How a healthy diet helps you and the environment The right dietary choices can not only improve your health but the environment as well. But urbanization and increasingly busy schedules force many people to seek the most convenient, and not necessarily the healthiest, foods.

The growing reliance on processed foods may be hurting humans and the planet they call home. Processed foods tend to be loaded with starches and preservatives, increasing consumers’ risk of diabetes and being obese. In addition, many prepackaged foods are shipped from faraway processing plants, and vast amounts of fuel must be consumed for products to get from those plants to local grocery stores.

But subtle shifts in dietary habits and trends can decrease mortality rates and reduce global greenhouse gas emissions resulting from food production. Adopting alternative diets that feature a higher ratio of fish, whole grains and locally grown produce can greatly reduce an individual’s carbon footprint.

The following are a few ways average men and women can eat to promote their own health while simultaneously protecting the environment.

• Adopt climate-friendly eating habits that rely on more domestic, in-season foods.

• Blend fruits and vegetables to create smoothies for breakfast or lunch on the go.

• Shred vegetables into a hearty “slaw” and top it with a vinaigrette or a typical mayonnaise-based dressing.

• Blend other vegetables into your pasta sauce.

• Shop at local markets that support nearby farms and farmer’s markets.

• Purchase products with the least amount of packaging.

• Use pureed vegetables to thicken cheese sauce for macaroni and cheese recipes.

• Shred vegetables and add them to beaten eggs for omelets or scrambles.

Cancer Support Community announces two new advisory board members

The Cancer Support Community Delaware, a nonprofit that provides emotional support services and educational resources to people affected by cancer, announces the appointment of two new members to its Sussex County Community Advisory Board. Joining the Advisory Board are Laura McKeown and Nitan Soni.

Laura McKeown was born and raised in Baltimore, Md. and worked in the medical field in an administrative position at a teaching hospital for 13 years before moving to Sussex County in 1989 with her late husband. Currently, Laura is the Facility Manager and Administrative Coordinator for the Easter Seals of Delaware & Maryland’s Eastern Shore which provides services to adults and children with disabilities. Her responsibilities include managing a 25,000 square foot building on 10 acres and providing a wide range of administrative support to the agency’s County Director, Program Managers, and 70 staff members. She also serves as the Chair of Easter Seal’s Regional Health and Safety Committee which is responsible for health and safety policies and procedures, and maintaining compliance with the Commission for the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities.

Nitan Soni recently settled in the Lewes area with his wife and two daughters after spending ten years enjoying summers at the Delaware coast. He brings with him a diverse skill set and experiences that stretch from Sports Management, Information Technology and Federal Government Law Enforcement.

He moved to the United States from the United Kingdom in 2002 after graduating with his IT degree from Middlesex University in London. After several years in New Jersey, he relocated to Delaware to pursue his Masters in Education from Wesley College. He returned to the classroom again in 2007 and gained a Masters Degree in Business Administration from Delaware State University. He is currently making full use of his experience and education as a local Realtor ® with Coldwell Banker Resort Realty in Rehoboth.

Nitan has always shown a deep investment in the community in which he lives and works. In addition to becoming an Advisory Board member with the Cancer Support Community, he continues to volunteer with the local Parent Teacher Organization and most recently accepted a position as a Director for the Henlopen Soccer Club. He is also an active member of the Lewes/Rehoboth Rotary.

Jo Allegro-Smith, Sussex County Director said, “Both of our newest Board members embody the spirit of community and bring talent, expertise and energy to the table. We are very fortunate to have them by our side. They join an active committee that has long been dedicated to ensuring that our friends, family and neighbors in Sussex County have access to vital cancer support resources.” Current Advisory Board members include: (Chair) Suzanne Landon, Steve Galata, Andrea Hanna, Pamela Montague, Tony Sasso and Carolyn DePew Swayze.

The Cancer Support Community Delaware is part of a national nonprofit organization that provides support, education and hope to people with cancer and their loved ones. Through participation in professionally led support groups, educational workshops and mind/ body classes, people affected by cancer learn vital skills that enable them to regain control reduce isolation and restore hope regardless of the stage of disease. At the Cancer Support Community Delaware, all programs are offered at no charge. More information about the Cancer Support Community and its other locations is available on their website at https://www.cancersupportdelaware.org/.

Local graduates go on to have successful careers

By Al Higgins

Have you ever looked at highly successful people and asked yourself how these folks got to be where they are?

Were they the product of the “Silver Spoon Syndrome” or maybe just lucky?

Often, however, following a little digging and research you find that they were very much like all of us; they simply may have worked a little harder.

David and Michael Taylor are two young men who have excelled in life.

David was appointed County Judge in Arizona at age 34 and Michael, 33, is a Post Doctorate Scholar living and working at the University of Cambridge in England. Both young men are from right here on the Eastern Shore. Here is a little about their journey.

Their parents, Susan and David Taylor, are long-time residents of the Eastern Shore. Susan can trace her heritage back to Pocahontas and David’s family arrived in America in 1634. Susan’s family owned a large farm in Dorchester County, while David’s family lived in Princess Anne. Susan earned her degree in microbiology from Arizona State and David, after graduating from Maryville College in Tennessee went on to earn his Masters in Psychology at

Salisbury University.

After meeting and eventually marrying, the Taylors built a house in Eden, close to Allen, one of the lesser developed towns on the Lower Shore. They still reside on the family homestead.

David served as the juvenile probation officer for the four Lower Shore Counties for over 30 years. He also worked for the Office of Youth Services for two years, before becoming a stock broker. Susan taught biology at the former Salisbury State University for many years and following the birth of her boys she obtained her nursing credentials and retired from her work at Coastal Hospice.

During this period the Taylors had the two boys. Both boys began their formal education at The Salisbury School while three years of age. David transferred to the Magnet School in North Salisbury for the fourth grade and Michael did the same when entering the second grade. Both boys progressed through the Salisbury School System. While they were in school, the boys played varsity sports including track, soccer and lacrosse. Their father encouraged them to play varsity sports, with the caveat that they kept their grades up.

Following high school, the boys went their separate ways for college.

David went to Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg, Va., where he studied History and Classics. After graduation he discovered a love for law and he enrolled in the Wake Forest law program. Upon graduation in 2005 he clerked for Judge Daniel M. Long in Somerset County, and then moved to Colorado and worked as a Staff Attorney for Judge Russell H. Granger, and began his own private practice.

On September 11, 2014 David was appointed by Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper to fill the vacancy in the office of the Gilpin County Court Judge in the First Judicial District.

David has had a long time passion for history and he believes his undergraduate work has helped him in his career and life, and will continue to help him in the judiciary. Following his appointment to judge he wrote, “…

Law school taught me what to do as a judge. Majoring in history, however, gave me the tools and the perspective to learn – for myself – the why behind the what; majoring in history has taught me the incredible truth in that saying.”

Laurel native Henry continues his education, sets example for family

By Rachel Farris Ashanti Henry, now a resident of Dover, still looks at home in his mother’s house in Laurel, perhaps in part due to his pictures and achievements scattered throughout the rooms.

His mom, Constance Jewett, moved to Laurel from New York when he was around four years old. His father remained in New York, and he continued to play a big part in his life, providing an authoritative figure from afar, traveling with him to Europe, and spending holiday and summer visits with him.

“I was living out my dream of raising my kids in a healthy environment,” Constance said. Living in New York, you could walk down the street, she said, and people would be throwing bottles out of windows. There were

laurelstar.com

frequent shootings, and it was not the environment that she wanted for them.

According to Constance, she had to fight to keep Henry in regular classes when he was in kindergarten. He had behavioral problems, she said, but they wanted to say that he had a learning disability and should be in a special education class.

“If that was necessary, I would’ve loved it,” Constance explained. “It’s great for the kids that need it, but I knew he didn’t have a learning disability. I knew he was very smart; he just needed to be challenged.”

She had IQ tests and IEP evaluations performed, everything to show that he did not need to be placed in a classroom for special help. After that, he was a straight A student all the way through high school, she added.

“It [wasn’t] all flowers and sun-

shine,” Henry amended. “I still got in trouble. I was still a teenager, and I still did a lot of things that I wasn’t supposed to do.”

When he was 17, he had his first child, a girl named Ny’ajah (now 11), and he dropped out of school to work. This caused some stir, he said, an honor roll student quitting school.

However, he finally remedied that situation. When he was 20, he joined the military, and through it, he received his GED. The same year, his second daughter, Ariyona (now 9), was born.

He joined the military in September 2007, graduated from Basic Training in December, and graduated from Advanced Individual Training as a culinary arts specialist in February 2008. A week after he married his longtime girlfriend and mother of his Continued on page 4

Live for Chocolate draws attention to women’s health issues, support from men

By Lynn R. Parks Live for Chocolate, sponsored every year by Nanticoke Health Services, the city of Seaford and the Greater Seaford Chamber of Commerce, is intended to draw attention to women’s health issues.

But at this year’s event, held Friday in downtown Seaford, attendees included a good number of husbands and boyfriends.

“It’s good to see so many men this evening,” said Missy Babinski, director of radiology at Nanticoke and, on Friday night, in charge of recruiting people for the Live for Chocolate cake walk. “It’s nice to see them out, supporting their wives and women in general.”

Among the younger men at Live for Chocolate were brothers Brock and Storm Willey, Seaford. About an hour

As longtime restaurant industry professionals and business partners, Bisaha and Baker realized a Scott-Hynson lifelong dream in 2010 when they opened their doors on Wilmington Avenue. Consistency, creative menu items and a stellar reputation have earned the partners countless awards locally and regionally. Open year-round, the business supports close to 50 employees and benefits numerous local food, produce and seafood suppliers.

At the gala, Audrey Scott-Hynson, business counselor for the Delaware Center for Enterprise Development at Delaware State University, was recognized as Delaware’s top Small Business Advocate.

Since the SBDC opened its Sussex/Kent office in the early 1990s, more than 40 local businesses and small business advocates have been nominated and many chosen as Delaware’s winners during the annual Small Business Administration’s Small Business Week celebrations.

HEALTH New Palliative Care program offered

For patients dealing with a serious illness, Bayhealth Kent General is now offering a Palliative Care program. The Palliative Care team works with patients in the hospital to relieve uncontrolled symptoms, improve communication and help with the coordination of care.

Palliative care supports patients during all stages of a serious illness, and is best introduced early in the treatment process. When a physician consults the Palliative Care team, they will work with the patient, and his or her family, to make sure that the patient receives the physical, emotional, and spiritual support needed to battle any advanced/ complex disease.

Bayhealth’s Palliative Care program is for inpatient use. It is not the same type of program as Hospice Care, which is meant for those approaching end-of-life. Palliative Care is appropriate for all stages of a serious illness.

To begin palliative care, ask your primary care physician for a referral to the Bayhealth Palliative Care program.

Bayhealth campus approved

After filing a Certificate of Public Review (COPR) in October 2015 with the Delaware Health Resources Board, Bayhealth was officially approved to move forward with its plan to build a new health campus in southern Delaware.

The COPR was backed by letters of support from state and city officials, local business leaders, educational institutions, and physicians.

Positioned on a 165-acre piece of land just off Rt. 1, the $275 to $300 million project will be more than just a hospital.

Services to support both inpatient and outpatient care will be in one convenient location on the corner of Wilkins and Cedar Creek Roads in Milford.

With the COPR approval, Bayhealth has released the conceptual renderings of the health campus including a site map.

Designed by architects at CannonDesign™, the conceptual renderings of the health campus are inspired by the landscape of southern Delaware.

The warm wood and waves in the building reflect local topography – emphasizing the healing power of nature. Visit ImagineDE.com to learn more about the project.

The Baltimore Ravens and Ravens RISE will host their annual Play Like a Raven Football Clinics, presented

by Under Armour, at four regional locations spanning Maryland, Pennsylvania and Delaware the week of June 13. Participants will receive instruction from USA Football certified master trainers and Heads Up Football-trained coaches. Former Ravens players OLB Brad Jackson, RB Jamal Lewis, CB Samari Rolle and CB Duane Starks will be in attendance to help lead the clinics.

“Promoting safe participation in the sport of football continues to be a top priority for our team,” explained Brad Downs, Ravens vice president of marketing. “We saw a tremendous response last year at our Play Like a Raven Football Clinics, and we are excited to reach new areas of our territory this summer, while further expanding the instruction taking place at the clinics.”

Skill- and age-specific groups will be available at all clinics to provide each participant ages 5-15 with instruction tailored to their footballplaying experience.

In addition to the on-field clinics, entertainment will also be available for fans in attendance, with appearances by Ravens Cheerleaders and mascot Poe, inflatables and autograph sessions with former Ravens players. The clinic in Seaford will feature

former Raven players Brad Jackson and Jamal Lewis and will take place at Seaford High School from 5:30-8 p.m. Other locations include: Fort Hill High School in Cumberland (Md.) on June 13, Gettysburg Middle School in Gettysburg (Pa.) on June 14, and Fallston Rec Council Athletic Complex in Fallston (Md.) on June 16.

Each clinic is $50, and participants will receive a clinic t-shirt provided

Music provides relaxation, healing

Mary Beth Palkon-Krytzer, RN, is a clinical nurse II in CDU at Beebe Healthcare’s Main Campus in Lewes.

As a nurse for more than 37 years, Palkon-Krytzer has always believed in the healing power of music.

When she came to Beebe, she talked to her supervisors about ways to bring music into patient rooms.

“Many of our patients are older and many may be suffering from dementia.

I’ve always felt that having music playing helps relax them and takes them back to a better time in their lives,” she said.

Earlier this year, Beebe partnered with the C.A.R.E. Channel®, which offers continuous relaxation imagery and music.

This channel is available in all patient rooms. The 24-hour format promotes relaxation during the day and enhances restful sleep at night.

In addition to improving sleep, music also helps with emotional healing, according to research cited by Psychology Today. Studies show that music can slow the heart rate and reduce blood pressure and cortisol levels. It can also help those suffering from depression, anxiety, and chronic pain.

The station does not include advertisements and adjusts based on the time of day. At night there are star sequences and in the morning, the sun rises and birds began to chirp.

“The channel really puts everyone in a better mindset and helps drown out the machines and other hospital noises,” said Palkon-Krytzer, a Philadelphia native who moved to the Lewes area about five years ago to live near the beach. “It really helps set the mood, improve sleep, and provide a more relaxing environment. It’s like spa music for patients.”

The C.A.R.E. Channel® is in use at more than 800 hospitals and healthcare systems.

For more information on the C.A.R.E. Channel®, visit www.healinghealth.com.

HEALTH

Mary Beth Palkon-Krytzer, a clinical nurse at Beebe Healthcare’s Medical Center in Lewes, was an advocate for bringing music into patients’ rooms to help with the healing process. She was ecstatic when Beebe installed the C.A.R.E. Channel, which can be viewed on Channel 12 in all patient rooms.

of a panel of experts with financial and gift planning. Ted Becker, past Beebe Medical Foundation board member, and mayor of Lewes, shared his inspiring story about the importance of an excellent community hospital. Becker is part of the Shaw

Society.

The Beebe Medical Foundation is looking to expand its planned giving program through the Shaw Legacy Society, which began in 1921, when Helen and Benjamin Shaw gave the first major philanthropic gift to Doctors James and Richard C. Beebe.

This gift was used to build the original, 35-bed hospital on Savannah Road, which has expanded into the Beebe Healthcare we know today.

Shaw Legacy Society members are those that have made a planned gift to Beebe through estate planning vehicles such as trusts, charitable annuities, real estate, and endowments.

The discussion panel included four speakers with expertise on estate planning. The panel included: Margo Cooke, CFRE, CAP; Lisa Hastings, CPA; Cindy Szabo, attorney at Law; and Bradley Travis, financial advisor, VP. Attendees were given a brief overview of planned giving from the panelists, and an opportunity to ask questions.

Tom Protack, vice president of development for the Beebe Medical Foundation said, “Currently, we have 260 members in the Loyalty Society and 31 members in the Shaw Society. As Beebe prepares for the future, expansion of our hospital and county-wide health campus, it will be important to continue to grow both the Loyalty Society and Shaw Society.”

TOURISM

Making Southern Delaware a year-round getaway

By Lana O’Hollaren Southern Delaware Tourism

Here in Southern Delaware our coastal areas have and continue to evolve into a year-round getaway destination. But Sussex County is filled with many hidden treasures and diverse offerings that remain largely undiscovered by visitors. That makes Southern Delaware Tourism’s mandate to market Sussex County as a whole both challenging and exciting. Our tagline is “Beaches are just the beginning”, and our marketing efforts reflect that.

Because Southern Delaware Tourism is funded by a percentage of the accommodations tax paid by guests who stay in Delaware hotels, our primary responsibility is to promote overnight stays.

Southern Delaware Tourism, in doing so, identifies “niche” opportunities that focus on the strengths of each part of the County. Some niche markets we strive to reach include: • Traveling adults and families who live outside a 50 mile radius who may not be familiar with Southern Delaware and the range of accommodations, attractions, and events available here • Outdoor lovers who enjoy golf, water sports, bicycling, hiking, fishing, birding, boating and nature • Arts and culture aficionados who like to visit galleries, watch artists at work, attend live musical and theatrical performances • Culinary travelers who wish to experience a wide selection of menu choices featuring fresh, local delicacies from exceptional chefs and renowned restaurants along our Culinary Coast™ • Heritage travelers who want to delve into Southern Delaware history while visiting our many museums and historic sites • Travelers who visit in groups for business meetings, family reunions, corporate retreats, etc., while enjoying the leisure activities and attractions Southern Delaware has to offer Our marketing plan focuses on advertising in media outlets from beyond a 50-mile radius of Sussex County.

Multimedia campaigns include a mix of traditional (print and TV) and digital/ online advertising including social media.

We choose our target markets based

on a variety of data collected throughout the year including the response to our advertising initiatives.

Currently, the markets from which the largest percentage of our visitors come include Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, New York, and Virginia; however,additional markets that are recently expressing interest in Southern Delaware include Ohio, New England and the Southeast.

In addition to designing creative targeted advertising campaigns, the success of our marketing plan is dependent upon Southern Delaware Tourism’s fostering excellent relationships with our tourism partners within the county. We do this through regular group and one-to-one partner meetings and via communications such as our quarterly Connections newsletter.

These valuable relationships help us in assisting with promotion of local tourism businesses; businesses that work so diligently to provide and enhance visitor

experiences. By staying up-to-date with the offerings of our partners, we are able to create and craft timely, relevant co-op advertising opportunities that save our partners advertising dollars while promoting their businesses to appropriately targeted niche markets.

Other components of our marketing program include: • Local on the Menu, which is designed to promote partnerships between local restaurants, farmers, and producers, and to demonstrate to visitors just how easy it is to find fresh, healthy, Sussex County meats, seafood, and produce along the Culinary Coast™ • Attendance at trade shows and business expos to promote Southern Delaware to consumers, groups, and tour leaders • E-Scapes, a consumer newsletter that is distributed to thousands of visitors and potential visitors every month and offers advertising opportunities to our county tourism partners.

COVER STORY

Sussex Tree now offers crane service

By Carol Kinsley and Rachel Farris

Sussex Tree was founded by Jeff Meredith Sr. in 1987. In an “impromptu career change,” according to his son, Jeffrey Meredith Jr., he used his past experience in customer service combined with his lifelong love of working with trees to create his new company. His son added that the company had originally been a way to make ends meet, and his father mentioned numerous times that he never dreamed it would grow to the success and size it obtained.

It initially was run by just Meredith Sr. along with one or two other employees, servicing the local Seaford, Bridgeville, and Georgetown areas. Eventually, the company expanded to service the beach areas and took off. “We have really set ourselves apart by the service we provide especially in these areas,” the younger Meredith said. “We operate very efficiently in this high end market

and have upheld the service this type of clientele expect.”

Sussex Tree has always been a full service tree care company, providing tree removal, tree trimming, stump grinding, hedge trimming, tree transplanting and plant health care services; however, in 2009, they established a landscaping division, STI. STI, like Sussex Tree, is full service, offering landscaping design and installation, maintenance contracts, mowing, hardscaping, planting, etc. “This growth was a natural fit since we work in client landscapes every day,” Meredith said.

Meredith joined his father’s company three years ago after working in engineering and construction management. His previous career allowed him to develop customer service skills and financial management, which he says has proven “very beneficial” with the Sussex companies’ recent growth.

He added that they are “still a family owned business(es) and myself, my father, my brother in

Jeff Meredith Jr.

Business Report | June 2016

law, and my wife all have pivotal roles within the company(ies).”

This dedication to the company and continuing growth have surely contributed to the next step the Merediths have taken. After nearly 30 years in business, Jeff Meredith Sr. and his son have decided to start another company to add another service for their clients and the public at large. The new company is Sussex Crane LLC. “Is it odd to purchase a crane?”

Meredith asked. “We often use a crane for complicated, hazardous situations, or where a customer doesn’t want equipment in the yard. We’ve been using a crane service for this type of removal for 25 years.”

As the tree business has grown, the number of times a crane is needed has increased. “So why not think of buying one and starting a sister company?” Meredith continued. The new company was a natural fit, and being able to offer crane service will further set their company apart from competitors, he added.

As an extra bonus, Sussex Crane has been able to keep the same operator, Ephraim “Eph” Mulford, who has been working with the Merediths for tree removal for more than 20 years.

He is certified by the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operator, and, of course, the company is insured and bonded.

“Eph has a solid reputation in the county for being the ‘best’ operator when it comes to tree work,” said Meredith. “This opinion is shared by many other of the local tree companies as well.

When the opportunity came up, we approached him about joining our staff to help us and he quickly accepted. We are blessed to have

Shown (l to r) are: Dave Harbin (Operator), Mark Weaver - Altec Cranes, Eph Mulford (Operator), Jeff Meredith (President), Jeffrey Meredith (Vice President), Rich Held - Altec Account Manager for MD/DE, and Wayne Kenny - Altec Cranes Account Manager.

such a skilled staff, which now he is a part of.”

The crane purchased by the Merediths has 127 feet of boom and will be offered for general crane services such as erecting prefab trusses for home or commercial construction, commercial steel erection, lifting HVAC units into place, and so forth.

“We feel we might have a niche market,” Meredith said.

The crane has a fixed two-man basket which can lift workers high in the air to service lights in parking lots, for example.

The 38-ton crane is considered medium sized and falls under Department of Transportation regulations as not requiring a permit to transport down highways, Meredith said.

“This allows us to respond faster to emergency situations, such as storm clean-up, when we’re needed as soon as pos-

sible. We won’t have to wait for a permit.”

Based in Bridgeville, Sussex Crane will service all of Sussex County, some of Kent County and parts of Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

The tree care business is a tightly knit group. “We plan to help friendly competitors as well,” Meredith said.

Tree removal is one the most dangerous parts of the tree care industry. Often, the tree is close to a building, service line or delicate area. To remove such a tree requires a great amount of experience and the proper equipment.

Sussex Tree has both.

The staff is well trained and the equipment is the best in the industry. Sussex Tree offers tree removal, pruning, trimming, stump grinding, tree transplanting, hedge trimming and plant health care services. Its full-

service landscape division, STI Landscape Center, provides high-end design, installation and maintenance, including lawn care, residential and commercial mowing, mulching, hardscaping and snow removal.

The Merediths say, “Our clients’ satisfaction is our number one concern. Our promise is to deliver the highest quality to our customers in a friendly timely fashion.

“Every part of every job will be perfect. No exceptions.”

Agriculture Tucker Mechanical Services

By Carol Kinsley

Good product, good service, good customers — that’s what has kept Tucker Mechanical Service of Bethel in the agricultural irrigation business for the past 25 years.

“Our main thing is service,” said founder Doug Tucker. “When we say 24/7, we mean it.”

Tucker realizes how important it is to his farmer customers to have irrigation available when they need it. There are peak times when sufficient water is critical to a crop. “It hurts yields if irrigation is not done when it’s needed,” he said.

Tucker started working for Richard and Phyllis Carmine at Sussex Machine Works in 1982 and started putting up irrigation systems.

In 1991, he decided to try it on his own and started Tucker Mechanical. In 1999, he started selling Valley Irrigation systems. Valley is a worldwide leader in center pivot and linear irrigation equipment.

Tucker Mechanical sells and services pivots, pumps, wire — anything to do with

agricultural irrigation, for any type of system, in Delaware and on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

“We service all the brands and carry parts for them all,” he said.

All the irrigation systems are good, Tucker added. “I think our product is the best. They all do the same thing. But if they’re not running, they’re no good,” Tucker said.

He and his nine employees, including his son, D.J., make themselves available weekends and holidays, especially in the months from May to September when farmers need them most. Tucker’s wife, Kathy, helps keep things running smoothly in the office.

“We have a lot of good customers. If you treat them right, they’ll stick with you,” Tucker said.

The company was run out of their home at first, then they rented the former offices of Jade Run Sod Farm in Bethel, at 29697 Jade Run Drive. “We rented for five or six years. I bought the place last year, and we are remodeling.”

Part of the remodeling will be a larger parts department, including the area customers often

utilize for jobs that they can fix on their own.

Technology has come a long way, Tucker noted, and younger farmers, especially, are adapting. “With new technology, they can use their iPhones to start the machine, or tell it to change directions, while they sit home and watch.”

Two years ago, Valley Irrigation merged with AgSense, makers of remote irrigation management products that use digital technology to remotely monitor, start and stop a center pivot. Monitoring is possible through any Web-connected smartphone, tablet or desktop computer. Also available are fertigation, variable rate irrigation, soil moisture monitoring and custom prescription programming.

According to data from the National Agricultural Statistics Service, Delaware farm fields that used irrigation in 2013 produced 27 percent more corn per acre than non-irrigated fields.

Call the office at 302-536-7730, Tucker’s cell at 302-841-4832, or email tms934@ comcast.net to see what Tucker Mechanical Services can do for your farm.

Charles Frederick Fifer moved his family to Kent County nearly 100 years ago to start a diversified farm now managed by his grandchildren, Mary Fifer Fennemore and Carlton Fifer, and the fourth generation: Bobby, Curt and David Fifer and Michael Fennemore.

Happily, there’s a fifth generation, all under age 14, growing up and loving the farm. They invite parents and kids to “Storytime on the farm with Miss Jackie” on June 1.

Fifer’s hosts a series of Farm-to-Table dinners throughout the summer months.

Abbott’s Grill will hold the first dinner at Fifer’s on June 3. Call Abbott’s for detailed information and reservations at 302-491-6736.

Peaches are looking good despite the weather and should be ready for harvest by the end of June through early September.

Michael Fennemore said, “We continue to be impressed with how much better the peach crop looks. We expect to have plenty of peaches for our local customers. Keep in mind, there are many other challenges to growing fruit (not just cold). We won’t know what we have until the ‘fruit is in the basket.’”

U-pick peaches, apples and pumpkins are available in season. You can’t get produce fresher than that.

Del Tech communities offer creative learning

For the last six years, Delaware Technical Community College students have enjoyed a fun, creative, and engaging way to learn – through a Learning Community.

“The student experience from a Learning Community is very unique and very enriching,” said Gail Charrier, Learning Communities coordinator for the Owens Campus and for all of Delaware Tech.

“With a Learning Community there are several goals and benefits, and it’s an especially great way for a first semester student to attend classes because they get to read and write about their chosen interest right away.”

A Learning Community is a combination of courses linked together around a common topic or theme. The instructors for each course collaborate to allow students to work on integrated assignments – ones that include content from all courses. For example, a student in the Adventures in Agriculture Learning Community, which combines agriculture science with English 101, would interview an agriculture business Students in the Planning an Agribusiness the Write Way Learning Community visited Vanderwende’s owner for their interview assignment.

On-campus, and on-campus that relates to the content Kidd, Owens Campus Agriculture instruccourses utilize the entrepreneur program being taught.

One of the most popular aspects of “It’s important to get out of the classroom campus trips include the Mutter Museum, the program is the experiential learning as a group and get to know each other as a group. It also allows for different applications of the source material, because it makes it come alive instead of just reading or talking about it.”

Different Learning Communities are offered at all campuses of Delaware Tech.

This past academic year, there were 19 Learning Communities offered at the Owens Campus, and 31 different Learning Communities instructors. For the next academic year, Charrier said they are planning on adding some different departments on campus and expanding the offering even more.

“It would be a great thing to be able to offer our student a Learning Community every semester they are here,” Charrier said.

Fulton Bank supports the Agriculture Industry for long-term success

Agriculture can be a costly business. From the price of new machinery to fuel and labor costs to the value of land, agriculture requires more capital than many other industries.

Agricultural ventures are also vulnerable to the forces of nature, market fluctuations and variable commodity prices. That is why building a relationship with a bank that understands the industry is a crucial part of farming.

At Fulton Bank, we recognize the challenges of agriculture, and we have a longstanding commitment to serving the ag community. Since Fulton Bank was founded in 1882, the agricultural industry has been a part of our foundation – serving local merchants and farmers was the original mission of our bank – and it remains a cornerstone of our organization today.

Originally conceived as a year round destination where baseball players, teams, and coaches could work out, receive instruction and training, and attend skill camps, The Indoor Academy at Sports at the Beach (SATB) in Georgetown, new this spring, has turned into something much bigger.

The 8,400 square foot heated indoor facility is outfitted with all-purpose rubber mat flooring, retractable batting cages, basketball nets, pickle ball courts, peg climbing, and a full time staff to coordinate events. Sports at the Beach has also extended their sports area to include 13,000 square feet of new outdoor courts for basketball and pickle ball.

Event activities at the facility are evolving, but will include youth and adult programs for baseball, softball, basketball, soccer, dodgeball, pickle ball, yoga, fitness programs, corn hole tournaments, various summer camps, league sports, and more.

Additionally, Sports at the Beach has also extended their pool hours to every day from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Pool memberships for families or individuals are available.

The facility seeks instructors and is taking requests for leagues for all sports and encourages community members to provide feedback and suggestions.

“Sports at the Beach has long been known as one of the premiere tournament facilities in the mid-Atlantic, attracting thousands of visitors to the Delaware beach communities” said Chris Giacomucci, executive director of the Delaware Sports Commission.

“The addition of the indoor facility will allow the complex to expand its opportunities for new event organizers and visitors.”

NEW HONORARY MAYOR - The Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce (CDCC) 5th Annual Honorary Mayor Race came to a close on April 27, with Jean Dowding - realtor, veteran and educator - being named the new honorary mayor. The Honorary Mayor Program is a three-month long tongue-incheek campaign that provides an abundance of shameless business advertising to the candidates vying for the office while raising funds for the CDCC. The four candidates running this year were Dawne NickersonBanez of Frankfurt Bakery & Deli, John Yoho of Little Caesar’s, Katrina Sullivan with the Delaware State News, and Jean Dowding of The Dowding Group at Re/Max. Together, the candidates raised a record high for the Honorary Mayor Program. Pictured from left: John Yoho, Katrina Sullivan, Jean Dowding, and Dawne Nickerson-Banez.

Trinity Logistics has been announced as the Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA)’s 2016 Samaritan Award winner.

This prestigious award is given annually to a third party logistics company (3PL) that offers exceptional assistance to others in need.

Trinity Logistics, in conjunction with its non-profit organization, the Trinity Foundation, organizes events to benefit charitable causes year-round.

The main focus areas include the local communities surrounding Trinity’s five main offices, health awareness, and youth leadership development.

The Foundation gives out scholarships for local youth and raises funds for causes including local cancer and heart centers, sports events, meal drives, and support for families in need at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

The TIA recognizes that voluntary service or assistance can take a multitude of forms, and was impressed by the Trinity Foundation’s variety of outreach methods.

Along with the award, the TIA donates all funds raised by their annual TIA Foundation Charity Fun Run to a charity of the winner’s choice. Trinity has designated the Delmarva Teen Challenge Home of Hope as the beneficiary of this year’s funds. Home of Hope is a women’s center for those healing from life-controlling addictions across the Delmarva (Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia) region.

“This accolade from the TIA is a testament to how individuals can come together for a cause and leave a legacy,” said Jeff Banning, president and CEO of Trinity Logistics. “Team Trinity’s choice of the Home of Hope as the recipient of the award will make such an impact on Delmarva. I am very proud of this team.”

Nonprofits: Are your translations engaging your Hispanic leaders

By Patricia Rivera

Any nonprofit that makes the effort to translate marketing materials into another language is to be commended for its forward-thinking strategies. Nonprofits are not unlike businesses in that they run on numbers and figures – the number of members, clients and donors they attract and the dollar figure available for providing services.

That means you must reach out to both your potential clients and donors. Many of those may hail from outside the United States and speak another language, so it’s important to make contact with them.

However, word-for-word translation is not always enough. In fact, across-the-board translations that don’t address a specific culture’s way of expressing a word or term may do more harm than good.

A “generic” translation screams out to your readers that you probably are not going to understand them and, consequently, you can’t help them.

The famous example of such a faux pas is the highly successful “Got milk” campaign. The translation for those two words is “¿Tienes leche? But to a Spanish-speak-

ing person, the milk industry’s translation asked, “Are you lactating?” One can only imagine the embarrassing if not disastrous repercussions of such an oversight!

To make sure you’re spot on with your translations, you need to take them a step further.

Transcreation is taking a translated text and adapting it to your intended audience, including their specific culture. You’re then speaking not just to Latin Americans but Puerto Rican or Cubans, depending on your target audience. This type of translation requires linguistic knowledge of the language and culture. When you get it right, your reader will instantly know it. And the same goes for when you get it wrong.

In transcreation, your translator will need greater creative license with the copy. Words may need to be rearranged or entire phrases may need to be substituted with the proper terminology.

VIA’s Transcreation: The Next Step Beyond Translation gives an excellent example of how knowledge of culture comes into play when translating linguistically.

In an ad for a senior assistance business, the English version says: Our organization is here to help today’s seniors live healthfully and with independence. But the Spanish translation puts

a somewhat different spin on the message.

In English it says: Our organization is here to help the seniors in our families live healthfully and happily.

The words “our families” were added and the word “indeRivera pendence” was omitted. Why? Because Hispanics don’t think of their parents as living independently. The ties between the generations are stronger than they typically are in the U.S. And the transcreated message appeals to the emotions of the Hispanic reader and his or her commitment to the care for parents and grandparents.

So make sure your translations connect emotionally and intelligently to your audience by incorporating culture and linguistics into your messages. You are far more likely to get their attention, gain their respect and acquire new clients and donors.
