REMEMBERING FOOTBALL GLORY DAYS - Former members of Laurel High School football teams burst through a banner on their way to the football field at Laurel High School during Saturday’s Dog Day, sponsored by the Laurel Alumni Association.

Coach Schollenberger is named top coach in state Editor’s note - the following information was taken from an article written by Bruce Weber for Scholastic Coach and Athletic Director magazine. The magazine recently named top coaches from the past 75 years from each state. The Delaware top coach is George Schollenberger, who was a coach at Laurel High School for 36 years. He was nominated for the honor by Ben Sirman, a 1958 graduate of Laurel High. When Scholastic Coach & Athletic Director got ready to light the candles for its 75th anniversary year, the staff decided that any coaching magazine worth its title had to honor its constituents. After serious consultation, we decided to ask each state to name its top coach — male or female, any
sport, anytime from 1931 to the present. Sounded easy. It wasn’t. We enlisted the help of NOCAD, the National Organization of Coaching Association Directors, the umbrella group of many of the nation’s top high school coaches associations. Most of them were delighted to take part. From what we gathered, more than a few association boards of directors debated into the wee hours before finally settling on that one special coach. Some associations, much like those potato chip ads, couldn’t pick just one and passed the choice back to us. In states without a NOCAD-affiliated association, we asked local sports media, historians and other experts to help us find the winner. Herewith, with thanks to all of those Continued on page 5

Commemoration of Smith’s Chesapeake journey begins By Lynn R. Parks Nearly 400 years ago, Capt. John Smith, described as “quick-witted, fearless and tough as a stump,” led 14 fellow Englishmen on two expeditions from the newly-built Jamestown, Va., up the Chesapeake Bay. The first of those voyages included a trip up the Kuskarawaok River, what we now call the Nanticoke. “There were a couple of skirmishes,” said John Paul Williams, a naturalist with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. “Some arrows flew, there was some gunpowder fired, and we think that some natives got injured. There was some blood on the riverbank. But Smith made friends within about 12 hours.” Smith, probably in a native canoe, explored the river, coming about as far north as Phillip’s Landing, where the Broad Creek empties into the Nanticoke. From the native Kuskarawaok people, he learned about their trade with the Massawomeck tribe to the north, knowledge that fueled his desire to explore the rest of the bay. And how do people of the 21st century know all of this? Smith left a journal, in which he wrote about his experiences. He also left a remarkably detailed map, Williams said, that in preparation for the 400th anniversary of the trip has been recreated using modern geographic information system (GIS) technology. “You can see every curve in that river on Smith’s map,” Williams said. “You can tell the location of all the native villages. He was working with a sketchbook, a primitive sextant and an hourglass, and it is amazing how accurate he was.” Williams spoke Monday night to a standing-room-only crowd in the Methodist Manor House, Seaford, on Smith’s exploration of the Chesapeake Bay. His lecture kicked off a series of events that will make up the Seaford Historical Society’s commemoration of the 400th anniversary of Smith’s voyage. The commemoration will culminate on May 30, when a recreation of the shallop that Smith used to explore the Chesapeake will arrive in Seaford. “We call it a commemoration, not a celebration, because there was an ugly side to this,” said Williams, who has written a book for the National Geographic

Society about Smith’s explorations. That ugly side has to do with how the arriving Europeans, including Smith, pushed the native people off their land. It also has to do with the roots of slavery in the New World. Williams said that Virginia has celebrated the founding of Jamestown and Smith’s explorations every 50 years since 1807. This commemoration will be different, he said, because it will include the dedication of America’s first National Heritage Water Trail. The trail, which will be dedicated on Dec. 9, exactly 400 years after the colonists left England for the New World, will “give a larger context to Jamestown,” Williams said. He also hopes that it will encourage people to explore the bay. “What we had here was the most remarkable meeting of human history and natural history,” he said. “We want people to understand what the bay and its rivers have meant to our history and to the history of the native people who were here before us.” Williams also hopes that continued study of the Chesapeake in terms of its history will help scientists understand what the bay was like when Smith and his men explored it. “If we can understand how it evolved over the last 400 years, maybe we can understand how to restore

it to health,” he said.
Looking for gold and silver Williams told the crowd Monday night that Smith, born in 1580, ran off from his Lincolnshire, England, home at the age of 16 to become a mercenary, fighting for England against the Spanish in Holland. He returned home at 17 and “went into the woods, where he spent a year reading the adventures of Marcus Aurelius,” a Roman emperor. At 20, he joined the crew of a pirate ship and, after a successful raid, “had money in his pocket all of a sudden.” In a true story that reads like something from Arabian Nights, he went to Hungary, where he fought for Austria against the Turks, was captured, sold into slavery and taken to Russia. The Turkish princess whom he was supposed to serve fell in love with him and to escape he had to kill her brother in hand-to-hand combat, Williams said. Finally, back in Austria, he was presented with several awards for valor and was made a captain in the army. At the age of 26, he found himself back in England, where he signed on with the Virginia Company of London to help set up a colony on the Bay of Chesapeake. Smith, who eventually became president of the colony, set out on his first exploration of the bay June 2, 1608, after the colony had made it through its first winter. That journey included the trip up the Nanticoke, which took place June 9 and 10. He returned to Jamestown July 21 and three days later headed out again, this time heading as far north as Smith Falls (now Conowingo Dam) on the Susquehanna. Smith had three charges from his native England. First, “England wanted gold and silver, and they were sure it was here,” Williams said. Second, Smith was looking for a passage to the Orient. And third, he was assessing the military strength of the natives, as well as the potential for trade with them. “Smith was short, tough and red-headed,” Williams said. “At age 26, he was able to inspire men. He worked hard and was willing to endure rough conditions. He was experienced, tough, adaptable. And he longed to explore. “Even though he was only 5 feet 4 inches, he was truly a larger than life figure.” For your information: The Seaford Historical Society is planning the following activities to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Capt. John Smith’s trip up the Chesapeake Bay and the Nanticoke River. Events are free and open to the public.

Shwed reminded people who were attending the council meeting that in all cases, the property owners request the annexation. “All of these annexations help to attract business and jobs to Laurel,” he said. “They all fit in with the plan we have set forth in our overall Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the community. All of these properties came to us requesting to be annexed into the community; we did not go out and recruit properties for annexation.”
Shwed hopes that having the growth in Laurel will be a key component in maintaining stabilization in the community’s economy. “I am proud to welcome anyone who wants to be a part of our community,” he said. “Economy drives our country and here in Laurel enhancing the corporate limits of the town can increase revenues and help keep property taxes stable; maybe even someday allow us to reduce taxes if we can get the critical mass needed.”

who helped and with apologies to all who feel we’ve fumbled in this most subjective of all efforts, are our picks for every state’s high school Coach of the Three-Quarter Century. Delaware — When Coach Schollenberger arrived at Laurel High in 1930, he took the helm of the football, basketball, baseball and girls’ basketball teams, and distinguished himself in each. In football, his 36-year record was 140-109-21, including five undefeated seasons. His 1957 squad was one of the most dominating in Delaware history, scoring 222 points while allowing just 12. In 30 years as a boys basketball coach he had a 299-130 record. In 23 years as baseball coach, he was 154-88. And while no records were kept in girls’ basketball in the early ‘30s, he led Laurel to a state championship in that sport as well. Athletic director at Laurel for seven years (1966-’73), Schollenberger was inducted into the Delaware Sports Hall of Fame, and was president of the Delaware Retired Teachers Association. Coach Schollenberger passed away on Aug. 17, 1982, at the age of 77.
memories in true tailgate fashion as members of alumni football teams spanning 70 years lined up to register for the day’s events. Among those attending was Joe Hitchens, class of 1941, known as Joe the “Bulldog.” The story has it that this is where the Bulldog name originated. Greensbury Whaley was present, representing the team of 1942. Whaley brought with him an original team photo and tucked behind the frame was his varsity certificate. “I was number 44,” he said, pointing to the picture. Laurel athlete and former player with the Los Angeles Rams Ron Waller was also present. The decade of the 50s was represented with 21 participants from the classes of 1956, 1957, 1958 and 1959. 1956 marks the beginning of the longest winning streak in Laurel football history. With the most players present at the reunion, the
1956 team won bragging rights. The Laurel Alumni Association will present a scholarship in their honor at the May annual scholarship banquet. According to John Downes, fund-raising committee member, players from the 1960s won the pass and punt contest, coming in 15 yards ahead of any other group. But the real star of the day was the bull in the Cow Drop, whose work was accomplished nearly one half hour after storming onto the field. All proceeds benefit the alumni association’s scholarship fund. Said alumni association fund-raising chairman Chuck Pugh, “People really enjoyed themselves and we accomplished our goals. I think we can safely say this was a very successful day.”

Business Universal Design home shown off to the public By Daniel Richardson The Universal Design in Housing Coalition of Delaware supported the recent construction of a new style of model home in Seaford. Universal Design is a new way of remodeling or designing a home or office building in order to accommodate a variety of needs. Wider doors, no steps to climb, lower light switches and more accessible bathrooms are some of the features that distinguish Universal Design from a more traditional design. The idea behind Universal Design is that, while you may not need these features now, you never know what challenges the future may hold. Many people would like to stay in their homes when they age and this kind of remodeling can help people achieve this goal. Universal Design has been capturing national attention and was recently featured in articles in the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal.

Del Tech has new digital imaging lab
Middle School students finish after-school program Thirty-two students and their families and friends gathered recently at the fellowship hall of St. John’s Church in Seaford to celebrate the students’ completion of an after-school tutoring program with The Learning Curve Inc. The program, sponsored by the Seaford School District, is in its third year in Seaford. The Learning Curve also has programs in both Virginia and Florida. Each year the school district invites students to participate in 30 one-hour sessions of faceto-face tutoring in either math or reading. “Students receive focused instruction on the particular skills with which he or she struggles,” said Dr. Colleen Hogan, program coordinator. “Gaps in understanding are identified through diagnostic testing, then an individualized program of study is created for each student addressing these needs.” Each student invited a favorite teacher to attend Friday’s celebration as a guest. These teachers have all made a positive impact on the students’ lives, and were recognized with a small gift and a photograph with their student host. Students completing the program received a “grand prize” as a reward for sustained effort during the program. Such re-

wards include bikes, CD players and boomboxes. Also in attendance at Friday’s ceremony was Mark Malone, owner of The Learning Curve Inc. “This program is a proven success,” he said. “Students gain an average of more than one grade equivalency level during the course of the program, and many progress by two or more grade equivalency levels.”
Malone attributes the success of the program to the individually tailored course of study for each student. Tutors were Ginny Succarotte, Laura Pritchett, Brian Tinsman, Rachel Hovermale, Jamie Board and Bailea McMillen. Hogan added that students not only make gains in math and reading skills, but also grow in confidence in their ability to meet new challenges.
The radiologic technology department at Delaware Technical and Community College, Georgetown, has a new state-ofthe art energized lab. The $121,550 lab, which will provide students with access to the latest techniques in digital imaging, was jointly funded by Beebe Medical Center, Bayhealth Medical Center and Nanticoke Memorial Hospital. The lab design closely resembles that of a medical imaging facility. The x-ray equipment is energized to produce radiographic exposures on an x-ray mannequin. The images produced are then processed, viewed, manipulated and stored by computerized technology. Digital radiography is the process of creating images of the human body for medical diagnostic purposes. Students will have the opportunity to develop technical skills within a controlled environment prior to clinical application at area medical facilities. The lab provides the critical link from theoretical classroom instruction to practical handson experience. Its uses will span the curriculum and be the foundation for instruction in the program. A grand opening for the lab was held in February. Demonstrations of the new lab equipment were provided to guests and students after the lab opening.

Arts & Entertainment Spirits of The Green Return to Heritage Park The Spirits of The Green will return to the First State Heritage Park at Dover beginning at 11 a.m. Saturday, April 7, to bring history alive with their tales of the markets and taverns, soldiers and slaves, and law makers and law breakers that once populated Dover's 18th century town square. Throughout the spring season, the costumed interpreters portraying 18th century tavern servants will be on The Green from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. every Saturday. At 2 p.m., the Spirits will offer walking tours of The Green. On April 7, hear stories about Dover during the Revolution, on April 14, revisit Dover's Civil War history, and on April 21 and 28, take "A Walk Through Time" to hear stories spanning Dover's 300 year history. Walking tours of Historic Dover with non-costumed historic interpreters are also offered daily at 2 p.m. All tours are free of charge and begin at the Delaware Visitor Center on Federal Street. Since this enjoyable and educational living history program began last summer, the Spirits have talked to hundreds of visitors about the people and stories that make
the Dover Green such a unique place. Visitors can also stop in at the Delaware Visitor Center at any time during the day and rent a self-guided audio tour of nearly 30 sites in Dover's Historic District to walk at their own pace. The fee for audio tours is $5, but be sure to ask for your $2 off coupon.

Laurel’s July 4 fest will be held in Broad Creek park Parade to be evening of July 3, when temperatures are cooler By Lynn R. Parks In its 13th year, the annual Fourth of July celebration sponsored by the town of Laurel and the Laurel Chamber of Commerce has a new venue. The festival will be held this year in Janosik Park, on the banks of Broad Creek. Also for the first time, the event’s Red, White and Blue Parade will be held on July 3, the evening before the festival. Moving the festival from downtown to the park will mean that there will be fewer vendors, said Tammy Sisk, executive director of the chamber. But that is all right with her. “With a smaller area, things will be concentrated,” she said. “Our volunteers will be able to check on everybody easily.” And that is important, she added, because so far only five people have volunteered to help with the festival. “I have a lot of complaints, but few volunteers,” she added. “I’ve started telling people that unless they are volunteers, I don’t want to hear their complaints.” Sisk said that she sent letters to all 140 members of the Laurel Chamber of Commerce, asking each business to come up with at least two people who could help out during the festival. “No one even responded to me,” she said. “If it wasn’t for
the chamber’s board members, I wouldn’t have much help at all.” The board of directors has nine people on it. In addition to making the festival smaller, the chamber was also interested in getting its activities out of the vacant lot next to The Insurance Market. In years past, the easily-flooded lot has been home to the carnival, children’s games and food and craft vendors. “Last year, there was so much water down there that I saw several big Rubbermaid tubs floating right past me,” Sisk said. “Even if it rains several days before, it is still muddy. We wanted something different, something better.” Janosik Park does not flood so easily, she said. And it has trees, something the vacant lot does not have. “The scenery along the creek there is beautiful,” Sisk said. “You’re right on the water and there is shade.” The chamber considered holding the festival on the grounds of Laurel High School or North Laurel Elementary School. But Sisk said that the day after speaking to the Laurel School Board about the possibility, she called the district to withdraw the request. It was obvious from the way the board members reacted, she said, that they were not in favor of the idea. This year’s festival will not have a car
show—last year’s car show had poor attendance because Bargain Bill’s on U.S. 13 hosted a car show the same day, Sisk said. The festival will also not have a motorcycle show. Only three motorcycles registered for the show last year. As for the 5K run that used to start the festival, Sisk said that no one has come forward this year to organize it. The run was sponsored by the Boys and Girls Club of Western Sussex. “If anyone wants to do it, they can call me and we can include it,” she said. Activities will start Monday, July 2, with the carnival, which will be set up in the parking lot of the Game Zone. For the first time, rides will be provided by Sherwood Amusements, Upper Falls, Md., the same company that does the carnival for Bridgeville’s Apple-Scrapple Festival. “We will have safer and better rides, and more rides for older children,” Sisk said. The carnival will be open from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Monday night and again from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday night. The parade will get under way at 7 p.m. Tuesday, marching as usual from the Laurel Middle School north along Central Avenue to the Game Zone. “We are holding the parade at nighttime simply because it’s cooler,” said Sisk. “During the day, it gets so hot you can’t even enjoy the parade.” Activities on July 4th will start with a prayer breakfast at 8 a.m. in Janosik Park. Gospel singer Jerry Jones will kick off the

She said that the chamber cannot afford the cost of renting a sound system. The talent show will be followed by the mayor’s watermelon invitational seed-spitting contest and then at noon by the announcements of winners from the previous night’s parade. Clown duo Side By Side will provide entertainment from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., then popular band The Funsters will take the stage at 2 p.m. The Honeycombs will perform from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., about the start of the fireworks show. As for the fireworks, Sisk said that they will be “a thousand times better than they have ever been.” Because the show will be controlled by computer, several rockets will be able to go up at once, she said. In addition, the rockets will be able to go up higher. The carnival, which will open the festival, will also close it. Rides will remain open Wednesday evening after the fireworks show has ended.

Adam Walsh Act legislation introduced in Delaware Delaware Attorney General Joseph R. Biden, III joined State Sen. Patricia Blevins (DElsmere), Delaware House Speaker Terry Spence (R-Stratford), and State Rep. Pete Schwartzkopf (D-Rehoboth) as they announced the introduction of Senate Bill 60, which implements the federal Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006. The Adam Walsh Act aligns sex offender registry standards across the states, asks states to place the burden of proof on convicted sex offenders, and authorizes more than $57 million in additional federal funding to aid states in their efforts to track convicted sex offenders and investigate and prevent sex crimes. Senate Bill 60 seeks to further toughen Delaware’s registration requirements for convicted sex offenders and stiffens penalties for sex offenders who fail to verify. Implementation of the federal Adam Walsh Act will: • Require convicted sex offenders to appear in person to register, re-register, or verify with the Delaware State Police. • Reduce the amount of time a convicted sex offender has to register or re-register after being released on probation or parole from seven business days to three business days. • Require convicted sex offenders to provide additional identifying information to authorities, including the offender’s social security number and vehicle registration. Furthermore, this bill goes beyond the Adam Walsh act in two significant ways, by: • Making it a felony for failure to register, re-register, or verify as required by law. • Mandating that a warrant be issued immediately for the arrest of any offender who fails to register, re-register, or verify as required by law. “This legislation places the burden of notification squarely in the hands of offenders, where it ought to be,” Senator Blevins stated. “The bill has real teeth. It makes these offenders more accountable to the State and gives law enforcement better information to protect our citizens.” If this legislation becomes law, Delaware will be one of the first states in the nation to implement the federal Adam Walsh
Act. Passage of the Delaware act now makes the state eligible to immediately seek additional federal funds to more effectively carry out three critical law enforcement initiatives: (1) tracking and verifying all registered sex offenders (2) enforcing sex offender registration requirements
(3) educating children and parents about safe use of the internet “It’s critical that Delaware continue to access its full complement of federal funds made available through the Adam Walsh Act. Every dollar we bring in from Washington enhances our ability to track and verify these
offenders,” Speaker Spence said. “This legislation sends a message to sexual offenders throughout the state to register and verify, or go to jail,” noted Representative Schwartzkopf. “A primary initiative of my office is to better protect all victims from sexual predators, and I believe that this legislation does
just that,” Attorney General Biden said. “The get-tough provisions of this legislation will aid law enforcement in verifying and tracking Delaware’s sex offenders. The effective and ongoing registration and verification of these offenders is essential to the safety and security of all Delawareans.”

Bill requests that egg-laying hens be able to spread wings Delaware State Representative Pamela Maier (R 21st) and Senator Karen Peterson (D 9th) have introduced a bill that would address one of the most notorious factory farming abuses. The bill, H.B. 95, would provide the most basic protection for the state's egglaying hens: enough room merely to spread their wings. It is assigned to the Judiciary Committee. According to Sen. Peterson, "The vast majority of Delaware's chicken farmers don't confine their birds in cages so overcrowded that they can barely move. However, some of our state's egg-laying hens do suffer this cruel and inhumane fate, and this must come to an end." U.S. factory farms confine nearly 300 million hens in barren battery cages that are so small, the birds can't even spread their wings. Each bird has less space than a single sheet of paper on which to live. There is only one poultry farm in Delaware that confines egg-laying hens in battery cages. Following is a timeline that shows that changes are taking place to address this problem: • March 2007- Burger King announces that it has started phasing in the use of cage-free eggs and pork from producers that don't confine pigs in gestation crates. • March 2007- Wolfgang Puck announces the implementation of a wideranging program to improve animal wel-

fare in his supply chain, including not using foie gras, battery cage eggs, or pork or veal from crated sows and calves. • March 2007- New Port Richey, Fla., unanimously passes a bill condemning battery cages and encourages egg consumers to not purchase eggs from caged hens. • January 2007- West Hollywood, Calif. unanimously passes a bill condemning battery cages and encourages egg consumers to not purchase eggs from caged hens. • September 2006- Ben & Jerry's announces that it will phase out the use of eggs from caged hens in all its ice creams. • September 2006- Takoma Park, Md. unanimously passes a bill condemning battery cages and encourages egg consumers to not purchase eggs from caged hens. • May 2005- Whole Foods Market and Wild Oats Natural Marketplace announce that they have ended sales of eggs from caged hens.

The Easter message is the core of the Gospel. The good news of Christianity is that death is not the last word, but rather a transition to our true home with God. Death may seem invincible; after all, each of us will die, having little control over the details of when, where and how we will die. On the surface, death looks both inescapable and permanent. However, we should not be fooled by the external appearance of death. For death affects only our bodies. At the core of our being is our immaterial soul, the eternal spirit which we share with our Heavenly Father. Although we tend to identify ourselves with our earthly bodies, the Easter message reminds us that this is a mistake. Our physical bodies are nothing more than transient shadows and not our true selves. Easter is a celebration of our true selves, our eternal souls. The Bible tells us: “The Good News was promised long ago by God through His prophets… It is about His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ: as to His humanity, He was born a descendant of David; as to His divine holiness, He was shown with great power to be the Son of God by being raised from death.” (Romans 1:2-4).

Thank you, Seaford voters This letter is being written not as an obligation but as a privilege. It truly is a privilege for me to say thank you — thank you to everyone who supported me during my recent campaign for election to the office of council member for the City of Seaford. My appreciation is extended to those who demonstrated an interest in the democratic process of election and especially to the people who cast a ballot for me. A heartfelt thank you is given to my family and friends whose encouragement, extra efforts, support and prayers helped me through the process. It is an honor to be chosen to represent the residents of Seaford, and with pride in our community, I will do my best to serve with integrity and a spirit of cooperation. Leanne E. Phillips-Lowe Seaford
Not happy with election process I consider myself as a winner, not a loser, to have aroused the interest of 39 residents to register and vote, some of whom had never taken the time to realize how important it is to become involved in community affairs. I knew it would be a brand new experience to have two AfricanAmericans on the city council, but I’ve always been a challenger. My acquaintances would not think it to be strange for me to initiate issues. People need to know that everyone can become a part of problem solving since liberty and justice is for all. Instead of the community losing 39 votes, we were able to add to the community’s winnings of 168 voters. To really be considered as the big winner of the people’s choice, though, one would think that more than 20 percent of the city’s population would have had to participate in this year’s election. The suppressions of personal voices and opinions have caused many residents to feel that their vote would not make a difference. I was seeking representation to city council so as to help involve them to benefit the community as a whole, regardless of their race, color or creed. The necessary documents for proof of residency were made public in the local papers and endorsed by city manager, Dolores Slatcher, who stated that several documents would be acceptable as proof. However, many people were turned away and denied the opportunity to vote because the only proof of residency acceptable at the polling place was a driver’s license, which was not consistent with the newspaper article. These inconsistencies and discrepancies gave me good reason to wonder how many votes I lost. The need for helpers at the polling place was not made publicly known so I was not given the opportunity to have representation. I received a last minute call from city hall on Friday, March 2, to come pick up papers to inform me of the electioneering rules for the day of the election. The rules I received were not signed by anyone, had no letter heading and seemingly only applied to me. These rules were violated by someone for Mrs. Lowe’s benefit as pictures of her were posted all around city hall on the very day of the election. Injustice to one is injustice to all.

Letters
There were several incidents on the day of election that raised concerns. During the registration period, three individuals arrived together to register to vote, two of whom were allowed to register, while one had to go back to get a driver’s license in order to register. Another individual was denied the right to vote based on an outstanding balance on a utility bill. One voter was almost denied the right to vote because they were told that they had not registered, only to discover later, but after a challenge, that indeed they were registered. One gentleman, without proper identification, was allowed the right to vote because he had one of the documents needed in accordance with the articles in the paper. Finally, another lady had three documents with proof of residency but was denied the right to vote due to having no driver’s license or identification. Unbeknownst to the polling staff, this individual was without a license for medical reasons. These five individuals reported back to me in dismay. These are the kinds of actions that need to be changed. All the time, effort and money being spent to try to take a bite out of crime could be better spent by simply taking a bite out of injustice which leads to crime. My supporters along with myself fought a good fight in this campaigning process. We worked vigorously together as a team and kept the faith, but we did not finish the race. I want to thank everyone for the many hours of services rendered and I thank God for bringing us this far. It’s not to the swift or the mighty go the spoils, but to the ones who endure to the end. Ruth Matthews Seaford
National debt is outrageous There is a 800-pound gorilla in the room with all of us and no one it seems wants to acknowledge it is there. I’m talking about our national debt, which is approaching $9 trillion and costing us taxpayers $600 million a year in interest alone. How did we get ourselves in this fix? That’s pretty easy to answer. We have been going to the polls and ignoring the polls for so long now, our elected officials in Washington seem to believe that we have given them our blessing to continue their fiscal irresponsible ways. There is no sense for some of those in Congress to have served as long as they have, but as long as they go back to their states and districts and tell their constituents, “Vote me back in and I’ll get you something for nothing,” they get reelected. A good example of this way of staying in office can be shown by the constant reelection of Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia. And then there is our own lovable Sen. Biden, who once sent me a reply to a letter that I had written him, urging him to vote against a bill that was going to cost the federal government several million dollars that I felt was not necessary. I have wished hundreds of times since then that I had saved that letter, because in so many words I was told to go crawl back up under my rock and shut up because I didn’t know what I was talking about. Needless to say, I have had nothing but love for the man since then. Who was I to question his intelligence?
What the elected officials in Washington are counting on is that you’ll be sidetracked with all of the non-news about Anna Nicole Smith, Britney Spears, American Idol, endless investigations about implied wrong doings on Capitol Hill and on and on and on. You can count on the national news media to do their part. Then maybe you won’t see the 800-pound gorilla in the room because of all the smoke and mirrors. We here in Delaware, small as we are, need to set an example for the rest of the country and take a different road and then maybe, just maybe, we can finally get rid of that worthless bunch up in Washington and save this country from an economic holocaust that’s looming over the horizon. Next time, vote anyone out of office who already represents us in Washington, even if it’s your mama. Larry Calhoun

Castle gets a pat on the back Being a Seaford resident and concerned citizen, I would like to publicly send a big thank-you to Congressman M. Castle for taking time out of his busy schedule to call and express his concern about the Hearns Pond Dam. He not only directed me as to where to look for help, but also thanked me for keeping him in the “loop.” It shows his concern and caring of the people. With men of his caliber representing us, I have
every confidence that our pond will be brought up to the new safety standards approved by our state. I would also like to thank Sen. Tom Carper for his phone call and interest in finding a solution to our situation. He has contacted the Army Corps of Engineers to see what they could do to help solve the situation of the Hearns Pond Dam. They had not as yet gotten back to him as yet, but he assured me that when they do respond, he will get back to us. We are fortunate to have such a man working for our interests. I am sure he will leave no stone unturned to find a solution. Thank you Sen. Carper from the Hearns Pond residents and Seaford as well. Linda Meyers Hearn’s Pond resident Seaford

Laurel High holds blood drive Laurel High School held its first blood drive in four years on Wednesday, March 28, conducted by the Blood Bank of America. Director Susan Murray attended the LHS teacher orientation over the summer to sign up any teacher interested in hosting a drive. Teacher Michelle Keenan volunteered and placed two of her students, Veronica Behrns and Briar Gainer, in charge of the entire operation. The students “put in a lot of effort,” Keenan said, to pull everything together, including getting more than 70 blood donors to sign up. “We are hoping the community will go donate, where they can sign up to add their contribution to the high school’s drive numbers,” Keenan added.

Key Club increases activities By Mike McClure Last Saturday the Delmar High School Key Club was painting newsstand boxes “Delmar style” (orange and blue with Wildcat logos). The club, which is the kids’ version of the Kiwanis Club, has been active in a number of community activities this year. The club ran trick-or-treat night; sponsored a family at Christmas, and ran a concession stand at the Delmar Youth basketball games to raise money for scholarships for seniors. Key Club members also visited the local nursing home, helped with a Relay for Life team’s Christmas concert, and went to the Good Samaritan
Shop in Laurel and sorted and delivered food. “You’d be surprised, once they get out there how much they enjoy it. You just see the light bulb go on,” said Christy Parsons, a club advisor along with Michelle Niblett. “You see a whole other side when you take them to the nursing home.” Parsons said members got into the Christmas project, budgeting for the best buy and using their own money to buy gifts for a needy family. The organization, which has 75 members this year (up from the usual 45 to 50) also plan to go to the Beyond the Limits ropes course in Mardela for team building.

Ed Okonowicz, a noted area folklorist and writer, was there and although I had to leave early, it certainly appeared that Ed was a huge hit with the 25 or so people there. Ed had everyone’s attention in the first minute of his talk with his “I used to be a beekeeper story” to activate his audience. Ed’s belief is that “everyone tells stories” and before television, DVDs and such, storytelling was a big part of everyone’s life. Groups gathered together to talk at stores, community get-togethers and all social occasions and “we all felt good from those experiences.” Ed is returning for another session in October, and I intend to be there for a great no-charge night of “feel good” entertainment - you should be too.

Easter dinner isn’t Easter dinner without roast lamb In centuries past it was considered good luck to meet up with a lamb, especially at Easter time. It was believed that the devil could assume the form of all other animals but could never appear in the shape of a lamb because of its religious symbolism as a representation of Christ. The Paschal lamb was adopted as the main feature in the Pope’s Easter dinner and continues today as the most popular By Loretta Knorr food at Easter time in many parts of Europe.

Just because I imagine that I should not have been surprised by her huge truck pulling in front of my daughter “confession.” She works hard to please as she drives from her college dormitory her father and me, calling if she is going to her job, just because the resulting telephone call and trip to the emergency room to be late, consulting us in making plans, taking time to join in our activities. are nearly as real in my mind as if they A kinder, more considerate daughter, I had happened, does not guarantee that don’t think we could have. they won’t happen. In fact, I’m sure that That kind of worries me. any student of cause and effect could tell me that my worry about the truck driver’s inattentiveness will not affect it one way or the other. Still, I worry. And if I catch myself not worrying — if my son is flying somewhere, for example, and I suddenly realize that I have not pictured the plane catching fire and plummeting to the ground — I worry double. Who I am appeasing, I have no idea. But appease him, I do. And, like the man in Florida who buys a contraption to keep away elephants, then announces that there are no elephants in Florida because of his contraption, I say that my plan works. That plane has not crashed, that truck has remained sitting at the stop sign until it is clear to go, and so I still worry. So, when my daughter announced that we had to talk, I wondered whether I had failed in my worrying, or whether the foolishness of my plan suddenly caught up with it. I had loyally worried about all the things that worry mothers of daughters and here she was, on a warm spring day, asking me to sit down and listen. I was in the middle of lunch, a waffle left over from breakfast. I had just told her that one waffle was still on the counter, saved for her lunch. “OK,” she said. A pause. And then, “I have something I have to confess.” Suddenly, the waffle, despite the fact that it was covered with King syrup, was not so tasty as it had been. I put down my fork. “What have you done?” I asked. “I haven’t done anything,” she replied. “I just have to tell you something.” I waited. She took a deep breath. “I don’t want that waffle for lunch.”

The Answer is in the Bible Question: What is the second period of Bible history? Last time, we talked about the first period of Bible history known as the Patriarchal Age. This era, in which the Lord spoke to man through the fathers of the families, lasted from Creation until God gave His Law to Moses on Mount Sinai. This Law, as found in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, was to govern the Israelites until the death and resurrection of Jesus. Since God gave His Law to Moses, this period of Bible history is known as the Mosaic Age. At the foundation of the Law of Moses, we find the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:317). Now this period of Bible history, in which God’s people were subject to the law given to Moses, is known for many significant events within the history of God’s covenant people, the Israelites. During the Mosaic Age, the Israelites entered the Promised Land, were governed for a time by the Judges, then by kings. During this time, Israel knew many great prophets such as Elijah, Elisha, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, as well as a host of lesser-known prophets who sought to turn the hearts of the people back to God. Unfortunately, the nation of Israel during the Mosaic Age also knew what it was to be taken into captivity by her enemies as the Assyrians, and then the Babylonians took many of God’s people away from their homeland. The events that took place during the Mosaic Age take up most of the Old Testament and even carry over into the New. The reason I say that is because Jesus Christ lived under the Mosaic dispensation as well. In fact, He was the only person ever to keep the Law of Moses perfectly, without sin, and therefore qualifies as the supreme sacrifice for the sins we have committed against God when He went to the cross. When Jesus went to the cross, the Mosaic system of government for God’s people was abolished for Colossians 2:14 tells us that, ...having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.” This “certificate of debt” spoken of in the Scripture is the Law of Moses, which no one, save for Christ, could keep perfectly. The death and resurrection of Christ has ushered in the period of Bible history in which we now live, that which is known as the Christian Age. We will talk more about that next time. I would also like to take this opportunity to invite all in our community to our annual Spring Hymn Sing at the Seaford Church of Christ, located two miles north of the Seaford Wal-Mart on Highway 13. The date is Sunday, April 15th and the time will be 2:30 PM. There will be light refreshments served afterward. If you have Bible Questions you would like answered in this column, either call the Seaford Church of Christ at (302) 629-6206 or e-mail them to melakian1@dmv.com

Police Journal Arrest made in minister’s murder Delmar Police announce an arrest has been made in the beating death of a retired minister, who lived in the 400 block of E. East Street in Delmar. Police report that the Rev. Van T. Crawford, 76, was found by Delmar Police Sunday afternoon. When Crawford did not show up for services on Sunday, members of St. Stephen’s United Methodist Church asked Delmar Police to check on his welfare. Some time after 1:30 p.m. police officers found him dead. They suspect that someone entered his home Saturday or early Sunday and confronted him. Police have arrested Antonio E. Hernelsen, 40, of Dagsboro. Hernelsen occasionally did repairs to the retired minister’s home. He originally may have come to the home looking for more work. Hernelsen was charged with murder and robbery. Some money was missing from Crawford’s home. He was committed to Sussex Correctional Institution and is being held without bail. Delmar Police worked with the Wicomico County Bureau of Investigation, the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office and the Maryland State Police while investigating the homicide.
Rape suspect sought in Laurel On Sunday, April 1, at 4 p.m., the Laurel Police Department received a call in reference to a female victim who advised that she had just been raped at the Hollybrook Apartment and is currently en-route to Naticoke Memorial Hospital in Seaford. Members of the Laurel Police Department responded to hospital where they made contact with the victim who said that she was in her apartment when the suspect, who was a friend, entered.

Milford team hits home runs, slams Laurel Bulldogs, 11-1 By Pat Murphy Home runs by Johnny Michael, Matt Faulkner, and Jed Bell, along with Jordan Elliott’s 5 2/3 innings of three-hit ball gave the Milford Buccaneers a convincing 11-1 win over the visiting Laurel Bulldogs last Tuesday. David Bartee took the loss, surrendering 10 runs on 10 hits. Elliott gave up singles to Zack Bonniwell, Matt Parker, and Bartee. Brett Butler got the last out in relief in the slaughter rule shortened game. The Bulldogs’ only run was unearned. The Bucs jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the second inning. Jed Bell and Kyle Jackson reached by a hit batsman and a fielder’s choice. Left hand hitting Johnny Michael stepped up and, after one pitch, called coach John Nichols over for a conference. He hit the next pitch over the left center field fence for a three-run homer. Nichols said, “He thought he had missed a bunt sign.” The Bucs tacked on another run in the fourth and two more in the fifth when Faulkner hit a two-run shot with Theo Bowe on base. Bowe, who singled, was on base four times out of the leadoff spot. In the bottom of the sixth, the Bucs tacked on five more runs capped off by
Last Friday’s battle between Henlopen Conference rivals Laurel and Sussex Tech lived up to expectations, and then some. The two teams took a scoreless game into the 10th inning when the international tiebreaker, in which teams start the inning with a runner on second, took effect. The Ravens scored four in the top of the inning with the Bulldogs falling short in the bottom half of the inning despite plating three run in the 4-3 loss. Laurel’s Jenna Cahall hit a two-out double and advanced to third on a wild pitch but was stranded on base in the bottom of the first. In the bottom of the second, Alexis Oliphant drew a leadoff walk and Miranda O’Neal put down a sac bunt and reached first on an error before stealing second to put a pair of runners in scoring position. Raven pitcher Brooke Tull recorded three strikeouts to get out of the inning. Laurel senior pitcher Caitlin Dolby worked her third straight 1-2-3 inning in the top of the third. Tull also retired the side in order in the bottom of the inning. Sussex Tech’s Brittany Joseph picked up her team’s first hit with an infield single in the fourth. Joseph stole second base but was stranded there. In the top of the fifth, Tull and Rhonda Warrington each singled but Dolby kept the Ravens off the board. Tull notched three strikeouts in the bottom of the fifth.

Delmar High softball holds off Seaford Blue Jays, 3-2 By Mike McClure The Delmar varsity softball team used a fifth inning rally to take a 3-2 lead over Seaford before holding off the Blue Jays’ charge in the final inning to secure the win last Thursday in Delmar. The Wildcats threatened first with Lindsay Lloyd, Erin Tingle, and Danielle Disharoon each drawing two-out walks to load the bases in the bottom of the second inning. Seaford pitcher Heather Draper ended the threat with an inning ending strikeout. In the bottom of the third, Alison Bloodsworth reached first on error and Melanie Twilley walked. With Delmar’s Shannon Wilson showing bunt, the two runners stole second and third and advanced another base on a throwing error for a 1-0 Wildcat lead.

MORNING STAR
✳ APRIL 5 - 11, 2007
Delmar Sports Scene By Tommy Young Every year about this time, I have to get on the head coaches about sending in the results of their home games because when the fall sports season is over, there is a breakdown in high school sports coverage, both in the daily papers and television sports shows. It’s not like each team only has one person on each coaching staff, and it seems to me it could be very easy if each one of the assistants be responsible for this task. I am not only talking about the local coaches but coaches all over the Eastern Shore. In fact, Delmar scores were sent in on six of the seven contests their teams were involved in, but only the baseball games got much of a write up, but a final score is better than nothing. You don’t owe it to me, but you owe it to your players. They like to be recognized whether they win or lose. Here are the Wildcats’ results: the girls’ soccer team was shut out 3-0 by Dover last Tuesday, but bounced back on the strength of three goals by Katie McMahon to nose out Lake Forest 3-2. On Tuesday, Brittany Lyons shut out Woodbridge 10-0 in the first of three games the Wildcats played last week. Then on Thursday the Wildcats nosed out Seaford 3-2 in a game that went down to the final out of the game when a Seaford runner ran into Alison Bloodsworth while she was trying to field a ground ball and was called out for interference. However, it was a different story Saturday when the Delmar girls had to travel to Wilmington to play the number one team in the state, Caravel, in the second game of a double header as Caravel was taking on Cape Henlopen in the first game which they won 9-3. Then it was Delmar’s turn to face Caravel’s sophomore pitcher Cara Stecher, who just pitched the win over Cape Henlopen, and she promptly shut out the Wildcats 7-0 as the “Cats” could only come up with three hits by Allison Bloodsworth, Casey Shaver, and Shannon Wilson. I did not see the game, but the mother of one of the Delmar players from whom I got my game report told me she could see why they were the number one team in the state because they were really good. Now for the final Wildcat action of the week, several aspirin are needed for Coach Hearn as his baseball team managed to lose both games, one by one run and the other by two runs in entirely different ways. Up at Woodbridge on Tuesday, Delmar was leading 7-4 going into the final inning, and Woodbridge came up with four
runs to win the game 8-7. Then on Thursday the Wildcats almost pulled the comeback of the season as they were trailing Seaford 10-0 going into the last inning and came up with eight runs to make the final score Seaford 10- Delmar 8. ASSISTS AND ERRORS- Again I am ending the column on a sad note as a former Delmar High athlete, class of 1945, Leon Lockerman, passed away last week. Leon came from a family of outstanding Delmar athletes as his two older brothers, Bobby and Vaughn, both now deceased, were not only fine athletes, but also like the rest of their family were pillars of the Delmar community. Their father worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad and was a former mayor of Delmar. Bobby and Vaughn were threeletter men at Delmar High School. Bobby, after graduating from Salisbury Teachers College came back to coach and teach at Delmar High. After returning from the service in World War II, Vaughn was one of the better players on the Delmar Railroaders baseball teams of the 1940s and 50s. He also officiated high school football during this same time and ran a business while making his home in Delmar. Leon was like his oldest brother, Bobby, in size and both had poor eyesight, but made up for this handicap with intelligence and natural ability while pitching for the Delmar High baseball team his junior and senior years. After graduation, he went in the service and served his two years and then enrolled at the U of D where he met and married his wife. After graduation, he went to work of Delaware Trust Bank for which he worked for 38 years and retired as a vice president of the bank in Newark, Del where he and his wife had lived all their married life and raised their children who still live in that area. Leon was a member of the Newark Country Club where he participated in his two favorite hobbies, golf and Bridge. Through all this, he never lost his love for Delmar not only because he still had family here but also because he followed Delmar sports. For example, when the Delmar football team won the “Delaware Sports Team of the Year” in 2001, he was at the banquet at the DuPont County Club when the awards were handed out and also the following year when Coach Hearn won the “Coach of the Year” award. This soft spoken man will not only be remembered by the folks in Delmar he grew up with but only the Newark area where he was very active.

Blue Jays edge Wildcats, 10-8, despite late game rally By Mike McClure The Seaford varsity baseball team scored five runs in the top of the fifth inning of last Thursday’s game at Delmar to seemingly put the game away at 10-1, but the never-say-die Wildcats rallied for six runs in the bottom of the inning before falling short, 10-8. Seaford’s Joey Mitchell hit a two-run double in the top of the first inning to get the Blue Jays started. Tyler Ruark also reached on an error before Delmar starter Dylan Shupe recorded a strikeout to end the inning. Shupe reached first on an error, moved up on a sac bunt by Drew Merrill and a passed ball, and scored on a wild pitch to make it 2-1. Delmar had two more runners on base in the bottom of the second when Mark Timmons singled and Doug Causey doubled, but Seaford starter Paul Widerman got out of the inning unscathed. Seaford’s Tyler Joseph and Tyler Ruark each reached on a fielder’s choice and scored a run and Kyle Hearn reached on an error and scored on a hit by Kyle

Wheatley allowed two runs on seven hits and struck out six while issuing no walks in the complete game win.

Jeanmarie Ferber stepped up from her usual doubles spot to fight back and win at the number three singles slot 1-6, 6-4 and 7-6 in a tie breaker. “Amanda Cox (number three singles) was not available for this match,” head coach Bob Hastings said after the conclusion of the contest. “Jeanmarie Ferber (number two doubles team) did a nice job moving up to the number three singles position, after I juggled the lineup today. She came through under pressure.” The first doubles team of Maumi Oshima and Emily Nielson knocked off their opponents in straight sets also 6-4, 6-4. The second doubles team of Tish Thomas and Verde Gomez were defeated by their Spartans opponents 4-6, 4-6. Hastings also singled out Amber Matthews as an up and coming player on the squad at the exhibition level. “We are meeting the challenge now and the girls are finding out they can be competitive,” he concluded. The Jays record is now 2-1 overall and 2-1 in conference.

The contest, which includes nine classes, had a total of 3,154 entries from 46
states. Of the 504 state winners, 27 growers, or three from each class, were named national winners. The national winners represented 11 states. The average yield among all winners was 287 bushels per acre, significantly higher than the average yield of 217 bushels per acre for all entrants and the 2006 U.S. average of 149.1 bushels per acre. "The real lesson of NCYC is one of efficiency," said NCGA President Ken McCauley, a corn grower from White Cloud, Kan. Farmers are encouraged through the contest to utilize new, efficient production techniques. Agronomic data gleaned from the contest reveal the following:
• Average plant population for the 27 national winners was 40,456 plants per acre; harvest population averaged 38,801, compared to 31,141 for all entrants. • Winners applied an average of 254.5 pounds of nitrogen, 51.2 pounds of phosphorus and 70.3 pounds of potassium per acre. • 3.7 percent of winners applied nitrogen in the fall, 51.9 percent spring preplant, 59.3 percent at planting and 59.3 percent side-dressed. • Average commercial nitrogen use per bushel of yield was .8864 pounds for winners. • 18.7 percent of all entrants applied trace minerals, compared to 59 percent of the winners.
• 40.7 percent of winners applied manure, compared to only 8.1 percent of all entrants. The National Corn Yield Contest began in 1965 with 20 entries from three states. The highest overall yield was 218.9 bushels per acre, while the national yield average was in the mid-60 bushel per acre range. The winners were recognized in early March at the 2007 Commodity Classic the combined convention and trade show of NCGA, the American Soybean Association and the National Association of Wheat Growers - held in Tampa, Fla.

Strawberry festival to include a garden tour May 19 is going to be a very special day in Laurel. This spring Saturday will have the entire town of Laurel involved in one way or another. A committee led by Barbara Wise and her husband, Charles, and including other members of St. Philip’s Episcopal Church, located on South Central Avenue, has been meeting recently, making plans for the town’s first huge Strawberry Festival Deluxe. The festival will have everything strawberry imaginable. In addition, members of the Laurel Garden Club are planning a garden tour of 19 gardens in the Laurel area. This group is coordinating the garden tour and promises patrons an opportunity to view gardens on a par with those created and maintained by professional gardeners in more metropolitan areas. Many area churches have sponsored strawberry festivals in the past. But the May 19 event at St. Philip’s is one that will make the entire town and area communities aware of just what strawberry festivals are all about. The special events will begin at 8 a.m. with a light breakfast at St. Philip’s, featuring sweet rolls, scrapple sandwiches and sausage biscuits. Vendors will be set up in the grassy area in front of the educational building along South Central Avenue, and inside the large building. Crafters will offer quality merchandise and there will be flea market items and a wide variety of plants for sale. Also for sale will be a quilt, hand-quilted by members of the Delmarvalous Quilters Quilt Guild, and baked goods made by members of St. Philip’s. Beginning at 11 a.m., the Everything Strawberry lunch will get under way. Dot Dolby and her committee will be offering freshly made chicken salad and hot dogs (no strawberries included), as well as strawberry shortcake, chocolate-covered strawberries, strawberry ice cream, strawberry preserves, fresh strawberries, strawberry pie and strawberry cake. Trust me, friends. If it can be made with strawberries, it will be available on May 19 at St. Philip’s. The Laurel Garden Club will be offering advance ticket sales beginning on Monday, April 23, at St. Philip’s Parish House from 10 a.m. until noon. Tickets will cost $8 in advance and $10 the day of the tour. Questions should be directed to Jan Harrington, 875-3269 or Shirley Skinner, 629-9378. Gardens open for viewing will include those of Kathy Tissian, Stephen Callaway, George and Penny Denney, Everett and Joan Hart, Bill and Debbie Chandler, Linda Janosik Christophel, Lori and Barry Morrison, Allan Huff and Patricia Delandre, Jan Harrington, Connie Whaley, Nancy Smith, Pat Malinchak, Cindy Marvel and Carl and Carol Dorsey. The Laurel Historical Society will sponsor tours of Old Christ Church and the Studley House. Hopefully, the town will declare May 19 as Laurel Pride in Bloom Day. Hanging baskets of flowers in the Market Street Park will encourage residents to plant a few flowers on their properties. Joining Barbara Wise on the St. Philip’s committee are Terry and Bill Trujillo, Marvin and Geraldine Taylor, David

Virginia ‘Mike’ Barton and Janice Kee, Jeff Dolby, Kenny Spicer, the Women of St. Philip’s, Lee Clark and Nancy Schlicker. My husband, Chuck, and I are also on the committee. Right now the committees are optimistic and can foresee this as being an annual event for the town of Laurel. As many know, Laurel was once the strawberry capital of Delaware. Marvil Packing Company filled hundreds of orders of strawberries from local growers. Thousands of crates of berries left town via horse and buggy and railroad cars. In addition, many farmers in the area trucked strawberries to city markets each day during the berry season. Why not circle May 19 on your social calendar right now? Be a part of this special day that will bring visitors to Laurel. Join the fun. Show your pride in our Laurel. Give visitors an opportunity to see how a community can work together, sharing the workload, making new friends, and enjoying a bowl of fresh strawberries. May 19. Eat those berries and enjoy the gardens of your neighbors. Be a part of what could become a Sussex tradition!

Cannon stitches treasures for Cinco de Mayo When the Nanticoke Health Services Auxiliary hosted the first Dinner/Auction in 1986 the lady in charge was Mrs. Charlotte Cannon of Bridgeville. For the past 21 years, Mrs. Cannon has been an active member of the Dinner/Auction committee and for nearly two decades Charlotte has crafted needlepoint masterpieces just for this special event. Year after year supporters bid fearlessly to own one of Charlotte's items. Whether it is a pillow, footstool, end tables or a stunning treasure chest she transforms a needlepoint canvas into a work of art. "For nearly most of my life I've enjoyed needlepoint and I look forward to creating something special for the dinner/auction. I'm already working on next year's donation," says Cannon. Charlotte has given her time to Nanticoke in a variety of roles, most notably as
a member of Nanticoke's Board of Directors, and currently volunteers in the LookIn Glass Shoppe and at LifeCare at Lofland Park. In 2005, she was the recipient of the Nanticoke's Healthcare for Leadership Founders Award for her lifetime commitment to Nanticoke Health Services. Mrs. Cannon's handcrafted creations will be up for bid at the May 5 Dinner/Auction "Cinco De Mayo" being held at the Seaford Golf & Country Club. The evening will consist of live, silent, and Chinese auctions. Early donations to the auction also include hand-painted watercolors by a local artist, a Delaware 5-digit license plate, airline miles, lawn care package, Wine of the Month, catered dinner by Nanticoke's executive chef and several golf packages.

Delaware’s 2006 report on nutrient management Governor Minner and the 144th Delaware General Assembly recently received the 2006 Annual Report on Nutrient Management for the State of Delaware. A few program accomplishments follow: • 99% or 453,291 acres of Delaware cropland has been enrolled or mandated into nutrient management planning. • 97,649 acres of nutrient management plans were developed in 2006 by private and public consultants. • Sixty different continuing education events were held for 1,955 nutrient management certification holders. • 77,724 tons of excess poultry litter were relocated for alternative use and land application during 2006.
• Since 2001, 398,267 tons of excess poultry litter have been relocated. The Delaware Nutrient Management Law was passed in 1999 as a water quality measure to reduce nutrient runoff from agriculture and other sources of manure and commercial based fertilizers. Commission Chairman and Bridgeville farmer, Bill Vanderwende said, "The results and general acceptance of the program are a success. Farmers, program staff, nutrient consultants, and other agribusinesses should be commended." A complete copy of the report can be found at: www.state.de.us/deptagri/nutrients/index.shtml or by calling 302698-4500.

Health Bed rest can be hazardous to your health By Yvonne Lyles, M.D What do bed-ridden patients and astronauts have in common? They both get weaker from not using their anti-gravity muscles. Remember pictures of early astronauts stumbling when they first got out of the space capsule? Weightlessness had weakened their leg muscles. The same thing happens to healthy people who take to bed because of illness….they may even have difficulty walking after a week or so. It's ironic that when you go to the hospital, you're assigned to a bed. If you're sick enough, you may have no choice but to stay there, but staying in bed for prolonged periods of time can make you sicker. Besides leg muscles getting weaker from lack of use, the heart muscle also gets weaker from lack of use, resulting in cardiovascular deconditioning. It can happen surprisingly fast. Besides getting weaker, prolonged bed rest can lead to a number of other problems. The first one many people think of is blood clots, especially in the legs. This is called "Deep Venous Thrombophlebitis" (DVT) and can happen from sitting for a long time, such as with a long trip. Normally, the pumping action of leg muscles
keeps blood circulating, but if you sit or lie still too long, blood tends to pool in your legs from the pull of gravity, so circulation becomes sluggish and prone to clot. Nowadays, when patients are in the hospital and confined to bed for prolonged periods, they often are given small shots of blood thinners, such as heparin, to prevent blood clots. Blood clots are especially common following major surgery, especially orthopedic or abdominal, because release of tissue factors from surgery or bone marrow also makes blood more likely to clot. Of course, heparin as a preventive measure should be avoided if there are problems with bleeding or plans to go to surgery. Special sequential pressure stockings which massage the lower legs are also used to prevent blood clots. Blood clots in the legs can be deadly. A condition called "Pulmonary Embolism" (PE) occurs when a piece of clot breaks off from the veins in the legs and goes up into the lungs, cutting off blood flow and oxygen delivery with symptoms of shortness of breath and chest pain. Sometimes it can be fatal. Another common problem that occurs with prolonged bed rest is bedsores, also

It's ironic that when you go to the hospital, you're assigned to a bed. If you're sick enough, you may have no choice but to stay there, but staying in bed for prolonged periods of time can make you sicker known as decubitus ulcers or pressure sores. These are especially common in people with inadequate nutrition, in thin people with bony prominences, and in obese people who have trouble moving around in bed. Eggcrate mattresses can help keep pressure from being focused on one spot to avoid skin breakdown. Common sites for decubitus ulcers are over the sacrum (near the tailbone) and the lateral hips where there's skin close to bone, and on the heels when someone is continually on his back. Just a little redness of the skin in these areas can indicate the beginnings of a decubitus ulcer. The pressure from lying in one position squeezes out blood flow from the area, so the skin and underlying tissue can't stay healthy. Frequent turning in bed, and barrier creams to protect the skin help prevent
pressure sores. Sometimes heel protectors to cushion the heels are used. It's also important not to drag someone across the sheets, since "sheering" can be hard on the skin too. Other complications of bed rest may not be as commonly known. Pneumonia is a common development in people who stay in bed for prolonged periods. When you're lying down, your belly pushes up on your chest, making it harder to take in a deep breath. Then the lower parts of the lungs may collapse (called atelectasis), collect mucus, and be a good breeding ground for bacteria, which causes pneumonia. A device called an Incentive Spirometer, which encourages deep breathing by showing you how much you can inhale, is used to prevent this collapse of the lower lungs, especially in patients with abdominal pain after surgery. Lying down flat on your back also makes one more prone to aspiration, which is inhaling saliva or even stomach contents into the lungs, another cause of pneumonia. It helps to keep the head of the bed elevated, and not to lay flat right after eating, to keep stomach contents from going up the esophagus where they can be inhaled.

La Red Health Center serves community
Cheryl Kokkinos (left) of La Red Health Care Center with Soroptomist International of Seaford Club member Darlene Steele.
Cheryl Kokkinos, certified nurse midwife of La Red Health Center, spoke to the Soroptomist International of Seaford Club at a March 21 meeting. La Red, Spanish for "the network," works in collaboration with other local and state health care facilities and physicians to serve Sussex County. Located in Georgetown, La Red currently employees 25 health care workers, but recognizes the need for this number to grow. La Red received over 7,000 patient visits last year. Projected visits for 2007 are in excess of 16,000.
While its name is of Spanish derivation, La Red serves more than just the Hispanic community; it serves anyone who is uninsured or inadequately insured. "We work on a sliding scale fee. Patients bring in a pay stub and we figure out how much they can pay," Kokkinos said. Services include pre- and post-natal care, pediatrics, adolescent programs, adult medicine and elder care. La Red also provides transportation to other facilities in Delaware and interpretation when needed. The health center is open six days a week.

Fact: The longer a child remains overweight, the more likely he is to stay that way. Fact: Eating patterns are established early in life. Fact: Being overweight can lead to health problems such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and hypertension. Fact: Parents can to a great extent control their children’s access to food and manage what they eat. You can gradually transform your kitchen by limiting or phasing out purchases of cookies, candy, chips and other high calorie junk food in favor of more nutritious options. Good snack choices include whole grain pretzels and crackers, fresh fruit and vegetables, frozen yogurt, sugar-free jell-o and popsicles, and light popcorn. Make the most of mealtime.

Help to promote Happy, Healthy Childhoods and Futures working hard or a job well done, do so with hugs, praise, stickers or movie tickets, rather than ice cream or fast food. Be sure to affirm your children for who they are rather than focusing on how they look. Casual references to a child’s weight can have lifelong impact on body image and self-esteem. Children need to hear what you like about them. Increase the level of family activity. It doesn’t have to be strenuous. Encourage anything that gets the child up and moving, from walking and cycling to flying a kite. When parents participate, you are not only role modeling, you’re teaching children that there is more to leisure time than video games, instant messaging and television.

Staying in bed also makes people prone to constipation, since exercise is a natural laxative. The bladder doesn't empty as well when you're flat on your back, so residual urine makes bladder infections more common. And not bearing weight on your bones can lead to osteoporosis as well. Our list wouldn't be complete without mentioning the social isolation and subsequent depression associated with bed rest, which can decrease appetite and motivation to get well. To summarize, bed rest, once thought of as treatment for many illnesses, can actually give you a lot of new problems. For this reason, it's no longer recommended for people to go to bed as often as in the past. For example, it's better for people with back strain to try to keep moving, unless there's serious nerve injury as well. It's now common practice to try to get people up out of bed as soon as possible after surgery. For people who've had to be at bed rest for

an injury, infection, stroke or heart disease, rehabilitation may be necessary to regain strength lost simply from being bedridden. Physical therapy is very helpful in this regard. Gradually increasing exercise can often be done on your own, but if you've gotten a lot weaker, or have specific trouble spots, a therapist can guide you to faster recovery. Medicare and most insurance companies have recognized that a course of illness is not always over by the time you're ready to leave the hospital--you may need to recover your strength and stamina. They will often pay for Short Term Rehabilitation, usually done in a nursing home setting, or by Home Health agencies to help you recover your prior level of functioning. -Dr. Lyles is a board certified internist and fellowship-trained geriatrician.

Delmar uses incentives to boost scores on state tests By Donna Dukes-Huston Students across Delaware recently finished six days of state testing in math, reading and writing. To encourage all students to do their best, the administration and staff of Delmar Middle and Senior High School held a series of incentive programs. In the middle school, students who attended all the test sessions, who gave 100percent effort on the test and who had good behavior were eligible to win prizes. The first round of prizes was announced at the end of the testing section. Prizes included board and DVD games, lava lamps and Delmar gear, such as towels and Tshirts. At the end of testing, six grand prizes were awarded. Two students from each grade received IPods — orange and blue, of course. While students know that low scores may lead to retention and/or mandatory summer school, all middle schoolers were further motivated by this incentive program, teachers said. “Younger students look for tangible rewards like allowance,” said Becky Neubert, middle school vice principal. Each fall, middle school students take part in a fund-raising project to pay for the incentive program. Money from the fundraiser also pays for new clubs, field trips and other opportunities for the students. Delmar High offers a different type of incentive program to ninth and tenth graders. Students who receive 3s in both reading and writing are exempt from final
exams in English. (Honors students must receive 4s.) Ninth and tenth graders can also qualify to be exempt from math exams. “We have so many different levels of students with different needs,” Neubert said. “Our goals must be different for each level.” All Delmar Middle and High School students who attended all test sessions and who had good behavior were also eligible to attend a faculty vs. students basketball game last Thursday. Science teacher Chuck Backora reprised his role as girls’ basketball coach, this time leading the faculty women. Chuckie’s Angels soundly defeated the Lady Wildcats, led by currents girls’ coach Shawn Larrimore. The Lady Cats, however, questioned the accuracy of paraprofessional Michelle “Mabel” Niblett’s scorekeeping The boys’ team is also investigating scorekeeping as they suffered a loss against the male faculty. The boys faced off against their own coach, Garland Hayward. High school vice principal Diane Coy and former physical education teacher Mel Householder were among the referees for these games. Under the direction of intensive learning center teacher Karen Lewis, members of the school’s Step Club gave their debut performance. “It was a great stress reliever,” Neubert said. “It showed the kids that testing should be taken seriously but it’s OK to have fun, too.”
My family accuses me of frequent trips over to the Food Lion just to pick up news for this column. That’s not quite true, but it does happen now and then. Last Saturday, I ran into Donna Adams here from her beach home to visit her dad, Walt Dorman. I hadn’t seen her for a couple of years, so we held up traffic in one of the aisles for awhile had a nice chat. It’s so nice, now and then, to get reacquainted with some former Laurelites. The pleasure of his company, little Rider Wheatley Lewis, was enjoyed by his grandparents, Billie Jane and Robert Wheatley, for a week recently. Rider, who lives in Chicago with his parents, David and Celeste Lewis, is no stranger to this area. He visits here often so that this little 2-year old must have racked up many frequent flyer miles. He, of course, is always accompanied by parents or grandparents — no solo flights yet! Nikki Adams, a new graduate of the Art Institute of Philadelphia, is spending her summer here with her parents, Marc and Bettyann Adams, at their home on County Seat Highway. Following this respite she will travel to Alaska to check out some schools there, although she has been accepted at Smith College to further her education. On Sunday evening she was hosted to a surprise celebration party at home, given by her parents and attended by family members, friends and neighbors. The annual Kiwanis sunrise service Easter Sunday will be at 7 a.m. in St. Stephens Cemetery on State Street.
player, Everett Hart. On April 4 they partook of lunch at Applebee’s, followed by a fashion show at Bon-Worth in Rehoboth. On April 14, they will have their monthly breakfast at the Dutch Inn. The members celebrating April birthdays are: Sandy Littleton, Nancy Slatcher, Marilyn Lagowski and Debbie Phillips (my very, reliable and faithful mail “gal.”) For all of you fresh-air fiends and bike riders there will be a nice social outing on May 5 as the Trap Pond Partners will feature their fourth annual “Get in Gear” family bike rally. For details call Betty Grossman at 875-5088 or visit the Web site www.trappondpartners.com. Members of the Laurel Saddle Friends enjoyed great fun at “A Casual Country Affair,” a dinner-dance-auction at the state fair grounds on March 23. We extend sincere sympathy to the Jones families and the Layfield family in the death of their sister, Charlotte Jones Gould, on March 9 in Fredericksburg, Va. Charlotte is formerly of Laurel and graduated from Laurel High School. We express sympathy also to the family and friends of John J. Hastings and William J. LeCates and Mary Windsor. We continue with prayers for those who are ill: John McGlaughlin, Jean Henry, Ralph Baker, Kelly Griffith, John Sturgis, Marie Adams, Richard Cordrey, Lily Brittingham, Steve Trivits, Hattie Puckham and Terry Layton.
A very glowing report was given to me this week concerning the successful Vera Bradley Bingo party on March 27. From all reports it was a high success with a capacity crowd and lovely Vera Bradley prizes for many lucky winners — V.B. seems to be all the rage this year. For a conclusion to the evening there was a very hefty 50-50 won by a Laurel lady. The Lioness are having a good start to the year.
A very happy birthday wish to Donna Ward, with love from Mom and Dad. On April Fool’s Day, Richard Whaley celebrated a birthday and I do hope that no one played any really bad jokes on him. Wishes also go to: Norman Derrickson on April 4; Robert Henderson and Marge Starr, April 8; Maurice Duncan and Janet Messick, April 9; Emma Bennett and Virginia Pennington, April 10; Claire Andress and Marie White, April 11; Walter Dorman, Leatrice Hearn and Robert Steele, April 12.

If there is intelligence in our Congress, where did it go? What happened to the “lessons learned from the Viet Nam War, professed by most every U.S. legislator, disappear to? The politicians led us into this “war on terrorism.” There was a modicum of reasonable causes that led to this bogged down mess we are calling a war on terrorism. Did nobody learn the lesson from the fruitless actions of the French, and later the Americans, in that tiny nation in Southeast Asia? The lesson that proved you cannot win military battles with a committee of politicians, most not having served in the military? You need to let the battlefield generals wage the war to effectively gain victory. Where do the politicians get the idea that they can, year after year, hold up the budgetary process that funds our military just so that they can attach billions of dollars of “Pork Barrel Funds,” as is the case in the current supplementary military funding bill that is needed today, not tomorrow? How in the world can our legislators be so crass as to hold up funds needed to support the troops in the field who our President sent there, and they, the Congress, exceeded to his authority to do so? Our soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen and coast guard men and women are being wounded, and killed, because we are not giving the battlefield commanders what is needed to end our participation in this event that is sapping the strength of our country. The American Legion, and every other veteran’s service organization, I know and belong to, has constantly sought to assure: • that our military men and women have the equipment and training necessary for the fight for worldwide freedom. • that they are compensated properly for the 24/7 job they perform at peace and in harms way. • that they are properly provided with the best of medical care after we put them in harms way and they are wounded and maimed by enemy fire. I can honestly say at this time that I am ashamed of our legislators who are presenting the dogma of “war losing” policies. We will lose: If this country can not come to the understanding that you must support those military sent to protect freedom by allowing our trained military leaders to do the job they have been trained to do.

service do not have the ability to run a war from their comfortable offices in Washington DC and by committee. We a have a duty, and requirement, to adequately provide the proper medical treatment for all who serve our country, in time of war, and in time of peace. The Department of Delaware stands behind our National Commander Paul A. Morin as he criticized an amendment narrowly passed by the U.S. Senate that would add a timeline of withdrawal to an Iraq spending bill. “You don’t have to be a military strategist to understand the advantage a withdrawal date gives to the enemy,” Morin said. “First the House passed a blueprint for disaster and now the Senate passes a recipe for surrender.” Morin called on the president to honor his promise to veto legislation that includes timetables to withdraw from Iraq. “The American Legion supports the troops. You cannot support the troops if you want them to cut and run. Congress authorized Operation Iraqi Freedom, now it needs to let the troops finish the job.” Morin pointed out that Congress cut off funding in Vietnam, even though the troops won every military battle. “Let’s not repeat the mistakes of the past. The American people need to support the troops and their commander in chief, even if Congress won’t.” The Senate voted 50-48 for the provision containing the withdraw requirement, which was supported by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-NV. Reid did not seem willing to compromise with the White House, saying that he is “not anxious to strip anything out of the bill.” Morin added that the United States has only one commander in chief. “The American people did not elect 535 legislators to be armchair generals. It is outrageous that Congress would leave our troops on the battlefield without the funding that they need. It’s time for the president to veto this surrender bill and for Congress to pass a serious war-funding bill, which would provide the money without the micro-management. I call on my fellow Legionnaires to let their senators and representatives know where we stand on this war.” Donald E. WHite, Jr. Department of Delaware American Legion

The moon, and its relative distance to the Earth, affects tides on a monthly basis. When the moon is farthest from the Earth (apogee), tides of decreased range or currents of decreased speed occur. When the moon is closest to the Earth (perigee), the occurrence of increased range or currents of speed is more prevalent.
