Carnival calls people home to Sharptown By Lynn R. Parks It’s all about roots. At least that’s what Gary Ellis, standing in a line of people intent on getting a soft-shelled crab sandwich, said. His roots in Sharptown, Md., where he grew up, are what call him from his home in Wilmington to the Sharptown Carnival every year. “I’ve come to this carnival every year since I was old enough to come,” said Ellis, 70. Jim Marvel, Lewes, has also been coming to the festival since he was a child. But for him, it’s all about the food. “I have been here every year for 40some years,” said the Seaford native, talking around an oyster sandwich. “These oyster sandwiches are the best. They have good flavor and the fritters are big — they fill up the bread.” Regardless of their size, they still aren’t enough to satisfy his appetite. In

And Marvel was already looking forward to a trip to the French fry stand. “It’s a long drive from Lewes to Sharptown,” Marvel smiled. “You work up quite an appetite.” The Sharptown Carnival opened Thursday for its 80th annual run.

Operated by the Sharptown Volunteer Fire Department as a fund-raiser, the carnival will run until Aug. 26, open every evening except Sundays.

Laurel High earns ‘superior’ rating School’s reading scores on state tests up 14 points, math scores up 15 points By Lynn R. Parks Teachers and administrators at Laurel High School are very pleased with the the latest round of state tests. With improvements in scores in all three areas tested, the school has been rated “superior” under the Delaware State Testing Program. “We are all delighted with the high school,” said Karen Hughes, the district’s No Child Left Behind coordinator. “We have done a lot of work there with the staff and it’s paying off. We are delighted with everything the staff has accomplished.” Reading scores at the high school were up 14 points, from 505 to 519 with 71 percent of the school’s students meeting the state standard. Of the 19 districts in the state, Laurel’s scores were ninth highest. Math scores were up even more, 15 points from 515 to 530; 54 percent of the student body met the state standard. The district’s ranking in 10th-grade math was 12th out of 19. Writing scores were up .5 points, from 7.6 to 8.1. Just over 73 percent of the students met the state standard and the district was ranked 10th out of 19. Ratings, like the Laurel High “superior,” are based on improvement over last year’s scores. Seaford High School did not fare so well. While the school saw slight gains in

math scores (1 point), writing and reading scores were down slightly (.3 points in writing, 2 points in reading.) Sixty percent of its students met the standard in reading, 68.7 percent in writing and 39 percent in math. The school is rated as “academic progress, under school improvement,” which means that it has two years to improve its scores before sanctions under the No Child Left Behind program kick in. “Last year, we were under ‘academic review,’” said Steve Garner, supervisor of assessment, accountability and technology. “We didn’t meet all the state targets, so now we have two years to show improvement. We need to take a look at our curriculum and instruction to make sure they are matched with our students’ abilities.” On a positive note in the Seaford School District, all four of its elementary schools were rated superior. Scores were up across the board in all subjects except reading, which declined by just one point. Just over 50 percent of the third graders met the writing standard; 84 percent met the reading standard and 86 percent met the math standard. In the fifth grade, 88 percent of Seaford’s students met the reading standard, 77 percent met the math standard and 48.8 percent met the writing standard. The middle school, which was placed on “academic progress, under school im-

provement” last year, was able to meet the ward the top,” Garner said. “That’s what state targets through “safe harbor,” a we strive for. But we are pleased with the process that permits a school that shows movement in a positive direction at the improvement but not in all areas to meet middle school.” state requirements.

Woodbridge administrator pleased with scores, but work remains, he adds same as they did last year. In the three testing areas, the fifth graders ranked 14th out of 15 districts in writing and math and 15th out of 15 in reading. Third graders were 15th out of 15 districts in reading and writing and 14th out of 15 in math. In the Woodbridge School District, assistant superintendent Heath Chasinov said that administrators and teachers were pleased with improved scores on all grade levels and in nearly all subjects. Only the fifth-grade reading scores were down from last year’s, and those just by one point. “We saw incredible improvement in the percentage of students who are meeting the standard,” he said. Woodbridge Elementary School was rated superior and the middle school was rated commendable. The high school was placed on “academic progress, under school improvement” last year. With the improvements that its students showed this year, the school could get off that rating after next year’s tests, Chasinov said. Like the Seaford School District, however, rankings of Woodbridge’s schools put them at or near the bottom of the list: 19th out of 19 in writing for the high school, 18th out of 19 in math for the high school, 14 out of 16 in eighth-grade writing, 14th out of 15 in fifth-grade reading. “A few years ago, we were last in a greater

We are showing steady growth every year.” Charity Phillips, in charge of the state testing program in the Delmar School District, is on vacation this week and was unavailable for comment. Delmar students’ scores were up across the board, in all three subjects in the eighth grade and in the 10th grade. In the 10th grade, the district is ranked fifth out of 19 districts in reading, third out of 19 in writing and seventh out of 19 in math. In the 8th grade, the district is fourth out of 16 districts in reading, second out of 16 in writing and seventh out of 16 in math.

Police officer recognized for valor during standoff By Tony E. Windsor A Laurel police officer was honored Monday evening during the Laurel Town Council workshop meeting for his role in helping to save a local woman during an incident involving a man with a high-powered rifle. Laurel Police Chief Michael “Jamie” Wilson presented Patrolman 1st Class Adam Coleman with the Medal of Valor for his efforts while being dispatched to a complaint of shots being fired on Beaver Dam Branch Road on Wednesday, May 31. According to Wilson, at about 5:40 a.m. Coleman received a call regarding shots at a residence on Arvey Road, near Laurel. He was told that an unknown subject in a red truck had shot at a residence in that area “over 100 times.” While on his way to that complaint he was notified that the same man was now at another location, shooting at a residence on Beaver Dam Branch Road. Arriving at the scene, Coleman discovered the man with the red truck in possession of a highpowered .223 caliber rifle. A short distance from the man was a vehicle stopped in the middle of the roadway. The vehicle was operated by Esther Foskey, who was delivering newspapers that

morning. Immediately, Coleman made his way to Foskey and helped her to escape the area. Once Foskey was out of danger, Coleman called out to the man, Anthony J. Windels, of Omaha, Neb. Coleman called the Sussex Communications Center and notified them that he was behind cover but that Windels was pointing the rifle at him. Wilson said that Coleman began talking to Windels in an effort to calm him down. At about 6 a.m., a state police unit arrived and assisted Coleman in attempting to calm Windels. Despite their efforts, Windels shot and killed himself at the scene. Wilson said that the investigation revealed that during the shooting incidents, Windels fired several hundred rounds at the two locations. He was found in possession of the .223-caliber rifle and a .45-caliber and a .40-caliber handgun. “For 20 minutes, PFC Coleman, who was all alone, risked his life for the safety of others, engaging in a stand-off with a heavily armed subject,” Wilson said. “If not for the actions of PFC Coleman this situation would have been a lot worse.” He said that later in the day on

May 31, Esther Foskey called the Laurel Police Department to thank Coleman for his actions. “She said that the armed man pointed the rifle directly at her and she feared for her life,” Wilson said. “Ms. Foskey said that if PFC Coleman had not arrived when he did, the gunman would have fired at her.” In making the Medal of Honor presentation to Coleman, Wilson said the officer demonstrated true valor. “If you look up the word valor in the dictionary, it is defined as courage and boldness; bravery and strength. I cannot think of any other words more fitting to describe PFC Coleman’s actions on the morning of May 31, 2006,” he said. Coleman is the first Laurel Police Officer to receive the Medal of Valor. At the ceremony, Wilson pledged to make sure that officers and citizens who exhibit exemplary performance in service to the people of Laurel are recognized for their efforts. “For too long, citizens from our town and police officers from our department have done heroic deeds that have gone unnoticed. As the new police chief, that is one thing I am going to change,” Wilson said. Wilson also recognized a Laurel businessman who he said has

Council discusses sale of land along Broad Creek By Tony E. Windsor The potential sale of green space in the town of Laurel raised a few questions at a recent town council workshop meeting. During the Monday, Aug. 7, workshop, Mayor John Shwed presented the town’s idea of selling the land that for a number of years has been used as a vendor and carnival location for the annual Fourth of July celebration. The 4.5-acre parcel is located along Broad Creek, between Poplar Street and Central Avenue. The town has advertised its intentions in local media over the past few weeks and scheduled discussion of the sale at the recent council workshop. Shwed said there will also be a formal public hearing to discuss the land sale at the Aug. 22 regular council meeting. The mayor said that selling the land to a commercial developer would allow the property to be used for economic development and better benefit the town than simply sitting idle. He said there would be stipulations placed on the sale of the land to mandate that whatever is built on the property will fit in the architectural scheme promoted in the town’s comprehensive land-use plan. In addition, the state requires a 30-foot easement allowed along Broad Creek to allow the town to continue it already developed east to west greenway corridor. Laurel resident Dave Sully asked whether property owners in the areas surrounding the site will have the first opportunity to bid on the property. Shwed said that people who own property contiguous to the site will have an opportunity to bid on the property. He added that the town’s attorney may have to decide whether properties separated by the Broad Creek are considered contiguous. Councilman Chris Calio said that he believes they would be. “Roads, waterways and sidewalks would prove no impediment to the issue of contiguous,” he said. “If that were the case, we would never have the opportunity to annex out across US 13.” Ellie Shackle, Laurel, questioned whether the town should be selling open land. “All around Laurel we are seeing green space being developed,” she said. “It is nice that we can see deer in Laurel; I know this may be a nuisance to some people, but we are destroying the habitat of our wildlife. Is it really necessary to do this? We are losing trees all for the sake of economic development. A recent study has shown that for every dollar a municipality gains in taxes from development, it costs the town $1.24 in needed services such as fire and police and the building of infrastructure. I see us in a rush to do all this development and we end up destroying the beauty of our town.” Shackle added the town has empty shops in its downtown area and she feels it would be more productive to revitalize some of the existing buildings before building new storefronts in that same area. Frank Calio, Laurel, Delaware Election Commissioner and a former Laurel Councilman, asked the council if it is able to sell the property for less than its appraised value should a developer need to spend

money to prepare the land for development. “For example, this property is in a flood plain and may require a lot of fill dirt,” he said. “If a developer asked the council to sell the land at a reduced rate, because it may cost quite a bit to bring in dirt, does the council have the ability to do that?” Shwed said the town’s ordinance dictates that the town accept nothing less than the appraised value when selling surplus land. This particular piece of property has been appraised at $483,000. “This is an ordinance adopted by the council, so the council certainly has the ability to change that stipulation,” Shwed added. “However, I am not inclined to move away from selling at less than the appraised value. I believe the intention of the ordinance is to get as much for the property as possible.” Councilman Don Phillips said he feels the question at hand is simple. “We either let that property sit there and be used once a year for the Fourth of July, or we take the $500,000 that it is valued at and invest it to benefit the taxpayers. This piece of property has the potential to provide 20 to 30 new jobs in Laurel. Sitting like it is now that property does not provide one job. It is a question of how we as a town use our assets. That property is an asset and it is best used by selling and allowing it to be commercially developed. I am a steward of this town’s assets and as such, I plan to support the sale of this property.” Laurel resident Dave Herrick asked why the council is moving so fast toward selling the property. “We are being told that Laurel is growing and will be a beautiful place in the coming years,” he said. “Given that forecast, why not wait a few years to take advantage of higher property values?” Phillips said he feels the need to “put the property to work right now” and not take risks with future property values. Shwed said it is important to realize that the town already has a “balance” of green space. “We have the area along the Broad Creek, we also have the Laurel River Park and Janosik Park.,” he said. “Plus, by having new commercial businesses in that downtown area, it will help stimulate revitalization in some of those empty storefronts in downtown Laurel.” He said that the town’s annual July 4th celebration will go on, even if the property is sold. “Anyone who visits the annual Apple-Scrapple celebration in Bridgeville each year sees that they have no large open space, they largely use streets throughout the town,” he said. “We have made the Laurel Chamber of Commerce aware of our plans and the potential sale of the property and they have already begun a search for another site for the Fourth of July celebration. One consideration is the open space around the Laurel High School. We have a lot of green space in Laurel; we will just have to wait to see where our discussions lead us.” The town will hold a public hearing to discuss the sale of the 4.5-acre parcel of land, as well as four other smaller residential properties on West 6th Street, 7th Street and East 8th Street, on Tuesday, Aug. 22, beginning at 7 p.m.

open. “We want to make sure that we get a good parking spot and a good seat,” said Emma, sitting at one of the picnic tables near the oyster sandwich stand. “And we want to make sure we get a good spot in line,” she added. At 6:30 p.m., 30 minutes before the shuttered booth was set to open, her son was one of about 200 people standing in the line that curved back and forth in front of the oyster sandwich booth. “We come here for the oyster sandwiches and the hamburgers,” said Emma. “Keith drives all the way from Lewes just for the oyster sandwiches.” Steve Hitchens, Laurel, was seated across the table from Adkins. He was helping her save seats — he was also waiting for sandwiches that his friends Marvel and Nate Motz, Greenwood, were fetching him. And beyond that, he was looking to playing a few games of chance. “I am so ready for bingo,” said Hitchens. Not too far from the oyster sandwich booth is the bingo booth, where a volunteer with the Sharptown Fire Department spins a large vertical wheel and calls out to the players the letter-number combinations on which the wheel lands. On Saturday night, George Henry, Sharptown, was spinning the wheel. “Every year, since I was little, I have come here,” said Hitchens, 47. “I used to enjoy the rides — now I enjoy the food

and the bingo.” So for some, it is the bingo. And for others, the reason that they visit the Sharptown Carnival is that favorite pastime of many: people watching. “We really come here to see the people,” smiled Bud Snyder, Seaford. He and his wife, Betty, were standing in front of Ellis in the soft-shelled crab line, a line they had chosen because it was shorter than the oyster sandwich line. Betty Snyder, 73, grew up in Laurel and remembers visiting the carnival every year with her parents. In addition to enjoying the food there, she and her husband always buy a chance on the car that is raffled off by the fire department. “We will keep coming as long as we can,” said Bud Snyder. “It’s tradition!” So roots, the food, the games, the people and tradition. That is why people visit the Sharptown Carnival. And then there are the rides. “This is very exciting,” said Tom Harvey, standing in the Ferris wheel line with his nephew, Cameron Harvey, 13, and his granddaughter, Abby Lyons, 3. “I haven’t been to one of these small carnivals in years.” The Harvey family is from Alexandria, Va., and have a vacation home near Rhodesdale, Md. “Someone told us we should visit the carnival,” Harvey said. “This is our first time here.” Abby’s mother, Kim Lyons, lives in Greensboro, S.C. As Abby went around and around on the Ferris wheel, Lyons stood on the ground nearby, waving every

time the car in which her daughter was sitting came into view. “I’m looking forward to the funnel cakes,” Lyons said. “And maybe some games of bingo. This kind of thing is very different from where we live, very small town. It is interesting, and fun.” As for Abby, Lyons had no doubt what she would want to do once the Ferris

wheel ride was over. “She will ride every ride here,” she said, taking in the carnival grounds with a large sweep of her arm. “And that’s OK. Because being here is really just all for her.” Roots, food, games, people, tradition, rides. And creating memories that will last a lifetime. That’s the Sharptown Carnival.

Ordinances would address abandoned cars and noise By Mike McClure The Delmar Joint Council, during its meeting last Monday, held first readings on three ordinances for the bi-state town: an abandoned vehicles ordinance, a noise ordinance and a flood plain ordinance. The council also discussed the possibility of starting a curbside recycling program in town. All three ordinances up for first reading apply to both sides of town, in Delaware and in Maryland. The proposed abandoned vehicles ordinance would amend the existing ordinance to allow for stricter enforcement. According to town manager Sara Bynum-King, residents have 30 days to remove a car from their property but the current ordinance doesn’t prohibit the residents from moving the vehicles back to their property. The amended ordinance would address this situation. The noise ordinance addresses complaints from some residents over outdoor amplifier systems at businesses and loud noise from cars at certain times at night. The ordinance requires the maintenance of a certain level of noise from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. The third ordinance deals with residents’ complaints that they couldn’t get flood insurance because they’re not in the 100 year flood plain. According to FEMA, the town can still adopt an ordinance that

would allow them to participate. A Delaware Solid Waste Authority representative spoke to the council about the statewide recycling and voluntary curbside collection program in Delaware. The town was approached about participating in the program, which would include pickup in the Maryland town as well as in Delaware. The council wants to see what the community thinks about the program before agreeing to take part in it. The program, in which containers and bags would be provided for residents, would be mandatory for all residents if the town agrees to participate. Delmar (Del.) Mayor John Outten said he would be more apt to take part in the program if it didn’t mean an additional cost for residents ($2 per week). In other business, Delmar Commons developer Robert Wittig has come to an agreement with the owners of the billboards on the property, located at the corner of routes 13 and 54. Wittig came before the commission during the June meeting asking for a certificate of occupancy even though the billboard still remained on the property (the previous property owner had a contract with the billboard owner). Council members asked Wittig to take down the billboards, which include an advertisement for the Canton Inn Gentleman’s Club. According to Wittig, they will be down by Jan. 15, 2007. The Delmar (Del.) Council agreed to grant Wittig a certificate of occupancy for Delmar Com-

mons if the project meets the other requirements. The Delmarva Day in the Park, which was rained out in June, is scheduled to take place on Saturday, Sept. 9. Also, Delaware State Treasurer Jack Markell will finish his bike tour at the park on

Aug. 25. The town received a plaque from the National Arbor Day Foundation as part of the Tree City USA. Delmar also hired three new police officers: Justin Smithart, Kevin McCahill and John Dallam. All three are currently in the police academy.

87th Annual Delaware State Fair a big success With eyes closed, one can imagine the scent of sausages served with peppers and onions filling the air; however, with eyes open, one would notice that the rides have been removed and there isn’t a sno-kone in sight. The memories, however, of yet another sensational Delaware State Fair will live on. Near midnight on Saturday, July 29, the 87th annual event came to a successful close. According to the Fair’s general manager, Dennis Hazzard, “This year’s Wilmington Trust Grandstand shows generated over $1.5 million in sales with 55,346 tickets having been sold — a true record. We sold-out the July 28th Demolition Derby and experienced a 98 percent sellout for Larry the Cable Guy and a 99 percent sellout for Brad Paisley.” Additionally, most of the Fair’s other shows experienced strong sales including the Big Rich concert which offered the most pyrotechnic displays ever presented on the Fair’s stage. “It was tremendous,” exclaimed Hazzard. According to Hazzard, the Fair also placed a real “hit” on the stage during Governor’s Day — The Beach Boys featuring John Stamos. “In recent years, we’ve experimented with alternative forms of entertainment such as Cirquestyle shows and Irish dancing on Governor’s Day; however, this year we contracted The Beach Boys, and we learned this was the Governor’s favorite groups and obviously a crowd-favorite as well.”

The 2006 attendance figures indicate attendance was up 2.3 percent over last year for a total of 284,436 people having visited during the 10-day event. Moreover, Wade Shows, the Fair’s carnival for eight years, established a new record gross due in part to the various unlimited ride promotion days. The Fair’s Junior Livestock Auction offered up Grand Champion, Reserve Champion and market livestock for recordbreaking bidding. This year’s auction raised roughly $138,000 — up 7.8 percent over last year. Monies raised during the event are offered to junior exhibitors to offset the cost of having purchased and raised the animal and to assist college savings funds; moreover, additional funds are donated to the 4-H and FFA organizations. According to Hazzard, overall livestock entries were up 7 percent over 2005 with goat entries being substantially higher. New sponsors and vendors, including fudge, soft pretzel and bakery stands, were added this year. “We want to ensure that we bring in the best vendors in terms of quality and presentation,” he said. “In spite of the warm temperatures and a few showers, the 2006 Delaware State Fair was outstanding,” said Hazzard. “Due to excellent pre-fair planning by a remarkably dedicated staff, aided by members of our volunteer board of directors and the additional seasonal paid personnel and volunteers, the event ran as smooth as I could have wished for.”

Sankofa will be in the AFRAM parade on Saturday morning at 10:00 a.m. and will be performing at 12:00 p.m. at the festival. New to the AFRAM Festival entertainment lineup is the Red Alert Band from Coatsville, Pennsylvania. Red Alert Band was formed in 1995 of professional and seasoned musicians and they provide a wide range of songs to include Motown, Oldies, and R&B funk. The Red Alert Band will close out the AFRAM Festival on Saturday at 8:00 p.m. Another new AFRAM entertainer is Orlando Phillips, the RastAmerican, from Annapolis, Maryland. Phillips is a oneman steel drum entertainer. He also plays the saxophone, bass guitar, and keyboards to perform calypso, soca, and traditional reggae songs. “Evidently, Orlando Phillips performed here in Seaford at the Fire Hall a couple of years ago,” said Desiree Moore, president and parade chair of the Eastern Shore AFRAM. “Many people were extremely impressed with him and are awaiting his return to Seaford. We gladly welcome all of Orlando Phillips’ fans to the AFRAM Festival”

Phillips was born in the U.S. to Caribbean parents. He was also an original vocalist, bass and sax player for the nationally acclaimed group Starpoint, most known for the song “Object of My Desire”. He has also performed with Patti Labelle, Ashford and Simpson, Kool and the Gang, Natalie Cole, Luther Vandross, Toni Braxton, Morris Day of the Time, and Blackstreet. Phillips will be performing at AFRAM on Friday night at 8:00 p.m. Leading off the wide variety of entertainment that will be featured at this year’s festival is R&B artist, Jimmy Allen. This is Allen’s third year appearing at Amateur Night at AFRAM, which jump starts the festival on Friday night at 5:00 p.m. Allen has been singing since the age of five and is a self taught drummer, percussionist, and pianist. He is currently a sophomore at Delaware State University and has been the opening act for major artists including Usher, B5, and Musiq Soulchild. Allen’s first single is entitled “Perfect Stranger” and is currently receiving radio rotation in Philadelphia, Baltimore and parts of Michigan.

Bounty of summer can be preserved for cold winter In pre-refrigeration days the summer kitchen was a pretty busy spot. Nature’s bounty had to be preserved for those dreary winter months ahead. Even those cooks not lucky enough to have their own gardens would gain access to fresh fruits and vegetables somewhere and begin the process of preserving and storing them in the pantry. Today, as Italian cooking specialist Kyle Phillips tells us, refrigeration, cold storage and long-distance shipping have not only greatly increased the availability of fresh fruits and vegetables but have also made those which were once considered seasonal able to be sold year round. Yet, there are those who find a “quiet satisfaction” in the old process of picking at the peak of ripeness, cooking, packing jars and filling them with oil, vinegar or syrup before sterilizing and sending them off to storage. If you are one of them, here are some especially easy, tried and true Italian recipes that you can enjoy all year. They make great gifts, too. Giardiniera – Pickled Vegetables (Makes about 2-1/2 pounds. The typical Italian antipasto plate would not be without these mixed veggies.) 10 ounces button onions, peeled and soaked in cold water for an hour 10 ounces baby carrots, peeled and cut into sticks 10 ounces celery, stalks only, stripped of

The Practical Gourmet strings and cut into short lengths A medium-sized cauliflower 1 quart white wine vinegar (have more handy) Olive oil A couple of bay leaves 2 or 3 cloves 1 teaspoon peppercorns 1 tablespoon salt The vegetables listed are the standard ones one found in almost every recipe, but you can add other things to suit your taste, for example baby mushrooms, green beans, zucchini, baby cucumbers, or artichoke hearts — feel free to experiment. Set the vinegar to boil with the herbs, spices and salt. While it’s heating, separate the cauliflower florets. When the vinegar comes to a boil, add the vegetables and cook them for about 15 minutes. Remove them to the jars with a slotted spoon and pour the boiling hot vinegar over them; have more boiling vinegar handy should the cooking liquid not be enough. Sprinkle a tablespoon of olive oil over

the top of each jar; cover the jars tightly and let them cool. Store them in a cool dark place for a couple of weeks, and they’re ready for use. Expect them to keep for a year.

There are those who find a ‘quiet satisfaction’ in the old process of picking at the peak of ripeness, cooking, packing jars and filling them with oil, vinegar or syrup before sterilizing and sending them off to storage.

Pepperoncini al Tonno – Hot peppers Stuffed with Tuna These can be addictive. Though this recipe will in theory serve 8, you can safely halve that number. 25 small, round, hot peppers 1/2 pound tuna packed in oil (drained weight; you may need less, but won’t want to come up short) 1 quart olive oil 1 and 1/8 cups white wine vinegar Set the peppers out to dry in the sun for 2 days. Clean them by rubbing them with a moist cloth. Using a sharp paring knife, remove the stems, seed them, and remove the ribs, being careful not to puncture them. Put them in a bowl and add vinegar to cover. Let them rest for 3 days, making sure they remain submerged, and then let them drain well on a clean cloth. Drain the tuna, break it up with the tines of a fork, and use it to fill the peppers, tamping it down gently so they won’t split. Arrange the peppers in glass jars, add olive oil to cover, seal them, and let them rest for a week before enjoying them. They’ll keep for about 6 months.

LAUREL LOCATION ONLY

Sott’oli – Mixed Vegetables Packed in Oil Take firm vegetables, for example bell peppers, tiny button onions, baby mushrooms, carrots, baby artichoke hearts, tiny cucumbers, and so on, wash them well, cut them into small bite-sized pieces, and blanch them for a few minutes in a waterand-vinegar solution. Drain them well, pat them dry and pack them in olive oil in a jar with the herbs of choice, which can include pepper corns, coriander, bay leaves, parsley, oregano, cloves, or what have you. Garlic? It can harbor botulism spores, and though a commercial operation has the equipment for neutralizing them, you may not. Once you’ve filled the jar with oil give it a few sharp taps, turning it this way and that, to dislodge air bubbles, seal it tight, and store it in a cool dark place for a few weeks to give the herbs the time they need to flavor the vegetables.

Help with school expenses The poverty level in Sussex County is higher than other areas of the state. When the children need to get ready for school each fall, it is an expensive time of year. At poverty level when you have to decide notebook paper and pencils over paying the gas bill, the gas bill wins hands down. Many children come to school ready to learn but they don’t have the tools to learn. As a response to this problem Saint John’s United Methodist Church in Seaford started a program to collect school supplies in 2001. Churches and local businesses were asked to help support this program. Each year it has grown. Now it includes the Laurel, Bridgeville, Greenwood, Delmar, Georgetown and Dagsboro areas. Each of the communities collecting items for their own school districts. The supplies are then handed out by school guidance counselors to the children in need. Christ United Methodist Church, 510 South Central Ave., in Laurel, will serve as the coordinator for the Laurel School District this year. Churches have been sent a list of school items that are needed and local businesses asked to contribute. All items must be turned in to Christ Church by Aug. 21. The church office is open from 9 a.m. to noon, Monday through Friday. Call Teresa C. Littleton, 875-2729, with questions.

MORNING STAR

✳ AUGUST 10 - 16, 2006

Letters Filing fee discourages candidates I read with interest the column on the back page of the Seaford Star by Mr. Richardson about elections. I agree that incumbents should not run unopposed and especially career politicians should not run unopposed. I believe there are two reasons why many folks don’t run for office: cost is a significant factor as well as un-statesmanship conduct by those in politics. As I understand it the cost to file can be up to 1 percent of the salary of the sought after position. In addition, this fee is paid to the party and not to the election commission. Perhaps I am missing something, but I fail to see why if I file that money should go to the party. The party I declare should be glad to have those who seek office on their ticket. The filing fee should be low to allow citizens to run for office and the fee should go to the election commission to help off-set the cost of elections. There are also other high costs involved such as printing campaign literature and mailings. To run for office these days means to be involved in politics and politics has become tarnished. Politicians are at times looked at as the used car salesman stereotype or insurance sales pitch. Gone are the days of citizen legislators and gone are the days of statesmanship. What’s in it for me, control, influence and/or power, and often name calling are the rule of the day. Debate of issues and doing right by the citizen has gone by the way side in many cases. I would like to run for office. Unfortunately I do not believe that it would do any good to declare a party unless I was one of the favored ones chosen by the party (either party). The party I do not believe would endorse me or contribute money or time to my campaign. The system today is not set up to be citizen friendly. Cronyism seems to be very important to running for office as well. So, why don’t more people run and why do we have unchallenged races? Just a few possibilities from someone on the fringes. John Poe Bridgeville

Anti-Christianism A recent article in the New York Times went out of its way to report on the lawsuit that a Delawarean is pressing against the Indian River School District for allegedly allowing a prayer during a high school graduation which included her

She professed to be so offended by the mention of Jesus Christ during the prayer of benediction on the students that she and the ACLU are seeking a settlement of reputed six figures for the alleged offense. The article portrays a Mrs. Dobrich as someone who has been victimized, whereas the truth seems to be the opposite. A study of the facts surrounding that case shows that there was no intentional offense against her nor was any religious thing forced upon her. She just happened to be present at a public gathering. It was a case of a person who refused to allow others the privilege of religious expression in her presence. She clearly states that she demonstrates her own religion publicly and openly and that of her family as a right — and she is correct in that. But, what she objects to is seeing the same thing from others. Her case has been taken up by the ACLU which is notoriously against all religions, including her own, on the basis of the false premise of “separation of church and state,” a statement which is found nowhere in any of our founding documents, but was created out of thin air by a corrupted Supreme Court. Since the ACLU opposes public expression of religion of any denomination, she is cooperating with them in an act that, if successful, would encourage the denial of public expression of her own religion — if she is unaware of that end result. Yet, as Americans we are all guaranteed freedom of religion and freedom of speech, each of which are twisted by the ACLU to mean the opposite. The combination of Mrs. Dobrich and the ACLU is a hard one to figure out. In other words, there is discernible real basis for her case against the Indian River School District and those who object to her action have a right to disagree with what I consider her intolerance and lack of

respect for the religious expression of others while insisting on the unlimited expression of her own. It is not anti-Semitism to disagree with a Jewish person. They are no more 100 percent right than any other American and while it is politically correct to call any criticism of a Jew anti-Semitic, nevertheless not all criticism is of that nature. Yet, a local news cartoon labeled any criticism of Mrs. Dobrich’s lawsuit as “Jewish families being ridiculed, harassed, and threatened by the Indian River School District, 2006.” Actually, if there were any threats, ridicules or harassments, where is the public or police record of them? Since this case has not yet come to trial, any comment of fault is entirely uncalled for. I can speak freely as having been involved with the state of Israel in my former position as manager of government contracts for the Westinghouse Defense Center in Baltimore in which one of my clients was the state of Israel, where I have visited and been involved in their fight against terrorists even then. I experienced religious instances there where Christians and Jews practiced their religions side-by-side without incident, tolerant and respectful of each other. I experienced Jewish religious ceremonies where a rabbi invoked prayer upon us all and I ac-

cepted it as a well-intentioned gesture. Mrs. Dobrich was “offended” because a Christian pastor placed a prayer of blessing on the graduating students, one of which was her daughter. It is also curious how a “six figure dollar settlement” will somehow assuage any offended feelings. Since the ACLU promotes profanity, abortion, pornography, homosexual acts, same sex marriage, euthanasia, and other acts on the basis of privacy and free speech, it is also curious that they agree with Mrs. Dobrich that an expression of religion is a worthy basis for a lawsuit and in their inverted logic not a matter of free speech. Is it any wonder that people do not agree and ask her to be tolerant and to stop discriminating against Christians who show tolerance toward her? If anti-Semitism exists, then so does anti-Christianism. If one is to be observed, so does the other. Tolerance is a two-way street. The Indian River School District has not ridiculed, harassed and threatened anyone for any reason as reported by the New York Times and one of our local papers. Their stand for two-way tolerance is as American as you can get and should be respected and not abused. Charles N. Valenti Rehoboth

POLICE JOURNAL Fatal crash investigated The Delaware State Police Collision Reconstruction Unit is investigating a two vehicle crash, which claimed the life of a 44-year-old Greenwood man. On Tuesday, Aug. 1, at 8:40 pm, Troopers responded to the intersection of CR 594 (Oak Road) and CR 591 (Apple Tree Road), approximately three miles east of Bridgeville, for a two-vehicle crash. A 1996 Nissan 240, operated by Jason Anderson, 19, of Greenwood, was traveling southbound on CR 591. A 1996 Ford Ranger, operated by Robert Downes, 44, of Greenwood, was traveling westbound on CR 594. As both vehicles approached the intersection, Downes failed to stop at the stop sign and the two vehicles collided. After the initial impact, the Nissan came to rest in a ditch off the west edge of roadway. The Ford Ranger continued southwest and struck a pole off the south edge of roadway. Downes was transported to Nanticoke Hospital, where he later died from his injuries. It is unknown if Downes was wearing a seatbelt. Anderson, who was wearing his seatbelt, was treated at Nanticoke Hospital and released without injury. A preliminary State Police Investigation suggests that Downes was under the influence of alcohol. The crash remains under investigation.

When consumers call the phone number given, a recorded message tells them to enter their account number by pushing the numbers on the phone keypad. What consumers do not know is that they are not calling a legitimate business but are calling a Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone set up by a thief. The VoIP phone recognizes the keystrokes entered by consumers so that their bank and credit card account numbers are captured for use by criminals through this “vishing” scam. Attorney General Danberg offers the following tips to protect your confidential and private information: • Never provide personal or financial information in response to unsolicited emails or telephone calls. Legitimate businesses don’t ask for this information by email or phone. • If in doubt, contact the business directly through the phone number on your bank account statement or the back of your credit card. Never call the number given in the email or phone message. • Review credit card statements monthly to look for unauthorized charges. • Regularly monitor your credit reports from the three major credit bureaus.

Mountaire Employee injured Delaware State Police Troop 4 detectives are investigating an industrial accident that occurred Aug. 3 at approximately 11:10 p.m., in the rear parking lot of the Mountaire Poultry Plant. Michael Reed, 39, of Lincoln, arrived at Mountaire for the night shift and parked in the rear unlit parking lot. As Reed walked towards the building, he was struck by a forklift. The operator of the forklift apparently did not know Reed was struck. There were two forklift operators in the parking lot at the time of the accident. Investigators are still attempting to determine which forklift struck the victim. Employees found Reed lying on the ground with very serious injuries. Reed was airlifted to PRMC Hospital and later transferred to Baltimore Shock Trauma, where he was admitted in critical condition with internal injuries. This industrial accident remains under investigation.

And then there were two. The Laurel Junior League softball team and the Seaford Senior League softball teams are the lone remaining teams in Little League play. The Senior League World Series kicked off across the county at the Lower Sussex Little League complex in Roxana on Sunday. The opening day ceremony was pretty much the same old thing, after all I’m a veteran World Series reporter. This is the third straight year the event has taken place in Sussex County. It took a long time to get through the opening ceremony (they did have two hours to kill before the first scheduled game), but then again a lot of people put in some hard work to make this event special for the young ladies. They certainly deserve some recognition. As for me, once the opening day activities concluded I had some time to reflect on the day’s event as I waited a half hour in the hot sun to get my press credentials. I guess I wouldn’t have minded as much if I wasn’t waiting outside an air conditioned trailer. The first day featured some great opening day games. While the Seaford team didn’t win, it certainly proved it can play with the best teams in the world. Things went a little smoother as far as taking pictures during the games. Last year I was thrown out of the teams’ dugouts so often I thought my name was Earl Weaver. This year we had the choice of taking turns standing in the dugout or take our chances on the scaffolding high above the softball fields. Needless to say, I did not choose the latter. I’m not a big fan of heights. Back when I was an intern at the sports radio station in Salisbury, we had a radio announcer who protested the Major League baseball strike/work stoppage by living on a billboard until the strike ended (or when the season was supposed to end). The station’s program director got the bright idea of sending his eager young slave, I mean intern, out to take pictures of his colleague to send in to a national sports publication. I knew the billboards were up in the air a little bit but I had no idea how high they really are. I started taking pictures from the

ground, working up the nerve to eventually make the long journey up the ladder to take close up pictures. This was the first time I met the announcer, who later became a good friend, and after yelling up to him to introduce myself I told him “I’m not a big fan of heights.” I made the mistake of bringing my college roommate along for moral support (and as a safety net in case I fell). He started taking pictures of me as I made the climb. I eventually made it up there and got my pictures, of course they didn’t make it into the sports paper. I wish I could say that experience helped me get over my fear of heights, it didn’t. Eastern Regionals- Two Laurel teams advanced to the Eastern Regionals to represent Sussex County and the state. The Major League softball team went winless in the Eastern Regionals and was back in time to take part in the Senior League opening ceremony. Both manager Kenny Willey and his wife Kelly (a coach on the team) said the girls had a ton of fun despite not winning. “We had a ball,” Willey told me during a Senior League opening game. The team had so much fun, especially during the playing of the YMCA song, they caught the attention of everyone at the regional tournament in Albany, New York. It’s great to hear that kids can still have fun playing sports without worrying about whether they win or lose. Sure we all like to win, but youth sports are supposed to be about teaching children the fundamentals and allowing them to have fun while playing. The Laurel Junior League softball team also won the District III and state titles and is currently playing in the Eastern Regionals in Syracuse, New York. (More on this team next week.) Quick hits- The 9-10 and 10-11 Delmar softball teams each won state titles last week. For those of you who didn’t know, that’s why the fire trucks were going through town with the sirens and lights going and a bunch of happy young ladies loaded into one of the trucks. Seaford third baseman Julia Carr made a pair of nice plays in the field during Sunday’s game. I’d compare the plays to the glovework of Brooks Robinson but some younger readers probably have no idea who he is.

The host District III softball team of Seaford fell to USA East (Milton, PA) in an opening day game of the Senior League World Series last Sunday in Roxana. USA East scored two runs in the first before adding four insurance runs in the sixth in the 6-1 win. East put a pair of runs on the board in the bottom of the first when Nicole Smith doubled and scored when Larissa Luu stole second. Luu moved to third on the throw home and scored on a sac fly by Amy Neitz. Nanticoke starter Heather Draper walked a pair and allowed an infield single as the East team loaded the bases in the bottom of the second before catcher Danielle Haldeman hauled in a popup for the final out of the inning. Third baseman Julia Carr made a pair of nice plays in the field and Draper notched her second strikeout in the bottom of the third. District III collected its first hit of the game in the top of the fourth on a single by Kari Bergh. Haldeman walked and Jenna Adkins put down a sac bunt to move the runners in scoring position. Bergh was

cut off at the plate on a fielder’s choice and Haldeman was thrown out trying to steal home. Draper made a nice off speed pitch for an inning ending strikeout after East put runners on first and second with one out in the bottom of the fifth. She was unable to avoid damage in the next inning. USA East’s Brittany Hoffman walked, Alysha Hoover hit a bloop single, and Kelly Pfleeger singled up to score Hoffman with both runners moving up on the throw home. Smith singled in Hoover and the runners moved up once again. Pfleeger scored on an error and Smith came home on a wild pitch to make the score 6-0. Adkins hit a one out double for her team’s second hit against Smith and Larissa Luu. Adkins went to third on a wild pitch and scored on a single by Megan Torbert. Draper singled to put runners on first and second but that’s where they stayed as Luu got out of the jam for the 61 victory. Bergh, Torbert, Draper, and Adkins had one hit each, Adkins scored a run and Torbert knocked in a run. For USA East, Smith went 2-for-3 with two runs and an RBI and Hoover batted 2-for-3 with a run.

Health Use your brain in a variety of ways to keep it healthy By Dr. Anthony Policastro Nanticoke Memorial Hospital, Medical director

Modern research has resulted in many changes in the way we think about brain cells. Not too many years ago, the thinking was that we were born with all of our brain cells. Then over the years we continued to lose brain cells. That is not true. We are born with more brain cells than we need. We do lose some of those. However, the ones we have grow more after birth. Other new ones form. Our brain is constantly changing. Areas that we use a lot have more cells. Areas that we do not use a lot have fewer cells. For example right-handed individuals have a better-developed area of the brain for their right hand than their left hand. However, if those individuals use their left hands more than the average, the area of their brain controlling the left hand will go on to develop more. The best example of this is the violinist. Violinists use their left hands to control the strings of the violin. The area of the brain controlling their left hand is more developed than the average right-handed individual. Another example is individuals who undergo amputation of a limb. When that occurs two things happen in the brain. One is that the area controlling that limb becomes less active. The other is that the surround-

ing areas of the brain kind of take over that area. The result is that the nerves controlling those areas are more sensitive than they would have been. This might help explain why individuals who are deaf or blind have other senses heightened. A good example of this is seen in blind individuals. These individuals cannot read because they cannot see print. Therefore, you would expect that area of their brain to not be active. However, if they learn to read Braille, the area of the brain that develops for reading Braille is the same one that would develop if they read print. What this means to us on a practical level is that it is important for us to engage in many different activities. Each of those activities stimulates a different portion of the brain. Reading will be different from watching television. Doing puzzles will be different from listening to music. This is even truer for young children. They are born ready to learn things in many different areas. It is necessary for us to provide them with stimulation in as many of those areas as possible. This is one of the reasons that young children are much better at learning a second language than older individuals. Their brain cells are ready and able to do this. When I was an intern I noticed that infants who were demanding of their parents’ attention tended to get a lot more

What do you call people who go out 24 hours a day, seven days a week, when called to help their neighbors when disaster strikes? Or, people who teach lifesaving skills like CPR, lifeguard training and First Aid? Or, those who hold disaster preparedness presentations in order to educate the public about being prepared for emergencies? You call them American Red Cross volunteers. On July 20, the local American Red Cross recognized Sussex and Kent County volunteers by holding a Volunteer Recognition Party at the Red Cross Seaford office. In attendance were volunteers who began their volunteerism during the 2005 Gulf Coast hurricanes – many of them were deployed to the affected states to help their fellow Americans. They are now helping local families when disaster strikes. Other volunteers in attendance began their volunteerism with the Red Cross many years ago. Two of these volunteers are Dot Sapp of Georgetown, with 45 years of service, and Mavis Newton of Dover, with 50 years of service. Awards that were given included the Jefferson Awards to Boyd and Connie Mitchell of Seaford, the Exceptional Volunteer Award to Les Potter of Seaford, Outstanding Volunteer Award to Stan Mills of Rehoboth, Disaster Services Award to Chet Wilt of Dover, Health Services Award to Ginny Succarotte of Georgetown, Public Affairs to Pilo Gomez of Milford, Public Affairs Award to Lynda Messick of Georgetown, Lifeline Award to Jim Powell of Lewes, RCN Award to Helen Vavala of Dover, Office Support Award to Peggy Sarkis of Millsboro, Diversity

AARP suggests ways to keep cool in summer heat Older people are especially at risk from heat related health problems such as heatstroke and heat exhaustion. With the heat wave Sussex County is currently experiencing, now is not the time to do chores, run errands or weed your garden. “Heat can be miserable for all ages, but potentially life threatening for older persons,” according to Elinor Ginzler, AARP Director for Livable Communities. Here are 10 tips for dealing with the heat wave: • Relax and put off chores and any strenuous activity. • Stay indoors during the hottest times of the day. • Close your shades to keep out the sunshine. • If you do not have air conditioning, stay on the lower-level in your home — heat rises. • Check with your local agency for cool places you can go, such as libraries and public buildings, or a mall with air conditioning. • Wear light-weight, loose fitting clothing and protect yourself from the sun by wearing a hat, sunglasses or use an umbrella. • Drink plenty of water even if you are not thirsty. This helps keep your body cool. • Avoid alcohol or caffeinated beverages.

• If you have a chronic medical condition, talk with your doctor about additional precautions you should take to prevent heat related illness. Some conditions and medications may place you at higher risk. • Neighbors, friends or family should check in on older people in their homes to make sure they are not suffering from the heat. AARP is a nonprofit, nonpartisan membership organization that helps people 50 and older have independence, choice and control in ways that are beneficial and affordable to them and society as a whole. It produces AARP The Magazine, published bimonthly; AARP Bulletin, a monthly newspaper; AARP Segunda Juventud, a bimonthly magazine in Spanish and English; NRTA Live & Learn, a quarterly newsletter for educators 50 and older; and the Web site, AARP.org. AARP Foundation is an affiliated charity that provides security, protection, and empowerment to older people in need with support from thousands of volunteers, donors, and sponsors. The foundation has staffed offices in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

One megawatt of electricity is enough to power about 800 to 1,000 homes. On an average summer day, Delmarva Power customers use about 3,500 megawatts. The new peak won’t be officially determined until later in the week when officials rec-

oncile the initial estimate with actual usage. The previous all-time peak demand of 4,174 megawatts set July 27, 2005 was surpassed on Wednesday of this week as the effects of the current heat wave gripped the mid-Atlantic region. With heat indexes over the 100 degree mark, air conditioners pushed up power demand by continuously running to keep residences and businesses comfortable. While power supply is adequate, Delmarva Power is continuing to ask customers to use energy wisely, especially during peak usage hours between 3 and 7 p.m.

Letter carriers reminded to take it easy in heat Recent spikes in temperatures and heat indexes have created a challenge for letter carriers as they carry out their appointed rounds. However, Postal Service employees have pushed on, keeping sufficiently hydrated and taking precautions against heat exposure. “We have had many instances reported to us of customers providing water or lemonade or some refreshment to our employees while they are out in the heat delivering the mail. I want to ex-

press my thanks to these kind folks and let them know that we will continue to get the mail to their addresses,” says South Jersey district manager/lead executive Joanna B. Korker. Postal Service employees are regularly given daily talks by supervisors reminding them to be safe in the heat and to maintain fluid levels and to report to the office anytime they may feel any symptoms that may represent a sign of heat exposure.

where it is. It bothers me greatly that the old high school’s infield of the baseball field is just about completely grown over, although it is still sometimes used during the school year. This is not a slap at the school, as I am sure their hands are full getting ready for the return of students this fall. In addition I was hopeful that the field at the new high school could be improved with sidewalks and other things. It’s OK to dream isn’t it? — Kenny Willey is the manager of the Major League girls state champion team that was in Albany, N.Y., last week for games. Before one game the sound of the song YMCA echoed from the announcer’s booth. Quick as a flash Kenny got his players out of the dugout to participate in the YMCA dance and in seconds the whole park was doing the YMCA. Little League officials told Kenny in their long history of involvement in Little League they had never seen that kind of enthusiasm and spirit. Way to go, Kenny. I have to say that is you at your best! — On a recent trip to Delmar I came back with this tidbit of information: Bill Davis, a retired DuPonter and cookie salesman, has bought himself a horse from Gary Horseman. Bill, I still do not think that horse was in the Kentucky Derby. Some salesman, that Gary! — The Good Samaritan aid organization is really having a time of it recently, as someone has decided that it is a good dumping ground for everything from old logs to outdated soft drinks. It’s up to all

of us to report unacceptable things that go on in our community. I do know that area will be watched a lot closer for awhile. — The new Domino’s Pizza will open on Aug. 22. It is hiring, for those of you who may be interested. — There has been some talk among town officials and others about the possibility of closing Willow Street over Records Pond to car traffic and make it more enjoyable for walkers and fishermen. While visiting with Pastor Richard Blades the other day, the subject came up. “Dickie” grew up in the second house as you turn onto that street from Delaware Avenue. “Do you remember when it was a dirt road? Harrison Phillips used to spray it to keep the weeds down,” said Pastor Richard. Dickie Blades and his wife JoAnn are both graduates of Laurel High School and Dickie is the pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Georgetown. Later this month, the church will celebrate its 50th anniversary and Dickie and JoAnn are very busy preparing for it. Dickie has been there for 29 of those years. The date is Saturday, Aug. 26, at the 7 p.m. service and Sunday, Aug. 27, at 9:30 a.m. There will be special guests and the Blades would like to include their old friends from Laurel. — Parting laugh of the week from the Bargain Bill Round Table Saturday morning.

Life at home was a scare a minute Boo! Did I scare you? Sorry. It seems to run in my family. I sometimes think I grew up in the House of Horrors. My parents have always been wonderful people. Mom and Dad were great parents and they raised five successful children. But, at one time, there was a dark side to my parents. You see, they seemed to thrive on scaring the bejeebers out of their children. My father was the ringleader. He had a knack for hiding behind a piece of furniture and jumping out at you with a banshee scream as you walked by. I think he must have been a contortionist, because he had the ability to hide behind any size furniture. I think I remember him hiding behind a broom. It got so I was scared to walk through the house. I never knew when he would

TONY WINDSOR lunge out. Even today, I am half scared to open the basement door, or a kitchen cabinet, for fear that my father is waiting on the other side. My father’s high-pitched, shrill scream was also a favorite during a scary movie. It would always come at the precise moment that the movie was breaking for a commercial. When the television screen would blacken, just a split second before the commercial started, my father would let out that horrible, freakish scream. My mother was no slouch herself. Where my father used no props, simply utilizing his superb sense of timing and a set of great circumstances, my mother combined a grand sense of timing with ef-

fects. Many was the night that I would walk past a screen door or look out a dark living room window and find my mother’s contorted face, pressed against the screen or glass, her head covered with a pair of nylon stockings. The nylon stocking gag was an inexpensive way to create horror, and gave old panty hose an alternative use after they were otherwise ready for the trash. On special occasions, my mother would pull out all stops and bring on the Freddie Krugar of my young life, Booger Jacob. My brothers and I had the utmost respect for Booger Jacob because we never knew when he would appear. For Booger Jacob’s visit, my mother had to enlist the help of my grandmother. She would wait until my brothers and I were playing in the living room floor and totally unaware of our surroundings. “Hush, hush,” she would say. “Did you hear that noise?” Our eyes would immediately become as big as satellite dishes and we would scamper on to the arms of my grandmother’s chair, virtually climbing on top of her. Then it would happen. From an old closet under the stairway, my mother would seemingly float out, covered from head to toe in a white sheet with a grotesque green mask over her face. She would loom there for a few seconds then go back into the closet, leaving my brothers and me gasping for breath. Today, my mother finds it hard to believe that she and Dad once did these kinds of things. They would have never done this to their grandchildren. Huh? Oh well, we were just lucky, I guess.

Church camps offer a taste of a simpler life Along with people seeking a brief respite from the excessive heat we have been experiencing by going to the beach, late July and August bring about a bit of the past that still thrives in certain areas. For years and years, camp meetings were not only a place for townsfolk to get together and share their religion, but they were also the major social gathering for many people. Camp meetings were once very popular and many communities had a special area outside the confines of the town where friends met, studied the Bible, shared meals and friendship. Camp meetings were a relatively inexpensive part of summer life.

Moments with Mike Virginia ‘Mike’ Barton At one time, the Del-Mar-Va camp meetings were at the top of the list. Home for this group was between Laurel and Seaford, just off of what at one time was the major road through the state, and is now alternate U.S. 13.

Doing the Towns Together LAUREL AND DELMAR SOCIALS Sarah Marie Trivits . 875-3672

I’m off to a business start — of sorts — this week, announcing a merger of two towns. What are you thinking at this point? I have been requested to combine the social news from our Delmar friends with those from Laurel. So — if our readers in Delmar will call me with their notes of interest I will be happy to add them to my copy. My phone number is at the top of this column, I do have an answering machine and will return calls promptly. To begin this week I have a nice memo from a gentleman formerly of Delmar, Alvin S. Culver. I quote from his item: Ann Calloway called each one of the ones below to attend a get-together for dinner at 5 p.m. on Monday, July 24, at the Delmar Diner. Those faithful Delmar folks celebrated Delmar Days in Delmar just as they had in Florida over the past 15 years. They have now all returned to their respective areas after enjoying the dining and talking over the good old days. Just think of the 22 seniors who wanted to review the history of this small town. Can you name another town on the Eastern Shore where a group like this would have the desire to reminisce and leave so overjoyed to see old friends? Those attending were: Ann D. and Bill Calloway, Gladys and Thorpie Caldwell, Norma Lee and Ernest Pegelow, Walter Fisher, Doris Aydelotte, Jeanne Hearn, Betty Lloyd, Mary Jane and Richard Johnson, Betty Lou and Carl Wilkins, Jessie Calloway, Phyllis Parker, Claire and Douglas Grant of Akron, Ohio, Nadine and John Wimbrow of Salisbury, Md., and Irene and Alvin S. Culver, Frederick, Md. Mr. Culver asked me also to add this item: Mrs. Melba B. Hastings, much loved Delmar seamstress, is now in Assisted Living at Harbor Point, on Pemberton Drive in Salisbury, Md. Mr. and Mrs. Culver reside at 7401 Willow Road, Apt. 412, Frederick, MD 21702-2500. We’re congratulating this week John and Marcy Harrington Columna on the birth of a new daughter, Mallory Kate, on June 29, who weighed 9 pounds, 3 ounces, and was 21 inches long. Eagerly awaiting her arrival home were her sister, Maura, and brother, Nate. Mallory’s maternal grandparents are Bruce and Linda Harrington and her paternal grandparents are Bob and Sarah Lavery and Chuck and Diana Columna.

Minnie Culver spent the first weekend of August in Smithfield, N.C., with her grandson and wife, Chet and April Culver. Accompanying her were her son, Wayne, and his wife, Toni. Arvelene Moore and Beth Elzey thank B.J. Ellis and the Wesley United Methodist Church in Seaford for the wonderful trip to “Women of Faith Seminar” July 20-22. B.J. planned and entertained two busloads of ladies from the surrounding area churches. This seminar, held each year, was at the Verizon Center Arena in D.C. Participants heard wonderfully inspiring authors and speakers. Guest speaker was singer Sandy Patti. Thousands of women from all states attended.

Nestled in an area where the large trees provide shade, the campground was typical of the era. In the center was a tabernacle where Bible study and other study sessions were held. In the evening, campgoers would gather for a meeting, filled with powerful speakers and lively music. Around the tabernacle, in a circle, houses unique to camp-style filled the area. These small homes were usually one room wide, with some two-stories high, and had front porches. For years and years there was no indoor plumbing and central heat was not necessary. Air-conditioning was unheard of in those days. Special classes were held each day for the children, along with play period. Study groups for adults, often with guest speakers, were also held. “Camp” was open all summer but usually two weeks or 10 days were set aside for special sessions. Along with the special speakers and visiting musicians, area residents would “come home” during camp meeting for reunions with old friends. Life was very simple, friendships were renewed and everyone always had plenty of food to share along with the basics of the camp. Visiting preachers filled those present with the Holy Spirit and the women of the camp saw that everyone was well fed. Vacations were scheduled so that going to camp was a certainty. The Del-Mar-Va camp finally closed, along with most of the others throughout this area. Area residents bought the small homes and modernized them and now live in the camp area on a year-round basis.

Brandywine Springs Camp meetings, north of Wilmington just across the Pennsylvania line on 202, is still in existence, as is Carey’s Camp between Laurel and Millsboro. Many of the homes have been modernized and include year-round residents. Camp meetings were a very special part of the American way of life, especially in the rural areas. They were a special time when families and neighbors would assemble and visit and be a part of a deepseated faith. That same feeling has not changed in all the years since the first camp meeting. While some things have changed, the Walk Around on the final night of the sessions has not changed one iota. This is a time when everyone walks the circle between the tabernacle and the cottages, bidding farewell for another year to friends and family members. There is something very special about camp meetings and their lifestyle. One trip will make an impression that will stay with the visitor a lifetime. Camp meetings provided not only a time to worship together, but a time to be totally relaxed in a setting away from the normal routine. There seemed to be an unwritten rule that the words “hurry” or “rush” were not allowed. Camp meetings are a way of the American lifestyle that is fast fading away. Should you have a chance to visit a camp, do it now before this bit of Americana fades away. Guaranteed you will be happy you took the time.

A surprise limo ride from Arveline Moore’s children celebrated her birthday along with a festive dinner at Old West Steak House in Salisbury on Sunday, July 30. Her brother Norman, Mary Lee and sister Mildred Hitchens also attended. The Lunch Bunch, Red Hat ladies are swinging into this month with a day at O.C. Surf Casters on Aug. 8 and dinner that evening at J.R.’s Rib with Karen Hitch as hostess. Aug. 19, they will have their monthly breakfast at the Dutch Inn, and on Aug. 31, Carol McCrea will host dinner at the Texas Road House in Fruitland. The one birthday they observe this month is for Hazel Baker.

We express our deepest sympathy to Sylvia Rolison in the loss of her son. And to the family and friends of Richard Lee Johnson, James F. Neal and Martin Lynch. We continue with prayers for those who are ill: Jack Benson, Agnes Robinson, Kelly Griffith, Richard Cordrey, Joe Hitchens, Ralph Baker, Terry Layton and Hattie Puckham. One birthday overlooked last week was for Mark Adams, who celebrated his on Aug. 2. To Miranda Dickerson happy birthday (18) from Linze and friends on Aug. 9.

OPINION Bringing meaning to this life

VIEWPOINT More facts and figures about schools and their influence on the economy Back-to-school activities have a tremendous impact on our nation’s economy, according to the Census Bureau. This week we look at technology in the schools and at the financial benefits of a good education. Technology in the classroom The number of computers available for classroom use in the nation’s 114,700 elementary and secondary schools as of the 2005-2006 school year were 14.2 million. That works out to one computer for every four students. Children ages 3 to 17 using a computer totaled 83% and those using the Internet at school totaled 43% as of fall 2003. One hundred percent of public schools had Internet access as of fall 2003.

The average starting salary offered to bachelor’s degree candidates in petroleum engineering at $62,236 is among the highest of any field of study. At the other end of the spectrum were those majoring in the humanities. They were offered an average of $31,565. The Cost of a higher education The current average tuition, room and board (for instate students) at the nation’s four-year public colleges and universities for an entire academic year is $12,605. The current average tuition, room and board at the nation’s four-year private colleges and universities for one complete academic year is $34,698. Both are more than double the corresponding 1990 figures. Graduation forecasts Projected number of high school diplomas that will be awarded this school year is 3.2 million. Number of college degrees expected to be conferred this school year is 2.9 million. Government Spending on Education The per-pupil expenditure on elementary and secondary education nationally in 2004 was $8,287. New Jersey ($12,981) spent the most among states or state-equivalents, followed by New York ($12,930), the District of Columbia ($12,801), Vermont ($11,128) and Connecticut ($10,788). Utah ($5,008) spent the least per student, followed by Idaho ($6,028), Arizona ($6,036), Oklahoma ($6,176) and Mississippi ($6,237).

Ronald MacArthur is still on vacation. Once again this gives me the opportunity to offer another viewpoint concerning the people and events making news in the area. First, I want to offer Ralph Scott and his family my deepest sympathy upon the passing of Ralph’s wife, Puff. Mrs. Scott went through a long illness and Ralph was there to provide as much comfort as possible. I have a lot of respect for Mr. Scott and I know that his faith has carried him through this difficult time. We never know what life will bring our way. We hope for the best and try to stay optimistic even in the most difficult of circumstances. Many will remember that Ralph Scott for many years wrote a column for this newspaper entitled, a “View from the Right.” In fact, a reader sent one of his columns to the paper just this past week because of its significance to the events occurring today. I’ll share part of that column in a future edition. Some of you may know that I’m a member of the Seaford Kiwanis Club. In fact, this year I’m serving as president. With my busy work schedule, I had no interest in serving as an officer of the club, but a few years ago at one of the Board of Directors meetings, Byron Palmer backed me into a corner and said he would not let me out until I agreed to serve. Anyone who knows Byron can tell you he’s a gentle man, but he can be persuasive when he wants to be. My reason for mentioning the Kiwanis is that I am amazed at the dedication of this club’s members. Many who belong to service clubs know that it is difficult to attract new members. The spirit of volunteerism is not as prevalent today as it was a decade or two ago. A few of our members are in their eighties, but you would never know that they are that age. At the last highway cleanup project, three of the members who showed up on a Saturday to pick up trash along

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.
