WATERMELON pROMOTION - National Watermelon Queen Jessica Southard and Mar-Del Watermelon Queen Parris Travers were on hand to give out fresh, cool watermelon slices, along with giveaways, including recipes, at the Laurel Auction Block on Thursday, Aug. 5. According to the National Agricultural Statistics Service in 2009, Maryland and Delaware farmers together harvested 157.3 million pounds of watermelons with a farm gate value of $15.7 million from 4,600 acres. The MarDel Watermelon Association along with the Delaware and Maryland departments of Agriculture encourage consumers to buy locally-grown food and support local farmers. Delaware and Maryland have under way a promotion urging consumers to buy the MAR-DELicious brand watermelons. Delaware and the Eastern Shore of Maryland is an area filled with the history of fresh market produce, including watermelons, with the Laurel (Del.) Auction Market serving as a primary marketing point for watermelons since the 1940s. As early as 1905, melons grown on the Delmarva Peninsula were shipped by rail to markets in the cities.

Petition started in Hitch case

By Lynn R. Parks Under the terms of a plea bargain, former Laurel School District finance officer William Hitch will not serve any jail time or pay any penalty for stealing more than $150,000 from the district. And that, said Laurel-area resident Norman Hastings, is simply not acceptable.

Hastings is circulating a petition throughout the district, asking Gov. Jack Markell to review the sentence

laurelstar.com

and if possible, strengthen it.

“I want something done,” said Hastings. “And a lot of people agree with me. People are aggravated and want to sign.”

Hitch was indicted June 16 on 99 felony counts related to the embezzlement. In a statement announcing the indictment, the Attorney General’s office said that Hitch made unauthorized payments to himself over a period of eight years. He was charged with

one count of theft of $100,000 or more, 12 counts of misuse of computer system information and 86 counts of tampering with public records.

Nearly all, 96, of those counts were dismissed under the terms of the plea bargain. Hitch pleaded guilty to one count of theft, one count of tampering with public records and one count of misusing a computer system.

Nanticoke’s highly skilled nursing staff maintains a Pressure Ulcer Prevention Program to help to reduce the incidence of healthcareacquired pressure ulcers. The Prevention Program consists of a Certified Wound Ostomy Continence Nurse on staff, ongoing education for clinical staff on pressure ulcer identification and care, complete head to toe assessment upon admission for pressure, and clinical documentation for skin and wounds with automated notification to CWOCN of 100% of all pressure ulcers documented by staff. Ongoing pressure ulcer audits are reported monthly.

Award given for loyalty, courage, sportsmanship

By Jim Allen The complete list of the past recipients of the Donald Blair Ellis Award has finally been completed with the discovery of the first four winners.

Sixty-five former Laurel High School football players have received the yearly award founded in memory of D. Blair Ellis, who lost his life in the service of his country in World War II. The award is given to the football player who has displayed the qualities of loyalty, courage, sportsmanship and accomplishments as attributed to D. Blair Ellis during his life as a student at Laurel High School. The winner is chosen by members of the team under the direction of the coach and the athletic director according to the rules and regulations of selection.

The Laurel Public Library houses books detailing the history of the award along with pictures of each recipient. The books were completed by former Laurel Bulldogs, Morris Harris, Doug Marvil and Ben Sirman, who put many hours into the research. In addition, the library has books paying tribute to Ron Waller, Dallas Marvil, Ben Sirman, George Records Schollenberger,

and the outstanding football teams of the late 1940’s and early 1950’s. The first four recipients of the award are: Howard Records, 1946; James Burford, 1947; George Lowe, 1948; and Richard “Dick” Whaley, 1949.

Howard Records - After Howard Records graduated from Laurel High School in 1946, he served in the U.S. Navy for two years, then attended the University of Delaware in the engineering department. He reports Burford that his first “real” job was with the Martin Aircraft Co., in Baltimore, Md., and then with a company in Elkton, Md. In 1956, he was hired at the DuPont Experimental Station in Wilmington and stayed there until his retirement in 1985.

He moved to Lewes in 1986. He married Imogene Hitchens, a 1949 Laurel High School graduate.

They have three Lowe daughters, six grandchildren, two step-

grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.

According to Records, his friend, Gene Williams, used to recite to him a poem, “Let me live in a house by the side of the road and be a friend to man.”

“Gene was a good man and that is a good philosophy,” Records states.

James Burford - James E. “Jim” Burford graduated from Laurel High School in 1947. After graduation he entered the University of Delaware, graduating in 1951 with a degree in engineering. He accepted Whaley a position with the DuPont Co., in Wilmington, and worked there for a year and a half, at which time he entered the Navy and was sent to Newport, R.I., where he entered Naval Officers Training School. He spent three years with the Navy, serving in the North Atlantic and the Caribbean. Upon being discharged as a Lt. Commander in 1954, he returned to his job with DuPont.

In November 1955, he married the former Hermia Douglass, a school teacher in the Prince George County, Virginia school system. They had a daughter, Jamie, and a son, Bill. For the next several years they lived in many states and Germany and he

retired from DuPont in 1985. Two years later, he returned to DuPont and was sent to Holland for consulting work on a building they were erecting in Spain. He retired to Richmond where he lives with his wife today. He retired from the Navy Reserve in March 1989.

George R. Lowe - George Lowe, the only child of John R. and Minnie E. Lowe, was born on June 10, 1929. He attended school in Sycamore before transferring to the Laurel School District in the third grade. He was the manager of the basketball team and played football during his years at Laurel High School.

After graduation, Lowe married Elsie Hearn of Delmar. He was a member of the Delaware National Guard and was employed at the Seaford DuPont plant for 35 years, retiring as a supervisor in 1985.

Lowe was a charter member of the Laurel Jaycees, holding several offices, as well as serving as the National Director.

He was a long-time member of Charity Lodge #27 100F, serving as Noble Grand.

Lowe and his wife raised four children, Lynette, Clint, Todd and Amy, all graduates of Laurel High School, and have four grandchildren. Lowe died in 2002.

Richard “Dick” Whaley - After graduating from Laurel High School in 1949, Whaley went to work at the Seaford DuPont plant. In January 1951, he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and was stationed in many air bases in the United States and around the world.

MORNING STAR • AUGUST 12 - 18, 2010 While stationed in Nebraska, he met his wife, Connie, and they were married in 1955. They have three sons, Philip, Mark and Blair. Whaley retired from the Air Force in August 1971, and returned to Laurel. He later served as the Laurel Town Manager, retiring in 1988.

Whaley observed, “I never understood the significance of the award until I got older and learned the full story about it.

It made me stop and do a lot of thinking.

I still have the award and the box it came in, as well as the note that was attached to it. I know I speak for the other recipients when I thank Dr. W.P. Ellis and his brothers, Gen. Richard Ellis and Joe Ellis, for providing the necessary resources for the award. We are all extremely proud to represent the qualities attributed to Donald Blair Ellis.”

“I also want to thank Jim Allen for keeping the memory of Blair “Jabbo” Ellis alive for the future generations to appreciate. His friendship and loyalty to his departed friend has never wavered. It was especially touching to see Blair Ellis’ nephew and namesake present the 2010 award at the recent Laurel High School Awards Night. Those of us who were past recipients of the D. Blair Ellis Award are all very proud to be a part of his legacy.”

Footnote by Jim Allen: “I cannot believe that it has been 65 years since the end of World War II, and that I have had the pleasure and honor to support the Blair Ellis Award project. My hat is off to all 65 recipients, and I want to congratulate every one of you and let you know that I am very proud of you.”

Petition circulates around Laurel asking Markell to look at Hitch case Continued from page 1

He was sentenced on July 19 to one year of probation and ordered to repay the money that he embezzled.

“This sentence doesn’t suit us at all,” Hastings said. “He won’t spend one minute in jail. He is getting off scot-free.”

With sentences like this, the state is “giving everybody a license to steal,” he added.

The petition to Markell says that Hitch’s punishment should include jail time of 10 years and payment of interest on the money he took from the district.

But Charles Butler, Chief Deputy Attorney General, said that defendants like Hitch

rarely get jail time. “This is a decision we have made as taxpayers: first-time property offenders are not worth the exorbitant expense of a jail cell unless they fail to pay restitution or otherwise violate their probation,” Butler added. “Moreover, if this defendant had received jail time, taxpayers would have had to pay to incarcerate him and the school district would have had to wait until he was released to begin receiving repayment.”

Jason Miller, spokesman for the state Attorney General’s office, said that Hitch’s sentence is not something that can be appealed. The plea bargain, negotiated

between the AG office and Hitch, “has been entered and accepted by the court,” he said.

“If this judgment can’t be reversed, I want somebody in the Attorney General’s office to pay for this,” Hastings countered.

And it’s all right with him if that payment means that the Attorney General himself, Democrat Beau Biden, has to resign, Hastings added.

“Beau Biden is responsible for this,” Hastings said. “I’m a Democrat. But if justice means getting rid of Beau Biden, then so be it.” Hastings, who underwent minor knee surgery on Tuesday, plans to start

going door to door as soon as he can, collecting signatures on his petition. “I want to get as many people as I can,” he said. “I plan to canvas the whole district.”

Once he feels he has as many signatures as he will get, he will deliver the petition to Gov. Markell.

“We can’t tolerate this kind of stuff,” he said. “This decision is absolutely wrong.”

For your information To sign the petition that Norman Hastings is circulating asking for a review of the sentence handed down to for school district finance officer William Hitch, call Hastings at 875-5853.

Alexander keeps history of Ross Mansion alive

By James Diehl

W

hen Margaret Alexander walks through the hallways of the historic Ross Mansion in Seaford, it’s not all that difficult for her to imagine what life was like in the mid 19th century. The signs are everywhere, from the unique architecture to the period furniture to the words etched into an upstairs windowpane by one of Ross’s daughters.

As a long-time volunteer turned part-time employee of the Seaford Historical Society, Alexander’s never met a ghost in the Italian villa-style home of the late governor – but she’d sure like to.

“I would love to see the governor sitting here one day, because I have a few questions I would like to ask him,” quips Alexander, a native of North Carolina and 25-year reading teacher in the Woodbridge School District.

“This house is just such a big part of the history of Seaford.”

Alexander is playing a vital role this year in the 150th anniversary of the historic mansion, giving special tours and hosting events that are all leading up to a blowout gala on Saturday, Oct. 16.

It’s a year-long celebration honoring the mansion and one of Delaware’s most influential, sometimes controversial, former governors. For Alexander, teaching people about Governor William Henry Harrison Ross’s mansion and family has become an important part of her life.

“I just like meeting the public and talking to people, and I also like the house and the history,” she says. “It’s just always been a neat job.”

Alexander is a perfect example of never knowing where life will one day take you – growing up on Tobacco Road and later attending the University of Delaware, Alexander had no idea she would one day be living in the Nylon Capital of the World.

The former reading teacher certainly never imagined she would, or even could, become so engrossed in the history of an area several hundred miles from her hometown of Charlotte, N.C. But indeed she has – she’s even jokingly been called “Mrs. Ross” by a colleague or two because of all the time she spends at the historic mansion. She soaks it all in and goes about her business with a constant smile on her face.

Keeping the history of the Ross family

Contact James Diehl at 302-222-2685 or email Bryant richardson, brichardson@ mspublications.com alive has become almost like a mission for Alexander.

“Some people have told me that they don’t think the historical society should have preserved a traitor’s house, and that hurts my feelings every time I hear that,” says Alexander, referring to the governor’s known ties to the South during the Civil War. “We may never go back to the way it was then, but this is a big part of Seaford’s history. I really don’t know how to respond to those statements sometimes; I think some people are still fighting the Civil War, if you want my honest opinion.”

Alexander figures she gives about 150 tours a year of the mansion, tours she makes engaging, informational and often interactive. She’s known to get out in the field and play hoops or graces – popular children’s games of the time – with the little ones or host tours in one of the handful of period outfits she’s handmade at her home.

“I like getting to dress up and pretend that I lived back then,” she admits. “The first costume I made, I thought I wanted the total experience, so I did it all with a needle and thread. But now I use a sewing machine, which works out a lot better.”

Gov. Ross had 10 children, and Alexander makes sure visitors to the mansion learn about each and every one of them. Everyone has their favorites, including the modern day “Mrs. Ross.”

“The kid I would most like to meet is Mary, the one who wrote her name in the windowpane upstairs,” says Alexander. “She was born in 1857, right before the Civil War, and I don’t think she had a close relationship with her father because she was really young when he left the country.”

In a way, Alexander feels a connection with Mary Ross because of the etching in the glass windowpane in her upstairs bedroom.

It’s there everyday, a constant reminder of

Margaret Alexander has been volunteering at the historic Ross Mansion since the 1980s and has been a part-time employee of the Seaford Historical Society since 1998. She gives roughly 150 tours of the structure each year and remains committed to keeping the history of the Ross family alive through her work at the Italian villa-style mansion.

her life in the Ross household.

“The story goes that Mary got a diamond engagement ring and wrote her name on the windowpane to see if it was a real one,” says Alexander with a smile. “And since we can see her name in the glass, we know that she did, indeed, get a real one.”

Thousands of people have toured the Ross Mansion since it was opened for tours in the 1980s, a good number of them hosted by Alexander herself. The stories are endless, the memories countless, the experiences unique.

Still, there are a few that stick out to the Ross Mansion caretaker, a few that are etched in her mind. Like the second grader who, taking a tour with a couple of women many times his age, decided to beat the ladies at their own game.

“He was taking the tour with his mother and his brother and we had just started when the doorbell rang and these two elderly ladies came in and joined us,” remembers Alexander.

“Well, these two ladies were into the artistic merits of everything and I didn’t think we were ever going to even get upstairs at the rate we were going.”

Instead of complaining, the young man listened to the ladies, analyzed what they were doing and, when they got to one of the bedrooms upstairs, decided he would join in on the fun.

“He was really sharp and we got up to the Gage bedroom where we had this cover

on the bed,” Alexander continues. “He had caught on to these ladies, so he took one look at it and said ‘I think they look like Cheerios,’ and they did. It was all I could do to keep a straight face.”

It’s those moments that make doing what she does so precious to Alexander, those moments when the history of Seaford is brought to life for the youngest of the generations.

The history of western Sussex County will likely only stay alive if it is passed on from generation to generation. And that’s exactly what Alexander has been trying to accomplish over the last 20-plus years through her work at the historic Ross Mansion and Plantation.

“If the governor could see this, I think he would be glad that somebody is looking after his house,” she says. “I also think the historical society would have a harder time rallying the people of Seaford about the past history of the area if the mansion wasn’t here. Just visiting this mansion really transports you back to that time.”

The 150th anniversary of the Ross Mansion will continue through the rest of the year. Upcoming events include an ice cream festival on Aug. 22, a Victorian fashion show on Sept. 11 and the anniversary gala on Saturday, Oct. 16.

For more information on any of these events, contact the Seaford Historical Society at 628-9500 or visit www.seafordhistoricalsociety.com.

With corporate headquarters in New Castle, Emory Hill provides construction services throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. The full-service company provides an in-house team of experienced construction professionals and on-site management who adhere to the company’s fundamental management component of “on time and on budget.”

Emory Hill has been the contractor for numerous high profile projects, including the Delaware Children’s Museum, the headquarters for Goodwill Industries of Delaware and Washington College in Chestertown, Md. The company is also the recipient of many awards for excellence in construction and most recently received the 2009 Smart Growth Award for TD Bank in Hockessin.

“We really hope this landmark project is just the tip of the iceberg for green design in Delaware,” says Bob Liberato, chief estimator and director of business

development for Emory Hill.

“This is the future of design and construction. For students and residents to have a place to learn about sustainable design and explore options for making their existing homes more efficient is priceless.”

Energy House is partially funded by a federal grant from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds of the U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration.

Energy House, a powerful combination of energy efficiency and the best in sustainable home design, will serve as a center for alternative and renewable technologies and as a demonstration facility and educational lab for Delaware Tech’s new Applied Energy Education offerings.

Designed by Element Design Group of Lewes, Delaware, this residential-style building will be constructed with sustainable design and building methods and materials; the college will seek LEED Platinum level certification through US Green Building Council for the facility.

Wired for distance-learning capability, Energy House will provide remote learners access to vital energy education. Special focus will be on renewable energy and environmentally-preferred products that

people can use now in their homes and work; these products include a living green roof, solar systems, wind generation equipment, radiant floor heating, geothermal options and efficiency in construction and appliance usage.

As a working lab and an actual home, Energy House will collect and provide data on the cost/benefit of energy generation and efficiency that students and the public can use to make smart decisions about sustainable alternatives.

“The Town of Georgetown is very excited to see this project move to the next phase,” says Brian Pettyjohn, mayor of Georgetown.

“Having students, professional architects and engineers and the trade industries come to Georgetown to learn about green building design, construction, operations, and maintenance will be extremely beneficial and will help promote economic growth in and around our town.

Georgetown is committed to encouraging enterprises that contribute to energy conservation and sustainability of our natural resources.”

New video by James Diehl will feature 25 local WWII veterans Sixty-five years since the conclusion of hostilities in World War II, voices from this important time in history are vanishing in rapid numbers. Sadly, it won’t be long before first-hand accounts from this period are lost forever.

The film will feature 25 of the 100 veterans included in Diehl’s two books, “World War II Heroes of Southern Delaware,” released last year, and “World War II Heroes of Coastal Delaware,” scheduled for a May 2011, release.

The Horseys created the Horsey Family Youth Foundation Fund at the Delaware Community Foundation to support programs for youth in Southern Delaware. Their goal is to try to keep children off drugs and the streets by encouraging them to become involved in education and sports programs.

An estimated 3,500 to 4,000 kids will benefit from the grants awarded to 15 Kent, New Castle and Sussex County organizations that provide organized league sports including baseball, softball, cheerleading, football and wrestling.

This event is being held to recognize these organizations and to encourage individuals and businesses to make contributions to HFYF Fund to help support youth programs.

resident of Sussex County. “This film, when completed, is going to be something very, very special.”

While many of the recollections in the film can be read about in Diehl’s book project, the film will allow Diehl viewers to put faces to the names, to see the very real emotions etched on the faces of those involved in history’s grandest war.

Told from the perspective of men, and a handful of women, who served during that time period and today call Sussex County home, this film will allow their voices to be heard forever.

These stories are emotional, they’re real, and they’re so very candid. From Pearl Harbor, to Iwo Jima, D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge, among many other parts of the war, they are told with passion and an enormous amount of pride.

“More than anything, what comes through in these video accounts is the pride these men and women have in the United States of America,” says Diehl.

“They gave so much, and really asked for nothing in return. If I can help preserve their stories, even in a small way, then it is my distinct honor and privilege to do so.”

A two-and-a-half minute video trailer of the documentary can now be viewed by visiting Diehl’s website, www.ww2heroes.com. The site also features brief bios of the first 50 World War II veterans, several of whom have already passed on, as well as more information about southern Delaware’s humble heroes of World War II. The 234 page “World War II Heroes of Southern Delaware” is the first in a two-part series that pays tribute to area veterans of the Second World War. The book received a first-place award in the Delaware Press Association’s 2009 communications competition in the category of “Non Fiction Book-History.” The early profiles from the book were also named a first-place award winner in the 2007 Maryland-Delaware-D.C. Press Association’s editorial competition. “ ‘World War II Heroes of Southern Delaware’ by James Diehl provides interesting and often moving accounts of men and women who participated in World War II,” acknowledged George B. Ward, a history professor at the University of Texas and a judge for the DPA competition.

“Each chapter is essentially an interview with a southern Delaware resident, telling the story of their service and sacrifice during the war. Taken together, these engaging portraits of Delaware natives (and those who settled there), told mainly in their own words, create a powerful picture of the ‘Greatest Generation.’ ” More information about Diehl’s ongoing project honoring Sussex County’s World War II veterans can be obtained by visiting www.ww2-heroes.com.

Larry L. Morris, 70

Larry L. Morris of Seaford, was guided peacefully into Heaven on Sunday, Aug. 8, 2010, surrounded by family and friends at the Delaware Hospice Center in Milford. He fought a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer for over a year.

Larry was born on July 5, 1940, to Everett Alan and Beatrice Morris who preceded him in death. He is survived by his wife and best friend, Monica Morris.

Their 30th wedding anniversary would have been on Aug. 28.

Larry is also survived by his son, Gregory L. Morris and children, Hannah, Emma and Garrett; his son, Troy D. Morris and wife Stacy along with their three sons, Koby, Blake and Brady; and his stepson, Robert M. Culver, wife Elizabeth (Liz) and their son, Riley.

His brother and sister-in-law, Alan and Janet Morris, were at his bedside when he left this earth.

He also leaves several very special nieces, nephews and cousins.

Larry graduated from North Dorchester High School, then joined the U.S. Army and worked on the family farm. He had a 31 year career with DuPont in Seaford. He also owned his own landscaping business for several years and kept busy working with friends Linda, Mary and Sue at Seaford Florist. He was an active member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.

Larry was a quiet man but loved life and all it had to offer. Summer was his favorite time of year and he enjoyed many years of camping, fishing, making poor attempts at the game of golf, working in the yard and caring for his diverse assortment of pets. His greatest passion was travel. Along with his wife and close friends, Doug and Cyndie Figgs, Larry always looked forward to the next adventure. A celebration of life will be held at Central Worship Center, 14545 Sycamore Rd., Laurel, at 1 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 12. Family and friends may visit at the church between noon and 1 p.m. Burial will follow in Odd Fellows Cemetery, Seaford.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, PO Box 72, Seaford, DE 19973. Arrangements are in the care of Cranston Funeral Home, Seaford.

OHS promotes pedestrian safety It’s proving to be a very dangerous year to those trying to walk near Delaware roadways says state Office of Highway Safety officials (OHS). Since Jan. 1, 16 pedestrians have died in traffic related crashes in Delaware which is three times higher than at this time last year.

That’s why highway safety officials are reminding pedestrians to be on alert for motorists when crossing the road and wear reflective clothing or carry a flashlight in low light or dark conditions.

Seventy-five percent of the pedestrian fatalities this year occurred in New Castle County with most happening on or around the areas of Route 7 and Route 13 in low light or dark conditions. Two fatalities occurred in Kent County; one in Dover and the other in Milford. Two also occurred in Sussex County; in Millsboro and Rehoboth. The common factors in the Kent and Sussex County fatalities are pedestrians walking along a high traffic roadway and not crossing at a marked intersections or crosswalks. A closer look at the statistics shows that almost every one of the 16 fatal pedestrian crashes, the pedestrian was at fault. Alcohol was a factor in two cases while the most common violation was the pedestrian stepping out into the path of a vehicle and not using a crosswalk or marked intersection. OHS officials are also concerned with pedestrians’ inattentiveness to traffic and their surroundings while using IPods, texting on cell phones, or using other electronic devices that create a

distraction while walking or jogging.

By following these basic safety tips and pedestrian laws, everyone can learn to Walk Smart.

• Cross only at crosswalks or intersections with signals or traffic signs. Look left, right and left again, and only start to cross when it’s clear.

• Do not risk crossing outside of a crosswalk or intersection just because it’s more convenient, especially on high speed roadways. Cars cannot stop in time for you.

• Use sidewalks. If there’s no sidewalk, walk facing traffic and as far off the edge of the road as possible.

• Do not step into a crosswalk if it will create a hazard to motorists. • When it is clear to cross, continue to watch for traffic while crossing the street until you have safely reached the other side.

• Carry a flashlight or other reflective item when walking at night. It’s the law.

• Do not hitchhike.

• Teach children not to run into the

street after balls and don’t allow them to cross alone until you’ve practiced the basics with them hundreds of times.

• Do not walk under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Impaired walking is like impaired driving; it is illegal and can be deadly.

• If your vehicle breaks down on an interstate or busy roadway, don’t leave your vehicle. Instead call #77 or 911 for assistance. Motorists can also call #77 to report a disabled vehicle they see on the roadways. If you are driving, be on the lookout for pedestrians near the roadway.

OHS is also continuing the “Walk Smart” awareness campaign in August and October with bus transit ads and sidewalk stencils to remind pedestrians to “Cross This Way” at marked intersections.

Being involved in your child’s education is important for success

By Dr. Anthony Policastro I have often indicated how important parents are to their children’s education.

Children get a report card four times a year to let them know how they are doing.

Perhaps parents need to get a report card as well.

There are several subjects that are important for parents to be involved in related to their children’s education.

The first subject is “Homework.” This is clearly an important role for parents.

A grade of “A” should be given if homework is a joint assignment with the parent involved. A grade of “C” should be given if homework is done by the student and checked by the parent. (Remember that C is average and therefore a good grade). A grade of “F” should be given if parents do not pay any attention to homework.

The second subject is “Parent-Teacher Conference.” Interacting with your child’s teacher is important for several reasons.

It keeps the lines of communication open and lets you know what is going on. It also

gives you the chance to discuss concerns with the teacher. A grade of “A” should be given if you attend all those that are scheduled and contact the teacher in between as necessary. A grade of “C” should be given if you keep those that are scheduled but have no other contact. A grade of “F” should be given if you do not attend the conferences.

The third subject is “Setting the Example.” Children learn more by seeing what you do than by listening. Parents need to show children that school and school activities are important. A grade of “A” should be given if you are active in the Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO), attend your child’s school activities and attend other school activities. A grade of “C” should be given if you do at least two of the three. A grade of “F” should be given if you do not attend any of the activities.

The fourth subject is “Out of School Learning During the School Year.” This is related to teaching your child over and

above what is done in the classroom. It involves things such as giving your child an allowance to learn about money, reading to your child at night, having your child read to you, teaching your child a hobby, enrolling your child in a sport and enrichment classes of other types. It also involves visits to educational events such as a visit to the Salisbury Zoo or the Ross Mansion. A grade of “A” should be given if you do these kinds of things on a daily basis. A grade of “C” should be given if you do these kinds of things on a weekly basis. A grade of “F” should be given if you do not do these kinds of things.

The fifth subject is “Out of School Learning During the Summer.” While there is no formal class during the summer, there are multiple learning opportunities. These are the same kinds of things that are useful during the school year.

However, during the summer they become more important because there are no additional learning opportunities going on in school. Thus, it is more of a challenge

to the parents. A grade of “A” should be given if these things happen several times a week during the summer. A grade of “C” should be given if they happen several times a month. A grade of “F” should be given if they do not happen at all during the summer.

The sixth subject is “Screen Time.” It is a known fact that time spent with TV, video games and Internet does not improve learning. A grade of “A” should be given if there is less than two hours of screen time only on non-school days. A grade of “C” should be given if there is 1-2 hours of screen time every day. A grade of “F” should be given if there is more than 2 hours of screen time per day or more than 14 hours per week.

Once you give yourself a full report card, it will give you the chance to decide where you can improve your efforts in educating your children. Many of these items are not directly related to the school so the burden lies solely on the parents to provide the education that their children need.

Annual Heart Walk October 2 Just a few months ago, doctors discovered an atrial septal defect in the heart of five-year-old Emily Carpenter. The wall separating the upper chambers of Emily’s heart had a hole measuring approximately 2.5 centimeters.

“We were shocked. We were scared,” said Kristen Perrego, who is Emily’s mother and is also an Operating Room nurse at Bayhealth – Kent General Hospital.

It was an agonizing decision for Perrego and her husband, as they had the option of allowing invasive open heart surgery on their daughter, or choosing a less invasive interventional procedure in which a metal mesh implant would be placed into the hole through a catheter that would be inserted through Emily’s thigh, up her artery, and into her heart. The interventional procedure did not require surgeons to open up her chest, but it carried other risks.

“The doctors told us that the interventional procedure had a 50 percent chance of success and the implant itself could damage Emily’s heart tissue and create other issues,” said Perrego.

So, on June 24, Emily underwent open heart surgery. Surgeons sewed a patch over the hole in her heart and, in spite of some minor complications, the feisty Dover girl made a quick recovery. Just six days after her surgery, she returned home

to play with her toys and run outside.

Today, Emily Carpenter is an active pre-kindergarten student who enjoys playing house with the other kids at the Bayhealth Child Care Center in Dover.

She has also taken on an important role as the “new face” of the Bayhealth Heart Walk team for the upcoming American Heart Association Heart Walks in Kent and Sussex Counties.

“Emily has inspired people to join the Heart Walk. Proceeds from the AHA 2010 Heart Walk will go towards research which may someday benefit patients just like Emily,” said Kim Holmes, MSN, RN, who is the captain of the Bayhealth – Kent General Hospital Heart Walk Team.

Walkers from the Bayhealth – Kent General Hospital Heart Walk Team will participate in the Kent County Heart Walk on Saturday, Sept. 18, at Mirror Lake in Dover. Walkers from the Bayhealth – Milford Memorial Hospital Heart Walk Team will participate in the Sussex County Heart Walk on Saturday, Oct. 2, at Delaware Technical and Community College in Georgetown.

MORNING STAR • AuGuST 12-18, 2010

Use a realtor to assist you with all your real estate transactions

By Judy Dean

President, Sussex County Association of Realtors

As the American economy continues to endure historic challenges, and with household budgets feeling the pinch here on Delmarva, many homeowners are finding it more and more tempting to put their homes on the market without the help of a qualified real estate professional.

It’s understandable and the reasons for doing so have never been more crystal clear – in this economy, every single hardearned dollar means a lot more than it did even 10 years ago.

But while saving those realtors’ commissions may seem like the prudent thing to do, it may not always be the best choice.

I suggest you think things through before making a decision that could be one of the biggest you will ever make.

While its true that selling a home through a realtor appears to be more expensive, at least at first glance, it’s also a case of getting what you pay for. I’ve listed below a few examples of what we at the Sussex County Association of Realtors can provide that you quite simply can’t on your own: • Financing. Of all the challenges the

Sunday

real estate market has endured in the last 12 to 18 months, the most difficult revolves around financing, and how to obtain it. Realtors are aware of the constantly changing mortgage qualifications and track the progression of every loan throughout the buying process. They often contact the loan officer on a daily basis, checking on the status of your home loan.

• Multiple Listing Service. When you list a home with a real estate professional, your home is included on the county’s Multiple Listing Service. That means that every real estate office in Sussex County is provided with information on your home.

The MLS at the Sussex County Association of Realtors is also syndicated nationally; local listings from Sussex County appear on multiple websites throughout the country, giving you even more exposure.

• Market saturation. No matter which part of the county your home is located in, realtors can advertise your property from Rehoboth to Seaford and everywhere in between by utilizing the Multiple Listing Service and the countywide network of realtors. For anything close to the same coverage, you would need to buy a large display advertisement in every newspaper

in the county.

• Current laws. One of the most important jobs of any realtor is to remain up to date on any and all laws that affect the communities where they work. In collaboration with the Delaware Association of Realtors, we pride ourselves on staying on top of the state’s legislative issues, particularly those that affect real estate. If there’s a law that has, or will, affect our area, we’re sure to know about it.

• Zoning issues. Learning how a property is currently zoned is easy enough, but discovering what issues are due to be considered by local, county and state officials is another thing entirely. Realtors know what is on the agendas of many of our area’s legislative boards and bodies, and we can warn you if there are issues to be concerned with.

• Potential development issues. Consider this scenario – you recently bought a house that is next to a whole lot of wideopen Sussex County farmland. Shortly after moving in, the construction begins and you realize that, for the next several years, one of the largest housing developments ever in the area will be going in next door.

That’s the kind of thing realtors are aware

of, and could have advised you of during the home buying process.

• Disclosures/Agreements. When you buy or sell a home through a member realtor of SCAOR, there are certain agreements and disclosure forms that are part of the buying and selling process. These are to make sure that everyone, on both sides, is protected and that there are no misunderstandings later. Some of these items could be missed if going it alone.

Simply put, a realtor can provide you with the type of service that no one else can – not even yourself.

Yes, it might appear to be more expensive, but take the time to really consider what you’re getting for your money. Your home will almost certainly sell faster and for a higher price if you utilize the services a qualified realtor can provide, and you’ll be protected from unforeseen issues that could arise later on.

I may be a little biased, but I think you’ll be much happier in the long run if you allow one or all of us at SCAOR to give you a helping hand. If you’d like to learn more about the services offered at the Sussex County Association of Realtors, visit our website at www.scaor.com.

Entertainment AFRAM Festival’s Hip-Hop Hour begins 4:30 Saturday afternoon The Eastern Shore AFRAM Festival, Inc. announces its R&B entertainment schedule for this year’s AFRAM Festival, held in Nutter Park, Seaford.

The R&B/Hip-Hop Hour @ AFRAM begins at 4:30 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 14.

Featured artists are Jagwire Lexis, Rita Carol, Armah Ogund’e and Toby Hughes.

Jagwire Lexis is a well-known Haitian rapper in the local area. He is a commodity around Delaware State University, University of Delaware and University of Maryland Eastern Shore. He is also a huge asset to the Haitian community in the area, hosting and performing in countless shows, events and parties. Jagwire’s first solo project, “The Revolution,” sold nearly 10,000 copies. Jagwire is now releasing “NoE ViziTaTion,” and a Haitian album, “Yon Chante Pou Moun Mwen.”

Rita Carol Godwin, born in Philadelphia, Pa., has been singing since she was a young child. As Rita traveled up and down the east coast, music played a major part in her life.

Maryland’s Armah Ogund’e has been practicing his craft with full dedication to the underground music scene and has teamed up with New Struggle Muzik Group, Maryland’s leading independent underground record label. His new album, “GET 2 KNOW ME,” is now available.

The Eastern Shore AFRAM Festival is under the direction of Seaford City Councilwoman and Eastern Shore AFRAM Executive Director Pat A. Jones.

The festival will be held from Aug. 1214 at Nutter Park near Chandler Heights in Seaford.

This year’s theme is derived from the principle of “Umoja” (Unity).

Eastern Shore AFRAM is the largest African-American heritage festival in Sussex County.

Last year, more than 2,500 visitors from Delmarva, neighboring states, and as far away as San Diego, Calif. attended this extraordinary three day event.

The Laurel Senior League all-star softball team opened World Series play with a 1-0 win over USA East last Sunday in Roxana. Laurel starter Logan Green, supported by a strong defensive effort, earned the win in a pitcher’s duel against East pitcher Vittoria Adams.

“I put my butterflies away and I said ‘you can do this,” said Green, who pitched two innings in the championship game last year. “I was really excited (after the last out).”

Laurel’s Kristen Collins collected the first hit of the game in the bottom of the second with a leadoff single. Collins moved to second following a bunt by Bree Venables as Adams’ errant throw to second put a pair of runners on base.

Nicole Ullman moved the runners up with a sacrifice bunt and Collins came home on Alison Pusey’s hard hit ball to the second baseman which was ruled an error. Pusey was thrown out at second and Venables was out at the plate on an attempted double steal, ending the inning.

Logan Green sent East (Haverstraw, N.Y.) down in order for the third straight

inning in the top of the third and also recorded her third strikeout of the game.

The two pitchers kept rolling through the fourth inning.

East threatened in the top of the fifth as Adams hit a Alison Pusey two-out single for team’s first hit of the game, but Green got a strikeout to end the threat. Adams stranded a Laurel runner on base in the bottom of the inning as Ullman singled and moved to second on a passed ball, but was left on base following a pair of strikeouts by Adams.

In the top of the sixth, Taylor Corretjer picked up her team’s second hit with a bunt single with two away before Laurel catcher Erin Johnson threw her out trying to steal second to end the inning.

Logan Green allowed no runs and three hits and struck out five in the complete game win in the Laurel Senior League softball team’s win over USA East last weekend.

Delmar 9-10 softball all-star team represents Maryland District 8

The Delmar 9-10 all-star softball team, representing Maryland District 8, traveled to Perryville, Md., on July 17 to participate in the Maryland State Tournament. This was the first all-star experience for seven of these girls, while six had played on the 2009 allstar team.

During practice, the girls were told to not be surprised if they were asked to play several different positions along their journey. All that we coaches asked was that they try their best.

The girls indeed were asked to play several different positions while in Perryville, and they did a fantastic job. Thanks to good pitching (36 strikeouts in four games), key defensive plays, and excellent run production (23 runs scored versus 13 runs allowed), Delmar began the tournament 1-0 but fell short of the state title finishing runner-up to Perryville District 5. Delmar’s two losses both came at the hands of Perryville: a 5-4 loss and a 4-3 loss (Delmar had eliminated Perryville in the 2009 tournament). The Delmar girls played their hearts out and were a true representation of what it means to play as a team. Before leaving for their journey, the girls participated in a team building task of filling a small container with some dirt from our home field in Delmar. Once the bottle was filled, the team read a softball player’s prayer.

As in past traditions, the team shouted a couple of chants to boost their morale, but what made it different this year was that the team brought along some “Delmar Dirt” to hold or touch when they were chanting. The Towns of Delmar can be proud of these girls and how they handled themselves on and off the field. It was truly a pleasurable experience, and I am thankful to have had the opportunity to work with the assistant coaches and with these girls.

PUZZLE SOLUTIONS

Senior softball continued Laurel had a chance to add some insurance runs in the bottom of the inning as Kelsey Willey and Bethany Wheatley each hit two-out singles, but Wheatley was caught in a rundown to end the inning.

East’s Destiney Jones hit a two-out single and moved up on a wild pitch in her team’s final at-bat. Willey snared a liner for the final out to seal the 1-0 Laurel win.

“The first win’s always big, it’s a big monkey off your back. She (Green) did a phenomenal job,” Laurel manager Kenny Willey said. “I like being the underdog because you’re not expected to do anything.

All the pressure’s on the other team.”

Collins led the way with a hit and a run, Pusey drove in the lone run, and Green allowed no runs and three hits and struck out five in seven innings. Willey, Wheatley, and Ullman also chipped in with hits in the victory.

Browning, Pettyjohn wins Twin 20’s at Delaware International

By Alison Byram Odds were high for a female driver winning one of the Twin 20 events, as Amanda Whaley and Staci Warrington started in the top two positions in the first 20-lap A Main Event. Whaley took the early lead with challenges from Warrington and veteran, Hal Browning. Warrington took the second position from Browning and was fixed to the rear bumper of Whaley. Kerry King was on the move, got under Browning and took the third position.

The top five had broken away from the rest of the field, as second place runner Warrington spun in the turns one and two corners, and had to forfeit her position for the rear.

On the restart, Whaley remained the leader, as Donald Lingo, Jr., Kerry King and Rob Schirmer had a three-way battle for third.

By lap eight, Whaley maintained the lead, with Browning beginning to make challenges on the bottom of the track. At the same time, Lingo, Jr., had caught up to the back bumper of Browning.

On lap 12, the field stacked up single file for the restart with Whaley leading the field. Kenny Pettyjohn who started in the eighth position, passed King for fourth. On the next circuit, Browning got underneath Whaley as well as Lingo, closing the gap on Browning. Whaley went high and Browning and Lingo both took the top two spots.

The top five were now Browning, Lingo, Pettyjohn, King, and Derricke Hill. On lap 16, Lingo slowed on the backstretch bringing out the caution flag, handing over the second position spot to Pettyjohn.

The field lined up single file for a four lap showdown. Pettyjohn went to the top of the racetrack challenging Browning for the top position, but could not close the deal. Behind the leader, David Pettyjohn, Ray Davis and Mark Byram had a three car battle for the fifth position.

Kenny Pettyjohn could not overcome Browning, who took the checkered flag with Kenny Pettyjohn, King, Hill, and Davis rounding out the top five.

For the second 20-lap Feature event for the super late models, the field was inverted from the last running car in the first event, placing Mike Parsons on the pole and Browning starting towards the rear, with exception of Lingo, Jr., and Bryan Driver who did not finish the first event and would start at the rear. Lingo raced cousin Dale Lingo’s super late model in the second event due to mechanical failure in his family-owned No. 55L. Mark Pettyjohn took the early lead from Parsons with Ross Robinson following in third. Kenny Pettyjohn was the man on the move, taking a liking to the topside of the track and passing multiple cars per lap. By lap five, Kenny Pettyjohn had worked his way to the fourth position.

On lap six, the first caution flag flew with Davis making a right hand turn to the pits for a flat tire. On the restart, Kenny Pettyjohn went to the top, and passed his brother, Mark, with ease. On the next circuit, Parsons spun coming out of turn two and collected a variety of cars, including Browning, Robinson, Byram, and Donald Lingo, Jr., who maintained speed throughout the caution and was able to remain in his respected position.

When the green flag waved, Warrington quickly pounced on Mark Pettyjohn, as Pettyjohn fought back in the next corner to retake the second position. Lingo, Jr., followed in suit and took the third position. Meanwhile, Kenny Pettyjohn had developed a half straightway lead.

On lap 12, the caution flag flew again for Robinson slowing in turns one and two.

The cars lined up for a single-file restart, as Kenny Pettyjohn began working on stretching out his lead. David Pettyjohn and Davis made it a three-wide battle with David Hill for the fifth position.

On the backstretch, Byram and Derrike Hill made contact, with Hill ultimately spinning in turns three and four, collecting Browning. On the restart, Mark Pettyjohn made a last bid challenge, getting under Kenny Pettyjohn, and Donald Lingo, Jr. Kenny Pettyjohn maintained the lead with Mark Pettyjohn, Lingo, Warrington, and King following in the top five.

With two laps remaining, Kenny Pettyjohn had developed a comfortable lead. The battle was for seventh, as David Pettyjohn, Schirmer, David Hill, and Byram battled four-wide. Kenny Pettyjohn took the checkered flag with brother Mark Pettyjohn following in second and Lingo, Jr., Warrington, and Davis beating King to the line. Pettyjohn dedicated his victory to Mr. Dryden, a long time track supporter and photographer. Heat races were won by Browning and Warrington.

Laurel answered with two runs in the top of the third. Logan Green had an infield single, Bethany Wheatley reached first on an error, and Kristen Collins walked. Venables reached first on an error which allowed Green and Wheatley to score before Collins was thrown out at third to end the inning.

Green worked a 1-2--3 third inning, notching her fourth and fifth strikeouts of the game. Green had two more strikeouts and catcher Erin Johnson threw out a runner trying to steal second in the fourth inning.

Laurel added to its lead in the fifth as Green walked, Kelsey Willey reached on an error, Whealey delivered an RBI groundout, Collins singled in a run, Johnson drew a bases loaded walk to plate Venables (fielderís choice), and Nicole Ullman (hit by pitch) scored on a passed ball 7-1.

Green allowed one run on three hits and struck out seven in four innings before giving way to Venables.

Alison Pusey had two hits, Green and Willey each added one hit and two runs, Venables doubled and scored a run, and Collins contributed one hit and one RBI. Sara Jo Whaley and Ullman scored one run each and Wheatley chipped in with a run and an RBI.

Popular luggage shipping options

STATE FIRE PROMOTION - The Delaware State Fire Marshal’s Office and the State Fire School participated in the Delaware State Fair. Representatives from each organization manned a booth answering questions about their agencies, fire safety and general safety issues. The Fire School participated in the evening parade on three nights to promote this year’s upcoming Fire Prevention Week. The theme this year is “Beep, a sound you can live with.” Banners were placed on the Fire School trailer along with appearances

by Firefighter Ed U. Cator and “Detecta” the smoke alarm (shown here). The State Fair traditionally kicks off the promotion of Fire Prevention Week.

Travelers can ease air travel burdens this summer with three luggage shipping alternatives, including a new luggage box that takes the place of a suitcase, to help reduce hassles of long lines, security searches and increasing baggage fees.

“Not having to carry a suitcase while traveling is a great convenience. Even better is luggage awaiting your arrival at a destination or hotel,” said Laura Rogers The UPS Store owner. “You can ship your luggage as is; place it in a box for shipment, or purchase a luggage box, eliminating the need for a suitcase altogether.”

When shipped, the luggage box is competitively priced with the airlines’ baggage fees, especially when compared to the major airlines, many of which are charging well over $100 for comparable baggage.

Additionally, members of the Automobile Association of America (AAA) can receive a 15 percent discount off the full retail price of The UPS Store eligible products and services and five percent off domestic U.S. UPS shipping costs.

The luggage box comes in two sizes, large and small; has a sturdy handle for easy carrying, and is made of recyclable corrugate. Because it weighs less than an empty suitcase, packing directly into the box can help lower shipping costs. Travelers also can include packaging tape and a return UPS shipping label for use when returning home.

“Luggage shipping picked up when the

airlines began increasing fees for checked bags and carry-ons,” Rogers added.

Both luggage boxes meet airline baggage restrictions for travelers opting to fly with their belongings. The small box can be carried on and the large box can be checked in, minimizing the chance of paying airline oversize or overweight charges. The luggage boxes have been professionally tested.

Luggage solutions from The UPS Store also allow travelers to easily track shipments with UPS mobile apps for cell phones, PDAs or other web-enabled wireless devices or receive e-mail shipment notification.

Travelers can visit the online cost calculator to research the most economical shipping option. Planning ahead allows travelers to choose a less expensive shipping option like UPS Ground service. Additional information to consider when planning to ship luggage includes: • Oversized items, such as skis, golf clubs and fishing poles, are items travelers would prefer to have waiting at their destination, • Because of the duties and taxes associated with international shipments, luggage shipment is not recommended for international travel.

• Federal Aviation Administration restrictions prohibits airline passengers from shipping hazardous materials, including colognes and perfumes, aerosol sprays, nail polish and cigarette lighters via air.

Police Journal Two arrested in home invasion

Delaware State Police have charged Brandon Rust, 35, of Farmington and Abel Murray, 22, of Greenwood, in connection with a home invasion.

The incident happened just after 7 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 6, when Rust and Murray allegedly entered the home of a 39-yearold female on Sharps Mill Road in Greenwood.

The two were wearing disguises and one of the men was armed with a baseball bat. One of the suspects held the victim to the ground while the second one rummaged through the house and removed cash and approximately 140 pills of Oxycodone before fleeing. The suspects fled north on Sharps Mill Road. The victim attempted to follow the pair but was unable.

Troopers found evidence linking Rust and Murray to the crime. Both men were taken into custody later that evening.

Rust was charged with second degree burglary, possession of a deadly weapon during the commission of a felony, wearing a disguise during the commission of a felony, second degree conspiracy and possession of a deadly weapon by a person prohibited. He was committed to the Department of Correction in default of $60,000 cash bail.

Murray was charged with second degree burglary, wearing a disguise during the commission of a felony and second degree conspiracy. He was committed to the Department of Correction in default of $58,000 cash bail.

Delaware State Police is seeking the public’s help in apprehending a domestic violence fugitive, Kendall M. Johnson, 30, of Seaford.

On Monday, July 12, Johnson and the victim were involved in a verbal altercation over a family matter. The victim alleged Johnson placed her in a choke hold during an argument which caused the victim’s nose to bleed. The victim was able to break away from Johnson and lock herself inside her car parked in the driveway. During the process of fleeing, the victim’s shirt was ripped by Johnson.

Upon the troopers arrival, Johnson fled from the residence and has not been located. Troopers obtained an arrest warrant consisting of one charge of strangulation, third degree assault and criminal mischief under $1,000 damage. Johnson is believed to frequent the Laurel and Seaford area.

Two arrested for robbery

Delaware State Police state troopers have arrested two men for taking money and then seriously injuring a woman during a robbery at her residence on Shawnee Road in Milford, on Sunday, Aug. 1 at 2 a.m.

The 23-year-old victim befriended the two suspects, Joshua Veach, 25, of Milford and Dennis Johnson II, 28, of Harrington, and the trio went to the victim’s home. The victim went upstairs for a brief time, came down and discovered money missing from her purse. Veach denied taking the money after the victim confronted him. The victim noticed that Johnson was outside and confronted him. An altercation ensued between Johnson and the victim.

During the altercation between the two, Veach entered a black vehicle and began to back out on Shawnee Road. As Veach was backing out, Johnson entered the passenger side of the car. The victim was able to open the rear passenger side door in an attempt to get in the car to retrieve her money. Veach quickly accelerated causing the victim to fall out of the car to the ground.

The victim was able to get to a neighbor’s house where emergency responders transported her to Milford Memorial Hospital. Her injuries were so severe she was flown to Christiana Hospital near Newark where she was admitted with a severe contusion to her entire left side, brain bleed and loss of vision in her left eye.

During the investigation, troopers learned that the three were in the Harrington Raceway and Casino. Troopers assigned to the Division of Gaming Enforcement were able to obtain video that assisted in identifying the suspects.

On August 5, troopers arrested Veach at his home and charged him with second degree assault and first degree reckless endangering. He was committed to Sussex Correctional Institution in lieu of $7,000 bail. On August 6, troopers arrested Johnson at his home in Harrington. He was taken back to Sussex County and charged with first degree robbery and second degree conspiracy. He was also committed to

SCI in default of $11,000 bail. The State Attorney General’s Office will look at amending Veach’s charges to robbery and conspiracy during a Grand Jury hearing.

Troopers recovered evidence implicating the two in the robbery.

Police arrest suspect

On August 5, Harrington Police received a tip about the location of Taquen G. Owens, 16, of Greenwood, who was wanted for an incident involving a dispute with his father on June 25.

Five State troopers and two Harrington officers responded to an apartment unit at 4 West Liberty St., Harrington. Officers took Owens into custody without incident.

Owens and his father engaged in a verbal argument outside the family’s home over a dispute involving the suspect’s girlfriend. At the conclusion of this initial argument, Taquen left. A short time later, the suspect returned. Taquen and his father then engaged in another argument. It has been alleged that Taquen pulled a handgun from his waistband and shot his father several times striking him in the head and stomach. Taquen then fled the scene.

The victim was ultimately flown to Christiana Hospital, from Milford, and has been released and is recovering from the gunshot wound.

Owens was remanded to James T. Vaughn Correctional Center on $31,000 secured bond. Charges include first degree attempted murder, possession of a deadly weapon during the commission of a felony and possession of a deadly weapon by person prohibited.

to put in our refrigerator and then come back as she needed to use the food.

Miss Addie would also come over at night and sit with my grandmother in the guise of keeping her company. I am not sure that was the actual intent as Miss Addie would routinely fall asleep sitting in the chair next to grandmom within the first few minutes of arriving. Grandmom, who was blinded by eye tumors, knew when Miss Addie would fall asleep because she could hear her snoring. But, like clockwork, Miss Addie would come back to visit Grandmom the next night and share with her how she had not gotten any sleep the night before.

I do recall a major testing of the friendship bond between neighbors came when Miss Addie came over to retrieve her pickle loaf lunch meat from our refrigerator to make a sandwich for lunch. The pickle loaf was missing and a grand inquisition ensued. What today seems like a minor issue took on massive emotional frustrations.

My older brother Tommy only ate bologna and hated the thought of any meat that would contain bits of pickles (and who knows what else?). My younger brother Jeff was not even eating solid food at that point. To make matters worse my mother

was acutely aware that I absolutely loved pickle loaf lunchmeat. So, suffice to say, all eyes fell on me immediately. I was greatly persecuted over the alleged theft of the pickle loaf lunch meat.

So great was the circumstantial evidence against me, that I even started thinking that I possibly stole the pickle loaf in my sleep.

I think Mom bought Miss Addie another package of pickle loaf and made great apologies, I am sure, about the “greedy little heathen” who could not respect the sanctity of someone else’s pickle loaf.

It was a very emotional experience for me, realizing that there was no way to prove my innocence.

Back in those days there was no such thing as DNA testing. However, just a few days later I received my relief when while cleaning and defrosting the refrigerator, Mom pulled out one of the meat trays and down in the lower rear part of the refrigerator was Miss Addie’s missing package of pickle loaf.

There is little more satisfying than the attention and adoration you received once you have been wrongly accused by your elders of a wrongdoing. It was more than worth the emotional strain of being wrongly accused.

Our elected officials are ignoring the threats from climate change Consider the following: According to the National ynn arks Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the planet has just come ..the blizzards are through the warmest decade, the warmest 12 months, the warmest just part of the extreme six months, and the warmest April, May, and June on record. precipitation events Nine nations have so far set that are becoming more their all-time temperature records in 2010, including Russia (111 deand more common grees), Niger (118), Sudan (121), Saudi Arabia and Iraq (126 in both), and Pakistan, which also Parts of our peninsula are experiencing set the new all-time record in May: a hair crop-killing drought; other sections of the under 130 degrees.

McKibben urges us to turn our anger into action. “We need to tell the truth, resolutely and constantly,” he says in his posting. “Fossil fuel is wrecking the one earth we’ve got. If we want a world that works, we’re going to have to raise our voices.”

Well, consider my voice raised. For whatever good it will do, I’m urging our politicians, national, state and local, to read about climate change, to understand it and to act to protect us from it.

If nothing is done, if climate change continues unabated, government, whether large or small, will be utterly incapable of protecting us from the consequences.

Gas Lines

After experiencing remarkably consistent gas prices throughout the summer (within a 5-cent range of $2.70$2.75 since May 28), motorists were greeted by a spike in prices last week.

Crude Oil Prices Crude oil finally broke through the key psychological $80 a barrel mark last week, trading at a three-month high of near $83 a barrel a week ago Monday.

A weaker U.S. dollar, increased consumer spending, demand increases and the forecast for an active hurricane season all contributed to the recent spike in crude oil prices.

However, a jump in jobless data and Labor Department pegging unemployment at 9.5%, sent prices retreating later in the week to close $80.70 a barrel Friday.

1 pound orecchiette (ear-shaped pasta) 1 pound Golden Grape or cherry tomatoes (scant 4 cups), halved 7 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided 1/3 cup chopped fresh mint plus sprigs for garnish 1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro plus sprigs for garnish 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 15 1/2-ounce can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained, patted dry 6 ounces feta cheese, coarsely crumbled (about 1 1/2 cups) Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain.

Meanwhile, combine tomatoes, 6 tablespoons olive oil, chopped mint, green onions, chopped cilantro, and garlic in large bowl. Season to taste with salt.

Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat.

Add garbanzo beans and sauté until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add garbanzo beans and pasta to tomato mixture in bowl; toss to coat. Add feta; toss briefly. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with mint and cilantro sprigs. Serve warm or let stand at room temperature up to 2 hours.

(Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.)

Market tip: Golden Grape tomatoes are sweet, orange-colored cherry tomatoes.

They are available at many supermarkets and farmers’ markets this time of year.

A look ahead “Last week we saw crude oil trade above the $80-mark for the first time since early May, coupled with recent gasoline demand increases, and that has translated to slight increases in pump prices,” said Jana L. Tidwell, acting manager of Public and Government Affairs for AAA Mid-Atlantic.

“Over the next four weeks, leading up to Labor Day and the unofficial end of summer, motorists may experience the high end of gas prices for the remainder of 2010 as fuel prices tend to decline sharply during the months of September and October.”

Local pricing On Tuesday gas stations from Delmar to Greenwood were selling regular gasoline in a range from $2.599 to $2.739 a gallon. The high is up one penny in a week, the low up five cents. higher.

MORNING STAR • AuGuST 12 - 18, 2010

Supporting third parties

In last week’s Star frequent contributor Frank Calio addressed the futility of voting for 3rd party candidates.

On a purely practical basis, Frank, you have a point. However, in times such as these, citizens must vote their conscience to promote real change.

In the past two years, your Democratic Party has been hijacked by a radical progressive and his even more radical supporters. It is no longer the party of Harry Truman or Jack Kennedy. It has become the party of Saul Alinsky and William Ayers.

It is a party that has taken over a sizable portion of the economy, think General Motors, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and health care. It is a party that supports open borders and even fights a sovereign state in court, while ignoring sanctuary cities that flaunt opposition to Federal law.

Before you retaliate, I realize George W. Bush was not much better. This letter is about principles, not party.

The Democratic Party is now led by President Barack Obama, who has openly criticized his nation in foreign capitals.

He has belittled our history, believing our country was not worthy prior to his administration. He must have listened to his wife, Michelle, who only now is proud of her country.

Frank, you are critical of the Tea Party movement. These loosely knit patriots are driven by their belief in our Constitution and limited government, not party loyalty.

I know they don’t fit the organizational mold of Obama’s Chicago “community organizing,” labor unions, or Acorn. They are people who honestly care about our future.

Yes, I am a Republican. However, lately I have been turned off by my own party, which seems devoid of ideas.

The first successful Republican presidential candidate was Abraham Lincoln.

Ironically, he was elected only four years after his party, at that time a third party, was formed. These are times reminiscent of the 1850s, which require conscience, not party loyalty.

him. It has been a very enjoyable learning experience for him as our Lil’ Farmer. We wish to thank all of his loyal customers who visit his produce stand often.

However, the enjoyable part of this ended this past Sunday when he had to learn a hard lesson about theft and dishonest people.

On Sunday afternoon, (yes, a Sunday) in broad daylight, sometime between 12 noon and 7 p.m. someone stole a large amount of his produce, all of his money and even ripped off and stole the money container that was secured to his produce stand.

What kind of person would steal from a young child?!

If this person was truely in need, as Christians we would have been willing to help them. However, given the circumstances I highly doubt that such is the case. We would ask that whoever did this to return what you stole from him.

If anyone saw anything pertaining to this or if anyone has any information about this case, please contact me or the Delaware State Police.

Tax credits key to health reform

By Jayne Armstrong For decades, America’s small business owners have asked for more affordable health insurance coverage and more tax relief. The new health reform law – the Affordable Care Act – provides both.

First, it offers tax credits for small employers who pay at least half of their employees’ health insurance premiums.

Starting this year, businesses with less than 25 employees who make an average of $50,000 or less may be eligible for a credit of up to 35 percent of the premiums they pay on their employee’s behalf. For small nonprofits, it’s up to 25 percent.

In 2014, those credits will increase to up to 50 percent and 35 percent, respectively.

Also in 2014, health insurance “exchanges” for small businesses will open in every state.

Currently, small businesses pay as much as 18 percent more than large firms for the same coverage. The exchanges will allow businesses with as many as 100 employees to pool their risk together, lower their administrative costs and negotiate more effectively with insurance companies. According to the Congressional Budget Office, this could help drive down premiums by as much as four percent in the marketplace of small-business health plans.

The tax credits and the exchanges are just two of the new tools that will help small businesses get health insurance, some for the first time.

Maryanne Murray, director of Griswold Special Care, a Newark-based non-medical care provider for the elderly and disabled with 15 employees, believes the tax credit will have an enormous impact on her small business.

Over the past five years she has seen her premiums increase 30 percent each year. Although she continues to pay 100 percent of the premiums for her employ-

ees, she had to shift some of the expenses to them by increasing the deductible. The tax credit will reduce her costs which she can pass on to her employees by reducing their out of pocket expenses.

Even if a small business owner with 50 or fewer employees still decides not to buy health insurance with these incentives, there is no penalty. They’re exempt from the employer responsibility provision of the new law. In this case, small business workers will be able to use individual tax credits to shop for insurance in the exchanges. And it’s important to note that 96 percent of businesses with more than 50 employees already offer coverage.

The new law will go a long way toward strengthening America’s overall entrepreneurial spirit.

For example, it will outlaw pre-existing conditions, giving more Americans the ability to break out of “job lock” and start their own companies. Prospective entrepreneurs shouldn’t be held back just because they fear losing their employersponsored coverage. The new law will also prohibit insurance companies from dramatically increasing premiums for a small business just because one worker gets sick.

Overall, the Affordable Care Act is a critical tool that will help millions of small business owners provide health insurance to people who they often consider to be members of their extended family – their employees.

As a nation, we owe them nothing less as they work to grow, create jobs, and lead us toward full economic recovery.

Final Word

Give Laurel new schools

I am not writing this persuasive letter for recognition or even accolades. I am writing this for the safety of my peers and the future doctors, lawyers, and teachers educated in the Laurel School District.

Even though the Laurel School District provides world class learning, the buildings that we learn in today are not reasonable or suitable for learning.

Now, don’t get me wrong! We do learn and take orders from faculty and our wonderful members of the board, but the schools have things out of place.

For example: the ceilings are leaking, the floors are creaking. Yes, I know that the custodians and maintenance crews have a job to uphold and by far are doing a very good job.

This summer in the heat I decided to get a job where my learning began, at Paul Laurence Dunbar Elementary School, alongside a wonderful principal, Judy Noll.

In addition to the faculty and staff, we, as the students, support building new schools. This would give us a better environment to learn in with state-of-the-art technology.

We need new schools. We need schools with access to a better football field. We need a place when I walk down the hallway, it won’t crack or creak, a place where students from all races, ethnic groups, religions, would come to be part of a superior school system, the Laurel School District.

Please vote “Yes!” for the referendum.

More to being ‘saved’

I am a regular reader of the Seaford Star and enjoy your local news coverage.

I also enjoy the fact that you are willing to make a statement for your faith. Every week you have been running an ad which asks the question, “What Must I Do to be Saved?” It is a valid question that we all must, at some point in our lives, consider.

You do a good job of choosing verses from the Letter to the Romans that addresses much of the answer. All of the quoted verses are true and valid; they just do not tell the entire story as presented in the Bible. May I suggest that you have left out two important verses from Romans?

Romans 6: verses 3 and 4.

Verse 3: Or do you not know that as many of us were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?

Verse 4: Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

When the sinners on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2) first asked the question, “What must I do to be saved?” the Apostle Peter gave a much shorter answer. He told them in Acts 2:38, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”

If that answer was good enough for the Apostles, should it not be sufficient for us today?

Thoughts to ponder The following were submitted by Bob Wooten of New Bern, NC: I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring, but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What did you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone and run away?

I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
