For 12 hours last Saturday, the historic Ross Mansion played host to the inaugural Seaford Summer Music Festival, an eclectic event that included a little something for everyone.

There were games for the kids, activities for the adults, plenty of “grown-up beverages” of which to partake and lots and lots of good music.

The brainchild of Seaford residents Art Perdue and Tommy Morris, the festival was designed to give local bands a forum to display their talents.

It became much more than that

with bands from throughout the region participating.

“This festival is smaller than many we’ve been too but it’s in a really nice setting and it’s been done very professionally,” said Andy Hollaway, a member of the Salisbury “electronic jam band” Continuum.

“You never really know what you’re going to get when you go to these festivals, but this has been really great. We would definitely come back again next year if we were asked.”

Hundreds of music lovers visited the event in its first year, a warm response that Morris hopes will Continued to page four

A Key Leaders’ Healthy Luncheon, hosted by John Hollis, was held last week at Marina’s Restaurant in Blades.

The speaker was Debbie Chang, senior vice president of Nemours Health and Prevention Services.

The luncheon came two years to the day following a similar luncheon that launched the new Sussex County Health Promotion Collaborative.

Chang said that on October 2, Nemours Health and Prevention Services will launch a campaign to further drive home the message of eating healthy and exercising. Some famous puppets and a pirate will be introduced to catch the imagination of the youth.

Nemours Health and Prevention Services is a nonprofit organization that promotes positive change for children's health. NHPS has developed an easy way for children to learn and remember the basics about healthy eating and physical activity. Its most visible project is 5-2-1Almost None, which promotes: • 5 fruits and vegetables per day • 2 or fewer hours of screen time per day • One hour or more of physical activity per day • Almost no sugar-sweetened beverages (two or fewer per week) To support 5-2-1-Almost None, NHPS launched Nemours HealthyQuest Delaware, a new online mapping tool for families to help children grow up healthy.

Anyone can use HealthyQuest to access more than 700 nutrition, physical activity, and weight management resources for children. Go to www.Nemours.orgGrowUpHealthy or click on HealthyQuest.

The percentage of young people who are overweight has more than tripled in the last 20 years. About 35% of children in the U.S. are overweight or at risk for overweight.

In Delaware most parents think kids eat too much junk food and not enough healthy foods. Eighty-four percent of parents believe that children are not getting enough exercise. Children and youth spend at least four hours a day watching TV, sitting at the computer, or playing video games. The average youth is physically active for less than 20 minutes a day.

The Highview house saved and restored

by Jack V. Miller The recent demolition of the Greek Revival Lawrence home was truly a sad loss for Seaford. However, there was no way to save it after too many years of neglect. It might have been restored 10 or 15 years ago before ter-

mites, mold and dry rot simply ate the heart out of it.

The Seaford Historical Society tried to find a way to salvage the structure and move it over-land to the Ross Mansion property, but it simply wasn’t structurally sound enough to survive the move.

No Payments, No Interest For 12 Months | Sale Ends August 20

The above photo of the house is from an 1860 postcard. Below is the house now that it has been restored. The current owners Jack and Bernice are shown enjoying a carriage ride on their 50th wedding anniversary.

FUN ON THE FARM DAY SATURDAY, SEPT. 22

MORNING STAR • AUGUST 23 - 29, 2007

It made me realize how fortunate we were to acquire the original Caleb Ross “Country Estate” now known as Highview house…. just in time to save it.

This early Victorian mansion is located on a 3-acre estate, 2 miles north of Seaford, Delaware, on the east side of highway 13. The mansion actually faces Camp Road, which was known at the time as “Oyster Shell Highway” because it was paved with compacted oyster shells. The elegant home was once the social center of the area.

Archival records do not indicate a formal name for the estate, but the panorama from the fourth-story widow’s walk was said to be the highest view in Sussex County. Thus, the historic mansion has now been named “Highview House”.

The documented history of the plantation begins in 1790 with a land grant of 550 acres from Lord Baltimore to a farmer named John Robinson.

He built an early colonial home, shown on a hand-drawn map dated 1810, as a “dwelling plantation house”, with stable, outbuildings and slave quarters.

The property was owned by Robinson from 1790 to 1810, when it was sold to pay his debts. Caleb Ross, father of Delaware Governor William Ross, bought the property at the Sheriff’s auction.

The Ross family owned the home from 1810 until 1865.

The architectural features are early Victorian, an era that began in 1832. There was a large tax increase in 1836, suggesting that Caleb Ross substantially enlarged the home at that time as it was converted to an early English Victorian.

The property was sold to Isaac Giles in 1866. He died in 1883, leaving it to his sons, Tom and Isaac S. Giles. The postcard of the house with the lady in her buggy is believed to have been taken around 1860, prior to Giles’ ownership.

The mansion was sold by Giles’ heirs to Priscilla Roache in 1924 who rented rooms (with still-present deadlock bolts) to early DuPont executives. It stayed in the Roache family for 40 years and became a run-down wreck. J.T. “Tillie” Bryan, a local car dealer, bought the property in 1961. He built the Bryan Park development on part of the land. He renovated and sold the mansion to a tombstone dealer, George Mlyczek, who again let the beautiful home go

into disrepair. Old tombstones, now used as downspout splashes, gave rise to rumors the the house was haunted.

When the estate was purchased in 1998 by Jack Miller, his wife Bernice and their daughter Ruth Ellen Miller, extensive damage, both inside and outside, had been caused by decades of neglect. Rain from the leaking slate roof ran down through the attic inhabited by birds, inside the walls and into the water-soaked basement.

Many of the nails that once held the lath and plaster to the heavy, full 2 x 6 wall studs, were rusted off, so severelycracked walls hung loosely in sheets. Since the heavy cedar timbers were termite resistant, the Millers believed the house to be structurally sound enough to be restored to its original beauty.

Still, on the morning escrow closed, Bernice and Ruth Ellen sat on newspapers on the filthy stairs, looked at the mess and cried… as Jack worked in ankle-deep water in the basement to repair a burst water pipe.

The new owners, raced the calendar to save the house from next winter’s weather that would have completed the destruction of the once-elegant mansion. An intensive twoyear restoration project has was undertaken that actually cost more than the purchase price of the estate.

The project started with a thorough cleaning. A “hazmat” (hazardous matrials) team was hired, who literally used protective suits and breathing apparatus to clean mold and layers of bird droppings from the upper floors.

The restoration was carefully planned to bring the home back to its original beauty, while making it a livable family residence. Detailed blueprints were drawn to preserve the historic design while detailing changes to make it a more suitable family residence. Although the original kitchen was in the basement, a modern kitchen and walk-in pantry were built in the attached carriage house.

The Millers now enjoy living in their classic, six bedroom, five bathroom Victorian home. Highview House has six original (restored) fireplaces, each representing the style of a different country, but has the comfort of three high-efficiency air-conditioning systems with humidity control and electrostatic air filters. The beautiful “tiger-skinoak” stairway was restored,

along with its 10-foot-high stained glass window that needed a number of glass panels replicated to match the historic pattern, and one can hardly detect the three-floor elevator hiding behind historic doors.

The home is lighted with Victorian-era kerosene lamps, gas-lights and candelabra; all operating on fiber optic lighting systems invented and manufactured by Jack and Ruth Ellen.

The kitchen and library

have optional fluorescent lights above translucent luminous ceiling panels the Millers designed and made in classic Victorian “tin ceiling” styles.

The high-tech “historic” lighting, has no UV (UlraViolet) and no IR (InfraRed) energy to fade or damage décor or furnishings.

These lighting systems are used in many major historic buildings and museums, including the Seaford Museum known as one of the finest small museums in the country.

Music festival first for area Continued from page one

allow for more festivals in the coming years.

“I think people were surprised. I don’t think they expected such a quality program with quality musicians,” Morris said.

“There’s no doubt that this needs to be an annual event. I think people realize now that we can bring good music to the area.”

Throughout the grounds on Saturday, young people could be seen congregating, middle aged folks carrying on discussions and parents frolicking with their children.

It seemed an event for just about everyone.

“We’ve had a good time, we’ve really enjoyed the music,” said Ocean Pines resident Meghan Gorrera, who came to the event with some friends and her 5-year-old daughter. “The bands have all been really good; it’s a nice day and there’s lots of space for the kids to run around. The whole day has been very nice.”

Vernon and Lynda Holland made the trip from Dagsboro in Vernon’s 1968 candy apple red Chevrolet Camaro. As part of a small car show on the grounds, Vernon had a chance to show off his pride and joy as well as spend a fun-filled day with his wife listening to music.

“This was a fun day,” Vernon Holland said. “They had a good variety of music. I think that’s what made it so good. We definitely hope to come again.”

On the western end of the mansion grounds, Seaford artist Terry Palmer constructed a live graffiti wall to allow festival goers a chance to “express themselves.”

“I’ve been an artist all my life and I wanted to do a special rendition of the Ross Mansion,” Palmer said. “People like having something to write on. I think it’s coming together really nice.”

Featuring the Ross Mansion and portraying the festival, Morris is undecided on how to best utilize the work of art now that the festival is over.

“I’m not sure what we’re going to do with that. We may make and sell prints, but it’s not something we’re going to put money into in order to make more money,” Morris said. “Terry has been through a lot, but he’s truly a beautiful, beautiful person. I think the wall was a good touch.

The whole festival just has incredible potential.”

Shawn Hughes, from Chestertown, Md., contributes to the live graffiti wall during the Seaford Summer Music Festival last weekend at the Ross Mansion.

said he came to the festival for one reason – just to hear some good music.

“I heard about this when I was at Riverfest and I wanted to come over and check it out,” Sayler said. “They’ve had a very good variety of music, which is what I expected. I certainly have not been disappointed.”

In addition to Continuum, other local bands at the festival included Lower Case Blues from Rehoboth Beach, Minos Conway from Lewes, Chowderfoot from Seaford and Lefty Groove from Newark.

SOJA and Third Eye from Washington, D.C., also performed at the event.

Proceeds from the festival benefit the Delaware Charitable Music Association and the Trinity Foundation.

After expenses, Morris figures there won’t be a whole lot left over when all is said and done. Still, he hopes a small contribution to the two charities can be made.

“We had wanted to network the bands, hoping they could help each other out and I think we started that this year,” Morris said. “(As for the charities), the Delaware Charitable Music Association is a new organization that is definitely going to help musicians in the area and the Trinity Foundation is a Seaford organization that has well-established lines to local charities. We hope we can still give each of them something.”

Carper discusses Iraq, energy policy, health care and immigration reform

By Lynn R. Parks Sen. Tom Carper predicts a drawdown in the number of U.S. troops in Iraq by next year’s presidential election.

“A year from now, there are not going to be 150,000 troops in Iraq,” Delaware’s junior senator told about 20 members of the Greater Seaford Chamber of Commerce last week. “And a year from now, the troops that are there are going to be doing a different kind of job, mostly training and security.”

Carper spoke to the group Thursday during a lunch at Pizza King, Seaford. He was invited to speak by the chamber’s Economic Development Committee.

In response to a question about the war, Carper said that he had visited Iraq recently, and spoken with members of its fledgling government. He said that he told them that they have to develop a “sense of urgency” about fixing their country’s problems. “I told them that we’re not going to be patient forever,” he said. “But they seem unwilling or unable to make the tough decisions they have to make.”

Carper said that to get his point across, he compared the situation in Iraq to a basketball game. “You guys are playing late in the fourth quarter,” he said he told the government officials. “The shot clock is running and you guys are arguing over who’s going to take the next shot. Your time is running out.”

“Democracy is a hard way to govern,” Carper told the chamber members. “We still have trouble with it, and we’ve been doing it for more than two centuries. But they’ve got to make the tough decisions. If they are willing to make the decisions, we can help them succeed. If they are not willing, then heaven help them.”

Carper praised President Bush for, late in his presidency, paying some attention to issues surrounding energy conservation and climate change. “Our president has been kind of slow on the uptake,” he said. “He is waking up now, but I just wish it had happened sooner.”

Even so, Carper expressed optimism that the United States will find ways to decrease its consumption of fossil fuels. He praised the Senate’s recently-passed bill that would increase mileage requirements in cars by 40 percent by 2020, the first time that the country’s CAFÉ standards have been increased since 1975.

This fall, that bill will have to be reconciled with a House bill that requires that 15 percent of every utility’s power be generated AUTHENTIC MEXICAN

by renewable energy by 2020 and includes tax incentives for wind-energy production and purchases of plug-in hybrid cars.

He also praised research and development by the U.S. auto industry on ways to decrease fuel consumption, saying that such research will enable the Big Three to compete with auto manufacturers in other parts of the world.

Before starting his speech, Carper asked the people in the room what their major concerns are. Many said that they were worried about the escalating costs of health care.

Some, in light of the recent bridge collapse in Minneapolis, expressed concerns about the state of infrastructure in the United States, a few said that they were most concerned about the war in Iraq. State Rep. Dan Shore (R-Seaford) pointed out that the war and its $2 billion and climbing cost is limiting the country’s ability to address many of the problems people are worried about. “The war is having an impact on everything everybody has talked about here,” he said.

In response to people’s concerns about health care, Carper pointed to La Red, a federally-qualified health-care center in Georgetown, as an example of initiatives that can be taken to help people who do not have health care insurance. He also encouraged Bush to support the Senate’s effort to increase the scope of the federal SCHIP program, which provides health care to children who are not covered by Medicaid. Carper said that of the 9 million children who are eligible based on income levels for the program, only 3 million actually have coverage.

“One thing we need to do, and that we can do, is increase the SCHIP program,” he said.

In response to concerns about immigration, Carper expressed doubt that there will be any immigration reform bill passed during the Bush administration. He said that more has to be done to secure the country’s borders, including using unmanned aircraft to monitor popular crossing spots and installing radar to detect any motion along those spots.

As for the estimated 12 million illegal aliens who are already living in the United States, he rejected the idea of forcing them to leave the U.S., as well as the idea of giving them automatic legal status. Instead, he suggested a probationary status, through which illegal aliens, over a period of several years, could work toward legal status.

“If they have been here for a while, are willing to work and are willing to learn English, they could work their way toward some kind of legal status,” he said.

Business Rita’s names "The Great Blendini"

Pittsburgh resident and magician Kevin Hurley was officially named “The Great Blendini” by Rita’s Water Ice, the nation’s largest italian ice concept.

The 25-year-old competed against scores of other magicians of all ages and skill sets in an online contest hosted by Rita’s Water Ice to promote the company’s newest frozen treat, the Blendini.

The contest, which began in May, invited contestants to upload videos of themselves performing a magic trick for a chance to win. The winning video was selected based on the highest number of votes for that entry. To watch the winning video, visit http://ritasice.feedroom.com.

From professional illusionists manipulating money to float in thin air to toddlers pulling rabbits from their hats, the entries were imaginative.

Hurley’s video submission consisted of two illusions, both involving the disappearing and appearing of his assistants.

As "The Great Blendini," Hurley won a check for $1,000 and $500 in Rita's gift certificates.

Available in 25 flavors, the Blendini is a blend of Rita’s creamy Old Fashioned Frozen Custard, fresh Italian Ice and either crushed Oreo® Cookie pieces or Nilla® Wafer pieces.

Crisis Housing fundraising appeal

Annual Appeal Co-chairmen Drexel Davidson, CEO of Bad Hair Day Salon and Day Spa, and Toby Givens, president of Georgetown Chamber of Commerce, announce the annual fund raising campaign for Sussex Community Crisis Housing Services, Inc. The agency is embarking on its 26th year of serving the homeless throughout Sussex County. Without the support of local contributors the agency would not be able to maintain its facilities and provide employment and housing services to more than 300 individuals annually.

Homelessness can affect anyone. A catastrophic illness, an ugly divorce, an addiction, or loss of job can leave people without the basic needs of food and shelter. And often, innocent children are affected by these circumstances.

The agency provides emergency housing through The Crisis House, Northport

Meet Your Fire Service Volunteers Father and son fight fires side by side in Delmar

By Donna Dukes-Huston Tyler Thompson, 17, has spent most of his life at a firehouse watching his father, Rob. Now Tyler has a chance to get in on the action himself as Delmar Volunteer Fire Department’s first member of the cadet program.

Rob and fellow member Darrin Scott were instrumental in forming this new program, which was put into effect earlier this year. Rob said that they pitched this idea to the department for almost a year before they finally reached consensus.

The idea behind this program was to increase membership. A candidate for full membership in the fire department must be eighteen years old. Rob said they were finding that by that time, individuals who would want to apply were busy with fulltime work or college or both and did not

have the time to devote to the training that is required.

“We want to catch them early while they still have time,” Rob said.

Cadets must be sixteen years old to begin the program. This had some members of the department worried, Rob said. They questioned whether these kids had the maturity to handle some of the situations they may find themselves in. Rob and Scott felt differently and continued to push their proposal.

“We thought this could give the youth something positive to do and allow them to help themselves at the same time,” Rob said. “The older members can help give them guidance.”

Cadets must be sixteen years old to join this program and can begin training both internally and at the state fire school immediately.

“If they can start the training early, when they turn eighteen they are ready to be a full-fledged member,” Rob said.

Rob and Scott worked together to develop by-laws for the cadet program. Before a cadet is allowed to join, the parents of each candidate are interviewed by the coordinators of the program.

MORNING STAR • AUGUST 23 - 29, 2007

Inner city kids learn to ride horses at Bean Ranch How many city children can say “I can ride a horse?”

Think about it. Imagine the boost to the self-esteem of an eighty pound child who has learned to control a one thousand pound animal.

Thanks to the generosity of a Laurel area family, Salisbury and Seaford youngsters are getting this opportunity.

Bill and Lori Bean, and their daughter Kaycee, host a group of young people at their ranch on Thursday evenings during the summer. The children learn all the aspects of horsemanship.

Before you can ride a horse, you have to catch him, put a halter on him, and lead him to the barn. Then you need to saddle him, put on a bridle, and mount him, all before you can actually ride the horse. After your ride you need to remove the tack, brush the horse and feed him.

There are many parallels between horsemanship and life. You have to do the preparatory work before you can get what you want. You also need to get some education so you know what you are doing.

Also, you have to do the required clean up afterwards. The reward is doing something far beyond your expectations.

In addition to riding, there is roping practice and a bucking barrel. On alternate Thursdays, the children learn crafts and practical knowledge such as first aid. Each week, some fun and games are part of the mix, and then dinner is served.

The children get to help with dinner preparation and clean up. Some future

projects are planned to let them experience the joy of giving back. Their horsemanship skills are tested at summer’s end with a rodeo. There is barrel racing, pole bending and goat tying.

It takes a dedicated corps of volunteers to make these evenings possible. Many are from nearby Bethany Church, including Pastor Joe Roszin. Some are friends and neighbors.

Volunteers help with the horse work because a one adult to one child ratio is needed for safety. Each child must wear a helmet for the same reason.

Bethany Church members provide the meals in the kitchen, and help with the clean up. The children are brought to the ranch each week by Sheila Edwards of Salisbury Urban Ministries. The Bean Ranch program is just part of Salisbury Urban Ministries’ efforts to keep these atrisk children off the streets.

If anyone out there has a youth saddle they could donate, it would be greatly appreciated. Volunteers, donations and your prayers are also welcomed.

You can write to the Bean Ranch at 16764 Pepperbox Rd., Laurel, DE 19956.

Bethany Church is at Lowes Crossroads, Laurel, DE 19956. Pastor Joe Roszin can be reached via e-mail at JOE-TLC@Comcast.Net. Salisbury Urban Ministries is at 326 Barclay St., Salisbury, MD 21804, 410-749-1563.

Delmar Fire Department benefits from cadet program Continued from page eight

“We want to make sure the cadets and the parents know what to expect,” Rob said.

Those expectations include an emphasis that school comes first, the fire department second. To ensure this, there are specific guidelines that the cadets have to follow at school.

“They have to maintain a 2.0 grade point average every marking period,” said Manson Jones, who has been assisting with parent interviews. “If they drop below that they are out of the program and have to reapply.”

Cadets are allowed to respond to any scene but are not typically among the first responders. They must wait to be appointed by an officer who is then responsible for that cadet as well as the rest of the crew.

Although they can be trained to fight the fire from inside the burning building, the department does not allow the cadets to participate in interior firefighting until they are eighteen. They can, however, perform many vital tasks at a scene in the meantime.

Cadets help pull hose lines off the trucks, retrieve tools, bring ladders, and even help load patients onto an ambulance.

Although Tyler, now a junior at Delmar High School, turned sixteen over a year ago, the program was not in place until earlier this year. He has spent time this summer catching up by completing Basic

Training as well as Vehicle and Elevator Rescue. He plans on attending structural, hazardous materials and water training this fall. Fortunately, this training is offered on the weekends so Tyler can still participate in Wildcat Football.

Tyler values the training and experience he receives at Delmar as well.

“Sometimes we can go back into a building after it’s been cleared to help clean up and an officer can show us how the fire started and spread,” Tyler said.

“At one accident scene, an officer walked around with me and explained everything that was happening.”

Tyler also looks forward to taking First Responder training which requires at least forty hours. He would then be able to administer basic first aid, splint an arm, help control bleeding and deliver CPR as well as other important tasks.

“This kind of training would allow him to do things for an EMT so that they can take care of more critical patients,” Rob said.

Firefighting has always been a big part of Tyler’s life.

“I’ve always grown up around a fire department, first in Hebron and now here,” Tyler said. “When my dad would get calls in the afternoon, I would go to the fire house with him because my mom was at work.”

Rob served in the Hebron Volunteer Fire Department for twelve years before he and his family moved to Delmar. By

this time, Rob and his wife had a second child, and Rob took some time off from the fire department to devote to family life. Tyler was the one who actually pushed him to join Delmar’s department.

Rob now serves as engineer and House Committee Chairman as well as coordinator of the cadet program.

There are currently five cadets at Delmar, including one female. Rob said that

they plan to stay at this number for a while but may eventually expand to up to ten members.

Rob’s goal of increasing membership through the cadet program seems to be working for older candidates as well.

“We’ve had 10-15 new members [over eighteen] join since we started the cadet program,” Rob said. “I’m really glad the department chose to get behind this idea.”

Entries sought for photography contest Entries are being sought for the annual Nature Photography Contest, sponsored by the Friends of Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge.

Last year, 86 photographers, both amateur and professional, submitted 325 photographs. In anticipation of even greater numbers this year, more display space is being provided.

Refuge offers the public hunting opportunities Hunting, which is one of six wildlifedependent recreational uses on refuges, is a very popular form of recreation at Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge.

There will be public hunting opportunities for deer, upland game & webless migratory birds, and waterfowl on Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge during the 2007-2008 hunting season.

A complete listing of hunting information and regulations can be accessed at http://primehook.fws.gov or at the refuge office.

Deer hunting Deer hunters can participate in archery and firearms hunting opportunities on designated dates and areas.

Permits are issued through a preseason lottery drawing, by a standby lottery drawing at the check station 2 hours before shooting time on the day of the hunt, and then by self-service until 2 p.m.

Applications for the preseason lottery drawing, except party zone applications, are not available on our website this year; however, they can be picked up in person at the following locations no earlier than Aug. 24: Headquarters offices at Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge in Milton or Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge in Smyrna; and DNREC’s Richardson & Robbins Building in Dover.

Party zone applications can be downloaded from the refuge’s website.

There are a total of six deer hunting applications: early muzzleloader, early shot-

gun, December antlerless, late shotgun, late muzzleloader, and headquarters area.

Applications will not be mailed or accepted over the phone. Completed applications for the Oct. muzzleloader season must be received in person at the refuge office or postmarked no later than Sept.

14. The application deadline for the rest of the firearms hunts is Oct. 8.

Waterfowl hunting Waterfowl hunting is permitted on designated areas on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays throughout the state waterfowl (duck) hunting season, except as noted. Permits are issued by a stand-by lottery drawing at the check station 2 hours before shooting time on the day of the hunt and then by self-service until noon. The refuge is closed for resident Canada goose hunting and for late season snow goose hunting due to low hunter use and low harvest.

Upland game and webless migratory bird hunting Hunting of upland game and webless migratory birds are on designated dates and areas. Permits are issued by self-service at the check station on the day of the hunt. The hunting of squirrels is prohibited.

If hunters have any questions, they may call the Refuge at 302-684-8419. Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge is located off Rt. 16 (Broadkill Beach Rd.) on Turkle Pond in Milton.

Governor John Carney and Secretary of Finance Richard Cordrey recently spoke at the Weston Senior Center in New Castle to promote the state’s school property tax credit for seniors. The Senior Property Tax Credit is available to Delawareans 65 and older who apply by Sept. 1.

“The senior property tax credit was one of the programs I helped implement during my time as Secretary of Finance,” said Lt. Governor Carney. “It’s a great way to show our appreciation for the contribu-

tions that many older Delawareans have made, and continue to make to the Delaware community.”

Applicants who qualify for the senior property tax credit are eligible for a 50% reduction in the school portion of their property tax, with a maximum credit of $500. Seniors must apply by Sept. 1 to be eligible for the credit this year.

Borrowers: Take Caution When Selecting Who to Broker or Fund Your Loans The liquidity crisis that resulted in the recent failure of a number of lenders, including American Home Mortgage Investment Corp. and New Century Financial Corp., has not only shaken confidence in the mortgage industry, but has also left many homeowners wondering how to take the safe road when securing a mortgage loan.

While liquidity issues can be detrimental to lenders, they don't have to impact individual borrowers, as long as borrowers know what to look for when selecting a mortgage professional.

"Borrowers need to be careful when choosing who will broker or fund their loans," advises Bob Davis, a Mortgage Planner with National Lending Corporation, a mortgage brokerage here in Seaford. "While it may be difficult for a borrower to determine if a particular lender is going through liquidity issues, a savvy mortgage professional will have a finger on the pulse of the industry, and will be able to place the loan at a lender that offers the most safety and benefit to the borrower."

American Home Mortgage was the most recent major lender to fall victim to a liquidity crisis when, in a slowing market, high default rates in the Subprime and Alt-A markets caused investors to raise premiums to lenders. Faced with a scenario of incurring thousands of additional dollars in the cost of each loan, yet confined by the limited flow of business due to tighter underwriting guidelines and a cooling market, American Home Mortgage faced a liquidity crisis that resulted in closure of the business.

"The closure of these lenders is due to the sudden market shift in

lending practices throughout the entire lending industry. Although the market pullback has created a lot of uncertainty," explains Davis, "people will continue to buy homes, reposition their debt and equity structure, and utilize their mortgages to help them achieve their goals for their futures and the futures of their families. Banks will continue to loan money and qualified Mortgage Planners will help position borrowers to get favorable loans from those banks."

The primary factor leading to speculation among homeowners is the slowing activity within the mortgage market. Banks are making fewer mortgage loans than they had during the past decade, and that slowing rate that has led to the dismal tone of headlines news stories.

"Although there's a lot of press surrounding the difficulties in the industry, it's important to understand that these particular lenders were facing a liquidity crisis within their own businesses, not a foundational crisis within the industry," adds Davis. "A qualified Mortgage Planner is better equipped to work with a borrower to help them find an appropriate lender and structure the loan package in a way that makes sense for everyone involved.

We're helping borrowers achieve their homeownership goals, whether the market is thriving or cooling."

The Seaford Branch of National Lending Corporation is located at 559 N. Hall Street, Seaford. They can be reached at 302-628-7830 for more information.

Health Summer heat deserves respect

By Anthony Policastro, M.D A few years ago a player from the Minnesota Vikings died of heat stress during a summer practice. Summer heat deserves respect. With the football season approaching it is time to remind everyone of that.

The heat index is often quoted by the news. However, all we tend to do is use it to discuss how hot it is. In actuality, the heat index tells us what we should do in the hot weather. For example, a heat index about 130 degrees makes heat stroke likely. Some one might think that is a very high number.

It really is not. 130 degrees can be reached with an outside temperature of 92 degrees if the humidity is 90 percent.

Even at lower humidity, there can be problems. For example, a heat index of 130 degrees can be reached with a temperature of 98 degrees and only 70 percent humidity. In these instances exercise should be avoided. A heat index between 105 and 129 suggests that prolonged exposure to it or outdoor physical activity should be done cautiously. At 90-105, heat stroke is less likely. That assumes that the outdoor activity is not prolonged and strenuous. It assumes that individuals are dressed appropriately. Football players exercising with full gear need to exercise caution in

the 90-105 range. That is what did not happen in Minnesota. This range can easily be reached. It can occur with an outside temperature of 88 degrees with 50 percent humidity. It can occur with an outside temperature of 82 degrees and 80 percent humidity. Under those circumstances, practices in full gear are not recommended.

The way to prevent heat stress is to drink fluids. There are no formal guidelines for child athletes. However, the expectation for adults exercising in the heat is 8 ounces every 20 minutes. When I was in the Air Force and we practiced in chemical gear, the goal was one quart per hour. When we trained, it was up to the commanding officer to take fluid breaks at least every hour for all the troops to drink a quart of water.

It is up to the coaching staff of teams to build these same kind of mandatory drinking periods and mandatory amounts into practice. We have heat stress injuries and sometimes deaths every year. They are fully preventable. Every coach needs to know the heat index before practice. That will dictate the length of the practice. That will dictate the amount of equipment worn. That will dictate the amount of fluid consumed. If the coach does not take heat into account for practice, he/she needs more training.

Stroke and Osteoporosis Screening Residents living in and around Seaford can be screened to reduce their risk of having a stroke. Life Line Screening will be at Woodland United Methodist Church on Aug. 30. The site is located at 5099 Woodland Church Road, Seaford. Appointments will begin at 9 a.m. A stroke, also known as a “brain attack,” is ranked as the third leading killer in the world, and the second among women.

Screenings are fast, painless and low cost. They involve the use of ultrasound technology, and scan for potential health problems related to blocked arteries which can lead to a stroke, aortic aneurysms which can lead to a ruptured aorta, and hardening of the arteries in the legs, which are a strong predictor of heart disease. A bone density screening to assess osteoporosis risk is also offered and is appropriate for both men and women. All four screenings take less than an hour to complete. The cost for a Wellness Package of all four screenings including free osteoporosis screening is $129. Life Line Screening was established in 1993, and has since become the nation's leading provider of preventive screenings. For more information regarding the screenings or to schedule an appointment, call 1-800909-3106 or visit www.lifelinescreening.com. Pre-registration is required.

Seaford SAT-Prep classes

Rule will not affect teacher salaries

Officials at Seaford School District report that seating is now available for the 12-week SAT-Prep class being offered at Seaford High School at the beginning of the 2007-2008 school year. This is the seventh year for the program, which now deals with the new SAT. For a cost of $100, students receive 12 three-hour sessions and accompanying materials and supplies. The program is open to all Seaford School District students in grades 6-12. Students will have the option of participating in either a Tuesday after school class (from 3:45-6:30 p.m.) or a Saturday morning class (from 9 a.m.noon). Seats will be filled on a first come, first served basis.

The Tuesday schedule is as follows:

In an effort to clear up confusion about a recent tax law change, the Internal Revenue Service is reassuring teachers and other school employees that new deferredcompensation rules will not affect the way their pay is taxed during the upcoming school year.

Recently, the IRS received inquiries from teachers who had been told that they had to make certain decisions about their pay now or risk severe penalties. At issue is a 2004 law change that applies to people who decide to defer compensation from one year to a future year.

Under the 2004 law, when teachers and other employees are given an annualization election – that is, they are allowed to choose between being paid only during the

school year and being paid over a 12month period – and they choose the 12month period, they are deferring part of their income from one year to the next.

The IRS clarified that new rules do not require school districts to offer teachers an annualization election. School districts that offer annualization elections may have to

make some changes in their procedures.

The IRS announced that the new deferredcompensation rules will not be applied to annualization elections for school years beginning before Jan. 1, 2008, so school districts and teachers will have time to make any changes that are needed. For more information, visit www.irs.gov.

Wright hopes to narrow that mayor and council is a must for the mayor number, and have a town manager in place and Wright. Wright says she is looking for sometime in late October. someone who has grant experience.

She and Shwed agree that the candidate Steckman and the mayor often clashed must be someone who has the Laurel citiin the daily operations of the office; the zens at heart; have team building skills; mayor claimed he had powers by the charand must live in the Laurel School District ter to intervene in the decision making, eswithin one year of taking the position. pecially with hiring of personnel. The

C

council, which at that time sided with Steckman, said the daily operations were the responsibility of the town manager according to the town's charter. But some of that support was replaced on the council, and the power base shifted to the mayor.

Now department heads report to him.

He feels everyone on the council should have an active role in the business of running the town. I call it sticking their nose where it doesn't belong. It's called micromanaging, not trusting your employees to do the job right.

Imagine having seven bosses, each telling you (a professional in your field) to do something different about your job and they don't have a clue? Wonder why we can't keep a town manager?

The argument was whether the town's charter, which clearly calls for a strong town manager type of government would be upheld, or the mayor's thinking that he and everyone on the council should micromanage the town.

Steckman left, but not before making a positive change in the town; the progress the town has made since he left are fruits of his labor. He left a comprehensive plan outlining the growth areas of the town, the first plan in two decades; grants to upgrade the sewer plant, and new water lines to replace aging lines in town.

And he laid the blue print for the first annexation east of U.S. 13, which includes the proposed Discovery Project, Bargain Bills, along with other smaller parcels.

He made some mistakes along the way, but who hasn't? And in order to wake a

sleeping community, he had to step on the toes of some old timers and new residents, but he had no fear, he just kept moving forward and I believe the town is better for his efforts. In the interim, assistant town manager Jamie Smith has taken over the town manager chores; she is currently on maternity leave.

Joe Conaway, mayor of Bridgeville, praised the mayor for his dedication for keeping the town together during the absence of a town manager.

When Conaway became mayor, Bridgeville did not have a town manager.

"I was finding myself in the office everyday, and getting calls resulting in decisions I had to ponder before I made them, where a town manager wouldn't blink an eye.”

When Heritage Village came on board, Bridgeville had the money to hire a town manager, Bonnie Walls, the former town manager of Laurel.

There is no doubt mayor Shwed has the best interests of the town at heart and he is enjoying his position as a decision maker, but his job is not to govern, because he is not qualified or trained to make those decisions, nor does he have the time to attend meetings statewide, day in and day out with developers and make long term decisions for the town.

That's why we need a town manager who can manage without interference; otherwise, in another year we'll be looking for another town manager.

Shwed says finding the right match is the key. The question is — the right match for him or for the town? We'll see.

I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, and each time that you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me please try to understand, that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand.

The angel said my place was ready, in heaven far above, and that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye for all my life, I’d always thought, I didn’t want to die.

I had so much to live for, so much left yet to do, it seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday just even for a while, I’d say good-bye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized, that this could never be, for emptiness and memories would take the place of me.

And then I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven’s gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me from His great golden throne, He said, “This is eternity, and all I’ve promised you.”

“Today your life on earth is past, but here life starts anew.”

I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last, And since each day’s the same way there’s no longing for the past.

You have been so faithful, so trusting and so true, though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn’t do. But you have been forgiven and now at last you’re free. So won’t you come and take my hand and share my life with me?

So when tomorrow starts without me, Don’t think we’re far apart, For every time you think of me, I’m right here, in your heart.

MORNING STAR • AUGUST 23 - 29, 2007

Young Environmentalists honored at Fair Young people making a difference by caring for our natural world were in the spotlight today at the Delaware State Fair, as Gov. Ruth Ann Minner and DNREC secretary John A. Hughes presented the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control's Annual Young Environmentalist of the Year Awards.

Twenty-two entries came in from all over the state, and judges said they had to make some difficult choices in naming the winner in each of three age groups.

Judges declared a tie between 10-year-old Tessa Hicks and 10year-old Matthew Santacecilia in the elementary category for grades 1-4. Tessa, who lives in Newark and is the daughter of Glynn Hicks and Teri Hamill, just completed the third grade at H.M. Brader Elementary in Newark.

Described as “an interesting out of the box thinker” extremely interested in wildlife and the environment by her teacher and nominator Sharon Brubaker, Tessa has been a regular participant in her school's National Wildlife Federation Frog Watch for the past three years.

Judge Jennifer Holmes, Education Coordinator for the Delaware National Estuarine Research Reserve, Division of Soil and Water Conservation, was impressed with Tessa's work in scientific and educational outreach.

Matthew, who just completed the fourth grade at St. Ann School, lives in Wilmington with his parents, Marlene and Perry Santacecilia. An active recycler since age 4, Matthew hopes to start a recycling program at his school.

He also enjoys bird watching and works to save their habitat. To reduce pollution, Matthew walks to school daily and is exploring new fuel ideas for vehicles, such as solar power and magnetic force.

Top honors in the middle school category went to Aidan Gause, a 13-year-old from Harbeson who just completed the seventh grade at the Jefferson School in Georgetown.

The winner in the high school category is 18-year-old Nate Reed of West Chester, Pa., a new graduate of Salesianum School in Wilmington.

The son of Gerilyn and David Reed, Nate plans to study biochemistry at Penn State in the fall.

Dubbed “Mr. Environmentalist” by his Salesianum classmates, Nate was elected president of the school's Ecology Club in his senior year. Under his leadership, the club continued to work with the Delaware Nature Society's Stream Watch program, monitoring the health of the Brandywine stream near the school.

The judges were impressed with Nate's strong commitment to stewardship and ethics.

Each winner was presented with a certificate, a $100 U.S. savings bond, a Delaware State Parks boating pass and a gift basket from

Bella's Cookies, an organic and natural bakery in Sussex County which co-sponsored this year's awards.

The awards are presented annually to Delaware students whose actions over the preceding year have protected, restored or enhanced our state's natural resources through innovative projects, by promoting public awareness and by demonstrating environmental stewardship and ethics.

The students are nominated by teachers, parents, peers and youthgroup leaders.

Nominations for next year will be accepted in May 2008.

For more information on the awards program, please contact Joanna Wilson, DNREC Public Affairs Office, at 302-739-9902.

Fun classes like the egg and spoon contest, the dollar bareback ride, and a costume class concluded the show.

There was some serious competition amidst all the fun. The most competitive riders at the show are eligible for the Betty Niblett Perpetual Trophy, which goes to the rider with the most points in equitation/horsemanship classes.

Taylor Scuse and Kaitlyn LeBlanc were tied for the high point awards at the end of the show and were ask to compete in a “rideoff” to determine the winner.

Entertainment Woodland Ferry Festival to be held September 8 This year's Woodland Ferry Festival is shaping up to be one of the best ever. On Saturday, Sept. 8, the day will begin at 7 a.m. with an all you can eat farmer's breakfast hosted by the Galestown Ruritans.

Opening ceremonies begin at 9 a.m. with the Seaford and Laurel High School bands and JROTC Color Guard. Tony Windsor, sponsored by Seaford's own State Representative Danny Short, will begin the entertainment, followed by the Jones’ Boys at 11 a.m., and the Arabian Lights Dancers at 2 p.m..

A wide variety of crafters will be on hand including vintage jewelry and hand-

bags, antiques, candles, Discovery Toys, crocheted items, chair caning, woodworking, rope demonstrations, and glass bead making, to name only a few. Lots of food will be available for sale.

For the younger set, there will be the Dragon bounce, Snippy Doodles the Clown and rides on the famous Duck Train. For the first time ever, a new group of local artists will be showing and selling their work, be sure to look for the Nanticoke River Arts. Our two museums will be open for all to enjoy, Jack and Carolyn Knowles, “Days Gone By” and the Fluarty Museum. Woodland Ferry Pottery and t-shirts will be available for sale, and the

silent auction is back for another year.

The ferry, the Virginia C, will soon be pulled out of the water to make way for a new ferry coming in August, 2008, so come say goodbye to this venerable old lady and take a last ride.

On the ferry and throughout Woodland, there will be pedestrian traffic only. Ample parking is available on both sides of the river. This year's festival is dedicated to the memory of Gertrude and Bill Royal who, 15 years ago, began a one-time celebration of the 200th anniversary of a ferry crossing.

It is possible that on the day of the festival the first bridge out of Seaford to-

wards Woodland will still be closed. If that is the case, take Stein Highway west past Penco and turn left onto Figgs Road at Don Lee Margin, to Craigs Mill Road to Woodland Road and turn right. An alternate route is again past Penco, turn left on Woodpecker Rd. and left on Woodland Ferry Rd., or take your own favorite way into Woodland. There is no charge to attend the festival, ride the ferry or see the museums, so bring the entire family and come out to spend a fun-filled day along the banks of the beautiful Nanticoke River. For further information, call Donna Angell @ 302-629-8077, or Christina Darby @ 302-629-4321.

Entertainment at Punkin Chunkin to include Jo Dee Messina The Punkin Chunkin Association announced Monday, Aug. 20, that country music stars Jo Dee Messina and Steve Holy will be the featured entertainers at the 22nd World Championship Punkin Chunkin competition.

Film Society hosts talent search

In celebration of the Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival's 10th anniversary, a 60-second trailer promoting the festival will be created by Director Sharon Baker of Teleduction in Wilmington. Teleduction and the Rehoboth Film Society will host a “Call for Talent” on Monday, Aug. 27, from 4 – 8 p.m. at the Rehoboth Bandstand.

“We are seeking tasteful talents such as juggling, magicians, miming, acro-

the Dale Wheatley farm owners, Bridgeville officials and association members.

“Finding a new location for the annual fall festival was proving difficult,” said Frank Shade, Punkin Chunkin Association president. “With the rapid development of new communities in Sussex County and either protected lands or farmland that would not be harvested by the end of October, it was proving nearly impossible to find a large enough area where we could hold Punkin Chunkin.

“We were very fortunate,” said Shade.

“The Wheatley family and Bridgeville's Joe Conaway both wanted to keep the event in Sussex County and saw the good it does for the residents of Sussex.” The bats, etc.,” stated Baker. “Participation is a good way to celebrate the festival’s 10th anniversary and to be a part of Rehoboth’s history.”

There is no age limit for participation; however, each participant will be required to sign a release allowing the use of their skit in various promotional mediums. This year’s film festival is scheduled for Nov. 7-11 at Rehoboth’s Movies at Midway.

He was Scoutmaster for eight years with Troop 90 at a time when scouting had about hit bottom in Laurel.

Starting with three scouts and finishing with 50 in the program was no small accomplishment and I remember his dedication and I'm sure you do, too. Several years ago, Marvin was voted "Outstanding Young Man in Laurel by the Kiwanis Club and many other awards came to this quiet man of God as he served his church, Centenary.

All the while this great conditioning enthusiast ran IFFHINRYU Karate in the basement of Centenary.

He was involved 20 years, 18 of them with the Karate School. In 2001, Marvin and Sharon through family became involved with Crossroads Community Church in Bridgeville and has become their Associate Pastor. Marvin has a master's degree in theology, but his heart and humility have taught him much, as close hunting friend John Bennett will tell you.

Standing at the back of the room I missed some of Marvin comments at his party, but I did catch some of his dry humor. Thanks for the comments from my broker, Jack, "It means I've never been broker." As to holding hands with Sharon going through the malls, "that is so she won't shop," said Marvin. Marvin also told of the music of the Hopper family, a very famous singing group that he had not heard of. When told of "Music by the Hoppers," he did not know what to say on his first hearing it. Marvin closed by saying, "We are getting older together and wiser because of it, you cannot know how much this means to me."

Next time you see this 66-year-old young man jogging through Laurel at 5:30 a.m. - it's only Marvin, enjoying life as God would have him, serving others.

portunity and there are great prizes form the fishermen with refreshments.

The event also features as prizes savings bonds from the John Frank Benson family. John was a major player in starting the event years ago.

There is much I could talk about but out of my love of baseball, I feel I must answer my friend Frank Calio's baseball article in the Star last week.

First off, baseball is still number one in America. Let them play 20 games or so as their so-called competitors do. Tickets would be $500 a piece and sold out. Do you hear other sports talked year around as baseball is and think of the players from 50 years ago, we still relate to them. Comparing them has been coffee shop fodder forever, and last but not least unless I am mistaken Barry Bonds is still playing. "Shoeless" Joe Jackson was never convicted of gambling as well as Chick Gandell, who spent his lifetime trying to be exonerated, back in the good graces of baseball. They were banned for life - for life by the Commissioner. Pete Rose denied entry into the Hall of Fame and the list goes on and was it racial, I don't think so.

It is in the name of a famous book "The Image of Their Greatness."

Sorry, Frank, baseball is the heart and mind of America.

Police Charged with murdering fiance near rehearsal date

The Delaware State Police Homicide Unit is currently investigating the homicide of Stephanie V. Mumford, 44, of Millsboro. The exact time of death is unknown, however, investigators believe the crime occurred sometime between the dates of Monday, Aug. 13 and Tuesday, Aug. 14.

On Aug. 14 at approximately 9:30 p.m., troopers were dispatched to the home located at the 35000 block of N. Gloucester Cir., (Fairfield at Long Neck development) in Millsboro after Mumford’s family members called 911. Family members became suspicious when Mumford failed to show up for a wedding rehearsal at 7 p.m.

Upon arrival, troopers and paramedics were alerted by family members who located the victim inside the home, deceased.

The victim was pronounced dead at the scene by medical personnel.

Criminal investigators and homicide detectives contacted family members, neighbors and witnesses and later determined that Mumford’s fiancé, Emmett Taylor, 3rd, 44, also of Millsboro failed to show up for the wedding rehearsal. Taylor and Mumford were to be married on Saturday, Aug. 18.

The United States Marshals Service arrested Emmett Taylor, 44 of 35566 N. Gloucester Circle, Long Neck for one count of murder in the first degree without incident on Aug. 17 in an apartment at 1905 M Street NE, Washington, DC. Taylor is being held in Washington pending extradition to Delaware.

Crash claims Lewes man

On Thursday, Aug. 16 at approximately 5:42 p.m. the Delaware State Police Collision Reconstruction Unit (CRU) responded to a single vehicle crash on Rt. 24 (John J. Williams Hwy.) east of Millsboro.

Upon arrival, investigators learned that a 1990 Buick Lesabre operated by Tina Crawford, 37 of Lewes, was eastbound on Rt. 24. For an unknown reason, the Buick veered right exiting the edge of the road and struck a utility pole head on.

Crawford was flown to Christiana Hospital and admitted for injuries sustained in the crash. It is unknown if Crawford was wearing a seatbelt.

Thomas Crawford, 44 also of Lewes, occupied the front passenger’s seat and was flown to Christiana Hospital and later died

from his injuries. Crawford was wearing a seatbelt. David Snyder, 11, of Lewes was a rear seat passenger and was transported to Christiana Hospital and admitted for abdominal injuries. Snyder is in stable condition and was wearing a seatbelt. The fourth passenger, a seven month old child, was seated in the rear seat in a child safety seat. The child was transported to Beebe Medical Center, treated and released for contusions.

A preliminary investigation revealed that alcohol may have been a factor in the crash. The crash remains under investigation.

Aggressive driver arrests

In the seventh week of a statewide enforcement and awareness initiative to “Stop Aggressive Driving,” Delaware law enforcement officers have issued 452 citations for aggressive driving behaviors and another 169 to unlicensed, unbelted, and uninsured motorists for a total of 621 citations.

One particularly disturbing statistic from last week’s enforcement (Aug. 15 – 18) was the number of citations issued for failing to stop at stop signs. Law enforcement officers cited 57 people for failure to stop at stop signs. Rolling through these traffic control devices without coming to a complete stop can lead to injury or even fatal crashes and motorists are urged to make sure they come to a complete stop at intersections.

The following is a breakdown of the number of violations found during week seven of aggressive driving enforcement: 16 aggressive driving, 301 speeding, 27 unsafe lane changes, 11 following too closely, 72 running stop signs and stop lights, and 25 passing on the shoulder.

The “Stop Aggressive Driving” campaign will run through November. Anyone who sees an aggressive driver is encouraged to call 9 -1-1 as soon as it’s safe to do so, and provide the following information to dispatchers: make, model and color of the vehicle, direction of travel, and license plate information if possible. They should not continue to follow the aggressive driver, but let the police take it from there.

horne, Pa. was fishing near the Star Fishing reef the morning of Aug. 4 with another vessel nearby. According to witnesses, Capt.

Haines became upset that the other vessel was fishing the same site.

He maneuvered his craft in close proximity to the other vessel and purposely deployed an unbaited fishing pole with a 12ounce sinker to snag several of the fishing lines on the second vessel.

After interviewing crew and customers of both vessels, Haines was arrested and charged with one count of impeding lawful fishing. On Aug. 14, Haines pleaded guilty to the charge and paid a fine of $330.

For more information, contact Sgt. Gregory Rhodes at 302-5426102 or 302-739-9913.

Police investigate homicide

The Delaware State Police Homicide Unit is investigating the apparent homicide of a 23year-old Dover man, which occurred early Saturday morning at his home on Carpenter St. in the Dover Air Park mobile home community.

At approximately 2:15 a.m., troopers were dispatched to the single wide mobile home located at the 100 block of Carpenter St. for a reported home invasion robbery.

A preliminary investigation revealed that two Dover men were robbed during a home invasion robbery. One of the victims, a 24year-old Dover man, was struck in the face with what appeared to be a revolver and shot in the right thigh. This victim stated that three to four suspects, of unknown race, age, and gender entered the home and demanded his valuables. The suspects then fled the residence. It is unknown if any property was taken.

42 arrested for DUI

Delaware Law enforcement officers arrested 42 individuals for Driving Under the Influence (DUI) of alcohol over the weekend of Aug. 17-18 as a nationwide crackdown to prevent impaired driving began. The crackdown, which is entitled, Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest., runs through Labor Day weekend.

In addition to the 42 DUI arrests, officers issued 21 citations for underage drinking violations, apprehended 17 wanted individuals, made 34 drug arrests including some for trafficking, 16 felony arrests including one for resisting arrest, seized two weapons including a knife seized by the Kent/Sussex County DUI Task Force at the Bethany Beach checkpoint, and issued 54 seat belt and nine child restraint citations as well as 272 citations for various other traffic violations.

Pit bull bites trooper

On Saturday, Aug. 18 a Delaware State Trooper suffered a minor injury to his left leg after he was bitten by a pit bull while assisting another trooper with a search for an assault suspect in the Mt. Joy community north of

Millsboro.

At approximately 5:30 p.m., troopers responded to the 28000 block of Mt. Joy Rd. near Millsboro in an attempt to locate and interview an assault suspect, Curtis Collick, 21, of Millsboro.

While there, a pit bull approached the trooper from behind and bit his left leg. The dog’s owner, Ella M. Collick-Bailey, 42, of Millsboro was able to secure the dog after the attack.

Collick was unable to show proof of a current rabies vaccination for the dog.

The dog was later confiscated by the S.P.C.A. for further investigation. The trooper, a three year veteran of the force, was treated at Beebe Medical Center for a scratch and small puncture wound to his left leg. The trooper was given a tetanus shot, prescribed antibiotics and released.

Troopers were unable to locate Curtis Collick in the area.

Trooper hurt in crash

On Wednesday, Aug. 15, at approximately 9:38 a.m., a Delaware State Trooper was in the area of New Castle when he stopped on the shoulder of southbound Rt. 13 at the Rt. 40 split to assist another trooper with a traffic stop. His emergency equipment was activated and he was seated in his patrol vehicle.

A 1999 Oldsmobile Alero, operated by Dora Nyarko, 50, of S. DuPont Hwy. in New Castle, was traveling southbound on Rt. 13 and moved to the shoulder for an unknown reason. The Oldsmobile rear ended the police cruiser.

The trooper, Corporal Nick Terranova, assigned to Troop 2 in Glasgow, was transported to the Glasgow Medical center for a back injury where he was treated and released. Nyarko was transContinued to page 44

This victim, whose name is being with held, was treated at Kent General Hospital for a bullet wound to the right thigh and released. The second victim, Jerome M. Hill, 23 of Dover was shot in the head during the robbery and killed. Hill was pronounced dead at the scene by medical personnel.

Arrest following pursuit

Delaware State Police arrested a Bridgeville man after he led po-

lice on a chase that began on Hardscrabble Rd. west of Millsboro and ended on a dirt lane east of Bridgeville.

On Friday, Aug. 17 at approximately 7:10 a.m. a trooper attempted to stop a 1991 blue Toyota Camry for speeding. The Toyota was traveling west at a high rate of speed and was clocked at fifteen miles over the speed limit.

The Toyota failed to stop for police and continued west on Hard-

BETWEEN THE LINES

By Gene Bleile, Seaford Sports reb60315@yahoo.com

I met Hall of Fame player Judy Johnson; I saw Hall of Fame player Hank Aaron play ball, but Barry who?

For the last eight months, I have refrained from any opinions in this weekly column about Major League Baseball, but I cannot contain myself any longer. It pained and angered me to hear that Hank Aaron’s legitimate home run record was broken a couple of weeks ago, by a player I will refer to as Barry Who! I did not sit glued to the ESPN channel every time the Giants were on, because I saw Dodger pitcher Al Downing throw the record breaking home run pitch to the “true” home run king, Hank Aaron, in 1974 on television. I did however see the “new home run king crowned” on the replay the next day. I wasn’t impressed.

When I taught children games in elementary physical education class, a student would often say to me, “that player is cheating.” I would respond with two questions: Are you doing your best? Did you follow the rules? Then to give them a quote to remember I said, “Cheaters never win and winners never cheat!”

This holds true for two baseball players who will always be winners without a cloud of “cheating with steroid use” hanging over their plaques at Cooperstown. I had the honor and privilege of meeting William J. “Judy” Johnson in 1973 at the Seaford High baseball field, when I was assistant varsity coach.

He was a quiet spoken, gentleman, who talked to the team about hard work and always doing your best on and off the field.

He was born near Snow Hill, Md., and grew up in a farming community. He never forgot family values and excelled in baseball, as a third baseman in the Negro Leagues, in the 20’s and 30’s before racial equality came to baseball. He had character, dignity and quiet self-confidence. He was a professional.

I saw “Hammerin” Hank play many times on TV in the World Series and “AllStar Games (24 total) for the Milwaukee Braves, Atlanta Braves and Milwaukee Brewers and cheered when he took pitcher Al Downing deep in Atlanta Stadium in 1974 to pass Babe Ruth’s all time record of 715 home runs. I collected Hank Aaron baseball cards as a kid, and wish I still had those cards today. He was not arrogant and signed many autographs during his playing days for free. He had strength at the plate without steroid use and could often just flick his wrists at the ball and hit a homer.

He was a professional.

On a sports documentary program two weeks ago on ESPN, a commentator said, “There is an estimated 1,000,000 athletes on steroids in the United States in the sixth grade to the 12th grade today.” I was blown away by that number, but when you stop to think about our role models today, I can understand why.

Rafael Palmeiro, former Orioles first baseman, lied to a grand jury about steroid use, Mark McGwire, former St. Louis Cardinals first baseman and former single season home run king, took the fifth amendment under oath and Sammy Sosa, all of a sudden couldn’t speak English. Jason Giambi of the Yankees has recently admitted to taking illegal performance enhancing drugs and the list goes on. These are the kids’ role models.

Barry Who is a great player, but I question his size change, his extra power and 311 home runs at the tail end of his career, when other “Super Stars” of the game declined in their latter years. Yes, the jury is still out, and he is innocent until proven guilty, but if that day arrives and “cheaters never win and winners never cheat,” I would like to see Hank Aaron re-crowned as the home run king. Barry Who will never be a Hank Aaron or Judy Johnson!

Steroids cannot give you respect, dignity, and character, only trouble.

Around The Horn: There is an on going investigation into Barry Who’s past and within a year; I think we will know the truth about his alleged steroid use.

Jason Giambi will receive no punishment from Major League Baseball for illegal steroid use, due to his cooperation with the on going investigation of steroid use in baseball.

I have also had the pleasure and honor of meeting Baseball Hall of Fame players Brooks Robinson and Frank “Home Run” Baker and they were true professionals.

Baker was born near Trappe, Md., and had a total of 96 home runs in his career in the early 1900’s.

In recent weeks, two professional wrestlers have died with links to steroid use.

To date, there has not been one lawsuit filed against Jose Canseco, who named Major League Baseball players on steroids in his book.

Deadline to register for Bridgeville Charity Golf Tournament is Sept. 1 The first ever Bridgeville Charity Golf Tournament is quickly approaching. The event is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 12 at Heritage Shores Golf Club in Bridgeville.

“Interest in the event has been significant and we’re thrilled by the response from the local community,” Bridgeville Commission President Joe Conaway, one of the tournament organizers, said. “We can only accommodate 36 foursomes, so I encourage anyone interested in participating to contact the town office to request a registration form or obtain a form at the pro shop at Heritage Shores.”

The format for the tournament is a four person scramble with prizes awarded to the top three foursomes in the low gross category. Golfers will also have an opportunity to compete for prizes in other on-course games and contests.

Letters to the Editor Open letter to Bryant Richardson It was interesting reading Calio's editorial and your comments. It shows how much Frank has grown in the 9-1/2 years I've lived here, and you have not. Unbelievable!

Frank worked really hard to keep his Republican upbringing, as I did. But he sees the same truth I do, and you clearly still do not.

I don't read your paper very often. I bought it this week to read about last week's drug raid. You did not even report on it. There's a full page article on how cleaned up Paul has made Laurel. Where are the photos of the continual road digging, backed up streets full of not only traffic but dangerous metal things with "ooey-gooey" tar?! Some journalism!

Do you not think we deserve to have health care? I have congestive heart failure and am uninsurable. When my husband had insurance, he got pneumonia, after paying $450 a month for years. When the bills for November of ‘05 and January of ‘06 came in, ZERO was covered. There was a $2,000 deductible for '05 and one for '06, so after thousands in insurance

Kudos to Compassionate Care Being a newly hired nurse at Compassionate Care Hospice, I would like to share a story of how the company's non-profit foundation gave back to a patient and her family in need.

Recently, I had the pleasure of caring for a local resident suffering from a terminal illness. When home safety issues became evident, she was admitted to a medical center 12 miles away. Her out of town family arrived with no means of transportation and no funds to pay for transportation.

I immediately contacted the Compas-

sionate Care Hospice foundation for help.

Within one hour, approval was granted and a cab company, at no cost to the family, was arranged to provide daily visits to and from the hospital so they could be with their mother during her last days.

Kudos to the Compassionate Care Hospice Foundation who give back to the patients in which we serve!

Kathy Schlitter, RN Harbeson

Congratulations to Laurel Senior League Girls softball team Our heartfelt congratulations to the Laurel Senior League Girls softball team of District II for finishing third in 2007 World Series in Roxana, Del. (a great ball field).

What a great thrill and experience for all the 14 players, coaches and manager.

Thanks again for the great support of all the families and loyal fans throughout the year. All was appreciated.

How is Seaford making busing students safer?

The following was submitted by Susan B. Messick, Transportation Specialist in the Seaford School District.

ty to put in an entry to the National School Bus Safety poster and/or speech contests.

This year, Buster the Bus will be making his rounds again to help educate our students about safety on and around the bus.

Additional training was offered to all district and contracted drivers on proper mirror adjustments, bus behavior referrals, bus rules and bus safety.

Every year, evacuation drills are practiced both in the fall and in the spring.

This year, twelve of Seaford’s buses will be equipped with a 2-camera security system that will serve multiple purposes on the bus. The first benefit is obvious.

The mere presence of the cameras will serve as a deterrent for any misbehavior.

Additionally, if there is an incident on the bus, the recording(s) can be reviewed by school administrators to ascertain the source of the problem and to take measures to correct it.

The recordings can also be reviewed in response to parent/student concerns about

Seaford’s transportation has been busy making the ride to school safer for all students in the district.

They have addressed behavior issues, revised some guidelines/rules, worked closely with the schools to provide safety training and this year, they have added cameras to some of the buses in Seaford’s fleet.

Last year, resource officer, Cpl. Mark Albert embarked on several ‘ride-alongs’ to discourage motorists from running the lights when our buses are stopped to pick up or discharge students.

Buster the bus visited all of our elementary schools to discuss the bus rules and safety with K-2 students.

Training was also provided through AAA to all 3-5 grade students on proper safety in and around the school bus.

All schools are provided the opportuni-

29. All items must be curbside by 6 a.m., as M-T Trash will only go down each street once.

Allowable items for pick-up include: furniture, household trash, stoves, and limbs bundled in 4-ft. lengths. Items that will NOT be picked up include tires, batteries, oil, construction materials, dirt, rocks, bricks, etc.

M-T Trash will have a truck available to pick-up refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners, as long as the Freon has been removed.

M-T Trash will also have a truck to pick up paint, stain, etc. Note: These items must be kept in a separate area from the rest of the trash.

Large tree limbs can be delivered to the town's wastewater treatment plant. Residents will be directed to an area for placement of limbs.

A scrap metal container will be placed at the town hall parking lot for the disposal of such items as aluminum siding, window frames, barbecue grills, tire rims, bicycles and stainless steel. Residents are asked not to place any other types of trash in this container.

Questions may be directed to Town Manager Bonnie Walls at 337-7135.

the bus ride.

In short, it will serve as a benefit to the improved safety of our buses.

DID YOU KNOW: School bus drivers must have a CDL (commercial driver’s license) with a ‘P’ (passenger) and ‘S’ (school bus) endorsements?

In order to get an ‘S’ endorsement, drivers must attend a specialized school bus driver training class, pass the test, then spend a minimum of 6 hours of on-theroad training with a Certified School Bus Driver Trainer, then pass a series of tests at Motor Vehicle, including a road test?

School bus drivers must have a full physical exam with proof of a TB test, certifying they meet all of the physical and mental requirements to be a bus driver each year?

All school bus drivers are subject to pre-employment, random, and reasonable cause drug and/or alcohol tests (random tests are conducted four times each year).

All bus drivers have a criminal background check and have been cleared through Child Protection Services as not having any record of an offense against a child?

School bus drivers are required to do a pre-trip and post-trip inspection of their bus to insure it is in good working order and meets all specifications to be on the road?

School buses must go through a rigid inspection at Motor Vehicle two times each year to insure they meet all safety laws.

School bus driver applicant cannot have more than 5 points on their record at the time of application. Any time a driver with a school bus endorsement exceeds 8 points for moving violations, the endorsement becomes invalid.

School buses are by far, the safest means of transportation for students. Children are much safer in a school bus, with it’s superior structure and compartmentalization, than in a personal vehicle.

SCHOOL SUPPLIES FOR KIDS - The atmosphere was frantic as volunteers packed boxes full of school supplies and placed them by the door at St. John's U.M.C ready to be picked up by local schools. Every year, under the leadership of Ruth Rhoades, volunteers come together to prepare these boxes full of school supplies for children who could not otherwise afford them.

In 2001, when the program began, St. John's UMC was the only participating church.

Now participating churches include not only St. John's, but also Christ Lutheran , Gethsemane UMC, The Father's house, Atlanta Road Alliance, Blades UMC, Church of God, Stein Highway and Wesley UMC. The program benefits those who attend West Seaford Elementary, Seaford Central Elementary, Fred Douglas Elementary, Seaford Middle, Seaford Senior, CDI Headstart and Mission of Hope GED classes. Pictured here are the group of volunteers at St. John's.

Back row from left are Pat Davidson, Ed Kuhling, Gladys Bonowicz, Sheila Tull, Mari Dykes and Faye Collins. Front row from left are Ruth Bolt, Ruth Rhoades, Clay Conaway and Mary Hopkins.

BENCHES FOR BLADES - Blades Economic Development Commission (BEDCO) recently donated three picnic benches to the Town of Blades in recognition of the great relationship they share. Two benches are placed in the Blades Park and one in the Pavilion near the Blades Marina. BEDCO and Blades officials pose with one of the new benches.

MORNING STAR • AUGUST 23 - 29, 2007

Letters to the Editor Clearing up some untruths As president of the Sussex County Council, and the subject of a recent letter to the editor in several local newspapers, it is incumbent upon me to respond to some inaccuracies and plain untruths regarding the July 31 passage of the bonus density ordinance.

Obviously the letter writer has been misinformed about the purpose of and content within the ordinance that will charge developers a fee for added density.

Money collected by way of this ordinance will be reinvested in our communities to purchase open space, with recommendations for land purchases and protective easements coming from the non-profit Sussex County Land Trust.

First, the letter writer asserts that I am a member of that organization’s board. I am not.

Secondly, the letter writer incorrectly states that I and fellow Councilman Vance Phillips “play a significant role in determining who benefits from these funds.”

The writer states that all the money through this ordinance will be generated on the east side of the county, and that I and Councilman Phillips will take it to pay rich farmers over on the western side.

This, too, is incorrect and baseless. In fact, the County Council attached an amendment to the ordinance which states that any money generated through an application will stay in the watershed where it was generated. So, if a project in the Inland Bays watershed is proposed and approved under this ordinance, any money collected will have to remain in that watershed. It cannot be used to purchase open space in, say, Greenwood. This feature will bring about a sense of balance.

With declining real estate revenue, I believe this could be a revenue stream that could help the shortfall that we and other government jurisdictions are experiencing.

I hope this sets the record straight as to why I supported this ordinance.

Dale Dukes, President Sussex County Council

Good candidate for Governor Over the past 25 years, I have worked hard for the Republican Party in many different capacities. I've been a district chairman of two different districts, a long time delegate to the convention, a campaign manager of several campaigns, a consistent financial contributor, and indeed a candidate myself.

As a result, I've been severely disap-

pointed and frustrated by losing efforts, internal party problems, a lack of unity, and indeed the beginning of what appeared to be the irrelevancy of the Republican Party in the State of Delaware.

Frankly, I had resigned myself to another 16 years of a Democrat controlled government starting again with either John Carney or Jack Markell.

Both are decent men, but do not espouse the toughness and commitment necessary to correct Delaware's health care crisis, financial woes, poor educational system, environmental problems, and lack of needed infrastructure.

The worst thing that can happen to Delaware is for us to elect another career politician whose only true motivation is personal advancement. Increased income taxes and pandering to special interestsmuch to the detriment of the greater good, is indeed where we are heading.

In my opinion, the only hope for Delaware's redemption is for someone to emerge from the Republican Party who can lead us out of the darkness and bring us together again. We need a new approach, a breath of fresh air-someone who has succeeded in business with nothing to prove to anyone.

We need someone with understanding and compassion combined with innate strength and resolve. We need someone who doesn't care about getting reelected, someone who is willing to enforce our laws and make tough financial decisions that will turn this state around, regardless of short term consequences for a few or the complaints of various special interests.

We need someone who is down to earth and understands the real needs of our citizens.

On Tuesday, August 14, a gentleman by the name of Alan B. Levin visited me at my house in Lewes for over two hours.

Alan Levin, the former owner of the Happy Harry's drugstores, is considering running for Governor of the State of Delaware.

We had never met before. We talked about many things, including his past and his ideas for the future of Delaware.

Folks, over the years there have been many political candidates who have sat in my living room and talked to me about their campaigns.

Frankly, in the brief time we spent together, I have never felt so at ease and comfortable with a complete stranger, as I did with Alan Levin. He was warm and friendly, charming and interesting, and completely down to earth.

He is what one would call just a regular guy, but at the same time during our conversation, I perceived a mental toughness combined with a complete understanding of all the issues facing Delaware today.

Obviously a man who is at ease and confident in all arenas, his intelligence comes through loud and clear when discussing any topic. That was my personal, gut feeling about this man after our conversation.

This is what else I have learned about Alan B. Levin.

Alan is a native Delawarean, born and raised in Wilmington. He is a graduate of Concord High School, the Tulane University, and the Delaware Law School of Widner University.

A member of the Delaware Bar, Alan served in the Delaware Department of Justice as a Deputy Attorney General. His father, Harry Levin, the founder of the Happy Harry's drugstore chain, fell ill in 1982, necessitating Alan to leave the Department of Justice to serve in the family business through1984. At that time, after his Dad's recovery, he left the business again to serve as Executive Assistant and Counsel to U. S. Senator William V. Roth.

Alan returned to the family business in 1986, when his father again fell gravely ill. At the time of his father's unfortunate death in 1987, Alan assumed the position of Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of the Happy Harry's enterprise.

From that time forward until the sale of Happy Harry's to the Walgreen Company in July of 2006, Alan Levin successfully grew his company from 19 to 76 customer friendly drugstores.

While growth was clearly an indication of success, Alan told me he took the greatest pride in the attitude which his co-workers displayed on a daily basis.

Alan says that his father always believed that service would keep customers coming back and through that belief, Alan indeed learned that lesson well.

With over 2,700 employees, and stores in Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, Happy Harry's grew to become one of the area's largest employers.

As a member of the community, Happy Harry's believed that it was their responsibility and obligation to give back to the areas they served.

As a result of that philosophy, Happy Harry's gave thousands of dollars to hundreds of different causes yearly in their trading area.

Fund, established by the Levin family, has raised over a million dollars to benefit Delawareans who are afflicted with kidney disease. Through the establishment of the Ellen and Alan Levin Family Foundation, Alan Levin's commitment to community continues today.

Folks, there is much more that is admirable and good that I could tell you about Alan Levin's 52 years, but I would be writing for three more hours.

In short, he and his wife, Ellen, have been married for 26 years and reside in Montchanin, Delaware. They are the proud parents of three young adult sons, Andrew, Daniel, and Jason. They have a summer home in Lewes, and Alan tells me that Sussex County is really his favorite part of the state.

In talking about some particular issues that I'm interested in, Alan made it perfectly clear that if he runs and wins, our government agencies will enforce our environmental laws, there will be no compromise with polluters like NRG, and they will comply with our laws or they will be shut down.

Alan clearly indicated that he understands the necessity of managing growth, and will lead the state in providing adequate infrastructure before development is allowed to proceed.

One innovative comment he made that also impressed me as well, was that Delaware has millions of dollars in its Rainy Day Fund, and if there was ever a rainy day, we sure as hell have it now.

"If that fund could help make Delaware financially whole without raising taxes, then I'll use it," he said.

Folks, I believe Alan Levin could indeed be our hope for Delaware. I believe his business experience, his resolve, and his vision qualify him to be our Governor.

Alan Levin is the breath of fresh air I have been looking for. I believe he can actually win this thing if he decides to run.

I am definitely excited about that possibility, and I perceive that he can lead our party out of the darkness and into the light again. If Alan Levin runs for Governor, he's got my vote.

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.
