When Dave and Pat Horsey lost one of their four sons, Tim, at age 19 in a motorcycle accident in 1985, they weren’t sure they’d have enough money to bury him. Fortunately, there was some insurance coverage. When everything was paid for, they used the leftover money to start David G. Horsey and Sons Inc. Since then, they’ve been blessed financially and now are giving back to the community. Through the Horsey Family Youth Foundation, established in 2003, nearly

$200,000 has been awarded to support organized athletics in Delaware. At the sixth annual awards presentation on Aug. 19 in Laurel, checks totaling more than $38,000 were dispersed to 15 organizations. The HFYF also celebrated becoming a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization at the meeting. In 2003, Dave said, when he first got the idea of setting aside some money for donations, a representative of Delaware Community Foundation suggested creating an endowment and giving away the accumulated earnings, rather than the principle. “I’m gratified

he did,” Dave said. The endowment has grown to more than $600,000. “I hope to live long enough to see the fund get to a million dollars,” he added. “Then we’ll open it to education and give away scholarships.” Through the DCF, the HFYF now supports programs for youth all over the state of Delaware. The foundation’s 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 continued on page 12

Laurel School Board discusses referendum, releases Hitch statement
By Mike McClure The Laurel School District, which met last Wednesday for its monthly school board meeting, announced that it was holding a special referendum meeting this Wednesday (see story in next week’s Star) to announce the options it will ask its residents to vote on in an upcoming referendum. The Board was also planning to vote on a date during the meeting. “We’ve worked hard and we’re excited to share our news,” Laurel School Board President Lois Hartstein said. Hartstein added that the district had its certificates of necessity rewritten to go along with the new proposals it will present to the residents. Hartstein also read the following statement (on behalf of the board) concerning the situation
with former financial manager Bill Hitch: “On May 18, 2010, the school district field a civil suit against Mr. Hitch for the recovery of the monies he stole starting in 2001 and ending in 2009. Mr. Hitch has admitted that he committed fraud by intentionally paying himself amounts in excess of his authorized salary. At this time, we are waiting for Mr. Hitch to produce documents the district has demanded and answer specific questions concerning the amounts he stole from the district. After he does that, our attorney has informed us that we can request a civil judgment be entered against Mr. Hitch in the Superior Court. After we have a civil judgment against Mr. Hitch, we have been informed that we can file a claim with the state insurance office to

Marching Band works to raise funds for travel costs By Cathy Shufelt Students, parents and other supporters of the Delmar Marching Band are working hard to raise funds for band members to attend away games after being told that the band’s budget had to be cut by the Delmar Board of Education. During the course of football season, the marching band typically travels in support of the team as well as participating in marching band competitions. The band has been unable to attend competitions for the last two or three seasons according to Delmar Band Booster President Laurie Bireley; however, the band had still been able to attend away games. Due to budget cuts in the district’s budget, the decision was made to cut funding that allows the marching band to travel to away games. “This (decision) does not leave many shows considering how much money we have spent on uniforms, instruments, etc.,” said Bireley, “not to mention how hard the kids have worked learning new music and routines.” The marching band now has
only five home games, including Homecoming, in which they can show off their talents. “We are really upset, the kids work hard to show what they can do, even the football team requests songs, they want to go too and march in support of the football players and the school,” said Bireley. Along with the regularly scheduled fundraisers which include the fall flower sale, a beef and dumpling dinner in October, and bingo in November, Delmar Band Boosters are asking the community for their help in raising the additional $2,000 needed to send band students to away games. “We are very thankful to have had several members of the community step up and give donations already,” said Bireley. “We fundraise constantly, and having the additional task of raising even more money is difficult and frustrating.” If you would like to make a donation to the Delmar Marching Band, contact Bireley at dancinaround@comcast.net or Delmar Marching Band Director David Smith at dsmith@delmar.k12. de.us.

10 ways to help guard against identity theft Taxpayers need to be careful to protect their personal information. Identity thieves use many methods to steal personal information and then they use the information to file a tax return and get a refund. Here are 10 things the IRS wants you to know about identity theft so you can avoid becoming the victim of an identity thief. The IRS does not initiate contact with a taxpayer by email. If you receive a scam e-mail claiming to be from the IRS, forward it to the IRS at phishing@irs.gov. Identity thieves get your personal information by many different means, including: • Stealing your wallet or purse • Posing as someone who needs information about you through a phone call or e-mail • Looking through your trash for personal information • Accessing information you provide to an unsecured Internet site. If you discover a website that claims to be the IRS but does not begin with ‘www.irs.gov,’ forward that link to the IRS at phishing@irs.gov. To learn how to identify a secure website, visit the Federal Trade Commission at www.onguardonline.gov/tools/ recognize-secure-site-using-ssl.aspx. If your Social Security number is stolen, another individual may use it to get a job. That person’s employer may report income earned by them to the IRS using your Social Security number, thus making it appear that you did not re-
port all of your income on your tax return. Your identity may have been stolen if a letter from the IRS indicates more than one tax return was filed for you or the letter states you received wages from an employer you don’t know. If you receive such a letter from the IRS, leading you to believe your identity has been stolen, respond immediately to the name, address or phone number on the IRS notice. If your tax records are not currently affected by identity theft, but you believe you may be at risk due to a lost wallet, questionable credit card activity, or credit report, you need to provide the IRS with proof of your identity. You should submit a copy of your valid government-issued identification – such as a Social Security card, driver’s license, or passport – along with a copy of a police report and/or a completed Form 14039, Identity Theft Affidavit. As an option, you can also contact the IRS Identity Protection Specialized Unit, toll-free at 800-908-4490. You should also follow FTC guidance for reporting identity theft at www.ftc.gov/idtheft. Show your Social Security card to your employer when you start a job or to your financial institution for tax reporting purposes. Do not routinely carry your card or other documents that display your Social Security number. For more information about identity theft, visit the IRS Identity Theft and Your Tax Records Page, which you can find by searching “Identity Theft” on IRS.gov home page.

Governor signs ‘Move Over Law’
Surrounded at Delaware City Fire Company by firefighters, police, emergency medical providers and the family of a young firefighter who was struck while rendering aid at a crash, Delaware Governor Jack Markell signed Senate Bill 205 into law. The law requires motorists to move, if possible, at least one lane away from firefighters, law enforcement, ambulances, tow trucks and transportation workers. If motorists can’t move one lane away, they should slow down and proceed with caution. First responders say the new Delaware law is model legislation that incorporates recommended best practices.

Memories of Dr. Sarah Dykstra’s kindnesses live on
By Lynn R. Parks
It has been a little more than four years since Dr. Sarah Dykstra was struck by an automobile and killed. But Kathy Robertson, office manager at the Eastern Shore Veterinarian Hospital that Dykstra and her husband, John, started, still thinks about her every day. “She was such a nice person,” said Robertson, who started working for the Laurel clinic about 15 years ago, when it opened. “She tried to help the clients and their animals any way she could. And she just loved life.” Robertson said that it took a while for the practice to recover from Dykstra’s death. “We didn’t get over it — we’ll never get over it,” she added. “But we got back to working again. Now, we’re doing good.” Dykstra was killed Aug. 13, 2006, while she was jogging along Delaware 20, near her Seaford-area home. An off-duty Georgetown police officer, Bradley Cordrey, was charged in her death. On Jan. 23, 2009, Cordrey pleaded
guilty in Superior Court to operation of a motor vehicle causing the death of another person. He was sentenced by Judge Richard F. Stokes to one year in prison, which was suspended for one year of level-one probation. Cordrey was also ordered to take a defensive-driving course. Robertson said that Dykstra’s spirit is still very much alive at the clinic, which is still owned by Dr. John Dykstra. “We talk about her every day, mentioning something that she would say or do,” she said. “We miss her, even now,” said veterinarian technician Kathy Holcomb, who still finds herself, when facing a challenge, wondering how Dykstra would have handled it. “She would do anything for anybody,” Holcomb added. “She would really give the shirt off her back to someone who needed it.” Despite the fact that memories of Dykstra are so strong, Holcomb said that she has never thought that she didn’t want to continue working at the animal hospital.
Senator Kaufman pays tribute to SBA’s Jayne Armstrong
Continuing his weekly tradition of honoring federal employees on the Senate floor, U.S. Sen. Ted Kaufman (D-Del.) recently paid tribute to Jayne Armstrong, of Newark, for her extraordinary dedication to public service for 16 years. Armstrong serves as district director of the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Delaware office. She previously served as the district director of SBA’s West Virginia District Office, and as regional advocate of the SBA’s Office of Advocacy. “She has helped hundreds of Delawareans turn ideas into businesses. Nothing, including the economic downturn, slows her down in her drive to help small business owners obtain the loans they need to open or expand,” Kaufman said. “Jayne has placed a particular emphasis on helping entrepreneurs take advantage of SBA loan programs created through the Recovery Act, such as Queen Bee Beauty Supply in Smyrna – a minority woman-owned business – and Miller Metal Fabrication in Bridgeville – a design engineering and manufacturing company.” For nearly 60 years, the SBA has helped small business owners obtain loans and find resources to help them prosper. By guaranteeing loans that small businesses take out from banks, the SBA enables entrepreneurs to grow and develop their businesses with confidence, which helps create jobs and improve local economies. Kaufman has honored 88 “Great Federal Employees” – including Armstrong – on the Senate floor since May, thanking them for their hard work and dedication to serving the American people.

“The memories are very nice,” she said. “I don’t want to forget Sarah.” Dr. Ashley Vincent started working at the hospital when she was 16 and thought that she wanted to be a veterinarian. “Sarah was a fantastic person all around,” she said. “When I applied to work there, she personally called me and talked with me about being a vet. She said that she would be glad to help me anyway she could.” Vincent graduated from Seaford High School in 2002 and went to Wilson College, Chambersburg, Pa., where she obtained a veterinarian technician degree. “Every break that I had, I came back to spend time at the hospital,” she said. “I always thought that I would want to come back here to work.” With Dykstra’s encouragement, Vincent applied to University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine, Columbia, Mo., and was accepted. She left for her first year there just days before Dykstra was killed. “Dr. Dykstra was a great vet,” Vincent said. “She would work with the client through any situation and she was very compassionate with the animals. She was a good doctor.” But Dykstra’s influence went beyond the professional level, Vincent added. “I know that life is short, and that you need
to be happy,” she said. “Dr. Dykstra did that on a daily basis. She was always positive. She never let whatever was going on in her life get her down.” Jeanie Cosgrove worked with Dykstra at the hospital as a veterinarian technician. “She was a wonderful person and I still miss her a whole lot,” Cosgrove said. “She loved life, she loved her family and she loved veterinary medicine.” Cosgrove said that she learned a lot from Dykstra, much of which she still uses today. “Many times I still think, ‘Oh, Sarah would have known what to do,’” she said. “My memories of her are so strong, it’s almost like she is still here.” Veterinarian technician Valerie Buschert knew Dykstra on a professional level as well as on a personal level. She cared for Dykstra’s three young children. “She was very generous in action and in spirit,” Buschert said. Buschert said that she still thinks about Dykstra, at the hospital as well as at Dykstra’s home, where she still watches the children. She has also used the example that Dykstra set in caring for her own son, Zachary, 3. “I want to make her proud of the way that I treat her children,” Buschert said. “I want her to know that I’m looking out for them the way she would like.”

Jim Cina knows the fears, joys of being a veteran firefighter By James Diehl
W
alking through the home of Bridgeville resident Jim Cina, there’s no question what the 66-year-old has devoted his life to. Fireman helmets here, certificates there, paintings adorning nearly every room of his ranch style home – the man was simply born to be a fireman. It’s what he has done for 48 years and what he hopes to continue doing for many more years to come. “I’ve done this since I got out of high school and I just really enjoy it,” says Cina, a 22-year veteran of the fire department in his native Montgomery County, Md., before retiring and moving to Bridgeville in 1992 to care for his ailing parents. “There’s just a camaraderie that exists among the people who are dedicated to the fire department. It’s like a big family.” Cina has witnessed a lot during his nearly half a century working as a fireman and paramedic. He’s helped deliver babies, he’s run for his life a few times as burning buildings came tumbling down and he’s responded to more ambulance calls than he cares to remember. But he does it because he loves to do it; giving back to the communities he calls home has a special meaning to the married father of two and grandfather of five. Originally from Takoma Park, Md., Cina began serving with his neighborhood fire department when he was still a teenager. He saw a lot in the next two-plus decades, including a tumultuous time in the nation’s capital mere hours after the assassination of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., on April 4, 1968. Dispatched to Washington, D.C., to fight fires set by rioters after the assassination, it was an adrenaline-filled time highlighted by chaos, confusion and much mayhem. “It was just crazy; we were being sent everywhere, but we didn’t have as much trou-

Contact James Diehl at 302-222-2685 or email Bryant richardson, brichardson@ mspublications.com ble as the National Guard did because they were being shot at,” Cina remembers. “They were some really upset people at that time. We were the first engine to go into D.C., and I spent the whole day and half the night there that first day.” Five days of race riots erupted in Washington, D.C. in 1968 following the assassination of King. Civil unrest affected more than 100 U.S. cities during the time, with Washington, Baltimore and Chicago being the heaviest hit. By the time the riots ended on April 8, 12 people had been killed, more than 1,000 injured and more than 6,000 people had been arrested. Hundreds of buildings had been burned, most of them stores. Cina was there to see much of it firsthand. “I remember there used to be a drugstore on the corner of 14th and Park and we could go in that store and get anything we wanted, but nobody else could because they had armed guards there,” Cina recalls. “Nobody else could go in that store except for firemen, because these guys were there protecting the store with shotguns.” Nearly 25 years after that tumultuous time in Washington, Cina moved to Bridgeville with his wife, Susan. It was a major change in his life, but his parents needed help and he felt Sussex County was where he needed to be. Sadly, Stephen Cina passed away in 1998, but the slower pace of life in Sussex County
Jim Cina has been a fireman for nearly 50 years, including the last several years with the Bridgeville Volunteer Fire Department. He is currently serving as the department’s ambulance captain, the second time he has held that role.
began to agree with Cina. So he stayed, and he continues to be active in the community today. Besides volunteering with the Bridgeville Volunteer Fire Department, where he is serving his second stint as the department’s ambulance captain, Cina is also a part-time paramedic with fire departments in Greenwood and Rehoboth Beach. He responds to more than 100 fire whistles each year and many more ambulance calls. Some are more memorable than others, like the day dominated by a remarkable delivery a few years ago. “I remember it was me, my partner, one paramedic from Sussex County and another one from Kent County. It was a delivery at a woman’s home, but the baby was stillborn,” Cina recalls. “The medics IV’d the baby, tubed the baby and gave it to me to treat. I was doing CPR the whole way, and the hospital found a heartbeat when we got there.
That made us feel good.” The baby was eventually transferred to Alfred I. DuPont Children’s Hospital in New Castle County and Cina’s job was done – but it was never forgotten. “It was a good feeling and you remember those, but you can’t dwell on them,” Cina says. “We don’t dwell on the bad things we see either; we have other ways of handling that.” In 2008, Cina was given a lifetime achievement award from the Delaware State Ambulance Association for his decades of service to fire departments in both Maryland and Delaware. He has also served as the first assistant chief for the Bridgeville Volunteer Fire Department and instructs new emergency medical technicians throughout the First State through his role with the state of Delaware. He loves every minute of it. Continued to page nine

Nemours Health & Prevention Services is ready to get the ball rolling as Community Partner for Nanticoke Health Services’ golf tournament. Gerry Mitchell, Linda Hollis, and Arsie Burton (front left to right) are members of one of the two Nemours Health & Prevention Services teams playing in Nanticoke’s golf tournament.

‘Screaming Cina’ serves Bridgevile Continued from page eight
“This just makes me happy, so I continue plugging along,” he says. “I probably need to slow down some, but I’m not going to.” One thing that worries Cina, and many other long-time firefighters throughout Sussex County, is what will happen to their beloved departments in years to come as the county’s volunteer firemen continue to age and younger, more energetic recruits continue to dwindle. Cina has his own opinion, though a possibly dire one. “There’s so much more to do now, so it’s hard to get them. And when they do come in, they don’t stay for very long,” he says. “I think it’s heading to being a paid force somewhere down the road. I don’t know when, but when that happens it’s going to be a very expensive item for the citizens. I just don’t think they’re going to be able to bring younger people in [to the department].” Cina’s two children – son, Bill and daughter, Deb – have both followed in their father’s footsteps, serving in fire departments in South Dakota and Maryland, respectively. Two grandchildren may soon be following suit – it all makes Cina proud of his craft, and his family. “I’m very proud of my kids, but it’s just something that I don’t express a whole lot,”
he says. “But they know it.” Nicknamed “Screaming Cina” years ago, Jim Cina continues to serve the Bridgeville Volunteer Fire Department with pride and, though he knows he should, he has no intentions of hanging up his hat, or even slowing down, any time soon. “I’ve just done it for so long,” he says. “And it’s a nice feeling inside when you’re able to do something for the community you live in.”
Cameras curb illegal dumping
A TrashStoppers camera caught David J. Rollins of Middletown recently when he was photographed illegally dumping tires in the 700 block of South Market Street. Rollins was arrested and charged with illegal dumping by DNREC Cpl. Casey Fountain, and pleaded guilty in Justice of the Peace Court 9, where he was fined $500 plus court costs. The TrashStoppers campaign to curtail illegal dumping in Delaware has expanded both in scope and citizens’ involvement since it was launched four months ago. A dozen more locations for cameras have been requested to catch illegal dumpers in the act. Many of these locations have come from citizens’ tips to DNREC’s Enforcement Hotline, 800-662-8802.

George, Miles & Buhr takes pride in innovations in building design Jr., P.E., director of Structural & Marine Engineering, who makes frequent trips to Africa to oversee this effort. Architecturally, GMB has designed many innovative local buildings, including the Oncology Building at Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury, which housed the first linear accelerator in the region. GMB’s Parkside High School design accommodated more than 1,200 Wicomico County students, and was the first county school to have a planetarium. GMB is thankful to have served the Maryland, Delaware and Virginia area over the past 50 years, and to have flourished under the exceptional leadership of Thomas, who joined the firm in 1969 and has served as president for 20 years. Thomas and the board of directors have selected James H. Willey, Jr., P.E. to lead GMB into the firm’s next chapter. Willey joined GMB in June 1996, serving as project manager and Land Development Division leader in the Salisbury office. Willey earned a bachelor of science degree in engineering from Swarthmore College and holds professional registrations in Maryland, Delaware and Virginia. He has more than 25 years of consulting engineering experience. Thomas and Willey are working diligently to ensure a smooth leadership tran-

techniques focus on micro-practices to maintain existing site hydrology and minimize the release of pollutants downstream. GMB has pioneered innovative stormwater management solutions for more than a decade. GMB’s Civil Engineering Division was instrumental in bringing sanitary sewer service to large portions of the southern Delaware and Maryland coasts. GMB’s participation as the lead engineer for the new West Rehoboth Sanitary Sewer District for Sussex County, Del. in the 1990’s was groundbreaking. The $88-million project was, at the time, the largest non-federal infrastructure project in the state. Post-tensioned concrete design is a staple of the GMB Structural Engineering Division, and is a skill that few Delmarva firms offer. Post-tensioning is used to create innovative concrete components that are thinner, longer and stronger than traditional products. GMB recently employed this design technique for the new Courtyard by Marriott Hotel in Ocean City. The firm is proud of its collaboration with Baylor College of Medicine to bring Pediatric AIDS Clinics to countries throughout Africa and Europe. This work began in 1998, and continues today under the direction of A. Reggie Mariner,

sition. Thomas will remain with the firm as director of External Affairs until the end of 2010, at which time he will retire. However, his decades of experience will only be a phone call away. “In the future, I may serve as a consultant if the firm has a need,” Thomas says. Forty years in the industry has left Thomas with valuable insights. “It is always an exciting time when you come out of a recession, even this one, which may be the worst in memory. We are thinking of what will propel us into the next growth cycle, providing services that our clients need, and want, and that we can do well.” These services include providing owners with better total project scope and cost information at project initiation, and potentially partnering with construction specialists. “The most important trend coming out of this recession will be meeting the water and energy needs of the growing population,” Thomas says. “This means exploring alternative energy sources, and protecting the surrounding waters through nutrient reduction, wetlands management and environmental site design practices.” For more information, visit www.gmbnet.com.
McGrath named Sussex director
Karen L. McGrath has joined Sen. Carper’s office as Sussex County director. McGrath comes to the senator’s office from the Rehoboth Art League, where she served as executive director. During her tenure, she developed relationships with state historical, cultural and preservation officials, cultivated partnerships and worked with federal, state and local officials. For eight years prior, McGrath served as executive director for the BethanyFenwick Chamber of Commerce. Under her leadership, the Chamber’s retention percentage more than tripled and was recognized with the American Chamber of Commerce Executive’s Award for Excellence. As Sussex County Director, McGrath will act as Senator Carper’s “eyes and ears” in Sussex County, creating and maintaining relationships with local, state and federal officials and entities, as well as local companies and constituents from all over the county. Her years in government and community relations, event planning and local issue involvement are a great match for this position. A Philadelphia, Pa. native, McGrath, has lived in Delaware for 11 years. She graduated from Syracuse University with a bachelor of science degree in broadcast journalism, and also holds a master of journalism degree from Temple University. She lives in Ocean View with her two children. Carper’s former Sussex County director, Tim Winstead, has joined the Delaware Lottery as Gaming Inspection manager.

Emma P. Greene, 95
Emma Pearl Greene, the daughter of the late Theodore and Emma Pearl Barnes, was born on June 3, 1915, in Seaford. Her journey evolved into victory on Sunday afternoon, Aug. 15, 2010, as with one joyful breath, she quietly shouted her arrival home. Emma completed her education at Fredrick Douglas High School in Seaford, where she graduated as the valedictorian of her class. During her childhood, due to her father being Catholic, she was christened into Catholicism. Still in her childhood, she began going to Greene Macedonia A.M.E. Church in Seaford. She transferred her membership to Mt. Pisgah A.M.E. Church upon moving to Laurel. On Jan. 27, 1937, she was united in holy matrimony to the late Marshall A. Greene of Laurel. From this union, one daughter was born, Marjorie Dolores Greene. Emma loved her family, her home and shopping. She would say, “When going to church, you aren’t dressed unless you have on a hat.” She was an immaculate housekeeper and took pride in the daily activities of housekeeping. Emma also enjoyed her time spent as the owner of “The Paradise.” Everyone from children to adults knew that she demanded respect and if she did not receive it her famous quote was, “You don’t have to go home, but you have to get out of here,” and that’s what they did without question. Emma loved the Lord and served on numerous Homecoming and Women’s Day committees during her years at Mt. Pisgah. She was a lifetime member and Past Worthy Matron, of the Queen of Sheba Chapter #4, Prince Hall Affiliation, Laurel. Emma was a quiet soldier on the battle field for her Lord. Though quiet, she fought a good fight, she kept the faith and God allowed her to finish her battle victoriously! In addition to her parents, Emma was preceded in death by 12 brothers and sisters. She leaves to cherish her memories, one devoted daughter; Marjorie Dolores Fisher; two granddaughters, Robin M. Fisher and Terri L. Fisher; one great-granddaughter, “the love of her life,” RogJenea E. Fisher; one loving brother, Ira Barnes (Beverly); sister-in-law, Shirley Lloyd; and a host of nieces nephews, family and friends. Never to be forgotten are two special caregivers, Sandra Dorsey and Helena Puryear. Funeral services were held on Saturday, Aug. 21, at Mt. Pisgah A.M.E. Church, Laurel. Burial was in New Zion Church Cemetery, Laurel. Arrangements are in the care of Bennie Smith Funeral Home, Seaford. Letters of condolences may be sent and the guest book may be signed at www.benniesmithfuneralhome.com.

Health Coding specialist program
Become a member of the expanding health care field by enrolling in the health information coding specialist certificate program offered at Delaware Technical & Community College, Owens Campus. Health information coding specialists are responsible for translating diagnostic and procedural phrases used by health care providers into coded form. This process requires analyzing health records and interacting with health care providers to ensure terms have been translated correctly. Information is then used for reimbursement purposes. This 36-session program will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Sept. 13 to April 14, from 6 to 9 p.m. The course consists of three sections: medical terminology, medical coding and billing I and medical coding and billing II. Students will discover how to analyze inpatient and outpatient health records, assign accurate numeric codes for each diagnosis and procedure, and identify principle diagnosis and procedures to evaluate accuracy of data submitted to fiscal agencies. They also will learn to understand reimbursement processes and compliance programs. Graduates of the program are eligible to sit for the National Certified Coding Specialist exam. Funding through the Department of Labor is available for this course. For more information, contact Corporate and Community Programs at 854-6966.

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk is Sunday, Oct. 3 By Lynn R. Parks
Retired Seaford High School track and cross country coach Rob Perciful always wanted to organize a race that ended over water. He has gotten his wish, said Mary Catherine Hopkins, Bethel, with the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer run, which Perciful is helping to organize. The 5K run, to be held Sunday, Oct. 3, will have its finish line in the middle of a bridge that crosses a pond on the campus of Delaware Technical and Community College, Georgetown. A non-competitive 5K walk held the same morning will also end mid-bridge.
Both run and walk will benefit the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer campaign. Cost to participate in the run is $20; participation in the walk is free. Both runners and walkers are asked to collect pledges for the cause. The run/walk replaces the early-spring daffodil sale that the Sussex office of the American Cancer Society used to hold. The Wilmington-area chapter has sponsored a fundraising run and walk for eight years. A kick-off for the Sussex event was held Aug. 4 at the Marvel Carriage Museum in Georgetown. Already, Hopkins

said, 37 teams with 112 people are signed up to participate in the Sussex run. “We are off to a good start,” she said. “We could have 200 or 300 people there.” Registration for the race will start at 7 a.m. The run will get underway at 8:30 a.m. and the walk at 9. The course will all be on the college campus. There’s more to the run than simply raising money, Hopkins said. Community events like this one promote awareness of the American Cancer Society and the services it provides, she said. They also provide support to people who are suffering from cancer and their families, she added. A survivor’s tent will be set up during the run where people who had or have cancer can gather. “There is always somebody there they can talk to,” she said. “People who have just gotten a diagnosis of cancer can realize, ‘Hey, I’m not alone.’ And people who
have beaten cancer and who want to give back have the opportunity to do so.” Hopkins said that organizers are trying to get young people involved in the run. “We want them to be aware of cancer, and we also want to give them the opportunity to do something for the community,” she said. Organizers are also reaching out to the Spanish-speaking community, she added. All literature that will be handed out that day will be available in Spanish. For your information The Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K run and walk will be Sunday, Oct. 3, at Delaware Technical and Community College, Georgetown.

Hola Awards to honor Hispanics The Second Annual Hola Awards on Sept. 25 will showcase some of the most admirable Hispanic leaders in Sussex County. More than 400 people are expected to attend the event at the Rehoboth Beach Convention Center. The gala, presented by the talk show “Hola FM” on WGMD, recognizes the extraordinary citizens that help strengthen the local community. “We have spoken with many of these people on “Hola FM” and learned about the type of work they perform,” said Kevin Andrade, host of the show and the gala. “The Hola Awards is a way to give something back to those who have given so much.” To honor nominees and participants, this year’s event will also include an afterparty with Prince Royce, a young Dominican American from the Bronx who has conquered the radio airwaves throughout the Americas and across the world with his hit single, “Stand By Me.” The song is a bilingual version of Ben E. King’s 1960s classic. Awards will go out to nominees in the categories of Extraordinary Community Service and Entrepreneur of the Year. Nominees include: Extraordinary Community Service: Sister María Mairlot, Pastor Israel Figueroa, Allison Burris Castellanos, Pastor Anastacio Matamoros, Margaret Reyes, Charlene Nurley and Pastor René Knight. Entrepreneur of the Year: Evelyn Díaz, Lili Kohr, Ramiro Herrera, Doris González and Enrique Núñez. Listeners of the WGMD program will select the winners.
Prince Royce will perform at the Hola Awards in Rehoboth Beach on Sept. 25.
Journalist Patricia V. Rivera, who is co-hosting the event, said the award show represents a maturation for the local Hispanic community, which now counts among its community and business leaders individuals who make contributions to mainstream society. Andrade, the visionary behind the event, said the evening is also a demonstration of unity. “Hola FM” on WGMD has drawn Spanish and non-Spanish listeners from all over the upper East Coast. Andrade owns Hola Media Network, a radio communications company that develops other radio programs that are broadcast regionally and internationally.

Sussex Technical High School graduate Justin Allen of Laurel was named a co-winner of the 2010 Judy Johnson Scholarship and the recipient of the Wilmington Blue Rocks Scholarship. Justin received the honors because of his baseball skills during the 2010 Delaware High School all-star baseball game in which he was named MVP for the Gold team. The Judy Johnson Memorial Foundation awards two scholarships each year to selected players from the all-star game. The recipients were nominated by their respective coaches who, in their opinion, displayed outstanding sportsmanship. Justin Allen This scholarship is given annually in memory of Judy Johnson, a former Negro League player who died in 1989 at the age of 89 and was never given the opportunity to play in the Major Leagues only because of the color of his skin. Johnson, who was born in Snow Hill, played between 1920 and 1936 and was a lifelong resident of Wilmington. Johnson’s baseball playing skills ultimately led to his induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., in 1975. The Wilmington Blue Rocks scholarship is sponsored each year by the Delaware Baseball Coaches Association. Justin will be a freshman at Delaware State University and will study physical therapy. He will also be a member of Del State’s baseball team. He is the son of Jeff and Jan Allen of Laurel.

Matt Jester earns a bittersweet win in Delaware Modifieds By Charlie Brown It was a bittersweet victory for Matt Jester in Saturday night’s “Topless” 25-lap NAPA Big Block Modified feature at the Delaware International Speedway. Jester got caught up in a first lap chain reaction and was left sitting putting him to the rear. For the second time this season he would come from last to first but not until after an hour delay as emergency crews tended to his friend Jamie Mills. The first scare of the evening came at the beginning of the night in hot laps when Kenny Brightbill had his throttle stick going into the first turn. The car hit the dirt backed tire wall at high speed. Brightbill was shaken but would compete in qualifying and the feature in an AC Delco Modified borrowed from driver Garrie Bostwick. Following the racing Brightbill did go for treatment of a badly swollen leg. Matt Hawkins would lead lap one of the feature before Chad Clark moved on top. Almost immediately, Clark’s car slowed and the yellow was out again. Hawkins was back on top with Beau Wilkins second and Joseph Watson third. H.J. Bunting was on the move taking third on lap four. Watson regained the spot to laps later with Jamie Mills following into fourth and Brad Trice taking fifth. Mills was on a mission on the outside passing both Watson and Wilkins down the back straight to take second on lap seven. Disaster would strike on the next circuit. As it seemed evident that Mills would have no problem catching the leader Hawkins, his car slowed briefly going down the back straight. The car then picked up speed entering the third turn. It went up the turn and off the top hitting the dirt backed tire barrier under power. The car came to an instant grinding stop and rolled over on its top. Safety crews were immediately on the scene, putting the car back on all four wheels. Mills was initially unconscious but then went into convulsive like behavior. Both county paramedics and Delmar Volunteer fire company EMT’s along with the speedway’s EMT’s worked to stabilize Mills as the Delaware State police helicopter landed for transport. The medical crews could not sufficiently stabilize Mills for air transport so he was taken to the Peninsula Regional Medical Center in nearby Salisbury where he was placed on breathing support and moved to the Intensive Care Unit. Promising news from Mills’ family came on Sunday around noon when he was removed from the breathing support. Early evaluations indicate that Mills suffered a concussion but no broken bones and a full recovery is expected. Back under the green Jester worked by Bunting for third and then powered by both Wilkins and Hawkins to lead lap 11. At the halfway sign Bunting had moved into second with Wilkins third. Hawkins and Tim Trimble were holding on in the top five. The second half of the race was caution free with Jester driving to his fifth win. “I’m real glad that we won but man, I’m real worried about Jamie,” said an emotional Jester in victory lane. “We’re good friends. It’s a win for him and a buddy of mine down in the trailer whose dad had a stroke earlier. It’s not been a good night.” Bunting finished in the second spot with Trice third. Fourth went to Wilkins and Hawkins rounded out the top five. Heats were won by Trice and Mills. Kyle Fuller led the first three laps of the 15-lap AC Delco while Shawn Ward and Jon Callaway battled for second. Joe Tracy built up momentum on the outside and drove from fourth to the lead on lap six. On lap later the yellow was out as Shawn Ward got around and was hit hard by point leader John Curtis. Both drivers were okay but both cars were badly damaged. At the halfway sign the top five were Tracy, Fuller, Callaway, Tom Moore and Scott Baker. The order would remain unchanged to the checkered as the remainder of the race went caution free. It was the fourth win of the season for Tracy and moved him back into the point lead. Fuller was unfortunately light at the scales making the remainder of the top five in order: Callaway, Moore, Baker and Billy Carr. Fast time in qualifying was set by Fuller. Tim White shot from fifth to lead lap one of the 15-lap Mod Lite feature. Ray Gulliver and Tyler Reed put on a good battle for second before Alan Passwaters came blasting through the top five to take second on lap seven. A final yellow on lap 12 erased White’s lead. On the restart, Passwaters made a challenge but White was able to pull away to record his fourth win of the year. Passwaters turned in a season’s best finishing in second with Reed third. Fourth went to Kerry King, Jr. and Curt Miles, Jr. rounded out the top five. Fast time in qualifying was set by White. This Saturday night it will be the King of Kings for Modifieds plus the regular weekly divisions and the Little Lincoln cars. Gates open at 5 p.m. with hot laps at 7 p.m.

Last week while I was walking around the Delmar High sports fields to take pictures, a dream came true, more like a nightmare. It all happened quite innocently. I was walking past the soccer field to the field hockey field when a boy walked by carrying something. I probably noticed what he was carrying all along, I just tried to block it out of my mind. I almost made it past him safely when he stopped and said “Do you know what this is?” I stopped in midstep and looked at him to make sure he was talking to me, he was. I looked at him, I looked at the item he was carrying, I looked at him, I looked at it. “It’s from the World Cup,” he added. I didn’t really need the hint, but it was enough for me to say the word. “It’s a vuvuzela,” I said begrudgingly. That’s right, the plastic noisemaker that droned all through the World Cup in South Africa has made its way to the United States. Actually, I already knew it was in the country because the Florida Marlins had a vuvuzela giveaway earlier in the season. Luckily, I don’t watch many Florida Marlins games on TV. But now the plastic “trumpet”, which recently became one of 2,000 new words in the Oxford Dictionary of English, has made its way to Delmarva. I was afraid that would happen. “Just you watch, there will be vuvuzelas at the high school games this Fall,” I prophetically proclaimed as I watched the games this summer, trying to ignore that
infernal sound. As I took pictures during the soccer and field hockey practices, I heard that noise emulating from the woods. If I didn’t know better I would have thought Delmar had a population of moose that migrated south. Now I have no problem with the people of South Africa sharing their culture with the world when they have a national audience, but did we really need to bring those noise machines here? Don’t we have enough of our own noise makers? Maybe some of the Laurel fans should introduce the cow bell to South Africa. FALL SPORTS- I am ready for the high school sports season. Like many of the fans, and probably some of the players and coaches, I’d like to skip right to the games. I know I’d like to skip past all of the NFL pre-season games. I’d rather watch paint dry (or Sarah Palin speak) than watch a pre-season football game. I don’t even want to hear the scores of the games. These games are as pointless as Brett Favre’s retirement announcements. The star players play a series or two and by the second half a seventh string quarterback, who will be driving taxi cabs during the regular season, is under center. Quick hits- Don’t forget to check out next week’s Stars for the Fall sports preview section, complete with regular season schedules, photos, and previews. Varsity coaches: Please submit your completed preview forms this week to have your teams included in this special section.

Rob Schirmer takes second win in Delaware Late Models By Charlie Brown Rob Schirmer took full advantage of his pole starting position in the 20-lap Super Late Model feature but it was far from being an easy win. Schirmer held the point at the start with Hal Browning and Staci Warrington locked in a hot battle for second. Mark Pettyjohn and Kerry King closed the gap to make it a five car lead battle. Schirmer held tight to the bottom line while Warrington and Pettyjohn swapped third several times. By lap six King had worked by Pettyjohn for fourth and started to challenge Warrington for third. The challenge was a wake up call for Warrington who worked by Browning to take second on lap nine. At the halfway sign the top five were Schirmer, Warrington, Browning, King and Mark Pettyjohn. The first yellow was out on lap 12 and ended a good drive by Browning who slowed in a shower of sparks down the back straight. Schirmer had a strong restart with Warrington in second and King in third. King took the second spot with four to go as Derrike Hill began a late race charge through the top five. Hill had just taken the third spot as Warrington and King made contact on the final lap. Warrington went around Schirmer on the high side in the second turn but the yellow flew as King was unable to steer his car and came to a stop on the front straight. This put Schirmer back on the point with Warrington restarting in second and Derrike Hill in third for the one lap shoot out. Schirmer had a great restart and made no mistakes on the final circuit to collect his second win of the season. Derrike Hill edged by Warrington at the finish for second with Warrington holding off David Hill for third. Mark Pettyjohn rounded out the top five. Heats were won by Schirmer and Browning. Chris Hitchens started on the pole in the 15-lap Crate Model feature. Hitchens set the pace as Mike Wharton worked by Clint Chalabala for second. The first yellow was out at the halfway sign as Clay Tapman got in some contact and spun. Hitchens controlled the restart but the yellow was back out as both Joe Warren and Dylan Evans slowed with flat tires. Hitchens made no mistakes in the closing laps to post his first win of the season. Chalabala grabbed second on the final lap with Wharton ending his four win streak by finishing in third. Fourth went to Tyler Reed and John Imler rounded out the top five. Fast time in qualifying was set by Chalabala. The Slide for 5 cars rounded out the night with 15 cars taking the green. Paul Griffin led the first lap before Jesse Betts took over for the next two circuits. Ronnie Layton threaded his way through a tangle and took the lead for lap four and held on for his first win. Mike Creppon finished in second with Griffin recovering to take third. Fourth went to James Brasure and Warren Montieth rounded out the top five.

MOVING?
The end of the summer is already upon us. When my birthday rolls around at the end of July, I always know that summer will be soon be over. I love the extra daylight hours, not having to wear a coat and watching racing at my home track. Well, it’s not too late to get into local racing and watch some good racing before the season is over. The Delaware Motorsports Complex located in Delmar, is the place to get into some fast and amazing racing at three different tracks with three different types of racing. The complex is the home of the Delaware International Speedway (DIS), U.S. 13 Dragway and the U.S. 13 Kart Club Track, which is just on the left before you enter the main grounds or the complex. There’s still a few great shows left this year at any of the tracks. In August, the speedway had the King of Kings Late Model which had each feature winner in late models; nine different winners in all seasons to race a 10 lap shoot out for $500. Mark Pettyjohn won that night. King of Kings for the Big Block Modified is this Saturday, Aug. 28. The last “Topless Night” was last Saturday. The URC sprints will return Saturday, Sept. 4, two more races after that will round out the points events, then the speedway will be off Sept. 18 for the Dragway special. Next up on the half-mile oval is the new format for the Delaware State Dirt Track Championships. This year the events switched to night racing instead of the two day event in November. The championship will be Friday and Saturday, Oct. 22-23, at night for the first time. If all the racers come for this special in
November we will be in for some awesome, fantastic racing shows. This will be new racing at the end of the season championship at a night show which should make for more side by side racing. For details, log on to the track’s website at www.delawareracing.com or call the office at 875-1911, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. I think everyone knows my first choice of racing is on the half-mile clay oval track. This offers five different weekly divisions of racing on clay dirt with Big Block Modified, Super Late Models, two Crate Divisions and Modified Lite. Along with that, each week has a special guest form of racing rather it be the mighty URC Sprints, Little Lincoln & Vintage Cars or slide-4-five. Do you know the differences between each of these races? Simply, most divisions differ by body style of the car, horsepower, speed, shocks, tires and more. Speeds can range from 80 to 110 MPH. Visit the track’s website for a schedule of events to the dirt track at www.delawareracing.com or call the track hotline at 846-3968. Another form of racing on the Complex grounds is the quarter-mile asphalt dragway strip. You might want to check out that racing with speeds up and over to more than 200 MPH. This track has their own classes of divisions to race against each other as well. There are some fast Pro Car, Dragsters, Pro Bikes and Imports, just to name a few. Again some are faster, a different style, different horsepower and so on. The dragway just started back on Sundays for the race day, gates open at 10:30 a.m. Visit the track’s website at www.delawareracing.com for upcoming events or join us on Facebook too. Finally, one more form of racing at the

Late Model Twin 20’s Night winners Hal Browning and Kenny Pettyjohn.
Longtime Modified racer Kenny Brightbill has brought some tight racing action in the NAPA Big Blocks.
Young Tyler Reed runs full season in Modified Lite action claiming four feature wins.
Complex is the go-kart clay circle track, US 13 Kart Club Track. Just before entering the grounds on the left is the go-kart track. Now this kind of track has people bringing their own go-karts to race in the different divisions offered. I’ve had some ask if they can rent a kart to race or drive. This is not that kind track. But kids race, adults young and old race. The track is off this Friday, but will have the state race

Police Journal Held on weapons charges
On Aug. 19, Delaware State Police were summoned to the 11000 block of Orange Blossom Road, Seaford, for a gun complaint. Around 11:47 p.m., State Police received a 911 call regarding a person pointing a gun at a victim and then shooting off rounds. State Police contacted a 42-yearold Seaford woman who advised she observed two individuals walking in the area of German Road, Seaford. The victim recognized one of the suspects and inquired into their course of business. A second unidentified suspect is alleged to have taken a shotgun from Brian A. Neal, 29, of Seaford, and pointed it at the victim. The victim, who was in a vehicle, drove away and heard two shoots being fired presumably in the air. After the incident, Delaware State Police observed two individuals fleeing the area of Concord Pond Road, Seaford. Neal was apprehended, however, the second suspect got away. State Police is trying to identify the second suspect. Neal was arrested for possession of a deadly weapon by a person prohibited, aggravated menacing, second degree conspiracy and second degree reckless endangering. He was remanded to Sussex Correctional on $7,500 cash bond.
Police arrest two for robbery
The Laurel Police Department has arrested two male juveniles for the attempted robbery that occurred on Aug. 15, at Food Lion in Laurel. Two suspects attempted to steal a purse from a female victim as she was walking into Food Lion. The woman was able to keep her purse but suffered injuries from the ordeal. The suspects, ages 13 and 15, were arrested after investigators received tips and conducted interviews. The 13-year-old was arrested on Aug. 20 and the 15-year-old was arrested on Aug. 21. Both suspects have been charged with first degree attempted robbery, first degree assault and second degree conspiracy. The suspects are being held at the Stevenson House in Milford on $21,000 secured bail.
Paramedics assaulted
On Monday, Aug. 16 at 7 p.m., Delmar Fire Department EMT’s responded to Britts Lane, Delmar, for a subject allegedly passed out on his front lawn. EMT’s found Clodoaldo L. Santos, 38, of Delmar, lying in his yard. State Police learned that Santos arrived
at his residence, pulled into his driveway, exited his Ford pick up truck and stumbled across his yard before collapsing. When the fire department arrived, they attempted to ascertain the condition of Santos, however, they were met with obscenities. Santos continued to make verbal threats toward four different emergency medical technicians. While attempting to load Santos onto a stretcher, Santos kicked, punched and spat at the emergency medical crew. Once Santos was placed into the ambulance, he ripped his IV’s out flinging blood about the inside. Santos was transported to Peninsula Regional Medical Center for treatment and, after being released the next day, was charged with nine counts of offensive touching against ambulance and, or EMT’s, terroristic threatening, driving under the influence of alcohol and disorderly conduct. He was remanded to Sussex Correctional in lieu of $5,600 secured bond.
Dentist arrested
Attorney General Beau Biden has announced the arrest of Wilmington pediatric dentist Marieve O. Rodriguez on 20 counts of felony HealthCare Fraud. The charges stem from a 13-month investigation by the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit that was initiated following a referral from the Delaware Division of Health and Social Services Medicaid Program Integrity Unit and a tip received through the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Hotline. Rodriguez was arraigned at JP Court 20, where bond was set at $150,000 secured. She was ordered not to practice dentistry, treat any patients or write any prescriptions with the charges pending.
Seventh DUI follows chase
On Aug. 19 at 2 a.m., Delaware State Police received a call about a hit and run vehicle fleeing the scene of an accident on Coastal Highway and Old Landing Road, Rehoboth. A 2007 Nissan Maxima driven by Thomas Garvey, 46, of Rehoboth Beach, was in the left turn lane of Coastal Highway intersecting with Old Landing Road. The second vehicle, a 2004 Saturn Vue driven by Robert A. Hynes, 47, of Wilmington, rear-ended the Maxima. After the crash, Hynes fled the crash scene and began driving northbound in the southbound lanes of Coastal Highway. Troop 7 officers caught up with Hynes
on Rolling Meadows Development on Windsor Court, Lewes. He was arrested for his seventh offense driving under the influence of alcohol after being convicted on six prior offenses. Hynes had convictions in 1986, 1988 (twice), 1992 (twice) and 1993.
Prescription drug robbery
On Aug. 17, Delaware State Police investigated a robbery complaint at the entrance to Pot Nets Creekside, Millsboro. The robbery is reported to have occurred around 2 p.m., near the mailboxes at the entrance to the development. The 34-year-old victim was obtaining mail and had just returned to his car when approached by the suspects. The suspects were driving a brown station wagon and a white vehicle they used to block the victim’s vehicle and exit. The first suspect, Eric A. Lemiska, 30, of Millsboro, displayed a switchblade toward the victim and demanded he hand over an Oxycodone prescription. Lemiska then placed his hand around the victim’s neck allegedly strangling him and, at the same time, attempted to stab the victim. The second suspect, Joseph C. Brett, 35, of Lewes, assisted in the robbery by holding the victim’s legs. The victim, starting to lose consciousness, threw the prescription pill bottle at Lemiska. Lemiska and Brett recovered the pill bottle and fled the crime scene. Lemiska was seen fleeing in a brown station wagon and Brett in a white vehicle.
Gas Lines
Recent losses in the crude oil market have trickled down to gas prices, as the national average price for regular grade gasoline dropped five cents last week to $2.72 a gallon. Crude Oil Prices For the second consecutive week, crude oil prices have fallen following continued signs of slow economic recovery. Oil prices have fallen nearly 10% from early August highs close to $83 a barrel, trading back in the $70 to $80 range where they have been for most of the past ten months. Crude oil’s decline can be directly attributed to less than favorable economic news from the U.S. and abroad. Jobless claims rose to their highest level in nine months last week, increasing concerns about the pace of recovery in the U.S.
The victim was familiar with the suspects and provided additional information to investigators. State troopers responded to Lemiska’s residence and apprehended both suspects. State Police additionally recovered a switchblade on the front seat of Lemiska’s vehicle alleged to have been used during the robbery. Lemiska and Brett were charged with first degree robbery, conspiracy and additional weapons offenses. Lemiska and Brett were remanded to Sussex Correctional each on $55,500 secured bond.
Injured in crash
On Aug. 18, the Delaware State Police Crash Reconstruction Unit investigated a serious motor vehicle collision at the intersection of Millsboro Road SR 24 and Careys Camp Road (CR 421), west of Millsboro. The crash between a 1992 GMC 10 wheel log truck and a 2005 Kia sedan occurred shortly after 5 a.m. A logging truck driven by Peter E. Brown, 57, of Georgetown, was eastbound on Millsboro Road when the Kia sedan, which was traveling southbound on Careys Camp Road failed to stop at the stop sign. The operator of the Kia, Leslie A. Mayhew, 33, of Ocean City, Md., pulled into the path of the 10 wheel truck and was struck on the passenger side. Mayhew was in critical condition at Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury. The operator of the truck was not injured.
A look ahead “The summer driving season is winding down. Motorists continue to benefit from a remarkable pattern of gas price stability this summer,” said Jana L. Tidwell, AAA Mid-Atlantic spokesperson. “Recent crude oil declines and sluggish economic recovery continue to impact prices at the pump, and this week we saw a five-cent drop in prices at the national level. This is welcome news as we approach the end of the summer driving season.” Local pricing On Tuesday gas stations from Delmar to Greenwood were selling regular gasoline in a range from $2.499 to $2.659 a gallon. The high is eight cents less than a week ago, the low is down seven cents.

Woodbridge Elementary earns ‘Academic Achievement’ award By Cathy Shufelt
Administrators at Woodbridge Elementary School were pleased to learn that the school has received one of only five Delaware Department of Education “Academic Achievement” Awards. In a letter dated Aug. 4, Secretary of Education Dr. Lillian Lowery informed all five schools about their award which is based on the schools having “significantly closed the achievement gap OR having exceeded the Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for two or more consecutive years.” The winning schools are Pulaski Elementary School, Brookside Elementary School, Kuumba Academy, Woodbridge Elementary School and Long Neck Elementary School. Each of the five winning schools has among the state’s highest population of low-income students. This award gives the five schools $150,000 each and was created by the Delaware General Assembly (Senate Bill 151)
in 2009 and is funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Schools receiving this award are required to form an Allocation Committee consisting of teachers, paraprofessionals, parents and administrators as soon as possible. Members of this committee are responsible for deciding how the school will spend the money. The funds are federal Title 1 funds and can be used for a variety of things such as one-time salary bonuses; purchasing supplies, books and equipment for the school; or to fund new programs for students. In an email announcing the award to the community, Superintendent Dr. Kevin Carson stated, “Congratulations to WES for being selected as a State of Delaware Academic Achievement Award Winner! Dedication and hard work by many staff members, students and community members have led to this recognition, congratulations again.” Plans for the funds are due to the state Department of Education by Sept. 1.

Area high school students learn all about engineering Seventeen Sussex County high school students attending a summer Upward Bound Math & Science (UBMS) program worked on a project with the engineering technologies department at Delaware Technical & Community College, Owens Campus. The students were introduced to engineering, mechanical design and manufacturing while attempting to create the most efficient spinning top. The project was developed and conducted in the engineering technologies department by Dr. Doug Hicks, department chair; David Pedersen, instructional coordinator; Ron Sitze, lab technician; and Bill Benchoff, volunteer. Math, science and related careers and programs are sometimes referred to as STEM which stands for science, technology, engineering and math. “STEM fields are not easy,” said K. Ryan Brown, program manager at the UBMS Center. “We need to encourage and support students to put forth the extra effort to succeed in these fields. Mentoring by STEM professionals, like those in the engineering department, is vital to their success.” “Students are learning a great deal while being introduced to fundamental engineering principles,” added Brown. “Spinning tops are a great application for students to learn about and appreciate physics.” Before designing their tops, students learned about the physics of spinning tops and characteristics such as weight, center of gravity and rotational inertia that influence a top’s balance.
They were then asked to sketch a design for an efficient top based on the physical principles that govern how a top works. Everyone was given the same size aluminum blank to make the top. Once they had their individual sketches, the students worked in small teams to pick the best overall design ideas. They input the design into the computer-aided design (CAD)/computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software which controls the computer numerical controlled (CNC) machine that fabricated the actual top from the piece of aluminum. “They gave us paper and we had to design a spinning top,” said Brentdy Chavez, 14, of Seaford. “Then we entered the data in the computer and got technical with it – densities, measurements, things like that, and saw a 3-D image of our design. Next we went to the machine that actually cut it (the spinning top) out, tested it and entered it in the competition.” The teams also entered their designs into a parametric 3-D modeling software package called Inventor. The students used the Inventor software to calculate their top’s weight, center of gravity and rotational inertia. It was then time to see which team’s top would spin the longest. To keep things fair, each top was spun three times by three impartial spinners. The overall average spin time determined the winner. The first place top was designed by Deanna Sigai, Seaford, and spun for an average of 73.3 seconds; Marybeth Kemski, Bridgeville, and Jordan Sigai, Seaford, designed the second place top which av-

eraged 54.2 seconds; and the third place top had an average spin time of 52.6 seconds and was designed by Yanet Berduo, Georgetown; Alona Soto, Millsboro; and Kyle Poplaski, Blades. “This program provided a great opportunity to show these young people how science, engineering and technology are used to design, test and build a simple toy,” said Dr. Hicks. “I think it became clear to all of them how much we rely on
people working in STEM careers to produce all of the things we take for granted in our society.” The mission of the Upward Bound Math & Science Center program is to encourage high school students who are traditionally underrepresented in postsecondary education due to income or family educational background in preparation for post-secondary education in a science, technology, engineering or math field.

Fresh Air Program will bless Doing the Towns Together more than just the children LAUREL AND DELMAR SOCIALS
Her name was Cookie. Given name was Patricia Ann. She was nine years old that first summer. A slender little girl from New York City with the biggest dark brown eyes anyone had ever seen. A little girl filled with awe and wonder, a child whose mother had died when she was only seven years old. And here she was in Laurel, Del., after a long ride from center city New York in the middle of a long hot summer, on a huge bus that was filled with other young children with the same anticipations, fright and wonder at what in the world was about to happen to each of them. Chuck and I, along with our 10-year-old daughter, Bonnie, and two sons, Philip, 8, and John, 7, were anxiously awaiting the arrival of the little girl who would be a part of our family for two weeks. We, too, were filled with anticipation, awe and wonder. Our family and five or six other host families, gathered out at the old Kosters Locker Plant on North Central Avenue, just across from Andy Anderson’s Service Station/ hangout. We each probably had quick second thoughts as to just what we had allowed ourselves to get into. The shy, somewhat somber children looked so very young. They were! But, with huge eyes and suitcases clutched tightly, they jumped off the bus and their adventure (and ours) was underway. It was a new beginning. These were Fresh Air Kids, fresh from the huge city of New York and here they were in quiet, little Laurel, Del. Smiles quickly replaced the frowns and looks of apprehension as the children were welcomed with open arms into the “new” families where life would be very different for the next two weeks. No trolley cars, no city buses, very little traffic, no rush hour, only strangers determined to bring joy to the visitors and a new experience to their own family. The adventure had begun! Cookie was a part of our lives for two weeks that summer; a summer that would end with tears and memories of a lifetime for each of us. In short order — after a supper of fresh fried chicken (Sussex County style), and all the trimmings, a hot bath, and lots of chatter — everyone was acquainted and the kids were off to the meadow as Cookie was given a tour of our property. During those next two weeks she spent hours and hours in our meadow, playing in the stream (in those days there was lots of water), enjoying the baby chicks, ducks, our goats (Priscilla and Matilda), our rabbits, dogs, cats and all the other pets we had. From dawn until dark there was plenty of free time, open air, lots of green grass, new experiences. Chuck would pile up the kids and me in our old station wagon and we would be off to explore Trap Pond (those were the days when everyone went there to swim), we would have a picnic lunch and then he would nap before going in on the 4 to 12 shift. Little league games occupied the kids at night. There were trips to Washington, D.C., and the Salisbury Zoo. Hours were spent swinging on the huge wild grape vines beside Mr. Jim Cordrey’s chicken houses across the stream, pulling fresh tomatoes and other veggies from Chuck’s monstrous garden, even learning how to pull weeds and cut fresh flowers every day. Cookie and her father lived in a threeroom flat on the fourth floor of their center

Moments With Mike Virginia ‘Mike’ Barton city apartment building. (There weren’t even any fourth floor apartments in Laurel!) Every hour of every day was a new adventure, not only for Cookie but for our family as well. The hours simply flew by. The child matured that summer, as did our own offspring. At departure there were tears of joy and sorrow — joy over the adventure and sorrow over the fact that she must go back to New York City. Cookie came back to us the next summer and the third summer. But, by the third summer she was maturing and so were our children. She planned to stay four weeks that summer but returned the third week, totally homesick. We wrote regularly after that, sent greetings and gifts on special holidays, but the cards and calls became fewer as each family member became engrossed in their own life. We totally lost touch. And, then, suddenly, on a bright summer day, a tall, slender young woman with twin sons about 10 years old arrived at our doorstep, greeted us with, Hi, Miss Mike, remember me? I’m Cookie.” Her brown eyes had the same little girl wonder and sparkle, her smile was broad as can be. Her sons were mirror images of their mother at their age. Cookie had graduated from high school and college, was a teacher in a middle school. They had been to South Carolina and the beaches and she wanted her sons to meet our family. She lived outside of Manhattan now, had a full, productive life. She chattered wildly about the Fresh Air Program and the changes it had made in her life (and ours). Early this month, the Laurel Nazarene Church hosted 14 Fresh Air Fund visitors in Laurel. The church members, the host families, the families of the visitors built memories that will last a lifetime. As a supporter of this program even all these years later, I would encourage others to give serious consideration NOW to enriching not only their own life but the life of another, next year. I promise, you will be the one who is blessed forever!

Walk raises $1,170 for Angelman Syndrome Last Saturday’s walk was the second that the Lee family has organized to benefit the foundation. “I’m really glad to help any cause,” said Butler, starting on her eighth lap. “That’s part of what I do.” The walk was sponsored by Mt. Calvary United Methodist Church in Bridgeville, attended by Pat and Butch Lee, and Bethel United Methodist Church in Federalsburg, Md. The churches make up the Bridgeville UMC Charge. More than 100 people contributed to the effort and nearly 50 people participated in the walk, raising $1,170 for the Angelman Syndrome Foundation. Davahn Lee, Aniyah’s brother,
Cost adjustment for irrigation wells has spawned interest By Tony E. Windsor A recent decision by the Town of Laurel to reduce costs associated with installing a second municipal water connection for lawn and garden irrigation has started paying off, according to town officials. During the Monday, August 16, meeting of Laurel Mayor and Council, Public Works supervisor Woody Vickers said he has had at least four recent inquiries by residents seeking to take advantage of the cost savings of a second connection. He said two of the requests have been completed and two other residents have shown an interest in having a second connection installed. In 2008, the town passed an ordinance that prohibited irrigation wells in the town. The reason for the ordinance, according to Vickers, was to protect the town’s primary potable source water. Because the 2008 ordinance prohibited private irrigation wells in the town, the alternative provided by the town became an only option. At that time Vickers said the cost of irrigation well could run between $3,000 and $4,000. He said the costs include a $500 impact fee, a $1,000 connection fee and $584 for a water meter, pit and cover; all before the actual installation. He said at this rate the project becomes cost prohibitive and residents lose interest in accepting this alternative irrigation source. Town officials sought to find a way to provide an alternative to those residents who wanted to have property irrigation. Under Vickers’ recommendations the town developed a plan to allow a second municipal water line that would be restricted to providing irrigation. The resident would be expected to pay a normal water fee, but the second line would not need to be treated at the waste water treatment plant, so there
would be no sewer fee. Vickers recommended to Mayor and Council that the town charges a flat rate of $550 to Laurel residents who desire lawn and garden irrigation. The cost would include a dual meter pit, meter, installation cost and inspection fee. “The reduction in cost would help provide an equitable solution to existing Town residents who want to irrigate their lawns,” Vickers said. Vickers said the town Public Works Department does all of the work in-house. He feels that this is a more equitable solution for those people who have wanted to have a second water line for irrigation. This involves taking out the existing water meter and installing a dual meter that can accommodate two lines. There is a separate water meter for the irrigation line. The new cost plan has apparently created an interest in residential irrigation sources and Laurel Mayor Shwed sees this as a good thing. “This recent interest is indicative of the lower costs of the irrigation connections,” Shwed said. “This speaks well of our actions to reduce the costs, so we hope to see even more residents take advantage of this opportunity.” Vickers said the Public Works Department is recommending for new construction in Laurel that dual meter pits be installed and larger laterals also be installed to the property. He said future large scale developments or commercial projects, the same dual meter pits will be installed and larger laterals will be installed to the property as well. He said in the case of new development the town will need to evaluate at the time the project is being planned. The town initially passed the ordinance to prohibit private irrigation wells as a means to protect its underground water sources from potential contamination from runoff.

Sonice, who was pushing Aniyah in a stroller, said that she planned to walk three laps; when Palmer, her mother, said that she was walking 10 laps, Sonice reconsidered. “Put me down for 11,” she said, laughing.

time friend of the family, she said, and wanted to do what she could to help. Missy Roche traveled from her home in Smyrna to participate in the walk. She met Aniyah and her parents through Nurses and Kids, a medical daycare service where Roche works.

WHAT IF LOCALLY RAISED CHICKENS SIMPLY DIDN’T EXIST?
Who would step up to replace livestock and poultry producers as the number one customer for U.S. soy? Where would we get the meat that is responsible for providing most of the protein necessary to feed the world? And how would we replace the millions of tax dollars they generate to help create new roads, repair existing ones and build new schools and parks? Animal agriculture helps your rural community thrive. That’s why it’s important that we all continue to give them our support. Because a safe and secure food supply and a safe and secure rural community both come from the same place – inside the barns and out in the fields of your rural neighbors. Soybean farmers helping livestock and poultry producers just makes sense.

By Lynn R. Parks Doris Butler was walking on the track at the Woodbridge Athletic Complex near Bridgeville. She was in the middle of the seventh of eight ¼-mile laps that she was determined to walk and any talking that she did had to be done on the go. “I can’t stop,” Butler, 73, said. “If I stop, that will be it.” The walk in which Butler was participating was to benefit the Angelman Syndrome Foundation, which helps families of people who have Angelman Syndrome. Butler attends church with Pat and Butch Lee, Bridgeville, whose granddaughter, Aniyah Lee, 10, has the genetic disorder.

Volunteers sought for cleanup In an effort to turn the tide against trash and debris along area beaches and riverbanks, Delmarva Power is once again partnering with environmental, governmental and business organizations in support of the 24th annual Coastal Cleanup this fall. Coastal Cleanup will take place on three Saturdays – Sept. 11, Sept. 18 and Sept. 25 – at 53 sites throughout Delaware, Maryland and New Jersey. The regional Coastal Cleanup is part of International Coastal Cleanup, sponsored by Ocean Conservancy, an organization that works to protect the world’s oceans. The types and quantities of trash collected will be itemized. The data will then be used to pinpoint the source of debris and focus on ways to reduce or eliminate waste. In last year’s cleanup, more than 2,600 volunteers collected an estimated 27,000 pounds of trash.Some of the more unusual finds included an iron blast furnace, weedwhacker, child safety seats, baseball glove, hockey stick, toilet tank float, shopping carts, two grills, an air conditioner and a jar of cherry peppers.
The Ocean Conservancy supplies trash bags, data cards and pencils. Delaware’s cleanup is also co-sponsored with Delmarva Power which provides collectable t-shirts for the participants and Playtex, which provides gloves. DNREC is responsible for organizing the event, recruiting volunteers, distributing supplies, ensuring trash removal and tabulating all the data collected. Many municipalities help with the trash pick-up. The cleanup spans Delaware’s 97-mile eastern coastline and includes river and ocean shorelines as well as wetland and watershed areas. This year, more than 40 sites in New Castle, Kent, and Sussex counties are targeted. The rain date is set for the following Saturday, Oct. 2. Volunteers are encouraged to pre-register to ensure everyone has the supplies they need and receive a complementary International Coastal Cleanup t-shirt. To register online, visit www.dnrec.delaware. gov and click on the link for Coastal Cleanup. For more information, call Joanna Wilson, Delaware Coastal Cleanup coordinator, at 302-739-9902.
At the recent kickoff, displaying the 2010 t-shirt for Coastal Cleanup volunteers in Delaware and Maryland, from left, are Delaware Coastal Cleanup Coordinator Joanna Wilson, Secretary Collin O’Mara of the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control, Matt Likovich of Delmarva Power, Maryland Park Ranger John Somers from Janes Island State Park in Crisfield and Kathy Phillips, executive director of the Assateague Coastal Trust.

The Kingdom Hall on the SeafordLaurel Highway (Rt. 13A), Seaford, came down last Thursday to clear the area for a slightly larger, updated building. The original building is 43 years old. It was erected in 1969 and they did a add-on in 1989 for more room, restrooms, etc. Photo to Left was taken August 12 at 8 a.m. and photo to right at 4:30 p.m. The Jehovah’s Witnesses from all around the area do the actual construction. It was decided that it was less expensive to knock down and rebuild rather than try to refurbish it again. The congregation expects that the new building will be up in approximately 10 weeks. They are planning to be in it by mid to late October. Photos by Tina Reaser

The secret to finding the hottest jalapenos to enjoy
They tell me that the jalapeno is our favorite chili pepper and I have oretta norr no reason to dispute the claim. We American chili lovers use jalapenos in everything from appetizers to desserts. I am a lover of spicy food so I have frequent occasion to visit the supermarket chili pepper section.

Turn the speed to low and mix in the chocolate mixture until thoroughly combined. Blend in the vanilla. Add the flour, cinnamon, almonds and jalapenos and continue beating until combined well. In a separate bowl, with a hand or electric mixer, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form soft peaks. Add the remaining tablespoon sugar and continue beating until soft peaks are formed. With a rubber spatula, fold one-third of the egg whites into the chocolate batter until thoroughly combined. Then fold in the remaining egg whites gently and continue folding until no streaks of white are visible. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the center of the oven for 25 minutes. The cake will seem quite soft and under-baked in the center. This is the way it is supposed to be. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack to room temperature or for at least 1/2 hour. Run a thin, sharp knife around the edge, invert the cake onto a cake plate or footed cake stand, and peel off the wax paper. Note: This cake can be served plain, dusted with confectioners’ sugar and each serving mounded with Kahlua-flavored whipped cream.

been attacked on the way home and my report card stolen. But, I knew all of these would only delay the pending misery. So, I would throw a big smile on my face and hand Dad the report card. I think there were actually times when Dad would hope that he would look at the report card and find that I had finally “buckled down” and made the grade. NOT. He would look at the report card and say almost the same thing he had said when he got the last report card, “Son, it would be different if I thought this was as good as you could do. But, you are an A or B student.” Then he would throw in that line that really stung, “You are actually smarter than your brother, Tommy.” Who was he kidding? Albert Einstein could have taken classes under my brother, Tommy. I knew my brother Tommy and I was no Tommy Windsor. I was certainly smart enough to realize that. I certainly was not smart enough to take advantage of the learning opportunities of school. My presence in the classroom was much like a running generator motor during a power outage; it has to be there, but no body wants to hear it. When I wasn’t acting like a retarded ape, I was asleep. You always hear about teachers waking sleeping students with a tap on the shoulder or on his or her desk. In my case, I would not be surprised to

That would not have been so concerning to me, except it was during a fire drill. I guess I was not always the most popular person in school. I remember my 10th grade typing teacher wrote in my yearbook that I was the Most Likely to wind up in a rehab. But, as my Uncle Stanford once said, “There are those of us who graduate from high school and others of us who graduate from the ‘school of hard knocks.’ ” I am a certified, honors student graduate of the School of Hard Knocks. There is no greater or more ruthless teacher, than life itself. Those of us who choose to treat the gift of school and education as nothing more than a social gathering and a captive audience for our buffoonish side shows, will one day “pay the piper.” I have so many times wished that I had actually listened and participated in the classroom experience. I have no doubt life would have been much easier and though I am happy with the several jobs I hold, things could have run much smoother. Now, in hindsight, I think Dad was right. I probably was an A or B student; I just lacked the most important source of knowledge – common sense.

Celebrating Aug. 26, 1920
Ninety years ago this month our state and nation experienced change of revolutionary magnitude, but who knows what it was? July 4th is celebrated with parades and fireworks, but what about Aug. 26? Fortunately, the League of Women Voters of Sussex County is prepared to remind us that on that day in 1920 a proclamation was issued, announcing final approval of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution, extending the right to vote to women. Many Delawareans, however, are unaware of the role our own state played in this epic struggle. Who knows of Mary Sorden Stuart of Greenwood, whose fight for women’s suffrage began shortly after the Civil War and culminated with her appearance before the U.S. Senate’s Judiciary Committee in 1880? Many have heard of suffragists Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, but how many are aware of their 1881 address to our General Assembly supporting efforts to change our state’s charter to permit women to vote? Fewer still have heard of Delawareans Mabel Vernon and Florence Bayard Hilles and their arrests while picketing the White House in 1917. In Sussex County, the League of Women Voters will recognize the 90th anniversary of this important day with the showing of the acclaimed film Iron Jawed Angels at the Milton Theatre in downtown Milton.
Drive cautiously thru school zones
As 56 million students across the United States and nearly 200,000 students in Delaware start the 2010-2011 school year, AAA MidAtlantic and the Mid-Atlantic Foundation for Safety and Education remind motorists to be aware of increased child pedestrian activity and traffic congestion in and around neighborhoods and school zones. With more than half of those students in elementary school, the auto club urges drivers to be especially cautious and alert during the morning and afternoon hours. During 2008, one-fifth (20%) of all children between the ages of 5 and 9 killed nationwide in traffic crashes were pedestrians (78 deaths), according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Pedestrian injuries for this age group totaled 4,000 in 2008. Fortunately, in Delaware, there were no pedestrian deaths for children ages 5 to 9 in 2008 or 2009, according to the Delaware State Police. However, pedestrian injuries among the same age group totaled 20 in 2008 and 31 in 2009. Back-to-school is an exciting time for children. Unfortunately, children are unpredictable and not always mindful of traffic safety. Children may have difficulty gauging the distance

AAA’s annual School’s Open – Drive Carefully campaign aims to help reduce the number of school-related pedestrian injuries and fatalities by encouraging motorists to stay alert in school zones, as well as in residential areas where children are present heading to and from school. As part of the campaign, the auto club and the Mid-Atlantic Foundation for Safety and Education offer the following tips for motorists to help keep children safe as they return to school. • Slow down and follow the speed limit. Whether in a school zone or residential neighborhood, motorists should keep their speed low and be prepared to stop quickly for school buses and for increased vehicle or pedestrian traffic. • Come to a complete stop at intersections with stop signs. Research shows that more than one third of drivers roll through stop signs in school zones or neighborhoods. • Look for clues of children nearby. Keep an eye out for clues that children are likely

Give free enterprise support to turn the economy around By Tom Donohue
President and CEO, U.S. Chamber of Commerce
Congress has concluded one of the most consequential periods of legislative activity in recent memory. It passed a major stimulus bill, a health care bill, and financial regulatory reform. It dramatically increased spending, taxes, and regulations. With Congress on recess until September, now is a good time to step back and ask what it all means—for us as individuals, for our businesses, and for our country. Beyond disagreements over specific bills, there’s really only one debate that matters: Do we want a free enterprise economy that empowers individuals, unleashes the creativity of the American people, and a government that understands its limited role? Or do we want a commandand-control economy where government makes all the decisions? There is something called “The Ten Cannots” that crystallizes this debate. It is often attributed to Abraham Lincoln, but it was actually written by an inspirational speaker, Reverend William Boetcker: • You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. • You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. • You cannot help little men by tearing down big men. • You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. nearby such as AAA School Safety Patrol members, crossing guards, bicycles and playgrounds. • Scan between parked cars. Nearly 40 percent of child pedestrian fatalities occurred between the hours of 4 p.m. and 8 p.m., mostly at non-intersection locations, according to NHTSA. Children can quickly dart out between parked cars or other objects along the roadway. Motorists should pay close attention not only at intersections, but along any residential roadways where children could be present. • Always stop for loading or unloading school busses. It may be tempting to drive around stopped school busses, but not only is it dangerous, it’s against the law. Flashing yellow lights on a school bus indicate it is preparing to stop to load or unload children, and motorists should slow down and prepare to stop. Red flashing lights and extended stop arms indicate the bus has stopped, and children are getting on and off. Motorists are required to stop their vehicles from either direction of the road, and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the extended stop sign is withdrawn and the bus begins moving before they can start driving again. • Eliminate driver distraction. Motorists should always avoid distractions while driving,
• You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. • You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. • You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. • You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money. • You cannot build character and courage by destroying men’s initiative and independence. • You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves. Today, we have a government attempting to do all the “cannots.” There’s a better path. It’s called free enterprise. It operates on a few fundamental principles: • It’s the private sector that creates jobs, not government; • Individuals are better at spending and investing money than bureaucrats in Washington; • The health and safety of workers and consumers can be achieved without strangling growth and innovation; • Americans can compete and win globally if given a level playing field; and • The ability to risk, fail, and try again is at the heart of the American Dream. Free enterprise has the power to turn our “cannot” economy into a “can-do” economy, creating jobs, opportunities, and prosperity. Doesn’t it deserve our support?
but it’s particularly important in school zones and residential neighborhoods. Looking away from the roadway for just two seconds doubles the chance of being involved in a crash. Avoid talking on mobile phones, adjusting the radio or any other activities that might take attention away from the roadway. Never text while driving. • Plan ahead and allot extra travel time. Leave early for your destination and build in extra time for congestion. Modify your route to avoid school zones and traffic. The Mid-Atlantic Foundation for Safety and Education also urges parents and caregivers to instruct children in the “A-B-Cs” of traffic safety: A – Always obey school crossing guards and AAA school safety patrols. B – Look both ways every time you cross the street. C – Use crosswalks and corners to cross the roads even when cars are not around. D – Don’t run or rush, and do remember that drivers can’t always see you. E – Even and especially when it is raining, snowing, or cold, follow the safety rules. F – Face it: you are no match for a car. They are faster and bigger, and they can be a danger to kids, so watch out!

Washington Post pays a price for its support of liberal causes
In response to Reid Williamson’s letter (Morning Star August 19 - 25, 2010) regarding my editorial, “News Articles around the Beltway,” I have the following comments: First, I am pleased that Mr. Williamson read my editorial on the Washington Post’s “inside-the-beltway” flavor, and saw fit to critique it. An additional plus — Mr. Williamson resides inside the beltway. Political dialogue representing diverse points of view is healthy for our nation in these difficult times. As Mr. Williamson stated, I am well aware that the Post does feature conservative columnists. I often quote Charles Krauthammer. However, as he readily admits, the Post’s editorial policy is decidedly liberal. My editorial’s sole purpose was to provide the observations of a Delmarva conservative regarding the Post’s Outlook section. The Post is typical of much of the mainstream media, using its dwindling influence to promote liberal causes and candidates. Newspapers have every right to publish their points of view; however, they have paid a price. The Post has suffered over the past twenty years, losing over 20% of its circulation. I cannot disagree with one of Mr. Williamson’s observations: I did not mention Lt. Col. Oliver North’s actions that were similar to Sandy Berger’s. I am well aware of North’s participation in the Iran - Contra Affair, and his similar removal or destruction of classified material. I am a retired Marine Lt. Col. myself, a contemporary of North, and followed the hearings closely. However, my editorial had no pretense of impartiality, and that event occurred over twenty years ago. In regards, to Christopher Hitchens, I did not make a mockery of his alcoholism and was unaware of his being ill with cancer of the esophagus. I will be praying for his recovery. Mr. Williamson did not see fit to question the other article that I addressed, the hatchet-job on Sarah Palin by Jessica Valenti, the founder of feministing.com. I guess he either agreed with my assessment, or couldn’t fault my observations. The mainstream press has an important role as a source of both information and commentary for most Americans. I wish the Post and other newspapers had exercised the same investigative zeal during the recent presidential election that Woodward and Bernstein did in their Pulitzer Prize-winning Watergate investigation. We might have been spared electing the least qualified presidential candidate in our nation’s history. Fred Seth Seaford
On friendship
The following poem was submitted by Rob Wallis. He graduated from Seaford in 1947 and now lives in Towson, Md. A friend can make cares fly away and smiles appear out of nowhere! Everybody should have a somebody to remind them they’re somebody
when they feel like a nobody. Even those who don’t seem friendly can often use a friend! Be yourself! You are unique! God has given you a gift, a gift of caring about others. Now untie that gift!
Take good care of friendship Never let it be neglected, A friend who knows and loves you Is a gem to be protected!

Last Laugh Hillbilly Birth Deep in the back woods, of Letcher County, Kentucky a hillbilly’s wife went into labor in the middle of the night, and the doctor was called out to assist in the delivery. Since there was no electricity, the doctor handed the father-to-be a lantern and said, “Here. You hold this high so I can see what I am doing!” Soon, a baby boy was brought into the world. “Whoa there,” said the doctor, “Don’t be in such a rush to put that lantern down. I think there’s another one coming.” Sure enough, within minutes he had delivered a baby girl. “Hold that lantern up. Don’t set it down. There’s another one!” said the doctor. Within a few minutes he had delivered a third baby. “No, don’t be in a hurry to put down that lantern, it seems there’s yet another one coming!” cried the doctor. The redneck scratched his head in bewilderment, and asked the doctor, . . . “You reckon it might be the light that’s attractin’ ‘em?” Submitted by Bob Wooten
