The Seaford City Council Tuesday night OK’d a land lease agreement with the Nanticoke Senior Center that allows the center to own the building that it plans to construct on city property. The 40-year lease agreement, with an option to renew for 10 additional years, stipulates that plans for the new senior center have to be submitted to the city by July 1 of next year. It also says that if the lease is terminated, any building on the property will go to the city. The senior center, currently sharing space with the Western Sussex Boys and Girls Club, plans to build a new “life enhancement center” on six acres in the city’s Ross Business Park. The city had originally planned to own the building, in an agreement similar to those it has with the Seaford Volunteer Fire Department and the Soroptimist Club. But in April, Christy Pennington, a consultant with Horizon Philanthropic, Lewes, who is leading the effort to raise $2.37 million for the new senior center, told the council that fundraising could be more successful if the building that the organization is asking for money for will in the end be owned by the organization. She was pursuing government loans and grants, she said, and applications for that type of funding have to come from the owner of the building. Wednesday morning, Pennington said that an application for federal funding of the construction is still pending. The senior center has received several grants, including one from the Longwood Foundation for $400,000 and another from the Welfare Foundation for $150,000. It is also close to having final approval for a low-interest USDA loan, money that it would use for “bridge financing,” PenContinued to page five

The Seaford Historical Society’s annual fall Victorian Tea will be held on Saturday, Sept. 26, at 2 p.m. in the Ross Mansion on Ross Station Road (formerly North Pine Street Extended). This festive activity offers an excellent opportunity for gracious entertaining in the ambiance of the historic mansion. It is reminiscent of the pre-Civil War days when Governor Ross’s wife entertained her friends. Hostesses and servers in period Costume add to the aura of the event. John Kisela will travel from room-to-room performing on a dulcimer, a stringed instrument of the 1700s, recreating musical sounds of centuries ago. Guests may tour the 13-room mansion which is fully furnished with antiques of the period, many of which formerly belonged to the Governor Ross family. Charge for the tea is $10 per person. Reservations are required and may be made in multiples of two by calling Ruthe Wainwright at 629-8765. Seating is arranged with four people at each table. Persons who wish to sit together should so indicate when making reservations. Only 40 people can be accommodated.
Underground Railroad discussion and power point presentation
On Tuesday, Sept. 8, at 7 p.m. at the Methodist Manor House, Dr. David L. Ames, director of the Center for Historic Architecture and Design at the University of Delaware, will offer a Power Point presentation on the Underground Railroad. Dr. Ames will tell how the Harriet Tubman route through Maryland connects with Delaware. His professional photographs will show specific sites and locations that harbored the slaves as they were escaping. Having this program scheduled for a Tuesday is a departure from the usual Monday night because of the Labor Day holiday. Dr. Ames is a professor of Urban Affairs and Public Policy, Geography and material Culture Studies. He teaches courses in historic preservation and land use and environmental planning. He is a member of the Executive Committee of the Winterthur Program in Material Culture. He has done the research for the nomination for the Underground Railroad Historic ByWay and is presently working on the nomination of a Historic and Scenic ByWay for Western Sussex. This program is sponsored by the Seaford Historical Society and the Methodist Manor House. It is open to the public and there is no charge. For further information call the Seaford Historical Society office at 628-9828.

City well to get first state inspection since the ‘90s By Lynn R. Parks
For the first time since the 1990s, the state will conduct a site investigation of the city of Seaford’s Arbutus well. City manager Dolores Slatcher told the city council Tuesday night that she had just received notification of the investigation. The investigation will take place in early September, Slatcher said. The cost of the survey will be borne by the state. Investigators will test the quality of the well water and will probably talk
with businesses and residents in the area of the well, Slatcher said. A final report will be provided to the city. In the late 1980s, the Arbutus well was found to be polluted with perchloroethylene, or PCE, a synthetic chemical that is used in dry cleaning and for metal degreasing and that is classified by the World Health Organization as a probable carcinogen. As part of a consent decree between the DuPont Company and the government, a treatment system was installed at the well
site. Even though DuPont sold its Seaford nylon plant to Koch Industries in 2004, the company is still required to conform to the mandates of the consent decree. With the treatment, the water is well under the tolerance level for PCE, Slatcher said. The city recently built a 50- by 50-foot structure around the treatment system so that it can be operated year-round. Previously, the treatment system had to be shut down during winter months.

nington said. “Our hope is to raise the total amount so we can pay off the loan as quickly as possible,” she added. Pennington said that the senior center is currently working on contractors’ bids. She anticipates that construction will start in October or early November and will take 12 to 15 months. The center’s lease with the Boys and Girls Club is up in March. The center is looking at several options for temporary quarters, Pennington said, so that’s its meals program and exercise programs can continue. “Our seniors will not be out on the street,” she added.
plenty of room to fix a combine By Lynn R. Parks
Hoober Inc., a farm equipment sales and service business on West Stein Highway in Seaford, got the final OK Tuesday night from the city council for construction of a 15,750-square foot building. The building, to be constructed on the east side of the Hoober property, about 16 feet from the existing building, will be used as a repair center for large pieces of farm equipment. As part of the construction project, Hoober will redo its parking lot, putting in a sidewalk, curb and landscaping between the parking lot and the highway. The entrance to the business will be on the east
end of the parking lot, and the exit on the west end. Two wells currently on the property will be abandoned and the business will tie into the city’s water system. Last September, as part of its preliminary approval of the project, the city council agreed to Hoober’s request to delay tying into the city’s septic system until Tull Gardens, a development planned for land north of the business, is started. Final approvals for the project have also been received from the state fire marshal’s office, the Delaware Department of Transportation, the Sussex Conservation District and the state’s Office of Drinking Water.

Stimulus funding will benefit Seaford Police Department By Lynn R. Parks Federal stimulus money has come to the Seaford Police Department. On Tuesday, Chief Gary Morris outlined to the city council how he hoped to spend the $86,403 that his department received. The bulk of the money, $38,000, will pay for a new car, the purchase of which was approved by the city council at the Aug. 11 meeting. The department will also buy tasers and taser supplies ($19,000), radio equipment ($5,500), two laptop computers for the command vehicle ($3,000) and a digital recorder and monitor ($4,000). Most of the rest of the money, nearly $16,000, will pay for technical services and mobile data airtime that used to be paid through a state grant. By unanimous vote, the city council approved Morris’ request.
New Ford Escape purchase
The city of Seaford’s code department is getting a new SUV. The city council Tuesday night approved the purchase of a 2010 Ford Escape from Hertrich Fleet, Seaford. Total cost is $16,496. This includes the trade-in of a 1998 Bravado currently owned by the city. The city received one bid in addition to Hertrich’s. I. G. Burton submitted a price of $22,090, $20,090 with the trade-in. Budgeted amount for the new vehicle is $20,000.

Business Farnell awarded Emeritus status
George Farnell, broker and president of Callaway, Farnell and Moore, Inc., has been awarded “Realtor Emeritus” status from the National Association of Realtors (NAR). The designation is awarded to those persons who have held membership in NAR for a cumulative period of 40 years in one or more George Farnell associations of realtors. Farnell received his award recently at the 2009 Realtor of the Year Awards Luncheon at the new Sussex County Association of Realtors (SCAOR) Professional Complex near Georgetown. First licensed with the Delaware Real Estate Commission in 1961, Farnell is a past president of the Sussex County Association of Realtors, and has served as chairman of the Ethics Committee and other committees of the Delaware Association of Realtors. He was the first realtor in Sussex County to attain the professional designation of CRB (Certified Residential Brokerage Manager). He is also a licensed broker in Maryland.
Economic ombudsperson named
Governor Markell has announced a new “economic ombudsman” who will help coordinate activities across agencies, ensuring a rapid response to businesses looking to create jobs for Delawareans. The ombudsperson will serve as a liaison to businesses, communities, local economic development organizations, regulatory agencies, local governments and State agencies. When an opportunity for new jobs arises, they will facilitate an efficient and expedient conduct of the permitting process by coordinating with State agencies and local governments in a manner that deploys resources effectively and hastens those processes, within the parameters of existing state laws and local ordinances and controlling local land-use authority. Cleon L. Cauley Sr. will become the state’s first economic ombudsman. Cauley is deputy legal counsel to Governor Jack Markell, where his responsibilities include advising the governor on legal and policy issues. Before joining the governor’s office, Cauley worked as an associate in WolfBlock LLP’s Real Estate, Environmental and Land Use Practice Groups, where he concentrated his practice on zoning and land use matters including land use-related litigation. Cauley will add the position’s responsibilities to his current job, so this initiative
IRS website can help businesses For many citizens, owning and running a successful business is part of the American dream. But few business owners are tax experts and the IRS is prepared to help. Free publications, Internet resources and electronic services are available to make their work easier. The small business section of IRS.gov provides a onestop resource for information on starting, operating, or closing a business. On this site taxpayers can learn about employment tax requirements; make tax payments; find out how to set up and distribute retirement plans; view a streaming video of a small business tax workshop; and access free products such as a tax calendar or small business resource guide. IRS.gov is also the gateway to a host of electronic services for small businesses including business e-file and the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS). E-Filing options include employment taxes, information
returns, partnerships and corporations. EFTPS is an alternative to paying taxes by check or money order. The “Small Business and Self-Employed Tax Center” section of IRS.gov enables small business owners and selfemployed individuals to access information using the “A-Z Index for Business” searching topics in alpha or category order such as business types, business expenses and employees. For telephone assistance with tax issues, small businesses may call 1-800-829-4933. Small business owners and self-employed taxpayers are also encouraged to sign up for e-News for Small Businesses, an electronic subscription newsletter that brings timely, useful tax information right to their computer. For more information, visit IRS.gov. The IRS website link for the “Small Business and Self-Employed Tax Center” is www.irs. gov/smallbiz.
will not cost taxpayers additional funds. As part of the effort, Markell is requiring each state agency to identify people to serve on Rapid Response teams, whose jobs will include: • responding, at the direction of the ombudsperson, to significant economic development initiatives;
• providing the requisite expertise, authority, and staff resources appropriate to facilitate rapid resolution of issues related to the review and consideration of significant economic development projects; and • identifying opportunities to improve and expedite the review and permitting processes.

MORNING STAR • AuG. 27 - SepT. 2, 2009
IRS warns consumers to beware of identity theft certain personal information, including phone numbers, via return e-mail. The e-mail may be just the first step in a multistep scheme, in which the victim is later contacted by telephone or further e-mail and instructed to deposit taxes on the funds or winnings before they can receive any of it. Alternatively, they may be sent a phony check of the funds or winnings and told to deposit it but pay 10 percent in taxes or fees. Thinking that the check must have cleared the bank and is genuine, some people comply. However, the scammers, not the Treasury Department, will get the taxes or fees. Form W-8BEN In this scam, fraudsters modify a genuine IRS form, the W-8BEN, Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding, to request detailed personal and financial information. This could include nationality, passport number, bank account and PIN numbers, spouse’s name and mother’s maiden name, or other personal or financial information or security measures for financial accounts. The scammers may use the genuine form number and name or may make up a new form number, such as W-4100B2. They either e-mail or fax the form or letter. If only a letter, the letter itself contains the request for the personal and financial information. The letter, which claims to come from the IRS, states that the recipient will face additional taxes unless he or she quickly faxes the required information to the number provided by the scammer. In reality, taxpayers file the genuine Form W-8BEN with their financial institutions, not with the IRS. Additionally, the genuine W-8BEN does not request the taxpayer’s passport number, bank account number, security or similar information. Refund scam The bogus e-mail, which claims to come from the IRS, tells the recipient that he or she is eligible to receive a tax refund for a given amount. It instructs the recipient to click on a link contained in the e-mail to access and complete a form for the tax refund. The form requires the entry of personal and financial information. The refund scam is the most common one seen by the IRS. Several recent variations on this scam have claimed to come from the Exempt Organizations area of the IRS. Some others have included the name and purported signature of a
genuine or a made-up IRS executive. Taxpayers do not have to complete a special form to obtain a refund. Taxpayer refunds are based on the tax return they submit to the IRS. How to spot a scam Many e-mail scams are fairly sophisticated and hard to detect. However, there are signs to watch for, such as an e-mail that: • Requests detailed or an unusual amount of personal and/ or financial information, such as name, SSN, bank or credit card account numbers or securityrelated information, such as mother’s maiden name, either in the e-mail itself or on another site to which a link in the e-mail sends the recipient. • Dangles bait to get the recipient to respond to the e-mail, such as mentioning a tax refund or offering to pay the recipient to participate in an IRS survey. • Threatens a consequence for not responding to the email, such as additional taxes or blocking access to the recipient’s funds. • Gets the Internal Revenue Service or other federal agency names wrong. • Uses incorrect grammar or odd phrasing (many of the email scams originate overseas and are written by non-native English speakers). • Uses a really long address in any link contained in the e-mail message or one that does not start with the actual IRS website address (www.irs.gov). To see the actual link address, or url, move the mouse over the link included in the text of the e-mail. What to do The IRS does not initiate taxpayer contact via unsolicited e-mail or ask for personal identifying or financial information via e-mail. If you receive a suspicious e-mail claiming to come from the IRS, take the following steps: • Do not open any attachments to the e-mail, in case they contain malicious code that will infect your computer. • Do not click on any links, for the same reason. Also, be aware that the links often connect to a phony IRS Web site that appears authentic and then prompts the victim for personal identifiers, bank or credit card account numbers or PINs. The phony websites appear legitimate because the appearance and much of the content are directly copied from an actual page on the IRS website and then modified by the scammers for their own purposes. • Contact the IRS at 1-800-
829-1040 to determine whether the IRS is trying to contact you. • Forward the suspicious email or url address to the IRS mailbox phishing@irs.gov, then delete the e-mail from your inbox. Genuine IRS website The only genuine IRS website
is IRS.gov. All IRS.gov webpage addresses begin with http:// www.irs.gov/. Anyone wishing to access the IRS website should initiate contact by typing the IRS.gov address into their Internet address window, rather than clicking on a link in an e-mail.

The Internal Revenue Service reminds consumers to avoid identity theft scams that use the IRS name, logo or website in an attempt to convince taxpayers that the scam is a genuine communication from the IRS. Scammers may use other federal agency names, such as the U.S. Department of the Treasury. In an identity theft scam, a fraudster, often posing as a trusted government, financial or business institution or official, tries to trick a victim into revealing personal and financial information, such as credit card numbers and passwords, bank account numbers and passwords, Social Security numbers and more. Generally, identity thieves use someone’s personal data to steal his or her financial accounts, run up charges on the victim’s existing credit cards, apply for new loans, credit cards, services or benefits in the victim’s name and even file fraudulent tax returns. “The scams may take place through e-mail, fax or phone, said Delaware’s IRS spokesperson, Gregg Semanick. “When they take place via e-mail, they are called ‘phishing’ scams. The IRS does not discuss tax account matters with taxpayers by e-mail.” The IRS urges consumers to avoid falling for the following recent schemes: Making Work Pay refund This phishing e-mail, which claims to come from the IRS, references the president and the Making Work Pay provision of the 2009 economic recovery law. It says that there is a refundable credit available to workers, consumers and retirees that can be paid into the recipient’s bank account if the recipient registers their account information with the IRS. The e-mail contains links to register the account and to claim the tax refund. In reality, most taxpayers receive their Making Work Pay tax credit, which was designed for wage earners, in their paychecks as a result of decreased tax withholding, not as a lump sum distribution from a federal fund. Additionally, consumers and retirees who are not wage earners are not eligible for this tax credit. Inherited funds/lottery winnings/cash consignment In this phishing scheme, recipients receive an e-mail claiming to come from the U.S. Department of the Treasury notifying them that they will receive millions of dollars in recovered funds or lottery winnings or cash consignment if they provide

These subjects include a 15-year-old male from Seaford; a 13-yearold male from Salisbury, Md.; and two 10-year-old males from Seaford. The two suspects at large include William Davis, 19, of Seaford and a 14-yearold male from Seaford. Arrangements are being made for the two remaining suspects to turn themselves in. The four defendants were arraigned at the Justice of the Peace Court #4 in Seaford and released to a parent pending a hearing in Family Court. Charges include third degree burglary, criminal mischief, second degree conspiracy and theft under $1,500.

As a result of the investigation, Laurel Police executed three search warrants. On Aug. 10 at 6 a.m., Laurel Police executed a search warrant at 206 E. 6th St. where they recovered crack cocaine, marijuana, U.S. currency, guns and ammunition.

The passenger was seen fleeing the vehicle with a large bag of marijuana. Both the passenger and driver were caught after a short foot pursuit. During the foot pursuit, the driver ripped the bag of marijuana open in an attempt to discard the evidence. Officers were still able to recover over 200 grams of marijuana. The driver, Robert Jones, 24, of Laurel and the passenger, Kyle Winder, 21, of Laurel, were both arrested. Jones was charged with possession with the intent to deliver marijuana, maintaining a vehicle, possession of marijuana within 1,000’ of a school, disregard of a police officer’s signal, second degree conspiracy, driving while suspended, failure to signal and obstruction of driver’s view.

Two die in crash
On Wednesday, Aug. 19, at 9:27 a.m., State Police responded to a fatal injury crash on U.S. Route 9, just east of SR 5 in Harbeson. The crash involved a trash truck and a passenger vehicle. The crash occurred when an Oldsmobile, traveling eastbound on US 9, exited the roadway for an unknown reason and collided into the trash truck on the shoulder of the roadway. A 2007 10-wheel Blue Hen trash truck was stationary on the eastbound shoulder of US 9. The operator of the trash truck, Matthew Cooper, 42, of Millsboro, was in the driver’s seat of the stopped truck and operating the truck’s mechanical arm. While Cooper was emptying a trash container with the mechanical arm, the Oldsmobile Cutlass collided into the rear of the trash truck. Both the operator, Scott Wantrobski, 47, of Rehoboth Beach, and the front seat passenger of the Oldsmobile, James Mills, 52, of Georgetown, died upon impact. They were the only two occupants of the vehicle and were both wearing seat belts. Alcohol and drugs are not believed to be a factor in the crash.

‘Rolling Tribute’ pays visit to veterans By Carol Kinsley
Joseph LaRosch is only 25, too young to know anything about World War II beyond what he has learned in history books or from talking to older people. Yet the Newark resident believes every veteran needs to be honored. “Yes, there are monuments to World War II veterans,” he acknowledged, “but most of those men and women will never see them.” That’s why he has launched a “rolling tribute” in the form of a 1944 Jeep which saw service in Normandy, Belgium, Austria and Germany. After the war, the Jeep was sold to the Belgium army, from whom it was purchased by a man in California, who had it shipped to the States. It was later purchased by a man in Quakertown, Pa. That’s where LaRosch, in response to an advertisement, found the Jeep languishing in an old barn. LaRosch, who works for Basher & Sons welders in Hockessin, bought the vehicle with his own funds and had work done on the body, engine, electrical system and paint. He drives it for short distances. For longer hauls, he puts it in a trailer. “This way the memorial can go to the veterans,” LaRosch said. “It’s going to anyone who’d like to sign it who served in the war.” The Jeep memorial is just getting started on its journey. On Aug. 14, LaRosch brought it to Heritage Nursing Home in Milford for its second public visit. He ended the day with a total of 60 signatures. At its first stop, in Wilmington, a woman donated her husband’s Army uniform which is now part of the rolling display. Vickie Cox, administrator at Heritage, heard about the Jeep and invited LaRosch to bring it to Milford. She also arranged for refreshments by the Heritage at Dover staff under the direction of Ceclia Russ, and for the Milford Community Band to entertain the residents and guests with music both patriotic and reminiscent of the war era. Tents were provided for additional seating in the shade, and red, white and blue decorations added a festive air. Residents dressed up for the event. “You don’t often hear veterans share their stories,” Cox noted. “Most don’t talk about it to outsiders, those who are not part of the ‘fraternity’ who also served.” As LaRosch says, “Every soldier has a Jeep story.” The Jeep serves as a connection, a starting point for conversations.

When she learned that a World War II Jeep was coming to Heritage Nursing Home in Milford to be signed by veterans of the war, Charlotte Dressler asked if she, too, would be allowed to sign.

name was Levitsky. Both nurses, they volunteered together, went in together and came out of service together. “We were always together,” Sinner said. They served at Fort Meade, Camp Lee and in Normandy, where they worked in a big surgical hospital set up in a tent. When Charlotte Dressler of Milford heard of the impending arrival of the rolling tribute, she asked if she might be allowed to sign also. “I was on the other side,” she said. She was born in Vienna,
Austria, and had seen Hitler 12 times, explaining that whenever he came to the area the townspeople were told to come out to see him. LaRosch welcomed her signature. “I am a veteran of that war,” Dressler said as she shared with LaRosch a photograph album from 1942. Groups interested in a visit from LaRosch and his Jeep may contact him at 2221 Glasgow Avenue, Newark, DE 19702. If he is able to get there — considering he works full-time — he’ll come.

Punkin Chunkin partners with Science Channel The Punkin Chunkin Association will celebrate World Championship Punkin Chunkin’s 24th year at the Wheatley Farm near Bridgeville on Friday through Sunday, Nov. 6-8. The World Championship Punkin Chunkin Association has partnered with the Science Channel which will allow thousands of people who are unable to travel to Delaware to see the event and also draw many more people to Sussex County to witness this phenomenal weekend competition. Science Channel will broadcast two hours of Punkin Chunkin coverage on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 26 beginning at 8 p.m. The first hour will be “The Road to
Punkin Chunkin” and will celebrate some of the teams as they work to prepare for the competition. The second hour, “Punkin Chunkin,” will cover the three-day competition. “Punkin Chunkin bolsters the local economy with revenue that goes to a wide variety of local businesses such as restau-
rants, hotels, campgrounds, shops and the local purveyors of products sold on the grounds at the festival,” said Frank Shade, Punkin Chunkin Association. “The Punkin Chunkin Association has, for the past several years, raised approximately $80,000 per year to distribute to a variety of charities and to a scholarship

Scenic and Historic Byway committee to meet next month
The effort to create a new historic route in Sussex County moves forward next month with the meeting of the Western Sussex Scenic and Historic Byway Advisory Committee, scheduled for 7 p.m. Sept. 17, at Seaford City Hall. The advisory committee, a reforming of a similar panel established in 2004, will help assist in the creation of a byway linking cultural sites in western Sussex County. The route designation would extend more than 22 miles in the area of the U.S. 13 corridor, snaking its way on existing back roads from Bridgeville through Seaford and Bethel to Laurel. In March, County Council endorsed the concept to create a byway in hopes the proposed route would help connect historic locations while promoting tourism in the area. The County’s sponsorship
lays the foundation for an application to be made to the Delaware Department of Transportation, which must approve the byway designation. That application is expected to be submitted by March 2010. If DelDOT approves the plan, federal funds then will be sought to help draft a corridor management plan, a document which would identify ways to link and draw attention to historical landmarks along the route. The advisory committee meeting is a forerunner to public hearings that will be scheduled at a later date. It is, however, open to the public. For more information, contact County Historic Preservation Planner Dan Parsons at 302-856-6138 or visit http:// dspace.udel.edu:8080/dspace/ handle/19716/4238.

Going for the gold in the Senior tournament By Lynn R. Parks Eileen Armstrong had 20 stitches in her left foot from one surgical procedure and 10 stitches in her right hand from another surgical procedure. But she wasn’t going to let that stop her from participating in the Delaware Senior Olympics’ shuffleboard tournament. “This is the first day I’ve had a shoe on,” said Armstrong, walking toward the court to take her shot. “I’m dedicated!” Armstrong, 58, of Georgetown, was one of 15 competitors in the tournament, which was held last week at the Methodist Manor House in Seaford. At the end, she walked away with a gold medal in her age group. The competition took place on the Manor House’s outdoor courts, between the facility and the Nanticoke River. The courts, which can accommodate eight players at once, are made of a rubber-like material and are kept waxed so that the shuffleboard pucks slide easily. “This is a beautiful court,” said Rich O’Shaughnessy, Wilmington, president of the Delaware Senior Olympics and one of a handful of onlookers during the tournament. Previous state shuffleboard cham-
pionships have been held at Westminster Village, a retirement home in Dover. Shuffleboard is one of 27 sports sponsored by the Delaware Senior Olympics, open to people 50 and older. Organized competitions “are a good way to keep people off the couch,” said O’Shaughnessy, 75, a swimmer. “Our goal is to bring fitness and better health to seniors.” Shuffleboard in particular is good for maintaining flexibility and balance, he said, and keeps the players moving. “No game is ever the same as another game,” said John Evan, 78, of Dover. “It’s like pool, or golf. You never know how it’s going to go. Every time you play it’s different.” “It keeps your mind going,” said Ed Kauffman, 87, a Manor House resident who claimed a gold medal in last week’s tournament. His wife, Clare, 84, went home with a bronze. The Kauffmans are among about a dozen Manor House residents who play shuffleboard every Wednesday and Saturday. Once a year, they challenge members of the Manor House staff. “They always kick our butts,” said Jonathan Souder, director of the facility’s

wellness center. “We might win a couple of points, but they really beat us.” Souder was at last week’s tournament, putting fresh fruit and vegetables through a juicer to make cooling drinks for the competitors. The temperature on the sunny, humid day topped 90 degrees. But that didn’t keep Sally Beise, 86, off the courts. A shuffleboard veteran of 16 years, she walked away with a gold medal. In one of the three rounds in which she competed, she got two of her four pucks on the 10-point block, the highest-scoring block on the court.

Seaford boosters host sixth annual Play Day despite the rainy weather By Lynn Schofer
Thunder and lightning did not keep over 400 Delaware and Maryland High School field hockey players from traveling to Seaford for the Sixth Annual Seaford High School Play Day last Saturday. In the morning, before the first whistle blew, a strong storm hit Seaford and heavy rain fell on the hockey fields. Event volunteers worked hard, arriving as early as 5 a.m. and by 9 a.m., the event started (only one hour behind schedule). Several local teams participated in the Seaford Play Day, including Laurel, Woodbridge, Sussex Tech, Delmar, and Seaford. Matches were set to begin every 35 minutes on the six fields that were set up for play and the teams played 20 minute games. Each team had an opportunity to play several different opponents in a short period of time. Seaford and Laurel matched up in the second game and first year Laurel coach Donna Ward said, “I didn’t know what to expect because my appointment was only approved this past Wednesday night at the Board meeting.” Coach Ward is excited about her freshman season, “Play Day is allowing me to see the girls play together on the field,” she said. “I feel we matched up very well against Seaford, we are scrappy but a hard working team but I now can see
what we will go back and work on before the first game of the season.” Play Day Chairman Jack Riddle said the whole idea came about in order to raise money for field improvements. Seaford had no choice, the fields were ruled unplayable, however, the District did not have the money and the only thing to do was raise it. Today the Boosters have raised enough money to install in ground irrigation for two Bermuda grass hockey fields. “The event grows every year and each year seems to get better,” Riddle said. “We have to turn teams away because we are at full capacity” Woodbridge coaches Connie Bean and Lindsey Petrone said Play Day is great for coaches. “We get to see what the girls do well at and it gives some of the girls a chance to play without pressure of losing something,” said Bean. Coach Bean said the girls get to showcase their abilities and the coaches have an opportunity to develop ideas for improvements. The regular season is set to begin the week on September 11, giving coaches another three weeks to prepare for regulation play. Seaford Play Day 2009 was a huge success and after the 24 teams and over 400 girls headed home, the Seaford Boosters began to plan Play Day 2010.

Palmer gets first Super Pro win at U.S. 13 Super Chevy By Charlie Brown
The 46th Annual William J. Cathell Memorial Super Chevy Show, Shine and Drags was another huge success for the U.S. 13 Dragway last Sunday. A total of 331 race cars and a large field of show cars were on hand to see Mark Palmer of Snow Hill pick up his first win of the season in Super Pro. Roger Ridgeway, Jr. of Dover revisited victory lane in Pro and James Farmer of Felton added to his long list of wins in Pro Bike. Other winners on the day included Paul Costley of Lancaster, Pa., in Street, Matt Pry of Millsboro in Import, Robert Brummell of Salisbury in Bike Trophy, Jerel Davis of Salisbury in Jr. Dragster 1 and Shelby Bireley of Salisbury in Jr. Dragster 2. Palmer, in his ’94 Lumia, faced Carlton Mason of Pocomoke in his ’72 Chevelle in the Super Pro final. The two were close at the start but Palmer had the better run and took the win with an 8.720/155.11 on an 8.70 dial. Palmer became the 16th different winner in the division this season. Mason ran an 8.647/156.44 on an 8.63 dial. Semifinalists were Tommy Ketterman of Salisbury and Keith Wildonger of Seaford.

Semi-finalists were Ron Fensick, Jr. of Bridgeville and D.J. Lockwood of Berlin, Md. Costley took advantage of a red light foul by Michael Barger of Millsboro to win in Street Eliminator. Costley drove his ’80 Chevy to the win with an 11.549/116.12 on an 11.48 dial. Pry in his ’96 Honda posted his first win in Import over Clayton Evans of Onancock, Va. Pry had the better reaction time at the start and took the win with an 11.298/122.85 on an 11.20 dial. Evans ran a 21.851/58.34 on a 21.30 dial.

SUDOKU ANSWERS:
Despite heavy early morning rain, the day cleared and 24 teams played 72 head to head games in the last big event prior to the beginning of the field hockey season. Teams from throughout Delaware and Maryland played in the Sixth Annual Seaford Hockey Play Day on Saturday.

Delmarva auto alley Don’t miss the last ‘Run What You Brung’ event By Bonnie Nibblett
Summer has flown by at the Delaware Motorsports Complex located just one mile north of the MD/DE state line. The Complex is the home of the Delaware International Speedway (1/2 mile clay track), US 13 Dragway (1/4 mile), which has currently switched back to running on Sundays, and just before you enter the complex, the US 13 Kart Club Track. This weekend, the speedway will run the last “Run What You Brung” event in the Late Models & Modified divisions. Drivers, teams can add wings, spoilers, and whatever they can think of to make them faster. The last “Run What You Brung” held on May 23, had Jordon Watson II in big block action and Richard Jarvis Jr. in the Late Model class taking the wins. The URC Sprints will return the following week on Sept 5. They always go super fast and put on a great show each time they visit. Currently at this writing JJ Grasso leads in points with Davey Sammons second and Chris Coyle in a close third. Grasso has had a banner year with his new ride in the Cathy and Pat Palladino #99. The action at the speedway has been some close door to door racing in all classes. NAPA Big Block has had a big battle between HJ Bunting III and Jamie Mills in wheel to wheel racing. Bunting has picked up five wins, along with Mills matching in wins. Other winners include Matt Jester with two wins, and Scott VanGorder and Dana Walker with one win each. Who will win this week? Mills is currently leading in points with Bunting second, followed by Matt Jester. The Late Model action has eight different winners this season; Richard Jarvis Jr. is leading in points. Ross Robinson has been right there knocking at victory lane’s door but has yet to close the deal. He has been in the top five almost every week. That win will be there soon. Rob-

inson is currently in second in points at this writing. On Aug. 15, Eddie Pettyjohn, who just turned 63, returned in the 8Ball to the winners circle after many years off. The Modified Lite division had Curt Miles Jr. collecting his first career win. Although Steve White has dominated in this class, there have been several other winners - Brandon Dennis, Tim White, Kevin McKinney have all scored a win. The AC Delco Modified crate class has had a good full field of cars every week. One rookie, Kyle Fuller has collected his first career win this year. Matt Hawkins claimed his first career win a couple weeks ago. There have been seven different winners so far this year. Jon Callaway has recently taken the seat in the #42 and he collected a win back on Aug. 8. This is the first time he has ran in the crate modified; Callaway has had quite a few championship titles when he drove Modified Lites.The other crate class, Crate Late Model has been full each week with great racing. This class has also had seven different winners. Rookie Matt Hill collected his first career win on Aug. 15. A few more drivers that were rookies last year have also claimed a win this season - Chris Hitchens, Nick Davis and Tyler Reed. If you have not made it to the track this year, don’t wait any longer before you come to watch the fast stock cars on that clay oval. September ends the circle track action until the champ show in November. There are no races currently scheduled for the month of October. We are very fortunate to have such a classy race track to go to every weekend so don’t miss out on all the fun. For more details on events, check out the track’s website at www.delawareracing.com or call the office at 302-875-1911. The US 13 Dragway just had Super Chevy weekend and the Wm.

PB&J sandwiches - always a school lunch favorite I know I say this every year, but this summer really has whizzed by oretta norr faster than a speeding bullet. In many areas, school lunch bags are already being filled with PB & J sandwiches – the perennial favorite of kids of all ages.

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Cut two limes into wedges and set aside. Grate zest from remaining lime into a large bowl and squeeze in its juice. Add peanut butter, sugar, nam pla and enough water to make a smooth sauce (start with 1/2 cup and add more as needed). 2. When water comes to a boil, put noodles in pot; remove from heat. 3. Put oil in a large skillet over high heat. A minute later, add shrimp and season with salt. Cook and stir until shrimp just begins to turn pink. Add scallions, carrots, garlic and chili and keep cooking and stirring until vegetables soften a bit and shrimp cooks through, just a minute or two more. Remove from heat. 4.

Sussex County wins a $40,000 grant to study energy practices
Sussex County will use a $40,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to develop a strategy to conserve and improve its use of energy, a plan that could earn the County an additional $648,000 to put its findings into practice. County Administrator David B. Baker announced the award on Tuesday, Aug. 18, during
County Council’s weekly meeting. The grant, among the first 20 in the nation, comes by way of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009, also known as the ‘stimulus’ package. The County will use the grant to hire a consultant who will construct a strategy based on the County’s energy con-
sumption and needs. The strategy must be submitted by Nov. 30. If approved, the federal government would release a second block of funding, totaling approximately $648,000, to the County to carry out the strategy’s goals, including recommendations for improving energy efficiency as well as
reducing emissions. Some ways to do that could include the installation of higher efficiency lighting fixtures in County buildings to evaluating and upgrading heating and cooling systems, as well as encouraging the use of renewable energy and ‘green’ technology. “Energy consumption and conservation are hot topics right
now, but they’re always a concern for businesses and government because both affect your budget,” Baker said. “We hope to learn, through this process, how we’re using energy and what we can do better to manage our usage. The ultimate goal is to improve the bottom line for the taxpayers of Sussex County.”
The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control will receive $1.23 million under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to assess and clean up releases of petroleum from underground storage tanks through a cooperative agreement grant with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Delaware is working on cleaning up more than 200 petroleum release sites where a leak from an underground storage tank has occurred. Since 1985, DNREC’s Tank Management Branch has addressed more than 3300 leak-
ing underground storage sites. Leaking underground storage tanks are a serious environmental concern because petroleum contains hazardous substances such as benzene, a known carcinogen which, when released from an underground storage tank, can seep into the soil and contaminate groundwater. In Delaware, more than 70 percent of the state relies on groundwater as a source of drinking water. Nationally, EPA is distributing $197 million in ARRA funding to states and tribes for underground storage tank investigation and
remediation. DNREC is limited to spending these funds at sites where an owner or operator of the tank system cannot be identified or is unable or unwilling to perform the necessary clean-up work. DNREC is also required to
attempt to recover any stimulus funds that are spent from viable responsible parties who may have caused or contributed to the release or operated or owned the tank system. The funding cannot be used to address releases from non-feder-
ally regulated tank systems, such as heating oil tanks. DNREC has identified 23 sites where the stimulus funding can be utilized. For more information, visit the Delaware recovery website at http://recovery.delaware. gov/.
Funds will clean up underground storage tanks throughout state
Donation sites are chosen for deer meat donation program The Division of Fish and Wildlife again will participate in the Sportsmen Against Hunger Program during the 2009-2010 Delaware deer hunting season. All donated deer will be processed, with the meat distributed to charitable groups participating in the program. The Division of Fish and Wildlife recently finalized deer donation locations for participating hunters, who may drop off their deer at any of the eight walk-in coolers maintained by the division. These coolers are checked periodically, and all donated deer are taken to Sussex Correctional Institution where they are processed. If a hunter donates a deer, the division requests that he or she call the phone number posted on the cooler, so that the deer is transported to the correctional institution for processing in a timely manner. Any deer dropped off at a cooler must be field dressed and registered, with the registration number written on the field tag attached to the animal. All deer taken in Delaware this year must be registered online, by going to http://www.dehip.com/deer/
default.asp, or by phone at 1-866511-DEER (3337). The number on the field tag will allow the Division of Fish and Wildlife to verify that a deer has been registered. In Sussex County, coolers for donated deer are located at: Assawoman Wildlife Area, Frankford; Fish & Wildlife’s Milford Mosquito Control Office, Milford (new location); Gumboro Community Center, Millsboro (new location); Redden State Forest Headquarters, Georgetown; and Trap Pond State Park, Laurel. Successful hunters may also take their deer to participating private butcher shops found throughout the state. In Sussex County, these include the following: Double “K” Deer Cutters, Georgetown; Johnson’s Custom Cutting, Milton; Mark’s Meats & More, Millsboro; and JAKOR Enterprises, Georgetown. For more information on the Sportsmen Against Hunger Program, visit the Division of Fish & Wildlife’s website at http://www. fw.delaware.gov/Hunting/Pages/ SportsmenAgainstHunger.aspx or contact Joe Rogerson at 302-7353600.

County approves purchase of 25 acres
Another part of Sussex County is going to the birds … and the deer, rabbits and other wildlife around. County Council, at its Tuesday, Aug. 18, meeting, approved $58,325 as its contribution toward the purchase of 25 acres along Hastings Farm Road, northeast of Seaford, in the Nanticoke River watershed. The action followed a recommendation by the non-profit Sussex County Land Trust, which advises the County on preservation efforts. The parcel of farmland and forest is adjacent to a larger, 440-acre tract known as the Middleford North Preserve, owned by The Nature Conservancy. Its inclusion in that preserve would
further protect habitat and ensure unspoiled lands remain along the banks of the Gravelly Branch, a tributary of the Nanticoke River. The County’s share – already budgeted for open space protection – will pay for half of the purchase; the Conservancy will pay the rest. Roger L. Jones Jr., state director of The Nature Conservancy, applauded the County’s decision, saying that the contribution will help the non-profit organization continue its mission of protecting critical areas and fragile habitat. Wendy O. Baker, president of the Sussex County Land Trust, said the property to be purchased is in a prime location, as it falls within her organiza-
tion’s goal to create a Grand Preservation Loop, a string of protected properties link throughout the county. Since 2003, County Council and the Sussex County Land Trust have partnered to use a mix of public and private dollars to purchase and preserve open space throughout Sussex County. Sussex County has committed more than $7.2 million and saved 3,225 acres in that effort. “Once again, Sussex County is demonstrating its fervent commitment to preserving open space for our children and their children,” Council President Vance C. Phillips said.
The Sussex County League of Women Voters will sponsor a debate between the two candidates vying for the seat until recently held by Joe Booth, State Representative District 37, on Thursday, Sept. 3, at 7 p.m. at the County Chambers in Georgetown, on the Circle in Georgetown. The election for this seat will be held on Saturday, Sept. 12. The candidates are: Ruth Briggs-King, Republican, of Georgetown, and Robert
Robinson, Democrat, also of Georgetown. There will be a 45 minute question and answer period and the candidates will each have the opportunity to make opening and closing remarks. Carol Jones of Sussex County League of Women Voters will be the moderator, assisted by Lee Jones, as timekeeper. These proceedings may be watched online at www.sussexcountyde.gov. For LWV meeting and membership information or directions, visit www.
sussexlwv.org or call Esther Shelton at 645-1797. The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issue, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.

Funds available for transit improvements U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has announced $17.0 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) funds for transit improvements in Delaware. “Rebuilding the nation’s infrastructure is a key part of that prescription for strength. It creates jobs today and builds a better, more sustainable economy moving forward,” said Secretary LaHood. The Delaware Department of Transportation will use the funds to purchase four rail cars to be used on the R2 line between Philadelphia and Newark, build a new maintenance facility, renovate a park-and-ride lot, and build a bus transfer center in Dover. Since President Obama signed ARRA into law on Feb. 17, grants totaling more than $5.7 billion have been made available for transit improvements throughout the nation. The U.S. Department of Transportation has made $48.1 billion available for highway, road, transit, bridge and airport construction and repairs nationwide. Of that, $25 billion already has been obligated to fund more than 7,701 approved projects in 55 U.S. states and territories.

dirty, by day’s end we looked more like street urchins from the set of Oliver Twist than normal children. You know you are dirty when your mother has to actually hose you down outside before she will let you come in the house to get cleaned up. We never wore shoes in the summertime and more often than not, the shorts we were wearing during the summer were previously the long pants we wore during the fall and winter. There was no new wardrobe come summertime. I think if the shorts were too small we would just run around in our underwear. For footwear we were each assigned a pair of rubber flip-flops. Notice I did not refer to this foot garment as sandals. These were flip-flops, so called because of the flip-flop action and noise that came as you walked down the street. I think Mom bought them at Grants or Silco and they were made so cheap that the only way she really could have gotten her money’s worth would be to have had them come with feet. Actually I think Mom liked them not only because they were a cheap, almost dispensable form of summer footwear, but also because they were so handy for whacking us when she did not have flyswatter or yardstick handy. All in all, summertime still sticks out in my mind as a time of non-stop action and outdoor fun that along with keeping us dirty kept us entertained. There were no video games, Internet or
Recycling plastic bags promoted Governor Jack A. Markell has signed legislation that will promote the recycling of plastic bags and reduce the harmful environmental impacts created by the bags. More than 1 million plastic bags are used worldwide each minute – 500 billion to 1 trillion each year – and millions of barrels of oil are used yearly to make bags. House Bill 15, sponsored by House Majority Whip Rep. Valerie J. Longhurst, will require that retail stores with at least 7,000 square feet of retail space or three or more Delaware locations establish an at-store recycling program for plastic bags. Those stores also must provide reusable bags, which customers may purchase. By Aug. 1, 2010, stores must include a message encouraging recycling on all plastic bags. Restaurants are excluded from the law. The law will take effect Dec. 1.

Library offers resources to help during a recession
Your library is a key resource to help you and your family weather the current recession. Providing resources to assist people through difficult times is an important service that libraries perform for their patrons on a daily basis. In an effort to further consolidate information for job seekers and anyone else feeling the impact of the current
recession, the Delaware Division of Libraries has launched two websites which can be accessed from anywhere, including your local public library. At the Virtual Career Center (http://guides. lib.de.us/careercenter), users are introduced to job-related books that can be borrowed from public libraries across the state for free using a library card. Tips on
As Wilmington City Council passes a ban on hand-held cell phones and texting while driving in the city, a AAA Mid-Atlantic poll shows 96% of Delawareans think states should pass laws that make it illegal for drivers to send a text message from a cellular phone or other wireless communications device while operating a moving vehicle. 64% of Delaware motorists favor a ban on the use of all cell phones by drivers and 63% of Delawareans say text messaging poses the greatest danger of all distracted driving activities. “Distracted driving is one of the top three safety concerns for Delawareans and the majority fear drivers who text message while
driving” said Catherine L. Rossi, manager of Public and Government Affairs for AAA MidAtlantic. “Wilmington’s ban will certainly make city streets safer, but drivers should not be lulled into thinking that a hands-free phone is safer. Studies show that hands-free cell phones are just as distracting as hand-held because the conversation is the distraction. The more emotional the conversation, the greater the distraction.” AAA prefers a more comprehensive distracted driving measure on the state level instead of the possibility of a patchwork of cell phone laws across various jurisdictions.
In Delaware, more than 2,000 children were homeless last year. In a collaborative effort to give our homeless children a warm sleeping bag that they can take with them wherever they go at the end of the day, a statewide Sleeping Bag Campaign seeks to gather new sleeping bags for homeless children ages 3-21. The campaign runs from Sept. 15 through Dec. 20 with several drop-off locations throughout Delaware. The following agencies are working together on this campaign: the Governor’s Advisory Council for Exceptional Citizens, the Developmental Disabilities Council, the Council for Excep-
tional Children, the Shepherds Place, Kent County Tourism, the Department of Education, Caesar Rodney School District, New Castle County Vo-Tech School District, Lake Forest School District, Food Bank of Delaware, the Oral Health Coalition, Delaware PTA, Kids Caucus, and the Lower Delaware Autism Foundation. These agencies will all bring sleeping bags to homeless children across Delaware by the end of the year. For more information about how you can help the campaign, contact Susan Hayes with the Governor’s Advisory Council for Exceptional Citizens at 302-7394553 or shayes@gacec.k12.de.us.

In addition, the Virtual Career Center presents links to selected quality resources with information for disabled individuals, senior citizens, African Americans, the GLBT community, ex-offenders, and other groups that encounter specific issues in seeking em-
ployment. Another guide, entitled “Recession Resources,” (http:// guides.lib.de.us/recession) offers a much broader menu. As an extension of Delaware’s library resources, this online guide gathers references in one place to take some of the stress out of locating valuable information. The site provides links to
social service and aid organizations, state and local government agencies, and other organizations that provide assistance to those struggling economically and for anyone trying to save money. All Delawareans can benefit from the tips on lowering energy, food and other costs. Additional resources will continue to be added to both guides.

the infant’s hand. Other reflexes include the Moro reflex. In this situation, the arms are pulled up and when they are let go, the infant throws them out and then up in a circular fashion. In the tonic-neck reflex, the child will maintain what appears to be the position of someone who is fencing. They turn their head to one side. The arm on that side is held straight out while the other
Everyone knows that foods full of fats, oils and grease can clog your heart’s arteries. What people might not realize is those same culprits can damage another kind of artery, too – to the more than 700 miles of sewer pipes beneath our feet every day. Sussex County’s Engineering Department reminds the public to “Use Your Brain, Not the Drain” when it comes to disposing of fats, oils and grease from the kitchen. Fats, oils and grease, or FOG, can cause messy and expensive problems, lining the interior wall of sewer pipes so badly that clogs build and block the flow of wastewater. That can lead to messy backups and costly clean-up bills for property owners and public sewer customers. Sussex County and its sewer customers
spend approximately $50,000 each year to clear FOG blockages and other clogs from public sewer pipes. County law prohibits the disposal of fats, oils and grease into public sewers. County law also requires commercial kitchens where public sewer is provided to have grease traps built into the plumbing of sinks and dishwashers. These traps should be maintained regularly, and the captured waste should be properly disposed of by a professional service. In the home, fats, oils and grease should be poured into a large metal can, then discarded in household trash. For more information, click on the “Cutting through the FOG” link on the County website at www.sussexcountyde. gov/dept/engineering/sw or call 302-8557719.
Residents are urged to dispose of cooking oils, fats, grease properly
arm is held flexed at the elbow. When the head is turned the opposite way, the arms change position as well. This usually appears at about two months of age. The social smile is different than these other reflexes. What happens is somewhat complicated. The first few times that an infant smiles are just accidental smiling motions of the mouth. The infant has no idea what he or she is doing. However, the parents make a huge fuss out of the smiling movement. They do this each time that movement is made. After a while the infant begins to realize that it is the mouth movement that is getting the parent excited. The parent is the one who feeds the child, changes its diaper and cuddles the child. That makes the parent important to the infant. If the parent makes a big fuss about the smile, the infant figures he or she can get the parent to spend more time with him or her by repeating the movement. Thus they begin to smile more. That gets a further
positive reaction from the parent. The result is a smile that becomes reproducible when attention is paid to the infant. This is far different than the normal reflex actions at this age. In order for it to occur several things are necessary. The first is that the child needs to recognize that a fuss is being made over something. The next is that the child needs to recognize what is causing that fuss. The third is that the child needs to recognize that he or she can control what is causing the fuss. The fourth is that the child then begins doing that intentionally. What is really happening is that the infant is showing that he or she is thinking like a logical human being. The social smile is not really an accident. A smile shows that the infant has normal intelligence. It is also something that is often taken for granted. However, in childhood development, the smile is the very fist sign that the infant thinks like the rest of us.

Bryan’s Bowling Center has busy opening By Lynn R. Parks The new Bryan Bowling Center in Laurel isn’t your grandfather’s bowling alley. For one thing, there’s hardly a black bowling ball in the place. Instead, balls are fuchsia, neon yellow and electric blue. “No one wants a black bowling ball anymore,” said lanes owner Pete Bryan. Who knew? And for another, the carpet, the lanes, even the space-age key pads that control the score displays all glow in the dark. In about a month, after all the special lighting is installed, the lanes will offer late night bowling with everything aglow. “This is really a dream come true,” said Bryan, a professional bowler who gave up his construction firm, Midway Builders and Siding, to devote all his time to the center. “I’ve been really busy getting everything ready and at times I would have said ‘nightmare,’ but I would say now it’s definitely a dream.” The Bryan Bowling Center opened
Saturday in the former Food City building on South Central Avenue. On and off throughout the day, all 14 lanes in the center were in use, Bryan said. “We were really crowded,” he added. Several groups of people spent the day there, eating both lunch and dinner from the lanes’ snack bar. The game room, with a pool table and 10 video games, was packed with people, Bryan said, and the lanes’ small bar, where there are three televisions, did a brisk business. “Some people came in, ate and left, and didn’t even bowl a game,” Bryan said. “Others came in and just sat and watched all the action. There were a lot of people here. It was hard to believe.” Bryan, a 1974 graduate of Laurel High School, first bowled when he was 20. “I immediately fell in love with it,” he said. He averages between 211 and 226 a game. He joined the Professional Bowlers Association in 1988 at the age of 32 after rolling to a 200 average two years in a row, and said that the design of his bowling al-

ley takes the best of the hundreds of alleys in which he has bowled. “The design is based on what I’ve seen, but I wanted something a little bit different too,” he said. Instead of a drop ceiling similar to what most alleys have, for example, this one has a cathedral ceiling from the front door back to where the lanes start. The lanes has a pro shop, where balls, shoes and other bowling equipment are available. It is also able to handle birthday parties and tucked off into a corner are two lanes of small-ball bowling, especially nice for children who can’t handle heavy bowling balls.
Bryan, who has been working 18 hours a day to get the bowling center ready for opening day, said on Monday that he was looking forward to having the time to bowl a complete game for the first time in months. “I’m anxious to see how I do,” he said. “I’m really tired right now,” he added. “But I am also happy—very happy.” For your information The Bryan Bowling Center is open every day, 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. (hours may change). The center is still accepting bowlers for league play, set to start after Labor Day. For details, call 875-7400.

Community attendance and support was remarkable for the Senior League World Series
Congratulations to the teams and the town The purpose of this letter is two fold. First, I would like to congratulate the Laurel Little League girls softball teams for, collectively, one of the best overall performances in recent years. The Pat Knight, Minor League, Major League, and Senior League girls all clinched their Delaware District III titles. In addition, the Major League girls won the State Championship, and advanced to the regionals in Albany, NY, while the Senior League girls went on to play in the championship game of the World Series in Roxana. Second, I would like to congratulate the Laurel Community for the outstanding support it showed the Senior League girls during the World Series. I was fortunate enough to attend all five of Laurel’s games, and the community attendance and support for each was remarkable. The crowds ranged from regulars who have attended Laurel Little League games for years to folks you would never expect to see at a ballpark. And, at every game, you could hear the signature “cow bell” and “dog barks” coming from the bleachers. I am very proud to be a member of a community that shows such overwhelming support for its youth’s athletic activities. State Rep. Biff Lee

Good performance needs to be recognized more often
In times when we all seem to have to work harder, the day-to-day life of a Realtor has an unending list of “to dos.” My day has the usual pleasant aspects that the consumer may see: showing lovely houses, meeting potential clients, networking and making new friends, open houses, and the profitable property settlement. What you don’t see is the “dark” side to real estate. On any given day, I transform to a mediator of sort, counselor between

husband/wives, partner/partner, neighbors who dispute a property line, a failed home inspection, broken promises, maintenance men, broken pipes, “new friends” who have run out of money. I have bought numerous water treatment systems, yet I have none in my own home. I have bought dishwashers and dryers, yet my own appliances are (not in the best) working order. It was that such a day this week when I yet again am finding myself missing a deadline and immediately going into “crisis mode.” I was truly in awe that there are still service providers who care about my outcomes and re-arrange their day to make my day come together. This was the case with Wayne Sammons. I called him with a flooring issue. He called me right back with a workable solution. Within four hours I had new flooring installed in my customer’s house and my problem went away. Wayne and I resolved this issue without ever meeting face to face. A couple of phone calls, a property address and it was over. As professionals, there is a lot of mutual respect between us both. I must, however, call out Wayne for really stepping up. Thank You!

‘I am not a right wing extremist nor am I a left wing liberal’
Remaining on the line taught me a lesson
I just received a “robo” call urging me to call Sen. Carper’s office and request that he support the Obama plan. I usually hang up on these calls, but this one held my attention because of the terminology being used to describe folks who oppose the plan. I chose to remain on the line and hear the whole ugly attack on the “right wing” opposition. I was offered the opportunity to “press 1” to be put through to Sen. Carper’s office free of charge to press for his support for the plan. Easy enough. I pressed one, was immediately connected to a real live person and instead of asking
Carper to support the plan, I asked that he oppose it. The gentleman on the line took my information and registered my concerns with a promise to relay the comments accordingly. I am not a “right wing extremist” nor am I a “left wing liberal.” I am what a lot of folks are — a reasonable person who tries to make the most informed decisions on matters of public policy. I do my homework, try to choose elected representatives who will truly represent the best interests of the people, and last but not least, I vote. Every chance I get. I was offended by the tone of the call and took action on the issue. Do I oppose healthcare options for everyone? No. No one should suffer for lack of access to affordable healthcare. But I don’t believe the Obama plan is the panacea some believe it to be. I also don’t think the American taxpayer can afford the cost of the proposal as it is being advanced. Lastly, I believe there are too many unanswered questions as to exactly how the plan would work and how we will pay for it. Socialized medical care is not the answer. So why am I writing to you? I would like to urge folks who receive a “robo” call to stay on the line for a few minutes — hear what is being said — and then act on the issue. Whether you support the Obama plan or not, take action. Participate in any way you can. Be a good citizen. We still have that right in this country. Exercise the right. Leann H. Ferguson
Gone too soon
Although the “King of Pop” has left us, he will reign in our hearts and continue to give song artists inspiration forever. Michael Jackson (1958 - 2009) thrust the music industry into a new light as he moon-walked for his adoring fans across the country. Throughout his career, he never ceased to amaze people with his unique voice, phenomenal dance moves, sparkly wardrobe and epic music videos. Michael Jackson was and always will be the greatest performer who ever lived. He didn’t just sing and dance, he taught us all to believe in change through the magic of music. With his magic, he had the people of the world following him; Michael was thriving with influential power.

When Michael discovered the power he possessed, he decided to put it to good use by trying to make our world a better place. He devised various charities to help the needy in Africa and America, help children with Aids, and many other important issues. By funding numerous organizations to “heal the world,” he was given the title of the most charitable celebrity; even in death, he still maintains this honorable title. He portrayed change for a better world through many of his songs, believing that “we are the world.” Through the King’s passing, I have learned about his many contributions to modern-day life. Although I wasn’t alive during the Thriller years, I have learned to love his music. It will now be my generation’s duty to carry on his legacy to our children where it will then trickle down the family trees of the world where he will live on forever. Michael should always be remembered for what he was, a king. A king who showed us how to walk on the moon, believe in magic and be open to change. I hope he is now receiving the peace he deserves in death that he wasn’t given in life. Michael, we love you. You’ve “gone too soon.”

Final Word
Abortion should be kept out of America’s health care reform By Dr. Alveda C. King
The courage of Kourtney Kardashian, and the hundreds of young women who are coming to similar conclusions regarding unplanned pregnancies is proof that abortion is not the answer for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for women. Kourtney is singing our song. We’ve been saying this in the black community for years. We love our children. We just need help with becoming and being mothers. Pregnancy care centers like Heartbeat and Carenet, along with abortion recovery play a big role in solving our problems. We’re on a crusade to say that abortion is not health care, a baby is not a disease or a sickness, so why are our leaders insisting on making provision for genocide in any health care plan for America? According to People, Kourtney said: “I looked online, and I was sitting on the bed hysterically crying, reading these stories of people who felt so guilty from having an abortion,” she recalls. “I was reading these things of how many people are traumatized by it afterwards.” Lorey Carter, director of Underserved Outreach for the Carenet National Office adds: “Kourtney is an example of how women today do not think like feminists of old. They don’t feel like they have to abort in order to pursue their goals, their dreams, and the future they want. They know they can have a baby and still complete school or pursue a career path. Motherhood does not deny a woman her full potential but helps her to embrace it. As many women will attest, they became much more re-

sponsible and focused because they had a child depending on them.” Day Gardner, head of the National Black Prolife Union, adds: “Women’s healthcare includes procreative reproductive rights. A woman should be healthy if and when she is ready to be a mother. We invite people to sign on to our open letter to President Obama (available at http:// www.priestsforlife.org/africanamerican/ obama-letter-health-care.htm) because allowing funding of abortion in a health bill would adversely affect African-American women. Abortion has become the number one killer of black Americans. More funding for abortion under the guise of a woman’s reproductive health care will increase the number of African-American fatalities because the number of abortions would skyrocket if health care reform allows abortion coverage.” Kourtney Kardashian recently told People Magazine why she is keeping her baby: “For me, all the reasons why I wouldn’t keep the baby were so selfish: It wasn’t like I was raped, it’s not like I’m 16. I’m 30 years old, I make my own money, I support myself, I can afford to have a baby. And I am with someone who I love, and have been with for a long time.” About the author Dr. Alveda C. King, director of African American Outreach for Priests for Life, and spokeswoman for the Silent No More Awareness Campaign, is the daughter of the late civil rights activist Rev. A. D. King and niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. She is the founder of King for America, Inc. and a former college professor.
Highway issues are being resolved Tina Shockley, community relations officer with DelDOT, is probably tired of hearing from me by now, especially in regards to the Woodland Ferry. But the ferry was shut down again last week and before the first frustrated motorist realized this, I had a call at the newspaper. So, Tina was called and here is her report: “This is what has occurred Thursday, Aug. 20 - Friday, Aug. 21, with the ferry. “Thursday afternoon - The ferry was taken out of operation when the cable came disconnected. We believe this was due to the strong tides and winds that day. The ferry was midchannel when the cable came off, but the captain was able to bring the ferry back into the Woodland slip under the thruster’s power. “The ferry remained down about 24 hours. The cable was resecured and strengthened on the vessel. The cable has never come off the vessel before. It’s important to note that this vessel is heavier and bigger and that may have contributed to the issue. “The ferry operated through the weekend and the ferry is in operation today.” The other project I asked Tina about was the Stein Highway bridge repair, which started later than orignally an-

nounced and continued past its anticipated completion date. Here is her response: “As for the Rt. 20 bridge, I was able to confirm that, yes, we are pretty much on schedule to finish by the deadline of Aug. 28. “When the old bridge joints were taken out, it was discovered that the bridge wasn’t built exactly as the plans showed and the bridge engineer made changes to his repair procedure to accommodate the actual conditions. “Sometimes we just don’t know what previous generations did (and why they did it). This did add about a week to the repair schedule.” If all goes as now planned, the orange cones should be removed this Friday and a stronger and safer westbound lane will be reopened. Thank you, Tina, for your patience with me. You have been very helpful. Bryant Richardson Publisher
