Doctors join in pilot project for developing heathier lifestyles By Carol Kinsley
Three doctors in western Sussex County have taken the unusual step of telling their young patients to take a hike. They are embarking on a pilot program with prescriptions for walking and other outdoor activities at Delaware State Parks. The idea is to encourage children and their families to get involved in physical activity outdoors. “As a family physician, I look at the whole family unit,” said Dr. Joe Kim, whose office is at 116 E. Front Street, Suite C, in Laurel. The prescription for walking is for the child, but “we emphasize it has to include the rest of the family, parents and extended family also.” Exercise is not only good for helping children maintain a healthy weight. It’s good for hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, depression, anxiety, even lung disease, Kim continued, rattling off a long list of ailments. “We hope the whole family unit will improve their lifestyle.” The pilot project has been in discussion since last fall, and the trio of doctors hope to kick off the program in the fall, with the cooperation of Delaware State Parks, particularly Trap Pond, and Nanticoke Memorial Hospital. Dr. Harry Lehman, whose pediatric practice is at 411 N. Shipley Street in Seaford, said, “Families who exercise are much more likely to see success in their children’s health.” As Sussex County transitions to a healthy-eating lifestyle, part of the effort to make Delaware’s children the healthiest in the nation, the walking program fits a real need. “There’s so much focus on eating,” Lehman continued, “but we look also at activity. Walking is a low cost, low impact family activity.”

Seaford Moose Lodge seeking annexation to connect to water
By Tony E. Windsor
A longtime Seaford area non-profit is seeking to join the corporate limits of the city through annexation. On Tuesday, July 27, Seaford Mayor and Council voted unanimously to move forward with the annexation process in order to bring the Seaford Lodge 1728 Loyal Order of Moose into the city. According to documents filed with the City of Seaford, the Moose Lodge is seeking annexation in order to gain municipal water. This past winter, the Moose Lodge suffered significant damage to its large dance hall area at the rear of the existing structure. The roof collapsed under the weight of snow. The damage closed that section of the building, which was routinely used by the lodge for public events including dances. Work to repair the damaged portion of the building is slated to start in August; however, the State Fire Marshal’s Office is requiring the Moose to install a water sprinkler system. The system will require use of the municipal water supply to accommodate the water supply. Annexation into the city and connection to the municipal water supply would avoid the need for the Moose Lodge to install a water tower to service the water sprinkler operation. The Moose Lodge is located along the Seaford-Bridgeville Highway (US 13A) and its property is contiguous with the
Lowe’s of Seaford property along US 13 and Tharp Road, which is in the Seaford corporate limits. If annexed into the city, the Moose Lodge will extend a 10-inch water supply line to the existing municipal water supply that connects to Lowe’s. If annexed, the Moose will also have its electric service, currently provided by Delmarva Power & Light Co., provided through the City of Seaford. The Seaford Annexation Committee, comprised of councilmembers William Bennett, Grace Peterson and Pat Jones, recommended the annexation be moved forward. The City will send notices of the proposed annexation to all adjoining property owners. There will also be a Public Hearing scheduled to fully explain the annexation of the Seaford Moose property. The property is developed as the Loyal Order of Moose Lodge 1728. City Manager Dolores Slatcher pointed out that the recommendation for moving forward with the annexation process, as well as the annexation process itself, is based solely on the physical property and has nothing to do with the development (Moose Lodge) itself. The city will move forward with mailing out letters to adjoining property owners and scheduling a public hearing for the Moose Lodge annexation proposal. Slatcher said the Moose Lodge will also provide proof of its non-profit status to the city as a requirement of annexation.

Women in Charge helps victims of domestic violence A new “Women in Charge” program at domestic violence shelters in Sussex and Kent Counties is addressing the number one reason victims are trapped with their abusers: financial instability. This program and its 12 trained domestic violence advocates are helping women escaping dangerous relationships not only feel safer, but also more financially secure. The path to economic empowerment often requires time to find affordable housing and childcare options, repair credit damaged by abusive partners, deal with the day-to-day challenges of taking care of a family, and in some cases even the need to find jobs. Survivors of domestic violence frequently need assistance to become economically secure. The “Women in Charge” program encourages financial literacy and sees the possession of long term savings instruments and microloans for debt reduction or the creation of a small business as critical components of victim/survivor safety. So far, 40 survivors have participated in this program, most of whom have identified financial abuse in their relationship. The program assists the survivors with financial literacy workshops, matching savings accounts, and direct financial assistance in some cases. Many of the survivors have created financial plans to reduce debt and increase

Thirty five years later, she continues to delight audiences with her ability to imitate such greats as Patsy Cline, Brenda Lee, Conway Twitty, Elvis and many more.
savings and some have opened bank accounts and obtained and worked to improve their credit scores for the first time. The trained advocates work individually and in groups with survivors in and out of the two shelters. Last October, the Delaware Coalition Against Domestic Violence was awarded an Economic Empowerment Grant from The Allstate Foundation, which is being used to implement this pro-
gram in two downstate shelters that are part of the nonprofit organization People’s Place: SAFE (Safety, Advocacy, Freedom and Empowerment) and Abriendo Puertas, both of which provide shelter and advocacy for victims of domestic violence. People’s Place has long been well-known for its efforts to help those women and children involved with domestic violence issues in Kent and Sussex Coun-
ties and surrounding communities through its two SAFE shelters (one in Kent County and one in Sussex County). Recently they added the Abriendo Puertas (Opening Doors) shelter to their family of programs and now help the Hispanic community as well. For more information about People’s Place and its programs offered to the residents of Kent and Sussex Counties and surrounding communities, call 422-

The Delaware Coalition Against Domestic Violence (DCADV) is a statewide, non-profit organization with a membership including domestic violence agencies and programs providing shelter and direct services to adult victims of domestic violence, allied organizations, and caring individuals.

Business Markell signs four energy bills into law
Joined by Delawareans working in clean energy jobs at a local producer of solar panels, Governor Jack A. Markell on July 28 signed into law four renewable energy bills that together make up the Clean Energy Jobs package, which were designed to put more people to work in expanding industries such as wind and solar power. The legislation puts protections in place for rate payers while also protecting the environment by reducing dependence on fossil fuels and improving air quality. The clean energy bills will facilitate the potential installation of approximately 250 megawatts of new solar photovoltaic systems (enough to power approximately 62,000 homes) by 2025, resulting in the creation of hundreds of secure, quality jobs. These bills will promote other sources of renewable energy, like offshore wind infrastructure or a large wind park off the coast of Delaware. Highlights of the legislation being signed: • SB 1 for SB 119 - Extends and expands Delaware’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) so that 25 percent of Delaware’s electricity must come from renewable energy sources by the year 2025; includes solar energy targets; and provides incentives for local labor and manufacture of renewable energy systems. For the first time, the Delaware Electric Cooperative and municipal electric companies will be included in the standard through the new statute or through their own plan meeting comparable results. The act provides consumer protections by limiting any rate impacts. • SB 266 - Updates the Green Energy Fund law to address the large backlog of projects across the state currently awaiting incentive funds. Gives the DNREC secretary the ability to direct more of the Green Energy fund to clear the existing backlog and focuses on incentives that will maximize economic development benefits. • SB 267 - Strengthens Delaware’s net metering law by increasing the amount of energy customers can sell back to their electric supply grid. Homes and businesses may sell back 110 percent of their aggregate consumption to the grid. Also, customers, such as a business campus or agLAUREL - Huge historic plantation style estate!

ricultural operations can aggregate several meters for multiple locations to determine how much power can be sold back through one meter. Customers will be able to finance larger renewable energy installations to meet their needs. Finally, homeowner associations and similar groups of customers sharing a unique set of interests will be able to cooperatively finance and build community-scale renewable energy projects both on and off-site. • SB 316 - Makes it possible for property owners to install and use ground-mounted solar energy systems on land zoned residential where the lots are one-half acre or greater in size without being restricted by the use of covenants, restrictions, and conditions in deeds, contracts and other legal instruments which might seek to prohibit or unreasonably restrict such construction.

Six tax tips for new businesses
Are you opening a new business this summer? The IRS has many resources available for individuals that are opening a new business. Here are six tax tips the IRS wants new business owners to know. First, you must decide what type of business entity you are going to establish. The type of business entity will determine which tax form you have to file. The most common types of business are the sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation and S corporation. The type of business you operate determines what taxes you must pay and how you pay them. The four general types of business taxes are income tax, self-employment tax, employment tax and excise tax. An Employer Identification Number is used to identify a business entity. Generally, businesses need an EIN. Visit IRS. gov for more information about whether you will need an EIN. You can also apply for an EIN online at IRS.gov. Good records will help you ensure successful operation of your new business. You may choose any recordkeeping system suited to your business that clearly shows your income and expenses. Except in a few cases, the law does not require any special kind of records. However,
the business you are in affects the type of records you need to keep for federal tax purposes. Every business taxpayer must figure taxable income on an annual accounting period called a tax year. The calendar year and the fiscal year are the most common tax years used. Each taxpayer must also use a consistent accounting method, which is a set of rules for determining when to report income and expenses. The most commonly used accounting methods are the cash method and an accrual method. Under the cash method, you generally report income in the tax year you receive it and deduct expenses in the tax year you pay them. Under an accrual method, you generally report income in the tax year you earn it and deduct expenses in the tax year you incur them. IRS Publication 583, Starting a Business and Keeping Records, provides basic federal tax information for people who are starting a business. This publication is available on IRS.gov or by calling 800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676). Visit the Business section of IRS.gov for resources to assist entrepreneurs with starting and operating a new business.
It’s all about you. And you’re all about business.
That works for us.

Jennifer Delice spends her days helping seniors feel wanted, cared about By James Diehl
W
hen Jennifer Delice immmigrated to the United States from her native Trinidad in 1996, it was to make a better life for herself and for her family. But she wanted more than that — she also wanted an education centered around helping young people, intending to one day return to the Caribbean island nation and help ease the plight many poverty stricken children face in the Third World. Things didn’t quite work out that way, but Delice isn’t complaining one bit. Instead of spending her time helping children and teenagers, her life has taken a dramatic turn, landing her at Seaford’s Nanticoke Senior Center as its outreach worker. It’s a job she loves more and more every day, one that brings her a great deal of joy and a feeling of personal accomplishment. “A lot of our seniors just need someone to listen to them and understand where they are in their lives,” says Delice, who is also an ordained minister, as is her husband, in the Pentecostal Assemblies of the West Indies. “These people are losing their independence. They can’t do as much for themselves anymore, but they still need to be considered as people.” Delice’s job with the senior center revolves around the organization’s Meals on Wheels program, which provides hot meals seven days a week to six dozen grateful senior citizens in Sussex County. Some are referrals from other organizations, some are members of the center, some are a bit down on their luck. But they all have one thing in common – a daily visit from one of 25 volunteer drivers, all overseen by Delice at the senior center. “Those drivers are the faces that they see everyday; it’s just someone to come by and say hi and see how they’re doing,” says the mother of three and grandmother of four boys. “I know that some of my drivers even go in and sit with the seniors. Maybe, they’ll do something in the house for them, like picking up the newspaper. Just something that shows them they care.” Immigrating to the United States from

It was a move that was compounded by the need for finding a new home, new employment and settling into life in southern Delaware. Delice’s children were teenagers at the time, not much younger than the college students at Georgetown’s Delaware Technical & Community College – it was at the college that her new life began to take form. She may have been a bit older, but she didn’t let her age stop her. It didn’t even slow her down – at the age of 58, Delice packed her bags, bought some new school supplies and began on a journey with men and women a third her age. It was an experience that culminated in her receiving duel associate’s degrees in human services and gerontology in 2005, and eventually to an internship at the Nanticoke Senior Center. The rest, as they say, is history. “I never really thought of working with seniors until I went to Delaware Tech and saw that gerontology was offered,” says Delice. “I took the program and then I just got to love it. There was a big need for serving seniors, so when this job opened up, I said I would take it.” Delice’s job at the senior center is just a part-time position, but her hours are anything but set in stone. When she’s not at the center coordinating the Meals on Wheels program, she’s known to visit senior citizens who may be in the hospital or at a local nursing home. Sometimes it’s merely so they have

someone to talk to, other times it’s to bring a tasty treat or a book or any of a number of other items. The bottom line, she says, is that local seniors who may not have anyone else to look in on them feel wanted, that they know someone cares about them. “I’ve not met a senior yet who has not been grateful that someone showed up at their door to help them,” says Delice. “Other times, it’s just to sit with them or bring them a cup of soup or some ice cream. Serving seniors is really a wonderful thing.” When she’s not helping Seaford’s senior citizen community, Delice can usually be found in her gardens at home or continuing in her passion for the ministry. She’s embraced life in Sussex County’s largest year-round municipality with open arms. “What I love about Seaford is that it’s just like home in the Caribbean; it’s slower like home, not like in the cities,” she says. “You can get to know people here, and you can make friends easily. And I love having my big garden every year.” Growing Caribbean spices like thyme, chives, celery and parsley, as well as many different varieties of vegetables, Delice’s
property in Seaford is her American paradise. She remains grateful for the opportunities afforded to her in the United States, and she hopes her work with Seaford’s senior citizen community continues for many years to come. “I like adding some quality to the lives of seniors, many of whom live alone,” she says. “They definitely have a need for the Meals on Wheels service, so we serve all of them. It’s very beneficial.” Jennifer Delice and her husband, John, have been integral parts of the Seaford community for nearly a decade-and-ahalf. Two of their three children also live nearby, helping Sussex County seem more and more like home all the time. But it’s her work with Seaford’s senior citizens, often some of the most vulnerable among us, that helps identify her as a person, and as a proud American citizen. It has become her life’s work. “My son tells me how proud he is that I’ve reinvented myself, but I’m just doing what I felt in my heart I would like to do,” she says with a smile. “I just thought I needed some skills to do it, and I feel like I acquired those skills. I feel this job has given me the patience to care.”

Police Journal Seaford girl dies in ATV crash
On Aug. 3, the Delaware State Police Crash Reconstruction responded to Coverdale Road between Mill Park Drive and Hastings Farm Road in Bridgeville for a crash involving an ATV and a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt. The crash was reported at 12:12 p.m. A 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt was southbound on Coverdale Road and the ATV was traveling northbound on Coverdale Road along a brush line on the west edge of the roadway (the same side as the Cobalt, however, heading northbound). The ATV emerged from behind the brush line and entered the southbound lane of Coverdale Road directly into the path of the Chevrolet Cobalt. The intention of the ATV was to cross over the roadway to the east side of Coverdale Road and onto a dirt path. The crash between the Chevrolet Cobalt and ATV caused the ATV to roll an undetermined number of times ejecting both the driver and passenger. The driver of the ATV, Michelle Prettyman, 15, of Seaford, died at Nanticoke Hospital from injuries sustained in the crash. The passenger, Matthew Duncan, 10, also of Seaford, was transported by State Police Helicopter to AI duPont Hospital for injuries sustained in the crash and is in critical condition. The operator of the Chevrolet Cobalt, 17-year-old Darsi Rosas of Bridgeville, was not injured in the crash. Coverdale Road was closed for approximately three hours while State Police investigated the crash scene. Alcohol is not a factor and the occupants of the ATV were not wearing helmets.
Arrested for rape
Seaford Police have arrested Dwayne Coffin, 39, of Seaford, for the rape of a 21-year-old female at the Seaford High School track on July 26 at 12:30 a.m. The victim was walking in the area of the track when she was confronted by Coffin who struck her several times with his fist then sexually assaulted her.

On July 14, Turnage pulled up alongside two victims, ages 18 and 35, who were traveling along Middleford Road in Seaford, and began taunting them and then pulled out a handgun. A bullet hole was
discovered in the rear portion of the victim’s trunk. A Georgetown Police department officer on routine patrol in the area of the Classic Motel located at 313 S. DuPont Hwy., Georgetown, observed a black male lurking about the parking lot of the motel around 9:20 a.m. The Georgetown officer was familiar with Darmarius Turnage from an advisory bulletin sent out to police agencies. The officer observed Turnage leaving in a vehicle from the area of the motel. The officer tailed the vehicle, activated his emergency lights to his patrol vehicle and stopped the suspect vehicle on West North Street near Elizabeth Street, Georgetown.

MORNING STAR • AUGUST 5 - 11, 2010 A 24-year-old woman and 44-year-old male were seated in the same vehicle when they observed Sutton pull in behind them. The victims were in the driveway of the male’s residence when Sutton intentionally struck the rear of the male victim’s vehicle with her vehicle, a Silver Dodge Dakota pickup. The male victim attempted to flee but she continued to chase the victims around a farm area. Sutton then located the 24-year-old victim’s car and intentionally drove into this vehicle which caused the rear window to shatter. Sutton, who had already left the scene when troopers arrived, was located a short time later and charged with two counts of second degree reckless endangering, criminal mischief, criminal trespassing and disorderly conduct. She was released on $5,200 bond.
Search for two suspects
On Aug. 3, at 1:10 a.m., Laurel Police responded to a burglary at the Pizza King in Laurel. Two suspects fled into the woods behind the business. Additional officers from the Delaware State Police and Blades Police Department also searched the area but were unable to locate the two suspects. The suspects are described as: • A black male, approximately, 6’3”, wearing blue or black shorts with a light colored strip down the side and a white or gray long sleeve shirt. The suspect was also wearing a blue bandana over his face and a Baltimore Orioles baseball hat. • A black male, wearing blue jeans and a white or gray hoody. Anyone with information about this crime is asked to contact the Laurel Police at 875-2244.
Drugs, suspended license
On Monday, Aug. 2, a Delaware State trooper was on routine patrol on Coverdale Road, Bridgeville. After running a random check on a vehicle registration, the trooper discovered the registration for the 1997 Chevrolet Suburban was suspended and the registered owner’s license was also suspended. The trooper stopped the motorist on SR 404 Seashore Highway east of Bridgeville and made contact with the driver, Jevontae L. Dale, 19, of Bridgeville. The trooper could smell a distinctive odor emitting from the Suburban and a search revealed approximately 59 grams of marijuana. Dale was taken into custody without incident and charged with maintaining a vehicle for keeping controlled substances, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana, driving while suspended, no proof of insurance, failure to surrender suspended vehicle registration and displaying a suspended license. He was remanded to the SCI in lieu of $2,352 secured bond..
Man dies in bicycle crash
Jose Aurturo Moscoso, 52, of Laurel, died from injuries he received after he was struck while riding a bike on Route 9 in Georgetown at 9:10 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 1. A GMC Envoy, driven by Mary Ann Bailey, 39, of Milton,
was traveling westbound on SR 9 County Seat Highway intersecting with Dukes Lumber Road two miles east of Laurel. Moscoso was on his bicycle and traveling eastbound on County Seat Highway on the eastbound shoulder. State Police believe Moscoso was on his way to his residence which was located on the north edge side of County Seat Highway. Moscoso veered into the path of the Envoy and was struck on the right side of his body. He was transported by EMS to Nanticoke Memorial Hospital with severe blunt force injuries and died about three hours later. Moscoso, who is originally from Guatemala, had only been in the United States for about a year. State Police have been in contact with Immigration and Naturalization Service and the State of Delaware Medical Examiners office to help determine Moscoco’s naturalization status. A preliminary State Police investigation suggests alcohol was a factor in the crash (for Moscoso). He was also not wearing a helmet. Delaware State Police are continuing their investigation and no charges have been filed against Mary Ann Bailey.

Attorney General Beau Biden recently joined state and local police at the Delaware Child Predator Task Force to announce the arrest of Smyrna resident and registered sex offender, Stephen W. Carman, on child pornography charges following an investigation initiated by
Correction Center in default of $141,000 secured bond. While Carman was being processed at Smyrna Police headquarters on July 28, Carman made a phone call that led the Task Force to believe that additional evidence was hidden at his residence. Based on that information, the Child Predator Task Force executed an additional search warrant on the evening of July 28, at Carman’s residence and seized additional digital media, including a flash drive secured by duct tape underneath the kitchen sink.

Gas Lines
There were no surprises at the pump for motorists who took to the roads in July. Gas prices were stable throughout the month, ranging from $2.70 to $2.75 a gallon nationally. The national average price for regular grade gasoline closed out the month at $2.74 Saturday, 22 cents higher than the same date last year, but still $1.37 less than the record of $4.11 set two years ago this summer. Crude Oil Prices While making several runs at the $80 mark last week, crude oil maintained its recent trading range of $70 to $80, closing the week at $78.95. Concerns about economic recovery in the second half of the year, were fueled by data showing economic growth in the U.S. slowed in the second quarter and the pace of consumer spending

Cook lemongrass, shallot, ginger and garlic in oil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring, until aromatics are pale golden, about 5 minutes. Add about one third of watermelon purée and simmer over moderate heat, stirring, 5 minutes. Remove watermelon mixture from heat, then transfer to blender along with chile, lime juice, and salt and blend until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). Add remaining watermelon purée and blend briefly. Season soup with more chile, lime juice, and salt if desired, blending if necessary. Pour soup through a sieve into a bowl, pressing on and then discarding any solids. Chill soup, uncovered, about 2 hours if serving cold, or reheat in cleaned saucepan. Prepare crab: Toss crabmeat with cilantro, oil, and salt. Divide crab among 4 soup plates, mounding in center, and pour chilled or hot soup around it.
Cooks’ notes: • Soup can be made 1 day ahead and chilled. Cover after 2 hours of chilling. • Crabmeat can be picked over 1 day ahead and crab mixture can be prepared 1 hour before serving. Chill, covered. eased, raising demand concerns. Little evidence of a robust long-term economic recovery, in addition to high crude inventories and weak demand numbers, have contributed to the relative stability of oil prices this summer. A look ahead “Demand for gasoline continued to rebound this week, posting its highest weekly figure of the year. However, slow economic recovery and high crude oil stockpiles continue to keep crude oil prices in check, which filters down to stability at the gas pumps,” said Jana L. Tidwell, acting manager of Public and Government Affairs for AAA MidAtlantic. Local pricing On Tuesday gas stations from Delmar to Greenwood were selling regular gasoline in a range from $2.549 to $2.729 a gallon. The high is up seven cents in a week, the low up two cents.

Phillis Wheatley Middle School earns ‘State Champions in Sportsmanship’ award for ‘09-10 By Cathy Shufelt
Phillis Wheatley Middle School (PWMS) has been awarded the Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association (DIAA) “State Champions in Sportmanship” for the 2009-2010 school year. This is the second year the school has received this award, and Phillis Wheatley Middle School is one of 12 schools in the state to receive this award. PWMS is the only middle school to win. All 102 member middle schools and high schools compete against a rigorous ten-point standard, not against other schools. Therefore, it is possible that there could be 102 winners annually. Requirements for consideration include: • A written board of education policy on sportsmanship, ethics, and integrity in interscholastic athletics. • A sportsmanship, ethics and integrity
committee to coordinate the planning and implementation of a sportsmanship, ethics and integrity program. • Presentations during the school year to coaches, athletes, parents, fans and support groups emphasizing the school’s philosophy on sportsmanship, ethics and integrity. • A procedure for receiving, investigating, and resolving complaints dealing with sportsmanship, ethics and integrity. • A plan for dealing with special situations such as heated rivalries, overflow crowds, and unruly spectators. • A program for acknowledging/rewarding positive examples of sportsmanship, ethics and integrity. The sportsmanship awards will be presented at the DIAA board meeting held at the Collette Education Resource Center on Aug. 12 in Dover.
Doctors join in efforts to improve health Continued from page one
The third doctor involved is Dr. Meredith M. Arthur at Nanticoke Pediatrics, 613 West High Street in Seaford. Lehman explained the goal is to be able to write a prescription for a walking plan, to give families a map or brochure of trails at Trap Pond and other sites. The literature will explain steps per mile and calories burned per mile. The doctors hope their patients will come back with a record log to give feedback on the experience. The state parks are excited about a program that will highlight the parks, he added. The physicians’ prescriptions will allow free park admission to Trap Pond and access to community track and trail facilities. For second and subsequent visits, an annual pass is available for purchase. The intention is to encourage family activity outdoors rather than to go to a mall to walk in inclement weather. “We want them outside, even in cold weather, away from their food source and electronics — TV screens and computer games. That will be our message: outside, warm or cold, sun or rain. A little rain never hurt anyone,” Lehman said. Lehman blamed obesity on air condi-
tioning. “We stay inside and use technology that has developed,” he said, recalling growing up in western Pennsylvania with no air conditioning and a television with an antenna. “We wanted to be outside, to find a cool tree and a breeze. Now it’s a constant battle to fight the urge for air conditioning and comfort.” For now, the pilot program will be extended to the patients of these three doctors. Lehman said later they hope to roll out the program to Mid-Sussex physicians at Nanticoke. “If it works, we’ll teach them how to write the prescriptions and create brochures.” The pilot program could impact 2,000 children between the three practices. “We’re really just trying to get the kids outside,” Lehman concluded. With new information on childhood obesity, it’s important to give children a good start on a healthy lifestyle from the beginning and encourage the “5-2-1 Almost None” healthy eating plan promoted by Nemours Health and Prevention Services. About 40 percent of Delaware’s children are overweight, compared to a national average of 35 percent. Nine out of 10 parents say their children don’t eat right, and 84 percent of them say their children don’t get enough exercise.

Area Boy Scout camp celebrates 45th anniversary By Carol Kinsley
From the northernmost part of Delaware to the tip of the Eastern Shore of Virginia, Boy Scouts on the Delmarva Peninsula have been flocking to Henson Scout Reservation in Rhodesdale, Md., for camping since 1965. The camp will celebrate its 45th anniversary on Aug. 6. Camp Henson is larger than Del-Mar-Va Council’s other camp in North East, Md., Rodney Scout Reservation. Henson covers 1,800 acres along the Marshyhope Creek, a tributary of the Nanticoke River. The original plan was to develop two camps there, Camp Nanticoke and Camp Choptank, but that did not materialize. Many still know Henson as “Camp Nanticoke.” Henson is open year-round for special Scout programs and for rental by outside groups. Separate programs are run for Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts in the summer. The camp offers a variety of traditional programs, including swimming, nature/ ecology, handicrafts, camping and outdoors skills, fishing, archery, rifle and shotgun shooting and boating. Fitness, biking and golf merit badges also can be earned. The Brownsea program for first-year campers helps scouts advance through Tenderfoot to 2nd Class rank. Troop 314 from Exmore, Va., were at Henson in late July. Sponsored by Epworth United Methodist Church for the past 57 years, the troop goes camping once a month and finds Henson a better camp than some others. “We’ve been here before,” said assistant Scout Master Don Walters. “It’s closer to home than Camp Rodney, has a great dining hall with good food, and an outstanding merit badge program. It’s set up for brandnew Scouts up to Eagle.” He added, “The camp director, Lee Murdoch, is great, and all the staff do an outstanding job.” Murdoch, a ten-year summer camp staff veteran and Eagle Scout, holds a master’s degree in recreation management from Indiana University and a bachelor’s in recreation and parks management from Frostburg State University. He has been director of the camp since 2006. Walters said the troop has been coming to Henson since at least the mid-1980s. He got involved in Scouting in 1973 when his older son was 8. Both sons achieved the rank of Eagle. Other leaders of the troop are Donnie Davis, Thomas James and Scout Master Terry Spence, a dentist who couldn’t get away from his practice for the whole week. Spence designed a patch for the Virginia District’s 100th anniversary which is displayed on a wall at Camp Henson. The troop worked on merit badges in swimming, life saving, archery, citizen of the nation and citizen of the world, fly fishing and leather work. Two of the new Scouts were involved in the Brownsea program. Sam Heller, one of those campers, expected to make 2nd class at camp and advance to 1st class within two months. Sam, who started scouting in February, liked the shooting program best. He scored 48 out of a possible 50 points and earned an NRA shooting badge. Dee Dee Morris has been going to Camp Henson for five years, starting when her son Christopher, now 12, was in Cub Scouts. A Wilmington resident, she is Cub Scout Roundtable Commissioner for the Powder Mill District and a scout parent
committee member for Troop 61, chartered by Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Claymont. While Camp Rodney is closer, she said it does not have a program for Cub Scouts. “I do camp promotion for the council,” Morris said. “I tell the parents the program Henson offers is phenomenal. These young men and women (staffers) give their time and talents freely. Every Scout who goes there comes home with some sort of recognition, based on rank and what merit badges he signed up for. The entire camp is immaculate. There are hot showers, good food and a warm and inviting environment. It’s an absolute pleasure to go. I have as much fun as the kids do.” Morris added one reason she’s dedicated to Camp Henson is the realization, 18 months ago, that her father knew Richard A. Henson, the famous aviator and philanthropist from Salisbury, Md., for whom the camp is named. At 73, her father declared, “If I was younger I’d go camping with Christopher because he had so much fun.” Morris enjoys the camping adventures also and the “memories of a lifetime” that are made there, like the time Christopher climbed into the front seat of the car for the two-hour drive home and said, “Gee, Mom, thanks for taking vacation days to go camping with me.” For Betsy Godfrey of Seaford, it takes only a few minutes to drive to Camp Henson. She has been going there with her son for six years. “I love it over there. It’s like a second home. We go often because our troop goes there in October and sponsors Webelo Woods for upcoming Boy Scouts (in the final year of Cub Scouting) to learn some skills that are taught in Scouts.” In February, troops in the area get on bobsleds for a Klondike Derby. Although Godfrey’s son Tripp attained the rank of Eagle last year at the age of 16, he is still very active in his troop. Matthew Zoller, 16, is a Life Scout in Troop 381 in Seaford, working on his Eagle project. He had the privilege of being “hometown news reporter” for the recent National Jamboree in Virginia. His mother, Paula Zoller, said she loves Camp Henson. “It’s a great camp. It’s beautiful. There are some bad moments, like when it floods when it rains,” she acknowledged. “I like the way it operates. There are a lot of programs and the facilities are wonderful. The comfort stations are kept clean. It’s wellstaffed. And when you’re at a campfire, it’s a little bit of heaven.” Experience a little bit a heaven — and share it with your son — during Henson’s

William “Joe” Stoakley, 88
William “Joe” Stoakley of Laurel, went home to be with the Lord on Friday, July 30, 2010. Joe was born on Nov. 6, 1921, in Laurel, to the late William and Mary Stoakley. He graduated from Laurel High School in 1939, and after graduation, he worked for the DuPont Company until his retirement in 1983. He enlisted in the Army Air Corp in 1941 until 1945, serving overseas in Europe as a crew chief in the 357th Fighting squadron on the P-51 Mustang Fighter Plane. He was very proud of the fact that Chuck Yeager, the man famous for breaking the first in flight sound barrier, also belonged to the 357th Fighting squadron. Joe had many enjoyments in life, and loved to lend a helping hand in the community. He enjoyed flying his own plane for a short time after returning home from the Air Corp, fishing, making his own lead cast lewers and hand painting them.

County project seeks to reduce paper use By Ronald MacArthur
When it comes to a paperless workplace, Sussex County still has a way to go, but a five-year journey to modernize county government is under way. Many Sussex County employees are working with computer technology that’s at least 15 years old. Unnecessary financial spreadsheets and reports are created because the current systems do not allow integration among departments. “County staff is still doing a great job with very limited tools,” said Timothy Masse, a consultant with Berry, Dunn, McNeil and Parker. The firm was hired at a cost of $46,271 to provide an in-depth analysis of the county’s technology and business processing. On advice of consultants and a county committee, county council voted June 29 to proceed to replace county systems with integrated software through a competitive bidding process. Masse said because county systems have been custom designed over the years, it would be costly to upgrade them when they can be replaced with newer technology. Consultant Chad Snow estimated the upgrade at about $1.3 million, with annual costs of about $120,000 for maintenance. He said the project could proceed in stages over three to five years. The county is also purchasing new equipment, with more than
Free bowling game Aug. 7
Bryan’s Bowling Center invites the public to bowl their first game for free in an attempt to break the current record of 741,821 bowling games played in a single day. The 2010 National Bowling Week kicks off on July 31, with the record-breaking attempt to occur on National Bowling Day, Aug. 7. On Aug. 7, everyone who downloads a free game coupon at www.gobowling.com can bowl one game for free and take part in the World Record breaking event. “We invite bowlers of all levels and talents to stop by and bowl for free as we try to help make history,” said Pete and Lee Bryan of Bryan’s Bowling Center in Laurel. For more information, visit www.gobowling.com or call Bryan’s Bowling Center at 875-7400.
$585,000 in the capital budget for new computers, printers, scanners, software, firewall upgrades and servers. Of that total, $250,000 is for software for the five-year integration project. The goals of the project are to eliminate inefficiencies, improve taxpayer services, improve internal controls, provide more information to the public and re-
duce the number of old, separate legacy systems, said Gina Jennings, director of accounting. Masse said benefits and potential savings of a new system are varied. He said the county could anticipate a savings of more than $30,000 annually in staff time spent processing transactions and an additional savings of 20 percent of the hours spent
processing payroll. A major savings, about 50 percent, would be realized in the time required to complete year-end financial closing processes, he said. Efficiency is the key word, Snow said, as county staff will rely less on paper-based processes with an integrated system. “A problem that we have with the current system is the lack
of functionality, which requires unnecessary manual processes,” Jennings said. “For example, the current general ledger does not support some government accounting regulations, so to stay compliant, the accounting department must keep a separate set of books manually in order to produce required financial reports.”

Eastern Shore AFRAM Festival
13th festival drawing widespread interest By Lynn R. Parks

ince February, Herbert Quick, who with his wife, Jocelyn, does promotional work for the Eastern Shore African-American Festival, has been monitoring the number of visits to the festival’s website. There have been 2,600, he said, from 1,900 separate people. “We’ve gotten hits from 40 states and 20 countries,” Quick added. “From all four corners of the country and from throughout the world, people are checking us out.” In addition, AFRAM has a new Facebook page, started in March. Already, said Jocelyn, it has more than 1,300 fans. Last year, between 2,000 and 3,000 people attended the three-day festival, held annually in Nutter Park in Seaford. This year, with all the internet
attention that AFRAM is getting, that number could be substantially higher, Herb said.

Eastern Shore AFRAM Festival
“We are able to connect with more people because of technology,” he added. “I think that that will mean more people there.” The technology has also enabled organizers to connect with a broader base of musicians to expand the festival’s entertainment lineup, Jocelyn said. “A lot of our artists are still local, but they are gaining a lot of popularity,” she added. “We’ve been able to connect with them, and with their fans, on Facebook.” The 13th annual AFRAM will be next weekend, Thursday, Aug. 12, through Saturday, Aug. 14. In addition to the musical lineup, there will be food, competitions and informational booths. The theme of this year’s festival is “Umoja,” or unity. Radio station OC 104 will broadcast live from the festival during the day Saturday. Despite its growth, the festival at heart will still be the same as when it started out, Jocelyn said. It began as a basketball tournament sponsored by local parents to give their children something to do during the summer and to teach good sportsmanship. That tournament, now in its 13th year and the core of the festival, Herb said, will start out this year’s festival. The focus of the festival is on the African-American community, its culture and traditions. But that does not mean, said Jocelyn, that AFRAM is not for everyone. “This is like a lot of cultural festivals throughout the state that focus on one culture but are intended for all people,” she added. “Our community has a great culture and we like to share it.” The food Herb Quick said that the weekend of AFRAM is not the time to be selective about what you eat. “It’s the time to do a lot of sampling from all the booths,” he said. “The fish fry is great, there are delicious ribs and there’s curried goat. It’s a good time to try a lot of different things.” A number of area churches will have food booths set up at the festival. “It will be church food, so you know it will be good,” said Jocelyn. The fish fry will open the festival Thursday evening. It will be manned by Curtis Hinds, owner of Catering by Curtis. Proceeds will benefit the festival. Throughout the weekend, booths
will sell traditional African-American soul food as well as food from the Caribbean and the West Indies.
The parade This year’s AFRAM parade will feature 50 entries, up from 30 last year. Participation in the parade is by invitation only.
The parade’s grand marshal will be Gladys Briggs, a resident of Seaford and a former member of the Seaford School Board. Briggs will also be honored on Saturday with the festival’s annual community recognition award. “We like to honor people who have been working quietly and hard to make out community what it is,” said Herb.
Included in the parade participants will be Sankofa, a Dover-based corps of African drummers and dancers. The group will also perform on the festival stage at noon on Saturday. Briana Moore, Miss Black Delaware Talented Teen, will also be in the parade. A resident of Townsend, she is a freshman at St. Georges Technical

High School near St. Georges. This month, she will compete in the Miss Black Talented Teen USA pageant. Members of the Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club of Delaware will ride in the parade. And the marching band from Sussex Tech High School will march and perform, under the direction of Harvey Bullock Jr. Spectators along the parade will have chances to win prizes, as vouchers for free pizza and T-shirts and vouchers for McDonalds specials will be handed out.

Since then, Charles has worked with an array of artists, writers and producers.

Eastern Shore AFRAM Festival Gladys Briggs selected for Outstanding Community Recognition Award 2010 The Eastern Shore AFRAM Festival, Inc. will honor Mrs. Gladys A. (Palmer) Briggs with its Outstanding Community Recognition Award on Aug. 14, at Nutter Park. Mrs. Briggs, the first AfricanAmerican woman elected to the Seaford School District Board of Education, worked ceaselessly, “To see that we keep quality teachers, keep the teachers’ pay up and curb discipline problems.” Her quest for premium education for all children was maintained through her direction of study sessions at Mt. Calvary A.M.E. Church. All of the participating students attained a B average or better. The study sessions continue under the leadership of her daughter, Jean. Mrs. Briggs serves the community daily through her church, hobbies and family, and is guided by the scripture, “I will bless the Lord at all times, and His praises shall continually be in my mouth.” The Eastern Shore AFRAM Festival is headed by Seaford City Councilwoman and Eastern Shore AFRAM Executive Direc-
Gladys Briggs
tor Pat A. Jones. The festival will be held on Aug. 12-14, at Nutter Park in the Chandler Heights development of Seaford. This year’s theme is derived from the principle of “Umoja” (Unity). Eastern Shore AFRAM is the largest African-American heritage festival in Sussex County. Last year, more than 2,500 visitors from Delmarva, neighboring states, and as far away as San Diego, Calif. attended this extraordinary three day event.

Free and reduced lunch policy
The Delaware Department of Education has announced the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s policy for free and reduced price meals for children unable to pay the full price for meals served under the National School Lunch Program, the School Breakfast Program, and the After School Snack Program. Each participating school and its administrative office has a copy of the policies which may be reviewed by any interested party. Meal Benefit Forms are being sent home with a letter to parents or guardians. To apply for free or reduced price meals, households should fill out the Family Meal Benefit Form for their household and return it to the school. The information provided on the Meal Benefit Forms will be used for the purpose of determining eligibility and may be verified at any time during the school year by school or other program officials. For school officials to determine eligibility, households receiving food stamps and/or Delaware Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (DE-TANF) must list the child’s name, their food stamp and/or DE-TANF case number and provide a signature and name of an adult household member. Households not receiving food stamps and/or DE-TANF must list: names of all household members; the amount of the gross income for each household member received last month; the income source and how often received; the signature of an
adult household member; and that adult’s social security number, the word “none” or “No Social Security Number” box marked if the adult does not have a social security number. Meal Benefit Forms may be submitted at any time during the school year. Under the provisions of the free and reduced price policy, the nutrition services supervisor will review Meal Benefit Forms and determine eligibility. Parents or guardians dissatisfied with the ruling of the official may discuss the decision with the determining official on an informal basis. In certain cases, children in foster care and children receiving WIC may also be eligible for school meal benefits. The information provided by the household is confidential and will be used only for purposes of determining eligibility and verifying data. In the operation of child nutrition feeding programs administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, no child will be discriminated against because of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability. If any member of a household believes they have been discriminated against, they should write immediately to the USDA Director, Office of Civil Rights, Room 326-W, Whitten Building, 14th and Independence Ave., S.W., Washington, D.C. 20250-9410 or call 1-800-795-3272 or 202-720-6382.

Texting while driving campaign Bayhealth Medical Center has launched a public awareness campaign to help educate the community about the potential dangers of texting on your cell phone while driving. “Many people don’t realize that texting while driving can be more dangerous than drinking and driving,” said Bayhealth Trauma Medical Director Ed Alexander, MD. Dr. Alexander cites a recent study from Car and Driver Magazine that finds it takes four times longer to hit your brakes if you are texting and driving. The study finds that the average text message takes a driver’s eyes off the road for nearly five seconds - which is enough time to drive the entire length of a football field if you are driving at 55 miles per hour. Dr. Alexander says other statistics are equally alarming: • If you are texting while driving, you are 23 percent more likely to be involved in a car accident.
• Each year, 21 percent of fatal car crashes involving teenagers between the ages of 16 and 19 are linked to cell phone usage while driving. • Drivers who are texting are about six times more likely to be involved in an accident than a driver who is driving while intoxicated. In early June, Bayhealth Trauma & Emergency Services launched a comprehensive public awareness campaign featuring radio public service announcements, billboards, and posters which make a blunt, but poignant point. The billboards and posters feature Bayhealth Trauma & Emergency personnel with the message, “Texting and Driving? CU in our ER!” This campaign is in cooperation with Delmarva Broadcasting Company - WNCL/ Cool 101.3, WAFL/Eagle 97.7, and WYUS/930AM La Exitosa radio stations.

Woodbridge Senior League all-star baseball team falls in state finals By Lynn Schofer
The Woodbridge Senior League District III baseball team dropped the opening game of the state tournament to Naamans of Wilmington (District II) last week in Seaford. Woodbridge fought all night to find its momentum and gave away several runs on fielding errors. In the top of the first inning, Woodbridge hit first and scored out of the box taking advantage of the lack of control by the Naamans pitcher. Woodbridge’s offense fell silent and in the bottom of the second the District III champs committed three errors and allowed seven runs. Woodbridge added a run in the third on Josh Retzlaff’s RBI single. Naamans scored three more runs in the fourth and two in the fifth to end the game early, 12-2. Woodbridge returned to the Nanticoke Little league field on Thursday and fought its way back into the tournament winning, 4-1. On Friday evening, Woodbridge matched up against Naamans looking to avenge Wednesday night’s loss. Coach Dan Petrone put the ball in Continued on page 46

District III Big League softball team advances to World Series By Mike McClure
For over half of the members of the District III Big League all-star softball team, going to the World Series is not a new experience. But even for the players that competed for the District III Senior League for the past three seasons, this year’s path to the World Series was different. The District III Big League team went 4-0 in pool play and topped Pa. District 15 in the semifinals and defeated the host team from Waldorf, Md., in the finals to win the Eastern Regionals and advance to the World Series in Kalamazoo, Mich. “It’s the best team I’ve ever coached from a talent standpoint. We’ve done it the hard way now too,” said District III manager Jeff Evans, referring to the Senior League team’s automatic berth in the World Series. Unlike the District III Senior League teams of the past, the Big League team features a mix of players from throughout Sussex County. While this blending of former rivals would prove a challenge for some, Evans says it has been a pleasant experience so far. “It’s been nice flying under the radar. You seem to bond more when you travel,” Evans said. “Blending Laurel and the other Sussex County kids has been a seamless transition. This team has been very fun.” District III opened the tournament last Thursday with a 5-4 win over Pa. District
32, the defending Eastern Region champions, in 11 innings. After surrendering a three-run home run in the top of the first, District III came back with a pair of runs in the bottom of the inning. Kim Smith came on for Stephanie Wheatley in the third inning and District III rallied to win in extra innings. Later that day, District III faced Pa. District 32 and picked up a 2-1 win as Wheatley, Smith, and Kristen Cooper shared the mound. District III topped Connecticut, 15-0, on Friday and beat New Jersey, 4-1, on Saturday. Second seeded District III (4-0) used solid defense and pitching to top Pa. District 15, 2-0, in a semifinal rematch on Sunday. Later that day Del. District III faced the host team in the championship game. Md. District 7 advanced to the finals last year, but lost to Pa. District 32. District III put four runs on the board in the first inning including three on a home run by Mel Thompson. Kelsey Doherty singled, went to second on a sac bunt by Brooke Evans, and moved to third on a single by Jenna Cahall. Cahall stole second before Thompson hit a 280 foot blast after fouling off a bunt attempt. That was all Smith, who threw a complete game, needed. Md. District 7 put two runs on the board, but great defensive plays by Evans, Doherty, and Jenna Allen kept District III on top. District III scored two more runs and went on to win, 6-2.

Senior baseball continued Justin Hignutt’s hands for the Friday Night semifinal game. Hignutt opened the first inning strong and in command. In the second inning he received some help from Justin Warren and right fielder Josh Retzlaff, who threw a runner out at home. Naamans scored one run in the inning on three hits. Woodbridge’s offense was hitting but base running errors hurt their chances to score runs. In the bottom of third Naamans threatened to put the game out of reach by loading the bases but Hignutt struck out the last batter. Retzlaff’s fourth inning sacrifice fly
scored Shane Ivory, putting Woodbridge on the board. The game remained close but in the fifth inning Naamans added two runs on a home run by Dalton Mayberry.

Laurel Senior League softball team gears up for World Series By Mike McClure
The 2010 Laurel Senior League softball team has almost an entirely new cast of characters going into World Series play in Roxana. But while most of the players are new to the worldwide tournament, it is nothing new for Laurel Little League which has sent a team to the World Series in six of the seven years it has been played in Delaware including the past four years. This year’s team includes returning players Kelsey Willey, Erin Johnson, Whitney Toadvine, and Logan Green. The rest of the team is new to this experience, but many of the players have been playing together for a number of years. “We have a lot of good, young players. They can hit the ball all over the place and they can field,” said Bree Venables. Older players like Venables and Willey will be looked to for on field leadership for some of the younger players. “We try to keep them up in the dugout. If someone gets down we try to get them up,” Kelsey Willey said. “Win or lose
we’re still the best.” Laurel’s path to the World Series was not an easy one this season. The team came out of the loser’s bracket to defeat a strong Woodbridge team twice to advance to the World Series. Alison Pusey had a key RBI double in the game while Willey picked up the game-winning infield hit as she dove into first base to beat the throw. “I was happy when I got my hit. I was hoping it was over (the fence),” said Pusey. “I didn’t really know what happened,” Willey said of her hit off the pitcher’s leg and head first dive into first. The returning players know what faces the team starting Sunday in Roxana, both on and off the field. “We get to meet a lot of new people from around the world,” Venables said. “You’ve got to be ready for the best. You have to go hard or go home.” “You have to show a lot of heart, too,” said Willey, who added that the level of pitching is different than what the team has faced locally.

J.J. Grasso of Pedricktown, N.J., once again added spice to an already exciting Rislone URC sprint feature on Saturday night at the Delaware International Speedway, winning his third feature of the season in his typical stand on the gas style. It was the third win of the season for Grasso and for car owners Pat and Kathy Palladino, this victory marked their 50th car owner victory in URC. It was a joyous victory ceremony with champagne spraying in victory lane. Grasso, threading his way through traffic in high, wide and handsome style, took the lead on lap 16 of the 25-lap feature and went on to collect the $2,500 first place prize. Viper Fuel added an additional $1,000 to the payoff with Grasso earning $500 of the bonus for the victory. Justin Collett earned and additional $250 of Viper money along with Becca Anderson, Kevin Darling, Kramer Williamson and Robbie Stillwaggon each earning an extra $50 courtesy of Viper. A field of 27 URC sprint cars turned out for the 10th event of the season with heat race victories going to Andy Best, Kevin Darling and Tim Hogue as Jimmy Stitzel earned the win in the “B” Main. In the feature event, Hogue set the pace at the drop of the green flag. As the second lap was completed, the yellow was displayed when Justin Jones spun in turn two. The following lap, the yellow fell once again, this time for Chris Weiss who spun. When green flag racing resumed, Hogue remained the pace setter with Darling in the chase. On a charge was Becca Anderson along with Kevin Nouse. With five laps complete, Hogue was the leader followed by Darling, Anderson, Nouse and Curt Michael. By lap nine, six-time champion Michael moved into third with Grasso fourth. Grasso made the move past Michael on lap 12 and set his sights on the leaders. Randy West brought out the final caution of the race on lap 16, stopping in turn four. On the restart, Hogue had the lead with the fast company of Grasso and Michael hot on his heels. Going into turn one, Grasso took the lead and Michael followed in second as Hogue, Josh Weller and Anderson made up the top five. Grasso maintained a comfortable lead over Michael as the action was shaping up for third. Weller passed Hogue for third and then began to reel in Michael. Nouse was on a charge and moved into the top five on lap nineteen. In the final laps, Grasso was approaching slower traffic but managed to maintain his lead over Michael. In the meantime, Weller moved closer to Michael. With the white flag waiving, Weller was now within striking distance of Michael in a battle for second.With the checker flag waiving, Grasso took the win over Michael, Weller, Hogue and Nouse.

Jamie Mills spins and wins in Delaware Modifieds By Charlie Brown Jamie Mills had his luck do a 180 degree turn during Saturday night’s Pepsi of Delmarva sponsored NAPA Big Block Modified 25-lap feature at the Delaware International Speedway. Mills would bring out the yellow twice in the first two laps of the main then drive from the rear of the 21 car field to post his second consecutive win. In the Big Block Modified feature, the caution was out before the first lap was in the books as Jordan Watson and Norman Short got crossed up on the back straight. On the restart, Mills got over the wheel of Dale Hawkins while making a bid for fourth and spun putting him to the rear of the field. Robert Dutton set the early pace with H.J. Bunting shooting into second. The yellow was out on lap two as Mills slowed down the back straight with a flat rear tire. His team was able to change the tire and get Mills back out at the rear once again. Bunting worked by Dutton to take the lead on lap eight just as the leaders were entering lapped traffic. Kenny Brightbill was on the move taking third from Dutton on lap nine and three laps later, pulling by Howard O’Neal for second. Mills was back in the top five by lap 16 as he shot by Brad Trice for fourth. By lap 19 Mills was running in third and trying to close the large gap between himself and both Bunting and Brightbill. Mills would get a bigger than expected break as Bunting’s motor let go as he powered off the fourth turn for lap 22. Brightbill shot past to lead the lap but as the yellow came out for Bunting who was slowing, Brightbill’s car lost power and came to a stop on the back straight. Mills found himself on top with two laps to go and held off O’Neal to post his second consecutive win and his third of the season in the I.G. Burton Chevrolet/Bicknell. O’Neal finished in second with Trice third. Fourth went to Matt Jester and Dutton rounded out the top five. Heats were won by Mills and Dale Hawkins. “I had a third place car tonight,” said Mills. “But I’ve always said that I would rather be lucky than good.” The Mod Lite field took to the track for their 15-lap feature as it started to spit rain. Tyler Reed took off in the lead with Tim White running in second and Erik McKinney in third. The rain held off and the first caution came out with five to go as Chris Jestice got around. On the restart White began to challenge for the lead edging out front on lap 13. Reed stayed on the back bumper of White as the pair took the white flag. In the final turn, White slipped up the speedway and Reed drove by on the bottom to record his fourth win of the year in the Bonneville Roofing/Pro. White held on for second with McKinney third. Fourth went to Alan Passwaters and Ty Short rounded out the top five. Fast time in qualifying was set by Reed. The AC Delco Modifieds hustled onto the track for their 15 lap feature. Scott Calhoun started on the pole but it was Shawn Ward driving from third to take the lead on lap one. Joseph Tracy pulled into the second spot with Kyle Fuller riding in third. Ryan Anderson was on a mission coming from 10th to fourth by lap four. The race would remain green until lap seven when Brandon Blades came to a stop. Under the yellow the rain came once again and the race was declared complete with Ward, in the Primo Team No. 14K taking his third win of the season. Tracy had to settle for second with Fuller, Anderson and Calhoun rounding out the top five. Fast time in qualifying was set by John Curtis. SAFE THIRD-

A view from the cheap seats By Mike McClure, Star Sports Editor There is much excitement in the area over the play of the local Little League softball teams. So far we have two teams in the World Series (Laurel Senior League and District III Big League) with a third team (Laurel Major League) currently playing in the Eastern Regionals. The Big League team, with players from throughout Sussex County including the core of the Laurel teams that played in the Senior League World Series the previous three years, is going to Kalamazoo, Mich. After a tough battle in the Eastern Regionals in Waldorf, Md., the team will represent USA East in the Big League World Series. Meanwhile, the Laurel Senior League softball team is going back to the World Series in Roxana. The team, which has just four players from last year’s squad, begins play Sunday following the opening ceremonies. And don’t forget the Laurel Major League team which is currently playing in the Eastern Regionals in Albany, N.Y. If the team wins that tournament, it too will be playing in a World Series. Laurel/Seaford Star on FacebookWith all of the excitement of Little League as well as the opening of the
Pop Warner football season around the corner, it is hard for a weekly paper to keep up. That’s why the Star’s sports section has a Facebook page. Check out “Seaford Star sports” and “Laurel Star sports” on Facebook for updated scores, previews of what will be in the next edition of the paper, photos, and more.
Champions in Sportsmanship- A pair of local schools were recognized along with 10 other schools in the state as the Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association’s (DIAA) state champions in sportsmanship. Sussex Tech High School received the honor for the fourth straight year while Phillis Wheatley Middle School of the Woodbridge School District won for the second straight year. Of the 17 schools that have won the award, Phillis Wheatley is the only middle school to be recognized. “Winning this award means these schools have made sportsmanship a part of their school’s culture,” said Kevin Charles, executive director of the DIAA.
Quick hits- Delmarva Shorebirds pitcher David Walters, who was recently called up to the team to serve as its closer, has local ties. His great grandmother is Helen Skjoldager of Laurel. More on this in a future edition of the Star.
Mark Pettyjohn gets second win in Delaware Late Models By Charlie Brown Mark Pettyjohn made the decision at the drop of the green in the Pepsi of Delmarva 20-lap Super Late Model feature to go for the lead. Pettyjohn fought his way by pole sitter Amanda Whaley and would never look back. Whaley held the second spot with Staci Warrington and Rob Schirmer batting for third. Schirmer took the third spot just and the one and only caution came out as Bob Geiger came to a stop. On the restart Pettyjohn began to drive away from the field and Schirmer grabbed second from Whaley. Herb Tunis followed into third while Warrington and Derrike Hill fourth for fourth. By halfway Pettyjohn had built a five second lead. Pettyjohn would extend his lead to a full straight over Schirmer and he went on to collect his second checkered of the season in the Hitchens Brothers Trucking/Swartz. Schirmer turned in another solid performance finishing in second with Tunis posting a season best in third. Fourth went to Warrington who held off Derrike Hill at the finish. Both heats were won by the female drivers as Whaley won heat one and Warrington won heat two. Sparky White led the first lap of the 15-lap Crate Model feature before Mike Wharton pulled on top. Clint Chalabala mounted a challenge on White for second and took the spot on lap five. Wharton would make no mistakes as the race went caution free and he drove his Patton Well Drilling/Warrior to his second straight win. Chalabala finished in second with White third. Tyler Reed came from eighth to finish in fourth and Chris Hitchens rounded out the top five. Fast time in qualifying was set by Reed.

It was not long before I would try to cut him off by making sure I was able to confess my transgressions before he got to my list of meanness. I think as a young boy I was convinced that Dad knew as much about what I was doing when no one was round as Jesus. But, it was not always the bad things that Dad took the time to know about. I recall in the second grade I had forgotten to tell my parents that there was an Antrim Bureau assembly at school and it cost 25 cents to go. I got to school and as Ms. McCready collected everybody’s quarter. I sat sad and so upset that I did not remind my Mom and Dad about that show. Now, I would be sitting in the classroom by myself, with my head on my desk while everybody else enjoyed seeing a man showing and talking about snakes of the eastern United States. I was feeling so down and then Ms. McCready came to my desk and said, “Oh, Tony, your Dad stopped by school and brought your assembly money.” I could have been no happier if she had announced that I was going to a shopping spree at the toy store in the upstairs of the 10-Cent Store. But, that was my Dad; he knew everything about his younguns.

We walked around DuPont Circle and Lafayette Square and saw the White House, from the front and from the back. We ate in two restaurants that feature sustainably-grown food, validation that our country is, however slowly and grudgingly, coming to understand climate change and ways to battle it. And we cheered Michelle Obama’s organic kitchen garden, which we could see through the White House fence along Constitution Avenue. On our last day there, we visited the National Museum of the American Indian, a part of the Smithsonian Institute to which we had never been. There, after absorbing as much information as we could and eating a wonderful and interesting lunch — I had a bison taco and tomato and watermelon salad, my

A funny thing happened on the way to the mall L
P
sister had sweet potato and plantain soup and blue cornbread — we wandered outside to walk the museum’s grounds, which feature indigenous plants as well as a vegetable garden. There, as if standing guard over the museum and its visitors, is an oversized statue of a Native American, bow and arrow in one raised hand and a fish in his other hand and wearing a buffalo headdress. I hope, I thought as I took a picture of the metal statue, that by the time the woman we saw earlier visits this museum, she has put away her literature and is paying attention to where she is going. Running into this sturdy fellow would make for quite an impact, much more so than with the skinny, longlimbed guy in the East Building of the National Gallery. And while there wasn’t any sign warning visitors not to touch the hunter, he was carrying a bow and what looked to be a pretty sharp arrow that, if accurately shot, could surely inflict severe injury. Munch’s “The Scream,” right there on the National Mall. And despite the pain, despite the horror, my guess is that my sister and I would probably laugh.

Medical insurance for retirees By Dr. Anthony Policastro There was a study done in Europe a few years ago, which looked at the lifetime medical costs of individuals and compared smokers to non-smokers. The interesting thing about the study was that smokers spent less in medical care over the course of a lifetime because they died sooner and did not have years of medical costs. A more recent study in the United States looked at lifetime medical costs, comparing individuals who lived a long life to those who did not. Over all the extra years, medical costs were more substantial. For that reason, those who lived longer had higher lifetime medical costs than those who died at a younger age. These facts may come as a surprise. You would think that not smoking and being healthy would save you money in medical costs. This would be true if you looked at the costs per year. However, living longer gives you more years of cost. So, over time you actually spend more money. The lesson in this is that even healthy individuals need to pay attention to medical insurance as they age. Medicare does

not cover everything and this is especially true for hospitalization, which has a high co-pay. In order to help with these extra costs, additional medical insurance can be purchased. That supplemental health care insurance sometimes goes by the name of Medigap insurance. As people near retirement, they need to look at a retirement budget and Medicare insurance is always a part of that budget. However, the need to provide coverage for things that Medicare will not cover is often not included in the budget. Health Care reform will result in changes in medical insurance, which will create a more complex insurance situation for many people. Individuals who are Medicare eligible will be no exception. They will have to continue to decide on whether to just get Medicare Part A or to include Part B. Having both is the right way to go. They will have to look at the drug plans offered by Medicare and decide on supplemental insurance. In addition to making the decision about supplemental insurance, they will also need to budget for it. This is one more piece of deciding on how to spend health care dollars after retirement age.

Monitored chickens test positive for West Nile virus West Nile virus has been detected in Delaware for the first time this year in a blood sample taken from sentinel chickens that are monitored for mosquito-borne diseases. The samples are collected as part of a statewide surveillance program conducted by the Mosquito Control Section of the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC). No cases of West Nile virus have been found in humans or horses so far in Delaware this year. The virus-positive results were reported to DNREC on July 22 by the Delaware Division of Public Health Laboratory. The chicken was sampled at a west Wilmington monitoring station on July 19, according to Mosquito Control Section Administrator William Meredith, Ph.D. Based upon these virus-positive findings, Mosquito Control will increase its mosquito population monitoring activities in the area. This first indication of mosquito-borne viruses in Delaware for 2010 occurring during mid-July is fairly typical of first-time occurrences in past years, Meredith added. Mosquito Control operates 24 caged chicken stations statewide. If exposed to West Nile or eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) viruses – both of which can affect humans and horses – the chickens develop antibodies that enable them to survive. Their blood is tested every two weeks for the presence of these antibodies, which in-
dicate the birds’ exposure to these viruses. Some indications point to the possibility of enhanced transmission for West Nile virus in 2010. As of July 20, New Jersey reports finding West Nile in 40 mosquito collections from 10 counties, with eight of these from nearby Gloucester County. Pennsylvania reports finding West Nile in 47 collections from seven counties, with 30 of these from nearby Delaware County. However, Maryland has found only one West Nile-positive mosquito collection and Virginia none. Indications also show the possibility of increased EEE occurrence and transmission. Regionally, EEE was found in midJuly in two New Jersey mosquito collections from Cape May County, and another EEE-positive mosquito collection was recently reported from upstate New York. “If this year’s hotter than normal conditions continue, there is some concern that the growth and replication of West Nile and EEE viruses may increase in mosquito hosts, leading to greater probability for virus transmission. However, if dry conditions also continue, mosquito breeding may be reduced, thus also reducing the number of mosquito hosts to transmit these viruses,” Meredith said. An effective equine vaccine now exists to protect horses from West Nile virus and EEE. There are no approved West Nile or EEE vaccines for humans. The majority of humans infected with West Nile virus typically have only symptoms similar to a
mild flu, if they show any signs at all; 20 percent of those infected develop a mild illness which includes fever, body and muscle aches, headache, nausea, vomiting and rash. A very small percentage of patients, usually the elderly, develop severe neurological disease resulting in meningitis or encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Symptoms may include sudden onset of severe headache, high fever, stiff neck, confusion and muscle weakness. Individuals with these symptoms should see their physician immediately. “While the finding of West Nile virus in Delaware is not cause for alarm, it serves as a good reminder for people to take common-sense precautions against mosquito bites,” Meredith said. These include wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants when outdoors in mosquito-prone areas, applying insect repellent containing 10-30 percent DEET in accordance with all label instructions, and avoiding mosquito-infested areas or times of peak mosquito activity around dusk, dawn or throughout the evening. To reduce mosquito-breeding, people should drain or remove items that collect water, such as buckets, birdbaths, rain barrels, old tires, flower pot liners, depressions in tarps covering boats, clogged rain gutters and unused swimming pools. To report intolerable numbers of biting mosquitoes, call Mosquito Control in Milford at 422-1512.
SUMMER PICNIC - Every summer, the Child Life team at Nemours/ Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children partners with the Delaware State Police and Delaware State Troopers Association to sponsor a party for the patients and their families at duPont Hospital. On July 22, troopers, hospital volunteers and community entertainers came to the hospital to help serve food and direct activities. The event offers a break from the stress often associated with the hospital experience, allowing patients to put aside their normal hospital routines and just be kids for the afternoon.

Third party can change outcome
Finally a letter from a voter who has come to the realization that voting for a 3rd party candidate is not a revolt against the two-party system, but is a wasted vote, often casting just enough votes to push their least favorite candidate to victory lane, as Penny Atkins writes in her letter last week of her vote for Ross Perot who took 18% of the conservative vote giving Bill Clinton the win. Although we differ on the outcome, I believe having Clinton in the White House did more for our country than “squeaky” Perot. I’ve argued for years third-party candidates only weaken the two-party system. Argue all you want that the major parties do not represent us anymore, but use your efforts to energize the parties and work to get the best candidates on the ticket. The Tea Party and Patriots, although masking as an “independent conservative” group, are actually funded by right-wing “non-profits.” If they continue ala Ross Perot mode, the Democrats will maintain the White House in 2012. Not a problem with me. I am glad to see one person has seen the light and given up on the 3rd party idea and will align with a major party, probably not mine, but her efforts will not go to waste.

Fire someone in the AG’s office
The William Hitch Jr. judgments by the Attorney General’s office stinks and the people from the Laurel School District have been treated badly. Something needs to be done about it. This man stole $150,000 of our tax dollars and someone from the AG office needs to be fired. Hitch got no fine, no interest and no jail time; he just has to pay the money back. We don’t even know how long he has to pay back the money. The people from the Laurel School District need to rise up and get some of these people fired. Norman W. Hastings

Being Sussex County’s most imperfect human and having experienced more light and darkness than most folks can imagine, I’m very clear on where I stand these days. Folks, I believe in the validity of what I do. That’s my preamble to this dissertation. That being said, nothing fires me up more than a politician who is so unscrupulous as to put out absolutely false information in a mass telephone poll in hopes of gleaning votes. Winning on your merits and the issues is a good thing; winning on lies about your opponent is reprehensible. When a politician intentionally misrepresents the facts, then he is nothing more than an emotional gangster who is attempting to steal your vote. I recently received a phone call which started out as what seemed to be a legitimate poll. “Who will you vote for - Michele Rollins or Glen Urquhart?” As soon as I said Rollins, the whole scenario changed. The message went something like this - “Did you know that Michele Rollins donates thousands of dollars every year to fund abortions? Now that you know this, will you still support Michele Rollins?” Folks, this is an absolute falsehood - totally untrue! Then another fabrication that indicated, “Michele Rollins has personally profited by being on the board of the Wilmington Trust Company by voting for this institution to receive TARP money. Knowing this would you still vote for her?” The message went on with lie after lie after lie. It was one of the most heinous push polls I have ever heard. At the end it said, “paid for by Glen Urquhart.” Glen Urquhart in his bid for the US

sitive and most affected by our mistakes: our children. Their future depends on corrective remediation and accountability from those sources of pollution. A key step in that process is analysis of the damages. Most importantly, the design of this body burden study must include sufficient remediation requirements of point source pollutors if/when alert levels are documented by the study. It would be my pleasure to see John Carney be elected to Congress because I have witnessed in my work with him that he understands and responds to these complex issues in a way I respect. I trust that it would be Delaware’s privilege to have John serving us as our congressman.

Congress is running a malicious and negative campaign against the Republican endorsed candidate, Michele Rollins, while he thumps his chest and talks about his Christian values. What a hypocrite! Frankly, if he lies to you before he gets elected, he’ll lie to you later when he does. Shame on you Glen Urquhart. Michele, I know you are a real lady who is refusing to go negative. I admire you for it, but now is the time to take the gloves off and defend yourself by explaining the facts about these issues. Honesty and truth will prevail over evil. I witnessed firsthand a whole bunch of evil last night.
Lewes
Kim Furtado, N.D.
As a Millsboro resident and Lewes health care practitioner, cancer rates in our community are a large concern. In 2007, when state officials refused to acknowledge the existence of cancer clusters, it was then Lt. Gov. John Carney’s influence and dedication which allowed the clusters to finally be identified by the state. We are still determining what to do next about these cancer clusters, and I fully support John Carney’s call for funding of the statewide “body burden” study. This comprehensive research will examine contaminants and toxins in bodily fluids, hair and tissues of Delaware residents, and it is one of the steps needed for proper response to identification of multiple cancer clusters around the state. Under the current leadership of Secretary O’Mara and Gov. Markell, DNREC has made significant steps in reducing further exposure of heavy metals and other toxins by the recent consent orders at Indian River Power Plant for closure of stack 3 in 2013. John Carney’s push to successfully fund a statewide “body burden” study is one I truly appreciate and support. In a cancer cluster area, it seems morally responsible that the potential burden of any local pollution source warrants further investigation and accurate documentation. I fully support any and all efforts to do a fair, properly structured research investigation into the level of pollution burden for residents in the Indian River area, and across the state. John Carney understands that research is key to finding solutions. I know he also supports actions, such as remediation of leaching fly ash, and reduction of emissions such as those under way. Without the body burden analysis done properly, however, the severity of the problem may continue to elude us, and we may continue to fail to protect those residents most sen-
Mentoring program expands
The Delaware Adolescent Program, Inc. (DAPI) would like to thank everyone who made the Laurel Kids Connection Mentoring Program such a wonderful success over the past three years. School staff and district administrators consistently supported the program, as did parents, business leaders and our awesome mentors. The students in our mentoring program had overall increases in their GPA’s, enjoyed the opportunity to explore the beauty of our State Parks, and learn about careers and higher education opportunities available to them - all this, plus building a relationship with a caring adult. Because this pilot program was so successful, DAPI has been able to secure funding to remain in the Laurel School District and expand mentoring to Seaford Middle School and another middle school in New Castle County. In addition, we will implement a mentoring program at each of our DAPI campuses throughout the state (Camden, Wilmington and Seaford). We welcome new mentors to join us in providing one-on-one mentoring for students. We ask that all mentors be over age 21, be able to commit to one hour per week for one year, pass a criminal background check and attend at least one 3-hour training (additional training offered) before being matched with a student. Mentoring is a wonderful way to serve your community! Let us help take the mystery out of being a mentor and offer you a way to experience the joy of mentoring. Contact us at 629-7790, or via e-mail at GPhillips@dapi.org. You may also apply to be a mentor directly at www.connecting-generations.org. Lynne Betts

Final Word
News articles around the Beltway
This year I had the occasion to spend Memorial Day weekend in Alexandria, Va., teaching a class for a professional association. Picking up a copy of that Sunday’s Washington Post (May 30, 2010), I read the Outlook section. Both its subject matter and point-of-view were clear: the Post is a paper for and about people inside the Beltway. The first article that caught my eye was a review of Christopher Hitchens’ autobiography, Hitch-22. Hitchens is a favorite of the left, a brilliant sophisticate who espouses his controversial political and social views regularly on cable talk shows. He is also an atheist and an alcoholic. A foreign policy piece, “Obama Doctrine, Vol. 1,” provided an analysis of how the current president has broken with his predecessors in dealing with potential enemies. It documented President Obama’s policy of attempting to learn about the intentions of closed regimes and reaching out to them. Those of us outside the beltway have been frequently embarrassed by world apology, and blame-America-first tours, made by the president and his advisors. The most interesting aspect of this article, however, was its author. It was credited to Samuel R. Berger, former national security advisor to Bill Clinton. We know “Sandy” Berger primarily as the Clinton advisor who stuffed classified documents, possibly incriminating to his former boss,
into his socks and pants pockets at the National Archives. He then left with some of them. A few documents were “inadvertently” thrown out. Initially, Berger called the episode “an honest mistake.” Liberal columnist John Leo, a former employee of the New York Times and Columbia University commented, “Frankly, we are much too busy for this kind of stuff.” Would Leo have treated similar activity by Karl Rove, covering for George W. Bush, with the same flippant comment? Berger finally settled for a fine and community service. As a Marine officer, if I had treated classified material with the same cavalier attitude, I would be writing this column from behind bars. A third article, “The fake feminism of Sarah Palin,” then attracted my attention. A favorite target of the left, from David Letterman to Jon Stewart, Palin was skewered this time by Jessica Valenti, the founder of feministing.com. Ms. Valenti is also the author of “The Purity Myth: How America’s Obsession with Virginity is Hurting Young Women.” She has been put off by Sarah Palin’s adoption of a feminism mantra during some recent speeches. She characterizes Palin and the Republican Party as voting time and again against women’s rights. Women’s rights, to women like Valenti, are the narrow feminist views of the far left. To them, women are just another special interest group. The catch phrase defining Valenti’s perspective was on the second page, “social justice.” Social justice
is a socialist term that designates the government as the collective arbiter of justice – think “spread the wealth around.” This stands in stark contrast to the Godgiven individual rights espoused by Sarah Palin and like-minded conservatives. Successful women like Palin, who promote traditional American values, terrify leftists. Women voted in large numbers to elect Barack Obama, and the disastrous Congress that has carried his water. Leftists are deathly afraid that a strong woman like Palin may catch fire with women and break up a vital special interest group. They must destroy her. Delawareans voted to elect Barack Obama in 2008; however, Delaware was the first state to ratify the Constitution, and its citizens believe in its principles. Those in the “First State” did not sign up for a socialist-secular agenda. It was foisted on us by elitists who don’t understand us, or care to, under the guise of “hope and change” and “transformation of America.” November 2010 and November 2012 will be critical elections for the future of Delawareans. Those of us who believe in the Constitution, limited government, and the Godgiven rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness will have a chance to take back our government for us and, most importantly, for our children. We must seize the opportunity. Fred Seth
