A cool July 4th festival With evening parade and entertainment in shady Janosik Park, annual event escapes typical heat By Lynn R. Parks On a warm July 4th afternoon, Gwen and Bill Messenger, Blades, sat in the shade of a tree, enjoying the sounds of the classic rock group The Funsters. Each was dressed in red, white and blue; each thought that the Janosik Park on the banks of Broad Creek was a great place for Laurel’s annual Independence Day celebration. “This is a beautiful park,” Gwen said. “This is just like you know it had to be years ago, when all small towns had their own July 4th celebration. “And look at how many people are wearing red, white and blue,” she added, waving her hand in the direc-

tion of the crowd. “This is a really nice place to have the festival,” added her husband, a native of Ohio. “This is how July 4th was when I was a kid, with all the small towns celebrating.” For the first time in its 13-year history, the Laurel Fourth of July celebration was held on the shaded banks of Broad Creek. Food and craft vendors were set up along Laureltowne Street, from Central Avenue to Laureltowne, and the bandstand was set up in Janosik Park. “I love it here,” said Stacy Tripi, Seaford, who was lying on a blanket under a tree on the creek bank. “It is very relaxing.”

Tripi and her boyfriend, Ron Wheeler, also of Seaford, planned to spend the whole day in Laurel. They had just finished a pizza and wanted to get some kind of dessert — “I have to have my sugar,” Tripi said — before the evening’s fireworks. They had also spent the evening before in Laurel, watching the traditional Red, White and Blue Parade and enjoying the sounds of rock band Route 1. “I hope we can do this every year,” Wheeler said. Al Turchin, president of the Laurel Chamber of Commerce, which sponsored the event, said Tuesday that the Continued on page 4

Captain Willie to Land at Nanticoke Riverfest “The 13th Annual Nanticoke Riverfest is just days away and more exciting events have been added to the schedule. This year’s Chairperson, Trisha Booth, and the Nanticoke Riverfest committee invite you and your family to celebrate the Nanticoke River and the chance to have fun with your neighbors! “Throughout our planning process the Riverfest committee modifies and adds new events and attractions, this is no exception in the week before Riverfest. We are constantly working to make the event better,” said Booth. Many raffle items are available to win at the 13th Annual Nanticoke Riverfest. On display in City Hall is a child’s bike donated by Jan Weir. The bike is up for raffle for just 50 cents per ticket or three tickets for $1. Weir has donated a bike for years in hopes that a child, who may otherwise not be able to afford one, can have the opportunity to own a new bike. Additionally, a stainless steel gas grill is up for auction and on display at City Hall. The grill, generously donated by Peninsula Oil and Propane, is valued at over $500. Tickets are on sale now for one dollar a ticket or six tickets for $5. Both winners will be announced at 8:45 p.m. on Saturday, July 14, immediately before the performance of Mike Hines and the Look. Ticket holders do not have to be present to win. Captain Willie Dykes and the WBOC Chopper 16 will be landing at the Riverfront off of Front Street on Saturday, July 14 at 10:30 a.m. courtesy of Nemours Health and Prevention Services and the Sussex Child Health Promotion Coalition. Landing with Captain Willie will be a pirate to help launch the new look of 5-21 Almost None. Look for another pirate landing by boat at 12:45 during the fishing tournament off of Water Street. For years Froggy 99.9 and WTDK the Duck have been a strong presence at the Nanticoke Riverfest. This year, the B 101.7 has joined the group and will be doing live remotes by the Information Booth on the corner of Pine and High Streets. Stop by to meet your favorite DJ‚s from the B 101.7 and 95.3. An additional performance by “Plenty

Problems,” a steel drum group comprised of young people has been added to Friday night’s entertainment line up. The group will be performing at 5 p.m. in Mount Olivet parking lot to kick off the event and will also be performing at 7 p.m. at City Hall. This program is made possible, in part, by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency committed to promoting and supporting the arts in Delaware. The 13th Annual Riverfest will once again feature the annual float-in, canoe and kayak races, duck dash, shopping, food, entertainment, a 5k race and more. This year’s theme, “Once Upon a Time on the Nanticoke” is both an enchanted fairy-tale approach and a historic approach recognizing the historic 400th anniversary of the exploration of the area by Captain John Smith. As such, visitors can enjoy the Delaware Archive’s exhibit on “17th Century Delaware” to learn about the time of Captain John Smith at the Seaford Museum. Those with a competitive spirit can participate in a Captain John Smith and Pocahontas Look-A-Like contest, winning a WTDK the Duck Prize Pack including a 4-Pack of tickets to Six Flags! Children can enjoy carnival games and rides, a free youth fishing tournament with a host of trophies and prizes, face painting, music and games. Additionally, visitors can dunk local celebrities in the Rotary Dunking Booth,

Local artists will have work on display along the Nanticoke Riverwalk and free first aid demonstrations will be given, in addition to programs offered by downtown Seaford merchants. The 13th Annual Nanticoke Riverfest was organized by a group of 28 volunteer committee members who met monthly throughout the year.

Neighbors protesting liquor store planned for Central Avenue By Lynn R. Parks A public hearing on a request to open a liquor store on Central Avenue in Laurel, next to the Shore Stop and across from the Boys and Girls Club, will be Thursday, July 19. Sandy Russell, whose house is on Chestnut Street, within 200 yards of the proposed package store, will be at the hearing to speak out against the request. “I am opposed to the liquor store going in there,” Russell said. “We have a lot of families around here with young children who walk to the Shore Stop and I don’t think that school-age children should be around a liquor store.” Russell said that she has collected 16 signatures on a petition against the liquor store. All signatures are from people who own property within 200 yards of the proposed site. Also collecting signatures on a petition is Mike Pellegrino, who is seeking permission to open the store. Pellegrino, Selbyville, said that he has close to 100 signatures on his petition, asking the state liquor commission to allow the store. “I understand the people’s concerns,” Pellegrino said. “But I don’t want to sell liquor to children and I won’t sell liquor to children. Part of my job is to make sure that I sell only to people 21 or older.” State law requires that anyone applying for a liquor license notify all people who

When the office of the state’s Alcohol Beverage Control commissioner found out that Russell had not been notified, it rescinded a preliminary license it had granted to Pellegrino. Instead of going through the notification procedure again, Pellegrino opted to have a public hearing. John Cordrey, commissioner of Alcohol Beverage Control, will attend the hearing and will decide whether or not to grant Pellegrino’s request. Cordrey’s decision can be appealed to an appeals commission; the commission’s decision can be further appealed to the state Superior Court. Cordrey said that the Delaware state code spells out when a request for a liquor license can be refused. The code allows the commissioner to deny the license request when “a substantial objection to the granting of the license has been presented by the community within which the [store] is to operate.” A “substantial objection,” according to the code, is one that would convince the commissioner either that a majority of the community’s residents op-

Saturday, July 21, children in grades two through six are invited to a Harry Potter Festival. Participants will have a chance to win a copy of book seven. Doors open at 10 a.m.

The Laurel Church of the Nazarene, at the corner of Central Avenue and Walnut Street, is one block south of the proposed location. The state code also provides for the license application to be denied if the commissioner rules that a community has

enough package stores. “We already have five liquor stores in the Laurel area,” Russell said. “We don’t need six.” “I have heard that argument before,” said Pellegrino. “But what’s the definition of enough? When are there enough gas stations, or enough dry cleaners? I am just following the American dream of trying to be my own boss. I am just trying to make a buck my own way.”

MORNING STAR ✳ JULY 12 - 18, 2007

Meet Your Fire Service Volunteers Delmar firefighter serves for almost 50 years The Seaford and Laurel Star newspapers continue its series of articles highlighting the men and women who serve as volunteers in the local fire departments. The articles feature some of the most senior members, some cadets, those who have specialized training and members of the auxiliaries. These volunteers work tirelessly providing protection and responding in time of need. We hope the series helps to show our respect for their efforts as we increase community awareness of their sacrifices. By Donna Dukes-Huston At the age of 75, Delmar native Oscar Porter is still an active member of the Delmar Volunteer Fire Department. Next February, Porter will celebrate 50 years as a firefighter. Porter says he grew up around the fire department watching his father assume various roles over the years. Porter decided to join the department himself during his father’s term as fire chief. The nudge to join, however, did not come from his father. “I was working shift work at DuPont at the time,” Porter said, “and I had a good friend who worked with me. He told me the

fire department really needed guys who could be available during the day and I knew I could do that on certain shifts.” Since joining, Porter has assumed many positions and offices in the fire department, including chief from 1984-1985. Porter’s son has also been involved with the department, making this a true family tradition for the Porters. This type of family involvement is not uncommon in Delmar, Porter said. The department itself is like its own family unit as well, he added. Over the years Porter has seen many changes. One of those is in the area of training. “Training is a big thing now,” Porter said. “Delaware State Fire School used to be held only two weekends a year and everybody had to go on those weekends.” Training offered at the fire school today is ongoing and a facility in Georgetown has been added. Individual companies can schedule their own practice drills at this facility on a regular basis, Porter said. The type of gear firefighters wear has also improved, Porter added. Nomex suits have replaced the old canvas suits, providing more safety while fighting

fires. They are also more diligent about wearing breathing apparatus for all types of emergencies. “Fires today started by manmade products give off such toxic fumes, we can’t even think about not using our self-contained breathing apparatus, even at automobile accidents,” Porter said. Such safety precautions have been established in regard to the equipment as well. Firefighters can no longer ride on the running boards of the engine. “I’ve seen fifteen guys on the old one at one time,” Porter said, referring to the 1948 engine. Now each engine holds seven people inside, all of whom need to be seat belted, Porter said. Porter also contributes changes in ambulance service to the growth of Delmar. “We now have four paramedics and four EMTs that provide full-time coverage 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” Porter said. Porter predicts that with Delmar’s projected growth, the department may have to build a substation, either on the Maryland side or on the west side of town near the new housing development. Porter is proud that he has been a part of this organization for almost fifty years and is still

active. “I’m about the only one my age who still climbs on that fire truck,” Porter said.

“It’s been worth every minute of it,” Porter concluded. “I feel like I’ve done something for my community.”

5.14 Cost of driver’s licenses, registration fees set to go up The Oct. 1 implementation of new registration fees for all vehicle classes, and the start of new fees for drivers’ licenses on July 9, are expected to generate immediate customer questions for the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV), a division of the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT). Registration and driver’s license fee increases (from $20 to $40 for a car, light duty truck, van; and $25 for a new driver’s license and $15 for a permanent license renewal) are part of a package of fee and toll increases approved by the General Assembly to provide additional revenues to the transportation budget. Registrations due on or after Oct. 1 will pay new registration fees, even if they register prior to that date. Registrations due on or prior to Sept. 30 will pay the current rates. However, if a registration is paid late (on or after Oct. 1), the customer will pay the increased fees and be charged a $10 late fee. Renewal notices for these customers were mailed earlier this week. This is the first passenger vehicle registration fee increase since 1965. According to DMV, approximately 30,000 people register vehicles with its four facilities statewide. Owners of vehicles that are newer than five years (model year of the vehicle) and that weigh less than 10,000 pounds can renew the registration by mail, or at a DMV facility. The owners must provide DMV with valid proof of Delaware liability insurance and a vehicle odometer reading prior to renewal. All other vehicles must pass inspection prior to renewal. Key dates for implementation of new fees and tolls are: Effective Oct. 1, the document fee will increase to $3.25 per each $100 of purchase price of vehicle, or 3.25 percent of vehicle value. The title fee will increase from $15 to $25 for a title without a lien. The normal $10 fee will still be charged for a title with a lien. Tolls for all classes of vehicles on I-95 will increase by $1. The commercial vehicle nighttime discount on I-95 will be eliminated. Passenger tolls on Rt. 1 on weekends (Fridays at 7 p.m. to Sunday) will increase by $1. Commercial tolls will increase on Rt. 1 by $1 on weekdays and $2 on weekends and commercial tolls will increase at Boyds Corner, Smyrna and Denneys ramps. The passenger 50 percent frequent user discount will still be in effect on Rt. 1. Effective Jan. 1, 2008, the state will charge a 50-percent surcharge on all traffic fines. Effective Oct. 1, 2008, the document fee will increase to $3.75 per each $100 of purchase price of vehicle, or 3.75 percent of vehicle value. More information on the increases and other information is available at www.deldot.gov.

Ripe tomatoes, fresh basil capture flavors of summer If there’s a spot in the world that captures the essence of summer, ORETTA NORR it’s the Campania region of Italy on the breathtakingly lovely Amalfi Coast. Perpendicular slopes dotted with houses one atop the other plunge down to the deep blue sea where fishermen cast their nets by day and night. Lush gardens bloom with jasmine, oleander, bougainvillea and all manner of fruit and vegetables. The vegetables and fruit are sweet, the fish tastes as though it were in the sea just minutes before it arrived on your plate, the gelato is to die for and I was blessed to experience it all first hand for two glorious weeks. In Campania, the tomato is king. Astonishingly, tomatoes didn’t become popular in Italy until the early 19th century, but all Italians take them very seriously now. They divide them into two classes — those used raw for salads and those used in cooking. The very best salad tomatoes we enjoyed were ugly, misshapen things with streaks of green that made them look somewhat unripe. But they were sweettart, juicy, and perfect with fresh greens.

MORNING STAR â&#x153;ł JULY 12 - 18, 2007

Health In case you wonder what I do By Anthony Policastro, M.D

I will be starting my developmental and behavioral pediatrics practice at the Nemours Seaford office on July 13th. Up to this point in time, most of the patients that I have seen have had ADHD or learning problems. That has resulted in a three-month wait for appointments. It has also resulted in a waiting list for appointments. Now that I will be seeing more patients, there should be little if any wait to get in to see me. Therefore, I felt it made sense to share what a developmental and behavioral pediatrician does. Childhood development is complex. There are a variety of different theories explaining it. The good news is that most children develop just fine. They do well from a learning standpoint. They do well from a behavioral standpoint. Those individuals with minor issues can easily be taken care of by their primary care physician. There are some children whose problems are more complex. They may benefit from consulta-

A behavior modification plan can be worked out with a behavioral pediatrician to try and get things back on course. tion with a specialist. Many of the children I currently see for learning issues have a combination of problems. They may have both ADHD and a learning problem. Deciding how much of the issue belongs to each of these is sometimes complicated. It affects the course of treatment. Similar issues occur with other developmental problems. For example, autism requires a lot of educational intervention. There are medical issues that need to be handled. However, the school plays a big role. Occasional input from a developmentalist may help with that balance. Some children have a combination of motor delays and mental delays. This is often related to premature birth. Again

they need a combination of medical therapy, rehabilitation therapy and education. Working out a plan for the combination of those three can benefit from a developmental referral. Some inherited genetic and chromosomal disorders have a combination of problems. These may also include educational issues. They may include rehabilitation issues. They may include medical issues. Consultation with a developmental pediatrician may help work out the plan for the mix of services needed. Many behavioral issues are mild. They just need advice from the primary care physician. Some are a little more complex. A behavior modification plan can be worked out with a behavioral pediatrician to try and get things back on course. Severe behavioral problems will be even beyond the behavioral pediatrician and need counseling. The behavioral pediatrician can provide assistance with making the decision about ongoing counseling.

Public Health issues rabies reminder Delaware Health and Social Services' (DHSS) Division of Public Health (DPH) reminds the public that rabies continues to be present in Delaware and outdoor activities may put residents in proximity to infected animals. Raccoons, skunks and foxes remain the most frequent carriers of the disease in Delaware, and these animals are active in areas where people live. This also brings these wild animals in close contact with pet dogs and cats, which can also become infected. For that reason, Tom Postell, DPH rabies program manager, advises residents to avoid all contact with unknown animals, including unfamiliar dogs and cats. "If it is not your family's pet, do not touch or approach the animal," Postell said. David Wolfe, MPH, DPH epidemiologist, said rabies affects different animals in different ways. Some animals become aggressive, and others are passive. Pet owners should update their animals' rabies vaccination and not allow pets to wander. Adults should encourage children to refrain from touching unfamiliar animals and immediately tell them if they have been bitten or scratched. Anyone who believes they or a loved one have had contact with a rabid animal should call DPH.

Health Briefs New Facilities at Nemours For parents, having a sick child can be a nerve-wracking experience. Even when a child gets an earache, fever, or a minor injury that they know isn't life threatening, most parents would like to have them examined by a healthcare professional. Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children has a brand new facility to help treat children with minor illnesses and injuries quickly and efficiently. The newly expanded Urgent Care Center is now located next to the Emergency Department at Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children. Parents can bring their child into the Emergency Department entrance where a nurse will evaluate symptoms. About 30 percent of children entering the ED will go to Urgent Care Center. Children who do not require intensive treatment will be taken to the new state-ofthe-art center with six private treatment rooms staffed by board-certified pediatricians. To help reduce a family's anxiety, the waiting area is attractively designed with soothing colors, comfortable chairs, and a courtyard. This unit benefits families in two ways. Because they do not have to wait behind other more critical patients, it provides quick treatment for minor injuries and illnesses. This allows the main ER to concentrate on patients that require more intensive care that requires longer treatment times. The Urgent Care Center is open from 10 a.m. to midnight, Monday through Friday and 1 p.m. to midnight on weekends and holidays.

Diabetes screenings Blood Bank of Delmarva will offer blood donors the opportunity to be screened for diabetes beginning in October. It will be the first blood banking organization in the country to launch this type of program. Up to 50,000 blood donors are expected to be screened annually, helping identify many people on the Delmarva Peninsula who do not know they have or are at risk for developing diabetes. Confidential results will be posted on a secure server accessed through the Blood Bank’s website. Robert L. Travis, president and CEO of the Blood Bank of Delmarva, conceived the idea for a screening program after hearing a presentation on the diabetes epidemic. Travis formed a committee of experts from Christiana Care Health System, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Delaware, the American Diabetes Association (ADA), and the Delaware Division of Public Health to help advance the project. According to the ADA, more than 75,000 people locally have diabetes. About one-third of them are “hidden diabetics” (more than 6 million nationwide) and are unaware they have the disease. “Once we understood the magnitude of the diabetes problem and how tens of thousands of people could be screened, our

board voted to move ahead with this important project,” said Travis. The non-fasting blood glucose test will be completely voluntary and will be offered to donors at no charge. Donors with an elevated blood glucose level will be urged to consult their physician. Diabetes is the fifth leading cause of death by disease, with more than 400,000 Americans dying from its complications each year. Those can include problems related to the heart, kidneys, eyes, feet, nerves, teeth, and gums. If detected early, diabetes is treatable.

Food health inspections online Finding out about a food establishment's latest inspection is as easy as going online. Visitors can view inspection reports for restaurants, fast food operations, delis, cafeterias, and other types of food service establishments at www.dhss.delaware.gov/dhss/dph/hsp/. Visitors can view establishments by name, county, or date of inspection. Both minor and major violations of state standards are included. This new service makes it easier for the public to check on eating establishments and allows people to quickly find out whether restaurants are meeting food safety standards. In Delaware, there are over 3,500 permitted food establishments that prepare and serve food to the public. Most of these are inspected twice a year using the State of Delaware Food Code, a science-based regulation similar to the national model from the US Food and Drug Administration. Inspections assure the food is being handled properly from preparation through serving. Inspectors observe kitchen worker's food handling practices, make sure equipment is working properly, take food temperatures, inspect refrigerators and storage areas, and measure water temperatures and sanitizer levels. If a problem is found, the manager is shown the correct procedure. The online report listing shows the date of the most recent food safety inspection and which Food Code "critical" requirements, if any, were out-of-compliance at the time of the inspection. Non-critical violations - which are not displayed, involve important retail practices such as facilities maintenance and general sanitation, but are less likely to contribute to food borne illness. "None" when entered in the Food Code Critical Violations column indicates that there were no critical violations observed during the inspection on the date listed.

EMSC Award Nemours employee Marie Renzi, MSN, RN, CEN, EMSC, Program Manager for Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children and the Delaware Division of Public Health was one of six individuals who received the 2007 Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) National Heroes Award

on June 19 in Washington, D.C. EMSC awards are given to individuals for their commitment, creativity, and resourcefulness in successfully addressing one or more challenging EMSC issues. Renzi was named the recipient of this year's EMSC Project Coordinator of Distinction Award for her comprehensive understanding of Delaware's pediatric emergency medical care issues and for successfully integrated EMSC into state EMS programs. In 1997, Renzi became a "founding member" of the Delaware EMSC program after the state received its first EMSC grant. Under her leadership, Delaware conducted two comprehensive pediatric emergency care needs assessments, then implemented and completed a five-year plan based on the findings. One of Renzi's greatest assets is her

ability to bring several organizations together for a common cause. She has initiated and sustained relationships with a number of pediatric-related organizations, including her most recent collaboration with Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children. With this partnership in place, paramedic students are now guaranteed a significant amount of clinical time in the pediatric emergency department. She has also diligently served on many committees and task forces over the years. She is currently a member of the State Coordinating Council for Children With Disabilities, the Delaware Safe Kids Coalition Board, and the State School Health Services Commission. More recently, she was appointed by Gov. Ruth Ann Minner to serve on the State's Child Death and Stillborn Commission.

MORNING STAR ✳ JULY 12 - 18, 2007

7-7-07 was a record day for making wedding vows By James Diehl Church-goers treasure the day because of its deep-rooted religious meaning; the superstitious among us equate it to carrying a lucky rabbit’s foot in their pocket for the rest of their life and those prone to casino visits hope it will bring good fortune. For many men, however, it’s just a little extra insurance against ever forgetting the date of their anniversary. While numbers are hard to nail down, last Saturday could prove to be the biggest day ever in terms of marriage ceremonies nationwide. On-line registry TheKnot.com, for example, reports a three-fold rise in couples registering July 7 – or 7/7/07 – as their wedding date. More than 38,000 couples registered for that date, compared to 12,000 on a normal Saturday in July. In Las Vegas alone, estimates

reached as high as 3,000 couples that were hoping to exchange vows on July 7. It was a big day in Sussex County as well. The clerk of the peace’s office in Georgetown reported a more than 60 percent rise in marriage license applications in the week ending July 6, compared to the same week in 2006. Clerk of the Peace George Parrish performed four marriages himself last Saturday, with Deputy Clerk Annie Besche-Martin performing four others. Ceremony locations ranged from Milford to Bethany Beach and several points in between. “I am obviously delighted to participate in the July 7, 2007 marriage ceremonies,” Parrish said. “Some of the people calling in have significantly asked for July 7. “For others, it was just a matter of coincidence and this was

the day they wanted to do it.” Millsboro resident Brian Short was all smiles after marrying Deborah Bailey on The Circle in Georgetown Saturday afternoon.

She calls the day lucky, but for a deeply personal reason. “I just feel lucky because I have Brian,” said the new Mrs. Short rather matter-of-factly mo-

ments after exchanging vows. Across the county at Thee Wedding Chapel in Laurel, coordinator Erma Hastings had three Continued to page 23

Even after college, she wants to be a truck driver Years ago, when our daughter was still in middle school, she announced her intention, when she grew up, to be a truck driver. I managed, with experience and all the wisdom of my ancestors behind me, to react calmly. Without any foot stomping, without raising my voice, I simply told her that that would be fine. “As long as you go to college first, and understand all your options, you can be whatever you want to be,” I said. College would put an end to such foolish notions, I was sure. A mind opened by literature and philosophy to all the world has to offer would surely move beyond wanting to bounce back and forth on a highway, day after day, week after week. Now, her college career is finished. She has a bachelor’s degree in two majors, English and ancient Greek and Roman studies. She has read Ovid and Plato, Shakespeare and Donne. She has edited professional catalogs, diagrammed vastly complex sentences, studied religion, seen plays, visited museums, toured the Southwest and been to other countries. And still, she wants to be a truck driver. “This is your fault,” I told my husband after she told us she was enrolling in truck driving school. It was he, after all, who took her, when she was little more than a baby, to the garage at his work, where mechanics kept drill rigs in good running order. And it was he who filled her head with romantic notions about life on the open road. When a five-hour trip home from Pennsylvania turned into an eight-hour journey that took her into West Virginia and onto the Virginia side of the Washington Beltway at rush hour, it was he, when I could do nothing but express relief that she was home, who demanded details about her drive in the mountains and on the congested beltway. It was obvious that he, stuck behind a desk and a mountain of paper at work, would have preferred to be with her. Whoever’s fault it is, our daughter is now entering the sixth week of an eight-week truck driving course. She has driven a rig to Dover and back and by the time the course is complete, will have driven to Wilmington and back, including a trip through the city’s downtown.

LYNN PARKS We tell our daughters that they can be anything they want to be, and then they go and do it. What, I wonder now, were we thinking? She is enjoying her classes, which are far more complicated than I had imagined they would be. In addition to the rules of the road, she is learning diesel mechanics, the history of the highway system and federal trucking laws. She and her father have long discussions about the cost of tires. Meanwhile, I have noticed that the trade journals she brings home — “Movin’ Out” and “Transport Topics,” among them — all have writers and editors. I point that out, whenever there is a break in the tire conversation, and quietly suggest that, with her education, she should send to the journals her resume. Adult children, I guess, are parenting’s best rewards. We teach our babies to talk and the first thing they ask is, Why? We teach our children to be independent, and then they want to leave us. We tell our daughters that they can be anything they want to be, and then they go and do it. What, I wonder now, were we thinking? Years ago, when my children were young, their pediatrician, a father of five, talked about the dreams we have for our children. “I tell my children that even if they want to work on a garbage truck, as long as they are the best garbage truck workers they can be, I will be proud,” he said. I am proud of my daughter because she is kind, and intelligent, and open-minded, and adventuresome. If she also happens to be a truck driver, then I will just have to get used to it. Ovid and Plato, Shakespeare and Donne — and probably their mothers — would expect no less.

Carney, association recognized for campaign against cervical cancer Lt. Gov. John Carney and the National Lieutenant Governors Association (NLGA) are recipients of this year’s award of excellence from the American Society of Association Executives. The award recognizes the “Ending Cervical Cancer in our Lifetime” campaign for making a contribution to the advancement of American society. “This recognition gives us the opportunity to spread the word about how to prevent this deadly disease that kills almost 4,000 women annually,” said Carney. Nearly all cases of cervical cancer are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), a virus spread through sexual contact. The “End Cervical Cancer in our Lifetime” campaign was designed to educate women about the dangers of HPV. It informs readers about abstinence, safe sex, regular Pap tests, and a new FDA-approved

vaccine as effective ways to guard against cervical cancer. Carney launched the “End Cervical Cancer in our Lifetime” this past October. Since then, he has distributed more than 13,000 brochures and bracelets through doctors’ offices, hospital, health centers, and other venues across the state. The award for “End Cervical Cancer in our Lifetime” was one of only 13 Awards of Excellence presented this year by the American Society of Association Executives. More than 11,000 associations were eligible. The “End Cervical Cancer in our Lifetime” campaign is now being considered for the ASAE’s Summit Award, which is the highest award given by the association.

Triple sevens hold special significance for many people Continued from page 20

ceremonies booked for the big day. But she had to turn away four other couples because of time constraints. “At first I was just totally surprised by all the calls I was getting, but then I realized it was 7/7/07,” Hastings said. “We had several requests that we just weren’t able to accommodate because we try to allow enough time for the bride to come in and get dressed and for picture taking afterwards. We don’t want it to be just a dash-in and dash-out type of wedding.” One of the couples Erma helped exchange vows on the “luckiest day of the century” was Philip Speakes and Michelle Jackson, both from Salisbury. After dating for 10 years, Speakes felt a day like 7/7/07 could certainly create some positive karma in preparation for the long road ahead. “My fiancée picked the date but when I heard about it, I told

her that day is pretty much guaranteed to be lucky,” Speakes said. “It’s just a very happy day for me. It’s been a long time coming, but this has turned out to be a very good day. “I think it has to be a good omen and things are going to work out good.” While triple sevens have significant meaning in the areas of superstition and numerology, it also has a deeply rooted meaning in the realm of religion. God rested on the seventh day, Catholics celebrate seven sacraments and seven virtues and, in Jewish weddings, the couple has seven days of festive meals. Buddha is said to have walked seven steps upon his birth, the Islamic tradition involves seven levels of heaven and seven candles are lit during Kwanzaa. There are seven days in a week, seven notes on a musical scale and Seven Wonders of the World. For all of these reasons, and many more, brides and grooms

wanted to get married on this most important of days. Across Sussex County, and the nation, bakeries, formal wear shops and caterers fought to keep up with the demand for July 7 weddings. Helen Snyder, a manager for After Hours Formalwear in Salisbury, reported an especially brisk sales and rental period, “significantly” higher than an average summer weekend. For those lucky enough to get married on 7/7/07, the positive vibes created by the special day were worth the extra effort. “I believe that things happen for a reason and, after all the things that we’ve been through, this is just one of the most beautiful days of my life,” said Daniel Breeding moments after exchanging vows with his new bride Saturday. “Guys can’t remember dates all that well, but I should be able to remember this one.” If he does, he can consider himself, well, lucky.

Deborah Bailey, left, and Brian Short are married by Sussex County Clerk of the Peace George Parrish Saturday, July 7, on The Circle in Georgetown. The groom said he should have no trouble remembering his anniversary date – 7/7/07.

New hunting license fees

With the passage of House Bill 108, the cost of a Delaware hunting license is now $25 a year for residents and $130 a year for nonresidents. The new law also brings other changes, including a new guide license, a new junior hunting license and a $10 daily fee to be charged for waterfowl blinds and deer stands on all state wildlife management areas. The new junior hunting license is now required for all individuals ages 13 through 15 except for those who are license exempt. Exemptions are made for hunters under the age of 13 who hunt with a lawful license holder and individuals who own or reside upon farms of at least 20 acres or more. The cost of the junior license is $5 for residents and $50 for non-residents. This new license changes the required age range for an adult hunting license to 16 to 64. The new guide license costs $100 for residents and $300 for non-residents. Also, a non-resident three-day hunting license now costs $50. Division of Fish and Wildlife Director Patrick Emory said the new fees were needed to offset projected deficits in wildlife management and research programs, including a shortfall of approximately $368,000 for 2007-2008. "Without the increase in fees the Division would have had to curtail many popular programs," Emory said. "Even with the new increase, Delaware still has one of the lowest hunting license fees in the country." For more information on Delaware hunting licenses, call the wildlife section at 302-7399912 or visit www.fw.delaware. gov and click on wildlife.

MORNING STAR ✳ JULY 12 - 18, 2007

Camp Hope offers healing environment for children Delaware Hospice’s Camp New Hope worked its magic in the lives of the children who attended on June 26-29 at Bridgeville United Methodist Church. Children arrive at camp, much like other children arrive at a typical summer camp; however, at Camp New Hope these campers are struggling to carry their heavy personal burdens of grief. Campers come from either families who have been in Delaware Hospice’s care program or from the community, and Camp New Hope offers a safe and healing environment that helps normalize the grief process for them. From the first day of camp, the elephant in the room--which is their personal grief--is identified and discussed. Children gather into age groups led by a Delaware Hospice counselor, and an adult “Camp Buddy” trained volunteer is assigned to every child. Each day, Camp New Hope features individual and group projects focused directly on their loss and their emotions. Each bereavement activity is then balanced by a traditional camp activity which helps the campers have fun and release energy, such as water games and sports. Camp New Hope offers these special children the opportunity to be with peers who know what they’re going through and with whom they can speak freely, as everyone is in the same situation. Guest speakers, including a nurse, chaplain, and funeral director, visit Camp to talk with the campers and encourage them to ask questions. Children learn coping skills, how to grieve in a positive way. They learn to let go of the guilt that may be affecting their emotions, to channel their anger into healthy ways, and to share their story about their loss, which is critical for the healing process. The magic transformation that campers undergo is most evident the final day of camp when a Memorial Service is held to honor the loved ones. The campers’ families, Delaware Hospice staff and volunteers are present at the service to show their support. Each camper stands up, shares his or her story and memories and their memorial project, which they created for their loved one. After the service, a memorial tree is planted in remembrance of their loss. Camp New Hope is made possible through fundraising efforts in the community, donations of materials and food, and the incredible commitment of volunteers— some of whom take vacation time from their jobs to attend Camp. Delaware Hospice appreciates the generosity of two fundraising events held last year for New Hope - the Bear Trap Dunes Holiday Home Tour and Golf Tournament, held in Dec. 2006, and the American Legion Post #28 Women’s Auxiliary Variety Show held in Feb. 2007. Camp New Hope in Kent and Sussex Counties was supported by sponsors Nathan Bunting, Bridgeville United Methodist Church, Dominos Pizza of Bridgeville, Jimmy’s Grille of Bridgeville, Lowes of Lewes, Open Heart Studios of Rehoboth, Pasqualini’s Bakery of Rehoboth, All Seasons Garden of Dover, Subway of Georgetown, Stan and Laurie Vonasek, and Wawa of South Dover. To learn more about New Hope, call 1800-838-9800 or visit www.delawarehospice.org.

Campers gather supplies to decorate their memory boxes.

Camp New Hope volunteers Bobbie Macy from Camden, Marian Van Den Meydenberg from Laurel, and Nancy Toler from Ocean View prepared food each day for 20 hungry campers. Ooops! We forgot to hide the movie ticket in last week’s Star. We apologize for the error. The good news is you found the one in this issue.

July 4th celebration is the news of the week I’m worried. I am just getting too predictable, as I have chosen July 4th event in Laurel to start out my column this week. This is despite serious thoughts about the passing of Richard Giles, a chance to take a swipe at “Brother” Frank Calio after his re-entry back into the world of politics, and so much more, including my sad realization that I will not get my annual call from Florida from Yankee fan Howard McCrea this year. This breaks me up tremendously — Howard, it will be so great not to hear from you.

MAKING SENSE OF INVESTING

What’s going on business wise in Laurel? The Laurel Auction Block opens Tuesday morning . The former Food Rite store is soon to be occupied by a furniture store, as I reported last week. And one of the most asked questions is, When is O’Neal Brothers moving to their new location? According to Mike Murphy, co-owner, that could happen by the first of next year. Paperwork delays with drug store mergers have held things up, but maybe this answers an often-asked question.

The parade was dedicated to the late Gerald Brown, a fireman, friend and longtime organizer of the parade. Fittingly, the Blades Fire Department won the Gerald W. Brown Trophy for Fire Departments.

What great weather for the parade on July 3 and also for the 4th event. According to Janet Lee, and she has great memory for these things, this was the best weather since 1996, the first year of the event. People liked the evening parade but wished it had started one hour later. I will say that just about every one of the 84 entries in the parade was decorated for the occasion with a lot of preparation before. It made for a nice parade. My favorite entry, however, has to be that of Buddy Ward, John Higgins and Nelson Justice, who followed the horses in the parade. All three

are well qualified and should have received the Best Fertilizer award. Seriously, though, Laurel Saddle Friends went all out. The club had 24 riders and 22 others in their entry in the parade. The parade was dedicated to the late Gerald Brown, a fireman, friend and longtime organizer of the parade. Fittingly, the Blades Fire Department won the Gerald W. Brown Trophy for Fire Departments. As for the event itself on July 4th, it was all about food, food and more food. Delmar mayor John Outten won the annual seed-spitting contest. We have been worrying about Bridgeville Council President Joe Conaway, but now the worry has to shift to our neighbor to the south, Delmar, with two wins. I do think the wind was blowing in on Laurel mayor John Shwed when he launched his seed. Vance Phillips does a great job with his event and the mayors carry their enthusiasm over to the Riverfest and to Apple Scrap-

Laurel and Delaware State graduate Shawn Phillips is pitching for the Windy City Illinois Thunderbolts in the Frontier League. Shawn is apparently over his arm troubles as it has been told he is reaching 90 miles per hour on his fastball, splitter again. Shawn is determined to give it one more shot in professional baseball. As of June 27 he was 3-1 for the first place 26-7 Thunderbolts. Shawn, we are rooting for you. After watching some of the Major’s games on television, as pitcher after pitcher struggles to throw the ball over the plate, I am drawn to Shawn’s statistic of two walks in 40 innings. Wow! Update on Shawn in Sports, page 45. The July issue of Delaware Today has an in-depth article on growth in Laurel. It is called “No Resting in their Laurel.” It tells the upper Delawareans of how progress is being made in lower slower Delaware.

will be able to call us slower much longer even if they want to. State Auditor Tom Wagner was in the 4th of July parade throwing out candy from the back of his convertible and missed his throw several times. “Looks like the Philadelphia Phillies bullpen,” he cackled. Well Tom, that could cost you, as Phillies’ fans were listening. Laurel lost someone last week who made a difference. Richard Allen Giles, the first male black graduate of Laurel High School in 1965, passed away after a long struggle with diabetes and related health problems. I only met Richard a few times, but I knew I liked him instantly. His humbleness, open conversation and thoughts about life impressed me greatly, and of course I did a story on him some time ago. It is ironic to me that as I was thinking about Richard the other evening there was a baseball book, with Jackie Robinson on the cover, lying by my chair. Richard was a great athlete but he was so much more. He was Laurel’s Jackie Robinson. Classmate Don Phillips (and I can’t remember his exact words as it has been some time ago) told me that Richard fit in perfectly as he was so friendly and easy to get along with. In short, he was the right person to make a much needed transition easier for everyone. Richard was also a Vietnam veteran, but his toughest battle proved to be diabetes, losing a leg and enduring many sick days in the last few years. Throughout, his attitude toward life remained strong. He was a member of New Zion United Methodist Church, becoming very involved a couple of years ago. There is one thing Richard told me that I did not use in the story. Richard said he cannot understand why many of our churches were still segregated. The one place Richard felt that all life’s problems are to be lifted away. Richard may not have heard it or even realized it, but he did it — he made a difference! Have a great, fun week, everyone. I’ve already had mine — I saw Frank Calio and Dick Whaley both at the flea market Sunday morning.

The program we are presenting this year is light-hearted and entertaining. The Orchestra was so warmly welcomed by the Lewes audience last summer we are all looking forward to coming back again. It's a wonderful opportunity for the Orchestra to connect with its southern

Delaware audience.” According to Delaware Symphony Orchestra Executive Director Lucinda Williams, “It's so important that the Delaware Symphony Orchestra serves all of Delaware. As the new executive director here at the DSO, I'm extremely appreciative of the existing partnership we have with the Lewes Historical Society and PNC that enables us to bring the Orchestra to Lewes. It's my goal to build upon the success of our Lewes summer performances and look for new ways to do more with the Orchestra in southern Delaware.” The concert will begin at 7 p.m. and will feature a maritime theme. The Symphony, under Music Director David Amado will tentatively feature

such favorites as “Anchors Away,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Sea Hawk,” “Victory at Sea,” a Sousa Suite: “Hands across the Sea,” “President Garfield's inaugural March,” “Anchor” and “Star”, “Who's Who in Navy Blue,” “Semper Fidelis,” Tchaikovsky's “1812 Overture” and Sousa's “Stars and Stripes.” Tickets are $35 for reserve seating and $25 for general admission.

A day of rememberance By Hattie Tull On June 3 St. George's United Methodist Church, Laurel, presented a program during worship service to honor and recognize the 15 Delaware Military Casualties since the Iraqi war started. Last year there were 13 men. Two more were added this year one man and one woman. The Choral opened the program with a song, "Statue of Liberty," while candles were lit. Pastor Barbara Auer greeted the congregation and led us in prayer, from the Military Service Book of Prayer. Guest singers were Daren and Brett Jones of the "Jones Boys" group. They sang "This Land is Your Land." Two Color Guards Navy veterans, David Church and Chuck Auer, posted the flags followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. Another guest from the past, another war, another time, was Abe Lincoln (Steve Wroten). Abe said a few words on the importance of prayer for our country. The program was supposed to be held outdoors for the next part, but it rained , so plan B had to be put in place for inside. Fifteen white crosses were made by church members, Harry Foxwell and wife Ginny and 15 gold stars made by Marion Tull. The display was set up across the altar rail inside the sanctuary. All 15 crosses across the front represent the 15 casualties.

While the Power Point screen showed Patriotic scenes and the pictures and information of each soldier, Hattie Tull (director) presented honor and recognition. As the names of each soldier was called, a line of the youth of our Sunday School was formed up the aisle to hold two flags at each end while the other students placed a gold star on each cross to show our honor and remembrance of these brave men and women. This was a tearful moment at this point. Everyone stood and sang the National Anthem. Abe Lincoln took the stand and quoted from his actual words, "A house divided against itself cannot stand," then he presented his Gettysburg Address. The Jones Boys did a medley of patriotic songs and a Brooke & Dunn song, "Believe." Readings were presented by Pastor Barbara on "Courage" and Hattie Tull read "When God Intervenes." The Finale was special music by the Jones Boys, "God Bless the U.S.A." with people standing and singing. After Benediction everyone joined hands in a circle around the room and said the "Lord's Prayer." Followed with the sounding of "Taps." Every year we have done a program to honor our fatalities in Delaware and to remember all the others that have fallen in this war. America, we can't do it alone, not without God's help - with prayer

Abe Lincoln (Steve Wroten) stands with Hattie Tull.

Maude returns to make Calio’s life more interesting I knew as soon as my first column hit the mail boxes I would reRANK ALIO ceive a phone call from my friend Maude. Sure enough Thursday Seventy percent of morning she called. Americans polled said “Calio, there you go again,” Maude screamed over the phone. Libby shouldn’t walk: “Gosh Maude, I haven’t heard ‘Did the president listen that saying since Ronald Reagan debated President Jimmy Carter,” I to the electorate?’ I replied. asked Maude.

In case Maude had forgotten I reminded her that when the investigation into the White House leak risking the life of a CIA agent, Bush said if a person in his administration leaked the story they should be fired. Libby was not fired. Bush even went over the head of a Republican U.S. District Court judge, one of his own appointees, just hours after a federal appeals panel ruled Libby couldn’t delay his trip to prison. Libby’s price for his crime? A fine of $250,000, money probably raised by the same rich lords who paid for his expensive defense. Seventy percent of Americans polled said Libby shouldn’t walk: “Did the president listen to the electorate?” I asked Maude. “Well, I don’t know all about that stuff,

but he is keeping the terrorists out of this country by keeping them in Iraq,” she answered. “They’re nuts in Iraq, Maude. Anyone who would blow themselves up is just plaint nuts. Terrorists are all over the world. Two hundred just graduated from a suicide school; it doesn’t take a brain to graduate from there. You’ll never be rid of terrorists,” I desperately tried to explain. “Well, the president says that’s where they are,” she answered. “Did you read all of my column Maude?” I asked. “No, not really,” she replied. “If you had, Maude, you would have noted the column was not about Bush but about being an American. You’re typical of a lot of readers, reading only what you want to see.” “Maude,” I continued, “I bet you watch Bill O’Riley of FOX News along with Ann Coulter and you listen to Rush Limbaugh, and I bet you believe that when Robert Murdoch, who owns Fox News, purchases the Wall Street Journal, he will publish the news fairly, don’t you?” “Why, yes, how did you know?” she asked? “Just a wild guess, Maude. I have a bridge I want to sell you. See you later.” And I hung up the phone. Retirement has to have better days than today I hoped.

Surprise party thrown for retiring election commissioner Calio More than 100 friends and relatives attended a surprise retirement party for Frank B. Calio last week who recently retired after 5 1/2 years as State Election Commissioner. Calio said he thought he was going to a house warming party to celebrate the remodeled home of his youngest daughter

Carolyn pins "Retired" button on her husband.

and son-in-law. In addition to the many cards and gifts from well wishers, Tributes were presented to the former Commissioner from Governor and Lt. Governor Ruth Ann Minner, and from the Delaware House of Representatives recognizing his 18 years of service to the State of Delaware.

A letter from U.S. Senator Thomas Carper was also presented to Calio. Calio's first political appointment was as chief reading clerk for the Delaware House of Representatives in 1962, then as administrative assistant to the Secretary of Public Safety in the mid '70's, and recently as Elections Commissioner.

He also served 11 years as Director of Economic Development for Sussex County County. Calio says he has no plans for his retirement only to write his weekly column for the STAR, and to enjoy his family and maybe do some traveling.

Kathy Wootten reads Tribute to Calio from Gov. Ruth Ann Minner and Lt. Gov. John Carney for his years of public service.

Police Journal Delaware State Police shares results of Checkpoint Strikeforce Delaware Law enforcement officers arrested 23 individuals for Driving Under the Influence (DUI) of alcohol during week two of the 2007 “Checkpoint Strikeforce” campaign. This brings the total number of people arrested in the first two weeks of the initiative to 55. A total of four sobriety checkpoints were conducted last weekend. Participating agencies included Delaware State Police Troop 1, the New Castle County DUI Task Force and the newly combined Kent/Sussex County DUI Task Force which conducted two checkpoints last weekend. In addition to the 23 DUI arrests, officers issued two citations for underage drinking violations, apprehended eight wanted individuals, made two drug arrests, five felony arrests, seized one weapon, and issued 23 seat belt and eight child restraint citations as well as 111 citations for various other traffic violations. "Checkpoint Strikeforce" is a multistate crackdown on impaired drivers coordinated locally by the Delaware Office of Highway Safety. Participating law enforcement agencies are conducting weekly DUI checkpoints between the 4th of July and New Year's Eve, and monthly checkpoints in the spring, all with the goal of deterring impaired drivers and arresting DUI offenders. Traffic deaths kill and injure Delawareans nearly twice as often as violent crimes.

State Police recover thousands in stolen property and arrest two On Tuesday, July 3, Delaware State Police detectives assigned to the Property Crimes Unit at Troop 4 concluded a threeweek investigation that resulted in the arrest of two men who allegedly stole and damaged construction equipment owned by several local businesses located on DuPont Blvd. (US 113) near Georgetown. Between June 9 - 11, state troopers investigated a series of thefts from businesses located along US 113 south of Georgetown. During one of the investigations, police located a witness who observed two suspects fleeing from Atlantic Tractor located at the 24000 block of Mariner Circle south of Georgetown. The suspects fled in a white Lincoln Navigator after attempting to steal the following pieces of equipment: 4120 tractor 4 wheel drive valued at $30,000 (damage $63.96); 5525 tractor valued at $12,000 (damage $243); TS Gator valued at $15,000 (damage $36.89); LAI tractor valued at $8,000 (damage $77.60); 2305 tractor valued at $16,000 (damage $377.79); 797 tractor valued at $6,300 (damage $50.19); 997 tractor valued at $7,000 (damage $124.39). Through their investigation, detectives learned that one of the suspects, Darren T. Walp, 27, of New Castle operates a Lincoln Navigator matching the description provided by the witness.

Matthew D. Bush, 28, of Bear was also determined to be a suspect. Detectives were able to link Walp and Bush to thefts of heavy equipment from Don's Hydraulics, Inc., Collins Welding, Inc., and David Lee Banks Inc. totaling approximately $58,500. At the conclusion of this investigation, detectives recovered approximately $51,000 in stolen equipment and arrested the following charges Matthew Bush was arrested and released on $75,000 unsecured bail. Charges include five counts of theft of a motor vehicle Class G felony; one count of theft greater than $1,000 Class G felony; seven counts of attempted theft of a motor vehicle; three counts of conspiracy 2nd degree Class G felony; and nine counts of criminal mischief under $1,000. Darren Walp was arrested and committed to the Sussex Correctional Institution on $25,000 secured bail. His charges include five counts of theft of a motor vehicle Class G felony; one count of theft greater than $1,000 Class G felony; seven counts of attempted theft of a motor vehicle; three counts of conspiracy 2nd degree Class G felony; and nine counts of criminal mischief under $1,000.

Most wanted sex offender apprehended in San Antonio The San Antonio Police Department have apprehended Andrew Hritz, IV, 22, of Laurel after receiving information from the Delaware State Police that Hritz was believed to be in the area. Hritz is a tier three (high-risk) sex offender and was listed as a top ten wanted offender for failing to re-register as a sex offender. Hritz was successfully apprehended on Tuesday, July 3. In addition to being wanted for failure to re-register as a sex offender, Hritz is wanted by Troop 4 Property Crimes detectives for burglary, theft and conspiracy. These charges were filed during a December 2006 residential burglary investigation. Hritz is currently being held at the Bexar County, Texas jail without bond, and has waived extradition. Anyone with information regarding wanted individuals is urged to call 911 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333.

Maryland man apprehended during daytime burglary On Monday, July 9, at approximately 2:50 p.m. State Troopers from Troop 3 were dispatched to the 8600 block of S. DuPont Hwy. near Viola to investigate an alleged daytime burglary that led to the arrest of a 38-year old Parsonsburg, Md. man. Upon arrival, investigators observed a man later identified as Kenneth Lee Peek, 38, of Parsonsburg departing from the rear of a residence holding several clothing items. Peek was advised to stop and drop the clothes. Initially, Peek did as ordered however, as officers approached him, he attempted to run away but was eventually apprehended and secured. He was escorted back to the residence where he was se-

cured in a patrol vehicle. A check of the residence by police revealed a safe, old silver coins, and numerous items of clothing removed from the residence. The safe had been forced open. During the course of the investigation, it was determined that Peek drove a 1988 Chevrolet Blazer with a Maryland registration to the residence. This vehicle was determined to have been stolen out of Parsonsburg. That theft was handled by the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Department. An inventory search of the vehicle revealed numerous mechanical tools that were also determined to have been stolen during a burglary in Maryland. Peek was later arrested on the following charges and committed to the Delaware Correctional Institution on $16,000 cash bail - burglary 2nd degree Class D felony; felony theft Class F felony; two counts of receiving stolen property Class G felony; criminal mischief misdemeanor; and resisting arrest Class A misdemeanor.

Single vehicle crash east of Millsboro claims life of driver On Monday, July 9 at 11 a.m. State Troopers from Troop 4 and members of the Delaware State Police Collision Reconstruction Unit (CRU) responded to SR 24 (John J. Williams Hwy.) east of Millsboro to investigate a single vehicle crash that claimed the life of a Millsboro man. Upon arrival at the scene, investigators learned a 2004 Ford Ranger truck operated by Colbert Strand, 42, of Millsboro was traveling westbound on SR 24 near the Mountaire poultry plant. For an unknown reason, the truck exited the north edge of the road and struck two separate utility poles. Strand, who was wearing a seatbelt, was flown to Peninsula Regional Medical Center. Strand later died as a result of injuries sustained in the crash. Alcohol is not believed to be a factor in this crash. The crash remains under investigation.

control how fast you’re driving, whether or not you roll through a stop sign instead of making a complete stop, or how close you drive to other people. The reality is that these are all examples of aggressive driving, and aggressive driving kills. For those who choose not to obey traffic laws, we’ll have stepped up enforcement in place for the next five moths in hopes of preventing more deadly crashes.” The following is a breakdown of the number of violations found during the first week of aggressive driving enforcement: nine aggressive driving, 196 speeding, 26 unsafe lane changes, 12 following too closely, 18 running stop signs and stop lights, six passing on the shoulder, and one failure to yield the right-of-way. The “Stop Aggressive Driving” campaign will run through November. Six state and local police agencies with high crash locations in their jurisdictions that are statistically identified as being aggressive driving related, have been provided with federal grant funding to conduct overtime patrols. Some participating agencies will use two-man “Aggressive Driving Teams” as well as unconventional vehicles to catch violators. Anyone who sees an aggressive driver is encouraged to call 9 -1-1 as soon as it’s safe to do so, and provide the following information to dispatchers: make, model and color of the vehicle, direction of travel, and license plate information if possible. They should not continue to follow the aggressive driver, but let the police take it from there. For more information on aggressive driving, visit the Office of Highway Safety website at www.ohs.delaware.gov.

268 cited for aggressive driving during first week of campaign In the first week of a statewide enforcement and awareness initiative to “Stop Aggressive Driving,” Delaware law enforcement officers have issued 268 citations for aggressive driving behaviors and another 108 to unlicensed, unbelted, and uninsured motorists for a total of 376 citations. Office of Highway Safety officials launched phase two of the 2007 “Stop Aggressive Driving” campaign last week. Phase one was conducted in February and March. Aggressive driving behaviors are primary factors in 64% (36) of Delaware’s 56 fatal crashes. That figure represents an 8% increase in aggressive driving related fatal crashes compared to the same time frame in 2006. “The ability to stop aggressive driving is in every driver’s hands,” said Andrea Summers, community relations officer for the Office of Highway Safety. “You can

Sussex West Patriots drop doubleheader, split week The Post 6 Sussex West Patriots (7-8) dropped both ends of a doubleheader to Post 1 last Saturday afternoon, 7-2 and 10-5. In the first game, Matt Dodson struck out seven in the 7-2 loss while Jordan Johnson went 2-for-3 with a triple, a run, and an RBI; Steve Sharff had a hit and a run; and Matt Parker and Eric Sharff each had two hits. In the second game, Dodson went 2for-3 with two runs; Johnson and Dustin Richards each had two hits; Parker was 1for-2 wit a run; Matt Terry batted 1-for-3 with a run; and Steve Sharff added a hit and two RBIs. Last Tuesday, the Patriots pounded out five runs in the bottom of the first to give pitcher Lance Kelley [1-1] his first win, and take the second game of the season from the Post 28 Sussex East Warriors, 84. The Warriors got on the board first after an error allowed leadoff batter C.J. Bell to reach first, then score on Bryan Lynch’s first hit of the day. Lynch was later thrown out attempting to take second, ending the inning after the first of West’s double plays on the day. The Pats got the bats going in the bottom of the inning with a leadoff single from Garrett Eskridge, and doubles from Dodson and Terry. Sussex West came back in the bottom of the second with three more runs on a walk, followed by back to back singles by Jeff Taylor and Dodson. Trent Passwaters singled home Dodson to end the scoring. East threatened in the third, and again in the 5th, but the Pats got timely play from their defense, including a Matt Parker [left field] to Steve Sharff [third base] to Jordan Johnson [catcher] double play after a long fly ball appeared to drive in a run in the second.

Dodson, Terry and Passwaters all doubled and had two RBIs for the Patriots. Kelley got a complete game win, striking out two and allowing only one earned run. The Patriots scored three runs in the top of the third and never trailed the Milford Red Sox in American Legion action last Thursday night. The Pats first scored after Kory Hearn walked, and Eskridge singled to right. Taylor then singled to center, scoring Hearn from second and moving Eskridge to second. The Patriots then tried a double steal, and the third baseman missed the catch, scoring Eskridge on the error. Passwaters slapped the ball at the Milford shortstop who got the out at first, but Taylor scored easily from second (3-0). Milford threatened in the bottom of the fourth, loading the bases with two outs, but pitcher Steve Sharff got one of his seven strikeouts to end the inning. Milford almost loaded the bases again in the fifth, and got one run in on a Jordan Elliott RBI single but Sharff got Denton Mow to pop up to the box to end that threat. Milford had one more chance in the bottom of the seventh, with two out and Matt Faulkner on third, Sharff got Elliot to swing at strike three to end the game. Sharff [3-0] struck out seven in the win. Eskridge went 1-for-3 with a run; Taylor batted 1-for-3 with a run and an RBI; Passwaters was 1-for-3 with an RBI; Eric Sharff also hit 1-for-3; and Hearn scored one run.

Letters Time for a change in Congress

First of all, I want to thank this paper for being, in my opinion, fair and balanced. I know that’s a phrase that is thrown around quite a bit anymore, including by one cable news network that claims it to be so in their case, when actually all they can talk about is Paris Hilton and other so called celebrities that don’t amount to a hill of beans. I would like to state first of all, I am a conservative and I love reading conservative viewpoints or listening to conservatives on talk radio, but I also have brains enough to think on my own two feet about what I feel is right or wrong. A few weeks ago I wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper in a town about 17 miles south of Laurel and expressed my anger at both major political parties in this country and the damage they both have inflicted upon our nation; however, when it was printed on the editorial page it was so altered and edited to make it look as though I was blaming the Republicans for our entire myriad of troubles we are facing today as a people. After reading Mr. Calio’s column in the July 5 issue of this paper, I believe he is guilty of wanting us to believe that all the evils of the world lie on the backs of Republicans. He said that for the past seven years President Bush has been creating a fear of attacks

as a diversion while he pushes his war agenda and dividing us on all sorts of social issues. Hello, Mr. Calio, in case you haven’t noticed we have a bunch of extremists who think they have a mandate from Allah to wipe out all infidels which you and I are part of. As for being divided on social issues we have always been that way until we’ve had the flames fanned by special interest groups who have close ties with the national media to make it into more than what it really is. Red states? Blue states? Another media phenomenon. As a Bible-believing Christian I don’t serve an “awesome” God, either. I serve the “Lord of lords” and “the King of kings” and I didn’t know I was in a popularity contest. As a Republican, if they don’t get their act together and stop trying to be all things to all people (as the Democrats have been doing for years) my affiliation with them will be past history pretty soon. Mr. Calio, there is room for blame to go around to many, but until you recognize this you will be like most Americans. You’ll keep voting the same old crowd back to Washington year after year and trying to blame one particular group for all of the troubles. We need a revolution in this country in the electoral sense to bring about change. That

means voting everybody out of office and replacing them with fresh faces. After all, we change a baby’s diaper when it begins to smell, don’t we? Congress stinks and we need to change it. Larry Calhoun

Laurel 4th well planned

Congrats to Laurel’s Chamber of Commerce and other involved parties for a super Fourth of July extravaganza. Rescheduling the parade to the evening of July 3 was a very sound decision. Locating the vendors, breakfast, and entertainment in the Janosik Park-Laureltowne area allowed traffic to flow smoothly on the major local roads. The landscaping along Broadcreek was beautiful. The Funsters and the seed-spitting contest were particular highlights. The enlarged carnival appeared to be more popular and profitable. Hopefully this successful format will be adopted for future Fourths. Jim Waddel

Laurel doesn’t need liquor store

If you are against the new liquor store opening in the town of Laurel next to Shore Stop on Central Avenue, attend a public hearing on Thursday, July 19, at the Sussex

County Council Chambers, Administrative Building, The Circle, Georgetown, at 5 p.m. This hearing is being held by the Office of Alcoholic Beverage Control Commissioner. We do not need another liquor store in Laurel, especially in this location with the Boys & Girls Club right across the street and in a residential section where families take their children on walks to Shore Stop. Middle school and high school children walk by the proposed location on their way to and from school. We already have five liquor stores in the little town of Laurel; we do not need a sixth one. Letters notifying residents of a potential liquor store do not have to be sent by certified mail any more. This needs to be changed since there were more than six people who should have received notification of this store and did not. These letters were supposedly sent to persons residing within 200 feet of the new establishment. I believe one letter could get lost but not six. Anyone can go to this hearing, not just residents owning property within 200 feet. Please plan to attend this hearing to offer your reasons why you do not think Laurel Liquors Inc. on Central Avenue next to Shore Stop should open. We need all of the support we can get. Thank you. Sandy Russell,

Laurel

Do you remember running boards, local trains, plain tennis shoes? I thought Pat Murphy’s recent article on the three great dames reminiscing about olden times was quite interesting. It brought back memories of a book I did called “Tales of Delaware.” Below is an excerpt from that book called “Evocations”: Do you remember when: “Made in Japan” really was a joke? Cars had running boards? Right after World War II when “box cakes” were produced by Pillsbury, General Mills, etc. and the big complaints about them were that they were too dry? Feed companies experimented with flowered prints on their bags and women used this material to make dresses? Local trains ran day and night? Popcorn at the movies was not prepopped and was done right there on the spot and they used real butter? Sodas were sold in bottles and submerged in a real cooler with ice and water? Chocolate zips and cherry smashes were sold over the counter in the drugstore and real sodas with ice cream and fizz, or CocaCola in a glass, small or large? You needed a church key? Designer jeans were denims and sold for about $5? Grass meant stuff grown on the lawns? Sneaks were just plain tennis shoes? Movie theaters treated neighborhood kids with a matinee of 15 back-to-back cartoons of Bugs Bunny, Donald Duck, Pluto, etc? Railroad crossing signs were crosses? Fountain pens filled from an ink bottle? Pro baseball stars played for next to nothing but the thrill of hitting the winning home run? The mention of opium was restricted to talk about the Orient?

GUEST COLUMN BY ROGER MARTIN Grilled cheese sandwiches were a hit with a new kind of kitchen toaster? We had real feather beds for cold winter’s nights? Chamber pots under the bed had to be emptied the next day? Outside pumps had to be primed for water? All stores were closed on Sunday, even the drugstore? Little children wore snow suits with leggings? Knickers for boys with stockings had to be held up with garters? The teenager “in the family way” in high school who didn’t return in September and word later came out that she had gone to live with her aunt in another state? Balloons over Woolworth’s lunch counter held little pieces of paper, one of which would get you a banana split for 39 cents? After taking several chances you wondered if there were any 39 cents ones at all. The first time you ever tasted a glazed doughnut made from the new bakery in town? Those big fat erasers little kids used to have in elementary school? Shepherd’s pie in the school cafeteria? How grownup you felt when you walked uptown by yourself? You had to run an errand for your mother and you had to pass right by a house where there was a big mean dog? You really began to have doubts as to how those presents got under the Christmas tree

next morning when you came downstairs? An old uncle who was crabby and you really never knew what to do or say when you were around him? You asked your mother or father for something, and they told you to go see what the other said, or they simply said: “We’ll see”? Your parents told you: “You wait when you have children and you’ll see what I’m telling you is right”? Milk came in bottles? You got your first bike? You could tell time without anyone’s help? You had to pay for the gasoline in your own car for the first time and it wasn’t on a credit card even though $5 would fill up the tank? You went out on a date and your mother said: “Be careful!” and you wondered what she really meant? Coal had to be brought into the house with a hod from a bin? In the heat of the summer, you tossed and turned all night long without a fan or air conditioning? In the cold of winter, all the rooms in the house were shut off except the one where the stove was and when it came bedtime you had to go upstairs through those cold rooms and get in bed between those cold sheets? Coming home from school and your mother had the Maytag wringer washing machine going with two tubs set up - one for soapy water and the other for rinsing and clothes strung up all over the house? Bread wasn’t sliced during the war? Looking into the refrigerator for that leftover treat from last night you had been thinking about all day and found that one of your siblings had already eaten it? Being home alone for the first time and

you heard every sound in the house? Redeeming defense stamps at the corner grocer for candy? Aluminum drives for the war (World War II) effort? Being at somebody’s house and realizing the food tasted funny and you discovered other people didn’t eat the same food your Mom cooked? Coca-Cola in a glass, small or large? Those neatly dressed and friendly service station attendants with black bow ties on TV that you could never find in real life? A hamburger with all the fixings on a grill that wasn’t fast food? Standing in front of a candy counter with 10 cents and choosing one of these, one of them, and some of those? Seeing a picture of yourself from long ago and wondering why you wore such clothes or had your hair fixed like that? How little money was needed to fill up one bag of groceries? Kids at school needing 50 cents next day instead of $1.50? The first time you wore formal clothing? Answering your friends next day about what you did on that date the night before with that gorgeous person? The death of a close relative or friend and being told it was “the Lord’s will”? You stayed up late Friday night, and it didn’t bother you next day? You learned for the first time what Dad really meant when he said: “Make sure you have enough gas in the car”? The softness of your grandmother’s cheek? The pure pleasure of watching the sun set with all those colors in the sky as night caressed the earth, and you stayed there until the mosquitoes came out?

Miss Delaware 2007 Brittany Dempsey received an additional $1,000 scholarship. American College, which will accept its charter class in September 2007, is a small, private, coeducational college in Delaware. Established in Dublin in 1993, American College is a unique educational institution and an international school with campuses on two continents. “Through the generosity of sponsors such as American College, the Miss Delaware Pageant can continue the proud tradition started in 1921 of empowering young women to be the best they can be,” said Sue Kuhling, executive director of the Miss Delaware Pageant.

Teachers to use local author’s book in lessons

Instructor Jim Crescenzo helps Justin Johnson, from Laurel, and his grandson Zachary Crescenzo during the Make It! camp at Delaware Technical & Community College. The camp ran from June 25-28 at the Owens Campus in Georgetown.

Two Sussex County Christian school educators recently announced plans to include “Gavin Goodfellow: The Lure of Burnt Swamp” in their eighth-grade language arts curriculum. Written by Georgetown independent publisher Candy Abbott, the contemporary Christian fantasy is about a 12-year-old dyslexic boy who unwittingly encounters dark forces in the fictional town of Ashboro. Called to make personal choices which require him to overcome his own character flaws, Gavin’s decisions will determine the fate of everyone in his hometown and beyond. When Lucy Dutton, educational director at Milton-based Eagle’s Nest Christian Academy, received the book, she immediately placed it in the hands of her eighthgrade teacher to read to the class at the end of the school year. “I was surprised by how eagerly she responded,” Abbott says. “Mrs. Dutton told me that there is a real need for books like ‘Gavin’ in the Christian market.” Ivy Ulrich-Bonk, principal of Epworth Christian School, Laurel, recently approved the book’s inclusion in the school’s eighth-grade language arts curriculum. Teachers plan to incorporate it this fall. Melanie Theofiles, Epworth’s middle school integrated language arts instructor, says she is thrilled to be using Gavin Goodfellow as her students’ read-aloud novel. “Each student will experience the opportunity to respond orally and in writing

to such literary elements as characterization, plot development, and sensory detail,” Theofiles says. “In addition, as part of the Servant Leadership Academy, it is our goal to equip students with strategies and tools for defending their faith. Gavin will challenge students to seek God as they explore biblical truths. As Gavin outfits himself with God’s armor, he will demonstrate for them how cool it is to be a warrior in the Lord’s mighty army.” More than 400 copies of “Gavin Goodfellow: The Lure of Burnt Swamp” are in circulation since its delivery on May 1. Abbott’s first run included 1500 soft covers and 500 hard covers. “We’re elated by the response from the educational community,” Abbott says, “and are gearing up for a second print run in the fall to keep ahead of demand.” This is Abbott’s second full-length book and first young adult novel. She has been published in numerous “Chicken Soup for the Soul” anthologies and was recognized as Greater Philadelphia Christian Writer of the Year in 2003. Abbott cofounded Delmarva Christian Writers’ Fellowship; she and her husband Drew own Fruitbearer Publishing which has produced books for local authors Johnny Janosik, Bishop Catherine Camper, Tom & Laura Lagana, Yvonne Alexander, and more. “Gavin Goodfellow: The Lure of Burnt Swamp” is available through local bookstores and online.

Sussex Tech earns accreditation Sussex Technical High School has received accreditation through Middle States Association Commission on Secondary Schools. The school earned accreditation following a three-year process, culminating with a three and one-half day visit to the school by a team of educators appointed by Middle States. During the visit, the Middle States

team interviewed teachers, students, parents and administrators, as well as representatives of the Board of Education. Team members toured the facilities, studied the district’s strategic plan for improvement and other documents related to the school’s work, and observed teaching and learning in classrooms.

Budding engineers spent four days on the Owens Campus of Delaware Technical & Community College, Georgetown, recently in the school’s annual Make It! camp, a popular component of the “Kid’s on Campus” program. From June 25-28, campers had the chance to learn about electronics and manufacturing in this fun-filled, hands-on camp. “I thought this was a really good camp and I really learned a lot this week,” said participant Halie Murray-Davis, a 13-yearold student at Worcester Preparatory School in Berlin, Md. “I really liked learning to solder and putting all the things on the circuit board.” As part of the program, participants got to visit several local businesses, including Intervet in Millsboro, PATS Aircraft in Georgetown and ILC Dover. “I think the camp went really well. From the reaction of the kids all week long, they seemed to be engaged, they seemed to be interested and they really looked like they were having a good time,” said instructor Ron Sitze, who also teaches at the Owens Campus. “This gave the kids a lot of real-world experience because they had some hands-on projects where they actually got to use the manufacturing equipment.” The camp wrapped up with a gathering where campers had the chance to display, for family members, some of the things they made throughout the week, including sound-activated cars and metal tops. “I think this camp gave the kids a sense of some of the careers that may be available to them as they move into high school,” Sitze said. The Make It! camp was co-sponsored

Old Christ Church is an D o i n g t h e T o w n s T o g e t h e r area gem worth visiting LAUREL AND DELMAR SOCIALS SARAH MARIE TRIVITS • 875-3672

Henry H. Hutchinson was a unique man who lived in Bethel for many years. “Mr. Hutch,” or “Hutch,” as he was called by close friends, was an engineer with DuPont Company nylon plant in Seaford. A tall, slender man, his very size was imposing. I first met Mr. Hutchinson when I was a young secretary at the plant, in 1949, and he was in charge of our department. None of the young clerical workers, nor most of the employees, would have thought of calling this brilliant, very kind man anything other than Mr. Hutchinson. We soon learned that his total life was not the DuPont Company. His first love was Old Christ Church, just outside Laurel near Chipman’s Pond. He and his sister, Helen, gave hours of their time and love to this landmark of history. In fact, in 1971, the Archeolog, a publication of the Sussex Society of Archeology and History of Delaware, was totally dedicated to an article on Old Christ Church, written by Mr. Hutch. This Sussex landmark was built in 1771 as a “chapel of ease.” The original building, still in good condition, has been repaired but never altered from its original design. The church has huge hand-hewn beams, broad, pine-board box-pews, and a hanging pulpit. Robert Huston, who lived in Broad Creek Hundred, was the builder of the church. At that time, the church was part of Worcester County, Md.; later the property would become a part of Delaware. According to the Archeolog, Old Christ Church can be considered directly or indirectly the “Mother Church” for the following congregations in Sussex County: 1808 - St. John’s, Little Hill (Greenville) 1834 - St. Luke’s, Seaford 1850 - St. Philip’s, Laurel 1857 - St. Mark’s, Little Creek Hundred 1880 - St. Andrew’s, Ellis Grove, later moved to St. Mark’s Little Creek in 1955 and used as a parish house 1900 - All Saints, Delmar Pew boxes at Old Christ Church were rented until the 20th century as a source of income, sometimes with the box-holders name and rental fee written on the door

with red crayon or chalk! Mr. Hutch was probably the most well versed man on Old Christ Church history. He and Miss Helen were so very unique and could spend hours and hours talking about this old church. Miss Helen was the only lady I ever knew who used a cigarette holder to smoke, and she did it with a definite elegance. She was quick to let anyone know that she was “not an old maid. I am a maiden lady.” And, no one would argue this point with her. At one time, the Old Christ Church League was a driving force in this community. St. Philip’s Episcopal Church, Laurel, with the Rev. Rita Nelson and members of the League, and the support of the vestry of St. Philip’s, are holding Sunday services each week this summer at Old Christ Church. A group of lay ministers from St. Philip’s conducts services each Sunday at 9:30 a.m. and will continue doing so until early fall. The doors are open to people from all faiths each week. Ned Fowler, the modern “Mr. Hutch,” has given hours and hours of his time to this beautiful old chapel of ease for many years. He and the people of St. Philip’s promise that one and all will be welcomed. Just as Mr. Hutch and Miss Helen, Old Christ Church is unique. The people of St. Philip’s encourage visitors to come out any Sunday. There is a special peace and calming feeling that comes to you as you sit in the old pews. The ghosts of those who built this beautiful church are there. The spirit of the present members is there. This church is truly a Sussex County gem.

Recent guests of Mark and Lora Hastings were Lora’s son, Luke Styres, his wife, Melissa, and two young daughters, Allyson and Kaela. They were visiting from Rienzi, Miss. Members of the Lunch Bunch, one of Laurel’s Red Hat groups, enjoyed a day in Ocean City on July 2 at Surf Casters followed by a culinary break at Harpoon Hanna’s. They will attend their monthly breakfast at the Dutch Inn on July 14. One birthday “girl” will celebrate this month, Faye Littleton. Matt Adams, en route home from Full Sail College in Florida, had a kinda mishap adventure on I-95. As he was traveling his vehicle threw a tire. Luckily, no accident or injuries ensued. However, his mom, Bettyann, had to take an unscheduled trip to South Carolina to bring him home to finish a short summer vacation. A picturesque wedding was performed on June 30 at historic Old Christ Church when Marion, daughter of Tom and Mona Wright, wed Eric Campbell. The nuptials were followed by a sit-down dinner reception at the Seaford Country Club. Many relatives and out-of-town guests (too many to list here) were present and I saw many whom I haven’t seen for several years. It was a great treat for me, too, and a truly beautiful celebration and reception. Recently it was an “on and off” vacation for Frank and Carolyn Calio as they spent time in Ocean City, returned home

briefly, then back to O.C. for a bit. At home again they attended a house warming party on Dorthy Road for Katrina and Frank Braham, which was really a ruse to have Frank C. attend and was a surprise retirement party for him, attended by 100plus guests — a double celebration which was observed by friends, relatives and coworkers for the pleasure and fellowship of all. Friends of the Laurel Library wish to thank everyone who took advantage of the July 4 book sale at the library. It was well attended and they want the patrons to know that all of the proceeds go toward the children’s programs. Matt Trivits celebrated a birthday on July 6 and in lieu of a party was hosted to two or three lunches at area restaurants by friends and family members - you might say that he ate his way through his 13th birthday. Happy belated, Matt. Happy July birthday wishes to: Laura Hudson on July 13; Martha Henderson, Barbara Elliott and Fred Kretschmann, July 14; Loren Fuller, Cora Selby and Jeanette Gordy, July 15; Rosalyn Crone and Betty Elliott, July 17; Louise Allen, July 18; and George Simon, July 19. Happy birthday wishes from Delmar friends to Sonny Porter (July 8), Mary Lee Pase and Jay Green (July 19), and Cassie Figgs (July 25). And a very special wish goes to Joe Elliott Jr., Flanders, N.J., for a birthday observed on July 10 and a hearty get well wish as he recuperates from recent surgery. We express our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Julia Ann Parsons Malone, Marguerite J. Austin, Mark Daniel Russell and Paul James Lewis. We continue with prayers for our servicemen everywhere and for friends who are ill: Donald Layton Sr., Martha Windsor, Steve Trivits, Richard Cordrey, Hattie Puckham, Jean Henry and Marie Adams. “There are no riches above a sound body, and no joy above the joy of the heart.” See you in the Stars.

The Joys of Homeownership By Marlene B. Elliott The joys of homeownership are many and for some families it means picking vegetables from the garden, tending to lawns and landscapes, and making home improvement projects. At USDA Rural Development, we have been helping individuals and families purchase affordable and safe homes since 1949. We do this with the support of non-profit organizations that provide home buyer education and counseling services that help prepare families for the largest single purchase they will ever make. Today, nearly 70 percent of Americans own their homes and the rate of minority homeownership has climbed to above 50 percent since 2001 when President George W. Bush took office. As the Bush Administration has demonstrated their commitment to an ownership society where the promise of America reaches all of our citizens, Rural Development has provided support in that effort through a variety of financial and technical assistance programs. Since 2001, Rural Development invested more than $76.8 billion to support homeownership of which $118 million was in rural Delaware and $475 million in rural Maryland. Homeownership comes with many rewards, not only is it a safe haven for your family and a home to your most valued treasures, it is an economic engine that builds prosperity and financial wealth for years to come. Equity in the home helps fuel our economy; when homeowners add landscaping and gardens and pursue home improvement projects, they are helping to increase jobs and boost demand for goods and services. Throughout the year we have the opportunity to reflect on how homeownership has enhanced our lives and contributed to the thriving communities we call home. To help make more of our citizens aware of Rural Development’s commitment to providing safe, affordable housing — last month we recognized: A group of five families who are working together to build each other’s homes under the guidance of Milford Housing Development Corporation and with the support of Rural Development’s self-help housing program. These are neighbors helping neighbors, brought together by a strong commitment to community; A family that once lived in deplorable living conditions and were supported by volunteers and their community to bring

Guest Column hope and a new life to the parcel they were living on. The family temporarily lived in a shelter while their previous home was demolished and their lot was improved. They now have their own home with the support of Rural Development’s single family housing direct loan program; And, a husband and wife who lost their mobile home in a fire and could not afford to rebuild without the support of Washington County Community Action Agency and Rural Development. After the fire, the only rental housing they could find would not allow them to take their pets. They returned to their property daily to care for their animals, even pulled a pop-up camper onto the lot on weekends, to continue landscaping and work on their land in hopes of someday being able to rebuild and once again live there. Rural Development’s housing programs finance new or improved housing for low to moderate income families and individuals who wish to live in rural areas or communities. The purpose of the programs is to provide financing with no down payment and at favorable rates and terms. Both direct and guaranteed homeownership loans are offered. Under the direct loan program, individuals or families receive a loan directly from Rural Development. Guaranteed loans are made by other lenders, such as banks or mortgage companies, and are guaranteed by our agency. In addition to helping with homeownership, we also have loans and grants available to help low-income families and the elderly make needed house repairs so that they can remain in their own home. For information about USDA Rural Development’s housing, business or community facilities programs, please call (302) 857-3580, email me at marlene.elliott@de.usda.gov, or visit our website at www.rurdev.usda.gov. We have employees across Delaware and Maryland that are ready to help. Marlene B. Elliott, of Laurel, DE was appointed by President George W. Bush to serve as the Delaware/Maryland Director for USDA Rural Development. Her office is located in Dover, DE. Before joining USDA, she was the Director of State operations for former U.S. Senator William V. Roth (R-Del.).
