Milford company to manage golf course

By Lynn R. Parks

The city of Seaford’s golf course officially has a management company. The city council Tuesday night approved an agreement between the city and Adkins Management Company, Milford, for the operation of Hooper’s Landing Golf Course (formerly the Seaford Golf and Country Club).

The agreement is effective July 1 and goes through June 30, 2012. “This is only a two-year contract because nobody knows how this will all work out,” city manager Dolores Slatcher told the council.

A grand opening of the golf course is set for Friday, July 30. The first tee-

off will be at 8 a.m.

According to the new agreement between the city and Adkins, the city will pay Adkins $730,000 over the first year of the contract. In the second year, that amount will go up to $759,200.

In return, the city will receive all income from the course, excluding money received from the sale of food.

Adkins will be responsible for the food and beverage services and will receive income from them.

Adkins will be responsible for hiring all employees and for the maintenance of the course as well as of its irrigation system. The company will also have to keep up the pro shop, the grounds and the parking lot. The company will not be responsible for the

pool and the pool house.

Any repairs or improvements to the course will be the responsibility of the city, unless the repairs are necessary because of negligence on the part of Adkins. In that case, the repairs will be the responsibility of Adkins.

The city will pay all taxes and fees involved with the golf course.

During the city council meeting, Slatcher praised city employees for the work they have put in getting the course ready for its opening.

“The heat, humidity and dryness have all been hard on the greens,” she said.

For the grand opening, “there may be some temporary greens out there,” she added. “But we will be open.”

Local market joins Alex’s Lemonade Stand campaign

By Lynn R. Parks

On an average summer Saturday, about a couple hundred people stop at the market at Evans Farms east of Bridgeville. Business there has increased substantially since the market was renovated, said Katey Evans, whose husband, Kevin, runs the farm and sister-in-law, Kim Vanbuskirk, runs the market stand.

“We get so much business that goes through,” said Katey. “And I thought that maybe we could put some of that to a good cause.”

This Saturday and Sunday and again on Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 7 and 8, the market will have a stand set up at which lemonade and lemon cakes and muffins will be available. Donations for the treats will benefit the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, which raises money to fight childhood cancer and to support children affected by cancer and their families.

Over the two Saturdays, Katey hopes to raise $1,000 for the foundation.

Workers on the farm are building a stand that will sit in front of the market and at which the lemon treats will be available. Tables at the stand will be protected from the sun by two lemon-decorated umbrellas that Katey has bought.

“We want to make it look super cute so that a lot of people will stop,” said Katey, who also works as public relations coordinator for the Delaware Farm Bureau.

Katey’s mother, Jo Ellen Algier, Greenwood, is making the muffins and pound cake. On Monday, she said that she plans

on making “several hundred” muffins for the first fundraising weekend.

Alex Scott, who was diagnosed with cancer when she was 1 year old, set up her first lemonade stand when she was 4.

According to the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, she wanted to raise money for doctors to help them find a cure for childhood cancer.

Alex died in 2004 at the age of 8. By that time, her stand had raised more than $1 million. The foundation that her family continued after her death has raised $30 million, $12 million of which has come from donations at lemonade stands.

Katey said that she became interested in the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation when she was a student at the University of Delaware and her sorority, Gamma Sigma Sigma, participated in a large foundation fundraiser in Philadelphia.

“We got to meet Alex’s family and heard her story and it is something that I have kept with me since then,” she said.

The farm market is also collecting money for the American Cancer Society, to fight breast cancer. Katey is having pink bracelets made that read “Fight like a girl” and “Do it for Yvonne.” Her grandmother, Yvonne Algier, Greenwood, is being treated for breast cancer.

“We get a ton of business on a weekend,” Katey said. “We really wanted to use the market to help out charities. It seemed almost selfish not to.”

School board debates event ticket prices

By Lynn R. Parks At the recommendation of new member Frank Parks, the Seaford School Board July 1 postponed a decision on student ticket prices for school athletic events. The board approved superintendent Russell Knorr’s recommendation that prices for adult tickets remain the same, at $4, $2 for middle school and junior varsity contests.

Parks, who was inducted into the board at the start of Thursday’s meeting, suggested students of the district be allowed to attend sporting events for free. Last year, students paid $3 for admission to varsity games, $1 to go to middle school or JV games.

“For years, attendance at games has

been dropping,” Parks said. “If students could get in for free, that would improve attendance. And if more people attend games, that would improve morale on the teams.”

Ultimately, Parks predicted, parental participation in the district would increase.

“If more students want to go to the games, they will need their parents to take them and that would help to get parents involved,” he said.

Parks said that in addition to requiring that students show their identification cards, the district could also require some sort of display of school pride, such as wearing gold and blue, the district’s colors.

The board will revisit the issue at its Aug. 9 meeting. Knorr said that in the

meantime, he will gather information about the cost to the district of allowing students in for free.

The school board did approve Knorr’s recommendation that school breakfast and lunch prices remain the same. Lunch costs 85 cents for elementary students and $1 for middle and high school students. Breakfast is 60 cents for elementary students and 75 cents for middle and high school students.

“It is absolutely amazing to me that we have not increased lunch prices for 17 years and that breakfast prices have been the same since 2001,” Knorr said.

Knorr and Donna Blackburn, the district’s director of administrative services, finance and payroll, presented a proposed budget for 2011. The $14.3 million budget

is “very conservative,” Blackburn said.

The budget includes a tax hike approved by voters in an April referendum.

Taxes will go from $3.23 per $100 of assessed value to $3.29 per $100 of assessed value. For the average homeowner in the district, that will mean an additional $10 a year.

The largest expense for the district is salaries, Knorr said. The district’s portion of salaries is more than half of the budget, at $8.247 million, up from $7.672 million last year. The board is expected to vote on the budget at its August meeting.

During the meeting, board member Suzanne Farris, who was the board’s vice president, was elected president. Clint Dunn replaced her as vice president.

Zerbe of John Dickinson High School and Harry Brake of Seaford High School.

Each school within Delaware was allowed one submission chosen by the English department chairperson. Each nomination was reviewed by the Prestwick House Delaware Teacher of the Year Committee, and three finalists were selected.

Harry Brake, a secondary English teacher at Seaford High School, has worked very hard to tie art and technology into classroom curriculum, securing various grants to fund opportunities like educational field trips for his students.

Mr. Brake is also heavily involved as an advisor for a variety of student organizations, including Relay for Life and Key Club. He is both the founder and advisor of Seaford’s PAVE club (Peers Actively Volunteering and Educating).

In addition to his work at Seaford High School, Mr. Brake is also well known because of his speaking engagements at conferences, such as the National Council for Teachers of English Convention, the National Writing Center Conference, and the Bloomsburg University Reading Conference.

Jennifer Bower, a teacher who specializes in media and writing, has served as the Language Arts Department chair at Seaford Middle School for the past six years. An advocate for the Learning-Focused Solutions Initiative, Mrs. Bower has used her skills to effectively address varied

learning styles in her classroom through the use of technology, art, and language.

Mrs. Bowers is also an active member of the school leadership team, a member of the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, the Diamond State Reading Association, the National Association of Secondary School Principals, and the Seaford Education Association.

The winner of the Delaware English Teacher of the Year Award will be announced on Wednesday, July 21, during the Prestwick House-sponsored Teacher

Appreciation Night at the Delaware Shakespeare Festival.

Along with recognition for their efforts in conjunction with the Shakespeare Festival performance of Shakespeare’s Macbeth and a plaque commemorating their achievements, the winning teacher will also receive a new Apple iPad fully loaded with Prestwick House digital teaching materials. All finalists will be featured on the Prestwick House website, blog, and in the Footnotes monthly email newsletter.

USDA awards $450,000 to Sussex Conservation District Deadline Friday for poulty producers

ROSS MANSION CONCERT - On Sunday, July 18, at 6:30 p.m. the Milford Community Band will perform on the Ross Mansion lawn with a concert that is free to the public. The Seaford Historical Society and the entire community are most grateful for Harley Davidson of Seaford having assumed the cost of this concert.

The Milford Community Band under the direction of Phil Steinhoff was founded in 1990 by Joe Lear. The 50 members of the band are music educators, talented high school students, accomplished amateurs and professional musicians.

The band provides rich sounds with polished renditions of a wide variety of music such as Broadway show tunes, Sousa marches,

patriotic medleys and light classical favorites.

It is suggested that anyone coming to enjoy this free concert should bring a lawn chair or blanket to provide comfortable seating.

Packing snacks or a picnic supper are also encouraged.

The Ross Mansion will be open for tours from 1 to 4 p.m. on that date. Admission to the Mansion is free to Seaford Historical Society members. Others will need to pay the usual fee of $3 for the tour.

This Harley Davidson sponsored concert is another of the events celebrating the 150th anniversary of Governor Ross having opened his newly constructed home. For more information, call the Seaford Historical Society office at 628-9828.

The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Delaware recently awarded $450,000 to the Sussex Conservation District (SCD) through a Cooperative Conservation Partnership Initiative (CCPI) to increase conservation efforts in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

Sussex Conservation District will use the federal funds to assist Delaware poultry producers in the implementation of select best management practices that are fundamental to improving air quality, soil conditions, soil erosion and water quality.

SCD is offering a sign-up period for producers until Friday, July 16. Producers interested in installing the following conservation practices may be eligible for financial assistance through the initiative: manure storage buildings, heavy use area poultry pads, composters, poultry windbreaks and others. The initiative is targeted to Chesapeake Bay Watershed operations in Sussex County within Congressional District 1.

Interested producers should contact the Sussex Conservation District at 8563990. More information about CCPI can be found at www.nrcs.usda.gov/ programs/ccpi/ and CBWI at www.nrcs. usda.gov/feature/chesapeakebay/chesapeakebay.html.

Rain heightens interest in Riverfest 2011

By Lynn R. Parks

This past weekend, Carolyn Farley traveled more than 100 miles, from Springfield, Va., a suburb of Washington, D.C., to Seaford and its annual Riverfest. She and her husband, Rick, set up their funnel cake stand, Carol’s Concessions, on High Street just west of city hall.

But by 4 p.m. Saturday, about six hours after the city, which sponsors the festival, canceled all outdoor activities due to rain and threatening thunderstorms, the stand’s slow trickle of customers dwindled to none. The Farleys packed up shop and headed home, about six hours earlier than they had intended.

“The weather kind of put a damper on things,” Carolyn Farley said as she fried up what would turn out to be the last funnel cake of the day. “But that’s OK—I’m already looking forward to next year.”

And there will be a next year, said Trisha Newcomer, the city’s economic development and information and technology manager. Riverfest 2011 is set for July 7, 8 and 9.

“Riverfest will go on again,” Newcomer said. “We will not let this year’s rain deter us from another festival next year.”

Newcomer said that this was the first wash-out in the 16-year history of Riverfest. “We’ve been extremely fortunate up until now,” she added. “And I think that this year’s rain will make people even more eager for next year.”

Jason and Darlene Hudson, Seaford, agree. With their 4-year-old daughter, Kalith, they wandered down High Street Saturday afternoon.

“We just walked down the street and now we’re walking back and heading home,” said Jason. “There’s not much here. But we’re not disappointed. And we’ll be back next year. I won’t not come back because it rained today.”

Riverfest opened on Thursday with a carnival, sponsored by the Nanticoke Rotary Club. On Friday, after a shower moved through town at around lunchtime, vendors set up along High Street.

The city opted to move all Friday-night entertainment scheduled for the festival’s main stage into the Seaford Fire Hall, to prevent sound equipment from being damaged by rain.

Friday-evening activities, including

opening ceremonies and the Mayor’s Invitational Egg Toss, got off without problem. “Competitors got a little rained on during the egg toss, but they went ahead,” Newcomer said. State Rep. Danny Short was the winner.

On Saturday, vendors arrived on High Street and started setting up their booths.

“We had quite a few vendors downtown and people were showing up for the car show,” Newcomer said. Then at around 9:30, “the bottom dropped out.”

City staff turned to the internet to check the forecast for the day. “There was not an hour that had anything less than a 50-percent chance of rain,” Newcomer said.

All outdoor activities, including entertainment set for the Rotary Stage behind city hall and for Gateway Park, were canceled. The festival keystone event, the Nanticoke River float-in, was also canceled because of threatening thunderstorms.

As it had been Friday, entertainment that was scheduled for the main bandstand was moved inside.

Vendors were allowed to stay if they wanted. Many left, but a few, like the Farleys, stayed until mid-afternoon.

“It was very disheartening,” Newcomer said. “We had a committee that worked so hard for months to bring together a wonderful festival for the community, and Mother Nature didn’t want to cooperate.”

She praised the nearly 20 volunteers, including city employees, city council members and members of the Riverfest committee, for pitching in and helping to take down tents and clean up trash after the activities were canceled. “They worked in the pouring rain and were drenched,” she said. “But we had everything cleaned up by around 2 p.m.”

Late Saturday afternoon, friends Maggie Durig, 15, and Ashley Bean 16, both from Seaford, sat in Gateway Park, eating a snack from the nearby Royal Farms convenience store. They normally participate in the float-in, Maggie said.

“There’s not much here to do,” said Maggie. “But it’s still kind of nice to be here, walking around.”

“I wish that more people were here,” added Ashley. “And that more vendors had stayed.”

Bruce Bradt, from Georgetown, and Tom Collins, Seaford, didn’t let the fact

that the float-in and the kayak race, both of which they planned to participate in, were cancelled deter them from enjoying the Nanticoke. Late Saturday afternoon, they were taking turns rowing a kayak along the river.

“We got soaked earlier today when we

were waiting for the races,” Collins said.

“But that’s OK — the river is beautiful now.”

Collins also echoed the sentiments of many whose Riverfest plans were changed by the rain. “I’ll be back again next year,” he said.

Childhood tales sparked Kendal Jones’ desire to preserve Laurel’s history

By James Diehl

W

hen an 11-year-old Kendal Jones moved into the home of his recently-widowed great aunt in the late 1930s, it was like experiencing heaven on earth. Running water, electricity, even oriental rugs were a welcome addition from the rural farmhouse he grew up in near Lowe’s Crossroads.

But a funny thing happened while moving into the thriving town of Laurel – young Kendal became interested in history and in his family’s role during the formative years of western Sussex County.

Hanging out with adults much older than he – his mother was 40 when he was born – only helped fuel those interests, which continue today at the age of 83.

“Since I was around older people a lot when I was young, I would just sit and listen to their stories,” says Jones, who later became a core community activist in his hometown. “Spending that time with my great aunt and listening to her stories just got me interested in the history of Laurel.”

And what a history it is – Jones can trace his family tree back to William Penn, whose family bestowed a 45-acre land grant to Jones’ ancestors in 1776. Much of that land, between Lowe’s Crossroads and Gumboro, remains with the Jones family today.

But it wasn’t until moving in with Florence Jones, the widow of Dr. W. T. Jones, that his family’s role in history began to interest him. Spending many of his formative years in the home on Market Street piqued an interest that has remained with him throughout his lifetime, one that has been filled with all sorts of community service endeavors.

“A lot of people helped me growing up, and I just always felt that when I grew up I would try to pay some of that back,” says Jones, who was named Laurel’s 1989 Citizen of the Year by the Laurel Chamber of Commerce.

And pay it back he has – Jones is a charter member of the Laurel Historical

Heroes series

If you know of someone who has dedicated his or her life to service to others, suggest their names for this series.

Contact James Diehl at 302-222-2685 or email Bryant richardson, brichardson@ mspublications.com Society, serving as its president on two separate occasions, a former town council member, the developer of the Laurel Museum, a former board member of the Laurel Chamber of Commerce and for 50 years has been a member of the Old Christ Church League.

Laurel is his town, and he’s committed to preserving as much of its history as possible.

“There’s just so much history here in Laurel that we need to preserve,” says the veteran of World War II and long-time accountant. “And, through the Western Sussex [Scenic and Historic] Byway, we’re trying our best to get people off of Route 13 to appreciate the natural beauty that we have here in western Sussex County, beauty that we often take for granted.”

Born to Edgar and Esthella Jones just outside of Laurel, Jones attended the oneroom schoolhouse at Lowe’s Crossroads for a year before beginning his daily commute to Laurel as a second grader.

As luck would have it, there was an empty seat on the school bus at the time and his parents could pay $2 a month for their son to have the privilege of riding to school. Graduating with the class of 1944, Jones was drafted into the United States Navy during World War II, serving his country at a base in California.

He attained his degree in Accounting and Business Administration in 1947 from what is today Goldey-Beacom College and worked for the next 49 years in various positions, including 20 years as the business manager of the Seaford School District. He

Kendal T. Jones, pictured here near the original Native American “wading place” along Broad Creek, has lived nearly his entire life in the Laurel community. One of his main missions today is keeping the history of Laurel alive through his roles with the historical society, the Old Christ Church League, the Western Sussex Scenic and Historic Byway, and other organizations.

retired in 1996 and has worked to preserve the history of western Sussex County ever since.

During his working years, and while raising two teenagers in the ‘60s and ‘70s, Jones was also heavily involved in the American Field Service program. He hosted two foreign students through the program – a young lady from Costa Rica and a male student from Switzerland.

“That was a good program and I really enjoyed that,” says Jones, who also served as president of the Laurel chapter of American Field Service for many years.

“The boy came back from Switzerland in the late ‘80s and told me that the experience changed his life. That really makes you feel pretty good.”

Jones’ family ties to the area date back more than 200 years – his parents and grandparents attended a one-room schoolhouse that was built in 1840 and attended

church services in a now-demolished structure. Both buildings carried the Jones family name as their official titles – Jones School still stands today as a farm building, while Jones Church has long since been committed to the history books.

In 1977, a year after the country celebrated its bicentennial, Jones helped form the Laurel Historical Society. It’s a group that has become a very important part of his life, and one he is very proud of.

A main issue moving forward, however, is piquing young people’s interest in the history of what used to be one of the state’s most affluent and important towns, a town that boasts natural waterways, a historic railroad stop and a handful of influential former governors.

Jones’ answer is simple – “You just have to talk about it.”

And he’s done just that over the years, Continued to page 37

Eastern Shore AFRAM Festival gospel entertainers Eastern Shore AFRAM Festival, Inc. announces its gospel entertainment schedule for this year’s AFRAM Festival, held in Nutter Park, Seaford, Aug. 12-14.

Charles Smith Jr. is a talented songwriter, producer, singer and musician who began his music career opening for major acts around Baltimore City. By age

17 he had already performed at the Apollo Theatre in New York City.

Charles got his first placement with 4 PM’s, “A Light in the Dark,” in 1997. While continuing to write and place songs, he signed a publishing deal, which landed him in Los Angeles. Since then, Charles has worked with an array of artists, writers and producers.

Tony Smith is an accomplished saxophonist with over 30 years of experience.

Submit Bulletin Board items by noon Thursday, at least one week before. Send to Morning Star Publications, PO Box 1000, Seaford, DE 19973, or email to editor@mspublications.com.

U.S. jobless data, a weaker U.S. dollar, a positive euro and European stocks, and U.S. inventory data showing a large decline in crude stocks were all contributing factors to oil’s gains. Crude closed the week at $76.09 a barrel Friday.

A look ahead “Barring any unforeseen natural or economic event, the Energy Information Administration forecast gas prices will average $2.80 a gallon this summer,” said Jana L. Tidwell, acting manager of Public and Government Affairs for AAA Mid-Atlantic.

Local pricing On Tuesday gas stations from Delmar to Greenwood were selling regular gasoline in a range from $2.549 to $2.659 a gallon. The high is six cents less than a week ago, the low is two cents less.

The Seaford City Council Tuesday night approved an additional $79,000 to be spent to improve the city’s water system.

Even so, the final price of the project, $1.756 million, is substantially lower than the $2.264 million that was originally budgeted.

The project was originally intended to replace water mains and eliminate deadend water pipes in Westview and along Bridgeville Highway.

When the low bid came in under budget, the city added eliminating dead-end water pipes in the area of Sussex Avenue and Tull Drive and along Atlanta Road.

The change order that the council approved Tuesday night will enable the city to replace piping and meter pits along Sussex Avenue.

The work is expected to be completed

by Oct. 27. Contractor is Bunting and Murray Construction, Selbyville.

Federal stimulus dollars are paying for

52 percent of the project.

The remaining 48 percent of the cost is being paid by the city with a loan from the state’s revolving fund.

Moose Lodge wants to join city

The Seaford Moose Lodge wants to be part of the city. The members of the lodge, which is located on alternate 13 north of town, have requested that the property be annexed. Tuesday night, Mayor Ed Butler appointed a three-person committee to look into the annexation and report back with recommendations. Councilman Bill Bennett will chair the committee, which will also include councilwomen Pat Jones and Grace Peterson.

City manager Dolores Slatcher said that the members of the Moose are primarily interested in tapping into the city’s water supply. The lodge is being renovated after suffering damages during a snowstorm this winter and the state fire marshal is requiring that the building have a sprinkler system.

“The members want to avoid having to put in a water tower to serve the sprinklers,” Slatcher said. The lodge has already obtained an easement that would allow it to plug into the city’s water system behind Lowe’s, Slatcher said.

Area scouts held a “shakedown” recently to make sure they were ready for the big Jamboree in Virginia at the end of July.

Scouts prepare for big Jamboree Local Boy Scout, Matthew Zoller, from Troop 381 in Seaford, is attending the 2010 Boy Scout National Jamboree in Fort AP Hill, Va., on July 26 to Aug. 4.

Zoller is the local hometown reporter for his Jamboree troop and will have many special opportunities including helicopter rides to take pictures, a bicycle to ride and front row seats for the arena shows.

Around 45,000 scouts plan to attend the Jamboree which includes scuba diving, archery, fishing, rifle shooting, various merit

badges, wall climbing, skateboarding and arena shows. From the Delmarva Council, there will be five different troops consisting of 36 scouts plus four leaders for a total of 180 scouts and 20 adults.

The scouts have been meeting once a month for the past year in preparation for the Jamboree. In June, the scouts met at Rodney Scout Reservation for a “shakedown,” where the troops learned to work together and to make sure they have all the equipment they need for the Jamboree.

O’BEAR VISITS LIBRARY - Kody and the Kody’s Fun Learning Network team recently visited the Seaford Library and Culture Center for story time and songs. Kody even talked about the “word” of the day and how it was important to be considerate to everyone.

Kody is pictured here with one of his pals, Natalie McFarland. Kody and the Fun Learning Team will be visiting preschools, libraries and Head Start programs all over Sussex County this fall. For more information, visit www. kodyobear.com.

Entertainment was different as a child There it was. I could hardly believe it. Lying half covered in the dirt was a shiny round object. Closer inspection confirmed my greatest expectations; it was a quarter.

A quarter may not sound like too much, but when you are nine years old in 1966, it was like finding a brick of gold.

Before I even managed to pick it up I started imagining where and how I would spend it. I had it spent by the time I got it in hand. When you received money, whether the 10 cents our barber Ira Lowe always gave us after a haircut, or the 25 cents my grandmother would give me for helping her during the week, there was a certain criteria to follow.

If it was less than a dollar, you would go to Archie Tyler’s or Bryan Hall’s stores to spend it. If it was a dollar or more, it was off to McCrory’s (The 10cent store). Once I had the quarter in my pocket I tore off for town like Grant through Richmond.

Mr. Archie’s store was my family’s “Food Lion.” If I was craving candy or Oatmeal cakes, or maybe those chocolate cupcakes with white cream inside, that is where I would go. However, if had my mind on a toy, then it was off to Bryan Hall’s store.

Walking into Bryan Hall’s store I would scan the rows of candy neatly stacked against the front counter and then look at the spinning metal rack that contained all kinds of gimmicks and gadgets.

I had gotten every item at one time or another. There was the stink bomb.

That was a riot. It was a small ball with a fuse that once lit would eventually emit a smoke cloud of gaseous sulfur. Why was that legal? Even more importantly, what possible use could there be for anyone other than a juvenile delinquent?

There was the small buzzer that you could use to shake hands with somebody and deliver a buzzing vibratration in the palm of their hand. Now, this seemed like such a clever and humorous practical joke.

But given the fact that I can recall maybe once in my childhood that I shook hands with someone it was hard to set up the joke.

I would walk up to one of my friends with hand stretched out and say, “Hey, shake hands.” There was hardly an element of surprise. I would have been more successful if I had been wearing a sandwich board sign proclaiming I had just been to Bryan Hall’s and bought a handshake buzzer.

Of course I could always buy paper caps. They were normally reserved for the cap pistol I would get each year for Christmas. However, by summertime I was lucky if there was a trigger or barrel left to the gun. But, I would still buy paper caps. There would be anywhere from three to six rolls of paper caps depending on the price.

I would take the caps home and sit down on the back porch steps with a brick and a hammer.

If I didn’t have access to a hammer, another brick would do. I would take a roll of paper caps and slam a brick down on top of it and hear the loud crack of the miniature explosion and watch the smoke

Once I had the quarter in my pocket I tore off for town like Grant through Richmond. and gunpowder shoot out from the target.

This would last between two and four minutes, depending on whether I had three or six rolls of paper caps. Looking back on this exercise in futility it is easy to see I was certainly no ball of creative energy.

More often than not, I would wind up buying the little Army man that was attached to a parachute. He was green, dressed in fatigues and holding a rifle.

The plastic parachute was with him, folded strategically inside the cellophane package. The outside of the bag stated, “Hours of fun. Watch this military hero float down for action anywhere you choose.”

What action? He was a hollow soft plastic replica of a soft plastic hollow soldier. But, I would buy it and run home to play with it. The first thing I had to do was untangle the six to eight threads that attached the parachute. I would then throw the soldier as high in the air and watch him float down. I would then pick him up, untangle the six to eight threads and throw him again.

It was probably six times in the air before the threads would either break one at a time or get so tangled I would grow impatient trying to straighten them out.

Eventually the parachute would only open about half way because the strings were tangled and the soldier would fall like a soft rock.

It would be 30 minutes into my play with the parachuting soldier that I would usually send him on his last mission: to parachute into the burning barrel of trash my dad would have set a few minutes earlier.

Well, including the time it took to get to the store, pick out the toy, run back home and play with the soldier, that quarter I found had given me an hour of entertainment.

Now, I would just need to figure out what to do with the other eight or nine hours.

MORNING STAR • JULY 15 - 21, 2010

Seaford varsity boys’ head tennis coach Phil Burtelle recently announced his retirement after 13 years of coaching high school tennis. Burtelle has been the boys’ coach for the past 10 years after starting as an assistant girls’ tennis coach.

Seaford boys’ tennis coach Phil Burtelle announces his retirement

By Lynn Schofer

Seaford High School boys’ tennis coach Phil Burtelle, whose passion for the game put the Blue Jay program on top in Delaware, recently announced his retirement from coaching. Burtelle said he believes the time is right for him to step away and allow someone else to take over.

“I want to thank Dr. Russ Knorr and the Seaford School Board for allowing me to coach the last 13 years,” said Burtelle, who added that his decision to retire has been emotional because he will miss the kids. “The kids are what make it fun and watching them get better has been a true reward.”

Coach Burtelle joined Seaford tennis as an assistant coach to Bob Hastings in 1997 for the girls’ program. “Bob called and asked me and that marked the beginning of 13 years of memories,” Burtelle recalled.

Burtelle wants to especially thank Hastings, “Bob started the tennis program at Seaford. He has been coaching a lot longer than myself, and has many more wins than I do. His passion for the game is so strong, it is easy to work along side of him.”

Reflecting on the years together Coach Burtelle said, “We would play bad cop and good cop with the girls. The girls knew if they would ask me for something, I would go to Bob and try to talk him into it.”

In 2000, Burtelle took the position of boys’ head coach. “I had four goals when I took the position: win the Southern Division, win the conference, a state championship and win 100 matches,” said Burtelle. He met three of his goals and couldn’t be happier. “The team won several Southern Division titles, won the conference in 2009, and I notched my 100th win as a coach this past season.”

The only championship that eluded Seaford is a state championship. “That is

okay, we had an opportunity to win but it wasn’t meant to be,” Burtelle said.

Coach Burtelle is proud that Seaford has produced individual state champions and the program has been ranked in the top 10 in the state of Delaware for the past 10 years. In 2000, Ryan Workman and Ryan Behrens won first doubles and Anthony Nicoletos and Kyle Shockley were second doubles State Champions.”

Burtelle said one of his biggest success stories came in 2003, when Phil Dobson and Chris Rupp won the state championship. Coach Burtelle said Dobson couldn’t hit the ball at first. “I put him on a ball machine and told him that he wasn’t leaving until he hit 10 balls,” said Burtelle. He said Dobson struggled as a singles player but when he put Dobson with Rupp in doubles, the mix of different personalities really worked on the court.

Several conference champions were developed under the direction of Burtelle, “I have coached so many wonderful kids it is hard to name them all but each one has a special moment in time.”

Burtelle was awarded Coach of the Year five times and his total record of 100 wins and 37 losses proves his leadership skills as superior. He leaves Seaford with a heavy heart and at times was emotional as he talked about leaving his “tennis family”.

“I didn’t think it would be this hard or emotional,” said Burtelle, who said his philosophy was to have fun, respect the game, and learn the basics and history of tennis by practice. “I feel good because I brought the program where it is today.

In 2000 I had seven players and I told the kids if you can hit the ball over the net, you are on the team. After 2000, we had 20 to 30 kids come out every year. These kids have touched my life.”

Coach Burtelle would also like to thank his past and present assistant coaches and others who have worked with him and Continued on page 25

Burtelle continued contributed many hours to the program.

“Galen Brosius put in some extra volunteer hours to help and I truly appreciated his commitment. The late Vince Morris was a great supporter of tennis and I know we drove him crazy sometimes,” Burtelle said.

Burtelle also thanked athletic trainer Jerry Sodano for the many hours and commitment, not only to the tennis team but to the kids.

“I know he just wanted to run and hide sometimes and I really believe we made him lose his hair,” said Burtelle. “I had a new assistant coach this year, Lucien Howard, who worked with the kids and really knows the game.”

“I’ve coached entire families like the Halters, DeMotts, and Kimptons. All the families are very special,” Burtelle added.

Coach Burtelle said he would love to see the state tournament played in Seaford, “We really fought hard to resurface the courts and it is time for the north to come to the south.” Burtelle said he hopes to do some traveling with his wife and he will continue to play tennis. Burtelle himself has played tennis since 1979 and is champion in several tournaments and played in the nationals in 1999.

“I am very competitive and I will play until I die. If I die on a tennis court, I would love it,” said Burtelle. For now he added, as the cliché goes, “I will now have more time to spend with my family.”

The Woodbridge Junior League baseball team was unable to mount a second rally after coming from behind to take a 4-3 lead in the fourth inning of last Sunday’s District III game in Roxana. Cape scored six runs in the fifth inning and held on for a 9-5 win in the tournament opener.

Cape put a run on the board in the first inning when D.D. Gooch singled, stole second, and scored on an error. John Warren added a two-run single in the top of the second for a 3-0 advantage.

Woodbridge came within a run with a pair of runs in the bottom of the inning.

Trey Warren reached first on an error, Brent Adams walked, Chris Eck put down a bunt single. Woodbridge scored on an infield single by Timmy Petrone and an error.

Warren answered with a leadoff triple in the top of the fourth, but Woodbridge starter Kani Kane recorded two strikeouts

and induced a pop out to get out of the jam.

Woodbridge took the lead in the bottom of the inning as Adams hit a leadoff double and scored on an RBI double by Ryan Parker. Josh Vazquez moved the runner to third with a sac bunt and Petrone delivered an RBI double (4-3).

Georgetown-Millsboro scored six runs in the fifth on five hits and three errors for a 9-4 lead.

Woodbridge got one run back in the bottom of the fifth as courtesy runner Anthony Jefferson stole second and scored on a ground out by Logan Wescott.

Briddell to play basketball, study criminal justice at Delaware Tech

By Mike McClure

Laurel graduate Tomorrow Briddell signed a letter of intent to attend Delaware Technical and Community College, Stanton-Wilmington campus recently.

Briddell, who became the second Laurel girls’ basketball player to score over 1,000 points in her career, will play basketball and study criminal justice at Delaware Tech.

Delaware Tech coach Jim Kane said Briddell will be a part of the team’s new guard rotation. The team, led by two time all-region play Dohnay Banice of Dover, made the playoffs the last two seasons.

The team lost nine players to graduation this year.

“She should fit right in. She’s quick and plays good defense,” said Kane. “We graduated nine so it’s perfect timing.”

“I’m excited,” Briddell said. “It’s so close to home, so I’m eager to play.”

Briddell, who ended her high school career with 1,249 points, became the second girls’ basketball player in school history to score 1,000 points or more.

“It’s just a very happy moment for Tomorrow. She’s definitely earned the right to play basketball on the collegiate level,” said Laurel varsity girls’ basketball coach Kevin Walmsley, who added that the Bulldogs will miss her as a player and a person next season.

“It (Briddell’s signing) means everything, all the girls look up to her. It means a lot to Laurel athletics. We’re very proud of her here at Laurel.”

Briddell is hoping to play for Delaware Tech for two years and then transfer to a four year school to finish out her playing career.

Rick Laubach, Kenny Pettyjohn win big in Camp Barnes benefit

By Charlie Brown

Rick Laubach of Quakertown, Pa. won the Shootout at last year’s Camp Barnes Benefit. This year Lauback returned for the 38 Annual event this time driving the Benton Electric and Elevator/Teo and once again it paid off big. Laubach won his head and started on the pole in the 25lap Big Block Modified feature, leading every lap and collecting $3,600 for his efforts.

Kenny Pettyjohn of Millsboro won his second big payday of the season at DIS in the Super Late Model 25-lap main. Pettyjohn took the lead on lap 14 and led the rest of the distance to earn $3,275.

Other winners on the night included Jon Callaway of Harrington, in the AC Delco Modifieds, Nick Davis of Gumboro in the Crate Models, Tim White of Salisbury in the Mod Lites and Bill Brittingham of Felton in the Little Lincoln Vintage cars.

Private First Class Randall Allen, home on two weeks leave from Afghanistan, was the honorary starter for the night.

Laubach took control at the start of the 25-lap Big Block Modified feature with Kenny Brightbill slipping into second and Jimmy Horton running third. Chad James charged into fourth and took third from Horton on lap 12. One lap later, James moved by Brightbill into second. His drive would end on lap 19 when he slowed to a stop bringing out the yellow.

Laubach had no problems with the restarts and pulled away each time. Billy Pauch was running third with five to go and took second from Horton with two laps to go. Laubach went on to the win with Pauch second and Horton third.

Fourth went ot Brightbill and Matt Jester rounded out the top five. Heats were won

by Laubach and Jamie Mills.

“I do like coming down here,” said Laubach. “It was easy for us because it doesn’t hurt to draw a good number. I know our laps times were fast so if they had went by that like last year we still would have been decent.”

Donald Lingo, Jr. took off in the lead in the Super Late Model feature. Ricky Elliott chased from second with Kenny Pettyjohn running in third. Devin Friese was on the move and took third on lap three. Friese had just worked by Elliott for second on lap ten when Elliott slowed bringing out the yellow. Lingo controlled the restart but he too slowed in the second turn bringing out the yellow and turning the lead over to Friese.

Friese led through the halfway sign before Pettyjohn moved on top. David Hill

followed into second. Hill made a final attempt for the win with one to go but came up short and Pettyjohn picked up his second big win of the season. Ross Robinson came on strong in the closing laps to finish in third with Friese fourth and Rob Schirmer fifth. Heats were won by Lingo and Elliott.

“These were the two nights to win,” Pettyjohn said of his two victories this season. “This was a tough one and that’s one tough race car I was riding in.”

Davis almost led wire to wire in the 15-lap Crate Model feature. Matt Hill gave chase early on before Sparky White worked into second. Joe Warren took the second spot at the halfway sign and edged out front for lap 13. Davis was back out front for the white flag and went on to his second win of the season. Chris Hitchens took second from Warren on the final lap.

Fourth went to Mike Wharton and Clint Chalabala rounded out the top five. Davis set fast time in qualifying.

Callaway collected all the lap money in the 15-lap AC Delco Modified feature.

Shawn Ward took second from Brandon Perdue on lap two and challenged Callaway the remainder of the distance. Ward got along side of Callaway with one to go but Callaway held him off to record his second win of the season and his first Camp Barnes victory. Ward finished in second with Justin Griffith third. Fourth went to Greg Taylor, Jr. and Mike White rounded out the top five. Fast time in qualifying was set by Callaway.

Drivers from five states made up the 24 car Mod Lite starting field. Ty Short led the first seven laps with White taking charge at the halfway sign. At that point he was followed by Short, Kevin McKinney, James Hill and Brandon Dennis in the top five. White drove his Floyd Carey owned mount to his second win of the season. Short crossed the line in second but failed the post race inspection. Finishing in second through fifth were Kerry King, Jr., Dennis, McKinney and western Pennsylvania’s Lynn Knepper. Fast time in qualifying was set by Short.

In the 12-lap Little Lincoln feature, John Stevenson led the first two laps before Brittingham nosed in front for lap three. Stevenson regained the lead a lap later and held the top spot until lap eight when Brittingham went back out front to stay.

Laurel Major League all-star softball team wins District III title

By Mike McClure The Laurel Major League all-star softball team won the District III title with a 12-0 win over Lewes on Tuesday night in Laurel. The team, led by manager Brad Lee, will look to win its second straight state title when it traverls to Milford for the state tournament next week.

Laurel scored five runs in the first inning thanks to a two-run triple by Rachel Davis, an RBI single by Savannah Brown, a sacrifice fly by Tristin West, and Morgan Joseph’s RBI double. Lewes collected its only hit of the game off Regan Green in the bottom of the first, but Green stranded the runner with her third strikeout of the inning.

Laurel added a run in the second inning when Davis reached first on an error, moved to second on a single by Brown, stole third, and scored on a fielder’s choice. In the top of the fourth, Sabrina Savage walked and scored on an error, Shelby Murphy walked and came home on a single by Davis, Kortney Lee singled and scored on a base hit by Green, Davis came home on a single by Brooke Jones, and Jones and Alex Joseph scored on an error (12-0).

Green recorded a pair of strikeouts in the bottom of the fourth to seal the Laurel win. Green struck out 10 in four innings and collected two hits, Davis had two hits and three RBIs, and Brown added two hits and an RBI. The defending state champions, with six or seven players back from last year’s team, will take on the District II (New Castle) champions next Wednesday in Milford.

“We expect to do well in states. Definitely our goal is the state tournament year in and year out,” said Laurel manager Brad Lee. “We saw some teams that not only did they have good players but they were deep (at regionals in Albany, N.Y. last year.”

Woodbridge Minor League softball team advances to championship

By Lynn Schofer The Woodbridge Minor League all-star softball team has played in some excitingly tight games in the 2010 tournament. On Monday evening in Georgetown, the Woodbridge team took on Milton. It would take eight innings to give Woodbridge the 3-2 victory in the game and send them to the District III championship game.

Woodbridge’s Mya Maddox pitched seven strong innings and scored the winning run in the top of the eighth to give Woodbridge the win. Woodbridge took an early lead in the first inning on a bunt single by Maddox followed by sacrifice by Kayla Hastings and a single by Lisa Eck. Milton showed some early nerves in the first inning scoring two errors in the first inning but settled in and held Woodbridge scoreless until the eighth inning. Maddox opened with three straight strikeouts but in the bottom of the second inning Milton would strike back and score two runs.

In the third inning, Maddox walked the first batter who would steal second and third base, but Maddox turned on the heat to strike out the next three hitters that ended the threat. In the fourth inning Woodbridge loaded the bases with base hits by Mackenzie Masten, Hailey Slater and Maddox but were not able to add to their score.

In the fifth Woodbridge would once again put hitters on base with Eckís single followed by sacrifices by Taylor Bassord and Delaney VanBuskirk. Tana Rafair took a ball in the back to put two runners in scoring position. Milton would hold strong and score the final out, stranding the two runners.

In the sixth inning, Maddox hit a ball to deep right field and as she rounded first base was interfered on by the defense but it went unnoticed by the umpire. The play continued and when Maddox attempted to score she was thrown out at home. Milton was able to hold Woodbridge for the rest of the inning.

The excitement continued into the bottom of the inning when Milton’s lead off batter sent a ball to the outfield and attempted to stretch it into a double but was thrown out by a well-thrown ball by Nadine Tinsman. Maddox would strike out the next two batters to take the game into the seventh inning. The game remained tied at 2-2 after seven innings and Maddox and catcher Corrin Farris switched positions.

In the top of the eighth, Maddox punched a ball through the left side for a two-out single. Maddox stole second and went to third on an over thrown ball. She reacted when the infielder missed the ball and took off for home. This time her feet got under the tag and she scored the go ahead run.

In the bottom of the inning, Farris struck out the first two batters and walked the next two. After a visit to the mound by her coach and mom Patty Farris, she settled in and finished the game with a strikeout.

Maddox pitched seven innings and had 17 strikeouts. Farris pitched one inning with three strikeouts.

Speech delays in children do not necessarily mean autism

By Dr. Anthony Policastro I frequently see patients who come in with a complaint about speech delay. In most cases, the child is about two years of age. When they arrive, the complaint is usually that they are only saying a few words.

While the complaint may be the same, there are several different types of delays.

The first are the children who begin saying words late. Instead of starting at 12 months, they started at 18 months.

Between 18 and 24 months their vocabulary has gradually increased. These children have a delay in starting speech but then follow a normal pattern. They will usually do fine and just need to be observed.

The second are the children who started saying words at 12 months. They continued learning new words until about 18 months. Progression stopped and they need to be evaluated. They need a hearing test done because they might have fluid behind their eardrum interfering with hearing.

They also need to be evaluated by a speech therapist.

The third are the children who started saying words at 12 months. By 24 months they have only learned a few words. They too need to have the same evaluation as those who stopped learning new words.

The fourth are the children who began saying words at 12 months. However, at some point they no longer learned new words. They then began forgetting words that they already knew. This is very rare.

It usually suggests the need for a full pediatric evaluation to make sure that there are not other areas that have regressed as well.

In addition to the questions about speech itself, there are other important questions at this age. Many of them involve asking about symptoms of autism.

While there is speech delay in autism, that is only one symptom. For that reason, speech delay does not usually mean autism.

Speech delay is not the only speech problem exhibited by autistic children.

They may say things that they hear over

and over and use words or phrases repeatedly. This overuse will be so severe that it bothers others around them.

There are two other groups of symptoms that must be present to make the diagnosis of autism. One of those is a problem with social behavior. These children do not like to play with other children and they do not interact well with family members. They are not affectionate. Many other social related symptoms can be present.

The other group of symptoms is called stereotypic behavior. These children have rituals that they follow. They may line their toys up in a certain way and they don’t like it if someone interferes. They may open and close doors for hours at a time and turn light switches on and off for extended periods of time.

I will have parents come see me with a child who has none of these other symptoms. However, the parents are concerned about autism simply because of the speech delay.

I sometimes will not see children with

speech difficulties until they are three years of age. By three years of age children should be talking in sentences. The first part of the evaluation is the same as for those seen at age two years of age. We need to know if there is normal progression or not. We need to know if speech stopped at some point and if it has regressed.

The big difference when they hit age three is related to the evaluation.

Before age three the State program, Child Development Watch, does the evaluation and they will refer the child to a speech therapist if necessary. After age three, the local school district does the evaluation and any necessary speech therapy. Most parents do not realize that they can get help from the schools at this point because they don’t think their child is old enough.

While many children seem to have speech delays, there are a lot of different aspects to these delays. How we handle the delay depends on the story and other factors.

Neal Friesen is biking across the U.S. to raise awareness of disaster relief efforts with Cycle MDS.

Cyclist makes stop in Greenwood In a continuing campaign to raise awareness of disaster relief efforts, Neal Friesen has embarked upon Cycle MDS, a 10,000-mile solo tour of the continental United States, including a brief jaunt into Canada.

Cycle MDS aims to highlight and promote such efforts undertaken by Mennonite Disaster Service and the Disaster Management program at Hesston College in Hesston, Kan. The trip began in New Iberia, La. and is scheduled to take approximately six months, with Friesen returning to Louisiana in November. Friesen will carry all 80 pounds of his equipment, including a portable camp stove and a small one-man tent, in a pack strapped to his bike. He plans to cover about 400 miles per week, entering each of the contiguous 48 states at least once on his journey.

Mennonite Disaster Service, a disasterrelief agency comprised of Anabaptist churches in the United States and Canada, organizes volunteers to assist in disasterstricken areas in both countries, including areas now being contaminated by the Gulf oil spill.

Visit the ride’s website at www.cyclemds.org for ride updates, to learn more about the organizations, and to make a donation to support the MDS program, or follow Friesen’s blog at www.cycleMDS. blogspot.com.

Police Journal Invasion and sexual assault

Delaware State Police is investigating an early morning home invasion/sexual assault which occurred on Dove Road in Seaford, on Sunday, July 11, at 3:40 a.m.

Three black male suspects entered the residence through an unsecured window. Once inside, the suspects entered the victim’s room. The 46-year-old female victim woke to one of the suspects assaulting her husband. The 49-year-old victim was struck on the head with a handgun and had a gun pointed at his head as one of the suspects sexually assaulted his wife.

The suspects then walked the victims throughout their house looking for money. They ransacked the victim’s residence then led them outside and removed money, cell phones, jewelry, liquor and a laptop from the victim’s cars. After rummaging through the vehicles, the suspects fled on foot southbound on Dove Road. The male victim chased the suspects but lost sight of them.

Delaware State Police K-9 officers responded to the scene and conducted a track for the suspects. The K-9 officer was able to locate an item of clothing belonging to one of the suspects but attempts to locate the suspects were unsuccessful.

Delaware State Police are seeking the public’s assistance in locating 3 black males - 5’6”, 5’8” and 6’ tall, dark complexions, wearing masks and dressed in all black clothing. The suspects had either Haitian or Jamaican accents.

The victim went to Newman’s residence on the 32000 block of Horsey and Everett Road, Laurel, to discuss personal issues. During the argument, Newman became agitated with the victim and removed a long gun or rifle from his vehicle. He then pointed the gun at the victim ordering her off the property. The victim immediately left and contacted authorities.

Anyone with information pertaining to this case is asked to call investigators at 302-3371090, ext. 0 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333.

Arrested for robbery

Archer asked the victim, who was counting money when he approached, if he could use his cell phone. As the victim placed his money under his leg, Archer reached inside the vehicle and grabbed the victim’s money.

Archer fled the scene to an unknown destination. The victim was not injured.

Delaware State Police Evidence Detection Unit responded

Woman dies in crash

On Sunday, July 11 at 7:45 a.m., Delaware State Police investigated a traffic crash which occurred on Seashore Highway east of Coverdale Crossroads.

A 2000 Nissan Altima driven

by Melissa Marie Mohl, 24, of Baltimore, Md., was eastbound on Seashore Highway. A second vehicle driven by 61-year-old Charles Cave Sr. of Georgetown was westbound on Seashore Highway east of Bridgeville.

MORNING STAR • July 15 - 21, 2010 Initial indications revealed that Mohl crossed into the westbound lane of travel and collided with Cave’s 1998 Chevrolet S-10 truck.

The crash left both operators trapped in their vehicles. Mohl sustained severe head trauma and was transported to Nanticoke Hospital in Seaford where she was pronounced dead.

Mohl’s infant son, Nikolas Mohl, who is just over 1-yearsold, was flown to A. I. DuPont hospital for precautionary reasons, however was conscious and alert at the crash site. The infant was properly restrained.

Charles Cave Sr. was transported for a fracture to his ankle. His passenger, 12-year-old Demetrius Price, was transported to Nanticoke Hospital and treated for minor injuries.

Delaware State Police are continuing their investigation and a State Police preliminary investigation suggests drugs may have played a factor in this crash.

Foster parent sentenced

The Delaware Child Predator Task Force has announced that Steven Hughes, 52, of Newark was sentenced by Superior Court Judge Richard R. Cooch to 20 years in prison on child exploitation charges. Hughes is a former foster parent who operated a photography studio specializing in the photography of young children and also billed himself as a “Santa Claus” who would conduct home visits.

Hughes was arrested in Millsboro on Oct. 22, 2009 and was indicted on Nov. 9, 2009, on multiple counts of sexual exploitation of a child and dealing in child pornography.

The indictment alleges that Hughes possessed 18 images of a 6-year-old female exposing her genitalia in sexually explicit poses and numerous other images of toddler-age females forced into sex acts with adult men. Hughes was charged with distributing these images by publishing them online to any interested party, including undercover law enforcement agents involved in the investigation. In total, the ongoing investigation revealed that Hughes maintained more than 15,000 images of child exploitation, hundreds of which he created himself. He pled guilty to five counts of sexual exploitation of a child on April 15.

Caretaker faces charges

On Monday, June 28, Delaware State Police investigated an abuse complaint at the Falcon Crest Group Home located on Falcon Crest Drive, Harbeson.

State Police investigators learned that the two victims suffer from autism and mental retardation. In the first incident, the 26-year-old victim was eating dinner and did not want to sit while eating. The defendant, 46-year-old Bonnie Cornish of Seaford, the caretaker on duty, walked the victim to her room. Shortly thereafter, the

26-year-old victim returned to the eating area which apparently angered Cornish. Cornish took out a belt and struck the victim an undetermined amount of times while in the victim’s room. Moments later, the 26-year-old victim returned to the kitchen a second time and was again struck with a belt.

Cornish walked the victim down the hallway to her room allegedly striking her along the way. The victim sustained injuries to her thigh and back areas.

This same evening, a second incident occurred involving Cornish and another patient. Cornish was transporting the previous 26-year-old victim and a 27-yearold female victim to an appointment in Georgetown. Cornish was driving a State of Delaware transportation van at the time of the second incident. The 27-yearold victim has difficulty adjusting to traveling in vehicles and, on this occasion, began to cry. Cornish stopped the van on Zoar Road, Georgetown and confronted the 27-year-old victim. Cornish slapped the victim across the face inflicting two scratches, swelling and redness under her left eye.

State Police arrested Cornish and she was charged with two counts of abuse, mistreatment or neglect a patient or resident of facility. She was released on $2,000 unsecured bond and given a no contact order with the victims along with their place of residence.

Injured in fight

On July 8 at 11:10 p.m., Seaford Police responded to Coyotes Bar in the Nylon Capital Shopping Center, for a reported fight.

Officers located the victim, a 29-year-old male from Seaford, outside the bar. The victim appeared intoxicated with swelling and bleeding to his face.

At one point, the victim stumbled to the ground where Jackson struck the victim in the face several times with his fist.

The victim, who was transported to Nanticoke Memorial Hospital by Seaford Fire Department Ambulance personnel and later transported to Christiana Hospital, was treated and released for his injuries.

Warrants were obtained for Jackson who was arrested

by Seaford Police on July 10.

He was arraigned at Justice of the Peace Court 3 in Georgetown and released after posting a $5,500 bond pending a hearing in the Court of Common Pleas.

Caught in the act

On Monday, July 5, Delaware State Police investigated a suspicious person’s complaint in the 3800 block of Arthursville Road, Hartly.

State Police received information from a 68-year-old man who advised that a white male knocked on his door around 9 p.m. and advised him his garage was open. The suspect, Kyle Teeter, 21, also of Arthursville Road, was observed by the victim walking over to his neighbor’s residence. The victim was aware that his neighbors were not home so he notified the police.

When State Police arrived, they observed an open door at the rear of the neighboring residence and Teeter walking inside. Teeter was observed carrying items from the residence and placing them on the deck. State Police confronted Teeter and took him into custody.

A review of the property taken

by Teeter from the 41-year-old victim’s residence included: Echo weedeater, Canon Powershot digital camera, jewelry, 32 inch flat screen television, Dell Dimension computer and accessories and an undisclosed amount of cash.

State Police discovered that Teeter kicked open a garage door and the door at the rear of the residence in order to gain access causing approximately $500 damage. The estimated value of the items stolen and recovered totaled approximately $3,100.

Teeter was charged with second degree burglary, theft, criminal mischief and third degree trespassing. He was remanded to the James T. Vaughn Correction Center in lieu of $3,850 secured bond.

Early tales influence Jones Continued from page eight

organizing presentations, slide shows and anything else that may light a spark in the eyes of a young person.

History not withstanding, Jones realizes modernday Laurel has it’s challenges – long gone are the days when the town was one of the wealthiest and most influential towns in the First State. But it’s still a nice place to live, he maintains, and he doesn’t plan on leaving anytime soon – if ever.

“I think we have just as much to offer, but it’s not like it was. In the 1940s, I knew everyone in town, or at least everyone on my street,” he remembers. “We have drawn away from that, but it’s still a pleasant place to live. It’s just a way of life that I’ve known for so long, and I think it’s the best.”

Kendal T. Jones has served his country during World War II, held many positions of authority in his hometown, raised two grown children and worked in the local job market for nearly a half a century.

He also sang tenor for many years in the choir at Centenary Church and in the long defunct Seaford Symphonic Choir, a 1950s group made up mostly of employees from Seaford’s DuPont nylon plant.

“That was a lot of fun because I just enjoyed the singing and the sharing,” he says. “If you enjoy that, it’s nice to be around others who enjoy that too.”

These days, one of Jones’ favorite things is to just sit and contemplate life at the picturesque Phillip’s Landing, just west of Laurel. Taking a walk through the woods or watching the water and the wildlife helps the man of 83 relax and appreciate life – he is where he wants to be, and he wouldn’t change a thing.

He says matter-of-factly: “I’ve had a pretty good life and I can’t complain.”

Tomatoes, a backyard garden favorite, are a treat

For a backyard gardener, picking that first ripe tomato from the oretta norr vine can be a religious experience.

A tree in our yard fell victim to the ravages of winter which was unfortunate but its demise provided us with a small patch of continuous sun and a perfect spot for a small raised bed in which to grow a few tomato plants.

2. In a large salad bowl, combine romaine, Homemade Croutons and tomatoes.

In a small bowl, combine ranch salad dressing and steak seasoning. Drizzle dressing over salad; gently toss to coat.

Serve immediately. Makes 4 to 6 side-dish servings.

Homemade Croutons: Spread 2 cups cubed sourdough, Italian or French bread in a single layer in a shallow baking dish.

Stir together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt; pour over bread cubes, tossing to coat. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes. Stir; bake for 8 to 10 minutes more or until crisp and brown. Makes 2 cups.

Make-Ahead Tip: Store cooled croutons in airtight container in refrigerator up to 3 days.

Zucchini-Tomato Cups Makes about 24 appetizers 3 small zucchini, trimmed and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices (1 to 1 1/4 pounds) 1/4 cup crumbled Blue cheese (1 ounce) 8 cherry tomatoes, each cut into 3 or 4 slices (about 3/4 cup) 1/4 cup finely shredded or grated Parmesan cheese Ground black or white pepper 24 small fresh basil leaves

1. Line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Scoop out some of the flesh from the center of each zucchini slice with a melon baller, creating a shell that resembles a bowl. Place slices, bowl sides up, on prepared baking sheet.

2. Fill each shell with a crumble or two of the blue cheese. Top each with 1 tomato slice. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and pepper.

3. Bake at 350 degrees for 5 to 7 minutes or until cheese melts. (Watch carefully so they do not brown.) Arrange on a serving tray. Garnish each with a fresh basil leaf.

Chunky Fresh Tomato Salsa Makes about 2 cups 2 fresh serrano chile peppers or 1 fresh jalapeño chile pepper, stemmed and halved 1 clove garlic, peeled 2 large fresh tomatoes (about 1 pound) 1/3 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves 1 green onion, thinly sliced 1 Tbsp. lime juice or vinegar Salt 1. In a food processor, combine chile pieces and garlic. Cover; process with on/ off turns until finely chopped, stopping and scraping down sides as needed. Cut 1 of the tomatoes into quarters. Add tomato quarters and cilantro to food processor.

Pulse 4 to 6 times or until you have a coarse puree. Transfer tomato mixture to a medium bowl.

2. Cut remaining tomato into 1/4-inch pieces. Add tomato, green onion and lime juice to the bowl. Season to taste with salt, usually 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon. This salsa is best if eaten within an hour or two, but it will keep for a number of hours in the refrigerator.

Opinion NASA has been relegated to the roles of science workshop for children and an international ‘feel good’ outreach program

NASA, an agency that’s gone wrong As I watched the patriotic music and remarks on “A Capitol Fourth” on PBS, I reflected on the state of our beloved nation, as we celebrated our 234th birthday.

Like most of you, I thought of the sacrifices made by generations of Americans to establish, preserve, and protect our exceptional land.

In our lifetime, perhaps the greatest demonstration of American exceptionalism has been the accomplishments of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

In May 1961, when the United States was locked in the Cold War with the Soviet Union, President John F. Kennedy’s “Special Message to Congress on Urgent National Needs” called for “longer strides” which “may hold the key to our future here on Earth.”

He touted the potential of “even more exciting and ambitious exploration of space, perhaps beyond the moon, perhaps to the very end of the solar system itself.”

Mercury astronaut Alan B. Shepard had just become the first American in space three weeks prior to Kennedy’s speech, and John Glenn’s orbital flight was still nearly a year away.

But Kennedy’s greatest challenge was stated later in his remarks. He challenged NASA by stating, “I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to Earth.”

On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11’s lunar module Eagle touched down in the Sea of Tranquility, with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin aboard. Armstrong thrilled the world with his short message, “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”

That was NASA then: This is NASA today. President Barack Obama recently appointed Charles Bolden Jr., retired Marine major general and astronaut, as NASA Administrator.

In an interview with Al Jazeera on June 30, Bolden discussed his mission. He said that President Obama had charged him

with three things: “One was he wanted me to help reinspire children to want to get into science and math, he wanted me to expand our international relationships, and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering.”

Bolden’s trip included a June 15 speech at the American University in Cairo. In that speech, he said in the past NASA worked mostly with countries that are capable of space exploration. But in the future the president wants to expand his partnerships.

“He asked NASA to change by reaching out to ‘non-traditional’ partners and strengthening our cooperation in the Middle East, North Africa, Southeast Asia and in particular in Muslim-majority nations,” Bolden said. “NASA has embraced this charge.”

“NASA is not only a space exploration agency,” Bolden concluded, “but also an earth improvement agency.”

Under the Obama administration, the Federal agency with a record of spectacular technological advancements the past fifty years, has been relegated to the roles of science workshop for children, international “feel good” outreach program, and a progressive social service agency.

Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer addressed the policy by stating: “This is a new height in fatuousness.

NASA was established to get America into space and to keep us there. This idea

to feel good about their past and to make achievements is the worst combination of group therapy, psychobabble, imperial condescension and adolescent diplomacy.”

If you are unfamiliar with the new NASA mission, you are not alone. In their usual mode of protecting this president’s controversial policies, Bolden’s remarks have not been covered by ABC, NBC, CBS, the New York Times or the Washington Post.

Low carbon equals a high cost

Proud of its historical status as the first of the original 13 colonies to ratify the Constitution, Delaware has certainly earned the right to proudly display our first-state motto anywhere and everywhere we can fit it.

Recently Delaware signed another historic pact with many of those same states – this one, aimed at implementing a LowCarbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) on energy markets statewide.

Unlike the Constitution, though, this agreement isn’t about expanding the fruits of freedom and liberty to our citizens. Instead, it sets up a future in which the fuels we rely upon every day to heat our homes and drive to work are more expensive to buy, and much harder to find.

While this “market-based” proposal is being sold by proponents as a way to lower the carbon content of fuel and lower carbon emissions, in reality it couldn’t be further from the truth.

LCFS proponents maintain that it will make fuels cleaner and more efficient, but according to the Environmental Protection Agency, the amount of carbon emitted from the tailpipe per mile traveled is constant – 19.4 pounds of carbon dioxide emitted for every mile traveled. No matter how you look at it, an LCFS can’t change that fact.

So what exactly is an LCFS? Under an LCFS regime, government bureaucrats would determine the fuels available to Delaware according to their lifecycle carbon emissions, which is based on the amount of energy used to produce the fuel. Consequently, heavy crudes will receive a higher lifecycle carbon score under this method, since they require more energy to produce than light crudes.

However, this could be quite problematic for the U.S. since almost 20 percent of our nation’s fuel supplies are derived from Canada and Canadian crude is considered more energy intensive than others. Under an LCFS, these resources would likely be

barred – leaving a significant gap in America’s fuel supplies.

How would this energy gap be filled?

Not by increasing our domestic production, but by increasing energy dependence on the rest of the world. That’s because an LCFS would favor light crudes, which are found in some of the most unstable and unfriendly regions of the world – the Middle East, Nigeria and Libya.

Unfortunately, since Delaware doesn’t produce crude oil and relies on petroleum products being supplied through ports in Wilmington and along the Delaware River, an LCFS could cause the First State to become an isolated fuel island – causing significant cost increases for gasoline, diesel and home heating fuels.

Given that the state’s largest consumer of energy is the industrial sector, now would not be the time for the state to adopt energy policies that will likely increase energy costs and hurt Delaware’s manufacturing and chemical production jobs.

An LCFS would also jeopardize the home heating fuel supplies that one-fifth of Delawareans rely on as their primary heating source each year. Since Delaware required almost $19 million dollars last year in funding from the Low Income Heating Energy Assistance Program, restricting the availability and use of home heating fuel for the residents across Delaware just doesn’t make sense. While the First State has some onshore and offshore wind power resources along the coast and the Delaware Bay, you can’t use wind to heat your home. Not now, and not in the future.

Hasn’t Delaware been through enough this past year? With almost 8 percent of the state currently unemployed across the state, now is the time to make sure that energy is available, affordable and reliable.

Unfortunately, if this LCFS agreement is passed, it could leave Delaware in an even worse economic state and leave its residents out in the cold.

Thomas Jefferson once said that Delaware was like a diamond, small, but of great value. The good news is that Delaware has the opportunity to show its value once again by taking the time to consider the economic and energy impacts of an LCFS and to stop this plan from harming those who depend on these fuels the most.

By leading the way once again, the First State can show its leadership by standing up and saying no to LCFS. Shaun Fink Shaun Fink is the executive vice president at the Caesar Rodney Institute in Millsboro. To reach him, call 302-542-7174.

Financial Regulation Bill lacks real reform, will create problems

By Tom Donohue

President and CEO, U.S. Chamber of Commerce

Our elected officials in Washington have struck again. Just months after passing a tax-raising, job-killing health care bill, Congress is about to approve financial regulatory reform legislation that, ironically, lacks actual reform.

Proponents of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act will undoubtedly hail it as a triumph of Main Street over Wall Street, but they have it backward. It will be small businesses and families shouldering the brunt of this legislation through higher fees, less choice and fewer opportunities to responsibly access credit.

So what does the Dodd-Frank Act do?

For one thing, it calls for more than 350 regulatory rulemakings, 47 studies, 74 reports and counting. This tsunami of new rules and studies will cause tremendous uncertainty, making it harder for businesses to raise capital, make investments and create jobs.

To put this effort into context, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act required 16 rulemakings and 6 studies, which took more than two years to complete. In the meantime, businesses must contend with a bill of which Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-CT), one of its chief architects, remarked, “No one will know until this is actually in place how it works.” If that’s not a recipe for confusion, uncertainty, and litigation, I don’t know what is!

The complications don’t end there. The Chamber believes that you can’t have real reform without reforming the regulators.

So it comes as a disappointment that the Dodd-Frank Act creates even more regulatory agencies on top of a fundamentally flawed, outdated system, instead of fixing the system itself.

These new bodies include the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a sprawling new bureaucracy with unchecked and far-reaching powers that could potentially regulate hundreds of thousands of nonfinancial businesses.

The Dodd-Frank Act will also put American financial firms at a disadvantage by imposing rules and regulations that haven’t been or won’t be adopted globally.

In a world where capital can move easily, it will go to where it is welcome, safe and can generate a decent return.

This new legislation is the equivalent of a “keep out” sign on the front lawn, forcing legitimate business activity to foreign markets that are hungry for additional capital. This will increase the cost of capital here at home, and could further put the squeeze on small businesses.

While the passage of the Dodd-Frank Act marks a sad day for the U.S. economy, jobs and the future of our capital markets, the fight is far from over. The Chamber

will continue to work vigorously through all available avenues — regulatory, legislative and legal — to guarantee appropriate implementation of the bill and to ensure that we have the most efficient, transparent and well-regulated capital markets in the world.

Points to Ponder

When somebody tells you nothing is impossible, ask him to dribble a football. ~ Author Unknown

Last Laugh

The $2.99 special A couple went to breakfast at a restaurant where the seniors’ special was two eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast for $2.99.

“Sounds good,” the wife says. “But I don’t want the eggs.”

“Then, I’ll have to charge you three dollars and forty-nine cents because you’re ordering a la carte,” the waitress warns.

“You mean I’d have to pay for not taking the eggs?” the wife asks.

“Yes,” states the waitress.

“I’ll take the special then,” she replies.

“How do you want your eggs?” the waitress asks.

“Raw and in the shell.”

She takes the eggs home and bakes a cake.
