Laurel adds amenities to park By Tony E. Windsor The new boat ramp edition to the Laurel River Park was opened with a ribbon cutting last month. Laurel Public Works Supervisor, Wood Vickers said since the opening even more has been done to add special amenities to the park and boat ramp. During the Monday, July 19, meeting of Laurel Mayor and Council, Vickers told the council that lighting has been completed in the park and it is now well lit at night. He said the Public Works Department has also installed six more park benches, 10 trash cans, six picnic tables and a bike rack. Laurel Mayor John Shwed said he has heard from citizens who appreciate the new boat ramp and park additions. “I had a citizen stop me in town the other day and he told me that the new boat ramp is first class. I think you

(Vickers) and your staff and the state and federal environmental representatives have done an outstanding job.” The boat ramp has a floating dock and fishing platform. It is located at the entrance to the Laurel River Park off West 6th Street and includes a parking lot large enough to house 10 vehicles with boat trailers, along with 10 single vehicle parking spaces. The town provides ongoing operational expenses and services including such things as utilities, repairs and replacement of all lighting, security and grass cutting and trash removal. The project represents a joint effort between the Town Of Laurel, the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control and the federal Division of Fish and Wildlife. In other Laurel Mayor and Council business, a local church is planning a special “back to school” event in

August and made a presentation before the council for approval. The Living Word Christian Center is planning the “Back 2 School Bash,” to be held on Saturday, Aug. 14 from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. at the corner of Webb Avenue and Seventh Street. Pastor Andre Mollock told the mayor and council that the event will feature a host of family type activities including face painting, games, a jumper and barbecue style food and drinks. Pastor Mollock said the event will also feature free starter book bags with items including paper, pencils and other school supplies. He is also talking with the Laurel Police Department regarding an officer being on hand to give a bus safety and school safety presentation for parents and children. The Mayor and Council approved the event request. A rain date is set for Saturday, Aug. 21.

Three-vehicle collision

On July 27 at 5:30 p.m., Delaware State Police investigated a three vehicle collision on US 113 at Dagsboro Road, Dagsboro. A 2005 Ford Freestyle driven by Charlene Lawrence, 66, of Ocean View, was in the left turn lane of US 113 southbound attempting to turn left onto Dagsboro Road. Lawrence was struck on the passenger’s side of her vehicle by a 1991 Kentworth tractor driven by Lonzo Drummond, 55, of Atlantic, Va., when she disregarded a red traffic turn arrow and attempted to cross the northbound lanes of US 113. The trailer was traveling northbound on US 113. As a result of this collision, the Ford Freestyle was spun around and struck a third vehicle driven by Susan Trout, 47, of Laurel. The third vehicle, a 2005 Ford F-150, was also in the turn lane of US 113 southbound and was struck in the driver’s side by the Ford Freestyle as it spun back toward its original location. Lawrence was airlifted to Beebe Medical Center for back strain and other non-life threatening injuries. There were no other reported injuries. Lawrence was cited for disregarding a red light.

Laurel school board discusses improvements on state test scores

By Carol Kinsley

Laurel School Superintendent Dr. John McCoy started the Board of Education regular meeting July 26 with some upbeat news. Quoting from the News Journal in an article about a worsening problem evidenced by reading scores on state assessment tests, McCoy said, “There were some districts and charter schools that made big gains on the test. Those include Laurel, Woodbridge and Cape Henlopen school districts.” McCoy said, “Our teachers have worked very hard with our children. I thank them and our principles. I look forward to good Delaware Comprehensive Testing this year. Continuing on the good note, McCoy noted that two new modular classrooms, donated by Smyrna School District, have been moved into place and bids for getting them ready for school are coming in. In more good news, Laurel High School is one of two high schools in the state which will be working with Dr. Mehmet Oz in a proactive health program sponsored by Nemours. A health coordinator will be on board Aug. 23, with a mission to deliver the message of healthful living. A report was given by a team which attended a multi-day symposium on air quality in Washington, D.C., recently. Butch Trammell, custodian at the high school, said the sessions had been very informative. “They gave us the tools we need to operate our schools,” he said. “Our schools have a lot of leakage, and you have to change the tile. When moisture gets in, you have to get rid of it or you get mold. We are working on that in our school.” Trammell also said the symposium made him aware that the area where school buses are parking at Dunbar is close to the air handler intake, and bad air is being brought into the school. It was later noted that the buses originally waited for students in a different area, but moved a few years ago. The group suggested a district-wide team, composed of custodians, teachers, coaches, a nurse and cafeteria workers who would attend the next symposium and help catch and correct problems in all the district’s schools.

The same team should visit every school because they would know what to look for. The team could be called a safety team, because there are issues other than air quality that need to be addressed, such as pesticide use. A vocational school in the northern part of the state has instruments for testing air quality which it will lend to the district and show people how to use them. Dr. Dorothy Nave, chair of the Wellness Committee reported on implementation of the wellness policy last year. The policy outlines three goals: 1) Provide opportunities for more physical activity during the regular school day (150 minutes per week is recommended); 2) Improve student conduct; and 3) Increase student and staff awareness of the benefits of breakfast. Every class up through grade 8 has far surpassed the 150-minute goal, with activities at recess, physical education and in the classroom. Positive behavior support is working. In all schools, out-of-school suspensions are down; most schools reduced office referrals. Nave noted that in the elementary schools she has been told a high percentage of office referrals are bus referrals. Nave said there is considerable evidence to support the idea that students who eat breakfast have better attendance, fewer discipline problems and higher achievement than those who do not. The Laurel School District offers a free breakfast, free milk or free juice to every student. Breakfast participation increased in all schools last year. She added that she had just received confirmation that the fresh fruit and vegetable program for grades 2 to 5 last year will be expanded to include pre-K through grade 8. “The beauty of the program is that we provide a piece of fruit or vegetable for every child and every staff member. If we want to fight obesity, we have to set an example, with teachers eating with students. Wrapping up the meeting before going into approval of matters before the board, President Lois Hartstein offered her congratulations on the good test scores. “I want to get that out to the community,” she said. “Accentuate the positive!” Opening the floor to public participa-

tion, Hartstein recognized Jerry White, who brought up the sentence meted out to William S. Hitch Jr., former Laurel schools finance chief. In a deal with prosecutors, Hitch pleaded guilty to three counts and agreed to pay back the $151,000 he stole and serve a year’s probation. White called the sentence “unacceptable” and suggested the school board contact the attorney general, State Senator

Robert Venables and State Representative Biff Lee to express displeasure at how the sentence was handled. Before closing the meeting for executive session, Hartstein noted that a change in venue may be possible in the future so that more people can be a part of school board meetings.

Bill Hearn’s service in Laurel continues almost half of a century later By James Diehl

he rolls of the Laurel Volunteer Fire Department have contained many family names through the years – Scott, Whaley, Lee, the list goes on and on. There’s been only one Bill Hearn, but one is all that was ever needed. The Laurel native joined the fire company in 1963, promising to give the department all that he possibly could. Nearly a half-century later, it’s safe to say he’s lived up to his word. “They kept talking to me and talking to me, so I finally decided to leave the Jaycees and join the fire company,” says Hearn, who has served as the department’s president for the last three years. “I said I was only going to be in one organization. If I was going to devote my time, I only wanted to do one thing and really commit to it.” In the last 47 years, Hearn has seen it all as a member of Station 81. He’s seen town-altering blazes, horrific accidents, changings of the guard and the construction of a new firehouse in 1976. Things have certainly changed since 1963, some for the good and some for the not so good. But one thing has remained constant – the men and women of the Laurel Volunteer Fire Department have remained committed to serving the residents of the small town nestled along the shores of Broad Creek. It’s an area that’s changed dramatically over the years, from the once thriving town that was one of the wealthiest in the state to its role today as one of western Sussex County’s most historic municipalities. Even the landscape isn’t as it once was. Prior to October of 1978, Laurel’s downtown featured no open spaces, only businesses where residents could shop or hotels where they could catch 40 winks. Then came the day of the fire – anyone on the scene that fall day will likely never forget the early morning blaze that destroyed four businesses and kept firemen

Contact James Diehl at 302-222-2685 or email Bryant richardson, brichardson@ mspublications.com on full alert until well into the daytime hours. “When I got there, there was a lot of fire coming out of the Dollar General, which is where the fire started,” says Hearn, who was assistant fire chief at the time. “When we opened the doors, it flashed over and firemen were blown back into the street. It just so happened that none of them got hurt, but the building was soon engulfed in flames.” Extra tankers were brought in from neighboring companies to help fight the fire while other vehicles began pumping water out of Broad Creek. In all, two buildings were totally destroyed, four businesses shut their doors for good and dozens of firemen fought the blaze for hours before returning home for a few well-earned hours of sleep. That day changed Laurel’s downtown forever. The old Dollar General store is now the parking lot for the Wilmington Trust Company. The Laurel House hotel and the two businesses housed there never reopened. “We really lost a good store then that a lot of people shopped at, though we still had stores across the street,” remembers Hearn. “But a lot of people just missed that store, and the hotel, after it was torn down.” The historic downtown blaze began just before 3 o’clock the morning of Oct. 8, 1978, a little more than two years after Hearn served on a committee that helped secure the town’s new fire department on 10th Street.

Laurel native Bill Hearn joined his hometown fire department in 1963 and today serves as its president. The fire chief from 1983-1990, he is also the Laurel Volunteer Fire Department’s first and only chief emeritus.

The much larger building provided the fire department with more room for equipment, a bigger kitchen and a banquet hall that could be rented out for additional income. In a way, it also symbolized a shift from the old guard of the Laurel Volunteer Fire Department to the newer, younger members. In some aspects, the transition was seamless, in other ways, not so much. That transition has continued through today, though attracting young people to the fire department in the 21st century has proven to be a bit challenging. “In some ways, it doesn’t seem like the younger people today have the interest in it that we did back in those days,” says Hearn. “We were just a whole lot closer back then. We had picnics and did a whole lot of things together. It’s just a change in the times I guess.” Hearn has held many of the positions in the fire company, including vice presi-

dent, assistant chief, engineer, ambulance captain and his current role as president of Station 81. He also served as chief of the company from 1983 until 1990. Through it all, there’s always been a great deal of pride in riding down the road in the big red, bulldog emblazoned, fire truck, ready to fight any blaze that comes his way. But during those seven years as chief, there’s one fire that stands out above all the rest. It was as intense a blaze as the long-time firefighter has ever seen, one he’ll never forget. “It was at Paradee Oil Company out on the highway, and it was the worst one I ever saw,” remembers Hearn. “It was especially scary because all of the gas tanks were blowing up. When I pulled up, it was a really scary situation; the boys all said I was quite excited on the radio that day.” Two of the company’s three gas tanks had caught on fire, shooting flames several

dozen feet up into the Laurel sky. It was some time before a combination of water and foam got the fire under control – several tankers were brought in, causing a closure of the north side of Route 13. “I just told them to get me all the equipment they could get me because we had no water out there on the highway,” says Hearn. “I knew it was going to take a lot of water to put it out. Seaford brought in their aerial unit and we finally were able to put some foam on the top of it, but it was a while before we could do that.” Hearn has seen about everything there is to see in the last 47 years, including a horrific fire in the ‘80s near Bethel that claimed three innocent lives. He can pretty much handle all of it – he even witnessed a car accident once where the out-of-state driver was decapitated after colliding with a big rig on the highway. But the one thing that really gets to him is seeing the youngest among us hurt in any way. That, he says, takes a little longer

to get over. “I don’t know what it is about the small children. But when they get hurt, it affects you a little different,” Hearn admits. “It’s just something that you have to get over, but it’s much harder to do that, at least for me.” While still enjoying his hometown today, Hearn remembers a Laurel that pretty much revolved around the old drive-in theater out on Route 13. It was the gathering place for young people, not only from Laurel, but from throughout western Sussex County. Today, the old theater is long since gone, but its memory lives on in Hearn and thousands of other men and women who grew up in Laurel in the 1950s and 1960s. “That was where the big hangout was when I was going to school. That’s pretty much where you hung out, where everybody came to hang out,” says Hearn. “Back then, that was about all we had.

Laurel has really changed a lot since then.” Maybe so, but one thing that hasn’t changed is the pride and commitment Hearn, and others before and after him, have had in the Laurel Volunteer Fire Department. The first and, as yet, only chief emeritus of the fire company, Hearn still spends a lot of time in his familiar surroundings on 10th Street. Though he’s admittedly slowed down “a bit,” he still goes out on fires from time to time and even drives the ambulance when he’s needed. He doesn’t get too involved now, at 71-years-old, but he is still known to frequent burning buildings from time to time to “help with the hoses and things like that.” He’s never wavered in his support of the organization or of the town where he’s lived his entire life. “I don’t think I could have given them any more than I have. I feel like I’ve done what I signed up to do, and I’m still do-

ing more than I probably should,” he says. “But I’m the type of person that, when I make up my mind to do something, I do it and I put my heart into it.” In 2013, Bill Hearn will celebrate 50 years with the Laurel Volunteer Fire Department. His wife, Bonnie, is the current two-term president of the department’s ladies auxiliary. In addition to serving in many of the positions within the fire company, Hearn was also the Laurel Volunteer Fire Department’s fireman of the year in 1995, named to the Fireman’s Historical Association Hall of Fame in 1999 and was honored as the Fireman of the Year for Sussex County in 2003. It’s been a distinguished career, one that’s not over quite yet. “It’s just a great honor to serve in an organization like this,” he says bluntly. “I was asked to get in and, when I did, it just seemed like I put my heart into it. “And I still do today.”

MORNING STAR • July 29 - AuG. 4, 2010

Delaware Tech graduate serves as Justice of the Peace Michelle Jewell, a 2009 human services graduate of Delaware Technical & Community College, Owens Campus is currently serving a four-year term as a Justice of the Peace in Sussex County. The Lincoln resident of Colombian descent was sworn in by Superior Court Judge E. Scott Bradley on Feb. 1. Jewell, 33, was born in Washington, D.C. and raised in Silver Spring, Md. Before deciding to pursue a career in human services, she served in a variety of occupations: scientific journal editor/reviewer, grant writer, a Latin American representative for an electronics company, victims advocate and owned Elite Services Group, an interpretation and translation agency in Georgetown. Jewell met her husband, a Milford native, in Washington, D.C., and they soon moved to Sussex County. Prior to studying at Delaware Tech, she earned an associate degree in international business from Northwood University in Florida and studied business at Salisbury University. While working as a victims’ advocate, Jewell realized that she wanted to change her direction from business to human services and enrolled at Delaware Tech. “As a victims’ advocate, I had direct contact with the community and saw firsthand that it was lacking in human services,” she said. Three of her careers familiarized Jewell with the court system and piqued her inter-

est in applying for a position as Justice of the Peace. “As a court interpreter, victims’ advocate, and working with my agency, I got to see the court system every day,” said Jewell. The process of being selected for Justice of the Peace was long and competitive. Jewell applied for the position and sat for an exam along with hundreds of other applicants. After a criminal background check, Jewell received a letter stating that she would be contacted soon for an interview. The interview took place over the phone while she was on vacation in Costa Rica. Later, she received a follow-up letter and call stating that her name had been sent to Gov. Markell. Jewell was notified by Lydia Prigg, Delaware director of boards & commissions, that the governor had appointed her and one other nominee to serve in Sussex County. She then met in person with Alan Davis, Delaware’s chief magistrate, and Prigg. Her appointment was made official upon confirmation by the state Senate. She is very excited about her new position and has been inspired by her conversations with senior judges. “I love that after many years of being on the bench, every single judge has told me that this is the best job; that really says a lot about a position,” said Jewell. “I know that I can potentially have a position that I will love the rest of my life as well.”

Supreme Court Judge E. Scott Bradley stands with Michelle Jewell after swearing her in as a Justice of the Peace.

Jewell is now serving her initial fouryear appointment as Justice of the Peace; if reinstated, she will serve for additional six-year terms. She believes her human services degree from Delaware Tech helped prepare her for this new role.

“I think there is a human services component to being a judge,” said Jewell. “Everyone should be treated with respect and dignity.” “Michelle’s natural ability augmented with skills she has learned at Delaware Tech should help her with listening, understanding and addressing the needs of her constituency,” said Dr. T.J. Mumford, human services department chair. Dr. Mumford explained that a human services degree equips students to work with people of all ages from children to seniors in a variety of occupations including social work, counseling, and coaching. As Sussex County’s only Hispanic Justice of the Peace, Jewell is in a unique position to serve as a tremendous asset to the county. “Sussex County has a large Hispanic community,” said Jewell. “Maybe some of its members will feel more comfortable with a judge who also is of Hispanic descent.” Jewell is bilingual and pointed out that even though proceedings are conducted in English, she will understand what Spanishspeaking interpreters are saying and can make sure information is translated correctly. “Michelle Jewell is a prime example of the high caliber of Delaware Tech’s graduates,” said Dr. Ileana Smith, vice president and campus director. “We are very proud that she was selected to serve the citizens of Sussex County.”

Sports training for your athlete By Dr. Kathleen O’Brien

Summertime means long days and plenty of time to play outdoors. Many coaches also take advantage of this time to get their teams ready for the fall season. With some 30 million school-aged children taking part in organized sports, inKathleen O’Brien juries are inevitable. In fact, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), roughly 3 million children ages 14 and under are injured annually while playing sports or participating in a recreational activity. And in kids ages 5 – 17, one in five trips to the emergency room are due to sports-related injuries. Kids are more at risk for injury than adults for a variety of reasons. They are less coordinated, have a slower reaction time, their bones and muscles are still growing and they are more likely to take risks. Overuse is another big problem. When kids play sports all year long, with little or no rest in between seasons, this causes more strain on their growing bodies. Less recovery time leads to a variety of injuries of varying severity. With proper preparation by kids, coaches and parents, a large number of sportsrelated injuries can be avoided. Here are some of the most common types of injuries and ways to prevent them. Heatstroke and dehydration are big risks to kids involved in sports during the summer and early fall months. Working out in heavy gear, running long distances or having long practices require frequent breaks and the drinking of fluids. For most practices under an hour, water is the drink of choice. In the heat, and for practices that last more than one hour, sports drinks should be offered as well. Drinking fluids before, during and after playing sports will help to keep kids hydrated. And on very hot and humid days, practices should be held either early morning or early evening to avoid the hottest parts of the day. Acute injuries happen suddenly and are usually associated with some form of trauma. They can range in severity from scrapes, bruises, sprains and strains to broken bones, torn ligaments, eye injuries and brain injuries. Acute injuries often occur due to a lack of proper equipment or improper use of equipment. For example, helmets should always be worn in sports like football, lacrosse, baseball and softball. They should be in good shape and fit well. Protective eyewear can prevent injuries in basketball or racquet sports. Knee and elbow pads can prevent joint injury due to falls that happen often among children. Overuse injuries occur from repetitive motion that puts too much stress on the bones and muscles. These types of injuries are especially problematic for kids because they can affect bone growth. Common overuse injuries include damage to the knees, elbows, shoulders, shins, ankles, back, and hips, and can be diagnosed as tendonitis, stress fractures, or even growth plate issues de-

pending on the severity of the injury. A focus on prevention, sometimes referred to as “prehab,” can help prevent injuries. Proper warm-up, stretching, strength training, good mechanics, as well as knowing how and when to rest are all vital to overuse injury prevention. Reinjuries take place when an athlete returns to the sport before an injury has time to heal. This can lead to further, or permanent, damage. For example, one concussion, an injury to the brain, can be dangerous. But if a child, or adult for that matter, returns to play before being medically cleared by a doctor and has another concussion, the result can be permanent brain damage or even death. Other things to consider: • All kids should have a physical before beginning any sport. Pre-screenings can clear kids to play and can identify any condition that could put a child at risk for injury. • No playing through pain. Kids may think they’re helping the team, but they are only hurting themselves. If a child complains of a chronic ache or pain, see a doctor right away. Additionally, if your child suffers any type of head injury, look for signs of a concussion - headache, confusion, dizziness, forgetfulness, nausea, or change in behavior — and seek medical attention immediately. • Returning to play means taking proper precautions to ensure reinjury does not occur. Depending on the injury this could mean taping the affected area, new protective gear, wearing a brace or involve a formal physical therapy/rehab plan. • Know the rules and encourage safe play. Get to know your child’s coaches to see what their philosophy is on safety and injury prevention. Make sure your child’s coaches include proper warm-up and cool down exercises with every practice. • Don’t push. Sports should be fun and teach kids life lessons about teamwork, problem solving and good sportsmanship. Pushing your child to excel and win-at-allcosts can cause emotional stress, overuse injuries and burnout. For more tips and detailed information about getting back in the game, visit KidsHealth.org.

Gas Lines

One word describes last week’s gas prices – unchanged – and that’s just fine by motorists. The national average price for regular grade gasoline remained at $2.72 a gallon everyday this week through Friday – 23 cents higher than year ago prices, but still $1.39 less than the record of $4.11 set in July 2008. This marks the tenth consecutive week gas prices have remained below $2.90 a gallon. Crude Oil Prices Crude oil saw modest gains last week and even hit a three-month high early Friday near $80 a barrel supported by news that Tropical Storm Bonnie, the second named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, will swirl into the Gulf of Mexico near where BP is cleaning up the massive oil spill.

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. Crude retreated briefly mid-week as Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke expressed concerns about the U.S. economic recovery, which remains sluggish. And economic uncertainty over results of bank stress tests in Europe caused oil to retreat again Friday morning. A look ahead “We saw gasoline demand rebound last week, which could very well be due to the stability we’ve seen at the pumps throughout the summer driving season,” said Jana L. Tidwell, acting manager of Public and Government Affairs for AAA Mid-Atlantic. Local pricing On Monday gas stations from Delmar to Greenwood were selling regular gasoline in a range from $2.529 to $2.659 a gallon. The high is one penny lower than a week ago, the low is the same as a week ago.

Goodwill receives $90,000 grant

Goodwill of Delaware and Delaware County has been awarded a $90,000 Community Services Block Grant from First State Community Action Agency to provide a second year of funding for Goodwill’s family strengthening initiative. First State Community Action Agency works with individuals and communities to overcome the challenges of unemployment, homelessness, substandard living conditions and hunger in Delaware. The grant awarded to Goodwill — Delaware’s oldest social services organization — will provide funding for comprehensive case management services to low-income unemployed and underemployed adult residents living in New Castle and Kent Counties. The goal of the family strengthening program is to improve the economic status of local residents by offering assistance to find meaningful employment or obtain in-demand job skills through training. Goodwill will also provide referrals and resources in the areas of education, housing and transportation for approximately 160 families enrolled in the program. “In its second year, our family strengthening program is showing results in moving participants closer to self-sufficiency, which is a key to our mission to the community,” said Colleen Morrone, chief mission officer for Goodwill of Delaware.

Homebuyer credit closing update

St. John’S houSe tour - Pictured are Joyce Allen and Bob and Dorie Cummings, whose homes will be open for the St. John’s U.M. Church house tours on Oct. 7, 2010. Other homes on the tour include those of Dr. and Mrs. Tom Benz, Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Collins, Mr. and Mrs. Boyd Mitchell, Sudler House (Mr and Mrs. Richard Calhoun), Sandy Sutton and Blades U.M. Church.

The deadline for the completion of qualifying First-Time Homebuyer Credit purchases has been extended. Taxpayers who entered into a binding contract before the end of April now have until Sept. 30, 2010 to close on the home. The Homebuyer Assistance and Improvement Act of 2010, enacted on July 2, 2010, extended the closing deadline from June 30 to Sept. 30 for eligible homebuyers who entered into a binding purchase contract on or before April 30 to close on the purchase of the home on or before June 30, 2010. Here are five facts from the IRS about the First-Time Homebuyer Credit and how to claim it. 1. If you entered into a binding contract on or before April 30, 2010 to buy a principal residence located in the United States you must close on the home on or before Sept. 30, 2010. 2. To be considered a first-time homebuyer, you and your spouse – if you are married – must not have jointly or separately owned another principal residence during the three years prior to the date of purchase.

3. To be considered a long-time resident homebuyer, your settlement date must be after Nov. 6, 2009 and you and your spouse – if you are married – must have lived in the same principal residence for any consecutive five-year period during the eight-year period that ended on the date the new home is purchased. 4. The maximum credit for a first-time homebuyer is $8,000. The maximum credit for a long-time resident homebuyer is $6,500. 5. To claim the credit you must file a paper return and attach Form 5405, First Time Homebuyer Credit, along with all required documentation, including a copy of the binding contract. New homebuyers must attach a copy of the properly executed settlement statement used to complete the purchase. Long-time residents are encouraged to attach documentation covering the five-consecutive-year period such as Form 1098, Mortgage Interest Statements, property tax records or homeowner’s insurance records. For more information, visit IRS.gov/ recovery.

This fall, hunters will be interested in a number of changes, including a new crossbow season, a statewide red fox season, use of pellet firearms for squirrel hunting and licensing changes, the DNREC Division of Fish and Wildlife recently announced. “Two changes that generated a great deal of public interest were the crossbow and red fox hunting seasons,” said Wildlife Program Manager Ken Reynolds. “We had a full house at our March public hearing and most of the comments were about these two topics.” Starting this fall, crossbows may be used by all hunters during a general crossbow season that will run from Sept. 1, 2010 through Jan. 31, 2011. During any overlap with a deer gun season, crossbow hunters must wear 400 square inches of hunter orange as do gun hunters. A new regulation establishes a statewide hunting season for red fox that will run from Nov. 1, 2010 through Feb. 28, 2011. Following the recent passage of a revised statute by the Delaware General Assembly, the new season was created to allow the Division to manage the species. “We want to manage red fox like other furbearer species in Delaware,” said Wildlife Administrator Greg Moore, adding that hunters have been requesting a red fox season for many years. Two very important statutory changes approved by the Legislature and taking effect this year involve licenses and hunting safety zones. Hunting licenses no longer have to be displayed in a back tag but must be carried on your person while hunting. The safety zone for hunting with archery devices, including crossbows, has been reduced to 50 yards. Gun hunting safety zones were not changed. Another regulatory change this year is that hunters and trappers who are exempt from licensing due to age or property ownership will be required to obtain a Hunter and Trapper Identification Number. Like a license, this number must be carried by the hunter or trapper when they are in the field. To obtain this number, hunters can call 877-939-3678 toll-free or visit www.

dehip.com. Squirrel hunters will also see a regulatory change this season with the addition of .17 through .22 caliber pellet firearms to the list of those allowed for hunting in Delaware. These guns must have rifled barrels. For more information on hunting season changes, consult the 2010 Delaware Hunting and Trapping Guide, call the DNREC Wildlife Section at 302-739-9912, or visit http://regulations.delaware.gov/register/july2010/final/index.shtml#TopOfPage and scroll down to the DNREC Division of Fish and Wildlife section to view the regulations.

Surplus produce feeds hungry As summer’s crop of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, string beans and more begins to sprout, the Food Bank of Delaware encourages local gardeners and farmers to keep the food bank mind as they harvest their summer bounty – surplus fruits and vegetables may be donated to Delawareans in need. Produce donations to the food bank are critical in ensuring that low-income adults and children receive proper nutrition. Often low-income individuals must choose between paying their rent or mortgage and buying a bag of groceries. To stretch food dollars, disadvantaged shoppers typically choose foods that are inexpensive, high in calories and lacking nutritional value. “A recent study by the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation indicates that Delaware is the 20th obese state in the country,” said Food Bank President and CEO Patricia Beebe. “And disparities exist between obesity rates and income. More than a third of adults earning less than $15,000 per year were obese compared

with roughly a quarter of adults earning $50,000 or more per year. By placing an emphasis on fresh fruits and vegetables for low-income Delawareans we hope to close these disparities.” Last year the Food Bank of Delaware distributed close to three million pounds of produce from the food industry, local gardeners and farmers to Delawareans in need. It doesn’t take much produce from an individual’s garden to make a real impact. The average harvest from a packet of lightweight vegetable seeds such as snap beans weighs about 20 pounds. And dense vegetables such as carrots produce about 100 pounds. To donate your surplus to the Food Bank of Delaware, stop by the Newark (14 Garfield Way) or Milford (1040 Mattlind Way) warehouse weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Farmers interested in making a donation to the Food Bank of Delaware may contact Charlotte McGarry at 302-294-0194. All donations are taxdeductible.

Penalties increase for firearms

Criminals who illegally carry a concealed firearm will now face longer prison sentences under a law Governor Jack Markell signed recently that was written by Attorney General Beau Biden’s office. Specifically, House Bill 226: • Enhances the penalty when an individual is arrested for carrying a concealed firearm by increasing the maximum jail sentence from two years to eight years • Adds the charge of carrying a concealed deadly weapon to Delaware’s list of violent felonies when that weapon is a firearm. Under Delaware’s sentencing guidelines, crimes classified as violent felonies are subject to higher presumptive sentences, and habitual offenders charged with this crime now face mandatory jail terms. Sen. Brian Bushweller, D-Dover, the bill’s chief Senate sponsor said he hopes the bill will have a deterrent effect on gun crime. “This is a very narrowly targeted bill that increases penalties only for carrying a concealed weapon when that weapon is a firearm,” he said. “By increasing the felony penalty, we’re sending a message that this is serious and it is my hope that it will make someone think twice before using a concealed gun to commit a crime.” House Bill 226 was passed unanimously by the Delaware House and Senate.

Soybean farmers from 10 states, Canada plan Mid-Atlantic tour Soybean farmers from 10 northern states and one from Canada will launch a three-day, four-state tour of agricultural enterprises and Cooperative Extension research facilities in the Mid-Atlantic on Aug. 4 as part of American Soybean Association’s Regional Exchange and Awareness Program (REAP). Sponsors of the annual tour, which takes northern farmers south and viceversa, are the United Soybean Board, Novus International and Bayer CropScience. The Mid-Atlantic Soybean Association (MASA) will be the southern host, while southern farmers this year will visit Iowa. All farmer-leaders come away from these tours with new friends, new information and a new awareness of agriculture in different states. The REAP tour has been offered since 1991, helping U.S. soybean producers to build the relationships necessary to maintain a strong and proactive voice on behalf of farm-related legislative priorities in Washington, D.C.

The 2010 “southern” program kicks off on Aug. 3 at the Comfort Inn BWI in Linthicum, Md., where guests and MASA representatives will celebrate MASA’s 40th anniversary. Aboard a 56-passenger bus, the tour will stop at Beltsville Agricultural Research Center just outside Washington, D.C., on Aug. 4 before heading across the Chesapeake Bay to Schillinger Genetics and the Wye Research and Education Center in Queenstown, Md., and a barbecue at the farm of Alan and Hans Schmidt in Sudlersville. After staying overnight in Dover, the group will head south on Aug. 5 to visit Kenny Brothers Produce in Bridgeville, Laurel Auction Market and Allen Family Foods’ solar-powered poultry house in Laurel, Perdue AgriRecycle in Blades — all before lunch at the Carvel Research and Education Center in Georgetown. Delaware Ag Secretary Ed Kee and USDA Rural Development State Director Jack Tarburton, among others, will travel with

Thunderstorms pose a severe threat to unprepared motorists Midway through the summer driving season, motorists have undoubtedly learned to cope with the extreme heat. However, with the extreme summer heat comes another issue motorists never quite seem prepared to deal with – thunderstorms. Summertime is prime season for thunderstorms. High humidity and rapidly rising warm temperatures create a mass of warm, moist air rising into the atmosphere, where a thunderstorm is likely to form. “Thunderstorms are a severe summer car crash risk, causing poor visibility, intense lightening strikes, increased winds, hail and flash flooding,” said Jana L. Tidwell, acting manager of Public and Government Affairs for AAA Mid-Atlantic. The best solution during a storm is to monitor weather conditions carefully and, if possible, avoid being on the road. Follow these tips to keep you safe. • Replace windshield wiper blades yearly to ensure good visibility during inclement weather. Also, keep your windows clean on the outside, as well as the inside of your windshield. • Check your tire pressure and tread. Over or under-inflated tires can be dangerous, and balding tires do not provide good traction (especially in wet road conditions). • Emergency Kit – have a kit packed in your car at all times in case you become trapped and need water, flashers, blankets, jumper cables, tire compressor, wiper fluid, kitty litter and a shovel (to help with traction on muddy, slippery roads or in-

clines), etc. • Slow down – when road conditions become wet, slow down, don’t make sudden moves and leave a safe following distance between you and the car in front of you. • Do not use cruise control as the chance of losing control of your vehicle increases – if you begin to experience a skid, the system may interpret the skidinduced reduction in speed as a need to apply more engine power, making it harder to recover from a skid. • Headlights – put them on at the first sign of darkness or decreased visibility. In Delaware, and many other states, it is the law to turn on your headlights you’re your windshield wipers are on. • Hazards – turn on your hazard lights to indicate to other drivers that upcoming road conditions are severe. • Pull over – blinding rain can make visibility next to impossible, slowly pull over to a safe place on the side of the road or parking lot until the storm passes to avoid hitting another car, bicyclist or pedestrian. • Radio – listen to local weather reports to track fastmoving storms. • Avoid puddles – because rain can be intense, puddles can form quickly and there’s no telling just how deep they are, so it’s best to avoid them. • Brake slowly – avoid slamming on the breaks, as this may cause your car to hydroplane. • Stay alert – get rid of distractions, such as music and cell phones, so you can concentrate on driving.

the group. Dr. Robin Morgan, dean of the University of Delaware’s College of Agriculture, and Bill Satterfield, executive director of Delmarva Poultry Industry Inc. will be among the speakers in Georgetown. Dinner will be aboard the Cape May-Lewes Ferry enroute to New Jersey. On Aug. 6, the group will tour Vineland Produce Auction, then lunch on the farm of MASA director Byron DuBois in Pittsgrove, N.J. Visits to a mushroom farm near Kennett Square, Pa., “mushroom capital of the world,” and North Creek Nurseries in Landenberg, Pa., will wrap up the tour before returning to Baltimore. Tour director Carol Kinsley, former MASA executive director, noted that poultry litter is used for mushroom growing media and that the spent mushroom compost is used in growing media for plants produced in nurseries, so the group will have followed a complete cycle, starting with soybeans fed to chickens. Farmer participants hale from Ohio, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan,

Minnesota, Nebraska, both Dakotas and Ontario, Canada. For more information on the REAP program, visit www.soygrowers.com/reap. For MAS membership information, contact Executive Director Steve Connelly at 202445-9955 or connelly@captsone-nch.com.

Delmar 10-11 baseball team comes home with a state title

By Mike McClure

The Delmar 10-11-year-old all-star baseball team returned from Hagerstown last week with a state title after defeating Halfway, 6-3, in the championship game. On Friday night the team was saluted with a ride in the Delmar Fire Department’s fire trucks to the site of the department’s annual men’s softball tournament where they were cheered on by their fans. On Thursday, Jimmy Adkins pitched five innings and struck out four on the mound for Delmar, which jumped out to a 3-1 lead after two innings of play before Halfway knotted the score in the third. Delmar came back to take a 6-3 lead and

Hunter Frey came on in the sixth to close the game out. Isaac Austin singled and drove in a run; Taylor Cox and Dylan Barlow each had a single, a double, and an RBI; and Austin Rhodes contributed two hits and two RBIs. Delmar defeated Halfway, 7-5, last Monday as Tim Ward struck out six in four and two thirds innings and Adkins added a strikeout in one and two thirds innings of work for Delmar. Austin had two hits including a double and drove in a run and Cox collected three hits including a double and had two RBIs. See page 44 for photos from the team’s parade through Delmar.

Laurel Major League softball team earns return trip to regionals By Mike McClure

The Laurel Major League all-star softball team earned a return trip to the Eastern Regionals in Albany, N.Y., with three wins in the state tournament last week in Milford. Laurel’s 11-1 win over Canal (District II) gave the team its second straight state title. Canal took a 1-0 lead in the first inning before Laurel came back with two runs in the third, six in the fourth, and three in the fifth. Shelby Murphy went 1-3 with two runs; Kortney Lee was 1-4 with a pair of runs; Rachel Davis added two doubles and two runs; Sara James tripled and scored a run; and Morgan Joseph was 2-3 with two runs. Regan Green chipped in with a hit and an RBI, Destinee Banks had a hit and a run, and Sabrina Savage scored a run. Green allowed one run on a walk and struck out 15 in the win. “It feels good. I wanted to go back to New York,” Green said. “We won the first game for Delaware up there (last year),” added Murphy, whose team lost the rest of its games at regionals. “We should do better this year,” said Green, who pointed out that the team has

added depth on the mound this year. Laurel opened the state tournament with a 6-4 win over Canal before blanking Milford, 5-0, on its home field on Thursday. On Thursday, Kortney Lee singled and scored on an error, Davis walked and beat the throw home on a fielder’s choice, and Savannah Brown reached on the fielder’s choice and scored on a single by Green for a 3-0 Laurel lead in the first inning. In the second, Murphy walked and scored on an error and Lee walked and came home on a wild pitch (5-0). That was all the District III champs needed as Green sent Milford down in order in the sixth inning to seal the win. Green allowed no runs, no hits, and no base runners and struck out 16 in six innings of work. Laurel opens Eastern Regionals play this Saturday at 9 a.m. against New Jersey. The team also plays Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. The team has added experience this year with seven team members returning from last year’s squad. “I think with the experience from last year, the girls will know more of what to expect. It’s a hard schedule to play day after day,” Laurel manager Brad Lee said following his team’s win in the state championship.

Laurel earns a pair of wins to earn berth in World Series

The Woodbridge Senior League all-star softball team entered the week looking for a win against to earn a berth in the World Series in Roxana. Laurel topped Woodbridge, 2-0, on Monday to force a final game on Tuesday with Laurel picking up the 2-1 win in eight innings in a hard fought contest. “It’s great because I wouldn’t let them get down. I told them if something happens and we fall behind, don’t give up,” said Laurel manager Kenny Willey, whose team came out of the loser’s bracket after falling to Woodbridge in the first of three matchups between the two teams. Tuesday’s win gave Laurel a berth in the Senior League World Series (also in Roxana). Laurel Little League has sent a team to the World Series in six of the seven years it has been played there including the past four years. On Tuesday, Woodbridge’s Hailey Andrews and Laurel’s Logan Green squared off in a pitcher’s duel. Each team had just one hit going into the bottom of the fifth inning when Alison Pusey doubled in Carile Joseph to give Laurel a 1-0 lead. Woodbridge answered with a run in the sixth inning as Amber Callahan walked and stole second before scoring on a single by Kassidy Gallo. Laurel threatened in the bottom of the seventh when Kristen Collins hit a leadoff double, but Andrews got a strikeout and a pair of ground outs to get out of the inning. Woodbridge stranded a runner in the top of the eighth, then Laurel went to work in the bottom of the inning. Sara Jo Whaley hit a one-out single and motored to third base on an error. Andrews induced a pop out for the second out of the inning before Kelsey Willey singled off Andrews’ leg and dove into first base to beat the throw as Whaley came home to score the winning run. Andrews allowed two runs on five hits and struck out six in eight innings in the tough luck loss. Green recorded 12 strikeouts and gave up one run on three hits for the win. Laurel 2, Woodbridge 0- Laurel broke up a scoreless contest in the top of the sixth inning during Monday’s game as Nicole Ullman doubled and scored on a ground out by Pusey. Kristen Collins walked and scored on a wild pitch in the top of the seventh to make the score 2-0 before Bree Venables sent Woodbridge down in order for the victory. Kim Gallo collected a pair of hits and Callahan added one hit for Woodbridge. Pusey had a pair of hits for Laurel.

Shown (l to r) are Mia Brown, Twisters Gymnastics coach/owner Carmella Solito, Abi Brown, TyAnna Handy, and coach Carrie Baker. The three Laurel gymnasts are pursuing other sports in the fall after having great success for the Twisters.

Laurel gymnasts end their season, gymnastics careers

Twisters Gymnastics in Berlin has dominated the sport of gymnastics in the state over the last few years. This season the Twisters’ Level 5 team took first place in eight of 10 competitions and were the Level 5 state champions, and the Maryland Team Cup champions. The dedicated coaching staff, a commitment to excellence, and talented athletes have contributed to the programs success. Laurel gymnasts Abigail (Abi) Brown, Michaela (Mia) Brown, and TyAnna Handy have been an instrumental part of that success. At the 2010 Maryland Level 5 Championship in the Child D division, Abi placed second on bars with a 9.625, fifth on floor with a 9.325, seventh on beam with a 9.125, and seventh on vault with an 8.975. She placed third all-around with a score of 37.050. In the Senior B division, Mia placed third on floor with a 9.450, fifth on beam with a 9.150, seventh on bars with a 9.150, and 14th on vault with an 8.725. She placed seventh all-around with a score of 36.475. Competing in the Junior D division, TyAnna placed second on vault with a 9.175, first on bars with a 9.700, first on beam with a 9.450, and first on floor with a 9.725. She placed first all-around with a score of 38.050. Out of 300 competing gymnasts, she had the fourth highest all-around score placing her on the Level 5 Maryland state team. The three girls have had great success over the years with gymnastics, however, they are pursuing other sports this fall and will not return to gymnastics this upcoming season.

Delmarva auto alley Racing is hot this summer at the Speedway in Delmar By Bonnie Nibblett

This summer has been very, very hot with temps in the three digits many times. The racing action at Delmar has been just as impressive and just as hot. This month’s action at the Delaware International Speedway included the 38th Annual Camp Barnes Benefit, “Topless Night,” “All Out 100,” and, this weekend, URC Sprints will return to the half mile clay oval. The 38th annual Camp Barnes Benefit races had a good pay day for the winners of each feature on July 6. Rick Laubach of Quakertown, Pa., took home $3,600 with the big block Modified win and the remaining Top 5 were Billy Pauch, Jimmy Horton, Kenny Brightbill and Matt Jester. The Super Late Model was won by local Kenny Pettyjohn of Millsboro, taking home $3,275. The remaining Top 5 were David Hill, Ross Robinson, Devin Friese and Rob Schirmer. The other divisions had a nice payday as well, as each class received lap money for each lap led. The AC Delco Top 5 were Jon Callaway, Harrington; Shawn Ward; Justin Griffith; Greg Taylor Jr.; and Michael White. The Crate Model was won by Nick Davis, Millsboro; Chris Hitchens; Joe Warren; Mike Wharton; and Clint Chalabala. The Top 5 in Mod Lite went to Tim White, Salisbury, Md.; Kerry King Jr.; Brandon Dennis; Kevin McKinney; and Lynn Knepper. The Little Lincoln Vintage Stock Car winner was Bill Brittingham, Viola; Jeff Wheatley; Mel Joseph Jr.; Brian Brasure; and Emory West. The weather was super hot that night, but the support by fans made all the difference as this benefit provides most monies to run the camp. The show was broadcast live on the radio, vendors were selling their wares and it was a fantastic show of racing. A few weeks ago the track held the first “All Out 100,” which includes all features

and no qualifying or heats. The top 20 drivers in each division were only allowed to participate. The field lineup was drawn by a fan, and some of the positions were inverted making it a special night. Each division was brought out on the track before their features with the drivers each being introduced to the fans. It’s not often fans get to see the drivers up that close and out of their stock cars. The fans really loved it. The winners in each class went to Matt Jester, Donald Lingo Jr., Nick Davis, Westley Smith and Kevin McKinney in mod lites. For a complete list of winners, visit the track’s website at www.delawareracing.com. The U.S. 13 Dragway is running on Friday nights with a big turn out each night. Ben Parks leads the points in Pro Race, Phillip Truitt in Pro, Charles Nock in Super Bike, Crystal Hudson in Street Eliminator, Kody Mariner in Jr. Dragster I, Amy Joe Jackson in Jr. Dragster II. Summit ET Racing Series continues this Friday night. Call the track hotline for more race information at 846-3968; gates open 3:30 p.m. with time trials starting at 4:30 p.m. The U.S. 13 Kart Track will run this Friday, July 30, with a club race and a Jr. Unrestricted Pro Race. Gates open at 5 p.m. and admission is $5; come out and see the future racers. Check the track’s website at www.dekarting.net for details. The next DDDS State race is next Saturday, Aug. 7. The three tracks are in the Delaware Motorsports Complex located on Rt. 13, in Delmar. Visit www.redbu69racing.com for racing action or visit us on FaceBook and become a friend.

Health Volunteer child advocates needed

You can make a difference in the life of an abused or neglected child.

CASA volunteers have varied professional, educational and ethnic backgrounds. They are selected on the basis of their objectivity, competence and commitment. Training, supervision and attorney representation are provided. For more information and to apply to become a CASA volunteer, call the CASA office at 855-7410 or 855-7411.

Lead paint protection law

Legislation signed into law by Governor Jack Markell will dramatically expand the number of Delaware children who receive screening for heightened lead levels in their blood at the critical age of two. The law, written by Lieutenant Governor Matt Denn, Senator Patricia Blevins, and Representative Terry Schooley, will take effect 60 days after the issuance of final regulations by the Delaware Division of Public Health. Prior to enactment of the new law,

Delaware law only required lead testing of children at age 1. The new law requires that physicians also test some children for elevated lead at age 2. Doctors will decide which children to give a second test for lead at age 2 based upon a risk screening mechanism to be developed by the state’s Division of Public Health. The American Academy of Pediatrics states that lead levels peak in children at age 2. Therefore, testing at-risk children at age 2 in addition to testing all children at age 1 will allow doctors to detect more children with elevated lead levels and allow enforcement officials to address the environments in which those children are being exposed to lead. Elevated blood levels have been demonstrated to have a devastating impact on children’s central nervous systems, with symptoms that include reduced IQ and a myriad of behavioral problems.

Get healthy with the grandkids

Everyone will agree the bond between grandparents and their grandchildren is unique, unconditional and has strength like no other. CHEER has joined forces with Nemours Health & Prevention and the Sussex Child Health Promotion Coalition to improve the health of all family members. Nemours Health Prevention Services is committed to helping people understand the causes and implications of being at an unhealthy weight. 5-2-1-Almost None is our way to promote a healthier lifestyle for children and families. It’s as simple as

following these suggestions and tips for healthier eating and physical activity: • Eat five or more servings of fruits and vegetables per day. • Spend no more than two hours per day in front of the screen (TV, Video games, recreational computer time). Brain exercise activities like: puzzles, board games, cards, reading, etc., helps prevent Alzheimer’s disease. • Get at least one hour of physical activity per day. Physical activity fights against diabetes, heart disease and stroke. • Drink almost no sugary beverages like soda and sports drink – no more than two servings per week. Put this plan to work in your family and watch its success. Take a picture of you and your grandchild involved in a 5-2-1-Almost None activity and write a short description and send it to Cindy Mitchell at cmitchell@scss.org or CHEER, 546 S. Bedford St., Georgetown, DE 19947 and we will put it in our News & Views.

Challenges of auditory attention By Dr. Anthony Policastro One of the things that I deal with is auditory attention, the ability to pay attention when someone is listening. This is better for some people than others because there are so many variables. There are many kinds of listening situations and they either fall into group situations or one on one. Group situations are usually learning in nature such as a classroom lecture or church sermon. There is a speaker and a group of listeners. In all of those situations, a term known as continuing vigilance is important. This refers to how long you pay attention to what is said before you stray from the speaker. This is different for each person. Some can pay attention longer than others. It also varies with the topic and speaker. Some topics and speakers are more interesting to us than others. Thus how long someone pays attention will vary with both the individual and the specific topic or speaker. A second term is reinforcement of attention which refers to how long you stray before you return to listening to the speaker. Again this will vary with the individual, the speaker and the topic. Some individuals will stop listening when the speaker begins and never come back. Both continuing vigilance and reinforcement of attention go together. Therefore, in any group situation, some people are listening and others may stop listening to the point that they fall asleep. That is the ultimate loss of continuing vigilance. A third term is distraction filtration. There are always background noises. In most cases they remain in the background but some people have trouble with the level of that noise. Most of us have tried to talk on the phone when there is background noise that is so loud that we cannot hear the phone. The volume of the background noise is different for each person. For some it is just background noise. For others, it sounds so loud that they cannot concentrate on anything else that is being said. When I talk on the phone, I need to

move away from the TV or other noise. My wife does not have that problem. She can talk on the cell phone when I am driving even if the radio is on. I would not be able to do that. A fourth term is foreground-background prioritization, which is related to distraction filtration. In this case, it is not related to the background noise being turned up. It is more related to the individual focusing on the background noise than on the primary speaker. The child in the back of the church may be crying but it is not loud enough to drown out the speaker. However, the individual might focus on it. All of these come into play in the one on one situation. There is one more thing that occurs in this situation. Some people are more concerned with what they are going to say next than they are on what the speaker is saying. For that reason, they are not really listening, just looking for a break in the conversation to be able to speak. We all have problems with auditory attention. It is sometimes more obvious than others and often depends on the situation. It is worthwhile to think about how all these things affect a child who has to sit in a classroom for the entire day, every day. Attending to what is said can be a real challenge.

Charged in local thefts

On July 20, Delaware State Police arrested Curtis L. Fuhr, 34, of Holly Hill Road, Milford, following an investigation into two separate theft complaints. The first theft is reported to have occurred on June 28, on Elm Street, Seaford. Troopers then investigated thefts from multiple vehicles at DOS Transportation. Curtis L. Fuhr entered these vehicles and removed items ranging from a small television, Garmin GPS, Stryker CB radio, microwave, cooler and power inverter. These and additional items were taken from a total of four trucks parked on DOS Transportation’s property. State Police obtained witness information which linked Fuhr to the thefts. Fuhr, along with another male subject, was reportedly selling items from a red pickup truck to people at Uncle Willies Truck Stop located at 12984 S. DuPont Hwy. The investigation further revealed that Fuhr was a former employee of DOS Transportation and drove a red pickup truck. The second theft occurred on July 16, on Nanticoke Business Park Drive, Greenwood. Fuhr is alleged to have entered a secure gated area after damaging a chain link fence and stealing a 14 foot aluminum Jon boat valued at $1,400. Fuhr then took the boat to Schultz & Sons Salvage in Denton, Md. The boat was cut into pieces and taken to be salvaged. A check of the boat haul number revealed the items as stolen. Caroline County Sheriff’s Office apprehended Fuhr in this incident. Charges include third degree burglary, four counts of theft, attempted theft, two counts of criminal mischief, two counts of criminal trespassing and third degree conspiracy.

Fuhr was arrested on July 20, and released on $12,500 unsecured bond.

He then turned onto Oyster House Road and eventually back onto Coastal Highway. Minetree then turned into the Eagles Landing Development behind the Big Fish Grill and fled on foot. Minetree was apprehended a short time later and charged with resisting arrest, driving under the influence of alcohol, driving while suspended, failure to have insurance identification, failure to stop at a stop sign, two counts driving the wrong way on a one way road and driving a vehicle at unreasonable speed. Minetree was remanded to Sussex Correctional Institute in lieu of $6,100 cash bail.

Outpatient center hit by car

On July 22, Delaware State Police responded to Beebe Medical Outpatient Center in Rehoboth Beach for a vehicle crash. Robert H. Clark, 79, of Millsboro, was entering a parking space and instead of hitting the brake of his 2001 Ford Taurus pressed the accelerator which propelled his vehicle forward across a curb, striking a Handicap sign. Clark appeared to panic and, upon placing the car in reverse, crashed into a 2006 blue Kia Sportage parked behind his intended space. After this collision, Clark placed his vehicle into drive and accelerated forward across the curb a second time and crashed into the Beebe Medical Outpatient Center, entering a hallway separating the waiting area and triage center. No one inside the building was injured or needed to be evacuated. Clark was charged with reckless driving.

Be aware of these five tax scams from the IRS ‘Dirty Dozen’ list The Internal Revenue Service issues a list of the top 12 tax scams each year – known as the Dirty Dozen. The scams are illegal and can lead to problems for taxpayers including significant penalties, interest and possible criminal prosecution. These scams don’t just happen during the tax filing season, they can happen anytime during the year. Here are five scams from the 2010 Dirty Dozen list every taxpayer should be aware of this summer. • Phishing - Phishing is a tactic used by scam artists to trick unsuspecting victims into revealing personal or financial information in an electronic communication. Scams can take the form of e-mails, tweets or phony websites and they try to mislead consumers by telling them they are entitled to a tax refund from the IRS and they must

reveal personal information to claim it. Regardless of how official this e-mail may look and sound, the IRS never initiates unsolicited e-mail contact with taxpayers about their tax issues. Phishers use the personal information obtained to steal the victim’s identity, access bank accounts, run up credit card charges or apply for loans in the victim’s name. If you receive an e-mail that you suspect is a phishing attempt or directs you to an imitation IRS website, forward it to the IRS at phishing@irs.gov. You can also visit IRS.gov and enter the keyword phishing for more information. • Return preparer fraud - Dishonest tax return preparers can cause trouble for taxpayers who fall victim to their ploys. Such preparers are skimming a portion of their clients’ refunds, charging inflated fees

for tax preparation or are attracting new clients by promising refunds that are too good to be true. To increase confidence in the tax system, the IRS is requiring all paid return preparers to register with the IRS, pass competency tests and attend continuing education. • Hiding income offshore - Taxpayers have tried to avoid or evade U.S. income tax by hiding income in offshore banks and brokerage accounts. IRS agents develop their investigations of these offshore tax avoidance transactions using information gained from more than 14,700 voluntary disclosures received last year. • Abuse of charitable organizations and deductions - The IRS continues to observe the misuse of tax-exempt organizations. This includes arrangements to improperly

shield income or assets from taxation and attempts by donors to maintain control over donated assets. The IRS also continues to investigate various schemes where donations are highly overvalued or the organization receiving the donation promises that the donor can purchase the items back at a later date at a price the donor sets. • Frivolous arguments - Promoters of frivolous schemes encourage people to make unreasonable and outlandish claims to avoid paying the taxes they owe. The IRS has a list of frivolous legal positions that taxpayers should avoid on IRS.gov. These arguments are false and have been thrown out of court. For the full list of 2010 Dirty Dozen tax scams or to find out how to report suspected tax fraud, visit IRS.gov.

Enjoy fresh, sweet peaches on a humid summer day

Apprenticeship training begins Many motivated adults throughout Sussex County will be going back to school when September rolls around. To meet the needs of these adult students and their employers, the Sussex Tech Adult Division will offer Apprenticeship Training classes. What is Apprenticeship training? “It is, without a doubt, the best way for a person to learn a skilled trade,” said Bill Feher, Industrial Training coordinator at the Sussex Tech Adult Division. The Apprenticeship training program combines job site hands-on training, through a sponsoring employer, as well as “related instruction” classes two evenings

per week provided by Sussex Tech. It also ensures that standards of the trade are met. Finally, apprenticeship training reduces employer training costs and helps develop a more competent employee who is capable of advancing to more responsible positions within the company. Apprenticeship classes, which begin in early September, will be offered in the following trade areas: Auto Mechanics, Early Care, Electrical, HVAC, Industrial Maintenance Mechanics, Marine Mechanics, Plumbing and Welding. Call the Adult Division at 856-9035 for orientation dates or more information.

Entertainment 50th Annual Wheat Threshing show August 6-8 The Eastern Shore Threshermen & Collectors Assoc., Inc. will hold their 50th annual Wheat Threshing, Steam & Gas Engine Show on Aug. 6-8, at their showgrounds located on Rt. 313 between Denton and Federalsburg, Md. The show features free admission and free parking and opens at 10 a.m. each day. The Eastern Shore was a much different place in 1961 when Jim Layton threshed a load of wheat with his newly restored steam traction engine. There were few other annual outdoor events or festivals. None of the handful of people attending that first threshing demonstration ever imagined that it would turn into an annual event which would bring thousands of tourists from all over the country. There will be steam engines, antique tractors, gas engines, antique cars and steam models in operation. Among the demonstrations will be wheat threshing, shingle sawing, sawing with a miniature and full size sawmills and rock crushing. A daily parade of equipment will be held at 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and at 4 p.m. on Sunday. Kids of all ages enjoy riding “Smokey Joe,” a miniature steam train which is a replica of the Civil War era “General” locomotive. There will be something for everyone in the large flea market with over 125 dealers. Friday evening will feature the classic country music sounds of The Mel Price Band and Free Range Pickin’ will perform bluegrass music on Saturday evening. Sunday will feature gospel music with

One of the first threshings in the early 1960s.

J. Herman Layton and Jim Layton ready for their first threshing demonstration on a hot Saturday afternoon in August 1961.

The Rescue Team at 5 p.m. All shows are free. There will also be church services Sunday morning at 9 a.m. Exhibitors of antique tractors and steam engines can test their driving skills in the tractor games where they will be competing for trophies.

public land in Milford at a nominal rate to the liquor distributor, N.K.S. Distributors, Inc., smacks of being a “dirty, dirty deal.” How do we know this is not the tip of the iceberg?” asked Republican State Chairman Tom Ross, who in May called for a federal investigation. In the Cape Henlopen High School District, we have a former football coach who has pleaded not guilty to more than 50 charges involving the rape and abuse of a teenage girl. He was ordered held on $428,500 cash bond. The man suffered traumatic brain injury during a suicide attempt earlier this year when he jumped from a fire escape of a Dover building while out on bail. It will be interesting to see how this case turns out. In Lewes, we have a pediatrician who is charged with molesting babies to little children, hundreds of innocent victims. This case has drawn international attention, particularly since his actions were reported to the Lewes hospital and to those in charge, including the Delaware Medical Society by his sister several years ago when some of the actions surely could have been stopped. Here in our little eastern Sussex town of Laurel we have a situation of major proportions as the former finance chief of the Laurel School District pled guilty to stealing $151,000 from the District. The thefts occurred over an eight-year period, during which he also underestimated the wages of some workers and overestimated the pay of others. Some employees did not get enough money and others got too much and now have to pay it back. The former finance chief struck a deal last week with the Attorney Generals office to pay back the $151,000 he stole and serve a year’s probation, while 96 other felony accounts against him were dropped! The reasoning from the Attorney General’s office is difficult to understand. The Chief Attorney General, responding to a State Representative’s question as to the sentence and why jail time not be served and interest not be paid back was answered as, “The General Assembly and the courts and I would say everyone has pretty much decided that if you’re going to spend expensive resources like jail cells, use them on violent offenders or people who repeat.” “At best, we’ve slightly inconvenienced the Laurel resident,” said State Rep. Lavelle. This case has caused considerable heartache and strained feeling for many Laurel residents, family friends and citizens who are expected to pay their taxes and be supportive of school improvements. This once proud Delawarean is having great difficulty in trying to understand our state government. One thing for sure, I definitely feel I am not alone.

A very special celebration took place last Sunday at Centenery Church in Laurel as three-month-old Logan Travis Mumpower was baptized. Logan is the son of Julia and Jeff Mumpower. His maternal grand parents are Tim and Jane Burlingame of Laurel and his paternal grandparents are Jeff and Sharon Mumpower of Bristol, Va. Out of town guests also included Susan McClelland of New Smyrna Beach, Fla.

Marge Starr has recently returned from a visit to her brother and his wife, Lee and Martha Shaw, in Bloomington, Ind. Joining them for a visit with the family was Marge’s nephew, David Shaw from Midway, Ky. After de-planing in Baltimore, Marge then spent time with relatives in Pasadena, Md., before returning to our town. Mary Sharon and Paul Sheppared and their sons, Josh and Ben, from Seattle, Wa., are guests of Mary Sharon’s parents, Clay and Leslie Davis at the Davis cottage in Bethany Beach. Last Sunday was ‘Picnic in the Park’ as Charity Lodge #27 and Martha # 21 celebrated summer or the heat wave ( I don’t know which) with covered dishes by the members and lots of cold, cold drinks ( I presume). I wasn’t there but COLD was the order of the day. They all enjoyed the refreshments and fellowship and forgot to be hot. Ladies of the Laurel class of ‘60 enjoyed their summer luncheon and view of the Chesapeake Bay last Tuesday, July 20, at Annie’s Restaurant in Kent Island. The Laurel class of ‘65 were reunion-ing the past weekend with lunch on Saturday at the Pizzeria, then a walk-through at the schools. Dinner that night was held at the Georgia House and they finalized events with breakfast on Sunday at the Dutch Inn. The classmate who came the greatest dis-

MOVING?

Born in 1926, (that makes me 84 last July 7 for those of you who are counting my age), I have always been a proud Delawarean. There was a nearly four-year period when Chuck and I lived in Maryland and our first child, daughter Bonnie, was born there, but in July of 1953 we moved back to Delaware and Laurel and have lived here ever since. In kindergarten we learned about the Delaware flag and in first grade we were taught the state song, “Our Delaware.” Throughout elementary school the day began by pledging allegiance to the flag of our nation, followed by singing the state song. We kids enjoyed the singing, followed by a moment of prayer. As New Castle countians, we lustily sang the first verse and chorus, “Oh, the hills of dear New Castle, with the shining vales between, where the corn is all in tassle and the meadowlands are green.” The chorus words were, “Oh, our Delaware, our beloved Delaware, here the loyal sons are pledging, Faith to good old Delaware.” We sang that song throughout junior and senior high. We believed in lots of things in those days. We believed in free speech, love of God and country, honesty, decency, punishment when one committed a crime, fair play, human rights and dignity for all, working an honest day for an honest wage. We practiced love of God and country, helping someone in need, sitting down to the dinner table as a family at night, going to church Sunday and Sunday school, making time for family gatherings, working hard and saving for a rainy day, living within our means, following and obeying the law, playing outside or going for walks in the evening without fear of being mugged. World War II came along and we saw major changes in the entire world. Family life changed drastically as young men and some women entered the armed forces, serving those of who supported the war effort and saw many changes in our lives. World War II ended and the servicemen came home. A new world began, but wars continued as we saw more young men and women in the battles of Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Desert Storm, the horror of 9/11 and now the problems the people of the Gulf coast are enduring, plus the recover still going on in New Orleans and many other areas of our nation. Here in Delaware we face multiple problems. Some we understand, others we as average citizens are at a total loss when we try to begin figuring out how the minds of those in charge work. At one time the innocent were protected and the system of law defended those rights. We, Mr. and Mrs. Average Citizen, felt secure knowing that those in charge of our state government would defend our rights. We elected officials we thought would “do the right thing” and we believed they would be fair and just. To say the times have changed would be a gross understatement. We have a former governor who spearheaded what has been descried as a “cozy land deal on the state’s vital link to the beaches,” that involved a friend of the former governor. The long-term lease of

Make your vote count

Recently, two Libertarian candidates attempted to secure spots on the Republican and Democratic party primary ballots. William McVay and Brent Wangan invested a serious amount of capital (filing fees are $3,480 each) and effort, only to be rebuffed by both political parties as well as the Superior Court judge who ultimately decided the case. Why should this exercise in democracy concern you? The primary process is a vital and necessary function of the filtering mechanism in our system of elective government. No one I know argues against our republic having been founded on a two party platform, however, third parties (Independents, Libertarians, Socialists, etc.) go back in history nearly as far, so what causes some individuals to align themselves with other party persuasions? Sometimes (though not trivial) it is a simple dissatisfaction with partisan “sniping” and division, a desire to not be a part of the “status quo.” Other times, it is a sincerely held belief that the third party is more representative of ones’ individual views, objectives, and/or ideals. Suffice it to say, there are as many varieties in politics as there are flavors of ice cream, aside from chocolate and vanilla. In 1992, Americans were presented with just such a choice in the third party candidacy of Ross Perot. Not since 1912, when Theodore Roosevelt ran under the Reform Party (losing to Taft), has a third party been as successful. Like millions of other disgruntled yet conscientious citizens, I reviewed the evidence and determined that the best individual for the job was Perot. I remain convinced to this day that he was the right choice at that time,

however, it was only a number of hours (as the returns came in) that I began to see the implication. We are all familiar with the old saying, “To the victor, go the spoils.” Of the 18.9% who voted for Perot, had we not had that opportunity the majority would have voted Republican. By doing so, we handed a decisive democratic victory to Bill Clinton. In ‘96 when Perot ran again, he received less than 9% of the popular vote, indicating that some of us had received an education. The same has been said of Ralph Nadar. Having additional choices, it seems, serves to fracture and divide otherwise united parties. The statistical probability of a third party candidate succeeding in an election, unless it is fairly small and generally localized, as in the case of Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) and Joe Lieberman (I-Connecticut) are relatively small and historically obscure. Lincolns’ great struggle to unite the states of the republic (“A house divided cannot stand”) through compromise and cooperation, with force as a last resort, continues in politics today. Moderation is the key. Extremists or Fundamentalists simply fail to reach the majority of the people. Third party candidates who seek to promote independent viewpoints, no matter how well intentioned, inadvertently pose a threat by undermining the platform our republic was founded on and, in so doing, obstruct the political process. Understanding this, one must wonder why McVay and Wangan fought so hard for placement on the major party tickets. Please keep this in mind when you place your vote in November and resolve to “make it count.” Penny L. Atkins

Nuclear energy isn’t a disaster

‘REGION AT RISK’ the headline blared! Why? Nuclear generating plants! Did I miss the stories of deaths in and around such plants? France generates 75% of its electricity needs by nuclear plants and has enough to sell electricity to six nearby countries. The UK is refurbishing its nuclear plants to bring generating capacity back up to 25% of its needs. Are these countries hiding their nuclear calamities? Are there risks with nuclear generation? Of course! But didn’t I read something about an oil spill in the gulf? Wasn’t there a recent coal mine accident? Ahhh....Chernobyl! Are we planning to build our new plants using their faulty blueprints, unsuitable building materials, constructed by slave or convict labor? I

don’t think so. Oh yes..Three Mile Island. It could have been a catastrophe...but it wasn’t. Sure there are risks. All life is risky! Flying, driving to the beach, eating the wrong foods are all risky, but we do them. Birth is the ultimate risk. It leads inevitably to death! We need energy. We need electricity. We must use renewable sources such as sun, wind, etc. and we must search vigorously for other non-fossil sources. But we must not let scare tactics such as a recent news story keep us from using an excellent resource already available.....nuclear! Ben Corballis Wilmington

Party website excludes candidates

On July 15, the Delaware Democratic Party issued a press release announcing the party’s endorsement of statewide candidates “following extensive discussion and deliberation at every level of the Democratic Party.” According to the statement, the motions to endorse “passed without opposition.” To the best of my knowledge, not a single Representative District in Kent or Sussex voted to recommend to endorse. For the record, five of the six members of the Executive Committee representing Kent and Sussex did not vote to endorse. I guess that counts as “passed without opposition” to the 16 members who voted to endorse. The release goes on to state that “Delaware Democrats feel strongly that we have selected our strongest possible slate for the 2010 General Election.” I wonder who that “we” represents. The last I heard we are having a Primary in September and on that day Democrats across the state (yes, even those of us below the Canal) will vote for the candidates we want on the Democratic ticket in November. According to the Department of Elections, each Democratic candidate for State treasurer was required to pay a $4,292 filing fee and each candidate for Auditor paid $4,109. That money goes to the State Party. Yet, when voters go to the Delaware Democratic Party website they will find no reference to the candidate for Treasurer or the candidate for Auditor that the executive committee did not endorse. I believe it is undemocratic for the Executive Committee to announce a slate prior to the Primary and unfair both to the candidates and the voters to exclude information on the Party website for candidates the committee did not endorse.

Creating jobs for America: Part 2 Tom Donohue

President and CEO, U.S. Chamber of Commerce

When it comes to creating jobs, America is going in the wrong direction with more taxes, more regulations, and greater economic uncertainty. It’s time for a new, pro-growth direction. Here are our recommendations for robust job creation and economic growth: First, Washington must address America’s uncompetitive tax rates. This Congress has already raised taxes by almost $700 billion to pay for health care, stimulus, and other programs. Proposals in the capital markets, energy, and climate change arenas would raise hundreds of billions more. And beginning next year, Americans will be hit with the largest tax increase in history. Our weak economy simply cannot sustain such massive tax hikes. We therefore urge Congress and the administration to immediately support at least a temporary extension of all the tax relief passed in the prior decade. Spending is also going through the roof and deficits right along with it. Instead of expanding entitlements, policymakers should control and modernize them without further delay. Sustained economic growth can help bring down the deficit, but we will also need to generate additional revenues. Government should raise these funds without undermining economic growth or competitiveness, for example, by selling $1.7 trillion worth of oil, gas, and shale leases. The president has also said that millions of American jobs can be created by doubling U.S. exports in five years, and we agree. We can start by immediately passing three pending free trade agreements with Colombia, Panama, and South Korea and reviving global trade talks known as the Doha Round. Millions of jobs, as well as our quality of life, depend on modernizing all forms of American infrastructure. We must remove the regulatory, legal, and financial roadblocks to private investment. Doing so would unleash up to $180 billion and create more than 1.5 million jobs in the next decade in water infrastructure alone. Incentives and legal surety for investments in energy projects would also create hundreds of thousands of jobs, as would a multi-year, federal surface transportation bill. Finally, as I discussed in my last column, the avalanche of new regulations is precisely the wrong prescription for our economy. Instead of strangling the private sector with burdensome regulations, we must enable it to nimbly respond to changing market conditions. The business community wants to help our economy and our country succeed. The surest way for this to happen is for government to create the right conditions for economic recovery. We don’t want to wait until after the November elections. We’re ready to start today, and we don’t care who gets the credit.

Points to Ponder

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Last Laugh Walking the dog

The following story was submitted by a reader, who said the following account is true.

A woman was flying from Seattle to San Francisco. Unexpectedly, the plane was diverted to Sacramento along the way. The flight attendant explained that there would be a delay, and if the passengers wanted to get off the aircraft, the plane would re-board in 50 minutes. Everybody got off the plane except one lady, who was blind. A man had noticed her as he walked by and could tell the lady was blind because her seeing-eye dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of her throughout the entire flight. He could also tell she had flown this very flight before because the pilot approached her, and calling her by name, said, “Kathy, we are in Sacramento for almost an hour, would you like to get off and stretch your legs?” The blind lady said, “No thanks, but maybe Buddy would like to stretch his legs.” Picture this: All the people in the gate area came to a complete standstill when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with a seeing-eye dog. The pilot was even wearing sunglasses. People scattered. They not only tried to change planes, but they were trying to change airlines. True story. Have a great day and remember: things aren’t alway as they appear. A day without laughter is a day wasted. Submit items for Final Word by email to editor@mspublications.com.
