Seaford now has a Nesbitt Drive By Lynn R. Parks

It’s official — Seaford now has a street named Nesbitt Drive. The street in the Seaford Industrial Park was dedicated last Wednesday. On hand for the dedication was Marshall Nesbitt, the former city councilman for whom the street is named. “It is such a pleasure to be honored with such a beautiful tribute,” Nesbitt told the small crowd gathered around

the new Nesbitt Drive sign post. “You certainly deserve this after all your efforts on behalf of Seaford,” Mayor Ed Butler told him. Nesbitt, 86, was elected to the city council in 1968 and served for 24 years, often as police commissioner. He remembers several highlights of his time on the council, including the transfer of ownership of what is now Kiwanis Park from the DuPont Co. to the city of Seaford, the construction

of a new police station on Virginia Avenue and the establishment of a city boat ramp on the Nanticoke. During last week’s ceremony, Nesbitt praised Butler and city manager Dolores Slatcher. He was part of the city council in 1977 when Slatcher was hired. “She has done an outstanding job,” he said. “I am so happy that everything is working out as it should.”

can’t afford them this year.” The 2010 budget also has no wiggle room: With $26,821,364 in expenses and the same amount in expenditures, it balances out to zero. “This was a very difficult budget,” Mayor Ed Butler said. “The department heads were very conscientious in how they worked the numbers.” The new budget contains a 1-cent increase in property taxes, from 26.5 cents per $100 of assessed value to 27.5 cents. That increase could be even higher, Slatcher said, depending on the

results of several appeals of tax assessments that were filed Tuesday night. About a dozen people were at the city council meeting to request that assessments on their properties be lowered. The budget also features an increase in electric rates, of 3/10s of a cent. A household using 1,000 kilowatt hours of power will see a $3 increase in its monthly bill. All other fees and rates remain the same as they were last year. The city closed down its pool, on

Seaford passes $26 million break-even budget By Lynn R. Parks

Other than an anticipated water system improvement project, to be paid for by federal stimulus money, the city of Seaford’s 2010 budget contains very little money for capital improvements. “We reduced significantly the needs of the departments,” city manager Dolores Slatcher told the city council before it approved the new budget Tuesday night. “There were some very legitimate capital expenses, but this budget just

More than four decades of service is celebrated In May, 125 family members, friends, and colleagues gathered at the Seaford Golf and County Club to celebrate and honor Jean Marvel for over 41 years of service to the general surgery practice now known as Nanticoke Surgical Associates. Marvel has witnessed the scope of changes in medicine from a simple fee for service, to required participation of seniors in Medicare, to HMO insurances. She has worked with 12 surgeons in four different office buildings, and she has gone from the only staff person, to the office manager, overseeing six full-time and three part-time employees at one time. Jean, who was born and raised in Seaford, was raising two small children when her friend, Sally Higgins, asked if she would be interested in working for Drs. William Cooper and Richard Tobin. It was a part-time position, so she could still be home for her children in the afternoon. Jean accepted the offer and thus began her career on October 1,1967. When Jean began with Drs. Cooper and Tobin all medical records and billing statements were hand written. At that time the general surgeons also served as the town’s orthopedist or gynecologist and so the doctors would perform C-sections and set fractured bones when necessary. Jean kept a hand written log of patients’ office visits, procedures, and operations. Every month she and Dr. Cooper would get together, usually at the Seaford Inn. Marvel would go through her patient list

so Dr. Cooper could determine the charge for the service and a hand-written billing statement would be generated. Today when she bills, Jean is guided by over 600 pages of CPT (current procedural terminology) codes which have been established by Medicare/Medicaid. The practice of medicine gradually, and unfortunately, became the business of medicine. Jean’s job description and responsibilities grew as the surgical practice became increasingly complex. In 1967 one could say she was hired as a receptionist. However, over the 41 years, she has filled the roles of clinical assistant, scheduling secretary, transcriptionist, coding and billing specialist, bookkeeper, and chief administrator of a busy private practice. Even with added responsibilities, Jean had the incredible ability to adapt as the times dictated. Her office staff describes her as calm, patient, and reassuring. She is a problem solver and nurturer. These attributes were the key to her success over so many years and to her ascent from receptionist to office manager. She has an incredible capacity to place people at ease, assuring them things will be okay, that their needs and concerns will be taken care of. Her calm, soothing voice has alleviated the anxieties of many patients over the years; reassured her staff as she trains them in new positions; and enabled the surgeons to know that she would take care of the business side of the

practice allowing them to focus on the art of surgery and the care of their patients. What a wonderful gift Jean Marvel has been to so many people: • a gift to the surgeons she has worked for

• a gift to the office personnel who have been employed by the practice • a gift to the many early patients of Drs. Cooper and Tobin, and on through to Drs. Carey and Miller. Continued to page 15

Current home of Bridgeville Library is now for sale By Lynn R. Parks

The former Presbyterian church in which the Bridgeville Public Library is housed is for sale. The library’s board of trustees is accepting bids on the building, at the corner of Market and Laws streets in the heart of Bridgeville, through June 30. The new $2.5 million library building that is under construction on Cannon Street is on track to be complete in August, according to Karen Johnson, library director. Among the bidders on the old church building, built in 1866, will be the Bridgeville Historical Society. Society president Howard Hardesty declined to say what the historical society bid will be. According to Matt Davis, president of the library board of trustees, the board recently had an appraisal of the library building and property done. Information about that appraisal is available by contacting the library, he said. The library board of trustees decided to accept offers on the building following a public hearing held last Monday. “We invited the community in so we could hear their opinions about what to do with the building,” Johnson said. In addition, “we wanted them to understand the

Opening for library board

The Board of Commissioners is accepting applications from citizens interested in serving on the board of the Seaford District Library. The board oversees the Library as representatives of the community. They determine and adopt policies governing the operation and programming of the Library. They develop and oversee the operating budget and actively support library legislation. The board meets at least 20 times a year with an agenda posted a week in advance of the meetings. Board meetings are open to the public. Applications may be picked up at the library and are due by Friday, June 12. The appointment will be made by the resident judge of the Superior Court of Sussex County. For more information, contact Dr. John Painter at 302-629-2524.

board’s priorities.” Those priorities include raising money toward the construction and operations costs of the new facility, she said. The library has raised more than $2.3 million of the $2.5 million construction cost and hopes to receive another $500,000 in the state’s 2010 budget. “Now, we are right on the cusp,” Johnson said. The additional state money “would put us over.” Any state money that is not used in the construction would be refunded to the state, she added. The library board also wants to protect the historic structure, Davis said. In deciding on a successful bidder, members will take into account the intended use of the building as well as the bid price, he added. “We would like to see it kept as a community building and its historic nature preserved, so visitors can get a feel of what it used to be,” he said. Hardesty said that if the historical society is successful in buying the building, the first thing it will do is put a preservation easement on its deed to protect it. The former church is on the National Register of Historic Places and is located in Bridgeville’s newly-designated historic district. It is also in the town’s special “town center” zoning district, which governs its use. Hardesty said that historical society members would like to use the building as a museum and history resource center. The town center zoning permits a museum as a conditional use of property, subject to approval by the town commission, according to code enforcement officer Jerry Butler. The current museum in the former Bridgeville Fire Hall on William Street is running out of space, Hardesty said. According to its plans, the society would use the current museum as an annex to the new museum. According to Hardesty, the building was not used for long as a church. It was purchased some time in the late 19th century by Bridgeville’s Tuesday Night Club, a women’s literary society, which used it as a meeting place and community building. After World War II, the club members set up a small circulating library in what

Bridgeville passes $2.3 million budget By Mike McClure

The Bridgeville Commission adopted its FY 10 budget, which contains an operating budget of $2,302,305, on June 1. Town Manager Bonnie Walls also reported that residents voted to allow the town to borrow $250,000 for drinking water improvements. Walls went over some of the highlights of the budget during Monday’s Commission meeting. The budget includes an increase in garbage fees, up 75 cents to $14, to offset increased costs. The town is also scheduled to have just one town cleanup a year, prior to the Apple-Scrapple Festival. An increase in anticipated fine income is also included in the budget now that the town has seven police officers. There will be no increase in residents’ water and sewer rates, but Walls said it may be necessary to raise those rates next year if the economy doesn’t improve. The town received approval from its

residents to borrow $250,000 for drinking water improvements, which include a backup well. Residents voted 22-2 in favor of the request during a recent referendum. Walls said that $185,155 of that amount is loan forgiveness, meaning that the town will only have to pay back $64,845. Bridgeville Public Library Director Karen Johnson gave the Commission an update on the work on the new library. Johnson said she is hoping to be in the new building by the first week in August. Johnson also reported that the library will receive another $500,000 from the governor’s budget. She added that if all goes well the library will be debt free by the time the doors are open. Bridgeville Library board president Patrick Davis was also presented with a check for $25,000 from Todd Bariglio of the Bariglio Corporation (Pa.) which recently annexed parcels in town. The money will be used for the new library’s new computer room.

Earlier in the meeting a number of Heritage Shores residents voiced some concerns over the maintenance and upkeep of the development’s common areas. Commission President William Jefferson, who met with the developer, said the grass in those areas will be cut and maintained. Jefferson also said that the town is looking into the original landscaping plan for Heritage Shores to compare it to what is currently being done. Commissioner Ruth Skala said the town may need to come up with new plans, which would be brought before the residents and the homeowner’s association. Walls reported that 100 citizens were in attendance at the town’s annual Memorial Day celebration. New town officer Richard Baker was introduced to the packed house at Monday’s meeting. The town’s two other new officers were introduced at the Commission’s meeting in May. All three officers graduated from the police academy on April 8.

Pictures, biographies, and other memorabilia from the Delaware Sports Museum and Hall of Fame are now on display at the Seaford Museum, 203 High St. The display features the 28 Hall of Fame inductees from Sussex County. Laurel leads the way with eight inductees featuring the great Ron Waller. Seaford has five inductees: Coach Bob Dowd, Mike Neill, Delino DeShields, Lovett Purnell, and Coach Ron Dickerson. The Delaware Sports Museum and Hall

of Fame was formed as a part of the Nation’s bicentennial celebration in 1976. The first class was inducted that year, but it would be 26 years before the Museum would have a home. In 2002, the museum, located at Frawley Stadium, home of the Wilmington Blue Rocks, opened its doors. Finally, there was a place where memorabilia, artifacts, uniforms, and photographs could be displayed. And now for the first time a display of

some of these items has come to Sussex County. Plans are underway to invite all of these inductees or their survivors to an open house at the Museum. Details of that event will be announced at a later date. The Seaford Museum, operated by the Seaford Historical Society, is open from 1-4 p.m. on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday except holidays. For further information call the Seaford Historical Society office at 302-628-9828.

which it spent $54,737 last year. It also opted not to fill a vacancy in the electric department. Included on the short list of capital improvements are: two new vehicles, one for the code department and the other, which will be paid for by a federal grant, for the police department; several new computers and printers; five new fire hydrants; a new pump at the wastewater treatment plant; and new bay walls at the compost center. The budget also includes a new generator switch at the utility building and partial funding for new windows at the Seaford Fire Hall, which is owned by the city.

Seaford referendum is Friday

The city of Seaford will hold a public referendum on Friday, June 12, on its plan to borrow $2.7 million for improvements to its water system. The project would improve the water systems in two areas: in Westview, the community near West Seaford Elementary School and the intersection of Sussex Avenue and Stein Highway; and along Bridgeville Highway, from Herring Run Road to Dutton Avenue. The city wants to replace water mains in the two areas. It also wants to install water loops, eliminating dead end pipes where water just sits. The referendum will be from 2 to 7 p.m. Voting will be in the council chamber at Seaford City Hall.

Business Chesapeake Utilities expands Chesapeake Utilities recently announced the introduction of natural gas to Georgetown. A ribbon-cutting ceremony earlier this afternoon on the Owens Campus of Delaware Technical & Community College (Delaware Tech) celebrated the much anticipated arrival of natural gas in the central part of Sussex County. Delaware Tech is Chesapeake Utilities first customer in Georgetown. “The campus has wanted access to natural gas for a long time,” said Dr. Ileana Smith, vice president and campus director. “We began preliminary discussions with Chesapeake several years ago and they were able to make it happen, with minimal disruption at the campus. Delaware Tech is pleased to have an additional form of energy available for campus operations. In these critical fi-

Governor Jack Markell has announced the launch of the state’s new online portal for agency bid solicitations, which will become the central repository for Request for Proposal (RFP) bids and Invitation to Bid (ITB) solicitations statewide. The new service will provide a one-stop shopping experience for businesses interested in bidding on a state contract. The portal can be found at www.bids.delaware. gov. The launch of the vendor portal is the first piece of a two-part program geared toward centralizing statewide contract bid opportunities for local businesses. The second piece, which will be available to the public no later than Aug. 1, is a vendor notification system, which will alert service subscribers to specific bid solicitations as soon as they are posted on the portal site.

Health Be the very best you can be at whatever you may choose to do By Dr. Anthony Policastro

It is graduation time. Many young people are about to experience a significant change in their lives. Some will graduate high school and go on to college. Some will not. All will have the opportunity to be valuable members of our future world. I spent two years in England when I was in the Air Force. There was a distinct difference in the approach to graduation between our two countries. There were many more advantages with the British system.

We have created a sociological difference between those who go to college and those who do not. That difference is not real. The British attitude was much different. Early on in the school years, they determined that some individuals would go to university. Others would not. Those who would not all had important places in society. They would run the trains. They would run the stores. They would run the repair shops. All were necessary to keep the country moving.

Several members of Nanticoke Memorial Hospital’s Stroke Team, from left, Donna Hitchens, RN, MSN; Bonnie King, RN, BSN; Susan Phillips, RTR, CT; Robert Ferber, MD; Cherryl Peterson, PharmD; Kimberly Fitzgerald, RTR CT; and Tracy Tapman, MT (ASCP). Not pictured are Medical Director of Nanticoke’s Stroke Center, Bruce Dopler, MD; Annedreea Webber, Nanticoke’s Stroke coordinator; Tres Pelot, BS RRT; Christine Sohn; Janan McElroy, RN, CPUR; and Missy Babinski, RT (R)(M).

NMH earns national stroke award Nanticoke Memorial Hospital recently received the American Stroke Association’s, Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Achievement Award. The award recognizes Nanticoke’s commitment and success in implementing a higher standard of stroke care by ensuring that stroke patients consistently receive stroke care in accordance with the most up-to-date guidelines and recommendations. The program, a voluntary-participation project involving hospitals across the United States, has been adapted by Nanticoke Memorial Hospitals Stroke Center to improve adherence to guide-

lines in the area of stroke and transientischemic-attack (TIA). The Get With the Guidelines-Stroke program has three modules to help hospitals use evidence-based guidelines to treat patients with stroke. Upon meeting criteria specific to each module, hospitals are recognized for performance achievement. According to the American Stroke Association, about 795,000 Americans each year suffer a new or recurrent stroke. That means, on average, a stroke occurs every 40 seconds.

Therefore, all students were taught that something that they like and that they can they had important jobs to do. do well.

MORNING STAR • JuNe 11 - 17, 2009

PAGe 9

Spring is the perfect time for you to unplug your kids from the tv There’s nothing quite like springtime. The sights, sounds and fragrances of nature beckon us away from electronic screens and into the great outdoors. But don’t expect kids to leap from the couch when you say, “Go out and play.” Make it a fun family affair. With a little effort and ingenuity, kids will be more than happy to substitute green time for screen time. Aim for at least one family “green time” outing a week. Here are some to try. • Design a scavenger hunt. Make a list of 10 or 15 items that children have to find in the backyard or at a local park or playground, such as a seed, a big rock, a pine cone, a flower in bloom, a forked tree, etc. As your little explorers get older, they can make up lists themselves. This is a great activity for the whole family with abundant nature lessons. • Go fruit and vegetable picking. In June strawberries and cherries will be ripe for picking in Delaware. Go to www.pickyourown.org to find a farm near you. Take the whole family and see who can fill up their container fastest. If you can’t use all you pick, clean and freeze your harvest so the family can enjoy it for months to come. It’s a good way for children to learn how crops are grown (and

that they don’t come from a supermarket!). Plus, they’ll be excited to eat what they’ve helped to pick. • Plant your own vegetable garden and let your kids be involved in deciding what to plant. Have your children help water and tend to the garden and as each vegetable ripens, have them help you pick, wash, and prepare it. Kids are much more willing to eat food they helped prepare. • Fishing is an activity that can at times be both tranquil and exhilarating. It’s a wonderful way to experience nature, and the thrill of catching a fish never gets old! Whether you wade through streams, fish from a boat, a pier, or at the edge of a pond, fishing trips make memories that children will cherish. To find a fishing spot near you, go to your state department of parks or fish and game website, www.fw.delaware.gov/Fisheries/ Documents/2009fishingguideweb.pdf. • Kick it old school in your own backyard or a local park. Get a group of kids and grown-ups together for a cookout and some of those fun picnic games we all remember playing: the egg toss, water balloon toss, potato sack race, hot potato, and Simon says. And think beyond grilling just burgers and hotdogs. Fish, chicken, fruits

Health Briefs Look Good...Feel Better

Women undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatment for cancer can now receive free professional help to cosmetically disguise the appearance-related side effects of their treatments. Look Good... Feel Better, a program developed by the Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association Foundation, the American Cancer Society, and the National Cosmetology Association, trains volunteer cosmetologists to help women with cancer, conceal loss of hair, skin problems and other side effects that can result from cancer therapy. The next program will be hosted by the Cancer Care Center at Nanticoke Memorial Hospital on Monday, June 15 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Cancer Care Center’s 2nd floor conference room. The program is free to all patients in active cancer treatment. Registration is required, and space is limited. To register, contact Nanticoke Memorial Hospital’s Cancer Care Center at 6296611, ext. 2588.

Cancer Support Group

The Wellness Community-Delaware offers a General Cancer Support Group for people affected by cancer and their loved ones. The free monthly support group meets in the Second Floor Conference Room of the Cancer Care Center at Nanticoke Memorial Hospital in Seaford on the third Monday of each month from 4:30 to 6 p.m. The Wellness Community-Delaware is dedicated to helping people affected by

cancer enhance their health and well-being through participation in a professional program of emotional support and hope. All facilitators of these groups are trained mental health professionals. For more information and to register, call 6459150.

Depression Support Group

There will be a free bimonthly Depression Support Group meeting in Laurel on the second and fourth Wednesday evenings from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Any person who has signs and symptoms of depression and is under the care of a professional counselor/MD is welcome to attend. To register, call Life Matters Counseling and Consulting at 302-465-6612.

Stroke support group

Nanticoke Memorial Hospital’s next Stroke Support Group meeting is Thursday, June 18 at 1:30 p.m. at the hospital’s second floor Cancer Care Center Conference Room. The support group is designed for individuals who have survived a stroke as well as their families and caregivers. The two-hour support group meetings will consist of guest speakers and breakaway sessions, in which caregivers and stroke survivors will meet in two groups to discuss concerns, provide support and allow for networking. Refreshments will be provided. Pre-registration is not required and there is no charge to participate. For more information, contact Nanticoke Memorial Hospital at 629-6611, ext. 8626.

and veggies can all be grilled and make for delicious, healthy meal options. As night falls, give kids containers to catch (and release) fireflies and other crawlies. • Plant a tree. Talk about what kind of tree you want – one that will flower, provide shade, be a home for birds, yield fruit, etc. – and then, as a family, choose a tree and plant it. Kids will take pride in watching it grow, knowing that they helped. If you don’t have the yard space, there are many small varieties of trees that can be grown in a pot. • Hit the trail. There are more than 140,000 acres of parks, recreational areas and protected open space in Delaware. Families can take advantage of the many walking and bike paths, playgrounds and picnic areas, hiking trails, fields, courts, and campgrounds across the state. Your local parks also offer a lot of unique activities such as disc golf, geocaching, rock

climbing, horseback riding, and swimming. Your family may even enjoy completing the Trail Challenge together. It’s a great way to explore parks up and down the state. For more information, go to www.destateparks.com/. For more ideas on how your family can explore the great outdoors and be physically active in the process, check No Child Left Inside, a campaign dedicated to connecting families to the outdoors, at http:// ncli.delawaregreenways.org.

New Ambient Care medical center opens in Seaford

Ambient Care, a walk-in medical center, is now open in Seaford. It will provide convenient medical care to those in the area. It is owned by Dr. Patrick Titus, and husband and wife, Robert and Helene Henry. Robert is a physician assistant, and Helene is a family nurse practitioner. “We strive to give efficient, personable care,” says Robert. Robert had been working in urgent care for six or seven years. In the emergency room, he noticed that a lot of the problems that patients had were minor, which delayed care for others. Robert and Helene saw the need for a walk-in medical center, which would offer faster service if you have a minor injury or illness. Robert had been passing through Seaford on his way to work, as he lived in Salisbury, Md. and worked in Milford. “I like Seaford, because it’s a nice, growing town.” The Henrys decided to open their business in Seaford. They purchased the building next to the Seaford Ice plant, and renovated it. Robert says that his facility is not a substitute for an emergency room. If you have

a life-threatening emergency, you still need to go to the ER. However, if you have a minor injury or illness, such as a sore throat, hurt ankle, or fever, Ambient Care is convenient. They are open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends, so they are open when most people get off work. And the fact that it is located on Route 13 is convenient as well. Ambient Care is affordable too. “We take all major insurances,” Robert says, “and the cost is better on insurers and patients than the emergency room, especially if it’s a small issue.” You can even check in to Ambient Care online, at www.ambientmedicalcare.com. “Patients like to be seen quickly,” Robert continues. “Here, you won’t have to wait. You’re treated right away.” The staff at Ambient Care will treat sprains, rashes, boils, eye infections, ear pain, cough, cold, back injury, apply stitches, take X-rays, and much more. Ambient Care is located on US 13 North, at 24459 Sussex Highway, Suite 2. To reach them by phone, call 302-6293099.

A ribbon cutting was held at the new Ambient Care Walk-In Medical Center on US 13 in Seaford on Monday, June 1. Pictured are Linda Gunson, County Bank; Syamala Chitevelu, medical assistant; Eileen Potter, medical assistant; Helene Henry, family nurse practitioner; Robert Henry, physician assistant; Mike Vincent; Vivineene Yorke; Tony Hamlett, Mid Atlantic Business Finance; Shaneka Gibbs; Jayne Armstrong, SBA; John Craig, Bank of Delmarva; Paula Gunson, director Seaford Chamber of Commerce; and Ed Heath, Seaford Chamber Board and SCORE.

Plans approved for trade school By Lynn R. Parks

The United Brotherhood of Carpenters plans to build a trade school on U.S. 13 in Seaford. Preliminary plans for the school were approved recently by the Seaford City Council. The vote followed a public hearing on the plan. The school would be built on 5.7 acres just north of Seaford Commons, the Lowe’s shopping center at the intersection of U.S. 13 and Herring Run Road. The union’s property fronts U.S. 13 and wraps around the Hobby Stop. City building official Josh Littleton told the council that the union plans to build a 23,600-square foot trade school. The union also wants to build a 3,600-square foot commercial building at the front of the lot, perhaps to be used by a bank. Littleton said that the city is working with the project’s design engineers to ensure that construction on the property

does not cause flooding in the area. “They will be required to engineer the complex so that it properly drains,” he said. “It should not adversely impact surrounding property owners.” Also approved after public hearing last Tuesday night were final plans for construction of four 4,800-square foot buildings in the Seaford Industrial Park. The buildings will be constructed on property owned by Boyd Properties and on which one building already exists. The city council also approved the request of property owner Felicia Dorman to have her lot at 516 E. King St. divided into two. Her home there was damaged in a recent fire and she will be required to demolish the house and a garage on the property before the subdivision is final. Each lot will be 5,700 square feet. The property is already zoned R-2, for medium density residential development.

Dept. of Justice secures cleanup of ‘nuisance property’ For the first time, social vice activity at a Delaware property has ceased through the Delaware Department of Justice’s enforcement of Delaware’s Nuisance Abatement Act. The Department announced Tuesday, June 9, that, following a

lengthy investigation, all activity resembling adult entertainment will cease at the Canton Inn and the property owner will take other measures to comply with the law. “Today marks an important milestone in our enforcement of

Office of Highway Safety issues advisory to parents following the death of child

By Andrea Summers Office of Highway Safety

In the wake of the crash in Sussex County involving four unrestrained children, the Office of Highway Safety would like to share the following information about Delaware’s Child Restraint Law and what parents can do to keep kids safe. The law Children have to be in a car seat until age 8 or 65 pounds whichever comes first. Then they must be seat belted in the vehicle. No child under age 12 is allowed to be in the front seat when air bags are present with a few exceptions. Here is the exact text of the law: Child restraint in motor vehicles. (a) Every person shall be responsible, when transporting a child through the age of 7 and up to and including the weight of 65 pounds in a motor vehicle operated on the roadways, streets or highways of this State, for providing protection of the child by properly securing the child in all seating positions, according to manufacturer’s instruction, in a child safety seat or booster seat meeting federal motor vehicle safety standards, and that is appropriate for the child’s weight and height. Every child who has either attained the age of 8 or a weight in excess of 65 pounds and has not yet attained the age of 16 shall, in all seating positions, wear a properly secured seatbelt while in a motor vehicle operated on the roadways, streets or highways of this State. The duty imposed by this subsection shall not apply to any operator or passenger of a motor bus, limousine or taxicab. (b)(1) No child who is 65 inches or less in height and who is under 12 years of age shall occupy the front passenger seat of any vehicle equipped with a passenger-side airbag that has not been deliberately rendered inop-

erable in conformity with federal law. This subsection shall not apply to vehicles equipped with a passenger-side airbag specifically designed or modified by the vehicle’s manufacturer for use by children and small adults. (2) It shall not be a violation of this section for a child 65 inches or less in height and under 12 years of age to occupy the front passenger seat of a vehicle equipped with a passenger-side airbag that has not been deliberately rendered inoperable in conformity with federal law if such vehicle does not have a rear passenger seat or if all rear passenger seats are occupied by other children 65 inches or less in height and under 12 years of age. A violation of this subsection shall be considered a secondary offense, and no motor vehicle shall be stopped by a police officer solely for failure to comply with this subsection. (c) A violation of this section shall be an offense punishable by a fine of $25 for each violation. The failure to provide a child restraint system or seat belt for more than 1 child in the same vehicle at the same time, as required by this section, shall not be treated as a separate offense. What parents can do • Buckle up your child every trip, every time • Have your car seat inspected by a Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician – OHS has one in each county who works three days a week at the DMV to do just this for fee. • Visit the OHS website for recommendations on what type of car seat is right for your child at which age/weight and get contact information for our Fitting Stations to have your car seat inspected for correct fit for free. The website page is http:// www.ohs.delaware.gov/information/cps.shtml. For more information, call the Office of Highway Safety at 302672-7642.

Delaware’s Nuisance Abatement Law,” said State Solicitor Lawrence Lewis. “The Delaware Attorney General’s office is using this statute in new and innovative ways to combat social vice crime in our neighborhoods. As a result, this property will no longer be a haven for illegal activity,” Lewis added. The Department of Justice alleges that the Canton Inn, at 704 Norman Eskridge Highway in Seaford, has been the site of prostitution and lewd sexual conduct over a period of several years. Following an investigation by the Delaware State Division of Professional Regulation and the Delaware State Police, the Department of Justice sais it determined that the property presented

an “immediate threat to the public health, safety and welfare.” Rather than defend itself against the Department in court, the owner agreed to abate the nuisance voluntarily by ceasing all adult entertainment activity, making renovations to the building, and discontinuing advertising as a “gentlemen’s club,” the Department stated. The establishment will now be promoted as a restaurant and bar. “The residents of Seaford will benefit greatly from this agreement,” said state Rep. Daniel B. Short, Seaford. “This is exactly how the Nuisance Abatement statute should work and I commend the Attorney General’s Office for their efforts.” In August 2007 Attorney General Beau Biden launched a statewide effort to fight neighborhood

crime in Delaware under the state’s Drug Nuisance and Social Vices Abatement Act. Under the Nuisance Abatement Act, enforcement actions can take a variety of forms, including closure of a property. In September 2008 a property in Wilmington was the first to be ordered closed permanently under this Act by court order. The Delaware Department of Justice identifies nuisance properties statewide through its own investigations and cooperation with state and local police agencies, local authorities, civic associations, and residents. Since August 2007, the Department has abated 74 nuisances, either by obtaining a court order or through securing the voluntary cooperation of the owner to clean up the illegal activity.

Field trips, computers, sports and fun on tap for summer program With school closing and young people finding some extra time on their hands, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Western Sussex has an opportunity to fill the void with some educational and recreational opportunities. Now in its 11th year, the Boys & Girls Club is once again offering its “Summer Fun Club” at both its Seaford and Laurel club sites. This year, according to Western Sussex Boys & Girls Club Executive Director, Dave Crimmins, this year’s camp is geared toward one goal; and that is “fun.” He said the goal of the camp activities is to have every camper leave the summer program having the most memorable summer of their lives. “Each day every camper will be engaging in some of the most unique, creative fun activities they have ever been a part of,” he said. The summer program, being

Jean Marvel honored Continued from page three

On May 1, Drs. Carey and Miller and staff celebrated the extraordinary service Jean Marvel has provided to the practice and community. Dr. Miller stated: “When I joined the practice as a new surgeon to the private practice environment, Jean’s greatest help was her calmness, her incredible knowledge of people, and her ability to navigate the complexities of managed care. Her depth of knowledge in health care administration is incredible. She will truly be missed.” Dr. Carey remarked: “Jean has guided the general surgeons of Seaford through the many changes that have occurred in surgical care over the last 40 years. Her efforts have improved the quality of health care provided to many thousands of surgical patients in our community. Jean has also cared for the surgeons. She understands surgeons and has been our rock and our friend.”

touted as “Operation Fun,” will run weekly throughout the summer months. Crimmins says parents should have their child enrolled in the “Summer Fun Club” as soon as possible because there is limited availability. The summer program offers a variety of opportunities including daily athletic programs including kickball, basketball, dodge ball, soccer, hockey and special nutritional and physical exercise activities. Each program participant gets at least two hours of physical activities each day. Other offerings include Arts and Crafts activities in which campers will make unique crafts for themselves and to take home to the family. Special enrichment and technology activities will enable participants to be exposed to life skills programming, including Junior Achievement and access to a full computer lab with educational software. There is also opportunity for members to participate in special aquatic programming at the Seaford site’s Olympic-size indoor pool. Another aspect of the “Summer Fun Club” is the weekly field trips where camp members travel to a variety of locations including the Delaware State Fair, Killens Pond State Park, the Cape May Lewis Ferry and the Baltimore Inner Harbor Aquarium. Crimmins says the mission of Boys & Girls Clubs is to “inspire and enable all young people to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens.” He said throughout the year the youth development organization provides programming and activities in a strategy to instill a sense of competence, belonging, power and influence. “When the strategy is fully implemented self-esteem is enhanced and an environment is created which helps boys and girls achieve their full potential,” he said. This summer will also feature two special teen programs being offered as part of the summer club curriculum. Avail-

able to youth ages 13 to 18, the programs “The Beat (Being Educated As Teens)” in Laurel and “S.T.Y.L.E. (Summer Youth Teen Leadership Experience) in Seaford will use recreational and educational programming to help teens prepare for their academic and professional future. Using a weekly theme format, the teens will experience opportunities to visit college campuses, do career

exploration with job shadowing at local businesses and learn to prepare their resumes and portfolios. In addition to a special academic curriculum with a focus on reading and math, camp participants will be given extra assistance with a goal of helping them be better prepared when going back to school in the fall. The programs will conclude with

a special recognition event which will involve family and friends as they are honored for their summer accomplishments. The Boys & Girls Club’s “Summer Fun Club” operates Monday through Friday and has started at the Laurel site and will begin at the Seaford site on Monday, June 15. For more about enrollment contact the Laurel site at 875-1200 or Seaford at 628-3789.

Top 10 signs that elderly loved ones might need constant care It’s heartbreaking and overwhelming to watch your elderly loved one decline into someone who needs constant care. But with 36 million seniors living in the U.S. and the population projected to double, caring for an elderly loved one is a reality most people will face. That’s why Senior Helpers, a leading provider of in home senior care, advises learning the signs your senior relative needs assistance. “It’s much better to arrange for help for an elderly family member while they can still be part of the process rather than during a crisis because it gives everyone time to make thoughtful decisions,” says Christopher Stetzar with Senior Helpers in Dover. “Seniors often believe getting help means being moved out of their house and that’s where the resistance comes in. But many times in home care is a better option.” Senior Helpers’ elderly care experts remind people to respect a senior family member’s pride and dignity when discussing the need for assistance. Approach the topic with respect and understanding and express concern for the family members’ safety. The warning signs could be indications of many issues. If there’s a major

If you can’t be there, hire an in-home caregiver.”

Answers from the Bible

Q: A:

Pastor Gerald Cliver

Why can't God destroy Satan? Or is it part of the "master plan" to allow Satan to run amok in the world?

Good and Evil co-exist and always have. You can not have one without the other. Just like light and darkness. Up must be up always and can never be down, so God is Good and can never be other wise, not in the past, today or in the future According to the Word of God, Satan is Evil and the source of Evil, God is the source of Good. God has warned that a day is coming when He will separate Good from Evil forevermore. That day is judgment day when all will be judged. While we may not fully understand, it is obvious that Good and Evil will co-exist until that time of separation. Just as up must be up and down, down so light is not darkness. "This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all." 1John 1:5 Light has power over darkness so turn to the source of light, the source of Good, to build your eternal future.

What Must I Do to Be Saved? Acknowledge your sin and place your trust in Christ. All who place their trust in Christ in this way are adopted as God’s children. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. ~ Romans 3:23 The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. ~ Romans 6:23 God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ~ Romans 5:8 If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ~ Romans 10:9

5, 2009. She was born in Lewes, a daughter of Joseph and Ellen Collins Bailey. Josephine was a loving homemaker and mother and is survived by her daughter, Nancy Howard of Dagsboro; her brothers, Nathan and Warren Bailey; and sisters, Shirley Hughes, Barbara Parker and Sarah Parker. She is also survived by a grandson and several nieces and nephews. Her husband Paul A. Howard Jr. and a son PV2 John Lee Howard, preceded her in death. The memorial service was held at Hannigan, Short, Disharoon Funeral Home in Laurel on Tuesday June 9. The Rev. Roland Tice officiated. Interment followed in Odd Fellows Cemetery in Seaford.

Couch named ‘Staff of the Year’ Boys & Girls Clubs of Delaware President/CEO George Krupanski has announced Chris Couch, program director for the Western Sussex Boys & Girls Club, as the recipient of the Joseph Dulin Staff of the Year award.

Couch was recognized for the following attributes: dedication to the job, a concern for the well being of children, support for the mission of the Boys & Girls Club, con-

cern for the welfare of other staff, a positive role model, leadership and innovation. Prior to his appointment as program director, in 2002 Couch served as a youth counselor. In 2004, he was appointed to the position of education director. Couch is an honors graduate of Wilmington College and Delaware Technical College with a background in Early Childhood Education. He has been a Junior Varsity Wrestling coach at Sussex Technical College and served with the Ocean Rescue at Dewey and Bethany Beaches.

Woodland Ferry is out of order

Boys & Girls Clubs of Delaware “Staff of the Year,” Chris Couch, is shown working with youth who are part of the Delaware Department of Education’s 21st Century Community Learning Centers program.

The Department of Transportation (DelDOT) admits that it was spoiled by its 40-year-old friend, Virginia C, otherwise known as the previous Woodland Ferry. She ran like a dream until her legacy ended due to natural causes in 2007. Whenever you get something new it is expected to be perfect, but unfortunately this is not the case with our new Woodland Ferry, the Tina Fallon. Maybe the Nanticoke River wants her old friend back, or the gods of the seas are just not looking favorably on our little stretch of the waterway. Whatever the problem, DelDOT intends to stand behind the Woodland Ferry, mending her thruster and nurturing her back to good health and operation. Since the thruster oil leak was discov-

ered on Tuesday, May 26, the ferry will remain down for at least the next few weeks. This will allow the entrapped fishing line, which originally caused the leak, to be removed from the thruster. It will also be an opportunity to take the thruster apart for further inspection and repair. DelDOT apologizes for the interruption of service, but will not operate the ferry when it poses a safety hazard to passengers, animal habitats or the fish. Public safety is our paramount concern. To address the public’s need for information on whether the ferry is up and running across the river, motorists can contact DelDOT’s Office of Public Relations at 1-800-652-5600.

Taking advantage of the fifth element of flavor

Bruce turned 90 on May 19 and is seen daily throughout the Laurel Community. His life story is one of optimistic thoughts, deep faith and taking life day-to-day as it is given. Bruce would not let me write this without commenting that another Christ Church member Sara Ellis turned 90 on June 8. Happy Birthday, Sara. Now, back to Bruce. Born in England, he lived in Cuba while his dad was in the military and coming to the U.S. lived in various areas of New England, before finding his way to the Eastern Shore in the Snow Hill, Berlin area in 1940, before coming to Laurel in 1943 with wife Eunita and a young son Rick. We lived on 9th Street, rent was $4 per week and that’s how you paid it, as Harly Hastings did not want to lose that extra week’s rent that was in some months,” said Bruce. In 1949, Bruce, being a “Jack-of-alltrades,” started a Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning business, and in 1950, he went into the oil business at the present location on Central Avenue. For you that can remember this, about this time, The Bruce Farrelly makes the morning cofDutch Inn had just been built and now fee at Laurel Petroleum. Photo by Pat Bruce’s soon to be thriving business was Murphy next door. In 1956, he built his present house on Brooklyn Avenue and moved in was delivering for brother, Mark, who had gone out for football. A marker at on Memorial Day. the Little League Park hangs on the clubAlso building about this time were house wall in memory of Kit. his great neighbors, Roland Lowe who In 1980, Bruce decided he wanted to worked for Valliant’s and Lloyd Foster, “test the waters” and he did, as he bought the shop teacher at Laurel High School. his own sailboat, “Spring Tide.” Lloyd’s wife, Verna, was the librarian at He also turned the business over to the still new library as Laurel was in a son, Mark and wife Nancy, and it congrowing mode that by the 1960s seemed tinued to run smoothly, as it does today, to die out. although the plumbing side of the busiAlong the way the Farrelly family ness has been sold by Nancy to Craig grew to five children, Rick, Mark, Kit, Smith and the Heating and Air to Ben Ann and Phoebe. Eunita and Bruce have Lowe. Bruce sailed for more than 20 had enough heartbreak to last several years, often taking Eunita with him going families a lifetime starting with their to the Caribbean, Florida, Bahamas and young son, Kit, who was killed in an acother destinations. Bruce also sailed for cident delivering newspapers in 1962. He

other people. One of his favorite partners on sailing voyages was the late Victor Blackmore. Tragedy again struck the Farrellys a few years ago when Mark passed away. Mark, like his parents, was a tremendously talented person. I flew with him a couple of times in his small plane, out of Laurel Airport. He helped me get the aerial pictures of Delmar’s old school razing. Mark was a tremendously friendly, well-liked individual, “a chip off the old block you might say.” Once again, the Farrellys’ faith and “One-day-at-a-time,” philosophy brought them through this. The Farrellys have seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. They are especially proud of one of Ann’s children, who recently graduated from law school. Bruce is a 32nd degree Mason, former Lion’s Club member and the Farrellys have been members of Christ United Methodist Church since 1945. Now Mark’s former wife, Nancy Allen, runs the business and she and Bruce Farrelly are still very close, “Nancy is my adopted daughter,” says Bruce, who continues to come in early every morning to fix the daily coffee, read the paper, feed his dogs, or watch the business while Nancy has an appointment. Bruce has had a garden just south of the building for more than 50 years and you can see him working it often. Oh, yes, Bruce is the church historian and get this, the author of two books about his growing up in Snow Hill. You’ve heard this many times, but it seems to be true, Bruce grew up during the depression and it gives him a great sense of thankfulness and optimism. Bruce saw my mom that day. I am sure, when he had gone to see church member, Lucy Lutz, at Lofland Park, he found time to visit others. Living each day to the fullest. I just thought you would like to be reminded of what great people we have in our community and we all know each other, it seems. I was going to write about the ferry being down again, but I think this is better, much better.

Don’t forget Bethel’s Yard Sale is this Saturday, June 13.

I guess our representative, Biff Lee of 41st District has fallen on hard times. It appears he owes Johnny Layton, the “Million Dollar Painter” of the Delmar Round Table fame, 15 cents. This is after Layton gave him a huge discount on a paint job. This time I’m taking Johnny Layton’s word for this; he tells it like it is, even though he may have several versions of it. It was good to hear from class of ’63 Laurel High School member Charles Brittingham the other day. That call came from Seattle, Wash., where Charles has lived for several years. He gets his paper about one week after the locals do and he wanted to know how Al Phillips was doing; not knowing Albert had passed away. We talked a good while and he had many stories about Albert of course. Charlie lived right around the corner from Al on 4th Street. One story involved several mischievous boys staying together overnight at Charlie’s. It appears Albert went to sleep and Alan Hill, Charlie and others painted Albert with Iodine. Charlie really enjoyed telling those stories. But he also told me that his medical problem is very similar to Albert’s. Charlie has had a procedure called a PPI, or something like that, which is helping so far. He did say to tell everyone in Laurel, “Hi.” Now if I can just hear from Ken Brown. For the more than 200 people who attended the Laurel Post 19 American Legion’s Ceremony on May 25, you may have noticed a flag picture drawn by students at North Laurel School. Danielle Jackson is the art teacher and Doris Kernigan of Post 19 Auxiliary wanted me to mention this fine group of third graders. Oh yes, Post 19 outgoing Commander Jim Moore made my day recently, as I listened to his recorded message. “Pat, you can call me on my cell at…, uh, at… what is that durn number? It’s, well… and finally after much laughter, he comes through with it for me. It doesn’t get any easier does it, Jim? You reminded me so much of myself and it provided a laugh for me the rest of the day.

The Lion’s Club fishing tournament on Saturday, June 6, was a tremendous success. There will be pictures in next week’s issue.

Have a great middle of June everyone and keep those laughs coming.

“You have been a part of exciting times over the last four years. It is now time to look ahead,” Sussex Tech teacher of the year and co-class advisor Deborah Kenton told the school’s graduates during last weekend’s commencement exercises. Kenton also read Dr. Seuss’ “Oh the Places You’ll Go” during her speech. “I hope what you take away from this lesson is life is exciting. Make sure you’re doing exactly what you want to be doing in life.” Photo by Mike McClure

We must keep in mind it is not the end. We are already starting to leave behind another legacy.” Photo by Mike McClure

“Over the past four years we have endured the unendurable and survived what we thought would kill us,” Sussex Tech class president Rachel Southmayd told her classmates during last Saturday’s graduation ceremony. “I want to thank all of my teachers and classmates for shaping me into the person I am today.”

Salutatorian Tyler Justice told fellow members of Sussex Tech’s class of 2009 to “give it your best shot.” In whatever you do, strive to do the best with what you are given,” Justice said. “Striving for your best and failing is better than failing to strive for your best. To me, a person is only a failure if they don’t’ go out there and give their best.” Photo by Mike McClure

The Seaford High School girls’ tennis team held its banquet last Wednesday evening at Grotto’s in Seaford. Coach Robert Hastings thanked the parents, boosters, and assistant coach Gigi Dickerson for all the support throughout the season. The Seaford girls will lose a total of eight seniors including four that placed in the top three in the Henlopen Conference this year. Hastings could not pick one highlight of the season.

“All the memories are special and it is nice working with girls who are not only outstanding athletes but are leaders in academics,” said Hastings. “The girls show a passion for game and give 110 percent. What else can you ask for, I have the best of both worlds.” Coach Hastings said next year will require rebuilding, but he looks forward to working with the players on fundamentals and building their experience. In 10 years of coaching girls tennis, the team finished with a winning record under Hastings. Continued on page 45

Seaford Star spring sports scrapbook Three Laurel players to represent

school at Blue-Gold football game By Mike McClure

For Laurel graduates David Albert, Gaven Parker, and Tyler West, playing in the Blue-Gold all-star football game at the University of Delaware will be a dream come true. The trio, along with head coach and Gold assistant coach Ed Manlove, will represent the Bulldogs at the 54th Annual Blue-Gold game on Saturday, June 20. “It was real big for me to be named to play in it,” said Parker, whose grandfather, Wayne Whaley also played in the contest. “It meant a lot to me.” “It was an honor to be selected in the top 36. Hopefully it puts Laurel on the map,” Albert said. West becomes the third generation of his family to play for the Gold squad. His father, Klay West (‘89), and grandfather, Ken West (‘59) also played in the game and his grandmother, Lois (‘59), also represented Laurel as a cheerleader. “I knew I would be teased if I didn’t make it,” said West, who helped lead the Bulldogs to the Division II state championship last Fall. “We didn’t win the state title but we did get there,” Parker said. “We had a lot of ups and downs. We have a lot of memories from our senior year,” added West.

SPRING SPORTS- Shown (clockwise from top) are: Woodbridge senior Jeremy Messick preparing to take a cut during a varsity baseball game; the Raiders’ Ivanna DeShields throws the ball in during her team’s home soccer game against Seaford; Seaford’s Hillary Cooper puts the ball in play on a corner kick; and Seaford senior Shannon Wright catches a popup during a varsity softball game. See next week’s Seaford Star for more spring pictures. Photos by Mike McClure

Now the three players will be playing alongside their Henlopen Conference foes against the upstate Blue team. “It’s definitely going to be a gelling experience,” said Albert. All three players will move on to the collegiate level following the Blue-Gold game. Parker (Salisbury University) and Albert (Wesley College) will be playing football for competing schools while West joins Laurel kicker Kyle Brown at Delaware State University. “It’ a nice buffer between the high school and college level,” Parker said of the Blue-Gold game. “It’s really good competition (on the Gold team). It’s like starting college right now,” said Albert. The annual senior all-star game also features the hand-in-hand program, which matches participants with people with cognitive disabilities. The three Laurel players have been matched with a Seaford youth and have already gone bowling with him and watched “Sponge Bob” at his house. “It’s very humbling. We’ve all really gotten a lot from it,” Parker said. “It makes you realize how good you really have it.” “That’s more of a lifetime commitment. You can play a football game for a day, but this you can keep going,” added West.

Happy Sweet TH

Birthday

A visit from former pros- Jamie and Shawna Waldridge of Bridgeville recently received a visit from 20-25 former pro athletes while they working at the Eagle Diner in Seaford. The two sisters, who grew up in Seaford, knew something was going on when they noticed a number of big men with Super Bowl rings coming into the diner. Around 8-10 former Baltimore Colts, seven Green Bay Packers, and a pair of former Baltimore Orioles came into the diner. They were in town for the Horsey Foundation Golf Tournament at Heritage Shores in Bridgeville. Among the former athletes were ESPN broadcaster and former Oriole David Johnson and former Colt Tom Matte. Matte let the sisters wear his ring and gave them an autograph. “It was really amazing,” said Jamie Waldridge. “He (Matte) was very friendly. He was a people person. It was a great experience.” The other players sporting Super Bowl rings showed them off for the sisters, but some of the former players were a little more shy than Matte. More rain- As if we didn’t get enough rain during the spring sports season, it’s back, delaying the start of the local American Legion baseball season. The Post 6 Patriots were scheduled to host Stahl Post 30 in the season

opener last Saturday in Seaford. After three hours of work on Saturday, the field, including a water covered infield, was pumped off but the game was canceled on Friday due to the forecast. “We had determined that the inch of rain we had Friday morning would make playing on the field Saturday at noon impossible,” said Delaware American Legion Baseball Chairman Roy Lamberton. “Since the sun never came out Saturday, the field would never had dried enough to play.” Quick hits- The Woodbridge varsity girls’ soccer team, which finished the season with a 4-2-2 mark in the final eight game, received no yellow cards during the season and is in the running for a sportsmanship award. Longtime Laurel teacher and coach Margo Morris announced recently announced her retirement after teaching in the district for 39 years. Seaford’s Paige Crouse is scheduled to sign a letter of intent to attend Potomac State College (WV) next week. Crouse will play soccer at the school. See next week’s Star for the exclusive story. Woodbridge’s Grace Reardon was recently named the WGMD outstanding female scholar athlete. Jorge Young was in the running for the male award.

Police Journal Head-on collision kills two people

A head-on collision on Wednesday, June 3 has claimed the lives of two people. A Chevrolet Cavalier was northbound on Atlanta Road in Seaford approaching a left-hand curve in the roadway, just as a Toyota Rav4 was traveling the opposite direction approaching a right-hand. Both vehicles arrived at the crest of the curve at the same time resulting in a head-on crash. As a result of the collision, the driver of the Cavalier, Roger Warner, 36, of Seaford, was pronounced dead at the scene. Warner’s sister who was seated in the front passenger seat, Alveena Splinter, 30, of Federalsburg, Md., was taken to Milford Memorial Hospital. She was treated and released with minor cuts and contusions. Four children were also in the Cavalier in the back seat. A 9-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl were flown to A.I. DuPont Children’s Hospital in Rockland for multiple trauma and are listed in serious condition. An 11-year-old boy was taken to Nanticoke Hospital where he was admitted for severe head lacerations. He is also in serious condition. Dwayne Eastburn, 7, of Federalsburg, Md., was flown to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Md., where he died as a result of his injuries. The driver of the Rav4 was identified as Jules Nerson Jean-Louis, 30, of Seaford. He was taken to Nanticoke Hospital where he underwent emergency surgery for internal injuries. The investigation is ongoing. It appears that the four children were not wearing their seatbelts. It is unknown at this time if Wagner was wearing his seatbelt.

Robbery in Seaford

On June 3 at 9:40 p.m. Seaford Police responded to a residence in the 700 block of Liberty Street in Seaford for a robbery. The victims, a 27-year-old male and a 41-year-old male, were confronted at the residence by Justin A. Cannon, 18, of Seaford, and an unknown suspect after they entered the residence by force. Cannon and the unknown suspect - described as a black male, 18-20 years of age, 5’8”-5’10”, 130-150 lbs., wearing a white t-shirt, blue jeans and a white mask - both displayed handguns and demanded money from the 27-year-old victim. After receiving none, both fled the residence on foot. The victims reported that one subject discharged a handgun while inside the residence. No injuries were reported.

Seaford Police canvassed the area and apprehended Cannon in the area of King Street and North Street. Further investigation by the Criminal Investigations Division lead to Cannon’s arrest. Cannon was processed at Seaford Police Department and arraigned at the Justice of the Peace Court #3 in Georgetown. He was charged with attempted robbery, possession of a deadly weapon by person prohibited, possession of a deadly weapon during the commission of a felony, burglary, conspiracy, two counts of reckless endangering and wearing a disguise during the commission of a felony. Cannon was committed to the Department of Corrections in lieu of $29,500 secured bond. The Seaford Police Department asks anyone with information about this crime to contact them at 302-629-6644 or Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333 or online at www.tipsubmit.com. Delaware Crime Stoppers is offering a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of person or persons involved.

Investigators learned that the two girls were de-robing and snapping the pics of themselves as they intended on electronically sending their racy photos to their friends- memorializing their behavior. This incident underscores the dark contrast of how technology can both benefit and adversely impact our youth. Corporal/1 Jeff Whitmarsh says, “We encourage parents to engage in serious and meaningful conversation with their kids about the dangers vs. the benefits of technology. As silly as incidents such as this may seem on the surface, there are real concerns afoot. Once a digital image is sent across the information highway, it no longer belongs to the sender. Photos all too often end up on various web pages and file sharing sites. It is not until the original sender learns how many people have seen their pictures, including strangers that the realization of their decision to send the photos in the first place sets in. This is why parents need to talk to their kids.”

Business owner finds man

The Delaware State Fire Marshal’s Office, the Delaware State Police and the Delaware State Medical Examiner’s Office are investigating a fire which occurred on Saturday, June 6, at 8:51 p.m. The Ellendale Fire Department, assisted by the Carlisle Fire Department, responded to a mobile home fire on the 9000 block of North Old State Road in Lincoln. The fire was reported by a neighbor. As firefighters were bringing the fire under control, the body of a female victim was found in a rear bedroom. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene and was transported by the Delaware State Medical Examiner’s Office to their facility in Wilmington for positive identification and cause of death. The 12’ by 70’ mobile home sustained heavy fire damage to the rear bedroom area with smoke and heat damage throughout the residence. Fire damages are listed at approximately $25,000. There were no firefighter injuries. The home was not equipped with working smoke detectors. The origin and cause of the fire is under investigation by the Delaware State Fire Marshal’s Major Incident Response Team.

On Sunday, June 7 at 10:50 a.m., the business owner of Aqua Leisure Plus in Rehoboth Beach entered the store to open. Upon entry, he discovered a man slouched over in a chair in the office, fled the store and called 911. Delaware State Police Patrol Units responded to the business and found a deceased male subject who has been identified as Joseph Francis Derosa, 20, of the 35000 block of Parsonage Road, Rehoboth Beach. Derosa was in the middle of committing a burglary when he died of unknown causes. The body was turned over to the Medical Examiner’s Office.

Teens caught undressing

At about 8:30 p.m. on Friday, June 6, a staff member of Midway Movies in Lewes was viewing the surveillance video system in the theaters when they came across two young ladies in one of the hallways. The girls, who were both 15 and from Chesapeake Beach, Md., were observed taking off their clothes and snapping photographs of themselves with their camera enabled cell phones. These acts were done in public and witnessed by several other patrons walking by. Troopers arrived on the scene and took custody of the suspects. They were taken back to Troop 7 on charges of disorderly conduct and their parents were contacted.

Child Pornography

Clinton L. Emerson, age 44, of Bridgeville, Delaware, pled guilty yesterday to receipt of child pornography, in violation of federal law. Davic C. Weiss, Acting United States Attorney for the District of

Delaware, announced the guilty plea following a hearing in the United States district Court for the District of Delaware. Emerson, who will be sentenced on September 22, 2009 by Chief United States District Judge Gregory M. Sleet, faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison and a maximum sentence of twenty years in prison. Emerson also faces a term of supervised release following his prison sentence of five years to life, and will be required to register as a sex offender in any jurisdiction in which he lives, works, or attends school. Emerson will remain detained pending sentencing. According to statements made at yesterday’s hearing and documents filed in court, Emerson came to attention of United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement after agents recovered evidence which revealed that Emerson had traded child pornography with another man located in Tennessee. Law enforcement agents executed a search of Emerson’s Bridgeville residence on January 28, 2009. They recovered computers that contained over 3,800 images of child pornography. The collection depicted children from infancy to age 12 engaged in various sex acts with adult males. An examination of the computers also confirmed that Emerson downloaded the image files between March 2006 and October 2008, and last accessed some of the files on January 25, 2009 - three days before the search of his residence and his arrest. During an interview with law enforcement agents, Emerson admitted that he used a computer application known as “Google Hello” to receive images of children engaged in sexual acts. He estimated that he had been collecting child pornography of several years, and stated that his fantasy was an adult having sex with a female child. Following the plea hearing, Acting United State Attorney David C. Weiss stated, “Prolific traders of hard core child pornography like Mr. Emerson should expect that they will come to the attention of law enforcement agencies. Once identified, they will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.” This case was investigated by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement and High Technology Crimes Unit of the Delaware State Police. For further information, please contact Assistant United Sates Attorney Edward J. McAndrew at 302-573-6277, ext. 130.

Thanks for helping the Class of ‘09

We would like to take this opportunity to express gratitude to everyone who made the final days of our graduating class such a success. The Seaford community has given tremendously to our awards ceremony helping our graduates earn thousands of dollars in scholarships and awards. These financial opportunities are imperative in ensuring our students have the prospect to further their education. My personal thanks to all organizations and individuals who made generous donations on behalf of our students. Special thanks go to Marsha Dickerson, Leigh Anne Tull, Marc Dickerson, and Kedra Lineweaver for arranging the awards program. The apex of the week was the graduation ceremony. I would personally like to express thanks to the following people who helped to create an outstanding commencement ceremony: Lynne Banning, Susan Cox-Cannon, Roy Whittaker, Steve Henry, our district and high school custodial staff, Jonathan Griffith, Douglas Brown, Kedra Lineweaver, Leigh Anne Tull, Marc Dickerson, and Virginia Dickerson. Our entire district staff also deserves recognition for the work laying the foundation for our students over their 13 years of education. For those of you who were in attendance at our graduation ceremony, although the weather attempted to dampen the event, we appreciate the respect and dignity which you demonstrated under the circumstances and thank you for a memorable night our graduating seniors will remember for the rest of their lives. It is with great pride that we serve this community as our high school administrative team. We bid farewell to Seaford’s Class of 2009 and we look forward to an equally wonderful experience with the Class of 2010. Clarence M. Davis Principal Seaford Senior High School

A new job idea

I’ve noticed that much of the grass along Route 13 and many of the state roads is not being cut. I suppose this is due to the shortfall we are experiencing at this time, but I was wondering how those man hours were being used if not spent on the grass? There’s also the fact that the Woodland Ferry is again out of service and I thought maybe those man hours saved cutting grass, could be put to use rowing the Ferry back and forth across the Nanticoke.

Razor Sports games the answer?

It appears to me that the state has run out of ideas in solving their budgetary woes. I would like to present an immediate solution that will generate millions of dollars to the state this year. Noting that Sportsbetting has become law and with the support of the Supreme Court, now is the time to introduce the Razor Sports Lottery games in our state. These games, at minimal cost to initiate, will instantly generate monies that could save teaching jobs, increase revenue to the general fund or cut down on state workers’ percent of salary reductions. As I have not heard of any forward thinking ideas only cuts, cuts and more cuts, these games are progressive and real. Real monies that could be generating in September. The Razor Sports Lottery games will not pose any problem to our racinos, but instead complement them. Our Lottery terminals can easily facilitate these games at little or no cost to the state. To note the power of acceptance, the Nevada Gaming Commission just three weeks ago approved Razor Sports in their state. Surely the leading gaming state in our country has a good understanding of how powerful these games are and the potential for revenue. They will be ready to generate monies for Nevada Casinos and Sportsbars to kick-off the NFL season. The governor has always said, “We cannot go into this (gaming) half-pregnant.” Well ladies and gentlemen, I offer you, the governor and anyone that will listen, a budget solution. Razor Sports offers all sports — base-

ball, basketball, golf, hockey, soccer, cricket, NASCAR, football and European sports. Yes, these games are going international in the very near future. Delaware, do not be left behind! I stand behind my original predictions, that the “Razor Sports games will put Powerball out of business.” That’s how amazing these games are to play. You heard it here first. Join me in contacting our legislators, we have just a few days left to help our state solve some of our budget problems. Gary Ward Seaford

Food from drive delivered

If you happened to be walking down Pine Street at 7 a.m. on Monday, May 11, you would have seen a very heartwarming and amazing event. U.S. Postal Workers from the Seaford area were delivering boxes and boxes of canned foods they had collected from their mail routes on Saturday to the Seaford Community Food Closet. This annual Postal Service food drive helps feed many needy families in our area and is routinely held the day before Mother’s Day. What a great way to honor mothers and their devotion to their families. Many volunteers were on hand to help. A huge community “thank you” to all of you involved — those who donated the food, the postal workers who collected the food, those who delivered the food, and those who worked to carry, sort, label and stock the shelves in the “Closet.” The Food Closet Committee:

Death with dignity?

We sing from our hymn books, “Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus Ye Soldiers of the Cross,” yet we can’t even stand up for what’s right and honorable within our social cliques which we like to call church. We think that we have done God some great favor by attending church three times a week and performing our weekly mask wearing rituals week after week, month upon month. We pound the pulpits against sin and then look down our “perfected” noses at the ones who can’t quite wear the masks as well as us. We don’t need a judge and jury, for we have already condemned them and are ready to cast stones. We say that the way to reach the gay community is through love, yet we can’t even love our brothers in Christ! We stand in church and give out information on the millions upon millions of babies being murdered every year and speak on God’s judgment on this nation because of it. All the while, we turn a blind eye, give praise and glory, and even draw our paychecks from an organization that euthanizes millions of defenseless, debilitated people every year. We like to call it “death with dignity.” God’s word calls it murder. It’s all being done for convenience and to save your bank accounts. These kinds of people take too much time and too much money. We think we’re so “spiritually acquired,” that

we are doing God a favor by sending these poor, helpless souls forward to meet God where there is no more pain or suffering. When did God hire us as one of his “death angels?” There is no value on human life among our generation. As Christians, we have internalized the characteristics of the world. There is no light to shine into the darkness, no salt to change the flavor of the world. Where have all the upright, Godly and honorable people gone in our society? We now welcome and embrace an organization that prematurely brings about death in many patients. The Terri Schiavo case is only one example among many, of a poor, helpless, debilitated woman who was put to death at the hands of a family member and an organization that was more than willing to assist. We as Christians like to turn our heads; this subject is far too ugly and it might stain our perfected image we have created for ourselves. God help us! What hypocrites we are! God loves human life so much that he sent his only son to pay the price we were too sinful to pay. This gave all mankind the opportunity to choose life for eternity through Jesus Christ. God gave everything for life. There is nothing more important on this earth to Him than human life. God is the giver of life, and God alone is the taker of life. “Pride comes before destruction.” When we choose to make decisions about life and death, then we have suffered with the same sin that caused Satan to be cast out of heaven — pride. “I know better than God.” Irene E. O’Day Georgetown

Only God can help us

I’m writing in response to the letter published in the May 14-20, 2009 issue of The Star from Helen M. Peters of Blades. I know Mrs. Peters personally, and she is a beautiful, sweet lady that I love and admire very much, and my response to her letter is not to try to change her mind or her views, but to offer another side to the issues she presented in her letter. I don’t want to “clothe myself in religion” but neither will I ignore my faith in an Almighty and Righteous God who hates sin. I don’t blame the wealthy citizens of this nation for the mess we are in right now, nor do I blame the current or the former president. The fact is that the blame rests squarely on the people of this nation. Indeed it rests on the church, who has tried so desperately to conform with the rest of the world, while forgetting her first love. Fearing that the church might seem “intolerant and uncaring,” she has instead become like the rest of the world, welcoming aberrant lifestyles, which lead to death and exchanging the truth of God for a lie, rather than speaking the truth of love. There’s an old saying that the truth hurts, and this is true. Sometimes the truth is very painful to hear, but truth brings freedom and life. Even though it is sometimes hard to swallow and may seem very bitter, like all good medicines, truth can bring health back to our nation. Continued from page 54

My argument all along.

ew N d Bra n io n ! t Lo c a

to convince me that one superintendent in each county versus one in each school is not a money saver when the average superintendent’s salary is $150,000. Wouldn’t one central personnel, finance and purchasing office versus the same in each school district save money? Appoint one board member from each school district to make up one central board with each getting an equal vote, saving the cost of having local board meetings. And please convince me you can’t get a better price purchasing 1,000 math books from a vendor than buying 100. And, guess what? Each kid gets an opportunity at the same higher quality education. Teachers are paid the same, there is no job hopping from district to district for higher pay, no poor or rich school districts. While this issue of school consolidation and superintendents’ salaries has come up at least once a year for many years, no one has come up with a working plan, or has succeeded in getting the political backing needed to make the changes. Legislators get their friends and families jobs in the education system by going to the superintendents. The supers, no dummies, gladly meet the legislators’ requests. The legislators are happy because they are a hero to the family, which translates into votes for the legislator. Do you think the legislator is going to bite the hand that feeds him or her?

Like corporate CEOs, I want to see superintendents rewarded on success with budgets, test scores, SAT results, and the number of graduates who go on to higher education. Looking at the salaries of the state’s superintendents, some with the lowest test scores are getting hefty salaries. Teachers should be rewarded on their performance; tenure should be dropped. If you don’t perform, I don’t care how long you’ve been teaching, the school should be able to fire you. If you are being fired because the principal doesn’t like your hair style, you have a union and a lawyer to represent you. As a former board member I have seen teachers dropped for no cause but personal reasons, have their firing overturned and sue the district for mega bucks. As for consolidating districts, good idea, but let’s be realistic. Each superintendent has a legislator or two in their pocket. Which supers stay, which ones go? If schools are closed, which do you close? Which school board members are dropped and which teachers are moved? And, finally, which legislators have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to the pressure from those who are going to lose their empire? Even Governor Jack Markell says at this time the issue of consolidation is off the table. Which means in Delaware it’s business as usual and the taxpayers lose.

Opinion Letters to the Editor

Editorial Cleaning up the Bay shared responsibility

Not much was mentioned in the media about President Barack Obama’s signing an executive order on May 12 regarding clean up of the Chesapeake Bay. “Restoration of the health of the Chesapeake Bay will require a renewed commitment to controlling pollution from all sources as well as protecting and restoring habitat and living resources, conserving lands, and improving management of natural resources, all of which contribute to improved water quality and ecosystem health. The Federal Government should lead this effort,” President Obama declared. It was the Chesapeake Bay that drew many people to this area, for recreation at first and residency when possible. Blame the Bay Bridge for easy access to a way of life everyone wanted to be a part of. Older residents remember when the bay seemed full of life with plenty of fish, crabs and oysters, and perhaps fewer sea nettles that now keep people from swimming as they once did. There was plant life, too, so much so that it fouled boat propellers, and there are those who admit being ordered to use herbicide to quell its growth. A century and a half ago, millions of bushels of oysters were scooped up from the bay not for their salty, slippery meat but for the minerals in shells. Millions more continue to be harvested today to be eaten. Too bad. The oyster provides natural filtration. The late Max Chambers of Eden, Md., used to demonstrate that with a fish tank full of green water containing a few oysters. By the end of a day-long conference, the water would be clean. A bushel of oysters, it is estimated, can filter 3,000 gallons of water per day. But there are too few oysters left in the bay to filter the whole bay. Various agencies and organizations have tried in recent years, by regulating and legislating and laying blame, to clean up the bay. State governments have signed agreements, but the bay is still polluted. So the federal government is taking over. A “Federal Leadership Committee for the Chesapeake Bay” is established to oversee the development and coordination of programs and activities of agencies participating in protection and restoration of the Chesapeake Bay. Lead agencies are ordered, with 120 days, to: • Define tools and actions to restore water quality and recommend changes to be made to regulations, programs, and policies to implement these changes; • Target resources, strengthen storm water management practices at federal facilities and on federal lands; • Develop a strategy for adapting to the impacts of climate change; • Expand pubic access; and

Only God can help us Continued from page 50

Therefore, even though some may label me “intolerant and uncaring,” I will gladly share the truth because I want to bring life and health back to our land. Contrary to what some believe, Social Security is not the best thing that’s ever happened to our nation. The fact is that it is a burden imposed on the younger citizens of this country and by the time many young people are eligible to collect on the money they have been forced into giving this failing program, it will have collapsed, leaving them with nothing. As the nation declines deeper and deeper into moral decay, a culture of death is being embraced, and those who speak out against such moral issues as homosexuality and abortion are labeled as hate-mongers. I want to be very clear. I do not hate anyone who has had or performs abortions. But I do hate the slaughter of 4,000 unborn babies that takes place every day! I don’t care how you sugarcoat it, abortion is murder. It is sinful and it is wrong. Like many good medicines, this might be difficult to swallow, but it is the truth. Because of the unprecedented slaughter of millions of babies since Roe vs. Wade in 1973, there are not enough young people to pay into the Social Security system and keep it going, and it will collapse. Also, because the church has refused to take a bold stand on this issue, our country’s economy is

beginning to collapse. Let me also address the issue of homosexuality. I am a prison minister, and I know several people who practice homosexuality, and I love them all, and so does God. I do not hate them, but I do hate homosexuality. I also hate adultery and fornication, because it leads to the death of the people who practice those sins, and it contributes to the death of the nation. This is not the babbling of someone filled with hatred. It is the language of love. I hate prostitution and drug addiction, but I know and love many prostitutes and drug addicts. I hate prostitution and drug addiction because it destroys the very people I love, just as abortion and homosexuality destroy many wonderful people. Finally, I would like to speak about President Obama. Many people are looking to President Obama and counting on him to save this nation from its economic downslide. They are counting on him to restore the prosperity this nation once knew, and for those who are counting on him to be this nation’s savior, I have to share some medicine with you also. President Obama cannot save this nation from its economic and moral downslide any more than President Bush could. The only One who can deliver this nation from the imminent danger it faces is Jesus Christ. He alone holds the keys of life and death and only He can heal this land, but it requires repentance, which must begin in the church that has forsaken His ways.

His Word says, “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14). It is not too late for this nation, and it is not too late for the American church. “That is why the Lord says: ‘Turn to Me now, while there is time! Give Me your hearts. Come with fasting, weeping, and mourning. Don’t tear your clothing in your grief; instead, tear your hearts. Return to the Lord your God, for He is gracious and merciful. He is not easily angered. He is filled with kindness and is eager not to punish you. Who knows? Perhaps even yet He will give you a reprieve, sending you a blessing instead of this terrible curse. Perhaps He will give you so much that you will be able to offer grain and wine to the Lord your God as before!” (Joel 2:12-14). Contrary to the article Mrs. Peters wrote, this Christian conservative does not expect President Obama to get everything fixed in 100 days or even in 100 years, and neither should the liberals of this nation, because our only hope is to humble ourselves and pray and seek the face of God and turn from our wicked ways. And I also ask God to bless our nation and to bless President Obama. Cheryl A. Showers

Happy anniversary to our Delaware Diamond Congratulations to DeeDee on her 10th anniversary, for she has been going strong for 10 years and will mostly likely continue to do so for the next billion years. Did I happen to mention that DeeDee is a star? The state star was named the Delaware Diamond, or DeeDee as I like to call her, in the summer of 1999 by 12-year-old Amy Nerlinger. Amy has just recently graduated from Boston College with a degree in Psychology and is going strong, just like the star she named. DeeDee, the Delaware state star, whose adoption was completed the following year on June 30, 2000, made DeeDee the first star that was registered by an American state on the International Star Registry. DeeDee can be seen from earth by using a pair of binoculars or a telescope.

The next time you are outside you might want to grab a pair of binoculars, look to the night sky, and try to find DeeDee. This little lady can be found on a clear night near the constellation of Ursa Major, also known as the Big Dipper. To find DeeDee, follow the handle of the Big Dipper, pass through the dipper’s cup at a diagonal through the lower corner star of the cup, and then follow that diagonal path for another dipper handle length to find DeeDee. DeeDee’s exact position is 9h40m44s with a declination of 48 degrees 14’2’’. So when you look up into the sky this summer and find DeeDee remember to wish her a happy anniversary. Rebecca J. Davis

Cleaning up the Bay

out it leaches from saturated sites — now say it may take decades before the improvements are detectable. Everyone points a finger at farmers as the biggest polluters, but every homeowner who fertilizes a lawn and every person who flushes a toilet bears a responsibility, also. While the government examines the problem and tries to figure out how much money will have to be thrown at the problem to solve it, we as individuals can do our part by wise use of fertilizer, fixing faulty septic systems, and remembering that anything we pour out or apply to the ground can eventually end up in the water.

• Develop habitat and research activities. The Committee will set goals and figure out how to monitor progress. Actions should be “based on sound science,” the order suggests. Hopefully, the science truly will be sound. The agricultural community, since the pfiesteria scare of the late 1990s, has greatly reduced the amount of phosphorus applied to land. Unfortunately, scientists — who previously thought phosphorous was tied up in soil particles, then found
