Laurel High graduating class features six valedictorians By Mike McClure A change in school policy produced six valedictorians and a salutatorian for Laurel High School’s class of 2010. As a result, all seven will give a quote and elaborate on it during Thursday’s graduation ceremony. Seniors Morgan Beard, Ryan Boyce, Chris Cutsail, Taylor Oliphant, Alex Rushing and Sierra Spicer each earned better than a 4.0 grade point average on a weighted system and are this year’s valedictorians. In the past only the top two students were selected as valedictorian and salutatorian. Morgan Beard- “It’s exciting. I guess it’s better because everyone gets recognition,” said Beard, who added that she is a little nervous about speaking in front of the large crowd. Beard’s high school activities include: National Honor Society, SGA, and 2010 class rep. She plans to follow in the footsteps of her sister, Courtney,

a nurse at Kent General, when she attends Wesley College for nursing in hopes of becoming a pediatrician. “They’ve (family) always been there. My mom is like my best friend,” Beard added. Ryan Boyce- “It’s been comfortable. I wouldn’t feel comfortable at a big school. You know everyone here, it’s like a big family,” Boyce said of his experience at Laurel High. Boyce was the president of the Science Olympiad in its first year and his been involved with track, soccer, SGA, National Honor Society, Varsity L, and the Leo Club. He plans to attend the University of Delaware and study chemical engineering. “Both my parents pushed me to be the best I can be,” said Boyce, whose mother passed away earlier this year. “It’s been like a trial for me and my dad to get through.” Chris Cutsail- “It’s always a good honor to be at the top of your class. A

lot of hard work paid off,” Cutsail said. “It’s (high school) been the quickest four years of my life.” Cutsail competed in baseball, football, and wrestling and also took part in National Honor Society, Science Olympiad, Leo Club, Youth Philanthropy Board, and was a BlueGold ambassador. He plans to study exercise science at the University of Delaware where he hopes to make the baseball team as a walk on. “They (family) push me to be everything I can be. At some points it’s easy to procrastinate and be lazy,” said Cutsail. Taylor Oliphant- Taylor Oliphant played field hockey, basketball, and softball and has also been involved with the National Honor Society and Varsity L. “It’s been really exciting,” Oliphant said of her experience with the softball team this season.

Engineering technologies students Tony Adams and Briana Joachimowski hold GPS equipment used to locate the silver half-dollar held by Kim Wright, student and part-time employee, during an open house at Delaware Tech, Owens Campus.

Engineering technologies event First-year students in engineering technologies at Delaware Technical & Community College, Owens Campus demonstrated tools of the trade during a recent open house. The event was hosted by the new Engineering Technologies Club. Jordan Beebe, mechanical design engineering technology student, demonstrated the use of a computer controlled lathe to make a model of the Delaware Tech diamond. Tony Adams, architectural engineering student, and Briana Joachimowski, construction management student, led students and staff on a treasure hunt for coins and pens that were hidden in the lawn around campus. Surveying grade Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment was used to find the items; the equipment is incredibly accurate and can locate coordinates to within one-hundredth of a foot. Dr. Doug Hicks, department chair, and Joachimowski displayed a machine that can test deflection versus load and described the impact it can have on a house; deflection is defined as the movement of a

structure or structural part when subjected to load. “Deflection can ruin a house,” said Joachimowski of Frankford. Joachimowski has been interested in construction since she was a child and hopes to be a building and safety inspector. “When I was 10, I asked my parents to buy me a tool belt for Christmas,” she said. Delaware Tech’s engineering technologies department offers associate degrees in architectural engineering, civil engineering technology, construction management, engineering technology computer-aided design (CAD) option and mechanical design engineering technology. Delaware Tech has transfer agreements for students to pursue a bachelor’s degree in engineering technology at the University of Delaware or construction management/business management at Wilmington University. For more information about engineering technologies programs, visit http://go.dtcc. edu/eng or contact Dr. Doug Hicks, department chair, at 855-5914.

Free workshop for homeowners Delaware homeowners are invited to attend free statewide housing workshops sponsored by the Delaware Attorney General’s Mortgage Fraud Task Force, in conjunction with the Delaware State Housing Authority and the Office of the State Bank Commissioner. The workshops are aimed at facilitating loan modifications, reducing foreclosures and providing educational information to help residents stay in their homes. The workshops are offered amid continued record-setting foreclosure filings in Delaware, which surpassed 6,000 in 2009. Filings have continued near that same pace, up slightly (6%) for the first four months of 2010 (2,044 vs. 1,925) during the same period last year. A more disturbing trend is the record pace of sheriff sales of foreclosed homes with June’s record of more than 500 homes expected to be broken in July with close to 600 homes. Homeowners who are worried about missing a mortgage payment, are facing foreclosure or suspect foreclosure fraud

are urged to attend to receive immediate on-site help. Mortgage servicers, state employees, and HUD-certified housing counselors will discuss mortgage modifications, the Delaware Mortgage Assistance Program (DEMAP) and other government homeowner programs, and foreclosure rescue scams. A workshop will be held in Seaford on Wednesday, June 9 from 4-7 p.m. at the Western Sussex Boys and Girls Club located at 310 Virginia Ave. Homeowners who wish to meet with their mortgage servicer are encouraged to bring information about their current income and details about their current mortgage, including loan number, monthly payment, interest rate and loan balance. Certified housing counselors from many non-profit agencies across Delaware will also be on-hand to meet with homeowners. For more information, call the Attorney General’s Foreclosure Hotline at 1-800220-5424 or visit www.deforeclosurehelp. org.

Delmar Board of Education gets tech update, hears scheduling concerns By Cathy Shufelt The Delmar Board of Education heard about the district’s recent technology updates during the board’s May meeting. With the help of a newly formed “consortium” of schools receiving over $1 million for technology, the district has been able to install six new computer labs, upgrade software, provide professional training for teachers and staff, purchase new equipment and laptops, as well as enable each building to operate on a wireless internet system. The district now has a continuous network that will allow teachers, staff, and students to use their laptops anywhere they may need to. The new technology will also be used for students to take the new Delaware Comprehensive Assessment System (D.C.A.S.) testing which was piloted this year. Parents and community members concerned about changes in scheduling at Delmar Middle and High School due to the addition of 5th grade students beginning with the 2010-2011 school year voiced their concerns and posed questions about the changes during the meeting. Specifically, concern over whether or not

high school students who wish to be in the school band and participate in sectionals will be able to get enough practice time with the band director given the addition of the 5th graders to the one band director’s schedule. “We are afraid that we won’t get the time we need to practice with Mr. Smith if more students are added to his schedule,” said one student, “….if we want to go on to have a career in music, it is important for us to have access to him, both in small groups, and one on one. Younger students take a lot of time and energy because they are just starting with an instrument.” Parents of band students spoke to the board of education members about how important studying music has been to their children, and how much better in school students who do things like study music or art do on state tests, and asked board members to consider hiring an additional band director to help alleviate the scheduling conflicts. Board of education president Joanne Gum told parents at the meeting that board members were still being advised of the proposed changes and could not give them an answer at that time. She did tell parents that it is not in the district’s budget to

hire an additional band director. The state allows school districts to hire teachers based on a complicated formula that examines student enrollment and other factors. Other concerns voiced centered around the elimination of programs such as art and band from the school’s curriculum altogether. “We have no plans to cancel any programs, despite there being no support

of such programs in the new ‘Race to the Top’ funding,” said district superintendent Dr. David Ring. Speaking in support of the band program at Delmar High School, another student said, “Band is a family…I was told I am the kind to student who will miss the school and that the school will miss me, band made me that kind of student.”

Laurel graduates six Valedictorians Continued from page 1

Taylor plans to attend Delaware Technical and Community College before moving on to Salisbury University where she’ll study Human Services. She joins fellow triplets Kelsey and Alexis as members of the class of 2010. “They’ve (family) been very supportive.” Alex Rushing- Alex Rushing’s activities at Laurel High include soccer, track and SGA. Rushing, who is the oldest of six siblings, says he is looking to set the bar high for his three brothers and two sisters. Rushing plans to attend Drexel University where he will study chemical engineering. Sierra Spicer- “That’s (being a valedic-

torian) always been one of my goals, to see all the hard work pay off and to have that achievement is priceless,” said Spicer. “I’m so excited, I can’t wait to walk across the stage.” Being on stage is nothing new for Spicer, who will be a theater and political science major at Lynchburg College. She is hoping to make it to Broadway, but will also pursue a career as a corporate lawyer. Sierra has served as Student Government president and has also been involved with the Drama Club, National Honor Society, and the Dawgs Club. “They’ve (family) always been there for support or if I ever needed any guidance. They’ve always been there for me with a helping hand.”

Business

Solar power plant sets stage for selling power Delmarva Power and a Harbeson-based renewable energy firm have established a legal way to enable Delaware homeowners and businesses to sell solar energy back to the PJM Mid-Atlantic power grid. A solar panel system designed and built by Flexera Inc. for the Forest Reach community near Bethany Beach has become the first small scale solar power plant in Delaware to sell energy wholesale to the PJM grid. The 15,000-watt system, which pays for running the 58-home Forest Reach community’s street lights, pool, pool house, irrigation and pond pumps, sets an important precedent, says Ben Farr, vice president of Flexera. “This opens the door for all kinds of commercial and residential applications that were not possible in Delaware until this project,” says Farr. In Pennsylvania and other states across the country, solar energy “farms” are being set up to sell energy to wholesale power buyers, who in turn sell this clean, renewable energy back to customers. Farr, whose company designs and builds state-of-the-art clean energy systems and works through legal issues and grants for customers in four states, says within five years the whole face of energy production will have changed in the U.S. and projects like Forest Reach are the beginning. Negotiations between Delmarva Power and Flexera for the Forest Reach project began about a year ago after Forest Reach

HOA President Mike Ball read about energy grants making solar installations affordable. The Forest Reach project is divided into two sections, one that meters energy to pay for the pool, pool house, irrigation and pond pumps and another that pays for the community’s street lights. The metered section earns energy credits against future bills from Delmarva Power. The precedent setter is the street light system, which wholesales energy directly to the grid, generating funds, not credits, to cover Forest Reach’s streetlights lease. The system, in accordance with current Delaware law, produces within a few percentage points the same amount of energy dollars that the streetlights cost. Farr estimates the first section will pay for itself in approximately 3.5 years and the second section within about 5.5 years, making use of current Federal and state grants, government-required buybacks of Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs) and by wholesaling to the PJM grid – all of which the design company handles for the customer. When the systems are paid for, they will genserate funds through market trades of the SRECs. “It is an advantageous time for people and businesses to set up renewable energy systems. Right now, before the grants phase out, there is a 20 to 30 percent return on investments and you can’t get that kind of return in too many places,” said Farr. For more information, visit Flexera. net.

Trinity recognizes top achievers Trinity Transport in Seaford recognizes Robin Hudson and Jeannie Meloney for their exceptional achievement of being the top carrier sales representatives in April. At Trinity Transport, the carrier sales team locates potential carriers in an internal database, and uses their own personal relationships to connect loads of freight with carriers who can provide the transportation services. Once the load is booked and dispatched, they monitor the process to make sure the load is delivered on time.

Dobson

Trinity also acknowledges Mike Dobson for being the top senior account manager in April. As an inside salesman and an account manager, Dobson’s goal is to manage the daily needs of existing customers and soHudson licit prospective customers. Similar to an employee of the month award, Trinity announces that their April “MVP-Making Valuable Progress” honor goes to the Trinity Foundation board group. The board consists of six members: Adam Miller, director; David Farris, assistant director; Vikki Marquis, secretary; Kendra Sellers, auditor; Burnice Lankford, treasurer; and Rachel Dukes, apprentice. The board won the MVP award for their hard work on the fourth annual Trinity Foundation gala that raised $10,000.

Businesses are cautioned about cashing Delaware refund checks

As the Division of Revenue continues issuing tax refunds, director Patrick T. Carter reminds any business cashing State of Delaware Personal Income Tax refund checks to first verify taxpayer information. Because fraudulent checks have turned up in the past, Carter is asking businesses to protect themselves against this type of scam. Businesses that are presented with Delaware tax refund checks are asked to contact the Division of Revenue’s Refund ACD Line at 302-577-8784 to verify that the following information on the refund check also matches Division of Revenue records: Tax Payer Name, Tax Payer Address, Check Amount, Check Number, Check Date. “This is not an advisory telling businesses that a large number of fraudulent refund checks are being presented, because fraudulent refund checks are pretty rare,” says Carter. “We are advising that we have a way to identify fraudulent checks and are asking businesses to take extra precaution for their own protection. To ensure the validity of a refund check only takes a few minutes, but this is a step that could save businesses hundreds or possibly even thousands of dollars.” So far this tax season the Delaware Division of Revenue is aware of less than a handful of fraudulent refund checks.

Edward Jones receives high marks

MORNING STAR • JuNe 3 - 9, 2010

Dale Dunning’s life changes over a bowl of soup By James Diehl

osting a prayer group in her Angola-area home one day in 1996, Dale Dunning had a sudden urge to make some soup for her friends. She had no idea at the time what that simmering pot of chicken, noodles and vegetables would mean in her life, but it changed it forever. That seemingly innocent pot of soup started the Rehoboth Beach native on a journey that has featured more twists and turns than the best suspense thriller on bookshelves today. It has become her life’s work; her soup is now what defines her as a person, as an ordained minister and as a pillar of the communities where she works. “I just love doing this. This is a call of God and when God calls you to do something, it never gets old,” says Rev. Dunning, who will receive her master’s degree in theology later this month. “You’re just always trying to find ways to make it better. You always wonder if you’ve done enough.” It would be physically difficult for the mother of four to do much more than she currently does – every day during the week, she’s someplace in Sussex County serving heaping bowls of her homemade soup. She makes nearly 1,000 quarts of soup each week, serving several hundred people from Laurel, to Rehoboth, to Georgetown. This fall, she will expand her ministry northward into New Castle County – she even has her eyes on a commercial building that would allow her to take her ministry to the next level. And she does it all with a compassion and an understanding that is hard to find in today’s modern society. She cares not what someone looks like, what they’re dressed like or what choices they’ve made in their lives. All she knows is that the people who come for her soup are a bit down on their luck and they need something to eat – so she serves them with a smile and a heartfelt “thank you” for coming by. “These people are like my brothers, my sisters, my aunts and my uncles. That’s really who they remind me of,” she says. “Sometimes you get disgusted with your family, but you still love them and you still forgive them. This is just a love that I cannot explain. I wouldn’t have chosen me for this, but God did, and I’m grateful for

Contact James Diehl at 302-222-2685 or email Bryant richardson, brichardson@ mspublications.com the call.” It’s impossible to talk with Dunning and not feel the passion that she exudes, to hear the love and compassion in her voice. She enjoys what she loves, and she’s determined to help as many people as she can – it matters not what’s going on in her life. A few short years ago, Dunning and her husband, Ken, went through a difficult patch in their own lives. The bank foreclosed on their home, they lived in their car for a time and many of the people who they thought were their friends abandoned them. It was a difficult and troubling time for the couple, but they persevered. And through it all, Dunning continued making her soup. It didn’t matter if she had a stove or a hot plate, or even if the soup needed to be served cold. Her ministry was going to continue, and continue it did. Going through her own personal tribulations even had an unintended benefit, one she certainly couldn’t see at the time. It helped her relate better to her “soupies,” and her ministry is better today because of those nights spent in the car with her beloved husband. “Going through that really taught me something I could never have learned in any textbook,” she says today, while volunteers prepare helpings of her freshly made soup in the background. “I remember those days when I was hurting so bad and wanted someone to help me; now I get a chance to do that for others. It was just something that we were meant to go through.” Jusst Sooup Ministry – there’s an extra letter in each word to remind Dunning of her humble beginnings – was founded in 1996 with nothing more than a pot and a hot plate. Since then, the ministry has served thousands of Sussex Countians, some who have endured a lifetime of challenges and others who never envisioned

Rev. Dale Dunning makes nearly 1,000 quarts of soup each week to help the hungry and needy of Sussex County. In the last two years, the Rehoboth native has been featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show and in People Magazine, and has been named a Jefferson Award winner for her work.

needing the services of a soup kitchen. All are welcomed with open arms by Dunning, her family and her volunteers. “I have a wonderful life, a wonderful husband and a roof over my head, and I want the same thing for those people who

are out on the street,” says Dunning. “I know what they are going through and I want to do what I can. When people realize that you love them, they’ll listen to you and you can help shape their lives.” Continued to page nine

Jusst Sooup Ministry wants to expand Continued from page eight

In the last two years, Dunning has appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show, been featured in People Magazine’s “Heroes in Hard Times” series and has been honored with a Jefferson Award. Her ministry has finally received the recognition she was hoping for, which has led to more donations and a greater understanding for the plight of those she helps. But she is determined to never forget her humble beginnings, thus the unique name of her ministry. “My son told me I needed a name for this and the Holy Spirit said to keep the focus on Him, and that it was just soup,” she recalls. “I still remember seeing the writing on the wall, and that’s how it was spelled. That name speaks to my heart and reminds me to never forget where I came from.” These days, Dunning travels southern Delaware in a motor home and a van, each advertising her unique ministry. She serves soup at the Home of the Brave in Milford, at churches in Rehoboth and Georgetown and every week serves the hungry at two Laurel churches – Christ United Methodist Church on Tuesdays and New Zion United Methodist Church on Wednesdays. Sometimes it’s clam chowder, sometimes chicken noodle. It could be black eyed pea, or lima bean or chicken rice vegetable. It really doesn’t matter what’s in the pot, what matters is helping those in need and spreading her message of goodwill and Christian-based beliefs. “The people who come in are just so grateful,” she says. “I’ll never forget this one guy in Laurel who kept telling me how thankful he was that I was there… He said he really appreciated that I never judged him; he just wanted someone who would receive him and accept him. And that’s exactly what I want to do.” In addition to serving soup, and lots of it, Jusst Sooup Ministry helps with transportation issues, groceries, rent, clothing and school supplies, among other things.

Ken Dunning works three jobs to keep the ministry funded – it’s as important to him as it is to his wife of nearly 39 years. “He even said one time he’d do four jobs if he needed to, but you can only do so much,” says Rev. Dunning. “After a while, you get weary. And you don’t need to get weary in what we’re doing.” Dunning is currently on a mission to buy a building for her ministry. She has her eyes set on a structure on Route 9, just west of Lewes, that would allow her to offer short term housing, showers and meals to those in need. She hopes to find 300 good-hearted people who can each donate $1,000 to the cause – the building is listed for just under $300,000. “I want to keep doing what I’m doing, but I also want a building so that I can take my ministry to the next level,” she says. “People are hurting right now and they want to know that someone cares.” To learn more about Jusst Sooup Ministry, or to donate to the cause, contact Dunning at 644-8113.

MORNING STAR • JuNe 3 - 9, 2010

Waller was the secret behind Papale’s rise to fame By Tony E. Windsor

He is arguably the most successful athlete in Delaware sports history, but you won’t hear that from him. Ron Waller is a quiet, unassuming man. But, while he may not brag about his sports career, he carries within his soul over 50 years of football greatness. He also knows first hand how the Disney movie company rewrote history in its 2006 movie, “Invincible.” The movie is about school teacher and part time bar bouncer, Vince Papale who became a member of the NFL Philadelphia Eagles with no prior high school or college football playing experience. Waller actually played a pivotal role in Papale’s launch to sports fame. Waller was nothing short of a prodigy as he grew up in Laurel and attended Laurel High School. He set a high school football record in 1950 that, even by today’s standards, is nothing short of amazing. In that year, as a senior at Laurel High School, Waller racked up awe-inspiring numbers: 213 points on 30 touchdowns and 33 points after touchdowns (PATs). He did this in a season with only eight games. His high school total was 464 points in only 22 games. He was officially referred to as “Mr. Touchdown.” During the 1950 Thanksgiving game between rivals Laurel and Seaford high schools, Waller scored a massive five touchdowns and piled up 37 points. That year he was ranked second best football

player in the United States. But, not only was Waller a runner, but also a passer and punter. From punt formation nine yards deep into his own team’s end zone, Waller ran for a 109 yard touchdown. Waller talks about football like most people talk about their children. His eyes light up as he recounts some of the myriads of memories he has of the game. He still marvels at how he became so fast as a runner when he started out so slow. “When I was in the eighth grade I was five feet, five inches tall and weighed 160 pounds. They used to joke that the only way I could get to second base was to hit a home run,” he said grinning. “Over the summer between eighth and ninth grade I shot up five inches and got really fast. I have no idea how I got so fast.” In both his junior and senior years at Laurel, Waller was named all-state running back by the Delaware Sports Writers and Broadcasters Association and in his senior year was named Delaware’s outstanding athlete of the year, an honor he would repeat in 1955, as a rookie member of the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams. Even with his astonishing high school football career, Waller headed off to college with no notion that he would ever be a professional ball player. But, he wanted to play football, so though he was courted by colleges including Duke University, Ohio State, Virginia Tech and Tennessee State, he chose the University of Maryland because he felt they had a good football program. He enrolled and majored in gov-

ernment politics. At college, Waller’s athletic streak continued. He led the Terrapins to an undefeated season and national championship in 1953 and made two college bowl appearances. There was little chance that a major collegiate player like Waller could escape the eye of the National Football League

(NFL). After graduating from the University of Maryland, Waller was a second round NFL draft pick for the Los Angeles Rams. At age 22, and in his first year with the Rams, Waller rushed for 716 yards with seven touchdowns. He also made 24 receptions for 225 yards and a touchdown. In his rookie year he made all-pro and, along with Al Ameche from the Baltimore

MORNING STAR • JUNE 3 - 9, 2010 Colts, was one of only two rookies to make the NFL Pro Bowl. Waller spent three seasons with the Rams and in 1958 he suffered a serious knee injury. Called an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), this injury is very familiar to football players and today is treatable with reconstructive surgery and rehabilitation. However, in 1958 it was a career killer. After playing 42 games in the NFL, Waller was disabled and left the Rams. A few years later, in 1960, feeling like he was strong on his leg, Waller was picked up by the Los Angeles Chargers (now San Diego Chargers) in the American Football League (AFL). After playing only two games Waller realized his gridiron running days were over. “I started working out and was feeling real good,” he said. “But then when I got in the game I realized I could run, but I couldn’t cut. My knee wouldn’t handle that. If you can’t cut, you are no good in the game.” Waller left the football playing field but his love for the sport kept him in the game. Starting in 1966, Waller spent the next 20 years coaching in the Atlantic Coast Football League and the United States Football League. In 1973, after head coach Harland Svare stepped down amidst a miserable 1-6-1 start to the season, Waller took over as head coach. Looking back, Waller does not consider his stint as head coach of the NFL Chargers a high point in his career. “The team was terrible,” he said. “We had to dodge trash and things the fans would throw at us when we were leaving the field. When I was offered the job as head coach I told them I did not want it. But they made me a pretty good offer to finish out the season, so I took it.” While coaching the Chargers, Waller had legendary quarterback Johnny Unitas playing for him. Unitas had been picked up by the Chargers that year but at age 40, did not have the arm he possessed with the Baltimore Colts. With the Chargers Unitas completed only 34 passes for 471 yards. The writing was on the wall for the man once called “The Golden Arm.” “I wasn’t going to tell one of the greatest players ever in the NFL that he was too old to play the game,” Waller said. “But, he was really beat up and in bad shape by this time. I remember telling Unitas that I was going to leave it up to him. If he felt like he could play I would make him starting quarterback. So, he told me that he knew I had a younger guy (John Hadl) available, so it was best I use him. I always appreciated Johnny [Unitas] letting me off the hook and backing out on his own.” After that one season with the Chargers Johnny Constatine Unitas retired from

football with 22 NFL records. In 2002 he died of heart failure at the age of 69. It was in 1974 while head coach of the World Football League team “Philadelphia Bell,” that Waller spotted an extraordinary talent while holding open tryouts for his team in Medford, N.J. “We had to get some talent for this team,” Waller said. “We held open tryouts in New Jersey to find players. When I pulled up that morning there were 400 people milling around hoping to make the team. I started breaking everybody down into groups to start the process of weeding out the best players. That is when I first saw this 30-yearold guy who was really fast. His name was Vince Papale and I knew he had what it took to play football. I wanted him on the team.” Waller’s Player Personnel Director for the Bell football team, Hugh Wyatt, had been instrumental in helping get Papale to the New Jersey tryouts. In an article written on his website coachwyatt.com, Wyatt recalls the way it really was. “‘Invincible‚’ as Disney slyly tells us, is ‘inspired by a true story,” Wyatt says. “It’s the story of Vince Papale, who against long odds won a spot with the Eagles as a 30-year-old rookie, and managed to make a four-year NFL career out of it. He really did. That much is true. But, as Disney tells it, Papale was essentially plucked off the streets of Philadelphia, a guy with no prior

football experience to speak of who found himself playing in the NFL. Nothing could be further from the truth.” Wyatt remembers the open tryout in New Jersey and how Waller reacted to Papale. “Our head coach and general manager, Ron Waller shook his head in wonderment at what he’d seen. Vince Papale was big (6-2, 190 lbs.), he was very fast, he ran good patterns and he caught everything thrown near him. Waller, who had spent part of the previous season as head coach of the San Diego Chargers, said, ‘We didn’t have anybody that good in San Diego!’ Ron Waller knew talent, and he saw NFL potential in Vince Papale long before the Eagles signed him.” Wyatt said Papale was signed to the Philadelphia Bell for $16,000. Waller said he made a phone call to then Eagles’ head coach Dick Vermeil, and told him that Papale was somebody he needed to take a look at. Vermeil did just that and wound up signing the schoolteacher/bar bouncer to the Eagles. Papale played two seasons for the Eagles on a special team. Wyatt says he would rather Disney had told the story correctly. “Without Ron Waller, without the World Football League, and without the athletic ability and determination of Vince Papale himself, the story would truly be unbelievable - which is the way Disney would prefer it to be. But they didn’t have to monkey with the story. It’s good enough told straight,” he said. Waller said he received a letter from Vermeil after Papale was signed by the Eagles thanking him for making him aware of the talented player. At 78, Ron Waller, now retired, has more memories than he can most likely

share in any one sit down with friends. His accomplishments are recognized in his hometown of Laurel, where his life story is captured in three professionally designed scrapbooks put together by Waller fan, Morris Harris, of Delmar. The three books chronicle Waller’s high school, college and NFL careers with impeccable detail. “I was amazed at how Morris put these scrapbooks together,” Waller said. “He has pictures of me throughout my school and NFL careers, and they are photos I never knew existed. It is phenomenal.” In one photo Harris can be seen standing on the sidelines as a young boy watching Waller play in the 1950 Thanksgiving Day game between Laurel and Seaford high schools. Waller was inducted into the Delaware Sports Hall of Fame in 1977 and the Minor Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1983. In July 1991, in San Diego, Calif., Waller was inducted into the National High School Hall of Fame along with sports celebrities Tom Landry, coach of the Dallas Cowboys and UC LA basketball coach John Wooden. In 1996 Waller retired after three years as a player scout for the St. Louis Rams. Before that he was a scout for the Kansas City Chiefs. “I started my professional career in 1955 with the Los Angeles Rams and ended it 40 years later with the St. Louis Rams,” he said. Football is more than an interest to Waller; he loves it and his passion runs deep. “I can’t get enough of it,” he said. “I am amazed when I think about how fortunate I have been. To be a kid from a small Delaware town and be a part of all that I have been a part of is really great. It just goes to show that if you desire something enough you can have it. But, you have to be willing to work and give 1,000 percent.”

Nanticoke Memorial Hospital celebrates EMS Week By Carol Kinsley

Nanticoke Memorial Hospital observed Emergency Medical Services Week, May 16-22, with a dinner meeting of its EMS Advisory Group on May 19. The group was begun 18 months ago, “out of necessity,” explained Emergency Department Director Lisa Wile, R.N. “The relationships that have developed out of this committee have been helpful in creating the bond necessary to have the teamwork that is required to provide, through the whole process, the safe, high quality care deserved by our communities,” Wile said. Dr. Robert Hill, former emergency department medical director and now a vice president of client services for Emergency Physicians Medical Group, said the advisory group “absolutely has made things better.” He recalled that the hospital lost its trauma certification when it lacked the required orthopedic services, but regained that certification in 2009. The situation “affected confidence in the hospital in general,” he said. “The advisory group was part of the recovery, of winning the confidence of the EMS community as partners in the Emergency Department,” he said. As many as 30 physicians, nurses, paramedics and other pre-hospital emergency care providers and even an occasional politician have attended the advisory group’s meetings. The group offers an opportunity to get to know each other away from the stress of patient care, Hill noted. Among the attendees was Jim Cina, Bridgeville Fire Department member and ambulance captain, who has been a volunteer for 47 years. Also present was Shirley Hitchens who works in the emergency department as unit secretary and is an EMT with the Georgetown Ambulance Company, where she has been a volunteer for 40 years. Kelly Kruger is a tech in the emergency department as well as an EMT, serving on the ambulance squad in Georgetown for 25 years. Elaine Reynolds, a veteran volunteer ambulance driver and First Responder, is becoming more active with the committee. Chief Nursing Officer Penny Short, RN, BSN, said, “As a community hospital, it is important to make sure we partner with the EMS community to share information with them and [in order for] them to help us grow.” The hospital provides educational opportunities for EMS providers and has received positive feedback on its efforts. Short said, “They tell us we are the only hospital with a venue like this where we can share initiatives and get from them suggestions on improvements we can still make.” Steven A. Rose, who became president and CEO of the hospital in 2008, bringing with him 34 years of experience in healthcare, said, “The advisory committee has been one of the best things we’ve done. What a great place to start! EMS is the connection between the community and the hospital. The committee has enhanced the relationship between the hospital, the physician and emergency medical personnel. It’s really a dynamic committee.” Case reviews afford feedback from all sides. As he launched into a review of two accident cases complete with x-rays and

Carey, surgeon and trauma program medical director, praised EMS for quick transport of the first victim after a difficult extrication and thanked them for a tip he had learned from them. Before presenting certificates of appreciation to dedicated committee participants, Wile shared some personal connections with EMS. “I grew up submerged in EMS,” she said. Her father was a paramedic “back in the days of Johnny Gage and Roy DeSoto,” she said, and she

May’s drop in crude oil continues to work its way to the pump. For the third consecutive week gas prices continue their decline. Although current prices are 30 cents higher than a year ago, they are down 18 cents from the spring peak price of $2.93 a gallon set on May 6 and $1.36 less than the record high set in July 2008. Crude Oil Prices After plunging in recent weeks, crude oil rebounded, gaining more than 6% over the previous week to close at $74.55 Thursday, May 26.

On Sunday, May 23, Sussex County Habitat for Humanity (SCHFH) completed its first subdivision, Concord Village, in Seaford with its final home dedication. At that time, the last lot in Concord Village became the home of Maria Benitez and her four children, Gaby, Nayelie, Oscar and Franklin. The 19-lot subdivision located off of German Road in Seaford is the largest development to date for the local Habitat for Humanity affiliate. Since its incorporation in 1991, Sussex County Habitat for Humanity has worked with 51 low-income Sussex County families who have become homeowners. SCHFH AmeriCorps members, Maria, and local Sussex County Habitat for Humanity volunteers built the Benitez home with the help of Delmarva Christian High School J-Term students who framed the house by hand, the Rachel Grier-Reynolds family who helped build the roof, and several individual volunteers who came out during the winter, in 15 degree weather, to place windows. Financial contributions for the Benitez’s home came from Deutsche Bank, Discover Bank, Federal Home Loan Bank – Pittsburgh, Grier-Reynolds Family, Longwood Foundation, Marmot Foundation, Sussex County, and Welfare Foundation. Local contractors working on the Benitez home made significant in-kind contributions to the completion of the home. They include: Dukes Lumber, Gutters For Less, Jerry Carter Drywall, Jimco Electric, Mike Edwards, Nu-Tech Masonry, Owners Choice, Schrock and Son, and Webers

Well Drilling. Whirlpool also donated to the completion of the house. Habitat for Humanity seeks families who currently reside in substandard living conditions and works along side of them to build a simple, decent, and affordable home with an interest-free mortgage. Habitat provides the potential homeowner with training designed to make them successful homeowners. Sussex County Habitat for Humanity seeks business and faith-based groups to volunteer, Wednesday through Saturday, on worksites in the county. To volunteer, call Liz Barron at 855-1153, ext. 207 or email liz@sussexcountyhabitat.org.

AAH celebrates 20th anniversary Governor Jack Markell recently joined Secretary of Transportation Carolann Wicks to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Delaware’s Adopt-A-Highway Program. The celebration recognized not only the 800+ Adopt-A-Highway volunteers who work each year to keep litter off state roadways, but also several 20 year participants of the program as well as those volunteering the most hours, longest serving volunteer, greatest number of volunteers in a one group and group collecting the most litter. Originally established on April 25, 1990, volunteers with the program have logged thousands of hours working to keep Delaware roadway’s litter free.

The Adopt-A-Highway Program allows individuals, businesses, civic groups, service organizations, communities, church groups, environmentally-conscious groups and school groups to help keep Delaware litter free. Volunteers “adopt” a two-mile stretch of a state maintained road and agree to conduct a minimum three litter cleanups per year. “Last year, over 4,371 individual AAH volunteers picked up over 6,000 bags of trash, and spent 1,534 hours cleaning roadsides,” said DelDOT Secretary Carolann Wicks. To volunteer for the Adopt-AHighway Program, go to www.deldot.gov, Community Programs and Services or call 302-760-2080 for more information.

Page by Page News from the Seaford Library and Cultural Center

By Anne Nesbitt As part of the 150th Anniversary of the opening of the Ross Mansion, a special display has been placed in the library. A photograph of the Ross Mansion as it looked when Governor Ross, in October 1860, sent notes to a number of friends “to come and visit his newly completed cottage” highlights the display. Also shown is a copy of a letter Governor Ross had written to his friend Henry Adams, dated August 16, 1860, stating, “I expect to finish my new house by the first of October and wish you and your family would pay us a visit.” An old cookbook and some old cook-

ing utensils are included in the display calling attention to the fact that Jeanne Conner is producing a cookbook as part of the 150th celebration featuring old family heirloom recipes. The book will be available in the fall. Two library books appropriate to this special event are included. One is Roger A. Martin’s “History of Delaware Through Its Governors 1776-1984.” The other is “Historic Landmarks of Delaware and the Eastern Shore” by Betty Harrington Macdonald. This display case is located just beyond the bank of computers for public use and is on the south wall.

Save on your summer energy bills

Two strategically located billboards along Delaware’s resort corridors, remind people that open space and bucolic vistas are directly related to farms and the farmers that own and operate them.

New ag billboards in Delaware The Delaware Department of Agriculture (DDA) with input from the farming and poultry community has launched a campaign to make the public more aware that farms provide much more than food, i.e., they contribute to Delaware’s overall quality of life. One billboard is located on U.S. 13 in Bridgeville; and the other is on Rt. 113 in Milford. The billboards say, “Enjoying the View? Thank a Delaware Farmer!”

The scenic views like the one depicted in the billboard picture above are provided by Delaware’s more than 2,500 farms, more than half of which are family farms that provide a continuity of our rich agricultural and rural heritage that dates back to colonial times. According to the National Agricultural Statistics Service, in 2007, Delaware farms alone hired 3,223 workers and paid more than $36 million in wages.

With hot, humid summer temperatures on the horizon, Delmarva Power reminds customers of ways to save on their monthly energy bill by reducing their electricity use. The reminder to conserve energy to save money comes at a time when people are adjusting their thermostats to cope with the warmer temperatures. Delmarva Power suggests the following: • Register to use My Account, a Webbased interactive tool that is free and easy to use, at www.delmarva.com. My Account provides customers with a detailed analysis of their specific electricity use and offers ways they can reduce their usage to save on their monthly energy bills. • Set your air conditioner’s thermostat between 75-78 degrees. After removing the humidity, this can be a comfortable temperature range. Remember every degree raised on the thermostat can save as much as three percent on the energy bill. • Have the air conditioning system checked by a licensed technician to ensure it is in good working condition. • Change your air conditioner filter. A dirty filter causes the unit to run longer and inefficiently. • Close window shades, blinds or drapes to block the sunlight during the hottest part of the day. • Move lamps, TVs and other heatproducing items away from the air conditioner’s thermostat. Heat from these appliances could cause the air conditioner to run longer than necessary. Turn these appliances off when they’re not being used. • Check that all windows and doors are tightly closed to keep cool air in and hot air out.

• When possible, cook and use other heat-generating appliances, such as washers, dryers and dishwashers in the early morning or late evening when it usually is cooler. • Wash clothes in cold water and line dry. • Use dishwashers only when fully loaded. Dishwashers use the same amount of electricity whether they’re full or empty. Use the air-dry option if your unit has one. • Consider preparing light summer meals that don’t require a lot of cooking. If possible, use an outdoor grill or microwave oven for cooking. Delmarva Power customers in Maryland can take advantage of the following energy conservation programs: • Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) Discounts – With Delmarva Power’s discount program on select ENERGY STAR® qualified CFLs, customers can replace standard incandescent bulbs with more efficient CFLs. Save $1.50 on each single CFL and $3 on multi-packs when you shop at participating stores. For a list of participating retailers, go to www.delmarva.com. • Appliance Rebate Program – Delmarva Power residential customers can receive cash rebates up to $50 on select ENERGY STAR® qualified refrigerators, room air conditioners and certain energy-efficient water heaters purchased at any retail store. Delmarva Power also offers Budget Billing, a fixed payment plan based on the customer’s 12-month average bill. Customers can enroll either online or by calling1-800-375-7117.

A guide to spot clutter creep

If you notice these characteristics about your senior loved ones or their homes, clutter could start creeping up on them. 1. Piles of mail and unpaid bills. 2. Difficulty walking safely through a home. 3. Frustration trying to organize. 4. Difficulty managing activities of daily living. 5. Expired food in the refrigerator. 6. Jammed closets and drawers. 7. Compulsive shopping. 8. Difficulty deciding whether to discard items. 9. A health episode such as a stroke or dementia. 10. Loneliness.

Why seniors hang on to things

Following, from Home Instead Senior Care and Vickie Dellaquila, certified professional organizer and author of “Don’t Toss My Memories in the Trash,” are 10 reasons seniors can’t or won’t give up their stuff and what to do about it. 1. The sentimental attachment. The beloved prom dress represents the history and memories of the event; it’s not the dress itself. Save only a piece of the dress to make a quilt or display in a shadow box. Scrapbooking and converting photos to DVDs are other ways to save treasured keepsakes without all the extra mess. 2. The sense of loyalty. Older adults who’ve received gifts from family and friends may be reluctant to part with them. Encourage your loved one to give unused gifts back to the giver or grandchildren. 3. The need to conserve. Seniors are the original green people. Appeal to a senior’s desire to help others. Counter a senior’s inclination to conserve by appealing to their desire to give back. 4. The fatigue. A home with a lifetime of memories can easily become too much for an older adult to handle. Help seniors manage clutter by establishing online bill paying. Also, get your senior off junk mail lists, which can put them at risk of identity theft, and buy them a shredder. 5. The change in health. Seniors who have suffered a brain trauma or stroke, who are wheelchair bound or who are experiencing dementia may no longer be able to manage household duties. If you see a

health change, encourage your senior to visit his or her doctor and consider a professional organizer and caregiver to help your loved one. 6. The fear. Seniors often fear what will happen if they give up their stuff, like the older adult who saved three generations of bank statements. Use logic and information to help seniors understand it’s okay to let go. 7. The dream of the future. Those clothes in the closet don’t fit anymore, but your loved one is sure that some day she’ll lose enough weight to get into them. Ask seniors to fill a box with clothing they don’t wear much and make a list of the items in the box. Agree that if they have not gone back to the box in six months to wear the item, they will donate that to charity. 8. The love of shopping. Today’s seniors have more money than any other previous generation of older adults and they love to shop. Clutter can become so bad seniors can’t find things and they repurchase items they already have, contributing to the clutter cycle. 9. The history and memories. Let seniors know they can contribute to the history of their time and leave a lasting legacy by donating to museums and historical societies, a library, or churches and synagogues. 10. The loneliness. Stuff can become a misplaced companion. Loneliness may also lead to depression, which makes it difficult for seniors to get organized. Consider the services of a professional organizer and caregiver. For more information, go to the National Association of Professional Organizers at www.napo.net or visit www.homeinstead.com.

Breast cancer support group

Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition, Inc. (DBCC) has expanded its Beginning Your Pink Ribbon Journey, a program for women newly-diagnosed with breast cancer, by partnering with Nanticoke Memorial Hospital Cancer Center in Seaford.

tate cancer by receiving information and peer support.

Cancer Survivors Day June 6

Nanticoke’s Chief Nursing Officer, Penny Short, RN, BSN (left), and Penny Sheridan, RN, RNFA, manager, Nanticoke Memorial Hospital Surgical Services (right), present Colin McLaughlin, RN, with a “Nurse of the Year” gift.

Immigration law and stereotyping By Dr. Anthony Policastro I have often written about the fact that we all tend to stereotype people. There has been a lot of commotion recently about the new law regarding illegal immigrants in our southwest. One thing to be cautious about is the effect that it has on non-immigrants. When I was a college student in New York City, I took the subway to school every day. Frequently, people would come up to me and ask for directions in Spanish. Due to my Italian background, I looked like I might speak Spanish. Those individuals were in general terms, stereotyping. Because of my appearance, they assumed that I spoke Spanish. In a situation where there is an opportunity to ask an individual to prove that they have the necessary papers that confirm their identity, it sets up a similar type of stereotyping opportunity. Some of the individuals that are asked may very well be illegal immigrants. However, some will not be. For those that are not illegal immigrants, you run the risk of offending them by stereotyping. Hopefully, these individuals won’t be in a hurry to get somewhere. It would likely get old quickly if they were late for work every day. Is it fair to these individuals to be inconvenienced because of their appearance? There was once a study done in California. They had 100 teachers grade a series of four essays. All four essays were judged in advance to be of equal caliber. The four names put at the top of the pages were David, Michael, Elmo and Henry.

When the grades came back, David and Michael consistently had higher grades than Elmo and Henry. They then changed the names at the top of the essays. They put David and Michael’s names at the top of the ones that had been labeled Elmo and Henry and vice versa. The essays were then given to another group of 100 teachers to grade. The results showed that David and Michael got consistently higher grades than Elmo and Henry. This is an example of subconscious stereotyping. We need to be careful that we take into account the dangers that stereotyping can cause depending upon the specific situation in which it is used.

Join us on National Cancer Survivors Day, Sunday, June 6. This 23rd annual worldwide “Celebration Of Life” will give a voice to the millions of people who have been touched by cancer. National Cancer Survivors Day is an annual celebration that is held in hundreds of communities throughout the world. Cancer survivors, caregivers, family members, friends and healthcare professionals unite to show that life after a cancer diagnosis can be meaningful and productive. Nanticoke Cancer Care Center is hosting a “Celebration Of Life” on Sunday, June 6, at the Blades Fire Hall from 1 to 3:30 p.m., and the community is invited to attend. “Come learn how surviving cancer is an attitude about life and living each day to the fullest,” said Terri Clifton, National Cancer Survivors Day coordinator for Nanticoke Cancer Care Center. Anyone living with a history of cancer, is a cancer survivor according to the National Cancer Survivor Day Foundation. Approximately 11 million Americans are

now living with and beyond a diagnosis of cancer. In the United States, almost half of all men and one third of all women are expected to be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives. Learning about this disease is crucial, because many forms of cancer can be prevented and most cured if detected early. Major advances in cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment have resulted in longer survival, and therefore, a growing number of cancer survivors. However, a cancer diagnosis can leave a host of problems in its wake. Physical, financial and emotional hardships often persist after diagnosis and treatment. Local survivors, Lori Dalton and Lona Elliott, will speak about their personal journeys. The Bella Voce Choir of Sussex Tech High School, under the direction of Sarah Rose, will provide musical entertainment. Lunch and cake will be provided, and all survivors will receive a gift. There will also be door prizes given out throughout the afternoon. RSVP by calling 629-6611, ext. 2378.

“At Ease,” an oil painting and three sizes of prints by Ellen Rice, contribute to helping wounded warriors through Operation Mend.

Ellen Rice print to benefit wounded military Delaware artist Ellen Rice is raising funds and awareness through a painting she created specifically to help returning U.S. soldiers through the Operation Mend program. To date, Rice has donated more than $700. “It takes an average of $500,000 per soldier for what the doctors and staff at Operation Mend are doing – rebuilding faces, hands, providing travel, housing

and counseling – in short giving men and women who have served their lives back.” She is offering three sizes and price ranges, and $25 from each print sold, as well as a portion of the sale of her original 40” x 16” oil painting, will go directly to Operation Mend. In the painting, a U.S. soldier is pictured walking down Rehoboth Beach “on one of those beautiful days you want to

hold onto forever,” she describes. “You can’t see his face. You don’t know if he’s injured, but not all injuries of war are visible.” Rice’s gallery, which is open year round, is located at 103 Atlantic Ave., Ocean View.

Here’s how to prepare for busy hurricane season June 1 marks the start of the Atlantic hurricane season, and national forecasters are predicting this season, after a lull in tropical activity in 2009, could stir up plenty of trouble in the waters and months ahead. Preparation ahead of the storm is key to limiting and preventing loss of property, said Sussex County EOC Director Joseph L. Thomas. And planning now can save lives. For the 2010 Atlantic hurricane season, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is predicting an above-average year, with 14 to 23 named storms. Eight to 14 of those are predicted to become hurricanes, of which three to seven could become major hurricanes of Category 3 strength or higher, according to the NOAA forecast. Here are some steps to make your home and family ready: • If you live in a flood-prone or other vulnerable area, be prepared to evacuate. Plan your evacuation route now. Emergency managers will notify the public, via the media, of what areas should evacuate and when. In the event you evacuate, take a storm kit with you. Take valuable and/ or important papers. Secure your house by locking the windows and doors. Turn off all utilities (gas, water, electric, etc.) Notify a family member or someone close to you outside the evacuation area of your destination. • Secure all outdoor items. Property owners also will need to secure their boats. Area residents should clear rainspouts and gutters and trim any trees that may pose a problem during high winds. • Have a family disaster kit. This kit should include the following items: 1. A three-day supply of water. This should include at least one gallon of water per person per day; 2. Non-perishable foods and a manual can opener; 3. A change of clothes and shoes for each person; 4. Prescription medicines;

5. A blanket or sleeping bag and pillow for each person; 6. Personal hygiene items; 7. A flashlight and extra batteries for each person; 8. Special needs items, such as formula and diapers for infants, as well as items needed for elderly or disabled family members; 9. A portable radio with extra batteries; 10. Money. During power outages, ATMs will not work; 11. Fuel. Gas pumps are also affected by power outages, so it is a good idea to have fuel in advance. • In the event of an approaching storm, travel during daylight hours. Do not wait until the last minute to purchase gasoline and supplies. When a storm watch is issued, you should monitor the storm on the radio and television. An evacuation could take 24 to 36 hours prior to a storm’s onset. • If ordered to evacuate and seek shelter elsewhere, follow the instructions of local emergency managers on where to go and when. Authorities will announce shelter locations in advance of their opening. Make provisions for your pets, as many shelters will not accept animals. • If not ordered to evacuate and you decide to take shelter in your home, have your disaster kit ready. Keep your important papers with you or store them in the highest, safest place in your home, and in a waterproof container. Even if you seek shelter in place, you need to secure your home by locking the doors and windows. Turn off all utilities (gas, water, electric, etc). Monitor the storm by portable radio to keep up with the latest information. Stay indoors. Try to stay in an inside room away from doors and windows. • Use your phone sparingly. Make only essential calls and keep the calls brief. Report emergencies to 911. When reporting emergencies, identify yourself and your location, making sure to speak clearly and calmly. If you have a mobile phone, make sure it is charged and ready to use at all times. Remember that cell

service may be interrupted during roadways. or boil water until notified that and after the storm. • Do not re-enter the area until the drinking water is safe.

the case. The investigation revealed the suspect, Dorenda Howard, 36, of Gwynn Oak, Md., drove to the home to confront the female victim about having an alleged affair with her husband. Once at the house, the suspect assaulted the female victim, pulled a knife from her purse and cut the victim’s throat. She forced the female victim back into her bedroom where she locked the door and continued the attack. At one point, Howard pulled a plastic bag over the victim’s head and face and tried to suffocate her. The victim was able to rip the bag away and escape her bedroom. The victim ran to her son’s bedroom and called for help. Her son came out of his room and the two demanded Howard leave. Howard then attacked him and cut his neck too. The son ran outside and screamed for a neighbor to call 911. Howard ran to her car and fled the scene in her vehicle at a high rate of speed. Detectives were able to contact Howard and convince her to turn herself in. She responded to Troop 4 in Georgetown around midnight and was placed into custody without incident. Dorenda Howard was formally charged with the following felony offenses: two counts of attempted murder, two counts of possession of a deadly weapon during the commission of a felony, kidnapping and carrying a concealed deadly weapon. Bail was set at $171,000 secured and Howard was committed to Sussex Correctional Institute.

New underage drinking campaign

It’s an exciting time for teens and parents - prom, graduation, senior week, summer vacation. However, it can also be a dangerous time for teens as there is often reduced parental supervision and easier access to alcohol. Last year in Delaware, four teens, ages 16-20, were killed in alcohol-related crashes and 1,115 more were injured according to State Police statistics. At least 314 minors were arrested for DUI in 2009. To prevent this senseless loss of life, Delaware Governor Jack Markell is help-

ing the State Office of Highway Safety (OHS) launch a statewide underage drinking prevention campaign called “Under 21. Think. Don’t Drink.” Markell recorded a radio ad for OHS which encourages parents to talk to their children about the dangers of alcohol use, and the consequences – both legal and physical – of underage drinking. Additional advertising for the campaign, this time in movie theatres and on the sides of shuttle buses at the University of Delaware, will begin running in the next few weeks. The ads feature high school students from New Castle County schools and demonstrate that teens can have fun without using alcohol. So where do minors most often get access to alcohol? According to studies by the University of Delaware, 31% of teens reported that they got alcohol from their parents, and 49% said they got it from a non-parent over age 21. That’s why the Delaware State Police has also partnered with OHS to distribute the Pledge for Life in schools statewide. DSP’s School Resource officers distributed the Pledges in high schools last week and students were asked to take them home and sign them with their parents. Pledges encourage an open discussion between parents and teens. The campaign also includes an enforcement component in the Delaware beach area to catch minors who choose to turn senior/graduation week into a drinking event. Between June 6-19, Rehoboth Beach Police, Dewey Beach Police and troopers from Delaware State Police Troop 7 will conduct foot and roving patrols looking for underage alcohol violations. The State’s Division of Tobacco Alcohol Enforcement will continue these efforts during the last two weeks of the month in an effort to keep minors safe. OHS will continue the campaign in the fall with an online video contest.

New three-way stop in Blades

The Department of Transportation (DelDOT) has implemented a new three-way stop at the intersection of Johnson Road and Gum Branch Road in Blades. Traffic study results found that this change was necessary to control the southbound left-turning movement and the eastbound left-turning movement, both of which were free movements. Work consisted of the following: • Installed two additional stop signs at the location, one at each approach to Johnson Road & Gum Branch Road • Installed stop bars for all three approaches at the intersection of Johnson Road & Gum Branch Road • Installed double yellow centerline markings on Johnson Road between Seaford Road (Alt. U.S. Route 13) and Gum Branch Road • Implemented a new speed limit/40 MPH zone between Seaford Road and a point approximately 500 feet south of Seaford Road.

Great burger recipes for the grill The official grilling season has been given the green light and soon the aromas of backyard barbecues will be wafting in the summer evening breezes. The most popular item tossed on the family grill is the all-American burger. But when it comes to buying ground beef, just how much do we know? When a recipe calls for “ground beef” it doesn’t acknowledge all the confusing choices available out there. The USDA says “ground beef” is fresh or frozen beef from primal cuts and trimmings containing no more than 30% fat. It doesn’t say anything about designations like ground round, ground chuck and ground sirloin. Nor does it mention the differences in fat content, which can be as low as 7%. Cook’s Country comes to the rescue with its primer for patty perfection. Ground chuck comes from the shoulder and ranges from 15 to 20 percent fat. It has a rich flavor and moist texture. Ground sirloin comes from the midsection and can contain 7 to 10 percent fat. It’s tender and tasty but can be a bit dry. Ground round comes from the rear upper leg and rump of the cow. Its fat content ranges from 10 to 20 percent. It’s lean but can be tough. Ground beef can come from any cut or any combination of cuts and consistency of quality can be a problem. It also may contain up to 30 percent fat, so can be quite greasy. The Cook’s Country conclusion: “ground round” and “ground beef” ranked lowest by tasters when used not only in burgers but meat sauces and meat loaf. They were described as “tough,” “chewy” and “livery.” Ultra-lean sirloin was deemed the best for dishes in which other ingredients add the fat content and chuck was the choice for hamburgers. Here are their no frills recipes for hamburgers prepared on the charcoal grill and gas grill.

Loretta Knorr

Charcoal-Grilled Hamburgers Serves 4 Weighing the meat on a kitchen scale is the most accurate way to portion it. If you don’t own a scale, do your best to divide the meat evenly into quarters. Eighty percent lean ground chuck is our favorite for flavor, but 85 percent lean works, too. If you start with a chuck roast or steak, ask the butcher to grind it twice and expect some weight loss - 2 to 3 percent in our experience - to the grinder. Toasting the buns is an easy extra flourish; just split them open and lay the halves cut-side down on the grill rack for the last 45 to 60 seconds of the hamburgers’ cooking time. Ingredients 1 1/2 pounds 80 percent lean ground chuck 1 teaspoon table salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper vegetable oil for oiling grill rack 4 buns and desired toppings Instructions 1. Ignite about 6 quarts (1 large chimney or about 6 pounds) charcoal and burn until coals are completely covered with

The Practical Gourmet thin coating of light gray ash, 20 to 30 minutes. Spread coals evenly over grill bottom, position grill rack above the coals, and heat until medium-hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill surface for no longer than 3 or 4 seconds). 2. Meanwhile, break up ground chuck with your hands in medium bowl. Sprinkle salt and pepper over meat; toss lightly with hands to distribute seasonings. Divide meat into four 6-ounce portions. Gently toss one portion of meat back and forth between hands to form loose ball. Lightly flatten into patty 3/4-inch thick and about 4 1/2-inches in diameter. Gently press center of patty down until about 1/2-inch thick, creating a slight depression in each patty; repeat with remaining portions of meat. 3. Scrape hot grill rack clean with wire brush. Lightly dip wadded paper towels in vegetable oil; holding wad with tongs, wipe grill rack. Grill patties, uncovered, without pressing down on them, until well seared on first side, about 2 1/2 minutes. Flip burgers with metal barbecue spatula; continue grilling about 2 minutes for rare, 2 1/2 minutes for medium-rare, or 3 minutes for medium. Serve immediately. Gas-Grilled Hamburgers Serves 4 Ingredients 1 1/2 pounds 80 percent lean ground chuck 1 teaspoon table salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper vegetable oil for oiling grill rack 4 buns and desired toppings Instructions 1. Turn all burners on gas grill to high, close lid, and heat until very hot, 10 to 15 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, break up ground chuck with your hands in medium bowl. Sprinkle salt and pepper over meat; toss lightly with hands to distribute seasonings. Divide meat into four 6-ounce portions. Gently toss one portion of meat back and forth between hands to form loose ball. Lightly flatten into patty 3/4-inch thick and about 4 1/2-inches in diameter. Gently press center of patty down until about 1/2-inch thick, creating a slight depression in each patty; repeat with remaining portions of meat. 3. Scrape hot grill rack clean with wire brush.

Laurel softball team tops Red Lion, advances to state quarterfinals By Mike McClure

The Laurel varsity softball team got the bats going early in last Saturday’s home contest against Red Lion Christian and also got a solid effort from pitcher Stephanie Wheatley and her defense. As a result, the Bulldogs cruised to a 9-0 win to advance to the quarterfinals of the state tournament. Wheatley struck out the side in the top of the first inning, then the Laurel hitters went to work in the bottom of the inning. Leadoff hitter Kelsey Oliphant singled, Brooke Evans followed with a hit, and Jenna Cahall put down a sacrifice bunt to move the runners into scoring position. Alexis Oliphant delivered an infield singled to score her sister, Kelsey, and Evans came home on an RBI ground out by Breada Boyce to make the score 2-0.

“I was just trying to get on and get the early lead so we could get the momentum,” Kelsey Oliphant said of the leadoff single, one of her three hits on the day. The Bulldogs added a run in the bottom of the second when Kelsey Willey drew a two-out walk and Kelsey Oliphant doubled her in. Red Lion collected its first hit in the third inning, but Wheatley recorded a strikeout and Alexis Oliphant made a grab in center field to strand the runner at second. In the bottom of the fourth, Mariah Dickerson drew a two-out walk and came home on an infield single by Willey and a Red Lion error. Laurel took a 6-0 lead with a pair of runs in the fifth inning as Evans reached first on a fielder’s choice and scored on an error, and Cahall walked and scored on another Lion miscue. Red Lion Christian threatened in the top of the sixth inning, loading the bases with no outs. Sarah Townsend, who Continued on page 43

MORNING STAR • JUNE 3 - 9, 2010

By Charlie Brown Kenny Brightbill found himself at the right place at the right time in Saturday night’s 25-lap R.C. Holloway Co. Big Block Modified feature at the Delaware International Speedway. Brightbill was running in third and was able to capitalize on a mistake by the leaders to take the point and go on to his fourth win of the season. Chad Clark took control at the start with Robert Dutton applying the pressure. On lap three two of the top contenders, Jamie Mills and H.J. Bunting, who had just taken second, experienced mechanical problems and slowed bringing out the yellow. Clark got a good restart with Tim Trimble grabbing second from Dutton. Brightbill was on the move from ninth and was up to fourth with Beau Wilkins running in fifth. Dutton regained the second spot and started to once again pressure Clark. Brightbill pulled into the third spot making it a three car battle for the lead. Just past the halfway point, Dutton made a move under Clark for the lead in turn two. Dutton’s car slid up forcing Clark to go high. Brightbill spotted the opportunity on the bottom side and shot by both to take the lead on lap 16. From that point on it was all Brightbill as the race remained green for the rest of the distance. “You never know what’s going to happen,” said Brightbill. “I was just at the right spot at the right time. I want to thank the crew, Keith Coulbourne and all the guys for the good job they do on the car. It’s a pleasure driving for them. Dutton posted his best finish of the year in second and Clark did likewise by placing third. Fourth went to Wilkins and Jordan Watson rounded out the top five. Heats were won by Bunting and Mills. Scott Baker survived three cautions to turn in his best run and to record his first career victory in the 15-lap AC Delco TSS Modified feature. Matt Hawkins held second for the first lap before John Curtis moved into second. Curtis would chase Baker the rest of the distance but Baker would make no mistakes in collecting his first win in the T.W. Construction/Diversified Imports/Teo. Curtis finished in the second spot with Hawkins holding on to third. Fourth went to Tom Moore and Brandon Blades, who set quick time in qualifying, rounded out the top five. Steve White remains on a roll in the Mod Lites. Tyler Reed led the first two laps before White moved on top. Brandon Dennis got by Reed just past the halfway sign. A caution would allow Dennis to challenge in the closing laps but White stepped up the pace and drove to his fourth win of the season. Dennis finished in second and remained on top in the point standings with Reed posting a good run finishing in third. Fourth went to Tim White and Kevin McKinney rounded out the top five. Tim White set fast time in qualifying.

Third generation driver Derrike Hill gets first career win in late models Nineteen-year-old Derrike Hill added to a long family tradition on Saturday night at the Delaware International Speedway. Derrike’s grandfather Larry Hill was the Late Model champion in 1976 and ’77. Derrike’s father David is the all-time leading feature winner at the speedway with 138 wins and a five-time champion and Uncle Steve Hill was an eight-time winner at the track. Saturday night Derrike was able to track down Hal Browning by the halfway sign to take the lead. Browning started on the pole in the 20-lap feature and quickly pulled away from the field as Derrike Hill and Amanda Whaley battled for second. Mark Byram quickly climbed from sixth to third. Donald Lingo, Jr. was slicing through the field from 11th and was running in fourth by the halfway sign. On lap 11 Hill got a good run on Browning and took the lead at lap 12. Byram followed into second two laps later with Lingo in tow. Byram seemed to have the quicker car in the first and second turns and was able to stick a nose along side of Hill. Hill was the quicker of the two off the turn and maintained his lead to earn his first career victory in the Teco/ Westinghouse/Rocket.

“I’ve literally been waiting 19 years to be here,” said Hill. “It’s great to get that first win in. I know I saw someone diving inside of me late in the race but I figured that he couldn’t get by me if I could just keep my momentum around the top.” Byram turned in his best run of the season in second with Lingo, Jr. third. Fourth went to Ray Davis, Jr. and David Hill rounded out the top five. Heats were won by Derrike Hill and Whaley. In the 15-lap Crate Model feature it was former champion Jack Mullins, Jr. taking the lead from pole-sitter, John Imler on lap one. Mullins was able to open a comfortable lead as Imler and Nick Davis battle for second. The only caution of the race came on lap 11 when Skip Syester got around. On the restart, Davis was able to mount a challenge and take second with two laps to go but he would not be able to mount a challenge on Mullins. Mullins took the R&J Poultry/The Speed Shop//Warrior home in first. Davis finished in the second spot with Imler posting a personal best in third. Fourth went to Joe Warren and Chris Hitchens rounded out the top five. Fast time in qualifying was set by Mullins.

Andy Best scores first URC win at Delaware International

Andy Best of Dover had his dream come true Saturday night at the Delaware International Speedway, after winning the 25-lap Rislone URC Sprint feature which is part of the Taylor and Messick Delaware State Sprint Series. For Best, it was his childhood dream to win a URC feature and everything fell perfectly into place at URC’s fourth race of the season. A rookie with URC in 2009, it was ironic that his two biggest threats for the win were also 2009 rookie drivers, Jonathan Swanson the early race leader and Eddie Wagner, who raced in third most of the feature event. It was 2009 URC rookie sweep with Best taking the win over Swanson and Wagner. Making up the top five were Justin Collett and six time URC Champion Curt Michael. A strong field of 33 URC sprint cars took part in the racing program with heat race victories going to Swanson, Best and Wagner as Kevin Darling won the 12-lap “B” Main. In the 25-lap Rislone URC Sprint feature, Swanson was the early race leader followed by Best and Wagner. Swanson quickly ran to hide from the rest of the field as Best and Wagner settled in to run second and third. It was a mad dash to the front as drivers like Michael, JJ Grasso, Trevor Lewis and Davey Sammons started the feature outside of the top 12 starting positions. A very fast speedway saw the URC sprint cars racing at top speed and even at the halfway point, the brass of URC was still not in the top five. As the crossed flags were displayed, the top five running order was Swanson, Best, Wagner, Nick Schaluch Jr, and Justin Collett, with Swanson and Best in a battle for the lead. On lap 16, the yellow flag was displayed for Randy West and Jimmy Stitzel who tangled in turn four, on the restart, Swanson and Best locked into battle and with a strong run off turn four, Best took the lead. By lap 17 Michael moved into fifth with Grasso and Sammons on a charge. Sammons started last due to mechanical issues earlier in the night, but he was on his charge and inside the top ten. With the checker flag waiving on lap 25, Best scored the win, his first ever under the URC banner. Swanson delivered an impressive second with Wagner third. After Wagner crossed the finish line, motor problems were evident as the sprinter coasted to a stop on the backstretch. Collett finished fourth with Michael fifth.

Laurel-Milford state tournament softball game halted by rain

The Laurel varsity softball team’s state tournament game against Milford came to an end in the bottom of the third inning due to lightning in the distance. The game was halted for over an hour before being called due to rain. The second round contest was scheduled to be picked up on Wednesday (see next week’s Star for exclusive coverage). Milford’s Sara Kolobielski drew a one-out walk in the top of the first before being forced out on a fielder’s choice. Laurel’s Kelsey Willey closed the inning with a catch in right field. Laurel pitcher Stephanie Wheatley worked a 1-2-3 inning in the second before the Bulldogs threatned in the bottom of the inning. Alexis Oliphant walked, but was ruled out on interference on a ball hit by Breada Boyce. Wheatley walked before giving way to courtesy runner Alexis Hudson. Taylor Oliphant put down a sacrifice bunt, but the Bucs cut off the lead runner at third before getting a fly out to end the threat. Milford went down in order in the top of the third and the game was stopped as Willey prepared to lead off in the bottom of the third, which is where the game will pick up.

Delmar softball team unable to complete rally in loss to Polytech

The Delmar varsity softball team rallied from a 7-0 deficit to tie Tuesday’s second round game and send it into the extra innings, but Polytech came away with the final run in the bottom of the ninth inning for the 10-9 win. Caroline Phillips hit a three-run home run, Carlee Budd doubled and tripled, and Jen Carr doubled for the Wildcats. Delmar scored three in the fourth, two in the sixth, and four in the seventh to knot the score at 9-9

Delaware deer management plan complete After nearly two years of work - which included stakeholder meetings, public meetings, surveys and extensive field research - the DNREC Division of Fish & Wildlife (DFW) is pleased to announce that it has completed The Delaware Deer Management Plan: A Guide to How and Why Deer Are Managed in the First State. “Deer are arguably the most important wildlife species the Division is responsible for managing because they affect so many people. This plan will enable the Division to manage the Delaware deer population in a manner that meets the expectations of the public while also taking into account what the environment can support,” said Joe Rogerson, Deer and Furbearer biologist. The Division of Fish & Wildlife has never had a formal deer management plan. The new Delaware Deer Management Plan fills this gap three-fold. The plan first documents the history of white-tailed deer and white-tailed deer management in Delaware. It goes on to describe the current status of white-tailed deer in Delaware, and the positive and negative impacts of the state’s white-tailed deer herd. Finally, the plan documents the Division’s responsibilities related to deer management, outlin-

ing the goals and objectives for deer management through 2019. The new plan is both a strategic and operational plan, using hunting as the primary tool for deer management as well as outlining how hunting seasons are established and amended to keep Delaware’s deer population in check. Printed copies of the plan will be available in the coming weeks. For now, the full 102-page plan can be found online at http://www.fw.delaware.gov/ Hunting/Pages/Delaware_Deer_Management_Plan. aspx. “We recognize that this plan is rather technical and quite long, so we will be working on a summarized version that’s more user-friendly for the public. Those who want more specifics will be able to refer the longer version,” Rogerson added. For questions concerning the Delaware Deer Management Plan, or any other deer related issue, contact Rogerson at 302-735-3600.

Glimpse Of The Past

The Delmar New Century Club held its President’s Luncheon on May 25 at the Woodcreek Golf Community Clubhouse in Delmar. Amidst the beautiful setting of spring colors, the club ended their year with the installation of officers for the 2010-2012 administration. Entertainment was provided by Diana Wagner, who sang several selections of folk music and played guitar. Awards received at the recent state convention were presented. These included awards for involvement in Domestic Violence and for supporting Home Life projects. Two Delmar High students won awards on the state level for entries in short story and poetry contests. Sharon Shulder, a past state president and incoming president for Laurel New Century Club, performed the installation ceremony for the new officers. Shown, are new officers Becky Brittingham, Kathy Porter, Betty Tyrell, Doris Macky and Lydia Livingston. Also, Sharron Shulder, president of Laurel New Century Club.

Another way of life is gone, Doing the Towns Together but the memories live on LAUREL AND DELMAR SOCIALS

Summer is trying its very best to descend upon us. The muggy days we have had recently have convinced us that even with all of the problems of the world, we here on Delmarva will continue to have our own set of problems. These include humidity on some days, trying to determine whether or not the Woodland ferry will be available to cross the Nanticoke River, whether or not we as taxpayers will use our common sense and determine just what will be best for today’s children and the children of the Laurel School District in the future. The problems mount and we each must approach the problem with intelligence, fairness and an open mind. With all of this in mind, it was with great relief that I exited the Dual Highway on the way from Seaford to Laurel one lovely day last week and made an unexpected detour onto Camp Road. As I drove south past what was once the home site of Inez Cordrey and her late husband, Kenney, I pursued the whim that struck me like a bolt out of the blue. Between the Dual Highway (Route 13), and the alternate road to Seaford from Laurel (13A), tucked into the woods, there is a development that was once a huge hub of activity, commonly known as the Laurel Campground. Typical of the old Methodist Church meeting grounds, this development has small homes in a semicircle that face an open area. Inside the open area was where the major activity took place during summer camp meetings. Most center areas had a huge tabernacle where church services were held for one or two weeks during the summer. Guest ministers came from both area churches and from other areas to conduct the nightly prayer and song sessions. The homes were very modest, totally without air conditioning and in the early days of camp meetings, without running water. Those who owned the cottages, as the modest homes were known, would use the area pump and transport the water from the pump to their residences by the bucketful. For many years there was no electricity at the campgrounds. In many cases, the homeowners had moved to the city and only returned to “Camp” for the special services during the one or two weeks of revival services. Other owners would return and the wife and children would stay at camp for several months since “Camps” was a place that was less restrictive than city living. The Laurel Campground met the same demise as did other area camp meeting locations in Sussex County. Revivals became a part of the past,

Moments With Mike Virginia ‘Mike’ Barton air-conditioning and indoor plumbing became a necessity instead of a luxury, lifestyles changed. During the 1960’s and the 1970’s, those of us who worked in the old State Register weekly newspaper knew it was summer when one day in June the late Job Culver would come bounding into the office. Armed with a sheet of paper listing those ministers who would serve as guest speakers at the Camp, we would have no choice but to listen to Job tell us just what was going to happen at “Camp” that year. His dedication and enthusiasm were boundless, to say the least. Special programs were planned for each night of the special two week sessions that highlighted the summer. Local pastors filled in during the week but for the weekend services, and for the special two-week sessions in the middle of summer, the guest ministers and vocal groups traveled great distances to the meetings. Fire and brimstone filled the addresses given by the pastors, the music was old-fashioned foot-stomping Methodist hymns that filled the air as even those who could not carry a tune joined in with the singing. Camp meetings have not been held at the Laurel Campground for many years. However, the homes remain. Many improvements have been made to the once basic homes. The homes still form a half-circle facing the open area that was once the center of activity during July and August each summer. A drive through the area brought back a flood of memories of times when my family would have an opportunity to visit Brandywine Campground, Carey’s Camp and the Laurel Campground. As I drove around the Camp I could almost hear old Job Culver say, “Girl, I’ve got a front page article right here in my hand. Now, do me right!” Camp meetings have become a memory for most people. My quick trip through the Laurel setting made me wonder just how many of the current residents ever attended a real camp meeting. Yet another way of life has gone the way of change. But, the memory lives on.

On Friday evening, May 21, the DAPI Diamonds award banquet was held at the Del-Mar-Va Power Conference Center in Newark. At this time, Laurel School District’s Superintendant Dr. McCoy accepted the award for Educational Partner of the Year, for support of the Laurel Kids Connection Mentoring program. Jan McCoy was awarded Outstanding Mentor of the year. Christ United Methodist Women received Outstanding Partner of the year for the volunteer work they do for DAPI. Keynote speaker for the evening was Dr. Michell Brown. The Laurel Red Hat “Lunch Bunch” lunched at the Brew River restaurant in Salisbury on Tuesday, May 18. Enjoy a “tall stack for a tall cause” at Applebees in Seaford on Saturday, June 19, to support the Trap Pond Partners. This hearty fundraiser breakfast is yours for only $6.50 per person and $5 for kids 10 and under. Trap Pond is a delightful spot in our area for camping, biking and hiking, and we should support this cause, maintaining it for our pleasure. Also, there is a new Nature Center under construction. Gerda Naveira has recently returned from a vacation in Andrews, N.C., visiting her son and his wife, Art and Colleen. While there, she enjoyed visits with grand- and great-grandchildren in that area. Gerda was accompanied on the trip by her granddaughter, Carly, from over in Maryland. Many happy birthday wishes are sent to Lottie Masten, as she celebrates her 90th year on June 4. I hear that she will be celebrated with a shopping trip during the day and dinner in the evening at a restaurant of her choice. On Tuesday evening, June 15, “Friends of the Laurel Library” will hold their annual membership meeting in the Community room at the library. Guest speaker for the evening will be Michael Blaine, who is not only a Laurel resident but a teacher at our Laurel school. A slate of new officers will also be voted in at that time. All Friends members are encouraged to attend, enjoy the program, followed by light refreshments served by the officers and members. The Laurel Historical Society will hold their annual fund raising dinner meeting on June 19 at the Georgia House with a buffet dinner and program. This will be an evening of dining and discovery as Laurel native, Dr. William Campbell, presents a slide talk entitled, “The Prison at Fort Delaware: The Walls, The Water, The Diseases and The People. Of special interest will be the Fort’s connections with local family names. It

will prove to be a most interesting evening for all and if you plan to attend reserve your ticket, $20, from any member or send a check to The Laurel Historical Society, P.O.

Also, the Society would like you to know that the Cook House is open on Sundays from 1-4 p.m. during the summer. Come and visit this spot, rich in local history.

Letters to the Editor

Save our nation from socialism When Barack Obama was running for President of the United States, he said our nation needed a change. Many Americans bought into his rhetoric and agreed. However, once he was elected, the majority of Americans are getting a type of “change” that we were not expecting and do not want. The president has led our nation down the wrong path. Most every bill has been forced upon us and violates our Constitution and/or the Christian principles on which our nation was founded. It is increasingly clear that he is out to change us into a socialist nation and destroy our liberty and freedom! Within one minute after inauguration, the White House website posted his radical agenda. President Obama favors laws that promote abortion, homosexual behavior or hate crimes, forcing the hiring of homosexual’s in all work places, including all Christian and public schools and churches. This is also about tearing down the one husband, one wife marriage, legalizing same sex marriage and legalizing homosexual behavior within our military. According to the scriptures, our God hates the shedding of innocent blood. There is nothing anymore innocent than an unborn baby being murdered (see Proverbs 6:16, 17). God also hates the acts of homo-

sexuality (see Romans 1: 24-27). There is still hope! To regain our Christian principles, changing our nation back to what it once stood for, we all must get involved to be ready for this year’s (2010) and the 2012 elections. We must be equipped with sufficient voters to vote for the best, conservative candidates, regardless of which party they represent (unless they are liberals). Ministers from all churches must disregard the lie of the so-called “separation of church and state” that the ACLU and other secular leftist’s groups have thrown at them for the past 40 years. That lie was birthed by such organizations as the Ku Klux Klan, and advanced by former Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black, a former Klansman. Then atheists, liberals and the ACLU used that same statement as their mantra to silence all Christian influence in our society. Churches have been threatened that they would lose their non-profit status if they spoke out on political issues and in particular, political candidates, even though no church has ever lost their non-profit status because of anything political taking place inside or outside of a church. A “mere threat” resulted in silencing the church. We must stand up for our rights! The following is from Norman Thomas’ speech in 1944, who represented the Socialist Party and ran for the office of President of the United States for several elections: “The American people will never,

knowingly adopt ‘socialism,’ but under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt ‘every fragment of the socialist program’ until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened. I no longer need to run as a presidential candidate for the socialist party. The “democratic party” has adopted our platform.” Given recent events, could this have been a prophecy? America’s liberty and freedom are at stake. If we stand up together now, we can win this battle. We must clean house in our state and in Washington, D.C.! Select a Bible preaching church and/or some of the following “conservative parties” and get involved. We must take an interest and stand up for our rights or soon we will have no rights. Make your plan to help save our nation today.

ues.com Contact Ed Banning at ed.banning@ banningfoundation.org or 262-0659 or Eric Bodenweiser at ericbodie@comcast.net or 856-9395. We can assist you in ways to get involved. It is imperative you get active in your community and churches. Give a copy of this letter to your minister. If they have any questions about recommending a candidate for office, or speaking freely from their pulpit, have them call us. We can put them in touch with the Alliance Defense Fund, a unique legal organization that defends and protects religious freedom and will give you free expert advice. Should you be interested in attending a meeting with the experts from ADF, let us know. We are planning a meeting with them within the next two months, to be held most likely in central Delaware. If concerned citizens will encourage their friends and/or neighbors to get involved, then get out and vote, we can stop socialism in its tracks. If our churches will speak the truth from their pulpits and congregations get on their knees in prayer, we can change the course of history. “Pray, humble yourself, seek God’s face, turn away from your wicked ways and God will hear from heaven and will forgive our sin and will heal our land.” Ed Banning

Final Word

Seaford benefits from the life of Marshall Nesbitt Marshall Roberts Nesbitt passed away on Sunday, May 30, 2010. To say he will be missed is an understatement. Marshall and his wife, Anne, are representatives of all that is good about people who love their community and believe in giving back. In 1948 Marshall Nesbitt was transferred from the DuPont Co. facility in Wilmington to Seaford to serve as manager of the cafeteria in DuPont’s nylon plant. In 1958, just 10 years after he Anne moved to Seaford, he was elected to the city council. He served on the council for 24 years, often as police commissioner. In May 2009 Nesbitt had a street named after him. The Seaford City Council voted to name a street in the Seaford Industrial Park “Nesbitt Drive.” “Whatever Marshall accomplished on the council, he did with heart,” said Bill Slatcher, who was mayor during some of the time that Nesbitt was a councilman. “He enjoyed his time on the council and tried to satisfy the people as best he could.” In an interview with Lynn Parks in 2009 Nesbitt said that one of the highlights of his time on the city council was helping to oversee the transfer of ownership in 1969 of what is now Kiwanis Park from the DuPont Co. to the city of Seaford. When it built the nylon plant in Seaford, DuPont bought what is now Martin Farms, for construction of homes for its employees. Kiwanis Park was part of that purchase. Nesbitt was a big supporter of the city’s power plant and its “peak shaving” program, through which it generated electricity when power costs were at their highest and sold it back to the grid. The plant, which started peak shaving in the 1980s, discontinued the practice in 2006. In the late 1950s, operation of the cafeteria was outsourced and Nesbitt was transferred again, this time to the Seaford Golf and Country Club, which at that time was owned by the DuPont Co. He retired

in 1980 as club manager. When Nesbitt was transferred to Seaford, he and Anne bought a house in Westview. In 1965, they bought a house on Pennsylvania Avenue and lived there for 30 years, when they moved to Hooper’s Island west of Cambridge, Md. But they found that their ties to Seaford were too strong for them to stay away. They bought a house near Craig’s Mill Pond west of town in 1999 and live there still. Nesbitt was a 60-year member of the Seaford Lions Club and in 1996 was named a Lions Club Ralph Helms Fellow for humanitarian service. He also served for years on the board of Turnabout Counseling, now Children and Families First. Seaford will long remember Marshall’s contributions to his hometown.

It is the VETERAN, not the preacher, who has given us freedom of religion. It is the VETERAN, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the VETERAN, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the VETERAN, not the campus organizer, who has given us freedom to assemble.
