Laurel Citizen of the Year gives back By Lynn R. Parks

What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not work? James 2:14. Midge McMasters was already an active member of Centenary United Methodist Church, Laurel, when she decided that she needed to do more to help her community. “In James the Bible tells us that without works, faith is dead,” she said. “I decided that I wanted to put my faith into action.” In the early 1980s, McMasters started volunteering for the Good Samaritan aid organization in Laurel, working at the register in the Good Sam thrift store. “I was always straightening out the bags and people there started calling me the Bag Lady,” she said. By 1990, she was co-manager with Henrietta Koch of the thrift store. She still puts in more than 25 hours a week, helping to make sure that the store operates smoothly.

“Whatever needs to be done, she is right here to do it,” said store volunteer Vonya Cephas. “She’s all over the place.” Last week, McMasters was named Laurel’s 2009 Citizen of the Year. The town received more than 50 nominations for the honor, most of which were for McMasters. “The nominations were overwhelmingly in her favor,” said town council president Terry Wright. “They talked about the fact that she is a hard worker and about her ‘dedication beyond expectations.’ One said, ‘Every time you need something, Midge is there.’ Another said that she couldn’t imagine the Good Samaritan shop without her.” “The town is honoring a fantastic person in its first year of taking care of the award,” said town manager Bill Fasano. Since 1951, the Citizen of the Year award has been handed out by the Laurel Chamber of Commerce. The town took it over this year so that the chamber could Continued on page four

Council puts Village Brooke North on hold By Tony E. Windsor In less than 10 minutes, the Laurel Mayor and Council completed its Monday, March 9 meeting. The major item on the agenda was the second reading of an ordinance that would add a large parcel development along US 13 known as “Village Brooke North.” The council voted to table the second reading based on a recommendation from town attorney James Waehler. According to Laurel Mayor John Shwed, Waehler recommended that the town hold off before voting on the Village Brooke North project to allow the Delaware Office of Planning to review the project and its compatibility with the town’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan. On Feb. 17 the town held a public hearing regarding the approximately 400-acre retail and residential project. In December, the Laurel Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing and recommended approval of the project, subject to certain conditions. The conditions, 24 in all, included such items as the maximum number of residential units shall not exceed 2100 and the maximum square footage for all commercial units shall not Continued on page four

Candidates step forward for school board races

STARTS THURSDAY!

By Lynn R. Parks

With only two days left to file to run for area school board seats, several citizens registered as candidates to ensure that there will be races in all western Sussex school districts. In Seaford, three residents are running for one five-year seat. Douglas Collins, 22004 Thompson Parkway, filed as a candidate Thursday. Kathryn Kimpton, 204 Deep Creek Drive, and Richard Williams, 8443 Cannon Road, filed as candidates on Friday. They are vying for the seat currently held by Richard Kingree, who is leaving the board after one term. In Laurel, incumbent Ed Jestice filed for reelection on Friday. Jestice was appointed to the board in 2003 and was elected to a five-year term in 2004. Jestice is being challenged by Lois Hartstein, 30748 Cypress Lane, and Benjamin Hudson, 113 Central Ave. Edith Vincent, incumbent on the Woodbridge School Board, did not file for reelection. Running for her five-year seat are two Bridgeville-area residents, Alice Matsinger, 36 Whistling Duck Drive, and Willie Savage, 21013 Coverdale Road. In Delmar, Charles Smith, who is completing a five-year term, is opposed in his bid for another term by Jason Robert Coco, 36806 Red Berry Road. Four men are running for a three-year seat on the Delmar board: incumbent Wayne Moore, 501 Lincoln Ave., Gregory Cathell, 12228 Coachman Lane, Jeffrey Fleetwood, 36658 Robinhood Road, and Phillip Thompson, 38324 Brittingham Road. Fleetwood is the brother of Andy Fleetwood, who resigned from the board in February. Moore was appointed Feb. 20 by the board to fill out Andy Fleetwood’s term. Elections in all of the districts will be Tuesday, May 12.

focus on its Business Person of the Year award. “This is a great start to the town’s recognizing our citizens of the year,” Fasano added. McMasters, 69, grew up in Sharptown and graduated from the James H. Groves High School in 1960. She worked in the office of the Acme grocery store in Laurel and then went to work for Covey Foods, Seaford, from which she retired in 1986. She and her husband, Paul, who was a store supervisor for Acme Markets, have four children, Penny Miller, Federalsburg, Md., Mike McMasters, CamdenWyoming, Sandra Smetana, Felton, and Wayne, Seattle, and 14 grandchildren. One of those grandchildren volunteers at the Good Samaritan shop with her grandmother. Joy Miller, 18, is a student at Chesapeake College in Wye, Md., and puts in four to six hours a week in the store. “I want to be just like my grandmother

when I grow up,” said Joy. “She has so much energy; she can run circles around me. Whatever she decides to do, she’ll follow through and do it.” Joy said that she grew up with the knowledge that her grandmother was a volunteer. “She made volunteering seem like it was something that everyone does,” she said. “When I got older, I realized that not everyone does it.” McMasters learned that she was Citizen of the Year during Sunday’s service at Centenary UMC. When Wright announced her name, McMasters said, she was stunned. “I don’t know what I said,” she said. “I think it was something like, ‘You’ve got to be kidding.’” McMasters said that she is honored to be recognized by the city. But that honor, Friday night’s awards dinner and even the fact that her name will be inscribed on the Citizen of the Year plaque that hangs in town hall won’t mean that she is finished with volunteering. “I plan to do this as long as I can,” she said.

HigH ScHool MuSical - Laurel High’s performance of “High School Musical” was deemed a tremendous success by Laurel Drama Director Brian Cass. Cass said that around 1,200 people attended the four performances of the play held on Feb. 27, Feb. 28, March 1, March 6 and March 8.

All state approvals must be obtained from that controlling state agency, (state office of planning - plus process, DelDOT, DNREC, soil conservation, etc) which the town has no control or authority over. There is also a stipulation that the annexation of parcels making up the Village Brooke North project must be upheld as the result of a lawsuit that is pending in the Delaware Chancery Court. The lawsuit, filed by Rick and Lisa Culver and John and Sylvia Brohawn, founders of the “Sussex County Organization to Limit Development Mistakes (SCOLDM), charges that the town of Laurel acted out of sync with its own annexation process, therefore voiding the possibility of approving an annexation of the US 13 East property.

land owner himself, requested the annexation of the property. Since that time, the Discovery project has been vacated and a new developer has purchased the property. When the Discovery project was unable to move forward with its plans for the property, land owner Glenn Jones sold the property to Michael Pouls of Samanda Properties LLC, Gladwyn, Pa., and it is now planned for the Village Brooke North development. Village Brooke North is a mix of retail shopping and condos, small villas and other single-family type housing, is proposed for about 350-acres of land fronting US 13 just north of Camp Road. The development is part of a three-phase project that also includes Village Brooke East and Village Brooke West. Samanda Properties has earmarked property around the former Sussex West Drive-In Theater, behind the Utz Potato Chip warehouse operation for Village Brooke North. The parcel is fronted by US 13 and borders Discount Land Road to the south and Dillards Road to the west. Plans call for an almost 500,000 squarefoot retail shopping center which will front US 13. The developer describes the retail

component of the project as containing “big box” stores, intimate shops, boutiques and restaurants all located along a Main Street area. The project’s residential plans call for as many as 2,100 residential units. Among the residential units are 1,040 4,000 and

Exhibit focuses on Delaware’s role in Revolutionary War By Lynn R. Parks

To Delawareans of the 21st century, the American Revolutionary War can seem very distant, said Norma Jean Fowler, adult services librarian at the Laurel Public Library. We know of this battle or that skirmish, but we don’t think of the war in terms of how it affected the lives of people living in what would become the First State, she added. A display at the library aims to change that. On loan from the Delaware Public Archives, the exhibit focuses not just on the role the Delaware Regiment played in the war’s battles but on who served in the regiment and in the Delaware Militia and on how the people they left at home fared. “It really makes the Revolution seem a lot closer to home,” said Fowler. The exhibit consists of a number of large panels that features pictures of original documents that are in the archives’ collection. The documents on the first

panel, “In the Beginning,” set over a copy of the painting “The Fight on Lexington Commons” by Delaware artist Howard Pyle, include the Delaware Declaration of Rights, signed in 1776 to clarify the rights of the state’s citizens. Subsequent panels feature instructions for recruits into the Delaware regiment, the Soldier’s Oath and a muster roll. There is also a copy of the Oath of Allegiance, signed by patriots to renounce their British citizenship. “We wanted to focus on the Delaware Regiment, which fought in battles from New York south to the Carolinas,” said Tom Summers, outreach services manager for the Delaware Public Archives. “They had a great reputation as a unit and even though they took a lot of casualties, they were very dependable.” The exhibit also focuses on the home front, Summers said, and on the sacrifices that citizens were required to make during the war. “A lot of people don’t realize that

Delaware played such a large part in the war,” he said. “It helps people to understand something when they know what their forefathers did.” Really bringing the war home, Fowler said, is a letter signed by three women whose husbands were serving in North Carolina with the Delaware Regiment. Unable to provide for themselves, they are asking the legislature for support. On the same panel as that letter is a second letter, also asking for support and signed by a woman whose husband had been killed in battle. “These types of documents really make the war real,” Fowler said. On a recent afternoon, Leigh Clark, Laurel, visited the exhibit, located on the second floor of the library. “It really is fascinating,” she said. “It is very interesting to read.” Fowler said that the library is the first place in Delaware, other than the archives building in Dover, to host the exhibit, which will remain in the library through

the summer. In addition, it is the first library to partner with the archives to host an exhibit. Other archives exhibits have been hosted by area historical societies, she said, which tend not to be open as much as libraries and which often charge admission. “This you can visit whenever the library is open, and free of charge,” she said. “This is part of the archives reaching out to the community, making its resources available to the public without them having to go to Dover.” For your information: A reception for the Delaware Public Archives exhibit on Delaware during the Revolutionary War will be Thursday, March 19, 4 to 7 p.m. at the Laurel Public Library. Tom Summers and Jessica Carmichael from the Delaware Public Archives will be there and starting at 4:30 p.m. will talk about how they put together the exhibit. Refreshments will be served. For details, call 875-3184.

Wednesday, April 1, 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the library. The group is intended as “a place where people can find other people who have found what you are looking for,” Fowler told the 27 people who attended the September meeting. At that meeting, people talked about their research into many long-standing Sussex County families, including the Elliotts, Hastings, Gordys, Cannons, Ellises, Cordreys, Webbs, Derricksons and Maulls. During the morning session of the April

meeting, participants will talk about the families they are interested in researching. If there are enough people there, Fowler said, she will arrange mini-discussion groups, organized by Sussex County hundreds that the people are interested in researching. During the afternoon, participants will be free to use the library’s genealogical resources for research. In addition to Sussex County, the library has historical records for Somerset, Worcester and

Dorchester counties in Maryland and Kent County in Delaware. Members of the library staff will be available to help out. In addition, Doug Breen, who is in the middle of a project to document all the cemeteries in the Laurel area, will be on hand with the information that he and Chuck Swift, who is helping him, have gathered. Participation in Sussex County Cousins is free. For additional information, call the library, 875-3184.

Sussex County Cousins research group to meet this spring By Lynn R. Parks

Sussex County Cousins, a genealogical research group that held its inaugural meeting in September, will meet again this spring.

Stewart successful in amending workers comp rates in Delaware Delaware Insurance Commissioner Karen Weldin Stewart announces that the Delaware Compensation Rating Bureau, Inc. (DCRB) has filed and she has approved a partially amended rate filing imposing workers compensation rate reductions ordered by former Commissioner Matt Denn. This filing provides for a retroactive cut of 9.74% (in the residual market) and 11.13% (in the voluntary market) effective Dec. 1, 2008. Commissioner Stewart said, “We are pleased that Delaware’s employers will begin to see tens of millions of dollars in savings of workers’ compensation premiums while Delaware’s policyholders can enjoy relief relative to medical fee schedules for worker’s compensation injuries AUTHENTIC MEXICAN

during these challenging economic times.” Commissioner Stewart continues to aggressively litigate additional orders from former Commissioner Denn, which the DCRB has objected and appealed in the Court of Chancery and the Superior Court. Commissioner Denn determined that Delaware employers were being overcharged for workers’ compensation coverage because the rates currently in effect failed to properly account for certain cost containment measures required by Senate Bill 1 of the 144th Delaware General Assembly. The DCRB continues to appeal the rating discounts – additional rate reductions totaling 6% of 2008 premium value in the current year and each of the succeeding two years and then 5% in year four.

Reaffirming that capital market returns tend to move in cycles, Wilmington Trust’s investment experts have released a new 10-year capital markets forecast which focuses on the continued importance of risk management and projects the likely performance of and risks associated with various asset classes and strategies through 2018. “We warned that future investment returns were likely to be much lower than those recorded in the recent past,” said Adrian Cronje, Ph.D., CFA, chief investment strategist and co-author of Wilmington Trust’s 2009 Capital Markets Forecast for Strategic Planning. “We are even more confident now that today’s financial markets offer outstanding opportunities for patient, long-term investors.” “Across risky asset classes and our asset allocation strategies, we project higher ranges of 10-year returns for any given level of expected volatility than we did one year ago,” Mr. Cronje said. “In the wake of savage re-pricing of risky assets last year, we believe that there is now a high probability that publicly traded equities will record double-digit annualized returns, and globally diversified portfolios of real assets will record at least high sin-

gle-digit annualized returns between 2009 and 2018.” However, investors should not completely disregard the effects of future inflation on such returns. Recent pricing in the bond market suggests inflation will lie dormant in the coming decade, according to Mr. Cronje, but such a view overextrapolates the low level of inflation U.S. consumers are likely to encounter in 2009. Despite disappointing hedge fund losses in 2008, hedge funds and illiquid alternative assets should continue to enhance the long-term, risk-adjusted portfolio returns of clients whose liquidity needs have been addressed, Mr. Cronje said. The forecast also calls for increased strategic targets for small-cap stocks in developed international markets and increased, in most cases, strategic targets for the emerging markets. Mr. Cronje holds a Ph.D. in Macroeconomics and Econometrics and a master’s degree in Economics and Finance from the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom. Mr. Cronje holds the CFA Institute’s Chartered Financial Analyst® designation and serves on the Wilmington Trust Investment Management group’s Investment Strategy Team.

Nanticoke Hospital providing PET scan testing High-quality diagnostic test can accurately tell the location and size of tumors By Lynn R. Parks

As of Feb. 27, cancer patients in western Sussex County can get a sophisticated test to determine how their treatment is progressing. The positron emission tomography (PET) scan is a high-quality diagnostic test that can accurately tell where tumors are and what size those tumors are, said Renee Morris, spokeswoman for Nanticoke Memorial Hospital, Seaford. “This is part of our long-range plan to have the best cancer-care program we can,” Morris said. That plan includes a new partnership with the Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury, Md., to provide oncology services in Seaford. “Before, our patients would have to go outside the area to get this kind of test,” Morris added. “These are people who are undergoing treatment. They don’t feel well already and don’t want to travel. We want them to be able to get what they need right here.” The PET scanner is located in a trailer that arrives at Nanticoke’s Mears Campus every Friday, pulled by truck. The trailer is parked on a new concrete pad just outside the Mears building. The portable scanner can accommodate about 15 patients a day. The machine is owned by Radiology

Corporation of America, which also employs the two nuclear medical technologists who man it. Recently, technologists Chris McCormick and Mark Border explained how the PET scan works. Patients are injected with a radioactive isotope, an injection that is done with a very small pediatric needle and that takes just a few seconds, Border said. The patient is then required to sit very still for about an hour. The trailer is equipped with reclining chairs and patients can listen to light classical music. The test includes a CT scan, or sophisticated x-ray, and then the PET scan, which detects where the injected isotopes have gathered. “Hot spots,” areas where there are concentrations of isotopes, are an indication of cancer. The average test takes a total of one and a half to two hours. Within 20 minutes of the completion of the test, a patient’s doctor can have the results. “Before, we were at the mercy of whatever hospital was doing the test, and it sometimes took a while to get results,” said Nanticoke director of radiology Missy Babinski. “Now we are able to get results faster.” Babinski added that the fact that the PET scan can be overlaid with the CT scan means that if a patient needs radiation, the

doctor can better pinpoint where the radiation should be directed. “Fusion of the two tests locates the tumor better and means a better outcome,” she said. Nanticoke has a two-year agreement with Radiology Corporation of America, with the option to extend the agreement,

Babinski said. One advantage of bringing the PET scanner in from outside is that the owner of the machine has to bear the cost of keeping it up to date, she said. The current scanner is about a year old and, said McCormick, will probably be obsolete in another couple of years.

Gas Lines Prices jump across the nation

After two weeks of declining gas prices, the average price for regular grade gasoline increased 6 cents since last Friday to $1.94 a gallon this past Friday, AAA reports. Gas prices have been below $2 for 15 consecutive weeks, the first time since November 2004 to March 2005 that prices have been this low. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) released figures that suggest gasoline demand for February averaged 9.204 million barrels per day, a figure 2.2% above the same period last year. For all the ups and down at the pump over the last few weeks, the average price is about $1.25 less than this time last year. This past week, major automobile manufacturers in the U.S. announced a significant slump in February sales – with the big three automakers down 48 percent from last year - the lowest since 1981. Crude oil traded above $40 last week to close the week at $45.52, compared to $105 per barrel a year ago, this after

the Labor Department released the February U.S. unemployment figures Friday showing the economy shed 651,000 jobs putting the nation’s unemployment rate at 8.1%, its highest level since December 1983. Analysts believe the deepening financial crisis and the slowing job market will lead to decreased energy demand.

It’s a very worthy event, but there is another reason I tell you about this. I was told by one of the sponsors that Laurel has not had a good turnout for any of the three walks, lagging far behind Seaford and Bridgeville. We in Laurel do not want this, do we? Let’s walk for this worthwhile cause. The Laurel 4th of July meeting, that was cancelled due to the snow storm, has

been rescheduled for Monday, March 16, at 5:30 p.m. at the Chamber office on Market Street. This is a reminder to those of you who would like to participate. The memorial service for Dale Hill at Christ United Methodist Church in Laurel, on Saturday, was a great reminder for all of us of what a great people-person Dale Hill was. Dale’s classmate, Pastor Tommy Starnes, led the service and I know Dale was proud of him. After the service, as Dale would have had it, there were memories and laughs shared in the church hall. Tommy even shared a few stories of his growing up in Bethel and the many Laurel school kids who lived there. Tommy said there was one drop off point at the Bethel Store for all students. He said to this day he thinks Harvey Lee Cordrey stuffed the potato in the tail pipe of the bus, and I’ve learned a lot about Harvey from Tommy that maybe I can share on another occasion. I do know there were a lot of families, in the 1940s and 1950s who raised large families in Bethel. A great place to be then and still is now. I’m going out quietly this week, 15 going on our annual baseball trip. That’s good. See you soon!

Lady Bulldogs edged by Padua in state tournament home game Six seniors end high school basketball careers on home floor By Mike McClure The Laurel varsity girls’ basketball team’s season came to a close last Thursday in Laurel. While the Bulldogs’ 45-39 loss to Padua in the first round of the state tournament ended their season, the team accomplished most, if not all of its goals. “Looking at the whole year I can’t be disappointed,” Laurel girls’ basketball coach Kevin Walmsley said. “The girls gave everything they had. It’s like a celebration tonight just having a home game (in the state tournament).” Laurel hosted the first round game for the first time in a long time, but was without starter Brooke Evans who was injured in the regular season finale against Indian River. Two other players were out of town last week, leaving the Bulldogs with just two subs. Laurel held an 11-9 lead through the first quarter of play as Tomorrow Briddell netted five points. The Pandas held a 13-7 advantage in the second quarter for a 22-18 lead at the half. Tomorrow Briddell led the Bulldogs with eight first half points and Twila McCrea added six. Tykia Briddell and Diane Paul each netted four points in the third quarter as each team put 10 points on the board. Paul scored on a feed from Tomorrow Briddell to cut Padua’s lead to 29-28 with around a minute left in the quarter, but the Pandas took a 32-28 advantage into the final quarter. Padua’s Krista Panella opened the fourth quarter with a basket to put her

team up by six. Sharay Smith made one of two free throws and McCrea hit a jumper and made a pair of free throws to pull Laurel within one at 34-33. Later in the quarter, Kaitlyn Shields converted a three-point play to give the Pandas a seven point lead, but Laurel kept battling back. Smith scored on a feed from Paul and Tomorrow Briddell found McCrea to make the score 40-37. Smith scored off a pass from Tomorrow Briddell to make it a two point game (41-39), but Briddell picked up her fourth foul, a touch foul, with 55 seconds left in the game. Padua’s Kelly Johnson made a pair of free throws and Briddell later picked up her fifth and final foul on an illegal pick call. Katie Jezyk made two more free throws to seal the Pandas’ 4539 win. “These girls battled tonight,” Walmsley said, noting that his team met its goals of winning the Henlopen South title, earning a berth in the state tournament, and hosting a first round game. “Our bench was limited.” McCrea paced the Bulldogs with 14 points, Tomorrow Briddell had eight, Smith scored seven points, and Tykia Briddell added six. Saluting the seniors- The Lady Bulldogs’ team was led by six seniors who played their final game in front of the home crowd on Thursday. Walmsley called Tykia Briddell the “heart and soul” of the team. “She’s our leader on defense,” Walmsley added. Continued on page 27

T 1st Time ALERHome Buyers The New Stimulus Plan

The federal government has set aside $787 Billion dollars to help revive our economy. What does that mean to you? It means if you have EVER thought of buying that first home, NOW is the time. Here is just a tidbit of what this means: First time homebuyers who purchase homes from now until the end of the month November 2009 may be eligible for an $8,000 home tax credit. It is important to remember that the $8,000 tax credit is just that---a tax credit. The benefit of a tax credit is that it’s a dollar for dollar tax reduction, rather than a reduction in your tax liability that would save you much less when all was said and done. So, if you were to owe $8,000 in income taxes at the end of the year, you would qualify for the credit and owe nothing. Better yet—the tax credit is REFUNDABLE. This means you can receive an actual check back in your hand for the credit. For example, if your tax liability is $4,000 you can offset with the tax credit and still receive a check in your hand for $4,000. Now, of course there are some rules, like income limits and you must live in the house, etc. Just call me today to discuss this amazing opportunity.

Walmsley said Sharay Smith progressed the most from her sophomore year to her senior year, improving in each area in the post. He credited senior Twila McCrea for playing three different positions throughout the year. “She can remember each position like its nothing,” Walmsley said of the straight A student. “Diane stepped up late in the year when Brooke went down,” said Walmsley

(of senior Diane Paul, who he called the team’s best passer). Walmsley also praised first year senior Kirsti Knight, who contributed a lot to the team in practice, and Morgan Johnson. “I’m proud of her (Johnson), she finished out her senior year,” Walmsley added. “They’re (seniors) going to be missed.” One of the bright spots for the Laurel girls’ basketball program is that first team All-Henlopen South players Tomorrow Briddell and Brooke Evans are juniors and will be back next season.

Delaware International Speedway sets schedule for ‘09 season

If the announcement of the World of Outlaw Sprint Cars on Tuesday, May 12 and the World of Outlaw Late Models on Thursday May 28 didn’t have Delmarva race fans excited enough, the recent announcement of the rest of the 2009 schedule at the Delaware International Speedway will have them buzzing. Along with the return of the five weekly racing divisions: the NAPA Big Block Modifieds, the Super Late Models, the AC Delco TSS Modifieds, the Crate Models and the Mod Lites, a mixture of new and exciting formats will be added to Saturday nights: Mix & Match; Wings and Things; Topless Night and Run What You Brung. The Saturday night Mix and Match programs on May 2 and August 8 will put the NAPA Big Blocks head to head with the Super Late Models in a 30 lap feature with extra cash on the line. The divisions will run separate heats with 10 cars coming from each division. Consolations will add the next four qualifiers and the final two cars will be the top point drivers that did not qualify from each division making a 26 car field. The “Run What You Brung” format will crank up the high speed action another notch with “Run What You Brung” for the NAPA Big Block Modifieds on May 23 and “Run What You Brung” for Super Late Models on August 29. Then it will be a “Wings and Things” spectacular on July 4 for all five weekly divisions. On each these nights the weight limit will be significantly lowered and all restrictions on wings, side panels, sail panels and spoilers will be lifted. The track record for each of these divisions will definitely be in jeopardy when the wings and things are added to the cars. For the first time ever, Delaware International Speedway will go “Topless” on July 18. In what may be a first in the country, all five divisions will run minus their roofs allowing spectators a full view of the drivers as they work the steering wheel and dice for position. There will be seven United Racing Club Sprint Car outings beginning on April 18, and spread throughout the season. The Slide for 5, Little Lincoln Late Models and the Vintage Stock Cars will also make appearances throughout the year. Action kicks off on Saturday night, April 4 with a Tune and Test night for all divisions with free admission on the spectator side. Gates open at 5 p.m. with the Tune and Test from 6-9 p.m. The regular season takes the green on Saturday night, April 18 with gates opening at 5 p.m. and hot laps at 7 p.m. For more information call the speedway office at 302-875-1911 or on the web at www.delawareracing.com.

The trooper was transported from the scene to Christiana Hospital where he was treated for a back injury. Howell, who was not injured, was cited for inattentive driving. See LEGALS—page 41

Then the big bad wolf huffed and puffed until he blew Steele down with, “Steele is not head of the Republican Party, he is the head of the RNC.” That’s when Steele became the umpteenth Republican to say they were sorry for speaking against the hefty broadcaster. Which prompted the National Democrat Committee, (DNC) to post a website, www.dccc.org with an “I’m Sorry Rush” form letter called the Republican apology machine where you can fill in the blanks with apologizes of your own. I think they have both left the Republican Party and joined the new “Party of NO,” those against anything the new president proposes. Bill Clinton faced similar opposition, including from Delaware’s Mike Castle when his first budget did not receive a vote from the Republicans who predicted Clinton’s plan would lead to economic disaster, another recession, even economic catastrophe. As we well know now, if we didn’t before, Clinton’s economic plan erased Bush’s senior’s huge budget deficit, and the largest economic boom in jobs, growth income and record millionaires made in the stock market from small investors. All President Obama is asking is to return the tax level, increase taxes on those

Perhaps Dad’s socks would not have been so bad, except dad wore nylon socks. Try wearing a pair of nylon socks over your hands while playing in the snow. It is definitely one level below the comfort of cotton socks. There was no place for your fingers, so you were making and throwing snowballs like a seal. Our feet were no better off. When we were in elementary school we had “goulashes.” These were pieces of plastic shaped like a foot. They had these snaptype buckles that clipped down the front of the boot. They were about as insulated as a screen door. But, they also were a step above the alternative, which were our street shoes. So, many was the time I could be found outside playing in the snow wearing tennis shoes with a pair of socks on my hands. As resilient as we were, af-

making $250,000 or more, to what it was during the Clinton administration. Were I making that kind of money and thinking I can make more under a better economy, save more, have a job and a home, I think I’d gamble on spending a few thousand dollars or more depending on my income level rather than worry about not having a job or a home. I can’t see where the Republican Party in Washington has any credibility on economic issues when the reason this president is in office by an overwhelming, not by the skin of his teeth victory, is because those policies of giving tax breaks to the rich failed. The large budget surplus inherited by junior Bush was gone in six months, and quickly turned into massive deficits, two wars, economic downturn, and to the path of another depression. When the Republicans talk about cutting taxes for small business, their definition of small business is one making millions a year, not thousands of dollars. The Republican gamble is if Obama’s plan fails, they can say, “I told you so!” in the upcoming elections in two years. But if the economy begins to recover, which I believe it will, I’d hate to be any Republican who voted against those programs seeking reelection. So, what’s it going to be Mr. Castle and your Republican coharts, people first, or your party first?

ter an hour or so of wet and freezing cold hands and feet, there was no choice but to head for the house. Having me at the door with wet socks and shoes worked out about two times. I would go in the house, thaw out and then want to head back outside. The second time I came to the door, Mom would greet me with that familiar phrase, “Inside or out, make up your mind.” The third time I came to the door I found it locked and my mother looking out the window drinking a cup of coffee. I could barely read her lips. “I told you, inside or out.” She meant what she said. Of course that also made it clear that if I could beg and cry ice cubes, to gain my way back into the warmth of the house, there would be no coming back outside that day. Oh, the hardships of youth!

Health Wine with dinner - healthy or harmful? By Anthony Policastro, M.D There is an old proverb about wine, women and song. The news recently had been about wine and women. It has not mentioned song. However, it probably won’t be long until it does. A recent study suggests that limited alcohol intake in women can increase the risk for breast cancer. Other studies have shown that limited alcohol intake in women decreases their risk of heart disease. The question then arises as to whether it is a good thing or a bad thing to have a glass of wine with dinner if you are a woman. The answer is yes if you have a family history of heart disease. The answer is

no if you have a family history of breast cancer. We need to remember that things like cancer and heart disease have many factors involved. Some of those factors are genetic. Others are environmental. You need both to develop the condition. The best example of this is diabetes. We know that diabetes runs in families. We also know that diabetes is associated with being overweight. If you have a family history of diabetes and you are overweight, then you are asking for trouble. Effects of cigarettes are similar. We all know people who have smoked for many years with no ill effects. They likely do not have genetics that make them prone to

things like lung cancer and emphysema. However, there are also stories of people who have stopped smoking for a number of years and still get lung cancer. They likely have genetics that make them very prone to lung cancer. They needed to not start smoking in the first place. We know that alcohol addiction runs in families. The genetics are strong for it. That is why individuals with that kind of history need to be careful about their drinking habits. The list goes on and on. What is important for each of us to remember is that there are certain conditions that run in our family. That will tell us which things we are liable to get. The next

breathe by incorporating these techniques with exercise. Education is given so individuals can master these techniques in their own lifestyle. Pulmonary Rehabilitation is an individualized program designed to help those suffering from lung disease. Specific criteria are set to qualify patients to participate. One criterion is that a pulmonary function test (PFT) must be completed six months prior to beginning the program. Specific values from the test must be 60% or lower to qualify for Medicare reimbursement for Pulmonary Rehabilitation. If you have shortness of breath and are interested in this program, ask your physician for a PFT. March 15-21 is National Pulmonary Rehabilitation Week. The theme is “Building Better Lives One Breath at a Time.” Nanticoke Memorial Hospital will have a table displaying pulmonary information to include brochures and other informational materials. Visitors are encouraged to participate by visiting the display. Nanticoke is the first and only hospital in Delaware to have received pulmonary rehabilitation certification from the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR). If you feel you or a loved one may benefit from such a program and want to ensure breathing for the future, talk to your physician or call, 629-6611, ext. 3815.

LifeCare at Lofland Park will host a buffet dinner at the Georgia House Restaurant in Laurel on Monday, March 30 from 5 to 7 p.m. Dinner includes an all-you-can-eat buffet consisting of Mississippi Cajun catfish, Yankee pot roast, buttermilk fried chicken, pasta marinara, salad, rolls, various sides, assorted desserts and non-alcoholic beverage. Carry-

step is to find out what the triggers for those conditions are. It might be obesity for diabetes. It might be cigarettes for lung cancer. It might be alcohol for alcohol addiction. Whatever the trigger is, we need to try to avoid it. Thus if you are a woman with a strong family history of heart disease and no history of breast cancer, plan to have a glass of wine with dinner. If you are a woman with a strong family history of breast cancer, avoid that glass of wine with dinner. If you are one of the ones who can’t have that glass of wine, perhaps you can take up song. Two out of three may not be bad.

Do you know how to breathe? Buffet benefits LifeCare Are you thinking, “Now that’s a silly question? Sure I know how to breathe. What is not to know?” You do it every day, 24/7, 365 days a year. Yes, we all breathe, but for those suffering with a lung disease, every breath can be a struggle. In Pulmonary Rehabilitation we teach those with lung disease how to breathe. There are two techniques: Pursed Lip Breathing (PLB) and Diaphragmatic (Belly) Breathing (DB). PLB is breathing in through the nose for a count of two and breathing out through the mouth through puckered up lips for a count of four. The breath in is a normal breath and not a deep breath. The goal is not to master the count of two and four, but to breathe out twice as long as breathing in. This technique is used with activities of daily living. DB is more difficult to master. When breathing in, push the belly out to allow air to flow into the lungs. When breathing out, pull the belly in to help push the air out of the lungs. This can be done with PLB for most benefit. Keep in mind that when practicing any type of breathing technique, dizziness may occur because of not breathing correctly.

A trip to Arlington can remind Doing the Towns Together us what our nation is all about LAUREL AND DELMAR SOCIALS

One of the most moving memorials to our nation’s war dead was opened to the public in 1932, yet it has never been named officially. Known as the Tomb of the Unknowns, the tomb at Arlington (Va.) National Ceme tery was completed and opened to the pub lic on April 9, 1932, without a ceremony. The remains of unknown soldiers from both World War I and World War II and the Korean War rest beneath the white mar ble monument. The Vietnam tomb is empty because the unknown soldier’s remains from that war were later exhumed and iden tified. That tomb remains vacant and a new plaque added to honor the nation’s missing service members from 1958 to 1975. Now there is a controversy over replac ing the cracked and weathered marble monument. A section of a 48foot crack is visible and the source of the replacement controversy. In 1921, the Congress authorized the tomb as a memorial to honor the unknown dead of World War I, a war that had ended three years before that date. Armistice Day, later to become Veterans Day, was the day that the first unknown was buried in the un derground vault. The tomb is always guarded and is a “potent symbol of sacrifice and patriotism.” Of all the national memorials, the Tomb of the Unknown in Arlington is the most emotionally moving to the average person. To be a part of the gathered crowds that view the changing of the guard at Arling ton, is a setting that is difficult to explain. The site of the tomb fills with people from all walks of life as the time approach es for the guard change. Laughter, loud talking, little children jumping about, and general noise of a gath ering crowd fills the air. Suddenly, an unbe lievable hush comes over the crowd as the brisk clip sound of the oncoming guards’ heels striking the cement as they approach the duty area. Instantly, without a command or a single word, the crowd becomes hushed and still, and the guard changes. The only sound is that clipclipclip of the shoes of the guard as they complete their paces back and forth, and the slip of their rifle as the guard in charge makes an inspection. When the guard change is completed, the outgoing guard leaves the area, and the gathered crowd disperses without a sound. A few hushed voices make comments, but they are a definite minority.

Moments With Mike Virginia ‘Mike’ Barton Every person attending the changing of the guard realizes that this is a hallowed place in our nation, and each one is lost in their individual thoughts of those men and women they know or have known who fought and served our nation, protecting our freedom. Richard Moe, president of the national Trust for Historic Preservation, said, “The Tomb of the Unknowns is the most impor tant war memorial in America, bar none. It is iconic in the regard in which it’s held by all Americans, but especially veterans and families of those who have died in our country’s wars.” The Sarcophagusshaped monument is a solid block of marble, weighing 36 tons and topped with a 12ton cap and resting on a 16ton base. Four other pieces of marble are used in the subbase. There was a time when students in el ementary school here in Laurel made a bus trip to Washington, D.C. each spring. The oneday trip was an ambitious one, with teachers and parents acting as chaperones. Stops included a visit to the White House, the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, a few hours in the Smithsonian and later the Air Space Museum was added to the tour. The final trip stop was always the Tomb of the Unknowns. If memory serves me correctly, the trip was usually made by fifthgraders. Those class trips included every single student in the class. For some, it was the only time they would ever have an opportu nity to visit a national landmark. Nowadays, with air travel so conve nient and readily available, a trip abroad or across the country is preferred by many vacationers. Yet, some of these same sea soned travelers have never been to Wash ington, D.C., our nation’s capitol. A visit to Washington, D.C., and espe cially to Arlington and the Tomb of the Un knowns, is one that every American should consider. It is, after all, what our nation is all about.

Elliott Wheatley has just recently re turned from a trip to Germany and Swit zerland visiting a former Exchange student and his family. The white slopes were call ing and when I asked him about skiing he said “no” as snowboarding is his thing. I hear a lot more about that sport these days it seems quite popular now. On Saturday, Feb. 28 a birthday party was held in honor of Cameron Blake Hart stein’s first year. The celebration was held at the home of his grandparents, John and Donna Ward with many relatives, friends and wee ones attending. Little Cameron received many, many gifts and much help from his young friends in opening them, while he became more interested with boxes, tissue paper and bal loons. Meantime his parents, Steven and Kristine enjoyed the contents therein — toys and clothes to last a long time. The ladies of the Laurel Garden Club met at St. Philip’s Parish Hall on Sunday last. The featured topic of the day was “Grow Orchid Plants Successfully” with guest presenter, Tony Pizonne. Hostesses for the day were Jan Harrington, Joan Hook and Phyllis Johnson. I couldn’t quite get the date from him, but Chuck Swift, sometime in the past two weeks observed a birthday (againno numbers) and his sister from Riverdale, Md., arrived at Lewis Drive to help him celebrate. On March 5, Lillie Brittingham ob served her 90th birthday and she was host ed to a small family dinner on Saturday evening to celebrate and put one more in her memory book! I was saddened to learn of the death of former Laurelite, Dale Hill. I first met Dale when I was in high school and worked (volunteered) at the library, then in the community house (now an apartment house), on Central Avenue. Every Saturday Mary Hill came in with her little boy and they left with many books. Her choice, the light love stories, and for him she choose many of the appro priate children’s books.

Opinion A sea of red?

The following was submitted by Joe and Maribel Santos of Seaford. It has been fowarded on the Internet t countless people across the nation. If the red shirt thing is new to you, read below... Last week, while traveling to Chicago on business, I noticed a Marine sergeant traveling with a folded flag. I turned to the sergeant, who’d been invited to sit in First Class (across from me), and inquired if he was heading home. “No,” he responded. “Heading out,” I asked? “No. I’m escorting a soldier home.” “Going to pick him up?” “No. He is with me right now. He was killed in Iraq, I’m taking him home to his family.” The realization of what he had been asked to do hit me like a punch to the gut. It was an honor for him. He told me that, although he didn’t know the soldier, he had delivered the news of his passing to his family and felt as if he knew them after many conversations in so few days. I turned back to him, extended my hand, and said, “Thank you. Thank you for doing what you do so my family and I can do what we do.” Upon landing in Chicago the pilot stopped short of the gate and announced over the intercom: “I would like to note that we have had the honor of having Sergeant Steeley of the U.S. Marine Corps on this flight. He is escorting a fallen comrade back home to his family. I ask that you please remain in your seats when we open the forward door to allow Sergeant Steeley to deplane and receive his fellow soldier.” Without a sound, all went as requested. I noticed the sergeant saluting the casket as it was brought off the plane, and his action made me realize that I am proud to be an American. So here’s a public thank you to our military men and women for what you do so we can live the way we do: Red Fridays. Americans who support our troops used to be called the “silent majority.” We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers. We are not organized, boisterous or overbearing. Many Americans want to recognize that the vast majority of Americans supports our troops. Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops by wearing red continues every Friday. Let’s make the United States on every Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers. If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, coworkers, friends, and family, it will not be long before the USA is covered in red and it will let our troops know the once “silent” majority is on their side more than ever. The first thing a soldier says when asked “What can we do to make things better for you?” is: “We need your support and your prayers.” Let’s get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example, and wear something red every Friday.

Choosing a better neighbor

In the March 5th issue of the Star, I read with interest, Grace Peterson’s and the City Council’s recommendation that Mall Tire “clean up” their site. Ms. Peterson stated that she would not want to have this establishment as a neighbor. I would recommend that Grace Peterson travel a little farther south on Rt. 13 to view some real eyesores that the city has to offer. At Pizza Hut, litter which is continually present eventually accumulates on neighboring properties, one of which will be the future Villages of Stoneybrook development. Additionally, the Pizza Hut-Taco Bell entrance off Beaver Dam Drive is a favorite site of potholes and broken pavement that seem to have taken up permanent residence. Next door, Quality Inn’s renovations have resulted in continuous piles of discarded wood, flooring materials, glass, tree trimmings, wind blown trash from all the fast food places, and numerous other disposables which have occupied parking spaces for more than a year. Continue just a little farther south and you will find Tom and Gerry’s Auto Repair surrounded by landscaping materials and firewood. Here the large piles of mulches, rocks, gravel, etc. fail to add to the beauty of the area. Anyone driving by these areas can judge for themselves. If I had to choose a neighbor, in an area zoned for commercial use, I would choose to have Mall’s Tire rather than, in striking comparison, the far less pristine areas where the other previously mentioned businesses operate.

Not all are happy with decision

Many tens of thousands of Delawareans who, like our President, care deeply about easing human suffering, contacted their legislators over the past two years to ask them not to allow the destruction of living human embryos for experiments. As a result, two human embryonic stem cell bills in Delaware were defeated. There are still no approved treatments for disease from embryonic

All successful treatments to date are from adult stem cells, which do not require the destruction of human beings. We are particularly troubled that Representative Castle disregarded the tens of thousands of his constituents who commented on this issue to appear with the President on this sad day. This is a triple tragedy— • The taking of human lives for experiments will continue—funded by our tax dollars. • Scarce recession-era tax dollars will go to an obsolete and unethical technology. • The newest and most promising breakthrough — induced pluripotent cells derived from the ordinary human cells that the President mentioned — are both ethical and hailed by all scientists. They will now have to compete for funding, further delaying cures. A Rose and a Prayer is dedicated to protecting human life from the moment of conception. Ellen Barrosse

Praise for the chief

I want to express my appreciation to retiring LVFD Chief Mark Sheridan for his six years of service to the Town of Laurel and the greater Laurel area. I want to take a few moments to recognize his positive impact on fire safety for the citizens of Laurel. In January of 2003 as the new

town manager of Laurel, I met with Chief Sheridan, the late LVFD resident Gerald Brown and other LVFD reps to discuss the poor working relationship with the town and various fire safety issues affecting Laurel’s residents. Two months prior to my arrival, the town had drained its antiquated water system due to a major waterline break. The LVFD, under Chief Sheridan’s leadership, supported efforts in comprehensive code and rental property maintenance enforcement by Laurel Code Enforcement Officer Paul Frick. The LVFD also supported the effort and investment to modernize and computerize our water distribution control system. Working with then Public Works director Danny McCumbers and later PW director Woody Vickers, Chief Sheridan made sure that adequate pressure would be available in the water distribution system in the event of a fire. Later again working with Mr. Vickers, Chief Sheridan also had fire hydrants retrofitted with new hardware to allow hydrants to be opened faster because every second counts in a fire. In the fall of 2004, when the Town’s antiquated wastewater plant was in danger of discharging 15-million gallons of partially treated wastewater into the Broad Creek, Chief Sheridan and the volunteers of the LFVD were there to help pump water out of the third largest treatment pond to lessen pressure on the pond’s manmade walls. When either help was needed or a strong showing of public support was necessary, Chief Sheridan was there. I also want to recognize and remember others that contributed to his strong partnership with the town: the late Gerald Brown (another loss to the community), Jeff Hill and current department president, Bill Hearne. As indicated in your coverage of the recent fire department awards and recognition banquet, I am pleased that the leadership of the town is maintaining this partnership. I also want to congratulate the new Fire Chief, Steve Brittingham. Glenn Steckman,

State Representative Danny Short commended for bi-partisanship State Representative R-Seaford Danny Short is to be congratulated for his refreshing introduction of Gov. Jack Markell before his remarks recently before the Seaford Chamber of Commerce. Referring to the Delaware deficit, Short, Minority Leader of the House, stated this was a concern for both political parties and he pledged to help solve the problem. Quite a contrast seeing bi-partisanship in Delaware, compared to the “NO” mindset of the Republicans in Washington. In response to Bruce Rogers praising Mike Castle for his no vote on the stimulus bill: the banks at the National Mall are eroding; that job would have created millions of cubic yards of sod; we have many sod farms in this area that would savor the opportunity to bid on that project. That sod project was cut out of the bill; could have provided many jobs. We do the job now or pay more to have it done later.

My eyes are very blurry — One completely shot. Even with my glasses I cannot see a lot. My ears have long been failing. They too are almost shot, For even with my hearing aids I know I miss a lot. These are signs of old age,

Our thermostats are set. We turn another page And we work with what we get. Even with these failings If you dig down underneath, You’ll find my spirit sailing, And I still have all my teeth.

This poem was written by John’s favorite cousin, Anne Duncan of Bellevue, Wash., who is 91 years old. I thought you might be interested in these two quotes for your back page Final Thoughts. Jane Watson Seaford

Read it before you vote

In an effort to correct the problem of Senators and Representatives not reading legislation, an organization known as DownsizeDC.org has been formed to enlist public support to pressure Congress to enact legislation that would require Members of Congress to read their own bills before they vote on them. This may seem a futile effort. However, such ignorance may prove an advantage at this stage. If Congress were to follow its regular policy of not reading the bills, hopefully this one would get through. From a column by E. Ralph Hostetter, a prominent businessman, publisher, award-winning columnist and vice chairman of the Free Congress Foundation.

A good quote for our future?

Regardless of the unprecedented mistakes of the recent past, regardless of your political beliefs or station in life, the quote below should be highly considered by all Americans as we move forward under an unprecedented era of government control and spending? “You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. “What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. “The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. “When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that, my dear friends, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.” Dr. Adrian Rogers , 1931 to 2005 Dr. Rogers consulted and prayed with five presidents of the United States. He conducted crusades in Taiwan, South Korea, Israel, Russia, Romania, and in Central and South America. Judson Bennett Lewes
