THOSE WERE THE DAYS - Members of the Laurel High School football team of 1957, which had an undefeated season, are among those who could show up for the Laurel Alumni Association’s Cow Drop and Remembrance Day, which will be held at the Laurel Middle School Saturday. Football players from the 1930s through last year’s season are expected to participate.

The 1957 team started a winning streak during which the Bulldogs outscored their opponents 222 to 12. There were 14 seniors on the team. Captains were Jim Yori, #51, Melvin Cordrey, #62, and Ben Sirman, #50. Photo courtesy of Ben Sirman. See story, page 18.

Poetry recitation champ is modern Renaissance man

By Donna Dukes-Huston “Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day?” It was this poem, Shakespeare’s Sonnet XVIII, which secured the victory for Daniel Foster at the Poetry Out Loud competition in Dover on March 13.

There is no comparing Daniel Foster, however; this Delmar High School senior is in a league all his own. With interests and talents in the arts as well as athletics, Daniel could be considered a modern day Renaissance man. His achievements are even more remarkable as he has had to overcome obstacles associated with Asperger’s Syndrome, which is a form of autism.

Asperger’s is a condition marked by impaired social interactions and limited repetitive patterns of behavior. Symptoms often include clumsiness, abnormal non-

verbal communication and failure to develop peer relationships. Despite these symptoms, many with Asperger’s have aboveaverage intelligence.

“When I was younger, I had no selfesteem,” Daniel said. “I told myself I was stupid. Kids would tease me in class when I didn’t get things.”

It wasn’t until Daniel was 11 years old that his mother revealed to him that he had Asperger’s Syndrome.

“I thought, ‘That’s why I’ve been doubting myself all this time,’” Daniel said.

At this point, Daniel discovered that he was good at math. He learned how to use the skills to help him get through other subjects.

He admits that when he first heard about the Poetry Out Loud contest in his English class, he wasn’t very interested. Then he remembered the sage counsel of his grandContinued on page 5

Ruins may tell story of what happened to woman’s father

By Lynn R. Parks Mildred Martin never knew what happened to her husband. She died in 1993 at the age of 80, knowing only that the submarine on which he was a chief motor machinist’s mate, first class, had disappeared in the Bering Sea, at the far east end of the Aleutian Islands, in 1942.

“She used to go to the fortune teller a lot,” said her daughter, Meryl Kretschmann, who lives in Laurel. “She would ask the fortune teller to read tea leaves. And we played with the Ouija Board a lot, her on one side and me on the other. She always asked where her husband was.”

When World War II was over, and those who had been held in German and Japanese prisoner of war camps were released, Martin waited for her husband’s return. “She kept hoping that he would come home,” Kretschmann said. “He never did.”

Now, perhaps, the mystery is solved.

Explorers hired by the sons of Lt. Cmdr.

Mannert L. Abele, who was in command of the vessel, have found a sunken submarine about 1 mile deep in the Bering Sea that they believe is the U.S.S. Grunion.

The Grunion’s crew of 70 included Carson Martin, Mildred’s husband and Kretschmann’s dad.

Explorers intend to return to the site this summer, to try to get close enough to the wreckage to verify its identification.

“They say that they are 95 percent sure that what they found is the Grunion,” Kretschmann said. “I am so excited, and so happy. The lesson here is, if you are looking for someone, never give up.”

Carson Martin was born in Baltimore in 1909 and joined the U.S. Navy in 1927, at the age of 18. He and Mildred were married in 1930 and Kretschmann was born in 1936 in Honolulu, when her father was stationed at Pearl Harbor.

By the time Kretschmann was 5, the family, including her brother, Ronald, who was born in 1932, was living in Groton, Conn. Martin was assigned to the Grunion and shipped out for Pearl Harbor, arriving

MARCH 29 - APRIL 4, 2007 PAGE 3 June 20, 1942, just seven months after the U.S. Naval base there was attacked by the Japanese.

The Grunion was ordered to go to the Bering Sea, where it was to patrol the waters between the Aleutian Islands and what was then the Japanese empire. On July 10, it was reassigned to the area north of Kiska, an island at the far eastern tip of the Aleutian chain that had been successfully invaded by the Japanese earlier that summer. According to a history of the Pacific Fleet compiled by the U.S. Navy, there were a number of enemy vessels near Kiska.

On July 15, the submarine reported that it had sunk three enemy destroyers. On July 28, during a bombardment of the island by the U.S. Navy, the Grunion again attacked enemy ships and came under fire herself, but sustained no damage.

On July 30, the Grunion reported heavy anti-submarine activity near Kiska. That report proved to be the vessel’s last transmission. “She was not contacted or sighted after July 30, despite every effort to do so, and on Aug. 16 was reported lost,” according to the Navy’s history.

Lost with the ship was a birthday present Martin had bought for his daughter. “My mother told me that he had a purse on board that he had bought me and never had a chance to give to me,” Kretschmann said.

In 2002, a citizen of Japan who was researching Japanese ships that were sunk during World War II posted information on his Web site about the Kano Maru, a Japanese destroyer that was torpedoed near Kiska on July 31. Yutaka Iwasaki indicated that the submarine that had done the torpedoing and that was subsequently shot and sunk by the Kano Maru was the Grunion.

“The Grunion intended to surface and sink [the Kano Maru] by gunfire,” according to the Navy’s history. “Kano Maru had two old 8-centimeter guns on the forecastle and stern.

The stern’s gun was malfunctioned by the torpedo shock, but the forecastle gun fired to the [submarine’s] periscope. Thirteen-millimeter guns on the bridge fired as well. Before the sub appeared, a fourth shot from Kano Maru hit the tower of the sub. It is thought the last of the Grunion. The attack had ceased.”

Iwasaki was able to pinpoint the location where the Grunion was shot. Last summer, a team of sonar experts hired by Abele’s sons located the wreckage that they believe is that of the Grunion.

Kretschmann said that she has several vivid memories of her father, including one of the last times she saw him, at Christmas 1941, when he dressed up as Santa Claus and gave her a doll. “I can remember him taking me to Sunday school, too,” she said. “He called me ‘Jitterbug.’”

Shortly after the Grunion disappeared, she had a dream that she was drowning. “I called out for my dad, and it seemed that all of a sudden the skies opened up and there he was,” she said. “He said, ‘I’ll always be with you.’ I woke up and I made a pledge right then that I would never forget him.”

Kretschmann was 6.

Through her contacts with the National Submarine Memorial in Groton and with other family members of the Grunion crew, she feels that she is doing her best to keep her father’s memory alive.

“I am leaving a legacy to my children and my grandchildren,” she said. She has two daughters and two granddaughters.

“I don’t want my father forgotten,” she added. “He’s a hero. I want people to remember that. And I want people to remember his courage.”

Teachers of the year love what they are doing Editor’s note: This is the second in a two-part series about Laurel’s teachers of the year. Last week’s story was about Brandon Noelte, who teaches physical education at Laurel Middle School, and Linda Rubino, a kindergarten teacher at P. L. Dunbar Elementary School.

By Lynn R. Parks The Laurel School District has named its five teachers of the year. From those five teachers, one from each school building, the district will select its teacher of the year, who will go on to vie for the state teacher of the year.

Leroy Travers, 30, Georgetown, is the teacher of the year at North Laurel Elementary. The fourth-grade instructor has been with the district since 2000, when he graduated from Wilmington College with a bachelor’s degree in elementary education. He and his wife, Melissa, have two children, Baxter, 5, and Sienna, 1 and 1/2.

As a stuLeroy Travers dent at Sussex Central High School, Travers was not sure that teaching was the career for him. But his guidance counselor thought that he would make a good elementary school teacher. “In my senior year, she set me up as a mentor in the English as a second language program,” Travers said. “I really enjoyed that, and it made me see that I could do well.”

Travers graduated from Sussex Central in 1994 and went to Delaware Technical and Community College, Georgetown, where he obtained his associate degree in early childhood education in 1998. In addition to that degree and his bachelor’s degree from Wilmington College, he also has a master’s degree in school administration from Wilmington College, which he earned in 2000.

Travers said that his strength as a teacher is the rapport he has with students.

“We seem to connect pretty well, and that facilitates a good learning environment,”

he said.

Because of that rapport, which extends beyond his classroom to students throughout the building, he said, he would someday like to be a school principal. “That way, instead of making a difference for 25 students, I could be making a difference for 500 students,” he said.

Susan Pusey, the teacher of the year at Laurel Intermediate School, has no desire to be an administrator. In fact, she has no desire to leave the classroom where she has taught since she started as a teacher with the Laurel School District.

“I would really be happy if I retired from this same classroom,” said the fifthgrade teacher. “I really like what I’m doing.”

Pusey, 50, a 1974 graduate of Laurel High, decided that she wanted to be a teacher after a few years as a paraeducator at North Laurel Elementary. “I realized that it was something that I would be good at,” she said. “I knew that I have a good rapport with the students and it just felt right. And I could see the wonderful things that were happening in our district.”

In 1994, Pusey started her studies at Wilmington College, going to class in evenings and during the summer. “I had a lot of encourageSusan Pusey ment from the teachers I was working with, and I had a lot of encouragement from my family, to pursue my dream,” she said. She finished her degree in elementary education in the summer of 1998 and started teaching at Laurel Intermediate that fall.

Pusey said that her goal is to make her children feel that her classroom is a safe and nurturing place. “The kids trust me and talk to me,” she said. “I am a good listener.”

She also wants to help children who are special education students and who are mainstreamed in traditional classrooms.

Her first two years were as a special education teacher in a classroom that also had

a regular education teacher.

“I think it is important to have someone in the classroom who understands how special education children think,” she said.

Pusey and her husband, Doug, have two sons, Doug Jr., 27, and Derek, 24, both of Laurel. Her parents, Charlotte and Jerry Todd, also live in Laurel.

Michael Blaine, 39, Seaford, is teacher of the year for Laurel High School. Like Travers and Pusey, Laurel School District is the only district for which Blaine has taught. “You can only be as good as the people around you,” he said. “If you surround yourself with good people you will do a good job and the staff at Laurel High School is awesome.”

Blaine teachers ninth- and 11th-grade English, as well as the 12th-grade AP class. He said that being named teacher of the year is confirmation that people recognize the work he is doing.

“When you are in the classroom, you are kind of isolated,” he said. “This makes me feel like I am doing OK.” The son of Matthew and Donna Blaine, both of whom taught art in the Seaford School District, Blaine said that he used to make fun of his parents, who routinely were in bed by 9 p.m. “And now, what do I do? I go to bed by 9 or 9:30,” he said. “It takes a lot of energy in the classroom, and I am going full-tilt until the end of the day.”

Even so, teaching is worth the sacrifices it requires, he added. “You know how there are some jobs where you feel like you aren’t doing anything?” he said.

Michael Blaine

“Well, when you are a teacher and you are working with young people, you know you are doing something important. You are preparing people for the future.”

Blaine graduated from Laurel High School in 1986 and headed south to the University of Mississippi, where he graduated in 1992 with a bachelor’s degree in English. He started teaching at Laurel High in 1993 and obtained his master’s degree in English from Salisbury University in 2002.

He and his wife, Sara, have a son, Will, 3, and are expecting a second child in May.

mother: “If you want to make it out there, you’ve got to do something with yourself.

You can’t just sit on the couch.”

So Daniel got off the couch and went to work. He first competed against other Delmar students in the school competition.

Contestants could choose from hundreds of poems selected by contest officials. They had to memorize and recite two poems in the school competition. In addition, Daniel had to memorize a third poem for the state competition in case of a tie breaker.

Daniel chose Langston Hughes’ “Theme for English B.” The speaker in this poem is a 22-year old college student from Harlem who is the only black male in his English class. Daniel chose this poem because he felt it related to his own family’s life when they lived in Washington, D.C. “It reminds me of the old life we used to have,” Daniel said.

Daniel shifted poetic forms entirely with his second selection.

“I chose the sonnet because it reminded me of ‘Casablanca,’” Daniel said. “Bogart is one of my favorite actors. He’s real cool with everything. He doesn’t overplay anything.”

Daniel hopes to follow in Bogey’s footsteps and become an actor himself. His dream is to attend New York University.

He credits his experience in drama class and the school play this year as the preparation he needed for the contest.

“I just remembered my [drama] teacher saying, ‘You’re not a quiet person. I know you can speak louder. Let the people feel your voice.’”

This advice was truly beneficial as judges looked for voice projection and articulation as part of the contest criteria.

Carol Kline, Daniel’s English teacher

and Delmar’s Poetry Out Loud coordinator, coached him daily for two weeks after school in preparation for the state competition. They focused on gestures, pronunciation and stressing certain words.

“I really believed he had an excellent chance to win the state competition,” Kline said. “My only concern was in not knowing exactly what the judges were looking for as far as gesturing and tone.”

Daniel’s teachers and coaches have watched him grow since he moved to Delmar three years ago. Lorrie Sonnier taught Daniel English in his tenth-grade year and is now his drama teacher.

“Daniel is OK with who he is,” Sonnier said. “He used to be more self-conscious.

Now he’s much more open to trying new things. He’s a lot of fun.”

Daniel’s basketball coach, Garland Hayward, sees the potential in Daniel as well. At the age of 12, Daniel began teaching himself basic basketball moves. “When I got to Delmar, Coach Hayward taught me more advanced moves,” Daniel said.

Hayward, whose own son has Tourette’s Syndrome, has felt a special connection to Daniel. He found ways for the team to modify passes to work around Daniel’s Asperger’s. He credits Daniel’s “overall hustle and hard work ethic” for his success on the basketball team.

Hayward attended the state competition to support Daniel. He was particularly impressed with his performance of Hughes’ poem.

“At that moment, he was the speaker in the poem,” Hayward said. “I believe he could make it as an actor with training.”

On May 1, Daniel will go back home to D.C. to compete in the national contest.

“The best part is my whole family is coming to see me,” Daniel said.

Western Sussex Academy attendance at 90 percent

By Mike McClure The Laurel School Board received a report on the Western Sussex Academy during its meeting last Wednesday. The board also discussed the status of the state’s No Child Left Behind bill.

The Western Sussex Academy, an alternative school serving special education students, has been in the Laurel School District for eight years. The high school, with students ages 14 to 21 in grades nine through 12, has students from Laurel, Delmar, Seaford and Woodbridge.

The school currently has two special education teachers, one paraprofessional and one social worker, all of whom who work with 15 students. The school’s attendance has grown from under 70 percent the first year to over 90 percent last year.

A total of 11 students have graduated from the academy.

During the board reports, board member Jerry White reported that the state’s No Child Left Behind bill may no longer be in effect as written after this year.

niques was just fantastic,” Heite adds.

Gordon went over various lighting conditions including use of a video light and daylight fluorescent. Also during his program, Gordon shot and demonstrated with models all of his posing. He also demonstrated his workflow, PhotoShop actions, as well as detailing the business strategy that has made his studio one of the country’s largest.

“I definitely learned how to create elegant, fashionable wedding images at light speed,” Heite says. “Doug introduced me to his method of flow posing where he creates 35 poses in 5 minutes.

It is definitely something that I'm going to need to work on back here at home, and I'm really anxious to give it a try.”

Keeping up with the latest photography trends is nothing new to this award winning Bridgeville photographer. Heite has been in business for over 20 years and maintains his studio in Bridgeville, where he specializes in wedding and location portraiture.

With the world of photography changing so rapidly, Heite believes that education is the best way to keep ahead of the crowd. “I also definitely want to thank the Professional Photographers of Delaware for having a great workshop, with an outstanding photographer, like Doug,” Heite adds.

Captain John Smith local events start April 2 Monday, April 2, marks the beginning of a series of events and activities in this area celebrating the 400th anniversary of Captain John Smith's exploration of the Chesapeake Bay and the Nanticoke River.

This first program is sponsored by the Seaford Historical Society and the Methodist Manor House and will be at the Manor House at 7 p.m. on April 2.

At this session John Page Williams, Senior naturalist with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, will present, "Captain John Smith's Adventures on the Nanticoke River."

Williams will give an in-depth recounting of Smith's historic voyage revealing many little known facts. Williams says that Smith's maps are incredibly accurate and served as the definitive rendering of the region for nearly a century.

The program is open to the public. There is no charge. For further information call Anne

Nesbitt at 628-7788.

Schedule of Activities All Events are free and open to the public.

Monday, April 2, at the Manor House, 7 p.m. - John Page Williams, Senior Naturalist at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, will be speaking, "The history of Captain John Smith's Exploration of the Chesapeake Bay." Tuesday, April 24, at the Manor House, 7 p.m. - Darlene Antezana, History Professor at St. George's College, will be speaking, "The Real John Smith."

Monday, May 7, at the Manor House, 7 p.m. - Russ McCabe, director of Delaware Public Archives, will be speaking, "The Story of the Recreation of Captain John Smith's Exploration of the Chesapeake Bay." Thursday, May 17, at the Seaford Museum, 1 p.m. - Grand Opening of Exhibit from Delaware Public Archives, "Memorabilia from 17th Century

Sussex County welcomes Smith as historic planner American author Robert Heinlein once wrote that "a generation which ignores history has no past and no future."

There is no doubt that Sussex County has a Jason B. Smith rich and deep history, from Native American cultures to European settlements.

It's Jason B. Smith's job as Sussex County's new historic preservation planner to make sure that history is not ignored, and thus lost for generations to come.

Mr. Smith began work in mid-February in the County's Engineering Department as the advocate for all things historical.

He will, among other things, review construction plans with an eye toward how they affect historic and cultural resources, as well as spearhead records management and document retention for the County government.

A graduate of the University of Delaware, Smith will ensure that County construction projects for new sewer districts, for example, comply with state and federal regulations when it comes to historic preservation.

It will also be up to him to work with landowners, as well as state officials, to find ways to mitigate the effects a project might have on a historic site, such as burial grounds, historic homesteads and long-lost settlements.

On the surface that might

sound bureaucratic, but it's a necessary part of the construction process in making sure Sussex County's history is not simply dug up and tossed aside.

"It's my role to learn as much as we can about that historic site, and protect that resource as much as reasonably possible," Smith said. "People tend to be very passionate about their history and their heritage. I've quickly discovered that in Sussex County."

"There are a lot of people here whose families have been here for a number of generations, and it's important, as the county grows and evolves, that we not lose touch with that history and heritage," he said.

A native of New Jersey, Smith said he was drawn to Sussex County, not just for the career opportunity, but because of the idyllic locales and the familiarity of the landscape and its people. "It reminds me a little of South Jersey, a lot of farmland and quiet communities," he said.

Assistant County Engineer Russell Archut said he looks forward to Smith's work at the County, adding that sewer construction and plans to create a digital records management and retrieval system for County departments will keep him busy in the months to come.

"Jason will be filling a vital role in the Engineering Department," Archut said. "Our many projects require special skills and knowledge. We believe his background in archeological and historical work, as well as his experience in other areas, makes him the perfect fit for the position."

Forest Service gives check to Fire School Michael Valenti, Assistant State Forestry Administrator, recently presented a check for $15,249 to the Delaware State Fire School.

The funds will be used by the school for its operating budget and to facilitate training for volunteer firefighters and state agencies to handle wildland fires and cooperative prescribed burns.

The ceremony was a continuation of a more than ten year partnership with the State Fire School. The money comes from the Delaware Forest Service's Volunteer Fire Assistance (VFA) grant provided annually by the U.S. Forest Service.

Delaware Secretary of Agriculture, Michael Scuse, said, "We are working together to ensure the safety of our volunteer firefighters and state agency staff. Our forests, public and private, are very important to all of us and to the wildlife that live in them. This partnership will better conserve, protect, and enhance our forests."

To participate in out-of-state wildland fire assignments, firefighters must follow the national standards set by the National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG).

The Delaware Forest Service has adopted the NWCG standards for in-state prescribed burns and wildland fires.

This annual funding gives the Fire School an opportunity to work with the Delaware Forest Service to provide classes to certify volunteer firefighters and state agency personnel as basic wildland firefighters (Firefighter Type II (FFT2)).

In January and February of this year, 54 individuals completed classes and became nationally certified as basic wildland fire-

fighters. Forty were volunteer firemen and 14 were Delaware State Parks' personnel.

Rob Line, DNREC Division of Parks and Recreation's Natural Heritage Program Manager, said, "This is an excellent partnership. The partnership and the funding provided to the Fire School by the Delaware Forest Service gives the State Parks staff an opportunity to support

Forestry's mission and in return garner Forestry's support to better protect State Park's forestry resources.

For more information on the Delaware State Fire School, contact Mike Lowe, at 302-739-4773.

Cookbook takes southern cooking to sophisticated heights Editor’s note: After nearly 10 years writing anonymously for The Star, Loretta Knorr is including her name and photo with her Practical Gourmet column. We are pleased that she has agreed to let us divulge her identity.

The Lee Brothers have something to crow about. Matt and Ted are food writers for the New York Times whose southern cookbook has been nominated for cookbook of the year by both the James Beard Foundation and the International Association of Cooking Professionals (IACP). No small accomplishment. Subtitled, “Stories and Recipes for Southerners and WouldBe Southerners,” the book tells of how the brothers, while living in Charleston, triumphed over their northern roots and learned to “cook southern.” Classic recipes are taken to new heights with a cooking style that has been described as simple, yet sophisticated. Perfect examples are the two recipes below.

Every southerner knows about Ambrosia. This ubiquitous salad calls for canned tangerine segments, canned pineapple chunks, marshmallows, shredded coconut and mayonnaise. This food of the gods has been described as “a salad created for someone who’d rather eat dessert first.” The Lee brothers’ take is a contrast in texture and color with a delicate herbal flavor.

A New Ambrosia Serves 4. This is great paired with anything fried or spicy. It may also be a salad

The Practical Gourmet

By Loretta Knorr course when scooped over a small bed of arugula or other greens.

For the salad: 1 large grapefruit, supremed (white membrane cut away from segments) 1 large navel orange, supremed 3/4 cup chopped celery (about 2 stalks) 1 and 1/4 cups finely diced Haas avocado (about 1 avocado) 1 and 1/2 cups seeded and chopped cucumber (about 1 large cucumber) 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil 1 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced For the dressing: 2/3 cup buttermilk 2 tablespoons lime juice 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 garlic clove, mashed to a puree 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh tarragon 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut (if unsweetened is unavailable, use 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon sweet-

ened shredded coconut) 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper In a large bowl, combine all the salad ingredients.

In a medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, the lime juice and olive oil until blended. Whisk in the garlic puree, tarragon, coconut, salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss.

If you wish, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 1 hour to cool the salad and allow the flavors to meld. Toss again before serving, and serve with a slotted spoon.

Named for the town of Frogmore, S.C., the following stew is famous in the Low Country when the shrimp and blue crab seasons overlap. Sometimes known as low country boil, it’s a one-pot wonder of whole, shell-on shrimp, split crabs, corn on the cob, and smoked sausages in a seafood broth. Matt and Ted offer the original but their variation takes this dish from rustic to elegant.

Frogmore Stew Serves 6 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, peanut oil, or canola oil 1 and 1/2 pounds smoked pork sausage, Cajun andouille, or kielbasa, cut on the bias into 1 and 1/2-inch pieces 2 Serrano, Thai, or other dried red chilies, trimmed, slit down their sides, seeded, and flattened

Restaurant inspections results are online Finding out about a food establishment's latest inspection is as easy as going online. Delaware Health and Social Services Division of Public Health is now posting results of restaurant inspections on its’ website at www.dhss.delaware.gov Visitors can view the establishments by name, county, or date of inspection to see inspection results. Both minor and major violations of state standards are included.

The current posting includes results dating back to March 2, 2007 and will be updated on a weekly basis. This new service makes it easier for the public to check on eating establishments and allows people to quickly find out whether restaurants are meeting food safety standards.

In Delaware, there are over 3,500 permitted food establishments that prepare and serve food to the public. Most of these are inspected twice a year using the State of Delaware Food Code, a science-based regulation similar to the national model from the US Food and Drug Administration.

The inspections assure the food is being handled properly from preparation through serving.

Inspectors observe kitchen worker's food handling practices, make sure equipment is working properly, take food temperatures, inspect refrigerators and storage areas, and measure water temperatures and sanitizer levels.

If a problem is found, the manager is shown the correct procedure.

• Unsafe food sources - food not processed by a regulated, inspected plant • Inadequate cooking - food not cooked to required temperature • Improper holding - food not kept hot or cold enough before served • Contaminated equipment - unsanitized food services • Poor personal hygiene - improper hand washing The online report shows the date of the most recent food safety inspection and which Food Code "critical" requirements, if any, were out-of-compliance at the time of the inspection.

• Critical Violations - those practices that are more likely to increase the risk of a food-borne illness - that is, these involve the risk factors mentioned above: source, cooking, holding, contamination and personal hygiene.

• Non-critical Violations - which are not displayed, involve important retail practices such as facilities maintenance and general sanitation, but are less likely to contribute to food-borne illness.

• "None" when entered in the Food Code Critical Violations column indicates that there were no Critical Violations observed during the inspection on the date listed.

Treasurer urges SSI recipients to use direct deposit As the United States Senate declares March "Go Direct" month to spotlight the safety and security benefits of direct deposit for Social Security payments, Delaware State Treasurer Jack Markell urges those Delawareans who receive Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) checks to sign up for direct deposit through the Go Direct! campaign.

"Identity theft, check fraud and other financial crimes affect millions of Americans every year," Markell said. "However, there are safeguards that people can put in place to increase their financial safety such as choosing direct deposit."

The Delaware Go-Direct! campaign, launched in 2006 as a partnership between the Office of the State Treasurer and the U.S. Department of the Treasury works to ensure that all Delaware Social Security beneficiaries know about, understand and use direct deposit.

"A recent survey shows that financial crime is a widespread concern with four in 10 saying that they either have been victims of identity theft or know someone who has," Markell stated referring to a national survey conducted by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Financial Management Service of 1,003 adults age 18

and over.

"These statistics show that we need to be as vigilant as possible in protecting our identities, and if you receive Social Security and SSI benefits, direct deposit is the best way to minimize the risk of financial crimes when receiving paper checks."

The Commissioner of the U.S. Treasury's Financial Management Service reported that 57,000 checks issued were fraudulently endorsed last year, while problems with direct deposit were negligible, and that while paper checks make up to 20 percent of the total Social Security and SSI payments, they account for more

than 90 percent of reported payment problems.

Additionally, U.S. Treasury officials report that 1,200 checks worth $12.7 million had the names or dates altered, and nearly 1,800 checks worth $32.6 million were counterfeit.

"If you remove the opportunity of someone having access to your money and your identity, you decrease the chance of fraud," Markell stated.

Delawareans can sign up for direct deposit of their Social Security and other federal benefits for free at 800-333-1795 or www.state.de.us/treasure.

Delmar library suffering shortfall in annual budget

By Mike McClure The Delmar Joint Council received a report from representatives of the Delmar Public Library on its future plans and current budgetary problems during the council’s monthly meeting on Monday, March 26. The council also held a pair of public hearings on Maryland issues.

Dr. Wayne Bastian, president of the Delmar Public Library Commission, reported that the library has a shortfall in its budget due to a decrease in funding from Sussex County. The library, which has

4,600 users including 1,832 in Delmar, Md., does not receive funds from the state of Maryland or Wicomico County.

The library does not charge Delmar, Md., residents a $15 user fee, something it charges non-Delmar residents who have a card there. Bastian said the library does not want to charge the fee to Delmar, Md., residents, but he also doesn’t plan on spending more money than the organization receives.

The library has funds set aside for a new building, for which it needs to raise $1 million. Bastian said it could use some

Wildcat band could have new uniforms by this fall

By Daniel Richardson Delmar music teacher David Smith gave a presentation to the Delmar School Board Tuesday, March 20, on the need for new band uniforms. Smith explained that the current uniforms are now 11 years old and beginning to show wear.

According to Smith, the uniforms were meant to last only 10 years. One of Smith's main concerns, aside from the fact that the uniforms are visibly worn, is that the students seem to be bigger than in the past and fitting students into the uniforms is not always an easy task.

Smith told the board that one uniform recently had to be specially ordered for a student. The uniform took months to come in and cost the school more than $400.

The board looked at a uniform that Smith had made according to his design.

Still to be decided are the design of a patch that will go on the uniform and of the hat.

The students will have some input in the design of the patch and hat, but Smith will ultimately make the final decision.

"It's best for me to listen, then make my own decision," Smith said.

Two other uniform companies will be asked to make sample uniforms identical to the prototype viewed by the board. A seamstress will take all three sample uniforms and test them for durability and quality. Which company will make the uniforms will be based on quality and cost.

Smith estimated the cost of the uniforms at nearly $400 each, and the school will need about 100 uniforms. As board member Joanne Gum put it, "In essence we are looking at $40,000."

The board has asked Smith to go through the comparison process and come back with a more precise dollar figure.

Some fundraising will have to be done as a portion of the money will need to be raised from the community. Smith expects that, pending board approval and finances, the uniforms would be available for students early in the fall.

Laurel’s Dog Day will include football reunion On Saturday, March 31, the Laurel Alumni Association will sponsor its first annual “Dog Day,” to be held at the Laurel Middle School Field House and football field.

The festivities will begin at 10 a.m. with a free sports cards show and silent auction in the field house. Local service organizations will be providing food concessions in the area between the field house and the football field, and the highlight of the day will be a reunion of Laurel Bulldog football teams from the past 70 years.

All members of any Laurel high football team are invited to meet at the football field at noon, to be recognized as teams on the football field. The returning team with the most members attending the reunion will have a scholarship named and presented in their honor at this year's Laurel Alumni Association scholarship banquet in May, and a competition between

teams is also being planned (who will win bragging rights?). The Laurel Alumni Association decade chairmen will be contacting representatives from the teams in an effort to make as many former players as possible aware of this reunion.

At 1 p.m., the "Dog Day Cow Cash" cow drop will be held on the football field, and two prizes will be awarded this year: Grand prize is $2,500 cash, and a weekend get-away will be awarded to the runner up.

Tickets for the Cow Cash are $10, and all proceeds benefit the Laurel Alumni Association scholarship fund.

For more information, contact John Downes (a former Bulldog quarterback and past president of LAA) at 875-8304 or 875-4538.

of the money set aside for the building to help with the $80,000 needed to meet the current operational budget.

“We’d hate to cut our services,” Bastian told the council.

According to a space needs assessment prepared for the library last summer, there were 45,702 visits to the library in 2005.

The report estimated that the service population in Maryland and Delaware would reach 15,638 in 2006 and 17,219 in 2011.

The Delmar (Md.) Commission held a public hearing on the proposed real estate tax rate in that side of town. Under the proposal the tax rate will stay the same as last year (.676 per $100 of assessed value), but the anticipated growth will bring the town $63,000 in extra assessment value.

The commission voted, 5-0, to keep the rate the same.

The commission also held a public hearing on a proposed annexation of 28,000 square feet of land in Delmar, Md., owned by Acorn Land LLC. The land, located on the west side of town near Wood Creek, will probably be used for townhouses.

The planning and zoning commission has not received a concept plan from the developers. Acorn Land LLC will have to go through the planning and zoning commission for anything other than its R4 zoning, which permits single family residences.

Some residents said the Wood Creek area is already overpopulated with houses.

Commissioner Carl Anderton said allowing the annexation would give the town a say on how the land is used as well as providing a tax benefit. The commission voted, 5-0, in favor of the annexation.

Chris Walter appeared before the Del-

Open 6 a.m.- 12 p.m.

Monday thru Saturday

mar (Del.) Joint Council regarding the agreement between the town and the Delmar Revitalization Committee to make the organization a town committee (like parks and recreation). Walter implemented all of the council members’ proposed changes, but he questioned why the committee had to hold monthly financial meetings when other committees are not required to do so.

“We wanted to be treated like all the other committees,” said Walter.

“If I’m asked a question I want to be able to answer it,” Council member Diane Buckley said.

The Joint Council agreed to require all town committees to provide minutes and treasurer’s reports from their meetings.

The Council also voted, 8-0, to accept the Delmar Revitalization agreement.

Earlier in the meeting, the council and commission approved the following proclamations: March is Red Cross Month (Delaware and Maryland); April is Municipal Government Works month (Maryland), and April is Fair Housing month (Maryland and Delaware). The two bodies also approved a proclamation honoring Thomas Lee Latham, a native of Delmar, Md., who was killed March 11 in Iraq.

Town manager Sara Bynum-King reported that the town is still looking for a public works director. The town hired someone to fill the position, but he later declined the offer to pursue another position. The town is accepting applications through March 30.

Buckley also announced that the 31st Day in the Park will take place on Saturday, June 2, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The rain date is Saturday, June 16.

“Your Satisfaction is Our Goal”

Lynda Messick honored by Red Cross for volunteer work At the Delaware Women's Conference on March 3, at the University of Delaware, Red Cross volunteer Lynda Messick received the 2007 Impact Your Community Award.

As an American Red Cross of the Delmarva Peninsula volunteer since 2001, Ms. Messick has shown a true dedication to both the local Red Cross chapter and the national Red Cross.

She has assisted locally when disaster strikes, working in disaster shelters as needed. She also gave up a week's vacation to help the victims of the Hurricane Charlie in Florida in 2005.

During non-disaster times, Ms. Messick is often called upon to be a Red Cross media spokesperson for Southern Delaware, an ambassador to businesses in this region and by providing insight and leadership to chapter-wide committees.

As a Sussex County business leader, Ms. Messick has proactively taken the role of ambassador for our local Red Cross chapter. She has conducted many radio and television interviews, educated the public about the need of being prepared, the work we do locally and our need for funding.

She has worked to understand our mission, which is her mission, and communicates this mission very effectively.

She was a vital part of the success of

the 2005 Red Cross Hometown Heroes Breakfast that was held at the Bay Center in Dewey Beach, which honored Sussex County residents.

She also was a part of a Sussex County community leaders initiative to raise funds for Hurricane Katrina victims - which raised over $65,000 in a matter of hours!

As a community leader, Ms. Messick developed a team of employees from Delaware National Bank to help at the Red Cross exhibit at the Delaware State Fair. She also arranged for Delaware National to be our sponsor, which included purchasing of brochures, pamphlets and other helpful information to help attendees understand the importance of being prepared for emergencies and the work of the American Red Cross.

Now as the president of Community Bank Delaware, she is again leading her new team to be supporters of Red Cross.

The American Red Cross of the Delmarva Peninsula is proud that Ms. Messick is a member of our Board of Directors and a very active volunteer.

The local Red Cross has benefited from her leadership, empathy, caring and her dedication.

Messick was nominated by Sarah Gilmour, Administrator of Volunteer Services and Communications for the American Red Cross of the Delmarva Peninsula.

April 25 declared Red Hat Day Governor Ruth Ann Minner, Lt. Governor, John Carney Jr. of Delaware and Mayor James Ford of Lewes have declared April 25, 2007 as Red Hat Day in Delaware.

The Red Hat Society began on April 25, 1998 in Fullerton, California, with the gift of a red hat by it's founder Sue Ellen Cooper to her friend, Linda Murphy.

The hat symbolized their decision to greet middle age with verve, humor, and élan.

Underneath the frivolity, they share a bond of affection and a genuine enthusiasm for wherever life takes them next.

For the Ladies of the Red Hat Society, turning the big 5-0 is a reason to celebrate.

Each Chapter, who has it's own queen,

meet usually once a month for lunch, teas, concerts, trips, cruises and other activities to celebrate life after 50.

There are no "rules" to follow as a member of the RHS, but each member must wear a red hat and purple outfit to all Red Hat Events.

All women under 50 are also welcome as long as they wear a pink hat and lavender outfit.

Royal Queen Mother BJ is the moderator for the DelawareRHSMembers@yahoogroups.com, and can be reached at bjy324@netzero.net.

The Delaware Red Hats are on the Move greeting middle age with silliness and spirit. To learn more about the Red Hat Society, visit www.redhatsociety.com.

Prayer Room Open to Public Concord United Methodist Church invites the community to visit their "Interactive Prayer Room" which will be open from 9 a.m. till 6 p.m. on Sunday, April 1, through Friday, April 13. This room has been transformed into an inspiring haven of seven sacred stations, each conducive to personal reflection of where one stands in his or her Christian journey.

Activities such as drawing lots for Christ's clothing, touching Jesus' sharp crown of thorns, tasting the bitter hyssop, and hammering a spike into a rough hewn cross while asking for forgiveness of a

specific sin will bring Jesus' final days to excruciating reality for visitors. A quiet space with a kneeling bench and open Bible encourage reading, studying, lingering, and listening at the end of the prayer walk. It is the hope of those bringing you this inspiring prayer room that you will be reminded vividly of the sacrifice Christ made for all who choose to repent of their sins and accept God's magnificent grace gift.

For 2 years this special prayer setting has been so well received in this usually "traditional" worship-style family chapel that its congregation decided to offer it again for a third year. Concord UMC is located at 25322 Church Road (Route 20A, just off Concord Road 20, east of Seaford).

Preschool accepting registrations

Anna Legates-Beste was recently inducted into the Hall of Fame at Delaware Technical & Community College in Georgetown. From left: Denise Gooch, chairwoman of the Hall of Fame committee, Legates-Beste, Dr. June Turansky, co-chairwoman, and Stephanie Smith, dean of instruction.

Retired department chair is honored by Del Tech A former department chairwoman for the Office Administration Technology at Delaware Technical & Community College, Georgetown, was recently inducted into the Hall of Fame at the Owens Campus. Anna Legates-Beste, a long-time resident of Dewey Beach, was honored for her dedication and outstanding service to the college at a ceremony on March 15. A bronze plaque will be hung in the foyer of the Stephen J. Betze Library in recognition of her contributions.

Legates-Beste grew up in Milford and graduated from Milford High School in 1968. In 1972 she earned a bachelor’s degree in business education and completed 45 credits beyond a master’s of instruction degree from the University of Delaware in 1981.

After four years as a business education teacher at Lake Forest High School, Legates-Beste began her employment at Del Tech in 1976. She was hired as an instructor for the Secretarial Technology Department, now Office Administration Technology (OAT). She recruited, advised

and taught aspiring administrative assistants for 25 years. The last seven of those years were in her successful role as department chair for the OAT and Legal Assistant programs.

With her teaching career based on the philosophy of “students come first,” Legates-Beste oversaw many changes within the department: accreditation by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs, revisions of college-wide curriculum - including an updated 21st century name - a revamp of the internship program and the establishment of a solid rapport with the business community were among the accomplishments.

Those efforts resulted in a 99-percent job placement record of the department’s graduates.

Married to Ed Beste, she now channels her energy into property management, playing the market with a little help from CNBC, local politics, walks on the beach, visits with family and friends and several pet organizations.

Easter egg coloring is one of the well-known traditions associated with the holiday.

Coloring eggs can be fun for children and adults alike. As with many Christian holidays, some of the traditions associated with Easter are rooted in prior Pagan rituals or are influenced by European settlers to North America. Easter is a spring holiday, and spring is synonymous with fertility and new life. Eggs are thus linked to the festivities because of their connection to fertility. What’s more, according to History.com, German settlers in America are said to have brought over the tradition of a bunny named “Oschter Haws” who would visit houses on Easter eve, leaving colored eggs for children. Easter eggs were painted different colors to represent the sunlight of spring. Christians later used eggs to symbolize the rebirth of Christ.

For those who will be incorporating the magic of colored eggs in their festivities this year, there are several ways to adorn the eggs that go above and beyond the traditional coloring kits. Here are a few ideas to consider.

1. The well-known Paas coloring kit still remains a classic favorite, replete with dipping spoons and colored packets.

Many companies have put their own spins on the coloring kit to include a brighter array of colors and even stickers and other embellishments.

2. There are shrink-wrap kits that feature plastic rings that shrink into place when the eggs are boiled. The rings are imprinted with an Easter design.

3. You can make your own egg dye with the following recipe: Combine 1⁄2 to 1 tablespoon of food coloring with 2 teaspoons white vinegar in a cup that can accommodate an egg. Add water to about the half-way point. Dip in the eggs with a spoon to color.

4. Tie-dye eggs can be created by wrapping rubber bands around eggs before dipping them into the dye. Remove the rubber bands after the dye has dried and see the designs that have resulted.

5. A similar technique can be achieved by using wax crayons and dye. Color designs onto the egg with the crayons, such as dots, lines or squiggles. When the eggs are dipped in the dye, the crayon will repel the dye and leave the designs in place. Those who don’t want to use dye with very young children can simply color in the eggs with the crayons.

6. ‘Egg’stra special designs can be made by using craft supplies to adorn the eggs. Make cute egg people or animals to display. How about an Easter bunny complete with cotton ball tail? Scour the craft store for stick-on jiggle eyes, fuzzy noses and more.

7. You can use regular acrylic paint to brush or sponge on designs.

For safety’s sake, don’t eat any eggs that use a dye other than a natural food coloring .

8. Food and beverages can be used to create natural dyes. Boil eggs with beets, spinach, tea, blueberries and more to create the colors desired.

9. Use your imagination and rely on just about anything to make eggs dazzling. Glitter, markers, paints, stickers and so much more can help you to create one-of-a-kind eggs.

Hard-boil know-how Of course eggs need to be hard-boiled before decorating. Place your eggs in a pot filled with cold water, covering the eggs. On medium-high heat, bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the eggs for approximately 10 minutes. Place the boiled eggs in cold water to cool before coloring.

MORNING STAR âœł MARCH 29 - APRIL 4, 2007

Arts & Entertainment Spring Choral Concert to honor war veterans Arranger, composer, actress, Roo Brown of Lewes is among the guest performers with the Southern Delaware Choral Society during its spring concerts to honor veterans, "The Civil War and Beyond: a musical tribute to those who have served at home and abroad," under the direction of John Ranney, at Woodbridge High School in Bridgeville on Saturday, April 28 at 7:30 pm, and the Rehoboth Beach Convention Center on Sunday, April 29 at 3 pm.

The concert is dedicated to those who have served and are serving in the armed forces. Music of the Civil war will dominate the program including several hymn settings from the era.

As a guest conductor and long time member of SDCS, Ms. Brown will conduct her "Folksong Suite," an arrangement of evocative folk pieces including the well-loved "Black is the Color of my True Love's Hair". "These songs were taken from an old Jo Stafford recording which I have always loved." Said Ms. Brown, "It is a joy to hear the Choral Society sing them."

There is also a close family tie with the Civil War. "I became interested in the Civil War when I found my great-grandfather's letters in the University of South Carolina Library," said Ms. Brown, "He was a colonel in the 22nd Mississippi Regiment and wrote home constantly."

There are very few residents in and around Lewes who are not familiar with Ms. Brown. She is originally from Princeton, N.J. and New York City where she acted in commercials and plays, as well as arranged and wrote music for many wellknown artists.

Who can forget that she is the woman in the award winning "Where's the Lumps" gravy commercial? She has acted Off-Broadway in comedies starring in "A....My Name is Alice and A....My Name is Still Alice."

She moved to Lewes in 1995 and has not stopped lending her musical and acting talents to local organizations. As Executive Director of the Henlopen Theater Project for 10 years, she oversaw dozens of popular productions put on by the theater company.

Recently she and her son, Charlie Brown of Philadelphia, gave a repeat performance as MCs of the annual Henlopen Theatre Project "Trivial Night," this year held at the Mariachi Restaurant in Rehoboth.

As a member of the Southern Delaware Academy of Life Long Learning, she is the director of the in-house musical group, "The Elder Moments.� Also at SDALL she taught her popular series of Civil War classes in which she compared one year of the war with world events taking place at the same time.

A graduate of Smith College, where she majored in music, Ms. Brown studied composition with Alvin Etler and jazz improvisation with John Mehegan at Juilliard.

She was a member of the BMI Musical Theater Workshop under the direction

of Lehman Engel and Maury Yeston. She has arranged and composed for vocal groups since high school. Her music for stage can be seen in Music International's "When the Cookie Crumbles" and her song "You will Be With Us" has been released on Jersey Transit's Magic Moments CD. Her sacred works have been performed in Georgia, New York, New Jersey, Delaware and England.

Arranger and composer, Rosemary Galloway of Toronto, is also a guest performer. Galloway will conduct the choir and band singing her arrangement of a Stephen Foster medley.

A jazz bassist, composer and musical director, Galloway's credits include playing with such internationally known musicians as Clark Terry, Vic Dickenson, Wild Bill Davison, Buddy Tate, Jay McShann, and many others. Since the early 80's Ms. Galloway has acted as musical director for her own groups The Swing Sisters and Velvet Glove and recently became musical director for The Priscilla Wright Big Band.

She is also a co-leader of The Jane Fair/Rosemary Galloway Quintet and her recent CD with this group features her original composition, "Waltz Out." Guitarist and composer, Jeffrey Van, will also preform at the event. Van's performance with the choir of his composition, "A Procession Winding Around Me: Four Civil War Poems by Walt Whitman, for SATB, choir and guitar."

Written in 1991, Van's Civil War composition for classical guitar, setting music to the inspirational poems of Whitman, has been performed more than 30 times by Van in various parts of the country and once in Gettysburg.

The poems include "By the Bivouac's Fitful Flame," "Beat! Beat! Drums!," "Look down Fair Moon," and "Reconciliation."

Van has premiered over 50 works for guitar including Dominick Argento's Letters from Composers, five concertos and a broad variety of chamber music. He has performed at Carnegie Hall in New York, London's Wigmore Hall and the Kennedy Center in Washington DC. As part of a Duologue, with flutist Susan Morris De Jong, Van has premiered and recorded commissioned works from more than a dozen well-known composers.

He has been featured in many NPR broadcasts and made several solo ensemble recordings with the Dale Warland Singers.

Also appearing at the concert will be bagpiper Henry DeWitt of Rehoboth and the Chesapeake Silver Cornet Brass Band under the direction of Ed Hockersmith.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students and are available by calling 6452013. There are a limited number of complimentary tickets available for veterans by contacting Jack Emery at 934-6569.

In addition to the generous support of the Sussex County Council, in particular Councilman Lynn Rogers, the concert is underwritten in part by the Delaware Division of the Arts.

Police Journal Suspect Sought in Bank Robbery Delaware State Police are investigating a bank robbery that occurred Wednesday, March 21, at approximately 11:27 a.m., at Artisans' Bank, 19358 Miller Road just west of State Route 1, Rehoboth Beach.

A white male suspect, wearing a green Army jacket with a black hooded sweat shirt underneath it, entered the bank and was told by an employee that he needed to take the hood off. The suspect reached for his hood, but instead of taking it off, he pulled a mask over his face. The suspect then approached two female employees and demanded money while keeping one hand in his pocket implying that he had a weapon. The suspect was given an undisclosed amount of money, and he fled the bank. The suspect was last seen running between the bank and another building toward the Safeway shopping center.

The suspect was in his early to mid20s, over 6 feet tall, very slender, with blue eyes and brown hair. Besides the clothing description mentioned above, the suspect was also wearing baggy gray sweat pants, white latex gloves wrapped with Ace bandages, silver-framed glasses, and he had a band-aid placed vertically on his right cheek.

Anyone with information about this crime is urged to call Detective Timothy Conaway at (302) 856-5850, Ext. 208 or Crime Stoppers at (800) TIP-3333.

Fire in Laurel under investigation The Delaware State Fire Marshal's Office is investigating a house fire that occurred on Wednesday, March 21, at approximately 6:47 p.m. in the 700 block of Elm Street in Laurel.

The Laurel Fire Department responded to the scene and was assisted by the Blades, Delmar, and Sharptown, Md,. fire departments. Upon arrival they encountered smoke showing from the attic and second floor.

J. W. Scott of Delmar owns the home, which has first and second floor apartments. Larry Wilson resides in the second floor apartment and was not home at the time of the fire. Krystel Lopez resides in the first floor apartment, which was occupied by her children. All were able to escape without injury. The home was equipped with working smoke detectors.

The Red Cross was called to assist with housing for the victims.

State Fire Marshal’s Investigators have determined that the fire originated on the second floor ceiling and the cause is under investigation. Damages have been listed at approximately $200,000.

Helicopter crash injuries are minor A Bell Jet Ranger III Helicopter crashed Friday, March 23, as it was taking off in a development that is under construction west of Lewes. The development, called The Ridings, is located off of Beaver Dam Road.

Preliminary results of a state police investigation revealed that at approximately 3:55 p.m., as the helicopter was taking off from inside the development, it apparently struck a power line and then crashed into a field inside the development. The helicopter had just picked up three employees of Centex Homes and was preparing to fly

them back to Virginia. The employees had been in the area to survey jobsites.

The pilot of the helicopter, Kara Dewitt, 31, of Richmond, Va., refused medical treatment. Dewitt is employed by HeloAir out of Richmond.

The three passengers were Robert K. Davis, 51, of Oakton, Va., Ronald Salameh, 37, of Rockville, Md., and Lionel Carter, 40, of Gainesville, Va. Salameh and Carter were transported to Beebe Medical Center where they were treated for minor injuries. Davis refused treatment.

Seaford Police officer in crash The Delaware State Police Collision Reconstruction Unit (CRU) is investigating a minor injury crash involving a Seaford Police Officer. The crash occurred March 19 at approximately 9:04 a.m., at the intersection of Sussex County Road 46 (Old Furnace Road) and County Road 446 (Asbury Road).

A 2003 fully-marked Ford Crown Victoria police cruiser operated by Officer Todd J. White, 24, of the Seaford Police Department, was traveling east on CR 46 approaching the intersection with CR 446.

A 2005 Jeep Wrangler operated by Amber M. Ruhl, 20, of Laurel, was traveling north on CR 446 approaching the intersection with CR 46. Ruhl initially stopped for a stop sign at the intersection, but then pulled out into the path of the police cruiser. The right front of the police cruiser then struck the left front side of the Jeep.

After impact, the cruiser traveled off the north edge of the roadway and came to rest in a yard. The Jeep spun clockwise and came to rest in the roadway.

Officer White, who was wearing a seatbelt, was treated at Nanticoke Hospital for an abrasion to his right knee. Ruhl, who was also wearing a seatbelt, was treated at Nanticoke Hospital for a neck strain.

Suicide ruled in fatal fire On Monday, March 19, state police detectives responded to the scene of a fatal house trailer fire at the corner of Bacons Rd, and Bittersweet Dr., outside of Delmar, to assist the Fire Marshal's Office with a death investigation. The blaze was reported shortly before 9 a.m.

A male victim, later identified as Vaughn R. Hearn, 36, of Delmar, was found deceased in the home after firefighters extinguished the flames. Through the investigation into the death and the subsequent autopsy results, investigators have determined that Hearn died of an apparent suicide when he ignited household contents with an open flame.

Heavy fire damage was estimated at $10,000.

Charges dropped March 16 Charges against Jim Penix, 18, of Laurel, who had been arrested in January by the Laurel Police, have been dropped.

Penix had been charged with harassment. He appeared in Family Court on March 16 and the case was “Nolle Prosequi,” in effect meaning the case against the defendant is being dropped. This action is taken in civil cases where evidence is lacking or the defendant is presumed to be innocent.

but I'd like to help with this one!

Saturday, March 31, is the Laurel Alumni Association’s "Dog Day." This year, the event is set up differently to draw some extra interest. Former Bulldog football players are invited back for an on-thefootball field event.

No, I don't think they are going to play a game. But it's going to be a fun time, and proceeds will go to scholarships for deserving students who are children of LHS grads. I did overhear a conversation Sunday between graduates Kendal Jones and Dr. Pierce Ellis with Kendal telling "Doc" he was their class representative.

Oyster sandwiches, Barbecued chicken and more will be there for everyone to enjoy at the Laurel High School football field, as well as the sports cards and memorabilia show in the field house. There may even be a little bit of Laurel memorabilia for those who enjoy those things.

And oh yes, don’t forget our "Cash Cow" and that big event. Time is 10 a.m. till 2 p.m. or later and I hear we are going to have some out-of-town guests. Welcome back, everyone!

Al Phillips, a 1963 Laurel graduate and Seaford resident, was sharing with me his concerns the other day. Al, a Vietnam veteran, has a son, Dwayne Albert, who is currently serving in Afghanistan. Dwayne is a Seaford graduate and an Eagle Scout some years ago. Dwayne is an E4 and is 29 years old. Al's age, when he went to Vietnam, was also 29.

The Best Pick For

EASTER

Al, our prayers are with you and your family as well.

Gary Cannon is the Laurel High School track coach. He has also coached football and other sports at various levels. With the usual small track team in Laurel last week, Gary's team made a strong showing against powerhouse Poly Tech, a very large school.

Gary is a 1968 Laurel graduate and former member of the football squad, so we expect to see him Saturday at the alumni sports event at the Laurel Football Field. I am told that his track team certainly deserves some recognition for its early-season effort. It is a reflection of Gary's enthusiasm.

Thanks to classmate Donald Crouch, I have received work on Jennings “Spuck” Dickerson, a 1949 Laurel High graduate.

Spuck lives in Deerfield Beach, Fla., and according to Donald is still going strong.

Spuck played sports at Laurel but was also quite a musician. I was not told what instrument he played, but anyway, he still is using this talent as he is in a musical group called the Kili Kids.

The exciting part of this is the fact that the band will be performing at the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C., on April 8. The band will play at the Jefferson Memorial at 4 p.m.

See you Saturday at the Laurel Alumni Association event. Remember — it’s for everybody, food and all!

Letters Sussex needs dental clinic It doesn’t take long for newcomers to Sussex County to realize how poor dental health is in our citizens. There are numerous jokes that begin “How do you tell a Sussex County girl from...” As a dental health professional I do not find it amusing. In fact, I find the situation abhorrent.

In 2000, the Surgeon General of the United States released a first-time-ever report on oral health. It focused on how oral health is an essential determinant of a person’s quality of life, functional abilities and sense of well being. C. Everett Koop M.D. called for every state and community to make the oral health of their population a priority. He called for dental professionals, policy makers and interested individuals to get started implementing effective community-based oral disease prevention and health promotion strategies.

In March 2003, after several years of planning, contacting key players at the state level, community-speaking, fundraising and equipment donation gathering, Sussex Smiles Dental Care Inc. opened its doors. The faith-based non-profit organization, modeled on the Pierre Toussaint Dental Office in Wilmington, was and still is the only place in Sussex County where adults receive dental care at fees less than private practice office. The state is our landlord and generously rents us a building on the Stockley Campus in Georgetown. Donations from the Carl M. Freeman Foundation and Delaware Community Foundation enabled us to purchase the two new pieces of equipment we needed.

The Longwood Foundation and Discover Bank each donated $25,000. Community groups like the Seaford Lions and Georgetown-Millsboro Rotary were also supportive. Unfortunately, after the first year we had to stop accepting new patient applica-

tions. The response for services is so overwhelming.

Dental care is expensive and it is a luxury item for many people. Be that as it may, dentists are necessary when delivering dental care; and that is the obstacle for our operation. The Delaware Division of Public Health published a study called “Dentists in Delaware, 1998.” It is full of bar graphs demonstrating the lack of dentists in Sussex County.

Even more disturbing was the finding that more than one third were 55 or older.

It was the hope of the founders of Sussex Smiles to tap into that pool of retiring Delaware dentists. It is well known that the first year of retirement is difficult psychologically for many; and a charity clinic could be a win-win for all concerned.

Dr. Bob Emory of Milford was our first and foremost volunteer dentist. Unfortunately, he moved to Virginia in late 2005 and the citizens of that state are now benefiting from his charity work.

Our next thought was to seek a licensing mechanism for the out-of-state relocating dentists moving here. Unfortunately, we cannot get a bill through the legislative committee as organized dentistry in Delaware objects and lobbies hard. Meanwhile the thousands of Sussex Countians in need of dental care are still waiting.

Sussex Smiles has submitted a FY 2008 Grant In Aid application asking the state to provide money for the salary of a dentist, assistant and receptionist for one year. The 12 members of the Joint Finance Committee who will decide how the money is distributed are: Rep. Cathcart and Sen. Cook, co-chairs; Rep. Booth; Sen. Henry; Rep. Miro; Sen. McBride; and Sen. Wagner; and Sen. Vaughn; Rep. Schwartzkopf; Sen. Amick; Rep. Williams; and Sen. Cloutier.

To e-mail any o them, use the formula of

firstname.lastname@de.state.us. All legislators receive regular mail at P.O. Box 1401, Legislative Hall, Dover, DE 19903.

If you believe low-income adults who live in Sussex County should have an alternate to private-practice offices, and if as a taxpayer you are outraged spending half a million dollars of medical assistance funds per year for adult recipients to drop into the Beebe and Nanticoke emergency rooms for pain and antibiotic prescriptions for dental infections that will keep reoccurring, contact your legislators and the Grant In Aid Committee. Ask them to fund this project.

We need serious money to pay salaries.

Only dental treatment by dentists and preventive services by hygienists like myself can help our community turn its poor dental health around. Let these policy-makers know that Sussex County is tired of being the stepchild.

My observation after decades in dentistry is that oral health is getting worse and worse, even thought scientists are proving it more and more important.

River Road needs fixed This concerns anyone who drives a car, pickup, or motorcycle. I have lived in Delaware on River Road for three years and the situation I’m describing hasn’t gotten anything but worse.

If you own a vehicle you think anything of, don’t take it down River Road. The part of the road I’m referring to is a stretch of road 3/8 of a mile long. It runs from alternate U.S. 13 in Blades to the Aurndel Corp. on River Road. It has got to be the worst road in the county. It is full of holes, hilly, broken up and needs repair. When it rains, the water just stands there as it has

no where to go. This is to say nothing about the dirt and dust when it is dry. This comes from the trucks of Wyoming concrete and the Aurndel Corp.

I have written letters to who I thought were important people with no results.

Something should be done. You can travel from here to Baltimore on back roads and you won’t find a road this bad.

The railroad crossing is not the worst in the county but probably a close second.

As for the people who live south of this portion of River Road, I feel so sorry for them. No way can they keep their homes or cars clean.

If you don’t believe me, just drive through some wet or dry week. What a mess! Can’t something be done?

Grease was the word I’m writing in to talk about the play that the Laurel High School drama club put on recently. I went because my brother, Mike McCrea, was given a part as the Teen Angel and I was really looking forward to hear him sing.

However, what I got was one of the best shows I have ever seen. Everyone in that play was absolutely outstanding. My brother told me how hard everyone worked on this to make it as good as it could be. Those kids put everything they had into it and it showed.

It gave me goose bumps to listen to each and every one of the songs. I went to listen to my brother sing, but what I got was knocked on the floor, take your breath away performances from everyone that took part in this musical. Laurel should be so very, very proud of them! I know I am!

Poet writes verse to commemorate life of his father Editor’s note: The following poem was written by Ralph Thomas about the life of his father, Jim Thomas, Laurel.

My Life’s Journey Till Now Walking through this life Has been quite a journey for me.

Through two centuries It has spanned, seems like eternity.

Through the good times And through the bad I have wandered through this land I have heard Heavenly choirs And the singing of the bands.

Through many struggles And hard trials To times of much Happiness and bliss Many changes Have my eyes seen From the horse and Buggy to cars and planes From rockets to missiles To the walk on the moon From the rock and roll Singers to those who croon.

Roads, towns and cities Have sprung up everywhere

Before there were few.

I remember the fields, Streams and woods as a child.

Everything seemed so peaceful, So secure, so green.

We farmed with mules and tractors and filled The fields with new seed And covered it with fertilizer And watched it grow Till harvest time.

We had crops in Georgia and Delaware Our farm was called Paradise Farms.

There was fishing, the hunting The harvests in the fall The women busily cooking on the hearth The mules in the fields The tractors, the combines The shrill whistle Of the whippoorwill The call of the bob white The melons ripe and red and The potatoes, the corn And the tomatoes too.

We had milk cows, Goats and a chicken house or two.

I gathered eggs in a basket And sold them to neighbors To make a little change.

I remember all this

And much more.

From the farm fields To the far off northern markets Where we shipped our crops By truck and by train Through sunny days and Through the wind and driving rain.

I did a stint in the army During World War II And I am proud to be An American I hope that you are too.

I went to work for DuPont after the war Until I retired in 1978.

In 1955, we build a home, my wife and I, In the woods near the Nanticoke River, where I still live today.

There were nine of us Brothers and sisters In the fold, some young some old.

I was somewhere in the middle.

We all stayed close To the old home place.

My wife and I had four children Of whom we were very proud.

They were full of energy and fun Running in and out Slamming the screen door.

What one couldn’t think of The others sure did.

Makes me glad there weren’t more But I sure enough loved the four.

They are all grown now with children of Their own adding Grand children And great grand children To the tally.

If they all showed up At once I fear There would be Nothing left in the galley.

My wife of many years Passed on in 1994.

She is waiting for me Just inside Heaven’s Door Where I will join her one day.

I will be 91 on March 25, 2007, And I am thankful for each new day.

Every day I take time to pray I am very thankful for each and every day, And for strength and health And that has made all the difference For me and brought peace To my soul.

I am thankful for all the years And for all He has given me.

I am most thankful that I live In the land of the free Where we have great liberty.

Laurel Star Sports Jones, Bulldogs edge Lake Forest, 3-2, in season opener

By Pat Murphy Senior right hander Taylor Jones got the season off on a good note for the 2007 Bulldog baseball team as he went 5 1/3 innings against the Lake Forest Spartans and came out with a 3-2 win with one and two-third innings of relief help from David Bartee. Sophomore right hander Tyree Bordley took the loss for Lake despite going the route and surrendering only one earned run on four Bulldog hits.

The Bulldogs got on the scoreboard first in the second inning as Antwon Trimball worked a walk. Ethan Callaway dropped a perfect sacrifice bunt to the left of Bordley who threw out Callaway but Trimball’s head first slide into third had the Bulldogs with a great opportunity with only one out. The next hitter struck out, however, the run scored on Brandon Hearne’s solid, clutch single to give the Bulldogs a 1-0 lead.

That lead held up until the fifth inning when the Bulldogs tacked on two more runs. Trent Passwaters had singled in the fourth. Antwon Trimball followed with a deep shot to left field that was kept in the park by a stiff wind. Spartan freshman second sacker Cory Smith then started a nice 4-6-3 double play to get the Spartans out of the inning.

But the Bulldogs scored two in the fifth after there were two outs. David Bartee doubled over first and Matt Parker and Lance Kelley reached on errors giving the Bulldogs two unearned runs.

Laurel softball team opens season with 5-0 win over Lake Forest The Laurel varsity softball team scored three runs in the first two innings and two in the fourth in last Thursday’s 5-0 win over Lake Forest. It was more than enough for the visiting Bulldogs who were led by senior hurler Caitlin Dolby’s no-hitter.

Amanda Horsey and Kelsey Oliphant each singled and scored on Jenna Cahall’s double in the top of the first. Samantha Oliphant doubled and scored on an RBI ground out by sister, Kelsey, in the second.

Laurel added two more runs in the fourth when Horsey reached first on an error, Kelsey Oliphant walked, and Brittney Brittingham doubled them in to make it 5-0.

Dolby went the distance, striking out 11 while allowing no runs and no hits and walking two. Horsey went 2-for-4 with a pair of runs and Kelsey Oliphant batted 2-for-3 with two runs and an RBI. Laurel hosts rival Sussex Tech this Friday after visiting Milford on Tuesday.

Delmar Sports Scene

By Tommy Young The Wildcats began their official spring athletic schedule last week, and although their teams were 1-4, their play was not as bad as the wins and losses might indicated considering that all of these teams are very young, and “rookie mistakes” cost them a couple of the defeats.

Down at Nandua on Thursday, the softball team dropped a 3-1 decision in a well pitched game by Erin Tingle, but only Allison Bloodsworth, who went 4-for-5 at the plate seemed to be the one to solve Nandua’s pitching as they could only muster one run.

Meanwhile, the baseball team, with a couple of first year players Joe Pete and Drew Merrill, who led the Delmar offense with a homer and a double, won their opening game 9-2. David Pollitt pitched the first four innings, and Mark Timmons came in to throw the final three as Coach Hearn wanted to see his entire pitching staff early in the season in order to see how they do under fire because of the newcomers, mostly sophomores and juniors. He should have been pleased with these men as they did very well.

Then on Friday, Coach Hearn had a chance to see the rest of his mound crew as they dropped a 7-5 decision to Cape Henlopen after leading Cape 5-1 going into the fifth inning. Dylan Shupe, a freshman, starting his first varsity game, pitched very well for four innings allowing only one unearned run, and his offense had jumped on the visitors for five runs giving Delmar a 5-1 lead. Then, everything began to unravel for the Wildcats as an infield error, a Cape base hit, misplayed fly ball in the outfield, and two runs scored to make the score 5-3.

Then Coach Hearn, thinking that Dylan might be running out of gas, started to bring in the rest of his young hurlers with little success as they gave up four more runs to give Cape Henlopen a 7-5 lead, which turned out to be the final score.

Coach Hearn figured at the beginning of the season, with his ace right hander Matt Campbell still recovering from his knee operation and still on the injured reserve list, that his pitching would be by committee, but he did not want to have to use them all the first two games of the season.

I thought this team, despite the first year players, showed a lot of character

and will only improve as the season goes on, but only the return of Matt Campbell will give them a winning season. I hope he doesn’t come back too soon because he is only a junior, and if he can come back in good shape as a senior, with his athletic ability, he will be able to pick the college of his choice.

Then on Friday, the softball team lost their second game in two days as they did not give Mindi Wheatley much support in the field which was the reason for Delmar’s 5-2 loss to Cape Henlopen. So, it seems they will have to work on their hitting and fielding if they expect to compete in the Henlopen South.

As for the girls’ soccer team, they opened the season over at Cape Henlopen and lost a 2-1 decision in a hard fought game.

So, Cape Henlopen, a Division I school, took all three of the contests, but the Wildcats were very competitive in all three games and have nothing to hang their heads about and neither do the coaches as they are doing a good job.

ASSISTS AND ERRORSLast Saturday, enroute to the Wood Creek golf course, it was nice to see action on every field in the Mason Dixon Complex because we now know spring has finally arrived. Then over at Wood Creek, the same feeling occurred as Art, the club’s golf pro, is back from his winter sojourn in Florida, and the membership is growing every day. As usual, Dave has the course in good shape, and it seemed all they needed was a break in the weather, which arrived last week.

What promise to be their best year looks to be underway.

Incidentally, I will be recording “hole in ones” again this year weekly, but as this is the first time this spring, here are the folks who have performed this feat in the past month: Rodger Hall #15, Vern Dickerson #13, John Reichenberg #11, Lloyd Unsell #17, and Thomas Blaylock #8.

By the way, there are 216 homes occupied around the course itself. This put Delmar suburbs on three sides of town, and when the Sharptown Road project is completed, we will be completely surrounded. A decade ago, who would have imagined such a happening?

✳ MARCH 29- APRIL 4, 2007 Laurel baseball continued hitters.

Trimball singled in the sixth but the Bulldogs failed to pad their 3-1 lead and things got a little sticky in the bottom of the sixth as Lake scored a run to make it 3-2. The Bulldogs had their shaky inning as consecutive errors at third and shortstop scored one run. Jones then retired Andrew Crawford.

Here Laurel head coach Jerry Mears decided Jones had enough in his first outing and replaced him with Bartee. Bartee got out of the inning on a fly ball and picked off the runner after a walk. This play was particularly significant because if the runner on third had crossed the plate first the game would have been tied.

In the bottom of the seventh, Spartan catcher Brad Davis hit a shot to left that was hauled in by Josh Kosiorowski with a little help from the wind. Hacker then hit a squibber in front of the plate that died in the grass as he reached first. Bartee promptly recorded a strikeout and a groundout (pitcher to first) to close the game.

Winning pitcher Taylor Jones gave up only two hits while striking out seven. He walked two.

Delaware Tech baseball/softball teams complete successful week

Raven roundup: Lady Ravens win a pair in opening week

The Delaware Tech-Owens baseball and softball teams continued their run through the regular season last week. The Roadrunners won another five games while the Lady Roadrunners won four of their six games.

The baseball team extended their winning streak to 13 games with a win over Essex on Friday and doubleheader sweeps of Mercer and Potomac State over the weekend.

“So far, I’m obviously pretty happy with the season. This was a pretty big weekend for us,” said Delaware Tech head coach Curtis Brock on Monday. “You’re always hoping you’ll be in this situation at this point in the year. I think we have a very strong team that’s going to go a long way this season.”

The highlight of the week for the Owens Campus was the baseball team’s doubleheader sweep of perennial power Potomac State on Sunday. After winning the first game, 4-1, behind pitchers Mike Castrignano and Keith Schoffstall, the Roadrunners spotted the visitors a 4-0 advantage in the second game before storming back.

Delaware Tech got two runs back in the bottom of the fifth inning before exploding for five runs on five hits in the bottom of the sixth for the 7-4 victory. Josh Wagner had a three-RBI triple, Cody Collins was 2-for-2 with an RBI and Ryan Farrell had a double in the two-inning rally.

The Roadrunners are now 16-3 on the season with doubleheaders coming up this weekend against Lackawanna College and Brookdale Community College.

Delaware Tech has already split four games this year with Brookdale but faces a big challenge in regional play against Lackawanna.

Saturday’s doubleheader is at home beginning at 1 p.m. while Sunday’s game against Brookdale in on the road in Lincroft, N.J. The Delaware Tech softball team finished the week of March 19 with a record of 42, splitting doubleheaders with Cumberland County College and Mercer County Community College before finishing the week with a doubleheader sweep of Chesapeake College.

Friday’s games against Cumberland were both one-sided, with the Lady Roadrunners winning the first game 8-0 and dropping the second by a final of 9-0.

Tiffany Grove picked up the win for Delaware Tech in game one, pitching a complete game three-hitter. On Saturday, the Lady Roadrunners dropped the first game against Mercer before coming back for a 2-1 victory in the second game.

Crystal Spencer, Jamie Bunting and Miranda Dickerson each had two hits in game one while sophomore Mindy Willing went 1-for-2 with a triple in the finale.

“The games against Mercer were two very well played games on both sides,” said Delaware Tech coach Andy Givens. “We always have good games with Mercer. I have no doubt we’ll see them again in the regional playoffs.”

The Lady Roadrunners finished the week by outscoring Chesapeake College 17-6 over two games on Sunday.

Delaware Tech pounded out 19 hits in the two games and got strong outings from Bunting and sophomore Tiffany Grove in the circle.

The Lady Roadrunners (14-4) have doubleheaders this weekend at home against Ocean County College on Saturday and at Salem Community College on Sunday.

Adkins doubled and George Godwin singled in a run for the Ravens. Sharff picked up the loss despite going the distance and allowing two runs on six hits.

The Sussex Tech baseball and softball teams visit Laurel this Friday.

Soccer team nets eight goals in opening win- Regina Fiacco had three goals and two assists, Casey Galon netted three goals, and Ally Mohun added a goal and an assist in the Sussex Tech girls’ soccer team’s 8-0 win over Lake Forest last Thursday.

Bethany Callaway also had a goal and two saves while Katie Nennstiehl recorded one save for the Ravens.

Tech track teams look for successful season- The Sussex Tech boys’ track team features seniors Brandon Krauss, a Division I state champion pole vaulter last spring; Jarred Whaley, and Tom Ford. Junior sprinters Tyrone Hickman and Darius Sivels are also among the team’s top returning athletes.

Coach Marty Cross believes that if his young sprinters develop and the distance runners live up to expectations, the Ravens may compete for the conference title.

The girls’ team features seniors Tiamia Black (hurdles, sprints, jumps) and Nicole Mahoney (distance), junior Ellen Rowe (middle distance), and freshman sprinters Shannay Snead and Danae White.

Cross expects the team’s “impressive group of young sprinters” to help the experienced distance runners pace the Ravens to a successful season.

Sprint cars to return to Georgetown Speedway during ‘07 racing season The Georgetown Speedway has added four special sprint car shows to their schedule for the 2007 season. Fans were ready for the long awaited return in 2006 but Mother Nature rained out a URC show scheduled for last year.

The four dates for the sprint car return are May 9, July 4, Aug. 29, and Nov. The 360 sprint car will be joined by another class for those nights races and that will be determined at a later date.

On a couple of occasions during 2006 the speedway had sprint teams come out during intermission and turn some exciting laps around the huge half-mile oval. Scott Purcell toured the oval in his sprint car for the first time but he did compete in the modified division in the past. Brian Brittingham brought his Salisbury based sprinter to the track for his first laps in a winged machine also in 2006.

“We have been asked when the sprint cars are coming back since the rainout last year. I can’t tell you how many calls from fans and race teams we have had to reschedule the winged warriors back at the track,” says new general manager David Brown.

The 2007 season at the first state facility will consist of weekly racing featuring the high powered modifieds, sleek, super late models as well as the new crate modifieds and crate late models. The Little Lincoln cars also have several dates as do the vintage cars.

Management is also looking at the possibility of a monster truck show, demo derby and a few mud truck racing dates throughout the season. Details on these shows will be announced as plans are finalized.

Fans or teams with questions can call the track hotline at 302-856-7415 or check out the track website at www.georgetownspeedway.com

four run inning and give Woodbridge the win.

“The kids showed a lot of heart, a lot of fight coming back in the game,” said head coach Derek Lofland, whose team beat Delmar for the first time in his tenure. “It was a good win. That’s a huge confidence builder for us, to win that kind of ball game.”

D ELMARVA A UTO A LLEY Stock cars return to Motorsports Complex in Delmar

By Bonnie Nibblett The Delaware Motorsports Complex has cancelled two out of three Test-NTune sessions, and delayed the original opening date due to Mother Nature. Even the points chase for the dragway was delayed one week to Sunday, April 1, which begins the 44th year of racing at the U.S.13 Dragway.

Racers are eager to feel the rush as they zoom down the straight away in a dragster or any of the weekly divisions such as Super ET, Pro, Pro Bike, Street Eliminator, Jr. Dragster 1, Jr. Dragster II, and Bike Trophy that run on the complex.

The month of April kicks off with the first Summit ET Point Series. The Easter Bunny visits the track on April 8 followed by double point's day on April 15.

The first special of the season is April 22 when Delmarva Power Sports introduce their first of two bike shows along with the ET racing plus the first event in the High School Series.

With the dragway just a few weeks ahead of the circle tracks start, there are only 16 days until the sweet roar of the Big Block Modifieds, and Super Late Models, along with both AC Delco Late and Modified TSS crate classes and the mighty Modified Lites.

There is a Test-N-Tune session on Saturday, April 7. Gates open at 5 p.m. with testing from 6-9 p.m. Check the track's hot line at 846-3968 to see if they run.

The 36th year opening the Delaware International Speedway (DIS) half-mile clay oval track is officially April 14. Gates open at 5 p.m. and hot laps start at 7 p.m.

Fans are ready to satisfy their need for speed!

The season offers all kinds of changes with teams and drivers. Beau Wilkins, second placeholder in the 2006 Modified division will seldom be home to run at Delmar this year. Wilkins has taken a job with Robert Yates Racing in fabrication.

We'll miss him, but who can blame him for going, if the opportunity is there. We wish you luck Beau! Sources also say

that Bobby Wilkins (Beau's father and a supreme racer) will take a knock at a super Late Model this year behind Jake Marine's number 85. That should be fun to see! 2005 DIS Late Model driver Richard Jarvis, Jr. will take to the asphalt this season in the Busch North Series.

Richard White, Jr. will not race in the AC Delco Modified this year in order to help his son continue in his quest of go-

kart racing. 2006 AC Delco TSS Modified champ Jack Mullins has plans to go to a crate late model this year. Ross Robinson, the 2nd place AC Delco TSS Late Model champ, will dabble in a super late this year. Robinson had nine wins in his rookie year in the crate class. Don't worry; there are plenty of new drivers and drivers switching from one class or another at the speedway.

One change for all crate classes this year is that all "new" motors have to be purchased through the Salisbury Courtesy Chevrolet dealer. If you had your motor checked last year by DIS technicians and it is still sealed with the DIS seal you will be allowed to run once you go through tech to make sure the DIS seal and motor has not been tampered with.

Below are some of the changes Engine-General Motors spec motor # PN88958602 only. Stock rocker arms that came with the motor only. OEM style fan and water pump crank driven. Crate motors must run all parts that come on the engine. (Example: Must use the distributor and harmonic balancer that came with that motor.)

Distributor-Self contained HEI only comes with motor. Must have MSD Rev.

PAGE 55

Limiter #MSD 8728 with 6000 RPM chip.

All wiring must be exposed and easily traced.

Health Finding zebras in a world of horses

By Dr. Anthony Policastro

Seaford is full of zebras. We don’t always see them. However, they are there. An old saying in medicine is: “If you hear hoofbeats, think of horses”.

While zebras have hooves too, we don’t often hear them or see zebras.

In medicine, common diagnoses are seen on a regular basis. Unusual diagnoses are not often found.

We refer to the common diagnoses as horses. We refer to the unusual diagnoses as zebras.

When a patient presents with confusing symptoms, the odds are that it will turn out to be a common diagnosis. Therefore, we think of the common diagnoses as we try to come up with an answer.

Unfortunately, every now and then we come across a patient with a strange diagnosis. We tend not to look for that particular zebra. So we may not make the diagnosis quickly because of that.

For example, I cared for a patient

about 25 years ago. She was an adolescent that had a major fight with her boyfriend. Her brother came home to find her staring out into space and not responding to him.

She was admitted to the hospital.

The common diagnosis here would be an acute psychiatric reaction to the fight with her boyfriend.

My intern decided to check for zebras because of the unusual nature of the symptoms.

An EEG showed that she was having a prolonged seizure causing the staring spell. She responded to seizure medication. It had nothing to do with the fight with her boyfriend.

I had another child who had some routine elective surgery done and hemorrhaged after the procedure. The intern had carefully asked about a family history of bleeding problems prior to the surgery.

The answer was no. However, when we told the parents about the hemorrhage, they then told us that there was

Dr. Brad Lemon is pleased to announce with the closing of his Georgetown office that he and his staff will be available in his Seaford office Monday through Thursday for appointments.

We refer to the common diagnoses as horses. We refer to the unusual diagnoses as zebras. a history of hemophilia in a distant relative.

They didn’t mention it because they thought the relative was too distant.

However, the relationship fit the inheritance pattern for hemophilia exactly.

I have seen a child with a straight pin in his appendix. I have seen a child with a collection of orange peels in her stomach. These were not the first thing you would think of.

I have seen many such episodes over the years. Sometimes it takes longer than others to come up with the

right answer.

You would think that a small town like Seaford would not have many zebras. That is true. There are many unusual diagnoses out there.

In a small town like Seaford, you do not see them very often. However, sooner or later one or another of these will occur.

When it occurs in a small town, that is when the physicians and the hospital in that town need to look for the zebras.

The problem is knowing when to start looking for the unusual diagnosis.

We cannot do that with everyone, because we will submit them to many unnecessary tests.

When it takes a long time to figure out what is wrong with someone you know, it may not be that the physicians could not find the answer.

It may just be that the diagnosis was so unusual that it was not obvious at first. It may just have been a zebra galloping down that street.

Mayors show support for nutritional program

By Cathy Shufelt The Mayors of Seaford, Laurel, and Bridgeville met on Friday, March 23, at Pizza King in Seaford to sign proclamations in support of the Sussex Child Health Promotion Coalition’s 5-2-1-Almost None program. Over 60 organizations belong to the Sussex Child Health Promotion Coalition and they have partnered with Nemours Health and Prevention Services to help spread the word about the 5-2-1Almost None program. The main goal of the 5-2-1-Almost None program is to promote healthy lifestyles in our community’s youth as well as working to prevent early onset diabetes and obesity in children.

Many people have seen the 5-2-1-Almost None television commercials on local stations and children in the community have been singing the 5-2-1-Almost None song.

The 5 stands for the number of fruits and vegetables we should eat every day.

The 2 stands for limiting children to no more than 2 hours a day of television, videos, or internet use. The 1 stands for the amount of physical activity a child should have each day, and the Almost None stands for staying away from sugary, sweet soft drinks and other sweet, non-carbonated drinks. Instead children should drink more water, low fat milk or 100% juice (no added sugar) in limited amounts.

In making changes to a child’s diet, it is important to read product labels and familiarize yourself with the various kinds of sugars, preservatives, and artificial ingredients that may be in their favorite foods.

The Sussex Child Health Coalition is also working on programs which provide physical activities for local residents and have asked towns in the area to get involved. The Mayors and the coalition believe it is important to provide more space such as parks and walkways for families to use for recreation and exercise. Mayor Shwed of Laurel, Mayor Butler of Seaford, and Mayor Conaway of Bridgeville all spoke in support of the work being done by the coalition. They also spoke about their individual efforts in the local community to incorporate parks, walking trails, community walking groups, and other athletically focused programs to help local residents of all ages be healthier.

Mayor Shwed of Laurel spoke about plans for walkways along the water in Laurel as well as working with the Laurel Historical Society to create a historic walking trail in town linking various historical sites throughout the town. This would enable residents and visitors the opportunity to “exercise and learn” Shwed stated.

Mayor Conaway of Bridgeville spoke about plans for a lighted walking trail starting at Route 13A through the Bridgeville Cemetery to Cannon Street.

He also spoke about the walking trails already installed in the Heritage Shores community as well as plans by the developer for extending those trails farther North. When completed, the paved walking path will be approximately 3 miles long. New developments in the Bridgeville community have been designed with a “focus on walking instead of

driving” and include parks and other green space. The Town of Bridgeville is also creating a Parks and Recreation office which the town has never had before.

This new office will oversee a new sports complex with Little League Baseball fields as well as over 140 acres of preserved land which will have walking trails in the approximately 40 acres of wooded land contained on the larger parcel.

Seaford Mayor Ed Butler stated that “Seaford has a lot going on” and spoke about the City of Seaford’s involvement in the renovation of Soroptomist Park located behind the Curiosity Shop on Middleford Road. The first phase of the $4 million dollar renovation has been completed, and plans are being developed for a bandstand and pavilion by the water. Mayor Butler also stated that churches are getting involved in various health and fitness programs, the river walk along the Nanticoke River downtown is being used all the time, and events like Seaford’s Riverfest contain

activities such as canoeing and kayaking.

“It’s amazing how many kids are using the parks, even on a Sunday....Seaford is an exercise conscious city...” stated Butler.

Each of the communities participating in Friday’s press conference have committed time and resources to support the upcoming community walks being held March 31, in Seaford, Laurel, Bridgeville, and Georgetown.

Snapshots Reading frenzy at Dunbar School Sarah Taylor, a first grader at P. L. Dunbar School in Laurel, won the prize for reading the most books during the school’s Reading is Fundamental celebration. Left, she stands with her teacher, Kim Insley, and the principal at Dunbar School, Rich Gaskill. Sarah read the 299 books during the celebration.

ICE ARTIST - Jonathan Lizer of Seaford puts the final touches to an ice sculpture that he created for the Nanticoke Health Services Winter Gala “Puttin’ On The Glitz.” Lizer transformed a block of ice to a life size martini glass, especially for the gala.

Going nuts about safety

These two Dunbar Elementary students, Francisco and Maria Solis, will now travel more safely on the highway thanks to their new booster seats. Belt-positioning booster seats are for child passengers who have outgrown their child safety seats but have not reached the size to be properly protected by adult seat belts alone. When using booster seats correctly, children between 40 and 100 pounds (usually about 4 to 8 years old) are much safer than with seat belts alone. To have a car seat or booster checked for free, contact the Delaware Office of Highway Safety Sussex County Car Seat Fitting Station at 302-2331083.

Other students in the Laurel School District took part in the Reading is Fundamental Celebration. Top, Joey Wilder and his mom, Stacey, participate in Family Reading Day at P. L. Dunbar Elementary. Parents and family members were invited to share in some reading fun. Above left, North Laurel fourth grader Brian Story reads to Dunbar kindergarten students. Above, right, North Laurel third grader Kendrick McDaniel reads to Dunbar firstgrade students. Kendrick and Brian were guest readers as part of Dunbar’s Reading is Fundamental celebration.

RADIO STUDENT - Former South Korean radio personality Jane Kung takes a break from her weekly radio show recently at Delaware Technical & Community College in Georgetown. Kung is taking the college’s broadcasting course to learn the latest technology and stay active in the field.

First-ever football reunion Doing the Towns Together will be a great family affair LAUREL AND DELMAR SOCIALS Sarah Marie Trivits . 875-3672

A free sports card show, a silent auction, food, a first-ever reunion of Laurel Bulldog football teams from the past 70 years and a cow drop worth $2,500 to the lucky winner. Where else but in Laurel will all of this be going on this weekend?

All of these events will benefit the Laurel Alumni Association, an organization that constantly is at work securing funds for the many scholarships it presents to Laurel High-affiliated recipients each spring. The number of these awards increases every year, the end result of a dedicated group of people working together to make the scholarships possible.

This is the first year for the reunion of all Laurel High Bulldog former football players and should be quite something to be involved with.

The event will be this Saturday, March 31, with the sports card show and auction getting under way at 10 a.m. The football team reunion will be held at noon at the Laurel Middle School Field House and football field.

For many of us, attending this major Laurel event should be a very joyous occasion.

As in many other homes, life at the Barton household involved football for many years. We began when our sons were in the Little League football program and played on Saturdays at North Laurel Elementary School.

Those were the days before some of the fancy equipment of today’s players was available. A uniform consisted of a pair of wobbly shoulder pads, a helmet and shoes with rubber cleats, and of course, a young body willing to get beaten up on each Saturday. Some of the kids had mouth guards, some didn’t. One thing every single one of them had was a desire to play football and emulate their hero of the day, Johnny Unitas!

Many men gave of their time each Saturday and every evening after school to work with these young boys and watch them develop into fine young men. The coaches willingly gave of their time to develop not only playing skills, but principles of life in each of these young boys.

The parents rushed home from work, helped the coaches in any way they could and stood out on the North Laurel

Moments with Mike Virginia ‘Mike’ Barton field in every kind of weather imaginable to watch the kids play.

We parents became a united group, going from Little League football through high school, and then on to college for some of us. We developed into a rather hardy bunch and earned our gold stadium cushions.

The football event of the century this Saturday will mean that some of us will have an opportunity to see friends of our sons we haven’t seen in years. Some of these men are the same friends who spent sleepovers at our homes, sat at our tables and wolfed down whatever food was available in the unbelievable amounts that only a growing boy can consume.

Some of these men were unofficial family members, not only in our Barton household but also in other families in Laurel. We have chauffeured them all across the state, taken them to the beach, on family outings, been to their weddings, welcomed their newborns, and watched them develop into responsible men who now have grown sons and daughters.

Chuck and I have been involved in athletic events for our two sons since the days long before official registration and insurance and fancy uniforms and high dollar shoes were parts of the game.

We have sat through games played in blistering heat, rain, fog and even snow.

This is not a complaint, nor bragging.

We did it because we wanted to be supportive parents.

Saturday, beginning at 10 a.m., be sure to be at the Laurel Middle School Field House. Stay all day. Show your pride in whatever your involvement in the Bulldogs. Young, middle aged, older — these are our sons and their friends.

Just be there!

Strawberries and gardens information coming later on.

Another page has dropped from our calendars and presented up with spring.

The sweet fragrance of blossoms and blooms greet us as we open our doors, but, alas, a few not-so-fragrant aromas are mixed with the nicer ones. I don’t have to elaborate on what they are. However, a farmer once said, “It don’t smell bad to me, it smells like money.”

At this writing I’m asked to report that John Sturgis, who has recently suffered some illness, is home from Nanticoke Hospital. He reports he had excellent treatment and wishes to thank the staff for the care and kindness he received while there. Now, I’m sure that he will welcome calls and cards from his friends.

I ran into “my little red-headed checker,” Lois Carroll, at Food Lion last week and she seemed to be in a hurry to hit the exit. Later I learned that on that day, March 21, she had a birthday and her family had planned a small, quiet dinner to celebrate with her. Happy belated wishes, Lois.

Kimberly Lane of Wynantskill, N.Y., spent the past weekend with her parents, Bill and Becky Brittingham in Delmar.

On March 11, Betty Fitzgerald of Delmar suffered a fall at home and the injury, unfortunately for her, was a broken neck. At present she is a patient at Christiana Hospital, 4755 Ogletown Stanton Road, Room 17 I.C.U., Newark, DE. She can receive cards at this address. These communications will be a great boost to her morale. We wish her a very speedy recovery.

Michael and Debra Matalone of Gainsville, Va., spent the weekend in Bethel with Charlene and Darrell Meade.

The Meades entertained them with a family get together and dinner on Saturday evening.

Kim Kranz of Carpenter, Wyo., recently spent a week visiting her mother, Kaye Wellendorf in Delmar.

Friends of the Laurel Library met last week and after a brief business meeting discussed a project that they want to pass on to their readers. In observance of Na-

tional Library Week, which takes place in April, the friends group will be giving out bags of books. The giveaway will take place Saturday, April 21, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the library community room. As that time nears I will print another reminder for you.

I didn’t really go anywhere last week but did take a trip down memory lane with artists of the Artie Shaw orchestra under the current band leader, Dick Johnson (not Laurel’s Dick Johnson). These concerts are sponsored by the Seaford Community Concert Association and they offer five really wonderful ones during the season. This one played many good old tunes from my past years and there were excellent solos by instrumentalists. And oh, was that drummer something else! Love those concerts.

A very happy birthday is wished for his 91st year to George Phillips, March 31, with love from his daughters and grandchildren.

Dare I say that Donald M. Mitchell is celebrating his birthday of 60 years on March 30? There, Donald, I said it anyway.

A belated birthday wish to Rita Brex on March 22. All her children (her daughter and four sons) and their spouses were down for the weekend from northern New Jersey, along with her daughter and sonin-law, Tina and Jay Reaser of Laurel, and their three children and five grandchildren.

She had a house full and all had a great time together. In fact, I heard they may make this a yearly tradition.

We express our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Paul F. Wieland, Robert J. Riggin, Dorothy Johnson, Eileen B. Hastings and Vaughn R. Hearn Jr. We continue with prayers for those who are ill: Ralph Baker, Richard Cordrey, Marie Adams, John Sturgis, Blanche Elliott, Hattie Puckham, Terry Layton, Lily Brittingham, Gerald Brown, Steve Trivits and Kelly Griffith.

“If you’re not afraid to face the music, someday you may lead the band.”

See you in the Stars.

New faces at the Star Readers may have noticed that some new names are appearing in the Star newspapers.

Let me start with the new names. An occasional byline and photo credit has appeared with the last name Richardson.

My youngest son, Daniel, and his wife, Cassie, have started to work for Morning Star Publications. Daniel primarily works in Editorial processing the hundreds of emails we receive weekly.

A year ago the technology would not have allowed us to keep up with the increased demand, but the newer technology that we had installed late in 2006 is much faster. Simple tasks of saving text and photos to the desktop for processing in some cases took minutes. Now the same process can be completed in the blink of an eye.

Cassie is also doing photography, but also is training in all the other departments. She is an artist and her talents will be used to help us improve the design of the newspapers.

Readers may also notice the name Donna Dukes-Huston appearing more frequently. I noticed Donna’s professionalism in submitting news releases for local organizations and invited her to become a contributing writer for feature articles.

Another name that is appearing more frequently is that of Cathy Shufelt. Cathy covers Woodbridge School Board and Blades Town Council in addition to submitting feature articles.

Elaine Schneider is relatively new to the staff also. She helps edit and process copy and photos, does some rewriting and page layout.

All of the new talent joins the wealth of

State Treasurer Issues Alert

Protect your finances from predatory lenders

BRYANT RICHARDSON

One addition coming this summer will delight some readers but may frighten others. talent already working hard to put out the Seaford and Laurel Star newspapers, our monthly business magazines and special interest periodicals.

Plans are to improve the quality of the content of all our publications by reducing errors and adding features.

One addition coming this summer will delight some readers but may frighten others. Just when you thought it was safe to read the newspaper again, Frank Calio is returning and this time he will not have to pull any punches. Frank promises to be fair, but if you’re on the wrong side of an issue, be afraid.

Final note: A well written letter was received by the paper this week, but it was not signed. Our policy has always been that letters must be signed. If “Offended in Sussex County” will add a name to their letter, we will be glad to run it.

Remember, when the signers of the Declaration of Independence added their names to the list, they knew that their actions could cost them everything they own and maybe even their lives, yet they had the courage to sign their names. We hope you will add a name (and phone number) to the letter so we can run it.

As the problem of subprime lenders takes the center stage in Washington D.C., Jack Markell, Delaware's State Treasurer reminds Delawareans to remain vigilant by taking proactive steps to avoid falling victim to predatory lenders.

"When taking out a loan or getting a credit card the devil really is in the details," Markell said.

"The hidden costs in fine print can not only derail budgets, but can have severe impact on your financial future. Until there are real reforms in place to put a stop to predatory lending, consumers must remain alert when applying for and receiving loans."

The term subprime lending (also called non-prime, special finance and second chance lending) is generally used to describe a particular lending market sector.

Typically, these customers are those who don't qualify for prime market rates because of blemished or limited credit histories. Subprime customers are then charged a higher interest rate to compensate for the increased rate should they default on their loans.

Subprime customers are generally defined as individuals with limited incomes or a credit score below 620 on a scale between 300 and 850.

Mary Dupont, executive director of Nehemiah Gateway Community Development Corporation, added, "We hear horror stories every week of our neighbors receiving these loans that they never could repay.

From refund anticipation loans to unscrupulous used car dealers, people end up paying much more in interest than in principal."

Markell says to follow these tips Avoid the Flash. Flashy ads on television and high-pressure telemarketers often offer fast and easy loans without disclosing all of the details. Remember your parent's wisdom..." If it's too good to be true - it usually is."

Annually check your credit reports and scores. Every year check with the three primary credit bureaus (Equifax 80/685-1111; Experian 888/397-3742 and TransUnion 800/916-8800 or visit www.annualcreditreport.com.

Consumer Report credit history before you begin looking for a loan. Your history and score directly affect your rate, and the better your credit score, the better your rate.

If you need credit repair or help seek out a non-profit. Their only business is to help you. Call the Delaware Help Line at 800-464-4357 and ask for information about housing counseling to locate help near you.

Do your homework. Don't trust that lenders to tell you that they are trustworthy - check with the Better Business Bureau by calling your local chapter or by visiting www.bbb.org to check if there have been any complaints filed against the lender.

Ask questions. If you don't understand the specifics of the deal, ask as many questions as necessary until you do. Remember, it's your financial future on the line.

Shop around. Contact both lenders and mortgage brokers who offer credit directly. Tell them your score and ask for the interest rate along with an estimate of all fees you might be charged including lender points.

Compare the total cost. Mortgages include fees and other costs in addition to the monthly payment - make sure that you compare the finial tally so you don't wind up paying more in the end.

Read the fine print, and then read it again. Verify that what you are signing is what you have verbally agreed to.

Don't sign anything that doesn't agree with what the salesperson presented.

Think it over thoroughly. You don't have to take the first loan that you are offered. Take the time to think things over and ask for help from someone you trust if you need to. Again, don't give in to fast-talking, high pressure sales pitches.

Share your story. If you've been the victim of predatory lending, let others know about your experience. Call the Delaware Attorney General's Office Fraud & Consumer Protection Division toll-free 800-220-5454 and also report your experience to the consumer counselors at the Federal Trade Commission at 877-382-4357.

The moon, and its relative distance to the Earth, affects tides on a monthly basis. When the moon is farthest from the Earth (apogee), tides of decreased range or currents of decreased speed occur.

When the moon is closest to the Earth (perigee), the occurrence of increased range or currents of speed is more prevalent.
