Teacher of the Year announced

By Pat Murphy 2010 Laurel Teacher Of The Year Andrea Sullenberger or “Andi” as she is known by her many friends and acquaintances is a story of a career chase that ended up back in Laurel where she started it. “I wanted to stay here; a lot of it came from the teachers who taught me” said Sullenberger.

Sullenberger is a 1995 Laurel High School graduate. Her parents are Gene Sullenberger and Nina Carmean. Sullenberger said her parents gave her strong support all the way through school. She also has great respect for her grandparents Gene and Mary Sullenberger who attended nearly all the school activities she was involved

in. Sullenberger played softball and hockey in school and her memories of those days are many. “I enjoyed field hockey with Bonnie, (Bryan) and I played softball for Margo Morris. Sulllenberger played in the 1995 Blue Gold hockey game. Sullenberger was continued on page 5

Delmar Joint Commission discusses lawsuit By Mike McClure The Delmar Joint Council discussed a pending lawsuit involving the Lecates building located in the downtown area on the Delaware side. The Delmar (DE) Council voted, 5-0, to join Chris Mills in a lawsuit seeking to get an easement on the property so he can move forward with renovations to the building.

The Council also discussed its current meeting schedule which includes a joint council meeting as well as council and commission meetings each month. Mills told the Council he has been in the process of purchasing the Lecates building, located on the corner of State Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, since 2002. “This is an ongoing thing,” Mills said.

Mills has run into problems due to a strip of land located in the rear of the property. He asked the Council for help in securing the land behind the building while leaving an easement. The Delmar, Md. resident told the Council he was first approached about purchasing the building, which is in bad need of repairs, in 2002 and came to an continued on page 4

agreement to purchase it. Since then there has has been some disagreement over the land behind the building, which neighboring building owners use for ingress and egress. Mills said he proposed a 4 foot walkway and later offered a 5 foot easement with a handicap accessible walkway. In 2007, Mills said he left it up to the mayor to come up with a fair easement and the consensus was 9 feet, but one of the property owners did not agree to the proposal. Delmar Mayor John Outten said part of the problem is that the state owns a little strip of the property in question. He suggested notifying the state and having it resolve the problem. Delmar Town Manager Sara BynumKing said each time the parties go to the table they leave thinking they have the issue resolved. She gave three recommendations from the town’s attorney: using imminent domain over the alley, imminent domain over the building to condemn it, or the town could seek an easement by joining parties with Mills in a lawsuit. The Council voted, 5-0, to join Mills in the suit to get the issue resolved. The Council also

agreed to a 10’ easement for egress/ingress in the alleyway behind the building. The Joint Council also revisited the issue of having both joint council meetings and individual meeting. The town recently went back to having three meetings a month (one Delaware Council, one Maryland Commission, and one Joint Council) after having just one meeting a month. Councilwoman Mary Lee Pase said she liked having a Delmar (DE) Council meeting because it allowed the Council to discuss business and be finished within an hour. “I feel that we get more accomplished by having our single meetings for Maryland and Delaware,” Pase said. Commissioner Carl Anderton and Delmar (Md.) Mayor Doug Niblett said they liked having both meetings. “For Delmar we still need to come together once a month and discuss Delmar things,” said Niblett. Bynum-King pointed out that the committee reports were being repeated at the individual and joint meetings. The consensus of the Council was to include the reports at the joint council meetings, but to only discuss the Planning and Zoning report at those meetings

(because planning and zoning affects both sides of the town). The Joint Council agreed to go back to having just the joint council meetings each month with the individual meetings to be held as needed. This new schedule will start with the July 30 meeting, which is the first meeting of the new fiscal year. The Council and Commission each voted to approve the first reading of the town’s budget. According to BynumKing, the town’s proposed total budget is

$10,862,845 ($2,943,343 for Maryland, $1,878,814 for Delaware, and $6,040,688 for utility). The Council declined a request from the Delmar Education Association to host a forum for the upcoming school board elected. The association asked the town to host the event with elected officials serving as moderators. At the beginning of the meeting the town’s new police canine, Aron, was introduced and sworn in.

After graduation Andrea was offered a kindergarten special education position in a co-teaching room. This is a program split between two rooms. The following year she moved to the preschool program where she has been for three years. Sullenberger was introduced by Dawn Williams. Other candidates were Teri Stone of North Laurel Elementary who was introduced by Jenny Beck. Beck used the students description of their teacher that brought humorous remarks to the audience. Stone was described as entertaining, compassionate, lovable, skinny, generous and one student who said she

was the love of his life except when he did not do his homework. Stone is a 2nd grade teacher and has been at Laurel for ten years. She received her education from Shippensburg College and Masters from Wilmington College. Susan Cormier was introduced by Catina Goff who described her as a fun person.

She is also an avid Bluegrass “picker” and loves to go out with her metal detector to search for treasures. Katherine Livingston is a Laurel Middle School Math teacher.

Business Allen’s names president and CEO

Charles C. Allen, III, chairman of Allen Family Foods, Inc., announces that Robert (Bob) Turley joined the 90-year-old Seaford-based company on May 5 as president and Chief Executive Officer. “Bob is an experienced and well Bob Turley known veteran to the poultry industry and we look forward to having him lead our company,” said Allen. Growing up on a family farm in Southeast Missouri, Turley has known poultry his entire life. He graduated from Southeast Missouri University earning a dual degree in Biological Science and Management. He went on to further his education at the University of California and Harvard University in the graduate program. Turley began his career as president and general manager of Carolina Turkeys before joining Perdue Farms as their president and Chief Operating Officer and as a member of their Board of Directors. He remained at Perdue until his retirement in March of 2008. Turley resides in Salisbury with his wife, Shirley. They enjoy spending time with their four grown children and six grandchildren. His priorities include family, work and friends.

CORRECTION

A story that appeared in the April 30 editions of the Seaford Star and Laurel Star incorrectly identified the company that recently sponsored a training session with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on new federal regulations for chicken growers. The Seaford-based company is Allen’s Hatchery. The story also did not make it clear that none of the pictures of possible runoff problems that were shown by an EPA representative during the training session were of farms that are owned by Allen’s or by farmers who grow for Allen’s. The pictures were representative shots of problems that the EPA had found on farms. We regret the errors.

INVISTA names site manager

Steve Kimpton, an INVISTA executive currently serving as operations leader at Seaford, will become site manager of INVISTA’s Seaford facility, effective May 15. “Kimpton’s operations and business experience and demonstrated management capabilities have positioned him well to assume leadership of the Seaford site with its new focused mission of producing nylon staple fiber for technical applications such as military apparel, conveyer belts used in paper manufacturing, and other specialty products,” said Ben Melnyczuk, vice president of operations, INVISTA Performance Surfaces & Materials and INVISTA Polymer & Resins. Gary Knight, the current site manager, has accepted the role of director of operations optimization for INVISTA Performance Surfaces & Materials and operations lead for the Performance Materials business. “I am confident that Gary will continue to add significant value for INVISTA in his new role,” said Melnyczuk. Kimpton earned a bachelor of science in chemical engineering from Iowa State University in 1981. Prior to his recent role as operations leader at Seaford, Kimpton has held various technical, engineering, and operations roles of increasing responsibility at the company’s locations in Seaford, Waynesboro, Va., Chattanooga, Tenn., Wilmington, and Ponca City, Okla. Kimpton and his wife, Kathryn, have four children. He serves on the board of Kent-Sussex Industries, a charitable organization that creates job opportunities for physically and mentally challenged.

Geddes named manager

Richard Geddes has been named store manager at the Tractor Supply Company store in Seaford that is under construction.

Geddes joined Tractor Supply Company as a manager trainee in Westminster, Md., in 2008. Before joining Tractor Supply Company, he worked as a zone manager at Lowes for three years, and served as a state policeman for more than 20 years.

Laurel attack will be featured on ‘Forensic Files’ The ‘Forensic Files’

episode filmed locally is scheduled to air on Fri-

day, May 22, at 10 p.m. By Tony E. Windsor

Last August, cameras from the truTV cable television show “Forensic Files” came to western Sussex County to film an episode. The subject of the shoot was the September 1995 violent attack of Brenda Kaye Robinson in her Laurel mobile home. According to producers of Forensic Files, the episode is scheduled to air on Friday, May 22, at 10 p.m. Titled, “Smiley Face,” the episode is being heralded by Forensic Files’ editors as “one of the Top 10 in Forensic Files history.” In promoting the episode on its website, producers of “Forensic Files” describe the upcoming episode: “In ‘Smiley Face’ a nighttime intruder viciously assaults and stabs a woman in her Delaware home, but she miraculously lives to tell her story. The suspicious behavior of a local man has everyone, including the victim, convinced the case has been solved… until forensic evidence turns the investigation on its head. It takes years and a similar crime

in a different state to gather the evidence needed to put a serial rapist behind bars.” The recount of the Robinson attack is one of two new episodes being introduced by the Forensic Files show in May, which along with November, is typically one of television’s two “sweep months.” When the camera crews came to Delaware last year, they interviewed Robinson, who is a Seaford insurance agent, extensively for the show. They were even able to gain permission from the owners of the Laurel Village mobile home where she lived when the attack occurred in 1995 to film re-enactments of the crime. The real life horror In the real life incident, Robinson suffered a horrific attack which left her close to death. In the years following the attack she was forced to live under a cloud of uncertainty. Early in the case, police arrested a Prince George’s County, Md. man for the brutal crime. However, he was eventually released from prison after DNA evidence showed no connection to the crime. In September 2005, 10 years after the crime occurred, Mark R. Eskridge, then 46, of Laurel, who was serving a life sentence in Cambridge, Md., for a rape in 2002, was found to be guilty of Robinson’s 1995 attack. “Forensic Files” is a documentary-style television show that shows how science can be used to help solve crimes.

When she walked out

of her bedroom into the

kitchen she saw the man crouched on the floor with a knife.

According to Chip Selby, a producer for the show, each episode profiles a single case, from the discovery of a crime, through the police investigation, forensic analysis of the evidence, arrest and trial. He said the stories are told through a series of on-camera interviews with people involved in the case. “We also show the forensic experts demonstrating their scientific work they provided to help solve the case,” he said. It was while filming another episode of “Forensic Files” in the Harrington area last year that producers learned about the Robinson case. The show was investigating the 1991 murder of Dorothy Donavan that went unsolved until DNA evidence led to an arrest in April 2008. The camera crews from the show were having lunch with Delaware State Police detectives while filming the Donavon episode and were told about the Robinson case and the role DNA played in solving it. Producers felt the case was a perfect fit

for the type of show that Forensic Files investigates and after talking with Robinson, pitched the show to the network and moved forward with scheduling interviews. During the time of the filming Robinson said she was surprised when she was contacted by Forensic Files, because she was not aware of any activity surrounding her case since the 2005 arrest of Mark Eskridge. “I appreciate any opportunity to use my case as a way to help make people aware,” she said. “I faced an attack that came out of nowhere and from someone that I did not know. I think it is important that people realize how important it is to be aware of your surroundings and take precautions to try and stay safe. I spent 13 years totally uncertain of anything until police made the arrest in 2005.” The nightmare begins Robinson’s nightmare began in the early morning hours of Sept. 19, 2005 when she was awoken by a knock on the door of her Laurel Village Mobile Home park residence. She went to the door and standing on her tip-toes to look through a window on the door, she saw a man standing on her doorstep who said he would like to use her telephone. After offering to make a call for the man, rather than let him in the house, the man walked away. Robinson notified po-

MORNING STAR • MAy 7 - 13, 2009 lice about the suspicious man, but when police arrived there was no sign of him. She went back to bed but a short time later was awoken again, this time by the sound of a slamming door. When she walked out of her bedroom into the kitchen area of her home she saw the man crouched on the floor with a knife. For the next four hours Robinson was brutally tortured as her then 13-year-old son lay sleeping in the next room. Stabbed repeatedly and beaten, Robinson finally collapsed to the floor and after saying the “Lord’s Prayer,” made’ a last ditch attempt to save her life by acting as though she were dead. Thinking he had killed his victim, the man fled the home and Robinson’s son went and got help from neighbors. “I thought after this happened that I would never feel safe again,” she said. “But, in time, I was able to take the initiative to do things, such as self defense and firearms classes, to equip myself with a stronger sense of confidence. I feel I am much better now.” Robinson is now working on a book about her ordeal and the efforts she has made to attempt recovery. She hopes to find a publisher for the book in the near future. The interviews For the Robinson case Forensic Files’ production crews filmed in Seaford, Georgetown and Laurel, Delaware and Salisbury and Cambridge, Md. Filming started at the office of Morning Star Publications, publisher of the Seaford and Laurel Star newspapers. The newspapers were heavily involved in covering the Robinson case throughout the years following the attack. Delaware State Police involved in the investigation, including Doug Hudson and Rob Hudson, were filmed in interviews at Court

4, Georgetown and Robinson herself was filmed in a motel in Salisbury. Crews were also making plans to interview former Sussex County lead prosecutor, James Adkins, of the Delaware Attorney General’s Office, who has since retired. According to show producers, the Robinson case was solved utilizing law enforcement’s newest forensic tool known as CODIS (Combined DNA Index System). The national data base includes DNA evidence from felony suspects, as well as DNA samples retrieved from crime scenes. The CODIS data base enables police to input a suspect’s DNA to check for possible connections to other crimes, such as the case with Elkridge’s involvement in the Robinson attack. The data base will first check locally and then enhance the search to nationwide. The tool has enabled law enforcement to resolve violent crime cases that have been “cold case” files for as long as 10 and 20 years. Forensic Files is produced by Medstar Television, Inc. and airs on truTV, which is featured on the Comcast Cable Television lineup. As the first and only cable network dedicated to crime and justice, truTV broadcasts live trials by day and crime stories in the evening.

Laurel Chamber Spotlight Allison Cherry

By Pat Murphy Allison Cherry, commercial and personal account executive at Avery Hall Insurance Agency, was the guest speaker at the Laurel Chamber of Commerce Annual Administrative Day on Wednesday, April 22, at the Georgia House Restaurant in Laurel. The Cherry family moved to Laurel in 1984 when Allison was 10-years-old. As a teen, Cherry gained job experience at Wood’s Restaurant, all the while being home schooled. Soon after, her mom and dad, Jim and Sue Cherry, opened a coffee shop, “The Cherry Tree” in Laurel’s new Laureltowne, where Allison gained experience in meeting and interacting with people. She attended Ocean County College in New Jersey, knowing her career goal was to go into a field working with the public. At age 22, Cherry wrote her first resume and it resulted in a position as director of sales with Comfort Inn. After this, she took a position with The Leader and State Register in Seaford selling auto ads. She then accepted a position as a sales representative for Hampton Inn in Fredricksburg, Va. Still searching for her niche, Cherry went back to New Jersey to work for a

company that produced a popular wedding planner. Cherry was still unsure this was where she wanted to be. Cherry listed loss of esteem, fear of rejection and the fact that persevering does not come naturally, as obstacles to her having a successful career. Cherry, with the obstacles to success on her mind, went to Chicago, where she obtained her license to sell insurance. Cherry stayed cherry in the Midwest for five years in the insurance field, but there was something still missing. It was her family — admitted Cherry as she said, “My priorities changed.” She soon came back to Delaware and got her job with Avery Hall where she is very happy today. Cherry told the audience that her success came from four things; turn to God, say something positive about yourself, take risks, and believe you can overcome all obstacles. Sponsors of the annual event were A&K Enterprises, Accurate Optical, County Bank, Bank of Delmarva, Delaware National, K&P Pampered Hands and Feet, Kitty’s Flowers, The Car Store and Whayland Construction, who gave all guests a rose in a vase.

Laurel Chamber Spotlight Greg Johnson

Second in a series featuring members of the Laurel Chamber of Commerce

By Pat Murphy Greg Johnson, president of CAP Management is a lifelong resident of Laurel, graduating from Laurel High School with the class of 1974. He attended the University of Delaware for two years before starting out on a very successful business career. Johnson under the umbrella company name CAP Management, owns The Car Store which has two locations. It is the largest independent non-franchise dealer south of Wilmington. Johnson with his partner Ed Wilgus also own the Delmar Auto Acceptance Corporation, Atlantic Financial, Blue Hen Wholesale, Wye River Foods, Cash Advance, and Chesapeake Designs, in which he is a partner with Warren Reid. In 1975, Johnson went to work for the Pennsylvania Railroad. He was making $15 an hour, did not have to work very hard and had a lifetime job ahead of him if he chose to remain, but Johnson was not happy with this job that left few decisions in his hands. “I hope I never have another job I dislike as much as I did this,” said Johnson. Johnson soon joined Farm Family Insurance where he worked one year and it was off to Chicago for this 21-year-old kid, where Johnson said, “I expanded my horizon.” He was gone from home 200 nights a year, living in a hotel from place-to-place

for between four and five years. After this period of time with home looking dearer to him he came back and bought an interest in Fowler and Williams Insurance in Laurel. In his three years with Fowler and Williams sales tripled. Johnson soon heard about and met “this super-duper guy” in Salisbury named Ed Wilgus who was also in the insurance business but also many other businesses too. Within a year Johnson sold his interest in Fowler and Williams, now The Insurance Market. Soon after he started The Car Store followed by a long list of business enterprises. Johnson had several tips to business success that have worked well for him saying, “The worst mistake is to be in business and not know your numbers.” Here are Johnson’s business tips: • Don’t expect what Johnson you don’t inspect. • Find people who are doing their business well, ask questions, learn from them. • Ask older people in life questions as they give you experiences. • Give back. • No matter what you make, spend less and work hard. • Set a good example. Johnson is married and he and his wife Carla have four grown children. Next months speaker in the “Successful Business People” series will be Jeff Banning of Trinity Transport.

Historic Henry’s - The historic Henry’s General Store, west of Laurel, will again be open for visitors on May 16, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visitors to Laurel’s Strawberry Festival as well as returning Laurel High School Alumni are encouraged to visit this time capsule of life in Western Sussex. Descendants of the original owners have for several years opened the store to area residents as a chance to revisit the olden-days of the farmers and the general stores of the 1930s. Eleanor Henry, will be on hand to explain the uses of the antique equipment and to share reminisces with visitors. She enjoys greeting guests and talking with old friends. Some are the very farmers who frequented the store years ago, and some are young people who have little knowledge of what life was like before the 1950s. When the store was closed several years ago at the death of the senior Henrys, the doors were closed and for the most part the interior was left just as it was that last day. Since that time the current owners have added a few pieces to recreate the scene, so that today it feels like Depression years upon entering the store. The store is located 3 miles west of Laurel on Rt. 24 west.

U of D students visit Emeca to see pile driving demonstration

By Lynn R. Parks When Michael Jahnigen held a demonstration of the Finnish-built pile driving machine that he sells, Chris Meehan, a civil engineering professor at the University of Delaware, brought his graduate students to Laurel to watch. “This is a chance for them to see new technology in action,” said Meehan, whose specialty is geothermal construction. “We have studied pile driving, but none of my students had seen it done. I wanted to show them how the real world works.” The demonstration was held Friday as part of an open house at Jahnigen’s business, Emeca/SPEusa, on 10th Street in Laurel. The owner of Sun Marine, a piledriving business in Bethany Beach that he opened in 1974, Jahnigen opened Emeca last year. At Emeca, Jahnigen sells Junttan pile drivers. He also manufactures steel joints that hold together concrete pilings. Using the joints means that the pilings can be manufactured and shipped in several pieces, cutting down on transportation and manufacturing costs. They also mean that concrete pilings are a viable alternative to more expensive steel pilings. Jahnigen told a crowd of about 50 people that the benefits of his new pile-driving system all boil down to money. “You get more efficiency all the way down the line,” he said. “You can use

smaller equipment, you can drive smaller piles, you have fuel efficiency, you can use fewer employees, it is a cleaner technology. But at the end of the day, all this means that it saves the customer dollars.” He had no criticism for steel pilings. “This country was built on a lot of steel,” he said. “But steel costs three times the price of concrete.” In his demonstration, Jahnigen used a Junttan pile driver to put two concrete pilings, a 40-foot one on top of a 25-foot one, into the ground next door to his shop. Each piling had on one end half of an Emeca-made steel joint. Tabs on one joint slid into holes in the other joint; when the tabs were slotted together, workers with Emeca pounded steel pegs into holes in the concrete to hold the tabs in place. “Before, there was no way to join concrete pilings,” Jahnigen told the crowd. “Now, we can join them.” John Ryan, owner of Ryan Structural Engineering in Charleston, S.C., and a consultant for Emeca, said that the building world is slowly coming to accept the idea of concrete pilings joined together with steel. He is working with public and private construction interests to sell the concept; most recently, he met with representatives of the Army Corps of Engineers to try to convince them to use the jointed concrete pilings in rebuilding levees in New Orleans. “They are very interested,” he said.

Friday’s open house also focused on Emeca’s building, constructed by Southern Builders in Salisbury, Md. The building has several “green” features, including energy-saving radiant heat and underground cisterns to hold collected rainwater. The water is used for irrigation of the property. The building also has high windows to supply natural light. Its floors are made

Laurel takes action to free up capacity at waste water plant By Tony E. Windsor The Town of Laurel is hoping to expand capacity at its municipal waste water treatment plant to help meet the needs created through recent development projects. During the Monday, May 4, meeting of Laurel Mayor and Council, Town Manager Bill Fasano presented a plan to the council which outlines ways to gain as much as 131,000 gallons per day sewer capacity. Fasano said the Town of Laurel met with representatives from the Delaware Office of Planning to discuss the current dedicated capacity at the waste water treatment plant. He said that each time a development is approved in Laurel the proposal is sent to the Office of Planning to be reviewed and earmarked for dedicated sewer capacity; this assures that completed development projects will have necessary waste water treatment plant capacity. The state Office of Planning also records the amount of sewer capacity assigned to each development to assure

that the town does not over dedicate sewer space. Currently, we are running at about one-half capacity at the sewer plant,” Fasano said. “This allows us plenty of capacity to meet the future demands of scheduled development. However, on paper it shows that we are running out of capacity because we have over allocated.” Fasano said at the meeting with the State Office of Planning, a review was done to see how many development projects are being earmarked for sewer capacity. It was determined that at present, the town of Laurel has over-allocated the treatment plant by as much as 38,000 gallons per day. He said it was then determined how much of this capacity was dedicated to projects which have shown no progress forward for as much as 25 months, which is the limit given for sewer allocations without having shown local government any specific site development plans. Fasano recommended to the Laurel Council that five projects being allocated sewer capacity be removed and that capacity freed up for future planned

development. The five projects include the “Broad Creek Campgrounds project which has been allocated 68,500 gallons per day; development of the O’Neal property, which is allocated 3,750 gallons per day; the former Horsey “Discovery” project which was allocated 21,000 gallons per day; the Whaley property, with allocations of 37,500 gallons per day and the Brittingham project, allocated 500 gallons per day. Together these projects total a capacity dedication at the waste water plant of $131,250 gallons per day. Fasano asked that the council pass a motion to remove the sewer capacity dedication for these projects which have no site plan in process, with the stipulation that the Town work with the property owners to seek a re-dedication of reasonable sewer capacity should any of them come to the town with site plans. The council unanimously approved the removal of the sewer capacity dedicated to the five projects, with Councilman Don Phillips and Councilwoman Robin Fisher absent from the meeting.

Coalition of Country Clubs extending benefits By Carol Kinsley

Membership in Seaford Golf and Country Club became an even better bargain on May 1 with the formation of a “Coalition of Country Clubs” that encompasses Seaford, Sussex Pines Country Club in Georgetown, Green Hill Yacht & Country Club in Salisbury and Caroline Country Club in Denton. Membership in one club now entitles the member to all the privileges of any of the four clubs, from playing golf or tennis, to cooling off in the pool or enjoying a nice dinner. The coalition gives a “whole new dimension” to membership in a club on the Eastern Shore, said Charles Butler, president of Seaford Golf and Country Club. “I’ve been a club member for more than 40 years, and now I can play three additional courses without ad-

ditional cost. We’re able to offer more bang for the buck.” Charlie Skipper of Caroline Country Club explained the idea came about four or five years ago. By cooperating and perhaps sharing in ownership of expensive equipment or bulk purchases, each club might experience savings, he said. “With the economy on the down slope, it has been difficult to get young members,” he noted. Bob Wilson, president of Green Hill, said the biggest selling point was being able to offer a place to play golf, especially when a tournament is scheduled. “I’ve talked to some of our members,” he said, “and they look forward to playing clubs they haven’t played before.” Bud Townsend of Sussex Pines said all of the clubs are close enough to make a golf outing a nice day trip, and members

Looking on are Tom Love, membership director, Sussex Pines; Pattie Kretchmer, general manager Seaford; and Benny Peta, general manager, Sussex Pines. As of May 1, members of any of these clubs have full privileges at all four clubs. Photo by Carol Kinsley

will enjoy the camaraderie at other clubs. “Our members love it. The motion was unanimously and quickly approved by the board. The members would like to see inter-club and competitive play. With the present economy, Townsend added, “This is my 52-week vacation. If I went on

SEARS HELPING KIDS. Seaford Sear’s Store General Manager, Dave Elzey, (right) presents a check to Tony Windsor of Boys & Girls Clubs of Delaware. The contribution is in support of the Boys & Girls Club of Western Sussex County’s “Send a Kid to Camp” project. Sears held its annual “Family and Friends Night” customer appreciation event on Sunday, May 2 in the Seaford Village Shopping Center. Tony Windsor performed music in front of the store during the event as part of the Boys & Girls Club’s “Parking Lot Tour to Send a Kid to Camp,” campaign. The special fundraiser is being sponsored by Morning Star Publications in conjunction with the Boys & Girls Club at Western Sussex, in an effort to help raise money to send youth to the Boys & Girls Club’s “Summer Fun Clubs” in Seaford and Laurel. For information about having Tony Windsor perform at your business as part of the “Parking Lot Tour,” contact Maria Motley at 628-3789. Photo courtesy of Sears of Seaford.

a cruise, I’d spend as much on a few days as I spend for a full year at my club.” Townsend did not expect to find it more difficult to schedule a tee time. “I find when folks travel, they go later. The home club ‘dew busters’ go early.” Betty Wilbanks, a member

at Seaford since the late ‘60s, said, “While we always have fun playing at our home club, we are equally excited about playing at other clubs, now on a more frequent basis, and meeting other members there.” Wilbanks said she enjoys using all the facilities at the country club.

early 1950 graduate who has written several books about several governors and political figures including Gov. Elbert Carvel. Now another one who has just produced his second religious book is Pastor Bobby Goff who has written â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nuggets of Truth,â&#x20AC;? 15 Practical Nuggets for all ages. His first book was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Meagan, If I Were Young Again.â&#x20AC;? You may order either book by contacting Bobby at Goffra@bellsouth. net or 1509 Grandview Drive Nashville, Tenn. The books are only $5 each plus postage. Let me know of others, folks. Courtney Hastings, recently crowned the New Miss Laurel, is no stranger to the stage. She was a contestant in the annual 4th of July talent contest several times and several years ago she was Little Miss Laurel. Her grandfather, the late Fred Matthews was instrumental in bringing the Miss Laurel Pageant through the Exchange Club to Laurel around 1952 or so. Fred was a member of the Salisbury club so he helped start the Laurel Exchange Club. They have been an active part of Laurel ever since. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Laurel Teacher of the Yearâ&#x20AC;? was announced at the end of the year Recognition Reception. Of course if you read the front of the Laurel paper you recognized that it is Andrea Sullenberger a 1995 Laurel graduate. Congratulations Andrea! The school with the tough eco-

nomic times chose to have the reception at the high school cafeteria and it turned out to be an excellent idea. First off lets thank our cafeteria workers at the high school on a wonderful job with the food. They take a back seat to no one. Adding to the school flavor were the table plants done by Karen Parrottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Floriculture class and Andy Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Nealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Agriculture Structures class made the tables and made them Bulldog Red. A great job by many in Laurel School and a good day for Laurel education. The Teacher of the Year award began in Laurel in 1971 and Eleanor Williamson a well remembered English teacher won it the first two years. Over the years several Laurel graduates have received it. Andrea Sullenberger said from her earliest days, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to stay here.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to hear this from our young people. Congratulations again Andrea. The Merry month of May has barely started and there is so much going on. Coming up is the Laurel Strawberry Festival, the Laurel Alumni Banquet, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Nealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Antiques Anniversary Celebration, graduation and on May 16 Blades Fire Department will be celebrating 75 years of service to the community. This, like all our volunteers, is a dedicated group and they proved it to me first hand several weeks ago in their immediate response to my momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs. We will be hearing more on this heroic group soon! Have a good week everyone.

In Memory of

Vernon “Peanut” Sellers Nov. 13, 1931- May 4, 2007

God looked around His garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon His earth and saw your loving face. He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest. His Garden must be beautiful , because He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain. And knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw your path was difficult, He closed your tired eyes, He whispered to you “Peace be Thine” and gave you wings to fly. When we saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain, We would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again. You’ve left us precious memories, your love will be our guide, You live on through your children and grandchildren, you’re always by our side. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you on the day God called you home.

Love Jane, Phil, Kendra, Steve, Kelly, Matthew and Andrew

Herbert E. Stouffer, 87

Entertainment Servicemen will be honored at Choral Society Concert, May 16 “Someone once said that the dominant feeling on the battlefield is loneliness. The other emotions are fear and exhaustion. Simply put, you are always afraid and you are always tired.” So begins an e-mail message that Col. Matthew Bogdanos, USMC sent out to family and friends. This excerpt is one of 11 readings of poems and letters that will be interspersed throughout the Southern Delaware Choral Society’s spring concert featuring the works of Haydn.

The concert is at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 16, at Epworth United Methodist Church on Holland Glade Road in Rehoboth Beach.While planning the concert, the SDCS envisioned weaving a patriotic theme through the program. The date for the performance was chosen because it is Armed Forces Day. The day was created in 1949, and was a result of the consolidation of the military services in the Department of Defense. The purpose of Armed Forces day is to honor Americans serving

in the five services - the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force and Coast Guard. In order to reach out to current and retired members of the armed forces and encourage them to attend the concert, the SDCS is offering a limited number of complimentary tickets. Those tickets are available by calling Jack Emery at 302827-2547. Under the direction of John Ranney, the concert will feature Haydn’s “Mass in Time of War,” including the “Te Deum” and the “Lord Nelson Mass.”

McCall to perform at May concert Soprano Meghan McCall will be among four guest soloists joining the Southern Delaware Choral society for their spring concert featuring the works of Haydn. The concert will be a celebration of the 200th anniversary of his death and will be held on Saturday, May 16, at Epworth United Methodist Church on Holland Glade Road in Rehoboth Beach, at 7:30 p.m. Downstate Delaware and the Maryland Eastern Shore audiences will be familiar with Meghan McCall’s clear, bell-like soprano voice from her concerts in 2008 and 2007 with the Southern Dela-

ware Choral Society and the Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra. In between the parts of the two masses, letters will be read to the audience from soldiers who have served, or are currently serving, in Iraq or Afghanistan. Tickets are $20 for adults and $8 for students. A limited number of complimentary tickets are available to current and retired members of our Armed Forces.

our water boarding techniques. Before some liberal minded people may be quick to dismiss me as just another “tea party redneck,” I will say that I am not a proponent of using torture as a standard interrogation technique. However, I will say that as bad as it may be, water boarding is far from what I would consider torture. It was carried out with medical staff on hand and in a manner that was keeping with avoiding any long term damage to the individual being interviewed. Members of our own military are subjected to water boarding as a training tool. I find it amazing that we have politicians, media members and celebrities decrying water boarding, belly slapping, cold rooms and long term standing as “torture.” Let’s not confuse the acts of enhanced interrogation techniques with the outlandish and unacceptable actions of the sadistic guards at Abu Garab. I think many people taking the high moral ground should ask themselves what types of interrogation techniques they would support if there were even the slightest chance it could possibly help to keep someone from harming their child or other family members. There are people alive today who might not have been without the use of these techniques. There is no doubt that the political hatred of George Bush and Dick Cheney are the motivators of this witch hunt.

For this current President and our United States Congress to spend even one more hour wasting time, energy and money pursuing this absolutely warrantless indictment is a travesty. I am sure we could run back through history and find instances when our country was not necessarily carrying out standards that ordinarily may be considered moral during a time of war. One such instance that comes to mind is the internment of over 100,000 Japanese Americans during World War II by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Executive Order. I believe George Bush’s enhanced interrogation techniques pales in comparison. The bottom line is, the United States is a great country. It is a young country in comparison to many of our global neighbors. But, make no mistake about it, our greatness is only parelleled by our strength, and our willingness to allow our citizens to feel safe from the attacks of those who seek to do us harm. Sometimes, I would just as soon not know what methods are being used to assure our country’s safety. However, one thing I believe, if the Bush administration is guilty of using water boarding as an interrogation technique, I myself feel they used great restraint and should be applauded by those people in opposition who seem to consider themselves our moral compass.

Healthy eating habits emphasized at conference By Carol Kinsley

Filling in at the “Families, Individiuals & Communities Conference” May 1 at Del Tech for Dr. Karyl Rattay, a pediatrician who helped develop the latest health pyramid, Milton Delgado was no disappointment. His familiarity with theater — he’s a member of a theater company in Philadelphia and of Newark’s Chapel Street Players as well as co-host of cable TV’s “The Antique Guys” — may have had some influence on his animated talk on eating healthy in which he not only informed but got the audience up on its feet for some fun exercise. Diversity describes Delgado’s background: Navy veteran, former engineering instructor at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md.; owner of Main Street Antiques in Newark; director of the Ms. Latina Delaware USA Pageant, CEO of Today’s Latino Magazine. He’s also on the board of directors for Westside Family healthcare, a Boys and Girls Club and a bilingual charter school. He’s chairman of the Governor’s Advisory Council on Hispanic Affairs’ Health Committee and is a program and policy analyst for Nemours Health Prevention Services, one of the sponsors of the conference. Delgado does training statewide on the 5-2-1 Almost None lifestyle. “In order to have health, you have to have communication,” Delgado said as he launched into an admitted “infomercial” on why it’s so important to engage in healthy eating and activities. The communication must be targeted to the audience you want to reach, he added. Flashing a series of charts on a screen behind him, Delgado showed why there’s now a sense of urgency about obesity. The chart for 1985 indicated obesity in the United States was getting worse. A new color category was added to indicate 15 to 19 percent of residents of some states had a B.M.I. (body mass index) of 30 or more, or were 30 pounds overweight. In 1997, with more mothers working, more food additives and more fast food restaurants, another new color indicated a category of 20 percent in a few states. By 2001, in Mississippi, one in four adults was classified as obese. Data collection began in all 50 states. In 2005, yet another category of 30 percent was added. “We never had an epidemic like this,” Delgado said. “And it’s very preventable. I believe people do not have the skills to eat right.” The state of Delaware, where 27.4 percent of citizens are obese, ranks 35th among the states, on a scale where the

higher the number, the worse the situation. Maryland ranks 25th, with 25.4 percent obesity. “BMI is not the be all and end all,” Delgado said. “It’s a guide to assess where you’re at in the continuum of success.” To figure your own BMI, follow the simple instructions at www.kidshealth.org. “When you get involved in healthy eating and activities, you will reach a healthy weight,” he assured the audience. “How? By engaging in physical activity, one of the most powerful ways to improve health and reduce the risk of chronic disease. Do whatever it takes to get involved in physical training,” he encouraged, adding that does not require the purchase of expensive exercise equipment. He had the audience stand while he read a story, with the instructions that when the characters jumped, ran or swam, they should do the same actions. How simple would it be to add five-minute break such as that in the middle of a long afternoon at school. Getting in a plug about the dangers of smoking, Delgato said in Canada they don’t fool around with cryptic messages. Cigarette packages state clearly: “Smoking kills.” Simple messages and simple instructions get results, he noted, as he went on to explain “5-2-1 Almost None.” The “5” stands for five or more servings of fruits or vegetables each day. One serving is a single fruit about the size of a tennis ball, or a half cup of cut fruit or juice, or a quarter cup of dried fruits like raisins. “We need to show children that fruits and vegetables are fun to eat and delicious. Suggestions from the audience included smoothies made from fruit, perhaps with yogurt, or frozen whole vegetables in the summer. Delgado encourages telling younger children to eat their colors, noting the benefits of foods that are red, blue and orange. Try “ants on a log,” he said, explaining that was a stalk of celery with peanut butter, dotted with raisins. The challenges are expense, time and the prevalence of fast food, he acknowledged, suggesting that parents interested in changing their lifestyle can take the time to shop for better nutrition and still feed a family of four for under $10. The “2” is for two hours or less of screen time, whether TV, computer or video games. “We have to learn to how to limit ourselves,” Delgado said. “If you’re not invested in yourself, when you retire, it’s game over. You’ll be better able to enjoy retirement because you are healthy!” An hour of physical activity is what the “1” stands for, getting involved and

getting your heart moving, Delgado explained. “It doesn’t have to cost a dime. Move more, feel better, have more energy. Find something you enjoy.” “Almost none” refers to sugary drinks. There are 10 teaspoons of sugar in a regular cola, Delgado said. A single can of regular soda a day will add 15 pounds to your weight. A 4-ounce juice box is all the juice you should give a child. “Remember when juice was served in a tiny glass?” he asked. Six ounces is what an adult needs. Water is the best beverage, he continued. Try cutting up fruit into a pitcher of

water and keeping it in the refrigerator. Or use cucumbers. If you keep cut-up fruit or vegetables in the refrigerator, your family will eat it. “Buy into the healthy lifestyle,” Delgado urged, referring the audience to www. growuphealthy.org for more information. Then he had them stand and clap once, twice, ten times, ensuring a standing ovation. The conference continued with workshops, activities and health screenings, wrapping up with a panel discussion entitled “Healthy Communities Start with You.”

Day Foundation. Approximately 12 million Americans are now living with and beyond a diagnosis of cancer. In the United States, almost half of all men and one third of all women are expected to be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives.

‘Punk’ Callaway remembered as respected official, sports enthusiast By Mike McClure

Edward H. “Punk”Callaway will be posthumously honored later this month when he is inducted into the Delaware Sports Hall of Fame. The Laurel native officated football for 40 years and basketball for 32 years and well respected and well known throughout the Delmarva Peninsula. “He could handle a game. He was in charge. A lot of schools wanted him to officiate their games,” said former coach Ben Sirman. “He got lots of people into officiating,” Seaford Mayor Ed Butler said. “He was an asset to officiating in the state of Delaware.” Callaway will be honored during the Delaware Sports Hall of Fame Ceremony in Wilmington on May 20 as one of the inductees in the class of 2009. Callaway, who officiated from Smyrna to Cape Charles, Va., never missed an assignment his first 40 years as an official for the Del-Mar-Va Coaches and Officials Association. He served as the association’s president for two years and was also its assignor. Punk also officiated the traditional LewesRehoboth Thanksgiving Day games from 1943 to 1954 at the request of Hall of Fame coach Frank Coveleski. In addition to officiating high school games, Callaway also worked college football games during his career including games at Wesley College, Salisbury State, and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. Travel distance proved to be a problem for downstate officials at the time. He also officiated high school basketball games for the International Association of Approved Basketball Officials (IAABO) board #129 and served as board president and as assignor for that organization as well. Callaway officiated boys’ state tournament basketball for six consecutive years and served on the boys’ state basketball tournament committee for its first six years (1969-1972). He also officiated college games as well as many tournaments in the Dover Air Force base men’s service league. One of the things Callaway is best remembered for is his encouragement of young officials. According to Butler, who started officiating games with Callaway and Cliff Lee in 1963, Callaway and the other officials helped new officials learn the ropes. “They were just good to the young officials,” said Butler. “He (Callaway) always got the big games.” “He was very active in the sports arena. Anybody that knew him knew that he was very dedicated to sports programs,” Dale Boyce said of Callaway. “He was always well respected as an official.” Boyce started reffing football in 1951, and like many others, had Callaway take him under his wing when he became an

official. According to Sirman, Callaway worked as a bread delivery man and was able to get his route done in time to officiate afternoon games. Callway is the first downstate official to be selected for induction in the Delaware Sports Hall of Fame. This is one of many achievements for Callaway as an official. He officiated the first half of the first Blue-Gold all-star football game as a referee. Callaway went on to officiate six Blue-Gold games, four as a referee and two on the chain gang. Punk also officiated (as referee) the first Delaware state football tournament in 1971 as well as the first games ever played by Milton, Greenwood, Pocomoke, Crisfield, and North Dorchester high schools. Following the end of his final game on Nov. 18, 1983, Callaway was presented with the game ball by Delmar High School. The Del-Mar-Va Coaches and Officials Association also permanently retired his number 47 officials jersey upon his retirement, making him the only official to be so honored. “A good official can’t let things like that (jeering crowds, irrate coaches, and frustrated players) get to him. My philosophy has always been, call the shots like you see them and don’t be afraid to admit you’ve made a mistake. That happens sometimes, after all, we’re only human too,” Callaway told an upstate newspaper. Callaway earned 14 varsity letters at Laurel High, the most in school history. He was coached in baseball, basketball, and football by Hall of Fame coach George Schollenberger. In addition to playing basketball at Laurel for five years, during which the Bulldogs were 59-8, Callaway also played with the Laurel Owls in the Eastern Shore Basketball League. He also played fast and slow pitch softball as a pitcher until Continued on page 46

Laurel, Sussex Tech varsity baseball game is halted by rain By Lynn Schofer

The Laurel High School baseball team took on Sussex Tech last Friday afternoon in Laurel. Unfortunately, Mother Nature took over in the third inning sending everyone scrambling for cover. Sussex Tech hit early in the first inning, sending all nine players to the plate and scoring five times. The Ravens’ Zach Adkins pitched a one, two, three first inning, not giving the Bulldogs’ defense much time to catch their breath. In the top of the second, an error put James Smith on first and a balk moved him to second. Laurel pitcher Jamie Ruhl stuck out a pair, and after another walk, he recorded the third out. Laurel came alive in the bottom of the second and had a big opportunity to put some numbers on the board. Brandon Hearne opened with a leadoff double. Jake Dubinski followed with a single that moved Brandon Hearne to third, and Ruhl singled in Hearne for Laurel’s first run. After giving up a walk, Adkins struck out the next two batters. After a unassisted ground out the score stood at 5-1. In the top of the third Sussex Tech answered with four more runs mostly due to walks. Kyle Timmons started the inning with a single, Adkins and Seth Hastings both drew walk, and Smith picked up the RBI on a ground out. After another walk and three more runs, Laurel brought in Branden Fischer who was able to close

Chris Hitchens gets first career win in Crate Models at Delaware International Chris Hitchens of Milton drove a flawless race, taking the lead on the final lap to score his first career win in the 15 lap feature for Crate Models Saturday night at the Delaware International Speedway. Tim Trimble of Easton took the lead from Matt Hawkins just before halfway and put an end to Michael White’s streak in winning the 15-lap AC Delco Modified feature. Steve White of Laurel beat the field and the rain to remain perfect in winning his third Mod Lite feature of the year and Mel Joseph Jr. of Georgetown took advantage of a slip by Jamie Wagner in the final turn to win the 10-lap Little Lincoln Vintage main. A solid field of 21 Crate Models took the green with rookie Matt Hill setting the pace. Hill led the first two laps before spinning in the fourth turn to bring out the yellow. Hitchens was the new leader with defending champ, Joe Warren running in second. At the halfway sign the top five were Hitchens, Warren, Ryan Walls, Herb Tunis and Clint Chalabala. Warren was looking for his second straight win but could not shake Hitchens. Hitchens stayed in the low groove going into the third turn and pulled even and then out raced Warren back to the checkered for the win in his Connell Roofing No. 77. Warren finished in the second spot with Walls third. Fourth went to Tunis and Chalabala had a personal best finishing in fifth. Fast time in qualifying was set by Hitchens. Hawkins got off to a great start in leading the 15-lap AC Delco Modified feature. Trimble quickly worked by both Scott Baker and Shawn Ward to take second on lap one. Trimble was able to keep the pressure on Hawkins and take the lead on lap five. At the halfway sign the top five were

Trimble, Hawkins, Michael White, Baker and Adam Jarrell. The only change in the top five in the second half would be Kyle Fuller getting by Jarrell on the final lap. Trimble, in the Courtland Manor/Troyer took the victory with Hawkins posting a personal best in second. White finished in the third spot with Baker fourth and Fuller fifth. Fast time in qualifying was set by Joseph Tracy who was involved in a first lap crash ending his night. Kevin McKinney led the first lap of the Mod Lite feature before Steve White, who had started in seventh, rim rode into the lead. The caution was out on lap three when Rick Wheatley flipped in the first turn but was not injured. Paul McGinley made a strong run from his eight starting spot to third. Just as the halfway flags flew the rains came and White, in his Northeast Modified Lites/ Lightning was credited with the win. McKinney finished in the second spot followed by McGinley, Brandon Dennis and Ty Short in the top five. Fast qualifier was Steve White. The Little Lincoln Vintage Cars made their first start of the season. Joseph led the first three laps holding off Donald Robinson, Jr. Jamie Wagner mounted a charge from his fifth starting spot and took the lead on lap four.

Mills wins thriller in new Delaware ‘Mix and Match’ main By Charlie Brown

The Delaware International Speedway tried a new format on Saturday night and hit a home run with the fans. The new “Mix & Match” program took five cars from each of the two Super Late Model and two NAPA Big Block Modified heats. An additional two cars from each division came from respective consolations and the driver with the highest point total that did not qualify in each division was added to make up the 26 car starting field. At the end of 30 laps the “Mix & Match” had become a “claw and scratch” as drivers appeared to drive their hardest for bragging rights as to which division was the fastest. It all boiled down to the final two turns with Jamie Mills surviving a near tangle with Donald Lingo, Jr. to post the $2,000 win. Late Model driver Donald Lingo, Jr. and modified invader Chad James drew for the pole starting spot with James pulling number two. Lingo started on the pole in the Delaware start with the modifieds lined up on the inside row and the late models on the outside behind him. Lingo set a blistering pace at the drop of the green with James running in second. The late models of invader Austin Hubbard and Ross Robinson held third and fourth and sophomore driver Jordan Watson ran in fifth. On lap four the yellow was out for a jingle involving the modifieds of Jamie Mills and Bobby Watkins and the father and son late model team of David and Derrike Hill. All four cars were able to restart at the rear of the field. Late model driver Richard Jarvis, Jr. was on the climb and took fifth. Two laps later he worked by both Robinson and Hubbard for third. The top five would shuffle again on lap 10 when second place runner, James slowed with a vibration in his car. The top three were now the late models of Lingo, Jarvis and Robinson with Jordan Watson fourth and Hubbard fifth. Eyes now turned to veteran Hal Browning who was making an inspired drive from his 13th starting spot. Browning was up to fourth just as the yellow came out for a spin involving Jarvis and Watson. It was now the late models of Lingo, Robinson and Browning running in the top three with Hubbard and the modified of Matt Jester running in the top five. The order remained the same through the halfway point until lap 17 when Mills had worked his way back through the field into fifth. A series of yellows kept the field closely bunched. Mills got by Hubbard for fourth with 10 to go as Browning had the crowd on its feet as he got by Robinson for second and started to pressure Lingo for the lead. Hubbard was not out of the picture as he mounted one more charge and got back to third but would come to a stop with two laps to go to set up a green-white-checkered finish. Mills got by Browning on the restart and went to the inside of Lingo in turn three with the two making contact but the yellow was out for a final time as Derricke Hill and Eric Vent tangled. The scoring reverted back to lap 28 and again it was Lingo, Browning and Mills coming to the green. Mills got by Browning before the first turn and tucked in behind Lingo. On the final lap Mills took the lead going down the back straight but Lingo went in low and hard with the two making contact again and both going off the top of the third turn. Mills kept his foot on the throttle coming back on the track in turn four. Robinson had gotten by Browning on the final lap and tried to beat Mills back to the line but it was Mills, in the I.G. Burton/Coulbourne Farms/Bicknell taking the win by .286 seconds. “I’ll tell you what, there’s no love lost between the modified and late model guys,” said Mills. “I think it’s worse now and this next mix and match race is going to be interesting too. It’s a lot of fun because you’re getting to run with guys you normally don’t get to run with. They’re not cutting anybody any slack and I’m not cutting anybody any slack.” Both Jester and H.J. Bunting got by Browning on the final lap to finish in third and fourth and Browning rounded out the top five. Late Model heats were won by Ray Davis, Jr. and Staci Warrington with Derricke Hill credited with the consolation. Modified heats were won by Jordan Watson and Dana Walker with Scott VanGorder taking the consolation.

ESBF Baseball Hall of Fame is seeking nominations

Members of the Eastern Shore Baseball Foundation Board of Directors are seeking nominations for the ESBF Hall of Fame, housed at their museum at the Delmarva Shorebirds’ stadium on Route 50 in Salisbury. In keeping with the vision of the foundation, these individuals should be of the quality that will cast a positive light on the deep and rich tradition of baseball on the Delmarva Peninsula, according to ESBF President Kenny Green. “When you look at the caliber of people we have inducted in the past, you get a clear understanding of how important they were to baseball and, in particular, baseball on the Eastern Shore,” he said. The foundation’s bylaws read, “Nominees must have been active as a player, manager, umpire, coach, fan, or sports personality in such a was as to bring honor to baseball on the Eastern Shore (from the C & D Canal to Kiptopeke, Va.) At least five years must have passed since a player’s retirement from the game.” “This person must have been born on the Eastern Shore or domiciled on the Eastern Shore during the days he/she was active as a player, manager, umpire coach, fan, or sports personality.” “Our Hall of Fame program is a way of recognizing the achievements of individuals while promoting the legacy of baseball in our area,” Green said. “When these people are inducted during our Fall banquet, it is a very special time.” For more information about the ESBF Hall of Fame, or to nominate someone, contact Green at (410) 742-6096 or Treasurer Jeff Fields at (410) 341-7387.

Gas Lines Prices hold another week

The average U.S. retail price for regular grade gasoline held at $2.05 last week, marking the fifth consecutive week and only the fifth time since November 17 gasoline has been above $2.00 per gallon. Last week’s price was nearly exactly half the record price of $4.114 set on July 7, 2008. Crude oil prices ended the week slightly above $50 to close at $53.20 last Friday. Corporate earnings reports, a strengthening dollar, growing oil and gasoline inventories and Chrysler heading to bankruptcy all factored into setting the long term price of oil. However, ultimately it was the growing concern over the spread of the H1N1 virus, commonly known as swine flu, and its potential for driving down summer travel that helped keep oil prices down. Last week the U.S. Energy Infor-

mation Administration (EIA) reported crude supplies rose 4.1 million barrels, about double the expectation, and gasoline stocks fell 4.7 million barrels, much more than analysts had expected. The EIA also reported that gasoline demand for 2009 is only 4,000 barrels per day below the same period one year ago. In addition, the EIA strengthened its forecast for 2009 gasoline demand, estimating it would register about 50,000 b/d or 0.6% higher compared to 2008. Also, Exxon Mobil’s net income fell 58% in the first-quarter as demand for energy slumped and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) estimated cumulative travel for 2009 has fallen 8.6 billion vehicle miles, or 1.9% compared to the same 2008 period. Local pricing Gas Lines was not published last week. A week ago one station in Seaford was selling regular gasoline for $1.879 a gallon on Tuesday, down 5 cents from the previous week. This Tuesday, the price at the same station was $1.949 a gallon, up seven cents.

Police Journal Delaware State Police have arrested a 46-year-old Millville woman for 108 fraudulent related charges after she was involved in a check-kiting scheme that resulted in over $14,000 taken from a local bank. The investigation began after authorities with Wilmington Trust Bank in Millville contacted state police after discovering irregularities in personal and business checking accounts opened in July and August 2008 by Wanda M. Wendell of Millville. Detectives learned that Ms. Wendell had opened these accounts and deposited several checks into them from another account she held at Chevy Chase Bank. However, the Chevy Chase account had insufficient funds to cover the balance of the depos-

ited checks. Additionally, detectives learned that Ms. Wendell had deposited several of the insufficient fund checks from the Chevy Chase account into the automated teller machine at Wilmington Trust, thus giving her next day availability to withdraw money from the Wilmington Trust account. Ms. Wendell would then withdraw the money before the bank realized the check was returned for insufficient funding. On other occasions, she would write a check out for cash from the Chevy Chase account to the Wilmington Trust account and receive the monies instantly, again before the bank gained knowledge of the insufficient funds. Ms. Wendell was responsible for completing over 80 fraudulent transactions between

Around 150 law enforcement officers are killed in the line of duty every year. Family members and coworkers left to cope with the tragic losses have found help in the resources of Concerns for Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.), a group organized in 1984 which now includes more than 15,000 families. To benefit the Delaware chapter of this organization and the Delaware Police Memorial Fund, a C.O.P.S. Memorial Ride will be held on May 9. There will be two motorcycle convoys, one leaving the Harley Davidson lot on Route 13 in Seaford at 10 a.m. Riders will converge at Little Creek Fire Hall and go as one group to the Green in Dover near Legislative Mall about noon. No advanced registration is necessary. Registration - which begins at 9 a.m. - is $25 per rider, and the first 175 to register will receive a free t-shirt.

There are 33 officers from Delaware that died in the line of duty. There are officers from Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware River and Bay Authority, Ocean View, Dover - and one from Seaford. Patrolman James Henry Hill of Seaford Police Department, on a hot day in 1970, had to fight a suspect to take him into custody. During the fight, Hill was struck in the chest. The next morning Patrolman Hill was directing traffic at DuPont when he suffered a heart attack and died. It is thought that delayed trauma from the fight resulted in his death. Sponsors are still being sought to underwrite preparations and insurance for the event. Questions about sponsorships may be directed to Eleanor Allione at 302-388-2657 or Joe Wagner at 302-994-9183.

July and October 2008 netting a loss of $14,013.14 to Wilmington Trust Bank. Detectives also learned that Ms. Wendell deposited approximately $4,700 of legitimate funds into these accounts during the same period in an effort to conceal the fraud. By doing this, she was attempting to deceive the banks by creating the impression the insufficient funding in her accounts were oversights and not deliberate actions. During the investigation, detectives discovered Ms. Wendell’s actions were intentional and she was arrested for 18 felony counts of theft by false pretense, four felony counts of issuing a bad check, 90 misdemeanor counts of theft by false pretense and 21 misdemeanor counts of issuing a bad check. She was re-

leased on $62,500 unsecured bail.

Ambulance in crash

Delaware State Police are investigating a crash that involved a Rehoboth Beach Volunteer Fire Company Ambulance. Troopers were called to the two vehicle crash at 6:23 p.m. on Coastal Highway (SR1) at John J Williams Highway (SR24) on May 3. Investigators learned that a 2004 Ford Ambulance, operated by Teri Overstreet, 22, of Harbeson, was traveling northbound on Coastal Hwy. The ambulance approached the intersection of SR 24 and was preparing to turn left to go westbound. The ambulance slowed down due to a red left-turn traffic signal and waited for southbound traffic to stop. The ambulance, which had its

emergency equipment activated, observed traffic stopped and began crossing the southbound lanes. A 2006 Chevy Impala, operated by Tonya Moore, 41, of Milton, was traveling southbound on Coastal Hwy in the right lane. She failed to yield to the ambulance and proceeded into the intersection. As a result the ambulance and Chevy collided. Both operators and a passenger from the ambulance, Steven Humphreys, 32, of Georgetown, sustained minor injuries and were taken to Beebe Hospital. Moore was cited for failure to yield to an emergency vehicle. All parties were wearing seatbelts and alcohol was not a factor. The ambulance was enroute to a medical assistance call and did not have any patients on board.

Health Legislation would allow families to buy health coverage for kids Lieutenant Governor Matthew Denn, State Senator Patricia Blevins, and State Representative Terry Schooley recently introduced legislation that would allow parents with uninsured children to buy health insurance for those children for just over $100/month. The legislation would allow parents to purchase comprehensive health coverage from the state’s CHIP program, which is currently only available to families earning less than 200% of the federal poverty level. The proposed new program, which would not have a fiscal impact on the state, is modeled in part on Pennsylvania’s widely praised “We Cover All Kids” program. The goal of the new program is to take another step toward making affordable health insurance coverage available to every child in Delaware. The coverage for children covered under the “Delaware Covers All Kids” plan would include everything from routine checkups to eye exams to doctor and hospital services. This coverage is currently offered to the children of families below 200% of the federal poverty line, at a premium of

between $10 and $25 per month. The new legislation would make it available to the uninsured children of all families, regardless of income. Representative Schooley noted that recent statistics indicate that the number of Delaware children without health insurance has continued to increase. The bill permits the Department of Health and Social Services to adjust the premiums, co-pays, and deductibles for the new program on an ongoing basis so that the program is self-sufficient and does not create a new financial obligation to the state. Based on the most recent statistics for the state CHIP program, a premium of $110/month would be sufficient to sustain the new program, assuming that the newly enrolled children have the same health characteristics as the currently enrolled children. “Nemours Health and Prevention Services is pleased that the Legislature is taking this step to decrease the number of uninsured children in Delaware,” said Gwen Angalet, managing director at Nemours Health and Prevention Services, “It is a critical step to help assure that all children have access to health care.”

By Dr. Anthony Policastro Parents teach their children every day. They do that by their actions. Children are much more about doing what their parents do and not necessarily doing what their parents tell them. My parents taught me many lessons. However, most of the important ones I learned from watching. My father was a very industrious worker. I learned the importance of a good work ethic from him. He would give you the shirt off his back. I learned the importance of looking out for others from him. That had a lot to do with me selecting medicine as a career. My mother was very frugal. I learned about money management from watching her. My parents sent me to Catholic school for 12 years. I remain active in the Catholic Church because of that. However, the thing I learned the most about growing up in an Italian family is the importance of family. Nothing was more important to my parents than family. We all traveled together. We ate all our meals together. We spent a lot of time visiting relatives. This was something they taught my sisters and me by their actions. As we all become parents, it is important for us to realize that there are many lessons that our children learn by watching us. Some of those are good and some of those are bad.

For example, children who watch their parents drink too much are more likely to do so as well. Children who watch their parents drink in moderation are more likely to drink responsibly. More than 85% of cigarette smokers have parents who are smokers. Language used by parents is repeated by children when they are outside of the home. Churchgoing habits tend to be things that children will follow. If the parents are active in the church, the children are likely to be as well. If the parents do not go to church, it is unlikely that the child will do so. Honesty is another habit that children observe. Parents who have no respect for laws will find their children mimicking their behavior. Parental interest in sports, the arts or entertainment will find that imitated by their children as they get older. It really does not matter what the habit is, children will copy what they see. Parents need to pay attention to what they are telling their children to do. If what they tell them is the same as the way they themselves act, then that is consistent. However, if they tell their children to do one thing and they do the opposite, then there will be problems. Before they tell their children anything, they need to examine their own behavior. They may need to change their actions before they start saying things that are not consistent with the way they act.

Children learn more from what you do than from what you say

Report sick, dead birds to DNR to help monitor West Nile virus The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control’s Mosquito Control Section is asking the public’s help in monitoring West Nile virus by reporting sick or dead wild birds that may have contracted the virus, a mosquito-borne disease of considerable concern to human health and unvaccinated horses. Mosquito Control requests that the public report only sick or dead crows, blue jays, cardinals, robins and hawks or owls, plus clusters of five or more sick or dead wild birds of any species. Specimens should appear to have been dead for less than 24 hours and not killed by other obvious causes. Specimens collected by Mosquito Control will be submitted to the Delaware

Public Health Laboratory for virus testing. From early June through mid-October, Mosquito Control will also operate its statewide network of about 22 “sentinel chicken” stations, which keep watch not only for West Nile virus, but also for eastern equine encephalitis, another mosquito-borne disease affecting horses and humans. In 2003 in Delaware there were 17 reported human cases and two human fatalities from West Nile virus, which is primarily transmitted by the common house mosquito, along with 63 stricken horses. In 2004 and 2006, no cases of West Nile virus were reported in humans or horses; in 2005 two human cases were reported, with no horse cases.

Just one human case in Delaware was reported in both 2007 and 2008, according to Dr. William Meredith, Delaware’s Mosquito Control administrator. Having West Nile virus in Delaware for about nine years may have reduced populations of some virus-prone birds such as crows, and surviving members of other bird species may have become more resistant to the virus’ effects. Because of this, Meredith predicts 2009 may show lower incidence of West Nile virus-stricken wild birds in Delaware, continuing a downward trend during the past five years following the peak outbreak in 2003. Meredith noted that there is no cause for alarm or fear that uncollected specimens will transmit West Nile virus to humans or pets that might consume a sick bird or its carcass. Dead birds can be left to decompose in place, or they can be buried or bagged and disposed of in the garbage. When handling any dead bird, you should avoid direct

skin contact by wearing gloves or using a shovel to dispose of the carcass. In Sussex County, sick or dead birds can be reported to the Mosquito Control Section between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, by calling 302-4221512. These numbers may also be used to report intolerable numbers of biting mosquitoes to help Mosquito Control determine when and where to provide control services. For more information on Delaware’s Mosquito Control programs, call the main office at 302-739-9917. Calls made to the field offices after business hours or during weekends or holidays can be recorded. For more information about West Nile virus in humans, contact the Division of Public Health at 302-744-4541 or 888295-5156.

‘Y’all come’ to the third Doing the Towns Together annual Strawberry Fest LAUREL AND DELMAR SOCIALS

Spring has definitely sprung here on Delmarva, and especially in western Sussex. Strawberries are ripening along with spring flowers producing blooms. Gardeners have definitely been struck by the spring planting bug, lawn and garden shops are packed as patrons rush out early in the day to fill the needs listed on their shopping list for the plants that will grace their property until early fall. Farmers have been working between rain days for several months but now are attacking fields with a vengeance. This time of year it is easy to spot the home gardeners. We are the ones who walk with a bit slower gait, back bent over a bit from using muscles that have been dormant during the winter months. We of the home gardening group are also the residents who pay closer attention to the weather channel on television, look at the skies more frequently and hope that we get the ground worked and planted to our satisfaction before the rains come. We are the ones who prefer medium warm days with lots of sun and moderately warm nights. This is the time of year when the members of St. Philip’s Episcopal Church are finalizing plans for the third annual Strawberry Festival. The committee has been working together since the beginning of the year, coordinating the annual event which now includes the town of Laurel with a “Laurel In Bloom” theme, along with the Laurel Garden Club. This group offers a tour of eight area home gardens and is always a showstopper experience. Strawberries and their growth have been associated since the beginning of time with Laurel. Marvil Package Company was a huge producer of this delicious spring fruit years ago. Horse-drawn vehicles once carried the sweet red fruit to the city markets, railroad cars were in abundance as area growers made the trek to Baltimore and Wilmington markets to sell the strawberries. Three years ago a group of members of St. Philip’s decided it was time to revive the strawberry tradition here in Western Sussex. That first festival was an overwhelming success and the rest is history as the group prepares for the third annual event. The Laurel Alumni Association has traditionally held their annual reunion on the third Saturday in May for quite a while now. This is one of the largest alumni groups in the State of Delaware and always plays to a sellout crowd. Members plan their vacation time around the date.

Moments With Mike Virginia ‘Mike’ Barton The Alumni day, Saturday, May 16, begins early for quite a few members as they gather on the brick patio at St. Philip’s for a traditional Sussex breakfast of scrapple sandwiches cooked by Jeff Dolby and his crew. After all, a trip back home to Laurel is definitely not complete without a crispy-onthe-outside moist-on-the-inside sandwich to start the special day. A chicken salad luncheon platter, complete with an assortment of homemade muffins, accompanied by a variety of strawberry concoctions for dessert will be served to the public both on the patio and inside the Parish House dining room at St. Philip’s. This is a special time to gather old friends and enjoy a great meal in a delightful atmosphere between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. The good cooks from St. Philip’s promise top quality service and food, with coffee refills and carry-outs. Visitors and town residents are welcome to the luncheon and to the bake sale table, flea market tables, craft tables and variety tables, especially the “new and used” section where something special may be found. Games will be provided for young children to enjoy while parents browse in the Memorial Hall. The Laurel Garden Club will offer a special tour of area gardens and this is always a special treat to both residents and visitors. Strawberries will once again be provided by the Hen House and will be served sliced and sugared, with or without cake, over ice cream, or may be purchased by the quart or gallon. All proceeds from St. Philip’s will be presented to Habitat for Humanity, an exceptionally worthwhile cause that has provided much-needed housing for area residents. Habitat requires the future homeowners to work along with the volunteer labor building the homes. This program teaches skills of every type to future homeowners, builds confidence and pride within everyone involved. Alumni members from Laurel High, townspeople from the Laurel community

Sunday, May 3, at the home of Scott and Cindy Lynch, a baby shower was hosted by Kristina and Kati Ward for their sister, Kelsi, whose baby girl is due in early summer. Amid tasty refreshments and games for the guests she opened her many useful and colorful gifts for the expected bambina who will be called Bella. The Laurel Red Hat group “Chatter Hatters” met for lunch last week at the Atlantic Hotel in Berlin with hostess Betty Ringrose. Frank and Carolyn Calio have recently returned from a week’s trip to Myrtle Beach and presently Carolyn and her Alumni Banquet committee are busy making last minute preparations for the 19th annual banquet on May 16. The Calio’s daughter, Lisa Alvarez has returned home from her traveling nurses duties in Arizona and is currently nursing at PRMC in Salisbury. On May 16, a really busy day in town, as we celebrate the Strawberry Festival and all of it’s activities starting with breakfast at St. Philip’s parish hall and continuing through the day. The Historical Society will have a table in the hall selling some collectors items, books on the history of the town of Laurel, some “Cats Meow” collectors items (The Mellon Bank and The Wilmington Trust bank) wreaths hand made by one of the members and some collectors Christmas balls. For a small donation visitors are welcome at the Cook House, where they may also view the display for the recent 100-year celebration there and at the Studley house may view the newly designed interior blue prints for the house and the exterior landscaping. The Society is partnering with other civic groups such as the Garden Club, which is having a tour of several Laurel gardens. Also the old Henry store on Rt. 24 will be open that day for visitors. I’m told that there and every other community are cordially invited to be a part of this special day that now encompasses the entire town of Laurel and will touch the lives of many others. Saturday, May 16, will be a special day for not only St. Philip’s and the Laurel High alumni, but for everyone who attends the special event. Mayor John Shwed, Laurel businesses, and the Laurel Garden Club are coordinating Laurel in Bloom through the

are some Laurel High School classes celebrating with reunions that weekend and will wind down with the banquet that night. Now you can certainly find some sort of activity to get involved in on May 16. I have just talked to Mona Wright and she tells me that Tom is still in Christiana hospital but improving by degrees each day. For a while back there, he was not interested in cards but now has received so many that she has them all displayed on the walls of his room and very much appreciated by both of them. As he receives them now she reads each one to him as it arrives and then — up it goes on the wall! We all wish him the very best and successful recovery. We express our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of: Elsie M. Jones, Jeanne Appleby Berner, Luther Thomas Ralph and Leon W. Cross. We continue with prayers for our service men and service women and for friends who are ill, “Bobbi” Shwed, Dot Murphy, Matthew Littleton, Tom Wright, Chris Calio, June Williams, Alvin Lutz, Harriett MacVeigh, Steve Trivits, Jean Henry, Calvin Hearn, Walt Dorman, Hattie Puckham, Mary Wilson, Cecile Jones, Robert Truitt, Donald Layton, Sr., Bob Horn, Conner Niblett, Patrick Starr, Bob Christian, and Donald Layton, Sr. Happy May birthday greetings to: Retta Oney, Judith Booze and Elizabeth Carter on May 8; Donald Davis and Lucy King, May 9; Edith Joseph, May 10; Mary Lou Guyot, Rosa Hackley, May 11; Barbara Altizer, May 12; Clifford Reaser, May 13; Lois Cordrey and Ruth Ann Hoover, May 14. “The best thing to spend on your children is your time.” See you in the stars.

Opinion Letters to the editor Tea Party day was ‘misguided’

Your editorial (Final Word, April 30May 6) about conservatives (“take cover or take a stand”) mentioned the Tea Party event on April 15. The reason I think the Tea Party day was misguided (though perfectly welcome as an expression of free speech) is that unlike the 1770s, virtually all Americans are already represented by elected officials at numerous levels, and are therefore free to vote those people out of office if they don’t care for the taxation decisions made by their elected representatives. Last fall, voters expressed themselves dissatisfied with the preceding eight years by giving Obama/Biden the largest number of votes in history (about 69 million) spread across many states with more than 360 electoral votes. Maybe their voting choices were tax-based, maybe not. Maybe it was Iraq or Katrina, torture or the economy. Until the next election, the motivation of each voter doesn’t matter as much as this: The Democrats won nationally and locally in many states (who’s the most recent Republican Governor of Delaware?), so Democrats get to say more about the agenda than Republicans. The Republicans can offer opposing choices, but “just say no” is not really much of a choice. As regards the present economic crisis and the stimulus package which may help, note that now, and for most of the past 60 years, conservatives, most of whom are now Republicans, have not addressed one reality of a free society. Who is going to pay for things which are beyond the authority and scope of individuals? The country (the world) may be in dire straits, and individuals are clearly hurting as their companies are downsizing or closing. But part of America requires tax dollars to run. I pay for my house, my yard, my clothing, a portion of my health insurance coverage (my retirement program covers me – but I pay into it), my car, and so on. But I’m not authorized to pave the road in front of my house, nor to bring the electric wire up to the outside wall, nor to ensure the sewer is repaired after a big earthquake, nor to run the public schools. I can’t run the national weather service which lets the TV stations know a hurricane is coming. But the federal government and the state governments can do these things. While liberals and conservatives argue about which federal programs might be most worthy, conservatives seem generally

unwilling to admit that anything beyond defense should have government support. People clearly want services beyond National Defense, and none of it is free. Do conservatives admit this? That is where, I believe, they have failed America. If the conservatives could admit that paying for American society does require some tax dollars, and that the costs do sometimes increase, and therefore taxes must increase, then we could have healthier discussions of which programs are valuable and helpful. But for decades, the conservatives have refused to admit that virtually anything should ever be supported by the government – except for Defense (or, programs in their own districts, no matter how seemingly unnecessary, something common to both parties). These are major, basic shared costs of our society, and along with a number of other things, society requires them to function as we Americans want it to function. To support these things, the private citizen can only do two things. One is to vote for candidates who may express, if elected, his or her point of view on issues. The other is to pay for these programs, through taxation. Can a conservative admit that, and offer constructive ways to pay for the programs that people want? Or is the conservative way still going to be “No, the government shouldn’t do that” or “No, we have to give the money back to the people” or some other such thing which disregards the role of government in our society – a role the voters have indicated that they want to see? “Just say no to taxes” is not actually a constructive program. I used to believe that a smaller government was better. But after seeing the conservative attitudes toward such issues as civil rights (“federal government shouldn’t interfere in schools”) and health care (“none for poor people, but let’s run Terry Schiavo’s life even though that should be a private family matter”), or even emer-

gency management (“Hurricane Katrina was the fault of the poor people in New Orleans!”), I believe that conservatives need to change from the party of “No” to regain respect.

Response to ‘don’t have a clue’

Frank Calio in his opinion piece from April 30-May 6 says that, “people voted overwhelmingly for change.” They voted overwhelming for change because they believed what Obama said during his campaign. How many campaign promises can you break? Obama said he believed in one man and one woman marriage and the day after he became president the White House website said that they would work to overturn DOMA, the Defense of Marriage Act. He said that he wanted to make abortion rare, yet he repealed the Mexico City policy and he also came out in favor of the United Nation’s policy on increasing abortions, sending money overseas for abortion on demand (this during our worst economic crisis). He also said that his administration would be the most transparent in history and would eliminate pork from all the budget process. Neither one of these has happened and as a matter of fact, he has nominated more criminals, those who did not pay their taxes, than any former president. Where have the tax breaks for middle class gone that he promised? This, too, has disappeared in the new budget as well as the increase in infrastructure spending. As a matter of fact the GDP has declined 6.1% due to his policies. Where has the working across the aisle gone that he promised? He shut out the Republicans from any say in the budget at all and I suppose that is bi-partisanship Obama style? By the way he also snuck into the budget bill two items that will start us on the way to socialized medicine and if he continues at the same pace, we will become a socialist nation. He has appointed czars to top level policy positions (outside of the balance of power) who only report to him. What was the name of the country that had a czar and what kind of government did it operate? Calio missed the point of the Tea Parties. They were in protest of spending without representation. Obama rammed a unilateral plan that will saddle our children and grandchildren with debt and higher taxes. We don’t “send rafts to Cuba or

Missing Family Cemetery

The Laurel Historical Society has now documented almost 100 cemeteries in the Laurel area. To help us locate these cemeteries, we obtained a document of a cemetery survey completed for Sussex County in 1928. There are several cemeteries on this list that we have been unable to find. Because the last letter to the editor regarding a cemetery on Phillips Landing Road was successfully answered, we are again asking our Laurel neighbors to help us out. There is one cemetery, just east of Laurel, that we are currently seeking information for. It is the Wiley family cemetery containing at least six graves. This cemetery was listed in 1928 as 2 miles east of Laurel. That survey was not entirely specific in their directions. East could mean anywhere in the northeast to southeast direction. We have completed many cemeteries in this area but have had no luck finding the Wiley family. If you have any information about the Wiley family cemetery, contact us at 8770110 or breendm@comcast.net. If you know about a hidden cemetery, also contact us. There are many we are still looking for and it is possible that it is one we do not know about. Thank you. Doug Breen,

Looks forward to Pat Murphy’s column I look forward to Pat Murphy’s column each week. He fills in a lot of gaps about Laurel that I missed after I headed off to college and seminary after graduating in 1950. But allow me to fill a gap of his. A couple of weeks ago he talked about the old Acme market that used to be and listed a few Laurel stalwarts who worked there. He missed two of the pioneers: Philip Miller and me. Sadly, Phil can’t be a witness to my memory. I joined Phil at the old American Stores about 1948. I had spent a few months working for Jim Lowe at his grocery store up across the street from Spicer’s. Phil told me about his job in the meat department at the American Stores, and Linwood Sirman, the meat manager hired me. Philip and I sold meat over the counter in the back of the store. Our least favorite task was cleaning out the meat cases after closing on Saturday night. That chore taught me, among other things, that if you breathe deeply in an enclosed space and ammonia is present, you’re going to go down. It was great fun and the pay was good. We used to put these big red crayons (that were used to mark the prices on packages) behind our ears, and one day Phil’s

Final Word slipped from behind his ear and landed in the beef he was grinding up. As I remember it, we concluded that it added a bit of color, and, as I further remember it, nobody was poisoned from eating a bit of crayon. We were there when we moved into the new, self-serve, Acme Market. We had really moved “uptown.” It took some getting used to. A lady came in fussing that she had bought some rotten chicken. Linwood Sirman asked if she had kept it refrigerated. She said, “No,” that she had followed the directions pasted on the package, “Keep under refrigeration” and had put it under the refrigerator. I worked there until I went off to college, where, because I was forced to join the Amalgamated Meat Cutters Union to work at Acme, I landed the highest paying part-time job at my college: $1.35 an hour.

As of 1 p.m. Tuesday, May 5, Delaware’s Division of Public Health (DPH) had confirmed 33 cases of H1N1 influenza (also known as swine flu) up from 20 at the same time Monday. None of the newly confirmed cases were in Sussex County. Also on Monday all 20 confirmed cases involved Universisty of Delaware students. “I want to reinforce our concern about assuring that all of those experiencing illness at this time make a full recovery, and that we prevent additional cases of H1N1 influenza to the fullest extent possible,” said Dr. Karyl Rattay, DPH director. “Hospital, education, and public health officials continue to work together during this situation. It is important to note that the cases that we are announcing as confirmed reflect lab results catching up with the activity of last week. It is also important to note that all the cases we know of have involved mild flu symptoms. A temporary DPH clinic that was set up on the University of Delaware’s campus Wednesday was closed Friday afternoon when the university’s health service could handle the volume of students. To prevent spread of illness, including influenza, community members are advised to take the following precautions: Wash your hands often with soap and water or clean with alcohol-based hand cleaner. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your upper arm when coughing or sneezing. Any child or adult who is feeling sick should seek care from a physician, and should not travel or go to work or school. The DPH toll-free Swine Flu Call Center phone line operates Monday - Friday 9 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. at 1-866-408-1899 for questions from Delaware residents.
