Apple-Scrapple Festival this weekend By Lynn R. Parks Nearly two decades ago, when Bridgeville residents were looking for some kind of annual event to bring visitors to town, someone suggested an apple festival. Bridgeville native John Shockley, one of several people attending the organizational meeting, scoffed at the idea that the apple, which the festival would celebrate, was the town’s biggest product. “I said that apples aren’t our biggest product,” said Shockley, who still lives in Bridgeville. “Scrapple is. And then I said, ‘Maybe we can have an applescrapple festival.’” Everybody laughed. “I said it as a joke,” Shockley said. “But then as the meeting went on, everybody sort of liked it.” By the end of the meeting, plans for the town’s first Apple-Scrapple Festival were under way. This weekend, Bridgeville will host its 16th Apple-Scrapple Festival. If last year’s festival is any indication, about 35,000 people will attend. “After that first meeting, I wouldn’t have given 50 cents for the idea of a festival in Bridgeville,” Shockley said. “I thought, ‘Who’s going to come to little old Bridgeville, Del.?’ Now, I’m so glad that I was proved wrong. I enjoy the festival so much, and enjoy seeing everyone come to Bridgeville.” The annual festival is like a big town reunion, said Shockley; he and his wife are expecting their son, Scott Slacum, Millsboro, and two granddaughters, age 6 and 9, for the weekend. In addition two friends from Lewes will visit during the weekend, and might bring with them an additional two people. In anticipation of the festival and their guests, the Shockleys are decorating their Laws Street house with apples, pigs and bales of straw. Food is a highlight of the festival What is it that makes the AppleScrapple Festival so successful? “I think it’s the food,” said Shockley. Every year, the town’s streets are lined with vendors, selling a variety of food including (of course) scrapple sandwiches and apple dumplings. Last year, several food booths were sold out by 6 Saturday evening, including the Bridgeville Volunteer Fire Department’s oyster fritter stand, a hot dog stand and a funnel cake stand. The apple dumpling stand closed at 3 in the afternoon after selling 3,500 dumplings. Chairwoman Bonnie Workman believes that the fact that many of

the vendors are non-profit organizations is a big attraction. Apple dumpling sales benefit Mennonite mission trips and the Bridgeville Kiwanis and Lions clubs have food booths, as do many school, church and community groups. In addition, the three-day carnival benefits the Bridgeville Public Library. “It really pulls out a lot of people when they know they are helping non-profits,” Workman said. Workman also believes that the rhyming festival name is a draw. “Every year we all sit around and wonder, how in the world did this happen?” she said. “I really think a big part of the attraction is the name. People really like it. And I think we pay attention to what the people want. They like buses so they can get around, and we provide that. And they like to have a lot of information so they know where to go, and we give them that.” Festival organizers put together a booklet, widely available throughout the weekend, with schedules and information about events. Scrapple chunkin’ and slingin’ Or maybe the festival’s attraction is in the fact that organizers have found ways to enjoy one of its two stars, scrapple, other than eating it. Those with competitive spirits are welcome to join in the scrapple carving contest in the morning and in the afternoon, the scrapple chunking contest. The festival also features an invitational scrapple throw, hosted by Town Commission president Joe Conaway for area politicians.
“We have our Old Salem Days,” said Dic Burbage, Salem, Va., who was watching the scrapple chunkin’ a couple of years ago with his sister, Ruth Ann Marvel, Dagsboro. “But they are nothing like this. We’ll have to find something to throw.” “This is great fun,” added Marvel, whose son Kyle, 10, competed in the scrapple chunk. “We’ve seen the crafts and eaten food, but this contest is definitely the highlight.” The scrapple chunkin’ will start at 1 p.m. in the field behind Woodbridge High School. Contestants will heave blocks of scrapple as far as they can — last year, high school track coach Charlie Gibbs threw his block of scrapple 110 feet to claim the men’s division prize and Evonda Rooks, Bridgeville, threw the scrapple 73 feet to win the women’s division. The Mayor’s Scrapple Sling will get under way at 2 p.m. at the entertainment stage. Bridgeville Mayor Joe Conaway will be among those competing for the title, King of Sling. The festival will start Friday afternoon at 4, when Pink Grass, a local, all-female bluegrass band, will take to the stage set up in the large parking lot behind the Bridgeville Fire Hall. At the same time that the women of Pink Grass are striking their first notes, a carnival, set up along Railroad Avenue, will swing into action. And in the food booths that will line the streets, oyster fritters, scrapple sandwiches and apple dumplings will go on sale. See Festival—page 19

Executive Officers from the Delaware Volunteer Firmen’s Association, the Ladies Auxiliary and the Delaware State Fire Commission have joined with Governor Ruth Ann Minner and Lt. Governor John C. Carney in observance of Fire Prevention Week. The theme, this year, is “Practice your Escape Plan.” Each year thousands of people are injured or killed in fires from which they could have escaped unharmed, if they knew and practiced an escape plan in their homes or businesses. In proclaiming the week of October 713 as Fire Prevention Week, members of the Delaware fire service community urge residents to know where their escape routes are at home and at work. “I know where the escape route is in my home,” Minner told an audience at the Seaford fire station. “Fire is a very real concern for all of us, and we should be prepared, no matter where we are.” “We hope that by raising public awareness and educating our citizens, we can reduce the number of injuries and deaths in Delaware due to fire,” said Ron Marvel, president of the DVFA. “Knowing your escape route and having smoke detectors that are operating properly, are two things we can all do to help.” Smoke detectors are available for free at most fire departments and many departments will conduct open houses to help educate the public about fire safety.

City will hold one more workshop on licensing By Lynn R. Parks
Business licensing impact
After hearing from the public about a proposed business and rental licensing program in Seaford, members of the city council want a chance to talk about the proposal among themselves. The council will hold a workshop on the licensing proposal Monday, Oct. 29, 7 p.m. in city hall. The workshop will be open to the public. But no public comment will be heard. “I think that it’s time that we talked about this license among ourselves,” said Councilman Mike Vincent, who suggested the workshop at Tuesday night’s city council meeting. Vincent also suggested that a vote on the licensing proposal be tabled until the meeting after the workshop, Monday, Nov. 12. (The first meeting in November, which would usually be held on the second Tuesday of the month, will be held instead on the second Monday. Members of the council will be attending the annual conference of the National League of Cities Tuesday, Nov. 13, through Saturday, Nov. 17.) Vincent’s suggestion was agreed to by unanimous vote. The proposed business and rental license was first presented to the city council at an October 2006 meeting. Then director of operations Charles Anderson, who has since been promoted to assistant city manager, said that the license would allow the city to ensure that rental units are up to code.
Under the business and rental license proposed by the city, general business licenses would cost $75. A hotel or motel would pay an additional $10 per room. Warehouses and retailers whose facilities are larger than 10,000 square feet would pay $300. Landlords would pay $50 for each apartment they own, $10 per room if they just rent out rooms. Owners of rented storage units would pay $2 per unit. Fees would be paid every year. There would not be an exemption for nonprofit organizations. Assistant city manager Charles Anderson has said that a fee structure such as this one would bring about $153,800 per year into the city. Cost to the city of maintaining the program would be about $75,000, he said.
National 4-H Week The Seaford Blue Jays 4-H Club is starting the 2007-2008 4-H year. Blue Jays are a small, but busy club. Some of the events the members participated in last spring were: Favorite Foods contest, Fashion Revue contest, demonstrations, judging and exhibits at the Delaware Sate Fair. Club members prepared and delivered an Easter meal to an elderly couple. All members attended the Younger Member Weekend county and state 4-H Camps. At the end of the 4-H year, all members completed their project record books which are judged among other county 4-H’ers taking the same projects. The projects that Seaford Blue Jay members took last year were: foods & nutri-

“We can make sure that rental units have smoke detectors, heat and water,” he said. “A lot of times, the only time these things get tested is when we go in and do it. If we can help even one person get heat or running water, this will be worth it.” At that meeting, Councilwoman Grace Peterson and Mayor Ed Butler both spoke in favor of the license. Since then, Councilman Rhea Shannon has also endorsed the license. “We are trying to save the town,” he said at a November 2006 public workshop. tion, clothing, photography, exploring 4H, fishing and woodworking.

In December, when Butler asked the council whether the city should continue to pursue the license, Councilwoman Pat Jones was the only person on the fivemember council to vote no. “Seaford is unique,” Jones said at the time. “If this is one of the things that make us unique, we should keep it that way.” The licensing proposal has met with stiff resistance from the business community. Business owners and landlords have packed two public workshops, complaining that the license is heavy-handed government. Bruce Pollack, who owns rental properties in town, argued during a September public workshop that a rental license and annual inspections constitute unreasonable search and seizure, prohibited by the U.S. Constitution. “Giving that kind of police power to the government opens you up to abuses and bribery problems that you don’t need,” he said. “This is just giving the government another lever to use against the people.” Owners of rental property have warned that any fees would just be passed onto renters, many of whom could not afford them. They have also said that the city has all the laws it needs to ensure good living conditions in rental units. “What benefit am I going to receive from all of this additional taxation?” rental property owner Dick Collison asked at the November workshop. “All you have to do is enforce the laws that you’ve got.”
“These charges should be passed onto people whose properties should be inspected, and I’m sure there are some,” George Farnell, whose real estate company, Callaway, Farnell and Moore, manages Colonial Gardens and Bradford Terrace apartment complexes, said at the September workshop. Representatives of organizations that provide low-income housing have said that their tenants have to endure enough inspections as it is. Several representatives of non-profit groups have asked that they be exempt from any licensing fee. As proposed, the fee for a business license would be $75, $300 for facilities that are larger than 10,000 square feet. “How have you measured the impact this will have on churches and their mission work?” asked Herb Quick, senior warden at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, at a public workshop in September. But other members of the public have warned that, if the license becomes law, there should be no exceptions. “If there are any exceptions, the city is opening itself up to lawsuits,” said Russell Wells, who owns rental properties in town. Anderson and city manager Dolores Slatcher have said that requiring business and rental licenses would make for a better business climate and nicer neighborhoods. “This is just another tool that the city could use” to ensure that properties are up to code, Slatcher said.

Lost World War II submarine is found By Lynn R. Parks The search for the USS Grunion has ended. The World War II submarine, which was assumed lost in August 1942, has been found 65 years later, deep in the Bering Sea, at the tip of the Aleutian Islands. The discovery, made Aug. 23, is the culmination of years of searching by the sons of the sub’s commander, Lt. Comm. Mannert L. Abele. While the body of the vessel long ago collapsed under the weight of the sea, meaning that none of the bodies of the 70 men who were serving on the vessel, or any of their belongings, can be recovered, the discovery of the Grunion is very exciting, said Meryl Kretschmann, Laurel, whose father, Carson Martin, served as the submarine’s chief motor machinist’s mate. “It makes me feel good that they have located the ruins,” said Kretschmann. “I feel that the men would have wanted their families to know where they went down.” She added, however, that the discovery has made no difference in the way she feels about her father, whom she last saw when she was 5. “I wouldn’t say that there’s a sense of peace now,” she said. “War is a terrible thing, and it is still very sad that all these men died.” Finding the ruins of the Grunion also made no difference in the way Kretschmann feels about the Japanese sailors who sank her father’s submarine, she said. “When I was younger, I had a feeling against the enemy,” she said. “But so much time has gone by, and I have come to the realization that there were innocent people on both sides of the war. This happened during war, and war is hell.” Carson Martin was born in Baltimore in 1909 and joined the U.S. Navy in 1927, at the age of 18. He and Kretschmann’s mother, Mildred, were married in 1930 and Kretschmann was born in 1936 in Honolulu, when her father was stationed at Pearl Harbor. By the time Kretschmann was 5, the family, including her brother, Ronald, who was born in 1932, was living in Groton, Conn. Martin was assigned to the Grunion and shipped out for Pearl Harbor, arriving June 20, 1942, just seven months after the U.S. naval base there was attacked by the Japanese. From Pearl Harbor, the USS Grunion was ordered to the Bering Sea, where it was to patrol the waters between the Aleutian Islands and what was then the

Japanese empire. On July 10, it was reassigned to the area north of Kiska, an island at the far eastern tip of the Aleutian chain that had been successfully invaded by the Japanese earlier that summer. According to a history of the Pacific Fleet compiled by the U.S. Navy, there were a number of enemy vessels near Kiska. On July 15, the submarine reported that it had sunk three enemy destroyers. On July 28, during a bombardment of the island by the U.S. Navy, the Grunion again attacked enemy ships and came under fire herself, but sustained no damage. On July 30, the Grunion reported heavy anti-submarine activity near Kiska. That report proved to be the vessel’s last transmission. “She was not contacted or sighted after July 30, despite every effort to do so, and on Aug. 16 was reported lost,” according to the Navy’s history. In 2002, a citizen of Japan who was researching Japanese ships that were sunk during World War II posted information on his Web site about the Kano Maru, a Japanese destroyer that was torpedoed near Kiska on July 31. Yutaka Iwasaki indicated that the submarine that had done the torpedoing and that was subsequently shot and sunk by the Kano Maru was the Grunion. “The Grunion intended to surface and sink [the Kano Maru] by gunfire,” according to the Navy’s history. “Kano Maru had two old 8-centimeter guns on the forecastle and stern. The stern’s gun was malfunctioned by the torpedo shock, but the forecastle gun fired to the [submarine’s] periscope. Thirteen-millimeter guns on the bridge fired as well. Before the sub appeared, a fourth shot from Kano Maru hit the tower of the sub. It is thought the last of the Grunion. The attack had ceased.” Iwasaki was able to pinpoint the location where the Grunion was shot. Last summer, a team of sonar experts hired by Abele’s sons located what they believed was the wreckage of the submarine. The Abeles arranged for this summer’s exploration, to confirm that the wreckage was indeed that of the Grunion. Kretschmann said that divers could not tell what caused the Grunion to sink. The bow of the ship is missing, she said, and researchers believe that it exploded in battle. They will examine the many pictures that divers took of the wreckage to try to determine the exact cause of sinking. “We may never know exactly what happened,” she said. In October, Kretschmann will attend a gathering of family members of the

She is also confident that, with the discovery of the wreckage, the crew will receive the recognition they deserve. “I didn’t want these men to be forgot-

Bridgeville Library plans $2.5 to $3 million project By James Diehl When Kate McEvoy moved from Montgomery County, Md., and retired to Sussex County, she knew right away that she didn’t want to be your typical retiree – she wanted to make a difference in her new community. So when the Bridgeville Library came calling earlier this year to ask for help in their new building campaign, McEvoy, one of the first residents of the Heritage Shores community on Route 13, never even thought about saying no. “The library is very important to all of us in the community, but we realize they wouldn’t need a new library if it wasn’t for all of us [new residents] coming,” McEvoy said. “We just love this community and we love this town.”
McEvoy is the acting president of the Friends of the Bridgeville Library, a group of more than 30 community-minded residents who are working together with library staff to build a new state-of-the-art facility in what used to be the quiet little town of Bridgeville. Paid for in part by the Heritage Shores special tax district, the new 13,491square-foot library comes with a price tag of between $2.5 and $3 million, nearly half of which has already been raised. An aggressive building plan calls for ground to be broken next April with completion tentatively slated for December of 2008. “We want to move as quickly as possible on this. We just want to get it done,” said Karen Johnson, the director of the Continued to page 17

Meet Your Fire Service Volunteers Blades family serves in Fire Company and Auxiliary The Seaford and Laurel Star newspapers continue their series of articles highlighting the men and women who serve as volunteers in the local fire departments. These volunteers work tirelessly providing protection and responding in time of need. We hope the series helps to show our respect for their efforts as we increase community awareness of their sacrifices.
By Donna Dukes-Huston
Crystal Chaffinch French, president of the Blades Volunteer Fire Company’s Ladies’ Auxiliary, knew that she was destined to become involved with this organization. The crucial nudge came from her mother about five years ago. “Now’s the time for you to join,” said Jewell Chaffinch, French’s mother. “We need you.” Chaffinch herself had joined about 12 years earlier. By this time, service in the fire company had become a family tradition. Her husband, Earl Sr., had joined in the early ‘70s and her son, Earl
Jr., joined 24 years ago. Earl Jr., who is a past chief of the company, is also a lifetime member. Earl Sr. is an honorary member. He also served his community as a Blades Town Councilman for 25 years and has recently become a councilman again. John French III, French’s son and Chaffinch’s grandson also joined the company 11 years ago. Both he and Earl Jr. work fulltime for the Emergency Operations Center for Sussex County. Chaffinch’s daughter, Paula Moore, was a member of the first junior firefighter class that the company offered. She later became ambulance captain at Blades and is currently a Sussex County paramedic. She is still a very active member of the Blades company as well. Chaffinch’s other daughter, Linda Wheatley, has been a member of the auxiliary for the past several years. Membership in the auxiliary used to be limited to wives and family members of the company, Chaffinch said. Many years ago they opened it up to anyone in
Sussex County, and membership grew. “The majority of our current 23 members do not have a connection to the company,” Chaffinch said. Membership increased several years ago but has dropped off in recent years. There are no longer any charter members still living, and the average age of the membership now is 60, according to Chaffinch. “The company now is made up of a lot of young, single guys,” French said. Smaller numbers have not discouraged these ladies from continuing to work hard in support of the company. They hold oyster and beef and dumpling dinners once a year, and on the first Sunday of every month they host an all you can eat breakfast from 8-11 a.m. Chaffinch started this three years ago when she was president and they now serve approximately 190 people each month. The fire company holds a car show once a year and the auxiliary serves breakfast and lunch along with homemade ice cream.

They also assist the company at the annual open house. They provide refreshments and help hand out smoke detectors and pamphlets as part of the fire prevention program. They also serve refreshments to the elementary school children who come to the fire house during October for their fire prevention program. The auxiliary is also available

to the community in times of disaster. The Blades Fire Hall served as an official evacuation site during the flood that the Blades and Seaford areas experienced a couple of summers ago. Although both French and Chaffinch were living in areas affected by the flood, they arrived at the fire hall early that morning and stayed late into the night providing evacuees with soup and sandwiches. “I was here and my basement was flooded,” Chaffinch said. In addition to serving two terms as president, Chaffinch has also served on almost every committee. She is currently on the kitchen committee, which is a big responsibility, according to French. “June Downes and I are in charge of buying all the food every month,” Chaffinch said. Both Chaffinch and French urge the need for increased membership and they stress the value of being involved in such an organization. “It’s very satisfying that you can help people.” French said.

Punkin Chunkin contest named in top-100 list of events to experience The American Bus Association designated Punkin Chunkin as one of the association’s top100 events in North America to experience via motorcoach in 2008. The association’s Top 100 Selection Committee evaluated hundreds of events before choosing the top travel destinations. The 2008 top-100 events in North America are published as a supplement to the September/Oc-
tober issue of Destinations magazine. The entire list and event information will be listed at www.buses.org. Originally started in 1986 and held the first weekend after Halloween, the World Championship Punkin Chunkin contest includes a variety of pumpkin-launching devices, including catapults, trebuchets, centrifugal machines and pneumatic air cannons. Contestants compete in divi-
sions with machines of the same type. Currently, the longest distances have been more than 4,300 feet, fired from pneumatic air cannons. This year’s gourdhurtling competition will be held at the new location in Bridgeville, where camping will be available for those who wish to spend the entire weekend onsite. Other Punkin Chunkin events include a carnival area with
amusement rides and food vendors, and a fireworks show. There are also two cooking contests: one for any kind of recipe with pumpkin and another for chili – either with or without pumpkin. This year’s opening-night concert will feature country star Jo Dee Messina. Opening for her will be country artists Joanna Cotton and the group Carolina Rain. Concert tickets are $35 and
available at Harley Davidson of Seaford, the Seaford Chamber of Commerce and the Cape Gazette office in Nassau Commons west of Lewes.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING
With the increasing interest in “consumerism” in healthcare, health advocacy services have become a valuable employee benefit. Employers recognize that professional support services are vitally needed to help employees and family members successfully navigate the complexities of healthcare and health insurance. Many employers find it easier, more efficient, and cost effective to introduce a health advocacy company, relieving overburdened HR and benefits staff of the need to deal with these difficult issues. Dr. Abbie Leibowitz will discuss the drivers of medical cost increases, con-

Effort expands to improve health of children By Carol Kinsley If you haven't noticed yet, there's an effort afoot to "Make Delaware's Kids the Healthiest in the Nation." Perhaps you've seen television commercials with children touting the slogan "5-21 Almost None!" The numbers stand for a daily course of five fruits and vegetables, two hours or less of screen time (television and video games), one hour of physical activity and almost no sugary beverages such as sodas. More than one third of Delaware's children and youth are overweight, and childhood obesity can lead to devastating, longterm health risks. The nationwide problem has been described by the Centers for Disease Control as "the most significant epidemic to address this nation's children." Nemours Health and Prevention Services has launched a campaign to improve the motivation, opportunity and ability for children to eat right and be more physically active. Nemours, a non-profit organization based in Newark, has been reaching out for the past three years to schools, child care centers, community centers and doctors' offices to improve the ability of children to make healthy choices. Recognizing that "Kids Can't Do It Alone," NHPS has focused on policy and practice changes such as replacing sugary sodas with water or 100 percent fruit juice, revising snack and lunch menus to remove high sugar and high fat foods and add a variety of healthier choices, and emphasizing the importance of physical activity. Pledging to personally support this effort, state leaders gathered in several sites across the state October 1 through 3 to celebrate the efforts that have already been made toward the goal of making Delaware children the healthiest in the nation. Addressing a gathering at Del Tech's Owens campus in Georgetown, John Hollis, director of community relations for Nemours, said the Child Development Center at Del Tech was one of the first partners in the campaign.

Nemours provided resources such as lesson plans and playground equipment for the center which provides an observation and learning opportunity for college students as well as preschoolers. Hollis acknowledged the efforts of legislative leaders, including state Senators Thurman Adams and Robert Venables and state Representatives Ben Ewing, Dan Short and George Bunting, who sponsored a joint resolution pledging support of the campaign. Verna Thompson of the Delaware Department of Education's Early Success program said the Nemours campaign matches components of Early Success, which holds that readiness of families, schools, early care and education programs and communities add up to the readiness of children to succeed when they enter school. "It is important to intervene early. The Nemours campaign will help create a healthy lifestyle which will provide a permanent solution to the problem of obesity,” Thompson said. Peggy Geisler, director of the 110member Sussex Child Health Promotion Coalition which was begun a year ago, said it's the community itself that raises healthy kids. The coalition is working to make sure exercise is accessible and healthy food is available in stores and affordable. To ensure that children won't turn up their noses at those healthy foods, Telemon Head Start has begun focusing on four different fruits and vegetables each month. On "market day," every child is able to take home one of those food choices along with recipes quickly provided by the staff. Telemon has made a lot of changes, said Doris Gonzales. The 5-2-1 Almost None program has been incorporated in all parts of the curriculum, but it has not been easy to implement. "We've lost some staff," she explained, including one cook who wasn't willing to prepare foods from scratch rather than use pre-cooked foods such as chicken nuggets. Bowls of candy on teachers' desks were banned. "It met a lot of resistance, but today (the staff) appreciate our efforts," Gonzales continued. Parents, also trained on the 5-2-1 concept, report touching testimonials about children requesting exercise and "those green trees with cheese we eat at school" (broccoli). The effort has spread beyond Delaware. Telemon, a corporation operating in 12 states, is trying to promote wellness at all its sites. At a corporate meeting, Gonzales introduced 5-2-1 and the corporation has started using those ideas everywhere. To wrap up the day's program, children from the local Telemon Head Start joined four-year-olds from the Child Development Center in performance of the "Barnyard Dance" with audience participation. But then a surprise — Capt. Willie of WBOC landed his helicopter nearby, bringing a new friend, a "healthy pirate" named Capt. Jim, bearing apples and watermelon for the kids.

years ago, when I first became a mother. I had rarely held a baby before, had never changed a diaper, had never calmed someone else’s cries or sated someone else’s demanding hunger. I managed to stumble along, from babyhood through college, with the help of many good books and under the guidance, I must admit, of my children, who always seemed much wiser than I was. So what advice would they give me now? “Don’t worry,” my daughter, who after all has never been a wife before, has already told me. “It will all work out.” “I’m sure you will do fine,” my son would probably say if I confided my fears to him. Then, “Did you get to see the Red Sox play?” My own mother, who by the way is an excellent mother-in-law, told me when my son went off to college that my husband and I would come to accept our emptier house. “It may seem strange now, but you will get used to it,” she said. As usual, she was right. Similarly, I suppose I will adjust to being a mother-inlaw. And I guess I will also adjust to having a married daughter who lives 1,500 miles away and who shops in places I have never been and knows people I have never met. My son, after all, lives 3,000 miles away, shops in places I have never been and knows people I have never met. Being a mother-in-law, I expect, will be easy in comparison to that.

Group of women build four bedroom Habitat home On Oct. 6 at 3 p.m. the Perez-Mazariegos partner family received the keys to their Habitat home in Sussex County Habitat for Humanity’s Concord Village in Seaford. The public was invited to the ceremony, aptly titled a Habitation, symbolizing the transfer of ownership from the Habitat affiliate to the partner families. Enrique Perez and Sarah Mazariegos and their five children received the key to their four-bedroom home on lot 16 in the Village. The home, started in April, was built entirely by women volunteers, men advisors, local sponsors, churches, organizations and other volunteers.

Delaware…and Sussex County is the most difficult area in which to purchase affordable housing. In order to afford a home at the median purchase price of $270,000, a household median income of $54,200 is required. The median annual wage in Sussex County is $24,066.” Habitat homeowners typically have incomes that are 30-50% of the area’s median income. Due to Habitat’s no-profit, no-interest loans and because houses are built principally by volunteers and sponsors, mortgage payments can be kept reasonably low for those families unable to obtain conventional financing for a home. Two-parent partner families are required to invest 500 hours of “sweat equity” – time spent building their own home or other Habitat homes – make a down payment, and pay closing costs. The homeowners’ mortgage payments then go into Habitat’s "Fund for Humanity" that allows building more houses with more families in the future. Executive Director, Kevin Gilmore, comments: “Home ownership fosters stronger communities, anchors families, and creates for the families a sense of continuity that is

The Women Build Project The Women Build Project empowers women to build Habitat for Humanity homes enabling them to positively impact the lives of children by making homeownership a present reality for families. Christine Davis, Bridgeville home renovator, and the Women Build construction manager, states: “Women are often intimidated on a construction site. In the comfortable environment of the Women Build site, they quickly learned construction skills and discovered how easy building can be. Another positive aspect is that when women come together in a supportive environment, they feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment and increased self-esteem. The core group of men volunteers were wonderful about guiding us without stepping on our toes." Wendy Daudt, Women Build Project leader, commented: “Women by nature are nurturers. Almost from the first moment that Habitat’s Women Build Project was announced, many women signed up to volunteer.”

Grant provided by Department of Justice to combat child exploitation The state of Delaware has been awarded a $250,000 grant to combat online child sexual exploitation. The grant is provided through the U.S. Department of Justice Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) program and will be used by the Delaware ICAC Task Force to pursue, investigate and prosecute internet child exploitation and victimization. The Delaware ICAC Task Force, whose members include the Delaware Department of Justice and Delaware State Police, with support from the United
States Attorney’s Office, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, is a multiagency, multi-jurisdictional, statewide task force responsible for coordinating online child exploitation investigations and prosecutions across the state. “With the support of the ICAC Task Force and the newly acquired grant funds, Delaware law enforcement will be able to do more to protect our children from the dangerous predators who use the Internet and other technology to exploit them,” said David B.
Mitchell, Secretary of the Delaware Department of Safety and Homeland Security. “These cases require highly skilled, highly trained, and highly equipped officers who are able to extract valuable evidence from electronic devices. This new funding will help us acquire the training and technology needed to keep pace with child predators.” Federal ICAC grants are provided to help state and local law enforcement agencies respond to technology-facilitated exploitation of children, including online
enticement and child pornography. They are intended to support forensic and investigative components, training and technical assistance, victim services, and community education. Delaware now joins a national network of 56 task forces funded by the Department’s Office of Justice Programs. That network comprises a critical component of the Department’s Project Safe Childhood, which partners federal, state and local law enforcement with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and other non-profit groups and
education programs to wage a comprehensive and coordinated attack against on-line predators. The grant will be used by Delaware’s ICAC Task Force between now and Dec. 31, 2008 to purchase state-of-the-art technology equipment and software; facilitate training for investigators and prosecutors to enhance their ability to combat technology-facilitated crimes against children; support ongoing statewide internet safety educational campaigns; and launch additional statewide educational and prevention programs.
Conference to address employment issues
Employers in Sussex County are facing many challenges in the next few years in finding employees who meet the demands of the growing business community. As the demographics of Sussex County are changing, employees who are skilled and ready to work are in high demand, and this trend will only continue to grow. Jobs have grown at a fast pace in Sussex County compared to Kent and New Castle County, but the pool of potential employees has started to shrink. Employers continue to face the significant problem of recruiting employees in the highly skilled occupations from large urban centers to the rural atmosphere of Sussex. At the same time, Sussex County has experienced a growth in the price of housing that precludes many potential employees from affording a home when they move to the area. How do we solve these challenges? What other trends can we look for in the future? Delaware Technical and Community College is hosting the Sussex Today and Tomorrow Conference on Wednesday, Oct. 31 in Georgetown. This conference fosters collaboration between Sussex County businesses and residents to identify key issues and to begin the dialogue on how we can work together to make Sussex County continue to grow and prosper.
Seniors urged to use direct deposit
October is National Crime Prevention Month and Delaware State Treasurer Jack Markell urges Delaware seniors who receive Social Security and federal benefit recipients to safeguard their money and identities by switching to direct deposit. The Delaware Go-Direct! campaign, which is sponsored by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Federal Reserve Banks and the Delaware Office of the State Treasurer is an outreach program designed to encourage senior citizens, people with disabilities and others who receive Social Security and other federal benefits to make the switch to direct deposit. According to the United States Treasury, about 57,000 Treasury-issued checks issued in 2006 were forged, totaling more than $54 million federal dollars in estimated value. In addition to increased safety, direct deposit saves taxpayers money. The U.S. Treasury reports that more than 288,000 Delawareans receive benefit check payments. If those checks were converted to direct deposit, taxpayers could save nearly $230,000 annually. Nationally, more than 150 million checks are mailed to recipients each year, and if those checks were converted to direct deposit, it could save taxpayers approximately $120 million every year.

Seaford Christian Academy fields first girl’s soccer team
SQUARE
ORANGE
By Lynn R. Parks For the first time in its 34-year history, the Seaford Christian Academy is fielding a girl’s soccer team. And the 15-girl team has two wins under its belt. “We are doing better than I thought we would,” said Taylor Fooks, Federalsburg, Md., an eighth-grader whose penalty shot won Monday night’s game against Worcester Preparatory School. “I didn’t think we would win any games and we’ve already won two.” Taylor was the force behind getting the team started, said her mother, Sheila Fooks. Fooks coaches the team with John Phillips, whose two daughters, Jordan and Jamie, are on the team. “This was really Taylor’s vision,” Fooks said. “She has been playing soccer since she was 5 and she wanted a school team with all her friends.” Fooks said that the school chose to have a fall season in order to not interfere with the spring-season softball. Maryland schools play girls’ soccer in the fall and Delaware schools play it in the spring. Only one girl on the fledgling team is a senior. Seven teammates are in the eighth grade. “We have a young team,” Fooks said. “And the girls are really getting better as we go along.” Taylor, who also plays basketball and softball, said that she loves soccer because she loves to run. “I also like to be aggressive, and you can be aggressive on the soccer field,” she added. Caitlin Smith, an eighth-grader, said that she enjoys being a part of the team because she likes being with her friends. “And I like to help them out,” she added. “I just like doing something with

school spirit,” added Katie Tilghman, also in the eighth grade. “And I like just having fun. Being on a soccer team is really exciting. I hope that I can play for a while, even in college.” Eighth-grader Hristina Seretis said that she even enjoys the team’s practices. “I like getting my energy out,” she said. “The girls are really enjoying it,” coach Fooks said. “Some of the girls have never played a sport, and they have really come together and bonded. We have friends on the field who would not have been friends without the sport. There is a feeling of camaraderie, and the girls all get the feeling that they are part of something.”

Before age five, every room is a classroom. Fun learning opportunities are everywhere. Simple things like counting or identifying shapes activate a child’s learning ability. And the earlier parents take action, the better; because children entering school more prepared have higher self-esteem and a better chance at a successful life. That’s why PNC founded Grow Up Great, a 10-year, $100 million program to help prepare young children for school through grants, advocacy, volunteerism and tips for parents. Together, we can work with our communities so an entire generation won’t just grow up... but grow up great.

Del Tech teaches backpack safety As part of National School Backpack Awareness Day, Del Tech students visited the common area of Sussex Tech recently, weighing students with and without their backpacks and giving them tips on how to avoid future back problems. Information from the American Occupational Therapy Association, Inc., suggests a student should never carry more than 15% of their body weight in their backpack. They also recommend to load heaviest items closest to the student’s back and to arrange books and materials so they won’t slide around in the backpack. It’s estimated that more than 40 million students in the United States carry school backpacks, resulting in more than 7,000 emergency room visits in 2001. A 2001 study conducted by the Indian Journal of Pediatrics found 60% of American students between the ages of 9 and 20 reported chronic back pain related to backpacks.

schools in Delaware from Jan. through March 2007. Since Delaware is such a small state and a certain sample size is needed for accurate results, all Delaware public fourth and eighth grade schools were part of the NAEP sample. However, since fourth grade NAEP only assessed reading and mathematics, not all fourth grade students participated in NAEP this year. Eighth grade NAEP assessed three subject areas - reading, math or writing and all eighth grade students were selected for NAEP participation. NAEP Mathematics Delaware was one of fourteen states that had significant increases in both grades in math. In grade four math, Delaware had an average scale score of 242. This two point gain from 2005 continues to surpass the national scale score of 239. Today’s results also showed significant increases in average scale scores for female, black, hispanic and low income subgroups. In grade eight math, Delaware had an average scale score of 283, also a two point gain, which remains higher than the national average of 280.
TURN IN A TAGGER ONLINE. Crime Stoppers and Law Enforcement are continuing their campaign against graffiti by announcing a new and innovative way to submit graffiti related crime tips to Crime Stoppers. Citizens can go to www.tipsline.org/tagger to submit tips about "taggers" - people who are guilty of graffiti or "tagging" your property - online.
NAEP Reading With one point decreases that were not statistically significant at both fourth and eighth grade, Delaware was one of 30 states, which saw NAEP Reading scores remain stable from 2005 to 2007. However, even with national increases this year in reading, Delaware remains above the national public average with an average scale score of 225 compared to 220. In grade eight, Delaware continued to remain
above the national figures with an average score of 265 compared to 261 nationally. “The results of the 2007 NAEP assessment are encouraging. We have either held our own on national comparisons or have shown growth,” said Secretary of Education Valerie A. Woodruff.
Sussex Tech invited to Capitol Hill
Sussex Technical High School was honored to be one of only two public high schools in the nation to be invited to be a presenter at the recent American Youth Policy Forum in Washington, D.C. This was the final event in a series of forums on the role of career and technical education in high school reform. Held on Capitol Hill, each school discussed how career and technical education has been used as a lever for reform using the represented high school as a case study. Joining Sussex Technical High School was the Health Careers Academy at Palmdale High School, Calif. Addressing an audience primarily comprised of policymakers, Dr. Michael Owens, Delaware associate secretary of education, and Dr. Patrick Savini, superintendent of Sussex Technical School District, told how in Delaware, career and technical education has been critical to the state’s overall plan for high school reform. They explained that all students are required to take a planned program of at least three sequenced courses designed to develop skills and knowledge in a career pathway. For students interested in more intensive exploration, there are six comprehensive vocational high schools throughout the state.

Bridgeville Library project Continued from page five
Bridgeville Library. “Our current library was built in 1866 and is outdated. We really need a new one.” Originally built as the First Presbyterian Church of Bridgeville, the current town library is less than 2,500 square feet with only 1,500 square feet available to the public. There are more than 25,000 total items in the library, approximately 75 percent of which are books available for public use. While old and admittedly past its prime, the old library, like all real estate in the area, has grown significantly in value over the last decade. Helping in the fundraising is the fact that the historic structure on Market Street is owned outright by the library and is valued at just over $200,000. Add to that the more than $700,000 available through the special tax district, the $55,000 the library has in the bank and the money promised by the state of Delaware and Johnson feels a targeted completion date of late 2008 is certainly possible. “As long as everything goes as planned, I believe we can do it,” Johnson said. “We’ve been able to do this so quickly because of Heritage Shores. The developer of the project said he would help construct a library if the town allowed him to come in and build. “That’s also why the land was donated.” An acre-and-a-half of land near the Bridgeville Little League Park on South Cannon Street will be the site of the new library if all goes according to plan, which is where the support of the Friends comes in. The function of the Friends of the Bridgeville Library is to assist the library in developing programs and collections to meet current community needs, promoting the services, resources and programming available through the library and advocating for library funding through donations, endowments and grants. But it’s really about so much more than that. A nearly 50-50 mix of long-time Bridgeville residents and so-called “newbies,” as McEvoy calls herself and others who have recently moved to the area, the
Friends want to be an integral part of the new library project and hope to help forge a new identity for the growing town. “Between the old town Bridgeville residents and us new folks from Heritage Shores, we have a lot of talent and expertise in a lot of areas and we’re hoping to utilize technology to help children learn to read,” McEvoy said. “We have a great group of people who love this town and we’ve all been getting along wonderfully. We want to help this library become a leader in Sussex County.” McEvoy said the Friends hope to add many more computers to the library, as well as age-specific reading rooms for children, teenagers and adults. She admits the timetable to get a completed library by the end of 2008 may be just a tad optimistic, but having even a partial library would be a step in the right direction. “I’ve been visiting other libraries in the county and we’re one of the very smallest so I’m excited about expanding,” McEvoy said. “I think our timetable is real optimistic but we are hoping to move quickly and we’d like to open at least a part of the new library by the end of next year. Even that would be bigger than the current library.” This was the third time in recent years library personnel has tried to enlist the public’s support for forming a Friend’s group. The difference this time, according to Johnson, was concrete plans for the building of a new facility. “We knew we were going into a building project and knew we would need a Friend’s group to help us along the way,” Johnson said. “We had tried it before, but it just never worked out for us. But the fact that we’re going into a building project this time helped. “It’s really working out this time. The residents of Heritage Shores are truly excited to be a part of this, and we’re extremely happy about that.” The Friends of the Bridgeville Library will be holding a book sale in front of the library at this weekend’s Apple Scrapple Festival to raise funds for the new structure. To donate to the ongoing building fund, call the Bridgeville Public Library at 3377401.

For example, there was the time, one of the few times that I actually played during game time, that my coach told me to “stay under the basket.” Little did I realize that he meant this to happen only while the ball was being played at that end of the court. So, even though the action was on the opposite end of the court, I could still be found standing under the basket all by myself, staring up at the rim as if I was expecting Jesus to return.

Festival Continued from page one
The two-day festival will go through Saturday night, closing with a street dance featuring the music of “Who’s Ya Daddie?” In between, there will be craft fairs, a health fair, performances by Native American dancers, a car show and a motorcycle rally. Most of the proceeds will benefit non-profit organizations. Following Pink Grass, Cathy Gorman will perform. At 7 p.m., local favorite the Funsters will take to the stage, playing hits from the 1960s and 1970s. The activities will start at 7 Saturday morning when the allyou-can-eat breakfast, served by the United Methodist Men of Union United Methodist Church, starts. The breakfast will go until 11 a.m. At 9 a.m., the annual 5K Hogg Jogg will get under way. For the first time, the run will be held at the Woodbridge School District Athletic Complex on Adams Road. For information about the run, call coordinator Rob Perciful, 337-3176. Also at 9 a.m., most of the festival attractions, including the food court and the carnival, will open. A trade show will be set up along Delaware Avenue and Laws Street, featuring information about area businesses. Also on Delaware Avenue will be the festival’s car show, sponsored by the Southern Delaware Street Rod Association. Typically, about 300 vehicles participate in the show. The health and safety fair will be set up in the Bridgeville Fire Hall. Festival chairwoman Bonny Workman said that this year’s fair will be bigger than ever before. The festival’s first motorcycle show, the Pig Out, will start at 10 a.m. at Cannon Cold Storage, at the intersection of West Market Street and U.S. 404. Sponsor is Harley-Davidson of Seaford. All proceeds from the bike show will benefit the Woodbridge School District. The profits will be divided between the district’s endowed scholarship fund and its school uniform assistance program. The Apple-Scrapple Festival will feature three craft shows. Booths will be set up along Railroad Avenue and Walnut Street in the festival’s outdoor craft show. St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, William Street, will hold its annual craft show. And Trinity United Methodist Church west of Bridgeville will hold its craft show at Woodbridge High School. An old-fashioned tractor pull will be held in an empty field on Wesley Church Road, just west of town, starting at 11 a.m. Registration starts at 9 a.m. Chairman Jeff Mitchell expects the pull to attract about 60 tractors and for the event to feature about 100 pulls. Tractors will be divided into two classes: tractors built in 1959 and before, and tractors
built from 1960 through 1972. But if a newer tractor shows up, “we will find some way to let him pull,” Mitchell said. “We aim to please.” Mitchell expects the pull to last until about 5 p.m. Back by popular demand will be Dynamite Championship Wrestling. The ring will be set up at Delaware Avenue and William Street and wrestlers will compete from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For com-
plete information, you may visit www.dcwprowrestling.com. The Apple-Scrapple Festival’s annual scrapple carving contest will start at 11 a.m. near the entertainment stage. Hopeful contestants will be given 1-pound blocks of scrapple and allowed to sculpt out of it whatever their imaginations come up with. Throughout the day, bands will perform on the stage. Everett Warrington and the No-Name
Band will play from 9:15 to 10:15. The festival’s talent show will be held from 10:30 to 11:30 and Sticky Situation will play from 11:30 to 1:30. At 3 p.m., after the Scrapple Sling and presentation of awards from the car show, Cherry Bud will take to the stage and play until 4 p.m. 5.01 will play from 4:30 to 6:30 and Who’s Ya Daddie will take the stage at 7 p.m. Also throughout the day, chil-

Bridgeville condemns Church Street property By Mike McClure The Bridgeville Commisson held a public hearing on the proposed condemnation of the property located on 40 Church Street. The Commission also discussed the upcoming Apple-Scrapple Festival and Bridgeville Charity golf tournament during Monday’s meeting. Alfonzo Blackwood, Jr., a part owner of the 40 Church Street property, was present for the public hearing. Blackwood told the Commission that he wanted to upgrade the former dry cleaning building located on the property and bring it up to town standards so he can use it as storage for his business. But he also told the Commission that the other members of the family who also own the property are not willing to help pay for the renovations. Blackwood asked the Commission for a one year permit to bring the structure up to code. The most the Commission was willing to offer was 90 days. Commission President Joe Conaway asked Blackwood if he would be in a position to do something with the property in 90 days. Commissioner Bill Jefferson said the walls would have to be torn down due to structural cracks and new walls would need to be constructed. Commissioner Pat Correll suggested that Blackwood should buy a storage building rather than spending the money trying to bring the building up to code. The Commission voted, 5-0, to condemn
the property and seek demolition of the buildings. The Commission also voted to approve the Apple-Scrapple food vendor list. A 2001 ordinance requires all festival vendors to be licensed. The annual AppleScrapple festival takes place this weekend. The first annual Bridgeville Charity golf tournament will be held this Friday. Conaway reported that 34 foursomes will play in the tournament, which will donate $8,000 to the Bridgeville Kiwanis, Bridgeville Lions Club, and the Bridgeville Senior Center. A clinic with Heritage Shores head pro Jason Diamond will take place at 9 a.m. followed by the tournament at 10 a.m. Town Manager Bonnie Walls called the town clean up day a success. The clean up took place on September 29. Walls also reported that the number of items that were collected is down from previous clean up days. The town is currently taking bids for the town’s trash collection. Bids for the three year contract are due Nov. 1 at 3:30 p.m. The Bridgeville Lions Club approved the town’s request for help with putting house numbers on all the houses in town. All new houses and existing houses that don’t have numbers need to have reflective numbers. Conaway reported that the town’s sexual predator ordinance was recently used to arrest an unregistered offender who was

escorted out of town. The individual was living in an area that is prohibited for sexual offenders. “The ordinance works and we eliminated from our midst the kind of people that don’t match our criteria ‘if you lived here you'd be home’, said Conaway” The town will celebrate Halloween on
Wednesday, Oct. 31 from 6-8 p.m. (children 12 and under). The Lions Club will also have a party at 8 p.m. at the Historical Society Park. The Commission voted to proclaim Nov. 14 as World Diabetes Day. The Commission’s November meeting has been moved to Monday, Nov. 5 at 7 p.m.

MORNING STAR • OCTOBER 11 - 17, 2007
Health A common occurrence is now a concern By Anthony Policastro, M.D In the 1950's Drs. Hertig and Rock did a study on pregnancy. They followed thousands of women over a period of years. Their findings were surprising. They found that for every 100 conceptions, 75% did not implant. They were washed out with the next pregnancy. Sometimes, there was just a normal period. Sometimes the period was a few days late. In either case all that the woman knew was that she had her period that month. The remaining 25% did go on to pregnancy. Of those about 1 out of 5 would end in an early miscarriage. Thus pregnancy was the exception rather than the rule. In the 1950's, it did not matter most of the time. Women were told to see their physicians two weeks after a missed period to get a pregnancy test. The 75% that ended earlier than that would never result in a visit to the obstetrician. No one would ever know that there was a very early miscarriage.
Now however, you may get a positive pregnancy test before the early miscarriage. The result is very different psychologically. Times have changed. The first change is the ability to do a home pregnancy test. This allowed the woman to check for pregnancy at home before making the appointment with the obstetrician. The test was usually done at about the two week point because it was not sensitive enough to be positive prior to that. The second change had to do with the fact that pregnancy tests have become more and more sensitive. They can pick up evidence of pregnancy at a very early stage.

of the 75% who have an early miscarriage. This creates a significant issue. In the old days, if you had an early miscarriage, you just thought your period was late. Now however, you may get a positive pregnancy test before the early miscarriage. The result is very different psychologically. We go from nothing more than a late period to a lost pregnancy. Such a loss creates the usual psychological dealing with loss. The process includes denial, anger, bargaining, mourning and acceptance. Most women go through the process quickly. They handle the grieving and move on. However, others will have the kinds of psychological difficulties that are common with other kinds of losses. The result may be depression. It may be anxiety. There may be other symptoms. Current home pregnancy testing can be a good thing. However, it might lead to too much information too early in a pregnancy that will not survive. With 75% of pregnancies ending like this, it is a lot more common than many people think.

IN MEMORY
BLANCHE MASON Sept. 3, 1917
Oct. 14, 2005
The Memory of a Wonderful Mom is such a precious thing. As I think back on our time together, Death wasn’t your ending but only your beginning with Christ Lord Jesus. Absent from the body, present with the Lord. A mother is supposed to be just as precious to the child as well as the child to the Mother, I wonder how many children feel that way about their Mom? As far as myself, I know what I lost and what Heaven gained. Most children will not ever experience that kind of love, kindness, and caring; but I did. What a gift! And I will miss you for all eternity, keep me in your prayers Mom that I can be with you and Jesus one Day! Until we meet again, Thanks for Everything you did for Me.
Love Always, Kevin

The American Legion Post 19 in Laurel has asked me a couple of times to mention in my column its Sunday 11 a.m. service on the 11th of November, Veterans Day, at the post. They are asking for understanding and prayers for this service, as it is always held on that date and that time, of course. Everyone is invited and Pastor Charles Covington, a well-known former Laurel citizen, will be the featured speaker. Legion historian Jim Allen says they hope this will be a most special service for everyone. Remember Ed Okonowicz, the noted storyteller who visited Laurel Library last year? He is coming for a return visit, on Oct. 24, at 7 p.m., with “Tales Tombstones Tell.” His talk is sponsored by the Delaware Humanities Forum and this is a night you and your family can really enjoy together. Best of all, it’s free and you will remember it much longer than that $7 movie.

Speaking of antiques, I hear that Connie Whaley is taking husband Dick, “ol’ sure shot,” to the Laurel antique appraisal show on Saturday, Oct. 13, at St. Philip’s Episcopal Church. Yes, he’s going in for a 100,000-mile appraisal. If he goes up for auction, there will certainly be a lot of silent bids. Just kidding about my buddy Dick, of course, but in a round-about way I’m trying to tell you about the antique appraisals that day. That is sure to be fun. David’s Bagel Café in Seaford (in the former site of the Video Den) is to open by the end of October. Kelli and David Leach are opening the café and although it is their first experience in the restaurant field, I can tell you they have the magic ingredient for success — enthusiasm. That tells you a lot, doesn’t it? They have completely gone over the inside and it looks like a place for special re-
laxation for all their customers. David says it will be a family-oriented business with help from several members of their family. “We are here to be a part of the community, starting at 6 a.m. every morning,” he said. Do you remember Leah Gray, the 8year-old fiddle player who stole the show at our 4th of July Talent Sow and later appeared as a guest? She is now 13 and working on a bluegrass compact disc. She lives in Brentwood, Tenn., with her parents, Dawn and Joe Gray. Her grandparents are Laurel residents, Norris and Jean Hudson. St. Philip’s Episcopal Church in Laurel held its annual Blessing of the Animals service at Old Christ Church on Sunday, Oct. 9. There were perhaps 40 to 50 pets (I am guessing). It was a very heartwarming experience that you certainly felt if you were there. Larry Allen and I sat in a pew next to Tom Fergeson and his 7-year-old mixed Lab, Mitsi, who were in the next pew. Mitsi put her head on the top of the wooden family enclosure to see all that was going on and like most pets, made an instant friendship. And as she looked out the window at the falling October leaves, a sure sign of fall, I could not help but think of King. King was Laurel’s best-known friend and pet in the 1950s. He belonged to Ben and Doug Horner on 4th Street, but King
was all over town and probably set a Guiness record for most petting by a town. He would follow Doug to the many things he was involved with and became just a big part of Laurel. Doug would often head for home, but King, a huge black Lab, would often remain behind for a few extra pets and attention. King could be seen all over Laurel and his name was known by everyone. I guess that’s the impression that humbleness can bring. Doug, I can see King now as he made his rounds. The Hallmark Company for years has used the logo that promises instant recognition, “When you Care Enough to Send the Very Best,” and I believed it. But now doubt has crept across my mind, as a bunch of those “flea market rascals” have had the nerve to send me sympathy cards in view of the recent events concerning the Phillies. I know Paul Davis did not come up with this by himself, so I have taken all those names on the card and filed them in my memory bank. Yes, Phillies fans have a long memory, don’t they, Marvin Adams? Hope my buddy Bill Callaway from Delmar is doing better. A devoted Delmar and Phillies fan, he is sure to be missed at the football games. See you at the historical society auction on Saturday.

The boys’ team tallied 249 points and placed 11th out of 13 teams while the girls had 282 points and finished 16th.

The Wilmer-Tull Varsity Game field and the JV fields are being upgraded through a joint effort of the Seaford Hockey Boosters and the Seaford School District. Plans are to install a new underground sprinkler system on Wilmer-Tull game field and the adjacent JV field and then re-seed both fields. The Seaford Hockey Boosters have held Play Day fundraisers for the last four years and are working closely with the school district in the coordination of the state of the art underground irrigation system. The booster parents are supplying funds as well as labor to install the system at the end of this hockey season. The total cost of the system is approximately $12,000. A new “Friends of Seaford Field Hockey” sign will be erected at the field to help raise the final funds needed to complete the field improvements. Friends can agree to be platinum sponsors for $100, gold sponsors for $50, or silver sponsors for $25. All Friends will have their name on the new sign. All former players, coaches and supporters are urged to be involved. A dedication will be held at the beginning of the 2008 season. If you need more information you can contact any varsity or JV hockey player, booster co-presidents Paul Bradham (629-8532) and Lisa Miller (628-9564) or Jack Riddle (629-5138). You can e-mail the Seaford Hockey Boosters at sfdhockeyplayday@aol.com.

BETWEEN THE LINES By Gene Bleile, Seaford Sports reb60315@yahoo.com
When you root for the Phillies, you endure frustration, disappointment, and heartache Each Monday morning, since the beginning of the baseball season, I have sat down with Mike McClure (my editor) at his desk and while he uploads my weekly stories and photos from my portable zip drive, we talk about area sports teams. Before too long the conversation usually turns to the Phillies, since Mike is a fan also. Sometimes, another avid fan at the Star, Pat Murphy (advertising/editorial) passes by and all three of us discuss the Phillies’ recent weekly adventures. It often turns into what I might call group therapy time, because we all share a common feeling of frustration, disappointment and heartache. It feels good to vent to each other about the Phillies recent loss, pitching woes and who is on the DL (disabled list). This past week (and weekend), the Phillies handed us and every long time fan, the newest frustration, disappointment and heartache, by losing three straight games to the Colorado Rockies. Those losses not only were a shock and eliminated us from the playoffs, but as a team they batted only .175, struck out over 25 times and scored a total of only eight runs. Since their last NL East title in 1993, this performance left a lot to be desired. So to bring the Phillies 2007 season to a close, here is my take on the year’s good news and bad news. Good news: In spring training, shortstop Jimmy Rollins predicted the Phillies were the team to beat in the NL East. (At times, Mike, Pat and I thought he was had lost his mind). He was right. Bad News: The Phillies used 28 different pitchers this season, but somehow
managed to win the NL East title on the last day of the season. They should have finished 10 games ahead of the pack. Good News: The Phillies beat the Mets by one game in the standings to win the NL East. Bad News: Pitcher Freddy Garcia signed a multimillion dollar contract and won one game and lost five. He is questionable to return next year. Good News: Shortstop Jimmy Rollins hit 30 home runs, had 94 RBI and stole 41 bases to be a top contender for National League MVP. Bad News: The Rockies Matt Holliday will probably win the NL MVP (batting average .340, home runs 36 and RBI 137) helped by the sweep of the Phillies in the playoffs. Good news: First baseman Ryan Howard had 47 home runs and 136 RBI for the regular season. Bad News: In 12 at bats against the Rockies, he had seven strikeouts. Good News: Aaron Rowand played the best center field for the Phillies, since Lenny Dykstra and had a great offensive year, especially in clutch situations. Bad News: Rowand batted only .182 in the playoffs and will be a free agent next year. This list could go on and on, but to spare everyone the misery in print, I will close with one last thought. Good News: After all is said and done, I am proud to be a Phillies fan (since 1954) and enjoyed the thrilling pennant race against the Mets. (Our Monday therapy sessions were fun too.) Bad News: You might be an Orioles fan!

Woodbridge varsity soccer team nets a pair of goals in road loss to Delmar By Mike McClure The Delmar varsity soccer team scored four second half goals to pull away from Woodbridge, 8-2, last Thursday in Delmar. Denny Murray opened the scoring for the Wildcats with Seth Figgs adding a goal off a feed from Frank VanGessel. Woodbridge’s Derek Nennstiehl made it 21 with over 24 minutes left in the first half. Van Gessel scored with over 11 minutes left before Nennstiehl scored off a pass from Dustin Richards four minutes later to make it 3-2. Raider defender Nathan Rathbone and goalie Reuss Idler, who moved to the net after the second
Delmar goal, each made stops before Murray scored off a header by Zach Bettes for a 4-2 Delmar advantage at the half. Cody Webster, VanGessel, Corey Phillips, and Bettes had assists for Delmar in the first half. The Wildcats out-shot the Raiders, 18-2. Brady Scott scored off a feed from Webster, Murray picked up a hat trick with his third goal, and Jared Rittenhouse picked up a goal and an assist in the second half to pace Delmar to an 8-2 victory. Delmar held a 28-2 advantage in shots and an 8-2 advantage in corners. Webster dished out three assists while VanGessel, Rittenhouse, Phillips, and Bettes each had one.

Delmar field hockey team blanks Woodbridge, 7-0 The Delmar varsity field hockey team took 40 shots on goal and connected for seven goals in a 7-0 home win over Woodbridge last Thursday. Katie McMahon opened the scoring for the Wildcats on a feed from Haley Keenan to make it 1-0 with 23:16 left in the half. McMahon added an unassisted goal at 6:03 before Mallory Elliott found Hali Ramey with 31 seconds left to give Delmar a 3-0 lead through one half of play. Delmar out-shot Woodbridge, 17-2, and held a 3-2 edge in corners in the first half. Raider goalie Kelli Warner recorded 12 saves while Delmar goalie Shannon Wilson had two saves. In the second half, Ramey took another pass from Elliott and scored to make it 4-0 with 26:30 left. McMahon netted her third goal of the game with Bloodsworth picking up the assist. McMahon found Elliott and Ramey netted her third goal to make it 7-0. Delmar held a 40-2 advantage in shots and had nine corners while Woodbridge had two. Warner made 30 saves and Wilson ended the game with two saves.

Grant will help Del Tech expand biotech courses Delaware Technical & Community College has been awarded $499,973 by the National Science Foundation for the project "Taking Delaware's Biotechnology Education to the Next Level." The grant will address the need to meet workforce demand in the region’s growing biotechnology industry by expanding and enhancing Delaware Tech’s existing biotechnology program at the college’s Stanton and Georgetown campuses. An associate degree in biotechnology will prepare students to work as lab technicians in the medical, environmental, industrial and agricultural fields or to transfer to a 4-year institution for a bachelor’s in biotechnology. Delaware is home to many companies that provide research, manufacturing, instrumentation and other services to biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries such as AstraZeneca USA, DuPont, Hercules, Agilent Technologies, Syngenta and W.L. Gore and Associates. At the Georgetown campus, funds will be used to enhance the newly-established biotechnology program by upgrading basic laboratory facilities and offering faculty professional development op-
portunities for not only Delaware Tech faculty but also secondary school science teachers throughout the state. Statewide in-service workshops will provide these science teachers with up-to-date science content and laboratory experiences that they can incorporate into their courses to prepare secondary students for science courses required in biotechnology. In response to the range of training needs in Delaware’s and the region’s labor markets, curriculum at the Georgetown and Stanton campuses will include a new focus, research methodology. Historically, research methodology courses were only offered in biotechnology bachelor degree programs. However, exposure to research at the associate degree level will serve the needs of companies that hire Delaware Tech graduates by providing students with real-world field experience as part of their training. The NSF grant will enable more students to be part of an ongoing research project. It will also benefit students in the biotechnology transfer option by providing a preview of needed career skills as they prepare to continue at fouryear institutions.

Tax extension deadline nears
“What WSFS means to me.”
An estimated 23,000 Delawareans who requested the automatic six-month extension to file their 2006 tax return face the upcoming Oct. 15 deadline. Nationwide, an estimated 9.9 million taxpayers filed for an extension to submit their tax return this year. The extension is additional time to file a tax return, not additional time to pay. This year, taxpayers requesting additional time automatically were granted a sixmonth extension to file their tax return. Taxpayers who have yet to complete their tax return are encouraged to use IRS e-file to submit their return electronically or use Free File to electronically prepare and send their return. Both IRS e-file and Free File will remain available for individual taxpayers through the extension period. In Delaware, nearly 231,000 of the total 411,700 filers have e-filed their tax returns. “The easiest way to ensure an accurate tax return is to file your return electronically,” said IRS spokesperson Gregg Semanick. “IRS e-file is fast, easy and secure.” Free File is the private-public partnership between the IRS and a consortium of tax preparation software manufacturers who formed the Free File Alliance. The group makes software and electronic filing available free to eligible taxpayers. Any taxpayer who earns $52,000 or less, which is 66% of all Delaware filers, will find an available software program. Free File is available at www.IRS.gov. Taxpayers who have purchased their own software program or who are using a paid tax preparer are urged to file their tax return electronically.

Correction
An article last week about the Sussex County comprehensive plan stated that one more public hearing would be held after the Livable Delaware Advisory Council reviewed and returned Sussex County’s plan. Two more public hearings will be held, both in Georgetown. One will be held by Planning and Zoning and one by the Sussex County Council. The dates for these hearings have not been set. The Livable Delaware Advisory Council has up to 65 days to return the Sussex County comprehensive plan once it has been submitted for review. The dates will be announced some time in the future. The deadline to have the plan completed is April 2008. A full copy of the comprehensive plan is available at www.sussexcountyde.gov. The public is encouraged to review it and submit any concerns to the County Council during this review process.

Eat plenty of peanuts to live a long and healthy life By Frank B. Calio Plains, Ga., is a small farming community, with a population of 650 and is home to the 6th Annual Peanut Festival and the 39th President of the United States, Jimmy Carter. He still lives there. Welcome to small town America! While visiting my wife's relatives in Opelika, Ala. last year, they drove my bride and me to Plains to see the home the president was raised in and give us a tour of the community, which consists of five stores and a railroad track; just like the remaining buildings on Laurel's Market St. We missed the annual Peanut Festival by one week, so we made the trip south again this year. The festival, now in its 6th year, honors the president's birthday in October. This year, he turned 83. So with my wife's cousin, Denise, as our chauffeur and her dad as our human mapquest, we went to the second day of the festival. Pleasantly surprised, we found little traffic and parking two small country blocks from the main event. The first building we encountered we found people sitting in lawn chairs. I asked if this was the parade route. "I don't know," a lady answered adding, "I'm just in line for the book signing." The chairs surrounding the building, some empty, reminded me of Return Day and the Laurel 4th of July parade when people put out their chairs along the parade route the night before. Another lady, also in line for the President's and First Lady Rosalynn's book signing, chipped in, "The parade starts at Main Street," she said, pointing to the center of town. It was almost 11 a.m., time for the parade to begin, so we left the small line of people waiting for the book signing. I could come back later to get my wife's aunt's book signed and a campaign poster from his '76 campaign with his photo along with that of running mate Walter Mondell. I wanted the chance to speak with the former president to see if he remembered coming to Georgetown when he was campaigning for the Democrat nomination. Just a few days before he was to visit Georgetown, I was elected Democratic County chair. I was told the governor of Georgia and wanna be president was com-
Kersey Homes, Inc.
ing and I was to welcome him. After my clearance by the Secret Service (an eye opening experience) this unknown person came to Georgetown. We met in the law offices of Tunnel and Raysnor; other Democrats were in attendance. I'll never forget him standing in front of us saying, "(We’re) going to campaign seven days a week and we're going to New York (site of the Democratic National Convention) and win the nomination for president on the first ballot." This was back in the days before state primaries when the nomination for president was decided by delegates elected by states and on the floor of the convention. Carter was running against popular Morris (Mo) Udell, who was the party favorite; U.S. Senator Hubert Humphrey; and Birch Bayh — a tough bunch for an unknown to overcome. I was seated and I said to myself, "This guy has been eating too many peanuts; it's affected his thinking. There was no way he was going to overtake these big guns." But work he did, and he won the first ballot in New York. And he beat President Gerald Ford by 1% of the electorial votes in the general election. I wanted to ask him if he recalled that meeting. I was not to be that lucky. We moved toward the parade route at the center of town, not knowing how many people we'd have to walk through to get a good view of the former president. Turns out I didn't have to worry. The crowds along Main Street were less than the Laurel 4th of July parade, less than 2,000 people. I started looking for a place to take good photos of the president riding in the parade. But, to my astonishment, I looked up and there he was along with his wife standing on a second floor balcony wearing yellow peanut organizer t-shirts and waving to the locals and calling them by their names. Amazing I thought. How many former presidents do this? I was able to wiggle in and out of the crowds until I was standing directly in front of the Carters. I was shooting photos (in between slapping gnats), like I was afraid the memory stick in my camera was going to catch fire at any moment. Like most parades, this one started late. As the first entry came through I thought I was back in Laurel.

True to form, the police car — the only one they have — and the local chief were first in line followed by the local sheriff. Then came the antique farm tractors. Next, were the antique cars followed by every local queen in the county, and, last, but not least, two buses filled with elderly seniors from the nursing home, and a couple of fire trucks. Some groups stopped, climbed the steps and made presentations to Mr. Carter, including Habitat for Humanity. Planters Peanuts donated to the president's charities. We were able to see the first appearance of the Planter Peanut in his new outfit, a more modern version. Two bands played a tribute to the president, one playing "Happy Birthday." Many of the groups held signs or sang birthday tributes. The parade lasted less than a half hour but the local atmosphere made the parade as good as any Macy Day parade. These were hard working farm people who were out to enjoy a good day, have some fun and meet old friends. Our group decided to grab a bite to eat
before we visited the vendors and went to the 1:30 p.m. book signing. I had thought after all the years of being president, most people had read his books and the line would be small — not to be. I wasn't about to let my party wait a couple of hours. My reunion with the president would have to wait another time. The Carter's live in the house he lived in as governor, a ranch home that has had a few additions, plain with tan aluminum siding, but surrounded by an eight-foot wrought iron fence and a security building at the entrance to the driveway. Did you know former presidents are not allowed to drive a vehicle - they are chauffered everywhere? He teaches Sunday School every other Sunday. And, because the church doesn't have much money, members of the parish do the maintenance; the president and the first lady take turns. She does the bathrooms and sweeps the driveways, he does the cleaning inside the church. Just two regular Americans. Oh yes, during his remarks, the president gave us his secret for a good, long and healthy life: "Eat plenty of peanuts."

Historical Society plans trip to Washington, D.C. By Jane Watson The Seaford Historical Society with the leadership of Helen Ann Smith is planning a bus trip to Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, Oct. 24, with visits to the Museum of the American Indian and the Washington National Cathedral. The museum represents the life, ways, history, and art of the Native Americans throughout the western hemisphere. The four-story building, finished in 2004, was designed by a team of Native Americans and is finished in Kasota stone, which looks like terra cotta. It is aligned to the four cardinal directions, and to the center point on the Capitol dome. Tour guides recommend that visitors start on the fourth floor level, with a 13minute film celebrating the versatility of Native life, as well as a conference center and an exhibit entitled “Our Universes,” presenting Native beliefs and history. The third level features “Identity by Design,” a major exhibit on Native American dresses. Other exhibits on the third level showcase Native crafts and art and contemporary Native life, and there is also a resource center where visitors can research their genealogy. The second level presents “Return to a Native Place” highlighting Native people
of the Chesapeake region. Also on the third level is the Roanoke Museum, one of two shopping opportunities, which sells books, crafts, music, souvenirs, and toys. On the first level the Rasmuson Theater presents “A Thousand Roads,” a 45minute film about contemporary Native people, and the Chesapeake Museum Store, selling native jewelry, textiles, and other works by native artisans. Also on the first level is Mitsitam Café, where the group will eat lunch, which offers a variety of meals and snacks based on indigenous foods. The objects in the museum span 10,000 years of the Native heritage of the United States (including Hawaii), Canada, and Latin America. Audio tours are available for rent. The grounds of the museum are landscaped with indigenous plantings,, native tree species, and American wildflowers and vegetables. Washington National Cathedral The Washington National Cathedral is the sixth largest building in the world, and was recently voted one of the three most beautiful buildings in he United Sates. Founded in 1907, the Cathedral is celebrating its 100th anniversary with a wide variety of exciting programs.

menical and interfaith services, fulfilling its mission as a “a national house of prayer for all people. “The huge Gothic building is shaped like a cross, with the nave measuring one-tenth of a-mile-long and 100feet-high. In addition to the nave the main level contains eight bays, each representing an era in the history of America. They include George Washington Bay, the Maryland Bay with symbols of the state and its diverse religious heritage, Folger Bay with its stained glass windows representing the 1803 Lewis and Clark expedition, Glover Bay commemorating the original planner of the Cathedral, Warren Bay with symbols of law, Woodrow Wilson Bay with images symbolizing the life of our 28th president, Lee-Jackson Bay with scenes of the lives of the two Civil War generals, and Mellon Bay, in memory of the philanthropist Andrew W. Mellon. There is also a Baptistry, and three magnificent rose windows depicting the Creation, the Last Judgment, and Life Everlasting. There are seven chapels on the main level. In the crypt, or lower level, are four chapels representing the New Testament, the promise of eternal life, and Jesus’ life. A service has been held in the Bethlehem Chapel every day since 1912, when the first part of the Cathedral was completed.

Faith-based programs do work
I believe the opposition to Shiloh House of Hope near Bridgeville would disappear if several myths about faith–based recovery programs were addressed. The first myth is the “leper colony” mentality regarding these programs. Some
people feel that the proposed facility will bring undesirable people into the area resulting in decreased property values and increased crime. Shiloh House of Hope will treat teens and their families with a Bible-based program on a residential basis. In fact, similar activities take place in local churches and homes, but no one seems to object to these efforts. I live in a rural area, and if the state wanted to put a youth detention center next to my property, I would be the first to object. However, there is a world of difference between a residential facility teaching the love of God and a state prison. I would not object to a small residential facility that will not have the negative impact that a factory or housing development would have on the rural landscape. The second myth is that faith-based recovery programs are a bunch of ineffectual do-gooders accomplishing little more than making themselves feel good. Nothing could be further from the truth. While doing research for my articles on the Mission of Hope in Seaford, I was enlightened. Faith-based recovery programs are more than twice as successful as state or private programs, and at a fraction of the cost. Review the independent university studies completed on Teen Challenge at www.teenchallengeusa.com. The Northwestern University study identifies the “Jesus factor” as an essential reason for the program’s high success rate.
I am a volunteer at the Mission of Hope in Seaford, a faith-based program. More than 60 percent of mission residents return to a productive role in society. The mission’s cost is about $5,100 per year for a resident; much of that money comes from charitable contributions. On the other hand, the state pays more than $30,000 per year of your tax dollars to house an inmate, and over half are rearrested within three years. Treating teens and their families makes even more sense when you consider the cost of waiting until their problems become more severe and much more expensive for taxpayers to remedy. Higher taxes always have a negative impact on real estate values. Part of the success for a program like Shiloh House of Hope depends on getting teens and their family out of their usual surroundings and into a “safe environment.” A rural setting is ideal for this therapy. Local residents deserve our gratitude for helping to lower the tax burden of all Delawareans. Robert Marx

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