Nearly 200 turn out to hear the details about Discovery

By Tony E. Windsor Nearly 200 people attended a public hearing last week on a proposed 480acre sports/recreation and retail complex known as Discovery. The Planning and Zoning Committee listened as one by one about 20 Laurel area citizens expressed their sentiments about the projects. Three-quarters of those who spoke were against the proposal.

The goal of the public hearing, which was held at the fire hall, was to gain input from the public to help the Planning and Zoning Committee make a recommendation to the Laurel Town Council about allowing the Discovery project to be constructed under a town zone known as a Large Parcel Development. This zoning enables a developer to have certain variances in how the parcel can be built. The parcel must be over three acres and involve a

the community around the proposed development showed up at the hearing.

“Not one person showed up to oppose the development,” said Phillips, whose district includes the Blackwater Creek area. “I was shocked. I was looking forward to the public hearing, to hear what the people in the community thought. Because of the lack of opposition at the public hearing, I have

to think that the community’s concerns have been met.”

But that does not mean that Phillips will support the development, which would bring nearly 1,200 homes to the area. “This is something that would be very significant for that area, and would mean significant impact to our Continued on page 10

Veterinarian who lost wife faces deportation Dr. Dykstra was told he had until October 23 to take care of his wife’s estate and get out of the country

By Lynn R. Parks Dr. John Dykstra said that he feels like Job. Less than two months after the death of his wife, the Seaford resident and veterinarian is facing deportation to his native Canada.

“All these things are happening right now,” he said. “I am thinking a lot about Job and all the things that he had taken away from him.”

Dykstra, 41, is asking for the community’s help in convincing the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) to allow him to stay in Delaware. He needs as many letters of endorsement as possible to include in his application for resident alien status, due by October 21.

“I was really impressed by the community after my wife died,” he said. “Now I am asking for a little more help from the community.”

“John is a professional and an asset to our area,” said Ron Breeding, Seaford, who is helping Dykstra collect letters of

endorsement. “And he is a person who is a dear friend. I want to help him.”

Dykstra’s wife, Sandra, a U.S. citizen and also a veterinarian, was killed Aug. 13 while jogging near their home on Delaware 20, east of Seaford. According to state police, she was struck by a sport utility vehicle being driven by Georgetown police officer Bradley Cordrey. Cordrey, who was off-duty at the time, was charged Aug. 23 with operation of a motor vehicle causing death of another person. (See related story on page 43.)

Dykstra took his wife’s body to Canada to bury her in a family plot. Three weeks later, he was notified that an application for legal resident status, or for a “green card,” that had been pending with the INS for eight years was denied because the petitioner, his wife, was dead. He was told he had until October 23 to “take care of her estate and get out of the country,” he said.

Dykstra admits that part of the problem is that for about 190 days in 1997 and 1998, he was working in this country without proper authorization. “I had planned on applying for a green card but failed to, due to circumstances,” he said. “I was working hard, with a lot of clients depending on me, and I didn’t have time to go back across the border to do the paperwork.”

Dykstra said that in retrospect, he understands that he should have taken the time to make sure his residency here was

legal. “I broke immigration law. I admit that,” he said. “But it was not intentional at all. I didn’t realize that the Canadian-U.S. border was such a stringent border. No one thought that. I thought people were more free to come and go.”

Dykstra came to the United States in 1993 under the North Atlantic Free Trade Agreement, which allowed professionals to come across the border to work for other professionals. He was employed with a veterinarian clinic in Chestertown for two years, then in 1995, he started working for himself, something not allowed under the NAFTA provision. He should have applied for his green card then, he said.

In 1998, after having to appeal to then Sen. William Roth to be allowed back into this country following a vacation in Canada, he applied for legal resident status. That application has been pending since then.

“I feel they really wanted to approve my application, but they couldn’t figure out a legal way to do it,” he said. “I had broken immigration law.”

Now, his new application to the INS is based on several points, he said. “First, I have to prove to the INS that I didn’t intentionally break the law,” he said. “It wasn’t intentional. I was young and I had all these bills to pay and I didn’t have time to take away from my clients.”

Secondly, he is making the point that his children, ages 9, 5 and 3, need to stay in the home they have always known so they can heal after the death of their mother. “Our kids need to stay here for their mental health,” he said.

Dykstra also wants to stay here so that he can continue the veterinarian practice that his wife started. She owned and operated the Eastern Shore Veterinary Hospital, Laurel, which she opened in February 2004.

“My wife’s business is her legacy in this community,” he said. “Maintaining that as a viable business and as a place for our 18 employees is a way to keep her memory alive.”

Finally, he wants the INS to understand that he is an asset to the area. “I am not a drain on the community,” he said. “I am benefiting the community.”

Breeding, whose family raises cattle, agrees. “There is no other veterinarian in Sussex County who will take care of cows, goats, any large animal other than horses,” he said. “This whole thing just isn’t right.”

Dykstra admitted that asking the community for assistance is not easy for him. “I prefer to keep things to myself,” he said. But he has come to understand, as he didn’t before, the respect people in the area have for his wife.

“I am amazed that one life could have that much effect on a community,” he said. “The best place for us after her death is here. I just need to convince the INS that that’s the case.”

For your information: Letters in support of John Dykstra can be sent to his attorney, Wendy Castor Hess. Letter writers should explain how they know Dykstra and how deportation would affect him and his children.

of the development plans.

The meeting was opened by code enforcement officer Paul Frick, who read a letter from Mayor John Shwed which outlined how the Discovery project is being addressed by the town. Shwed explained that the public hearing is part of what the town will use to help it make decisions regarding the future of the Discovery project in Laurel.

Also in attendance was Laurel’s attorney, James Whaeler. Whaeler explained to the audience that he had recommended that neither the mayor or members of the council attend the hearing. “This should not be interpreted that the mayor and council is disinterested,” he said. “The town council will make the ultimate decision, but having any of its members here tonight could taint the process.” Whaeler said that the Planning and Zoning Committee will make a recommendation to the town council, but before the final decision is made, there will be another opportunity for the public to express its opinions about the project.

Chairman Brent Boyce was unable to attend the meeting, so committee member Stacy Northern-Smith was appointed the evening’s committee chairwoman.

First to speak at the hearing was Wendy Baker, director of public relations and project manager for the developer, OceanAtlantic Associates, based in Rehoboth Beach. Baker told the committee that the goal of the Discovery project is to provide an environment to help at-risk youth through organized sports programs. She said in order for the project to be successful it was necessary to develop a major complex that would satisfy the financial needs of the operations of the complex as well as provide an attraction that would draw people to the project.

“Why so big? The larger the project the more viable the project, the more sustainable it is,” she said. “We are like newborn parents. We are excited, but scared.

However, we are poised to grow.”

Baker said Laurel was chosen as the site for the Discovery project because it sits on a major artery, U.S. 13, and is centrally located. She said the projects calls for hotels, office complexes, 1.3 million square feet of retail space, restaurants and a small amusement park. It will have about 250 retail stores, an IMAX theater and a

“There will be something for everyone’s interests,” she said. “There will be sports tournaments and visitors will be able to shop, eat and go to the movies.”

Baker introduced Ocean-Atlantic Associates’ contracted traffic engineer consultant, Bob Rogers, who is working with the Delaware Department of Transportation to address traffic impact issues that are forecasted as the Discovery project expands to its full phase-in, expected around 2020.

Rogers said that DelDOT is ultimately in control of how the project must address any traffic, as well as road improvements required by the project. Rogers said a required traffic study must provide DelDOT with projections for the area both with and without the project. Seventeen intersections are part of the study, including U.S. 13 and Camp Road, U.S. 13 and U.S. 9, U.S.13 and Discount Land Road, U.S. 9 and Taylor Mill Road, and Discount Land Road and Camp Road.

Rogers said the traffic study includes information gathered through research being done in the morning, afternoon and evening, also weekends and summer time.

He said all the traffic studies are given to DelDOT, which will study the impact of the project and then design improvements in order to handle traffic.

“There are three major studies we have to forward to DelDOT. It is a very lengthy process,” Rogers said.

Planning and Zoning Committee member Don D’Aquila asked Rogers if, should Discovery grow any larger than its expected four phases of development, new traffic studies would be done. Rogers aid any new development would have to be approved by the town of Laurel and also be researched by DelDOT, which would involve new traffic impact studies.

Doug Warner of Element Design Group gave the Planning and Zoning Committee an overview of the project site. He said that the content of the proposed project continues to evolve and there will be changes all along the way. He said the entrance to the project will be off U.S. 13.

He said the complex would include a large oval green space and much of the complex would be walkable. One concern that had been brought up early in the planning stages was a plan by the developer to move the Sharp Energy business away

from U.S. 13 and further into the residential area surrounding the complex. Warner said that that plan has been changed due to residents’ concerns. The Sharp Energy propane tanks will be moved farther south on U.S. 13.

He said one of the interesting features of the complex is that many of the retail operations, especially in the project’s town center, will have residences in their upper stories. Warner said given the large amount of retail in the complex, parking could be a challenge. He said there will be two- and three-story parking garages.

Though he said there may be some changes throughout the development of the project, currently plans call for a 6,000-seat stadium that can be used for youth tournament play and will also have some mix with retail operations and cafes.

There are also plans for a 12,000-seat multi-sport stadium, which could also be used for Olympic-type sports and such games as lacrosse. The stadium could also be used as a concert venue.

He said there would be a variety of ball fields for baseball, softball, field hockey and gymnastics. There would also be small and large tournament fields and fields for soccer and indoor soccer.

Warner said there are also plans for an equestrian center with stables.

The complex would have a variety of residential units, including town houses, condominiums and garden apartments. He said it is the goal of the project to have the single-family residences developed within traditional neighborhood settings. He also said the complex will have gas station and convenience stores and drug stores.

Warner said one potential retail outlet

sought by the developer is a major hunting and fishing supply store. This would be in addition to three hotels and the possibility of a Great Wolf Lodge, such as that located in Williamsburg, Va. The Great Wolf Lodge is a motel with an indoor water park. There are also plans for a “lifestyles” retail section which would incorporate two large stores such as Cosco and Target.

“Things will move around a bit as we progress,” he said. Warner said the project calls for 1.3 million square feet of retail space and up to 1,400 housing units. He said a portion of the housing will be affordable housing.

Warner said the project calls for phasing in the development with phase one focusing on getting things going on U.S. 13. He said this would include developing the retail area and one of the two “big box” store. He said there will also be work done to help get a bulk of the ball fields ready for tournament play. There will also be a need to address any stormwater issues that may come about. Phase one will also include construction of a Laurel Volunteer Fire Department substation on the grounds of the complex.

Bobby Horsey of the Horsey family, partners in the Discovery Project, said members of his family are proud of the Discovery project and feel that the project will bring about “great things for the Laurel community.” He said the Horsey family looks at the Discovery project as a way to give back to the community.

“We want to look back and be proud of something that we have done for Laurel,” he said. “We believe this project will provide jobs and be an economic driver for the area.”

Citizens speak out about Discovery, most of them in opposition

By Tony E. Windsor Of the 19 people who spoke at last week’s public hearing on the Discovery project, 14 spoke against it. Following are the comments that were made: Anne Spicer, Portsville Road Laurel has to go ahead. The uptown stores are empty and deteriorating. We do not want a ghost town. Towns like Seaford are going full speed ahead with development and Laurel is gathering dust. It seems like we have been keeping our heads in the sand like ostriches. Seaford has five hotels and15 restaurants within a two-mile stretch of road. Where are Laurel’s motels? I appreciate Laurel families like the (Bill) Browns, the (Johnny) Janosiks and the (David) Horseys for building and expanding their roots here in Laurel. They are building their businesses and helping us realize our field of dreams. Sixty years ago, Ford Warrington donated lights to the Laurel Football stadium so we could have night games; [it was] one of the first stadiums in Sussex County to have lights. Let’s keep the lights shining in Laurel and not go back to the dark ages.

Penny Sheridan, Pine Grove Road Thank you Mr. [Bobby] Horsey for what you are planning for Laurel. I wish there had been something like this when my daughter was growing up. She has now gone away to college and I am not sure she will come back to Laurel. We have a community that complains about bikes and skateboards and wants to get kids off the streets. Here is an opportunity to give the

kids a place to go. We have enough subsidized housing in Laurel. We need people who will have jobs and live in town.

Dr. Michael Triglia, Cyprus Lane Twenty years ago I read a statistic in the New York Times that changed my life.

In this country we lead the world in heart attacks and obesity in children. The schools no longer require physical education for grades first through 12. The mission of the Horseys is to provide opportunities for children to have recreational outlets, and it is something that should move globally. I commend the Horsey Family Foundation and their partners for having the insight to make such a facility available here in Sussex County.

Carlos Mein, Delmar, with Children’s Theater of Delmarva, which would be part of the Discovery complex: This is the first development I am aware of that has created an outlet for youth and families. I am planning a theater with ticket prices for performances between $25 and $35. This theater will have two stages and allow young people to express themselves. This project [Discovery] will create jobs. I lived in New York at one time and I would have moved to this town if it had something like this. I commend the Horsey family and the Discovery team for creating this project.

Frank Calio, Lansing Avenue This project is a massive undertaking. I sympathize with the people living around the area where it will be built. I hope that you [Planning and Zoning Commission] will give we who are in support of this

for changes.

Mark Sheridan, Chief, Laurel Volunteer Fire Department Phillips Men’s Shop, French’s Food Rite, Bev’s Specs, Connor’s Pharmacy, Acme and other businesses, too many to name, have been victims of the 25-year pattern of non-growth and complacency of the town of Laurel and the residents’ unwillingness to pursue vitalization. The town of Laurel has suffered while those communities around us have expanded and offered services and goods to its residents.

Citizens in Laurel fear expansion and development because they do not want to change their way of life. This selfish attitude leaves others dealing with the problems of making the town the best possible place to live with limited resources to work with. The recent long-range plan of the Laurel Volunteer Fire Department shows that we derive about five percent of our operating budget from resources within the town of Laurel; however, with the amount of subsidized housing, the lack of owner occupied residences and the increasing number of seniors who require our services, we run about 27 percent of our calls within town limits. Our call volume has increased from 600 fire and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) calls per year to over 2,000 with the same number of volunteers to respond.

The fire department supports the Discovery project and is proud to be a partner in the development of an emergency plan that will enhance our community as a

project the same respect as those who oppose it. We have a couple of choices here. We can incorporate this project into the town of Laurel, or the project can join the county sewer system. Either we accept this or the county will. I would rather see the control of what goes out there be given to the town of Laurel. This project is also one that is being developed by people who are not a fly-by-night group who will build this complex and then leave. I went to school with Dave Horsey and his family will be here to see that the project functions. This project will bring jobs and even at its construction will involve a lot of local people being hired to work and building materials being bought locally. I know people have questioned whether the majority of jobs here will be part-time or regular full-time. Well, if you have no job at all, part time is better. In Laurel we have the lowest income level in the county. There are retirees who are seeking parttime employment to help supplement income. Also, I was the second president of the Western Sussex Boys & Girls Club.

We all know that currently the Laurel Boys & Girls Club operates out of an old building and it is in need of something new. There are good after-school programs going on there and there is a need for a better building. This project is also a way to generate more revenue for a new fire company building and help the school system. If there are legitimate concerns expressed from the people here tonight, then your body (Planning and Zoning Commission) can make recommendations

Business Conference to discuss job creation, small business

By Judi Sciple For 13 years, the Sussex County Today & Tomorrow Conference has served as a forum for discussing topics important to the economic vitality and future of the county. County business, education and government leaders and residents serve on the planning team that collaborates to present this annual event, which always attracts a full crowd.

This year’s conference, scheduled for Oct. 25, will focus on job creation and the roles of entrepreneurship and small businesses in county and state economic development efforts.

Providing an environment that encourages and supports entrepreneurship in Sussex County is the foundation of the conference theme – Sussex County Jobs: Growing Our Opportunities.

Area characteristics, population demographics and environmental trends are key factors to consider when creating or expanding a business. Recognizing and embracing the opportunities associated with these trends often can be the catalyst needed to successfully launch a new enterprise.

As part of the conference agenda, five “opportunity areas” for job creation in the county will be identified and explored.

Successful business owners representing each of these opportunity areas will serve as panelists; they will discuss lessons learned as well as plans for their businesses. The five opportunity areas for job creation are: Recognizing the impact of hospitality and tourism. Sussex County’s numerous beaches and waterways, combined with a fairly moderate climate and high quality of life, has positioned the county as a primary tourist destination and desirable retirement community.

To maintain the appeal, entertainment, services and activities that cater to these markets must continue to emerge, resulting in new businesses such as golf courses, restaurants, special events and spas.

Embracing retiree expertise. Projections

from the Delaware Department of Labor indicate that over the next 20 years, the largest increase in population in Sussex County will be in people age 55 or older, representing more than 44,000 individuals.

Many of these retirees possess the knowledge, experience and resources for new enterprise creation, and they see starting or supporting a business in Sussex as a desirable way to ease into this new phase of their lives.

Integrating technology with tranquility.

Technology has changed the way we do business and created a global economic environment.

Today’s companies can conduct business from virtually anywhere in the world, an advancement that creates opportunities for job creation and growth in Sussex County. Employers who take advantage of technology can operate nationally and internationally while living in Sussex, free from the population density problems of urban living.

They can enjoy a high quality of life that includes coastal areas, tax free shopping and open space.

Promoting innovation in agriculture.

Agriculture has long been a part of life in Sussex County and continues to provide a vital and unique foundation for job creation.

Specialty markets and new technologies hold promise for business opportunities.

Innovators in this field are looking to diversify their businesses and explore alternative agriculture production.

4-Hers question families on health habits

Sussex to celebrate career of Robert L. Stickels

The fact that kids like junk food is nothing new. In colonial days, sugar-coated nuts, toffees and marzipan were popular. After the Industrial Revolution, jelly beans and chocolate bars were mass produced. By the beginning of the 20th century, potato chips were, too.

But today’s kids, unlike previous generations, are paying a price for their snack habits. About 17 percent of U.S. youth are obese, according to the Institute of Medicine. Another 16.5 percent are on the brink of becoming so.

What’s the difference between contemporary kids and their colonial counterparts? Our progeny usually aren’t chopping wood and walking to school — in other words, getting lots of daily exercise.

But there’s another significant difference — previous generations of children weren’t bombarded by food advertising.

Eleven Sussex adolescents discovered the influence of food marketing during a community mapping project, which was a collaborative effort of Delaware 4-H, the Institute of Medicine and the Academy for Educational Development.

This summer, the youth went to parks, playground and community events to survey other children and their parents about their daily diets. The goal was to determine how much advertising and other

Sussex County will bid farewell to retiring County Administrator Robert L. Stickels during a dinner Friday, Oct. 27, at the Ruddertowne Bay Center, 113 Dickinson St., in Dewey Beach.

The public is invited to attend this evening of celebration and commemoration of Stickels’ three-decade career in public service. Stickels will officially retire Nov. 1, from the position he has held since 1988. He is the longest-serving County Administrator since Sussex County converted from the old Levy Court system to the current County Council form in the early 1970s.

Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres will be served beginning at 6 p.m., with diner to follow at 7 p.m. dinner guests have the choices of chicken cordon bleu or prime rib of beef. Tickets for the dinner are $30 per person. Checks should be made payable to “Sussex County Council Escrow Account.”

Seating is limited to 400 guests, and reservations are required by the close of business Wednesday, Oct. 18.

For more information, or to make reservations, call Nancy Cordrey at 855-7741.

forms of food marketing impacted children’s eating habits.

The 12- to 18-year-old youth, who had been specially trained in interviewing techniques, discovered that marketing can have a significant effect on what their peers choose to put in their mouths.

Heavily advertised fast foods and packaged snacks were cited as frequent food choices. Fruit and vegetables were seldom mentioned as a snacking option.

“Today, food marketing to youth is pervasive,” says Joy Sparks, state 4-H program coordinator. “And it’s chips and candy and other junk foods being pushed, not fresh fruit and other healthy choices.”

The youth produced a video about their project that drives this point home. Images of Sussex County billboards show quarterpound burgers, thick milk shakes and over-sized pizza slices. Only one billboard advertised a healthy food choice - locally grown watermelon.

The five-week project helped 4-H and the Institute of Medicine learn something about the eating habits of Sussex families.

But it served an equally important purpose as a youth development project.

“These young people learned how to work in teams, how to negotiate, and how to handle rejection when people turned down interview requests,” says Sparks.

“They’ve also been receiving opportunities to develop their public speaking skills.”

A number of the participants have made presentations at major events, including an Institute of Medicine forum in Washington, D.C. Several will be speaking at the second annual Nemours Conference on Child Health Promotion in mid-October.

The project is just one of Delaware 4H’s collaborative health projects. Another program, at the Woodbridge After School site, uses a curriculum based on the Nemours Foundation’s “5, 2, 1, Almost None” initiative.

The slogan refers to desirable daily habits, including five servings of fruits and vegetables a day, no more than two hours of TV or other screen time, at least one hour of exercise and almost no sugarsweetened drinks.

The curriculum is fun for the kids, says Sparks, and it works. “The children are exercising and making healthier choices,” she says. “And many of them have lost weight.”

A secondary benefit is that the 4-Hers are bringing this information home. “The Woodbridge families are telling us that they’re spending more time together, exercising and having fun,” says Sparks.

“Everyone in the family is adopting healthier habits.”

community,” he said. “There is a lot of discussion that still needs to be had.”

The development, at the intersection of Delaware 54 and county routes 504 and 512, is a joint venture between the construction firm Ocean Atlantic, Rehoboth Beach, and the David Horsey family in Laurel. The original proposal was for more than 1,700 housing units; that number has been reduced to 1,179 single-family homes, townhouses and condominiums, said Preston Schell, president of Ocean Atlantic. In comparison, Delmar has 1,400 housing units, according to the 2000 census.

Blackwater Creek would have 1.7 units per acre, Schell said. As the property is zoned now, with a mixture of agriculturalresidential and general residential, 2,032 homes could be built there. General residential zoning permits mobile home parks, with four units per acre.

The area for which the development is planned is a low-density area in the county’s comprehensive plan. The state has termed it Level 4 land, meaning that it is a mixture of agricultural and wooded areas where the state does not anticipate putting in infrastructure to support development.

Despite that, Schell said, the area is perfect for the project.

“It really makes more sense for a development over here,” said Schell, whose company typically is involved in development in eastern Sussex. “At Blackwater, you are just eight to 10 minutes from

Salisbury. You are close to shopping and you are close to medical facilities. And the road infrastructure along U.S. 13, although not the best, is still better than along Route 1. It just makes sense to do a large project over here.”

But David Keifer, chairman of the executive committee of the state’s chapter of the Sierra Club, said that putting a new community so far from an existing town center is not a good idea. “It makes no sense at all,” he said. “The amount of traffic that that development would generate on that little road makes putting it there just bizarre.”

Keifer said that it is best to build out from a town center. “You don’t go out in the boondocks and work your way back,” he said.

“Why bother with a comprehensive plan when you ignore it?” added Rich Anthony, chairman of the Lower Delaware chapter of the Sierra Club. “In Sussex County, our council thinks if the market demand is there, we should accommodate it, regardless of the costs.”

Those costs, Anthony said, include increased air and water pollution and overstressed roads. “More than 90 percent of Delaware’s waterways are on the impaired waterways list,” he said. “As for our air quality, we have been on non-attainment status for many years. How is this development going to help that? We have overburdened roads and overburdened infrastructure. How is this development going to help that?”

The Lord will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest.

Psalms 85:12

After initial plans for Blackwater Creek as originally designed were submitted to the State Office of Planning for review, the state issued a statement opposing the project.

“The project as proposed is likely to bring more than 4,000 new residents to an area where the state has no plans to invest in infrastructure upgrades or additional services,” wrote Constance Holland, director of the office of State Planning Coordination, in a report dated May 26, 2005.

Since then, the size of the project has been cut about 30 percent.

In addition to the state’s concerns about infrastructure, the Office of Planning response expressed worry about woodlands and wetlands that would be threatened by the development. Schell said that with the new design, no woods will be disturbed, other than by roads. In addition, the wetlands will be protected by riparian buffers. The three borrow pits on the property will remain.

The state also voiced concern about the development’s impact on the Delmar School District. Holland predicted that the project as originally proposed would mean an additional 881 students in the district.

A consultant hired by Ocean Atlantic determined that by 2012, the pared-down development would mean 179 additional students in the Delmar, Del., district and 155 additional students in the Delmar Elementary School, part of the Wicomico County School District. Consultant Dane

For your information: Sussex County’s planning and zoning commission, which deferred action on Blackwater Creek at its last meeting Sept.

28, will discuss the proposed development at its next meeting, Wednesday, Oct. 18, at 3 p.m. The meeting will be held in the county council chambers.

Brandenberger, former superintendent of the Cape Henlopen School District, said in his report that the impact will be lessened because student population in Delmar is decreasing. “Enrollment is trending down in both schools,” he said.

“The net revenue from the school taxes would be more than will be needed to pay for the new students,” Schell added.

As designed, Blackwater Creek would include an 18-hole golf course, three club houses and three pools. There would be 608 single-family homes, from 1,350 square feet to 3,000 square feet; 31 multifamily units, built to look like big houses and with eight 1,500- to 2,100-square foot housing units each; 180 condominiums, 1,400 square feet to 1,900 square feet each; and 180 condominiums, 1,100 to 1,500 square feet each.

Housing prices would start at around $170,000 for the smallest townhouses and go up to about $400,000 for the largest homes, Schell said. He hopes that construction can begin in the summer of 2007.

It would take up to 15 years to complete the development, he said.

Education Sussex Tech students raise money for Senior Services event For the fourth year, the JROTC cadets at Sussex Tech supported Sussex County Senior Services (CHEER) by collecting thousands of dollars for the annual Beach Day Governor’s Walk.

The walk benefits the non-profit organization’s meals-on-wheels program for senior citizens in Sussex County. The cadets collected $6,740.35 for the cause, exceeding their previous efforts.

The three-week campaign ended Sept. 15 when 72 cadets from Sussex Tech converged in Rehoboth Beach to participate in the 2.8-mile Governor’s Walk.

National Honor Society members at Sussex Tech also collected funds for the Governor’s Walk as well as participated in it.

Both SFC Louis Melendez, JROTC co-instructor, and Jean Johnson, Honor Society co-advisor, were proud of their students and the fact that they were willing to participate in the walk on an in-service day. “To see so many kids give up a day off of school to come to Rehoboth and participate in this fund-raiser to help senior citizens says a lot about the character of these young people,” said Melendez.

For their efforts, the cadets received trophies from CHEER for most group walkers and most money raised. Cadet Paul Sisson of Georgetown said that he put on his dress JROTC uniform and visited every house in his development to collect $503 for CHEER. Close behind taking second place was Sean Murray of Milton, who collected $465.

“These kids continue to amaze me at what they do for CHEER,” said Arlene Littleton, CHEER executive director. “Not only do they work hard to collect money, but they are such well-mannered young men and women.”

Sussex County Senior Services provides services to senior citizens in Sussex County ranging from meals to transportation and from nursing assistance to socialization. Its mission is to help seniors stay in the place they most want to be — their homes.

Beach Day 2006 was the 30th an-

niversary of the event.

Sussex Tech JROTC cadets who collected from $400 to $500 were: AnnaMarie Dill (Seaford), Sean Murray (Milton) and Joshua Dill (Seaford).

Jennifer Holman (Milford) collected between $300 and $399, and Paul Osborne (Bridgeville) collected between $200 and $299.

Cadets collecting from $100 to $199 were: Britteny Alexander (Milton), Skyler Bowden (Georgetown), Michael Fuller (Greenwood), Gregory Luff (Milton), Wendy Rogers (Milford), Nicholas Setzer (Milton), Alexis Turzani (Seaford), Brandon Wright (Millville), Richard Atkins (Georgetown), Christina Morrill (Millsboro), Justin Rider (Bridgeville), Nathan Rider (Bridgeville), Lori Simmons (Rehoboth), Ryan Skrzat (Millsboro), Bobby Storms (Georgetown), Lee Vanaman (Georgetown), Derek Remo (Frankford), Megan Adams (Laurel), and Rodd Simmons (Rehoboth).

Other cadets collecting donations for CHEER and participating in the Governor’s Walk were: Martina Adams (Laurel), Aaron Betts (Georgetown), Jakeashia Bournes (Bridgeville), Jeffrey Davenport (Seaford), Tyler Davidson (Harbeson), Cameron Faulkner (Bridgeville), Dylan Fox (Milford), Robert Gallo (Lewes), Jenna Hudson (Seaford), Hailey Kreisher (Lincoln), Ashley Ladd (Lincoln), Amanda Nichols (Greenwood), Dylan Searle-Lively (Selbyville), Jessica Eskridge (Seaford), Maribel Perez (Georgetown), Nikki Jarin (Bridgeville), Katina Stamat (Lincoln), Ashley Yaeger (Milford), Anna Yelverton (Seaford), Thomas Brennan (Millsboro), Ashley Brown (Milford), Michael Cordrey (Millsboro), Sarah Czukiewski (Harbeson), Kyle Dalton (Millsboro), Robert Donophan (Laurel), Bailey Elmore (Georgetown), Tyler Faulkner (Bridgeville), Henry Howe (Ellendale), Justin Kahoe (Millsboro), Joseph Riale (Harbeson), Paul Romer (Seaford), Brian

Stamp designed by Laurel girl chosen for U.N. peace series Sierra Spicer, a freshman at Laurel Senior High School, recently received notice that her Lions Club International Peace Poster was selected by the United Nations as one of six postage stamps to commemorate the 2006 International Day of Peace (Sept. 21). Her poster was selected from the 24 merit finalists out of 350,000 world-wide entries.

The United Nations General Assembly, in resolution 55/282 of Sept.

7, 2001, decided that beginning in 2002, the International Day of Peace should be observed on Sept. 21 each year. The assembly declared that the day be observed as a day of global ceaseSierra Spicer fire and non-violence, an invitation to all nations and people to honor a cessation of hostilities during the day. It invited all member states, organizations of the United Nations system, regional and non-governmental organizations and individuals to commemorate the day in an appropriate manner, including through education and public awareness, and to cooperate with the United Nations in establishing a global cease fire.

In response to this important resolution, the United Nations Postal Administration decided to commemorate the International Day of Peace by adopting a three-year annual global peace stamp issuance commencing on Sept. 21, 2004. This is the third and final year for the “My Dream for Peace One Day” stamp series.

New orthopedic surgeon opens practice

By Lynn R. Parks The young Daniel Yanicko wanted to be a rocket scientist.

But then he discovered medicine and the many, precise tools of the orthopedic surgeon, and he was hooked.

“I like to help people out and I like to build things,” he said.

“I’m a handyman, I could build a house, and building a joint is no different from building with wood.”

Yanicko, 50, has been practicing in Seaford for about a month.

“Our community has been underserved when it came to orthopedics and the hospital has worked hard for the last three years to find candidates who were experienced and high-quality

providers,” said Tom Brown, Nanticoke Health Services spokesman.

“Dr. Yanicko fit the bill.”

Yanicko has his temporary headDr. Yanicko quarters in the Nanticoke rehabilitation office at the Mears campus, Herring Run Road. By January, he hopes to have moved into his new office in the Halpern Eye Associates building, now under construction on Bridgeville Highway, within view of Yanicko’s office.

Yanicko said that he and his

More than 190 couples receive genetic testing Displaying the importance of parents’ obligations to support their children, over 190 couples across the state visited Child Support Enforcement headquarters recently to receive the free genetic testing being offered.

“Our highest obligation as parents is to care for our children,” said Child Support Enforcement Director Chuck Hayward. “And establishing paternity is one crucial step in providing that care.”

Paternity establishment is a procedure to determine the legal father of a child born outside of marriage by either a court order or an Affidavit Acknowledging Paternity. The husband is considered to be the legal father if the mother was married when the child was born.

“The couples that came forward this week are shining examples that all children have the right to support from both parents, and that all children deserve to grow up in a healthy, happy environment,” said Hayward. “ Fathers are important. It’s that simple. Getting fathers to acknowledge their children legally by getting their name on the birth certificate is critical to the physical, emotional, and financial well being of any child. It can’t get more basic than knowing who your parents are,” says Charles E. Hayward, director for the Division of Child Support Enforcement (DCSE).

Increasing awareness about paternity establishment and getting more Delaware kids to know the identity of their parents is a major focus of Child Support Month 2006.

How it works If the mother and father were not married at the time the child was born, paternity must be proven before the court will enter an order for support. Proof will

generally consist of an Affidavit Acknowledging Paternity (AKA VAP) , scientific genetic testing, direct testimony of the mother, or other available evidence.

If both parents agree to sign an Affidavit Acknowledging Paternity, the parents do not have to go to court to establish paternity for their child.

Why is it important to establish paternity?

Both parents and the child have the right to a full parent/child relationship. Everyone deserves an opportunity to develop, enjoy and grow in the relationship. The father has the right to contribute to the success of his child’s future. By establishing paternity, the father is providing his child with certain rights and privileges, which may include: • The emotional benefits of knowing who both parents are • Emotional and financial support from both parents • Access to family medical records • Inheritance protections • Veterans’ and Social Security benefits • Medical and life insurance • Legal documentation of who his parents are To learn more about these new efforts, contact the Division of Child Support, at 1114 S.

wife Cynthia were attracted to Seaford by its size, and by the fact that it is growing. “There is a lot going on here but it is still a nice place to be, and there is still land to buy,” he said.

He said that he and his wife came to Seaford with retiring here in mind. They also wanted to be close to members of their family who live in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Most recently, Yanicko practiced in Lake Charles, La., where he was part of the Lake Charles Medical and Surgical Clinic and medical director of the Center for Joint Replacement at Christus St. Patrick Hospital. But his neighborhood was ravaged by Hurricane Rita, which ripped through the area a little more than a year

ago. “We decided that we didn’t want to live in that area any longer,” he said.

Yanicko grew up in Deer Lakes, near Pittsburgh, where he graduated from high school. He went to Allegheny College, Meadville, Pa., where he graduated in 1978 with a bachelor of science degree in biology and a minor in chemistry. He went to Hahnemann University School of Medicine, Philadelphia, and completed his studies there in 1982.

While there, he was awarded the orthopedic surgery and rehabilitation prize.

He did his internship in general surgery at Hahnemann University Hospital from July 1982 until June 1983 then did his residency training at Hahnemann, Eliza-

bethtown Hospital and Rehabilitation Center, Elizabethtown, Pa., where he studied pediatric orthopedics, and the Atlantic City Medical Center, Atlantic City, N.J., where he studied trauma and sports medicine.

From 1987 until 2001, he had a private practice, first in Sharon, Pa., then in Hermitage, Pa. He then moved to Sioux City, Iowa, where he was involved in a group practice for about a year. He went to Lake Charles in 2002.

Yanicko is a member of the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery, a fellow with the American Academy of orthopedic Surgeons and with the American College of Surgeons and is a diplomat with the national Board of Medical Examiners.

4-H Teens set example as leaders in community Sussex County 4-H Junior Council is a youth-led organization comprised of 4-H teens and local 4-H club members who hold club officer positions.

4-H teens who are 13 years of age and older are eligible to run for an officer position with Junior Council. It is an honored leadership role. Candidates campaign over the summer and officers are elected by their peers at the beginning of the 4-H year in September.

Junior Council officers serve a one year term and democratically preside over meetings at the beginning of each month and address a number of issues. The outcomes of their decisions, which include event planning, community service and recordkeeping, help forge leadership qualities and have a direct influence on others in their community.

Embodying a volunteer spirit, 4-H Junior Council members serve as mentors to many youth throughout the county, regardless of whether they belong to 4-H or not. A typical Junior Council teen may volunteer for such events as for Relay for Life, UD Coast Day, Coastal Cleanup and the Apple Scrapple Festival.

UD Extension Specialist, Ernie López says, “I really can’t think of a community activity in Sussex County that takes place without some sort of volunteer presence from our kids in 4-H. They are the best and brightest and we are proud of them!”

Members serve as volunteer counselors for member overnight camps and summer day camps in Georgetown and Bridgeville which are open to the public.

In their leadership role, Junior Council members instruct other youth about the benefits of good nutrition, surveying food choices, and assist in the training of other youth participating in more than 100 project areas offered by 4-H. For four weeks this spring,

many 4-H Junior Council members served as ambassadors for 4H, Delaware and U.S. when they hosted a delegation of Bosnian teens who were visiting the U.S. for the first time.

They are an invaluable asset to adult volunteer leaders who run

4-H community and Afterschool clubs in Sussex County and across the state.

4-H is a community of young people across America who are learning leadership, citizenship and life skills.

For more information about

the 4-H program and its many benefits contact Mary Argo, Susan DeFord or Ernie López at (302) 856-7303 or visit the Sussex County 4-H Web site at www.rec.udel.edu.

Sussex County 4-H is pleased to announce the election results

for the 2006-2007 year: Brian Tinsman, Seaford, president; Tiffany Snyder, Seaford, vice president; Josh Vincent, Laurel, secretary; Rachel Ebling, Seaford, treasurer; Emily Eskridge, Seaford, assistant treasurer; Neil Ebling, Seaford, reporter.

There are millions of Americans like her who could benefit significantly from signing up for Medicare Part D, and they don’t even realize it — especially those who are over 65 with limited incomes.

You could also be eligible for extra help paying for prescription drugs or medications.

Project would bring more development, opponent says Continued from page 5

whole by providing a second fire station east of U.S. 13. The town of Laurel cannot be a community that is plagued by the essence of what it once was. We need to move forward and support the people who will be here long after we are gone. The services that the Discovery project is offering will be a definite asset not only to our community, but the surrounding communities as well. It is not the strongest of species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.

Beverly Connolly, Lake Drive I am not totally against this project, but if I am forced to take sides, I have to be against it for the time being. I think it is important to look out for Laurel’s point of view, not just the developer. Has Laurel determined its obligations and costs? Does Laurel have a plan? It is easier to deal with a smaller entity when it comes to annexation. This project is just too large. It has beautiful enticements, but do we want them in this setting? There will be a need for additional employees in the town and given the size and mixed use of this project, it will be like having two towns in the corporate limits. The developer hypes how beautiful this project will be, but it has to be viewed with knowledge that the bottom line is money. We must look beyond the hype to the issue of practicality. This is an enormous decision and the people should have a say. While it is not required, the will of the people should control this decision. If not, what does that say about the representatives?

W.D. Whaley, Taylor Mill Road The thing that has not been heard whenever this issue has been talked about is the fact that this development will start a trend of major construction along US 13 through Laurel, creating big intersections and decades of construction in that area.

For the people who will vote for or against this project, is this what you really want? I like the Little League Park, not a semiprofessional ball field. I like that O’Neal Brothers sponsors our Little League team, not Home Depot. I like that our Little League field is named for one of our representatives, not a poultry conglomerate.

This project will change the character of Laurel. I have looked at the town of Laurel Charter and Section 3, paragraph D says that the people should have a vote in this matter. I want someone to explain to me why this is not coming up for a vote from the people. With 1,400 housing units going in on that property, I can’t say how many

drug deals will go down once it is built.

But, I can tell you how many drug deals go down there now; none. This project will not help downtown Laurel. If you are really looking out for Laurel, this project will not help.

Rick Culver, of Camp Road and Discount Land Road The development group paints a pretty picture and it is what the town council wants to hear. But, in the real thing bad things happen, not just good things. How many times has this project plan changed?

I would like to see the whole thing folded up and moved off that property. This is way too big for that parcel of land. It is as if they want people to believe there is nothing but this big field out there. But, there are families and houses out there and we live in those houses. There are 98 homes within a half mile of this project.

We are [angry] about this project going out there.

This project will make changes to our lives, particularly in regard to traffic. But this developer doesn’t care. The developer does not care about the town of Laurel.

They just want to access the town’s sewer system. That is their only interest in the town. This project will double the size of Laurel and the people should have a vote on a decision like that. It is time to change the charter. This is too much growth at once. I do not feel this project will fly and if it fails we will have a Nylon Capital Shopping Center on our hands. This project will bring traffic comparable to Black Friday in Salisbury and Dover Downs race day in Dover. I don’t think the people of Laurel want that.

Ruby Anderson, Willow Street It has been my experience that the town of Laurel wants to run you out of business, especially if you are a landlord. Don’t tell me about the decay of Laurel, I can write a book about it. I would love to get out of the town of Laurel and back into the country where I am from. I am proud of the country.

David Yearny, Discount Land Road I have been involved with youth soccer for the past 12 years. The developers want people to believe that they can attract national soccer tournaments to Laurel. In the age category of 8 to 12 it is unheard of. The national tournaments are held at Disney World in Florida and to even think we could pull families away from Disney to come to Laurel, I just do not see happening.

Leslie Studly-Corbin, Discount Land Road I have heard it said that this project plans 250 retail stores, or 1.3 million square feet of retail space. That is a large amount. Then I hear about 1,400 housing units being built. What will they do with 1,400 units when there is no housing market? These homes will be sitting empty.

The housing market is going down. It has been reported to be 12.6 percent below previous years. Then we consider all the other developments going up around Laurel, I cannot imagine how these homes will sell. The market is in a full downswing, so who are they building these homes for? The average income in Laurel is $28,000. This means that the average family could possible afford a home in the range of $133,000 to $171,000. If the homes are expected to be in the range of $240,000, they must not be planned for Continued on page 18

What about the displaced wildlife that comes when the property is stripped? Will the deer be driven into my fields to eat my crops and the foxes to get into my chicken houses? How do you compensate us for taking away our starry nights and the sounds of wildlife?

I would like to know why there is no industrial park in Laurel. This project will only provide jobs for ticket takers and bed makers. When all is said and done, there will be no high-tech jobs whatsoever.

I love Laurel and I love my neighborhood.

Now it is about to change and I do not like anything I have heard. I like the farmland.

I know I can take it or leave here, but I can’t afford to leave here. What about the beautiful creatures that God made, what will happen to them? There are thousands of geese and other animals like birds and even turtles who live in on that property. I know you do not care because it is not happening to you. Laurel is known as a

Traffic, kids playing near street are dangerous combination

By Tony E. Windsor For 10 years Sharri Montoya says she has seen traffic conditions in her neighborhood worsen and now it is “an accident waiting to happen.” During the Monday , Oct. 2, meeting of the Laurel Town Council, Montoya asked for a four-way stop sign system to be placed at Front and Poplar streets.

“People are using that Poplar Street as a way to bypass the traffic light on Market Street,” she said. “When these vehicles come around that corner they are moving so fast that they end up riding up on the curb and sidewalk, sometimes almost hitting the fire hydrant. We have even yelled at some of them to slow down.”

Montoya said there have been two accidents at the corner of Front and Poplar streets, and given the number of children in that area who are under 15, she fears that something even worse may happen. “I would not want one of these children to be out on the sidewalk or near the road when one of these vehicles comes around that

corner. If you go down there you can see the tire tracks from so many vehicles running up on the curb and sidewalk. I think having four-way stop signs would help to slow the traffic down at that intersection.”

Mayor John Shwed told Montoya that he had charged Laurel Police Chief Jamie Wilson with looking into the situation and he would listen to Wilson’s observation of Montoya’s concerns.

Wilson said the area along Poplar Street where Montoya lives is “a unique area.”

He said given the one-lane bridge and the on-street parking, the area can become very congested. He said he had an officer do a traffic study on Monday afternoon between the hours of 4:30 pm. and 5:30 p.m., when traffic is at a peak. In all, 145 vehicles traveled Poplar Street with the highest speed recorded at 31 miles per hour.

“I don’t think speed is an issue,” Wilson said. “The speed limit in that area is 25 miles per hour and when you live that close to the street and have such a narrow corridor even that can seem like 50 miles an hour,” he said. “I think it is more

a problem with the layout of the area than excessive speed. I really feel that because you have the narrow bridge and cars needing to go around vehicles parked on the street, a four-way stop sign would cause more problems and most likely create a bottleneck in the traffic flow.”

He said if children are playing in the road that is a safety issue and there can be contact made with parents in that area.

Montoya said that homes on that stretch of road have no front yards and the children wind up playing on the sidewalks. “If a ball goes out into the street, it is hard to expect a 3-year-old not to run out after it,” she said. “I have certainly tried to watch children out there and warn them not to go into the road, but it happens.”

Montoya said she feels the town should try to convince those people to park in the municipal parking lot nearby and avoid parking on the street.

Councilwoman Terry Wright asked if it may be possible to consider lowering the speed limit. Wilson said that may be possible and currently the speed limit on the

Poplar Street Bridge is 15 miles per hour.

“We can look at lowering the speed limit from 25 miles per hour from the bridge to Market Street as well,” he said. “I think we will find it is more an issue of congestion than speed.”

Shwed said the town will monitor the situation and see if some of the suggestions made by the council and Wilson can address the traffic concerns, as opposed to a four-way stop sign.

Montoya said she appreciated anything the town could do. “This is not a main street, it is a side street. But people use it like a main street to avoid that traffic signal. If you can at least get people to slow down for now I will appreciate that,” she said.

Councilman Don Phillips said he understood Montoya’s concerns. He said he saw first-hand the problem for 30 years when he operated his family’s clothing store at Market and Poplar. He said, however, that he wants to be sure that lowering a speed limit can by done without input from the public. Shwed said that concern would be researched and “we will do the right thing.”

anyone living here.

I moved here for the quiet and peacefulness of this area. I want a project that will not disturb my way of life. This project is large enough to impact everybody’s quality of life. I am against this project at its current size.

Kirk Drew, Park Lane in Colonial Acres I was born and raised in the country. I have been here for 16 years. I wanted to come here from the city. I got tired of sirens and kids running up and down the streets. Now you want to come in and destroy my water and bring crime to my neighborhood. We have no voice in this and we can’t vote anyone in or out of office. This project is not about kids, it’s about money. Most kids don’t stay entertained too long. Ball fields will do nothing and this place will do nothing for anybody.

It won’t help this community. The people building it don’t even live in Laurel. The contractors that come in to build this project will bring their own construction crews; they won’t hire anybody from around here.

I want to know what happens to my front yard when you make Discount Land Road a dual highway. Are the developers going to pay me for my place when I have to step out of my house onto a dual highway?

These developers are good salespeople.

I just don’t understand why the Horseys are involved in this thing. I am going to sit down because I am getting madder by the minute.

Felicia Culver, Discount Land Road This is also an issue of safety, not just the living here, but for those people coming to the town. When you have a large group of children it also brings pedophiles.

There are 32 convicted sex offenders in the Laurel area and 25 of these are pedophiles. Three of these are within three miles of this project site. These people merge in with the people and you are not aware they are out there. I hope the police force is increased. I hope you take this into consideration and realize the possibility

exists. For one child to be molested or abducted is unfathomable to consider in my neighborhood.

I am worried about our peaceful way of life being destroyed and you cannot get that back. This is a way of life I am not ready to give up.

Sarah Culver, Discount Land Road I am a junior at Sussex Tech High School. I live in a peaceful neighborhood and I want it to stay that way. Why can’t it stay that way? Sure, I am a teenager and I like shopping at the malls, but I don’t want it outside my house. My neighborhood is beautiful and peaceful and once you interfere with that it can’t be brought back. I am not into sports or physical activities. I like music and the arts. And what about the animals who have no voices and can’t be heard?

It is unfair that seven people make this decision that will affect other people. You don’t live on my street, so you don’t know how beautiful it is. If you want it so bad, build it in your neighborhood, don’t come into my neighborhood.

Sandy Kirby, Camp Road With all due respect, I have heard nothing from the developers about what this project will do to impact our schools.

Where will all these children go to school?

I see no beautiful pictures of schools. I also see that you are considering building a fire station on the project property. My daughter died on the street in front of a doctor’s office in the middle of Laurel. It took 30 minutes for the emergency people to respond. How long will it take if they have to come from out there on the other side of US 13?

I am a big fan of the Shorebirds and I go to their games. But, the Shorebirds can’t fill the 5,000 seats it has; how can a town the size of Laurel fill a 6,000 seat stadium?

Harvey Highland, Irene Avenue I am running for the Sussex County Council in District 5, and when I ask the people what their top three concerns are they tell me “development, development, development.” People are tired of development; especially development without

planning. I do feel that the Horsey family is spending time on plans for this project.

But, two years ago the town of Laurel increased every service fee in the name of a new, upgraded wastewater treatment plant. It looks like this development has already outgrown the system that has yet to be built. If annexed, the property will

need additional wastewater service.

According to the Laurel ordinances, if the wastewater lines run by your home, you will be charged a frontage fee. So, beware of hidden costs.

I believe this project is important to the town of Laurel because it is greasing Laurel’s palm.

For comfort, try serving breakfast food at dinner time It was, I suppose, inevitable. Articles on comfort food are popping up everywhere.

They all go something like this: It’s getting cold outside, days are shorter, come home to your cozy house and make something comforting for your family, etc., etc.

According to these articles, there is something especially soothing in making breakfast foods for dinner. Plus, pancakes, waffles, egg and cheese dishes are easy to make, the needed ingredients are usually on hand and the novelty of having these breakfast foods for dinner is appealing to kids and the kid in you.

I get the idea, but I just can’t buy into this particular culinary quirk. However, I know there are a lot out there who do. If you like the notion of coming home from work or school on a cold, dark autumn evening, getting into your jammies and eating breakfast, here are a few ideas for you.

Caregiver Expo offers day of learning and sharing The 2nd Annual Delaware Caregiver Expo on Nov. 2 will help family caregivers deal with the challenges of caring for loved ones at home, and feel comfort in knowing they are not alone.

In Delaware, 130,000 people — nearly 1 in 4 residents — are serving as caregivers for elderly or disabled relatives.

Another 7,200 are caring for their grandchildren. More than half spend an average of 20 hours each week tending to medical needs, nutrition and activities of daily life while also serving as an advocate for their loved ones in communicating with doctors, insurance companies and Medicare.

“Family caregivers provide more than 80 percent of all homecare services. They play a vital role in our communities and in our health care system,” said Mona Grier, administrator for CARE Delaware, a program of the Division of Services for Aging and Adults with Physical Disabilities (DSAAPD).

Last year, more than 400 caregivers gathered in Dover for the 1st Delaware Caregiver Expo. The 2nd annual event will be held in Wilmington at the Chase Center on the Riverfront, from noon – 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 2 (registration opens at 11:30 a.m.), and is expected to draw even greater attendance.

The Expo is free and open to the public. It will feature educational seminars, health screenings, exhibits, and product demonstrations, as well as an opportunity to meet other caregivers and share ideas.

Attendees will be treated to lunch and dinner buffets, snacks, dessert, coffee and spa treatments. In addition, a new web-based program will be introduced in which caregivers can take a video tour and enroll.

“The Caregiver Expo is not only a great source of information and support, it’s also a day of relaxation and rejuvenation. It’s a chance for caregivers to find out about resources that are available, but also to learn how to take care of themselves as they deal with the stress of caregiving,” said Grier.

This year’s line-up of speakers includes: Allan Zaback, DSAAPD Director, who will present the Caregiver of the Year Awards (nominations can be sent by email to dsaapdinfo@state.de.us).

Larry Mendte, CBS 3 Eyewitness News anchor, who has worked closely with caregivers while spearheading CBS

Bike-a-thon raises $1,800 Coordinator Ron Breeding said that this year’s St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital Wheels For Life Bike-a thon on Sunday, Oct. 8, at West Seaford Elementary School raised $1,800.

William H. Thomas, M.D., AARP’s Visiting Scholar and president of The Center for Growing and Becoming, Inc., a not-for-profit organization that promotes holistic approaches to aging and care for older people. His presentation will address the topic: “Who will care for our caregivers?” Frank L. Miller, a nationally–certified school psychologist from Lake Forest School District, to address “Parenting grandchildren.”

Who Should Attend?

Everyone is welcome to attend. The event is designed for anyone who is currently serving as a caregiver for an elderly or disabled relative, or a grandchild, as well as anyone who anticipates taking on a caregiving role at in the future. “When you consider that one in four Delawareans are currently serving as caregivers, it is likely that most of us will be providing care to a family member at some point in our lives. The Delaware Caregiver Expo is a wonderful opportunity for caregivers to pamper themselves a bit and seek the help they may need right now, and for others to begin to prepare for the future.”

DSAAPD is hosting the second annual Delaware Caregiver Expo 2006 in partnership with Christiana Care Health Systems, AARP Delaware, and Astra Zeneca.

DSAAPD is committed to improving or maintaining the quality of life for elderly Delawareans and adults with physical disabilities.

The Delaware Caregiver Expo demonstrates their commitment by enhancing the lives of those they serve, and providing support to the caregivers who give so much of themselves.

A Special Tribute To

Wanda Bacon Spry Sunrise 7-27-38 Sunset 10-15-96 Ten years have past and not many days have gone by that I haven’t thought of you. I always tell people that if you have a mother, treasure her you only have one. Your special verse is Psalms 23 The Lord is my shephard; I shall not want.

Mom I miss you very much and I thank you for so many things, but most of all I am thankful for your love, because you were my mother.

Missing you, Gone but not forgotten.

Love Vergonda “Gonnie”

Pastor Appreciation Month Profile Why I think the Rev. Boyd Etter of St. John’s United Methodist Church, in Seaford, should be Pastor of the Month in Seaford.

The Rev. Etter is always there for us 24-7, day or night. He gives us messages that are filled with the Holy Spirit that comes from his heart. Last year, he left his home on Christmas Day to take someone to the hospital who lived alone.

When surgery is needed and scheduled, wherever it may be, near or far, any hour of the day or night, he is there. He stops whatever he is doing, when possible, to be there for us.

He and Linda, his wife, are very devoted to their ministry. They are truly disciples of Jesus Christ. He has served more than 25 years and served eight churches. He is devoted to small The Rev. Boyd Etter group ministries throughout our church and community. He reaches out especially to missions, Prison Ministry through The Way Home, The Seaford Mission, the homeless on the street, and anyone who is in need of God’s care. He reaches out to those who are total strangers, when called by a friend of that person. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you’ve been, or where you are going. He offers Jesus Christ to everyone.

This past summer, he and Linda went to The World Methodist Conference in Seoul, Korea. They brought back their experiences, which was wonderful. If any church would like him to share his journey, call the church at 302-629-9466, so that he can make the arrangements. God has surely blessed him with a pastor’s heart and through him has blessed many.

Sincerely In Christ, Ruth M. Rhoades, St. John’s UMC

Bennett adds, “If you are tied up that day and can’t attend, stop by HarleyDavidson of Ocean City or Seaford before hand and make a donation to the SeafordBlades Charities toy fund.”

Thanks to Short’s Marine, the Third Annual Rocktober Fishing Tournament and Festival, Oct. 20-22, promises to be the most competitive yet. Any angler who breaks the state record with their Rockfish catch will take home an outfitted boat! The lucky fisherman will speed away with an 18’ center console Parker, complete with an Evinrude e-tech 115 motor and LoadRite trailer.

The state record for the Rockfish hasn’t been broken since 1978, when Betty Rosen caught a 51-pound 8-ounce whopper. The fish was weighed in at the Indian River Marina, the headquarters of the Third Annual Rocktober Fishing Tournament and Festival. But with a guaranteed $9,000 payout to the first-place rockfish catch, and over $24,000 in cash prizes, you don’t have to break the state record to win big.

This year’s tournament also offers a new challenge to the fishermen with a Tau tog category that awards as high as $4,500 cash for first place. Like last year, participants will also have the chance to fish in a flounder category. For all the younger anglers, there is an added incentive to enter again this year. A $1,000 prize will be awarded to the registered contestant 17 years of age or younger weighing in the heaviest rockfish. The qualifying youth must be currently enrolled in school to win the prize.

While the fishermen are casting their lines, there is a weekend full of on-land activities for the entire family. Friday night, the festival portion kicks off at 4 p.m. with treats and frothy beverages for fisherman and their families along with tunes from DJ Sky Brady. Saturday the festival opens at noon, with delicious food and drink, arts and crafts vendors, great music, and children’s activities such as inflatable basketball, ecological touch tanks,

Two Sussex events in Top 100 In September 2006 The American Bus Association (ABA) released its 2007 Top 100 Events in North America. ABA is a trade organization representing the group tour motorcoach industry. Southern Delaware Tourism, the Convention and Visitors Bureau in Sussex County, Del., is a member of ABA and represents the tourism industry in Sussex County.

The 2007 Top Events list includes two events in Sussex County.

The Nanticoke Indian Powwow, Sussex County’s third largest event according to Southern Delaware Tourism, was recognized for showcasing and preserving Native American heritage and tradition. The “Powwow” which means a secular event, features group singing and dancing by men, women and children. The Powwow’s long history passes from generation to generation, when people gather for celebration and culture.

Native American artisans create wares to sell and trade, while visitors enjoy many sights and sounds including the graceful steps of dancers and their traditional regalia, which embody their tribal affiliation and ancestry.

Also recognized, The Captain John Smith 2007 Reenactment Voyage of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed in Delaware, Maryland and Virginia.

In 1608, Captain John Smith sailed the Chesapeake Bay by mapping out its tributary and landmarks. From May through September 2007, a crew of modern-day explorers, historians, naturalist and educators will retrace Smith’s incredible exploration. Traveling in a 28-foot reproduction of Smith’s shallop and living as Smith and his men did 400 years ago, the shallop and her crew will voyage to the headwater of almost every tributary of the Chesapeake Bay. A major traveling exhibit, “Captain John Smith’s Chesapeake Voyages-Mapping the Course for a New Nation,” will meet the shallop and provide an in-depth look at the Chesapeake during the early 17th century to the public. The 121-day voyage begins and ends in Historic Jamestown with more than 20 stops along the Chesapeake Bay in key ports throughout Delaware, Maryland and Virginia.

“According to Karen Falk, executive director of Southern Delaware Tourism, “Planning is currently underway for Delaware’s Captain John Smith Reenactment Voyage. The shallop will arrive in Sussex County, Del., May 29, 2007, with a ceremony at Phillip’s Landing near Lau-

rel. Research conducted through National Geographic includes Smith voyage into Delaware up the Nanticoke River with exploration as far north as the mouth of the Broad Creek River. However, event organizers have scheduled for the shallop to travel six-miles further north to host a larger public event which will take place in Seaford, on May 30, 2007 at the Nanticoke River and Yacht Club.”

Previous award Top 100 winners include The World Championship Pumpkin Chunkin, U of D Coast Day, and Rehoboth Beach-Dewey Beach Chamber of Commerce Sea Witch and Fiddlers Convention.

Chicago performance added The musical “Chicago”, opening on October 13 at Possum Hall in Georgetown, has sold out for all originally scheduled performances. Due to the high demand for tickets to this show, the Possum Point Players Executive Committee has elected to add a 7th performance on Wednesday, Oct. 18.

“This is a very popular musical right now, and audiences are clamoring for tickets,” stated Possums’ office assistant Cassandra Petersen. “The songs are catchy, the characters vivid, and the storyline is quite modern – especially considering it was written in the ‘70s, and it’s a story about the ‘20s!”

“Chicago” portrays a fictional tale taking place in Chicago, in the roaring ‘20s.

When Roxie Hart is put in prison for murder, she meets the singer-dancer Velma Kelly. It’s the age of jazz and speakeasies, when murderers meet in the big city.

This production has sold out remarkably fast. “Musicals are consistently a big attraction, and Chicago is especially popular,” commented the Executive Administrator of the theater, Mary Cahill.

Chicago will be presented October 13, 14, 20 & 21 at 8 p.m., and on October 15 & 22 at 2 p.m. The additional performance will be on October 18 at 8 p.m. Tickets are on sale now and can be obtained by calling the Possum Point Players Ticketline at 856-4560. Tickets are $15, or $14 for Seniors or students. Possum Point Players is sponsored in part by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Delaware Division of the Arts.

Police Journal Case review for police officer has been continued once again

By Lynn R. Parks For the second time, the case review for Bradley Cordrey, the Georgetown police officer charged in the Aug. 13 death of a Laurel veterinarian, has been continued.

Moped operator dies in crash The Delaware State Police Collision Reconstruction Unit is investigating a crash near Lewes in which a moped struck the rear of a parked vehicle killing the 42year-old moped driver, Neil Macfarlan of Bethany Beach.

On Sunday, Oct. 8, at 9:37 a.m., troopers responded to northbound Coastal Highway (Rt. 1) approximately 100 feet east of Rehoboth for reports of a moped versus vehicle crash.

Investigators report that a 2004 Venus Moped was traveling northbound on the right shoulder of State Rt. 1 when it struck the rear of a parked 1999 Chevy Camaro directly in front of Lee Slaughter Motors.

Upon striking the Camaro, the moped’s driver was sent over the handlebars into the rear window of the Camaro.

He then rolled overtop of the Camaro and came to a rest in the right lane of State Rt. 1.

The Camaro was legally parked on the

right shoulder while the operator, Daniel Hopple Jr, 32, of Red Lion, Pa., was walking through the parking lot of Lee Slaughter Motors.

Macfarlan was flown to Beebe Emergency Center where he was pronounced dead. He was wearing a helmet.

Northbound State Rt. 1 was reduced to one lane for two hours while the crash was being investigated.

Suspect awaiting extradition for Internet related solicitation The Delaware State Police High Tech Crimes Unit pursued information obtained from New Mexico investigators, which linked a Dewey Beach man to internet solicitation of children.

On September 18 the Delaware State Police High Tech Crimes Unit (HTCU) received information concerning a Delaware resident, Jeffrey M. Campbell, 28, of Dewey Beach, who had been communicating with an undercover officer of the Albuquerque, New Mexico Attorney General’s Office Internet Crimes against Children Task Force, who was posing as a 12-yearold girl.

These communications, which occurred in April and May of 2006 had lapsed temporarily but were reestablished in September of 2006 when notification to Delaware State Police was made.

State Police Investigators were advised that Campbell was soliciting sex from underage girls.

On October 1, 2006 the HTCU pursued investigative measures to establish telephone contact with Campbell to further investigate the requests Campbell had made of the undercover New Mexico Officer.

During a telephone conversation with an undercover Delaware Trooper, Campbell again solicited for sex and stated to her that she could come to live with him.

A search warrant was obtained for Campbell’s residence located in the first block of Ocean Winds, Dewey Beach, as well as arrest warrants for 7 counts of Sexual Solicitation of a Child.

The search warrant was executed on Friday October 6, 2006. During the execution of the search warrant, it was discovered that Campbell was at a relative’s residence in Elkton, Md. With the assistance of the Elkton Police Department, Campbell was arrested in Elkton as a fugitive from Delaware pending extradition.

DelDOT says US 13A bridge opening could be this Friday Del. 20 bridge opening expected week of October 23 Reopening of the bridge on US 13A over Morgan Branch between Blades and Laurel is expected to take place this Friday morning, Oct. 13, according to Tina Shockley, DelDOT Community Relations Officer.

Reopening of the bridge on Del. 20 over Horse Pen Branch, west of Seaford, is now expected to open the week of October 23, either Monday or Tuesday, Shockley said.

The bridges have been out since the June 25, 2006 rain storm that dumped more than 14 inches of rain in some areas in and around Seaford.

“Weather has played a big part of delays in opening the bridges,” Shockley said. “The bridges should open on these days, barring any bad weather. Most all of the work is done. Last minute inspections to ensure that the bridge is ready for use are what the focus will be on in these last few days,” Shockley said.

The Department appreciates the public’s patience as we work to get the bridges reopened,” Shockley said.

On July 24, crews began repairing the bridges on Rt. 13A and Rt. 20 that were washed out by flooding on June 25. In just one month emergency contracts were designed, bid, awarded and work was underway.

The bridges each had two contracts, one for the precast culvert and one for the actually bridge reconstruction. The precast culverts were awarded ahead of the construction project to expedite manufacturing, which ensured that the bridges would be repaired at a faster pace.

The bid for precast elements for the bridge on Rt. 20 over Horse Pen Branch was awarded to Terre Hill Concrete Products of Terre Hill, Pa., for $128,000. The bridge reconstruction contract was awarded to George and Lynch, Inc. of Dover at a cost of $394,000.

The bid for precast elements for the bridge on Rt. 13A over Morgan Branch was awarded to Gillespie Precast of Chestertown, Md., for $57,000. The bridge reconstruction contract was awarded to George and Lynch, Inc. of Dover at a cost of $322,000.

In mid-July, the bridge on Route 20 over Chapel Branch, near Penco Corporation and the bridge on Route 20 over Cool

Branch, east of Seaford, both of which were severely damaged, reopened to traffic.

As a recap of the Seaford flooding event, more than 30 roads were flooded when a severe storm system dumped nearly 13 inches of rain within a 24-hour period in western areas of Seaford on Sunday, June 25.

Initial inspection determined that nearly half the roads were reopened once the rain stopped and the water receded, including the Rt. 13 corridor in this area.

However, 12 roads were damaged (primarily areas of Rt. 20 east and west of Seaford) and four bridges washed out due to the floods. DART Bus Route 212 was suspended and Woodbridge High School was opened as a temporary shelter for anyone needing to evacuate their home.

‘Remembering DuPont in Seaford’ “Remembering DuPont in Seaford” is a special celebration that will take place in the Seaford Museum on Sunday, Oct. 22, from 1 to 4 p.m. It will be a great time to reminisce and remember.

Announcement of the decision by the DuPont Company to locate its first nylon manufacturing plant in Seaford, Del., was in the Seaford Leader on Oct. 21, 1938.

Jack Knowles, former DuPont employee and Seaford Historical Society trustee has organized hundreds of copies of old Threadlines, photographs and various pieces of DuPont Company artifacts for the museum. Anyone who ever worked at the DuPont Nylon plant will relish this opportunity to peruse and review these materials. There is even a scrapbook of memorabilia from the Cavalcade of America that was held here. Threadline issues from 1942 through 1953 had been bound by DuPont. Many singles copies from other years up to 1993 are available.

Tables and chairs will be set up in the Webb Room at the Museum for people to sit and enjoy looking at these collections that Knowles has presented to the Seaford Historical Society.

Members of the Society may partake of this celebration at no charge. Non-Members will have to pay the usual admission charge of $3 per person. For further information call Jack Knowles at 629-9889.

Bulldog defensive effort is wasted in loss to Raiders

The Laurel varsity field hockey team got on the board with a second half goal in a 51 home loss to Cape Henlopen last Wednesday.

The Vikings took a 2-0 lead into half-time on goals by Amanda Deloy and Leigh McIlvain. Cape held a 7-6 edge in shots and a 10-4 advantage in corners in the first half.

Deloy netted two more goals early in the second half before Laurel’s Tomorrow Briddell found Kristina Ward on the break to make it 4-1 with 6:11 left in the game. Deloy added one more goal with 4:11 left to give the Vikings a 5-1 win.

Cape Henlopen held an 18-9 advantage in shots and had 20 corners to the Bulldogs’ six. Dametra Hammond recorded nine saves in the loss.

By Pat Murphy The Woodbridge Raiders had to wait an extra night to play against the homestanding Laurel Bulldogs because of the rain on Friday, October 6. Coach John Parker of the Raiders, who improved to 23, feels it was well worth it. The Bulldogs fell to 1-4 with the loss.

This was a tight defensive game for both teams, although the Raiders did amass 373 total yards against a Bulldog defense that held them to one touchdown until the fourth quarter. The Woodbridge defense, led by Jordan Wescott, was not too shoddy either as they held the Bulldogs to 107 total yards and one late fourth quarter touchdown. Wescott had 10 solo tackles and eight assists for his efforts.

Freshman Josh Quinones of the Raiders was the story of the game, however, as he scored three touchdowns on runs of 42, 21, and 51 yards. The first run broke a scoreless game open with only 3:43 left in the second quarter.

The Raiders proved to be pesky in the opening drive as they kept the ball for 12 offensive play’s before Reuss Idler’s 25yard field goal attempt sailed wide to the right. The Bulldogs had the ball for only six offensive plays in the first quarter as Vondel Foreman, Alexander Shipley, and the Raider defense completely shut down the Bulldog offense.

The second quarter was more of the same as the Bulldogs failed to capture an early break. Esmond Ennis recovered a Woodbridge fumble on their 29 yard line but Tyler Smack, Wescott, Dan Cabrera, and others kept the Bulldogs right there.

HOURS: SEAFORD 5:30 AM - 11 PM LAUREL 10 AM - 10 PM

On a rainy day and a sloppy field, Seaford’s ongoing problems continued to plague them in a 33-20 loss to Delmar.

Both teams had to contend with poor playing conditions, mud and rain, but the Wildcats’ more experienced team scored in each of the first two quarters, then pushed in their final touchdown in the third quarter.

Jeremy Layton and Marquis Leatherbury each scored a pair of touchdowns for the Wildcats. Delmar finished with 396 total yards.

Seaford did answer back in the third quarter, when My’keal Purnell broke loose for an 83-yard touchdown run, which was followed by a Kyle Shockley extra point that brought the score to 33-7.

In the fourth quarter, Seaford scored two times, both on running plays (a 12 yard run by Mark Smith and a five-yard run again by Purnell that was capped off by another Shockley extra point).

Seaford coach Marc Dickerson was impressed with “the way we fought back in the fourth quarter, we finally were playing against sophomores and juniors,” he said. At that point Delmar had pulled most of their seniors out of the game.

Purnell ran for 146 yards and two

The Jays’ Jon Geniesse, a former Wildcat, tackles Delmar running back Tevin Jackson for a five yard loss during last Saturday’s game in Seaford. Delmar won the contest by the score of 33-20.

MORNING STAR

Delmar Sports Scene

By Tommy Young It’s a lot more fun to write about the local high school teams when they all win, at least the football, field hockey and soccer teams did, but as for the volleyball team, nothing was reported.

For the winners, it went like this. Despite the weather conditions, Coach Hearn and his football squad had a lot of fun Saturday as they not only racked up an easy win but also every player on the squad got a chance to play in the game.

Delmar kicked off to Seaford to start the game, and the Wildcats’ defense stopped them cold with the biggest play by the Delmar defense being a quarterback sack by Taylor Ballard which caused Seaford’s kicker to have to punt, something he got used to as long as the Delmar first string defense was on the field. Three plays later, the Wildcats scored their first TD of the afternoon on a 37-yard gallop by Jeremy Layton. Seth Benson’s kick was wide left.

Seaford went on offense again, and it was three plays and a kick. The rest of the first half was a repeat of the first series of downs for both teams, as Delmar’s defense did not let Seaford come close to getting any points on the board. Meanwhile, Layton added another touchdown while Marquis Leatherbury picked up a touchdown, and Tevin Jackson intercepted a pass and ran it back 40 yards for a touchdown to end the scoring before half-time. Seth Benson made all three of his extra point tries (the one miss hit the left side of the goal post), making the score 26-0 at the half.

Although Matt Campbell did not cross the goal line either time, he set up three of the four touchdowns with long runs of his own; in fact, while I did not see the final stats, I am sure he had more ground yards than any of the backs and that’s not counting his run backs of kickoffs and punts.

Because of the weather, quarterback Alan Preston did not throw as many passes as he usually does, but he did complete a good percentage of the ones he did throw. In all, he had a good game scrambling when he had to and running the offense very well.

As he always does, Coach Hearn, when he has a comfortable lead at half-time, let the first team play one series of downs and then turns the game over to the reserves, and this was the case Saturday. However, in the final offensive series for the first stringers, Leatherbury ran 60 yards for Delmar’s final score to make the score 33-0. Then Coach Hearn turned the game over to the reserves, and that’s when the Blue Jays did their scoring, although I thought the Delmar reserves played them pretty tough. In fact, if it were not for a couple of Delmar fumbles, Seaford might not have scored.

And how about Linda Budd’s field hockey team’s two wins to bring their record to 8-1 which keeps them right up there on top in the conference standings.

On Tuesday, they shut out Dover 8-0.

Things got a little tougher for the girls on Thursday as they had to go to overtime to nose out Seaford 3-2. Coach Budd felt they should have won it in regulation, but they got the “W” anyway. This was their second overtime win this year. That should tell you something about this team.

The Delmar soccer team must be really coming along after getting beat 2-1 by one of the best teams on the Shore (Worcester Prep) last week as they defeated Woodbridge on Tuesday 8-1.

ASSISTS AND ERRORS- Last week when I was in the Railroad Cafe for lunch, Linda, the boss, called me back in the cooking area and told me that the Delmar football players who come in for breakfast on “Game Day” are one of the nicest, most courteous group of young men she has ever served. She said they laugh and talk and seem like they are having a good time all through their meals, yet they carry on all their actions in a pleasant manner.

She also remarked that they must have good coaches and teachers at the high school and most of all good parents at home because that’s where it all begins for young people, like this group. All of the above should be congratulated. All I can say to that is “Amen.”

✳ OCTOBER 12 - 18, 2006 also good making the score 14-0.

A series of fumbles and recoveries including Kyle Avery’s kickoff recovery for the Raiders resulted in no scores until after a Woodbridge delay of game penalty that found them at midfield. Perry’s fake to Wescott and handoff to Quinones once again fooled the Bulldogs and Quinones again raced down the sideline for a 50yard touchdown with 4:09 left in the game. Idler was perfect again making it a 21-0 disappointment for Laurel fans.

Blake Hare brought the Woodbridge kickoff out to the Bulldog 40 yard line on the next series and the Bulldogs went to a shotgun offense for the first time this season. A dropped pass from Laurel quarterback Lance Kelley was followed by a catch by Kosiorowski who cut across the field and carried it to the Raider 20 yard line with time running out.

very first play after another failed offensive series by the Bulldogs, Quinones took the handoff around the right side and raced 42 yards for the first score of the game.

Idler’s extra point made it 7-0 and the Raiders took the seven point advantage into the locker room at half-time.

The Bulldog offense had the ball for seven plays to open the second half, keyed by Antwon Trimball’s 13-yard pass reception, but the drive stalled and the Raiders took over. The tenacious Laurel defense continued to hold on Woodbridge’s next possession and the following possessions were the same offensive frustration for both teams going into the fourth quarter.

A Laurel fumble by Ben Lloyd early in the fourth quarter proved fatal for the Bulldogs as Quinones took a handoff from quarterback Austin Perry and raced 21 yards for the second score of the game at the 9:15 mark of the fourth quarter (on the exact play he ran for a score before).

Laurel coach Ed Manlove said after the game that the shotgun plays were kind of a last resort that had not been working well in practice.

The Bulldogs play another Saturday game at Parkside on October 14 while the Raiders play a Thursday home game against Smyrna.

Game notes- Unnoticed in this hard hitting affair was the 187 yards rushing on 34 carries for Raider workhorse Jordan Wescott. Quinones had eight carries for 142 yards and three touchdowns. Eddie Stewart had 11 total tackles and Vondel Foreman had eight tackles and one batted pass for the Raiders. Cody Bristow continues to lead the Bulldog defense as he had 13 tackles and a fumble recovery.

Sophomore Josh Kosiorowski also had 13 tackles and senior Trent Passwaters had his best game since returning from an injury with 10 tackles and a fumble recovery.

Delmar hockey needs overtime to defeat Seaford, 3-2

By Mike McClure The Delmar varsity field hockey team held a 1-0 lead at half-time of last Thursday’s game in Delmar, but the Blue Jays came out fired up in the second half and eventually forced a seven-on-seven sudden death overtime. The Wildcats netted a goal less than four minutes into overtime to hold off their Henlopen South foes, 3-2.

Delmar’s Katie McMahon netted a goal with 23:26 left in the first half for the only goal of the half. Delmar held a 5-3 edge in shots and a 6-0 advantage in corners in addition to a 1-0 lead.

Wildcat senior Erin Tingle extended the lead to 2-0 early in the second half before the Jays stormed back. Kari Bergh dribbled the ball up field and fed Jessica Harper who rocketed a shot into the cage with 9:53 left in the game to make it 2-1.

Delmar had a pair of near misses as Alison Bloodsworth fired a shot off the left bar after taking a pass from Katie McMahon. Delmar’s Lindsay Lloyd knocked the ball in the circle on a corner and teammate Mallory Elliott fell into the goal as the ball trickled wide right.

Seaford took advantage of the missed opportunities as Harper netted her second goal of the game, this time on a feed from Kelsey Riggleman with 1:40 left to knot the score at 2-2.

The score remained tied through regulation, forcing the overtime period. After a near goal by Elliott, McMahon took a pass from Lloyd and scored the game-winning goal less than four minutes into overtime.

“I always expect a tough competition with Seaford. With Seaford and Laurel being as close as they are you really can’t look at records (going into the games),” Delmar head coach Linda Budd said. “They (Seaford) really dug deep and gave us all we could handle.”

“I think when we scored out first goal we kind of let up and one goal just isn’t going to do it,” added Budd.

Delmar advanced to 5-1 in Henlopen Conference play and 8-1 overall with the win while Seaford fell to 3-2-2 and 3-4-2. It was the second overtime loss for the Blue Jays, who also have a pair of ties.

Seaford High field hockey team has another emotional week

By Gene Bleile The Seaford hockey team had another emotional week with a 1-1 tie against powerhouse Milford and a sudden death overtime loss to top 10 ranked Delmar 3-2 during last week’s play.

The Jays started Tuesday’s game with instant fireworks when Kelsey Riggleman scored Seaford’s only goal of the game within the first minute of play.

“Kelsey drilled it past the Bucs goalie and it bounced off the back board inside the cage and came back on the field,” Coach Robin Verdery said after the game. “Bethany Cooper gave her a nice pass for the assist.”

The first period then turned into a defensive battle until three minutes to go in the period, when Milford tied the game on a penalty stroke. At the half, Verdery stressed to her young team that “we have played up to their level and not to let down in the second half. Continue to be aggressive and win the ball,” she added.

Milford must have gotten a similar pep talk at half, because the second period ended in another defensive standoff and into the overtime period with a final score knotted at 1-1. Milford had nine shots and Seaford had five shots for the game.

On Thursday, Oct. 5, Seaford gave powerhouse Delmar a scare, when they fought back in the second half and tied the score 2-2, to send the game into sudden death overtime. Nine minutes into the second period, the Jays Jessica Harper scored her first of two goals on an assist from Kari Bergh. With only a minute and a half left, Harper scored to tie the game on as assist from Kelsey Riggleman.

In the overtime period, Seaford’s comeback ran out of time, when the Wildcats’ Katie McMahon scored to ice the game. After the game, Verdery said she was proud of her girls comeback and even though the score didn’t show it, “we were a team of winners today.”

Seaford had six shots on goal, while the Wildcats had 11. Seaford falls to 3-4-3 overall and 3-2-2 in conference.

Don’t wonder where scrapple Doing the Towns Together comes from — just enjoy it LAUREL AND DELMAR SOCIALS Sarah Marie Trivits . 875-3672

Scrapple. That’s what it is all about this weekend in Bridgeville, one of the fastest growing little towns in our state.

This is the weekend of the AppleScrapple Festival, an event that began more or less as a fair and craft show and has grown to huge proportions, generating interest from far and wide.

For several years, in the beginning, the main thrust of the entire event was the huge craft show at the high school.

This event was well attended. The scrapple was a sideline, almost.

But, since the scrapple was headlined in the publicity, along with the apples, at some point the town fathers decided to involve scrapple on a higher level Scrapple is not for everyone. It is one of those foods you either really like or you won’t even consider tasting. It is as simple as that.

In this area, it is difficult to believe that there are those who have never even tasted scrapple. Nor are they even remotely interested in giving it a try.

Scrapple is rather native to this area, so I have learned.

My mother-in-law made wonderful scrapple. She and several of Chuck’s sisters would make several huge pans of scrapple every fall. His grandparents on either side of the family were dairy farmers. And they raised hogs on the side. So, hog killing in the fall was not something unusual to them. And, making scrapple was an ordinary sideline of the hog killing.

I learned very early in the game not to question how scrapple was made. Nor did I ask what went into the scrapple.

Especially after he and I bought half a pig one year and had it butchered and wrapped the various cuts of meat for the freezer. Chuck’s mother called and said, “Brother, bring me the head and I’ll make up a batch of scrapple for you and Mike.”

Bring me what? Until that moment in time I had never thought about what went into the scrapple I enjoyed.

Trust me, I never questioned what else went into the scrapple pot.

The Bridgeville Apple-Scrapple Festival attracts thousands of visitors and is always a great day. Lots of food of every variety, lots of crafts, all sorts of games that are pork-related, dignitaries from

Moments with Mike Virginia ‘Mike’ Barton every town in the area, and in this election year there will be a multitude of politicians.

At St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, scrapple is not on the menu. Instead they offer bowls of delicious chili. The ladies of the church have a craft sale and back by popular demand this year will be members of the DelMarValous Quilters Guild who will happily explain what quilting is all about.

No scrapple is available from St. Mary’s kitchen, nor from the quilters.

However, most of the quilters present will be able to tell visitors about the joys of eating a scrapple sandwich, or a slice of scrapple.

At our house we prefer our scrapple sliced a smidgen beyond one-quarter inch thick, cooked nice and brown and crispy on each side, with the center remaining nice and moist. Add your choice of ketchup, zesty mustard, or eat it plain.

Either way, full of calories, fat and cholesterol, when cooked properly there is absolutely nothing any better than a slice of scrapple.

Even those whose health does not permit scrapple will be tempted to have half a slice this Saturday in the town of Bridgeville.

As I bite down on that crispy taste treat, I don’t even think about taking that pigs head up to Queen Anne, to my mother-in-law. The thought of that head in the back of our old station wagon, sitting securely in a metal dish basin, cold eyes staring upward, but covered with an old piece of sheeting, is out of my range of thoughts.

Once again I concentrate on the tasty treat, and not what it is made of, nor where it came from. The taste treat wins out and overpowers everything else.

Norman Vincent Peale would be so proud of me!

Finally she was definitely drooling over some beautiful Waterford crystal for which the area is famous.

On Saturday, Oct. 14, the Delmar Library will show a matinee from 10 a.m. to noon. “The Wild” is for all ages.

Health Diabetes and its complications are serious

By Dr. Anthony Policastro I was looking through my archives of articles. I found that it has been about eight years since I last wrote about diabetes. It is a common problem. It is a serious problem. For those two reasons, it is important to think about it from time to time.

Insulin is a hormone that controls blood sugar levels. It lowers blood sugar after a meal. Diabetes is caused by a lack of insulin.

Type 1 Diabetes is found most commonly in younger individuals. There appears to be some relationship to immunity.

There also appears to be a genetic component. It runs in some families. These individuals have very little insulin. Therefore treatment always involves the use of insulin.

Type 2 Diabetes is found in mostly older individuals. It is usually associated with overweight. As more young people become overweight, it is seen more often in younger people. There is also a genetic component to this type. These individuals have some insulin. They can be treated with weight loss. They can improve with diet. They can also take medication to help their insulin out.

Once a person has been diagnosed as

Even though diabetes only affects 3.5 percent of the population (1 out of 30), it accounts for 15 percent of the health care dollar. being diabetic, he/she has the biggest challenge. Physicians can guide the treatment.

However, the individual becomes the one responsible for preventing the complications.

Even though diabetes only affects 3.5 percent of the population (1 out of 30), it accounts for 15 percent of the health care dollar. This is because of the many complications.

For example, the average annual cost of health care for the non-diabetic patient is $1,082. The average annual cost of health care for a diabetic is $4,415.

At one time we thought a diabetic could avoid complications if they had reasonable levels of elevated blood sugar. Now we realize that is not true. The closer the blood sugar is kept to normal, the less likely the individual is to have complications.

That means careful monitoring of blood sugar is essential. It means treatment of high levels of blood sugar is important. It means that proper diet is a must. That means that weight loss is a necessity. It means that the use of medication or insulin must be done as prescribed.

There are three areas where the improvement in complications has been measured when the blood sugar is well controlled.

The first of these is eye disease. Diabetics can suffer damage to the eye. Good control decreases the damage. Annual visits to the eye doctor can detect it earlier.

Surgery and blindness are the consequences of not doing so.

Good control reduces eye complications by 76 percent.

The second area is nerve and small blood vessel damage in the skin. This can cause skin ulcers and gangrene of the toes and feet. The treatment for foot ulcers is long and complicated. The treatment for gangrene is amputation. Good control reduces these complications by 60 percent.

The third major area is kidney problems. Diabetes affects the kidneys as well.

Many diabetic patients eventually require renal dialysis three times a week. Good control reduces these complications by 56 percent.

Diabetics also have a higher incidence of heart disease and stroke. This is due to the effects on the blood vessels in the heart and brain.

The evidence supports the likelihood that poor diabetic control will result in significant complications at the 10-15-year point after the diagnosis.

The result of all of these problems can be poor quality of life and early death.

There is evidence that maintaining a normal weight can reduce the incidence of the adult type of diabetes. This should be a goal for all of us for multiple reasons.

There is also evidence that the individual who develops diabetes can make their future medical status better by careful attention to treatment requirements.

If you or someone in your family has diabetes, this is important to remember. It is better to prevent complications than to deal with them later.

Dr. Anthony Policastro is medical director at Nanticoke Memorial Hospital.

Nanticoke announces new Wound Care & Hyperbaric Center Nanticoke Memorial Hospital has announced the opening of a new advanced Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center. The center specializes in the healing of chronic non-healing wounds.

This is a growing problem for many patients, especially for those who suffer from diabetes.

People with diabetes are prone to wounds that do not heal, particularly on their feet. In the U.S. alone, about 15 million people have been diagnosed with diabetes, and 15 percent of them, or more than 2.3 million will develop at least one foot ulcer, according to the American Diabetes Association.

In addition to diabetic foot ul-

cers, the wound center treats wounds including frostbite, nonhealing sores, carbon monoxide poisoning, and crush injuries.

The center offers two hyperbaric chambers to assist with oxygen saturation and advanced healing.

These clear tubes allow patients to lie comfortably inside and watch television while being pressurized and breathing pure oxygen (normally you breathe about 21 percent oxygen in the air). This is especially helpful for patients with circulatory issues.

Nanticoke Memorial Hospital’s new center is a joint venture with Medical Multiplex, Inc. based out of Louisville, Ky.. The company runs wound care pro-

grams in 12 states. The combination of advanced wound care techniques and adjunctive therapies with resources from all over the country give patients optimal care and positive outcome rates of over 90 percent of those who complete the recommended care plan. The center specializes in advanced wound healing technologies that include bioengineered skin grafts and silver-

based medications which inhibit bacteria and allow the body tissues to regenerate.

Nanticoke Health Services’ Chief Executive Office, Daniel Werner states “We are proud to be the first in the state of Delaware to offer an Advanced Wound Care Center that provides hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This technology, combined with the specialized skills of our Wound

Health Bulletins Mental Health, Depression Screening on October 21 Have you been feeling consistently moody or sad? Can’t relax or concentrate? Been alternating between highs and lows? Have you been troubled by unexplained aches and pains? Are you unable to eat or sleep? If so, you may be suffering from depression or a mental health disorder.

Daybreak Counseling Services is offering free mental health screenings for a range of common emotional situations that often go undiagnosed and misunderstood. If you haven’t been feeling like yourself lately, a screening can help you figure out what is wrong. Screenings for depression, bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder will be held at St. John’s United Methodist Church , Pine and Poplar Streets, Seaford, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 21.

“We are pleased to be able to offer depression screening to the community as part of this year’s event for Mental Health Awareness. Many people are not able to attend a screening event due to work, school or family commitments. This screening program offers people on a Saturday the opportunity for a free screening and confidential referral if necessary,” says Constance Hastings, Daybreak counselor and staff counselor for St. John’s Church.

As part of the in-person screening event, attendees will have the opportunity to complete a written self-assessment and talk one-on-one with a mental health professional. Those who appear to need further evaluation will be given referrals to local treatment services. Last year, more than 200,000 attended nationally.

Discharge Summary Delaware’s Division of Public Health (DPH) announces the release of Delaware’s 2001-2004 Hospital Discharge Summary Report. The document contains patient demographics, how and why patients were admitted to the hospital, how patients were discharged, average charges and length of stay by diagnosis, and patient distribution (what does that mean?). In addition, hospital and healthcare system profiles compiled by the Delaware Healthcare Association provide information on accreditation, ownership, medical staff and services.

Findings of the report include: Annual cesarean delivery rates in Delaware have increased significantly, from 22.9 cesareans per 100 deliveries in 1994 to 30.5 in 2004. This is similar to the national trend. In 2004, Delaware hospitals had shorter hospital stays, on average, than they did 10 years prior. Sixty percent of all hospitalizations had a duration of three or fewer days. The number of hospitalizations increased steadily over the four-year period from 2001 to 2004, rising from 100,681 in 2001 to 111,806 in 2004. Patients from outside of Delaware comprised 13.1 percent of all discharges in 2004, with the majority from Pennsylvania (5.1 percent), Maryland (4.5 percent), and New Jersey (2.6 percent).

Admissions from hospital emergency departments accounted for 48 percent of all hospital admissions from 2001 to 2004; 47 percent came from physicians, and the remaining 5 percent were admitted from clinics, HMOs, or transferred from other facilities.

74.6 percent of uninsured admissions come from emergency department.

The most frequent reasons for hospitalization fell under the category of diseases and disorders of the circulatory system, and include heart attack, heart disease, and stroke. From 2001 to 2004, an average of 11,418 women per year delivered their children in Delaware hospitals. The average length of stay for infants delivered by cesarean section are almost twice that of infants delivered vaginally, and the length of stay for infants who are part of a plural birth is three times that of single births.

MORNING STAR

✳ OCTOBER 12 - 18, 2006

Letters Seaford School Board should lead students to success In a town of 5,700, three people hold a key link to economic prosperity — the prosperity which is built from a thriving school system. And, the prosperity which provides not only skilled and knowledgeable young adults but also serves to build an informed citizenry — a necessary ingredient to our democracy. On a fivemember school board, three members can swing the Seaford School District into effective action for student achievement.

While I am sure the professional staff of the school works diligently to improve student learning, clearly student achievement, as reported by the district, lags behind the state and national average for secondary students and has not improved significantly in the last five years.

Why, year after year, do scores lag in the secondary schools? Could it be school and district administrators do not possess the skills and knowledge to implement success strategies to turn their schools around? Or, could it be the school board is not ensuring school policies are carried out with the goal of high student achievement? More than likely, it is a combination of the two which results in deflated student achievement at the secondary level despite gains made in the elementary schools.

I recently penned a letter to the school board regarding the 7-year curriculum project in the secondary schools. I questioned what had been done along the seven years to ensure teaching and learning strategies were kept abreast of this new curriculum. Further, I questioned how parents would use these new maps to work effectively with the school on student learning outcomes.

I reviewed the school’s district Web site (I encourage you to do the same) to determine how the public might use the curriculum maps and to review the alignment of school board goals to student achievement. Touted as the most significant curriculum effort in the secondary schools in the past decade, I was looking forward to reviewing the parent/community guide to curriculum and, being a former educator, the curriculum itself.

I need to keep looking — I found no parent/community guide to understanding the curriculum.

As someone knowledgeable about curriculum and teaching and learning, I understand curriculum maps; for parents and community, a guide would be useful. Furthermore, the posted curriculum maps consist only of middle school algebra.

Purportedly, the other maps are available; the district has not seen their way to posting them on their Web site. Let me make a suggestion: Have students pursue the posting on the Web site — then parents and community could review the work and more importantly, students might find out the expectations for their learning this year. From a learned perspective, the curriculum maps do not show alignment to the board of education local curriculum nor the State Content Standards—a stated goal of the project. Further, the learning objectives are stated as “students will de-

velop the ability”; the last time I checked objectives stated thus are not behavioral and cannot be easily assessed.

Effective schools make learning and assessment explicit, i.e. students know what they are going to learn and know how they are expected to show evidence they have learned. It is hoped the district will continue to polish this stone as it seems kind of jagged at this juncture. Clearly, school administrators should be developing projects which at least meet accepted professional standards for learning outcomes. The school board should be seeking evidence from administrators on the success strategies which will be used to implement the curriculum to ensure student achievement improves.

What about the school board’s role in this process? Effective school districts hold student achievement as paramount to success. Essentially, keys to effective schooling involve a focus on student achievement, frequent and varied assessment, professional development focused on teaching and learning, and effective parent/community involvement. It seems to me, the School Board should be focused on that effort. However, when you again review the district’s web site, to determine School Board goals for the year, you have to go to the August Board minutes to see what was approved. How many people would know to do that? Wouldn’t it be easier to simply post Board Goals separately on the web site? It would seem so if the goal was school accountability?

The board approved the following 2006-2007 Board Priority Goals: 1) Improve relations with the community; 2) Increase the district’s local operating revenues; and 3) Continue to update the staff and community with respect to how the district plans to spend the additional funds that will become available as a result of the passage of the current expense referendum in February 2006. I don’t know about you, but I didn’t read anything in the three goals about student achievement.

One would hazard a guess about the last time the school board had a goal regarding student achievement. Is it coincidence it was the same time the district administration decided it didn’t want to be held accountable for the lack of student achievement at the secondary level? It seems to me the school board needs to rethink their 2006-2007 priority goals.

If the school board does not think student achievement is critical, why would anyone who works in the district worry about focusing on student learning? In this scenario, student achievement becomes a by-product of taxpayer dollars, not the focus of those dollars.

Researchers have provided ample evidence of the connection between effective schools and vibrant communities. Where there is high student achievement, there is a strong correlation to economic prosperity and community well-being. Seaford voters recently voted no to annexation largely due to concern over infrastructure development in conjunction with housing development. School improvement is no less important, and I offer, it is as vital to infrastructure development and a key component of a holistic process.

The school board needs to make some

key adjustments—a focus on student achievement and a focus on holding district and school professionals accountable for improving student achievement at all levels. It only takes three of you to start the ball rolling. Hopefully, Seaford won’t have to wait another decade to see this happen.

Mennonite school taking steps after shootings in Pennsylvania Editor’s note: The following letter was sent following the shootings at a private school in Pennsylvania.

All of our hearts have been saddened by the shootings at the Nickel Mines Amish school. Our prayers are with the people who live in that area, and especially with those families who had loved ones killed, or injured. We also want to keep Mrs. Roberts and her children in our prayers.

This event happened close to us at the Greenwood Mennonite School in several ways: geographically, culturally, and it was a private school. When this kind of event happens this close to us it makes us take a look at our own security measures more closely. For now and the near future we are locking all doors during school hours except the front door by the office. When students go from one class to another class all travel will be inside the school. We will have the doors which students usually use upon arrival at school open from 8:20-8:30 a.m.

This is an inconvenience with which we can live.

Please feel free to call the school and talk to us about any concerns you may have.

Larry J. Crossgrove Principal, Greenwood Mennonite School

The days of casting votes along party lines are over This coming election is a strange one.

We are in a war, yet we are not united to win it. Political party politics puts its agenda ahead of our country’s best interests…

Yet, the ultimate effect will be upon us, not upon them.

It is a time to think about who we vote

for and what it will mean later if we elect the wrong candidates.

The days when you just voted blindly for the political party of your choice are over. No one party really represent us completely — we have to pick and choose the people within them. Both parties have conservatives and liberals, and though the mix is not the same, both exist. The days of simple party choosing are over. Hard as it is, we have to think carefully what is best for us and for our country. It is not easy but it is necessary.

For the first time in our history since the revolution against England we have those within us who are siding with the enemy and they do it openly. They call it free speech.

We have politicians who use the current war against terrorism, as serious as it is, to further their aim to regain political power.

Their attacks are not against the terrorists, they are against our government, our very survival. Their words are picked up by the terrorists and turned into added hatred toward our troops and our country. Their accusations against our troops are used to dishonor them and to uphold the enemy.

They know no bounds in their attempt to regain power, even if it is at the expense of making America look mean and smaller in the world’s eyes, and even accuse it of torture of innocent terrorists held by us in relatively luxurious captivity .

How do we tolerate these unpatriotic attacks from within upon our world safety? What good does it do them to try to elevate themselves at the expense of the nation’s reputation as model of moral authority? Our patriotic soldiers are fighting for us and willing to give up their lives for our country. Yet, we have a political party that is willing to give up our country for their political lives. As hard as it is to admit, it is the Democratic Party.

On the other hand, the other alternative is a political party that poses as conservative but plays at liberalism behind the scenes. Only one thing comes to mind about liberalism and that is it shows itself to be the enemy of the Founding Fathers’ Constitution and Bill of Rights. They built into them a superb set of moral conditions that enabled us to rise to our present stance of top of the world morality, based upon their true rules of statesmanship.

We have to realize that our national moral strength is our one great feature that

MORNING STAR sets us apart - and we don’t value it as we should. We have organizations such as the ACLU that scheme carefully and endlessly to destroy the values of the Founding Fathers. They use shyster-lawyer tactics to urge about-face opinions on basic moral issues, urging use of international laws to encourage disregard for the Constitution, influencing the Supreme Court to forget they are there only to interpret that document and not to adopt perverse ideas. That only encourages our Congress to serve their lobbyists instead of their constituents.

We are in the middle of a political morass that not only deserves a time-out for thinking but absolutely demands it.

Let us start our thinking by realizing the basis of our problem. Exactly what is a conservative and what is a liberal? Actually, even though ridiculed, a conservative is merely one who stands up for those moral qualities that made us a great nation. It is someone who believes in God and the life God describes for us, who loves and respects his neighbor, does not steal nor bear false witness, is faithful to his wife and children, and who respects life. Yet those qualities instilled in generations before us by the Ten Commandments are despised and ridiculed as fanatical “conservative.”

And why is that? What is evil in those motives? Nothing is. But there is a reason behind hatred of the Ten Commandments.

The reason is that the Ten Commandments are a major part of the basis of civil and moral law. Over the centuries, they have helped to shape the world that recognizes them into a relatively peaceful society. Without those principles, there would be total chaos.

Disregarded, there are no restrictions on hate, murder, stealing, lies, slander, abortion, disrespect, marital infidelity. Pornography, homosexuality — you name it, anything goes. Liberals do not wish to be restricted from doing whatever it occurs to them to do. Without a restriction to truth, they can lie, deceive, scheme and kill with impunity. Unchecked, it can go to any lengths to achieve a purpose - and the result is anarchy in law. The ACLU specializes in it. By their attacks on the Ten Commandments, they can propose any evil idea as an authorized and legal civil “right” an exact opposite of what the Constitution and Bill of Rights intended. They are in collusion with their liberal pals in Congress and in federal courts and their corrupted Supreme Court liberals. The simple reason for attack on religion is not that those who practice it are dangerous fanatics, it is that they do not agree to kick God out to let anything whatever in.

Liberalism, therefore, is just a way to circumvent the Founding Fathers who gave

up their lives for their country. It wants to substitute the un-founding fathers of today who wish to give up their country for their political party’s life, and their own joy in deceiving the American people. These are harsh words indeed, but they are unfortunately true. The issue is not just a trading of ideas; it is the casting away of our national unity and strength which means national survival. .

They are clever and they are good at spreading hate. They particularly hate Christianity which preaches love, because they secretly follow the dictum of hate.

Just disagree with them and they really pour it on. They are good at it. Christianity is bad in their eyes because it puts a damper on hate.

So, in this coming election, remember it is a time to clean house. Those in present political power in Delaware who are in conflict with the ideal of giving up their lives for America, and who are living a life of opposite values, screen them out by voting for a person who is more American.

Forget political party; vote for the person.

If he or she does not fit the ideal American model of good character, truth and integrity, don’t give a vote. If both parties are less than ideal, vote for the one who is at least a better choice But, above all, vote for the candidates that put America first. Remember that the best political candidate is not the best liar.

You would have an impossible time trying to find that one - there are so many good at it. Find one that is not so good, one you think you can trust, one that acts out of a real love of country, one that realizes he is an elected public servant, not a freelance con artist.

We have to ask ourselves who, regardless of political party, possesses the brains, the wisdom, the education, the experience and the integrity to do the best job for our country. We need statesmen, not hack politicians who are in it for themselves and not for us. We need to carefully screen them and cast out the self-serving ones, even those already in office. In the old days, a wise layman would accept an elected office in order to give it his wisdom and integrity at his own expense, not to gain from it personally. They sacrificed their lives for our nation, not to get fat on it.

They had to neglect their personal lives to serve their county. Contrast that to our present day politicians, most of whom do not even qualify as statesmen, and who hardly ever succeed in making a personal imprint on the history of the United States.

Why? Because they just don’t have it in them.

Every position in our elected government offices should be filled with the best

qualified, not the best actor. In the army, a new recruit is not made a general, nor in the navy is a kid off the farm made an admiral. In Delaware today, we have a nice young man, Beau Biden, newly out of law school, without a rounded legal experience nor a wide record of legal knowledge, who wants to be the Attorney General. Wisdom comes with age and experience. Why would anyone so obviously inexperienced or unqualified nominate himself as the top legal man in Delaware? Could it be because he considers it a political goal and not an opportunity to serve the people? We have others in Delaware who do just that.

Like father, like son?

On the other hand, why do our members of the Senate, Biden and Carper, always vote the far left liberal agenda when the people of Delaware are basically conservative? Why does our member of the House of Representatives vote more with the opposite Party than his own? Why does our Governor allow developers to invade our counties and profit from over-development that will result in lower quality of living but higher taxes for everyone in order to give a select few politicians and their developer pals big real estate profits?

Delaware is a rapidly developing state, with economic, legal and moral standards so long established being circumvented and turned upside down by both political parties who are serving themselves at the ultimate expense of the unaware taxpayers who vote by rote.

Those days of simple trust of your elect-

We have to ask ourselves who, regardless of political party, possesses the brains, the wisdom, the education, the experience and the integrity to do the best job for our country. We need statesmen, not hack politicians who are in it for themselves and not for us. ed officials are over. Delaware has been invaded by the more sophisticated and corrupted ideals of surrounding states whose citizens are flocking here to escape what is entering with them. To preserve the innate good character of Delaware, we need to consider this next election as a first step to preserve what is left of the old-fashioned integrity this state had that made it what it was. It is worth fighting for.

So, consider very carefully who you vote for in the next election. Good men exist in both parties and they should be selected on their own merits and not on party political spin. Do some checking.

In both political parties there are candidates who put America first. Find them and vote out those who do not fit the mold.

Think about it. The rest of your life you have to live by the result of that vote.

Editorial When do you stop a lunatic?

U.S. Senator Joseph R. Biden, Jr. (D-DE) issued the following statement on October 9 in reaction to reports of North Korea’s test of a nuclear weapon: “North Korea’s nuclear test is a deliberate and dangerous provocation. It could spark a regional arms race that is in no one’s interest. This is a tremendous test for U.S. diplomacy and the resolve of our partners starting with China and South Korea. More pressure on North Korea is necessary, but not sufficient.

We need a strategy that convinces the North to stop making bombs and put all of its fissile material under international monitoring. I believe that strategy must include direct engagement with the North. The failure to engage only gives North Korea more time to build and test more nuclear weapons.”

Question: How many lunatics does it take to make the world unsafe?

Answer: Just one.

Members of the United Nations are talking about sanctions, but such actions will not put enough pressure on North Korea’s leadership. They are messing with our planet when they set off underground explosions that are powerful enough to register the same as earthquakes. If they set off a destructive global chain reaction the debate ends. There is no other place to go to live.

Question: How long do you allow a ruler to continue down a path that can lead to nuclear war?

Answer: The answer is you stop them BEFORE it is too late.

We hope our leadership unites to stop this threat.

Sen. Biden is a major component of our efforts to take action. We encourage him to make it a bi-partisan effort.

As the Election day draws closer, I feel it is important to restate this newspaper’s policy on election coverage.

We are not interested in getting drawn into the middle of debates between candidates.

We are not interested in attending so-called “news conferences” at which candidates feed the media carefully prepared position papers.

We especially are not interested in allowing our news space for mudslinging.

What we are interested in (and I hope readers are, too) is how the candidates will vote on key issues if they are fortunate enough to get elected.

And we want to provide each candidate with the opportunity to tell why they are the better choice.

We are offering the candidates equal space to state their positions and to point out differences.

As I stated a few weeks ago, our staff is comprised of members of both major political parties along with at least two Independents. We are careful to be fair to all political persuasions. We do not take our responsibilities to the public or the candidates lightly.

Again, part of our purpose is to encourage a high voter turnout. After living through the ordeal of the 2000 Presidential Election, we are keenly aware of the importance of every vote.

We plan to publish an “Issues and Answers” section prior to the November Election. All of the candidates will be given an opportunity to respond, even those of the minor political parties.

Once again, here are some of our other Election policy guidelines: • Upon filing for office, we will allow any candidate an opportunity to announce his or her candidacy and to briefly state his or her positions in an initial news release.

• Elected officials have an advantage over challengers. Some office holders like to remind us that they were the “driving force” behind efforts to bring improvements to the area.
