Bridgeville proclaims Red Ribbon Week, discusses festival, carolling, truck traffic By Mike McClure The Bridgeville Commission approved a proclamation honoring Red Ribbon week during its meeting on Monday. The board received a report from two members of the young marines program before adopting the proclamation recognizing Oct. 23-31 as Red Ribbon week. Member Danielle Swilley said the young marines program is a youth service education program for children ages 8-18. Members go through a 26-hour boot camp and are able to earn rank and ribbons upon graduation. The group participates in parades, visits veterans, and takes part in drug resistance programs. Swilley said she plans to take part in the program until she graduates and joins the Marine Corps. Brenda Lomax spoke about Red Ribbon week, during which citizens are asked to show support for a drug free state by wearing a red ribbon. The event, which was adopted by Congress in 1988, is done in honor of Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) killed in the line of duty. The Commission voted, 5-0, to adopt the proclamation. Town Manager Bonnie Walls called the Bridgeville Open, which provided $2,500 for three local organizations, and the Apple-Scrapple Festival a success. She also reported that the town’s clean up day took

place Sept. 26. The town will hold trick or treat on Saturday, Oct. 31, for children 12 and under. It will take place from 6-8 p.m. with a Halloween party, sponsored by the Lions Club, to take place at 8 p.m. Commissioner Pat Correll, who chairs the annual Caroling in the Park, told the Commission that there is a scheduling conflict with the event. The event takes place the first Friday in December and draws about 25 to 30 people. Correll said the fire department is having its family night that night and that the person who usually plays Santa will be unavailable. “If we don’t have anybody to do the job I think maybe we need to revamp it,” said Correll. Commission President Bill Jefferson suggested that the town accept canned good donations at town hall, instead of at Caroling in the Park, and that the town hold a caroling event at a later date. Commissioner Mike Collison said he was disappointed by the number of trucks that were stopped by the police department. Collison, referring to the monthly police report, said only 12 trucks were stopped and eight were ticketed. “At some point the police department is going to realize that the Commission is serious about getting truck traffic out of town,” Collison said.

Ralph Scott III is Chamber’s 2009 Business Person of the Year Continued from page one

Both of Ralph’s parents inspired him and supported him when he purchased the business. Ralph’s mother worked in the store from the 1970s to the 1990s as secretary and sales person. Ralph, Jr. had the vision to move the store to the major north-south road in western Sussex County. Ralph Jr. was also one of the first furniture stores to advertise on television. Ralph III and his brother Jeff Scott purchased the business in 1990. Four years later, Jeff left to pursue a career in music and teaching. Scott’s Furniture store continues to believe in low prices on quality furniture and bedding, friendly knowledgeable service, and a trustworthy sales staff. They believe in building long-term relationships with their customers and employees through a genuinely forthright approach to home furnishings throughout the complete buying experience. Ralph Scott III graduated from Wood-

Committee will study feasibility of golf club purchase By Lynn R. Parks

Seaford Mayor Ed Butler has appointed five men from the community to a committee to study whether the city should buy the Seaford Golf and Country Club. Serving on the committee will be John Leverage, William Robertson, David Sacks, Richard Thek and Bill Harper. Also appointed to the committee is Councilman Bill Bennett. Vice Mayor Rhea Shannon will act as the committee chairman. Representing the city staff will be

Trisha Newcomer, Seaford’s economic development and information and technology manager, and Tracy Torbert, who will act as secretary. Butler announced his picks for the committee during Tuesday night’s council meeting. They were approved by unanimous vote. Last month, members of the country club voted to give its board the authority to sell the club property, including the clubhouse and golf course. The sale is being forced by declining membership. According to Butler, the mission of the

Laurel man injured in ‘freak’ accident By Tony E. Windsor

Dale Boyce, long known as “The Voice” of the Laurel Bulldogs football team, was injured on Wednesday, Oct. 7, when a tree limb fell and struck him while he was doing yard work at his Laurel home. A school bus was driving by Boyce’s home at about 3:30 p.m. and children saw him lying in the yard and emergency support was called. On Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 13, his daughter, Brenda James, said her father was on a respirator at the shock trauma unit and scheduled for an MRI of his brain. “We are waiting on the results of the MRI, but it does not look good right now,” she said. “It seems that things have gone downhill since Saturday night. We are all

in such shock.” Boyce’s longtime friend, Sen. Robert Venables, Laurel, was traveling on Tuesday morning to Baltimore to visit Boyce. He said it is a shock because of how “freak” the accident was that injured his friend. “He was out in the yard raking acorns,” Venables said. “He has so many Oaks in his yard that he had raked up three wheelbarrow loads of acorns before the accident.” Venables said he went to Boyce’s home after the accident and walked around the yard where the tree limb had fallen. “That limb fell down between 45 and 50 feet and was about six-inches in diameter. One section of it was six-feet long. I am sure Dale did not know what hit him. This is so tragic and shocking,” he said.

committee will be to “research and put together a plan of purchase and [operation] once purchased.” The committee will investigate the lease agreement between the club and the DuPont Company, which owns the land on which the golf course’s last nine holes are located. It will get an appraisal of the 90-acre property, something which could be provided by city staff, and look at how best to operate the club should the city buy it. Committee members will also weigh options for the club’s tennis courts and

swimming pool and look at how area publicly-owned golf courses are run. And finally, they will review a proposal to allow the Nanticoke Senior Center to use the clubhouse as a senior center and fitness center. The senior center’s lease with the Western Sussex Boys and Girls Club is due to run out in March. Butler gave no timeline for the committee. But city manager Dolores Slatcher has said that, if everything falls into place, it would be the city’s goal to have the clubhouse opened as a senior center by March, when the center’s current lease expires.

Holiday decorations to get low-energy bulbs By Lynn R. Parks

The city of Seaford is going green — at least with some of its Christmas decorations. A switch from incandescent light bulbs to low-energy LED bulbs is being driven by economics. The city council Tuesday night voted to spend $10,040 on new LED bulbs, to replace bulbs in the city’s red and green candle street decorations and in the large white star that sits on top of the water tower. Total energy savings over the course of the holiday season will be nearly $2,200, according to director of power Rick Garner. The city will also save money on replacement bulbs and on the labor required to change them, as LED lights have a longer life than do incandescent bulbs, Garner said.

The city has $4,000 budgeted for bulb replacements this year. The remaining $6,000 to pay for the new LED lights will come from the power department reserve account. Council members followed Garner’s recommendation that the city not replace the bulbs in the snowflakes that decorate downtown. Cost to purchase LED lights for the snowflakes would be $3,024 and the energy savings would be $231 a year. Garner told the council that the city has in stock a number of replacement bulbs for the snowflakes. Assistant city manager Charles Anderson told the council that he had seen LED bulbs in the holiday decorations and they are barely distinguishable from traditional bulbs. “They have a very nice impact,” he said.

Sussex County Association of Realtors plans gala The backdrop may be different in 2009, as well as the formal name of the organizing committee. But the mission remains exactly the same – members of Sussex County’s real estate community are coming together again this holiday season to help those less fortunate. And they are coming together in force. The Sussex County Association of Realtors’ annual auction and gala is being organized by the relatively new Community Service Foundation this year. The foundation was established in January to help a wider range of people through multiple organizations. The setting for this year’s event is Independence Hall near Millsboro on the evening of Thursday, Oct. 22. Nearly 300 tickets are available for the gala, at a total

cost of $40 per person. Over the years, thousands of needy Sussex County children have been helped through the efforts of the county’s realtors. More than 640 received assistance in 2008, with most children receiving a winter coat, a new outfit and a toy to open on Christmas Day. Their work has been recognized by several organizations through the years, culminating in an outstanding volunteer award from Gov. Ruth Ann Minner in 2006. Breaking with tradition, SCAOR is opening the event up to members of the general public this year for the first time. What’s not changing, however, is the long-held competition between local real estate agencies to one up one another,

while keeping in the holiday spirit. “It’s always been tradition for real estate companies to each donate a large basket for the auction,” reveals Gallagher. “Part of that tradition is that no one knows what’s in those baskets until the day of the auction.” Either donated by local businesses or purchased by members of the giving office, items in the past have ranged from gift certificates to trips and even cruises. One year, there was even a car included in one of the baskets. After more than a decade of serving worthwhile local charities through its Realtor Community Service (RCS) Committee, SCAOR announced in January the founding of its Realtors’ Community Service Foundation, a new charitable trust

who’s 501(c)(3) status is still pending with the Internal Revenue Service. Some of the organizations aided by the work of SCAOR’s RCS committee over the years include Habitat for Humanity, the Howard T. Ennis School, the Sussex Consortium, the Boys & Girls Clubs and Westside New Beginnings in Rehoboth Beach. Tickets for this year’s auction and gala are $40, which includes heavy hors d’oeuvres and one drink ticket. The event is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 22, from 5:30 to 10 p.m. at Independence Hall in Millsboro. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.scaorstore.com or call the Sussex County Association of Realtors at 855-2300.

Legislation strengthens protection against mortgage rescue scams Governor Markell recently signed legislation into law clarifying protection of homeowners in foreclosure. House Bill 232 clarifies that companies that offer to negotiate modifications of secured debt, such as a mortgage, on behalf of consumers are subject to the provisions of the Mortgage Rescue Fraud Protection Act, which prevents companies from charging homeowners who are in foreclosure thousands of dollars in up-front fees

to negotiate with loan servicers or lenders. The recent bill-signing ceremony is part of broad action initiated by the State this year to respond to the foreclosure crisis. In September, Governor Markell and President Judge James Vaughn announced the establishment of a Foreclosure Mediation Program, which allows homeowners to participate in a court mediation process with their lender to find a mutually agreeable alternative to foreclosure.

In June, the Attorney General’s Mortgage Fraud Task Force was formed. The Task Force, in conjunction with the Delaware State Housing Authority, Office of the State Bank Commissioner, directs homeowners to Delaware’s HUD-certified housing counselor, links homeowners with Delaware’s Mortgage Assistance Program (DEMAP) and other government services that provide mortgage assistance, and takes aggressive law enforcement action against

Open Houses

foreclosure scams. Task Force partners sponsor free monthly housing workshops statewide to assist homeowners in need. A complete list of state housing events is posted at www.deforeclosurehelp.org. Homeowners who are worried about missing a mortgage payment, are facing foreclosure, or who suspect a foreclosure scam are encouraged to call the Attorney General’s Mortgage Hotline at 1-800-2205424.

MORNING STAR • OCTOBER 15 - 21, 2009

Byway public hearing in Seaford Western Sussex County residents will have an opportunity in the next few weeks to offer their suggestions on a proposed scenic route that will showcase the area’s history and promote rural tourism. The Western Sussex Scenic and Historic Byway Advisory Committee will hold three public hearings in October and November to take comments on a proposed route linking cultural sites in the western part of the county. The route designation would extend more than 22 miles in the area of the U.S. 13 corridor, snaking its way on existing back roads from Seaford to Bethel and Laurel. The hearings will take place at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 21, inside Seaford City Hall, 414 High St., in Seaford; 7 p.m.

Wednesday, Oct. 28, inside Laurel Town Hall, 201 Mechanic St., in Laurel; and at 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 2, inside Bethel Town Hall, Main Street, in Bethel. Sussex County is sponsoring the effort, a necessary step for an application to be made to the Delaware Department of Transportation, which must approve the byway designation. That application is expected to be submitted by early 2010. If approved, federal funds would be sought to help draft a corridor management plan, a document that would identify ways to link and draw attention to historical landmarks along the route. For more information, contact County Historic Preservation Planner Dan Parsons at 302-856-6138 or visit http://dspace.udel. edu:8080/dspace/handle/19716/4238.

are roasted on site, cakes made by the Pellman family, a Lancaster County family that has been baking for more than 50 years, and pies made by Clara Coblentz, Dover. The store also sells bulk spices and candy. In 2007, the Petersheims put up a second building and started selling furniture, most of which is made in the Amish and Mennonite communities in Pennsylvania. Much of the furniture is from the Keystone Collection, made by the Martin family near Myerstown, Pa. Some furniture is available for sale from the floor, but most of it can be ordered, Glenda says, which allows the customer to select the style, wood, stain and finish. All of the furniture is made from solid wood, no veneers, Glenda says, and the finishes are completely waterproof. Each piece of furniture comes with a 25year guarantee.

“These are pieces that you can pass on to your family,” Glenda says. The quality of the wood is such that even if a piece has to be refinished, “it will still be beautiful,” Sam adds. Sam says that for now, he is focused on “getting the furniture store on its feet.” In the future, he says, he would like to add a bakery to the store, so that baked goods can be produced right there, and start selling local produce. “Whatever we may add, it will be based on quality,” he says. For your information The Dutch Country Market is located at 11233 Trussum Pond Road, just off U.S. 13 south of Laurel. The furniture store is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The food market is open Thursday and Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For information, call 875-1608.

Fashion show will benefit study abroad scholarships at Del Tech Hosting events to benefit scholarships is not unusual for community colleges since the need to provide financial assistance to students often exceeds available resources. The upcoming Couture & Class fashion show and luncheon at Delaware Technical & Community College was established for just that reason; however, the scholarships have very specific purpose — to fund study abroad scholarships. Lewes resident Sue Saliba, Delaware Tech alumnus, college trustee and member of the Owens Campus Development Council, was the brain child of this event. A native of Senegal, West Africa and fluent in four languages, she has had the good fortune to travel, visit other countries, and experience first-hand how enriching an experience that can be. It was her intent to provide an avenue for funds that would enable Owens Campus students to enjoy the same opportunity.

Group presents Shakespeare play

William Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew will be the first public performance of the Possum Point Players’ newest subgroup New Faces of Shakespeare (NFS). Directed by NFS leader Beverly Smith of Seaford, this boisterous romantic comedy will play at Possum Hall on Sunday, Oct. 18 at 3 p.m. Smith contacted the American Shakespeare Center for this slightly shorter version of The Taming of the Shrew. Although the original play has been edited, this remains a fast – paced love story that is full of laughs. Why are there insults in a love story? There is some strong sibling rivalry between Bianca – the charming younger sister played by Lexi August of Lewes – and her elder, shrewish sister Katharina – being portrayed by EJ Panico of Seaford. Of course, the many suitors to charming Bianca take every opportunity to spar verbally, too. Tickets for “The Taming of the Shrew” are $5, and may be reserved by calling the Possum ticketline at 856-4560. They may also be purchased at the door. All seats are general admission (no assigned seats).

Fashion jewelry sale

Shop for jewelry in the lobby at Nanticoke Memorial Hospital on Thursday, Oct. 15, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Friday, Oct. 16, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Look-In Glass Shoppe at Nanticoke Memorial Hospital is hosting an “In Design” sale featuring the latest trends in fashion jewelry at great savings. All jewelry items are $6 each, and other select items will be available at greatly reduced prices. Payroll deductions are available for eligible NHS employees. All proceeds from The Look-In Glass Shoppe benefit Nanticoke Health Services.

Keeping your Child Safe program

The Keeping your Child Safe Program will be held on Friday, Oct. 16 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in the Seaford District Library Meeting Room. This is a free program for parents and other caregivers. Includes home and vehicle safety, lead poisoning prevention, fire safety and more on how to keep children safe. Attendees will receive checklists, handouts and giveaways. This program is presented by Sussex Parents As Teachers. For more information, contact Anna Scovell at 856-5239.

Delaware Tech offers international education/study abroad programs in many countries as diverse as Scotland, Russia, Mexico, Vietnam, Turkey, Ireland and Ecuador. Studying abroad helps students acquire an international outlook and the skills that will provide them with a competitive edge in the job market, higher education, or simply to work and live in a culturally diverse world. “The experience of being a foreigner in another country is a great way to under-

stand and appreciate what it is like to be a foreigner in our country,” noted Dr. Ileana Smith, vice president and Owens Campus director. The opportunity reinforced the goals of nursing student Brooke Fleetwood. “Even though I have not completed my studies to become a nurse, this trip made me want to be a nurse even more and possibly venture out into the world helping less fortunate and special needs children in a completely different way than I would have before this trip.”

The fashion show and luncheon will be hosted by the Owens Campus Development Council on Saturday, Nov. 21 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Carter Partnership Center. Ticket price is $25 per person and includes lunch. A table for eight may be reserved for $175. Ten dollars per ticket is tax-deductible. Seating is limited; tickets are available by reservation only until Nov. 13. To purchase tickets, call Delaware Tech at 302-855-1659 or visit www. dtcc.edu/fashionshow.

Bridgeville’s Apple Scrapple Festival another big hit By Lynn R. Parks

The Dufendach family from Milford was all ready for the scrapple chunking, the Apple Scrapple Festival’s answer to the Olympics’ shot put competition. Dad Mark, mom Debby and son Andrew had been practicing. “Maybe it’s a little bit strange, but it’s become a family activity,” said Debby, watching the children’s competition and preparing mentally for the women’s round. Mark, a veteran of the chunking with two ribbons under his belt, had built a 6-pound replica of a block of scrapple, she said, and at a nearby schoolyard, the family took turns perfecting their scrapple throwing methods. “Yes, we’ve actually been practicing,” Debby said, laughing. “We always made sure that no one else was there to see us.” The blocks of scrapple that competitors throw at the scrapple chunking weigh only 5 pounds. So when Debby Dufendach stepped into the thrower’s box in the field behind Woodbridge High School, she had a distinct advantage, not only from her practice but from being used to throwing a heavier block. And that advantage served her well, as she walked away from the competition with the first-place prize. Her winning throw: 62 feet 6 inches. “My practicing paid off!” she an-

nounced. The scrapple chunking is a signature event of Bridgeville’s annual Apple Scrapple Festival, the 18th of which was held this weekend. Despite Saturday-afternoon drizzles, nearly 100 people turned out to compete and to cheer on competitors. Not everyone there was as prepared as Debby Dufendach. Tammy Bresnahan, Severna Park, Md., was pushed into competing after her nephew, Devin Sears, and son, Sam, signed her up. “She used to be a good softball player,” said Sears. “And she made me sign up,” added Sam, 11, who threw the scrapple 48 feet 4 inches in the youth competition. “I did it reluctantly, but I did it,” said Bresnahan, whose throw was 32 feet. “That block of scrapple is really heavy!” The chunking field wasn’t the only place where scrapple could be found. Sandwiches made from the spicy meat were available at several food stands in town, including at the stand being operated by the Bridgeville Senior Center. “We’re going to cook up 1,000 pounds of scrapple,” said center director Fran Smith. The scrapple was donated by Rapa, the 83-year-old scrapple making business based in Bridgeville. Saturday morning, Wilbert Suggs, 84, of Bridgeville, was busy putting thick slices of scrapple on a large griddle in the senior center’s food booth.

“We’re very busy today,” Smith said. “Just look at that line,” pointing to a line of people that stretched from the booth about 30 feet into Delaware Avenue. The food, including scrapple sandwiches, crab cake sandwiches and oyster fritters, is what attracts many of the tens of

thousands of people who attended the festival. “I love the oyster sandwiches,” said David Simpson, Wilmington. But there is also the carnival, the part of the festival that Simpson’s 9-year-old daughter, Risa, likes the best. The carnival is sponsored by the Bridgeville Public Li-

Simpson’s wife, Gail, is a native of Bridgeville and a graduate of Woodbridge High School and “she gets to see people she hasn’t seen in a long time,” Simpson said. “We are looking forward to seeing friends we haven’t seen since last year,” said Kathy Kiernan, Seaford. She and her husband, Eric Callaway, were at the festival Friday night and planned to return Saturday. “I just think that this event is great,” said Kiernan. “I guess you could say that I’m a real Eastern Shore girl now,” added the Bucks County, Pa., native. Callaway said that when the Apple Scrapple Festival was first started, he had little confidence in its success. “I thought it was a joke,” he said. “But it has really taken off. Now, it’s a big social occasion where you get to meet old friends.”

Nanticoke Pediatrics office is now open in Seaford By Lynn R. Parks

The new Nanticoke Pediatrics office is bubbling with enthusiasm. Doctors Meredith Arthur, Samyukta Dasika and Patricia Donovan and nurse practitioner Dayana Duguerre are young, happy to be treating children and happy to be working in Seaford. “I think it’s very exciting how the community is so happy to have a new pediatrics group,” said Donovan, 34 and a native of Panama. “A lot of people were having to drive all the way to Dover to see a pediatrician.” Before Nanticoke Pediatrics opened in September, the Seaford and Laurel area had just three pediatricians. Duguerre, who worked with children in Nanticoke Memorial Hospital for a few months before the practice opened, said that she often had trouble getting her young patients matched up with doctors. “We had a hard time finding pediatricians,” she said. “Now, people are glad to see that we are here.” Duguerre, 29, who started out her medical career as a pediatric researcher, studying nephrology and endocrinology, said that she never thought of working with any patients other than children. And the doctors with whom she is working all feel the same way. “I love seeing kids,” said Dasika, 36. “When they are sick then start feeling better, you can see the changes right away.” “I have always worked with kids,”

added Arthur, 31. “It’s always been a natural for me, playing with them or teaching them. A pediatrician’s office is a nice environment to be in. And our patients usually come with their own support network, their parents, that makes it easier to work with them.” Arthur grew up in New Jersey and graduated from Towson University in Towson, Md., in 2000 with a degree in molecular biology and psychology and a minor in chemistry. She studied medicine at the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine, earning a degree in 2004, and completed her residency at Winthrop University Hospital and Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center, both on Long Island. In 2007, she came to Seaford to work with Nemours. Dasika was born in India and earned her medical degree in 1998 from Trichur Medical College in Mulankunnathukavu. She did her pediatric residency in Hyderabad, India, and at the Newark Beth Israel Medical Center in Newark, N.J., finishing in June. Donovan studied medicine at the Universidad Latina of Panama, completing her degree in 2002. Before coming to the United States, she worked as a general practitioner in Panama, as well as at an oncology hospital and in an emergency room. She completed her residency at Metropolitan Hospital Center, New York College of Medicine, in June. Duguerre is a native of Port au Prince, Haiti, and came to the United States with

her parents when she was 12. She attended middle school and high school in Waltham, Mass., then went to Regis College in Weston, Mass., where she studied biochemistry. After working in pediatric research at Massachusetts General Hospital, she went to the MGH Institute of Health Professions, Boston, to get her master’s degree in nursing. Before coming to Seaford, she worked in Brockton, Mass., as a nurse practitioner. All four women agree that their diverse

cultural backgrounds will be a plus for the practice. They also believe that placing importance on patient care will define Nanticoke Pediatrics. “The patient will be our main focus,” said Arthur. “In every case, we will think, ‘What does the child need?’” “We will make every child feel special,” Duguerre said. For your information Nanticoke Pediatrics is accepting patients. For information, call 629-6525.

Operation Warm distributes coats in Sussex County By Lynn R. Parks

State Sen. Joe Booth said that too often, when driving around Sussex County in the wintertime, he sees children who are not wearing coats. “Kids need to keep warm,” he said, “especially with the flu season coming up.” Booth was at the Western Sussex Boys and Girls Club in Seaford last Wednesday to help sort and pack up coats that are destined for children in need throughout Sussex. The coats were provided by Operation Warm, a Chadds Ford, Pa.-based organization that distributes about 100,000 coats every year to children throughout the country. The Sussex Child Health Promotion Coalition was selected by Operation Warm to distribute 2,400 coats to children who otherwise might be one of those cold kids Booth was talking about. The coats will go to schools and to organizations that serve poor families. Iglesia de Dios Maranatha, a church in Concord, is one of the organizations that are helping to distribute the coats. Victoria Mesa, community coordinator at the church, said that about 75 children attend the church’s Sunday school and about half of them will receive coats. “This will be a blessing for them,” she said. “I know that with the current economic situation, a lot of parents are out of work and are struggling.” Also on hand to help sort the coats were

about 20 volunteers from the Interact Club at the Seaford Christian Academy. “We feel that community service and helping out other people is very fulfilling,” said club president Jalisa Jenkins. Before the coat sorting got underway, Vicki Monahan, operations manager at Discover Bank in Greenwood, presented a check for $5,000 to Operation Warm president Kim Fortunato. “I’m feeling warm and fuzzy already,” Julius Mullen, Sussex Child Health Promotion Coalition board

president, joked. Coalition director Peggy Geisler said that the group’s goal is to ensure that children are healthy and able to succeed. As part of that, “we want to ensure that children are not cold, especially kids in need,”

On Saturday, Oct. 3, Troop #249 celebrated as three boys were presented with their Eagle rank in Boy Scouts. Matthew Tull, Preston “Tripp” Godfrey and Michael Mather were honored in an Eagle Scout ceremony at Camp Henson in Sharptown, Md. Family, friends and fellow scouts joined together as the boys were officially presented with their Eagle patch and regalia. Earning the Eagle rank, the highest rank in scouting is a commendable honor. Throughout Boy Scouts, the boys are given many opportunities to serve their community, hold leadership positions in their troop and complete 21 merit badges, 12 of which are required to earn their Eagle. Each boy who wishes to attain an Eagle rank must also complete a service project for the community. When all requirements have been met, an Eagle Scout application is completed and submitted for approval by the Del-Mar-Va Council. Each Eagle candidate is finally presented at an Eagle Scout Board of Review in which they must interview and answer questions regarding their scouting years. Matthew Tull earned his rank of Eagle on June 10. Matthew completed a project at his home church, Centenary United Methodist Church, in which he beautified an outdoor area facing Market Street. The project included painting the railing, preparing the landscaping area and planting the greenery as well as building a bench. The bench includes both the Boy Scout symbol and the United Methodist symbol. On July 22, Preston Godfrey earned his Eagle rank. Preston’s project was to assist the Seaford Community Food Closet with more shelving for the food storage area. After planning the new shelving, Preston had to build, finish and install the shelves at the food closet which is located at St. John’s United Methodist Church. Michael Mather earned his Eagle rank on Aug. 26. Michael completed a project at Abbott’s Mill Nature Center in Milford. Under the direction of Steve Childers, Michael built an information bulletin board and constructed trail markers for the hiking trail and a sign post for the Abbott’s Mill parking lot.

Squash - one of nature’s most versatile vegetables It looks kind of goofy and more like a lethal weapon than a delicious source of iron, riboflavin and vitamins A and C but with butternut squash, looks, as they say, are deceiving. Inside lives a beautiful and sweet bright orange flesh. Choose a butternut squash that’s not too big. Buy one with a longer neck – they have more usable flesh. Make sure that it’s smooth and unmarked. Pare the skin off first and then cut it at the point where the long neck meets the base. Scoop out the seeds in the base, place it flat side down and cut into 1/2-inch slices, then into 1/2-inch dice. Cut a thin slice from the neck to make a flat cutting surface and slice and dice the same as with the base. Your options now are legion – soups, pastas, gratins - the butternut squash’s forte is versatility. This soup recipe with a tex-mex flair comes from Cooks Country.

Southwestern Butternut Squash Soup Serves 4 1 medium butternut squash (about 3 pounds), peeled, seeded, and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks 3 medium shallots, peeled and quartered 1/4 cup vegetable oil Salt and pepper 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth 1 tablespoon honey 1 teaspoon lime juice 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/4 cup heavy cream 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves 1 tablespoon minced chipotle chiles in adobo sauce Sour cream (optional) 1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees. Toss squash, shallots, oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper in large bowl, then arrange in single layer in large roasting pan. Roast, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are golden brown and softened, about 45 minutes. Add 1/2 cup broth to pan and scrape up any browned bits with wooden spoon. Return to oven and cook until liquid has reduced and vegetables are glazed, about 5 minutes. 2. Working in 2 batches, puree squash mixture and remaining broth in blender

The Practical Gourmet until smooth. Transfer pureed squash mixture to large saucepan and stir in honey, lime juice, cumin, and cream. Bring soup to simmer over medium-low heat, adding ¼ cup water at a time as necessary to adjust consistency. Just prior to serving, stir in cilantro and chiles. Serve with dollop of sour cream, if desired. (Soup can be refrigerated in airtight container for 3 days.) Butternut Squash Rounds with Sage Serves 6 This unusual dish is from the famous San Francisco vegetarian restaurant Greens. It’s easy, delicious and pretty to look at. Try to find squashes with very long necks which is more convenient for making the rounds. You can buy garlic oil or make your own: smack the clove with the side of a knife so it breaks open and let it sit in olive oil for 30 minutes. Remove the garlic and use the oil. Refrigerate any leftover oil for 1 to 2 days. 2 butternut squash with long necks 1 tablespoon garlic oil 10 – 15 fresh sage leaves chopped Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut each squash at the base of the neck, reserving the bulbous part with the seeds for another dish. (The squash soup above would be a great contender). Remove the stem and skin of the neck and cut into 3/ 4- inch thick rounds. You should have about 12 slices. 2. Lay the squash slices on a baking sheet. Brush both sides with the garlic oil and sprinkle with the sage and a little salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes, then use a spatula to loosen the rounds, but don’t turn them – they will brown on the bottom all by themselves. Cook for another 5 minutes, until the squash is tender and the color is vibrant. Serve warm.

Cheaper medical care is not always the best medical care By Dr. Anthony Policastro

There are many ways to save money in our current health care system. There are also some situations where spending more money makes sense. A good example is prescription drugs. One of the biggest problems that we face with prescribed drugs is related to compliance. This is the term that is used to describe if a patient is taking the drug exactly as prescribed. There are many things that affect compliance. The main one is related to the number of daily doses of a drug. The more doses a patient has to take, the more likely he/she is to forget a dose. Thus, it is sometimes better to prescribe a more expensive drug that is given fewer times per day. That will increase the patient’s likelihood of taking the drug as prescribed.

Another is related to how complicated the prescription is. There are some drugs that should be taken with meals, others between meals. There are a variety of other complicated regimens. The more complicated the prescription the less likely it is to be followed. Therefore, it might make sense to prescribe a more costly drug that is easier to take. A third is the form of the drug. In pediatrics we frequently use liquids because children cannot take pills. There are some drugs that are applied to the skin, others like insulin need to be injected. Each form of a drug presents its own problems. Sometimes it might make sense to prescribe a more expensive drug in a form that you know the patient is more likely to take. A fourth issue is related to how many pills to take. The easiest way to take medi-

cation is to limit the number of pills that must be taken. For example, my blood pressure medication has two blood pressure lowering drugs in it. If I had to take them separately, it would be more complicated. I might take the wrong drug, take too much of one drug or forget one of the drugs. There are a variety of issues that would lead to a compliance problem. Thus, it might be more expensive to take a single drug. I recently had a good example of this problem. I had a patient on 81 mg a day of a drug. I started the drug in May. The patient was taking three 27 mg tablets. It was a single drug every morning. The prescription was refilled that way in June, July and August. I wrote the September refill. The pharmacy tried to put it through however, the insurer refused it and I had to call them. They explained to me that I needed to change the prescription. They would only

approve it if I gave one 54 mg tablet plus one 27 mg tablet. That would save them approximately $100 per month. While I understand some of their logic, their view was somewhat short sighted. I had a successful treatment program for a child with ADHD. They were now going to change that program. They were assuming that the patient would be just as compliant. They were assuming that there would be no drug errors associated with it. We all know what the word assume means. I assume that the insurer has the patient’s best interest at heart. I guess they assume that the patient’s best interest is the cheapest route for them. Less expensive medical care is a good goal. In many cases cheaper medical care is better medical care. However, cheaper medical care is not always the best medical care.

MORNING STAR • OCTOBER 15 - 21, 2009

SCSEP celebrates National Employ Older Workers The SCSEP (Senior Community Service Employment Program) at First State Community Action Agency recently celebrated National Employ Older Workers Week, with a celebration on Wednesday, Sept. 30, at Chandler Heights Community Center in Seaford. National Employ Older Workers Week, Sept. 20-26, 2009, is a national effort which recognizes the vital role of older workers in the workforce and showcases senior employment programs like SCSEP. “It’s time we celebrated our older workers,” said Roy Hazzard, program manager of the SCSEP administered by First State Community Action Agency. According to the Department of Labor, older workers are the fastest growing sector of the American workforce. Employers who leverage the skills, work ethic and maturity of this talent pool will reap big benefits. SCSEP, a program funded by U.S. Department of Labor and Delaware Department of Health and Social Services, provides employment training and work experience for persons 55 years or older with limited financial resources. In Delaware the program has trained over 5,000 elderly persons since its inception in 1965. In Sussex County, services are administered by First State Community Action Agency. One hundred and twenty-five participants within the past five years have advanced into full/part-time employment

Gas Lines

Prices show slight change

Despite slight increases late last week, the national average price for gasoline continued to hover below the $2.50 mark. The average U.S. retail price for regular gasoline increased slightly to $2.47 Friday. Current prices are $0.93 below year-ago prices, reports the AAA Mid-Atlantic. Crude Oil Prices Crude oil seesawed last week in response to varying market news, but it rebounded later in the week on economic recovery optimism. At the close of trading Friday, crude oil settled at $71.77, up 3% over last week. Lower than expected U.S. unemployment figures, resurgent commodities prices and a weaker U.S. dollar (all economic indicators vital to the direction of oil

SCSEP honored the following at the celebration: SCSEP Oldest Participant Anna Donaway, 83; Outstanding Older Worker and Employer - Marion “Patti” Miller; and Host Agency of Employer The CHEER Center. SCSEP Oldest Participant - Anna Donoway, 83, has been a participant in the senior employment program since 2002. She works at the Salvation Army in Seaford as a receptionist. Outstanding Older Worker and Employer - Marion “Patti” Miller of Georgetown was first enrolled in the Senior Employment Program in 2007. She has now been employed with First State as a Job Developer and Information specialist for more than a year. Host Agency of Employer - The CHEER Center has partnered with First State Community Action Agency as a host agency and employer since the inception of the Senior Employment Program in the late 1970’s. Within the six centers partnered with First State, CHEER has provided training to more than 35 of the senior employment program’s participants. CHEER is an independent, non-profit agency which provides a variety services to promote and maintain the highest quality of life and independence for mature adults age 50 and over.

Organizations that attended the celebration included Laurel State Services Center, Georgetown State Services Center, Edward W Pyle State Service Center, Shipley State Service Center, CHEER Center, Depart-

and gasoline prices) all helped push oil prices higher this week. Oil prices have remained in a $65 to $75 range for ten consecutive weeks, a rare occurrence for a commodity often marked by price volatility. Future Outlook Geopolitical tensions should ease somewhat in the week(s) ahead. Militants in Nigeria, one of Africa’s largest oil exporters, accepted an amnesty agreement that may lend some stability and security to oil operations in that country. In Iran, the world’s fourth largest oil producer, the government has agreed to international inspections of a nuclear facility. Local pricing On Tuesday gas stations from Delmar to Greenwood were selling regular gasoline in a range from $2.279 to $2.359 a gallon.

Their organizations are just three of more than 50 host agencies that employ the program participants.

The incident began after several concerned citizens called the State Police dispatch center in Sussex County, SUSCOM, and advised that a red Chevrolet Venture was traveling on Route 13 northbound in the southbound lanes. Patrol units were dispatched and located the suspect vehicle, still traveling northbound on the wrong side of the road, on Route 13 at CR 485. The initial officer on the scene activated his emergency equipment at which time the suspect vehicle took off. As the Chevy neared the area of Route 13 and Concord Road, a back-up officer deployed “stop-sticks” (a tire deflation device). The van ran over the device and it started to reduce speed. At this same time, John Jenny, 25, of Dagsboro, was operating a Dodge Dakota, southbound on Route 13 and observed the van still traveling northbound, in the southbound lanes, directly toward him. Jenny pulled over to the side of the road to come to a stop and let the van go by when the Chevrolet Venture struck his vehicle. Travieso was trapped in his vehicle until he could be extricated by mechanical means. The occupants in the Dakota, Jenny, a 24-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman, sustained non-life threatening injuries. Investigators determined that Travieso was driving under the influence of alcohol. He was treated at an area medical center for non-life threatening injuries. He was formally charged with the following offenses: possession of a deadly weapon during a commission of a felony, disregarding a police officer’s signal (felony), three counts of second degree vehicular assault (felony), DUI, underage consumption, no license and seven other moving violations. Bail was set at $24,900 secured and Travieso was committed to Sussex Correctional Institute.

Punkin Chunkin supports charities

$60,000 raised in 2008 for scholarships and groups The Punkin Chunkin Association anticipates raising thousands of dollars for local and national charities during the 24th annual world championships scheduled for Friday-Sunday, Nov. 6-8. The competition will be at the Wheatley Farm in Bridgeville. This year’s Chunk is partnered with the Discovery Channel which will be filming two hourlong segments that will air on Thanksgiving Day. The first hour, “The Road to Punkin Chunkin,” will feature prechunk events, teams and information about the Punkin Chunkin Association and what it does. The second hour highlights this year’s competition. Proceeds from last year’s event raised nearly $60,000 for scholarships and charitable organizations. “We’ve adopted St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital again this year, and numerous local charities,” said Punkin Chunkin spokesman Frank Shade. “Last year’s donation to the hospital brings our total to around $75,000 in the last several years.” Another nationally based charity Punkin Chunkin supports is the American Cancer Society. “We also support education,” said Shade. “Last year we gave $20,000 in scholarships to students pursuing advanced degrees in agra-science, mechanical technology, physics, engineering or other science-related fields.” The funds were raised during the November 2008 World Championship Punkin Chunkin competition. “With the economy down, we have decided to downsize the cost of the Friday night concert,” said Shade. “We will be featuring the Funsters on Friday evening, and the concert is free for everyone on the field. Your admission to the event will get you to the concert.” Some of the other organizations the Punkin Chunkin Association supports include a Lions Club, Lower Delaware Autism Foundation, Shriner’s Hospital, Home of the Brave, scouting programs,

children’s sports-related programs, and children’s and family organizations. The gates open at 7:30 a.m. all three days, and competitions begin at 9 a.m. The contests are expected to end by late afternoon, at which time there will be a free-for-all demonstration. Competitors are not limited to hurling pumpkins during the free-for-all; any fruits or vegetables are legal. Final contests begin at 8 a.m., Sunday, Nov. 8, and champions are crowned during an awards ceremony at the end of the day. In addition to the flying pumpkin spectacles, the event includes food booths, craft booths, rides for children, a cooking contest and live entertainment. Saturday’s events will conclude with a fireworks display. Admission is $9 per person and free for children younger than 12; parking is $2. For more information, call the Punkin Chunkin Association office at 443-6241865. The new site is approximately a mile east of the intersection of Route 404 and Route 18.

Seaford, Caesar Rodney varsity field hockey teams play to a 2-2 tie By Lynn Schofer

The Seaford High School varsity field hockey took on visiting Caesar Rodney last Tuesday in Seaford. Despite the fact that CR out shot the Blue Jays, 20-10, and had more chances to score with 21 corners to Seaford’s six, Coach Robin Verdery’s team battled hard and finished the game knotted 2-2. Seaford’s goalie, junior Molly Cain, fought for 16 saves and was a big reason the Blue Jays held a tie game. Teammate Kelsey Hoch also helped in the goal by backing up Cain and scoring two saves of her own in the game. “My girls are playing aggressive and going to the ball. It is everything we have been working on and they played a very good game today,” said Verdery. “I have been head coach for seven years, and this is the first time that we have come anywhere close to beating Caesar Rodney. This is big for me; this is big for the girls.”

In the first half of play, Paige Venables picked up another assist when Courtney Torbert put the ball in the net for Seaford’s first goal. With the score tied, a goal was called back at 12:24 and CR was given a penalty stroke. Caesar Rodney made the goal despite a good argument by Coach Verdery that the opposing team was not lined up behind the 25 yard line. The goal put the Raiders up by one goal. In the second half, Maria DeMott took a pass inside the circle from Courtney Torbert and after a pure muscle on muscle battle with the goalie, DeMott freed the ball enough to push it into the goal for the tie. With 20 minutes to play, Caesar Rodney put a string of offensive attacks together that Molly Cain was able to fight off. The high level of communication between the Blue Jay offense and defense proved to be pivotal. The Blue Continued on page 43

Seaford varsity football team falls to Lake Forest, returns home Friday By Lynn Schofer

The Seaford High School varsity football team remained on the road for the third straight week and for the fifth game of the season last Saturday. The Blue Jays traveled to Lake Forest to take on the Spartans, who went into Saturday’s game with a record of 2-2. On the early minutes of the first quarter it seemed the game would go back and forth and remain close throughout. Lake Forest did not take long to score as the Spartans broke tackle and ran the ball 74 yards for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead. Seaford answered quickly when on fourth down and 11 yards to go, Shaquil Turnage threw a touchdown pass to Corey Purnell. Seaford went for two points but the Spartans held the Blue Jays and the score stood at 7-6. It would be the only points scored by Blue Jays. The Spartans took control with a running game and several key defensive

plays. Seaford suffered four fumbles, the first one in the first quarter at their own 23 yard line and the Spartans took over. Lake Forest quickly ran the ball into the end zone expanding the lead to 13-6. When things go wrong, they really go wrong. On the kick-off return Seaford fumbled the ball and Lake Forest recovered on Seaford’s 19 yard line. As time ran out in the quarter, Lake Forest lost a touchdown run on a holding flag and Seaford’s defense sacked the quarterback to force a punt on fourth down and 21. In the second quarter and on Seaford’s next possession, a well placed pass by Turnage was dropped in the end zone and the next pass would be intercepted by Lake Forest. With 7:20 left in the second quarter Lake Forest pushed through the defensive line from the two-yard line for a touchdown. Things seemed to get worse for the Continued on page 44

Seaford field hockey continued Jays switched positions, filled the lanes, backed up each other, and filled the goal to keep the Raiders from scoring the go ahead goal. The Blue Jays would enter their second 10 minute period of over time in less than a week. Stamina and fitness would be tested of the players. Seaford did struggle in some areas to keep up with play but teammates filled in to pick up for any player that

was struggling. Teamwork paid off; even though the Blue Jays were not able to score a winning goal the game ended in a 2-2 tie. Seaford’s record was 5-2-2 with a game to play at Woodbridge on Thursday. Coach Verdery said, “I think I’m jinxed on the five win mark. For the past six years we haven’t been able to break it open. The wins are important to get us into the state tournament because that is the goal.”

Glen Isom wins Footbrake Nationals at U.S. 13 Dragway By Charlie Brown

When you take away all the electronics it boils down to the driver and that was the case in Sunday’s Footbrake Nationals at the U.S. 13 Dragway. Winning the Footbrake final was Glen Isom of New Castle, driving his 406 cubic inch ’83 Chevy Blazer. In the Combo final it was second generation driver, Jamie Russell of Dover taking the win while Bob Morgan of Frankford, rode to the win in Pro Bike. Other winners on the day included: Bill Davenport of Clayton in Street; Zach Cordrey of Delmar in Import; Tony Coroniti of Dover in Bike Trophy; Herby Sullivan of Ridgely, Md. in Jr. Dragster 1 and Christopher Kahler of Ocean View in Jr. Dragster 2.

Jones broke out trying to makeup time from the starting line with a 9.517/139.57 on a 9.52 dial. Semi-finalist was Jesse Truitt of Parsonsburg. In the Combo Eliminator final it was Russell against Ryan Groton of Salisbury. Groton had the better reaction but Russell had the better run to take the $1,200 win. Russell ran an 8.169.144.50 on an 8.11 dial while Groton ran a 10.119/132.78 on a 10.00 dial. Semi-finalist was Chris Bishop of Parsonsburg.

Senior softball continued Blue Jays with a bad snap on a punt which was over Corey Purnell’s head; he picked up the ball and ran it to the 19 yard line. Lake Forest took over on downs with six minutes to play in the half. Seaford’s defense stepped it up and held Lake Forest by cutting off a pass, sacking the quarterback, and finally forcing a fumble. Lake Forest recovered the ball but it was fourth down. Seaford ended the half with possession of the ball but had suffered three penalties during the last minute of play. Seaford started the second half with

possession of the football. However, a ball thrown into the wind was short and intercepted by Lake Forest. The Blue Jay defense once again prevented the Spartan’s from taking advantage of the turnover with a quarterback sack. On the punt return at the 39 yard line, Seaford’s Corey Purnell fumbled the ball and Lake Forest recovered at Seaford’s 15 yard line. Seaford did not quit fighting and when the Spartans were on the one yard line the Blue Jays recovered a fumble and took possession of the ball.

down for the Blue Jays. A personal foul against Lake Forest marked the ball at the 47 yard line and the end of the quarter. In the fourth quarter, Seaford opened with another interception at the 27 yard line on a pass intended for Jason Owens. Several plays later a face mask penalty took the ball to first and goal on the 4 yard line. With 8:51 to play the Spartans ran the ball into the end zone. After adding two more points, the score was 28-6. Seaford had to punt the ball away on the next possession and Lake Forest continued its running game through the middle. The Blue Jay defense again hit hard, forcing another fumble and a Blue Jay recovery. Seaford will return home on Friday to take on Woodbridge. Seaford’s record goes to 3-2 for the season.

For Seaford, Vincent Glover had five carries for 21 yards; Jeff Akins added 13 carries for 39 yards; Raheem Cannon carried the ball six times for 31 yards; Owens had one catch for seven yards; and Corey Purnell made a pair of catches for 37 yards and a touchdown. Turnage completed three of 12 passes for 44 yards with one touchdown, and three interceptions. Aquaruis White and Deron Wright (six) led Seaford in tackles. George Blanchard added five tackles, Dashawn McIvor had four, and Ronnie Glover, Atkins, Demetrius Johnson, and Owens each had three tackles. Akins and McIvor each had a fumble recovery; McIvor and Myron Hayes were each credited with a forced fumble; and Hayes, McIvor, and Owens added one sack apiece.

Eight Seaford boys’ soccer players score in 9-0 win over Laurel By Lynn Schofer The Seaford High School boys’ soccer team put nine goals into the net as eight different players scored on Tuesday night to beat the Laurel Bulldogs, 9-0. The first goal of the game for Seaford came at 37:11 when Ethan Lee fed the ball to Udiel Perez who fired a strike into the net. For the next 20 minutes Laurel kept the play close by attacking the ball denied Seaford some touches. “Seaford is a very good team. I have a lot of respect for Tim Lee; he is an excellent teacher, person, family man, and coach,” said first year coach Donovan Howard. Laurel looks to rebuild the soccer program by adding coach Howard who brings with him years of soccer experience and knowledge of the game. It wasn’t until the 16:58 minute mark that Chris Trejo put the second goal into the net for the Blue Jays off the second assist by Udiel Perez. The Blue Jays took control of the game in the last minutes of play of the first half when Trejo scored at 3:21 (third assist by Perez) and at 2:00 Charles Michel put the ball in the goal when the goalie Josh Morris deflected a shot by Perez. Coach Lee said he was surprised by Laurel, “Even though the score line does not reflect it, Laurel is a lot better than they have been in the past years,” said Lee. “Laurel has brought in a coach who is organized and disciplined and the kids want to play the game.” In the second half Seaford struggled to keep the ball out of the goal scoring five more times beginning with Phillip DeMott at 42:29 of play. Two minutes later Perez scored a goal, and Aaron Robinson added one at 54:00 mark. Michael Cherrix scored his first goal of the season and as the clock ran out of time Nazaret Garcia scored the final goal of the evening to put the win at 9-0. The Blue Jays will prepare to compete against Polytech this Thursday. Coach Howard believes through hard work and giving 100 percent the team will improve. He will work with the team on building the transition from offense to defense and give it time for Laurel to get some experience. Seaford had 13 shots on goal, nine goals, and nine corners. Laurel goalie Josh Morris had foursaves. Seaford’s record goes to 9-1.

National Park Service holding workshop in Seaford about trail

The National Park Service will hold a series of public workshops in October on the future management of the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail. The Comprehensive Management Plan workshops will present alternatives for managing the trail resources, providing visitor services, and developing partnerships. Park staff and planners will ask the public to comment on their preferred concepts. The National Park Service will seek extensive public involvement to help determine the preferred alternative that will guide the development of the trail for the next 15 to 20 years. Public input from the workshops will help shape the final draft plan, which will be available for public comment in December. A final plan, which will include

responses to the public comments, is expected in spring 2010. A public workshop will be held at Seaford City Hall on Tuesday, Oct. 20 from 6 to 8 p.m. For more information on the trail, the management alternatives, and the upcoming workshop locations and times, visit the website at www.nps.gov/cajo or www. smithtrail.net. The national historic trail, established in 2006, retraces the 1607-1609 voyages of John Smith in the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. Touching upon Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia, the trail’s purpose is three-fold: commemorate Smith’s voyages, share knowledge about the Chesapeake Indian societies and cultures, and interpret the natural history of the Bay.

The effort to preserve an 18th century piece of Sussex County’s history has earned a $5,000 boost from a national historical trust. The National Trust for Historic Preservation this month awarded $5,000 to the Seaford Historical Society, which, in partnership with the Sussex County Land Trust and the Sussex County government, plans to restore the Cannon-Maston House north of Seaford. The 18th century brick farmhouse was built during the earliest colonization of the Chesapeake Bay region and now stands as one of the oldest structures in Sussex County. County Preservation Planner Dan Parsons said the grant will help pay for a historic structure report, which would examine the house and its construction and then be used to determine the best way to restore it. That study will be performed beginning in October by the University of Delaware’s Center for Historic and Architectural Design, with assistance from the County. “This is a great start, but it’s the first step in a long process,” Parsons said. “It’s important that with something of this mag-

nitude and importance that the process is taken slowly to ensure it’s done correctly.” In announcing the grant, National Trust Northeast Regional Office Director Wendy Nicholas said, “With these start-up dollars, Sussex County joins the hundreds of other communities across the country actively ensuring that America’s architectural and cultural heritage is preserved.” Built by Thomas Cannon in 1727, and expanded in 1733, the house and property it stands upon are located in what was, at the time, believed to be part of the Maryland colony. At the time of its construction, it was located in an area that was the eastern-most expanse of the Chesapeake colonization. In 1851, the property was sold to Halsey H. Maston, hence the name Cannon-Maston House. Most recently, it was owned by the Litchford family, and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. Sussex County government and the Land Trust teamed up to purchase the house and property last year. The Seaford Historical Society maintains it, and eventually plans to use it as an interpretive center for learning.

Participants from the 2007 Western Sussex CROP Hunger Walk.

15th annual CROP Hunger Walk set for Nov. 1 The 15th annual Western Sussex CROP Hunger Walk on Sunday, Nov. 1, will raise funds to help stop hunger and poverty here in our community and around the world through self-help initiatives. Over $52,000 has been raised in these walks to date. Twenty-five percent of the funds will go to the food closets of participating communities, including the Seaford Community Food Closet housed at St. John’s United Methodist Church. Around the world, they also teach communities how to grow their own food, dig wells to provide clean drinking water and help build schools so children can reverse the cycle of poverty. This year Western Sussex County and some 2,000 cities and towns nationwide are joining together in interfaith community CROP Hunger Walks around the theme “Rain or shine, we walk because they walk.” CROP (Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty) does so much to help those in need and participation in the walk is a way to help people living in the aftermath of disasters. By walking in the CROP Walk and/or asking friends to financially support this effort, others will know the joy of once again having a warm home and food to eat. According to U.S. and international reports, more than 862 million people in the world go hungry. In the United States, one in 10 households - including 11.7 million children - sometimes do not have enough food for regular meals. Many factors contribute to hunger in the United States and around the world, including a global food crisis fueled by

rising food prices, lower crop yields as a result of climate change, unemployment and poverty. Locally, the need has also increased significantly. Cheryl Coffin, who helps coordinate the operation of the Seaford Community Food Closet, reports that requests for food doubled in 2008, and since the beginning of 2009, requests have tripled. Persons are screened and referred through local social service agencies such as the Shipley State Service Center. According to Coffin, volunteers are seeing cases that have not been as frequent as before when primarily the chronically poor were referred. Now families facing recent unemployment are seeking assistance. Whereas before volunteers would have to shop for items once a month, now there is a need to shop every other week. In order to highlight this need for donations and support, walkers for the Western Sussex County CROP Walk are asked to bring a canned good or food item to carry.

This year the walk will begin at 2 p.m. at West Seaford Elementary and proceed though Seaford to the Pine Street entrance of St. John’s United Methodist Church where walkers will be invited to present the food and pray for the elimination of world hunger. The community also is invited to meet walkers on the walk and donate food items along the way. For more information on how you can support the CROP walk, call the Rev. Constance Hastings at 629-9466, ext. 121, John Blevins at 841-7450 or Eleanor Terrell at 628-1515. In addition, help is needed to receive pledge money at the donation table and be available for clean up. Persons can bring pets to accompany them on the walk as long as they are carried or leashed. Children and youth are required to have adult supervision and signed parental permission on the pledge form in order to participate.

The Friends of the Library are now taking orders for commemorative bricks at the new Seaford Library and Cultural Center. They will be placed on the reading terrace at the Center. The 4-by-8 bricks will sell for $100 each and the profit will go towards the new building. Each brick may have three lines of text with 14 characters in each line. A space or punctuation mark counts as a character. A form for ordering is available at the library circulation desk, or orders may be placed by calling Peggy Boyd at 5361449 or Connie Halter at 628-0554. Among the many advantage to be gained with the new and larger building will be room for each staff member to have an office space. Presently, all staff are huddled into one area, an arrangement that does not provide maximum efficiency. The library on Porter Street will be closed on Thursday, Oct. 22, for the Sussex County Libraries Staff Development Day. All Seaford staff personnel will be at Del Tech for the entire day. At the new building, the friends of the library will be donating the Recognition Display which is to be located in the lobby of the new facility. It will be in memory of the late Faye T. Carey who was president of the group for several years. The Recognition display will list the names of all people who have given any amount of money, large or small, towards the funding of the new library. General information about the new Seaford Library and Cultural Center may be obtained by calling Barbara Allen at 629-2101 or Betty Wilbanks at 629-2466 or Dr. John Painter at 629-2524.

MORNING STAR • OCTOBER 15 - 21, 2009

Seaford mourns loss of Henry Nutter The City of Seaford Mayor, Council and management extend their deepest sympathies to the family of former Councilman Henry E. Nutter, Jr., who passed away on Sept. 28, 2009. Councilman Nutter served our City for 32 years. He was appointed to City Council by former Mayor William A. Slatcher on June 23, 1970. He was appointed to fill the remaining term of former Councilman Robert C. Lofland who had passed. He saw the City grow significantly in area and population during his terms. Henry was supportive of growth, knowing the benefits to the community. As a DuPont employee, he was very much aware of the impact business can have in bringing opportunities to the next generation for employment. He was very concerned with the appearance of his neighborhood and wanted only the best for the entire City. He had the opportunity to discuss numerous citizens’ concerns while operating his personal business, Nutter Disposal. Henry was easy to talk with, because he never rushed a conversation and often mixed humor in to diffuse a difficult situation. His mark on our community will be everlasting. Many of his good deeds were never known by the masses, but Henry always delivered on a promise. He was a man of God and his word. The City of Seaford will miss him a great deal. Even in retirement he was an adviser to many elected officials who sought to serve on Council and in other higher offices. And he loved his emails to stay in contact with our staff, sending along his jokes and comments. The City of Seaford has lost one of its remarkable citizens and we offer our sympathy to his wife, Vera, and family. Seaford Mayor, Council and Staff

Delmar Casino: join in on the discussion

The town of Delmar recently celebrated its 150th anniversary, looking back on its rich history which began with a railroad passing through what is now “A town too big for one state.” Now the Delmar Council is looking toward the future which may include allowing a casino to operate within town limits. Supporters say this will bring jobs and money to the town during a time of economic struggle, while those in opposition believe that the addition of gambling will bring crime and will ruin Delmar’s small town feel. No matter what side you are on, the time to voice your opinion is now. The Council is holding a second public meeting to discuss the proposed casino project after only 50 people showed up for the last meeting. The Council wants to know what the town’s residents and property owners think about the project before moving forward. Some bodies of government move forward with big money projects without taking time to get a true sense of the public’s opinion. Take advantage of this opportunity and make plans to attend the meeting which will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 21, at 7 p.m. at the fire hall. Let the Council know where you stand on this issue.

The Nobel Peace Prize

As an American, I should feel proud that our president has won one of the most prestigious awards that can be conveyed upon an American leader. Three sitting presidents have won the award. Theodore Roosevelt won in 1906 for negotiating the end to the Russo-Japanese War; Woodrow Wilson captured the prize in 1919 for his Fourteen Points, and The League of Nations at the end of World War I; and now Barack Obama has been selected. Jimmy Carter won in 2002, as a former president, for his years of promoting peace in the world. In addition, former vice president Al Gore was a recipient of the Prize in 2007 for his work on environmental causes. The selections of Carter, Gore and now Obama demonstrate how the award has been politicized. At least, Carter served four years as president. Al Gore wrote a book and produced an Oscar-winning documentary prior to his award. The president has accomplished little. Even the leftist Huffington Post concedes that the purpose of the award is to “encourage the change in world relations that Obama has promised.” The committee’s selection was made almost immediately after his election victory. In reality, President Obama won for his campaign rhetoric, “Yes we can.” The political nature of the award is clear. President Ronald Reagan’s efforts led to the fall of the Berlin wall and the Soviet Union. He never won. Much of the commentary the morning after the announcement reflected that Obama is not George W. Bush. President Bush has been vilified after leaving the presidency, and still takes the blame for many of today’s international problems. Maybe after four years, President Obama will have to accept accountability for the impact of his decisions. President Obama may accomplish great things as president, but his record to date does not merit such an award. The decision of the

Nobel Prize committee has relegated a once prestigious prize to the significance of the Dancing with the Stars trophy. Fred D. Seth, Jr. Seaford

Political change

With the next election cycle rapidly approaching us next year, I hope the voters of Delaware and the rest of the United States will change the way they have voted in last 4050 years. I know we haven’t had a clear choice in many cases in the past few years, but have had to vote for the lesser of two evils. Folks, this has to change! Recently, I saw a sign that said “Think before you vote next time.” That pretty much sums up the situation that we’ve gotten ourselves into, doesn’t it? Every time we have an election anymore it is the person who can spend the most money, whose face and name can appear more on billboards, in newspapers or on TV who gets elected. This is absolutely the wrong way to elect anyone. When I vote, I don’t base my decision on a 30 second TV commercial or whose name I recognize, but I spend a little time finding out what they stand for and how that person could help or hurt our state and our country. My worst nightmare occurred October 6 when Mike Castle announced that he would be running for the U.S. Senate seat next year. He is a powerful political figure, worthless, but powerful. I would like to see a conservative run against him, a fellow conservative Republican, but I know it won’t happen because the “good ole boy” system won’t allow that to happen because of the “we’ve got to preserve unity in the party” philosophy. Before any Democrats that read this letter start smirking, your party is guilty of the same thing. We have loyalists in both major parties who would vote for a stray dog before they would vote for someone from another party and that’s the crux of the problem we are in today.

When a person with good ideas does run for office, they don’t stand a chance because of funding, party backing and, oh yes, lest I forget, news media backing. I would like for someone to challenge Mr. Castle for this office because we can’t afford to allow him to continue in his old liberal ways. As I told his people that were staffing the booth at the state fair in my own little way next year I will do whatever it takes to defeat him if he runs for office. I know my impact upon the results of him being defeated are about as much as gnat in a whirlwind, but, there, I’ve said it, so let it be written. Larry Calhoun

Rude, but correct

Dr. Policastro’s recent article on parents as directing examples to their children was a good one. His first example, however, raises an interesting point. Ostensibly, Dr. Policastro was correct: Senator Joe Wilson was rude to interrupt the President. But, is the doctor aware that Senator Wilson, as a member of a committee in the Senate, tried to get an amendment that asserted exactly what the President was saying, but was stymied by the Democrats on the committee? Moreover, Senator Wilson is a lawyer who specializes in cases involving immigrants. These two factors allow the Senator insights and experiences that few of us share; he therefore has a perspective that is broader and deeper than that of most of us. Having been stymied and thwarted officially on committee, the Senator remained with no other choice than to seize the opportunity, rude or disrespectful as it may seem to many. We say bravo!

Final Word

A not-so-funny thing happened while you were at work... It has been my goal as of Jan 20, 2009 to remain quiet about the day-to-day atrocities of the Obama administration. I wanted to save my energy for the larger, more far-reaching atrocities that I knew were sure to come. I made that decision because I didn’t want to be one of those “Bush lied and kids died” people that foam at the mouth when anything bad happens. I didn’t want to arbitrarily respond to things by blaming the President, as the Bush haters did for the past eight years. Bad hair day? Blame Bush. The kids aren’t doing well in school? Blame Bush. Car broke down on the way to work? Well, you get the point. I think the straw that broke the camel’s back was the affair in Detroit with the long lines for stimulus money. Apparently Detroit was awarded $15 million in order to help residents pay rent and other utilities in order to avoid homelessness. Aside from being angry that the stimulus money wasn’t given to working Americans so that the most productive among us could stimulate the economy, I was not too upset by this. At least the $15 million wasn’t given to a completely pointless research project to find out why pig manure smells so badly. However, my opinion changed when I heard an interview conducted on the street the day applications

for funds were being handed out. Ken Rogulski from the Detroit Free Press interviewed those waiting in line for funds. Here are two interviews that are vital to understanding why I’m so upset. Rogulski: Why are you here? Woman #1: To get some money. Rogulski: What kind of money? Woman #1: Obama money. Rogulski: Where’s it coming from? Woman #1: Obama. Rogulski: And where did Obama get it? Woman #1: I don’t know. His stash? I don’t know. (laughter) I don’t know where he got it from, but he’s givin’ it to us, to help us. Woman #2: And we love him. Woman #1: We love him. That’s why we voted for him! Second interview. Rogulski: Did you get an application to fill out yet? Woman: I sure did. And I filled it out, and I am waiting to see what the results are going to be. Rogulski: Will you know today how much money you’re getting? Woman: No, I won’t, but I’m waiting for a phone call. Rogulski: Where’s the money coming from? Woman: I believe it’s coming from the City of Detroit or the state.

Rogulski: Where did they get it from? Woman: Some funds that was forgiven (sic) by Obama. Rogulski: And where did Obama get the funds? Woman: Ummm, I have no idea, to tell you the truth. He’s the president. Neither of these woman had any idea where the money would come from. I don’t know whether to cry or laugh. When I hear this, I have to wonder why I wake up in the morning and head off to a job and commit my time and energy to earn a wage to help support my family. I am taxed a ridiculous amount of money to pay for this type of ignorance and laziness. I’m tired of it. I wish that I could have been there to tell each of these women that this money didn’t come from “Obama’s stash” it comes from my hard work, but I wasn’t there. I was at work.

Bryant, could you slip something in “The Final Word” about my new venture? I know I’ve opened a can of worms for all of those who wanted to tell me off with a letter, but never had the nerve to sign their name; now they can write anything.

Should be interesting. Visit www.frankcalio.com. I hope to write on a weekly basis, or if need be, whenever something comes up that I think needs to be addressed. Your constructive comments are welcomed as are your suggestions for future columns.

1 WEEK ANNIVERSARY October 12, 2009 by Frank Calio

Today marks the first week anniversary of my blog. I have intentionaly left all the articles in because I want your reaction as to which stories interest you so I know who my readers are. We will keep all articles listed until the end of this week, then we will begin deleting stories that have the least response from our readers. I have been very pleased with the first weeks response; we have been averaging between 35 and 50 hits on our site per day, not bad for the new boy on the street. My goal is to keep the news as much local as I can. If you have something you want to put in this blog feel free to write us. Thanks. Frank

TIMES ARE REALLY TOUGH October 8, 2009 by Frank Calio

You think it’s tough trying to make a living. Last Saturday 400 applicants for

magistrate positions took their test in Dover. That’s the good news; the bad news is there are approximately 6 positions that will be open next year.

BASEBALL ATTENDANCE DROPS: DAH October 8, 2009 by Frank Calio

Why should anyone be surprised Major League Baseball’s average attendance dropped 6.7 percent this year. Blame it on the recession if you want but I’m not buying that. Baseball used to be a poor man’s game where for four bucks you could see a World Series game in 1962. Now baseball has become a rich man’s game. Boston’s Fenway Park “Dugout” seats are $325, to sit along the “Baseball VIP” seats to see the L.A. Dodgers you pay $285 and for an average seat in the new Yankee stadium it costs $73!

CASTLE SEEKS SENATE SEAT October 7, 2009 by Frank Calio

Christmas came early for Delaware Republicans and Republicans in the U.S. Senate when Congressman Mike Castle declared for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Vice-President Joe Biden, now held by former Biden aide Ted Kaufman. Castle, age 70, has served in Delaware government since the ’60’s first as a member of the Delaware House, then Senate, Lt. Governor and two terms as governor and was elected to Congress in 1993. The real winners in the senate contests will be TV and radio stations and newspapers from the frenzy spending of the two candidates.

PIT TO REOPEN?

October 6, 2009 by Frank Calio

Frankly Speaking has been told the former Pit restaurant has been sold. I have seen people working around the building

but I have not been able to find out what is going on with the new owners. Laurel may not have the most to offer when it comes to good paying jobs, but we sure do have a lot of places to get food.

DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT - WASTE OR INVESTMENT? October 6, 2009 by Frank Calio

Downtown Dover is the latest to try to revitalize their downtown business district; again. Recently Salisbury, MD merchants became active again in an attempt to bring business into the downtown area. How much money do these once prosperous downtowns need to spend before they get the message people shop at malls and large box stores. During the 40’s and 50’s both Dover and Salisbury had the box stores; Sears, J.C. Penny’s, drug stores, and the famous women’s stores in Salisbury, all before the birth of shopping centers.
