Delaware tops in bass tourney By Lynn R. Parks Millard McCleary has no interest in fishing. A veteran of World War II, he spent two years on a ship in the Pacific and “I had enough of water,” said the Selbyville resident. But on Friday, there he was, standing at the edge of the Nanticoke River at Phillips Landing to watch competitors in The Bass Federation’s MidAtlantic tournament. His son, Mick McCleary, Manchester, Md., was captain of the District of Columbia team, one of seven teams competing in the tournament, and Millard was there to cheer him on. “Mick has been fishing since he was little, just 6 or 7,” McCleary said. “He loves the sport of it.” “And the relaxation,” added Mick’s wife, Elsie, who was also watching the competitors come to shore. “He was in the Baltimore City Fire Department for 31 years and fishing was always relaxing for him.” She agreed with Debra Dodd, Adamstown, Md., whose husband, Mike, was also on the D.C. team. “Mike doesn’t really care if he’s winning, as long as he’s having fun,” Dodd said. It’s a good thing winning wasn’t uppermost in McCleary’s or Dodd’s mind. Because at the end of the threeday tournament, their team was in sixth place, ahead of only the Maryland team. The Delaware team, led by Ocean City, Md., angler Fabian Rodriguez, finished first for the second year in a row, with a total catch of 161 large-mouth bass weighing 254 pounds. In second place on the Delaware team was Larry Taylor Jr., Seaford. Tournament director and Delmar, Del., resident, Ralph Newberry, a member of the Delaware Bass

Federation, was confident near the end of the tournament on Friday that the Delaware team would in the end catch the New Jersey team, which at the end of fishing on Thursday was leading the pack. Using his best fishing metaphors, he said, “We are hoping that they struggle and that we can catch them.” New Jersey finished second with a catch of 238 pounds. Delaware hosts the tournament every seven years, alternating with other teams in The Bass Federation’s Mid-Atlantic Division. Each team sends 12 anglers, who go out onto the
water in pairs. The top two finishers from each team qualify to participate in the national bass fishing tournament, which will be in April. The three-day tournament got under way Wednesday at 7 a.m. Anglers fished until 3 p.m. each day, then brought the five biggest of their catch to shore. If they had five, that is. On McCleary’s second day on the water, he reeled in only one fish. The fish were weighed onshore by representatives of The Bass Federation and FLW Outdoors, a competitive fishContinued on page 4
Long-time policeman back in Laurel By Tony E. Windsor A police officer who started his law enforcement career in Laurel 34 years ago was honored during a promotion ceremony at Laurel Town Hall on Monday evening. Patrolman John Ryall, who came to work with the Laurel Police Department at the age of
19 under former Chief John McGlaughlin, left Laurel and went to work with several other police departments. In October 2006, he came back to work in Laurel. During the Oct. 1 ceremony, Police Chief Jamie Wilson promoted Ryall to the rank of Patrolman First Class. In making the presentation, Wilson joked
that when Ryall came to work with the Laurel Police Department he must have been only 1 year old. “Officer Ryall is one of the greatest law enforcement officers I have ever known,” Wilson said. “When I started with the Laurel Police Department in 1995, Officer Ryall quickly became a Continued on page 4

New hospital administrator has strong financial background Nanticoke Health Services, of which Nanticoke Memorial Hospital, Seaford, is a part, will soon have a new administrator. Mark J. Rappaport has been appointed president and chief executive officer and will assume his new responsibilities at Nanticoke on Oct. 29. He replaces Dan Werner, who left Nanticoke in December 2006 after two and a half years at the helm. At that time, hospital spokesman Tom Brown said that the hospital had had a “difficult financial year.” “We must focus our energy on the financial performance of the organization and the leadership that can help us reach that goal,” chairman of the board Rex Mears added. Rappaport will come to Nanticoke from Lewis County General Hospital in Lowville, N.Y., where he has served as chief executive officer since 2000. Lewis County General is a 214-bed public acute and long-term care facility that includes ambulatory care services and physician practices. According to a press release issued by Nanticoke Health services, while at Lewis County General, Rappaport “managed a
successful financial turnaround and established positive working relationships with area health care organizations, resulting in increased presence of specialty physicians.” In addition, he “re-established the medical staff and community trust in the organization and developed strategies that resulted in staff being re-energized and reengaged,” the press release added. Rappaport received his bachelor of arts degree in pre-law from LaSalle College and a master’s of business administration with a concentration in healthcare administration from Temple University. He is a member of the American College of Healthcare Executives and American Hospital Association. Rappaport and his wife, Marge, a registered nurse, will be relocating to the Seaford area soon. “Mark Rappaport brings to Nanticoke an extensive background in leading successful health systems of diverse sizes and types,” Mears said. “His strengths in leadership, finance, quality, patient advocacy, staff and physician relations, community involvement and strategic planning are an excellent fit for our organization.”

A robber wearing a mask and carrying a gun made off with an undisclosed amount of cash from the Royal Farms on U.S. 13 near Blades, police said. Witnesses said that the suspect fled the store on a bicycle, which was later recovered by police. Police from Troop 5 in Bridgeville were called to the store on Thursday, Sept. 27 at 1:05 a.m. Witnesses told them that at approximately 1 a.m., a male suspect wearing a Halloween mask and armed with a handgun entered the store. The suspect confronted the clerk behind the counter and demanded money from the cash register. The clerk complied and the suspect left the store with the cash. The clerk, who was injured during the robbery, told detectives that the suspect had a white sock covering the gun, which

appeared to be black. The white plastic Halloween mask the suspect was wearing resembled a character from the “Scary Movie” motion picture. Police said that the suspect left the Royal Farms parking lot on a bicycle, headed east across U.S. 13. The bike was recovered by police during a perimeter search for the suspect. The suspect is described as a black male, 20 to 25 years old. He is 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs 160 to 170 pounds and has an average build. The suspect was wearing a black jacket, blue jeans and black bicycle helmet with a white stripe. Anyone with information about this crime may contact Delaware State Police Troop 4 at 856-5850 or Crimestoppers at 800-TIP-3333.

ing organization that co-sponsored the tournament. Then, they were released back into the water. “We always let them go,” said Newberry. In the first two days of the tournament, “we lost only one fish,” he added. Newberry said that large-mouth bass can weigh up to 7 pounds. The 15 largest fish that Rodriguez caught throughout the tournament weighed a total of 29 pounds, 9 ounces, enough to make him tournament champion. On Friday, his catch weighed 13 pounds 10 ounces, more than any other one-day catch during the tourney. Newberry said that the bass fishing throughout the tournament was excellent. Anglers were permitted to go anywhere they could reach by boat without crossing the Chesapeake Bay, but pretty much stayed in the Nanticoke River, Broad Creek and Marshy Hope Creek. The
waters are stocked with large-mouth bass by their states and The Bass Federation. “The Nanticoke is one of the best rivers for bass on the Eastern Shore,” Newberry said. In addition to running tournaments and stocking waterways with fish, The Bass Federation is a conservation group, Newberry said, promoting laws that protect fisheries and recreational boating and fishing. It also has several youth programs, introducing children and teens to fishing and to conservation issues. “They are all really big conservationists,” said Elsie McCleary. “They do a lot of charity work with children, teaching them how to fish.” In addition, the D.C. team has been involved in the ongoing cleanup of the Anacostia River, which flows through Washington, D.C. into the Potomac. “This is all about conservation,” said Newberry. “The fishermen do this because they love it.”

Business Entrepreneur Magazine recognizes exporting company Port to Port International Corp. ranks as one of the hot 500 fastest growing businesses in America by Entrepreneur Magazine By Frank B. Calio A Delaware company with Sussex County ties has received top honors by Entrepreneur Magazine. Out of 19 million eligible companies Port to Port International Corp., based in New Castle, shippers of used autos to Central America, was selected for the prestigious list of Top 500 of the fastest growing companies in the U.S. Anabel Panayotti, president, and Gwen North, vice president, founders of the business, said they are delighted and honored to be included as number 272 on the list. Only 12 percent of the businesses on the list are owned by women. Panayotti lived in Laurel for six years and North grew up in Laurel, graduated from Laurel High, and operated several businesses. Only 95,000 businesses or 0.5 percent of the 19 million in businesses met the following criteria as established by Corporate Research Board and Entrepreneur: • A company founded between 1998 and 2002; • Positive job growth, sales between $100,000 and $1 billion from 2002-2006, • Must have a minimum level of sales growth or a sales growth qualifier of one or higher between 2002 and 2006. From the Port of Wilmington, Port to Port ships between 500 and 1,000 used cars weekly to the Central American countries of Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua. Founded in 1998, today it is considered the largest shipper of preowned vehicles in the country. In 2006 Port to Port established the World Trade Development division to pursue new markets and new commodities for shipment around the world while it continues to grow its business to Central and South America.
The company grew from a small shack near the Port of Wilmington. Panayotti, a former employee of Dole Fresh Fruit and native of Honduras, started with a vision of delivering a superior service and making Wilmington the hub for the shipment of used cars to the banana plantation countries Dole and Chiquita ships sail to weekly. She was joined by native Delawarean, Gwen North, who was responsible for establishing the infrastructure and growing the company. Today the company occupies 24 acres outside the Port with over 40 local employees, offices in Costa Rica, Honduras, and Guatemala, and annual sales of $16.8 million. “The success of our company has been in finding a niche market and focusing on developing it with the highest quality service we can deliver,” Panayotti said. “We’re persistent. We don’t give up. It’s been challenging as women doing business in a man’s world, but we dropped ‘can’t’ from our vocabulary long ago.” Origin and growth Ever wonder what happened to that vehicle you traded because the wheels were ready to fall off? Would you be surprised to know someone in Central America could be driving your vehicle or parts from your former vehicle? And what if I told you there was a good chance your old vehicle was shipped from the Port of Wilmington from a business started by a former Laurel resident and further developed by a Laurel native; and both of them are females? Meet Anabel Panayotti who lived in Laurel from ‘85-91, and Gwen North, raised, graduated and had businesses in Laurel; together they have become the largest shipper of used cars on vessels to Honduras, Guatemala, Costa Rica, El Salvador and Nicaragua in the U.S.A. Today business partners, President Panayotti and Vice-President North ship between 500-1,000 cars weekly to Central American countries on containers that come into this country loaded with bananas from Chiquita and Dole.

MORNING STAR • OCTOBER 4 - 10, 2007
Meet Your Fire Service Volunteers Delmar mother and daughter lead ladies auxiliary The Seaford and Laurel Star newspapers continue their series of articles highlighting the men and women who serve as volunteers in the local fire departments. These volunteers work tirelessly providing protection and responding in time of need. We hope the series helps to show our respect for their efforts as we increase community awareness of their sacrifices.
By Donna Dukes-Huston Off and on for sixteen years, Joyce Figgs has been president of the Delmar Volunteer Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary. Now her daughter, Kim, is halfway through her term as the current president. Although Joyce’s husband, Lacey, became a member of the fire department in 1961, Joyce actually joined the auxiliary two years earlier at the urging of her sister. “I’d been going with my older sister and helping at the chicken and dumpling dinners since I was nine or ten,” Joyce said. Many local teenage girls used to
assist at this annual dinner that was open to the public, Joyce said. Joyce’s daughter began to follow in her mother’s footsteps at an early age, also helping with dinners. “I think she spent most of her birthdays at the fire house,” her father added. “It seemed like the chicken and dumpling dinner was always scheduled around my birthday,” Kim said. “But that was o.k. I had a lot of fun up there.” These dinners have been one of the major fundraisers for the ladies auxiliary over the years. In fact, when the fire hall moved to its current location in 1974, they used to serve four to five dinners per week, Joyce said. The chicken and dumpling dinners have more recently become beef and dumpling dinners, which serve between 500 and 600 people. They are held twice a year and diners may eat in the fire hall or reserve take-out meals. The Delmar ladies are also famous for their homemade soup and chicken salad sales, which they hold twice a year. In addition, they hold a monthly fundraising event. Past fundraisers
include Bingo and a craft show. They also assist the department members with their annual Casino Night. Joyce has been extremely active with the auxiliary in many other ways since she joined 48 years ago. She has held every office except chaplain and was also the president of the Delaware Volunteer Fire Department Ladies’ Auxiliary from 2004-2005. Kim joined the auxiliary in 1997 and served as treasurer before becoming president last year. Some of her duties now include overseeing and appointing committees and serving as first responder when the ladies are asked to help in an emergency. She also attends her local auxiliary’s monthly meetings for nine months out of the year and attends county and state meetings as well, serving as a delegate from Delmar. Since the Delmar Fire Department serves both Sussex and Wicomico counties, the auxiliary president must attend auxiliary meetings in both counties, Kim said. Mother and daughter are alike not only in their dedication to the auxiliary and the department, but also in the professions they chose.
Mother and daughter duo, Joyce Figgs and Kim Figgs, play an integral role in the Delmar Volunteer Fire Department’s Ladies Auxiliary.
Both work in accounts payable, Joyce for Manlove Auto Parts and Kim for Hanna, Kramer and Tilghman Insurance. Both Joyce and Kim wanted to be a part of an organization that really helped the community and anyone in need. “It’s been a lot of hard work,

but very rewarding,” Joyce said. “In 48 years I’ve met a lot of nice people.” Correction from previous article Billy White is the president, not the chief, of the Sharptown Fire Dept. Darryl English is the Sharptown fire chief.

From humble beginnings, to top honors in Entrepreneur Magazine Continued from page six
After working as Commercial Cargo Coordinator for Dole Fresh Fruit at the Port of Wilmington for seven years, Panayotti invested $1,500 in 1998 on a hunch she could improve the way used vehicles were being shipped overseas. Her hunch has paid off launching a $16 million a year success story which recently earned their business Port to Port International Corp a ranking as one of the prestigious Top 500 Fastest Growing Businesses in the U.S. by Entrepreneur Magazine ; they ranked #272 in a field of 500. In 2003 their business earned $6 million. Their gross has nearly tripled in three years. What sweetened the award was out of 19 million companies considered there were only 12% of the 500 selected companies owned by women. In 1998 Panayotti set up shop in a small shack by the railroad tracks in a truck yard close to the Port of Wilmington. Adding a feminine touch and drawing on her experiences in helping restore a Laurel Bed & Breakfast with North, she had dry wall installed, berber carpeting, and antiques purchased from Joe O’Neal auctions. It was jokingly referred to as the Taj Mahal among port workers. Port to Port captured a niche market and the demand for shipping services for car dealers to Central America grew immediately through word of mouth. One day North received a call from Panayotti saying “I’m so busy up here, do you think you could come and help me?” North who knew members of the Panayotti family in Miami met Anabel in the mid 1980s while North was working there. The meeting led to a professional business relationship that would change the lives for both as they never visualized. Panayotti, a native of Honduras who comes from a family of entrepreneurs, wanted to complete her MBA in this country. North, an entrepreneur herself, was planning to open a Bed and Breakfast in Laurel at that time. She offered free room and board to her new friend in exchange for some help with the B&B while Panayotti sought her degree at nearby Salisbury State University. A deal was struck and a strong friendship emerged. So as friends would do when a friend asks for help, one year later North who in addition to running her B&B, sold real estate, operated an antique store, and ran Biking Inn to Inn Delaware, gave it all up and moved to New Castle. North became a partner and immediately began creating the infrastructure for the business, hiring personnel, advertising/ marketing, setting up offices, ac-
quiring and managing real estate while Panayotti ran the daily operations, number crunching, managing finances, customer service and with her ability to communicate with clients in their native language they have made a dream team. The staff of about 40 is mostly bi-lingual. From their humble beginning, they moved to two acres which they thought would hold their inventory of cars and pick ups for a few years. They would be proven wrong; as the business grew they kept acquiring adjacent land. Today Port to Port sits on 24 acres with a running inventory of 2,5003,500 cars. They service clients from as far south as the Carolinas, as far north as Canada, and as far west as Chicago. So successful is their business they have outgrown shipping the number of vehicles in the Chiquita and Dole containers that they are now leasing their own fleet of vessels in addition. Panayotti says customer service is the number one priority with her company. “Excellent service gets around the country quickly,” she says, something echoed by her business partner. The company also has offices in Costa Rica, Honduras and Guatemala. They are licensed to ship any commodity from any port in the U.S. by the Federal Maritime Commission. Used vehicles and car parts are in great demand in Central America; Mexico is the only carmanufacturing nation in Central America with a high dollar exchange for the purchase of new vehicles. Under these circumstances shippers prefer to import used vehicles and car parts, primarily from the U.S. and fix the cars with local inexpensive labor. The results are affordable cars for the local markets where people are struggling to make ends meet as well as increased exports of American used vehicles. Port to Port prepares cars for shipments to Central American car dealers and private individuals. North said it is mandatory for all vehicles received to have a clear title. Before they can be shipped, Port to Port prepares the shipping documentation, books container space, does car inspections to determine the condition of the vehicles, completes drainage of the gasoline, disconnects the batteries according to U.S. Coast Guard regulations and loads the vehicles into containers. The operation is 24/7 closing only for the normal holidays, “Although” notes North, “We have security 365 days a year, so anyone can drop off a vehicle.” Knowing that someday the market will become saturated, Panayotti and North are looking for new frontiers to develop. In 2006 they opened a World Trade
Division for this purpose. Last year Panayotti and North joined the Delaware delegation to Cuba hoping to expand the Delaware market. North said, “Like most Americans I thought that Cuba was closed to us, but found that agricultural products and humanitarian cargo can be shipped.” In an article published in 2003, John Pastor, Manager of International Business for the Delaware Economic Develop-
ment Office said, “We want to make sure (Panayotti’s business) stays in Delaware and grows, because her growth has a positive effect on our port.” Both Panayotti and North feel the Port of Wilmington will remain strong and look forward to bringing new business to the port. Both partners say they’ve had to stay on their toes; “The rules can change quickly under foreign leaders,” North commented, but
both agreed the key to their success has been excellent service, attention to detail, a strong team of competent employees who’ve dropped can’t from their vocabulary.” So the next time you think your vehicle died and went to the grave yard to be smashed and sold as junk; think again. Your vehicle may have a second life in another country, something not guaranteed for humans.

MORNING STAR • OCTOBER 4 - 10, 2007
Construction finally begins in Galestown after flood By Ann Wilmer Last Thursday, Galestown resident Joanne Cooke hiked over to the Mayor’s house to announce, “they’re here; they’re here!” Like Paul Revere, she spread the word to her neighbors that work was beginning on relocating the utility lines that serve the community. One year and three months since a flood destroyed the roadway, dam, and millpond in Galestown, Md., residents, frustrated by repeated project delays construction, rejoiced that something was actually happening. “We were thrilled to first hear and then see that convoy of trucks and heavy equipment, rolling into Galestown. After 15 months of hearing that work would begin soon, we were delighted to see the JR Smith crew starting now!” said Cooke. “We have seen trucks occasionally stopping by and people pulling out plans and looking at them, but, until now, we have not heard the sweet sounds of construction equipment,” says Galestown Millpond Association President Linda R. Walls. Over one year ago, on June 25, 2006, Galestown and surroundings areas received up to 15 inches of rain in a very short period of time leading to wiped out
roadways, bridges and dams from Hurlock, Md. to Georgetown. President George W. Bush quickly declared the region a Federal Disaster Area, opening the door for federal aid of up to 75 percent of renovation costs. Residents of Galestown have been waiting ever since. “Our community has been the most vocal about the lack of progress,” said Walls. She noted that nearby communities were similarly inconvenienced. She said it was especially taxing for safety personnel who must take time-consuming detours and for the farmers who are economically impacted by the loss of direct routes. “Minor damage has been taken care of, but none of the major projects have been completed,” she said. “In nearby Delaware, most repair projects were completed within six months of the flood.” The Galestown Millpond Association was formed in response to the flood with a mission to restore and preserve the 28acre millpond after loss of the roadway has literally divided the town in two. Comprised of 48 households and two local civic groups, the association has worked diligently for the past 15 months, to effect restoration of the millpond within a year of the flood. Increasingly frustrated members moni-
tored progress, provided suggestions, and met with county and state officials. The group reports being told at least six times by the county that the construction would begin, only to have it delayed. The association sent a letter to the Dorchester County Council in advance of the Sept. 25 meeting expressing disappointment with repeated delays and emphasizing the importance of starting construction now to avoid winter delays. In the letter, they thanked the Council for their plans to hire a project manager and asked that they get someone qualified on board immediately. Walls said, “the logical sequence of activities associated with construction of this nature does not seem to have been followed. Every day it is delayed increases the chance that harsh weather in the winter will delay the progress even further. We are now realistically looking at a two-year flood anniversary when this job will be completed.” Dorchester County Public Works Director Bob Tenanty, sent an Aug. 28 email to Walls, saying construction would begin within a week. Three days later, she received another e-mail from Mr. Tenanty saying the construction would be delayed by weeks, not months. In this e-mail, Mr. Tenanty blamed the
utility companies for the delay saying they would not agree to temporarily relocate the lines in advance of construction. “It seems to me that even a lay person could walk the damaged causeway during the past year, see utility lines hanging everywhere on the ground, and know that this situation would need to be addressed well in advance of construction,” Walls stated. The Seaford Star learned utility companies had not received the plans for the project from the county until July and then the county expected them to quickly act in advance of the mid-August construction start. Nevertheless, Verizon, the lead utility company, said that they would make every effort to expedite the process to better serve the Galestown community. On Thursday afternoon, Joanne Cooke and her husband made a site visit to assess the progress. She said they were interested to see the oyster shells and river rocks workmen were digging up, from 26 feet below the old dam bed. I suspect, from their reactions, that the workmen may be unaccustomed to being welcomed with cheers and applause, but when they drove their trucks out of town after a good day’s work here, they were smiling and waving back at us, said Cooke. 210 W.

MORNING STAR • OCTOBER 4 - 10, 2007
Police Traffic stop results in several charges David Elmidort, 19 of Meyer Lane, Seaford, was charged with numerous weapons and drug offenses after he was stopped for traveling at a high rate of speed on US 13A. Police said that Elmidort, driving a 1994 Toyota Camry north on alternate U.S. 13 north of Sussex 493, was clocked at 92 miles per hour in a 50 mph zone. Because Elmidort’s license was suspended, the trooper called for a tow truck to move the vehicle from the roadway. According to police, a search of the car revealed a small bag in between the driver’s seat and center console that contained several .25 caliber rounds of ammunition and a full magazine. A search of the trunk revealed a .25 caliber handgun, trace amounts of marijuana, several clear plastic baggies, a scale and a brown prescription bottle, which contained three pills for which Elmidort did not have a prescription, police added. Elmidort was charged with possession of a firearm during commission of a felony, carrying a concealed deadly weapon, possession of a deadly weapon by person prohibited, possession of a controlled substance, two counts of possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana, speeding and driving with a suspended license. He was committed to the Sussex Correctional Institute in lieu of $16, 250 cash only bond.
Seaford man charged with assault
Charles Trumbull, 20, Seaford, was charged with stabbing a 21-year-old Seaford resident after police were called to the scene of a fight Sept. 30. The Seaford Police Department received an anonymous call at approximately 1:43 a.m. in reference to a fight in the area of 717 Washington Ave., Seaford. When officers arrived, they learned that the victim had been stabbed and had been taken to Nanticoke Memorial Hospital by someone at the scene. The victim was admitted to the hospital in stable condition. Police said that Trumbull and the victim had become involved in an argument, during which time the defendant produced a knife and allegedly stabbed the victim in the lower abdomen. Trumbull was charged with first degree assault, possession of a deadly weapon during the commission of a felony and underage consumption of alcohol.
Police arrest man on drug charges
Paul Despinasse, 21, Blades was arrested by Seaford Police Sept. 30 after they tried to detain him in the area of Third and North streets and he allegedly fled.

Despinasse was arraigned at the Justice of the Peace Court #3 in Georgetown and charged with resisting arrest, possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, delivery of a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a school, possession of a controlled substance within 1,000 feet
of a school, possession of a counterfeit controlled substance within 300 feet of a park or church, possession of drug paraphernalia, assault third degree, disorderly conduct and criminal mischief.

Bowman, 33, of the 1100 block of Deep Grass Ln., Greenwood. All three men were charged with being a fugitive from another state and were arraigned at the Justice of the Peace Court Two.

The three men were turned over to authorities after signing copies of their extradition waivers.
Teens charged with firing air gun
Delaware State Police charged two teenagers with aggravated menacing, possession of a weapon in a safe school zone and other charges after they allegedly shot at students with an air gun in the parking lot of Sussex Central High School. On Friday, Sept. 28, at approximately 3 p.m. troopers were dispatched to the student parking lot of Sussex Central High School to investigate a report of two students shooting an air-powered weapon from a vehicle. Police said that the two students allegedly used an air compression weapon that discharges plastic projectiles to shoot at students as they were getting into their cars to leave school for the day. During the incident, a 17-year-old female student from Georgetown was struck several times in her legs. The student sustained puncture marks on her legs and was examined by the school nurse.

Milford church defaced
Delaware State Police are investigating a suspected hate crime at a church in Milford. The incident occurred between the hours of 8:45 p.m. Monday, Sept. 24, and 9 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 25, at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses church just west of Milford city limits. Police said that vandals used red and black spray paint to paint the exterior walls and sidewalk of the church with anti-religious epithets targeting the members of the church. Cost of the damage to the church was $800. State Police are also investigating a report of criminal mischief that occurred near the church at a home in the 100 block of Bowman Rd., Milford. Police said that vandals spray painted the windows of the residence with red and black graffiti, causing approximately $200 in damage. Investigators believe the crimes may have been committed by the same suspect or suspects. Anyone with information about these incidents may call Troop 3 at 302-697-4456 or Crimestoppers at 800TIP-3333.
Couple charged with sexual assault
On Sept. 26, Delaware State Police detectives arrested a Magnolia man and his girlfriend for allegedly assaulting a 7-yearold female family member. The alleged crimes occurred in July at the couple’s former residence in Meadow Brook Acres, Woodside. The child was initially interviewed on Sept. 24 after the child’s aunt took her to a doctor. The child had been complaining of pain in her abdominal area. Police said that the couple allowed the girl to watch them engaging in numerous sex acts. Both suspects allegedly sexually assaulted the girl on two separate occasions, police added. Howard Woodlin, 41 of Magnolia was charged with one count of first degree rape, one count of committing a dangerous crime against a child, three counts of endangering the welfare of a child, one count of unlawful sexual contact, one count of incest, and two counts of first degree indecent exposure. He was committed to the Delaware Correctional Center on $90,500 secured bond. Woodlin’s girlfriend, Tammy Campbell, 29, of Dover was charged with two counts of second degree rape, one count of committing a dangerous crime against a child, four counts of endangering the welfare of a child, two counts of first degree unlawful sexual contact and incest. She was committed to WCI on $98,000 secured bond. Both were ordered to have no contact with any children under the age of 18.
Tear gas canisters found in surf
State park rangers at Delaware State Seashore Park found tear gas canisters floating in the surf Sept. 24 on the south side of the Indian River Inlet.
The public is asked to call 911 if they spot any canisters and to provide the location where the canister was observed. The canisters should not be touched. The canisters, which look like small fire extinguishers, are olive green, approximately 12 to 14 inches in size, with a label marked, "CN/X5 Crowd Disperser Pressurized Tear Gas Manufactured by Penguin Associates, Inc., Malvern, Pennsylvania, USA." Also found several miles south at Breakwater Beach were pepper fog canisters. These canisters are white, slightly smaller than the tear gas canisters, approximately 8 to 11 inches with a white label and black lettering. The public is again advised not to touch the canisters, to call 911 if any of the pepper fog canisters are seen and to provide the location.
Trooper involved in crash A state trooper ran into the back of a car Sept. 26 when it stopped on Delaware 54 near Bluewater Run West, in the area of Keenwick Sound. One passenger in the car that was hit received minor injuries. Police said that a westbound 2003 Subaru Forester operated by Henry Meredith, 67, of Cockeysville, Md., slowed down and was stopped, waiting in traffic. The trooper, traveling west behind the Subaru, applied his breaks and veered to the right in an attempt to avoid the Subaru. Police said that the trooper was unable to avoid the collision and the Ford’s left front struck the right rear of the Subaru. After the collision, both vehicles pulled to the shoulder of Delaware 54. The trooper is assigned at Troop Four in Georgetown and is an eight-year veteran of the force. The trooper was on duty and was not responding to a call for service at the time of the crash. The trooper was wearing his seatbelt and was not injured. Meredith was wearing a seatbelt and was not injured. His wife, Catherine Meredith, 64, also of Cockeysville, was a passenger in his vehicle and was wearing a seatbelt. She suffered a minor laceration to her left elbow and refused medical treatment at the scene. Alcohol was not a factor in the crash. The investigation is ongoing.
Reward offered for eagle theft The Division of Fish and Wildlife is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of a memorial statue, which stood on a stone base at Mulberry Landing on the Assawoman Wildlife Area near Fenwick Island.

Wildlife staff discovered the statue was missing the morning of Sept. 26. The Division of Fish and Wildlife Enforcement is investigating the theft. Anyone with information may contact Sgt. Gregory Rhodes, Fish and Wildlife Enforcement, 302-542-6102 or 302-7399913.

Caught in the Headlights: Simple Tips to Help Avoid Deer Collisions (MS) - With the deer population increasing across the country, and living space for wildlife on the decline, the number of incidents involving a deer jumping into the path of a car has been steadily on the rise. This is especially true from October through December when male deer activity dramatically increases, resulting in a significant rise in the number of vehicular collisions. A deer can literally come out of nowhere, leaving only seconds to react. Even worse, the collision can result in significant property damage and even life-threatening situations. To stay safe, consider the following: • Watch the clock. Deer are most active from sunset to midnight, and during the hours just before and after sunrise, which are feeding times.
• Watch your speed. It’s not just the speed of the animal that plays a factor - it’s the speed of the vehicle. Think about it: if you are driving your vehicle ata speed of over 60 miles per hour, you’ll cover the length of a football field in the same time it takes to change a CD. • Keep your eyes open . Deer don’t run alone. If you see one, there are likely others nearby. • Don’t swerve. If a deer is suddenly in front of you, sound your horn to frighten it away. Break firmly, but stay in your lane. Serious crashes happen when drivers swerve to avoid a deer, only to hit other vehicles or lose control of their cars. • Wear your seatbelt. Most people injured in deer/car crashes were unbuckled at the time.

Man’s request to temporarily live in travel trailer denied By Tony E. Windsor A Laurel man waited two weeks to find out whether town officials were willing to make an exception to municipal codes and allow him and his son to temporarily live in a travel trailer while he builds a permanent home. During the Monday, Oct. 1, Laurel Town Council meeting, a disappointed Herman Smith and his 15-year-old son were told “no.” The issue started when Laurel Code Enforcement Officer Paul Frick informed Smith that he had to remove his 35-foot travel trailer from his property at 716 West 7th St. Smith was hoping to live in the trailer for about six months while he built a home on the property, which he had recently cleared. Smith made his plea before the council during its Monday, Sept. 17, public meeting. Smith explained that he had recently acquired the property. “I believe I can build this home in three months, but I need to make arrangements for financing and I also have to address some variance issues with the Town,” he said. “I also need some time to clear a couple of large trees off the property.” Smith said he was aware that the town does not permit mobile homes in the corporate limits, but said that his was a unique situation and one of urgency. “My son attends Laurel High School and it is important that when I go to work in the morning he is in town and able to get to school,” he said. “I have no relatives or friends I can live with while I am building this home. If I cannot be

permitted to stay on the property it will create a hardship on me.” During the most recent council meeting, Frick reiterated his position as code enforcement officer. He said that because travel trailers are not allowed to be kept on private property in residential neighborhoods, he had no choice but to order Smith to remove the trailer unless the council made an exception. He added that the town’s attorney, James Waehler, told him that he had “great concerns” about allowing Smith’s request because the town’s code clearly prohibits trailers in town limits and to make an exception would be setting dangerous precedent. Public works supervisor Woody Vickers said he had visited the Smith property and found that there was existing water and sewer capable of servicing a home at the location. Smith spoke one last time in an effort to sway the council to his way of thinking and to allow him temporary residence in his travel trailer. “I have never disputed that trailers are prohibited in town limits,” he said. “But, you created this rule and the reasoning behind it is a matter of aesthetics and to preserve the design of the community; it is not a safety issue. I am trying to do exactly what the town desires by building a home on a property where I just tore down an eyesore. I am willing to pay my way and enable the town to generate some revenue from water and sewer. I believe that the only issue of substance that prohibits me from getting a temporary opportunity to keep the trailer on the property is the fear of setting
$
a precedent. I simply cannot see the probability of an influx of people coming to Laurel seeking to purchase properties to set up travel trailers. People are buying properties to build homes, not put up travel trailers.” Mayor John Shwed complimented Smith on his presentation before informing him that he could not find reason to support his request. “I applaud you for your presentation; it was professionally done,” he said.”I have thought about this long and hard over the past two weeks and have had to weigh my compassion for your situation against the bigger responsibility I have to preserve the standards of our community. I believe our attorney’s comments were well-founded and though we desire to have compassion at this table, we must make decisions based on the welfare of the entire community.” Councilwoman Robin Fisher suggested that, should the council’s vote not support his request, Smith look into emergency transitional housing such as that offered by the Laurel Community Foundation’s Hope House. Shwed agreed and recommended Smith contact the Laurel State Service Center and inquire about unit availability. Smith said while he appreciated the suggestion for emergency transitional housing, it left him feeling uncomfortable. “This was only to be a temporary situation and now instead of paying my way, I feel like I am receiving a welfare-type of situation,” he said. “I am uncomfortable with that. I like to carry my own weight. I respect your comments, but I cannot see why it would be
such a negative to assist someone in making their way.” Councilman William Trujillo said he had been absent from the last council meeting during Smith’s presentation. However, he had read all the documents regarding the issue, including Smith’s letter of request for temporary residency in a travel trailer. “I have to side with the mayor,” he said. “We as a council must be careful of how we vote on behalf of the community. I understand and appreciate your desire to stand on your own feet, but this is what transitional housing is for and it is a positive thing.” Councilman Don Phillips said that Smith had “done a great favor for the town” by demolishing a building that was on the town’s list of 50 worst properties. Phillips said he wants Smith to know that the town will support him anyway it can during his building process because of that favor. However, allowing Smith to live in a travel trailer against established codes would be “opening a can of worms,” he added. He said that he was aware that since the last council meeting, after an article on Smith’s plight appeared in the newspaper, two additional requests have come to Frick seeking exceptions to live in mobile homes. Fisher said she applauds Smith’s integrity and wants the town to be a support for him and his son and not to create a situation where they are homeless. Councilman Randy Lee weighed in on the issue and said he saw the issue differently than some of his colleagues.
“A little controversy never hurt anyone” he said in opening his remarks. “I am in favor of putting the travel trailer on the property because I believe it can be fixed up and look fine, and it would be helping someone. I could make a provision, I may be the only one who feels that way, but I think you could get that trailer on the property in a way that it would fit right in. I believe this man needs a place to stay while he is building.” Lee suggested that the matter be tabled until it was determined whether Smith and his son could get transitional housing while he is building his home. Shwed disagreed and recommended that the matter not be tabled because he could not see any significant change in the outcome by waiting on a vote. Councilwoman Fisher motioned that the issue be tabled and the council voted against the measure with Fisher and Lee casting the only supporting votes. Trujillo then motioned that the request by Smith to live in his travel trailer while building a permanent home be denied. The measure was approved with Fisher and Lee casting votes in opposition. Shwed told Smith to contact the Laurel State Service Center to find out the availability of transitional housing. He also said that Smith could let them know that he was referred by the town council and that the members of the council support his request.

Following Pink Grass, Cathy Gorman will perform. At 7 p.m., local favorite the Funsters will take to the stage, playing hits from the 1960s and 1970s. The activities will start at 7 Saturday morning when the all-you-can-eat breakfast, served by the United Methodist Men of Union United Methodist Church, starts. The breakfast will go until 11 a.m. At 9 a.m., the annual 5K Hogg Jogg will get under way. For the first time, the run will be held at the Woodbridge School District Athletic Complex on Adams Road. For information about the run, call coordinator Rob Perciful, 337-3176. Also at 9 a.m., most of the festival attractions, including the food court and the carnival, will open. A trade show will be set up along Delaware Avenue and Laws Street, featuring information about area businesses. Also on Delaware Avenue will be the festival’s car show, sponsored by the Southern Delaware Street Rod Association. Typically, about 300 vehicles participate in the show. The health and safety fair will be set up in the Bridgeville Fire Hall. Festival chairwoman Bonny Workman said that this year’s fair will be bigger

than ever before. The festival’s first motorcycle show, the Pig Out, will start at 10 a.m. at Cannon Cold Storage, at the intersection of West Market Street and U.S. 404. Sponsor is Harley-Davidson of Seaford. All proceeds from the bike show will benefit the Woodbridge School District. The profits will be divided between the district’s endowed scholarship fund and its school uniform assistance program. The Apple-Scrapple Festival will
feature three craft shows. Booths will be set up along Railroad Avenue and Walnut Street in the festival’s outdoor craft show. St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, William Street, will hold its annual craft show. And Trinity United Methodist Church west of Bridgeville will hold its craft show at Woodbridge High School. An old-fashioned tractor pull will be held in an empty field on Wesley Church Road, just west of town, starting at 11 a.m. Registration starts at 9 a.m. Chairman Jeff Mitchell expects
the pull to attract about 60 tractors and for the event to feature about 100 pulls. Tractors will be divided into two classes: tractors built in 1959 and before, and tractors built from 1960 through 1972. But if a newer tractor shows up, “we will find some way to let him pull,” Mitchell said. “We aim to please.” Mitchell expects the pull to last until about 5 p.m. Back by popular demand will be Dynamite Championship Wrestling. The ring will be set up at Delaware

Avenue and William Street and wrestlers will compete from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For complete information, visit www.dcwprowrestling.com. Of course, what scrapple festival would be complete without a scrapple carving contest and a couple scrapple throwing contests? The Apple-Scrapple Festival’s annual scrapple carving contest will start at 11 a.m. near the entertainment stage. Hopeful contestants will be given 1-pound blocks of scrapple and allowed to sculpt out of it whatever their imaginations come up with. As for scrapple throwing, the annual Scrapple Chunkin’ will start at 1 p.m. in the field behind Woodbridge High School. Contestants will heave blocks of scrapple as far as they can — last year, high school track coach Charlie Gibbs, threw his block of scrapple 110 feet to claim the men’s division prize and Evonda Rooks, Bridgeville, threw the scrapple 73 feet to win the women’s division. Youth winners were Bradley Snyder, Seaford, who threw the scrapple 95 feet, and Caroline Breeding, Greenwood, who threw it 37 feet. At 2 p.m., the Mayor’s Scrapple

United Way launches effort to raise $22 million United Way of Delaware recently launched its 2007 fundraising campaign with a goal of $22 million. Early commitments to the campaign have already raised $5.2 million of that goal. The 2007 Campaign is being led by co-chairs Connie Bond Stuart, president of PNC Bank Delaware, and Wayne Holden, financial advisor with Merrill Lynch. This year, United Way leaders are stressing the importance of designating all or a portion of every gift to United Way of Delaware’s Community Impact Fund. The fund is a general pool of support that allows donors to address the state’s most critical needs with a single donation. Donations to the Community Impact Fund benefit programs within Delaware’s health and human service infrastructure. The 2007 Campaign will run through late December, although United Way of Delaware welcomes donations throughout the year.

Goodfellow greets Delaware
Candy Abbott, author of “Gavin Goodfellow: The Lure of Burnt Swamp” and owner of Fruitbearer Publishing, along with her husband Drew, are hosting an East Coast Book Launch at Delmarva Christian High School on 21150 Airport Road in Georgetown from 2 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 6. “This is a party to celebrate ‘all things Gavin’,” Candy Abbott says. “We’ll be previewing our newly designed website where guests can blog about the experience while the party is going on and be among the first to sign up for the fan club.” There will be networking opportunities with Christian educators who are using the book in their schools. The student “Interactive Journal” will be available, and teachers will be able to get a “sneak peek” of the “Literature Guide” that is being developed by Melanie Theofiles. Guests will enjoy dramatic presentations by Liberty Church’s “Teens Acting Up,” simple portrait sketches by Laura
E. Pritchett and the unveiling of her artistic renderings of the Burnt Swamp characters, readings by the author, free refreshments and, of course, book signings and interviews.” “Gavin Goodfellow: The Lure of Burnt Swamp,” which was released May 1, is a spiritual fantasy centered on a 12year-old boy who is on the edge of discovering his spirituality. “The Lure of Burnt Swamp” is the first of three books which chronicles Gavin’s choices that will affect his hometown in a classic battle of good and evil. Firmly rooted in a contemporary setting, it has the potential to change readers’ lives. Students, parents, and grandparents from around the region are expected to attend the threehour event. For those who haven’t purchased “Gavin Goodfellow” at their local bookstores or online, the paperback and limited edition hardcover (signed and numbered) will be available at the debut. For more information, visit www.GavinGoodfellow.com or contact the Abbotts at 856-6649.

Marion Genenieve Jackson, 76
Marion Genenieve Jackson, a daughter of the late Isaac Wilson Harmon Jr. and Myrtle Elizabeth Sammons Harmon, was born March 4, 1931 and departed this life Sept. 29, 2007, at the Christiana Care Hospital, surrounded by her children and family. Marion was the fourth child born into a family of 13 children. She learned early about caring for others. Sometimes life was not always easy or fair, but she made mistakes and learned from them. She became a mother early and had eight children of her own. Most of those years were spent being a single parent. During Marion’s earlier years, she attended the Richard Allen School to the eighth grade. Marion stopped going to
PAGE 27 school and helped care for her siblings allowing her mother to work. She was a woman of many talents. She had worked and been involved in many things. Marion worked at the Showell Poultry Plant, she enjoyed doing hair in her home where family and friends gathered drinking coffee and talking about life. Mrs. Jackson assisted with the Girl Scouts, polls for the Election Board, and Cheer. She was owner of Lad & Lassie Day Care. Later, she worked in the cafeteria for the Indian River School District and Dollar General. Let’s not forget babysitting and helping to raise those grandchildren. She was a member of the Nanticoke Indian Association. Marion enjoyed the years her daughter, Thomasena, played basketball and supported her at every game. She loved to shop and stock-up on things whether she needed it or not. She also loved each one of her animals - the animals she had and the ones she had inherited from the children. She mentioned several times while in the hospital, “Do you think my dogs have forgotten me?” Marion was caring and giving. When she saw something that needed to be done, she did it without being asked. She also gave when it was not in her means to give. No one forgot Marion. She had calls from so many friends that checked on her progress. Her trips to the dialysis center, three times a week for more than a year, she called going to work. You were never left to wonder what she thought. She would speak it plain and clear. Marion had her favorites. She was very close to her sisters June Robbins, who has stood by her and has helped her during her illness, and Cecile Corsey, who has preceded her in death, and her special friend, Pauline. In addition to her parents and sister one son, Attlee Trevaine Jackson; and two brothers, Isaac Wilson III and Gussie Lindbergh Harmon, have preceded her in death. Survivors include her children: Anthony Wendall Harmon, Ian deWayne and Marion Harmon, Earlyn Yolanda and Myron Leonard Jackson, Wyatt Barlow and Andrea Jackson, Thomasena and Joseph Parham, and Thomas Walter III, and Diane Warrington. Those that have been just like her children are her granddaughters, Ashley Fullerand, Onyae Williamson and grandson Trevaine Williamson. She leaves 22 grandchildren, 24 great-grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren. She also leaves behind four brothers, Conrad Hubert, Clarene Glento, Nelson Parker and Jan LeRonne Harmon. Five sisters, Betty Bozetta Street, Mary Elenaa Street, Sadie Beatrice Miller, Dorothy Lorraine Johnson, Myrtle June Robbins, nieces, nephews and a host of friends. During this past month, Marion had gone through two major surgeries which left her paralyzed from waist down. We saw a side of Marion we had not seen before. She never once complained nor did she blame anyone. She received it with grace and was determined to walk through what had been handed to her. Marion was making plans to come home. We believe the enemy did not defeat her and God was pleased and took her home. Services are Thursday, Oct. 4, at 2 p.m., at Watson Funeral Home, Millsboro, where friends may call from noon-2 p.m. Interment will be in Indian Mission Cemetery, Millsboro. Arrangements were by Watson Funeral Home, Millsboro. Letters of condolence may be emailed to: Watson Funeral Home, Delmarvaobits.com, or Watsonfh.com

Peggy’s Family Restaurant This October, Peggy’s Family Restaurant in Greenwood will be celebrating its four year anniversary. Owners, Peggy Poulakos and Niko Voidakos, are so pleased with the success of their business, they want to thank all the loyal customers of this past year. Peggy is tremendously grateful for, not only the business her customers have given her, but the friendships and relationships she has made during the past forty-eight months. For her fourth year, Peggy vows to continue her offering of great food and pleasant dining to their past, and ever growing, new customers. Any restaurant owner knows that the first year can be the toughest. But, as Peggy can attest to, the burden can be lightened if customers are offered great service, a comfortable atmosphere, and outstanding food. Peggy is proud of the service her wait staff is able to provide. The beautifully decorated dining room is a pleasant place to enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The keyword to satisfying demanding appetites is Quality. Niko uses only the best products to prepare a variety of homemade dishes such as meatloaf, stuffed peppers and chicken dumplings. shrimp creole, scampi, salmon and the broiled combination are examples of dishes on Peggy’s menu that use only the best seafood. Popular side dishes like cole slaw and mashed potatoes are prepared fresh daily. Quality meats, generous omelets and the area’s best homefries are part of the breakfast offered at Peggy’s. Selected steaks are broiled to perfection. Two homemade soups are offered each day. veal parm, spinach pie, and roast leg of lamb are examples of the Italian and Greek dishes that Niko enjoys cooking up for the customers. Niko believes strongly that you cannot fool people when it comes to food. Diners know they are getting freshly cut chicken breast and not a frozen product when they order from Peggy’s menu. They can tell the lasagna is homemade. Niko also helps other fellow Delawareans by using local products and services from within the state. The success of Peggy’s Family Restaurant was built on satisfying the needs and wants of each individual customer, not on food costs charts and profit margins. Peggy is asking all her customers to come by and celebrate this exciting time with her. She extends an invitation to all new customers relishing a pleasurable dining experience.
We Love You All Very Much – God Bless Peggy and Niko

4-H educator offers hints for Halloween safety Before you send your little action heroes and fairy princesses out this Halloween, talk to them about the importance of staying safe while trick or treating. “From choosing a costume to choosing which houses to go to, the watch word for Halloween is caution,” says Mark Manno, state 4-H educator at the University of Delaware. Manno says that many acci-
dents are caused by unsafe costumes. Check to see that costumes are made of flame-resistant materials and that hems are 3 inches to 4 inches off the ground. To make sure children will be visible after dark, choose brightly colored costumes and/or put reflective tape on the costumes. Manno also recommends using make-up instead of masks or hoods, which can obstruct a
child’s vision. Other tips include: • Accompany children on their trick-or-treating rounds. Older children may balk at this, but let them know it’s non-negotiable. • Review traffic safety rules before you depart. • Go only to houses of people you know. • Inspect the treats at home before allowing children to eat them.

Dry the pork chops well and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the oil to the pan and heat until shimmering. Lay the chops in the pan and cook until lightly browned on the first side, about 4 minutes. Turn the chops and cook until the second side is browned and the chops are cooked through, about 3 minutes more. Transfer the chops to a platter. Pour off the excess oil from the pan. Add the vinegar, and return the pan to the heat and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits that cling to the pan. Stir in the mustard, maple syrup and chicken broth, along with any juices from the pork chops. Cook over high heat until the mixture is syrupy, about 5 minutes. Season to taste.

DelDOT good in crash reconstructions according to NCHRP national survey Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) scored high marks in a nationwide independent survey, and is credited to be at the forefront of leading the nation in the investigation of traffic incidents through coordinated crash reconstructions. Sponsored by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (ASHTO) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHA), the Transportation Research Board’s, National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) conducted a survey of all fifty states to access the results of a 1962 objective to involve state departments of transportation, (DOT’s) in crash investigation and reconstruction practices. Employing modern scientific techniques, crash reconstructions are routinely performed by law enforcement agencies for determination of liability or fault by drivers, and possible criminal actions. However, the survey found, only occasionally do state departments of transportation become involved in the reporting or findings; even though the roadway geometrics may have been a contributing cause of the incident. The report’s data showed that those state DOT’s, including Delaware, who do incorporate the use crash data, do so primarily for assessing the safety of roadway
conditions and correcting them. It was determined from the NCHRP survey that the level of involvement in crash reconstruction by most state DOT’s was relatively minor. Of the 26 states returning the survey only six (California, Delaware, Kansas, Kentucky, Oklahoma, and West Virginia) indicated that they had a unit or assigned personnel that coordinated with law enforcement on crash investigations and reconstructions on a routine basis. The number of personnel involved ranged from one in West Virginia and Oklahoma to eight in California and Delaware. Transportation Secretary, Carolann Wicks explained, “Safety has always been our number one priority and we are constantly expanding and exploring new methods to ensure the safest possible roadways for the traveling public. Experience has shown that through this coordinated and cooperative sharing of crash investigation and reconstruction information; all agencies benefit.” The NCHRP reports concludes, “the procedures used in California and Delaware demonstrate that a team approach between the DOT and law enforcement can be achieved and illustrates the opportunity lost by other state DOT’s that do not use this approach.”
Briggs named state security advisor Governor Ruth Ann Minner and David B. Mitchell, Secretary of Safety and Homeland Security have announced the appointment of Robert A. Briggs as the State Homeland Security Advisor. Briggs was appointed Homeland Security Advisor following the departure of Edward Smith who accepted a position with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Before joining the Department of Safety and Homeland Security, Briggs worked as a policy analyst for the National Governors Association (NGA) within the Homeland Security and Technology Division in the NGA Center for Best Practices. With the NGA, he helped conduct pandemic influenza workshops that looked at coordination on the state level as well as state and federal relationships prior to and during a pandemic. “Bob’s vast knowledge of emerging homeland security concerns from a local
and nation perspective will prove invaluable to this State. We will benefit from his experience and interaction with top homeland security professionals throughout the country,” said Secretary Mitchell. He is also a nine-year veteran of Capitol Hill. He worked as an analyst for the House of Representatives Subcommittee on National Security, Emerging Threats and International Relations. He conducted numerous congressional hearings, which included chemical plant security and September 11th health effects of both responders and residents of Ground Zero. Briggs holds a master’s of science degree in biodefense from George Mason University in Va. He also earned a bachelor's degree in political science from LeMoyne College in Syracuse, N.Y.

MORNING STAR • OCTOBER 4 - 10, 2007
Comprehensive plan under review By Daniel Richardson The Sussex County comprehensive plan update was presented in a public hearing at the Laurel Fire Hall on September 26. This hearing was one of two held in Sussex County on the plan. The public hearings were just one step in the approval process. Delaware law requires that the County Council update the plan every five years and that it be scrutinized by all departments of the state and opened up for public scrutiny. After all departments of the state have reviewed the document, the council will then write a redraft considering public comment as well as comments of the departments of the state. The redraft will be sent to the Livable Delaware Advisory Council, a committee of state officials selected by the governor, for review. After all that, one more public hearing will be held and the plan will be adopted and sent to the governor to sign. The
County Council expects the plan to be signed by the governor in January. At the hearing, Paul Driscoll, a consultant from Urban Research and Development who was hired by the council, gave an overwiew. Driscoll said that the plan attempts to address the concerns of preservation, growth control, traffic congestion and the preservation of natural resources while keeping in mind the need for economic growth, more jobs and the preservation of farm equity. Some of the main highlights include keeping growth limited to areas which already have an infrastructure in place or where an infrastructure can be secured cost effectively, promoting agricultural land use and protecting the natural resources such as the inland bays. DelDOT's mobility consultant, Anna Lynn Smith, also gave an overview of DelDOT's role in the plan. "The linkage between land use and transportation is so
strong and so inherent that they need to be in sync in order to achieve the most benefit," said Smith. Some of the concerns that DelDOT is attempting to address in the plan include the population increase (250,000 people are expected to be living in Sussex County by 2030), the lack of public transit especially in low income areas, an aging population, and job growth, especially on the western side of the county. Tom Darby of Seaford expressed his concern for the Nanticoke River at the meeting. "Neither the Nanticoke River nor Broad Creek is listed as environmentally sensitive (in the plan), and I think that consideration should to be given to environmentally sensitive areas on this side of the county," said Darby. A full copy of the comprehensive plan is available at www.sussexcountyde.gov. The public is encouraged to review it and submit any concerns to the County Council during this review process.

Bulldogs overcome mistakes, stop Lake Forest, 34-33, in overtime By Pat Murphy The Laurel Bulldogs brought their high wire Harry Houdini escape act to Robert Ruston Stadium for the home folks on Friday, Sept. 28 and came away with their third straight one point win, 34-33. This time the victim was the Lake Forest Spartans. The kicking game figured in all three wins and the last two have been in overtime. The Bulldogs are now 3-1 and Lake Forest is 0-4 after losing two straight one point decisions. There were 15 penalties, an interception, and three fumbles in the wild contest. Laurel coach Ed Manlove said, “I don’t think we played up to our potential, but there were also many positives to this.” The game started with the most unusual of first quarters as the Spartans kept the ball the entire quarter except for the one play that the Bulldog offense coughed the ball up. The Spartans could not get on the scoreboard until the last play of the quarter as they failed on a 32-yard field goal earlier. Ta’Quca Turner scored the first Lake touchdown from the three yard line. The
Spartans kept the drive alive after an offsides penalty on the Bulldogs, ending the first quarter up 6-0 after their two-point run failed. On the opening possession of the second quarter the Bulldogs had a 13 play drive that culminated with hard running Blake Hare scoring from the seven yard line at the 6:33 mark. As expected, Laurel’s sure footed kicker Kyle Brown booted the extra point to give the Bulldogs a 7-6 lead. Less than three minutes later the Bulldogs hit pay dirt again as Tyler “Tank” West finished off a drive by bulling his way into the end zone from the four yard line for the score. West had 25 carries for 119 yards and two touchdowns on the night. Brown’s kick made it 14-6. On the next Lake series, although the Spartans did not score, Lake’s Robbie Hicks showed the Bulldogs he was going to be a force. Hicks ran the kickoff 46 yards to the Bulldog 32. The Bulldog defense stiffened as Matt Parker broke up two passes and Laurel’s front line defense held. The Bulldogs then started a drive that

Delmar varsity football team moves to 4-0 with 38-8 win The Delmar varsity football team advance to 4-0 with a 38-8 non-conference win over Archmere last Saturday. The Wildcats begin conference play with a showdown against Indian River this Friday night in Dagsboro. Tevin Jackson scored on a 17-yard touchdown run and Seth Benson booted the extra point to give Delmar a 7-0 lead with 8:32 left in the first quarter. Justin Thomas added a four-yard run and Benson converted the PAT with 6:52 remaining. Thomas scored from 19 yards out for his second touchdown of the run to extend the Wildcats’ lead to 20-0 with 1:02 left. Kerry King added a 35-yard interception return for a touchdown with 4:33 to go in the half. Thomas scored his third touchdown of the game with a 24-yard run with 9:10 remaining in the third quarter. Fernandez Batson added a 26-yard touchdown run to make it 38-0 with 1:41 left in the quarter. Archmere scored eight points in the final quarter with a touchdown and a safety, but the Wildcats held on to win, 38-8. Jackson had 10 carries for 131 yards, Taylor Ballard added five carries for 115 yards, and Thomas ran the ball 10 times for 127 yards. Batson also had six carries for 50 yards and Joe Pete caught a pass from Matt Campbell for 13 yards.

Seaford Boosters announce major plans for hockey field For the last four years the hockey boosters have been working with the Seaford School District to plan a significant upgrade to the field hockey playing fields. If all the plans come together, the ladies will be playing on a graded irrigated field of new grass in the 2008 season. The Wilmer-Tull Varsity Game field and the JV fields are being upgraded through a joint effort of the Seaford Hockey Boosters and the Seaford School District. Plans are to install a new underground sprinkler system on Wilmer-Tull game field and the adjacent JV field and then re-seed both fields. The Seaford Hockey Boosters have held Play Day fundraisers for the last four years and are working closely with the school district in the coordination of the state of the art underground irrigation system. The booster parents are supplying funds as well as labor to install the system at the end of this hockey season. The total cost of the system is approximately $12,000. “We have been raising money and designing this project for the last four seasons and it is now becoming a reality. This should give the Seaford hockey girls one of the best playing fields downstate” said head coach Robin Verdery. A new “Friends of Seaford Field Hockey” sign will be erected at the field to help raise the final funds needed to complete the field improvements. Friends can agree to be platinum sponsors for $100, gold sponsors for $50, or silver sponsors for $25. All Friends will have their name on the new sign. All former players, coaches and supporters are urged to be involved. A dedication will be held at the beginning of the 2008 season. If you need more information you can contact any varsity or JV hockey player, booster co-presidents Paul Bradham (629-8532) and Lisa Miller (628-9564) or Jack Riddle (629-5138). You can e-mail the Seaford Hockey Boosters at sfdhockeyplayday@aol.com.

Kosiorowski brought the punt back to the 48 yard line as the crowd got into it. West gained a huge section of real estate to the Lake 35 with a 17-yard effort, followed by Hare’s run for nine yards and a nine-yard gain by West. A few plays later the Bulldogs faced fourth down and six with 24.7 seconds to go. It was “Downtown Brown” time again as Kyle Brown boomed a 24-yard field goal to tie the game at 27-27. Time ran out in regulation, although the Bulldogs did recover an onsides kick. In the first overtime period Brown missed his first field goal of the season after the Bulldogs could not move the ball from the 10 yard line. His kick from an angle was high but to the right. The Spartans tried to end it on their first play but Laurel’s Cody Bristow, who always seems to be in the right place, went to his knees in the end zone for the interception. Lake started the second overtime period with the ball, moving it to the five on the first play. After an incomplete pass and a time-out, the Spartans scored. Russell Burton took it in to make it 33-27. Lake decided to test Laurel’s defense on more time as Burton took the pitch and tried to run it in only to meet Laurel’s Josh Kosiorowski who stopped him cold. The Bulldogs had one more chance and West took it in on two five-yard runs, making it 33-33. Brown delivered a line drive kick through the uprights to win the game, 34-33. On offense, Laurel had 21 first downs to Lake’s 11. Hicks had 250 all-purpose yards for the Spartans and Hare and West each had 119 yards for the Bulldogs. Kelley was five for 11 for 93 yards passing with one rushing touchdown. Albert had two catches for 61 yards.

Motorcycle show among the many new attractions By Lynn R. Parks For the first time in its 16-year history, Bridgeville’s Apple-Scrapple Festival will have a motorcycle show. The Pig Out, sponsored by HarleyDavidson of Seaford, will be held on the grounds of Cannon Cold Storage at the corner of West Market Street and U.S. 404, Saturday, Oct. 13, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. All proceeds from the bike show will benefit the Woodbridge School District. The profits will be divided between the district’s endowed scholarship fund and its school uniform assistance program. The show will include vendors, who will be selling the latest in biking clothing and accessories, and entertainment. “The bike show will be close enough to the main part of the festival that everyone can walk to it,” said Bonnie Workman, festival chairwoman. Market Street, from U.S. 404 to Main Street, will be closed to vehicle traffic from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Apple-Scrapple Festival will start Friday, Oct. 12, with food and entertainment. It will last through Saturday, Oct. 13, closing with a street dance featuring music by the 10-piece rock and soul band, Who’s Ya Daddie? Planning for the annual event is coming along well, said Workman. “We are now at the point that we
start worrying about the weather,” she said. “The only thing that can through a wrench in everything is if it rains.” Indeed, the 14th annual festival, in 2005, was shut down at 4 p.m. Saturday after nearly 24 hours of rain. Showers, with some downpours, lasted Friday afternoon through Saturday night, drenching runners in the annual 5K Hogg Jogg and participants in the festival’s scrapple chunking contest. Only 42 cars showed up for the festival’s car show, which usually attracts up to 300 entries, and none of the crafters who had reserved outdoor spots set up their booths. (As a matter of interest: The venerable Farmer’s Almanac predicts heavy rains for the Mid-Atlantic States, of which Delaware is one, Oct. 8 through Oct. 11. Showers should have left the area for the start of the festival on Oct. 12, though.) Perhaps to make up for the 2005 washout, last year’s Apple-Scrapple Festival was the largest ever, Workman said, with an estimated 35,000 people attending. Workman expects the same size crowd this year. “Every year we all sit around and wonder, how in the world did this happen?” she said. “I really think a big part of the attraction is the name. People really like it. And I think we pay attention to what the people want. They like buses so they can get around, and we provide that. And they

Workman added that the fact that most of the activities, including most of the food booths, are sponsored by non-profit groups. Apple dumpling sales benefit Mennonite mission trips and the Bridgeville Kiwanis and Lions clubs have food booths, as do many school, church and community groups. In addition, the three-day carnival benefits the Bridgeville Public Library. “It really pulls out a lot of people when they know they are helping non-
profits,” Workman said. No matter the size of the crowd, Bridgeville will be all cleaned up by noon on Sunday, looking as though it has been through nothing more than a regular weekend. This year, the cleanup will be a bit easier, Workman said, as the festival has hired a professional crew to keep trashcans emptied throughout the weekend. “Every year, I am always amazed that it all works so well,” Workman added. “It is just amazing to me that that many people are happy to get on buses and come to Bridgeville. They just love coming here, and I am pleased that every year, we can put it all together for them.”

HOW THE FESTIVAL STARTED
Apple and Scrapple are two items that put town on the map
By Lynn Parks The Apple-Scrapple Festival was designed as a way to highlight two items that have put Bridgeville on the map. The apple part of Apple Scrapple will be featured at T. S. Smith and Sons’ packing house just north of town. The 800-acre T. S. Smith and Sons farm and orchard is Delaware’s oldest surviving commercial apple orchard, and one of only two commercial orchards in the state. Throughout the festival, the packing house will have baskets of apples for sale, as well as cider, apple butter, applesauce and apple doughnuts and cakes. As for scrapple, the Ralph and Paul Adams plant at Market Street and Railroad Avenue has been turning out
blocks of Rapa scrapple since 1926, when it was founded by brothers Ralph and Paul Adams; they derived the name for their scrapple from their names. Now owned by the Jones Dairy Farm based in Fort Atkinson, Wis., the plant makes four varieties of Rapa Scrapple: original, beef, bacon and hot and spicy. The Bridgeville plant also makes Habbersett, Greensboro and Jones Dairy scrapple. In addition to the Bridgeville Senior Center, Rapa donates scrapple to the Woodbridge High School Band Boosters scrapple sandwich booth as well as for the festival’s annual scrapple carving contest. In its first year, the Apple-Scrapple Festival attracted about 2,500 visitors. Last year, about 35,000 people attended the event.

Health Kids learn from adults By Anthony Policastro, M.D Children are great mimics. We get a kick out of them when they imitate adults. That is usually when they copy words or actions. We think it is funny when they are young. However, we tend to forget that they do the same thing when they are older. They copy our good habits. If the parents go to church regularly, the children will likely do so. If the parents are volunteers in the community, the children are likely to do voluntary things in the community. We often want our children to do these kinds of things when they grow up. However, we need to set the example. We cannot expect them to do good things if they do not see us do those same things. They also copy our bad habits. The best example of that is using obscene language. They repeat what they hear at home. Eighty-five percent of adolescents who smoke cigarettes have parents who smoke cigarettes. They tend to mimic their parents' drinking habits. They will follow safety habits like buckling seat belts or using bicycle helmets. It is a good idea for parents to take an inventory of their habits. They should list the good habits in one column. They should list the bad habits in another column. They
Once we know what things we want to do more, we can make a habit of doing those things in front of our children. should spend a week or so putting check marks on the list. If the number of check marks in the bad habits column outnumbers those in the good habits column, then some thought needs to go into that. However, we need to come up with a plan. Once we know what things we want to do more, we can make a habit of doing those things in front of our children. The same is true for those things that we do not want to do. If we fail to do so, we may find that by the time our children go into adolescence, the habits they have developed are not going to change. We need to remember that it takes years to develop these habits. It will take years to prevent them from developing the wrong way. The next time your young child does something you think is cute, stop and think about some of the other things that you do, that would not look cute. Make sure the child does not see too many of those.

Heart Walk to show your commitment and support for this amaz-
ing cause. The 5K (3.1 miles) walk will raise money for research opportunities as well as education and awareness resources.

Help for lymphedema sufferers Millions of Americans suffer from lymphedema or edema of the arms, legs, trunk or reproductive organs and have not received treatment. The term "edema" refers to an excessive amount of fluid in tissues or organs of the body resulting in swelling. Lymphedema is the swelling of subcutaneous tissue and skin as a result of the malfunction of the lymphatic system. There are two types of lymphedema: • Primary - develops when lymphatic vessels are missing or impaired (a rare inherited condition that can present itself at any point in the patient's life). • Secondary - develops when lymphatic
vessels are damaged or lymph nodes are removed (a result of physical damage or interruption of the lymph system). Being diagnosed with lymphedema is a life-altering event. Suddenly your body doesn't function like it did before. It doesn't look or feel the same. Your self-image and interactions with others may change. You can't do things like you used to. Activities you took for granted may now be difficult or even dangerous. If you or someone you know suffers from lymphedema, there are answers. Contact Nanticoke Health Services at Herring Run, 629-6614, for further information regarding treatment.

The Wellness Community-Delaware is celebrating its growth in Sussex County with a hoedown. Kick up your heels to country music favorites with Brian K. Hall of the CAT Country morning DJ team. The Red Balloon Hoedown will be held Friday, Oct. 19, from 7-11 p.m. at the Baycenter in Dewey Beach. Event sponsors include Delmarva Broadcasting, Cape Gazette and the Tunnell Cancer Center.

"All of the programs at The Wellness Community are offered at no charge, so the Red Balloon Hoedown is an important fundraiser for us," said Suzanne Landon, Event chair. Landon, a breast cancer survivor, emphasized that there is a tremendous need in Sussex County for the cancer support services provided by The Wellness Community - Delaware. "Through on-site program participation and community outreach efforts, we have had an average of 600 contacts each month since relocating to our new facility on Rt. 24," said Lan-
don. The Wellness Community-Delaware is seeking additional sponsors for the Red Balloon Hoedown. Sponsors play an intricate role in allowing The Wellness Community-Delaware to continue to provide vital support programs for people in Sussex County touched by cancer. For more information on sponsorships or to purchase tickets, contact Barbara Smith or Jo Wilkins by calling The Wellness Community at (302) 645-9150.

Health pros talk to seventh graders
Delaware physicians will share their knowledge with seventh grade students across the state on Healthy Living Day 2007, Wednesday, Oct. 10. “Seventh grade is an important time in a young person’s life. He or she gains independence and begins making more decisions for him or herself. We are very excited to be able to play a part in helping Delaware students form the attitudes and habits that will result in healthy lifestyles for years to come,” said Nancy Fan, M.D., chair of MSD’s School Health Committee. According to the superintendents, by seventh grade, students have matured enough to understand the material and still be impressionable. More than 30 MSD member physicians have volunteered to present the “Healthy Living Day 2007” program to every traditional public middle school throughout the entire state of Delaware. Students will view a presentation developed by MSD’s School Health Committee and then have an opportunity to ask questions of the physician presenting the program. The 30-minute presentation covers areas relevant to middle school students including emotional health, bullying, Lt. Gov. John Carney’s Challenge for all Delawareans to become more physically active, eating healthy, resisting tobacco and alcohol use, and more.
Wound Care celebrates anniversary On Sept. 25, 2006, Nanticoke Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center opened its
doors to provide healing solutions for individuals in our community suffering from non-healing wounds. The Center is a partnership of Nanticoke Health Services with National Healing Corporation (NHC) and is the only wound care provider in the state to provide hyperbaric oxygen as a treatment option. NHC is the second largest provider of wound care and hyperbaric services nationally, with over 133 Centers in 31 states. Nanticoke Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center is located on the southern aspect of the hospital's ground floor, with designated parking to provide easy patient access. The Center offers healing treatments to a wide variety of wound types. The combination of advanced techniques and access to resources from all over the country provides the best possible care, and positive healing outcomes for over 90% of those who complete the recommended care plan.
Bioengineered skin grafts and silverbased dressings are available to prevent wound infections and allow the body tissues to regenerate. The two hyperbaric chambers allow patients to lie comfortably inside clear acrylic tubes and watch television while breathing pure pressurized oxygen; normal air is only about 21% oxygen. Program Director, Kathy Wright 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 Care Center team, have brought a new spectrum of treatment options to our patients." In celebration of the Center's one year anniversary, the community is invited to tour Nanticoke Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center during an open house on Monday, Oct. 8 from 4:30-6:30 p.m. For more information, call 629-6611, ext. 2340.

MORNING STAR • OCTOBER 4 - 10, 2007
In fall on the Delmarva Peninsula, festivals abound From mid-September until almost the end of October, there are fairs, festivals, gatherings and special events of every kind imaginable, particularly here on Delmarva. In late September, Old Furnace near Snow Hill, along with the good people of Nassawango, held an open house of the museum and outbuildings of this unique, once-thriving area. In all the years we have lived here in Sussex, this was the first time we had ventured down to Old Furnace and the festivities. For some of us who attended the event, the outdoor quilt show was the featured attraction. Quilts, made primarily by the women of the Nassawango area, hung on lines stretched between the pine trees surrounding the museum and outbuildings. Members of the Delmarvalous Quilt Guild and of Seaside Appliqué had two beautiful raffle quilts on display. These two quilts, along with many created by the women of the Nassawango group, made for colorful displays between the shade trees. A trip down to Old Furnace is definitely on the list of “things-to-do” close to home for friend husband and me in the very near future. This old iron furnace is unique in these days of hustle, bustle, and get-it-done-quickly thinking. On Saturday, Oct. 20, and Sunday, Oct. 21, the Kent-Sussex Quilters will present a biannual quilt show at the Milford Senior Center on Park Avenue. Show hours are Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, from noon to 5 p.m. “Stitching Memories Year After Year” is the theme for the show this year. The combined forces of Delmarvalous quilters, Helping Hands, Piecemakers and Ocean Waves offer quilts of every size to be hung and enjoyed by one and all. Also on display will be wall-hangings, country store items and raffle quilts, and there will be a silent auction of miniature quilts. Lunch served by the senior center will be available on Saturday. Oct. 12 and 13 offers the always-popular Apple Scrapple Festival in Bridgeville. Scrapple lovers flock to this gathering, which features craft booths,

One thing sure about Saturdays in October — anyone interested in getting out of the house and enjoying the beautiful fall weather may do so by just attending at least one of the above functions. At the same time, one is sure to spot old friends, resulting in a mini-reunion, plus there is always plenty of Sussex County food available. Take the time to enjoy the day!

Doing the Towns Together LAUREL AND DELMAR SOCIALS SARAH MARIE TRIVITS • 875-3672 Minos and Pinky Givens recently spent a week in Laurel visiting relatives and old friends. They then left for a trip to St. Thomas and returned to Laurel for another week to finish out their vacation before returning to their home in Vero Beach, Fla. Evelyn Imbach from Jacksonville, Fla., has been visiting her sister Gerda Naveira and husband, Manuel Naveira, for two weeks. She returned to Florida on Tuesday after visiting her sister, whom she had not seen for several years, and was delighted to take in the lovely areas here and to meet the friendly local folks. Everyone knows that one only goes to Parris Island, S.C., for one thing — so on Oct. 15, Steven D. Adkins will travel there (not a vacation) to become a Marine and to study to be a top rate diesel mechanic. Good luck, Steve. Since his retirement, Frank Calio has found time to take Carolyn on a few trips south of Delmarva borders. Recently they visited son, Dominic, and family in Virginia, then to Pinehurst, N.C., to drop in on old neighbors, to Alabama to visit aunt and uncle June and Layton Carmine and Denise, then to Plains, Ga., where they attended the Peanut Festival and saw former President Carter. Traveling on they went to Myrtle Beach, S.C., for a visit with cousin Greg Carmine, then they found their way back to Laurel, where they are now in residence — for a while, I guess. Congratulations to John Evans, who achieved every golfer’s dream with a hole in one during a recent tournament at the Seaford Golf and Country Club. On a recent Tuesday with Rosa Lee Mutchler acting hostess, a Laurel group of Red Hat Ladies enjoyed a delectable lunch at Heritage Shores in Bridgeville. Another group of Hatters, the Bonnets and Boas, dined at The House restaurant on Tuesday, Sept 25, with 28 ladies attending. They welcomed three new members, Susan Callaway, Carolyn Tyndall and Maxine Ungerbuehler, who also is duchess
of the Red Hats of Sussex County. Pete and Rosalie Overbaugh and Keith and Ann Jones of Delmar visited New York last Tuesday, a first for them. They toured Ellis Island and saw the Statue of Liberty, a must if you are in or around New York. Kim and John Trivits spent last weekend in Gainsville, Va., as guests of Kim’s sister and her husband, Deborah and Mike Matalone. On Saturday morning, they assisted with the harvest of white grapes at the Marterella winery, then were treated to lunch and wine tasting while enjoying the scenery and beautiful view of the rolling hills of Virginia. We express our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Norma Jane Cordrey, Dallas Lee Hearn, Geneva Mae Davis and Dorothy E. Smith. We continue with prayers for all of our service women and men and prayers for those who are ill: Philip Lowe, Jean Henry, Richard Cordrey, Steve Trivits, Irma Ellis, Harriett MacVeigh, Herman Cubbage, George and Sylvia Wingate, Madelyn Mitchell, Derrick Henry, Sam Moore, Teresa Littleton, Martha Windsor, Hattie Puckham, Fred Dykes, Martha Henderson, Donald Layton Sr. and Bobby Whaley. Here are some special birthday wishes to Nicole Kelley for her 25th year’s observance on Oct. 4, and happy birthday to Lucy Lutz on Oct 10. Happy anniversary from all their friends, to Homer and Verna Disharoon. May they celebrate and anticipate many more, as they observe and remember this date, Oct. 10. Happy birthday wishes for: Jean Green, Pauline Wikstrom and Carla Willey (Oct. 4); Vincent Whaley and Sturgis Lowe (Oct. 6); Donald Hoover and Betty Lynch (Oct. 7); Frances Fisher and Martha Pusey (Oct. 8) Betty Frank, Katherine Marvil and Doris Shenk(Oct. 9); and Jay Feldman, Jane L. Givens and Rachel Waller (Oct. 10). See you in the Stars.

Letters to the Editor Gays disrupt perfect world of opponents to S. B. 141
Iranian President Ahmadinejad’s recent statement that Iran has no homosexuals was so ludicrous as to elicit widespread laughter in his Columbia University audience. Lacking Ahmadinejad’s anti-gay agenda, these collegians are aware that homosexuality is not a western construct. Indeed, scholars have found that the percentage of homosexuals over the last five millennia and in every culture, no matter how persecutive, is consistent: something under 10 percent. (See, for example Chandler Burr, “A Separate Creation.”) Of course, Ahmadinejad might want to believe there are no homosexuals in Iran, where homosexuality is actually a capital offense. Similarly, right-wing extremists right here in Delaware have no room in their perfect world for gay and transgender persons, and thus oppose the most basic civil rights for us. Sneering at the 69 percent of Delawareans polling in favor (Hickman-Brown, 2002) and Jack Markell’s 2007 petition containing more than 900 signatories, Dixiecrats in the Delaware Senate have prevented S.B. 141 and all previous equality legislation. Do our Delaware lawmakers really want to align themselves with President Ahmadinejad’s mindset? Douglas Marshall-Steele

Transportation is the best area to cut oil consumption
Richardson’s column showed poor journalism, judgement This e-mail is specifically in response to Mr. Bryant Richardson’s recent article in your newspaper. This e-mail will not be shocking or full of accusations that you, as a fair and impartial journalist, could not publish if you wished. I take offense to the subtile implications in your article that were carefully skirted with such phrases as, “If what was written is true” and then maliciously treated as though they were gospel. If, in fact, you weren’t there and don’t even know who wrote the e-mail, how could you then follow that up with implicit accusations that left your reader with no other reaction than to believe that these teachers are vulgar, disrespectful people setting “bad examples” and need to work in other professions where “their misbehavior would not be witnessed by our children?” I would like to respectfully submit that you get all of the facts before printing what could possibly be slanderous comments about people in a situation that you did not witness in person, or before you take information from an unnamed e-mail and run with it as though it were true. Even though you carefully planted statements to excuse your incrimination, you have authored a indirect, or maybe a direct, jab. I find that poor journalism and truly troubling. Carol Lowe

Castle, Denn support expansion of insurance program Insurance Commissioner Matt Denn and U.S. Rep. Mike Castle are urging their colleagues to support the federal reauthorization and expansion of the State Children’s Health Insurance Programs (SCHIP). SCHIP, which provides federal funding to states to help provide low-cost health insurance to low-income families, was set to expire Sept. 30. Congress has passed measures to reauthorize and expand it to include more children, something the president has threatened to veto. “This program is close to my heart because as governor, I worked with the Nemours Foundation to extend this health care program for children,” Castle said. “I continue to believe this coverage is essential support reauthorizing and expanding SCHIP to ensure that all children who are eligible for this program will receive the quality health care they need.
Denn has asked the National Association of Insurance Commissioners to pass a resolution supporting SCHIP. He recently e-mailed commissioners around the country urging them to contact their members of Congress soon. “Given the threatened presidential veto of this reauthorization, it is important that the bill pass with a sufficient majority to withstand a presidential veto,” Denn wrote in his email. “SCHIP programs are a significant part of the health coverage networks for children in each of our states, and expanding that coverage to additional children is a logical step toward lowering the number of uninsured children.” Denn recently announced a campaign to expand enrollment of low-income children in the state’s existing SCHIP program, which is called the Delaware Healthy Children Program and currently serves about 5,000 kids.

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