Men who rescue teens from burning car receive honors

By Lynn R. Parks Dusty Hamilton and Todd Smith were just there to watch the football game. Hamilton, of Blades, planned to root for the home team and his alma mater, Sussex Tech, and Smith for Laurel High, where he is a custodian.

In the end, the two men got to watch the game. But before the opening whistle sounded, they and two other Sussex County volunteer firefighters had helped several teenage girls to escape from a burning vehicle.

For their efforts, Hamilton, Smith, Jason Boyce and Mark Sheridan were honored by the Delaware State Fire Chiefs Association.

The four were among 10 Delaware firefighters who received Heroic Firefighter of the Year awards from the organization. The awards were presented Sept. 15 during the annual conference of the Delaware Volunteer Firemen’s Association.

“Their quick action, without regard for their own safety, prevented serious injury or death,” according to the

chiefs’ association.

“I was very pleased to get the award,” said Sheridan, 40, the fire chief with the Laurel Volunteer Fire Department. “It is a very prestigious award.”

“I knew that I was going to get something at the ceremony, but I didn’t know that it was going to be the hero award,” added Smith, 36, also a volunteer with the Laurel department. “I don’t think that I’m a hero. I am trained to do that kind of thing. I’m Continued to page 10

Goodwill will have offices, thrift store in Bridgeville

By Lynn R. Parks The first Sussex County office for Goodwill Industries of Delaware and Delaware County will be in Bridgeville.

Last Thursday, officials with Goodwill and with the town of Bridgeville broke ground at the site for the new building, on U.S. 13 next to Antique Alley.

The 22,000-square foot building will feature 12,000 square feet of retail space, where Goodwill will have a thrift store.

The building will also have administrative offices and classrooms for its job training program.

“This is very exciting,” said Goodwill spokesman Charles “Ebbie” Alfree III. “It is a great thrill to be able to come to Sussex County and to offer our programs in Sussex County.”

Goodwill, which is affiliated with Goodwill Industries International, has office buildings in New Castle County and in Kent County. It also operates thrift stores in Bear, Claymont, Hockessin, Middletown, Dover, Newark and Wilmington.

Alfree said that the organization intends to set up other thrift stores in Sussex County.

In the Bridgeville facility, Goodwill will offer job training to “people who have barriers to employment,” Alfree said. It will also have a staffing service, through which it connects employers with workers.

Janitors who have trained in the New Castle and Kent facilities, for example, clean the courthouses in those counties.

Delaware County, said that the facility will employ about 20 people. Construction on the building was to start this week and be

finished in April or May. Construction firm is Regional Builders, Seaford. The architectural firm is ArchiTech, Salisbury.

Donations of goods for the thrift store will be accepted starting March, Van Name said.

Bridge completion dates delayed because of Hurricane Ernesto Reopening of the bridge on US 13A over Morgan Branch between Blades and Laurel has been delayed two weeks, due to the remnants of Hurricane Ernesto over Labor Day weekend.

The storm rains required pumping out of water which delayed construction of the bridge.

It’s now set to open on Friday, Oct. 13, according to Tina Shockley, DelDOT Community Relations Officer.

Reopening of the bridge on Del. 20 over Horse Pen Branch, west of Seaford, has also been delayed due to the Labor Day storm and late delivery of the fabricated box frame of the bridge. Overall this delayed this bridge's reopening by three weeks. It’s set to open October 20, Shockley said.

“Please note these dates are subject to change for weather or other delays, but as of now that is what we are anticipating,” Shockley added.

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

Riders needed for Bike-a-thon Coordinator Ron Breeding would like to encourage everyone to consider giving to this year’s St. Jude’s fundraiser.

The annual St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital Wheels For Life Bike-a thon is this Sunday, Oct. 8, at 2 p.m. at West Seaford Elementary School. Riders are encouraged to arrive early.

“Remember, this is not a race, but a great opportunity for family and friends to take a nice bike ride while helping others,” Breeding said.

The annual St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital is noted for its battle against childhood cancer and other catastrophic childhood diseases.

“We’re looking for riders who will contribute their time and talent to help children live. We really need lots of riders, since they are the ones who can make this bike-a-thon successful,” Breeding said.

In the Wheels For Life Bike-a-thon, riders ask sponsors to make donations based on each mile completed. All riders turning in money will receive a certificate. Those who raise $35 will receive a certificate and a special St. Jude T-shirt.

When $75 is raised, the rider receives a backpack as well as the certificate and the T-shirt.

Also plans are being made to give a $100 savings bond to the top fund-raiser plus great gifts will be given to the boy or girl in each of the following age groups who collect the most money.

The age groups are: high school and above, fourth grade through eighth and third and below.

The Seaford Kiwanis Club hosts the event by providing refreshments. This is a great family project that provides everyone with a “feel good feeling.”

Entry forms are available at all school offices, the Department of Parks and Recreation, and City Hall. Anyone wishing to provide a prize, sponsor a rider, or participate in the ride should call Ron Breeding at 629-3964.

“If you can’t ride, make a donation,” Breeding said. Checks may be made out to Seaford Kiwanis Club, and sent to Kiwanis, PO Box 1017, Seaford, DE 19973.

Home-grown movie will debut in Milton Theatre Oct. 21 Film includes two scenes shot in Laurel and an all-Delaware cast

By Lynn R. Parks John Wattenbarger needed just the right house for a scene he was shooting for his movie. And he found it, east of Laurel on Horsey Church Road.

The brick rancher appears in just two scenes in “The Stone House,” which was filmed largely in Milton. But it was perfect for those scenes, Wattenbarger said.

“It is out by itself, surrounded by fields and woods,” he said. “It has a real country feel. It looked like it would fit, and it did.”

“The Stone House” will have its debut Oct. 21 in the restored Milton Theatre.

Following that, it will be shown Friday, Nov. 10, as part of the Rehoboth Beach Film Festival.

“It was really nice to see such a finetuned, polished piece produced by people not in the trade,” said Joe Bilancio, program director of the film festival. “The script, acting, directing, editing and music are all done by people in the area. Part of our mission is to promote and share local and regional works by or about local people.”

Wattenbarger, 27, lives in Lewes and is a computer technician. “I have always been a fan of film, ever since I remember,” he said.

“I have a love of photography and I knew I had the knowledge to work with editing on computers. I knew I could do a film.”

In addition to directing, Wattenbarger collaborated with Bill Morse, Millsboro, in writing the script and even appears in the film. About 60 people are in the movie, 20 of them principal characters. All of the actors are from Delaware, selected from a pool of 567 applicants.

“I thought if we got 100 people trying out, that would be really cool. When we got more than 300, that was crazy,” Wattenbarger said.

Jim Westhoff, Greenwood, was one of the actors in the movie. He plays Dayle, a hunter who meets an untimely end in the woods.

“I walk around in the woods, vaguely confused, then somebody hits me over the head,” said Westhoff, 39. “It was pretty appropriate, because I walk around vaguely confused most of the time.”

Westhoff, who said that he had never acted before, has no speaking part in the movie. “I sit on a log and drink a beer,” he

The movie will also be one of the 100 films that will be shown as part of the Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival, Rehoboth Beach.

We shot the scene at 7 in the morning and they did a lot of takes. I was on my seventh beer and I said, ‘You guys better get this soon, because you’re losing me here.’”

On the other hand, his son, Robbie, 9, who is an extra, got his scene in the first shot. And the family dog, Baxter, a Great Dane, “was a natural,” Westhoff said. “He

The movie, which Wattenbarger describes as a psychological thriller in the style of director M. Light Shyamalan’s “The Village,” tells the story of husband and wife Rick and Joslin Berlinger, who move from the city to a small country town. Soon after their arrival in town, people begin disappearing and naturally, suspicion falls on the couple. But others in Continued on page 5

For 14th year, Odd Fellows are bringing thrills, chills to town

By Lynn R. Parks It is just coincidence? Or is it fate that this year’s haunted house in Laurel sponsored by the Odd Fellows Charity Lodge will open on Friday, the 13th?

“I don’t know if it means anything or not,” said Jerry Lynch, who is chairman of the fundraising project. “That’s just how it fell.”

The lodge is sponsoring the haunted house for the 14th year.

Lynch said that about 3,300 people toured the house last year.

“People really like it,” he said.

“We have people come here from Cape Charles, Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C., and New Jersey. We really have a big following.”

Lynch attributes the popularity of the haunted house to its several facets: a haunted field, a haunted back yard and the house itself.

Boy Scout Troop 70, Laurel, set up the field; this year the theme is “Jeepers Creepers,” taken from the popular scary movies.

The back yard will have its traditional underground room, “always dark and creepy,” Lynch said. There will also be a space ship equipped with a beaming mechanism imitating the one manned by Scotty on “Star Trek.”

As for the house, “I don’t really want to say what will be in there,” Lynch said. Suffice it to say that if people aren’t screaming when they leave, the volunteers with the Charity Lodge will be disappointed.

Lynch said that he and cochairman Mike Allen got a lot of

For your information: The haunted house sponsored by the Odd Fellows Charity Lodge will be open Friday, Oct. 13, 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. It will also be open Oct. 20, 21, 27 and 28, 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., and Oct. 30, 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. For information, or to volunteer to help, call Jerry Lynch, 875-5880. their ideas for the house from watching horror films from the 1950s and 1960s. “That was before they did things with computers and we can imitate a lot of it,” Lynch said. And the fact that the effects are not from a store gives them a scarier feel, he added.

Visitors to the haunted house will start their tour at the Laurel Fire Hall. From the fire hall, they will ride a tractor-drawn wagon to the house, which is next to the Odd Fellows Cemetery (another coincidence?). The ticket booth is on the grounds of the house.

“We have some people ride over on the wagon, then they get here and realize they don’t really want to go in,” Lynch said.

“That’s fine.”

New this year will be a dragon bounce (similar to a moon bounce, but in the shape of a dragon) set up on the grounds for children.

Lynch said that, despite the run-down look of the house, it is safe. “We are inspected every year by the fire marshal,” he said.

“The house might look old and dilapidated, but it’s not. It’s in good shape.”

Director: ‘Will people cry? That would be cool’ Continued from page 4

town suspect that patients left homeless after an area asylum burned down in the ’70s are to blame for the disappearances.

“Eventually, Rick’s wife goes missing as well,” Wattenbarger said. It is up to Rick to solve the town’s mystery.

Wattenbarger declined to give away the ending of his movie.

But he said that members of the audience “will feel a lot of tension throughout.”

“This is definitely a grabber,” he added. “At the end, I hope people think, ‘I really need to see this again.’ I want people in the audience forgetting about who’s next to them and focusing instead on the people on the screen in front of them, and what’s going

on there.

“Will people cry? I hope so — that would be really cool,” he added.

Wattenbarger plans to submit “The Stone House” to other film festivals, even the top-notch Cannes and Sundance festivals.

He also hopes that his experience will lead to Hollywood directing jobs.

“Could I direct in Hollywood?

Absolutely—a piece of cake,” he said. “I know I can direct, because I did it. I feel that I have what it takes to get together a good production.”

“John is just a kid,” said Westhoff. “But that is why he was able to do this. Somebody older would have thought of a million reasons why it wouldn’t work.”

The success of a business invariably depends upon its representation in the com-

munity it serves, and that reputation is nearly always the result of a strong company leader.

Each year since 1995, the Greater Seaford Chamber of Commerce has selected a “Business Person of the Year” that best meets the stringent criteria set out by the Business Development Committee.

The person or persons has a substantiated record as an established business. The company has demonstrated growth through the years, is innovative in its approach, and takes pride in serving its customers.

The business contributes to the advancement of the community as a good place to live, work and play.

Spirit of the Community Awards The Business Development committee of the Greater Seaford Chamber of Com-

merce is again this year honoring two businesses that personify the “Spirit of the Community.”

In the Chamber category of 25 or fewer employees, Butler’s Sewing Center, Inc. will be honored, while in the Chamber category of 26 or more employees, Nanticoke Health Services is the recipient.

Businesses who are honored with the Spirit of the Community award personify that intangible quality of what it takes to make the area such a wonderful place to live, work and play.

The company owners/leaders and their employees go above and beyond what is needed to simply run a successful business. They are volunteers who contribute so much to the quality of life in the area they serve.

More about the contributions of these business leaders next week.

here to help other people.”

Smith said that he was standing in line to buy his admission ticket to the game when he heard a loud collision at the intersection in front of Sussex Tech High School near Georgetown. “I looked toward the highway and saw the accident,” he said. “I ran over there and all I could see was a big ball of fire.”

“I heard the sound of the accident and I just took off running,” said Hamilton, 20, who has been with the Blades Volunteer Fire Company for five years. “I am a firefighter and emergency medical first responder, so I didn’t even stop to think about it.”

When the firefighters got to the accident, one of the three cars involved was on fire. The firefighters worked to get the four occupants, all teenage girls, out of the car. “We got the girl out of the front passenger seat, but had a hard time getting the girl out of the back passenger-side seat,” Smith said. “Then we realized that she still had her lap belt on. Once we undid the lap belt, we could get her out.

“People told me later that the flames were shooting up over my head,” he added. “I didn’t even realize it.”

Hamilton said that after the girls were out of the car, he and the other volunteers assessed their conditions. He kept the girl he was helping from moving her head, in case she had a spinal injury. “And I tried to keep her calm and focused,” he added.

“She didn’t know where she was.”

fire chiefs. In this case, because Sheridan is a fire chief, the four were nominated by another Sussex County paramedic.

Award winners are selected by a threeperson committee. “Based on our knowledge and experience, we say, ‘We believe this was a heroic act,’” Wilson said.

During the awards ceremony, the 10

Heroic Firefighters of the Year each received a plaque. Smith said that he has the plaque hanging on his living room wall. His plaque is not the only reminder of that evening, though. “Every time I go through that intersection in front of Sussex Tech, I get goose bumps,” he said.

Hearn’s Pond group turns attention to damaged dam

By Lynn R. Parks More than three months after 14 inches of rain fell in the Seaford area, flooding roads and houses and washing away the top part of the dam at Hearn’s Pond, that dam has not been repaired.

Members of a citizens group who recently won their fight to stop annexation of nearly 600 acres near the pond are turning their attention to getting the dam repaired and perhaps even upgraded.

David Twing, a design engineer with the state’s Division of Soil and Water Conservation, anticipates that repairs on the dam will begin in December. He said that about 2 feet of soil and stones that sit on top of the dam were washed away by the June floodwaters.

“The consultant is working on designing the repairs and should complete the design in October,” he said.

In the meantime, the water level in Hearn’s Pond will be kept 3 to 4 feet lower than it normally is, Twing said. “That is a matter of safety, so if we get another hard rain the pond won’t flood again,” he said.

Because Sussex County was declared to be a disaster area after the June rain, federal funds are available to help the state pay for the dam repairs. “FEMA [the Federal Emergency Management Agency] will pay 75 percent of the cost to rebuild what was there,” Twing said.

He estimates the cost of the project at $65,000 to $70,000.

But Karin D’Armi-Hunt, spokeswoman for the HearnsPond Association for its Protection, Preservation, Enhancement and Naturalization (HAPPEN), said that it is not enough to bring the dam back to the way it was before the flood. “If that’s all they do, I feel like that’s $70,000 down the drain,” she said.

D’Armi-Hunt said that the dam should be renovated so that it can withstand flood waters. The June breach was the second time in five years that the dam has washed away. In August 2001, flood waters washed out the dam down to the original stream line. As a result, the pond completely drained.

When the dam was repaired, steel sheet piling was put in to replace the earthen core that had been there. That sheet piling held in this summer’s flood, Twing said.

But the soil and rocks that were stacked on top of the piling washed away.

Twing said that the state hopes that during December’s repair project , it can put in larger and heavier rocks than were there. But it is restricted by FEMA regulations from using the federal money to upgrade the dam beyond earth and rocks.

“Originally, we wanted to rebuild, put in something stronger,” he said. “But the federal money can only be used to build it back exactly the way it was before the disaster.”

In 2004, the state legislature authorized the establishment of a dam safety program, which was funded in 2005.

As part of that program, Twing’s department will look at all of the about 60 dams in the state and determine what condition they are in. The state will also rate

the dams according to the damage that would result if they broke. The Hearn’s Pond dam is already rated “significant” by the federal government, meaning that if the dam breaks, significant economic, property and environmental damage would occur, but no deaths would result.

In the end, only public dams that are rated with high or significant hazard ratings will be regulated by the state. Twing anticipates that there will be about 40 of those.

Twing said that the dam study will take six to eight months. At its conclusion, his department will rank the dams according to their need for repair. That list, as well as a funding request, will be taken to the state legislature.

Twing refused to speculate how long it could be before the state OK’s money for a dam upgrade project on Hearn’s Pond.

“We just don’t know,” he said.

For your information The HearnsPond Association for its Protection, Preservation, Enhancement and Naturalization (HAPPEN) is planning a meeting to discuss the condition of the dam at the pond.

David Twing, a design engineer with the state’s Division of Soil and Water Conservation, will be there. The meeting is set for Wednesday, Oct. 18, at 7 p.m. at the Seaford Library. The public is invited.

Parking in Bridgeville is off limits to tractor-trailers

By Mike McClure The Bridgeville Commission held a second reading and public hearing regarding a proposed amendment to the town’s Land Use and Development Code relating to restrictions on parking in residential zones for commercial vehicles.

According to Commission President Joe Conaway, the intent of the existing ordinance is to allow pickup trucks and vans on lots in residential area (one per lot), but not tractor trailers. The amendments came before the Commission because of some confusion over the current ordinance as written.

“There’s no intent to take vans and pickup trucks out of residential areas,” said Conaway.

The Commission voted unanimously in favor of the proposed amendments. The Commission may discuss additional changes to the ordinance at its next meeting.

The Commission also voted to approve the appointment of an election board for referendum to borrow $750,000 for upgrades to the town wastewater treatment plant which will take place on Oct. 21 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“This will increase the capacity of our plant and keep it well within the regulations,” Conaway said.

Town manager Bonnie Walls reported that the town’s street curbing should be finished this week. The paving of the streets has already been completed. The project was financially supported by funds secured by Senator Thurman Adams and Representative Ben Ewing.

Conaway announced that the contractors who are working to relocate some of the town’s squirrels is having trouble catching them. As of Monday they caught 25-26 squirrels, two opossums, one cat .

The contractors put traps all around town and check them every day.

The Apple Scrapple Festival opening ceremony will take place on Friday, Oct. 13 at 6 p.m. The festival will take place Oct. 13-14 with the carnival opening on Oct. 12.

The Commission set its celebration of Halloween for Oct. 31 from 6-8 p.m. for children ages 12 and under.

Caroling in the Park will take place on Dec. 1 with Christmas in Bridgeville set for Dec. 2 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Woodbridge High School.

The next Bridgeville Commission meeting will take place on Monday, Nov. 6 at 7 p.m. at town hall. The Commission’s meetings are usually held on the second Monday of each month.

Greenwood VFW collecting food and clothing for needy The Greenwood Memorial VFW Post 7478 Ladies Auxiliary will sponsor a “Make A Difference” event throughout the month of October. Members will be collecting non-perishable food items and household items (cleaners, detergents, paper products) for a local food pantry to distribute to the needy. They will also conduct a drive for the following “new” items to be distributed by the school nurse in a local elementary school: girls’ and boys’ socks and underwear, gloves, mittens, hats, scarves, jackets, sweaters, or sweatshirts.

Items can be delivered to the Ladies Auxiliary in three ways. They can be delivered to representatives of VFW Post

7478 during 9 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Discover Bank in Greenwood, when they have their special Customer Appreciation Saturday event on Oct. 21.

When the bell rings and the school day is done, many youth go straight home to video games, watch TV or just hang out. Not so with the Woodbridge 4H/YMCA Lights On After-School program. They will be cooking - Hawaiian style!

Middle-school youth at Woodbridge’s Phillis Wheatley School will be busy preparing a “Find Out” program. The youth, attending grades 5 through 8, helped to plan a Luau theme and their cooking club will be preparing the refreshments for the event.

Community members, parents, and school administration are invited to visit, see and experience the fun “hands-on” activities and sample the foods prepared by the 4-H youth who participate in the foods project.

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

Lindsay Gooden, program director for the 4-H/YMCA Lights On After-

School program is proud of her young chefs. “Food preparation and food safety is an important life skill for all children to learn,” she said.

Gooden also said that 4-H teaches children how to make good consumer decisions about their food choices. 4-H, in cooperation with Nemours Health and Prevention Services, is raising awareness of the value of nutrition and exercise and is a leading force in an effort to combat childhood obesity.

In addition to refreshments, Gooden said the 4-H/YMCA after-school experience includes such activities as archery, yoga, arts and crafts and much more.

Visitors will be able to watch these classes in session.

The event takes place on Wednesday, Oct. 11, from 3:10 to 6:10 p.m. at the Phillis Wheatley Middle School cafeteria, 48 Church St., Bridgeville.

For more information about this event or other 4-H programs contact Lindsay Gooden at 856-2585, ext. 523.

Education School recognized for environmental studies Sussex Technical High School was recently honored by the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) and presented with the 2006 Delaware Adopt-A-Wetland Volunteer Award at the Department’s annual dinner in Smyrna. The award was given to the school for exceptional stewardship of their schoolyard wetland through wildlife projects, biological surveys and weekly water quality monitoring, and for instilling wetland conservation awareness in Delaware youth.

Back in 1999 when Sussex Tech needed to construct a series of athletic fields, DNREC, through Pat Emory of the Delaware Division of Fish and Wildlife, recognized a chance to create more than a generic storm water retention pond.

Emory’s division set up a design team to come up with an environmental and aquatic education opportunity for Sussex Tech students.

With much planning, technical on-theground assistance from Tom Barthlemeh in the DNREC Drainage Section, and input from Sussex Tech’s own students in the school’s drafting shop helping to design the water control structures, the team

planned a series of wetlands that would imitate many Delaware wetland types — from cypress swamp habitats to emergent and scrub/shrub wetlands. They also created an environmental education center where students could learn about wildlife, water quality and stewardship of their wetlands and the environment.

Under the leadership of Justin Benz, the initial instructor charged with caring for the wetlands, Sussex Tech students worked on wetland vegetation plantings, habitat improvement, and water quality monitoring and clean-up. With help from Mother Nature, the site blossomed into a complex of shallow and deep water habitats and shoreline wetlands. It became a Delaware Adopt-A-Wetland site in January 2000.

For the last several years, the site has flourished under the leadership of Sussex Tech’s Environmental teacher Nancy Goggin. Her students test water quality on a weekly basis, do regular clean-ups and do biological surveys. They recently built and installed bluebird and bat boxes.

Good-for-you carrot can be dressed up to taste good too Will Rogers once said, “Some guy invented Vitamin A out of a carrot. I’ll bet he can’t invent a good meal out of one.” That quip just about sums up the initial prejudice harbored by a little boy in my life for this somewhat unattractive root veggie.

He is now a carrot convert, thanks to a tried and true recipe from my heroine Julia Child that made similar converts out of my own children when they were young.

In an effort to better understand this maligned vegetable, I visited the online carrot “museum” at www.carrotmuseum. co.uk. It is an amusing and informative treasure trove of carrot facts and assorted trivia. Did you know there is a group of musicians who make a living entertaining with flutes made of carrots? That oddity notwithstanding, carrots are serious nutritional superveggies.

Our bodies convert the carotene in them to vitamin A. Raw carrots are rich in potassium and contain vitamins C and B6, thiamine, folic acid and magnesium. But cooked carrots are even more nutritious — an exception to the usual rule. Unless the carrot is juiced and then eat-

The Practical Gourmet en, the body cannot break down the good stuff because of its cellular nature. Cooking frees up the nutrients and it’s actually better to cook them whole before cutting up but we rarely find recipes with that particular direction. Recent research at Tufts University found that the beta-carotene in lightly cooked carrots changes in the human body to a substance called retinoic acid, which is widely used to treat cancers.

Here are Julia’s basic cooked carrot recipe that converted my kids, her glazed variation that’s my personal favorite and a new recipe from Gourmet magazine with a little bit of a kick.

Carrots Braised in Butter Serves 6 1 and 1/2 pounds carrots, peeled and sliced or quartered (about 5 and 1/2 cups) 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, to

County offering scholarship for the best predictions of election winners Students will get their chance to play political pundits this campaign season, as Sussex County is again sponsoring its Election Year Scholarship Contest.

The Sussex County Council announced that for the fourth time since 2000, it will ask local students to venture their best guesses on which candidates will win elected office in the 2006 general election set for Nov. 7.

The student with the most correct predictions will win a $200 scholarship, while five runnersup will each win a $100 scholarship.

The scholarships will be paid upon a student’s enrollment in college or another post-high school educational program.

The county council created the contest for the 2000 election.

Funding this year will come through councilmanic grants, as well as from the Griffin & Hackett law firm.

“This is a novel way to get young people involved in our nation’s democratic process,” said

county finance director David Baker. “This encourages them to look at a number of races in the November election, and then try to forecast, as best they can, who will emerge as the winners in those races. It’s a great civics lesson, but it’s also a chance to have a little fun, too.”

Students 18 and younger who live in Sussex County are eligible to participate. Entrants will be asked to predict the winners of 17 national, statewide and county races; the student with the most correct guesses will win. In case of a tie, entrants will be asked to guess how many total votes the winner will collect in this year’s U.S. Senate race.

Contest winners will be announced once the election results are certified.

Apple-Scrapple Fireworks added to annual Festival

By Lynn R. Parks The festival had scrapple carving and scrapple throwing contests. It had numerous varieties of apples available at the T.S. Smith and Sons packing house.

It had music, craft vendors, a car show and dozens of food booths.

So what could the volunteers with Bridgeville’s Apple-Scrapple Festival add to commemorate its 15th year? How about fireworks?

“This is really exciting,” said Bonnie Workman, who has co-chaired the event every year since its founding. “People like fireworks and I think they will bring a few more people into town for the festival Saturday night.”

This year’s festival will be Friday and Saturday, Oct. 13 and 14. The fireworks, sponsored by the development and build-

ing partners of Heritage Shores, Lennar Homes and Providence of Brookfield Homes, will go off at around 7:30 Saturday evening, on South Cannon Street near the Woodbridge High School football field. The stands at the football field will be open (admission will be free) and the concession stand at the field will be selling food.

Attendance at the festival is expected to be in the tens of thousands, despite a poor showing last year. Rain throughout last year’s festival, from Friday afternoon until Saturday evening, kept many people, including crafters who had arranged to set up booths, home and drenched those brave enough to venture out. By 4 Saturday afternoon, everything was shut down.

“Last year was a disaster,” said Fran Smith, director of the Bridgeville Senior Center. The center sells scrapple sand-

Even so, Smith is optimistic about this year. The center has already arranged with Rapa Scrapple to get 700 pounds of the meat, which will make a little more than 1,700 sandwiches. Rapa donates the scrapple; bread for the sandwiches is donated

by Stroehmanns.

Smith said that the senior center booth will start serving at around 2 Friday afternoon and then at 6 a.m. Saturday. “We sell sandwiches until we run out, usually around 3 Saturday afternoon,� she said.

Why apples and scrapple?

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. 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 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. In 2004, the year before the rains came, about 30,000 people attended the event.

New additions include some fireworks In addition to the fireworks, this year’s additions to the festival include a Little Miss Apple-Scrapple contest. The pageant will be held Thursday evening in the Woodbridge High School auditorium. “We try to do something new every year,� Workman said. “Anything to draw more people in.�

This year’s festival will officially get under way at 4 p.m. Friday. Opening ceremonies will be held at 6 p.m. “Sticky Situation� will play for Friday night’s street dance, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Saturday’s festivities will get under way at 7 a.m. with an all-you-can-eat scrapple breakfast served by the United Methodist Men at the Union United Methodist Church fellowship hall. Booths and other activities will open at 9 a.m.

The 5K Hogg Jogg has been cancelled for this year. But the other traditions of the festival will go on, including the scrapple carving contest, in which participants create works of art from 1-pound blocks of scrapple, and the scrapple chunking, in which the strong and mighty hurl blocks of scrapple through the air, competing for distance. Scrapple carving will be held at Continued on page 22

Label on egg cartons was misleading, AGs say Attorney General Carl C. Danberg announced Sept. 22 that Delaware has joined with 15 states and the District of Columbia in reaching an agreement with United Egg Producers (UEP) to resolve allegations that the trade association misled consumers regarding standards of care for egg-producing hens.

The States investigated UEP’s “Animal Care Certified” logo which appeared on egg cartons to certify compliance with UEP’s hen-care standards.

The attorneys general concluded that the “Animal Care Certified” logo misled consumers as to the quality of UEP’s standards of care, which allowed the forced molting of hens, confinement of birds in crowded wire cages and debeaking of chicks. In November 2005, UEP discontinued its “Animal Care Certified” logo and adopted its current “United Egg Producers Certified” logo.

“Consumers have a right to rely on the plain meaning of a trade association logo that certifies to good corporate conduct,” said Danberg. “A certification program must not be promoted in a way that misleads consumers.”

Under the agreement, UEP agreed not to resume use of the “Animal Care Certified” logo, or to misrepresent the level or type of care given to hens. UEP, which includes 80 percent of egg producers, denied that its logo or advertisements misled or confused consumers.

As a result of the agreement, UEP will pay Delaware $5,000 which will be used to help protect the public against consumer fraud and deceptive trade practices through investigation of such practices, enforcement actions to insure compliance with the law, and consumer education.

but if one’s conscience won’t allow white flour, imagine how it balks at unnecessary chocolate.

At the same time that I was doing this, I was preparing a vegetable cobbler for dinner.

Potatoes, corn, onions, peas and carrots were steaming in one pot, gravy was simmering in another. And in a bowl on the counter was the topping mixture, biscuit-like but softer.

The cobbler was a kind of play-it-by-ear thing, with several pauses along the way to consider whether the end result was going to taste good. At one point, I stopped, stood back and imagined our dinner.

My attention drifted to the banana bread mixture, still sitting on the counter waiting to be put in a pan. Bananas, raisins — cinnamon might be good in that.

I grabbed the cinnamon container from the cupboard and gave it

a liberal shake.

Finally, the best time in dinner preparation arrived, when all there is to do is read a book and enjoy the aromas of something good in the oven. “Yum, I smell cinnamon,” my husband said when he walked in that back door. “That’s a good sign.”

The cobbler, I have to admit, was delicious. Maybe it was the fresh vegetables, maybe it was the really cool iron pot, about 5 inches deep and with very cute handles, that I just bought and that I baked it in. Or maybe it was the topping, with perfect texture and a unique flavor that my husband and I couldn’t place.

“You are the cook,” he said.

“You should know what it is.”

The banana bread was also good — very banana-y; that was that fourth banana — but lacking the zip I thought that my additions to the recipe would add.

“I like the raisins, but I put cinnamon in too and I can’t taste it at all,” I said.

Cinnamon, cinnamon — aha!

That was the mystery flavor in the cobbler. Apparently, my liberal shake of cinnamon had been over the wrong bowl and had flavored the cobbler topping instead of the banana bread.

And that, so it seems, is how great recipes are born. I know that chocolate chip cookies came about by accident; perhaps it was also so with macaroni and cheese — “Oops, the cheese was supposed to go on top of the beef” — and spaghetti and meatballs. Meatballs roll, after all. Maybe the pasta was downhill.

At any rate, from now on it’s cinnamon in my vegetable cobbler. Next time, I’ll know what that wonderful flavor is.

Mortgage late?

Speak up quickly or risk losing your home.

The Lay Witness Mission encourages the formation of small groups that are vital to the ongoing ministry in a local church.

It also uses a model for reaching out to friends, neighbors, relatives, and colleagues and for inviting them into homes for fellowship and discussion. It engages the congregation in prayer ministries that become a vital part of the life of the church.

Held twice before at St. John’s, in 1972 and 1993, both events helped the church move forward in its mission to go deeper spiritually. The public is cordially invited; visitors are expected. Join us for a covered dish meal and fellowship beginning at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 27.

Peggy’s Family Restaurant This October, Peggy’s Family Restaurant in Greenwood will be celebrating its three year anniversary. And 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 thirty-six months. For her third 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 waitstaff 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, pickled beets, 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

OUR SUCCESS BELONGS TO YOU

Julien Benichou, Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra music director, conductor.

Mid-Atlantic Symphony’s opening night at Del Tech The Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra (MSO), celebrating its 10th anniversary season, will perform its opening night concert for Southern Delaware on Saturday, Oct. 7, in the theatre of the Arts & Science Center at Delaware Technical & Community College. The pre-concert presentation will begin at 6:30 p.m., followed by the concert at 7:30 p.m.

Celebrated conductor Julien Benichou returns to the podium for his second season with the MSO. This concert, “Two Classics and a Neo-Classic,” includes works by classical composers Beethoven and Mozart and by Stravinsky who represents the “neo-classic.”

my mode of expression and the most immediate and satisfying way to express myself musically. I also get to play with great musicians and in lovely situations like this one with Maestro Benichou and the wonderful Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra.”

Other selections in the program are the Dumbarton Oaks Concerto by Stravinsky and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4.

The concerts are made possible through the generous support of many individual contributors and the work of the volunteer ambassadors.

From left, Bob Frazier, Schyler Conaway, Becky Gaffney and Dan String rehearse a song from Possum Point Players upcoming musical “Chicago”

‘Chicago’ tickets on sale for Possum Point shows The eagerly anticipated musical “Chicago” will be opening on Oct. 13 at Possum Hall in Georgetown. Time is limited to get tickets for this exciting production.

Director Kenney Workman of Milford is producing the show using a style similar to that of the Broadway revival, “When the revival was produced, it was with a sparse set, with the band on stage, and the main focus was on the acting, singing and dancing,” he recently stated, adding, “The movie-version is full of colorful sets and scenes.” The set in Possums’ production has the more sparse stage. Workman commented, “Those familiar only with the movie may be surprised by the look of our show.”

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

When Roxie Hart is put in prison for murder, she meets the singer-dancer Velma Kelly. The music tells the story of their experiences on death row. Popular songs like “All That Jazz”, “Razzle Dazzle” and “Mister Cellophane” will have audiences humming along. Other songs, like “Cell Block Tango” and “I Can’t Do It Alone,” showcase not only the vocal talents of the cast, but also the strong dancing and choreography.

“We do have trained dancers in the cast,” stated Workman, “but we also have some untrained dancers. I selected my choreographer (Aimee Voshell String, of Seaford) because I had seen her work with the Miss Delaware pageant, and I was confident that Aimee could make people with little dance experience appear on stage as though they were trained dancers.”

The set is complete, and rehearsals are “roaring along” to their culmination on opening night, Oct. 13th. “As the word is getting out about our upcoming ‘Chicago’, our seating is filling up fast,” commented the executive administrator of the players, Mary Cahill. “Musicals are consistently a big attraction, and Chicago is especially

popular.”

Chicago will be presented Oct. 13, 14, 20 and 21 at 8 p.m., and on Oct. 15 and 22 at 2 p.m. Tickets are on sale now and can be obtained by calling the Possum Point Players Ticketline at (302) 8564560. Tickets are $15, or $14 for seniors or students. Possum Point Players is sponsored in part by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Delaware Division of the Arts.

A Gold Mine in Bedroom Drawers

Newswire: People are selling their old scrap gold that is gathering dust for its cash value because gold prices are so high.

ScrapGold.com, a gold recycler, offers free insured recycle kits so people may cash in their scrap with 24 hour service and guarantee satisfaction. They accept

broken and outdated items like chains, charms, rings and more.

"Everyone has bits of gold just lying around which can be turned into cash" says Richard Zakroff, VP of marketing. "Even old dental gold has value." ScrapGold.com processes over 10,000 recycle Kits per month.

to the scene and was assisted by the Laurel and Hebron, Md., Fire Departments. Upon arrival they encountered light smoke.

The building is owned by Wayne Bailey of Delmar. No injuries were reported.

The State Fire Marshal’s Investigators have determined that the fire originated in the ceiling and was caused by the owner using a torch that ignited insulation. The fire caused minor damage to the structure.

Trooper receives minor injuries A trooper assigned to Troop 5 in Bridgeville was injured Wednesday, Sept.

27, when her cruiser was struck from behind. The crash occurred at approximately 2:30 p.m. at the intersection of U.S. Rt. 13 and U.S. Rt. 9.

Trooper Andrea Warfel was traveling south on U.S. Rt 13 attempting to locate a disabled vehicle in the area of the intersection. As Trooper Warfel was approaching the intersection, the traffic light began to turn red. Trooper Warfel came to a stop and observed that the disabled vehicle was in the right southbound lane. Before Trooper Warfel was able to position her cruiser behind the disabled vehicle, a southbound 1991 Ford van operated by Dwight C. Blakeney, 65, of Seaford, failed to stop and struck the rear of the police cruiser.

Trooper Warfel, who was wearing a seatbelt, was treated at Nanticoke Hospital for a contusion to her head and strains to her neck and lower back.

Mr. Blakeney, who was wearing a seatbelt, was not injured in the crash.

The crash remains under investigation.

1,600 cited for Aggressive Driving Since Office of Highway Safety and law enforcement officials launched a statewide crackdown on aggressive drivers in July, officers have issued 1,628 citations for a variety of dangerous traffic offenses.

Included in that number are 242 citations which were issued last weekend during week 8 of the state’s “Stop Aggressive Driving” campaign.

Over the last two months, speeding and making unsafe lane changes were the most frequent violations that drivers were stopped for on Delaware roads. Last weekend, speed was again the top violation, with 196 citations being issued, followed by running stop signs and stop lights which netted another 21 citations.

“There are several challenges in addressing speed as a highway safety issue,” says Tricia Roberts, Director of the Office of Highway Safety. “Primarily it’s a problem of risk perception. Many drivers feel comfortable driving above the posted limits, even when road conditions are less than ideal. Many also fail to understand that their risk of crashing their vehicle goes up as their speeds do, and that when they do crash their injuries will be much more severe. The motoring public needs to remember that speeding can and has shattered lives.”

Since Jan. 1 of this year, aggressive driving behaviors are listed as contributing factors in 50 percent (50) of Delaware’s 100 fatal crashes. Of these crashes, failure of drivers to yield the right of way when turning or merging onto roadways is listed as the most frequent aggressive driving vi-

olation committed followed by speed, passing, and stop sign and red light violations.

The following is a breakdown of the violations found during the first eight weeks of the “Stop Aggressive Driving” campaign’s enforcement: 51 Aggressive Driving, 1,188 speeding, 130 unsafe lane changes, 94 running stop signs and stop lights, 76 passing on the shoulder, 53 following too closely, and 36 failure to yield the right of way. Officers also issued 586 citations to motorists for additional traffic violations including seat belt and child restraint violations and for having no license, and no insurance.

While individual police department’s conduct aggressive driving enforcement year-round, the “Stop Aggressive Driving” campaign is an enhanced, coordinated statewide effort which runs from July through December. In all, nine State and local police agencies with high crash locations in their jurisdictions that are statistically identified as being aggressive driving related, have been provided with federal grant funding to conduct overtime patrols.

State Police utilize ‘Hotdog’ device The Delaware State Police have recently installed devices in police vehicles to enhance the safety of their canine partners.

During the summer of 2006, the Delaware State Police Canine Division researched the potential use of the “Hotdog” device in order to ensure the safety of a canine in the event that the interior of a police vehicle began to overheat. The Hotdog, manufactured by Criminalistics, Inc out of Miami, alerts canine handlers in a variety of manners in the event the interior of a canine vehicle has surpassed a designated temperature.

This technology consists of a control box installed in the patrol vehicles, which is equipped with a temperature probe. In the event the temperature inside of the vehicle rises above the predetermined limit while the handler is away from the patrol vehicle, the device will activate the vehicles horn and roll down the rear windows.

Additionally the device can include a pager system that sends an alert page to the canine handler.

In August of 2006, the Canine Division received 30 Hotdog units inclusive of the pager system for each State Police Canine vehicle. Additionally four portable Hotdog units were obtained for transferable use in Special Unit vehicles when a canine is on board.

MORNING STAR ✳ OCTOBER 5 - 11, 2006 The State Police Canine fleet is currently comprised of 24 Troopers assigned to uniformed patrol at various Troops throughout the State. Additionally, there are 6 special unit Troopers, who have canines to support the mission within those units. Those special units Troopers who have canine partners include: two Canine Trainers, one School Resource Officer, one Governors Task Force Officer, one Drug Unit Officer and one Motor Carrier Safety Unit Officer.

Seaford Cross Country teams split meet at Chapel Branch

By Gene Bleile The boys’ and girls’ cross country teams both turned in a solid performance on Wednesday, Sept. 27 against Milford and Polytech in a rare home meet. Both teams split against Henlopen Conference opponents defeating Polytech, but lost to powerhouse Milford.

The Jays’ Barrett Smith turned in a personal and seasonal best time of 18:25 leading all runners across the finish line.

Lindsay James paced the girls’ team turning in a course best time of 23:15. The Seaford boys defeated Poly with a score of 17-46 (lowest score wins), while the girls also turned a great score of 15-50.

However, both teams lost to Milford in close battles, with the Jays turning in a score of 32 and the Bucs recording a 27.

The girl’s score was 36 for Seaford and 22 for Milford.

Coach Vince Morris was pleased with both teams’ performance. “We lost a heartbreaker to a deep Milford squad.

Barrett Smith was the overall meet winner, while Rob Urell, Andrew Hoffman, Garrett Eskridge and Spencer Noel rounded out the scoring for us,” he added.

He was also impressed with upcoming runners, Kirk Neal, Matt Seaton, Dan Flagg, Eliezer Dorelus and Korey Hearn.

“All posted personal record times,” he stressed.

The Lady Jays turned in another solid day at the Nature Trail meet. “While the score didn’t show it against Milford, the

girls mixed it up, ran hard and were very competitive,” Morris said. “Seaford was paced by Lindsay James with Page Johnson, Tyler Smith (season best and course best time), Brittany Wilson (course best time) and Margaret Rohlich rounded out the top five. Jessica Hill and Andrea Thomas all turned in season best performances,” he concluded.

Meet times: Boys: Barrett Smith, 18:25; Rob Urell, 19:09; Andrew Hoffman, 19:25; Garrett Eskridge, 20:31; Spencer Noel, 20:36; Lee Mayer, 20:53; Kyle Webber, 21:16; Kirk Neal, 21:27; Matt Seaton, 22:44; Dan Flagg, 22:49, Eliezer Dorelus, 22:58, Korey Hearn, 23:58.

Lady Jays come from behind to defeat Lake Forest, 2-1

By Gene Bleile The Seaford hockey team added two more wins last week over Polytech and Lake Forest to move their conference record to 2-1-1. The Jays started the week with Polytech on Tuesday and looked impressive with good passing and stick work on offense and defense. “They went to the ball, were aggressive and passed well,” coach Robin Verdery said after the game. Poly put up a battle in the first period, until the ninth minute, when the Jays’ Kelsey Riggleman put Seaford ahead with her first score of the day. Just before the half, Ali Dunn took a pass from Riggleman and scored her first career goal as a Blue Jay. “I was as excited

for her, as she was,” Verdery stressed.

Nine minutes into the second period, Riggleman scored her second goal of the day to ice the game for the Jays. “Kelsey hustles on offense and defense all game, she stole the ball on defense, pushed it up on offense and scored,” Verdery emphasized. Goalies Leah Bowman and Erin Taylor split time in goal for Seaford and recorded six saves.

On Thursday, the Jays had to struggle and come from behind in the second half to defeat Lake Forest in a crucial Henlopen South match. The Lady Jays thought they had a goal early in the game, but one ref called it back, saying it hit of Continued on page 49

Blue Jays football team loses to Archmere Academy, 41-0

By Gene Bleile For the second week in a row, Seaford lost at home to a tough upstate powerhouse team, Archmere Academy, 41-0. The Jays never really got things on track against a “senior dominated team that was big and well coached,” coach Mark Dickerson said after the game.

Seaford only managed 158 total yards for the night, while Archmere rolled up 467 total yards. “They had a good pass defense and were very disciplined overall all night on offense and defense,” Dickerson added. That defense, not only shut down the running game, but also Jays’ quarterback, Spencer Coulbourn, who was 0-7 and no yards passing for the evening.

Archmere took the lead in the first quarter at 20-0, on two rushing touchdowns and a passing score, then went to the half leading 34-0 and scored one more time in the third to bring the Jays record to 1-3 overall.

Seaford’s My’Keal Purnell did run for 92 yards and teammate Trevor Polk added another 56 on the ground. Seaford was frustrated in a game that was basically three plays and out all night.

Seaford running back My’Keal Pur“I told the kids at half time that we must nell ran for 92 yards in last week’s stand together and learn from each play and move on,” Dickerson said.

The Jays finished their upstate non-conference run with a record of 1-3, beating Dickinson and losing to The Charter School of Wilmington, Howard and Archmere.

Now they begin their conference portion of the season, starting with Delmar at home on Friday, Oct. 6, followed by Seaford’s homecoming against Lake Forest on Oct. 13.

Seaford hockey continued a Seaford player’s foot first, before going into the cage. The Spartans and Jays then fought a defensive battle until 17:52 on the clock, when Lake scored to close out the half at 1-0.

“We dominated play for most of the first half, but couldn’t get a break, we even missed a penalty stroke,” a frustrated coach Verdery said. Verdery stressed to her team at half time that this was a crucial game and a must win. “They beat us at the Polytech play day and again at our play day, but I asked the girls, who want-

ed it more.”

Early in the second half, Riggleman knotted the score at 1-1 and the Jays started their comeback. “The game got real aggressive in the second half,” Verdery emphasized. “And we scored on a penalty corner to take a 2-1 lead.” Kari Bergh scored the goal on an assist by Riggleman.

Seaford finished the game with 12 shots, while Lake Forest recorded five shots. The Seaford goalies, Erin Taylor and Leah Bowman recorded four saves.

The Lady Jays move to 3-3-1, 2-1-1.

BETWEEN THE LINES

By Gene Bleile, Seaford Sports

Seaford’s Derrik Gibson moves to the next level The Seaford High baseball program has produced many fine athletes in the past 25 years that have gone on to play in the major leagues, minor leagues or had outstanding college careers.

Included in that time period and worth mentioning again are the following players: Darrell Tingle, minor league, New York Yankees; Warren McGee, minor league, Philadelphia Phillies; Marcus Tramell, minor league, Chicago White Sox; Stoney Briggs, minor league, San Diego Padres; Matt Phillips, minor league, Boston Red Sox; Mike Riley, minor league, San Francisco Giants and two Major League players, Mike Neal, Oakland Athletics ( 2000 Olympic Baseball Gold Medal winner) and Delino Deshields, who started his career with the Montreal Expos. Two other former standout Blue Jay players, that just completed outstanding careers at Salisbury University, are Nick Dunk, pitcher and Nick Pegelow, first baseman.

The Seaford baseball program has another outstanding player coming up through the ranks and he has quietly made his mark not only in Delaware, but also all over the East Coast. This past spring, Derrik Gibson completed his sophomore year at Seaford High School where he batted .426 for the Blue Jays baseball team and was also selected as an All-State Shortstop. In June, he participated in the Carpenter Cup baseball game and was starting shortstop for the Delaware South Team.

Since 2001, he has been a member of the Delmarva Shorebirds Youth Travel Team and this past summer finished with a .553 batting average. He played in the USSSA Super Regional tournament in Nashville, Tenn., the “Perfect Game” showcase tournament in Richmond, Va. and the USSSA 16 and under World Series, in Orlando, Fla. In August, he played in the “Battle on the Ship,” which is a Mid-Atlantic High School Baseball Classic held in College Park, Md. Out of 300 players, he was chosen for the “North Team” and also won the fastest runner award in the 60yard dash. He next started at shortstop

Seaford’s Derrik Gibson for Team Maryland in the “Blue-Grey” Classic at Coastal Carolina University in Conway, S.C. Most recently, Derrik as been selected, by invitation only, to play for the Maryland Orioles (“Oriolelanders”) prospect team, where he currently has a batting average of over .500. A representative of the Major League Baltimore Orioles coaches the “Oriolelanders” and this team plays other Major League prospect teams, such as the Pittsburgh Pirates and the New York Yankees. This league is also a recruiting area for Division 1 Colleges, such as the University of Alabama, Louisiana State University, University of Maryland, Georgia Tech, University of Tennessee, George Mason University and Coastal Carolina University, all of which are interested in recruiting Gibson.

I had the pleasure of teaching elementary physical education to Derrik years ago in Seaford and also watching him grow and progress up the baseball ladder.

As one of his former teachers, I want to remind him to continue to “hit the books” in high school as hard as he hits the ball on the diamond.

Derrik is the son of Ben and Sharon Parker, who reside in Seaford.

Blue Jays bolt from Smyrna leading 2-1 before halftime

By Gene Bleile The Seaford Blue Jays’ soccer team had to leave Smyrna before the end of the first half last Thursday night leading 2-1, after a long delay for lightning and immanent bad weather. The Eagles own lightning strike came with only nine seconds into the game, when they took the opening kickoff and dribbled down the field and scored for a 1-0 lead.

Seaford’s Trevor Lee added his own lightning strike with a score at the threeminute mark and again at the eight-minute mark in the first half. That ended the scoring for the night, as bad weather threatened both teams.

“We saw lightning in the sky to start the game and near the end of the first half we cleared the field and sat on our bus,” coach Tim Lee said. “After a call to the Dover Air Base weather station, the refs decided to call the game for player safety.” The game will be rescheduled for a later time.

On Tuesday, Sept. 26, the Jays added another conference win with a solid performance against Polytech, 6-3. The Jays’ Trevor Lee scored in the first 23 seconds of the game and gave Seaford what coach

Tim Lee called, “an early confidence builder that helped us settle down and get into the game quickly.”

Tim Halter added another score at the 39 minute mark on a penalty kick, but Polytech answered back less than a minute later to make it 3-1 at the half.

The Jays dominated play throughout the game and forced Polytech into numerous turnovers. Polytech’s best player was a Brazilian exchange student, named Juan Cardenas, who was shut down by Seaford’s Zachary Schofer, during the entire first half.

At the beginning of the second half, the Jays’ Lee, with an assist from Abraham Cruz, scored to make it 4-1. Then five minutes later, Paul Widerman nailed one into the goal from outside the 18-yard line and Seaford took a commanding lead at 51.

Polytech’s Cardenas was able to score twice late in the game, but the Jays had iced the game with their final goal by Cruz. Andrew Halter had five saves for Seaford. The Blue Jays move to 5-1-1 overall and 3-0-1 in conference.

The game against Smyrna has been rescheduled for Monday, Oct. 9 at 6:30 p.m. (varsity only).

I found myself in the middle of a stampede of Wildcats last Friday night.

Delmar won the annual Lions Bowl game between Laurel and Delmar and following the presentation of the trophy I sensed danger, kind of the calm before the storm.

I had just taken a couple pictures of the football team with the trophy when I looked up and saw the Delmar coaches huddling.

That couldn’t be a good thing. All of a sudden coach David Hearn points to the home stands and all you know what broke loose.

You see I was standing between the pack of Cats and the stands. So this large group of players in football equipment came storming toward me. The first group of players darting in my direction parted and I suddenly felt like Moses (not Malone).

However, the kids in the back couldn’t see over the kids in the front so there was a brief collision between one of the players and myself. Luckily neither one of us took a tumble and all was OK. The Wildcats have adopted a new tradition in which they do the “Lambeau Leap,” made famous by the Green Bay Packers, to show their appreciation for their fans’ support following home wins.

Support your teams- That brings me to my soapbox. Far be it for me to tell somebody what to say and what not to say, but it is a little disappointing when I hear crowd members yell negative things at their players, coaches, or teams.

It’s one thing to yell at the refs when they make a bad call. Most crowds only tell when refs make a very apparent bad call.

It’s a whole other thing to yell negative things at your own team. This isn’t the pros, these are kids out there. They need positive support.

The teams appreciate and very much need their fans out at all their games cheering them on. They do not need negativety when they are not doing well.

We have some of the best coaches in the state, school for school and sport for sport. What they do at these small schools, both in terms of winning and in teaching kids about life, is amazing.

They are not going to hear your brilliant comments made in the heat of the moment and say “why didn’t I think of that?.”

Bottom line, come on out and support all of your local sports teams, in a positive manner. Otherwise, go to the other team’s side or better yet, stay home.

Destructive red fire ants found in Sussex County Dr. Faith Kuehn, Delaware Department of Agriculture (DDA) Plant Industries Administrator, confirmed Monday that red imported fire ant, (Solenopsis invicta), a harmful insect pest, has been positively identified in plant material in Rehoboth Beach on three different occasions this year and once last year.

Following eradication efforts, last year’s infestation and this year’s first two infestations have had no recurrence. The third infestation is currently undergoing eradication procedures overseen by the DDA Plant Industries staff in cooperation with the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Plant Protection and Quarantine Unit.

Prevention of fire ant infestation requires a cooperative effort by consumers, sellers of plant materials, nurseries, and regulatory agencies such as DDA and APHIS.

• Consumers are asked to inquire about the origin of any plant material when purchasing it. They should inspect any purchased plant material that comes from quarantined states for small, aggressive, red stinging ants. Anyone finding a suspicious ant should call 800-282-8685.

• Consumers who travel in quarantined states should not purchase plant material or take plant material from friends or relatives that has not been properly inspected before bringing it back to Delaware.

• Nurseries and other plant establishments in Delaware should check each shipment of plant material received from the southeastern United States for the appropriate credentials and inspection certificates.

Delaware Law requires that each shipment of nursery stock be accompanied by a Certificate of Inspection from the state of origin. In addition, those states who are

Habitat for Humanity’s Cars for Homes program (and Boats, too) Your vehicles can gain new life by helping build Habitat for Habitat homes – donate your tax-deductible used car, truck, boat, motorcycle or RV to a worthy cause.

“Vehicles that may not mean a lot to you can make a difference in the lives of families in need by steering more low-income families toward affordable homeownership opportunities,” said Sussex County Habitat for Humanity’s executive director Kevin Gilmore.

Donated cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles, RVs and other vehicles are sold and the funds raised help build simple, decent homes in partnership with low-income families. Donors receive an acknowledgement letter for their vehicle donation they may use for tax purposes if they itemize deductions. Vehicle, title and contact information is collected, and upon acceptance of the vehicle, arrangements are made for the ve-

hicle, keys and title to be picked up.

“The Cars for Homes program provides a great opportunity to donate a vehicle as an additional way to help families in your community who are living in substandard conditions and simply need a hand up, not a hand out,” said Barry Kurland, general manager of Habitat for Humanity International’s Cars for Homes program.

Funds generated from vehicle sales benefit the local Habitat for Humanity affiliate and community where the donation is made unless the donor designates another Habitat affiliate.

For information on how you can help build affordable housing and potentially qualify for tax benefits for your vehicle donation, call Habitat for Humanity Cars for Homes at 1-877-277-4344 toll free, or visit www.carsforhomes. org.

part of a federal quarantine must have an additional certificate or stamp attached.

The current quarantined states are Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida. To date, the majority of plant material found in Delaware and Maryland with fire ant infestations has been from Florida.

The 1998 fire ant infestation in Bear was caused by plant material brought into Delaware from South Carolina by a consumer who visited the area.

The threat Imported fire ant (IFA) infestations cause significant loss in U.S. agriculture and are a human health hazard.

IFA attacks have been documented as causing low weight gain, deformity, and death in pigs, calves, sheep, quail, deer, and other wildlife. Young and newborn animals are especially susceptible. These ants will girdle young trees and feed on

the buds and fruits of crop plants especially corn, soybeans, okra, and citrus.

Large nests located in fields interfere with and damage equipment during cultivation and harvesting, while ant attacks and possible allergic reactions inhibit field worker activities.

Not all ants are fire ants. Red imported fire ants are small (3-6 mm in length) and red to reddish brown in color. They build mounds that may reach 18 inches high and spread 3 feet across. Unlike ant hills, the mounds have no visible external opening.

Care should be taken when examining a suspected mound. When the nest is disturbed, the fire ants swarm out of the mounds, covering and attacking the enemy. Their sting is very painful.

The venom from multiple stings may cause a variety of symptoms: nausea, dizziness, and even death.

Fire ants may over winter in this area.

Survey shows most support hunting and fishing rights A new nationwide survey of Americans 18-years old and older shows that a strong majority of Americans support hunting and fishing, according to the results of a recent survey by Responsive Management, a Virginia-based public opinion polling and research firm that specializes in natural resources and environmental issues.

The survey found that support for hunting and fishing has remained strong over the past decade with approximately every 3 out of 4 Americans approving of legal hunting and more than 9 out of 10 approving of recreational fishing.

Pat Emory, director of the Delaware Division of Fish and Wildlife, said it is great to see a nationwide survey that reflects the trend Delaware has experienced for many years: overwhelming public support for hunting and fishing. He also noted the vital role sportsmen play in supporting and funding conservation efforts in the First State.

“The license sales and excise tax on hunting and fishing gear have funded in large part many of our land acquisitions, boat access areas and their management.

“The benefits for non-consumptive uses such as bird watching, hiking and outdoor recreation have also been greatly enhanced through the contributions of the hunting and fishing community.

“Without hunting and fishing dollars Delaware’s landscape and recreational opportunities would be drastically different. I know with the public support of Delawareans for the age old traditions of hunting and fishing, the Division of Fish and Wildlife will be able to continue to protect habitat, enhance recreational opportunities and preserve open space for generations to come,” Emory said.

According to Mark Damian Duda, ex-

ecutive director of Responsive Management, “We have been seeing public support for hunting increase in several states where we had data, but this is the first nationwide study where we could verify that public support has increased over the past decade. In 1995, 73 percent of Americans approved of hunting while in 2006, 78 percent approved of hunting. Support for fishing nationwide, as well as in numerous states where we have conducted studies, remains very high.” Although approval of fishing has decreased slightly, dropping 1.7 percentage points from 95 percent in 1995 to 93.3 percent in 2006, most Americans approve of recreational fishing, he added.

As Americans become more knowledgeable about the role of hunting and fishing in conservation and wildlife management, coupled with a visible increase in deer in urban areas and the need to actively manage their populations, Responsive Management’s research demonstrates the public’s continued support for these activities.

According to a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service survey, hunting and fishing have a major impact on the U.S. economy, with sportsmen and women spending more than $70 billion on their sports - and those dollars in turn provide tremendous support for fish and wildlife conservation nationwide, as well as in Delaware.

The results of the Responsive Management survey reflect the opinions of randomly selected U.S. adult residents based on a scientific telephone survey of 813 Americans conducted from Aug. 31 to Sept. 9, 2006. The sampling error is 3.44 percentage points.

E-Z Pass transponders now available at all DMV offices The Department of Transportation (DelDOT), Delaware E-ZPass, and the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) announce the expansion of the “E-ZPass On The Go” services to all four DMV offices in the state.

The new sales opportunity began on Monday, Sept. 11, offering customers at any DMV office the opportunity to purchase a Delaware E-ZPass transponder.

Delaware residents now have the ability to purchase an E-ZPass transponder packet at a cost of $35, which includes the $25 transponder fee along with $10 in prepaid tolls. Once purchased, customers call the toll free hotline at 1-888-397-2773 within 24 hours of the purchase to register their account.

“DelDOT has proudly been in the forefront of promoting the advantages of the E-ZPass toll collecting system,” transportation secretary Carolann Wicks stated.

“Nearly three years ago we established our own Delaware-based E-ZPass Customer Service Center where customers can call 24 hours a day, seven days a week and have their needs addressed promptly, courteously, and efficiently. Now with the expansion of our services to the DMV, our

customers will find it easier and more convenient to enroll in the benefits of electronic toll collection.”

The local motor vehicle office in Sussex County is on South Bedford Street Extended, Georgetown, DE 19947.

Town of Blades Hydrant Flushing The Town of Blades is required to flush all fire hydrants within the town limits to determine flow and pressure.

The Blades Water Department will be flushing hydrants the week of Oct. 16.

Once the fire hydrants are flushed, dirty water may be seen when first turning on faucets. To correct this, turn on cold water faucet and let water run until clear water appears. This takes usually two to three minutes, depending on the length of pipe from the water main.

All questions should be directed to Brandon Slater, at 629-8316.

The silent auction will feature a variety of items and many unique Republican items, the most unusual of which are Frankoma political mugs. John Frank first designed a 5-ounce elephant mug as a fund raiser for the National Republican Women’s Club in 1968. The mug was added to the production line the following year and has become a collector series.

The event is sponsored by Sharlana Edgell and the Seaford Republican Women’s Club. The cost is $40 per person. Checks should be made payable to Jan Ting for U.S. Senate.

Reservations may be made by calling at 629-7123 or by mailing checks to 24320 Greenbriar Lane, Seaford, DE 19973.

The mere size of those combines impressed me to no end and talking to Darwin and Phil Hudson, Joel Wharton and son Kolin and Marvin Hitchens made my morning more enjoyable. Darwin’s dad, Charles, around 1938 had one of the first corn harvesters in the area and back then, if they were lucky, it picked up maybe one third of the corn. The old farm stories were flowing. Marvin told us he came across a 1938 Farm Journal magazine recently. There was an ad in there to do custom plowing for $2 an acre. Times have changed, haven’t they? This small group

Health Hospital data is now on-line for comparison

By Dr. Anthony Policastro The age of computers has created a lot of data on-line. That is true for non-medical data. It is also true for medical data.

For a few years now, hospitals around the country have been submitting data to a national medical data bank.

The information has been compiled.

The numbers are available for viewing on line. The website allows individuals to look at their local hospitals. It allows them to compare their local hospitals to other hospitals in the county. It allows them to compare local hospitals to other hospitals in the state.

The website is www.hospitalcompare. hhs.gov. This site has information on four types of medical treatment.

One of those is treatment for heart attacks or MI. The information shows how often hospitals use aspirin for these patients. It shows how often these patients are told to quit smoking. It looks at how often these patients receive other suggested drugs.

A second one of those is heart failure.

The website will let patients see how well the hospital they have chosen performs against national and state standards.

Again there is information on drugs that are used. There is information on smoking cessation. There is information on giving patients instructions about their condition.

A third one of those is pneumonia. The information includes choice of the correct antibiotic. It includes getting the antibiotic in a timely fashion. It includes giving appropriate vaccines for patients with pneumonia.

The fourth one is about using antibiotics to prevent infections during surgery.

It includes the choice of antibiotics. It also includes the timing of giving the antibiotics.

Those are the only four conditions that are currently being looked at. The infor-

mation has been submitted to the website for quite some time.

There will be other items included in the future, but this information is all available right now. In most cases, it will let patients see how well the hospital they have chosen performs against national and state standards.

There are a couple of things about the data that require some explanation. The first of those is related to documentation in the medical record. In order to report that something has been done, it must appear in the medical record. If it is not found in the record, it does not count as having been done.

So someone might have told a heart attack patient to quit smoking. However, if it were not documented, it would look like it was not done.

A good example of this is the discharge instructions for patients with heart failure.

The written instructions must include five items. These are things like diet or weight gain.

If any one of the five items is missing, then it is recorded as not being done at all.

Even if a hospital consistently does four out of five, the numbers might still be very low.

The second item has to do with the small number of patients in some of the smaller hospitals. They may not have enough patients with the four diagnoses for the numbers to be included on the graphs.

However, if you click on the portion of the graph for that particular hospital, you will see the actual small numbers.

For example, a hospital may have done the right thing for 6 out of 6 patients. That information will be there. However, 6 patients may be so few that it does not show up on the graph.

It is important to be an informed user of medical services. Everyone with a computer should think about spending some time comparing the hospital they use most frequently with some of the neighboring hospitals. It is likely that you will be pleasantly surprised.

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

Health Bulletins Nanticoke announces Leadership honorees Nanticoke Health Services recently announced the recipients of the 2nd Annual Nanticoke Tributes for Healthcare Leadership. The awards will be presented at a dinner and reception on Nov. 2 at the Baywood Greens.

The Founders Award will be presented to Karl Brown, Sr. for his role in the establishment of Nanticoke Memorial Hospital in 1952. This award will be presented posthumously to his family.

The Charles C. Allen, Jr. Philanthropy Award is being awarded to The Auxiliary of Nanticoke Health Services.

The Nanticoke Tributes will also recognize the two new inductees into the Nanticoke Physicians Hall of Fame. This year, Judith Tobin, MD and John Lynch, MD will be presented with the Hall of Fame Award.

The dinner will be from 6 to 9 p.m. at Baywood Greens in Long Neck. Mitzi Perdue will be the guest speaker. Tickets are $75 and may be purchased by calling 629-6611, ext. 2404.

CNA Recognition Day Certified nurses’ assistants (CNAs) from Delaware and the Eastern Shore of Maryland will gather at Delaware Technical & Community College, Owens Campus, on Oct. 20, from 8 a.m. to 3:15 p.m., for the 10th annual CNA Recognition Day. This event also will honor the recipi-

ent of the 2006 CNA of the Year Award. The winner is selected from nominations submitted by employers, patients, family, and friends.

“Nurses’ Assistants: Hearts Guiding Hands that Care” is the theme for this year’s celebration which will offer CNAs an opportunity to improve their professional skills, develop their professional identity, and increase their sense of pride and self-esteem.

Co-sponsored with local hospitals, long-term care facilities, and home health agencies, the event includes workshops, exhibits, and networking opportunities. The program offers 5.4 nursing contact hours from Delaware Tech in compliance with the Delaware Board of Nursing Rules and Regulations.

Patricia Hildebrand, RN, who began her career as a nurses’ assistant and graduated from Delaware Technical & Community College, is the keynote speaker. Using her experience as a CNA and as a supervisor and trainer of others in that position, she developed and implemented a state-approved nurses’ assistant training course and taught both classroom and clinical sections.

✳ OCTOBER 5 - 11, 2006

Letters Lower Delaware should be preserved as a quiet place Lower Delaware. “What a great place to live!”

This is how I describe my home town of Laurel when I travel the country in my business.

But now when asked where I call home I express my fears of what my home town of Laurel, Del., might become. Another overgrown, over developed, over commercialized small town.

In 1986 my husband and I bought three acres in the country with our dream of building our home where we would raise our daughter on our small horse farm, where we would stay and someday enjoy our grandchildren and share our joy of horses with them too as we did with our daughter.

The proposed Horsey site directly in front of our home will destroy our beautiful view of our horses from our front window to one of ball field lights, four-story (or more) parking garages, retail malls, traffic and a potential hazardous propane tank farm.

If someone asks for directions to my home will I have to say, “Oh it’s the house by the propane tank farm” instead of de-

scribing it as the “horse farm.” I have lived here since 1986 with the beautiful view of a horse or two in the front pasture and with a backdrop of snow geese across the field like a flowing sea of white beauty every year.

I may have to call somewhere else home someday if the beauty of my neighborhood is ruined. It seems the town of Laurel has no concern for the beauty and way of life that the area gives so many residents in the area. This is why many who live here and call it home.

We love our life in this little part of Lower Delaware. To change this area with such growth is like waiting for an eviction notice.

My idea of a “Horsey Site” is the one I currently have, a four legged one. Not a four-story one.

I have always taken pride in answering the question, “Where do you call home?”

I only hope I can always say, “Lower Delaware, in a beautiful town called Laurel.”

Sylvia Brohawn Laurel

Laurel town charter gives the council too much power According to the town charter posted

on Laurel’s Web site, the town council has some surprising governing powers. Under Enumeration of Powers, section 30, paragraph a(1), the council is responsible for preventing “vice, drunkenness, and immorality.”

Paragraph a(6) invests the council with the power “to regulate or control the observance of the Sabbath Day.” In paragraph a(26) the council is tasked with regulating or preventing the use of “bean shooters” (among other more deadly weapons).

Perhaps the town charter should be reviewed and amended to eliminate these and any other relics of Laurel’s provincial past, particularly any statements involving freedom of religion and morals.

Kiwanis auction on Oct. 7 will feature a van, toys, furniture The Kiwanis Auction is this weekend.

The items we will have for sale are literally “rolling in.” One that has rolled in is a Plymouth Voyager mini van, which is now at the Kiwanis Park.

We have received many other items so

far, and more arrive every day. Some of the items we have received include toys, furniture, lawn care service, gift certificates, a telescope, and even autographed pictures from professional athletes.

The Kiwanis Auction will take place at the Seaford Middle School on Saturday, Oct. 7. Auction preview begins at 9 a.m.

Yes, the admission is free!

We will have refreshments available, and even a cash door prize.

If you have something that you would like to donate to the auction, call one of your friends who is a member of the Kiwanis.

If you are not sure who to call, then please call me at 628-2828. We will make arrangements to pick up your donations.

Some ask if it is OK to give money instead of an item to auction. Yes! In fact, we have already received over $500 in checks.

We want to keep the ball rolling, and to see how much we can raise at this year’s auction. Thanks for your continued support. Your help is making a difference.

Frank Raskauskas Fund Raising Chairman Kiwanis Club Seaford

United Way sets goal for this year at $21.5 million

Michael Swan of Wells Fargo and Dr. Joseph Kim present Nanticoke vice president Tom Brown a donation to the hospital. Real estate agent Nancy Price and Gordon Ramey of Tull/Ramey facilitated the new home purchase.

Doctor’s mortgage company chips in $300 to Nanticoke Nanticoke Hospital received a double bonus when Dr. Joseph Kim moved to the area. Nanticoke had a new family practice physician in Laurel and a donation of $300 from Wells Fargo Home Mortgage.

Through his agent Nancy Price of Tull/Ramey Realtors, Kim learned of the Wells Fargo Home Mortgage Sharing Advantage program.

Borrowers who purchase or refinance a

home can direct Wells Fargo Home Mortgage to make a contribution to the nonprofit organization of their choice.

According to Michael Swan, Wells Fargo Home Mortgage Consultant, “This program provides ways for Wells Fargo to improve the quality of life for consumers and their community. This program is available for purchased or refinanced new homes.”

United Way of Delaware has launched its 2006 fundraising campaign with a goal of $21.5 million. The state’s largest nonprofit fundraising organization reported that early commitments to the campaign have already raised nearly $5 million of that goal.

The 2006 Campaign is being led by Co-Chairs John and Cathy Burris of The Burris Firm LLP. “With nearly 25 percent of our goal already in hand, Delaware’s 2006 United Way campaign is off to a terrific start,” said Mr. Burris. “But we’ve only just begun,” added Mrs. Burris.

“With the energy and commitment of campaign volunteers and the compassion and generosity of the people and corporations of Delaware, we believe United Way of Delaware can put this year’s campaign over the top,” she added.

The Burrises criss-crossed the state today to host campaign kickoff events at United Way member agencies in Sussex, Kent, and New Castle counties. “The energy we felt at these events is the same energy that thousands of Delawareans will experience at campaign events in their workplaces or at other fundraising events over the next three months. We strongly encourage everyone to participate and to become part of the excitement of the 2006 United Way campaign,” said Burris.

“One of the great things about giving through United Way is that, no matter the size of your donation, you can be confident that it will be combined effectively with donations from thousands of others to create a powerful impact in our state,” said Mrs. Burris. “Many social service

agencies rely on the success of each year’s campaign to continue the work that benefits us all,” she added.

United Way leaders are stressing the importance of designating all or a portion of every donor’s 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, including those that address basic needs (such as food and shelter), children and youth issues like education and child abuse, senior care and assistance for persons with disabilities, prenatal care for expectant mothers, and much more.

“Supporting the Community Impact Fund is the most effective way for Delawareans to do the most good for the most agencies with a single donation,” said United Way of Delaware president, Drew Langloh. Langloh added, “United Way wants Delawareans to know that we have listened to their ideas about where United Way should be focusing its support in the years ahead. As a result, United Way of Delaware is unveiling some unique investment opportunities this year to allow donors to target their gifts to the issues they care about most through the Community Impact Fund.”

The 2006 Campaign will run through the end of December. For more information or to make a pledge, contact United Way of Delaware at (302) 573-3700 or visit the Web site www.uwde.org.

Opinion Have fun while helping others

Guest Opinion Don’t be taken in by this trick The following was forwarded to us from a woman identifying herself as Sheila Fields. Her name and address are not as important as the message. Share this article with your loved ones. There are some real threats in the world today and you can reduce your chances of becoming a victim.

Criminals are coming up with craftier, less threatening methods of attack, so we have to be extra cautious. I live in Alexandria, VA, but I often work in Lafayette, LA, staying with friends when I’m there. As you know from America’s Most Wanted TV program, as well as the news media, there is a serial killer in the Lafayette area. I just want to let you know about an “incident” that happened to me a few weeks ago, and could have been deadly.

At first I didn’t go to the police or anyone with it because I didn’t realize how serious this encounter was. But since I work in a jail and I told a few people about it, it wasn’t long before I was paraded into Internal Affairs to tell them my story. It was approximately 5:15 a.m. in Opelousas, La. I had stayed with a friend there and was on my way to work.

I stopped at the Exxon/Blimpie Pie station to get gas. I got $10 in gas and a Diet Coke. I took into the store two $5 bills and one $1 bill (just enough to get my stuff). As I pulled away from the store, a man approached my truck from the back side of the store (an unlit area). He was an “approachable-looking” man (clean cut, clean shaven, dressed well, etc.).

He walked up to my window and knocked. Since I’m very paranoid and “always looking for the rapist or killer,” I didn’t open the window. I just asked what he wanted. He raised a $5 bill to my window and said, “You dropped this.” Since I knew I had gone into the store with a certain amount of money, I knew I didn’t drop it.

When I told him it wasn’t mine, he began hitting the window and door, screaming at me to open my door, and insisting that I had dropped the money. At that point, I just drove away as fast as I could. After talking to the Internal Affairs Department and describing the man I saw, and the way he escalated from calm and polite to angry and volatile, it was determined that I could have possibly encountered the serial killer myself.

Up to this point, it had been unclear as to how he had gained access to his victims, since there has been no evidence of forced entry into victim’s homes, cars, etc. And the fact that he has been attacking in the daytime, when women are less likely to have their guard up, means he is pretty bold.

So think about it... what gesture is nicer than returning money to someone that dropped it? How many times would you have opened your window (or door) to get your money and say thank you... because if the person is kind enough to return something to you, then he can’t really be a threat... can he?

This might not have been the serial killer but anyone that gets that angry over someone not accepting money from them can’t have honorable intentions. His reaction was not what I expected. What might have happened if I had opened my door? I shudder to think.

Last week I used this space to talk about St. John’s House Tour, silent auction and luncheon. That event, by the way, is going on right now if you bought this paper early Thursday on the newsstand, or if you are one of the lucky ones to get early mail delivery if you subscribe.

The House Tour runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Cost is $10 per person. Tickets may be bought at the church.

This week I’d like to use this space to mention three important weekend events that you will enjoy and at the same time will be able to help others.

The first is the Seaford Kiwanis Auction this Saturday, Oct. 7, at the Seaford Middle School. More than 400 businesses contribute to this event. Auction items include furniture and cars and other big-ticket items on consignment. Preview is at 9 a.m. Auction starts at 9:30 a.m.

There is free admission and refreshments are available.

Kiwanian Frank Raskauskas says that the auction is not just for individuals, but for civic organizations and businesses, too. For example Money Mailer contributed an advertising certificate worth more than $600.

Another gift that is noteworthy is a certificate for $1,000 worth of lawn care from R&L Irrigation Services. Cars for the auction are on display at the Kiwanis Park along Stein Highway.

Money raised during the auction goes to support programs for the youth. The Kiwanis motto is “Serving the Children of the World.”

Call 410-754-8184, ext. 1069, for details.

BRYANT RICHARDSON ...support these and other fundraisers to help make life more bearable for those who are going through rough times.

Finally, the annual St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital Wheels For Life Bikeathon is this Sunday, Oct. 8, at 2 p.m. at West Seaford Elementary School.

The coordinator is Ron Breeding, who over the years has helped raise thousands of dollars for St. Jude’s.

The St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital is noted for its battle against childhood cancer and other catastrophic childhood diseases.

The Seaford Kiwanis Club hosts the event by providing refreshments. This is a great family project that provides everyone with a “feel good feeling.”

Entry forms are available at all school offices, the Department of Parks and Recreation, and Seaford City Hall. Anyone wishing to provide a prize, sponsor a rider, or participate in the ride should call Breeding at 629-3964.

If you can’t ride, make a donation. Checks may be made out to Seaford Kiwanis Club, and sent to Kiwanis, PO Box 1017, Seaford, DE 19973.

So, there you have it. Have some fun this weekend and support these and other fundraisers to help make life more bearable for those who are going through rough times.

Real headlines

I like to end my column on a light note. Here are some more headlines that appeared in print.

Stolen painting found by tree

No doubt a shady character put it there.

Juvenile court to try shooting defendant

And if that doesn’t work, just give him a fair trial.

Another very worthwhile fundraiser is a Basket Bingo being held for the family of Blaine Cheeseman.

The young son of a Tri-Gas employee, Blaine has bone cancer and medical bills have been staggering.

Tickets are available for Basket Bingo at Tri Gas & Oil in Federalsburg for $20 each. The bingo will be held at the Federalsburg Fire Hall on Sunday, Oct. 8, at 2 p.m..

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.
