Seaford manufacturer lauded by Carper By Tony E. Windsor

At a time when the national economy is suffering and manufacturing seems to be leaving cities throughout the country, Seaford has been fortunate to provide a home to a company that incorporates as many as four different manufacturing plants under one roof. Nestled in the center of the Seaford Industrial Park is Craig Technologies a manufacturer of precision ground solid and hollow plastic balls and custom precision ground plastic rollers. The business came to Seaford in 1999 and employed 12 people. Today Craig Technologies has expanded and grown to include the ancillary manufacturing

firms of Craig Ball Sales, Flow Smart and its latest acquisition, Linus Tooling, Inc. In all, the businesses employ over 60 people. Craig Technology President, Donald Hollenbeck, says it has always been the company’s goal to bring more manufacturing to Seaford. “The wonderful thing about being in a community like Seaford and a state like Delaware is the easy access you have to all of the people who can help you grow as a business,” he said. Hollenbeck said the state of Delaware has been extremely helpful and Craig Technologies has worked closely with the Delaware Department of Economic Development in gaining access to financial support

as the company has expanded. He added that the city of Seaford has been a supportive partner as well. “The city has always been extremely good about being there for us to lend any help it can to facilitate our expansion here in the Industrial Park,” Hollenbeck said. On Monday morning, Sept. 27, Craig Technologies was visited by a familiar face as U.S. Senator Thomas Carper toured the facilities and was able to see first-hand how the company has grown in its 12 years in Seaford. As governor of Delaware, Carper first welcomed Craig Technologies to Delaware and the Seaford Industrial Park. Continued to page 20

Airport lease is granted for Del Tech to expand aviation program

A year-old aviation maintenance education program at the Sussex County Airport will get a chance to spread its wings a bit more, thanks to support from Sussex County that will help provide new opportunities for residents and boost the local economy. County Council, at its Tuesday, Sept. 28 meeting, approved a 30-year lease agreement with Delaware Technical & Community College to expand its aviation maintenance program at the County owned airport east of Georgetown. In lieu of monthly rent, the lease of a nearly 1-acre parcel off Rudder Lane would be for the college to build a new hangar, where students would learn how to work on airplane engines. The expansion would be the second of a three-phase plan to grow a new aviation maintenance program at the college, which launched an airframe maintenance training program three years ago. The airframe maintenance program, the first of what will eventually be three disciplines under the overall aviation maintenance program, saw its first group of students complete their coursework earlier this month. “This agreement continues Sussex County’s role in the shared mission to provide enhanced educational opportunities for Sussex Countians, and that will allow our residents to train

here and better compete for jobs here in the aviation industry,” County Administrator David B. Baker said. “With Del Tech’s plans to expand their program and our goal to attract more aviation-related businesses to our airpark and the community, this will further establish the Sussex County Airport as a manufacturing base and strengthen the overall economy.” Sussex County Council, Del Tech and PATS Aircraft LLC in October 2006 announced a partnership to create an aviation maintenance associate degree, in part to help guarantee a pool of qualified, skilled mechanics for local manufacturers. The airframe maintenance courses were the first to be developed, training students to become airframe mechanics who service all parts of an airplane, with the exception of the engine, propeller and instruments. No such program existed in Delaware prior to the course’s creation. In 2007, Sussex County sowed the first seeds of that partnership, providing more than $1.2 million in funding to purchase and renovate a 9,750-square-foot hangar at the airport. The building was converted into classroom and practical laboratory space for the airframe maintenance training program now underway. Dr. Ileana Smith, vice president and campus director for Del Tech’s Owens Campus, said the power plant technology program

Still time to reserve a place at Seaford Historical Society Gala By Anne Nesbitt

There is still time to reserve a place at the Seaford Historical Society’s Gala on October 16. The event will be held at the Seaford Library and Cultural Center starting at 6 p.m. The opportunities for purchasing at the live and silent auctions are amazing. A handcrafted model of a skipjack, an almost extinct sailboat that was used by local watermen, will be up for auction. The skipjack was unusually designed with vertical sides and a bottom similar to a flat V. There are only a few in existence at this time. Today’s watermen use power boats. A contemporary watercolor by Doug Lockwood, former art teacher in Seaford schools, has been framed and donated for someone’s art collection. Lockwood traveled extensively to round-out his sketching experiences. His works have been exhibited throughout the United States with a one-man-show in the Willard Gallery in New York City in 1949. Lockwood taught in Seaford in the 1960s, retiring in 1970. The Gala will have food catered by Nage of Rehoboth available throughout the evening consisting of hors d’oeuvres, carving stations and petite desserts. The silent auction lasts from 6 to 7:30 p.m. The live auction stars at 8 p.m. with well-known auctioneer Dave Wilson in charge. Festivities will conclude with a candlelight tour of the Ross Mansion. Coffee and cordials will be served there. A path from the Library to the Mansion will be lighted with luminaries provided by Liz Chambers. Other offerings at the auction will be a signed print of the Ross Mansion barns by Tammi Kearny, an irreplaceable press glass 1876 Centennial Liberty Bell platter; a Fenton limited edition, signed and numbered blue glass vase, and a signed, original oil painting of the Seaford railroad station by Mildred Fager. Fager was a local artist known by many for her hand-drawn art work featured on the covers of the Seaford telephone books for many years. “My Turn To Cook,” Laurel caterers who have an outstanding reputation in this area, are offering dinner for four served in one’s own home. This is a great opportunity to entertain with ease. The cost of the evening is $50 per person. Reservations are required and may be made by calling the Seaford Historical Society’s office at 628-9828 before October 8.

Primary process goes well

Good things are happening in the Election offices in Delaware. After the recent Primary Election, Delaware was recognized by the Pew Center on Electionline. org, “The state was so quick and efficient with posting election results that it became a standard for other jurisdictions to live up to on Tuesday.” In preparation for the upcoming General Election, Delaware applied for and received a waiver to allow the Dept. of Elections an extra three days to mail ballots to military and overseas voters. All three county offices did, however, mail their ballots by the original deadline of Sept. 18. In addition, Delaware partnered with Democracy Live in a program administered by the Federal Voting Assistance Project (FVAP) to e-mail ballots to military and overseas voters.

Greenwood company receives National Environmental Respect Award for 2010 Willard Agri-Service of Greenwood was named the National Environmental Respect Award winner for 2010. The company received this designation in July at a special ceremony in the U.S. Capitol Building. Winners were selected May 6 in Willoughby, Ohio. The Environmental Respect Awards, sponsored by CropLife® magazine and DuPont Crop Protection, are the agricultural industry’s highest recognition for environmental stewardship among United States agricultural retailers, those who serve farmers and ranchers with the nutrients, pest control and agronomic information and services critical to effective crop production. Each year a panel of industry experts gathers to recognize achievement in environmental stewardship, professional excellence, and community involvement. Willard Agri-Service won the award based on excellence in site design, in-plant storage and handling procedures, proper application and leadership in safety and stewardship among customers and employees. Willard Agri-Service has taken many extra steps to ensure the environmental impact of their business is minimal. Some steps include, sampling and testing storm

water before release, installing three-tier containment systems on all bulk chemical storage tanks and conducting both daily and monthly tank inspections. “Our challenge is to find ways to lessen agriculture’s impact on the environment,” says Michael Twining, general manager at Willard Agri-Service. “We must promote the positive message of agriculture being a preferred land use over industrialization or urbanization.” The company received a personalized, Environmental Respect Award crystal sculpture at the ceremony and participated in a stewardship forum, hearing speakers from the World Wildlife Fund, the Center for Global Food Issues, CropLife International, The Fertilizer Institute, the Ag Retailers Association and Croplife America. Representatives from Willard will also have the opportunity to visit an Environmental Respect Award winning business in another country on an ag tour next year. “DuPont is pleased to congratulate the winners of the 2010 Environmental Respect Awards and applauds their accomplishment in environmental stewardship,” said Jim Collins, president, DuPont Crop Protection. “These leaders are helping to advance environmental safety and the safe use of

agricultural products, and we hope they will inspire others who share our passion and desire to elevate environmental stewardship around the world.” “It’s through the conscientious efforts of these ag business and the crop producers they serve that this nation is assured of a safe and bountiful food supply,” said Paul Schrimpf, group editor of CropLife magazine. “We’re delighted to be able to gain them some recognition for their environmentalism.” More information on the Environmental Respect Awards can be found at environmentalrespect.com.

Carper supports legislation

Sen. Tom Carper recently voted for legislation to support small businesses and encourage job creation. The Small Business Jobs Act was approved by the Senate by a vote of 61 to 38.

Carper decries China’s poultry tariff Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.) recently released the following statement regarding China’s announcement that it would be imposing a tariff on U.S. poultry: “China announced that it is imposing import tariffs on American poultry. I am disappointed that China has moved forward with a shortsighted tariff on U.S. poultry imports. This hefty tax certainly hurts U.S. poultry producers, including the chicken producers in my state who in recent years have counted China as one of our biggest foreign customers. The tariff also hurts Chinese citizens who will now have to pay a lot more to enjoy U.S. poultry products, which are a major staple of their diet. This announcement is unfortunate and does not help U.S.-China trade relations. I am hopeful that we will reach a satisfactory resolution to this situation, and look forward to working with my colleagues to be as helpful as possible in addressing this important issue.”

Terry Downing finds greatest enjoyment helping with causes By James Diehl

or 14 years, Terry Downing has been riding the historic Woodland Ferry – first on the “Virginia C,” and, more recently, on the newer and more modern “Tina Fallon.” Along the way, he’s accumulated an impressive list of what his captain calls his “regulars,” men and women who greet the long-time deckhand with familiar greetings and engage in conversation with him – they also take out their wallets on occasion to contribute to one of Downing’s many charitable causes. Among the organizations Downing has supported over the years are the American Diabetes Association and the American Cancer Society. This past weekend, he was busy drumming up support for a walk organized by the American Diabetes Association. “It makes me feel good; I’m proud of myself because I think I do a good job doing things like that,” says Downing. “If somebody needs help, I like to help them if I can.” At 52 years old, Downing has overcome many challenges in his life – they’ve all led

A former student at the Howard T. Ennis School in Georgetown, life hasn’t always been easy for the Seaford native. But he’s rarely ever lost his signature smile, according to Bill Bless, a more than 13-year captain on the Woodland Ferry. “There isn’t anybody who doesn’t like Terry. He’s just a great guy who will do anything for anybody,” says Bless. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen him downtrodden, except for when his mother passed away; he was actually heartbroken by his mother’s death. But, other than that, he’s always had a smile, no

Terry Downing has worked as a deckhand on the Woodland Ferry for the last 14 years, making many friends and raising money for several worthwhile causes. He’s been jokingly called “the mayor of Seaford” by friends because of his involvement in the community he’s called home his entire life.

matter how bad things are.” When Cora Downing passed away in 2005, her eldest son’s world suddenly became much more difficult. Of upmost urgency at the time was the issue of money; Downing didn’t have enough of it to give his mother a fitting sendoff. That troubling time, says Bless, shows just how likeable his long-time deckhand is in the community and with his co-workers. “When his mother died, everyone in the southern district of [the Delaware Department of Transportation] passed the hat to raise money for her funeral,” says Bless. “To me, that shows just how likeable he really is.” Despite his disability, Downing likes to be involved in the community. He lives by himself, but he’s rarely ever home, preferring to walk the Boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach.

He also enjoys going bowling or fishing or traveling around the country – he still talks about a trip he took to the Hawaiian Islands a few years ago. But he also likes to make a difference. He’s volunteered and participated in the Special Olympics for years, he washes emergency equipment for the Seaford Volunteer Fire Department, he even worked toward and achieved the rank of Eagle Scout a few years ago. It’s all about being an integral part of the community, a goal he’s certainly accomplished with years of diligence and hard work. “I always wanted to be a Boy Scout and one day someone asked me to join,” remembers Downing, who achieved the rank of Eagle Scout in the mid-1990s by planting Continued to page nine

Police Journal Purse stolen at Food Lion

On Sept. 29 at 5:44 p.m., Seaford Police officers were called to Food Lion on Sussex Highway for a theft that had just occurred. The victim was shopping when the defendant, Kevin O. Stone, 48, of Bridgeville, removed her purse from the cart when she was looking in another direction. As the victim turned back around, she observed Stone running with her property toward the exit. The defendant fled the store and was last seen going around the Seaford Eagle Diner. Seaford Police checked the woods behind the diner and located Stone going through the victim’s purse. Stone was taken into custody without incident and the property was returned to the victim. Stone was arrested, charged with theft, processed and arraigned by video phone with J.P. Court #2. He was released on a $250 unsecured bond pending a trial at a later date.

Three charged with shoplifting

On Sept. 29 at 2:10 p.m., Seaford Police were notified of a shoplifting incident which had just occurred at Walmart in Seaford. According to Walmart personnel, the subjects fled with two tv’s in a green Buick with Maryland registration. Officers located the vehicle traveling southbound on Sussex Highway and conducted a traffic stop in the area of Burger King. The driver, John T. Hanna, 60, of Salisbury and front seat passenger Amy

L. Donoway, 27, of Chestertown, Md., were taken into custody. Jacob M. Bowling, 27, of Princess Anne, Md., exited the vehicle from the rear and attempted to flee. After a brief struggle, Donoway was taken into custody. Located and recovered from inside the vehicle was assorted drug paraphernalia, a syringe of heroin and approximately .1 grams of crack cocaine. Bowling was transported to Nanticoke Memorial Hospital after complaining of breathing difficulties where he was admitted for further examination. Both tv’s were recovered and returned to Walmart. Hanna was arrested and charged with shoplifting, possession of shoplifter’s tools and conspiracy. Donoway was arrested and charged with shoplifting, possession of shoplifter’s tools, conspiracy, possession of hypodermic syringes, possession of heroin and four counts of possession of drug paraphernalia. Bowling was arrested and charged with shoplifting, possession of shoplifter’s tools, conspiracy, possession of hypodermic syringes, two counts of possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of crack cocaine, resisting arrest and two counts of offensive touching of a law officer. The defendants were transported to the Seaford Police Department and arraigned at Justice of the Peace Court #2 in Rehoboth. Hanna was committed to the Department of Corrections in Georgetown on $4,000 secured bond. Donoway was com-

mitted to the Department of Corrections in Georgetown on $8,500 secured bond. Warrants are on file for Bowling pending his release from Nanticoke Hospital.

Police catch alleged burglars

On Oct. 2, at 12:40 a.m., Seaford Police received a report from a victim, a 21-yearold female, in the 400 block of Pine Street, Seaford, for a burglary which had just occurred at her residence. Officers determined that the defendants, Vladimir J. Senatus, 20, of Seaford, and Antonio Whitaker, 30, of Seaford, gained entry through an unlocked door and removed jewelry. The defendants fled after the victim awoke and observed them inside the home. Several minutes later Seaford Police received another report of a burglary, from a 45-year-old male, in the 100 block of Poplar Street. Officers contacted the victim who advised that a TV and video games were taken from inside the residence. Officers located Senatus and Whitaker walking in the area of Pine and Poplar Streets. The stolen property was recovered and returned to the victims. The defendants were transported to the Seaford Police Department for processing and arraigned at Justice of the Peace Court #3 in Georgetown. Senatus was charged with two counts of burglary, possession of burglar tools, two counts of conspiracy, theft over $1,500, theft under $1,500, offensive touching and carrying a concealed dangerous instru-

ment. He was committed to the Department of Corrections. Whitaker was charged with two counts of burglary, possession of burglar tools, two counts of conspiracy, theft over $1,500, theft under $1,500 and offensive touching. He was also charged with a capias for failture to appear on a warrant out of Superior Court. He was committed to the Department of Corrections.

Man charged in sexual assault

On Sept. 29, Delaware State Police arrested a Rehoboth man for crimes that are alleged to have occurred from 1991 through 2002. Delaware State Police detectives began an investigation into inappropriate sexual contact on May 27. The investigation came to the attention of Delaware State Police when a victim, now 33 years of age, came forward to authorities. Delaware State Police have arrested Tyrone A. Gray, 44, of Fox Creek Drive, Rehoboth, after presenting its case to the State of Delaware Attorney General’s Office, Georgetown. On Sept. 28, Delaware State Police was notified of an indictment that was obtained for the crimes committed by Gray. Gray was arrested at his home and taken to Delaware State Police Troop 7, Lewes, for formal arrest processing. Gray was presented before Justice of the Peace Court 2 and remanded to Sussex Correctional Institute in lieu of $390,000 cash bond.

Terry’s joy comes in helping others Continued from page eight

1,000 daffodil bulbs in Kiwanis Park. “But becoming an Eagle Scout was hard because you have to make a plan for it. But I did it; it was a nice project.” A big Shorebirds and Orioles’ fan, an avid fisherman and bowler and a general lover of life, Downing is jokingly called the “mayor of Seaford” by his caseworker and by his friends – when he hears that familiar moniker, the smile always returns to his face. Many days, Downing can be found at the Seaford firehouse. Whether it’s washing trucks, sitting in on training classes or just “shooting the breeze,” the long-time fixture in the Seaford community is sure to be turning some heads. “They just needed some help washing the trucks and I thought I could help them,” Downing says rather matter-of-factly. “It just makes me feel good because they all know me and they say I’m doing a good job.” When he’s not busy working on the ferry, or at the fire department or participating in the Special Olympics – he’s even jumped into the ocean in February a few times for the organization’s annual Polar Bear Plunge – Downing can usually be found raising money for a worthy cause. Sometimes he knocks on doors, sometimes he asks his friends and

co-workers to help out and often times he’ll ask for donations from riders on the Woodland Ferry. Whatever it takes to raise funds – Downing raised $530 this year for the Relay for Life, organized locally by Dr. Marie Wolfgang, on behalf of the American Cancer Society. “It’s a lot of work to raise money for the Relay for Life, but Dr. Wolfgang has been doing it for a long time and she always signs me up for it,” says Downing. “A few years ago, somebody asked me to do it and I said I would. I just enjoy helping out.” In the past, Downing has also volunteered with other community organizations, including Nanticoke Memorial Hospital. But he had to give that up because he just had “too many things going on.” He certainly does stay busy – Terry Downing is nothing if not a shining example of how one can overcome a disability and make a positive difference in his or her community simply by being positive and willing to help out. He may not actually be the mayor of Seaford, but he does, as Bless likes to point out, “need to have his finger on the pulse of the community.” For Downing, it’s just nine simple words he’s decided to live his life by – “It just makes me feel good to help out.”

Developer of proposed New Horizons subdivision appeals denial By Tony E. Windsor A residential developer is appealing a decision by the Sussex County Planning & Zoning Commission denying a subdivision of 42-acres of property near Trap Pond State Park that would help facilitate a 50home project. The development, the New Horizons Community, is being planned by the Diamond State Community Land Trust (DSCLT), and is proposed to include 50 homes being marketed to potential home buyers who earn 80 percent of the county’s median income or lower. The homes are expected to cost in between $115,000 and $150,000. The project is slated to locate just West of Trap Pond, north of Wooten Road (Road 72) and across from Hudson Road (Road 458). In July the Sussex P&Z Commission denied the subdivision following a controversial public hearing that included several people living in the area of the proposed project who are in opposition to the development. The county expressed six main reasons for the denial including: • The applicant (Diamond State CLT) proposed the project as “moderately priced housing,” and the county said it has intended that type of housing to be located in areas where there is likely to be funding for infrastructure improvements. • The subdivision is planned for an area that has a low priority for potential mass transportation opportunities which are needed to support moderately priced housing. • The subdivision application is not in keeping with the county’s state-sanctioned Comprehensive Land Use Plan. • The application was offered as a “cluster” development which does not meet the county’s codes which state that such a development must be located in a “Town Center,” a “developing area,” or an “Environmentally Sensitive Development Area.” • The cost of the development, estimated at $10 million, suggests, in the county’s opinion, that “this is not moderately priced housing at all.” • The landowner has previously sold larger road front lots which have been used to build houses in the 3,000 – 5,000 square-foot range. These homes, according to the county, create an inconsistency which leads to a conclusion that the subdivision will have an adverse impact on property values based on county codes. At the time of the public hearing in June, residents who opposed the project were not swayed by the presentation of the developer. Mike Smith who resides a few hundred feet from the proposed develop-

ment said he fears the project will impact the quality of life in the Trap Pond area. He said information submitted by the developer to the county as part of the application process indicates that there will be impact on the area in ways including traffic flow. He said information in the developer’s Preliminary Land Use Service (PLUS) application to the Sussex County indicated that a traffic flow study showed about 550 traffic trips per day. He estimates this would increase the current traffic flow by 75 percent. “This increased traffic flow in our neighborhoods is in addition to the decrease in property value that will take place,” he said. Smith, a native of Laurel, has lived in the Trap Pond area for about two years. He said he moved to this area because of its quiet, peaceful environment. He feels that projects like the New Horizon Community threaten the way of life that many people in that area sought when locating there to live. “This project has the potential to negate the reasons I chose to live in this area,” he said. Georgetown attorney, James Fuqua, of the law firm of Fuqua, Yori and Willard, P.A., issued the notice of appeal to Sussex County Administrator, David Baker. In the letter to Baker and the County, Fuqua said the appeal by the DSCLT is based on grounds that the Planning & Zoning Commission decision: was not based on an “orderly and logical review” of the evidence; did not involve the proper interpretation and application of the subdivision and zoning laws; and misapplied and/or or misinterpreted applicable sections of the subdivision and zoning ordinances. The Diamond State Community Land Trust argues that the county was wrong to “confuse” the cost of the project ($10 million) as it relates to the issue of moderately priced homes. “The Commission’s statement is illogical and confuses the cost of development with the goal of providing moderately priced housing to county residents,” Fuqua said. “The project cost included land acquisition, engineering, infrastructure planning & construction, and home construction among other expenses. The cost of those expenditures is irrelevant to the review of a subdivision application by the Commission.” Fuqua went on to say that it is not judging whether the subdivision is moderately priced housing, but whether the subdivision complies with the applicable Land Use Ordinances. Diamond State Community Land Trust is asking the County Council to reverse the decision by the Planning & Zoning Com-

mission denying the subdivision and either approve the subdivision request or hold a new Planning & Zoning Public Hearing using “applicable standards of the Subdivision and Zoning Ordinances.” The New Horizon Community is described by the DSCLT as a wise use of land and on its website the organization states, “The cluster design provides a number of advantages including more efficient land use, preservation of wooded and open space, and lower infrastructure costs; over half the land will remain in trees and open space. In addition to the cluster design, the entire community will be surrounded by tree buffer. A generous area set aside for a community garden and potential community-based agricultural enterprise is also a foundational part of this community plan.” The proposed design of the community includes children’s play yards, all purpose courts, outdoor cooking area, and a community building for gatherings, meetings of the homeowners association, and other activities. There are also plans to provide walking paths to reach Trap Pond State Park. Another opponent of the project, Diane Callaway, sent letters out to promote attendance at June’s Planning & Zoning Commission’s Public Hearing. She and her husband are building a home on the southwest side of Trap Pond and are concerned about the potential impact of the development. “This development will be built on a parcel of land which is almost entirely wooded. This subdivision is the first of its kind proposed in Sussex County and if it is approved by Planning and Zoning, there will inevitably be more in our community,’

Callaway said. “We are fighting this subdivision from a legal, environmental and planning aspect. The quiet peacefulness and safety is why we all chose to live here and raise our families here.” “My concern is that they are building this development in such an environmentally sensitive area,” she said. “It borders land that is state protected land. I feel they are mitigating the storm water issue and I am sure there are more appropriate places to build. They should put this type of development closer to a town center.” DSCLT information on its website concludes that the residential project is what Sussex County needs and is supported by the Delaware State Housing Authority, Delaware Housing Coalition, Sussex Housing Group, NCALL, Delaware Community Foundation, Deutsche Bank, Citi Foundation, JP Morgan Chase and GMAC Bank, Bank of America. “The 2008 Sussex County Comprehensive Plan cites support for the Diamond State Community Land Trust and ‘encourages more limited home equity projects... i.e. community land trusts...” as one way of meeting the critical shortage of homeownership options available to low- and moderate-income families,’” the organization says. The DSCLT says that data shows Sussex County having the largest affordability gap in Delaware between Median Household Income and Median Housing Price as of the 4th quarter 2009. The information they present says that the price of a home considered as “median” is $237,000, while the affordable price is $156,954, a difference of $80,046.

After years of vigorous support on the fundraising Capital Campaign Steering Committee, Carol Sapna has been appointed to a five year term as a commissioner of the Seaford Library and Cultural Center. In those past four years, her energy and enthusiasm have made her a principal player in raising funds and monitoring construction planning and progress. In 2008, together with the current Board President, Kay Wheatley, she negotiated a $500-$600 thousand reduction in the library construction contract, worked with Senator Venables and Representative Short to maintain the $2 million state construction funding through 2009, obtained a $160 thousand state subsidy in street money for the library parking lot paving, arranged for a construction loan with Wilmington Trust, and was responsible for all city planning coordination and a construction liaison with NASON Construction Co. Sapna was elected as the board treasur-

er and will chair the new Sustainability Committee charged with raising additional capital funds and supplemental funds required for operations. The Sustainability Committee is the fulfillment of a goal of the new Strategic plan the Sapna library has just completed. A lifetime Seaford resident, she met her husband at 15 and married him in 1974 after graduation from Goldey-Beacom College in 1973. They have three grown children and four grandchildren - George III and wife, Justina and children Isabella and George IV, and Scott and wife Shannon and children Trent and Macy, all Seaford; and Katie and husband Jay Owens who live in Georgetown.

SCHOOL SUPPLIES - On Friday, Aug. 20, president Debbie Walker, public relations chairman Mary G. Patton, and education chairman Beverly Buchanan delivered school supplies to West Seaford. Book bags, pencils, pencil boxes, Lysol wipes, crayons, etc., were donated by Unit 6 American Legion Auxiliary.

High school students and Bridgevillearea residents will benefit from a new partnership between Delaware Technical & Community College, Owens Campus and the Woodbridge School District. The school district and college will both offer nurses’ assistant courses at Woodbridge High School in Bridgeville. Delaware Tech’s course is open to the public and Woodbridge’s program is for students at Woodbridge High School. The courses

will prepare participants for entry-level jobs in the medical field. Upon completion of the course or student program, graduates will be eligible to sit for the Nurse Aid Competency Exam to obtain the certification required to work as certified nurses’ assistants in Delaware. Dr. Michael Owens, director of corporate and community programs at the Owens Campus, explained that Woodbridge’s program will be primarily taught by the

school nurse with assistance from Delaware Tech instructors. “We will provide two additional instructors for the clinical and laboratory portion of the program,” said Dr. Owens. “We also will be there to provide support and answer any questions; it really is a great collaboration between the high school and the college.” Woodbridge also offered the classroom and lab space at the high school for

Delaware Tech to offer nurses’ assistant courses to the public. “These types of partnerships allow the college to address its capacity problem in light of surging enrollment and continue to provide valuable offerings at an offcampus location,” said Dr. Smith. Delaware Tech’s first nurses’ assistant course at Woodbridge High School began on Oct. 4. For more information call 8546966.

While visiting Linus Tooling, the newest manufacturing member of the Craig Technologies, Inc. group, Sen. Carper talked with CNU machine operator, Arlington Wilson. Photos by Tony Windsor

Sen. Carper is shown how Craig Technologies, Inc. does a visual inspection of all plastic balls that are leaving the production plant. With Carper is Angel Lessner, one of the company’s inspectors.

hanced production even when other areas of the economy are causing a loss of business growth,” he said. Craig Technologies partner, Rob Hollenbeck, said that the businesses under the umbrella of Craig Technologies have been able to double productivity and sales every two years. Flow Smart, another division of Craig Technologies, manufactures high purity seals and gaskets used in the biotech, pharmaceutical and food processing industries. In July, Flow Smart acquired W.L. Gore’s PharmBio Wire and Fabric Reinforced Hose Business, formerly located in Elkton, Md. Production and sales were moved to Seaford. In preparation for the move, a new building had to be located for the fabric and wire hose operation. Hollenbeck said the building formerly occupied by Southern Metals in the Industrial Park was available. Southern Metals was the former contracted cleaning company for the Seaford DuPont plant’s production equipment. The building was donated to Nanticoke Memorial Hospital and the hospital stipulated that it would only be accepted if there was assurance that it could be sold. Smart Flow was able to purchase the building in a five-year “purchase-lease” agreement at a cost of $650,000. This enabled the hospital to use the purchase funds to support its non-profit foundation.

Carper toured the Craig Technologies building that also houses Craig Ball Sales, the distributor arm of the business and Flow Smart which produces high purity polymer components used in a host of industries including the pharmaceutical and food industries. Hollenbeck said the company has been successful in streamlining the process by taking on manufacturing, sales and distribution of Craig Technologies products. “We distribute our products internationally to a world market, so if I am going to pay a firm a commission on sales and distribution, I want to make sure they are working hard to sell my products. So, we decided it was in our best interest to assume the entire responsibility,” he said. As Carper made his way through the Craig Technologies buildings he saw how solid and hollow plastic balls and plastic rollers are made and prepared for valves and bearings to be used by chemical, oil, aerospace, appliance, automotive, pharmaceutical, marine, agriculture and military industries. Hollenbeck explained that having a manufacturing plant that deals with such specialty items allows the business to grow, even during a depressed economic climate. “These industries continue to have a demand for their products and our parts are necessary, so we are able to have en-

called Linus Tooling, Inc. Hollenbeck said the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has also helped secure financial support for the project through its efforts to enhance economic development in rural areas. Following his tour of the Craig Technologies multi-faceted operations, Sen. Carper said he was extremely impressed with what he saw. “Sometimes states consider economic development as being able to steal another state’s businesses,” he said. “I believed as Governor and I believe today that it is important to grow our business base within our state. “We must be able to provide the support to help those businesses that locate to Delaware to grow and prosper. We need to provide access to capital and address regulations and other issues that can impact small businesses. We need to be a friend to our businesses and Delaware is small enough to do this and do it with heart.” Carper added that it is crucial to help bring manufacturing back to Delaware. “When I was Governor of Delaware we had a motto that Delaware is ‘smaller, smarter and quicker,’ and it truly is,” he said. “We need to grow manufacturing in this state, especially in this county (Sussex) and I am so excited to see what Craig Technologies has been able to do here in Seaford.”

State suspends doctor’s license

Secretary of State Jeffrey Bullock and the Board of Medical Licensure and Discipline have issued a suspension of a physician’s Delaware license for engaging in activities which present a clear and present danger to the public health. Last month, the Maryland State Board of Physicians suspended Dr. George Shepard Jr. which triggered notification of all other states in which Shepard is licensed. Delaware’s Board of Medical Licensure and Discipline then began the process of seeking immediate suspension of Dr. Shepard’s Delaware license. Since September 2009, Dr. Shepard was involved in the oversight and day-to-day operations of American Women’s Services (AWS) on East High Street in Elkton, Md. In August 2010, one of the abortions Shepard performed at the Elkton facility resulted in serious complications for an 18-year-old patient. The board found that Dr. Shepard placed patients at grave risk for harm or catastrophic outcomes by participating in a medical practice arrangement in which second trimester abortions were begun in AWS facilities in New Jersey and completed at the Elkton facility after the patients were instructed to travel from New Jersey to Maryland. Dr. Shepard’s status has been updated on the Division of Professional Regulation’s online license verification service. This tool lists the status of 71,000 professional licensees in Delaware and can be accessed by visiting dpr.delaware.gov and clicking “Verify License Online.”

Finding activities for your child

By Dr. Anthony Policastro I often have parents enroll their children in after-school activities to help support their child’s self-esteem. There is a right and wrong way to do this. The list of activities is plentiful and includes sports, hobbies, arts and educational activities. There are several things to remember when selecting an activity. The most important is that the activity must be something that the child likes to do. Unfortunately, the only way to find out what that activity is, is to try different activities. One of the mistakes that parents often make is deciding that something they, the parents, would like to do is also what their child would like. Unfortunately, in other cases, parents may not have gotten the chance to do something when they were younger so they decide their children will do it for them. Another thing to remember is to select activities of various types. Some parents will settle on sports and their children will rotate from sport to sport. Their child might be a gifted pianist but they will never find out. We need to discover our children’s talents which is a lot more difficult than you would think. There are so many activities and so many talents that this is a very difficult job. A third thing to remember is how much activities cost. It is important for children to learn the value of money. One of the ways we do that is by teaching them that there are things the family can afford and things the family can’t. For example, travel baseball and softball are expensive propositions. If the family can comfortably afford them, then there is not a problem. If they cannot, they are simply teaching their children to live beyond their means. This may become future credit card debt in the making. A fourth thing is related to how much time activities take. Some activities can consume all of a child’s free time. They no longer have the chance to be a child. The extreme is the potential Olympic athlete who trains for hours every day. Their families might even move across the country to locate themselves near a good

coach. If the child goes to the Olympics, this may be worth while. However, if the child is not talented, they have missed a lot of their youth. Another thing I try to emphasize to parents is that it is important to find an activity for which the child’s peers can show that they respect the child for it. That is an important point to boost self esteem. Along the same lines, children like to hear their parents brag about them. There is one thing that does not work. In fact, when it happens, it clearly means that the child is in the wrong activity. It should be fun for the child. When a child is involved in an activity and they are not having fun, a change is necessary. If it is because they do not like the activity, they need to change the activity. If it is because the parent expects too much and criticizes them, they also need to change the activity. Self esteem is important in children. There are many ways to build that self esteem. However, there are also ways to do it incorrectly. A child can have fun and use their God given talents. A child can build self esteem. All of these can be done through a variety of activities. The challenge is for parents to find the activity that most suits their children.

Jerome Love shares his western style art works By Lynn R. Parks

DR. DOPLER SPEAKS - The Friends of The Bridgeville Library hosted Dr. Bruce Dopler, of the Nanticoke Stroke Center, on Sept. 28, at the Bridgeville Library meeting room. Dr. Dopler gave a lecture on the types of stroke, prevention, symptoms, and what to do if one suspects they or a family member is having a stroke. The lecture was part of a series of free programs that the Friends are providing to the community.

Ever since he was in elementary school, Jerome Love has been interested in art that depicts ways of life in the western United States. Part of his collection of western art is featured in an exhibit in the Seaford Library and Cultural Center. “Each one of these works tells a story,” said Love, 68 and a resident of Seaford. When the works are in his home, “I enjoy just looking at them.” The works are mostly posters and lithographs. One, of buffalo grazing on the prairie, is an oil painting; another, of a miner on a horse, pulling a pack mule and trying to get away from a large bear looming in the background, is an engraving. The posters are largely from the Gathering of Nations, an annual, international conference of native peoples. Every year, the Gathering puts out a new poster and Love, which has attended several Gatherings, collects them. Love was born in Montana and lived there until he was 6, when his family moved to California. His stepmother, who is 92, still lives on the family ranch and Love visits her there as often as he can. At the age of 19, Love joined the U.S. Navy and in November 1966 found himself in Vietnam. He served there until December 1969 and the pictures that he took there, of people and places, could make up a second exhibit that he is interested in holding at the library. The 8- by 10-inch color photos show a way of life in Vietnam that was disappearing rapidly during the Vietnam War, Love said. They include pictures of a young boy selling painted balloons from his bicycle, of open market places and of temples

and other historic buildings. Love used a Topcon RE Super 35 millimeter camera to snap the images. Love said the two collections have something in common. Both point to the diversity of cultures that exist, he said, and encourage us to be accepting of differences. “Looking at this type of thing reminds us that we are all not the same,” he added. “That is something that people need to remember.” For your information The exhibit of western art from the collection of Jerome Love will be at the Seaford Library and Cultural Center through October. For details, call the library, 6292524.

MORNING STAR • OcTObeR 7 - 13, 2010

Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service group meeting The Sussex County Radio Amateur Civil Emergency System (RACES) program will hold its next meeting for interested radio amateurs at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 14, at the Sussex County Emergency Operations Center near Georgetown. The meeting is offered to radio operators interested in volunteering their time to assist the RACES program. The meeting

will be held in the training room of the Sussex County EOC, 21911 Rudder Lane, east of Georgetown. At this month’s meeting, Ron Block, a consultant on lightning protection and a representative for PolyPhaser, a worldwide producer of lightning protection products, will present a program on ‘Lightning Protection for the Amateur Station.’

Properly securing your child’s safety seat key to them surviving crash

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children 3 to 14 years old, according to 2006 figures from the National Center for Health Statistics. However, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), approximately 8,959 lives have been saved from 1975 to 2008 by the proper use of child safety seats. During National Child Passenger Safety Week (September 19-25), AAA Mid-Atlantic is reminding parents and caregivers to ensure their children are secured properly in the correct seats – every trip, every time. According to NHTSA, nearly three out of four child safety seats are not used properly, which is a grave risk when traveling. “Securing your children properly in age and size appropriate child safety seats – in the back seat of your vehicle – is the most effective thing you can do to protect them in the event of a crash. Additionally, AAA Mid-Atlantic recommends that all child passengers under age 13 should ride securely restrained in the back seat where they are the safest,” commented Jim Lardear, director of Public and Government Affairs at AAA Mid-Atlantic. AAA now advises parents of infants and young toddlers to secure their children in rear-facing child safety seats for as long as possible, maxing out the upper weight or height limits of the car seat. Researchers indicate that toddlers are 75 percent less likely to die or be seriously injured in a crash when they ride in a rear-facing car seat up to their second birthday. AAA recommends the following child passenger safety best practices: • Always read the car seat manufacturer’s instructions and vehicle owner’s manual. • Keep children rear-facing as long as possible – into their second year of life until they reach the upper weight or height limit of their rear-facing convertible seat. This will usually be around 30-35 pounds. • Once children outgrow the upper weight or height limit of their rear-facing convertible seats, they

can ride in a forward-facing child safety seat. • Children should use a forwardfacing child safety seat until they reach the maximum weight (usually 40-65 lbs.) or height for the harness. • Delaware’s child restraint law requires: • All children must be properly restrained in a federally approved child safety seat appropriate for the child’s age, weight and height up to 8 years of age or 65 lbs whichever comes first. • Additionally, children 8 through 15-years-old are required to be properly secured in a seatbelt. • Children under 12 years old or 65 inches in height are still required to sit in the back seat if there are active airbags in the front passenger seating position. • Move children to adult lap/ shoulder belts when they are at least 4’ 9” tall (which usually happens between ages 8 and 12) and vehicle safety belts fit properly. • For all children under age 13, the back seat is the safest place. Consulting an expert can be critical to ensure that children are secured in the safest manner possible. Parents and caregivers can visit the auto club’s Mid-Atlantic Foundation for Safety and Education website at www.aaa.com/foundation and click on the Child Passenger Safety link for additional information on child safety seats and resources for finding a certified technician to inspect their child’s safety seat and provide hands-on advice and instruction.

Sussex County RACES is a corps of volunteers assigned to aid the Emergency Operations Center during major disasters, providing a critical communications link in the event conventional radio, telephones or other forms of communication are down. The group meets the second Thursday of each month at the EOC to discuss issues related to preparedness.

Coming up next month, Bruce Carpenter of Bruce Carpenter Consulting LLC will discuss ‘Grounding and Bonding’ and the system that currently protects the County’s EOC. That meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 11. For more on the RACES program, visit www.sussexcountyraces.or John Ferguson at 858-5310 or k3pfw@arrl.net.

This cannon is one of four on display at the Treasures of the Sea Exhibit at Delaware Technical & Community College, Owens Campus. Call 856-5700 for more information.

Carper rejects a postal rate hike Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.), chairman of the Senate subcommittee with jurisdiction over the U.S. Postal Service, recently released the following statement in response to the Postal Regulatory Commission’s (PRC) decision to reject the latest postal rate hike: “I’d like to thank the members of the Postal Regulatory Commission and their staff for their work. I know this was a hard-fought and complicated case so I appreciate the thought and the long hours that went into producing this important decision. “The Postal Service is clearly in a financial crisis. It lost $4 billion last year and will likely lose as much as $7 billion this year once it closes its books for the fiscal year. Postmaster General Potter announced this past spring that, if nothing were done, the Postal Service could accumulate as much as $230 billion or more in losses by 2020. This is clearly an unsustainable path. In fact - if these trends continue and no major changes occur - I understand that the Postal Service will actually run out of cash by the end of fiscal year 2011, just a year from today. “The rate increase that was denied today would not have fixed the Postal Service’s problems. A number of observers argued that it could actually have made them worse. Even when our economy has fully recovered from this recession, the Postal Service will still need to deal with the fact that more and more people are turning to electronic communication to keep in touch with friends and family and to conduct their daily business. Postal management has done a tremendous job in recent years cutting costs, becoming more efficient, and reducing its workforce. But despite these efforts, more needs to be done to reduce costs and increase revenue, especially during the labor negotiations currently underway. Perhaps more importantly, Congress needs to clear the way

for further progress by passing legislation to free the Postal Service to execute its reform plans. “If we do nothing, we face a future without the valuable services the Postal Service provides. However, if we act quickly, we can turn things around by passing my recently introduced bill, the Postal Operations Sustainment and Transformation (POST) Act of 2010. This necessary legislation would give the Postal Service the room it needs to manage itself and avoid becoming the latest victim of Congressional gridlock. More specifically, my bill addresses the current budget issues plaguing the Postal Service by proposing a series of provisions including: easing postal employee pension and retiree health costs; addressing postal employee wages and benefits; allowing partnerships with state and local governments; and giving the Postal Service leeway to close post offices, market certain non-postal items, and eliminate Saturday delivery. “The Postal Service has put forth a plan that shows a commitment to further cost cutting and efforts to make their business relevant during these changing times. Achieving these goals will require a shared sacrifice on the parts of the Postal Service, postal employees and major postal customers.” Background The proposal was a 5.6 percent increase that would have gone into effect in January. The price of a first-class stamp would have increased by two cents from 44 to 46. The Postal Service was anticipating that it would generate $2.3 billion in revenue. It was filed under a process laid out in the 2006 Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act allowing the Postal Service to increase prices above the CPI rate cap during “extraordinary or exceptional” circumstances. The PRC is denying the request.

New sonography program begins at Delaware Tech, Georgetown By Lynn R. Parks

Lou Spoltore, VP operations for LIVE ON STAGE, Allan Kittila, SCCA board president, and Vince Verdi, the LOS area representative for SCCA, meet with the SCCA board to make selections for the artists to perform for the 2010-2011 Season.

Seaford Community Concerts Association attracts attention by Helen Skjoldagen, SCCA

Seaford Community Concert Association (SCCA) is envied by hundreds of concert organizers in communities throughout 40 states. Prior to each concert season, usually in July, two members of the SCCA Board of Directors and hundreds of other concert organizers from communities in 40 states, meet in Nashville to partake in Live On Stage annual national conference. Live On Stage views hundreds of submissions from managers, agencies and artists from around the world. They then select abut 40 submissions and present their attending affiliates an elite Roster of Attractions to choose from. During the last day of the conference the affiliates began talking about their community concerts to each other. The SCCA members answered many questions asked by their fellow affiliates, such as, “How does SCCA manage to attract concert audiences for 62 years? How do you manage to attract a full house for every concert?” The duo answered that in August, the SCCA mails a brochure showing the five coming attractions they selected, from the elite 40, to every previous year member, and to those who requested to be put on their mailing list. A person becomes a SCCA member when they return the application with the money due. The cost this year is $55 per adult, $120 per family, and $15 per student. Each payee is mailed an envelope containing a season pass (card) admitting them to all five concerts. Nearly 85% of the affiliates said they sell admission tickets at each concert for about the same price that SCCA charges for all five concerts. They also mentioned that they do not have a full house at every concert, nor could they pay someone to stuff envelopes, receive and send mail, or answer the phone. Their budget is tight. When the SCCA affiliate told them that every person on the Board of Directors, and some member pass holders, volunteer

their services and do everything that has to be done to make the concerts a success, they were surprised and envious. All five SCCA concerts, selected in August 2009 for the 2010-2011 season, are held in the 1200 seat Madden Auditorium of Seaford Senior High School. A membership pass must be shown to the ushers at the auditorium entrance doors before being admitted. There are some seats available for would-be concert members. Just call 6296184 or visit www.seafordconcerts.org. State your name, address and phone number and ask to have a brochure/membership application sent to you. The five concert attractions for this 2010-2011 season are: Thursday, Oct. 7 at 8 p.m.: Jim Witter, the Piano Men. Piano styling and voices for the 1970’s and 80’s of Billy Joel and Elton John. Wednesday, Nov. 3, at 8 p.m.: Riders in The Sky, a classic quartet who sound just like the famous Sons of the Pioneers, but revitalizing western music with their own wacky humor and wit. Tuesday, Feb. 1, 2011, at 8 p.m.: Classic and handsome baritone, Daniel Narducci and glamorous soprano, Sherri Seiden, will delight the male and female audience with their superb artistry. Tuesday, March 1, 2011, at 8 p.m.: John Davidson, the same John Davidson of television, movies, stage and Broadway, will have you tapping your feet and your voice humming to his vocal/banjo performance. Sunday, April 10, 2011, at 3 p.m.: Tamburitzans. The pride and joy of Duquesne University of Pittsburgh. SCCA contacted Duquesne University personally to sign up this fabulous group of talented students. The ten couples sing and dance in beautifully made costumes depicting the cultural heritage of Eastern Europe and its neighbors. When the performance is over, the audience will cheer, clap and stand, hoping the young performers would stay on stage a little bit longer. Sorry, these are college students that have a curfew and classes in the morning.

It hasn’t been too long ago that Missy Babinski, director of radiology for Nanticoke Health Services in Seaford, couldn’t hire people to operate Nanticoke sonography, or ultrasound, equipment. She had to engage sonographers who traveled from hospital to hospital. But soon, Sussex County will have a steady supply of people trained in how to operate sonography equipment. A twoyear associate degree in diagnostic medical sonography has just started at the Georgetown campus of Delaware Tech. The college has applied for national accreditation of the program. A similar program is already in place at the Wilmington campus of Delaware Tech. Nanticoke is among four area hospitals that are providing financial support for the Georgetown campus program. The Seaford hospital and Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury, Bayhealth Medical Center in Milford and Dover and Beebe Medical Center in Lewes chipped in to buy laboratory equipment, which cost $325,000. They are also paying the salary of the teacher for the program. “This partnership serves as a model of collaboration providing a pathway from education to jobs for our citizens in the vital healthcare industry,” campus director Ileana Smith said. Last Thursday, the college held a cer-

emony to dedicate the new sonography lab and to thank the four hospitals for their contributions. Del Tech president Orlando George said that the program fits with the college’s mission to “deliver the solutions needed to build and maintain a good economy” in Delaware. George also thanks representatives of the hospitals. “This would not have been possible without the support of our partners,” he said. Christy Moriarty, chairwoman for the diagnostic medical sonography department, said that the lab will give students in the program hands-on experience. “When they graduate, they will be well-prepared for entry-level employment,” she added. “They will be able to find jobs,” Babinski added. Louis Owens, a retired radiologist from Nanticoke Memorial Hospital and a college trustee, said that good training is very important because the quality of a sonogram is dependent on the skill of the sonographer. “To get a good diagnosis, you have to have a well-trained technician who is willing to work hard,” he said. Nanticoke CEO Steve Rose praised the students in the inaugural class. “What you will be doing can really touch people’s lives,” he said. “My hat’s off to all of you. What makes good health care is not equipment and it’s not bricks and mortar. It’s the people, and that’s a community that you will be part of.”

I am not condoning this less than enthusiastic reaction to Carey’s blow to the head; perhaps he should have gotten precautionary medical treatment. I mean it is not every day that you have your forehead pummeled with a wooden bat. But, the truth is, when I was growing up, unless there was some evidence of potentially lost limbs or eyes, we did not go to the doctor or, God forbid, the hospital. It was not that our parents cared less about us. It was simply that years ago most medical treatment was administered by family. If I stepped on a nail, which I seemed to do at least once or twice a summer, or slashed my bare foot on a broken bottle, the remedy was soaking the wound in a salt water tub. Of course every cut no matter how significant was always treated with Merthiolate or Mercurochrome. These two topical antiseptic treatments were pink in color and one would sting more than the other, but I could never remember which one hurt the worse. So, as Mom approached with the small, dark-colored bottle I would begin to cry and beg for her to avoid this step in the treatment process. She would assure me that this would not sting, so I shouldn’t worry. As she applied the solution, I learned quickly that she had lied to me. But, in traditional mother style she would blow on the wound to help cool the sting. I always thought that was kind of neat.

We simply rarely went to a doctor for treatment. Today, children, including my own when he was a child, go to the emergency room or doctor’s office at the first cough or sneeze. I think with the availability of air conditioning and other modern day conveniences, our children are more susceptible to illness and in some ways are not as rugged as we were as kids. I can actually remember the times I was taken to a doctor or the hospital from the time I was born until I left home at 17. There were a total of three such visits in my childhood. One was at the age of about 10 when I was attacked by a Chesapeake Bay Retriever and had to be given 30 stitches to my chest area. There was the time that I had a particularly extensive case of poison ivy that totally covered my back and I had to visit Dr. Sarah Peyton’s office. Then there was the time I failed to call a baseball catch and collided with the center fielder and fractured my finger. The remaining childhood infirmities, including measles, mumps, chickenpox, whooping cough, the Asian Flu, nails in the feet, bats to the head and one incident in which I ran headlong into a parked pickup truck, all were maintained at home under the care of either nurse Mom or surgeon Dad. I made it through my childhood, so whether by design or accident, I suppose my parents knew best when it came to health issues. At least I think so.

Apple Scrapple Festival

OctOber 8 & 9 By Lynn R. Parks

ridgeville is getting ready for its 19th Apple-Scrapple Festival. A banner flies across Market Street, announcing to all those who pass under it that the festival is set for Oct. 8 and 9, and a wooden sign at the corner of Market and Main streets invites all to enjoy the many activities Apple-Scrapple will offer. The festival’s website, www.applescrapple.com, counts down second by second to Friday evening’s opening. “Only 3 days 15 hours 77 minutes and 15 seconds — 14 seconds, 13 seconds — left until the 2010 Apple Scrapple Festival,” it read on Monday.

The festival does two things for the community, organizers say. First, it offers a venue for local service groups to make money. Kiwanis and Lions clubs chapters sell oyster and scrapple sandwiches and the Bridgeville Volunteer Fire Department sells barbecued beef sandwiches. School groups and churches also get in on the action and the three-day carnival benefits the Bridgeville Public Library. Second, it draws attention to the area’s agricultural roots. Both apples and scrapple are produced in town and T.S. Smith and Sons orchards and packing house, founded in 1907, and Rapa Scrapple, founded in 1924, are

major sponsors of the festival. Apple Scrapple also brings crowds of people to Bridgeville, a small town with a population of about 1,600 people. In 1992, the first year of the festival, about 2,500 people came to town to see the sights. Recent crowds have been estimated at around 30,000. “Our festival is the best fall festival in Sussex County,” said chairwoman Bonnie Workman. “There is no charge for parking, all events are free and the food choices are phenomenal.” For this year’s festival Workman predicts perfect weather, especially for Saturday evening when the Fabulous Greaseband comes to town. Based in New Jersey, the band, which specializes in dance tunes from the 1950s

through the 1990s, plays up and down the east coast, primarily in the Washington, D.C., to New York City corridor. But there’s more than good food and good music behind the success of the Apple-Scrapple Festival, Workman added. “Our festival is successful because of the great committee and the cooperation of our town and the total community,” she said. “Bridgeville is a great place to call home.” Festival competitions With its scrapple carving and scrapple throwing contests, the AppleScrapple Festival has always been a place where the competitive could

The festival will get into full swing at 4 p.m. Friday, when the juried food court, centered on Delaware Avenue and Cannon Street, and the carnival, set up along the railroad, open. And yes, that is a juried food court. Anyone wanting to set up a food booth has to submit for judgment descriptions of the food that will be for sale as well as pictures of the food booth. An entertainment stage will be set up in the parking lot behind the fire hall. From 4 to 5 p.m., the band Reminders with Kevin Short will perform.

Hundreds of street rods, antique and classic cars, new cars, trucks and motorcycles will be parked along Delaware Avenue. Judging of the vehicles will take place from 1 to 3 p.m. and awards will be handed out at the stage area at 3:30 p.m. The festival will feature three craft shows. The St. Mary’s Church Craft Show, sponsored by St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, will take place Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the church and outside the church along William Street. The Bridgeville Senior Center’s craft show will be held in front of the center on Market Street and will be open Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. And the Trinity Craft Show, sponsored by Trinity United Methodist Church, will be held in the Woodbridge High School Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Vendors will be set up in the cafeteria, the gymnasium and in hallways and classrooms as well as in the high school yard. The annual Apple-Scrapple Trade Show will be set up at the intersection of Delaware Avenue and Laws Street from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Individuals as well as businesses will show off their

wares and services.

John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail plan invites review The National Park Service Chesapeake Bay recently released its draft Comprehensive Management Plan/Environmental Assessment for the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail. Public review of the plan is encouraged and comments may be made for 30 days. After the public comment period closes on Nov. 5, an analysis of the comments will be made and a final Comprehensive Management Plan (CMP) will be submitted to Congress. The CMP will guide management of the trail for the next 20 years. The Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail, the first national water trail, commemorates the explorations of John Smith on the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries in 1607-1609, tracing approximately 3,000 miles of his voyages.

Among the four alternatives for management of the trail, the draft CMP discusses the selection of the preferred alternative based on the analysis and findings of the NPS planning team as well as on public comments received during the planning process. The preferred management alternative offers greater advantages in protection of trail-related resources, interpretation and understanding for visitors, and public use and enjoyment of the trail. The full draft CMP is available for download at the trail’s planning website: http://parkplanning.nps.gov/cajo. The preferred method of comment is online at http://parkplanning.nps.gov/ cajo. Comments may also be emailed to CAJO_Superintendent@nps.gov. To see the trail’s fall newsletter focusing on the draft comprehensive management plan, and for more information, visit www.smithtrail.net.

Turnage finished it by jumping over the defensive line for the touchdown and later ran to outside for the two point conversion. Seaford went into the second quarter up 8-0 and for the moment in

This week in Star sports history

Worcester Prep boys’ soccer coach Tom Westcott, Salisbury, celebrated his 300th career win following his team’s win over Sts. Peter and Paul of Easton last week. When asked about his favorites memories, Coach Westcott commented, “It was September 28, 1976 when I coached my first game at Worcester. Greg Shockley, a sophomore, was our goalie and helped to record our first win, 8-2 against the Tome School. Greg, now a successful local businessman, was recently appointed by the Governor to serve on the Maryland Tourism Development Board. Greg is also on the BB&T Regional Advisory Board and the Maryland Restaurant Association Board, but he hasn’t forgotten his alma mater or his love of soccer. He is an assistant coach for our team in this 2010 season. That’s how it is with my players, their success, and their dedication.” Westcott is extremely proud of all his players and keeps in touch with many of them. Alumni visiting the school always want to see Coach Westcott, for he is an institution at Worcester Prep. This summer, one of his players, foreign exchange student Philippe Hennebert, now an international banker, came from Belgium to show his children Worcester Prep and to introduce them to Westcott. In the classroom, Westcott puts his coaching and motivational strategies to work. Students often say he taught them how to study; he taught them how to take tests. They’ll tell you how challenging his courses are, and they tell what a master teacher he is. “He brings biology to life,” said senior Matt Carey, Seaford, “and when he’s in front of a class, you know he loves science and teaching. You also know that he cares about you as a person and will do all he can to get you prepared for your future.”

Sussex Tech girls place second at Salesianum Invitational

The Sussex Tech varsity girls’ cross country team placed second in the large school division of the Rev. Joseph A. Beattie Salesianum Invitational last Saturday. The Lady Ravens placed second (67) behind National Cathedral (62). Sussex Tech’s Izzy Wharton placed second (21:34), Bethany Killmon was fifth (22:10), and Emily Ritter finished 12th (22:45). The Sussex Tech boys’ cross country team placed sixth as Robbie Robles came in 17th with a time of 19:05.

Sussex Tech varsity boys’ soccer team falls to Concord The Sussex Tech varsity boys’ soccer team fell to Concord, 2-0, in a non-conference match last Saturday. Concord held an 8-7 advantage in shots and a 3-2 edge in corners. James Smith recorded six saves in goal for the Ravens.

By Charlie Brown Insinger Performance, Inc., distributor for Sonoco Race Fuels, the official fuel of Delaware International Speedway has stepped up to make the purse for the two-day Delaware State Dirt Track Championships on Friday, Oct. 22 and Saturday, Oct. 23 even more attractive by adding to the Late Model and Small Block totals. The Late Model 50 lap main has been increased from $3,000 to $4,500 to win, matching the Big Block Modified payoff. Also matching the Big Block Modifieds will be the gambler portions of the purse which increases the winner’s share to $5,500 with a $50 gambler’s fee and a whopping $6,500 to win with a $100 gambler’s fee. On top of this will be lap leader money in all divisions. Thanks to Insinger and Sonoco, the Small Block Modifieds will also see an increase for their 50 lap main. The winner’s share has been increased from $2,500 to $3,000 to win. Added incentives have also increased with a $50 gambler’s fee upping the winner’s share to $4,000 and $100 gambler’s fee topping out at $5,000 to win. All gambler’s fees must be posted prior to qualifying. The Crate Models, AC Delco TSS Modifieds and the Mod Lites carry some of the best payoffs anywhere for these divisions. The 25-lap Crate Model and AC Delco features will each pay $1,000 to win that increase to $1,500 with a $50 gambler’s fee plus lap money. The Mod Lites’ 20-lap main will pay $500 to win and that doubles to $1,000 with a $50 gambler’s fee. Two day pit passes are just $55 with single day pit passes at $30. Two day general admission spectator passes are just $35 with single day passes for $20. As always, children 13 years of age and under are admitted free on the spectator side when accompanied by an adult. For more information contact the speedway office at (302) 875-1911.

Ravens run past Bulldogs in local high school football showdown By Mike McClure

Despite an encouraging start, the Laurel varsity football team could not overcome their rivals from the Henlopen North on Friday, Sept. 24 in Laurel. Sussex Tech piled up the yardage on the ground in a 49-21 win over the Bulldogs in a battle of 1-1 teams. Laurel’s Brandon Scott returned the opening kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown and Adam Black booted the extra point to give the Bulldogs a 7-0 lead with 11:43 left in the first quarter. Sussex Tech’s offense began its opening possession at midfield and Darrin Beckett rumbled 43 yards on third and nine before Laurel’s Arnold Mann made a touchdown saving tackle. Desmond Sivels ran the ball in from six yards out and James Smith added the PAT to knot the score with 10:39 remaining in the opening quarter. Laurel started its next possession on the 21 and Chris Jones gained 12 yards to move the sticks. Sussex Tech’s Scott Smart held Jones to a four-yard gain on third and six from the 37, forcing a punt. Jones, who took over the punting duties with punter/quarterback/defensive back Joe McGinnis still out following in an injury in week two, boomed a kick. The ball took a Laurel roll and was downed at the six yard line, pinning the Ravens back. Sussex Tech pushed the ball to the Laurel 39 thanks to a 39-yard run by Sivels, but the Ravens elected to punt on fourth and six from the Bulldog 35 fol-

lowing a pair of incomplete passes. Jones kept the Laurel offense going with a 20-yard run to the Laurel 40. Quarterback Bryce Bristow completed a pass to Shawn Miller on third and 10, but the Ravens’ Beau Warrington and Beckett tackled Miler three yards short of the first down Sussex Tech’s offense put together a sustained drive which included a six-yard run by Beckett, an eight-yard pass from Jesse Swanson to Nathan Hones, and a 15-yard keeper by Swanson. Sivels, who had three carries for 13 yards early in the drive, gained 10 yards to set up first and 10 on the Laurel 19 as the first quarter came to a close. Sivels capped the drive with a 13-yard touchdown run and Smith’s extra point made the score 14-7 with 11:18 left in the half. Sussex Tech’s defense held Laurel to three plays and out to give the ball back to the offense. The Ravens started their next possession on the Laurel 43. The Bulldogs’ Blake Elliott sacked Swanson on the first play before Sivels broke off an 11-yard runs. Sivels scored his third touchdown of the night from one yard out and Smith’s PAT upped Sussex Tech’s lead to 21-7 with 5:52 left in the half. Sussex Tech’s Donald White recovered a Laurel fumble on the ensuing kickoff, giving the Ravens one more crack at the end zone. Laurel’s Tyler Robertson appeared to recover a Sussex Tech fumble, but the runner was ruled down. Swanson later completed an eight-yard strike to Ben

Sussex Tech tops Cape Henlopen, former head coach Collick The Sussex Tech varsity football team defeated Cape Henlopen, 48-27, last Friday in Lewes. The game matched the Ravens against former head coach Bill Collick, who is in his first year at the helm for the Vikings. Sussex Tech Desmond Sivels scored four of his five touchdowns in the first half with runs of 66, 23, 14, and 98 yards for scores. James Smith made three of four extra points to give the Ravens a 27-20 lead at the half. The Ravens’ Shane Marvel added touchdown runs of 43 and 51 yards, Sivels scored his final touchdown with a two-yard run, and Smith connected on three more PATs for the 48-27 Sussex Tech win.

Seaford football continued control. In the second quarter a fumble by Seaford on a punt return and a recovery by Polytech put the Panthers on the 15 yard line. Seaford’s defense held Polytech, denying a first down followed by a missed field goal to keep the score at 8-0 with 9:13 to go in the half. Seaford would hold possession of the ball to end the half and take an 8-0 lead into the locker room. In the third quarter Turnage threw an interception, putting the Panthers in striking distance at the 11 yard line. Two carries later Polytech scored on a quarterback sneak, but missed adding two and the score stood at 8-6. Seaford began a series of key mistakes that swung the pendulum in favor of Polytech. At 6:24 the ball was knocked out of the hands of quarterback Turnage and recovered by the Panthers on Seaford’s 13 yard line. Owens made a fine defensive play forcing Polytech to kick a field goal to take a 9-8 lead.

Horsey returned the ball to the 26 yard line on the kick off and Jamil Moore pulled in a pass and ran the ball into Polytech’s 26 yard line. On the next play Turnage again had the ball knocked out of his hands and Polytech gained possession. In the fourth quarter Polytech scored a touchdown at 9:21, putting the Panthers up 16-8. Seaford would turn the ball over one more critical time on the kick off when it was fumbled and recovered again by the Panthers, who took advantage and scored for a 23-8 lead. Seaford would attempt to get back into the game with a carry by Raheem Cannon to the 44 yard line. Turnage put the ball in the air to Owens who pulled it down inside the five yard line but it was called back for offensive pass interference. Seaford was unable to pull in the first down and fell to the Panthers, 23-8. The Blue Jays, whose record goes to 2-2, will take on Lake Forest in the Homecoming game this Friday Night at Bob Dowd Stadium.

Barron and Smith made his fourth extra point of the half for a 28-7 Sussex Tech advantage (3:38). Black pushed the Ravens back to the four yard-line on the second half kickoff. Sussex Tech running back Elijah Fountain was hit hard by Mann and fumbled on the Ravens’ first play of the series, but Sivels recovered the fumble. Sivels had four runs for 37 yards and picked up a first down on fourth and one from the Laurel 38 with a 10-yard run. Fountain ran the ball in from the one and Smith put Sussex Tech ahead, 35-7, with the extra point (5:32). Laurel’s first possession of the second half started on the Bulldogs’ 20. The Laurel offense moved the ball to the Sussex Tech 43 thanks to Jones’ four carries for 27 yards. Jones picked up a first down on fourth and inches from the 43 with a twoyard run. He was unable to convert fourth and three from the Sussex Tech 34 as he took a pitch and threw a pass downfield which fell incomplete. Fountain ran the ball two times for a total of 19 yards to push the ball into Bulldog territory as the third quarter ended. The Ravens’ George Delrosario scampered 21 yards before coming back with a 21-yard touchdown run. Smith’s PAT

made the score 42-7 with 11:03 left in the game. Laurel answered with a score on its next possession as Bristow completed a seven-yard pass to Scott before finding Zach Whaley for a 61-yard touchdown reception on fourth and 11. The extra point was blocked, keeping the score at 42-13 with 5:11 left. Laurel’s Matthew Duryea recovered a Sussex Tech fumble on the Ravens’ next possession. Jones moved the ball into Raven territory with a 26-yard run and a horse collar penalty on Sussex Tech. Bristow later completed a 10-yard touchdown pass to Scott and Scott ran in the two-point conversion to cut the Raven lead to 42-21 with 3:06 remaining in the contest. Sussex Tech answered with one final drive as White picked up 12 yards on a run before an unidentified Raven scored on a 36-yard touchdown run. Smith’s seventh extra point of the night capped the scoring at 49-21 (2:09). Sivels ran for 224 yards and three touchdowns, Beckett had 60 yards rushing (all in the first half), and Delrosario added 58 yards for the Ravens. Jones picked up 99 yards rushing and Bristow completed nine passes for 111 yards and two touchdowns.

Gas Lines

to close at $81.58 to post its best percentage weekly gain (6.7%) in over seven months.

Gasoline prices continued to retreat slightly last week, likely due to post-Labor Day demand drops and an uneventful Atlantic hurricane season in terms of refining disruptions in the Gulf of Mexico. The national average price for regular grade gasoline dropped 2 cents last week to $2.69 on Friday, 22 cents higher than year-ago. Crude Oil Prices Crude oil began last week with modest movement. However, lower than expected U.S. jobless claims and revised second-quarter economic growth data (up to 1.7 percent from 1.6 percent) fueled optimism for higher U.S. fuel demand, sending crude oil to a seven-week high Thursday above $79 a barrel. Oil’s rally continued Friday, due in part to a weakened U.S. dollar, with a rise of 2%

A look ahead It’s typical for prices to drop this time of year following peak summer demand. Barring any unforeseen events, and considering the slow rate of economic recovery and record crude inventories, motorists should expect continued price stability for the near-term and perhaps throughout the remainder of the year,” said Jana L. Tidwell, AAA Mid-Atlantic spokesperson. Local pricing On Tueday gas stations from Delmar to Greenwood were selling regular gasoline in a range from $2.539 to $2.699 a gallon. The low is two cents a gallon higher than a week ago and the high is six cents higher than a week ago.

Seaford’s Innovative Schools for New Tech Network group By Katie Gallup

Director of Marketing and Development, Innovative Schools

In the wake of Delaware’s receipt of the Race to the Top grant, schools across the state are considering new, bold education reforms. Seaford School District, in collaboration with Innovative Schools, a Wilmington-based non-profit public school support organization, and the New Tech Network, is preparing to embark on a ground-breaking path to reinvent Seaford Senior High School and introduce a new model of education in Delaware - a New Tech High School. The Delaware Department of Education has recognized Seaford School District for their bold plan by recently awarding the district one of two School Improvement Grants issued in the state. “With the reinvention of Seaford Senior High School, it is our intent to provide new, exciting learning opportunities that will benefit students, families and teachers alike. Ultimately, we want Seaford Senior High School to be a success and to prepare all of our students for the 21st Century. The district has been actively involving as many stakeholders in this decision making process as possible,” states Dr. Shelley Holt, director of Secondary Education in the Seaford School District. “We are thankful to our partners, Innovative Schools and the New Tech Network, for their immeasurable support.” To offer the Seaford community new, better learning opportunities, Seaford Senior High School will form two small schools, each serving approximately 400 students. Students will have the option to attend either the New Tech High School, or another new education program, which the district is still exploring with the Seaford community. Established in California in 1996, the New Tech High School model has been replicated in 62 schools serving over 18,000 students in 14 states across the country. With an emphasis on 21st century skills including critical and analytical thinking, collaboration and media literacy, the New Tech High School model employs project based learning (PBL) as the primary learning approach as it supports students’ application of knowledge, preparing them for college, life, and a career. Through PBL, technology and inquiry are used to engage students with issues and questions that are relevant to their lives. In New Tech classrooms, teachers become facilitators and coaches who guide students to take charge of their own learning, invent their solutions, and develop selfmanagement techniques. Teachers design rigorous projects aligned to state and district standards and customize them to their location and the interests of students. Students then work in teams to acquire and apply knowledge and skills to solve problems. Innovative Schools and the Seaford School District have forged a powerful partnership in the process of bringing the New Tech High School model to Delaware. Innovative Schools, a locally based non-profit public school support organization, has researched high performing

schools across the country that are pushing the boundaries of public education and offering, new, more modern learning programs. Recognizing that no one model is a perfect fit for every community, the organization has developed a portfolio of these high quality school models that have the potential to be replicated in Delaware. Serving as a partner with both the creators of the school model and local Delaware school districts, Innovative Schools then supports the replication of these models in ways that extend the district and school’s capacity and ensures the success and sustainability of the model. “Innovative Schools applauds the Seaford School District and the Seaford community for being the first school in Delaware to pursue this bold reform,” states Debbie Doordan, executive director of Innovative Schools. “We look forward to working with Seaford School District and the New Tech Network in bringing this first model to Delaware. We hope that Seaford Senior High School will be a school that the state of Delaware looks to as a model for replication throughout Sussex, Kent and New Castle counties.” In order to replicate the New Tech Network’s high school model, schools must first pass a rigorous application process to determine their ability to implement the model with fidelity. Seaford School District was the first school to be accepted into the 2011-2012 New Tech Network cohort. Seaford will utilize the 2010-2011 school year for planning and professional development associated with the new school model. Program implementation will begin in September 2011 with the 9th and 10th grade classes, scaling up to a full high school program by the 2013-2014 school year. “The New Tech Network is very excited to be opening our first high school in Delaware. We look forward to working with Seaford School District and Innovative Schools over the coming years,” states Tim Presiado, director of School Planning from the New Tech Network. “These organizations demonstrate openness to new ideas, an important component in replicating a new school model. The New Tech Network is deeply committed to this project.”

State receives funding for coastline

Sens. Tom Carper and Ted Kaufman (both D-Del.) and Congressman Mike Castle (R-Del.) have announced $8.33 million in federal funding to repair the Rehoboth Beach and Dewey Beach coastlines and $6.17 million in federal funding to repair the Fenwick Island coastline following damage from the Nor’Easter and Hurricane Ida in November 2009. On Aug. 16, Delaware’s Congressional delegation wrote to the Army Corps of Engineers to urge them to use the funding provided in the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2010 to repair the Bethany Beach and South Bethany Beach coastlines and to repair the damage to Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach and Fenwick Island’s coastlines. A previous letter noted that for every $1 spent on beach nourishment, the federal government collects $320 in tax revenue.

Politics Carney speaks on delayed tax cut

John Carney, candidate for the open House seat in Delaware, has released the following statement on the decision to delay a vote on the Bush tax cuts until after the midterm elections: “I’m disappointed that leaders in Washington decided to delay a critical vote on extending tax cuts. Even though people across Delaware and our country continue to struggle during these tough economic times, politicians in Congress keep choosing partisan politics and gridlock over helping middle-class families.”

Democrats open more offices

The Delaware Democratic Party will celebrate the opening of two more campaign offices, Middletown and Lewes. With seven offices open across the state, the Democratic Party said it is showing incredible dedication to winning elections up and down the state and the ballot this fall. “The level of enthusiasm this year is incredible,” said Jim Paoli, Coordinated Campaign chairman. “We have had so many volunteers coming in to help us get out the vote this fall, I’ve never seen anything like it. It is a real testament to the support our candidates have earned, and a clear indicator that the Democrats’ message of moving Delaware forward through positive, tangible solutions is really resonating with voters this year.”

New Delaware Victory office

Delaware State Committee Chairman Tom Ross introduced the new Delaware Victory staff recently from GOP headquarters in Wilmington. The operation will be directed by Ashton Brown, who has previously served as the field staffer for the Sussex region in Georgetown. The operation will offer all the candidates running on the Republican ticket a wide array of resources to ensure high voter turnout in the general election. Victory will include an army of volunteers who will organize voter outreach, doorknocking and phone banks. The victory program comes as candidates across the state and the country have seen dramatic shifts by moderates and independents toward Republican candidates. For the first time in years, Republicans in Delaware have the ability to usher in a tidal wave of new officials to the national and state legislatures and county governments. Chairman Ross first proposed the idea for a victory program earlier this year as voter sentiment continued to turn away from liberal ideology and the economically dangerous policies coming from Democrats in Washington and Dover.

Vote for Carney, Coons, Shwartzkopf This is a year of clear choices for the Nov. 2 election in Delaware. Dependable, ethical, bright and responsible candidates - John Carney for U.S. Congress, Chris Coons for U.S. Senate and Pete Schwartzkopf for 14th District State Representative - are proven leaders who understand the complex issues which affect our state and our citizens. I have known Chris Coons and John Carney personally for many years, and Pete Schwartzkopf more recently. All three are tried and true leaders who are not afraid to make the hard decisions neces-

Thanks Sussex County

My name is Ken Matlusky and I ran in the Democratic primary for Delaware state auditor. I would like to thank the people of Sussex County for your kindness and support during my campaign. I had a fun and fantastic experience running for state auditor. I traveled all over the state meeting so many people, but I have to say that by far my most positive and favorite experiences were with the Kent & Sussex County Democrats. Even though I lost the election, I would like to thank the voters in Sussex for giving me a win in Sussex County. That means a great deal to me. Thank you again and God bless. Ken Matlusky

Times blasted for party coverage

Americans for Limited Government’s TimesCheck.com is decrying how the New York Times has covered the tea party movement this year. “Somehow average Americans who pine for constitutional limited government and the ideals of the founding period are considered extreme and unhinged. Meanwhile, White House officials and career legislators who expand the national debt and subjugate free enterprise are viewed as mainstream. That’s the world, according to the New York Times,” said TimesCheck.com Editor Kevin Mooney. Mooney pointed to a front page story that ran on Monday, Sept. 20, about Obama Administration officials who now speculate that their party’s fortunes could be uplifted by interlinking the GOP with the tea party movement. The sub-headline for that story read, “Democrats Could Cast

Rivals as Being Taken Over By Extremists.” “Although political analysts from across the political spectrum now anticipate significant Republican gains in the midterm

elections, an anonymous source claims that the tea party movement can be used as a foil against Republican prospects,” Mooney explained, noting, “But that’s really just spin, not hard news reporting.”

Don’t lose your tax exempt status

The Internal Revenue Service is concerned because as many as 1,000 small community-based nonprofits in Delaware are in jeopardy of losing their tax-exempt status. The loss of this status could greatly impact the organizations’ charitable work and their donors’ potential tax deductions. Among the organizations that could lose their tax-exempt status are local sports associations and community support groups, volunteer fire and ambulance associations and their auxiliaries, social clubs, educational societies, veterans groups, church-affiliated groups, groups designed to assist those with special needs and a variety of others. The organizations that are at risk failed to file the required returns for 2007, 2008 and 2009, according to IRS records. The requirement to file is the result of a tax law change that occurred in 2006. For many of these small organizations, complying with the new law may be as simple as completing a 10-minute form online. They can preserve their exempt status under a onetime relief program the IRS announced in July, but only if they file by Oct. 15, 2010. The IRS has made numerous attempts to alert these organizations, but we are concerned that many may not have gotten the word. A list of the organizations that were at-risk as of the end of July is posted at www.IRS.gov along with instructions on how to comply with the new law. (Some local non-profits are listed.) We encourage everyone who is connected with a small nonprofit community group to make sure that their organization is aware of the law change and is in compliance before the Oct. 15 deadline.

Harassment can be deadly

September was a bad month for suicides resulting from anti-gay harassment and bullying: • Tyler Clementi, a Rutgers freshman, jumped off a New Jersey bridge after his roommate secretly filmed him being intimate with a man in his dorm room and posted it live on the Internet. • Billy Lucas, 15, hanged himself in Indiana after enduring anti-gay harassment for years. • Asher Brown, 13, shot himself in Houston, Texas, after anti-gay bullying, which his mother and stepfather characterized as constant. • Seth Walsh, 13, after years of being bullied and accused of being gay, hanged himself in California. He died after nine days in a coma. Anyone who allegedly harassed these kids to death bears great responsibility, but

they are not alone. Schools which refuse to implement and enforce effective antibullying policies are also to blame for the problem, but the buck doesn’t stop there either. For years, some churches and religious groups have opposed anti-gay bullying policies and legislation. In their view there shouldn’t even be any gay people, so what’s the problem? The problem is that their unscientific “ex-gay” rant sends the message to straight kids that gay kids are not okay. That message, as we saw in September, can be deadly. Douglas Marshall-Steele

Consider O’Donnell’s experience

Christine O’Donnell is an overnight sensation – literally. Her primary night win over Rep. Mike Castle catapulted her from obscure Delaware candidate to national celebrity within 24 hours. With this new-found attention has come much nonsense: an over-emphasis on statements made more than a decade ago about sexuality and witchcraft. These comments, while cringe-worthy, will not harm O’Donnell; she will turn the situation to her advantage by blaming the media for attacking her. Indeed, this attention may well help O’Donnell by directing attention away from her real weakness – a lack of experience. Instead of focusing on O’Donnell’s past comments, voters should think about what Republican leaders themselves would say

about a Democratic candidate with the credentials of Christine O’Donnell. We can’t know for sure but we have a good idea. Sarah Palin, in her introductory speech before the 2008 Republican National Convention, mocked then Sen. Barack Obama’s work as a community organizer. “I guess a small town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’” she said with heavy-handed sarcasm, “except that you have actual responsibilities.” Palin was speaking about a man whose resume included being president of the Harvard Law Review, a civil rights attorney, a teacher of constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School, a three-term member of the Illinois state senate and a U.S. Senator. What then would she say of an officeseeker, such as O’Donnell, with … no job? It’s hard to imagine the scorn that Palin, Limbaugh, Hannity and the rest would heap on such a candidate. Obama also had the experience of being a husband and father; O’Donnell is single. I’m not saying it’s necessary to have a job and a family before running for office but I am saying that O’Donnell, at age 41, has yet to enter what most people – including, I assume, Sarah Palin – would consider the adult world of actual responsibilities. Other biographical details do little to inspire confidence. O’Donnell once owned a house but she sold it to a friend to avoid foreclosure. She graduated from Fairleigh Dickinson University but the school had to sue her repeatedly to collect the money she owed. These facts don’t preclude her from running for office but, coupled with her lack of employment, they do raise the question of whether she’s a fully functioning member of society. Because of O’Donnell’s old video clips, Democrats may not take her seriously. This would be a mistake. Those same clips show a smart and engaging young woman who believes what she is saying; she will campaign effectively. O’Donnell is also well-funded. Since the primary, she has received more than $2 million in donations, providing her with more than enough firepower. She also has the advantage an energized base. If Democrats don’t get out the vote, O’Donnell could win. I realize some voters, especially independents, may want to “send a message” but they should consider the messenger. O’Donnell’s candidacy rests not on experience or knowledge of the issues but on her ability to deliver speeches filled with easy talking points. Getting things done in the Senate requires an adult understanding of how the world works. Republicans used to trumpet “real world” experience. What happened? Senate rules allow even a single

member to gum up the works of what is often called the word’s greatest deliberative body. Serving as senator is an immense responsibility. Some day, perhaps, O’Donnell could be a credible candidate, but she needs to show she can shoulder the responsibilities of adult life before assuming the added responsibility of helping lead our nation. Getting a job would be a good start. Don Flood

Furious at Sussex Tech

Senator Joe Booth accepted a newly created position at Sussex Tech School District, as a full-time public relations person. He will not be teaching, but will be an administrator forging connections with business leaders. While I am disappointed by Senator Booth taking this position, I am not surprised - it’s just more of the Delaware way. The real outrage, the slap in the face to us taxpayers, comes from the superintendent and the school board of Sussex Tech School District. They have chosen to take away a great deal of money from students. They have created a job with vague responsibilities, a high salary, and awarded it to a man with little or no apparent qualifications, except that he is an influential politician. The job itself is fiction. No other school district in Sussex County has a full-time person devoted solely to public relations. Other school districts, that have three times the number of students, do not need a public relations person. As a resident of Greenwood, I want to hear Representative David Wilson’s position on this issue. Does he support state agencies handing out high-paying jobs to politicians, when tax money is so tight? There are simple solutions to fix many of the problems in Delaware, but too many of our elected leaders are not interested in fixing a system that awards themselves. More than two months ago, I released an education plan that addressed problems like this, problems that are holding our children back from getting the education they deserve. These are simple changes that ensure that our tax dollars end up in the classroom, and are not wasted by school administrators. I pledge to fight to make these changes.

Final Word Government - is it the solution?

HR 1 - The American Recovery & Investment Act of 2009, was introduced to Congress on Jan. 26, 2009 by David Obey (D-Wisconsin) and was otherwise billed as a $550 billion “emergency stimulus” plan that our President promised would have “no pork in it.” On Feb. 13, 2010, he reinstated a financial rule, used by congressional budget writers for more than 20 years called, “paygo.” Paygo rules state that a bill must either be budget neutral or offset by tax increases or spending cuts in other areas. This part made headlines. What didn’t appear in the news anywhere is the fact that on the very same day he raised the national debt ceiling from 12.4 trillion to 14.3 trillion. From the start, the stimulus math was flawed. A quick perusal of the dollars does not add up to $550 billion, in fact, some estimates put the “package” spending presently accounted for as high as $862 billion. Here’s where the money was supposed to go - $58 billion to energy, $275 billion in tax cuts, $141.6 billion to education, $90 billion to infrastructure, $102 billion in aid to the poor and unemployed and $111 billion for health care. In addition to this, our government has incentivized citizens and businesses alike to buy houses, buy cars, purchase appliances, weatherize homes, expanded the availability of food stamps (all the way to college students with no requirement for eligibility), authorized money to states to encourage the hiring or “saving” of public employees (with no long term thought as to how we will continue to pay for them) and “gifted” billions to what once were our local schools, deeply entrenching them in federal funding. The resulting culture created by this wave of stimulus, incentive and entitlement spending must and necessarily will stop, because the American public can no longer afford it.

The measure of debt, whether you are an individual, a couple, a family, a business or a nation is the same. Simply put, it is what you are capable of producing (income or GDP) minus what you owe. The printing of additional currency merely encourages inflation and simply means that we are that much deeper in debt. It is no different than when we purchase items “on credit.” Without a pay increase, an earnings bonus, an inheritance or a “hit” at the lottery, the result is always the same we owe more money. The current debt of our nation stands at 93% of GDP. If our nation were a business, no bank in its right mind would approve additional lending on a debt to income ratio like that. Some months back, our President attended an “economic round table” where he encouraged other nations to expand, adopt or create emergency stimulus measures to combat the “globac recession.” Germany, Japan and France, all of whom have navigated long and well documented fiscal hazards, issued very public sentiments renouncing such schemes. And still, he persists. He has spoken of a “tax holiday” for businesses (estimates put this cost at about $300 billion), additional money for infrastructure and creating an infrastructure “bank” (to police the spending - about $200 billion) or research and development credits for businesses (about $50 billion). Where will it all end?

Someone with some guts and integrity needs to stand up (be brave) and look the American people in the eye and tell us what we already know. Perhaps Ronald Reagan did say it best - “Government is not the solution, government is the problem.” Penny L. Atkins
