Cemeteries are not forgotten Volunteers with the historical society are compiling names, dates and epitaphs from thousands of gravestones, in town and country By Lynn R. Parks Doug Breen and Chuck Swift understand that cemeteries contain stories about our past. But at the same time, they believe that collecting those stories and documenting the names of people for whom those stories were real life is important for the future. “There is a wealth of information in cemeteries,” said Breen. “That’s why I think it’s so important for us to get all this down, so that that information isn’t lost.” Breen and Swift, both residents of Laurel, are working to collect the details off every grave marker in the 19956 zip code. That is harder than it might sound: There are about 150 cemeteries in the Laurel area, some, like the Odd Fellows Cemetery in Laurel with more than 3,000 graves, others small family plots with just a couple of stones. So far, the two men have documented about 8,000 gravestones. Their documentation includes the location of the stone and everything that is written on it, name, dates and epitaphs. It also includes a picture of each stone. Breen and Swift are both members of the Laurel Historical Society. Breen, who moved to the area from Calvert County, Md., last year and immediate-

Commercial users of water and sewer systems in town see decrease in rates By Tony E. Windsor Laurel’s commercial customers will see a decrease in water and sewer rates and town officials said that the reductions are being enacted to assure a fair fee structure. During the Monday, Oct. 6, meeting of Laurel Town Council, town manager Bill Fasano said the change in commercial fees has come about after concerns expressed by users about excessive increases due to the updating of water and sewer fees. “We have two out-of-town users and one of these is a very heavy water

and sewer customer. His commercial utility rates have increased 100 percent. In an effort to assure we are being fair both to our in-town users and out-of-town users, we have recommended a decrease in the water and sewer structure,” he said. Fasano said the decrease takes rates down for commercial users by about 30 percent. For example, he said, a business that traditionally is charged $2,000 every two months for water and sewer will see a reduction down to a final bill of between $1,200 and $1,500. Current and new rates for water

service are: Base rate charge for in-town users, current, $20; proposed, $15 Base rate for out of town users, current, $40; proposed, $30 Use rate for in-town users, current, $4.50 per thousand gallons; proposed, $3.75 per thousand gallons Use rate for out-of-town users, current, $9 per thousand gallons; proposed, $7.50 per thousand gallons Current and new fee rates for sewer service are: Base rate for in-town users, current, $75; proposed, $55 Continued on page four

MORNING STAR • OCTOBER 9 - 15, 2008

In response to complaint, town to inspect ‘deplorable’ property By Tony E. Windsor Laurel officials have been notified by a local grassroots development watchdog group about issues the group feels are in violation of town ordinances. The vice president of the Sussex County Organization to Limit Development Mistakes (SCOLDM) wrote a letter on behalf of the group seeking resolve to three particular issues. In a letter to Laurel town manager Bill Fasano dated Oct. 2, Sylvia Brohawn expressed concerns about a house and a mobile home on Colonial Road that is in “deplorable” condition and creating a “danger to the neighborhood.” She said that the properties are in town limits and could be a liability to the town. “The town of Laurel could possibly be held liable should a child or anyone of any

age, wonder in and be hurt or killed,” she said. Brohawn said because the properties are in town limits she feels it imperative that the town do something to eliminate the safety concerns. She also said she is seeking answers to this and other issues. “Why has there been no code enforcement regarding these properties? These properties are located in Laurel and have been allowed to deteriorate for nearly two years. Would dwellings on Delaware Avenue or Lake Drive be allowed to deteriorate for two years like this?” she asked. Brohawn also asked whether commercial farming is allowed within town limits because the deteriorating Colonial Drive properties are surrounded by commercial farming operations, also located within town. Finally, Brohawn asked whether a pri-

Base rate for out of town users, current, $150; proposed, $110 Use rate in-town, current, $7 per thousand gallons; proposed, $5 per thousand gallons Use rate for out of town, current, $14 per thousand gallons; proposed, $10 per thousand gallons Councilman Donald Phillips said in voting to approve the new rate fee structure that he feels confident that the measure addresses the two concerns he had during discussions. “I want to make sure that we are fair to our in-town and out-of-town commercial water and sewer users. But I also want to see the rates be such that when the time is right, an out-of-town business will feel it beneficial to locate in the town limits,” he said. Phillips also said he appreciates that the rate adjustments will continue to assure that the town is able to be fair to commercial users and at the same time make money over the cost it takes to service the customers and also spread the cost over more users. “This is similar to how the town handles the out of town sewage brought to the wastewater treatment plant by haulers,” Phillips said. Fasano told Phillips that the town has seen a “significant surplus” in the budget for water and sewer, and expects even

with the reduction in fees there will still be a surplus. “This rate adjustment will not change our overall operating budget numbers,” he said. Mayor John Shwed said he was very satisfied with the new rate adjustments and appreciated that the town was willing to take the initiative to stop and examine fees and make sure it is being fair to its users. The town council voted unanimously to accept the proposed water and sewer rates and they went into effect on Tuesday, Oct. 7.

vate well used by the property for the farming operation is legal given the recent ordinance passed by the town prohibiting private wells within the town limits. She wrote in her letter that SCOLDM representatives are seeking an answer regarding the potential code violations at the Colonial Drive homes as a matter of “utmost urgency.” She also said she expects a response including any necessary “appropriate and supportive” documents. Brohawn cautioned the town to respond quickly to all of the concerns she expressed. “Should I need to submit a Freedom of Information Act request for these documents I will do so immediately,” she said. Brohawn also sent a copy of her letter to Mayor John Shwed and code enforcement officer Paul Frick. “I believe these questions should be addressed at the Oct. 6 council meeting to demonstrate to the public that the town of Laurel is performing its due diligence via code enforcement,” she said. During the Monday night meeting, Fasano told the council that the code enforcement office, under the direction of Frick, will inspect the Colonial Drive properties, document any code violations and prosecute where necessary. He also said that agricultural use of property in town is prohibited. However, if a property that is already being used for farming is annexed into the town, the property owner cannot be forced to com-

ply with town zoning. That would be a violation of the property owner’s property rights, he said. Fasano added that the land would be rezoned as a “non-conforming land use” and be allowed to remain agricultural until changing owners. Fasano said the private water wells are now prohibited in the town, so all existing private wells must be abandoned by Oct. 16. He said the town is working with property owners on this project. Since the town recently enacted new private well laws, all irrigation on properties within town limits must be connected to the town’s municipal water supply. The town council gave Fasano approval to move forward with drafting an official letter to Brohawn and SCOLDM responding to the concerns expressed in Brohawn’s letter. Both Fasano and Shwed expressed appreciation to SCOLDM for bringing the issues to the town’s attention. REAL ESTATE

MORNING STAR • OCTOBER 9 - 15, 2008

Fighting the Germans as well as discrimination Black soldier encountered prejudice during his time as an Army sergeant By James Diehl Near the end of World War II, John D. Hill was standing on the banks of a raging river directly across from a pretty young German woman. After flirting with him for several minutes, she urged him to swim over so they could spend a little time together. He started to do just that, forgetting one very important detail — the young Army sergeant had never learned to swim. “I was just a fool,” he admits today. “I went under the water two times, but the third time there was a fellow in our unit named Tyson who saw me drowning and jumped in to pull me out. “He said I was the best sergeant in the Army so he wanted to save me.” Two weeks later, young Tyson disobeyed a direct order from Hill, who was a sergeant in the 3140th Quartermaster Service Co. To the soldier’s dismay, Hill had him court-martialed. “After that, he just said that he should have let me drown,” Hill says with a laugh. “But he later forgave me and we became good friends. The thing is, if I had gotten across that river I wouldn’t have had any way to get back and I would have been AWOL.” As a black man serving his country during World War II, Hill had many enemies — not only was he fighting Adolf Hitler’s Germany, but he was also battling discrimination and racism among his own countrymen. And he did it with pride, with fervor and with a desire to be “an important cog in Uncle Sam’s Army.” “I saw discrimination everywhere I went. They wanted to bust me down several times, but they couldn’t because our colonel was on my side,” says Hill, who today resides in Seaford with his wife, Melva. “Our soldiers were sometimes worse than the foreign ones. They talked about us all the time like we were nothing to them. “I was different and they let me know I was different.” Admittedly a bit of a reckless soldier during the war, Hill consistently stood up for himself and for his men, regardless of the odds. His biggest battle was with one of his commanding officers, a Jewish man of German descent. “As a soldier at that time, you did whatever your battalion commander said. You listened and you didn’t talk back, especially if you were a black man,” Hill says. “This captain did things like taking our supplies and giving them to the Ger-

mans.” Often without adequate shoes and other items, Hill and his men made do the best they could in what was then a “white man’s world.” But things were beginning to change in the United States, though not nearly fast enough for Hill and his fellow black soldiers. Prior to 1941, the United States military maintained a segregated fighting force. Blacks were often seen as unfit for combat and were not allowed on the front lines. Under pressure by civil rights leaders in the United States, the government set up all-black combat units on an experimental basis during World War II. Hill had yet to realize the advances that were being made in race relations in the United States, but progress was coming, albeit slowly. Growing up as a poor boy in rural Virginia, the young Hill saw his father run out of town by the Ku Klux Klan. He didn’t see much of his father after that and his mother passed away a few years later, bringing John to Federalsburg, Md., to live with his two sisters and his Aunt Annie. Giving up on his dream of becoming an attorney because of his lack of education, John decided instead to embrace his role in the United States Army. He received his draft notice in the winter of 1943. “I never really thought I was strong and healthy enough to pass the Army physical, so I was proud that I had good enough health at that time to pass,” he says. “Here I was this little stringy guy and I passed the physical.” Attending segregated basic training and ordnance training, Hill eventually made his way to Staten Island, N.Y., to board the famed RMS Aquitania for his trip abroad. Then one of the largest ships on the seas, the Aquitania transported thousands of American troops to the European battle zones during World War II. Among them was Hill, a young black man from Virginia who had never ventured far from home. “When we got to Scotland, that was the prettiest thing I’d ever seen,” he says. “I’d never seen anything like that; it was so beautiful. We all got on one side of the ship to look and we thought it was going to tip over.” Later landing on mainland Europe in Normandy, France, Hill and his unit made their way north toward Germany. Their job was to supply nearby units with whatever they needed, from ammunition to clothing to cigarettes. “I just did my job as I was ordered to do it,” he says. “Whatever load they told us to get, we would get it. It didn’t matter what it was. “We would even go and get the cigarettes out of the water after they were dropped in the canvas bags.” In charge of an ammunition dump — defined as an ammunition storage point,

Seaford resident John D. Hill was a sergeant in the 3140th Quartermaster Service Co., during World War II, serving in the European Theater of Operations. He retired from a career as a truck and bus driver in 1985 and moved to Seaford with his wife, Melva.

MORNING STAR • OCTOBER 9 - 15, 2008 usually established in the field for temporary use — Hill never stayed in one place for long. But he was given permission to carry a .45 caliber revolver, which some of his fellow soldiers didn’t particularly approve of. “Those white cats didn’t want to listen to me sometimes, but they found out who I was and they had to do what I said,” he recalls. During the historic Battle of the Bulge in January 1945, Hill and the men of the 3140th were primarily responsible for getting supplies to the 101st Airborne division near Bastogne, Belgium. It was a risky endeavor and one that required great precision. “There was only about a two-mile corridor where the trucks could go through to carry ammunition,” he remembers. “The Germans had us surrounded and if they had closed that corridor, they probably would have won the battle. But we were able to keep them from closing that trap.” Military records from the Battle of the Bulge show that a division from U.S. Gen.

George S. Patton’s Third Army fought the Germans in Bastogne, reaching them on the day after Christmas in 1944. This move opened the so-called “Assenois Corridor,” allowing the United States to immediately begin supplying its ground troops. The move deflated the German offensive and prepared the way for the Allied counterattack in January 1945. With the corridor opened to Bastogne, the Germans were squeezed from three sides and were effectively beaten. The war in Europe was entering its final weeks. Later travelling with the 101st to the French town of Marseilles, Hill and his men finally received their pay — it was more money than the poor black soldier had ever seen in his life. “We went back to Marseilles to rest because we had been through hell at the Battle of the Bulge,” he recalls. “That was the Germans’ last stand and let me tell you, they were really putting on a battle. “But when we got back to Marseilles,

Fluorescent bulbs can be recycled The Delaware Energy Office announces a statewide initiative that began Oct. 1 to encourage Delawareans to recycle used, unbroken compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs by taking them to a drop-off location for disposal. The recycling initiative is being kicked off in October – National Energy Awareness month – as a way to engage citizens in an environmentally-conscious activity that will help protect the environment. “Compact fluorescent light bulbs are an extremely energy-efficient and cost effective lighting option,” said Kevin Yingling, Delaware Energy Office program coordinator. “However, CFL bulbs contain a small amount of mercury, so recycling them is the best way to maximize safety and protect the environment.” Mercury is an essential part of CFLs; it allows the bulb to be an efficient light source. A CFL bulb contains an average of 4 milligrams of mercury – about the amount that would cover the tip of a ballpoint pen. By contrast, an old thermometer contains about 500 milligrams of mercury – the amount equal to the mercury in 125 CFL bulbs. No mercury is released by the bulbs, when handled properly and unbroken. However, if broken and discarded in a landfill, CFL bulbs can release mercury into the environment. Citizens are encouraged to place used,

unbroken CFLs in a plastic sandwich bag and bring them to a drop off location. The bulbs will be packaged and transported to a licensed recycling center where the mercury will be reclaimed and the glass and metal will be recycled. The following locations are accepting CFL bulbs: Delaware Electric Cooperative, 14198 Sussex Highway, Greenwood; and the City of Seaford, 414 High St., Seaford. In addition, the Delaware Solid Waste Authority holds household hazardous waste collection days at locations throughout the state. For more information, visit http://www.dswa.com/programs_haz_Sche dule.asp. Fluorescent bulbs use 66 percent less energy than a standard incandescent bulb. If every home in America replaced just one incandescent light bulb with a CFL bulb, enough energy would be saved to light more than three million homes and prevent greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those of more than 800,000 cars annually. Replacing a 60 watt standard bulb with a 13 watt fluorescent bulb will save at least $24 in energy costs over the life of the bulb and last up to ten times longer. For more information, contact the Delaware Energy Office at 302-735-3480 or visit www.energy.dnrec.delaware.gov.

Education Sussex Tech adult literacy program claims two state awards Sussex Technical Adult Division was recently honored by the Interagency Council on Adult Literacy (ICAL) with two out of five statewide awards presented by the Council for Outstanding Achievement/Service. The awards were for outstanding program and outstanding staff member. The Even Start Family Literacy Program has served Sussex County residents in three different locations during the past 10 years. In 2007-08 the program served 77 adults and 82 children. The program offers three adult English as a second language classes and four early childhood classes. Another aspect that qualified the program for the outstanding program award is that with Even Start’s decline in funding over the last few years, the program has secured funding from eight different

sources to maintain a high quality program. One of the anchors of the Even Start Family Literacy Program is its coordinator, Jose Oyola, who received the outstanding staff member award. A native Hispanic speaker with a math teaching degree and a heart for educating people, Oyola became the Even Start coordinator in 2004 and has increased enrollment by more than 100 adults and children. Oyola also provides extra services to ESL parents, such as translation, connections to social services and explanation and modeling of American culture and processes. Oyola and administrators of the Sussex Technical Adult Division were honored at the ICAL Awards Ceremony on Sept. 21 in the Senate Chambers of Legislative Hall.

Skis of Ellendale; Scott Tull and Chun Wong of Delmar; and Brandon Tyre of Salisbury, Md. The mission of the Upward Bound program is to encourage and assist high school students who are traditionally under-represented in postsecondary education due to income or family educational background in preparation for, entry to and completion of a postsecondary education.

Laurel woman earns three scholarships Jacqueline Haley Keenan of Laurel was one of 18 Delaware high school graduates who received an Elbert N. Carvel Agricultural Scholarship from the University of Delaware’s College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. These scholarships are given to students based on their academic success in high school and their promise for continued success at the college level. Keenan, who is majoring in landscape horticulture and design, also received the

Papen Farms Scholarship and the Allen Family Agricultural Scholarship. The Papen Farms award was established to honor the Papen family, Kent County farmers. The Allen Family award was established in honor of C. Clarence and Nellie Allen, founders of Allen's Hatcheries, Inc. in Seaford, to assist students majoring in one of the economic, biological, or engineering areas in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources.

College planning host early-childhood conference The 12th annual Enhancing a Child’s World Conference will take place Saturday, Nov. 15 at Delaware Technical & Community College, Georgetown. The day-long conference provides early childhood professionals and early education students with additional skills, strategies and knowledge that SmartDrive founder Pete Booker (second from left) recently visited Sussex Technical High School to kick off the 2008-09 SmartDrive contest and to thank Sussex Tech junior Anna Yelverton of Seaford for producing the radio commercials for SmartDrive last year. In the photo are driver education teacher Merrill Moore, Booker, Yelverton and driver education teacher Tom Pegelow. Not pictured is driver education teacher Kevin Elzie.

Students can learn how to SmartDrive Sussex Tech is encouraging its students to participate in the teenage driver enhancement program, SmartDrive. This is a free, online program of driver education reinforcement aimed at students who already have their driver’s licenses. The program is offered from Nov. 1 to Jan. 31 and from Jan. 1 to March 31. SmartDrive Schools of the Year can earn $1,500, $1,000 and $500 for their After Prom parties. Student incentives for the DE/South (Kent/Sussex) category include a $4,000 scholarship for the top student, a laptop computer for second place and a $100 shopping spree for the third place winner. Students may sign up at www.smartdrivede.org. Last year, Sussex Tech had the highest percentage of performance of schools signed up for the contest in Kent and Sussex counties and received $1,500, which was used for the senior picnic. Two Sussex Tech students also tied for second place for the SmartDrive Student of the Year award in the DE/South category. SmartDrive’s Road Rally series is a set of online modules which challenges the young driver’s experience with road rules, judgment and general common sense. Each module must be completed by the student and submitted electronically by the deadline. New to the program this year is a module that must be completed by the parents/guardians. The goal is to review good driving principles and habits and encourage a dialogue between parent and young driver. SmartDrive was conceived in early 2004 by Pete Booker, CEO of Delmarva Broadcasting Company, in response to a rash of deaths of several Delaware high school students in vehicle crashes. Participation in SmartDrive by Sussex Tech students is supervised by driver education teachers Merrill Moore, Kevin Elzie and Tom Pegelow.

Tax credit established for first-time homebuyers

Approximately 100 members of the community joined Nanticoke’s Cancer Care Center, the American Cancer Society, and the City of Seaford for a vigil walk to Seaford’s Gateway Park with lighted pink candles to kick off “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer - Sussex County: A Hot Pink Community”.

Seaford walks with Nanticoke to make strides against cancer On the evening of Oct. 2, approximately 100 members of the community joined Nanticoke’s Cancer Care Center, the American Cancer Society, and the City of Seaford for a vigil walk to Seaford’s Gateway Park with lighted pink candles to kick off “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer - Sussex County: A Hot Pink Community”. Governor Ruth Ann Minner and Seaford Mayor Ed Butler, both participated in the campaign. The Governor spoke to the group and presented a proclamation. A wreath was placed in honor of survivors and in memory of those who lost their battles with breast cancer. Cathy Vansciver gave words of remembrance about Melissa Lamont-Davis, a former Nanticoke employee who lost her battle with cancer a year ago. Lori Jones, Nanticoke employee and active member of the community, sang a song of inspiration. “As I looked down the path of lighted luminaries that led from Nanticoke’s Cancer Care Center to the Seaford Gateway

Park and observed the vision of the vigil participants with their lighted candles walking towards the park, it took my breath away,” said Melinda Huffman, MSN, RN, CGRN, Cancer Screening Nurse. “Hopefully, a great message of awareness was sent to the community of Seaford as they passed by and witnessed the pink lights and the candle lights of each participant.” During the month of October, Nanticoke Memorial Hospital Campus and Mears Health Campus will be “turning pink”. Several activities will be planned to provide cancer awareness. Along with adding pink balloons to the main entrance’s water fountain, the hospital turned select lighting pink, will be serving a pink lunch to patients and employees,decorated bushes pink, and dedicated a day to encourage employees to wear pink. For more information, please contact Melinda Huffman, Cancer Screening Nurse, at 629-6615 ext. 3765.

First-time homebuyers should begin planning now to take advantage of a new tax credit included in the recently enacted Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. Available for a limited time only, the credit: • Applies to home purchases after April 8, 2008, and before July 1, 2009. • Reduces a taxpayer’s tax bill or increases his or her refund, dollar for dollar. • Is fully refundable, meaning that the credit will be paid out to eligible taxpayers, even if they owe no tax or the credit is more than the tax that they owe. However, the credit operates much like an interest-free loan, because it must be repaid over a 15-year period. So, for example, an eligible taxpayer who buys a home today and properly claims the maximum available credit of $7,500 on his or her 2008 federal income tax return must begin repaying the credit by including one-fifteenth of this amount, or $500, as an additional tax on his or her 2010 return. Eligible taxpayers will claim the credit on new IRS Form 5405. This form, along with more instructions on claiming the first-time homebuyer credit, will be included in 2008 tax forms and instructions and be available later this year at www.IRS.gov.

Laurel woman is injured when motorcycle hits deer The Delaware State Police investigated a crash that involved a motorcyclist striking a deer Monday evening on Laurel Road north of Old Stage Road. Troopers responded to the crash at 7:29 pm after it was reported two motorcycles crashed after three deer entered the roadway in their path of travel. Troopers determined a 2005 Suzuki motorcycle, operated by Elisabeth Vandenmeydenburg, 25, of Laurel and a 2007 Harley Davidson motorcycle, operated by Josephus Vandenmeydenburg, 58, of Laurel, were traveling eastbound on Laurel road. They were riding next to each other when three deer entered the roadway from the north side. Elisabeth Vandenmeydenburg struck one of the deer and crashed as a result of the impact. Her father was able to avoid striking the deer, but was unable to remain in control of the motorcycle and laid it down on the roadway. Elisabeth sustained serious injuries and was flown to Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury by DSP helicopter. Josephus Vandenmeydenburg was not injured. Both parties were wearing helmets. No charges will be filed.

Follow these tips to prevent fires A pot holder too close to a lit burner or a space heater left on overnight could be all it takes to start a home fire. In fact, cooking and heating are among the leading causes of home fires in the United States, according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). That’s why the Delaware State Fire School and your local Fire Department is teaming up with NFPA from October 5-11 to urge residents to “Prevent Home Fires” during Fire Prevention Week. This year’s campaign focuses on preventing all the leading causes of home fires – cooking, heating and electrical equipment and smoking materials. Fire safety educators will also teach local residents how to plan and practice escape from a home in the event of a fire. According to the latest research from NFPA, more than 2,500 people died in home fires in the United States in 2006, and 12,500 were injured. Fire departments responded to 396,000 home fires, which

accounted for 80% of civilian deaths and 76% of injuries that year. Follow these tips to keep your home safe from fire hazards year-round. Cooking: Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling or broiling food. If you leave the kitchen for even a short period time, turn off the stove. Heating: Keep all things that can burn, such as paper, bedding or furniture, at least three feet away from heating equipment. Electrical: Replace cracked and damaged electrical cords; use extension cords for temporary wiring only. Consider having more circuits or receptacles added by a qualified electrician. Fire Prevention Week is actively supported by fire departments across the country. For 85 years fire departments have observed Fire Prevention Week, making it the longest running public health and safety observance on record.

Library speaks to Soroptimist Club about new facility plans Mary Ellen Farquhar and Peggy Boyd spoke to Soroptimist International of Seaford about plans for the new Seaford Library and Cultural Center on Sept. 17. This new facility will be constructed on property south of the Ross Mansion on Ross Station Road in Seaford. Boyd began the presentation with facts and statistics about the Seaford Library since it first opened in 1902. The library was founded by a group of women who formed the Acorn Club. Members of the club rotated shifts serving as librarian for one month until they hired a full-time librarian who was paid $1 per hour. Books were provided through the state library and private collections. In 1963 the present library was constructed on Porter Street at a cost of $100,000. In 1987 a 3,000-square foot addition including a community room was added to this building. The library currently houses a collection of over 60,000 books, videos, tapes and magazines. Boyd said that the size of the facility and the services the library offers must be expanded to meet the needs of the growing community of Seaford. The library has an average of 8,108 patron visits per month, and the new patron rate has increased 65 percent each year over the past three years, Boyd said. The library currently houses eight computers which are in constant use, Boyd said. In 2002, the total number of comput-

er sessions logged at the library totaled 2,600; in 2006 this number grew to 23,263. The new library will include a computer training room with 16 computers as well as 36 additional computers throughout the library. The library’s community room is also in high demand, according to Boyd. The current room can accommodate up to 75 people, but library events often attract well over 120 people. The new community room will hold up to 200. The library has launched a capital/endowment campaign and needs sponsors to help make this new facility possible. Seaford needs to raise $2.4 million to leverage a state match of 50 percent of the total $4.8 million construction cost. An additional $200,000 must be raised to cover the cost of furniture. As the new facility will be more than double the size of the current facility, operating expenses will increase significantly. To plan for this, the library committee and board of trustees project an annual increase of $300,000. This too must be factored in to overall costs. Groundbreaking for the new facility was Oct. 1. A fundraiser and construction kick-off event will be held on Saturday, Nov. 1. Call the Seaford District Library at 629-2524 to find out how to make a contribution.

Senior center holds fundraiser for building project On Thursday, Sept. 25, the Nanticoke Senior Center and presenting sponsor Carteret Mortgage of Seaford hosted a Basket Bingo fundraiser to raise funds for the senior center’s building fund. With the support of many corporate and community sponsors, the event brought in more than 100 bingo enthusiasts and raised more than $3,900. Over 20 Longaberger bingo baskets were awarded to participants. Arrangements for the baskets were provided by Longaberger Consultant Renee Morris. The 50/50 drawing was won by Marvin Carlin, a long-time senior center member. Joyce Higgins won the basket raffle drawing.

The event was arranged by senior center staff and the Seaford Red Hat Ladies Society, who helped solicit donations and served as organizers, greeters and hostesses. Members of the Key Club of Kiwanis assisted with the set up and breakdown of the event. The Nanticoke Senior Center hopes to make this a bi-annual tradition. The Nanticoke Senior Center provides social, educational and health related services designed to enhance the lives of more than 800 senior members. The center is developing plans for a new building designed to accommodate its growing membership.

Leeann Wells reads to a First Steps/Primeros Pasos student.

Sorority members take books to children in learning center Two members of the 12-member Laureate Epsilon Chapter 08 of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority of Seaford recently delivered boxes of books and read them to students of First Steps/Primeros Pasos Early Learning Center in Georgetown. First Steps/Primeros Pasos Early Childhood Learning Center is primarily geared to 3- and 4-year-olds who will enter public school in one or two years. The faculty is bilingual in English and Spanish and all learning activities are conducted in both languages. The curriculum emphasizes fluent English and Spanish language skills, pre-reading, including alphabet recognition, elementary counting, color and shape recognition and classroom behavior. Beta Sigma Phi, founded in 1931 to provide young women with culture and

social activity, has grown into an international organization encouraging members to help others. “In addition to social activities and providing an appreciation and enjoyment of the liberal arts, our sorority has become an enriching and intensifying inspirational experience,” explains Ginny Wright of Georgetown, one of the women delivering books for the children at the Early Learning Center. “Although Beta Sigma Phi is not a service organization, all our members are generous and in return, have experienced the joy of helping others.” Anyone interested in learning more about First Steps/Primeros Pasos or volunteering may contact Trudy Cole, program director, at (302) 856-7406 or by email at mrstrudygcole@yahoo.com.

Delaware acts with other states to protect water The Delaware Department of Justice announces that Delaware has joined eight other states and a Canadian province in filing a lawsuit against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for refusing to control transfers of water from one water body to another. The suit challenges an EPA regulation that exempts these transfers from the federal Clean Water Act. “The EPA’s regulation allows unregulated water transfers that could damage drinking water sources and water habitats,” stated State Solicitor Lawrence Lewis. “Through this lawsuit we are calling on the Court to invalidate this harmful regulation.” Transferring polluted water to another body of water can cause a host of environmental damage, from harming critical fishing streams to spreading invasive species in the Great Lakes. Courts have held that these water transfers require regulation under the Clean Water Act. Despite court rul-

ings, on June 9 the EPA issued its regulation exempting water transfers from the Clean Water Act’s requirements. The EPA’s regulation could allow numerous sources of pollution to go uncontrolled across the country. For example, sediment-laden water could be sent into clear drinking water reservoirs; chemicalladen waters could be dumped into waters used in farm irrigation; warm waters could be pumped into cold water habitats such as trout streams; salt water could be transferred into fresh water; and invasive species could be introduced into waters not yet infested. The lawsuit was filed in United State District Court for the Southern District of New York, with a companion filing in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. In addition to Delaware, the coalition of states filing suit includes Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Washington and the Canadian Province of Manitoba.

Nov. 2 walk will raise money to help feed the hungry ly locally. Cheryl Coffin, who helps coordinate the operation of the Seaford Community Food Closet, reports that more individuals have been served this year through September than were served in all of 2007. Individuals are screened and referred through social service agencies such as the Shipley State Service Center. According to Coffin, volunteers are seeing cases that have not been as frequent as before when primarily the chronically poor were referred. Now families facing recent unemployment and larger families are seeking assistance. Before volunteers would shop for items once a month, now there is a need to shop once a week. In order to highlight this need for donations and support, walkers for the Western Sussex County CROP Walk are asked to bring a canned good or food item to carry. This year the walk will begin at West Seaford Elementary and proceed through

The Western Sussex CROP Hunger Walk, which is planned for Sunday, Nov. 2, raises funds to help stop hunger and poverty right here in our community as well as around the world through self-help initiatives. Twenty-five percent of the funds raised will go to the food closets of participating communities, including the Seaford Community Food Closet at St. John’s United Methodist Church. This year, Western Sussex County and some 2,000 cities and towns nationwide are joining together in interfaith community CROP Hunger Walks around the theme, "We walk because they walk." According to U.S. and international reports, more than 862 million people in the world go hungry. In the United States, one in 10 households — including 11.7 million children — sometimes do not have enough food for regular meals. The need has also increased significant-

Seaford to the Pine Street entrance of St. John’s Church where walkers will be invited to present the food and pray for the elimination of world hunger. The community is also invited to meet walkers on the walk and donate food items along the way. In addition to people who can take pledges and walk, help is needed to take pledge money at the donation table and be available for cleanup. Walkers can bring pets to accompany them on the walk as long as they are carried or leashed. Children and youth are required to have adult supervision and signed parental permission on the pledge form in order to participate. In the event of rain, plans are being made to have the walk in a large, sheltered area. To support the Western Sussex CROP Walk, call John Blevins at 302-841-7450.

The Western Sussex CROP Walk will benefit the Seaford Community Food Closet at St. John's Church. The closet now needs to be refilled on a weekly basis.

asphalt. But my brain was frantically trying to decide between two options and, as if it has not grown up at all in the more than 30 years since I last fell off my bike, it chose the wrong one. I was in a canoe. A young man — actually a mere child, but since my life was in his hands I was willing to give him the benefit of age — had volunteered to take me across a pond and if I wanted, there was a paddle with which I could help him. Well sure, I could do that. I have been in boats before and while I had never actually paddled one, I understood that in general, in all modes of transportation, one wants to move forward. I picked up the paddle. Light, wooden, it felt natural in my hands. I aimed it toward the left side of the boat — port, one might say — and prepared to put it in the calm water. And I froze. My brain could not decide whether I should put the paddle in toward the front of the canoe and push back, or toward the back of the canoe and push forward. Sitting in my chair, facing the familiar keyboard, the choice is obvious: To go forward, one pushes the water back. But in the middle of the pond, with others watch-

ing and my co-canoer waiting for my contribution, I had no idea. Front, back, front, back — and as I did so many years ago, I opted for the wrong one. “Ma’am,” the young man said. I hate being called ma’am. “You have to do it the other way.” I did not fall in. I did not scrape a knee. But the degree of embarrassment was the same as it was the many times I had to pick myself up off that road. While I managed to paddle, and paddle effectively, for the rest of the trip, I was constantly glancing at my fellow traveler to make sure I was doing it right. After I told him about the experience, my husband lectured me on the physics of movement. I said I understood, and I do understand, how a canoe is propelled forward. I have also understood for many years that a wheel that is perpendicular to a gully will pass right over the gully with barely a bump. That understanding never translated into correct action. I can only hope that, the next time I am in a canoe, I don’t come upon a crossroads of waterways. A gallon of mercurochrome couldn’t help me then.

Bridgeville: Who would you like to see kiss a pig? By Lynn R. Parks

Bridgeville Police Chief Allen Parsons grew up on a pig farm. As a boy, he had to help take care of the farm’s six sows and their piglets, which could number in the teens. “I didn’t mind that,” said Parsons, whose family farm was near Laurel. “But I was never inclined to squat down and kiss one.” Not too many of us, except perhaps those whose idea of pigs comes strictly from Charlotte’s Web or Babe, are inclined to pucker up for a porcine. But that might be exactly what former pig farmer Parsons might have to do in Saturday’s Kiss the Pig contest, part of the Apple-Scrapple Festival in Bridgeville. The contest is being sponsored by the Bridgeville Public Library to raise money for construction of a new facility. “I’ve never been inclined to kiss a pig and I hope not to start now,” said Parsons. “But I guess if I’m chosen, I’m going to have to pucker up and do it.” Parsons is in the running for pig kissing honors with town commission president Joseph Conaway and Wood-

bridge School District superintendent Kevin Carson. The contestants were selected by a library committee, library director Karen Johnson said. Citizens are voting with their dollars for the man they would most like to see kiss a pig. Ruth Skala, treasurer of the Friends of the Bridgeville Library, declined to say Monday how much money the library had collected in the fundraiser so far. But she did say that state Rep. Benjamin Ewing had just sent in a donation in support of superintendent Carson. That donation, she said, put Carson in the lead. “If I’ve got to pucker up, I’ve got to pucker up,” said Carson Monday afternoon. “I think that anything that benefits the library building project is a good thing and if my participation can help, I’m happy to do it.” But he wasn’t ready to claim victory yet. “You never know what will happen between now and the final count,” he said. Conaway said that he is rooting for Carson to win. “I have aspirations for a lot of things in my life, but kissing a pig is not one of them,” he said.

“Kevin is a clear favorite.” Conaway declined to describe his strategy in the contest. But he did admit to some strong convincing of town employees to cast votes for a candidate other than him. “If I catch any of my employees voting for me, I’m going to fire them,” he joked. Parsons declined to say which of his opponents he would prefer to get to kiss the pig. “As long as it’s one of the

Dr. Kevin Carson

guys on either side of me, I don’t care,” he said. As for the pig, Kim VanDuskirk, manager of Keystone Swine Services, a 1,250-pig farm near Milton, said that she has already selected a 4-week-old barrow, or castrated male, to donate for the task. Following the kiss, the small pig will be donated to the Woodbridge High School FFA. The small pig, which has no choice in the matter, had nothing to say.

How the festival started

Apple and Scrapple are two items that put Sussex town on the map By Lynn Parks The Apple-Scrapple Festival was designed as a way to highlight two items that have put Bridgeville on the map. The apple part of Apple Scrapple will be featured at T. S. Smith and Sons’ packing house just north of town. The 800-acre T. S. Smith and Sons farm and orchard is Delaware’s oldest surviving commercial apple orchard, and one of only two commercial orchards in the state. Throughout the festival, the packing house will have baskets of apples for sale, as well as cider, apple butter, applesauce and apple doughnuts and cakes. As for scrapple, the Ralph and Paul Adams plant at Market Street and Railroad Avenue has been turning out

blocks of Rapa scrapple since 1926, when it was founded by brothers Ralph and Paul Adams; they derived the name for their scrapple from their names. Now owned by the Jones Dairy Farm based in Fort Atkinson, Wis., the plant makes four varieties of Rapa Scrapple: original, beef, bacon and hot and spicy. The Bridgeville plant also makes Habbersett, Greensboro and Jones Dairy scrapple. In addition to the Bridgeville Senior Center, Rapa donates scrapple to the Woodbridge High School Band Boosters scrapple sandwich booth as well as for the festival’s annual scrapple carving contest. In its first year, the Apple-Scrapple Festival attracted about 2,500 visitors. Last year, about 35,000 people attended the event.

Rides for children are one of the many attractions during the annual Apple Scrapple Festival in Bridgeville. Star Archive photo

In any event, Lloyd Eskridge and many others from my Phillies’ hat is off to these folks who, Laurel were known to arrive at Phillip’s through a strong sense of community and Landing in record time as teenagers. In the church, try to keep this tradition alive. 1960s DuPont picnics were held there and Think of how many plates of dumplings this place is as beautiful today as it was have been passed across those tables, the some 300 years ago when supposedly conversation among friends, some old, Captain John Smith took a little ride up some new, and the value of being together the Nanticoke. that make it one tradition we do not want Things continue to change around here to lose.

Mr. Pepper’s Pumpkin Patch

My wife Kay and I had planned all week to attend Centenary Church’s fall chicken and dumpling supper Saturday night. A phone call from my son and an invitation for dinner and chance to watch the Phillies together changed all that. I did, however, “slip in,” like those dumplings, to take a photo or two of the great local tradition of “church suppers,” as we call them here in Sussex County. The kitchen was a bevy of activity with plenty of workers. I think they were all workers who were there. These “suppers” go back as far as most of us can remember. From the very early days of our marriage it was St. George’s Church and its fall oyster and chicken dinner. Later my boys, as well as my parents and Kay’s parents and Ace and Libby Hines, attended with us. Howard Workman was always at the door to greet you and take your tickets. St. George’s, Mt.

‘God Thing’

Our country should not be surprised at the recent downturn of the nation’s economy, according to Pastor Timothy Jones of the Lighthouse Church of Laurel. According to Second Chronicles, God promises to heal a nation if we humble ourselves, pray and turn from what we as a nation have been doing. Pastor Jones is calling upon Delmarva’s churches to participate in 40 days of prayer and supplication starting on Oct. 14, and ending Nov. 23, to ask for God’s Divine Intervention, God’s wisdom and as a call for repentance. Pastor Jones is preparing to present a program designed to help people get out of debt, to help people achieve practical methods of living within one’s means, and finally achieve financial freedom. The doors of The Lighthouse Church will be open during certain hours of the day and evening so that anyone can come and pray.

Entertainment Pavlo to kick off concert season

Pavlo will be peforming Tuesday, Oct. 14 at 8 p.m. at Seaford High School.

Foundation celebrates anniversary

The Ward Foundation is celebrating its 40th anniversary as a charitable non-profit organization. Join the celebration from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 10, at the Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art, Salisbury University at its annual Eastern Shore Pig Roast. Guests receive a commemorative wine glass to toast the occasion. Established in

1968, the Ward Foundation has been dedicated to promoting wildfowl art and preserving the legacy of Eastern Shore decoy carvers, Lem and Steve Ward. Special exhibitions include the Wildfowl Carving and Art Exhibit held at the Salisbury Youth Civic Center, and the Ward World Championship Wildfowl Carving Competition held at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center in Ocean City. In 1976 the Ward Foundation estab-

Seaford Community Concert Association is starting their concert season with Pavlo, a dynamic composer, guitarist, and singer, who has created a unique style best described as “Mediterranean music.” The touring company is composed of five artists who will have the audience standing and applauding before the evening is over. Mixing the sounds of Greek Bouzouki with Flamenco and Latin influences has proven a winning combination, which Pavlo says was the “natural progression” of combining his Classical and Flamenco training with his passion for Greek and European sounds. Six acclaimed albums and one Juno award later (for “2004 World Artist of the Year”), Pavlo continues to grow in demand. With ever-increasing television and film credits, commissioned works and an

invitation to perform for His Royal Highness Prince Charles, Pavlo is fast blazing a path toward international superstardom. The first concert will be on Tuesday, Oct. 14, at 8 p.m., in the Seaford High School Auditorium. Memberships for the concert series are still available with adults at $50 and family memberships at $110. This season includes a big band on stage with a tribute to Benny Goodman and Peggy Lee, Dale Gonyea, in the Victor Borge style, The Side Street Strutters, a Dixieland band from Disneyland, Bronn & Katherine Journey, singer, harpist with classical humor, and finally the Mantini Singers, singing Broadway and your favorite songs with a close harmony. Membership may be obtained by calling 6296184 or 302-536-1384.

lished the Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art. From the beginning, the creation of the Ward Museum was a partnership between Salisbury University and the Ward Foundation. In 1992 the Ward Museum was built at Schumaker Pond where it remains today. In 2000, the Ward Foundation became an affiliated foundation of Salisbury University. Since then, the Ward Museum has thrived. Of the Ward Foundation’s many

recent successes, the expansion of its educational programs to serve over 12,000 students annually and the hosting of world-class exhibits and events are notable. Guests may also enjoy the offerings of the Chesapeake Wildfowl Expo, held Friday and Saturday, Oct. 10 and 11 at the Ward Museum. For more information, visit www.wardmuseum.org.

The Practical Gourmet

Put the potatoes into a large saucepan of salted boiling water and boil until cooked. While the potatoes are cooking, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Cut each chicken thigh into three strips and place in a bowl. Rub the meat all over with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper, then toss. Heat a large frying pan, big enough to hold all the chicken pieces snugly in one layer, and put the chicken into the pan, skin side down. If you don’t have a pan that’s big enough, feel free to cook the chicken in two batches.

Cut eggplants into quarters lengthways. If they’ve got seedy fluffy centers, remove them. Then cut the eggplants across the length into finger-sized pieces. Get a large non-stick pan nice and hot and add a little oil. Fry the eggplants in two batches, adding a little extra oil if you need to (but you don’t want to make it too greasy). Give the eggplants a toss so the oil coats every single piece and then sprinkle with some of the dried oregano. Using a pair of tongs, turn the pieces of eggplant until golden on all sides. Once you’ve

done the first batch, remove to a plate and do the same with the second batch. When the eggplants are all cooked, add the first batch back to the pan and add the dried red chile if you want. Turn the heat down to medium and add a little oil, the garlic and the basil stalks. Stir so everything gets evenly cooked, then add a swig of herb vinegar and the tins of tomatoes.

Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, then taste and correct the seasoning with salt and pepper. Tear up half the basil leaves, add to the sauce and toss around. Cook the spaghetti in a pan of salted boiling water according to the packet instructions. When it’s al dente, drain it in a colander, reserving a little of the cooking water, and put it back into the pan. Add the Norma sauce and a little

of the reserved cooking water and toss together back on the heat. Taste the pasta and adjust the seasoning, then divide between your plates by twizzling the pasta into a ladle for each portion. Any sauce left in the pan can be spooned over the top. Sprinkle with the remaining basil leaves and the grated cheese and drizzle with olive oil.

Injuries, lack of depth play a part in Laurel’s 27-7 road loss to Milford By James Diehl Midway through the second quarter in Milford last Friday night, Laurel freshman running back Chris Jones bolted down the middle of the football field for a 17-yard touchdown run, pulling the Bulldogs even with the hometown Buccaneers. Before half-time, however, he was on his way to the local hospital and an undermanned Laurel team eventually wore down, falling to Milford 27-7 in each team’s Henlopen South opener. “Milford made the plays when they had to tonight. We had them in third and long a lot of times, but they made the big plays and [converted],” Laurel Head Coach Ed Manlove said following the game. “We just have to keep getting better for the rest of the year.” Jones and senior fullback Tyler West presented a formidable twosome to the once-beaten Bucs before the injury in the second quarter exposed one of Manlove’s biggest concerns – his team’s lack of depth. “We went into this game missing a few people and that hurt us a little bit. But we were able to keep it together, then we started dropping like flies,” Manlove said. “We had a lot of kids hurt and we just didn’t perform the way I would have liked us to. It’s hard because we don’t have a lot of depth as it is and we lost six kids in the course of this game.” The game was billed as one of the best during the first week of divisional play with both Laurel and Milford entering the game with identical 3-1 records. Both teams have their eyes on the Delmar Wildcats and the Indian River Indians, who between them have had a stranglehold on the southern division of the Hen-

lopen Conference over the last decade. “We just can’t put our heads down yet. We have a lot of season left and we just have to go back and work harder,” said West. “We want to work on our flaws and try to end our season the right way.” Milford received the opening kickoff Friday night and methodically moved the ball down the field, running 11 plays and consuming nearly eight minutes of the clock before being stopped on fourth down at the Laurel 16-yard-line. After a nine play drive by the Bulldogs and the end of the first quarter, Milford got the ball back and wasted no time putting points on the board. On the first play of the second quarter, Milford’s junior quarterback Marcus Jones busted loose and ran all the way down to Laurel’s 12-yard-line. One play later, the Bucs were in the end zone to take an early 7-0 lead on the visiting Bulldogs. To their credit, Laurel answered right back. The Bulldogs needed only six plays to draw even in the game, mixing in runs by the speedy Jones and the bruising West. With just over three minutes gone in the second quarter, the game was tied 7-7 – Laurel’s quick answer was pivotal in their hopes of winning their Henlopen South opener. “At that point we were still in the game, but when Chris went down that kind of changed our game plan,” Manlove said. “We just didn’t step up. We try to stress to our kids to step up and make plays when you go in the game. We just didn’t get it done.” Laurel had the ball for just three plays in the rest of the first half, watching Milford again drive the ball down the field, Continued on page 49

Indian River runs past Delmar, 27-13, in Henlopen South battle By Mike McClure The Indian River varsity football team travelled to Delmar and won a key Henlopen South battle, 27-13, last Friday night. The Indians’ running game accounted for 323 yards and four touchdowns and proved to be too much for the Wildcats’ defense. Delmar started the game with the ball and put together the first scoring drive of the night. Kevin Forse completed a 31yard pass to Tyler Cornish and a 19-yard pass to Durante DeShields. Tevin Jackson capped the 68-yard drive with a two-yard touchdown run and Seth Benson booted the extra point to make it 7-0 with 7:40 left in the opening quarter.

Indian River came right back with a drive, which started on the Indians’ 31 yard line. Tyree Oliver had three carries for 40 yards and Cody Cooke added two carries for 19 yards before running it in from six yards out. Zach Izzo made the score 7-7 with 4:36 left in the first quarter. The Indians took advantage of good field position as they started with the ball on the Wildcat 33 following a punt. Cooke burst up the middle for an 11-yard gain on fourth and three to keep the drive alive. Cooke added an 11-yard run on third and seven and a one-yard touchdown run with Izzo’s extra point making it 14-7 with 10:08 left in the half. Continued on page 48

Delmar Sports Scene By Tommy Young

Milford receiver Jerrell Allen got just enough ahead Laurel’s Billy Yossick to catch a deep pass and give Milford great field position. Milford went on to win the home contest, 27-7. Photos by Daniel Richardson

Laurel football continued this time consuming 59 yards in 11 plays. The kill shot was a 27-yard option run on third and 20, setting Milford up at Laurel’s 20-yard-line. With 2:36 left in the first half, the Bucs went up 14-7 and nearly went up by two scores just before half-time, but a crucial unsportsmanlike conduct penalty inside the five yard line cost them just before the half. Two more long drives by Milford in the second half provided the final margin. “I have to give Milford credit,” Manlove said. “They came right at us and made the plays tonight.” The Bulldogs never really had an answer for Milford’s impressive ground at-

When Coach David Hearn was interviewed by another sports writer right after the Delmar football team had won its fourth straight game, he told him that before the season opened after four games he would have been happy with a 2-2 record for the simple reason that he was left with a group of young, inexperienced payers because of the loss of most of last year’s undefeated team through graduation. The list read like this: all four linebackers, one of the Conference’s outstanding runners, two All-Conference ends, and a very good do-everything quarterback, and all of these players played both ways: offense and defense. This was the reason for his present squad did not get the playing time Hearn’s subs usually get. Then, there was the fact that the first three games were played on the road, which is always a disadvantage. Then came last Friday night’s game with Indian River, who was also undefeated, and the Wildcat’s youth and inexperience showed up as they lost their first game of the season 27-13. Although the Delmar boys followed the same pattern they have all season allowing their opponents to score most of their points in the first half and shutting them down in the second half, then the Delmar offense was to do their thing and

score enough to win the game. Indian River scored 21 of their 27 points the first half while Delmar only put 13 points on the scoreboard. However, this is where the plan went awry amiss as Delmar failed to score in the second half. Although they moved the ball well until they got down in the red zone and were stopped, twice inside the 10-yard line. They did score on a 20-yard pass play at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but it was nullified by a motion penalty in the Delmar backfield. This would have gotten Delmar to within seven points of the Indian River score with plenty of time left on the clock, but it turned out to be the Wildcats’ last chance to get back in the game. This was my bird’s eye view of the game, and I did it this way because our sports editor Mike was there and I thought he would give the blow by blow description of the whole game. My final thought on the game is they were beaten by a more experienced team, but they put up a good fight, and there was really only one touchdown difference in the two teams. The Wildcats have five more games on the schedule. Win them and then see how the other teams do because it is high school football, and the outcome is sometimes surprising.

tack. The Bucs finished the game with more than 300 yards rushing on just 47 carries, averaging more than six yards per carry. West led the way for Laurel, finishing with 14 carries for 94 yards. Jones added 55 yards on seven carries and a touchdown before injuring his ribs in the second quarter. Josh Kosiorowski had six tackles, one assist, and an interception; Nick Munoz recorded eight tackles; Kline Valentin and Billy Yossick each had seven tackles; and Gaven Parker added five tackles, one assist, and a sack. Milford improves to 4-1 with the win while Laurel drops to 3-2. The Bulldogs battle Easton High School this week in non-conference play.

Lou Thibault blazes in Super Pro win Sunday at U.S. 13 By Charlie Brown Lou “Firewalker” Thibault of Millsboro blazed to the final round win in Super Pro Sunday at the U.S. 13 Dragway.

Thibault faced long time competitor, Billy Groton of Seaford in the Super Pro final. Groton, in his ’67 Pontiac got a big spot at the start over Thibault’s seven seconds dragster but both racers would run under their dial-ins at the finish. Thibault got the win with a 7.388/179.24 on a 7.39 dial. Groton was out by more with an 11.566/115.44 on an 11.59 dial. Semi-finalist was Ben Parks of Salisbury. Quarter-finalists were David Lowe of Salisbury and Bobby Insley of Crisfield. The Pro final matched Andre Blades against Jim Williams of Seaford. It was a very close finish with Blades taking the win with a 10.823/121.91 on a 10.81 dial. Williams was right there with a 9.624/131.44 on a 9.61 dial. Semi-finalists were Michael Miller of Harrington and Tim Foskey, Jr. of Rhodesdale, Md. Quarter-finalists were Vance Owens of Georgetown, Tim Sinclair of Princess Anne, and Ryan Groton of Salisbury. Gary Witcher rode up against Mykl Johnson of Delmar, Md. in the Pro Bike final. It was another close race with Witcher riding to the win with a 9.367/143.54 on a 9.35 dial. Johnson had a solid 12.890/99.84 on a 12.88 dial. Semi-finalist was Ron Fensick, Jr. of Bridgeville. Bryan Gray had the better reaction and defeated Barry Williams of Greensboro, Md. in the Street Eliminator final. Gray had a .024 reaction and ran an 11.907/109.01 on an 11.89 dial while Williams broke out with an 11.003/122.91 on an 11.03 dial. In Import it was Brian Riebert, Jr. over Matt Fry of Millsboro. Fry had a red light foul and Riebert ran a 15.997/88.26 on a 15.85 for the win. In Bike Trophy it was Irvin Bonneville once again taking the win this time over Bruce Alexander of Delmar, Md. Alexander had the better reaction but was off his dial and Bonneville took the win with a 14.620/74.81 on a 14.55 dial. Alexander ran a 15.572/73.95 on a 15.24 dial. Kody Mariner was paired against Taylor Cox of Mardela Springs in the Jr. Dragster 1 final. Cox left too early and fouled and Mariner got the win with an 8.929/73.90 on an 8.92 dial. In Jr. Dragster 2 it was an all-female final with Allison Trice facing Amy Jo Jackson of Newark, Md. Jackson had a red light foul and Trice took the victory with a 7.919/83.54 on a 7.90 dial. The Cheswold Connection racers were in action on Sunday with Laura Hershberger in her ’08 Mustang facing Bob Turnbaugh of Felton in his ’04 Mustang. Turnbaugh had a red light foul and Hershberger coasted to the win with a 16.021/71.37 on a 14.20 dial. This Sunday they will turn off the electronics for the Footbrake Nationals.

Health Nemours Conference will share ideas to improve health of kids The 2008 Nemours Conference on Child Health Promotion is Thursday, Oct. 23 and Friday, Oct. 24 at the Hotel duPont in Wilmington. Why should we care? Consider these facts. • The percentage of overweight children ages 6 to 11 has more than doubled over the past 20 years, from 7% in 1980 to 19% in 2004. Among teens, obesity has more than tripled over the past 20 years, from 5% to 17%. • The health consequences of obesity are profound. Obesity can lead to diabetes, high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol, asthma, cancers, fatty liver disease, sleep apnea, anxiety, and depression. Obesity affects virtually every aspect of one’s health. • As a result of the health risks associated with childhood obesity, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) predict that our current generation of children may be on course to have a shorter life expectancy than their parents. If you work with, care for, or care about children — perhaps as a child care provider, school nurse, teacher, healthcare professional, community, business, or government leader —the Nemours Conference on Child Health Promotion offers valuable information and ideas from Delaware and

national experts. Some of the country’s foremost leaders in child health policy, health promotion, and obesity prevention will share knowledge and tools for improving the health of children in our communities. The conference features more than 40 speakers and 17 workshops over one and a half days, all dedicated to making a difference in the lives of children. Speakers of note include Dan Heath,

author of Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die; Geoffrey Canada, president and CEO of the Harlem Children’s Zone; and Sally Squires, an awardwinning medical and health writer. Nemours Health & Prevention Services (NHPS), a division of Nemours, and host of the conference, invites everyone to join the “Campaign to Make Delaware’s Kids the Healthiest in the Nation.” It’s up to all of us to transform the way we live so that

it is easy for children to make healthy choices. With approximately 36% of our children and youth either overweight or obese, this epidemic has a significant impact on the state's economy, currently costing Delaware at least $207 million in medical expenditures every year. That’s just one more reason to care. To find out more about the conference, visit www.GrowUpHealthy.org.

Family Court seeks volunteers for CASA The Court Appointed Special Advocate Program (CASA) of the Family Court is expanding its efforts to represent the interest of abused and neglected children in court and needs qualified adults to serve as CASA volunteers. CASA volunteers are trained members of the community who are appointed by Family Court Judges to speak up for the best interests of abused and neglected children in Court proceedings. As an official of the Court, the CASA volunteer conducts an independent inves-

tigation into the child’s life and provides information and recommendations to the judge in the case. CASA volunteers work with attorneys, social workers, and family members to attain the goal of a safe and permanent home for each child. CASA volunteers have varied professional, educational and ethnic backgrounds. They are selected on the basis of their objectivity, competence and commitment. Volunteers must complete five days of initial training. Casework supervision is provided by full-time program coordi-

nators from the Family Court staff. Program attorneys provide legal advice and represent CASA in court proceedings. In the last year, CASA volunteers served over 600 children in Delaware. Yet, many of Delaware’s abused and neglected children still have no independent voice in court. For information on the Sussex County CASA program, call the CASA office in Family Court at 302-739-7410 or 302739-7411. The next training program will be held on Oct. 20, 23, 27, 28 and 31.

Important steps to take after handling animals By Anthony Policastro, M.D There are a lot of unusual diseases that animals can carry. There are a lot of places where exposure to those diseases can take place. That can be at a city zoo. That can be a petting zoo. That can be at the State fair. That can be at livestock exhibits. That can be in pet stores. That can be at pony rides. For example, elephants, giraffes, rhinoceroses and buffaloes can carry tuberculosis. Many different animals can carry Salmonella. These include reptiles, hamsters and pet rodents. Rabbits can carry a cause of diarrhea called Giardia. A chart published in the most recent issue of Pediatrics listed guidelines for prevention of diseases when coming in contact with animals in public settings. The first recommendation of washing hands immediately after contact with animals is the most important one. Immediately means exactly what it says. You need to wash your hands before you touch your mouth. You need to wash your hands before you touch your nose. You need to wash your

hands before you touch something else to keep the germs alive. Like anything else that we do, we can prevent infections from animals. We just need to be careful about it. Some other guidleines in the chart include: • Supervise hand-washing for children younger than 5 y • Wash hands after handling animal-derived pet treats • Never bring wild animals home, and never adopt wild animals as pets • Teach children never to handle unfamiliar, wild, or domestic animals even if the animals appear friendly • Avoid rough play with animals to prevent scratches or bites • Children should not be allowed to kiss pets or put their hands or other objects into their mouths after handling animals • Do not permit nontraditional pets to roam or fly freely in the house or allow nontraditional or domestic pets to have contact with wild animals • Do not permit animals in areas where food or drink are prepared or consumed • Administer rabies vaccine to mammals as appropriate • People at increased risk of infection or serious complications of salmo-

nellosis (eg, children younger than 5 y, older adults, and immunocompromised hosts) should avoid contact with animal-derived pet treats • Keep animals clean and free of intestinal parasites, fleas, ticks, mites, and lice • Animals visiting schools and child-care facilities • Designate specific areas for animal contact • Display animals in enclosed cages or under appropriate restraint • Do not allow food in animal-contact areas • Always supervise children, especially those younger than 5 y, during interaction with animals • Obtain a certificate of veterinary inspection for visiting animals and/or proof of rabies immunization according to local or state requirements • Properly clean and disinfect all areas where animals have been present • Consult with parents or guardians to determine special considerations needed for children who are immunocompromised or who have allergies or asthma • Ensure that people who provide animals for educational purposes are knowledgeable regarding animal handling and zoonotic disease issues

Headaches prevention at work Experiencing headaches at work is not only painful for employees, but can be costly to employers according to the National Headache Foundation (NHF). In a recent survey of headache sufferers, the NHF found that 99 percent of respondents experience headaches while on the job. Respondents say headaches lead to missed days of work, decreased productivity, inability to concentrate, and changes in mood or behavior. While half of all survey respondents reported missing anywhere from 1-3 days of work per month because of their headaches, 66 percent of them do not report their headaches to their supervisors. When asked why, most respondents said they feel their supervisor wouldn’t be sympathetic or accommodating or they don’t want to be labeled as “needy” or “whiny.” Additionally, 86 percent of respondents said the issue of work-related headaches has never been addressed at their place of employment. Ninety-three percent said that information on work-related headache treatment or prevention is not available through their employer.

“Many who suffer from headaches at work feel their employers or co-workers won’t understand the severity of their condition,” said Dr. Nabih Ramadan, board member, National Headache Foundation. “If you experience headaches on the job, talk with your healthcare provider about what triggers your pain to determine the best treatment options, You can also encourage your employer to learn more about headaches and their profound negative impact on workplace performance.” When asked what triggers headaches at work, nearly 70 percent of the respondents attributed their pain to work-related stress. A larger majority also associated bright or florescent lighting, computer glare or eye strain with their headaches. Additional NHF survey results: • 92 percent of respondents said they work outside their home. • 90 percent of respondents said headaches have affected their performance at work. • 73 percent of respondents said they take an over-thecounter product when experi-

encing a headache at the workplace. NHF’s Tips to dealing with headaches at the workplace: • Get help. Discuss the connection between your headaches and work with your healthcare provider. He or she can help you determine your treatment options. • Track your headaches. Using a headache diary, track your headaches for three months. Download a free headache diary at www.headaches.org and bring your results to your healthcare professional to review and determine whether your headaches are associated with workplace triggers. • Eliminate florescent lighting. • Use a non-glare computer screen. • Use loose telephone head set instead of phone receiver. • Take frequent breaks. • Utilize ergonomically designed work spaces.

Letters to the Editor Federal stimulus tax refund went to everyone except 17-year-olds

I am writing regarding the 2008 stimulus tax refund. Nobody can tell me why a certain age group was discriminated against, and got no refund even though federal taxes were paid. Others who have paid no taxes in years got a refund from the rest of us who paid taxes. Seventeen–year-old high school students, some juniors, some seniors, were eliminated. If the child was born after Sept. 1 of 1990, he/she was a junior last year, senior this year, which means the parents supported them all of 2007 and 2008. Others were seniors in 2008. I can’t believe there has been nothing in the media about this. I contacted our Congressman and got a copy of the bill. I could and already read they were eliminated, but my question of “Why?” was ignored. I called three editors, who apparently were not interested and did not follow up on it. Aren’t there any interested parents who have pursued this issue? Did everybody just accept this $300 loss and say nothing? I am sure there are those who needed that extra money. I don’t understand why its been swept under the carpet. Our U.S. senators, who passed the law, won’t give me an answer — one, who now is too busy to be bothered with his Delaware residents. Was everybody happy with this discriminating action? Barbara Taylor

Advocacy group advises against Wall Street bailout On behalf of the hundreds of homeowners who continue to lose their homes to the foreclosure crisis in Delaware, the Delaware Community Reinvestment Action Council Inc. vehemently opposes the $700 billion bailout bill proposed by the Bush administration, unless it first addresses the foreclosure crisis affecting millions of Americans. “Please do not consider returning to Delaware until you get the business of Delawareans taken care of,” says Rashmi Rangan, executive director of DCRAC to Delaware’s congressmen in Washington. The $700 billion proposal is the latest and most expensive in a series of financial system liquidity interventions that fail to address the core problem undermining the financial system and destabilizing the economy. Declining assets in the form of foreclosures are dragging down the economy, and continued lopsided attempts to provide liquidity to financial institutions will not resolve the issue. “The foreclosure crisis is the problem,” said DCRAC chairman Domenic Pedante. Describing the ineffective solutions, he added, “The answer seems to be adding layers of brick to heighten the levee when the foundation has cracks. When the tide comes in, the levee will break.” The board of directors of the National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC) met with chairman Ben

Bernanke, vice chairman Donald Kohn and governors Randall Krozner and Elizabeth Duke on Sept. 22 at the Federal Reserve in Washington, DC. Rangan, also an NCRC board member, is concerned that Depression-era solutions are being considered 80 years later, when the world has changed. “What the bailout will do is likely make a home in Wilmington very attractive to a buyer abroad,” she said. “Our landlords could well reside in a nation half the world away.” “Assisting homeowners to stay in their homes would have been a more effective and equitable way to prevent the collapse of financial institutions and seizure of the credit markets,” said National Community Reinvestment Coalition president and CEO John Taylor. “In addition to keeping the economy strong, doing so would have allowed millions of working families to maintain their homes.” The Delaware Community Reinvestment Action Council is a tax exempt, charitable nonprofit organization whose mission is to ensure equal access to credit and capital for the underserved populations and communities throughout Delaware through education, outreach, advocacy and legislation. Founded in 1987, DCRAC was awarded the Standards for Excellence Seal of Excellence in 2007.

Candidate Semper cares about the average person on Main Street

With all the problems in Washington regarding the $700 billion bailout and hearing how the fat cats lined their pockets with millions of dollars, it’s hard to know who to trust anymore. What happened to helping the average people on main street? Doesn't anybody care? I can tell you that there is somebody who cares about us because he is one of us and his name is Jerry Semper. I have listened and talked to him many times regarding the problems in our 39th district and if you want real change then vote for Jerry “Doc” Semper, Democrat for the 39th district. I know we are.

Semper would look out for owners of manufactured home

In June 2004, my wife and I retired to a landlease community in Seaford. After being promised only an occasional $5 to $10 increase,we have now been assessed over $100, plus this last time, an

additional $120, due to “land value.” After attending meetings of the Delaware Manufactured Home Owners Association, representing residents of over 250 such communities, we find these erratic increases to be the norm for many years, forcing some homeowners to move and many to just abandon their homes, thanks to greedy, uncaring landowners. Fortunately, in our community, lives a man, Jerry “Doc” Semper, a tireless volunteer who organized a group of neighbors and friends to hold adult and children functions, charity events for free school supplies, yard sales, volunteers for shopping, doctor visits for those who need these services, etc. After getting to know Jerry Semper and his background in criminal law, as a decorated NYPD police officer, teacher, professor and more, we convinced Jerry to run as representative for our 39th district. He will be a powerful voice in manufacturing home legislation and is very sympathetic to smart growth and land use, jobs, crime prevention, police department, fire department, seniors, traffic, and all 39th District’s concerns. Isn’t it time to have a voice in the state legislature ? A vote for Jerry “Doc” Semper in the upcoming Nov. 4 election is a vote for all of us! Please register and vote for Jerry “Doc” Semper.

Forum on the Nanticoke will describe its beauty and its troubles Biologists will speak Oct. 23, at Seaford library A report card on the health of the Nanticoke Watershed will be presented at a public forum on Thursday, Oct. 23, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Seaford Public Library. The forum is free and open to anyone interested in learning more about the watershed's diverse ecological resources wetlands, habitats and wildlife species — and the stressors that impact its environmental health. The Nanticoke Watershed is an area of exceptional biodiversity. Located primarily in western Sussex County, the watershed includes the land area that expands from as far north as Harrington, south to Delmar and east to Georgetown. At the forum, DNREC's Division of Water Resources will present the results of an extensive wetland assessment and monitoring program completed in cooperation with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. DNREC's Division of Fish and Wildlife will present information on the migratory bird species and the rare and uncommon amphibians and reptiles that inhabit the watershed. In collaboration with other conservation agencies, DNREC is designing a restoration plan for the watershed. Displays and information, highlighting restoration and protection projects,

landowner incentives and financial assistance opportunities, will be exhibited by several organizations– the Division of Fish and Wildlife Landowner Incentive Program; Division of Soil and Water Conservation; Adopt-a-Wetland; Natural Resources Conservation Service; The Nature Conservancy; Ducks Unlimited; Nanticoke River Watershed Conservancy; Delaware Forest Service; and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Easy tips on the everyday things people can do to protect the watershed will be provided. Guidebooks, covering restoration options and the health of the watershed, the value of wetlands, and the ways people can improve their backyard habitat, will be available. Each attendee will receive one free native tree or shrub for planting this fall. Walk-ins are welcome, but seating is limited, so registration is strongly encouraged by Tuesday, Oct. 14 by contacting Rebecca Rothweiler, Division of Water Resources, 302-739-9939 or Lynne Staub, Division of Fish and Wildlife, 302-7353600.

special education for those with special needs and the cost of teachers. The state funds up to 80% of school construction and a large majority of the school’s payroll. When your unemployment runs out, the federal government steps in with another 16 weeks worth of checks. Businesses are taxed to support the state’s share of unemployment benefits. In the area where I am proud to pay my taxes, and for others it is a sore subject, is assistance to those who try to survive but need help. Too many young girls today are becoming single parents, while their sperm donors walk off into the sunset. Many are left with no education or job and cannot afford to work because of the cost of baby sitting. They usually cannot afford a car to get to work because of the cost of insurance, fuel, and maintenance. The government sends them to school to learn a trade or to learn the fundamentals of working a minimum wage job while giving them insurance and food stamps as long as they stay in school, yes with our tax dollars. The end result is they come off welfare and are given status of a

productive citizen. Yes, all systems are abused, but that is the fault of those who oversee the program. The intent is to help those who seek help. Call me a bleeding liberal, but I feel my heart is in the right place. Oh, I forgot, you’re going to pay taxes for the $700 billion payout just announced by President Bush to the bankrupt Lehman Brothers that the government purchased 85% of recently and to cover the failed mortgages and home closures. You are also going to pay for the $11 trillion debt amassed by the Bush Administration in their eight years. The only difference in who pays is: if McCain is elected those of you earning under $250,000 are going to pick up the bulk of the tab. If you earn less than that amount, you will still be paying taxes, but this time the rich will be paying their fair share. And of course we must pay the government employees. Did I tell you Bill Clinton left the White House to George Bush with a $559 billion surplus? (Source: Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia on Google.)

The thought of having to wait for cold water to heat on the stove before getting a bath or washing up, would be something akin to a root canal. I cannot even fathom that I used to watch my mother cooking on a stove that had the potential of running out of gas at any given moment. We would then have to scrounge up a quarter to put in the gas meter out on the porch. I wonder if kids today could bear to

I have to be honest; life is more convenient today with the many opportunities we have to enjoy true comforts. But, I am so happy to have the memories of life lived with the mere basics. However, I am also happy to call them the good OLD days.

Gas Lines The Week Ahead “AAA expects the national average price of gas will drop significantly this fall, with a possible return to $3 per gallon,” said Catherine L. Rossi, manager, Public and Government Affairs, AAA Mid-Atlantic. “The national price of gas would be even lower than it is now if not for continuing gasoline outages in the southeast U.S.” The Georgia Governor’s office estimates that normal fuel supply levels will not return for another two weeks.

Police Journal Bicyclist killed on U.S. 13

A bicyclist was killed Tuesday night when he rode his bike into the path of a car traveling north on U.S. 13 in Laurel. Police said that the bicyclist, James E. Curtis, 59, of Laurel was not wearing a helmet and his bike had no lights on it. According to Delaware State Police, Norma S. Buhram, 53, of West Chester, Pa., was driving a 2004 Honda CRV north on U.S. 13. At approximately 10:14 p.m., just south of Sycamore Road in an unlit area, Curtis crossed through the center grass median and rode directly into her path. Two passengers in the car, an 11-yearold girl and an 8-year-old girl, both of whom were properly seated in booster seats, received minor glass cuts and were treated at a local hospital and released. Buhram, who was wearing a seat belt, was not injured. Alcohol is not a factor on Buhram’s behalf, police said. Whether Curtis had been drinking is unknown, police added. The crash remains under investigation.

Faulty cord blamed for fire

The state fire marshal’s office has determined that a fire that caused $500 in damaged to a vacant Seaford area home was started by a faulty extension cord. The fire occurred on Thursday, Oct. 2, at 9:59 p.m. in the 24000 block of King Road in Seaford. The Seaford Fire Department responded to the scene and was assisted by the Blades Fire Department. Upon arrival, firefighters saw smoke coming from the building. No injuries were reported in the fire. The home was not equipped with working smoke detectors. State fire marshal investigators said that the faulty extension cord ignited nearby combustible materials.

House sustains $40,000 in damages A fire in a Greenwood home caused $40,000 in damages to the structure, the state fire marshal’s office said. The fire occurred on Tuesday, Sept. 30, at 5:33 p.m. in the 7900 block of Greenwood Road in Greenwood.

The Greenwood Fire Department responded to the scene and was assisted by the Bridgeville and Farmington fire departments. Upon arrival, firefighters encountered fire in the kitchen. No injuries were reported in the fire. The home was equipped with working smoke detectors. State fire marshal investigators have determined that the fire originated in the kitchen and was caused by an appliance malfunction.

Man charged in Seaford bank heist Police have arrested a Smyrna man in connection with a Sept. 16 robbery at Citizens Bank in Seaford. The suspect, Scott C. Secrest, 37, is also being held in connection with a robbery at a bank in Elkton, Md. The Seaford robbery occurred on Sept. 16 at 2:42 p.m. Seaford Police responded to a robbery alarm at the bank on Sussex Highway in Seaford. Police said that Secrest, 37, of Smyrna, gave a note to a teller that announced a robbery and demanded money. After the teller gave Secrest an undisclosed amount of cash, he left the bank, police said. Secrest reportedly got into the passenger side of a white four-door Cadillac operated by an unknown individual and fled the scene, traveling south on Sussex Highway. Officers searched the area for Secrest with no success. The Seaford Police Department Criminal Investigations Division and the Delaware State Police, along with other law enforcement agencies, received information linking Secrest to this bank robbery. As a result, a warrant was obtained for Secrest's arrest. On Friday, Oct. 3, Secrest was arrested in the Smyrna area and charged with bank robbery, second-degree conspiracy and disorderly conduct. He was transported to the Seaford Police Department, processed and taken to Justice of the Peace Court #4 where he was committed to the Department of Corrections in lieu of $4,600 cash bond.

LAUREL AND DELMAR SOCIALS SARAH MARIE TRIVITS • 875-3672

Congratulations to Lindsey and Shawn Elliott on the birth of a baby girl, Sept. 30. When she arrived, she weighed 7 pounds, 2 ounces and was 20 and 1/2 inches long. At home waiting to welcome her were two big brothers, Shawn and Ethan. A baby shower for Amy Messick was hosted for her by family and friends at the Grotto Pizza party room in Seaford on Sept. 21. The new arrival is expected in early November. The Alfred Laytons generously loaned their home for the occasion of a musical tea as a fund raiser for Patrick Starr. The afternoon included a delightful tea and music by the Tri-State Chorus, Evrette Hart’s harmonica solo and piano selections by Suzanne Layton, and all of this on a pretty, September afternoon. The family of Patrick expresses thanks to the Laytons, the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, and other civic clubs and friends for their generous donations of both time and money given for this cause. Patrick, who is the son of Laurel’s Marge Starr, remains hospitalized in a Baltimore facility for rehab and though progress is slow there are also signs of slight improvement. His mother leaves here periodically to visit him there. In last week’s column concerning the Melson’s Church Bazaar on Oct. 18, it failed to note that at the 11 a.m. auction, there will be a 62- by 62-inch handmade quilt up for sale. These

are always very valuable items. Roger Layfield of Lighthouse Point, Fla., was a recent visitor to the home of Mr. and Mrs. David West in the Melson’s area of Delmar. Friends of the Laurel Library met on Tuesday, Sept. 30, to make plans for their coming season and fund-raising for the children’s reading programs. They installed a new president of their board, Steven Norton, and continued with an agenda for the year. Their first event will be a winter tea to be held in early December and more details will appear here (if I survive the fall ) at a later date.

To Robert Wheatley a belated greeting for on Oct. 6, and to Golda Williamson on Oct. 13, happy birthdays from all your friends around here.

On Oct. 16, at the Laurel Library’s community room, there will be a program concerning Delaware during World War II. The speaker will be Dr. Gary D. Wray and of great interest will be the topic concerning the surrender of a German submarine off Lewes, a subject that many off us perhaps never knew about, or the aftermath. Join us then at 7 p.m.

Happy October birthday wishes to: Doris Shenk and Natasha Singleton on Oct. 9; Jay Feldman, Jane L. Givens and Rachel Waller, Oct. 10; Kathleen Coulbourne, Oct. 11; Barbara Messick, Barbara Buffington and Charles Schultes, Oct. 12; Margaret Moore and Golda Williamson, Oct. 13; Bryan Norris, H. Rick Elliott, Vernon Perdue and Collette Saunders, Oct. 14.

To Shawn Messick Oct. 9, happy birthday with love from Mom and Skyler. We express our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of: June Marie Dorrell, Keith David Ward, Carlton D. Pepper, Benjamin Cooper Coleman, Iona M. Whitley, Pauline Hearn, Larry W. McBroom and Kenneth F. Faist.

Opinion Editorial Dental health a vital concern It’s not an obvious leap from tooth decay to heart disease and premature births. But the link between dental disease and other diseases is there and now, during National Dental Hygiene Month, is a good time to understand that link. The American Dental Association says that the mouth has an important role in keeping the rest of the body healthy. According to a report written by the U.S. Surgeon General, dental disease is “a silent epidemic” that, in addition to heart disease and premature births, is also connected with increased rates of diabetes and cancer. Among children, the report says, dental disease is related to poor school performance and poor social relationships. Sadly, the Surgeon General calls dental disease “the most chronic childhood disease today.” A 2002 survey conducted by the Delaware Department of Health found that more than 50 percent of our third-grade students have a history of tooth decay. The Delaware Oral Health Coalition was formed in February 2007 to help reduce the high level of dental disease among children in Delaware. Its mission is to “provide leadership and advocacy so that the people of Delaware can access affordable, quality oral health care with emphasis on early prevention and maintenance contributing to total health and well being.” The coalition is working to increase awareness about the importance of good oral health and its relationship to good overall health, provide education about good oral health practices and improve access to dental health providers. The good news about tooth decay is that it is totally preventable, with regular brushing, flossing and dental checkups. The bad news, the coalition says, is that many communities don’t know about the benefits of good oral health and don’t have enough dentists to meet their needs. In October, the coalition is launching phase one of its Healthy Smile Healthy You awareness campaign. Watch for its events, which will focus on the importance of good oral health and its relationship to good overall health throughout the community.

Letters to the Editor Should Biden be in race?

Now I know why Joe Biden refused to debate me all summer. He has no intention of even campaigning for his U.S. Senate seat, taking his re-election for granted. Biden thinks he’s engineering a scenario in which Ruth Ann and he will hand pick our next U.S. Senator. He is denying Delaware voters their right to cast a vote for who they want to represent us. While this is an affront to the democratic process of actually electing our representatives, it presents a great opportunity for Republicans. When the ether wears off, Delawareans will be asking, “What about Delaware?” The U.S. Senate should not be a fallback career. A WILM radio survey revealed that three out of four Delawareans think Joe Biden should withdraw from the U.S. Senate race now that he is also running for vice president. In just one year while the Democrats controlled Congress, our federal deficit has tripled, gas prices have doubled and the inflation rate is at a record high. The real tragedy is that it was preventable, if Congress was willing to make the right, yet unpopular, decisions. I’ll fight to bring prosperity to our household budgets by never voting to raise taxes. I’ll fight to lower gas prices by supporting domestic drilling. I’ll fight to stop the Global Tax, a United Nations tax on America’s GNP that Biden pushed through the Foreign Relations Committee without a public hearing. Christine O’Donnell

Markell will help Delaware

I had the privilege of meeting Jack Markell in July during his “57 Towns in 57 Hours” tour. I explained my concerns to him about being unable to afford healthcare insurance. He acknowledged them and explained his plans for Universal Healthcare for all Delawareans which would include subsidies to help low income families afford coverage. This gave me hope.

I went on to tell him of my love for nature and how I enjoy living in a rural area. I don’t want to see wildlife and natural habitats like those found in the Nanticoke River Watershed adversely affected by overdevelopment. He assured me that he too cares about environmental issues and believes in sensible development. He always looked me straight in the eye and never hesitated when speaking. Whenever I saw him again he recognized me and greeted me as a friend. I became a volunteer for his campaign. I have come to regard him as an honest, compassionate, intelligent man who truly cares about helping Delaware and its citizens. I will proudly cast my vote for Jack Markell for governor on Nov. 4.

Trip to memorial

I would like to thank the Delaware Police Chiefs’ Council for the wonderful trip to see the WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C. On the morning of Sept. 23, we were treated to coffee and donuts at the Delaware State Police Headquarters. We then boarded the bus to Bridgeville to pick up more WWII veterans, left Bridgeville for D.C. with a police escort and arrived at RFK Stadium to meet the buses from northern Delaware. We left RFK Stadium with police escorts, motorcycles and cars for our trip to the Memorial. We arrived at the Memorial and had services with Representative Castle and other speakers. On our way home, we stopped at a Country Buffet in Annapolis, Md. for a fine free lunch and arrived back in Dover between 5 and 6 p.m. This was a well planned trip that was coordinated between all of the police departments. I would never have taken such a trip on my own. I’ve never seen so much traffic in my life. Everyone was very polite and respectful. They gave us a WWII hat, name tags, pins and a letter from Congress signed by

Vote for Barack Obama

The financial crisis we are now experiencing began a while ago. Two years ago Senator Obama recognized that a storm was brewing and introduced legislation to crack down on the abuses that he was witnessing in the financial industry. At this time Senator McCain was only interested in loosening the rules governing the financial industry. Mr. McCain has said frequently that he does not like regulation. In the 1930’s in the midst of the Great Depression and following many bank failures, Congress put these regulations in place to prevent a future financial meltdown. In 1999, Congress was in Republican hands. In 1999, Senator Phil Gramm, who was until recently a co-chair of John McCain’s presidential campaign and his most senior economic advisor, spearheaded a bill to loosen these regulations which had protected us for over 60 years. Economists believe that this success is directly related to our current problems. Mr. McCain and many others in the Republican Party would also like to privatize Social Security. Will you sleep well at night if your Social Security is invested in the stock market? Unemployment is rising, savings are disappearing, bankruptcies are increasing and the Republican Party has been in charge of Congress for over 20 years. A vote for John McCain is a vote for more of the same. Senator Obama is working hard to protect the interests of the middle class, as he has done his entire career. I am voting for Obama and I hope you will too. Ann Nolan

Calio sets politics aside for a cross country trip I’ve always wanted to see the Grand Canyon. Well, I’m in Phoenix visiting daughter #1 and hopefully we’ll be there this weekend. I can’t believe that trip will top the one we took the past weekend to Camp Verde where we took a four-hour train ride deep into the mountains where the mountains were a very deep red and beautifully sculptured. Then on a Clarkdale ranch we enjoyed a country chow down eating out of tin plates and cups followed by great western entertainment. Next was a day trip to Verde, a small town until their red hills were discovered; now it is a booming town. I was breathless all day going from scenic lookouts shooting more than 200 photos. Then to Jerome, a former mining town which had a population of 17,000 in its heyday, but is now down to 450. The town is built on a hill with narrow streets. Left behind during the exodus of the population were old wooden buildings including a former Safeway building. It must have been one of the first built. The buildings were old and run down, but mostly all of the 50 plus stores, mostly arts and crafts, and all the parking slots were filled. Earlier in the week we visited Wilcox, AZ. What is in Wilcox? The town of former cowboy Rex Allen, the last of the silver screen cowboys, who made about 20 movies, recorded records, and sang with the Sons of the Pioneers. His ashes are spread there and his horse Ko-Ko is buried

Final Word in the town’s park. A great town, an active movie theater and a Rex Allen museum with his outfits, autograph pictures from Gene Artry, Roy Rogers and many other celebrities. The weekend we were there they were having a western festival. Size of this active town? Smaller than Bethel. All of the towns we have visited, including Phoenix, have no industry. Their main source of income is from tourists. There are a lot of empty stores and buildings in Phoenix. They had the second largest building boom in the country, now they lead the country in foreclosures. Their malls are out of this world and can be very pricey. Phoenix is no place to retire if you depend on Social Security and a small pension. We saw a surprising number of homeless standing on the corners of downtown Phoenix holding signs begging for money. We’ve been fortunate with the weather; nights in the 40s and days in the low to middle 70s. Phoenix is about 20 degrees

warmer than in the mountains. Local politics from magistrate to Congress are hot. Not much interest in the Presidential election even though McCain has a ranch a few miles away and Sarah Palin took her crash course in debating at McCain’s ranch. I’ve seen two McCain/Palin signs, but many signs on each corner for local and state races. You run for everything here. Frank Calio Contributing writer

Fact check on the debt I’m sure Frank Calio won’t mind me correcting a statement in his column this week. He said, “You are also going to pay for the $11 trillion debt amassed by the Bush Administration in their eight years.” More accurately, the federal debt grew from between five and six trillion to more than 10 trillion during George W. Bush’s presidency. It also increased more than a trillion dollars when President Bill Clinton was in office. The federal debt issue overshadows all the other concerns we have as a nation. We have to get spending under control, but the so-called leaders we have in Washington lack the will to act. They seem to be more concerned about being re-elected than in solving this monumental problem, which will further ruin our economy if not handled properly.

My greatest fear is that our lawmakers will tax the spirit out of Americans. Sure the government can create jobs, but how can we trust the people who got us into this mess to get us out? Our economy can survive if government will stop the growth of the federal debt and start paying it down. Give extra incentives to businesses to create jobs. The free enterprise system works if men and women with ideas have incentives to test those ideas in the marketplace. Good ideas will work and add to the economy. The SBA counts six million small firms with employees and nearly 20 million sole proprietorship businesses. Our lawmakers should encourage the activities of these business owners. To put more demands on small businesses will discourage entrepreneurs from expanding or entering the marketplace at all. Bryant Richardson Publisher

Finally, on the lighter side

From the Internet:Why Athletes Should Not Be Role Models: • Pat Williams, Orlando Magic general manager, on his team’s 7-27 record in 1992: “We can’t win at home. We can’t win on the road. As general manager, I just can’t figure out where else to play.”
