Two of Laurel’s finest were the center of attention at ceremonies held recently at town hall. During the Tuesday, Sept. 5, meeting of the Laurel Town Council, Police Chief Jamie Wilson promoted two of his police officers, Patrolman 1st Class Brian Komlo and Lt. Ricky Richardson. Komlo, a 12-year veteran of the Laurel Police Department, was promoted to the rank of corporal. He started with the police department in 1992 and in 2002 left the force for a short time. He came back on the squad in April 2004. In making the promotion presentation, Wilson lauded Komlo as a “vital part” of the department.
‘Capt. Ricky Richardson is a well known fixture in our community and he is receiving a well-deserved and long overdue promotion.’

“It gives me great pleasure to congratulate him on his promotion to the rank of corporal,” Wilson added. The presentation made to Lt. Ricky Richardson was a surprise to the 18year veteran of the Laurel Police Department. Richardson’s family was invited to the ceremony and Wilson proclaimed that the honors are “deserved and long overdue.” Richardson has been promoted to the rank of captain. He started his career with the Laurel Police Department in October 1988. In his career he was road officer and canine handler and eventually moved into Continued on page 4

At end of high-speed chase, police arrest two for theft, forgery By Tony E. Windsor A local construction contractor took matters into his own hands recently when his fiancée was the victim of a robbery. On Saturday morning, Sept. 9, John Whitby, of John Whitby Concrete Company, was at a work site in Lewes when he received a call from his distressed fiancée, Jody Beth Miller, who informed him that her pocketbook had just been stolen. According to Whitby, his fiancée, who works as a hair stylist at Ray Adkins Hair Studio in Seaford, made what for her was a traditional stop at the Laurel Exxon station in Laurel at about 7 a.m., before heading to work. While in the store, she said, she noticed that a female customer in front of her in the checkout line was acting somewhat nervous, even at one point leaving the store without taking her purchase. After leaving the store and heading to her job, Miller realized her pocketbook was missing. She had left it in
the passenger side front seat of her car. Because this was a new car and she was not completely familiar with it, Miller got out of the car and thought she had locked all the doors before entering the store, but had actually locked all doors except the driver’s door. She believes that a companion of the women who had been acting strangely in the store that morning had waited outside while the woman went in the store and, during that wait, stole the pocketbook out of Miller’s car. Once realizing the pocketbook was stolen, Miller quickly called her fiancé, her credit card companies and her bank. Meanwhile, Whitby, knowing his fiancé was upset, left his work site in Lewes and headed toward home. Driving on U.S. 9, just east of Laurel, Whitby called the Exxon Store on his cell phone and asked if the cashier had a description of the vehicle that may have been involved in the robbery. “The cashier remembered that this vehicle had been parked outside the Continued on page 5

IN MEMORIAM - Sussex County held a ceremony Monday to commemorate the fifth anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001. Throughout the ceremony, a large flag, suspended from two fire truck ladders, flew over The Circle (above). About 200 people attended the event, which featured music by the Milford Community Band, singer Kevin Short and the chorus from the Sussex Academy of Arts and Sciences, Georgetown. Among those in the audience were Seaford Mayor Ed Butler and Councilwoman Leanne Phillips-Lowe. See story, next page. Photos by Lynn R. Parks

Sussex County marks fifth year after 9-11 By Lynn R. Parks Five years after two planes crashed into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, Al Weir is just now able to talk about it. “I have been in denial, not wanting to face what happened,” Weir, retired from the New York Police Department and now a resident of Seaford, told the crowd gathered on The Circle in Georgetown Monday. “Only now can I speak about it.” Weir, who worked at the site of the World Trade Center after the towers collapsed, was one of several speakers at the Sussex County observation of the fifth anniversary of the attacks on New York City and the Pentagon that took place Sept. 11, 2001. “How many thousands of people went to work that day, thinking that they would see their family again?” he said. “It’s horrible.” But not so horrible that he has lost his sense of humor, he added, telling a story about working at Ground Zero and knocking his sunglasses off when trying to salute a fellow policeman. “I needed something funny after working at 9-11,” he said. “And I know that those who died there would want us to go on with our lives and to live the way they would have us live.” The county’s ceremony started at 10 a.m. under clouds, not the clear blue skies of Sept. 11, 2001. The large flag that was suspended over The Circle from the ladders of two fire trucks blew in gusty winds. Each person in the crowd of about 200 carried a small flag and the flags in front of government buildings around The Circle were at half staff. “It is proper that we reflect on the events of 2001,” said county administrator Robert Stickles. “That is why we have joined together this morning.” Music for the ceremony was provided by the Milford Community Band, with players from the St. Thomas More Academy, Dover, and Sussex Tech High School. The chorus from the Sussex Academy of Arts and Sciences, Georgetown, sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” and, to conclude the ceremony, “God Bless America.” Kevin Short, Georgetown, sang the Alan Jackson song, “Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning?” Dave Hudson and Glenn Luedtke, both trumpeters with the Milford Community Band, played taps. And Steven Cochran with the Northern Virginia Firefighters’ Emerald Society Pipe Band played “Amazing Grace” on his bagpipes. The invocation and benediction were offered by the Rev. Raymond Forester, St. Edmond’s Catholic Church, Rehoboth Beach. “Help us to remember what it means to be American,” he prayed. “Help us to appreciate the freedom we enjoy.” Leanne Phillips-Lowe, Seaford city councilwoman, attended the ceremony along with Seaford Mayor Ed Butler. “I thought it was very nicely done,” she said. “I am always big on the musical element. Taps, the bagpipes — these are the things that touch my heart.” Phillips-Lowe added that she was glad to hear Weir speak. “He spoke from the heart and that was a very nice touch,” she said.

administration at the department. Today he is operations commander; overseeing the daily operations of the police department. On two separate occasions, Richardson has been called on to lead the Laurel Police Department as its commander. The first time was in 1999 when then Police Chief James Harris died suddenly. Then again in 2005 Chief Don McGinty retired
and Richardson was at the helm of the police department until Wilson was named police chief earlier this year. “Capt. Ricky Richardson is a well known fixture in our community and he is receiving a well-deserved and long overdue promotion,” Wilson said. Both officers were honored at a special reception held in the town hall during the council meeting.
Chief Wilson commended for actions Laurel Police Chief Michael “Jamie” Wilson has been commended for his assistance during a recent apartment complex fire. At the Sept. 5 Laurel Town Council meeting, Mayor John Shwed read a letter written by code enforcement officer Paul Frick. Frick wrote that on Aug. 22, there was a kitchen fire at an apartment in the Carvel Gardens apartment complex. The Laurel Volunteer Fire Department, police department, public works and code enforcement responded to the fire. “We were examining the unit to determine the extent of the damage and living conditions,” Frick wrote. “While on the second floor, Chief Wilson noticed smoke coming from the eaves of the roof. Further investigation revealed the kitchen wall to be extremely hot to the touch and smoke slowly building inside the unit. This was
evidence of an unseen fire within the confines of the wall.” Frick said the Laurel Fire Department was called and responded back to the scene and when opening the exterior of the wall found a fire in the wall cavity and the fire was extinguished. “I wanted to bring to your attention the actions of Chief Wilson,” Frick wrote. “Had this unseen fire not be discovered by him there is no doubt in my mind that a more serious fire would have taken place, possibly in the early morning hours which could have been disastrous as the other units in this building are still occupied. I feel his actions deserve recognition.” Wilson, who was present at the meeting, received a round of applause from the council and the members of the public who were there.

During the Sept. 5 meeting of the Laurel Town Council, code enforcement officer Paul Frick shared information about his department’s work to identify the “50 worst properties” in town. Frick’s presentation was in response to the council’s direction to have the properties identified and activities concerning them documented. Frick provided the council with a list of 50 properties, both residential and commercial, that he and his staff had determined to be in need of work. “These properties are not necessarily condemned or in violation of town ordinances,” he said. “There are just visible issues that need to be addressed. I have not put the properties in any particular order.” Mayor John Shwed told Frick that he would like to see a spreadsheet which outlines the issues needing to be addressed and describes how the issues will be addressed. Councilman Don Phillips expressed his desire to see even more specific information about the properties. “I would like to see a timeline and the stages for remedying the problems,” he said. “I would also like to see the properties separated based on whether they are commercial or resi-
dential and, if residential, whether they are owner-occupied or rentals.” Frick said in some cases the properties have appearance issues, such as structures that are in bad need of painting. However, he said if left unaddressed, the problems could become much worse. He said he also wants to seek out any opportunities to find funds to help property owners with needed repairs and upgrades. “I want to see if there is money available to help our citizens,” he said. “Some of these property owners are on fixed incomes and have a hard time making it week to week as it is. It is one thing to put these properties on a list like this, but another thing to expect some of these people to be able to afford the necessary work. I would like to get council’s approval to begin looking into possible low-interest loans or grants to help property owners with the work.” The council agreed with Frick’s assessment and supported his seeking funds for helping property owners get any necessary work done. Frick will return to the council with a more complete report of the 50 worst properties based on the suggestions from Shwed and Phillips.

store that morning when she came in to open at around 6 a.m., with the two people sitting inside,” Whitby said. “She told me it was a pickup truck with a blue tarp covering the back. She also said the guy driving was wearing a red ball cap. I figured because I was traveling toward Laurel it would not hurt for me to have a description of the vehicle these people were driving in.” And, he said, he could not have been more right. Within seconds of getting the description, Whitby said a truck matching the description he had been given passed him going east on U.S. 9. “I saw the guy with the ball cap and the blue tarp covering the back just like the lady had told me,” he said. Whitby turned his vehicle around and began pursuing the pickup.
“I got right up on them and it was obvious they were the people, because once they realized I was trying to get them to stop, they took off trying to get away from me,” he said. Whitby stayed in pursuit of the pickup truck, which, he said, was traveling at high speeds. Going through Hardscabble, he tried to call police to notify them that he was in pursuit of the suspected robbers, but he could get no cell phone signal. “I knew that if I could keep them traveling on Rt. 9 on out to U.S. 113 in Georgetown, there would be a good chance police would get them. I was determined not to let them get away. They were moving fast, moving in and out of traffic and even passing people on the shoulder of the road. But, I stayed with them.” Once again, Whitby dialed 911 and this time got the police
Public hearing on annexation cancelled The meeting of the Laurel Planning and Zoning Committee scheduled for last night was canceled Tuesday afternoon. The committee was set to hold a public hearing on the proposed annexation of 480 acres east of U.S. 13. “We were making contact with all our members and we realized there was a possibility we could not put a quorum together,” said Brent Boyce, chairman of the committee. The commission is supposed to have seven members. One member resigned last week because he moved out of town. The replacement has to be appointed by the mayor and approved by the town council. Boyce said that the public hearing will be rescheduled for as soon as possible. “We are certainly ready to hear the public,” he said. “We also want to get some
answers from the developer. And we will make sure that every member of the committee can attend the meeting. We feel we need to have a full body of members.” Sylvia Brohawn and Leslie Carter are residents of the area around the proposed annexation parcel. Tuesday afternoon, Brohawn said that she didn’t know what to make of the cancellation. “I am surprised that it is so last-minute,” she said. “It is a wonderment, really.” “I hope the town will notify us of the next meeting in a timely fashion, so everybody can attend,” Carter added. The committee meets regularly on the second Wednesday of the month. Any public hearing has to be advertised 15 days in advance.

emergency dispatcher. He stayed in contact with the dispatcher and gave his location and direction of travel. He was told a police officer was close behind them. “I didn’t realize the police were that close behind us,” he said. “The police car came up and cut the pickup truck off in the front and got them stopped. He pulled his gun and ordered them out of the vehicle and it was pretty much all over at that point.” State police spokesman Jeff Oldham confirmed that police searched the pickup truck and found the contents of Miller’s pocketbook strewn over the front floor of the truck and the pocketbook lying behind the seat. They also found a Camel cigarette package filled with an assortment of between 25 and 30 credit cards, social security cards, driver’s licenses from Virginia, Florida, New Jersey and Washington,
D.C., and even Wal-Mart Gift cards, all apparently connected with prior robberies. Police also found four additional pocketbooks inside the truck. In the back of the truck, under the tarp was an assortment of new tools and tires, all suspected stolen. Oldham said that the two occupants of the car, Kirk Manning, 40, Salisbury, Md., and Traci Washausen, 29, Salisbury, were arrested. They were charged with 22 counts each of theft, forgery, unlawful use of a credit card, theft under false pretenses, attempted theft under false pretenses, receiving stolen property, identity theft and conspiracy. The two were committed to Delaware correctional facilities under $47,000 secured bond each. At State Police Troop 4 in Georgetown, police processed the man and woman and the evidence that had been seized from
the pickup truck. Also recovered was money that had been stolen in connection with the theft of Miller’s pocketbook. Miller told police that she had three $20 bills in her pocketbook that she had noticed had stars printed at the tops of the bills. Those bills were found in the pants pocket of the man at the time of his arrest, police said. Whitby said he is happy to know that the two people were arrested and jailed before they had the chance to rob anyone else. “We got everything back that belonged to my fiancée and now hopefully some people will get their belongings back also,” he said. “This really drives home the fact that it doesn’t take long to become the victim of a crime. We have to be careful and alert, because there are people out there who will take advantage of a situation and rob you.”

Good Samaritan Outreach grows from one to two stores By Lynn R. Parks J.T. Tomey, 4, likes miniature cars. He found just the right toy at the new store opened last month by the Good Samaritan Outreach thrift store in downtown Laurel. “I come in here every week,” said J.T.’s grandmother, Samra Bowden, who was shopping with J.T. and his mother, Tina Tomey, Delmar, who is also her daughter. “I collect apples and there is always something in here for me.” Indeed, during her shopping trip last Thursday, she found an apple made of cloth and a small ceramic apple pie. “I love this store,” she said. The new store is across the street from the Good Samaritan shop in the former Phillip’s Men’s Store. Good Samaritan moved from this facility into the former men’s store in the spring of 2004 and the Laurel Public Library, which needed a temporary home until its building was renovated, took up residence in the former thrift shop. When the library moved out in July, Good Samaritan moved back in. At the same time, it kept the Phillip’s building, so that it now has two stores. Henrietta Koch, one of two managers of the thrift shop, said that the Good Samaritan organization was thrilled to be able to expand into two buildings. “We are glad to have the space to display items,”
Wilson Smith, 15, Oak Hall, Va., looks at one of several children’s games in the Good Samaritan store. The store carries used furniture as well as former wear and vintage clothing.

lectible books are also in the new store. “People really like the setup,” said Barbara Gravenor, who runs the store. “We can display things so that people can really see what they look like.” Even so, items still sell pretty cheaply. A sofa costs from $50 to $75, Gravenor said; on Thursday, she sold a set of dishes for $4. Audrey Smith, Oak Hall, Va., said that she visits the store every week. On Thursday, she was shopping with her children,
Wilson, 15, and Roberta, 17. “Last week, I found a really nice princess canopy for my bed,” said Roberta. “It is lace and looks like it is handmade.” Koch said that, with the new store, the Good Samaritan Outreach organization needs more volunteers. All of the organization’s work is performed by volunteers. For information, or to arrange to donate furniture to the new store, call the Good Samaritan help line, 875-9710.

she said. The newly-opened store is dedicated largely to furniture and collectibles. The furniture is arranged as it would be in homes, with many of the collectibles placed on tables. One large table holds a collection of bells, another has a set of china and glassware. Good Samaritan has moved its wedding and evening gowns and vintage clothing into the new shop.

Education All districts will have to offer full-day kindergarten
Getting school supplies? Don’t forget a library card
New law gives schools two years to comply
September is Library Card Sign-up Month, and the Delaware Division of Libraries is taking this opportunity to remind parents that a library card is the most important school supply of all. “Kids who use their library do better in school,” says state librarian Anne E. C. Norman, director of the Delaware Division of Libraries. “Studies show that children who are read to in the home and who use the library perform better in school and are more likely to continue to use the library as a source of lifelong learning.” Delaware’s public libraries offer books, magazines, videotapes, CDs, DVDs, computers, software and other multimedia materials. Librarians are always on hand to help recommend materials suitable for various ages and interests. Libraries offer a variety of programs to stimulate an interest in reading that can lead to a lifetime love of learning. Preschool story hours expose young children to the joy of reading, while homework centers provide computers and assistance to older children after
Gov. Ruth Ann Minner recently signed Senate Bill 251, which will require all Delaware school districts to offer the option of full-day kindergarten by the start of the 2008-09 school year. “From their very first day of school, Delaware children should be offered every opportunity to get the best education possible,” Minner said during a signing ceremony at Linden Hill Elementary School. “A firm educational foundation is the key to a successful future, and additional classroom time in the kindergarten year is one way to build on that foundation.” S.B. 251 will require school districts to offer any child eligible for kindergarten the option of attending full-day classes if the parent or guardian chooses. Parents can still opt to have their child attend kindergarten class for a half day. “This is a great day for children, parents, and education advocates across the State of Delaware,” said bill co-sponsor Sen. David Sokola. “S.B. 251 guarantees the state’s commitment to provide full-day kindergarten to all eligible Delaware
school children. We now have two reports from pilot studies that show overwhelmingly positive results for children who attend full-day kindergarten which signifies to me that this bill signing is indeed a smart investment in our education system.” “I’m truly excited for the young people in our state,” said bill co-sponsor Rep. Melanie Marshall. “Thanks to the governor and Senator Sokola’s leadership, we’re one step closer to ensuring that every child has a solid start in life and that every child is fully prepared to start school ready and excited to learn. Full-day kindergarten sends a message to the business community that Delaware is serious about investing in its human capital.” A study by the University of Delaware that measured the results of a pilot fullday kindergarten program during the 2004-2005 school year found that students who participated in the full-day program had stronger literacy skills than students in part-day kindergarten.

Adults can tap library resources to start a small business, borrow an audio book, take computer classes, join a book discussion group or simply find a quiet spot to curl up with a good book. “A library card is one of the best gifts you can give your child. It can’t break, won’t wear out, and won’t be outgrown,” says Norman. “Using the library also saves money. Where else can you take the whole family for free?” For more information on Delaware’s public libraries, visit www.lib.de.us.

Sportsman Against Hunger Deer Donation sites listed The Division of Fish and Wildlife again will be participating in the Sportsman Against Hunger Program. All donated deer will be processed, and the meat distributed to participating charitable groups. Recently, the Division finalized the deer donation locations for participating hunters. The Division maintains five walkin coolers where hunters may drop off their deer. These coolers are checked daily, and all donated deer are taken to the Sussex County prison where they are processed. Any deer dropped off at a cooler must be field dressed and registered, with the registration number written on the field tag attached to the animal. This will allow the Division to verify that a deer has been registered. The coolers are located in Sussex County at the Redden State Forest, Assawoman Wildlife Area and Trap Pond State Park. Successful hunters may also take their deer to any of the participating private butcher shops found throughout Sussex County.

Health Many, but not all, people are good at paying bills By Dr. Anthony Policastro Everyone has bills. Some people are better than others at paying their bills. Some people do not pay their bills. This is a problem in medicine. There are not many businesses that will provide services free of charge. That is true for commercial businesses. That is true for repairmen. However in medicine, charity care is common. There are people who cannot pay their bills. Physicians and hospitals treat those patients for free. There are other people who can pay their bills. However, they refuse to do so. Physicians and hospitals treat those pa-
They are not just depriving themselves of services. They are depriving those around them of the same services. tients for free as well. Physicians and hospitals have the same expenses whether a patient pays for the services or does not pay for the services. When proper charges for care are not
collected, those expenses still have to be paid. There are only two ways for that to happen. One of those ways is to be forced to charge paying patients a higher rate to make up for those who cannot or will not pay. The other is to not provide additional services because of the additional expense. In either case the ones who suffer are the patients who have insurance or pay their own bills. For example in community hospitals, unpaid care amounts to millions of dollars per year. Those millions of dollars represent funds that could be used to provide additional services to everyone in the com-
munity. Therefore, the hospital is forced to make a choice as to what it can afford to provide. The result is that everyone in the community will do without those services. Thus, it is important for all of us that patients pay their bills. They are not just depriving themselves of services. They are depriving those around them of the same services. There are many ways that we are interconnected with each other. This is a medical example of that connection. Dr. Anthony Policastro is medical director at Nanticoke Memorial Hospital.

Health Bulletins Family, Friend CPR Class Nanticoke Memorial Hospital’s Training Center will offer a community CPR classes to anyone interested in learning CPR on Saturday, Sept. 16, from 9 a.m.noon, at the Nanticoke Resource Center, 620 W. Stein Highway, Seaford. Cost is $5. Proceeds to be donated to the American Heart Walk 2006. This program contains information on how to perform the basic skills of CPR on adults, children, and infants and how to help an adult, child, or infant who is choking. The course is open to anyone caring for infants and children, including family members, grandparents, siblings, new or expecting parents, babysitters and neighbors. This program is a fun, dynamic way for families, friends and communities to learn CPR but do not need a course completion card. To register or for further information contact the NMH Training Center office at 629-6611, ext. 8919. Pre-registration is required.
PSA screenings at NMH Nanticoke Health Services will provide PSA screenings on Thursday, Sept. 28. The blood tests will be offered at the Nanticoke’s Cancer Care Center * 1st Floor, adjacent to the hospital from 8 a.m. till 5 p.m. The fee for the test will be $5. Results will be mailed approximately two weeks after the event. Prostate cancer is the most frequently occurring cancer in men. Between 1980 and 1990, prostate cancer incidence increased 65 percent. It is believed that this increase was the result of improved early detection. There is expected to be a further increase related to the use of the prostate specific antigen blood test. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is a substance that is produced by the prostate gland. Men normally have a small amount of this substance in the blood. PSA levels differ according to age and tend to rise after the age of 60. PSA can be affected by several conditions in the prostate such as the normal enlargement in the prostate, which occurs with aging. Infection or inflammation and surgery to the prostate can also cause increased levels. There is no specific level of PSA that tells whether prostate cancer is present; however the higher the level, the more likely it is that cancer may be developing. Nanticoke Memorial Hospital encourages men over the age of 50 to take advantage of this service. If you are 40years-old and at high risk of developing this cancer you are also encouraged to participate. African-American men are at high risk for developing prostate cancer, as are men who have a family history of the disease. For additional information on the PSA screening contact the Cancer Care Center at 302-629-6611, ext. 2588.

Easter Seals Camp Fairlee helps kids with autism By Melissa Cox “Can I paddle?” a blond, blue-eyed camper named Brian asks his counselor. It is summer at Easter Seals’ Camp Fairlee Manor, and the camp is bursting with excitement and activity during two special weeklong sessions for children and young adults with autism. “Put on your life vest first,” replies his counselor, Dominic. After a few minutes of preparation, the two jump into the canoe and paddle off on another adventure. Water sports are just one of the many activities at Camp Fairlee, where children and adults with disabilities enjoy a full camp experience on 250 beautiful acres near Chestertown, Md. Brian’s father, Rudy, of Georgetown, heard about Camp Fairlee’s special autism program through the Division of Developmental Disabilities Services. “When we dropped Brian off, Dominic asked him if he wanted to go canoeing, and he just hit the ground running,” Rudy said. “He’s a water rat, so he just loves camp.” Because the camper/counselor ratio during Camp Fairlee’s autism program is one-to-one, campers receive specialized attention and are under watchful, caring eyes. “Brian is like a little brother to me,” said Dominic, age 20, from England. “The other counselors and I give him the support he needs. He doesn’t see us as teachers or counselors, but as friends.” Some of Brian’s favorite activities include rock climbing, going on hay rides, swimming in the pool, and visiting the animals in the barn. For more than 50 years, Camp Fairlee has offered kids and adults with disabilities a nurturing camp environment while providing family members time off from care giving. Fairlee’s residential camp program offers sessions divided according to age throughout the summer. Kids and adults

stay overnight to experience the joys and challenges of a fully-accessible camp. Fairlee also offers a separate respite program from October to May on select weekends. Campers enjoy seasonal activities during the milder months, such as pumpkin picking during Halloween and holiday activities in December. Counselors also take campers out into the community to enjoy movies, bowling and more. Most importantly, Camp Fairlee is a place where campers can get safely involved in as many activities as possible. A few weeks before Brian’s visit, a young girl named Ginger traveled from her home in Rehoboth to Camp Fairlee, where adventure awaited her. An exceptional athlete and Special Olympics contender, Ginger swims, runs

Free DNA paternity testing During the week of Sept. 1822, the Division of Child Support Enforcement will offer Free DNA/Paternity testing in our New Castle, Kent and Sussex County offices. LabCorp will be on-site to perform the free testing using a swab to collect DNA from the inner cheek of each person being tested. Before coming to the of-
fice, the mother and father must talk and agree to show up along with the child for testing. If everyone cannot come at the same time for testing, arrangements can be made during the week by contacting one of our offices. In Sussex County, visit the Georgetown office at 9 Academy Street, 856-5386. Free Testing Dates: Monday, Sept. 18, 10 a.m.noon; Tuesday, Sept. 19, 10 a.m.noon; Wednesday, Sept. 20, 4:30-7 p.m.; Thursday, Sept. 21, 10 a.m.noon; Friday, Sept. 22, 10 a.m.noon.

track, and plays soccer and basketball. Her mother, Karen, had no doubt that Ginger would love camp. “She is a natural born camper,” Karen said. “Fairlee allowed her to experience things on her own, which is important.” Ginger stayed at Camp Fairlee overnight for six days. She was the only girl there during that week, but that did not stop her from competing in some of toughest activities. Her two counselors, Charlotte, 19, from England, and Claire, 19, from Australia, kept Ginger busy. “Ginger really likes a lot of physical activity,” Charlotte said. “She wouldn’t fall asleep because she was having so much fun.” Some of Ginger’s favorite activities included blowing bubbles, rock climbing, riding the zip line and swimming.
While Camp Fairlee offers a vacation to campers, it also gives parents like Karen, who are continuously caring for their children with autism, a chance to relax. Karen also had peace of mind, knowing that her child was in good hands. Easter Seals offers a wide range of services, including outpatient rehabilitation therapy, early intervention services for children, day services for adults with physical and cognitive disabilities and assistive technology services.

Project will bring Hall of Fame women to life Rhonda H. Tuman, president of Women Networking in Southern Delaware Inc. (WNSD), says that the women of who have been inducted into the Delaware Women’s Hall of Fame will “jump off the pages of history” because of a project sponsored jointly by her group and the Delaware Commission for Women (DCW). Beginning this year, the Girl Power Delaware Leadership Center will incorporate the biographies of the women who have been inducted into Delaware’s Women’s Hall of Fame for the past 25 years into a women’s history project for students and their mentors, according to Diana Young, educational coordinator and vice president of WNSD. “Protégés are girls, 13 to 18 years old, who participate in Girl Power,” Young says. “With the guidance of volunteer mentors we provide educational, career, and community service opportunities for the girls. This year we are beginning a multi-year project to introduce the Women of Delaware’s Hall to the community, especially young women. Through the support of the General Assembly and each governor in the last 25 years, the DCW calls for nominations of women whose contributions to Delaware or the nation have made contributions that will live beyond their lives.” Gov. Tom Carper appointed Young to the DCW in 1995. “I was humbled by the experience,” she says. “In one capacity or another I served five years on the Hall of Fame Committee. I always felt that Sussex County was under represented and I did

my best to promote the competition in Sussex County. “As a regular citizen the most I can do now is promote the hall and inspire people to nominate more deserving Sussex County women for recognition,” she adds. “The Hall of Fame is different from other Women’s History Month (March) recognitions, in that the contributions have to be unique and they are often ‘firsts.’” For instance, the first African-American woman mayor in Sussex County, Bishop Grace Ruth Batten, was inducted into the hall of fame in 1999. Gov. Ruth Ann Minner, the first woman to be elected governor, was inducted in 1995, and the first woman from Sussex County to be appointed secretary of state, Harriet N. Smith Windsor, was inducted in 1997. The only woman to be elected attorney general, M. Jane Brady, was inducted last year. Brady gave up her position in the AG’s office when Minner appointed her associate justice of Delaware’s Superior Court. “Girl Power protégés will bring the story of these and other Delaware Women to life through their interpretation of the historic record using audio and video media,” Young adds. The project is partially funded by the Sussex County Council, DISCOVER Financial Services Inc. and Delaware Electric Cooperative. “Each member of the hall is a remarkable woman who had the courage and conviction to overcome social, cultural and religious barriers to achieve her goals, and each left a meaningful contribution that transformed the communities of which she

was a part,” Young says. “It isn’t enough to put their names on a brass plaque in Legislative Hall, we must take them out of Dover and tell their stories in schools, libraries, and anywhere someone will listen. The group needs volunteers to help with recording and editing. Anyone interested in volunteering can call 249-8145, or email Tuman at rtuman@womennetde.org. “My long range dream is to create an interactive computer model, that comes alive with an image of the inductee in her town and she tells her story,” Tuman says. “Once that is done, I want to develop another program for nurses, educators, physicians, women of the clergy. Most important is that girls and young women participate in the projects, because it will be their
responsibility to be stewards of women’s history in the future.” Tuman says Girl Power also needs professional women, working or retired, to become mentors to the students. The time commitment is about four to five hours a month, primarily on Saturdays. In addition to helping the Women of the Hall project, mentors will tutor students and organize a health careers fair in February. Mentors are registered with the Delaware State Police and background checks are required. Girl Power meetings are held at Delaware Technical & Community College in Georgetown. The group is supported by the college’s TRIO Programs for Sussex County youth in middle and high schools.

Most Wanted for Child Support enforcement plan As part of Child Support Enforcement Month, this week the Division of Child Support Enforcement launched its new plan to increase enforcement of child support laws through a new partnership with Crime Stoppers, local and state law enforcement agencies and the citizens of Delaware. Division Director Chuck Hayward will unveil Child Support’s first in a series of Failure to Pay Child Support Wanted Posters. For a parent to appear on the Most Wanted Child Support Poster, he or she has not made any child support payments
in the last six months. Citizens who recognize a wanted child support obligor and have information regarding his/her whereabouts or any attempt to hide financial assets or employment, call Crime Stoppers anonymously and provide as much information as possible. Director Hayward will also introduce a warrant program which allows individuals arrested on outstanding capiases to pay 10 percent of their bail directly to child support owed in lieu of making full bail. “The Division of Child Support Enforcement (DCSE) is proud of the work we do helping the children of Delaware.
Last year, DCSE collected more than $96 million (a record collection for Delaware) for the children of Delaware. Still, unpaid child support is a significant problem,” said Chuck Hayward, Director of the Division of Child Support Enforcement. “The parents we are targeting through this new effort are thumbing their nose at the law by refusing to pay their child support. They have been given every opportunity to pay what is owed and we need the public’s help to find them.” Also planned are child support roundups where law enforcement personnel will devote efforts to locate and arrest non cus-
Confusion over Deer Damage Program The DNREC Division of Fish and Wildlife recently initiated a new deer management program. The Severe Deer Damage Assistance Program (SDDAP) assists farmers experiencing severe crop loss due to white-tailed deer browsing. Recently, there has been some confusion as to who may participate in this program. The Severe Deer Damage Assistance Program is only open to those individuals who have been enrolled in the Deer Damage Assistance Program for at least one year. The program is not open to farmers who have not participated in the Deer Damage Assistance Program. SDDAP enrollees must submit an application, the tax parcel numbers for all prop-
erties enrolled in the program, and a list of names for all individuals hunting on the enrolled property. Only the persons acknowledged on this list are allowed to participate in the new program. Once the division receives all of the requested information, a permit signed by DNREC secretary John A. Hughes will be issued. This permit must be in an individual’s possession while he/she is pursuing deer under SDDAP. After a deer is harvested, it must be tagged with a green 2006 Antlerless Deer Damage Tag. Within 24 hours of harvest, all deer must be registered. This can be accomplished by calling toll free at 1-866511-DEER (3337) or by logging on to

todial parents who are delinquent in their child support payments. Persons can be arrested if they have outstanding capiases for failure to appear in court after being contacted about their delinquent payments. “Children suffer the consequences of a parent’s refusal to pay child support,” said Hayward. “Children and families suffer when child support is not received. These families are then stretched due to the lack of income that child support payments provide, and they carry the emotional scars that come from knowing their parents do not care enough to pay child support.”
Hearns Pond residents continue to discuss annexation concerns The members of H.A.P.P.E.N., Hearns Pond Association for its Protection, Preservation, Enhancement and Naturalization, met on Sept. 7 to continue to work through their concerns over the future annexation of land in their area. While the group’s main focus at this time continues to be to inform the public of the possible affects to Seaford residents of such an annexation, the group addressed other issues relating to the Hearns Pond area. These issues include the damage to the UNOI Mill and the Hearns Pond Dam, both of which were damaged by recent flooding. H.A.P.P.E.N. will meet again on Sept. 21, at 7 p.m., at the Seaford Museum on High Street. Anyone interested in attending the meeting is welcome.

Newswire: People are selling their old scrap gold that is gathering dust for its cash value because gold prices are so high. With the price of gold at a 25 year high (over $650.00 per ounce), it makes sense. ScrapGold.com, a gold recycler, offers free insured recycle kits so people may cash in their scrap with 24 hour service and guarantee satisfaction. They accept
broken and outdated items like chains, charms, rings and more. "Everyone has bits of gold just lying around which can be turned into cash" says Richard Zakroff, VP of marketing. "Even old dental gold has value." ScrapGold.com processes over 10,000 recycle Kits per month. People can get a free GoldKit at 1-800-283-4700 or ScrapGold.com.

Police Journal Twenty-seven arrested for DUI, one at five times the legal limit Delaware Law enforcement officers arrested 27 individuals for Driving Under the Influence (DUI) of alcohol during week 11 of the Checkpoint Strikeforce campaign. This brings the number of individuals arrested for DUI to 240. Four sobriety checkpoints were conducted last weekend. Participating agencies included the Millsboro Police, and the New Castle, Kent and Sussex County DUI Task Forces. In addition to the 27 DUI arrests, officers issued 15 citations for underage drinking violations, made 10 drug arrests, eight felony arrests, apprehended four wanted individuals, recovered one stolen vehicle and issued 102 citations for other traffic violations. One individual arrested for DUI this past weekend, had a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of between .40 and .50, according to Chief Michael Capriglione, head of the New Castle County DUI Task Force. A blood alcohol reading of .40 is five times the legal limit of .08 in Delaware. Officers working the Task Force’s checkpoint on Delaware Avenue in Newark Saturday night, stopped the driver as he came through the checkpoint, noting that he drove very closely to law enforcement personnel. Once the driver was out of the vehicle he was given a portable breathalyzer test where officers discovered the high reading. Officers were not able to administer field sobriety tests at that time because of the driver’s condition, and instead called for paramedics to transport him to the hospital, where he was given another breathalyzer test and treated for his symptoms. The Office of Highway Safety would like to thank all of the officers and law enforcement agencies participating in the Checkpoint Strikeforce campaign, and other OHS DUI prevention initiatives, for their dedication to removing impaired drivers from the roads and protecting the public’s safety. Checkpoints this weekend are scheduled downstate for Dagsboro and Dover.
Warrant obtained for suspect in series of local robberies Delaware State Police Detectives have obtained a warrant against Stevie Alphonso Jones in connection with two robberies that occurred in the Bridgeville area on Monday, Aug. 28. Jones was apprehended in Maryland last week and is currently incarcerated on charges stemming from robberies that occurred in Salisbury. Through information sharing with Maryland authorities, detectives learned that Jones was operating a white Ford Escort. This was the same vehicle description that one of the victim’s in the Bridgeville robberies provided to detectives. Detectives also obtained latent fingerprints at the crime scene on Progress School Road, which were compared to Jones’ prints and a match was obtained. Stevie Alphonso Jones, 22, of Salis-
bury, Md., is currently wanted by Delaware State Police on two counts of 1st degree robbery, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, 2nd degree assault, 2nd degree burglary, two counts of 1st degree reckless endangering, criminal mischief, and malicious interference with emergency communications.
Two drivers die in collision The Delaware State Police Collision Reconstruction Unit (CRU) is investigating a three-vehicle fatal crash that occurred Friday, Sept. 8, at approximately 3:30 a.m., on U.S. 113 southbound, in the area of Sussex County Road 579. A 2002 Hyundai Sante Fe operated by Teresa C. Vasquez, 45, of Lewes, was traveling south on U.S. 113 in the left lane. A 1992 Mercedes sedan operated by Benjamin A. Wilson, 20, of Yorktown, Va., was traveling north in the southbound left lane of U.S. 113. A 2002 Chevy pickup operated by Mark C. Stover, 48, of Townsend, was traveling south on U.S. 113 in the right lane. As the Mercedes was traveling north in the wrong direction, it struck the Hyundai head-on. After impact, the Mercedes traveled into the median and flipped onto its roof at which time the engine compartment caught on fire. After the initial impact with the Mercedes, the Hyundai rotated counter-clockwise and came to rest sideways in the middle of the roadway. Mr. Stover, who did not see the Hyundai sideways across the roadway, continued traveling south. The front of the pickup then struck the driver’s side of the Hyundai. Ms. Vasquez was pronounced dead at the scene. Mr. Wilson was transported to Milford Memorial Hospital initially, but was later transferred to Christiana Hospital where he was admitted in critical condition with head trauma, internal injuries, and multiple fractures. Mr. Stover, and a passenger in his vehicle, were both treated at Milford Memorial Hospital for minor injuries. A preliminary state police investigation suggests alcohol was involved in the crash on the part of Mr. Wilson. The crash remains under investigation.
Teen arrested in theft of van A 17-year-old from Laurel, who is accused of stealing his aunt’s van and then fleeing the area with his 14-year-old girlfriend, has been apprehended. The girlfriend, who was with him, was returned to her parents. At approximately 6:48 p.m. Thursday, state police received information that the 14-year-old had made a collect call to her brother from a payphone at a Delmar convenience store. The call was cut off before any conversation took place, so troopers responded to the area and began searching for the teens. At approximately 9 p.m., a relative of the 17-year-old located the teens in the area of Delmar and transported them to the Delmar Police Station. The teens were then turned over to state police. The 14-year-old girl, who was not abducted nor injured, was subsequently Continued on page 56

Laurel Star Sports Mistakes are costly in Bulldogs’ loss to Glasgow By Pat Murphy In a game that looked similar to a game between the two teams two years ago, the Glasgow Dragons jumped out to a 20-0 first half lead aided by Bulldog mistakes and won 34-16 in the season opener. In the game at Glasgow two years ago, the Bulldogs outscored or held the Dragons in the second half as the did this year, 16-14. Highlighting the Dragons’ attack was junior running back Barren Griffin who had runs of 48, 15, and 63 yards for touchdowns. Bulldog mistakes were numerous throughout the game. Two roughing the passer penalties and four interceptions thrown by junior quarterback Lance Kelley proved to be very costly. Things started out nicely for the Bulldogs as Cody Bristow intercepted Sammy Vaughn’s first pass only to have it canceled by the first roughing the passer penalty. On the very next play Griffin turned outside then cut inside and ran 50 yards for the first score of the game. The point after was good making it 7-0 with just over a minute off the clock. The early frustration or jitters continued after the first Bulldog series ended. Punter Taylor Jones watched as the snap sailed over his head and the Dragons ended up with the ball on the Laurel 15 yard line. On the next play Griffin took Vaughn’s shovel pass and raced for their second score with 7:35 left in the first quarter to make it 14-0 (with the extra point). The Bulldog miscues continued as they lost the short kickoff. The Dragons recovered it on the Bulldog 37 looking for more. Here Laurel’s young defense tightened up. Tackles by Tyler West, Tony Rubino,
Jones, Ben Lloyd, and others held the Dragons, although they reached the one yard line before the first quarter ended. Antwon Trimball and Bristow also had key tackles in this defensive stand. In the second quarter, thing started to go the Bulldogs’ way as Trimball and Lloyd proved to be workhorses, carrying the ball for seven first downs. Glasgow senior Steve Cruz cut in front of a Laurel receiver in the corner of the end zone and raced 100 yards following the interception to give the Dragons a 20-0 halftime lead. In the opening drive of the second half the Bulldogs again mounted an impressive drive only to once again be denied. Laurel started a drive from their 35 yard line that reached the Dragons’ one before being stopped on four consecutive plays. The Bulldogs’ defense put their first points on the board as the Dragons could not get away from the goal line and on the third play hard hitting Cody Bristow sacked Vaughn for a safety making the score 20-2. The Bulldogs really got into the game after this. Trimball picked up the free kick and brought it out to the 23 yard line. After a series of nice runs by Lloyd and Trimball, Trimball carried it in for the score from the 13 yard line. Kyle Brown’s first kick of the season sailed though the uprights making it 20-9 with 28 seconds left in the third quarter. The Bulldogs then tried an onsides kick, but it was recovered by Glasgow’s Chris Cathell on their 37 yard line. On the very first play of the fourth quarter fleet footed nemesis Barron Griffith again took the hand off and raced 63 yards for another Glasgow score with only 11 seconds

Wildcat football team opens with 21-7 win over Bohemia Manor The Delmar varsity football team opened the season with a 21-7 win over Bohemia Manor last Friday night. Senior quarterback Alan Preston threw a pair of touchdown strikes to Donald Poole in the non-conference road win. Jenson Dennard opened the scoring with a 62-yard touchdown run and Seth Benson added the extra point to give the Wildcats a 7-0 lead with 4:27 left in the first quarter. Preston completed a seven-yard touchdown pass to Poole and Benson added the extra point to make it 14-0 before Bohemia Manor put seven points on the board to make it 14-7 at the half. Preston found Poole from nine yards out in the third quarter. Benson booted his third PAT to give Delmar the 21-7 win. The Wildcats continue their road trip this Friday at St. Elizabeth.

MORNING STAR Laurel football continued gone in the final quarter. Gone with it were any Bulldog hopes for a comeback with the Dragons leading 26-9. To their credit the Bulldogs never quit and they mounted an offensive drive that was capped off with fullback Ben Lloyd barreling into the end zone for the score. Brown’s kick again was perfect and the score was 26-16 with 9:11 left. Key tackles by West, Trent Passwaters, and Bristow, who was all over the place, kept the Dragons off the scoreboard on their next drive. The Bulldog offense struggled here just when they needed it the most. Lloyd and Trimball gained nine yards for a first down after an incomplete pass and a one yard run by Trimball, but Glasgow senior Ramon Shy intercepted Kelley’s pass and ran 65 yards for the touchdown. Their two point run was good mak-

ing it 34-16. The game was called with a little over a minute to play due to an injury to Laurel senior Trent Passwaters. Passwaters was admitted to Christiana Hospital but was later released. Leading the Laurel defense was Bristow with 10 tackles followed by Jones with six and Passwaters with five. On offense, Trimball gained 131 yards on 32 carries and Lloyd had 96 yards on 21 carries. The Bulldogs had 20 first downs to Glasgow’s seven. “We made mistakes. We are an inexperienced team, at that we still had a chance to get back in the game. We moved the ball well,” said Laurel coach Ed Manlove. Passwaters was released from Christiana Hospital Sunday evening. He is questionable for this week according to coach Manlove but he feels sure he will play the following week.
Laurel High boys’ soccer to open season under the lights in Seaford By Mike McClure The Laurel varsity boys’ soccer team was scheduled to open the season under the lights in Seaford on Tuesday, Sept. 19 (see page 48) before visiting Woodbridge on Thursday. Head coach Clayton Hearn calls his young team “hard nosed” and young. As of last week, the Bulldogs had 13 players on its roster including six returning players (five starters). There are no seniors on the team and half of the players have never played organized soccer before, so Hearn has been focussing on the fundamentals and endurance in practice. Second team all-state player Claudy Joinville is gone from last year’s team, which earned the program’s first conference win last season. The top returning goal scorer is sophomore Kyle Brown who netted five goals in his first varsity season. Also back are David Bartee, goalkeeper Jorge Lopez, midfielder Lineker Valladares, and defenders Joey Kempf and Aaron Givens. The newcomers include Zack Hastings, freshman Donelle Horsey, and junior defender Ryan Bardowski. “We’re having fun,” said Hearn, who noted that his team does have good speed. The Bulldogs host Cape Henlopen in their home opener on Tuesday, Sept. 19.

Miller completed one of four passes for 13 yards and Bryce Bristow completed a nine-yard pass with Zack Whaley (13 yards) and Colby Daye (nine yards) pulling in the receptions. The Bulldog defense allowed 51 total yards in its second shutout in as many games.

✳ SEPTEMBER 14 - 20, 2006
Delmar Sports Scene By Tommy Young Last weekend the Delmar High School football, field hockey and boys’ soccer varsity and JV teams officially got their 2006 season underway with the varsity teams winning 2 and losing 1. If you have any doubt about any of this, all you had to do was to go out to Delmar High School Saturday, and you would have seen teams from Pocomoke and St. Mark’s varsity and JV teams plus a Pop Warner game going on over on the football practice field. I only saw parts of these games because I had a long night Friday up at Bohemia Manor where I not only was up late but also re-injured my knee, so I spent most of the weekend watching football at home. However, I did see our Sports Editor Mike McClure out at the school, so I am sure he will bring you up to date on some of the Saturday action. However, I will discuss my Friday night experiences regarding DHS football. You have heard people say, “You can’t get there from here,” well, it’s just the opposite in getting from Delmar to Bohemia Manor as there are about five or six ways to get there. All you have to do is to travel in a northeasterly direction going through a variety of small towns, keep asking people as you travel portions of Delaware and Maryland. Fortunately we (Sean, Jay, Melody, Bill and I) had a driver with a new set of wheels, Sean Maloney, and Bill Brittingham who used to work this section of the peninsula to do the navigating. Because we took the scenic route, my only contribution was to show them Jimmy Foxx’s statue in Sudlersville. The only reason I knew where it was is several members of the Eastern Shore Baseball Hall of Fame were invited to the unveiling of the statue. Another monument we saw in another of the small towns, I believe it was Galena, was in memory of a former schoolteacher who was born in 1917 and died in 1991 and taught school for 50 years. I do not remember her name, but I’m sure Sean does as he kept repeating it over and over. So, you see traveling to away games with this group, as I have for the past years, has only been not only entertaining but also educational; in fact, I learned a few new words on this trip even at my age. But when I got home, I didn’t feel so bad because Mr. Webster evidently had not heard of them either. Believe me, these trips are never dull because there is constant conversation with a lot of Eastern Shore humor thrown in. I mentioned it was the scenic route, and when we reached the Sassafras River
with boats of all sizes docked in the marinas or near the two very nice restaurants, large, beautiful homes began to appear all the way to the school which in itself was very nice along with the rest of the complex. The parking lot was nearly full when we arrived, but we found a place near a grassy knoll, spread our blanket under a tree, and dined on subs, chips, and sodas. Then it was time to make our way into the stadium, which was very nice, but when I entered the press box, I didn’t recognize any of the five guys or the attractive lady who was the only one who spoke to me and found me a chair. As you may have guessed, I have held off writing about the game as long as I can because it was not a thing of beauty, but I am not putting the blame on anyone for several reasons, and they are it was the first game for both teams, and it was not football weather as our boys were cramping up all night. In fact, Matt Campbell who had not been feeling well all week had to sit out a lot of the game and only came in on defense in the second half. The officials didn’t help the course any by making one “knit-picking” call after another, which kept both teams from getting anything going. To summarize the action, the most exciting play of the game happened in the first quarter when one of Delmar’s scat backs, Jensen Dennard, scampered 62 yards for the first score of the game. Both of Delmar’s other scores came on two passes in the end zone from the Wildcats’ quarterback Alan Preston to Donald Poole. Late in the second quarter, Delmar drove to the Bohemia Manor 10-yard line and fumbled, and Bohemia Manor recovered and moved the ball the length of the field and with 38 seconds left in the first half, they scored making the score 14-7 at half time. Delmar received to begin the second half and marched down the field and Preston hit Poole in the end zone for a touchdown to make the final score of the game 21-7. Seth Benson, who is only a 10th grader, was the surprise of the night for Delmar as he not only kicked all three extra points, but also kicked off and punted the ball very well. Well, it’s another long trip for the Wildcats this week as they travel up to Wilmington to take on another Division I team which won its opening game last week, so I think we will find a little tougher opposition, so I hope the fall weather comes a little early.

Alison Bloodsworth netted three goals, Katie McMahon scored two goals and dished out two assists, Mallory Elliott had a goal and three assists, and Hali Ramey added one goal for the Wildcats. Delmar goalie Shannon Wilson recorded 10 saves in the win.

✳ SEPTEMBER 14 - 20, 2006
A view from the cheap seats By Mike McClure, Star Sports Editor I’m beginning to think I need a bus to roll in to all the games I cover, like John Madden has. Madden doesn’t like to fly so he goes to games in his big bus, loaded with all of the amenities. I don’t mind flying, but there aren’t any flights between Delmar and Seaford, etc. Last Friday night I thought I arrived at the end of the earth. With all of the other teams too far away to cover, I turned my attention to the Woodbridge Raiders who visited Colonel Richardson. Now keep in mind, I grew up in the farm country of Lancaster County where one farm looks like all the rest of the farms. One wrong turn past a horse and buggy and forget about it. I’ve also driven through the hills of West Virginia to visit family many a time. I’ve also driven out to the “boonies” for a seafood feast at Red Roost on occasion. But on Friday I was amazed by how out of the way American Corner and Colonel Richardson is. I can’t say I wasn’t warned about the school’s remoteness, but I’m a know it all sports editor who has been covering sports on Delmarva for close to 15 years. My first mistake was trying to take a shortcut from Greenwood after covering a Greenwood Mennonite soccer game. There were no signals, no signs, no nothing but a narrow road which suddenly changed from a paved road to a gravel road. I was expecting the gravel road to turn to dirt and a bright orange car to go flying over my head, indicating that I was indeed in Hazzard (sorry, I had to make a Dukes of Hazzard reference). Eventually I found my way to Feder-
alsburg and worked my way up to Colonel Richardson. It took a little time to get back on track after the game, in the dark, but I made my way home. But it wasn’t easy. If everything goes as planned I will be making my way to New Castle County this Friday night. I haven’t put my request in for a company bus or limo ride to the game yet. Maybe we need a Morningstar helicopter to transport me from game to game. Maybe I need to wake up. A coach remembers- I was out at one of the Laurel Pop Warner football game last Saturday when I heard a little voice say “hi coach, do you remember me?”. After I leaned down and peered underneath his helmet I saw who it was, it was one of my basketball players from last year. Of course I remembered him, I remember all the kids I’ve coached. With each year and each group of kids I coach the list of names and faces grows, so sometimes it takes a little longer to place a name with a face. But a coach always remembers his kids. In fact, I believe I had at least four former players playing on the Pop Warner football teams on Saturday. At the same time, I also remember most of the high school kids I’ve covered over the years. It’s my job to know who the players are, one I take very seriously. So if you see me out somewhere and I coached you or covered you, don’t be afraid to come up and say hello. Just be patient, the longer ago it was the longer it will take for the wheels to spin in my head and for me to place you.

Fight bittersweet end of summer with spicy barbecue I just read an online article in which the author stated that the end of summer may be a bittersweet time for kids. Kids? What about people like me — an adult with a little bit of kid still left inside? In my mind, end of summer sales with their mismatched bundles of bargain clothes and those sneaky sunsets creeping in earlier and earlier help to set a melancholy tone. Labor Day is the embodiment of “bittersweet” and parties are not celebrations but protests. Don’t let summer go gently. Spice up your own protest with one or more of my sizzling barbecue favorites. Barbecued Chicken With Vinegar Basting Sauce (Serves 4. You can mix the spice ahead, then add the vinegar just before using.) 1 and 1/4 cups cider vinegar 4 teaspoons chili powder 2 and 1/2 teaspoons salt 1 and 1/2 teaspoons sugar 1 teaspoon each cayenne pepper, dry mustard, paprika, ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves Prepare the barbecue, pre-heating to
The Practical Gourmet medium-high heat. Whisk the first nine ingredients in a small bowl to blend. Arrange chicken in a shallow glass dish. Spoon 1/4-cup of the barbecue sauce over; turn to coat evenly. Let stand at least 10 minutes and up to 30 minutes, turning chicken occasionally. Grill chicken until just cooked through, basting occasionally with another 1/4 cup sauce, about 5 minutes per side. Serve with remaining sauce but be sure that it’s heated through completely before using. Bon Appétit, September 1994
Soak four 12-inch-long wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes. Mix olive oil, garlic, minced ginger and crushed red pepper in shallow dish. Add shrimp, turning to coat with oil mixture. Let stand at room temperature 15 minutes or refrigerate up to 2 hours. Prepare the barbecue, pre-heating to medium-high heat, or preheat the broiler. Thread four shrimp on each of four skewers. Grill or broil just until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Sprinkle shrimp with chopped cilantro. Garnish with lemon or lime and serve immediately. Bon Appétit, October 1995

Superior Court judge to speak on Constitution Day Constitution Day, an annual national celebration now in its tenth year, will be recognized on Monday, Sept. 18 at Delaware Technical & Community College, Georgetown. The guest presenter for the 11:30 a.m. event in the theatre will be the Honorable Richard F. Stokes, judge of the Superior Court of the State of Delaware. His multi-media presentation will focus on the relationship between real-life experiences and our Constitution.

An honors graduate from Colgate University, Stokes received his JD from Duke University in 1970 and was the recipient of an American Jurisprudence Award in criminal law. He was admitted to the Delaware bar in 1970 and served as a Superior Court law clerk from 1970-1971. As a captain in the United States Air force from 1971 to 1975, he served as legal advisor, earning the USAF Commendation Medal. In 1975 he was recognized for professional trial representation from the Chief of

After a boring TV summer, Doing the Towns Together it’s football season again LAUREL AND DELMAR SOCIALS Sarah Marie Trivits . 875-3672
For some, these days which are becoming increasingly shorter and without high humidity and extreme high temperatures, life is less hectic. All that makes up the joys of summer is now just a memory for this group. For others of us, while we are very much aware of the fact that the summer is behind us, we are becoming increasingly alive and filled with anticipation for we know that when we turn on our television sets there will be something more interesting to watch than the incessant reruns of boring programs that filled the screen during the summer. Who is this group that greets early fall days with joy? We are those people who thoroughly enjoy the rough and tumble, the good, the bad and the ugly of football, be it on a Little League field, a high school level, college games being played across the nation, or professional teams with all of their pros and cons. There was a time when women who enjoyed football were very much a minority group. Times change and now women openly support their favorite team, or dare to control the remote of the television set when their favorite professional team is on the tube. After the dull programming that was presented on the tube this summer, it was a great joy to watch the Steelers and the Dolphins last Thursday evening as the 2006-07 season of professional football got under way. Actually the opening game provided the very best of football. The evening was filled with John Madden and Al Michaels presenting the ins, the outs, the ups and the downs of the game. Who can possibly argue that these two men are not the finest broadcasting team ever? John Madden has been my idol for years and years. This man knows more about football than anyone, as far as I am concerned. He presents the game in his own unique style and does nothing but improve with age. His Raider teams were the best in the nation for a long while. He has his own unique style and way to present the game of football. Al Michaels just presents the game of football. He is not competing with John Madden in the broadcasting booth, nor anyone else. He gets excited and his excitement is contagious with those of us at
Moments with Mike Virginia ‘Mike’ Barton home. The opening game saw the Pittsburgh Steelers defeat the Miami Dolphins 28-17. Granted, one touchdown was very controversial, but the Steelers would have won even if that TD was called back. Steeler head coach Bill Cowler is everything a pro coach should be. He gets totally excited, snarls and has fire in his eyes when things go not as he has predicted, but displays compassion when necessary. There is not a doubt in the world but that Cowler runs the team. He puts the fire of winning in each of his players by use of a simple glance, a glance that fills the player with determination and desire to win. Bill Cowler is a total coach. Here at home, high school football, soccer, hockey and cross country are under way for a new season. This means that schedules at home are bing shifted and revamped so that parents can get out to the ball field and support their sons and daughters. Endless hours will be spent driving kids to practice and then making the return trip when the practice is completed, shifting mealtime, and changing much of life in general. Fall can be a challenging time for the average family, especially those with kids of different ages who play on different teams. It makes for short tempers on occasion, periods of great highs and deep lows depending on whether or not the team won or lost. But, fall sports and all that they encompass make for great memories. Life may get hectic, but in the long run it is all worth the turmoil — especially when your son or daughter knows you are there to support them — win or lose. In the long run that is what it is all about. Support. Whether it is the first year athlete in the PeeWee League or the professional athlete. Now, if the Raiders can just have a good year.

Letters to the Editor Mayor’s comments on annexation By now you may have read or heard about the forthcoming Special Annexation Election to be held on Sept. 18, from 2-6 p.m. at City Hall. At that time our residents and property owners will decide if the City of Seaford should add additional lands to its corporate limits. As an elected official who has more than 20 years of service to our city, I want to state my position on this annexation election. I believe that local government should have local control over what is finally built on these lands. The city is able work with DelDOT, DNREC, the Office of State Planning, and Sussex County in voicing our concerns and steering the development that will inevitably impact our city. These lands are within the growth zone as shown in the 2003 Comprehensive Plan. Will there be challenges with development and having it work within our constraints? The answer is yes. Has the city demonstrated its ability to face those challenges and work with our citizens and developers? I believe the city has. If the lands are not annexed, then the lands may still be developed in some fashion under the Sussex County zoning of residential-agriculture. By voting yes for the annexation, the city will have greater control of the type of development and be able to provide city services including police protection to residents who will be very close to our borders, while also having greater control over roadways and upholding municipal codes. Development near our borders is going to affect our community, even if it is in the county. By allowing annexation, you are voting for local control of local properties. I encourage you to vote yes and allow the local government the right to decide our future. Edward H. Butler, Jr. Mayor City of Seaford
Open letter to Citizens of the City of Seaford and surrounding community Recently, there has been a lot of discussion, both public and private, about the upcoming annexation election in the City of Seaford. Two of the sites proposed for annexation have belonged to and been farmed by my family for several decades. Having no family members who wished to continue our farming business, my brother and I sold one of these two sites to a developer. The other site, we plan to keep indefinitely. We carefully researched the reputation of the developer before we agreed to the sale. I will not list here the details of my lifelong residency and civic involvement in Seaford, but I can say without hesitation that I have always tried to be a good Seaford citizen and neighbor. It is not my intention, at any time, to be otherwise. As an owner of land — starting with land my parents purchased and my brother and I built upon — I have a desire, in my lifetime, to see this land responsibly developed so as to be an asset to Seaford. I believe that the best and most effective way of doing this is to have the land

If this occurs our local (and accessible) government officials, with well thought out processes and plans, and meetings that allow for many opportunities for input from the public, will produce a result that will make us all proud. While some people may want Seaford to stay “just as it is,” many of us know that doing so would seriously cripple our area. Closed up buildings and declining shopping centers are not inviting faces for our community. Also, had we closed our doors to development in the past, we would have missed the opportunity to have some really great neighbors. I truly believe that everyone debating the annexation issue is in favor of what is best for the City of Seaford and our surrounding community. Issues such as the environment, traffic, storm water run off, population, and orderly growth are all very important. It is also important to consider the following reasons why annexation into the City of Seaford would best address these issues: • Annexation would be just the beginning of the process for development to occur in the city. If annexed, there would be numerous other steps where the public would have input into what occurs on the site. If annexation is denied, development could still occur through the county process but citizens could have less control over how property is developed. • Annexation would permit both the developer and citizens to have easier and more personal access to city officials and processes. • Denial of the annexation, which has never occurred in the city, could give prospective businesses the perception that growth is being stopped and boundaries being set for the size of city. • Due to requirements for storm water management and retention ponds, which are becoming even more stringent, development would create less water run off than open fields do. The City of Seaford has a reputation for being progressive, proactive, and reasonable. It is my hope that the annexation will pass and the land will come under its control. Please join me in a “yes” vote at the Special Annexation Election at City Hall on Sept. 18, 2006, from 2 to 6 p.m. Rex L. Mears, Seaford
Opposed to annexation I am writing because of my deep concern for Seaford. Do people know about the upcoming special election and what it
could mean to them and the town of Seaford? The large scale Annexation Proposal will be unlocking a Pandora’s box of building that could cause a population explosion with as many as 12,000 more homes. Are we ready to handle the issues that will come with that many new people? Who will pay for the new police needed, or the building or add-on to the schools? Will you want to wait 24 hours in an over-crowded emergency room, as I have seen happen in a town the size of Salisbury? It could be here. Will DelDOT be able to handle 50,000 more cars on the road? (It is congested most times now.) And who is going to pay for this work? Progress can be a good thing and so can growth, but it must be gauged, studied and gradual. Let us profit from the mistakes of other small towns by first planning ahead. Most of all, let us not lose the very heart of our country lifestyle. This can only be done by protecting the beauty of our town of Seaford now… whether you love to fish, watch the Eagles fly, or simply sit and watch the sun go down on the water, let us protect it by planning wisely. For once gone, it is irretrievable. Please! Go to the polls on Sept. 18 (2-6 p.m.) at the City Hall and vote against all six parcels. You can make a difference and it will make a difference in your life. Linda Meyers Seaford
What Price Annexation? On Monday, Sept. 18, Seaford citizens will have the opportunity to vote either FOR nightmarish traffic on our roads, waiting lines at the hospital, double shifts and major additions at our schools, overworked and understaffed fire and police departments, constant flooding, and a soaring tax burden to support the 50,000 additional residents, or AGAINST the six parcels proposed for annexation and for restrained, measured, and controlled growth. This is the choice you are given between the limited hours of 2 and 6 p.m. on a Monday when most working folks are left out of the voting process. Based on the 2000 census numbers, a four-hour window to vote only allows two seconds for each potential voter. The lunch hour is not even an option for working people. So surely absentee ballots must be an option provided by the city. Surprisingly, the city says that the Charter does not provide this right for annexation voting, so it is not allowed. It is not surprising then that most annexation votes are determined by less than 25 voters. Does the City of Seaford really want you to vote? The proposed annexation of six parcels totaling 606.4-acres boils down to these numbers: 606.4 acres times 18 dwelling units per acre times an average family of 4.5 persons equals nearly 50,000 more persons in nearly 12,000 new dwellings. That’s right, nearly 50,000 more persons in nearly 12,000 more homes, replacing trees and farmland and providing, you guessed it, run-off into our streams and
ponds of catastrophic proportions! .Just last month, strong storms overwhelmed drainage systems in the Seaford area, forcing evacuations and flooding our homes, even though we were considered outside the flood plain. Those flood waters collected in Hearn’s Pond and overflowed its dam into the waters downstream, creating havoc in Seaford. What happens on Hearn’s Pond happens to all of Seaford downstream. The present Hearn’s Pond dam is in a state of disrepair and proved inadequate for the second time in the last five years to handle the run-off of smallscale development; 12,000 more homes will cause catastrophic floods to Seaford and all its outlying areas. Since the proposed annexed area is within 100 feet of Hearn’s Pond, imagine the disaster another strong storm could bring Seaford with all that new concrete replacing farmland and trees. Visions of Katrina are very possible according to the maps of the Army Corps of Engineers and The News Journal! Taking these numbers one step further, if each family in the nearly 12,000 more dwelling units owns an average of 2.5 cars, then nearly 30,000 additional cars could be jamming our roads. For comparison, Salisbury’s population is just over 25,000 and Dover’s is around 33,000. Seaford’s population would be close to 60,000. Do you want Seaford to be twice as hectic and congested as those cities? Our schools would be pushed to the brink of crisis if even one-fifth of these new residents were of school age (10,000 new students). Would you like to see double-shifts and pay for two new elementary schools, a new middle school, and a major addition to the high school? We need only look at the citizens of Milford, who are experiencing the results of rampant annexation, to see what Seaford citizens would be facing down the road. In fact, double shifts and new schools as well as additions are in Milford’s plans. Who will provide these 50,000 persons health care, police protection, and fire and rescue services? Our hospital will need to expand dramatically to meet the medical needs of 50,000 more persons. Our devoted volunteer firemen will have to spread themselves thinly, resulting in slower response times. Who will suffer for this? Who will pay for this? So, what price annexation? Limited voting rights? Constant and life-threatening floods? 30,000 cars jamming our roads? Double shifts at our schools? Waiting lines at the hospitals? Overworked and understaffed fire and police departments? Soaring taxes to pay for the services to the 50,000 new residents? The bottom line is that annexation will result in long-term Seaford residents paying for the burdens left by long-gone developers! Responsible annexation is restrained and measured. The City should be more concerned in creating a shared vision and establishing exacting standards which the citizens and developers can aspire to meet not aggressive, reckless annexation policies and decisions that push our city to the edge of rampant, unbridled, and rudderless growth, a mad rush to get all the land into the city before the county does. There is a good reason many out-ofstaters want to move and retire here: Their hometowns have already lost control. Do
MORNING STAR you want to pay for these out-of-staters because their hometowns have already gotten out of control with excessive taxes and service costs? The burning question is how deep are your pockets, Seaford? Annexation or development need not be a threat to our way of life or our pocket books. Capital projects which improve the economic, cultural, historical, environmental, and recreational aspects of our lives are welcome. Then, what is missing? Citizen input. Citizens working with the city government can create a shared vision and establish exacting standards to attract the kinds of development that will improve our community. A good start would be to take the control from the developers and place it in the hands of the Seaford citizens by making serious changes in the Seaford Charter. On Monday, Sept. 18, you can protect your financial status from further burden and preserve our small-town way of life by voting “against” each of the six exhibits! Brenda Stover Seaford
In collaboration with the members of the Hearns Pond Association for its Protection, Preservation, and Naturalization.
Concerned about annexation I wonder if the residents of Seaford realize that Hearns Pond drains into Williams Pond. When Hearns Pond dam fails, or is not opened in the event of heavy rains, Williams Pond dam becomes very dangerous. With a high density (14 families per acre) development here, the water will not be absorbed into the soil and will run directly into the pond, increasing the flood danger. This could cause disaster to LifeCare at Lofland Park and possibly to the new hospital cancer center. Seaford residents and landowners come out on Sept. 18, from 2 to 6 p.m. and vote against this high density annexation. Esther Berner Hearns Pond resident
An Open Letter to Laurel Mayor and Council and residents This is an open letter to the Laurel Mayor and Council, and the residents of Laurel. Now that the majority of our Town Council has voted to sell the site of the Laurel 4th of July festivities, church revivals, and other activities, some questions remain unanswered. I have been reading about several annexations the town is about to undertake, including 300 homes and commercial property along U.S. 13. While I aplaud this growth, we all know growth causes problems. The town will need additional employees in the administrative offices, police department, code enforcement and public works. Anyone who says the town will be able to do more without increasing employees in spite of this anticipated projected growth needs a reality check. Some departments are under staffed now. Where to house all of these new employees? The main office, police department, public works, code enforcement and the town’s alderman all share the same
✳ SEPTEMBER 14 - 20, 2006
cramped building built during the Depression. And the town is land locked for expansion by a cementary, a former train station now used by the local Historical Society and two roads. None of which can be moved. The main office needs to expand into the entire building, and each of the other crowded departments should be housed independently away from the cramped administrative building. Since some our Town Fathers in their wildest dreams think the high school will house the 4th of July event, maybe they also believe the school will allow the town to put new buildings on their land. Having administration in a building which can sue you for not paying your bills; a code enforcement department which can cite you for violating ordinances, and the alderman who has to preside over these cases located in the same building doesn’t add much creditabity to the town or a person who has to face these charges. Even though our court is a fair court the system gives the appearance of a Kangaroo Court. What about building some new buildings for some of these departments on the land the town is trying to sell? You can build several buildings on four-acres of land. A local developer has even offered fill to bring the land above flood level at a reduced price. Maybe the state can bring in some fill from other sites. If the town sells the land; when these expansions become a reality, and they will, where can they find four-acres of open land within the current town limits? If they purchase land outside in the proposed annexed areas prices for land to build new offices will be a lot more than the $400,000 plus dollars the town thinks they will receive for the land; money that will be spent before the wake-up call for new buildings. Do we raise taxes to pay for the needed land? How often have we heard, “They’re not making anymore land?” It is my opinion if the town sells this parcel the taxpayers will live to regret it. From my presentation to the council a few weeks ago, I left with the impression they had not done their home work and that maybe a deal had already been cut for the sale of the land before the vote. Time will tell; in the meantime I hope the council rethinks their recent vote to sell this parcel. To the residents of Laurel who have been silent for years while our town slowly dies, it’s about time for you to speak out. Frank B. Calio Lifetime Laurel resident.
NARFE provides benefits for Federal Employees All Americans over 50 are familiar with AARP because we receive a letter when we’re 50 inviting us to join. AARP has been very successful in lobbying for benefits for older Americans such as reduced rates at many hotels and restaurants, movies, etc., and more recently, the Medicare Drug Prescription (Part D). Did you know there is another retiree organization in the area: the National Active Retired Federal Employees Association (NARFE)? Federal retirees and employees
are in a separate category from the general public. NARFE is the oldest and largest organization dedicated solely to the protection of federal retiree benefits. NARFE was formed in 1921 and is one of America’s largest organizations. It is a grassroots organization headquartered in Alexandria, Va., with active chapters in every state and Puerto Rico. Delaware has five chapters: Wilmington Chapter 1922, Dover Chapter 1174, Newark Chapter 85, and two local chapters: Georgetown Chapter 1922 and Coastal Sussex Chapter 1690. When congress looks for ways to cut expenses, it invariably considers how much can be saved by taking away those benefits that were promised to federal retirees. To date, the following laws have impacted many federal retirees; 1) The Government Pension Offset (GPO), enacted as part of the 1977 Social Security Amendments, treats two-thirds of government pension as if they are Social Security benefits which must be offset dollar for dollar from any spouse for which they are entitled. Normally, a spouse of a person covered by Social Security is entitled, upon death of that spouse, to receive the larger of either his/her Social Security benefits or that of the deceased spouse. Under the GOP, if the surviving spouse is a retired federal employee, two-thirds of the federal retirement must be deducted from any spousal benefit otherwise due from the deceased spouse’s Social Security benefit. 2) The Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP), enacted as part of the 1983 Social Security Amendments as a way of improving the long-range picture of the Social Security Trust Fund, reduces the Social Security long enough to earn retirement benefits by as much as 60 percent. This means that a federal retiree who, through work covered by Social Security prior to working for the federal government, had earned Social Security benefits of $500 per month at the age 62 would have that benefit reduced to $200 per month under WEP. 3) Under an executive order by President Clinton at the end of his term, federal employees still in the work force pay their health care premiums with after-tax dollars, which amounts to approximately $400 per year. NARFE has been lobbying congress for several years to get this inequity corrected. 4) On the Delaware state level, those retirees with Social Security benefits pay no state tax on those benefits. Federal retirees had an amount equal to FICA withheld from their salaries, but are not granted similar state tax relief. This is another inequity which NARFE hopes to eliminate soon. While NARFE is strictly a lobbying organization, it does support Alzheimer’s Research. This article was republished from the Wave Newspaper, with permission from the author from Coastal Sussex Chapter 1690. The local chapter NARFE Georgetown Chapter 1992, holds monthly collections for Alzheimer’s. The Georgetown Chapter 1992 meets the third Monday of every month from September through June. These meetings are held at the Flight Deck restaurant at the Georgetown Airport, beginning at noon with lunch being served. However the September meeting has been changed to a covered dish luncheon at the home of Betty and Les Martens, at 9298 Middleford Road, Seaford. All federal re-

Tragic event deserves “hue & cry” Why haven’t we heard a “Hue & Cry” over the terrible thing that happened on Sunday afternoon, Aug. 13. An outstanding member of our community was killed by a reckless driver. Dr. Sarah Dykstra was a devoted mother of three young children, while also being a skilled caretaker of our pets. Those who met her know she was a charming, wonderful person. I have seen the state police report in the paper about this tragic event. The report said the impact threw her 90 feet!

cial guests will be the Kings Ambassadors. There is just something about this event that gives you that great fall feeling. A chance to meet seldom seen friends, good food and enjoyable for children. I congratulate Kings Church members on a great community event for both Laurel and Delmar. A week ago I was in Happy Harry’s when employees were trying to reach the police after a shoplifter had made off with some items. As in a lot of the small towns, the first call to the police was unanswered because officers were out on patrol. This brought up a conversation between myself, assistant manager Joyce Shultie and the clerk behind the counter. A few years ago, the town of Laurel was going to see if it could get some volunteers to man the phones at the department when there was no one there available. The young lady behind the counter (forgive me, I forget her name) said she would be glad to do it as she could get college credits for doing it. The town of Laurel may want to revisit this idea. Well, fall is upon us — at least the signs are there. I’m talking about the harvesting of the corn which can be seen on most country roads in the area. Now those very efficient combines harvest every ear of corn in the field, leaving none for the picking off the ground. Years ago there was plenty on the ground for the picking
up, giving many a school boy and farmer’s son something to do. Can you imagine trying to sell the fodder or shucks 50 or 60 years ago? Times do change, don’t they? We have not heard much on the status of Laurel’s Shawn Phillips in some time. Shawn, as a lot of you know, was a star player for the Laurel baseball team several years ago and an outstanding pitcher for Del. State who signed with the Texas Rangers. In his rookie season he did a fantastic job only to have arm problems after the season. After an operation, Shawn had to rest his “flipper” for several months before pitching for an Independent League team in Washington, Pa., late this year. Shawn went 3-0 and his fast ball is back to the 91 to 93 miles per hour speed. Shawn is a determined young man. If that alone got you to the major leagues he would be there now. In any event, Shawn, we are still rooting for you! You ask, “How’s Dick Whaley doing?” Well, I haven’t seen him, but I do know it’s about this time of year that he takes those beginning hunter courses. This is the 47th year and this year come rabbit season, they are going to turn him loose along with one rabbit. There won’t be much rabbit stew at the Whaleys again this year, folks. See you soon.
New regs for nutrient application being considered The Delaware Nutrient Management Commission has announced the following proposed modifications to the current Delaware Nutrient Management Regulations: • Application of commercial fertilizer will be prohibited during the period of Dec. 1 to Feb. 15 and/or on frozen or snow covered ground each year. There may be a special exemption for application to some species of turf and some crops such as winter wheat that are actively growing. Each exemption will be on a case by case basis and must be approved by a certified nutrient consultant. • Misapplication, either purposely or negligently, on impervious surfaces, such as sidewalks, roads, and other paved areas,
is prohibited throughout the year. Misapplication violations will result in fines and/or suspension of commercial nutrient handler certification. Violations can be avoided by cleaning up the misapplied commercial fertilizer or chemical within the same day of misapplication. • Any farm that handles and applies nutrients such as animal manure is prohibited from such application on snow covered or frozen ground. • The nutrient management planning deadline for all current property owners that handle nutrients is January 2007. The modified regulations mandate that all new property owners after January 2007 shall have a plan in place within 180 days from the date that the property owner or manag-
er assumes control of the nutrient application on that property. Public hearings on the proposed regulation modifications will be held at the Delaware Department of Agriculture on Sept. 26, at 6 p.m., at the Gumboro Fire Company Hall on Sept. 28, at 6 p.m., and at the Delaware Department of Agriculture on Oct. 27 at 1 p.m. Otherwise, comments may be submitted in writing, on or before Oct. 27, 2006, to the Delaware Department of Agriculture, 2320 S.

Labor Day DUI Enforcement Delaware Law enforcement officers arrested 17 individuals for Driving Under the Influence (DUI) of alcohol over the Labor Day weekend. Twelve of the DUI arrests were made by eight law enforcement agencies conducting DUI saturation patrols as part of the national DUI Crackdown called “Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest.” The remaining five DUI arrests were made by the Sussex County DUI Task Force at their sobriety checkpoint on Saturday night on Rt. 1 in Fenwick Island. In addition to the DUI arrests officers issued one citation for an underage drinking violation, nine citations for seat belt violations, eight citations for other traffic violations and apprehended one wanted individual. A total of five sobriety checkpoints were originally scheduled for the holiday weekend, but were cancelled due to the heavy rains of Tropical Storm Ernesto. Although Labor Day marks the official end to summer, the Checkpoint Strikeforce campaign will continue with weekly checkpoints through New Year’s Eve.
DSU band director charged with rape Delaware State Police have arrested the Delaware State University Band director for allegedly raping a 20-year-old male student. The incident allegedly occurred late Saturday night into early Sunday morning at the band director’s apartment in Linkside Apartments. Miguel A. Bonds, 31, was arrested last night and charged with rape second degree, two counts of unlawful sexual contact third degree, and providing alcohol to an underage person. Detectives learned of the incident Sunday afternoon when the victim came to Troop 3 to report it. The victim advised that on Saturday evening, after the football game, he was talking to Bonds on campus. During the conversation, the victim told Bonds that he was planning on pledging a fraternity next year, and Bonds offered to “teach him what he needs to know about
pledging.” The two then left campus and the victim followed Bonds to his apartment. After they arrived at the apartment, they watched a movie and then Bonds allegedly invited the victim into his bedroom while he was cleaning up. Bonds then offered the victim a drink and gave him an alcoholic beverage called a hypnotic, which contains vodka. The victim stated that within minutes he was feeling intoxicated but different than he ever felt before. The victim advised that he began having problems with his balance, so he sat down on the edge of the bed. Bonds then allegedly convinced the victim to lie down and he eventually put on a pornographic movie. As the victim was lying on the bed, drifting in and out of consciousness, Bonds allegedly began performing oral sex on him and touched him inappropriately. The victim did not remember much after that until he woke up in the morning and discovered that he was naked lying on the floor with a blanket and pillow. After waking up, the victim vomited several times and fell asleep again. The victim then woke up around 10 a.m. and left the apartment. After leaving, the victim received a phone call from Bonds, who asked if he remembered anything. The victim stated he told him no and hung up. Bonds was committed to the Delaware Correctional Center in lieu of $12,100 secured bond.
International Lottery Scam Delaware State Police Detectives are warning the public about an increase in complaints from people who are being scammed by what is labeled as an international lottery. The scam begins with letters and checks from several countries, including Canada, the United Kingdom and Nigeria. Victims receive a check for a specific amount and a letter stating they won an international lottery. The letters say the winners need to send back a portion of the money in a Western Union wire transfer before the rest of the money can be released. For instance, the check will be for $60,000, and they ask for $9,000 before the rest of the money can be released. Some of the victims then take the checks to their bank and deposit it. The banks will usually take the check since there is an authentic bank name on it; however, it can take foreign checks anywhere from 30 to 60 days to clear. When the check does clear, it is returned as a counterfeit. Some of the victims may have already spent the money, and the bank then has the right to pursue the account holder civilly.
If someone receives one of these checks from the fraudulent lottery they should immediately shred and discard it. There is no reason to notify the police. If people decide to send money to one of these international lotteries, they can notify police who will write a theft report, but they should not expect to get their money back. There is virtually no way to find the perpetrators of theses crimes. Remember, if it looks too good to be true, it most likely is. Also, it is illegal to play any type of international lottery, and people should be suspicious when they receive a letter and a check, knowing that they have not played any type of international lottery. No legitimate lottery requires the winner to pay to receive a prize.
Harrington explosion The Delaware State Fire Marshal's office arrested two Harrington, Delaware teenagers Monday, Sept. 11, in connection with Sunday night's explosion in Harrington.

Opinion Who will control the growth?
Guest Column Five Years Later By US Rep. Mike Castle It is hard to believe it was five years ago that terrorists used airliners as weapons and caused one of the greatest tragedies our country has ever faced, killing thousands of innocent Americans and challenging our homeland security. On this five year anniversary, I know each and every one of us is keeping in our thoughts and prayers the families and friends who lost loved ones on that clear September day. Our memories must sustain us through these difficult times. In the wake of September 11th, we grew stronger as a nation, united by our determination to protect our homeland and to prevent such a horrific attack from every happening again. In Congress, we went to work, passing laws to bolster aviation security, strengthen our borders, and enhance our intelligence sharing capabilities. Additionally, one of the critical lessons learned in the aftermath of the September 11th terrorist attacks is that we now live in a global community, where governments must cooperate and share information in order to ensure the security of their citizens. This was most evident recently in the coordinated effort by the United Kingdom and the United States in thwarting a terrorist plan to attack planes over the Atlantic. However, the threats of terrorism are wide-ranging, and while we are gradually improving our ability to detect and disrupt terrorist plots, it is essential that we continue to evolve our techniques and get to the point where we are thinking a few steps ahead of our enemies.
This means improving security not only at airports, but also in several other critical areas: • Rail and Transit Security - One major hole in our homeland security strategy is rail and transit security as evidenced by recent bombings in Madrid, London and India. • Port Security - Clearly, another flaw in our national defense system is port security. This point was evident earlier this year when I joined many of my colleagues in calling into question plans to allow a foreign company to begin managing certain U.S. ports, without proper oversight. • Biometric Tracking Systems - Another lesson learned in the last five years is that terrorists are determined to exploit our nation’s openness, including using our immigration system to illegally enter the U.S. Currently, we do not have the ability to adequately screen persons coming into our country and make certain their level of threat. • Preparing First-Responders - Finally, it is imperative that we improve our level of preparedness by giving our nation’s first responders the tools necessary to keep us safe. I have introduced legislation that would enable volunteer firefighters and EMS personnel to more readily respond to disasters like 9/11. It is also important that we honor our brave soldiers and first-responders, who have worked so hard to keep our country safe since September 11, 2001. While we are safer than we were five years ago, it is vital that we use this opportunity to be proactive and fix our current security problems before it is too late.

Unless we change our laws and raise property taxes to unheard of levels, growth will continue in Delaware, and particularly in Sussex County. For years people in western Sussex County watched as coastal Sussex County filled with homes, condos, shopping centers, hotels and every other form of development. We witnessed prosperity in the form of higher property values and we wondered why our parents did not buy property along the coast years ago before the incredible boom. We watched as highways were built in an attempt to keep up with the development. When possible, we made plans to visit the beach on weekdays instead of weekends to avoid the congestion. At one time in the not-too-distant past, rapid development was not a major concern in western Sussex. This changed a few years ago and now developers have their eyes on every town. Two major proposals for western Sussex County have captured the attention of area residents. The first involves a cluster of annexation proposals in the Hearns Pond area that will be decided by Seaford voters on September 18. The second is a mega-complex planned for an area between Seaford and Laurel. (At presstime, we learned that a meeting scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 13, in Laurel to discuss this complex was postponed.) In this edition of the Star are letters of support and opposition for the Hearns Pond area annexation election in Seaford. Supporters point out that the annexations will give Seaford better control over growth. Opponents feel that the growth will be at the expense of current residents outside of the city limits. The issue will be decided on Monday, Sept. 18, between the hours of 2 and 6 p.m. I have a lot of respect for Seaford’s leadership and I believe they will do all they can to look out for the interests of city residents and those nearby. This is a good

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