Laurel citizens will vote on proposed referendum Oct. 4 By Lynn R. Parks
After failing in late March to pass a referendum on a proposed $137 million building project, the Laurel School District is trying again. Changes to the proposed project make it less expensive and, said school board president Lois Hartstein, more attractive to voters. Adding to the district’s cost savings, the state has upped the percentage of project cost that it will assume, from 74 to 76 percent. The amount that district taxpayers would have to pay has gone down correspondingly, from 26 percent to 24 percent. Unlike in the last referendum, when voters were asked for just a single up or down vote, voters will answer two questions when they go to the polls. First, they will indicate whether they want two new schools built in the district, one for elementary students, kindergarten through the fifth grade, and the second for middle school and high school students. Second, they will cast ballots on whether or not, in addition to the new building construction, the district can rebuild or renovate its athletic fields. The first option, with new buildings only, would cost a little more than $117 million. That translates to an additional $1.33 per $100 of property assessed value on school tax bills, averaged over the 20-year life of the bonds. It is also $19.6 million less than the cost of the original proposal. If the second option for revamped athletic fields is thrown in, total cost would be nearly $121 million, $16 million less than the cost of the original proposal. The first and second options combined would cost taxpayers an additional $1.37 per $100 assessed value

averaged over 20 years, or 4 cents per $100 more than just the first option alone. Following March’s defeated referendum, the district held several public meetings, at which citizens were asked to voice what they didn’t like about the proposed project. The district has responded to those suggestions, Hartstein said. For example, she said, voters didn’t like the idea of building a new elementary school on the grounds of what is now the middle school. They preferred to keep the elementary school on the grounds of North Laurel Elementary, which now serves students in grades two, three and four. The potential building lot at North Laurel is smaller than the one at the

middle school, Hartstein said, and cannot accommodate a one-story building large enough to house the 1,200 students for which it is planned. But the Department of Education has agreed to allow the district to build a two-story building there that would be large enough for all six grades. Voters also didn’t like the district’s proposal to demolish most of the existing middle school, leaving only the heart of the building, its original 1921 portion, for administrative offices. The district’s new proposal calls for much of the building to be left standing. While the new elementary school is being constructed, the old middle school would house students who otherwise would attend North Laurel. continued on page 3

Sussex County property taxes are due on September 30
The deadline for Sussex County property owners to pay their 2010 taxes is only a few days away. Sussex County reminds property owners that Thursday, Sept. 30, is the deadline to pay annual County tax bills. Payments received after that will be subject to a 1.5 percent penalty. Payments sent by mail must be postmarked no later than Sept. 30. This summer, the County’s Treasury Division issued more than 168,500 annual tax bills totaling an estimated $101 million. The bills include County property taxes, as well as County sewer and water, tax ditch and street lighting fees, where applicable. Additionally, tax statements include local school district taxes, which are collected by the Coun-
ty, but turned over to the State of Delaware. Delaware law requires Sussex County to bill property owners for school taxes on behalf of the eight public school districts within the county. Sussex County accepts tax payments by cash, check, money order or credit card. Taxpayers have different options to make their payments and check their tax status. These include: Through lender Many taxpayers do not receive a paper statement, and instead have their annual taxes paid out of an escrow account by their mortgage lenders. If these taxpayers have any questions regarding the status of their escrow accounts or tax payment, they should contact their lenders.
Nanticoke Memorial Hospital offering flu shots
It’s time to get your seasonal flu shot. Influenza is a serious disease that affects many people, including the elderly and those with serious, long-term health problems.

While there are many different flu viruses, the 2010–2011 flu vaccine protects against the three viruses that research suggests will be most common: influenza A H3N2 virus, an influenza B virus and the 2009 H1N1 virus. Nanticoke Memorial Hospital is offering seasonal flu shots to individuals 18 years of age and older at Nanticoke Occupational Health (543 Shipley Street, Suite F, Seaford, DE) from: 1-4 p.m. and 5-7 p.m. on Sept. 29 and Oct. 6; and 9 a.m.- noon on Sept. 23, Sept. 30 and Oct. 7.

Ultimately, it would be used as extra classroom space, perhaps for an expanded technical studies program. Administrative offices would remain where they are, in the separate administrative building. This plan would save the district $4.9 million over the original plan. “This is a better plan for the future,” Hartstein said. “We all hope that Laurel will take off and grow and having additional classroom space to accommodate that is a good thing.” The district’s new plan to connect the new middle school and the new high

school, so that the buildings can share the heating and air conditioning system and maybe even the kitchen, means a savings of $11 million. Middle school and high school student bodies would be separated in the combination 1,400-pupil building. The district has also added to the project the possibility of renovating existing athletic fields instead of replacing them all. All fields in the district would be either replaced or spruced up. Hartstein said that final plans for the construction will be completed once district voters approve funding. “I know that that frustrates voters, because we can’t
give them a lot of detail about specifics,” she said. Despite that, she said that she is optimistic that the revised building plan will be approved by voters. And she believes that the process of coming up with a new plan was good for the district as well as for the community as a whole. “We have people very interested in our schools, and any time you do that, it’s a good thing,” she said. “The Laurel School District has not had a major capital referendum in 20 years,” she added. “In March 2012, the district will pay off the last major cap referen-
dum. The school taxes in Laurel currently are the lowest in the county and have not been increased for years. With the state’s project share increasing from 74 percent to 76 percent and the construction costs down, now is the time to make the commitment to improve our schools and improve our community.”

Laurel will continue July 4th celebration By Tony E. Windsor
It was unclear for a few moments during Monday night’s Laurel Mayor and Council meeting if the annual July 4th celebration would continue next year. During the September 20 meeting Laurel Mayor John Shwed introduced discussion about having the town officially endorse the 2011 town celebration. “We were put in rush last year after the Chamber of Commerce decided to no longer coordinate the event,” he said. “I thought it would be good if we decided as a group to continue with the Independence Day celebration.” Shwed asked if the council would be willing to take a vote to endorse the event. Councilman Don Phillips said before he was comfortable voting he would like to see more details. “I would like to see detailed plans outlining who will be responsible for what,” he said. “I would like to know more about it.” Shwed responded to Phillips saying the plans would be much like last year and Laurel Operations Manager Jamie Smith would be involved and the event would be town led. However, hearing hesitation from Phillips, Shwed added, “We can vote on this and if you do not want the 4th of July event, okay. Just vote it up or vote it down.” Councilman Alan Schweitzer, who was spending his first night on town council after being appointed by Shwed to fill the remaining term of former councilman Bill
Trujilio, said he had heard a lot of good comments from citizens about the recent town-led community event. “I believe everyone looks forward to this celebration and I would like to see it continue,” he said Councilwoman Robin Fisher suggested that starting earlier in the planning of the event would be helpful. “If the event committee could start earlier this year perhaps we could get more support for Jamie (Smith). Because this started so late last year she did a lot. It would be good if we could get some help to take some of the responsibility off of Jamie this year,” she said. Shwed said the issue of timing is primarily why he wanted to introduce the discussions. “Last year we had little time,” he said. “If we start planning now we have nine months to work things out.” Shwed went on to say he feels the annual event is “psychologically important” to the people of Laurel. “The 4th of July celebration is important to the people of the town and that is why I stuck my neck out last year to assure we continued it after the Chamber backed out and that is why I support it this year,” he said. Councilwoman Terry Wright said she was there when the Laurel Chamber of Commerce started the 4th of July celebration and felt it was unfortunate that the Chamber stopped its leadership involvement in the event. “But, the town picked it up, thanks to John Shwed,” she said. “Everyone I talk
to has good comments about the event. I think we would have a very big hole left in our community without this celebration.” Shwed brought the discussions to a close saying that he believes the public liked their event. “This is not too difficult to decide,” he said. Shwed then asked for the council to motion and vote on whether to continue the annual 4th of July celebration in 2011. The council voted unanimously to support the town’s leadership in the upcoming event. Councilman Phillips wanted to make it clear that his desire to know more about the event before voting had nothing to do with whether he supports the event. “I support this event,” he said. “I consider it to be a part of the town’s heritage. My concerns, as always, are about the budget. I think it is important for the public to be aware that this year’s fireworks display was paid for totally by donations. The town does incur overtime for employees who have to work during the event. But, a lot of what they do is donated. I simply want to make sure that the finances associated with the event are understood by the public.” Shwed said it was important that even more community volunteers respond to help support the event. “We need volunteers to step up and supplement the leadership of the town staff,” he said. “It is our town so let’s get behind it and get more people involved.”

Sussex will distribute $600,000 in revenue
Sussex County government is receiving some positive financial news, and that will mean more money in the pockets of police and fire companies and local taxpayers. County Council, at its Tuesday, Sept. 21, meeting, approved a plan to return nearly $600,000 in excess general fund revenue that a preliminary report shows was above expenditures in the budget year that ended June 30. An official audit will be in hand by the end of the year, but county leaders expect the numbers to be in line with preliminary findings. In all, officials estimate the county collected $613,000 in added revenue in Fiscal 2010, thanks in part to a variety of factors, including reduced grants to local fire companies and police, budget savings on the part of county staff, and a slowly improving economy. County Council approved using $250,000 of the excess revenue to waive the $3 per-person capitation tax in next year’s tax billings; using $200,000 to recognize employees who have helped reduce costs by 16 percent in the past two years; restoring to 90 percent, or $2,500 each for a total of $52,500, aid to municipal police departments; and fully funding fire service grants with $91,854. “The money belongs to the people,” County Council President Vance Phillips said. “When there is excess, it should be returned.”

Model Railroad Club delights kids of all ages By James Diehl When Bill Shehan sees a child’s face light up at the sight of a model train steaming around the tracks, it takes him back to carefree days in Baltimore more than seven decades ago – to the time when nothing else mattered except for his train sets. Now 82 years old, the founder of the Delmarva Model Railroad Club is still obsessed with the once popular form of transportation, boasting enough model trains to fill up an entire room in the club’s headquarters in Delmar. He may not seem like a hero to many, but to the children who spend days watching the dozens of trains go whizzing around the tracks every year, he is the “king of the railroad.” They come in all shapes and sizes to see his trains, and the trains of other club members. All are memorable, though some more so than others. “I’ll never forget this little autistic boy we had in here one year. He just loved the trains and would go right around the layout with them,” remembers Shehan. “His father even joined the club so he could bring him up here, but he’s moved out of the area now. He was an excellent kid and I enjoyed him so much.” Now more than 50 members strong, the Delmarva Model Railroad Club holds open houses every year during the holidays. More than 1,000 visitors marvel at the miniature versions of the long-gone locomotives during each one of them. Housed by St. Stephen’s United Methodist Church on State Street, the model railroaders give back to their community in many ways. They donate to the church and other organizations, they help members of the Boy Scouts earn their merit badges and they host school groups from time to time, among many other things. Their goal is simply to convey the joys
Heroes series
If you know of someone who has dedicated his or her life to service to others, suggest their names for this series. Contact James Diehl at 302-222-2685 or email Bryant richardson, brichardson@ mspublications.com of model railroading to members of the public, old and young alike. “A lot of people don’t remember that Delmar was a railroad town, and the people seem to be interested in what we have up here,” says Shehan. “I notice some people who are here every time we’re open and they’ll just stay here all day. There seems to be a lot of interest in trains here in Delmar.” Shehan founded the Delmarva Model Railroad Club in 1984 shortly before a hobby shop he owned and operated in Salisbury went out of business. He was offered the second floor of St. Stephen’s in 1985 and has operated the club, which boasts members from Delaware, Maryland and Virginia, out of that location ever since. His train collection is extensive, the oldest component being a 1917 Lionel version of an old steam locomotive. Shehan has blue trains and red trains and black trains and green trains, even a Thomas the Tank Engine set that appeals to the young, and the young at heart. It’s been a lifetime of work, but one that continues paying its own unique kind of dividends. “My father worked for the B & O Railroad as a yardmaster and he got me my first train set when I was about two years old,” Shehan says. “It was an old American Flyer with two passenger cars. I remember that because my grandmother
Bill Shehan founded the Delmarva Model Railroad Club in 1984 and has been showcasing his extensive model train collection ever since. Now more than 50 members strong, the club has become an integral part of the Delmar community.
would never let me have anything but the passenger trains because that’s what she wanted in the Christmas Garden.” Shehan’s interest in model trains never ceased; it remains just as strong today as it was when he received that first train 80 years ago in Charm City. Still as enthusiastic as ever, he tries today to pass that passion on to area youngsters. Thomas the Tank Engine may get their attention, but it’s the larger and more complex layouts that most children eventually gravitate to. And every time he sees a smile creep onto the face of a child, he can’t help but smile himself. “It makes me feel real happy that the kids enjoy the trains,” he says. “With the children, I try to see what their interests are and then I’ll talk to them about that. But their eyes really light up when they see the big trains.” The Delmarva Model Railroad Club is the area’s largest club for model railroaders. Several thousand square feet of space is taken up in their headquarters with model trains and model train equipment and supplies. It all started in 1984 when a baker’s dozen of original members discussed the formation of the club during a meeting at Shehan’s old hobby shop. Concluding that there was, indeed, enough interest and
support to form a club, those original 13 members laid the groundwork for the club that exists today. Now celebrating its 26th anniversary, Shehan’s vision of keeping the hobby of model railroading alive has certainly come to pass. Thousands of people have seen the club’s collection of trains, and thousands more likely will in the future. That’s exactly what Shehan has in mind. “All we want to do is entertain and educate the public about model railroading,” he says. “We’re really just a bunch of guys who enjoy playing with trains. Heck, I’m 82 and I still play with trains. But it means a lot to us that people are interested in our trains, even though it’s mostly a matter of entertainment for them.” The Delmarva Model Railroad Club will be holding its annual open houses on the last weekend of November and the first weekend of December, in addition to the second and third weekends of January. Hours are on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sundays from noon to 5 p.m. Donations collected during the events are split between the club and St. Stephen’s United Methodist Church.

Governor encourages ‘good government’ feedback Governor Jack Markell asks Delawareans for their ideas, advice and constructive feedback for improving state government. Delawareans can submit their ideas via the newly updated ideas.delaware.gov website. “In town halls and community forums we held across the state, so many people offered great ideas on how to make our state government more efficient and effec-
tive,” said Markell. “Many of those suggestions became solutions – from selling a state plane, to slashing the size of our state fleet, to replacing more forms and more paperwork with online only options to reducing the size and cost of state real estate. “Better jobs, stronger schools and more cost effective government are just some of the areas where Delaware can move for-
ward even faster. And ideas.delaware.gov is one of the places to make your thoughts heard.” Ideas like the Business Finders’ Fee, a program that rewards people who bring new jobs to the state, can make a real difference in moving Delaware forward. The ideas.delaware.gov website is a continued effort to ensure Delawareans have a vehicle to submit their thoughts and
ideas. The Governor’s office will consider each idea. At noon every Friday, a new video message is posted to the Governor’s website and YouTube channel. Transcripts of the messages are posted and the audio version of the Governor’s message is available on iTunes as a podcast for distribution to personal MP3 players and home computers.
Friday is tournament tee time Players are ready to tee up for the Nanticoke Health Services Open Day Golf Tournament, September 24, at Heritage Shores in Bridgeville. Proceeds for the 18-hole fourperson Open Day tournament will be applied towards the purchase of cardio-respiratory monitors for Nanticoke Memorial Hospital’s nursery. The monitors measure a newborn’s breathing rate, heart rate and oxygen levels. Caregivers utilize the monitor’s measurements to determine the health of the child and assist in a treatment plan. Participants will enjoy 18-holes of golf at Heritage Shores Club, several specialty opportunities during the round of play and delicious food, along with team prizes for Gross and Net. A full field of participants is expected. Throughout the course players will have numerous chances to test their skills by competing in contests for Longest Drive, Closest-To-ThePin, Moving-On-Up Drive and a Hole-In-One. All participants will
have the opportunity to putt through a three-step qualifying round, and one individual will putt for $2,500. Presenting Sponsor for the tournament is Nemours Health & Prevention Services. This year’s planning committee consists of John Downes, Patti Hastings, Rex Mears, Kelly Sellers, Mike Stang, Patty Stroud and Mike Vincent. Sponsorship opportunities for the tournament include Eagle, Birdie, and Par level sponsorships, as well as Flag, Hole, Cart, and Team Prizes. Sponsorship opportunities are available to individuals and businesses.

Carper narrating WWII documentary
Thomas R. Carper, Delaware’s senior United States senator, will provide the voice for “Vanishing Voices of World War II; Southern Delaware’s Humble Heroes,” an hour-long documentary honSen. Carper oring some of the First State’s brave World War II veterans. The film, being produced through a partnership between local author James Diehl and Milford-based Watermark Productions, is scheduled for release on Veteran’s Day. “I am extremely honored that Sen. Carper has agreed to be a part of this project, which will recognize the sacrifices made by members of the ‘Greatest Generation’ right here in Delaware,” says Diehl, a native of Seaford and near lifelong resident of Sussex County. Himself a veteran of the conflict in Vietnam, the senator is the son of Richard Carper, who served in the United States Navy during World War II. Sen. Carper’s uncle, Bobby Patton, was killed at the age of 19 when a Japanese kamikaze pilot crashed into the U.S.S. Suwannee, an air-
craft carrier in the Pacific. “I am honored that James asked me to narrate this film,” said Sen. Carper. “As the son, cousin and nephew of brave men who fought in World War II, helping tell the story of Delawareans who were there is a humbling responsibility. Their stories speak for themselves; I will simply provide context so their stories may be understood and shared by all of us who are so indebted to them for their service.” “Vanishing Voices of World War II; Southern Delaware’s Humble Heroes” will feature 25 of the 100 veterans included in Diehl’s two books, “World War II Heroes of Southern Delaware,” released last year, and “World War II Heroes of Coastal Delaware,” scheduled for a May 2011, release. While many of the recollections in the film can be read about in Diehl’s book project, the film will allow viewers to put faces to the names, to see the emotions etched on the faces of those involved in history’s grandest war. Told from the perspective of men, and a handful of women, who served during that time period and today call Sussex County home, this film will allow their voices to be heard forever. From Pearl Harbor, to Iwo Jima, D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge, among many other parts of the war, their stories are told with passion and pride.
We’re working hard
“More than anything, what comes through in these video accounts is the pride these men and women have in the United States of America,” says Diehl. “They gave so much, and really asked for nothing in return. If I can help preserve their stories, even in a small way, then it is my honor and privilege to do so.” A two-and-a-half minute video trailer of the documentary can be viewed by visiting Diehl’s website, www.ww2-heroes. com. The site also features brief bios of the first 50 World War II veterans, several of whom have already passed on, as well as much more information about southern Delaware’s humble heroes of World War II. The 234 page “World War II Heroes of Southern Delaware” is the first in a two-part series that pays tribute to area veterans of the Second World War. The book received a first-place award in the Delaware Press Association’s 2009 communications competition in the category of “Non Fiction Book-History.” The early profiles from the book were also named a first-place award winner in the 2007 Maryland-Delaware-D.C. Press Association’s editorial competition. More information about Diehl’s ongoing project honoring Sussex County’s World War II veterans can be obtained by visiting www.ww2-heroes.com.

Laurel citizen seeks answers to question about Laurel’s government By Tony E. Windsor She has made numerous appearances before the Laurel Mayor and Council and each time has been extraordinarily frank and to the point with her concerns. Monday night was no exception as Laurel resident MaryAnn Rivas took to the council chamber podium seeking answers to a dozen pointed questions about Laurel’s municipal government. Rivas told the council that she was interested in getting written responses to her questions from the town that are “informative and proactive.” One by one she asked the questions: • Who is overseeing the day to day running of the town and are they being adequately compensated? • What power does the Mayor have other than one vote on legislative matters? • What happened to the ordinance to fine landlords and owner-occupied homes for excessive police calls? • What has happened in the town finances to require taxes and water and sewer rates to be raised? She elaborated on the questions pointing out that the town has been forced to cut back on staff in the past few months. “We have seen six town positions eliminated,” she said. “What caused revenue to decline so drastically? How much revenue has been coming in from annexed land” How would you have paid a town manager? Are impact fees for water and sewer service still collected on vacant houses and abandoned land?” • How are rental inspections going to
Fall Favorites
be carried out with only one full time person and one part time person? • Why didn’t we curtail the use of nonemergency town automobiles being taken home if we had such financial problems? Rivas explained that she believes this issue has resulted in putting citizens at risk and police who have to go to dangerous areas with no backup. • Are you (council members) paid if you are not present at a meeting? • Why are those who do not live in the corporate limits of Laurel given time to speak at meetings? Rivas said she feels people who do not reside in the town should not be given the right to speak at town meetings. “I am speaking about those who do not pay taxes or water and sewer fees to the town,” she said. “Their opinion on the town business and operations are irrelevant and legally null and void,” she said. • Rivas posed a question dealing with her opinion of the aesthetic view of the community. “Let’s say you live in Portsville, how would you take people visiting, perhaps dignitaries, to the American Legion,” she asked? “What route would you take to avoid being embarrassed?” • In regards to the Mayor and Council’s use of laptop computers during monthly meetings, Riva asked, “Were these laptops purchased with grant money expressly for your use? Or should the grant money have been used in a more productive manner? Do you use the laptops for personal use also?” • Why do apartment complexes not
have their own security? “Since they (complexes) utilize police protection often, they should have internal security for their residents,” she added. • Are water and sewer fees being put in the general fund or kept separate as directed by the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control? Following Rivas’ presentation Laurel Mayor John Shwed thanked her and
assured her she would get written responses to each of her questions. “You have given a us a clear outline of questions,” he said. “I have no problems with any of the questions you have asked. We will be sure to respond to each question in writing,” he said. Councilman Don Phillips also said that the council will make the written responses available to the public at the next council meeting in October.
Swearing in - During the Monday night meeting of Laurel Mayor and Council, Mayor John Shwed appointed Laurel businessman Alan Schweitzer to fill a two-year term left open with the resignation of former Councilman Bill Trujilio. Trujilio left Laurel recently and moved with his family to Arizona. Schweitzer is a Laurel accountant who resides on Central Avenue. He will represent Laurel’s Ward 3. He also serves as a paramedic and has been an active member of the Laurel Volunteer Fire Department. Pictured here Schweitzer is sworn in Monday night by Mayor Shwed (from left to right): Schweitzer’s mother-in-law, Jane Foskey; Schwed, Schweitzer, Schweitzer’s wife, Jennifer, and their daughter Beth Tyler.

MORNING STAR • SEPTEMBER 23 - 29, 2010
Ministries clothe the community By The Rev. Constance Hastings St. John’s United Methodist Church
“Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed…Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.” The spiritual principle in these verses from Ecclesiastes 4: 9 and 12 express the strength and effectiveness of cooperative ministry. It was acted upon the morning of Sept. 12 through the combined efforts of the people in Seaford Wesleyan, St. Luke’s Episcopal and St. John’s United Methodist Churches. Bonnie Timmons is one of the leaders at Seaford Wesleyan Church that answered a call to serve the needy through a clothing ministry. They wanted to bless the less fortunate by setting aside one Saturday a month in which to have a free lunch and give out free clothing. But the church is located just outside of Seaford on Rt. 13, one of the busiest highways in the county. Their setting of worship was not conducive to people who have limited transportation, and the church did not have a Board of Health certificate in their kitchen to prepare food for public distribution. Even so, immediate obstacles do not have to limit ministry. Bonnie decided to call churches located in the downtown area of Seaford to inquire about the possibility of practicing ministry in another setting. The vestry of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church was very welcoming, and so began a ministry the second Saturday of the month, except July and August. As it was, the leadership of St. John’s Community Thrift Shop was also planning a giveaway of clothing this same Saturday in September. However, Suzanne Martin, one of the coordinators of the thrift shop on Conwell Street, saw a flyer about the planned lunch and free clothing distribution. As the coordinators of the thrift shop discussed it, the vision was clear. The clothing that St. John’s had planned to give away was donated and added to the blessing of the needy on Front Street that day. Persons who rely on thrift shops and similar operations are

VICTORY TABERNACLE CHURCH OF GOD
SUNDAY WORSHIP
Seaford Wesleyan Church and St. John’s Community Thrift Shop recently came together to offer free clothing for the needy.
there because inexpensive, gently worn clothing is a great way to stretch limited dollars. But the people who came that Saturday had the harsh marks of poverty all across their faces. They had nothing left to stretch. One woman talked about her 13 grandchildren that needed clothing. Another couple, having been fed and with a few items of clothing they could use in their hands, stood outside the door discussing transportation. Between them, they have only one bicycle. One of them would ride the bike, and the other would have to walk. Such are the basic levels of decisions that the poor must make. Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.” He said this to all who would follow Him. Three churches in Seaford on this mid-September day followed that call, acting as a triple braided cord. Though each may have differing worship styles, organizational patterns and doctrines of beliefs, it did not matter that day. What mattered most was the least, the last and the lost found comfort and clothing, food and fellowship, through the gathered, cooperative church ministries and love of Christ.

MORNING STAR • SEPTEMBER 23 - 29, 2010
More reminiscing about downtown Laurel’s past In reminiscing about the busy business section of Laurel, one of the most important was one I neglected to mention. Hopefully, all of the residents who were employed there for a number of years will accept this apology. The shirt factory on Market Street once occupied a large brick building between Norman Waller’s photography studio and Mr. Calio’s building where he had his shoe repair/rebuilding business for many years. The building was demolished quite a few years ago and has been an empty parking lot for quite a while now. But, at one time the business employed countless Laurelites, primarily women. The business was typical of that era and the women who worked there were adept at making a variety of clothing articles. An offshoot of the business came into being quite a few years after the clothing business was founded. The offshoot business happened when Jeannie’s Fabric Center took over occupancy of the former Ben Franklin Five & Ten Cent Store up in the block between Central Avenue and Delaware Avenue. Jeannie’s was an immediate success and a welcomed business supported by a number of home sewers not only from Laurel but from the surrounding area. The end cuts of beautiful fabrics from the shirt factory were literally snatched up by Laurel’s home sewers. Those were the days when polyester fabrics hit the fabric world and the fabric end runs were quite popular. Probably there were some who still have yardages in their sewing room, leftovers from those bygone days when so many of us made our own clothing and articles worn by family members. Jeanie’s also offered extensive trimmings and related sewing articles. But, like so many things, home sewing has almost become a thing of the past. The Blue Ridge Manufacturing Company (I believe this was the name of the business), offered employment to many in the Laurel area. Women from all over town would walk to work each day, packed lunch in hand. Their work day began early in the morning and they worked until late afternoon, quite a bit of the time under less than desirable conditions. The building was large and drafty in the winter months, hotter than Hades in the summertime. Two quick breaks of about 10 minutes each (mid-morning and mid-afternoon), and a half-hour lunch break made up their work day. During the summer months large

fans provided ventilation, but on a blistering hot day did little to cool off the building. Lunch break would find the high steps leading up to the work area filled with workers, chatting away as they enjoyed a bit of fresh air. The work could be back-breaking at times, but the women who sat out front on a break were always warm and friendly to those of us who worked downtown and passed by. During that time period I was working with the State Register (formerly the U-NJoy Ice Cream shop), and each day I walked past the workers as they enjoyed their break. While I really did not know most of the women, they were always quick with their hello and a warm smile. One of the long service workers here in Laurel was Betty Atkinson, formerly Betty German. Betty retired from the shirt factory and a telephone call reminded me of the business that provided employment to so many local women. Betty is perhaps one of Laurel’s most well-known walkers. No distance was too far for her to walk to and from, and she knew (or knows) a large percentage of the population. In our phone conversation we reminisced about the “shirt factory girls,” old times, days at Centenary United Methodist Church and our sons and daughters who grew up together and were Laurel school classmates. Her son, Ted, and our daughter, Bonnie, were members of the Class of ’69, graduates of the old Laurel High School. Her daughter, Cindy, was a teacher in the Seaford school system, retired several yeas ago and is now a very adept quilter. Betty eventually retired from the shirt factory and has enjoyed retirement living for a while now. However, like so many of us, she remembers the “good old days of Laurel and the friends made through the once-thriving business section. We each must be optimistic about the future of our town, however, it is still good to settle back and enjoy reminiscing from time to time. That’s what makes life worthwhile.

Joining up later were son, Paige, his wife and grandson and Paul came later. Adrian, Jayden, Miranda and I (Cora) did some shopping in Queenstown and the Outlets. The reunion was quite enjoyable and family members had to return to Anchorage as Roger and Adrian are educators at schools there. They had a safe trip back.

As I write this item I’d also like to include belated best wishes to Chuck and “Mike” on their 64th wedding anniversary which was celebrated on Sept. 14. Returning from a recent week’s vacation in Myrtle Beach, S.C., Jane and Tim Burlingame told of visiting friends, John and Mary Ann Branham and other old friends, formerly of Seaford, Steve and Beanie Lankford. The family of Marvin Hitchens hosted him to a birthday party (65 years young) at the home of his son, Blaine and his wife, Kacie, on Sept. 19. Many family members, friends and neighbors joined him in the celebration of another great year. The following item is from Mrs. Cora Selby on a recent family reunion: Adrian Selby LeBlanc and daughter, Jayden, visited in Delaware and Pennsylvania. Jayden is a 12th grade honor student at East Anchorage High School. She was crowned Miss Progressive Teen 2010 at the 18th Cotillion Ball, sponsored by the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. Before coming to Delaware, Adrian and Jayden drove to Spellman College in Atlanta, Ga., where Jayden plans to attend college. They stopped in Pennsylvania at Adrian’s in-law’s home before coming to Delaware. Roger, their husband and father, surprised the family when he called from the airport to be

National Depression Screening Day
With soaring gas prices, rising mortgages, and a recession looming, no one can blame you for feeling anxious or overwhelmed. These days it is common and understandable to be angry, worried and even gloomy, especially if you lost your job, your house or are stressed about paying bills. Worry, anger and stress are normal, appropriate and even necessary during life’s difficult moments. But when negative feelings prevent you from doing your daily activities or interacting with friends and loved ones, it might be time to seek help. Attend Mental Health Association in Delaware’s National Depression Screening Day event on Oct. 7 at several locations in Delaware. As part of the program, you will have the opportunity to complete a brief, written questionnaire, learn about the symptoms of depression, and how to help a friend or family member who may be at risk. You will also have the option of talking to a health care professional. Locally, the event will be held at Laurel State Service Center from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; La Red, by appointment; and Georgetown Easter Seals from 1 to 4 p.m. on Oct. 7-8. For more information about National Depression Screening Day or MHA in Delaware, visit www.mhainde.org.

Milk allergy symptoms often vary By Dr. Anthony Policastro
Allergies to milk are more common than most people realize. In addition, the types of symptoms that those allergies can cause are many. Infants with milk allergy can have intestinal symptoms such as vomiting or loose stools. Sometimes the stools can contain blood. Some infants will show symptoms outside the intestine. Early onset of eczema is a good example. An infant who is only taking formula and develops eczema that young frequently has a milk allergy. Some infants who develop asthma symptoms can have a milk allergy. This is especially true for the infants who develop their symptoms after they move from formula to cow’s milk. It is also true if the wheezing is not related to upper respiratory infections. In older children, allergies to milk can show up as behavioral issues. I tend to find about one child every five years whose ADHD symptoms are related to milk intake. A two week trial off milk, cheese and ice cream cures their ADHD. Now we have one more symptom to add to the list. A recent study was done by a children’s GI clinic. The study looked at the patients they were seeing for chronic constipation. They put them all on milk free diets and about one third of them had their constipation disappear. Then they put that group back on milk and the constipation reappeared. When they removed the milk again, the symptoms improved. This is not a real surprise. We have
known for years that milk allergy can cause constipation. We just thought that it was not this common. Thus there is now one more treatment to try for constipation which might allow some children to stop taking the chronic stool softeners that are so common. The problem is that a diet without milk becomes an issue for getting enough calcium and vitamin D. For that reason any child with this diagnosis needs to have nutritional counseling before stopping milk for an extended period. We sometimes take drinking milk for granted. However, since milk comes from cows it should not come as a surprise that some of us develop an allergy to such a foreign substance.

The Laurel varsity football team came into last Friday’s home opener against St. Elizabeth riding high following its win in the season opener. The Bulldogs came out of the contest against the Vikings with a 27-7 loss and will look to get back on the winning track this Friday when they host rival Sussex Tech (1-1). St. Elizabeth got the ball first and put together a nine play, 68-yard scoring drive to start the game. Eric Patton’s 42-yard run moved the ball to the Bulldog 16. Tackles by Laurel’s Brandon Scott and Jaleel Horsey set up fourth and three from the nine, but Craig Napier came up with a five-yard run for a first down before scoring from four yards out. Adam Szczerva booted the extra point to make the score 7-0 with 7:48 left in the opening quarter. Laurel started its first possession with excellent field position, starting at the 44 yard-line following a Viking face mask penalty on the kickoff return. Chris Jones ran for 10 yards, Shawn Miller had an eight-yard run, quarterback Joe McGinnis scampered 21 yards on a keeper, and Jones added an 11-yard run. Laurel moved the ball to the Viking five, but Patton recovered a fumble on third and three to give the ball back to St. Elizabeth. Viking quarterback Frank Samluk completed an 11-yard pass to Patton on third and eight to end the first quarter. Samluk later found Dwight Clark, Jr. for a 32-yard pickup. Play was stopped when McGinnis had to be taken to the hospital for an injury sustained while he was playing defense. It was announced at the end of the game that he suffered a stinger and would be OK to play this week. On fourth and eight from the Bulldog 21, Samluk fell deep in the backfield fol-

lowing a rush by the Laurel defense. The Bulldogs were held to three plays and out, giving the ball back to the Vikings. Samluk completed a 15-yard pass to Andre Patton. The pair connected again for a 36-yard completion on fourth and nine from the Laurel 40. Napier capped the drive with a two-yard touchdown run with no time left in the half. Szczerba extra point made the score 14-0. Laurel had another scoring opportunity on its next possession, which began at the Continued on page 32
The Delmar varsity football team improved to 2-0 with a 35-0 road win over Hodgson last Saturday. Frank Braham had touchdown runs of 91 and 25 yards; DeVaughn Trader, Keandre Whaley, and Devene Spence each ran for a touchdown, and Brady Scott booted five extra points to lead the Wildcats to the win in the rematch of last year’s Division II state championship. Braham scampered 91 yards for a touchdown with 7:20 left in the first scored and added a 25-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. Trader scored from five yards out and Scott added the extra point for a 21-0 Delmar lead with 36 seconds left in the first half. Whaley had a five-yard touchdown run with 9:42 remaining in the third quarter and Spence plunged into the end zone from five yards out with 5:57 left in the quarter as Delmar blanked the Silver Eagles, 35-0. Braham had three carries for 127 yards and a pair of touchdowns, Whaley carried the ball five times for 24 yards and a touchdowns, and Trader added three carries for 22 yards and a touchdown.

Spence had a 55-yard reception, Billy Poole caught two passes for 37 yards, Shaquor Majors caught a 27-yard pass, and Trader added an 18-yard reception.

Sussex Tech football earns first win with victory over Milford By Daniel Richardson In a near reversal of last week’s 27-7 loss to Spring-Ford High School, the Sussex Tech Ravens defeated the Milford Buccaneers 28-7 last Friday. The first quarter was largely uneventful as neither team managed to put any points on the board. Sussex Tech scored first midway through the second quarter when a pass to tight end Orlando Theiss from quarterback Jesse Swanson on third down resulted in a 65-yard touchdown. A successful extra point attempt by kicker James Smith put the Ravens up 7-0. Milford nearly tied the game up, but a 40-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Quinn Abbott to wide receiver Jerrell Allen on fourth and 32 was called back due to offensive pass interference. With 1:33 left in the half, Tech widened their lead with a quick 11-yard touchdown pass from Swanson to fullback Desmond Sivels. Smith’s extra point kick put Sussex Tech up 14-0 at the end of the half. Milford put some points on the board early in the third quarter when running back Chas Holden carried the ball 26 yards for a touchdown on third and two. The extra point put Milford within seven points. Sussex Tech took more than five minutes off the clock on their next possession, and ended with a 12-yard touchdown run from Sivels. Smith’s extra point put Tech up 21-7. Nose guard Dennis Davenport intercepted a pass from Abbott on Milford’s next possession giving Tech good field position on Milford’s 20 yard line. Tech was able to capitalize three plays later when Sivels ran six yards for a touchdown late in the third quarter. Neither team scored in the fourth quarter leaving Tech with a 28-7 victory. Milford stays home next week and host the Smyrna Eagles, while Tech will travel to Laurel to face the Bulldogs, who will be looking to make up for last week’s loss to St. Elizabeth.

23 yard line. Jones had an eight-yard run and David Cornish added a 20-yard run. On fourth and five from the Viking 39, Jones took a pitch and carried tacklers with him for an 11-yard gain. The Bulldogs moved the ball to the 11, but Cornish was stopped short of a first down on fourth and inches. St. Elizabeth started with the ball on its own 12 yard line and almost turned it over when a fumble appeared to recovered by the Bulldogs. Instead the Vikings picked up a first down at the Laurel 41. Eric Patton scored from 15 yards out on the first play of the fourth quarter to put St. Elizabeth ahead 20-0. Laurel stated with the ball on its own 36 and quickly moved into Viking territory thanks to an 18-yard run by Jones. Sophomore backup quarterback Bryce Bristow completed a 41-yard touchdown pass to Dylan Shockley to put the Bulldogs on the board. Adam Black’s PAT made it 20-7 with 10:41 left in the game.
Laurel’s drive took just 1:11 off the clock. Runs by Napier (10 yards) and Eric Patton (eight yards) set up second and two from the 48. Laurel’s Arnold Mann and Bake Elliott dropped Napier for a oneyard loss, but Eric Patton picked up three yards and a first down on the next play. Samluk completed a 14-yard pass to Eric Patton to move the ball to the Laurel 34 with a little over six minutes left in the game. The Bulldogs’ Tyler Robertson later recovered a Viking fumble on the 19 yard-line with 5:15 left to give the ball back to the offense. Laurel was held to three plays and out and the Vikings’ offense started its final scoring drive with the ball on the Bulldog 29. Napier had a two-yard touchdown run and Szczerba added the extra point to make the score 27-7 with 2:15 left in the game. Jones led the Bulldogs with 12 carries for 90 yards. Laurel ran for 138 yards on 30 carries while Bristow completed one pass for the touchdown strike to Shockley.

the Midwest, where pump prices shot up 15 to 34 cents this week.
After several weeks of stability, gas prices saw slight increases last week, due largely in part to the Enbridge pipeline shutdown in the Midwest. The national average price for regular grade gasoline crept up 5 cents last week to $2.74 on Friday, 19 cents higher than year-ago prices, yet still $1.37 less than the record high prices set two summers ago. Crude Oil Prices Crude oil surged to just over $78 a barrel a week ago Monday following the previous week’s closure of the Enbridge pipeline, which runs from Superior, Wisconsin to Griffith, Indiana and normally processes 670,000 barrels per day. The rupture halted nearly a third of Canada’s crude oil exports to states in
A look ahead “Gas price stability was a staple this summer with the lowest prices of the summer season coming over the Labor Day weekend, however, we always caution motorists about the unpredictability of natural interruptions and the potential impact such interruptions could have on prices at the pump,” said Jana L. Tidwell, AAA Mid-Atlantic spokesperson. Local pricing On Tueday gas stations from Delmar to Greenwood were selling regular gasoline in a range from $2.489 to $2.639 a gallon. The low is a penny a gallon less than a week ago and the high is two cents a gallon less.

MORNING STAR • SEPTEMBER 23 - 29, 2010
Laurel businessman threatens legal action against town By Tony E. Windsor Laurel officials unexpectedly found themselves being bombarded with accusations and threats of legal action regarding what one former businessman alleges is the town being “selective” in its enforcement of codes. There were also additional citizen criticisms expressing opinions that the town is doing little to improve the aesthetic conditions in the community. Following regular council discussions as part of the Monday, Sept. 20, Laurel Mayor and Council meeting, Mayor John Shwed then asked if there were any comments from the public, a traditional part of the council meetings. Former Market Street businessman David Sully asked to address the council. Sully immediately accused the town of selectively choosing how it will enforce town codes. He also said that he would be securing attorneys in Wilmington and contacting the U.S. Department of Justice to seek actions against the town for it unfair enforcement practices.
Sully said he recently was diagnosed with cancer and was unable to work and subsequently unable to pay for his town business license. “I understand that I owe for my business license, but I know of 24 to 30 other businesses in town that are not being enforced for business licenses. The town is being selective in its enforcement of codes and licenses,” he said. He went on to say that he has done research and found inconsistencies in how the town provides code and license enforcement. He said he is aware of a property owner who received a permit to put a shed on his property. He said the property owner built on to the shed and is now using it to live in. “Nothing is being done about this and it has been reported to the town,” he said. Sully also said there is a property owner who has a garage that he wanted to use as a rooming house for his hired help. According to Sully, the issue was taken before the Laurel Planning and Zoning Commission five years ago and his request was turned down. However, Sully claims
The Laurel Public Library has been the recipient of two recent donations by area residents which will be of interest to local history enthusiasts. The families of Nancy Smith of Portsville and the late Norman Dechene, formerly of Laurel, have generously donated copies of their family archives for the Delaware Reference Collection. Mother’s Story, written by her daughter, Starrie Smith Thomas and just recently published, chronicles the life of well known area seamstress, Nancy Smith, from the time of her arrival in the United States as a small child, until the present. Mrs. Smith’s story is representative of many immigrant families who relocated to New York City during the period of great migration from Europe to the United States at the turn of the 20th century. Even more compelling is the story of her adjustment to life in rural Sussex County at the time of her World War II era marriage. It is a story of family, love and triumph that mirrors that of the American spirit. The library has one copy for circulation and one located in the Delaware Collection for in-house use. The second donation was written in the 1960s and has been a treasured family heirloom ever since. The History of Laurel was compiled and written by Norman Dechene, LHS class of 1965, as part of a school assignment at the time when he was a student at Laurel Junior High School. During the process he interviewed local history buffs, and researched major historical reference materials of the day. While not a primary resource, the homemade project of a 14-year-old boy serves as an effective introduction for the Laurel enthusiast. The Dechene family has generously scanned the entire book onto a disc which can be viewed at the library. The original
work will be permanently housed in the library’s rare book case. For more information about these two items, contact Norma Jean Fowler at the Laurel Public Library.

that the man still moved forward and is currently using the garage as a dormitory. “Nothing has been done about this for three and a half years,” he said. Sully said he also lived in the building where he ran his business on Market Street. He said he operated the business for nine years. “When I first opened the business there was a hot dog vendor who would set up is cart on Market Street in front of my business. He was there for seven months. Yet, I got nine parking tickets and the police threatened me about where I was parking. When I tried to take the police issue to the Laurel Mayor and Council my landlord told me that if I did that my building would most likely be condemned and I would be evicted by the next morning,” he said. Sully said his business is closed but because he still lives there he keeps some of his personal items in the storefront window to “keep it looking presentable.” He said he was recently sitting in the doorway of his building and police told him he had to close the door because the business was closed and he had no license to operate. “I live there,” he said. “I was not selling anything. I challenge anybody to find a sales receipt for any purchases in that building. I was threatened by police with 10 to 20 days in jail for each day I left the door open.” At this point Sully advised the council that he was contacting the U.S. Department of Justice and filing a formal complaint about his treatment by the town
code enforcement and police. Laurel Mayor John Shwed asked Police Chief Jamie Wilson who was present during the council meeting if he was aware of the issue Sully was referring to. Wilson said he would understand why officers may stop at the storefront. “Mr. Sully’s property looks like a business, so if they see the door open and any activity it would not be unusual for officers to simply stop and investigate,” he said. Councilman Chris Calio asked that in making his accusations Sully be more specific to allow the town to investigate his concerns. “You say there are 24 to 30 businesses operating without a license. Who are these businesses,” he asked? Sully told Calio, “It is not my job to make a list.” Calio said while that may be true, Sully was making accusations and it was impossible for the town to answer him without knowing the details. Sully told Calio he would see that his attorney got the information to the town. Councilwoman Robin Fisher recommended that Sully take all of his concerns in a detailed list to the Mayor and Council and Code Enforcement Officer Paul Frick and the town can investigate the concerns and provide a report to answer his questions. Sully did not indicate that he would be backing down from his threat of legal action before the discussions ended the council meeting.

Police Journal Attempted abduction in Laurel
On Wednesday, Sept. 15, Delaware State Police investigated an attempted abduction in the 13000 block of Wootten Road, Laurel. The incident occurred on Tuesday morning, Sept. 14, at 7:45 a.m. The 8-year-old child who attends North Laurel Elementary School made the school aware of the incident. The incident was originally handled by the Laurel Police Department, however, it was discovered that it did not occur in their jurisdiction. On Wednesday, Sept. 15, Delaware State Police was contacted regarding the attempted abduction. Delaware State Police learned that the 8-year-old victim was waiting for his school bus while in his driveway on Tuesday, Sept. 14. The victim then observed a newer, light red four door car with dark interior pull into his driveway. The suspect, a white male described as 18 to 32-years-old, 5’5” to 6’, 140-180 lbs., short black hair, clean shaven, thin build and armed with a black handgun, attempted to lure the child into the car. The suspect offered to give the 8-year-old a ride to school and the child repeatedly refused the suspect’s demands to enter the car. The suspect then exited his car and a black handgun fell on the ground outside the driver’s door. The suspect is believed to have been alone in his car. The 8-yearold then ran inside his residence and notified his mother and the suspect fled the area in an unknown direction. Delaware State Police is seeking the public’s help in identifying the suspect in this case. Anyone with information is asked to call investigators at 856-5850, ext. 218 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP3333.
Police investigate Seaford robbery
On Friday, Sept. 17, Delaware State Police investigated a robbery on the 10,000 block of Main Street in the Indian Village development of Seaford. The robbery occurred around 2:51 a.m. as a 20-year-old male was in his front yard. The victim was approached by three black males, one of which displayed a sawed off shotgun. The suspects demanded money and then forced the victim into his residence to obtain additional amounts
of money. After obtaining money and the victim’s Droid cellular phone, the suspects fled from the scene on foot. The victim was not harmed. The suspects are described as: suspect 1 - a black male, age 20 to 25, 5’10” 190 lbs., dark complexion, short black hair, full beard, black and red hooded sweatshirt, black pants, (sawed off shotgun); suspect 2 - a black male, age 20-25, 6’, 180-200 lbs., dark complexion, short black wavy/ curly hair, clean shaven, black short sleeve t-shirt, black pants; and suspect 3 - a third black male, age 20-25, dark complexion. State Police seeks the public’s assistance in locating these suspects and ask the public to contact Delaware State Police with tips. Callers may remain anonymous. Tips may also be forwarded to law enforcement through tip lines maintained by Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP3333 or online at www.tipsubmit.com.
Girl dies in ATV accident
On Wednesday, Sept. 15, Delaware State Police responded to an accident involving an All-Terrain-Vehicle (ATV) on Westville Road, east of Marydel. A 2003 Honda Recon was being driven on private property by Cassandra R. Jones, 11, of Marydel, around 4:12 p.m. Jones was southbound on the ATV through a grass yard when its front tires struck a raised portion of an asphalt driveway. After the tires struck the driveway, the ATV became airborne. As a result of the ATV’s rear tires still being in motion, when the ATV’s rear tires came down and struck the asphalt, it caused the ATV to accelerate and flip backward onto Jones pinning her between the ATV and the asphalt driveway. Jones, who was riding the ATV on her grandfather’s property, was found by her grandfather who notified emergency services. She was taken to Kent General Hospital, Dover, suffering from severe head trauma. At 5:06 p.m., Jones died from injuries sustained when her head struck the asphalt driveway. Jones, a 6th grade student at Fifer Middle School, Camden, was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.

Delmar, for his fifth offense of driving under the influence of alcohol. Mumford was observed traveling southbound on US 13 north of Delmar at 2:15 a.m. in an erratic manner. The Delaware State trooper advised Mumford was also traveling well below the posted speed limit. As a result of Mumford’s unusual driving pattern, the trooper conducted a traffic stop on Mumford’s Jeep Grand Cherokee. The trooper detected an odor of alcohol emitting from Mumford’s breath. After being given a Standardized Field Sobriety test, Mumford was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. The trooper’s subsequent search into Mumford’s driving record revealed he was arrested on four prior occasions since 2000. Mumford was arrested and charged with fifth offense after four prior offenses driving a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, driving while suspended or revoked, failure to have insurance identification, failure to have registration card in
possession and improper lane change. He was incarcerated on $16,500 secured bond to the Sussex Correctional Institute.

Oktoberfest features delicious Bavarian foods, beer The world’s largest fair began last week and ends the beginning of next month. Hard to figure why they call it Oktoberfest but the six million people who attend each year don’t seem to give it much thought. It’s a very special celebration this year - the 200th anniversary of the first Oktoberfest in 1810 that commemorated the marriage of Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese. Held on a huge field in the center of Munich, the party takes place in numerous beer tents, each featuring different food and varied party atmospheres - some geared to families and others to the more serious beer fanciers. Sausages, chicken, pork, kraut, noodles, pretzels and dumplings are washed down with “liquid gold” - Bavarian beer, which according to a decree in 1516, can be made only with water, hops and barley. If you’re not attending an Oktoberfest celebration it doesn’t mean you can’t relish a delicious Bavarian meal. The Beerbistro Cookbook is Stephen Beaumont’s latest book on beer and the food that goes so well with it from appetizers to desserts. Try one of his suggestions below featured on Epicurious - they’re great even without the beer.

Roast Pork Chops with Bacon and Wilted Greens Makes 2 servings 2 1 1/2-inch-thick rib pork chops 3 tablespoons chopped fresh marjoram, divided 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 thick-cut bacon slices, chopped 2 garlic cloves, pressed 8 cups (packed) wide strips assorted greens such as mustard greens and red Swiss chard, stems discarded
The Practical Gourmet 5 teaspoons Sherry wine vinegar, divided 1/2 cup low-salt chicken broth 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard Preheat oven to 475°F. Sprinkle both sides of pork with 2 tablespoons marjoram, allspice, and generous amount of salt and pepper. Heat oil in heavy large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add pork and brown well, including edges, turning with tongs, about 7 minutes. Transfer pork to small rimmed baking sheet; reserve skillet. Roast pork in oven until thermometer inserted into center of chops from side registers 145°F, about 9 minutes. Meanwhile, add bacon to oil in reserved skillet. Sauté over medium heat until brown, about 3 minutes. Mix in garlic. Add greens. Cook until just wilted, turning with tongs, about 3 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Using tongs, transfer greens to colander to drain, leaving some bacon pieces in skillet for sauce. Add broth, mustard, and 4 teaspoons vinegar to skillet. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes. Mix in 1 tablespoon marjoram. Season with salt and pepper. Mound greens on plates; top with pork. Spoon sauce alongside and serve. Bratwurst with Creamy Apple Compote Makes 4 servings Split and browned bratwurst provides
contrast in a pairing of apples and cream. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 medium onion, sliced 2 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and each cut into 8 wedges 1 Turkish bay leaf or 1/2 California 8 precooked bratwurst or Weisswurst 1 cup dry white wine 2/3 cup heavy cream 1 tablespoon cider vinegar 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar Preheat broiler. Heat butter and oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until foam subsides, then cook onion and apples with bay leaf, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, stirring once or twice, until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Meanwhile, split bratwurst lengthwise (not all the way through) and open up. Lightly brush cut sides of bratwurst with additional oil and transfer to a shallow baking pan (split sides up). Add wine to apple mixture, then simmer, covered, until apples are tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove lid and briskly simmer until liquid is reduced by one third, about 2 minutes. While apples simmer, broil bratwurst 4 to 5 inches from heat until browned, about 6 minutes. Stir cream, vinegar, and brown sugar into apple mixture and briskly simmer until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Discard bay leaf and serve apple compote over bratwurst. Pretzel Rolls Makes 8 These really do taste like pretzels, but they’re shaped like regular dinner rolls. Quick-rising yeast makes them a cinch to prepare, and boiling them before baking is the secret to their superb texture. 2 3/4 cups bread flour 1 envelope quick-rising yeast 1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon celery seeds 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (about) hot water (125°F to 130°F) Cornmeal 8 cups water 1/4 cup baking soda 2 tablespoons sugar 1 egg white, beaten to blend (glaze) Coarse salt Combine bread flour, 1 envelope yeast, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sugar and celery seeds in food processor and blend. With machine running, gradually pour hot water through feed tube, adding enough water to form smooth elastic dough. Process 1 minute to knead. Grease medium bowl. Add dough to bowl, turning to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, then towel; let dough rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 35 minutes. Flour baking sheet. Punch dough down and knead on lightly floured surface until smooth. Divide into 8 pieces. Form each dough piece into ball. Place dough balls on prepared sheet, flattening each slightly. Using serrated knife, cut an X in top center of each dough ball. Cover with towel and let dough balls rise until almost doubled in volume, about 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease another baking sheet and sprinkle with cornmeal. Bring 8 cups water to boil in large saucepan. Add baking soda and 2 tablespoons sugar (water will foam up). Add 4 rolls and cook 30 seconds per side. Using slotted spoon, transfer rolls to prepared sheet, arranging X side up. Repeat with remaining rolls. Brush rolls with egg white glaze. Sprinkle rolls generously with coarse salt. Bake rolls until brown, about 25 minutes. Transfer to racks and cool 10 minutes. Serve rolls warm or room temperature. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm in 375°F oven 10 minutes.)
A troop of kangaroos. And one of my favorites, a leap of leopards. What a great mental picture that paints. A pride of lions. A richness of martens. A labor of moles. A barrel of monkeys and a romp of otters. A group of pigs, specifically boars, is called a singular. I would love to hear some time-worn farmer talking about the singular of boars that he has in his back field. Of course, he would be wearing overalls and a red plaid hat. A prickle of porcupines. A scurry of squirrels. A streak of tigers. As for our fine feathered friends, a group of buzzards is called a wake — I think we all know why. Bobolinks, when gathered together, form a chain — very clever, that. A group of crows is a murder. Of turtle doves, a pitying. Of eagles, a convocation. Hawks, when they are in large numbers, are called a kettle. Two spiraling across the sky are a boil. Anyone who has a backyard bird feeder knows why a group of jays is a party, or a scold, and a group of finches is a charm. A group of larks is an exaltation, of nightingales a watch, and of wise old owls a parliament. A building of rooks, an unkindness of
ravens, a host of sparrows, a murmuration of starlings, a mustering of storks and a gang of turkeys. In the fish world, a collection of sharks is a shiver and a group of trout is a hover. A group of invertebrates can be an intrusion of cockroaches, a cloud of gnats or a smack of jellyfish. For anyone who is wondering why they haven’t yet read what a group of giraffes is called, it is because their collective name is among my top-five favorites, which I am saving for last. Several of the long, lean animals gathered together is called a tower of giraffes. In a grand finale, the rest of my top five: A cackle of hyenas. A crash of rhinoceroses. A bloat of hippopotamuses. And a bask of crocodiles. All of this makes me wonder what the four-legged, feathered or finned among us would call a group of people, specifically a group of writers. A lettering, perhaps, or a grammatical, or a journal. More likely, they’d call us silly for wasting so much time on something that neither gets us food or protects us from predators. Like the fly and the ferret, they’d say, we should drop our pens, keyboards and ruminations and retrain our focus, on the business of life.
The business of flies, the pride of lions and a band of gorillas In our kitchen this summer, we have had a business of flies.

Family and friends are making it their mission to keep Gerry ‘Gump’ Brown’s spirit alive
Light The Night Walk fund raiser We’ve made a commitment to support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Light The Night Walk. Light The Night is LLS’s annual walk and fund raising event — and the nation’s night to pay tribute and bring hope to people battling cancer. Teams of friends and families of co-workers raise funds for cancer research and provide services in their communities. As you may now, our son, Gerry “Gump” Brown, lost his battle to A.L.L. (a form of leukemia) on April 3, 2007, at the age of 40. Our family and friends are making it their mission to keep his spirit alive! Gerry’s main concern, when he was originally diagnosed in October 2002, was to help others. He was grateful to be given a second chance because a lot of people donated and gave their time for funding and research. “Team Gump” is doing all we can to keep his spirit alive through this campaign. Gerry touched many lives and is greatly missed. Wayne and I will walk again at Light The Night on Saturday evening, Oct. 16, at the Rehoboth Beach boardwalk. The LLS funds lifesaving cancer research that has contributed to major advances in the treatment of blood cancers. Many types of cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and stem cell transplants, that have prolonged and enhanced the lives of patients. New targeted therapies that kill cancer cells, without harming normal tissue, have already begun to provide drugs and procedures that are improving quantity and quality of life. Bt more research is critically needed. We are again asking for your financial support. Please send your check, made payable to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, to us at the below address. We have some very good news to share with you. Response time is critical and Gerry had a vision to provide better fire service to the residents east of U.S. 13. The Laurel Fire Department has stationed two trucks in Gerry’s farm shed for several years and dedicated volunteers continue to answer calls. We think that Gerry’s ultimate dream is going to come

Who are we to judge others?
I have a couple of questions and remarks about the letter written by Norman Hastings concerning William Hitch of Laurel. Yes, Mr. Hitch made some bad mistakes and I think that he should have to pay more than $50 a month. But, who are we to judge? He stood trial and received his sentence. I can’t understand why Mr. Hastings is making this a personal vendetta against Mr. Hitch. Has Mr. Hastings ever heard of the word, “forgiveness?” I think that everyone of us has sinned in our lifetime, but I know that God has forgiven us. So, Mr. Hastings, as many churches that you have attended in the Laurel area, you must have some forgiveness in your heart. I have always believed in the old saying, “Never kick a man when he’s down.” I think you would be wise to forget about this petition and put everything in the hands of God. Jim Allen

Can we afford a significant tax increase in today’s economy?
On October 4, 2010 the residents of Laurel School District will once again be called upon to vote on a referendum to replace all schools and athletic facilities in the district. Prior to the last attempt to pass this tax increase there were weekly articles by the school superintendent extolling the virtues of the project, letters of support from high profile citizens in concurrence, and signs in many yards throughout the area. And this time – little or nothing! The change in tactics is interesting, from high profile defeat with a relatively good voter turnout to high hopes of success with a quiet campaign to avoid vocal opposition. Regardless of the means by which this referendum is presented, the core question remains: “can we afford a significant tax increase in today’s tenuous economy?” Granted, the local share for the new proposition is $6.6 million lower than the earlier one, but the tax increase, which tops out at $2.19 per $100 of assessed value, is still an increase of 88% from current rates. We face tough times with cuts in service and personnel at all levels of government (federal, state, county, and local). If these cutbacks do not balance the budgets, then the next logical step will be to increase revenues (fees and taxes) to meet our needs. If and when these increases occur, how will they impact the Laurel district taxpayer if we have already approved a large school tax increase? Last week’s edition of the Laurel Star listed 15 properties posted for sheriff/tax sales. How many more will there be? A recent article in the Laurel Star addressed the problems the town faces with properties abandoned by owners unable to pay mortgages and taxes. Anyone driving outside the town limits where most new residential construction has taken place in the last 10 to 15 years will quickly realize the same problem exists on a much greater scale throughout the district. Last week on a drive west on 24 from the town limits to the Maryland line there were nine homes for sale and several others that have been unoccupied for long periods. What will the number be when those who now just barely make their monthly payments must shoulder the tax increase? Who will buy these homes when they realize that they will be in the school district which has the highest tax rate as well
as the highest capitation tax in the county? What is the attraction to live in the district – certainly not high paying jobs or shopping opportunities (how many families did their back to school shopping in town, or did they go to Seaford or Salisbury)? With these tax rates, how many employers will want to locate here and provide jobs and shopping? The projected tax tables published in the Star delineate a decrease in taxes beginning in 2017 as the bonds are repaid. Next week I will pay my property tax for the 25th time, having purchased property in 1986. At some point during that time, the bonds for the current high school were paid off and yet I never saw my tax rate decrease. Why should I believe it will happen this time? Nowhere in the tax tables do I see any allowance for projected increases due to inflation. Are we to assume that for the next 20 years there will be no inflation and that the teachers in our system will not be granted the pay raises that they earn and deserve? Or, when the time comes to begin the decreases, will the board inform us that due to unforeseen circumstances the taxes are still needed to support our system? You ask for my vote in favor of the referendum. In return I ask these questions: • What is the true and best estimate of my future taxes? • What is the Laurel School Board doing to actively conserve finances? • Why does Laurel have the highest rate of tax expenditures in the state to pay for administrative costs (as recently published in the News Journal)? • In Sussex County, Laurel has the highest tax rate of any district with no outstanding bond issues as well as the highest capitation tax. Why does it cost so much more to educate students in Laurel than elsewhere? Until these questions are answered and I believe that the school district is living up to its responsibility to wisely spend and control the funds with which they are entrusted, I can not in good faith support an increase in taxes.

Complaints are wasted unless they reach the right listeners Legislators need to hear from more than just the lobbyists
I spent nine years as a commanding officer of two Air Force hospitals. In that role, I had the opportunity to respond to complaints that were sent to Senators and Representatives by their constituents. I found out something interesting in preparing those responses. Our elected representatives hear from very few of the people who elect them. For that reason, they have to assume that those that they hear from represent a good sampling of the entire group. Unfortunately, it does not always work that way. There are some outspoken individuals who contact their representatives on a regular basis. There are many lobbyists who are hired to say that they represent many voters. However, the average voter does not stay in contact with his/her elected representatives. As I see the current wave of complaints about our representatives in the press, I can understand where the frustration is coming from. The one thing I would like to recommend is that every voter who senses that kind of frustration has an obligation to personally make that known to his/her elected officials. Complaining to friends and co-workers does not get the message to the right people. Attending meetings of complaints does not get the message to the right people. As voters, we each have both the right and the responsibility to make our opinions known directly to our elected representatives. If we have done so and want to complain to others, then that is appropriate. If we have not taken the time to do so, now is the opportunity to make ourselves heard. Our representatives cannot act in a vacuum. It is not fair to expect them to know what their individual constituents think without hearing from those constituents.

Thoughts to Ponder The fall of democracy A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.
