Gethsemane United Methodist Church in Reliance was born in a time of turmoil. Infamous slave trader Patty Cannon, who lived across the street from where the church is now, had committed suicide in prison just a few years earlier and the community was no doubt still roiling from the controversy that she had stirred. “In the aftermath of Patty Cannon, this church was born, when the community was a mess,” said Linda Pevey, a member since 1995 and director of adult discipleship since 2007. “This church has always taken a stand for God in the community and while other

churches have faded away, this one has thrived and survived.” Next weekend, Gethsemane will celebrate 175 years since construction of its first church building. The congregation was founded in 1833 when members started gathering in each other’s homes and the first building was constructed in 1835. The four-day anniversary celebration will include guest speakers and music. On Saturday, Oct. 2, the Rev. Elmer N. Davis Jr., minister at St. Mark’s UMC in Princess Anne, Md., will lead an old-fashioned tent revival that will be followed by a campfire and singalong. Continued to page 36

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.

tion. In addition to Nemours, the award is sponsored by the Delaware Division of Public Health and the Delaware Association of School Administrators. West Seaford Elementary received the award because of its program that gives students fruits and vegetables for snacks. Patty Cunningham, the district’s supervisor of nutrition services, started the program, which tries to introduce students to foods that they are not familiar with. From that program, Dukes said, grew lessons that focused on where the foods

came from. Students in enrichment teacher Renee Clarke’s class kept journals about the foods and then compiled a book, “Fruits and Veggies Rock!!” The book is available on Amazon.com and through the Barnes and Noble website. Sales benefit the school. “You can purchase their book on Amazon,” Dukes said. “How great is that?” Central Elementary was recognized for its Superstar School Garden, in which students grow vegetables for the school cafeteria.

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.

Mission Possible helps area students pursue music By Lynn R. Parks

Caitlin Wasson is an ocean away from her hometown of Seaford. But the good work that she started here is continuing. Wasson, 20 and a graduate of Seaford High School, is founder of Mission Possible, a non-profit organization designed to raise money to help students pursue music. Last week, while Caitlin was studying and attending classes at Oxford University in England, her mother, Chris, was at the Seaford Instrumental Music Academy in the middle school to give band teacher Ashley Martelli a check from Mission Possible for $1,500. Also there was Susan Hickey, board member of Mission Possible. “How many of us get ideas of things we want to do, but never follow through?” Hickey said. “It’s amazing what Caitlin’s done.” Caitlin attends Eastern University, St. Davids, Pa., where she is studying vocal performance. This semester, she is studying abroad at Oxford. She was inspired to start Mission Possible while attending a Methodist youth rally in Ocean City, Md. A French horn player and drum major for the SHS band, she was already upset by the number of friends she had who could not afford to continue to study music. When she heard the Bible verse Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me,” she decided to do something to help. “She really felt a mission,” Chris said.

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.

September 25 is declared ‘Family Day’ by Seaford’s mayor

By proclamation of Mayor Ed Butler, Friday, Sept. 25, will be Family Day in Seaford. The mayor is urging all parents to take time out that day to eat dinner with their children. According to the proclamation that Butler presented at a recent city council meeting, when families eat together, children are less likely to get into trouble. “The correlation between frequent family dinners and reduced risk for teen substance abuse is well-documented,” the proclamation reads. In “The Surprising Power of Family Meals,” written in 2005, author Miriam Weinstein argues that sharing a meal is one way to strengthen and enrich family bonds. “Family supper is important because it gives children reliable access to their parents,” she writes. “It provides anchoring for everyone’s day. It emphasizes the importance of the family non-verbally. It reminds the child that the family is there, and that she is part of it.”

Blades Town Council members heard bids for more paving work to be completed on East and West 8th Street and East 4th Street during the council’s September meeting. Bids from several contractors were heard and discussed with Delmarva Paving coming in with the lowest bid at $31,478. Council members voted to approve the bid. The council had already approved another paving project during their August meeting. Town officials have met with the paving contractor about the paving process and when the project(s) will begin. The initial project should begin on or around Sept. 27 and is predicted to take approximately 30 days to complete. Mayor Michael Smith and Planning and Zoning Commissioner B.J. Hardin introduced the town’s new Code Enforcement Officer Marcus Trammell. Trammell is a Seaford native and was offered the position after former Code Enforcement Of-

St. John’s lot to be repaved By Lynn R. Parks

The city of Seaford will use nearly $65,000 in funding from state legislators to repave and paint stripes on the parking lot at St. John’s United Methodist Church. The lot is owned by the church but under an agreement that dates back to the early 1970s, the city has rights to it as a public parking area. Last Tuesday night, the Seaford City Council accepted a bid from Jerry’s Inc., Milford, to do the work. Jerry’s bid of nearly $47,000 was the lowest of four bids that the city received. The highest, from Conventional Builders, was for $66,000. City manager Dolores Slatcher told council members that if the entire $64,800 that the city has received for the project is not used, the balance of the money will go into the coffers of the Delaware Department of Transportation. The legislators who had arranged the funding as part of their discretionary funds would not get the money back to redistribute. Council members unanimously agreed to her recommendation that the additional $17,000 be used to further improve the St. John’s parking lot. Jerry’s Inc. will also do that work.

ficer Metsinger passed away. Mayor Smith said of Trammell, “Marcus is a welcome addition to our town’s staff.” Mayor Smith reported that Sussex County officials will be updating county emergency procedures after federal monies have become available to complete the updates. The county’s emergency procedures were last reviewed and updated eight years ago. Residents once again brought concerns about a property on West 2nd Street as well as flooding issues throughout the town. Residents were reassured that the town is looking into every issue discussed and that they are welcome to bring their concerns before the council at any time. Council members voted to donate $200 to the Blades Fire Company to support the upcoming car show. Council members voted not to support a request by representatives from Homeless Cat Helpers to hold a spay/neuter clinic for feral cats at Hardin Hall. Concerns surrounding the use of Hardin Hall centered around the possible damage to the building’s wooden floor.

Acorn Collection Day

With acorns in abundance this time of year, volunteers are needed for DNREC’s 6th Annual Acorn Collection Day being held from 9 a.m. until noon, Saturday, Oct. 16. Volunteers will collect acorns from places where seedlings would not generally be able to grow – along trail edges, open spaces and roadsides – at two Delaware State Parks and the Smyrna Rest Area. Acorn Collection Day is the perfect opportunity for families and youth groups to volunteer, gain community service hours and help Delaware’s environment. Since the volunteer event was initiated in 2005, nearly 2,300 pounds of acorns have been collected. The acorns will be scattered in reforestation areas to grow on their own. The oak trees will expand wooded areas and forested corridors that provide valuable habitat – shelter and food – for many native wildlife species. The collection site in Sussex County is Holts Landing State Park in Millville. There will be bags and collection materials for volunteers. Pre-registration is encouraged by contacting Lynne Staub at 302-735-3600 or by email, Lynne. Staub@state.de.us.

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.

Seaford varsity boys’ soccer opens season against tough opponents By Lynn Schofer

The Seaford High varsity boys’ soccer team opened the 2010 season with a difficult schedule matching up against three top contenders including Caravel, the 2009 state champions, on Saturday. Seaford, which is in a rebuilding year, showed it can play and keep up with the top teams. Caravel scored one goal to notch the 1-0 win, but more importantly Seaford held Caravel to only 11 shots on

goal. “It was a well played game, physical but clean,” said Seaford head coach Tim Lee. Caravel double-teamed Seaford’s striker Ethan Lee, but that didn’t stop Lee from getting some strong shots on goal. Dustin Venables helped the offense with quick touches and passes in mid field. Coach Lee also was pleased with the freshman season defensive men Danny Wheatley, Alfred Cetoute, and Julio Continued on page 27

Seaford varsity field hockey team improves to 2-0 with win in OT By Mike McClure

The Seaford varsity field hockey team topped Dover, 1-0, in overtime on Tuesday to move to 1-0 in the Henlopen Conference and 2-0 overall. Maria DeMott netted the game-winner on a penalty stroke with 8:27 left in overtime. “It feels great. I wish we could have done it in the regular time,” said Seaford head coach Alison Venables. Venables said she was pleased with her team’s play in the first half and in overtime, but felt that her team was outplayed in the second half. The Blue Jays held a 5-4 edge in shots in the scoreless first half while the Senators had a 4-0 advantage in corners. Seaford went the entire game without getting a corner, something Venables said has

never happened for one of her teams in her years of coaching. The Senators had six more corners in the second half, but neither team could net a goal. Seaford’s Bailey Hoch and Tobin each had shots go wide of the cage. Seaford came out with aggressive play in the seven-on-seven overtime period and that play paid off when DeMott drew the penalty stroke. Tobin took the shot and lifted the ball past the Senator goalie for the win. “It says a lot that they have the endurance and they played a smart game in overtime,” Venables said of her team’s overtime win. Seaford 2, St. Elizabeth 1- The Blue Jays opened the regular season with a 2-1 non-conference win over St. Elizabeth. Continued on page 27

Seaford soccer continued Ramirez. “They have really stepped up and took control of that back defensive line,” Lee said. Lee pointed out that Seaford stunted the offensive line of Caravel and held the top scorer in the state to only two shots on goal. Coach Lee is rebuilding the team with both physical and mental strength. “I want them to work hard on believing in themselves,” said Lee. “No one accepts the excuse that we lost 13 players. I expect them to roll their sleeves up, go to work, and get the job done.” At the 27th minute of play Caravel scored the only goal of the game when a perfectly placed kick to the left wing was finished by Caravel for the goal. Seaford had two exceptional chances at 60th minute when Ethan Lee passed the ball to Andre Rosario whose shot hit the side bar of the goal and bounced away. Less than a minute later, Rosario got his

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.

Gas Lines

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.

House Tour includes homes in Laurel, Bridgeville The St. John’s UMC House Tour will be held on Thursday, Oct. 7, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tickets are $10. The House Tour Committee will serve a chicken salad luncheon that day for $7. For more information call Teresa Wilson, 629-6417. Sandy and Caleb Willin Mt. Pleasant Rd. Laurel

While the yard of this newly built home is a work in progress, the interior is a finished decorating dream. Sandy’s vision was brought to life by Mike’s design and much of their own labor. The result: large paneless windows, bamboo floors, high ceilings, crisp white walls and moldings, and an open floor plan that provide a sleek backdrop for unique and stylish “bargain finds.” The couple believes you don’t have to spend a lot of money to decorate a home as evidenced in dramatic but inexpensive artwork, a black kitchen sink that was once a school lab sink, a chandelier they created using old spoons, and a refinished footed tub. Window treatments and bedspreads

Decor found in the Willin Home

by local seamstress Zi Wang, bright wool rugs, furry throws, and a mix of furnishing styles all blend to create this one of a kind home overflowing with clever decorating ideas. Rosie and Steve Rose Meadow Drive Bridgeville

Prepare to be impressed by the talents of the owners of this home. In Steve’s position as president and CEO of Nanticoke Memorial Hospital, the couple looked for and found a home suited for entertaining

with ease. Steve finished the lower level, complete with ceramic tile floors and a large wooden bar, while Rosie added many artful touches to the entire house. Her beautiful photography adorns several walls. A dramatic photo taken by Rosie at the home of Monet has been enlarged to hang over the living room sofa. The master bathroom, recently redone, now has a large tiled shower, dressing

table, and two deep red vessel sinks. Both downstairs and upstairs hall bathrooms display Rosie’s “craftiness” – unique decoupage plaques and a wall hanging with ferns in one; in the other, torn pieces of overlapping paper create a stunning faux stone wallpaper. All of this plus window treatments and silk flower arrangements made by the owner.

Swensson presents ‘Celebrating Gethsemane Church celebrating Gershwin’ at the Manor House Continued from page one

by Anne Nesbitt On Monday, Oct. 4, at 7 p.m. in the Methodist Manor House, Evelyn Swensson, talented singer, composer, pianist and conductor, will present a program entitled “Celebrating Gershwin Swensson with Kay Swift.” Swensson lived here in Seaford from 1952 to 1965. She was active in the community especially in musical circles. She was Director of Music at St. Luke’s Church for two years and after that at Mt. Olivet Church. She will be fondly remembered for the outstanding production of “Sound of Music” in which she used all local talent. The October 4 program is planned around George Gershwin music and the little known fact that Kay Swift was a very

important part of Gerswin’s compositions. She lived with Gershwin for many years and worked on his accomplishments. She wrote “Porgy and Bess” while he played it. After his death, she spent 10 years editing his music. The program will offer many renditions of Gershwin music. The pianist, Carroll Humphrey, will play among other numbers, “Rhapsody in Blue.” Swensson will sing many Gershwin numbers as she tells the story. Swensson has been honored by being named as one of “Delaware’s Famous Women.” She is presently directing the Brandywine Pops Orchestra. This program is sponsored by the Seaford Historical Society and the Methodist Manor House and comes through the Delaware Humanities Forum. It is open to the public. There is no charge. For more information, call the Seafod Historical Society office at 628-9828.

Fall Ag Festival at Ross Mansion Continued from page one

Delaware Ag Secretary Ed Kee and other ag officials. The program includes Charlie Paparella of WBOC, Tony Windsor, a 4-H and FFA quiz program, the Whirl Away Square Dancers, Buddy Millman, a local talent showcase and music by the Out of the Blue band. An Old Country Church Service will be held at 10 a.m. Sunday, featuring the Gospel Gents, and followed by Craig Banks and the Good News Band. Tony Windsor and Buddy Millman will return and Ag Pageant Queens will be introduced. After a Tribute to Country Music, Then and Now, the Bo Dickerson Band will entertain. The Nanticoke Indians will do a presentation on what they ate during the time of the Ross Mansion. Children will find lots to do, from Victorian games sponsored by the Seaford Historical Society to the Farm Service Agency’s Farm Olympics (as presented at

the Delaware State Fair) and a scavenger hunt which will require, according to Ron Breeding, “a little science, some history and a whole lotta ag.” Breeding and his wife, Sue, are co-chairs of the community planning committee. The mansion grounds will be scattered with demonstrations of such skills as spinning, broom making, blacksmithing, quilting, soap making, chair canning and shingle making. Artisans are invited to display their wares and food vendors, especially those offering old-fashioned treats, are encouraged to participate. The First State Tractor Club has been invited to display and there may even be a steam engine or two available for viewing, along with displays of other antiques and a tent of exhibits by commodity groups representing today’s agricultural products grown in the region. Vendors may call Breeding for details on reserving a space for the two-day event at (302) 629-3964.

“This will be a time when I really expect the unexpected to happen in great ways,” said Gethsemane minister the Rev. Elizabeth Mallozzi. “I expect people to be reconnected in the spirit, for people who have gotten discouraged to see hope and promise. And for people to be excited about where the church is going and their part in it.” Mallozzi, who came to Gethsemane in July 2009, said that this is her fourth church in nearly 18 years of ministry. “In that time, I haven’t seen a church with as much heart for bringing people to church,” she said. “Gethsemane has a real heart for evangelism. It has a remarkably different atmosphere from many other churches.” Services feature altar calls, during which people go to the altar to profess their faith, typically twice a month, she said. In many churches, that happens just once or twice a year, she added. In addition, Gethsemane is very welcoming, Mallozzi said. Pevey agrees. “We want to be a church in which people who are not used to going to church feel comfortable,” she said. “A place where you don’t have to know the Apostle’s Creed or the hymns to enjoy the service, or you don’t have to dress a certain way.” All this, she added, in order to attract people who don’t go to church. “We have a strong focus on bringing unchurched people in,” she said. Ginny Short, a resident of Seaford, has gone to Gethsemane her whole life. She said that part of what sets the church apart is its adult Bible study groups that meet throughout the week. The church sponsors 15 such groups, each with from 10 to more than 20 participants, and they contribute to a strong sense of fellowship among the parishioners, Short said. “I could call on any one of the people in my group for anything,” she said. “We have a close feeling for each other.” Pevey said that the small groups enable people in a large church — membership at Gethsemane is 289, average Sunday attendance over the past several years has been 200 — to experience the feel of a small church. “People can get lost in the shuffle,” she said. “The groups enable people to have the sense of a church family, even as the church grows.” “The groups make a huge difference in the depth of people’s Christian walk,” added Mallozzi. “There, people are challenged to be Christian in every aspect of their lives.” Also setting the church apart is the fact that it donates to missions work above what is required by the Peninsula-Delaware Conference of the United Methodist Church, its governing body. The conference requires about $20,000 per year to go toward missions; Gethsemane donates an additional 10 percent of its general fund income, up to $40,000, to support local, national and international missions work. “This comes from the direction in the Bible that you tithe 10 percent of your income,” Pevey said. “We are dedicated to that directive to give to God and the community.” Pevey sees Gethsemane, with its willingness to “stand for God,” continuing and thriving for many years to come. Mallozzi agrees.

“This church is poised and ready for next weekend’s revival, and that is only a small part of what is going to happen in years to come,” Mallozzi said. “It is exciting to see God prepare Gethsemane to burst open and to reach out to the community in a new way.” Short, who is equally excited about the church’s future, sees its promise in stories from the past. “We have had seven men and three women attend church here and then go into the ministry,” she said. “So we must be doing something right when a little community church puts out that many to follow the ministry.”

For your information: The 175th Anniversary Harvest Revival will be held at Gethsemane United Methodist Church in Reliance Thursday, Sept. 30, through Sunday, Oct. 2. On Thursday and Friday, dinner will be served in the fellowship hall at 6 p.m., followed by a revival service at 7 p.m. Guest speaker on Thursday will be the Rev. John Mitchell and music will be provided by the Sussex Mass Choir. The offering will benefit Love Inc., an area mission. On Friday, congregants will watch a video message from former Gethsemane member the Rev. Dr. William E. Smith. Guest speaker will be the Rev. Conrad Cohen, formerly of Federalsburg. Music will be provided by Bill and Karen Itzel and their family, Westminster, Md. The offering will benefit the Delmarva Teen Challenge. Saturday activities will get underway at 4:30 with a family fun time featuring hay rides, games and food. Music will be provided by Amanda Jones and Willie Blake Davis. A tent revival will start at 6:30 p.m. with the Rev. Elmer N. Davis Jr. from St. Mark’s UMC, Princess Anne, Md. Music will be provided by Gethsemane’s two singing groups, the Garden Praise Team and Vertikal Xpression. A bonfire and sing-along will follow the service. The offering will benefit the Methodist church’s recovery effort in Haiti. The weekend will conclude Sunday with a 10 a.m. church service. For details call the church, 629-2862.

Seaford High plays game of football at Seaford Center By Lynn R. Parks

The hurdles weren’t exactly what they were used to. And the football was oddlyshaped. But six members of the Seaford High School football team rose to the challenge last Wednesday and won the competition, defeating the home team easily. Neither relay team suffered from a lack of enthusiastic fans. The football players brought with them six members of the SHS cheerleading squad and the home team, employees of the Seaford Center assisted living facility in Seaford, had a corps of cheering residents rooting them on. And neither team took the outcome too seriously. The whole point of the activity, said Seaford Center director of assisted living Carol Rohrbaugh, was to have fun. “This is National Assisted Living Week and we are having a great time all week,” Rohrbaugh said. Wednesday was “Life is a Homecoming” day and activities that day revolved around traditional high school homecoming events. “We can’t have a football game, so we thought we’d have a relay,” Rohrbaugh said before the start of the competition. Residents were also going to select a homecoming king and queen, build a float and reminisce about homecomings of the past. “Things like this pull them out of their routines,” Rohrbaugh said. “We all can tend to get in a rut. And this is like having a birthday party; it makes the day special, something out of the ordinary.” The high school students also benefited

from the activity, said Seaford School District athletic director Artie Uhlich. “We are all very appreciative to have the opportunity to come here and work with the community,” he said. “The kids love being a part of making people laugh and have fun.” The relay race course was set up in the facility dining room. Hurdles were packages of adult diapers and yellow caution cones. Participants had to run around the hurdles, cross a three-step bridge using a cane, cross back over the bridge and pick up the “football,” a roll of toilet paper. They then had to use a wheelchair to get back to the starting line, where they were to “spike” the toilet paper and do a victory dance. Before the relay, football players handed out small cheerleading cones, pompoms and miniature footballs. After, the SHS cheerleaders performed several cheers for the crowd. Rohrbaugh gave candy bars and small trophies to the participants. Al Stegner was among the facility residents who cheered on the home team. He put his cheerleading cone to good use as he yelled out encouragement to the Seaford Center employees. Rohrbaugh said that events like the relay help to bring young people and elderly people together and spur understanding between the generations. They also give staff members at the facility an opportunity to express their affection for the residents. “It gives us the opportunity to share with them how special they really are,” she said.

Woodbridge earns Blue Ribbon

By Cathy Shufelt

Woodbridge Elementary School (WES) added yet another honor to its growing list of accolades on Sept. 9, when teachers, staff and students learned that the U.S. Secretary of Education announced WES as one of only 304 schools nationwide to earn the highly prestigious 2010 National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence award. The award is the federal government’s highest honor given to public or private schools. WES is one of only four schools in Delaware to be recognized for the 2010 award. The Blue Ribbon Schools Program recognizes public and private schools that achieve significant levels or have made marked progress and have closed gaps in achievement especially among disadvantaged and minority students. Specifically, the schools are selected based on one of two criteria: 1) Schools whose students, regardless of backgrounds, are high performing. These are schools ranked among the state’s highest performing schools as measured by their performance on state assessments or in the case of private schools, that score at the highest performance level on tests referenced by national norms in at least the most recent year tested; and 2) Schools with at least 40 percent of their students from disadvantaged backgrounds that improve student performance to high levels as measured by the school’s performance on state assessments or nationally normed tests.

There are approximately 132,000 public and private schools in the United States with only 413 schools nationwide nominated for the Blue Ribbon award each year. The chief state school officer nominates public schools, and the Council for American Private Education (CAPE) submits private schools’ nominations. Schools are invited by the secretary of education to submit an application for possible recognition as a Blue Ribbon School. Among other recent awards for WES are the State of Delaware’s Academic Achievement Award, the Delaware Department of Education’s highest “Superior” ranking as well as the 2010 National Title I Distinguished School Award. In an email announcing the Blue Ribbon award to teachers, administrators, and staff, WES Principal Jason Cameron stated: “Being a Blue Ribbon School is just another example of all of your hard work and dedication to the children of WES. You all do so much that goes unnoticed and unappreciated that makes days like this very special. A day where you are recognized as a unit for being one of the very best at what you do, not just in the state but in the entire country. “Thank you all for the work that you have done and do to make this honor possible. None of you became educators for the awards or recognitions, but doing the job the way you do has brought many accolades upon [us] simply as a byproduct of your hard work.”

Seaford Center resident Al Stegner cheers his support for the home team. Seaford Center administrator Lon Kieffer races to the finish, holding tightly to the “football.”

Cheerleader Shanice Cannon shows her enthusiasm.

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.

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.

UNTAXED CIGARETTES - On Sept. 18 at 11:55 p.m., Laurel Police stopped a Chevrolet Impala northbound on Route 13 for a traffic violation. During the stop, officers recovered 450 cartons of untaxed cigarettes and arrested the driver, Anwar Ghani, 47, of Elizabeth, N.J. Ghani admitted that he purchased the cigarettes from North Carolina and was transporting them to New Jersey for resale. Charges include eight counts of possession of untaxed tobacco. He was committed to SCI on $16,100 cash bail only.

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.

Letters to the Editor

Separation of Church and State

First, let me commend Mr. Frank Parks (and indeed all citizens who volunteer as members of school boards) for being willing to donate his time, energy and talent toward the betterment of our community and especially our schools. For anyone who had the time or inclination to listen to Frank Parks speak before he was elected to the Seaford Board of Education, it was/is clear that he has a personal “agenda” for education, namely to make his religion/religious beliefs part of teaching and learning in the Seaford School District. Undoubtedly, Frank Parks has support from part(s) of our community. However, is this religious agenda for our teachers and students, as well as the tactics being employed to implement this agenda wise and appropriate for “state” funded, “state” controlled, public schools? I would suggest that they are NOT wise and appropriate based on the following lines of thought: Constitutional prohibition. Use of public monies for education Wisdom of our forefathers Rudeness and arrogance Constitutional prohibition: In the “Establishment Clause” in the 1st Amendment to the United States Constitution, the government “state” is, in effect, prohibited

from making laws that establish/promote/ sponsor religious activities. Our schools and education systems are established by laws, rules and regulations formulated by federal, state and local “governments.” Clearly, the inclusion of Mr. Parks’ personal religious beliefs as part of the laws, rules and regulations in our “state” run schools would violate one of the fundamental laws of our land. More properly, Frank Parks should take his case to our elected Congressional representatives to initiate change in the U.S. Constitution by

amendment. After he is successful at that level, he could bring his personal agenda to the Seaford Board of Education for consideration. Use of public monies for education: Public schools, including those of the Seaford School District, receive monies for their operation and maintenance from various governmental levels. These monies are raised through taxes of many kinds. Virtually all citizens pay for the operation and maintenance of public schools through their taxes. If Frank Parks were successful including his personal religious beliefs (Christian of some sect) he would, in essence, require all citizens to pay for the teaching of his beliefs, regardless whether they hold different religious beliefs (Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish, Agnostic, etc) or no religious beliefs (atheist) at all. This would be patently unjust and borders on the absurd. Wisdom of our forefathers: Without belaboring the point, the people who dreamed up the principles of the U.S. Constitution were pretty bright by all accounts. And Jefferson, Madison and others had the benefit of living 200 years ago, much closer in time to when “state” sponsored religion(s) trampled on the rights of citizens to practice/not practice their personal beliefs. It was with this insight into the

history of “state” sponsored/enforced religious beliefs that our forefathers thought it wise to keep government (federal/state/ local/school boards) out of the religion business and vice versa. Frank Parks may be well intentioned, but our forefathers got this right. Rudeness and arrogance: While I have no personal comment about whether Frank Parks is either “rude” or “arrogant” (his words), I suggest that we consider the following facts: a) Mr. Parks knew that the Seaford Board of Education agenda called for a “Moment of Silence;” b) Mr. Parks undoubtedly knows the meaning of the words “moment of silence;” c) Mr. Parks chose to interrupt the moment of silence at the first school board meeting he attended; d) Mr. Parks not only made no apology for his interruption, but in essence, justified his interruption by saying, “I believe that is what (my) God wants me to do.” Please make your own decision in this matter. Finally for these and other reasons, the co-mingling of religious/“church” and secular/”state” matters (including prayers during the “moment of silence” at meetings of the Seaford Board of Education) is at best unwise and unfair and at worst illegal and immoral.

was more than two years ago and, despite repeated attempts by other state legislators and me, DelDOT has not released those findings. In a letter recently sent to Secretary Wicks, we wrote: “This is our third attempt to formally request and obtain accountability on this project. The last time we contacted you regarding the issue was six months ago. We believe we have been very patient and understanding of the sensitive nature of the investigation as it relates to insurance and other claims, but our patience is coming to an end and we believe that the taxpayers of Delaware deserve a substantive update on the status of the claims related to this project.” Although much of the money spent on the project is likely lost, DelDOT may be able to recoup some of the funds from the companies that performed the work. It is our belief that the agency should release

the general conclusions of the investigation, as well as what progress they’re making on recovering taxpayer money. From day one, this project has been riddled with a series of problems. From the initial design fiasco to the failed approaches to the latest report on the minicracks in the concrete, the Indian River Bridge has been a project nightmare. It’s been one delay after another and now the planned opening is reportedly delayed yet again until Fall 2011. The public is entitled to some answers. Let’s start with the investigation pertaining to the failure with the earthen approaches. My level of frustration is similar to that of other Sussex County residents who have been patient with this project. It is time for DelDOT to be more forthcoming about where things went wrong and what corrective measures are being taken to fix the problems.

Final Word

pAGe 47

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.
