“I want to draw this thing to a con-clusion.” With those words Seaford Councilman J. Rhea Shannon motioned to approve the city’s purchase of the former Seaford Golf and Country Club. His motion was seconded by Council-man Bill Bennett and passed unani-mously.

Within 15 minutes the City of Sea-ford moved through council business that included making arrangements to purchase the former Seaford Golf and

Country Club property, sell the club house to the Nanticoke Senior Center and move forward with plans to open the golf course and swimming pool to the community by July.

The council action drew to a con-clusion all speculation about the future of the Golf and Country Club and the Nanticoke Senior Center. In recent months the Senior Center left its for-mer home at the Western Sussex Boys & Girls Club when the lease ran out. The center has now taken up temporary residency at the former “Our Father’s

House” church building on US 13.Prior to casting the deciding votes,

the Seaford Mayor and Council heard from Tom Brown, president of the Greater Seaford Chamber of Com-merce. Brown said on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce he wanted to go on record in support of the Country Club purchase. He said on May 11 the Chamber took up the question as to whether it felt the city should pursue the negotiations to purchase the former Golf and Country Club. “The Board

MORNING STAR • MAy 27 - JuNe 2, 2010 PAGe 3

Twenty five employers from across the state recently joined Governor Jack Markell to make clear that investing in private sector job creation needed to be a top priority when deciding how to al-locate the $100M+ increase in the state’s projected revenue since the Governor presented his balanced budget proposal in January.

“We should seize the chance this new revenue gives us to help create new and lasting private sector jobs,” Markell said. “We need to use what is largely one-time revenue to make investments that will cre-ate lasting private sector job growth.”

Those investments should include:• Replenishing the state’s Strategic 

Fund, which makes loans or grants avail-able to businesses looking to come to or expand in Delaware. The fund was an important tool in the state’s successful ef-fort to bring Fisker Automotive and PBF Energy to Delaware and has helped exist-ing employers, including small businesses, expand and create new jobs.

• Investing in transportation improve-ment projects, literally putting people to work in the short term to help others get to work for years

• Making investments in additional small capital improvement projects, in-cluding those where doing work to fix is-sues now could help eliminate significant costs in the future.

Speakers at the meeting included two area businessmen. Steven Rose, CEO of Nanticoke Health Services in western Sus-sex County, explained how the Strategic Fund helped them avoid defaulting on

bond payments and laying off employ-ees. Instead, Nanticoke has been able to hire over 50 new employees, including surgeons and specialists to serve the area; purchase new medical equipment and launch efforts like community health fairs, all while becoming profitable.

Scott McCaig, president of Advanced Aerosol in Seaford, who said that he had conducted business all over the world and found Delaware to be one of the most sup-portive for helping companies create jobs. This company was able to expand recently from two employees to 15 and, he said, is on track for more growth with new prod-ucts.

Budget backgroundThe Governor’s balanced budget pro-

posal presented in January for Fiscal Year 2011 provided a roadmap to close a sev-eral hundred million dollar gap without in-creasing taxes or laying-off state workers.

Since his proposal, the state’s revenue projections have climbed by over $100 million, but two factors suggest the state should treat the increase as one-time money and not spend all of it on operating expenses.

First, much of this new revenue comes from unpredictable or short-term sources such as abandoned property.

Second, the state expects to have $100 million dollars in fewer federal stimulus funds available next year. Reserving some of this new revenue for one-time alloca-tions to help Delaware businesses create lasting private sector job growth should improve the state’s long-term economic and budget outlook.

BUDDY POPPY DAY - Seaford Mayor Ed Butler proclaimed Memorial Day, Monday, May 31, as “Buddy Poppy Day” in the city. On hand for the proclamation were representa-tives of Seaford VFW Post #4961. The Buddy Poppies are sold by the VFW through Me-morial Day. Buddy Poppies are the official memorial flower of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and are assembled by disabled and needy veterans in VA Hospitals. In making the proclamation Butler made a donation and received a Poppy. He encouraged everyone to purchase the flowers to show support for the veterans.

19th century Fifth Street home gets new lease on lifeBy Lynn R. Parks

When Burton and Hester King built their new home at 300 5th St. in Seaford in 1874, they didn’t put in any bathrooms. Instead, they had an outhouse in their backyard.

For heat, the home had three fireplaces. Next door was a livery stable where horses that pulled carts, wagons and carriages through the streets of Seaford were kept.

Nearly 100 years later, when the 5th Street home was purchased for $2,000 by Bruce and Joyce Hastings, the livery stable was gone. But the house still didn’t have any bathrooms — the Hastings had one put in on the first floor — or central heat. Three propane gas wall heaters, all down-stairs, kept the house warm.

“This house used to get so cold that you could put a glass of water on the dresser at night and the next morning, it would be frozen,” said Raymond Absher, Hastings’ grandson who lived in the house from the time he was 13 until he graduated from Seaford High School in 1994.

Absher’s grandfather died about four years ago. His grandmother lived in her 5th Street home until December, when she moved into a house near Seaford that Ab-sher, a general contractor with offices in Greenwood, built for her.

And now, at the hands of Absher and his construction crew of 20, the old King house has undergone a complete renova-tion. Absher, who has the house listed for sale for $179,900, hopes that the renova-tion sparks a revitalization in downtown Seaford.

“This area has kind of deteriorated,” he said, standing in the living room of his grandmother’s old house. “Slumlords have come in and haven’t taken care of the houses. If we could get people to come in and see the beauty of the old houses and fix them up, this would become a good place to live again.”

City councilwoman Grace Peterson, who lives on King Street not too far from the Absher house, agrees. “I hope the renovation spirit will get contagious,” she said. “I believe that it will and that some-day, this whole neighborhood will look different.”

Cooper Realty agent John Allen, who is managing the sale of the house, feels that a change has already taken place in the neighborhood. “People are doing work

here,” he said. “You can see the people coming together because of the transfor-mation that Ray started here this winter. People walk by and they are excited to see this house.”

Absher began the renovation project in mid-December. In January and February, when the wet and cold weather limited outdoor work, his crews worked on the house. Without this project, he said, many of his employees would have been laid off.

Absher went to area banks to bor-row money for the renovation. But the banks, operating under federal guidelines that warn them to be cautious about the amount of money they lend for speculative construction, turned him down. He paid for the home’s renovation out of his com-pany’s reserves.

“He kept his men working doing this project and paid them out of pocket,” Al-len said. “He could easily have said that he didn’t have the work to keep them on and laid them off for the winter. But he didn’t.”

The five-month renovation project included tearing off old aluminum sid-ing and replacing it with steel-gray vinyl siding. The home has blown-in insulation and has an R-value, which measures the insulation’s ability to withstand heat trav-eling through it, of 20. (The government’s Energy Star program recommends an R-value of 4 in renovating homes; the higher the number, the better the insulation.) In addition, its crawlspace is heated and air conditioned, keeping the house cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

Absher replaced all the old windows with double-paned windows and installed a propane gas instant water heater, which saves energy by heating water only when it is needed. He fenced in the back yard and put in two concrete parking pads, one with access to 5th Street and the other with access to the back alley.

He also replaced the wrap-around porch floor, which was wooden and had some rotten places, with concrete and put in a large concrete patio in the backyard.

The house has new floors and walls and a completely new kitchen. For the first time in its history, it has central heating.

Absher said that recently, he gave his grandmother a tour of her old home. “She was just amazed,” he said. “She couldn’t believe it. She said that this was something she always wanted to do, but couldn’t af-

ford.” And she’s pleased that the house has a new lease on life, he added. “She’s really happy that I renovated it instead of just tearing it down or slum-lording it out,” he said.

For your informationThe Greater Seaford Chamber of Com-

merce will hold a mixer for chamber members in the recently renovated Absher home at 300 5th St. in Seaford on Thurs-day, June 3, from 5 to 7 p.m.

The house will be open to the public for viewing from 3 to 5 p.m. that same day. For details, call real estate agent John Al-len, 629-6693.

Continued from page onevoted unanimously (with one abstention) to support the City’s efforts based on the belief that this is in the best interest of the community and its citizens,” he said.

Citing a variety of reasons, Brown said the Chamber feels the future of the country club property is important to the commu-nity.

“First, as we try to attract new business-es, employees and residents to our area, a vacant property in the center of town does not leave a positive impression,” he said. Brown also said that the purchase pres-ents an opportunity to provide what the Chamber feels is much-needed recreational facilities for the entire community.

“Finally, we are aware that the property can also be used for spray irrigation which will become a growing issue for the city as more strict environmental regulations take effect,” he said.

Brown said the Chamber sees the city’s purchase of the Golf and Country Club property as positive for the economic de-velopment of the area. “The Chamber is very interested in hearing from City offi-cials regarding the progress of these nego-tiations and, when appropriate, providing our opinions and support,” he said.

Following council approval of the country club purchase, City Manager

Dolores Slatcher pointed out that the unanimous nature of the purchase approval came about largely because of community support. She said the reaction from people present during a recent public hearing held by the city had a lot to do with the action taken by council.

“If not for the public hearing and the significant number of people who voiced support for the city’s purchase of this property, this vote may have gone differ-ently,” she said. “I think the reaction from the people during the hearing solidifies the feeling that the community wants the city to provide services for our seniors and for us to do what it takes to avoid having blight in the center of our city.”

Mayor Ed Butler said he feels the ac-tion by the city council represents the culmination of many hours of work. “This shows what can happen when a good com-munity works together,” he said.

The cost of the former club property is $1.4 million and it is expected the tax rates will increase to Seaford property owners by about a penny, or abut $26 a year for an average property to pay for the costs of the property purchase.

In addition to approving the purchase of the Golf and Country Club, the council also approved the process to begin the sale of the clubhouse portion of the SGCC to

the Nanticoke Senior Center and to al-low City Manager Slatcher to work with Wilmington Trust Bank to secure the loan to make the purchase. Action also allowed the city to pursue the hiring of Adkins Management to do necessary golf course work to facilitate an opening in July. The cost of hiring Adkins Management will be shared by the city ($40,000) and Wilming-ton Trust ($35,000).

Adkins Management, which operates the Rookery, a public golf course near Milton, would operate and maintain the golf course for the first couple years. After the city has some operating experience under its belt, it will advertise for bids for golf course management companies, Slatcher said. It is expected that the golf course will be open seven days a week.

Slatcher has also been given the go ahead to work with the Seaford Commu-nity Swim Center in coordinating the lease of the SGCC swimming pool. A board of directors is already in place for the new Seaford Community Swim Center, which would operate the former country club’s pool in partnership with the city.

Memberships in the pool would cost $75 per person and no more than $350 per family.

The pool’s swim team would be open to members as well as non-members.

tions on Delmarva, have signed up to save lives through Blood Bank of Delmarva’s 8th annual Summer Blood Challenge (SBC).

FOR ACCESS TO THE AREA’S BEST

ORTHOPAEDIC PHYSICIANS,

CHOOSENANTICOKE.

By James Diehl

When Seaford resident Boe Harris watches area school children act out the first Thanksgiving, half

dressed up as Pilgrims and the other half dressed up as Indians, she can’t help but cringe.

Then she remembers her own special journey – and she sets out to educate, to inform and to enlighten.

“I know that, until the day I die, par-ents are going to dress up their children as Indians for Thanksgiving,” says Harris, a proud Native American who tirelessly spreads her message of the country’s indigenous tribes to whoever will listen. “But when I see that, I see it as another opportunity to bring education and aware-ness to more people.”

Born with an Anglo-Christian name she still keeps secret to this day, Harris has made it her life’s mission to spread the word of the Native American people through song, through story-telling and through goodwill.

She’s not confrontational, but her mes-sage simply must get through. The Native American people of the United States are discriminated against in many ways, she says, whether intentional or not.

Born to the Ojibwe/Dakota tribe, Harris is a northern traditional and jingle dress dancer, as well as a traditional Native American flute player. She has dedicated her life to bringing awareness and educa-tion about her people to whoever will listen.

Her driver’s license and her Social Se-curity card may read “Boe Harris,” but to her she will always be “Nakakakena,” the name of her grandmother passed down to her by her father at a young age.

It is her Ojibwe name, which translates to “rattles with feet,” and she is intensely proud and protective of it.

“When I’m at gatherings, I ask Na-kakakena’s spirit to be with me a lot; that’s who I identify myself to be,” she says. “I never knew her, but my father chose that name for me and that’s an honor in itself. Self-identification is extremely important with Indian people, and I think my dad saw some of her in me.”

A former teacher of Native American studies in the California public school sys-tem, Harris came to southern Delaware in the early 1980s to visit family – and she never left.

But one thing became quite clear soon after her move – the cultural awareness so present in California was severely lacking here in the First State.

Thus began her journey.“There just aren’t a whole lot of Indian

people here, which means there’s not a whole lot of interaction. If you saw an In-dian person, unless you talked with them, you may not even know what heritage they have,” she says. “Who’s establishing the guidelines in regards to honor and respect? That’s an important question, because honor and respect may look different to us than it does to [others].”

To some, honoring and respecting the indigenous people of North America means dressing up as Indians on Thanks-giving and sitting down with the “white man” to eat a traditional holiday meal.

Harris contends it’s exactly the op-posite, and she has mountains of data, historical journals and photographs to back up her claim.

“One of the problems is that kids in school are being told about this one event (the first Thanksgiving) and nothing else,” she says. “We’ve been living in this en-vironment and awareness has not been brought to us; it all goes back to respecting and honoring all cultures.”

Nakakakena will not soon forget the day, not all that long ago, when she picked up the newspaper and stared in disbelief at a photo portraying a group of Delaware educators dressed up as Pilgrims and Indi-ans for Thanksgiving.

It insulted her and it upset her – but it also strengthened her on her journey of awareness and enlightenment.

Come February, she wanted to know why those same educators were not dress-ing up as figures from our country’s Af-rican-American history? Where were the Hispanic costumes on Cinco de Mayo?

The responses she got were expected, yet still made her scratch her head.

“Well, they said that they couldn’t do that because it would be disrespectful and dishonoring to those people,” says Har-ris, who couldn’t agree more with that statement. “But we feel the same pain; it affects our people internally and emotion-ally. It just adds to our historical grief, and someone needs to bring the awareness to those people. We need to educate the edu-cators.”

And that’s exactly what Boe Harris and her frequent educational partner, Raggatha Calentine, have taken upon themselves to do. Whenever they’re asked, whenever it’s possible, wherever they’re wanted, they’ll be there to spread the story of their people.

“If we can physically get there, even if it comes out of our own pockets, we will be there,” says Harris. “We see that as an opportunity to share our message of aware-ness through the form of stories, music and dance, all forms that are less threatening.”

Harris gives more than 100 presenta-tions a year, to schools, social organiza-tions, churches and any other organization that will have her.

She even teaches an international music

course at Wesley College in Dover, spe-cializing in Native American music and dance.

“There’s a gentleman up there who teaches music and he wanted to include the indigenous people of this land [in the class],” she says. “I use the instruments and explain the historical and present sig-nificance of these traditional instruments; I also bring awareness through our tradi-tions.”

Harris is also in the process of writ-ing a couple of children’s books focusing on the Native American culture. She also writes poems and works with other Native groups, including the Stix Chix, a group of young Nanticoke ladies who work to spread the word of their people through music and dance.

Their message is simple, yet extremely powerful – “We are still here.”

“Their message is that Native people still exist. We are all around you, though we may not look like the stereotyped im-age that you have either grown up with or been educated about,” she says.

Working to keep Native American tradition alive

Seaford resident Boe Harris, pictured here with her daughter Casey, is on a journey to educate and enlighten as many people as possible about the customs and traditions of the country’s Native American tribes. It’s not an easy task, to be sure, but one she’s de-termined to complete.

Continued from page eight“That happens a lot; during the process

of education, there are all these things in people’s minds about Native people. So when we talk about Native people, that’s where your mind is going to go until we can expand it.”

The Cleveland Indians, the Washington Redskins, the Chicago Blackhawks, the Atlanta Braves, the Kansas City Chiefs – all professional sports franchises in the United States who use some form of Na-tive American symbol as the face of their team.

Every time Harris, and many other Na-tive Americans, look at these mascots or hear a war chant of some type at a ball game, it feels like a slap in the face.

It would be nearly impossible to show a greater level of disrespect, says Harris – so she continues on that journey, fighting what she terms the “dominant society” in the United States.

“It really takes a lot of energy to re-peat this message over and over and over again,” she admits. “But this is my jour-ney, and I expect to be on this journey until the day that I die. When you see a Native American wearing a headdress, every single one of those eagle feathers had to be earned. So when someone says, ‘here’s this really bad mascot, but we’re honoring you,’ someone needs to bring an awareness to these people.”

Native American people have been called “the invisible people” and the “vanishing people” in recent years, but Harris continues on her mission to educate – there are still hundreds of indigenous

tribes spread out around the United States. Some are on reservations, some, like Dela-ware’s own Nanticoke tribe, are not.

But all are still here, whether the re-spect follows or not.

“I have people say to me, ‘What’s the big deal, we’re all Americans,’ ” says Har-ris. “But, unless you’re a full-blooded Na-tive, somebody in your family came here from somewhere else. And if you don’t keep any traditions about who you are, it’s going to be hard for you to understand why regalia is so important to us and why dressing up non-Indian children in Indian clothing is disrespectful.

“I don’t care if its Thanksgiving or Hal-loween or whatever, it’s disrespectful and it doesn’t honor us at all.”

Cancer Survivors Day is June 6 Join us on National Cancer Survivors

Day, Sunday, June 6. This 23rd annual worldwide “Celebration Of Life” will give a voice to the millions of people who have been touched by cancer.

National Cancer Survivors Day is an annual celebration that is held in hun-dreds of communities throughout the world. Cancer survivors, caregivers, family members, friends and healthcare professionals unite to show that life after a cancer diagnosis can be meaningful and productive.

Nanticoke Cancer Care Center is host-ing a “Celebration Of Life” on Sunday, June 6, at the Blades Fire Hall from 1 to 3:30 p.m., and the community is invited to attend.

“Come learn how surviving cancer is an attitude about life and living each day to the fullest,” said Terri Clifton, National Cancer Survivors Day coordinator for Nanticoke Cancer Care Center.

Anyone living with a history of cancer, is a cancer survivor according to the Na-tional Cancer Survivor Day Foundation. Approximately 11 million Americans are now living with and beyond a diagnosis of cancer.

In the United States, almost half of all men and one third of all women are expected to be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives. Learning about this disease is crucial, because many forms of cancer can be prevented and most cured if detected early.

Major advances in cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment have re-sulted in longer survival, and therefore, a growing number of cancer survivors.

However, a cancer diagnosis can leave a host of problems in its wake. Physical, financial and emotional hardships often persist after diagnosis and treatment.

Local survivors, Lori Dalton and Lona Elliott, will speak about their personal journeys. The Bella Voce Choir of Sussex Tech High School, under the direction of Sarah Rose, will provide musical enter-tainment. Lunch and cake will be pro-vided, and all survivors will receive a gift. There will also be door prizes given out throughout the afternoon. RSVP by calling 629-6611, ext. 2378.

Bill passes to lure businessto Delaware

Legislation creating an effort to bring new businesses and jobs to Delaware has unanimously passed the House.

Sponsored by Rep. E. Bradford “Brad” Bennett, House Bill 380 would create the Business Finders’ Fee Tax Credits pro-gram (BFF). The program would allow a company that recruits a new employer to the state and the company that was recruited to share a tax credit of $1,000 for each employee their effort brings to Delaware.

If the new business brings 20 jobs to Delaware, the new business and the recruiting business would each get a $10,000 tax credit. The credits would last for three years, so if those 20 employees grew to 40 over that time, the credit would double. The Delaware Economic Devel-opment Office would be responsible for tracking businesses recruited.

The effort also encourages small busi-ness growth by keeping the number of employees needed to qualify for the credit small – just three employees. The credit would not apply to certain companies such as commercial landlords whose business is already the recruiting of new clients to the state.

HB 380 heads to the Senate for consid-eration.

RESCUE RELEASES PELICANS - Three months after their arrival at Tri-State Bird Rescue & Research in Newark, 16 rehabilitated brown pelicans have been re-turned to the wild. These pelicans were brought to Tri-State from southern Maryland in early January, suffering from frostbite and starvation as a result of the early freeze in December. The birds were given medical care and a steady diet of fish. Tri-State staff recently gave each bird a final medical evaluation to ensure that it is healthy and will be able to survive in the wild. Each pelican was fitted with a permanent metal band, so it can be identified and tracked if spotted by the public or wildlife biologists. For more information about Tri-State, visit www.tristatebird.org.

Parish aims to keep memorable marriages legal in Sussex CountyBy Ronald MacArthur

Relatives and notary publics can’t per-form marriages in Sussex County; that’s accepted fact, right?

It’s not necessarily so because both have happened, said Sussex County Clerk of the Peace George Parish, the connois-seur of memorable marriages.

Parish said some couples follow the law and get their marriage license and think that anyone can perform the ceremony, yet there is a specific list of those who can legally perform marriages. Ship captains in local waters are not on the list, he said.

Parish recently had to track down a Sussex County couple in Florida who were on their honeymoon after getting married by a notary public. He helped facilitate an-other ceremony in Florida, after contacting the Florida Attorney General’s Office.

He has also discovered “uncles” trying to marry couples in the county.

“We have found there are some yahoos out there who want to marry someone, and we have to stop them,” Parish said. “We need to be certain the bride and groom are legally married.”

He said a couple does not want to find out they are not married should legal mat-ters – custody issues, divorce and estate settlement – pop up in the future.

Parish is supporting proposed legisla-tion, including House Bill 370, to better define who can perform marriages. Under the bill, all members of the clergy who perform marriages would have to register with the Clerk of the Peace Office and pay a $60 annual fee. Clergy wanting to per-form a single marriage would be required to register and pay a $30 registration fee.

A couple who is married by an unreg-istered member of the clergy would still be considered legally married if they meet all of the other requirements according to state law. The unregistered clergy member would be subject to a $100 fine and au-thorization to perform marriages could be revoked.

The fees would be used to maintain a computerized system to assist couples with finding and verifying eligibility of clergy

members to perform marriages.Some Sussex County Council mem-

bers are curious about the proposed fees. Council President Vance Phillips of Laurel questioned if the fees were just another money-making scheme.

Up until 10 years ago, the Bureau of Vital Statistics kept a card file on those who could perform marriages. Since the process stopped, state officials are not sure who is performing weddings.

Who can legally marry a couple? Parish said the list includes clerks of the peace, current and retired judges, mayors of Dew-ey Beach and Wilmington and members of the clergy of recognized religions, even if they are not officially ordained.

Other pending legislation would allow all mayors to perform ceremonies and would also change the law to allow clergy of any religion, not just recognized reli-gions, to perform ceremonies.

“I plan to take great measure to see these are all enacted. I want all marriages to be memorable and legal,” Parish said.

Parish also said he will keep a vigilant eye out to make sure the notary public, who has been warned not to perform cer-emonies, does not help couples say “I do” in the future.

DelDOT receives funding for pathsThe Department of Transportation

(DelDOT) has received $1.79 million to support the bike and pedestrian paths on the new Indian River Inlet Bridge and Roadway Approach contracts. U.S. Con-gressman Michael N. Castle, U.S. Senator Thomas R. Carper and Senator Edward (Ted) Kauffman each worked on Del-DOT’s behalf to secure the funding.

DelDOT will utilize $300,000 for bike and pedestrian improvements on the SR 1 for the roadway approaches and will use the other $1.49 million to supplement the cost of bike, pedestrian and sidewalk im-provements on the contract currently being executed to build the new Indian River Inlet Bridge.

To the Editor: Please consider includ-ing this in the Memorial Day edition of The Star. I shall never forget the gra-ciousness, love, loyalty and support we received from Cory’s beloved hometown of Seaford, and from communities far and wide. Our thanks again, to the loving care of you all— those who have helped in our healing these last four years.

Dear Family and Friends of Cory . . . Just before this 4th Memorial Day since

Cory’s death, I ran across a card from the back of a portrait we received as a gift from Anne Oborn of Bountiful, Utah. I had never noticed it before — or perhaps was so overwhelmed with emotion when it arrived that I tucked the card away deep in my desk drawer.

I wanted to share with you Anne’s web-site. It is very uplifting. Her paintings are gorgeous. Impressionism is my favorite style of painting, so it was such a gift to receive Cory’s portrait in this style. I hope that you visit Anne’s website. Her portrait was a gift of the heart. We have it hanging at the bottom of the steps on the way to Cory’s bedroom. It is illuminated by two lights that stay on night and day. Whenev-er I go to the kitchen, I can see my beauti-ful son’s great, gregarious grin by looking over the Dutch door down the steps.

I have tried to take a picture of the painting, but haven’t been able to capture its depth and beauty. When I get a good

picture of it, I’ll share it with you. Mean-while, you can enjoy the website, www.anneoborn.com. Delaware Hometown He-roes also used the same photograph. (See Hometown Heroes on page 15.)

Anne painted Cory’s picture from the photo of him in the desert outside of Fal-lujah, Anbar Province, Iraq, in his 2004-5 tour. Michael Reagan used the same photo to prepare the lithographs of Cory present-ed to us by 2D Recon, USMC, on Dec. 8, 2006. Evidently, that photo is the one that captures all of our hearts! It was taken by Donovan or Cagney, two of his teammates during that first tour.

The situation was that our Marines were outside of the city of Fallujah, so it was before Thanksgiving 2004. In mid-November, they lost their first casualty, Jack Dempsey (http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/kjdempsey.htm). Thanksgiving Day saw another beloved Marine brother, Gunny Obleas (http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/joppena.htm) fatally wounded. You have read of the physical feats accomplished after that day by fellow Marine, Andy Hatcher (http://www.facebook.com/pages/William-Hatcher/30516499046?v=info). Andrew Koltunawicz, with whom we ate lunch at Wendy’s in Jacksonville just before they left, was also injured, as were other Ma-rines.

By the end of January 2005, they had secured the city, and on the 30th of that

month, this famous photo appeared. This is what our troops are fighting for — the freedom to choose one’s leaders — to be represented and not dominated.

As a nation so re-motely connected, we are losing sight of the great strides that have been made in Iraq. It is no less im-portant today in 2010 to continue our sup-port of the people of Iraq and Afghanistan. We cannot fathom the absence of this kind of freedom, for it was won for us over 200 years ago.

Think about the long fight women had in this country — the Land of the Free — for voting rights. From the first women’s rights meeting in the United States, held at Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848 until Au-gust 26, 1920, the day the Suffrage Battle was won, it took 72 years to gain voting rights for women. It took an additional 45 years before all Black citizens could vote. Why on earth should we expect something so fundamentally necessary to us take only months or a couple of years in countries where freedom has yet to find its way?

The War in Iraq began in 2003. Less than two years later, Iraqi citizens voted for the first time in history. That is nothing less than incredible. Their history is quite a bit longer than ours, since Iraq is the

Cradle of Civilization. http://ancienthis-tory.about.com/od/neareast/a/LOCIraq_2.htm

My son gave his life for a very worthy cause. What we as Americans consider to be an inalienable right should be a fervent prayer for others across the world, as well. Our freedom to worship is as precious, but you see, they often go hand in hand. Con-sider soulfully, the sacrifice of those who bought and paid for the freedoms we enjoy today.

Thank you, Anne Oborn, for the beauty of remembering our son. He must not have died in vain. His life was too precious to be given if we lose heart and don’t follow through with determination to achieve a chance at freedom.

The road will be filled with tears and strife. But what, after all, is worth fight-ing for if freedom is not? Healing, though, has begun, and will be perfected that great day in the morning when we are sitting at Jesus’ feet!

Their Bravery Will Not Be Forgotten

by Jim Allen, HistorianLaurel American Legion Post 19

As Memorial Day nears and we honor our fallen heroes, I would like to pay trib-ute to one of Laurel’s finest families. I am referring to the Ellis Family, Wilbur and Elsie Ellis and their sons, Pierce, Dick Joe and Blair.

Pierce Ellis, Laurel’s beloved family doctor, is quite a guy. Everyone loves him and admires him for his outstanding contributions to the town of Laurel and the citizens who call it home. He has always been there for us with exemplary medical care when we needed his services. He is one of Laurel’s favorite sons.

Dick Ellis, a World War II ace in the South Pacific, made quite a name for himself for downing scores of Japanese planes. He later earned the rank of General in the U.S. Air Force and was our Chief of Staff in Europe.

When Joe Ellis returned home from World War II, he went into business with his father-in-law. After many suc-cessful years as a businessman, he was elected mayor of Laurel and will always be remembered as one of Laurel’s notable citizens.

The youngest son in the family was my good friend and classmate, Blair Ellis.

“Jabbo,” as we called him in school, lost his life in World War II when his troop ship, the HMT Rohna, was sunk in the Mediterranean Sea. He, along with 1,014 of his buddies, was never heard of again. A day never passes that I don’t think of Jabbo and remember what a great guy and patriot he was.

I have had the honor and privilege to present the Blair Ellis award at the an-nual Laurel High School Award’s Night for several years now. And every year, as I start to speak to the graduates, I get choked up remembering the man for whom the award is named.

This year, I am giving the presenting honor to Blair’s nephew and namesake, Blair Ellis, son of Dr. Ellis. I know he will feel the same pride in presenting the award as I feel each year when I stand before the new graduates. I hope that everyone in Laurel will extend a word of thanks to the Ellis family for their dedication to their town and country.

I also would like to inform the past 60 recipients of the Blair Ellis Award that there are two books in the Laurel Public Library about the life of Blair “Jabbo” El-lis. These books were put together by Lau-rel High School Graduates, Morris Harris, Ben Sirman and Doug Marvil, and contain

pictures of all the past winners. The books are located on the second floor of the li-brary in the Delaware Room.

The Laurel American Legion Post 19’s annual Memorial Day Service will be held on Monday, May 31, at 11 a.m. The guest

speaker this year will be State Represen-tative Biff Lee. Mary Ann Young will provide beautiful patriotic music and the Laurel Middle School Band will also per-form. Refreshments will follow the service and the public is invited.

Seaford A Memorial Day tradition continues on

Monday, May 31, with a ceremony at the Veterans’ Memorial in Kiwanis Park, lo-cated at Stein Highway and Atlanta Road. The ceremony, which begins at 11 a.m., is sponsored by the Seaford Veterans Com-mittee.

U.S. Marine Corps retiree, Captain (Bishop) Carlton L. Cannon Sr., a combat wounded veteran who was awarded the Purple Heart and is pastor at the Church of God on Clarence Street in Seaford, is the scheduled guest speaker.

A Memorial Day Parade will precede the ceremony.

The parade line-up begins at 10 a.m. at Pennsylvania Avenue and Nylon Boule-vard. Parade step off is at 10:20 a.m. The parade route is Nylon Boulevard, Locust Street, Rodney Street to Farm Street for the ceremony at the Veterans’ Monument at Kiwanis Park.

A salute and recognition will be paid to all military personnel past and present, as well as any Gold Star mothers in at-tendance.

After the ceremony, there will be a dedication of “memorial bricks” that have been placed along the walkway at the monument site honoring those who have served their country.

In case of inclement weather, the pa-rade will be cancelled and the Memorial Day Ceremony will be held in the audito-rium of Seaford High School at 11 a.m.

On behalf of the Seaford Veterans Committee, consisting of Veterans of For-eign Wars Post 4961, American Legion Posts 6 and 37, AMVETS Post 1694, Ma-rine Corps League Detachment 780 and Disabled American Veterans Chapter 9, co-chairs Joe Tune and Pete Bohn extend an invitation to the public to attend this event as the community memorializes and honors the service and sacrifices of all vet-erans who have or are serving this country.

After the ceremony, American Legion Post 6 (Log Cabin) on Front Street, Sea-ford and VFW Post 4961 on Middleford Road, Seaford, will hold open houses, with lunch being served, that are free and open to the public.

LaurelState Rep. Biff Lee will be the guest

speaker for the Memorial Day service at Laurel American Legion Post 19, on Mon-day, May 31, at 11 a.m.

Born in 1947 in Delaware, Clifford G. “Biff” Lee, who resides in Laurel, attended Laurel public schools and graduated from Laurel High School in 1965.

After graduation, Lee went to work for the DuPont Nylon Plant. After two years, he enlisted in the United States Air Force and was stationed in Texas, Calif., Taiwan and New Jersey.

Our Veterans

A Delaware Hometown Heroes banner display, honoring 30 of Delaware’s war casualties, made its rounds throughout the state a year or so ago.

Four bear the names of men from Seaford, three who were killed in Iraq, and one who was killed in Lebanon. Two other banners bear the names of area men who were killed during the Vietnam War.

The banners eventually were

given to the families of the home-town heroes who will live on in our memories forever.

The Seaford men who were killed in action and who were rec-ognized in the display were:

• Michael Hastings, who was killed Oct. 23, 1983, in a bomb blast in Beirut, Lebanon;

• Ryan Long, who was killed by a suicide bomber April 3, 2003, in Iraq;

• Cory Palmer, who died May 6, 2006, after his vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb in Iraq; and

• Rick James, who was killed in battle in Iraq May 13, 2006.

Also honored in the display were:

• Richard Samuel Dennison, Bethel, who was killed March 5, 1971, in Vietnam, and

• Elmer L. Faulkner Jr., Green-wood, who was killed on June 18,

1968, in Vietnam.The banners, each about 4 feet

tall and 2 feet wide, were designed to hang from utility poles.

Each features a picture of the soldier (if available) and the sol-dier’s name, age at the time of death and information about the circumstances of his or her death.

Across the top, wrapped in red, white and blue, were the words, “Delaware Hometown Heroes.”

Six local heroes were among those who were honored

Free directory of services Looking for an assisted living facility,

adult day care, home health care services or caregiver support group in your com-munity? Would you like to locate one of Delaware’s many nutrition program sites or find providers of assistive technology devices?

You’ll find these resources and much more information in the 2010-2011 Guide to Services for Older Delawareans and Persons with Disabilities. The widely used free directory is a publication of the Delaware Division of Services for Aging and Adults with Physical Disabilities’ Aging and Disability Resource Center.

The 300-page guide was expanded to incorporate services for persons with dis-abilities that were previously published in a separate directory.

The 2010-2011 services guide is avail-able for viewing or downloading on the di-vision’s website, www.dhss.delaware.gov/dsaapd, or by calling the division toll-free at 1-800-223-9074 for printed copies.

A Spanish language edition of the pub-lication will be available in print and on the website at a later date.

Mentoring program launched HealthCorps – a proactive health move-

ment with an in-school educational and mentoring program in 50 schools in nine states announces the launch of its curricu-lum in two Delaware schools – McKean High School in Wilmington and Laurel High School in Laurel.

Nemours, owner and operator of the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, is a founding sponsor of this initiative in Delaware. The program, led by a full-time salaried health coordinator, will make its debut in the state at the start of the 2010-2011 school year this fall.

HealthCorps was founded by Dr. Mehmet Oz, the host of the nationally syndicated talk show, “The Dr. Oz Show,” and vice-chair and professor of Surgery at Columbia University Medical Center. In 2003, he conceived the program in New York City after finding himself operating on patients in their twenties who were in need of heart surgery because of poor life-style choices. He set out to save a genera-tion of youth from sustaining shorter life spans than those of their parents.

HealthCorps is focused on three pri-orities - educating the student body; achieving community outreach through “FitTown” – an initiative to connect and empower citizens and organizations to bring about awareness and affect change through local projects and initiatives; and advocating for policy shifts across all levels of government that put health and physical education back into the core cur-riculum of the American education system.

As part of the organization’s mandate, the school program extends to the commu-nity through health festivals and liaisons with local health resources and non-profits who share HealthCorps’ mission.

State cancer rates show declineSecretary Rita Landgraf of Delaware’s

Department of Health and Social Services has released the report, “Cancer Incidence and Mortality in Delaware 2002-2006.”

According to the report, the state’s overall cancer incidence and mortality rates decreased from 1992-1996 to 2002-2006 as follows:

• Delaware’s cancer incidence rate decreased 3.8 percent compared to 5.1 per-cent for the U.S.

• Delaware’s 2002-2006 cancer inci-dence rate of 507 per 100,000 was 9.5 per-cent higher than the U.S. rate of 462.9.

• Delaware’s cancer mortality rate de-creased 18.9 percent, compared to 11.5 percent nationally.

• Delaware’s cancer mortality rate of 194.3 per 100,000 was 4 percent higher than the national rate of 186.9.

“Delaware’s cancer mortality rate is down at least in part because of more cancer screenings and better lifestyle choices,” Sec. Landgraf said. “To support

Governor Markell’s priorities of promot-ing healthy lifestyles, the Division of Public Health will work with partners to continue expanding programs to prevent tobacco use, promote physical activity, proper nutrition, appropriate screening and access to quality treatment.”

“To assist in developing future cancer strategies, DPH will complete cancer clus-ter investigations for each of the 45 census tracts in which the all-site cancer incidence rate is higher than the state average,” said Dr. Karyl Rattay, DPH director. These investigations will be completed by July 30. By September, DPH will also conduct further analyses of the report’s data which show an increase in incidence of uterine, urinary bladder and thyroid cancers in Delaware.

Dr. Rattay encourages community lead-ers and individual residents to request a forum to discuss cancer rates, risks and prevention methods by calling 302-744-1040.

MORNING STAR • MAY 27 - JUNE 2, 2010 PAGE 23

By Dr. Anthony PolicastroLast week’s Seaford Star had an article

entitled, “‘Doctor for hire’ bill is alterna-tive from traditional health insurance.” It indicated that the proposal would be overseen by the Board of Medical Practice. As a member of the Board of Medical Practice, I have had a chance to review the bill.

There are some things that the article did not include which are relevant. The perception created by the headline was that you could use this type of insurance in-stead of traditional health insurance, which

is not the case. The article indicates what services would be available under a doc-tor for hire system. These services would include office visits, lab services and x-ray services.

However, there are many other things it would not cover. For example, there is no mention of surgery, hospitalization or emergency room visits. These are the kinds of things that most people have medical insurance to cover. This insur-ance plan would be in addition to current medical insurance. The rates for current insurance might be lower because some

services are not covered. However, overall there would not likely be a significant out of pocket cost to the individual.

The second thing is that the article indicates that patients would not have to pay things such as co-pays or deductibles. That may be true. However, what they are substituting for those is an up front, out of pocket cost.

If you use a lot of medical services you may pay less with the new plan. However, if you do not use many services, the out of pocket costs will be higher with the new plan. You pay whether you use the ser-vices or not.

An issue not mentioned in the article has to do with the fact that doctors partici-pating in plans like these take on less pa-tients. This allows them to give better ac-cess to their remaining patients. However, a physician who currently sees many patients and then joins this plan will see less patients. What the article did not say is who will see the patients that the doctor no longer sees.

As I indicated in my article on health care reform a few weeks ago, having more insured patients will increase the doctor shortage. There will be more patients try-ing to see the same number of doctors.

If some doctors shed patients by using a plan such as this, then those released patients will need to find a new physician. This will worsen the doctor shortage in places like Sussex County.

Other issues are related to the oversight by the Board of Medical Practice. The plan is for the Board to review all contracts. Currently, the number of contracts re-viewed by the Board is zero. The number of people on the Board with contract re-viewing expertise is zero.

The bill calls for the Board to review contracts on individuals that they have no jurisdiction over. These include individuals such as chiropractors and nurses.

Many things carry unintended conse-quences. The list provided here highlights some potential unintended consequences of the proposed legislation.

‘Doctor for hire’ insurance would complement traditional insurance

Dealing with weight-loss plateausAs weight-loss warriors climb to the

mountaintop of fitness and better health, they will inevitably cross a plateau or two in their journey.

According to Nicholas “Dr. Nick” Yphantides, M.D., M.P.H., medical spokesperson for TOPS Club, Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), the nonprofit weight-loss support organization, “There are inevitable periods of plateau. Your weight loss seems to be stuck in neutral. The real dilemma is that the plateau can be a huge motivation killer.”

The harm, he says, is that some people give up during a plateau and fall back into poor eating and exercise habits out of discouragement. On a positive note, since it’s best to lose weight slowly, steadily and sensibly, plateaus can often be a body’s balancing act. A plateau can also signal that a body has less fat left to lose.

Dr. Nick points out that real plateaus, when weight loss does in fact stall, are different from perceived plateaus, when a person is in denial and doesn’t believe they are doing anything differently, yet the weight is not coming off.

“Honesty and accuracy are such core ingredients to healthy living for TOPS members that I have to mention them, as I frequently discover what I call a ‘per-ceived plateau’ upon deeper interaction and conversations with people who are frustrated with their weight loss,” he says.

One cause of a true plateau is that the body is trying to achieve equilibrium, or homeostasis. In this state, the body wants to retain the status quo and not lose weight. Weight will resist coming off, even if the number of calories consumed and level of exercise stay the same.

Dr. Nick says that the key is to mix up your routine so the body reacts to chang-

ing signals. “Some weight-loss warriors make the mistake of expecting different results with the same routine. It’s easy to get discouraged, but it’s more effective to get creative,” he notes.

His strategies for overcoming a weight-loss plateau include:

• Eat the same weekly amount of calo-ries but eat less one day and more the next to make the body react differently. Also, remember to drink water to feel full and avoid problems caused by dehydration.

• Try adding a new activity to an exer-cise routine. It will activate more muscles and change the way the body is used. For instance, if you typically walk daily, swim or bike instead. Add high-intensity cardio intervals to a low-intensity workout. If there’s a fun, new dance class to try, this is a good time.

• Switch the type of workout. For example, trade an aerobic session for a strength-training or muscle-toning class. This can increase lean muscle mass and jump-start the metabolic rate.

• Spread out daily food intake to fuel metabolism over a longer period of time. Add a few mini-meals each day, going from three meals to five, without adding calories. Make sure breakfast is a solid meal, because it results in better concen-tration and higher energy throughout the day.

Use patience and persistence as tools in the journey to overall wellness. Weight-loss plateaus will happen along the way - but they can be overcome.

Visitors are welcome to attend their first TOPS meeting free of charge. A chapter meets at the Methodist Manor House in Seaford on Tuesdays at 6 p.m. For more information, visit www.tops.org or call 800-932-8677.

Dean performance benefits food bank

Grammy winner Billy Dean will present an acoustic concert on Saturday, June 5, in Milton, at Gov. Jack Markell’s Seventh Annual Summer Bash to benefit the Food Bank of Delaware.

The tented event is rain-or-shine at 313 Walnut St., and will include an upscale southern barbecue prepared by the Food Bank of Delaware’s executive chef, Noah Mathay. Dogfish Head Beer will be on tap and soft drinks will be served.

All proceeds from the con-cert will benefit the Food Bank of Delaware.

Tickets at $25 may be pre-purchased (children under 16 get in free) and further infor-mation can be found online at www.annualsummerbash.com. Tickets may also be pur-chased at the gate, which will open at noon.

Last year’s Annual Summer Bash featuring Grammy winner Pam Tillis attracted 800 guests and netted $16,000 for the Food Bank of Delaware.

RAINMAKER TO OPEN - On Friday, June 4, the Possum Point Players production of N. Richard Nash’s 1950’s Broadway hit, The Rainmaker, will open with a two weekend run. The show will be presented June 4, 5, 6, 11, 12 and 13 at Possum Hall in George-town. Tickets are $18 ($17 for students and senior citizens) and can be reserved by calling the Possum Point Players ticketline at 856-4560. From left George Spillane of Lewes and E.J. Panico of Seaford, rehearse a scene.

How often do you hear in one venue live performances of hits from major artists such as Queen, Madonna and Michael Jackson?

Every time that Weird Al Yankovic takes the stage – and on June 16, the Grammy Awards recipients will bring his parodies to coastal Delaware for the an-nual Comedy at the Beach, a megashow that is expected to be sold out.

“We’re thrilled at how many people are excited about Weird Al’s visit to the area. We’re go-ing to have a great time and raise money for two important orga-nizations,” said Tricia Ratner, chairperson of event organized by The Jefferson School.

Each year, Comedy at the Beach brings to coastal Dela-ware top-quality comedic talent, such as Joan Rivers and Paula Poundstone. Proceeds benefit The Jefferson School – the only independent, non-sectarian day school in Sussex County – WBOC’s Bless Our Children School Supply Drive. The drive begins this summer and benefits

children on Delmarva for the 2010/11 school year.

Tickets are priced at $45, $65 and $100 and may be purchased through comedyatthebeach.org

The live Weird Al show is a multi-media extravaganza, complete with video, costume changes, and his full band. He performs parodies and originals.

Among those who influenced him, Yankovic lists Spike Jones, Stan Freberg, Tom Lehrer, Allan Sherman, Shel Silverstein, Frank Zappa and all the other artists that he was exposed to through the Dr. Demento Radio Show.

As a teenager, Yankovic began sending homemade tapes of his songs to Dr. Demento, a nationally syndicated disc jockey known for playing comedy and novelty music. Demento found a certain charm in the accordion-powered ditties that Yankovic recorded on a cheap cassette player in his own bedroom, and gave him his first airplay. By the time Yankovic graduated from college, he not only had a mod-est cult following from the good Doctor’s radio show, but he

also had a couple of nationally-released singles (“My Bologna” and “Another One Rides The Bus”).

In addition to enjoying a night of great musical entertain-ment, patrons will also have the chance to win some fabulous and generously donated raffle prizes, such as: a B & B Music guitar signed by Yankovic; a restaurant gift certificate bundle worth hundreds of dollars; a Baywood Greens golf outing for four; gorgeous jewelry from Bellinger’s Jewelers; Bad Hair Day!’s Queen for the Day spa package; a Bonkersville party for 20 children; a Nassau Valley Vineyard Tour and Tasting; and a 50/50 raffle.

A food court will offer Kickin’ Chicken, Grotto Pizza, hot dogs, world-famous Sticky Toffee Pudding from Go Fish! British Fish & Chip Shoppe, and Dolle’s popcorn & candy. Soda, beer, wine, and the signa-ture “Comedy Cocktail” will be served at the bars. Beverages donated by Pepsi Bottling Com-pany and Atlantic Liquors.

With the 2010 summer season making its debut on Memorial Day weekend and plenty of good weather ahead, many boaters will be heading out on the water. As they do, however, the DNREC Office of Boating Safety encour-ages them to remember to prac-tice safe boating over Memorial Day weekend – and all summer long.

“Delaware consistently has one of the lowest boating ac-cident rates in the country. Last year, we had only one boating-related fatality and 18 reportable boating accidents,” said Sgt. Greg Rhodes, the Boating Safety of-

fice’s boating education special-ist. This year so far in Delaware, five boating accidents have been reported, with two fatalities.

Recent statistics from the U.S. Coast Guard show the top five primary contributing factors for boating accidents are careless/reckless operation, operator inat-tention, no proper lookout, opera-tor inexperience and passenger/skier behavior. Alcohol use is the leading contributing factor in fatal boating accidents and was listed as the leading factor in 17 percent of the 709 boating-related fatalities reported nationwide in 2008, the most recent year for

which Coast Guard statistics are available.

While it is not illegal for recreational boat operators to consume alcohol, the same blood alcohol limit used to measure intoxication in automobile drivers applies to boat operators: 0.08 or above is legally intoxicated, Rho-des added, noting boat operators found to be at or over the limit face fines and potential jail time, as well as putting themselves and their passengers at risk.

Statistics also support the vital role of wearing life jackets in keeping boaters safe. Accord-ing to Coast Guard data, more

than two-thirds of those killed in boating accidents in 2008 were drowning victims – and 90 per-cent of them were not wearing life jackets. In addition, capsizing and falling overboard were the most reported types of fatal ac-cidents.

“Delaware law requires that children age 12 and younger wear a life jacket while underway in any vessel on Delaware waters. Though life jackets are not le-gally required for adults, they should also wear them, especially those with limited swimming skills,” said Sgt. Rhodes. Taking a boating safety course can also improve your skills and reduce the chances of an acci-dent. Coast Guard statistics show that where instructional data was available, 85 percent of reported fatalities occurred on boats where the operator had not received boating safety instruction.

Delaware’s Office of Boat-ing Safety provides volunteer instructors to private and non-profit organizations, schools, clubs and the public to educate boaters on skills and seaman-ship and to encourage them to be safe, knowledgeable and respon-sible. Courses are offered free of charge, including materials and educational aids.

Under Delaware law, all persons born on or after Jan. 1, 1978, must successfully complete a boating safety course in order to operate a boat in Delaware waters, including personal wa-tercraft. “We recommend that everyone who is going to operate a boat in Delaware waters take a safety course first, regardless of their age,” Rhodes added.

For more information on Dela-ware’s boating safety education courses, visit www.fw.delaware.gov/Boating/BoatingSafety.htm.

Laurel’s 16 th Annual

July 4th Celebration

On Saturday, April 17 with Jimmy Hoppa from WBOC serving as the emcee for the evening, Nanticoke Health Services hosted the 24th Annual Dinner and Auc-tion at Heritage Shores in Bridgeville.

Even though the ship was docked on dry land, guests enjoyed the experience of traveling on a cruise, including cruise pho-tos, “excursions” to Jamaica and Mexico, and an “underwater” dining experience. Provided with chocolate “Dramamine,”

guests enjoyed their travels aboard the Nanticoke of the Seas.

Guests had the opportunity to bid on over 300 items donated from local and regional businesses and community mem-bers. Once again, the entertaining Don Moore took to the ship’s wheel to lead the live auction.

The nearly 350 attendees also had the opportunity to bid on silent and Chinese auction items.

Proceeds from the evening benefit Women’s Health Services and the Charity Endowment Prescription Fund at Nanti-coke Memorial Hospital.

Over the 24 past years, the dinner and

auction has raised more than $866,000 to benefit Nanticoke Health Services. Plans are already beginning for the 25th Annual Dinner and Auction, scheduled for April 9, 2011.

Denn releases report on charter and vocational schools spending

Lieutenant Governor Matthew Denn has released the second half of his annual report on the percentage of funds spent by schools on the direct education of students.

This annual report, which focuses on vocational technical schools and charter schools, is designed to encourage Dela-ware public schools to spend a greater por-tion of their public funds in the classroom rather than on administrative overhead costs.

The first half of Denn’s report, released last month, indicated that Delaware’s tra-ditional public school districts could spend up to $28 million more in the classroom without raising taxes, if they were all directing funds into the classroom at the same rate as the districts with the best per-formance in this area.

The most recent report and statistics released indicate:

• Charter schools in Delaware gener-ally spend a lower percentage of their total dollars on direct student expenditures than traditional public school districts. How-ever, charter schools should be expected to have lower overall percentages of their funds devoted to direct student expendi-tures, because they must pay for facility costs out of their annual operating costs.

Even given the differential described above, there is an extraordinary range among the charter schools with respect to the percentage of funds spent on direct student expenditures - substantially greater than the spread among traditional public school districts. The traditional public school district with the highest percentage of funds spent on direct student expendi-tures spent 77.47% on those expenditures,

while the district with the lowest spent 69.59%. By contrast, the charter school with the highest percentage spent on direct student expenditures spent 72.63%, while the school with the lowest percentage spent 50.83%.

• Although there is not a direct statisti-cal correlation between a charter school’s population of low-income students and the amount it spends on expenditures that are not considered direct student expenditures, it is notable that among the six charter schools that spent the highest percentages of their funds on direct student expendi-tures, only one had a ‘‘low-income’’ stu-dent population of over 40%.

Conversely, six of the seven charter schools that spent the lowest percentages of their funds on direct student expendi-tures had low-income populations over 40% of their student body — and five of those seven schools had low-income popu-lations over 70% of their student body.

• Like charter schools, vocational tech-nical school districts generally spent a lower percentage of their total dollars on direct student expenditures than traditional public school districts. It is difficult to draw conclusions from this variance, be-cause of the different educational services provided by vocational-technical schools, some of which may entail higher facility and equipment costs than those incurred by traditional school districts.

“My hope is that parents and taxpayers will use these statistics to ask questions of those who run their schools, and encour-age them to redouble their efforts to direct public dollars at kids in the classroom,” said Denn.

STUDENTS CLEAN UP ROAD - Students in the Class of 2013 at Sussex Technical High School participated in an Adopt-A-Highway clean up day on Saturday, May 1, on Rum Bridge Road. Accompanying the students were class advisors Ms. Linsey Beeson and Mrs. Sherri Smith, plus a few parents. The clean up began at 8:30 a.m. and the 2.5 mile road was finished at 10 a.m. Thirty bags of trash were collected along with two huge pieces of carpet, multiple pieces of wood and several pillows.

Freshman students who participated in the clean-up were Sara Hall, Millsboro; Cailey Isaacs, Georgetown; Emily Hall, Millsboro; Nikki Widen, Greenwood; Casey Gove, Del-mar; Chris Clifton, Bridgeville; Taylor Wilson, Delmar; Norma Leyva-Ortiz, Seaford; Chiara Abbruzzi-Davis, Ellendale; Sam Mitchell, Seaford; Bethany Killmon, Bridgeville; Paige Cook, Bridgeville; Taylor Hatfield, Georgetown; Dylan Varrato, Georgetown; Tyler Wha-ley, Seaford; Nicole Heck, Georgetown; Chelsea Wootten, Georgetown; Blaine Daisey, Lewes; and Seth Wilson, Georgetown.

Rusty Dukes to chair campaignCommunity leader and businessman

Rusty L. Dukes has been named campaign chair for the $505,000 “Bridging the Gap” campaign at Delmarva Christian High School. To meet increased demand, the school has launched a capital campaign to provide more classroom and administra-tive space for the school.

Rusty Dukes is manager of Dukes Lumber Company in Laurel, a family-owned business founded in 1963 by his grandfather, Silas E. Dukes. He is the son of retired County Councilman Dale Dukes and has two sons of his own. His young-est, Kolby is a 2009 graduate of Delmarva Christian High School.

Dukes has an extensive background in community service and missions work throughout the Delmarva Peninsula and beyond. Using his knowledge of the con-struction industry, Dukes organized work crews to assist with the building of the Habitat for Humanities Corporate Office in Georgetown. He also served as con-struction manager for the Nehemiah House in Seaford. In addition, Dukes led four mission teams of students from Delmarva Christian High School to Gulfport, Miss. to assist with Katrina Relief.

Dukes serves on the executive board of Delmarva Teen Challenge and has made 20 Teen Challenge mission trips to Ocho Rios, Jamaica.

Delmarva Christian High School opened its doors in 2004 as the only Sus-sex County private Christian high school alternative for families who wish to pro-vide their children with a safe, high-quali-ty, wholesome, values-oriented education. Although the entire DCHS facility was

constructed during 2002-03, only 40% of the internal space was built-out. In order to save costs and prepare for the future, the entire center section of the school was left unfinished.

“Since its inception the school has grown steadily, with annual increases in enrollment of 15-20%. This has created an urgent need to build-out additional space within the facility to serve at least another 200 students over the next few years.” said Robin James Chair, DCHS board of direc-tors.

Dukes is now recruiting his campaign leadership committee, which currently in-cludes Marlene Elliott-Brown, Tim Smith, Duane Taylor, Steve Theis and Harriett Smith-Windsor.

Tilapia gaining popularity in U.S.Can you name the most popular

seafood consumed in the U.S.? If your answer is shrimp, you’re cor-rect, but come on, the question is kind of a no-brainer. How about the fish that has quadrupled in consumption in the last four years, ranking it #5 in piscatorial popular-ity? Nudging out cod, crab, clams, flounder and catfish is - tilapia.

Most of the tilapia available to us is farm raised in Ecuador, Costa Rica, Columbia, Honduras and Bra-zil. Because it’s grain fed, it’s said to be toxin-free. Tilapia is low in calories and saturated fat, and is a great source of phosphorus, niacin, selenium, vitamin B12 and potassium. Because it doesn’t have a “fishy” taste it’s a fish that kids will eat. And because of this lack of what some might call personality, it lends itself to a variety of treatments. Here are a few pretty tasty suggestions.

Sautéed Tilapia with Lemon-Pepper-corn Pan Sauce

Serves 2This yummy idea comes from Cooking

Light.3/4 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken

broth1/4 cup fresh lemon juice1 1/2 teaspoons drained brine-packed

green peppercorns, lightly crushed1 teaspoon butter1 teaspoon vegetable oil2 (6-ounce) tilapia filets1/4 teaspoon salt1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pep-

per1/4 cup all-purpose flour2 teaspoons butterLemon wedges (optional)Combine first 3 ingredients.Melt 1 teaspoon of butter with oil in a

large nonstick skillet over low heat.While butter melts, sprinkle fish fillets

with salt and black pepper. Place the flour in a shallow dish. Dredge fillets in flour; shake off excess flour.

Increase heat to medium-high; heat 2 minutes or until butter turns golden brown. Add fillets to pan; sauté 3 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Remove fillets from pan. Add broth mixture to pan, scraping to loosen browned bits. Bring to a boil; cook until reduced to 1/2 cup (about 3 minutes). Remove from heat. Stir in two teaspoons of butter with a whisk. Serve sauce over fillets. Garnish with lemon wedges, if de-sired.

Chili-Rubbed Tilapia with Asparagus and Lemon

Recipe courtesy EatingWell.comServes 42 pounds asparagus, tough ends

trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces2 tablespoons chili powder1/2 teaspoon garlic powder1/2 teaspoon salt, divided1 pound tilapia, Pacific sole or other

firm white fish fillets2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil3 tablespoons lemon juiceBring 1 inch of water to a boil in a

large saucepan. Put asparagus in a steamer basket, place in the pan, cover and steam until tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Trans-fer to a large plate, spreading out to cool.

Combine chili powder, garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt on a plate. Dredge fillets in the spice mixture to coat. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish and cook until just opaque in the center, gently turning half-way, 5 to 7 minutes total. Divide among 4 plates. Immediately add lemon juice, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and asparagus to the pan and cook, stirring constantly, until the asparagus is coated and heated through, about 2 minutes. Serve the as-paragus with the fish.

Big Daddy’s Blackened TilapiaRecipe courtesy of Aaron McCargo Jr.4 servingsBlackening Spice:3 tablespoons smoked paprika1 teaspoon salt1 tablespoon onion powder1 teaspoon ground black pepper1 teaspoon cayenne pepper1 teaspoon dried ground thyme1 teaspoon dried oregano1/2 teaspoon garlic powderFor Fish:4 tilapia fillets2 tablespoons grapeseed oil1/2 lemon, juicedIn a small bowl combine all of the spic-

es. Press a heaping tablespoon of the spice mix onto each fillet so that both sides are liberally coated. Allow the fish to sit for 15 minutes at room temperature before cooking.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is almost smoking, add the fillets and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Sprinkle with lemon juice and transfer the fillets to serv-ing platter.

Note: Grapeseed oil has a light flavor and high smoking point. You can substi-tute peanut oil or corn.

Businesses robbed in SeafordOn May 17 at 9:30 a.m., Seaford Police

officers responded to the Seaford Village Shopping Center for a burglary complaint.

Officers determined that unknown suspect(s) forced entry into two business-es. Officers determined that nothing was stolen from Delaware Title Loans, how-ever, an undisclosed amount of currency was stolen from Comcast.

The Seaford Police Department is ask-ing anyone with information about this crime to call 629-6644 or Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333. Crime Stop-pers is offering a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those involved.

Fire caused by wiring malfunctionThe Delaware State Fire Marshal’s Of-

fice investigated a motor home fire that occurred on Wednesday, May 19, at 3:57 p.m., on the 26000 block of Deely Street in Seaford.

The Blades Fire Department responded to the alarm. The motor home sustained heavy damage as a result of the fire. Two adjacent recreational vehicles also suf-fered exposure damage. No injuries were reported. Damages have been estimated at approximately $29,000.

State Fire Marshal investigators have determined that the fire originated inside the motor home in the area of the refrig-erator and was caused by an electrical malfunction.

Arrested for stealing vehicleOn May 18 at 7:45 a.m., Seaford Police

responded to a residence in the 800 block of Cypress Drive in Seaford for a report of a stolen vehicle. Officers determined that the victim’s vehicle, a 2005 Nissan Sen-tra, was stolen from outside her residence some time after 11 p.m. on May 17.

On May 18 at 10:25 p.m., officers re-sponded to the area of McKean Street for a suspicious vehicle complaint.

When officers arrived, they observed the defendants - a 17-year-old male from Rehoboth Beach and Christopher Loder, 18, of Seaford - operating a vehicle match-ing the description of the stolen vehicle.

Officers confirmed the vehicle was sto-len and attempted to stop the vehicle. The vehicle fled east on Locust Street and, af-ter a brief chase, officers were able to stop the vehicle in the area of High and Market Streets.

The passenger, the 17-year-old male, was taken into custody after a brief foot chase and struggle with officers. Both de-fendants were transported to the Seaford Police Department for further processing and arraigned at the Justice of the Peace Court 3 in Georgetown.

The 17-year-old male was charged with resisting arrest, conspiracy and offensive touching of a law enforcement officer. He was committed to the Stevenson Center on $4,000 secured bond, pending an arraign-ment in Family Court.

Loder was charged with theft of a mo-tor vehicle, receiving stolen property, conspiracy, no valid License and failure to stop at a stop sign.

He was committed to the Department of

Corrections on $5,300 secured bond, pend-ing a preliminary hearing in the Court of Common Pleas.

vestigation into a shooting which occurred in the parking lot of Chandler Heights, have arrested Leondre M. Williams of Bridgeville. On April 7, a 21-year-old male was shot twice in the hip and but-tocks while in the parking lot of the apart-ment complex.

On May 21 at 2 a.m., Williams was observed by security at the Harrington Raceway and Casino. The Delaware State Police were notified and Williams was apprehended in the parking lot without incident.

Williams was transported to the Seaford Police Department where he was charged with attempted murder, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and possession of a firearm by person prohibited. He was arraigned at the Justice of the Peace Court #3 in Georgetown and committed to the Department of Correc-tions in lieu of $135,000 cash bond. A pre-liminary hearing is pending in the Court of Common Pleas at a later date.

Fatality involving school bus Delaware State Police are investigating

a fatal crash involving a school bus that killed one driver.

The crash occurred on Friday, May 21 at 2:20 p.m., when a Ford Explorer oper-ated by Juan Quintero, 25, of the Newark area, was traveling northbound on Route 72 south of Reybold Road in Bear.

Without warning, the Explorer drifted onto the shoulder and then veered into the southbound lane heading for a head-on collision with a school bus operated by Jo-seph S. Stucky, 28, of New Castle. Stucky steered into the northbound lane to avoid the impact. The Explorer struck the right side and the right rear of the school bus with the Explorer’s right side.

After striking the school bus, the Ex-plorer began to overturn on its sides and landed on a Ford pickup truck, which was traveling behind the school bus. The truck was driven by Zachary C. Yates, 33, of Middletown. Yates, was taken to Chris-tiana Hospital where he later died of his injuries.

Quintero was taken to Christiana Hos-pital and was admitted for injuries he re-ceived in the crash.

Eight of the 29 school children on the bus were taken to Christiana Hospital where they were treated for minor injuries. The children were coming from Gauger Middle School.

Warrants are on file pending Quintero’s release from the hospital for the following charges: vehicular homicide, eight counts of vehicular assault and DUI.

Quintero and Stucky were wearing their seatbelts at the time of the crash and Yates was not.

Sean A. Greene, 36, of Bronx, N.Y., after he was stopped for a traffic violation near

Seaford on U.S. 13, south of CR 534.Just before 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May

18, a state trooper stopped a silver car with suspended New York registration. The trooper made contact with Greene who was driving the car on a suspended driv-er’s license. The trooper smelled marijuana coming from inside the car and found 114 grams of marijuana and drug parapher-nalia. The marijuana was packaged so it could be sold in individual packets.

Greene was charged with possession with the intent to deliver marijuana, main-taining a vehicle for keeping controlled substances, possession of drug parapher-nalia, driving under the influence, driving with a suspended license and driving an unregistered vehicle. He was arraigned and committed to the Department of Correc-tion in default of $10,602.

Dover Police arrested McCoy on May 22, on Barrister Place off of North Little Creek Road in Dover City.

McCoy was charged with first degree murder, first degree robbery, kidnapping, possession of a firearm by a person pro-

hibited, conspiracy and possession of a firearm during the commission.

He was committed to the Department of Corrections without bail.

Arrested for robberiesSeaford Police, in continuing their in-

vestigation into two robberies on March 17, have arrested James R. Chambers, 38, of Smyrna. On March 17 at 4 p.m. Seaford Police responded to the Rite-Aid on Stein Highway in Seaford for a reported rob-bery. A male victim was approached by Chambers who was able to grab the vic-tim’s wallet and flee the store.

At 6:30 p.m. that same day, Seaford Police responded to the Valero Shore Stop on Stein Highway for a reported robbery. A female victim was pumping gas when Chambers approached her and stole her purse from inside her vehicle. Detectives responded and were able to link Chambers to both incidents and obtained warrants for his arrest.

On May 23 at 8 p.m. officers arrested Chambers who turned himself in at the Smyrna Police Department. Chambers was transported to the Seaford Police Depart-ment where he was processed and later arraigned at the Justice of the Peace Court #3 in Georgetown. He was committed to the Department of Correction on $30,000 cash bond pending a preliminary hearing in the Court of Common Pleas. Charges include first and second degree robbery.

Police Journal

Gas LinesThe official start of the summer driv-

ing season is upon us and for the second consecutive week prices at the pump continue to back away from the spring peak price of $2.93 a gallon set on May 6. This is welcome news for motorists planning to take to the roads next week for the Memorial Day weekend.

Crude Oil PricesCrude oil continued its downslide

for a second week, as prices hovered on both sides of the $70 a barrel mark. The commodity briefly touched a 9-month low of $64.24 in the largest intraday trading price range of around $7 since October 2008, before settling at $70.04 Friday.

Prices at the pumps“Retreat. It’s often a word associated

with defeat. But it’s victory for con-sumers as gas prices continue to draw back from the projected $3 a gallon seasonal peak. Motorists will take ad-vantage of this as they take to the road for the upcoming Memorial Day holiday weekend,” said Jana L. Tidwell, acting manager of Public and Government Af-fairs for AAA Mid-Atlantic. “Overall, AAA projects the number of Americans traveling for the Memorial Day holiday weekend will be up 5.4% from 2009, with approximately 32.1 million travel-ers taking a trip away from home.”

Local pricingOn Monday gas stations from Del-

mar to Greenwood were selling regular gasoline in a range from $2.699 to $2.859 a gallon. The high is equal to a week ago, the low is six cents less.

Is it unpopular to assert that the United States is a great nation?

I was driving down the high-way last week with my radio on and heard sound bites from the recent address Mexico’s President Felipe Calderon gave to a joint ses-sion of Congress. Calderon was in Washington to meet with President Obama on issues of mutual interest to their two countries. I certainly feel the issue of illegal immigration should be one of those mutual inter-est issues.

First of all, I support immigration; how-ever, I limit that support to legal immigra-tion. Millions of U.S. citizens who were not born in this country took the initiative to become legal citizens of the United States. As far as I am concerned, these legal immigrants should be at the forefront of the fight to stop illegal immigration.

When I heard President Calderon an-nounce his opposition to Arizona’s new immigration law it made my blood boil. The only thing that infuriated me more was the fact that members of our Congress stood and applauded his open criticism. At what point are we as a nation going to begin to recognize that the federal govern-ment has not taken the immigration issue seriously enough to actually do some-thing? This stems back as far as President Reagan and all presidents since.

I support the process of coming to this country to become a citizen, but it must be done in a structured manner that allows full disclosure and protects the existing citizens of our nation, as well as our econ-omy. I am fed up with leaders of other countries exploiting the freedoms of the United States to promote their agendas.

For generations Americans have fought and died to keep our freedoms and to make the United States the type of haven that countless people living under tyran-nical dictators and in impoverished condi-tions come to, to seek solace.

Make no mistake, simply because we have always opened our doors to people from all cultures, ethnic and national ori-gins it should not be interpreted that we should lay down and have unfettered ac-cess to life within our borders.

There is a price to enjoy the freedoms of this country, the least of which is to be-

come a legal citizen.I cannot support President Calderon’s

arrogance in vocalizing his opposition to Arizona’s new immigration law in a public U.S. forum, especially our Congress. I also cannot appreciate the outlandish lauding of such arrogance by our own U.S. represen-tatives. At what point can we expect our U.S. government officials to actually stand up in support of our country and not cater to the anti-U.S.A. factions that are deter-mined to make our country out to be a hu-man rights villain, yet exploit its freedoms for their own gain?

President Calderon certainly knows that his country’s economy is bolstered by billions of dollars that illegal immigrants send back to families in Mexico, funds that are derived through employment ob-tained illegally in this country. He has no dog in this fight. He stands to gain from millions of illegal immigrants in our coun-try. So, I find further arrogance in his pub-lic denouncing of Arizona’s law.

The issue of Arizona’s immigration law is one that our nation will deal with, not Mexico. Arizona was forced to do something to protect its citizenship and economy from the dangers of unregulated immigration, since the federal government has been unable to successfully address the problem.

I am not going to address this issue, as it is currently being addressed, based on political ideology. To me this is not a Republican or Democrat issue but an issue about the sovereignty of the United States.

Based on the explanation of President Calderon himself, someone from another country who seeks to live in Mexico must first provide documentation and prove they are who they say they are. The law enforcement branch of Mexico must do a background check to assure the individual does not have a criminal background.

In order to be considered for citizen-ship, the person must provide benefit to the economy of Mexico and not bring economic liability. Calderon told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that his law enforcement can investigate anyone suspected of being il-legal and demand to see their papers and, if not satisfied, they are legally allowed to deport them to their native country.

How is that for hypocrisy?I support Arizona’s attempts to get the

federal government and the nation for that matter, to recognize the serious blight that illegal immigration is forcing on its people and economy.

The Supreme Court will ultimately be faced with deciding if the new law is con-stitutional. It appears Arizona has taken great pains to assure that it is.

I do not support deportation of produc-

tive, otherwise law abiding illegal immi-grants; but I support assisting them in the process of becoming legal citizens. I also support stringent actions to seal our bor-ders and work to document and regulate the influx of new immigrants to this coun-try. Since at least 9/11 this should have been, and should continue to be, a national priority.

I would urge our elected officials and dignitaries to not make our internal dis-agreements something to help expedite their ideological agendas.

President Calderon’s recent rant in

Congress and the support of it by our elected officials is an example. Also, As-sistant Secretary of State Michael Posner’s decision to use the Arizona immigration law as fodder for discussions of human rights violations with the country of China is another ludicrous example of ideology superseding U.S. interests.

It is time we stop allowing political ideology to further divide us a nation and instead find common ground to agree that we are still the greatest nation on earth and to promote our international agenda on that fundamental basis.

Seaford schoolreferendum passes 475-222By Lynn R. Parks

The Seaford School District got an OK from its residents for a tax hike to pay for new roofs and elevators. Tuesday’s refer-endum won with 68 percent of the vote.

Nearly 700 people voted in the referen-dum, according to unofficial results posted by the Sussex County Department of Elec-tions. Of those, 475 voted for the measure and 222 voted against.

“We won!!!” said an e-mail sent out by district spokeswoman Bonnie Johnson.

For the average homeowner in the dis-trict, approval of the referendum will mean an additional $10 a year. Property owners pay school taxes based on county assess-ments. Average property assessment in the district is about $16,000.

The additional revenue will help pay for new roofs for Central Elementary, Sea-ford Middle and West Seaford Elementary schools, as well as a new roof for the gym at the Seaford Middle School. It will also pay to replace elevators in Seaford Middle School and Seaford High School.

The state will pay 73 percent of the cost of the roof replacement and elevator projects.

The district will also build a wing on Central Elementary School to accommo-date elementary students who are orthope-dically handicapped. Those students cur-rently meet in four classrooms in Frederick Douglass Elementary School. The state will pay 100 percent of the cost of that construction.

Total project cost will be about $6.6 million. Of that, the district will pay $1.172 million and the state the balance.

By Mike McClureThe Laurel School Board met last

Thursday afternoon to discuss the major capital improvement plan which failed, 1444-1241, in a vote on March 31 and to act on a possible second ref-erendum. In the end, the board chose to get more input from the public before setting a second and final vote.

The Laurel School District had the option of sending the proposed plan, which included the construction of a middle school/high school complex and elementary school complex, back to the public in mid May. A successful referendum could have meant funding in the FY 2011 state budget, but an unsuccessful one would have sent the board back to the drawing board.

School districts can only send an issue to referendum twice in a 12 month period and the district’s cer-tificates of necessity run out Oct. 31,

meaning Laurel would have to start the process of requesting state funding all over again at the end of the year.

Discussion of the current plan and the scheduling of a new referendum each died for lack of a motion during Thursday’s meeting. The district plans to hold a pair of public hearings in the future.

“If the majority wants us to come back with the same thing (plan) we will. I’m not saying we will do that,” said Laurel School Board President Jerry White. “We will not be shooting for a May 20 referendum.”

John Marinucci, Education Associate for Facility Planning and Management with the state Department of Education (DOE), was on hand to explain the process and to answer residents’ questions. Marinucci discussed the study that was used to determine the need to build new build-ings rather than renovating the dis-

trict’s current facilities. That study was commissioned by the Laurel School District and was conducted by Studio JAED, a third party architect and engi-neering firm.

According to Marinucci, if the cost of renovating a school is 50 percent of the cost to build a new one or more, the state asks districts to build new facilities (unless the structure has his-toric, cultural, or architectural signifi-cance). The district planned to retain the 1920’s/30’s section of the middle school and build four new schools with the middle school and high school and the two elementary schools each shar-ing a complex.

“The cost to renovate in some cases were actually above the cost of a new school,” Marinucci said. “Going from four buildings to three buildings would save money.”

On May 13, the fast ½ mile clay oval was invaded with Outlaws. The Delaware International Speedway hosted the sixth visit of the WoOLMS (World of Out-laws Late Model Series). This was their seventh year on tour visiting dirt tracks across the nation.

There were 40 cars to qualify for the 24 available positions. Four heats were held with 10 cars in each and only four cars qualified; 2 B-Mains of 12 cars were held, with two cars taken from each main. The fastest speed in qualifying was set by Rick Eckert #24 with 18.377 seconds and 97.949 MPH. Eckert also had the fastest heat time of 18.557 seconds. The fast-est time in the 50 lap feature was set by Brady Smith #2.

The feature was won by Josh “Kid” Richards who dominated the lead on the start from second position. Around lap 25, Richards said he lost a cylinder and was running on seven cylinders. Richards held off both Brady Smith and Steve Francis #15 to the very end. However, both Smith and Francis made Richards work for his money.

During the feature, several drivers in the top five had to make a trip to the pits for a new tire or mechanical woes. Lo-cal favorite Seaford native, Ricky Elliott suffered woes early with only 12 laps in and did not return to the track. Others that fought for position and returned were Clint Smith, Vic Coffey and Tim Fuller. Points leader going in at the start, Tim “T-Mac” McCredie had to give up position on lap 23. T-Mac returned to finish 16th but gave the points lead to Richards after Richards won the A Main. Others falling by giving up positions were Ross Robin-son, Jeremy Miller and Jamie Lathroum.

Another local favorite, Austin Hubbard in #19H, started 19th and finished 4th. Hubbard is running most of the WoOLMS features after landing a ride with Beitler Motorsports for the 2010 season. The WoOLMS schedule currently boasts 48 events at 41 tracks in 19 states and two Canadian regions. Hubbard had his sixth top-five finish of 2010.

The evening had three females compete for a position in the A Main - WoO LMS Rookie of the Year candidate Jill George of Cedar Falls, Iowa, as well as DIS regulars Staci Warrington of Milton, and Amanda Whaley of Millsboro. Amanda became the third female driver in the his-tory of the WoOLMS to start an A-Main, qualifying through a B-Main in what was her first-ever Outlaw appearance plus her fifth Super Late Model start. Whaley said she wants to race in the World of Outlaws someday. She completed 33 laps to record a 19th-place finish in the ‘First State 50.’

The top 10 went to Josh Richards, Brady Smith, Steve Francis, Austin Hub-

bard, Dale McDowell, Rick Eckert, Shane Clanton, Darrell Lanigan, Chub Frank, and Russ King. A complete rundown is available online at www.delawareracing.com.

Two weeks ago the track held “Topless Night” where all the regular race divisions removed the top sheet metal and side panels from the top of the cars. The roll cages were exposed with an up close look at the drivers sitting in the cock pit. Wing & Thing night for Late Models was last week. The 2010 schedule features special events every week or so to give fans a great night of racing. This Saturday, the URC Sprints return for their second ap-pearance of the season.

Winner Josh “Kid” Richards #1, is the current points leader after this race on May 13.

Sussex County’s financial picture for the coming fiscal year looks solid, thanks to an economy slowly on the mend and County government’s continued emphasis on strict spending con-trols to keep costs in check.

County leaders on Tuesday, May 18, unveiled the proposed $139.8 million budget for next year, a plan that is up from the current year’s budget, but mostly because of an infusion of one-time federal ‘stimulus’ funds for capital projects, not day-to-day expenses. The proposal calls for no property tax increase and avoids employee layoffs and pay cuts, while funding important public services such as paramed-ics, sewers, libraries and land use.

County Administrator David B. Baker presented to County Council the proposed budget for the new fiscal year that begins July 1. Baker was joined by Fi-nance Director Susan M. Webb, Budget and Cost Manager Kathy L. Roth and Accounting Division Director Gina A. Jennings in pro-posing the 2010-2011 plan.

The proposed total budget keeps in place the County’s property tax rate of 44.5 cents per $100 of assessed value, mak-ing this the 21st year without an increase. The average County tax bill for a single-family home re-mains at just over $100 annually.

However, some increases in sewer rates, up to $15 annually, will occur as the County takes the first steps toward implementing a uniform service charge for the bulk of its 59,000 sewer custom-ers. That annual charge, which now varies among the County’s 20 sewer districts, pays for op-erations and maintenance of the County’s sewer systems.

“The proposal for Fiscal 2011 is a baseline balanced budget,” Baker said. “Our challenge again has been to present a plan that allows the County to live within its reduced means, while continu-ing to provide the services that Sussex Countians expect. Our general fund revenues are 15 percent below two years, yet the expectations of our residents re-main high.”

The new budget, just as its predecessor did, calls for limited spending in County government in the next year, with the gen-eral fund – the portion that pays for the day-to-day operations of County government – using no appropriated reserves.

However, some line items reduced last year are partially re-stored in the proposed budget as expected revenues in 2010-2011 are forecast to increase. Grants to local fire companies, local law enforcement and the Sussex Con-servation District, for example, have been partially restored.

Meantime, economic devel-

opment is a major focus of the proposed budget. Baker noted the County will embark on more than $35 million in sewer construction projects in the year ahead, thanks to federal ‘stimulus’ dollars that have kept those projects on track. Those projects alone stand to em-ploy nearly 100 people as of July 1 and keep the local economy at work.

The proposed budget includes

no layoffs or mandatory fur-loughs that governments else-where are considering. Also, no reductions in salary or working hours are proposed, and benefits such as dental and vision reim-bursement, vacation, sick leave and holidays, as well as a zero-employee-contribution pension plan, will remain intact.

County Council will hold a public hearing on the proposal

during its 10 a.m. meeting Tues-day, June 22, in council cham-bers at the County Administrative Offices building on The Circle in Georgetown. Council must adopt a budget by June 30.

The coming budget year’s signs of progress notwithstand-ing, the County will continue to look for savings by delaying purchases, limiting new hires and curtailing travel when possible.

“Sussex County is not out of the tunnel yet, so we must keep a watchful eye on our spending, weighing carefully each project and each request before us to ensure our most critical needs are met,” Baker said. “That is re-sponsible budgeting.”

A copy of the budget and budget letter can be downloaded from the County’s website, at www.sussexcountyde.gov.

Tim Fields reflects on high school athletics career at Seaford HighBy Lynn Schofer

The 2010 graduating class will soon end their athletic high school careers. Some will move on to play in college while others will primarily focus on aca-demics. Tim Fields, who will graduate from Seaford High School took some time last week to reflect on his high school ath-letics career as well as his future plans.

In his freshman year Fields ran cross country, winter track and spring track In his sophomore year Fields decided to give football and baseball a try, but was injured. He returned to running cross country and track his junior year, where he excelled and stayed the rest of his high school years.

“Tim is a great young man. He really wants to get better which makes it so easy to coach him,” said Seaford boys’ track coach Art Doakes.

Fields gives his parents much of the credit, “My parents have attended every-thing and I’m very lucky. I couldn’t ask for anything more. They helped me raise the money to go Australia to the “Down and Under Sports” and took me to every college I wanted to visit.”

Coach Doakes agreed, “One of the keys to Tim’s success is the great support Tim has from his parents. They are great people and have been like family to me.”

On the track Fields is very competitive and wants to win every event. Coach Do-

akes said, “Tim is a great role model and leader. He wants to do what is right and expects it from his teammates.”

“Sometimes I let my mouth get in the way because I am so competitive, but I am learning,” said Fields.

Fields looks forward to competing in cross country and track at the college level. He will attend East Stroudsburg in Pennsylvania and major in Education and Social Studies with a minor in Psychol-ogy. Fields wants to return to Delaware and enter the Delaware State Police.

“I have a lot to learn and I have to get used to college and the new coaches” Fields said. “I hope to keep my whole willingness to learn and I must have an open mind because that is the way I will get better.”

Fields said the workouts intensify from 23 miles a week in high school to 50-80 mile weeks in college. “I can’t wait; the whole idea is so exciting,” said Fields, who also knows that school must come first

“I have to put my studies first even when I don’t like it.,” he added. “What is really great about college is that I can practice at any time during the day and don’t have to wait for school to end, there-fore I can work around my studies.”

Tim said his proudest accomplish-ment as a student athlete is convincing his friend, Chris Wilkerson, to join the cross country and track teams.“Chris made first

team all-conference and beat me in cross country.”

Fields is already setting goals for him-self and wants to get his times to improve and make the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference for Student Athletes. “If I can run the times then it will open me up for scholarships,” said Fields.

“Once in a while a coach has the op-portunity to coach that special athlete and have a personal connection. Tim and his family are very special to me and when he ran his last event at the state tournament it was a bittersweet moment. I had to choke back tears,” said Doakes.

Fields added, “Coach is very special to me, he is like a second father. He knew how to push me to be the best I could be.”

Fields said one of his most memorable moments was when he ran against Aaron Betts of Sussex Tech. “We were within a half step of each other and when we crossed the finish line, we thought each other had won. I was so tired because I had competed in three other events that day. It was really cool, we are all such good friends,” said Fields.

DCHS pole vaulters Kayla Burd and Mallorie Parsons receive Division II state cham-pionship second and first place awards respectively.

This week in Star sports history10 YEARS AGO- Seaford’s Nathan Rose placed first in the pole vault and triple

jump at the state track and field meet. The Blue Jays’ Reagan Hastings also won the pole vault in the girls’ competition.

FIVE YEARS AGO- The Sussex Tech boys’ lacrosse team lost to Dover, 18-8, in the first round of the state tournament. Joel Termotto had four goals and Ian Stewart net-ted three goals in the loss.

Seaford’s Keosha Gibbs won the shot put and Woodbridge’s Ross Horsey placed first in the long jump and the 100 at the state track and field meet.

Jenna Allen knocked in the game-winning run as Sussex Tech topped Red Lion, 5-4, in 11 innings in the state softball tournament.

Delmarva Christian pole vaulters place first, second in stateThird-year pole vaulters, Kayla Burd and Mallorie Parsons, both juniors at Delmarva

Christian High School, battled it out against fellow contenders during the state champi-onship meet on Friday, May 14 at Caesar Rodney High School. Parsons jumped into the DCHS history books as she realized a height of 9’6” bringing home a first place Divi-sion II state championship medal.

“The training I’ve received from coach (John) Keevan has definitely played a vital role in what I’ve been able to accomplish today,” said Parsons. “Although I’ve vaulted 10’ in practice, it is coach’s encouragement and perseverance that has brought me to this level in an official event.”

Also competing was 5’1” Kayla Burd. Although small in stature, Burd proved herself to be a mighty force to be reckoned as she vaulted 9’ and placed second in the Division II competition.

“God receives all the glory,” said Burd. “As I took my last turn at nine feet, the bar lifted up, hit the post and miraculously landed back down on the post, my first thought was it was going to fall, but it didn’t. We call it the Jesus jump. It was amazing.”

DCHS Track Coach Janice Curtis witnessed the split-second drama from the side-lines. “Saving the 9’ jump was just one of the many blessings the team received this season,” Curtis said. “We were also blessed to see one of Cape’s pole vaulters cheer our girls after only knowing them a short time while practicing together. It was heartwarm-ing.”

Curtis was referring to a partnership of sorts that Delmarva Christian High School has enjoyed with local public schools. Although DCHS does not have an outdoor pole vault-ing pit, it does have the only indoor pit downstate. During the winter months or when weather prohibits outdoor training, DCHS invites other schools to use their indoor facili-ties. In turn, these other schools, namely Sussex Tech and Cape Henlopen, allow DCHS athletes to practice outdoors at their schools.

The week prior to the state meet, Keevan took his girls to Cape Henlopen High School where the new friendships were made.

By Charlie Brown

Saturday night’s performance by Hal Browning in the “Wings & Things” 20-lap Super Late Model feature was so amaz-ing it is hard to put into words. Browning set the tone in winning his heat turning a phenomenal lap of 16.936 seconds and an average speed of 106.282 miles per hour. The only other cars to go faster at the track have been a select few 410 sprint cars.

In the feature it was like the “on” but-ton had been through on Browning’s car when the green came out. By lap one he was two seconds ahead of the hard charg-ing Amanda Whaley who was running her standard car. David Pettyjohn took over second on lap two as Browning continued to pull away.

On lap five, Whaley tagged the wall coming off the second turn bringing out the yellow and ending her night. Brown-ing was able to rocket away from Pet-tyjohn on the restart and Austin Hubbard took over in second.

As Browning headed off into the sun-set, Pettyjohn regained second and Staci Warrington climbed from ninth to fourth. Pettyjohn’s charge ended on lap nine when he slowed and headed to the pits.

Browning was slicing through lapped traffic by the halfway sign. Warrington got by Hubbard with seven to go but there was no catching Browning who lapped all but the second and third place cars to take the checkered.

“It was fast,” said Browning. “It felt pretty good but I missed my line a couple of times. It was hard to see when I got down to the end of the straightaway.”

It was the first win of the season for the driver of the Race Track Auto/Art Col-lins Trucking/Brian Donley Rocket and Browning received a $500 bonus for the win.

Browning blisters the track in Delaware Wings and Things Late Model win

Warrington turned in her best perfor-mance of the season finishing in second and collecting the $250 bonus. Third went to Hubbard with Bob Geiger fourth and Donald Lingo, Jr. finished in fifth collect-ing the $250 bonus for first stock bodied car. Browning and Whaley won the heats.

Matt Hill led started on the pole and made no mistakes to lead wire to wire in the 15-lap Crate Model feature. Chris Hitchens chased from second until Tyler Reed took over the runner-up spot on lap five.

Hill’s only scare in the race came on the final lap when a lapped car got side-ways in front of his car in the second turn. Hill managed to just scrape by and went on to his first checkered of the year and his second career win in the Lynch’s Tow-ing/Warrior. Reed finished in the second spot with Jack Mullins, who set fast time in qualifying coming from ninth to finish in third. Fourth went to Hitchens and Clint Chalabala rounded out the top five.

Steven Baker led the first three laps of the 12-lap Little Lincoln feature be-fore Mel Joseph, Jr. moved on top. Brian Brasure followed into the second spot and traded paint with Joseph with two to go before taking over the lead. Joseph faded with a flat tire and Brasure went on to his first career win. John Stevenson came on strong in the closing laps to finish in second with Bill Brittingham third. Fourth went to Donald Robinson, Jr. and Ryan Walsen rounded out the top five.

H.J. Bunting gets first win of season in Delaware Big BlocksBy Charlie Brown

Defending NAPA Big Block Modified point champion H.J. Bunting has had a dismal season plagued by small things breaking on his car. On Saturday night at the Delaware International Speedway everything stayed together and this week Bunting was able to hold off Kenny Brightbill for the win.

Tim Trimble looked strong from his pole starting spot as he led the first to laps of the 25-lap Big Block feature. Bunting, who started in fourth, was running second by lap one and took over the top spot for lap three.

Norman Short and Joseph Watson were waging a good battle for the third spot with Watson getting the spot on lap five. With the race staying green Bunting was able to build a full half track lead by the halfway sign.

The first yellow flew on lap 15 erasing Bunting’s lead. Watson had just gotten by Trimble for second when Jamie Mills came to a stop in the second turn. Under the yel-low, Norman Short, who had been running in fourth, headed to the pits.

Kenny Brightbill and Matt Jester were now running fourth and fifth. Brightbill got by Trimble on the restart with Jester following into fourth. With five to go Brightbill edged by Watson for second and Robert Dutton moved into the top five.

The second and final yellow flew with just three to go putting Brightbill on Buntings bumper just as it had happened a week prior. This time Bunting got a good restart and was able to open a two car length advantage to the checkered.

“It’s been a rough year,” said Bunting. “The crew has been working hard but it’s just been little stuff that’s been breaking. It’s not anybody’s fault. It’s just something that you have to put up with and keep coming back every week.” It was the first win of the season for the five time champion in the J&M Roofing/Jake Marine/Teo.

Brightbill turning in another strong performance with his second place finish as Wat-son ended a good drive in third. Fourth went to Jester and Dutton rounded out the top five. Heats were won by Jamie Mills and Jester.

Sixteen year old Kyle Fuller took full advantage of his pole starting spot in the 15-lap AC Delco Modified feature. Fuller lead every lap in the race that was only slow once by a caution.

Scott Baker challenged from second but could not make the winning pass. Fuller made no mistakes as he picked up his first win of the year and his second career victory in the C.W. Matthews Logging/Teo. Baker finished a strong second with Joseph Tracy getting by Shawn Ward on the final lap to finish in third and fourth respectively. West-ley Smith rounded out the top five. Fast time in qualifying was set by Jon Callaway.

Curt Miles Jr. led the first five laps of the caution filled 15-lap Mod Lite feature. Steve White moved on top for lap six. A two car flip occurred on lap nine when Rick Wheatley and Alan Passwaters tangled. No one was injured.

Tim White moved into the second spot but could not mount a challenge on Steve White who posted his third win of the season in the Northeast Heating & Air/Lightning. Tim White settled for second with Brandon Dennis coming from the rear of the field to finish in third. Fourth went to Miles, Jr. and Kevin McKinney rounded out the top five. Fast time in qualifying was set by Tyler Reed.

A view from the cheap seatsBy Mike McClure, Star Sports Editor

The Delmar High School football team has found a way to thank the com-munity for its support over the years. Around 25-40 players recently scattered across town to assist senior citizens with their yard work.

According to senior Spencer Fother-gill, the idea came from teacher Christy Parsons. Fothergill, who along with classmate Scott Kunkowski, will be at-tending McDaniel College and playing football for the Division III school next fall, said the project was a way to give back to community members.

Many of the senior citizens are alum-ni or had children who went through the Delmar school system. The players did yard work, power washing, gutter clean-ing, and minor outdoor repairs, much to the delight of the town’s citizens.

Delmar head coach and athletic Da-vid Hearn called the project a great idea, one that he’d like to see the school’s athletes continue on a regular basis.

Spring playoffs- So far our local schools have not fared well with making the state playoffs. Sussex Tech was the only team with Western Sussex players

to make the baseball tournament. There are no local teams in the girls’

soccer, boys’ lacrosse, or girls’ lacrosse tournaments (the softball schedule had not been announced prior to the Star’s deadline).

The Sussex Tech girls’ lacrosse team, in its third year as a program, fell just short of making the eight team tourna-ment. The Ravens (9-6) finished in a tie for ninth in the state rankings, one game behind Middletown (#7) and Archmere (#8). Cape Henlopen (#1) is the only downstate team in the tourney.

Of the individual state tournaments, the track and field state tournament and meet of champions have already taken place, the tennis tournaments are in progress, and the golf tournament is pending.

Quick hits- In looking up the results from the meet of champions I came across two track and field records that are held by Seaford athletes. Tisha Mil-ligan set the mark in the girls’ high jump (5’ 8 1/4”) in 1989 while Keosha Gibbs set the record in the girls’ shot put (44’ 7 1/2“) in 2005.

TOURNEY CHAMPS- Shown is the Diamond State Blue 14U softball team which placed first in a tournament in Chesapeake, Va. May 15-16. The team has placed first in three of its four tournaments and came in second in the other tourney. The coaches are Jay Davis, Steve Cox, Jamie Joseph, and Jodi Green.

Sussex Tech softball team tops Hodgson, falls to SmyrnaThe Sussex Tech varsity softball team defeated Hodgson and fell to Smyrna in its

final games of the regular season last week.The Ravens scored one in the second inning and three in the fourth for a 4-0 non-

conference win over Hodgson. Cassidy Taylor went 2-3 with a double; Melissa Trout doubled and drove in two runs; Taylor Price singled in a run; Lauren Smith scored two runs; and Kim Smith tossed a three-hit shutout with 10 strikeouts for Sussex Tech (11-6).

Sussex Tech fell to 9-4 in the Henlopen Conference and 11-7 overall with a 2-1 loss to Smyrna on Saturday. Logan Pavlik had two hits and an RBI and Smith al-lowed two runs on three hits.

Ravens rally in sixth inning to top Panthers in state baseball tourneyBy Mike McClure

The Sussex Tech varsity baseball team advanced to the second round of the state tournament for the second year in a row with a 3-1 home win over Polytech on Turesday.

The Ravens will once against face Middletown (Thursday at Caesar Rodney) with the winner advancing to the semifi-nals.

Polytech got on the board first in the top of the first inning thanks to a hit bat-ter, sac bunt, and a seeing eye single that took a funny hop over second base (1-0). It would be the only hit the Panthers would get against Sussex Tech starter James Smith.

Raven first baseman Sam Grahovac got his team’s first hit off of Polytech pitcher Matt McLain in the bottom of the third.

After Smith sent the Panthers down in order in the top of the fourth, the Ravens got on the board in the bottom of the in-ning. Eric Sharff hit a two-out single, courtesy runner Nathan Jones went to second on an errant pickoff throw, moved to third on a single by Scott Smart, and scored on another errant throw by McLain to knot the score at 1-1.

Sussex Tech’s Kyle Mister hit a two-out double in the bottom of the fifth in-ning, but was left in scoring position. After Smith worked a 1-2-3 sixth inning with a pair of strikeouts, the Ravens’ bats went to work.

Smith led off the bottom of the sixth with a double, moved to third on a single by Sharff, and scored on a sac fly by Smart. Denton Mow added an RBI single to plate Jones, who once again ran for the

Smith recorded two strikeouts, fielded a comebacker and threw to Grahovac to seal the Raven win.

Sharff went 2-3, Mow and Smart each had a hit and an RBI; Mister doubled; and Smith had a double and a run at the plate

and allowed one run on one hit and four walks and struck out nine in the complete game win.

“He’s a competitor. He’s got great off speed stuff, he keeps people off bal-anced,” Sussex Tech head coach Tom

Pegelow said of Smith.The winner of Thursday’s game will

move on to the semifinals at Frawley Sta-dium on Saturday. The championship will also take place at the home of the Wilm-ington Blue Rocks, on Tuesday, June 1.

Summer visitors to Sussex County and residents will be pleased to see the progress being made by the Delaware Depart-ment of Transportation (DelDOT) and Skanska USA Civil South-east, Inc. (Skanska) on the new Indian River Inlet Bridge.

Project updateThe project is approximately

50% complete. The concrete decks of the bridge are underway and precast floor beams are all being put in place. The bulb T girders have begun arriving on site for the approach spans, the foundation columns and piers are being completed, and the four py-lon towers will be reaching their completed height of 249 feet dur-ing June.

Also this summer, bridge builders will construct the form traveler, a 200 ton device that

will allow the construction of the bridge over the inlet. Likewise, back span and main span con-struction will continue and the stay cable erection process will begin. The project is expected to be completed in late spring/early summer 2011.

During the summer months, motorists are urged to take note of the 35 mph speed limit through the construction work zone. Pedestrians will move through the area as they have been since the beginning of con-struction, via the posted detour pedestrian route. During the summer, cyclists will utilize the shoulder of Route 1, including the existing shoulder over the ex-isting bridge.

In early September, the Road-way Approach Contract will begin, which will build the ap-

proaches and connect them to the new bridge approach spans. This work will require lane shifts and speed restrictions for motor-ists traveling on Route 1/existing Indian River Inlet Bridge. After Labor Day, traffic restrictions will be put in place which will require motorists to use Route 1 northbound with one lane trav-eling in each direction. Route

1 southbound will be open to cyclists only. At this time, pe-destrians will continue to use the pedestrian detour route outlined above.

Learn about constructionBeginning Memorial Day

weekend in Rehoboth, you can find project information boards and newsletters at the Visitor’s Center at 501 Rehoboth Ave.,

and in the Bethany-Fenwick Area, information will be avail-able at the Chamber Office located at 36913 Coastal Hwy., Fenwick Island.

Photographs and updated in-formation are posted periodically on the multi-media link of the bridge building website, www.irib.deldot.gov.

Pam Vanderwende and students representing the Phillis Wheatley Middle School’s Conser-vation Club accept the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce’s “Superstars in Education” award for their work on behalf of the Woodbridge School District and local community. Along with a trophy and banner, the group received a $2,500 grant to help fund future projects.

State Chamber recognizes club By Cathy Shufelt

Students, staff and teachers recently recognized members of the Phillis Wheat-ley Middle School (PWMS) “Conservation Club” as they received the “Superstars in Education” award presented by the Dela-ware State Chamber of Commerce.

Since 1989, the “Superstars in Educa-tion” program has honored Delaware educators who have implemented and sus-tained creative, unique programs, or teach-ing practices that show measurable results and raise student achievement. This year, the program awarded seven “Superstars” program trophies and two special recogni-tion awards to educators across Delaware.

“Being one of only seven winners in the state is a huge honor,” said Pamela Vanderwende, founder and faculty advi-sor of the school’s Conservation Club. Vanderwende teaches science at PWMS, and started the club four years ago. The club now has over 100 student members.

Jim Wolfe and Janine Sorbello of the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce presented the group with a trophy and a check for $2,500 to help fund future proj-ects the group hopes to undertake.

To date, the group has completed sev-

eral projects for the Woodbridge School District, including seven gardens, Koi pond, raised organic vegetable beds, and installing new plants in the large planters in downtown Bridgeville, among others.

The Conservation Club helps educate students about environmental issues, con-servation, wetlands maintenance, as well as native flora and fauna. A short video showcasing the hard work of the Conser-vation Club’s students was shown and then students at the assembly were asked questions about the video with several students winning school t-shirts. Members of the Conservation Club are now working on securing funding for a “Reading Gar-den” at the new Bridgeville Public Library by participating in the Pepsi Refresh Grant Challenge. The group is hoping to win the $25,000 grant to help pay for the Reading Garden. To vote for the Phillis Wheatley Middle School Conservation Club’s proj-ect, go to: www.refresheverything.com/pwmscclub and vote for the project to win. You can vote once a day during the month of May. You may have to sign up to be-come a member before the site will allow you to vote. Pepsi will not send anything to your email address unless you check the boxes for updates.

Seaford woman donates quilts Children in the Division of Public

Health’s (DPH) Child Development Watch (CDW) Program get some extra warmth and support from Seaford resident Jane Medford who has created more than 100 quilts for CDW kids at no charge with love in every stitch.

Mrs. Medford was honored with a brunch at CDW in Milford on Friday, May 21. Some of her quilts were on display.

“I’ve always had a heart for children,” Mrs. Medford said. “When they’re sick or unwell, it’s so sad. If everybody does something, no matter how small, it adds up.”

Dr. Carol Owens of CDW recalls a spe-cial colorful quilt made by Mrs. Medford to visually stimulate a small child with visual issues, and three matching quilts in different colors for a set of triplets.

“The quilts are a way of giving comfort to families who are in the midst of some

really tough and uncomfortable situa-tions,” explained Dr. Owens. “Some of the families we see don’t have a lot to start with. The quilt is something warm they can keep with them, a reminder that some-one cares. It’s theirs to keep.”

Also honored at the brunch was Robin Fantyl from the DPH Kids Kare Program. Fantyl promotes the Cribs for Kids pro-gram, which enables families with no resources to provide safe sleeping arrange-ments for their children.

CDW is the statewide early interven-tion program for children ages birth to 3. The program’s mission is to enhance the development of infants and toddlers with disabilities or developmental delays and to enhance the capacity of their families to meet the needs of their young children. Mild to severe developmental delays are fully supported through this program, giv-ing families a much needed resource.

Blades welcomes police officersBy Cathy Shufelt

Blades Town Council members and the Blades Police Department were pleased to welcome the two newest members of the Blades Police Department during the town council’s May meeting. New police officers Dustin Hamilton and Ryan Wright were sworn in during the May 10th meet-ing. The new officers will continue their field training and will be seen on patrol in the town of Blades along with Chief Cooke and one part-time officer.

Councilman B.J. Hardin reported that the owners of what is called the “Putnam property” located behind town hall on River Road have appointed a new manager for the “Blades Common” project. Despite continuing negotiations regarding water wells and public works, work to clean up the property should begin shortly.

Mayor Michael Smith told residents attending the meeting that there will be no spring clean up day up this year due to budget cuts making it necessary for the town to use that money to fill in budget gaps. With more state budget cuts ex-

pected, Mayor Smith told residents that the town may lose even more money from its already tight budget, “We may have another big hole in the budget,” said Smith. However, the town did find out that DELDOT has money set aside for paving projects in the town. Money has been set aside to pave Market Street (Route 13A) that runs through Blades.

Several residents voiced their outrage and concern over a property in Blades where alleged criminal activity is taking place. Several homeowners living next to and on the same street as the property asked town officials what could be done to alleviate the problems they feel are gener-ated by residents living on the property. A number of residents spoke about the crimi-nal activity in the neighborhood, as well as the seemingly obvious housing code and permit violations that are ongoing at the property. Council members along with Police Chief Cooke assured residents that the police department and the town’s Code Enforcement Officer are aware of the situation, and asked residents to continue reporting any criminal activity.

Page by PageNews from the Seaford Library and Cultural Center

By Anne Nesbitt

“Doing more with less” are the words used by Anna Norman, director of the Delaware Division of Libraries, when explaining the existence of the Floating Collection in the 46 participating librar-ies in the division.

Norman states that this system was started during the Great Depression when local libraries were short of funds. The state sent a specified number of books to each local library for its Float-ing Collection. In the final analysis, these books belong to the Delaware Di-vision of Libraries instead of a particular library.

The Seaford Library and Cultural Center is proud to call attention to its Floating Collection. It is located next to

the new books display on the south wall of the adult section. Approximately 50 books are included covering a multitude of subjects. Some are literary classics. Some cover information on air and space, some in the medical field. Even books on parenting are there.

The unique feature of this collection is that if one of the books is checked out in Seaford, it can be returned to any library in the State System and it then remains there. Interestingly enough, the practice seems to balance itself out with about the same number of Floating Col-lection books at each library remaining constant even though the books may be returned to and kept at any library in the system.

Operation We Care takes place twice a year, centered around Armed Forces Day and Veterans Day.

Operation We Care helps our soldiers

Delmarva reached out recently and gave the equivalent of a warm hug to our resi-dents who are away serving our country.

Operation We Care, a project spear-headed by the Eastern Shore HOG Chap-ter, packed up 226 care packages to be sent to area military personnel serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.

More than 80 volunteers - many of them family members of loved ones either currently or formerly on the mailing list, filled Powellville’s Fire Hall to carefully pack donations collected from Easton, Md. to Chincoteague, Va. and all points in be-tween.

Collection points such as Minuteman Press in Salisbury, Md., Harley-Davidson of Ocean City, Md., Mr. Baldy’s Restau-rant in Chincoteague, Va., Maggie’s of Snow Hill, Md. and Clear Channel Com-munications in Salisbury funneled the sup-port from Delmarva to the volunteers who stuffed boxes with thanks, love and good-ies from home.

Working through the Ocean City Post Office on 71st Street, the more than 200 packages will be shipped halfway around the world using the USPS’s flat-rate mili-tary boxes at $12.50 each. All monetary donations to Operation We Care are spent on shipping costs. Donations come from private individuals, family members and civic groups such as the Ocean City Lodge 10 of the Fraternal Order of Police. The FOP, many of whom are veterans, donated $2,400 to help get the boxes to the men and women in the field.

Each package contained at least one box of Girl Scout cookies, donated by the Chesapeake Bay Girl Scout Council. Members of Troop 688 decorated all 226 boxes with hand-drawn artwork and mes-sages of support before they were packed.

Operation We Care takes place twice a year, centered around Armed Forces Day and Veterans Day. All focus now turns to the Nov. 14th ‘packing party’ which will get more packages to the troops in time for the holidays.

A list of suggested donations is avail-able at www.easternshorehog.com and

donations are accepted year-round. If you know a local member of our military who is deployed or is soon to be deployed, contact Jeff Merritt, coordinator of Opera-tion We Care, at 410-713-8940 or jemer-ritt314@yahoo.com.

Just say noAs a resident of Porter Street, you

would think I was lucky to live just two doors from the library when it was open. Not true. Unfortunately, as a neighbor-hood, we had many problems and issues resulting from the volume and caliber of people using the library.

Issues included: Increased crime; group loitering after hours; loud cursing and swearing; illegal actions in the courtyard bushes; street parking problems; blocked driveways; increased traffic; large volume of foot traffic; excessive littering; graffiti; disrespect for our properties; and aggres-sive teenagers ringing doorbells asking for money.

In November, we finally got our neigh-borhood back only to be informed by the city that the Salvation Army wants a vari-ance to open an outreach center. On the surface it sounds wonderful and we are all in support of the Salvation Army’s efforts. Now, here’s the negative side regarding this issue - this is a middle class residential neighborhood and we don’t have a need for an outreach center in this neighborhood that will include a crisis relief counsel-ing center, food pantry, child care, church programs, youth groups, adult fellowship, education programs and be open seven

days a week. At least when the library was here we had a reprieve on Sundays when the library was closed.

The Salvation Army is trying to get the variance approved under the guise of a church, which we all know will be less of a church and more for people not living in our neighborhood. Most of the people this is intended to help will have to be bused in. Once again we will have park-ing issues, increased foot traffic, a rise in crime, delivery trucks and vans coming and going, and attract a lot of undesirables and much more. There is no benefit to our neighborhood. Also, as a neighborhood we are all concerned about devalued property.

My neighbor has done research and uncovered 25 plus other properties the Salvation Army can review that are not in a middle class residential neighborhood. They are in a commercial setting.

If you are against this and/or are inter-ested in more detailed information, call 302-841-3525. The hearing will be held at Seaford City Hall on Wednesday, June 2, at the inconvenient time of noon. Please plan on attending.

Illegal immigration out of controlWhat folly is this? A foreign president

stands in our nation’s capitol and declares that one of our sovereign states is com-mitting racial profiling against HIS people by creating a “new” law (one less strident than both the current federal law and the Constitution) and our president agrees with him while members of Congress stand up and cheer.

Is this a Hollywood movie? It is worth noting that in this foreign presidents’ coun-try (Mexico) being illegal is a felony with mandatory jail time, while in our country it is a misdemeanor.

At the base of President Calderones’ agenda is protection of the $1 billion a year revenue stream flowing into Mexico from the employment of illegal immigrants in the U.S. Why doesn’t our federal gov-ernment get this? Every other civilized country in the world does.

On the same day, mothers of three U.S. youths, “who accidently stumbled” across the Iranian border nearly a year ago, were granted the right to see them for the first time. They were required to do so dressed in burquas. Nary a word was said of this.

Who, I ask, are these people that we elected to represent us, that they do not understand, respect and recognize private property, boundaries and borders? Ask reporters Lisa Ling and Euna Lee (who worked for Al Gore) if they learned these

concepts when they “accidently” crossed into North Korea last year.

Our founding fathers cherished property ownership and believed that securing our national borders (our private property in the utmost) was a primary concern. Every United States elected official takes an oath of office, promising to do just one thing - protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

Job number one is securing our national borders. In this respect, both the Federal Government and the Supreme Court (see Kelo vs. Connecticut regarding eminent domain) have failed the American people mightily. The Department of Homeland Security now insists it is necessary to “take” five acres of a Vermont Dairy own-ers’ property to construct a new border crossing operation (between the U.S. and Canada).

They state the current one is “dilapi-dated” and doing so, will “strengthen na-tional security and further the goals of the national recovery act.” They have offered the farmer $39,500 for his five acres of land or will use eminent domain to obtain the property.

This is a crossing that presently sees approximately 40 vehicles a day. Am I to believe that we are more concerned about Canadian illegal entry? I don’t see our president pandering to the Canadian presi-dent.

Just how ridiculous will we get with this issue? Amnesty has been tried before. To do it now would cause the U.S. to incur a major financial drain, deeming as eligible some 12-15 million individuals for every entitlement program we offer, out-weighing any estimated benefits.

There must be a legal path to citizen-ship, including fines and penalties. Mili-tary service for those able and willing to commit could be beneficial both ways. I am not faulting only this administration but they have taken hypocrisy to new heights.

Several things can and should be done to rectify this situation. First, secure and fortify the borders. Stop the flow. Second, enforce fines and penalties for failure to comply. Third, repeal the fourteenth amendment. Anyone who has read and understands the “birthright citizenship” amendment knows it was never created for illegal aliens.

These are common sense solutions. Please speak up and speak out. Use your vote wisely in November. “Hope and change” need to be preceded with the words “intelligent and informed.”

Threat to our way of life is national debtBy Shaun Rieley

On Memorial Day, Americans remem-ber those who have paid the ultimate price for freedom. Through the years there have been many enemies who wanted to destroy the great experiment known as the United States of America.

But today there lurks a new kind of en-emy. This enemy does not carry guns or bombs. It is a silent killer of nations. This enemy is debt. As debt has enslaved many individuals, it also causes nations to lose control of their destiny. Our national debt is out of control and is growing every day, further threatening to destroy the country that veterans like myself have served, and for which many have made the ultimate sacrifice.

Are we going to stand by and let the entrenched powers in Washington spend away the nation that these men and wom-an have sacrificed so much for? Have we defeated imperialism, Nazism, and Communism, and do we continue to fight terrorism only to succumb to the crushing weight of debt?

This Memorial Day, I am supporting Glen Urquhart for congress. By doing so, I remain in the fight for my country which began on the battlefields of Iraq, and continues on the battlefield of the po-litical arena. As sure as Islamic terrorism threatens to destroy our country from the outside, debt can, and will, erode our sov-ereignty and lead to collapse from within, rendering the sacrifice of those we honor on Memorial Day in vain.

Glen Urquhart understands this, and will work to reduce the national debt, shrink the size of government, cut taxes, and like our brave veterans, defend liberty for all Americans.

Glen Urquhart is a candidate for the United States House of Representatives. A business entrepreneur who lives in Re-hoboth Beach, Glen is a Reagan Repub-lican who leads from a core of traditional family values, and a love for his country.

I encourage all who wish to honor the sacrifices of our veterans and fight for a bright future for our country to consider

joining me in supporting Glen Urquhart for Congress. For more information on Glen Urquhart go to www.Glen4Liberty.com.

Of course that would be on top of your first mortgage payment. Add the two to-gether and you see the enormity of the debt problem.

And it’s not getting better. The spend-ing is not slowing down.
