Laurel School Board hears from public about Dr. McCoyBy Mike McClure

The Laurel School Board addressed the district’s accountability status dur-ing last Wednesday’s meeting. The Board also heard from more members in the public, most of whom spoke in support of Superintendent Dr. John McCoy.

First on the agenda was the board’s response to the district’s account-ability rating. “It’s the board’s desire to increase the awareness of what the accountability situation is here at Laurel,” said School Board President Lois Hartstein.

The Laurel School District is one

of eight districts under improvement based on last year’s state testing. Only one district received a superior rating, there were no commendable districts, and 10 are under academic review and could go under improvement if they don’t meet state standards this year. Laurel, which is in year two under improvement, could move to academic watch if it does not meet Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) standards this year.

According to Laurel administra-tors Sandy Baker and Gail Fowler, the district is taking the following steps to meet AYP: employing six teach-

ers above the unit count with grant funds, receiving Title 1 funds for math intervention teachers, implementing an inclement weather bus (Dec. 6-April 21) to help attendance, improving posi-tive behavior supports in all schools, and getting grants for technology in the classrooms.

The district is also revising its Race to the Top grant, realigning the K-12 curriculum, building 21st century schools, and implementing problem base mathematics programs.

As for how the community can help students improve on the tests,

People can now weatherize their homes and be rewarded for their efforts.

According to the Internal Rev-enue Service, homeowners mak-ing energy-saving improvements this fall can cut their winter heat-ing bills and lower their 2010 tax bill as well.

Last year’s Recovery Act expanded two home energy tax credits: the nonbusiness energy property credit and the residential energy efficient property credit.

Nonbusiness Energy Property Credit

This credit equals 30 percent of what a homeowner spends on eligible energy-saving improve-ments, up to a maximum tax credit of $1,500 for the combined 2009 and 2010 tax years.

The cost of certain high-efficiency heating and air con-ditioning systems, water heaters and stoves that burn biomass all qualify, along with labor costs for installing these items. In addi-tion, the cost of energy-efficient windows and skylights, energy-efficient doors, qualifying insula-tion and certain roofs also qualify for the credit, though the cost of installing these items does not

count.By spending as little as $5,000

before the end of the year on eligible energy-saving improve-ments, a homeowner can save as much as $1,500 on his or her 2010 federal income tax return.

Due to limits based on tax li-ability, amounts spent on eligible energy-saving improvements in 2009, other credits claimed by a particular taxpayer and other fac-tors, actual tax savings will vary. These tax savings are on top of any energy savings that may re-sult.

Residential Energy Efficient Property Credit

Homeowners going green should also check out a second tax credit designed to spur invest-ment in alternative energy equip-ment.

The residential energy ef-ficient property credit equals 30 percent of what a homeowner spends on qualifying property such as solar electric systems, so-lar hot water heaters, geothermal heat pumps, wind turbines, and fuel cell property.

Generally, labor costs are in-cluded when figuring this credit. Also, except for fuel cell prop-

erty, no cap exists on the amount of credit available.

Not all energy-efficient im-provements qualify for these tax credits. For that reason, hom-eowners should check the manu-facturer’s tax credit certification statement before purchasing or installing any of these improve-ments.

The certification statement can usually be found on the manu-

facturer’s website or with the product packaging. Normally, a homeowner can rely on this cer-tification.

The IRS cautions that the manufacturer’s certification is different from the Department of Energy’s Energy Star label, and not all Energy Star labeled prod-ucts qualify for the tax credits.

Eligible homeowners can claim both of these credits when

they file their 2010 federal in-come tax return. Because these are credits, not deductions, they increase a taxpayer’s refund or reduce the tax owed.

An eligible taxpayer can claim these credits, regardless of wheth-er he or she itemizes deductions on Schedule A.

Use Form 5695, Residential Energy Credits, to figure and claim these credits.

Nanticoke Health Services welcomes Dr. Nguyen

Nanticoke Health Services welcomes Hang Nguyen, DO to the Nanticoke Physician Network.

Dr. Nguyen special-izes in family medicine and joins the Nanti-coke Fam-ily Practice Center at 1320 Middleford Rd., Suite 202, Seaford. The practice is accepting new patients.

Dr. Nguyen completed her residency in Osteopathic and Family Medicine at The Read-ing Hospital & Medical Center, Pennsylvania. Before joining Nanticoke Health Services, Dr. Nguyen worked as family medi-cine clinician and also served as clinical director at Franktown Community Health Center, Vir-ginia. She is a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians and is fluent in Viet-namese.

Community mentorsThe Kids Connection Men-

toring Program seeks adult vol-unteers who would like to make a difference in their Seaford & Laurel communities by being a

mentor to a middle school-aged child or a young mother-to-be. Mentors and students meet one hour per week, either at their school or the public library.

Mentors are asked for a 1 hour per week commitment for 12 months. Training and background checks are free, and volunteers are provided with professional support and en-couragement by dedicated staff. This holiday season, give the gift of your time.

Democrats keep leadersMembers of the Senate Dem-

ocratic caucus recently voted to keep their current leadership team in place.

During their caucus session, members voted to return Sen-ate President Pro Tem Anthony DeLuca, D-Varlano, Senate Ma-jority Leader Patricia Blevins, D-Elsmere, and Senate Majority Whip Margaret Rose Henry, D-Wilmington East, when the General Assembly returns in January. Democrats will hold a 14-7 majority when the General Assembly reconvenes.

While Blevins and Henry as-sumed their posts immediately upon the caucus vote, DeLuca must be voted in as president pro tem by the full Senate when it meets in January, but that vote is usually considered a formality.

Quillen family delights children with Santa’s HouseBy Lynn R. Parks

Sharon Quillen was born on Halloween. Because of that, she said, she has always loved to dress up in costume.

But one day a year wasn’t enough. Sev-eral years ago, she decided to expand her costume season and dress up as Mrs. Claus for Christmas. Her husband, Charles, joined in the fun and dressed up as Santa.

“I thought it would be fun,” said Quillen, 52, of between Bridgeville and Georgetown. “We invited friends and family over and everybody loved it and wanted us to keep doing it.”

That was in 2004. This year, she and Charles will once again welcome the pub-lic to Santa’s House, to talk with Santa and Mrs. Claus and enjoy the thousands of holiday lights and refreshments.

Visitors will also be welcome to feed the herd of reindeer that the Quillens keep in their back yard. The reindeer, the oldest of which used to live on the grounds of Woodbridge Elementary School in Green-wood, range in age from just a few months to several years.

“I think that the reindeer are why so many people like it here,” Quillen said. “It seems real here, because of them.”

Quillen said that every year, more and more people visit the display. While she doesn’t have an exact count, she said, she feels sure that hundreds, maybe even thou-sands, of people were there last year. The

only cost is for parents who want to have a picture of their children with Mr. and Mrs. Claus.

This year, for the first time, the Quil-lens are asking people who attend to bring canned goods and new or gently-used toys and clothes to donate to those in need. “Because of the economy being so bad, we wanted to do something to help kids in the area,” Sharon Quillen said.

“There are a lot of families in need,” added Charles Quillen in a letter to the community. “This economy has robbed parents of their dreams for their children. And for some parents it has robbed them of their dignity.”

Sharon Quillen said that she is not sure how the donated goods will be distributed. People who know of a family in need can e-mail information to the Quillens at saint-nicksmail@comcast.net. It may be, she added, that she turns to area churches and charitable organizations for help in getting the toys and clothes to people who need them.

The Quillens start decorating their house and yard in September. Nearly all of their seven and a half acres are decorated, Sharon Quillen said, including the Quil-lens’ house and two rental houses on the property. Santa’s house is also hung with lights.

New this year will be two more houses, one for the donations people bring to Santa’s House and the other for refresh-

ments. Also new will be an arch over the entrance to the yard. The archway, deco-rated in lights, will read, “The Magic of Christmas.”

“My mom is always talking about how she loves the magic of Christmas,” said Ju-lie Lecates, Bridgeville, Sharon Quillen’s daughter. Lecates and her sister, Katie Sullivan, Georgetown, dress as Raggedy

Ann to help their mother and stepfather. Lecates’ children, Tiffany Webb, Monica Porter, Patience Lecates and Cameron Porter, dress as elves, as does Daryan Carr, Lecates’ stepson. Quillen’s neighbor Tim Jester helps to put up the decorations.

Sharon Quillen said that despite all the work involved, she is looking forward to

“We all know parents are out student first and most important teachers,” Baker said. “Encourage your child to do their best on the test.”

Baker also suggested that parents should attend school events, make sure their children attend school regularly and on time, take advantage of after school academic programs, volunteer, and help with the planning of the new schools.

But the large on crowd on hand at last week’s meeting was there to voice con-tinued support for McCoy. The district will vote on administrator contracts at the December board meeting.

“What you do is very important. Each one of you is very important to this town as is Superintendent John McCoy,” said Laurel Town Council President and Laurel resident Terry Wright. “Is this a wise time to even consider a new superintendent when we have the best superintendent

we’ve had since the 1980’s?Lifelong resident Chad Miller presented

the Board with a petition with 450 signa-tures in support of McCoy.

“His job is to run the school district. It should not be micromanaged by the school board,” Donna Reed said.

“We have a graveyard in Laurel that buries this kind of stuff (Bill Hitch’s embezzlement) and this time it didn’t get buried,” said Betty Lecate, who joined other residents in praising McCoy for dis-covering the embezzlement and exposing it.

“He’s not just in Laurel, he’s where they (students) are,” Bonnie Bly Elliott said of McCoy, who she said is the first superintendent she has seen at any school function.

Editor’s note: A recent ad in the Laurel Star, sponsored by the Friends of Dr. John McCoy, had the wrong phone number for Board member Dot Hickman. The correct number is 258-6799.

Allen’s employees benefit from area realtor programMaria Flores learned on Wednesday,

Nov. 10, that what she thought was just a pipe dream could one day soon become reality – walking through the front door of her very own home may not be such a far-fetched idea after all.

“I learned today that there are classes and programs that, in the long run, could help me to purchase my own home,” says Flores, a 36-year-old mother of five. “I re-ally appreciate the opportunity to come to a class like this and learn how I can one day do that.”

Flores and more than 20 other employ-ees of Allen’s Family Foods in Harbeson attended the hour-long class on Nov. 10. The gathering provided the poultry plant’s employees with tools that could one day help them purchase their own slice of the American dream.

The class was organized and run by members of the Sussex County Associa-tion of Realtors (SCAOR), which is part-nering with local employers to tackle many of the hurdles prospective homeowners face when searching for their first home.

Dubbed Employer Assisted Housing, or EAH, the program enables employees to purchase a home, often in neighborhoods near their workplace.

“We feel, in the long term, that having happy employees who are satisfied with the quality of their lives will benefit the company,” says Fred Downs, Allen’s man-ager of human resources. “We’re trying to be the employer of choice and we feel this is one small way that we can help our

employees.”Allen’s Family Foods is one of the first

Sussex County businesses to come on board with the project, a local version of a National Association of Realtors’ out-reach effort. The program is coordinated by SCAOR’s Housing Opportunity Partner (HOP) committee and funded through a grant from the National Association of Realtors.

Other Sussex County employers are expected to begin participating in the pro-gram soon.

“We had an excellent turnout and we’re very thankful that Allen’s allowed us to come in and do this presentation on-site,” says Betty Lewis Kasperski, the chair-man of SCAOR’s HOP committee and a realtor with Del-Mar-Va Real Estate. “It was more enthusiastic than I anticipated. People are really looking to achieve ho-meownership; that is still the American dream.”

So more of Allen’s Spanish-speaking employees could participate in the pro-gram, SCAOR asked local pastor and His-panic activist Israel Figueroa to give them an extra helping hand.

Once an employee of the Sussex Coun-ty poultry industry himself, Figueroa says the benefits of this new program could be far-reaching throughout Delaware’s south-ernmost county.

“Having a program like this is just a fantastic idea,” says Figueroa, pastor of Iglesia de Dios Maranatha near Seaford. “This is a way where they can save their

money, trust in what they are doing and have their dreams of having a home of their own come true one day.”

To Flores, and hard-working people like her, that’s exactly what she desires – the tools to one day purchase a place of her own, a place to raise her children and be free of a $900 a month rent payment that is essentially paying someone else’s

mortgage.Says Flores, “I’ll do whatever I can to

make sure that my kids can have a decent home.”

For more information about how your business can utilize SCAOR’s Employer Assisted Housing program, contact Tracy Lee Elmore at 855-2300, ext. 205, or tra-cylee@scaor.com.

Grace Bolden-Wilson, a housing counselor with First State Community Action Agency, explains some of the programs available through her organization during an event at Al-len’s Family Foods.

Southern States annual meetingThe eighty-eighth annual stockholder’s

meeting of Southern States Cooperative was held on Nov. 17, at the cooperative’s Richmond, Va. headquarters. Members of Southern States’ Board of Directors, stock-holders and guests were given an overview of the cooperative’s performance during fiscal 2010, which ended in June.

President and Chief Executive Officer Thomas R. Scribner reported total sales of $1.69 billion for the year with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of $39.4 million. A decline in gross margins over 2009 was largely offset by savings in operating expenses of just over $7.3 million.

By James Diehl

Once a week, usually on a Monday or a Tuesday, a man with brightly colored clothing, a larger than life smile and hair that simply speaks for itself walks through the doors of the Stockley Center near Millsboro.

By the time he leaves a few hours later, he’s made quite the impression – the world just seems a little brighter after spinning records, belting a few tunes and basically just brightening the day for dozens of good hearted people.

His given name may be Phillip, but these people, his “family,” know him sim-ply as “Sky.”

“I’m a very religious person and I feel that God kind of guides you in the direc-tion he wants you to go in your life,” says Sky Brady, a long-time disc jockey and entertainer, both in his native Philadelphia and, for the last 18 years, in Sussex Coun-ty. “I’ve always felt that my direction has been to help people who are less fortunate than me. I do that with what I know, and that’s music.”

Brady grew up in Philadelphia, but he also spent some of his childhood in Ne-vada after his parents divorced. It’s those early days in the desert that not only ce-mented his interest in helping the mentally challenged, but it also provided the origins of his unique name.

As is often the case with teenage boys, it was all about a girl.

“We were out in the desert one night and a girl told me that I had sky blue eyes, so that’s how it happened. But I do like to mess around sometimes and tell people that I was born on an airplane or some-thing like that,” says Brady with a chuckle. “Then when I started playing in a band in the early 1970s, it was a good name so I just kept it.”

Brady has become very well known throughout Sussex County in recent years, today boasting more than 200 shows and appearances annually. But it’s the one day a week he visits the Stockley Center that means the most.

The desk of his Georgetown-area home is adorned with photos that residents of Stockley have given him over the years. He’s even seen many residents and friends during their final moments of life.

They are, in his words, his family. And listening to him talk about them, there’s no

questioning his commitment to their well-being – by simply playing a few songs once a week.

“I really get a lot out of going there,” he says. “I always feel like a million dollars when I leave, no matter how I felt when I walked in. It’s really amazing.”

Now 57-years-old, Brady says he is the happiest he’s ever been in his life. He may not live in a fancy home, or drive the new-est or most expensive car on the market, but he’s doing what he loves and making a difference in the lives of people less for-tunate.

He wouldn’t change a thing. “I’m just enjoying life a lot more now than when I was younger,” he says.

Growing up, Brady was largely influ-enced by his grandmother, a woman who seemed almost saintly to him. He’s tried to emulate her actions throughout his life by doing the right thing and making a differ-ence whenever possible.

Sometimes, it’s just being there for someone that can make all the difference in the world.

“My grandmother had a heart as big as Texas; she would do anything for any-body,” says Brady. “I think that rubbed off on me a little bit. If I saw somebody who needed something, it always meant more to me to help them rather than going out and buying a new Cadillac or something like that. I’ve just always kind of been drawn to people in need.”

Brady has met scores of patients and staff of the Stockley Center during the 17 years he’s been making regular appearanc-es there. All have been special, but some more memorable than others.

Like the man who would almost always turn Brady’s solo show into a duet, each and every week.

“This fellow would always come up on stage with me and play the guitar,” Brady

remembers. “It got to the point where I started making a big fuss over him and he would just light up like a Christmas tree. I’d play a couple of songs and he’d wear his cowboy boots and we’d just have a good time.”

This fellow artist passed away a few years ago, but Brady was allowed to visit him in his final moments, just to say “goodbye.” It wasn’t his first such visit and likely won’t be his last.

Sky Brady was named a Jefferson Award winner in 2009, one of many hon-ors and accolades he has received over the years. All are appreciated, though none are expected.

“I really enjoy the awards I’ve gotten, but that’s not why I do this,” he explains. “And, to tell you the truth, I feel so small when I hear about what some of the other people do. I just do this because I love it.”

Brady sees much joy during his weekly appearances at the Stockley Center; he also sees heartbreak and despair from time to time.

But one constant among the residents at Stockley is that they all have big hearts;

they are genuinely good people who were simply cast an unfortunate lot in life.

But they are human beings, a fact many people have trouble remembering from time to time.

“Sometimes people are afraid to get near them. In society, especially growing up, if someone is different, you have a tendency to stay away from them,” says Brady. “But these people have big hearts and there are absolutely no inhibitions with them. What you see is what you get.”

Phillip “Sky” Brady has been volunteer-ing his time with the Stockley Center for more than a decade-and-a-half, in addition to other area homes for mentally chal-lenged members of our society.

It is his purpose in life, it always has been. And he doesn’t foresee that changing anytime soon.

“It makes my very happy that they en-joy it, so I try to get around and see how everybody is doing. I see some big smiles come on their faces when I do that,” says Brady. “Going out there is something that’s pretty special and I really have a good time with it.”

The item last week concerning the Whaley family should have read Clarence F. and Mary, not Carlton as printed. Sorry, Dick and thanks for calling me!

Darrell, Charlene and daughter, Megan, Meade have returned from a most interest-ing vacation to Istanbul and Caradocia, Turkey, where they visited missionary friends, Michael and Lori Platt. They were also able to take in the sights of Hagia So-phia and Topkapi Palace among many oth-er interesting landmarks. They enjoyed the two weeks there and Charlene has brought back a variety of new recipes which she now is trying on other family members.

On Sunday, Nov. 14, John Benson trav-eled to New Jersey to compete in “Beast of the East Quad Rugby “ tournament. A number of his relatives and friends went along to cheer him and the team on; among those were Jack and Iris Benson, Olan and Ruth Matthews, Roy and Kay Jones, Kevin Litweiler, Samantha Miller, Lindsay Shipley, Lindsay Trivits, Matthew Marvil and Alan O’Neal.

Here of late there seem to be many get-togethers at Laurel Pizzeria and last week on Tuesday, Nov. 16, the Laurel Red Hat “Lunch Bunch” had 16 “hatters” enjoying lunch there.

On Wednesday, Nov. 17, ladies from the Laurel class of ‘59 met for lunch at the same spot. I’ve made note of the fact that a few classes, instead of waiting several years for a reunion, now meet monthly or even quarterly to keep in touch with the times and former classmates. Great idea, I think.

The United Methodist Women of Mt. Pleasant Church want you to know ahead of time that they will be holding an “in-door yard sale” at their location on Dec. 11 from 8 a.m. until noon. For an early breakfast bite they will offer scrapple sandwiches to munch on as you browse among the attic treasures. So, mark your date book now!

It’s great to see Eleanor Paradee out and enjoying local events again. I under-stand that she will be among the family members sharing a great Thanksgiving dinner in Salisbury with her daughter, Sally Irwin, and her family.

At the school board meeting on Wednesday night, Nov. 17, there was a lot of electricity and emotion in the room, the subject of which I will go no further. However, when Donna Reed spoke she said she didn’t care (and rather someone put her following remarks in the paper) as she stated that being a school bus driver, and on the roads early in the morning, on foggy days she meets motorists with no lights on and said, “Please, if you are trav-eling in these conditions, put on your head lights, for safety sake!”

The Laurel Garden Club members met on Sunday, Nov. 14, at St. Philips Parish Hall. Guest speaker was Dennis Russell of Act II Florist in Seaford. He demonstrated for the group the arranging and creating of floral displays. Following the program they shared in light refreshments made and brought to the meeting by the members. At their next meeting they will be busy mak-ing Christmas wreaths: it’s that time again.

Another date to put on your calendar, and it’s not too soon; the Cook house will be open to guests on Sunday, Dec. 5, for a tour of the house and hostess’ will serve light refreshments. Time for this event will be 1 until 6 p.m. This same Sunday is the day to enjoy the Christmas music and readings at Old Christ Church at 3 p.m. Consider it a date ! See you then.

Special happy birthday greetings to Lindsey Elliott on Nov. 27, with love from Mom.

Happy birthday to a former classmate,

neighbor and friend, Jim Elliott, across the Bay, on Nov. 28. Jim knows who is send-ing this wish — just “me.”

We express our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Edna O’Neal, Dennis Ray Tull and Esther B. Hill.

Hastings wins state essay contestSussex Technical High School senior

Courtney Hastings of Laurel was the state winner in the 9-12 grade category of the “Casual For The Cause” student essay contest sponsored by the Office of the Delaware State Treasurer.

Each grade category winner received a $50 savings bond courtesy of the staff of the Office of the State Treasurer who raised hundreds of dollars over the past several months by participating in a pro-gram allowing staff members to pay $1 per day to dress casually. All funds raised are used to promote the education and well-being of the First State’s valued citizens.

Courtney found out about the essay contest during a stop at the State Trea-surer’s booth while visiting the Delaware State Fair this past summer. Her essay, “Saving Money Now Can Save Your Life-style Later,” explained how the sudden death of her father changed her lifestyle and taught her to be financially aware about saving money.

Courtney is the daughter of Shelley Hastings of Laurel and is studying media broadcasting at Sussex Tech.

Courtney Hastings of Laurel receives her essay prize from State Treasurer’s Assis-tant Richard Rexrode.

We continue with prayers for our ser-vice men and women and friends who are ill: Ruth Ann Phillips, Terry Whaley, Ralph Gootee, Rita Baker, Jim Spicer, Rita Brex, Patience Phillips Slacum, Ted Clark, June Benson Powell, Conner Niblett, Robert Truitt, Bill Adkins, Paul Wootten, Hazel Baker, Jean Henry, Susan Levredge, Jean Foskey, Mary Jane Phillips, Janet Musser, Catherine LeCates, Dot Murphy, Eddie Melvin, Shirley Rehal and Betty Chandler.

Happy November birthday greetings to: Mary Jones, Thomas Wootten (26); Leonard Hickman (27); Melinda Thornton, Pansy Plummer (28); Wally Guyot (28); and Ruth Hickman (30).

When you read this column (if you do) you will have exactly 30 days until Christ-mas. Happy shopping!!

See you in the stars.

Club learns about DenmarkInternational affairs was the topic of

discussion for the November meeting of the Delmar New Century Club.

Chairman Brenda Morris introduced Soren Ardal, the foreign exchange student from Delmar High School. A 16-year-old sophomore, Ardal, spoke about the culture of his native Denmark and compared it to the U.S.

The people of Denmark take advan-tage of the free medical, transportation and education services provided by the country. With his interest in graphic de-sign, Ardal hopes to continue his educa-tion including working in animation. His mother is a nurse in Denmark and his

father is a professor. Ironically, his father taught some

years ago at Salisbury University. His 24-year-old brother is an artist with the Norweigen Academy of Fine Arts.

Denmark has a queen and prince among the Royal Family as well as an elected goverment. Ardal noted that cheese, ham and milk are among the main exports of Denmark. They have a family Christmas celebration on Decem-ber 24 with a dinner and the lighting of candles on the tree.

Ardal was impressed with the area beaches and enjoyed surfing. He also enjoys skateboarding. He speaks several languages and is hoping to join the bas-ketball team at Delmar High School.

Arrested on burglary chargesSeaford Police responded to the Plaza

Tapatia on Sussex Highway in Seaford, in reference to a burglary alarm on Nov. 18 at 1:40 a.m.

With the assis-tance of the Dela-ware State Police and Blades Police Department, of-ficers established a perimeter around the business. When they went inside, officers located the defendant, Jonathon R. Terry, 32, of Seaford, in a storage room. Terry was transported to the Seaford Police Department for processing.

Based on further investigation by the Seaford Police Criminal Investigations Division, Terry was linked to several other burglaries which had occurred at the busi-ness within the past month.

Terry was arraigned at the Justice of the Peace Court #3 in Georgetown and com-mitted to the Department of Corrections in lieu of $22,000 secured bond pending a preliminary hearing in the Court of Com-mon Pleas.

Charges include four counts of bur-glary, two counts of wearing a disguise,

three counts of theft under $1,500, at-tempted theft under $1,500 and two counts of criminal mischief.

Police search for burglarDelaware State Police have determined

a suspect, Kyle T. White, 27, of Seaford, for several burglaries in the Seaford area between Oct. 20 and Nov. 9.

During the course of the burglary inves-tigations, troopers learned that numer-ous occupied and vacant houses under construction or bank owned were bro-ken into and items such as computer equipment, jewelry, prescription medica-tion, copper wiring, money and credit cards were stolen.

White was ar-rested on Nov. 2 and charged with four burglaries that he committed in late Oc-tober. White has since been released and continued burglarizing homes while out on bond.

On Nov. 17, police obtained additional warrants against White for burglaries com-mitted from late October through Nov. 9. A few of these burglaries were commit-ted after White was released.

Delaware State Police is searching for White and has active arrest warrants for burglary and theft charges.

Charges include four counts of second degree burglary, one count of third degree burglary, three counts of theft $1,500 or greater, two counts of theft under $1,500, four counts of criminal mischief under $1,000, two counts of second degree conspiracy and obtaining a controlled sub-stance by burglary theft.

The State Police seeks the public’s help in locating White. Anyone with in-formation is asked to call investigators at 856-5850, ext. 219 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333.

Child pornography arrestA proactive undercover online inves-

tigation by the Delaware Child Predator Task Force resulted in the arrest of a Dela-ware man on child pornography charges.

Officers from the Child Predator Task Force and Dover Police Department re-cently executed a search warrant at a residential apartment at 1300 S. Farmview Dr., Dover.

Officers seized a laptop computer and other digital media which contained nu-merous files of child pornography, as well as a small quantity of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

The sole occupant of the apartment, Michael B. Matthews, was taken to Dover

Police Department for further investiga-tion, where he was charged with 29 counts of using a computer to unlawfully depict a child engaging in a prohibited sex act and possession of marijuana. Matthews is a Wesley College student. Following his arrest, Matthews appeared before JP Court #7 and was committed to the James T. Vaughn Correctional Center in default of $290,200 secured bond.

Arrested for hunting violationsDept. of Natural Resources and Envi-

ronmental Control Division of Fish and Wildlife Enforcement agents arrested a Dover man for hunting-related violations on Nov. 15.

Michael Camisky, 56, of 65 Song Bird Lane, Dover, was arrested and charged with two counts of failure to attach deer tag to antlered deer, failure to check ant-lered deer within 24 hours, two counts of unlawfully transporting antlered deer, two counts of killing antlered deer without pur-chasing a hunter’s choice tag, carrying an unlawfully loaded firearm in a vehicle and not wearing required hunter orange.

He was released on $1,900 unsecured bond pending trial at the Kent County Court of Common Pleas.

Citizens are encouraged to report fish and wildlife violations to the Delaware Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Section at 302-739-4580.

Caroling in the ParkThe Gateway Park Committee and the

City of Seaford will host the 17th Annual Caroling in the Park Celebration on Mon-day, Nov. 29, at 7 p.m., in Gateway Park. Rain date is Friday, Dec. 3.

The Gateway Park Committee has been dedicated to ensuring a festive holiday season for Seaford residents by decorating the trees in Gateway Park for over a decade. The idea started when residents, Dave and Cristine Layton vol-unteered to light the small trees in the park with mini-lights. It later escalated to large-bulb lights and the addition of Car-oling in the Park held on the first Mon-day after Thanksgiving. With donations received from the community, a 24-foot, pre-lit panel tree was dedicated as the Community Christmas Tree in 2006.

The Community Christmas Tree was decorated on Nov. 17 but will not be lit until Nov. 29. To support the holiday decorations in the park or the Caroling in the Park events, donations may be made to the Gateway Park Committee, through the City of Seaford, at P.O. box 1100, Seaford, DE 19973. Any donation over $300 will be recognized with an en-graved brick in the park. For individuals who would like to support the tree with a smaller contribution, a “silver bell” orna-ment sponsorship can be purchased again this year. Bells are available for $5, $10 and $15, depending on size. A sponsor-ship will place a name of your choice on the ornament before it goes on the tree. With the purchase of a bell, you will re-ceive a set of Holiday Specs, 3D glasses

that magically change the lights on the tree.

Ornament sponsors are encouraged to place their bell on the tree at the dedica-tion ceremony or may elect to have it placed on the tree in advance. Sponsors may keep their bell at the end of the Col-lection boxes will also be available at Caroling in the Park for the City’s Com-munity Food Drive which will serve the Food Closet at St. John’s United Method-ist Church.

ObituariesWarren L. Allen Sr., 91

Warren L. Allen Sr. passed away Sun-day, Nov. 14, 2010, after a short illness at Nanticoke Memorial Hospital in Seaford.

Warren was born May 19, 1919, on a farm four miles north of Seaford. The second son of Nellie and Clarence Allen, he represented the 6th generation that had been farming the area since the 1770’s.

Warren graduated from Seaford High in 1937 where he held the record for the most sports letters for 50 years. After a post graduate year at the Peddie School in Heights Town, N.J., he enrolled at Princ-eton University. While majoring in politcal science, he joined the Charter Club. He and the company traveled (by train) as far as Chicago doing one night variety shows. Warren was also an All Ivy League third baseman. In June 1942, the day after graduation, he and Doris A., daugh-ter of former Delaware Congressman Wil-liam F. Allen of Seaford, were married in the Princeton Chapel. The next day, Allen was commissioned as a Lieutenant in the U.S. Army and was ordered to Ranger training. After serving in the European Theater which included the Battle of the Bulge, Allen returned home in 1945 as a Major. Warren, along with his brothers, took over the family poultry business. Lat-er, their sons joined the operation helping make what is regarded as a successfully managed poultry company today. Warren worked at his desk right up to the end.

Allen served in Delaware’s House of Representatives (1946-1952). He was the House Minority Leader during his 3rd and final term. In addition, Allen served 18 years (14 as chairman) on the Delaware Mental Health Commission. He also was a longtime board member of the Bank of Delaware and served several years as a member of the Delaware Business Round Table. Warren was a founding member of the SG&CC as well as a long time mem-ber of the RB&CC. He was fond of golf and loved reading, but his real passion was dancing. Some of Warren’s benefi-ciaries include: Delaware Community Foundation, Sussex Cheer Center, The Salisbury School, Seaford Boys and Girls Club, Seaford Mission, Seaford Library, Seaford Senior Center, as well as giving annual College grants to SHS graduates.

In 2008, the Delaware Chamber of Commerce presented Allen with their an-nual Marvel Award for lifetime of busi-ness and philanthropic excellence.

Warren’s first wife Doris died in 1990. He married Paula Hust of Pompano Beach, Fla., in September 2000. She made sure Warren truly enjoyed these last 10 years. Warren was preceded in death by his 2 brothers, Charles and Jack along with 2 children, M. Linda Allen Mears and Leland D. Allen. Warren is survived by 2 sons, Warren L. Allen Jr. (Ren) and William C. Allen (Bill) of Chevy Chase, Md. Also surviving are 7 grandchildren: Susan L. Mears, William R. Mears Jr. (Bill), Tristan S. Allen, Warren L. Allen 3rd (Lewis), Alexa Allen Baich and her husband Dane, Spencer D. Allen and Wil-liam B. Allen (Brad). Services were held on Sunday, Nov. 21, at St. John’s United Methodist Church in Seaford. Interment was private at the request of the family.

Saved?

Acknowledge your sin and place your trust in Christ.

All who place their trust in Christ in this way are adopted as God’s children.

All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. ~ Romans 3:23

our Lord. ~ Romans 6:23God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners,

Christ died for us. ~ Romans 5:8If If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be

saved. ~ Romans 10:9

Get your flu shot Delaware’s Division of Public Health

(DPH) continues to urge all Delawareans 6 months of age and older to get vaccinated against the flu, a highly contagious virus. On Nov. 16, the DPH lab confirmed a case of H1N1 flu in a 50-year-old New Castle County man who is recovering at home.

This serves as a reminder that people should get vaccinated as soon as possible.

This year, the seasonal flu vaccine protects against three likely flu strains, including the H1N1 virus, and is readily available through medical providers, phar-macies and DPH clinics.

It is especially important that the fol-lowing groups get their flu shots as soon as possible:

• Pregnant women and their household contacts;

• Caregivers and household contacts of children younger than 6 months, since those children are too young to receive the vaccine;

• Seniors;• Those with chronic conditions or

compromised immune systems. DPH offers free flu shots at health clin-

ics in all three counties. Visit www.flu.delaware.gov for flu clinic schedules and other flu information.

Cancer Care coordinator; Mary Brown, RN, DSN, manager Cancer Care Center; and Wendy Polk, nutritionist – with assis-tance from Lois Wilkinson, DBCC special projects manager, who helps facilitate the program at Bayhealth.

Of particular value to newly-diagnosed women is DBCC’s Peer Mentor Program through which they are paired with a long-term survivor for one-on-one support.

Beare

This column was written prior to the FDA decision to issue an ultimatum that has forced the makers of Four Loko to remove caffeine from their product.

By Dr. Anthony PolicastroI have often written about the dangers

of alcohol use in young teens who are not aware of how quickly alcohol can build up in the body. Now there is a new threat in the form of a flavored beverage called Four Loko.

This beverage comes in a 23.5 ounce can, about twice the size of a can of beer. The beverage contains 12% alcohol, about twice what beer contains. The result is that one can of this is equal to about four cans of beer.

For a 100 pound person, that would mean that one can would result in a blood level of 0.1. This is well above the current legal limit. For a 150 pound person, one can would give a blood level of 0.067. That is close to the legal limit.

In addition to the alcohol, the can also contains about as much caffeine as a cup of coffee. Thus someone who drinks it would be more wide awake than someone who drinks alcohol alone because alcohol tends to make people sleepy.

The result of the combination of alco-

hol and caffeine can be dangerous. Many emergency rooms across the country are now treating alcohol poisoning due to this beverage.

There are people who drink a six pack of beer at a single setting. The result is a blood alcohol between 0.1 and 0.15 depending upon their weight. If someone decides to try drinking a six pack of Four Loko, their blood alcohol would be be-tween 0.4 and 0.6. Both of those levels can be fatal.

The individual might decide to only drink 72 ounces of Four Loko, the same volume as a six pack of beer. However, because of the high alcohol content, it would still produce levels of between 0.2 and 0.3. Both of those can produce signifi-cant alcohol poisoning.

One real concern about this beverage is that it is relatively cheap. For that reason, people can afford to buy it in large quanti-ties making it more available than more expensive alcoholic drinks.

It is not likely that the people who decide to drink Four Loko are going to pay attention to the alcoholic content. For that reason we all have an obligation to spread the word. Six cans in a single night can kill you. Three cans in a single night can land you in the emergency room. Unfortunately, there will be some families that will find out the hard way.

Four Loko poses threat to teens

Holiday eating - it’s about portions By Mary Trotter, MS, RD, LDN

The holidays can put even the most health conscious parents to the test when it comes to keeping their family’s healthy habits on track. With leftover Halloween candy sitting around the house, Thanksgiving stuffing and Christmas cookies just around the corner, it’s no wonder we’re all resolving to some diet or another by New Years Day. So, what can we do to make sure our healthy habits don’t get lost in the hustle and bustle of the holidays?

Rather than trying to eliminate the holi-day goodies altogether, it’s more realistic to try to enjoy them moderately as a fam-ily. It’s okay for you and your family to enjoy the holiday meals and treats as long as you are enjoying sensible portions. So what does a sensible portion look like?

Obviously, children need smaller por-tions than adults to meet their nutrition needs and to fill them up. To help with this, consider that our youngest children should start with one-third the portion of an adult for meat, poultry or fish. The adult serving is about 3 ounces or the size of a deck of cards. Kids 3 to 6 years of age should start with half the adult serving (one and a half ounces) and older children can start with 2 or more ounces.

The appropriate serving of grains for children 1 to 6 years of age is a quarter cup. For all over 6 years of age, it’s a half cup of grains. Fruits and vegetables serv-ings should be a half cup for all but the youngest group. Start with a quarter cup for children 1 to 3 years of age. Remember more is better for fruits and vegetables.

Sensible tips for your family• Children and adults behave the same 

way when there is a large amount of food on the plate – both tend to eat more of what they like best if it’s on the plate. So start with the right portion size and then let your children ask for seconds if they are still hungry.

• Serve your meal family style if pos-sible – this allows kids to put the right amount on the plate from the start and teaches them how to make healthy choic-es.

• Create a positive eating environment 

and listen when a child tells you he or she is full. Try and get rid of the “clean your plate” habit.

• Avoid rewarding good behavior with foods of any kind. A hug, praise, extra playtime and stickers are all good alterna-tives.

• Fill half of everyone’s plate — adults and kids — with fruits and vegetables.

• Use smaller plates and use small glasses for drinks too.

• Try to avoid the idea that dessert is a reward for eating the “healthy food” or cleaning the plate. Make dessert a special treat, rather than part of the everyday meal.

• Be a role model, practice portion con-trol and put the right amount on your plate too.

• Many people forget to consider their beverage choices; the beverage is part of the meal too. For children ages two and up, choose a healthy beverage like wa-ter or fat-free or 1-percent milk (choose whole milk for tots 12 to 24 months old). Three-quarters of a cup (6 ounces) of milk is all young kids need at meal time. If they are still thirsty, offer water to finish out the meal.

Of course, these tips aren’t just for the holidays. Portion control is important to follow everyday. The great thing about taking the approach of moderation during the holidays is that it will teach your chil-dren a healthy way to enjoy their favorite foods year-round.

Leftovers are the uneaten re-mains of a meal that are saved for later use. There are some who would say that this definition, while accurate enough, doesn’t do justice to what’s left of Thanksgiv-ing. This is the camp that contends that the best part of Thanksgiving is the day after. It’s a pretty big contingent.

If you’re generous to a fault, you may send your guests home with all the leftovers in doggie bags. But if total magnanimity isn’t for you, here are some helpful hints cour-tesy of Epicurious.

• Pull all the meat off the carcass and cut into small pieces. This not only saves space but helps the meat cool quicker leav-ing less of a chance for bacteria to grow.

• Cover the turkey tightly so it stays as moist as possible.

• When reheating, moisten with a little turkey or chicken stock.

• Don’t waste the bones - use them to make more stock.

• If you’re already tired of turkey, save it for another day. It can be frozen for up to 2 months.

Here are some winning recipes in the “Creative Use of Leftovers” category.

Tuscan Turkey Soupy NoodlesGourmet, November 2010

Gas LinesGas prices continued

their ascent this week, despite retreating crude oil prices, leaving motorists to wonder if the trend will continue as the Thanksgiving holiday travel weekend approaches. The national average price of regular grade gasoline was $2.88 Friday, down a penny from earlier in the week and on par with last week’s price.

Crude Oil PricesAfter posting 2010 highs of just un-

der $88 a barrel last week, crude oil fell in five of the last six sessions by week’s end. A stronger U.S. dollar, in addition to international concerns about China increasing interest rates to curb growth and worries over the solvency of Ire-land’s debt sent which could lead to an-

other European financial crisis, pushed crude oil down $3.37 or almost 4

percent for the week, the biggest percentage loss since the week

of August 13 when prices fell over 6 percent.

A look ahead“AAA is projecting 94 percent of

Thanksgiving holiday travelers or 39.7 million people (up 12 percent over last year) will travel by car to be with fam-ily and friends,” said Jana L. Tidwell, AAA Mid-Atlantic spokesperson.

Local pricingOn Monday gas stations from Del-

mar to Greenwood were selling regu-lar gasoline in a range from $2.819 to $2.979 a gallon. The low is even with a week ago and the high is two cents more.

The holidays are about family, sometimes too much In the tradition of the retail

stores, I am going to offer a Christ-mas column before I have even eaten the Thanksgiving turkey. Hal-loween had not yet come around this year and merchants had started erecting Christmas trees and string-ing brightly lit seasonal lights and lawn deer throughout the stores. I suppose it is all linked to the economy and the need to get people thinking about starting their holiday shopping. It is sad that the holidays remain so commercial.

I really wish we could go back to a time when Christmas meant celebrating the birth of Christ and simply sharing quality time with family and friends. I fear that will never occur because the holidays represent such a monumental boost to the economy.

Even with the commercialism of the season, I still find something magical about Christmas. It is a great opportunity to reunite with some friends and family we have become somewhat out of touch with during the busy schedule of life.

I remember that as a child Christmas morning lasted only a very short time. We opened our gifts and almost immediately headed out the door to visit family; this would keep us away from our own home until well past dark.

We would pack in the car and Dad would drive us to my grandparents’ house

where all of my uncles, aunts and cousins would converge on the homestead like flies on the rear door of an outhouse.

I have never understood how my grandmother was able to feed all of the mouths that crammed into her kitchen. It was chaotic at times, but yet methodical as well. All of the “grownups” would gather around the table and eat while we “youn-guns” played outside.

Make no mistake about it; we played outside no matter if it was 40 below zero and snow up to our eyeballs. Inside the house was the haven for the adults and where I believe the adage “children should be seen and not heard” was first practiced. As a matter of fact, I am not sure we were even supposed to be seen.

Once all of the adults finished eating and talking, something that could take hours, we younguns were called in to eat what was left over; most probably neck

bones and feet. Actually, I cannot recall ever seeing the table anything less than filled with bountiful food even after we had finished eating. It was a miracle just shy of Jesus serving the multitude.

After dinner we would pile in grand mom’s parlor and exchange gifts. This was the most unorganized, chaotic event in the history of the civilized world. Someone would hand out presents and the scene looked similar to a food drop in Ethiopia.

It is a wonder that someone didn’t lose a hand or eye. The grabbing and tearing at neatly wrapped presents was shameful. It was as if the secret to eternal youth was hidden under the gift wrapping.

It was not unusual for us to be at the grandparents’ house until 6 or 7 p.m. You would think at that time we should shuffle home and spend some quality time with our Christmas presents and break bread at our own kitchen table. This was not part of the plan, not as far as my Dad was con-cerned.

We would leave grandmom’s house after spending the entire day with aunts, uncles and cousins by the score. Then we would head out of grandmom’s yard and begin a trek that would take us to the in-dividual homes of each of these aunts and uncles and cousins before we could even consider returning to our own home.

Doorway by doorway we would go into the house and as Mom and Dad had cake, cookies and coffee, we younguns would play with our cousins and see what they

got for Christmas. It was not so much us seeing what they got Christmas, but more us seeing what we didn’t get. This would be followed by a grand item by item pre-sentation by the hostess aunt who would sit beneath the tree and show each piece of clothing and every knick knack and paddy whack that Santa had left at the house. This, based on the economic standing of the particular aunt and uncle, could last as long as 45 minutes.

So, multiply this exact agenda by the number of aunts and uncles that we visited and you can see why it was not unusual for us to stumble into our home some-where in the vicinity of midnight.

Then for several nights after Christmas, we would be visited by these same aunts and uncles that we had visited, so that they could partake of cakes, cookies and coffee and allow my mother to conduct a similar, but somewhat shorter item by item presen-tation.

Shorter because by the time these aunts and uncles had arrived at our home my brothers and I had yanked all of our presents out from under the tree and those items that were not missing a wheel, arm, head or inner spring, were most likely strewn somewhere betwixt our house and another part of our neighborhood.

Oh well, as chaotic and time consuming as it may have been, there is no denying that my childhood Christmases were cer-tainly centered on family, mostly every-body else’s family.

Someone would hand out presents and the scene looked simi-lar to a food drop in Ethiopia.

Each grant request must be submitted on a 2011 Youth Philanthropy Board for Sussex County Grant Application Form

which can be downloaded from the DCF’s website, www.delcf.org or obtained by contacting the DCF by calling 856-4393 or email, afrazier@delcf.org. Completed ap-plications must be postmarked or delivered to the Delaware Community Foundation by Jan. 7, 2011. Grant recipients will be announced in April 2011.

This year’s grants will be made pos-sible in part by the Youth Philanthropy Fund established by Phyllis Wynn. Con-tributions to support this program are wel-come and may be sent to YPB for Sussex County c/o DCF, P.O. Box 1636, Wilm-ington, DE 19899.

Gov. Markell to lead JAG boardGovernor Jack Markell has been elected

chairman of the national board of directors for Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG), a national non-profit dedicated to helping resolve our country’s dropout problems in education and employment. Delaware provided the original model for the JAG approach, now used across the country.

Markell is the second Delaware gover-nor to lead this organization and the 10th board chair in JAG’s 30-year history. He joined the JAG board in 2009 and was for-mally installed at the organization’s 30th Anniversary National Leadership Awards celebration recently at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C.

Markell will lead a board of 50 leaders from the corporate, government and non-profit worlds. Eight other Governors serve on the board of directors.

Delaware model adoptedJAG works principally at the state

level, and the State of Delaware played the role of establishing and testing the JAG Model in 1979-80. In 1979, Governor Pete du Pont launched Jobs for Delaware Graduates. That program came to serve as the model for the JAG national organiza-tion, which was founded a year later in 1980. Later, Governor Tom Carper, also of Delaware, played an integral role in furthering expansion of the organization across the country through a network of local state organizations and as vice chair of the JAG board.

In its bipartisan efforts over the past 30 years, JAG has helped nearly 750,000 students through its model programs, pro-

viding individualized middle school, high school, early college and employment sup-port. This year, about 42,000 young people across the country are in JAG-accredited programs in 32 states. More than 90 per-cent of them will successfully graduate from high school.

Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG) is a state-based national non-profit orga-nization dedicated to preventing dropouts among young people who are most at risk.

Founded in 1980, JAG has consistently delivered compelling results – helping nearly three-quarters of a million young people stay in school through gradua-tion, pursue postsecondary education, and secure quality entry-level jobs leading to career advancement.

More than 800 JAG Model Programs are now in use in 32 states, making a proven difference in communities and in the personal and career lives of program participants, including a 90 percent-plus graduation rate.

MORNING STAR • NOV. 25 - Dec. 1, 2010PAGe 28

Are you one of the Delaware taxpayers the IRS is seeking?

The Internal Revenue Service is look-ing for 314 Delaware taxpayers who can claim their share of undelivered refund checks totaling $496,000. These unde-livered refund checks were returned to the IRS by the U.S. Postal Service due to mailing address errors. The IRS can reis-sue the checks, which average $1,580 after taxpayers correct or update their addresses with the IRS.

Nationally, there are 111,893 taxpayers with undelivered refunds, totaling $164.6 million with an average refund of $1,471.

Nationwide, undelivered refund checks average $1,471 this year, compared to $1,148 last year. The average dollar amount for returned refunds rose by 28 percent this year, possibly due to recent changes in tax law which introduced new credits or expanded existing credits, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit.

If a refund check is returned to the IRS as undelivered, taxpayers can generally update their addresses with the “Where’s My Refund?” tool on IRS.gov. The tool also enables taxpayers to check the status of their refunds. A taxpayer must submit his or her Social Security number, filing status and amount of refund shown on their 2009 return. The tool will provide the status of their refund and, in some cases, instructions on how to resolve delivery problems.

Taxpayers checking on a refund over

the phone will receive instructions on how to update their addresses. Taxpayers can access a telephone version of “Where’s My Refund?” by calling 1-800-829-1954.

While only a small percentage of checks mailed out by the IRS are returned as undelivered, taxpayers can put an end to lost, stolen or undelivered checks by choosing direct deposit when they file either paper or electronic returns. Taxpay-ers can receive refunds directly into their bank, split a tax refund into two or three financial accounts or even buy a savings bond.

The IRS also recommends that taxpay-ers file their tax returns electronically, because e-file eliminates the risk of lost paper returns. E-file also reduces errors on tax returns and speeds up refunds. E-file combined with direct deposit is the best option for taxpayers; it’s safe, easy and fast.

The public should be aware that the IRS does not contact taxpayers by e-mail to alert them of pending refunds and that such messages are common identity theft scams. The agency urges taxpayers not to release any personal information, reply, open any attachments or click on any links to avoid malicious code that will infect their computers. The best way for an indi-vidual to verify if she or he has a pending refund is going directly to IRS.gov and us-ing the “Where’s My Refund?” tool.

Artists Studio TourVisitors of the 16th Annual South-

eastern Delaware Artists Studio Tour on Thanksgiving weekend will be treated to debuts of a host of new creations in con-trasting styles and media, print premiers, talks, demonstrations, and the opportuni-ties to participate in a group painting, shop for unique holiday gifts and win a work of art.

The free, self-guided, two-to-three-day tour, Nov. 26-28, takes visitors on a wind-ing path through a 10-mile region to visit the working studios and galleries of 15 of the region’s best known painters and fine artisans, several internationally recognized.

Art in the HatEvery year each SEDAST tour artist

donates one work of art to the tour’s an-nual Art in the Hat fundraiser for local school art programs. Fifteen works of art will be given away this year to tour visi-tors. Ticket chances are $10 each or three for $25 and can only be purchased the first two days of the tour at the SEDAST stu-dios and galleries.

To date, SEDAST has raised nearly $30,000 for local elementary through high school art programs. Art in the Hat win-ners will be announced at the tour’s con-

clusion.Tour FAQsThe SEDAST tour is one of the most

successful, long-lived art tours in the country and annually attracts more than 1,000 visitors, who, guided by a free tour map, pick and choose the studios they wish to visit.

Tour hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Fri-day, Nov. 26, Saturday, Nov. 27, and for several of the studios, Sunday, Nov. 28. A brochure containing a map to all tour stops, hours of each studio, information and images of the artists and their works, and this year’s Art in the Hat contributions is available at regional galleries and busi-nesses and online at www.artstudiotour.com.

Each studio and gallery on the tour will be marked with orange and yellow bal-loons and signs pointing the way, and all studios have brochures. Many of the artists will be offering holiday refreshments and music throughout the festivities.

The public is invited to dress comfort-ably, bring friends, family, holiday guests and plan to have fun exploring the diverse creative talents abundant in Southeastern Delaware.

The 16th Annual Southeastern Delaware Artists Studio Tour on Thanksgiving weekend allows participants to visit area studios on a free self-guided tour, to see artists and their works. Here artist Ellen Rice works on a painting.

MORNING STAR • NOV. 25 - Dec. 1, 2010 PAGe 29

I like paint. I like its smell, its creamy smooth texture and the many colors in which it is avail-able.

I like buying it, watching the clerk punch in on the keyboard on the mixing machine my selection’s code and then seeing the streams of concentrated colors flow into the white base. I like opening the can, dipping the brush in for the first time and spreading the paint on whatever it is that I’ve deter-mined is ready for a spruce-up.

And I love the colorful chips that are available — for free! — at the paint coun-ter. I have quite a collection of them, from the sand that I selected years ago for our living room to the mustard that last year I painted on the brand new walls of our renovated back porch.

My most recent paint adventure was in the kitchen, where our old laminate coun-tertops were dragging down all efforts I had made to brighten the room. Years ago, I painted the cheap plastic cabinets that came with our house, covering the brown wood-grain contact paper in which the cabinets were wrapped with glossy white enamel. Despite the fact that everyone warned that paint would not stick to such a slippery surface, my plan, with the help of subsequent touch-ups, worked. What an improvement!

Now, I was ready to do the same thing to the countertops, only with high-gloss black paint. Again, everyone warned that mine was a foolhardy plan. Even the clerk at the paint store, normally my ally, cau-tioned that the oil-base paint I had in mind was not suitable for countertops. It will get nicked, she said, and will scratch and peel off.

Paint and I have been together long enough that I know what it can and can’t do. I felt confident in its ability to cover the ugly white and gold laminate that I had come to hate.

And so, one bright fall afternoon, with all of the windows open so that fumes could escape, I opened the can of black high-gloss oil-based paint that I had bought and carefully spread layer after layer on the old countertops.

Again — what an improvement! And for a mere fraction of the cost of a new counter, even of the cheapest variety. It’s

true that now and then, when I’m not care-ful with a pot or with the cutting board, the black paint chips off, leaving a patch of white. For that occasion, I keep the black paint and a small brush, as well as a jar of mineral spirits in which to rinse the brush, under the sink, within easy reach for a quick fix-up.

Recently, I found myself in the paint department of a large home-improvement store. I looked at the array of colors, won-dering where I could put this one and what room would be improved with that one.

In my perusal, I came across one brand of paint’s “Audubon Collection,” with colors that are found in nature and that a designer with the paint company has grouped together to represent a seascape, a forest, or a desert landscape. Guacamole with turquoise mist, root beer with toffee crunch. Blackberry jam with apple cider. That designer, in addition to having a fine sense of color, must have been hungry.

Two colors in particular caught my eye: tomato bisque and chocolate turtle. I picked up those paint chips to bring home to add to my collection. The bedroom is looking kind of drab, I thought. What bet-ter way to brighten one of the approaching winter days than by painting?

As soon as I walked into the house, I knew why I liked those two colors so much. The chocolate turtle is nearly iden-tical to the back porch’s mustard. And the tomato bisque is very similar to the brick No. 5 in the dining room. So much for branching out.

No matter. I’m happy to have two new paint chips — featuring, in addition to tomato bisque and chocolate turtle, bran muffin, brown basket, peachy keen and really russet — to add to my collection. If there’s no actual painting to do on that cold winter day, at least I’ll be able to dream.

Paint and I have been to-

gether long enough that

I know what it can and

can’t do.

New wetland restoration project completed by middle schoolers

Last fall, poultry producer Doug Vanderwende attended a presentation about nutrient management and wetland restoration projects, prompting him to con-tact DNREC’s Drainage Program about a wetland project on his Greenwood farm. He provided a sketch that served as the basis for the project that was constructed last summer by the Sussex Conservation District and DNREC Drainage staff.

On Nov. 6, middle schoolers from the Conservation Club at Phillis Wheatley Middle School in Bridgeville completed the restored wetland at Doug and Debbie Vanderwende’s Locust Grove Farm by planting wetland grasses, sedges, rushes and shrubs as part of the wetland’s natural filter system.

“This project is a great example of the work we’ve been promoting for the last few years in partnership with the Depart-ment of Agriculture and the agricultural community to improve the water quality of runoff from poultry production areas,” said Tom Barthelmeh, DNREC Environmental Program Manager.

The plan involved constructing a wet-land treatment system within a three-acre section of a field, using existing irrigation system wheel tracks as dividers for mul-tiple wetland cells (areas). These restored wetland cells now filter runoff from two poultry houses, two manure structures, a sheep pasture and agricultural fields before entering the tax ditch system.

“The native vegetation planted by the students will absorb excess nutrients, re-sulting in cleaner water being released into the tax ditch system, which drains into the Chesapeake Bay Watershed,” Barthelmeh

said.“My kids have heard how wetlands

serve as filters and help clean our water by filtering out pollutants. Now they can say, ‘I helped restore a wetland,’ and feel great about the experience,” said Conservation Club Advisor Pam Vanderwende. She also noted a heron was already enjoying the new habitat and called the whole experi-ence “memorable, rewarding and very educational” for club members as well as two families from the Peach Blossom 4-H Club who volunteered their time.

The Locust Grove Farm project is one of many wetland restoration projects that will be implemented in Delaware in the next few years. Wetland restoration is a key component in a new multi-state, multi-phase plan to improve water quality by reducing excess nutrients and sediment en-tering the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. The EPA is currently in the process of setting new total maximum daily load (TMDL) limits for phosphorus, nitrogen and sedi-ment that come from the watershed and enter the streams, rivers and Bay.

Six states within the Chesapeake water-shed – Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and New York, plus the District of Columbia – are work-ing with the EPA to prepare implementa-tion plans to meet these new limits, with the goal of having all actions in place by 2025. DNREC is preparing to submit Delaware’s final phase 1 plan to the EPA in late November.

For more information about ecological restoration projects including wetlands, contact Tom Barthelmeh, Wetland Resto-ration Program, at 302-739-9921.

MORNING STAR • NOV. 25 - Dec. 1, 2010 PAGe 31

New recycling law goes into effect in December replacing 5-cent deposit

A new law aimed at offering recycling opportunities to all Delawareans through the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control goes into ef-fect Dec. 1 – repealing and replacing the state’s 5-cent bottle deposit with a 4-cent recycling fee that will apply to the same kinds of containers that have carried the deposit.

The fee directly contributes to another component of the law that will extend recycling service to every home and busi-ness in Delaware. Waste haulers will provide regular recycling collection to all single-family household customers in Delaware as well as to bars and restaurants by Sept. 15, 2011.

Over the next few years, virtually ev-eryone in Delaware will have access to comprehensive, convenient recyclables collection programs at home and at work. This will help create jobs, extend valuable landfill life, save resources, reduce green-house gas emissions and conserve energy.

Waste haulers will provide recycling collection to all multi-family residential customers in Delaware by Jan. 1, 2013. All commercial businesses will be required to participate in a comprehensive recycling program by Jan. 1, 2014.

To help give momentum to universal recycling, the new container law elimi-nates the old 5-cent bottle deposit that few people redeemed, replacing it with the 4-cent recycling fee. The fee will create the Delaware Recycling Fund, which will offer grants and loans through DNREC to improve recycling in the state. The 4-cent fee is scheduled to end either when the Delaware Recycling Fund collects $22 million, or on December 1, 2014, which-ever occurs first.

The transition from the nickel bottle de-posit to 4-cent recycling fee is as follows:

• Starting Dec. 1, the 5-cent refundable 

deposit will no longer be charged on soda and beer bottles. Instead, bottles that for-merly carried the deposit will now carry a 4-cent recycling fee, which is not refund-able.

• Consumers have until Jan. 31, 2011 to collect refunds on bottles for which they paid a deposit prior to Dec. 1, 2010.

• Bottles still labeled with the 5-cent deposit may be found on store shelves for a short while after Dec. 1, 2010. However, the store will not charge a deposit on these bottles, nor can customers return them for a refund.

• The 4-cent recycling fee on each bottle will be paid by stores to the State of Delaware to create the Delaware Re-cycling Fund, which will offer grants and loans for projects that improve recycling throughout the state.

• The 4-cent recycling fee is scheduled to end either when the state Recycling Fund collects $22 million or on Dec. 1, 2014, whichever occurs first.

• The Delaware Division of Revenue began sending information about the end of the 5-cent deposit and ensuing 4-cent recycling fee to retailers of beverage con-tainers. Retailers should contact the Divi-sion of Revenue at 302-577-8778 or visit its website (www.revenue.delaware.gov) to register, or to obtain more information about payment of the fee.

Retailers must now remit this 4-cent per bottle fee to the Division of Revenue. Retailers must also obtain a State of Dela-ware Retail Beverage Container Business License (at no cost) for each location at which the 4-cent beverage containers are sold.

For consumers, more information about Delaware’s beverage container changes or the state’s new universal recycling law can be found at www.recycling.delaware.gov or by calling 302-739-9403.

Democratic Caucus elects leadersThe House Democratic Caucus recently

selected Reps. Robert F. Gilligan, Peter C. Schwartzkopf and Valerie J. Longhurst to continue serving as the caucus’ leadership for the upcoming legislative session.

During the standard post-election organizational meeting, Reps. Gilligan, Schwartzkopf and Longhurst were chosen to serve as speaker, majority leader and majority whip, the same respective posi-tions they held during the 145th General Assembly. Although he was chosen by the caucus, Rep. Gilligan must be confirmed by the entire House of Representatives as speaker.

The Delaware House of Representatives was the only state House in the country to gain Democratic seats in the November 2 election, and one of only five state legisla-tive chambers where Democrats picked up seats – the state Senates in Hawaii, Mary-land, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania

are the others, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Demo-crats gained two seats and now hold a 26-15 majority in the 41-member Delaware House.

During last Tuesday’s meeting, the cau-cus also discussed the committee process and submitted committee requests for the upcoming session. Committee assignments and chairs will be announced at a later date.

Incumbent representatives also wel-comed four new members to the Demo-cratic Caucus – Reps. Stephanie T. Bold-en, Debra Heffernan, Edward Osienski and Rebecca D. Walker. Although these Democratic freshmen will not be formally sworn in to office until next year, by state law they already have begun their terms and are officially state representatives.

The 146th General Assembly session will convene on Jan. 11, 2011.

It’s the end of November already, and racing has come to a stop until next season at the Delaware Motorsports Complex. Before we gear up for the 2011 season, let’s take a look at 2010. All three tracks had new champions this year. Over the next few months, we’ll talk about all of the champions and the year end show.

For the first time in the history of the Delaware State Dirt Track Championship, the championship was held at night and on an earlier date that in the past, Oct. 22-23. Both the date and format was changed to a Friday and Saturday night instead of a Saturday and Sunday event in early No-vember.

Patrons all seemed to like the change, or that is the jest I have heard from a lot of fans. I personally liked the changes; it made the racing far better than a day show. If you didn’t go this year, you missed out on some great racing. There may have been a few less cars but that did not affect any of the racing action.

Longtime race driver Billy Pauch cleaned up this year grabbing the Small Block 50 lap feature on Saturday and returned on Sunday to nail the Big Block Modified 50 lap feature. Between the two divisions, Pauch earned $12,588. On Saturday, Pauch ran his No. 1 car and on Sunday he drove the No. 1W owned by Will Brown. Small Block second through fifth place went to Wade Hendrickson, Larry Soloman, Shawn Reimert and Ray Swinehart. Neither of those drivers runs every week at Delmar on Saturday nights. The Big Block remaining top 5 were Jimmy Horton, Richie Pratt Jr., Chic Cossaboone and local driver Matt (the Joker) Jester.

On Saturday, the Little Lincoln Vintage Stock Car Club also had the final race and the final points race for the drivers. Brian Brasure collected his first Delaware State Dirt Track Championship, which was a lot more money than a regular season race pays. It was his second win for 2010 and he went on to place 2nd in club points. It was his best year and first full season with the racers in his third year of racing. The other top five for the year end champ show went to Jamie Wagner with the win, Brasure, Mel Joseph Jr., Bill Brittingham and Steven Baker.

The points battle was close to the very last race. The points championship title went to Mel Joseph Jr., followed by Brasure, Bill Brittingham and Jamie Wagner who both tied for a third place finish. Fourth went to John Stevenson and Jeff Wheatley who take turns driving the same car. Fifth through 10th were Donald Robinson Jr., Emory West, Ryan Walsen, Steven Baker and Bobby Williamson.

The club will hold its yearly banquet in January. You can keep up with the Little

Lincolns online at www.littlelincolns.com. On Sunday, the feature winners went

to Super Late Model driver Ricky “the Rocket” Elliott, followed by Darryl Hills, Mark Byram, Donald Lingo Jr. and David Hill. Three of these drivers were regular home drivers. Elliott took home $7,325 in winnings.

The AC Delco TSS Modified winners were Brandon Blades, who collected his first and only feature win of the year and $1,960; Joseph Tracy, Westley Smith, Ryan Anderson and Scott Hitchens, all Saturday night racers.

The Crate Model winner was Bobby Watkins collecting $1,670; Clay Tatman (his best ever finish and it was his first year too) was second; and Ross Robinson, Joe Warren and Clint Chalabala rounded out the top five. Watkins drove for owner Robert Bragg’s 424 car for the first time this season.

The Modified Lite winner was Bran-don Dennis who collected $1,040; second went to Kevin McKinney; and Kerry King Jr., Tim White and James Hill rounded out the top 5. Hill flipped in Saturday’s qualifying but was able to return to start 20th for the feature. It was his second win in the Delaware State Dirt Track Champi-onship with Dennis claiming his first win back in 2006. Dennis also clinched the track title for the third consecutive year.

The Southern Delaware Vintage win went to C.J. Schirmer; and Jim Pride Jr., Chuck Tucker, Mark Williams and Eric Vent round out the top five. The first Sportsman win went to Kelly Putz who finished sixth. It was a good show of cars and great to see.

The U.S. 13 Dragway has completed the season with the track championship going to Ben Parks, Salisbury, Md., in Super Pro. In Pro, Phillip Truitt of Par-sonsburg, Md.; Pro Bike - Charles Nock of Greenwood; Crystal Hudson of Mills-boro picked up her fourth championship in a row in Street Eliminator; Jr. Dragster 1 champ - Kody Mariner, of Salisbury; and Jr. Dragster 2 - Amy Jo Jackson, of Newark, Md.

The U.S. 13 Kart Club Track has final-ized the club points. Champs are: Junior I Rookie – Jarod Millman #7; Junior I – Reese White #27; Junior II - Dillon Adams #25; Junior III – Ashlyn Steele #48; Animal Lite – Michael Allaband #7; Animal Medium – Mark Droney #9D; Animal Heavy – Brett Thomas #11; 370 Flathead – Robert Walls, Jr. #55A; Junior Unrestricted – Ashlyn Steele #48; and Clone 375 – Aaron Headley #03.

The Kart Club will hold its annual ban-quet in January.

We’ll talk about the regular speedway Saturday night track champions next month. The dragway will hold its banquet on Jan. 28; the speedway on Jan. 29. For more information, contact the track office

at 875-1911, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visit the track’s website at www.delawareracing.com and catch us on Facebook too.

The Delaware Motorsports Complex is located in Delmar, off Route 13, just be-fore the Maryland and Delaware state line.

There is no charge for the children but each child must be accompanied by an adult, for whom the charge is $3. For other adults the charge is $7. This children’s activity is a very special part of the three days of the Victorian Christmas.

On Friday, Dec. 10, everything starts with a 6 to 8 p.m. Wine and Cheese party featuring exceptional hors d’oeuvres along with the usual party fare and a free raffle ticket for two wine baskets. Charge for this event is $10 per person.

The weekend celebration ends with a Steeple-walk starting at St. John’s Church at 6 p.m. This consists of singing Christmas carols while walking among the three downtown churches. Some pro-gramming will be offered in each church. Refresh-ments will be served at St. John’s Church. There is no charge for this.

On all three days of the Victorian Christmas, December 10, 11 and 12, there will be tours of the

13 rooms of the Mansion, decorated by the Seaford Spade and Trowel Garden Club, tours of the his-toric log slave quarter, musical entertainment (in-cluding the Sound Waves Bell Choir from Seaford Christian Academy form 2 to 3 p.m. on Sunday), refreshments, an art show and an opportunity to meet and talk with impersonators of the Ross fam-ily.

The charge for Saturday or Sunday afternoons from 1 to 4 p.m. is $7 per person.

The Christmas Boutique will be open in the Mansion gift shop with unique and interesting gifts, many of which are homemade, all offered at a very reasonable price.

This festive weekend is sponsored by the Sea-ford Historical Society. For more information call the SHS office at 628-9828.

Victorian Christmas at the Ross Mansion on De-cember 10, 11 and 12. Each member of the Seaford Historical Society is asked to contribute one item.

Laurel Midget football captures Division 3 Eastern Regional crownThe Laurel Pop Warner Midget football team traveled to Toms River South High

School (N.J.) for the Division 3 Eastern Regional championship last Saturday afternoon. The Bulldogs were lead by Jerron Tull on their way to a 44-13 victory over the Point Pleasant Golden Elks (N.J.).

Tull had touchdown runs of 65, 70, 80 and 15 yards on his way to a career day. He finished the day with eight carries for 247 yards and four touchdowns. Ben Miller added a 77-yard touchdown run and Elijah Snead had a five-yard touchdown run as the Bull-dogs complied over 400 yards of offense for the third time in regional play.

Johnny McGinnis capped the scoring with a 35-yard interception return for a touch-down. Tull also caught an extra point pass from Justin Revel and Snead ran in an extra point in the win.

Laurel Pee Wee team tops Dorchester in regional finalsThe Laurel Pop Warner Pee-Wee football won its 11th game of the 2010 season on

Saturday by a 13-12 score over the Dorchester Vikings in the championship game of the Division 3 Eastern Regional Tournament in Toms River, N.J. The Pee-Wee Bull-dogs ended their season with a perfect 11-0 season and the first Pee-Wee Division 3 Eastern Regional tournament championship ever for the program.

The Bulldogs’ defense kept the game close in the first half by shutting down the Vikings’ high powered offense after their first quarter score. The special teams turned the game around when Donnell Briddell ran back the second half kickoff 80 yards for a touchdown and tied the score. This proved to be the momentum change the Bull-dogs needed.

The Bulldogs scored again in the third quarter on a Briddell 26-yard run. Briddell ran in the extra point which proved the winning score.

The Bulldogs’ defense held the Vikings scoreless until the final three minutes of the game when the Vikings scored but missed the extra point kick. The Bulldogs recovered the onsides kick and needed two first downs to run out the clock. The of-fense, led by Briddell and Garrett Temple, ran for two first downs and kneeled down to end the game.

Briddell had 17 carries for 75 yards and two touchdowns, Justin Hill carried the ball twice for 47 yards, Temple added nine carries for 36 yards, and Timaun Williams chipped in with eight carries for 28 yards.

The Laurel defense allowed 140 yards of offense as Cole Collins recorded three tackles and three assists, Williams had seven tackles and an assist, and Briddell added five tackles and a fumble recovery. Temple and Alyzjah Kellam each had three tack-les and Deon Tre Parker made two tackles.laurelstar.com

Back-to-back state champsSussex Tech field hockey team rallies to win second straight titleBy Mike McClure

The Sussex Tech varsity field hockey team followed up a thrilling, last second win over Cape Henlopen in the state semifinals with an equally tough win over upstate powerhouse Tower Hill to win its second straight state championship last Saturday in Dover.

“It’s amazing. I could never dream of something like this. With all my girls any-thing is possible,” said Sussex Tech goalie Megan Cannon.

“It’s unbelievable to be the two time champion. We definitely pulled it togeth-er. We definitely had a target on our back. We just had to fight.”

The Ravens advanced to the champion-ship game when senior spark plug Maxine Fluharty scored with five seconds left in a scoreless game against Cape Henlopen, which handed Sussex Tech its only loss of the season earlier in the year.

On Saturday, it was deja vu all over again, with the Ravens and Hiller meeting in the championship game. Like last year, Sussex Tech edged Cape Henlopen in the semifinals before facing the perennial state final qualifiers for all the marbles.

Sussex Tech opened Saturday’s contest with a pair of corners, but the first half was dominated by Tower Hill. Elise De-Dominicis gave the Hillers a 1-0 lead with 25:15 left in the first half.

Tower Hill came back with 12 corners before the Ravens got another one, but Sussex Tech took advantage of the corner as Fluharty’s shot bounced off the cross bar before Lindsay Rickards knocked it in. The senior’s goal knotted the score at 1-1 with 2:51 remaining in the half.

Tower Hill out-shot Sussex Tech, 7-2, and held a 14-3 advantage in corners in the opening half, but the score remained 1-1. Cannon recorded five saves in the first half for the Ravens.

“All we talked about (at the half) was our intensity,” Sussex Tech head coach

Nancy Tribbitt said. “The defense stepped up, they’ve been doing it all year.”

“They (defense) really had a big role and we played off them in the second half. We knew the offense had to step up and help them out,” added senior midfielder Taylor Kieffer.

Sussex Tech wasted little time getting on the scoreboard in the second half as senior Kelsey Doherty knocked in the go ahead goal with 26:29 left in the game. Less than four minutes later Fluharty fired a shot past the Tower Hill goalie (22:41 left) to make it 3-1.

Tower Hill kept battling, firing a flurry of shots on goal in the final 22 minutes. Cannon and the defense fought off the Hillers and preserved the 3-1 victory.

“My defense is amazing, I wouldn’t be able to do my job without them,” said Cannon, who recorded 12 saves in the game. “After those goals I was like ‘20 more minutes, that’s all we need is 20 more minutes’.”

“This is just as great as number one. This is never going to get old,” Tribbitt said following her team’s second straight championship win. “You never know, you have to take it game by game to see where you are after each individual game and when we got up in the morning we were in the final game.”

Tower Hill finished the game with an advantage in shots (13-5) and corners (20-5), but Sussex Tech held the advantage where it counted, on the scoreboard.

“It’s insane, it’s indescribable. We’re just so excited,” said Kieffer. “It (winning the state title this year) was a lot more dif-ficult. We wanted to prove it wasn’t a one time thing and that we could do it again.”

The Ravens were led by seniors Flu-harty, Abby Atkins, Rickards, Doherty, Kieffer, Melanie Moore, Betsy Coulbourn, and Logan Pavlik. Tribbitt was assisted by coaches Carolyn Maull, Kelly Schirmer, and Sue Brady-Sekcinski.

“They (players) complement each oth-er, they talk to each other,” Tribbitt said. “They’re (senior class) going on to the rest of their lives but this is always going to be a special moment.”

It wasn’t pretty, but the Delmar varsity football team advanced to the state semi-finals with a 22-16 win over St. Georges last Saturday at Caravel High School. The Wildcats overcame three costly turnovers thanks to a strong effort by the defense, which shut out the Hawks in the second half.

Following a St. Georges punt, Delmar opened the game with the ball on the 14 and moved the ball to the Hawks’ 30 yard line thanks De’Vaughn Trader’s three car-ries for 35 yards. The Wildcats lost the ball on a toss on fourth and one, giving the ball to St. Georges.

The ball bounced the Hawks’ way on their second possession, which started on their own 38. St. Georges advanced the ball to the Delmar 38, then a Hawk ball carrier fumbled the ball forward where it was recovered by St. George’s Leonard Robinson for a first down. Brenton Wat-son ran the ball in for a touchdown and added the two-point conversion to make the score 8-0 with 10 seconds left in the first quarter.

The Wildcats once again moved the ball down field as quarterback Alex El-lis completed a 13-yard pass to Billy Poole and Keandre Whaley picked up a four-yard run on third and two from the Hawks’ 43. Delmar lost another scoring opportunity with a fumble on second and eight from the 27, which was recovered by St. Georges’ Robert Grundy.

The Delmar defense held tough, forc-ing a punt to give the ball back to the of-fense. This time the Wildcats got on the scoreboard. Trader had a 42-yard run and

Ellis plunged into the end zone from a yard out. Brady Scott’s extra point pulled Delmar within one (8-7) with 6:12 re-maining in the half.

St. Georges came right back with its own scoring drive, starting at its own five yard-line. Robinson had a 30-yard run and quarterback Stanley Zulkowski completed a 56-yard pass to Robinson. Watson ran the ball in from a yard out and Zulkowski scored the two-point conversion on a keeper for a 16-7 Hawk lead with 3:37 left in the first half.

Delmar’s offense got the ball at the 38 and quickly went to work. Trader had two carries for 17 yards, Frank Braham added three carries for 27 yards, and Ellis scored on another one-yard keeper. Scott’s PAT made it 16-14 with 30 seconds left.

The Wildcats opened the second half with the ball on the 42. Ellis completed a 13-yard pass to Trader. But on second and eight from the St. Georges 30, Delmar fumbled the ball again and the Hawks’ Breyton Kelly pounced on it.

Robinson helped St. Georges move the ball near midfield with a 19-yard run. On third and six from the 46, Delmar’s defense stood tall as Justin Ross, Dakota Harmon, and Cory Mattox dropped Wat-son for a one-yard loss, forcing a punt.

The Delmar offense started with the ball on its own 11 yard-line. Whaley had two carries for 31 yards, Braham picked up a 13-yard gain, and Mattox rumbled for 10 yards. This time the Hawks’ de-fense stepped up, stopping Ellis short of a first down on fourth and one from the St. Georges 26 with 41 second left in the quarter.

Delmar’s defense came up with another

stop to force a punt and give the ball back to the offense for what turned out to be the go ahead drive. Braham fought his way for a 10-yard run on fourth and three from the Hawks’ 37, Whaley pushed forward for five yards from fourth and two, and Trader took a pitch from Ellis on third and goal from the two and hit a hole created by his blockers for a touchdown. Trader also scored a two-point conversion to give

the Wildcats a 20-16 lead with 5:03 to go in the game.

St. Georges’ offense took over on the 42 and Watson exploded for a 37-yard run on second and two from midfield. Whaley held Zulkowski to a one-yard gain on a keeper and a holding penalty on the Hawks set up second and 21 from the Wildcat 24.

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

Last Saturday was one of the most amazing days I’ve ever seen in local sports. I only wish I could have been in two places at once to witness it all.

Going into this Fall I thought there was no way the local teams could top, or even match last Fall’s achievements. Af-ter all we had two local teams win state championships in one season, that’s al-most unhead of.

And then Saturday happened. Wow, what a day of local sports. It started with the Laurel Pop Warner Pee Wee foot-ball team winning the Eastern Regional championship in Tom’s River, N.J. Not long after that happened, the Sussex Tech varsity field hockey team won its second straight state championship.

Just those two accomplishments are enough, but the local teams were not done yet. The Laurel Pop Warner Midget football team also played in and won the Eastern Regional championship in Tom’s River.

While the town of Laurel was wel-coming their heroes with a celebration at the high school, the Delmar varsity football team began its quest to win its second straight state title. The Wildcats have a long way to go, but they got things going in the right direction with a win over St. Georges in a game played at Caravel High School.

Congratulations to all of our local teams on their outstanding achieve-ments.

The Streak- Another local athlete took part in an outstanding accomplish-ment in another state. Ross Higgins of Seaford, a junior at the Episcopal High School in Alexandria, Va., was part of a winning streak that dated back to 2007 (the Laurel Midget team has a much longer regular season winning streak).

Higgins and the school’s soccer team

recently lost its first games since 2007. The streak had been at 63 games prior to the team’s loss to St. Stephen’s/St. Agnes in the semifinals of the Virginia Independent School tournament. The two teams were knotted through regula-tion and overtime until St. Stephen’s/St. Agnes won on penalties.

Higgins and his team were featured in the Washington Post on Nov. 3 and 8. The first article was about the school’s diverse make up which includes players from Zimbabwe and a number of states throughout the U.S. Episcopal High School is a private boarding school in Alexandria.

In the second article, Higgins told the Washington Post that the saddest part of the semifinal loss was not the end of the steak, but knowing it was his last game with the team’s seniors.

Eastern Shore Baseball HOF holds dinner, induction ceremonyBy Tommy Young

The Eastern Shore Baseball Hall of Fame held its annual dinner and induction ceremony at the Delmar Fire Hall recently. For the past few years, it has been held in Delmar either at the VFW or the fire hall because it is centrally located on the “shore” and the food is good, and they do not charge us for the use of the building.

This tradition has been going on since 1982 when this organization was founded, and baseball fans from all over the shore look forward to this event because it gives them a chance to see old friends whom they used to play with or against and to remi-nisce plus honor the new inductees.

Last Saturday morning, the ESBF board of directors showed up to put the finish-ing touches on the room which the Delmar firemen had already set up. This included decorations on the tables, the reserved signs plus brining in memorabilia to view, some items from the gift shop for sale and some items donated for silent auction by the board of directors.

As for the evening ceremony, it went off as smooth as glass. The social hour was from 5-6, and then the Reverend Bill Kniceley, the associate pastor at Trinity United Methodist Church, gave the invocation which was followed by a delicious dinner.

Then Jeff Fields, the treasurer and a board member, took over as the master of ceremonies and introduced the officers and board of director and welcomed the guests and guest speaker. Chairman Kenny Green took over and the silent auction was held plus the door prizes were given away.

Jeff Fields then handled the induction of the inductees and gave a brief biography of each one of them. The new inductees are: William “Stoney” Briggs, Al Burris, Winfred “Wimp” Corbin, Delino DeShields, Arthur “Archie” Ellis, Daniel LeBright, Robert “Bobby” Nichols, and Wayne Williams. They gave short speeches mostly thanking the ESBF for making this all possible.

Then after the benediction by Reverend Kniceley, the program came to a close, but nobody including me wanted to go home as there was a whole lot of mingling and conversations with old friends that had not been seen for a long time.

All in all, I thought it was one of the best ESBF events we have enjoyed for a long time, all 180 of us.

Poole and Jared Campbell held Zulkowski to another one-yard gain and another penalty on St. Georges pushed the ball back to the 28. Ellis broke up a pass from Zulkowski on third and 25 before batting down his fourth down pass near the end zone to end the threat.

Delmar got the ball back with just over two minutes left in the game and Whaley ran the ball two times for 19 yards, allow-ing the Wildcats to run out the clock.

“What an effort there at the end,” said Delmar head coach David Hearn. “They (St. Georges) played hard, you could see

in their faces how hard it hurts.”Trader ran for 141 yards and a touch-

down, Ellis had a pair of touchdown runs, and Whaley ran for 97 yards. Braham, in his first game back from an injury that has kept him sidelined since the Wildcats’ week five game against Indian River, had seven carries for 56 yards. The win sets up a rematch against St. Elizabeth (Saturday at 7:30 at Baynard Stadium), which de-feated Delmar in a non-conference game early in the season.

“They played great the first time we played them. We’ll really have to raise our game to compete with them,” Hearn said.

I’d say 97% of the people in Laurel support renewing the contract of the current superin-tendent

Schools should berun by educators

After the defeat of the first Laurel School Referendum, prior to the first meet-ing of the second referendum committee meeting, Board President Lois Harstein opened her remarks with, “We listened to the people,” resulting in a compromise on the referendum which eventually won ap-proval of the community.

After a robust and vocal crowd of ap-proximately 150 turned out in support of Dr. John McCoy at the recent board meeting, I have to say to Ms. Harstein and the board, “Can you hear the commu-nity now?”

If Gallop were to do a poll based on the crowd in attendance and the petition list of 450 names gathered in less than a week, minus their 3% margin of error, I’d say 97% of the people in Laurel support renewing the contract of the current super-intendent.

One prominent Laurel official said they have never been to a hearing such as this one and seen not one person speak against. In my 72 years living in Laurel I’ve never seen anyone come out in support of any-thing in such large numbers.

It was said often the board is elected by the people to serve the wishes of the people. Not always the case. Sometimes elected officials know more than we do and may vote against our wishes. We elect people to do the right thing and if they don’t do as we think, regardless of the facts, we become upset. Being a public of-ficial is a no-win situation; people assume you are doing wrong by the mere fact you are an elected official. Being a school board member in a small community is also a no-win because everyone knows you.

But someone has to do it, and less and less people are stepping up to the plate. Is-sues such as this one don’t make it any easier to be an elected official.

Thus far nothing but a 2-page statement read by Ms. Hartstein that she wasn’t noti-fied of the recent test scores is the only reason we know of for not renewing Mc-Coy’s contract. That has been countered

by teachers and administrators who said they were told of the scores in a meeting which Ms. Harstein could have attended, and research by one of my bloggers stated test scores in Laurel have risen, and at the recent board meeting Laurel was listed as one of the only three schools in the state that have shown improvement.

And, as we saw from the reports of ad-ministrators Wednesday, all schools are on the improvement list and, as Mr. Nichols stated, if they keep raising the standards each year no one is going to catch up.

To me this 2-page letter is not enough for the board members to hang their hats on.

The community, the search commit-tee and the board wanted an administrator that:

1. was not from this area so he wouldn’t have to suck up to anyone; done.

2. would be involved in the community, visible and attend school functions; done.

3. would improve the education stan-dards of the district; apparently on the way.

4. would be a take charge person, yet compassionate in his duties. Well it ap-pears there may be a problem with him taking charge. Word is some of the board members want to be involved in the day-to-day operations, and a power struggle may be going on.

Note to board members: STAY HOME unless called upon, mind your own busi-ness and let the person who’s making the big bucks run the show. You were elected in an advisory capacity; hear of a problem, call the superintendent, don’t even attempt to solve the problem. You were not elected to be involved in the day to day opera-tions.

Ms. Harstein comes from a strong busi-ness background, management in a large corporation, knew her job well and prob-ably had to step in and do a little micro-managing to get the job done and on time.

Mr. Hyland and Ms. Hickman have been in the classroom and have a good feel in that area. Mr. Nichols and Mr. Musser have business backgrounds. We are lucky to have them represent us as our trustees of our educational system. Combined, they should be able to make intelligent decisions when presented to them by the superintendent for a vote. But neither is qualified to run the district or know what is best for our students.

Someone said at this recent meeting on the discussion that has been going on for some time that you need a business person to run schools instead of an educator, that this would not work.

Whoever said that message the board should take into consideration; stick with

your day job and leave the business of education to the superintendent, who, by the opinion of the voters, seem perfectly happy with keeping.

I hope Ms. Harstein with her leadership capabilities can pull this one out of the fire and once again, “Listen to the com-munity.”

Angels at my churchI would like to thank the angels of the

Church of the Nazarene in Laurel. I am disabled and am a member of this church. The way the people help other people shows my church family as being terrific and caring.

I would like to thank the men of my church, who gave up their time from their families to help me. I asked someone in church if I could get help installing a washer and dryer. The house I’m rent-ing did not have a set-up. Being disabled makes it very hard to go to the laundry mat.

The next thing I know there are a couple of men from church here at my house installing the setup for both washer and dryer. Then they noticed my back door and felt it wasn’t safe. They returned and replaced my back door with a steel door donated by Rusty Dukes. Thank you again, Rusty.

They came back a couple of months later and built me a beautiful ramp, so it is easier for me to get in my house, plus I don’t have to leave my scooter outside in the weather any longer.

To me they are the angels of my church who help the disabled and needy. Without being asked, they are there for us.

Thank you, my angels. God knows what He is doing by sending you to help others.

I know you all will have a special place in Heaven for special people like you.

Please give us another chanceI am ashamed to admit that I am from

Georgetown after the lack of hospitality that was shown to our out of town guests, residents of the town, dignitaries, specta-tors and parade recipients who were even denied entrance to the staging area, plus many more that are not even mentioned.

On Thursday, Nov. 4, for what was supposed to be a joyous Return Day cel-ebration like we remember from the past, turned out to be an uncalled for fiasco.

Many were denied access to even the parking areas for the shuttle bus services that we had arranged. Some of them just gave up and went back home, some as far away as Dover. Those who did not make it in were even denied access to cross the streets, or be able to utilize the public fa-cilities - some of the public facilities and trash cans that were in place we were told had to be moved out of The Circle Area. Like you, I ask, “Why?”

The many horror stories, the phone calls, plus visitors to the office, some of them being business owners who were de-nied being able to open their businesses for the day have made my hair stand on end. One example was a lady living on Bram-hall Street trying to get to work on East Market Street, a trip that should have taken at the most 10 minutes, took one hour and 20 minutes and she had to go by way of Millsboro. Unbelievable!

The rain was bad enough, but this type of overkill was totally uncalled for. Who is to blame? We as a Return Day Committee have not found the answer to that yet, but the Mayor has promised me we will get to the bottom of this. I can hardly wait.

I do know who is not to blame and that is the Return Day Committee, all made up of volunteers who spend a lot of tireless hours with lack of sleep to try to plan a celebration that everyone of all ages will enjoy and will want to return to. It was taken completely out of our control.

Many people have told me they will never come again if this is the way it is going to be in the future, especially if they have to walk as far as they were made to this time. Many people were physically unable to walk a great distance. Why would you have a parade if you were not going to allow people into your town?

I am also going to lose a lot of good people from the committee because they are simply tired of someone else other than the committee trying to be in control. Two directors have already alerted me that their resignation is on the way.

The only thing we can offer is our apologies and say we will do everything we can to try to save the unique tradition of a normal “Return Day.” I hope you will give us another chance.

DISCOUNTS ON SINGER SEWING MACHINES

By State Rep. Daniel B. Short39th District

In less than two months the 146th Gen-eral Assembly will convene on January 11th to begin the new legislative session. I am pleased to have been re-elected and I look forward to starting the new session with my Sussex County colleagues and ad-dressing the many important issues before the legislature.

Sussex County legislators from both political parties continue to be in a posi-tion to make a real difference at the state level for the citizens we serve. Sussex County lawmakers in both the House and Senate have traditionally worked well to-gether and I am sure this session will be no different.

I look forward to working with my Sus-sex colleagues, including State Represen-tatives Biff Lee and Dave Wilson, whose districts adjoin with mine, as well as State Senators Bob Venables and Joe Booth, with whom I share constituencies.

We will likely face significant budget-ary challenges again this year and tough decisions will need to be made as to how to address our fiscal concerns. Revenue estimates for the next budget cycle are, at best, flat, and likely could be down quite a bit before the end of session next June. Without a doubt, one of the major challenges we will face is how to fill the hole that will result once $124 million in federal stimulus funding no longer is available at the end of this fiscal year.

With all the important fiscal decisions ahead of us, Sussex County should be well-represented on our budget-writing panel, the Joint Finance Committee (JFC). This is a decision that will be made by the House and Senate leaders and I fully support the selection of at least one Sussex County legislator to serve on this important committee.

Before being elected State Senator, Joe Booth – when he was still a State Representative – served on JFC. Unfortu-nately, however, Senator Booth was not re-appointed to the committee after his election to the State Senate. Not having representation on the budget committee for the past two years was a loss for Sussex County and I am hopeful our House and Senate leaders will do everything they can to make sure that will not happen this time around.

Thank you again to the citizens of the 39th District for putting their confidence in me as their State Representative. It is an honor that I try to never forget and I am grateful for the chance to serve on their behalf in our General Assembly.

I look forward to the start of the new session in January, and together, with my colleagues from Sussex County, we will work hard to make sure this region con-tinues to be well-served by their elected officials.
