By Tony E. WindsorIn a spirit of community partner-

ship, the Town of Laurel has joined with the Laurel site of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Western Sussex to pro-vide a place for local teens to gather for fun and structured academic and other youth development activities.

After the Laurel Chamber of Commerce vacated the building located near the Laurel water tower on North Poplar Street, the building stood vacant and considered for demolition. However, youth leaders in the commu-

nity saw an opportunity. In early June, just prior to the

start of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Delaware’s annual “Summer Fun Club” program, Western Sussex Boys & Girls Club Executive Director David Crimmins and Laurel B&G site 21st Century Community Learning Center Director, Karen Schrieber, approached the town and asked about using the building to house a summer teen pro-gram.

Traditionally, the Boys & Girls Club summer programming has been geared to youth ages 6 to 12. However,

Boys & Girls Clubs of Delaware sites, including those in Laurel and Seaford, have been the recipients of federal 21st Century Community Learning Center grants which have enabled funds to help operate teenage programming dur-ing the school year and now through-out the summer.

The funds are part of the federal initiative “No Child Left Behind” and area administered by the Delaware Department of Education. Both the Laurel and Seaford school districts are

Laurel Boys and Girls Club receives building donationpartners with Boys & Girls Clubs in the 21st CCLC programming.

The Town of Laurel has been an active supporter of the Boys & Girls Clubs since it opened in Laurel in 2001. The building which houses the Boys & Girls Club is owned by the town and leased to the youth organization for $1 per year. Recently, the town applied for and gained a USDA grant to help pay for the replacement of the roof on the former National Guard Armory building which houses the Boys & Girls Club of Laurel.

During the Monday, June 29, meet-ing of Laurel Mayor and Council, Laurel Town Manager Bill Fasano, told the council that the Boys & Girls Club has done a “bang up job” of fixing up the former Chamber of Commerce building. He said that after meeting with Crimmins and Schrieber, the town agreed to allow the Boys & Girls Club to use the building for a teen center in return for paying the monthly utility bills.

After touring the building, Fasano said he is pleased with the transformation of the building. “They have done a great job of fixing the building up and are definitely keeping up on their end of the bargain,” he said. “The town hopes that a small dona-tion of space will make a long-term impact on the lives of our local youth.” Inside the small, one-floor building, called “The Hut,” teenagers sit together discussing a recent field trip while seated at neatly lined up round tables located in the main room.

On the walls are hand made posters that reflect a variety of guidelines for using the building and participating in group discussions. There is a list of “house rules, a field trip schedule, instructions for how to make an orderly exit and entrance to the building and a list of do’s and don’ts for computer use. There is also a list of chores that each teen has volunteered to do to help keep the building organized and cleaned up.

All of the rules were developed by the teens themselves, as part of the strategy for developing leadership and character-building among the youth. Patrice Holden, 17, is one of the teens that attend the weekly teen program. He has been active in the Boys & Girls Club’s 21st Century CLC program for the past two years. He is excited that the teens now have their own space.

“This is really nice, I like it,” he said. “This program gives us something to do and keeps us from being on the street with nothing to do. We are able to learn a lot and help to develop our education skills. But, we also have a lot of fun and go on field trips to different places.”

Holden said the group recently visited Home Team Realty and learned about the businesses’ founder Frank Parks and how the real estate business started and what the teens could do to help prepare for the time when they are faced with buying a home.

Parks also took the group back to his home where he hosted a barbecue for the teens and took them out on the Nanticoke

River to Jet Ski and use his water tram-poline. The teens are also scheduled for additional field trips including visits to Killen’s Pond, Cape Henlopen State Park, the Delaware State Fair, Skateworld, 6 Flags Amusement Park, Trap Pond State Park and educational trips to visit the Delaware Technical & Community College and Delaware State College cam-puses.

Holden said space was tight at the Laurel Boys & Girls Club as it tried to host both the younger children and teens in the armory building. He said having use of the building donated by the town of Laurel is a big help. “It is great to have our own place,” he said. “We have been able to fix this place up and we have so much more room to do the things that we enjoy,” he said.

There is a room under construction which will house a computer lab and another that will be a recording studio. Holden said youth will write their own music and use a keyboard and recording software to make their own CDs.

Karen Schrieber said the building also has a full kitchen, but they are in need of an electric stove with 110-volt hook-up. She is hoping “The Hut” will be able to get a contribution of a stove so that the youth can take advantage of culinary pro-gramming.

She would like to see the teens host special community recognition banquets where the youth can cook the food and serve the guests. Schrieber said the teens are active in developing fund raisers like

a recent Longaberger Basket raffle that will help raise the money needed to pay the monthly utility bills. “The teens are working to make sure they are respon-sible for taking care of this building,” she said. “They really appreciate the Town of Laurel donating this building, but they also know that it comes with responsibility. We have been able to make this a learning opportunity for the kids as well.”

Along the way, in addition to the Town of Laurel, Schrieber said other community members have helped furnish and provide resources to help with the 21st Century CLC teen program. They include busi-nesses such as Mary Bryan, Inc., Mike’s Clearance Center, Seaford Soroptimist International, Sue Hignutt and Sue Vanleyar.

Assisting Schrieber at “The Hut” is teen coordinator Wade Bryan. A Boys & Girls Club employee for two years, Bryan is excited about what has been accomplished at “The Hut.” “This is a wonderful oppor-tunity for the teens,” he said. “Being here in the new building has opened up a lot of opportunities. I love what we are able to do for the young people and I am really proud of how dedicated they are to this program.”

Schreiber said initially the building was proposed to be used for the summer teen program, but it is her goal to see the build-ing be a more permanent location for the teens.

She is optimistic that this will become the official home for the 21st Century CLC teen program.

MORNING STAR • JULY 9 - 15, 2009 PAGE 5

By Cathy ShufeltThe Delmar Board of Education said

goodbye to two board members during their monthly board meeting on June 23. Wayne Moore and Charles Smith are both leaving the board after the results of May’s school board election.

Speaking on behalf of the district, School Board President, Joanne Gum, thanked both men for their “care, con-cern, and devotion” to the district and its students. Both Smith and Moore said they would remain involved with the district’s activities and wished staff members well.

The district is pleased to announce that Spencer Fothergill, Class of 2010, will attend the United States Naval Academy’s 6-day summer seminar.

Students are chosen from around the world, and Fothergill will join 2,250 students in the intensive program at the Naval Academy in Annapolis.

Students stay in dorms on campus and participate in a variety of academically focused leadership workshops and activi-ties designed to give them a taste of life at the Academy.

Delmar Board of Education members discussed the ongoing budget issues that they and every other district in the state are facing.

With the final state budget not being

decided yet, many schools are scrambling to create their district budgets with little information from the state.

The Delmar School District does know that the monies for math and read-ing resource teachers as well as monies for technology may not be available, and the district is hoping that “stabilization” funds from federal stimulus packages will be available to fill those positions and purchase updated technology that is badly needed.

Dr. David Ring, Delmar’s superin-tendent, discussed with board members the upcoming changes to the Delaware Student Testing Program (DSTP), and the costs associated with the proposed changes. The Delaware Department of Education (D.O.E.) has recommended that districts take on some of the costs associated with the changes in the DSTP, and this has caused some controversy given the current financial crisis most school districts are facing.

“It has been suggested that we help pay for the tests, that we partner with the state and share costs, while this gives us some ownership over the tests them-selves, we don’t believe districts should pay for what the state is responsible for,” said Ring.

School districts in the state suggested to the D.O.E. that online testing be post-

poned until the several million dollars needed could be found, but the D.O.E. rejected the suggestion. If required to help pay, Delmar will need to find an additional $100,000 in their already tight

budget. Gum stated, “I am of the opinion that

if this is something the state requires, and wants us to do, then the state should pay for it.”

New specialty crop grant programEd Kee, Delaware Secretary of Agri-

culture, recently announced the 2009 Spe-cialty Crop Block Grant Program to fund projects that enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops in Delaware.

The Delaware Department of Agricul-ture (DDA) has established a competitive grant process to award these federal funds. The Department will administer funds totaling $225,990 for the development of projects that will benefit existing specialty crop producers. Grants will be issued from $5,000 to $40,000. DDA is seeking ap-plications from producers, non-profit or-ganizations, government entities, for-profit organizations, and universities for projects that aim to promote or enhance the produc-tion of, and access to, Delaware specialty crops. Applicants must reside or their business or educational affiliation must be in Delaware. Grant applications must be received by 5 p.m. Monday, Aug. 3.

For more information and a grant ap-plication, contact Jo-Ann Walston, DDA Marketing Specialist, at 302-698-4523. The grant application packet is also avail-able online, www.dda.delaware.gov, under Hot Topics. Visit www.ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0 for a comprehensive list of eli-gible specialty crops.

Patriot Express Loans help veteransIn just two year’s time, the U.S. Small

Business Administration’s Patriot Express Pilot Loan Initiative has supported more than $315 million in loans to more than 3,750 veterans and their spouses who are using the SBA-guaranteed funds to estab-lish and expand their small businesses.

As a result of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which raised loan

guarantees to 90 percent, and eliminated fees temporarily, the number of Patriot Express loans increased to record levels in April and May. Patriot Express, launched in 2007, builds on the more than $1 bil-lion in loans SBA guarantees annually for veteran-owned businesses, and the coun-seling assistance and procurement support it provides each year to more than 200,000 veterans, service-disabled veterans and Reserve members. The Patriot Express loan is offered by SBA’s network of par-ticipating lenders nationwide and features one of SBA’s fastest turnaround times for loan approvals. Loans are available up to $500,000 and qualify for SBA’s maximum guaranty of up to 90 percent. The average loan amount is almost $85,000.

For more information, visit www.sba.gov/vets.

Dealer Floor Plan financing beginsAuto, RV and other dealerships can ap-

ply for SBA-guaranteed floor plan financ-ing, which will make it easier for these small businesses to borrow against their inventory and increase their cash flow.

Floor plan financing is a revolving line of credit that allows a dealership to obtain financing through SBA’s 7(a) program for inventory that can be titled, such as autos, RVs, manufactured homes, boats and trail-ers. As each piece of collateral is sold by the dealer, the loan advance against that piece of collateral is repaid. As the loan is repaid, the dealer can borrow against the line of credit to add new inventory.

The DFP pilot program will run through Sept. 30, 2010. DFP loans can be made by any lender already participating in SBA loan programs. Lenders who are not already participating in SBA lending, can become an approved SBA lender.

Since the DFP pilot program is a new initiative that provides a guarantee for a specialized product, the agency is working with and training lenders who may be in-terested in offering this type of financing.

Borrowers interested in obtaining a DFP loan should contact their lender or their nearest SBA field office to get a list of SBA-approved lenders in their area. For more information, visit www.sba.gov.

ARC loans may help businessesSBA is now accepting loans for a tem-

porary new program called America’s Re-covery Capital.

“ARC” loans of up to $35,000 are designed to provide a “bridge” for viable small businesses with immediate financial hardship – to keep their doors open until they get back on track.

ARC loans are deferred-payment loans of up to $35,000, available to established, viable, for-profit small businesses that need short-term help to make their princi-pal and interest payments on existing and qualifying business debt. ARC loans are 100 percent guaranteed by the SBA and have no SBA fees associated with them.

ARC loans will be disbursed over a pe-riod of up to six months and will provide funds to be used for payments of principal and interest for existing, qualifying small business debt including mortgages, term and revolving lines of credit, capital leases, credit card obligations and notes payable to vendors, suppliers and utilities. SBA

will pay the interest on ARC loans to the lenders at the variable rate of Prime plus two percent.

Repayment will not begin until 12 months after the final disbursement. After the 12-month deferral period, borrowers will pay back the loan principal over a pe-

riod of five years. ARC loans will be made by commercial lenders, not SBA directly. For more information on ARC loans, visit www.sba.gov. For more information call the SBA Answer Desk at 1-800-U-ASK-SBA or TDD 704-344-6640, or visit www.sba.gov.

Judges respond to state pay cutsAlthough the Delaware State Constitu-

tion precludes the reduction of the salaries of judges, commissioners and justices of peace while in office through a budget pay cut, members of the Delaware Judiciary demonstrated their commitment to “shar-ing in the sacrifice” mandated by the FY 2010 pay cuts for State of Delaware em-ployees.

In support of state employees, particu-larly those employees who work closely with them every day, to date, more than 95% of the judges and commissioners, and an overwhelming majority of the justices of the peace, have volunteered to take a similar 2.5% reduction in pay in fis-cal year 2010, either through a voluntary reduction in their pay or contributions to charitable organizations.

Many of the charitable contributions made by judges and others in response to the pay cut focus on organizations that

provide services to Delawareans accessing the courts, such as Community Legal Aid Society, Inc., which receives state funding that has been significantly reduced in FY 2010.

Chief Justice Myron T. Steele said: “Despite the fact that the Judicial Branch’s budget represents only 2.7% of the overall State budget, we have gone ‘above and be-yond’ to do our part – we were the first to implement a hiring freeze for non-essential personnel, and have been making painful cuts to our budgets and working with the other branches of government to enhance state revenues, throughout this fiscal crisis. By implementing this approach, the Judicial Branch’s efforts have made millions of additional dollars available to help balance the State budget. Through the hiring freeze alone in FY 2009, the Judi-cial Branch saved more than $2 million in personnel funding.”

MORNING STAR • JUly 9 - 15, 2009PAGE 10

By Carol Kinsley

How can Sussex County grow and de-velop without losing the essence of what makes it special to current residents?

About a year ago, an effort was made to identify the “Heart and Soul of Sus-sex County.” Comments were collected and discussions held by the University of Delaware Coastal Community Enhance-ment Initiative, led by University of Dela-ware Cooperative Extension Agent Bill McGowan. On June 22 and 23, McGowan invited Sussex Countians to a second fo-rum, this one aimed at figuring out “Where do we go from here?”

The first session started with a picnic in “the Grove” next to the Elbert N. and Ann V. Carvel Research and Education Center on Route 9 in Georgetown where, until recent years, farmers and friends tradition-ally gathered for a picnic after Farm and Home Field Day. After a barbecue dinner served by the Georgia House Restaurant, some 35 participants gathered to watch a promotional-CD-in-the-making and hold a “kitchen table discussion,” as McGowan termed it, “an open exchange of ideas” about the county’s future.

The themes evident in more than 1,000 comments offered last year — some of which, along with photographs, can be seen at www.heartandsoulofsussex.org — indicate the county is seen, among other things, as:

• Agriculture and small towns, coastal resort and natural areas deeply and seam-lessly connected by history, place and people.

• An ever-changing landscape of work-ing agriculture with the sights, sounds and smells of a thriving industry back-dropped by big sky and forest.

• Small towns with rich history, archi-tecture, character and characters, places and events that make community.

• A community of sincere, down-to-earth, resourceful, “take care of each other” people of different cultures, come here’s, brung here’s and born here’s.

“We’ve figured out what is important to us — we think,” McGowan said, challeng-ing attendees at the session to help figure out how to use the information gathered.

“Do we ensure our economic growth is aligned with Heart & Soul? ... Do we use Heart and Soul to explore how we break down barriers and strengthen our commu-nities? ... Do we use Heart & Soul to guide how we grow and develop?”

He directed the discussion to three ap-proaches: economic development, building communities and growth and development.

Attendees were forthright in their com-ments, pointing out some of the problems Sussex County faces, including the lack of an urban center — things to do — particu-larly for young professionals. Affordable housing is another problem, particularly in areas where people are needed for service jobs, such as the beach. According to Joe Conway, whose family has been here since 1735, a major problem is the out-migration of 18- to 25-year-olds. “You can’t buy a house on $12 an hour,” he said.

An engineer countered: the challenge in opening a business with higher paying jobs is finding young professionals who want to move here and raise their children here. There was consensus that the schools could be improved. There are plenty of people who want to retire here, one partici-pant noted, but the problem is the middle part of life. Transportation is another problem. Residents on the east side of the county complain about summer traffic bringing tourists and their dollars, but a large percentage of those tourists are only passing through.

No conclusions were reached the first night, except that the draft Heart and Soul presentation needed more work.

At the next session, McGowan pre-sented charts showing potential changes in land use assuming “grow out” at current zoning densities. The state has 938 square miles, or about 600,000 acres. Of those, 108,000 acres are tied up in public lands, state wetlands and ag easements and can-not be developed, leaving half a million acres. Currently, 442,000 acres are “rural.” As dwelling units continue to be built, ris-ing from the existing 123,170 dwellings that now consume 25,000 acres of residen-tial suburban use and 16,000 acres “mixed use” to a potential 854,000 units permit-ted at current zoning, the rural areas will shrink to as little as 15,000 acres.

McGowan asks: “How many acres do we need for a viable agriculture?”

Other questions to ponder include: “How do you delineate towns so they look and feel like towns?” And, “If we want to move development to more urban areas, then how do you address the equity issue?”

Land use change is inevitable, McGow-

an said. “The principles of the Heart & Soul project state that we know who we are and we know what is important to us. They can help guide planning, public in-vestment, development, design, budgeting and management at the local, county and state levels.”

The time to begin that planning is now.

‘Heart and Soul’ seeks to capture Sussex’s charm

Picnics in “the Grove” on Cooperative Extension’s farm in Georgetown were once a tradi-tional part of Farm and Field Day, an enjoyable part of life in Sussex County, recalled Bill McGowan. Participants in the Heart and Soul discussion held June 22, including Sussex County Councilworman Joan Deaver, left, and Chris Weeks of Becker Morgan, enjoyed a barbecue dinner there prepared by the Georgia House Restaurant.

From Farming to FinanceWe’re all business.

Lieutenant Governor Matthew Denn announces that he has set the date for the special election to fill the State Senate seat vacated by the death of Senator Thurman Adams for the latest date permit-ted by law, August 3.

The purpose of setting the late date is to allow residents of the 19th Senate District the maximum opportunity to meet the candidates for the open seat.

Under state law, Lieutenant Governor Denn could issue a ‘writ of election’ triggering a special election on any day from the date that the seat became vacant through July 23.

Denn has elected to issue the writ on July 23, the last day per-mitted by law. Following Denn’s issuance of a writ, the Department of Elections would be required to hold the election on either Au-gust 2 or August 3, and because August 2 is a Sunday on which elections are forbidden by law, the election must occur on August 3.

“It is very important that resi-

dents of the 19th Senate District have as much time as possible to meet the candidates for this open Senate seat and learn their posi-tions on the issues,” said Denn, “so I have chosen to set the elec-tion for the latest date possible.”

The 19th Senate District in-cludes Milton, Bridgeville, Green-wood, Georgetown, and surround-ing areas.

State Rep. Joe Booth of Georgetown is the Republican’s pick to run in the special election.

Booth was chosen by Sussex County Republican Committee Chairman Ron Sams.

Booth has served since 2002 as a state Representative for the 37th District, which covers the areas between Georgetown and Lewes. If Booth wins the special election, another special election must be held for the 37th Representative seat.

Booth has just completed his service on the Joint Finance Com-mittee, which is the budget writ-ing arm of the General Assembly.

“I worked hard on the Joint Fi-nance Committee this past year, trying to work to resolve an $800 million budget shortfall. My chief concern was to reduce the size of government, to work on economic development and to try to keep our tax burden low.”

“I have done everything in my power to represent the interests of my district and look forward to

bringing this same dedication to the residents of the 19th District. I will be ready to hit the ground running on day one following the election.”

Eddy Parker, director of Sussex County’s Assessment Division, was the Democrat candidate, but as of presstime, had decided not to run.

Polly Adams Mervine, Thur-

man Adam’s daughter, has been mentioned as a possible candidate, but no decision on who the Demo-crats will be running had been made at presstime.

At a debate Tuesday evening that was to take place between Booth and Parker, another candi-date made her intentions known. Her name is Wendy Jones from the Libertarian Party.

Laurel employees sacrifice pay to continue using town vehiclesBy Tony E. Windsor

Laurel Town employees have offered to sacrifice pay in order to continue to be able to take town vehicles home with them. During the most recent meeting of the Laurel Mayor and Council, the council approved a new policy that governs the use of “take home vehicles.”

The policy affects largely town ad-ministration, including among others, the Town Manager, Director of Public Works, Waste Water Superintendent, the Director of Planning and Code Enforcement, the Chief of Police and all police officers.

The policy states that take-home ve-hicles may not be used by employees for activities other than those that are work related, or to complete a commute to the

place of work at the beginning of his or her work shift, or to the employee’s home following the end of a work shift.

Also, employees have agreed to have $15 per week deducted from his or her paycheck for each week they are taking a vehicle home. According to the policy, any employee who is assigned a take-home ve-hicle will record mileage at the beginning and end of each work shift. There must also be an account kept of all take-home vehicles along with the identity of the employees who are using the vehicles, the distance between work and their home, the total vehicle mileage, total work-related mileage and total commute mileage. This information must be submitted to the Mayor and Council for review “no less than once every three months.”

Council President Terry Wright said the policy represents a “compromise” that helped to assure that employees could keep using the take-home vehicles. “I appreciate all the staff that is willing to pay for the costs associated with the use of the take-home vehicles,” she said.

Town Manager Bill Fasano said the ability to use vehicles to commute to and from work enables a faster response time for employees when there is a town emer-gency. He said the $15 per week being paid by the employees will help to offset fuel and maintenance associated with the take-home vehicles. “Having the employ-ees agree to the take-home vehicle deduc-tion helps to avoid the town facing layoffs, furloughs or cuts in employees’ hours. “It seems drastic, but it is something the em-

ployees are willing to do,” he said.The take-home vehicle policy also out-

lines consequences for unauthorized use of the town vehicles. It states, “Should an employee be found to have abused his or her operatorship of a take-home vehicle by using it for activities not permitted by this policy or in another way as determined by the Town Manager or the Chief of Police, he or she shall reimburse the Town the full amount of the cost for fuel used during the activities, plus the cost of one full oil and filter change and tune-up, and shall be subject to immediate discipline under the provisions of the Town of Laurel Person-nel Policy.”

Exceptions to the take-home vehicle policy include vehicles assigned to public works employees designated as “on call.”

Laurel officials are hoping that by enlisting a new way of making contact with property owners about code viola-tions, there will be less delay in getting violations rectified. Laurel Code Enforce-ment Officer, Paul Frick, commented on a proposed new ordinance which calls for the town using “certificates of mailing” as opposed to the traditional certified mail notices. He said that these mailings prove to be less expensive and result in a more immediate response from the property owner.

According to Ordinance 2009-11, the Town of Laurel seeks to “enhance the beauty and orderly appearance” of the community and provide for the “appropri-ate and consistent processes and proce-dures for providing notice to offending property owners.”

Once violations are reported to Code Enforcement or discovered by town en-forcement officers, the property owner has seven days from the time the certificate of mailing is mailed to correct the problem. This is true in the case of cutting over-growth of grass, weeds and plants. The overgrowth must be cut and removed or the property owner faces a fine. Also cov-ered in the ordinance is notice to remove

“offending objects” from the property. These can be used furniture and appli-ances, or junked vehicles.

Frick said the ordinance also stipulates that property owners will only receive one notice per calendar year. After that the town will do the work and charge the property owner without further notice.

Costs for work done by the town in the event of a property owner’s failure to respond within the allotted time runs $150 per hour with an hour miminimum.

Frick told Mayor and Council that in the past using Certified Mail took longer because oftentimes recipients would not get to the post office to get the mailing and meanwhile his office could do noth-ing until they were assured the property owner had been properly notified. “Citi-zens would sometimes ride by sites we had served notice and see no work going on and assume we were not doing our job. Now we can get the certificate of mailing out and it goes directly to them and we are notified and the clock starts ticking,” he said.

The Ordinance passed Mayor and Council for a First Reading on Monday, June 29. It is scheduled for a second and final reading on July 20, during the regular Mayor and Council meeting.

Laurel seeks to streamline notification of code violations

Spend your holiday reading your health insurance policyBy Dr. Anthony Policastro

.I was on call for the July 4th weekend. Some people were barbecuing, some were watching fireworks and some were becom-ing sick. I took care of the latter group.

One of the activities that people prob-ably did not do that weekend was read their medical insurance policy. It might be a good thing to do when you have some free time.

My daughter and son-in-law work for Blue Cross/Blue Shield of South Carolina. When I talk to them about insurance com-pany problems, they usually have the same answer. What they tell me is that the insur-ance company does not make the rules. It is the employer who signs the contract that makes the rules. All the insurance com-pany does is enforce what the employer wants.

The disconnect is that the employer signs the contract. However, it is not likely that the employer reads the fine print.

That happened to one of my patients on Saturday, July 4. I had sent a baby home from the nursery on Friday, July 3. The infant had jaundice. The infant needed a repeat blood test on Saturday.

I had them come back to the hospital on Saturday morning for the repeat blood test. The registration desk called me. The

baby’s insurance would not allow them to use the hospital lab. They had to use an outside lab.

It was the Fourth of July so the outside lab was closed. That means that we needed permission to use the hospital lab. That permission needed to come from the insur-ance company.

It was the Fourth of July so the insur-ance company offices were closed. That means that I had several choices. The first was to not do the test that the baby needed. The second was to do the test but not charge the insurance company. The third was to do the test and then get the insur-ance company to approve it after the fact.

The logical choice was to get the insur-ance company to pay for it later. The only problem with that was until they approved it, the family was responsible for the bill. If they did not approve it, the family would then have to pay the bill.

That is not a good position to put new parents in. We solved the problem in this case. However, it could be someone else that needs something done on a holiday the next time.

What this means to the average person is that they need to know what is in their medical insurance policy. If they find something in it like having to use a lab that

is closed on weekends or holidays, they need to complain to their human resources office at work.

The policy will not be changed unless the people who are doing the insuring re-quest that it be changed.

Someone needs to read the fine print. It may not be the individual in human resources but the employer who does so. For that reason, you might want to plan to spend your next holiday reading your medical insurance policy.

Laurel’s 4th of July is always a great timeAnother 4th of July is over and

if we had asked for perfect weath-er we got it. At the start of the parade, at 10 a.m. the temperature was 74 degrees with a nice breeze. Some were gathered in the shade at the old post office but it was nice wherever you sat that one-of- a-kind weather day.

The crowd was definitely down some but there was a nice crowd for the day and all the stage events at Broad Creek brought large au-diences. The meaning of the day was captured quite nicely when, in the Talent Contest, 10-year-old Griffin Dunn of Seaford sang “God Bless the U.S.A.”

There were 69 entries in the Red-White and Blue Parade. It moved along nicely and was over in 50 minutes then the crowd headed down to Janosik Park for some food and entertainment. Before I left the Senior Center, Penny Duncan said how blessed she felt that morning and that Pastor Tim Dukes gave a great message. “He was wonderful,” said Penny, the 32-year director of the Laurel Senior Center, talking about the Prayer Breakfast.

Walking around, seeing so many people gathered together talking, smil-ing, laughing and in general just having a good time as the idea of the event is intended. A senior, very patriotic citizen, came up to the Chamber of Commerce booth, paid for her T-Shirt and promptly gave a nice donation for the event. Since moving to Laurel some years ago, she has supported everything that is going on and is a much respected part of our commu-nity. This seemed to be what the day was about, people such as Margret Starr; and many others who made the day great.

Sitting behind the stage listening to 16-year-old Robert Short, I viewed the audience and other entertainers who were both tapping their feet to his Alan Jack-son song and clapping in unison. After that Lauren Henry of Laurel, and Aman-da Jones of Seaford, both sang spirituals that had the entire park listening to their rendition of “It Is Well With My Soul” and “Angel Band.”

What can I say about the now famous watermelon, pie and hot dog eating con-tests. I am sure they will be back next year as the packed audience in their lawn chairs and blankets on the ground, de-

lighted in all of them. The winners are listed elsewhere in the paper.

Ricky Richardson of the Laurel Police Department said there were few problems and that the attendance for the fireworks was close to double the size of last year’s. As Chamber President Don Dykes said, “Everybody was looking for a good time and they got it.”

Pete Bryan’s new bowling center on South Central Avenue is moving along nicely and they should be ready for a September opening. They are installing the hardwood alleys now. Pete can be seen daily at work in the center, water dripping off his face as he keeps that “hands on” touch to all he does. This is a lifelong dream for this 233 average bowler who has been on the professional tour several times.

I wish Gerald Sammons, who owns the Seaford Bowling Alley continued success, as he and his dad have been there many years for us, but this is about Laurel and I’m asking bowlers to come out and support Laurel in this venture as well as the other local businesses. They certainly deserve and need your support.

Years ago I was on a team in the Du-Pont League, the “Whiz Kids” after the 1950 Phillies and we were all lefties. I believe some of us were Major Arnett, George Weldon, Fred Melvin and myself, and others that this old memory bank won’t provide.

Many years ago there was the old “Laurel League and I believe they bowled on Monday nights at Seaford. Some of, I said some of the outstanding bowlers in that group were Kinder Bailey, Chick Allison, Pete Bryan, Jim Allen, as well as several of his brothers and family, Walt Hearn, David Goff and Ollie Shields. It

would be nice if we could catch some of that enthusiasm from years ago in Bry-an’s Bowling Center.

On Wednesday, July 15, there will be a dinner, silent auction and fashion show at the Seaford Golf and Country Club to raise money for the Taylor Lowe Educa-tion Fund. Taylor is the one-year-old daughter of Amanda Lowe and the late Phillip Lowe who died with colon cancer last year.

The time is 5 p.m. and tickets for a good country club dinner are only $15. Call Ron Marvil for tickets and informa-tion at 629-8595. I urge you to attend for this great Laurel family.

I’m losing a lot of friends and acquain-tances of late as they pass on. It just goes with the territory of growing older. Mike Bickerton called me the other day to tell me of the passing of “Ollie” Shields of Laurel at age 73.

I liked “Ollie” and even though I was one of his former students and baseball players, he liked me. Of course “Ollie” liked everybody.

Ollie was born in Indiana, Pa., home of actor Jimmy Stewart. I don’t know who was more famous “Ollie” or Jimmy!

He was a high school math teacher in Laurel for more than 30 years and from there he went into other fields of teaching and accomplished so much in his life-time, including president of the Laurel Little League and a baseball coach

respected by all. I can see him now talk-ing a mile a minute as he pushed those glasses back onto the bridge of his nose. Usually he was talking about one of his beloved teams, the Pittsburg Pirates, Steelers or the Penguins hockey team. He passed that trait on to his boys and like Ollie, son Jeff is a big part of Laurel. Todd, the youngest, lives in Texas and Alan in Millsboro. When I saw Todd on July 4th, he asked me to mention his dad. He didn’t need to ask, it was in my plans.

Ollie had great respect and rapport with everyone even a 16-year-old bor-derline math student with an Irish name. I’ll always feel that a few more talks with “Ollie” would have converted him into a Phillies fan.

To wife Sandy and family: all Ollie’s former students and those he came in contact with - we share your loss.

Have a great week everyone and oh yes, one more great July 4th moment. Don Dykes, Chamber president comes over to the Chamber booth, “Pat I need you to help judge the hot dog eating con-test. Where’s my sunglasses? Back in a minute,” said Don.

He returned moments later still frus-trated looking for his sunglasses. “There they are Don, right on your head,” I said, as we both laughed uncontrollably. “You won’t tell this will you?, said Don.

“Nah!” I said.Now, where’s my cell phone?

...so many people gathered together, talking, smiling, and in general just hav-ing a good time.

Post 6 Patriots defeat Fox Post 2, 8-6, in Legion home contestBy Lynn Schofer

The Post 6 Patriots took the 8-6 win last Tuesday in a home game against Dover Fox Post 2. Korey Hearn was on the mound for the Patriots and was able to keep the game in the Patriots control through five innings.

Dover jumped out to an early lead in the top of the first inning but Seaford im-mediately answered with a run when Zack Reynolds scored on a wild pitch. Fox Post 2 put three more runs on the board in the top of the third but the Patriots took the lead again in the bottom of inning when the bats came alive with eight hits and six runs.

Dover nibbled at the Patriots’ lead in every inning. The biggest threat came in

the fifth inning when Hearn loaded the bases with two walks and a single. Hearn helped himself when he caught a pop up and threw it to Reynolds at shortstop for the double play which left the bases load-ed to end the inning.

In the sixth inning, Eric Sharff helped the Patriots seal the win with a home run measuring over 390 feet. Steve Sharff came on in relief and shut the Dover Fox Post down in the sixth and seventh in-nings.

For the Patriots Reynolds had three hits; Chris Cutsail and Sharff added two hits; and Tyler Ruark, Steve Sharff, Zach Schofer, Spencer Coulbourn, and Hunter Absher all added a hit. Hearn picked up the win, striking our five while allowing six runs on eight hits.

SGCC Gators swim team hosts Shawnee By Lynn Schofer

The Seaford Golf and Country Club Gators welcomed Shawnee Country Club to their waters last Monday evening for a swim meet. First year coach Whitney Pogwist had 44 members to fill numerous lanes throughout the night.

Coach Pogwist said her team is “small but mighty” when the Star interviewed her in a pre season story. On Monday night her team showed their strength and enthusiasm.

“These kids are amazing. They push themselves and I am so im-pressed by their amount of effort,” said Pogwist, who went on to say that most of her kids have to swim numerous events and they consis-tently either place or win. “You just wouldn’t believe the improvement in the swimmers from the first day of practice.”

Coach Pogwist said her team has worked on touches and turns and everything is beginning to come together. She is extremely happy with her team’s effort on Monday against the Shawnee Country Club.

“We swim against teams that have 70 or more kids on the roster,” Pogwist noted.

The Gators team is growing with the new coaching staff. “This is the first year we have six and under boys and girls to put in the lanes,” said Pogwist.

The Gator coaches hope the excitement will continue to grow and more children will join the team. See results from Monday’s meet on page 29.

Ricky Payne gets first Super Pro win at U.S. 13 DragwayBy Charlie Brown

When Ricky Payne of Salisbury took over the driving chores of Alan Bradford’s dragster about a month ago no one would have guessed that his learning curve would have been so quick. Payne defeated Don Teague of Newark to record his first win of 2009 last Friday night at U.S. 13 Dragway. Glenn Groton of Salisbury took his ’78 Ca-maro to the win in Pro and D.J. Lockwood of Berlin. rode to the win in Pro Bike.

Payne faced Teague in the Super Pro final. Payne was on his dial and took the win with a 7.887/168.35 on a 7.88 dial-in. Teague was too quick and broke out with an 8.772/153.79 on an 8.80 dial. Semi-finalists were point leader Danny Bastianelli of Georgetown and Mike Larkin of Salisbury.

The Pro final matched Groton and the always tough Jesse Truitt of Parsonsburg Groton took the hole shot win with an 11.967/108.08 on an 11.95 dial. Truitt ran a 9.471/139.40 on a 9.47 dial. Semi-finalist was Donald Jones of Glen Burnie, Md.

Lockwood rode up against James Farmer of Felton in the Pro Bike final. It was a heads up run as both riders dialed 9.12. Lockwood was a little quicker at the start and took the win with a 9.123/148.36. Farmer was off his dial just a bit with a 9.151/140.47. Semi-finalists were Jack Moore of Dover and Rob Webber of Salisbury.

Passwaters took her second win of the season in Street defeating Chelsea Williams of Seaford. Williams had a red light foul and Passwaters ran an 18.354/75.79 on an 18.15 dial. Tony Maddox had the better start in Import to defeat Jake Mash of Brid-geville. Maddox ran a 15.989/87.91 on an 15.80 dial. Mash had a 17.675/75.75 on a 17.91 dial. Evan Melson had the better reaction and defeated James Jenkins of Blades in the Bike Trophy. Melson ran a 9.921/124.13 on a 9.75 dial while Jenkins had a 10.832/130.22 on a 10.80 dial.

Jackson was paired against Alexis Truitt of Parsonsburg in the Jr. Dragster 1 final. Truitt left too early and fouled and Jackson got the win and was on his dial with an 8.944/71.68 on an 8.94 dial. It was a sister act in Jr. Dragster 2 with Shelby Bireley facing her older sister Rebecca Bireley. Rebecca had a red light foul and Shelby got the bragging rights with a 7.882/82.35 on a 7.90 dial.

Hitchens fails post race tech, Walls gets Crate Model winBy Charlie Brown

The caution was out before the first lap was in the books for the 15-lap Crate Model feature when Clint Chalabala and Kelly Putz crashed hard into the inside wall on the back straight. Chalabala was shaken but not injured.

Matt Hill led the first lap but spun in the second turn to bring out the yellow. Ryan Walls was the new leader with Chris Hitchens running a close second. Four more cautions in the first half of the race would keep the field tightly bunched. At the half-way point the top five were Walls, Hitchens, Tyler Reed, Amanda Whaley and Justin Breeding.

The second half of the race was caution free. Hitchens kept the pressure on Walls who lost his power steering with three to go. Hitchens made a smooth pass on the bot-tom side of turn two to take the lead with one to go. Mike Wilson made a late race charge and got by Whaley for third.

Hitchens took the checkered flag but the post race inspection found that a wire had come off on his two stage ignition resulting in his disqualification. Walls, in his R&J Poultry/Warrior, would get the win. Wilson finished in second with Whaley posting a personal best in third. Fourth went to Skip Syester (also a personal best) and Darin Henderson recovered from an early race spin to finish in fifth. Fourteen-year-old Amanda Whaley set fast time in qualifying.

Jamie Mills takes ‘Wings and Things’ win in Delaware ModifiedsBy Charlie Brown

Defending point champion, Jamie Mills bolted on some sideboards and cruised to the NAPA Big Block Modified win in Saturday night’s “Wings and Things” program at the Delaware International Speedway. Mills took the lead on lap four of the race and turned laps in the low 18 second range to dominate the event.

Craig Ott led the first lap before the yellow was out for both Bobby Watkins and Dana Walker. Ott held the lead on the restart but it was Norman Short, coming from fifth and taking the lead for lap three. Short’s lead only lasted for a lap as Mills came flat-footing it to the front from his 10th stating spot for lap four.

H.J. Bunting recovered from a near tangle on the first lap to come charging by both Jordan Watson and Short for second on lap seven. At the halfway sign the top five were Mills, Bunting, Jordan Watson, Matt Jester and Short.

The final yellow was out on lap 16 for Ott. Under the yellow Watson headed to the pits with the car smoking badly. On the restart, Bunting continued to chase Mills while Jester and Short swapped third.

Mills was able to open a comfortable lead to post the victory in the I.G. Burton Chevrolet/Bicknell. “I haven’t finished a race in the last three weeks so it’s real good to be here,” said Mills.

Bunting finished a solid second with Jester taking third. Fourth went to Short and Scott VanGorder rounded out the top five. Heats were won by Jester and Mills. Fast lap time was set by Mills in the heat with an 18.361.

Trice has wrong shocks, White gets AC Delco winBy Charlie Brown

It was the first time ever for the AC Delco Modifieds running side boards and wings. Westley Smith held the early lead and Kyle Fuller chased in second until Brad Trice took the spot for lap four.

Smith and Trice made contact in the second turn on lap six with Smith spinning and Michael White making light contact but continuing even though he had a flat left front tire. Trice was now the leader and at the halfway sign was followed by White, Tim Trimble, Fuller and Matt Hawkins in the top five.

Trice was able to pull away from the field while White worked to hold off the hard charging Trimble for second. Trice took the checkered but his shock absorbers did not pass the post race inspection and White, in his J&M Roofing/Teo was credited with the win. Trimble finished in second with Fuller third. Fourth went to Herman Powell and Hawkins rounded out the top five. Fast time in qualifying was set by Trice.

Staci Warrington takes second career win in Delaware Late ModelsBy Charlie Brown

Eighteen year-old Staci Warrington shook off some early season bad luck by win-ning the 20-lap Super Late Model “Wings & Things” feature last Saturday night at the Delaware International Speedway. Warrington had Plexiglas sideboard from nose to tail on her Warrington Construction Rocket which produced lap times in the low 17 second range.

The yellow was out before the first lap was complete as Ray Davis, Jr. and Richard Jarvis, Jr. tangle coming off the second turn. Warrington moved by pole sitter Barry Beauchamp on the restart and would never look back and the race would go caution free for the rest of the distance.

Warrington quickly shot away as Donald Lingo, Jr. working to take second from Beauchamp. Lingo got by Beauchamp for lap two but Warrington had already built about a 2.5 seconds lead.

By the halfway sign, Lingo was closing in on Warrington with Jarvis climbing back to third. Hal Browning ran in the fourth spot and Ray Davis, Jr. was back in fifth. Lin-go’s car started to get loose coming off the turns as Warrington remained flawless out front. Davis got by Browning for fourth but Browning regained the spot two laps later. With four laps to go Kerry King got by Davis to move into the top five.

Warrington continued to turn in a flawless drive and she posted her first win of the season and the second win of her career. Lingo finished in the second spot with Jarvis third. Fourth went to Browning and King rounded out the top five. Heats were won by Davis and Warrington. Lingo turned fast lap of the night with a 17.404 at 103.425 miles per hour.

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

A good start- The Little League all-star season started on a pretty strong note with Laurel once again winning the District 3 Minor League softball title with a victory over the solid team from Woodbridge.

Nanticoke advanced to the champi-onship game in Minor League baseball before being edged by Lewes. Both Nanticoke (baseball) and Woodbridge (softball) battled back in loser’s bracket play.

The all-star tournaments resume this week in Delaware, while the Maryland District 8 tournaments kicked off last week. The Pat Knight tournaments also began last week. Thanks to the Lau-rel Minor League baseball and Major League baseball coaches for submitting scores from those games.

Carpenter Cup- The Delaware South team, with players from through-out Sussex County took the Carpenter Cup Classic title last week. It was the second title for the team from the south in the tournament’s five-year history.

I had a chance to cover that first title in Philadelphia. Unfortunately (or for-tunately) I was unavailable to make the road trip this year, but congratulations to the team and our local players who were team members.

Wrigley Field- Well, I took ad-vantage of a break in the action in the District III tournaments to take a road trip. I know this will come as no shock to anyone who has read this column before, but I centered my trip around a few baseball games.

I went through a few sports related towns on my way to Chicago including Morgantown, W.Va. (WVU), Columbus, Ohio (Columbus Clippers), and Val-paraiso, Ind. (Valparaiso University).

I caught a couple games at Wrigley Field (one night and one day) and saw Derek Lee drive in seven runs in one game with a pair of home runs. The stadium was everything it is made out to be as was Chicago.

Luckily I didn’t have to try to find a parking spot in Wrigley’s residential neighborhood, I just hopped on the sub-way and rode right up the ballpark.

My third game was in Cleveland on July 4. Like the Cubs in both games I attended, the Indians picked up a win for the home crowd. Right before I hit the road for Cleveland I visited Sears Tower (shown above) but the sidewalk is about as close as I got to it, not a big fan of heights.

Ballpark characters part 2- Last year I visited Cleveland and wrote about the hot dog man at the Indians’ home field (Progressive, formerly known as Jacobs).

This time I got a little worried, but by the fifth inning I heard a familiar voice above the other vendors and the other ballpark noises. “Who wants a big old hot dog?”

Poor guy, not one taker. Another character at Progressive Field is the guy who sits atop the bleachers in the outfield (just under the scoreboard) and beats on the drum the whole game as the “Tribe” fans clap along to spur on their team.

Wrigley Field has a singing beer guy who sings random tunes as he pours beer. “Here is your cold beer, wait no beer, I need to see ID.”

The McKenzie Travis Educational Foundation recently announced the 2009 winners of the McK-enzie Travis College Softball Scholarship Fund.

The McKenzie Travis Scholarship Fund, estab-lished by John and Jody Travis in the memory of their daughter McKenzie who was killed in a car accident in 2006, provides financial assistance to college and college–bound female softball players throughout the nation.

Since its inception in 2006, when five scholar-ships were awarded, the METF has been able to increase annually the assistance it offers female ath-letes. This year’s fund was able to award 12 athletes $2,500 each in financial assistance.

In addition to being a member of a high school or college level softball team, scholarship eligibil-ity requirements include a minimum cumulative 2.5

G.P.A., participation in the Delaware Invitational Tournament, and exceptional community/volun-teer service. A non-biased committee aids in the selection of the scholarship recipients and the ideal candidates are well-rounded, charismatic and com-passionate.

Hastings presents researchPatricia Hastings of Laurel recently

presented “The Tragicomedy of Calisto & Melibea-Renaissance Intuition, Medieval Soul: A Literary Discussion” at the eighth annual Salisbury University Student Re-search Conference. The Tragicomedy of Calisto and Melibea, written by Fernando de Rojas at the end of 15th century Spain, is considered to be a classic piece of Cas-tilian literature, exemplifying the social transitions taking place in Spain as it en-tered the Renaissance. Hastings explained that although this tragicomedy does reach out towards the Renaissance, its medieval origins are strongly reflected in the preoc-cupation with magic and witchcraft and the deaths of nearly every character who acted in discord with traditional Christian doctrine.

Students named to Dean’s ListThe following students were named to

the Dean’s List for the spring semester at Virginia Tech: Autumn Visconti of Laurel, Daniel Flagg of Seaford and Kyle Johnston of Seaford.

Visconti is a senior majoring in land-scape architecture in the College of Architecture and Urban Studies; Flagg is a sophomore majoring in general en-gineering in the College of Engineering;

and Johnston is a senior majoring in hor-ticulture in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.

EducationSamsung Scholarship awarded

Sierra Spicer, a senior at Laurel High School, recently attended the Delaware American Regional Auxiliary Girls State Program, held at Wesley College. At the concluding banquet, she was awarded the Samsung Ameri-can Legion Scholarship of $1,000; and was named a national finalist, competing for a $20,000 scholarship. The presentation was made by Beverly Buchanan of Seaford, who served as the Girls State Coordinator. Samsung American Legion Scholarship Program is an award given to students who not only thrive in the classroom but outside as well through volunteer and com-munity involvement. Recipients of the Samsung American Legion Scholarship Program are typically committed and hard-working students. Considering these factors, the Samsung American Legion Scholarship Program applica-tion process is competitive and the title prestigious.

In order to be considered for the Samsung American Legion Scholar-ship Program, students must fill out an application. Also, students apply-ing for the Samsung American Legion Scholarship Program may be required to write an essay, interview, or provide letters of recommendation. By enforc-ing such rigorous process, the quali-fications of the Samsung American Legion Scholarship Program recipient are superb.

Recipients of the Samsung Ameri-can Legion Scholarship Program can

use the scholarship at either public or private institutions. Whether the Sam-sung American Legion Scholarship Program is used for purposes of paying tuition or room and board is entirely up to the recipient. Because of this flex-ibility, the student determines where the funds would be best utilized from the Samsung American Legion Schol-arship Program.

Sierra Spicer is the daughter of Brad and Joy Spicer of Laurel

Price comparison average for Regular Unleaded Gasoline

7/5/09 Week Ago Year Ago

National $2.62 $2.64 $4.10Delaware $2.60 $2.64 $4.03

Gas LinesPrices continue to drop

In contrast to this time last year, mo-torists who hit the road for the Indepen-dence Day weekend were greeted by a continued decline in prices at the pump.

For 11 consecutive days, gas prices have decreased, bringing motorists’ wal-lets much-needed relief.

The average U.S. retail price for regular grade gasoline dropped to $2.63 a gallon on Friday, down 3 cents from a week ago, but still $1.48 below the re-cord price of $4.114 set last July.

Crude oil pricingAfter peaking at $73.38 on Tuesday,

June 30, in intraday trading, crude oil fell below the $70 mark to settle at $66.73 at the close of trading Thursday (the NYMEX floor was closed Friday, July 3, in observance of the Fourth of July holiday).

The price of crude oil on Monday and Tuesday of this week was $64.

A bigger than expected rise in U.S. gasoline stockpiles pushed oil markets

down later in the week. The Energy Information Admin-

istration (EIA) reported U.S. crude oil stocks fell 3.7 million barrels to

350.2 million barrels, against a forecast for a downturn of 2.0 mil-

lion barrels.

Gasoline stockpilesU.S. gasoline stockpiles rose 2.3

million barrels to 211.1 million barrels, above the forecast for a 1.9 million bar-rel increase.

The EIA also reported U.S. gasoline demand fell 5.8% in June, compared to year-ago levels.

The decline in demand supports the notion that 2009 demand is flat to 2008 levels.

In other industry reports, the Ameri-can Petroleum Institute (API) reported domestic crude stocks fell 6.8 million barrels to 349.7 million barrels and gasoline stocks rose 209,000 barrels.

Local pricingOn Tuesday one station in Seaford

was selling regular gasoline for $2.439 a gallon, down one cent from a week ago.


Enjoy these three tasty dishes featuring cherriesSitting down to munch on a

bowl of roses might not sound too appealing but when the rose vari-ety is the cherry, the complexion changes quite a bit and with more than 900 varieties, cherries do in-deed come in many colors, flavors and degrees of sweetness.

Bing cherries, the ones we most often see in supermarkets are dark red; Ranier cherries are yellow with a pink blush and can be found locally at some produce stands.

Some later varieties are dark black. Morellos are sour and good for baking and making jam.

All varieties can be found in dried form for baking and cooking in sauces.

Nutritionally, cherries pack a wallop. With only 85 calories in one cup, cherries also have lots of fiber and vitamin C and are also high in anti-oxidants that fight inflammation.

When shopping, look for cherries that have a bright color with no wrinkles. Store them in the fridge and wash just before using.

They should keep about a week.Try the classic and yummy Cherries

Jubilee or take a chance on one of the more unusual recipe uses for this rosy fruit.

Cherries Jubilee4 servings • 1 pint vanilla ice cream• 1 pound fresh, ripe sweet cherries,

such as Bing• 1/2 cup sugar• 1 lemon• 1/3 cup golden rum Evenly scoop the ice cream into 4

dishes or decorative glasses and put in the freezer until ready to serve (this can be done up to 4 hours ahead).

Wash and pit the cherries. Put the cherries and sugar in a large skillet. Peel 2 strips of zest from the lemon in wide strips with a peeler and add to the cher-ries. Squeeze the juice of half the lemon over the top. Stir to combine evenly. Cov-er and cook the cherries over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves, about 4

minutes. Uncover and cook over medium-high until cherries get juicy, about 5 min-utes more.

To flambé the rum: If cooking over a gas flame, pull the pan off the heat and add the rum. Ignite the alcohol with a long match or one held with tongs. Swirl the pan slightly until the flames subside, about 30 seconds.

If cooking over an electric stove, put the rum in a small sauce pan. Warm it over medium-low heat and carefully light it with a long match or one held with tongs. Pour the lit rum over the cherries, and swirl the pan lightly until the flames subside, about 30 seconds.

Ladle the cherries and their juices over prepared ice cream scoops. Serve imme-diately.

Pork Medallions with Cherry Sauce4 servings • 1 1/4 pounds pork tenderloin, sliced

into 1/2-inch thick medallions• 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided• 1/4 teaspoon pepper• 3 teaspoons olive oil, divided• 2 tablespoons chopped shallots• 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar• 1/4 cup dried tart cherries Season the pork medallions with 1/4

teaspoon of salt and pepper. Heat 2 tea-spoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over a medium-high heat and cook the meat until there is just a slight blush in the cen-ter about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the meat to a plate and tent with foil.

Add the remaining teaspoon of oil and the shallots to the pan and sauté until they begin to soften, about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, the re-maining 1/4 teaspoon of salt and the cher-ries and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour the sauce over the pork medallions and serve.

Peaches with Balsamic CherriesServes 4• 1/2 pound cherries, halved and pitted • 2 tablespoons sugar, plus more to

taste • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar• 1 pound peaches, sliced In a small saucepan, stir together the

cherries, sugar and balsamic vinegar, and place over a medium heat. Bring to a boil and continue to cook for 5 minutes, stir-ring occasionally.

Boys & Girls Clubs compete for the title of the ‘Wackiest Chair’

Watch the world of art come to life for many of our young people as their home Boys & Girls Club competes for the title of “Ellen’s Wacky Chair Champion.”

Young people from select Boys & Girls Clubs in Delaware and Maryland, along with local artists, will compete for a chance to have their “Wacky Chair” creation seen on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, while raising money to support local Boys & Girls Clubs and the Biggs Museum.

“The Delaware State Fair is very excited to work with WMDT, the Boys & Girls Clubs, the Biggs Museum, and Tyndall’s Casual Furniture on this once in a lifetime opportunity. We hope that this project will open the world of art to the children and allow them to be as cre-ative as they can when developing their artwork based on the theme ‘Be Great at the Delaware State Fair,’” said Danny Aguilar, assistant general manager and director of marketing.

Members of the community are en-

couraged to vote for their favorite chair online beginning July 11.

The first vote for their favorite chair will be free, each subsequent vote will cost $1 and all proceeds will go directly to the Boys & Girls Clubs and the Biggs Museum.

One winner will be selected from all online votes and will receive two tickets to the Ellen DeGeneres Show including airfare and hotel accommodations.

The chairs will also be on display at various locations throughout Delaware from July 10–20 and at the Delaware State Fair from July 23–Aug. 1 in the 4H & FFA Building before moving to the Biggs Museum in Dover for the month of August.

At the end of August, a winning chair will be chosen.

I guess the older I get the more I realize that I grew up in a different era; much different than today’s. I never thought about it, because it was only about 40 years ago. I al-ways thought my mother and father and their parents truly grew up in “a different era,” but not me.

Oh sure there was the outhouse and no running hot water or air con-ditioning. There was also the black and white television with only one channel. But these were things that I grew up with and never knew as be-ing anything unusual. It is all I knew.

But, I think the thing that I really find separates my days as a child from today’s lifestyle was the closeness of our neighbor-hood. It was almost intrusive actually. Let me take that back, it was intrusive. Every-body in our neighborhood knew each other’s most intimate activities. The worst of it was that what they did not know for sure, I think they made up. You have to remember, there was only one station on the television and most people in my neighborhood were lucky to even have a television, so entertainment was in great demand.

Little went on with me and my brothers that was not monitored and immediately reported to my parents by neighbors situated within window’s view of my yard and ex-tended areas. It was something akin to house arrest.

But, there were also the exchanges in services that went on between families in my Richardson Avenue neighborhood. For instance, we went to one of our neighbor’s homes across the filed, “Miss Dot’s,” and got rainwater from her indoor cistern, as well as bought fresh eggs. We used the rain-water mostly for making coffee because Dad felt it made the best tasting coffee.

We actually continued this when we moved to a new home in Marion Station a number of years later. Dad bought a large plastic trash can and put it under the rain gutter of the house to catch fresh rainwater for coffee.

Another of our next door neighbors, “Miss Addie,” had no refrigerator; she only had a box with a block of ice. She would bring her lunch meat and a few other items that needed to be kept cold over to put in our refrigerator and then come back as she needed to use the food.

Miss Addie would also come over at night and sit with my grandmother in the guise of keeping her company. I am not sure that was the actual intent as Miss Ad-die would routinely fall asleep sitting in the chair next to grand mom within the first few

minutes of arriving. Grand mom, who was blinded by eye tumors, knew when Miss Addie would fall asleep because she could hear her snoring. But, like clockwork, Miss Addie would come back to visit Grand mom the next night and share with her how she had not gotten any sleep the night before.

I do recall a major testing of the friend-ship bond between neighbors came when Miss Addie came over to retrieve her pickle loaf lunch meat from our refrigerator to make a sandwich for lunch. The pickle loaf was missing and a grand inquisition ensued. What today seems like a minor issue took on massive emotional frustrations.

My older brother Tommy only ate bo-logna and hated the thought of any meat that would contain bits of pickles and who knows what else. My younger brother Jeff was not even eating solid food at that point. To make matters worse my mother was acutely aware that I absolutely loved pickle loaf lunchmeat. So, suffice to say, all eyes fell on me immediately. I was greatly perse-cuted over the alleged theft of the pickle loaf lunch meat.

So great was the circumstantial evidence against me, that I even started thinking that I possibly stole the pickle loaf in my sleep.

I think Mom bought Miss Addie another package of pickle loaf and made great apologies I am sure about the “greedy little heathen” who could not respect the sanctity of someone else’s pickle loaf.

It was a very emotional experience for me realizing that there was no way to prove my innocence. Back in those days there was no such thing as DNA testing. However, just a few days later I received my relief when while cleaning and defrosting the refrigera-tor, Mom pulled out one of the meat trays and down in the lower rear part of the refrig-erator was Miss Addie’s missing package of pickle loaf.

There is little more satisfying than the at-tention and adoration you received once you have been wrongly accused by your elders of a wrongdoing. It was more than worth the emotional strain of being wrongly accused.


Little went on with me and my brothers that was not monitored and immediately reported to my parents.

Crash claims life of Seaford teenDelaware State Police are investigating

a crash that took the life of a 17-year-old Seaford male on July 1 at 4:20 p.m. on Lewes Georgetown Highway east of SR 5.

Keyshawn Purnell, 17, was driving a 1997 Ford Taurus on SR 9 eastbound. Vincent Mosher, 39, of Salisbury, Md., was driving a 2002 Ford Explorer west-bound on SR 9 approaching the Taurus.

For an unknown reason, the Taurus exited the south edge of the roadway. Pur-nell overcorrected and crossed back onto SR 9 and then in to the path of westbound traffic. The front end of the Ford Explorer struck the passenger side of the Taurus and both vehicles came to rest in the grass median.

Purnell, who was not wearing a seat belt, was pronounced dead at the scene as a result of injuries he sustained in the crash. Mosher, who was wearing a seat

belt, was transported to Peninsula Re-gional Medical Center where he is being treated for non-life threatening injuries.

It is unknown if alcohol was a factor at the time of the crash. The investigation is ongoing.

Man arrested for sexual assault State troopers have arrested Daniel

Webber, a 26-year-old Smyrna man, for sexual assault against an 11-year-old girl after police received a complaint from the Division of Family Services.

The investigation began when the Division of Family Services received a complaint that the 11-year-old victim told a school counselor that she didn’t want to be around Webber because he hurt her. DFS officials interviewed the victim, the victim’s mother and Webber, but did not find any credible evidence. Webber is a close friend of the family and cares for the victim after school.

On June 27, DFS received a report of an older male kissing a young girl on the lips at the beach. In addition, the report indicated another couple was with the man and the young girl. The eyewitness was able to provide a registration number to a car that the four drove off in. DFS began a joint investigation with the state police and it was learned that the vehicle belonged to Webber.

Troopers executed a search warrant of Webber’s home and collected evidence linking him to the sexual assault against the child. Troopers also learned the vic-tim’s mother was one of the individuals present on the day Webber and the victim were spotted on the beach.

Troopers charged Webber with three counts of first degree rape, four counts of second degree rape and numerous counts of endangering the welfare of a child. The victim’s mother was also charged with endangering the welfare of a child for not disclosing the inappropriate activity.

Toddler dies in LewesState police are investigating the ac-

cidental death of a 3-year-old girl which occurred on Thursday, July 5.

State police were called to the Tall Pines Mobile Home Park west of Lewes after 9 p.m. The little girl was eating grapes with other family members when one became lodged in her throat. She lost consciousness and family members called 911. Sussex County paramedics arrived along with a state trooper and began pro-viding first aid. While the girl was trans-

ported to Beebe Medical Center, medics were able to dislodge the grape, however, upon arrival at the medical facility, the child died.

The Medical Examiner’s Office is con-ducting a follow-up investigation.

Crash involving fire truckDelaware State Police are investigating

a crash involving a Lewes fire truck that occurred on July 4 at 9 a.m.

The truck was responding to a crash on SR 1 with its emergency equipment on as it approached Old Orchard Road. Jane Hicks, 72, Lewes, was driving a 2007 Lincoln Town car on Old Orchard and had come to a stop. Hicks was attempting to turn left on to Savannah Road when she pulled in front of the fire truck. The fire truck broadsided her vehicle resulting in the crash.

Some debris from the crash damaged a car that was waiting to turn onto Old Or-chard Road from Savannah Road.

Hicks, who was taken to Beebe Hos-pital in Lewes where she was treated for minor injuries, was charged with failing to yield the right of way. The driver of the fire truck was identified as Troy Virden, 35, of Lewes.

Crash kills two Milford teensDelaware State Police are investigating

a crash that killed two 17-year-olds from Milford.

The crash happened on Sunday, July 5 at 4 p.m. when Matthew Fluman, 20,

of Harrington, was driving a 2000 Jeep Cherokee north on Jenkins Pond Road. Fluman failed to yield the right of way at a stop sign and was struck on the passenger side by a 2006 Ford F250 pickup truck driven by Charles Walls, 66, of Milford. The pickup truck was traveling westbound on Thompsonville Road.

As a result of the crash, two passengers, Brittany Bradley and Anthony Burton, who were riding in the Jeep Cherokee operated by Fluman, were killed. Bradley was seated in the front passenger seat and Burton was seated in the rear passenger side of the Jeep. Both were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash.

Change is a given in the life of each of us. Some of the changes we experience hap-pen and we never give the change a second thought. Other changes require special con-sideration on the part of each of us.

A special change occurred on July 1 at the Laurel Public Library, a change that involves a soft-spoken woman with a ready smile, a woman who actually has roots here on the Eastern Shore.

Wendy Roberts has been hired as the new library director of the complex, located at 101 East Fourth Street, that recently had a $4 million addition to the original library built in memory of Mary Wooten Carpenter in 1951.

In December of 2008, Harriet Jarosh re-tired as director of the Laurel library and the Board of Commissioners began an extensive search for a new director.

Since December, Wenona Phillips, Re-becca Norton and Norma Jean Fowler have handled the daily life of the library and patrons assisted by a group of part-time em-ployees and others who support the Laurel library.

In talking with Wendy last week, her first comments were that the community be made aware of the outstanding job the staff has done to keep the library and all of the services offered viable in the community. “These women, along with the Friends of the Library and the commissioners, have done a tremendous job, and I can’t thank them enough.” Wendy is no stranger to life here on “the shore.” Although she and her husband, Butch, a retired history teacher, moved here from Michigan, she grew up in the Easton, Md., area, where her grandpar-ents lived on Travelers Rest Farm.

She has considerable experience in management within the library system, and worked as assistant to the director at Park School in Baltimore before moving to Michigan. She earned a master of library and information service degree from Wayne State University, holds a master degree in fine arts from Vermont College, a bachelors degree from Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore and taught art in Maryland and Michigan.

She and her husand are “delighted to be here in Laurel and we look forward to having our two sons, two daughters and five grandchildren visit us here. Some will be here for the Fourth of July parade and festivities.” She exclaimed, “We can hardly

wait to show them our new home and the Laurel Library.”

“I feel so very welcomed here in Laurel,” she commented. “The community and our neighbors have greeted us in such a friendly way already.”

Her first official day as director was on July 1. She has nothing but absolute praise for the programs now going on at the library, and wants to increase community service and participation by residents.

She feels the library should be the center of the hub for the community, a place for education as well as recreation.

Programs offered by the Laurel library in-clude the summer reading program with 100 young people already involved, an active teen program, the Friends of the Library, a genealogical study program that is outstand-ing, the Sussex County Library Commis-sion, a knitting group that meets regularly, a community room that is available for local groups to use, computers, magazines, newspapers, a quiet room to just sit and read, research assistance, and books on every sub-ject from A to Z.

May Laurelites well remember the days of the “old library,” where silence was the key word. Hushed tones were required when speaking. As time went by, more services were offered to the public and the Laurel li-brary now has the distinction of being one of the best facilities in the State of Delaware.

Wendy Roberts’ enthusiasm for the Lau-rel library is contagious. Immediately upon meeting her, I knew the commissioners had found the right woman to guide the library.

Moggie Moyer, commissioner who sat in on the interview, emphasized that an open house/reception to welcome Wendy Roberts and her husband, Butch, to the community will be held form 7 to 9 p.m. on July 22.

Patrons will have no difficulty spotting Wendy. She will be the one extending a hand of greeting, the one with a broad smile welcoming one and all.

Joe Elliott of Northern N.J. was a recent weekend visitor to his mother, M.L., and his brother, David, from Milton joined in to make it a true family get-together. During this time, Joe went to Wilmington to a party hosted by Robert Youri which was also at-tended by some former Laurel “boys,” Alex Alvarez and Dr. Gary Owens. We also want to wish Joe a very happy birthday on July 10, and hope there will be many more to celebrate. Meantime, Mark Elliott of Tampa, Fla. is sending his wife, Rose, up to visit his mother here on July 9, for a week.

Students from the Laurel Kids Connection Mentor Program, an initiative of D.A.P.I., went on a student field trip to the University of Delaware last Thursday, as part of the ca-reer planning of the Mentor Program.

If you had drawn up a blueprint for a per-fect day, it could not have been more so than it was last Saturday for the parade and other holiday events. I had a great seat at Kim and Duke Parkers on the Central Avenue side and really enjoyed those holiday scrapple sand-wiches which Duke so generously serves his guests. My family (and I) finished off the day pickin’ crabs brought by our friends the Car-trights from Hoopers Island. All told it was a great day for everyone, anywhere around.

Happy birthday to Billie Jane Wheatley, wherever she may be on July 15. Best ever, B.J.

As we express our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Oliver Shields I would like to add that Jeff called me and asked that I express the family’s thanks for the prompt and caring response from the Laurel firemen, E.M.T.’s and police who aided them in the emergency for Oliver on June 29. It was deeply appreciated.

We also express our sympathy to the fam-ily and friends of: Peggy Jean Hastings.

Letters to the EditorAbuse of freedom of speech

I was driving on Stein Highway on the evening of July 4th. I have a bumper sticker “Proud to be a Democrat.”

All at once I noticed a big red SUV not a foot behind my back bumper and I mentioned to my guests, a couple from Syracuse, NY, that this big SUV was mak-ing me nervous.

Right then, the driver swerved and came up next to my car. He began yelling out his open window, “You stupid Demo-crat” and then he spurted the name of the President of the United States, the “F” word and one of my body parts.

He then sped up and drove away. My guests were flabbergasted and I was about in tears. I am a native of Delaware and love my little, beautiful state. I am certain the story of this happening will be repeated to many persons in Upstate NY and it will not reflect favorably upon Seaford.

I am ashamed of that, but it was the 4th of July. It was the birthday of our country where freedom of speech, even obscene bigotry, is guaranteed by our Constitution.

Schell brothers are DelawareansIn the June 29th edition of the News

Journal, Denis McGlynn, the illustrious chairman of Dover Downs, wrote one of the most transparent and misleading arti-cles I have read in a long time. There is no doubt that his obvious fear of significant competition is the reason for his malicious attempt to discredit the Schell brothers (Preston and Chris) and their proposed plans to make Sussex County a special, gambling destination by way of their Del-Pointe project.

Mr. McGlynn, in his insipid attack, deviously attempts to portray the Schell brothers as California carpet baggers and money hungry interlopers. Frankly, noth-ing irritates me more, when someone like McGlynn, with an obviously, avaricious agenda, takes a malicious shot at decent, hard-working people by misrepresenting the facts to hopefully gain an unfair advan-tage. As someone who is in the know, I refuse to let that happen!

Having read and digested Mr. McG-lynn’s vitriolic hype, here is the real story folks as I know it. The Bennett family (my family) has been involved in the maritime industry as Delaware River Pilots - fa-ther to son, including me - since before the revolutionary war. Likewise, Preston and Chris Schell have similar anteced-ents in the Pilot business going back to the 1700’s. Names like Marshall on their grandmother’s side and Schell on their father’s reflect old Pilot families steeped in

Delaware tradition. I grew up with Joe Schell (from Wilm-

ington), Chris and Preston’s father. Like my parents, Joe Schell’s parents had a house on Lewes Beach. Since we were small children, we spent our summers to-gether fishing, crabbing, sailing, playing touch football and capture the flag. Joe attended Tatnall School in Wilmington and I went to St. Andrews. Our schools competed against each other in sports. I’m a Delawarean, born and raised in this state, as was Joe Schell. After college, I became a Delaware River Pilot and Joe Schell got a job in California and became a multi-millionaire.

Identical twins Preston and Chris Schell attended secondary school in California (because that’s where their dad worked), but every summer since they were tod-dlers, returned to Lewes Beach to the Schell’s family summer home. Preston and Chris served honorably on the Reho-both Beach patrol with my son Walter for three consecutive summers. For those of you who don’t know, the Rehoboth Beach Patrol is a proud organization steeped in Delaware tradition.

After college and graduate school, the brothers both became year round residents of Sussex County, are now married and raising their own families. They own and operate a very successful construction company and have produced some extraor-dinary developments. They are not by any means carpet baggers or interlopers as Mr. McGlynn suggests; they are Delawareans. Furthermore, my old friend Joe Schell (their father) is now also a full-time resi-dent of Lewes Beach.

Let me tell you some other things I know. Preston Schell is the founder and vice chairman of the Sussex County Land Trust that has preserved over 5,200 acres in Delaware. Preston and Chris person-ally, and through their various companies, have given over $1 million dollars to this Land Trust. The Schell family has given and raised over $4 million for the Lewes Canal Front Park. Additionally, thousands of dollars have been donated by these folks to numerous charities including The Children’s Beach House, Delaware Food Bank, Habitat for Humanity, United Way, and the Nature Conservancy just to name a few. Of further interest, Chris Schell sits on the University of Delaware’s Board of Regents, a rare honor for any Delawarean. To speculate on McGlynn’s diatribe - Cali-fornia Interlopers? I think not; they seem like Delawareans to me.

If going to school in California some-how makes Preston and Chris Schell Cali-fornians, then I question what one has to do to be a Delawarean in Mr. McGlynn’s opinion?

I suggest that Mr. McGlynn does some

proper research before he labels anybody again. Furthermore, I fully intend to check out his roots to determine if he should indeed be the chairman of Dover Downs based on his own ludicrous criteria. Per-haps then the real interloper will be ex-posed.

AARP to plug ‘doughnut hole’It is estimated that one million older

Americans may fall into the “doughnut hole,” the coverage gap in Medicare’s pre-scription drug program which makes indi-viduals responsible for all their own drug costs while still paying premiums. AARP has created a new online resource to help people better understand and avoid this po-tential coverage gap.

The AARP Doughnut Hole Calculator, available at www.aarp.org/doughnuthole, guides visitors through prescription drug options and helps them determine if, or when, they will fall into the coverage gap. They will be able to see a graph of month-ly spending, research lower cost drugs for certain conditions, and create a medication record for their doctor.

This is all part of AARP’s Health Ac-tion Now campaign to work with Congress to close the doughnut hole and lower prescription drug prices so that no one has to split their pills or discontinue their medication. With this new calculator, some immediate relief may be possible for senior citizens facing high prescription drug costs.

Moral authority rests with GodA recent editorial discussing the issue

of sports betting and gambling concluded with the statement, “You can’t dictate mo-rality.”

I respectfully take issue with this statement, a statement which I believe is seriously misguided and contributes to many of our societal ills. The term moral-ity comes from the Latin “moralitas” and means “character or proper conduct.” The basis of morality is determined by one’s understanding of right and wrong. Those things an individual or society deem to be right are considered moral and those things which are deemed wrong are considered immoral.

Morality is not an abstract or relative concept, but a fundamental building block for the individual life as well as the life of society as a whole. Morality governs every facet of our lives. In fact, morality is so

foundational to human existence that gov-ernments throughout history have found it necessary to dictate or legislate morality.

Author C.S. Lewis, wrote that “…if no set of moral ideas were truer or better than any other, there would be no sense in preferring civilized morality to savage morality, or Christian morality to Nazi morality.”

He continues, “The moment you say that one set of moral ideas is better than another, you are, in fact measuring them both by a standard.”

Whether we are willing to admit it or not, we all do this every day. As Lewis would later observe, “Human beings, all over the earth, have this curious idea that they ought to behave in a certain way, and can’t really get rid of it.”

Consider for a moment our use of that word “ought.” What gives you the right to tell me that I “ought” to do something? On what basis? Your own moral author-ity? What makes your moral authority any higher than my own? It doesn’t. Therein lies the problem. As Lewis explained our morality must be based upon something outside of ourselves, otherwise it is simply an opinion absent of any real authority.

So again, whose morality do we dic-tate? How and upon what authority do we determine right and wrong? These are the questions we all must consider. I propose to you that moral authority rests with God.

He has placed a moral law within the human heart to point us to Himself. The very presence of a moral law indicates the existence of a lawgiver who is the objec-tive or absolute standard of all morality.

In closing, let me encourage you to read the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Romans in the Bible. Notice how often God’s re-lationship with mankind is described in legal terms. You will quickly discover that while morality and law serve a practical purpose in governing the earthly affairs of men, their primary purpose is to act as road signs pointing us to God, the divine lawgiver, His expectations for us, and His provision of salvation through Jesus Christ for us, the lawbreakers.

The moral law is one of the many ways God has made Himself and His expecta-tions known to us, and we are all respon-sible for this revelation.

As the Apostle Paul said, “They (mankind) demonstrate that God’s law is written in their hearts, for their own con-science and thoughts either accuse them or tell them they are doing right. And this is the message I proclaim — that the day is coming when God, through Christ Jesus, will judge everyone’s secret life.”

Woodland ferry will be back in service soon, maybe this week

By the time you are reading this the Woodland ferry may be back in service, or maybe not.

Meadows Hydraulics began work on repairing the thrusters on June 17 and has advised it is approximately a four-week lead time to complete all repairs and re-install the units, DelDOT spokesperson Tina Shockley said Monday.

However, Meadows and DelDOT will do everything possible to complete the ef-fort with in a three-week period, Shockley added.

According to the more optimistic time estimate, the ferry could be making its vis-its shore to shore this week. Everyone is hoping for the return of the ferry.

The new, six-car ferry replaced the old three-car ferry, which was 46 years old. Locals are hopeful that the ferry is opera-tional for the Woodland Ferry Festival, set for Sept. 12.

Looks like we’re slow learners“The budget should be balanced, the

Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of of-ficialdom should be tempered and con-trolled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.

US Prisons for TerroristsListened to the President’s speech re-

cently. If you want to petition the federal government to build a maximum security prison in Sussex County to house terrorists from Quantanamo, I will support your ef-fort. I’m sure it can be funded with stimu-lus money.

How to Train a CatOur young daughter had adopted a stray

cat. To my distress, he began to use the back of our new sofa as a scratching post. “Don’t worry,” my husband reassured me. “I’ll have him trained in no time.”

I watched for several days as my hus-band patiently “trained” our new pet. Whenever the cat scratched, my husband deposited him outdoors to teach him a les-son.

The cat learned quickly. For the next 16 years, whenever he wanted to go outside, he scratched the back of the sofa.

Seaford proceeding with $2.7 million water improvement projectsSeaford Mayor Ed Butler and City Manager Dolores Slatcher hold a check representing

the money that will be spent on some water improvement projects in the city.Voters in June approved the city’s plan to borrow $2.7 million for improvements to its

water system. A little more than half of the total debt, $1.4 million, will be paid by the federal government through the economic stimulus package.

The project will improve the water systems in two areas: in Westview, the community near West Seaford Elementary School and the intersection of Sussex Avenue and Stein Highway; and along Bridgeville Highway, from Herring Run Road to Dutton Avenue. The city wants to replace water mains and to install water loops, eliminating dead end pipes where water sits. Photo by Daniel Richardson
