In case you do not know it, 1987Laurel High graduate Scott Sheridan ishaving a summer of memories most ofus can only dream about.

Sheridan is the trainer of thePhiladelphia Phillies, currently threegames out of the division lead in theNational League East. The baseballteam has done this despite a rash ofinjuries unheard of in professionalsports — and that’s where this LaurelHigh School graduate comes in. Hehas become the team’s “MVT” —

most valuable trainer.Scott played Little League baseball

and other sports while growing up inLaurel and on the high school teamwas a curve-balling, left-handed pitch-er. He also played on the Bulldogs1986 championship football team,under coach Mike Norton, a memorySheridan cherishes.

It was during those football days,particularly in 1985, that the founda-tion for Sheridan’s career in sportsmedicine was launched. Chip Venableshad a wrist fracture and Sheridan wasvery interested in the treatment of the

injury and the rehab that followed, toget the player back on the field. Heeven visited A.I. DuPont Hospital forchildren, Wilmington, where manysports injuries are treated, withVenables.

“That’s pretty cool,” thoughtSheridan, not knowing that a career insports medicine was to follow. But fol-low it did, as Sheridan graduated fromWest Chester University in 1991, witha bachelor of science degree in athletictraining.

He went to work at Chester County

Despite a downturn in housing salesnationwide, some pockets of the countryhaven’t felt the pinch yet, including west-ern Sussex County.

George Farnell, real estate broker withCallaway, Farnell and Moore, Inc., hasseen good times come and go over theyears but he said that published regionalor national sales figures don’t necessarilyreflect the local market. “It’s still a goodtime to buy property.”

Gordon-Ramey of Tull Ramey Century21 agreed, “We’re down 2 percent,” hesaid, “August is a notoriously slow time –same thing in December – for sales but itwon’t slow down in settlements.” Peoplewho have purchased a property are eagerto settle and move in.

“The market's been steady and willcontinue to be steady. There is pent-up de-mand,” he said. He acknowledged that thenational trends might be affecting out-of-towners who face some difficulty gettingtheir equity out of property in urban mar-kets hit by the market downturn, but saidthese folks still want to buy in Sussex.

“We sense a little pick up in the mar-ket,” Farnell said, reeling off sales figuresfor the past few months. “People whowork in the area still need homes to livein.”

In fact, he predicted that sales at thebeach will pick up in the next six to ninemonths, but even sooner on the westernside of the county. Western Sussex is agrowing area attracting businesses as wellas homebuyers.

Rob Harmon, president of the SussexCounty Association of Realtors and a part-ner in Home Team Realty, told MorningStar Publications recently that while resi-dential sales did drop a bit in the winter,this is seasonal and expected. It was justexaggerated by the hot market the previ-ous year. Harmon called it “a market cor-rection.”

“Commercial real estate,” Harmon said,“just continued to pick up steam. WesternSussex is going through an explosion incommercial development following aboom in residential sales,” he said, point-ing to the opening of Big Lots, which tookover the vacant Ames building. There’salso a Lowe’s and a Super Wal-Mart.

He’s also noticed that, over time, whatmakes a prime commercial location haschanged. Not all that long ago, entrepre-

neurs shied away from U.S. 13 fearingthat customers would not want to fight thetraffic. But the American love affair withthe automobile has changed that – now theavailability of free, convenient parkingpulls retail customers away from tradition-al commercial centers.

Still, smaller venues such as Starbucksand other storefront enterprises are pop-ping up in Sussex County because “nowwe have the rooftops to qualify.”

Harmon explained, “we have alwayshad good traffic going through,” whichsupports particular businesses such asfood, gas and lodging. Other businessesrequire a resident customer base and mustlocate close to customers – sometimesthat’s downtown.

Farnell said that the western side of thecounty is a very different market from theresort area because of factors that havemoderated the effects of major swings inthe market.

For one thing, developers built a verysmall number of investment properties ascompared to the resort area where build-ing boomed in anticipation of rising prop-erty prices. Local builder/developers tendto build one or a few properties at a time.

Developers in resort areas up and downthe coast got caught up in the housingboom and now may have to sit on their in-ventory until consumer confidence returns.

High priced resort properties attractedspeculators who anticipated properties toappreciate quickly. “Those who got in ear-ly enjoyed very nice profits,” he said.Some who jumped in late have lost theirequity as prices dropped.

Farnell said that buyers looking for ahouse to live in should feel confident. Be-cause they are not purchasing a propertyto rent or re-sell quickly and plan to livethere for a while, they will see their in-vestment appreciate. Starter homes arenow priced in the $190,000 range.

Retirement buyers attracted to the west-ern side would like to retire where theyare “within striking distance of the beach”but also remain in an area not too far fromrelatives and friends in Baltimore orPhiladelphia.

Harmon said residential sales haveshifted from new construction stage into a“better value” stage. Whether new or ex-isting houses – in all price ranges – thesale depends on whether the property hasthat “something special” the prospectivehome buyer is looking for.

RReeaall eessttaattee ssaalleess iinn wweesstteerrnnSSuusssseexx rreessiisstt nnaattiioonnaall ttrreenndd

Right now, babyboomers are major real es-tate customers. In fact,baby boomers are majorconsumers of almost every-thing from automobiles tohealth care because thereare more of them and theyare at or near retirementage. That translates into apreference for houses witha first floor bedroom suite.

He said that buyers whofind a house they just lovealways think that this is thelast home they’ll buy. Withbaby boomers it may be.

Homebuyers who fit thisdemographic have futurehealth considerations inmind, for aging parents orthemselves. Those with im-paired mobility may con-sider new construction toobtain a residence withhandicapped accessible fea-tures such as a shower thatworks for someone in awheel chair – something tokeep in mind when buildingor remodeling.

Western Sussex remainsattractive to retirement buy-ers coming from nearby ge-ographic regions with high-er wages, property valuesand taxes.

They have more pur-chasing power here. Theycan get more house fortheir dollar and lower taxes.Their purchasing power canalso force prices up for lo-cal buyers.

“There’s no economicreason why the market isnot stronger than it is,” hesaid. But at the present, res-idential sales reflect moreof a local market and thathas selling prices down.

First-time homebuyersin this area don’t generallyhave an income that willsupport purchasing a prop-erty that costs more than$200,000, slightly belowthe national average of$230,000 for a first-timebuyer.

“We need affordablehousing – good housing –new homes in the$130,000-$160,000 range,”said Ramey. But they arenot available because theland values have driven upthe price.

“If you look at pricesacross the bay, it looks likethe Shore still has inexpen-sive land. Developers fromacross the Bay snap it up.But people who live andwork here think a buildinglot is expensive.”

Ramey said the second-ary market issue would af-fect some buyers who weremarginal borrowers to be-gin with because wages arelower here but he predictedthat the federal governmentwould eventually step up tothe plate to keep these peo-ple in the market.

If you’re looking to buy,you’ll be happy to knowthat the large inventory of

properties available make ita buyer’s market.

Sellers may have tocrank down expectationsfrom a few months ago. Butthey can take comfort inknowing that the chance ofa sale falling through forlack of financing is alsolow. Interest rates are at ornear a 30-year low.

It’s hard to argue withthe evidence. Ramey pointsout that his firm has contin-ued to grow, expandingfrom one to three officesand 10 to 40 agents and re-cently affiliated with Centu-ry 21. “We’re confident inthis market.”

Both owners of the firmare from Sussex Countyand intimately familiar withthe local market.

Ramey said, “As long asthe interest rates remaingood, the market will con-tinue to remain steady.”

Orthopedic and Sports Physical TherapyClinic as a certified athletic trainer.Sheridan also got his master’s degree inphysical therapy from Neumann Collegeduring the 11 years he spent at ChesterCounty Orthopedic, treating players andhigh school athletes for their injuries. Itwas here that he developed a friendshipwith long-time Phillies trainer Jeff Cooper,not knowing that someday he would fillhis shoes. Sheridan stills keeps in contactwith Cooper, who is now retired.

While working at the clinic, one of themost famous athletes Sheridan treated wasCurt Shilling, who then was with thePhillies and who later led the ArizonaDiamondbacks and Boston Red Sox to theWorld Series. Shilling had severe shoulderproblems, but under the care of the clinicand Sheridan he came back big, strikingout 300 batters the first season after hisinjury.

Sheridan also got former Phil’s catcherMike Lieberthal back to action some yearsago after a meniscus tear, a common injuryfor catchers, according to Sheridan. Othershe treated while at the clinic includedPhillies Tyler Green, Kevin Stocker, PatBurrell and Scott Rolen.

Sheridan’s plans to someday open hisown sports clinic fell by the wayside inOctober 2002, when the Phillies, aftermeetings with Sheridan through Cooperand Susan Ingersall, announced thatSheridan was to become the Phillies MinorLeague Coordinator of Trainers. Sheridanwould be based in Florida. His new jobwas announced in the Oct. 9 edition of the“Philadelphia Inquirer” and “USA Today.”

“This opportunity took me completelyby surprise,” said Sheridan. He was tocoordinate all trainers, at Lakewood, N. J.,Clearwater, Fla., Batavia, N.Y., Reading,Pa., and the Triple A Club in Scranton, Pa.

After moving and getting his wife, Deb,and 2-year-old son, Scotty, settled,Sheridan found himself on a plane headingback to Philadelphia with Phillies brass,including Cooper, former general managerEd Wade, former manager Larry Bowa,Dallas Green, the late John Vukovich,Reuben Amero Jr. and others in thePhillies hierarchy. Sheridan said that onthat plane ride, he almost had to pinchhimself to make sure the experience wasreal. “I kept thinking, what am I doinghere? I tried not to be in awe.”

Sheridan took over as Phillies trainer

this season, after the retirement of Cooper.Even after his first busy year as the Phil’strainer, his feelings about the organizationhave not changed. “The organization isgreat — they have treated me unbeliev-able,” he said. “Read all you want, youjust can’t believe how well they treat me. Iam very fortunate.”

As the Phils’ training coordinator,Sheridan was in Philadelphia in April2003, sitting in the dugout, relieving thentrainer Cooper, who was on vacation,when Phillie pitcher Kevin Millwoodthrew a no-hitter. A famous dugout photoshows Sheridan sitting beside the Phils’pitcher during the game.

Now, as the Phillies chase a chance atthe World Series, Sheridan has a front rowseat from the dugout and is ready to springonto the field in a second’s notice if aPhillies player should go down with aninjury. Mark Anderson is Sheridan’s assis-tant.

Long time employees of the Phillies atthe ball park cannot remember a yearwhen there have been as many injuries asthe players have had this year (see listbelow). The Phils have used 28 differentpitchers to date and Sheridan has workedhard to get them back on the mound. Oneof these pitchers is Sheridan’s friend andPhillies ace, lefty Cole Hamels.

Hamels experienced elbow problemsand went on the disabled list in the middleof the heated National League East race.Sunday morning, Aug. 26, there wasHamels, with ice packed heavily aroundhis shoulder and arm, leaving Sheridan’strainers room as Scott Eaton another pitch-er entered. It has been that kind of year forSheridan as his services have been in greatdemand.

“I have spent more time with Cole thananybody else,” including time spent withthe pitcher in Florida treating him after anearlier injury, Sheridan said. “He has hungout with me, he is a very competitive per-son.”

Phils manager Charlie Manuel supportsSheridan’s efforts and if Sheridan says theplayer is not ready he does not play.“Obviously it is a group effort, everybodyis a part of making things better,” saidSheridan.

When asked if the games affect himany, Sheridan, in his always low-key tone,said, “Sure I get caught up in it. When wewin — I win. When we lose — I lose. Yes,I take it home with me. I am glad it’s a

one-hour drive to home.”During the season, Sheridan works 10-

to 15-hour days and is gone for 81 roadgames each year, in addition to springtraining and meetings. Sunday before theSan Diego home game, a call to Sheridanat 8 a.m. found him at his office in the ballpark. Game time that day was 1:35 p.m.and it was perhaps 6 p.m. or so when heheaded home. “This is what I want to do,”

said Sheridan. When they made their decision on his

career, Deb Sheridan said, “Let’s go forit,” her husband said. “She has encouragedme to do what I wanted in life,” he added.“Without her, this would not be the same.”

Sheridan has not forgotten his rootseither. In an earlier story he recalled many

of his LHS classmates. “We had a greatclass,” he said. Some of his close friendswere Danny Alvarez, David McCants,Chip Venables and Kevin Wheatley.

Sheridan also talked about the workethic his mom and dad, Paul and JudySheridan, instilled in him as well as thevalues that have been so valuable to him.

Sheridan has a brother, Mark, and sis-ter, Ann Hill, who both live in Laurel. Hisgrandfather, Avery Owens, passed awayseveral years ago, but his grandmother,Helen Owens, is very proud of Scott.Asking her about him lights her up like a

Christmas Tree. “Avery is one person I would have

liked for Scotty and Debi to have seen andfor him to see what I am doing,” saidSheridan.

Sheridan misses being away from hisfamily, but as he says, “I love what I do. Iplan to stay as long as they will keep me.”.

One thing for sure: When Sheridangoes to his class reunion and tells hisclassmates that his job is taking care ofRyan Howard and Chase Utley, they canbelieve it, because as Sheridan says,“There is nothing I would rather do thanbe around sports.”

The Delaware Adolescent Program Inc.,(DAPI) the only statewide program in thenation that helps pregnant and parentingteens receive prenatal care while continu-ing their education, has received a federalgrant for $176,743. The money will beused for the Laurel Kids ConnectionMentoring Program, a partnership betweenLaurel Middle School and DAPI designedto establish outreach efforts with low-income, at-risk middle school students andhelp them make smart choices.

Sen. Joseph Biden announced the feder-al grant recently. He noted that theDelaware Adolescent Program Inc. has anational reputation and he praised its ini-tiatives.

“DAPI’s successful history over the lastthree decades has made it a nationalmodel,” Biden said. “Life as a pregnantteen can often be overwhelming. We

should teach life skills, promote self-esteem and hammer home again and againthe message that an unplanned pregnancycan derail dreams. DAPI has done that inthe past and I’m confident they’ll do thesame in Laurel.”

Dr. Doris Griffin, interim executivedirector of DAPI, said that the Laurel ini-tiative has set high goals for area students.

“This program is designed to make surethat our students never become pregnantteenagers,” Griffin said. “It’s an alternativemethod that provides guidance and struc-ture to students who need more support.Mentoring will remind students frequentlyof their wonderful potential if they makethe right choices. We want to facilitatebright opportunities for young people sothat they can achieve higher standards thanever before.”

With most super markets turning topackaging their meat products, which canhave a shelf life up to 20 days, it is rare tofind fresh cut meats in the meat depart-ment; the term butcher shop is almost ex-tinct.

Steve Moore, a former assistant meatmanager with Giant Foods hopes tochange that and provide fresh meats everyday from his new butcher shop.

Moore and his father Jim Mooreopened Moore’s Meat Market on E. 4thStreet in Laurel last week promising toserve quality meat products featuring Cer-tified Angus Beef, home made sausage,ribs, chicken, hamburger, roast beef, pork,all custom cut for the customer.

Moore who was employed for six yearsin the meat department with Acme, and 10years with Giant Foods says he is tired ofseeing food markets heading in the direc-tion of more pre-packed meats processedin factories and then shipped to stores.

Moore says more meats are being pack-aged at processing plants and sealed withcarbon monoxide gas which keeps meatsred even though the meats may be spoiled.

“ Packaged meats have a shelf life upto 20 days,” Moore states, adding,

“ My burger meat is fresh daily and hasa shelf life of only one day; three days forred meat.”

After one day the hamburger will befrozen and marked down. “ Still it will befresher than you can find at most stores,”Moore said.

Moore said there use to be a lot of meatcutters, but with pre-packaging that num-ber has dropped.

For the past few years he has been do-ing deer processing at his residence andhad a deer checking station.

Moore promises to focus on customerservice; “ I want to treat my customers theway I want to be treated; that’s my goal,”he said.

Moore plans future expansion to in-clude cases for ham and turkeys for theholiday season, and to carry frozen prod-ucts featuring frozen meat entries to in-clude steak, chicken and pork at specialprices.

Rita Fitzgerald who moved to Laurelfrom Ohio is the store manager. She for-merly worked in the meat department andserved as produce manager in a food storein Ohio. She says the store will run dailyspecials; their phone number is 302-875-2372. Business hours are Monday throughSaturday, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.

The Seaford and Laurel Star news-papers continue their series of articleshighlighting the men and women whoserve as volunteers in the local fire de-partments. These volunteers work tire-lessly providing protection and re-sponding in time of need. We hope theseries helps to show our respect fortheir efforts as we increase communityawareness of their sacrifices.

By Donna Dukes-Huston

In 1988, Wendy Lowe became theLaurel Volunteer Fire Department’sfirst female firefighter. Over the past19 years, Lowe has held many posi-tions and remains active today.

Lowe’s first training was Firefight-ing I, which is now called Basic Fire-fighting. Lowe said that in both fireschool and at the department she neverreceived any special treatment, good orbad.

“I took the same training as the menin every fire school class,” Lowe said.

Still not all members were ready toaccept this change.

“I had to prove myself to some ofthe members,” Lowe said. “It took awhile for some to get used to it.”

Lowe says that joining a fire depart-ment has been something she haswanted to do since she was a child.Her grandfather helped establish a firedepartment in Pennsylvania where hewas made an honorary member.

“My mom says he put it in myblood because he didn’t have anyboys,” Lowe joked.

In addition to firefighting, Lowe hasalso served as secretary and ambulancelieutenant for the department and aspresident of the Sussex County Ambu-lance Association. She is also an EMSand public fire safety field instructorwith the Delaware State Fire School.

Lowe met her husband, Mike, at theLaurel department shortly after joining.He is currently public fire safety seniorinstructor for the state fire school. Healso serves as president of the SussexCounty Volunteer Fireman’s Associa-tion.

Lowe feels that her experience inthe fire department has been pivotal inher life. In fact, this experience has ledLowe to make a serious change in hercareer choice.

Lowe is currently enrolled inDelaware Technical and Community

College and will soon transfer toCatonsville Community College ofBaltimore County to pursue a degree inmortuary science.

“This is something I’ve wanted todo for 10 years,” Lowe said. “I trulyfeel it is a calling from the Lord.”

Lowe said both the scientific aswell as the care-giving aspects of themortuary business drew her to the pro-fession. She hopes to be able to pro-vide comfort for families during theirtime of loss.

“It’s about making that time easier,making it right for the family,” Lowesaid. “I hope to provide honor, serv-ice, and dignity to their loved one.”

Lowe admits that this occupation aswell as firefighting can take its toll onan individual.

“Firefighting has taught me thatyou’ve got to look for the positive in asituation,” Lowe said. “It can reallyget to you.”

Lowe strives to offer support tothose in distress whether on a fire or anambulance call.

“By being there, I hope they feelthat somebody cares and that they feelsome kind of comfort from me.”

Attention small-business owners

I may have the solution you’re looking for.

For more information about a plan that offers tax breaks and requires no complicated paperwork or administrative headaches, please call.

Are you looking for a way to attract quality employees?

Are you looking for a retirement plan that is…in a word, simple?

Are you tired of spending countless dollars each year to administer a retirement plan that doesn’t meet your or your employee needs?

Two state representatives areworking on legislation that theysay will protect the propertyrights of all Delawareans.

State Representatives GregHastings (R-Millsboro) and Den-nis Williams (D-Wilmington) an-nounced a cooperative effort thatwill use the resources of the In-stitute for Justice, the DelawareBar Association, and the StateHouse of Representatives to crafta bill to shield private propertyowners from unwarranted gov-ernmental takings.

The issue has most recentlysurfaced in Wilmington, wherecity officials have threatened touse their power of eminent do-main to seize as many as 62properties as part of the nextphase of the South Walnut StreetUrban Renewal Plan.

As many as 38 working busi-nesses could be displaced if theirproperties are condemned by thecity. Under the plan, the landwould then be sold to private de-velopers for use in high-end resi-dential and commercial projects.

“A lot of people see this as aWilmington matter, but it’s not,”Hastings said. “This is an issuethat cuts across the divides ofparty ideology and geography.Here you have an upstate anddownstate lawmaker — one Re-publican and one Democrat —standing side by side because weboth realize this is an issue ofright and wrong. The ability toown property, and the self-deter-mination to do with it as you seefit, are among our most basic ofrights. Citizens should not haveto fear that their land will be tak-

en because government officialsbelieve it can be put to a more lu-crative use by someone else.”

Eminent domain is a powerused by all levels of governmentenabling them to seize the privateproperty of citizens and business-es for public use.

Under the U.S. Constitution’sFifth Amendment, people subjectto these government takings mustreceive “just compensation” fortheir loss. In actual practice, thelevel of these payments is oftenhighly controversial, Hastingsand Williams said. In some cases,the government turns the proper-ty over to a third party to facili-tate the “public use” cited as thereason for the seizure.

Such a case was tested in theU.S. Supreme Court in June 2005(Kelo v. City of New London).The city of New London, Conn.,condemned private property sothat it could be used for a com-prehensive redevelopment plan.

In a 5-4 decision, the HighCourt ruled that the general bene-fits a community enjoyed fromeconomic growth qualified suchredevelopment plans as a permis-sible "public use" under the Tak-ings Clause of the Fifth Amend-ment. However, the court alsosaid, “Nothing in our opinionprecludes any state from placingfurther restrictions on its exerciseof the takings power.”

In the weeks following theKelo decision, Delaware enacteda new law (SB 217) intended torestrict the use of eminent do-main power in cases similar towhat was done in Connecticut.

The law required cities to have

a plan when condemning proper-ty and mandates that the condem-nations are for a “recognizedpublic use as described at leastsix months in advance of the in-stitution of condemnation pro-ceedings.” The bill also makesthe courts, not the condemningagency, responsible for settingthe level of compensation in dis-puted cases.

However, some say the law

fell short of its intent. The Wash-ington D.C.-based Institute forJustice gives Delaware a grade of“D minus” for the eminent do-main protections the First Stateprovides its citizens. It notes thatother states have enacted strongerand more specific safeguards fortheir residents.

Williams and Hastings don’tfault the General Assembly’s re-sponse to the Kelo decision, not-

ing that the Supreme Court hand-ed down the ruling only days be-fore the end of the Delaware leg-islative session. “They wereforced to play 'Beat the Clock' attheir busiest time of year,” Hast-ings said. “Now that we have theluxury of time, we're going totake a more deliberative look atthis issue and write a bill that’llbetter protect the rights of ourprivate property owners.”

Susan Gum, Delmarva Christian HighSchool’s admissions and marketing coor-dinator, said that every year at the schoolis better than the previous one. “We haveover 60 new students this year, with 53new freshmen joining our ranks as Del-marva Royals,” she said.

On the first day of school this year,Gum watched the members of the studentbody get to know one another throughteam building activities and chapel servic-es. “Our first day is a little different be-cause we start at noon and then proceed toa family barbecue at 5 p.m.,” she said.“The outstanding turnout allows us tohave a wonderful time of fellowship andhelps us build the unity that is so impor-tant here at Delmarva Christian.”

After the barbecue, parents were invit-ed to an open house and college fair. “It’snever too early to think about a student’snext step after high school,” said MaryBeth Rimmer, the school’s counselor. Par-ents are able to speak with their students’teachers and get a sense of the expecta-tions of the school.

“We are blessed to be able to provide afaith-based opportunity for families in theDelmarva region,” said principal Scott Ke-merling. “It’s exciting to be starting ourfourth year and we look forward to gradu-ating our first group of students who havebeen with us all four years. Even thoughwe have already had 50 graduates, thisgroup will be special. We are poised tohave another successful year.”

As a young boy, my father-in-law lived on a farm. His father,who farmed and also worked in thecoal mines, kept a mule that heused to pull farm machinery.

Or was it a pair of mules? Ihave asked my father-in-law manytimes for details about the mule ormules and, as with so many things,have forgotten them as soon as hegave them to me.

Among the forgotten details isthe mule’s name. “I can’t remem-ber the name of the mule you hadon your farm,” I would say nearly everytime we visited. And after he told me, Iwould say, “Maybe this time, I’ll write itdown.”

I never did. And I’ll never be able toask him again. My father-in-law, to whoseson I have been married for more than 30years, recently died.

His death followed a three-year battleagainst tongue cancer, which includedrounds of surgery, radiation andchemotherapy that left him exhausted andsick. But he fought the progression of thecancer with a determination that surren-dered just two weeks before his death,when the doctor told him that there wasnothing more to be done.

During the funeral, my brother-in-lawstood up to praise his father-in-law.Charles Parks was a man of integrity, hesaid, the likes of which do not come alongvery often.

I know that to be true. I also know to be true another comment

made during the funeral, this by a niece,that he was a thoughtful and kind man. “Inever knew Uncle Charlie to say an un-kind word about anybody,” she said.

Throughout the week before my father-in-law’s death, many people visited thehome he shared with his wife, my hus-band’s stepmother. Some sang, manyprayed, and most talked about days goneby. (Sadly though, I didn’t hear anyonemention the mules.)

Among the visitors was my husband’suncle, my father-in-law’s brother, whotold my husband about a poem that his fa-ther, my husband’s grandfather, had writ-ten when one of his six daughters lefthome. Several days later, we received bye-mail a copy of the poem.

“Now you can have your cities, daugh-ter, with their buildings tall and fine,” thepoet wrote. “But when you want to seeyour dad, I guess you’ll find him at themines.”

He continues with directions in case hisdaughter wants to return home — if she“should get tired of city living and thebright lights no longer thrill.”

“Just fill up your Ford with some ofthat good old Kendall gas and head it forthose Clearfield County hills of Pennsyl-vania,” he writes.

There’s not much rhythm or rhyme inthe poem. But the father’s sadness in theface of time moving on is genuine. Whenhis daughter arrives home, he writes, shewill see “a tired old man just sitting therebeneath a weeping willow tree.”

The poem ends:“For you see, I’m just a tired old miner

now, with not much left in life for me it seems,

“With a crippled leg, a broken heart, and a string of broken dreams.”But there is a postscript that hints at an

underlying sense of fun:“If I told you that I dreamed this all up in

one short night, I would be putting it strong.

“But if true, just think what I could do, in Alaska, where the nights are six months long!”And so goes life. We all mourn the pas-

sage of time — children grown and gone,parents passed away. But in the end, it isour sense of fun, the little humorous post-script, that makes the mourning bearable.

Included in a display of family picturesduring my father-in-law’s viewings andfuneral were several photos of my father-in-law in the few years before his death.In one he is riding a horse, in another he ispaddling a canoe, in a third he is on a mo-torcycle. In many, he is with grandchil-dren, great-grandchildren and step-grand-children, talking and playing.

In the midst of our sorrow, the pictureswere a reminder that life is good. Like thepostscript written by a lonely father manyyears ago, they presented a sense of funthat made our mourning bearable.

A lesson in mourningfrom ‘a tired old miner’

We all mourn the pas-sage of time — childrengrown and gone, parentspassed away. But in theend, it is our sense of funthat makes the mourningbearable.

Sussex County Sheriff Eric D. Swan-son has announced that new fees willmean some changes for sheriff’s sales inSussex County.

As of Aug. 22, all sheriff’s sales will besubject to a 4-percent fee, up from 3 per-cent, on the total selling price of real prop-erty. The minimum amount to be collectedby the sheriff’s office will increase from$300 to $500, but the cap will remain at$10,000. Also, for the first time, a one-time set-up fee of $75 will be charged onall sheriff’s sales.

Swanson recommended the fee adjust-

ments, which were adopted by the SussexCounty Council following a public hear-ing Tuesday, Aug. 21. The sheriff said thenew fees will better offset the cost associ-ated with sheriff’s sales, from producingcopies to posting court orders.

The new fees would have generated anestimated $100,000 in additional revenuein fiscal year 2007.

For a copy of the ordinance establish-ing the new fees, visit www.sussexcoun-tyde.gov, or contact the sheriff’s office at855-7830.

Health

On July 18, 2007 Phillip Morris an-nounced that it was promoting a newproduct. The product was a chewingtobacco that did not require the user tospit.

The product was touted as an alter-native to cigarettes for places that nolonger allow smoking. It was touted asa replacement for chewing tobaccothat required juices to be spit out.

It was touted as a great new break-through.

In actuality, it needed to be toutedas a way for Phillip Morris to makemore money. Their cigarette saleshave flattened.

They are not addicting as manypeople to nicotine as they once were.This is nothing more than a disguise tokeep their nicotine addiction industryafloat a little longer.

Nicotine addiction is a very diffi-cult addiction to break. Alcoholicswho are able to go on the wagon usu-ally continue with their nicotine addic-tion. Drug users who go through rehab

usually continue with their nicotineaddiction.

Phillip Morris knows this. There-fore, they have to work at getting asmany people addicted as they can.

What they do not tell the users ofchewing (smokeless) tobacco is that ithas significant side effects. It can af-fect the mouth in a number of ways.

It increases the ability to developdental cavities. That is caused both bythe sugars in tobacco and by the abra-sive particles it contains.

It can cause gum disease. The longterm impact on the gums can causeteeth to fall out prematurely.

Even though the nicotine is in themouth, it is still absorbed into the

system. That means it increases heartrate. It increases blood pressure. Thosemay increase the risk of heart attack.It has also ben associated with a high-er cholesterol.

However the greatest risk is the in-creased incidence of mouth cancer.Because of the local concentration ofchemicals, mouth cancer can developmore quickly than it can in other partsof the body.

Cancer can occur on the tongue. Itcan occur in the throat. It can occur inthe gums. It can occur on the lips. Itcan occur in the cheek.

Phillip Morris can offer one guaran-tee to patients who suffer these sideeffects. It will guarantee that it willnot pay one penny of their medical ex-penses. It will be too busy turning itsprofits over to its shareholders.

Therefore, if someone decides tospend money getting addicted to thenicotine in chewing tobacco, theymight want to spend some money buy-ing stock in Phillip Morris.

Perhaps they can then spend theirprofits on medical care.

If you see a wild animal in your yardor neighborhood, what should you do?

First and foremost, the Delaware Divi-sion of Fish and Wildlife encourages citi-zens: don't panic. Second, watch its be-havior before determining if - or whom -you might need to call for assistance.

“If you see a raccoon, skunk, fox oranother wild animal in your yard, ob-serve it quietly from a safe distance,preferably indoors, and keep children andpets away,” said Greg Moore, WildlifeSection Administrator. “But do not, un-der any circumstances, attempt to touch,pet, handle or catch it. Wildlife is justthat - wild, and we need to leave it to itsnatural state.”

“The Division of Fish and Wildlife ischarged with the public trust to care forthe wild animals that live in our state,but every Delawarean can be a goodsteward to wildlife and share in the lega-cy of our natural world,” he said.

With Moore's precautions in mind,

people should understand that seeingwild animals in a suburban setting is notunusual, he explained. “Many neighbor-hoods, especially newer developments,are former wildlife habitat or border onnatural areas. Rabbits and squirrels arevery common backyard visitors, but fox,skunk, raccoon, possum, groundhogs andeven deer might also make an appearancein some areas,” Moore said. “In mostcases, animals will leave on their own.”

To make your yard less appealing towild animals, trash - especially if it con-tains food waste - should be placed intightly closed trash cans or kept indoorsuntil close to pickup time. Don't feedyour pets or leave food for them out-doors, and don't feed or encourage strays.Livestock feed and even birdfeeders canalso attract some types of wildlife.

Concerns about rabies should factorinto dealing with wild animals.

Possible rabies symptoms to watch forfall into two categories: furious, in which

the animal may be very aggressive, bit-ing at the air and attacking withoutprovocation; and dumb, in which the ani-mal may appear withdrawn and sluggish.

Animals with rabies may also be thin,sickly or have poor coats, although thesesymptoms can also be indicative of dis-eases other than rabies.

“Many people assume that just be-cause they see a wild animal in theirbackyard, it must be rabid, which is usu-ally not the case. Just seeing a fox walk-ing around during the day is not sympto-matic of rabies,” said Chief James H.Graybeal of the Division of Fish andWildlife (DFW)

Unless a human has been bitten by ananimal, DFW Enforcement providescallers with phone numbers of commer-cial pest control operators in their area.

In emergency situations in which thepublic's safety is threatened, police agen-cies will respond to put down a danger-ous animal.

“We do not encourage private citizensto shoot animals, except in an emergencysituation where the animal aggressivelyposes a threat and there is no other helpavailable,” said Graybeal.

If a human has been bitten by anywild animal, call the Division of PublicHealth's rabies program hotline at 302-744-4545.

To report a wild animal bite, pleasecall the Department of Public Health's ra-bies hotline at 302-744-4545. To contactanimal control officers through the KentCounty SPCA, please call 302-698-3006or 888-352-7722 toll-free.

To contact Fish and Wildlife Enforce-ment, please call 302-739-9913 from 8a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Monday through Friday. For naturalresource-relate complaints on nights andweekends, call 800-523-3336, toll-free.

For general information on wildlife,call the DNREC Wildlife Section at 302-739-9912.

Laurel gets four new officers

By Tony E. Windsor

After making presentations in supportof a skateboard park during two separateLaurel Council meetings, the town’s may-or was dealt a blow Tuesday night by acouncil member who feels the project ismoving too fast.

Mayor John Shwed brought the issue ofa partnership with the Laurel School Dis-trict to build a skateboard park before thecouncil during the August 20 meeting. Heexplained that he had been working with agroup of volunteer citizens for over a yearto develop the concept for the park.

Recently, the Laurel School DistrictBoard of Education presented a Memoran-dum of Understanding that the two groupsdeveloped which spells out how the skate-board park would be built on school prop-erty and maintained by the town. The loca-tion of the proposed skateboard park is onCentral Avenue on the grounds that cur-rently house a basketball court and tenniscourts near the Laurel Middle School.

Shwed said during the Tuesday, Sept. 4,meeting of Laurel Mayor and Council thatthe location is a good one because it isclose to both the middle and high schools,the age group that primarily utilizes skate-boarding as a sport.

Councilman Bill Trujillo said he and

his wife are two of the members of thevolunteer citizen group that has beenworking on the skateboard park project.He said the skateboard park would be anexcellent addition to the town.

“This is the answer to the needs of asegment of our town’s population,” hesaid. “It is no more dangerous than othersports that are being played. This will takekids off the streets, instead of having themskating on streets all over the community.”

Shwed told the council that he felt itimportant that when the Board of Educa-tion meets again later in the month tomake a final approval for the memoran-dum of understanding, that it have the sup-port from the Laurel Mayor and Council.

Trujillo motioned to approve the Mem-orandum of Understanding and CouncilPresident Terry Wright seconded the mo-tion. Prior to the vote, Shwed asked forany discussion from council members onthe matter.

It was then that Councilman ChrisCalio addressed the council with his con-cerns about the skateboard park issue.Calio said he intended to vote against theskateboard park Memorandum of Under-standing because he feels the council hasbeen given too little information and healso feels the town is being placed in a po-sition of liability.

Calio responded to newspaper articleswhich have quoted Shwed as saying theskateboard park could cost between$75,000 and $450,000, with a target ofabout $250,000. He also said Shwed said afundraiser held by the volunteer citizensgroup has raised about $1,000.

“I have searched the town budget andhave found no $75,000 line item for agrant for this project,” Calio said. “Willthe town of Laurel have to match funds, orwill it be “free money?”

He also asked why the citizen’s grouphas not been before the Mayor and Coun-cil to make a formal presentation, or whythe town’s appointed Parks and RecreationCommittee has not been shown any plansfor the skateboard park.

Calio also responded to Shwed’s com-ments during the August 20 meeting inwhich he said that the rules of the skate-board park would be enforced by the Lau-rel Police Department. “I personally thinkthe police department has enough to do inthis town without having to check whetherskaters have a membership card,” he said.

Calio said he also worries about thetown’s liability in regards to the skate-board park. He said that an item in theMemorandum of Understanding causeshim concern. “Item 5 in the MOU is arather scary read and appears to leave the

Town of Laurel holding the bag if any-thing happens,” he said.

“If we have to carry liability insurance,then the town is taking some risks withthis park. If a slick lawyer can find a de-fault with the construction or maintenanceof the park, the town will face litigation.”

Calio said he has not gotten any indica-tion that Laurel’s attorney has advised thetown concerning the Memorandum of Un-derstanding.

“I am not against a skateboard parkwithin the boundaries of the Town of Lau-rel, but I think we are putting the cart be-fore the horse,” he said.

Calio asked that the issue be tabled un-til his concerns were addressed. Shwed of-fered no comments to Calio’s presentationand instead moved forward with a vote totable the skateboard park issue. The coun-cil voted four to three to table the issue.

Council President Wright voted to tablethe issue, but said she will be happy tovote in support of the park once Calio’squestions are answered.

Council members Don Phillips, RobinFisher and Calio also voted to table theskateboard park issue.

Shwed took a copy of Calio’s concernsand promised that the points would be ad-dressed and he would get answers as soonas possible.


Sixth graders, freshmen return to schoolBy Donna Dukes-Huston

Delmar Middle and Senior HighSchool’s sixth and ninth graders beganschool on Aug. 23 for an orientation daybefore the rest of the students beganschool the following day.

Sixth grade marks those students’ firstyear in this building as they leave elemen-tary school behind. They began the day inhomeroom where they received schedules,agendas and maps of the school.

They were also assigned lockers for thevery first time. Students faced this new ex-perience with much trepidation, sixth-grade teachers said.

As this is their first year in middleschool, teachers took students on tours ofthe building, including the cafeteria andthe specials wing.

Teachers explained that specials classessuch as physical education and art rotateon an A/B schedule. Students also had theopportunity to learnthe new rules andprocedures of theschool.

“Having this daywithout the seventhand eighth graders inthe building helps toalleviate some of thefears that sixthgraders face enteringa new building,” saidmiddle school viceprincipal Becky Neu-bert. “It gives them achance to get their bearings without otherkids in the hallways with them.”

Sixth graders ended the day in the audi-torium where they met additional staffmembers and learned about events and op-

portunities available to them at DelmarMiddle. They also learned about theschool’s dress code and behavior expecta-tions from principal Cathy Townsend.

These same expectations were present-ed to parents of sixth graders at an orienta-tion session the evening before.

Parents also had the opportunity tomeet many other key players in theirchild’s education at DMSHS in addition tothe teachers. These include the school re-source officer, guidance counselor, nurseand cafeteria manager.

Although most ninth graders have beenin the building since they were in sixthgrade, they are not entirely familiar withthe high school side of the building orwith high school expectations.

Freshmen began their day with an as-sembly in the auditorium where they metthe high school staff.

Townsend shared with students thechanges in rules regarding cell phones and

the dress code aswell as the school’snew tardy policy.Letters to parentswent home prior tothe start of schoolhighlighting thesechanges in proce-dure.

Officers of theNational Honor Soci-ety presented re-quirements andguidelines for be-coming members.

Students later had an opportunity to followtheir schedules and meet each of theirteachers in brief class sessions.

Various high school and specials teach-ers then took freshmen on a tour of the

building. These tour guides described thelayout of the high school wing and helpedstudents find their classrooms. In addition,they provided students with trivia aboutmany of the high school teachers.

Students recorded this information andused it at the end of the day in a trivia con-test hosted by high school vice principalShawn Larrimore. Students who gave cor-

rect answers to the questions received Del-mar gear such as footballs and key chains.Students enjoyed ice cream sandwicheswhile competing in this contest.

“The ninth graders were extremely wellbehaved at the assembly and in the cafete-ria at the end of the day,” Townsend said.“I’m looking forward to a great schoolyear with them.”

summer, ferry operators said they oftenmake 150 trips daily.

The Delaware General Assembly grant-ed Jacob Cannon’s widow an exclusive li-cense to operate a ferry at that spot in1793.

But ferry service dates from the 1740s.James Cannon established the ferry andhis son, Jacob, continued it after he died.The Cannon family operated the ferry pri-vately until the mid-19th century when theDelaware legislature authorized the cre-ation of a free ferry at that location.

And, yes, the Cannons were related bymarriage to the infamous Patty Cannon.(Patty Cannon was the leader of a band ofkidnappers in the early 1800s. She livednear Reliance, Md., at the time.)

Since 1935, the Delaware Departmentof Transportation (DelDOT) has operatedthe ferry and has continued to do so intothe 21st century.

In 1938, the state recognized the cultur-al significance of the ferry by placing ahistoric marker at the site. Woodland Ferryis one of the oldest, if not the oldest, fer-ries in continuous operation in the UnitedStates.

Birth of a celebrationThe residents of the tiny village love

the river and the ferry. They are so proudof it that it wasn’t hard for Bill andGertrude Royal to persuade their neigh-bors to mount a festival to celebrate 200years of continuous operation.

Although originally intended as a cele-bration of a milestone, every September

since has found residents hosting anotherfestival to celebrate the ferry and its con-tribution to local culture.

They don’t even care if they make anymoney – although it wouldn’t hurt theirfeelings to break even, according toChristina Darby, vice president of theWoodland Ferry Association.

The public is invited to join local resi-dents for a festival to celebrate historicWoodland Ferry by sharing great food,arts and crafts, live entertainment and chil-dren’s activities on September 8, 2007,from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Eleanor Jamison grew up in WoodlandFerry and was married in the churchwhere her mother played the organ for 52years and she’s familiar with local history.

She said that documenting the ferry’shistory is complicated by the fact that theboundary between Delaware and Mary-land in Woodland area was often disputedand the settlement has been consideredpart of both at one time or another.

Jamison and Gertrude Royal werecousins whose family ties to Woodland goway back, but she says Bill Royal wasadamant that he was a “come here” inShore parlance.

Still, someone who came to the villageat age five and stayed, qualifies for hon-orary resident status. This year’s festivitiesare a tribute to the civic spirit of this cou-ple.

Three years ago, the committee initiat-ed a silent auction to bring them closer totheir goal of breaking even. Since then,they have come close.

“This year we have some different

things that may spark interest,” said Dar-by. “When the Captain John Smith Shallopcame up and down the river in May, a lo-cal resident got a photo of the shallop andcollected signatures of all the crew mem-bers. He’s had this one-of-a-kind itemframed for the auction.”

Jamison jokes that she is the festival’sinsurance policy. The one year she missed,it rained. She was told that she must nevermiss another festival. And she does hate tomiss any chance to visit. “Woodland issuch a pretty spot; our river is so beauti-ful,” she said.

Museums open for visitorsHistory buffs will enjoy visiting two

“museums” that house the interesting pri-vate collections of local residents.

Days Gone By, owned and operated byJack and Carolyn Knowles, features arti-facts and memorabilia associated with theferry. Water’s Edge features Dave Fluhar-ty’s collection of just a little bit of every-thing, including buggies that might havecrossed the ferry years ago.

The collectors are so pleased to sharetheir treasures with visitors that admissionto both museums is free.

Bill and Gertrude Royal“Bill (Royal) was very much into the

festival idea,” so it’s fitting that this yearhe will be remembered.

Gertrude Royal died a few years ago,her husband this past year. But when hewas organizing the festival, he had atheme for each event. “One year he hon-ored Veterans living in the area,” she said.

“My thought has always been that thefestival celebrates the Nanticoke. Just be-ing in Woodland is the best part of theday.”

Earlier in the day, Jamison said she had

spent some time at Woodland Park plant-ing chrysanthemums to provide color forthe fall.

“Greg English did a good job with theoriginal plantings,” she said. Although thestate owns the land “we freshen it up withannuals summer and mums in the fall.”After gardening, she said she sat on abench and just enjoyed the river.

Her memories of Woodland Ferry in-clude a severe storm in the early 1930s af-ter which she floated down the road in arowboat as there was more than a foot ofwater standing in the road. “But I don’t

have a boat anymore,” she said. When the Nanticoke River is angry it

spreads water all along the low-lying landon either side.

Last summer the flood that took out theGalestown Millpond Dam also sent waterup to the church. But most of the time,“when you stand down in our ferry parkand look down the river, it is a beautifulsight.”

Changesahead forWoodlandFerry

This will be the last year that a three-car, cable-guided ferry makes daily tripsacross the Nanticoke River at the Wood-land Ferry crossing.

DelDOT has scheduled to take the Vir-ginia C out of service in October. The newferry will be a six-car ferry and it will benamed the Tina Fallon, to honor the for-mer 39th District Representative who re-tired last year after a long legislative ca-reer during which she supported the ferryand did a lot to benefit the district.

There was some debate over the carry-ing capacity of the new ferry; some folkswould have preferred that it remain athree-car ferry. But, with the back-ups oneither side during busy times, it just wasn’tpractical.

Christina Darby, vice president of theWoodland Ferry Association, said localswere pleased that, on the outside, the newferry would look much like the one it is re-placing, but “under the hood” everythingwill be state of the art.

The Tina Fallon, now under construc-tion at the Chesapeake Shipbuilding inSalisbury, is scheduled to begin service inAugust of 2008. Darby said she’s excited

to hear that construction is ahead ofschedule. The new ferry will cost$931,000.

George and Lynch of New Castle willdo the site work necessary to completethe project. The total cost for the updateproject will be approximately $3.1 mil-lion.

Locals expected to be without ferryservice from November 2007 throughJuly 2008, but the 65-foot Virginia C justpassed its Coast Guard inspection and it’srumored that it may remain in service atleast until January.

Cable ferries are disappearing from theplacid rivers of the mid-Atlantic regionbut a few, such as those at Woodland andWhitehaven and Upper Ferry, Md., nearSalisbury remain.

It seems like just yesterday you

were startng school Now

you’re leaving home

Off To College

You’ll make new friends, have new experiences and see new things at college,

but having a link to your hometown helps you keep in

touch with friends and family members and lets you know what’s happening at home.

Summer is too short. This is areality to which I’ll never becomeaccustomed. Seeing the jumble ofpicked-over, tired-looking summerclothes in the stores and noting theglut of Halloween decorations al-ways adds to my end of seasonfunk.

It was worse when my childrenwere still in school.

At that very first back to schoolday, the tempo of our householdquickened dramatically. In my roleas conductor of household meals, Ihad the job of keeping the tempo and end-ing on the right note.

I had a repertoireof somewhat reliabledishes that everyonetolerated and whichwere designed to gofrom pantry to tableas quickly as possi-ble. Because it wasno small accomplish-ment to find some-thing that everyonewould eat, thesedishes were hard to give up. Result: din-ners that were familiarly comfortable butdeserving of more than a few yawns.

Today with the advent of the Internet,finding new ideas for quick and easymeals with enough pizzazz to eliminatethis problem is a snap. Try these highly-rated dishes from Epicurious.com thatpack a lot of punch for a minimum of ef-fort.

Spicy Chicken and RiceServes 4. Hot chili paste gives the rice its

kick. The briny olives and the sweetraisins balance the heat.

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil4 large chicken thighs with skin and bones

(about 2 pounds)Ground cloves1 and 1/2 cups diced seeded red bell pep

2 to 2 and 1/2 cups low-salt chicken broth

Add rice; stir 1 minute. Press chicken into

rice. Add 2 cupsbroth; bring to boil.

Cover, reduceheat to medium-low,and simmer untilchicken is cookedthrough and rice istender, adding morebroth if dry, about20 minutes.

Quality Traditional Education Since 1973 Fully Accredited By Middle States in ACSI

Did you catch the news aboutthat lucky dog named “Trouble”?

This White Maltese, thebeloved lap pet of deceased hote-lier Leona Helmsley, learned thatshe was to get $12,000,000 (that’sMILLION!) for her care as long asshe is alive.

Without spending too muchtime venting my anger over this,let me put it simply. The Biblesays we will give account to Godfor how we use what we have been given.At that moment I will be glad not to beher. Instead of one dog living in opulence,twelve million dollars can make a worldof difference in the lives of many people.

Consider some of these.For twelve million dollars you can

sponsor 1,666 children for the next twentyyears in disaster-stricken Peru. Accordingto World Vision, the money would provideclean water, food, medicine, medicalcheck-ups, and education. For twelve mil-lion dollars you can buy twenty drillingrigs and see over 2,500 wells dug inAfrica. According to World Hope Interna-tional, each well can service a communityof up to 2,000 people who have a severeshortage of clean water to drink, cook, orbathe. For twelve million dollars you cansend 8,000 families of volunteers to JoniEareckson’s summer camp for familieswith disabilities. In a very special week,these exhausted families get a break whileothers care for and interact with severelyhandicapped children in providing a life-long memory. For twelve million dollarsyou can run Laurel’s Good Samaritan forthe next eighty years, or triple their abilityto give for the next twenty-five. You

might decide to build 120 Hope Houseswith your windfall. I suppose I could goon and on about what a terrible decisionshe made about her estate. Then again, itwas her money and her decision. The bet-ter question is “How am I spending themoney that I have?”

In Luke 18, Jesus told a story with themessage that God does not provide us allwith equal resources, but he does have thesame expectations of us all. God expectsthat we do all we can with what we havebeen given. I’m not concerned about everhaving Leona Helmsley’s money, I justwant to make sure I don’t have LeonaHelmsley’s heart when it comes to giving.

I have discovered over time that I canalmost always rationalize spending mymoney on me. Then I have to remind my-self that it really is not my money.

I am a steward of possessions, not anowner. A steward is simply entrusted withthe responsibility of a possession. All thatI call my own in this world is on loan tome from God and He expects me to begenerous with it all. So, thanks Leona, foronce again reminding me that I need totake careful note of what I am doing withwhat I have been given.

Mission of Hope joins forceswith Celebrate RecoveryBy Robert Marx

Would you rather stay sick and anony-mous, or recover and celebrate? Currentmedical opinion says, ‘once an addict, al-ways an addict.’

The New Testament says you can ‘be-come a new person’ and actually ‘renewyour mind.’ One philosophy says you arecursed, the other says you are blessed.One approach implies shame, the othervictory. We all know celebrity rehabs havebecome a laughing stock. These days, ‘re-hab’ is a way to avoid the consequences ofyour actions, rather than to get rid of youraddictions. Meanwhile, many real peoplequietly leave their addictions behind withthe help of faith-based programs. Weshould be applauding their achievementrather than watching the celebrity failureswith morbid curiosity.

The newest program to help the Mis-sion of Hope residents in Seaford recoverfrom their addictions is Celebrate Recov-ery (CR). Using a Biblically based“twelve step” program. CR was started bySenior Pastor John Baker at SaddlebackChurch in Lake Forest, Calif. As many ofyou may know, this church was foundedby Pastor Rick Warren. Pastor Warrenwrote “The Purpose Driven Life,” a NewYork Times bestseller. CR, which started16 years ago, and now reaches worldwide,is a natural fit with the Mission of Hope’sbible-based rehabilitation program. Mis-sion Education Director Rev. CharlesWhaley challenged Celebrate Recoveryteacher Robert Spadaccini to include Mis-sion of Hope residents in the CR program.Pastor Whaley also asked Robert to teacha vocational course at the Mission.Robert’s own problems started in Vietnam.Unknowingly suffering from post-traumat-

ic stress disorder, like many, he turned tosubstance abuse. He has been clean andsober for 23 years, but he had to do itwithout a support system. His vision is “tohelp others and make a difference in theirlives.” He admits that he does not have allthe answers and he leaves that “totally upto God.”

This is where CR comes in. It does notjust address addictions but “hurts, habitsand hang-ups.” A curriculum of twenty-sixlessons creates a formula that everyone inthe program can follow. Each sessionstarts with a large group for teaching andtestimony, and then the session breaks intosmaller gender based groups. This pro-vides a “safe environment” for disclo-sures. This is especially welcome forwomen with physical and sexual abuse is-sues as a result of substance abuse. AsRobert says, “men speak more freely withmen, women speak more freely withwomen, and everyone wants to talk to thepastor.” For the nearest CR meeting or tohost a group, visit www.CelebrateRecov-ery.com or Pastor Rick Warren’s websiteat www.Pastors.com. You can also contactRobert Spadaccini at 302-841-1720.

The Mission of Hope provides rehabilita-tion, education and housing for men who arehomeless. The Mission treats the causes ofhomelessness in order to return these men to aproductive life in the community. The Missionneeds volunteers with program development orfund raising experience. Contact the Mission at629-2559, or you can e-mail the Mission [email protected], or write toSeaford Mission, PO Box 1271, Seaford, DE19973. As always, the Mission appreciates allfinancial help, vehicle donations, and especial-ly your prayers. Robert Marx is a volunteer atthe Mission of Hope.

Sussex County Jamboree broughtsix hundred Democrats togetherby Frank Calio

Six hundred Democrats from all overthe state weathered 100 degree heat to at-tend the annual Sussex County Jamboree,Saturday, Aug. 25, at Cape Henlopen StatePark, Lewes, to hear party leaders rallythe party’s faithful for the 2008 elections.

Although candidates predicted wins in'08, a cloud hung over the audience; fourof the statewide open seats are contestedwith challengers which could lead to partyprimaries.

They include two each seeking the De-mocrat nomination for governor, Lt. gov-ernor, congress, and insurance commis-sioner.

The most watched race is for governorwith current Lt. Gov. Jack Carney, andState Treasurer Jack Markell vying fortheir party’s nod.

Both major political parties frown uponprimaries, which usually divide a partyand usually result in a win for the oppos-ing party because disgruntled losers some-

times either don’t vote in the general elec-tion or support the other party’s candi-dates.

The evening spotlighted Delaware’sU.S. Senator and presidential hopeful JoeBiden, who autographed his new book,“Promises to Keep.”

U.S. Senator Tom Carper praisedBiden’s work in the Senate and on theSenate Foreign Relations Committee, andurged support of the audience for Biden'spresidential bid.

Biden spoke on his views on the Iraqwar, his views for ending the conflict, andhis assessment of the first primary in Iowain September and his chances of winning.

Biden was first elected to the UnitedStates Senate in 1972 at the age of 29.

While Biden’s polling numbers aredown, and he struggles with fund raising,he feels he has strong support of the dele-gates who will do the voting and he in-tends to win.

The Jamboree was hosted by the 14thDistrict Democratic Committee.

Former Laurel Mayor Dick Stone, and wife Juanita Stone enjoy a fried chicken dinner atthe Democrat Beach Jamboree.

Laurel/Seaford Star sports predictions: week 1Mike McClure-High school football- Sussex Tech at Milford- Milford 20-12-

This game is always a close one and the fact that the Bucs moved tothe Henlopen South shouldn’t change that. If the game were beingplayed at Sussex Tech I’d go with the Ravens and their senior ladenbackfield.

Hodgson at Laurel- Laurel 21-12Snow Hill at Seaford- Seaford 14-6Wilmington Friends at Woodbridge- Wilmington Friends 21-20-

Wilmington Friends is supposed to be pretty tough this year, but they are playing againsta Henlopen Conference team so they’ll actually have to work to get a win. Don’t be sur-prised if the homestanding Raiders win this one.

Delmar at Cape May (NJ)- Delmar 28-12High school field hockey- Sussex Tech at Seaford- Seaford 2-1College football- West Chester at University of Delaware- UD 28-14- It would be

easier to root for the Hens if they had more local players on their roster than WestChester does.

Notre Dame at Penn State- Penn State 35-21- Well let’s see, I’m a Penn State fanand I don’t like Notre Dame. Still the top 20 ranked Lions, at home, should prevail.

NFL- Philadelphia at Green Bay- Philly 21-10Baltimore at Cincinnati- Cincinnati 17-14

Daniel Richardson-High school football- Sussex Tech at Milford- Sussex Tech 24-

10Hodgson at Laurel- Laurel 21-20Snow Hill at Seaford- Seaford 27-7Wilmington Friends at Woodbridge- Woodbridge 24-21- It is too

early to tell who will win the high school games, so this week I willgo with most of the home teams.

Delmar at Cape May (NJ)- Delmar 21-20High school field hockey- Sussex Tech at Seaford- Seaford 3-2- Again I have to go

with the home team.College football- West Chester at University of Delaware- UD 21-7Notre Dame at Penn State- Penn State 24-10- I expect UD to bounce back from last

season and Penn State definitely has the edge over Notre Dame.NFL- Philadelphia at Green Bay- Philadelphia 24-7- Philly is my team and Green

Bay is not going anywhere as long as they start Favre.Baltimore at Cincinnati- Cincinnati 21-20- This will be a great game. The AFC

North games are always good, even when Cleveland is involved. I will give the edge toCincy at home.

17-10- University of Delaware is ranked number one in their division this year and theBlue Hens do not disappoint their fans at home.

Notre Dame at Penn State- Penn State 28-10- Penn State is ranked in the top 20 andthe team’s stadium is one of the toughest to play in. Notre Dame is looking at rebuild-ing. They have not said who will start at QB but most think it will be Demetrius Jones.

NFL- Philadelphia at Green Bay- Philadelphia 24-10- Green Bay hasn’t been goodfor awhile and I don’t expect them to be a good team anytime soon. Philadelphia, on theother hand, must be the NFC East favorite. The Eagles will rely on their defense tomake plays. Brett Favre will throw at least two interceptions.

Baltimore at Cincinnati- Baltimore 17-13- Last year the Ravens went 13-3 and wereranked second in the NFL going into the playoffs. Can Cincinnati stop McNair and theRavens’ offense?

Young Delmar volleyball team looksfor continued improvement in 2007By Mike McClure

Herb Simon takes the helm as the Del-mar girls’ volleyball head coach this sea-son. Simon has coached high school vol-leyball for the past 13 years and has alsocoached men’s club volleyball at TowsonUniversity, men’s volleyball at Villa JulieCollege, and an assistant girls’ coach atLoyola.

Simon has helped develop two All-Americans who are currently playing Di-vision III college volleyball. He also con-tinues to play the sport and will play innationals in the 70 and older division.

Returning from last year’s Wildcatsquad are: seniors Melinda Quillen (OH)and juniors Carolyn Zimmerman (MH-O),Katyln Elliott (O-S), Gabby Andrade (L-OH), Jayme West (MH), Kelsey Murrell(S), Meghan Gordy (OH-L), Shayne Har-vey (MH-O), and Elise Breda (MH).

The team’s newcomers include juniorsBrittani Scott (OH) and Annika Nichols(S-OH) and sophomore Sarah Smith(OH).

Simon calls West his top captain, Zim-merman his best skilled player, and An-

drade (libero) the best back court playerhe has ever coached. He also sees Elliottas his most athletic player, Murrell as histop hustler, and Scott and Quillen are thebest all around players. Simon says theteam’s other starters (Smith, Gordy, andBreda) have great desire.

“It’s a great group of girls to workwith,” said Simon. “All the qualities arethere, they just lack the skill right nowand knowing where they need to be onthe court. I’m really excited about theprogram.”

Simon is pleased with his team’s ag-gressiveness, desire to win, effort, andathleticism. The team’s youth (one sen-ior), lack of knowledge of the game, andlack of certain skills are concerns enteringthe regular season.

“I think we have a lot of potential,” Si-mon said. “I think I have a very athleticteam.”

Simon said he usually knows who willplay where coming in to the season, butas a first year coach of a program that isonly in its third year he is still discover-ing the best players in each of the differ-ent areas of the game.

Laurel soccer team looks to work together as a team under new coachBy Mike McClure

The Laurel varsity soccer team, behindfive seniors and first year head coachTony Matthews, looks to show improve-ment this season by working together as ateam.

Matthews, who is originally from Lon-don, has coached NYSA youth soccer andCrown Sports soccer but this is his firsttime as a varsity head coach. He says heenjoys coaching high school soccer be-cause the older players understand moreand are able to grasp what he wants themto do quicker.

As of last week the Bulldogs had just12 players, but Matthews is hopeful hecan pick up some freshmen with the startof school. His returning experienced var-sity players include top scorers LinekerValladares and Kyle Brown up front andseniors L.J. Watts, Jose Sanchez, JoshBrittingham, David Bartee, and JoeyKempf who will anchor the defense.

Matthews is looking for his team to

improve upon last year by improving itspassing game and being more competitivein games.

“It’s a team game. There is no “I” inteam,” Matthews said. “Someone losesthe ball and they all have to be on the de-fense. If you lose it you just can’t giveup.”

“He knows a lot about soccer. His ex-perience is really helping us a lot,” saidBartee, who is in his third year with theteam. “He’s figuring out a lot of what wewere lacking from past seasons.”

Among the Henlopen Conferenceteams Laurel will have to contend with isCape Henlopen which features a numberof returning players. Unlike other pro-grams, Laurel does not have a JV team,something Matthews would like to seehappen. In the meantime, the Laurel play-ers are hopeful about the coming season.

“We’re actually excited about playingthe first game,” Valladares said. “I can’twait for our first game.”

“It feels a lot more hopeful than in past

years,” added Bartee.While the team has been able to work

on its teamwork during practices,Matthews and his team are ready to start

the season.“Practicing every night is one thing but

there’s nothing like match night,”Matthews said.

year, also moving up to midfield. Sopho-more Corey Phillips, who saw some timelast year, will start at left outside.

Cathell is looking for Bellamy, Phillipsand the other Wildcat players to takesome of the pressure off of Murray andWebster.

The team’s newcomers include sweep-er Zach Bettes and defenders Sean Wilk-erson and Sean Deen. While the majorityof the Wildcat defenders are young, Rit-tenhouse will help solidify the defense.

The Wildcats lack depth and are look-ing for some consistency from the de-fense. Cathell is looking for some bigthings from his offense.

“This is the fastest offensive team I’veever had,” said Cathell. “I’ve been moreof a ball movement kind of coach.”

Cathell expects his team to be compet-itive with Indian River, which he expectsto be the team to beat in the HenlopenSouth.

“We’re definitely going to have tohave out best game when we face them(IR), but we’re not going to take anybodyfor granted,” Cathell said. “We’re readyto go. We’re battle tested (after scrim-mages against Parkside and Mardela). Wejust have to stay healthy.”

The Wildcats face a tough test in theseason opener (at Caesar Rodney Sept.11) before hosting Cape Henlopen onSept. 13 in the home opener.

As a new reader of the Seaford Star, Iread a number of columns in order to get asense of the local minds. One column [thatof Frank Calio] appears to be so distortedas to cause me to wonder why the Starcontinues to publish such trash. I haveread two of his columns and both are sofar left wing as to contain little or no fact.Yes, he spouts data and statistics. But thesad part is that he is playing to the readerwho is not savvy on the topic he is pre-senting. Let me give some examples.

The first article I read was about freehealth care. Now there is some free healthcare in this country [indigent hospital care]where the hospital treats the poor andspreads such cost to other paying cus-tomers. And, yes there is some need which

should get attention. But, recent facts sug-gest that there are 47 million Americanswho do not have health care coverage[about 12% of the total population].

Now, Clinton & Obama and Edwards[whose recent positions are polluted withnumerous contradictions] all call this anoutrage. When one looks at the data close-ly, 25 million are illegal immigrants.Granting free health care to this sectorcould create a rush to the U.S. borders byMexican, Central American and SouthAmerican citizens, [to take advantage ofthis perk] the size of which is mind bog-gling. Also, another third of these individ-uals are 18-25 year olds who have comeoff their parent’s coverage and who feelthat they do not need this coverage any-

way. Mr. Calio ignores this data. I suspect he

was aligned with the crowd [AARP in-cluded] who were against Part-D Medicareprescription drug coverage. Fortunately,reason prevailed and today more seniorsare enjoying an affordable prescriptiondrug coverage driven by competition. Infact the number of seniors [myself includ-ed] who purchased prescription drugs fromCanada has dropped by 50%. That tells methat the government does not know how tomanage programs and decides on the basisof what is politically correct vs. the facts.

The second column has to do withbashing the oil companies. He claims that“Big Oil” is somehow restricting the sup-ply in order to gouge the consumer. This

The horrors and emotional damage caused by recessI now understand why I have so

many unresolved emotional issues.It is because my elementary schoolrecklessly and thoughtlessly al-lowed us to play tag during schoolrecess. What a malicious and men-acing game this is!

I will join what I hope arethrongs of Americans totally mysti-fied by the recent decision by someschools to ban the game of tagamong its elementary school stu-dents. Apparently, this game hascaused emotional issues with children whohad been chased by other students and ledin some cases, to school yard argumentsand fighting. Sounds like pretty normalschool yard antics to me.

I vividly recall being tagged “it” andthen running like a mentally challengedgoat after every student body that waswithin eyesite. And, yes, I will venture toguess that there were a number of thesestudents who did not particularly care forme smacking them on the back or otherbody area and shouting “you’re it!” So, Iam probably opening up myself to a law-suit by even admitting this.

But, I have to say. “Tag” was the leastaggressive of the school yard recess gamesthat we played as kids. Given today’s stan-dards, I cringe to consider the other moreregular games we played and how theymay be viewed by some parents and

school EQ professionals.Here is one that comes to mind. Chil-

dren line up against the wall of the schooland another student hurls a ball at them.The student who gets struck by the ball isout of the game. We called that “DodgeBall.” I still have nightmares of that ballcoming vengefully toward my more sensi-tive body areas. Oh the horror of it!

Oh yea, then there is the game wherewe throw an unassuming member of ourschool yard colleagues down on theground and yell, “pile on!” Then fromseemingly nowhere hordes of young’unscome running from all points on the play-ground and drop like a pile of rocks ontothe pile. This game we appropriatelycalled, “Pile On.” I was on the bottom ofthe pile on numerous occasions and everytime felt the same: like there were a hugepile of kids on top of me. Okay, now I am

feeling that I certainly have grounds for anegligence lawsuit against Crisfield Ele-mentary #1.

Oh, my goodness, I almost forgot themost treacherous school yard game weplayed, “War.” Here is a game worthy ofan independent psychological study. Thekey to this game is to use your schoolclass time just prior to recess to choose upteams. This way once you get to the play-ground you head to the big open field andthe two teams stand at opposite ends. Oh, Ialmost forgot, we did not refer to our-selves as teammates or to this as a game. Itwas “War,” and we were warriors.

Once both teams of warriors were linedup and ready, the head honcho, who wasusually Jesse Brittingham, because he wasolder and seemed more like a warrior thanthe rest of us, would shout at the top of hislungs, “Charge!”

Now, perhaps my memory is slightlyaskew, but as I recall the aftermath ofJesse’s yelled order, was nothing less thana cross between “Brave Heart” and “TheyDied with Their Boots On.” Scores ofyoung’uns would haul across the field likethey were after money. Somewhere in themiddle of the field we would converge andbodies would be thrown here and therelike bags of trash on collection day. Whenthe recess bell rang, the team with themost players still standing, or able to walk,would be declared the winner.

Okay, after my few examples of schoolyard recreation, do I sense a lawyer outthere salivating and chomping at the bit totake on my case of mental and physicalanguish? Looking back on this I now seejust how damaged I am because of the af-fects of this school yard run amok. Wherewere the school officials when all of thiswas taking place right under their noses?

I tell you where they were, some weredoing recess accompaniment with theyounger children and others were prepar-ing class for our studies. My recommenda-tion is to let kids be kids and let’s stopadults from stepping in every five minutesin an effort to find evidence of some kindof emotional abuse. There are real, horrificthings happening to our children everyday,some even in their own households. Thisis where our energies should be spent asan effort to protect our young people bothmentally and physically.

For the most part, I hope we can agreethat developing games on the school yardplayground has always been a source ofcreativity and, yes, in some cases, the cata-lyst for a shoving match or even bloodynose. But, in my opinion, this is part ofgrowing up and learning how to co-existin this society.

Note: The previous comments do notrepresent the opinion of an academic pro-fessional or psychological expert.

Looking back on this I

now see just how

damaged I am because of

the affects of this school

yard run amok.

U.S. remains vulnerable despite best efforts in IraqIt's time to

bring our troopshome from Iraq.

There are stilla few who be-lieve we can winthe war in Iraq.From there, wecan defeat AlQaeda and findOsama binLaden.

The saying,"better to keepthe terrorist over there, than inthis country," still rings loudly incircles of some believers.

According to two separateCNN reports, neither is happen-ing.

A senior government officialwho has seen a new U.S. govern-ment analysis says Al Qaeda isthe strongest it has been since theaftermath of the September 11,2001, terrorist attacks.

Another CNN report claimsthe nightmarish political realitiesin Baghdad are prompting Ameri-can officials to curb their visionfor democracy in Iraq; instead,the officials now say they arewilling to settle for a governmentthat functions and can bring secu-rity.

Do you think our administra-tion in Washington might finallybe getting the message? I doubt ifthe message has sunk in with thetop two officials, but maybesome are finally getting it.

Having spent some $160 bil-lion American dollars, we are nofurther ahead of the game in Iraqthan the day we invaded thecountry. We are losing moretroops than we did with the inva-sion.

According to the CNN report,exasperated front-line U.S. gener-als talk openly of non-democraticgovernmental alternatives, and,while the two top U.S. officials inIraq still talk about preserving thecountry's efforts to develop dem-ocratic institutions, they say theirambitions aren't as “lofty” as theyonce had been.

The failure of the new govern-ment to gain control of their peo-ple is a bitter pill for the U.S.who has seen thousands of sol-diers and civilians killed ormaimed, social programs in this

country cut, the deficit grow, therich get richer, and the middleclass lose ground.

While our troops were dyingin August, the Iraqi Parliamentdecided to take a month-long va-cation.

When they are in session 17 of37 Iraqi Cabinet ministers eitherboycott or don't attend Cabinetmeetings. They have yet to passkey legislation in energy resourcesharing and the future roles offormer members of Hussein'sBaath Party.

Even President Bush has ex-pressed frustration with efforts bythe government of Prime Minis-ter Nuri al-Maliki to promote po-litical reconciliation. Last week,he reversed himself again, andsaid he supported the Iraq leader.

Delaware's U.S. Senator andpresidential hopeful Joe Bidenhas been saying for months wewill never see a unified govern-ment in Iraq because there areseveral fractions, different groupswho each want power to rule, andwill not concede to unification.

Biden suggests giving each ofthem a slice of the country thatthese groups can call their ownpiece of real estate and form agovernment with representativesfrom each.

At the last Democrat presiden-tial debate, many candidatesagreed with Biden's commentsregarding settling the civil war inIraq.

Both political parties in thiscountry have agreed it is impossi-ble to just pull out, that there willalways be an American presencethere.

The U.S. government has longcautioned that a fully functioningdemocracy would be slow toemerge in Iraq. But with key

U.S. senators calling for el-Mali-ki's removal, some senior U.S.military commanders even sug-gest privately that the entire Iraqigovernment must be removedand replaced with a stable, se-cure, but not necessarily demo-cratic, entity.

Our President convinced Con-gress and Americans that Iraqwas a threat because they hadweapons of mass destruction andthat Saddam was connected withAl Qaeda, both statements provento have no substance.

The recent right wing TV adsuggesting that if we pull out ofIraq and the President's statementthat our withdrawal would be asurrender are not true. I will havemore on this TV ad when I roundup my facts.

The comments that a pull outis a surrender is a slap in the faceof the Americans who sacrificedtheir lives in Korea and Vietnam.We didn't surrender there; we leftthem better places and we stillhave troops in both countries.

But our leaders then weresmart enough to know we could-

n't win. To bring our troops homewould save lives.

As a matter of fact, we haveAmerican troops in Germany,Italy, and Japan, almost every-where in the world, except thenumber needed in this country ifwe are ever attacked.

The rationale in Iraq was if wedefeated Saddam, we would endterrorism. Al Qaeda never had apresence in Iraq while Saddamwas in power. If they did, Sad-dam would not have had the trou-ble finding the group that we do,and all would have been elimi-nated.

But I understand the presenceof Al Qaeda is now known inIraq.

The CNN report claims theWhite House's view is that "overthe past six years, we have pre-vented attacks from al Qaeda bytaking the fight to them," accord-ing to a senior administration of-ficial. "But they are an enemythat adapts," he concluded.

Despite the billions we havespent in Iraq, and other countrieslooking for the terrorist group,

our Homeland Security Secretarychief and other officials warn thatal Qaeda remains a serious threatand that the United States is vul-nerable despite the numerous se-curity changes made since Sep-tember 11, 2001.

Gee, what a great return onour $160 billion investment!

What I've never understood isthat our intelligence people telllawmakers that al Qaeda leadershiding in Pakistan are able tomaintain relationships "with affil-iates through the Middle East,North and East Africa and Eu-rope."

We can tap into personal con-versations in this country, but wecan't tap conversations with alQaeda leaders that could lead usto Osama bin Laden?

I can't believe that with all ofour intelligence, we can't findthat guy.

Sounds like our governmentdoesn't want to find them so thatthey can continue to have us livein fear of another 9-11 and takeour minds off the costly anddeadly war in Iraq.

The recent right wing TVad suggesting that if wepull out of Iraq and thePresident's statement thatour withdrawal would be asurrender are not true.

FRANK CALIO

blatant misrepresentation would not appearif Mr. Calio had even a minute understand-ing of the oil market operation mechanicsand economics 101.

Without going into micro detail, let megive you a few examples as to why he iswrong.

Oil and gasoline pricing is driven bythe commodities market. Traders here andaround the world trade these commodities.Mr. Calio would have us believe that BigOil can somehow manipulate all thesethousands of traders to conform to thewishes of Big Oil.

Second, the supply line is driven by in-dependent shippers using super tankers.Again, he would have us believe that all

the world shipping companies would agreeto have their vessels sitting idly in portsaround the world while the oil companiesmake up their minds as to when they mayoffload. Does he know the cost of keepingjust one of those tankers sitting an extraday?

Third, recent market values for thesetwo commodities were moving in oppositedirections because the refinery capacity inthis country is at its limit and any break-down or shutdown for maintenance willcause a rise in price. In fact, earlier thisyear we had an over supply of crude oilwhile gasoline was in short supply.

If the Democrats want cheaper gasolineprices for Americans [like they would

have us believe] one option is to supportexpanding refining capacity.

Finally, the biggest flaw in Mr. Calio’sdiatribe is his lack of knowledge of whatdrives decisions at the highest levels inAmerican Business — the stockholder andmarket financial analysts. These folks cando much damage to company earnings theminute that suspect inefficient operations.

In closing let me suggest that Mr.Calio’s only objective is to get a Democratelected and not present a fact based posi-tion on the topics he chooses.

There is no doubt that Mr. Calio is aSocialist. His star democratic candidate[Clinton] has announced her presidency’sbasic foundation: “Shared prosperity with

shared responsibility.” Folks, this is Socialism! It hasn’t

worked outside this country and it will notwork within it. The best asset America canhave is an informed mind.

Mr. Calio is simply playing to the unin-formed. His mind and many of his type islike concrete: all mixed up and permanent-ly set.

Mr. Editor, why not give us someonewho knows something about which hewrites and send Mr. Calio to pasture? I'mtired of reading such trash.

organization dedicated to the es-tablishment of a multi-culturalearly child care and educationcenter for all children of familiesliving and working in theGeorgetown area, has received a$50,000 federal grant. The orga-nization’s center at 101 SavannahRd. in Georgetown, opened thisfall with 15 children as part of itsfirst class.

Sen. Tom Carper, Congress-man Mike Castle and USDA Rur-al Development State DirectorMarlene Elliott recently an-nounced the grant.

“Sussex County is growing soquickly and I am pleased that an-other facility has opened inGeorgetown to meet the needsthat come with a growing popula-tion,” said Carper. “Many mem-bers of that population are chil-dren who deserve the opportunityto develop and flourish in theircommunities and grow up to beleaders in our state.”

The federal funding was pro-

vided through a USDA Rural De-velopment special initiative de-signed to develop and improvethe quality of child care servicesin rural America. “The Bush Ad-ministration recognizes that ac-cess to quality child care is a ma-jor component in helping the un-employed and underemployedmake the transition to employ-ment,” said Elliott.

“All children need to learn anddevelop the skills necessary togrow up healthy and strong. I amconfident that this facility will bea good neighbor in the communi-ty and bring an improved qualityof life to all who walk throughtheir door.”

USDA Rural Development iscommitted to the future of ruralcommunities. Last year, theagency returned over $53 millionto rural Delaware.

“We are very grateful toUSDA for their support of thisimportant community project,”said the Rev. Earl Beshears, pres-ident of Primeros Pasos.

Primeros Pasos was formed 10years ago to provide low-incomechildren, many of whom are fromSpanish-speaking parents, withearly childhood education andcare. Its center is situated in amodular classroom, but the or-ganization hopes to build a largerin three years that will serve 80to 100 children.

A $1.8 million capital cam-paign is under way to raise mon-ey to build the early educationcenter. The center will be builtwith environmentally friendlycomponents.

The public is invited to theribbon cutting ceremony for themodular building at First StepsPrimeros Pasos on Thursday,Sept. 27, at 10 a.m. There will betours and the children will pres-ent a program.

Dreams. We all have them.Now, I am not talking of our wish-es in the years ahead. I'm talkingabout those things in our mindsthat, when we wake up fully in themorning, we remember but usuallynot for too long.

Over the m any years of my life,I've had some good ones. But theother evening I may have had anightmare instead of a dream.

It seems that Wayne Whaley ofLaurel and I were on a bear hunt-ing trip out west and I went over acliff in a snow avalanche. Now mind you,I've never been hunting in my life exceptone January evening coon hunting in Eldo-rado.

Anyway, Wayne could not get to me sohe said he would call for help. As I laythere, the thought ran through my mind,“You don't suppose he will call his brother‘Ol’ Sure Shot’ Dick Whaley, to the res-cue, do you?”

Well, I woke up and I'll never know if Igot off that mountain or not.

I told my wife about this and she said itwas because I talked to Wayne at the car-nival recently. Then she laughed as sheadded, “It’s the Whaleys coming back tohaunt you.”

Well, life is funny like that sometimes.

I know "Ol’ Sure Shot" would come andget me — well, Bob would!

Norris Niblett was telling me the otherday that the Bethel postmaster, RogerJoseph, is the first male to his knowledgeever at the post office.

Speaking of Bethel, Janet Cordreywanted me to know that she is not the or-ganizer of Bethel Heritage Day, the eventthat is returning after a five-year absencefrom the scene. She is just one of manywho are involved in it. She felt that a re-cent story made it seem as if she was theonly one who is organizing the event. Avery humble person, she would have noneof that.

Laurel football coach Ed Manlove said ina conversation the other day that he is verygrateful for the Pop Warner football pro-gram. It has made his job easier and it is agreat program. You can look for Pop Warnerto have another good year if the recentscrimmage means anything, as the playersran up and down the field like it was just an-other walk in the park. The program’s firstgames were on Saturday, Sept. 1.

Thursday evening was a busy time be-hind the school as the league fundraiserand pizza delivery was taking place. SteveGordy is one of the leaders of this organi-zation.

American Legion Post 19 in Laurel isplanning a Veteran’s Day service for thecommunity. More on this in the fall.

The recent story run only in the Seafordpaper about the Mlyczek home on Dual 13got my attention.

For many of us, George Mlyczek was awell-known and trusted friend. His wifehad already passed and he lived in thathuge house by himself. Bill “Ace” Himesand I visited George on several NewYear’s Days and we usually spent a couplehours there reminiscing and mostly talkingbaseball. George had a cleaning lady who

came in once a week and although I amsure, the house did not have a lady’stouch, it was clean.

George, I can see you clearly, talkingabout Hall of Fame baseball player HoytWilhelm. We miss you.

Tommy Young had a one-day visit tothe hospital last week. He admits he is notthe “spring chicken” he once was.

Tommy recently enjoyed his 83rd birth-day and is a well respected Delmar sportsfigure and supporter. Feisty, spirited, call itwhat you want, but Tommy Young bleedsDelmar. His column two weeks ago aboutCoach Hearn and the kids complainingabout the heat was as touching and mean-ingful as it can get.

Tommy, hope you are doing fine. Rootfor the Phillies now, as they may be play-ing some October baseball.

The Delmar Chamber of Commerce islooking for candidates for its Citizen ofthe Year award. Deadline for nominationsis Sept. 24, so you Delmar folks need tosubmit your choice. I know there are manypeople down there who are deserving ofthat great honor. See a separate article inthe paper for more detail.

Hope your short week goes well, every-one. Friday night football and fall have re-turned!

As I lay there, the thoughtran through my mind,“You don't suppose hewill call his brother ‘Ol’Sure Shot’ Dick Whaley, tothe rescue, do you?”

There is an old expression, “Somethings never change,” that we hear saidquite often. But, things do change, andquite often change happens without us re-alizing it.

A good example is the area known foryears and years as Trap Pond.

Generations of Laurelites have spentmany weekends at Trap Pond State Park,camping out with their families during thesummer. About mid-week, a parent wouldgo out to Trap Pond in the wooded areaacross from the swimming area and re-serve a camping spot for the weekend.

Camping was rustic in those days, withrest room facilities and a common bath-house where campers could get showers.

Each camping spot had a stationarygrill and that was about the extent of facil-ities for the camper.

Early on Friday afternoon the camperswould start arriving at the park. Some hadhomemade trailers they pulled behindtheir vehicle. These units provided asleeping space for the family. Others liter-ally pitched tents and family membersslept on cots each night, praying it would-n’t rain while they were there. Others hadfancier portable units that were often theenvy of the other campers.

Electricity was non-existent. Trap Pondwas truly a camping area.

There was a small camp store wherevisitors could buy supplies, plus a conces-sion stand across the pond.

The joyful shouts of laughter could beheard as the young children enjoyed theswimming area. (The water was totallysafe in those days).

A lifeguard was always on duty duringthe week, and for several years the nowdefunct Laurel Recreation Summer Pro-gram provided a school bus to transportyoung students out to the park where theylearned to swim.

Two huge pavilions provided shelterfrom the weather and family reunionsfilled these buildings every weekend.They operated on a first come, first servedbasis, which meant that on any given Sat-urday or Sunday a family member arrivedat the area very early and sat and waitedfor the rest of their group.

A large building near the concessionstand provided rest room facilities. Thepark superintendent’s home was the only

residence in the park.Area Boy Scouts camped in the woods

just outside the perimeter of the swim-ming area on almost every weekend dur-ing the summer.

When DuPont’s Seaford nylon plantwas in its heyday, many men and womenfrom the area who worked shift work atthe plant would pack a picnic lunch andtake their families out to Trap Pond sever-al times a week. The young family mem-bers enjoyed the water and visiting withtheir friends. The parents, carrying thefood, the bath towels, water bottles, con-tainers of sweet drinks, the lunchbox, sun-tan lotion, inner tubes, buckets and shov-els, would resemble pack horses as theytraversed from the parking lot to the pic-nic/swimming area. These fun times tookplace mornings of the 4-12 shift, or after-noons of 12-8, plus every sunny longweekend.

The beach area was filled with youngfamilies nearly every day. The main reason?It was good, clean fun, and it was cheap!

A recent trip to Trap Pond was an eyeopener for us. The area has changed con-siderably.

The camping area is different, withelectrical hookups for camping trailers.And there is one area next to the campingarea, outside of the park, that has been de-veloped into lovely homes.

The Woods at Trap Pond is somethingsome of us never thought we would see.The homes have beautiful surroundingswith many old trees remaining, well land-scaped yards and a quietness of peace andtranquility. Just standing in the middle ofthe roadway, one can pause and listen tothe rustle of the tree leaves or hear the callof a variety of birds.

All of this proves that some things dochange. And sometimes, the change catch-es us off guard.

The Laurel Historical Society held asuccessful basket bingo party on Aug. 28at the Laurel Fire Hall. The group’s nextbig fund raiser and social event will be theweekend of Oct.12 and 13. There will bemore complete details, as the time growscloser. But I do want to add to this itemthat it was so gratifying to see the recep-tion for Ed and Lee Connor when they ar-rived for the event. There were heartyhugs and handshakes for both and Ed waskidded about winning the last prize of theevening, a piece of gold jewelry to whichhe remarked, “Yes, I won it, but Lee willwear it.”

Alan and Sug Whaley have returnedfrom a vacation in the upper peninsula ofMichigan, where they took in sights andscenes in and around that whole area, in-cluding parks, waterfalls and Mack Island.En route to Laurel, they came throughWisconsin where they stopped in GreenBay to tour Packer Stadium. Now, whatsports fan wouldn’t get a real kick out ofviewing and visiting a fabulous stadiumsuch as that one?

Several more of our journeying friendsreturned Sunday, Aug. 26, from an eight-day trip to beautiful Alaska. This group in-cluded Doug and Edna Marvil and a fewof Edna’s siblings, Raymond Whaley,Joyce Sadler, Betty Harding and JuneDwyer. Vince and Sharon Whaley (notsiblings despite having the same name)also enjoyed the trip. Edna reported that inspite of the fact that this is Alaska’s rainyseason, they saw not one drop of precipi-tation and the weather was simply gor-geous the entire time. The group traveledthe Inside Passage as far north as Juno.

The Bonnets and Boas, a Laurel RedHat group, said bye-bye to August activi-ties with a luncheon at the Georgia Housein Millsboro on Aug. 26, with 26 membersattending and enjoying guest speaker,Maxine Ungerbuehler. Birthday celebrantsfor the month were Flaudine Otwell, Mil-dred West, Kathleen Domico and DianBush.

Guests last week of Flaudine Otwell

were her friends Ted, Carol and ShawnMulder from Stony Creek, Ontario, Cana-da.

Joe Elliott from Flanders, N.J., was inLaurel for the holiday weekend, spendingthe time with his mother, M.L.Elliott

The annual luncheon for the past presi-dents of the Laurel New Century Clubwas held on Aug. 28 at the Seaford Golfand Country Club. Those honored mem-bers attending were Dianne Thompson,Eleanor Paradee, Addie Haddock, AnneTracey, Lillian Wootten and Juanita Stone.Unable to attend were Ruth Hickman,Sharron Shulder, Terry Wright and Harri-ett Hickman.

Members of the Laurel High Schoolclass of ‘52 will join together for a periodof reminiscing and fellowship on Sept. 9,at noon at the Dutch Inn. If you are amember of this class, please plan to attendand join your former classmates for theconviviality — it’ll be fun.

“The greatest wealth is contentmentwith a little.”

See you in the Stars.

How would you like to partici-pate in a public opinion poll aboutthe influence of public opinionpolls?

Sound funny? Don’t laugh justyet.

Have you ever thought abouthow public opinion is being shapedby survey results?

Worse yet, how many voters doyou think are persuaded to vote fora certain candidate because thatcandidate is ahead in the polls?

You have to know that the money goesto the candidates who are ahead in thepolls. Those who want to influence ourlawmakers are betting on those frontrun-ners to win.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could changeyour bet in the middle of a horse race andput your money on the lead horse?

Those public opinion surveys are im-portant, but my greatest worry is that theyare too influential with voters.

If voters are forming opinions about thecandidates based on their ratings in thepolls, they may not be examining thosecandidates’ positions on the issues careful-ly enough.

Another concern I have is that verysimilar questions can be worded a littledifferently and the polling results willchange dramatically.

It boils down to how much you trust theintegrity of those conducting the polls. Ifthe poll takers have their own agendas, thequestions can be phrased in such a way asto benefit those whose ideas they support.

This week I cautiously mention somepoll results from Zogby International.

Their website states they have beentracking public opinion since 1984 inNorth America, Latin America, the MiddleEast, Asia, and Europe. “Working with apanel of psychologists, sociologists, com-puter experts, linguists, political scientists,economists,and mathematicians, Zogby In-ternational explores every nuance in lan-guage and tests new methods in publicopinion research,” the site claims.

So, let’s see what they are reporting.Following are a few of their observations:

• A majority of Americans - 54% - be-lieve the United States has not lost the warin Iraq, but there is dramatic disagreementon the question between Democrats andRepublicans. While two in three Democ-rats said the war effort has already failed,just nine percent of Republicans say thesame.

• The poll comes ahead of a Septemberreport to Congress by David Petraeus,commander of the multi-national force inIraq, on the progress of the so-called surgein quelling attacks by insurgents and creat-ing an atmosphere where the new Iraqigovernment can develop.

(The words “so-called surge” werefrom Zogby. That seems opinionated tome.)

• This strong skepticism of success inIraq among Democrats echoes the positionof some party leaders, most strongly word-ed by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid,who said in April that he believed that"this war is lost and that the surge is notaccomplishing anything."

• This latest UPI/Zogby poll showsAmericans are divided on the success ofthe U.S. troop surge in Iraq. While 49%believe it is not working, nearly as many(45%) said the surge has been effective.The vast majority of Democrats (86%)don't believe the surge is working, com-pared to just 11% of Republicans.

• More than a third of Americans (34%)said they don't believe a U.S. victory inIraq is possible: 60% of Democrats saythere cannot be victory in Iraq, comparedto just 7% of Republicans.

The online survey of 6,711 adults na-tionwide was conducted August 17-20,2007.

• As Democratic and Republican presi-dential candidates gear up for upcomingstate primaries and caucuses, Americansare split over which party, if elected,would be more likely to bring the war to asuccessful conclusion: 39% believe a Re-

publican president would be more likely tobring a positive end to the war, while 36%feel the same about a Democratic presi-dent. Another 17% said neither partywould be likely to successfully end thewar.

The next question concerned which ofthe 2008 presidential candidates wouldbest handle the war in Iraq.

• Among Republicans, Rudy Giuliani(28%), Fred Thompson (21%) and JohnMcCain (11%) were seen as having theability to best handle the war, while De-mocrats favored Hillary Clinton (22%),Barack Obama (17%) and Joe Biden(12%).

• In this latest online poll, 27% givePresident Bush a positive rating on hishandling of the war in Iraq, up slightlyfrom 24% who gave the president favor-able marks in July.

• While the President's approval for hishandling of the war showed slight gains,Congress remains stuck at just a 3% posi-tive rating for its handling of the war, un-changed from polling last month.

Are you influenced by public opinionpolls or are you taking time to learn thecandidate’s positions on the key issues?

This upcoming election is too importantto allow the opinions of others alone to de-cide your vote.
