‘All-Star Youth’ seeks nominees
Delaware State Fair, Inc., in partnership with Nemours Health and Prevention Services, is seeking nominations for its All-Star Youth program. The program was originally developed in 2001 to recognize adolescents for their outstanding societal contributions, personal successes, or heroic endeavors despite life’s adversities. New this year, the Delaware State Fair, Inc. in conjunction with Nemours Health and Prevention Services, will also include in the criteria for the “All-Star Youth” living a healthy lifestyle as defined by the Nemours’ 5-2-1 Almost None initiative. From the nominations, 10 “All-Star Youth” are selected — one boy or girl to represent each day of the Fair. The winners are recognized at a special evening
ceremony, in the Fair’s nightly parade, and on the Fair’s website. Each All-Star Youth receives, on his/ her day of recognition, a cash prize, a plaque recognizing his/her achievement, free gate admission to the Fair, carnival ride tickets and a Delaware State Fair tee shirt. To nominate a child who has displayed outstanding courage, commitment and/or achievement, submit a letter of recommendation, along with supporting materials, to: All-Star Youth Nominations, Delaware State Fair, P.O. Box 28, Harrington, DE 19952 Nominees must be 20 years of age or younger as of July 1, 2009. Nominations will not be accepted after May 15, 2009. For more information, call 302-3983269.
The Department of Transportation (DelDOT) announces that the following roads will be closed from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. from Monday, April 27 through Friday, June 19, weather permitting. • Boyce Road from Neals School Road to Chapel Branch Road • Dove Road from King Road to Old Furnace Road • Fisher Road from Cool Spring Road to Beaver Dam Road • German Road from Concord Pond Road to Old Furnace Road • Reynolds Pond Road from Route 16 to Isaacs Road This work will include a full depth rec-
lamation process that rebuilds worn out asphalt pavements by recycling the existing roadway. The old asphalt and base materials are pulverized, mixed with cement and water, and compacted to produce a strong durable base for either an asphalt or concrete surface. This is an environmentally friendly process. The contractor for these improvements is E.J. Breneman LP. These are narrow roads, so some delays for residents and school buses may be encountered due to clearing of equipment from the roadway, but accommodations will be made for their access. For more information, visit www.deldot.gov or tune to WTMC-AM 1380.
