Town of Laurel donates building for Boys and Girls Club program

By Tony E. Windsor In a spirit of community partnership, the Town of Laurel has joined with the Laurel site of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Western Sussex to provide a place for local teens to gather for fun and structured academic and other youth development activities.

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

However, youth leaders in the commu-

nity saw an opportunity.

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

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

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

The funds are part of the federal initiative “No Child Left Behind” and area administered by the Delaware Department of Education. Both the Laurel and Seaford school districts are continued on page 4

Laurel Boys and Girls Club receives building donation Continued from page 1

partners with Boys & Girls Clubs in the 21st CCLC programming.

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

During the Monday, June 29, meeting of Laurel Mayor and Council, Laurel Town Manager Bill Fasano, told the council that the Boys & Girls Club has done a “bang up job” of fixing up the former Chamber of Commerce building.

He said that after meeting with Crimmins and Schrieber, the town agreed to allow the Boys & Girls Club to use the building for a teen center in return for paying the monthly utility bills.

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

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

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

“This is really nice, I like it,” he said.

“This program gives us something to do and keeps us from being on the street with nothing to do. We are able to learn a lot and help to develop our education skills.

But, we also have a lot of fun and go on field trips to different places.”

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

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

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

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

There is a room under construction which will house a computer lab and another that will be a recording studio.

Holden said youth will write their own music and use a keyboard and recording software to make their own CDs. Karen Schrieber said the building also has a full kitchen, but they are in need of an electric stove with 110-volt hook-up.

She is hoping “The Hut” will be able to get a contribution of a stove so that the youth can take advantage of culinary programming.

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

a recent Longaberger Basket raffle that will help raise the money needed to pay the monthly utility bills. “The teens are working to make sure they are responsible for taking care of this building,” she said. “They really appreciate the Town of Laurel donating this building, but they also know that it comes with responsibility.

We have been able to make this a learning opportunity for the kids as well.”

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

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

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

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

Delmar says goodbye to two school board members

By Cathy Shufelt

The Delmar Board of Education said goodbye to two board members during their monthly board meeting on June 23.

Wayne Moore and Charles Smith are both leaving the board after the results of May’s school board election.

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

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

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

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

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

With the final state budget not being

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

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

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

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

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

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

budget.

Gum stated, “I am of the opinion that if this is something the state requires, and wants us to do, then the state should pay for it.”

New specialty crop grant program

Ed Kee, Delaware Secretary of Agriculture, recently announced the 2009 Specialty Crop Block Grant Program to fund projects that enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops in Delaware.

The Delaware Department of Agriculture (DDA) has established a competitive grant process to award these federal funds.

The Department will administer funds totaling $225,990 for the development of projects that will benefit existing specialty crop producers. Grants will be issued from $5,000 to $40,000. DDA is seeking applications from producers, non-profit organizations, government entities, for-profit organizations, and universities for projects that aim to promote or enhance the production of, and access to, Delaware specialty crops. Applicants must reside or their business or educational affiliation must be in Delaware. Grant applications must be received by 5 p.m. Monday, Aug. 3.

For more information and a grant application, contact Jo-Ann Walston, DDA Marketing Specialist, at 302-698-4523.

The grant application packet is also available online, www.dda.delaware.gov, under Hot Topics. Visit www.ams.usda.gov/ AMSv1.0 for a comprehensive list of eligible specialty crops.

Patriot Express Loans help veterans In just two year’s time, the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Patriot Express Pilot Loan Initiative has supported more than $315 million in loans to more than 3,750 veterans and their spouses who are using the SBA-guaranteed funds to establish and expand their small businesses.

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

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

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

Dealer Floor Plan financing begins

Auto, RV and other dealerships can apply for SBA-guaranteed floor plan financing, which will make it easier for these small businesses to borrow against their inventory and increase their cash flow.

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

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

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

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

ARC loans may help businesses

SBA is now accepting loans for a temporary new program called America’s Recovery Capital.

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

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

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

Judges respond to state pay cuts

Although the Delaware State Constitution precludes the reduction of the salaries of judges, commissioners and justices of peace while in office through a budget pay cut, members of the Delaware Judiciary demonstrated their commitment to “sharing in the sacrifice” mandated by the FY 2010 pay cuts for State of Delaware employees.

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

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

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

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

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

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

riod of five years. ARC loans will be made by commercial lenders, not SBA directly.

For more information on ARC loans, visit www.sba.gov. For more information call the SBA Answer Desk at 1-800-U-ASKSBA or TDD 704-344-6640, or visit www. sba.gov.

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

By Carol Kinsley

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

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

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

The themes evident in more than 1,000 comments offered last year — some of which, along with photographs, can be seen at www.heartandsoulofsussex.org — indicate the county is seen, among other things, as: • Agriculture and small towns, coastal resort and natural areas deeply and seamlessly connected by history, place and people.

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

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

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

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

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

He directed the discussion to three approaches: economic development, building communities and growth and development.

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

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

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

At the next session, McGowan presented charts showing potential changes in land use assuming “grow out” at current zoning densities. The state has 938 square miles, or about 600,000 acres. Of those, 108,000 acres are tied up in public lands, state wetlands and ag easements and cannot be developed, leaving half a million acres. Currently, 442,000 acres are “rural.”

As dwelling units continue to be built, rising from the existing 123,170 dwellings that now consume 25,000 acres of residential suburban use and 16,000 acres “mixed use” to a potential 854,000 units permitted at current zoning, the rural areas will shrink to as little as 15,000 acres.

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

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

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

Land use change is inevitable, McGow-

an said. “The principles of the Heart & Soul project state that we know who we are and we know what is important to us.

They can help guide planning, public investment, development, design, budgeting and management at the local, county and state levels.”

The time to begin that planning is now.

Date set for special election for 19th District Senate seat Lieutenant Governor Matthew Denn announces that he has set the date for the special election to fill the State Senate seat vacated by the death of Senator Thurman Adams for the latest date permitted by law, August 3.

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

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

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

“It is very important that resi-

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

The 19th Senate District includes Milton, Bridgeville, Greenwood, Georgetown, and surrounding areas.

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

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

Booth has served since 2002 as a state Representative for the 37th District, which covers the areas between Georgetown and Lewes.

If Booth wins the special election, another special election must be held for the 37th Representative seat.

Booth has just completed his service on the Joint Finance Committee, which is the budget writing arm of the General Assembly.

The Department of Transportation (DelDOT) announces that American Infrastructure-MD Inc., will begin a pavement and rehabilitation project on Route 20/Hardscrabble Road from Kaye Road to East Trap Pond Road near Seaford beginning on Monday, July 13.

Motorists can expect delays and lane closures from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Saturday work hours may also occur to make up time for inclement weather or other delays. Construction is expected to be completed within 45 calendar days, pending weather. The contractor submitted a bid of $1.4 million, the lowest of six bids received.

This project is funded through

President Obama’s American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA). This project and other ARRA projects are revitalizing Delaware’s economy by preserving and creating jobs.

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

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

bringing this same dedication to the residents of the 19th District.

I will be ready to hit the ground running on day one following the election.”

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

Polly Adams Mervine, Thur-

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

At a debate Tuesday evening that was to take place between Booth and Parker, another candidate made her intentions known.

Her name is Wendy Jones from the Libertarian Party.

Laurel employees sacrifice pay to continue using town vehicles

By Tony E. Windsor

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

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

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

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

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

Laurel seeks to streamline notification of code violations

By Tony E. Windsor

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

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

Once violations are reported to Code Enforcement or discovered by town enforcement officers, the property owner has seven days from the time the certificate of mailing is mailed to correct the problem.

This is true in the case of cutting overgrowth of grass, weeds and plants. The overgrowth must be cut and removed or the property owner faces a fine. Also covered in the ordinance is notice to remove

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

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

ployees are willing to do,” he said.

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

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

“offending objects” from the property.

These can be used furniture and appliances, or junked vehicles.

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

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

Frick told Mayor and Council that in the past using Certified Mail took longer because oftentimes recipients would not get to the post office to get the mailing and meanwhile his office could do nothing until they were assured the property owner had been properly notified. “Citizens would sometimes ride by sites we had served notice and see no work going on and assume we were not doing our job.

Now we can get the certificate of mailing out and it goes directly to them and we are notified and the clock starts ticking,” he said.

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

Spend your holiday reading your health insurance policy

By Dr. Anthony Policastro .I was on call for the July 4th weekend.

Some people were barbecuing, some were watching fireworks and some were becoming sick. I took care of the latter group.

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

My daughter and son-in-law work for Blue Cross/Blue Shield of South Carolina.

When I talk to them about insurance company problems, they usually have the same answer. What they tell me is that the insurance company does not make the rules. It is the employer who signs the contract that makes the rules. All the insurance company does is enforce what the employer wants.

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

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

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

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

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

It was the Fourth of July so the insurance company offices were closed. That means that I had several choices. The first was to not do the test that the baby needed.

The second was to do the test but not charge the insurance company. The third was to do the test and then get the insurance company to approve it after the fact.

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

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

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

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

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

Someone needs to read the fine print.

It may not be the individual in human resources but the employer who does so.

For that reason, you might want to plan to spend your next holiday reading your medical insurance policy.

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

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

The time is 5 p.m. and tickets for a good country club dinner are only $15.

Call Ron Marvil for tickets and information at 629-8595. I urge you to attend for this great Laurel family.

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

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

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

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

respected by all. I can see him now talking a mile a minute as he pushed those glasses back onto the bridge of his nose.

Usually he was talking about one of his beloved teams, the Pittsburg Pirates, Steelers or the Penguins hockey team.

He passed that trait on to his boys and like Ollie, son Jeff is a big part of Laurel.

Todd, the youngest, lives in Texas and Alan in Millsboro. When I saw Todd on July 4th, he asked me to mention his dad.

He didn’t need to ask, it was in my plans.

Ollie had great respect and rapport with everyone even a 16-year-old borderline math student with an Irish name.

I’ll always feel that a few more talks with “Ollie” would have converted him into a Phillies fan.

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

Have a great week everyone and oh yes, one more great July 4th moment.

Don Dykes, Chamber president comes over to the Chamber booth, “Pat I need you to help judge the hot dog eating contest. Where’s my sunglasses? Back in a minute,” said Don. He returned moments later still frustrated looking for his sunglasses. “There they are Don, right on your head,” I said, as we both laughed uncontrollably. “You won’t tell this will you?, said Don. “Nah!” I said.

Now, where’s my cell phone?

Post 6 Patriots defeat Fox Post 2, 8-6, in Legion home contest

By Lynn Schofer

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

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

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

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

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

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

SGCC Gators swim team hosts Shawnee

By Lynn Schofer

The Seaford Golf and Country Club Gators welcomed Shawnee Country Club to their waters last Monday evening for a swim meet.

First year coach Whitney Pogwist had 44 members to fill numerous lanes throughout the night.

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Hey, no one likes going to the doctor, but you’ll like it better than what prostate cancer can do to you. Don’t mess around with this.” It’s the second-leading cause of cancer deaths of men in Delaware, and there are no early symptoms. If you’re over 50, or are 40 and African-American, have a fatty diet or a family history of prostate or breast cancer, talk to your doctor about a simple test.

You may even qualify for a free test through Screening for Life.

A nurse can help you schedule your test.

By Charlie Brown

Jamie Mills takes ‘Wings and Things’ win in Delaware Modifieds

By Charlie Brown

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

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

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

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

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

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

Trice has wrong shocks, White gets AC Delco win

By Charlie Brown

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

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

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

Staci Warrington takes second career win in Delaware Late Models

By Charlie Brown

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

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

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

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

With four laps to go Kerry King got by Davis to move into the top five.

Warrington continued to turn in a flawless drive and she posted her first win of the season and the second win of her career. Lingo finished in the second spot with Jarvis third. Fourth went to Browning and King rounded out the top five. Heats were won

by Davis and Warrington. Lingo turned fast lap of the night with a 17.404 at 103.425 miles per hour.

Hitchens fails post race tech, Walls gets Crate Model win

By Charlie Brown

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

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

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

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

Delaware South softball team wins Carpenter Cup Classic

The Delaware South softball team overcame a controversial 1-0 loss to Berks County (Pa.) last Monday to win the Carpenter Cup Classic. Delaware South topped SOL American/Continental (Pa.), 1-0 and defeated Berks, 3-2 in nine innings to force a final game.

The southern Delaware team completed the three-game sweep with a 3-2 win over Berks in eight innings on Tuesday. Kristin Cooper earned the win in all three contests.

In the championship, Kelsey Oliphant singled and scored a run, Asia Brittingham singled in a run, and Kelsey Doherty scored the winning run on an error.

The team’s players are: Asia Brittingham, Whitney Brittingham, Aimee Bunting, Kayla Carrow, Kristin Cooper, Kelsey Doherty, Morgan Hobbs, Amber Mabrey, Chelsea Morris, Alexis Oliphant, Kelsey Oliphant, Logan Pavlik, Paige Powell, Heather Reed, Kaitlyn Sheetz, Kimberly Smith, and Stephanie Wheatley.

The team was scheduled to be honored prior to the Phillies’ game on Tuesday.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Derrik Gibson stats with Lowell Spinners (through 7/7) The following are Seaford grad Derrik Gibson’s statistics with the Lowell Spinners of the New York Penn League: 17-57, .298, 13R, 6 2B, 2 3B, 6 RBIs, 14 BB, 7 SB

Delmar District 8 Little League all-star scoreboard Minor League baseball- Delmar 22, Princess Anne 2 (Tuesday)- Drew Owens picked up the win, Dylan Barlow had three hits including a double and six RBIs, Isaac Austin added three hits including a double and four RBIs, and Taylor Cox collected a pair of hits in the win.

The presentation was made by Beverly Buchanan of Seaford, who served as the Girls State Coordinator.

Tull named to Dean’s List

Katelin Tull has been named to the Dean’s List for the spring semester at Townson University in Towson, Md. Tull has also been accepted into the occupational therapy program where she will begin studies in the fall.

She is the daughter of Karen and Michael Tull of Seaford.

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

Gas Lines Prices continue to drop

In contrast to this time last year, motorists who hit the road for the Independence Day weekend were greeted by a continued decline in prices at the pump.

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

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

Crude oil pricing After peaking at $73.38 on Tuesday, June 30, in intraday trading, crude oil fell below the $70 mark to settle at $66.73 at the close of trading Thursday (the NYMEX floor was closed Friday, July 3, in observance of the Fourth of July holiday).

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

Crash claims life of Seaford teen

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

Keyshawn Purnell, 17, was driving a 1997 Ford Taurus on SR 9 eastbound.

Man arrested for sexual assault

Crash involving fire truck

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

The investigation began when the Division of Family Services received a complaint that the 11-year-old victim told a school counselor that she didn’t want to be around Webber because he hurt her.

DFS officials interviewed the victim, the victim’s mother and Webber, but did not find any credible evidence. Webber is a close friend of the family and cares for the victim after school.

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

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

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

MORNING STAR • JULY 9 - 15, 2009

Wendy Roberts welcomed Doing the Towns Together as Laurel library’s director LAUREL AND DELMAR SOCIALS

Change is a given in the life of each of us. Some of the changes we experience happen and we never give the change a second thought. Other changes require special consideration on the part of each of us.

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

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

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

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

In talking with Wendy last week, her first comments were that the community be made aware of the outstanding job the staff has done to keep the library and all of the services offered viable in the community.

“These women, along with the Friends of the Library and the commissioners, have done a tremendous job, and I can’t thank them enough.” Wendy is no stranger to life here on “the shore.” Although she and her husband, Butch, a retired history teacher, moved here from Michigan, she grew up in the Easton, Md., area, where her grandparents lived on Travelers Rest Farm.

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

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

Moments With Mike Virginia ‘Mike’ Barton wait to show them our new home and the Laurel Library.”

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

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

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

Programs offered by the Laurel library include the summer reading program with 100 young people already involved, an active teen program, the Friends of the Library, a genealogical study program that is outstanding, the Sussex County Library Commission, a knitting group that meets regularly, a community room that is available for local groups to use, computers, magazines, newspapers, a quiet room to just sit and read, research assistance, and books on every subject from A to Z. May Laurelites well remember the days of the “old library,” where silence was the key word. Hushed tones were required when speaking. As time went by, more services were offered to the public and the Laurel library now has the distinction of being one of the best facilities in the State of Delaware.

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

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

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

Sarah Marie TriviTS • 875-3672 A travel happy group of W.P.S. members arrived home on Sunday, June 28, following a week’s sojourn in Hawaii. Many who had never seen the glories of that state and several returnees reveled in the beauty of the islands again.

Charlene and Darrell Meade of Bethel are celebrating their 30-year wedding anniversary as they take in sea, sun and sights of the Dominican Republic this week. Happy anniversary and many more may you have!

I’ve been talking to Eleanor Paradee again as she keeps me up to date, as a proud grandparent, on the accomplishments of her grandchildren. Lindsay, who graduated from the Beebe School of nursing in May, has proven her abilities by passing her State Boards and is now a registered nurse (R.N.) and is on duty at the Beebe Hospital in Lewes.

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

Jean and Stanley Smith of Laurel celebrated their 60th anniversary on June 25.

They both have been members of Charity Lodge No. 27 for more than 35 years, Jean with Martha Rebekah No. 30, and Stanley with Charity No. 27 and Martha Rebekah No. 30. Stanley was also on the Odd Fellows Cemetery committee for around 15 years.

They were co-owners with G. T. Lowe Bus Service in Laurel. Congratulations folks.

The Western Sussex Democratic Club is holding their annual summer “fling” at 6 p.m. on July 13 at the Dukes recreation pool house. So, come along members, meat is furnished, bring a dish, and top it all off with homemade ice cream.

A great big thanks from the “staff” at Melsons for the great turn out and aid from all of those who helped make their ice cream social a huge success. Also, there will be at Melson’s Community Hall, on July 18, a

reunion for the Delmar High Class of ‘74, a 35-year celebration. For more info if needed call 410-896-9493.

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

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

Happy birthday to Billie Jane Wheatley, wherever she may be on July 15. Best ever, B.J. As we express our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Oliver Shields I would like to add that Jeff called me and asked that I express the family’s thanks for the prompt and caring response from the Laurel firemen, E.M.T.’s and police who aided them in the emergency for Oliver on June 29.

Abuse of freedom of speech

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

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

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

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

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

Schell brothers are Delawareans

In the June 29th edition of the News Journal, Denis McGlynn, the illustrious chairman of Dover Downs, wrote one of the most transparent and misleading articles I have read in a long time. There is no doubt that his obvious fear of significant competition is the reason for his malicious attempt to discredit the Schell brothers (Preston and Chris) and their proposed plans to make Sussex County a special, gambling destination by way of their DelPointe project.

Mr. McGlynn, in his insipid attack, deviously attempts to portray the Schell brothers as California carpet baggers and money hungry interlopers. Frankly, nothing irritates me more, when someone like McGlynn, with an obviously, avaricious agenda, takes a malicious shot at decent, hard-working people by misrepresenting the facts to hopefully gain an unfair advantage. As someone who is in the know, I refuse to let that happen!

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

Delaware tradition.

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

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

After college and graduate school, the brothers both became year round residents of Sussex County, are now married and raising their own families. They own and operate a very successful construction company and have produced some extraordinary developments. They are not by any means carpet baggers or interlopers as Mr. McGlynn suggests; they are Delawareans.

Furthermore, my old friend Joe Schell (their father) is now also a full-time resident of Lewes Beach.

Let me tell you some other things I know. Preston Schell is the founder and vice chairman of the Sussex County Land Trust that has preserved over 5,200 acres in Delaware. Preston and Chris personally, and through their various companies, have given over $1 million dollars to this Land Trust. The Schell family has given and raised over $4 million for the Lewes Canal Front Park. Additionally, thousands of dollars have been donated by these folks to numerous charities including The Children’s Beach House, Delaware Food Bank, Habitat for Humanity, United Way, and the Nature Conservancy just to name a few. Of further interest, Chris Schell sits on the University of Delaware’s Board of Regents, a rare honor for any Delawarean.

To speculate on McGlynn’s diatribe - California Interlopers? I think not; they seem like Delawareans to me.

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

I suggest that Mr. McGlynn does some

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

AARP to plug ‘doughnut hole’

It is estimated that one million older Americans may fall into the “doughnut hole,” the coverage gap in Medicare’s prescription drug program which makes individuals responsible for all their own drug costs while still paying premiums. AARP has created a new online resource to help people better understand and avoid this potential coverage gap.

The AARP Doughnut Hole Calculator, available at www.aarp.org/doughnuthole, guides visitors through prescription drug options and helps them determine if, or when, they will fall into the coverage gap.

They will be able to see a graph of monthly spending, research lower cost drugs for certain conditions, and create a medication record for their doctor.

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

Moral authority rests with God

A recent editorial discussing the issue of sports betting and gambling concluded with the statement, “You can’t dictate morality.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

Consider for a moment our use of that word “ought.” What gives you the right to tell me that I “ought” to do something?

On what basis? Your own moral authority? What makes your moral authority any higher than my own? It doesn’t. Therein lies the problem. As Lewis explained our morality must be based upon something outside of ourselves, otherwise it is simply an opinion absent of any real authority.

So again, whose morality do we dictate? How and upon what authority do we determine right and wrong? These are the questions we all must consider. I propose to you that moral authority rests with God. He has placed a moral law within the human heart to point us to Himself. The very presence of a moral law indicates the existence of a lawgiver who is the objective or absolute standard of all morality.

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

The moral law is one of the many ways God has made Himself and His expectations known to us, and we are all responsible for this revelation.

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

Seaford proceeding with $2.7 million water improvement projects

Seaford Mayor Ed Butler and City Manager Dolores Slatcher hold a check representing the money that will be spent on some water improvement projects in the city.

Voters in June approved the city’s plan to borrow $2.7 million for improvements to its water system. A little more than half of the total debt, $1.4 million, will be paid by the federal government through the economic stimulus package.

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

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

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

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

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

The new, six-car ferry replaced the old three-car ferry, which was 46 years old.

Locals are hopeful that the ferry is operational for the Woodland Ferry Festival, set for Sept. 12.

Looks like we’re slow learners

“The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.

How to Train a Cat

Our young daughter had adopted a stray cat. To my distress, he began to use the back of our new sofa as a scratching post.

“Don’t worry,” my husband reassured me.

“I’ll have him trained in no time.”

I watched for several days as my husband patiently “trained” our new pet.

Whenever the cat scratched, my husband deposited him outdoors to teach him a lesson.

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