Seaford’s Cory Palmer dies in service to his country By Lynn R. Parks and Ronald MacArthur Cory Palmer’s birthday was yesterday. The 2002 Seaford High School graduate would have been 22. But there was no celebration. Palmer, the son of Charles and Danna Palmer of Seaford, died this weekend after being wounded May 1 in a roadside bombing in Iraq. Palmer’s uncle, Ralph Palmer, also of Seaford, said on Monday that one Marine was killed outright in the explosion and that Cory was badly burned. He added that Charles and Danna Palmer were in Texas, where they flew to meet their son after learning that he had been injured. Cory died while being flown from Germany, where he was taken after the incident, to a burn treatment facility in San Antonio. Cory joined the Marine Corps in February 2003, after attending West Virginia University. He was a corporal, stationed at Camp LeJeune, N.C. He had been in Iraq for five weeks, on his
second tour there as a member of the 2nd Recon Battalion, A Company, 1st Platoon. He is the second Seaford High School graduate to be killed in Iraq. Ryan Long, who Cpl. Cory Palmer graduated in 1984-2006 1999, was killed April 3, 2003, when a car at a checkpoint where Long was a guard exploded. Since the start of the war in Iraq, more than 2,420 soldiers and Marines have been killed. More than 17,600 soldiers and Marines have been wounded. Montine Willin of Seaford is Danna Palmer’s sister and Cory’s aunt. She
described her nephew as a “lively, fun and life-loving young man.” “Anything Cory did, he did wholeheartedly,” added his grandmother, Kristina Swain, also of Seaford. Willin said that everyone in the family is experiencing “deep grief.” “The loss is too great to bear,” she added. “There was so much more that everybody had planned with Cory.” Palmer and Michael Bleile were classmates and played on the Seaford High soccer team. Bleile, who is a student at Salisbury University, Salisbury, Md., said that he saw Palmer about two years ago, after Palmer had completed his basic training. “He told me all about being in boot camp, and I was pretty much amazed at what they put you through,” Bleile said. “He told me that he wanted to be a guard at Camp David,” the presidential retreat west of Washington, D.C. Bleile said that Palmer, who played midfield, had to work hard to make the soccer team in his senior year. “He worked his tail off, running and everyContinued to page 12

State prepares for execution By Ronald MacArthur The Delaware Department of Correction is preparing for the court-ordered execution of Robert W. Jackson III. The execution is scheduled between 12:01 a.m. and 3 a.m. on Friday, May 19. Jackson was found guilty of the April 3, 1992 murder of a Hockessin woman. He was also found guilty of trying to arrange the murder of James Burton, one of the men who testified against him during his 1992 trial. The Hockessin woman surprised Jackson and his accomplice Anthony Lachette as they were leaving her home after breaking in and stealing items to sell and purchase drugs. Lachette fled the area but Jackson remained and killed the woman with an ax. He was arrested on April 9, 1992. According to a court spokesperson, the pending court case in California regarding the legality of using lethal injections will not delay the scheduled execution in Delaware. His stay of execution was denied by the Delaware Superior Court on April 5. DERBY WINNER - For the second year a row, a horse with Delaware ties has won the Kentucky Derby. The winner Barbaro has won six straight races, a streak that started last fall at Delaware Park.

City officials not happy with proposed road By Lynn R. Parks The city of Seaford is expressing its displeasure with a state proposal for a permanent business entrance off U.S. 13, just north of Elks Road. The Delaware Department of Transportation is proposing allowing the property at the northwest corner of 13 and Elks Road to have access to the dual highway. But city manager Dolores Slatcher said that allowing such access would only confuse an intersection that has just recently been reconfigured to be less confusing. “Do we want to create another situation like the one we just got rid of?” she said. “I think they are just asking for accidents again,” added councilwoman Grace
Peterson. According to the state plans, a church is being proposed for the south corner of the land. Slatcher admitted that a temporary access from U.S. 13 to the property will probably be necessary. But she said that as the land is developed and a proposed service road is built along the west edge of the property, giving any buildings built on it access to Elks Road, any U.S. 13 entrance should be eliminated. Slatcher will send a letter to DelDOT, expressing the city’s concerns. While the property is not in the city limits, the state, realizing that the city is moving in that direction, wanted its comments on the proposal.

Delmar man killed in accident at U.S. 13 intersection
Just two months after retiring from the city council seat she held for 12 years, Grace Peterson returned to the council chambers Tuesday night. She was sworn in to fill the seat left vacant by the death of Larry Miller, who was elected to his eighth term as councilman in March. Miller died April 11. At the last city council meeting he attended, he was named vice mayor by Mayor Ed Butler. Councilman Rhea Shannon, who was elected to the council in March, is the city’s new vice mayor. He is also serving
as police commissioner, a position Miller held for years. Peterson is the council liaison with city operations, councilwoman Pat Jones is the liaison with the parks and recreation department and councilman Mike Vincent is electric and fire commissioner. Councilwoman Leanne Phillips-Lowe, who was named to the council to fill the seat left vacant when Butler was elected mayor, is liaison with city administration. Peterson, with her husband Ben at her side, was sworn into her seat by city clerk Sharon Drugash. “It is so good to have her back,” said Butler.

Western Sussex back roads considered for new scenic, historic byway By Ronald MacArthur Anyone who travels on the back roads of western Sussex County knows there are some special roads that not only get you where you are going, but also provide access to beautiful scenery and historic spots. Because of that, groups in western Sussex have begun the process to possibly get a route designated as a Delaware Scenic & Historic Highway in western Sussex (tentatively called the Western Sussex Historic Byway). There are currently two roads in New Castle County with the designation - with no roads in southern Delaware. Members of the Seaford and Laurel chambers of commerce and the historical societies have met twice with Maria Andaya, a project planner with the Delaware Department of Transportation to learn more about the program. Last Thursday, the group met to pinpoint locations on a map that have special significance to the area - either historically or as points of interest. The next step is to devise a
route to connect as many of the locations as possible. Locations listed included the Ross Mansion, Trussom Pond, Bethel and Portsville, the Woodland Ferry, etc. Debbie Mitchell of the Laurel Chamber pointed out that some of the work has been done because the area has the Southern Delaware Heritage Trail already in place. The trail, opened in 2002, links many of the places listed by the group with roads throughout western Sussex - from Greenwood to Delmar. Andaya explained that a Scenic and Historic Highway offers an alternative route away from major highways, while helping to tell a story about the area’s heritage, recreational activities or beauty. She said that in order for a road (or route) to receive the designation and become part of the state and federal system, it must meet one of the following criteria: scenic, historic, cultural, recreational, natural or archaeological. “And what is there must be seen by travelers,” she added. “There is no question there are
roads in this area that meet this criteria,” she added. She will join with group members this week to ride part of the existing Heritage Trail to help develop a possible route. A sponsor also must be found for the project, which is usually a non-profit organization. Once a route is designated as a Scenic and Historical Highway, several things can happen, according to Andaya. Those include possible increased funding from
the state and federal governments, protection for the roadway and other resources along it that might be threatened, improved road maintenance, access to resources, identification on highway maps and assistance from the state offices of economic development and tourism. Once a route is selected, the group will have to write a corridor management plan. That plan will be evaluated by a committee with the final decision being

This mission is possible thanks to Caitlin Wasson The first major fund raiser for “Mission: Possible” will be at Mt. Olivet United Methodist Church on Saturday, May 13, at 7 p.m. “Mission: Possible” is an organization started by Caitlin Wasson, a 10th grader at Seaford High School. She plans to contact area churches, schools and music teachers to identify those youth who could use these funds for their musical education. The concert will have a wide variety of musical styles performed by local talent. These performers range in age from 14 years old to retirement age. Pastor Tom Gross of Mount Olivet will begin the concert with several praise and worship songs. Cindy Bennett, accompanist of the Southern Delaware Choral Society, will perform “I Have Found a Hiding Place” on piano. Brenna James, who has been a member of the all-state band will play flute. Lori Jones a leader of the praise and worship team for Laurel Wesleyan Church will sing “Jesus Take the Wheel” and “In My Life.” The Christian rock band
“Undying Trust” with members Matt McCreary, Drew Graham and Jordan Kellermyer will play several numbers. Lori Miller, a leader of the Gethsemane Church praise and worship team will entertain with “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and “Fields of Mercy.” Katie Hickey will perform “You Raise Me Up,” Jessica hearn will sing “My Redeemer” and Wasson will sing “Untitled Hymn (Come to Jesus)” and “I Don’t Know How to Love Him.” The Choral ensemble of the Southern Delaware Choral Society will appear as well as vocalist Beverly La Fazia. Vital Signs, a band made up of several area physicians and medical personnel, will keep everyone rocking to some oldies but goodies. Tickets, which are $10 for adults and $5 for students, are on sale at the Mt. Olivet Church office, Heritage Jewelers and the night of the concert (while seating is still available). Donations are also being accepted. Contact Caitlin Wasson at 629-6304.

She said that state officials in Maryland designated 31 byways as Scenic and Historic - all state sponsored. “Our program is different in that we working from the grassroots asking local groups to sponsor,” Andaya said. “We are working to expand and add more byways.” Rt. 9 along the Delaware Bay and the route that follows the Underground Railroad are on the list.

Public reminded of dangers during Electrical Safety Month Delmarva Power employees and others who work with electricity year-round are acutely aware of the need for safety at all times. Since May is Electrical Safety month, and also a time to do work around your property, Delmarva Power reminds everyone to be careful when working with or near electricity. “Contact with electricity can cause serious injury or death,” says Larry Larimore, senior safety coordinator for Delmarva Power. “Electrical contact causes thousands of injuries and hundreds of deaths each year. Most of these injuries and deaths can be avoided with an increased awareness of electrical safety, such as noting locations of power lines when working outside.” When trimming trees or working around your home, know where the electric wires and equipment are and how to work safely around them. Avoid unnecessary risks when working
with electricity by calling a licensed contractor or electrician. If you are planning to dig, notify Miss Utility of Delmarva at 1-800-441-8355 to make sure the underground utilities are located and marked in advance as a safety precaution. Here are some additional electrical safety tips to follow this spring and yearround: • Remind children to stay away from electric facilities such as substations, transmission towers and transformers. • When carrying long or tall items, such as ladders, tree saws and pool cleaning equipment, hold them parallel to the ground. Look up before you raise them into the air to be sure they’re clear of any power lines. • Remember that electricity can move through conductive materials, such as water, metal, wood, aluminum, string and plastics. • Stay away from overhead lines. Be very watchful if you are trimming trees or work on near the electrical connection to your property. If you need to work near overhead wires, call Delmarva Power at 1800-375-7117. For more information on using electricity safely, visit www.delmarva.com.
Poultry and Soybean Industries want you to enjoy chicken tonight Delmarva Poultry Industry, Inc. (DPI), the trade association for the Delmarva Peninsula’s broiler chicken industry, and the Delaware Soybean Board and Maryland Soybean Board, groups working for the state’s soybean farmers, have announced the creation of a new promotion to benefit both segments of agriculture. The soybean boards’ “thankachicken. com” promotion that began last year is intended to help the soybean farmers’ largest customers, which in the Delmarva region is the chicken industry. In other parts of the nation soybean farmers are promoting other sectors of animal agriculture. By helping their largest customers, soybean farmers benefit because it maintains or increases demand for their products. The Delaware and Maryland soybean boards are funded by farmers through the

national soybean checkoff program. Through the checkoff one-half of one percent of the net market value of soybeans is assessed at the first point of sale for soybean research, marketing and education. During the campaign kick-off, DPI President Roger Marino noted the important relationship between the poultry industry and soybean growers. “We are very happy to be partners once again with America’s and this region’s soybean growers. They are an essential part of the three-legged stool that is needed to sustain Delmarva’s chicken industry. Those three legs are the poultry growers, the poultry companies, and the farmers who grow the feed ingredients needed by our chickens.” In a press recent conference near Georgetown, Susanne Zilberfarb, representing the Delaware Soybean Board, and Roger Schmick, vice chairman of the Maryland Soybean Board, and Marino announced the theme for this year’s promotion. “We wanted a message that would be effective and appropriate at this time. The message we chose is that chicken is a safe, nutritious, and delicious product to eat, as it always has been. “But right now the message is being overlooked by some people who are concerned about the Asian strain of influenza
that has been circulating in Asia and Europe.” Marino stressed that the United States is free of the Asian-Strain H5N1 influenza. Using soybean farmers’ money, 1,000 signs have been printed carrying the message, “Safe, Delicious, Nutritious…Eat chicken Tonight.” The signs were distributed through DPI to its members, starting at DPI’s annual membership booster banquet on April 25. These 24- by 18-inch signs are intended for display on farms, in members’ residential areas, and at poultry-related businesses to assure consumers that chicken is safe to eat. During his remarks, Marino stressed the unprecedented health surveillance of Delmarva’s chicken flocks. He assured consumers that chicken products will never come from houses where an avian influenza virus has been found. All birds in an avian influenza-positive house will be humanely destroyed and composted in the chicken houses. Marino said, “Consumers can be assured that Delmarva birds exposed to any type of avian influenza virus will not get into commerce.” Persons wanting new ways to prepare chicken can find them at the DPI website www.dpichicken.org and by contacting the Delmarva Poultry Industry office at 1-800878-2449.

Charles Allen III receives the top DPI honor Delmarva Poultry Industry, Inc. (DPI), the trade association for the Delmarva Peninsula’s chicken industry, held its 50th annual Booster Banquet April 25 in Salisbury and recognized 20 persons for outstanding work in or for the chicken industry. The J. Frank Gordy, Sr. Delmarva Distinguished Citizen Award, DPI’s highest honor, was presented to Charles C. Allen III, president and CEO of Allen Family Foods, Inc., a family-owned integrated poultry company based in Seaford. Allen has been a leader in Delmarva’s and the nation’s poultry industries, serving as chairman of the National Chicken Council in 1992-1993 and chairman of the National Chicken Cooking Contest in 2003. He is a regular contributor of ideas and policy recommendations to DPI and active in the political arena. His community contributions include service on the University of Delaware board of trustees, the Delaware Community Foundation and Nanticoke Health Services, Inc. He is a third generation poultry producer for a company that began operations in 1919. DPI’s Medal of Achievement awards were presented to Maryland Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr. and Delaware Secretary of Agriculture Michael T. Scuse. Gov. Ehrlich was honored for his efforts to strengthen the Maryland chicken industry and for reversing a negative attitude about the chicken industry in the highest echelons of the Maryland government. Specifically he was cited for his many contributions to help the poultry industry and all of agriculture during his three years as governor. His Poultry Issues Action Team in 2003, the reaffirmation of an avian influenza memorandum of understanding last year, an environmental agreement with Delmarva’s poultry companies in 2005, upholding an administrative law judge’s ruling against an illegal co-permitting scheme that his predecessor tried to foist upon the chicken companies, and this year’s Governor’s Agricultural Forum are among the governor’s accomplishments that were cited. It was noted that he was the first Maryland governor to attend the DPI

Booster Banquet in its 50-year history. Michael Scuse was recognized for the many initiatives he has undertaken during his five years as Delaware secretary of agriculture. Of particular note was the leadership he has shown on avian influenza response and preparedness matters. During Delmarva’s 2004 avian influenza episode, he was involved in day to day activities and decision making. In the intervening years he has continued that aggressive involvement to help protect
Delaware’s and Delmarva’s chicken industries. Additionally, his work to protect the rights of farmers, to slow federal government intervention in the chicken industry, to investigate alternative electric sources for Delaware poultry growers, and his work to preserve farmers and farmland were lauded by DPI. Additionally, DPI recognized the following outstanding poultry producers. Selected by their companies from Delmarva’s 2,000 poultry growers, this year’s re-
cipients are: Wendy Bingham, Delmar, Del. - Tyson Foods, Inc.; Hand Me Down Farm (Jody and Donna Brown and Vickie Lambden), Bridgeville - Allen’s Hatchery, Inc.; Janet and Charles Postles, Milford - Perdue Farms Inc.; John and Diane Robbins, Milford - Allen’s Hatchery, Inc.; Frank and Dolly Timmons, Delmar, Del. - Mountaire Farms of Delmarva, Inc.; and Norris, Phyllis and Kevin West, Laurel - Allen’s Hatchery, Inc.
Utility Rates are Changing …So is the Plan to Help You Adjust T
he plan to allow Delmarva Power customers in Delaware to phase in new electricity rates has changed, to make it consistent with our plan in Maryland. We recognize and regret that recent changes may be confusing. At Delmarva Power, we want to help you make the right choice and explain how the phase-in plan will affect your monthly electricity bill. As we work across multiple states, it is our desire to ensure that all our customers feel they are well informed and treated fairly.
N
By participating in the phase-in plan, customers will pay lower rates now but pay the full increased cost of electricity plus the deferred amount later.
We invite you to ask questions, take action and visit our Web site. Your decision will affect what you pay for electricity for many months to come.
Delaware customers originally had until April 28th to make a decision whether to opt out of the phase-in plan or accept automatic enrollment. Customers who want to change their status can now take as long as they need to do so. We do, however, urge you to act quickly given that the new rates are already in effect.
Additional information will arrive soon in your mail, but if you have questions now, Delmarva Power is here to help. Visit our Web site at www.delmarva.com.
Similarly, if you originally opted out of the phase-in plan and remain comfortable with that decision, no further action is required. N If you are in the phase-in plan and wish to “opt out” or, N If you previously “opted out” of the plan and now wish to enroll, contact us by visiting www.delmarva.com or by calling 1-877-285-9316. Please have your account number handy.
Under the phase-in plan, your total bill will increase relative to your current bill as follows:
Interest charges have also been eliminated for customers choosing to phase-in the new rates. What hasn’t changed is the fact that customers in the phase in plan ultimately will pay the full increased cost of electricity plus the deferred amount beginning January 1, 2008.
Step 1: 15% on May 1, 2006;
We suggest the following:
Step 3: 19% on June 1, 2007, assuming no further changes in wholesale price;
N
If you are in the phase-in plan and wish to remain enrolled, no further action is required.
Step 2: 25% on January 1, 2007;
Step 4: Customers will begin to pay back the amount deferred from January 1, 2008 through June 1, 2009. This balance will be spread and billed equally during these 17 months.

thing else,” he said. But that work paid off, Bleile added: “I remember when he scored the game-winning goal against IR, and we finished the game 2-1. He loved every second of it, and we all loved it because of him. It couldn’t have happened to a better person at the time. We had a saying, that good things happen to good people, and that was a good thing that happened to him.” Bleile said that Palmer was changed after he went through his basic training. “There was a major difference in him after he was in the Marines,” he said. “The mil-
Seaford flags at half-mast Seaford Mayor Edward H. Butler Jr. has announced that flags at all city of Seaford facilities will be lowered to half mast in memory of the death of Cpl. Cory L. Palmer of Seaford. Cpl. Palmer was serving his country in Iraq in 2nd Recon Battalion, A Company 1st Platoon when he was mortally wounded. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time. It is a small token of our gratitude for Cory’s service to our Country that we lower our flags in his remembrance, and we encourage all local entities to do the same,” said Butler. It is with the governor’s blessing that the state flag be lowered. The White House has advised that the U.S. flag also be lowered in conjunction with the governor’s decision. Flags will remain at half mast until following the services, which have yet to be announced.
itary made him a man. You could tell that. If he had gotten out of the service, there is no doubt that he would have done something very meaningful with the rest of his life. “ “He was a great kid, and the Marines gave him the mechanism to become that wonderful man that he became,” added Willin. Tim Lee, a Seaford High School teacher and soccer coach, remembers Palmer as a free spirit. Lee said that he spent time talking with Palmer this past November during the annual alumni soccer game. “I was impressed with his maturity,” he said. “I guess that came from being older and serving in a war zone. He had turned into a man. There is no doubt that he was proud of what he was doing. “He was very much into the military mindset and he knew that this was the right thing for him to be doing. He had found his niche in life. It’s sad that it has to come to an end like this,” he added. Lee remembers Palmer as a unique student. “When he was in school, he was a handful, but a likable handful. There was something about him that made you like him. During his senior year, he matured somewhat and ended up playing on the varsity team. “My memory of Cory as a high school senior was that of a prankster,” the coach said. “It was great to see how he had turned out. He was one of our success stories.” The news of a loss of a young person is becoming too frequent in Lee’s life. Over the past three to four years, five young
people from Seaford whom he has coached have passed away — three in accidents and two in the military. “If this is a reflection on the U.S. how many young people die, it’s very sad. Events like this bring it home to all of us,” Lee said.
In addition to his parents, Palmer is survived by two brothers, Thad and Kyle, both of Seaford, his paternal grandparents, Byron and Phyllis Palmer, and his maternal grandmother, Kristina Swain. As of press time, information about his funeral service was unavailable.
Two Seaford youth have died in Iraq By Lynn R. Parks Cory Palmer, who died Friday from injuries he received in an explosion in Iraq, was the second Seaford High School graduate to be killed in the war. Army Spc. Ryan Long, 21, a 1999 graduate of Seaford High School, was killed near Baghdad April 3, 2003, in a suicide bombing. Both men were killed just days before their 22nd birthdays. Long was the son of Rudy and Donna Long. Like Palmer, Long played on the Seaford soccer team; when Long was a senior, Palmer was a freshman. Long also played on the school’s golf team. At the time of his death, he was a member of the Army’s Rangers, an elite lightinfantry unit charged with carrying out special missions. He was serving with the 3rd Battalion of the 75th Ranger Regiment, based in Fort Benning, Ga., According to reports released after Long’s death, he was killed at a checkpoint northwest of Baghdad. A woman, who appeared to be pregnant, jumped out of a stopped car and was screaming. When
the soldiers approached the car, it exploded. Two soldiers in addition to Long were killed and two were injured. Also killed were the woman and the driver of the car. The Long family moved to Seaford in 1989. Rudy Long was a career Army officer and retired after 23 years as a major with the Army Reserves. He said after his son’s death that Ryan always wanted to join the military, following in the footsteps not only of his father but of his grandfather and great-grandfather as well. At Seaford High, Ryan Long was a member of the Junior Naval ROTC program. He joined the Army on Sept. 7, 1999, just four months after graduating from high school. He underwent his training, including the Ranger course and paratrooper training, at Fort Benning. Before going to Iraq, he served two tours of duty in Afghanistan. Services for Long were held April 12, 2003, in Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, Seaford. He was buried April 16 in Gockel Cemetery at St. Mary Help of Christians Roman Catholic Church, Glen Haven, Wis.

Mother, son charged in series of burglaries On May 3, Delaware State Police detectives at Troop 4 completed an investigation into an alleged interstate burglary ring involving Everett L. and Lois E. Pack of Pot-Nets Bayside. According to Cpl. Jeffry C. Oldham, public information officer, the investigation began on April 19, when a detective from the Lancaster Police Department in Pennsylvania contacted Troop 7 to inquire about the Packs, whom they believed were living in Millsboro. The Lancaster police told Delaware police the mother and son were driving a silver PT Cruiser with stolen Pennsylvania tags, and the car had been seen at a burglary scene. It was also reported that they were pawning numerous items in pawn shops in Pennsylvania. Additionally, Lois Pack was wanted on violation of probation in Lancaster County, and Everett Pack was wanted for violation of parole by Pennsylvania State Police. Detectives confirmed that the Packs were residing on River Road in Pot-Nets Bayside. They also confirmed that the silver PT Cruiser was present, but the registration plates had been switched. This plate had been stolen from a different vehicle in the Lancaster area. Detectives
from Troop 4 contacted multiple police departments in the Lancaster area, according to Oldham, and with their help received pawn lists. From these lists it was determined that the Packs had allegedly pawned items that had been stolen from self storage units and vehicles that were burglarized in the Millsboro and Milton areas. On April 28, detectives along with troopers from Troop 7, attempted to execute a search warrant at their residence. However, the Packs refused to come to the door, and barricaded themselves inside with a pit-bull, according to Oldham. During a brief standoff, Everett Pack attempted to flee from the residence through a back door. However, he was taken into custody without incident. Officers then entered the residence and took Lois Pack into custody. During the execution of the search warrant, officers located a small amount of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, hypodermic needles, a stolen stereo, and numerous stolen vehicle registration plates. The subsequent investigation has linked the Packs to three home burglaries and three residential shed burglaries in PotNets Bayside, 18 self-storage unit burgla-

ries (which occurred at Longneck Mini Storage, Sentinel Self Storage, and Peninsula Self Storage), vehicle burglaries, and the theft of a utility trailer. A total of $35,472 in property was stolen during these burglaries, and $1,520 worth of damage was caused. The stolen utility trailer was recovered in Lancaster. The Packs have also been linked to more than 20 burglaries and thefts in Pennsylvania. Some of these crimes included the theft of firearms and vehicles. Everett L. Pack, 30, of River Road, was arrested on 103 criminal charges including burglary, conspiracy, theft, attempted theft, criminal mischief, receiving stolen property, resisting arrest, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, and possession of a hypodermic needle. He was committed to the Sussex Correctional Institution in lieu of $64,500 cash bail. Lois E. Pack, 68, of River Road, was arrested on 100 criminal charges including burglary, conspiracy, theft, attempted theft, criminal mischief, receiving stolen property, and resisting arrest. She was committed to the Women’s Correctional Institution in lieu of $59,500 cash bail.
Female law officers attend conference in Rehoboth In early May, nearly 200 female law enforcement officers from the region joined for the Mid-Atlantic Association of Women in Law Enforcement 20th annual conference at the Atlantic Sands Hotel & Conference Center in Rehoboth Beach.

back, then fell back. Within minutes, he was dead. I felt sick. Foolishly sick, I scolded myself as I gave up on cutting the grass and went back inside. Groundhogs are a dime a dozen — we see them all the time, walking on ditch banks, foraging along the side of the road, squashed on the highway. And Maisey was only acting out of instinct — killing to eat despite the fact that she had inside a bowl full of food and that she too wobbles when she walks. But my yard is a sanctuary. It is where I go, not to encounter but to escape from the world of violence and needless death. It is the place where there are no newspapers, no newscasts, no daily announcements of war dead and bombs. Where beauty and quiet can cover man’s willingness, even after tens of thousands of years of civilization, to turn to
weapons to solve disputes. In tribute to the groundhog, I read about his kind in our faithful guide to the natural world, the “Fieldbook of Natural History” by Laurence Palmer and Seymour Fowler. I skimmed over the part about spring litters of two to eight, “blind, naked and helpless,” and focused on the animal’s range, more than half of the United States, and on its habits. “Fights most effectively,” the book says. “Whistles when alarmed.” Oddly enough, in the scientific classification of things, order primates falls just before order rodentia, of which the groundhog is a member. In my book, the entry on man, a primate, is on the page previous to that of the groundhog entry. I found myself reading about the natural history of Homo sapiens, and of our accomplishments in science, art, literature, archi-
tecture and music. Then in a chapter called “Man, the Destroyer,” Palmer and Fowler conclude their entry: “We have enslaved weaker races and weaker individuals of our own race and of our own families. We have kept people in ignorance of how they can avoid disease, of how they can live within their incomes. In part as a result of these practices, we find a world of recurring, increasingly destructive wars. For this, our generation will be considered as lacking in intelligence by our successors. We shall justly deserve this condemnation.” The groundhog has been buried. Maisey has turned her attention back to rabbits, which she has no hope of catching, and to lying in the sun while I pull weeds. Our garden, as long as I don’t think about the groundhog, is peaceful again.

Seaford’s Jeff Deats selected 2006 Operator of the Year By Lynn R. Parks Jeff Deats, superintendent at Seaford’s wastewater treatment plant, has been named this year’s State Wastewater Operator of the Year. He was honored at a ceremony last Wednesday at Delaware Technical and Community College, Georgetown. Deats was nominated for the award by Charles Anderson, city director of operations, and Dolores Slatcher, city manager. Their nomination letter cites Deats’ innovation at the treatment plant, finding new ways of doing things to save the city money, and his willingness to go beyond what is required. He served barbecue at a City Safety Committee class on using fire extinguishers, for example, and volunteered as grounds and logistics chairman for the city’s Riverfest. The nomination letter also cites the federal EPA operations and maintenance excellence award that the plant received in 2004. Deats, 43, started work at the treatment plant in 1990. He was named superintendent in 1997, when he was 35. “I am appreciative that the city gave me an opportunity at such a young age,” he said. “Probably the biggest thing I had going for me was just a passion to do well and to learn more.” When Deats started as superintendent,
the Seaford plant was in the process of installing its biological nutrient removal system, which at the time was one of the most advanced systems in the state. That upgrade, completed in 1998, enabled the plant to be licensed to treat 2 million gallons of waste a day. Currently, the plant treats about 1 million gallons per day, half of its capacity. But that does not mean that Deats and the plant’s other five employees can just kick back and take it easy. If all the homes that are planned for construction in the city are actually built, the plant will have to treat 4 million gallons of waste a day. In addition, state regulations regarding nitrogen and phosphorus that are dumped into the Nanticoke River are getting stricter. While the plant can now released treated water with 8 milligrams of nitrogen and 3 milligrams of phosphorus per liter, the state will require that those numbers be reduced to 4 milligrams for nitrogen and less than 1 milligram for phosphorus. The plant’s license renewal is currently pending; Deats guesses that the licensing renewal will come with a mandate that the plant expand and improve within five years. He was unable to say how much that expansion will cost. Deats said that the service that the wastewater treatment plant provides is invaluable to the effort to clean up the Nan-

ticoke River. “A lot of people think of wastewater treatment plants as polluting, but we don’t see ourselves that way,” he said. “We are first-line environmentalists. We are doing this work to protect the environment.” He praised the workers at the plant. “I feel very fortunate to be able to work with the group of guys that I work with,” he said. “They recognize that good working conditions take a lot of work and they ac-
cept each other and appreciate each other’s talents and abilities. It is hard to find a group of people like that.” Deats is a 1981 graduate of Dover High School He and his wife Lexie have four daughters, Breanna Bly, Seaford, Crystal Goins, Cincinnati, Ohio, Samantha Deats, a student at Seaford High School, and Brittany Deats, a student at Seaford Middle School.

With bikers in line, new trail opens at Trap Pond State Park By Ronald MacArthur With several dozen bike riders on the new Trap Pond State Park bike trail bridge ready to take part in the third annual Get in Gear Bike Rally, Ann Allen, president of the Trap Pond Partners, cut the ribbon Saturday morning to officially dedicate the

5-mile trail. Several state park officials also took part in the dedication ceremony, including David Small, deputy secretary of the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), and Greg Abbott, deputy director of the Delaware State Parks. The new bike and walking trail encircles the 3,245-acre park located east of Laurel. The idea for the trail was initiated by State Sen. Robert Venables (D-Laurel) who could not attend the dedication because of other commitments. “Even with all of the improvements at the park, Sen. Venables thought something was missing,” Abbott said during the brief ceremony. “It was a bike trail - a multi-use trail. He told us to build a first-class trail and he would find the way to fund it.” Abbott explained that the final cost of the trail was $2 million, with funding from several sources. He also thanked Rep. Biff Lee (R-Laurel) and State Sen. Tina Fallon (R-Seaford) for their support of the trail. Allen told the group that a donation of 20 bicycles was being made to the park to be used on the new trail. She explained that the bicycles will be loaned on a firstcome basis free of charge to park users. There is access to the trail from the dayuse area and the campground in the park. Funds to purchase the bikes came from proceeds from last year’s Get in Gear Bike Rally and 21st Century funds from Delaware State Parks. Abbott offered some history about Trap Pond State Park, the state’s first park, dat-

ing back to the early 1950s. The pond was created to provide power to a saw mill in the late 1700s. The pond with 1,000 acres was turned over to the federal government in the 1930s with the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) working to turn the area into a park. In fact, the pavilion where the dedication ceremony took place was built by the CCC in the 1930s. The park was turned over to the state in 1951 and more land
has been added over the years to the current 3,245 acres. The park contains the northern most stand of bald cypress trees in the United States. “There is not a prettier place in Delaware,” Abbott said. With that the contingient walked over to the new bridge built for the trail and cut the ribbon, which also signaled the start of the bike rally.

Relay for Life’s aim is to strike out cancer Western Sussex event is taking place at Cancer Care Center on May 19 and 20 By Lynn R. Parks The reasons for participating in the May 19 and 20 Western Sussex Relay for Life to benefit the American Cancer Society are simple, said chairwoman Mary Catherine Hopkins. “Do you want to help make the world a better place?” she asked. “Do you want to help find a cure?” And, “Do you want to make some wonderful friends?” added relay volunteer Dena King. King’s father-in-law, John Palen, and father, Peter King, died from cancer about a year apart, one in 2004 and the other in 2005, and she said that participating in the relay has helped her family through the grieving process.

House of Hope ‘friend-raiser’ on May 26 Sara Trollinger, national House of Hope president and founder, is scheduled to speak at the Shiloh House of Hope’s first “friend-raiser,” Friday, May 26. The event will be at the Sam Yoder community building with Chinese and silent auctions scheduled for 6 p.m. and dinner at 7 p.m. Seventeen years ago, Trollinger, a former school teacher, was led by the Lord to establish a faith-based ministry called House of Hope, a residential home where hurting, troubled, throw-away teens could learn to accept responsibility, submit to authority, and to get along with peers and adults.

ENTERTAINMENT Winners galore during Beast of the East Custom Bike Show Seven days after challenging her friends if they were real bikers or not, Josie Daigle was rewarded for her exuberant motorcycle spirit. The 40-year-old Abingdon, Md., resident was at Iron Core Custom Motorcycles, reluctantly on four wheels dragging a trailer, to pick up her new ride. Daigle had won the Iron Core Custom Motorcycle, one of two John and his fellow employee Bobby Alderman had designed just for the Beast of the East Custom Bike Show. For the record, Daigle liked the red-striped, ape-hanger bobber

that Bobby had poured his heart into. The cleaner, muscular-looking white model John had built now sits for sale in the Virginia Beach show room Not that it was a contest between the two men, they each helped one another in their areas of expertise, but Bobby was proud, it was his bobber getting all the attention. But let’s back up to April 22, the middle of three days of the Beast of the East Custom Bike Show in Salisbury, Md. Daigle insisted that her group ride to the show, a complete exhibition featuring more than 20 professional builders with their eyes on $15,000 in prize money, a ride-in bike show (in the rain), two charity rides and even custom cars and stunt shows thrown in for flavor. Joining Daigle on the 138-mile ride in the rain was Brenda Hartmann, Gregg Hartmann and Gary Hartmann. The bubbly blond, seen flashing a peace sign to local photographer Big Brad as her group headed out – in the rain – to return home Saturday, was the lucky name drawn first Sunday afternoon. While Linda from Jolly Roger Customs held her name aloft in anticipation while the second and third place awards were handed out; a $1,000 off a 2006 Harley-Davidson from Harley-Davidson of Ocean City and $500 off a Polaris ATV from Harley-Davidson of Seaford. Once it was apparent Daigle was not present, the challenge of tracking her down started – she had forgotten to write down her phone number. But Benet McCormick, the promoter for the Beast of the East Custom Bike Show found her Sunday evening to let her know of her special door prize. A chance for winning the Iron Core

The festival begins with an all-you-caneat breakfast from 7 to 9 a.m. It features pancakes, sausage, sausage gravy, scrambled eggs, juice, and coffee and is $6 for adults, and $3 for children ages 2-10.

Possum Point Players to perform farce ‘Moon Over Buffalo’ ■ “Moon Over Buffalo,” presented by Possum Point Players, June 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11. 8 p.m. and matinees (June 4, 11). Call the ticketline at 856-4560.
Possum Point Players are in rehearsal for the comedy “Moon Over Buffalo”, by Ken Ludwig. The show opens at Possum Hall in Georgetown on June 2. Director Jim Hartzell of Georgetown is taking on this production. “Moon Over Buffalo is a true ‘Situation Comedy’,” he explains, “The humor genuinely rises out of the situations involved in each moment.
It’s very physical, fast-paced, and full of confusion!” “Moon Over Buffalo” depicts through farcical slapstick humor the mix-ups that happen in a close-knit theatrical family. These seem more dramatic to those involved, as the mix-ups are taking place in an aging repertory theatre company and those connected with it. One ongoing “situational comedy” begins when the leads in the company are informed that the great director Frank Capra will be in the audience. They’ve never before met Capra, and so there is some mis-
taken identity. Another “situational comedy” involves the eternal question of marital fidelity. Has George been philandering? Will Charlotte leave with the wealthy Richard? The answers to these questions are revealed in bits and pieces throughout the show, and it’s anybody’s guess who will be with whom at the end. As people come and go before the big performance, other questions arise among the troupe: Will Frank Capra make it all the way to Buffalo? Will George be sober enough to perform? Does anyone even
know which show they should be performing? The resulting performance, ostensibly before one of the greatest movie directors in history, is a culmination of the day’s catastrophic events, and is a humorous performance for all the wrong reasons. “Moon Over Buffalo” will be presented June 2, 3, 9 & 10 at 8 p.m., and on June 4 and 11 at 2 p.m. Tickets are on sale now and can be obtained by calling the Possum Point Players ticketline at (302) 856-4560. Tickets are $15, or $14 for seniors or students. Directions are available by calling the Possum ticketline.

Possum Point Players are in rehearsal for the comedy “Moon Over Buffalo”, by Ken Ludwig. The show opens at Possum Hall in Georgetown on June 2. Director Jim Hartzell of Georgetown is taking on this production. “Moon Over Buffalo is a true ‘Situation Comedy’,” he explains, “The humor genuinely rises out of the situations involved in each moment.
It’s very physical, fast-paced, and full of confusion!” “Moon Over Buffalo” depicts through farcical slapstick humor the mix-ups that happen in a close-knit theatrical family. These seem more dramatic to those involved, as the mix-ups are taking place in an aging repertory theatre company and those connected with it. One ongoing “situational comedy” begins when the leads in the company are informed that the great director Frank Capra will be in the audience. They’ve never before met Capra, and so there is some mis-
taken identity. Another “situational comedy” involves the eternal question of marital fidelity. Has George been philandering? Will Charlotte leave with the wealthy Richard? The answers to these questions are revealed in bits and pieces throughout the show, and it’s anybody’s guess who will be with whom at the end. As people come and go before the big performance, other questions arise among the troupe: Will Frank Capra make it all the way to Buffalo? Will George be sober enough to perform? Does anyone even
know which show they should be performing? The resulting performance, ostensibly before one of the greatest movie directors in history, is a culmination of the day’s catastrophic events, and is a humorous performance for all the wrong reasons. “Moon Over Buffalo” will be presented June 2, 3, 9 & 10 at 8 p.m., and on June 4 and 11 at 2 p.m. Tickets are on sale now and can be obtained by calling the Possum Point Players ticketline at (302) 856-4560. Tickets are $15, or $14 for seniors or students. Directions are available by calling the Possum ticketline.

Derrick Lofland, coach of the Woodbridge baseball team, should be very proud of the supporters for his program. Enthusiasm ran high for the Laurel game, with signs and all and a very vocal fun group. The Raiders hand out a very nice program to people who attend the games. The program features the Raiders schedule and the seniors’ picture on the front, and is very nice.

Serving Our Community for Over 100 Years!
Education Center in Georgetown last week. I enjoyed myself tremendously, as I got to talk to many people whom I seldom see. One of them was 1963 Laurel High School graduate Lonnie Hearn, who lives in Newark. Lonnie is the director of media services for the University of Delaware, a very prestigious position that Lonnie makes little of in the way of discussing. Lonnie produced the brief documentary on the Carvels and the new building and it was a very touching tribute to the Carvels.

Health Wood ticks, plentiful in summer, can carry disease By Dr. Anthony Policastro Nanticoke Memorial Hospital, Medical director
Summer is a time for being outside. That carries with it a variety of risks. One of those risks is a disease that is carried by ticks. Ticks are common in this area. One of the ticks that we see commonly is the dog tick. It is also known as the wood tick. These ticks are relatively large. They are often 1/4 inch in length. The dog tick can carry Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. It got its name because that is the location where the disease was first discovered. However, the disease is much more common along the Atlantic Coastal areas. The time frame for it is in the summer months. That is when people go into wooded areas. That is when ticks are more plentiful. In years with a mild winter, ticks survive better. We had a mild winter this year. That would mean we could expect to see more ticks. As its name would suggest this disease often has a high fever. The fever frequently reaches 103 to 104 degrees. It also has a rash associated with it. The rash frequently begins on the palms and soles. The rash is reddish colored. The rash does not consist of blisters. A viral condition called hand, foot and mouth disease causes blisters on the palms and soles. It also occurs during the summer. As its name suggests, it also has blisters in the mouth. It is a minor illness. Thus, just having a rash on the palms and soles does not necessarily mean Rocky
Mountain Spotter Fever. The third symptom is bad headache. The headache is often the most severe headache the patient has ever had. When a patient shows up with a bad headache, fever and rash after a tick bite, the diagnosis is easy. However, many patients do not always have the history of tick bite. Some do not have the rash when they first come in. There are a lot of things that can cause headache and fever. For that reason, the diagnosis is not that easy in these situations. The good news is that Rocky Mountain Spotter Fever can be treated successfully with antibiotics. The bad news is that if the treatment is not started early, it can be a serious illness. Not every one with a tick bite develops the illness. The tick has to be one that carries the illness. It must be attached long enough to transmit the illness. Therefore, there is no reason to use antibiotics for every tick bite. There is a need to start them when the symptoms occur. Wood ticks can cause local infections as well. They can cause an inflammation at the site of the attachment. Some times a tick can be hidden in a child’s scalp. The only clue might be swollen glands at the back of the child’s neck. There are multiple ways suggested of removing ticks. However, the one recommended by most experts is use of a tweezers. The tick is grabbed as close to the head as possible. Then, gentle pulling of the tick with the tweezers will usually result in removal. You might want to add a

NMH to celebrate National Cancer Survivors Day Nanticoke Memorial Hospital will celebrate National Cancer Survivors Day (NCSD) on Sunday, June 4. Seaford will honor cancer survivors who are living with and beyond cancer and will also recognize those healthcare professionals who are helping to fight the battle against cancer. Nanticoke Health Services is hosting a cancer survivor recognition to commemorate NCSD. More than 700 communities throughout the United States, Canada and other participating countries will celebrate life as part of the 19th annual NCSD, the world’s largest cancer survivor event. “Cancer survivors are an inspiration to all of us. Learn why surviving cancer is an attitude about life and living each day to the fullest. This event will lift your spirit,” says Terri Clifton, coordinator for Nanticoke Health Services. “You will find our community’s NCSD event overflowing with joy, camaraderie, hope, compassion, faith, and love as we honor cancer survivors and those who support them, and call attention to the issues of cancer survivorship.” This local event is part of a worldwide celebration coordinated by the National Cancer Survivors Day Foundation and sponsored by “Coping” magazine and Lilly Oncology. A cancer survivor is defined by the NCSD Foundation as anyone living with a history of cancer — from the moment of diagnosis through the remainder of life. Ten million Americans are now living with and beyond a diagnosis of cancer. In the United States, half of all men and one third of all women are expected to be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives. Many forms of cancer
Miss America 1999 to speak on fight against diabetes Nicole Johnson Baker, Miss America 1999 and an international advocate for the fight against diabetes, will speak at Peninsula Regional Medical Center, Salisbury, Md., on Thursday, May 11, in an event co-sponsored by the Medical Center and its diabetes outpatient education program. Johnson Baker, who travels extensively promoting awareness, prevention and early detection of the condition she shares, will speak on “How You Can Be Successful With Diabetes” at the 1 p.m. presentation in the Avery W. Hall Educational Center auditorium on the Peninsula Regional campus in Salisbury. When not lecturing, Johnson Baker spends much of her time engaging lawmakers at both the state and federal levels on all diabetes-related matters. She serves as the first ambassador for the International Diabetes Federation’s “Life for a Child” program, which advocates for endangered children with diabetes around the world. Johnson Baker co-hosts the weekly CNBC diabetes talk show, “dLife,” writes monthly columns for “Diabetes Health” magazine and has a Web column on Georgetown University’s MyCareTeam Web site. Her three books include her autobiography, “Living with Diabetes,” which, in part, chronicles her experiences as Miss America 1999. Her fourth book, a new cookbook, “Mr. Food Diabetic Dinners in a Dash Featuring Nicole Johnson Baker,” was released in March. Johnson Baker is working on her fifth book, her story of her successful diabetes pregnancy. She and her husband Scott live with his three children and new little Ava Grace Baker in Pittsburgh, Pa. There is no charge to attend the May 11 event. However, space is limited and reservations are required. Call the Peninsula Regional Medical Center Diabetes Outpatient Education Program at 410-543-7061 to reserve a seat. Light refreshments will be served.
can be prevented and most can be cured if detected early. Major advances in cancer prevention, early detection and treatment have resulted in longer survival and therefore a growing number of cancer survivors. However, a cancer diagnosis can leave a host of problems in its wake. Physical, financial and emotional hardships often persist after diagnosis and treatment. Survivors may face many challenges such as hindered access to cancer specialists and promising new treatments, inadequate insurance, financial hardships, employment problems and psychological struggles. In light of these difficulties, attention needs to be focused on improving the critical aspects of longterm care for cancer survivors. “Despite the adversities they face, cancer survivors continue to show resilience by living active, productive
lives,” says Clifton. “They face each day with courage and dignity in their fight against cancer.” The idea for NCSD originated in Kansas City when cancer survivor Richard Bloch, co-founder of H&R Block, and his wife, Annette, held their first Cancer Survivor Rally to demonstrate that a cancer diagnosis is not an automatic death sentence. The idea soon caught on in other communities and has come to be known as National Cancer Survivors Day. This year’s local National Cancer Survivors Day celebration of life will be held in at the Nanticoke Memorial Hospital Cancer Care Center on Saturday, June 4, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. For more information contact Nanticoke’s Cancer Care Center coordinator at (302) 629-6611, extension 2577.

Hospital is accredited by association of Blood Banks Nanticoke Memorial Hospital, Seaford, has been accredited by the American Association of Blood Banks. “Accreditation follows an intensive onsite inspection by specially trained representatives of the Association and establishes that the level of medical, technical and administrative performance within the facility meets or exceeds the standards set by the AABB,” said Nanticoke Health Services CEO/president Daniel J. Werner. By successfully meeting those requirements, Nanticoke Memorial Hospital joins more than 1,800 similar facilities across the United States and abroad that have earned AABB accreditation. According to Dr. William A. Diedrich Jr., laboratory medical director at Nanticoke Memorial Hospital, “The AABB’s inspection and accreditation procedures are voluntary. For more than 30 years, Nanti-
coke has achieved this accreditation by meeting strict requirements on a daily basis and completing numerous assessments when units of blood are handled. “Nanticoke Memorial Hospital has sought AABB accreditation because this program assists facilities around the country in achieving excellence by promoting a level of professional and medical expertise that contributes to quality performance.” “Through the dedication of all Nanticoke Memorial Hospital Laboratory employees, our community receives the necessary blood products when they are needed,” said Nanticoke blood bank clinical leader Brenda Lewis. Since 1958, the AABB has been engaged in the accreditation of blood banks and transfusion services. The Accreditation Program assists blood banks and transfusion services in determining whether
methods, procedures, personnel knowledge, equipment and the facility meet established requirements. Established in 1947, the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) is the professional society for approximately 2,000 community, regional, and Red Cross blood centers; hospital-based blood banks and transfusion services; and more than 8,000 individuals engaged in blood bank and transfusion medicine. Its member facilities are responsible for collecting virtually all of the nation’s blood supply and for transfusing more than 80 percent of the blood used for patient care in the United States. The AABB sets standards, assesses and accredits blood collection and transfusion facilities, and provides continuing education and information.

Insurance commissioner warns of Medicare deadline Delaware Insurance Commissioner Matt Denn recently reminded all eligible seniors and others with Medicare that they must decide whether to join one of the new federal Medicare prescription drug plans by May 15 or face higher costs if they choose to sign up later. “The Medicare prescription drug plans are not right for everyone and the decision to join or not must be based on a person’s specific situation,” Denn said. “But anyone who is eligible to sign up now and
chooses not to will likely have to pay higher premiums or higher co-pays if they sign up for a plan later. And the next open enrollment won’t be until the end of the year.” To help seniors evaluate and compare the almost 50 drug plans offered in Delaware, Denn has scheduled the “Reality Check Express” — a bus/mobile office with internet-connected computers and trained staff — to travel around the state offering one-on-one help to seniors.
“I urge all those Medicare recipients who have not yet performed a plan comparison and evaluation to come to one of the Reality Check Express stops scheduled in the next two weeks,” Denn said. No appointment is necessary for a Reality Check Express counseling session and there is no charge. Those who come should bring the full name of any prescription drugs they currently take; whether it is liquid, tablet or capsule; strength and dosage (for example, 100 mg, two times a

The perfect recipes for Mother’s Day breakfast in bed On a lovely, sunny Mother’s Day not long ago, a friend’s husband took her out to brunch. Being the spontaneous sort, reservations were not something he’d considered. Arriving at his chosen eatery, the husband and his honored guest were reluctantly turned away — there wasn’t a table to be had. Jumping back in their vehicle, they proceeded to travel south, stopping at other dining spots that seemed worthy of the occasion. Their standards decreased somewhat as brunch time turned to the dinner hour but their luck didn’t change. Having to be content with a nice Sunday ride, they returned home to leftovers. My Mother’s Day dream would not be anything so ambitious as to drive to a restaurant but to sleep in and wake to a brunch lovingly prepared by someone close to me. “Dream” is the operative word since the reality is that it is I who wake to lovingly prepare the brunch for someone close to me: “You love to cook, you’d do it so much faster, it would taste so much better, I’ll clean up.” I’d do anything to get out of doing the dishes. Here’s a menu for a brunch easy enough for anyone with time for a short trip to the market and a couple of free hours on Sunday morning. If you’re lucky, that someone won’t be you. If you’re so inclined, start with a Kir Royale: Pour a bit of Crème de Cassis or Chambord in a champagne flute and top with a not too expensive dry champagne. Drop a few fresh raspberries in.

Nickerson was the country’s first domestic violence liaison with the Division of Family Services in Sussex County and developed/expanded the program as she networked with police, courts, counseling and supportive community services to provide wraparound services to women in or leaving a violent relationship. As a victim of domestic/sexual abuse herself, Nickerson was able to motivate and inspire the women with whom she works to establish a safe life for themselves, their children, find employment, and continue their education. She is very clear that the abuse she endured during her childhood is what made her who she is today.

SEAFORD’S BASEBALL HISTORY: 1946-1949 WERE THE YEARS OF THE EAGLES - FIRST IN A SERIES
Minor League baseball was major pastime for people in this area By Mike Lambert This is the first installment of a series of six articles that I am going to write about a short and exciting period of time in Seaford’s rich baseball history. For those of you who remember the Seaford Eagles; sit back and enjoy the memories and for those of you who have never heard of this team, I believe that you will find reading about the Eagles and this wonderful era very enjoyable. Beginning in the spring of 1946 and ending after the 1949 season, the Seaford Eagles Baseball Club was a class “D” professional minor league baseball team that represented Seaford as a member of the
Eastern Shore Baseball League (ESL). Other teams from Delaware that participated in this league were the Milford Red Sox, Rehoboth Beach Pirates and the Dover Phillies. The Maryland clubs entered in the Eastern Shore League were the Salisbury Cardinals, Centreville Orioles, Easton Yankees, Cambridge Dodgers and the Federalsburg A’s. The Centerville club was a member of the Eastern Shore League only in 1946 (and won the ESL championship). While the Milford and Dover teams played from 1946-1948, and Rehoboth Beach from 1947-1949. Each of the other teams played in all four seasons that the Eastern Shore League existed.

In early 1946 the Seaford Baseball Club was incorporated and shares of stock were sold at $10 each with many of the prominent local businessmen in charge of selling the stock and promoting the ball team. A contest was held to select a team moniker and the lucky winner (Arnold Spicer) received a free pass to all of the home games during the exciting inaugural season. The Seaford Eagles operated as an independent minor league baseball team for the 1946 season. During the 1947 and 1948 seasons, the Eagles had a working agreement with the National League New York Giants, and in 1949 the Eagles were a farm club of the Philadelphia Phillies. Seaford’s home games were played in a newly-constructed ballpark on Middleford Road, where Soroptimist Park is now located. During those four seasons, there were many ballplayers that traveled to and through Seaford to play professional baseball, and a few of these young men ultimately married local ladies and made Seaford their permanent home. There were also a number of Eastern Shore natives who saw action with various teams in the Eastern Shore League, including Seaford. With a variety of former major league players as well as future major league players on the Seaford Eagles roster at one time or another, the Seaford Baseball Club was a big hit with the local citizens. From years of researching the Eagles, interviewing many former players and becoming enamored with them all; I have realized two things about this wonderful era.
The local citizens totally embraced their ball team, and those men who wore the Seaford Eagles uniform genuinely loved to play the game of baseball. The next installment of this series will cover the inaugural 1946 season of the Seaford Eagles baseball club. E-mail questions or comments to seafordeagles@comcast.net
Mike Lambert adds the finishing touches to a Seaford Eagles baseball display at the Seaford Museum. The display is open during museum hours which are 1 to 4 p.m. on Thursday - Sunday (special requests are also considered). The museum is located on High Street in downtown Seaford.

Seaford High track team hurt by lack of numbers By Ronald MacArthur Heading into the final week of the regular season, the Seaford High boys’ track team has gone 2-3 over the past two weeks. Overall, the team is 3-6. The Blue Jays beat Woodbridge 10044 and Sussex Central 116-23 but fell to Milford 98-48, Lake Forest 78-67 and Caesar Rodney 103-43. “We lost five members of the team at the break because of grades,” said firstyear coach Art Doakes. “That really hurt us, especially in the relays. With all of our team together, I think we could have won the Southern Division title and probably finished second in the conference.” In the May 4 meet against Milford, Seaford was almost shut of victory lane. Jimmy Senatus won the 800-meter run and Zach Hunt won the pole vault with the 4x400 relay team of Gernie Purnell, Allandson Simon, Corri Turnage and Senatus taking first. Purnell was also second in the 100-meter and 400-meter runs. In
the field events, Elizer Dorelus was second in the triple jump, Derek Page was second in the high jump and third in the long jump, Midelen Jules was second in the shot put and Eric Fisher was second in the discus. Taking thirds in the field events were Tony Linton in the high jump, Derek Babinski in the shot put and Mike Ruehr in the discus. Dorelus was third in the 110-hurdles and the 300-hurdles and Wybean Titus was third in the 800-meter run. Seaford dominated action in the win over Sussex Central on May 2, winning every event but the 3200-meter run and taking every place but one third place in the field events. Purnell won the 400-meter, 100-meter and 200-meter runs and Dorelus won the 300-hurdles, 110-hurdles, the long jump and triple jump. Rob Urell won the 1600-meter run, Senatus won the 800-meter run and in the relays, the 4x800 team of Titus, Gary Andrews, Simon and Senatus won as did the Continued on page 48

Seaford varsity softball team riding a four-game winning streak The Seaford High softball team is heading into the final quarter of the season with high hopes of making the state tournament. With a 12-0, five-inning victory over Woodbridge on Friday, the team made it four wins in a row with an 8-4 record. “I figure it will take 12 wins to get into the state tournament,” coach Dave Rogers said. “Our goal is to get into the state tournament; it’s been awhile since a Seaford team has made it. And we are a young team so that will give us something to build on because we are only losing one player.” Against Woodbridge, Heather Draper pitched a one-hitter with seven strikeouts. At the plate, sophomore Danielle Haldeman paced the team going 3-3, hitting two home runs in the third inning. She finished the game with four RBI. Keri Bergh was 3-3 with two RBI, Kelsey Riggleman was 2-3 with one RBI, Bitty Hood had two hits with one RBI and Amanda Swift had two hits. “We need to keep playing like we have the last week or so,” the coach added. “We need to keep playing at the same level we are right now. We are starting to hit the ball.”

Blue Raider rally falls short in 10-5 loss to Bulldogs By Pat Murphy Whenever the Bulldogs and Raiders get together for a baseball game it is usually a hard fought game and an unpredictable battle. Such was the case as the Bulldogs visited Woodbridge on May 3 and came away with a 10-5 victory over Raider ace Justin Bailey. The Bulldog win raised their record to 9-7 and kept them very much in the chase for a playoff spot. The Raider loss put them at 9-8, dimming their chances for a spot in the playoffs. “It could put a dent in our chances for the state tournament,” said Raider coach Derek Lofland. The Raiders jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the second inning when Anthony Gamba was hit by a pitch by Laurel starter David Bartee with two outs. Wagner Matos followed with a line drive double to right center that scored Gamba for the first run of the game. Bailey mowed the Bulldogs down the first three innings, facing just two hitters over the minimum. The Raiders scored another run in the bottom of the third on a single by Derek Nennstiehl, a steal, and a run batted in single by Bailey. Ryan Messick then singled and Laurel coach Jerry Mears wasted no time bringing in Taylor Jones who recorded a save the day before. Jones induced a ground ball out to get out of the jam. In the top of the fourth, after a strikeSeaford track continued 4x400 team of Urell, Simon, Senatus and Purnell. Jeff Alfreide was third in the 100 and 200-meter runs, Dan McCluskey was third in the 3200-meter run, Titus was third in the 400meter run and Charles Larrimore was third in the 800-meter run. Taking seconds were Panalosky St. Fort in the 110-hurdles, Simon in the 400-meter and Tyler Delgado in the 3200-meter. In the field events, Page won the high jump and was second in the long jump, Fisher won the shot put, Ruehr won the discus and was second in the shot put and Hunt won the pole vault. Tony Linton was second in the triple and high jumps, Jules was second in the discus and Larrimore took second in the pole vault.Terry Hood was third in the long, triple and high jumps, Babinski was third in the discus and McCluskey was third in the pole vault. In the close loss to Lake Forest on May 2, Dorelus was a fourtime winner again taking firsts in the 110- and 300-hurdles, long jump and triple jump. Purnell won the 100- and 400-meter runs and was third in the 200-meter and Page won the high jump and was second in the long jump. Urell was second in the 1600-meter, St. Fort was second in the 300-hurdles, Linton was second in the triple and high jumps, Fisher was second in the shot put and Hunt was second in the pole vault. Hood was third in the triple and high jumps and Larrimore was
out of the dangerous Antwon Trimball, Bailey’s control failed him. Bailey plunked Trent Passwaters on the first pitch, followed by a single by Matt Dodson. Two wild pitches moved the runners on the corners with Passwaters scoring on one of the wild pitches. Jones promptly stole second to put two in scoring position and senior Tyler Schreiber delivered a two run single making it 3-2 Laurel. Matt Parker then drew a walk and Brandon Hearne drove in a run on a ground out. Jeff Taylor worked yet another walk to set the stage for what might have been the key hit of the game. After fanning twice in the game Lance Kelley singled to right field scoring two runs and giving the Bulldogs a 6-2 lead. Trimball fanned to end a 40 pitch inning for Bailey. The never say die Raiders scored three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning against Jones but it was not enough as the tying run was left at third. The inning began as John Rutkowski reached on an error and the next hitter (Nennstiehl) was hit by a pitch. Matt Bowman then laced a single to score a run to make it 6-3. Bailey walked to load the bases with no outs. Messick and Dustin Richards both grounded to second to knock in two runs to bring it to 6-5 before a strikeout ended the rally. The Bulldogs went down quietly in the fifth and sixth before tacking on four
third in the pole vault.Senatus was third in the 800-meter and Delgado was third in the 3200-meter. In the win over Woodbridge on April 25, Page won the long jump and high jump, Purnell won the 100-, 400- and 200-meter runs and Urell won the 1600- and 3200-meter runs. Larrimore won the pole vault and Dorelus won the triple jump and was second in the 110hurdles and 300-hurdles. Linton was second in the high and triple jumps. In the loss to CR on April 25, Purnell won the 400-meter, was second in the 200-meter and third in the 100-meter. Page won the high jump and was second in the long jump. Fisher won the shot put and Ruehr won the discus and was third in the shot put. Dorelus was second in the 110- and third in the 300-hurdles and triple jump. Urell was third in the 1600-meter, Simons was third in the 800-meter and Jules was third in the discus. Personal records for team members are as follows: Page, 6’2” in the high jump; Hood, 5’8” in the high jump; Dorelus, 43.0 in the 300-hurdles and 15.3 in the 110hurdles; O’Benson Oscar, 5:57 in the 1600-meter run; Senatus, 2:15 in the 800-meter run; Josh Sample, 2:14 in the 800-meter run; Fisher, 40’6” in the shot and 106 feet in the discus; Ruehr, 99 feet in the discus; Jules, 98-feet in the discus; Clayton Lester, 84-feet in the discus; Zach Hunt, 10’6” in the pole vault; Titus, 2:15 in the 800-meter run; Andrews, 2:18 in the 800-meter run; and Purnell, 11.3 in the 100-meter run.

more runs in the seventh on only one hit against reliever Ryan Messick. After back to back walks to Taylor and Kelley, Trimball had a chance to redeem himself after two rare strikeouts but coach Jerry Mears called on him to bunt. Trimball laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt which put two runners in scoring position. Passwaters was intentionally walked to load the bases. Matt Dodson then hit a Baltimore chop single through a drawn in infield which scored two runs. Jones rolled out for another run and Passwaters
scored on a wild pitch to give the Bulldogs a final 10-6 lead. “It’s (the team) what it’s all about,” Trimball said of the bunt. The Raiders went down in order in the seventh. Woodbridge coach said the loss was not all starting pitcher Justin Bailey’s fault. “We made mistakes, breakdowns,” Lofland said. “This is a very good rivalry. It was a great win for Laurel.” “When Bailey is on, he’s tough. He had a complete game against Seaford,” continued Lofland.

Mac’s World By Ronald MacArthur
Cory Palmer was proud to be a U.S. Marine Just when you think things are going well, sad news takes the wind of your sails. Our sympathy goes out to the Palmer and Swain families in the loss of their loved one, Cory Palmer, who died from wounds suffered while on duty in Iraq. His mother Danna (Swain) and father Charles are both lifelong Seaford residents. I got to know Cory pretty well during his spin through Seaford High school as a member of the cross country team for two seasons and the soccer team during his senior year (2001-2002). Anyone who knew Cory knew that if anyone was a free spirit, he was one. He marched to his own drummer and seemed to reject authority whenever he could. But even so, you couldn’t help but like the small-framed guy. I was skimming through some back editions and found an article about the first goal he scored as a member of the soccer team. That was a proud moment for him. He was a talented athlete, but he enjoyed life a little too much to really knuckle down and work hard at sports. Running came naturally to him so any sport with running involved interested him. He seemed to be searching for something to hold on to. Knowing his background, I was shocked when his mother Danna called me to tell me that he had enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps and was actually in training to join an elite unit in the Marines. She was proud as any mother could be - proud that her son (one of three sons in the family) had found his niche. For a guy who seemed to shy away from authority, joining the most authoritative military force on earth was a surprise. But he excelled and became one of the best of the best. He came home during the Thanksgiving holiday and played in the Seaford High alumni soccer game. Coach Tim Lee said that his transformation from high school prankster to U.S. Marine was good for him. Everyone who knew Cory said that he was proud to be a Marine and was proud of what he was doing. The bitter tragedy is that Cory struggled to find his way and
once he found his mission in life, his young life was cut short. SEASON WINDS DOWN - It’s hard to believe that the high school sports season is just about over. The track and tennis teams have conference tournaments this weekend. Most teams end their regular season play May 16 or 18. Looking ahead the last week of the season is an important one to the Seaford High softball and baseball teams. Both teams are a little on the bubble as far as the state tournament is concerned. Seaford’s last conference game at home against Cape Henlopen this Thursday falls in the “must win” category. The Jays finish the regular season with two non-conference games on May 13 and 16. The softball team finishes at home against Cape and then plays out a tie game with Delmar on May 15. The game was called because of darkness on March 30. Both games are critical for Seaford. The tennis teams are going into the post-season with impressive records. As of May 9, both teams had only one loss. The boys lost to Caesar Rodney 3-2 and the girls fell to Dover 4-1. The girls’ 3-2 win over Caesar Rodney last week was a big one. Girls’ coach Bob Hastings was really crying the blues at the start of the season, saying that a .500 season was about the best that could be hoped for. He told me that he had said that in the past, but he really meant it this season. The team is 11-1. OFF TRACK - The Seaford High track team really needs a big shot in the arm. Over the past few years, there has been a steady decline in the number of athletes going out for the boys’ and girls’ track teams. This year, the numbers are as low as they have ever been - in a sport where numbers are needed to fill out relay teams and the multitude of other events. It’s a real shame because coach Rob Perciful is one of the top track coaches in the state. His background and knowledge of the sport is unmatched in this area. I hope that the declining numbers is not a sign of the times, but I feel that it is. It’s harder and harder to get high school students to commit to a sport - and committing to more than one sport is nearly impossible.
Blue Jays pull out another victory in the seventh inning Seaford High baseball coach Kenny Cummings is growing old before his time. This year’s team has a history of waiting to the final innings to make a move. On Friday, the Blue Jays went into the seventh inning behind 2-1 to Milford in a must-win game. The team went on to score three runs in the seventh for a 4-2 win to push its record to 10-6 (as of May 8). In the seventh, the Jays manufactured three runs on just one hit. Matt Terry led off with a single followed by three straight walks to Derrik Gibson, Paul Widerman and Leon Lahman. Terry scored on Lehman’s walk and Gibson scored on a fielder’s choice hit by Matt Daudt. Widerman scored on a wild pitch for the insurance run. Widerman also picked up this second win (he came within a run of a third win) going all seven innings allowing just one run on four hits with five strikeouts and two walks. At the plate, Gibson was 2-3 with two doubles and he scored two runs. Seaford ends the regular season this week playing at home against Cape Henlopen on Thursday, May 11, and at Concord on Saturday, May 13, and at St. Mark’s on Tuesday, May 16 (the final two games are non-conference games). “We really need to win three of our last four games for a good seeding in the state tournament,” Cummings said.

By Mike McClure After topping Delmar in overtime last Tuesday the Sussex Tech girls’ soccer team was at it again on Thursday. The Ravens edged Seaford, 2-1 in overtime, to improve to 9-2 in the Henlopen Conference and 9-5 overall. The game was scoreless through regulation with Sussex Tech’s Kylee Rickards scoring her team’s first goal in the first overtime period. Once again Regina Fiacco scored the game winning goal for Tech, taking a feed from Ally Mohun in the second overtime period. Katie Nennstiehl had 10 saves in goal for the Ravens. Raven golf team tops Polytech- The Sussex Tech golf team advanced to 9-1 with a 164-209 win over Polytech last Thursday.

Delaware Riptide 14U softball team plays in Smyrna tournament The Delaware Riptide 14U softball team, after a tough start, was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Smyrna Clayton Stars NSA qualifier this past weekend. The Riptide was led by Yasmin Davis, whose hitting and fielding led to her selection to receive the team most valuable player award for the tournament. Pitcher Melissa Trout tossed a shutout in the opening game of the elimination rounds and also battled the Lady Cats to a tie in pool play. Defensively, outfielders Kelsey and Alexis Oliphant continue to be defensive stalwarts with outstanding catchers. Yasmin Davis also made several spectacular plays at shortstop as did Sarah Wilson at third base. The Riptide, playing without two starters for this tournament, were tested at the plate all weekend against some very tough pitching. Brittany Thompson, along with Davis, Wilson, and Trout, all had key hits to keep the games competitive. The Riptide’s next tournament will be the NSA Heat at the Beach on May 20 in Georgetown.

Bulldog baseball rally falls short, Dover wins 8-6 By Pat Murphy The Laurel Bulldog baseball team batted around in a big seventh inning on Tuesday, May 9, scoring four runs on four hits against the Dover Senators at Laurel. The only thing is the Senators batted around in the top of the seventh to score three runs to build an 8-2 lead and hold on for the win. Matt Dodson suffered the loss and Dover’s Matt Esslinger got the win. The loss about closed the Bulldogs chances of making the state tournament in 2006. The Bulldogs have a 9-8 record with three games left in the season. Bulldog coach Jerry Mears, obviously upset with the loss, was still positive about his team. “Hey, seven out of 10 is not too bad,� said Mears. Both the Bulldogs and Senators scored two runs in the second inning. The Senators scored on a leadoff walk to Tyler Burns, a single by Mike Argyhoa, Tony Gatto’s single to score Burns, and an error allowing the second run to score. For the Bulldogs, Dodson reached on an error, Taylor Jones doubled, and Ethan Callaway hit a vicious one hopper up the middle for a single that scored both runs. The Bulldogs eventually loaded the bases but Antwon Trimball rolled out to end the rally. The score remained 2-2 into the fifth inning when the Senators went ahead 4-2. Bradie Snapp doubled, Dominic Gatto singled him home, and Esslinger reached on a fielder’s choice and scored moments later on a single by Burns. The Bulldog bats remained silent in the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth innings. The only hit off Esslinger was a Matt Dodson single. In the seventh, Joe Diana led off with a walk, Snapp singled, and both moved up on stolen bases. Dodson fell behind Dominic Gatto 3-0 so he was intentionally walked to load the bases with no outs. Andrew Esslinger promptly helped his own cause doubling in two runs on a 1-2 curve ball off reliever Taylor Jones. Burns then singled in another run followed by a sacrifice fly by Argyhoa to give Dover an 8-2 lead. The Bulldogs got things going for themselves in the bottom of the seventh but fell short after scoring four runs. Jeff Taylor reached on an infield single, Lance Kelley took a third strike, and Trimball reached on a fielder’s choice. With two outs Trent Passwaters singled, Dodson walked, and Jones got his second hit of the game scoring two runs. The Senators brought in Dominic Gallo. Callaway reached on an error scoring the third run and Dontez Horsey laced a single to right center to score the fourth run. Gatto brought the heat and fanned Brandon Hearne to end the game. The Senators improved to 10-6 in the heartbreaking loss for the 9-8 Bulldogs. Bulldog Notes: Horsey retired the last two Dover batters, racing to the right field corner for a fine running catch to get the Bulldogs out of the long inning. Laurel plays Delmar in Delmar on Friday and at Indian River on Saturday before closing out their season at St. Thomas More on Monday, May 15. Tuesday’s loss brought the Bulldogs’ home record to 3-5 for the year.

Laurel softball collects nine hits in win over Woodbridge By Mike McClure The Laurel varsity softball team moved to 6-5 in the Henlopen Conference and 10-5 overall with a 9-2 win over Woodbridge last Wednesday in Bridgeville. Laurel left two on base in the top of the first as Miranda O’Neal walked and reached second on an error with Amanda Horsey reaching on the fielder’s choice. Woodbridge’s Leah Bowman reached first on an error but was stranded in the bottom of the inning. Laurel put three on the board in the second inning when Brittney Brittingham reached first on an error, moved up to second on a sacrifice bunt by Chaniqua Kellam and scored with Kelsey Gordy (walk) on a triple by Miranda Dickerson who scored on an error. Amanda Horsey led off the third with a single, went to second and third on a sac bunt by Ashlyn Booth, and came home on a single by Brittingham to make it 4-0. Woodbridge’s Jenna Schrock picked up her team’s first hit against Laurel starter Amanda Riggins in the bottom of the third. Schrock was later caught trying to steal second on a throw from Booth to Horsey. Schrock, who was playing second base, made a nice leaping grab on a ball hit by Krista Scott before throwing Dickerson out at first to end the top of the fourth inning. Woodbridge scored one in the bottom of the inning before Laurel scored one in the fifth and two in the sixth to make it 7-1.

Proposals to cope with gas price spikes By Richard Livingston Suddenly, we are awash with angry comment because of the daily climb in retail gas prices. Prime time is loaded with equal amounts of finger-pointing and unlikely solutions. There is no mystery about this problem: prices rise when demand exceeds supply. Worldwide demand will continue growing. U.S.A. domestic drilling is shrinking. We have to bid for petroleum in a world-wide market controlled by foreigners. Prices will continue to rise until we either reduce our demand or increase our domestic supply. Several stop-gap solutions are being considered by Congress. Mostly, they are aimed at reducing price at the pump as a means of applying salve to the backhome wounds. Such actions have
Letters Policy for Seaford & Laurel Stars All letters should include the writer’s name, address and phone number for verification purposes. Names will be published. No unsigned letters will be published. No letters which the management deems to be libelous will be published. The Star reserves the right to edit or reject any letters. Send your letters to Morning Star Publications, PO Box 1000, Seaford, DE 19973, or email morningstarpub @ddmg.net to be temporary in duration and limited in scope. The worthwhile proposals, which actually are aimed at a permanent solutions, unfortunately require years (if not decades) to expand sufficiently to have a significant impact on “our addiction to oil.” Hybrid cars are well started toward providing a piece of the solution. Plug-in hybrid cars are definitely on the horizon to provide a much bigger piece of the solution. Ethanol will be available only as a fractional additive for octane control. Even forecast expansions in distillation capacity will not generate enough ethanol to equip all U.S.A. vehicles with the 10 percent blend (E10), to say nothing about an 85 percent blend (E85). Domestic ethanol is
a midget completely inadequate to replace the monster, gasoline (10.6 million barrels / day for autos). Cars are being infused with fuel from bottled hydrogen or hydrogen via fuel cells. Large problems in technology and distribution make these routes unlikely to replace significant amounts of gasoline for several decades at best. None of the above solutions will lower gas prices at the pump immediately. One action by Congress was effective in the mid 1970s. They lowered the national speed limit to 55 miles per hour. Why hasn’t this route been mentioned anywhere? The lower speed limit, coupled to a national conservation mentality, resulted in a significant reduction in petroleum
consumption thereafter. Crude oil prices fell to about 1/7 of the crisis peak. Over the next few decades we gradually lost our focus on conservation and now we are in a mess again. We, the people, have an important part to play and we have the potential to make an early contribution while waiting for Congress and the scientists to do their thing. • Consolidate your day trips • Hold to 55 on the highway, 25 in town • Accelerate gently • Don’t idle, turn it off • Keep tires at standard inflation • Next time, buy a smaller vehicle.
Thank you, Tina for your years of dedicated service History is made and a consensus is reached — Republicans, Democrats and Independents have all agreed to meet in Seaford on Saturday, May 20, and say “thank you Tina.”
Everyone will have the opportunity to give a much deserved tribute to Tina Fallon who has served us all well in the Delaware House of Representative for the past 28 years. In November 2005, Tina announced her retirement. Her work ethic and dedication to her community has become a legacy. She is extremely respected by not only her constituents, but also by her peers. She is a great lady with a great personality, so please take the opportunity to pay homage to this great lady. The tickets are only $25 each. There will be many dignitaries there who are coming to honor Tina and many who want to give their personal thanks. It will be a night you won’t want to miss — great food, good friends, music and a couple of surprises as well. You can buy tickets at the city of Seaford office in downtown Seaford, 629-9173, or by call Anne Nesbitt 628-7788. We look forward to seeing you all there. Daniel B. Short, Former mayor City of Seaford

The commission voted to condemn the property based on the committee’s recommendation. The owner of the building will be given a chance to speak at a public hearing.

proposed to change how all municipalities in the state vote. Under the legislation residents would have to bring in a utility or telephone bill to prove residency. Conaway called it a “license to steal.” He said the town could have residents sign an affidavit saying they are who they say they are. Conaway said the town is also looking at changing from at-large commission seats to districts. He pointed out that three of the five commissioners currently live on the same block. The town will have five districts based on population, Conaway said. POLICE TRAINING - Conaway also said the Sussex County Association of Towns (SCAT) has endorsed proposed legislation that would allow certified officers from other states and military officers to take a course lasting four weeks or less (on Delaware law) to become a certified officer in Delaware. Officers certified in other states or through the military currently have to go through the state’s police academy in order to be certified police officers in Delaware.

Sussex County contributes money to provide 28 additional state policemen in Sussex County. Conaway said towns need to be reimbursed, possibly reducing the amount of state police officers needed.

Opinion Not really a company town
VIEWPOINT Impact of war hits home with loss of Seaford Marine Cory Palmer The impact of the war in Iraq hit home again with the loss of another young person. Cory Palmer, the 21-year-old son of Charles and Danna Palmer, died this past weekend from wounds he suffered in a vehicle bombing. We see the casualty numbers (over 2,400 now) and hear the daily news reports of attacks on members of the U.S. military in Iraq and Afghanistan, but we forget that numerous families in this area have loved ones in harms way. We become desensitized to the impact of the war. Families with people serving in the military are always on alert as they deal with the reality of war on a daily basis. We can’t begin to imagine the pain the families suffer. Cory Palmer found a home in the U.S. Marines and was not shy to talk about his devotion to the principles of the Marines and the importance of fighting terrorism. Cory was the best of the best, a young man willing to put his life on the line for his country. We offer our sincere condolences to the Palmer and Swain families on the loss of their loved one. Cory Palmer, a dedicated U.S. Marine serving his second tour of duty in Iraq, gave the ultimate sacrifice. PHOTO OF THE WEEK

I had an interesting conversation with a lifelong Milton resident over the weekend. He played sports at the old Milton High School, had a lot of pre-consolidation memories and could still recall many Seaford and Bridgeville athletes of the past. One of the things that he told me really set off the thought process. “When we came to Seaford to play, we really thought we were going somewhere,” he said. “Seaford was the leader in everything, and everyone else was following what they did,” he added. I asked what he thought of Seaford today, and his impression is probably what most non-area residents think. He said that because of the loss of DuPont the town has fallen from the stature it once enjoyed. The loss of DuPont — that is a big statement for a town called the “Nylon Capital of the World.” Think back to Seaford in the 1930s. It was primarily a sleepy town dependent on farming — not unlike any other small town in rural Sussex County. Then an event took place that changed Seaford forever — the announcement that the DuPont Co. was building its first nylon plant along the shores of the Nanticoke River. During the construction phase in 1938-39, the town began to transform in ways that most people never anticipated. It wasn’t long before new housing was being constructed for the onslaught of people coming to work at the new plant. Changes had to be made in the way the city was run to keep pace with the growth. Almost overnight, the size of the city doubled. Seaford became the focal point of the area for shopping, employment and the social life with the opening of the Seaford Golf & Country Club in 1941 — a club built by and supported by DuPont. It was one of the first country clubs to open in southern Delaware. The plant prospered and grew and at one point as many as 5,000 went to work there daily (including subcontractors). During shift changes, the town was overwhelmed with traffic coming and going to the plant. Police officers had to man key intersections to keep the traffic moving. DuPont employees became leaders in the town as members of the school board and city council.
