Developers blame lawsuit and loss of land for scaled-back Discovery Sports complex on 500 acres is out; strip mall and housing on 120 acres still possible By Frank B. Calio “We've put an end to Discovery Place as we had planned.” Those were the words spoken by David G. Horsey, one of the principals in the project, in an exclusive interview with the Laurel Star. Then he announced that the developers will proceed with a much scaled-down version of the project. Originally, the $500 million development on 500 acres on the north edge of town called for a million square feet of retail space, an amusement park, a hotel with an indoor water park, 1,400 homes, a 12,000-seat sports arena, a 6,000-seat baseball stadium, an equestrian center, 12 soccer fields, nine baseball fields, six volleyball courts and a free-standing firehouse. That plan is history, according to Horsey, owner of David G. Horsey and Sons, and his partner Preston Schell, president of Ocean Atlantic Associates. Reasons given by Horsey include

the developers’ inability to purchase 381 acres of land which was slated for the sporting complexes and which was sold to another developer, and the pending lawsuit by the Sussex County Organization to Limit Development Mistakes, SCOLDM. The large parcel was owned by Glenn Jones; representatives for Discovery said that the Horsey group had paid for an option on that land as well as the other parcels needed for the project that were annexed by the town of Laurel. After months of packed public hearings and controversy over the possible annexation of the land, most of which is farmland, the town annexed the land in January 2007. Groundbreaking was supposed to be the following spring; the project was expected to take 10 years to build out. SCOLDM filed its lawsuit in Chancery Court the morning before the annexation was approved by the town. The lawsuit states that the town did not

follow proper procedures in the annexation process and demanded that the process be started over. Because they did not have proper legal representation, members of SCOLDM were advised by New Castle County attorney Rich Abbott, a wellknown land-use attorney whom they contacted after filing the suit, to withdraw it. Then they hired Abbott and the lawsuit was refiled shortly thereafter by Rick and Lisa Culver and John and Sylvia Brohawn, organizers of SCOLDM. The second suit claims that the town did not follow its own charter, which, the suit says, states the property owners themselves must request annexation. On the other hand, the town believes that Discovery, with proxies from the land owners, had a right to represent those parcels and request annexation.

Development will bring 250 new homes to Laurel By Tony E. Windsor The Laurel Town Council held a first reading on the plans for Village Brooke East, a 78-acre, 250-home development along Discountland Road, east of U.S. 13, during its Monday, Nov. 5, meeting. The reading follows a public hearing held on the project on Oct. 15 before the council. The project is the second phase of the Village Brooke East development. The first phase of the project was approved by the town council in July 2006. The first phase was presented at that time as 77 single-family townhouses, 84 residential duplex units and 200 single-family homes on Discountland Road, west of U.S. 13. Monday night, Jeff Clark, landscape architect for Land Tech Land Planning LLC, Ocean View, presented preliminary plans for Village Brooke East. Clark said the new project is a planned active adult community,” which will follow the same aesthetic layout as the Village Brooke West project. Both communities will have 25,000-square-foot community centers with indoor and outdoor swimming pools, tennis courts, putting greens, cafés and restaurants. Clark said that 42 percent of the development, which amounts to about 33 acres, will remain open space. This open space will include par space and walkways. Clark added that, given the size of the parcel being developed, the town codes allow for as many as 391 homes to be built on the property. Building that many homes, though, would hurt the opportunity for open green space, he said. About five acres on the property will be developed as commercial space, with up to three stores to be included in the Village Brooke East project. During the public hearing, residents living near the project expressed concerns about increased traffic and wetlands. Laurel’s Planning and Zoning Committee recommended that the council approve the Village Brooke East project as part of the town’s new “Large Parcel Overlay Development” zoning, with 21 conditions that must be met by the developer, Samanda Properties LLC, of Gladwyn, Pa. Clark said during the public hearing in October that the developer is prepared to meet all of the stipulations listed. These include

keeping the development at a maximum of 250 residential units, assuming responsibility for stormwater management and obtaining all state agency approvals, including those from the Delaware Department of Transportation and the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control. The conditions also state that work on the development cannot begin before 7 a.m. and must conclude no later than 7 p.m. No work will be allowed on Sundays or any holiday when town hall is closed. The approval is also contingent on successful annexation of the property into the corporate limits of Laurel. The council voted unanimously to approve the first reading of the request for a large parcel overlay zoning and the master plan of the development. Each council member cited the fact that the development meets the guidelines of Laurel’s state-approved comprehensive plan for short term development of the community as a major reason to support the project. The second and final reading will be held during the Monday, Nov. 19, meeting of the town council.

LIFETIME MEMBERS - The Laurel Fire Department recently placed markers on the graves of deceased lifetime members of the fire department. Lifetime members are those with more than 20 years of service. Approximately 25 markers were placed in Odd Fellows and Laurel Hill Cemeteries in Laurel. Ed Hannigan of Short-Hannigan Funeral Home assisted in the project by locating the grave sites of as many members as possible. From left, fire department president Bill Hearn and past president Elmer Steele place a marker on the grave site of W. Jack Northam.

Laurel Schools look for help from community to address needs By Mike McClure The Laurel School Board took the first steps toward addressing the needs of their students and the aging schools they attend by holding a workshop last Wednesday at the Laurel High School auditorium. The board, district administrators and members of the public listened as Studio JAED, a company hired to assess the district's schools and help prepare for the April 8 major capital improvement referendum, presented its findings and gave options for addressing the schools’ current and future needs. Acting Superintendent Linda Schenck emphasized that the district has not made any decisions on whether to renovate or replace its four schools, two of which were built in 1921. The district is looking for the public's input prior to next spring’s referendum, starting with the next workshop which will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 28 at 7 p.m. at P.L. Dunbar Elementary School. Studio JAED conducted assessment of the schools over the summer and shared the results with the administration as well as each building's staff. On Wednesday it was the school board and the public’s turn. Following additional workshop meetings the district will come up with a plan to address the schools’ needs and will develop a certificate of necessity to submit to the Delaware Department of Education for approval. Once that is done, the referendum will take place. According to Dick Moretti, an educational planner with Studio JAED, a facilities assessment was conducted at each of the district’s existing buildings. Items that needed to be fixed, replaced, or added were given priorities (1-4). According to Moretti, priority one issues are usually things that are broken and need fixed or items that will break soon. They are also usually code issues and include problems such as a leaking roof or bad windows. Priority two items are things that will need to be addressed in three to five years, priority three items will need to be fixed within five to 10 years, and priority four items go beyond 10 years or are enhancements to the buildings. A Facility Condition Index (FCI) was also used to determine whether a building should be replaced or renovated . If the FCI is above 1 it would cost more to renovate than to construct a new school. The district's schools received the following FCI ratings: P.L. Dunbar - 1.16,

Two from Delmar injured

State Police said a vehicle crash sent two Delmar men to local hospitals on Tuesday. Police said at approximately 9:35 a.m. members of the State Police Collision Reconstruction Unit (CRU) responded to the scene of a serious vehicle crash on US 9 (County Seat HWY) west of Georgetown in the area of the University of Delaware Carvel Research and Education Center. Police said a 2002 Chevrolet Camaro operated by Andrew J. Weber, 22, of Delmar, was traveling east on County Seat Highway. According to witnesses, the Camaro was traveling at an apparent high rate of speed and passing other vehicles on a wet road when it went out of control. The Camaro exited the road and struck two light poles and three parked vehicles located in the parking lot of the Carvel Center. Andrew J. Weber was wearing a seatbelt and was transported to the Peninsula Regional Medical Center. Weber was treated and admitted in critical condition for injuries sustained in the crash. Andrew’s brother, Miles Weber, 18, also of Delmar, was a passenger in the Camaro and was wearing a seatbelt. Miles Weber was transported to Beebe Medical Center and was treated and released for non-life threatening injuries. Alcohol is not believed to be a factor in the crash. The crash remains under investigation. County Seat Highway was closed for approximately three hours while investigators examined the scene.

North Laurel - .93, Laurel Intermediate and Middle School - 1.32, Laurel High School .99. Paul Laurence Dunbar Elementary was constructed in 1921. The cost of addressing this school's needs by renovating it follows: priority 1 - $3,728,612; priority 2 - $8,920,750; priority three - $6,301,251; and priority four $820,337. Some of the school's educational needs are: toilet upgrades, LCD projectors in each classroom, cafeteria expansion, and playground upgrades. North Laurel Elementary School, the district's second newest building, was constructed in 1955. The renovation costs are: priority 1 $6,844,456; priority 2 - $7,817,913; priority 3 $9,457,524; and priority four - $119,059. The school's needs include: LCD projectors, canopy connecting wings, additional parking, classroom additions, and a new gym, cafeteria, and administrative offices. Laurel Intermediate/Middle School was constructed in 1921. The projected renovation costs are: priority 1 - $1,495,134; priority 2 $18,334,874; priority 3 - $24,928,925; and priority 4 - $1,121,789. The building’s needs include: additional receptacles, security system, cafeteria sound system, and additional drive way and parking area. Laurel High School, the district's newest school, was built in 1972. The renovation costs are: priority 1 - $3,664,435; priority 2 $15,737,683; priority 3 - $23,596,164; and priority 4 - $2,315,504. The school's educational needs include: converting the choral room to classrooms, turning the small auditorium into two computer labs, library security system, new auditorium (12,000 seat auditorium with 4,000 square foot stage), science classroom upgrades, and nurse's suite reconfiguration. The district faces the following options: recheck assigned priorities and do only the high priority items (1 and 2) in each school; renovate all the schools; replace one or more schools and renovate the rest; or replace all the schools. Studio JAED estimates the following renovation (all four priorities) and replacement costs for each school: P.L. Dunbar- renovation cost $19,770,949, replacement cost $12,018,650; North Laurel- renovation cost $24,238,951; replacement cost $17,093,830; Laurel Intermediate/Middle School- renovation cost $45,880,722; replacement cost $24,249,250; Laurel Senior High School- renovation cost $45,313,786; replacement cost $33,472,090. Another option is to construct a combined elementary school for grades K-5 at a projected cost of $28,520,000. "Just looking at priorities one and two will not be enough,” said Laurel School District Director of Finance Bill Hitch, who pointed out that the priority three items will need to be addressed by the time the priority one and two items are fixed. If Laurel’s referendum is successful, the district will join other school districts waiting for bond money from the state. Funding that used

to come in one or two years is now being spread out over three to five years. Following a successful referendum, Laurel would receive planning money for two schools after July 2008. In July 2009 the district would receive planning money for the rest of the schools and construction money for the first two. Construction/renovation money would come in for the final two schools after July 2010. Once construction/renovation begins at a school it will take about two years to complete the school (three years if the school is occupied during renovations). Schenck asked the representatives from Studio JAED about building/renovating schools to address future growth. According to Moretti, DOE only allows construction and renovations based on current enrollment. "Unless you have developments on the way, being on the books isn't enough,” Moretti said. One audience member questioned why the district is going to referendum before it receives money from the state. "I have no doubt whatsoever that DOE will approve the certificates of necessity for a referendum in April,” said Moretti. "A certificate of necessity and a passed referendum puts you in line." Another resident asked how much this project will cost taxpayers. Moretti said it depends on how fast the assessed value is growing and the district's existing debt. He pointed out that in a capital referendum, districts ask for permission from taxpayers to sell a certain amount worth of bounds to be paid at the going rate. Hitch estimated that a $95 million referendum would cost taxpayers about $17 per month extra. "That's going out for pizza one night in a month. Seventeen dollars a month to help educate your children and give them facilities to work in is not a tremendous amount of money,” Hitch added. If the certificate of necessity is approved

and the referendum passes, the state will pay 74 percent of the project's cost with the district paying for 26 percent of the cost. One resident asked if the projected replacement costs include the cost of demolishing the old building. According to Studio JAED representatives, inflation and demolition costs would have to be added if the district chooses to build a new school. Studio JAED engineer Jim Hutchison said the board and the public will need to decide whether to renovate or replace a school during a future meeting. Once the district decides what direction it wants to take with each school, the costs can be figured out. The district’s last referendum took place in 1991 when a successful referendum brought seven new classrooms to North Laurel and seven classrooms at P.L. Dunbar as well as renovations/cosmetics. One resident asked whether the schools will break down again in 10 years if the district chooses to do renovations rather than replacing them. "You're probably reaching a point where there won't even be spare parts for some of the things you have in your schools,” said Moretti, who pointed out that the district’s youngest school is 35 years old. Laurel resident Melinda Tingle suggested opening the buildings up to the public so citizens can see the condition of the schools (while the students are there). “This community needs to see our schools when children are trying to be educated,” Schenck added. The school board decided to move ahead with additional workshop meetings but left the door open for future tours of the facilities (during school hours). In addition to the Nov. 28 meeting, an additional workshop will be held on Dec. 3 at 7 p.m. at the Laurel Intermediate/Middle School.

that he still “get[s] the jitters before a speech but it is a pleasure to be with you,” he launched into a heartfelt emotional message that quickly got his audience’s attention. “World War I marked the end of war to end all wars, but it did not happen that way,” Covington said. “Everybody should know what we believe and for what we stand, and we should be able to assemble in openness.” Talking about veterans, Covington said, “Many of us carry battle scars and many have not come home. Please remember those emotionally and mentally still fighting the war, remember the friends, family and orphans of those soldiers… Embrace them in love. But for the grace of God it could have been us. Those things were not in vain.” Covington then read a message that minister Joe Wright read before the opening of the Kansas state Senate a few years ago. That message produced reaction worldwide and caused some of the Kansas senators to walk out, but of more than 5,000 calls Wright received following his mes-

sage, only 47 were against his speech. (See text of the speech, below.) Covington said that Wright’s message addressed the many evils that society is battling today. “Today we are ashamed of our prayers and often will not say God in our conversation, lest we offend,” he said. “What about the ideals our soldiers have fought for? The only thing they had was a prayer and the only thing they died with was a prayer. Let not our birthright be denied by do-gooders.” Covington received a long standing ovation for his message. “Let no one say the Rev. Covington does not say what he believes,” post adjutant Jim Moore said. Twelve members of the post received “Serving God and Country” awards during the service: Ernest Adkins, Jim Allen, Henry Bohm, Fred Dykes, Charlie Haddock, Rudolph Hastings, Johnny Janosik, Ray Lynch, Jim Ward, Herman Cubbage, Ray Foskey and Joe Stoakley. The service concluded with Jones singing “God Bless America.”

Wright’s prayer before the Kansas Senate When the Rev. Joe Wright addressed the Kansas state Senate, he offered the following prayer: “Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know your word says, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil” but that is exactly what we have done. “We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. “We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. “We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. “We have killed our unborn and called it choice. “We have shot abortionists and called

it justifiable. “We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem. “We have abused power and called it politics. “We have coveted our neighbor’s possessions and called it ambition. “We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of speech and expression. “We have ridiculed the time-honored values of out forefathers and called it enlightenment. “Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts today. Cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Amen!”

Business Stephen R. Huston attends appraisal regulatory conference

Discover Bank launches Bank at School program for fourth graders

Stephen R. Huston recently attended the 16th annual Fall Conference of the Association of Appraisal Regulatory Officials held in Washington, D.C., Sept. 29 through Oct. 2. Huston represented the Delaware Huston Council of Real Estate Appraisers at the conference. General meeting sessions included federal and legislative updates from David Bunton, president of the Appraisal Foundation and Ben Henson, executive director of the Appraisal Subcommittee. A 2008 USPAP update was also presented by Greg Accetta, chairman of the Appraisal Standards Board for The Appraisal Foundation. Other topics addressed at the conference included meeting sessions on the topics of supervising and mentoring programs, appraisal regulation, investigation and enforcement. The Association of Appraisal Regulatory Officials is a professional organization which serves to improve the administration and enforcement of real estate appraisal laws in member jurisdictions. The conference was attended by 127 members from across the nation.

In September, Discover Bank and LuLu Ross Elementary School in Milford launched the Bank at School program for 4th grade students. Bank at School is a state-wide program supported by the Delaware Financial Literacy Institute, the University of Delaware’s Center for Economic Education and Entrepreneurship, the State Treasurer, Jack Markell, and the Delaware Bankers Association. This program is made possible through a business-education partnership formed between the school and the bank in an effort to teach the value of savings to fourth grade students. Teachers are provided with appropriate lesson plans aligned with Delaware State Standards in Economics. Participation is voluntary and students may make weekly deposits to Discover Bank via employees at the school during class hours. There is no minimum deposit amount and students will be responsible for maintaining receipts, deposit slips, and a savings register. The savings accounts may also be accessed by the student at the bank’s Greenwood branch during regular business hours. “Discover Bank is pleased to be working with LuLu Ross Elementary to promote financial literacy in children. We feel that saving money at a young age will engender financial responsibility that will be

Wawa farmers remove hormone Wawa, Inc. announced that the company will only produce milk that is free of artificial growth hormones (rBST); this artificial bovine growth hormone will be eliminated from all milk that Wawa processes and sells at its 570 stores in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. To ensure that all products processed and packaged by Wawa and under the Wawa label are free of artificial growth hormone, Wawa will now only purchase raw milk from farmers who will pledge, and sign legal affidavits, that they will not use artificial growth hormones in their cows. Customers will be able to see this “Farmers Pledge” through a seal on the label of all Wawa dairy products. Wawa is offering this choice to customers who, in recent years, have shown increasing interest in natural products and a greater commitment to overall health and wellness.

All cows naturally produce Bovine somatotropin (bST), including those raised according to “organic” standards. Its biological function is to direct energy derived from a cow’s food to meet certain physical needs. An artificial version of this hormone was developed and called rBST – and some farmers inject it into cows to increase their milk production. While the FDA has concluded that no significant difference has been shown between milk derived from rbST-treated cows and non-rbST-treated cows, some consumer groups are requesting a change.

Task force studies foreclosures Lt. Governor John Carney has announced the formation of the Foreclosure Task Force to look at the growing problem of mortgage foreclosures in Delaware.

unprecedented proportions over the next two years. “The current problem and the impending crisis have been well documented,” the Lt. Governor said. “We know what we’re going to face and we need to get to work on developing ways to help those people who are facing a very difficult situation.” The Office of the Lt. Governor and the Office of the State Bank Commissioner have identified $50,000 in funding through the Department of State to continue outreach and education efforts by the Office of the State Bank Commissioner.

Aviation program bid Sussex County Council has followed through on its pledge to support a new airframe mechanics program, awarding a contract to renovate a hangar at the Sussex County Airport to serve as classroom and laboratory space. County Council, at its Tuesday, Oct. 23, meeting, voted 4-0 to award Richard Y. Johnson & Son Inc. of Ellendale the $720,318 contract to renovate a 9,750-square-foot hangar. The building will be converted into classroom and practical laboratory space for a training program to begin in 2008 through Delaware Technical & Community College. Work on the building, which will feature two classrooms, four laboratories and a resource library, will begin in the next few weeks and take approximately six months to complete. Sussex County Council, DelTech and PATS Aircraft LLC in October 2006 announced a partnership to create an airframe mechanics associate’s degree pro-

gram as part of the curriculum offered at the college. The program will train students to become airframe mechanics, who service all parts of an airplane, with the exception of the engine, propeller and instruments. No such program exists in Delaware today. As its contribution, Sussex County government agreed to provide classroom space at the airport for the new program. This past spring, Sussex County took ownership of the hangar, and

pledged to cover the cost of renovating the space. While the cost to perform the renovations were one third higher than originally anticipated, County officials said the dollars to be spent are an investment in Sussex County’s economic future. Students who train in the program will be in high demand from Sussex County-based employers such as PATS, an auxiliary fuel tank installer that has more than 175 jobs open and waiting to be filled.

PAGE 9 “The partnership between DelTech and the Sussex County Council will help to provide greater opportunities for Sussex County residents,” said County Administrator David B. Baker. “Trained airframe mechanics can earn salaries ranging from $30,000 to $60,000 a year. The County Council’s goal is to provide better employment opportunities, so hard-working people here in Sussex County can fill those jobs and take home those wages.”

Girls Night Out in Historic Downtown

The stores along historic High Street in downtown Seaford will celebrate the opening of the holiday season Thursday, Nov. 15, with the second annual Girls’ Night Out. The event will be held from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. All shops and several other businesses on High Street will be open for Christmas shopping. In addition, retailers with businesses outside of the downtown area will have booths set up and artists from Nanticoke River Arts, an area art league, will have their works on sale. Ducks Unlimited will also have several art pieces that will be auctioned off. The Seaford Police Department will provide foot patrol during the evening. For further information, contact Sonja Mehaffey at 2 Cats Herbary, Bath & Body, 628-1601.

Stamping-out on Girls Night Out

The Seaford Historical Society will open the Seaford Museum on High Street on November 15th from 5-8 p.m. for Girl’s Night-out. Pat Davidson, a local stamper and member of the Historical Society, will demonstrate the art of stamping. Several other talented stampers will help to make this a fun experience for all who attend. Cards made by Sue Manlove, another local artist, will be offered for sale. The museum gift shop will be open with books by local authors and other items for sale. All profits from the evening will be used to improve the museum and the Ross Mansion. For information call 628-9828.

Veterans are encouraged to attend meeting For Delaware’s estimated 85,000 veterans, understanding orders during their years of military service was essential to the success of every mission. Understanding the complexities of health care, its cost and accessibility is essential for veterans whose new mission is to enjoy retirement and a high quality of life. Dean Reid, administrator of the Delaware Veterans Home in Milford, will be the guest speaker at the November meeting of the Sussex County Advisory Committee for the Aging & Adults with Physical Disabilities. The meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m. Monday, Nov. 19, at the Sussex County Administrative Offices West Complex on North DuPont Highway in Georgetown. Veterans living in Sussex County and their families are encouraged to attend the meeting. Reid will discuss eligibility requirements, cost of care and other issues for veterans interested in living at the Delaware Veterans Home. The 150-bed facility opened in June 2007, and can accommodate veterans’ varied needs, including intermediate and skilled nursing care, comprehensive rehabilitation services, as well as specialized dementia care. The Sussex County Advisory Committee for the Aging & Adults with Physical Disabilities is an 11-member panel established by the Sussex County Council to be an advocate for programs and policies that benefit older and disabled residents. The committee meets on the third Monday of January, March, May, July, September and November. All meetings are open to the public. The Advisory Committee’s mission is to increase dialogue, make recommendations to Sussex County Council, and to give support, assistance and advice on significant issues and programs that may affect the lives of the county’s aging and adults with physical disabilities populations.

Adopting families this holiday season The holidays are a happy time filled with warmth and love; a time of celebration; and a time filled with generosity and hope. The holidays are also a time when individuals reach out and help a family in need. Through Adopt-a-Family, anonymous sponsors volunteer to “adopt” an individual or family for the holiday season. Last year, 525 families were referred to Kent and Sussex counties. Through this program, the sponsor purchases gift certificates for a sponsored family. In turn, the family uses these certificates to purchase items that best meet their family’s needs.

Cardiac rehabilitation program is recertified The cardiac rehabilitation program at Nanticoke Memorial Hospital has received recertification by the American Heart Association (AHA) and the American Association of Cardiovascular & Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR). The national recertification is through Aug. 31, 2010. Nanticoke Memorial Hospital's cardiac rehabilitation is one of only three programs in the state to receive national certification. Residents of western Sussex County have benefited from the cardiac rehabilitation program at Nanticoke for 20 years. Nanticoke's cardiac rehabilitation comprehensive program emphasizes secondary prevention through risk factor reduction which is facilitated by individualize patient education and small group exercise training. The team of registered nurses is supplemented by access to a consulting staff that includes a dietitian, diabetic educator, and a pharmacist. Dr. Richard Simons serves as the program's Medical Director.

The American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACFPR) is an organization dedicated to the improvement of clinical practice, promotion of scientific inquiry, and the advancement of education for the benefit of health care professionals and the public in the fields of cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation. During the certification process, a national board conducts reviews and determines whether essential requirements for standards of care are met. Most people affected by coronary heart disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease would benefit from cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation, according to AACVPR. Cardiac rehabilitation improves health and quality of life, reduces risk of recurrence, reduces the use of health care resources, and teaches participants how to achieve an optimal level of independence within the community. To learn more, call 6296611, ext. 2428.

Veteran’s Day

VETERANS HONORED IN LAUREL... The American Legion Post 19, Laurel, held its annual Veteran’s Day service Sunday, Nov. 11. Several veterans received the post’s God and Country Award. Front, from left: post commander Carlton Pepper, Jim Ward, Rudolph Hastings, Fred Dykes, Henry Lee Bohm and Ernest Adkins. Back: Johnny Janosik, Jim Allen, Charlie Haddock and Ray Lynch.

...AND IN DELMAR - Each year, the Ladies Auxiliary to VFW Post 8276 holds a program to thank veterans for their service on the Saturday closest to Veterans Day. This year, auxiliary president Brenda Foskey opened the event, followed by an invocation by post chaplain Kenny Ralph. Madison Hill, granddaughter of post commander Percy Elliott, led the Pledge of Allegiance. A memorial service followed dinner. All veterans at the ceremony were presented with certificates of appreciation. The benediction was given by auxiliary chaplain Phyllis Crouch. Above left are Sgt.

Pennsylvania developer purchased land slated for Discovery Continued from page one

believes the town was correct in its actions to annex. “During the annexation process, which was widely publicized, I never had one of the property owners whose land was to be annexed come before me or the council saying they did not want to be annexed into town,” he said. The court is expected to give a ruling sometime in January. Both sides believe they will win. If the court rules against the town, it is possible that the town could begin the process over again, according to the interpretation of the court. Horsey claims that money to develop the project was available from banking institutions until the suit was filed. “Then the money went away,” he said. Property owner Glenn Jones said that the Discovery group did not pick up the option on his 381 acres. He claims he and Horsey tried to reach an agreement for an extension but could not. Jones then listed the property with Laurel Realty. Michael Pouls of Samanda Properties LLC, Gladwyn, Pa., then signed a contract to purchase the property. He plans to go to settlement this month. Pouls said that he had told Laurel Realty he was interested in land near Laurel, and when Jones listed his property, the realty company called. Pouls said he liked what he saw and purchased the land. Pouls is not a newcomer to land purchase in this area. He purchased 75 acres two years ago on land situated between Holly Brook Apartments and the former Discountland building; that land has since been annexed by the town. Pouls plans to build an active adult community of 361 townhouses, houses and duplexes on the land, hopefully breaking ground next spring depending on the health of the housing market. The project is called Village Brooke West. Pouls is also in negotiations with the town to annex 76 acres along Discount Land Road, east of US 13 in Laurel, for another 250 units, all duplexes. That project would be called Village Brooke East. When asked about his plans for the Jones property, Pouls said he attempted to strike a deal with Discovery. Horsey stated during the interview that he was not interested in what Pouls was offering. Pouls said that he will go to the town council and ask for recommendations for use of the property.

Disappointment and elation

The decision to scale back the Discovery Project has met with mixed reactions. Mayor Shwed said he was disappointed in the decision. “I thought it was an interesting project,” Shwed said. He declined to comment further until he heard from Horsey regarding his plans for the property. Earlier during the planning process, Shwed said he supported the development because it would help Laurel's economy. The Laurel area has one of the lowest household incomes in Delaware, almost $20,000 below the statewide average. W.D. (Bill) Whaley, an outspoken critic of the project and an organizer and spokesman for SCOLDM, issued the following statement: “The sun shines a little brighter in Sussex County today. The news of the demise of the Discovery Project is wonderful news and we hope we can put this hideous blight on our town and our county to rest in the deep grave it deserves. “The entire community owes a great debt of gratitude to the Brohawn and Culver families and the 130 or so courageous supporters who sacrificed so much to fight for their families and properties. We congratulate them and thank them for the new friendships that were spawned by the terrible circumstances they faced. They were treated like mosquitoes, but turned out to be eagles.” Rick Culver, SCOLDM president, had this comment regarding the news of the Horsey decision: “I too would like to thank the members of the community that supported, and continue to support, SCOLDM and what our group stands for. Our community came together for a common cause — to preserve and protect the peaceful way of life we have become accustomed to from unchecked and fiscally irresponsible over development. “The fight was and continues to be a community effort. The only way to keep overdevelopment from encroaching upon our neighborhood and destroying the way of life we have come to expect and enjoy is continued vigilance. Those in the government must be held responsible and accountable for the decisions they make that affect our lives and livelihood. I want to encourage everyone in the community to attend town meetings, to ask questions, and to research the issues.

“Above all else, I encourage everyone to stand up and let their voices be heard.”

Stores, housing still planned

The development was to be a destination for youth sporting events, complete with the two stadiums. Bobby Horsey, who served as project manager, said the loss of the large parcel eliminated all sport complexes, stadiums for sports and entertainment, non-profit centers, the fire house, 1.3 million square feet of retail space, hotels and the equestrian center. He said the Discovery Group has over $2.1 million invested in the project and had investors lined up to join in the project once the lawsuit was settled. Accommodation taxes from the hotels would have brought in thousands of dollars to the Laurel Chamber of Commerce. While many of the protesters at the town’s public hearings claimed the sports complexes would not make a go, others disagreed. Pete Townsend, director of Sports at the Beach, a Georgetown facility that offers dormitories and fields for baseball and softball tournaments, drawing from all over the east coast, said there is plenty of demand for tournament hosting in the area. Earlier this spring, Townsend was looking for extra fields in nearby communities because he did not have enough room to satisfy the demand of teams wanting to play. In an article that appeared in the News Journal in November 2006, Fred DeMicco, professor at the Hotel,

Restaurant and Institutional Management Department at the University of Delaware, said there is a growing demand for sports tournament-centered developments. The town government of Laurel will also be a big loser; revenue from property taxes, sewer/water and impact fees would have totaled in the millions of dollars. In addition, Discovery had agreed to foot the bill for the entire infrastructure for the project, including the cost of installing sewer and water pipes, pumping station, and contributing to the upgrade of the town's sewer plant. The project was billed as an economic boom to the little community, with 7,000 to 8,000 jobs being created after the 10year buildout and $30 million to $40 million dollars being invested in the project. David Horsey said that he feels sorry for the town of Laurel. “For once the town has a mayor and council that want growth and now this happens,” he said. The developers have gone back to the drawing board and have developed plan B for use of their land, about 120 acres. They hope to purchase additional land adjoining the property that has already been annexed into town. They plan to build a 200,000-square foot strip shopping center and moderatelyto medium-priced residential housing. David Horsey said that the investors are still lined up, and they will begin work on the revised development as soon as the lawsuit is settled.

MORNING STAR • NOVEMBER 15 - 21, 2007

Elmer Hearn relieved those who were ‘burned out’ The Seaford and Laurel Star newspapers are running a series of articles on the veterans who served this nation during World War II. We welcome suggestions for interviews. Contact Bryant Richardson at 629-9788.

By James Diehl Elmer Hearn never signed up for the armed forces and he wasn’t involved in the actual fighting during World War II. But, when Uncle Sam called on Aug. 17, 1945, the Laurel native was happy to “do his part.” “Back in those days, when we were called, we went, we did what was expected of us and then we came home and continued to make a living as best we could,” said Hearn, who has owned Hearn Insurance Co. in Seaford since 1962. “There’s no question I did what I had to do.” When Hearn received his draft papers, he was certain he would be serving his country overseas. What wasn’t certain was what his job would be, or even what branch of the service he would serve in. “Back then, our jobs were chosen for us, as well as the branch of service we’d be serving in,” Hearn remembers. “When we went through our physical and finally wound up at the end of the line, the person there would ask you if you wanted to go in the Navy, the Army or the Marines. “I listened to these guys and they would answer Navy and [get told] they were going in the Army, and so on. I decided that when I got to the front of the line, I would just say ‘You’re going to select anyhow, so just do it.’ And that’s what I did.” After being chosen for the United States Army, Hearn spent a tumultuous few weeks at Fort Dix, N.J., where he spent two weeks

Laurel native Elmer Hearn was drafted in the summer of 1945 and served in the United States Army through 1947. He was stationed in Rheims, France, the city which served as the backdrop for the German surrender on May 7, 1945.

in quarantine, with four other soldiers, after a bunk mate contracted meningitis. Finally released from Fort Dix, Hearn completed his basic training at Camp Croft in South Carolina before spending nearly a month traveling. He eventually arrived at his home away from home in Rheims, France. By the time Hearn arrived in western Eu-

rope, most of the world had heard of Rheims, at that time a war ravished city about 89 miles east-northeast of Paris. It was the city where, on the morning of May 7, 1945, U.S. General Dwight D. Eisenhower and the Allies received the unconditional surrender of the Wehrmacht, or the unified armed forces of Germany. The document marking the official end of the war in Europe was ratified in Berlin the following day on May 8, or V-E Day. The surrender was signed at the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF), commonly referred to in the media as a “little red schoolhouse” in Rheims. Hearn remembers to this day the first time he laid eyes on the structure. “Going over, I was under the impression that this was going to be a little, red country school,” Hearn recalls. “This was no little red schoolhouse. It was literally as big as the old Seaford High School, but I guess [using the term ‘little red schoolhouse’] sounded good in the newspaper. “Perhaps other people may not have envisioned it to be a one-room school as I did, but that’s what I was expecting to find,” Hearn continued. “I was in the room where the armistice was signed, but I didn’t really find it humbling at all. It was more humbling to me to see the cemeteries where all our boys are buried.” Trained in the handling of explosives, Hearn instead spent his time in western Europe working in the motor pool. Drawing on his farming experience in western Sussex County, he was quite good at it and quickly drew the attention of the powers that be. “When I first got over there, they were lucky if they could get one vehicle started. If

they did, they would use that one to pull the rest of them,” Hearn said. “My first job was getting all those vehicles going. I made staff sergeant while I was there because they saw that, while I may not know the job by the book, I could always find out what was wrong and fix it.” Hearn and many traveling oversees in the first days after the war ended knew one of their main jobs was to relieve war-weary troops, some of which had been fighting for the better part of five years. To this day, when he hears someone saying they are just “burned out” with their life, he winces. “People today don’t really know what burned out means, but I’ve seen it first hand,” Hearn said. “Some of the guys over there would just sit down and stay there, even if a general entered the room. They were so burned out that they just didn’t care. One of our main jobs was to relieve them [so they could go home].” Hearn says it would be awful difficult to find a World War II veteran these days who considers himself a hero. There was a general consensus during the 1940s that everyone had a job to do, and they would simply do those jobs to the best of their abilities. “There were very few heroes in those days. Back then, if you were [recognized as] a hero, there was no doubt that you were a hero,” Hearn said. “I don’t think there’s a single man who was in World War II who considers himself a hero today. “We simply had a job to do, and we did the job the best that we could. Then we came home and we made a life.”

MORNING STAR • NOVEMBER 15 - 21, 2007

Three challengers, incumbent battling for commission seat By Lynn R. Parks Four people are running for two seats on the Delmar (Md.) Town Commission. One of those who are running is incumbent Luther Hitchens, who has already served two four-year terms on the commission. Hitchens “is a big asset,” said Mayor Doug Niblett, who is running unopposed for another term. “He is my deputy mayor and I would hate to see him lose his seat.” Delmar native Hitchens, 60, said that he loves the town in which he has always lived. “I was born here, right on Maryland Avenue,” he said. “I just like giving back to the town that has given me so much. I believe in the people here and I like giving back to the people.” Hitchens said that there are several projects in the works that he would like to see through. Among those projects are housing developments, including the development that will soon be going up around the golf course on the south edge of town. “There is a lot of development going on,” he said. “I think the town is going in the right direction, but at the same time we want to keep our old-town charm.” Hitchens graduated from Delmar High School in 1965 and served in the U.S. Army, going to Vietnam. Before retiring two years ago, he owned Hitchens Commercial Laundry Sales and Service, which primarily serviced industrial laundry equipment. He and his wife, Donna, have four adult children and seven grandchildren. Reginald Lizotte, 51, is one of three newcomers running for a seat. A resident of Delmar for more than 22 years, he served on the Delmar (Del.) Town Council 17 years ago. “I just feel like getting back into politics,” said Lizotte. “I like the community and I would serve [on the commission] for the people.” Lizotte is owner of Lizotte Construction, through which he is installing fiber optic cables for Verizon. He and his wife, Linda, have three adult children and seven grandchildren. The other two challengers, Chris Pittas and Marlena Hodgins, are running as a team. “We have decided that it is time for a change,” Hodgins said. “Delmar is growing by leaps and bounds and it is time to do some different things.” “We would like to see some new blood on the council,” Pittas added. “I hope that the people of Delmar will help those who are trying to make a change get in. New blood on the commission would bring knowledge and a lot of good things to Delmar.” Both Hodgins and Pittas would like to see the officers with the Delmar Police Department be allowed to engage in collective bargaining. “I want the department

For your information: Voting in the Delmar, Md., town election will take place Tuesday, Nov. 20, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. in Delmar Town Hall. Citizens have to have been registered to vote with the town or with the county by Tuesday, Nov. 13. For information, call town hall, (410) 896-3368. to be competitive with its wages,” Pittas said. Hodgins said that the town needs to provide recreation for its youth. “We need to find something for them to do so they are not driving around using drugs,” she said. She likes the idea of a skateboard park. She would also like to see the town institute impact fees on new developments. “With that additional income, we could do a lot for the town,” including fixing its roads, she said. Both Pittas and Hodgins agree that growth in Delmar is a good thing. “With the growth that is going on and the revenue it brings, Delmar has the capability of being what you might call a perfect town,” Pittas said. But Hodgins would like to see the growth slowed down a little. “I think growth is good,” she said. “But growth on the entire Eastern Shore is happening a little too rapidly. I would like to see it move a little slower, so our services can catch up. Our schools and our hospitals just can’t accommodate all the people coming in.” Hodgins retired from Nanticoke Memorial Hospital in 2000 as patient advocate and director of volunteer services. A widow, she has lived in Delmar for 25 years. She has three adult children, three grandchildren and two step-grandchildren. She also has a “daughter by choice,” a woman who chooses to consider her as a mother, she said, and three “grandchildren by choice,” and has hosted four exchange students in her home, three from Brazil and one from Hungary. Pittas, 49, retired in August as public service officer with the Salisbury Police Department. He is a five-year resident of Delmar. He and his wife, Joanna, have two adult children and a 17-year-old son, Justin Powell, who is a student at Delmar High School.

supporter of Laurel, to finish up. I’ll try to catch what he said: “As we get older one thing that comes back is those early friendships. Some of the best friends I ever had are in this room. Over the years I have watched many of you, as you started out as young men, and” — hesitation here — “we could beat any of you. This is great, don’t ever lose it. I am honored to be here.” Butch came up from Florida, Ken Brown from Roanoke, Don Powell from Virginia and others traveled, too. You see, their early friendships are still important! The Food Lion in Laurel has a new manager. His name is Rusty Turner and he is from Denton. Rusty got married this past summer on the beach complete with Irish singers and all. I think I am going to like this young man. He said he is also anxious to make changes in the store and wants it to become more of a part of the community. John Downes of The Insurance Market Financial Center in Laurel has had another prestigious designation attached to his title that did not come without a lot of hard work. Less than one percent of the financial people have this designation. Congratulations, John! The weatherman did not co-operate with the Delmar Heritage Day Celebration on Saturday. It really felt like fall, actually winter to me. The “76” Caboose that is on

a side rail in town was looking spiffy with a new coat of paint. Wayne Mitchell was inside giving history lessons on the caboose for all who would listen. Actually it got its name from the French word “kabius,” or little room. The railroad has meant a lot to Delmar and this one of 3,0000 Pennsylvania Railroad models fits in Delmar perfectly. They received it during the 1976 bicentennial, thus the name “76.” Wayne was very interesting to listen to and even told us about the “straight to the tracks toilet.” Much of Delmar has to do with the railroad as I guess it was a busy spur. The famous baseball team, the Railroaders, were named after it, as was the Railroad Café with that famous engineer, brakeman, conductor and, oh yes, cook, Linda Wells. Delmar you have a great idea — stick with it. What a great message was given by Pastor Charles Covington at the Post 19 Service on Sunday. As state Sen. Bob Venables stated in our conversation, “We all could stand to hear more of this.” Beware, all you four-legged friends. Hunting season is upon us and it’s time for all those “sure shots” to return. Now, Al Temple, keep talking about me and my Phillies and I’m going to put an X on your back for some of those “sure shots.” Enjoy the moments, folks. There’s plenty of humor out there!

A PRAYER FOR SNUGGLES Almighty GOD, I was fortunate to receive the gift of “SNUGGLES” from you. Now that he has left this life, please help me to cope with my loss, strength and courage. I know that my beloved companion no longer suffers, and will live on in many fond memories. May they be treated with the care and respect as he has enriched my life. I wish someone had given Jesus a dog as loyal and loving as mine. To sleep by His manger and gaze in His eyes, and adore Him for being divine. Well the Lord has a dog now, I just sent Him mine. The old pal so dear to me . And I smile through my tears on this first day alone, knowing they’re in eternity. Day after day, the whole day through. Four feet said; “Wait I’m, coming with you” and trotted along behind. I Love You With All My Heart; Just Me........

“The Broken Chain” We little knew that day, God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you. You did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, your love is still our guide. And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Police Journal Woman bites state trooper

The Delaware State Police charged a 26-year-old Greenwood woman with assault on a police officer and other related charges after she allegedly resisted arrest during a domestic incident and bit a trooper's finger. On Nov. 11, at approximately 1 p.m. a state trooper was dispatched to the 9000 block of Shawnee Road in Greenwood to investigate a reported domestic dispute involving Lisa Munoz, 26, of Greenwood. Upon arrival, troopers met with the home owner who advised he wanted Munoz’s boyfriend, to leave the residence. He advised that the residence belonged to him and the boyfriend was not welcomed there. When the trooper advised the boyfriend to leave the residence Munoz became disorderly. Munoz started to curse in the presence of her 2-year-old child. When the trooper advised Munoz that she was under arrest for disorderly conduct, Munoz resisted arrest by pulling away. Munoz allegedly picked her child up so the trooper could not arrest her. At this time, the boyfriend removed the child from Munoz’s arms. When the trooper attempted to take Munoz into custody a second time, she resisted again and an altercation ensued. During the altercation Munoz got the trooper’s right thumb and placed it into her mouth and bit down until the skin was broken. The trooper was able to break free of Munoz and took her into custody with the assistance of another trooper who arrived at the scene. The trooper, a twenty year veteran of the force, was treated at Nanticoke Memorial Hospital and released. During the investigation, troopers charged Munoz with assault on a police officer, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and endangering the welfare of a child. Munoz was arraigned at the Justice of the Peace Court 3 in Georgetown and committed to the Delores J. Baylor Women’s Correctional Institution on $6,750 secured bond.

Driver hits utility pole

Delaware State Police arrested a 31-year-old Brooklyn, N.Y., man after he allegedly crashed his 2000 Jeep Cherokee into a utility pole. On Nov. 7, at approximately 10:43 p.m., state troopers from Troop 5 in Bridgeville responded to Sussex Highway just south of Seashore Highway to investigate a vehicle crash involving a gray SUV. Upon arrival, troopers located the 2000 Jeep Cherokee allegedly operated by Robert K. Lovelace, 31, of Brooklyn, New York. During their investigation,

troopers learned that Lovelace was traveling southbound on Sussex Hwy., and apparently fell asleep behind the wheel. The Jeep exited the west edge of the road and struck a utility pole. A preliminary state police investigation suggests alcohol was involved. Lovelace was not injured during the crash and it is unknown if he was wearing a seatbelt. During their investigation, troopers learned that Lovelace was wanted by the United States Navy for three felony charges of making a false claim. Troopers later charged Lovelace with driving under the influence of alcohol. He was also charged with being a fugitive from another state. Lovelace was arraigned at the Justice of the Peace Court 3 and later committed to the Sussex Correctional Institution in default of $5,000 cash bail. Lovelace is awaiting extradition by the US Marshall’s office.

Burglary suspect arrested

Delaware State Police criminal investigators assigned to the property crimes unit at Troop 4 arrested a Georgetown man after he allegedly broke into the home of a 76-year-old Rehoboth Beach woman. On Nov. 6, at approximately 9:50 a.m., state troopers from Troop 7 responded to the 20000 block of Delaware Ave., in Sea Air Village MHP to investigate a daytime burglary. Upon arrival, troopers contacted the victim who confronted the suspect in the hallway of her home. According to the victim, the suspect was holding a knife and appeared stunned when she confronted him. The victim states that the suspect began to back away from her and she ran forward and slammed the door shut on the suspect’s right arm as he fled. The victim was not injured during the incident and provided troopers with an accurate description of the suspect. She also told troopers that she had seen the suspect a couple of hours earlier walking in the neighborhood with an unidentified woman. Later that day, troopers contacted a man matching the suspect’s description during a traffic stop on Warrington Rd., near Rehoboth Beach. The man was a passenger in a 1987 Chevrolet Nova that was pulled over for running a stop sign. The man, later identified as Richard Cohen, 19, of the 500 block of Mulberry Lane, Georgetown, gave the troopers a false name. Troopers later realized that Cohen matched the physical description of the suspected burglar. He was also wearing a jacket that was identical to the clothing description given to police during

Georgetown and committed to the Sussex Correctional Institution on $28,500 secured bond.

Officer faces charges

SPLASHDOWN - Sometime late Saturday night a black Kia SUV drove off Old Furnace Road at a high rate of speed and landed in the middle of the Nanticoke River. The road was closed Sunday morning while Seaford VFD volunteers and the State Police had the car pulled out. Photos by John King

the initial burglary investigation. During the investigation, Cohen was picked out of a photo line up by the victim. As a result of the investigation, Cohen was charged with second degree burglary and criminal impersonation. Cohen was arraigned at the Justice of the Peace Court 2 and pled guilty to one count of criminal impersonation. He received a $1,000 fine for that charge. Cohen was later committed to the Sussex Correctional Institution on $5,000 cash bail for the second degree burglary charge.

Man threatens officers

The Delaware State Police charged a 51-year-old Laurel man with assault on a police officer and numerous weapons related offenses after he allegedly resisted arrest during an incident at his home. On Nov. 10, at approximately 7:47 p.m. a state trooper and two Laurel police officers were dispatched to the 10000 block of Warrington Lane in Laurel to investigate a report of an intoxicated disorderly man armed with a shotgun. During their response, officers were advised that the suspect, later identified as Charles H. Whary, 51, of Laurel allegedly made statements that he wanted to commit “suicide by cop” and fled into his shed with guns. Upon arrival, officers confronted Whary who was sitting on a tractor's front end loader near the shed. Officers observed weapons and ammunition located in the shed approximately twenty

feet away from Whary. The trooper ordered Whary to raise his hands and he refused to comply and rushed at the three police officers knocking them to the ground. Whary was later subdued by the officers. During the altercation, the trooper suffered a sprained right thumb and both Laurel police officers received damage to their uniform pants. The trooper, a two year veteran of the force, was treated and released at Nanticoke Memorial Hospital in Seaford. During the investigation, witnesses at the residence were interviewed. According to their statements, Whary had been drinking and was depressed. Witnesses told police that Whary went inside the residence and retrieved his shotgun and began waving it around and threatening to kill them all and wanted to commit suicide by COP. While at the scene officers seized three black powder rifles, two (22. caliber) rifles, a shotgun, and ammunition. Whary was charged with the following offenses: second degree assault on a police officer, two counts of aggravated menacing, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, resisting arrest, terroristic threatening, two counts of offensive touching, two counts of criminal mischief, failing to comply with the taking of photographs and fingerprints; and fifteen counts of possession of a firearm by a person prohibited. Whary was arraigned at the Justice of the Peace Court 3 in

Delaware State Police have arrested Ismael Torres, Jr., 32, of Georgetown for offensive touching, terroristic threatening, and second degree reckless endangering. Torres is employed by the Delaware River & Bay Authority Police Department in Lewes. He was formally charged after an investigation was completed by the State Police and the Attorney General's office. Investigators were assigned the case on Nov. 7, after three employees of the Complete Auto Recovery Company in Millsboro filed a complaint against Torres. The victims alleged Torres identified himself as a police officer and threatened to shoot them as they attempted to repossess a 2002 Ford Explorer parked on private property near Savannah Road in the town limits of Georgetown. During the investigation, detectives learned that Torres allegedly physically threatened to shoot the members of the recovery service if they did not vacate the property. Investigators also learned that when the Ford Explorer was in the process of being affixed to a wrecker for repossession, Torres allegedly entered the Ford and drove it away from the recovery equipment causing one of the straps to hit a member of the recovery service. As a result of the investigation, Torres was charged with the following: one count of offensive touching, three counts of terroristic threatening, and one count of second degree reckless endangering. Torres was processed and arraigned at Troop 4 and released on $2,050 unsecured bond.

Pornography charges

The Delaware State Police Internet Crimes Against a Child Unit (ICAC), the Delaware State Police High Tech Crimes Unit (HTCU) and the Attorney Generals Office concluded a five week investigation that resulted in the arrest of a 60-year-old Magnolia man on thirty child pornography related charges. On Nov. 1, members of (ICAC) and (HTCU) were assisted by troopers from Troop 3 during the execution of a search warrant at the home of David L. Moore, 60, of the first block of Ponderosa Dr. in Magnolia. During the investigation Moore was charged with fifteen counts of using a computer to unlawfully depict a child engaging in a prohibited sexual act, second offense, and fifteen counts of possession of child pornography. Moore was arraigned and released on $105,000 bond.

I imagine that Rick Rodgers is utes longer. Serve immediately. one of those people. That man knows how to get through a holiday dinner.

Bulldogs win ground game over Jays, 28-7, in final regular season game By Pat Murphy The Laurel Bulldogs used their 382 yards and 74 yards passing to good advantage in a 28-7 victory over the Seaford Blue Jays at Robert Dowd Stadium on Friday, Nov. 9. The Blue Jays had a big night on offense too as they gained 260 yards on the ground. The less than capacity crowd watched in disbelief as both teams ran up and down the field at will in light rain which started in the second quarter. The Blue

Jays, with only two seniors, finished the season with a 1-9 mark while the Bulldogs improved to a final record of 5-5. Laurel senior halfback and linebacker Cody Bristow finished his high school career in a grand way as he gained 196 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries. Bristow also had 14 tackles and a quarterback sack from his linebacker position. Seaford junior My’Keal Purnell had 188 yards rushing on 28 carries for the Blue

The Delmar varsity football team completed its second straight undefeated regular season with a 39-9 win over Woodbridge in the annual season ending contest between the two teams last Friday night. Delmar’s defense held the Raiders to three plays and out in the opening possession of the game. The Wildcats’ offense started with the ball on the Woodbridge 39 with Tevin Jackson scoring on a 37-

yard touchdown run with 9:53 left in the first quarter. Delmar’s Justin Thomas dropped the Raiders’ Jorge Young for a one-yard loss and Woodbridge was forced to punt once again. Jackson had a 34-yard run before Thomas ran it in from 32 yards out to make the score 12-0 with 6:54 left in the opening quarter. The Raiders started their next possession at midfield and moved the ball into

Delmar field hockey tops Milford, falls to Sussex Tech in quarterfinals By Mike McClure The Delmar varsity field hockey team scored a late game goal to defeat Milford, 1-0, in the opening round of the state tournament last Wednesday. The Wildcats netted the first goal of last Saturday’s game quarterfinal game against Sussex Tech, but the Ravens netted a pair of goals for the 2-1 win. On Wednesday, Delmar held a 6-2 advantage in penalty corners but Milford had a 2-0 edge in shots in the first half. Mallory Elliott scored the game’s only game with 4:35 left in the game for the win. The Wildcats held a 10-5 advantage in shots and a 16-5 advantage in corners. Shannon Wilson recorded a pair of saves in Delmar’s victory. “We came out and we came down and we had opportunities. Milford had a very nice game plan today,” Delmar head coach Linda Budd said following the win. “Sometimes it’s hard when you’ve played a team and have beaten them.” Delmar faced another Henlopen South foe on Saturday night in Dover in the state quarterfinals. Alison Bloodsworth scored the first goal of the contest with 9:45 left in the

Delmar Sports Scene By Tommy Young When the over flow crowd began to leave Nunvar Stadium last Friday night and the scoreboard read Delmar 39Woodbridge 9, the fall schedule for all Wildcat sports’ teams had come to an end as the field hockey and soccer teams had completed their regular schedule over a week ago, and the Delmar fans could not have asked for much better results. The field hockey team had gone undefeated, won the Henlopen South title, and was ranked second in the state. The soccer team won 11 games for the first time in several years and was ranked eighth in the state. The football team had just completed its second straight undefeated season giving them their second straight Henlopen South title, and all three teams made the playoffs. And now the bad news, the field hockey and the soccer teams have been eliminated both in hard fought, close games. The boys, playing without one of their top scorers, Denny Murray, because of too many yellow flags in the final game, dropped a 2-1 decision to Dover as Frank Van Gessel, the other half of the scoring duo all year, notched the only goal for Delmar. Meanwhile, the field hockey team won their opener 1-0 over Milford on a goal by Mallory Elliott. But in the quarterfinals, they dropped a 2-1 decision to Sussex Tech as Alison Bloodsworth scored the only goal for the Wildcats. A final thought about this team, I know the players who do the scoring get most of the ink, but this team’s defense was outstanding all year, and while I cannot mention them all, the Delmar goalie, Shannon Wilson, had a great season and was the backbone of this group. Also kudos go to the winningest lady coach in Delmar High School sports, Linda Budd, and her coaching staff for another job well done. Then there is David Hearn, the winningest male coach in Wildcat sports’ history (remember he does baseball too) and his coaching staff who have been with him through the good times and the few bad times. And now, I guess we will have to depend on this group to inspire this good football team through the playoffs and to another State title. It’s a large order, but I know this group can handle it. Because Caravel and Delmar finished first and second in the state as far as state rankings are concerned, they both

received byes in the first round of the playoffs. That is good news for the Wildcats as they have a couple of players dinged up, and this will give them another week to get better. ASSISTS AND ERRORS- Not a word was mentioned in any of the daily papers about the Friday night game, so here is a bird’s eye sketch of what happened. Woodbridge received the opening kickoff and went three and out. Delmar took over on their own 39 and Tevin Jackson took it in from 36-yards out for the first Delmar score. Woodbridge was three and out on the next series, and Delmar took over on their own 33, and Campbell and the same set of backs ran the ball down to the six-yard line where Thomas scored. Woodbridge managed one first down on its next offensive series and Delmar took over on its own 27-yard line. Jackson scampered for 50 yards, and Campbell completed two passes to Kerry King, the last one for a touchdown. The kick was good-19-0, and the first quarter ended. Campbell ran for 70 yards and Jackson scored on the next play. The kick was good-26-0. Delmar kicked to Woodbridge’s 45, and they drove to Delmar’s 25 where they were stopped, and their kicker banged one through for a 35-yard field goal-Delmar 26-Woodbridge 3. Delmar received the ball on its own 26; Thomas ran for 45 yards and Campbell ran it for a touchdown. David Smith kicked his third straight extra point-Delmar 33-Woodbridge 3 at halftime. At the beginning of the third quarter, Coach Hearn left his first team in for one series as he always does, and Campbell ran it in from 33-yards out and finally got a touchdown he could keep. The kick was not good-Delmar 39Woodbridge 3. Then the Delmar reserves took over and did not score but looked pretty good. Woodbridge scored on a long pass to make the final score 39-9 as they tried to run in the extra point, and it failed. The Delmar and Bridgeville Kiwanis trophy dinner to honor senior football players and coaches from both schools was held Monday night at the Delmar VFW. There will be more about that and the soccer team and coaches next week.

Shawn Phillips perseveres in pursuit of pro baseball career By Mike McClure Shawn Phillips has witnessed first hand how professional baseball is as much of a business as it is a game. The 2000 Laurel High graduate played one season in the Texas Rangers’ organization before being released after sustaining an injury. Phillips, who was drafted by the Rangers in 2004, fought his way back following Tommy John surgery and pitched for two different teams in the independent Frontier League before finally getting a chance to sign with a major league organization following a strong season in the Frontier League last summer. The hard work paid off for Phillips, who is currently working at the Laurel Intermediate School. Phillips recently signed a contract with the Florida Marlins and will report to Jupiter, Fla., in March. “I’ve been waiting a long time to get my foot back in the door,” said Phillips, who will turn 25 in December. “I don’t know what else I could do because this summer was one of the best years I’ve ever had.” Phillips posted a 10-4 record with a 2.40 ERA for the Windy City ThundeBolts over the summer. He also struck out 120 batters and walked just 15 in 144.1 innings during the regular season. That effort, and the contacts he made while playing for the 2007 Frontier League champions, earned him another opportunity to play for a Major League organization. Phillps’ summer manager Andy Haines signed as a hitting instructor with the Marlins following a successful season with the ThunderBolts. He mentioned Shawn’s named to a Marlins scout and told Shawn to call him. Following a 15 to 20 minute conversation the scout offered Phillips a contract and invited him to spring training. Phillips thought the offer over for five minutes and called the scout back and accepted it. Phillips’ signing was announced that night at the Laurel varsity football game (against Delmar). Playing in the Frontier League allowed Phillips to show that he had returned to his old form and that he could pitch for an entire season. He also had an opportunity to improve on his fast ball and learn one or two pitches from pitching coach Benden Sargara, a part-time scout with

the New York Mets. “It (Frontier League) was just like professional ball. There were a lot of young guys who were hungry to get back into pro ball and a lot of young guys looking to get into pro ball,” Phillips said. Phillips was drafted by the Rangers in 2004. He went 6-1 with a 3.93 ERA and 53 strikeouts and eight walks in 71 innings for Spokane of the short season Northwest League. But Phillips suffered an arm injury and was let go during spring training the following year. “They told me it was nothing I did wrong. It was an investment and I wasn’t contributing,” said Phillips. Phillips had Tommy John surgery two years ago and is now at 100 percent. The former Delaware State University standout has not seen a jump in the velocity of his pitches, but he has returned to his old form. “When I first got my surgery and they released me I said ‘I’m going to give it another shot’,” Phillips said. He gave himself two years to get back. Shawn pitched in the Frontier League in 2006, pitching just 20 innings. This year he pitched over 100 innings. “The big thing I did this year is I stayed healthy. I didn’t miss a start,” said Phillips. “If it (signing with a pro team) didn’t happen me and my dad would have to see what else is out there. I don’t know if it was time to move on. I guess it was God’s way of putting me in that situation. I just kept on and kept on and I guess it

paid off.” Shawn reports to spring training on March 1. The Marlins’ scout made no promises, but Phillips will be given an opportunity to make a low A or high A team. If Phillips plays for the low A team in Greensboro, N.C. he would get a chance to come home and pitch in Salisbury against the Delmarva Shorebirds. He pitched at the Shorebirds home field when he was in high school, but this would be the first time playing for a professional team on the east coast. “That would be a good thing. That would be my dream to go there and play against them,” Phillips said. “That would be the best thing that I could dream about.” Phillips has received a lot of support from his family and the Laurel community during his career. He also has a number of well wishers at Laurel Intermediate School where he does in school suspension. “Being in a small town everybody knows pretty much everything,” said Phillips. “When they (the school’s staff

and students) heard they were happier than I was. It was overwhelming, all the kids are excited.” In addition to his part-time job in the Laurel School District, Shawn has served as a coach with the Laurel Pop Warner Pee Wee team. He has also volunteered his time to coach boys basketball at Laurel Middle School and varsity baseball at his alma mater. Phillips says working with the area’s youth takes him back to his younger years. He wants the kids he works with to see that they can make something of their lives. “I just like being around kids. I just want to take the younger kids and show them you can make it. I want to put the kids on the right track,” Phillips said. Phillips is glad to get another chance to make play in a major league organization, but he is trying not to get too excited because he knows how the business of baseball works. “This could be my last shot and I don’t want to let it slip by. I want to give it my best in spring training,” said Phillips.

Seaford-Laurel continued Jays. After trading possessions a couple times to start the contest, the Bulldog defense stopped Purnell on consecutive plays midway through the first quarter. Alex Hawes and Tony Rubino stopped Purnell on third down and Rubino and Rashawn Felder stopped the Seaford workhorse on fourth and inches. Laurel’s David Albert made an acrobatic catch of a Lance Kelley pass on the Seaford 25 yard line. Bristow took the ball to the 16 yard line and junior Blake Hare bounced off tacklers to score at the 2:57 mark of the first quarter. Kyle Brown’s kick was good to give the Bulldogs a 7-0 lead. Hare also had a big game for the Bulldogs as he gained 122 yards on 17 carries. He also had six tackles. On Seaford’s last series of the first quarter, the Blue Jays reached the Laurel four yard line before being stopped by a host of Laurel tacklers as the quarter ended. The drive featured runs by Purnell and Vincent Glover, a sophomore running back who was converted to wing back two days before the game. The Bulldogs started their best drive of the game on the next series, starting from their four yard line. Bristow gained six yards, Hare ran for six yards before catching a pass on the 31, and Laurel’s “Mr. Clutch” David Albert caught a pass on the 49 while on the seat of his pants. Moments later Josh Kosiorowski carried the ball to the Seaford six yard line on a reverse and Albert caught another pass in the end zone for the score at the 8:43 mark. Brown’s kick made it 14-0.

Woodbridge pushed the ball into Delmar territory on an eight-yard run by Young and a 36-yard run by Quinones, but Idler missed on a 42-yard field goal attempt. Delmar was forced to punt the ball on its first possession of the second half thanks to a sack by Kane and Jordan Maddox. Delmar’s Billy Cropper dropped Quinones for a two-yard loss and King and Ballard hauled him in after a fouryard gain to help force a punt. Delmar started with the ball on its own 46 and quickly made the score 39-3 following an 11-yard run by Jeremy Layton and a 37-yard touchdown run by Campbell, who faked a pitch and spun his way into the end zone with 4:51 left in the third quarter. Woodbridge came back with a scoring drive at the beginning of the fourth quarter after Perry had a 20-yard run at the end of the third quarter. Perry picked up three yards on fourth and one from Delmar 33 before completing a 27-yard touchdown pass to Quinones, who made a leaping grab in the end zone to make the score 39-9.

Entertainment Possum Point Players present holiday play Possum Point Players’ holiday production, “The WPPP 1954 Christmas Special” will incorporate an old-style radio version of “Miracle on 34th Street” and additional choirs of music. This production will be presented at Possum Hall in Georgetown during the first two-weekends of December. Possums’ Ad Hoc Touring Company held open auditions to cast the roles of the radio version of “Miracle on 34th Street.” The cast includes Christian Auer, Roger Ault, Cat Baker, Claudius Bowden, Art Curley, Haley Dennis, Frank Frey, Jim Hartzell, Rick Jenkins, Beverly LaFazia, Ron Nardi, Don Norton, Paul Norton, Karol Powers-Case, George Spillane, Brode Weaver and Kate Wenner. This cast includes regular Ad Hoc members, as well as new talent to that group. Dick Rosse, a long-standing member of the Ad Hoc group, is directing this portion of the show. The Ad Hoc group tours Delmarva throughout the year, leading audiences to reminisce about all variety of classic radio programs. They have frequently provided a holiday show at Possum Hall, but last year was the first time the Ad Hoc group took a leading part of Possums’ mainstage holiday production. Audiences appreciated the unique presentation, so they were asked to do something similar this year. Beryl Martin will direct the musical

portion of the production. Christian Auer, Claudius Bowden, Alicia Dennis, Maureen Downing, Frank Frey, Jim Hartzell, John Hulse, Colleen and Rick Jenkins, Constance Johnson, Tara Jones, Beverly LaFazia, Susan McMullen, Suzy Messick, Ron Nardi, Peggy Naylor, Karol Powers-Case, Susan Shockley, Marsha Shull, Emilie Sizemore, Tiffany Straza, Kate Wenner and Melissa Willey. Some of the “WPPP Singers” were also cast as characters in “Miracle”. The name of the show “The WPPP 1954 Christmas Special” is to convey the idea of an old radio station - the fictional “WPPP” – putting on one of the Christmas classics of that time period “Miracle on 34th Street,” together with traditional holiday music that one might have heard on the radio or have gone to the radio station and became the “live studio audience.” “The WPPP 1954 Christmas Special” will be performed on Nov. 30, and December 1, 7 and 8, at 8 p.m., and on December 2 and 9 at 2 p.m. at Possum Hall in Georgetown. Tickets are $16, or $15 for Seniors or students. Call the Possum Point Players ticketline at 302-856-4560 to make reservations, request further information, or for directions to the theater. Possum Point Players is supported in part by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Delaware Division of the Arts.

People Sussex Habitat chapter has youth coordinator Seaford resident Alison Willey first heard about Habitat for Humanity when she participated in Collegiate Challenge in the spring of 2006, promoted by the Habitat Campus Chapter at the University of Delaware. She is now working as the Sussex chapter’s youth program coordinator. Willey and 15 students from the University of Delaware spent spring break in Mount Pleasant, S.C., roofing, landscaping and completing other tasks on four houses in different stages of completion. In the fall of 2006, after hearing about the Public Allies Delaware program, Willey spoke with Lisa Smith, Sussex County Habitat for Humanity’s volunteer coordinator, and Kevin Gilmore, the affiliate’s executive director. Public Allies Delaware places young adults, ages 18 to 30, in nonprofit apprenticeships throughout the community for 10-month leadership development programs. The AmeriCorps program combines full-time, paid apprenticeships in nonprofits with skills training, community-building projects personalized coaching and critical reflection. “Our affiliate has grown in both number of families served annually, the number of volunteers it attracts, and the number of homes being built,” Lisa Smith, Willey’s Habitat supervisor, said. “Be-

cause of the generosity of donors and the ever-increasing number of volunteers, we knew we needed someone dedicated to reaching out to an un-tapped resource -the youth in Sussex County. Alison is the perfect fit.” Since mid-September, Willey has been focusing on the recruitment, education and coordination of young volunteers to help meet the needs of the growing organization. She is coordinating the building of a traditional Habitat house at Delmarva

Christian High School in Georgetown. A school advisor and Habitat construction crew members will oversee the project and parents willing to donate their skills, time and ideas will be included. Approximately 40 students will also be involved in the entire build project. Initially, students and parents will be involved in “panelization,” which is building the walls more cost-effectively in a small space — in this case the school parking lot -- and moving and erecting them on a Habitat build site. Construction training for students at the school will begin in December and building will commence for three weeks in late January as part of the students’ community service. Another project, Collegiate Challenge, Habitat International’s alternative spring break, is planned for early March. The Georgetown affiliate will host up to 30 college student volunteers for the weeks of March 2-8 and March 9-15. The students will be housed at a local church. Willey is seeking volunteers to provide lunches while the students are building and is planning educational and social activities for the evenings. For details about Sussex County Habitat Youth Programs, contact Willey, 8551153, or alison@sussexcountyhabitat.org.

along with the jobs for our young people who must go out of town for work. The town government will lose millions in tax revenue, the school will lose thousands of needed dollars. I was disappointed they chose not to comment during the hearings, since they would have greatly been impacted. The superintendent was present at the first meeting with his brief case, but when the hearing got hot and heavy, he slipped out. Remember when Delmar was looked upon as a place not to live? Now with a top rated school system, two shopping centers across from each other, a housing boom and industry coming to the area, Delmar is the place to live. The school can’t keep up with the growth, having several expansions in recent years. The school won’t accept choice school students because of overcrowding. I applaud David and his family for their attempt at development, and I have to applaud those few but outspoken who opposed for their reasons. At least they made their voice heard. I hope people from both sides can come together and support the remainder of the Horsey project, which is to build a 200,000 square feet of retail space and moderate to medium homes. The arguments, “He’ll never fill the stores, or sell the homes, or he’s going to make a lot of money,” shouldn’t come into play. That’s his problem and his nickel, and if he puts his neck on the line he deserves a profit. The land was for sale to anyone who wanted to make an investment. No one else took the gamble. David did.

the town limits. Development always causes problems, but the final outcome is usually positive. I believe the death of this project puts an end to any businesses of great size coming to Laurel. It doesn’t take an Einstein in the business world to know the word will be out: Laurel is not favorable to business. Other towns are standing in line for business. When I was Economic Development director for the county and when I had a client interested in this side of the county, I would invite them to visit the towns along US 13. Right off the bat they would tell me, “Not Laurel, they are anti-business.” That was 15 years ago. Those comments hurt. I thought we had passed that with the current mayor and council members who want growth. What we will become is a retirement community which is not bad if you want peace and quiet. A sign of that to come is what developer Michael Pouls is attempting to do with an estimated 700 homes for active adult communities. Housing will put more demand on Laurel’s sewer plant; more water will be needed than if the same property was devoted to commercial use. But when these older citizens move here, where do they shop, how far will they have to go for medical care, and if they can’t drive how do they get where they want to go? As someone said recently, “You can’t even buy a spool of thread in Laurel.” But since no one sews anymore, I guess that’s not a good enough reason to want business. We’ll continue to shop in Delmar, Salisbury, and Seaford for that spool of thread, money that could go into this community

Health Common birth myths debunked By Anthony Policastro, M.D Now that I am doing more newborn exams, I frequently get asked a question about birthmarks. It seems that some people believe that every newborn has some kind of a birthmark. While a lot of children are born with some type of spot on their skin, most newborns have no such thing. All a birthmark means is a spot present at birth. There is no requirement that every child has some kind of birthmark. There are other ideas that patients have that are not true. One of these is related to umbilical hernias. These occur when the umbilicus (belly button) sticks out on an infant. In most cases this goes away by two years of age. There are many people who think that taping a silver dollar to the umbilicus will help it to go away. Doing such makes it better in about two years. It does not change what will happen. All it does is create skin problems from the tape. Some people still think that children whose feet turn in need to wear braces at night. We did treat turned in feet like that at one time. We found that children who wore the braces had their feet turn straight by 15 -

National Hospice Month Delaware Hospice celebrates its 25th anniversary as President Bush declares November 2007 “National Hospice Month.” In a proclamation issued from the White House yesterday, hospice care professionals and volunteers were recognized for their strength and compassion “in answering a timeless call to love their neighbors as themselves.” This is the 29th consecutive year in which November has been designated as a national month honoring hospice and it is the 25th year that Delaware Hospice has been answering that timeless call. On Oct. 18, 1982, the first patient was admitted to Delaware Hospice. Thus, years of research, planning, community education, and fundraising by nurses, physicians, religious, community leaders and dedicated volunteers launched the first and still the only notfor-profit hospice organization in Delaware. The original goal of the organization was “to offer hospice care to New Castle County.” Twenty five years later, 30,000 patients and families have been served statewide and in adjacent counties of Pennsylvania. Delaware Hospice has proven to be a model of community need being met through community support, which will be demonstrated this 25th year of operation with the opening of the Delaware Hospice Center, funded with the support of the “Community Campaign to Expand Delaware Hospice.”

People get concerned when their children get a chill. They think that it will make them more prone to infection. That is only true if the chill causes a significant decrease in body temperature. 18 months. We then found out that children who did not wear braces had their feet turn out at 15 - 18 months. There was no difference. Some people think that it is a good idea to buy special shoes for babies once they begin to walk. It makes no difference what shoe a baby wears. All they need is something to protect their feet from the elements. Sneakers do that the best. The idea about feeding babies cereal to help them sleep through the night usually works only through coincidence. By the time we feed the cereal and then give the formula, the bedtime is changed. They get to sleep later so they wake up later. However, they usually sleep for the exact same number of hours.

Most newborn males in the United States get circumcised. In most other countries that is not the case. However, some people believe that newborn males have to be circumcised. It is a choice not a necessity. People get concerned when their children get a chill. They think that it will make them more prone to infection. That is only true if the chill causes a significant decrease in body temperature. That is very unlikely to happen from a brief chill. It usually requires a prolonged period of being wet and then chilled. The decreased body temperature interferes with the immune system. It makes us more likely to get sick. Ear infections in children occur in the middle ear. That is the area behind the eardrum. Some people believe that getting fluid in the ear canal causes an ear infection. Fluid in the ear canal cannot get past the eardrum. It does not cause middle ear infections. These are just a few of the common things that we have heard over the years. The stories go from person to person. However, there is usually not much to them.

DPH adopts new rapid HIV test Delaware’s Division of Public Health (DPH) announces the adoption of a new HIV rapid test for use in DPH clinics and community testing programs statewide. After evaluating several test technologies, DPH offers the Unigold Rapid HIV test which requires only a drop of blood from a finger prick to produce results in about 10 minutes. The test is offered free of charge. The Unigold test was selected because: It delivers accurate results in just 10 minutes, making it more convenient for clients and providers to fit into busy schedules. The shelf life of the product is 12 months, making ordering and supply to community providers easier. It offered a cost savings. While the previous OraQuick rapid test cost DPH $13 each, the Unigold test costs $10. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that 50 percent of all new HIV infections are passed from those who simply do not know that they are infected. HIV testing is recommended for all Delaware adults. To find the HIV testing site nearest you, visit hivtest.org and type in your ZIP code or call 800-232-4636 or the Public Health HIV Prevention Program at 302-744-1050.

Lots of people skip breakfast, or grab a cup of coffee and a donut to jump start their day. It’s definitely not the best plan. Experts tell us that a nutritious and balanced breakfast is essential for energy, focus, and concentration, and possibly even for maintaining a healthy weight. While it is important for everyone to eat breakfast, it’s especially important for children and teens. Eating breakfast starts the day off right and may make kids more alert. There is also evidence suggesting that a healthy breakfast

improves problem-solving skills and creativity. And kids who eat breakROWING P EALTHY fast regularly are less likely to miss days of school.

MORNING STAR • NOVEMBER 15 - 21, 2007

Amid flurry of the holidays, we must still remember the troops This is the time of year when we take a hard look at our calendars and give serious thought to how we will find the time to accomplish everything we want to accomplish before the end of the year. With Thanksgiving just a week away and Christmas just four weeks and a few days after that, we send our brain into overdrive as we face that calendar and reality. There is shopping to be done, with the challenge of finding that just-right gift for everyone on the list. Decorating the house for the holidays takes time and ingenuity and there are hours and hours of baking time to be included in our plan of action as we prepare dozens and dozens of cookies — some to be kept here at home, but a large amount to be shipped throughout the country to special family members. Time must be made to wrap all of the purchased gifts, address the cards we send to special friends all over the nation, to rehearse the special music that will accommodate the choir as they present their music honoring the Babe of Bethlehem. We must make time to have the house sparkling from top to bottom as anything less than “squeaky clean” will be unacceptable. Some of us must include hours of handiwork involved in creating special gifts for special family members, friends or special gift recipients. We must also continue the business of living our lives, completing the day-to-day chores, some of which we enjoy, others of which are less memorable but necessary. And, to top it all off, in just a few short weeks we will be receiving the dreaded income tax forms for use in preparing our 2007 tax returns for the Internal Revenue Service. If we base our lives on too serious a nature, we will totally freak out, throw up our hands and collapse in our favorite recliner in a state of dismay! This is also the time of year when we absolutely must give thought to those men and women who are in the Armed Forces, defending each of us as they are stationed both here at home and away from home. Those who are in active battle zones face challenges every single minute of every day in ways we who live complacently here at home cannot possibly imagine. They are fighting to stay alive and eliminate the enemy. Far too often we forget that these are

Moments With Mike VIRGINIA ‘MIKE’ BARTON the most special people on earth. They are men and women from all walks of life, many with young children here at home. They are men and women cut from a different bolt of cloth than most of us. They are the ones who are willing to face the challenges of battle every single day. There is not time for many of them to even think ahead for a few days, much less to Thanksgiving or Christmas. Last Sunday this nation observed Veterans Day. This special day honoring those who served in the Armed Forces of our nation during all of the wars and conflicts we as a nation have been involved in was recognized at churches throughout the country. American Legions, Veterans of Foreign Wars and other service-related organizations paid special tribute to those men and women who proudly served. Special recognition was given to those who paid the supreme price by giving their lives in defense of you and me. Another Veterans Day is behind us. But lives will be lost every single day that we have American men and women in a war zone. More than any time since the founding of this nation, our government should be concentrating on bringing all of our troops back to American soil. Presidential candidates are spending millions and millions of dollars to tell us how unbelievably great they are, what they will do when elected, what will not happen if they are elected. Some of the candidates make it all sound peaches and cream — if they are elected. For some of us, the best thing that can happen is for Congress to concentrate on bringing home every single man and woman in a battle zone. Not next week, next year or the year after, but today. Now. Sometimes ego gets in the way of common sense. Let’s get our priorities straight right now.

Doing the Towns Together LAUREL AND DELMAR SOCIALS SARAH MARIE TRIVITS • 875-3672 In memory of their former “queen,” Karen Hitch, the Red Hat Lunch Bunch of Laurel will commemorate her birthday, Nov. 21, with prayers and flowers at her memorial site and then have lunch at Heritage Shores in Bridgeville. The November birthday celebrants for this group are Janet Lee, Barbara Melvin and Janet Windsor. Becky Brittingham of Delmar recently spent a week with her daughter, Kim, sonin-law, Derek, and grandson, Griffin Lane, in Wynantskill, N.Y. Becky told me of enjoying so much the brilliant fall colors in upstate New York. They are so great at this time of the year. The Chapeaux Rouge group, the Red Hat Ladies in Delmar, dined at the Imperial Gallery in Salisbury for their monthly get together. Hostess was Dianna Dean. Members of the Laurel New Century Club met on Tuesday, Nov. 6, for a luncheon at the Delmar Diner. Following their business meeting they were enlightened on the subject of breast cancer awareness by Barbara Tucker of the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition Inc. The club is now making plans for its Christmas program and entertainment to be held at the Flight Deck in Georgetown. Anne Trivits Fellows and her husband, Irving, of N. Troy, Vt., will arrive on Saturday to spend holiday time with her brother, John, and his family and her mom (me, of course). This will be a double celebration as the Fellows live a bit far away and won’t be back for Christmas so it’s now turkey day and Christmas tree time while they’re here. Bring on the snow, but actually, they might bring some with them as they live in real cold, snow territory and they can spare it. The Laurel Garden Club met at St. Philip’s social room last Sunday. Their guest speaker was master gardener Brenda Brady, who talked about growing of herbs, with demonstrations of various types and tasting of the same. Hostesses for the afternoon were Sug Whaley, Dot Hickman

and Melinda Thornton. Ryan and Ethan Meade, who both attend Messiah College in Pennsylvania, spent the weekend here. Their top priority this weekend was to attend a performance and to see their younger brother, Steven, who performed in a play, “Play On,” at the Salisbury Christian School, a delightful comedy-mystery. The boys will return for the Thanksgiving holiday with their parents, Darrell and Charlene Meade in Bethel. Happy birthday to Delmar’s Beverly Shockley on Nov. 19. And to Phyllis Parker, happy turkey-day birthday — best wishes for a great holiday. Special happy birthday wishes to Betsy Davis on Nov. 20, from “a very old friend.” Just to inform her friends, Irma Ellis is no longer hospitalized but is back in Laurel at the home of her daughter, Nicole Dickerson. She can be reached with getwell thoughts and calls at 875-8017. We wish her a speedy recovery. We express our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Isabell Bell, Grace E. Litchford, Margaret Kirkendall, Avery Curtis Prettyman, William H. Hill and Wallace W. Brittingham. We continue with prayers for all of our servicemen and women and prayers for our friends who are ill: Irma Ellis, Harriett MacVeigh, Steve Trivits, Philip Lowe, Madelyn Mitchell, Donald Layton Sr., Jean Henry, Martha Henderson, Hattie Puckham, Martha Windsor, Teresa Littleton, Sam Moore and Terry Layton . Happy November birthday greetings to: Molly Collins and Emma Jean Hickey on Nov. 16; Barbara Melvin, Nov. 17; Rosemarie Hartshorn, Nov. 18; Helen Morris, Nov. 20; and Cecelia Kehnast, Nov. 22. “Happiness is a stock that doubles in a year.” See you in the Stars.

MORNING STAR • NOVEMBER 15 - 21, 2007

Letters Single mother needs help

My name is Mary Walker, I am a 26year-old resident of Seaford and single mother of two children, ages 7 and 2. I am writing this letter searching for answers. I work full-time for a company where I have been employed the last seven years. I also attend Delaware Technical and Community College full-time, where I am a member of the national honor society Phi Theta Kappa. I am pursuing my AA degree in criminal justice and want nothing more than to help the community when I graduate in May. I plan to continue my education until I achieve my master’s degree in a few years. As you can imagine my schedule is very busy and money is very tight since my husband abandoned our children and me over a year ago. Recently I have had to refer to the state for assistance (something I did not want to see myself doing). Since I work full time I am only eligible for a portion of my childcare expenses to be covered along with a miniscule amount in food stamps each month. You have no idea how it pains me to resort to such programs. I have had no choice in the matter since the state can not seem to assist me in receiving child support from my children’s father, although I have supplied them with his place of employment, cell phone and work numbers. The explanation I continue to receive is they “need to get a verifiable home address.” My question is this: Is it not important enough to the state of Delaware to protect the children of this state and go through any means necessary to contact the negligent parents and make them honor their obligations? I feel as though, since I supplied the only viable contact information for him, my court hearing should be able to move forward. My next set of questions pertains to the Delaware income guidelines for assistance. Since I have been so financially strapped due to my lack of child support, I have fallen quite a bit behind in my household bills. I have tried to sign up for further assistance in paying my rent (two months behind and on the verge of losing my rental home), my electric (received a shutoff notice because I am two months behind), free/reduced lunch for my oldest daughter (I make too much so she only receives reduced lunches). My cell phone is about to be cut off (my only mode of communication in case of emergency — would you go without a phone with having two small children)? And I had to get an extension on my automobile loan so I did not lose that. (I have to have a car to get myself back and forth to work and school. Public transportation in Sussex County is sub par — could you rely on it?) The Shipley State Service Center in Seaford explains that my gross income is taken into account when calculating benefits. Why do they count my gross income? I do not see all of that money. I pay nearly $400 per month for health insurance that I cannot afford, but I have to carry it because the state tells me I make too much for Medicaid. As mentioned above I do receive a minimal amount per month in food stamps (it comes out to $6.50 per day to feed myself and my children… can you

accomplish that?) I feel so robbed by the system, and have a right to! I am trying to do the right thing and go to work everyday and get a degree so I won’t have to rely on state programs, but I cannot get the necessary aid to do so. I feel like I would be better off quitting my job and relying fully on the state for support. Why is it that people who are working to be a better Delaware resident and a productive member of society are left out in the cold? Yet, able-bodied residents choose to sit at home, have more babies and “collect a check.” I don’t see the right or the just in that! I break my back working and going to school every day for my children, yet I am unable to get a hand up from that state that I am striving so hard to eventually be employed with. The current state policies and financial guidelines make it virtually impossible for the productive citizen that needs a little help. Yet the leeches of the system continue to win. I am simply asking for a hand up, not a hand out. I want to be able to wake up each day and know that I will have a roof over my head at the end of the day. I want to know that when my daughter needs her night light on because she is scared, there will be electricity for that to happen. I do not want to be a single mother statistic. I want so much more for myself and my children. But in my current situation, I just need a little more help than the state is offering. I am about to lose everything because I am trying to do the right thing. All I need is the state to help me help myself. Mary M.B. Walker

Many help with Vets Day program

On Sunday, on the 11th hour of the 11th day in the 11th month, citizens in the Seaford area gathered at the War Memorial in the Kiwanis Park to honor all veterans, living and dead, who are distinguished by their sacrifices to keep America free. Many thanks go out to those who made this occasion special. On behalf of the Seaford Veterans Committee, consisting of the American Legions Posts 6 and 37, Am Vets Post 1694, Disabled American Veterans Chapter 9, Marine Corps League Detachment 780 and the Veterans of Foreign Wars post 4961, I thank the citizens of Seaford for their support. A sincere thank you is also extended to the following for helping to make the service a success: the VFW honor guard, the NJROTC from the Seaford Senior High School, the city of Seaford Parks Committee for setting up the chairs and audio, the National Guard Reserves for providing the tent, the Seaford Volunteer Fire Department and Police Department for standing by, and the Seaford Senior High and Middle School bands for providing the music. The Seaford Veterans Committee would also like to thank Peter Bohn for his role as master of ceremonies and Vaugh Russell of Bridgeville, who was the guest speaker. Following the Veterans Day service, a brief dedication ceremony of bricks along the Memorial and Survivors Walkway was held. This walkway is the project of many hands: the City of Seaford, which supports and receives the money to pay the bills;

Charles Towers from Towers Signs who engraves the bricks, and John Whitt, owner of Nanticoke Concrete, along with employee James Jenkins Jr., who donate their time and labor to lay the bricks. A sincere thank you is extended to these people for their support and dedication. Veterans who are eligible for this walkway may obtain applications at the Seaford City Hall or from any member of the Seaford Veterans Committee. The committee has established Memorial Day and Veterans Day celebrations as the dates of dedication with Sept. 1 and April 1 being the cutoff dates for each dedication.

Foreign service workers are brave

Media commentators have heaped scorn on the State Department’s Foreign Service Officer corps for alleged reluctance to accept involuntary assignments to Iraq. Typically, commentators contrast cowardly diplomats to our brave military. But factually: • The Foreign Service is small, less than one-half of one percent the size of the U..S. military in personnel and budget. The FS is stretched thin at some 260 embassies and consulates worldwide, many of which are designated hardship posts. • More than 2,000 Foreign Service members have already volunteered for service in Iraq and Afghanistan over the last five years. Well over 80 percent of the FS-designated positions in Iraq for summer 2008 have already been filled, eight months in advance. • U.S. diplomats are unarmed, yet like the military, physical threat is part of their lives. To evade attacks, do you have to vary your routes and times when commuting? Do you practice holing up and holding out in secure areas of your offices against potential rioters or terrorist attacks? FS people have to, even in supposedly cushy places like Rome, Paris, London and Brussels. Do bombs go off at other workplaces down the street from you? Do your vehicles and yourselves have to undergo bomb searches before you can park and enter your workplaces? They do and I did, at the U.S. Embassy in Ankara, Turkey. Unlike ill-informed commentators, I’ve been there, done that. All praise to the military, but our U.S. State Department diplomats, staff and locally-engaged employees abroad are heroes too. D. Thomas Longo Jr.

Delmar, Md. U.S. Foreign Service Officer (retired)

Scare tactics are Trojan horses

For those of you who attended government schools, you probably have never heard of what happened to the city of ancient Troy during its war with the Greeks. To make the story simple without boring you to death, the Greek army had besieged the city for 10 years and still had not conquered it when it came up with the idea of building a giant wooden horse and hiding Greek soldiers inside it and withdrawing the rest of the army out of sight, while a spy by the name of Sinon convinced the Trojans that the giant horse was

a gift and that they should take it inside the city walls. Later that night, while the city of Troy was partying and reveling, the Greek soldiers emerged from the wooden horse and easily conquered the city, something they had been trying to do for 10 years. I see a parallel in today’s political scene. Instead of a wooden horse, it’s the “children.” When the liberals and “demecans” (Republicans who act like Democrats) want a social piece of legislation passed, they will tell you, “It’s for the children,” so as to imply that if you don’t go along with their socialist schemes you hate children. A similar lie has been used for years on the “mom-moms and pop-pops” of this country, telling them that evil conservatives want to take away their Social Security and cause them to resort to eating cat food. Something tells me that the tire they have been riding on for so many years, fooling the elderly into something that is not true, is beginning to wear pretty thin and that is why they have switched from “grandma and grandpa” to “little Johnny and little Susie.” People! Don’t be sucked into a guilt trip by these people when you object to these social programs for the children, because you will be reacting exactly the way they want you to. Once they get these “Trojan horse” laws passed, you will see later what surprises will come out of these things and believe me, it won’t be good. By the way: I like children. Larry Calhoun Laurel

Proud to be part of ceremony Yesterday, Veterans Day, was a day I’ll always remember. I was so proud to be a member of the American Legion and to be able to take part in this outstanding tribute to the veterans. I want to thank everyone who helped make this affair a huge success. First I want to thank the Star and Pat Murphy for the fine coverage. Then what can I say about the Rev. Charles Covington and the inspiring message he presented? It was great! And then there was the beautiful singing by 14-year-old Amanda Jones of Seaford. Her lovely renditions of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” “America the Beautiful” and “God Bless America” were wonderful. We had so many compliments. Thanks again Amanda. We love you. A special thank you goes out to the many Legionnaires who spent so many hours working on this presentation. I just want you to know how proud I am and how much I appreciate your work. And last but not least, a special thank you to the American Legion Ladies Auxiliary. What an outstanding job they did with the food, decorations and helping with the program. Thanks again – you ladies are great.

The moon, and its relative distance to the Earth, affects tides on a monthly basis. When the moon is farthest from the Earth (apogee), tides of decreased range or currents of decreased speed occur. When the moon is closest to the Earth (perigee), the occurrence of increased range or currents of speed is more prevalent.
