Layton honored as 2009 Delmar Citizen of the Year

By Mike McClure Joined by his wife, Susan, sons Brock and Jonathan, grandchildren, and other family members and friends, John Layton was honored as the 2009 Delmar Citizen of the Year at the annual banquet, sponsored by the Greater Delmar Chamber of Commerce, which took place last Wednesday at the Delmar VFW. “It’s sort of mixed emotions when you receive that call (to the award winner),” said Layton, who thanked God, the Delmar Chamber, his wife and his mom and dad. “It’s a great honor.”

Layton, the 32nd recipient of the award

in the past 34 years, was honored by Maryland Delegate Norm Conway, Delaware Senator Robert Venables, Delaware Representative Biff Lee and County Councilman Mike Vincent (for Vance Phillips), who presented tributes to Layton.

“You have worked with young people and in doing so you modeled character, team work and respect,” said Conway. “Participation in the community is what makes Delmar special,” Venables said.

“I’ve known this guy for a long time,” added Lee, who drinks coffee with Layton twice a week. “You’ve got

something to be proud of.”

Delmar (Md.) Mayor Doug Niblett (Delmar Lions Club) and Delmar Councilman Michael Houlihan, representing Delmar Mayor John Outten, also made presentations during the ceremony. Delmar Chamber President John Johnson presented a plaque to Layton and also acknowledged Lisa Ellis for her work in planning the event. Ellis has chaired the Citizen of the Year dinner for the past nine years.

The Delmar VFW prepared the meal, which was served by members of the Delmar High School’s culinary club.

By Lynn R. Parks State Sen. Robert Venables and his friend Ralph Gootee are both back home in Laurel after a boating accident that sent them to Shock Trauma in Baltimore. Venables suffered a broken

eye socket and bruised kidney and Gootee is recovering from a severe cut on his head and a broken shoulder.

Both men were knocked unconscious in the accident, which occurred after 10 o’clock Friday morning in the

Little Choptank River, where the men were fishing. Neither of them fell into the water. Neither was wearing a life jacket.

Venables at home after boating accident Continued from page 1

Venables, 76, was piloting the 16-foot aluminum hull flat-bottomed boat when it struck a buoy near Ragged Point, about 10 miles west of Cambridge, Md. When he regained consciousness, he said, both he and Gootee, also 76, were lying in the bottom of the boat. Two dogs that that belong to Venables and that had been with the men were in the water, about 50 yards from the boat.

“I don’t know how I didn’t see that buoy,” said Venables. Gootee was sitting on a cooler in front of him, he said, and in front of Gootee was Cutter, a standard poodle. Charlie, a miniature poodle, was sitting in Venables’ lap.

“I was piloting the boat, looking to the left and to the right in front of Ralph and Cutter,” Venables said. “I have always done that and could always see what was in front. I just missed it, I guess.”

Venables said that the boat was traveling at about 15 knots when it struck the buoy. The force of the impact knocked the engine into neutral, he said, so that the boat didn’t continue moving.

Police with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources responded to the scene at 10:52 a.m. In a press release, the police said that alcohol was not suspected as a factor in the accident.

After Venables recovered consciousness, he steered the boat to the two dogs and picked them up. He then went to shore and helped Gootee, who by that time was semi-conscious, out of the boat. Gootee was bleeding from a large cut in his forehead.

“When I saw all that blood, I thought, ‘I’ve got to get him to a hospital,’” Venables said. Another man on shore called for emergency help.

Venables, who put his two dogs in his truck, and Gootee were transported to Shock Trauma by helicopter. “I just remember a little bit of that ride,” said Gootee. “It was so noisy and I asked, ‘What are we riding in?’ I knew that we

had gotten there by car, and I couldn’t figure it out.”

Gootee was admitted to the hospital.

He was released Sunday and on Monday afternoon, he said that despite a painful shoulder, he was doing well.

“I’m happy to be home,” he said. “I guess I should be happy to be anyplace and know that I am pretty much OK and that my good friend [Bob Venables] is OK.” Venables was released from Shock Trauma Friday night at around 10 p.m., after he was able to walk around a room by himself. On Monday afternoon, he, Cutter and Charlie were recovering at home.

He commented on how lucky he and Gootee were that the accident didn’t have worse consequences. The engine, knocked into neutral, didn’t keep the boat going forward. The boat did not hit the buoy headon, he said, which would have been even a bigger jolt. And if either unconscious man had gone overboard, he said, that man could have drowned.

Gootee said that he is looking forward to returning to the Little Choptank to fish.

“I hope that I get to go back there,” he said.

“I don’t know if I’ve gotten fishing out of my system or not,” said Venables. “I’ve been doing it since I was 5 or 6 and I’ve had a pretty good run. But I feel that as long as I’m in good health, I will be back out there again.”

Venables likes to fish in the Ragged Point area in October and November, he said, because large fish come to the area to feed. In December, he likes to fish near the Bay Bridge Tunnel and the Indian River Inlet. He releases all the fish he catches, he said, and uses hooks without barbs so the fish aren’t hurt.

“I like to fish,” he said. “I have since I was a kid. And it seems that as I get older, and I have a lot of things on my mind, fishing is the only thing that I do that when I’m doing it, I’m not thinking about something else.”

MUDHOPPING GRANDMA - Possibly one of the oldest drivers in the sport of mud hopping is Martha Ruark of Laurel. At 74 years of age, Ruark rarely misses a mud hop and is a regular at the Dodge City Mud Hole, on Dillard’s Road in Seaford. Ruark can be found driving trucks in the Mud Hole rough terrain along side of drivers who are more than 50 years younger. Ruark said she has no plans to stop driving trucks in the mud hops, and will do it as long as she can get in the driver’s seat. Ruark is the wife of local musician Neil Ruark. Pictured here Martha Ruark poses in the driver’s seat of a Jeep Wrangler just prior to a mud hop event on Sunday, Oct. 26. Pictured with her is Dodge City Mud Hole owner Joe Hearn.

Laurel Mayor responds publically to letter written to newspaper

By Tony E. Windsor Laurel’s mayor took the opportunity at a recent Mayor and Council meeting to react to a letter that appeared in the Laurel Star newspaper in regards to the town’s water metering and billing policy. The letter which ran in the Thursday, Oct. 29, issue of the newspaper criticized the town for what was termed as “outrageous water bills” and unfair water meter practices.

The writer of the letter, Kathie L. Mills, said she and her family have been residing in Laurel since 1968. She said she now has two sons and a sister who live in the town.

One of her sons has had to install a water meter and the town basis water bills on the amount of water he uses. In contrast, Mills wrote that she and other members of her family are not metered for water. She said in comparison to her water bills her

son’s bills for metered water are “astronomical” and creating a financial hardship on his family. Mills stated that her son’s town water bill was due on Oct. 19 and two days later on Oct. 21, his water was shut off by the town for nonpayment. She criticized the town for not allowing a longer grace period before shutting her son’s water off. She also expressed a concern that the town was charging customers for water meters when not all homes in the town were metered. “Why is anyone paying to be metered before all residents are metered,” she asked in her letter? “Until all meters have been installed everywhere in the Town of Laurel, no one should be paying a metered fee. Some of these people have been paying high water bills for well over a year while others are still paying $98 for water, trash and sewer.”

The Laurel High School Marching Bulldogs ended their competitive season on Sunday, Oct. 25, at The Tournament of Bands (TOB) Chapter 9 Championships in Annapolis, Md. This year’s ensemble is comprised of more than 45 students, almost 10% of the student body; in 2002, there were eight participating students. The growth that the Laurel High School Band has seen is markedly against most trends in the state.

While most music programs are diminishing, Laurel’s program continues to increase.

This achievement is a testament to all of the students who have put forth their efforts to make the LHS Marching Band what it is today.

This past Saturday, the ensemble brought home second place in TOB Group II Regional Class, coming within points of their competition with an 84.35.

Congratulations to Liz Waite, sophomore; and Amber Cooper, senior, for their 2nd place Drum Major award.

Also, kudos to the members of the Laurel High School Percussion section: Corey Johnson, senior; Jeff Lauer, senior; Josh Lauer, senior; Justin Collins, senior; Skylar Hunt, senior; Taryn Laux, senior; Chase Jester, senior; Heather Melvin, sophomore; Taylor Wilson, sophomore; Davontra Rogers, sophomore; Erik Sweet, freshman; Zach Wathen, freshman; Bradley Hastings, freshman; and Nick

Bennett, 8th grade, for their 2nd place Percussion award. Special recognition to the Laurel High School Colorguard who swept Best Auxiliary at every competition this season. They truly are the best visual ensemble the marching band program has ever had. Kirsten Cook, senior; Kari Noftsinger, senior; Alexis Hunt, junior; Johanna Ray, junior; Lakerra Perry-Fooks, junior; Caitlin Stokes, junior; Victoria Libertini, junior; Kelly Marine, sophomore; Alexis Hill, sophomore; and Chelsea Bowles, freshman, came together to create one of the best visual packages in the state of Delaware.

A special thank you to the student leadership team for all their hard work this season. Without them, the Marching Bulldogs would not have achieved such amazing success.

The 2009 staff: Brian Cass, director and visual designer; Mary Pierce-Cass, assistant band director and visual designer; Lisa Bales, visual ensemble coordinator; Alexis Musser, visual ensemble technician; John Turner, percussion coordinator; and Alan Bales, videographer and chief slowcook barbeque expert, also recognize the band parents, Laurel School District, and the Board of Education for all their support. Without them these fantastic students would not have been able to represent Laurel High School with their Bulldog pride in three different states throughout the season.

During the Monday, Nov. 2, meeting of Mayor and Council Laurel Mayor John Shwed asked that the town’s finance manager, Mary Intracaso, explain the payment policy regarding the water bills. Shwed said the allegation that a resident’s water bill was cut off two days past its due date was concerning.

Intracaso said water bills go out the first or second of each month and are due at the end of the month. If the bills are not paid a letter goes out by the 15th of the following month giving five to six days for the bill to be paid. If the bill is not paid water can be shut off. However, Intracaso said there are 50 days between the due date and the time that the threat of water cutoff occurs.

Town Manager Bill Fasano said he feels in comparison to many other agencies, 50 days is “very generous.” He said anyone who has difficulty paying a bill with the town that calls or comes to town hall is also given personal attention. “We have people that come by Town Hall and make us aware that they are having financial difficulties in paying their bill and we work with them in developing a payment plan that is reasonable and fair. We are very sympathetic to the hard economic times and we work with dozens of residents each month who approach us with concerns about their bills,” he said.

Shwed said he was particularly concerned that Mills wrote in her letter to the newspaper that she had heard there were people exempt from being metered “depending on who you are.”

He said he is troubled that there would be people in the community who think there are those who get preferential treat-

BRYAN’S

ment from the town. “I can assure you there is no preferential treatment given anyone regarding water meters,” he said.

“I can say that because there are water projects in the area of my home and that of Councilman [Chris] Calio and we both are getting water meters. This is simply a process that the town is undergoing in an effort to meet a deadline of having all residences metered by the year 2011.”

Shwed explained that in an effort to “not waste taxpayer money,” it was decided that as the town did street construction projects water meters would be installed.

Currently the town has two major street projects going on in the town and Public Works Supervisor Woody Vickers said there will be another 130 water meters installed at residences in the area of these construction projects.

Vickers said this will leave about 440 water meters still needing to be installed by the deadline of 2011. He said the town has requested assistance from the State Office of Drinking Water for funds to do those remaining installations. He said it appears that the town will be able to make formal application for the funds which if awarded could come sometime after the first of next year. At that time it will be determined whether the funding will be in the form of a grant or a loan.

Shwed said he wanted to make it clear that the town strives to be fair with its billing practices and no one will be given preferential treatment. He said it is the goal of those sitting at the council table and the management of the town to provide the “best management practices in the country.”

Laurel boat ramp project site work set to start next week

By Tony E. Windsor

If all goes as planned it is expected that Laurel will have new boat ramp fully operational by the spring of 2010. On Monday night, Nov. 2, Lacy Nichols of the Delaware Division of Fish and Wildlife, was on hand to inform Laurel Mayor and Council that the work for the project has officially started.

Eight years in the making, the boat ramp project has been the victim of government “red tape” and Nichols said things have finally come to fruition. “It is true the wheels of government grind slow, but they produce a fine meal,” he said as he informed the council about the status of the Laurel River Park boat ramp project.

Nichols said pre-construction meetings started between the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control and Kaye Construction, the contractor who was awarded the project in public bid held in July.

Nichols said that the public should see “a lot of activity” on the site in the coming weeks, especially during site preparation.

The site work is scheduled to start on Nov. 11. The site work will include pulling out the existing timber bulk heads as the dock and pier are being installed. He said the construction contract calls for the project to be completed with 150 calendar days, so he feels depending on weather conditions, the project could be mostly completed in February. However, because concrete work is dependent on supplies that are

not usually available until weather begins warming in March the completed parking lots may not be installed by February.

However, it is anticipated that all work should be completed by April 2010 in time for the fishing season.

The town has been in negotiations with DNREC concerning the boat ramp project since 2002. At first the project was to be completed in a financial partnership which had the town offering land as a matching in-kind portion of the overall project costs, which was initially estimated to be about $250,000. Since that time, the state has agreed to pay for the complete installation of the boat ramp using special sports fishing and wildlife user license fees to pay for the town’s federal match for the project.

Also since the 2002 negotiations began the cost of the project has increased to an estimated $400,000.

Laurel Public Works Supervisor, Woody Vickers, told Mayor and Council that special grant funding has been obtained by the town which will enhance the boat ramp project through the installation of as many as 20 street lights and park benches, trash receptacles and picnic tables. Vickers said the town will work with DNREC as they do the boat ramp site work and perform installations as it is feasible according to the project status.

Laurel Mayor John Shwed said he is appreciative of the work being done by DNREC and the Division of Fish and Wildlife, especially in regards to news that the actual site work will begin next week.

“This project has been in the works for a number of years,” he said. “The people in the community were beginning to think that the boat ramp was not coming. I am excited that you [Nichols] have been able to make this announcement tonight about the project actually starting.”

The boat ramp is scheduled to include a floating dock and a fishing pier. It will be located at the entrance to the Laurel River Park off West 6th Street and include a parking lot large enough to house 10 vehicles with boat trailers along with 10 single vehicle parking spaces.

Business Castle supports new bill

Delaware Congressman Mike Castle voted in favor of H.R. 3854, the Small Business Financing and Investment Act. This bill will provide more loans, through the Small Business Administration, and increase small business development programs in an attempt to increase access to investment capital to investment

firms. HR 3854, as passed by the House, will: • Authorize $20 billion in Fiscal Years 2010 and 2011 for long-term loans for business startups, delivered through commercial lending institutions and guaranteed by the SBA. • Improve the America’s Recovery Capital (ARC) program by increasing the loan size from $35,000 to $50,000 to help

thousands of small businesses that are facing immediate financial difficulty.

• Create a capital backstop program at SBA to operate during a recession.

• Authorize $30 million in operational assistance grants and $1 billion in loan guarantees for each of Fiscal Years 2010 and 2011 for Renewable Energy Capital Investment Programs, created by the 2007 energy bill to allow SBICs to invest in small businesses involved in renewable fuel production. The SBA would also accept applications from businesses if they are unable to find a lender in their area. The SBA would then attempt to find a bank nationally to make the loan. If the SBA cannot find a lender, the SBA would be authorized to make the loan.

Businesses help Spicer family

Mike Meoli, owner/operator of Georgetown McDonald’s restaurant, teamed up with Great Scott Broadcasting and Bikers with a Cause for a motorcycle benefit ride on Sept. 26. The benefit was in honor of fallen Georgetown Police Officer, Chad Spicer, killed in the line of duty on Sept.

1. The ride started at Great Scott Broadcasting studios of WZBH 93.5 The Beach on Route 113 in Georgetown and ended at Harley Davidson of Seaford.

The Meoli Companies donated $5 for every registered participant of the ride to the Aubrey Spicer trust. The Meoli Com-

panies also donated $1 for every extra value meal purchased on Saturday, Sept.

26. An amazing 615 participants were registered for the ride at WZBH studios. The support for this event was overwhelming with over 600 extra value meals purchased on that Saturday alone at the Georgetown McDonalds.

Mike Meoli of The Meoli Companies presented a check for $3,760 to the Spicer family on Oct. 26 to contribute to the Aubrey Spicer trust fund. Aubrey is the 3-year-old daughter of fallen officer, Chad Spicer.

MORNING STAR • NOVEMBER 5 - 11, 2009

From Russia with love - Local family welcome sons

By Carol Kinsley

Blessed with three daughters, Jeff and Jodi Allen of Bridgeville longed for a son too, but births seemed to run either all girls or all boys in Jodi’s family. Her mother had three girls and her sister has three boys. If they left things to chance, a fourth child would likely be another girl.

Never reluctant to take on a challenge — Jeff is a farmer and Jodi, a registered nurse is a clinical analyst at Nanticoke Memorial Hospital — they decided to adopt, not one but two little boys to balance their family. And, because domestic adoption is a lengthy process, they made the decision last August to adopt internationally.

“We narrowed down the countries by process of elimination,” Jodi said. “We wanted the boys to blend with the rest of us, looks wise.” They finally decided to adopt from Russia.

It took five months to complete the paperwork, a foot-high pile of documents including permission from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service to bring home an orphan, FBI clearance, fingerprints and home studies. They had 200 documents that needed to be apostilled, that is, verified that the notary who notarized them is a notary. Because of pre-approval from CIS, as soon as their plane touched down on U.S. soil, the boys would become citizens.

When the referrals arrived — three pictures and sparse information on each boy — they had 48 hours to make their decision. They had the documents looked over at A.I. DuPont, but there was little question that they would take 2-year-old Blake and 3-year-old Travis. “We fell in love,” Jodi said. “We decided this is whom God had chosen for us, and whatever the problems, we’ll deal with it.”

In Russia, if parents can’t take care of their children, the government takes custody and parents have one year to “get it together,” Jeff explained. Blake and Travis each had a single mom who wasn’t going to take her child back.

After the referral, another set of documents was required. Jodi, who had been working part-time at the hospital since the birth of their daughter Devon two years ago, spent two days a week working on the adoption. “It wasn’t difficult, just time-consuming,” she said.

Jeff added, “The paperwork shouldn’t discourage you. The agency will take you right through it. The rewards are definitely worth it.”

They visited the boys, then in separate orphanages, for the first time in February and underwent medical exams themselves by nine Russian doctors, repeating tests already done in the United States. They returned to St. Petersburg for a court date in April. By then, Blake’s orphanage had been closed and he had been moved to the same facility as his brother-to-be, but they were segregated by age groups and had never met. A week later, it was back to Russia, and finally on April 24 — which Jeff calls “Gotcha Day” — the boys were officially theirs. Jodi posted on her blog, “I think the judge really wanted

to ask, ‘Why on God’s green earth do you want five kids?’ but she just smiled and wished us luck.”

There was yet more paperwork and medical exams for the boys before they could leave, but it gave them a chance to get acquainted with their new parents before meeting their new sisters awaiting their arrival in Delaware.

Blake quickly overcame his fear of Jeff — he’d had no experience with men

in the orphanage — and both boys began learning English. “They’re going to go crazy when they see Pop Pop’s farm,” Jeff predicted.

They returned home on May 1 and settled into a routine. Both boys were underweight and had some minor medical issues. Blake’s lazy eye is corrected

MORNING STAR • NOVEMBER 5 - 11, 2009 by glasses. Travis has flat feet, a heart murmur and has undergone surgery for dental decay. He now boasts “dinosaur teeth.”

At the orphanage the children had been well trained. When they get up, they fold their pajamas, make their beds and make sure their room is clean. “It’s a sad thing,” Jeff said. “They were never able to be kids. They learned they had to rely on themselves.”

A 10-foot wall surrounded the orphanages. “They never saw the outside world,” Jeff said.

At home on the farm, where the back yard backs up to soybean fields, they have plenty of room to play and experience nature.

Cars and trucks excite them, and they love watching the farm “machinas.”

Travis is fascinated by figuring out what makes things go, and Blake mastered driving Devon’s Barbie jeep in just a few minutes, oblivious to the pink color.

On their first full day in America they rode horses with their older sisters, Sydney, 13, and Branagh, 11. Jodi said they purposely did more for the boys at first, dressing them, even bottle-feeding them at night, to give them experiences they never had.

Devon, who celebrated her second birthday soon after the

boys arrived, loves her “brodders,” and gives them lots of hugs. “They aren’t sure about that, but she doesn’t give them much choice,” Jodi said. “She is still the ‘queen bee.’ As Branagh says, ‘Have you ever heard of a king bee?’”

During the summer the family took “the toddlers,” as they describe the three youngest, to the Delaware State Fair, spent hours at the beach and pool and went out on Jeff’s parents’ boat in the Nanticoke River.

During Thanksgiving week, they plan a trip to Disney World.

“I’m not sure if we are brave or stupid,” Jodi said. But of their decision to balance their family with two little boys from Russia, she and Jeff are sure. Jeff commented, “Everyone always says how lucky the boys are, but we feel that we are the lucky ones.

The boys are now our boys.

They have contributed to our family and in just five months they are our family. Each one of our kids has different personalities and needs but doesn’t any family?”

The Allens would be glad to share their story with anyone considering adoption, although they warn that every adoption experience is different.

NHS to honor two physicians with Nanticoke Tributes

Nanticoke Health Services has announced the recipients of the 5th Annual Nanticoke Tributes for Healthcare Leadership. The Nanticoke Tributes honor individuals who have made significant contributions to the provision and improvement of healthcare in western Sussex County. The awards will be presented at a dinner and reception on Thursday, Nov. 5, at Heritage Shores in Bridgeville.

The Nanticoke Tributes will recognize Rosalina L. DeJesus-Jiloca, MD and Eduardo L. Jiloca, MD into the Nanticoke Physicians Hall of Fame for serving their communities with dedication and distinction.

Dr. Rosalina L. DeJesus-Jiloca is a native of the Philippines and graduate of the University of Santo Tomas in Manila.

Interestingly, even though her future husband, Eduardo Jiloca, shared a Filipino heritage and graduated from the same medical school, they did not meet until they began working for Nanticoke Health Services in 1973.

Rosalina, who practiced as an obstetrician and gynecologist, did her internship at Mercy Catholic Medical Center in Philadelphia and her residency at Wilmington Medical Center, now known as Christiana Care Health.

Rosalina was the first physician to use laparoscopic techniques for gynecologic surgery in Seaford. To her the practice of medicine here was a breath of fresh air. “I truly enjoyed the practice of my profession

in a small community where everyone is friendly. It’s like we are all related. I have beautiful memories of the experience.”

Rosalina holds a diplomate certification in obstetrics and gynecology. Now that she’s retired, she looks forward to the next phase of her life that will begin in November of this year, when she becomes a grandmother for the first time.

Dr. Eduardo Jiloca, also a native of the Philippines and graduate of the University of Santo Tomas in Manila, began working for Nanticoke Health Services in 1973.

Eduardo, who was a family practice physician, discovered the community of Seaford and stayed to make a life here.

Prior to becoming a well-loved physician, Eduardo did his internship at James Walker Memorial Hospital in Wilmington, N.C., and his family practice residency at Louise Obici Memorial Hospital in Suffolk, Va. Eduardo’s desire to stay in Seaford was twofold. “I wanted to stay in one hospital.

I wanted to feel I was making an impact.

And there was something else that attracted me here. The senior physicians were very welcoming. I decided to stay.”

Eduardo served as vice-president of the medical staff at Nanticoke Memorial Hospital for two years and president of the Sussex County Medical Society from 1984 to 1986. He was also a member of the board of trustees for two years, and member of the board of trustees of the Delaware Medical Society.

Dr. Rosalina L. DeJesus-Jiloca

Dr. Eduardo Jiloca

Eduardo, who holds a diplomate certification in family practice, met his wife Rosalina L. DeJesus-Jiloca, MD, when he began practicing medicine here. Together, they launched a legacy of caring that would span three decades, care for hundreds of patients and make a significant contribution to the hospital and the community.

The Nanticoke Tributes will also recognize Thurman G. Adams Jr. with the Charles C. Allen, Jr. Philanthropy Award

for the support he generated throughout the years to support the provision of health care in our community. Lawrence B. Steele, III will be presented the Founders Award for his dedication and commitment of more than 20 years as a Board of Directors member of Nanticoke Health Services.

The Nanticoke Tributes will be presented at a dinner on Nov. 5, from 6 to 9 p.m., at Heritage Shores in Bridgeville. Tickets are $100 and may be purchased by calling 302-629-6611, ext. 2404.

‘Today and Tomorrow Conference’ talks about future

By Carol Kinsley

The 16th annual Sussex County “Today and Tomorrow Conference” attracted some 200 people who live in, work in or care about Sussex County to the campus of Del Tech on Oct. 28.

Vance Phillips noted in his welcoming remarks that the conservative County Council he heads is the only government in the state that has not raised taxes or laid off employees, all while maintaining critical services.

The council is guided by five principles which Phillips outlined for the audience: • Low taxes and limited government • Belief in the U.S. Constitution • Belief in God — a higher power that governs the ways of men • Belief in free enterprise, and • Belief in personal responsibility “The government can’t be everything to everybody,” Phillips said.

Judy Sciple, filling in for her boss, Del Tech Vice President and Campus Director Dr. Ileana M. Smith, who had lost her voice, reminded attendees of their personal responsibility for acting on the information that would be presented.

Dr. Orlando George, president of “award winning and nationally recognized” Del Tech, said the college is “fully aligned with the governor’s plan for the state” and is part of the solution when it comes to retaining jobs, supporting growth for existing businesses and attracting more.

He noted that almost half of last year’s graduating class went to work in the health care field, a trend that has been going on for several years.

The college has a recordbreaking 4,900 students enrolled this semester in credit courses.

While adding to the student population, in the last 10 years, the equivalent of four large high schools, there has not been one square foot increase in general purpose classroom or lab space.

Using an Audience Response System, Extension Educator Dr. Bill McGowan quizzed attendees.

Asked their comfort level with current efforts to stimulate Sussex County’s economy, 40 percent voted “still thinking,” while 34 percent voted “not happy.”

They ranked health care, green jobs and real estate/development, in that order, as having the most potential to bring jobs to Sussex County.

Ranked in order of potential to keep jobs here were health care, education and green jobs, with agriculture taking fifth place.

Dennis Forney, publisher of the Cape Gazette, later questioned Alan B. Levin, secretary of Delaware Economic Development Office, about agriculture and poultry not ranking higher, especially given that within eight hours’ travel there are 80 million people.

“How do we close the gap between potential and reality?”

Forney asked.

Levin responded that for years everything had been tilted toward the northern two counties, but that is changing with the new governor.

“We spend a lot of time looking at opportunities for Sussex County, and agriculture is a huge opportunity for us,” he said.

In his presentation, Levin said he and Secretary of Agriculture Ed Kee have met with the major poultry integrators.

“We are going to do whatever we can to help them continue to grow.”

Answering Forney, he added the department was looking at

MORNING STAR • NOVEMBER 5 - 11, 2009 Tech Strategy, which combined innovative policies and incentives to create a business environment in which clean tech companies can thrive and create well-paying jobs.

He helped the city of San Jose attract more than 50 clean technology companies, creating more than 3,000 new jobs and generating nearly $2 billion of new investment.

O’Mara said he thinks DNREC needs “to get back to basics, to

promoting the sale of chicken in Venezuela. “We don’t care about their politics. They’ve got cash.” Hinting at an announcement which is expected soon, he said, “You will know agriculture is as important to us as any other industry in this state.”

Levin also acknowledged the importance of tourism to Sussex County. Linda Parkowski, tourism director, who threatened to quit unless she got more support, now has six people working full-time on tourism and tourism ideas.

“I’ve never seen such enthusiasm and drive,” he said.

“If we can get people to come to Delaware, they’ll spend money — but we’ve got to sell ourselves. We can’t expect people to assume we are here and that they’ll stop in.”

He added that Sussex County would benefit from Fisker Automotive’s plan to build electric vehicles at a former GM plant in Wilmington, because many of the 4,500 people who will work there will vacation in Sussex County.

He credited Gov. Jack Markell for putting together the deal — in just two months and two days — that would bring an investment of $187.5 million into Delaware’s economy.

Levin also noted that earlier in the week a half billion dollars in bonding had been approved for NRG Energy’s reworking of its Indian River power plant.

“We’re not lending them a dime,” he explained, but the state earns a $750,000

fee through the bonding opportunity. Most important, “it cleans up an issue you have had to deal with far too long,” he said.

Rodger Levenson, execuive vice president and director of commercial banking at WSFS, and Michael Cummings, president of Miken Builders Inc., presented success stories on their respective businesses.

Levenson said, “WSFS is open for business and continues to lend when others aren’t.

While others hunker down, we are growing. We are a safe place for your money.”

Cummings purchased property in Ocean View in 1989 and “instantly fell in love with Sussex County,” he said. He expanded his Wilmingtonbased construction company in Sussex, recognizing the county was full of opportunity.

Today Miken serves the entire Delmarva Peninsula with 50 employees and has $25 million in annual sales. “Your business will prosper if you do the right things,” he said, noting his only investment had been $5,000. The rest was from retained earnings.

“If we could take that and build Miken, everyone in this room can be a success.”

The final speaker was Collin O’Mara, who has been secretary of the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control for six months. Seen as a “renegade kid” — he is 29 — O’Mara came to the job from the City of San Jose, Calif., where he was responsible for implementing San Jose’s Clean

protect air quality, water supply... and focus on things that get tangible results.”

He would prefer to be technology neutral, setting performance standards that need to be achieved but being flexible in how those standards are achieved on an individual site.

He recognized the need for reducing impediments to positive development and streamlining operations within his department so that there is a single point of

contact.

He described permitting at present like a game of football in a Peanuts cartoon, with DNREC (Lucy) pulling away the football just as an applicant (Charlie Brown) is ready to kick.

O’Mara would like to build project teams, to bring parties to the table all at the same time with the person requesting a project.

He’d also like to build toward a universal permit with all data in one document.

Board of Ed welcomes new reps

By Cathy Shufelt The Delmar Board of Education welcomed new Student Government Association (SGA) representatives Spencer Fothergill, SGA executive president and Casey Bellamy, SGA executive vice president, to the board’s October meeting.

Spencer and Casey will be representing the student body on the board of education and will lend their support and opinions until they graduate in May 2010. Both are seniors who were elected to the SGA for the 2009-2010 school year.

The Delmar School District, like other schools in the state, is reviewing their health related codes and policies given the newest statewide influenza protocols.

Many schools have instituted special policies for students, staff and teachers to help curb the spread of the flu and other illnesses in conjunction with state laws and health guidelines.

The Delmar Board of Education reviewed the district’s budget as of Sept.

30, 2009.

The budget includes state funding of approximately $9.3 million, local funding of approximately $1.5 million, federal funding of approximately $1 million, with

a total of more than $11.8 million.

The district has only received 64% of its funding to date, and is waiting to receive over $4.3 million by the end of the school year.

Jan Steele, Financial Director, reported that tax collection for the district is on schedule with a Capitation Tax of $13 per individual and a Real Estate Tax of $3.15 per $100 of assessed property value. Board members discussed the fact that budget issues are still a concern for districts throughout the state.

Charity Phillips, assistant superintendent, reported that the district is participating in Learning Focused Systems training like other schools in the state, and the Department of Education (D.O.E.) will be conducting their audit of the district on Nov. 5. Phillips, teachers and other administrators are preparing for the D.O.E.’s upcoming visit.

“They are looking at a long list of things, and we are going to be prepared for their visit,” said Phillips. Phillips also told board members that stimulus funds are being used to purchase computers, laptops, printers, software licensing, desks, chairs and other supplies.

Hospital issues flu season visitor guidelines To protect patients, visitors, staff, and volunteers during flu season, Nanticoke Memorial Hospital is modifying its visitation policies. These changes are similar to those instituted at other hospitals throughout Delaware and around the country, and follow the guidelines established by the Delaware Healthcare Association (DHA).

For the safety of our patients and to slow the spread of the flu (including 2009 H1N1), Nanticoke Hospital has implemented new visitation guidelines effective immediately: • Only two adult visitors will be allowed per patient at any one time.

• Visitation is limited to persons age 16 or older. Teens younger than 16 are at greater risk for flu complications and remain contagious longer than other children and adults.

• On the Obstetrical Unit the mother will choose two adult visitors, 18 years or above. These two visitors will be the only visitors permitted to visit.

• Visitors with flu-related symp-

toms (fever greater than 100 degrees, body aches, runny or stuffy nose, sore throat, nausea or vomiting) are asked to not visit the hospital unless they are seeking medical treatment for themselves.

• To reduce the risk of exposure, pregnant women are encouraged to not visit the hospital unless they are seeking medical treatment for themselves.

• When you are visiting the hospital, you may be asked to wear an isolation mask.

• Extenuating circumstances for visiting severely ill patients will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

• At this time, visiting hours remain the same but are subject to change should the need arise.

In addition to the established guidelines, Nanticoke Health Services offers the following safety precautions: • Cough or sneeze into your inner elbow and not into your hands.

• Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and water. If you touch a potentially contaminated surface with your hand, you can easily spread a virus to yourself by touching your nose, mouth, or eyes.

• If you can do it comfortably, wear an isolation mask if you must be around others who may already have the flu.

• If you are experiencing flu-like symptoms, we encourage you to stay at home until you recover fully.

However, seek medical attention immediately if your symptoms become severe and you experience any of the following: difficulty breathing or chest pain; discoloration of your lips; vomiting and regurgitation of liquids; seizures; confusion or lack of responsiveness; dehydration; absence of urination; or dizziness while standing.

Nanticoke Memorial Hospital appreciates the public’s support as they take these additional steps to protect patients.

Sheriff’s Office to expand duties

For more than two centuries, sheriffs and their deputies have served as officers of Delaware’s courts, delivering summonses and carrying out tax sales on behalf of the people. In the Family Court, however, private process servers, not deputies, have delivered court documents for more than 20 years.

Sussex County Sheriff Eric D. Swanson is working to bring those duties back under his roof.

Sheriff’s officials on Tuesday, Oct. 27, detailed their plans before the Sussex County Council to take over document delivery duties for the Family Court system, beginning as early as November, on a monthto-month trial basis.

If successful, the Sheriff’s Office could take on the assignment full time in 2010, based on a tentative agreement with the state.

“We believe we can offer the same service more efficiently and cheaper than what is presently offered for the Family Court system,” Sheriff Swanson said before County Council’s meeting.

County Council endorsed the plan and proposed rates, all of which will be submitted to the Delaware Office of Management and Budget for review. If a formal bid is required and the Sheriff’s Office selected, the County could earn an additional $80,000 a year in net income.

Nationally Certified Primary Stroke Center First and Only Certified Center in Delaware Nanticoke Memorial Hospital has earned the distinction of being the FIRST and ONLY healthcare facility in Delaware to be recognized by The Joint Commission for providing the gold standard

2, 1949, in St. Mary’s College, Ellicott City, Md. He was ordained a priest on June 20, 1954, by Francis Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of New York at Mount Saint Alphonsus, Esopus.

Father Hurley was assigned after ordination to the parish of Saint Mary’s in Annapolis, Md. The parish was very large.

He was in charge of a community that eventually grew into an independent parish in Cape Saint Claire, Anne Arundel County, Maryland.

He worked as an assistant to the Novice Master for a brief time. He then did graduate school studies at Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C., earning a master’s degree in sociology.

Father Hurley spent many years of his life in the formation of future Redemptorist priests, teaching in the High School seminary.

He was the president and rector of Saint Alphonsus College, Suffield, Conn. He also was the Novice Master for the Interprovincial Novitiate in Glenview, Ill. Another important focus of Father Hurley’s ministry was service as Vicar to the Provincial and then the Provincial of the Baltimore Province of the Redemptorists. He guided the Province that embraced at that time the entire east coast of the United States and extensive missionary work in Brazil, Paraguay, Puerto

PAGE 25

Rico, the Dominican Republic, and the United States Virgin Islands.

Father Hurley then returned to parish ministry as the pastor of Saint Patrick’s Church in Enfield for six years.

He was the associate pastor of our Lady of Lourdes since August 2005. In the parish, he had a number of important ministries under his care.

He mentored searching people who wanted to become members of the Catholic Church in the year long course called, The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults.

He worked very closely with the extraordinary ministers of Communion in their pastoral care of the sick at Nanticoke Hospital and those who were homebound. His kindness and care of the sick was extraordinary.

He was chaplain of the Legion of Mary.

Father Hurley delighted in offering short courses in Scripture on different themes.

The courses would run six weeks. He would offer the course in the morning to retired people and then in the evening to those who worked.

He used the Year of Saint Paul to examine Paul’s writings.

Father Hurley was preparing classes for an examination of the Infancy Narratives in the Gospels of Luke and Matthew in preparation for the great feast of Christmas, when he died suddenly.

Crude Oil Prices Crude oil continued to trade above the $80 a barrel mark for most of the week, fueled by positive domestic economic news.

At the close on Friday crude settled at $77.00, up 4% over last week.

News that the U.S. economy returned to growth in the third quarter revived expectations for an increase in fuel demand.

Future Outlook “Motorists have undoubtedly felt a pinch at the pump in recent weeks,” said Catherine L. Rossi, manager of Public and Government Affairs for AAA Mid-Atlantic. “Gas is almost 25-cents a gallon more than a month ago, mainly because of higher crude oil prices.

If crude oil prices level off or decline, it will help halt increases at the pump later this year. In the meantime, it’s possible that we’ll be paying a few pennies more in the days ahead.”

Local pricing On Tuesday gas stations from Delmar to Greenwood were selling regular gasoline in a range from $2.559 to $2.649 a gallon. The lowest price was six cents a gallon higher than a week ago and the highest price a penny less.

Health Dr. Zhang joins NMH

Nanticoke Memorial Hospital welcomes Li Zhang, MD to its active medical staff as a hospitalist, a physician who specializes in the care of patients while they are in the hospital.

Working with specialists, nurses, or others involved with the patient’s care, hospitalists communicate directly with Dr. Zhang the patient’s primary care physician and are available to the patient and their family for questions.

Dr. Zhang completed her residency in Internal Medicine at St. Mary’s Hospital in Waterbury, Conn. She holds a master’s in biology from the University of West Florida, has completed research in cardiology at Harvard University’s Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Boston, Mass., and has had several research papers published throughout her career.

Woman dies from H1N1

Delaware’s Division of Public Health (DPH) has learned of another H1N1related death, this time an 80-year-old Sussex County woman. She passed away Saturday, Oct. 24, in a Delaware hospital.

Because she doesn’t fit the typical age profile, additional H1N1 investigation was conducted to confirm her status.

While people 65 years and older are much less likely to become ill with novel H1N1 flu, when people in this age group get the infection, especially those who are immunocompromised, their risk of poorer outcomes is increased. This is not surprising given that people 65 and older are generally considered at higher risk of serious flu-related complications, including those requiring hospitalization, from seasonal flu illness.

Certain groups of people are at higher risk of complications from the H1N1 flu, including people with chronic underlying health conditions such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and those who are immunosuppressed. For most healthy people this has been a mild infection.

Combating the misinformation about the H1N1 virus

By Dr. Anthony Policastro

There is a lot of misinformation floating around about the H1N1 virus. I would like to address four of the current items.

The first is related to testing for H1N1.

There is a test but it is not readily available. In Delaware, specimens for testing usually go to the State lab. By the time the results come back, it is too late to be of any value to treat the individual.

There are some guidelines available.

The first of these is to only test high risk patients. That would include people sick enough to be in the hospital with flu-like symptoms. It would include individuals with underlying diseases such as asthma and diabetes and significantly ill children under five.

For that group of individuals a rapid test for Type A and Type B flu can be done. H1N1 is a form of Type A flu. A positive test means that the patient has Type A flu - it could be H1N1 or a seasonal Type A flu.

So even if it is positive, it may not be H1N1. In addition, there are a lot of patients with H1N1 who have a negative Type A flu test. At best 20% of patients with H1N1 disease will have a negative Type A flu test.

The bottom line is that there is no easy way of telling someone if they have H1N1 flu until after they have gotten better.

The second item is related to the use of Tamiflu. Treatment with Tamiflu makes sense for individuals with diseases like asthma. For the average person with

H1N1, it may make little difference to the disease. In addition, like any drug, it can cause side effects. It also has to be used within 48 hours of the onset of symptoms.

It is not the cure all that everyone thinks.

The third item has to do with the belief that the severity of H1N1 is based upon who you catch the virus from. I have had people tell me that they were in contact with someone who had the severe disease.

The virus affects everyone differently.

Some people will have severe symptoms while others will have moderate. The kind of symptom that you have is related to your individual makeup.

You might get severe symptoms if you catch the virus from someone with mild symptoms. You may have mild symptoms if you catch the virus from someone with severe symptoms. It is related to the individual not to the degree of illness in the next person.

The fourth item is related to the H1N1 vaccine. There is a thought that this vaccine is different than the typical flu vaccine. That is not quite true. Every year the annual flu vaccine is different than the year before. There is a basic vaccine to which that particular year’s suspected flu viruses are added.

This year, we just happen to have two different flu vaccines. One contains the Type A and Type B viruses that are likely to be present later this winter. The other contains the H1N1 virus. The perception that the H1N1 vaccine is completely different than anything we have ever had before is not correct.

Entertainment

This is Punkin Chunkin weekend Featuring flying pumpkins, music, food and contests The Punkin Chunkin Association is presenting the 24th annual world championships Friday-Sunday, Nov. 6-8. The competition will be at the Wheatley Farm, Bridgeville.

This year’s Chunk is partnered with the Discovery Channel which will be filming two hour-long segments that will air on Thanksgiving Day. The first hour, “The Road to Punkin Chunkin,” will feature prechunk events, teams and information about the Punkin Chunkin Association and what it does. The second hour highlights this year’s competition.

Proceeds from last year’s event raised nearly $60,000 for scholarships and charitable organizations.

“We’ve adopted St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital again this year, and numerous local charities,” said Punkin Chunkin spokesman Frank Shade. “Last year’s donation to the hospital brings our total to around $75,000 in the last several years.” Another nationally based charity Punkin Chunkin supports is the American Cancer Society.

“We also support education,” said Shade. “Last year we gave $20,000 in scholarships to students pursuing advanced

degrees in agra-science, mechanical technology, physics, engineering or other science-related fields.” The funds were raised during the November 2008 World Championship Punkin Chunkin competition.

“With the economy down, we have decided to downsize the cost of the Friday night concert,” said Shade. “We will be featuring the Funsters on Friday evening, and the concert is free for everyone on the field. Your admission to the event will get you to the concert.”

Some of the other organizations the Punkin Chunkin Association supports include a Lions Club, Lower Delaware Autism Foundation, Shriner’s Hospital, Home of the Brave, scouting programs, children’s sports-related programs, and children’s and family organizations.

The gates open at 7:30 a.m. all three days, and competitions begin at 9 a.m.

The contests are expected to end by late afternoon, at which time there will be a free-for-all demonstration. Competitors are not limited to hurling pumpkins during the free-for-all; any fruits or vegetables are legal. Final contests begin at 8 a.m., Sunday, Nov. 8, and champions are crowned during an awards ceremony at the end of the day.

In addition to the flying pumpkin spectacles, the event includes food booths, craft booths, rides for children, a cooking contest and live entertainment. Saturday’s events will conclude with a fireworks display.

Admission is $9 per person and free for children younger than 12; parking is

$2. For more information, call the Punkin Chunkin Association office at 443-6241865. The new site is approximately a mile east of the intersection of Route 404 and Route 18.

Victorian Christmas featuring Area mammography goes digital special activities for children

By Donna Dukes Huston

By Anne Nesbitt

The morning of Saturday, Dec. 12, of the three-day Victorian Christmas at the Ross Mansion will feature an activity for children from 10 a.m. to noon.

This children’s program called “Gathering Greens with Santa” is exactly what it says. Santa and his elf will be there to help each child go out to select a few greens with which he or she will make a swag or some such arrangement. There will be an opportunity for photos with Santa and refreshments of donuts and hot chocolate will be served. While working, the children will be entertained by Emma Scott, a 16-year-old accomplished violinist, for whom the children hold great admiration and who serves as an inspiration with her performance.

Each child must be accompanied by an adult. The charge is $3 for each child with no charge for the accompanying adult. For other adults the charge is $7 per person.

On the three days, Dec. 11, 12, and 13, the 13 rooms of the Ross Mansion will be open for touring at the convenience of the guests. They also may tour the slave quarter, the gift shop Christmas Boutique, or participate in the bid-in-the-box on flower wreaths and arrangements on display throughout the Mansion.

We’re d decorate for s Christma

Santa and Annie the Elf will be helping at the Ross Mansion children’s party on Dec. 12.

Soroptimist International of Seaford recognized October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month at the club’s meeting on Oct. 7.

Dr. Kathleen Gordon of the Mears Center and Renee Morris of Nanticoke Memorial Hospital spoke to the club about digital mammography which will soon be offered at the Mears Center in Seaford.

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in Delaware, according to Morris.

“If it is less than the size of a pea, there is now a 95% survival rate if it is discovered in the early stages,” said Dr. Gordon.

According to Gordon, breast cancer can be defeated by three means: regular self-exams, annual medical exams, and an annual screening mammogram.

Women should begin the screening process at age 40 if they have no family history of breast cancer.

Dr. Gordon cited several reasons for moving to digital technology: lower radiation dose; fewer patient call-backs which can help decrease patient anxiety; faster exams/increased productivity; improved image quality; and digital viewing and storing.

Using conventional imaging, the

Dr. Kathleen Gordon spoke at the October Soroptimist International meeting about digital mammography.

Mears Center currently performs 27 mammograms a day. With digital technology, this will increase to 50-60 daily, according to Morris.

This is a 200-300% increase of patients they will be able to screen each day.

“Breast cancer is no longer a death threat,” Dr. Gordon added. “We can find it earlier, and earlier detection means decreased mortality.”

Boost your immune system with these delicious recipes

Seems like everywhere you go these days people are talking about the flu. Record numbers of us have already scrambled to get the old-fashioned flu shots but the H1N1 or “swine flu” vaccinations are still in short supply.

At the online food site, Epicurious, Dr. John La Puma, author of Chef MD’s Big Book of Culinary Medicine, dishes out advice for what to eat to boost immunity and fight the flu.

He lists six foods that should be in your flu season diet. If you have immunity problems - thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and celiac disease - consult your doctor before increasing your intake of any of these foods.

Here are the first three immunity boosters on La Puma’s list.

The final three will appear in next week’s column. If you suspect that I’m trying to avoid thinking about Thanksgiving, you’re absolutely correct.

Quercetin Powerhouse Produce: Apples, onions, broccoli and tomatoes Quercetin is one of many thousands of flavonoids, substances that are responsible for plants’ colors, as well as many of their health benefits.

Quercetin is also believed to aid in disease prevention thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties. So make sure that apples, onions, broccoli and tomatoes are in your diet.

When buying tomatoes, consider choosing organic, which La Puma says have higher levels of quercetin than conventionally grown ones.

Chicken soup Yes, your grandmother was right - chicken soup really does have healing properties, according to La Puma.

A hot bowl of soup “reduces mucus and facilitates coughing it up.” To get the anti-inflammatory and other health benefits of produce too, the doctor suggests making chicken soup with vegetables rather than using storebought condensed soup or cooking with chicken alone.

Green Tea Add fighting the flu to the long list of green tea’s health benefits, which also include fighting cancer and heart disease and possible links to “lowering cholesterol, burning fat, preventing diabetes and stroke, and staving off dementia,” according to WebMD.

Green teas contain higher oretta norr levels of catechins, the flavonoids thought to be responsible for tea’s antiviral properties, than oolong and black teas.

As medicines go these flufighting recipes 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro, are pretty easy to swallow. divided Preheat oven to 450°.

The Delaware State Police are presently investigating a home invasion in the 10000 Block of Middleford Road, Seaford.

On Sunday, November 1, at approximately 7:55 p.m., three black male suspects entered a residence and made demands on four adult males. A 15-yearold juvenile fled the front room and locked himself in a bedroom. One of the suspects attempted to gain entry into the room without success. The suspect then fired one round through the door, striking the juvenile in the arm. The suspects then fled the residence.

The juvenile sustained nonlife threatening injuries and was transported by personal vehicle to Nanticoke Memorial Hospital.

Delaware State Police urge anyone with information pertaining to this incident to contact Troop 4 at 856-5850 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333.

Police search for suspect

On Oct. 31 at 5 a.m., Seaford Police responded to a report of a robbery at Happy Harry’s on Sussex Highway, Seaford.

Officers determined that an unknown white male entered the store and proceeded to the pharmacy. The suspect then displayed a silver handgun while confronting a store employee and obtained an undisclosed amount of Oxycodone. The suspect fled the scene in a silver four door passenger vehicle with unknown registration. The scene was processed by the Seaford Police Criminal Investigations Division who is investigating the crime.

The suspect is described as an unknown white male, 5’7” – 5’9”, 130 - 170 lbs., unknown age, wearing black shorts, black hooded sweatshirt covered with small white skulls, white/gray

The Taurus was traveling northbound on US 113 approaching the intersection of CR 224.

The F-250 was traveling in the left lane next to and slightly behind the Taurus. The GMC was traveling west on CR 224 approaching the intersection with US 113. It failed to stop for a clearly posted stop sign and

drove into the path of the Taurus and the F-250 resulting in the collision with both those vehicles.

After the crash, Foster ran from the scene on foot. He ran north on US 113 in the right southbound lane of travel. He was then struck by the driver’s side mirror of the southbound traveling Chevrolet Venture. This

impact knocked him to the ground where he was struck by the Mazda Tribute. Foster was pronounced dead at the scene.

The only other person injured was Gibbs who was transported from the scene to Beebe Hospital with a wrist injury.

A computer check revealed Foster was a suspended driver.

Laurel football team tops Indian River to set up showdown with Delmar

By Mike McClure

The Laurel varsity football team defeated Indian River, 35-7, last Saturday to move to 4-0 in the conference and 7-1 overall. The win, and Delmar’s 47-7 win over Polytech, adds even more importance to the annual game between the Bulldogs and the Wildcats which will take place this Friday in Laurel. The winner of this game will win the Henlopen South.

“It’s Laurel against Delmar, that’s the only thing that needs to be said,” Laurel head coach Clarence Giles said following Saturday’s win. “They’re (Delmar) really clicking offensively and they’re gelling defensively. Delmar’s going to give us their best.”

Unlike in previous seasons, this year’s contest between Indian River and Laurel, which took place during the Indians’ homecoming weekend, did not come down to the wire as the Indians lost their third Henlopen South game of the season.

“It (the win) feels great. It’s a huge rivalry,” said Laurel quarterback Chris Cutsail. “They’re always ahead of the South with us and Delmar. It’s always a game both teams get up for.”

Indian River took possession of the ball on the Laurel 36 following a Laurel punt at the start of Saturday’s game. Indian River went for it on fourth and 11 from the Laurel 26, but the pass fell incomplete.

Indian River got the ball back on the Laurel 46 following a fumble recovery by Nate Warrington. The Indians moved the ball to the 23 before Mike Melson was dropped for a six-yard loss by Laurel’s

Justin Rife after receiving a pass from Tim Bokinsky. IR’s Jake Buchler attempted a 41-yard field goal on fourth and 12 from the 25, but the kick fell well short.

Laurel took over on its own 20 yard line and put together its first scoring drive.

Running back Chris Jones kept the drive Continued on page 45

Laurel Pop Warner Pee Wee football team tops Woodbridge The Laurel Pop Warner Pee Wee football team finished the regular season with a 20-7 victory over Woodbridge on Saturday, Oct. 24.

The Bulldogs scored first on a one-yard run by Johnny McGinnis. Justin Revel threw an extra point pass to Leon West to make the score 7-0. Woodbridge scored on 64-yard run and also ran in the extra point to make the score 7-7.

In the second quarter the Bulldogs scored on a 29-yard touchdown run by Johnny McGinnis and a Justin Revel to Skyler Chaffinch extra point pass to make the score 14-7. That’s when the game turned into a fiasco.

With a Woodbridge player running the ball, a Laurel player stripped the ball from him and was also called for a horse collar tackle that the referee said occurred after the fumble that Laurel recovered.

The Woodbridge coaching staff argued the call and then pulled their team off of the field and refused to play. After 10 minutes of arguing the referees put the ball back in play and Laurel scored on a 70-yard run by Seamus Burke making the score 20-7. Before Laurel tried for the extra point, the referees threw the ball in the air and called the game because the Woodbridge coaching staff was walking their kids away from the field.

With the win the Bulldogs clinched the first seed in the Henlopen Conference tournament that starts. Laurel will receive a first round bye before playing at home Nov. 7 or 8.

Alonzo Cannon had 12 carries for 90 yards and made three tackles; Leon West had two tackles and an assist; McGinnis added a tackle and an assist; and Gary Warren recovered a fumble and made a tackle for Laurel.

PUZZLE SOLUTIONS

If it’s not in the Laurel Star, it’s not in the local paper.

MORNING STAR • NOVEMBER 5 - 11, 2009 Laurel football continued alive with a two-yard run on fourth and one from the 29. Shawn Miller picked up six yards on third and five from the 36 and Cutsail completed a 38-yard pass to Kyle West.

Jones capped the drive with an 11-yard touchdown run and Adam Black added the extra point for a 7-0 Laurel lead with six minutes left in the second quarter.

The Bulldogs’ Joe McGinnis recovered an Indian River fumble at the Indian 13 to set up another Laurel score. Cutsail rolled out and fired an 11-yard strike to West for the touchdown and Black’s PAT increase the lead to 14-0 with 3:46 remaining in the half.

Indian River threatened late in the quarter as the Indians started with the ball on their own 20. Bokinsky had a 30-yard run and Devon Showell gained 12 yards.

Laurel’s Jerry Reed stopped Bokinsky after a five-yard gain on first and 10 from the Laurel 13 with under a minute left.

Indian River went for it on fourth and four from the seven with 10 seconds left, but Miller made a key interception to keep Laurel’s lead at 14 points going into halftime.

“I just saw that they kept doing slants.

I was mad that I missed that first one,” Miller said.

West hauled in an interception to open the second half and the Bulldogs took advantage of the miscue. Cutsail sustained the Laurel drive with a two-yard keeper on fourth and one from the Indian River 26. Jones scored on a 24-yard touchdown run as he bounced off the Indian River defenders and ran down the Laurel sideline for the score. Black booted his third successful extra point to put the Bulldogs up, 21-0, with 9:17 left in the third quarter.

Laurel’s Luke Hare recovered a fumble and Miller recorded his second intercep-

tion of the game later in the quarter.

Laurel put seven more points on the board with 10:49 left in the contest as Cutsail completed a 30-yard touchdown pass to West and Black’s PAT was good (28-0).

Indian River got on the board thanks to Showell’s three carries for 29 yards and a touchdown. Buchler’s extra point made it 28-7 with six minutes left.

McGinnis returned the kickoff 50 yards to set up Laurel’s final touchdown. Miller scored on a four-yard run and Black booted his fifth successful extra point of the game for a 35-7 Laurel lead (5:05).

“We just came out and did what we had to do,” said Miller, who credited his

offensive line for blocking on his touchdown run.

Jones carried the ball 20 times for 113 yards and two touchdowns and Miller added nine carried for 36 yards and a touchdown and two interceptions. Cutsail completed four passes for 83 yards and two touchdowns with West catching three of those passes for 74 yards and two touchdowns.

“It (passing game) started a little rough earlier in the season. Everything seemed to click with passing game (on Saturday),”

Cutsail said. “We’re going to need the passing game with some of the tougher teams coming up.”

Laurel will look to clinch the Henlopen South championship and a state playoff berth with a win over Delmar on Friday.

The Wildcats, who started the season losing three of four non-conference games, will look to do the same with a victory.

“Now the South’s on the line, playoffs are on the line for them, and it’s senior night for us. It’s going to be intense,” said Cutsail.

Reflecting on Veteran’s Day and our World War II vets

By Jim Allen Post 19 historian

As another Veteran’s Day approaches, I cannot help but think of the many World War II veterans who are no longer with us.

It does not seem like 66 years have passed since I was inducted into the Army. Where has the time gone?

When I look at the picture of the first meeting held in July, 1949, at the new American Legion home, I cannot believe what I see. Of the 66 veterans in the picture, only five are still living. What memories I have and the stories I could tell.

Having been an active member of Post 19 for 64 years, I have experienced the ups and downs and the many challenges we faced over the years. It was not easy, but I can proudly say that our accomplishments were many.

The Laurel American Legion Home was built by World War II veterans as a memorial to all veterans. Well, as you know, the World War II vets are leaving us at the alarming rate of about 1,800 daily. But it is good to see the younger vets stepping up to keep veterans organizations

moving forward. The American Legion and V.F.W. posts are in the good hands of the younger generation.

I hope there is never another war like World War II. We had more than 19 million young men and women in the military and nearly one-half million never returned home. Every family in the country had loved ones or friends who never came back … and they are the ones I think about every day. But I also remember all the war stories that I have heard over the many years. Most vets do not like to talk about their accomplishments, but we must not forget their many good deeds and how they fought for their beloved country.

It was many years after the war before I could get my brother, Earle Allen, or my good friend Frank Ward to talk about their experiences as P.O.W.s in Germany.

They were shot down on bombing raids over Germany and endured some terrible times. Roland Ellis, Post 19’s first commander, made it back “Coming In On a Wing and a Prayer.”

I think of guys like Fred Dykes who manned a machine gun in New Guinea, and Johnny Janosik whose ship, the USS

VETERANS DAY

Louisville, was torpedoed by the Japanese and nearly sunk.

I remember the night that my good friend, Reese Parker, told me how he and his buddy had to spend the night in a foxhole in the Ardennes under a German tank. Then there was another hero, Pet Culver, who took over a machine gun after the gunner had been killed and saved his squad.

Many of our local young men went through hell in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. Roger Whaley, Albert Phillips, Richard Parker and Kenny Bolt are just a few of the many local boys who served our country in foreign land. These veterans never boast or talk about their experiences but we know what they went through and their deeds will never be forgotten. All veterans, past and present, are heroes.

I encourage everyone on Nov. 11, to stop what they are doing and take a moment to remember our Veterans and their outstanding deeds and sacrifices. A Veteran’s Day service will be held at the Laurel American Legion Post 19 at 11 a.m. and everyone is invited. I‘ll see you there!

Following is a listing of the number of civilian veterans living in each town in western Sussex County, according to the latest Census information. Also listed is the percentage of overall population. The national average is 12.70%.

Civilian Veterans in Greenwood 90, or 15.7 percent of the total population Civilian Veterans in Bridgeville 145, or 14 percent of the total population.

Civilian Veterans in Seaford 671, or 13.9 percent of the total population.

Civilian Veterans in Laurel 298, or 12 percent of the total population.

Civilian Veterans in Bethel 26, or 17.4 percent of the total population.

Civilian Veterans in Delmar 156, or 15.1 percent of the total population.

REMEMBER WITH LOVE

The men and women who served our country deserve our respect. Honor and remember their sacrifice for us and our freedoms.

Delaware” tells the stories of 50 men and women with ties to southern Delaware, but they are not about the nation’s first state.

They are about the war zones, the personal encounters and the first-hand accounts of a heroic group of Army soldiers, of Navy seamen, of United States Marines and others.

A first-place award winner in the 2007 Maryland-Delaware-D.C. Press Association’s editorial competition, the series recounts stories from battlefields in Europe, Asia and Africa, as well as accounts from those who stayed stateside in support of the war effort.

There are accounts from Iwo Jima, from the invasion of Normandy on DDay and from Pearl Harbor. They are told with emotion and filled with pride for the United States of America.

Copies of “World War II Heroes of Southern Delaware” will be on sale at the offices of Morning Star Publications from 12 to 4 p.m. on Veteran’s Day, Nov. 11.

A portion from each copy sold during the kickoff event will be returned to a local veteran’s organization, to be named later.

The offices of Morning Star Publications are located on Norman Eskridge Highway, in the Home Team Realty building.

Honoring Their Memory

Local author James Diehl will hold a book signing event at the offices of Morning Star Publications on Wednesday, Nov. 11, to celebrate the release of his new book, “World War II Heroes of Southern Delaware.”

Featuring more than four dozen profiles that originally ran in the Seaford and Laurel Star newspapers in 2007-2008, the book is published by DNB Group, Inc., Diehl’s company, and is being released on Veteran’s Day in honor of the brave men and women featured in its pages.

“This book has been a long time coming and I am honored to feature it for the first time at the offices of Morning Star Publications,” says Diehl, a Seaford native and 1988 graduate of Laurel High School.

“These profiles were an important part of the Star for nearly a year and it’s only fitting that the official release should occur there.”

It’s men like our Scott Sheridan Doing the Towns Together LAUREL AND DELMAR SOCIALS who make the rest of us proud

The World Series. Just say those two seemingly little words in late October or early November and there isn’t any doubt in the mind of anyone as to just what you are talking about.

Baseball, the World Series and Scott Sheridan all go together in the same sentence. And for an average small town, a town like Laurel, once again the World Series has special meaning.

When one gets down to the nitty-gritty of any major league sport, the fact is that the team, whatever the sport, is made up of men, or women, from small towns all across America. Men and women who many of us have known since birth, watched grow up, are friends with their entire families, and are especially happy for their success.

For the second year in a row, Scott Sheridan has been the headliner in the town of Laurel, and for those who know him, we are proud as punch of his accomplishments.

For the second year in a row, the Philadelphia Phillies have made it to the World Series. That in itself is a big accomplishment, representing every area of the game of professional baseball, the talents of every team member, and the management staff, all working together to be in the headlines again this year.

The Phillies are just like any other professional team. They are a team made up of men from towns of every size from hamlet to metropolitan size, all across the nation.

Scott Sheridan is a typical small town kid who comes from a solid family, or families, grew up in a typical small town, worked hard and achieved success.

Scott is the son of Paul and Judy Owens Sheridan, average citizens in our Sussex County town. His dad, Paul, is a retired employee of C.C. Oliphant, sheet metal firm founded and dominant in Laurel for many years. Paul now serves as an alderman in the court system in Laurel. Scott’s mother, Judy, nee Owens, is associated with Dr. Joe Olyczk’s office in Seaford. Scott’s sister, Ann, is with the court system; his brother, Mark, is a paramedic in Sussex County; his sister-in-law, Penny, is a nurse; his brotherin-law, Jeff Hill, and Mark, have been longtime members of the Laurel Fire Department since they were old enough to join that group of dedicated citizens.

Scott’s paternal grandparents were Jim and Elizabeth Sheridan. His grandfather, retired from C.C. Oliphant & Co. after 46 years of work and the family lived on Cooper Street where his grandparents had one of the most beautiful and productive gardens

Moments With Mike Virginia ‘Mike’ Barton in the town of Laurel. His maternal grandparents were Avery and Helen Owens of Laurel. “Mr. Avery” was the craft specialist at O’Neal Brothers Lumber Company, and could create beautiful furniture that would equal any offered anywhere in this nation.

“Miss Helen” was well-known to anyone who ever shopped at Chipman’s Shoe Store or Calio’s Shoes in Laurel.

The entire family has been very involved in both church and civic life forever. In addition, activities at Laurel High involved Scott, Mark and Ann while they were students.

Upon graduation, Scott went on to study at West Chester University in Pennsylvania, receiving his degree and specializing as a trainer in athletics. While a student at Laurel, he was an average kid who was involved in many school activities.

The redhead with the engaging, ready smile and big, shining eyes, graduated from Laurel High in 1987. Involved in Laurel High sports, he played cornerback on the 1986 Division II state championship team.

Scott and his wife, Deb, live in West Chester, Pa., with their two children, Scott, 9, and daughter, Emilee, 6.

Last week Scott Sheridan had his 40th birthday, an event that seems impossible to those who have known him since birth!

Most people who turn 40 go out to dinner, or have a group of friends come over to the house for a small dinner party. Not Scott.

This kid from Laurel grew up to be a successful sports trainer, worked hard, became successful and is now the trainer for the Phillies, met and married a fine young girl, has a son and daughter of his own, and has remained the kid with the ready smile and high personal values. All the while, deep down, he has remained an Oriole fan!

Scott Sheridan is the typical American success story. It is the Scott Sheridan’s of the world that make the rest of us proud.

Young high school students couldn’t find a better role model to pattern their lives after than Scott Sheridan, trainer for the World Series Phillies.

This item really should have been in last week but due to a lack of means of communication (Mrs. Calio misplaced the phone) it just recently found its way to me. Frank tells me that Dominic Calio and family, wife Amber, sons Jordon and Chase spent a recent weekend with them and while here enjoyed a Saturday night dinner at Suicide Bridge and on Sunday were lured to Bryan’s Bowling Lanes for a few games before returning to Chesapeake, Va.

For a few days last week Marge Starr had as guests her son, Michael and his wife, Mary Beth from Wilmington, N.C. For the first time since his accident last year John Benson went for a few days flying down to Baton Rouge, La. with his parents, John and Georgie, to visit his sister, Shari, who is a second year student at L.S.U. pursuing a masters in Sports Medicine-Athletic Training. John and family had a great time visiting and touring the area. John is currently employed, part time, by Perdue.

On one night each week this fall our Laurel Bulldog Varsity team members are treated to a pasta dinner following their practice session. The dinners, made by local folks and sponsored by the Bulldog Boosters, are brought and served to the boys at the Laurel Church of Christ Family Life Center’s new building on Central Avenue.

A “coupon night” is being held on Monday night, Nov. 9, from 5 to 8 p.m. at three PK locations, Laurel, Millsboro and Seaford. When you present a coupon at those locations, 10 percent of the total bill will be donated by PK to the Friends of the Laurel Library to benefit the Children’s Reading programs. Coupons may be picked up from any “Friend” member, or at the library.

The Laurel Garden Club members will meet at 1:45 p.m. on Nov. 8 at St Philip’s Church parish house on Central Avenue.

The featured speaker will be Floral Designer, Angie Rummel, who will demonstrate the “how to” on Thanksgiving arrangements. Guests are also more than welcome to come join this group.

It doesn’t sound much like Halloween fare but forgetting the candy - on Saturday night at Martin and Kim O’Neal’s “party barn” a group of friends gathered to “chow down” on fat, luscious Chesapeake blue crabs. Dave Oddo and John Ward took the trek that afternoon to Hooper’s Island

Historical Society makes appeal for downtown clock

To the Editor of the Laurel Star and the Laurel Mayor and Council Recently there has been much discussion about the sign/clock that is located at the Lions Club headquarters in downtown Laurel. At the October meeting of the Directors of the Laurel Historical Society we felt that since much of this discussion was centered on this “clock” being located in a Historical District that we, the Laurel Historical Society, should respond to this issue.

While this sign/clock is not 200 years old, it does represent a significant part of the lives of many long time Laurel residents. Many current residents can remember when it was a “modern marvel” first installed onto the corner of the Sussex Trust parking lot sometime in the early 1970s, spinning away, showing time on one side and temperature on the other. We can also remember that several years later it was remounted in a fixed position, probably to save energy and repair expenses.

After this move it operated as it does now or did, alternating between showing time and temperature.

Several years later one of the first big announcements made by Wilmington Trust, after their purchase of Sussex Trust, was that they would be doing away with the clock. Everyone was, at that time, saddened to hear this news. A move to decide how we could keep this clock abounded.

Lions Club to the rescue!

The Lions Club took the matter into their hands and went to all the trouble and expense to obtain and move the clock.

The efforts of the Lions Club are the only reason that today we still have a clock in downtown Laurel.

For many years there was a clock located on the Peoples/Farmers/Mellon Bank building. That clock has tragically been lost. For many years there was a clock located on the corner of Waller’s Men’s

Store. That clock is now gone. All of these clocks have played a role in the life and times of downtown Laurel and the lives of the people that frequented the downtown area.

At this time, the board of directors of the Laurel Historical Society would like to recommend to the Laurel Mayor and Council and the town manager that the town does whatever it takes to allow the Lions Club to repair or replace the clock/ sign with whichever current, 21st century model will most closely replace what is currently there.

We feel that something with time, temperature and even a rotating message board, not flashing, would definitely not be out of place in this area of town and would keep alive a many-years-old history of having a clock in downtown Laurel.

Keep up the good work!

How exciting to see the front page article regarding state and federal help to Laurel and its downtown area. This is good news since our downtown needs revitalizing! Now, let’s just hope SCOLDEM doesn’t get wind of this news; they seem to think we are “just fine the way we are.”

Truth is, downtown (and Laurel in general) is pretty much dead in the water.

Anything offered to continue the work the LRC has started will only benefit us. Wouldn’t it be nice to find what we

need here in town, without having to go to Salisbury or Seaford or beyond?

Keep up the good work!

Terrorism in rural Delmar

We need your help in getting the word out about the activities of now nearly a year in the Delmar area. I am a resident of 31 years on Pepperbox Road in Delmar.

About a year ago, a neighbor discovered a young man on their back deck at about 2 a.m. Ever since that time, for lack of better terms, our neighborhood has been terrorized by this person and another individual.

The State Police have been called more times than you want to know, and we have had as many as a dozen state, Delmar and Laurel town police and the state helicopter involved in apprehending these people.

The helicopter has been hovering over our homes at least four to five times. K9’s have been involved, but again no help.

They do not attempt to break-in, but will make noise, throw items against homes, bang their hands on our homes, write “I C U” on trees and cut screens.

They yell, “here we are, come and catch us.”

One neighbor has put out surveillance cameras and motion detectors, only to have them removed and left by their dog pen. Another neighbor was out this summer hanging clothes on the line and a voice came out of the woods at her, scaring her to death.

I could go on with many stories, even those about our own house. Our frustration as a community is unmeasurable. The State Police have been no help and we are lost about what to do. We have elderly widows living in the area that have stated that they have never been scared to live in their homes until now. As a community we have been together in the middle of the frozen night chasing these individuals through the woods, with no support from law enforcement.

Some have told us that we could right a movie script about what has happened. Just recently, one lady saw the individual in the early evening at her back window looking in, she was alone at the time. Later they went out to feed the dogs and a voice came from the woods, “here I am.”

The police have warned us about how we could be prosecuted if we were to harm these individuals, but what are we to do? Everyone is scared to go outside after

dark, and now even in the daytime. The one individual was just seen a few weeks ago in the late afternoon.

My personal opinion is that there is no difference in what these individuals are doing to our community than what the terrorists are doing to this country. Once they are ever caught, our biggest fear is that they will get their hands slapped and be let go, just to do it all over again.

We are at our wits end, and feel that we need to go public with this story to gain support in our efforts to apprehend these individuals.

This abandoned boat was left at Phillips Landing fishing area outside Laurel.

Who abandoned this boat?

This abandoned boat was left at Phillips Landing Fishing Area outside Laurel. This is wrong on every level. I challenge the people in the area to help pay for the cost of proper disposal.

We could hire Carey’s Towing to come and dispose of it properly.

There are fingerprints all over it so maybe DNREC/State Police should be involved.

Somebody, somewhere knows where this boat came from; it has been an eyesore in someone’s yard for a long time. I know someone’s neighbor is happy it has been removed and thinks it was taken to the landfill for proper disposal. Just look where it ended up.

It would appear that they backed up to the tree and pulled it off the trailer.

Final Word

Urgent need to find out reason for increase in autism I have two comments, one a bit tongue in cheek, the other more serious.

The Tina Fallon I was just wondering whether the Tina Fallon would be available for this year’s Christmas parade.

Concern about Autism I think, perhaps, that Daniel Richardson’s attention is misplaced as regards autism. Daniel has focused on those that claim that vaccines may be the cause of the increasing number of autistic children.

He has attacked those that questioned the potential interaction of the ingredients in the vaccines as potentially increasing the number of autistic children.

Two of the chemicals he has cited are known bad actors. According to the National Cancer Institute, formaldehyde has been classified as a known human carcinogen (it causes cancer). Aluminum ions in the brain have been connected with adverse impact on thought and reasoning processes.

But, beyond the question of “who shot whom” is the more serious subject of the increasing number of children believed to have some form of autism. A year or so ago, it was 1 in 166. Today it is 1 in 100.

Some argue that the number hasn’t really changed, but rather that we are in essence counting more closely, to those of which I have a ferry to sell.

But, regardless of who is right on this, 1 in 100 is a catastrophe of the first order.

The degree to which a child is affected by autism varies child to child and over time with a specific child.

I have a grandchild so affected and, with her mother’s diligent care, has improved tremendously over the years, hopefully to become a fully productive member of society. I can’t cite a specific fraction of those affected as eventually being unable to become practical, self-sustaining adults, but if the number is just 1 in 100 of those 1 in 100 so afflicted, that would eventually be 30,000 adults for which constant care would be needed.

If 10 in 100, that’s 300,000. This is really, really big and the cause of the increasing percentage of children with autism needs to be found — yesterday, if possible.

Now, whether there is involvement of ingredients in vaccines, I don’t know. But, I don’t like those that suggest it completely pooh-poohed as, quite frankly, I don’t think neither I nor Daniel has the scientific background to say one way or another.

Nor am I just ready to hand it over to the experts and some initial testing. I have lived long enough to have heard the medical profession completely flip-flop on its beliefs any number of times. Coffee is good for you, coffee is bad for you, and, of late, it is good for you.

A doctor I went to to see why I have been a bit lightheaded of late suggested I add a lot of salt to my diet, a really terrific recommendation when my blood pressure is already a bit on the high side. I guess he wants to knock me off early.

If I were to ask readers to share their stories of mis-diagnoses I think the letters would flood this newspaper. I have some great examples myself.

What needs to be done is to put as much pressure as possible on the medical profession to find out what is causing this epidemic of autistic children.

Saying that 1 in 100 or 1 in 166 are really the same numbers belies the real point: That’s an unacceptable number in either case. So, if the medical profession doesn’t like what some want to claim to be the culprit, then find out what is — yesterday, if possible.

The holidays are filled with sounds of children’s laughter, family voices, and friendly song.

Won’t it be good to hear them again?
