Seaford museum holds anniversary celebration

By Daniel Richardson

The Seaford museum opened its doors on October 12, 1997. The dream and ambition of several Seaford community members, the Seaford Museum celebrated its 10 years of service to the community one day after its birthday on Saturday, October 13.

Dave Webb had the idea for the museum in May of 1997. After a few phone calls to many members of the community, interest began to grow for the idea and 5 months later the museum opened its doors.

The museum was originally located in the building that Webb

owned on New Street. In 2000, the Seaford Historical Society purchased the old Seaford Post Office and converted it to what is now the Seaford Museum.

The Seaford Historical Society celebrated the 10 year anniversary with a dinner and auction at the Seaford Golf and Country Club.

Many businesses around Seaford and some outside of the community donated goods and services to the Historical Society for auction.

A silent auction and live auction were held. The historical society estimates that the event raised $12,000 for the museum.

Police station may get expansion

By Lynn R. Parks Seaford’s 30-year-old police station could be getting an upgrade, to the tune of $1 million.

The Seaford City Council Tuesday night agreed by unanimous vote to a suggestion by city manager Dolores Slatcher that the city request bids from architectural firms to design a 40-foot by 60-foot addition to the station.

The expansion would give the station room to house new radio equipment. It would also give the department the room it needs to grow for the next 15 to 20 years.

Slatcher estimated the cost of the expansion at “close to $1 million.” The city would borrow the money for the project.

Slatcher said that the station’s communications room has to be expanded in order to accommodate the new radio equipment, which the state will give the city before the end of next spring. “You have to enlarge the [communications] room whether you like it or not,” she said.

That expansion could be accomplished

in the existing station, Slatcher said. “It would be very tight, but I’m not saying it can’t be done,” she said.

But simply expanding the room without adding to the building would crowd the building and would hinder operations at the department, she added. “The officers would constantly be on top of each other,” she said.

Rather, the city could opt for what Slatcher called a “holistic approach,” expanding the communications room and at the same time creating room for more offices, a new conference room and more storage space.

“We thought about what it would take to accommodate the department for the next 15 to 20 years, to make it fully functional and so we don’t have to come back to city council,” Slatcher said. “We thought we could look at the whole department, instead of doing things part and parcel.”

The city council will have to vote on accepting any bid from an architectural firm. It will also have to approve any construction contract.

Dedication to be held Saturday A Delaware historic marker will be placed on High Street at the railroad bridge to commemorate the opening of the railroad and its significance to the prosperity of Seaford on Oct. 27 at 11 a.m.

C. Russell McCabe, director of the Delaware Public Archives, will host this event. Funds for the marker were provided by previous State Representative, Tina Fallon, during her tenure.

The Delaware Railroad was formally opened on Dec. 11, 1856 from New Castle to Seaford. Over one thousand locals gathered to celebrate the arrival of the Iron Horse during a windy rainstorm.

Most of the 800 that arrived by train remained in the cars, including Governor Causey, Ex-Governor William H. H. Ross

of Seaford; and Delaware Railroad President Samuel M. Harrington.

The meeting was held aboard the train where many congratulatory speeches were given and a feast was provided in the small engine house. The Seaford Museum, located two blocks east of this event, will be open after the dedication.

A model layout of Seaford’s railroad center is displayed as an integral part of our rich history.

Currently, there is a new Concord exhibit by Kurt Brown and a collection of Seaford telephone directories illustrated

by Mildred Fager of the Acorn Club.

Admission is free for Seaford Historical Society members and $3 for non-members.

A state historic marker will commemorate the opening of the railroad in Seaford.

This photo of the Seaford Railroad Depot was taken over 100 years ago.

Nanticoke closing Positive Steps exercise facility

By Lynn R. Parks After Norma Lee Temple suffered a heart attack, her cardiologist recommended that she start going to Positive Steps, the exercise facility operated by Nanticoke Health Services, Seaford. She followed his advice and when she returned to him for a checkup, “he was absolutely amazed at what this facility had done for me,” said Temple.

That was 11 years ago. Temple, 73, Seaford, has been attending Positive Steps since.

Similarly, Lee Riggin, Laurel, started going to Positive Steps four years ago after undergoing bypass surgery. Three times a week, he does an hour of exercise.

But this will be the last week at Positive Steps for Temple and for Riggin. Effective Friday, Nanticoke Health Services, which also operates Nanticoke Memorial Hospital, is closing the place down.

“I am appalled to think that the hospital would close this facility,” said Temple, who has been a hospital volunteer for 48 years. “This was a wonderful service to the community and now they have taken that away. And why? Because of money.”

Spokesman Tom Brown acknowledged that closing Positive Steps was a financial decision for Nanticoke, which last year, for the first time in more than 25 years, posted a loss.

“We were losing a considerable amount of money” with Positive Steps, Brown said. “It was taking health-care dollars out of the budget, money that would be better spent on medical equipment and doctors.”

Brown said that closing Positive Steps is part of Nanticoke’s overall review of its services and facilities. “We are assessing a lot of the buildings we have and determining if their mission is critical,” he said.

“I’m sure there will be other changes coming.”

Positive Steps is located in the former Miller Furniture building, facing Water Street. The two other programs in that building, a Veterans Administration clinic and a clinic operated by the Alfred I. DuPont Hospital for Children, are both planning to move out. With Positive Steps closed, that will leave the building empty.

Brown said that Nanticoke has no plans for the building. “It could be useful in the future, or may not be,” he said. “It is not very good clinical space. We are weighing different options.”

He added that to his knowledge, Nanticoke has not received any offers on the

building. The facility is across the street from riverfront property that is slated for development of a private, gated community. Plans for Riverplace Condominiums, which will include 48 living units, 25 boat slips and a boardwalk along the river, were approved by the Seaford City Council in April.

A shortsighted decision “Positive Steps was a good community service,” Brown said. “But we are faced with some hard choices about our health care dollars.”

But many people who attend Positive Steps say that the decision will cost Nanticoke in the long run. “This is really shortsighted on the hospital’s part,” said Carol Lynch, a certified fitness instructor who often referred people to Positive Steps.

“This is going to cost the hospital more in health-care dollars. People are going to have health issues and the care they need is going to grow.”

The hospital has arranged for the nearly 500 people who are attending Positive Steps to go to Powerhouse, a commercial gym with facilities in Seaford, Salisbury, Md., and Cambridge, Md. People who sign a year-long contract with Powerhouse will “pay pretty much what they are paying at Positive Steps,” said gym owner Tony Taghipour. People attending Positive Steps pay from $18 a month for hospital employees to $35 a month for non-employees.

But some who attend Positive Steps are unwilling to sign a contract with the gym.

“At my age, I don’t want to sign a contract for a year,” said Ronald Coulbourne, 74, Seaford, a diabetic who visits Positive Steps regularly.

“They wanted all my bank account information before I signed the contract,” added Marty Stankiewicz, 70, Seaford, who also exercises at Positive Steps regularly. “They are not going to get that from me.”

And many Positive Steps members fear that exercising at Powerhouse just won’t be the same.

“People of all ages and fitness levels can come to Positive Steps and feel comfortable,” said Lynch. “I’m afraid that now, they will walk into Powerhouse, get an up and down look from someone in there and walk right back out.”

“Positive Steps has been ideal for us old-timers,” added Wendell Combs, 82, Bridgeville. “I’m going to go to Powerhouse. But I just don’t know whether I

“Lookin’ Good”

will like it or not.”

Richard Livingston, 85, Seaford, has been going to Positive Steps since 2000, when it was recommended to him by his cardiologist. He and his wife, Shirley, visit the facility three times a week and exercise for 40 minutes, he on the treadmill, rowing machine and stationary bicycle, and she on the treadmill and the windjammer, an arm exerciser.

“I suspect that I feel better as a result of

it,” Livingston said.

When Positive Steps closes, they will no longer go to an exercise facility.

Powerhouse, which they would have to drive across busy U.S. 13 to reach, “just doesn’t attract me at all,” Livingston said.

Livingston said that instead of his gym exercise, he and his wife will take walks.

MORNING STAR • OCTOBER 18 - 24, 2007

Meet Your Fire Service Volunteers Laurel Auxiliary member inducted into Hall of Fame The Seaford and Laurel Star newspapers continue their series of articles highlighting the men and women who serve as volunteers in the local fire departments.

These volunteers work tirelessly providing protection and responding in time of need.

We hope the series helps to show our respect for their efforts as we increase community awareness of their sacrifices.

By Donna Dukes-Huston Last month, Dixie Northam was inducted as the Sussex County representative for the Ladies Auxiliary of the Delaware Volunteer Fireman’s Association’s Hall of Fame. Northam has been a member of Laurel’s auxiliary for the past 38 years.

Northam joined the auxiliary when her late husband, Jack, decided to join the fire department in 1968.

“At that time, whenever a fireman joined, his wife was automatically a member of the auxiliary,” Northam said.

The auxiliary proved to be a good social outlet for Northam, who had moved to Laurel from the Western Shore only a few years earlier when she and Jack got married.

“It really helped me to meet people and make friends since I was new to the area,”

Northam said.

Today, banquets still serve as the primary fundraiser for the auxiliary. They also assist the firefighters with special events that they sponsor, including a recent Texas Hold ‘Em tournament.

Northam was instrumental in adding another fundraiser that has become an annual tradition in Laurel. Just over thirty years ago, Northam and Eleanor Elliott made Easter eggs for a bake sale the auxiliary hosted. They were so popular there, they decided to sell the eggs every year.

“This has grown considerably over the years,” Northam said. “Last year, we sold over 4,000 eggs.”

Northam said that each year the 15-20 member committee spends Friday night, Saturday and Sunday making all the eggs.

The auxiliary is also on call to feed the firefighters when disaster strikes or a major fire occurs. Northam remembers one fire in particular.

“Years ago the Laurel Hotel and the Silco building burned,” Northam recalled.

“We had served a banquet earlier that night but we came back in to feed the firemen.”

Dixie Northam, a member of the Laurel Ladies Auxiliary for the past 38 years, was recently inducted as the Sussex County representative for the Ladies Auxiliary of the Delaware Volunteer Fireman’s Association’s Hall of Fame.

used to open the store in the middle of the night so that the ladies could stock up for their emergency, according to Northam.

Over the years, the fire house has always had a family atmosphere, Northam said.

“Lots of children grow up at the fire house,” she said. “It plays a major part in their lives.”

Northam’s own daughter, Stacy Northam-Smith, is also involved in the auxiliary and recently finished a term as president of the Sussex County Ladies’ Auxiliary. Northam has enjoyed sharing this experience with her daughter.

Although Laurel’s membership has grown in the past five years, Northam would like to see the auxiliary open its membership. Currently, the requirements for membership are that the lady must be a spouse or family member of a firefighter and she must live in the fire district.

In addition to the countless hours she has spent with the auxiliary, Northam has also worked at Nanticoke Memorial Hospital in medical records for 43 years. She plans to retire in the next couple of years.

Northam values the time she has been able to serve in the auxiliary. “It has meant a lot to me to be able to provide support to the department and the community,” Northam said. “The fire department is a true family - local, county and state.”

with a built-in seat and brakes,” he said. “I will walk around the block with my wife and that will take about the same period of time that I spent on the treadmill.

We will try to do it every day.”

And when it is rainy, or cold?

“There is quite a lot of room in the house where I can walk around,” he said.

Livingston admitted that he will miss the people at Positive Steps. “There were a number of friendships that I had there, and a feeling a camaraderie that we will miss,” he said.

“There are a lot of social relationships there,” said Keith Phillips, Laurel, who goes to Positive Steps regularly. “But beyond that, people feel comfortable there. I’m afraid that people who need an exercise program are not going to be served.”

Good results at Positive Steps Riggin said that he is going to try Powerhouse. “But I’m afraid I won’t get the same results I’ve gotten here,” he said.

Around the first of the year, Nanticoke bought a lot of new equipment for Positive Steps, he said. Some of the new equipment is still in the boxes in which it came.

“We don’t understand why they would spend money in here and then close it down,” Riggin said.

Hospital spokesman Brown said that the decision to close Positive Steps was made after the new equipment was bought. “We will be able to sell some of the equipment, and return some other pieces,” he said.

In addition to the new equipment, the staff contributed to his success at Positive Steps, Riggin said.

“This is a very comfortable place to work out,” said Yancy Hillegas, Bethel, who visits the gym regularly with her husband, Dave.

“We went out of our way to make people feel at home here,” said Kathy Cordrey, fitness technician. “People have done well here. This decision is all about money. It’s not about health.”

Lynch agreed. And she added that her father-in-law, the late Dr. John C. Lynch, a founder of the hospital and a member of Nanticoke’s Physician’s Hall of Fame, would agree.

“My father-in-law is turning over in his grave,” said Lynch, her voice trembling. “He was all about caring for people, and this decision has nothing to do with

caring for people.”

“I have supported every funddrive the hospital has had since I moved to Seaford in 1962,” said Lou Everline, 67, a member of Positive Steps.

“Every fund drive they have brought out, I have supported.

And now, this. It seems that they could not care less about people like us.”

State Police locate missing Laurel boy at friend’s home On Oct. 11, at 9:35 p.m. state troopers from Troop Five responded to Dillards Rd. in Laurel to investigate a report of a missing child. Upon arrival, investigators contacted the parents of a nine-year-old Laurel boy who was reported missing after leaving their home on his bike earlier that evening.

The boy’s parents called police after they searched their neighborhood for approximately two hours and were unable to locate the boy.

During the investigation, troopers were assisted by a state police helicopter, a state police canine unit and criminal investi-

gators from Troop Four in Georgetown. The Laurel Volunteer Fire Company also assisted with the search.

While searching the area, detectives utilized the reverse 911 call system to contact nearby residents who may have seen the boy. The boy was located at 2 a.m. at a friend's home located at the 10000 block of Waller Rd. in Laurel.

Detectives determined that the boy voluntarily left his house and went to a friend’s house without telling his parents. The boy, who attends Laurel Elementary School, was found in good health and turned over to his parents.

Heart Walk raised $130,000 for AHA

By Carol Kinsley Some 700 participants raised $130,000 at the Heart Walk held Saturday, Oct. 6, at Del Tech’s Owens campus in Georgetown.

Twice around the perimeter of the campus is 5K or about 3.2 miles.

This is the 15th year that there has been a heart walk; however, the old American Heart Association (AHA) program ceased to exist this year, explained John Hollis, co-chairman with Jeff Banning of Trinity Transport of the Heart Walk held in Sussex County.

This year the AHA is promoting a new program called Start! which begins with a national challenge to walk a total of one million miles at AHA Start! Heart Walks this fall.

The 5K walk in Georgetown was the third and final one scheduled in Delaware.

With Start!, AHA encourages businesses and community organizations to facilitate physical activity and good nutrition not just one day but year round, Hollis said.

Trinity Transport, Hollis said, has taken the concept to heart. Employees have logged 10,000 miles since the program was launched and the Seaford-based corporation was recognized in the Wall Street Journal as a Gold Level company.

Awarded twice per year, gold-level recognition is for companies that fulfill

criteria such as offering employees physical activity support, increasing healthy eating options at work, promoting a wellness culture, as well as implementing at least six of the physical activities, two of the nutrition activities and one of the culture activities listed in the Start! application form.

Jeff Banning, CEO at Trinity, said modestly after receiving an award at the Heart Walk, “It’s them, the employees, not me.

They’re an amazing group!”

Employees are not coerced, but have the opportunity, Banning explained, to use an exercise room and participate in “lunch and learn” sessions.

A lunch wagon brings salads and fresh vegetables to the office.

Hollis said Nemours is involved in the Start! program because it dovetails with the effort to “Make Delaware Kids the Healthiest in the Nation,” along with the “5-2-1 Almost None” campaign.

He cited statistics that show “screen time is monstrous,” more than four hours on average.

“We’re asking parents to serve as a model for their kids. If parents trade time in front of the screen for physical activity, we can beat this,” he said, quoting the Centers for Disease Control calling obesity the most serious health epidemic this nation has ever faced.

There were plenty of kids on hand for

(MS) - With the deer population increasing across the country, and living space for wildlife on the decline, the number of incidents involving a deer jumping into the path of a car has been steadily on the rise. This is especially true from October through December when male deer activity dramatically increases, resulting in a significant rise in the number of vehicular collisions.

A deer can literally come out of nowhere, leaving only seconds to react. Even worse, the collision can result in significant property damage and even life-threatening situations.

To stay safe, consider the following: • Watch the clock. Deer are most active from sunset to midnight, and during the hours just before and after sunrise, which are feeding times.

• Watch your speed. It’s not just the speed of the animal that plays a factor - it’s the speed of the vehicle. Think about it: if you are driving your vehicle at a speed of over 60 miles per hour, you’ll cover the length of a football field in the same time it takes to change a CD. • Keep your eyes open . Deer don’t run alone. If you see one, there are likely others nearby.

• Don’t swerve. If a deer is suddenly in front of you, sound your horn to frighten it away.

Break firmly, but stay in your lane. Serious crashes happen when drivers swerve to avoid a deer, only to hit other vehicles or lose control of their cars.

• Wear your seatbelt. Most people injured in deer/car crashes were unbuckled at the time.

After the storm was over, the delays began Story by Anne Wilmer Photos by Daniel Richardson Although Galestown residents have been the most vocal, residents in two Dorchester councilmanic districts have been coping with detours and delays for 15 months. Even a trip to the mailbox can be a daring undertaking for some county residents.

If your daily routine doesn’t take you by way of Whitely, River or Cokesbury Roads, or across the Galestown Millpond Dam or by way of Palmer’s Mill Road, but you’d like to get an idea of what these folks are up against, visit delmarvahighways.com/flood.htm. Except for the water, very little has changed since these photos were taken.

Any undertaking that requires local, state and federal governments to work together is bound to be fraught with some difficulty, but most residents and their county council representatives suggest that, after 15 months, they have been more than patient.

Councilman Rick Price said that the hold up now is obtaining permit approvals from the Maryland Department of the Environment and some rights-of-way. He sees the results of the delay everyday. But at least some permits have been issued.

Since last year, Price said that they have been “going through a process of working with MDE and FEMA and trying to get permits. We have FEMA money and design approval,” he said, we are waiting for permits.

FEMA has signed off on most everything.

Even the contracts have been awarded. But, so far, not a shovel of dirt has been turned.

“All walks of life are affected by this,” Price said. “We need to do better with this situation.”

In Councilman Price’s district, there remain four areas damaged by the June 2006 storm including two cuts on Palmer’s Mill Road as well as washouts on River Road and Whitely Road. Although his residence was not directly impacted, he said he talks often with constituents whose daily life has been severely impacted.

“It’s a high priority for me to do everything I can to speed this along,” said Price who added that he is open to any and every suggestion that might help to get this done. Price added that there were several repairs that he thought could be made to roads that farmers needed.

“It hasn’t been easy for us but we’ve tried to be patient with the county because they’ve never had that kind of damage before,” said Hurlock Postmaster Joe Turner. Hurlock Post Office, which serves Palmer Mill Road, has had to reroute rural mail carriers for over a year now but Turner said, proudly, “no postal customer has missed their mail.” The detours add six miles a day to the carrier’s route.

One of the problems may be that the folks who are responsible for correcting the flood damage are not inconvenienced by it.

Robert Ballinger, spokesperson for MDE said that his agency doesn’t rush permits where wetlands are concerned unless it is a public health issue. “We don’t put a time frame on permits and ask for people to understand that we are doing everything necessary to comply with the law.”

Ballinger’s office was asked to provide the Star an accounting of MDE’s progress on the projects requiring their approval; that normally it takes 30 days to respond to such requests for information so only a few of the projects are updated as of this writing.

The original timeline for the construction company from the county says that, in 130 days, the roadway will be at partial completion and the millpond will be “ready to fill.”

But the bid documents also specify that MDE has to inspect the work before the pond is refilled. Linda Walls, president of the Galestown Millpond Association said that members are “concerned that this will be another delay phase while waiting for MDE to inspect and issue the okay.”

Councilwoman Effie Elzey said that the council had sent a letter to MDE Secretary Shari T. Wilson asking for prompt action. She expressed frustration that she said was shared by the entire council. That frustration is clearly shared by those affected and those who serve them, yet most county residents directly affected by the washouts are loath to complain publicly. But there are signs that their reticence is near an end.

Squeaky wheel gets the grease Elzey and others have said that the Galestown repair work is further along toward an actual starting date than any of the other pending projects precisely because the residents have been vocal. But some Galestown residents have given up. Linda Walls said that a recent meeting of the Galestown Millpond Association dissolved into finger-pointing and charges that the association had been ineffective in expediting construction. She shares her neighbor’s frustration.

Maybe they have not been vocal enough.

A dry hole in the ground where a pond once was is not the only problem facing Galestown but some local residents, who complain to one another are unwilling to go on the record with their complaints.

“We’ve got a department head who’s saying that there still has to be ‘definitions’ done with Maryland Dept of Environment. People need to be in there chomping at the bit every week,” Elzey said.

Walls said that the association tried to anticipate problems and convey our concerns to the County Council so delays could be prevented. “We offered one suggestion after another to the council, often with no response.

“From day one, we asked for periodic collaborative multi-level government meetings with all partners present to promote proactive collaboration and avoid the blame game, but this never happened,” she said.

“We asked for the flood debris to be removed and the utility lines addressed in advance to no avail. The County Council did act on our suggestion to release the bid package in advance of final FEMA approval, but the approval came through three days before the package was scheduled for release,” she said.

“Talking about doing, and acting on it are two different things. I am deeply disappointed that the council seems unable to take decisive control. Now we will not have our roadway and millpond back until the spring, at the earliest,” Walls said, adding that if the pond is not refilled until AFTER the spring plant, residents worry what will it be like when everything is dying in the water.”

Problems started upstream So far, they haven’t raised cane, but Rhodesdale residents have been seriously inconvenienced, too. Cokesbury Road is an important route, and a long one connecting Maryland and Delaware. Customers who live along it get their mail delivered either from Seaford, DE or Rhodesdale, MD. The road was washed out at the southern end of Wright’s Millpond.

“I have several Maryland customers who had relocated their mailboxes prior to the storm to get Rhodesdale delivery instead of Seaford Delivery,” said Rhodesdale Postmaster Janet English. “Now those folks have to go around the storm damage to get their mail or to get to work.”

English, who lives on Marshyhope Creek, recalls the flood vividly, describing the floating islands she and others saw floating down the river. “The river usually appears dark, a blackish-blue, but after the storm it was a golden brown from all the clay it was carrying. That clay came from somewhere.”

English said that Indiantown and Puckum Roads, which run near or across small streams, were repaired within three months.

Storm damage that involved a bridge – a common feature in a county that is more water than land – is still awaiting repair in most cases but, on Puckum Road, the bridge and a road that connected to private residences that was repaired quickly.

“I live on Sharptown Road and go to church at Reliance. For over a year, I’ve traveled a longer detour route,” said English. A bridge and culvert along Newhart Mill Road was damaged and closed but it has been repaired and reopened. “If they hadn’t fixed Newhart Mill, people in this area would have had to go to Seaford by way of Finchville.”

Cokesbury Road, which parallels Wrights Millpond Branch southwest until it turns west below Wright’s Millpond was not designated as a “dam road” until recently. That must be one of the “definitions” Elzey has learned that some MDE is still working out.

Elzey, who answers to constituents coping with the loss of Galestown Millpond Road and Cokesbury Road, said that MDE’s designation of Cokesbury Road as a dam road will add to the time – and $200K to the cost – needed to put it back into service.

It’s a sad situation that Dorchester County, largest county on the shore area-wise has such a poor record for getting things done,” said English.

Down on the farm American agriculture, under assault from a prolonged regional drought, difficulty in obtaining labor to harvest crops and a commodities market that can affect prices of the crops they bring to market have been through two harvests and one planting season that involved coping with detours that added to production costs as they move farming equipment to their fields.

Cathy Scott, whose family farm lies on both sides of “the hole,” said that a farm property that used to be less than one-quarter mile away from their headquarters is now six miles away and they have to take their heavy equipment out onto a major road now. They live and store their equipment on the Reliance side of the hole but the rest of their farm property is on El Dorado side of the road.

She said that they lost one crop of watermelons on the day of the flood. Too much water caused them to rot in the fields. But she is philosophical about that, pointing out that it’s not often that you get a deluge like they did in June 2006. But after 15 months, even those who regularly cope with vagaries of nature are

weary of this one.

“Every time we turn around they’re giving us some kind of stupid excuse,” she said. If it wasn’t such a major inconvenience then it might be amusing that they have just figured out that they just figured out there’s a dam at the southern end of Wrights Millpond. Cokesbury Road doesn’t actually cross Wright’s Millpond. In fact, the pond – and the leaky dam – is still there.

Scott said that the dam had been neglected work for years. Some years ago a spillway was installed to accommodate the occasional overflow. When the area got 17 inches of rain in less than two hours, it not only overflowed; it washed out the roadway.

Anyone who raises chickens knows that modern poultry operations require electric service and access for tractor-trailers. The lights went out during the storm as well as the alarm system that is connected by telephone lines to their house.

Verizon did a makeshift job of reconnecting everyone to get service restored right away. They ran the lines across the top of the chicken house and over the lane that leads to the house. Every time, tractor-trailer drivers traveling on Cokesbury Road found themselves faced with “the hole,” they backed into the Scott’s lane to turn around, cutting the phone lines. It took six months of calling the phone company almost daily to get it corrected.

Scott’s daughter drove to school instead of taking a school bus ride home that could take an hour in order to get home in time to help her parents with the chickens. After the flood, the school bus could not get to their lane anyway and “the hole” added 10 miles a day to her daughter’s commute all throughout her senior year – and that was when gas was $3 a gallon.

“A lot of our neighbors have mailboxes that require 6-mile trip by car to get to the mail box,” Scott said. That’s a minor inconvenience compared to those who have to travel six or more miles at 2 a.m. to monitor irrigation running in their fields.

“It’s peaceful and quiet right now, but having to run back and forth when we are running irrigation made us decide against irrigation on one farm this year,” she said. “We have three farms but are now tilling only two because of the time and gas to go back and forth.”

When the work begins to repair Cokesbury Road, that will inconvenience the Scotts, too, because “the hole” fronts on their property.

Heavy equipment moving in and out of their lane may well cause problems with their chicken houses because the lane has to be kept open and electric has to remain on for the chickens. But they signed the right-of-way agreement to allow the county to send contractors onto their property to make the repairs.

cian, passed away in 1970 when her youngest child was only 9-years- old.

Appropriately, she was given the honor of Delaware Mother of the Year in 1984.

Two of her children chose medicine as their profession. Her daughter Patti is a nursing anesthetist and son Richard is an orthopedist. Her 19 grandchildren are living all over the U.S. As a member of Soroptimist International of Seaford, “Dr. Judy” is an inspiration and mentor to women of all ages. She is a role model for women who wish to enter traditionally unconventional fields for women.

She is an excellent mentor for young women who are considering professions in the medical field. She has demonstrated great caring and compassion and gives unselfishly of her time and talents.

Community service award

Dick Collison is the recipient of the annual John A., Jr. and Helen M. Moore Community Service Award.

This award was established in 1987.

John Moore was a local businessman and developer for many years. Each year, the Moore family honors an individual who has performed outstanding volunteer service to the Seaford area community for several years.

Most people know Dick Collison through his barber shop in downtown Seaford, at the Seaford Volunteer Fire Department, or his involvement with the Downtown Seaford Association. Some have even had the privilege to know him and his inspirational attitude while battling three unrelated cancers.

Dick's upbeat visits with others who suffer through a terminal illness show his quiet and compassionate side. Dick’s wife Shirley has been at his side for fifty years.

Dick was raised in the Greenwood area and, after graduating from high school, went on to Salisbury Barber School where he graduated in 1957. Dick started his barber career at Dove’s Barber and Smoke Shop and went on to open his own shop in 1996, where he still plies his trade.

Dick was one of the founders of the Downtown Seaford Association in the early 1980’s. He served two terms as president and chaired the Christmas Parade for four years. He still works on both the Halloween and the Christmas parades every year and is an active member in the Association.

Dick sang barbershop style for more than 30 years with the Chorus of the Nanticoke and sang in the Mt. Olivet choir for nearly forty years. He has been a member of Mt. Olivet Church since 1961 and served as assistant sunday school superintendent from 1963 to 1965. In early 2001, Dick underwent a laryngectomy due to cancer of the larynx that ended his singing career but not his love of music.

Dick joined the Seaford Jaycees in 1959 and was awarded Outstanding Jaycee of the Year in 1965. He was recognized for his community service in 2003 as the recipient of the Seaford Elks Distinguished Citizen Award. Dick received an Exceptional Customer Service Award from the Greater Seaford Chamber of Commerce earlier this year.

Dick started directing traffic at the intersection of High and Cannon Sts. in 1959 during the sounding of the fire siren.

He joined the Seaford Volunteer Fire Department in 1965, becoming a volunteer fireman and ambulance attendant. He was honored as Fireman of the Year in 1980 and became a lifetime member with 25 years of service in 1990.

Dick still drops his clippers and comb whenever the fire alarm sounds and, donning his bright vest, stops traffic on High St. while directing outgoing emergency vehicles.

Dick has devoted countless hours in service to his community and has never before received recognition for his efforts.

He is a most deserving recipient of the John A., Jr. and Helen M. Moore Community Service Award.

He will receive this honor at the Greater Seaford Chamber of Commerce Fall Dinner and Awards Ceremony on Oct. 25 at the Seaford Fire Hall. For more information, contact the Chamber office at 629-9690.

Business Persons of the Year

Beginning in 1995, The Greater Seaford Chamber of Commerce has honored outstanding member businesses.

This year’s honorees for the Business Persons of the Year awards are Dr. Russell H. Knorr, superintendent of the Seaford School District in the category of 26 or more employees, and Bryant L. Richardson of Morning Star Publications in the category of 25 or fewer employees.

Dr. Russell H. Knorr “Keep the main thing the main thing” is Dr. Russell H. Knorr’s philosophy for the Seaford School District. By remembering that teaching and learning are the bedrock for the schools in the district, the business of running the district can be built on a solid foundation. In Seaford, innovation and fiscal responsibility go hand in hand.

Dr. Knorr helped obtain community support for the passage of twelve out of fourteen referendums to increase revenues and to expand and renovate the schools during his tenure as superintendent.

Russ earned a Bathelor of Science degree from Penn State University, his Masters degree from Villanova University, and his doctorate degree from Lehigh University. He taught 7th and 8th grades and coached baseball in the Great Valley School District in Pennsylvania for eleven years and was Assistant Principal for the Northern Chester County Vocational Technical School for fourteen months before becoming the principal for Seaford Senior High School in 1979. In 1983, Russ was promoted to Seaford Superintendent of Schools. He has held the position of superintendent of schools longer than anyone else in the State of Delaware.

Seaford School District has accomplished much under the leadership of Dr. Knorr. Since 1983, he has implemented the reorganization of the district’s elementary schools to four K-5 schools, thereby reducing the number of transitions students had to make. Russ introduced the “balanced calendar” (or year-round) school concept, leading Central Elementary School to be the first such school in Delaware. He increased access to technology for students and teachers, including computers in classrooms, laptops with Internet capability, handheld computers, multi-media teaching carts – each of which has a computer, a document camera, and a projection system. Russ implemented the full-day kindergarten. He inspired the use of Rosetta Stone software to introduce three new world language offerings at the high school [Arabic, Chinese and Japanese] as well as to help non-English

speaking students learn English. Russ led the district’s strategic planning process in 1990-91 that involved staff, parents, students, and Board members, resulting in a consensus on a set of governing values, a mission statement and a long-range strategic plan. And this last year, all of the district’s elementary schools and the middle school met annual yearly progress.

The district won the coveted Superstars in Education award from the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce in 2007 for the District’s Secondary Schools Advanced Placement Incentive Program” in the Seaford Senior High School and Seaford Middle School, Seaford. This program was designed to increase participation and the diversity of students in Advanced Placement (AP) classes at the High School level, as well as increase grades on the Advanced Placement Tests. The schools identify students who have potential to take these courses, offer preview mathematics courses to prepare students for the AP courses, provide access to a summer reading program and encourage parental involvement in choosing classes.

The school district has been in the “Energy Star” program since 2005 and all six schools in the district have qualified to receive the Energy Star building label.

And this year, the district was awarded the Energy Star Partner of the Year award in energy management.

Russ Knorr is married to Loretta and they have a son, Matthew, who is a West Point graduate serving with the U.S. Army in Kuwait and married to Marie. Their daughter Sarah has two children Brendan and Evan. And Russ is, in his own words, a “die-hard” Philadelphia sports fan.

Russ has garnered numerous honors over the years, including selection to the Abe Lincoln High School wall of fame and the General Wayne Middle School wall of fame. He has been twice chosen by his peers [other superintendents] to serve as President of the Delaware Chief School Officers’ Association.

Russ was also chosen to serve as Chairperson of the Delaware Secondary School Athletic Association and the President of the Delaware Association of School Administrators [DASA]. He was twice selected as Delaware’s Superintendent of the Year [1990 and 2001] and selected as the National Association of Educational Professionals as the National Administrator of the year in 1999.

Russ believes in management of change, which is something all school districts face. For example, in the past three years the school district has four new principals, four new associate principals, and new directors for business, elementary education and special education.

In addition the district faces challenges in special education, English as a Second Language [ESL] students, and a growing ethnic population. Russ has guided the school district for more than twenty-four years and is obviously up to meeting the challenges.

Bryant L. Richardson Building a new business is never easy, especially when during the first year you donate $2 of each paid subscription to local charities. The Western Sussex Boys & Girls Club, Laurel Good Samaritans and Laurel Little League all benefited from the “give-back.” But that is the basis of Bryant and Carol Richardson’s philosophy – to give back to the community because they believe that good, strong organizations make for good, strong communities.

Bryant began his newspaper career working for the Seaford Leader in 1972.

He moved up on the organization to news

editor, managing editor and general manager before leaving in 1984, when Bryant and Carol started their own newspaper, the Seaford Banner. After four and a half years, they sold the Banner to Chesapeake Publishing and Bryant went to work for them as general manager. In April 1996 Bryant and Carol, Bryant's sister, Jo Ann Sullivan, along with Tina Reaser and Tony Windsor, launched Morning Star Publications, Inc. and the Seaford Star. Shortly thereafter, Rita Brex and Pat Murphy joined the company. Four months later the Laurel Star was started. Just over a year later, they began publishing the Morning Star Business Report.

Morning Star Publications also publishes the Business Journal for the Salisbury, Md., Chamber of Commerce, the Salisbury Magazine, an annual publication for the Salisbury Chamber, the Greater Seaford Chamber of Commerce Visitor’s Guide and Membership Directory, the Laurel Chamber of Commerce magazine, and numerous special interest publications.

The business had sales of $1.2 million in 2006 and has grown to 12 full time employees and many “stringers” or writers. The "Stars" are paid subscription publications in Seaford and Laurel with a circulation of more than 6,600.

In just over 10 years, Bryant and Carol have accomplished everything in their original business plan. They will continue to serve the local communities and improve employee compensation packages to attract good people.

Bryant and Carol are now working on plans for electronic publishing and aim to have a full-service, full-time information center online. Morning Star Publications now has websites for the Seaford Star, Laurel Star and the Business Report and plans to add three more websites in the next year. They feel this is a natural progression for the business and find it very exciting.

Bryant and Carol are natives of Delmarva. Bryant was born in Federalsburg, Md., and graduated from Colonel Richardson High School. His higher education consists of courses at Delaware Tech and numerous workshops and seminars. Carol graduated from Mardela High School.

Bryant married Carol Wright in 1967 and they have three children. Daughter Leanne is married to Hugh Mohler II and they have three children, Hannah, Hugh III and Henry, and resides in Towson, Md. Son Bryant Paul married April Durham in 2006 and resides in Virginia Beach, and son Daniel married Cassie Kraemer in January 2007 and resides in Seaford. Daniel and Cassie work for Morning Star Publications.

Bryant is a past president of the Greater Seaford Chamber of Commerce, chaired the Business Development Committee for many years, and received the Volunteer of the Year award in 2006. He is a former Little League baseball umpire and former board member of WOLC Christian Radio Station.

Bryant is a past president and active member of the Seaford Kiwanis. He was the first recipient of the “Roaring Lion” award given by the Sammons family of WXPZ Christian Radio Station. Bryant was named Editor of the Year by Chesapeake Publishing and also garnered the SBA’s 2000 Journalist Advocate award.

Carol is a past member of the Business & Professional Women's organization.

Spirit of the Community Award winners are Edward J Kaye of Edward J. Kaye Construction, Inc., and Charlie Towers of Towers Signs LLC. Volunteer of the Year is Dick Wolfe.

Conference will address affordable housing issues and jobs for Sussex County

By Frank B. Calio Back in the ‘80’s the term “affordable housing” applied to most everyone; it meant anyone with reasonable credit could purchase a modest home.

Today, an affordable home is beyond reach for a great number of Sussex County residents. The issue of housing and the future of jobs will be addressed at the annual Sussex County Today and Tomorrow Conference, Wednesday, Oct. 31, at Delaware Tech-

nical & Community College, Owens Campus. Although Sussex County is the fastest growing county in the state, wages and benefits have not kept up with the rapid cost of housing. While housing in Sussex has skyrocketed,to the average cost of $250,000 the average wage in the county has maintained a level of $50,000 since 2000, increasing to $55,000 in the past two years.

However, Sussex Countians wanting to purchase a median home at $260,000 with a $55,000 annual income would only qualify

for a mortgage of $164,791 leaving a prospective buyer almost a $100,000 negative affordable gap.

Hospital officials at Beebe Medical Center in Lewes state the higher cost of homes in their area is hampering their recruitment efforts. Milford Housing Development offers a small ray of hope. Here participants work in a group setting with other households under the guidance of qualified construction supervisors that teach and educate participants in building their home.

Speakers at the conference include David Moore, president/CEO; Joseph T. Conaway, commission president; and the Town of Bridgeville, which will speak about the housing community for the 55 and older age group. Registration is open to the public by phone, 302-855-1659 or online, http/scttc.sussexcounty.info. Cost for the half-day conference is $25, or $20 for Chamber of Commerce members. The conference includes breakfast and lunch. Pre-registration is required.

Celebrating the versatile grape Those “little old winemakers” are pretty busy this time of year.

ORETTA NORR Along Oregon hillsides and in California valleys, in Tuscany and southern France, the autumn air is redolent with the aroma of ripened grapes waiting to be harvested for the 2007 vintage.

In these areas grapes are celebrated for their versatility by including them in soups, salads, sauces and desserts.

In the Italian tradition freshly picked grapes are served combined with Salad: raisins made from the previous year’s vin2 cups seedless green and red grapes, tage as a symbol of the continuity of life halved and a wish for good luck.

our house, it washed out a large hole at least three feet deep. County roads employees brought a load of 3-4 inch rocks to fill it. That worked well until it settled under the weight of large vehicles servicing the chicken house, leaving a crater deep enough to damage any vehicle that used it. At first, the county roads people refused to come back saying it was on Scott’s land. When the county representative came out to get the right-of-way signed, and saw the problem, he arranged for county roads crews to put a load of crushed stone in the hole and Scott says that it’s a major improvement.

There are plenty of holes left along county roadways from the flood and Scott said that farmers in the area have said that they will be glad to fill in the holes if the county will tell them where to get suitable fill.

Passing the buck Harry Truman is probably the only public official to ever have a sign on his desk that said “The buck stops here.” But even a cursory review of the events suggests that there is plenty of blame to go around. Being declared a federal disaster area opens the way for federal funding to underwrite 75 percent of the cost to restore normalcy but, apparently, doesn’t cause state or county agencies to move any faster. Sometimes a little judiciously applied public pressure has helped, sometimes not.

Oner Yucel, Ph.D., the engineer with Andrews Miller & Associates, who designed the new Galestown Millpond Dam and other projects that resulted from the June 2006 flood is as frustrated as anyone. He said that he expected to have moved on to other projects months ago, but that the issues involved in repairing the damage, including wetlands preservation and public safety, were incredibly complex.

Yucel said he and his staff had been “work-

ing like crazy” and that he believed that everyone involved was “doing their best.” He cited examples of state regulators who have taken time to meet with him to expedite the project approval process. He said that he was gratified to have a complicated hydraulic review completed within a month. Some things have moved faster than he expected.

During the dog days of summer, Galestown residents were assured that construction on the new dam and roadway would begin in August. “We have been given no less than 10 start dates by [Public Words Director George] Tenanty, beginning with the original start date of March, nine months after the flood,” said Walls. “The reasons for the delays are never owned by the county. Instead blame is laid on the design firm, the State of Maryland, FEMA, or most recently, the utility companies.”

After one such delay, Tenanty encouraged Galestown residents to take it up with their federal representatives. Through Congressman Wayne Gilchrest’s office, they learned that money was in the county’s accounts but that FEMA was still waiting on plans from the county. When they received them, they turned it around the approval process in less than half the usual time in an effort to help the community. Utility companies also told the Star that they were waiting on rights-of-way.

Galestown Millpond Association members have been told recently that the hold up is the permit process from the Maryland Department of the Environment. Ace Adkins, title, said that he has issued the Nontidal Wetlands and Waterways Permit for the Galestown Millpond reconstruction on August 21. From his division, it went to Dam Safety because, in addition to water quality and wetland preservation concerns, public safety is an issue when transportation is involved. The dam safety permit was issued in September. The utilities work has begun but was not completed by

press time. The contractor cannot begin until this is done. Then, the first step is to remove debris left behind by the receding floodwaters, which cannot be done safely while the utility work is ongoing.

Yucel said that when “start dates” are projected that, it should always include the caveat “if there are no problems.” Although the hole in the ground that was a pond or a road stares residents in the face every day, most of the professionals involved in putting things back like they were are juggling these along with other pressing projects.

Adkins said that the permit for Cokesbury Road had also been issued as well as the permit for one of the damaged areas on Palmer’s Mill road. Palmer’s Road was damaged in two places and the second area is problematic. In the second instance, there is a private dam just a few feet upstream of the road crossing. The

private landowner, who uses the pond for irrigation, got emergency approval to replace his dam and replaced it shortly after the flooding event. Dam safety has not certified the structure because the landowner did not coordinate with state officials to do the work according to regulations that govern the materials that can be used.

The certification process may take a while as a result; meanwhile repairs to the second cut in Palmer’s Mill road are on hold.

Preliminary work has begun in Galestown. Construction is expected to take 120 days.

Man slashes friend with knife

On October 10, at 12:24 a.m., state troopers from Troop Five responded to the 14000 block of Deer Forest Rd. to investigate a reported cutting. Troopers learned that Luke A. Scott, 29, of Bridgeville called 911 after he allegedly cut his friend in the back with a “buck knife.”

Upon arrival, investigators learned that Scott and the victim, a 36-year-old Georgetown man, purchased beer earlier in the evening and were drinking at Scott’s residence. During that time, the two men engaged in a verbal argument, which escalated into a fistfight. During the fight, Scott allegedly grabbed a large folding “buck” knife and slashed the victim’s back

twice.

As a result of the attack, the victim suffered a severe v-shaped cut to his back measuring approximately twenty-four inches. The victim was transported to Milford Memorial Hospital and admitted into the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for his injuries. Scott was later taken into custody without incident.

The Delaware State Fire Marshal’s Office investigated a dwelling fire on Oct. 9, at 11:27 p.m. in the Holly View Mobile Home Park on the 9500 block of Forrest Dr. in Seaford. The Blades Fire Department responded to the scene. Upon arrival, they encountered a structure that had sustained damage from a lightning strike.

The home, owned by Gene Walden of Seaford, was equipped with working smoke detectors.

Passenger without seatbelt dies

On Oct. 13, at 1:50 a.m., troopers were called to respond to an injury crash on Rt. 13, N. DuPont Hwy., just north of Denneys Rd. An orange and white tractor trailer was stopped at a red light on Rt. 13 northbound in the right lane at Denneys Rd. The light turned green and the tractor trailer slowly started north. An unknown vehicle and a 2003 Hyundai Sonota were traveling, respectively, in the right lane of Rt. 13 northbound approaching the tractor trailer, which was still gaining speed. Just prior to rear-ending the tractor trailer, the unknown vehicle changed lanes quickly to the left and passed the tractor trailer. The

Hyundai did not change lanes and rear ended the tractor trailer.

The unknown vehicle and the tractor trailer continued northbound after the crash and have not been located.

The Hyundai was operated by Sandi Renee Carney, 25, of Scotch Pine Dr. in Dover. She was wearing her seat-belt and was transported to Kent General Hospital where she was admitted with non-life threatening injuries. The front seat passenger was Rachel M. Capetola, 21, of Marlyn Ln. in Kenton. She was wearing her seat-belt and also was transported to Kent General Hospital where she was admitted with non-life threatening injuries.

Jason Crump, 29, also of Scotch Pine Dr. in Dover, was not wearing his seat-belt in the back seat. Crump was transported to Kent General Hospital where he died from his injuries.

Alcohol is a factor in this crash. Upon Carney's release from the hospital, she will be charged with DUI, vehicular homicide and second degree vehicular assault.

This crash remains under investigation.

Detectives are seeking information pertaining to the tractor trailer and the unknown first vehicle.

Investigators note that the tractor trailer should have damage to the rear. Tips and information can be provided to the Troop 3 Collision Reconstruction Unit at 302697-4491 ext 216 or Crime Stoppers at 800-TIP-3333.

Evelyn Faulkner Kratz Nanney, 85

Evelyn Deakyne Faulkner Kratz Nanney, of Hooksett Turnpike Road, Concord, N.H., died on Oct. 13. Born on Nov. 15, 1921, and raised in Wilmington, Mrs. Nanney graduated from P.S. DuPont High School and Goldey Beacom College. During World War II, she worked for Diamond State Telephone Company as a draftswoman, correcting black line drawings, until the men returned home to resume their jobs. After the war, she raised a family and worked at Faulk Road and Channin Elementary Schools as the school secretary, and as a substitute art teacher.

Upon retirement, she moved to Bridgeville, and later to Seaford, where she worked part-time as the activities director at the Methodist Manor Home. In Seaford, she was an active member of the AARP, organizing and sponsoring many

trips in and out of the country, and of the Spade and Trowel, where she chaired the Christmas Greens Sale and the Hospice Tree. Through the years, she expressed her deeply held faith, teaching Vacation Bible School and Sunday School, serving as a trustee in her churches, most recently Grace Baptist in Seaford, and living a life filled with curiosity and many pleasures.

Her favorite activities were gardening, flower arranging, drawing, photography, traveling, and sharing a ride and a cappuccino with close family and friends. In the past two years, she adventurously explored the back roads around Concord, N.H., delighting in the shifting scenery of the passing seasons surrounding her new home. She was pre-deceased by her parents, Florance Glanding Deakyne Faulkner and Samuel Green Faulkner, and by her brother Harvey Earl Faulkner. She enjoyed the love of two husbands, both of whom predeceased her, Marvin Henry Kratz and Arthur G. Nanney. She leaves three children, her daughter, Lynn Tolbert Kilchenstein; her son, Robert Henry Kratz; and her son-in-law, Paul Steven Kilchenstein, who was like a second son. She also leaves four grandchildren, Eric Kratz Tolbert, Jessica Lynn Kratz Ciritella, Lesley Ann Kratz, and Katherine Marie Kratz; three great-grandchildren, a niece and nephew, one brother-in-law, and three sisters-in-law. Finally, she leaves many dear friends whose companionship she treasured through the years.

A memorial service will be held at Grace Baptist Church in Seaford on Friday, Oct. 19, at 11 a.m.. In keeping with Mrs. Nanney’s generous spirit of giving, the family suggests friends donate in her memory to the organization of their choice.

Church Briefs Church Walk-a-thon

On Saturday, Nov. 3 at 8 a.m. Macedonia African Methodist Episcopal Church is sponsoring the third annual church walk-a-thon. Eighty percent of the net proceeds will go to the church and twenty percent to the American Heart Association. Last year, following this event, the church donated $1300 to charity and this year they hope to double that amount.

In order to reduce our expenses, the church is seeking donations of t-shirts, bottled water, hot dogs, hot dog buns, soft drinks, ice chips, etc., for the participants. In return, your business will be listed as a sponsor on the t-shirts.

The walk will begin and end at the church. Only four miles around the great city of Seaford. Please contact Ethel Fountain at 628-3289 for more information.

National recording artists Big Daddy Weave, Group 1 Crew, Run Kid Run, local band Unsearchable Riches, Illusionist Jared Hall, sand painter Mark Demel and national youth speakers Monty Hipp, Fred Lynch, Cynthia Tobias and Darrell Scott will offer insight on issues faced by middle school students.

Before and after the bookstore signing (1:00 to 3:30 p.m. and 6:15 to 7:30 p.m.), Abbott will be available at the Delaware Learning Resource Center located in the Child Development Center to discuss the book’s educational appli

cations. A faith-based story of a 12-yearold’s coming of age and discovery of his spiritual calling, Gavin Goodfellow has been adopted into the curriculum of two Christian schools.

Abbott and friends have also developed an Interactive Journal to help young readers define the lessons learned through Gavin’s adventures. This student workbook is available for download atwww.GavinGoodfellow.com.

Melanie Theofiles, Language Arts instructor at Epworth Christian School, is compiling a chapter-by-chapter Language Guide so busy teachers can use Gavin Goodfellow with middle grade students (recommended for 8th grade); the guide is expected to be finished early in 2008.

Patti Payne, director of the Learning Resource Center at Owens, says, “With all the resources we distribute to the public, I’ve never seen anything like this.

The book itself is an enjoyable read, and the curriculum pieces add a whole new dimension. It is a unique approach with a lot of potential for parents and teachers to get their kids thinking at a deeper level.”

“We’re looking forward to the book signing,” says Janette Ghabour, manager of the Delaware Tech Owens Campus bookstore. “Candy is an exceptional writer and an inspiration to students and staff alike. It will be good to have her back on campus again.”

Abbott retired from the Owens Campus five years ago to pursue writing, speaking, and publishing full-time. She served as Executive Secretary to the Campus Director for 28 years and is looking forward to reuniting with her former co-workers. Gavin Goodfellow: The Lure of Burnt Swamp is her second book. Her inspirational stories have been published in numerous anthologies.

Health Heart murmurs are often misunderstood

By Anthony Policastro, M.D This week’s lesson will be on physics.

That should be a clear sign to everyone who hates physics to stop reading at this point. I will add to the desire to stop reading by being specific. The lesson is on fluid dynamics.

Any type of fluid flowing through a system makes noise. The faster the flow, the louder is the noise because rapid flow is more turbulent. The smaller the tube, the louder is the noise because small passageways increase the loudness of noise.

This same principle applies to blood flow in the human body. When it is turbulent, it makes noise. When the passageway is narrow, it makes noise.

The best example of this is taking blood pressure. When a blood pressure cuff is blown up, it stops the blood flow. Therefore, no noise is present. When the pressure is released the blood starts to flow. However, the artery is partially blocked by the inflated cuff. Thus the flowing blood makes noise.

That is the upper number we use for blood pressure. At that number the blood begins to flow.

Once the pressure in the cuff drops to a low level, there is no longer any partial blockage to the blood flow. Therefore, the

Nanticoke offers Help for people with lymphedema Millions of Americans suffer from lymphedema or edema of the arms, legs, trunk or reproductive organs and have not received treatment.

The term "edema" refers to an excessive amount of fluid in tissues or organs of the body resulting in swelling. Lymphedema is the swelling of subcutaneous tissue and skin as a result of the malfunction of the lymphatic system.

There are two types of lymphedema: • Primary - develops when lymphatic vessels are missing or impaired (a rare inherited condition that can present itself at any point in the patient's life).

• Secondary - develops when lymphatic vessels are damaged or lymph nodes are removed (a result of physical damage or interruption of the lymph system).

Being diagnosed with lymphedema is a life-altering event. Suddenly your body doesn't function like it did before.

It doesn't look or feel the same. Your self-image and interactions with others may change.

You can't do things like you used to.

Activities you took for granted may now be difficult or even dangerous.

If you or someone you know suffers from lymphedema, there are answers.

Contact Nanticoke Health Services at Herring Run, 629-6614, for further information.

All blood flow makes some kind of noise. Therefore, all people have noisy blood flow through the heart. noise stops. That is the lower number that we use.

The same principle applies when listening to the blood flow in the heart. All blood flow makes some kind of noise. Therefore, all people have noisy blood flow through the heart. The problem is that our stethoscopes are not able to hear that blood flow.

Some of it is related to the fact that stethoscopes are not perfect instruments.

There is something called a phonocardiogram. It is a microphone placed on the chest. It listens to an amplified sound of blood flow through the heart. With this instrument, the blood flow can be heard in everyone’s heart.

The second reason that we cannot hear the blood flow in everyone’s heart is that the chest wall is in the way - it muffles the sound.

For those two reasons, we cannot hear the blood flow in most people’s chests.

Happy Birthday Dylan Dylan Blake Deshields 10/19/99 - 10/2/07

“Happy Birthday Dylan” It’s sure to be the best one yet, Though you left us here behind.

Did you think that we’d forget?

Your cake this year will surely be A beauty to behold.

With the icing made of Silver and the candles made of Gold.

Yes, your birthday in Heaven Will be such a grand affair.

And we know you’ll look so lovely, With a halo in your hair.

The Angels will come from everywhere, To sing your birthday song.

And we know they’ll be so happy That you’ve joined God’s Happy Throng.

No we can’t send a card this year, Or give a gift so fine.

So we’ll just send a special prayer To that wonderful son of mine.

Taken from poem by Winnie Lovett

We love and miss you, Mommy, Daddy & families

Children are a little different. Because their chest wall is so thin, we can more easily hear the blood flow. We can hear it in about 20% of children.

When we hear normal blood flow through a normal heart, we call it a functional heart murmur or an innocent heart murmur.

It is important to remember that it is caused by normal blood flowing through a normal heart making a lot of noise. There is nothing wrong with the heart.

I have seen many pediatric patients with functional murmurs. It is so common that I hear one almost every day. Sometimes, I ask parents if they have been told that their child has a heart murmur.

When I ask them what they have been told, it is interesting to see their understanding. They know their child has a heart murmur and have been told that it is nothing to worry about. Unfortunately, their interpretation is that their child has mild heart disease.

I explain that their child has a normal heart with normal blood flow. The blood is just making a lot of noise. There is nothing to worry about and no need to restrict the child’s activities.

The noise is nothing more than simple fluid dynamics at work. That is a good lesson to take home.

Pot pies recalled for salmonella

Check your freezer for Banquet or generic store-brand turkey or chicken not-ready-to-eat pot pies with "P-9" printed on the side of the package.

If you have any of these pot pie products, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) says to throw them out.

The USDA, CDC, and state health officials are investigating at least 139 cases of salmonella in 30 states that were reported this year and may be related to the pot pies. At least 20 people have been hospitalized in connection with the outbreak, according to the CDC. ConAgra, the manufacturer of the pot pies, reminds consumers to cook the pot pies thoroughly as instructed on the packages. "The cooking instructions for these products are specifically designed to eliminate the presence of common pathogens found in many uncooked products," ConAgra states.

So far, health officials haven't proven that the pot pies caused the salmonella cases. But based on interviews comparing foods eaten by patients and people without salmonella, the CDC calls the pot pies "the likely source" of the illness.

For more information, including details on refunds for the pot pies, contact ConAgra at 866-484-8671 or www.conagrafoods.com/contactus.

Health Briefs Red Balloon Hoedown

The Wellness Community-Delaware is celebrating its growth in Sussex County with a hoedown. Kick up your heels to country music favorites with Brian K. Hall of the CAT Country morning DJ team.

The Red Balloon Hoedown will be held Friday, Oct. 19, from 7-11 p.m. at the Baycenter in Dewey Beach. Event sponsors include Delmarva Broadcasting, Cape Gazette and the Tunnell Cancer Center.

The event is an opportunity to pay tribute to people in Sussex County whose lives have been touched by cancer.

This year, caregivers will also be honored. Tickets are $50 per person and include a tribute balloon that will be displayed at the event.

"All of the programs at The Wellness Community are offered at no charge, so the Red Balloon Hoedown is an important fundraiser for us," said Suzanne Landon, Event chair. Landon, a breast cancer survivor, emphasized that there is a tremendous need in Sussex County for the cancer support services provided by The Wellness Community - Delaware.

"Through on-site program participation and community outreach efforts, we have had an average of 600 contacts each month since relocating to our new facility on Rt. 24," said Landon.

To purchase tickets, contact Barbara Smith or Jo Wilkins by calling The Wellness Community at 302-645-9150. Tickets may also be purchased online at www.wellnessdelaware.org. All proceeds from the event will fund support programs for people with cancer and their families in Sussex County.

MORNING STAR • OCTOBER 18 -24, 2007

Three-day horsemanship clinic planned for October World renowned horse trainers and authors Mark Rashid and Kathleen Lindley believe that as prey animals, horses naturally seek to adapt to their environment and get along with others including humans.

Lindley will conduct a three-day horsemanship clinic Oct. 20 through 22 at Lisa May’s Idylwild Farm in Federalsburg.

Rashid and Lindley teach ways to communicate with horses by studying individual behaviors.

They help riders and handlers gain better control without using physical force or sharp reprimands.

Lindley will work one-on-one with seven horses and riders over the threeday course, taking into account the experience of each rider and the issues of each horse. “Despite their size, horses are remarkably sensitive,” Lindley says. “They communicate with glances, flicks of their tail and by shifting their weight.”

“This is not a cookie-cutter clinic,” May emphasizes, “but rather a lesson in understanding horses and improving riding and handling skills.

Riders of all disciplines and handlers of all breeds and levels of experience can benefit from this outstanding clinic,” she says.

Spectators can sign up for one day or all three of these demonstration and discussion sessions.

For location, time, and cost, call 410754-9141 or contact the farm through www.idylwildfarm.com

Seaford Star Sports Raiders rally for 29 points to defeat Seaford, 35-27

By Daniel Richardson The field was slippery on Friday night when Woodbridge managed a fourth quarter rally to win the game during Seaford’s homecoming celebration. Woodbridge was down 27-6 at the beginning of the fourth quarter, when they handed the ball to running back Josh Quinones on a series of downs that led Woodbridge into the end zone for the first time in the second half. A two-point conversion brought the score to 27-14.

Woodbridge went on to score 20 more unanswered points to finish out the game, 35-27. The Blue Jays’ offense could not come up with any first downs in the fourth quarter and the defense did not have an answer for Woodbridge’s ground attack.

Seaford’s Robbie Payne had two interceptions early in the game and Seaford scored a touchdown following the second pick with a run by fullback Vincent Glover.

Tyler Ruark went 81 yards on a pass from Spencer Coulbourn for Seaford’s second score and an 11-yard pass to Ruark gave Seaford its third score after holding a 14-6 lead at the half.

A three-yard touchdown pass to tight end C.J. Martinez produced Seaford’s final touchdown in the third quarter (27-6).

Penalties and mistakes plagued the Blue Jays as the Raiders turned it on in the fourth and put up 29 unanswered points.

Austin Perry had a two-yard touchdown run before running in the two-point

conversion and Quinones, who scored a five-yard touchdown in the second quarter, had a 13-yard touchdown run.

Perry completed a 46-yard touchdown pass to Greg Seay and Reuss Idler made his second straight extra point to make it 28-27.

An interception by Doug Washington with 1:30 left in the game led to a oneyard touchdown run by Quinones and an extra point by Idler which put Woodbridge up by eight, 35-27.

BETWEEN THE LINES

By Gene Bleile, Seaford Sports reb60315@yahoo.com

Seaford grad O’Day promoted to captain, returns home from Camp Fallujah, Iraq First things first, I would like to thank those readers who e-mailed me about how much they enjoy reading about former Seaford area athletes that have served our country and have returned home to civilian life or are continuing their careers in the United States.

I am happy to report again this week that another former Seaford High athlete Brian O’Day, son of Jim and Carol O’Day of Seaford has returned home safely from his deployment at Camp Fallujah, Iraq.

Brian was a former student of mine and a lifeguard when I managed the SSA Pool and he was also a standout varsity golfer and soccer player for the Blue Jays during his high school career. He also found another passion, when he started his military career with the NJROTC at Seaford High.

In 2003, he graduated from North Carolina State University (Raleigh) with a business finance degree and was also commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the Marines.

After six months training at Quantico, Va., he attended U.S. Army Field Artillery School at Fort Sill, Okla., and from 2004 until this past summer was stationed stateside in Camp Lejeune, N.C., when not out of the country.

His first deployment from March 2005 until September 2005 was with the Marine Expeditionary Unit, which took him to nine countries, including Kuwait, Iraq and Jordan, where he trained with the Jordanian Army. In 2006, he trained with another foreign military and became the officer in charge of a 40 Marine detachment that went to Fuerte Agauayo, Chile to train with their Marines.

His most recent deployment was as the

executive officer of an artillery battery doing a provisional infantry mission in Al Anbar Province. He was stationed in Camp Fullujah, but operated around four small towns in the area.

In a recent phone interview and series of e-mails, Capt. O’Day had this to say about his time in Iraq. “We took over an area that was riddled with Improvised Explosive Devices and a local populace that was ambivalent towards Coalition Forces.

As we patrolled the town, interacted with the people, provided medical aid and captured insurgents, we were able to see marked improvements in the area. We worked with the local militia and attacks in the area went to zero in the last 60 days we were there. The success we saw in our small area is part of the overall success story recently mentioned about Al Anbar Province and we are very proud of those accomplishments.”

Welcome home to Capt. Brian O’Day, another American hero from Seaford.

Blue Jay Notebook: This past July, Brian was promoted to Captain while in Camp Fallujah.

He and his wife Kelli are moving back to Fort Sill, Okla., where he will become an instructor at the U.S. Army Field Artillery Officer Basic Course.

Brian has two sisters, Jan Griffith and Christy Thomas, both Blue Jay alumni.

On a recent visit home with his parents last week, I was out of town an unable to play a round of golf with Capt. O’Day as a welcome home thank you for his service to our country. Brian, the offer still stands the next time you are visiting Seaford, we will play that round. Good Luck and God Speed.

nies are closing plants in these third world countries, or relocating them to places with still lower wages.

In spite of cutbacks, there is one position that is not taking a cut in pay: as a matter of fact some of them are rewarded for their failed services.

I speak of the American CEO who rakes in millions in bonuses, stock options, and other perks. The average American CEO makes almost 400 times more than the average worker in this country.

There are few CEOs who take a pay cut for leading their company down the tube.

Instead, some of them have clauses in their contracts which give them large payoffs in the millions when they are dumped by their companies.

If you wonder why these CEOs get these lucrative contracts, consider this: The CEO picks his board of directors who receive large compensations to serve on these boards, so in order to keep their job on the board they suck up to the CEO and do what he says, or out the door they go.

Some CEOs have their large bonuses based on performance and do take a cut, not in salary but with their bonuses. However they still receive a bundle.

There is no shame with the American CEO. However, in China and Japan CEOs do take the blame for poor performance.

In past years, officials in Japan and China, because of poor performance whether it be in retail, manufacturing, or government, have taken their lives.

Recently there were several recalls of toys being manufactured in China, having

lead poison in the materials.

As a result the head of a Chinese manufacturer whose lead-tainted Sesame Street toys were the center of a massive U.S. recall, has killed himself by hanging.

Mattel, Inc, one of the largest U.S. toy companies, was forced to recall nearly one million plastic preschool toys made by the Chinese company because they were decorated with paint found to have excessive amounts of lead.

Some of the popular Thomas trains, my youngest grandson's favorite toy, has been recalled because of lead paint.

You might have thought Mattel while counting their profits might have thought to add a little note to the Chinese company manufacturing their products to say: DO NOT USE LEAD PAINT. For the inconvenience to the customers for returning the trains, customers were given a bonus set. Now that is being recalled.

The co-owner of the Chinese plant was under pressure in a global controversy over the safety of Chinese-made products.

His product was marketed under the Fisher-Price brand.

It is common for disgraced officials to commit suicide in China and Japan.

While I am not advocating American CEOs commit suicide when they flush their companies down the toilets, I think they should pay a price and not receive those large lumps of money when they do fail. Many of our CEOs and some politicians show no shame or remorse for their sins.

Letters to the Editor Who deserves a second chance?

Have you ever made a mistake in your life? Did someone forgive you for it and give you the opportunity to redeem yourself? Have you known someone who has been looked over or judged based on a previous mistake or action? I can say yes to all of these, as I’m sure many people can.

This year, Trinity has started preparing meals for the Mission of Hope (formerly Seaford Mission).

For those of you who are not familiar with the Mission, it is a gentleman’s home for men who have “made mistakes.” They are allowed to come and stay for approximately three months (depending on the circumstances it could be longer), and they report to a man named Paul.

They are required to find work, do chores, pray, take classes, and even wash their hands before every meal. Some may think this is a little extreme for adult males, however, seeing all these actions take place first hand, I can truly see the good from it. At this time, there are at least 100 men on the waiting list.

These men only need guidance. A second chance to get it right. They are taught the values needed to succeed in life.

I have recently had the chance to sit and really talk to Mr. Ed Banning (Mission board member) about their purpose and the great things they try to do.

Growing up, I always believed that if you made a “mistake,” you should be pun-

I believed this all the way up until I started working for Trinity, and met Mr. Banning.

I’ve had the privilege of seeing him speak to the residents of the Mission. I’ve seen their eyes light up when he speaks. I can see how much they appreciate someone coming in and giving them the time of day. All they need is someone to care.

Trinity serves dinner one Thursday a month at the Mission. I’ve been honored to be able to participate twice now. Each time, I’ve left with an overwhelming urge to do more, and be a bigger part of the plan that Paul and the board members have.

I can’t explain to anyone the joy I’ve gotten from seeing the men all go wash

their hands, then hold hands to say Grace before dinner. Then, all of them, very politely, come to the kitchen door to get their “homemade lasagna.” They all say Please and Thank You. Each time they walk by the kitchen, we get an appreciative smile and a Thank You. That warms my heart because I know that they sincerely are Thankful that we have taken the time out of our perfect lives (compared to theirs), to come and do this for them.

I know how appreciative I’d be, if complete strangers with no ulterior motive, did that for me. After dinner, they clean up their plates, and announce that it’s chore time. They come into the kitchen and take over. They do the trash, the dishes, and just clean anything that needs to be cleaned.

During dinner, they all sit together at a huge circle of tables. They all talk amongst themselves, or someone will come in and speak to them. They are being spoken to about God, and the wonderful things he can do for them. Things they need to hear. The men need to know that someone is always for them, regardless.

They just need and want people to talk to them.

Now I’m sure that not all the men make it from the Mission with a clear head and a new outlook on life. There are those who fall back into the same routine of “mistakes.”

Should they be given another chance held on Tuesdays from 11-11:30 a.m. Parents and caregivers of infants or toddlers up to the age of 3 are encouraged to come interact with their young ones. For more information, call Cindi Smith at 629-2524.

The Smith Family sincerely thanks everyone for their expression of sympathy in the recent passing of their beloved husband & father,

also? I think so. How can anyone change if not given another chance? Do we not give our children several chances to learn how to be potty-trained? We don’t just throw them aside after the first or second time they have an accident. We keep coaching them, and guiding them, and teaching them the right way.

With these men, it’s the same thing.

They just need people to keep teaching them the right way to do things; the right way to live. To show them how much happier and healthier they’d be without the “mistakes” in their lives.

I keep referring to things as a “mistake.” The definition of “mistake” is: a wrong action attributable to bad judgment or ignorance or inattention. How many of us can say we’ve made “mistakes”? ALL OF US at some point or another. Where would we be if no one had given us another chance? Probably not where we are now. I encourage everyone to think about this. Think about the acronym “WWJD.” Just what exactly would Jesus do? He would forgive, like he does everyday. He would and does give another chance.

I can only ask that each of you do the same thing. Forgive and give other chances. Please give support to those who are going above and beyond to ensure that these gentlemen are getting another chance.

Letters to the Editor Positive Steps provided preventive health care It has come about in the last weeks that Positive Steps, an exercise center that works for the wellbeing of the young and old alike, was closed by our own community hospital, which is supposed to be all about health care.

All of the articles about health care and any information we read and get from our family doctors tell us that preventive medicine is necessary for all of us to have good health and live a productive life. Positive Steps was just that.

Positive Steps, which has been operating over 20 years, has a membership which goes there regularly. Bypass surgery patients, people with sugar diabetes, people with joint transplants, stroke victims and people with other types of medical problems have been greatly helped there.

The program helps those who need help and everyone is welcome at a very reasonable price.

The membership is near 450, so it is an active and needed program for the community.

The exercise programs at Positive Steps are overseen by three knowledgeable staff members who are there from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. five days a week (other hours can be arranged).

It has been said that the facility is being closed because it is falling apart. False! New carpet was recently installed and the walls are freshly painted. New counters were installed for the staff, a new blood pressure station for members to use coming in and going out was put in and

recorded files of members’ workouts are on hand at all times. The center has had a membership drive which has been an average success.

So, what is the problem? I’m wondering if the dollar bills aren’t getting ahead of community health care.

Opposition to subdivision I am writing this letter to express my opposition to the subdivision of 320 lots considered to be built on 213 acres located between the roads of Trussum Pond Rd. and Gordy Road.

The concerns that my neighbors and I have for not wanting this cluster developement are: • With 320 lots, there will be approximately two children per home, or an additional 640 children. The Laurel schools are already overcrowded.

• Also the Laurel Fire Dept. is already streched to its limits without taking on the other proposed housing developments going up around laurel. One of them being another 320-plus unit development already approved just a mile down from the one I’m writing about.

With both projects on the same road, not a mile or so apart, we are looking at an additional 1,280 cars and trucks traveling down Trussum Pond and Gordy Roads.

Even half of this traffic would be outrageous for a little round top country road that already has issues.

This latest proposed develop-

ment has already met with planning & zoning months ago. It was put on hold because of concerns that arose with the development. Planning & zoning is having another public hearing on the Lacrosse Homes of Delaware project on Tuesday, Oct. 23, at 10:30 a.m.

Why 10:30 a.m. on a work day instead of 6 or 7 p.m. like the last hearing? Maybe there was too much opposition last time and someone is hoping no one will take off work to disagree this time.

If we keep developing the farmland in this state, we will have to start buying our food from other states, raising the cost of eating, which is already outrageous.

This proposed development will affect a lot of people for a long, long time to come, and not all of it will be good. We do not need “mini towns” in the country.

If you have any interest in this project, please attend the hearing October 23 at 10:30 a.m.

went to his sister, Shannon Bradley, who was right on his heels with 10 fish caught. Third place was awarded to Chase Milligan. Additionally, every participant won a trip to the Award Table regardless of the number of fish caught.

All said and done, everybody won, with fish, food, fun and prizes.

Warshow says Seafordians should be very proud of their town. The local merchants demonstrated huge generosity by providing bountiful prizes to the kids and their parents for participating in such a wholesome activity.
