Maintaining the progressive climatein Laurel’s potential for growth, moreproperty owners have requested to beconsidered for annexation and hookupto the municipal water and sewer.

During a recent meeting of theLaurel Town Council, Mayor JohnShwed shared an annexation requestfrom Craig and Juanita Littleton, ofW.C. Littleton and Son Inc., regardinga 3.5-acre parcel on 10th Street, acrossfrom the Laurel Fire Station.

In a letter to the town, the Littletonsexplained that they are requesting tohave the south portion of the propertyannexed to allow for access to munici-pal services to accommodate a plannedtownhouse project.

“W.C. Littleton & Son Inc. is cur-rently under contract with James W.

Burgess III, of Elite Homes and Mr.Burgess is intending to construct town-houses on the property and sell prima-rily to first time home buyers,” the let-ter stated. “The townhouses will bedressed up to blend in with the localmarket.”

The Littletons said Burgess will beresponsible for all costs and documen-tation for the townhouse process andthey will “assist where necessary andadvise where needed.”

The town also received confirma-tion from two other property ownerswho are interested in joining a collabo-rative effort to gain town water andsewer and eventually annex into thetown’s corporate limits.

In December, the owners of amobile home park near US 13approached the council about annexa-tion. Southern Delaware Homes, theowner of Shady Acres Mobile Home

Park located behind the Oasis TravelCenter, Laurel, plans to develop a 216-unit townhouse complex on the mobilehome park site.

During the Monday, Dec. 19, meet-ing, Southern Delaware Homes vicepresident Brian McKinley was joinedby his firm’s consultant, Joe Conaway,of Consultant’s Unlimited, to discussthe plans for the new townhouse proj-ect.

Currently, the Shady Acres MobileHome property is not contiguous withthe borders of Laurel’s town limits,which makes it ineligible for annexa-tion into the town. In an effort to gainaccess to the town’s public water andwaste water treatment, SouthernDelaware Homes is making an offer toneighboring commercial propertiesalong US 13.

Chairman and CEO of Beebe Hospital,Jeffrey Fried, believes that “affordablehealth care is a really important issue forour community.” And Fried, along withother medical and insurance professionalsand business owners in Sussex County, be-lieve they have a solution.

On Aug. 22, at Delaware Technical andCommunity College in Georgetown, thegroup unveiled a plan to help businesses inthe county address the health insurance is-sues many of them face. Members of thecommittee and insur-ance providerCreenaght have cre-ated a new plan theybelieve will helpbusiness owners.

The Delaware In-surance Commis-sioner’s office ap-proved Creenaght’shealth care plan onJuly 20. The plan isunderwritten byCompanion Life In-surance Company.

Unlike otherhealth insuranceplans, members areoffered the option toparticipate in a newplan offered byCreenaght called the “health corridor.”Members choosing to participate in thehealth corridor plan are given a complete

health evaluation which provides a base-line assessment “against which steps toachieve optimal health are continuallymeasured.”

Members whose health evaluationshows risks such as diabetes, high bloodpressure or high cholesterol begin workwith their health care providers andCreenaght’s “health advocates” to managethese conditions and provide preventativecare. Members who go through thisprocess receive higher benefit levels andlower premiums, co-pays and deductibles,because they are actively working to

achieve their bestpossible level ofhealth.

Each year mem-bers are tracked andtheir health is evalu-ated. Plans can bemodified to “im-prove effectivenessin meeting personalhealth goals.”

Members whochoose not to partici-pate in the healthcorridor plan will in-stead be enrolled inthe “core benefit”plan. This plan in-cludes lower reim-bursements, higherout-of-pocket ex-

penses and individual deductibles. One reason for the higher cost of this

plan is that studies have shown that over

90 percent of insurance claims are in-curred by approximately 30 percent ofmembers. According to the Pharmaceuti-cal Patient Compliance and Disease Man-agement group quoted in the literature giv-en out at Tuesday’s meeting, over 60 per-cent of patients “are not fully compliantwith prescribed medical therapies for ex-isting health risks and/or conditions.”

Most often, the literature says, claimsare incurred by members who do notchoose to follow doctor’s recommenda-tions or health management plans.

Both the health corridor plan and thecore benefit plan are renewable each year,and members can switch from one plan tothe other if they choose to. However, bet-

ter benefits are provided to those memberswho work responsibly to manage theirown health.

Almost all hospitals and more than 90percent of doctors in Delaware will be par-ticipating in this new plan.

The start date for Creenaght’s plan isOctober 1, 2006. Phase I of Creenaght’splan will be offered to businesses licensedin Delaware with 50 or fewer employeesand self-funded employers who belong tothe Chamber of Commerce.

For more information call a localChamber of Commerce, the Chamber ofCommerce Health Care Hotline at (302)227-8338, or visit the Creenaght group’sWeb site at www.creenaght.com.

The Laurel Chamber of Commerce’sfirst important seminar is on Thursday,Sept. 14, at 7 p.m. at the chamber office.Chamber business members are being of-fered health insurance.

On July 20, the chamber driven healthcare plan by Creenaght was approved bythe Delaware State Insurance Commis-sion. The Creenaght health is underwrittenby Companion Life Ins. Co., an A+ ratedcarrier.

Phase I will be offered to Delaware li-censed businesses with 50 or fewer em-ployees and self-funded employers who

belong to any chamber of commerce inDelaware.

The guest speaker will be Brian Heffer-an from Creenaght, who was instrumentalin getting this insurance plan off theground. Members are urged to attend thismeeting and bring questions.

The meeting is open to the public, butonly chamber members can participate inthe insurance plan.

Reservations for the meeting are due bySept. 11. Call the chamber office at 875-9319 or Bev at 875-8303.

Light refreshments will be served.

A Laurel resident recently expresseddiscontent at what she feels is an unrea-sonable number of derelict properties inthe town. During a recent meeting of theLaurel Town Council, Mary Ann Rivas ofPine Street asked the council how longderelict properties were allowed to remainin a state of disrepair before the town didsomething about it.

“There are houses in the 8th Street and4th Street area that are fires waiting tohappen,” she said. “There are kids in thoseareas and the buildings are abandoned.How long before you do something aboutit?”

Town code official Paul Frick told Ri-vas that he is working with the owners ofthe properties that she alluded to in hercomments.

“There are two buildings on 4th Streetwhere the owner is getting bids and willbe moving to have the structures torndown,” he said. “An abandoned buildingon 8th Street is going to sheriff’s sale andthe town holds the deed and title and it isone of several properties that the town isoffering for sale as surplus properties. Thebuildings will either be torn down, or willbe sold as is. There is really nothing moreI can do.”

The properties referred to by Frick as“surplus properties” include properties onWest 6th Street (between 421 and 425 W.6th Street and 411 and 415 W. 6th Street),a property on West 7th Street (between522 and 526 W. 7th Street) and a con-

demned property that once served as aschool house located at 105 East 8thStreet.

The two properties on West 6th Streetare being researched by George, Miles &Buhr, the town’s engineering firm, as po-tential sites for water line expansion overBroad Creek.

Frick told Rivas that there are alsoproperties on Front Street that are goingthrough a change in ownership and thenew owners are moving to have the build-ings torn down.

Rivas said she feels that too often prop-erties in Laurel are allowed to become rundown and left in a state of disrepair that isdangerous to children and unsightly in thecommunity.

“We have people in this town gettingaway with being slum lords with badproperties,” she said. “There are houses insuch bad shape that the only thing thatkeeps them from falling down is the ter-mites holding hands. I have to keep myproperty up and I am a widow. If I can doit, so can they.”

Mayor John Schwed said that he feelsthe town is doing much better in dealingwith derelict properties. He pointed outthat under Frick’s leadership the Code En-forcement Department is working to de-velop a list of the 50 worst properties intown. This list will be shared with thecouncil, the properties, both commercialand residential, will be placed in order ofpriority and action will be taken to addressthe problems.

According to Conaway, SouthernDelaware Homes is willing to pay for thecosts associated with bringing Laurel’swater and sewer lines out to its propertyon the northbound side of US 13. In theinterest of becoming contiguous with thetown, Southern Delaware Homes is offer-ing to pay costs associated with hookingup to the town’s system for those business-es which could be serviced by a line run-ning out to Shady Acres Mobile HomePark. Southern Delaware Homes hopesthat the businesses will annex into thetown and help the Shady Acres propertybecome contiguous to the town’s bound-aries.

During a recent council meeting, letterswere shared from property owners alongUS 13 near the Shady Acres Mobile Homecomplex who are expressing interest in

taking Southern Delaware Homes up on itsoffer to bear the costs for having the prop-erties access the town’s water and sewerservice.

Nanticoke Memorial Hospital said itwill be interested in joining the project andseek future annexation for its property, theLaurel Medical Center, on US 13. Alsosending a letter of request was FrankCalio, owner of Calio Plaza, also on US13.

Calio said he would maintain an inter-est in annexation as long as all costs forthe extension of municipal utilities wouldbe handled by Southern Delaware Homesand he would not be expected to bear anyout of pocket expenses.

This is in line with the concept thatMcKinley and Conaway shared with thecouncil back in December.

“This property (Shady Acres) could beimproved and be a benefit to the town of

Laurel,” Conaway said at the Decembermeeting. “We have sent letters to propertyowners that are contiguous to the townasking that they consider annexing into thetown and we will pay the costs to run thelines and do the individual laterals forhook ups. All we would ask them to do ispay their normal operational fees to thetown.”

Conaway also said that SouthernDelaware Homes has a water system withtwo wells on the property that it will bewilling to make available to the town thatmay be helpful as it plans growth on theeastern side of US 13.

McKinley said that the townhouse proj-ect encompasses 38 acres of property andis felt to be much better use of the landthan the existing mobile home park.

“Based on the development that is tak-ing place in Laurel we feel an upscaletownhouse project is a much better use ofthis land,” he said. “We also want the townto know that we plan to stay in this proj-ect. We are not getting approval to do theproject and then run away and leave it.”

The townhouses planned for the projectare expected to be about $1,800 square-feet in area space and cost in the neighbor-hood of $250,000. They are to be builtwith six units to each building and homeswill be equipped with garages as well asadditional on-street parking.

The requests from Nanticoke MemorialHospital and Calio have been referred tothe town’s Annexation and GrowthCommittee for review.

The Laurel Annexation and GrowthCommittee, chaired by Councilman ChrisCalio, has reviewed several recent annexa-tion requests and is recommending that thetown move forward in the annexationprocess.

During a recent meeting of the LaurelTown Council, Calio presented therequests to the full council. The requestsinclude properties located in the area ofthe intersection of U.S. 13 and U.S. 9.

Davis, Bowen & Friedel Inc., Salisbury,

is requesting annexation of four of theparcels on behalf of Royal Farms conven-ience store. Three of these properties arelocated in the area of the existing RoyalFarms store on the corner of US 13 andDel. 9. The forth is a parcel across thestreet from the Royal Farms store on theadjacent corner of US 13 and 9, next tothe auction block property.

A fifth parcel of land on U.S. 13, nextto the Tastee Freeze restaurant, has beenslated for a real estate office. Annexationof this property will enable the RoyalFarms and Tastee Freeze properties tobecome contiguous to the town’s corporate

limits in preparation for annexation. The same is true for two other proper-

ties across U.S. 13 on the east side, whichwill become contiguous if the real estateoffice property is annexed. One of therequests comes from Bill Brown, owner ofBargain Bill’s Flea Market at the corner ofUS 13 and Delaware 9. The other is for an18-acre parcel owned by Doug Whaleyand located at U.S. 13 and U.S. 9, near theExxon Convenience Store.

The Car Store located on the east sideof US 13 seeks annexation. If that hap-pens, it will enable a large parcel of prop-erty owned by David G. Horsey & Sons to

be eligible for annexation, as that propertywould be contiguous to property in town.That property is being looked at for aDiscovery Group project, developed inconjunction with the David G. HorseyFamily Youth Foundation and featuring asports complex and retail operation on 480acres of land near US 13 north of Laurel.

Laurel Mayor John Shwed said townengineers at George, Miles & Buhr will beworking on developing the path thatmunicipal utility lines will take to reachout to US 13, including the eastern side ofthe highway.

Path is set for annexation of Horsey property

Changes in Delaware’s animalpopulation control program

A new Delaware law signed on June29, 2006 establishes a pre-adoptionspay/neuter program for cats and dogs anda spay/neuter fund. It is now mandatoryfor all cats and/or dogs of reproductiveage to be spayed or neutered and inoculat-ed for rabies prior to adoption. Failure tocomply with the provisions of the lawmay result in fines.

Persons who demonstrate economichardship may apply for funding assistancefrom the proceeds of the Spay/NeuterFund to comply. Also, organizations thatare a 501(c) (3) animal welfare, animalrescue and/or animal humane organizationregistered in the State of Delaware mayapply for funding assistance.

The program is being administered bythe Delaware Department of Agriculture.Initial spay-neuter funding assistance willcome from a FY 2007 appropriation. Sub-

sequent funding will be derived from a $3surcharge that will be added to each rabiesshot administered in Delaware on or afterSept 1, 2006.

The purpose of the spay/neuter pro-gram is to assist low-income residents andlow-income communities. The AnimalPopulation Control Program’s goals in-clude the reduction of:

• population growth among stray andunwanted cats and dogs; and

• stray and unwanted cats and dogs en-tering animal shelters; and

• cat and dog euthanasia rates; and • animal-inflicted injuries to humans

(e.g. bites); and • threats to public health and safety

(e.g. from rabies and vehicular accidents). If you need assistance in finding a li-

censed veterinarian, contact the VeterinaryMedical Association, 302-674-8581.

The Delmar Joint Council held itsmonthly meeting before a packed house onMonday. At issue were three proposed ordi-nances that came up for public hearing dur-ing the meeting, most notably a noise ordi-nance and an abandoned vehicle ordinance.

The issue that drew the most publiccomment was the proposed noise ordi-nance, which was introduced at lastmonth’s meeting and came before the coun-cil in the second public hearing of the night.

The proposed noise ordinance had nohours written for the time of the ordinance.However, the council had discussed duringthe July meeting the possibility of having ittake effect during the hours of 9 a.m. to 7p.m. Town attorney Robert Benson suggest-ed setting the distance from the source ofnoise at 50 feet rather than 10 feet, the orig-inal distance set in the ordinance.

Benson said similar noise ordinances arein effect in Salisbury and Fruitland. Sometowns use noise meters, which require train-ing and the purchasing of equipment, withother towns setting the distance from thesource of noise at 50 feet. Salisbury has adistance of 50 feet with the ordinance tak-ing effect between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m.

Some residents did not realize that theproposed noise ordinance was for overnightrather than 24 hours a day. One residentasked the council how she’s supposed tocall her 10-year-old kid for dinner or mowher grass if the noise ordinance is passed.

“We’re not saying 24 hours a day youcan’t go and call your kid down the street,”Councilwoman Diane Buckley said. Buck-ley added that the town would need to re-ceive a complaint from a neighbor beforeany action would be taken under the noiseordinance, which carries a $10 to $500 fineand 30 days in jail.

Buckley said constant outdoor scream-ing (at night) is what is being targeted bythe ordinance. Both Buckley and Commis-sioner Carrie Williams told the crowd thecouncil was looking for the town’s inputduring the public hearing.

Resident Wayne Bastian pointed out thatTV noise is not included in the ordinance,while noise from a phonograph is. He alsosaid setting the distance at 10 feet is ridicu-lous, the hours need to be set, and the term“reasonable person” in the ordinance mayleave the town open to law suits.

Bastian, a former Delmar School Districtsuperintendent, said that if permit applica-tions are granted residents within a 1,000

foot radius of the facility should be consult-ed prior to approval.

One resident suggested that the ordi-nance could put people out of business iftruckers aren’t allowed to drop their loads.Delmar Deputy Fire Chief Joe Morris, Jr.said the fire department, with its siren andsound amplifying equipment, is not exemptunder the proposed ordinance (neither is thepolice department).

Another resident pointed out that roofersstart work at 6 a.m. because of the heat andsanitation workers make pickups before 7a.m. Residents also voiced concerns overwho will enforce the ordinance and thepunishment for the crime.

“We’re not out to lock you up. We’re cit-izens here too,” said Buckley.

“What we’re talking about is a quality oflife ordinance. Studies show these kind ofordinances reduce crime and enhance prop-erty values,” said former CommissionerLarry Points.

Points suggested that the enforcement bedone by police officers who could roll theirwindows down and go to the source of thenoise during the hours of the noise ordi-nance rather than have a “noise person” ascalled for in the proposed ordinance.

“I’m more confused about the wholething than I was when I came in,” residentJeff Willis said, pointing to what he called“gray areas” in the ordinance.

Commission members said the proposedordinance came about as a way to give thetown a law that can be enforced when thepolice department gets complaints. Thecouncil voted to table the issue and bring itback for another public hearing.

The first public hearing of the nightdealt with proposed ordinances (in Mary-land and Delaware) concerning abandoned,inoperable vehicles on residents’ properties.Benson told the joint council that if the pro-posed ordinance is passed, the existing ordi-nance would be repealed.

According to Benson, the proposed ordi-nance is almost the same as the one in ef-fect. The main change is the elimination ofa clause allowing the maintenance of vehi-cles in the rear portion of a property.

Under the ordinance, residents have 30days to remove an inoperable vehicle fromtheir properties. Points said the provision inthe current ordinance which allows resi-dents to apply for a six month extension hasbeen the biggest problem. He suggested re-moving that provision from the ordinanceas well as limiting the number of inoperablecars allowed on a property at one time to

one or two.Benson said the ordinance allows no in-

operable vehicles past 30 days and suggest-ed reducing the 30-day time period ratherthan setting a limit on the number of aban-doned vehicles.

Resident James Davis said the town’szoning should cover situations where multi-ple abandoned vehicles are present if thereis a business operating in a residential area.

Williams suggested leaving the sixth-month extension out of the proposed ordi-nance but both the Delmar Commission(Md.) and the Delmar Council (Del.) votedto table the issue to allow members time toreview the proposed changes brought up atthe meeting. A second public hearing willbe held on the issue (also at a future jointcouncil meeting).

Both bodies voted unanimously in favorof the the third ordinance discussed duringa public hearing, an ordinance establishingdefinition and requirements for a floodplain. Benson pointed out that one smallarea in town (east of Stage Road) is in aflood plain, which prohibits building.

Delmar (Md.) Mayor Doug Niblett stat-ed that some area residents are unable toapply for flood insurance without the pas-sage of the ordinance. Benson pointed outthat the federal government defines what aflood plain is.

In other business, Councilman MichaelHoulihan reported on the Planning andZoning meeting which was held last Thurs-day night.

The Saturn dealership, located on Route13 in Delmar, Md., submitted some solu-

tions to the conflict with Holly Lake resi-dents concerning traffic. The proposals in-cluded adding an entrance to the dealershipfarther away from Holly Lakes, postingsigns prohibiting parking and test drivingnear the development, and the addition ofsix concrete display pads on the westernside of the road.

The Delmar Commission (Md.) voted 5-0 to accept the proposed signs and new en-trance and deny the concrete pads becauseof safety concerns. The commission alsovoted 4-0 in favor of granting final ap-proval for the Foskey Lane Business Park,pending a traffic study.

The Delmar Council (Del.) voted 4-1 infavor of granting final approval to the Still-water development. Preliminary approvalwas granted last September. The develop-ment consists of 130 units with a minimumlot size of 9,000 square feet. The new own-ers told the the Planning and Zoning Com-mission that houses would start at$200,000.

Under the agreement, overnight streetparking would not be allowed. Councilmembers questioned the width of the roads,however Morris told them the streets wouldbe wide enough if there is no parking al-lowed on the streets.

In new business, the Commission (Md.)approved the first reading of an annexationrequest by Delmar Diner. A public hearingwill be held at the September joint councilmeeting but no vote will be taken if thecounty has not granted approval. The prop-erty already receives town sewer and islooking to connect to its water system.

Sussex County Council has chosen aPennsylvania consulting firm to shepherdthe county’s land-use plan through itsnext state-mandated update, which mustbe completed in a little more than a year.

The council, on Tuesday, Aug. 22, se-lected Urban Research and DevelopmentCorp. of Bethlehem, Pa., to coordinatethe review and update of the county’sland-use plan. That plan defines, amongother things, growth zones, land-use poli-cies and how development should pro-ceed in the county during the next fiveyears.

Delaware law mandates that all coun-ties and municipalities have a compre-hensive plan in place to guide land useand future development. Counties andmunicipalities must review their plansevery five years, and submit the plans tothe state for approval.

Sussex County adopted its current

land use plan in December 2002; thestate of Delaware approved it in January2003. That plan expires in late 2007.

Council members praised Urban Re-search, which has performed similarwork in numerous Maryland and Penn-sylvania counties, adding that the firm’sexperience and philosophy will benefitSussex County and its residents in theform of a complete and professionalblueprint for land use.

“I believe this firm best represents theinterests of Sussex County,” said Coun-cilman Vance C. Phillips, who made themotion to select Urban Research and De-velopment.

Urban Research and Development wasone of six consulting firms that submit-ted proposals to aid the county in itsland-use plan update. A selection com-mittee of various county officials, led byadministrative assistant Hal Godwin, in-

terviewed four of those candidates, andthen ranked the candidates based on theirqualifications. From that list, two firmsmade presentations to county council onTuesday morning, and the winning candi-date was selected.

Council’s selection of Urban Researchand Development sets into motion a se-ries of events, which will unfold in thecoming weeks andmonths. Now that aconsultant has beenselected, county of-ficials in the next 30days will negotiate acontract with thefirm. That agree-ment will define thescope of work to beperformed, as wellas establish fees forthe consultant’swork.

As soon as a for-mal contract is inplace, the consultantwill hold a meetingwith the county’sPlanning & ZoningCommission. Fol-lowing that meeting,the review of thecurrent plan, as wellas the collection ofdata and other materials for a new plan,will commence.

The consultant will schedule a series

of public meetings this fall throughoutSussex County to receive public input onthe plan, before a draft plan is written inearly 2007. That draft then will be re-viewed by county and state officials forcomments, and then presented to thepublic in final hearings with the Planning& Zoning Commission and CountyCouncil next summer.

The Planning &Zoning Commissionis expected to makea recommendationon the plan at thatpoint, and then for-ward the documentto county councilfor its final ap-proval.

“We have adeadline that, be-lieve it or not, isfast approaching,”Godwin said afterthe council’s selec-tion. “I am thankfulthe council hasmade a decision sothat we and ourconsultant can nowtackle the task athand. I am confi-dent this processwill yield a plan for

sound and orderly land use, one that willmaintain and improve the quality of lifewe all enjoy here in Sussex County.”

The Delaware Solid Waste Authority(DSWA) announced that on Monday, Aug.21, it welcomed its 10,000th Curbside Re-cycling customer. Judith Maness of Re-hoboth called into the Delaware SolidWaste Authority’s Citizens Response Lineto sign up for the statewide program,which expanded into Sussex County onJuly 1.

On the afternoon of Aug. 24, DSWARecycling coordinator Jason Nicholsondelivered Maness her curbside materialsalong with a gift basket from DSWA toshow their appreciation.

Rich Von Stetten, senior manager of re-cycling said, “DSWA was elated to havethe 10,000th customer in place and is hop-ing to see that number double in the nottoo distant future.”

DSWA’s curbside recycling program,which began in 2003 and is now availableto all Delaware residents, is a voluntaryprogram, which DSWA provides at a nom-inal fee. Each customer is provided with abin for glass containers, and different col-ored bags to collect newspaper, junk mail,narrow neck plastic bottles and cans.

By Tony E. Windsor

A former area minister and his wife arerealizing a 35-year dream as they embarkon a mission in Mexico.

Former Harvest Christian Church pastorRandy Barr and his wife, Sandra, are leav-ing their home in Lombard, Ill., to live inan area of Mexico that was made famousin the 1963 Richard Burton and ElizabethTaylor movie, “Night of the Iguana.” TheBarrs will make their home in Puerto Val-larta, Mexico, where they will develop afeeding center and Bible training ministryfor children, eventually opening a clinicand dental office.

Barr said that the area he and his wifewill be living in is a very poverty strickenarea of Mexico, butironically, only a fewshort minutes fromone of the world’smost popular andluxurious touristsdestinations.

“I came out toPuerto Vallartaahead ofSandra,”Barr said. “Ihave been scoutingout some propertylocations and evalu-ating the needs inthe area. We willstart a feeding pro-gram with 200 chil-dren and help toopen the door to ex-posing the childrento the Bible andhelping get themmedical and dentalcare. This is a mis-sion that is very ex-citing for Sandra andI and something we have prayed about for35 years.”

Barr said that Puerto Vallarta was a“sleepy little fishing village” before Holly-wood director John Houston shot “Nightof the Iguana” on location in the 1960s.Once the movie came out, the island be-came a huge tourist attraction.

Barr said, however, that like a lot ofMexico, the more high-end areas are notrepresentative of the mass of the PuertoVallarta population. With 250,000 people,the city still has significant poverty, in-cluding “street children” who roam thestreets, many addicted to crack or workingas prostitutes.

The Barrs have joined forces with long-time friends, Lee and Carol Short, whothrough their non-profit organization,VIDA Internacional, established a two-year video Bible school for Hispanic lead-ers. The video has been distributed to hun-dreds of localities in 20 Spanish-speakingnations.

“Together we will work under the Mex-ican not-for-profit organization, Fuentes deVIDA,” Barr said. “We will focus on de-

veloping 500 Bible schools in Mexico andthen expand southward as the Lord directs.The needs of the Mexican people aregreat; the opportunity for ministry is limit-less.”

Randy Barr came to Seaford and be-came Harvest Christian Church’s first pas-tor when it was opened in 1984. He re-mained at the leadership of Harvest Christ-ian Church for eight years and also servedas principal at Epworth Christian School.

When he left Seaford in 1992,to pastora church in Illinois, Tom Borowski tookover the pastor position at Harvest Christ-ian Church. In the next few years, thechurch would grow and now has a newhome near Oakels Drive, south of Seaford.

Barr feels great appreciation for TomBorowski and hiswife for taking theleadership at thechurch and leavinghim feeling comfort-able with the futureof Harvest ChristianChurch.

“The people atHarvest ChristianChurch are wonder-ful, caring peopleand my family and Icertainly enjoyed thetime we spent inSeaford and miss themany friends wehave back there,” hesaid. “I will alwaysremain appreciativeand grateful to Tomand Kim Borowskifor accepting theleadership at Harvestand especially theway they have caredabout the church and

helped it grow. I greatly appreciate theirfaithfulness.”

After leaving Harvest Christian Church,Barr was pastor at Fountain of LifeChurch in Lombard, Ill. During his firstyears as pastor at the church he led thecongregation as they purchased a formeruniversity technical training center andconverted it into a 35,000-square foot ele-mentary school. Later the church added asanctuary and opened a pre-school at thechurch complex.

Barr has also maintained a dedication tophysical fitness and his weight lifting tal-ents have earned him many local and na-tional titles. At 5 feet 10 inches and weigh-ing 179 pounds, the 56-year-old recentlycompeted in the World Natural Powerlift-ing Federation World Bench Press andDead Lift championships, held in Reno,Nevada. He bench-pressed 380 pounds inthe 50- to 60-year-old masters division,setting a new world record.

This broke his previous world recordlift of 375, which he set during a qualify-ing meet in Lancing, Mich., last summer.He had hoped to break 400 pounds at the

Reno championships.Barr’s accomplishments at weight lift-

ing are made even more significant by thefact that as a young man he broke hisneck. Then in 1997, Barr suffered a heartattack and underwent open-heart, bypasssurgery.

He plans to be back in competition inthe World Natural Powerlifting Federationmeets next year where he hopes to press400 pounds.

Barr said that a friend once told himthat he should always remember that hisstrength is a gift from God. “He said,‘Randy, God has made you strong,’” Barr

said. “Well, if God’s given me a gift, thenI should use it, even if it is something assimple as lifting weights.”

Barr’s new ministry in Mexico is some-thing his former Fountain of Life Churchis supporting as one of its mission pledges.He also hopes others will get involvedthrough financial support and possibly alsovisiting the region to do volunteer workwith the ministry.

Any churches, businesses or individualswho would like to support the Barr’s newPuerto Vallarta mission can do so by con-tacting Fountain of Life Church, 25361Glen Park Road, Lombard, IL 60148.

From sea to shining sea,people are fun to watch

On our train trip to the West Coast andback, my daughter and I saw truly breath-taking scenery. Lovely green farms,woods and wetlands in Wisconsin, rollingplains in North Dakota and strange, Dr.Seussian hills in Montana. The RockyMountains, which even to someone usedto the gasoline engine looked like some-thing we would not be able to surmount,the amazing Columbia River Gorge and ofcourse Mt. Hood, which towers over Port-land like a watchful parent.

We enjoyed surprisingly good food inthe train’s dining car, got to take showersin our sleeping car and were served com-plimentary cookies at bedtime.

All wonderful, unforgettable experi-ences. Not to mention the week we spentwith our son and his girlfriend in Portland,where we, and my husband, who flewacross the country to join us, indulged infine food and drink, museums, shopping,movies and just being together.

But all of that does not tell the full storyof our two-week vacation. There wassomething else, something that will keep uslaughing for years to come: the people wewere able to observe during our journey.

Our log of interesting characters startsin Washington, D.C., even before weboarded the train. A woman, sitting nearus in the waiting room, caught our eyewhen she suddenly awoke and stretchedout to smack the man sitting several seatsaway from her. “Hey, what time does thistrain leave?” she asked.

When she did not like his answer, shestopped several passersby, to ask them thesame question. Finally, she jumped fromher seat and ran off in the direction of an-other waiting room. She did not return andwhen we boarded the train, her lone pieceof luggage was sitting where she had left it.

On the train, sitting just across the aislein our coach seat to Chicago, was a manwith the most interesting hairdo I had everseen. It was a comb-over of magnificentproportions, starting behind his ear, nearthe nape of his neck, traveling up to hiscrown and wrapping around his head. Healso had long hair, reaching below hisshoulders, all stiffly set in place. I keptwaiting for the bumps and rocks of thetrain to dislodge the whole arrangement,but it held firm, even while he slept.

When we dined that night, our tablepartners were a doctoral student studying

viruses at the University of Pennsylvaniaand an actuary from Washington, D.C.,who was a self-proclaimed expert in alter-native healings. That combination madefor interesting conversation.

We first noticed The Professor when heran into a wall in the waiting room in theChicago station. Nattily dressed in a pinstripe suit and beads, he was examininghis environs when he misjudged the near-ness of the wall and slammed into it, reel-ing back into the room but keeping hisfooting. We saw him several times afterthat, as his berth was just a few roomsdown from ours in the sleeping car, anddubbed him The Professor because helooked so much like a teacher of Englishor maybe anthropology.

We actually met the Mysterious Couple,who, it turned out, lied to us about their des-tination and, I am convinced, about their re-lationship. They claimed to be father anddaughter — really?

Then there was the Lady with the WhitePocketbook, who complained loudly and of-ten. The toilet paper holder did not roll as itshould, her bed was not made up just right,she had to walk through the coach car to getto the dining car. We closed our door whenwe heard her talking.

On our way home, the train from Chica-go to Washington experienced a 10-hourdelay when tornadoes knocked trees ontothe tracks just outside Chicago. We wereback in coach for that leg of the journeyand in the 27 hours it took us to make a 17-hour journey, we heard many interestingcomments and conversations. But the best,and perhaps the single comment that wewill laugh about for years to come, camefrom the woman sitting in front of us, whowas headed to Baltimore to visit her daugh-ter and grandchildren. While our train saton the tracks, waiting for the trees to becleared, she rambled on about the ineffi-ciency of trains in general and that one inparticular. With salty language, she cursedAmtrak and its engineers and finally con-cluded with one grand declaration:

“I’m going to send my money back!”And, in case we didn’t catch it: “Yes in-

deed, I’m going to send my money back!”I wouldn’t send my money back for any-

thing. This train trip was worth every cent.

Eight students and two faculty mem-bers from Turkish colleges are visitingDelaware Tech from Tuesday, Aug. 29,through Thursday, Sept. 7, as part of athree-week tour of U.S. community col-leges. (Students will also visit HowardCommunity College in Columbia, Md.,and Northampton Community College inBethlehem, Pa.) Visiting students and fac-ulty members will be studying Americanculture and society and interacting withAmerican students as part of their tours.

For more than three years, DelawareTech has been participating in faculty andadministrative exchanges with Turkey aspart of the college’s International Educa-tion initiative. Last year, the first group ofDelaware Tech students traveled to Turkeyearning college credit for Honors Sociolo-gy as part of a study abroad program. Theprogram was repeated in June 2006.

In return, the college welcomes this as-sembly of Turkish students in an exchange— the first of its kind for Delaware Tech.Seven men and three women will be stayingwith Delaware Tech faculty, staff and stu-dents while touring all three campuses andvisiting local attractions such as Historic

New Castle and the Delaware beaches. Earlier this year, college president, Dr.

Orlando J. George Jr., was invited by Sec-retary of State Condoleezza Rice and Sec-retary of Education Margaret Spellings tothe U.S. University Presidents Summit onInternational Education in recognition ofthe college’s International Education ini-tiatives.

“We realize that the need to forge adeeper understanding among countries andsocieties has never been greater. Studentscan be valuable ambassadors as they ex-plore and learn in the spirit of friendship,”said George. “This is particularly true ofthe College’s Turkish exchange.”

According to Kim Gregor, collegewidecoordinator for International Education,“The relationships we are forging withTurkey through these faculty and studentexchanges, are the first step in fosteringunderstanding between the U.S. and Mus-lim countries. We hope that we can beginto build a bridge of understanding be-tween our two cultures.”

Not a day goes by that we’re not missing you,

It’s so hard to believe that we’re approaching year number two.

Taken from us so young Only God knows why, The pain was so great

all we could do was cry. What we wouldn’t give

to see and touch your face, But for that we’ll have to wait Another time, another place.

So Goodbye for now Our cherished one,

we’ll meet again someday when our time here is done .

What must I do to be saved?Acknowledge your sin and place your

trust in Christ. All who place their trust in

Christ in this way are adopted as God’s

children.

All have sinned and fall short of the

glory of God. — Romans 3:23

The wages of sin is death, but the gift

of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our

Lord. — Romans 6:23

God demonstrates His own love toward

us, in that while we were still sinners,

Christ died for us. — Romans 5:8

If you confess with your mouth the

Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that

God has raised him from the dead, you

will be saved. — Romans 10:9

MORNING STAR ✳ AUG. 31 - SEPT. 6, 2006 PAGE 27

InspirationGod, having in the past spoken to the fathers through

the prophets at many times and in various ways, has at theend of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he ap-pointed heir of all things, through whom also he made theworlds.

His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image ofhis substance, and upholding all things by the word of hispower, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the righthand of the Majesty on high; having become so much better than the angels, as hehas inherited a more excellent name than they have.

For to which of the angels did he say at any time, “You are my Son. Today have Ibecome your father?” and again, “I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me aSon?”

Again, when he brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angelsof God worship him.”

Of the angels he says, “Who makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame offire.”

But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter ofuprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom.

You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, hasanointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.”

Each year leaders at Beloit Col-lege in Beloit, Wisc., attempt tohelp their professors get a little in-sight into the culture and life of theentering freshmen.

To do so, they have developedthe Beloit College Mindset List.The list covers cultural benchmarksthat have surrounded the lives ofthese young men and women.

This year’s list has just arrived andchances are some of the entries will makeyou feel old. For example, college fresh-men have never known of a Soviet Union,have only known domestic airlines to bebankrupt companies, have only ever expe-rienced one Germany, and have alwaysknown DNA evidence as acceptable incourt.

For today’s freshman, Google is a verb,text messaging is their email, and realityTV shows have always existed.

TV stations have never ended thebroadcast day with the National Anthem,“mailing” seldom requires a stamp, andvirtual pets have been fed and watered tokeep them from cyber-death. On and on itgoes.

If you are like me, you think “Wow,life moves so fast and never ceases tochange.” It’s no wonder for years we’vebeen quoting the axiom, “The only thingthat never changes is change itself.” Saidanother way, “You can’t stand still, be-cause life isn’t going to.”

With change comes uncertainty, andthat is why every generation, yes “every”generation eventually comes to a satura-tion point where they resist any furtherchange.

We only have so much emotional andfunctional flexibility inside of us. Some-where we want something that we cancount on.

It’s here I have good news in the midstof uncertainty. In Malachi 3:6, God said tothe prophet “I, the Lord, do not change.”In this frenetic world, God never changes.

When it seems you can’t count on any-thing else, you can count on God.

When we talk of God not changing, weare referring to his character. It is the verycenter of his nature that is dependable andtrustworthy.

He has always and will always loveyou (and all humanity). He is forever holyand blameless. His perfection has neverand will never wane.

What a solace to know there is a solidrock we can stand upon when the stormsstart howling in our personal lives.

When the MRI, or the IRS, or the FBIbrings unexpected news, you’ve alwaysgot GOD to rely on.

The longer I am alive the less ashamedI am to admit my own weakness within ashifting and uncertain world.

If my survival and success is basedupon my ability to process, adjust, andconquer over the difficulties of my life onmy own, I’m history.

But if indeed there is one that I canturn to no matter what this new day holds,then I can feel safe and secure.

So the next time your nine-year-old hasto show you how to use the remote; thenext time the evening news sounds like re-ports from a foreign planet; or the nexttime the waves of unexpected difficulty hityour own life, remember there is a trust-worthy God who is right by your side.

By his help you can sleep in peacetonight.

Except for the beatings, childhood was a good timeI cannot help sometimes but

journey back in my mind to thetime that I spent in school. It al-ways ends up being a nostalgic tripand one filled with a longing to re-turn to those carefree days. But, thereality is those days were not thatgreat.

I mean it was wonderful to beyoung, but there was also a certainamount of pain in being young aswell. As a teenager I seemed tohave a knack for being the leastlikely to succeed.

It is pretty bad when your typingteacher predicts that within the next 20years you will most likely be in a halfwayhouse. Oh well. I can’t blame her.

As my father would say, “It’s how youcarry yourself, boy.” I guess I didn’t carrymyself very well.

But one thing is for sure: My teachersnever had a problem being up front andhonest with me. Like the first day ofschool in the 11th grade.

My science teacher looked at me with agreat big smile and announced beforeeveryone in my entire junior classroomhow wonderfully my face had cleared upover the summer. Geez, I didn’t realizethat my ache problem was so noticeable. Ithought I was the only person who thoughtI had spent my sophomore year in highschool with a face like a 20-pound chunkof scrapple.

You see, it was my demeanor in theclassroom that led my teachers to savor

the opportunity to say something that theyknew would put me on the defense.

But, ever since I was a little boy goingto Crisfield Elementary # 1, I knew that nomatter how disrespectful I became, theteachers were still ultimately in charge.

It didn’t seem like it at the time, butdeep down I knew this to be the case.

I can remember my fifth grade teachertelling our class how my father had givenher a great deal of assurance that I wouldbehave in her class.

One day when she was addressing adiscipline problem in the classroom, sheexplained to the class how wonderful itwas to have parents like Tony’s who wereso supportive.

She proudly stated, “Tony’s father toldme that if he misbehaves in class I canheat him, and when he gets home he’llbeat him again.”

Well now, that’s a real encourager if Iever heard one. It certainly encouraged menot to misbehave in the classroom. Back inthose days parents were not scared to beat

their children. I know it is not politically correct to

talk about beating a child. I mean, lookingback, I guess I was being “disciplined,”but when it was happening there was nodoubt in my mind that Dad was beatingme! But, I will I say once again, as I al-ways do, I was not abused; I was just de-serving.

One thing is for sure, there was never aquestion in my mind who was in charge inmy house. That never changed up throughthe day Dad died.

I guess I should change the subject be-fore some social psychologist gets the im-pression that my father was an abuser. But,I’ll tell you the truth, if anyone had cometo my father and told him he could notbeat us, I’m afraid they would have gottenbeaten too. Daddy didn’t play.

I guess looking back on being a young-ster there are things I miss. I miss not hav-ing to pay bills, buy groceries, buy clothes,

do dishes, vacuum the house or having tohave my heart checked periodically tomake sure it’s still beating. I mean, whereelse can you have a woman cook yourmeals, wash your clothes and then still bewilling to pick your head with a lice combbefore you go to bed each night?

Childhood is a time in life when youcan run around the yard with nothing onbut an old pair of shorts (that used to be apair of slacks before you wore a hole inthe knees) and sweat beads around yourneck the size of a Christmas wreath, andnot he arrested for vagrancy.

I guess when I really think about it,growing up as a child was pretty good af-ter all.

All except for the time that I got myhead stuck in a sewer drain grate. But,that’s a story for another time.

I’ll tell you the truth, ifanyone had come to myfather and told him hecould not beat us, I’mafraid they would have

gotten beaten too. Daddydidn’t play.

These should be those “lazy, hazy,crazy days of summer” that the old happytune sings about. But as the season comesto its all too untimely end, the only lyricthat applies these days is the “crazy” part.

It’s impossible not to notice the high-ways clogged with traffic – perhaps fromthose driving to late summer vacations orgoing back to college – or the storesbuzzing with shoppers who look anythingbut relaxed. Maybe these are signs of thetimes but I wish it weren’t so.

Gourmet magazine takes a stab at mak-ing dinnertime a little less hectic with aselection of really tasty dishes that requireno cooking. Two favorites are below.

It’s a tiny umbrella for what seems likea heavy downpour but every little bithelps!

Chicken And Watercress Salad WithHoisin Vinaigrette

and1/2 ounces), peeled, thinly sliced 2 green onions, coarsely chopped 1/2 cup hoisin sauce 1/4 cup vinegar 1/4 cup peanut oil 2 tablespoons water 1 tablespoon oriental sesame oil 2 bunches fresh watercress 2 purchased roasted chicken, cooled,

shredded (about 8 cups) 3 yellow bell peppers, thinly sliced

Finely chop ginger and 2/3 of onions inprocessor. Add next five ingredients; blenduntil smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

The Delaware Red Hat Society mem-bers Web site is growing fast. In lessthan five months the site is host to 62members and 201 postings by thosemembers, said B. J. Young, Lewes, whois in charge of the Web site. Any officialRed Hat member can join by contactingYoung at bjy324@netzero.net and com-pleting a registration form.

“I check each member to be sure thatthey are an official member of the RedHat Society which is the reason for theregistration form,” Young said. “I alsomoderate the Web ste for correct infor-mation postings.”

The site is primarily for DelawareRed Hat chapter members to share infor-mation.

Young has created this site to be usedas a open forum of communicationthroughout Delaware and the surround-ing states. It is free to join and free forpostings. By joining, a Red Hatter willbe able to access the latest and most cur-rent Red Hat chapter events inDelaware and in surrounding states ofNew Jersey, Maryland and Pennsylva-nia.

Young invites all Red Hat Women to

visit the Web site. There is a calendarfor listing special events, and sharingphotos.

“I embrace the concept of a total in-formation network,” she said. “Commu-nication is the key to all Red Hat funeverywhere.”

This Web site is not intended to re-place the official Red Hat Society Website, she added. That Web site iswww.redhatsociety.com

Young recently hosted a “hoot” at theSpirit of Philadelphia. There were 400Red Hat women there from Delawareand the surrounding states.

“I will be planning future events fromtime to time and everyone who belongsto the site will be well informed,” shesaid.

Her latest project is as a team mem-ber for the Red Hat’s Off In Celebrationof Lewes Delaware’s 375 Anniversary.Red Hat members from four states willvisit Lewes on Sept.18 for shopping,lunch, teas and historical tours.

Last year the Jazz Funeral was dedicatedto those impacted by Hurricane Katrina

Preparations are underway tocelebrate the end of the BethanyBeach summer resort season withthe annual Bethany Beach JazzFuneral on Labor Day Monday,Sept. 4, at 5:30 p.m.

The Jazz Funeral is a light-hearted celebration that allows allthose who attend to participateand become part of the parade.

The 2006 Bethany Beach JazzFuneral is a free “Labor DayFarewell to Summer” parade andcelebration.

The Bethany Beach Jazz Fu-neral is somewhat similar to theJazz Funerals that are held inNew Orleans that celebrate thelives of those who have passedaway.

In Bethany Beach, the JazzFuneral is celebrated each LaborDay to mark the passing of thesummer resort season inDelaware's Quiet Resorts.

At the Jazz Funeral, spectatorsgo to the Bethany Beach Board-walk on Labor Day Monday andcan join the funeral procession ofmourners that is accompanied bytwo Dixieland Jazz Bands.

Mourners carry a casket with amannequin representing “Sum-mer of 2006” to its final restingplace at the Boardwalk Band-stand.

Part of the Jazz Funeral festiv-ities will be a series of brief re-flections and recollections byBethany residents, politicos andbusiness people.

Last year the Jazz Funeral wasdedicated to those impacted byHurricane Katrina, especially theresidents of New Orleans.

At last year’s Bethany BeachJazz Funeral there was a memori-al service to honor New Orleansand representatives of the Ameri-can Red Cross collected funds forhurricane relief.

The Jazz Funeral is based onthe Jazz Funeral tradition of New

Orleans, where “Funerals withmusic predated the start of Jazz,and they continued with the con-temporary New Orleans Street-Funk style of brass bands,” ac-cording to long time Jazz Funeralparticipant Kirk Rankin.

The Jazz Funeral has becomea tradition in Bethany Beach andcelebrates its 21st anniversarythis year.

This end of summer celebra-tion was founded by Moss Wagn-er, a former Bethany Beach towncouncil member and businessmanwho owned and operated theBethany Beach Ice Cream Parlor

and the Moss Boss’ Ice CreamParlor.

Wagner’s original idea was tohave a party to celebrate the clos-ing of the summer resort season“...in a town where there is a def-inite beginning and end to thesummer season.” Wagner washonored at last year’s 20th yearevent.

Activities will be held at thenorth end of the Bethany BeachBoardwalk.

Anyone interested in helpingout with the event or for generalinformation, may call and leave amessage at 302-537-1585.

‘New’ Bulldogs are quickerand much younger in ‘06By Pat Murphy

The 2006 Bulldogs will have only fourseniors in their starting 11 on both sidesof the ball in a transition season after go-ing 8-3 in 2005. That included a 41-22first round loss to Concord. Gone to grad-uation are huge linemen and defensivebacks: Tykie Hill, Rodney Simmons, JoshByler, Anthony West, C.J. Cutsail, KyleJones and Tyler Schreiber .

“We are going to be completely differ-ent, quicker and that is the exciting partsaid five year coach Ed Manlove.

Delmar football team looksto improve upon 8-2 seasonBy Mike McClure

Last year the Delmar football team justmissed making the state playoffs. TheWildcats (8-2 overall, 4-2 conference)came within a point or two of making thestate tournament, something the Delmarfaithful would like to see the team do thisyear.

“8-2 is a good season. There aren’tmany years you wouldn’t do cart wheelsfor an 8-2 season as a coach,” said headcoach David Hearn, who is in his 16thyear at Delmar and 26th year overall ofcoaching. “The expectations are high forthis group because they came close. Theywant to do better.”

Gone from a year ago are graduatesJoe Holland (RB/DB), Austin McLain(RB/DB), Zack Keenan (RB/LB), BlairCarey (E/QB), Brian Conquest (RB/DT),and Paul Hudson (T/DE).

This year’s group included 90 players,over 100 with the middle school team re-cently joining the fray. A number of theninth and tenth graders gained some play-ing experience last season.

Hearn says he has an enthusiastic,hard working group of kids this year. Histeam has some holes to fill at key spotson offense (replacing 1,200-1,300 yardrusher Holland will be difficult). Fullbackand quarterback are the main offensivepositions the Wildcats have experience inentering the 2006 season.

The team’s returning players includeseniors Darren Collins (OT/LB), JensonDennard (RB/DB), Donald Poole (E/DE),Alan Preston (QB/LB) and juniors TaylorBallard (E/LB), Billy Cropper (T/DT),Gene Evans (T/DE), Kerry King (E/LB),

Lady Ravens look to returnto state hockey tourneyBy Mike McClure

The Sussex Tech varsity field hockeyteam is coming off its best season in headcoach Nancy Tribbitt’s 15 years of coach-ing the team. This year the Ravens, withfour returning seniors, look to advanceeven further in the state tournament.

“I saw a lot of good things and a lot ofthings we need to work on,” Tribbitt saidof her team’s pre-season play. She addedthat her team needs to get used to playingtogether and has to work on its communi-cation.

Sussex Tech went 11-4 in conferenceplay and 11-5 overall last season. Gonefrom that team are graduates Lauren Cor-rell (Salisbury University) and BethanyPavlik.

This season the Ravens are led by sen-iors Tiamia Black (line), Hope Cornell(link), Brittany Joseph (link), and KatieNennstiehl (back). The team’s other re-turning players include juniors LindsayDanz (line) and Ellen Rowe (line).

With a senior player at each position(line, middle, and back), Tribbitt expects

the seniors to help lead the way for theyounger players.

Tech’s newcomers include juniorsKylee Rickards (link) and Rhonda War-rington (link) and sophomores LaurenJoseph (line) and Sara Adams (line). “Iexpect them to step up. They’re workinghard,” Tribbitt said of the young players.“We want to make winning a habit.”

Tribbitt sees the Ravens’ speed as oneof its strengths, while inexperience is aconcern. She is looking for the team to bea contender in the Henlopen North withmaking it back to the state tournamentand going further in tournament play asits main goal.

Caesar Rodney and Cape Henlopenlook to be two of the teams to beat in thenorth. “There’s so much parody in thisconference. It’s a strong, strong confer-ence,” said Tribbitt.

The Ravens’ first conference game isSeptember 13 at Delmar.

“They’re (Delmar) just as strong if notstronger than they were last year. It willbe a test of how hard they (Tech) need towork,” Tribbitt added.

Laurel hockey team aimsfor berth in state tourneyBy Mike McClure

The Laurel High field hockey programhad 35 to 38 girls out for the JV and var-sity teams this pre-season, the highestnumber of players head coach MargoMorris has had out in her 12 years as theteam’s head coach. The Bulldogs are ledby four returning seniors who are lookingfor their first state tournament berth intheir final varsity season.

Morris, who is still looking for some-one to step up and serve as her assistantcoach, is pleased with the high number ofplayers out for the team. Last year theteam went 8-8 and was 18th or 19th inthe state (16 teams make the state tour-ney). Gone from a year ago are graduatesKrista Scott (all-conference), MirandaDickerson, Ashlyn Booth, and ChaniquaKellam.

This year’s seniors are Kristina Ward(all-conference), Kate Downes, KellyGordy, and Samantha Oliphant. Ward,Downes, and junior Kelsey Gordy are theteam’s captains.

“There’s some tremendous leadershipout there on that field,” said Morris. Mor-ris said her senior leaders have an intensi-ty and desire to win in their final seasonof high school hockey.

Also back from last season are juniorKristin Phillips and sophomore DemetraHammond. The Bulldogs have 19 playersback from last year’s JV and varsityteams.

The team’s newcomers include juniorsAbby Burris and Ashley Hubble andsophomores Diane Paul. Chelsea Espen-laub, and Tykia Briddell. Morris expectsfreshmen Jenna Cahall, Ashley Zarello(GK), Taylor Littleton, Kelsey Oliphant,and Alexis Oliphant to see time with boththe JV and varsity teams. Zarello is cur-

rently playing in the goal with Hammondcurrently out with a shoulder injury.

Morris is pleased with the talent of thestrong freshman class. She is looking forthose players to learn the game and theteam’s style of play.

“Once they learn that I feel like they’regonna step in at the varsity level and helpout with no problem at all,” Morris said.“We’re going to have to plug in withsome new and unfamiliar faces in keyspots.”

Laurel opens the season at CaesarRodney on September 12 before hostingWoodbridge on September 14.

Delmar field hockey team looks to build on last year’s success

By Mike McClure

The Delmar varsity field hockey team came within one win of advancing to the statechampionship game last season, posting a 16-2-1 record overall (11-1-1 in the confer-ence). While the team lost four senior starters to graduation, it returns a number of play-ers with varsity experience.

Delmar head coach Linda Budd, the team’s coach for 15 seasons, has been pleasedwith the shape her players were in during the pre-season in terms of conditioning.

Gone from last year are all-conference and all-state players Lauren Ellis (centerback), Erin Keenan (goalkeeper) and Leslie Lambrose (midfield) and midfielder Au-tumn Fischer. “These girls have some big shoes to fill,” Budd said.

Back from last year are seniors Caitlyn Twilley (midfield/back) and Erin Tingle for-ward/midfield); juniors Alison Bloodsworth (forward), Katie McMahon (forward), HaliRamey (forward), Megan Wilkerson (back); sophomore Lindsay Lloyd (midfield); andfreshman Mallory Elliott (midfield). The Wildcats have nine returning players (sevenstarters) from last season’s team. “I’ve got a really nice group,” said Budd.

Twilley, Tingle, and Bloodsworth are the team’s captains this year. “They bring somuch to the players. They’re very encouraging,” Budd said of the team’s leaders.

Delmar’s newcomers include juniors Brook Hearn (back), Haley Keenan (midfield),Carly Whaley (back), Emily Lietzan (forward) and sophomores Brittani Scott (midfield)and Shannon Wilson (goalie).

Lloyd will move to center mid, Wilkerson moves from right back to center back, andWilson takes over as the team’s goalie.

“I think this team has shown me that they’re so versatile that I can move them. Infield hockey you need to be versatile sometimes,” said Budd.

Budd sees her team’s unity, good work ethics, good attitudes, speed on the line, goodstick control, and good core of veteran players as its strengths. Lack of experience atkey positions is a concern.

“I think they’ll give everything they’ve got to hopefully be a competitive force,”Budd said. “The conference is so good and you never know each year. So far I’ve beenreally pleased. We need to work on the little things and work hard at practice.”

The Wildcats are looking to win the Henlopen South, advance to the state tourna-ment, and compete in all their games. Delmar opens the season at home againstPocomoke on September 9 before hosting Sussex Tech on September 13.

The center is expected to be sopho-more Gavin Parker who saw action in2005. On the offensive line with Parkerare junior Esmond Ennis, who did a goodjob in very limited action last year, sopho-more Tony Rubino and junior TyrellWhitney. Pass receivers are sophomoresDavid Albert, Josh Kosiorowski and jun-ior Cody Bristow.

Manlove says his team’s biggest liabil-ity will probably be depth with only 35 to37 total players on the team causing manyto come off the field after an offensive se-ries only to return seconds later on de-fense and at that many are the youngerplayers. Sophomore Tyler West could beone of these as he is listed as both a line-backer and fullback. Lloyd, Jones, Trim-ball, Passwaters, Ennis, and Bristow areamong the many players that will see ac-tion both ways.

In preseason Manlove says they havemoved the ball consistently, and havethrown the ball much more than in thepast. When asked if they plan to throwmore this year Manlove smiled and said“we’ll see.”

One offensive weapon the Bulldogshave is the strong right foot of kickerKyle Brown who, after missing his firstattempt as a freshman when called up tothe varsity in 2005, made 29 out of 34 at-tempts. The five misses were blocked.Brown attended a football kicking clinicthis summer so he figures to be a factorthis year in extra points and you can lookfor some field goals also.

The 2006 Bulldogs are a team in tran-sition, trying to get experience for theiryounger players without the pain of mis-

takes. Manlove still sees Indian River asthe team to beat in the South, and “Del-mar will be though as usual.”

The Bulldogs open their season onSeptember 8 with a game at Glasgow.Last year the Bulldogs beat Glasgow athome but got off to a shaky start theretwo years ago and lost after falling behindearly. Coach Ed Manlove and team areworking hard to see that doesn’t happenin 2006.

Returning experience and team quick-ness are two of the team’s strengths head-ing into the regular season. Hearn expectsleadership out of his veteran players (jun-iors and seniors).

“It’s almost like having two sets ofseniors,” Hearn said of the juniors.

New faces at key positions and depthare two concerns the coaches have at thispoint. Hearn is looking for the Wildcats tobe “ in the upper half of the divisionwhich should be very balanced and solidagainst outside competition.” He callsSmyrna balanced, Woodbridge a sleeper,

Delmar football continued Laurel and Indian River consistentlycoached teams, and is not sure what toexpect from Lake Forest and its newcoach.

Last year Delmar was hurt by its non-conference schedule when it came downto points. Only Dover, which the Wildcatsbeat, had a winning record. Because ofthis Hearn believes his team will have towin the Henlopen South in order to makethe state tournament.

The Wildcats open the season withroad games against non-conference foesBohemia Manor and St. Elizabeth beforehosting Dover in the home opener inweek three (Sept. 22).

“That (Dover) should be a real chal-lenge for us,” said Hearn. “It’s real im-portant for any team to start their seasonwith a win. We’d really like to get off to agood start.”

MORNING STAR ✳ AUG. 31 - SEPT. 6, 2006 PAGE 45

Since the Delmar High School foot-ball squad was the only Wildcat sportsteam in action last week, I made thetrip down to Salisbury Saturday towatch the Wildcats’ scrimmage Park-side High School. As usual most initialfootball scrimmages have three thingsin common: the temperature is alwaysaround 90 degrees, there is a lot ofhard hitting because this is the firstchance to hit someone who is not oneof your own teammates, and this wasthe case Saturday, but most of the hit-ting was carried out by the “Cats.”Parkside had the size and the numbersbut not the quickness or the speed, soit did give Coach Hearn a chance tosee most of his squad in action.

I did not get to watch the JVs in ac-tion, but from all reports, they did verywell also. Fortunately there were noinjuries of any serious nature.

This week there will be plenty ofaction and most of it at home as thefield hockey team hosts WashingtonHigh in a scrimmage on Wednesday at4 p.m. Then on Thursday (today), thefootball team is back in action with ascrimmage at home with James M.Bennett beginning at 6 p.m. In be-tween all of this, the soccer team willhold three scrimmages that are not list-ed on the schedule before they opentheir regular season against St. Mark’sat home on Saturday, September 9, at11 a.m.

The volleyball team does not begintheir season until September 12, andthe cross-country team does not have acoach yet; their season which is sup-posed to start September 13 is in jeop-ardy at this time.

ASSISTS AND ERRORS- I knowthat Parkside High School plays theirhome football games at WicomicoCounty Stadium, and it’s a good thingbecause their fields at their school areonly fit for one thing, practice. Theyhave stands that hold probably 50 peo-ple on one side of the field, very littleparking, and you need a guide to findthe field. I know it’s hard to find teamsto scrimmage Delmar, let alone getthem on our regular schedule, but

Parkside High is the“pits.”

I have been wanting to talk aboutthis for the past year, but now that Ihave space, here it goes. Years agowhen there was only one high schoolin Salisbury, Wicomico High, whosestudent enrollment was 5 to 10 timesthat of the smaller lower Delawareschools, they couldn’t wait to get themon their schedule, but since they nowhave three high schools and are as bigor a little bigger than the Delaware Di-vision II schools, they avoid us like theplague.

They will not even play theDelaware schools when they both haveopen dates, especially if there are anyEastern Shore of Virginia schoolsavailable.

What actually tickles me is thateveryone who follows local highschool knows that the Henlopen Con-ference is a much tougher conferencethan the Md. Bayside Conference, but,like all small schools, they have theirbad years, especially after a good runand lose a lot of their good players andhave to rebuild.

For example, Delmar in 2000, 01,and 02 won 35 straight games and 3state championships, and if the Mary-land coaches had been paying attentionwhen the Wildcats lost 22 players afterthe 2002 season, they could havejumped at the chance to put them ontheir schedule and had a good chanceof winning a game because the Wild-cats had to rebuild, and only won 4games in those two years, but it’s toolate now as that boat has sailed. Try2008.

To end this on another happy note,Bobby Causey who was one of Del-mar’s better golfers a few years agohad not been playing as much as heused to until a couple of years agowhen his son became interested in thegame, and Bobby got back in the sport.Last week he won the second flightchampionship down at Green Hill.Congratulations Robert; however, Iwill still take those 2 strokes a hole,but I get to pick the golf course.

DELMARVA AUTO ALLEY

The Delaware Motorsports Complexcontinues with hot action every weekend.Though the season is nearing the end,plentiful racing action has been non-stop.

The half-mile oval all month has hadsome supreme, tight racing action everySaturday night. The track has been heavy,fast speeds and a lot of wheel to actionand last-lap passes.

The Advance Auto Body URC Sprintusually visits at least once a month. Aug.19, had a great show of around 30 cars tocompete for the 25 spots to race. CurtMichael of Ocean View has almost cap-tured the 2006 Championship with consis-tent finishes. The last visit Michael startedforth, but to reach the front, he had to dosome fancy reeling in on the leader.Rookie Brook Weibley quickly took thelead on the start from Josh Weller andleading for almost the entire 25-lap fea-ture. Michael finally was about to reachWeibley but lap cars were also a factor.Michael wind through the front to take thelead just seconds ahead of Weibley at thestart / finish line. Last lap passes reallymake for spectacular finishes.

Other action on the clay oval has been

a wild and crazy time. This year has hadquite a few drivers switching from theirregular race division to one or the othercrate classes; whether it be the AC DelcoTSS Modified, or the TSS Late Model(former Street Modified). Quite a fewdrivers have come from Micros Sprints.

Ross Robinson started the season withhis first year in a crate late model. So farhe has won seven features. Other newdrivers to that class are, Travis Justice,who had never driven anything, but hasbeen a contender from his start after theseason got started. Billy Mellon camefrom Mod Lite Jr. and Mod Lite class tostart driving this class. Go-kart driverKevin Scott, Jr. has been consistent withtop five and 10 most features. Scottpicked up his first career win a couple ofweeks ago; and it was his birthday, too.What a present to give yourself?

Current point’s leader is Joe Warren forthe crate late model division. Warrenstarted this year after coming from ModLites and has been one of the strongestcontenders against the new and regulardrivers. The class has grown all season,just as the AC Delco TSS Modifieds werewhen they started three years ago. The crate mods have been steady with at least

20 or more cars each week. The AC Delco has had new comers

such as Ryan Walls, former TUSA Nation-al Champion, be a really strong contenderthe last half of the season to rack up fivewins thus far. John Wynn is new, MikeWhite, Herbie Hemple and Eric Vent, allare new from micros or karts or neverdriven anything. That is one nice thingabout the two crate classes, as it givesdrivers a chance to race on a lower scaleof cost and maintenance then the high endof super late and big block mods. Also,the crate programs are becoming verypopular in other tracks and states.

Late model action has a rookie thatstarted this season off with a bang andstill continues to be a force. Gary Simpsonhas been a steady, almost top-five racerevery week. Simpson has been knockingon a victory each week and finally got hisfirst win in the Super Late Models on

Aug. 19. One other driver that is not newbut fairly new with a few years only. Don-ald Lingo, Jr. has been on a roll with threestraight wins in a row July 29, Aug. 5, andAug 12. Lingo has hung right in therewith the top dogs and is currently leadingin points over 10-time champion KennyPettyjohn. The points are still very close.If he can pull it off, it will be his firstchampionship.

Matt Jester is new and only rookie inthe big block modifieds. Jester also had tosit out quite a few races waiting for themotor to be repaired in the Clear Farmsno. 62. But since his return in AugustJester has racked up two wins.

The Mod Lites class has dwindleddown a bit with many switching to thecrate classes due to cost issues and cheap-er to run the crate. But the racing has beensome great action. The top dogs battle

“Sacrifice is the true measure of gen-erosity.”

See you in the Stars.

“Must be friendly, courteous, and greetcustomers with a smile.” Doesn’t seem asthough that is asking too much. Such isthe wording (or close to it), of an adver-tisement in the entrance to a large firmthat is seeking additional help.

Friendly, courteous and with a smile issomething that most of us subconsciouslyexpect from a salesperson. This is not tosay that it is the attitude we meet everytime we enter a store.

Sometimes we are met with a blanklook of boredom, or a non-intelligiblegrunt by a person who is deemed thesalesperson. Such is life in the year of2006.

The first thing I thought of when I readthe sign in the window of the large store,that is part of a major enterprise that dealswith the public every day, was how muchgrocery stores have changed.

Here in Laurel, and in every othersmall town and every large city, there wasa time when the sales clerks, stock menand women, butchers, cashiers and own-ers, knew practically every person whoentered the store.

Then merger became the name of thegame, especially when supermarkets hitthe local scene.

The small grocer was eventually forcedout of business and along with their de-mise the entire world of grocery shoppingchanged.

For years and years, individuallyowned grocery stores were on practicallyevery corner, small town or large city.

A housewife would telephone her orderto the grocer and in short order the gro-ceries would be delivered to her door by ayoung man who was usually the son of thegrocer.

One of the most loved and special de-livery people here in Laurel was DaleMarvil, deliveryman for Spicer’s Marketon Market Street.

Dale knew everyone in this town ofours, every street and who lived in whathouse.

His pride and joy was the bicycle herode all over town as he delivered gro-ceries for George Spicer.

Dale was one of many that through theyears delivered groceries to the door of

the housewife. He took great pride in whathe did, and was loved and respected by allwho knew him.

At the larger grocery stores in Laurel,there were young men who were knownas “bag boys.” Their job was to help thecashier bag the groceries for the customer,and then assist by taking the groceries tothe vehicle of the customer and placingthem in the trunk of the automobile.

The cashier and the bag boy knew allof the customers by name, knew whichgroceries and brands were preferred andhow to place the groceries in the trunk ofthe automobile.

The cashier always had a smile, afriendly word, and made shopping a joy.

Bag boys are a thing of the past, for themost part a friendly cashier is fadingaway. Far too often, the customer is greet-ed with an unintelligible grunt, the gro-ceries are almost thrown into the plasticbag, and the customer is required to placethe bags in the shopping cart and transportthem to the vehicle.

And so, it was with great interest that Iread the requirements for those who wereapplying for the job of cashier.

It will be most interesting to see justhow many really do greet the customerwith a friendly smile, are courteous andfriendly.

Bag boys are a thing of the past, I ad-mit that. But, being friendly and courteousnever goes out of style.

A pleasant “good morning” makes theday go surprisingly bettor for both thecashier and the customer.

Next time you shop, try pleasantlygreeting the cashier. Who knows, youmight change her outlook and your ownwithout even realizing what you havedone.

And, “have a nice day.”

Patients will often receive letters of de-nial from their insurance company. Thereare two reasons that care may be denied.The first is that the particular service wasnot covered. This can happen in two ways.

One of those ways is related to a serv-ice that is usually not covered by any in-surer. Cosmetic surgery is an example. Ro-gaine for baldness is an example. Otherdrugs such as Viagra are examples.

In addition certain conditions requireseparate insurance. They are not coveredby medical insurance. Dental problems fallinto this category. Mental health treatmentfalls into this category.

In either one of these circumstances,the denial will not likely be overturned. Ifit is not a covered service, it cannot bepaid for. An appeal of the denial is notlikely to be successful.

The second way has to do with a serv-ice that is covered. However, the insurer

may feel that it is not medically necessary.In those cases, they will deny the service.

Most of these situations are not clear-cut. It may be obvious that it should becovered. However, the insurer will say thatit is not. These are the stories that makethe news.

In these instances, there is always anopportunity to appeal the decision. In factmost insurers have several levels of ap-peal. Unfortunately, there are a lot of pa-tients who do not appeal.

Suppose an insurance company denies100 cases. Assume that half of the peopleappeal the denial. Then assume that all ofthose people get the service paid for afterappeal. That still means that the insurancecompany does not have to pay the bill forthe other half.

The lesson here is that the appeal of adenial is important. There are times whenthe insurer will expect to pay the bill onappeal. However, if they do not get the ap-peal, they will not have to overturn the de-nial. They will not have to pay the bill.

You should also exhaust every layer of

appeal. For example the first appeal oftenjust goes to the Medical Director.

A second level of appeal will usually goto a panel of specialists in the area of theproblem. They will likely look at things a

little differently.It is important to remember that filing

appeals is a part of healthcare. If you feelthat your service should have been paidfor, do not hesitate to do so.

HealthPatients should appeal those denied claims

PSA screenings September 28Nanticoke Health Services will provide

PSA screenings on Friday, Sept. 28. Theblood tests will be offered at the Nanti-coke’s Cancer Care Center * 1st Floor, ad-jacent to the hospital from 8 a.m. till 5p.m.

The fee for the test will be $5. Resultswill be mailed approximately two weeksafter the event.

Prostate cancer is the most frequentlyoccurring cancer in men. Between 1980and 1990, prostate cancer incidence in-creased 65 percent. It is believed that thisincrease was the result of improved earlydetection.

There is expected to be a further in-crease related to the use of the prostatespecific antigen blood test. Prostate specif-ic antigen (PSA) is a substance that is pro-duced by the prostate gland.

Men normally have a small amount ofthis substance in the blood. PSA levelsdiffer according to age and tend to rise af-ter the age of 60. PSA can be affected byseveral conditions in the prostate such asthe normal enlargement in the prostate,which occurs with aging. Infection or in-flammation and surgery to the prostate canalso cause increased levels. There is nospecific level of PSA that tells whetherprostate cancer is present; however thehigher the level, the more likely it is thatcancer may be developing.

Nanticoke Memorial Hospital encour-ages men over the age of 50 to take ad-vantage of this service. If you are 40-years-old and at high risk of developingthis cancer you are also encouraged toparticipate. African-American men are athigh risk for developing prostate cancer,as are men who have a family history ofthe disease.

This September, Americanscan pay tribute to the victims andheroes of 9/11 by saving livesthrough blood donations andbone marrow registration.

The first “Spirit of America”Blood and Marrow Drive inDover will be held on Monday,Sept. 11, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.at the Dover Downs Rollins Con-ference Center.

Three local organizations —The Blood Bank of Delmarva,the National Marrow Registryand Dover International Speed-way — have teamed up and set agoal to recruit 200 blood donorsand bone marrow registrants.

“We hope this special bloodand marrow drive will be thestart of a tradition to rememberthe victims of 9/11 and those whocontinue to put their lives on theline every day to protect the citi-zens of America,” said GaryCamp, director of public relationsfor Dover International.

The event in Dover will hap-pen in conjunction with 13 otherNASCAR tracks across the coun-try on 9/11, thanks to theNASCAR Foundation, the Hen-drick Marrow Program and theJimmie Johnson Foundation, allof which launched The NASCARFoundation Blood and MarrowDrive.

“There is no greater feelingthan knowing you are making adifference in someone’s life,”said Karen James, Blood Bank ofDelmarva spokesperson.“Whether individuals give bloodor sign up for the marrow reg-istry, their efforts will be heroic

in someone’s eyes.” Dover Downs employee Bob

Spross said he plans to donate atthe Spirit of America drive. “Iknow how important it is for thelocal blood bank to have the sup-ply it needs for hospitals,” hesaid. “Giving blood is my way ofhelping our troops and anyoneelse who has a need for blood.”

Monica H. Weber, assistantvice president for marketing andpromotions at Dover Internation-al Speedway, said she’s been giv-ing blood since she was 18. “I doit because I know I’m helpingothers - all I’m giving up is mytime.”

Along with blood donations,individuals can also sign up forthe National Marrow Donor Pro-gram registry. “Every day, thou-sands of patients with life-threat-ening diseases that could be treat-ed with a marrow transplant aresearching the Registry for adonor,” said Alice Kaplan, re-cruitment supervisor for the Na-tional Marrow Donor Program.All it takes is a free cheek swabto join the registry.

Promoting healthy eatinghabits and increasing physical ac-tivity among children is the focusof a new partnership between theOwens Campus Child Develop-ment Center (CDC) at DelawareTech and Nemours Health & Pre-vention Services, a Newark-basednon-profit children’s health or-ganization.

At a “Summer Field Frenzy”held on Aug. 4, children and theirfamilies enrolled in the CDC en-joyed a variety of outdoor funand games.

They explored an inflatablebounce maze, participated in po-tato sack races and healthy foodrelay races, and enjoyed obstaclecourses, teamwork challenges,

and water activities. CDC staffershelped the children preparehealthy snacks like frozen bananapops topped with graham crackercrumbs, granola, coconut, orcrushed cornflakes.

The activities and snacks wereplanned following the guidelinesof Nemours’ new healthylifestyle theme, “5-2-1-AlmostNone!”

Five refers to the five servingsof fruits and vegetables that chil-dren should consume every day;two represents the total hours ofTV, video game, or computerscreen time per day; one hour perday is the recommended amountof physical activity for children;and almost none means children

should only consume almost nosugar-sweetened beverages.

The Owens Campus CDC isone of four early care and educa-tion centers in Delaware to bechosen as test sites for the “5-2-1-Almost None!” program.

The centers will help developand test ways to integrate materi-als and methods now being de-veloped by Sesame Workshop

and the University of Delawareinto their day-to-day operations.

“Nemours approached usabout piloting this new programto help teach children and theirfamilies healthy eating habits andincrease their physical activitylevels, and we were happy to bepart of it,” said Wendy Bernstein,Owens Campus department chairfor Early Childhood Education

and chief administrator of theCDC. “They have provided uswith funding for two years topurchase materials and provideteacher incentives as we imple-ment the program. We will offerfeedback to Nemours so they canfine-tune the program guidelinesbefore they roll it out to otherschools, child care facilities, andcommunity youth organizations.”

Three crows test positivefor deadly West Nile virus

Three dead wild crows collect-ed by the Delaware MosquitoControl Section during the firsthalf of August have tested posi-tive for West Nile virus followinganalyses by the Delaware PublicHealth Laboratory.

West Nile virus is a mosquito-borne disease capable of sicken-ing or even killing people andhorses. The three virus-positivecrows were found in or near thefollowing areas: Hockessin onAug. 7, Marydel on Aug. 8 andNew Castle on Aug. 14.

To date during 2006, no otherfindings of West Nile virus havebeen reported in Delaware, eitherfrom the Mosquito Control Sec-tion’s statewide network of 22sentinel chicken monitoring sta-tions, in about three dozen othersick or dead wild birds collectedby Mosquito Control, or in anyhumans or horses. Neither arethere any signs yet in Delaware

during 2006 of Eastern EquineEncephalitis (EEE) virus, anothermosquito-borne disease that alsoaffects humans and horses.

However, peak activity in themid-Atlantic region for both WestNile virus and EEE typically hap-pens from about the second weekin August through the secondweek in October, so occurrencesof these viruses in host wild birdsor vectoring mosquitoes couldstart to increase over the nextseveral weeks, with some trans-mission to people or horses pos-sible.

According to Mosquito Con-trol Administrator Dr. WilliamMeredith, the Mosquito ControlSection has responded to thesethree virus-positive bird resultsby increasing its mosquito popu-lation surveillance-and-monitor-ing activities in northern New

He has picked up right where heleft off last year. He is DelawareTeacher of the Year, Garrett Lydicof North Laurel Elementary Schooland he had an audience of LaurelDistrict Teachers and administra-tors in the palm of his hand at theteacher orientation at the highschool last week.

I also have heard that Lydic wasthe fourth place finisher for theUnited States Teacher of the Yearand that he could have very easilybeen the U.S. Teacher of the Year. Afterbeing introduced, he received a tremen-dous, long, standing ovation — a sure signof the respect and admiration they have forthis enthusiastic Laurel teacher. To thetune of “I’m a hard working man,” Garrettplayed a home video of himself in variousdegrees of doing nothing, to the delight ofhis audience.

Without consulting with Garrett I canalmost see his philosophy of life, or atleast part of it. It is “Don’t worry, be hap-py,” from the Bobby Ferrens song, and hedoes so much to share it with others.

It’s no wonder that all the young stu-dents at North Laurel love him. He makesthem all feel special and that’s a great ex-ample for us all!

A lot of people, well just about every-one, is asking when the roadway at thesouth end of Blades (Alternate 13) is go-ing to be opened.

Most of us never realized just howmuch we used that road. From what I hear,it will open in Sept. 12.

Now, how about a little Delmar Rail-road Café foolishness? State Rep. “Biff”Lee was in Delmar for his usual visit whenhe gave Don Robinson a cool ride home inhis open air Jeep.

Sure enough, Don had a quip for theGood Samaritan: “Biff, it must be an elec-tion year.”

I never realized what a good thing I haddone in my comments about Seaford resi-dent and DuPont retiree, Mr. FrankCaudill, until I started getting thank you’sover the last few days. One more thingabout Frank and I will leave him alone, af-ter all he holds the Guiness Book ofRecords for the most drains unplugged byone person in a career.

Hope Lodge #4, Masons in Laurel goesback to 1798. The first few years theywere under Maryland jurisdiction but havebeen under Delaware jurisdiction for 200years. They will be getting a historicalmarker at their lodge on 6th Street in thenear future. Their noble grand is ClarkSpicer.

Funny thing, my mom asked me theother day if I ever saw Seaford barberRichard Collison. Within minutes after Ileft her house, here was Dick walking hisdog in Seaford. I called Mom to tell herand she added, “You know your dadthought a lot of him.”

It got me to thinking (please no com-ments on that remark) that in Delmar thereis Morris Campbell, 48 years at barbering.In Laurel there’s good ol’ Walt Hearn whostarted cutting hair with his grandfatherEarl Wootten as a teenager more than 51years ago.

That’s 150 years of barbering betweenthose three gentlemen.

Think of the stories they have heardover the years and the many, many hoursof standing on their feet. As Morris toldme, it used to be that every so often youhad to renew your barbers license, now it’sa cosmetology license, I guess. The 1970swith the long hair was the end of barbershops as we knew them and I congratulateand admire people such as these three gen-tlemen who have kept the tradition alive.

Despite health problems, Dick Collisoncelebrated 50 years of barbering in June.He has made many lifetime friends, youhave told me so, as have Walt and Morris.

In this, the day of superstars, here arethree who have earned that status andthey have meant as much as any highpriced athlete or entertainer. For somereason Walt can cut my hair in a recordthree minutes now, but I can alwaysfondly remember the days of that bottleof Vitalis and the green Jeris (my fa-vorite) hair tonic.

Have a super week and enjoy the startof a great fall, everyone!

Castle County and western Kent County,and will take appropriate follow-up mos-quito control actions as warranted.

Findings of West Nile virus in the threedead wild crows indicates that the virus isonce again present in Delaware, as it hasbeen every year to varying degrees since2001.

While this finding is not cause foralarm, it’s still a good reminder to takecommon-sense precautions against mos-quito bites.

This includes wearing long-sleevedshirts and long pants when outdoors inmosquito-prone areas, applying insect re-pellent containing 10 to 30 percent DEETin accordance with all label instructions,and avoiding mosquito-infested areas ortimes of peak mosquito activity arounddusk, dawn or throughout the evening.

To reduce mosquito-breeding, peopleshould drain or remove items that collectwater, such as buckets, birdbaths, rain bar-rels, old tires, flowerpot liners, depressions

in tarps covering boats, clogged rain gut-ters, and unused swimming pools.

The worst outbreak of West Nile virusin Delaware occurred in 2003, when therewere 17 confirmed human cases of the dis-ease and two fatalities, plus 64 strickenhorses. Fortunately, West Nile virus activ-ity throughout the mid-Atlantic region(Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware,Maryland, Virginia, Washington, D.C.) hasbeen relatively low during 2006, with thefederal Centers for Disease Control andPrevention (CDC) reporting as of Aug. 22only five human cases to date, all clusteredin southeastern Pennsylvania.

On a nationwide basis, the CDC reports581 human cases thus far during 2006 oc-curring in 29 states, with the highestcounts found out west in California, Neva-da, Idaho, Utah, and Colorado, in thenorthern plain states of North Dakota,South Dakota and Minnesota, and in thesouth-central states of Texas, Louisianaand Mississippi.

An effective equine vaccine now existsto protect horses from West Nile virus and

EEE, but unfortunately there is not yet anyapproved West Nile or EEE vaccines forhumans. Humans infected with West Nilevirus typically have only mild symptomssimilar to a mild flu, if they show anysigns at all.

Rarely do humans infected with the dis-ease experience sudden onset of severeheadache, high fever, stiff neck, confusionand muscle weakness. Individuals withthese symptoms should see their physicianimmediately.

Suspect sick or dead wild birds for thespecies of interest (crows, blue jays, cardi-nals, robins, hawks and owls) when moni-toring for West Nile virus can be reportedto the Mosquito Control Section fromMonday through Friday between 8 a.m.and 4 p.m. by calling 422-1512

Calls made after business hours or dur-ing weekends or holidays can be recordedon a taped message. Callers should givetheir name, phone number, address andbrief message about the finding.

However, the public should be awarethat some calls left more than 24 hours be-

fore Mosquito Control can review them(usually between Friday evening and Sun-day morning) unfortunately usually resultin the bird conditions becoming too deteri-orated for virus testing.

The Mosquito Control phone numbersabove should also be used for citizens toreport intolerable numbers of biting mos-quitoes.

The section uses this information aboutsevere mosquito nuisance situations tohelp determine when and where to providecontrol services.

For more information about mosquitobiology/ecology and mosquito control,contact the Mosquito Control Section(Dover office) at 302-739-9917.

A Seaford native with Bethany Beach ties since 1957, Joan O’Day knows and sells all of Sussex County from Seaford to the Seashore!

Being a graduate of Seaford High School and obtaining an Education Degree from the University of Delaware led Joan to teach and coach hockey and basketball at SHS while raising two children, Kathleen and Matthew, and helping husband Jack run the Family Farm. Her service to the Seaford Library, Presidency of Seaford KiWives and P.T.A’s, and leadership positions in Gethsemane United Methodist Church received most of her attention.

Joan entered the Real Estate field full time in 1987. Her twenty years’ of expertise and contacts benefit her customers. Having changed real estate firms only once in her 20-year career (when the company was sold), Joan’s loyalty and dedication to hard work have made her a valuable asset to Callaway, Farnell and Moore, where she also served as Secretary of the Board of Directors for three years.

In 2005 Joan and husband Jack remodeled Joan’s parents’ home in Bethany Beach and now live there. “Being able to aid customers’ needs on both sides of Sussex County is a joy. So many buyers work on the East side but need to know about housing available on the West. I am truly selling the width of Sussex County,” states Joan.

Joan can be reached at her office at Callaway, Farnell and Moore, Inc., at 302- 629-4514, Ext 245, or by dialing her direct # at 302-536-6037. You can also call her cell phone at 302-265-7418.

OPINION

Why is the United States ofAmerica one of the most prosper-ous nations? No doubt our free en-terprise system is at the heart of ourgreat economy. America is greatand prosperous because Americansare willing to take risks, to startnew enterprises and test their ideasin the marketplace. Good ideas willprosper and bad ideas will fail. Oureconomy improves as ideas aretested. Wealth is generated in theprocess.

As we prepare to celebrate La-bor Day 2006, I find it interestingto look at the composition of ourworkforce. The following facts aretaken from the U.S. Census BureauPublic Information Office, theAmerican FactFinder and the Up-coming Statistical Abstract of theUnited States: 2007.

But first a brief history: The first observance of Labor

Day is believed to have been a pa-rade of 10,000 workers on Sept. 5,1882, in New York City, organizedby Peter J. McGuire, a Carpentersand Joiners Union secretary. By1893, more than half the stateswere observing a “Labor Day” onone day or another, and a bill to es-tablish a federal holiday was passedby Congress in 1894 designatingthe first Monday in September asLabor Day.

And now the facts:• The number of people age 16

or older in the nation’s labor forcein May 2006 was 151 million: 81.2million men and 69.8 millionwomen.

• Americans work in a wide va-riety of occupations. Here is a sam-pling:

Gaming services workers (gam-bling), 98,000

Hairdressers, hairstylists andcosmetologists, 738,000

Chefs and head cooks, 317,000Firefighters, 243,000Musicians, singers and related

workers, 213,000Bakers, 183,000Taxi drivers and chauffeurs,

291,000Service station attendants,

100,000Farmers and ranchers, 827,000Pharmacists, 248,000

Teachers, 6.8 mil-lion

• Time on the jobAround 28 percent

of workers 16 or olderwork more than 40hours a week. Eightpercent work 60 ormore hours a week.

The number ofworkers who holddown more than onejob is 7.5 million. So-called moonlighters comprise 5 per-cent of the working population.

Of these moonlighters, 3.9 mil-lion work full time at their primaryjob and part time at their other job.

There are about 294,000 moon-lighters who work full time at bothjobs. When do they sleep?

The number of self-employedworkers is 10.5 million.

The number of people who workat home is 5 million.

The median number of yearsworkers have been with their cur-rent employer is four.

About 10 percent of those em-ployed have been with their currentemployer for 20 or more years.

• Government jobsCivilian employees of the feder-

al government as of December2005 totaled 2.7 million.

Number of state governmentemployees nationwide as of March2005, 5.1 million.

County’s 9/11 ceremonySussex County will be holding a

9/11 ceremony on Monday, Sept.11, on the Circle in Georgetown.

This year marks the fifth an-niversary of the terrorist attacks onthe United States.

The Circle will be closed onehour before the ceremony, begin-ning at 9 a.m., and re-open at noon.

We need to be reminded of whywe must be on guard, why we mustnot tire, why we must win the waragainst terrorism.

lighter note. Here are some moreheadlines that appeared in print.

Accident waiting to happenThe recent tragedy on Rt.

20 has prompted me to writethis letter.

I am visually impaired…legally blind… lost centralvision. I live on Virginia Av-enue across from the schooland down a few homes fromthe police station. I walk tothe Boys and Girls Club/Se-nior Center weekdays. Evenwalking off the road, I couldtouch most cars as they rushby. And most are goingfaster than they should. Evenwhen I have walked with awhite cane for the blind…there is no consideration.They do not move over eventhough there is no trafficcoming in the other direc-tion. I guess it is the sad wayof the world today… incon-

siderate people. Or is it peo-ple who just are not think-ing?

I see mother’s walking,pushing strollers. Those in-fants are not only down lowbreathing in fumes but standthe chance of being struckwith a thrown up stone.

Maybe if you print this,someone will take heed.

Primary Election DayPrimary Election Day is

just around the corner and Ineed your help! It seems alittle different this year, sinceI am not out there campaign-ing. As you know, I have de-cided not to run for re-elec-tion. That does not mean thatI am going to sit on the side-lines. I have accepted newchallenges.

I was given the challengeto see how many people Icould help to get out and ex-ercise their right to vote. TheRight to Vote is one of themost precious freedoms thatwe have in America. Eachand every one of us needs togo to the polls, and to votefor the candidate that wesupport. We need to see thatthe person that we think isthe best qualified is the per-son that represents us.

That leads me to the sec-ond challenge that I was giv-en. Jan Ting asked me to en-courage all of his supportersto go to the polls, and to casttheir vote for him. I am flat-tered that he asked me to dothis. I personally supporthim. He is the candidate weendorsed at the RepublicanConvention. In fact each andevery delegate from SussexCounty voted for him at theconvention. It was a sign oftrue unity.

Now it is our turn. Go tothe polls on Tuesday, Sept.12. Exercise your right tovote. Vote for Jan Ting forUnited States Senate. He isthe best candidate.
