What’s a tea party without a teapot? Even perhaps the strangest tea party of them all, hosted by the mad hatter in Lewis Carroll’s classic “Adventures in Wonderland,” needed some kind of vessel to hold the featured drink.

Set designers for the most recent film adaptation of Alice’s adventures realized that. So they did what other

movie set designers in need of period pieces made from metal have done. They called on coppersmith Peter Goebel.

Goebel, of Bridgeville, made about 10 pieces for the Disney movie “Alice in Wonderland,” which came out last weekend. Among the pieces are tea-pots, perhaps for the tea party hosted by the Mad Hatter, played by Johnny Depp.

“I also made coffee pots and some pans,” said Goebel, 62. “And a couple copper lanterns.” He understands that the movie includes a scene in which a whole area is lit by copper lanterns. If his lantern is used in the scene, it is possible that it is duplicated for the scene by computers using a sophisti-cated kind of cut and paste, he said.

Laurel Police seek arrangement with Wicomico SheriffBy Tony E. Windsor

The Laurel Police Department is working on a formal agreement that will allow mutual interaction with Maryland law enforcement.

Laurel Police Chief Michael Wilson told the Laurel Mayor and Council dur-ing a recent meeting that he is working with Wicomico County Sheriff Mike Lewis on an agreement which will give both agencies extra manpower and intelligence opportunities in the event of major cases.

Wilson said given the close prox-imity of the northern boundaries of Maryland to the town of Laurel, it provides a great opportunity for both agencies and he welcomes the opportu-nity. “We have the opportunity to assist one another and provide manpower for such things as a large-scale drug case,” he said.

An example of the mutual aid agree-ment in action occurred on Jan. 29, when the Laurel Police Department’s Emergency Response Team assisted the Wicomico County Sheriff’s

Last week, Goebel said that he was anxious to see the movie to spot his creations. “I’ll be look-ing like crazy,” he said. “If they show up, it’ll be a hoot.”

Goebel has made set pieces for a dozen other movies, includ-ing “The Patriot” starring Mel Gibson and “The Far Side of the World” with Russell Crowe. Among the 200 pieces that he made for that 2003 film was a large copper bowl that sat on the table in Capt. Jack Aubrey’s din-ing quarters.

His first movie commission

was for a lantern that Kermit car-ried in “Muppet Treasure Island,” released in 1996.

Goebel said that his children have gone through each movie frame by frame, looking for the bowls, mugs and steins that came from their father’s workshop.

Goebel has been making copper pieces for 20 years. He uses smithing techniques that were used in the 17th and 18th centuries, ferreting them out by examining old pieces and through trial and error. Old-time copper-smiths, a group that died out as the Industrial Revolution made

their skills obsolete, did not leave behind instructions, he said.

In addition to pieces for mov-ies, Goebel makes 17th- and ear-ly 18th-century museum repro-ductions, in copper as well as in tin and brass. His pots and pans are used in the kitchen at Penns-bury Manor, the reconstructed 17th-century home of William Penn on the Delaware River in Morrisville, Pa. He has also made

pieces for exhibit at historic Jamestown and Yorktown, Va., Old Fort Niagara near Niagara Falls, Sutter’s Fort in California and Fort St. Jean Baptiste in Louisiana.

Many of his pieces are used by re-enactors for the French and Indian War and American Revolution. And when the mood strikes, he turns out works of folk art, including hammered cop-

per pigs, horses, fish, angels and suns, chains of copper apples and hearts and graceful wreaths of leaves.

For your informationPeter Goebel’s copper studio,

Goose Bay Workshops, is at his home near Bridgeville. For infor-mation, call 337-8285 or visit the website, goosebay-workshops.com.

Sunday is time to spring ahead & change smoke alarm batteries

Daylight savings time begins in the United States on the second Sunday in March - March 14 this year - and ends on the first Sun-day in November.

On the second Sunday in March, clocks are set ahead one hour at 2 a.m. local standard time, which becomes 3 a.m. local day-light time.

Now is also a great time to check the batteries on your smoke alarms.

Statistics show an average of three children per day die in

home fires. You can help prevent fire

deaths and injuries by remember-ing to change the batteries in your smoke alarms when you change your clocks back to Daylight Sav-ings time each spring.

Once you have changed your batteries, be sure to test your smoke alarms. This simple act will cut the risk of dying in a home fire by at least half.

For more information, contact Mike Lowe, Delaware State Fire School, 302-739-4773.

Laurel High School Indoor Guard places second in competitionOn Saturday, Feb. 20, the Laurel High

School Indoor Guard placed second in the Scholastic Novice A Division at Gateway Regional High School in Woodbury, N.J.

Laurel is the sole competitive winter guard in Sussex County and has been com-peting for two years in Tournament Indoor Association (TIA)’s Chapter 9 which

encompasses Delaware, eastern Maryland and parts of northern Virginia.

Currently, the ensemble is ranked 12th overall in their division in nine states (Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and parts of North Carolina, West Virginia and Ohio). Their next competition is Saturday,

March 13, at Avon Grove High School in Pennsylvania.

The guard is comprised of seniors: Tania Baker, Kirsten Cook, Amber Cooper, Vernard Goins, Kari Noftsinger and Ashley Pruitt; juniors: Brooke Brittingham, Alexis Hunt, Jojo Ray, Tiffany St. Jernquist and Caitlin Stokes; sophomore: Kelly Marine; freshmen: Johana Bowles and Rachel Young; and eighth grader: Thalia Baker.

Of the 15 marching members, only three students have ever participated in winter guard before this season. Six par-ticipated in the marching band color guard program this past fall and received first place honors at all four Tournament of Bands competitions.

Staff for the 2010 season includes Mary Pierce-Cass, director; Lisa Bales, assistant director; Brian Cass, visual ensemble coor-dinator; Alan Bales, chief videographer; and Alex Bales, technician. Floor crew includes Crew Captain, John Dillon Travis along with Harley “Trey” Lord and Adam Horner.

Laurel High School Winter Ensemble thanks the Laurel School District, Laurel School Board, parents and friends for all their support. Without them this season would not be possible.

For more information about upcoming competitions and community performanc-es, contact Mary Pierce-Cass at 875-6120 or [email protected].

Scholarship forms available through the Laurel Alumni

The Laurel Alumni Scholarship Foundation is pleased to announce that the scholarship forms for 2010 are now avail-able.

An applicant for the Laurel Alumni Scholarship does not have to be graduating from Laurel High School, but must be a graduating son or daughter of a member, in good standing, of the Laurel Alumni Association for at least three years prior to June 2010.

The Laurel Alumni Scholarship Foundation also administers these addi-tional scholarships:

The Helen Kirk Deputy Ellis Scholarship: This scholarship was estab-lished in honor of Mrs. Ellis, a dedicated teacher in the State of Delaware for 42 years. She taught 33 years in Laurel as a Latin instructor.

This scholarship is awarded to a Laurel High School graduate who is attending a

four-year college or university. The Class of 1956 Scholarship: This scholarship was established by members of the Class of 1956, to celebrate their 50th year gradua-tion anniversary. It is awarded to a Laurel High School graduate who is attending a two- or four-year college, university or trade school.

New this year, the Class of 1960 Scholarship: This scholarship is being offered by the members of the Class of 1960 to celebrate their graduation from Laurel High School 50 years ago. This scholarship is awarded to a Laurel High School graduate who is attending a two- or four-year college, university or trade school.

The application forms are available from the Laurel Guidance Office or by calling 875-2503. All completed applica-tions are due back to the foundation by April 1.

Police seek jurisdiction agreementDepartment with the execution of a search warrant. This incident was part of a large scale operation conducted by the sheriff’s department and Laurel police helped to execute 10 search warrants simultane-ously. The Laurel Police Department’s Emergency Response Team performed similar duties in a mutual aid scenario with the Delmar Police Department when Laurel police officers helped serve a search warrant in Delmar.

Wilson said it is not unusual for most municipal police agencies in Delaware to have “Mutual Aid Agreements” with one another.

The formal agreements allow sworn police officers to work outside of their jurisdiction under the jurisdictional con-trol of another police agency. The formal

agreement between a Delaware municipal-ity and a law enforcement agency outside of its state is not standard operations, but Wilson said it makes sense considering the close geographical proximity.

“We have worked with Sheriff Lewis and the Wicomico Sheriff’s Department over the years because we train our K-9 units with them,” Wilson said. “I told Sheriff Lewis if there was anything we could do for him to let us know. He called and took me up on my offer and we helped with the search warrants. This is a great opportunity for both agencies and we are working on a more permanent arrange-ment.” Wilson said for now, the mutual aid agreements are only good for each individual request for support and expire at the conclusion of the case. The two agencies are working on a more traditional on-going Mutual Aid Agreement.

Retirement communities join ACTSACTS Retirement-Life Communities

Inc., (ACTS) and the Peninsula United Methodist Homes, Inc. (PUMH) and Heron Point of Chestertown (Heron Point), have announced the signing of agreements in which PUMH and Heron Point have agreed to become affiliates of ACTS. The affiliation is expected to close on April 30 and become effective May 1.

ACTS is the nation’s largest not-for-profit owner, operator and developer of Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs).

Through a combination of organic growth and acquisitions, ACTS has grown from a single location in Fort Washington, Pa. in 1972, to 23 locations in eight states when the PUMH and Heron Point affilia-tions are completed.

Brown named extension agentThe College of

Agriculture and Natural Resources announces the ap-pointment of Wil-liam R. Brown III to the position of poul-try extension agent III for the Delaware Cooperative Exten-sion effective Feb. 1.

Brown will oper-ate from the Elbert N. and Ann V. Carvel Center in Georgetown where he will serve a large constituency of individual poultry growers and businesses who have a stake in what is the largest economic driver in agriculture in the region.

Brown has spent most of his life dedi-cated to the poultry industry. After gradu-ating from the University of Delaware with a bachelor of science in animal science with an ag business concentration, Brown was employed for 21 years with Perdue Farms where he served as flock supervisor, ventilation specialist, hatchery manager, poultry housing specialist area supervisor and grow out manager.

For the past four years, Brown and his family have owned and operated a seven house poultry farm as a contract grower. He resides in Hurlock, Md., with his wife MaryLou, daughter Ashley, 15 and son Jacob, 10.

Brown can be reached at 856-2585, ext. 557 or [email protected].

Chamber opposes card check billThe Delaware State Chamber of Com-

merce accompanied a delegation of mem-bers to Washington, D.C., recently to meet with Delaware’s elected officials about the proposed card check union organizing legislation.

“Our delegation represented a cross-section of the Delaware business com-munity which opposes card check for its

elimination of a worker’s right to a secret ballot, for opening workers to intimidation and for imposing government control of pay and benefit decisions without appeal,” said Ken Brennan, chair of the Delaware Retail Council.

The card check bill was introduced in both the U.S. House and Senate in Febru-ary 2009, before hitting bipartisan resis-tance in the Senate.

Even if the card check bill cannot pass this year as written, organized labor may push for a vote to determine which Sena-tors to support headed into this fall.

Chamber representatives met with U.S. Sens. Ted Kaufman and Tom Carper because their vote will be critical in deter-mining whether supporters can gather the necessary 60 Senate votes to advance the bill.

The legislation fell just nine votes shy of moving forward in the Senate in 2007.

By James Diehl

Mary “Midge” McMasters has always been the type of person who puts her so-called money where her

mouth is. Whenever she sees someone in need, she can’t help but lend a helping hand.

“Faith without works is dead,” is the man-tra she bases her life on.

“I don’t do the things I do because they make me feel good, but that is what they do,” says McMasters, a native of Sharptown and a resident of Laurel since the late 1950s. “Some things I know I can’t do or am not qualified to do. But I do what I can, which makes me feel like I’m giving back to the community.”

A member of Centenary United Method-ist Church since her first days in Laurel, McMasters made her living as a bookkeeper before settling into retirement. Though today she’s better known in her adopted hometown for the work she does with the Good Samari-tan Thrift Shop, her early days volunteering were spent teaching Sunday School.

It was a way to spend a little extra time with her four children, but also served as the launching point for a lifetime of volunteer work. She even spent more than a decade as the church’s Sunday School superintendent; she felt she was needed and filled the role admirably.

“After I taught the kids for six years, I got out of it for awhile. But then they needed somebody [to serve as superintendent],” she remembers. “Sometimes you stand around and think somebody ought to be doing this or ought to be doing that. I guess God was nudging me to put my money where my mouth was, so I went and talked to the preacher about it.”

After 11 years of Sunday mornings spent teaching the ways of the church to her young pupils, McMasters felt it was “time to give someone else a chance” and she moved on to other projects. She does still fill in when needed these days, however, mostly with adult classes.

Another love over the years has been the Centenary chapter of the United Method-ist Women, specifically the group’s annual Thanksgiving community meal. It’s been going on for years, and it’s something the women of the church look forward to each November.

“That really kind of makes Thanksgiving for all of us,” admits McMasters. “We knew there were people who needed someplace to go for Thanksgiving to get a good meal. But we also knew there were people who didn’t have family in the area and would just enjoy the fellowship.”

Held the Sunday before Thanksgiving at Centenary, the ladies of the church gener-ally feed between 160-175 people each year, according to McMasters. She loves to help out and puts as many hours as she can into the project, but she also prefers to stay in the background.

She doesn’t seek the attention, nor does she crave the appreciation. She merely wants to do her part.

“I just feel like if I needed someone’s help, they would be there for me, so I try to help when I can,” she says. “As long as I can go, I’m happy because I’m not good at doing nothing. I like to keep busy; I may not do things as quickly now but I think I still do as much as I’ve always done.”

Though still active in her church, McMas-ters spends most of her volunteer hours these days with the Good Samaritan Thrift Shop in downtown Laurel.

Housed in the former Phillips Men’s Shop

across the street from Centenary United Methodist Church, Good Samaritan has been serving the needs of the Laurel community since 1973. At that time, the shop operated out of a long since demolished building on the corner of Central Avenue and West Mar-ket Street.

The store has come a long way since those early years. Today, a trip inside is a lot like going to a mainstream department store in a shopping center or a mall; if you didn’t know better, you’d swear many of the things on the store’s shelves were brand new, and that’s what McMasters and her fellow “good Samaritans” aim for.

“We try to keep this as much like a regu-lar store as possible so the people who aren’t able to go to Macy’s or to Boscov’s still have a place to go to find nice clothes,” says McMasters, who began volunteering with the organization in the mid 1980s. “I think we have made a big impact on the community. All of the money we raise goes right back into the community.”

Though McMasters loves the role she plays with the shop, she never dreamed she would still be stocking shelves, running cash registers and cleaning things up more than a quarter century after first expressing willing-ness to help out with the organization.

“I thought I’d do this for awhile and then go do something else,” she admits. “But I just feel like this is my way of being able to help.”

One of McMasters’ ministers once told her something that has stuck in her mind for years; it’s sort of become the guiding force she has built her life of community service around.

Once stressed out about whether or not she was making a difference, the man of God looked her in the eyes and said “Midge, you’re not responsible for the result, you’re just responsible for the effort.”

And no one can fault the mother of four’s effort over the years. She’s impacted more lives that she can possibly imagine, made a difference to more people than she will ever realize.

She’s helped provide toys for children at Christmas time, fed thousands of people at Thanksgiving and provided needy residents with clothes and other items when they were in desperate need.

A modest women who would rather talk about the organizations she helps rather than herself, she always seems to have a smile on her face. She loves to share stories about how the Good Samaritan has helped the community over the years.

“We sometimes have bus drivers come in the store and tell us that they have children riding their busses who need coats,” she says with a touch of reflection. “If we have the proper size, we’ll go and find one and give it to them. Those are the things that really stick in my mind, the times we’ve been able to help the kids.”

Money raised at the Good Samaritan is used to help pay doctor’s bills, prescriptions, rent, car insurance, gasoline and heating

bills, among other things. It’s all returned to members of the community who truly need a little extra help getting by; it serves a pur-pose McMasters is proud to be a part of.

Even if her co-workers do affectionately refer to her as “the bag lady.”

“They used to always tease me because it would drive me crazy when the bags would go all over the place,” she says with a chuckle. “I had to straighten them up because I just couldn’t handle that. I still have to go straighten them up now.”

The Good Samaritan Thrift Shop is open every Thursday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Satur-days. It’s a pretty good bet that, no matter what day you enter the doors, you’ll see Mc-Masters hard at work at her “second home.”

Says McMasters: “I spend a great deal of time here, but to me it’s almost like rec-reation time. I go home tired, but it’s just something I really like to do.”


Good Samaritan learns ‘effort’ is what is required

Midge McMasters has volunteered at Laurel’s Good Samaritan Thrift Shop for more than 25 years. Affectionately re-ferred to as the “bag lady” by her co-workers, she takes a great deal of joy in helping others, particularly children.

Traffic deaths on the rise statewideDelaware Office of Highway

Safety (OHS) officials urge motorists to take active steps to monitor and improve their own driving behavior in the wake of a recent fatal crash in Kent County. That means going back to the ba-sics of driving and taking the fol-lowing actions: buckle up, slow down and don’t drink and drive.

The latest motor vehicle death, in which Delaware State Police Investigators believe alcohol, speed, and lack of seat belt use were all contributing factors, is the 17th of 2010. Several issues are troubling to OHS officials at this time.

“We are extremely concerned about the number of fatal crashes occurring so early in the year. We’re averaging a fatal crash every four and a half days,” said Tricia Roberts, director of the Of-fice of Highway Safety.

Additionally, two of the fatal crashes involved multiple fatali-ties, and of the 17 traffic deaths this year, five of them were pe-destrians.

Three of the remaining 12 mo-tor vehicle deaths involved alco-hol, and four (33%) of the victims were not wearing seat belts.

Acts of aggressive driving were a factor in at least 36% of the fatal crashes to date, and speed a factor in 14% of them. Additionally, eight of the 14 fatal

crashes occurred at night, nine occurred in New Castle County, three in Kent and two in Sussex.

OHS asks all drivers to re-member the basics of driving safety:

Buckle up every trip, every time. Wearing a seat belt im-proves your chances of surviv-ing a collision by approximately 45%.

Slow down. Observe the post-ed speed limits and adjust your speeds down particularly when going around curves.

Never drink and drive. Alco-hol impairs your coordination, your reaction time and your judg-ment. Always use a designated driver, cab, or bus service to get you home safely.

When crossing the roadways on foot, only use marked cross-walks or signaled or signed inter-sections as crossing points. If you are walking at night, wear reflec-tive clothing or carry a flashlight.

Upcoming safety initiatives by the Delaware Office of Highway Safety include DUI enforcement scheduled for St. Patrick’s Day as well as the weekends that sur-round it, a speed enforcement mobilization in April, and the Click It or Ticket campaign in May.

Angela Howard, RRT, Nanticoke Memorial Hospital Pulmonary Rehab specialist, evalu-ates Richard Crites (left) and Robert Murray (right) as they perform their exercises at Nanticoke Memorial Hospital’s Outpatient Pulmonary Rehab.

Nanticoke Memorial is first in state to earn pulmonary rehabilitation certification

March 14-20 is National Pulmonary Rehabilitation Week and this year’s theme is “Every Breath Brings Success.” Nanti-coke Memorial Hospital will have a table displaying pulmonary information includ-ing brochures and other informational materials.

Pulmonary rehabilitation is designed to aid those who suffer from lung prob-lems such as chronic obstructive pulmo-nary disease and restrictive pulmonary disease.

Childhood obesity rates level off in Delaware between years 2006-08

The prevalence of overweight and obe-sity among Delaware children, ages 2-17, shows a flattening of the trajectory – no change - between 2006 and 2008.

Because overweight and obesity rates had previously been climbing rapidly, the leveling-off is cause for optimism, reports Nemours in the March 2010 edition of Health Affairs, a peer-reviewed publica-tion and the country’s most respected health policy journal.

Additionally, a Health Affairs policy brief makes a national recommendation to follow what Delaware is doing on a national level as a way to lower childhood obesity.

Nemours conducts the Delaware Survey of Children’s Health to collect parent-reported information about the weight and behaviors of children aged 2-17.

This leveling-off was seen in all Dela-ware counties and demographic subpopu-lations and mirrors the national trend sup-ported by information released earlier by Centers for Disease Control and Preven-tion. Since 1980, child obesity rates have increased dramatically across the nation.

Being overweight has doubled for chil-dren and tripled for adolescents, raising their risks for developing type 2 diabetes, early heart disease, and other health condi-tions such as asthma as well as psycholog-ical problems, including lower self-esteem.

The article attributes this stabilization to the multi-sector and place-based ap-proach Nemours and its many dedicated partners implement in child care, schools, primary care and in the broader commu-nity.

These efforts are ultimately aimed at changing behaviors and reducing the prev-alence of overweight and obesity among Delaware’s children.

5-2-1-Almost NoneThe article shows a four-fold increase

in awareness of Nemours’ 5-2-1-Almost None “prescription for health” which en-courages children to: eat at least five fruits and vegetables a day; limit screen time to

no more than two hours a day; get at least one hour of daily physical activity, and drink almost no sugary beverages, like so-das and sports drinks.

Children of parents who were famil-iar with the message showed a marked increase in physical activity in 2008 com-pared with 2006.

• In 2006, 5% of parents heard of and could recall NHPS’ 5-2-1-Almost None campaign.

• In 2008, 19% of parents heard of and could recall NHPS’ 5-2-1-Almost None campaign.

Delaware child care policy has under-gone significant change, leading the nation in regulations encouraging more physical activity and specifying limited consump-tion of foods high in fat, sugar, and sodi-um, in favor of more fruits and vegetables, whole grains and low fat dairy for kids in day care.

In other findings, schools that partici-pated in a pilot program to ensure that students get 150 minutes of physical activ-ity during the school day saw results in student fitness levels.

Based on the Fitnessgram assessment, students in the pilot group were one-and-a-half times more likely to be physically fit than children in a control group.

Nemours has worked with school districts to develop meaningful wellness policies and with the state Department of Education to implement the Fitnessgram.

Just last month, Nemours joined five other nationally prominent groups includ-ing the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and The California Endowment in found-ing the Partnership for a Healthier Amer-ica – a new non-partisan organization that will work closely with First Lady Michelle Obama’s obesity initiative, Let’s Move.

Nemours earned a seat at this table in part due to the collaborative work and suc-cessful experience with partners through-out Delaware. In the fight against obesity, few states can compare in terms of reach-ing into all the places that influence kids’ behavior and choices.

Nanticoke Hospital positions itself for the futureBy Lynn R. Parks

After a stretch of years in which it lost money, Nanticoke Memorial Hospital is looking at a better financial picture, CEO Steve Rose told members of the Greater Seaford Chamber of Commerce during a breakfast meeting Thursday.

“I wouldn’t say that we’re really boom-ing, but we are out of that worry zone,” he said.

Nanticoke ended its last fiscal year with a surplus of $1.1 million. This followed on the heels of three losing years, including 2008, in which the hospital lost $8.1 mil-lion.

In the past year, the hospital has also brought new physicians to town and ex-panded its staff by 40 new employees. With three new pediatricians in town, it has reopened its pediatric unit. And it has reopened the fifth-floor unit, being used for post-surgical patients. With all of that accomplished, Rose said, it is time to look toward the future.

Rose presented to the chamber a syn-opsis of Nanticoke’s strategic plan. Goal

one, to focus on customer service and im-provements in quality, includes improving patient satisfaction, something that is nec-essary to meet the four other goals, Rose said. “If we don’t fix that, it doesn’t matter what else we do,” he added.

Rose told the chamber members that the level of care at Nanticoke has never flagged. “But when it came to customer satisfaction, that was another thing,” he said.

Focusing on customer service will also mean making the work environment at the hospital the best it can be. “We want to be the employer of choice in the area,” Rose said. “If our employees aren’t happy, our patients won’t be happy.”

And it will mean storing patient infor-mation in a way that is not fragmented and that reduces the potential for errors.

Within about a year, Nanticoke hopes to be a paperless hospital, with all patient records stored electronically.

Phase II of the changeover to electronic files started March 4. By the end of April 2011, spokesman Tom Brown said, medi-cal providers will be able to put their notes

and orders for patients on the computer. (Phase I of the project to transform to electronic records started in 2005 and was completed that year. It included all medi-cal records except for physicians’ orders, nurses’ notes, etc.)

“We are not going electronic to save jobs,” Rose said. “Rather, this is a quality and safety issue. It won’t save the hospital money.”

Goal two of the strategic plan is im-proving access to medical services, in part to reduce the number of area residents who go elsewhere for treatment.

In addition to the nine new physicians who have come to Seaford in the past year, Nanticoke is looking for an endocrinolo-gist, who would help in the treatment of people with diabetes, a new neurologist and new pulmonary doctors.

“We will also be expanding our primary care network,” Rose said.

Goal three is to let the community know what’s going on at Nanticoke.

“You can never over communicate,” Rose said. “We will tell our story to any-body who’s willing to listen.”

Goal four focuses on continuing to im-prove Nanticoke’s financial picture. “We are making great strides, but there is still a lot of work to do,” Rose said.

That work includes paying off the hos-pital’s debts, owed on bonds the hospital sold over the years to finance capital im-provements.

The bulk of the hospital’s debt comes from bonds that it sold in 2004 in the amount of $57 million, Brown said.

“We would like to do some building and expand some things, but we have to get our equity built first,” Rose said.

Finally, goal five is aimed at building relationships with other health-care provid-ers in the area.

“We can’t be all things to all people,” Rose said. Nanticoke’s recent partnership with Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury, for example, allows people in western Sussex to benefit from PRMC’s clinical trials to test new cancer-fighting drugs.

“We need to work together to make sure we are serving the community as best we can,” Rose said.

Mary Goff celebrates 102 years Mary Goff, surrounded by family,

friends, staff, and residents, recently cel-ebrated her 102nd birthday at LifeCare at Lofland Park, where she currently re-sides.

Goff was born on Feb. 25, 1908, in Au-gusta Springs, Va. She was orphaned as a small child and raised by family members and friends in Augusta Springs. She mar-ried Jack R. (Pete) Goff in 1922, and they moved to Market Street in Laurel in 1939 with the opening of the Seaford DuPont plant.

Together they raised three children, Jack D. Goff (deceased), Ruth Goff Allen (deceased) and Robert Goff, who lives in Nashville. She has seven grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren, and 14 great-great-grandchildren.

LifeCare at Lofland Park, located across the street from Nanticoke Memo-rial Hospital, provides long-term care and short-term rehabilitation care in a home-like setting. For more information, call 628-3000 or visit www.nanticoke.org/lifecare.

ObituariesLeo Cezar, 92

Leo Cezar of Ellicott City, Md., died on Sunday, Feb. 28, 2010.

He was the beloved husband of the late Mary Rita (Thompson) Cezar and father of Ed, John, Bart and Mary Patricia Cezar, Mary Robin Phillips and Jennifer Ann Franey. He was the brother of Gertrude Fastow and the late Al Cezar and Evelyn Alexander. Mr. Cezar is also survived by 12 grandchildren and four great-grandchil-dren.

Mr. Cezar was born July 7, 1917, in Brooklyn, N.Y., the youngest of four, to the late David and Esther (Belov) Cezar. His parents were Russian immigrants.

At the age of 8, he sold newspapers

at Aqueduct Race Track. Because of his small size, he was given the opportunity to gallop and exercise the thoroughbred race horses. As a jockey, he rode throughout the U.S. While working for the legendary Sunny James Fitzsimmons, he galloped the yearling, Seabiscuit. Several years later, he had the opportunity to exercise War Admiral. In 1989, he began his career as a veterinary assistant with the Maryland Racing Commission.

In 1943, he enlisted in the Coast Guard. During World War II, he rode horses on shore patrol on the King Ranch in Texas and in Washington State. He later served in the South Pacific transporting supplies between Guam, Hawaii and San Francisco.

Health tip: take 10,000 steps a dayA writer’s life is a sluggish one.

At least, I have recently realized, mine is.

My work station is in the kitchen. I sit at my computer, a water bottle and the portable phone both within reach and the refrigera-tor three steps away. And except for the times that, because I have drained that water bottle, I have to use the bathroom, 10 steps away, I can sit here for hours at a time, typ-ing word after word onto a screen.

Occasionally, when my daughter calls, for example, or my mother, I wander into the living room, 14 steps, to sit on the couch for the duration of the conversa-tion. And once in a while, usually to fetch another flannel shirt to wear because I’m cold, I venture upstairs. Thirty-four steps, 11 of them on the stairs, from my com-puter to my dresser.

I know how many steps apart all the stations in my life are because I have counted them. And I have counted them because I recently read, while sitting abso-lutely still on the couch, that some gurus of health recommend that to maintain good physical condition, adults should take 10,000 steps a day. To give that recom-mendation some perspective, 2,000 steps, depending on the length of your stride, equals about one mile.

Ten thousand steps is 715 journeys from my computer to the couch, 357 jour-neys if I make it a round trip. Or put an-

other way, a thousand trips from my work station to the bathroom.

The average American, according to the article I was reading, takes 2,000 to 3,000 steps a day. I can’t imagine that on days that I am writing, I take even that many.

Three thousand steps would equal 107 trips to the couch and back; throw in 10 visits to the bathroom, surely more than are necessary in the course of the day, and I would have to make 100 round trips to the sofa just to get to the American aver-age.

And let’s face it. The American aver-age, when it comes to health and exercise, is far below what we should be aiming for.

In fairness to myself, I will say that I frequently fit into my day a 2-mile walk, 10 times around the perimeter of our lot and about 4,000 steps.

But this winter, with the weather so miserable, I have often foregone my walk in favor of a good book. Reading: some-

thing else I love to do that involves no step-taking.

Since learning about the amazing benefits of walking, I have resumed my daily trek with a renewed determination to complete it every day. And I’m trying something new: Before sitting down to my computer, I set the timer on the kitchen stove for 20 minutes. When it beeps, I get up, turn it off and walk twice around our downstairs. Through the dining room, into the living room and around the center of the room, back to the dining room, into the kitchen and on to the back porch, back to the kitchen and the whole thing over again takes about 100 steps. Before resuming my seat, I set the timer again.

Yesterday, I did that 11 times, for 1,100 steps. Add that to my walk, 4,000 steps, and round up because surely I am up and moving around more than that and I figure that through the day, I took about 6,000 steps. Short of the recommended 10,000 steps that I read about, but a step — or 6,000 of them, rather — in the right direc-tion.

Of course, spring is coming. Soon the days of sitting inside and looking out at the weather will be over and getting thou-sands of steps in during the day will be a matter of routine.

Too, gone for a while will be the days of sitting on the couch and reading news-paper and magazine articles. I still might not be doing all that I should. But I won’t know it.

Short of the 10,000 steps I read about, but a step, or 6,000 of them, in the right direction.

Thousands of Bears, including Gov. Jack Markell, will take the chilly dip into the Atlantic Ocean to raise money for Special Olympics Delaware.

All funds raised support SODE’s year-round program of sports train-ing, athletic competition and related programs for nearly 3,300 children and adults with intellectual disabilities.

For the second consecutive year, the city of Rehoboth Beach will host a weekend-long Plunge Festival which will include a 5k Run to the Plunge, restaurant chili contest, ice sculpting contest, several kids’ activities, and the Apres Plunge Party held at the Rehoboth Beach Convention Center.

Restaurants and retailers throughout the Rehoboth Beach area have teamed up with Special Olympics to provide registered Bears with special discounts and activities throughout the weekend.

In addition, the Atlantic Sands Hotel will serve as the official Plunge Head-quarters of the Lewes Polar Bear Plunge.

Free tax assistanceAARP-Tax Aide is offering free

income tax counseling and preparation through April 15, for senior and low income taxpayers of all ages. AARP-TaxAide volunteers, trained in coopera-tion with the Internal Revenue Service, will assist with personal tax returns.

Habitat seeks familiesSussex County Habitat for Humanity

is looking to partner with families who have a need for simple, decent, afford-able housing.

To qualify, a family must live or work in Sussex County, have a gross income of between $17,100 and $38,700 annually (depending on the family’s size), and be willing to provide “sweat equity” (work on a Habitat home).

At this time, possible Habitat home locations include Laurel, Seaford and Milton. Ten homes are scheduled to be built this year to house qualified appli-cants.

Habitat for Humanity works closely with its partner families. The future homeowners will be provided: classes to prepare for home ownership; training on construction and home maintenance, a sponsor to help them through the pro-cess and tools to use when building their home. To apply, call SCHFH at 855-1153, ext. 204.

Gas LinesCrude oil increases continue to affect

prices at the pump. Since prices tend to change with the seasons, motorists should expect a climb in pump prices as springtime approaches. Because of the rising average crude oil price, “pump prices may exceed $3 per gallon at times during the approaching spring and summer,” the Energy Information Ad-ministration (EIA) is forecasting.

Crude Oil PricesCrude oil spent the week trading in

a tight range between $78 and $81 a barrel. Two major factors – the state of the economic recovery and the strength of the U.S. dollar – continue to be the primary influences over the direction of oil prices.

In its weekly report, the EIA showed crude stocks rose 4.1 million barrels

to 341.6 million barrels last week, the highest since the end of August 2009. Gasoline stocks rose 700,000 barrels to 231.9 million barrels. Demand stood at 8.882 million barrels per day.

Forecast“Motorists have undoubtedly noticed

slight increases at the gas pumps in recent weeks and if crude oil continues to trade above $80 a barrel prices may continue to climb in the days ahead,” said Jana L. Tidwell, acting manager of Public and Government Affairs for AAA Mid-Atlantic.

Local pricingOn Tuesday gas stations from Del-

mar to Greenwood were selling regu-lar gasoline in a range from $2.649 to $2.749 a gallon.

The low price is nine cents higher than a week ago. The high price is two cents higher than a week ago.

Sussex cost-cutting measures include an auto auctionBy Ronald MacArthur

Sussex County Deputy Administrator Hal Godwin is on a mission to save money in the county’s fleet department.

A little can go a long way because the county spends more than $1 million a year to keep its fleet of 246 vehicles and 55 trailers moving. Included in that cost is $370,000 for fuel and $161,000 for insur-ance. Last fiscal year the county’s vehicles traveled more than 2.3 million miles.

Godwin recently outlined a long list of recommended changes in the operation of the county’s fleet aimed at efficiency, bet-ter record keeping and cost cutting.

He said the county could see some sav-ings in the $237,000 spent on maintenance and repairs last fiscal year. Purchasing more equipment could save $25,000 right away.

Routine maintenance and repair work, including oil changes, is done by county mechanics, but that can be expanded, said Godwin. He said too much work is done

by outside shops that could be done in-house. “We can’t change a flat,” he said.

Godwin offered several possible chang-es that could end up saving the county money. Purchasing $16,000 worth of equipment to expand maintenance and ser-vice work done by county staff would save $25,000 immediately. With new equip-ment, county mechanics would be able to mount and balance tires, flush fluids and perform air conditioning recharges.

He said something as simple as extend-ing the time between oil changes, from every 3,000 miles to every 5,000 miles, would save money.

County council voted to change to a new fuel distribution system already used by the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) department. Godwin said a switch to the Fuel Man card system would save the county 8 cents to 10 cents per gallon, provide better record keeping and allow county employees to fill up at any gas sta-tion without returning to the county garage in Georgetown.

Godwin said better control is needed in purchasing parts, accessories and tires because prices between vendors vary so greatly. He said the fleet staff caught one vendor who charged $23 for valve stems, an item that normally sells for $2.

He said officials have instituted a twice-a-year sell-off of surplus county vehicles. The first sale of nine vehicles is scheduled for Saturday, March 13, and another will be scheduled in September.

The auction will be in the parking lot of the Sussex County Emergency Operations Center, 21911 Rudder Lane, at the Sus-sex County Airport east of Georgetown. Prospective buyers can begin inspecting vehicles at 10 a.m. that day. The auction will follow at noon.

Nine automobiles, a mixture of Ford and Chevrolet cars and trucks, will be on the auction block. The vehicles range from 1995 to 2003 models. The County has declared the vehicles as ‘surplus’ cars and trucks that no longer fit within the opera-tional needs of the County’s fleet.

The vehicles will be sold to the highest bidders ‘as is’ with no guarantee or war-ranty. Only cash payment will be accepted. Proceeds from the auction will go directly to the County government.

Anyone from the public is invited to bid, but the auction is closed to County employees. For details contact Deputy County Administrator Harold Godwin at 854-5060.

Other recommendations include more training for the county’s five mechanics and purchase of an online system to assist mechanics. Godwin said most of the rec-ommendations could be instituted without council approval.

The county provides vehicles for para-medics, the Sheriff’s Office, planning and zoning inspectors, constables, water and sewer services and engineering, libraries, mapping staff and community develop-ment staff. Nearly half the county’s ve-hicles are assigned to staff in the water and sewer department at a cost of $373,000, the highest of any department.

Delaware International Speedway releases 2010 schedule

By Charlie Brown

The 2010 season schedule at the Delaware International Speedway is one of the most ambitious in the track’s history. Along with some long time staples such as six United Racing Company sprint car dates, the Camp Barnes Benefit and five weekly points di-visions the track has also added surprises. The new events include the return of “Twin 20’s” nights for both the NAPA Big Block Modified and the Super Late Models plus an “All Out 100” feature only night.

One of the biggest changes for the 2010 season will be a change in the dates and times of the Delaware State Dirt Track Championship. This year’s event will be held on Friday and Saturday nights, October 22 and 23. The traditional tacky night time surface that the track is noted for should provide some outstanding side by side racing.

“Our tradition dates were in direct conflict with very popular local “Pumpkin Chunk-in,” said promoter Charlie Cathell. “The World Championships in Charlotte, N.C., are also on the previous date and along with the World of Outlaw Late Models and Sprint Cars they are adding the big block modifieds this year plus I was never very satisfied with the single file racing that the daytime surface provided.”

The season will open in traditional fashion with a “Tune and Test” on Saturday night April 3 followed by the season opener – “Delmar Night” on Saturday night, April 10. Rounding out the month will be the first of six URC appearances on April 17 and the William J. Cathell Memorial on April 24, which will include the Little Lincoln and Vin-tage Stock Cars along with the five weekly divisions.

The month of May will be filled with specials. The Third Annual “Kyle Dixon Me-morial” will be on May 1 and will include the Slide for 5. The “World of Outlaw Late Models” return on Thursday night, May 13. On May 15 it will be “Topless Night” as all weekly division will run minus their roofs. “Wings & Things” for the Late Models will take place May 22 and the URC Sprints make their second stop on “R.C. Holloway Night” May 29.

For more information and the complete schedule log on to www.delawareracing.com. Fans can now also keep up to date on both Facebook and Twitter by becoming fans of Delaware Racing. For more information contact the speedway office at (302) 875-1911 or by e-mail at [email protected].

The table below outlines the additional tax rate and total tax rate per $100 of assessed value for the life of the bonds to be authorized by this referendum. To determine the dollar amount of additional tax or total tax (for each year) that will result from the pas-sage of this referendum, multiply the assessed value (not market value) of your home by the tax rate given and divide by 100.

The assumptions used in the above calculations are as follows:

Assumed Interest Rate at Time of Each Bond Sale = 5.50%Assumed Yearly Increase In Assessed Value of Property In Laurel = 1.3% (Same As Last Year)State & Local Funding Will Phase In Over 6 Years As Described

* 20 YEAR BOND PURCHASED** 20 YEAR BOND PAID OFFAll twenty (20) year bonds are phased in over a five (5) year period immediately after the passage of the referendum. Consequently, they are paid off over a five (5) year period at the end of the twenty (20) year life of each bond.

Celebrate St. Patrick’s with corned beef & cabbageFairies and leprechauns and

pots of gold – the magical signs of spring’s rebirth. With the wearing of the green, we encourage crops to grow and flowers to bloom and the celebration of St. Patrick’s Day be-comes not only a tribute to the Irish people but a fitting welcome to a joyous season. Everybody may not be Irish but everybody likes spring!

Of all the dishes associated with the Irish, Corned Beef and Cab-bage would certainly be the first to come to most minds. I was very surprised to read that, contrary to this com-monly held perception, it is rarely eaten in Ireland.

According to cookbook writer, Darina Allen, corned beef was once very popular because preserving or “corning” large cuts of meat was essential in the era before refrigeration. Today, its popularity has certainly diminished except among “older people.”

Her theory is that because the Irish economy has strengthened considerably, people’s tastes have become more sophis-ticated and their diets have changed to match. But immigrants who fled during the famine brought corned beef and cab-bage with them to the states and it became “sort of like a cult food.” The memories of the country they left and its traditions remained a constant.

That said, Allen contends that corned beef is ready for a comeback. Young chefs are turning to the past for inspiration, high-lighting lots of peasant foods. Her family recipe is wonderful and even more deli-cious as leftovers.

Here are some of chef Allen’s tips for creating the perfect corned beef:

• When buying corned beef, be sure to get “ready-to-cook” not precooked meat. Allen says the meat should be nice and firm and not bright pink. “If it’s too bright pink they’ve used too many nitrates,” she says. Brisket is the most common cut of corned beef you’ll find at the grocery store (get the leaner flat-cut brisket if you can find it).

• To keep your carrots, onions, and cab-bage from turning to mush, be sure to use large pieces. Allen uses carrots that are two inches in diameter and cuts them into chunks three or four inches long. She cuts large onions into quarters or uses whole small onions, and quarters a whole cab-bage and adds it after the meat and other veggies have stewed for a while.

If you’d like, you can also add white turnips, rutabaga or celeriac. To stop the meat from getting tough, keep it covered with water at all times (add more hot wa-ter if it cooks down), and once the liquid comes to a boil, reduce the heat, cover the pot and let it simmer.

“Don’t have it at a mad rolling boil all the time,” says Allen. “Once it comes to the boil, it can just simmer along gently then. That will keep it nice and tender and won’t toughen the meat.”

• Allen offers this excellent tip for tell-ing when the meat is cooked: “Before it’s cooked, if you put a skewer or carving fork in the meat, you will be able to lift the piece of meat up on the carving fork, but when it’s cooked, the skewer will come straight out of it without lifting it up.”

• Serve the corned beef and cabbage with potatoes boiled in their skins or champ (mashed potatoes with scallions, milk and butter).

For either, Allen recommends Yukon Gold potatoes, which are about as close as you’ll get to Irish potatoes in the U.S. “Irish potatoes are very floury and kind of dry,” explains Allen.

“Some people don’t like them because they’re used to waxy potatoes, but we love

those floury potatoes with lots of good Irish butter on them or the juices of corned beef.”

• To serve with the meat, make fresh mustard in a flash by mixing dry mustard powder with water. “Real mustard is the thing to serve with this,” says Allen, who recommends Coleman’s brand. “Not the ready-mix stuff that’s only for wimps.”

Mezuzah at Governor’s mansionGovernor Jack A. Markell, in a

ceremony with rabbis and others from Delaware’s Jewish community, placed the first Mezuzah at the Governor’s Mansion, Woodburn.

This is the first time that a governor of Jewish faith is residing in Woodburn.

Mezuzah, literally translated means “doorpost.” The Mezuzah is a small case containing a scroll of parchment with two chapters from the Torah in which God commands the faithful to keep His words in their minds and hearts. It is meant to serve as a constant reminder of God’s presence and com-mandments.

The Mezuzah was given to the gov-ernor as an inauguration gift and was placed on the door frame of French doors in the parlor on the first floor.

How to deal with a chronic coughIt wakes you up in the middle of the

night. It disrupts your day. And, it leaves you gasping for air and grasping for an-swers. Why won’t that nagging cough go away?

If you have a chronic cough, you’re not alone. Last year, coughing accounted for 30-million doctors’ visits in the United States, and was the fourth leading reason for patients to go to their doctor. And, there are many Americans with “chronic coughs” lasting for years.

“While some coughs are relatively benign, others could be the sign of some-thing much worse, such as cancer,” said Bayhealth Pulmonologist Hakim Azfar Ali, MBBS, MD, FCCP.

“There are so many possible causes for a cough. It starts with cough receptors in your brain, and then there could be is-sues with your stomach, your lungs, your throat or even your heart. It could even stem from other medications such as ACE inhibitors,” said Dr. Ali.

Ali notes that upper airway problems in the nose, throat and sinuses cause up to 40 percent of coughs. Asthma is responsible

for about 20 percent of coughs. Stomach acid reflux accounts for about 15 percent of cases. Then, there are the less common instances when chronic coughing is the symptom for a far more serious condition such as cancer. In some rare instances, an enlarged atrium in the heart may press against nerves which trigger the cough re-flex. However, smoking is by far the larg-est, most controllable cause of coughing.

“Smoking can cause bronchitis or em-physema, which triggers constant cough-ing,” said Dr. Ali.

Doctors can develop clues through an exam. If there are still no definitive answers, diagnostics such as X-Rays, CT-Scans, and bronchoscopies may provide additional clues to the doctor. After a diag-nosis, treatment can be a slow process.

“Treatment may take months or years. And, patients have to be compliant and not stop their medication just because they don’t see results in the first few days,” said Dr. Ali. Hakim Azfar Ali, MBBS, MD, FCCP, is a pulmonologist at Bay-health Medical Center. To schedule an ap-pointment, call 674-7155.

Chart predicts height and weightBy Dr. Anthony Policastro

Obesity continues to be a problem. In fact, over the years, obesity has become more of a problem in children. There are different ways to explain to parents about their children being overweight.

When you tell a parent that their child is overweight, we see several reactions. The most common is to just take the infor-mation in. There seems to be a sense that just because a child is overweight now, there will not be a problem later. Other parents become angry and take the infor-mation personally. They act like you are accusing them of making their child over-weight. This reaction makes the diagnosis difficult to deal with.

I have found that one way of addressing weight issues is by using growth charts. There are standard growth curves that we use. We find the child’s age on the growth chart and plot their height and weight which allows us to do several things. The first is that we can compare the child’s height and weight to other children his/her age. For example, if the child is average height and weight, then they are consid-ered average. If height is above average, they are tall for their age. If the weight

matches the height, then they are the right weight for their height.

The second thing we can do is predict what to expect in the future. Usually, there is no predictive value to a single measure-ment. However, I frequently see children for whom I have 5, 6 or 7 years worth of measurements. When that happens, it is more accurate to predict the future height and weight. When we have several years of measurements, we can usually accu-rately predict the child’s final height. I can also look at the weight and tell them that prediction.

If I tell a parent their child is over-weight, it might or might not make an impression. However, if I predict that their child will weigh 300 or 350 pounds when they are full grown, it usually makes a more distinct impression. Telling parents what they can expect in the future is some-times a shock.

It is important to pay attention to our children’s weight. The question might not be how much they weigh now but rather how much they will weigh when they are grown. This is a good conversation for parents to have with their child’s doctor before the weight gets to the point where it is clearly too much.

How much our lifestyles, manners and day-to-day living have changed through the years came into front and center view on a trip to one of our favorite restaurants for what we thought would be an enjoyable meal after at-tending church on a recent Sunday.

We had barely been seated and placed our meal order when a group of ten came into the dining room. Ages of the group ranged from grandparents down to several small children. The youngest appeared to be about five or six years old.

The group had also been to church. We could tell this by the discussion some of the members were having regarding the pastor’s sermon. By the tone of some of the voices, the pastor to this group was on the hot seat since he had said something they obviously did not agree with.

The group was well mannered, the children were busy playing with the small table game provided by the waitress. And then the bubble burst. Quick as a flash the youngest child reached out and literally grabbed the purse belonging to her mother, spilled several of the contents on the tabletop and proceeded to dig into the purse in search of who knows what.

Suddenly the child’s mother realized what was happening, grabbed the purse, snatched the child by the shoulder and gave her a large shake, then swatted the shoulder of the child with a heavy slap. Naturally the little girl be-gan crying and shouting to her mother at the same time. In short order, the young mother grabbed the purse, hit the child, and in a loud voice that could be heard throughout the room told the child, “Shut up or you will really get it!” With that the child looked at her father, then at her mother and responded, “You shut up, too.”

At this point, the rest of the group appeared to be embarrassed, but not the young parents. The mother explained to the father that she was sick of the kid rifling through her purse and implied that the young father was the cause of the problem. Once again the mother told the child to “shut up” in a rather loud voice. And in a speedy reverse mood, asked the kid what she wanted for her meal! As the child placed her order for French fries and a soda, she continued to sniffle and once again told her mother to “shut up.”

Believe me, I wasn’t the only person there who was trying to inconspicuously watch what was happening. My first thought was how times have changed through the years.

Never, never ever, in the 62 years of my life that my mother lived, would I have thought of telling her to “shut up.” Those two words were on the “do not ever speak those words in this house” list. By the same token, in all of those years of living with or near my mother, did I here her tell anyone “shut up.” She told us to be quiet, or “quiet down,” but never used the harsh words, “shut up.”

Unfortunately, those two words seem to be the “in” words in general speech in our society in today’s world. Several times recently I have heard television personalities say, “Shut up.” The phrase has been used in place of “You’re kidding me,” or other phrases that could have been used.

What’s more, never would it have occurred to me to rifle through my mother’s purse. This was something that would incur punishment I don’t even want to think about. My generation was told to speak with respect to our parents and other elders. We were also taught to re-spect others and their belongings.

We were the generation who grew up with most mothers who did not work away from home, did not go out to a restaurant except for a very special occasion and who grew up and lived in a totally different world than today’s youth. Young people of today’s world can-not imagine that some of us enjoyed what the modern kids refer to as “so little.”

We did not have cell phones, personal computers or our own plush automobiles. We walked all over town or wherever we wanted to go for the most part rather than expect to be driven. We had a curfew, did not have shop-ping malls and enjoyed family outings.

Most definitely, even in our wildest dreams, would we have ever thought of telling our parents, “Shut up.” Younger generations stare in wonder as some of us recall the “good old days.” They feel we were underprivileged, and place us in the same generation as the pil-grims who settled in this nation.

Times have certainly changed!

Something new, new for the start of this newletter. Two new baby boys to introduce.

Maxine Lynch called to tell me that her daughter and husband, Bobbi and Brian Joseph announce the birth of a boy, Brice Michael, born on March 1, weighing nine pounds 14 ounces and was 21 inches long. He also has a big sister at home to help spoil him.

Kathi Hastings and Brian Green are being congratulated on the birth of Bryce Kasan, born at Nanticoke Hospital on March 3 weighing nine pounds three ounces. The Maternal grand parents are Sherry and Mark Hastings and Mike Hastings of Bridgeville and the paternal grand parents are Jay and Bobbi Green of Delmar.

Returned home at last are Dot Hick-man and Sandy Littleton fresh from a trip to Florida (during the blizzard here) visit-ing Sammy and Lynn Tyndall. Returning home during this nightmarish weather and cancelled air flights I understand they were stranded for a couple of days in Charlotte, N.C. But that’s O.K. I’m sure Sandy took her knitting and probably finished one sock or half a scarf; don’t know how Dot passed the time!

The Laurel class of ‘59 lady members will meet for lunch on March 17, St. Pat’s day. For more information on time and place, contact Peggy Ralph at 875-5566 or Betsy Davis at 875-7091.

The Red Hat Ladies “Lunch Bunch” will enjoy a leisurely lunch at Zia’s in Salisbury on March 16. On Saturday, March 13, the

gals gather at the Dutch Inn for breakfast and to catch up on current events.

Time to jump in and fill out your forms to sign up for the Historical Society’s Road Rally on Saturday, March 20. It’ll be a fun day with traveling around locally, sort of like a scavenger hunt, with refreshments at the end of the line. It’s the first day of spring and beautiful weather is practically bound to prevail. For more info on this event, call Ann at 875-7467.

Our first really great week-end just passed, and so cousins Cheryl and Donnie Dwyer of Glen Burnie decided to celebrate it by visiting Darrell and Charlene Meade in Bethel, and then were entertained with a family dinner on Sunday. There was the good old Eastern Shore “vittils” of Chicken ‘n’ dumplins’. Donnie was not familiar with slippery dumplings (he called them noodles) but he soon was able to slip down a gener-ous helping of them!

Mr. and Mrs. Lee P. Riggin observed their 65th wedding anniversary on Sunday, March 7. Their children, Robert S. Riggin and wife, Debbie, and daughter Connie L. and her husband Brian Rice, hosted their parents for a celebratory dinner at Britt’s Dutch Inn to observe the occasion. Con-gratulations, and many more!

I have been asked to clarify the facts on being eligible for a scholarship through the Laurel Alumni Association. An eligible

student is one whose parents or associate member graduated from Laurel School and has been a paying member for the last three consecutive years prior to the student’s graduation.

Here’s a reminder for a most interesting program to be held at the library on March 18, 7 p.m., when Ed O’Konowicz tells us all about Eastern Shore culinary delights such as muskrat (?) recipes, the story of scrapple and many more shore fares and dining cus-toms.

We express our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of: Minnie Culver, Donna Elaine Hall, Granville Ellis, Jr., Craig Ham-mond, Granville Whaley and James Chal-fant, Jr.

We continue with prayers for our service men and women and our friends who are ill: Cecile Jones, Barbara Wainright, Mary Wilson, Jean Henry, Walt Dorman, Byrd Whaley, Hattie Puckham, Rita Baker, Su-san Levredge, Robert Truitt, Calvin Hearn, Dot Murphy, Jean Foskey, Conner Niblett, June Benson Powell, Dr. W. Pierce Ellis, Rita Brex, Jennings, Ruby and Cindy Wil-liams, Charlie and Theodosia Gordy, Robert Dukes, Hazel Brumbley, Geraldine Taylor, Fr. Howard Bacus, Fred Sullivan and Betty Chandler.

Happy birthday wishes for March to: Charlene Hearn (12), Shirley Lloyd (13), Jean Fuller (14), Betty Trice, LeRoy Scriba (15), Richard Spicer (17) and Randy Lee (18).

In memory of my dear friend, Minnie Culver. “She was an angel indeed!”

A view on Laurel Schools concerning the Referendum

My name is Ed Carmine. I am a life long resident and member of the business community in Laurel. I felt it was my re-sponsibility to get involved in the upcom-ing referendum because I feel that now is not the time to be raising taxes.

I set out to learn more about the ref-erendum & the current conditions of the schools. I have finished touring the schools, with my last stop being the high school yesterday. I spent 2 hours there and 1/2 hour at the superintendent’s office again after that. I had no idea how political the school system is.

My concerns fell on deaf ears at the superintendent’s office. They want their “piece of the pie” as they say. They don’t understand the ramifications of the refer-endum from a business standpoint nor do they share my concerns of putting the cart before the horse in respect to hoping that businesses will want to move here because of the new schools regardless of the higher taxes that would put our district the high-est in the county.

In these days our federal government, state government, and county governments struggle to balance their budgets. Our citizens are fighting high unemployment and lack of jobs in the area. Our farmers have a tough year ahead of them as well. We also must take into consideration the corruption at our local level both in our school district and our town.

Our state does not have 100 million dollars to give us for construction. Our state has to sell bonds to come up with the money. The state also relies on the Triple A bond rating it has. If that bond rating drops during the next 20-25 years will our schools get shortchanged or will our taxes go up even higher to pay the difference? I was told yesterday that is the way projects get done in our state.

There is no state law preventing our district from using state funds for renova-tion. I feel our district and referendum committee has purposely misled the com-munity by repeatedly stating that the funds could not be used to renovate.

I’ve spent an hour at West Laurel and an hour at North Laurel, two hours at the middle/intermediate school, two hours at the high school, and an hour and a half total at the superintendent’s office over the course of the last few days. I’ve spoken to administrators, principals, teachers, nurses, custodians, Mr. Maranucci, Mr. Venables, and quite a few concerned citizens and business owners in this town. I have been down in every boiler room, maintenance closet, several classrooms, nurses’ offices,

cafeterias, etc. In every school I asked to be shown the worst of the worst as to at-tain reasoning behind the school district’s decision. I also inquired about funding, whether or not the staff felt they were be-ing funded properly. I asked about our new superintendent’s performance and atten-dance in the schools. I have tried to leave no stone unturned.

In my opinion the Middle/Intermedi-ate School is the worst building in the district, and the only one that should be torn down. It’s the only school left with oil boilers. They are overcrowded. The plas-ter and paint is falling off the walls. The plumbing is atrocious. The inefficiency of the heating system was terribly evident when while walking the school I turned a corner to see an entire class plus teacher in the hallway because the temperature in the classroom was every bit of 90 degrees.

The school has inadequate electrical service for all the technology that has been added to the school. The South side of the field house has had braces added to it because the roof has started to give way. I observed at least a half a dozen sink fixtures that had no hot water. The locker rooms had to have most of the lock-ers removed to accommodate the larger classes. The elevator that was installed for handicap access breaks down a lot and was broke down when I was there. A lot of the bathrooms are not handicap accessible. All of this is even echoed in some of the students’ work I’ve seen on the bulletin boards there.

West Laurel was my next stop. The main issues at that school are the roof leaks and the overcrowding. The pre-K classes are held in a trailer off the side of the school. There is quite a bit of room be-hind that school to add on and even build another parking lot, as parking is an issue during events there. Their boilers have been upgraded to gas and their boiler room appeared much cleaner and nicer than the boiler room in the middle school even though it is a smaller room.

There is nothing at the school that a new roof and a new wing can’t fix. Perhaps upgrading the electrical service and some plumbing work. One has to understand that the majority of piping in the schools is cast iron and with that iron stains in the sinks and toilets are bound to happen but I can’t see tearing the entire school down because of it.

North Laurel was next. North Laurel is the best school in the district in my opin-ion. They also have quite a bit of unused land on that property on which the school

can be expanded. They suffer from over-crowding, roof leaks, iron stains, a poorly designed auditorium that echoes sound. Again mostly mechanical issues.

The forced air heat units in the rooms are outdated and should be replaced. That school has partial central air in the ‘90s wing and the ‘90s cafeteria/auditorium, perhaps that can be expanded to the entire school. Its boiler room was the nicest I’ve seen in the entire district. They also have gas boilers.

They don’t have the heating irregulari-ties like the other schools, according to the staff. According to the Questions & Answers document provided by the district the demolition of North Laurel will cost $3.3 million to tear down the best school in the district. Think about that.

The high school was my last stop. The general feeling in the district is that this school is the worst school. Even I jumped on that bandwagon initially.

The high school is in decent shape. They are suffering some overcrowding as well. I’d like to see the heating and cooling units removed from the roof and placed on the ground. Replacement of the flat roof with a pitched standing seam roof would further ensure the buildings longev-ity. The partitions added in the ‘80s should all be removed and walls rebuilt with more electrical service. The duct work should be replaced and properly reinstalled to allow sufficient airflow throughout the school. What I did not see is any good reason to tear down a perfectly good building. The roof does leak in one spot in the gymna-sium at the moment and removal of the units from the roof would certainly help its future condition if we chose to hold off on roof replacement. There is plenty of room on that lot to expand the high school as well in my opinion.

I want to note that the custodial team in this district is quite admirable. These guys do the best with what they are given and come to aid at a moment’s notice. It is quite a selfless job. They are quite proud to be here and I’m proud to have them in our district.

Our teachers and principals are some of the nicest folks I’ve had the privilege of meeting and speaking to. They, like the custodians, do the best they can with what they have. I would really like to help them with the problems in our schools, but I dis-agree wholeheartedly with the current ref-erendum proposal. In my opinion this not the time to build an entirely new school district. Individuals & businesses are all struggling during these tough economic times to make ends meet. I feel that $36

million is too much of an investment to be asking for at one time.

Now that the community is aware of this problem, we can start to work on so-lutions as a whole. It is a shame that the district withheld all of the problems and let them compound year after year without let us in the community know what is going on.

As far as Mr. McCoy is concerned. He is in a tough spot. He’s new. A lot of us don’t know him. He has been the main promoter of the referendum. Thus the scru-tiny of his job is bound to happen.

In speaking with the staff at the schools the majority echoed that he is much bet-ter than what we used to have and that he does go into the schools and the class-rooms and is there often. He took the time to speak to me yesterday and I appreciate that, but we do not see eye to eye on the referendum. I respect his opinion as, I hope, he respects mine.

My last concern is the financial disposi-tion of the district. There are no checks and balances in place to prevent further misappropriation of funds. I have a couple questions about the school’s budget that cannot be answered because there is no one in the finance manager’s position that can answer them at the moment.

Even the folks at the superintendent’s office seemed clueless about their budget. There should be more than one person overseeing the finances of this district. Un-til that changes I am hesitant on approving any funding increase.

I’ve tried to include everything I’ve seen and heard over the last few days and weeks. I’ve tried to be an unbiased ob-server. Now it’s up to you, the citizens and taxpayers of this community to make your own observations and decisions.

Note to readersIn the past the Laurel Star has been

criticized for running letters that are in op-position to the referendum. However, we feel the paper has an obligation to be fair to those on both sides of an issue.

Since this referendum is so important to the future of the Laurel School District, we will publish in the next edition any let-ters or comments, pro or con, that we can verify.

We will not publish any letters concern-ing the referendum in the March 25 edition for this reason: If some misinformation is printed in that edition, we would not have another edition before the March 31 refer-endum to set the record straight.

Letters to the Editor

As the U.S. Chamber of Commerce was preparing its American Free Enterprise “Dream Big” campaign, we asked our-selves and many others an important ques-tion: What do we value most about living in a country powered by free enterprise? Here is our top 10 list, in no particular order:

(1) Jobs. Free enterprise is the only sys-tem that can create the 20 million jobs that we’ll need in the next decade.

(2) Opportunity. Regardless of wealth, status, or background, you have a chance to rise as high as your talent and hard work can take you.

(3) Freedom of Choice. You are free to choose your own path. No one picks your profession or limits what you can do or become.

(4) Innovation. Free enterprise encour-ages it, embraces it, and rewards it. Free enterprise excels in developing solutions.

(5) Small Business. Almost anyone in America can start a business if he or she really wants to. The barriers are low, the opportunities are endless, and if you fail, you can get up off the floor and try again.

(6) Mobility. No other society offers so many avenues for individuals, families, and succeeding generations to move up the

ladder of success.(7) Quality of Life. Free enterprise

supports a quality of life that previous generations could only dream of. We are living longer and enjoying an unsurpassed level of material comforts because of free enterprise.

(8) A Progressive Society. A strong economy, powered by free enterprise, gen-erates revenues to educate our children, care for the sick and elderly, provide com-passionate support for the less fortunate, and clean our environment.

(9) A Better World. The size and suc-cess of our free enterprise economy has given the United States an unmatched capacity to address global challenges and improve the world.

(10) The American Dream. It could not exist without free enterprise, for it is our economic freedom that enables us to achieve our dreams. It is free enter-prise that breathes life into the promise of America — that a better life is always within our grasp and our country’s best days are yet to come.

These are the reasons why we think that the free enterprise system is worth keeping and worth standing up for. Please tell us your reasons and take the free enterprise

pledge by visiting www.FreeEnterprise.com.

Last laughA man requires surgery to remove his

left leg. He consults with the surgeon; plans are made for surgery the next morn-ing. Morning comes and the surgeon ar-rives still intoxicated from a night on the

town. He removes the left leg only after mistakenly removing the right. Needless to say the patient, after recovering, visits an attorney.

However, the lawyer regrettably tells him he doesn’t have a leg to stand on.
