We as a community should
have the opportunity to cast away
the noted perception of impropri-
ety, guarantee fair elections and
then begin to truly make Cape
great.

Rehoboth Beach
Reader takes Cape
superintendent to task
The following letter was sent to
Cape Henlopen School District
superintendent Dr. George Stone,
with a copy submitted to the Cape
Gazette for publication.
This is in regard to your letter
responding to my letter in the
April 24 edition of the Cape
Gazette.
I fail to see the relevance in you
pointing out that you are "an edu-
cator, not a politician." Whatever
you are, you should have the
wherewithal to know that if you
do not want to be accountable to
the taxpayers, you should stop
cashing your paychecks.
Conversely, if you continue to
cash your paychecks, you are
obligated to succin't accountabil-
ity, which thus far has proven to
be ambiguous and disingenuous at
best.
I agree that "it is unfortunate
that you do not have more time to
establish and implement educa-
-tional programs." However, you
must know that dogmatic duplici-
ty and vacillating are not conclu-
sive to time management. In other
words, you made your bed, as did
the board members. Cape to Great
cannot be achieved under the
direction of current administra-
tors, officials and the like, without
them first cleaning up the mess
they created. The voters voted
themselves a tax increase to meet
the educational development of
our children. However, that vote
does not equivocate to handing
over millions of dollars to a group
of individuals that have proven to
be untrustworthy.
Lastly, you mention that you
will continue to serve Cape's stu-
dents by giving them "100 per-
cent" of your energy. If recent
months are indicative of your 100
percent, you might consider dial-
ing back the percentage of energy
you are giving our students. They
might not be able to withstand
your 100 percent long-term.
Your time and attention are
appreciated.

From the mid-20th century in Rehoboth Beach
In the 19fs, the Hotel Henlopen at the north end of the Boardwalk was the belle of
Rehoboth's hotels with its graceful architecture and premier location overlooking the
Atlantic Ocean and Lake Gerar. With its color-coordinated beach umbrellas and chairs, and
full-service restaurant and snack bar, the Henlopen served as its own beach club. This struc-
ture was badly damaged by the March storm of 1962, leading eventually to its total demoli-
tion and replacement with the present structure.
American Cancer Society
Daffodil Days project.
As the first flower of spring, the
daffodil symbolizes hope and
rebirth, and through its Daffodil
Days program and your support,
the American Cancer Society is
able to bring that hope to every.
one affected by cancer.
Since it was founded in 1913,
the American Cancer Society has
had the same mission of eliminat-
ing cancer as a major health prob-
lem. The funds raised by Daffodil
Days over the past 33 years have
helped in this mission of prevent-
ing cancer, saving lives, and
diminishing suffering from the
disease through research, educa-
tion, advocacy, and patient servic-
es.
Since 1946, the American
Cancer Society has funded more
than $2.8 billion in cancer
research. The Society also strives
to educate the public in order to
prevent cancer and catch it early
through programs, as well as
advocating for laws that will help
eliminate cancer and make the
cancer experience less burden-
some for patients and their fami-
lies.
In Sussex County patient serv-
ice programs such as Look Good,
Feel Better, Reach to Recovery,
Man to Man and Hope Lodge are
allowing those affected by cancer
a better quality of life. The funds
raised also allow access to cancer
information and services 24 hours
a day, seven days a week, through
the American Cancer Society's
National Cancer Information
Center at 800-ACS-2345 or by
visiting www.cancer.org.
We would like to thank the
organizing committees from both
sides of the county for their dedi-
cation to the mission of the
American Cancer Society. Your
efforts leading up to and during

Forever is a concept most of us
