about my condition but rather
about me as a person and how I
was doing - the state of my soul, if
you will. When I left his office, I
always left with a sense of peace
and well-being, whatever the cir-
cumstances of my medical situa-
tion were. In the past, I've dis-
cussed in the Delaware General
Assembly the importance of fami-
ly physicians in the life of a com-
munity and I was always thinking
of Dr. Klingel as I spoke. The
need for the kind of caring medi-
cine practiced by men and women
like Dr. Klingel will never pass.
He was a true friend and an out-
standing, community-spirited
physician, not only to me, but to
generations of area residents.

DelDOT drops ball
Last week DelDOT, without de-
tour markings, started work on
resurfacing Rt. 1A into Rehoboth
(Rehoboth Avenue Extended),
complete with flagpersons to con-
trol traffic as flow was limited to
one lane. Traffic, at times, due to
the amount of local usage and no
detours being posted, backed up to
the light at County Bank on Route
1 and to the Sea Horse in Re-
hoboth for vehicles leaving the
city. Comments from Bruce Lit-
tleton of DelDOT that this project
(due to be completed Sept. 26) is
being handled like all other pro-
jects, which should be an embar-
rassment to DelDOT.
The travelling public, visitors to
the area and the people of the
State of Delaware deserve better.
The fact that all the mobile sign
boards were at Dover for the races
and not available in Sussex Coun-
ty is irresponsible as the simple
orange signs that preceeded the
electronic sign boards are still
available.
The excuse that closing (detour-
ing) traffic causes complaints
from local businesses is not valid.
In this case, signage for "local
traffic only" and "detour IA" di-
recting traffic to 1B into town
would be easy and responsible,
but obviously DelDOT isn't try-
ing enough to make it safe and
easy. This specific situation could
have been solved Monday after-
noon or Tuesday morning, but
when DelDOT holds off long
enough, the project gets done and
only the public waits and is unrea-
sonably inconvenienced.
Not properly marking alternate
routes is not a top management
job, however, with all the other
problems DelDOT has these days,
it would appear that top manage-
ment needs to become involved
and/or put responsible people in
place to correct these types of
problems from happening here or
elsewhere in the future. Common
sense and DelDOT are obviously
not synonomous.
