CAPE GAZETTE, Friday, Jan. 19 - Jan. 25, 2001 - 81
Cape Region's bacl0000trd bird count is fast approaching
A bid of high-tech bird counting
will take place from Feb. 16 to 19.
That's when the Audubon Society
hopes that people will take part in
The Great Backyard Bird Count.
It works like this. People watch
bird feeders and backyards and re-
port their bird counts online
through BirdSource. The data col-
lected will be combined with oth-
er data to give a more complete
picture of winter bird populations.
Each year that these data are col-
lected makes them more impor-
tant and meaningful.
Enter your sightings online
through BirdSource at http://bird-
source.corneU.edu/.

Tips from Bill's
Bill's has begun submitting a se-
ries of fishing tips and suggestions
during the winter mopths. The fol-
OUTDOORS
lowing is this week's suggestions
for trolling up some inshore action
around the buoy lines. You can
pretty much count on Mother's
Day as the official arrival date of
schools of slammer blues ranging
between eight and 15 pounds. The
water temperature is close to 60
degrees.
Troll between four and six knots
while putting longlines out far be-
hind the boat. Many times you'll
get three or four knockdowns at
the same time. Look for the birds
and work a circle around the
school. Do not go through the
school as it will chase the fish
down.
Blues will hit many kinds of
lures. We troll rag mops, hoochies
and pony tails made with
iumaflex material which is resist-
ant to teeth marks. Surgical tubing
and cedar plugs are also popular.
As the water temperature rises,
bonita, albacore, king mackerel,
dolphin and an occasional wahoo
appear between A Buoy and the
Delaware Lightship.
Better notice requirements
Legislation to increase public
notice requirements in the event
of environmental violations is due
to be introduced.
"Clearly, the public has ex-
pressed an interest in receiving
more information about environ-
mental situations that occur in
their neighborhoods. This bill is
designed to enhance the amount
of information that gets communi-
cated directly to the public," said
Delaware Department of Natural
Resources and Environmental
Control (DNREC) Secretary
Nicholas DiPasquale.
Governor Ruth Ann Minner
said "In the past year, Secretary
DiPasquale and his agency have
made great strides improving the
public notification procedures on
environmental regulations...With
Sen. [David] McBride's leader-
ship and the full support of my ad-
ministration, this legislation will
greatly improve the information
available on a facility's environ-
mental violations and its history
of complying with environmental
permits and regulations. It is my
hope that this initiative will help
bring us a step closer to ensuring
the safety of each Delawarean,
starting with the air we breathe."
Mark your calendar
A safe boating course will be
taught from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sat-
urday, Feb. 3 at South Bethany
Beach Town Hall by Coast Guard
Auxiliary Flotilla 1201. Cost is
$7. Call 539-2567 or 539-6023 for

Arts and S00::iences
Academy now offers
in tramu ral s ports
By Bridin Reynolds-Hughes
Sussex Academy of Arts and
Sciences announced in November
"We've got game!" when co-edu-
cational, intramural basketball
was added to the roster of activi-
ties available to students of the
new school.
The academy is Sussex Coun-
ty's first charter school and offers
accelerated academics for middle
school students. They opened for
their first school year in 2000 with
a full enrollment of 225 sixth, sev-
enth and eighth grade students.
"We had 60 kids sign up for af-
ter school basketball. That is one
third of the school," said parent-
coach Marc-Antoine Lopez
Due to the number of students
interested in playing, coach Lopez
put together six teams. Wednes-
days had to be added to the pro-
posed Tuesday and Thursday
schedule in order for each team to
play.
Coed is the name of the game
and the students seem to enjoy it.
"We are all just having fun. It
doesn't matter at this level," said
seventh grader Tyler Humpton.
"We've got the speed but the
boys are taller,' said sixth grader
Brandy Jester. "Sometimes the
boys don't pass to the girls but we
are competitive," said sixth grader
Elizabeth Hinkle.
The program would be greatly
enhanced with the addition of
more parent volunteers, according
to Lopez. He is looking for a once
a week commitment from parents
to help with the program, even
from those with little knowledge
of the specifics.
"The ideal would be three adults
on each day-: one working with
each of the two teams and the
third refereeing the game," said
Lopez.
''This is a fun way to.spend a
couple of hours. The coach keeps
it organized and fun," said eighth
grader Bradley Shutt. "Yeah, and
not that many things that are or-
ganized are fun," added Humpton.

available to the students in November. Shown (l-r) are students Tommy McMahon and
Brandy Jester. In the background are Laura and Elizabeth Hinkle.
Lopez anticipates the basketball
intramural to span 15 weeks of
play through April and may end
with a small school tournament.
Interscholastic play has also been
discussed but no decision has been
made.
The fields of Sussex Academy
were not ready for sports when
they commenced classes in the fall
but they hope to add soccer, base-
ball and softball as intramural
sports in the spring.
