CAPE LIFE
Seaside Pointe staff recognizes volunteers at social
A Volunteer Recognition Ice Cream Social was held at
Brandywine Assisted Living at Seaside Pointe in Rehoboth
Beach on Sunday afternoon, April 9, coordinated by Cheryl
Jankowski, activities coordinator. Above, Jankowski, second
from left, stands with four honorees, including her three chil-
dren, who help with the residents at Seaside Pointe, espe-
cially in the Alzheimer's unit. When the residents may have
had to be evacuated during Hurricane Floyd last September,
her children helped them pack and prepare and entertained
them in the arts and crafts. With them is Rose Glodek, a
member of the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP),
Seaside's first volunteer. Shown in the photograph (l-r) are
Anthony Jankowski, Cheryl Jankowski, Angela Jankowski,
Cynthia Jankowski Coleman and Rose Glodek.

Members of Eagle's Nest Church near Milton visit Seaside Pointe twice a week and hold a
service there every week. It was noted that if there's ever a fire or flood, Eagle's Nest has
offered its facility to the residents, said Jankowski from the podium. They include (l-r)
Frank Murray, Rhoda and Flip Domenic, Jana Hood and Elaine Betts. Eagle's Nest Pastor
Carl Vincent, who also visits regularly, was unable to attend the social Below, four special
volunteers are honored (l-r) Edwin Thress, pastor of the Lutheran Church of Our Savior, who
visits the residence at least once a week; Alberta Favinger with the group Three Hits and a
Miss, who plays piano at the center; Thorn Pemberton from Epworth United Methodist
Church who also plays piano, and Phyllis Bemis, who conducts Bible study once a week.
Soon, Jankowski plans to begin a Brandystripers program at Seaside through Volunteer
Link, with student volunteers visiting with the residents. For details, call her at 226-8750.

Early signs of tourist season upon us
The other day I watched aman
park a car. He moved it forward
and backward, until over a period
of time, I became slightly nau-
seous. It was like Buzz Aldrin
guiding the spacecraft down,
down, inching so carefully, for it's
first lunar landing. No small feat,
since this car was about the size of
the "Eagle." But it was a success-
ful landing, one small step for
man and one giant step for the
Jeep Cherokee parked behind
him,
Then he got out of the car and
proceeded to examine the parking
meter as if it was an alien being
from "Close Encounters of the
Third Kind." He closely scanned
the top, then the bottom and final-
ly both sides.
Like most aliens, who find
themselves in a resort community,
the meter did not speak.
Eventually, his wife peered
through the hole in the top and
discovered the date for stuffing
the equivalent of the cost of a
AROUND TOWN
quadruple bypass was not in
effect.
And so it begins. The early
signs of the upcoming tourist sea-
son. This scenario took place in
Lewes. In Rehoboth, the scenario
is slightly different. A tourist trav-
elling north on Rehoboth Avenue
will spot a parking place located
on the south side of the avenue,
which would entail going in the
opposite direction. The tourist
will then cross four lanes of traf-
fic, including a meridian, narrow-
ly missing a seeing-eye dog and
cruise into the spot, sending wid-
ows and orphans fleeing for the
safety of large branches hanging
from the trees. Another successful
landing, except for a massive pile
up on the other side of the avenue.
One small step for man and one
giant step for the new officer who
gets to use, for the first time, the
phrase, "You have the right to
remain silent, you moron."
But there are no parking meters
up in Rehoboth yet, mainly
because the injuries from the sum-
mer are more severe and it takes
months before they are released
from the "Parking Meter
Rehabilitation Center for the Very,
Very Nervous." Also, most
tourists are under the impression
that the rules of parking are dictat-
ed by whatever motor vehicle
clerk, who was out to lunch when
the test was corrected, issued your
license in whatever county, in
whatever state, in whatever coun-
"try, in whatever planet.
And so it begins. The traffic
heading south on Route One has
picked up considerably. Already
the weaving in and out, the tail-
gating, the blah, blah, blah on the
cell phones has commenced in
large numbers. And that's just
from the local population,, who
will swear they are in training for
the upcoming season.
Women, in particular, do not
like going out on the roads during
this time. We are still not comfort-
able in any situation where you
cannot take the time to find some-
thing marked down on sale, and
this is especially true in a vehicle
going 90 mile sper hour. In
upholding the highest tradition of
where are you going, who are you
going to be with and what time
will you be home, we are consid-
ered careful drivers.
We still drive far over on the
right hand side. Not only are we
an uptight breed when it comes to
driving, but nonfunctioning
uteruses do not allow us to go
beyond the speed limit. Enter any
car after a woman has been dri-
ving and you will find the seat
pulled forward so that the steering
wheel is wedged slightly into the
appendix, or if you've had an
appendectomy it will cut through
a portion of the large intestine. We
are tense and prepared. Our trunks
are filled with first aid kits, flares,
blankets, flashlights, gloves, hats,
umbrellas and the occasional pic-
ture of Paul Newman, circa "Cat
on a Hot Tin Roof."
Yes, the countdown has begun.
With less than seven weeks until
Memorial Day, the driving and
parking problems have intensified
by sheer numbers.
For women this means one
small step for man and one giant
step for a prescription for
PremPro, a hormone replacement
therapy.
