Fair kicks off Club
Platinum program
Rehoboth Outlets contributed
to community wellness May 31,
when it sponsored its first health
• and safety fair in Rchoboth Outlet
Center 3. Booths, scattered
throughout the center, were
staffed by various health-care
providers, social service agencies,
government agencies and emer-

offered information about their
services; others had hands-on ac-
tivities or services.

get a variety of information, get
their blood pressure checked and
more."

"or better." Customers need only
go to the Rehoboth Outlets Cus-
tomer Service Center and register
for the card. Every Tuesday, par-
ticipating stores will offer dis-
counts to card holders. Most of
the stores in the centers partici-
pate, said Ackerman, and all those
who do have signs posted in their
shop windows to indicate they are
participants.

Fire Company, share a moment with William Bayko during
the Rehoboth Outlets Health & Safety Fair May 31. Sparky
became a member of the fire company in 1995, when Leonard
Tylecki, who was the company's president, obtained him for
the company to use in educational programs for children.
Sparky helps teach children to stop, drop and roll in the
event of a fire. In addition to going out with firefighters who
teach fire prevention programs, Sparky also helps give tours
of the Rehobeth firehouse, said Dyer, one of Sparky's dearest
friends.

Delaware State Police Mobile Community Services Center
recently secured a grant for displays pertaining to illegal
drugs. The display on the left, Drug Education Kit, shows
various types of drugs and drug paraphernalia. The middle
display, Cocaine Identification Kit, shows various forms of
cocaine and typical paraphernalia, along with information
about the drug's physiological effects on the human body.
The third display, Consequences of Drug Abuse, employs
three-dimensional models of human organs to show vein
damage, blood clots in the lungs, heart infection, brain infec-
tion, bullet wounds and liver disease. It also shows how drug
abuse can increase risk of birth defects and also introduce
hepatitis to the blood stream. The display is primarily used
by members of the Rural Community Policing Unit, which
travels throughout Sussex County. Much of the work troop-
ers in the unit perform involves interaction with youths.
