Auto repairs<br />
no rip <strong>of</strong>f<br />
GHS students second in state competition<br />
By ROBIN BROOMALL •<br />
NEWARK POST STAFF WRITER<br />
IT took more than 90 minutes,<br />
but when the 2004 Crown<br />
Victoria finally turned over,<br />
two Glasgow High School students<br />
felt a sigh <strong>of</strong> relief. With<br />
only two minutes to spare, Raul<br />
Juarez and Martin Duran quickly<br />
got into the car, pulled out <strong>of</strong> the<br />
pit and cruised into the judges<br />
circle in the Ford/ AAA Student<br />
Auto Skills Competition held in<br />
Dover.<br />
The tremendous last minute<br />
performance enabled GHS to<br />
capture second place in the statewide<br />
competition and both students<br />
received more than $17,000<br />
in scholarship <strong>of</strong>fers.<br />
Teams in competition were<br />
given vehicles that were purposely<br />
disabled and students had to<br />
diagnose the problem, repair it<br />
and get the vehicle moving. Of<br />
the six schools invited to participate,<br />
including vocational high<br />
schools, only two were able to<br />
get their cars started at the Dover<br />
Downs Raceway in April.<br />
Hodgson Vo-Tech High School in<br />
Glasgow had the first place team.<br />
"It was just a fuse," Duran<br />
said. It was something they had<br />
checked early on. The fuse<br />

WHAT does it mean to be an<br />
American? Americans have the<br />
ability to think out <strong>of</strong> the box,<br />
have that entrepreneurial spirit, according<br />
to students in AnRea Frederick's class.<br />
The eighth graders at Shue/Medill<br />
Middle School captured the essence <strong>of</strong> that<br />
spirit in a 5 feet by 12 feet long mural that<br />
was recently shipped to California to be<br />

seemed okay. But it was just in<br />
the wrong spot. They checked<br />
every other possible problem -<br />
electrical, fuel, air intake - before<br />
checking the fuses again. When<br />
they made a simple switch, the<br />
car purred like a kitten.<br />
Carmen Ford on DuPont<br />
Highway cooperated with the<br />
competition, providing a loaner<br />
vehicle for the students to<br />
become familiar with before<br />
going to the competition. They<br />
also got a manual for the vehicle<br />
ahead <strong>of</strong> time. All the vehicles<br />
had the same problem in competition.<br />
Everyone started out even.<br />
If the teams couldn't drive the<br />
cars, they didn't get judged.<br />
Juarez and Duran are both students<br />
in Jim Oettinger's auto<br />
repair classes, working on technology,<br />
aerodynamics, navigation,<br />
hydraulics and mechanics.<br />
They work on staff and students'<br />
cars in the shop, diagnosing ·and<br />
repairing similar problems they<br />
would find in autos taken to dealerships.<br />
They spent hours everyday<br />
after school preparing for the<br />
competition. They are both<br />
English Second Language students<br />
and had to work hard to<br />
understand the manual.<br />
"For them to do as well as<br />
they did against vo-tech schools<br />
is fantastic," Oettinger said. His<br />

auto repair students learn to do<br />
simple repairs, oil changes, tuneups,<br />
but not at the same level<br />
taught in vo-tech schools.<br />
Even if the students never go<br />
into auto repair as a career, or<br />
never work on their own cars,<br />
they become familiar with repair<br />
problems and can better diagnose<br />
potential problems, Oettinger<br />
said. The two classes average 45<br />
students, including a few girls.<br />
Duran has a Mitsubishi<br />
Eclipse and Juarez has a Mazda<br />
RX7. The class has helped them<br />
save money by doing repairs and<br />
regular maintenance correctly<br />
themselves, they said. They also<br />
work on family and friends' cars.<br />
Winning the competition gave<br />
both students opportunities to<br />
continue their auto training.<br />
Duran graduated June 3 and is<br />
planning on attending Del Tech<br />
or taking classes with Ford Motor<br />
Company near Philadelphia.<br />
Juarez, a junior, plans to<br />
attend Lincoln Tech near<br />
Philadelphia after he graduates<br />
and major in full auto training.<br />
Shue students captured on a mural what it means to them to be an American. The Art Mile<br />

NEWARK POST ·:· IN OUR SCHOOLS<br />
Authors at· an early age<br />
First graders at<br />
Keene elementary<br />
get books published<br />
By ROBIN BROOMALL<br />
NEWARK POST STAFF WRITER<br />
How do you get your first<br />
novel accepted by a publisher?<br />
Many writers have struggled<br />
with that question for years. Two<br />
classes <strong>of</strong> first graders have<br />
already been published and have<br />
their books to prove it.<br />
Classes <strong>of</strong> Keri Neuman and<br />
Heather G<strong>of</strong>f at Keene<br />
Elementary School wrote and<br />
illustrated "If You Give a<br />
Kangaroo Cupcake" and "Our<br />
Snowy Day Adventures."<br />
Each student wrote one page<br />
<strong>of</strong> the story and did their own<br />
illustrations.<br />
When the pages were completed,<br />
the manuscript was sent to<br />
Nationwide Learning Resources<br />
for publishing.<br />
A grant from MBNA supported<br />
the project and allowed each<br />
student to have a personal copy<br />
<strong>of</strong> his class book.<br />
A Publishing Party was held in<br />
the school's cafeteria for the students<br />
to unveil their books.<br />
Each child also received a customized<br />
tee-shirt with the cover<br />
illustration from their book.<br />
Families were on hand to hear<br />
the books read in public for the<br />
first time.<br />
The project fits into the state<br />
academic standards for reading<br />
and language arts for first grade<br />
by helping the student relate to a<br />
theme or topic and use their creative<br />
thinking to extend the story.<br />

NEWARK POST ·:· COMMENTARY<br />
Quiet philanthropy, lifetime <strong>of</strong> service her legacy to <strong>Newark</strong><br />
.... UP FRONT, from 1<br />
someone does not comment on<br />
-what a sweet lady she is.<br />
During my eight years on the<br />
board <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Newark</strong> Senior<br />
Center, I became aware <strong>of</strong> her<br />
significant and repeated contributions<br />
to the center's two building<br />
funds.<br />
As honcho <strong>of</strong> the DNP, I know<br />
that whenever there is a need for<br />
a donation to a worthy downtown<br />
cause, a check from Mrs. Bing<br />
quietly appears (and it's not<br />
always a small one). And until<br />
health issues slowed her down,<br />
she has been a key board member.<br />
I also appreciate the warm<br />
welcome that she <strong>of</strong>fered me and<br />
my family. While others held me<br />
at arms length when the new<br />
newspaper publisher pushed to<br />
become involved in civic affairs,<br />
Mrs. Bing warmly made me feel<br />
at home.<br />
But there's an effort by Mrs.<br />
Bing that few know about. It's a<br />
gift <strong>of</strong> herself that I will forever<br />
cherish.<br />
T HE<br />
•••<br />
year was 1998. There<br />
was controversy at City<br />
Hall. A first-term councilmember<br />
and her politically<br />
active co-hort were stirring a<br />
political pot that divided the formerly<br />
cooperative council and<br />
had many city employees -<br />
including some top ones - polishing<br />
up their resumes. There also<br />
were politically motivated ethics<br />
charges brought against a veteran<br />
councilmember by his political<br />
opponent.<br />
As this newspaper did before,<br />
during and after the most recent<br />
election, back then we held<br />
steady in our efforts to provide<br />
aggressive, but fair and balanced<br />
coverage <strong>of</strong> these unusual<br />
goings-on. Then and again during<br />
the recent mayoral election, we<br />
heard criticism from both sides,<br />
which usually indicates we are<br />
doing our job.<br />
A political unknown challenged<br />
a veteran councilmember,<br />
then initiated ethics charges that<br />
clearly were political. The plot<br />
thickened when the challenger<br />
told police he was attacked outside<br />
his home and was told he<br />
was being beaten out <strong>of</strong> political<br />
revenge. An unbelievable series<br />
<strong>of</strong> events had become more<br />
astonishing.<br />
Here at the <strong>Newark</strong> <strong>Post</strong>, we<br />
simply plugged along, doing our<br />
job as lines were drawn and sides<br />
taken.<br />
There were far more supporters<br />
<strong>of</strong> our efforts to provide balanced<br />
coverage, something the<br />
daily newspaper seemed to avoid,<br />
but there was a tiny minority <strong>of</strong><br />
critics, all <strong>of</strong> whom were aligned<br />
with the dissident trio <strong>of</strong> the<br />
councilmember, the activist and<br />
the challenger.<br />
I was on vacation in Maine<br />
when I received a franctic call<br />
from co-workers at the <strong>of</strong>fice. A<br />
number <strong>of</strong> people were circulating<br />
a letter to downtown <strong>Newark</strong><br />
businesspeople urging an adver-<br />
1999: Reservoir on agenda<br />
.... PAGES, from 6<br />
Stanton.<br />
But Monday's action by the<br />
board dispelled any notion that<br />
the medical center is ready to<br />
throw in the towel on Omega.<br />
• June 11, 1999<br />
Rental permit<br />
moratorium goes quietly<br />
Almost lost in the intense<br />
efforts to pass a new ordinance to<br />
restrict student rentals was the<br />
moratorium on new rental permits<br />
imposed in February.<br />
City council passed a 60-day<br />
moratorium on issuing rental permits<br />
on Feb. 1 after 49 new permits<br />
were issued in January, six<br />
times as many as in an average<br />
month. The moratorium subsequently<br />
was approved for a second<br />
60-day period while discussions<br />
about rental ordinances<br />
continued in council.<br />
Councilmembers expressed<br />
concern that the city would be<br />
deluged with requests when the<br />
second moratorium expired last<br />
weekend.<br />
According to <strong>Newark</strong>'s<br />
Building Director Junie Mayle,<br />
while there were people seeking<br />
permits at the Building<br />
Department on Tuesday<br />
(Monday was a holiday), there<br />
was not an overwhelming number.<br />
Agenda includes reservoir<br />
<strong>Newark</strong> City Council will<br />
hold · a public hearing at<br />
Monday's regular council meeting<br />
to discuss possible condemnation<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Koelig property on<br />
Old Paper Mill Road.<br />
City <strong>of</strong>ficials have been negotiating<br />
with' the owners <strong>of</strong> the site<br />
to purchase the 112 acres <strong>of</strong> land<br />
for a possible water storage facility.<br />
At the same time, developers<br />
Zecola Builders Inc/Linden Hill<br />
Corporation were seeking<br />
approval from New Castle<br />
County to build 229 homes on<br />
the property.<br />
An appraisal obtained by the<br />
city during the negotiations indicated·<br />
an estimated value <strong>of</strong><br />
$7,235,000 for the site. In April,<br />
the city agreed to a purchase<br />
price <strong>of</strong> $7,950,000 demanded in<br />
writing by the developers for the<br />
land.<br />
iiI shouldn't have<br />
been surprised,<br />
though. It's what she's<br />
done all her life. "<br />
tising boycott <strong>of</strong> our newspaper.<br />
This critical minority was going<br />
after our lifeblood.<br />
In my book, it's one thing to<br />
voice opposition on subjective<br />
political activities or to criticize<br />
approaches to news coverage, but<br />
it's entirely anotlier to go after<br />
people's jobs. Like all small community<br />
newspapers, the <strong>Newark</strong><br />
<strong>Post</strong> operates on a thin margin<br />
and we can spare no lost advertising.<br />
A successful boycott could<br />
have been devastating.<br />
Mrs. Bing was one <strong>of</strong> the merchants<br />
who received the boycott<br />
letter. She never called or talked<br />
to me.<br />
But before I had arrived back<br />
from Maine, the 70-plus-year-old<br />
businesswoman had gone up and<br />
down Main Street or called other<br />
business operators. She encouraged<br />
them to support, not boycott<br />
our paper. Mrs. Bing did so not<br />
by taking sides in the political<br />
issues but by pointing out the<br />
unfairness <strong>of</strong> the approach. Even<br />
though our critics were frequent<br />
customers <strong>of</strong> her bakery, she<br />
asked other business operators<br />
not to be taken in by the sensational,<br />
vindictive efforts <strong>of</strong> the<br />
letter signers.<br />
Fast forward. The week after<br />
the boycott letter went out, the<br />
<strong>Newark</strong> <strong>Post</strong> tallied more in<br />
advertising sales than it had in<br />
months. The challenger disappeared<br />
from the <strong>Newark</strong> scene<br />
shortly after money disappeared<br />
from a neighborhood association's<br />
bank account. The dissident<br />
councilmember was tossed<br />
out <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice by a level-headed,<br />
now multi-term representative.<br />
City Hall, <strong>Newark</strong> and the newspaper<br />
weathered the political<br />
storm.<br />
There are many reasons to<br />
honor Mrs. Bing. And I share<br />
with others the same feelings<br />
about her generosity, kindness<br />
and service.<br />
But I will be forever grateful<br />
<strong>of</strong> her quiet, behind-the-scenes<br />
work to correct what she saw as a<br />
wrong.<br />
I shouldn't have been surprised,<br />
though. It's what she's<br />
done all her life.<br />

.... CHANCE, from 6<br />
medical benefits our<br />
Congressman have provided for<br />
themselves far exceed the benefits<br />
available to ordinary citizens.<br />
But who is naive enough to<br />
believe that Congress will ever<br />
vote to reduce the perks its members<br />
receive?<br />
Many people would like to see<br />
the United Nations operate more<br />
effectively. Yet the recent Iraq oil<br />
for food scandal suggests that<br />
international <strong>of</strong>ficials are as like-<br />
ly to mismanage or misappropriate<br />
funds as local and national<br />
politicians. Others argue that a<br />
nation with a huge and growing<br />
deficit should give its first priority<br />
to the needs <strong>of</strong> its own citizens.<br />
Finally, it's apparent that<br />
TREA <strong>of</strong>ficials are singing the<br />
same tune they did three years<br />
ago. Respected Congressman,<br />
they claim, are prepared to press<br />
for passage <strong>of</strong> Notch Victims'<br />
bills presently before the House<br />
and Senate. But a staff member in<br />
the <strong>of</strong>fice <strong>of</strong> one <strong>Delaware</strong><br />
Congressman advised me that<br />
HORSES • PONIES • MULES • DONKEYS • BURROS<br />
EQUINE OWNERS<br />
Reminder<br />
these bills have little chance <strong>of</strong><br />
success. There are too few survivors<br />
from the 1917-26 era to<br />
constitute a meaningful voting<br />
block and far more urgent<br />
demands are pressing upon the<br />
Congress.<br />
One fact is clear. The proponents<br />
<strong>of</strong> these diverse projects,<br />
however desirable, are united in<br />
one respect. They want us to pay<br />
for them. Given their controversial<br />
nature, it may be wise to<br />
think twice before we reach for<br />
our checkbooks.<br />
