Dedicated to:
Tammy Starr BrittinghamFormer Editor and Publisher of The Delaware News, Corporate Presi-dent of Independent Newspapers Inc. Co-owner of Beseme Restaurant in Lewes, De, Co-founder of Shooting Starr Gourmet Cupcakes and
the Starrlight Fund to benefit women with Ovarian Cancer.
November invites us to sit down for a moment and pass the potatoes before tumbling into the holidays. I have become increasingly thankful that a turkey requires hours to cook, drawing several generations into the kitchen chopping celery and strategizing the gravy. Thank heavens that college age children and young families are obliged to turn homeward however briefly for hugs and face to face conversations. The anticipation of that end of month meal is an anchor holding us fast to the most satisfing serving of close friends and family. Tides of growing pains, challenges, joyful events and the daily trudge onward creates a sweet cement that cradles a deepening compassion for those that travel beside us. Friends become family. Family becomes friends. I am thankful for impromptu visits by neighbors on Sunday afternoons. I am thank-ful for a lively car-ride conversation with family, to see the world from their side of the seat. I treasure every gathering, chance meeting and tip of the hat. It is strangely nourishing to connect. As you get a taste of another’s journey, you understand that you are not alone in the difficult things you may face, that people are as strong and resilient as they are fragile. After the Thanksgiving Table has been heaped with delicious offerings, before the forks fly, I am thankful for the warm chain of hand upon hand, squeezed gently, a little burst of love traveling round the circle and returning to rest in each of our hearts, like a small bird, snug in a nest that is built of those we hold dear. looking forward to Momsy’s pies...

& f r i e n d sAs frost decorates morning landscapes, and night comes earlier each day, friends and family turn homeward for
comfort and shelter. During our days we might buy a book, visit the library, pick up take-out, eat in, shop for a home-cooked meal, have a massage
or a haircut, select a bottle of wine and that perfect gift,
make a financial appointment, go to the bank, go to a dentist
or doctor, have the car ser-viced, pick up the dry cleaning and a floral arrangement, fill
the car with gas, get hardware for a project, stock up on
greeting cards, purchase a flag, select fabric - all without leav-ing town. Call in the cat - walk
the dog one last time - and enjoy a November evening at
home in Snow Hill.

Welcome to our new section focused
on little communities, inspired by September’s
Roller Derby article. All over Delmarva, like
minded folks get together over something they are
passionate about. From art to music, sports, politics or history, these groups
lift their members out of their normal lives for a few hours and immerse them in kindred comraderie as they
explore their niche together.

Ge t r e a d y f o r a r e a l l y c o l o r f u l y a r n . . .Engaged conversation, in a rambling string of consciousness, as needles clack and soft wooly things grow longer, in a cozy room packed full of comfy chairs filled with people old and young, from all backgrounds brought together by a common thread....YARN! join one
knitting circles
More riveting than live TV,improving physical reaction bet-ter than video games or the Wii, bring your knitting needles and yarn, and you may leave with a new skill, hobby and a surprising circle of friends and supporters, who listen to one another, chat and create the kind of warmth something made by hand with a cup of love offers.What is the best part of participating? “Sharing projects and information; learning something new, comraderie & support, meeting neighbors, learning from others.

what happened to handmade American Craft...A r e p o r t f r o m t h e f r o n t :
OK. Here is my background. In the late 1980s I created an installation of handmade ceramic fish for the lobby of the Baltimore Aquarium. People kept trying to buy the individual ceramic fish, leading me to think,”Hey! maybe I should make more fish and sell them!” Over the next 15 years that notion broadened to include hundreds of my ceramic designs made by myself and a crew of 10 talented artisans. We shipped our work to over 300 galleries, fine department stores and unique independent shops internationally. Our work was included in major collections, museums, articles and even the movie “Titanic”. But we, like our fellow fine craft studios, were to be the canary in the coal mine to the flood of goods that began washing into the US post NAFTA. continued next page...

handmade designs

Our designs were copied and the small independent stores that paid a fair price for handmade work were undercut by often inferior, but similar work appearing by container-loads emptied into new big-box stores popping up every 20 miles across the country. Consumers gobbled up the cheap goods, that spread into every area of merchandise, and as smaller stores closed, once vibrant retail in our downtowns shriveled, replaced by office space and empty storefronts. As our market was undermined, we let wonder-ful long-time employees go one by one until just my husband and myself remain, keeping our doors open by employing our creative wits 24/7.
Take this story and multiply it by hundreds.Many of the finest large stu-dios are completely gone, and American Craft has become a true cottage industry, available primar-ily through the artist, small area craft shows or the few small shops left to feature such treasures. But there is hope.... continued next page

eat your greens! As a kid weaned on “tang” and “hamburger helper”, I must admit the thought of putting a slimey pile of boiled greens in my mouth caused me to gag. I am still frightened of lima beans. This year I emptied a package of swiss chard seed into what I pictured as my future abundant garden, and it persevered even as other plants wilted or subcomed to evil weeds. Swiss Chard is probably the most under appreciated of all vegetables. It is vitamin rich and nutritious, and extremely easy to grow. A prolific grower, Swiss Chard tolerates poor soil, inattention, even with-standing frost and mild freezes. Swiss chard is tasty and you can eat both the stalk and leaves. The leaves can be used as a fresh salad or cooked like spinach. The stalks are cut up and cooked in a variety of dishes as you might use celery.Harvest the leaves from here and there, thinning the clumps so what’s left grows better. You can harvest the leaves regard-less of size. Pick the outer leaves and the new inner leaves will soon grow in their place. If the leaves turned a little too bit-ter for you in mid-summer, make sure to come back to them as the weather cools. Use a sharp knife to cut the stems, near the base.

Swiss chard is one of the mostpowerful anti-cancer foods
due to its combination of traditional nutrients; phytochemicals, chlorophyll, other plantpigments, and soluble fiber. The generous
amount of vitamin K that is contained in Swiss chard, is especially beneficial in the maintenance of bone health. Chard is an excellent source of vitamins C, E, and K, carotenes, chlorophyll,
and fiber. It is also an excellent source ofseveral minerals including potassium, magne-
sium, iron, and manganese. Swiss chard is alsoa good source of many other nutrients including
vitamin B6, protein, calcium, thiamine,selenium, zinc, niacin, and folic acid.

lectures with the monks of Drepung Loseling Monastery
10 “The Symbolism of the Sand” 7pm. Holloway Hall, Great Hall, SU Campus. The mandala is a sacred cosmogram used as an object of contemplation. It depicts the pure nature of the world in which we live as well as how we can live most effectively. By creating a sand mandala the monks bring the creative energy of that sacred dimension into their lives and attune themselves to this natural perfection.
11 “Meditation: A Tool for Conscious Living” 7pm. Holloway Hall, Great Hall, Some meditative techniques aim at strengthening inner qualities that are important life forces; others aim at eliminating inner negativities and habitual patterns.
14 Special Event – “Sacred Music, Sacred Dance” 7pm. Holloway Hall Auditorium. In Tibet, whenever a monastery celebrated a spiritual festival, people would assemble in the monastery’s courtyard for three or four days of sacred music and dance. The Drepung Loseling monks are particularly renowned for their multiphonic chanting, known as zokkay (complete chord). Each of the main chantmasters simultaneously intones three notes, thus each individually creating a complete chord. The performance comprises nine pieces believed to generate energies conducive to world healing and lasts approximately two hours. Admission: The event is free, but tickets are required.
From all the artistic traditions of Tantric Buddhism, that of painting with colored sand ranks as one of the most unique and exquisite. In Tibet this art is called dul-tson-kyil-khor, which literally means “mandala of colored powders.”
MANDALA Sand PAINTING

Formed of a traditional prescribed iconography that includes geometric shapes and a multitude of ancient spiritual symbols, the sand-painted mandala is used as a tool for re-consecrating the earth and its inhabit-ants. Throughout its creation, the monks pour millions of grains of sand from traditional metal funnels called chakpur. The finished mandala is approximately five feet by five feet in size and takes three to five days of work. Traditionally most sand mandalas are destroyed shortly after their completion. This is done as a metaphor of the impermanence of life. The sands are swept up and placed in an urn; to fulfill the function of healing, half is distributed to the audience at the closing ceremony, while the remainder is carried to a nearby body of water, where it is deposited. The waters then carry the healing blessing to the ocean, and from there it spreads throughout the world for planetary healing.
On previous tours the monks have shared the stage with Philip Glass, Kitaro, Paul Simon, Sheryl Crow, Michael Stipe, Patti Smith, Natalie Merchant, the Beastie Boys, and many others. As well as performing in such prestigious venues as Carnegie Hall, the Herbst Theater and the Ravinia Festival, they have appeared in hundreds of university auditoriums, civic halls, festivals and churches across the country. The monks are endorsed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama as a means of promoting world peace and healing through sacred performing arts.

One in 55 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer.There is not as much awareness like there is with breast cancer because women become so sick so fast they cannot act as ad-vocates. The mortality rate for ovarian cancer has not improved over the past 40 years.
The mission of the Starrlight Fund is to provide immediate financial assistance to women in Kent and Sussex counties, Del., who are battling ovarian cancer and are having difficulty making ends meet. Starrlight has made donations to the special needs funds of area hospitals – Beebe Medical Center, Nanticoke Memorial Hospital, BayHealth Medical Center and the Helen F. Graham Center of Christiana Medical Center in Newark, De. – and to Delaware Hospice, with instructions that the funds are to be used to assist ovarian cancer survivors in downstate Delaware. To date, we have distributed grants totaling $11,000 to these institutions. The Starrlight Fund is a 501c3 non-profit entity administrated by
The Delaware Community Foundation and all donations to the Fund are tax-deductible.
“I’ll never forget sitting in chemotherapy and hearing a nurse explain to one woman from downstate that her insur-ance wouldn’t cover some of the medicine she needed to fight the side effects of treatment. Another woman was facing eviction because she was un-able to work during treatment and had fallen behind on her rent. I decided if I made it out of that chemo chair for a while, we’d do something to help these brave souls. ” - Tammy BrittinghamThe Starrlight Fund was born.
above& beyond
After being given the devastating news that Tammy Brittingham had ovarian cancer, she and her family looked outward to help others facing the same challenge. In September we said goodbye as many friends and family celebrated her life, achievments and wonderful sense of living. Besides the fond memory of a woman that tackled life headon- Tammy, with husband Mike Pelrine and son Eban Brittingham have left hope for others in the Starrlight fund for women with Ovarian Cancer.I asked Mike to fill us in-

what prompted you three to begin it...The idea for Starrlight began in the chemo room of Christiana Hospital in the spring of 2007. While there, Tammy and I overheard numerous conversations between chemo patients and the nursing staff. We also had direct conversations with sister survivors who were going through very rough times financially. While specifics varied from woman to woman, the theme was consistent: insufficient, or in some cases no insurance, to cover some basic medical costs, such as pre-medication prior to chemotherapy; lost time at work resulting in job loss; choosing between paying the rent or utilities or even continuing treatment; and issues of transporta-tion to and from treatment. Currently, there are no gynecologic oncologists working in Kent or Sussex counties, requiring women to travel to New Castle County or out of state for treatment by a specialist. We thought we could help. So we contacted friends at the Delaware Community Foundation about the process of creating a fund to help these women, and within a couple of months it was done. We chose the date of our first fundraiser to be Sept, 25,, 2008, because 1) it was my 50th birthday, and 2) September is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. It was a huge success. We followed it up the next year, 2009, with Music For A Cause, at which many of the musicians that have performed at Beseme donated their time and talent. That was a success as well. We were planning a third annual Music For A Cause this year, but we had to cancel those plans because Tammy became increasingly sick and ultimately passed away on Aug. 3. However, we have begun planning for two fundraising events next year. One in the spring, on or around Tammy’s birthday in March, and the other in September. So stay tuned.
Eban Brittingham explains, the fund, named in honor of Tammy whose middle name is Starr, was created to fulfill his mother’s promise to provide support to sister survivors
from downstate Delaware in their times of need.
“These are women who can take care of themselves in normal times, but the challenge of cancer puts
them in a precarious circumstance.”

What advice might you offer to folks in other counties on Delmarva that might wish to begin a like organization. 1) Know what you want to achieve. 2) Figure out how you want to raise money 3) Find a competent umbrella organization to administer the funds (i.e. one that will invest it wisely, and not take too much of the principal to cover its own costs) 4) Recruit volunteers to help out. 5) Prepare to put a lot of time and TLC into the effort.Any thing you would like to add... One of the biggest pieces of advice that I think I can offer is to women: Learn as much as you can about ovarian cancer. Its symptoms are very common and often can be mistakenly diagnosed as flu-like, or pre-menopausal, and too often the diagnosis of ovarian cancer is reached in its later stages. Ask your gynecologist to perform a CA 125 blood test. And have it done once each year. It is not 100% accurate as a diagnostic tool, but it establishes a baseline that can be tracked over time. If your gynecologist refuses to order the CA 125 or tries to talk you out of it FIND ANOTHER DOCTOR!!!How is ovarian cancer found? See a doctor if you have symptoms: Early cancers of the ovaries tend to cause somewhat vague symptoms. These symptoms might include: * swelling of the stomach (abdomen) or bloating caused by a build-up of fluid or a tumor * pelvic pressure or stomach pain * trouble eating or feeling full quickly * having to urinate often or feeling like you have to go right away Most of these symptoms can also be caused by problems other than cancer.
