Decide to Make Progress

"It's easy to make a buck. It's a lot tougher to make a difference." -Tom Brokaw

Make progress today

You can make a whole lot of progress today. So let yourself do it.

You can be free of your doubts, your worries, and the limiting assumptions that have held you back. Decide to make progress, and act on your decision.

You can handle the challenges and find a way to address each problem. See yourself doing it, and then do what you see.

You can discard the excuses and put an end to your hesitation. Remind yourself of the great value in what you can do, and get busy doing it.

Instead of slipping backwards, instead of just getting by, you can make progress today. Do yourself and everyone else a great big favor, and do what you know you can do.

The time, the energy and the resources are here now for you to use. Choose to use them now, and make some great new progress today.

— Ralph Marston

An 11-month bridge repair project has concluded with newly constructed pier replacements to ensure a sound structure. The foundations of two pairs of piers were replaced with two additional piers receiving new support columns and footings. General Contractor J.D. Eckman orchestrated the nearly year-long project, along with Delaware DOT, to replace and repair the leaning piers that were first discovered by a passerby and later determined unsafe by DelDOT engineers.

Some Excellent Book Club Suggestions for 2015

By Tanisha Williams

The New Year is definitely a time for turning over a new leaf, but it's also a great time for book lovers to find new page-turners for their book clubs. In an age where information and ideas fly around the world in the blink of an eye, it may be difficult to determine which titles would be the best for a book club, especially in light of the thousands of potential choices there are for any given genre. Below is a list of suggested reads for 2015 that will serve as great catalysts for engaging book club discussions.

1. The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd - Early nineteenth century life is particularly stifling for Hetty "Handful" Grimke, a slave working for the wealthy Grimke family in Charleston. The novel gets set in motion when 11-year-old Sarah, the Grimke's oldest daughter, encounters 10-year-old Handful for the first time. The story then follows Sarah and Handful on a thirty-five year journey that marks how their lives intertwine and influence each other throughout the years.
2. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green - Now a major motion picture, The Fault in Our Stars explores the brilliant, thrilling and yet heartbreaking story of Hazel, a young woman who has been diagnosed with a terminal disease. Her life takes an unexpected and amazing turn when she encounters the unique Augustus Waters at one of her Cancer Kids Support Groups.
3. Dominion by C.J. Sansom - This harrowing tale falls under the category of "speculative history", in that it depicts a world in which Great Britain has fallen under ruthless Nazi rule. David Fitzgerald, a spy working for Churchill's Resistance but posing as a civil servant, has been given the task of infiltrating a mental hospital and rescuing the brilliant but eccentric scientist Frank Muncaster, who just may hold the key to a discovery that could alter the balance of global power forever.
4. Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline - Fans of Christina Baker Kline will more than likely regard this novel as her most ambitious work yet. Orphan Train explores an unexpected and unlikely relationship between Vivian Daly, a 91-year-old recluse who lives a quiet life on the coast of Maine, and Molly Ayer, a troubled 17-year-old who is about to be "aged out" of the foster care system. As part of a bid to help her stay out of juvenile hall, Molly takes on the assignment of helping Vivian clean out her home. In the midst of uncovering trunks of old papers, photos and memories, Molly discovers that Vivian was also an orphan, and that their lives are strikingly similar.
