Duckery Dad's crab cakes Pinetown: Helping a community at risk This is Cherry Barranco's winning recipe in Coast Day's Crab Cake Cook-Off.

2 pounds crab meat 2 eggs 1 teaspoon lemon juice cup mayonnaise Va cup mustard 1 small onion, finely chopped 1 green pepper, finely chopped 1 cup crushed saltine FROM PAGE 1 "Pinetown lies within a wealthy "area of Sussex County, which skews the statistics," said Mary Wilcoxon, Sussex County Extension educator. She said the UD extension office is conducting a of Pinetown's demographics needs. "We chose Pinetown for this grant because it was not covered by any other social service group," she said. Pinetown came to the attention Wilcoxon after extension agent Diaz Bonneville discovered that the community of mostly single-parent families had little supervi- sion for its children during the summer months and after school. After Bundick, Bonneville, Wilcoxon and other agricultural agents visited Pinetown, Bundick, with the blessing of the extension office, applied for a Strengthening Communities for Children and Families at Risk grant.

In the church hall, Hirron Long quietly takes care of his studies and helps corral the younger kids when he's needed. "Hirron's my helper I don't know what I'd do without him," said Bundick. At 15, Long is the oldest member of the group and often a target of negative peer pressure in Pinetown. But he rises above it, attributing his strength to the steady care of his grandmother, Shirley Perry, and her husband, Theodore W. Perry, a Pinetown farmer who was active in the church and community before he died in 1995.

"Everyone in the community loved Ted," Bundick said. "He was always helping someone." Long left a tribute to Perry in his summer work binder, in which he said, among other things: "The reason Ted is important to me is because when I was small he took brings them to the fellowship hall and takes them home after 6 p.m. She hopes to work out a partnership with the Cape Henlopen School District for bus service. Topics for discussion at the fellowship hall center on cultural issues, family and community. "We work on conflict resolution and the negative influences facing the kids, such as drug and alcohol abuse, illegal activities, school dropouts and adolescent pregnancies," Bundick said.

Many of the young people feel they're on the cultural periphery of their schools, she said. "I try to address this problem and let them know that public school programs are available for all children." Her next goal is to visit each child's teacher and attend PTA meetings. "I just hope I don't burn out trying to be too much to these kids," Bundick said. care of me; he showed me that no other person would. He went out of his way to make sure that I was raised right." Pinetown has no community center, so the church offered space in its Fellowship Hall to run the program, said Bundick, pointing out the 12- by 15-foot room with attached kitchen.

Her desk, two student computers and a tiny bookcase are squeezed into one corner. Turquoise cloths cover long tables with benches where the children do homework and crafts. "Right now, our problem is transportation," Bundick said. "These kids attend five different schools," she said. The youngsters in the project attend Milton elementary and middle schools, Lewes elementary and middle schools and Cape Hen-lopen High School.

Bundick picks them up at Pinetown after school, Crab: Top finisher got her recipe from Dad Delmarva Briefs Public Libraries their faces painted, and compete in the sack races, pumpkin rolling, the corncob toss and searching for pennies in the straw.

Only 77 of 267 applicants for the grants received awards.

Although it was the 21st Coast Day, the Crab Cake Cook-Off is in only its eighth year. It originated as a savory sideline to the popular annual marine science event. "One of the early ideas was to do a seafood cooking contest. I decided a crab cake contest was easier We supply all the crabmeat and electricity and the finalists bring in their own fry pans," said Hicks. "For a lot of the finalists, this is the first time they've ever done anything like this and they have a good time," she added.

Some finalists wear fancy aprons, decorate their tables and bring family and friends to cheer them on. Once the judges have been served, everyone can sample the crab cakes. For the 10th year of the competition, organizers hope to assemble a cookbook of the 200 or so recipes submitted, Hicks said. Meanwhile, Barranco, whose husband, Joseph, is a fourth-grade teacher at Hazel O. Brittingham Elementary School in Milton, has plans for her prize money.

"I'm going out to dinner so I won't have to cook one night," she said. "And I'm going to buy some books for my classroom."

They also received plaques.

"Everything went like clockwork," said cook-off organizer Doris Hicks, a seafood technology specialist with the University of Delaware Sea Grant College Program. Eight finalists, each cooking two pounds of crabmeat, fired up their frying pans at 11 a.m. and prepared their entries for judging at noon. "There were lots of onlookers and a lot of contestants didn't realize how much interaction there would be, but things went well and everybody had a good time," Hicks said. As first-place winner, Barranco has the opportunity to be a judge at next year's cook-off.

Other finalists were Steven Bell of Lewes, Enrico D'Ambro of Newark, Steve Kiibler of Lewes, Peter Marconi Jr. of Millsboro, and Ellen White of Wilmington. Last month, a six-judge panel winnowed this year's 13 entries to eight finalists. "Every year's different, Hicks said of the number of entries. "Last year we had 25 entries with a lot from Pennsylvania.

This year, there were a lot of Delaware entries."
