Farlow said he's looking at property adjacent to the Seaford Police Department on Virginia Avenue.

However, he said Seaford officials would like to obtain the land for use as an industrial park. The University of Delaware holds the property in trust. Also, WDPB plans to build a translator station near Dover, making Channel 64's signal available to Kent County residents as well, Far-low said. Depending on government approval, the Dover station could begin operating within 14 months and would be received on Channel 32 there, he said. "The great thing about all this expansion is we're working from the southern part of the state to the north.

It's usually the other way around," Farlow noted. Farlow said that Federal Communications Commission officials determined Seaford was the only area in the state that could house a television station without interfering with other TV signals broadcast from neighboring states. The move to Kent County, he said, will literally "fill up" any remaining gaps in the Kent-Sussex transmission area. "We have passed some landmarks in the past year. humble as we may be.

We're able to respond to a growing state and a population that is seeking its own identity," Farlow said.

But the good day quickly turned sour as Leanne P. Cordrey, the station's administrative assistant, paged through the classified section of a local weekly newspaper. "I was shocked.

I was looking for one thing and stumbled across this item by accident," Cordrey said. Tucked among several other legal notices was one announcing that the property and buildings occupied by WDPB were to be sold at public auction Dec. 30. "We didn't know anything about it. Nobody bothered to tell us anything," said J.

Christopher Farlow, the station's general manager. The news followed WDPB's first anniversary of live programming from the Seaford studios. WDPB leases its facilities from owners of the neighboring Seaford Inn restaurant. "We've got a real serious problem going here," Farlow said. "But we can't do anything until we find out where we'll stand with the new owners." The Sussex County Sheriff's Office was ordered to execute the sale after mortgage holder S.

"She had contacted me just to discuss the needs within the child services environment that were not being addressed by the government. I guess I've always been an admirer of Mrs. du Pont and her efforts." Riley noted, also, that he had worked with Armstrong in the child protective services unit. I just know him to be a very competent and dedicated person trying to improve services to children." Xerox's other projects include setting up a library for the Camelot Home for Boys, 5109 Gov.

Campbell took the elevator for its first test ride in August but construction was not complete until last week. Now Campbell can enter the small elevator installed in the hallway, pull the door closed behind his wheelchair, close the metal gate and ride to his old bedroom on the second floor.

and Beverly E. Kingsland and J. William and Ester Gregory, all of Seaford. "For all I know, the new owners whoever that may be could come in here the day after the sale and tell us we have 30 days to move out," Farlow said. "What we're hoping to do is put together a consortium of people to help us build or find another location.

Whatever happens, we're definitely not going out of business," he added. But the station might have to temporarily disband its local programming until it can find another studio location, Farlow said. WDPB moved into the complex in May 1981. It then operated as a translator station for WHYY-TV, Channel 12, in Philadelphia and Wilmington, which operates in conjunction with the Public Broadcasting System. At that time, Farlow said, the Seaford facility merely rebroadcast programs carried on Channel 12.

Eight months later, Farlow said, the Federal Communications Commission granted WDPB its own license and it soon began airing its own programs. "That was unheard of in the business to go from a translator station to a full-service station in such a short while. It usually takes years," Farlow said. company officials said. According to Harrison, the project money comes from a com-munity involvement fund at Xerox's corporate headquarters in Connecticut.

The fund, she explained, is to help groups in need that "wouldn't get the money any other way. They would literally go without." But company policy is not just to give a check, she added. The money comes with elbow grease. The Xerox volunteers will clean, paint and build recreational equipment for the room, perhaps including a pingpong table, Harrison said. Xerox also plans to buy a washing machine and other household equipment for the shelter, Harrison said.

The Children's Project of the Family Violence Program of CHILD Inc. has no money to fix the chair access, a work table installed in the hallway, and a lowered shelf and lowered racks added to the bedroom closet. He no longer needs anyone to help him make the long climb up the 15 carpeted stairs that lead from a living room decorated with photographs of the Campbell children and grandchildren. Between the photographs are medals and tro-. Ehies won by Keith and his brother eonard in football, track and swimming.

Football was Leonard's sport, but swimming was Keith's favorite. He planned to use his all-around sports knowledge someday to direct physical-education programs. It was a plan that was drastically altered in his senior year when WDPB broadcasts on Channel 64. However, Sussex cable networks carry the programming on Channel 12 except in Seaford, Laurel and Blades, where WDPB is picked up on Channel 6. "We'll still be able to broadcast Channel 12 programming even though we might be forced to move," Farlow said.

WDPB now features several popular PBS programs, including "Nova" and "Sesame Street," as well as its own local segment, "Southern Delaware Today," which highlights events in Kent and Sussex counties. "I'd like to point out that we're not here to do any in-depth investigating or Farlow said. "That's up to the commercial stations. We're here to educate people about what Delaware has to offer. We give them an alternative to commercial TV," Farlow said.

Programs so far have included reports about the Delaware Fire School, Nanticoke Indian Powwow, an adult education program recently begun at Stockley Center, an institution for the mentally retarded, and last summer's visit of the Tall Ships through the Delaware Bay. By March, WDPB plans to build an additional tower and increase its signal from 1,000 to 5,000 watts, Farlow said. The station also plans to build a new office and studio, but Farlow basement itself, Armstrong said. "Currently we are under seed money from the National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect," he explained. That federal center, started in 1975 through the Department of Health and Human Services, is the "primary funding source for new programs" for abuse victims, he added.

The center also funded the CHILD Inc. family resource training program in 1978, Armstrong said. When the federal money ran out, the state Department of Health and Social Services decided to maintain the program, he said. The children's program is geared to victims of violence. "Each child coming into the shelter has to have been, to some extent, a victim of violence or witness to violence," Armstrong explained.

A project aim, he added, is to "assess the impact that that's had Campbell was carried off the playing field with three neck fractures. "I had to grow up a lot," said Campbell. "In the beginning, I used to wonder why things happened the way they did. Now I read the Bible and some things make more sense, but I'll never, never really understand why this happened to me." In the first few months following his injury, Campbell had no mobility in his arms or upper torso. Through extensive physical therapy, he has achieved flexibility in his arms, but still has very little use of his legs.

That did not keep Campbell from taking a drive in his car when he returned from the hospital.

The center is "to provide a daily activity program for the children who are not in school; or in the summertime, it includes all the children." Activities are planned to "increase the child's self-concept." Because the children have been "uprooted," the center aims for structure and consistency, he said. "We try to demonstrate to the child nonviolent ways of solving problems and conflicts," he added. The Xerox project will give mothers and children a chance to get away from each other for a while, and will "be nice for the children to feel free to make noise." The current set-up, he said, "is working, but it's also makeshift." through the neighborhood, waving to surprised friends. It was the same desire to do everything he could that helped Campbell graduate with his class from P.S. du Pont High School in 1977 and earn a degree in data processing from Delaware Technical and Community College in 1981.

Both diplomas are displayed on the shelf above the new desk upstairs that Campbell can pull up to in his wheelchair. Someday, he said, he would like to operate a small home computer system from that desk to computerize business operations for small companies. For now, though, Campbell said he is content to have the full run of his house for the first time in six years.
