Gone, too, are the days when the church placed cardboard boxes at local businesses to seek donations of food and other canned goods. Since then, turkey has been replaced with fresh chickens. None of the food is ready to eat. Needy people get a box with all the ingredients for a Thanksgiving feast.

Included are the chicken, a large can of chowder, pickles, green beans, chicken gravy, brownie mix, canned corn, cranberry sauce, potatoes, yams and boxed stuffing. The church buys all the food except the pickles, which are donated by Vlasic, and the chickens, which Mountaire provides. The which total between $35,000 and $40,000, are covered by donations both from individuals and businesses, said Roger Marino, Mountaire's chief of public relations. For Kelly Mardavich, her husband and two young daughters, the special Thanksgiving dinner will come at a time when money is especially tight. The family moved to Delaware from California in May and has been struggling to get back on its feet financially.

The couple attended Bible school in California and Mardavich said her husband would eventually like to become pastor of a church. But in the meantime, he is working for Parker Enterprises.

She is expecting a child in midDecember. "That made it a little tight right now," she said.

People in need are referred by local churches and by socialservices agencies. "There are children that don't get the proper food and this helps them and it's fun" to help pack the boxes, said Barbara Derrickson, a volunteer from Berlin, Md. "It makes me feel wonderful," said Russell Burton of Milford, a manager at Mountaire. For Joanie Adkins of Delmar, the morning preparations to feed so many offer an important lesson for her three children, all of whom are homeschooled. She wanted to make sure, as her youngsters learned about community-service projects, that they learn to give without expecting to receive in return.

"It's a hard thing to convey to children in America today," she said. The most important lesson, she said, is: "I did this so someone else could have a nice Thanksgiving." or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or in Selbyville.

The jury Friday also convicted Stephen M. Burkhart of Stevensville of reckless driving, driving a vehicle in excess of reasonable and prudent speed, and negligent driving.

The charges stemmed from the collision on Nov. 10, 2000, that killed John M. Jones of Preston. Police said Burkhart was driving faster than 93 mph in a 50-mph zone. Burkhart faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.

A sentencing date has not been set. Jones' family has filed a lawsuit against Burkhart. The trial has not yet been scheduled. Young firefighter fined for setting fire CENTREVILLE A Kent Island man arrested on an arson charge while he was a probationary firefighter has pleaded guilty to a lesser crime. Richard White, 18, of Chester, pleaded guilty Friday in Queen Anne's County District Court to malicious burning of property under $1,000.

He was originally charged with first-degree arson, malicious burning in the first degree and conspiracy to commit both crimes. The fire destroyed a vacant house on Oct. 24 in Stevensville. Judge William H. Adkins Ill ordered White to pay a $200 fine and $55 in court costs.

Adkins sentenced White to 60 days in the county jail, but all jail time was suspended. The judge said the issue of restitution will be kept open for 30 days. White was a probationary member of the Kent Island Volunteer Fire Department. Fire company members voted Nov. 5 to end his membership.

only a "50-50 chance of survival through "I believe he's a good doctor and hasn't done anything wrong over the years," said Lucille Villabona Koonce, the doctor's sister. "I would like to see him work for as long as he can." Villabona testified that his family has been torn apart by the case against him and that he wants "some sort of platform to reconnect my entire family. There isn't a lot of time to accomplish these goals, and I need all I can get." Charges against Villabona were spawned by an 18-month investigation that began when two women said in June 2001 that he had sexually abused them from 1978 to 1985 beginning when they were 8 and 10 years old. In a plea agreement, Villabona pleaded guilty to one count of third-degree sex offense, a felony, and one count of fourth-degree sex offense, a misdemeanor. Thirteen other counts were thrown out.

Villabona faced up to 11 years for in prison but, in exchange the guilty pleas, the state agreed not to push for prison time. The victims also said they didn't want him to go to prison, but Assistant State's Attorney Christopher Drummond said John Rawls, philosopher of justice, dies By JUSTIN POPE Associated Press BOSTON John Rawls, a giant of 20th century philosophy who revived the study of ethics and became an intellectual hero of liberalism, has died. He was 81. Rawls, best known for his 1971 book "A Theory of Justice," revolutionized philosophy by returning it to questions of right and wrong, rescuing it from a preoccupation with the questions of logic, epistemology and the philosophy of science that had come to dominate the field. "His work is not going to be forgotten for decades, I think for centuries," said Hilary Putnam, his colleague in Harvard University's philosophy department for 35 years.

Rawls died of heart failure at his home in Lexington. Rawls believed that the ideal society should be constructed according to a relatively straightforward principle that came to be known as the "Rawls Would the best off accept the arrangements if they believed at any moment they might find themselves in the place of the worst off? That idea and others helped revive the concept of the social compact a bond of rights and obligations linking all people. As such, Rawls' work "systematized a great deal of liberal thought about what a just constitution is and what a just society is," Putnam said. Rawls joined Harvard's philosophy department in 1962 and was given the title of "university professor," Harvard's highest teaching post, in 1979. His works included "Political Liberalism" (1993) and "Justice as Fairness: A Restatement" (2001).

they wanted him "not to be in a position to treat others until he has treated himself." Sause stopped short of ordering Villabona to stop treating children something he had of- fered to do but advised him to have "no contact with persons under 18 which can be considered compromising situations." He also ordered Villabona to undergo at his own expense an evaluation by the sexual-disorders unit at Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore or a similarly reputable institution and adhere to any treatment plan that might be recommended. Judge Sause said he decided on a more lenient sentence because of testimony that the victims accepted payments of $9,000 and $4,000 from Villabona after first raising allegations against him in 1991. Drummond described the payments as "hush money," but the judge said the women, by then in their 20s, apparently accepted it to "assuage their feelings." Relatives present when the payments were made said Villabona offered to pay for the women's schooling without acknowledging wrongdoing. Sause also noted that nobody offered evidence that Villabona HARDWOOD FLOORING OAK EXOTICS HUSKY PREFINISH ETC LUMBER LIQUIDATORS.com 203 NAAMANS RO CLAYMONT, DE (302) 798-1400 had committed any misdeeds, sexual or otherwise, during the past 17 years. Drummond, who argued against "probation before judgment" status, said the case was marked by "shifting allegiances" and ostracism of the victims.

He said Villabona never expressed remorse for his misdeeds. He described testimony at Monday's sentencing as a reprehensible case of "trashing" victims.
