“Science at Your Door” is part of Governor’s “Children in Nature” initiative

LAUREL – DNREC’s new state-of-the-art mobile science laboratory, “Science at Your Door,” was unveiled today at North Laurel Elementary School in a ribbon cutting ceremony led by Governor Jack Markell, DNREC Secretary David Small and Secretary of Education Steven Godowsky. They were joined by Laurel School District Superintendent Shawn Larrimore, EPA Region 3 Administrator Shawn M. Garvin, North Laurel Elementary School Principal David Hudson, local officials, teachers and scores of 3rd graders, eager to explore the lab’s interactive science programs that feature watershed and ecosystem education.

The mobile science laboratory is part of Gov. Markell’s Children in Nature initiative that’s increasing opportunities for youth to take part in outdoor and environmental science activities both in school and out of school.

“Young people throughout Delaware have benefited from opportunities to experience nature and science – up close and personal through the Children in Nature initiative,” said Gov. Jack Markell. “I am delighted to announce this mobile science laboratory that supports the goals of the initiative: to connect kids with nature, provide meaningful outdoor experiences and increase environmental literacy, all while nurturing an environmental ethic in our youth that can last a lifetime.”

“Science at Your Door” provides learning opportunities where students can experience first-hand, through observation and exploration, important scientific relationships and how personal decisions impact the health of the environment. The laboratory improves environmental literacy and increases student diversity and access to science and nature experiences – two goals shared by the Delaware Children in Nature initiative and the Chesapeake Bay Agreement, the document signed by Gov. Markell and five other governors in 2014 that sets goals that protect and restore the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.

“DNREC’s mobile science laboratory is an exciting way to teach environmental science to elementary, middle and high school students,” said DNREC Secretary Small. “The programs engage students through observing and interacting with the natural world – by providing authentic student experiences related to the everyday challenges we face in our environment, like finding solutions to improving water quality and reducing stormwater pollution. We appreciate the partnerships and funding with the Department of Education and EPA.”

The curriculum was developed by DNREC and the Delaware Department of Education to meet the Next Generation Science Standards and supports the Delaware Environmental Literacy Plan. The laboratory also supports STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Education in Delaware by familiarizing students with environmental professionals and subjects that will help prepare them for college and potential careers in STEM fields.

“This trailer allows Delaware educators and students an opportunity to embrace the goals of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS),” said Education Secretary Godowsky. “By encouraging a hands-on and analytical approach to science, NGSS is promoting the type of deep learning in students that extends well beyond the classroom, leading to significant learning gains and positive changes for our students.”

The mobile science laboratory will travel to schools in Delaware’s Chesapeake Bay Watershed, including Laurel, Woodbridge, Seaford, and Delmar School Districts and other individual schools located in the watershed. More than 2,000 students in kindergarten through high school and their science teachers will be enrolled in the “Science at Your Door” program during the 2016 -17 school year. Future plans are to expand the program to serve other schools located in the Delaware Bay, Piedmont and Inland Bays Watersheds.

“EPA is pleased to provide $225,000 in funding to Delaware for these kinds of programs – both inside and outside the classroom,” said EPA Regional Administrator Garvin. “On Halloween – it is scary to think that we would not give our students every opportunity to appreciate science, nature, and the outdoors – because we need them to become our next generation of engineers, researchers and scientists.”

“As our world evolves, environmental problems evolve as well, unfortunately,” said Laurel School District Superintendent Larrimore. “DNREC’s mobile science laboratory enables Delaware students with opportunities to increase their environmental literacy, opportunities to increase their hands-on interaction with our natural world, and, in turn, opportunities to increase their environmental problem-solving abilities.”

“Science at Your Door” programs include:

• The Power of Water – Students discover how mass and velocity affects the energy of moving water. Erosion and water pollution are used to illustrate the concepts.
• Watershed and Nonpoint Source Model “EnviroScape” – This interactive demonstration reveals the sources and effects of water pollution and allows students to find ways to prevent
  pollution. Students learn how stormwater runoff caries pollutants through the watershed and the best management practices to prevent runoff pollution.
• Waters of the Chesapeake – Students follow an imaginary water drop from Trap Pond to the Chesapeake Bay. The program includes exercises in outlining watersheds and a brief introduction to water quality testing, including pH, nitrate, phosphate, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity to show the important of water management and pollution control.

In his remarks, Gov. Markell spoke about the thousands of public school children who have benefited from the Children in Nature initiative and highlighted some of its significant accomplishments over the past 2 ½ years. These included programs such as DNREC’s Youth Conservation Corps that’s providing environmental opportunities and summer jobs for teenagers, and Healthy Kids Days, a partnership among DNREC’s Division of Parks & Recreation, Nemours Health and Prevention Services, and the Department of Health and Social Services to encourage kids to make healthy lifestyle choices. Other notable successes are the creation of schoolyard habitats at Seaford and Caesar Rodney School Districts that serve as outdoor classrooms, 23 vegetable gardens at schools, providing education and healthy food, and numerous environmental-based programs and field trips to nature areas and parks.

The laboratory is collaboration among DNREC’s Divisions of Parks & Recreation and Watershed Stewardship and the Department of Education to provide scholarship-funded science education to students in Delaware’s Chesapeake Bay Watershed. Funding for the mobile science laboratory, supplies, and student/teacher scholarships was provided by DNREC’s Division of Watershed Stewardship through EPA’s Chesapeake Bay Program.

NEWS FROM THE DELAWARE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES

Open Enrollment Starts Tuesday
for Delaware’s Health Insurance Marketplace
Delawareans who seek coverage through HealthCare.gov are urged
to take advantage of subsidies to offset rise in premium costs

NEW CASTLE (Oct. 31, 2016) – The fourth open enrollment period for Delaware’s Health Insurance Marketplace starts Tuesday as the state prepares to build on the progress of the last three years, in which more than 28,000 Delawareans signed up for coverage and the state’s uninsured rate dropped an estimated 35 percent.

The open enrollment period, in which people can renew current coverage or sign up for a new plan for 2017, runs from Nov. 1 through Jan. 31, 2017, at www.HealthCare.gov. Individuals must sign up by Dec. 15 for their coverage to be effective Jan. 1.

The state will formally mark the Health Insurance Marketplace’s fourth enrollment period with a press conference at 1 p.m. Nov. 10 at Westside Family Healthcare’s Bear office, 404 Fox Hunt Drive in the Fox Run Shopping Center off U.S. 40.

In the face of increased cost of premiums, Delaware is making an extra effort this enrollment season to make sure residents who do not have employer-sponsored health insurance or who are not eligible for public programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program are aware of the federal subsidies available when they buy private plans through the Health Insurance Marketplace, also known as Obamacare.

“Many people still don’t realize they can get financial help paying for their Marketplace coverage,” said Rita Landgraf, secretary of the state Department of Health and Social Services. “This year, more than 80 percent of Delawareans who have a Marketplace plan are receiving tax credits to lessen the costs of their premiums. I urge anyone who needs high-quality, affordable health insurance to go to HealthCare.gov to shop for a plan, and I encourage those who are already enrolled to go back to the website, update their information and pick a plan that meets their health needs and budget.”

Consumers can go to HealthCare.gov now to check out their options for 2017. Individuals who need help enrolling in coverage will again have access to free in-person assistance from federally funded and trained specialists at several Delaware organizations, including Westside Family Healthcare, Chatman LLC, Henrietta Johnson Medical Center and La Red Health Center.

State-licensed insurance agents and brokers are also available to help individuals re-enroll and to help employers update their coverage, at no extra charge.

For more information, go to http://www.choosehealthde.com/. You can enroll in marketplace coverage at www.HealthCare.gov or by calling 1 (800) 318-2596 (TTY: 1 855 889-4325).

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services:

• Sixty-three percent of Delawareans who now have Marketplace coverage could get 2017 coverage for a monthly premium of $100 or less after tax credits, 55 percent could get coverage for $75 or less, and 45 percent could get coverage for $50 or less.

• Sixty-three percent of current Marketplace enrollees whose annual household incomes are between 100 percent and 250 percent of the federal poverty limit (from $11,880 to $29,700 for one person and from $24,300 to $60,750 for a family of four) are receiving financial assistance. Financial help is available for individuals with annual incomes up to $47,520; for a family of four the income limit is $97,200.

• The median annual income of Marketplace enrollees in Delaware is about $25,000 for one person and $51,400 for a family of four.

As in previous years, three insurers will offer Marketplace medical plans in Delaware for 2017: Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield of Delaware, Aetna Health, and Aetna Life Insurance Company. Across the insurers, they will offer a total of 21 plans for individuals and 11 SHOP plans for small businesses. Two insurers – Delta Dental and Dominion Dental – will offer a collective 15 stand-alone dental plans, 10 for individuals and five for small businesses.

Rates in 2017 will increase an average of 32.5 percent for Highmark plans, 23.6 percent for Aetna Health and 22.8 percent for Aetna Life.

All plans cover essential health benefits such as coverage of pre-existing conditions, outpatient care, emergency services, hospitalization, prescription drugs, mental health and substance use disorder services, lab services, and pediatric services.

Medical plans will be available in three metal-level categories – bronze, silver and gold – based on how enrollees choose to split the costs of care with their insurance company. Bronze plans have low monthly premiums but high costs when you need care; gold plans have high premiums but lower costs when you need care.

Tax credits are especially beneficial to consumers who pick the second-lowest cost silver plan, since the credits adjust to match any changes in premium. In a silver plan, the insurer pays about 70 percent of medical costs and the consumer pays about 30 percent, up to a maximum annual out-of-pocket cap of $6,350 for an individual and $12,700 for a family.

In Delaware in 2017, the average monthly premium for a second-lowest cost silver plan for a 27-year-old non-tobacco user will be $347 before tax credits based on eligibility are applied.

Consumers who pick silver plans might also qualify for additional savings through discounts on deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance.

Penalty for going without coverage

Individuals who can afford coverage but who choose not to buy it will pay a fee equal to the higher of these amounts: 2.5% of your annual household income or $695 per person ($347.50 per child under 18). The maximum penalty will not exceed $2,085 per household or the total yearly premium for the national average price of a bronze-level plan sold through the Marketplace. In addition to the penalty, consumers will be responsible for the total cost of health expenses they incur.

Consumers can estimate their penalty using the penalty calculator available on ChooseHealthDE.com.

Delaware’s senators and congressman urged uninsured Delawareans to find out what’s available for them on the Marketplace.

“Over the last several years, I’ve had a chance to meet with Delawareans who found affordable health care and peace of mind through the Health Insurance Marketplace,” Sen. Tom Carper said. “With open enrollment about to begin, I strongly urge all uninsured individuals to go to ChooseHealthDE.com to get information about the various health insurance plans available and potential financial assistance they may qualify for to reduce their insurance costs. And because enrolling in health insurance can be overwhelming, there is free, in-person assistance available to help individuals and families. Every Delaware family deserves access to the quality health care they need, and the Marketplace is making that a reality for thousands of Delawareans for the first time.”

“Open enrollment is a great opportunity for Delaware families to shop around in the Health Insurance Marketplace and find a plan that works best for them,” Sen. Chris Coons said. “I would encourage both the uninsured and insured to visit the Marketplace and explore plans and financial assistance that may be available to them. While we have more work ahead to improve the ACA and bring down health care costs, open enrollment is an important opportunity for families to get the comprehensive health care they need, regardless of age, background, or pre-existing conditions.”

Added Congressman John Carney: “Starting Tuesday, Delawareans will have another chance to purchase quality health care coverage for themselves and their families. While we still have work to do to bring down the cost of health care, the Marketplace has made it much easier for many Delawareans to access the care they need. I encourage everyone to take advantage of open enrollment and see what their options are.”

Businesses with 50 employees or fewer can offer plans to their employees starting any month of the year through the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP). Go to HealthCare.gov or call 1 (800) 706-7893 (TTY: 711).

In addition to the Health Insurance Marketplace, some residents might be eligible for coverage though Delaware’s expanded Medicaid program, which is open year-round. More than 10,000 Delawareans have received coverage under the Medicaid expansion. To be screened for or to apply for Medicaid benefits, go to Delaware ASSIST.

Delaware’s uninsured population decreased from 83,000 in 2013 to 54,000 in 2015, according to a recent Census Bureau report. That decline includes Delawareans who could not get coverage before the Affordable Care Act because of pre-existing conditions. Increasing access to health care coverage is the first step toward a healthier Delaware, Secretary Landgraf said. “Through the Delaware Center for Health Innovation, we are striving to ensure that our health care system delivers quality care, produces better health outcomes, reduces costs and enhances the experience of health care providers. Those goals are at the heart of the Affordable Care Act.”

Delaware Health and Social Services is committed to improving the quality of the lives of Delaware’s citizens by promoting health and well-being, fostering self-sufficiency, and protecting vulnerable populations.

Drug law proposals would simplify drug laws, eliminate geographic inequities, and increase focus on treatment; Firearm proposal would ensure that all violent felons illegally carrying guns face jail time.

Attorney General Matt Denn announced today that he would be asking the newly elected General Assembly to reform the state’s drug laws, and eliminate a dangerous loophole in the state’s illegal gun possession statute.

Attorney General Denn stated that the state’s drug laws — as currently written — are overly complicated, contain provisions that expose residents of urban areas to greater penalties than those who live in rural and suburban areas, and do not focus sufficient resources on treatment of inmates and defendants with substance abuse problems.

Attorney General Denn outlined his proposals in remarks made today at the University of Delaware’s Osher Institute of Lifelong Learning. With respect to his proposals regarding reform of the state’s drug statute, he suggested that his office work with legislators, law enforcement officials, representatives of the criminal justice system, substance abuse experts, and victim advocates to create a specific reform proposal for the General Assembly to consider early in its upcoming session.

In his remarks, Attorney General Denn noted that Delaware’s existing drug laws:

• Are unnecessarily complicated and cumbersome for law enforcement officers, attorneys, and judges to apply;

• Contain sentencing enhancements that are based entirely upon where crimes are committed, which effectively expose people living in urban areas of the state to more severe criminal penalties than those living in suburban and rural areas;

• Contain other sentencing enhancements that do not appear logical, such as imposing harsher sentences for drug crimes that involve the use of a car;

• Do not focus sufficient resources on drug treatment for inmates and defendants who participate in ‘diversion’ programs to avoid incarceration

Attorney General Denn emphasized that changes to the drug statute should ensure that the intent of sentencing enhancements designed to protect children is preserved, and specifically suggested that in place of the statute’s current focus on the geographic location of offenses for purposes of sentencing, the sale of drugs by an adult to a child should result in a mandatory sentence.

“It is time for us to revise our criminal drug laws,” the Attorney General said, “to make them more simple, more fair, and more logical, and to ensure more substance abuse treatment for inmates and people who go through diversion courts.”

Attorney General Denn also renewed his call for the legislature to eliminate a loophole in the state’s illegal gun possession statute. Currently, individuals who are barred by virtue of a violent felony conviction from possessing a firearm, but defy that ban and are in possession of a gun, face a minimum mandatory jail sentence ranging from three to ten years. However, young adults who are barred from possessing guns due to a juvenile violent felony adjudication, and who defy that ban, face no mandatory jail sentence at all.

Attorney General Denn illustrated his point with a description of the case of an offender he referred to as “Ron” who was adjudicated of multiple violent felonies as a juvenile and therefore prohibited from having a gun before he was 25, but then found with one at age 21.

“If he had gotten any of those prior violent felony adjudications as an adult rather than as a juvenile and then pled guilty to this new gun charge, his sentence would have been an automatic five years in jail,” Attorney General Denn said. “But under the criminal code as it is currently written, violent felonies committed as juveniles are written out of this mandatory sentencing provision, so Ron got no new jail time at all. The judge let him out to work release after time served – the time he had spent in prison awaiting trial.”

Attorney General Denn reiterated his position that young adults with violent felony records as juveniles must be deterred from illegally carrying guns, and indicated that he would once again ask the legislature to require a minimum jail sentence for young adults who defy this gun prohibition.

(Smyrna) – Governor Jack Markell has submitted a formal request to President Barack Obama, asking for a Presidential Disaster Declaration for the State of Delaware as a result of the severe storm and flooding that impacted the state September 29^th and 30^th.

In his letter to President Obama, the governor noted the two days of exponential rainfall and tidal flooding that occurred along the Delaware Coast and lower Delaware Bay.  Portions of Delaware experienced 8.94 to 12.0 inches of rain over the two-day period.

Governor Markell’s disaster declaration notes the substantial impact to the transportation system statewide, with road closures caused by flooded roadways and downed trees.  Emergency repairs were made by the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) to prevent total structural failure, and protect citizens who live downstream from the Trussum Pond Spillway, Chipman Pond Dam, and various sites along State Route 24 in Laurel, Delaware.  The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) conducted an emergency assessment of damaged dams, parks, and public waterway access points.  Personnel from the Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA) State Emergency Operations Center (EOC) were activated to assist Sussex County as needed, while volunteer fire companies in Sussex County responded to multiple water rescues, and storm-related evacuations.  Resources from state, county, and local governments were coordinated to monitor storm-affected areas and emergency releases from spillways.

Following assessment by DEMA, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), it was determined that Delaware may qualify for Public Assistance funding through a Presidential Disaster Declaration.  Estimated costs for Public Assistance are listed in the request at $2,245,860.52.

The request specifically asks the President for Public Assistance for public infrastructure in the form of a Major Disaster Declaration for Sussex County, along with Hazard Mitigation Funding to be made available to all three counties.  Governor Markell’s request letter states that total expenditures are expected to be in excess of $2.24-million.

“The major rainfall and flooding from these storms presented major challenges to Sussex County residents, as well as first responders and other state employees who performed so admirably during and after these storms,” said Markell. “I am committed to ensuring we pursue all available support for repairing millions of dollars of damage, which will also assist our efforts to make Delaware’s infrastructure as resilient as possible during future natural disasters.”

DOVER – To achieve public compliance through education and enforcement actions that help conserve Delaware’s fish and wildlife resources and ensure safe boating and public safety, Fish & Wildlife Natural Resources Police officers between Oct.17-23 made 1,587 contacts with anglers, hunters, boaters and the general public, including 98 vessel boardings for boating safety and fishing regulation compliance checks. Officers responded to 45 complaints received from the public regarding possible violations of laws and regulations. An increased Fish & Wildlife Natural Resources Police presence continued at the C&D Canal Conservation Area and associated recreational trail.

Are you AWARE?
With fall’s first waterfowl hunting season opening today, DNREC’s Division of Fish & Wildlife Natural Resources Police remind waterfowl hunters to check their hunting gear bags, coats, boats and any other gear to make sure they are not carrying any lead shot.

“Small game hunters sometimes forget to remove boxes of lead shot from their hunting bags or accidentally leave extra lead shells in their hunting coat pockets when they go waterfowl hunting,” said Sgt. John McDerby of Fish & Wildlife Natural Resources Police. “Using lead shot for waterfowl hunting is prohibited to prevent habitat contamination and ingestion poisoning of wildlife, and hunters can be fined for possession of lead shot while waterfowl hunting, whether the shot is chambered or simply carried.”

In order to hunt, Delaware residents age 16 through 64 and non-residents age 16 or older must purchase a hunting license. A junior hunting license is required for youths age 13 through 15. Hunters age 16 and older who hunt migratory waterfowl also are required to purchase a Delaware waterfowl stamp. Delaware resident hunters 65 and older are not required to purchase a Delaware waterfowl stamp. Delaware hunting licenses and waterfowl stamps are sold online, at the licensing desk in DNREC’s Richardson & Robbins Building, 89 Kings Highway, Dover, DE 19901, and by license agents statewide. To find a participating agent, or to purchase a license online, visit Delaware Licenses. For additional information on Delaware hunting licenses, call 302-739-9918.

For hunters age 16 and older, a federal migratory bird hunting and conservation stamp, commonly called “the duck stamp,” is also required to hunt waterfowl. Federal duck stamps may be purchased at U.S Post Offices, Bombay Hook and Prime Hook national wildlife refuges and online at www.fws.gov/duckstamps; no exemptions are made for persons 65 years or older for purchasing federal stamps. For more information on federal stamps, call 800-STAMP24 (800-782-6724).

Hunters who are exempt from purchasing a license must obtain an annual, free License Exempt Number (LEN). Hunters who plan to pursue migratory game birds such as ducks, geese and doves, also must obtain a HIP number as required under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Harvest Information Program. LEN and HIP numbers can be obtained through the Division of Fish & Wildlife’s Hunter and Trapper Registration System (HTR). This free, easy-to-use system is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. To use the HTR system, please visit www.dnrec.delaware.gov/delhunt. If you prefer to talk to a live customer service representative, please call 855-DELHUNT (855-335-4868).
