On July 25th, the Chamber hosted a barbeque and open house for
prospective members to learn moreabout the value of membership and net-work with the Ambassador Committeeand the Chamber staff. It turned out tobe a great success as the 100 people inattendance enjoyed great food, music anda nice break from the heat wave.
The barbeque marked the end of a spe-cial second quarter membership drive thattargeted companies located in nearby busi-ness parks. While the final results of themembership drive have not been calculated,it is expected that over 30 new mem-bers will join the Chamber.
All the barbeque guests were treatedto a great spread of summer food.Thanks to the following members:
• Wellwood Inn for some greatfried chicken
• Bernie's water ice - the mangowas delicous
• Out of the Ordinary catering providedcorn on the cob, pasta salad and baked beans
• Buffalo Wild Wingsbrought some of their famous wings (they went fast)
• Red Robin had afantastic hamburger barand some thirst quenchingstawberry lemonade
The only thing thatcould top all the greatfood was the sweetsounds of some live

Much has been made in the pressof the lack of legislative accom-
plishments coming out of Washington,D.C. these past several years. We areall so familiar with Congress’ approvalrating – which is currently hoveringaround 12 percent. There has been ahue and cry from the Democratic Partyestablishment and the president’s sup-porters that Republicans in Congress are toblame for the lack of progresson important issues on CapitolHill – a theme that has beentaken up by any number ofcolumnists and commentatorsin the press.
The fact of the matter is –while there has been little
accomplished in the way of major leg-islation, and substantial difficulty onthe part of the Obama Administrationin getting appointees in confirmed –the Republicans in Congress are servingtheir Constitutional role as the Framersintended. The Democrats are playingtheirs; and a decade ago – give or take– the Democrats and the Republicanswere in opposite places vis-à-vis therole of “obstructionists” who wereblocking the important work of thepresident (then Bush 43).
During mid-July, the United StatesSenate engaged in the now all too fa-miliar debate over the Senate filibuster.Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid(D-Nevada) was threatening the hy-perbolically named “nuclear option.”This would involve a vote on changesto the Senate rules which would havethe body function as a purely majori-tarian body rather than the current re-quirement of 60 votes needed to enddebate on a measure (cloture) in theSenate. Senator Reid was trying tomove a number of nominations through

the Senate and solve what he and other Democrats in the Senate and the administration see as an inordinately difficult environment for them to enacttheir agenda.
Commentators, legislators and ac-tivists on the right decried this as re-pugnant to the Framers’ design and anoutrageous threat on the part of LeaderReid. While there is merit to the argu-ment that the filibuster should remain inplace and that the Senate should continueto function as it traditionally has- manyon the right conveniently forget thatwhen former Senate Majority LeaderBill Frist (R-Tennessee) was still in theSenate and serving as leader, he threat-ened the same in response to Democratic filibustering of a number of Bush Administration nominees.
Former Senate ParliamentarianRobert Dove pointed out in a recentopinion piece in the Wall Street Journal(“Beware the Filibuster ‘Nuclear Option’”the cloture rule was adopted in its currentform during World War I, as a means ofending a filibuster and required 60 votesto end debate on a measure. Until that
time, filibusters could go on continuouslywith no means of ending debate (then,actual speaking on the floor was required).In his column, Mr. Dove compellinglyargues that the filibuster – and the cloturerule (Rule 22) are vital to the Senate’srole as the “Cooling Saucer”. The coolingsaucer reference relates to an apocryphalstory wherein George Washington saidto Thomas Jefferson as Mr. Jefferson waspouring his coffee into a saucer to coolit “That is the role of the Senate, it isthere to cool the hot legislation comingfrom the House of Representatives.
The “Nuclear Option” finds its originsin then Vice President Richard Nixon’sassertion that the president of the Senate
was entitled to rule on the question ofwhether a given measure requires amajority vote. To employ it, the ma-jority would have the vice presidentdecide the question vis-à-vis the Senaterules and simply amend them accord-ingly. Scholars such as Mr. Dove makea good argument that such an outcomewould be bad for the Senate, bad forthe process and bad for the nation.
The House was designed to be arules-bound majoritarian party withtwo-year terms that reflected the will
of the peoplewho electedthem. The Sen-ate was to be aslower movingd e l i b e r a t i v ebody with six-year terms whichwould carefullyconsider and de-bate the issuesof the day withsubstantial inputfrom the minor-ity party, vet thework of the
House, approve presidential nomina-tions - both judicial and executive –and approve treaties. With this inmind, and considering the gravity ofthe challenges that confront our nation,and which have since its inception,anything that would move the Senatetoward being another House of Rep-resentatives would likely diminish theSenate’s efficacy in carrying out thatimportant function.
In an eleventh hour deal in mid-July this outcome was avoided. How-ever, the issue is sure to arise again infuture Congresses no matter whichparty controls the Senate.

“Lancaster Avenue was the major roadout of Wilmington back then. It movedpeople from Wilmington to the outskirts,all the way up to Gap, Pennsylvania,” saysPaul White III. “This land was our familyfarm and in 1895 my great-great grandfatherdecided it would make a perfect cemetery.”And so Silverbrook Cemetery was opened.Paul’s great-great grandfather was Abraham Lincoln White. “He was bornthe day Lincoln was shot,” says Paul. Withall of the traffic moving by each day andwith the growth of Wilmington and its
environs, Abraham White realizedthe area needed a cemetery. Fivegenerations later, Paul WhiteIII is the owner of Silverbrook.The White family has main-tained Silverbrook for over 118 years.
“We are just one of a handfulof privately-owned, for-profit ceme-
teries in Delaware,” says Paul. He estimates the state has about 1,200 grave-yards. Because of the private ownership,Silverbrook is strictly a cemetery. “Weare not a funeral home by law, but we dohope that for consumer protection issuesthat law will be changed,” says Paul.
Silverbrook also offers cremationservices and was the first, and for manyyears, the only crematorium in Delaware.“For about 75 years, cremation was onlyrequested about 3% of the time; now thatnumber is about 35%,” according to Paul.Silverbrook was offering cremation longbefore Dover Air Force established theDAFB Mortuary. “We handled the cremation of three of the Challenger astronauts in 1985 because the Air ForceBase did not have the capability.”
Silverbrook is also the final resting placefor some famous Delawareans. WilliamLloyd Nelson was buried in 1943.
Sgt. Nelson was killed in actionin North Africa and was awardedthe Congressional Medal of Hon-or. “We were the first integratedcemetery in Delaware,” says Paul.“Judy Johnson and Lewis Red-
ding are buriedhere.” Silver-brook providedcremation serv-ices to the fam-ily of the lateCab Calloway.
The age ofthe cemetery of-fers someunique issues.“Our earliest
section has graves that were not vaulted soas the years pass gravity causes an indenta-tion and it makes mowing difficult. (Vaultedgraves came about following World WarII). The older headstones are constantlyshifting requiring weekly upkeep. “Theold stones were not placed on proper foot-ings so they move over time,” says Paul.The 80 acres of Silverbrook keeps fourfull-time staffers busy. “It takes two weeks
to cut all of the grass,” says Paul. “Whenwe get done we start all over.”
The buildings at Silverbrook are alloriginal 1895 structures built by AbrahamWhite. “There is a lot of history here, it is astep back in time in some places,” saysPaul. In other places, new funeral practicescan be seen. “We have new mausoleumsfor caskets and for ashes, and we have aMemorial Park section where all of thememorials are flat bronze markers.”
Paul estimates that Silverbrook is athalf capacity. “We have over 50,000 gravesand can accommodate well over that forfuture interments.” Paul also sees moretrees coming to Silverbrook. “We loseabout two trees each year due to age orweather damage. Over the years I havebeen replacing old trees with different va-rieties.” Paul will be planting a series offruit trees soon. “Fruit trees provide beautifulcolor and they bear life. I think our visitorswill welcome that. This is a place of peaceand remembrance. Our visitors appreciatethe trees, the life that is still around them.”

This issue of Business Matterstakes a look at Elsmere. The
small town has a solid business his-tory with some of Delaware’s in-delible names: Serpe’s Bakery, Mam-mele’s Paint, Krienen-Griffith Fu-neral Home, and Angerstein’s Build-ing Supply. Kirkwood Highwaybisects the town known also for itsarbor-friendly street names: Linden,Locust, Beech, Oak, Maple andmore. And while some of the streets areactually in Roselle and Brack-Ex most folksjust see Elsmere. The big Veterans Admin-
istration Hospital has been a stalwartin the area for years and followinga massive renovation continuesto serve our regional veterans.Built in 1950, it was the ninthVA Hospital in the country builtfollowing World War II.
Elsmere was not always smallbusinesses and neighborhoods. For
many years the town was rural farmland.In fact, Elsmere was the location of theDelaware State Fair. In 1917 the first fairwas held in Elsmere and the event tookplace annually to 1928. Later, the fairmoved to Harrington. In 1943 the fairgroundswere developed into housing. The lastvestige of the fair is Fairgrounds Park justoff Ohio Avenue.
Elsmere was incorporated in 1909 with ahandful of farm families, today over 100years later the town is just over one squaremile in area with roughly 6,000 residents.
