Mr. Dapp, a resident of Dover County for 20 years, and fellow candidates Judy McIlvaine, Roger Gorman, Lawrence Gurreri and Phil Herman will assume the elected positions in the November election since they will be running unopposed. All five candidates are affiliated Dover C.A.R.E.S (Dover Citizens Actively Reviewing Educational/Economic Strategies), the winner of the 2006 York Chamber of Commerce Community Service Award. Dover C.A.R.E.S, a citizens action group whose mission is to assist in building and maintaining a sound education for children and quality of life for all residents in the Dover community has been instrumental in the overwhelming success in the last general election for members of the Dover board. The previous election, which gained national and international attention for the controversy created by the Kitzmiller, et al vs. Dover Area School Board, was tried in the U.S. Middle District Court in 2005. The case, which dealt with the introduction of intelligent design in public school classrooms, has further defined the separation of church and state under the U.S. Constitution. "These were trying times for our community," Dapp said. "But reason won out in the end, Judge Jones' decision was historic, and we are moving forward with continued educational improvement for all of our students."
