DELMARVA E2 THE NEWS JOURNAL FRIDAY, MAY 15, 1992 ilford all-everything scholar-athlete is Annapolis bound Brian Clark had inspiring examples cian at Intervet America Inc. of Millsboro. And whenever the family gets together, the brothers play basketball and run sprints any competition that can produce a winner. Valuing his friends and family has taken on more significance in Clark's life recently. With his acceptance to the Naval Academy, he's come to realize he's going to leave Milford soon and might not be back.

But he believes he always will keep the special friends he has now. "We'll always have those ties," he said about the bonds with his Milford friends. He's already promised one of his two free weekends from the academy to go to the prom at Milford High with his girlfriend, Rachel Barrett, a 15-year-old sophomore. The other weekend will be spent at the state wrestling championships, he says. The first year at the academy will be hard, he said, but He thinks the discipline will do him good, and looks forward to further accomplishments.

"I do stuff for the reward at the end," Clark said. reason I do everything is because of my brothers," he said. They introduced him to the different activities and were there to support him but never pressured him to join. His brothers and parents come to every one of his games and matches. "Sometimes, at away matches, we have more people in the stands than the home team," he said.

The boys gather whenever possible with their parents, Joanne supervisor of radiology at Milford Memorial Hospital and Charles "Bob" Clark, a techni knee injury suffered while wrestling. To cap off his achievements, he has accepted an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy, turning down an appointment to West Point. He's tall, has short sandy blond hair, blue-gray eyes and a pleasant disposition. "He's, a great all-around guy," said school principal Robert Res-cigno.

"He's just great." Clark says his competitiveness is total. "I don't care if I'm playing tid-dlywinks with my girlfriend, I want to beat her," he said. He credits his high grades to not having to diet to make weight last wrestling season, giving him energy to study. The spirit of competition runs in his family. Clark remembers going to wrestling matches to watch his brothers, both champions, when he was 4 and considered the pet of all the cheerleaders.

Clark began wrestling at age 4, weighing into the bantam class at 40 pounds. He says it was his brothers who got him involved in sports. "The Dear fn ff Y'Z this By KIM HOEY Special to The News Journal MILFORD Brian J. Clark entered high school four years ago with the goal of beating all of his brothers' academic records. Having recently been named an all-academic athlete with the highest grade point average of all athletes in the state his 4.24average was better than straight A's he's almost hit that goal.

He earned the ultra-high average by taking advanced and college-level courses and getting A's. But he's still comparing himself with his brothers, Billy, 28, of Dover who works for NationsBank, and Bobby, 32, of Smyrna, a harness horse trainer. "My brother Bobby was named the senior class athlete, but that hasn't been chosen yet for my class," he said from his parents' home in Milford, where he is surrounded by trophies, awards and memorabilia from the past year. His bedroom has two trophy cases one for normal trophies and one for important trophies, he said. Clark, 17, a senior at Milford High School, can best be described as an ail-American boy.

He is the state wrestling champion in the 160-pound class. He played on the varsity soccer and football teams at the same time, receiving state and conference awards for soccer. He was named an all-conference catcher in baseball last year, plays the trumpet in the band, has a steady girlfriend, teaches a Sunday school class, and is the first alternate to the varsity golf team, even though he just started playing the sport last year and is recovering from a Activist wants more for Sussex By BRUCE PRINGLE Sussex Bureau reporter LEWES Sussex Countians jnay not be getting all they deserve from a 1982 compromise on control of several thousand acres William Penn set aside for residents' use, according to an expert on the subject.

The county gets none of that revenue. Stenger, whose legal fight, for "Maybe it's having one foot in the grave at 65 I'm an old man. I fought this for 15 years. I don't have 1 5 more years." JOHN R.

Penn decreed in 1682 that "Cape Inlopen" be set aside for or all of the inhabitants of said county." Penn turned the land over to Edmond Warner, who was allowed to live on it. Delaware acquired it in the 18th century.

Lewes for more than a century has administered land many people believe was part of Penn's grant. The compromise, approved in Court of Chancery, finally established firm boundaries of the grant lands, which Penn had defined vaguely. The court said the lands include the park and Beach Plum Island, but not the city-leased land on Lewes Beach occupied by hundreds of homes and a number of businesses. The city and the state were satisfied, but, Stenger said, the county whose residents Penn intended to benefit received nothing special from the deal. Stenger said he would have sought council's help sooner, but he "wore out" by the time the compromise was reached.

"Maybe it's having one foot in the grave at 65" that inspired his return to the subject, he said. "I'm an old man. I fought this for 15 years. I don't have 15 more years." County attorney Eugene H. Bayard promised to research Sten-ger's requests and report to council promptly.
