MILLSBORO, De. - Neighbors said they saw it all happen from their porches. Workers recently came to the Commons at Raddish Farms, collected goose eggs, and then destroyed them. This was all part of a legal effort to control the goose population, although it's creating some debate in Sussex County.
Geese are an invasive species, and can be destructive to their environment. For that reason the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issues permits for people to destroy goose eggs. At the development in Millsboro, the retention pond where they all gather is a common area, and for that reason the local homeowners association oversaw the removal and destruction of these eggs. President Steve McIlvine said the action was necessary for two fundamental reasons. "We have anywhere from 30 and 50 geese sometimes in the summer time," he said. "A few people like them but overall it's a problem. Just with the feces and the health hazards involved with them. Plus they keep the mallards away. The more geese you have, the less mallards you have." It's the latter argument that has created the most concern from The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control. An official from DNREC told WBOC that the invasive species can be damaging to other wildlife. They said the population is starting to proliferate in Sussex County.
Some neighbors like Wanda Santarelli are less on board with the actions.
"They're life," she said of the eggs. "And I just don't want them to kill them because I enjoy them every year." DNREC has issued regulations on the destruction of these eggs. Those workers permitted to destroy the eggs need to drop the eggs in a bucket of water in order to see if air has entered the shell or not. If the eggs sink to the bottom, they would have permission to destroy the egg. Meanwhile, if it floated, that would signify that air was entering the shell. In that situation, they would have to leave the egg alone. This testing process is meant to make the elimination process more humane.
McIlviine said the problem was necessary to keep the community clean and safe.
"An adult goose poops every 6 to 8 minutes," he said. "They poop throughout the whole day long. And when you have kids or pets on the walking paths in the community, there are certain health concerns too." This practice goes far beyond just in Millsboro. WBOC reached out to DNREC, which said this is a national problem, but has always been an issue in Delaware.

Goose Eggs Destroyed in Millsboro
SINGAPORE: Luxury property developer KOP is perhaps best known for its Hamilton Scotts condominium, where a unit sold for as much as S$24 million.
It was also responsible for developing the Montigo resorts in Bali and Batam.
But the firm is changing its strategy to focus on building mixed-use entertainment centres.
Amid sluggish demand in the high-end property market, KOP said it is now seeing better prospects in a sector it calls "entertainment real estate".
Ong Chih Ching, group CEO of KOP Limited, said: "We think that the world is slightly anti-elitist right now. So as a company, we need to focus and look at what is next. And when we studied the market, we realised that we should go for consumer-type real estate.
I think that entertainment real estate is not something that a lot of the traditional developers have actually looked at, and that's why we think this is a good opportunity for us to enter."
KOP said it may derive ticketing or food and beverage sales from these entertainment venues.
In addition, given the rising popularity of online shopping, KOP said there is a need to give consumers a greater reason to leave their homes - be it for a concert, or for other forms of entertainment.
Ms Ong added: "There is a lot of online retail (these days), so that also will be a challenge, in terms of footfall and traffic to the malls."
Speaking to reporters ahead of its listing on the Catalist board of the Singapore Exchange on Monday, KOP said its first project in the area of "entertainment real estate" will come in the form of an indoor winter resort in Shanghai, China.

The centuries-old Parish of Nuestra Seora de los Remedios, also known as Malate Church, is in need of restoration.
A study conducted on the church by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) in 2009 revealed that its exterior walls and facade are in urgent need of restoration.
As a declared National Historical Monument, the Malate Catholic Church had to get NHCPs approval for all restoration or construction work.
According to a CBCP News Post, it was the said study that prompted the parish to come up with a five-year restoration program called 5-5-5 March of the Thousands.
The campaign aims to raise five million pesos (P5,000,000) each year to immediately address this problem.
Based on the NHCP investigation, the church structure is showing alarming signs like surface material losses through pulverization and disintegration; surface scaling that destroys newer plasters; biological and woody growths; rising dump and water seepage; and detached adobe components or falling debris.
The study also noted that the churchs adobe material (blocks of soft volcanic rock) has high moisture content, which means that it cannot withstand extreme and prolonged weather conditions.
It explains that Malate Churchs location facing Manila Bay exposes it even more to these elements.
The cement plaster used extensively for repairing the damage before the studys findings did more harm than good because the moisture trapped underneath the walls detached the plaster, it added.
NHCP is clear on the incompatibility of cement plaster and adobe walls.

SAUGUS , Mass., May 12 (UPI) --A rolling stone stopped inches short of crashing into a Massachusetts church, in what some people might call a minor miracle.
A construction explosion in Saugus caused a large boulder to come loose and almost roll into Grace Ministries Church.
"If it rolled another 12 inches, it would have gone right through the building," Pastor Rick LeClair told WCVB. "This boulder was probably 20 tons."
LeClair saw the boulder coming, but he kept faith that the church would be saved.
"We were standing across the street saying, 'Uh-oh. There it goes,'" LeClair said. "I was thinking the church was going to get wrecked, but I had this peace about me where it really wasn't going to get wrecked. And it didn't. The Lord just kinda said, 'That's enough.'"
Grace Ministries has a food pantry that feeds thousands, which would likely have been shut down if the boulder had hit the church.
