Millsboro officials discussing voting districts By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter The Millsboro Town Council at future meetings will continue to discuss adjusting the size of voting districts, to keep the population of each district closer to the same. Currently, District 3 — which in-
cludes the heavily populated and growing Plantation Lakes residential community — is the largest of Millsboro’s three voting districts and creates an imbalance, Mayor Jim Kells told the Coastal Point this week. Kells said the disparity concerns him, “So what I am looking at is getting something to equalize that.”
He said he wasn’t sure if the matter will be discussed at the next meeting, at 7 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 6, because the Town is waiting to see what actions the Delaware legislature is required to take before district boundaries can be changed. “I will continue to pursue it. How we would handle that is the Town would
still be divided into three districts, but the change would be the layout of those districts. We would change the size of District 3,” he said. Councilwoman Kimberley Kaan told the Coastal Point that district boundaries were established by the town charSee DISTRICTS page 3
Layfield responds to civil lawsuit By Mike Smith Staff Reporter Bradley Layfield — principal of Sussex Central High School until he was placed on adminsitrative leave in response to a May incident at the school — this week addressed the civil lawsuit brought against him in relation to the incident by 18year-old Aniya Harmon, who graduated from the school shortly thereafter. The suit charges Layfield Layfield with intentional infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy and conspiracy to show publication of private matters. The claim for civil damages is rooted in Layfield’s alleged sharing of video of Harmon’s breast, exposed during an altercation at the high school two weeks before graduation. An assistant principal later allegedly created a meme caricaSee LAYFIELD page 2

Millville could look to make a big ‘splash’ at park By Kerin Magill Staff Reporter Millville officials got their first look this week at plans for a potential “splash park” that could be added to the existing amenities at Evans Park. The idea for the splash park came
out of a survey sent to residents in May, according to Parks & Recreation Administrator Liz Kain-Bolen. Among amenities prioritized by the 138 respondents to the survey, the most popular addition was walking trails, followed by a splash park, Kain-Bolen said. A preliminary proposal was shown to
the town council and the Parks Commission at a special meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 17, by Katja Kalinski, a designer for the engineering firm George, Miles & Buhr. “As you know, the park is a very popular place in Millville, thank goodness,” said Mayor Ronald Belinko, as he ex-
plained that the Town is in the beginning stages of its five-year revision for its Comprehensive Plan, which is the Town’s blueprint for development. A full update of the plan is done every 10 See PARK page 4

cellphone-based recordings, the plaintiff ’s breast cannot be seen and thus no harm would have occurred. Layfield and his counsel stated that reviewing the videotape was done in accordance with school policy to discuss disciplinary matters. “Dr. Bradley Layfield defended himself in Superior Court today,” said Neuberger in Wilmington on Oct. 10. “He filed his answer to the civil lawsuit filed against him, and asked that the case be dismissed with costs and legal fees assessed against the plaintiff. “He states that unless the surveillance video is stopped and viewed in a frame-to-frame analysis, which was never done for any school employee who reviewed the fight that day in the interests of school safety or school discipline regarding plaintiff ’s participation in the fight, plaintiff ’s anatomy cannot be viewed,” said Neuberger on behalf of Layfield, “and was never seen by anyone that day.”
Continued from page 1 ture of Harmon, comparing the incident to the Super Bowl “wardrobe malfunction” involving singer Janet Jackson. Thomas S. Neuberger, counsel for Layfield, in responding to the civil suit filed in Superior Court, asserted this week that Harmon “exposed herself ” by lunging at another student and having her breast exposed when a female assistant principal tried to restrain her and Harmon’s blouse was pulled away. Layfield and his attorney said Harmon brought the exposure upon herself and caused her own harms by initiating a fight, though video evidence and other testimony indicate that a physical altercation never happened. The respondents claimed that, unless witnesses to the videotape were shown a frame-by-frame and second-by-second review of the surveillance tape and other
“His answer contends that plaintiff ’s own unclean hands, in starting a dangerous two-alarm school fight, are the proximate cause of any distress she alleges.”
Attorney reports death threats made against Layf ield Asked by the Coastal Point how this civil lawsuit was brought by Harmon and her lawyer, Philadelphia’s Emeke Igwe, managing partner of the Igwe Firm and a former district attorney, with evidence of conspiracy and emotional distress, Neuberger was confident in his defense. Neuberger has contended throughout the complaint that Layfield will clear his “good name.” “As far as rehabilitating his reputation from the false accusations, in an attempt to shake down the school district for money with a meritless case, my client is getting repeated death threats which are being reported to the police.
October 20, 2023 False lies and rumors do nothing but hurt their target and incite others to violence. I hope those directing death threats are caught and punished,” said Neuberger. Layfield said in a brief exchange with the Coastal Point that he has strong support from the community and his family. “He reiterates that [the] plaintiff initiated a dangerous fight and in the course of continuing the fight directly and proximately caused her [own] anatomy to be exposed briefly, which was the cause of any alleged injuries to her. The cause of her injuries was not the viewing of the surveillance video by staff with a need to know of the fight to preserve the safety of students entrusted to the care of the school.” “And, by initiating a dangerous fight in front of a school security camera, [the] plaintiff assumed the risk that her anatomy would become exposed and be recorded by the same school security camera and subsequently viewed by school employees charged with protecting the health and safety of the many other students in the hallway who were endangered by her actions,” Neuberger wrote.

Harmon, 18, was a senior at Sussex Central High School in Georgetown at the time of the incident. She was involved in an altercation at the school May 17, in which she claims she was approached and attacked by another student. A faculty member at the high school attempted to pull Harmon away from the scene, and Harmon’s shirt was pulled down, revealing her full right breast. The incident was captured by a surveillance camera and, according to the complaint, Layfield subsequently shared the video (without editing out or blurring Harmon’s breast) with other faculty members at the school. The complaint also contends that Sussex Central High School Assistant Principal Matthew Jones worked with Layfield to create a meme using a still shot of Harmon and her exposed breast. According to the complaint, Jones superimposed the face of singer Jackson over Harmon’s face. Jones then allegedly shared this meme with other faculty members. No evidence has been shown that Layfield shared the edited image. Harmon and her family were outraged to learn of these actions taken by both the principal and assistant principal, according to her civil complaint. Both Layfield and Jones have been placed on administrative leave while an investigation has been conducted by authorties including the Delaware State Police. Harmon and her family requested that a criminal investigation be opened into the incident. See LAYFIELD page 3

Districts Continued from page 1 ter in 1977. “What Millsboro has always done is anybody can vote for candidates in any district. It is all at-large voting,” she said. In Millsboro, two council members represent each district, and one serves at-large. “You have to live in a certain district to run for council, but as a resident, you can vote for anyone. That is how the county does it and how the school district does it. “I am not opposed to redistricting and figuring out, now that the town has
by a school constable and then restrained by two school staff, a custodian and assistant principal [Aerin] Donovan, a female, who held the plaintiff,” Neuberger said. Harmon, he said, “then broke free of Donovan to jump back aggressively and dangerously into the fight. Donovan grabbed her shirt, trying to hold onto her, and it pulled down, revealing one breast, for one to two seconds, for two to three steps, before [the] plaintiff covered it up, running again to attack [ the other student] to injure her, in the crowded school hallway. “Plaintiff and [the other student] got away from the potentially explosive incident. The white female junior was
taken to DSP Det. Cannon’s office, who was the SRO.” “School staff had issued two radio calls for help during the altercation. So this was thought to be a serious fight, and school fights are a major unpublicized problem in this and other public school districts throughout the State of Delaware, and they need to be controlled and prevented from escalating into serious injuries for any students,” Neuberger said in the defense’s response. “Unless the surveillance video is stopped and viewed in a frame-to-frame analysis, which was never done for any
grown, where the new boundaries should be, but I have a problem with district-only voting,” she said. Her concern, she said, is the majority of the council can take action on any issue and “impact our lives significantly — our property tax, our utility rate, my quality of life. For most things, we need a vote of four members of council to make a decision, so it upsets me, the prospect that, in the best-case scenario, I would only ever have a say in three of them, when four of them can really impact my life,” she said. She was referring to the fact that, with district-only voting, as a resident she would only be allowed to vote in the
election of the two council members in their own district, plus the at-large candidate, for a total of three. Kells agreed and said Kaan isn’t the only council member who dislikes that idea, so the council decided not to pursue it at this time. Kaan said district boundaries have remained unchanged since they were established 46 years ago “even though the town has grown considerably since then.” “The consensus at the meeting on Oct. 7 was to explore redistricting and a method and metric for how that is handled, and addressing in-district only voting after that process is completed,” Kaan said.

Park Continued from page 1 years, and it is now starting the process of the five-year revision. The survey was part of what the Town is calling a Master Concept Plan for the park. “We’re only talking about a concept,” Belinko said. “We know it’s going to be changed when everyone starts making comments and so on,” he said. “When you take a look at the survey, it had so many different things in there, and you couldn’t start putting things together without a plan in place,” Belinko said. Kain-Bolen said after the meeting that some other popular ideas for additions to the park included a dog park, sand volleyball courts, soccer fields, pickleball courts, horseshoe pitches, and spaces for flea markets and similar events. Kalinski presented a preliminary concept plan for a splash park, which she said took its inspiration from the town seal’s rendition of the Ethel Dukes schooner. She used a park being built in

Hilton Head Island, S.C., as an example of what a splash park built around the schooner theme might look like. “You’re not going to do this in one chunk,” Belinko said of the potential park improvements. “We’re talking basically a 10-year-plan, done in sections.” Town Engineer Andrew J. Lyons Jr. asked the council and the park commission to review the proposed park plans and submit comments to Town Manager Deborah Botchie within the next month. “We thought, taking your seal, we would give you a big pirate ship in the middle of the splash park,” Kalinski said. The ship would have fountains “shooting out of it. It has fountains around it. It is really the focal point of the park,” she said. “It’s not a little thing. It’s quite sizable,” Kalinski continued. Part of the plan for the park includes possibly closing part of Dukes Drive to traffic, with parking across the road from the park, allowing safer pedestrian access between the parking area and the park, she said. That would entail a process in which the Town would have
to receive permission from the state Department of Transportation. The southern end of Dukes, if shut down to traffic, could be used for more extensive food truck offerings for larger events, Kalinski said. Part of the splash park project would include a large, elevated pond that might be used for model boat races or similar activities, she said. There would be several auxiliary buildings, such as restrooms and/or changing rooms. The town council voted last week to move forward with bocce ball courts on the western part of the park property, near where the former Dukes family home was located before it was demolished during this past summer. The addition of “tree houses” to the complex could become a play structure for children, or could become miniature libraries, Kalinski said. She added that a permanent “holiday tree” could be located at the northern end of the park, near Route 26. A butterfly garden with an adjacent pergola could become a natural spot for wildlife presentations, Kalinski said.
The four planned bocce courts, which the council voted last week to seek state grant funding for, would be shaded by “sun sails” that repeat the ship motif, Kalinski said. “These images are just to give you an idea of what things can look like,” she said. To make the park specific to Millville, the ship theme could be added to walking surfaces and other parts of the park, she said. Lyons said it is far too early to estimate the cost of such a project, because, among other things, costs of materials and the choices of those materials would be a crucial factor in the overall cost. He did say, however, that the project could easily cost between $10 million and $20 million. “This is a huge project,” Town Manager Deborah Botchie said. “This is your first presentation,” she told the council members and parks commission members present. Of the preliminary plan, Botchie said, “We had to start with something, instead of a blank
plaintiff ’s anatomy cannot be viewed.” “Around 9:45 a.m., DSP Trooper Hudson, who originally was on site for a criminal investigation, was reviewing the origins of the fight, and he was shown the footage also, to assist in his law enforcement investigation. His need
to see it is self-evident. He is law enforcement on the scene of the fight.” “Around 12:30 p.m.,” Neuberger said, “three other staff members, including an interventionist dealing with discipline and a teacher along a hallway near the fight, asked to see the fight and were shown it, for the same reason stated above, to keep them informed and [the high school] safe [from] school dangers and dangerous individuals.” “Last, around 3:45 p.m. Dr. Renee Jerns of the central office and assistant principal Donovan asked to see and were shown the footage. Jerns was onsite for a discipline proceeding and was assisted by Donovan that day.” Concluding Layfield’s response to the civil charges in the suit, Neuberger said, the charges were, “denied, except
to admit that, unless the surveillance video is stopped and viewed in a frameto-frame analysis — which was never done for any school employee who reviewed the fight that morning in the interests of school safety or school discipline regarding plaintiff ’s participation in the fight — [the] plaintiff ’s anatomy cannot be viewed, wherefore the claim should be dismissed with costs and attorney’s fees assessed against [the] plaintiff.” The Igwe Firm, which is representing Harmon in the suit, was contacted by the Coastal Point on several occasions, asking for a response to the Layfield’s answer and the statement by Neuberger. No response had been received as of Coastal Point press time this week.

DOE approves hydrogen hub for Delaware What lies beneath Coastal Point
October 20, 2023
By Mike Smith Staff Reporter
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) this week selected the MidAtlantic Clean Hydrogen Hub (MACH2) — a public-private partnership between Delaware, Southeastern Pennsylvania and Southern New Jersey — as one of seven regional clean hydrogen hubs. Funding was provided by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s $8 billion hydrogen hub program. MACH2 is touted to advance the Biden Administration’s goal of a 100 percent clean electrical grid by 2035 and net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, strengthen the nation’s energy security, and create an estimated 20,000 good-paying clean energy jobs, including union jobs. “The green light of the Mid-Atlantic Clean Hydrogen Hub is wonderful news for the future of Delaware, our nation, and our planet,” said U.S. Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.), chairman of the Senate Environment & Public Works Committee. “Clean hydrogen has a critical role in reducing emissions while creating

Although there was no public comment taken at the Oct. 17 meeting, Botchie said she wants the public to

good-paying jobs in Delaware and across our country. “As a Senate co-author of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, I’m so proud to see the Department of Energy acknowledge that our region has the first-class labor workforce, strong industrial presence, and existing infrastructure necessary to support clean hydrogen production. MACH2 will allow Delaware to cement our status as a clean energy leader and help advance our nation’s climate goals.”
Mid-Atlantic DEIJ focus Representatives of the National Wildlife Federation recently joined Carper, EPA Mid-Atlantic Administrator Adam Ortiz, University of Maryland professor Sacoby Wilson and others to formally launch an effort to help communities in the District of Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and Delaware better access federal funds to address environmental and energy injustices. The event, held at Trinity Baptist Church in the nation’s capital last weigh in on plans for the park in the future. If plans for the splash park move forward, Lyons said the project will be brought before the Town Council for approval in phases. “This is a master plan; each phase gets individual approval,” he said. Park Commission Member Pat Plocek said that, as the plans for the park progress, town officials need to be mindful of the possibility that the Town could need part of the 16 acres of park land for other uses, including a possible public safety building.

History buffs may note that Nov. 11, 1918, is a date that holds major significance in the life of the United States. On that date, an armistice was signed that ended the first World War. What some might not know is that three days before that — on Nov. 8, 1918 — one Harlon Talley was born in Pennsylvania. Talley, a resident of Selbyville, will soon celebrate his 105th birthday. Many area residents, as well as regular visitors from a few decades ago, undoubtedly know Talley from the years he and his wife, Mary, owned the Sea View Beach Shoppes — first in Fenwick Island, then in Selbyville and Ocean City, Md., as well. The building where the Fenwick Island store was located is now occupied by One Coastal restaurant. The Selbyville shop was known as the Sea View Town Shoppe. On a recent afternoon, he hosted his friends Janice and Tom Bunting, as well as this reporter, for a chat about his astoundingly long life. Talley sat in his favorite chair, at one point excusing himself to the kitchen, where he gathered a plate of cookies for his guests, balancing them deftly as he returned to his cozy living room with the use of a walker. When one visitor recalled shopping at his Fenwick Island store just shy of 50 years ago, he said, with a twinkle in his eye, “That’s where I know you from.”

Talley Continued from page 6 Talley was born in Drexel Hill, Pa., one of eight children. He moved to Sussex County in 1947, he said, on the advice of his friend Herb Jenkins. In search of “something to do” after his rounds as a milkman, he said, he learned electric work and plumbing. He met and married Mary, and they opened a store on Bunting Avenue, where the Ric-Mar hotel building stands today. After an incident where the building filled with smoke, Talley decided to build a store on Coastal Highway. “I decided that’s where we should be,” he said. “I said, ‘We’ll build a store and put an apartment in the back,’” he said. “And we just kept going from there.” They would later purchase the property where the Catch 54 restaurant is now located, which was then owned by Selbyville Manufacturing, and built a house there. At one point, the area postmaster asked Mary if she would take messages for him in the Fenwick store. “She said, ‘Yeah,” Talley recalled. “And by and by, he came back and said, ‘What you people need down there is a post office.” That led to the addition of a small post office, which operated in the rear of the store for many years. Although the Fenwick Island store
Yoga
operated as a seasonal business, Talley said an abundance of stock, thanks to an overly enthusiastic salesman, brought them to the decision to open a yearround store in Selbyville. The store was in a former real estate office connected to the old movie theater in town, he said. Later, the Selbyville store relocated to a former hardware store, Talley said. Then, the third store for the Talleys was on 64th Street in Ocean City, he said. During the years the Talleys operated the post office in the Fenwick store, he said, “We did everything. You could have your mail delivered there, and come and pick it up. We were a regular post office.” When the store closed for the season, the post office in Selbyville handled Fenwick mail, he said. “We were the very first store, from the Carousel all the way to Bethany Beach,” Talley said. “Now look at them,” he said of commercial development in the area. “They’re up to Williamsville and everywhere.” For many years, Talley said, his store was the only nearby place where visitors and locals could buy clothing and other essentials. “Toys, drugs, umbrellas, your outdoor stuff, rafts and chairs — all of that stuff. You name it, we had it — shoes, men’s, women’s and children’s clothing. The main thing was women’s clothing. Women can’t help but buy stuff,” he said with a chuckle.

grade, when I was in grammar school,” beginning with a paper route in his Drexel Hill neighborhood. “Man, I’ll tell ya — the hours I put in,” he said of his career as a shop proprietor with Mary. “But I enjoyed it.” He married Mary, he said, while he was serving in the Merchant Marines. He was sailing on tanker ships up and down the East Coast, and they decided to get married while he was ashore in Jacksonville, Fla. They met, he said, when she was visiting his friend Herb Jenkins’ wife with some other friends. “My life would be a whole lot better if Mary was still living,” he said. “She was my love.” Mary Talley passed away in 2009 at the age of 100. Their home is filled with antiques she collected throughout her life, including an extensive assortment of oyster plates adorning the dining room walls. “I liked to play golf, and she liked antiquing,” he said. Some of those treasures made their way to the store to be sold. Although he no longer plays golf, Talley said he enjoys visits with friends including the Buntings, and reading — particularly books of a spiritual nature. These days, he’s looking forward to his 105th birthday party, planned for early November. “I’ve been very lucky,” he said.

We had very, very, very good help.” “Everybody knew ’em,” interjected Talley’s friend Tom Bunting, who came to know the couple when his mother worked for them when he was a boy “and my dad played golf with him a lot.” Talley has been a member of the Ocean City Yacht Club since the early 1960s and remains the oldest member of the club. “Now, I’m a lifetime member,” he said. “I don’t have to pay any dues or nothing.” In addition to golfing, Talley said he also enjoyed working in his yard, maintaining gardens that Bunting said were “beautiful.” When Talley began reminiscing about all the remodeling work he did at the stores, Bunting said he remembered Talley taking countless trips between the stores to transfer inventory from one to the other. “He hauled clothes in a station wagon,” Bunting said. “With two poodles,” he said, “He’d go down 54 loaded down.” “He worked all his life,” Bunting continued. “Mary was the salesperson,” while Harlon Talley handled things behind the scenes. “They were businesspeople. ‘Peanut butter and jelly,’ I called them. They were a good pair,” Bunting said. Talley said he’s worked “since fourth

Assailant convicted in Cpl. Heacook’s murder Prosecutors have convicted a Delmar man for the murder of Delmar Police Department Cpl. Keith Heacook in April 2021. Randon Wilkerson, 32, will serve the rest of his life in prison following a stipulated non-jury trial in which he was convicted of 16 charges, including two counts of Murder 1st Degree and 11 other felonies. “Cpl. Keith Heacook served his department and his community honorably and faithfully for more than two decades,” said Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings on Monday, Oct. 16, in announcing the conviction. “He was stolen from us far too soon. We lost
that day a father, a husband, a brother, a son, a public servant and a protector. “In the days following his murder, and the vicious assault on two elderly victims, we committed that the defendant would be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law,” she said. “Today, thanks to the tireless work of our prosecutors and law enforcement, that promise can be fulfilled. Cpl. Heacook’s family, his brothers and sisters in Delmar PD, and the entire community of Delmar are in our hearts today.” On the morning of April 25, 2021, Heacook, a 22-year Delmar Police Department veteran, responded to a 911
call for a domestic incident. “Upon arrival to the residence, Heacook was viciously attacked by Wilkerson and was later found unconscious, having suffered multiple blows to the head,” the AG’s Office said. “He died of his injuries later that week, leaving behind his wife, four children, and a devastated community.” Wilkerson was later arrested and charged with Heacook’s murder, in addition to the severe assault of the two elderly victims that morning. Prosecutors convicted Wilkerson on Monday on two counts of Murder 1st Degree, five counts of Possession of a
Deadly Weapon During the Commission of a Felony, three counts of Possession of a Deadly Weapon by a Person Prohibited, two counts of Assault 1st Degree, Burglary 1st Degree, Assault 3rd Degree, Terroristic Threatening and Offensive Touching. Wilkerson’s conviction was secured by Deputy Attorneys General David Hume, Amanda Nyma, and John Donahue, with support from Lead Victim Service Specialist Deirdre Hudson and Paralegal Kristan Hudson, following an investigation led by Det. Mark K. Csapo of the Delaware State Police Homicide Unit.
Hydrogen
advancing hydrogen hubs nationwide is misplaced, ill-advised and will have devastating consequences for our environment, for the safety of future
generations, and is a misuse of government dollars that should be helping to advance the clean-energy revolution we need, rather hydrogen
boondoggles that perpetuate dirty fossil fuels and dangerous nuclear operations,” said Maya van Rossum, the Delaware Riverkeeper.
Continued from page 5 Davis, deputy director of the Choose Clean Water Coalition at the National Wildlife Federation. “The Choose Clean Water Coalition and our network of more than 290 nonprofit organizations in the Chesapeake Bay region is excited to partner with the National Wildlife Federation and others to provide critical resources that cultivate healthy communities and restored rivers and streams,” said Davis. “We are fully committed to alleviating barriers facing environmental justice communities.” The MACH2 project will produce, distribute, and use clean hydrogen to power hydrogen vehicles, fuel airplanes and support industries, noted officials in Carper’s office. The Delaware hub was chosen largely due to the highly trained, unionized workforce in Delaware and the surrounding area, as well as the region’s strong manufacturing, chemical and bioscience presence, and existing infrastructure capable of transporting and storing hydrogen.
Hub sees opposition from Riverkeeper The Delaware Riverkeeper Network immediately protested the allocation of federal funding for “hydrogen hubs,” which was announced in Philadelphia by President Joe Biden. “The $7 billion allocated under the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Act of 2021 throws taxpayer money at a false solution to the climate crisis by stimulating dirty energy development that will increase greenhouse gas emissions and pollution and degrade air and water quality despite claims that hydrogen is clean and an alternative to fossil fuels,” stated representatives of the Riverkeeper Network. “What’s worse for the Delaware River region is the $750 million earmarked for the Mach 2 Hydrogen Hub here in the Delaware River Watershed.” “President Biden’s commitment to

Delaware State Police arrested a 52year-old Frankford woman this week on a charge of felony theft involving a local Girl Scout troop. According to the DSP, on Jan. 31, around 3:14 p.m. the DSP Financial Crimes Unit met with local Girl Scout Troop representatives regarding an alleged theft. Kelly M. Raab of Frankford Kelly Raab was identified as the former treasurer of the troop. Following a 10-month investigation, troopers discovered that Raab had allegedly issued and cashed fraudulent checks, in addition to allegedly making unauthorized payment card transactions during her time as treasurer with the Girl Scouts, from January 2018 to November 2022. The total loss amounted to more than $12,000. On Oct. 12, Rabb turned herself in to DSP Troop 4, where she was charged with Theft over $1500 (a felony). Raab was released on her own recognizance.
South Bethany council members recruiting next member By Mike Smith Staff Reporter The Town of South Bethany is actively recruiting a new member of its town council, with letter-of-interest applications now being accepted. Residents have a 30-day window to submit their self-nomination letters to the town hall, until Monday, Nov. 13. The vacancy was created by the departure of Derek Abbott from the council. Council members will review the applications and appoint a new member, according to public notices and town officials, with the selected candidate to begin service in early 2024. Tim Saxton opened the South Bethany Town Council meeting on Friday, Oct. 13, by teasing, “We are making progress here. It used to take us three years to come full circle as a council, but now it only takes us about three meetings.” He was referencing several council matters in which the South Bethany government has come back full circle to its original thinking. Saxton also reminded the council members that it will now take four votes (of the six remaining council members) to pass motions. See COUNCIL page 12

Delaware joins $10 million settlement with ACI Worldwide Attorney General Kathy Jennings joined a multistate coalition of attorneys general this week in announcing a $10 million settlement with payment processor ACI Worldwide over a 2021 testing error that led to the attempted unauthorized withdrawal of $2.3 billion from the accounts of mortgage-holders. The case was investigated and negotiated with state financial regulators. The state regulators have entered into a separate agreement for an additional $10 million.
ACI Payments, a subsidiary of ACI Worldwide Corp., is a payment processor for a variety of third-party clients, including mortgage servicers. Nationstar Mortgage, known publicly as “Mr. Cooper,” offered ACI’s Speedpay product to its customers so they could schedule and electronically pay their monthly mortgage payments through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system. On April 23, 2021, ACI was testing the Speedpay platform when it erro-
neously submitted live Mr. Cooper consumer data into the ACH system. That resulted in ACI erroneously attempting to withdraw mortgage payments from hundreds of thousands of Mr. Cooper customers on a day that was not authorized or expected. In many cases, consumers were subjected to the attempted withdrawal of multiple mortgage payments from their personal bank accounts. The investigation determined that the April 2021 incident was possible due to
significant defects in ACI’s privacy and data security procedures and technical infrastructure . In addition to the $20 million payment to the states, the settlement requires ACI to take steps to avoid any future incidents, including requiring ACI to use artificially created data rather than real consumer data when testing systems or software, and requiring ACI to segregate any testing or development work from its consumer payment systems.
Council
meetings in January.” In other news, Envirotech Environmental Consulting has been contracted to battle invasive plants and South Bethany has selected Envirotech to specifically take down the phragmites (invasive reeds) on the bay side, and especially in the Cat Hill neighborhood. “This is not new to the town and has been done in the past. It helps in controlling the invasive stands,” said Hartman. She said expected the spraying and treatment would take two to three weeks and cost $3,700. “Phrag is an invasive species,” said Hartman about the difficulty in controlling the reeds.
of $7.8 million is an indication of the overall health of the town,” said Ashley Stern, the Town’s auditor. “The higher the number, the more services the Town is able to provide.” This year, there is a new GASB accounting standard that was implemented. “If you are a lessee or a lessor, there is now a requirement of reporting items on the deferred income for leases,” she said. “The financial position of the Town has remained stable from 2022 to 2023. We saw a $4,000 increase in revenue and a $3,000 decrease in expenses, which was really the impact of the ARPA funding the Town used, and it was spent in 2023. You don’t have to recognize [ARPA] when you receive it, but when you actually spend it.” South Bethany used the ARPA money more recently. The budget increase overall was $1.2 million this year. “Forty-one percent of the Town budget goes to public safety. The second-largest expense is Public Works. That is what you want to see, with the emphasis on public safety,” said Stern. She recommended increased training on the Town’s new accounting software, which was already scheduled for this week. “We want to draw to your attention to the implementation of these new GASB accounting rules” on the leasing and deferred rental income. “It changes any reporting on the leases which the Town may be entering into,” said Stern. “Whether you are the lessor or the lessee, it will now show up differently as income than what you have seen previously.” “I want to thank Maureen and Renee on the financial work they have done throughout the year to get us to the audit. We are also looking at how we spend the reserves or allocate that money later,” said Saxton. The most recently concluded fiscal year ended April 30, 2023. “I will now move to reallocate the use of reserves,” said the mayor. The Town’s financial team noted the correct allocations include: asset replacement, streets and public works, and maintaining reserve balances for infrastructure and multiple programs for town maintenance. Randy Bartholomew, finance chair of
the council, noted that the Town has $4,997,865 that is now in reserves. Asset replacement and maintenance also has a healthy balance of $2,192,000. There were some town hall upgrade costs that carried over from the recent construction, of about $32,000, and the Town plans to retire that debt. The council also moved to update the Town’s investment policy to add language to authorize investments in four different areas, adding brokerage accounts as a platform to facilitate investments such as CDs and bank notes protected by the FDIC. The Town now has 16 different investment vehicles. Bob Biciocchi was appointed as chair of the Charter & Code Committee in a unanimous vote, taking over that board liaison role from Abbott. Tim Shaw was selected as a voting member of the Canal Water Quality Committee. With another CWQ member joining the resiliency committee, it was deemed important to have a vote on the appointed role of a voting member, as that extends his position beyond serving as council liaison. The Resiliency Committee is adding Jeffrey Kolberg, and “He will be a tremendous asset to the committee because he is a structural engineer by trade,” said Councilwoman Edie Dondero, who nominated him. The second appointment is for Saxton to fill the second council seat on that resiliency committee. Trash bins on Ocean Drive in Sandpiper Village were also addressed at the Oct. 13 meeting, and the town manager solicited bids for the containers. The first bid was $15,744 for 16 bins for construction and delivery. The second proposal was for $40,000 for 16 bins with a similar design, but the bid provided added labor to place the bins, rather than South Bethany public works employees doing that. Chandlee Projects of Bethany Beach was the winning bid, and the council approved the $15,744 funding with minor suggestions on which direction the bins will face. Ocean rentals of beach homes in Sandpiper Village range from $2,500 per week off-season up to $9,000 per week in-season, according to Crowley Associates Realty, and trash and open collection containers have been an eyesore for the high-end beach community.
Continued from page 10 Councilwoman Chris Keefe noted that the town council meeting agenda was quite detailed, with specific guidance on parking studies and trash collection matters. “This is not just talking trash,” said Keefe. “We have a very full and comprehensive agenda.” Town Manager Maureen Hartman talked about the council seat nominating process. “Yes,” said Hartman, “We will be requesting letters of interest starting on Oct. 13. There is a 30-day period for residents to submit them. If someone is appointed at the December town council meeting, they will start in February 2024, because there are no council

Towns take look at districts as they grow Millsboro officials are discussing the possibilities of adjusting the size of their voting districts, in an attempt to keep the voting numbers of each district approximately the same. And this brings up an interesting subject. Look, if you are either pro- or anti-development, the fact remains that the unprecedented growth this community has seen over the past two decades has changed things. Some things for the good. Some things for the worse. And some things... well, they’re just different now. Larger developments can alter the demographics and population density of a town immediately. Think of how Bear Trap impacted Ocean View. Or Millville By the Sea in Millville. Or, in regards to the Millsboro conversation, Plantation Lakes in that town. A heavy concentration of people in one area, relative to the rest of the town,
has an impact. It could determine how many sitting council members are from one area, or how many voters have a common interest and can simply vote in council members who will be more inclined to vote their interests. In Millsboro, Mayor Jim Kells told the Coastal Point this week that there is indeed an imbalance in the town now, and he would like to look at redistricting — in terms of drawing maps and making each of the three districts as close as possible in terms of numbers. The council is currently configured of two members from each of the three districts, and another who is “at large.” Residents can vote for or against anybody running for a seat, regardless of the district. We’re not sure what the right solution is here, but we are encouraged by the council taking a look at it and trying to determine what’s fair for all of Millsboro’s citizens. It bears watching.
Tech does save us from ourselves sometimes Creatures of habit, unite! No? Just me? There aren’t others of you out there who sometimes want to wedge an iPad under the incessant wheels of progress in hopes of returning things back to a day when things simply made more sense? Personally, I can do without the selfcheckout contraptions at the grocery store that only serve to make me look more lost than I already am while I hear groans from the folks behind me as I struggle to find the bar code on a grape. I Darin J. McCann hate having to try to reason with a machine or pick the right number to push when I need something addressed. I positively despise how people get their jobs — and often their self-worth right along with it — replaced by silicon chips, all in the name of “progress.” It makes me long for a simpler time, when we valued people, people valued themselves, and pride and self-respect were things that were generated from within. Can you remember that time, before we focused our energies on replacing people and human experiences with AI and Zoom meetings? You know, when you worked for what you wanted, owned up to mistakes and scrambled to get the 946-pound family dictionary that was currently being used to press your father’s tie when you needed help spelling a word? Scratch that last one. That part stunk. So, yeah, there is one little bit of technological progress and human-assistance I can get behind — spell check and the ability to search for words, synonyms and usage with the touch of my finger. Oh, it’s not perfect, and probably never will be due to the oddities and inconsistencies of the English language, but it sure does help. Have you ever been sending a text or email on your phone and you just start barreling ahead with a word you don’t know how to spell because you know in your heart that digital help is on the way? You ever find yourself double-checking exactly what a word means and its proper usage because you’re afraid of being “that guy” who butchers things and comes off looking like the doofus in front of you at the store who is trying to find a bar code on a grape? Have you ever found yourself in a perilous situation where your life, and the lives of everyone you love, can only be saved by correctly spelling “bougie?” You and me both. Well, to be fair, I’ve probably never used “bougie” in a text
message before. I’m pretty sure I’ve never even said it out loud. Heck, you might have just witnessed the first time I ever even typed the word “bougie” anywhere, at any time. But, according to the fine people at Betway, “bougie” is the top word that Delawareans spell incorrectly. Betway said they studied the words most often used after people enter “How to spell” in a Google search, and, when the dust cleared, the fine scrapple-eaters of Delaware struggled to spell “bougie.” Now, before we get too wrapped up in this spelling void in First-Staters’ spelling tool box, keep in mind that this isn’t a word that spelling incorrectly will result in someone’s death or dismemberment. Rarely will you get a text message from a loved one that says, “Help. Been kidnapped. Bring the most boojie...” It’s also important to note here that the third-place word in terms of Delawareans struggling to spell is “grey.” And... let me check my map here... yeah, we don’t live in Canada. Or the United Kingdom. We use “gray” in these here parts, Betway. As in, “That gray hat was too boojhie for her to wear to the chicken-pickin’ contest.” “Patience” found itself at the fifth spot on Betway’s list, and judging from some of the comments we get on our Facebook posts (you know who you are), that comes from people trying to spell “patients.” Same goes for the seventh word on the list, “lose,” which gets confused with “loose” and “Philadelphia Flyers” a lot around here. So, yeah, those two make sense. The 10th and final word on Delaware’s hard-to-spell list is “schedule.” And, frankly, I’m at a loss here. Curious, I found a site online, gingersoftware.com, that showed how people misspell commonly misspell words online. The most commonly way to misspell “schedule,” via Ginger Software, is “scheduale,” at 10.5 percent of the mistakes made with the word. “Scheduale?” What are we doing here, people? Are we trying to force a drawl on the pronunciation of the word by spelling it a tiny bit phonetical? Scheduale? That sounds more like you’re trying to plan an ale with a friend. “Hey, can you scheduale tonight?” “Nah, can’t make it. I have this boohjee event tonight, and I’m running out of payshense with these things.” “Gotcha. Maybe you can enjoy some kwyit time when it’s over?” Yeah, “Quiet” was No. 9 on the list. I’m starting to think we might need more AI in our lives now.

Letters Reader reaches out to Millsboro officials Editor: Last week, on Oct. 2, 2023, the Millsboro Town Council held a meeting to discuss changing the town code to ban cannabis businesses from operating within town limits. I am strongly against these bans. Cannabis has truly transformed my life! After a car accident in 2009, I was prescribed opioids, muscle relaxers and other medications. The side effects were harming my health and home life. In 2016, I was able to medically retire from teaching and sought better options. After one cannabis edible, I knew I had found a more natural choice that worked to control my
pain, anxiety and PTSD. Cannabis is much safer than alcohol and opioids, as no one has died from cannabis. Our community deserves to have a safe, regulated market in Millsboro. Research shows that opioid use and abuse declines with cannabis sales nearby. Having a dispensary nearby would reduce the illicit market and reduce crime. There are several liquor stores and a methadone clinic in Millsboro, and we are not discussing banning those. Adults deserve the choice to go purchase adult-use cannabis just as they would alcohol. This town is still growing, with hundreds of houses to still be developed. Research has shown that having a dispensary nearby attracts more people to the town. No one wants to drive
45 minutes to get their medicine. If Walgreens and Rite-Aid are allowed to be here and dispense narcotics, then dispensaries should be allowed as well. Millsboro’s website says it’s welcoming to families and professionals, as well as first for growth. Allowing cannabis businesses will help Millsboro prosper! Lizzie Golob Millsboro
Reader critical of town council vote Editor: The Town of Ocean View should be ashamed of itself for voting to ban retail cannabis sales and cultivation. In several years, they will be begging for the revenue, job creation and commu-
nity support that the cannabis industry would provide, and at that point, cannabis businesses should refuse to open here. Myself and several other folks who opposed these bans were the only individuals to show up consistently at town council meetings to offer our testimony accompanied by valid research, yet we were ignored. The mayor alleges there were “businesses and HOAs” that wrote in to support the bans on cannabis, but they never showed up to the meetings and these letters were not entered into the record. The mayor references the fact that medical cannabis is not banned in Ocean View, but where are the medical shops? There are only two, in Rehoboth and Lewes, that offer very limited selection of medicine and exorbitant and unaffordable prices. As myself and another gentleman, Brian Warnock, explained during our testimony, there are many barriers to obtaining a Delaware medical cannabis card and financial barriers, in terms of pricing of medicine. Despite having our Delaware medical cannabis cards, it is still cheaper for us to drive all the way to Ocean City and purchase on the retail side — albeit more of a hassle, especially when I am in pain or throwing up from nausea caused by endometriosis. We shouldn’t have to live like this — 21+ adults and medical patients should be able to drive within 10 minutes from our homes to purchase cannabis for pain or for pleasure. It should not be easier for me to purchase booze and cigarettes than it is for me to purchase a natural alternative, a harmless plant. The Ocean View Town Council flagrantly disregarded our testimony. We presented extremely compelling arguments highlighting their hypocrisy permitting and promoting alcohol within town limits and at town events, despite alcohol being the true gateway drug and a deadly neurotoxin/poison. The mayor said cannabis would “bring a bad element into town,” yet this is exactly what alcohol does, not cannabis. Just look at all of the alcohol-fueled fights and police activity just this summer in Dewey Beach, prompting police to establish a townwide curfew. The mayor also said, “You don’t know when you buy something on the street if it’s natural or if it’s safe,” yet if he listened to us, he would understand this is precisely why we need legal shops. Stephen Cobb questioned why neighboring towns would also ban See LETTERS page 15

Rome is home to one of Europe’s oldest Jewish cuisines, defined by its simple-but-elegant approach to vegetables, its love of frying foods in olive oil, its saucy braised meats and its desserts. Koenig will discuss Rome’s Jewish history and demonstrate two recipes from the book: Silky Marinated Zucchini (concia) and Chocolate Marzipan (marzapane al cioccolato). Participants will have the opportunity to taste Roman Jewish dishes and to purchase signed copies of the book after the event. Registration is available at tinyurl.com/zoomwithauthors or the Lewes Public Library’s website at lewes.lib.de.us. Participants will be asked to select virtual or in-person attendance. Koenig is a food writer and author of seven cookbooks, including “The Jewish Cookbook” and “Modern Jewish Cooking.” Her writing and recipes have appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Food52, Epicurious, Bon Appetit and Food & Wine, among other publications. She also writes the weekly newsletter, The Jewish Table. Participants are being encouraged to support the author by purchasing a copy of the book from local independent bookstore Browseabout Books. Books may be purchased online, at the store, at the event, or by calling (302) 226-2665.
Letters Continued from page 14 cannabis, and the answer is ignorance, discrimination, misinformation, goodol’-boy don’t-go-against-the-grain mentalities, and potentially pressure from large liquor companies and bars, who would see cannabis as competition. They had their minds made up prior to the initial Planning & Zoning committee meeting. They disrespected the will of the voters and are making it more difficult for adults to access cannabis safely, legally and affordably. Alexandra Miller Ocean View

Delaware Watersheds Photo Contest opens for entries DNREC is again inviting photographers of all ages and skill levels to submit their best shots and to participate in the Delaware Watersheds Photo Contest. Hosted by the DNREC Division of Watershed Stewardship, the contest is designed to share the beauty of Delaware’s diverse environment while acting as a vivid reminder that everything that happens on land directly affects what happens in the waterways. A watershed is land that water moves across or under while flowing to a specific body of water. Every acre of land and body of water in Delaware is part of a watershed. And the contest lens for focusing on watersheds has widened — unlike previous Delaware Watersheds Photo Contests, this year there is no restriction or limitation on where photos can be taken, meaning images associated with any of the 45 watersheds in the state will be accepted. The 2023 contest
opens online for entries Friday, Oct. 13, and closes Friday, Nov. 10. “The watersheds contest continues to challenge photographers to capture the unique beauty and functionality of Delaware’s watersheds,” said DNREC Secretary Shawn M. Garvin. “What better way of promoting the roles watersheds play in improving water quality and helping to manage precious water resources — both under threat due to impacts of climate change on our state. What we want to see in these photos is the outsize importance watersheds have — and have always had, but now more than ever — here in the second smallest and lowest-lying state.” A panel of judges consisting of a photographer, an educator and a scientist from DNREC staff will be looking for striking photographic images of Delaware’s waterways, landscapes, sustainable watershed practices, native
plants and animals and agricultural practices. The judging panel will determine the finalists whose work will be posted on the DNREC website, with the winning photograph to be chosen by public voting through the DNREC Division of Watershed Stewardship Facebook page. The winner will receive a prize pack including a $250 Visa gift card, a 2023 Delaware State Parks annual pass, a print of the winning photograph, and a certificate signed by Gov. John Carney and DNREC Secretary Shawn M. Garvin. The winning photo also will be published in Outdoor Delaware, DNREC’s online magazine, at de.gov/outdoordelaware. To enter the Delaware Watersheds Photo Contest, use the online submission form at de.gov/watershed.

ARBOR-LYN IS MORE THAN JUST HOME. Locals who live and work in Rehoboth Beach sure know a good thing when they see it, which is why Devon and Mustafa chose Arbor-Lyn. This community checked all the boxes for its' sought-after zip code, proximity to downtown Rehoboth, ample amenities, energy-efficient Schell homes and close-knit community feel. After visiting various communities, we fell in love with Schell Brothers’ attention to detail when it comes to building. And because we knew what our version of perfect looked like, the decision to make Arbor-Lyn our home was one of the easiest that we have ever made together. The proximity to both Rehoboth and Lewes makes it an ideal launching pad for exploring the beaches or bays in either direction. We had the pleasure of working with a well-informed, knowledgeable team that welcomed our questions while helping us to explore the full potential of the model we fell in love with. When we asked to see every possible feature, the team dove in headfirst and helped us maximize our favorite bells and whistles to give us the home of our dreams.

‘Red Clay Suzie’ author to visit Lewes library for book event
Coastal Point • Susan Lyons
A blue heron got a little reflective outside of the Coastal Points World Headquarters in Ocean View this week.
The Lewes Public Library, CAMP Rehoboth and Browseabout Books will welcome author Jeffrey Dale “J.D.” Lofton for a discussion and book signing of his novel “Red Clay Suzie” on Tuesday, Oct. 24, at 5 p.m. at the library, 111 Adams Avenue in Lewes. Lofton will be in conversation with Jeff Wilkinson, retired literacy specialist and facilitator of The CAMP Rehoboth Book Club. The event will also be streamed live online via Zoom. Inspired by true events, “Red Clay Suzie” is the coming-of-age story of Philbet, a gay, physically-misshapen boy in rural Georgia, who battles bullying, ignorance and disdain as he makes his way in life as an outsider. Fueled by tomato sandwiches and green milkshakes, and obsessed with cars, Philbet is happiest when helping Grandaddy dig potatoes from the vegetable garden that connects their houses. Over time, he finds inner strength from the life lessons learned in Grandaddy’s garden and through his passion for Knox — the boy to whom he has given his heart — if only he can summon the courage to tell him. Registration is required. At registration, participants will be asked to select virtual or in-person attendance. Visit tinyurl.com/zoomwithauthors or lewes.lib.de.us to sign up. Participants are being encouraged to support the author by purchasing a copy of the book from local independent bookstore Browseabout Books. Orders may be placed online, in-person or by calling the store at (302) 226-2665. Books will also be available for purchase and signing at the event. Lofton hails from Warm Springs, Ga., and has lived in Washington, D.C., for more than three decades. He performed as a professional actor for many years in D.C. theaters, including the Kennedy Center, Signature Theatre, Woolly Mammoth and Studio Theatre. He works now as a senior advisor at the Library of Congress, surrounded by books and people who love books.
No update yet on Bethany Beach police chief’s status By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter The Bethany Beach Town Council will determine what actions to take regarding suspended Police Chief Michael Redmon after his case has been settled in the criminal justice system. “At the time the case is resolved, the Town will officially review the incident and determine what the Town’s future actions regarding Chief Redmon will be. We have no control over timing,” Mayor Rosemary Hardiman recently told the
Coastal Point. Redmon was suspended from his duties with the Bethany Beach Police Department after being charged with driving under the influence near Selbyville a little after midnight on May 30. At the time, Hardiman confirmed the 56-year-old chief had been suspended and relieved of his duties as chief “pending the adjudication of the charge that has been placed against him.” “At the time the case is resolved, the Town will officially review the incident and determine what the Town’s future
actions regarding Chief Redmon will be,” she had also said at the time. Neither she nor Town Manager Cliff Graviet would comment further. Delaware State Police Cpl. Leonard DeMalto, at the time the incident, told the Coastal Point that Redmon, a former Delaware State Trooper who had been chief about 20 years, was stopped at 12:19 a.m. on Lighthouse Road near Old Mill Road east of Selbyville. DeMalto said Redmon was not driving a marked police vehicle, but it remains unclear whether the vehicle he
was driving was an unmarked vehicle in the police department’s fleet. It is against state police policy to release information as to whether a breathalyzer test was administered or what Redmon’s blood alcohol level was, DeMalto said. He said a traffic ticket was issued, but Redmon was not taken to jail or put in a holding cell. There was no accident or speeding involved, and Redmon was released to a sober individual, he said. “Each case is unique. It’s up to the judge,” he said.

The Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) announced this week that, effective Oct. 11, active-duty military and their dependents may qualify for a document fee exemption, as 2 Del. Admin. C. §2266 was amended “to assist with the transition to a new state less strenuous on active duty military personnel and their dependents, who are deployed to the state of Delaware.” The exemption includes the registration of a motor vehicle by a member of the military (active, reserve or national guard) and their dependent family members who are stationed on either a temporary or permanent basis within the state of Delaware and whose vehicles are registered in their state of residence or at their previous duty assignment (to include an overseas assignment). Military members or their dependent
family members must provide activeduty military orders indicating a temporary or permanent change of duty station within 90 days of relocating to Delaware or within 90 days of the vehicle purchase. “Active-duty military personnel and their families often relocate multiple times during their careers in the armed forces,” state Sen. Eric Buckson (RDover) said. “Figuring out new and innovative ways to assist these individuals to more easily transition to life in Delaware is important. I applaud the Department of Transportation and Division of Motor Vehicles for recognizing this challenge and meeting it head-on.” “Our active-duty military are no strangers to relocation, adapting to new surroundings and environments. Waiving the document fee is one small thing we can do to help ease their transition,”
said Delaware Department of Transportation Secretary Nicole Majeski. “The process to request an exemption is quite easy,” added Director of the Division of Motor Vehicles Amy Anthony. “As soon as you get settled, just bring your active-duty military orders to one of our DMV locations. If you have a family member who qualifies, they must also be listed on the orders.” The Military Document Fee Credit should be applied at the time of titling. For more infomation on the change, visit dmv.de.gov. The DMV also offers various services for veterans, including a Veteran’s Indicator that can be added to any driver license or identification card. DMV’s Heroes of the Highway program assists recently discharged military members with obtaining their Commercial Driver License.
Barbosa
Prior to joining Beebe, she served as medical director of the Delaware Breast Cancer Program at TidalHealth. Before that, she was medical director of the Clark Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Maryland’s Shore Regional Health Center. “Throughout my career, I have always said that I work at a hospital, but I truly work for the patient,” said Barbosa. “Doing what is best for the patient is paramount and is at the heart of my day-to-day work.”
Outside of work, Barbosa said she enjoys swimming, kayaking, photography and gardening. She is passionate about art and music and attended the “Fame” school in New York City as a voice major. Barbosa is married and has two dogs and one cat. She speaks Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French and some Russian. For more information or to make an appointment, call (302) 703-3595.

Words by Darin J. McCann | Photography by Photos by Sarah Beth | Getty Images Wedding invitations give me anxiety.
Words by Taryn King During a time when various events, ranging from casual to formal, were faced with indoor restrictions, people quickly shifted their gatherings to the outdoors. While capacity limitations were still in place, it was easier to breathe (no pun intended) in the open air. In the wedding industry, that shift blossomed into creative and reimagined ways of celebrating a couples’ joining. One such notion became the ever-trending “luxury picnic” concept. Most people have been familiar with the idea of laying a blanket on the ground and sharing a meal with friends or family since their formative years. Sometimes, it’s on the cool grass in a serene park, sometimes at home in the living room (when mom wasn’t up for
6
cooking), and sometimes with our little friends in the back yard — just about all of us have memories of something representing the archetypal picnic. More casual wedding-related events, such as bachelorette parties, formal rehearsal dinners — and even small intimate weddings — embraced the idea of gathering with loved ones in a nostalgic setting with the added boost of professional planning. While we are no longer living under conditions that require people to keep their distance in outdoor settings, the luxury picnic appeal has not dissipated. In fact, there are now more planners offering this service than during the pan-

We’re window dressing, basically, and therein lies the rub: How should we dress? Specifically, how should a man dress when going to a wedding as a guest? Not as a groom. Not as a member of the party. No, those things are pre-ordained by the couple of the hour. Those choices are easy. This is when we have to dress up but don’t really know how to dress up. How do we do this? How do we do any of this? Fret not, dear readers. We have your back. But you need to do just a little bit of research first. It’s not all that hard, and there’s a very good chance the information you need can be found right on that invitation. You have to find out what kind of dress is expected. Let’s take a look at some options:

I can’t be the only one, right? Others have to see the top-shelf stationery arrive in the mail, or the eye-catching invitation that now arrives via the digital expressway, and feel a tightening in the chest and a shaking in the knees, right? Well, maybe it is me. But it’s not out of any disdain for the rituals of marriage or a public celebration of love. No, there’s very little that is more beautiful than the idea of two human beings pledging their souls and lives to one another in front of the people they cherish. It is pure and exciting and can warm the very sub-cockles of one’s heart. I just don’t know what to wear. Look, I get it. Nobody’s there to look at what some schlub is wearing to a wedding. They are there to see the couple of the hour — the reason for the season, so to speak. The

Real EDvice What are the pros and cons of a construction loan A construction loan is a shortterm loan (typically no longer than two years) that provides the funds required to build a property. Flaherty A construction loan can cover costs, such as: land/lot, building materials, labor, building permits, septic/well, etc. Some of the pros of doing a construction loan would be that you may use it to build a new home (vs. buying an existing home). You may also choose your builder, selections, options, and other upgrades or extras that you may not find in an existing home. Cons to doing a construction loan would be that payments on the construction loan begin once funds start being disbursed to the builder. With a traditional mortgage, payments don’t begin until settlement. Another con is that the interest rates on construction loans are typically higher than on traditional mortgages. Your closing costs may be higher due to
required inspections. I worked with a family who owned a lot for several years and decided to build. Since more than one year had lapsed from when they bought to when the permit was obtained, they were not required to pay the transfer taxes on the cost of the home, which saved them thousands of dollars! Anne Vogel Flaherty Prosperity Home Mortgage LLC (302) 437-5076 Anne.vogel@phmloans.com
New-construction homes carry some risk with potential delays in materials, unknown upgrades or last-minute change orders, Walsh and could have unexpected, unforeseen contingencies. In the past couple years, I had customers build their own dream

home. By the time the appraisal was completed and the borrowers signed the documents at settlement, some estimates more than doubled in price. Some construction materials which normally took 4-6 weeks were taking over 24 weeks to deliver. The overall project was $100,000 overbudget, but, fortunately, the borrowers had enough equity in the property and qualified for the larger loan amount. Customizing the floor plan, potentially saving money and low maintenance are a few loan construction pros. A custom floorplan allows you to construct your dream home that suits your unique style of living and entertaining guests. Having the ability to pick where you live, along with choosing all the interior and exterior options could save you money. Brand new homes have all new floors, appliances, a new roof and HVAC units that offer warranties. Not all institutions offer construction loans, so consult with your financial professional to determine if construction loans are offered and if it is the best product for your situation. Cory Walsh Taylor Bank (302) 541-0500 CWalsh@taylorbank.com
The good part about the construction loan is that the payments are “interest only” during the construction period, based on the cumulative
balance of draws made, rather than the total contract price of the job, so early payments are low initially. The downside of a construction Bayer project is that there are frequently delays, which can impact the permanent timing of the final rate. And, I have seen new “costs” appear that should have been a part of the original cost quoted by the buyer as a standard part of building that the builder tacks on to the cost, even though previously the builder guaranteed that the contract price was never going to change. So, it is a good idea to have a 5 percent contingency built into the contract to cover overruns, or it can be potentially added to the loan if the builder doesn’t want to build it into the contract. Once the house is finished, then the rate could be lowered if the rates have improved since the start of the project, which benefits you. Also, be sure that you use a lender that only has one closing, rather than two, to lower your closing costs. Keep in mind that the builder’s “incentive” is inflated in the price of the construction jobs, so the buyer is actually bearing the cost. Liz Bayer ProMortgage (302) 581-2035 LizForLoans@gmail.com

HR compliance and resources workshop offered for small businesses On Wednesday, Nov. 8, SCORE Delaware and the Bethany-Fenwick Area Chamber of Commerce will host a business workshop titled “HR Compliance and Resources for Small Businesses: What You Need to Know About New Delaware Laws.” The legislation that will be high-

an overview of each piece of legislation and discussion by a panel of legal and HR experts on how the laws may impact businesses’ financials, policies and onboarding processes. That will be followed by a discussion of business resources, next steps for business owners and a Q&A session.
In addition to the scheduled programming, the event includes a complimentary breakfast courtesy of SCORE Delaware and time for networking. Registration is required, as seating is limited. There is no cost to attend the event. Register online at thequietresorts.com or call (302) 539-2100.
CONNEX Delaware aims to strengthen manufacturing supply chain The Delaware Manufacturing Extension Partnership (DEMEP) and Delaware Technical Community College recently announced the launch of CONNEX Delaware, a free online software platform designed to strengthen the state’s local and domestic manufacturing supply chain. Through the platform, officials said, Delaware manufacturers will be able to better connect with each other, find local suppliers, mitigate risk, discover new business opportunities and manage their supply chains. “We are thrilled to introduce the CONNEX platform to our state’s manufacturers,” said Rustyn Stoops, DEMEP deputy director. “Not only will this help manufacturers in our state source materials and services from one another, but it will also allow them to offer their goods and services to manufacturers across the country.” The CONNEX Delaware platform will allow manufacturers to post Requests for Information (RFI), Requests for Proposals (RFP) and Requests for Quote (RFQ) in the platform’s B2B Exchange Center and quickly identify Delaware suppliers who can meet their needs. Delaware suppliers can also increase their discoverability by large primes and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) through their CONNEX profile, which catalogs their capabilities, equipment, processes, materials, certifications, and more. This will lead to manufacturing opportunities in new markets, they noted. “We are always looking for ways to help Delaware manufacturers achieve their goals,” said Stoops. “CONNEX Delaware will be a tremendous resource for our manufacturers and is another example of our commitment to provide manufacturers with resources that ensure a productive, efficient, and resilient manufacturing community.” Through the sponsorship of the Delaware Manufacturing Extension Partnership and funding provided through the CHIPS and Science Act, a local version of the platform will be provided for free to all Delaware manufacturers to connect with each other and find new business opportunities within the state. In addition,
Delaware MEP is offering manufacturers a free one-year upgrade to the entire national platform if they sign up by Dec. 6. This means Delaware manufacturers can freely connect with all U.S. manufacturers and discover new business opportunities across the country. “We are excited to be part of the
CONNEX Delaware implementation,” said CONNEX Marketplace President and CEO Alan Davis. “This dynamic platform will help connect and lift Delaware’s manufacturing ecosystem, align local, state, and national manufacturing goals, increase collaboration across all state manufacturing organizations, and
better connect large and small manufacturers across the state with new business opportunities.” Registration for Delaware manufacturers and suppliers is now under way. To register or get more information, visit https://www.demep.org/connex/.

Brightman pursuing bachelor’s degree at Albright College Blake Brightman of Frankford has begun higher-education studies at Albright College, pursuing a bachelor’s degree as a member of the Class of 2027. A graduate of Indian River High School, Brightman is studying business administration (marketing) at Albright. Brightman is joined by 440 first-year and transfer students. Members of the new class have taken an average of seven honors courses during high school, with 36 having graduated in the top 10 percent of their high school
classes, and 68 are eligible for Albright’s Honors program. The class boasts six Eagle Scouts and four Girl Scout Gold Award winners. Although their top declared majors are business, biology, psychology and education, the college’s Alpha program (designed to help students find their best fit) is also very popular among class of 2027 members. About 70 percent of new Albrightians plan to take advantage of the college’s co-major program, which enables
students to cross or combine different programs, without taking longer to graduate. This year’s new Albrightians come from around the country and the globe, joining the Reading, Pa., community from both coasts, 18 different states and 14 countries, including Croatia, Dominican Republic, Germany, Hong Kong—SAR, Iran, Italy, Japan, Jersey, Netherlands, Nigeria, Portugal, Skorea, Sweden and Vietnam. About 54 percent of them are non-white. More than 50 percent of the Albright
Class of 2027 will be the first in their families to attend college. More than a third will compete as varsity Division III athletes. A total of 18 are Albright Shirk Scholars, two have earned full Davis Scholarships and another 18 join Albright as members of the second Global Scholars cohort — living together throughout their first year, while taking a series of courses together in the fall and spring semesters.
Dilly Dally Cruiser Rally set for Oct. 21 The Celebrate Wellness initiative is committed to promoting wellness for the community and hospitality workers, all in effort to improve lives, through education, financial support and connections to wellness experts. Celebrate Wellness, led by Kathy McDonald, La Vida Hospitality’s director of Community Development, has hosted seven free wellness sessions for hospitality workers and the community. McDonald has also created an official wellness website as a host of resources and partners for all areas of wellness, accessible to hospitality workers at any and all times. Five more sessions are planned throughout the fall, each session focusing on at least one aspect of the wellness wheel. The wellness wheel focuses on seven aspects of life that when balanced assure wellness — social, intellectual, physical, environmental, emotional, spiritual and financial. The goal is to check in with oneself, evaluate how one is doing, and highlight any imbalances that might be preventing one from living a happy and healthy life. “Wellness is an active process in which an individual becomes aware of and makes choices towards a more healthy life,” McDonald said. “Wellness is something that impacts us all, and to bring that to the forefront, Celebrate Wellness is wheeling into something really great.” On Saturday, Oct. 21, Celebrate Wellness will host the 1st Inaugural Dilly Dally Cruiser Rally — a relaxed, costumed cruise along Breakwater Trail, designed for those who enjoy a leisurely, fun bike ride. It’s a day dedicated to camaraderie, joy-riding, and raising funds and awareness for the Celebrate Wellness program. “And the best part is, you get to do it in costume!” McDonald said. The event will begin and end at Schellville, with registration kicking off at 2 p.m. and riders pedaling off at 2:30 p.m. The group will gather after the ride at Schellville Fall Festival, with live music provided by Chris Steele from 3 to 5 p.m. and Go-Go Retro from 5 to 8 p.m. There will be local food trucks, drinks, an artisan market, Beebe Mobile Health Unit and lots of fall activities. Participants may decide to ride the whole 11-mile loop, part of the trail, or just come and celebrate wellness. All are welcome! Tickets are available on Eventbrite. This special initiative provides resources
that McDonald said she wishes she was equipped with when stepping into the hospitality world more than 40 years ago. She said the idea of a costumed ride comes from
her years in Key West. On the island, there was always a costumed event, and this first annual ride pays homage to that. The costume planning and excitement leading up to
the event are designed to create a sense of whimsy, and McDonald said she feels we all need a little (or a lot) more of that freedom in our lives.

Georgetown Elementary student recognized by SDARJ The Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice (SDARJ) recently honored Georgetown Elementary fourth-grader Adrien Batson for his leadership, effort and excellence. Batson was new to Georgetown Elementary last year, representatives said, “but that didn’t stop him from befriending many of his classmates and peers. His teachers say he is a wonderful addition to the classroom, school and community. Adrien is charismatic, hard-working and kind, and his smile is infectious to all around him. “Adrien dove into his new environment with enthusiasm, participating in various community sports teams. He was even named the Georgetown Boys & Girls Club Student of the Week this past summer.” One of his teachers said, “Adrien is a role model for all. He is the type of student all teachers hope to have in their classroom and one you will never forget.” Surrounded by family, Adrien was honored in a ceremony at the school and received a $20 gift card from SDARJ. SDARJ initiated the African American Achievement award to recognize students who represent the ideals of leadership, improvement, effort and excellence in their schools.

NAMI Delaware expands southern reach NAMI Delaware is expanding its programming and services in southern Delaware to better serve the area’s growing populations and their mental health needs. The organization this week announced the promotion of Jacqueline Contreras, previously the part-time multicultural engagement coordinator, to Southern Delaware coordinator, a fulltime role with a focus on building programming capacity.
“Jackie’s proven skills and talents make her the right person for this role,” said Joshua Thomas, president and CEO of NAMI Delaware. “Given her passion for supporting people affected by mental illness, she is the perfect choice to further grow our footprint.” The position grew out of NAMI Delaware’s strategic planning process, which concluded that a full-time staffer in Kent and Sussex counties was neces-
sary to support residents in Southern Delaware. Contreras, who is fluent in English and Spanish, has worked with NAMI Delaware since 2020, primarily with the Spanish-speaking community in Sussex County. In her new role, she will build programming to meet educational and support needs in both counties, as well as assist with advocacy and the HelpLine, and represent the organization at meet-
ings, events and community activities. “My goal is to develop programs and events that strengthen the support networks for our families, organizations, and companies affected by chronic mental health conditions,” said Contreras. “I love the vitally important work that NAMI does helping people who live with mental illness. It crosses borders, boundaries, and language barriers, and I’m pleased to play a role in this effort.”

Millville’s Evans Park holds dedication for Blue Star and Gold Star memorials By Kerin Magill Staff Reporter The dedication of the Blue Star and Gold Star memorials at Millville’s Evans Park was a day to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice and to salute those who served their country. Attending the Saturday, Oct. 14 ceremony — which was held in the park’s Community Center because of the threat of rain — were veterans and their families, as well as members of area first-responder agencies, Boy Scouts, garden club members and local officials. Millville Mayor Ronald Belinko called the occasion “very humbling” and “very historical,” as it marked the first time in Delaware that a Blue Star Memorial, honoring all members of the U.S. armed forces, and a Gold Star Memorial, honoring families of those who died while serving in the military, are in the same location. Community members submitted names of active-duty military, Gold Star families and veterans for publication in the program for the event. Throughout the dedication ceremony, music was provided by classical guitarist George Bachmann and vocalist Tricia Gardner. Gardeners by the Sea garden club President Alva Hutchison told the crowd that packed the community center about the club’s partnership with the Town, as well as Mason-Dixon VFW Post 7234 in bringing the project to fruition. The garden club oversaw the placement of the boulders that are the centerpiece of the dual memorials and provided landscaping around the memorials, which are located at the northeast corner of the park, near the new pavilion. “We are honored to have our Gold Star families, our World War II vets,” Hutchison said, referring to Bill Cobb and Ernest Marvel. “What an honor, what a pleasure to have them with us.” “I know that there are people that you are holding in your heart right now, that probably brought tears to your eyes,” Hutchison said. Later in the program, Hutchison rang a bell as VFW Post Commander James Jensen read the names of 10 members of the armed services who died serving their country — one ring of the bell for each name. Gardner followed the remembrance by singing “Amazing Grace,” accompanied by See MEMORIALS page 33

The Town plans to hold a similar ceremony each year. Families are being invited to submit names of loved ones for the annual tributes. After the ceremony, three members of Boy Scout Troop 281, who had helped set up the room for the event and participated in the presentation of the colors at its start, sat together snacking on doughnuts from the breakfast that had been provided for invited guests. Ayden Beaver, 13, said he had never been to a ceremony like the one held at Evans Park on Saturday. Trey Deale said he enjoyed taking part in the honor guard and said he had thought while he was listening to the stories of service, “Man, this is awesome.” Gabe Ott, 13, said he found the sto-

St. Ann’s Knights chapter earns top award St. Ann’s Knights of Columbus Council 16771 recently received the Star Council Award for 2023. This is the third straight year that the council has won the award, and it is one of only five councils in the state to receive the recognition. The Star Council Award recognizes outstanding achievement in membership growth, fraternal finance programs, and community and parish support programs. “The Council wishes to offer thanks to all members of the community who have supported Knights of Columbus,” representatives said. During its fiscal year that ended June 30, the council raised more than $40,000 that supported local programs for the homeless, individuals with intellectual disabilities, injured veterans and first-responders. Justin’s Beach House, St. Ann’s parish and nearby pregnancy-support centers were targeted by the council. In addition, they also purchased and distributed nearly 200 winter coats to needy children and families in the community. “This most recent Star Council Award is a reflection, among other things, of the leadership team and the dedication of the members of our local Knights Council to support those in need in our local community,” said Tom McElroy, the Grand Knight of the St. Ann’s Council. L “Our council is growing, and our members are continually looking Sways to support our community confor Knights of Columbus sistent with the mission that is focused on charity and faith.” Membership in the Knights of Columbus is open to men 18 or older who are practicing Catholics in union with the Holy See. For information, contact the membership director, Steve Van Meter at svanmeter77@gmail.com.

DSHA shares report on housing needs Off icials, community members gather in Dover for f indings Delawareans, including government officials, nonprofit and for-profit partners, and service providers, joined the Delaware State Housing Authority (DSHA) at Polytech Adult Education Center recently to hear preliminary findings from the 2023 Housing Needs Assessment report compiled by Root Policy Research. Key findings from the report include: • Overall, 50 percent of renters in Delaware are cost-burdened, with 25,000 severely cost-burdened—paying more than 50 percent of their in-
come in rent. • Since 2010, the homeownership rate has dropped for all age cohorts except seniors, with the most significant decline among ages 35 to 44, where the rate dropped from 71 percent to 63 percent. • The composition of the state’s housing stock has changed little over time, with the most significant change being a 6,800 unit decrease in manufactured or mobile homes. • To keep up with household growth through 2030, the state will need to add 24,400 new units or an average of 2,400 units per year. Key takeaways from the report, officials said, include: • Securing additional funding and financing tools will be essential to ad-
dressing current housing shortages and meeting projected needs. Delaware has received unprecedented federal and state funding for housing in recent years, but more investment will be needed. • Planning and zoning changes are needed to ensure all Delawareans can access safe housing, regardless of income, age, location or household size. Even with additional funding and resources, efforts to address the state’s housing needs will be constrained unless state and local regulatory policies explicitly encourage the development of diverse housing types. • Cross-sector collaboration is crucial to making meaningful progress toward addressing the shortage of affordable units. This includes communication and cooperation among state and municipal governments as well as the private and nonprofit sectors. To view the Delaware Housing Needs Assessment Executive Summary and event PowerPoint, visit: http://www.destatehousing.com/Form sAndInformation/needs.php. The full report will be available later this fall. This comprehensive report was completed using data collection and analysis of various housing sources, stakeholder interviews and focus groups with residents, community leaders and housing advocates, and a resident survey. The report aims to inform housing agencies and local jurisdictions in prioritizing housing and housing-related services, developing more targeted program and policy responses, and better coordinating federal, state and local resources. “Everyone deserves safe and affordable housing, but we know there is not
enough housing stock, and home prices have excluded so many people from the market,” said outgoing U.S. Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.). “Thousands of people in Delaware today are able to afford a roof over their head because of our state’s housing authority working hand in glove with partners — including federal programs your congressional delegation works so hard to protect — to make Delaware a great place to live. I will keep working to ensure everyone has an affordable and safe place they can call home.” “The 2023 Housing Needs Assessment report findings are a stark reminder that the housing crisis in Delaware is real, and it is urgent,” said Matthew Heckles, HUD regional administrator. “My team and I in HUD’s Region 3 are committed to working with our state and local partners to secure additional funding and financing tools for affordable housing.” “We know that affordable housing must be a priority for our state,” said Gov. John Carney. “We have a lot of work to do, but we are moving in the right direction. We are making historic investments in housing throughout Delaware, and the data collected in the Housing Needs Assessment will help us to identify the most effective solutions. I want to thank the Delaware State Housing Authority and all of our partners for their efforts.” “Together, I’m confident that we can make Delaware the perfect place to live for all current and future residents,” said Eugene Young Jr., director of DSHA. “I want to thank Root Policy Research and the DSHA staff for their hard work today and over the past few months. We are proud of this report and can’t wait for the full release later this fall.”

Hall-Long, White kick off opioid-abuse prevention campaign Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long and NFL Hall of Famer Randy White joined forces with Delaware coaches and student-athletes in New Castle and Kent counties last weekend to kick off the Coaches vs. Overdoses initiative to curb prescription opioid abuse in Delaware. The initiative is part of a national campaign designed to foster a proactive prevention and drug disposal blitz targeting opioid abuse and overdose deaths, especially among student-athletes. The two-day event, held at Thomas McKean High School in Wilmington and Caesar Rodney High School in Camden, took place during National Substance Abuse Prevention Month, which helps to educate communities about the dangers of substance abuse, especially among younger Americans. “Far too many of us know someone
Artisan, hand rolled, grilled pizzas, awesome wine & local craft beer
struggling with substance use disorder,” said Hall-Long, Ph.D., R.N. “As chair of Delaware’s Behavioral Health Consortium, I’ve seen the impact this epidemic has had on communities and families throughout Delaware. The good news is that we are fighting back to bench opioids and save lives. Through the Coaches vs. Overdoses initiative, we are working to educate student athletes and parents about the dangers of opioids and promote the prevention and treatment resources available here in Delaware. I want to thank the many partners of this initiative, including the NFL, and encourage everyone to pick up and learn about our Prevention Playbooks.” Hall-Long and White, a native Delawarean, were featured speakers during the halftimes of both games. As part of the two-day event, White spoke at his alma mater, Thomas McKean High School, about the recent loss of his son-in-law due to a prescription drug overdose. “I am honored to bring the Coaches vs. Overdoses program to my home state of Delaware,” said White, former Dallas Cowboy and Pro Football Hall
of Famer. “I unfortunately lost my sonin-law to an overdose and am now helping to raise my grandson. I am dedicated to spreading awareness and education on this issue and thrilled to work with coaches across the country on this initiative to protect our youth.” As part of the initiative, “Prevention Playbooks” have been distributed to Delaware schools throughout the state in coordination with the DIAA as an educational resource to warn about the dangers of prescription opioid misuse. The initiative also features public service announcements and free take-home drug disposal kits to encourage the proper disposal of unused medication. DisposeRx, a national medication disposal company, has partnered with the Delaware Department of Education and the Delaware State Police to distribute safe drug-disposal kits to Delaware students and families. The fall initiative builds on prior substance-use awareness work that focused on outreach in collaboration with the DIAA and high school basketball teams. “We are proud to partner with the
State of Delaware on the Coaches vs. Overdoses effort, to educate families about the risks associated with both prescription and counterfeit drug misuse and to stress the importance of safe medication disposal,” said William Simpson, president and chief executive officer of DisposeRx Inc. “Prevention and education are critical to mitigating the overdose crisis, as is ensuring communities across the country understand the importance of properly disposing of unused medications.” “As parents and guardians all of us need to be more aware about potential dangers to our families in our own homes,” Secretary of Education Mark Holodick said. “We’re proud to partner with the lieutenant governor and Delaware State Police to help get this tool to our families.” Recent data shows that about 70 percent of teens who misuse opioids get them from friends or relatives. According to the National Institutes for Health, over 28 percent of student athletes will receive an opioid preSee CAMPAIGN page 39

Campaign Continued from page 38 scription at some point, one of the highest rates of any student population. As of Sept. 21, Delaware data showed a total of 360 people had died from a suspected drug overdose. “Football games bring our communities together,” said Safety & Homeland Security Secretary Nathaniel McQueen Jr. “While sports can be a source of physical and mental strength, they can also expose young individuals to unique risks, including the misuse of prescription opioids. As the opioid crisis evolves, so must our response. Increasing the awareness of high school athletes is essential to our efforts. By educating communities, offering support, advocating for change, and practicing prevention, we can make a difference.” “DIAA piloted this program at our boys, girls and unified basketball championships in the spring, and is pleased to continue this partnership to support the health and safety of our student athletes, their families and fans,” DIAA Executive Director David Baylor said. The Sussex County Health Coalition, which coordinates the Delaware Goes Purple campaign each October, was also on hand to provide educational resources and talk with attendees about the dangers of opioids. “The Coaches vs. Overdoses initiative is a wonderful opportunity for Delaware Goes Purple to raise awareness about the dangers of substance abuse in our community,” said Peggy Geisler, executive director of the Sussex County Health Coalition. “We are thrilled to join forces with the Coaches vs. Overdoses national campaign to underscore the importance of educating our youth and their families on this very serious issue.” “DSCYF is a proud partner of the Coaches vs. Overdoses events and believe the Playbook provides valuable resources and information all families can use” said Shelly Lazorchak, director of prevention services for the Division of Prevention & Behavioral Health Services, part of the Department of Services for Children, Youth & Their Families. “Providing youth and adults information on the facts about substance misuse and educating them on the real dangers of the substances available today can be lifesaving! We encourage adults to talk to kids about substance misuse and urge everyone to safely store prescription medications — and other substances — from easy access, and to destroy any unused medications at home. Prevention works!”

Navarro announces workers’ comp decrease New rates will be effective Dec. 1 Insurance Commissioner Trinidad Navarro announced recently that workers’ compensation insurance rates will decrease for the seventh year in a row, effective Dec. 1. The voluntary market is expected to decrease 7.24 percent, while the residual market will see a reduction of 11.18 percent. “From the start of my administration to today, Delaware’s local businesses have never seen a worker’s compensation rate increase. We started with some of the highest costs in the country, and endured a pandemic, yet our reforms are still proving themselves to be effective,” said Navarro. “Most importantly, businesses are doing their part by commit-
ting to reducing risk through employee protections and creating safe work environments. I’m proud to announce yet another decrease. Delaware businesses deserve it.” This year’s decrease in worker’s compensation insurance rates continues the reversal of voluntary and residual market trends, officials noted. With the residual market expected to see a greater rate decrease, it shows that companies who previously could only obtain coverage in this ‘last resort’ market, due to cost, high risk, or claims history, can now obtain traditional voluntary market coverage, they said. This is the second year of this trend, which indicates substantial improvement in coverage affordability and employee safety, they noted. Workers’ compensation insurance
provides coverage when an employee is hurt on the job and can provide medical coverage, as well as payments for lost wages if a person is unable to work due to their injury. Lower premiums don’t change the amount of compensation an injured employee receives. Final rates are expected to be announced later this fall, following a confirmation of the Delaware Compensation Rating Bureau (DCRB) filing by independent actuaries, and a public hearing with DCRB and the State’s Ratepayer Advocate. Actual savings will vary by policy. The lower rates are just one component of several department efforts to help businesses. More than 1,100 employers are saving even more on their premiums by participating in the department’s Workplace Safety Program, saving approximately $6.9 million last year. Eligible businesses can earn up to a 19 percent discount on their insurance by successfully undergoing annual safety
inspections and complying with recommendations. Importantly, employees may also benefit directly from employer-based safety goals — for example, a workplace may offer bonuses if there are no injuries in a given timeframe and pass on the savings to workers. Businesses eligible for the Workplace Safety Program are notified each year seven months prior to their renewal date. Organizations interested in participating can access questionnaires online and contact safety@delaware.gov to begin the process. The department has updated the Inspection Fee Schedule for program participants, as indicated on the questionnaire. Workplace Safety Program inspectors are independent safety professionals contracted by the department, not state employees or OSHA. Only benefits can be gained by participating. Failure to qualify cannot be the basis for premium increases or sanctions imposed by other safety officials.

La Red provides free haircuts to Springboard Village residents La Red Health Center recently partnered with Seaford-based Imagination Hair Styles Unisex Salon to offer individuals experiencing homelessness free haircuts and beard trims. The La Red team and two stylists from Imagination Hair Styles provided haircuts to about 30 individuals on Wednesday, Oct. 11, at the Springboard Village in Georgetown. La Red’s community outreach staff also distributed homeless-shelter kits to individuals. The team set up a makeshift salon and scheduled appointments with both men and women at the village. During the appointments, individuals carried on conversations, joked, laughed and admired their new styles. Homelessness continues to be a growing problem in Delaware and in Sussex County, noted La Red representatives. According to the 2023 Point in Time Count report issued by Housing Alliance Delaware, the number of people counted as unsheltered increased from 154 people in 2022 to 198 in 2023, a 28 percent increase. The study also found that the number of Delawareans living in emergency shelters, transitional housing or hotels paid by a charitable voucher was 1,091 in 2023. The report found that 32.7 percent of individuals who were unsheltered were in Sussex County, and 15 percent of those experiencing homelessness but were sheltered also were from Sussex County. The link between homelessness and chronic illness is strong, La Red representatives noted. According the National Health Care for the Homeless Council, chronic illness or injury can lead to job losses, loss of income and ultimately loss of housing. People who are experiencing homelessness also have higher rates of diabetes, hypertension, heart attacks, HIV, hepatitis C, depression and substance-use disorder, according to the council. Part of La Red’s mission is to connect Sussex County’s homeless population with healthcare services that can change the trajectory of their health and housing situation. La Red seeks to make those connections through its community outreach efforts and its bilingual community outreach staff in its behavioral unit. “At La Red, we treat the whole person,” said John Russum, director of La Red’s Behavioral Health Unit. “The personal connections made through getting a haircut is meaningful. It builds a bridge for individuals experiencing homelessness so they feel comfortable receiving healthcare services, which can make a huge difference in their overall health and well-being.” La Red offers haircuts at the Springboard Village in the fall and the spring. To learn more about La Red and the work it does with individuals experienc-
ing homelessness, visit www.LaRedHealthCenter.org. Springboard Village offers individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness dignified cabins and engagement as a stepping-stone to long-lasting housing. The village opened in Georgetown in 2023. La Red Health, a federally qualified health center in Sussex County, Del, has provided quality healthcare for individuals and families since 2001. La Red offers primary healthcare, pediatrics, women’s health services and mental health services at its three locations in Milford, Seaford and Georgetown. La Red also offers dental services at its Milford and Georgetown locations. For more information about La Red Health Center, visit www.laredhealthcenter.org/.

Lord Baltimore Lions sponsor drug-awareness, -prevention effort The Lord Baltimore Lions Club supports drug-awareness and -prevention education in public schools. Studies indicate that 80 percent of learning achieved is through vision, and posters with drug-awareness messages are a good way to reach students in school, representatives said. In September, the Lord Baltimore Lions Club presented a $200 donation to Vice Principal Barkley Heck at Lord Baltimore Elementary School and Principal Jason Macrides of Selbyville Middle School to be used to purchase drug-awareness posters of their choosing for their schools. The school personnel identified commercial sources for professional drug-awareness posters suitable for their students and used the Lions Club donation to pay for them. Both schools have purchased posters that they deemed appropriate and have them hanging in their schools. The posters that Lord Baltimore purchased says, “Pledge to be drug-free.” What does such a pledge sound like? The Drug Enforcement Agency provides drug-awareness training to school children and their pledge reads, “I pledge to keep my dreams alive and be all that I can be. I pledge

nity?” Lions Club representatives suggested. At the Selbyville Middle School, their poster messages say, “Drugs destroy dreams. Say no to drugs.” Another poster says, “Drugs destroy
dreams. Think before you choose to be a dream killer.” The posters are displayed next to the two 7-foot vaping epidemic and vaping marijuana posters that were paid for by Attack Addiction a few years ago.

Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program benefits expiring The Delaware Department of Agriculture (DDA) is reminding senior Delawareans who registered to participate in the Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program to visit local farmers’ markets and on-farm markets to use their benefits before they expire on Oct. 31. Beginning in June, eligible participants signed up for the Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) at their local senior centers. With a new system in place, participants received their SFMNP benefits card pre-loaded with $50 to purchase fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs and honey at local farmers’ markets and on-farm markets. According to DDA Marketing Specialist Kathy Jackson, “Our registration for these benefits was extremely successful in late May and early June. However, we know nearly 400 of our senior participants have not used their benefits yet. With only six weeks left in the program, we don’t want these benefits to go

Meoli Companies awards $10K in scholarships to McDonald’s employees The Meoli Companies — which is headquartered in Rehoboth Beach, and owns and operates 25 McDonald’s restaurants across the Delmarva Peninsula — has awarded a total of $10,000 in scholarships to five employees who recently graduated from local high schools. The funds are being awarded as a part of Meoli Companies annual scholarship program that supports hardworking employees who are headed to college. Recipients of the awards include: • Jonathan Brittingham of Selbyville, attending the University of Delaware; • Henry Grote of Selbyville, attending Liberty University, in Lynchburg, Va.; • McKenzie Tubbs of Millsboro, attending the University of Delaware; • Faith Johnson of Denton, Md., attending Penn State University; and • Monique Payne of Dover, attending Delaware State University. The scholarship application asked students questions that focused on the employee’s overall story, their presence in the community, challenges they have overcome and plans for their education. “While we respect the importance of a student’s GPA as a demonstration of their commitment to learning, we consider many more attributes to ensure we have a wellrounded picture of the individuals we consider for a scholarship,” said Michael A. Meoli, owner and operator of the Meoli Family McDonald’s Restaurants. “The response was overwhelming and speaks to the incredible stories these graduates have to share. “For nearly 30 years, we’ve been committed to delivering a gold standard experience for our McDonald’s customers each and every time they visit our restaurants, and that starts by hiring outstanding people. Often, we are the first job for many of our high-school employees. Nothing pleases us more than to see them go on to future success and to support that journey.” Recipients were selected based on their demonstrated leadership, participation in local community activities, work experience, experience in overcoming challenges, and who and what has inspired them. According to the company, Brittingham really found his footing during his senior year, when he was cast as the lead in Sussex Central High School’s production of “Misery.” He was also influenced by being class president, serving on the student government, and speaking during the commencement ceremony. He worked at the Fenwick Bayside McDonald’s location for the last

He plans to become a therapist and specialize in family counseling.
Grote, they said, was active in clubs and the honors counsel, performed in school plays and served as a tutor at Delmarva Christian. However, he found his true passion in volunteer work —which included
working in an inner-city Baltimore homeless shelter, where he helped with renovations, served food, helped source donations and helped to minister to the homeless. He had worked in the Selbyville and Fenwick Bayside McDonald’s locations since he was 14 and is now attending Liberty University, where he is studying software engineering. He plans to be an app developer. Tubbs was an active member of the Indian River High School lacrosse team and Leo Club. She said she also enjoyed working with the Tim Tebow project Night to Shine, which helps students with special needs have a prom-night experience. A team member of the Millsboro McDonald’s since she was 14, she is now attending the University of Delaware, where she is studying occupational therapy. She would like to work with children with special needs as an occupational therapist, she said. “It’s not just about the food we serve or the restaurants we serve it in,” said Meoli. “It’s about the communities in which our restaurants operate. Each of our communities is unique, and we strive to find ways we can make the greatest impact in every one of them.”

Melvin W. Lewis On Sept. 26, 2023, a beloved father and longtime resident of the Ocean View, Del., area, Mel Lewis, passed after a long fight against illness.

Jean Ann ‘Jeanie’ Sullivan, 80 Jean Ann “Jeanie” Sullivan, 80, residing in The Villages, Fla., passed away on Sunday morning, Sept. 24, 2023, at Generations Senior Living, after a long 20-year battle with Parkinson’s disease, with her family surrounding her in love. She was born on March 11, 1943, grew up in Johnstown, Pa., and graduated from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania. It was at IUP that she met, and soon married, her love and lifelong friend, Thomas Sullivan. They went on to have two devoted children, Dennis and Maureen. Sullivan and her family spent 35 years in Reisterstown, Md., where she enjoyed being a teacher for grades 4, 5 and 6. While teaching, she attended Western Maryland College, obtaining her master’s degree in special education. Tom and Jeanie Sullivan retired to Bethany Beach, Del., where their entrepreneurial spirit inspired them to open two Good Feet Stores in Delaware. After that venture, their adventurous spirit inspired them to tour the U.S. on the road in an RV over a three-year period, being home for only three months. Upon their second “official” retirement, they settled in The Villages. She enjoyed a full life, blessed with many activities with family and friends. She was an avid tennis player, was an intense bridge player amongst other card games, took lessons in country dancing and windsurfing, and enjoyed relaxing at the beach, especially at annual family reunions. While in The Villages, she was active in the Parkinson’s Fight Club and enjoyed playing bocci with
friends, even from her wheelchair. She also took up painting in her later years. Upon passing, Sullivan joined her parents, Wilfred and Emma Jean Boxler, in her new celestial home in heaven. She is survived by her loving and devoted husband, Tom Sullivan; and children Dennis Sullivan, married to Natasha, and Maureen Eckman, married to Dan. She has five grandchildren, Colin, Conrad, Luke, Aidan and Nathan; and a greatgrandchild, Porter. She is also survived by her sister and best friend, Susan, married to Tom Siefert, of Peachtree City, Ga. She and Sue would talk almost nightly, especially over the last three years. She is also survived by her sister Kathy, married to Mac Kroehl, of Green Valley, Ariz. A special funeral service will be held at St Vincent de Paul Catholic Church, where Jeanie and Tom are members, on Saturday, Sept 30, 2023, after the 6 p.m. Mass. The family is having a celebration-of-life commemorative reunion at Bethany Beach in November, for family and friends. In lieu of flowers, the family suggested a donation to the Parkin-

SUNDAY NFL Football (11) WBAL 8:15 p.m. The Miami Dolphins is an offensive powerhouse with QB Tua Tagovailoa. But when they pull into Lincoln Financial Field to take on the Philadelphia Eagles, they’ll need all of their tricks to beat the Eagles’ defense, which is a veritable brick wall.

Indian River’s Jeremiah Dennis gets tripped up by Caesar Rodney’s #5 Jacoby Sheaffer while chasing for control of the ball last week.
IR boys’ soccer continues quest for DIAA playoff berth By Mike Stern Staff Reporter They continue to battle. And they are playing much better since their recent losses to Henlopen Conference rival Caesar Rodney and Southern Division foe Sussex Academy. The Indian River High School boys’ soccer team showed considerable improvement in recent competition, including a 2-2 tie at conference foe Sussex Central on Tuesday, Oct. 10, and a 4-0 victory at division rival Woodbridge on Thursday, Oct. 12. “The key is consistency, to play well for the entire game,” head coach Brandt Mais noted. “Sussex Central is a very good team, and we battled well against
them for the majority of the game. At Woodbridge, we played to our potential.” In the matchup with Woodbridge, junior goalkeeper Kai Kelley made three saves to record his fourth shutout of the season and 13th of his IRHS career. The standout shot-stopper also contributed offensively by earning his first career assist late in the second half. Kelley punted the ball to midfield, where Indians’ senior forward Jeremiah Dennis caught up to the sphere. He raced toward the Woodbridge goal on a breakaway before beating the rival goalkeeper for his first career goal as the Indians improved to 3-1-0 in Southern Division competition.
Junior forward Deny Cruz-Bonilla gave the Indians a 2-0 halftime lead with his fifth and sixth goals in a fourminute span late in the first half. Junior forward Leo Chester, who assisted on Cruz-Bonilla’s first goal, added his fifth of the season early in the second half to extend IR’s lead to 3-0. “We can still earn a playoff berth without winning the division,” Mais said. “We need to rank in the top 12 of the Division II standings to qualify for the tournament. There are still a lot of games to be played.”
Allowing another late goal One of those games resulted in a tough loss created by allowing a late
goal. For the fourth time in its last six games, Indian River allowed a tying or winning marker in the final 10 minutes of regulation. As a result, conference rival Cape Henlopen defeated visiting IR, 2-1, in overtime on Tuesday, Oct. 17. Vikings’ senior Donovan Sandoval scored the equalizer with six minutes remaining in regulation, and senior teammate Collin Sivels sent the Indians to defeat with a goal at the 92-minute mark. Junior forward Dominic Delaney had given IR a 1-0 lead with his second goal of the season, early in the second half. The verdict left Indian River at 53-2 overall and 3-3-1 in conference play.

Local triathletes successfully compete in Cozumel Half Ironman race By Mike Stern Staff Reporter The conditions in Cozumel were less than accommodating. Temperatures hovered in the mid90s with brutal, energy-sapping 85 percent humidity. It felt like the low 100s during the 13.1-mile running portion of the 70.3-mile Half Ironman competition on Sunday, Sept. 24. In addition, the Caribbean Sea became choppy toward the conclusion of the 1.2-mile swim. The athletes also had to contend with a challenging east-coast wind during part of the 56-mile bicycling race. Despite these challenges, all seven members of Team Bethany Swim Bike Run competed impressively in Cozumel, Mexico, an island located off the eastern coast of the Yucatán Peninsula.

Triathletes Continued from page 66 composed of local triathletes Sarah Gordon, Jimmy Keister, Gerene Behrens, Russell Littleton, Lisa Wynn, and Jo and Norm Scherer, who range in age from their 50s to their 70s. The team’s members train together and live locally, in Ocean View, Frankford and Fenwick Island. Competing against more than 2,000 other triathletes, Team Bethany Swim Bike Run members’ finishing times ranged from 6 hours, 9 minutes to 8 hours, 28 minutes. After each of them swam, biked and ran so impressively, they had compelling stories to share.
Jimmy Keister (6:09.20) Jimmy Keister had his doubts about finishing the running event. “The heat was so oppressive that all I could think about was whether I could complete the race,” recalled Keister, who posted the team’s best overall time. “My head felt like it was about to explode. I pushed on, thinking to myself that ‘You can do this — take your time, you’ve done the training so dig inside yourself.’ I look forward to competing in an Ironman competition in North Carolina this May.”
Gerene Behrens (7:28.10) Gerene Behrens never backs down from a challenge. She did her best to acclimate to the hot, humid environment. “The running event was the most challenging part of the competition, due to the brutal heat and humidity,” said Behrens. “It felt like more than 100 degrees, with high humidity, and it was the hardest run or walk I have ever done in my life. Some of the spectators sprayed us down with water, some sponged cold water over our heads, and most of them cheered us to the finish line. On race day, I felt I was ready but still was very nervous. “During the swim, I noticed that the water felt like an aquarium, because I was able to see all the fish and sea life,” Behrens added. “The best part of the entire experience were the friendships we nurtured and the bonds we shared from it. I look forward to returning to this event next year.”
Lisa Wynn (7:53.17) Lisa Wynn is no stranger to Cozumel. “I try to visit Cozumel twice a year to go diving,” she said. “The swim was great, the bike got windy during the second half, and the run was very hot. I was pretty sure that I could make the cutoff time if I just kept moving forward. So that’s what I concentrated on.
67
I’d like to do another Half Ironman, because this was an amazing experience.”
Sarah Gordon (8:02.21) Team organizer Sarah Gordon learned some valuable lessons from this competition. “I realized that I spent too much time during the bike event pausing at each of the nine water-aid stops,” said Gordon. “That probably added about 35 minutes to my total time. This is something I will definitely work on for the next race. And I’ll consider it a lesson learned from my first Ironman competition. I also learned that I spent too much time — 20 minutes — during the transitions. I have to be more efficient in the transitions during swim-to-bike and the bike-to-run events.” Gordon said competing in the Half Ironman was a life-changing experience. “Honestly, it was so much more than a race,” she said. “It was about friendship, community, love, support and comradeship. Being a part of Team Bethany Swim Bike Run is deeply important to me. I dreamed of competing in an Ironman-branded event since I was an adolescent. I will cherish the memories and am looking forward to competing in the next one.”
Jo Scherer (8:28) Jo Scherer managed to maintain her goal pace for the swim and bike events. “The heat was so oppressive that my run was slower than my goal,” she said. “Then my watch died at Mile 9 on the last leg, so I didn’t know how fast I was going. But I was psyched to see my friends on the double out-and-back run course. That kept me going! “As I was bringing up the rear during the run, I saw many people overcome with heat,” she added. “People were lying on the median with volunteers fanning them as they waited for an ambulance. Hundreds of people stopped and dipped their arms and splashed their faces in the ice buckets at the water stops. They quickly hydrated and refueled, but the heat was so oppressive. I look forward to competing in this type of event again, as long as I never see another bottle of yellow Gatorade!”
Joe Cusumano (spouse of triathlete Sarah Gordon) For Joe Cusumano, this was also a life-changing experience. The supportive spouse of triathlete Sarah Gordon became the team’s de facto photographer. “The most beautiful thing was to capture all the vivid photos of my wife and each of her teammates through race day,” he said. “The beauty of the island was magnificent! Team Bethany Swim Bike Run is an inspiring group of lovely people!”

Pickleball Points: Pickleball injuries and saved lives By Vaughn Baker Special to the Coastal Point Last month, USBankCorp came out with alarming statis-
tics about how many more pickleball injuries there now are. Quite a few non-pickleballers were very quick to ring the alarms, speaking before
thinking. The country boy in me wants to ask them this question: “Since there are now more than ten times more pickleballers, should there not
be more injuries?” There have always been some pickleball injuries — especially in those very first few lessons, when brains tells 60-
year-old people they are still 30. In fact, at my beginner clinics, I intentionally place trusted pickleballers to watch for, and catch, any over energetic beginners about to topple over. But even then, an ex-Ohio State running back got away from me and rolled over the shrubbery before I caught him about to roll onto Rehoboth Avenue. When we started to play pickleball in Ocean View, we were so concerned about beginner pickleball injuries that pickleball physical therapist extraordinaire Bob Cairo gave several free public clinics about the best warm-up exercises for pickleball. Rick Bell, a top pickleball instructor, likes to point out the obvious: “Do you want a turned ankle that might take six weeks to heal, or a lifelong threatening disease from physical inactivity? Folks sitting on a couch watching TV and eating potato chips and ice cream rarely turn their ankles, but their unseen internal injuries can be much more serious.” USB claimed there might be $377 million in medical costs associated with these pickleball injuries. Compare that to these statistics: U.S. cancer costs are estimated at more than $158 billion, and heart-associated costs are estimated at more than $216 billion — so $377 million (a tenth of a percent of total heart and cancer costs) seems like a pretty smart investment toward helping lower those other two monsters. Let me whittle it down: That alarming $377 million is roughly $10 per pickleballer! That’s right — last year, there were an estimated 36.5 million pickleballers (some say 50 million), now competing in one of our nation’s most popular participation sports. So it is logical that medical costs should be rising, but 10 bucks per year per person toward better health confirms it is a good investment, especially if it reduced cancer and heart costs by just 1 percent — a $100 return on your investment. Pickleball saved my life, because the aerobic exercise caused my heart to reroute blood through my heart. Multiple others have told me they were grateful to pickleball as well. I’m about to tell you about two unknown people who are See PICKLEBALL page 74

IR football hit hard by Brandywine’s big plays in 1A, D2 loss By Mike Stern Staff Reporter For all intents and purposes, the playoffs have begun for the Indian River High School football team. That’s what happens when a team cannot afford to lose another regular-season contest. In a game they sorely needed to win, the Indians dropped a hardfought 38-28 Class 1A, District 2 verdict to visiting Brandywine last Friday night, October 13. As a result, Indian River fell to 12 in district play and into a tie with 1-2 Conrad (2-4 overall). They trail Brandywine (3-0 district, 4-2 overall), Polytech (2-1, 5-1), First State Military Academy (2-2, 4-3), St. Andrew’s (2-2, 2-4) and Seaford (2-2, 3-3) in district play. Below them is winless Early College at DSU (0-3, 1-4), which will be IR’s next opponent this Friday. Only the top two District 2 teams — and potentially one or two wildcard squads, based on a points index achieved by victories — will reach the postseason. As a result, the Indians will have to run the table and win each of their last four games — See FOOTBALL page 71

Indian River running back Davon Handy takes off for a 40-yard touchdown run, zipping by Brandywine’s Kameron Campbell on Friday, Oct. 13.
October 20, 2023
Football Continued from page 70 two at home and two upon the unforgiving gridirons of northern Delaware. “In our first six games, we faced some tough teams,” said Indian River head football coach Phil Townsend after the Indians’ third straight setback. “Five or all six of those teams will make the playoffs in their respective divisions. We have to continue to work hard and focus on ourselves. Playoff positions right now are up for grabs, and we need to improve each week.” The Indians fell behind early against a high-powered Bulldogs offense that has put up at least 33 points in each of its last four games. Sophomore kicker Ian Cleghorn’s 27-yard field goal late in the first quarter gave Brandywine a lead it never relinquished. After junior quarterback Crisdon Wright capped a long drive with a 3yard scoring run to make it 10-0 early in the second stanza, IR sophomore running back Davon Handy energized the capacity Cancer Awareness Night crowd with an electrifying 40-yard touchdown run that cut the Indians’ deficit to 10-7. But Brandywine proceeded to capitalize on their rivals’ mistakes to score a pair of touchdowns in less than a minute just before halftime. Wright scored his second TD on a 2yard quarterback sneak to make it 17-7. After the Bulldogs recovered an Indians’ fumble, Wright connected with sophomore wide receiver Kahseer Williams on an 18-yard scoring hookup to give Brandywine a 24-7 intermission lead. “We had them on several thirddown-and-long and fourth-downand-short yardage situations, and yet they capitalized,” said Townsend. “Our defense has to be better in those situations. We did a good job against the run but struggled at times against their passing game.” Following the Bulldogs’ third TD, IR senior Rashad Hopkins appeared to bring the Indians back to within 10 points. However, his brilliant 70yard kickoff return for a touchdown, which would potentially have brought the score to 24-14, was erased by a penalty. “Rashad is a very explosive player, and he’s fun to watch each week,” said Townsend. “We had a younger player make a silly mistake. We will work on cleaning up the penalties and turnovers as we prepare for the remainder of our season.” Indian River sophomore running back/wide receiver Darnell Stokes brought the Indians closer in the third quarter with an 18-yard TD run, to make it 24-17. But Brandy-
Coastal Point wine’s Williams answered with his second TD of the night, on an 18yard run that restored the Bulldogs’ 17-point lead, 31-17, heading into the fourth quarter. The Indians never quit, however. Stokes added two fourth-quarter TDs on a 12-yard run, to make it 3121, as well as a 50-yard reception from sophomore quarterback Dylan Grise in the waning minutes. In between those two explosive scoring plays, however, the Indians were undercut by an 88-yard touchdown pass from Wright to Williams that made it 38-21 and clinched the Bulldogs’ victory. “We came out flat in the first half and made several mistakes,” said Townsend. “Brandywine took advantage. The second half, we played our game and had a bunch of success. We have several guys with a ton of heart. They fought hard for four quarters.
“Brandywine’s playmakers made some explosive plays,” he added. “We did a good job stopping their quarterback in the run game. But in the passing game they had a good night.” Brandywine QB Wright finished with 64 rushing yards on 10 carries with a pair of tallies, and connected with Williams exclusively on 6 of 12 pass attempts, for 231 yards and two TDs. Senior running back Kameron Campbell rushed for 84 yards on 18 carries in a strong supporting role. For the Indians, junior running back Jayvion Chandler rushed for 140 yards on 23 touches, while Handy added 92 yards on 10 carries. Stokes chipped in with 56 yards on 10 carries, while Hopkins tacked on 35 rushing yards on 12 carries. Quarterback Grise completed 7 of his 10 passing attempts for 53 yards and a 6-pointer. Defensively, senior Collin King
71 led the Indians with seven tackles, while senior Bryce Johnson added six stops. Stokes, sophomore Luis Hicks and senior Nick Butts added five tackles each. Hopkins also recovered a Bulldogs’ fumble. For Brandywine, senior Matt Barton led all tacklers with 16 tackles, while sophomore Brennan Grundy added 10 stops.
Early College at DSU is next for Indians at Homecoming 2023 The Indians will host District 2 rival Early College at Delaware State University this Friday night, Oct. 20, as part of Homecoming. The opening kickoff is slated for 6 p.m. The Indians defeated visiting EC@DSU last season, 62-28, to clinch their second straight playoff berth.

After a strong start to the season that saw them win five of their first six, the Indian River High School field hockey team has been up-anddown in October, to the tune of two wins in their last six. The squad suffered two more losses this past week, to perennial power Cape Henlopen (3-0) and being edged out by Milford (3-2) in an overtime thriller on Senior Night at The Reservation. Against the Bucs, the Indians fell behind in the first quarter at the 6:39 mark on a score by Milford’s Bailey Masten with an assist from her sister Molly Masten. It was the first of two on the night for Bailey Masten, as she also scored the game-winner on a penalty stroke in overtime. Falling behind 1-0 in the first, IR responded with a pair of goals by Ella Peterson (Macy Blades assist) and Bailey Williamson (Reece Forrey helper) to take a 2-1 lead heading into the halftime break. Milford got the equalizer in the third period, when Madisyn Hitchens knocked home a goal at the 8:54 mark. Neither team was able to break the tie in the fourth, which forced the extra-time session. The Bucs held a 14-6 advantage on shots in the game, while also holding an edge in penalty corners, at 12-7. IR goalie Jazmin Mayfield was strong between the pipes, making 11 saves overall. Her counterpart from Milford, Madison Stahl, made just four stops. The Indians were set to travel to defending DIAA Division I state champion Smyrna on Thursday, Oct. 19, for what was expected to be tough road contest. The Eagles are undefeated on the season, having knocked off national powerhouse Delmar earlier this season to end the Wildcats’ 110-game win streak.

Millsboro officials discussing voting districts By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter The Millsboro Town Council at future meetings will continue to discuss adjusting the size of voting districts, to keep the population of each district closer to the same. Currently, District 3 — which in-
cludes the heavily populated and growing Plantation Lakes residential community — is the largest of Millsboro’s three voting districts and creates an imbalance, Mayor Jim Kells told the Coastal Point this week. Kells said the disparity concerns him, “So what I am looking at is getting something to equalize that.”
He said he wasn’t sure if the matter will be discussed at the next meeting, at 7 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 6, because the Town is waiting to see what actions the Delaware legislature is required to take before district boundaries can be changed. “I will continue to pursue it. How we would handle that is the Town would
still be divided into three districts, but the change would be the layout of those districts. We would change the size of District 3,” he said. Councilwoman Kimberley Kaan told the Coastal Point that district boundaries were established by the town charSee DISTRICTS page 3
Layfield responds to civil lawsuit By Mike Smith Staff Reporter Bradley Layfield — principal of Sussex Central High School until he was placed on adminsitrative leave in response to a May incident at the school — this week addressed the civil lawsuit brought against him in relation to the incident by 18year-old Aniya Harmon, who graduated from the school shortly thereafter. The suit charges Layfield Layfield with intentional infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy and conspiracy to show publication of private matters. The claim for civil damages is rooted in Layfield’s alleged sharing of video of Harmon’s breast, exposed during an altercation at the high school two weeks before graduation. An assistant principal later allegedly created a meme caricaSee LAYFIELD page 2

Millville could look to make a big ‘splash’ at park By Kerin Magill Staff Reporter Millville officials got their first look this week at plans for a potential “splash park” that could be added to the existing amenities at Evans Park. The idea for the splash park came
out of a survey sent to residents in May, according to Parks & Recreation Administrator Liz Kain-Bolen. Among amenities prioritized by the 138 respondents to the survey, the most popular addition was walking trails, followed by a splash park, Kain-Bolen said. A preliminary proposal was shown to
the town council and the Parks Commission at a special meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 17, by Katja Kalinski, a designer for the engineering firm George, Miles & Buhr. “As you know, the park is a very popular place in Millville, thank goodness,” said Mayor Ronald Belinko, as he ex-
plained that the Town is in the beginning stages of its five-year revision for its Comprehensive Plan, which is the Town’s blueprint for development. A full update of the plan is done every 10 See PARK page 4

cellphone-based recordings, the plaintiff ’s breast cannot be seen and thus no harm would have occurred. Layfield and his counsel stated that reviewing the videotape was done in accordance with school policy to discuss disciplinary matters. “Dr. Bradley Layfield defended himself in Superior Court today,” said Neuberger in Wilmington on Oct. 10. “He filed his answer to the civil lawsuit filed against him, and asked that the case be dismissed with costs and legal fees assessed against the plaintiff. “He states that unless the surveillance video is stopped and viewed in a frame-to-frame analysis, which was never done for any school employee who reviewed the fight that day in the interests of school safety or school discipline regarding plaintiff ’s participation in the fight, plaintiff ’s anatomy cannot be viewed,” said Neuberger on behalf of Layfield, “and was never seen by anyone that day.”
Continued from page 1 ture of Harmon, comparing the incident to the Super Bowl “wardrobe malfunction” involving singer Janet Jackson. Thomas S. Neuberger, counsel for Layfield, in responding to the civil suit filed in Superior Court, asserted this week that Harmon “exposed herself ” by lunging at another student and having her breast exposed when a female assistant principal tried to restrain her and Harmon’s blouse was pulled away. Layfield and his attorney said Harmon brought the exposure upon herself and caused her own harms by initiating a fight, though video evidence and other testimony indicate that a physical altercation never happened. The respondents claimed that, unless witnesses to the videotape were shown a frame-by-frame and second-by-second review of the surveillance tape and other
“His answer contends that plaintiff ’s own unclean hands, in starting a dangerous two-alarm school fight, are the proximate cause of any distress she alleges.”
Attorney reports death threats made against Layf ield Asked by the Coastal Point how this civil lawsuit was brought by Harmon and her lawyer, Philadelphia’s Emeke Igwe, managing partner of the Igwe Firm and a former district attorney, with evidence of conspiracy and emotional distress, Neuberger was confident in his defense. Neuberger has contended throughout the complaint that Layfield will clear his “good name.” “As far as rehabilitating his reputation from the false accusations, in an attempt to shake down the school district for money with a meritless case, my client is getting repeated death threats which are being reported to the police.
October 20, 2023 False lies and rumors do nothing but hurt their target and incite others to violence. I hope those directing death threats are caught and punished,” said Neuberger. Layfield said in a brief exchange with the Coastal Point that he has strong support from the community and his family. “He reiterates that [the] plaintiff initiated a dangerous fight and in the course of continuing the fight directly and proximately caused her [own] anatomy to be exposed briefly, which was the cause of any alleged injuries to her. The cause of her injuries was not the viewing of the surveillance video by staff with a need to know of the fight to preserve the safety of students entrusted to the care of the school.” “And, by initiating a dangerous fight in front of a school security camera, [the] plaintiff assumed the risk that her anatomy would become exposed and be recorded by the same school security camera and subsequently viewed by school employees charged with protecting the health and safety of the many other students in the hallway who were endangered by her actions,” Neuberger wrote.

Harmon, 18, was a senior at Sussex Central High School in Georgetown at the time of the incident. She was involved in an altercation at the school May 17, in which she claims she was approached and attacked by another student. A faculty member at the high school attempted to pull Harmon away from the scene, and Harmon’s shirt was pulled down, revealing her full right breast. The incident was captured by a surveillance camera and, according to the complaint, Layfield subsequently shared the video (without editing out or blurring Harmon’s breast) with other faculty members at the school. The complaint also contends that Sussex Central High School Assistant Principal Matthew Jones worked with Layfield to create a meme using a still shot of Harmon and her exposed breast. According to the complaint, Jones superimposed the face of singer Jackson over Harmon’s face. Jones then allegedly shared this meme with other faculty members. No evidence has been shown that Layfield shared the edited image. Harmon and her family were outraged to learn of these actions taken by both the principal and assistant principal, according to her civil complaint. Both Layfield and Jones have been placed on administrative leave while an investigation has been conducted by authorties including the Delaware State Police. Harmon and her family requested that a criminal investigation be opened into the incident. See LAYFIELD page 3

Districts Continued from page 1 ter in 1977. “What Millsboro has always done is anybody can vote for candidates in any district. It is all at-large voting,” she said. In Millsboro, two council members represent each district, and one serves at-large. “You have to live in a certain district to run for council, but as a resident, you can vote for anyone. That is how the county does it and how the school district does it. “I am not opposed to redistricting and figuring out, now that the town has
by a school constable and then restrained by two school staff, a custodian and assistant principal [Aerin] Donovan, a female, who held the plaintiff,” Neuberger said. Harmon, he said, “then broke free of Donovan to jump back aggressively and dangerously into the fight. Donovan grabbed her shirt, trying to hold onto her, and it pulled down, revealing one breast, for one to two seconds, for two to three steps, before [the] plaintiff covered it up, running again to attack [ the other student] to injure her, in the crowded school hallway. “Plaintiff and [the other student] got away from the potentially explosive incident. The white female junior was
taken to DSP Det. Cannon’s office, who was the SRO.” “School staff had issued two radio calls for help during the altercation. So this was thought to be a serious fight, and school fights are a major unpublicized problem in this and other public school districts throughout the State of Delaware, and they need to be controlled and prevented from escalating into serious injuries for any students,” Neuberger said in the defense’s response. “Unless the surveillance video is stopped and viewed in a frame-to-frame analysis, which was never done for any
grown, where the new boundaries should be, but I have a problem with district-only voting,” she said. Her concern, she said, is the majority of the council can take action on any issue and “impact our lives significantly — our property tax, our utility rate, my quality of life. For most things, we need a vote of four members of council to make a decision, so it upsets me, the prospect that, in the best-case scenario, I would only ever have a say in three of them, when four of them can really impact my life,” she said. She was referring to the fact that, with district-only voting, as a resident she would only be allowed to vote in the
election of the two council members in their own district, plus the at-large candidate, for a total of three. Kells agreed and said Kaan isn’t the only council member who dislikes that idea, so the council decided not to pursue it at this time. Kaan said district boundaries have remained unchanged since they were established 46 years ago “even though the town has grown considerably since then.” “The consensus at the meeting on Oct. 7 was to explore redistricting and a method and metric for how that is handled, and addressing in-district only voting after that process is completed,” Kaan said.

Park Continued from page 1 years, and it is now starting the process of the five-year revision. The survey was part of what the Town is calling a Master Concept Plan for the park. “We’re only talking about a concept,” Belinko said. “We know it’s going to be changed when everyone starts making comments and so on,” he said. “When you take a look at the survey, it had so many different things in there, and you couldn’t start putting things together without a plan in place,” Belinko said. Kain-Bolen said after the meeting that some other popular ideas for additions to the park included a dog park, sand volleyball courts, soccer fields, pickleball courts, horseshoe pitches, and spaces for flea markets and similar events. Kalinski presented a preliminary concept plan for a splash park, which she said took its inspiration from the town seal’s rendition of the Ethel Dukes schooner. She used a park being built in

Hilton Head Island, S.C., as an example of what a splash park built around the schooner theme might look like. “You’re not going to do this in one chunk,” Belinko said of the potential park improvements. “We’re talking basically a 10-year-plan, done in sections.” Town Engineer Andrew J. Lyons Jr. asked the council and the park commission to review the proposed park plans and submit comments to Town Manager Deborah Botchie within the next month. “We thought, taking your seal, we would give you a big pirate ship in the middle of the splash park,” Kalinski said. The ship would have fountains “shooting out of it. It has fountains around it. It is really the focal point of the park,” she said. “It’s not a little thing. It’s quite sizable,” Kalinski continued. Part of the plan for the park includes possibly closing part of Dukes Drive to traffic, with parking across the road from the park, allowing safer pedestrian access between the parking area and the park, she said. That would entail a process in which the Town would have
to receive permission from the state Department of Transportation. The southern end of Dukes, if shut down to traffic, could be used for more extensive food truck offerings for larger events, Kalinski said. Part of the splash park project would include a large, elevated pond that might be used for model boat races or similar activities, she said. There would be several auxiliary buildings, such as restrooms and/or changing rooms. The town council voted last week to move forward with bocce ball courts on the western part of the park property, near where the former Dukes family home was located before it was demolished during this past summer. The addition of “tree houses” to the complex could become a play structure for children, or could become miniature libraries, Kalinski said. She added that a permanent “holiday tree” could be located at the northern end of the park, near Route 26. A butterfly garden with an adjacent pergola could become a natural spot for wildlife presentations, Kalinski said.
The four planned bocce courts, which the council voted last week to seek state grant funding for, would be shaded by “sun sails” that repeat the ship motif, Kalinski said. “These images are just to give you an idea of what things can look like,” she said. To make the park specific to Millville, the ship theme could be added to walking surfaces and other parts of the park, she said. Lyons said it is far too early to estimate the cost of such a project, because, among other things, costs of materials and the choices of those materials would be a crucial factor in the overall cost. He did say, however, that the project could easily cost between $10 million and $20 million. “This is a huge project,” Town Manager Deborah Botchie said. “This is your first presentation,” she told the council members and parks commission members present. Of the preliminary plan, Botchie said, “We had to start with something, instead of a blank
plaintiff ’s anatomy cannot be viewed.” “Around 9:45 a.m., DSP Trooper Hudson, who originally was on site for a criminal investigation, was reviewing the origins of the fight, and he was shown the footage also, to assist in his law enforcement investigation. His need
to see it is self-evident. He is law enforcement on the scene of the fight.” “Around 12:30 p.m.,” Neuberger said, “three other staff members, including an interventionist dealing with discipline and a teacher along a hallway near the fight, asked to see the fight and were shown it, for the same reason stated above, to keep them informed and [the high school] safe [from] school dangers and dangerous individuals.” “Last, around 3:45 p.m. Dr. Renee Jerns of the central office and assistant principal Donovan asked to see and were shown the footage. Jerns was onsite for a discipline proceeding and was assisted by Donovan that day.” Concluding Layfield’s response to the civil charges in the suit, Neuberger said, the charges were, “denied, except
to admit that, unless the surveillance video is stopped and viewed in a frameto-frame analysis — which was never done for any school employee who reviewed the fight that morning in the interests of school safety or school discipline regarding plaintiff ’s participation in the fight — [the] plaintiff ’s anatomy cannot be viewed, wherefore the claim should be dismissed with costs and attorney’s fees assessed against [the] plaintiff.” The Igwe Firm, which is representing Harmon in the suit, was contacted by the Coastal Point on several occasions, asking for a response to the Layfield’s answer and the statement by Neuberger. No response had been received as of Coastal Point press time this week.

DOE approves hydrogen hub for Delaware What lies beneath Coastal Point
October 20, 2023
By Mike Smith Staff Reporter
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) this week selected the MidAtlantic Clean Hydrogen Hub (MACH2) — a public-private partnership between Delaware, Southeastern Pennsylvania and Southern New Jersey — as one of seven regional clean hydrogen hubs. Funding was provided by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s $8 billion hydrogen hub program. MACH2 is touted to advance the Biden Administration’s goal of a 100 percent clean electrical grid by 2035 and net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, strengthen the nation’s energy security, and create an estimated 20,000 good-paying clean energy jobs, including union jobs. “The green light of the Mid-Atlantic Clean Hydrogen Hub is wonderful news for the future of Delaware, our nation, and our planet,” said U.S. Sen.

Although there was no public comment taken at the Oct. 17 meeting, Botchie said she wants the public to

good-paying jobs in Delaware and across our country. “As a Senate co-author of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, I’m so proud to see the Department of Energy acknowledge that our region has the first-class labor workforce, strong industrial presence, and existing infrastructure necessary to support clean hydrogen production. MACH2 will allow Delaware to cement our status as a clean energy leader and help advance our nation’s climate goals.”
Mid-Atlantic DEIJ focus Representatives of the National Wildlife Federation recently joined Carper, EPA Mid-Atlantic Administrator Adam Ortiz, University of Maryland professor Sacoby Wilson and others to formally launch an effort to help communities in the District of Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and Delaware better access federal funds to address environmental and energy injustices. The event, held at Trinity Baptist Church in the nation’s capital last weigh in on plans for the park in the future. If plans for the splash park move forward, Lyons said the project will be brought before the Town Council for approval in phases. “This is a master plan; each phase gets individual approval,” he said. Park Commission Member Pat Plocek said that, as the plans for the park progress, town officials need to be mindful of the possibility that the Town could need part of the 16 acres of park land for other uses, including a possible public safety building.

History buffs may note that Nov. 11, 1918, is a date that holds major significance in the life of the United States. On that date, an armistice was signed that ended the first World War. What some might not know is that three days before that — on Nov. 8, 1918 — one Harlon Talley was born in Pennsylvania. Talley, a resident of Selbyville, will soon celebrate his 105th birthday. Many area residents, as well as regular visitors from a few decades ago, undoubtedly know Talley from the years he and his wife, Mary, owned the Sea View Beach Shoppes — first in Fenwick Island, then in Selbyville and Ocean City, Md., as well. The building where the Fenwick Island store was located is now occupied by One Coastal restaurant. The Selbyville shop was known as the Sea View Town Shoppe. On a recent afternoon, he hosted his friends Janice and Tom Bunting, as well as this reporter, for a chat about his astoundingly long life. Talley sat in his favorite chair, at one point excusing himself to the kitchen, where he gathered a plate of cookies for his guests, balancing them deftly as he returned to his cozy living room with the use of a walker. When one visitor recalled shopping at his Fenwick Island store just shy of 50 years ago, he said, with a twinkle in his eye, “That’s where I know you from.”

Talley Continued from page 6 Talley was born in Drexel Hill, Pa., one of eight children. He moved to Sussex County in 1947, he said, on the advice of his friend Herb Jenkins. In search of “something to do” after his rounds as a milkman, he said, he learned electric work and plumbing. He met and married Mary, and they opened a store on Bunting Avenue, where the Ric-Mar hotel building stands today. After an incident where the building filled with smoke, Talley decided to build a store on Coastal Highway. “I decided that’s where we should be,” he said. “I said, ‘We’ll build a store and put an apartment in the back,’” he said. “And we just kept going from there.” They would later purchase the property where the Catch 54 restaurant is now located, which was then owned by Selbyville Manufacturing, and built a house there. At one point, the area postmaster asked Mary if she would take messages for him in the Fenwick store. “She said, ‘Yeah,” Talley recalled. “And by and by, he came back and said, ‘What you people need down there is a post office.” That led to the addition of a small post office, which operated in the rear of the store for many years. Although the Fenwick Island store
Yoga
operated as a seasonal business, Talley said an abundance of stock, thanks to an overly enthusiastic salesman, brought them to the decision to open a yearround store in Selbyville. The store was in a former real estate office connected to the old movie theater in town, he said. Later, the Selbyville store relocated to a former hardware store, Talley said. Then, the third store for the Talleys was on 64th Street in Ocean City, he said. During the years the Talleys operated the post office in the Fenwick store, he said, “We did everything. You could have your mail delivered there, and come and pick it up. We were a regular post office.” When the store closed for the season, the post office in Selbyville handled Fenwick mail, he said. “We were the very first store, from the Carousel all the way to Bethany Beach,” Talley said. “Now look at them,” he said of commercial development in the area. “They’re up to Williamsville and everywhere.” For many years, Talley said, his store was the only nearby place where visitors and locals could buy clothing and other essentials. “Toys, drugs, umbrellas, your outdoor stuff, rafts and chairs — all of that stuff. You name it, we had it — shoes, men’s, women’s and children’s clothing. The main thing was women’s clothing. Women can’t help but buy stuff,” he said with a chuckle.

grade, when I was in grammar school,” beginning with a paper route in his Drexel Hill neighborhood. “Man, I’ll tell ya — the hours I put in,” he said of his career as a shop proprietor with Mary. “But I enjoyed it.” He married Mary, he said, while he was serving in the Merchant Marines. He was sailing on tanker ships up and down the East Coast, and they decided to get married while he was ashore in Jacksonville, Fla. They met, he said, when she was visiting his friend Herb Jenkins’ wife with some other friends. “My life would be a whole lot better if Mary was still living,” he said. “She was my love.” Mary Talley passed away in 2009 at the age of 100. Their home is filled with antiques she collected throughout her life, including an extensive assortment of oyster plates adorning the dining room walls. “I liked to play golf, and she liked antiquing,” he said. Some of those treasures made their way to the store to be sold. Although he no longer plays golf, Talley said he enjoys visits with friends including the Buntings, and reading — particularly books of a spiritual nature. These days, he’s looking forward to his 105th birthday party, planned for early November. “I’ve been very lucky,” he said.

Taking a serious tone, Talley continued, “We were lucky. We had very, very, very good help.” “Everybody knew ’em,” interjected Talley’s friend Tom Bunting, who came to know the couple when his mother worked for them when he was a boy “and my dad played golf with him a lot.” Talley has been a member of the Ocean City Yacht Club since the early 1960s and remains the oldest member of the club. “Now, I’m a lifetime member,” he said. “I don’t have to pay any dues or nothing.” In addition to golfing, Talley said he also enjoyed working in his yard, maintaining gardens that Bunting said were “beautiful.” When Talley began reminiscing about all the remodeling work he did at the stores, Bunting said he remembered Talley taking countless trips between the stores to transfer inventory from one to the other. “He hauled clothes in a station wagon,” Bunting said. “With two poodles,” he said, “He’d go down 54 loaded down.” “He worked all his life,” Bunting continued. “Mary was the salesperson,” while Harlon Talley handled things behind the scenes. “They were businesspeople. ‘Peanut butter and jelly,’ I called them. They were a good pair,” Bunting said. Talley said he’s worked “since fourth

Assailant convicted in Cpl. Heacook’s murder Prosecutors have convicted a Delmar man for the murder of Delmar Police Department Cpl. Keith Heacook in April 2021. Randon Wilkerson, 32, will serve the rest of his life in prison following a stipulated non-jury trial in which he was convicted of 16 charges, including two counts of Murder 1st Degree and 11 other felonies. “Cpl. Keith Heacook served his department and his community honorably and faithfully for more than two decades,” said Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings on Monday, Oct. 16, in announcing the conviction. “He was stolen from us far too soon. We lost
that day a father, a husband, a brother, a son, a public servant and a protector. “In the days following his murder, and the vicious assault on two elderly victims, we committed that the defendant would be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law,” she said. “Today, thanks to the tireless work of our prosecutors and law enforcement, that promise can be fulfilled. Cpl. Heacook’s family, his brothers and sisters in Delmar PD, and the entire community of Delmar are in our hearts today.” On the morning of April 25, 2021, Heacook, a 22-year Delmar Police Department veteran, responded to a 911
call for a domestic incident. “Upon arrival to the residence, Heacook was viciously attacked by Wilkerson and was later found unconscious, having suffered multiple blows to the head,” the AG’s Office said. “He died of his injuries later that week, leaving behind his wife, four children, and a devastated community.” Wilkerson was later arrested and charged with Heacook’s murder, in addition to the severe assault of the two elderly victims that morning. Prosecutors convicted Wilkerson on Monday on two counts of Murder 1st Degree, five counts of Possession of a
Deadly Weapon During the Commission of a Felony, three counts of Possession of a Deadly Weapon by a Person Prohibited, two counts of Assault 1st Degree, Burglary 1st Degree, Assault 3rd Degree, Terroristic Threatening and Offensive Touching. Wilkerson’s conviction was secured by Deputy Attorneys General David Hume, Amanda Nyma, and John Donahue, with support from Lead Victim Service Specialist Deirdre Hudson and Paralegal Kristan Hudson, following an investigation led by Det. Mark K. Csapo of the Delaware State Police Homicide Unit.
Hydrogen
advancing hydrogen hubs nationwide is misplaced, ill-advised and will have devastating consequences for our environment, for the safety of future
generations, and is a misuse of government dollars that should be helping to advance the clean-energy revolution we need, rather hydrogen
boondoggles that perpetuate dirty fossil fuels and dangerous nuclear operations,” said Maya van Rossum, the Delaware Riverkeeper.
Continued from page 5 Davis, deputy director of the Choose Clean Water Coalition at the National Wildlife Federation. “The Choose Clean Water Coalition and our network of more than 290 nonprofit organizations in the Chesapeake Bay region is excited to partner with the National Wildlife Federation and others to provide critical resources that cultivate healthy communities and restored rivers and streams,” said Davis. “We are fully committed to alleviating barriers facing environmental justice communities.” The MACH2 project will produce, distribute, and use clean hydrogen to power hydrogen vehicles, fuel airplanes and support industries, noted officials in Carper’s office. The Delaware hub was chosen largely due to the highly trained, unionized workforce in Delaware and the surrounding area, as well as the region’s strong manufacturing, chemical and bioscience presence, and existing infrastructure capable of transporting and storing hydrogen.
Hub sees opposition from Riverkeeper The Delaware Riverkeeper Network immediately protested the allocation of federal funding for “hydrogen hubs,” which was announced in Philadelphia by President Joe Biden. “The $7 billion allocated under the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Act of 2021 throws taxpayer money at a false solution to the climate crisis by stimulating dirty energy development that will increase greenhouse gas emissions and pollution and degrade air and water quality despite claims that hydrogen is clean and an alternative to fossil fuels,” stated representatives of the Riverkeeper Network. “What’s worse for the Delaware River region is the $750 million earmarked for the Mach 2 Hydrogen Hub here in the Delaware River Watershed.” “President Biden’s commitment to

Delaware State Police arrested a 52year-old Frankford woman this week on a charge of felony theft involving a local Girl Scout troop. According to the DSP, on Jan. 31, around 3:14 p.m. the DSP Financial Crimes Unit met with local Girl Scout Troop representatives regarding an alleged theft. Kelly M. Raab of Frankford Kelly Raab was identified as the former treasurer of the troop. Following a 10-month investigation, troopers discovered that Raab had allegedly issued and cashed fraudulent checks, in addition to allegedly making unauthorized payment card transactions during her time as treasurer with the Girl Scouts, from January 2018 to November 2022. The total loss amounted to more than $12,000. On Oct. 12, Rabb turned herself in to DSP Troop 4, where she was charged with Theft over $1500 (a felony). Raab was released on her own recognizance.
South Bethany council members recruiting next member By Mike Smith Staff Reporter The Town of South Bethany is actively recruiting a new member of its town council, with letter-of-interest applications now being accepted. Residents have a 30-day window to submit their self-nomination letters to the town hall, until Monday, Nov. 13. The vacancy was created by the departure of Derek Abbott from the council. Council members will review the applications and appoint a new member, according to public notices and town officials, with the selected candidate to begin service in early 2024. Tim Saxton opened the South Bethany Town Council meeting on Friday, Oct. 13, by teasing, “We are making progress here. It used to take us three years to come full circle as a council, but now it only takes us about three meetings.” He was referencing several council matters in which the South Bethany government has come back full circle to its original thinking. Saxton also reminded the council members that it will now take four votes (of the six remaining council members) to pass motions. See COUNCIL page 12

Delaware joins $10 million settlement with ACI Worldwide Attorney General Kathy Jennings joined a multistate coalition of attorneys general this week in announcing a $10 million settlement with payment processor ACI Worldwide over a 2021 testing error that led to the attempted unauthorized withdrawal of $2.3 billion from the accounts of mortgage-holders. The case was investigated and negotiated with state financial regulators.The state regulators have entered into a separate agreement for an additional $10 million.
ACI Payments, a subsidiary of ACI Worldwide Corp., is a payment processor for a variety of third-party clients, including mortgage servicers. Nationstar Mortgage, known publicly as “Mr. Cooper,” offered ACI’s Speedpay product to its customers so they could schedule and electronically pay their monthly mortgage payments through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system. On April 23, 2021, ACI was testing the Speedpay platform when it erro-
neously submitted live Mr. Cooper consumer data into the ACH system.That resulted in ACI erroneously attempting to withdraw mortgage payments from hundreds of thousands of Mr. Cooper customers on a day that was not authorized or expected. In many cases, consumers were subjected to the attempted withdrawal of multiple mortgage payments from their personal bank accounts. The investigation determined that the April 2021 incident was possible due to
significant defects in ACI’s privacy and data security procedures and technical infrastructure . In addition to the $20 million payment to the states, the settlement requires ACI to take steps to avoid any future incidents, including requiring ACI to use artificially created data rather than real consumer data when testing systems or software, and requiring ACI to segregate any testing or development work from its consumer payment systems.
Council
meetings in January.” In other news, Envirotech Environmental Consulting has been contracted to battle invasive plants and South Bethany has selected Envirotech to specifically take down the phragmites (invasive reeds) on the bay side, and especially in the Cat Hill neighborhood. “This is not new to the town and has been done in the past. It helps in controlling the invasive stands,” said Hartman. She said expected the spraying and treatment would take two to three weeks and cost $3,700. “Phrag is an invasive species,” said Hartman about the difficulty in controlling the reeds.
of $7.8 million is an indication of the overall health of the town,” said Ashley Stern, the Town’s auditor. “The higher the number, the more services the Town is able to provide.” This year, there is a new GASB accounting standard that was implemented. “If you are a lessee or a lessor, there is now a requirement of reporting items on the deferred income for leases,” she said. “The financial position of the Town has remained stable from 2022 to 2023. We saw a $4,000 increase in revenue and a $3,000 decrease in expenses, which was really the impact of the ARPA funding the Town used, and it was spent in 2023. You don’t have to recognize [ARPA] when you receive it, but when you actually spend it.” South Bethany used the ARPA money more recently. The budget increase overall was $1.2 million this year. “Forty-one percent of the Town budget goes to public safety. The second-largest expense is Public Works. That is what you want to see, with the emphasis on public safety,” said Stern. She recommended increased training on the Town’s new accounting software, which was already scheduled for this week. “We want to draw to your attention to the implementation of these new GASB accounting rules” on the leasing and deferred rental income. “It changes any reporting on the leases which the Town may be entering into,” said Stern. “Whether you are the lessor or the lessee, it will now show up differently as income than what you have seen previously.” “I want to thank Maureen and Renee on the financial work they have done throughout the year to get us to the audit. We are also looking at how we spend the reserves or allocate that money later,” said Saxton. The most recently concluded fiscal year ended April 30, 2023. “I will now move to reallocate the use of reserves,” said the mayor. The Town’s financial team noted the correct allocations include: asset replacement, streets and public works, and maintaining reserve balances for infrastructure and multiple programs for town maintenance. Randy Bartholomew, finance chair of
the council, noted that the Town has $4,997,865 that is now in reserves. Asset replacement and maintenance also has a healthy balance of $2,192,000. There were some town hall upgrade costs that carried over from the recent construction, of about $32,000, and the Town plans to retire that debt. The council also moved to update the Town’s investment policy to add language to authorize investments in four different areas, adding brokerage accounts as a platform to facilitate investments such as CDs and bank notes protected by the FDIC. The Town now has 16 different investment vehicles. Bob Biciocchi was appointed as chair of the Charter & Code Committee in a unanimous vote, taking over that board liaison role from Abbott. Tim Shaw was selected as a voting member of the Canal Water Quality Committee. With another CWQ member joining the resiliency committee, it was deemed important to have a vote on the appointed role of a voting member, as that extends his position beyond serving as council liaison. The Resiliency Committee is adding Jeffrey Kolberg, and “He will be a tremendous asset to the committee because he is a structural engineer by trade,” said Councilwoman Edie Dondero, who nominated him. The second appointment is for Saxton to fill the second council seat on that resiliency committee. Trash bins on Ocean Drive in Sandpiper Village were also addressed at the Oct. 13 meeting, and the town manager solicited bids for the containers. The first bid was $15,744 for 16 bins for construction and delivery. The second proposal was for $40,000 for 16 bins with a similar design, but the bid provided added labor to place the bins, rather than South Bethany public works employees doing that. Chandlee Projects of Bethany Beach was the winning bid, and the council approved the $15,744 funding with minor suggestions on which direction the bins will face. Ocean rentals of beach homes in Sandpiper Village range from $2,500 per week off-season up to $9,000 per week in-season, according to Crowley Associates Realty, and trash and open collection containers have been an eyesore for the high-end beach community.
Continued from page 10 Councilwoman Chris Keefe noted that the town council meeting agenda was quite detailed, with specific guidance on parking studies and trash collection matters. “This is not just talking trash,” said Keefe. “We have a very full and comprehensive agenda.” Town Manager Maureen Hartman talked about the council seat nominating process. “Yes,” said Hartman, “We will be requesting letters of interest starting on Oct. 13. There is a 30-day period for residents to submit them. If someone is appointed at the December town council meeting, they will start in February 2024, because there are no council

Towns take look at districts as they grow Millsboro officials are discussing the possibilities of adjusting the size of their voting districts, in an attempt to keep the voting numbers of each district approximately the same. And this brings up an interesting subject. Look, if you are either pro- or anti-development, the fact remains that the unprecedented growth this community has seen over the past two decades has changed things. Some things for the good. Some things for the worse. And some things... well, they’re just different now. Larger developments can alter the demographics and population density of a town immediately.Think of how Bear Trap impacted Ocean View. Or Millville By the Sea in Millville. Or, in regards to the Millsboro conversation, Plantation Lakes in that town. A heavy concentration of people in one area, relative to the rest of the town,
has an impact. It could determine how many sitting council members are from one area, or how many voters have a common interest and can simply vote in council members who will be more inclined to vote their interests. In Millsboro, Mayor Jim Kells told the Coastal Point this week that there is indeed an imbalance in the town now, and he would like to look at redistricting — in terms of drawing maps and making each of the three districts as close as possible in terms of numbers. The council is currently configured of two members from each of the three districts, and another who is “at large.” Residents can vote for or against anybody running for a seat, regardless of the district. We’re not sure what the right solution is here, but we are encouraged by the council taking a look at it and trying to determine what’s fair for all of Millsboro’s citizens. It bears watching.
Tech does save us from ourselves sometimes Creatures of habit, unite! No? Just me? There aren’t others of you out there who sometimes want to wedge an iPad under the incessant wheels of progress in hopes of returning things back to a day when things simply made more sense? Personally, I can do without the selfcheckout contraptions at the grocery store that only serve to make me look more lost than I already am while I hear groans from the folks behind me as I struggle to find the bar code on a grape. I Darin J. McCann hate having to try to reason with a machine or pick the right number to push when I need something addressed. I positively despise how people get their jobs — and often their self-worth right along with it — replaced by silicon chips, all in the name of “progress.” It makes me long for a simpler time, when we valued people, people valued themselves, and pride and self-respect were things that were generated from within. Can you remember that time, before we focused our energies on replacing people and human experiences with AI and Zoom meetings? You know, when you worked for what you wanted, owned up to mistakes and scrambled to get the 946-pound family dictionary that was currently being used to press your father’s tie when you needed help spelling a word? Scratch that last one. That part stunk. So, yeah, there is one little bit of technological progress and human-assistance I can get behind — spell check and the ability to search for words, synonyms and usage with the touch of my finger. Oh, it’s not perfect, and probably never will be due to the oddities and inconsistencies of the English language, but it sure does help. Have you ever been sending a text or email on your phone and you just start barreling ahead with a word you don’t know how to spell because you know in your heart that digital help is on the way? You ever find yourself double-checking exactly what a word means and its proper usage because you’re afraid of being “that guy” who butchers things and comes off looking like the doofus in front of you at the store who is trying to find a bar code on a grape? Have you ever found yourself in a perilous situation where your life, and the lives of everyone you love, can only be saved by correctly spelling “bougie?” You and me both. Well, to be fair, I’ve probably never used “bougie” in a text
message before. I’m pretty sure I’ve never even said it out loud. Heck, you might have just witnessed the first time I ever even typed the word “bougie” anywhere, at any time. But, according to the fine people at Betway, “bougie” is the top word that Delawareans spell incorrectly. Betway said they studied the words most often used after people enter “How to spell” in a Google search, and, when the dust cleared, the fine scrapple-eaters of Delaware struggled to spell “bougie.” Now, before we get too wrapped up in this spelling void in First-Staters’ spelling tool box, keep in mind that this isn’t a word that spelling incorrectly will result in someone’s death or dismemberment. Rarely will you get a text message from a loved one that says, “Help. Been kidnapped. Bring the most boojie...” It’s also important to note here that the third-place word in terms of Delawareans struggling to spell is “grey.” And... let me check my map here... yeah, we don’t live in Canada. Or the United Kingdom. We use “gray” in these here parts, Betway. As in, “That gray hat was too boojhie for her to wear to the chicken-pickin’ contest.” “Patience” found itself at the fifth spot on Betway’s list, and judging from some of the comments we get on our Facebook posts (you know who you are), that comes from people trying to spell “patients.” Same goes for the seventh word on the list, “lose,” which gets confused with “loose” and “Philadelphia Flyers” a lot around here. So, yeah, those two make sense. The 10th and final word on Delaware’s hard-to-spell list is “schedule.” And, frankly, I’m at a loss here. Curious, I found a site online, gingersoftware.com, that showed how people misspell commonly misspell words online. The most commonly way to misspell “schedule,” via Ginger Software, is “scheduale,” at 10.5 percent of the mistakes made with the word. “Scheduale?” What are we doing here, people? Are we trying to force a drawl on the pronunciation of the word by spelling it a tiny bit phonetical? Scheduale? That sounds more like you’re trying to plan an ale with a friend. “Hey, can you scheduale tonight?” “Nah, can’t make it. I have this boohjee event tonight, and I’m running out of payshense with these things.” “Gotcha. Maybe you can enjoy some kwyit time when it’s over?” Yeah, “Quiet” was No. 9 on the list. I’m starting to think we might need more AI in our lives now.

Letters Reader reaches out to Millsboro officials Editor: Last week, on Oct. 2, 2023, the Millsboro Town Council held a meeting to discuss changing the town code to ban cannabis businesses from operating within town limits. I am strongly against these bans. Cannabis has truly transformed my life! After a car accident in 2009, I was prescribed opioids, muscle relaxers and other medications. The side effects were harming my health and home life. In 2016, I was able to medically retire from teaching and sought better options. After one cannabis edible, I knew I had found a more natural choice that worked to control my
pain, anxiety and PTSD. Cannabis is much safer than alcohol and opioids, as no one has died from cannabis. Our community deserves to have a safe, regulated market in Millsboro. Research shows that opioid use and abuse declines with cannabis sales nearby. Having a dispensary nearby would reduce the illicit market and reduce crime. There are several liquor stores and a methadone clinic in Millsboro, and we are not discussing banning those. Adults deserve the choice to go purchase adult-use cannabis just as they would alcohol. This town is still growing, with hundreds of houses to still be developed. Research has shown that having a dispensary nearby attracts more people to the town. No one wants to drive
45 minutes to get their medicine. If Walgreens and Rite-Aid are allowed to be here and dispense narcotics, then dispensaries should be allowed as well. Millsboro’s website says it’s welcoming to families and professionals, as well as first for growth. Allowing cannabis businesses will help Millsboro prosper! Lizzie Golob Millsboro
Reader critical of town council vote Editor: The Town of Ocean View should be ashamed of itself for voting to ban retail cannabis sales and cultivation. In several years, they will be begging for the revenue, job creation and commu-
nity support that the cannabis industry would provide, and at that point, cannabis businesses should refuse to open here. Myself and several other folks who opposed these bans were the only individuals to show up consistently at town council meetings to offer our testimony accompanied by valid research, yet we were ignored. The mayor alleges there were “businesses and HOAs” that wrote in to support the bans on cannabis, but they never showed up to the meetings and these letters were not entered into the record. The mayor references the fact that medical cannabis is not banned in Ocean View, but where are the medical shops? There are only two, in Rehoboth and Lewes, that offer very limited selection of medicine and exorbitant and unaffordable prices. As myself and another gentleman, Brian Warnock, explained during our testimony, there are many barriers to obtaining a Delaware medical cannabis card and financial barriers, in terms of pricing of medicine. Despite having our Delaware medical cannabis cards, it is still cheaper for us to drive all the way to Ocean City and purchase on the retail side — albeit more of a hassle, especially when I am in pain or throwing up from nausea caused by endometriosis. We shouldn’t have to live like this — 21+ adults and medical patients should be able to drive within 10 minutes from our homes to purchase cannabis for pain or for pleasure. It should not be easier for me to purchase booze and cigarettes than it is for me to purchase a natural alternative, a harmless plant. The Ocean View Town Council flagrantly disregarded our testimony. We presented extremely compelling arguments highlighting their hypocrisy permitting and promoting alcohol within town limits and at town events, despite alcohol being the true gateway drug and a deadly neurotoxin/poison. The mayor said cannabis would “bring a bad element into town,” yet this is exactly what alcohol does, not cannabis. Just look at all of the alcohol-fueled fights and police activity just this summer in Dewey Beach, prompting police to establish a townwide curfew. The mayor also said, “You don’t know when you buy something on the street if it’s natural or if it’s safe,” yet if he listened to us, he would understand this is precisely why we need legal shops. Stephen Cobb questioned why neighboring towns would also ban See LETTERS page 15

Participants will have the opportunity to taste Roman Jewish dishes and to purchase signed copies of the book after the event. Registration is available at tinyurl.com/zoomwithauthors or the Lewes Public Library’s website at lewes.lib.de.us. Participants will be asked to select virtual or in-person attendance. Koenig is a food writer and author of seven cookbooks, including “The Jewish Cookbook” and “Modern Jewish Cooking.” Her writing and recipes have appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Food52, Epicurious, Bon Appetit and Food & Wine, among other publications. She also writes the weekly newsletter, The Jewish Table. Participants are being encouraged to support the author by purchasing a copy of the book from local independent bookstore Browseabout Books. Books may be purchased online, at the store, at the event, or by calling (302) 226-2665.
Letters Continued from page 14 cannabis, and the answer is ignorance, discrimination, misinformation, goodol’-boy don’t-go-against-the-grain mentalities, and potentially pressure from large liquor companies and bars, who would see cannabis as competition. They had their minds made up prior to the initial Planning & Zoning committee meeting. They disrespected the will of the voters and are making it more difficult for adults to access cannabis safely, legally and affordably. Alexandra Miller Ocean View

Delaware Watersheds Photo Contest opens for entries DNREC is again inviting photographers of all ages and skill levels to submit their best shots and to participate in the Delaware Watersheds Photo Contest. Hosted by the DNREC Division of Watershed Stewardship, the contest is designed to share the beauty of Delaware’s diverse environment while acting as a vivid reminder that everything that happens on land directly affects what happens in the waterways. A watershed is land that water moves across or under while flowing to a specific body of water. Every acre of land and body of water in Delaware is part of a watershed. And the contest lens for focusing on watersheds has widened — unlike previous Delaware Watersheds Photo Contests, this year there is no restriction or limitation on where photos can be taken, meaning images associated with any of the 45 watersheds in the state will be accepted. The 2023 contest
opens online for entries Friday, Oct. 13, and closes Friday, Nov. 10. “The watersheds contest continues to challenge photographers to capture the unique beauty and functionality of Delaware’s watersheds,” said DNREC Secretary Shawn M. Garvin. “What better way of promoting the roles watersheds play in improving water quality and helping to manage precious water resources — both under threat due to impacts of climate change on our state. What we want to see in these photos is the outsize importance watersheds have — and have always had, but now more than ever — here in the second smallest and lowest-lying state.” A panel of judges consisting of a photographer, an educator and a scientist from DNREC staff will be looking for striking photographic images of Delaware’s waterways, landscapes, sustainable watershed practices, native
plants and animals and agricultural practices. The judging panel will determine the finalists whose work will be posted on the DNREC website, with the winning photograph to be chosen by public voting through the DNREC Division of Watershed Stewardship Facebook page. The winner will receive a prize pack including a $250 Visa gift card, a 2023 Delaware State Parks annual pass, a print of the winning photograph, and a certificate signed by Gov. John Carney and DNREC Secretary Shawn M. Garvin. The winning photo also will be published in Outdoor Delaware, DNREC’s online magazine, at de.gov/outdoordelaware. To enter the Delaware Watersheds Photo Contest, use the online submission form at de.gov/watershed.

ARBOR-LYN IS MORE THAN JUST HOME. Locals who live and work in Rehoboth Beach sure know a good thing when they see it, which is why Devon and Mustafa chose Arbor-Lyn. This community checked all the boxes for its' sought-after zip code, proximity to downtown Rehoboth, ample amenities, energy-efficient Schell homes and close-knit community feel. After visiting various communities, we fell in love with Schell Brothers’ attention to detail when it comes to building. And because we knew what our version of perfect looked like, the decision to make Arbor-Lyn our home was one of the easiest that we have ever made together. The proximity to both Rehoboth and Lewes makes it an ideal launching pad for exploring the beaches or bays in either direction. We had the pleasure of working with a well-informed, knowledgeable team that welcomed our questions while helping us to explore the full potential of the model we fell in love with. When we asked to see every possible feature, the team dove in headfirst and helped us maximize our favorite bells and whistles to give us the home of our dreams.

‘Red Clay Suzie’ author to visit Lewes library for book event
Coastal Point • Susan Lyons
A blue heron got a little reflective outside of the Coastal Points World Headquarters in Ocean View this week.
The Lewes Public Library, CAMP Rehoboth and Browseabout Books will welcome author Jeffrey Dale “J.D.” Lofton for a discussion and book signing of his novel “Red Clay Suzie” on Tuesday, Oct. 24, at 5 p.m. at the library, 111 Adams Avenue in Lewes. Lofton will be in conversation with Jeff Wilkinson, retired literacy specialist and facilitator of The CAMP Rehoboth Book Club. The event will also be streamed live online via Zoom. Inspired by true events, “Red Clay Suzie” is the coming-of-age story of Philbet, a gay, physically-misshapen boy in rural Georgia, who battles bullying, ignorance and disdain as he makes his way in life as an outsider. Fueled by tomato sandwiches and green milkshakes, and obsessed with cars, Philbet is happiest when helping Grandaddy dig potatoes from the vegetable garden that connects their houses. Over time, he finds inner strength from the life lessons learned in Grandaddy’s garden and through his passion for Knox — the boy to whom he has given his heart — if only he can summon the courage to tell him. Registration is required. At registration, participants will be asked to select virtual or in-person attendance. Visit tinyurl.com/zoomwithauthors or lewes.lib.de.us to sign up. Participants are being encouraged to support the author by purchasing a copy of the book from local independent bookstore Browseabout Books. Orders may be placed online, in-person or by calling the store at (302) 226-2665. Books will also be available for purchase and signing at the event. Lofton hails from Warm Springs, Ga., and has lived in Washington, D.C., for more than three decades. He performed as a professional actor for many years in D.C. theaters, including the Kennedy Center, Signature Theatre, Woolly Mammoth and Studio Theatre. He works now as a senior advisor at the Library of Congress, surrounded by books and people who love books.
No update yet on Bethany Beach police chief’s status By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter The Bethany Beach Town Council will determine what actions to take regarding suspended Police Chief Michael Redmon after his case has been settled in the criminal justice system. “At the time the case is resolved, the Town will officially review the incident and determine what the Town’s future actions regarding Chief Redmon will be. We have no control over timing,” Mayor Rosemary Hardiman recently told the
Coastal Point. Redmon was suspended from his duties with the Bethany Beach Police Department after being charged with driving under the influence near Selbyville a little after midnight on May 30. At the time, Hardiman confirmed the 56-year-old chief had been suspended and relieved of his duties as chief “pending the adjudication of the charge that has been placed against him.” “At the time the case is resolved, the Town will officially review the incident and determine what the Town’s future
actions regarding Chief Redmon will be,” she had also said at the time. Neither she nor Town Manager Cliff Graviet would comment further. Delaware State Police Cpl. Leonard DeMalto, at the time the incident, told the Coastal Point that Redmon, a former Delaware State Trooper who had been chief about 20 years, was stopped at 12:19 a.m. on Lighthouse Road near Old Mill Road east of Selbyville. DeMalto said Redmon was not driving a marked police vehicle, but it remains unclear whether the vehicle he
was driving was an unmarked vehicle in the police department’s fleet. It is against state police policy to release information as to whether a breathalyzer test was administered or what Redmon’s blood alcohol level was, DeMalto said. He said a traffic ticket was issued, but Redmon was not taken to jail or put in a holding cell. There was no accident or speeding involved, and Redmon was released to a sober individual, he said. “Each case is unique. It’s up to the judge,” he said.

The Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) announced this week that, effective Oct. 11, active-duty military and their dependents may qualify for a document fee exemption, as 2 Del. Admin. C. §2266 was amended “to assist with the transition to a new state less strenuous on active duty military personnel and their dependents, who are deployed to the state of Delaware.” The exemption includes the registration of a motor vehicle by a member of the military (active, reserve or national guard) and their dependent family members who are stationed on either a temporary or permanent basis within the state of Delaware and whose vehicles are registered in their state of residence or at their previous duty assignment (to include an overseas assignment). Military members or their dependent
family members must provide activeduty military orders indicating a temporary or permanent change of duty station within 90 days of relocating to Delaware or within 90 days of the vehicle purchase. “Active-duty military personnel and their families often relocate multiple times during their careers in the armed forces,” state Sen. Eric Buckson (RDover) said. “Figuring out new and innovative ways to assist these individuals to more easily transition to life in Delaware is important. I applaud the Department of Transportation and Division of Motor Vehicles for recognizing this challenge and meeting it head-on.” “Our active-duty military are no strangers to relocation, adapting to new surroundings and environments. Waiving the document fee is one small thing we can do to help ease their transition,”
said Delaware Department of Transportation Secretary Nicole Majeski. “The process to request an exemption is quite easy,” added Director of the Division of Motor Vehicles Amy Anthony. “As soon as you get settled, just bring your active-duty military orders to one of our DMV locations. If you have a family member who qualifies, they must also be listed on the orders.” The Military Document Fee Credit should be applied at the time of titling. For more infomation on the change, visit dmv.de.gov. The DMV also offers various services for veterans, including a Veteran’s Indicator that can be added to any driver license or identification card. DMV’s Heroes of the Highway program assists recently discharged military members with obtaining their Commercial Driver License.

Words by Darin J. McCann | Photography by Photos by Sarah Beth | Getty Images Wedding invitations give me anxiety.
Words by Taryn King During a time when various events, ranging from casual to formal, were faced with indoor restrictions, people quickly shifted their gatherings to the outdoors. While capacity limitations were still in place, it was easier to breathe (no pun intended) in the open air. In the wedding industry, that shift blossomed into creative and reimagined ways of celebrating a couples’ joining. One such notion became the ever-trending “luxury picnic” concept. Most people have been familiar with the idea of laying a blanket on the ground and sharing a meal with friends or family since their formative years. Sometimes, it’s on the cool grass in a serene park, sometimes at home in the living room (when mom wasn’t up for
6
cooking), and sometimes with our little friends in the back yard — just about all of us have memories of something representing the archetypal picnic. More casual wedding-related events, such as bachelorette parties, formal rehearsal dinners — and even small intimate weddings — embraced the idea of gathering with loved ones in a nostalgic setting with the added boost of professional planning. While we are no longer living under conditions that require people to keep their distance in outdoor settings, the luxury picnic appeal has not dissipated. In fact, there are now more planners offering this service than during the pan-

rest of us are part of the background, there to provide support, partake in a special moment and maybe wiggle around some cocktailstricken legs to the tune of the Electric Slide.
We’re window dressing, basically, and therein lies the rub: How should we dress? Specifically, how should a man dress when going to a wedding as a guest? Not as a groom. Not as a member of the party. No, those things are pre-ordained by the couple of the hour. Those choices are easy. This is when we have to dress up but don’t really know how to dress up. How do we do this? How do we do any of this? Fret not, dear readers. We have your back. But you need to do just a little bit of research first. It’s not all that hard, and there’s a very good chance the information you need can be found right on that invitation. You have to find out what kind of dress is expected. Let’s take a look at some options:

I can’t be the only one, right? Others have to see the top-shelf stationery arrive in the mail, or the eye-catching invitation that now arrives via the digital expressway, and feel a tightening in the chest and a shaking in the knees, right? Well, maybe it is me. But it’s not out of any disdain for the rituals of marriage or a public celebration of love. No, there’s very little that is more beautiful than the idea of two human beings pledging their souls and lives to one another in front of the people they cherish. It is pure and exciting and can warm the very sub-cockles of one’s heart. I just don’t know what to wear. Look, I get it. Nobody’s there to look at what some schlub is wearing to a wedding. They are there to see the couple of the hour — the reason for the season, so to speak. The

Real EDvice What are the pros and cons of a construction loan A construction loan is a shortterm loan (typically no longer than two years) that provides the funds required to build a property. Flaherty A construction loan can cover costs, such as: land/lot, building materials, labor, building permits, septic/well, etc. Some of the pros of doing a construction loan would be that you may use it to build a new home (vs. buying an existing home). You may also choose your builder, selections, options, and other upgrades or extras that you may not find in an existing home. Cons to doing a construction loan would be that payments on the construction loan begin once funds start being disbursed to the builder. With a traditional mortgage, payments don’t begin until settlement. Another con is that the interest rates on construction loans are typically higher than on traditional mortgages. Your closing costs may be higher due to
required inspections. I worked with a family who owned a lot for several years and decided to build. Since more than one year had lapsed from when they bought to when the permit was obtained, they were not required to pay the transfer taxes on the cost of the home, which saved them thousands of dollars! Anne Vogel Flaherty Prosperity Home Mortgage LLC (302) 437-5076 Anne.vogel@phmloans.com
New-construction homes carry some risk with potential delays in materials, unknown upgrades or last-minute change orders, Walsh and could have unexpected, unforeseen contingencies. In the past couple years, I had customers build their own dream

home. By the time the appraisal was completed and the borrowers signed the documents at settlement, some estimates more than doubled in price. Some construction materials which normally took 4-6 weeks were taking over 24 weeks to deliver. The overall project was $100,000 overbudget, but, fortunately, the borrowers had enough equity in the property and qualified for the larger loan amount. Customizing the floor plan, potentially saving money and low maintenance are a few loan construction pros. A custom floorplan allows you to construct your dream home that suits your unique style of living and entertaining guests. Having the ability to pick where you live, along with choosing all the interior and exterior options could save you money. Brand new homes have all new floors, appliances, a new roof and HVAC units that offer warranties. Not all institutions offer construction loans, so consult with your financial professional to determine if construction loans are offered and if it is the best product for your situation. Cory Walsh Taylor Bank (302) 541-0500 CWalsh@taylorbank.com
The good part about the construction loan is that the payments are “interest only” during the construction period, based on the cumulative
balance of draws made, rather than the total contract price of the job, so early payments are low initially. The downside of a construction Bayer project is that there are frequently delays, which can impact the permanent timing of the final rate. And, I have seen new “costs” appear that should have been a part of the original cost quoted by the buyer as a standard part of building that the builder tacks on to the cost, even though previously the builder guaranteed that the contract price was never going to change. So, it is a good idea to have a 5 percent contingency built into the contract to cover overruns, or it can be potentially added to the loan if the builder doesn’t want to build it into the contract. Once the house is finished, then the rate could be lowered if the rates have improved since the start of the project, which benefits you. Also, be sure that you use a lender that only has one closing, rather than two, to lower your closing costs. Keep in mind that the builder’s “incentive” is inflated in the price of the construction jobs, so the buyer is actually bearing the cost. Liz Bayer ProMortgage (302) 581-2035 LizForLoans@gmail.com

an overview of each piece of legislation and discussion by a panel of legal and HR experts on how the laws may impact businesses’ financials, policies and onboarding processes. That will be followed by a discussion of business resources, next steps for business owners and a Q&A session.
In addition to the scheduled programming, the event includes a complimentary breakfast courtesy of SCORE Delaware and time for networking. Registration is required, as seating is limited. There is no cost to attend the event. Register online at thequietresorts.com or call (302) 539-2100.
CONNEX Delaware aims to strengthen manufacturing supply chain The Delaware Manufacturing Extension Partnership (DEMEP) and Delaware Technical Community College recently announced the launch of CONNEX Delaware, a free online software platform designed to strengthen the state’s local and domestic manufacturing supply chain. Through the platform, officials said, Delaware manufacturers will be able to better connect with each other, find local suppliers, mitigate risk, discover new business opportunities and manage their supply chains. “We are thrilled to introduce the CONNEX platform to our state’s manufacturers,” said Rustyn Stoops, DEMEP deputy director. “Not only will this help manufacturers in our state source materials and services from one another, but it will also allow them to offer their goods and services to manufacturers across the country.” The CONNEX Delaware platform will allow manufacturers to post Requests for Information (RFI), Requests for Proposals (RFP) and Requests for Quote (RFQ) in the platform’s B2B Exchange Center and quickly identify Delaware suppliers who can meet their needs. Delaware suppliers can also increase their discoverability by large primes and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) through their CONNEX profile, which catalogs their capabilities, equipment, processes, materials, certifications, and more. This will lead to manufacturing opportunities in new markets, they noted. “We are always looking for ways to help Delaware manufacturers achieve their goals,” said Stoops. “CONNEX Delaware will be a tremendous resource for our manufacturers and is another example of our commitment to provide manufacturers with resources that ensure a productive, efficient, and resilient manufacturing community.” Through the sponsorship of the Delaware Manufacturing Extension Partnership and funding provided through the CHIPS and Science Act, a local version of the platform will be provided for free to all Delaware manufacturers to connect with each other and find new business opportunities within the state. In addition,
Delaware MEP is offering manufacturers a free one-year upgrade to the entire national platform if they sign up by Dec. 6. This means Delaware manufacturers can freely connect with all U.S. manufacturers and discover new business opportunities across the country. “We are excited to be part of the
CONNEX Delaware implementation,” said CONNEX Marketplace President and CEO Alan Davis. “This dynamic platform will help connect and lift Delaware’s manufacturing ecosystem, align local, state, and national manufacturing goals, increase collaboration across all state manufacturing organizations, and
better connect large and small manufacturers across the state with new business opportunities.” Registration for Delaware manufacturers and suppliers is now under way. To register or get more information, visit https://www.demep.org/connex/.

Brightman pursuing bachelor’s degree at Albright College Blake Brightman of Frankford has begun higher-education studies at Albright College, pursuing a bachelor’s degree as a member of the Class of 2027. A graduate of Indian River High School, Brightman is studying business administration (marketing) at Albright. Brightman is joined by 440 first-year and transfer students. Members of the new class have taken an average of seven honors courses during high school, with 36 having graduated in the top 10 percent of their high school
classes, and 68 are eligible for Albright’s Honors program.The class boasts six Eagle Scouts and four Girl Scout Gold Award winners. Although their top declared majors are business, biology, psychology and education, the college’s Alpha program (designed to help students find their best fit) is also very popular among class of 2027 members. About 70 percent of new Albrightians plan to take advantage of the college’s co-major program, which enables
students to cross or combine different programs, without taking longer to graduate. This year’s new Albrightians come from around the country and the globe, joining the Reading, Pa., community from both coasts, 18 different states and 14 countries, including Croatia, Dominican Republic, Germany, Hong Kong—SAR, Iran, Italy, Japan, Jersey, Netherlands, Nigeria, Portugal, Skorea, Sweden and Vietnam. About 54 percent of them are non-white. More than 50 percent of the Albright
Class of 2027 will be the first in their families to attend college. More than a third will compete as varsity Division III athletes. A total of 18 are Albright Shirk Scholars, two have earned full Davis Scholarships and another 18 join Albright as members of the second Global Scholars cohort — living together throughout their first year, while taking a series of courses together in the fall and spring semesters.

Five more sessions are planned throughout the fall, each session focusing on at least one aspect of the wellness wheel.The wellness wheel focuses on seven aspects of life that when balanced assure wellness — social, intellectual, physical, environmental, emotional, spiritual and financial.The goal is to check in with oneself, evaluate how one is doing, and highlight any imbalances that might be preventing one from living a happy and healthy life. “Wellness is an active process in which an individual becomes aware of and makes choices towards a more healthy life,” McDonald said. “Wellness is something that impacts us all, and to bring that to the forefront, Celebrate Wellness is wheeling into something really great.” On Saturday, Oct. 21, Celebrate Wellness will host the 1st Inaugural Dilly Dally Cruiser Rally — a relaxed, costumed cruise along Breakwater Trail, designed for those who enjoy a leisurely, fun bike ride. It’s a day dedicated to camaraderie, joy-riding, and raising funds and awareness for the Celebrate Wellness program. “And the best part is, you get to do it in costume!” McDonald said. The event will begin and end at Schellville, with registration kicking off at 2 p.m. and riders pedaling off at 2:30 p.m.The group will gather after the ride at Schellville Fall Festival, with live music provided by Chris Steele from 3 to 5 p.m. and Go-Go Retro from 5 to 8 p.m.There will be local food trucks, drinks, an artisan market, Beebe Mobile Health Unit and lots of fall activities. Participants may decide to ride the whole 11-mile loop, part of the trail, or just come and celebrate wellness. All are welcome! Tickets are available on Eventbrite. This special initiative provides resources
that McDonald said she wishes she was equipped with when stepping into the hospitality world more than 40 years ago. She said the idea of a costumed ride comes from
her years in Key West. On the island, there was always a costumed event, and this first annual ride pays homage to that.The costume planning and excitement leading up to
the event are designed to create a sense of whimsy, and McDonald said she feels we all need a little (or a lot) more of that freedom in our lives.

Georgetown Elementary student recognized by SDARJ The Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice (SDARJ) recently honored Georgetown Elementary fourth-grader Adrien Batson for his leadership, effort and excellence. Batson was new to Georgetown Elementary last year, representatives said, “but that didn’t stop him from befriending many of his classmates and peers. His teachers say he is a wonderful addition to the classroom, school and community. Adrien is charismatic, hard-working and kind, and his smile is infectious to all around him. “Adrien dove into his new environment with enthusiasm, participating in various community sports teams. He was even named the Georgetown Boys & Girls Club Student of the Week this past summer.” One of his teachers said, “Adrien is a role model for all. He is the type of student all teachers hope to have in their classroom and one you will never forget.” Surrounded by family, Adrien was honored in a ceremony at the school and received a $20 gift card from SDARJ. SDARJ initiated the African American Achievement award to recognize students who represent the ideals of leadership, improvement, effort and excellence in their schools. Students from each school in the Cape Henlopen and Indian River school districts are recog-

NAMI Delaware expands southern reach NAMI Delaware is expanding its programming and services in southern Delaware to better serve the area’s growing populations and their mental health needs. The organization this week announced the promotion of Jacqueline Contreras, previously the part-time multicultural engagement coordinator, to Southern Delaware coordinator, a fulltime role with a focus on building programming capacity.
“Jackie’s proven skills and talents make her the right person for this role,” said Joshua Thomas, president and CEO of NAMI Delaware. “Given her passion for supporting people affected by mental illness, she is the perfect choice to further grow our footprint.” The position grew out of NAMI Delaware’s strategic planning process, which concluded that a full-time staffer in Kent and Sussex counties was neces-
sary to support residents in Southern Delaware. Contreras, who is fluent in English and Spanish, has worked with NAMI Delaware since 2020, primarily with the Spanish-speaking community in Sussex County. In her new role, she will build programming to meet educational and support needs in both counties, as well as assist with advocacy and the HelpLine, and represent the organization at meet-
ings, events and community activities. “My goal is to develop programs and events that strengthen the support networks for our families, organizations, and companies affected by chronic mental health conditions,” said Contreras. “I love the vitally important work that NAMI does helping people who live with mental illness. It crosses borders, boundaries, and language barriers, and I’m pleased to play a role in this effort.”

Millville’s Evans Park holds dedication for Blue Star and Gold Star memorials By Kerin Magill Staff Reporter The dedication of the Blue Star and Gold Star memorials at Millville’s Evans Park was a day to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice and to salute those who served their country. Attending the Saturday, Oct. 14 ceremony — which was held in the park’s Community Center because of the threat of rain — were veterans and their families, as well as members of area first-responder agencies, Boy Scouts, garden club members and local officials. Millville Mayor Ronald Belinko called the occasion “very humbling” and “very historical,” as it marked the first time in Delaware that a Blue Star Memorial, honoring all members of the U.S. armed forces, and a Gold Star Memorial, honoring families of those who died while serving in the military, are in the same location. Community members submitted names of active-duty military, Gold Star families and veterans for publication in the program for the event. Throughout the dedication ceremony, music was provided by classical guitarist George Bachmann and vocalist Tricia Gardner. Gardeners by the Sea garden club President Alva Hutchison told the crowd that packed the community center about the club’s partnership with the Town, as well as Mason-Dixon VFW Post 7234 in bringing the project to fruition. The garden club oversaw the placement of the boulders that are the centerpiece of the dual memorials and provided landscaping around the memorials, which are located at the northeast corner of the park, near the new pavilion. “We are honored to have our Gold Star families, our World War II vets,” Hutchison said, referring to Bill Cobb and Ernest Marvel. “What an honor, what a pleasure to have them with us.” “I know that there are people that you are holding in your heart right now, that probably brought tears to your eyes,” Hutchison said. Later in the program, Hutchison rang a bell as VFW Post Commander James Jensen read the names of 10 members of the armed services who died serving their country — one ring of the bell for each name. Gardner followed the remembrance by singing “Amazing Grace,” accompanied by See MEMORIALS page 33

The Town plans to hold a similar ceremony each year. Families are being invited to submit names of loved ones for the annual tributes. After the ceremony, three members of Boy Scout Troop 281, who had helped set up the room for the event and participated in the presentation of the colors at its start, sat together snacking on doughnuts from the breakfast that had been provided for invited guests. Ayden Beaver, 13, said he had never been to a ceremony like the one held at Evans Park on Saturday. Trey Deale said he enjoyed taking part in the honor guard and said he had thought while he was listening to the stories of service, “Man, this is awesome.” Gabe Ott, 13, said he found the sto-

St. Ann’s Knights chapter earns top award St. Ann’s Knights of Columbus Council 16771 recently received the Star Council Award for 2023. This is the third straight year that the council has won the award, and it is one of only five councils in the state to receive the recognition. The Star Council Award recognizes outstanding achievement in membership growth, fraternal finance programs, and community and parish support programs. “The Council wishes to offer thanks to all members of the community who have supported Knights of Columbus,” representatives said. During its fiscal year that ended June 30, the council raised more than $40,000 that supported local programs for the homeless, individuals with intellectual disabilities, injured veterans and first-responders. Justin’s Beach House, St. Ann’s parish and nearby pregnancy-support centers were targeted by the council. In addition, they also purchased and distributed nearly 200 winter coats to needy children and families in the community. “This most recent Star Council Award is a reflection, among other things, of the leadership team and the dedication of the members of our local Knights Council to support those in need in our local community,” said Tom McElroy, the Grand Knight of the St. Ann’s Council. L “Our council is growing, and our members are continually looking Sways to support our community confor sistent with the Knights of Columbus mission that is focused on charity and faith.” Membership in the Knights of Columbus is open to men 18 or older who are practicing Catholics in union with the Holy See. For information, contact the membership director, Steve Van Meter at svanmeter77@gmail.com.

DSHA shares report on housing needs Off icials, community members gather in Dover for f indings Delawareans, including government officials, nonprofit and for-profit partners, and service providers, joined the Delaware State Housing Authority (DSHA) at Polytech Adult Education Center recently to hear preliminary findings from the 2023 Housing Needs Assessment report compiled by Root Policy Research. Key findings from the report include: • Overall, 50 percent of renters in Delaware are cost-burdened, with 25,000 severely cost-burdened—paying more than 50 percent of their in-
come in rent. • Since 2010, the homeownership rate has dropped for all age cohorts except seniors, with the most significant decline among ages 35 to 44, where the rate dropped from 71 percent to 63 percent. • The composition of the state’s housing stock has changed little over time, with the most significant change being a 6,800 unit decrease in manufactured or mobile homes. • To keep up with household growth through 2030, the state will need to add 24,400 new units or an average of 2,400 units per year. Key takeaways from the report, officials said, include: • Securing additional funding and financing tools will be essential to ad-
dressing current housing shortages and meeting projected needs. Delaware has received unprecedented federal and state funding for housing in recent years, but more investment will be needed. • Planning and zoning changes are needed to ensure all Delawareans can access safe housing, regardless of income, age, location or household size. Even with additional funding and resources, efforts to address the state’s housing needs will be constrained unless state and local regulatory policies explicitly encourage the development of diverse housing types. • Cross-sector collaboration is crucial to making meaningful progress toward addressing the shortage of affordable units. This includes communication and cooperation among state and municipal governments as well as the private and nonprofit sectors. To view the Delaware Housing Needs Assessment Executive Summary and event PowerPoint, visit: http://www.destatehousing.com/Form sAndInformation/needs.php. The full report will be available later this fall. This comprehensive report was completed using data collection and analysis of various housing sources, stakeholder interviews and focus groups with residents, community leaders and housing advocates, and a resident survey. The report aims to inform housing agencies and local jurisdictions in prioritizing housing and housing-related services, developing more targeted program and policy responses, and better coordinating federal, state and local resources. “Everyone deserves safe and affordable housing, but we know there is not
enough housing stock, and home prices have excluded so many people from the market,” said outgoing U.S. Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.). “Thousands of people in Delaware today are able to afford a roof over their head because of our state’s housing authority working hand in glove with partners — including federal programs your congressional delegation works so hard to protect — to make Delaware a great place to live. I will keep working to ensure everyone has an affordable and safe place they can call home.” “The 2023 Housing Needs Assessment report findings are a stark reminder that the housing crisis in Delaware is real, and it is urgent,” said Matthew Heckles, HUD regional administrator. “My team and I in HUD’s Region 3 are committed to working with our state and local partners to secure additional funding and financing tools for affordable housing.” “We know that affordable housing must be a priority for our state,” said Gov. John Carney. “We have a lot of work to do, but we are moving in the right direction. We are making historic investments in housing throughout Delaware, and the data collected in the Housing Needs Assessment will help us to identify the most effective solutions. I want to thank the Delaware State Housing Authority and all of our partners for their efforts.” “Together, I’m confident that we can make Delaware the perfect place to live for all current and future residents,” said Eugene Young Jr., director of DSHA. “I want to thank Root Policy Research and the DSHA staff for their hard work today and over the past few months. We are proud of this report and can’t wait for the full release later this fall.”

Republican Club to host election integrity discussion The 38th District Republican Club will host a discussion of election integrity on Monday, Oct. 23, at 6:30 p.m. at the Roxana fire station, 35943 Zion Church Road, Frankford. “Election Integrity — Where Are We Now” will be presented by Dan Lesh Lesher, a member of the Delaware GOP Election Integrity Committee. The club met at the Fenwick Crab House for their monthly meeting in September. During the meeting, state Sen. Gerald Hocker delivered a presentation on the club’s history. As the oldest and largest Republican club in Delaware, boasting a membership of more than 100 individuals, he highlighted the club’s original founders, ongoing goals to aid Republican candi-
dates and presence in the community. State Rep. Ron Gray focused his discussion on current legislative topics. Specifically, he delved into the electric school-bus mandate, examining the potential implications and expenses associated with that initiative. County Councilman Doug Hudson addressed the ongoing property tax reassessment. The 38th District Republican Club meets on the fourth Monday of every month and is open to new members to join. Meetings are regularly attended by Hocker, Gray and Hudson. For additional information on the 38th District Republican Club, go to www.38thdrcp.com or email info@38thdrcp.com.

Hall-Long, White kick off opioid-abuse prevention campaign Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long and NFL Hall of Famer Randy White joined forces with Delaware coaches and student-athletes in New Castle and Kent counties last weekend to kick off the Coaches vs. Overdoses initiative to curb prescription opioid abuse in Delaware. The initiative is part of a national campaign designed to foster a proactive prevention and drug disposal blitz targeting opioid abuse and overdose deaths, especially among student-athletes. The two-day event, held at Thomas McKean High School in Wilmington and Caesar Rodney High School in Camden, took place during National Substance Abuse Prevention Month, which helps to educate communities about the dangers of substance abuse, especially among younger Americans. “Far too many of us know someone

struggling with substance use disorder,” said Hall-Long, Ph.D., R.N. “As chair of Delaware’s Behavioral Health Consortium, I’ve seen the impact this epidemic has had on communities and families throughout Delaware. The good news is that we are fighting back to bench opioids and save lives. Through the Coaches vs. Overdoses initiative, we are working to educate student athletes and parents about the dangers of opioids and promote the prevention and treatment resources available here in Delaware. I want to thank the many partners of this initiative, including the NFL, and encourage everyone to pick up and learn about our Prevention Playbooks.” Hall-Long and White, a native Delawarean, were featured speakers during the halftimes of both games. As part of the two-day event, White spoke at his alma mater, Thomas McKean High School, about the recent loss of his son-in-law due to a prescription drug overdose. “I am honored to bring the Coaches vs. Overdoses program to my home state of Delaware,” said White, former Dallas Cowboy and Pro Football Hall
of Famer. “I unfortunately lost my sonin-law to an overdose and am now helping to raise my grandson. I am dedicated to spreading awareness and education on this issue and thrilled to work with coaches across the country on this initiative to protect our youth.” As part of the initiative, “Prevention Playbooks” have been distributed to Delaware schools throughout the state in coordination with the DIAA as an educational resource to warn about the dangers of prescription opioid misuse. The initiative also features public service announcements and free take-home drug disposal kits to encourage the proper disposal of unused medication. DisposeRx, a national medication disposal company, has partnered with the Delaware Department of Education and the Delaware State Police to distribute safe drug-disposal kits to Delaware students and families. The fall initiative builds on prior substance-use awareness work that focused on outreach in collaboration with the DIAA and high school basketball teams. “We are proud to partner with the
State of Delaware on the Coaches vs. Overdoses effort, to educate families about the risks associated with both prescription and counterfeit drug misuse and to stress the importance of safe medication disposal,” said William Simpson, president and chief executive officer of DisposeRx Inc. “Prevention and education are critical to mitigating the overdose crisis, as is ensuring communities across the country understand the importance of properly disposing of unused medications.” “As parents and guardians all of us need to be more aware about potential dangers to our families in our own homes,” Secretary of Education Mark Holodick said. “We’re proud to partner with the lieutenant governor and Delaware State Police to help get this tool to our families.” Recent data shows that about 70 percent of teens who misuse opioids get them from friends or relatives. According to the National Institutes for Health, over 28 percent of student athletes will receive an opioid preSee CAMPAIGN page 39

Campaign Continued from page 38 scription at some point, one of the highest rates of any student population. As of Sept. 21, Delaware data showed a total of 360 people had died from a suspected drug overdose. “Football games bring our communities together,” said Safety & Homeland Security Secretary Nathaniel McQueen Jr. “While sports can be a source of physical and mental strength, they can also expose young individuals to unique risks, including the misuse of prescription opioids. As the opioid crisis evolves, so must our response. Increasing the awareness of high school athletes is essential to our efforts. By educating communities, offering support, advocating for change, and practicing prevention, we can make a difference.” “DIAA piloted this program at our boys, girls and unified basketball championships in the spring, and is pleased to continue this partnership to support the health and safety of our student athletes, their families and fans,” DIAA Executive Director David Baylor said. The Sussex County Health Coalition, which coordinates the Delaware Goes Purple campaign each October, was also on hand to provide educational resources and talk with attendees about the dangers of opioids. “The Coaches vs. Overdoses initiative is a wonderful opportunity for Delaware Goes Purple to raise awareness about the dangers of substance abuse in our community,” said Peggy Geisler, executive director of the Sussex County Health Coalition. “We are thrilled to join forces with the Coaches vs. Overdoses national campaign to underscore the importance of educating our youth and their families on this very serious issue.” “DSCYF is a proud partner of the Coaches vs. Overdoses events and believe the Playbook provides valuable resources and information all families can use” said Shelly Lazorchak, director of prevention services for the Division of Prevention & Behavioral Health Services, part of the Department of Services for Children, Youth & Their Families. “Providing youth and adults information on the facts about substance misuse and educating them on the real dangers of the substances available today can be lifesaving! We encourage adults to talk to kids about substance misuse and urge everyone to safely store prescription medications — and other substances — from easy access, and to destroy any unused medications at home. Prevention works!”

Navarro announces workers’ comp decrease New rates will be effective Dec. 1 Insurance Commissioner Trinidad Navarro announced recently that workers’ compensation insurance rates will decrease for the seventh year in a row, effective Dec. 1. The voluntary market is expected to decrease 7.24 percent, while the residual market will see a reduction of 11.18 percent. “From the start of my administration to today, Delaware’s local businesses have never seen a worker’s compensation rate increase. We started with some of the highest costs in the country, and endured a pandemic, yet our reforms are still proving themselves to be effective,” said Navarro. “Most importantly, businesses are doing their part by commit-
ting to reducing risk through employee protections and creating safe work environments. I’m proud to announce yet another decrease. Delaware businesses deserve it.” This year’s decrease in worker’s compensation insurance rates continues the reversal of voluntary and residual market trends, officials noted. With the residual market expected to see a greater rate decrease, it shows that companies who previously could only obtain coverage in this ‘last resort’ market, due to cost, high risk, or claims history, can now obtain traditional voluntary market coverage, they said. This is the second year of this trend, which indicates substantial improvement in coverage affordability and employee safety, they noted. Workers’ compensation insurance
provides coverage when an employee is hurt on the job and can provide medical coverage, as well as payments for lost wages if a person is unable to work due to their injury. Lower premiums don’t change the amount of compensation an injured employee receives. Final rates are expected to be announced later this fall, following a confirmation of the Delaware Compensation Rating Bureau (DCRB) filing by independent actuaries, and a public hearing with DCRB and the State’s Ratepayer Advocate. Actual savings will vary by policy. The lower rates are just one component of several department efforts to help businesses. More than 1,100 employers are saving even more on their premiums by participating in the department’s Workplace Safety Program, saving approximately $6.9 million last year. Eligible businesses can earn up to a 19 percent discount on their insurance by successfully undergoing annual safety
inspections and complying with recommendations. Importantly, employees may also benefit directly from employer-based safety goals — for example, a workplace may offer bonuses if there are no injuries in a given timeframe and pass on the savings to workers. Businesses eligible for the Workplace Safety Program are notified each year seven months prior to their renewal date. Organizations interested in participating can access questionnaires online and contact safety@delaware.gov to begin the process. The department has updated the Inspection Fee Schedule for program participants, as indicated on the questionnaire. Workplace Safety Program inspectors are independent safety professionals contracted by the department, not state employees or OSHA. Only benefits can be gained by participating. Failure to qualify cannot be the basis for premium increases or sanctions imposed by other safety officials.

La Red provides free haircuts to Springboard Village residents La Red Health Center recently partnered with Seaford-based Imagination Hair Styles Unisex Salon to offer individuals experiencing homelessness free haircuts and beard trims. The La Red team and two stylists from Imagination Hair Styles provided haircuts to about 30 individuals on Wednesday, Oct. 11, at the Springboard Village in Georgetown. La Red’s community outreach staff also distributed homeless-shelter kits to individuals. The team set up a makeshift salon and scheduled appointments with both men and women at the village. During the appointments, individuals carried on conversations, joked, laughed and admired their new styles. Homelessness continues to be a growing problem in Delaware and in Sussex County, noted La Red representatives. According to the 2023 Point in Time Count report issued by Housing Alliance Delaware, the number of people counted as unsheltered increased from 154 people in 2022 to 198 in 2023, a 28 percent increase. The study also found that the number of Delawareans living in emergency shelters, transitional housing or hotels paid by a charitable voucher was 1,091 in 2023. The report found that 32.7 percent of individuals who were unsheltered were in Sussex County, and 15 percent of those experiencing homelessness but were sheltered also were from Sussex County. The link between homelessness and chronic illness is strong, La Red representatives noted. According the National Health Care for the Homeless Council, chronic illness or injury can lead to job losses, loss of income and ultimately loss of housing. People who are experiencing homelessness also have higher rates of diabetes, hypertension, heart attacks, HIV, hepatitis C, depression and substance-use disorder, according to the council. Part of La Red’s mission is to connect Sussex County’s homeless population with healthcare services that can change the trajectory of their health and housing situation. La Red seeks to make those connections through its community outreach efforts and its bilingual community outreach staff in its behavioral unit. “At La Red, we treat the whole person,” said John Russum, director of La Red’s Behavioral Health Unit. “The personal connections made through getting a haircut is meaningful. It builds a bridge for individuals experiencing homelessness so they feel comfortable receiving healthcare services, which can make a huge difference in their overall health and well-being.” La Red offers haircuts at the Springboard Village in the fall and the spring. To learn more about La Red and the work it does with individuals experienc-
ing homelessness, visit www.LaRedHealthCenter.org. Springboard Village offers individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness dignified cabins and engagement as a stepping-stone to long-lasting housing. The village opened in Georgetown in 2023. La Red Health, a federally qualified health center in Sussex County, Del, has provided quality healthcare for individuals and families since 2001. La Red offers primary healthcare, pediatrics, women’s health services and mental health services at its three locations in Milford, Seaford and Georgetown. La Red also offers dental services at its Milford and Georgetown locations. For more information about La Red Health Center, visit www.laredhealthcenter.org/.

Nominations open for local Tourism Awards Tourism is a $2.7 billion (and growing) industry in Sussex County. In fact, more than 23,000 jobs in the county are tourism-related. Tourism revenue saves each Delaware household more than $1,600 in taxes each year, according to Southern Delaware Tourism officials. “This is definitely due, in large part, to our fortunate geographical location and our beautiful 5 Star beaches — but it’s also the result of a lot of initiative, creativity, planning and hard work by the many people and organizations who strive to keep up with changing travel trends and to create and provide the types of attractions, events, activities, and services that drive visitors to Sussex County.” Area residents and businesses are being asked to nominate groups or individuals who have made significant con-
tributions to the tourism industry in Sussex County between October 2022 and October 2023. Nominations must be completed and submitted by Friday, Nov. 3, to be considered.

Lord Baltimore Lions sponsor drug-awareness, -prevention effort The Lord Baltimore Lions Club supports drug-awareness and -prevention education in public schools. Studies indicate that 80 percent of learning achieved is through vision, and posters with drug-awareness messages are a good way to reach students in school, representatives said. In September, the Lord Baltimore Lions Club presented a $200 donation to Vice Principal Barkley Heck at Lord Baltimore Elementary School and Principal Jason Macrides of Selbyville Middle School to be used to purchase drug-awareness posters of their choosing for their schools. The school personnel identified commercial sources for professional drug-awareness posters suitable for their students and used the Lions Club donation to pay for them. Both schools have purchased posters that they deemed appropriate and have them hanging in their schools. The posters that Lord Baltimore purchased says, “Pledge to be drug-free.” What does such a pledge sound like? The Drug Enforcement Agency provides drug-awareness training to school children and their pledge reads, “I pledge to keep my dreams alive and be all that I can be. I pledge

nity?” Lions Club representatives suggested. At the Selbyville Middle School, their poster messages say, “Drugs destroy dreams. Say no to drugs.” Another poster says, “Drugs destroy
dreams. Think before you choose to be a dream killer.” The posters are displayed next to the two 7-foot vaping epidemic and vaping marijuana posters that were paid for by Attack Addiction a few years ago.

Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program benefits expiring The Delaware Department of Agriculture (DDA) is reminding senior Delawareans who registered to participate in the Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program to visit local farmers’ markets and on-farm markets to use their benefits before they expire on Oct. 31.

With a new system in place, participants received their SFMNP benefits card pre-loaded with $50 to purchase fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs and honey at local farmers’ markets and on-farm markets. According to DDA Marketing Specialist Kathy Jackson, “Our registration for these benefits was extremely successful in late May and early June. However, we know nearly 400 of our senior participants have not used their benefits yet. With only six weeks left in the program, we don’t want these benefits to go

Meoli Companies awards $10K in scholarships to McDonald’s employees The Meoli Companies — which is headquartered in Rehoboth Beach, and owns and operates 25 McDonald’s restaurants across the Delmarva Peninsula — has awarded a total of $10,000 in scholarships to five employees who recently graduated from local high schools. The funds are being awarded as a part of Meoli Companies annual scholarship program that supports hardworking employees who are headed to college. Recipients of the awards include: • Jonathan Brittingham of Selbyville, attending the University of Delaware; • Henry Grote of Selbyville, attending Liberty University, in Lynchburg, Va.; • McKenzie Tubbs of Millsboro, attending the University of Delaware; • Faith Johnson of Denton, Md., attending Penn State University; and • Monique Payne of Dover, attending Delaware State University. The scholarship application asked students questions that focused on the employee’s overall story, their presence in the community, challenges they have overcome and plans for their education. “While we respect the importance of a student’s GPA as a demonstration of their commitment to learning, we consider many more attributes to ensure we have a wellrounded picture of the individuals we consider for a scholarship,” said Michael A. Meoli, owner and operator of the Meoli Family McDonald’s Restaurants. “The response was overwhelming and speaks to the incredible stories these graduates have to share. “For nearly 30 years, we’ve been committed to delivering a gold standard experience for our McDonald’s customers each and every time they visit our restaurants, and that starts by hiring outstanding people. Often, we are the first job for many of our high-school employees. Nothing pleases us more than to see them go on to future success and to support that journey.” Recipients were selected based on their demonstrated leadership, participation in local community activities, work experience, experience in overcoming challenges, and who and what has inspired them. According to the company, Brittingham really found his footing during his senior year, when he was cast as the lead in Sussex Central High School’s production of “Misery.” He was also influenced by being class president, serving on the student government, and speaking during the commencement ceremony. He worked at the Fenwick Bayside McDonald’s location for the last

He plans to become a therapist and specialize in family counseling.
Grote, they said, was active in clubs and the honors counsel, performed in school plays and served as a tutor at Delmarva Christian. However, he found his true passion in volunteer work —which included
working in an inner-city Baltimore homeless shelter, where he helped with renovations, served food, helped source donations and helped to minister to the homeless. He had worked in the Selbyville and Fenwick Bayside McDonald’s locations since he was 14 and is now attending Liberty University, where he is studying software engineering. He plans to be an app developer. Tubbs was an active member of the Indian River High School lacrosse team and Leo Club. She said she also enjoyed working with the Tim Tebow project Night to Shine, which helps students with special needs have a prom-night experience. A team member of the Millsboro McDonald’s since she was 14, she is now attending the University of Delaware, where she is studying occupational therapy. She would like to work with children with special needs as an occupational therapist, she said. “It’s not just about the food we serve or the restaurants we serve it in,” said Meoli. “It’s about the communities in which our restaurants operate. Each of our communities is unique, and we strive to find ways we can make the greatest impact in every one of them.”

Melvin W. Lewis On Sept. 26, 2023, a beloved father and longtime resident of the Ocean View, Del., area, Mel Lewis, passed after a long fight against illness. He worked as a house painter for most of his life and served his community through work with the local Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, ASPCA, the American Diabetes Association, and even helping found a group for children with diabetes. He was happy out on the water, boating, fishing and crabbing. He loved gatherings with family, friends, and neighbors, usually for a large crab feast and a game of horseshoes. In his later years, he was a fixture among the local poker league. He was proud of how he helped people, both as a painter and as a volunteer. He enjoyed pointing
out all the places he’d painted, including the stations of both the Millville and Bethany Beach volunteer fire companies. Lewis is survived by his sons Shawn Lewis, who will always remember how Mel taught him to stay aware of what is happening in the world, and Lon Lewis, who will always remember how Mel taught him about family taking care of each other; as well as his siblings William, Judy, Sam and Margaret; and many, many other family members and friends. In accordance with Lewis’ final wishes, he will be cremated with no funeral service. A private remembrance ceremony will take place at a future date.

Reinstein is survived by her siblings, Barbara Whorton and Andy Young of Bethany Beach, Del., and Margie Lance of Chestertown, Md.; and many nieces and nephews.

Jean Ann ‘Jeanie’ Sullivan, 80 Jean Ann “Jeanie” Sullivan, 80, residing in The Villages, Fla., passed away on Sunday morning, Sept. 24, 2023, at Generations Senior Living, after a long 20-year battle with Parkinson’s disease, with her family surrounding her in love. She was born on March 11, 1943, grew up in Johnstown, Pa., and graduated from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania. It was at IUP that she met, and soon married, her love and lifelong friend, Thomas Sullivan. They went on to have two devoted children, Dennis and Maureen. Sullivan and her family spent 35 years in Reisterstown, Md., where she enjoyed being a teacher for grades 4, 5 and 6. While teaching, she attended Western Maryland College, obtaining her master’s degree in special education. Tom and Jeanie Sullivan retired to Bethany Beach, Del., where their entrepreneurial spirit inspired them to open two Good Feet Stores in Delaware. After that venture, their adventurous spirit inspired them to tour the U.S. on the road in an RV over a three-year period, being home for only three months. Upon their second “official” retirement, they settled in The Villages. She enjoyed a full life, blessed with many activities with family and friends. She was an avid tennis player, was an intense bridge player amongst other card games, took lessons in country dancing and windsurfing, and enjoyed relaxing at the beach, especially at annual family reunions. While in The Villages, she was active in the Parkinson’s Fight Club and enjoyed playing bocci with
friends, even from her wheelchair. She also took up painting in her later years. Upon passing, Sullivan joined her parents, Wilfred and Emma Jean Boxler, in her new celestial home in heaven. She is survived by her loving and devoted husband, Tom Sullivan; and children Dennis Sullivan, married to Natasha, and Maureen Eckman, married to Dan. She has five grandchildren, Colin, Conrad, Luke, Aidan and Nathan; and a greatgrandchild, Porter. She is also survived by her sister and best friend, Susan, married to Tom Siefert, of Peachtree City, Ga. She and Sue would talk almost nightly, especially over the last three years. She is also survived by her sister Kathy, married to Mac Kroehl, of Green Valley, Ariz. A special funeral service will be held at St Vincent de Paul Catholic Church, where Jeanie and Tom are members, on Saturday, Sept 30, 2023, after the 6 p.m. Mass. The family is having a celebration-of-life commemorative reunion at Bethany Beach in November, for family and friends. In lieu of flowers, the family suggested a donation to the Parkin-
59
son’s Foundation at www.parkinson.org.

Indian River’s Jeremiah Dennis gets tripped up by Caesar Rodney’s #5 Jacoby Sheaffer while chasing for control of the ball last week.
IR boys’ soccer continues quest for DIAA playoff berth By Mike Stern Staff Reporter They continue to battle. And they are playing much better since their recent losses to Henlopen Conference rival Caesar Rodney and Southern Division foe Sussex Academy. The Indian River High School boys’ soccer team showed considerable improvement in recent competition, including a 2-2 tie at conference foe Sussex Central on Tuesday, Oct. 10, and a 4-0 victory at division rival Woodbridge on Thursday, Oct. 12. “The key is consistency, to play well for the entire game,” head coach Brandt Mais noted. “Sussex Central is a very good team, and we battled well against
them for the majority of the game. At Woodbridge, we played to our potential.” In the matchup with Woodbridge, junior goalkeeper Kai Kelley made three saves to record his fourth shutout of the season and 13th of his IRHS career. The standout shot-stopper also contributed offensively by earning his first career assist late in the second half. Kelley punted the ball to midfield, where Indians’ senior forward Jeremiah Dennis caught up to the sphere. He raced toward the Woodbridge goal on a breakaway before beating the rival goalkeeper for his first career goal as the Indians improved to 3-1-0 in Southern Division competition.
Junior forward Deny Cruz-Bonilla gave the Indians a 2-0 halftime lead with his fifth and sixth goals in a fourminute span late in the first half. Junior forward Leo Chester, who assisted on Cruz-Bonilla’s first goal, added his fifth of the season early in the second half to extend IR’s lead to 3-0. “We can still earn a playoff berth without winning the division,” Mais said. “We need to rank in the top 12 of the Division II standings to qualify for the tournament. There are still a lot of games to be played.”
Allowing another late goal One of those games resulted in a tough loss created by allowing a late
goal. For the fourth time in its last six games, Indian River allowed a tying or winning marker in the final 10 minutes of regulation. As a result, conference rival Cape Henlopen defeated visiting IR, 2-1, in overtime on Tuesday, Oct. 17. Vikings’ senior Donovan Sandoval scored the equalizer with six minutes remaining in regulation, and senior teammate Collin Sivels sent the Indians to defeat with a goal at the 92-minute mark. Junior forward Dominic Delaney had given IR a 1-0 lead with his second goal of the season, early in the second half. The verdict left Indian River at 53-2 overall and 3-3-1 in conference play.

Local triathletes successfully compete in Cozumel Half Ironman race By Mike Stern Staff Reporter The conditions in Cozumel were less than accommodating. Temperatures hovered in the mid90s with brutal, energy-sapping 85 percent humidity. It felt like the low 100s during the 13.1-mile running portion of the 70.3-mile Half Ironman competition on Sunday, Sept. 24. In addition, the Caribbean Sea became choppy toward the conclusion of the 1.2-mile swim. The athletes also had to contend with a challenging east-coast wind during part of the 56-mile bicycling race. Despite these challenges, all seven members of Team Bethany Swim Bike Run competed impressively in Cozumel, Mexico, an island located off the eastern coast of the Yucatán Peninsula.

Triathletes Continued from page 66 composed of local triathletes Sarah Gordon, Jimmy Keister, Gerene Behrens, Russell Littleton, Lisa Wynn, and Jo and Norm Scherer, who range in age from their 50s to their 70s. The team’s members train together and live locally, in Ocean View, Frankford and Fenwick Island. Competing against more than 2,000 other triathletes, Team Bethany Swim Bike Run members’ finishing times ranged from 6 hours, 9 minutes to 8 hours, 28 minutes. After each of them swam, biked and ran so impressively, they had compelling stories to share.
Jimmy Keister (6:09.20) Jimmy Keister had his doubts about finishing the running event. “The heat was so oppressive that all I could think about was whether I could complete the race,” recalled Keister, who posted the team’s best overall time. “My head felt like it was about to explode. I pushed on, thinking to myself that ‘You can do this — take your time, you’ve done the training so dig inside yourself.’ I look forward to competing in an Ironman competition in North Carolina this May.”
Gerene Behrens (7:28.10) Gerene Behrens never backs down from a challenge. She did her best to acclimate to the hot, humid environment. “The running event was the most challenging part of the competition, due to the brutal heat and humidity,” said Behrens. “It felt like more than 100 degrees, with high humidity, and it was the hardest run or walk I have ever done in my life. Some of the spectators sprayed us down with water, some sponged cold water over our heads, and most of them cheered us to the finish line. On race day, I felt I was ready but still was very nervous. “During the swim, I noticed that the water felt like an aquarium, because I was able to see all the fish and sea life,” Behrens added. “The best part of the entire experience were the friendships we nurtured and the bonds we shared from it. I look forward to returning to this event next year.”
Lisa Wynn (7:53.17) Lisa Wynn is no stranger to Cozumel. “I try to visit Cozumel twice a year to go diving,” she said. “The swim was great, the bike got windy during the second half, and the run was very hot. I was pretty sure that I could make the cutoff time if I just kept moving forward. So that’s what I concentrated on.
67
I’d like to do another Half Ironman, because this was an amazing experience.”
Sarah Gordon (8:02.21) Team organizer Sarah Gordon learned some valuable lessons from this competition. “I realized that I spent too much time during the bike event pausing at each of the nine water-aid stops,” said Gordon. “That probably added about 35 minutes to my total time. This is something I will definitely work on for the next race. And I’ll consider it a lesson learned from my first Ironman competition. I also learned that I spent too much time — 20 minutes — during the transitions. I have to be more efficient in the transitions during swim-to-bike and the bike-to-run events.” Gordon said competing in the Half Ironman was a life-changing experience. “Honestly, it was so much more than a race,” she said. “It was about friendship, community, love, support and comradeship. Being a part of Team Bethany Swim Bike Run is deeply important to me. I dreamed of competing in an Ironman-branded event since I was an adolescent. I will cherish the memories and am looking forward to competing in the next one.”
Jo Scherer (8:28) Jo Scherer managed to maintain her goal pace for the swim and bike events. “The heat was so oppressive that my run was slower than my goal,” she said. “Then my watch died at Mile 9 on the last leg, so I didn’t know how fast I was going. But I was psyched to see my friends on the double out-and-back run course. That kept me going! “As I was bringing up the rear during the run, I saw many people overcome with heat,” she added. “People were lying on the median with volunteers fanning them as they waited for an ambulance. Hundreds of people stopped and dipped their arms and splashed their faces in the ice buckets at the water stops. They quickly hydrated and refueled, but the heat was so oppressive. I look forward to competing in this type of event again, as long as I never see another bottle of yellow Gatorade!”
Joe Cusumano (spouse of triathlete Sarah Gordon) For Joe Cusumano, this was also a life-changing experience. The supportive spouse of triathlete Sarah Gordon became the team’s de facto photographer. “The most beautiful thing was to capture all the vivid photos of my wife and each of her teammates through race day,” he said. “The beauty of the island was magnificent! Team Bethany Swim Bike Run is an inspiring group of lovely people!”

Pickleball Points: Pickleball injuries and saved lives By Vaughn Baker Special to the Coastal Point Last month, USBankCorp came out with alarming statis-
tics about how many more pickleball injuries there now are. Quite a few non-pickleballers were very quick to ring the alarms, speaking before
thinking. The country boy in me wants to ask them this question: “Since there are now more than ten times more pickleballers, should there not
be more injuries?” There have always been some pickleball injuries — especially in those very first few lessons, when brains tells 60-
year-old people they are still 30. In fact, at my beginner clinics, I intentionally place trusted pickleballers to watch for, and catch, any over energetic beginners about to topple over. But even then, an ex-Ohio State running back got away from me and rolled over the shrubbery before I caught him about to roll onto Rehoboth Avenue. When we started to play pickleball in Ocean View, we were so concerned about beginner pickleball injuries that pickleball physical therapist extraordinaire Bob Cairo gave several free public clinics about the best warm-up exercises for pickleball. Rick Bell, a top pickleball instructor, likes to point out the obvious: “Do you want a turned ankle that might take six weeks to heal, or a lifelong threatening disease from physical inactivity? Folks sitting on a couch watching TV and eating potato chips and ice cream rarely turn their ankles, but their unseen internal injuries can be much more serious.” USB claimed there might be $377 million in medical costs associated with these pickleball injuries. Compare that to these statistics: U.S. cancer costs are estimated at more than $158 billion, and heart-associated costs are estimated at more than $216 billion — so $377 million (a tenth of a percent of total heart and cancer costs) seems like a pretty smart investment toward helping lower those other two monsters. Let me whittle it down: That alarming $377 million is roughly $10 per pickleballer! That’s right — last year, there were an estimated 36.5 million pickleballers (some say 50 million), now competing in one of our nation’s most popular participation sports. So it is logical that medical costs should be rising, but 10 bucks per year per person toward better health confirms it is a good investment, especially if it reduced cancer and heart costs by just 1 percent — a $100 return on your investment. Pickleball saved my life, because the aerobic exercise caused my heart to reroute blood through my heart. Multiple others have told me they were grateful to pickleball as well. I’m about to tell you about two unknown people who are See PICKLEBALL page 74

IR football hit hard by Brandywine’s big plays in 1A, D2 loss By Mike Stern Staff Reporter For all intents and purposes, the playoffs have begun for the Indian River High School football team. That’s what happens when a team cannot afford to lose another regular-season contest. In a game they sorely needed to win, the Indians dropped a hardfought 38-28 Class 1A, District 2 verdict to visiting Brandywine last Friday night, October 13. As a result, Indian River fell to 12 in district play and into a tie with 1-2 Conrad (2-4 overall). They trail Brandywine (3-0 district, 4-2 overall), Polytech (2-1, 5-1), First State Military Academy (2-2, 4-3), St. Andrew’s (2-2, 2-4) and Seaford (2-2, 3-3) in district play. Below them is winless Early College at DSU (0-3, 1-4), which will be IR’s next opponent this Friday. Only the top two District 2 teams — and potentially one or two wildcard squads, based on a points index achieved by victories — will reach the postseason. As a result, the Indians will have to run the table and win each of their last four games — See FOOTBALL page 71

October 20, 2023
Football Continued from page 70 two at home and two upon the unforgiving gridirons of northern Delaware. “In our first six games, we faced some tough teams,” said Indian River head football coach Phil Townsend after the Indians’ third straight setback. “Five or all six of those teams will make the playoffs in their respective divisions. We have to continue to work hard and focus on ourselves. Playoff positions right now are up for grabs, and we need to improve each week.” The Indians fell behind early against a high-powered Bulldogs offense that has put up at least 33 points in each of its last four games. Sophomore kicker Ian Cleghorn’s 27-yard field goal late in the first quarter gave Brandywine a lead it never relinquished. After junior quarterback Crisdon Wright capped a long drive with a 3yard scoring run to make it 10-0 early in the second stanza, IR sophomore running back Davon Handy energized the capacity Cancer Awareness Night crowd with an electrifying 40-yard touchdown run that cut the Indians’ deficit to 10-7. But Brandywine proceeded to capitalize on their rivals’ mistakes to score a pair of touchdowns in less than a minute just before halftime. Wright scored his second TD on a 2yard quarterback sneak to make it 17-7. After the Bulldogs recovered an Indians’ fumble, Wright connected with sophomore wide receiver Kahseer Williams on an 18-yard scoring hookup to give Brandywine a 24-7 intermission lead. “We had them on several thirddown-and-long and fourth-downand-short yardage situations, and yet they capitalized,” said Townsend. “Our defense has to be better in those situations. We did a good job against the run but struggled at times against their passing game.” Following the Bulldogs’ third TD, IR senior Rashad Hopkins appeared to bring the Indians back to within 10 points. However, his brilliant 70yard kickoff return for a touchdown, which would potentially have brought the score to 24-14, was erased by a penalty. “Rashad is a very explosive player, and he’s fun to watch each week,” said Townsend. “We had a younger player make a silly mistake. We will work on cleaning up the penalties and turnovers as we prepare for the remainder of our season.” Indian River sophomore running back/wide receiver Darnell Stokes brought the Indians closer in the third quarter with an 18-yard TD run, to make it 24-17. But Brandy-
Coastal Point wine’s Williams answered with his second TD of the night, on an 18yard run that restored the Bulldogs’ 17-point lead, 31-17, heading into the fourth quarter. The Indians never quit, however. Stokes added two fourth-quarter TDs on a 12-yard run, to make it 3121, as well as a 50-yard reception from sophomore quarterback Dylan Grise in the waning minutes. In between those two explosive scoring plays, however, the Indians were undercut by an 88-yard touchdown pass from Wright to Williams that made it 38-21 and clinched the Bulldogs’ victory. “We came out flat in the first half and made several mistakes,” said Townsend. “Brandywine took advantage. The second half, we played our game and had a bunch of success. We have several guys with a ton of heart. They fought hard for four quarters.
“Brandywine’s playmakers made some explosive plays,” he added. “We did a good job stopping their quarterback in the run game. But in the passing game they had a good night.” Brandywine QB Wright finished with 64 rushing yards on 10 carries with a pair of tallies, and connected with Williams exclusively on 6 of 12 pass attempts, for 231 yards and two TDs. Senior running back Kameron Campbell rushed for 84 yards on 18 carries in a strong supporting role. For the Indians, junior running back Jayvion Chandler rushed for 140 yards on 23 touches, while Handy added 92 yards on 10 carries. Stokes chipped in with 56 yards on 10 carries, while Hopkins tacked on 35 rushing yards on 12 carries. Quarterback Grise completed 7 of his 10 passing attempts for 53 yards and a 6-pointer. Defensively, senior Collin King
71 led the Indians with seven tackles, while senior Bryce Johnson added six stops. Stokes, sophomore Luis Hicks and senior Nick Butts added five tackles each. Hopkins also recovered a Bulldogs’ fumble. For Brandywine, senior Matt Barton led all tacklers with 16 tackles, while sophomore Brennan Grundy added 10 stops.
Early College at DSU is next for Indians at Homecoming 2023 The Indians will host District 2 rival Early College at Delaware State University this Friday night, Oct. 20, as part of Homecoming. The opening kickoff is slated for 6 p.m. The Indians defeated visiting EC@DSU last season, 62-28, to clinch their second straight playoff berth.

After a strong start to the season that saw them win five of their first six, the Indian River High School field hockey team has been up-anddown in October, to the tune of two wins in their last six. The squad suffered two more losses this past week, to perennial power Cape Henlopen (3-0) and being edged out by Milford (3-2) in an overtime thriller on Senior Night at The Reservation. Against the Bucs, the Indians fell behind in the first quarter at the 6:39 mark on a score by Milford’s Bailey Masten with an assist from her sister Molly Masten. It was the first of two on the night for Bailey Masten, as she also scored the game-winner on a penalty stroke in overtime. Falling behind 1-0 in the first, IR responded with a pair of goals by Ella Peterson (Macy Blades assist) and Bailey Williamson (Reece Forrey helper) to take a 2-1 lead heading into the halftime break. Milford got the equalizer in the third period, when Madisyn Hitchens knocked home a goal at the 8:54 mark. Neither team was able to break the tie in the fourth, which forced the extra-time session. The Bucs held a 14-6 advantage on shots in the game, while also holding an edge in penalty corners, at 12-7. IR goalie Jazmin Mayfield was strong between the pipes, making 11 saves overall. Her counterpart from Milford, Madison Stahl, made just four stops. The Indians were set to travel to defending DIAA Division I state champion Smyrna on Thursday, Oct. 19, for what was expected to be tough road contest. The Eagles are undefeated on the season, having knocked off national powerhouse Delmar earlier this season to end the Wildcats’ 110-game win streak.

Millsboro officials discussing voting districts By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter The Millsboro Town Council at future meetings will continue to discuss adjusting the size of voting districts, to keep the population of each district closer to the same. Currently, District 3 — which in-
cludes the heavily populated and growing Plantation Lakes residential community — is the largest of Millsboro’s three voting districts and creates an imbalance, Mayor Jim Kells told the Coastal Point this week. Kells said the disparity concerns him, “So what I am looking at is getting something to equalize that.”
He said he wasn’t sure if the matter will be discussed at the next meeting, at 7 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 6, because the Town is waiting to see what actions the Delaware legislature is required to take before district boundaries can be changed. “I will continue to pursue it. How we would handle that is the Town would
still be divided into three districts, but the change would be the layout of those districts. We would change the size of District 3,” he said. Councilwoman Kimberley Kaan told the Coastal Point that district boundaries were established by the town charSee DISTRICTS page 3
Layfield responds to civil lawsuit By Mike Smith Staff Reporter Bradley Layfield — principal of Sussex Central High School until he was placed on adminsitrative leave in response to a May incident at the school — this week addressed the civil lawsuit brought against him in relation to the incident by 18year-old Aniya Harmon, who graduated from the school shortly thereafter. The suit charges Layfield Layfield with intentional infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy and conspiracy to show publication of private matters. The claim for civil damages is rooted in Layfield’s alleged sharing of video of Harmon’s breast, exposed during an altercation at the high school two weeks before graduation. An assistant principal later allegedly created a meme caricaSee LAYFIELD page 2

Millville could look to make a big ‘splash’ at park By Kerin Magill Staff Reporter Millville officials got their first look this week at plans for a potential “splash park” that could be added to the existing amenities at Evans Park. The idea for the splash park came
out of a survey sent to residents in May, according to Parks & Recreation Administrator Liz Kain-Bolen. Among amenities prioritized by the 138 respondents to the survey, the most popular addition was walking trails, followed by a splash park, Kain-Bolen said. A preliminary proposal was shown to
the town council and the Parks Commission at a special meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 17, by Katja Kalinski, a designer for the engineering firm George, Miles & Buhr. “As you know, the park is a very popular place in Millville, thank goodness,” said Mayor Ronald Belinko, as he ex-
plained that the Town is in the beginning stages of its five-year revision for its Comprehensive Plan, which is the Town’s blueprint for development. A full update of the plan is done every 10 See PARK page 4

cellphone-based recordings, the plaintiff ’s breast cannot be seen and thus no harm would have occurred. Layfield and his counsel stated that reviewing the videotape was done in accordance with school policy to discuss disciplinary matters. “Dr. Bradley Layfield defended himself in Superior Court today,” said Neuberger in Wilmington on Oct. 10. “He filed his answer to the civil lawsuit filed against him, and asked that the case be dismissed with costs and legal fees assessed against the plaintiff. “He states that unless the surveillance video is stopped and viewed in a frame-to-frame analysis, which was never done for any school employee who reviewed the fight that day in the interests of school safety or school discipline regarding plaintiff ’s participation in the fight, plaintiff ’s anatomy cannot be viewed,” said Neuberger on behalf of Layfield, “and was never seen by anyone that day.”
Continued from page 1 ture of Harmon, comparing the incident to the Super Bowl “wardrobe malfunction” involving singer Janet Jackson. Thomas S. Neuberger, counsel for Layfield, in responding to the civil suit filed in Superior Court, asserted this week that Harmon “exposed herself ” by lunging at another student and having her breast exposed when a female assistant principal tried to restrain her and Harmon’s blouse was pulled away. Layfield and his attorney said Harmon brought the exposure upon herself and caused her own harms by initiating a fight, though video evidence and other testimony indicate that a physical altercation never happened. The respondents claimed that, unless witnesses to the videotape were shown a frame-by-frame and second-by-second review of the surveillance tape and other
“His answer contends that plaintiff ’s own unclean hands, in starting a dangerous two-alarm school fight, are the proximate cause of any distress she alleges.”
Attorney reports death threats made against Layf ield Asked by the Coastal Point how this civil lawsuit was brought by Harmon and her lawyer, Philadelphia’s Emeke Igwe, managing partner of the Igwe Firm and a former district attorney, with evidence of conspiracy and emotional distress, Neuberger was confident in his defense. Neuberger has contended throughout the complaint that Layfield will clear his “good name.” “As far as rehabilitating his reputation from the false accusations, in an attempt to shake down the school district for money with a meritless case, my client is getting repeated death threats which are being reported to the police.
October 20, 2023 False lies and rumors do nothing but hurt their target and incite others to violence. I hope those directing death threats are caught and punished,” said Neuberger. Layfield said in a brief exchange with the Coastal Point that he has strong support from the community and his family. “He reiterates that [the] plaintiff initiated a dangerous fight and in the course of continuing the fight directly and proximately caused her [own] anatomy to be exposed briefly, which was the cause of any alleged injuries to her. The cause of her injuries was not the viewing of the surveillance video by staff with a need to know of the fight to preserve the safety of students entrusted to the care of the school.” “And, by initiating a dangerous fight in front of a school security camera, [the] plaintiff assumed the risk that her anatomy would become exposed and be recorded by the same school security camera and subsequently viewed by school employees charged with protecting the health and safety of the many other students in the hallway who were endangered by her actions,” Neuberger wrote.

Harmon, 18, was a senior at Sussex Central High School in Georgetown at the time of the incident. She was involved in an altercation at the school May 17, in which she claims she was approached and attacked by another student. A faculty member at the high school attempted to pull Harmon away from the scene, and Harmon’s shirt was pulled down, revealing her full right breast. The incident was captured by a surveillance camera and, according to the complaint, Layfield subsequently shared the video (without editing out or blurring Harmon’s breast) with other faculty members at the school. The complaint also contends that Sussex Central High School Assistant Principal Matthew Jones worked with Layfield to create a meme using a still shot of Harmon and her exposed breast. According to the complaint, Jones superimposed the face of singer Jackson over Harmon’s face. Jones then allegedly shared this meme with other faculty members. No evidence has been shown that Layfield shared the edited image. Harmon and her family were outraged to learn of these actions taken by both the principal and assistant principal, according to her civil complaint. Both Layfield and Jones have been placed on administrative leave while an investigation has been conducted by authorties including the Delaware State Police. Harmon and her family requested that a criminal investigation be opened into the incident. See LAYFIELD page 3

Layfield Continued from page 2 Harmon’s complaint names Sussex Central High School, the Indian River School District, Layfield and Jones as defendants. The complaint alleges invasion of privacy, civil conspiracy and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Layf ield responds in Superior Court “Plaintiff engaged [the other student], told her to shut up, cursed her and started to attack her before plaintiff and [the other student] were separated
Districts Continued from page 1 ter in 1977. “What Millsboro has always done is anybody can vote for candidates in any district. It is all at-large voting,” she said. In Millsboro, two council members represent each district, and one serves at-large. “You have to live in a certain district to run for council, but as a resident, you can vote for anyone. That is how the county does it and how the school district does it. “I am not opposed to redistricting and figuring out, now that the town has
by a school constable and then restrained by two school staff, a custodian and assistant principal [Aerin] Donovan, a female, who held the plaintiff,” Neuberger said. Harmon, he said, “then broke free of Donovan to jump back aggressively and dangerously into the fight. Donovan grabbed her shirt, trying to hold onto her, and it pulled down, revealing one breast, for one to two seconds, for two to three steps, before [the] plaintiff covered it up, running again to attack [ the other student] to injure her, in the crowded school hallway. “Plaintiff and [the other student] got away from the potentially explosive incident. The white female junior was
taken to DSP Det. Cannon’s office, who was the SRO.” “School staff had issued two radio calls for help during the altercation. So this was thought to be a serious fight, and school fights are a major unpublicized problem in this and other public school districts throughout the State of Delaware, and they need to be controlled and prevented from escalating into serious injuries for any students,” Neuberger said in the defense’s response. “Unless the surveillance video is stopped and viewed in a frame-to-frame analysis, which was never done for any
grown, where the new boundaries should be, but I have a problem with district-only voting,” she said. Her concern, she said, is the majority of the council can take action on any issue and “impact our lives significantly — our property tax, our utility rate, my quality of life. For most things, we need a vote of four members of council to make a decision, so it upsets me, the prospect that, in the best-case scenario, I would only ever have a say in three of them, when four of them can really impact my life,” she said. She was referring to the fact that, with district-only voting, as a resident she would only be allowed to vote in the
election of the two council members in their own district, plus the at-large candidate, for a total of three. Kells agreed and said Kaan isn’t the only council member who dislikes that idea, so the council decided not to pursue it at this time. Kaan said district boundaries have remained unchanged since they were established 46 years ago “even though the town has grown considerably since then.” “The consensus at the meeting on Oct. 7 was to explore redistricting and a method and metric for how that is handled, and addressing in-district only voting after that process is completed,” Kaan said.

Park Continued from page 1 years, and it is now starting the process of the five-year revision. The survey was part of what the Town is calling a Master Concept Plan for the park. “We’re only talking about a concept,” Belinko said. “We know it’s going to be changed when everyone starts making comments and so on,” he said. “When you take a look at the survey, it had so many different things in there, and you couldn’t start putting things together without a plan in place,” Belinko said. Kain-Bolen said after the meeting that some other popular ideas for additions to the park included a dog park, sand volleyball courts, soccer fields, pickleball courts, horseshoe pitches, and spaces for flea markets and similar events. Kalinski presented a preliminary concept plan for a splash park, which she said took its inspiration from the town seal’s rendition of the Ethel Dukes schooner. She used a park being built in

Hilton Head Island, S.C., as an example of what a splash park built around the schooner theme might look like. “You’re not going to do this in one chunk,” Belinko said of the potential park improvements. “We’re talking basically a 10-year-plan, done in sections.” Town Engineer Andrew J. Lyons Jr. asked the council and the park commission to review the proposed park plans and submit comments to Town Manager Deborah Botchie within the next month. “We thought, taking your seal, we would give you a big pirate ship in the middle of the splash park,” Kalinski said. The ship would have fountains “shooting out of it. It has fountains around it. It is really the focal point of the park,” she said. “It’s not a little thing. It’s quite sizable,” Kalinski continued. Part of the plan for the park includes possibly closing part of Dukes Drive to traffic, with parking across the road from the park, allowing safer pedestrian access between the parking area and the park, she said. That would entail a process in which the Town would have
to receive permission from the state Department of Transportation. The southern end of Dukes, if shut down to traffic, could be used for more extensive food truck offerings for larger events, Kalinski said. Part of the splash park project would include a large, elevated pond that might be used for model boat races or similar activities, she said. There would be several auxiliary buildings, such as restrooms and/or changing rooms. The town council voted last week to move forward with bocce ball courts on the western part of the park property, near where the former Dukes family home was located before it was demolished during this past summer. The addition of “tree houses” to the complex could become a play structure for children, or could become miniature libraries, Kalinski said. She added that a permanent “holiday tree” could be located at the northern end of the park, near Route 26. A butterfly garden with an adjacent pergola could become a natural spot for wildlife presentations, Kalinski said.
The four planned bocce courts, which the council voted last week to seek state grant funding for, would be shaded by “sun sails” that repeat the ship motif, Kalinski said. “These images are just to give you an idea of what things can look like,” she said. To make the park specific to Millville, the ship theme could be added to walking surfaces and other parts of the park, she said. Lyons said it is far too early to estimate the cost of such a project, because, among other things, costs of materials and the choices of those materials would be a crucial factor in the overall cost. He did say, however, that the project could easily cost between $10 million and $20 million. “This is a huge project,” Town Manager Deborah Botchie said. “This is your first presentation,” she told the council members and parks commission members present. Of the preliminary plan, Botchie said, “We had to start with something, instead of a blank
plaintiff ’s anatomy cannot be viewed.” “Around 9:45 a.m., DSP Trooper Hudson, who originally was on site for a criminal investigation, was reviewing the origins of the fight, and he was shown the footage also, to assist in his law enforcement investigation. His need
to see it is self-evident. He is law enforcement on the scene of the fight.” “Around 12:30 p.m.,” Neuberger said, “three other staff members, including an interventionist dealing with discipline and a teacher along a hallway near the fight, asked to see the fight and were shown it, for the same reason stated above, to keep them informed and [the high school] safe [from] school dangers and dangerous individuals.” “Last, around 3:45 p.m. Dr. Renee Jerns of the central office and assistant principal Donovan asked to see and were shown the footage. Jerns was onsite for a discipline proceeding and was assisted by Donovan that day.” Concluding Layfield’s response to the civil charges in the suit, Neuberger said, the charges were, “denied, except
to admit that, unless the surveillance video is stopped and viewed in a frameto-frame analysis — which was never done for any school employee who reviewed the fight that morning in the interests of school safety or school discipline regarding plaintiff ’s participation in the fight — [the] plaintiff ’s anatomy cannot be viewed, wherefore the claim should be dismissed with costs and attorney’s fees assessed against [the] plaintiff.” The Igwe Firm, which is representing Harmon in the suit, was contacted by the Coastal Point on several occasions, asking for a response to the Layfield’s answer and the statement by Neuberger. No response had been received as of Coastal Point press time this week.

DOE approves hydrogen hub for Delaware What lies beneath Coastal Point
October 20, 2023
By Mike Smith Staff Reporter
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) this week selected the MidAtlantic Clean Hydrogen Hub (MACH2) — a public-private partnership between Delaware, Southeastern Pennsylvania and Southern New Jersey — as one of seven regional clean hydrogen hubs. Funding was provided by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s $8 billion hydrogen hub program. MACH2 is touted to advance the Biden Administration’s goal of a 100 percent clean electrical grid by 2035 and net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, strengthen the nation’s energy security, and create an estimated 20,000 good-paying clean energy jobs, including union jobs. “The green light of the Mid-Atlantic Clean Hydrogen Hub is wonderful news for the future of Delaware, our nation, and our planet,” said U.S. Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.), chairman of the Senate Environment & Public Works Committee. “Clean hydrogen has a critical role in reducing emissions while creating
Park Continued from page 4 slate.” “You know I’ve always wanted a splash pad,” she said, adding that some of the elements of the proposed plan, such as a beach area, wouldn’t work in Evans Park “due to our goose population here.” “The survey is not going for naught,” Belinko said. Although there was no public comment taken at the Oct. 17 meeting, Botchie said she wants the public to

good-paying jobs in Delaware and across our country. “As a Senate co-author of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, I’m so proud to see the Department of Energy acknowledge that our region has the first-class labor workforce, strong industrial presence, and existing infrastructure necessary to support clean hydrogen production. MACH2 will allow Delaware to cement our status as a clean energy leader and help advance our nation’s climate goals.”
Mid-Atlantic DEIJ focus Representatives of the National Wildlife Federation recently joined Carper, EPA Mid-Atlantic Administrator Adam Ortiz, University of Maryland professor Sacoby Wilson and others to formally launch an effort to help communities in the District of Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and Delaware better access federal funds to address environmental and energy injustices. The event, held at Trinity Baptist Church in the nation’s capital last weigh in on plans for the park in the future. If plans for the splash park move forward, Lyons said the project will be brought before the Town Council for approval in phases. “This is a master plan; each phase gets individual approval,” he said. Park Commission Member Pat Plocek said that, as the plans for the park progress, town officials need to be mindful of the possibility that the Town could need part of the 16 acres of park land for other uses, including a possible public safety building. Botchie said the public is welcome to

History buffs may note that Nov. 11, 1918, is a date that holds major significance in the life of the United States. On that date, an armistice was signed that ended the first World War. What some might not know is that three days before that — on Nov. 8, 1918 — one Harlon Talley was born in Pennsylvania. Talley, a resident of Selbyville, will soon celebrate his 105th birthday. Many area residents, as well as regular visitors from a few decades ago, undoubtedly know Talley from the years he and his wife, Mary, owned the Sea View Beach Shoppes — first in Fenwick Island, then in Selbyville and Ocean City, Md., as well. The building where the Fenwick Island store was located is now occupied by One Coastal restaurant. The Selbyville shop was known as the Sea View Town Shoppe. On a recent afternoon, he hosted his friends Janice and Tom Bunting, as well as this reporter, for a chat about his astoundingly long life. Talley sat in his favorite chair, at one point excusing himself to the kitchen, where he gathered a plate of cookies for his guests, balancing them deftly as he returned to his cozy living room with the use of a walker. When one visitor recalled shopping at his Fenwick Island store just shy of 50 years ago, he said, with a twinkle in his eye, “That’s where I know you from.”

Talley Continued from page 6 Talley was born in Drexel Hill, Pa., one of eight children. He moved to Sussex County in 1947, he said, on the advice of his friend Herb Jenkins. In search of “something to do” after his rounds as a milkman, he said, he learned electric work and plumbing. He met and married Mary, and they opened a store on Bunting Avenue, where the Ric-Mar hotel building stands today. After an incident where the building filled with smoke, Talley decided to build a store on Coastal Highway. “I decided that’s where we should be,” he said. “I said, ‘We’ll build a store and put an apartment in the back,’” he said. “And we just kept going from there.” They would later purchase the property where the Catch 54 restaurant is now located, which was then owned by Selbyville Manufacturing, and built a house there. At one point, the area postmaster asked Mary if she would take messages for him in the Fenwick store. “She said, ‘Yeah,” Talley recalled. “And by and by, he came back and said, ‘What you people need down there is a post office.” That led to the addition of a small post office, which operated in the rear of the store for many years. Although the Fenwick Island store
Yoga
operated as a seasonal business, Talley said an abundance of stock, thanks to an overly enthusiastic salesman, brought them to the decision to open a yearround store in Selbyville. The store was in a former real estate office connected to the old movie theater in town, he said. Later, the Selbyville store relocated to a former hardware store, Talley said. Then, the third store for the Talleys was on 64th Street in Ocean City, he said. During the years the Talleys operated the post office in the Fenwick store, he said, “We did everything. You could have your mail delivered there, and come and pick it up. We were a regular post office.” When the store closed for the season, the post office in Selbyville handled Fenwick mail, he said. “We were the very first store, from the Carousel all the way to Bethany Beach,” Talley said. “Now look at them,” he said of commercial development in the area. “They’re up to Williamsville and everywhere.” For many years, Talley said, his store was the only nearby place where visitors and locals could buy clothing and other essentials. “Toys, drugs, umbrellas, your outdoor stuff, rafts and chairs — all of that stuff. You name it, we had it — shoes, men’s, women’s and children’s clothing. The main thing was women’s clothing. Women can’t help but buy stuff,” he said with a chuckle.

grade, when I was in grammar school,” beginning with a paper route in his Drexel Hill neighborhood. “Man, I’ll tell ya — the hours I put in,” he said of his career as a shop proprietor with Mary. “But I enjoyed it.” He married Mary, he said, while he was serving in the Merchant Marines. He was sailing on tanker ships up and down the East Coast, and they decided to get married while he was ashore in Jacksonville, Fla. They met, he said, when she was visiting his friend Herb Jenkins’ wife with some other friends. “My life would be a whole lot better if Mary was still living,” he said. “She was my love.” Mary Talley passed away in 2009 at the age of 100. Their home is filled with antiques she collected throughout her life, including an extensive assortment of oyster plates adorning the dining room walls. “I liked to play golf, and she liked antiquing,” he said. Some of those treasures made their way to the store to be sold. Although he no longer plays golf, Talley said he enjoys visits with friends including the Buntings, and reading — particularly books of a spiritual nature. These days, he’s looking forward to his 105th birthday party, planned for early November. “I’ve been very lucky,” he said.

Taking a serious tone, Talley continued, “We were lucky. We had very, very, very good help.” “Everybody knew ’em,” interjected Talley’s friend Tom Bunting, who came to know the couple when his mother worked for them when he was a boy “and my dad played golf with him a lot.” Talley has been a member of the Ocean City Yacht Club since the early 1960s and remains the oldest member of the club. “Now, I’m a lifetime member,” he said. “I don’t have to pay any dues or nothing.” In addition to golfing, Talley said he also enjoyed working in his yard, maintaining gardens that Bunting said were “beautiful.” When Talley began reminiscing about all the remodeling work he did at the stores, Bunting said he remembered Talley taking countless trips between the stores to transfer inventory from one to the other. “He hauled clothes in a station wagon,” Bunting said. “With two poodles,” he said, “He’d go down 54 loaded down.” “He worked all his life,” Bunting continued. “Mary was the salesperson,” while Harlon Talley handled things behind the scenes. “They were businesspeople. ‘Peanut butter and jelly,’ I called them. They were a good pair,” Bunting said. Talley said he’s worked “since fourth

Assailant convicted in Cpl. Heacook’s murder Prosecutors have convicted a Delmar man for the murder of Delmar Police Department Cpl. Keith Heacook in April 2021. Randon Wilkerson, 32, will serve the rest of his life in prison following a stipulated non-jury trial in which he was convicted of 16 charges, including two counts of Murder 1st Degree and 11 other felonies. “Cpl. Keith Heacook served his department and his community honorably and faithfully for more than two decades,” said Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings on Monday, Oct. 16, in announcing the conviction. “He was stolen from us far too soon. We lost
that day a father, a husband, a brother, a son, a public servant and a protector. “In the days following his murder, and the vicious assault on two elderly victims, we committed that the defendant would be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law,” she said. “Today, thanks to the tireless work of our prosecutors and law enforcement, that promise can be fulfilled. Cpl. Heacook’s family, his brothers and sisters in Delmar PD, and the entire community of Delmar are in our hearts today.” On the morning of April 25, 2021, Heacook, a 22-year Delmar Police Department veteran, responded to a 911
call for a domestic incident. “Upon arrival to the residence, Heacook was viciously attacked by Wilkerson and was later found unconscious, having suffered multiple blows to the head,” the AG’s Office said. “He died of his injuries later that week, leaving behind his wife, four children, and a devastated community.” Wilkerson was later arrested and charged with Heacook’s murder, in addition to the severe assault of the two elderly victims that morning. Prosecutors convicted Wilkerson on Monday on two counts of Murder 1st Degree, five counts of Possession of a
Deadly Weapon During the Commission of a Felony, three counts of Possession of a Deadly Weapon by a Person Prohibited, two counts of Assault 1st Degree, Burglary 1st Degree, Assault 3rd Degree, Terroristic Threatening and Offensive Touching. Wilkerson’s conviction was secured by Deputy Attorneys General David Hume, Amanda Nyma, and John Donahue, with support from Lead Victim Service Specialist Deirdre Hudson and Paralegal Kristan Hudson, following an investigation led by Det. Mark K. Csapo of the Delaware State Police Homicide Unit.
Hydrogen
advancing hydrogen hubs nationwide is misplaced, ill-advised and will have devastating consequences for our environment, for the safety of future
generations, and is a misuse of government dollars that should be helping to advance the clean-energy revolution we need, rather hydrogen
boondoggles that perpetuate dirty fossil fuels and dangerous nuclear operations,” said Maya van Rossum, the Delaware Riverkeeper.
Continued from page 5 Davis, deputy director of the Choose Clean Water Coalition at the National Wildlife Federation. “The Choose Clean Water Coalition and our network of more than 290 nonprofit organizations in the Chesapeake Bay region is excited to partner with the National Wildlife Federation and others to provide critical resources that cultivate healthy communities and restored rivers and streams,” said Davis. “We are fully committed to alleviating barriers facing environmental justice communities.” The MACH2 project will produce, distribute, and use clean hydrogen to power hydrogen vehicles, fuel airplanes and support industries, noted officials in Carper’s office. The Delaware hub was chosen largely due to the highly trained, unionized workforce in Delaware and the surrounding area, as well as the region’s strong manufacturing, chemical and bioscience presence, and existing infrastructure capable of transporting and storing hydrogen.
Hub sees opposition from Riverkeeper The Delaware Riverkeeper Network immediately protested the allocation of federal funding for “hydrogen hubs,” which was announced in Philadelphia by President Joe Biden. “The $7 billion allocated under the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Act of 2021 throws taxpayer money at a false solution to the climate crisis by stimulating dirty energy development that will increase greenhouse gas emissions and pollution and degrade air and water quality despite claims that hydrogen is clean and an alternative to fossil fuels,” stated representatives of the Riverkeeper Network. “What’s worse for the Delaware River region is the $750 million earmarked for the Mach 2 Hydrogen Hub here in the Delaware River Watershed.” “President Biden’s commitment to

Delaware State Police arrested a 52year-old Frankford woman this week on a charge of felony theft involving a local Girl Scout troop. According to the DSP, on Jan. 31, around 3:14 p.m. the DSP Financial Crimes Unit met with local Girl Scout Troop representatives regarding an alleged theft. Kelly M. Raab of Frankford Kelly Raab was identified as the former treasurer of the troop. Following a 10-month investigation, troopers discovered that Raab had allegedly issued and cashed fraudulent checks, in addition to allegedly making unauthorized payment card transactions during her time as treasurer with the Girl Scouts, from January 2018 to November 2022. The total loss amounted to more than $12,000. On Oct. 12, Rabb turned herself in to DSP Troop 4, where she was charged with Theft over $1500 (a felony). Raab was released on her own recognizance.
South Bethany council members recruiting next member By Mike Smith Staff Reporter The Town of South Bethany is actively recruiting a new member of its town council, with letter-of-interest applications now being accepted. Residents have a 30-day window to submit their self-nomination letters to the town hall, until Monday, Nov. 13. The vacancy was created by the departure of Derek Abbott from the council. Council members will review the applications and appoint a new member, according to public notices and town officials, with the selected candidate to begin service in early 2024. Tim Saxton opened the South Bethany Town Council meeting on Friday, Oct. 13, by teasing, “We are making progress here. It used to take us three years to come full circle as a council, but now it only takes us about three meetings.” He was referencing several council matters in which the South Bethany government has come back full circle to its original thinking. Saxton also reminded the council members that it will now take four votes (of the six remaining council members) to pass motions. See COUNCIL page 12

Delaware joins $10 million settlement with ACI Worldwide Attorney General Kathy Jennings joined a multistate coalition of attorneys general this week in announcing a $10 million settlement with payment processor ACI Worldwide over a 2021 testing error that led to the attempted unauthorized withdrawal of $2.3 billion from the accounts of mortgage-holders. The case was investigated and negotiated with state financial regulators. The state regulators have entered into a separate agreement for an additional $10 million.
ACI Payments, a subsidiary of ACI Worldwide Corp., is a payment processor for a variety of third-party clients, including mortgage servicers. Nationstar Mortgage, known publicly as “Mr. Cooper,” offered ACI’s Speedpay product to its customers so they could schedule and electronically pay their monthly mortgage payments through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system. On April 23, 2021, ACI was testing the Speedpay platform when it erro-
neously submitted live Mr. Cooper consumer data into the ACH system. That resulted in ACI erroneously attempting to withdraw mortgage payments from hundreds of thousands of Mr. Cooper customers on a day that was not authorized or expected. In many cases, consumers were subjected to the attempted withdrawal of multiple mortgage payments from their personal bank accounts. The investigation determined that the April 2021 incident was possible due to
significant defects in ACI’s privacy and data security procedures and technical infrastructure . In addition to the $20 million payment to the states, the settlement requires ACI to take steps to avoid any future incidents, including requiring ACI to use artificially created data rather than real consumer data when testing systems or software, and requiring ACI to segregate any testing or development work from its consumer payment systems.

meetings in January.” In other news, Envirotech Environmental Consulting has been contracted to battle invasive plants and South Bethany has selected Envirotech to specifically take down the phragmites (invasive reeds) on the bay side, and especially in the Cat Hill neighborhood. “This is not new to the town and has been done in the past. It helps in controlling the invasive stands,” said Hartman. She said expected the spraying and treatment would take two to three weeks and cost $3,700. “Phrag is an invasive species,” said Hartman about the difficulty in controlling the reeds.
of $7.8 million is an indication of the overall health of the town,” said Ashley Stern, the Town’s auditor. “The higher the number, the more services the Town is able to provide.” This year, there is a new GASB accounting standard that was implemented. “If you are a lessee or a lessor, there is now a requirement of reporting items on the deferred income for leases,” she said. “The financial position of the Town has remained stable from 2022 to 2023. We saw a $4,000 increase in revenue and a $3,000 decrease in expenses, which was really the impact of the ARPA funding the Town used, and it was spent in 2023. You don’t have to recognize [ARPA] when you receive it, but when you actually spend it.” South Bethany used the ARPA money more recently. The budget increase overall was $1.2 million this year. “Forty-one percent of the Town budget goes to public safety. The second-largest expense is Public Works. That is what you want to see, with the emphasis on public safety,” said Stern. She recommended increased training on the Town’s new accounting software, which was already scheduled for this week. “We want to draw to your attention to the implementation of these new GASB accounting rules” on the leasing and deferred rental income. “It changes any reporting on the leases which the Town may be entering into,” said Stern. “Whether you are the lessor or the lessee, it will now show up differently as income than what you have seen previously.” “I want to thank Maureen and Renee on the financial work they have done throughout the year to get us to the audit. We are also looking at how we spend the reserves or allocate that money later,” said Saxton. The most recently concluded fiscal year ended April 30, 2023. “I will now move to reallocate the use of reserves,” said the mayor. The Town’s financial team noted the correct allocations include: asset replacement, streets and public works, and maintaining reserve balances for infrastructure and multiple programs for town maintenance. Randy Bartholomew, finance chair of
the council, noted that the Town has $4,997,865 that is now in reserves. Asset replacement and maintenance also has a healthy balance of $2,192,000. There were some town hall upgrade costs that carried over from the recent construction, of about $32,000, and the Town plans to retire that debt. The council also moved to update the Town’s investment policy to add language to authorize investments in four different areas, adding brokerage accounts as a platform to facilitate investments such as CDs and bank notes protected by the FDIC. The Town now has 16 different investment vehicles. Bob Biciocchi was appointed as chair of the Charter & Code Committee in a unanimous vote, taking over that board liaison role from Abbott. Tim Shaw was selected as a voting member of the Canal Water Quality Committee. With another CWQ member joining the resiliency committee, it was deemed important to have a vote on the appointed role of a voting member, as that extends his position beyond serving as council liaison. The Resiliency Committee is adding Jeffrey Kolberg, and “He will be a tremendous asset to the committee because he is a structural engineer by trade,” said Councilwoman Edie Dondero, who nominated him. The second appointment is for Saxton to fill the second council seat on that resiliency committee. Trash bins on Ocean Drive in Sandpiper Village were also addressed at the Oct. 13 meeting, and the town manager solicited bids for the containers. The first bid was $15,744 for 16 bins for construction and delivery. The second proposal was for $40,000 for 16 bins with a similar design, but the bid provided added labor to place the bins, rather than South Bethany public works employees doing that. Chandlee Projects of Bethany Beach was the winning bid, and the council approved the $15,744 funding with minor suggestions on which direction the bins will face. Ocean rentals of beach homes in Sandpiper Village range from $2,500 per week off-season up to $9,000 per week in-season, according to Crowley Associates Realty, and trash and open collection containers have been an eyesore for the high-end beach community.
Continued from page 10 Councilwoman Chris Keefe noted that the town council meeting agenda was quite detailed, with specific guidance on parking studies and trash collection matters. “This is not just talking trash,” said Keefe. “We have a very full and comprehensive agenda.” Town Manager Maureen Hartman talked about the council seat nominating process. “Yes,” said Hartman, “We will be requesting letters of interest starting on Oct. 13. There is a 30-day period for residents to submit them. If someone is appointed at the December town council meeting, they will start in February 2024, because there are no council

Towns take look at districts as they grow Millsboro officials are discussing the possibilities of adjusting the size of their voting districts, in an attempt to keep the voting numbers of each district approximately the same. And this brings up an interesting subject. Look, if you are either pro- or anti-development, the fact remains that the unprecedented growth this community has seen over the past two decades has changed things. Some things for the good. Some things for the worse. And some things... well, they’re just different now. Larger developments can alter the demographics and population density of a town immediately. Think of how Bear Trap impacted Ocean View. Or Millville By the Sea in Millville. Or, in regards to the Millsboro conversation, Plantation Lakes in that town. A heavy concentration of people in one area, relative to the rest of the town,
has an impact. It could determine how many sitting council members are from one area, or how many voters have a common interest and can simply vote in council members who will be more inclined to vote their interests. In Millsboro, Mayor Jim Kells told the Coastal Point this week that there is indeed an imbalance in the town now, and he would like to look at redistricting — in terms of drawing maps and making each of the three districts as close as possible in terms of numbers. The council is currently configured of two members from each of the three districts, and another who is “at large.” Residents can vote for or against anybody running for a seat, regardless of the district. We’re not sure what the right solution is here, but we are encouraged by the council taking a look at it and trying to determine what’s fair for all of Millsboro’s citizens. It bears watching.
Tech does save us from ourselves sometimes Creatures of habit, unite! No? Just me? There aren’t others of you out there who sometimes want to wedge an iPad under the incessant wheels of progress in hopes of returning things back to a day when things simply made more sense? Personally, I can do without the selfcheckout contraptions at the grocery store that only serve to make me look more lost than I already am while I hear groans from the folks behind me as I struggle to find the bar code on a grape. I Darin J. McCann hate having to try to reason with a machine or pick the right number to push when I need something addressed. I positively despise how people get their jobs — and often their self-worth right along with it — replaced by silicon chips, all in the name of “progress.” It makes me long for a simpler time, when we valued people, people valued themselves, and pride and self-respect were things that were generated from within. Can you remember that time, before we focused our energies on replacing people and human experiences with AI and Zoom meetings? You know, when you worked for what you wanted, owned up to mistakes and scrambled to get the 946-pound family dictionary that was currently being used to press your father’s tie when you needed help spelling a word? Scratch that last one. That part stunk. So, yeah, there is one little bit of technological progress and human-assistance I can get behind — spell check and the ability to search for words, synonyms and usage with the touch of my finger. Oh, it’s not perfect, and probably never will be due to the oddities and inconsistencies of the English language, but it sure does help. Have you ever been sending a text or email on your phone and you just start barreling ahead with a word you don’t know how to spell because you know in your heart that digital help is on the way? You ever find yourself double-checking exactly what a word means and its proper usage because you’re afraid of being “that guy” who butchers things and comes off looking like the doofus in front of you at the store who is trying to find a bar code on a grape? Have you ever found yourself in a perilous situation where your life, and the lives of everyone you love, can only be saved by correctly spelling “bougie?” You and me both. Well, to be fair, I’ve probably never used “bougie” in a text
message before. I’m pretty sure I’ve never even said it out loud. Heck, you might have just witnessed the first time I ever even typed the word “bougie” anywhere, at any time. But, according to the fine people at Betway, “bougie” is the top word that Delawareans spell incorrectly. Betway said they studied the words most often used after people enter “How to spell” in a Google search, and, when the dust cleared, the fine scrapple-eaters of Delaware struggled to spell “bougie.” Now, before we get too wrapped up in this spelling void in First-Staters’ spelling tool box, keep in mind that this isn’t a word that spelling incorrectly will result in someone’s death or dismemberment. Rarely will you get a text message from a loved one that says, “Help. Been kidnapped. Bring the most boojie...” It’s also important to note here that the third-place word in terms of Delawareans struggling to spell is “grey.” And... let me check my map here... yeah, we don’t live in Canada. Or the United Kingdom. We use “gray” in these here parts, Betway. As in, “That gray hat was too boojhie for her to wear to the chicken-pickin’ contest.” “Patience” found itself at the fifth spot on Betway’s list, and judging from some of the comments we get on our Facebook posts (you know who you are), that comes from people trying to spell “patients.” Same goes for the seventh word on the list, “lose,” which gets confused with “loose” and “Philadelphia Flyers” a lot around here. So, yeah, those two make sense. The 10th and final word on Delaware’s hard-to-spell list is “schedule.” And, frankly, I’m at a loss here. Curious, I found a site online, gingersoftware.com, that showed how people misspell commonly misspell words online. The most commonly way to misspell “schedule,” via Ginger Software, is “scheduale,” at 10.5 percent of the mistakes made with the word. “Scheduale?” What are we doing here, people? Are we trying to force a drawl on the pronunciation of the word by spelling it a tiny bit phonetical? Scheduale? That sounds more like you’re trying to plan an ale with a friend. “Hey, can you scheduale tonight?” “Nah, can’t make it. I have this boohjee event tonight, and I’m running out of payshense with these things.” “Gotcha. Maybe you can enjoy some kwyit time when it’s over?” Yeah, “Quiet” was No. 9 on the list. I’m starting to think we might need more AI in our lives now.

Letters Reader reaches out to Millsboro officials Editor: Last week, on Oct. 2, 2023, the Millsboro Town Council held a meeting to discuss changing the town code to ban cannabis businesses from operating within town limits. I am strongly against these bans. Cannabis has truly transformed my life! After a car accident in 2009, I was prescribed opioids, muscle relaxers and other medications. The side effects were harming my health and home life. In 2016, I was able to medically retire from teaching and sought better options. After one cannabis edible, I knew I had found a more natural choice that worked to control my
pain, anxiety and PTSD. Cannabis is much safer than alcohol and opioids, as no one has died from cannabis. Our community deserves to have a safe, regulated market in Millsboro. Research shows that opioid use and abuse declines with cannabis sales nearby. Having a dispensary nearby would reduce the illicit market and reduce crime. There are several liquor stores and a methadone clinic in Millsboro, and we are not discussing banning those. Adults deserve the choice to go purchase adult-use cannabis just as they would alcohol. This town is still growing, with hundreds of houses to still be developed. Research has shown that having a dispensary nearby attracts more people to the town. No one wants to drive
45 minutes to get their medicine. If Walgreens and Rite-Aid are allowed to be here and dispense narcotics, then dispensaries should be allowed as well. Millsboro’s website says it’s welcoming to families and professionals, as well as first for growth. Allowing cannabis businesses will help Millsboro prosper! Lizzie Golob Millsboro
Reader critical of town council vote Editor: The Town of Ocean View should be ashamed of itself for voting to ban retail cannabis sales and cultivation. In several years, they will be begging for the revenue, job creation and commu-
nity support that the cannabis industry would provide, and at that point, cannabis businesses should refuse to open here. Myself and several other folks who opposed these bans were the only individuals to show up consistently at town council meetings to offer our testimony accompanied by valid research, yet we were ignored. The mayor alleges there were “businesses and HOAs” that wrote in to support the bans on cannabis, but they never showed up to the meetings and these letters were not entered into the record. The mayor references the fact that medical cannabis is not banned in Ocean View, but where are the medical shops? There are only two, in Rehoboth and Lewes, that offer very limited selection of medicine and exorbitant and unaffordable prices. As myself and another gentleman, Brian Warnock, explained during our testimony, there are many barriers to obtaining a Delaware medical cannabis card and financial barriers, in terms of pricing of medicine. Despite having our Delaware medical cannabis cards, it is still cheaper for us to drive all the way to Ocean City and purchase on the retail side — albeit more of a hassle, especially when I am in pain or throwing up from nausea caused by endometriosis. We shouldn’t have to live like this — 21+ adults and medical patients should be able to drive within 10 minutes from our homes to purchase cannabis for pain or for pleasure. It should not be easier for me to purchase booze and cigarettes than it is for me to purchase a natural alternative, a harmless plant. The Ocean View Town Council flagrantly disregarded our testimony. We presented extremely compelling arguments highlighting their hypocrisy permitting and promoting alcohol within town limits and at town events, despite alcohol being the true gateway drug and a deadly neurotoxin/poison. The mayor said cannabis would “bring a bad element into town,” yet this is exactly what alcohol does, not cannabis. Just look at all of the alcohol-fueled fights and police activity just this summer in Dewey Beach, prompting police to establish a townwide curfew. The mayor also said, “You don’t know when you buy something on the street if it’s natural or if it’s safe,” yet if he listened to us, he would understand this is precisely why we need legal shops. Stephen Cobb questioned why neighboring towns would also ban See LETTERS page 15

Roman Jewish cuisine discussion, demo at Lewes library The Lewes Public Library’s Cooks & Books program, in partnership with Seaside Jewish Community, Edible Delmarva and the Jewish Federation of Delaware, will host food writer and cookbook author Leah Koenig for a cooking demo, discussion and signing of her new cookbook “Portico: Cooking and Feasting in Rome’s Jewish Kitchen” on Sunday, Oct. 22, at 2 p.m. The event will take place at the library, 111 Adams Avenue in Lewes, and will also be streamed live online via Zoom. Rome is home to one of Europe’s oldest Jewish cuisines, defined by its simple-but-elegant approach to vegetables, its love of frying foods in olive oil, its saucy braised meats and its desserts. Koenig will discuss Rome’s Jewish history and demonstrate two recipes from the book: Silky Marinated Zucchini (concia) and Chocolate Marzipan (marzapane al cioccolato). Participants will have the opportunity to taste Roman Jewish dishes and to purchase signed copies of the book after the event. Registration is available at tinyurl.com/zoomwithauthors or the Lewes Public Library’s website at lewes.lib.de.us. Participants will be asked to select virtual or in-person attendance. Koenig is a food writer and author of seven cookbooks, including “The Jewish Cookbook” and “Modern Jewish Cooking.” Her writing and recipes have appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Food52, Epicurious, Bon Appetit and Food & Wine, among other publications. She also writes the weekly newsletter, The Jewish Table. Participants are being encouraged to support the author by purchasing a copy of the book from local independent bookstore Browseabout Books. Books may be purchased online, at the store, at the event, or by calling (302) 226-2665.
Letters Continued from page 14 cannabis, and the answer is ignorance, discrimination, misinformation, goodol’-boy don’t-go-against-the-grain mentalities, and potentially pressure from large liquor companies and bars, who would see cannabis as competition. They had their minds made up prior to the initial Planning & Zoning committee meeting. They disrespected the will of the voters and are making it more difficult for adults to access cannabis safely, legally and affordably. Alexandra Miller Ocean View

Delaware Watersheds Photo Contest opens for entries DNREC is again inviting photographers of all ages and skill levels to submit their best shots and to participate in the Delaware Watersheds Photo Contest. Hosted by the DNREC Division of Watershed Stewardship, the contest is designed to share the beauty of Delaware’s diverse environment while acting as a vivid reminder that everything that happens on land directly affects what happens in the waterways. A watershed is land that water moves across or under while flowing to a specific body of water. Every acre of land and body of water in Delaware is part of a watershed. And the contest lens for focusing on watersheds has widened — unlike previous Delaware Watersheds Photo Contests, this year there is no restriction or limitation on where photos can be taken, meaning images associated with any of the 45 watersheds in the state will be accepted. The 2023 contest
opens online for entries Friday, Oct. 13, and closes Friday, Nov. 10. “The watersheds contest continues to challenge photographers to capture the unique beauty and functionality of Delaware’s watersheds,” said DNREC Secretary Shawn M. Garvin. “What better way of promoting the roles watersheds play in improving water quality and helping to manage precious water resources — both under threat due to impacts of climate change on our state. What we want to see in these photos is the outsize importance watersheds have — and have always had, but now more than ever — here in the second smallest and lowest-lying state.” A panel of judges consisting of a photographer, an educator and a scientist from DNREC staff will be looking for striking photographic images of Delaware’s waterways, landscapes, sustainable watershed practices, native
plants and animals and agricultural practices. The judging panel will determine the finalists whose work will be posted on the DNREC website, with the winning photograph to be chosen by public voting through the DNREC Division of Watershed Stewardship Facebook page. The winner will receive a prize pack including a $250 Visa gift card, a 2023 Delaware State Parks annual pass, a print of the winning photograph, and a certificate signed by Gov. John Carney and DNREC Secretary Shawn M. Garvin. The winning photo also will be published in Outdoor Delaware, DNREC’s online magazine, at de.gov/outdoordelaware.

ARBOR-LYN IS MORE THAN JUST HOME. Locals who live and work in Rehoboth Beach sure know a good thing when they see it, which is why Devon and Mustafa chose Arbor-Lyn. This community checked all the boxes for its' sought-after zip code, proximity to downtown Rehoboth, ample amenities, energy-efficient Schell homes and close-knit community feel. After visiting various communities, we fell in love with Schell Brothers’ attention to detail when it comes to building. And because we knew what our version of perfect looked like, the decision to make Arbor-Lyn our home was one of the easiest that we have ever made together. The proximity to both Rehoboth and Lewes makes it an ideal launching pad for exploring the beaches or bays in either direction. We had the pleasure of working with a well-informed, knowledgeable team that welcomed our questions while helping us to explore the full potential of the model we fell in love with. When we asked to see every possible feature, the team dove in headfirst and helped us maximize our favorite bells and whistles to give us the home of our dreams.

‘Red Clay Suzie’ author to visit Lewes library for book event
Coastal Point • Susan Lyons
A blue heron got a little reflective outside of the Coastal Points World Headquarters in Ocean View this week.
The Lewes Public Library, CAMP Rehoboth and Browseabout Books will welcome author Jeffrey Dale “J.D.” Lofton for a discussion and book signing of his novel “Red Clay Suzie” on Tuesday, Oct. 24, at 5 p.m. at the library, 111 Adams Avenue in Lewes. Lofton will be in conversation with Jeff Wilkinson, retired literacy specialist and facilitator of The CAMP Rehoboth Book Club. The event will also be streamed live online via Zoom. Inspired by true events, “Red Clay Suzie” is the coming-of-age story of Philbet, a gay, physically-misshapen boy in rural Georgia, who battles bullying, ignorance and disdain as he makes his way in life as an outsider.

No update yet on Bethany Beach police chief’s status By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter The Bethany Beach Town Council will determine what actions to take regarding suspended Police Chief Michael Redmon after his case has been settled in the criminal justice system. “At the time the case is resolved, the Town will officially review the incident and determine what the Town’s future actions regarding Chief Redmon will be. We have no control over timing,” Mayor Rosemary Hardiman recently told the
Coastal Point. Redmon was suspended from his duties with the Bethany Beach Police Department after being charged with driving under the influence near Selbyville a little after midnight on May 30. At the time, Hardiman confirmed the 56-year-old chief had been suspended and relieved of his duties as chief “pending the adjudication of the charge that has been placed against him.” “At the time the case is resolved, the Town will officially review the incident and determine what the Town’s future
actions regarding Chief Redmon will be,” she had also said at the time. Neither she nor Town Manager Cliff Graviet would comment further. Delaware State Police Cpl. Leonard DeMalto, at the time the incident, told the Coastal Point that Redmon, a former Delaware State Trooper who had been chief about 20 years, was stopped at 12:19 a.m. on Lighthouse Road near Old Mill Road east of Selbyville. DeMalto said Redmon was not driving a marked police vehicle, but it remains unclear whether the vehicle he
was driving was an unmarked vehicle in the police department’s fleet. It is against state police policy to release information as to whether a breathalyzer test was administered or what Redmon’s blood alcohol level was, DeMalto said. He said a traffic ticket was issued, but Redmon was not taken to jail or put in a holding cell. There was no accident or speeding involved, and Redmon was released to a sober individual, he said. “Each case is unique. It’s up to the judge,” he said.

The Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) announced this week that, effective Oct. 11, active-duty military and their dependents may qualify for a document fee exemption, as 2 Del. Admin. C. §2266 was amended “to assist with the transition to a new state less strenuous on active duty military personnel and their dependents, who are deployed to the state of Delaware.” The exemption includes the registration of a motor vehicle by a member of the military (active, reserve or national guard) and their dependent family members who are stationed on either a temporary or permanent basis within the state of Delaware and whose vehicles are registered in their state of residence or at their previous duty assignment (to include an overseas assignment). Military members or their dependent
family members must provide activeduty military orders indicating a temporary or permanent change of duty station within 90 days of relocating to Delaware or within 90 days of the vehicle purchase. “Active-duty military personnel and their families often relocate multiple times during their careers in the armed forces,” state Sen. Eric Buckson (RDover) said. “Figuring out new and innovative ways to assist these individuals to more easily transition to life in Delaware is important. I applaud the Department of Transportation and Division of Motor Vehicles for recognizing this challenge and meeting it head-on.” “Our active-duty military are no strangers to relocation, adapting to new surroundings and environments. Waiving the document fee is one small thing we can do to help ease their transition,”
said Delaware Department of Transportation Secretary Nicole Majeski. “The process to request an exemption is quite easy,” added Director of the Division of Motor Vehicles Amy Anthony. “As soon as you get settled, just bring your active-duty military orders to one of our DMV locations. If you have a family member who qualifies, they must also be listed on the orders.” The Military Document Fee Credit should be applied at the time of titling. For more infomation on the change, visit dmv.de.gov. The DMV also offers various services for veterans, including a Veteran’s Indicator that can be added to any driver license or identification card. DMV’s Heroes of the Highway program assists recently discharged military members with obtaining their Commercial Driver License.
Barbosa
Prior to joining Beebe, she served as medical director of the Delaware Breast Cancer Program at TidalHealth. Before that, she was medical director of the Clark Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Maryland’s Shore Regional Health Center. “Throughout my career, I have always said that I work at a hospital, but I truly work for the patient,” said Barbosa. “Doing what is best for the patient is paramount and is at the heart of my day-to-day work.”
Outside of work, Barbosa said she enjoys swimming, kayaking, photography and gardening. She is passionate about art and music and attended the “Fame” school in New York City as a voice major. Barbosa is married and has two dogs and one cat. She speaks Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French and some Russian. For more information or to make an appointment, call (302) 703-3595.

Continued from page 21 residency training at Peninsula Hospital Center in New York, where she was appointed chief surgical resident. Barbosa’s clinical training concluded with a breast oncology fellowship at the world-renown Cleveland Clinic. She has also traveled to the U.K., Brazil and Argentina with a commitment to adopting the latest oncoplastic surgical techniques.

Words by Darin J. McCann | Photography by Photos by Sarah Beth | Getty Images Wedding invitations give me anxiety.
Words by Taryn King During a time when various events, ranging from casual to formal, were faced with indoor restrictions, people quickly shifted their gatherings to the outdoors. While capacity limitations were still in place, it was easier to breathe (no pun intended) in the open air. In the wedding industry, that shift blossomed into creative and reimagined ways of celebrating a couples’ joining. One such notion became the ever-trending “luxury picnic” concept. Most people have been familiar with the idea of laying a blanket on the ground and sharing a meal with friends or family since their formative years. Sometimes, it’s on the cool grass in a serene park, sometimes at home in the living room (when mom wasn’t up for

cooking), and sometimes with our little friends in the back yard — just about all of us have memories of something representing the archetypal picnic. More casual wedding-related events, such as bachelorette parties, formal rehearsal dinners — and even small intimate weddings — embraced the idea of gathering with loved ones in a nostalgic setting with the added boost of professional planning. While we are no longer living under conditions that require people to keep their distance in outdoor settings, the luxury picnic appeal has not dissipated. In fact, there are now more planners offering this service than during the pan-

rest of us are part of the background, there to provide support, partake in a special moment and maybe wiggle around some cocktailstricken legs to the tune of the Electric Slide.
We’re window dressing, basically, and therein lies the rub: How should we dress? Specifically, how should a man dress when going to a wedding as a guest? Not as a groom. Not as a member of the party. No, those things are pre-ordained by the couple of the hour. Those choices are easy. This is when we have to dress up but don’t really know how to dress up. How do we do this? How do we do any of this? Fret not, dear readers. We have your back. But you need to do just a little bit of research first. It’s not all that hard, and there’s a very good chance the information you need can be found right on that invitation. You have to find out what kind of dress is expected. Let’s take a look at some options:

I can’t be the only one, right? Others have to see the top-shelf stationery arrive in the mail, or the eye-catching invitation that now arrives via the digital expressway, and feel a tightening in the chest and a shaking in the knees, right? Well, maybe it is me. But it’s not out of any disdain for the rituals of marriage or a public celebration of love. No, there’s very little that is more beautiful than the idea of two human beings pledging their souls and lives to one another in front of the people they cherish. It is pure and exciting and can warm the very sub-cockles of one’s heart. I just don’t know what to wear. Look, I get it. Nobody’s there to look at what some schlub is wearing to a wedding. They are there to see the couple of the hour — the reason for the season, so to speak. The

Real EDvice What are the pros and cons of a construction loan A construction loan is a shortterm loan (typically no longer than two years) that provides the funds required to build a property. Flaherty A construction loan can cover costs, such as: land/lot, building materials, labor, building permits, septic/well, etc. Some of the pros of doing a construction loan would be that you may use it to build a new home (vs. buying an existing home). You may also choose your builder, selections, options, and other upgrades or extras that you may not find in an existing home. Cons to doing a construction loan would be that payments on the construction loan begin once funds start being disbursed to the builder. With a traditional mortgage, payments don’t begin until settlement. Another con is that the interest rates on construction loans are typically higher than on traditional mortgages. Your closing costs may be higher due to
required inspections. I worked with a family who owned a lot for several years and decided to build. Since more than one year had lapsed from when they bought to when the permit was obtained, they were not required to pay the transfer taxes on the cost of the home, which saved them thousands of dollars! Anne Vogel Flaherty Prosperity Home Mortgage LLC (302) 437-5076 Anne.vogel@phmloans.com
New-construction homes carry some risk with potential delays in materials, unknown upgrades or last-minute change orders, Walsh and could have unexpected, unforeseen contingencies. In the past couple years, I had customers build their own dream

home. By the time the appraisal was completed and the borrowers signed the documents at settlement, some estimates more than doubled in price. Some construction materials which normally took 4-6 weeks were taking over 24 weeks to deliver. The overall project was $100,000 overbudget, but, fortunately, the borrowers had enough equity in the property and qualified for the larger loan amount. Customizing the floor plan, potentially saving money and low maintenance are a few loan construction pros. A custom floorplan allows you to construct your dream home that suits your unique style of living and entertaining guests. Having the ability to pick where you live, along with choosing all the interior and exterior options could save you money. Brand new homes have all new floors, appliances, a new roof and HVAC units that offer warranties. Not all institutions offer construction loans, so consult with your financial professional to determine if construction loans are offered and if it is the best product for your situation. Cory Walsh Taylor Bank (302) 541-0500 CWalsh@taylorbank.com
The good part about the construction loan is that the payments are “interest only” during the construction period, based on the cumulative
balance of draws made, rather than the total contract price of the job, so early payments are low initially. The downside of a construction Bayer project is that there are frequently delays, which can impact the permanent timing of the final rate. And, I have seen new “costs” appear that should have been a part of the original cost quoted by the buyer as a standard part of building that the builder tacks on to the cost, even though previously the builder guaranteed that the contract price was never going to change. So, it is a good idea to have a 5 percent contingency built into the contract to cover overruns, or it can be potentially added to the loan if the builder doesn’t want to build it into the contract. Once the house is finished, then the rate could be lowered if the rates have improved since the start of the project, which benefits you. Also, be sure that you use a lender that only has one closing, rather than two, to lower your closing costs. Keep in mind that the builder’s “incentive” is inflated in the price of the construction jobs, so the buyer is actually bearing the cost. Liz Bayer ProMortgage (302) 581-2035 LizForLoans@gmail.com

Through the platform, officials said, Delaware manufacturers will be able to better connect with each other, find local suppliers, mitigate risk, discover new business opportunities and manage their supply chains. “We are thrilled to introduce the CONNEX platform to our state’s manufacturers,” said Rustyn Stoops, DEMEP deputy director. “Not only will this help manufacturers in our state source materials and services from one another, but it will also allow them to offer their goods and services to manufacturers across the country.” The CONNEX Delaware platform will allow manufacturers to post Requests for Information (RFI), Requests for Proposals (RFP) and Requests for Quote (RFQ) in the platform’s B2B Exchange Center and quickly identify Delaware suppliers who can meet their needs. Delaware suppliers can also increase their discoverability by large primes and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) through their CONNEX profile, which catalogs their capabilities, equipment, processes, materials, certifications, and more. This will lead to manufacturing opportunities in new markets, they noted. “We are always looking for ways to help Delaware manufacturers achieve their goals,” said Stoops. “CONNEX Delaware will be a tremendous resource for our manufacturers and is another example of our commitment to provide manufacturers with resources that ensure a productive, efficient, and resilient manufacturing community.” Through the sponsorship of the Delaware Manufacturing Extension Partnership and funding provided through the CHIPS and Science Act, a local version of the platform will be provided for free to all Delaware manufacturers to connect with each other and find new business opportunities within the state. In addition,
Delaware MEP is offering manufacturers a free one-year upgrade to the entire national platform if they sign up by Dec. 6. This means Delaware manufacturers can freely connect with all U.S. manufacturers and discover new business opportunities across the country. “We are excited to be part of the
CONNEX Delaware implementation,” said CONNEX Marketplace President and CEO Alan Davis. “This dynamic platform will help connect and lift Delaware’s manufacturing ecosystem, align local, state, and national manufacturing goals, increase collaboration across all state manufacturing organizations, and
better connect large and small manufacturers across the state with new business opportunities.” Registration for Delaware manufacturers and suppliers is now under way. To register or get more information, visit https://www.demep.org/connex/.

Brightman pursuing bachelor’s degree at Albright College Blake Brightman of Frankford has begun higher-education studies at Albright College, pursuing a bachelor’s degree as a member of the Class of 2027. A graduate of Indian River High School, Brightman is studying business administration (marketing) at Albright. Brightman is joined by 440 first-year and transfer students. Members of the new class have taken an average of seven honors courses during high school, with 36 having graduated in the top 10 percent of their high school
classes, and 68 are eligible for Albright’s Honors program. The class boasts six Eagle Scouts and four Girl Scout Gold Award winners. Although their top declared majors are business, biology, psychology and education, the college’s Alpha program (designed to help students find their best fit) is also very popular among class of 2027 members. About 70 percent of new Albrightians plan to take advantage of the college’s co-major program, which enables
students to cross or combine different programs, without taking longer to graduate. This year’s new Albrightians come from around the country and the globe, joining the Reading, Pa., community from both coasts, 18 different states and 14 countries, including Croatia, Dominican Republic, Germany, Hong Kong—SAR, Iran, Italy, Japan, Jersey, Netherlands, Nigeria, Portugal, Skorea, Sweden and Vietnam. About 54 percent of them are non-white. More than 50 percent of the Albright
Class of 2027 will be the first in their families to attend college. More than a third will compete as varsity Division III athletes. A total of 18 are Albright Shirk Scholars, two have earned full Davis Scholarships and another 18 join Albright as members of the second Global Scholars cohort — living together throughout their first year, while taking a series of courses together in the fall and spring semesters.
Dilly Dally Cruiser Rally set for Oct. 21 The Celebrate Wellness initiative is committed to promoting wellness for the community and hospitality workers, all in effort to improve lives, through education, financial support and connections to wellness experts. Celebrate Wellness, led by Kathy McDonald, La Vida Hospitality’s director of Community Development, has hosted seven free wellness sessions for hospitality workers and the community. McDonald has also created an official wellness website as a host of resources and partners for all areas of wellness, accessible to hospitality workers at any and all times. Five more sessions are planned throughout the fall, each session focusing on at least one aspect of the wellness wheel. The wellness wheel focuses on seven aspects of life that when balanced assure wellness — social, intellectual, physical, environmental, emotional, spiritual and financial. The goal is to check in with oneself, evaluate how one is doing, and highlight any imbalances that might be preventing one from living a happy and healthy life. “Wellness is an active process in which an individual becomes aware of and makes choices towards a more healthy life,” McDonald said. “Wellness is something that impacts us all, and to bring that to the forefront, Celebrate Wellness is wheeling into something really great.” On Saturday, Oct. 21, Celebrate Wellness will host the 1st Inaugural Dilly Dally Cruiser Rally — a relaxed, costumed cruise along Breakwater Trail, designed for those who enjoy a leisurely, fun bike ride. It’s a day dedicated to camaraderie, joy-riding, and raising funds and awareness for the Celebrate Wellness program. “And the best part is, you get to do it in costume!” McDonald said. The event will begin and end at Schellville, with registration kicking off at 2 p.m. and riders pedaling off at 2:30 p.m. The group will gather after the ride at Schellville Fall Festival, with live music provided by Chris Steele from 3 to 5 p.m. and Go-Go Retro from 5 to 8 p.m. There will be local food trucks, drinks, an artisan market, Beebe Mobile Health Unit and lots of fall activities. Participants may decide to ride the whole 11-mile loop, part of the trail, or just come and celebrate wellness. All are welcome! Tickets are available on Eventbrite. This special initiative provides resources
that McDonald said she wishes she was equipped with when stepping into the hospitality world more than 40 years ago. She said the idea of a costumed ride comes from
her years in Key West. On the island, there was always a costumed event, and this first annual ride pays homage to that. The costume planning and excitement leading up to
the event are designed to create a sense of whimsy, and McDonald said she feels we all need a little (or a lot) more of that freedom in our lives.

Georgetown Elementary student recognized by SDARJ The Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice (SDARJ) recently honored Georgetown Elementary fourth-grader Adrien Batson for his leadership, effort and excellence. Batson was new to Georgetown Elementary last year, representatives said, “but that didn’t stop him from befriending many of his classmates and peers. His teachers say he is a wonderful addition to the classroom, school and community. Adrien is charismatic, hard-working and kind, and his smile is infectious to all around him. “Adrien dove into his new environment with enthusiasm, participating in various community sports teams. He was even named the Georgetown Boys & Girls Club Student of the Week this past summer.” One of his teachers said, “Adrien is a role model for all. He is the type of student all teachers hope to have in their classroom and one you will never forget.” Surrounded by family, Adrien was honored in a ceremony at the school and received a $20 gift card from SDARJ. SDARJ initiated the African American Achievement award to recognize students who represent the ideals of leadership, improvement, effort and excellence in their schools. Students from each school in the Cape Henlopen and Indian River school districts are recog-

NAMI Delaware expands southern reach NAMI Delaware is expanding its programming and services in southern Delaware to better serve the area’s growing populations and their mental health needs. The organization this week announced the promotion of Jacqueline Contreras, previously the part-time multicultural engagement coordinator, to Southern Delaware coordinator, a fulltime role with a focus on building programming capacity.
“Jackie’s proven skills and talents make her the right person for this role,” said Joshua Thomas, president and CEO of NAMI Delaware. “Given her passion for supporting people affected by mental illness, she is the perfect choice to further grow our footprint.” The position grew out of NAMI Delaware’s strategic planning process, which concluded that a full-time staffer in Kent and Sussex counties was neces-
sary to support residents in Southern Delaware. Contreras, who is fluent in English and Spanish, has worked with NAMI Delaware since 2020, primarily with the Spanish-speaking community in Sussex County. In her new role, she will build programming to meet educational and support needs in both counties, as well as assist with advocacy and the HelpLine, and represent the organization at meet-
ings, events and community activities. “My goal is to develop programs and events that strengthen the support networks for our families, organizations, and companies affected by chronic mental health conditions,” said Contreras. “I love the vitally important work that NAMI does helping people who live with mental illness. It crosses borders, boundaries, and language barriers, and I’m pleased to play a role in this effort.”

Millville’s Evans Park holds dedication for Blue Star and Gold Star memorials By Kerin Magill Staff Reporter The dedication of the Blue Star and Gold Star memorials at Millville’s Evans Park was a day to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice and to salute those who served their country. Attending the Saturday, Oct. 14 ceremony — which was held in the park’s Community Center because of the threat of rain — were veterans and their families, as well as members of area first-responder agencies, Boy Scouts, garden club members and local officials. Millville Mayor Ronald Belinko called the occasion “very humbling” and “very historical,” as it marked the first time in Delaware that a Blue Star Memorial, honoring all members of the U.S. armed forces, and a Gold Star Memorial, honoring families of those who died while serving in the military, are in the same location. Community members submitted names of active-duty military, Gold Star families and veterans for publication in the program for the event. Throughout the dedication ceremony, music was provided by classical guitarist George Bachmann and vocalist Tricia Gardner. Gardeners by the Sea garden club President Alva Hutchison told the crowd that packed the community center about the club’s partnership with the Town, as well as Mason-Dixon VFW Post 7234 in bringing the project to fruition. The garden club oversaw the placement of the boulders that are the centerpiece of the dual memorials and provided landscaping around the memorials, which are located at the northeast corner of the park, near the new pavilion. “We are honored to have our Gold Star families, our World War II vets,” Hutchison said, referring to Bill Cobb and Ernest Marvel. “What an honor, what a pleasure to have them with us.” “I know that there are people that you are holding in your heart right now, that probably brought tears to your eyes,” Hutchison said. Later in the program, Hutchison rang a bell as VFW Post Commander James Jensen read the names of 10 members of the armed services who died serving their country — one ring of the bell for each name. Gardner followed the remembrance by singing “Amazing Grace,” accompanied by See MEMORIALS page 33

The Town plans to hold a similar ceremony each year. Families are being invited to submit names of loved ones for the annual tributes. After the ceremony, three members of Boy Scout Troop 281, who had helped set up the room for the event and participated in the presentation of the colors at its start, sat together snacking on doughnuts from the breakfast that had been provided for invited guests. Ayden Beaver, 13, said he had never been to a ceremony like the one held at Evans Park on Saturday. Trey Deale said he enjoyed taking part in the honor guard and said he had thought while he was listening to the stories of service, “Man, this is awesome.” Gabe Ott, 13, said he found the sto-

St. Ann’s Knights chapter earns top award St. Ann’s Knights of Columbus Council 16771 recently received the Star Council Award for 2023. This is the third straight year that the council has won the award, and it is one of only five councils in the state to receive the recognition. The Star Council Award recognizes outstanding achievement in membership growth, fraternal finance programs, and community and parish support programs. “The Council wishes to offer thanks to all members of the community who have supported Knights of Columbus,” representatives said. During its fiscal year that ended June 30, the council raised more than $40,000 that supported local programs for the homeless, individuals with intellectual disabilities, injured veterans and first-responders. Justin’s Beach House, St. Ann’s parish and nearby pregnancy-support centers were targeted by the council. In addition, they also purchased and distributed nearly 200 winter coats to needy children and families in the community. “This most recent Star Council Award is a reflection, among other things, of the leadership team and the dedication of the members of our local Knights Council to support those in need in our local community,” said Tom McElroy, the Grand Knight of the St. Ann’s Council. L “Our council is growing, and our members are continually looking Sways to support our community confor Knights of Columbus sistent with the mission that is focused on charity and faith.” Membership in the Knights of Columbus is open to men 18 or older who are practicing Catholics in union with the Holy See.

DSHA shares report on housing needs Off icials, community members gather in Dover for f indings Delawareans, including government officials, nonprofit and for-profit partners, and service providers, joined the Delaware State Housing Authority (DSHA) at Polytech Adult Education Center recently to hear preliminary findings from the 2023 Housing Needs Assessment report compiled by Root Policy Research. Key findings from the report include: • Overall, 50 percent of renters in Delaware are cost-burdened, with 25,000 severely cost-burdened—paying more than 50 percent of their in-
come in rent. • Since 2010, the homeownership rate has dropped for all age cohorts except seniors, with the most significant decline among ages 35 to 44, where the rate dropped from 71 percent to 63 percent. • The composition of the state’s housing stock has changed little over time, with the most significant change being a 6,800 unit decrease in manufactured or mobile homes. • To keep up with household growth through 2030, the state will need to add 24,400 new units or an average of 2,400 units per year. Key takeaways from the report, officials said, include: • Securing additional funding and financing tools will be essential to ad-
dressing current housing shortages and meeting projected needs. Delaware has received unprecedented federal and state funding for housing in recent years, but more investment will be needed. • Planning and zoning changes are needed to ensure all Delawareans can access safe housing, regardless of income, age, location or household size. Even with additional funding and resources, efforts to address the state’s housing needs will be constrained unless state and local regulatory policies explicitly encourage the development of diverse housing types. • Cross-sector collaboration is crucial to making meaningful progress toward addressing the shortage of affordable units. This includes communication and cooperation among state and municipal governments as well as the private and nonprofit sectors. To view the Delaware Housing Needs Assessment Executive Summary and event PowerPoint, visit: http://www.destatehousing.com/Form sAndInformation/needs.php. The full report will be available later this fall. This comprehensive report was completed using data collection and analysis of various housing sources, stakeholder interviews and focus groups with residents, community leaders and housing advocates, and a resident survey. The report aims to inform housing agencies and local jurisdictions in prioritizing housing and housing-related services, developing more targeted program and policy responses, and better coordinating federal, state and local resources. “Everyone deserves safe and affordable housing, but we know there is not
enough housing stock, and home prices have excluded so many people from the market,” said outgoing U.S. Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.). “Thousands of people in Delaware today are able to afford a roof over their head because of our state’s housing authority working hand in glove with partners — including federal programs your congressional delegation works so hard to protect — to make Delaware a great place to live. I will keep working to ensure everyone has an affordable and safe place they can call home.” “The 2023 Housing Needs Assessment report findings are a stark reminder that the housing crisis in Delaware is real, and it is urgent,” said Matthew Heckles, HUD regional administrator. “My team and I in HUD’s Region 3 are committed to working with our state and local partners to secure additional funding and financing tools for affordable housing.” “We know that affordable housing must be a priority for our state,” said Gov. John Carney. “We have a lot of work to do, but we are moving in the right direction. We are making historic investments in housing throughout Delaware, and the data collected in the Housing Needs Assessment will help us to identify the most effective solutions. I want to thank the Delaware State Housing Authority and all of our partners for their efforts.” “Together, I’m confident that we can make Delaware the perfect place to live for all current and future residents,” said Eugene Young Jr., director of DSHA. “I want to thank Root Policy Research and the DSHA staff for their hard work today and over the past few months. We are proud of this report and can’t wait for the full release later this fall.”

dates and presence in the community. State Rep. Ron Gray focused his discussion on current legislative topics. Specifically, he delved into the electric school-bus mandate, examining the potential implications and expenses associated with that initiative. County Councilman Doug Hudson addressed the ongoing property tax reassessment. The 38th District Republican Club meets on the fourth Monday of every month and is open to new members to join. Meetings are regularly attended by Hocker, Gray and Hudson. For additional information on the 38th District Republican Club, go to www.38thdrcp.com or email info@38thdrcp.com.

Hall-Long, White kick off opioid-abuse prevention campaign Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long and NFL Hall of Famer Randy White joined forces with Delaware coaches and student-athletes in New Castle and Kent counties last weekend to kick off the Coaches vs. Overdoses initiative to curb prescription opioid abuse in Delaware. The initiative is part of a national campaign designed to foster a proactive prevention and drug disposal blitz targeting opioid abuse and overdose deaths, especially among student-athletes. The two-day event, held at Thomas McKean High School in Wilmington and Caesar Rodney High School in Camden, took place during National Substance Abuse Prevention Month, which helps to educate communities about the dangers of substance abuse, especially among younger Americans. “Far too many of us know someone
Artisan, hand rolled, grilled pizzas, awesome wine & local craft beer
struggling with substance use disorder,” said Hall-Long, Ph.D., R.N. “As chair of Delaware’s Behavioral Health Consortium, I’ve seen the impact this epidemic has had on communities and families throughout Delaware. The good news is that we are fighting back to bench opioids and save lives. Through the Coaches vs. Overdoses initiative, we are working to educate student athletes and parents about the dangers of opioids and promote the prevention and treatment resources available here in Delaware. I want to thank the many partners of this initiative, including the NFL, and encourage everyone to pick up and learn about our Prevention Playbooks.” Hall-Long and White, a native Delawarean, were featured speakers during the halftimes of both games. As part of the two-day event, White spoke at his alma mater, Thomas McKean High School, about the recent loss of his son-in-law due to a prescription drug overdose. “I am honored to bring the Coaches vs. Overdoses program to my home state of Delaware,” said White, former Dallas Cowboy and Pro Football Hall
of Famer. “I unfortunately lost my sonin-law to an overdose and am now helping to raise my grandson. I am dedicated to spreading awareness and education on this issue and thrilled to work with coaches across the country on this initiative to protect our youth.” As part of the initiative, “Prevention Playbooks” have been distributed to Delaware schools throughout the state in coordination with the DIAA as an educational resource to warn about the dangers of prescription opioid misuse. The initiative also features public service announcements and free take-home drug disposal kits to encourage the proper disposal of unused medication. DisposeRx, a national medication disposal company, has partnered with the Delaware Department of Education and the Delaware State Police to distribute safe drug-disposal kits to Delaware students and families. The fall initiative builds on prior substance-use awareness work that focused on outreach in collaboration with the DIAA and high school basketball teams. “We are proud to partner with the
State of Delaware on the Coaches vs. Overdoses effort, to educate families about the risks associated with both prescription and counterfeit drug misuse and to stress the importance of safe medication disposal,” said William Simpson, president and chief executive officer of DisposeRx Inc. “Prevention and education are critical to mitigating the overdose crisis, as is ensuring communities across the country understand the importance of properly disposing of unused medications.” “As parents and guardians all of us need to be more aware about potential dangers to our families in our own homes,” Secretary of Education Mark Holodick said. “We’re proud to partner with the lieutenant governor and Delaware State Police to help get this tool to our families.” Recent data shows that about 70 percent of teens who misuse opioids get them from friends or relatives. According to the National Institutes for Health, over 28 percent of student athletes will receive an opioid preSee CAMPAIGN page 39

Campaign Continued from page 38 scription at some point, one of the highest rates of any student population. As of Sept. 21, Delaware data showed a total of 360 people had died from a suspected drug overdose. “Football games bring our communities together,” said Safety & Homeland Security Secretary Nathaniel McQueen Jr. “While sports can be a source of physical and mental strength, they can also expose young individuals to unique risks, including the misuse of prescription opioids. As the opioid crisis evolves, so must our response. Increasing the awareness of high school athletes is essential to our efforts. By educating communities, offering support, advocating for change, and practicing prevention, we can make a difference.” “DIAA piloted this program at our boys, girls and unified basketball championships in the spring, and is pleased to continue this partnership to support the health and safety of our student athletes, their families and fans,” DIAA Executive Director David Baylor said. The Sussex County Health Coalition, which coordinates the Delaware Goes Purple campaign each October, was also on hand to provide educational resources and talk with attendees about the dangers of opioids. “The Coaches vs. Overdoses initiative is a wonderful opportunity for Delaware Goes Purple to raise awareness about the dangers of substance abuse in our community,” said Peggy Geisler, executive director of the Sussex County Health Coalition. “We are thrilled to join forces with the Coaches vs. Overdoses national campaign to underscore the importance of educating our youth and their families on this very serious issue.” “DSCYF is a proud partner of the Coaches vs. Overdoses events and believe the Playbook provides valuable resources and information all families can use” said Shelly Lazorchak, director of prevention services for the Division of Prevention & Behavioral Health Services, part of the Department of Services for Children, Youth & Their Families. “Providing youth and adults information on the facts about substance misuse and educating them on the real dangers of the substances available today can be lifesaving! We encourage adults to talk to kids about substance misuse and urge everyone to safely store prescription medications — and other substances — from easy access, and to destroy any unused medications at home. Prevention works!”

Navarro announces workers’ comp decrease New rates will be effective Dec. 1 Insurance Commissioner Trinidad Navarro announced recently that workers’ compensation insurance rates will decrease for the seventh year in a row, effective Dec. 1. The voluntary market is expected to decrease 7.24 percent, while the residual market will see a reduction of 11.18 percent. “From the start of my administration to today, Delaware’s local businesses have never seen a worker’s compensation rate increase. We started with some of the highest costs in the country, and endured a pandemic, yet our reforms are still proving themselves to be effective,” said Navarro. “Most importantly, businesses are doing their part by commit-
ting to reducing risk through employee protections and creating safe work environments. I’m proud to announce yet another decrease. Delaware businesses deserve it.” This year’s decrease in worker’s compensation insurance rates continues the reversal of voluntary and residual market trends, officials noted. With the residual market expected to see a greater rate decrease, it shows that companies who previously could only obtain coverage in this ‘last resort’ market, due to cost, high risk, or claims history, can now obtain traditional voluntary market coverage, they said. This is the second year of this trend, which indicates substantial improvement in coverage affordability and employee safety, they noted. Workers’ compensation insurance
provides coverage when an employee is hurt on the job and can provide medical coverage, as well as payments for lost wages if a person is unable to work due to their injury. Lower premiums don’t change the amount of compensation an injured employee receives. Final rates are expected to be announced later this fall, following a confirmation of the Delaware Compensation Rating Bureau (DCRB) filing by independent actuaries, and a public hearing with DCRB and the State’s Ratepayer Advocate. Actual savings will vary by policy. The lower rates are just one component of several department efforts to help businesses. More than 1,100 employers are saving even more on their premiums by participating in the department’s Workplace Safety Program, saving approximately $6.9 million last year. Eligible businesses can earn up to a 19 percent discount on their insurance by successfully undergoing annual safety
inspections and complying with recommendations. Importantly, employees may also benefit directly from employer-based safety goals — for example, a workplace may offer bonuses if there are no injuries in a given timeframe and pass on the savings to workers. Businesses eligible for the Workplace Safety Program are notified each year seven months prior to their renewal date. Organizations interested in participating can access questionnaires online and contact safety@delaware.gov to begin the process. The department has updated the Inspection Fee Schedule for program participants, as indicated on the questionnaire. Workplace Safety Program inspectors are independent safety professionals contracted by the department, not state employees or OSHA. Only benefits can be gained by participating. Failure to qualify cannot be the basis for premium increases or sanctions imposed by other safety officials.

La Red provides free haircuts to Springboard Village residents La Red Health Center recently partnered with Seaford-based Imagination Hair Styles Unisex Salon to offer individuals experiencing homelessness free haircuts and beard trims. The La Red team and two stylists from Imagination Hair Styles provided haircuts to about 30 individuals on Wednesday, Oct. 11, at the Springboard Village in Georgetown. La Red’s community outreach staff also distributed homeless-shelter kits to individuals. The team set up a makeshift salon and scheduled appointments with both men and women at the village. During the appointments, individuals carried on conversations, joked, laughed and admired their new styles. Homelessness continues to be a growing problem in Delaware and in Sussex County, noted La Red representatives. According to the 2023 Point in Time Count report issued by Housing Alliance Delaware, the number of people counted as unsheltered increased from 154 people in 2022 to 198 in 2023, a 28 percent increase. The study also found that the number of Delawareans living in emergency shelters, transitional housing or hotels paid by a charitable voucher was 1,091 in 2023. The report found that 32.7 percent of individuals who were unsheltered were in Sussex County, and 15 percent of those experiencing homelessness but were sheltered also were from Sussex County. The link between homelessness and chronic illness is strong, La Red representatives noted. According the National Health Care for the Homeless Council, chronic illness or injury can lead to job losses, loss of income and ultimately loss of housing. People who are experiencing homelessness also have higher rates of diabetes, hypertension, heart attacks, HIV, hepatitis C, depression and substance-use disorder, according to the council. Part of La Red’s mission is to connect Sussex County’s homeless population with healthcare services that can change the trajectory of their health and housing situation. La Red seeks to make those connections through its community outreach efforts and its bilingual community outreach staff in its behavioral unit. “At La Red, we treat the whole person,” said John Russum, director of La Red’s Behavioral Health Unit. “The personal connections made through getting a haircut is meaningful. It builds a bridge for individuals experiencing homelessness so they feel comfortable receiving healthcare services, which can make a huge difference in their overall health and well-being.” La Red offers haircuts at the Springboard Village in the fall and the spring. To learn more about La Red and the work it does with individuals experienc-
ing homelessness, visit www.LaRedHealthCenter.org. Springboard Village offers individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness dignified cabins and engagement as a stepping-stone to long-lasting housing. The village opened in Georgetown in 2023. La Red Health, a federally qualified health center in Sussex County, Del, has provided quality healthcare for individuals and families since 2001. La Red offers primary healthcare, pediatrics, women’s health services and mental health services at its three locations in Milford, Seaford and Georgetown. La Red also offers dental services at its Milford and Georgetown locations. For more information about La Red Health Center, visit www.laredhealthcenter.org/.

Nominations open for local Tourism Awards Tourism is a $2.7 billion (and growing) industry in Sussex County. In fact, more than 23,000 jobs in the county are tourism-related. Tourism revenue saves each Delaware household more than $1,600 in taxes each year, according to Southern Delaware Tourism officials. “This is definitely due, in large part, to our fortunate geographical location and our beautiful 5 Star beaches — but it’s also the result of a lot of initiative, creativity, planning and hard work by the many people and organizations who strive to keep up with changing travel trends and to create and provide the types of attractions, events, activities, and services that drive visitors to Sussex County.” Area residents and businesses are being asked to nominate groups or individuals who have made significant con-
tributions to the tourism industry in Sussex County between October 2022 and October 2023. Nominations must be completed and submitted by Friday, Nov. 3, to be considered.

Lord Baltimore Lions sponsor drug-awareness, -prevention effort The Lord Baltimore Lions Club supports drug-awareness and -prevention education in public schools. Studies indicate that 80 percent of learning achieved is through vision, and posters with drug-awareness messages are a good way to reach students in school, representatives said. In September, the Lord Baltimore Lions Club presented a $200 donation to Vice Principal Barkley Heck at Lord Baltimore Elementary School and Principal Jason Macrides of Selbyville Middle School to be used to purchase drug-awareness posters of their choosing for their schools. The school personnel identified commercial sources for professional drug-awareness posters suitable for their students and used the Lions Club donation to pay for them. Both schools have purchased posters that they deemed appropriate and have them hanging in their schools. The posters that Lord Baltimore purchased says, “Pledge to be drug-free.” What does such a pledge sound like? The Drug Enforcement Agency provides drug-awareness training to school children and their pledge reads, “I pledge to keep my dreams alive and be all that I can be. I pledge

nity?” Lions Club representatives suggested. At the Selbyville Middle School, their poster messages say, “Drugs destroy dreams. Say no to drugs.” Another poster says, “Drugs destroy
dreams. Think before you choose to be a dream killer.” The posters are displayed next to the two 7-foot vaping epidemic and vaping marijuana posters that were paid for by Attack Addiction a few years ago.

Meoli Companies awards $10K in scholarships to McDonald’s employees The Meoli Companies — which is headquartered in Rehoboth Beach, and owns and operates 25 McDonald’s restaurants across the Delmarva Peninsula — has awarded a total of $10,000 in scholarships to five employees who recently graduated from local high schools. The funds are being awarded as a part of Meoli Companies annual scholarship program that supports hardworking employees who are headed to college. Recipients of the awards include: • Jonathan Brittingham of Selbyville, attending the University of Delaware; • Henry Grote of Selbyville, attending Liberty University, in Lynchburg, Va.; • McKenzie Tubbs of Millsboro, attending the University of Delaware; • Faith Johnson of Denton, Md., attending Penn State University; and • Monique Payne of Dover, attending Delaware State University. The scholarship application asked students questions that focused on the employee’s overall story, their presence in the community, challenges they have overcome and plans for their education. “While we respect the importance of a student’s GPA as a demonstration of their commitment to learning, we consider many more attributes to ensure we have a wellrounded picture of the individuals we consider for a scholarship,” said Michael A. Meoli, owner and operator of the Meoli Family McDonald’s Restaurants. “The response was overwhelming and speaks to the incredible stories these graduates have to share. “For nearly 30 years, we’ve been committed to delivering a gold standard experience for our McDonald’s customers each and every time they visit our restaurants, and that starts by hiring outstanding people. Often, we are the first job for many of our high-school employees. Nothing pleases us more than to see them go on to future success and to support that journey.” Recipients were selected based on their demonstrated leadership, participation in local community activities, work experience, experience in overcoming challenges, and who and what has inspired them. According to the company, Brittingham really found his footing during his senior year, when he was cast as the lead in Sussex Central High School’s production of “Misery.” He was also influenced by being class president, serving on the student government, and speaking during the commencement ceremony. He worked at the Fenwick Bayside McDonald’s location for the last

He plans to become a therapist and specialize in family counseling.
Grote, they said, was active in clubs and the honors counsel, performed in school plays and served as a tutor at Delmarva Christian. However, he found his true passion in volunteer work —which included
working in an inner-city Baltimore homeless shelter, where he helped with renovations, served food, helped source donations and helped to minister to the homeless. He had worked in the Selbyville and Fenwick Bayside McDonald’s locations since he was 14 and is now attending Liberty University, where he is studying software engineering. He plans to be an app developer. Tubbs was an active member of the Indian River High School lacrosse team and Leo Club. She said she also enjoyed working with the Tim Tebow project Night to Shine, which helps students with special needs have a prom-night experience. A team member of the Millsboro McDonald’s since she was 14, she is now attending the University of Delaware, where she is studying occupational therapy. She would like to work with children with special needs as an occupational therapist, she said. “It’s not just about the food we serve or the restaurants we serve it in,” said Meoli. “It’s about the communities in which our restaurants operate. Each of our communities is unique, and we strive to find ways we can make the greatest impact in every one of them.”

Melvin W. Lewis On Sept. 26, 2023, a beloved father and longtime resident of the Ocean View, Del., area, Mel Lewis, passed after a long fight against illness. He worked as a house painter for most of his life and served his community through work with the local Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, ASPCA, the American Diabetes Association, and even helping found a group for children with diabetes. He was happy out on the water, boating, fishing and crabbing. He loved gatherings with family, friends, and neighbors, usually for a large crab feast and a game of horseshoes. In his later years, he was a fixture among the local poker league. He was proud of how he helped people, both as a painter and as a volunteer. He enjoyed pointing
out all the places he’d painted, including the stations of both the Millville and Bethany Beach volunteer fire companies. Lewis is survived by his sons Shawn Lewis, who will always remember how Mel taught him to stay aware of what is happening in the world, and Lon Lewis, who will always remember how Mel taught him about family taking care of each other; as well as his siblings William, Judy, Sam and Margaret; and many, many other family members and friends. In accordance with Lewis’ final wishes, he will be cremated with no funeral service. A private remembrance ceremony will take place at a future date.

Jean Ann ‘Jeanie’ Sullivan, 80 Jean Ann “Jeanie” Sullivan, 80, residing in The Villages, Fla., passed away on Sunday morning, Sept. 24, 2023, at Generations Senior Living, after a long 20-year battle with Parkinson’s disease, with her family surrounding her in love. She was born on March 11, 1943, grew up in Johnstown, Pa., and graduated from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania. It was at IUP that she met, and soon married, her love and lifelong friend, Thomas Sullivan. They went on to have two devoted children, Dennis and Maureen. Sullivan and her family spent 35 years in Reisterstown, Md., where she enjoyed being a teacher for grades 4, 5 and 6. While teaching, she attended Western Maryland College, obtaining her master’s degree in special education. Tom and Jeanie Sullivan retired to Bethany Beach, Del., where their entrepreneurial spirit inspired them to open two Good Feet Stores in Delaware. After that venture, their adventurous spirit inspired them to tour the U.S. on the road in an RV over a three-year period, being home for only three months. Upon their second “official” retirement, they settled in The Villages. She enjoyed a full life, blessed with many activities with family and friends. She was an avid tennis player, was an intense bridge player amongst other card games, took lessons in country dancing and windsurfing, and enjoyed relaxing at the beach, especially at annual family reunions. While in The Villages, she was active in the Parkinson’s Fight Club and enjoyed playing bocci with
friends, even from her wheelchair. She also took up painting in her later years. Upon passing, Sullivan joined her parents, Wilfred and Emma Jean Boxler, in her new celestial home in heaven. She is survived by her loving and devoted husband, Tom Sullivan; and children Dennis Sullivan, married to Natasha, and Maureen Eckman, married to Dan. She has five grandchildren, Colin, Conrad, Luke, Aidan and Nathan; and a greatgrandchild, Porter. She is also survived by her sister and best friend, Susan, married to Tom Siefert, of Peachtree City, Ga. She and Sue would talk almost nightly, especially over the last three years. She is also survived by her sister Kathy, married to Mac Kroehl, of Green Valley, Ariz. A special funeral service will be held at St Vincent de Paul Catholic Church, where Jeanie and Tom are members, on Saturday, Sept 30, 2023, after the 6 p.m. Mass. The family is having a celebration-of-life commemorative reunion at Bethany Beach in November, for family and friends. In lieu of flowers, the family suggested a donation to the Parkin-

son’s Foundation at www.parkinson.org.

Indian River’s Jeremiah Dennis gets tripped up by Caesar Rodney’s #5 Jacoby Sheaffer while chasing for control of the ball last week.
IR boys’ soccer continues quest for DIAA playoff berth By Mike Stern Staff Reporter They continue to battle. And they are playing much better since their recent losses to Henlopen Conference rival Caesar Rodney and Southern Division foe Sussex Academy. The Indian River High School boys’ soccer team showed considerable improvement in recent competition, including a 2-2 tie at conference foe Sussex Central on Tuesday, Oct. 10, and a 4-0 victory at division rival Woodbridge on Thursday, Oct. 12. “The key is consistency, to play well for the entire game,” head coach Brandt Mais noted. “Sussex Central is a very good team, and we battled well against
them for the majority of the game. At Woodbridge, we played to our potential.” In the matchup with Woodbridge, junior goalkeeper Kai Kelley made three saves to record his fourth shutout of the season and 13th of his IRHS career. The standout shot-stopper also contributed offensively by earning his first career assist late in the second half. Kelley punted the ball to midfield, where Indians’ senior forward Jeremiah Dennis caught up to the sphere. He raced toward the Woodbridge goal on a breakaway before beating the rival goalkeeper for his first career goal as the Indians improved to 3-1-0 in Southern Division competition.
Junior forward Deny Cruz-Bonilla gave the Indians a 2-0 halftime lead with his fifth and sixth goals in a fourminute span late in the first half. Junior forward Leo Chester, who assisted on Cruz-Bonilla’s first goal, added his fifth of the season early in the second half to extend IR’s lead to 3-0. “We can still earn a playoff berth without winning the division,” Mais said. “We need to rank in the top 12 of the Division II standings to qualify for the tournament. There are still a lot of games to be played.”
Allowing another late goal One of those games resulted in a tough loss created by allowing a late
goal. For the fourth time in its last six games, Indian River allowed a tying or winning marker in the final 10 minutes of regulation. As a result, conference rival Cape Henlopen defeated visiting IR, 2-1, in overtime on Tuesday, Oct. 17. Vikings’ senior Donovan Sandoval scored the equalizer with six minutes remaining in regulation, and senior teammate Collin Sivels sent the Indians to defeat with a goal at the 92-minute mark. Junior forward Dominic Delaney had given IR a 1-0 lead with his second goal of the season, early in the second half. The verdict left Indian River at 53-2 overall and 3-3-1 in conference play.

Local triathletes successfully compete in Cozumel Half Ironman race By Mike Stern Staff Reporter The conditions in Cozumel were less than accommodating. Temperatures hovered in the mid90s with brutal, energy-sapping 85 percent humidity. It felt like the low 100s during the 13.1-mile running portion of the 70.3-mile Half Ironman competition on Sunday, Sept. 24. In addition, the Caribbean Sea became choppy toward the conclusion of the 1.2-mile swim. The athletes also had to contend with a challenging east-coast wind during part of the 56-mile bicycling race. Despite these challenges, all seven members of Team Bethany Swim Bike Run competed impressively in Cozumel, Mexico, an island located off the eastern coast of the Yucatán Peninsula.

Triathletes Continued from page 66 composed of local triathletes Sarah Gordon, Jimmy Keister, Gerene Behrens, Russell Littleton, Lisa Wynn, and Jo and Norm Scherer, who range in age from their 50s to their 70s. The team’s members train together and live locally, in Ocean View, Frankford and Fenwick Island. Competing against more than 2,000 other triathletes, Team Bethany Swim Bike Run members’ finishing times ranged from 6 hours, 9 minutes to 8 hours, 28 minutes. After each of them swam, biked and ran so impressively, they had compelling stories to share.
Jimmy Keister (6:09.20) Jimmy Keister had his doubts about finishing the running event. “The heat was so oppressive that all I could think about was whether I could complete the race,” recalled Keister, who posted the team’s best overall time. “My head felt like it was about to explode. I pushed on, thinking to myself that ‘You can do this — take your time, you’ve done the training so dig inside yourself.’ I look forward to competing in an Ironman competition in North Carolina this May.”
Gerene Behrens (7:28.10) Gerene Behrens never backs down from a challenge. She did her best to acclimate to the hot, humid environment. “The running event was the most challenging part of the competition, due to the brutal heat and humidity,” said Behrens. “It felt like more than 100 degrees, with high humidity, and it was the hardest run or walk I have ever done in my life. Some of the spectators sprayed us down with water, some sponged cold water over our heads, and most of them cheered us to the finish line. On race day, I felt I was ready but still was very nervous. “During the swim, I noticed that the water felt like an aquarium, because I was able to see all the fish and sea life,” Behrens added. “The best part of the entire experience were the friendships we nurtured and the bonds we shared from it. I look forward to returning to this event next year.”
Lisa Wynn (7:53.17) Lisa Wynn is no stranger to Cozumel. “I try to visit Cozumel twice a year to go diving,” she said. “The swim was great, the bike got windy during the second half, and the run was very hot. I was pretty sure that I could make the cutoff time if I just kept moving forward. So that’s what I concentrated on.
67
I’d like to do another Half Ironman, because this was an amazing experience.”
Sarah Gordon (8:02.21) Team organizer Sarah Gordon learned some valuable lessons from this competition. “I realized that I spent too much time during the bike event pausing at each of the nine water-aid stops,” said Gordon. “That probably added about 35 minutes to my total time. This is something I will definitely work on for the next race. And I’ll consider it a lesson learned from my first Ironman competition. I also learned that I spent too much time — 20 minutes — during the transitions. I have to be more efficient in the transitions during swim-to-bike and the bike-to-run events.” Gordon said competing in the Half Ironman was a life-changing experience. “Honestly, it was so much more than a race,” she said. “It was about friendship, community, love, support and comradeship. Being a part of Team Bethany Swim Bike Run is deeply important to me. I dreamed of competing in an Ironman-branded event since I was an adolescent. I will cherish the memories and am looking forward to competing in the next one.”
Jo Scherer (8:28) Jo Scherer managed to maintain her goal pace for the swim and bike events. “The heat was so oppressive that my run was slower than my goal,” she said. “Then my watch died at Mile 9 on the last leg, so I didn’t know how fast I was going. But I was psyched to see my friends on the double out-and-back run course. That kept me going! “As I was bringing up the rear during the run, I saw many people overcome with heat,” she added. “People were lying on the median with volunteers fanning them as they waited for an ambulance. Hundreds of people stopped and dipped their arms and splashed their faces in the ice buckets at the water stops. They quickly hydrated and refueled, but the heat was so oppressive. I look forward to competing in this type of event again, as long as I never see another bottle of yellow Gatorade!”
Joe Cusumano (spouse of triathlete Sarah Gordon) For Joe Cusumano, this was also a life-changing experience. The supportive spouse of triathlete Sarah Gordon became the team’s de facto photographer. “The most beautiful thing was to capture all the vivid photos of my wife and each of her teammates through race day,” he said. “The beauty of the island was magnificent! Team Bethany Swim Bike Run is an inspiring group of lovely people!”

Pickleball Points: Pickleball injuries and saved lives By Vaughn Baker Special to the Coastal Point Last month, USBankCorp came out with alarming statis-
tics about how many more pickleball injuries there now are. Quite a few non-pickleballers were very quick to ring the alarms, speaking before
thinking. The country boy in me wants to ask them this question: “Since there are now more than ten times more pickleballers, should there not
be more injuries?” There have always been some pickleball injuries — especially in those very first few lessons, when brains tells 60-
year-old people they are still 30. In fact, at my beginner clinics, I intentionally place trusted pickleballers to watch for, and catch, any over energetic beginners about to topple over. But even then, an ex-Ohio State running back got away from me and rolled over the shrubbery before I caught him about to roll onto Rehoboth Avenue. When we started to play pickleball in Ocean View, we were so concerned about beginner pickleball injuries that pickleball physical therapist extraordinaire Bob Cairo gave several free public clinics about the best warm-up exercises for pickleball. Rick Bell, a top pickleball instructor, likes to point out the obvious: “Do you want a turned ankle that might take six weeks to heal, or a lifelong threatening disease from physical inactivity? Folks sitting on a couch watching TV and eating potato chips and ice cream rarely turn their ankles, but their unseen internal injuries can be much more serious.” USB claimed there might be $377 million in medical costs associated with these pickleball injuries. Compare that to these statistics: U.S. cancer costs are estimated at more than $158 billion, and heart-associated costs are estimated at more than $216 billion — so $377 million (a tenth of a percent of total heart and cancer costs) seems like a pretty smart investment toward helping lower those other two monsters. Let me whittle it down: That alarming $377 million is roughly $10 per pickleballer! That’s right — last year, there were an estimated 36.5 million pickleballers (some say 50 million), now competing in one of our nation’s most popular participation sports. So it is logical that medical costs should be rising, but 10 bucks per year per person toward better health confirms it is a good investment, especially if it reduced cancer and heart costs by just 1 percent — a $100 return on your investment. Pickleball saved my life, because the aerobic exercise caused my heart to reroute blood through my heart. Multiple others have told me they were grateful to pickleball as well. I’m about to tell you about two unknown people who are See PICKLEBALL page 74

IR football hit hard by Brandywine’s big plays in 1A, D2 loss By Mike Stern Staff Reporter For all intents and purposes, the playoffs have begun for the Indian River High School football team. That’s what happens when a team cannot afford to lose another regular-season contest. In a game they sorely needed to win, the Indians dropped a hardfought 38-28 Class 1A, District 2 verdict to visiting Brandywine last Friday night, October 13. As a result, Indian River fell to 12 in district play and into a tie with 1-2 Conrad (2-4 overall). They trail Brandywine (3-0 district, 4-2 overall), Polytech (2-1, 5-1), First State Military Academy (2-2, 4-3), St. Andrew’s (2-2, 2-4) and Seaford (2-2, 3-3) in district play. Below them is winless Early College at DSU (0-3, 1-4), which will be IR’s next opponent this Friday. Only the top two District 2 teams — and potentially one or two wildcard squads, based on a points index achieved by victories — will reach the postseason. As a result, the Indians will have to run the table and win each of their last four games — See FOOTBALL page 71

October 20, 2023
Football Continued from page 70 two at home and two upon the unforgiving gridirons of northern Delaware. “In our first six games, we faced some tough teams,” said Indian River head football coach Phil Townsend after the Indians’ third straight setback. “Five or all six of those teams will make the playoffs in their respective divisions. We have to continue to work hard and focus on ourselves. Playoff positions right now are up for grabs, and we need to improve each week.” The Indians fell behind early against a high-powered Bulldogs offense that has put up at least 33 points in each of its last four games. Sophomore kicker Ian Cleghorn’s 27-yard field goal late in the first quarter gave Brandywine a lead it never relinquished. After junior quarterback Crisdon Wright capped a long drive with a 3yard scoring run to make it 10-0 early in the second stanza, IR sophomore running back Davon Handy energized the capacity Cancer Awareness Night crowd with an electrifying 40-yard touchdown run that cut the Indians’ deficit to 10-7. But Brandywine proceeded to capitalize on their rivals’ mistakes to score a pair of touchdowns in less than a minute just before halftime. Wright scored his second TD on a 2yard quarterback sneak to make it 17-7. After the Bulldogs recovered an Indians’ fumble, Wright connected with sophomore wide receiver Kahseer Williams on an 18-yard scoring hookup to give Brandywine a 24-7 intermission lead. “We had them on several thirddown-and-long and fourth-downand-short yardage situations, and yet they capitalized,” said Townsend. “Our defense has to be better in those situations. We did a good job against the run but struggled at times against their passing game.” Following the Bulldogs’ third TD, IR senior Rashad Hopkins appeared to bring the Indians back to within 10 points. However, his brilliant 70yard kickoff return for a touchdown, which would potentially have brought the score to 24-14, was erased by a penalty. “Rashad is a very explosive player, and he’s fun to watch each week,” said Townsend. “We had a younger player make a silly mistake. We will work on cleaning up the penalties and turnovers as we prepare for the remainder of our season.” Indian River sophomore running back/wide receiver Darnell Stokes brought the Indians closer in the third quarter with an 18-yard TD run, to make it 24-17. But Brandy-
Coastal Point wine’s Williams answered with his second TD of the night, on an 18yard run that restored the Bulldogs’ 17-point lead, 31-17, heading into the fourth quarter. The Indians never quit, however. Stokes added two fourth-quarter TDs on a 12-yard run, to make it 3121, as well as a 50-yard reception from sophomore quarterback Dylan Grise in the waning minutes. In between those two explosive scoring plays, however, the Indians were undercut by an 88-yard touchdown pass from Wright to Williams that made it 38-21 and clinched the Bulldogs’ victory. “We came out flat in the first half and made several mistakes,” said Townsend. “Brandywine took advantage. The second half, we played our game and had a bunch of success. We have several guys with a ton of heart. They fought hard for four quarters.
“Brandywine’s playmakers made some explosive plays,” he added. “We did a good job stopping their quarterback in the run game. But in the passing game they had a good night.” Brandywine QB Wright finished with 64 rushing yards on 10 carries with a pair of tallies, and connected with Williams exclusively on 6 of 12 pass attempts, for 231 yards and two TDs. Senior running back Kameron Campbell rushed for 84 yards on 18 carries in a strong supporting role. For the Indians, junior running back Jayvion Chandler rushed for 140 yards on 23 touches, while Handy added 92 yards on 10 carries. Stokes chipped in with 56 yards on 10 carries, while Hopkins tacked on 35 rushing yards on 12 carries. Quarterback Grise completed 7 of his 10 passing attempts for 53 yards and a 6-pointer. Defensively, senior Collin King
71 led the Indians with seven tackles, while senior Bryce Johnson added six stops. Stokes, sophomore Luis Hicks and senior Nick Butts added five tackles each. Hopkins also recovered a Bulldogs’ fumble. For Brandywine, senior Matt Barton led all tacklers with 16 tackles, while sophomore Brennan Grundy added 10 stops.
Early College at DSU is next for Indians at Homecoming 2023 The Indians will host District 2 rival Early College at Delaware State University this Friday night, Oct. 20, as part of Homecoming. The opening kickoff is slated for 6 p.m. The Indians defeated visiting EC@DSU last season, 62-28, to clinch their second straight playoff berth.

After a strong start to the season that saw them win five of their first six, the Indian River High School field hockey team has been up-anddown in October, to the tune of two wins in their last six. The squad suffered two more losses this past week, to perennial power Cape Henlopen (3-0) and being edged out by Milford (3-2) in an overtime thriller on Senior Night at The Reservation. Against the Bucs, the Indians fell behind in the first quarter at the 6:39 mark on a score by Milford’s Bailey Masten with an assist from her sister Molly Masten. It was the first of two on the night for Bailey Masten, as she also scored the game-winner on a penalty stroke in overtime. Falling behind 1-0 in the first, IR responded with a pair of goals by Ella Peterson (Macy Blades assist) and Bailey Williamson (Reece Forrey helper) to take a 2-1 lead heading into the halftime break. Milford got the equalizer in the third period, when Madisyn Hitchens knocked home a goal at the 8:54 mark. Neither team was able to break the tie in the fourth, which forced the extra-time session. The Bucs held a 14-6 advantage on shots in the game, while also holding an edge in penalty corners, at 12-7. IR goalie Jazmin Mayfield was strong between the pipes, making 11 saves overall. Her counterpart from Milford, Madison Stahl, made just four stops. The Indians were set to travel to defending DIAA Division I state champion Smyrna on Thursday, Oct. 19, for what was expected to be tough road contest. The Eagles are undefeated on the season, having knocked off national powerhouse Delmar earlier this season to end the Wildcats’ 110-game win streak.
