BOEM wind hearing generates emotions By Mike Smith Staff Reporter The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) held a community open house at Indian River High School in Dagsboro on Thursday, Oct. 26, with ocean scientists providing vi-

sual impact imagery and mapping of the Maryland Offshore Wind project. The public discussion with poster displays throughout the IRHS gym follows the release of the draft Environmental Impact Statement with public comment now open until Nov. 20. BOEM heard from concerned citizens

and pro-wind environmental leaders directly, using an online portal for comment, providing an address for letters and an e-mail address for completing this listening tour. Social media was “blowing up” with thousands of community comments that the new photos released of the off-

shore windfarm seem to bring the “viewshed” of the 800-foot turbines and 900-foot structures closer to the beach and the local coastal towns than originally anticipated.

By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter Delaware State Police this week were continuing to investigate a shooting in Selbyville that killed a 21-year-old Milford woman and injured another. Police said Abriana Ingram of Milford was killed when shots were fired during a fight after a Halloween party at a strip mall at 36334 Dupont Boulevard at 11:56 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 28. Neither woman was involved in the fight. Ingram was trying to get to her car when she was struck in the upper torso by a bullet, and the 30-year-old victim was seated in her car in the parking lot when it was struck by gunfire. She was taken to a nearby hospital in a private vehicle and treated for a gunshot wound to her upper extremity. Her name was not released. Police said they responded to the parking lot at the strip mall, on the south side of Route 113. When they arrived, they said they saw several vehicles fleeing from the See HOMICIDE page 5

Schuchman’s retirement made official in Fenwick By Kerin Magill Staff Reporter Fenwick Island Town Manager Pat Schuchman’s retirement was officially announced at last week’s Town Council Meeting. Schuchman has served as Town

Manager for more than two years, but she has been part of the town’s administrative team for 27 years. Her upcoming retirement wasn’t a surprise, as Schuchman has made offhand comments about it in recent months, but Mayor Natalie Magdeburger made the official announcement

at the Friday, Oct. 27 Town Council meeting. “She’s been instrumental in keeping the town the way it is and keeping it safe,” Magdeburger said. “When we took office two years ago, she promised to give us a year and a half,” the mayor said. “She’s given us

two and a half, almost three years. “She will be helping us find her replacement,” Magdeburger said. Schuchman said after the meeting that the position will not be advertised just yet; Magdeburger said this week “we are See SCHUCHMAN page 3

BOEM Continued from page 1 Anne Sakalay, who resides in the Towers Shore community in North Bethany Beach, expressed her fears about the view from her home and the onshore cabling, which is expected to land at 3R’s beach less than a mile from her home. “It has always been so pretty here,” she said. “These Maryland windfarms and proposed Delaware onshore cables are closer than we expected. The is a complete lack of transparency about this project. What is going on, how big will the turbines be? They have changed the ocean horizon forever. We cannot see the sunrise. People come to the ocean and beach to heal, to be at one with nature; not to stare at industrial wind turbines. “It should not be allowed be so close,” continued Sakalay of the US Wind MarWin project. “They keep growing the number of turbines and the height. This does not just impact us, but generations to come. “The wind farms have been pushed further offshore in more well-heeled and wealthy communities, where money talks,” continued Sakalay. “We are totally against bringing the lines ashore at 3R’s beach, our whole Towers Shore community has stated so in writing. It goes through the Inland Bays which is going to impact the ecosystem of the

bays no matter what the companies say.” Sakalay said there are other land-based alternatives for transmission lines. The Caesar Rodney Institute issued a white paper at the open house claiming the federal government should not approve the wind project based on the assumptions found in the Environmental Impact Statement. “I looked at the construction and operations plan when it came out and those (early) assumptions about the view are not accurate,” said Caesar Rodney Institute Executive Director David Stephenson. “They make it look further away than it is. The COP plan was not realistic.” “BOEM in its draft environmental impact statement is now showing us that this US Wind Skipjack project will be as close as 10 miles, to the coast of Delaware and Maryland,” he said through his role at the center for energy and environmental policy. “There will be an unavoidable view and dominate presence of a developed and industrial view of turbines from the coastline both day and night,” said Stevenson. “And we are looking at 1050 turbines which have been adjusted for height.

BOEM is listening Lissa Eng, the renewable energy national communications lead for the agency, said BOEM is a small federal

agency of about 600 people. The organization has held two public hearings in the area including at IRHS, and earlier on Oct. 24 at Ocean City Elementary School, and two online. “Today’s meeting is to have a public meeting to allow people to submit their comments, formally, on the record, because we have just published the draft Environmental Impact Statement. So, it’s part of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process.” NEPA requires all federal agencies to assess the environmental effects of their proposed actions prior to making decisions. “We are doing the review process today; so, the open-comment period is through Nov. 20, and we wanted to be present, in-person, as well as virtual, so people who cannot travel here can still voice their opinion on certain aspects of the Maryland Offshore Wind Project. “We are hosting this event in an open house format so that people can speak one-on-one with our scientists,” added Eng. “They can see our subject matter experts and get into the weeds or take a deep dive. It is set-up so that people can get their questions answered. “It’s a public meeting and the goal of the meeting is to get those public comments. We have a court reporter here, we have computers set-up for responses, we have tables set-up for written comments and people can send notes directly to us,” continued Eng. “We value the knowledge we receive

from… local communities, ocean users, and others. Working together, we can reduce conflicts and establish a strong foundation for offshore wind energy projects moving forward,” said BOEM Director Elizabeth Klein in a statement. US Wind, Inc. is seeking approval for the construction and operation of the Maryland Offshore Wind Project, which includes three planned phases. Two of those phases, MarWin and Momentum Wind, have offshore renewable energy certificates from the State of Maryland. US Wind’s proposal for all three phases includes installation of up to 121 turbines, up to four offshore substation platforms, one meteorological tower, and up to four offshore export cable corridors with landfall occurring within Delaware Seashore State Park. The lease area is approximately 8.7 nautical miles offshore in federal waters off the coast of Maryland and approximately 9 nautical miles from Sussex County, Delaware. “This is the most significant step forward in the history of Maryland offshore wind,” said Jeff Grybowski, US Wind CEO. “BOEM’s draft environmental impact statement sets us on a path toward starting construction on our offshore wind projects in 2025.” Jodi Rose, executive director of Inter-

Fenwick officials looking at digital signs By Kerin Magill Staff Reporter In response to a request from St. Matthew’s By the Sea United Methodist Church, Fenwick Island officials are considering amending the town’s sign regulations to allow digital

Schuchman Continued from page 1 working on the advertisement. “Twenty-seven years is probably enough,” Magdeburger continued. “She and her husband Mike are looking forward to seeing the world together…I know they’ll have a good time, but I will miss them,” she said. Schuchman was Fenwick Island’s Building Official for most of her time with the town. She was named Town Manager in 2021, replacing Terry Tieman. In another administrative staff transition, Magdeburger announced that Erin Ellinger is now Town Clerk, Ellinger moved over to town hall from the Police Department, where she had served as police clerk, in February, to assist Raelene Menominee, whose last day with the town was Oct. 12, according to Magdeburger. Now, the town is in the process of hiring a second person to

signs in the commercial area. The current ordinance prohibits signs that are visible from the street except for those showing time, date and temperature. The proposed change would allow written messages on digital signs, as long as they are “static” and not scrolling

across the screen. No graphics would be allowed on digital signs under the proposed ordinance change. “Currently we have a number of message boards in town,” Mayor Natalie

help Ellinger with administrative duties in Town Hall. Magdeburger said Ellinger is training her replacement in the police department, Caroline Jowder, while “taking on all sorts of new jobs and responsibilities,” in town hall. Meanwhile, Fenwick Island’s new police chief, Michael Morrissey, has been busy updating the department’s equipment as well as its policies and procedures manual. Morrissey told the council that his department’s tasers are “woefully out of date,” and said he wants to bring its “less-than-lethal” force equipment, which includes tasers, up to comparable standards to other area departments. Morrissey also received council’s approval to return an all-terrain vehicle to the Law Enforcement Supply Office (LESO) which supplies surplus lowcost vehicles to law enforcement agencies, because it has been determined that necessary repairs to the vehicle

would be too costly. He said the cost of the new tasers is about $41,000 over five years — most of which is covered by Violent Crime Grant funds. Morrissey said he also wants to replace the department’s pepper spray equipment, which he called “years expired.” The town’s police cars also have a new look, and now all of its police vehicles are marked. Morrissey said the department’s motto, “Safe and Strong Together,” which is now printed on each vehicle, reflects the department’s new mission statement. Morrissey has overseen updates to the police department’s website to reflect the new statement and has added a letter to new residents. In the letter, he encourages new residents to follow the department’s Facebook page for news and updates, and to sign up for CodeRED, a program which provides emergency information. Residents can sign up for CodeRED via the town website, fenwickisland.delaware.gov.

Family still struggling eight months after fire By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter More than eight months after fire destroyed their Ocean View home, Jim and Ada Carr continue to struggle with insurance payments and a restoration company, and are in need of gift cards — particularly to buy groceries. “It has been hell on wheels. It’s like the devil is working against me. I am overwhelmed,” Jim Carr, 81, told the Coastal Point recently. “If you could see my desk and the things I have to do… We need money, I can tell. God, do we need money. After the fire, a lot of people donated gift cards for Giant. We could really use those now. Things have gone to hell in a handbag,” he said. Anyone who would like to donate gift cards can take them to the office at Mariner’s Bethel Global Methodist Church in Ocean View, but the house the couple is staying in while their home is being rebuilt is too small to store donated canned goods or clothing, Jim Carr said. The Carrs, who lived on Sunrise Lane in the Country Village community, have been trying to get their insurance company to give them funds they need to pay for work to rebuild their house, as well as for furniture.

“The insurance company is not paying for the rebuilding in a timely fashion. They are just dragging their feet and creating a lot of problems. But the big problem is they owe us $280,000 for the interior — sofas, chairs, furniture — everything in the interior. They haven’t paid us one red cent yet, and they still owe us money for the exterior. … Meantime, the house is almost completed, and it is going to be completed and we aren’t going to be able to move into it because we don’t have money for what we need for the interior. “They keep sending us letters,” Jim Carr said of the insurance company. “In the course of that letter, it said there is further investigation that is needed and they can’t issue any money until that investigation is completed. “After the fire, they would not let us in the house to take anything out for three months. All of our furniture and goods were sitting and molding in water. The insurance company wouldn’t let us take anything out,” said Carr, who is retired from the U.S. Army and Navy Departments of Procurement and the IRS. The fire started in the furnace, located on the second floor and run by propane and electric. Fire fell down onto the first floor and hit Christmas decorations that had

been taken down and were stored in boxes. Carr picked up one of the decorations, and it exploded in his hands. He placed it on the washing machine and watched as nearby cabinets and walls caught fire. He rushed outside to get the garden hose, but realized it wasn’t connected and there was no time to waste. “I tried to go back in the house, and the house was blue flames. You can’t go through blue flames. The ceiling of the porch was plastic. It was so hot it was melting, and it was falling down,” he said, recalling that he yelled to his wife to escape through the back door as a neighbor helped her. Since the fire, he has been too upset to eat well and has lost 26 pounds. “The biggest problem is how nervewracking it is dealing with the insurance company,” he said. Despite his troubles, Carr said his faith remains strong, and he and his wife — married since 1984 — are grateful for the community that immediately helped them in February, as well as the fire and police departments. Their daughter and son-in-law came to stay with them and help them immediately after the fire. Carr has a gun collection, and Ocean View Police Chief Kenneth McLaughlin took the guns and has held them for

him. One hotel allowed the couple to stay there for three nights, free of charge, after the fire, until they settled into the neighbor’s unoccupied home. The owner of the home where they are staying is not charging rent, although Carr said he is insisting on paying utility bills. “I feel it is the right thing to do,” he said. “Even if the house is finished, we can’t move in because we can’t buy furniture, and we have a $30,000 bill from restorations. They are the company that came in and pulled all the stuff out. I have been going through hell with them. “They sent me a bill for $16,000, and they said I had 105 T-shirts that were not salvageable. I don’t think I have 105 T-shirts. I am going to ask them: ‘If you can salvage 105 T-shirts, why didn’t you salvage my good shirts that were hanging there? Why didn’t you salvage my sports coats that I have hanging in plastic?’” Carr said. “To explain to you the gravity of the pain I am under right now — they sent me a list on a spreadsheet.

UD hosts symposium on aquaculture in bays By Mike Smith Staff Reporter Anna Fagan, deputy director of the Delaware Center for the Inland Bays (CIB), kicked-off an aquaculture symposium offering a 10-year retrospective on the farming of oysters in the inland bays. The event was hosted at the University of Delaware Virden Retreat Center in Lewes on Oct. 24, with more than 60 people attending. CIB, Delaware Sea Grant and the Delaware Aquaculture Association brought together speakers and government officials to attempt to break the logjam in commercial production. “These are amazing bivalves which can do a great deal for our inland bays,” said Fagan, from the environmental perspective. “We estimate over 5,000 pounds of polluting nitrogen and phosphorous would be removed from the bay waters annually. In 2021, we had 431,500 shellfish harvested. “This would be an incredible help to the inland bays water quality,” she continued. However, only 343,000 shellfish

Police said during the Halloween party a fight broke out and those attending were asked to leave, but the fight continued in the parking lot and someone displayed a handgun and started to shoot. Following the shooting, the crowd dispersed and the suspect who shot the handgun fled in what police called an unknown direction.

were harvested in 2022. “We want to allow for aquaculture in the inland bays,” said Fagan. “House Bill 160 was enacted 10 years ago in August 2013 and allowed DNREC to control the criteria, the lease sites, the applications and the lease fees for the inland bays aquaculture industry.” The Inland Bays Aquaculture Symposium provided a 10-year review of progress. Delaware was the last state in the U.S. to allow and permit shellfish farming. In 2014, the governor signed shellfish aquaculture regulations. “There were concerns about the viewshed. We had a lottery drawing for leases in 2017,” explained Fagan. “There are 343 acres in Rehoboth, Little and Assawoman Bays,” currently farmed in submerged cages for these shellfish. “The Center and our organizing partners were very pleased (with the results) at the conclusion of the well-attended Inland Bays Aquaculture Symposium,” she said, following the event at Virden Center. “Our carefully selected speakers shared a breadth of knowledge and experience on overcomSelbyville Police also responded. Selbyville Police Chief Brian Wilson this week told Coastal Point while shootings can happen anywhere, Selbyville remains a safe, rural town. He said he didn’t know of any previous incidents at that strip mall. The Delaware State Police Homicide Unit continues to investigate and police are asking anyone with information to call Detective A. Bluto at (302) 7412859. Information may also be provided by sending a private Facebook message to the Delaware State Police or contacting Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800847-3333.

ing obstacles facing aquaculture in the Inland Bays. This resulted in thoughtful and productive discussions between speakers, panelists, and attendees, all focused on moving toward solutions. We are optimistic about continuing to work with all the stakeholders in the watershed to support this lucrative and beneficial industry.” The Delaware Sea Grant program, UD and Delaware State University united in 2022 to build an oyster hatchery, a combination between a laboratory and a farm to help foster shellfish from spawn to adult life. Capacity is between 50 to 75 million oyster larvae per year in the next three years — or about 30 percent of the state’s demand. “We have yet to reduce the load of nutrients in the bay,” noted Fagan of the load reduction effort. “Only 18 acres of the inland bays are available for commercial oysters. So, this is a disappointing reduction,” she continued. The 343 acres of shellfish of shellfish aquaculture acres available is similar to what they are doing in Rhode Island,

according to scientists, and those oystermen have generated 200 jobs and over $6 million in annual revenue which is a “reasonable target for Delaware,” said the CIB. Ron Calef, vice-mayor of Bethany Beach, said, “We sell a lot of oysters at our Bethany farmer’s market, but of course that is only about 16 weeks out of the year. There is a high demand for Delaware oysters and the industry here has made a good start. There is room for growth, as we are learning today.”

Sea Grant talks economic benef its Dr. Ed Hale of UD’s Sea Grant program said, “The $6 million is where we need to get to in oyster production. This is the kind of economic activity and job creation we are talking about.” “There are only 18 acres which are (commercially) leased, in the inland bays, with 10 lessees and nine of them are commercial operators,” said Hale.

Board of Ed investigating Layfield’s future By Mike Smith Staff Reporter The Indian River School District has a personnel decision to make on returning Dr. Bradley Layfield to area schools following his suspension with pay after the alleged sharing of a surveillance video and telephone video of a Sussex Central High School senior’s exposed breast.

Signs Continued from page 3 Magdeburger said, including ones at Sea Shell City, Mancini’s, Southern Exposure, Our Harvest, St. Matthew’s, and at Town Hall. The current ordinance “goes back to 1978,” Magdeburger said. Several Town Council members expressed concern that changing the ordinance to allow expanded use of electronic signs would take away from Fenwick Island’s small-town aesthetic and would contribute to light pollution. “I feel that this ordinance change will encourage businesses to change their signs and this will contribute to invasive and distracting lighting on Coastal Highway,” Council Member

The question of a potential reinstatement or human resources review of his paid leave suspension came up during the executive session meeting of the IRSD Board of Education last week. “The Indian River School District has been advised by the Delaware Department of Justice that it may resume its internal investigation of this matter, which it did immediately,” per a

statement from the District. “The Department of Justice confirmed that our investigation would not jeopardize or interfere with law enforcement’s investigation. The employees involved remain on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of this investigation and possible additional action by the Board of Education. State and federal laws protecting the privacy rights of public employees, and pend-

ing litigation commenced by the student, prevent the district from commenting further on this issue.” One board member provided feedback on the potential to recall Layfield to active service in the 10,600-student school system. Currently, Dr. Judith Brittingham is serv-

Janice Bortner said in a prepared statement. “I understand it is burdensome on the church members to have to change the letters on their sign but this ordinance change will have long-term negative effects on Dark Skies that the new comprehensive plan endorses,” Bortner continued, in reference to an international movement to reduce light pollution. “We all know when we have arrived in incorporated Fenwick Island by the noticeable lack of glaring lights” compared to Ocean City, she said. Bortner suggested the town’s Dark Skies subcommittee work with the Planning Commission to update the town’s sign ordinance. Council Member Ed Bishop agreed with Bortner and said the sign ordinance should specify types of lighting

allowed as well as hours of operation for signs. “Otherwise, we will be bright lights 24/7.” “Maybe we should take a better look at it,” Council Secretary Jacqueline Napolitano said. She added that she sympathizes with the church members’ wish to modernize their sign and make it easier to change the message than the current “antiquated” sign, on which letters have to be changed by hand. Council Treasurer William Rymer said he thought he might have to recuse himself from voting on the issue since he is a member of St. Matthew’s, but since the ordinance change is townwide, he felt he could make his opinion known. “I think more digital signs eliminate, or have a negative impact, on the quaint and coastal community feel we’re going for with all the work we’ve been doing,”

Rymer said. “I’m not a fan of the spotlights blaring up,” he said. “It goes against Dark Skies.” Rymer also said he worries that digital signs, even during the day, would take away from the yellow flashing signs the town h has installed at pedestrian crossings. “I’m torn,” Council Member Richard Benn said. He said he would like to see the proposed ordinance sent back to the Charter and Ordinance Committee to add more specific language regarding such factors as lumens and color of the signage. He also said the number of words on each sign should be limited. Council Member Kurt Zanelotti agreed with Benn. “I think there should be some parameters on it. I think it could be helpful for the businesses to have them,” but there should be limits, Zanelotti said. The council voted 5-0 to send the proposed ordinance back to the Charter and Ordinance Committee for further review. Also introduced for first reading at the Oct. 27 meeting was an ordinance prohibiting the sale of marijuana within town limits. That proposal moves forward, also 5-0, with no discussion from council members or the public. The second reading for the ordinance, and possible adoption, is scheduled for the council’s next meeting. There will be no regular Town Council meeting in November; the next meeting is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 8, to be followed by the town’s Christmas tree lighting ceremony.

Jane Covington, formerly the president of the Lower Sussex County Chapter of the NAACP, and a recent president of the Richard Allen (School) Coalition, offered her opinion during the public comment period at the board of education meeting held at SCHS last week.

Symposium Continued from page 5 “The overall economic value is $240,000 which is a really poor total,” added Hale. “We need to be doing orders of magnitude greater than that. We are seeing .73 per oyster which is a great price. We have a huge potential for growth. “Commercial oyster fishing is what makes Delaware, Delaware,” he continued. “It connects where we are today and our history as a state. It was what formed our economic and social components to the fabric of Delaware. “We used to land two million bushels of oyster out of Delaware Bay. Today our quota is 75 bushels we will land and a total of 12,000 oysters.

“We elected you as school board members for the protection of our children,” said Covington, who is also a mother of an area student. “Now Dr. Layfield has put us in a quandary. When I first heard of the incident involving Layfield several young ladies at Sussex Central, which resulted in this exposure and sharing of videos, I said to myself: ‘I know Bradley Layfield and

he’s not one that is going to let that kind of behavior happen.’” “Then I find out that he was perhaps complicit in this sharing of videos of the naked girl,” said Covington. “I am not this girl’s mother, but I consider her to be one of my own children. All of these girls are like my own daughter. “Now, we learn that you are considering reinstating him as principal at this school,” continued Covington. “Where is the protection for our children?” According to IRSD school rules and regulations, recalled Covington,

“If you take a video of a school fight and you share it, you can be removed from the schools here. “Layfield is suspended with pay and that does not seem right,” added Covington. “Think of the negative image for this child, and the hurt we have caused to her. “As a parent, I am angry,” continued Covington. “But as a woman, I am furious!” Layfield and his attorney said Aniya Harmon brought the exposure upon herself and caused her own harm by initiating a fight.

“Aquaculture is our solution and planting these oyster seeds,” is where it begins, said Hale. The average length of the commercial oyster is over three inches and they make a lot of eggs in the Eastern Oyster species. They can make from 100,000 to 100 million larvae. Oysters open their two hinged shells to draw water across their gills. Throughout the day, they filter feed on phytoplankton or algae in the ocean water. On average, a single oyster can filter up to 30 gallons of water per day. “They are literally filtering the water,” said Hale. SAV (submerged aquatic vegetation) and seagrass provide a wonderful structure for our oysters in these coastal environments, he noted. “There are differences in the value of

different aquaculture practices to the aquatic community whether it’s cagebased and whether it is bottom or floating gear,” said Hale. “Oyster farming is passively sequestered in the bays.” Mark Casey from the Delaware Aquaculture Association was a bit more blunt in his assessments. “You are going to get a lot of NIMBY (not in my backyard) issues around these bays,” he said. “We should get the Assawoman Bay (oyster farm) going before trying to take on this resistance,” said Casey. “You guys haven’t gotten there in 10 years. The start-up costs and the growth costs are a big barrier,” added Casey. “To remove nitrogen and nutrients from our bays, to create jobs, to move forward with legislation in a high property value recreational and tourism area,

it is a very challenging endeavor without a strategy on how to get there,” said the aquaculture association speaker. He recommended creating a strategic team even smaller than the current CIB aquaculture “tiger team” to focus on the barriers and provide oversight. There were concerns expressed about how the US Wind project Skipjack and transmission cables being brought on shore across the inland bays might impact these small projects. “It is on the Indian River side and not the Pepper’s Creek side,” said Casey. “There are some concerns about the material that is dredged up by laying the cables might come into the aquaculture plots that could contaminate the bivalves, but there are people working on this at US Wind and DNREC who hope to keep that material out.”

good. My wife is not well, and she is not doing good because of this. She sees me under pressure and she is taking the pressure, and it makes me concerned because I worry more about her than I do the damned house,” Carr said. “I am just beside myself mentally. I am so tired at the end of the night. But we want you to know, we really appreciate anything the community can do to help us.”

Ministerium busy planning two events By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter The South East Sussex Ministerium of Delaware is planning two events, to help those in need and to celebrate Christmas. From 11:30 a.m. until Ocean View Brewery closes for the day on Monday, Nov. 6, there will be a Dine and Do-

nate, with the restaurant donating a portion of all sales to the Ministerium. Proceeds will benefit the ministerium’s emergency fund to provide housing and help pay utility bills for those in need, according to Sister Loretta Primus of St. Ann Catholic Church in Bethany Beach. The Ministerium will also host Meet Me at the Manger at Bethany

Beach Christian Church on Pennsylvania Avenue at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 9. “We sing carols. We listen to the stories from the scriptures and then was always have a message given by one of the churches. We did it outside then it got so cold last year that we moved it inside to the white building that the church calls its tabernacle,”

Primus said. “When we did it outside, people passing by on foot would stop and listen. Cars would slow down and listen, so we might have it outside this year if it isn’t too cold. “We will have a nativity out there and St. Ann’s Contemporary Music Ensemble will provide the music,” she said.

Sackett decision redefines wetlands classifications By Mike Smith Staff Reporter Delaware and the coastal region are a haven for wetlands, with more than 25 percent of the state covered by tidal or non-tidal wetlands. Wetlands improve water quality and provide habitat for fish and wildlife. According to a DNREC statewide wetlands mapping study, the First State — which is nearly at sea level — comprises nearly 60,000 acres of salt marsh and freshwater wetlands. However, that same DNREC study also shows that more than 4,000 acres of wetlands have been developed or lost due to sea-level rise in the past 15 years. The DNREC study, completed in

2022, indicated that the “Inland Bays watershed, which drains 210,064 acres of land in southern Delaware, according to Delaware’s 2017 Statewide Wetland Mapping Project, 58,906 acres of the basin are wetlands. This acreage represents 20 percent of all of Delaware’s wetlands.” In the wake of the recent decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in Sackett v. EPA — which altered how the Clean Water Act is overseen by the federal government — U.S. Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.) hosted a hearing on the future of wetlands on Wednesday, Oct. 17, at the Senate Environment & Public Works Committee hearing room in Washington, D.C. “We are talking past each other on

science and law,” he said. “I have a lot of respect for the law. But we cannot pass laws to tell waters how to flow. By changing the decades-long Clean Water Act, the Supreme Court has now changed the realities on the ground.” During an interview with the Coastal Point, Carper said, “The Clean Water Act is very clear in its intentions for wetlands and our national waterways. We now have to work within the new rules of the Sackett v. the EPA Supreme Court ruling and also resolve any of the internal differences” presented by that Sackett ruling. Carper said he was looking for consensus by hearing from various constituents last week. The hearing was titled: “Examining the Implications of

Sackett vs. Environmental Protection Agency for Clean Water Act Protections of Wetlands and Streams.” “This is an issue that has been around for as long as we have been a country,” he told the Coastal Point. “We need to find common ground for the clean water of our country. It’s not just the responsibility of the federal government but also falls upon state and local governments. Our citizens are also concerned about the quality of our water, including our drinking water. When you read the Clean Water Act, it is pretty clear what they had in mind.” “The Supreme Court did not very deftly handle this situation. The legislaSee WETLANDS page 9

Selbyville hosting artists and crafters By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter The Selbyville Volunteer Fire Department Auxiliary will host an arts and craft show and bake sale from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 4. Free and open to the public, the event, at the fire department at 30 N.

Wetlands Continued from page 8 tion does not reflect the views of the American people,” said Carper. “However, the Administration has done the right thing. They are saying, ‘This is Sackett law now, and while we don’t like it, we will follow the rules and regulations to enforce that law.’” “I think we are going to litigate the hell out of this new regulation, and we will see where the chips are going to fall,” he said of the post-Sackett rules on what constitutes wetlands, and the new definitions of “Waters of the United States.” Mazeika Patricio Sullivan, director of the Baruch Institute of Coastal Ecology & Environmental Conservation at Clemson University, said there are many “place-based examples of wetlands loss. We have lost over 50 percent of our wetlands in the country. Even at a large scale, it is always a greatly reduced land mass. In South Carolina, we have lost 40 percent of our wetlands. South Carolina has the third-highest land area of wetlands. It is part of our legacy. It supports fish and wildlife, as well as recreation. My institute finds that the education and tourism component for wetlands is critical to our state revenue.” “They are a quintessential part of our landscape and need the full safeguards of the Clean Water Act,” he added. “Everyone needs to think about their own landscapes and wetlands, because many of them will remain unprotected under Sackett.” “The EPA has changed its Clean Water Act regulations as quickly as possible, and I was surprised how quickly. They did that to allow permitting decisions to resume under Sackett. These concerns may miss the point. We have added a radical and sweeping reduction in water protection. What does this mean in terms of local community?” asked Carper. U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (DR.I.) said he believes industry lobbying organizations moved the Sackett decision to weaken wetland protection going forward: “Americans for Prosperity is run by the Koch Foundation, and they have a 501(c)(3) and (c)(4) education group, and they are also able to lobby. Those of us in politics know the (c)(4) as one of the most aggressive and powerful political battleships. When

There are some gems in there,” she said. Proceeds will benefit the auxiliary.

they show up, it’s a big clue as to what the Koch Foundation wants and the powerful big oil groups” wanted to protect. “The CATO Foundation is also funded by the Kochs,” said Whitehouse. Conservative donor Sarah Melon Scaife, Donors Trust and the Bradley Foundation, “They have all shown up,” he said. “They are all scripted and cho-

reographed — and they got what the big donors wanted in Sackett vs. EPA.” “It looks like more industry coming in and destroying the few wetlands we have here,” said Whitehouse. “They have permits, like stormwater runoff, that will impact our water. How many cumulative impacts can one community stand? It just compounds the problem.” “This Clean Water Act is meant to

maintain the health of our waterways. Do you believe it aligns with that original objective, including the biology and health of our waterways?” he asked Sullivan. “No, I don’t,” Sullivan replied. “The work on [water] connectivity and the impacts of altered connectivity points to See WETLANDS page 10

Police: Phone scams are striking seniors By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter After several Ocean View residents, particularly senior citizens, lost thousands of dollars as the result of telephone scams, Police Chief Kenneth McLaughlin is issuing a warning. “There are so many scams taking place right now and they are all differ-

ent. They’re pretty varied. We want to put people on alert. If somebody contacts them about problems with their computer or says they are from the government, do not give them any information,” McLaughlin said. Never provide bank account, bank card or Social Security numbers, or pay for sudden unsolicited services with PayPal or by purchasing Amazon or

other gift cards. “If they ask for gift cards, that should be a huge red flag that there is a problem,” McLaughlin said. “Don’t trust anyone,” he said, adding several local residents have lost thousands of dollars recently. “Somebody might call about your computer and say you have a virus on your computer. He might say, ‘This is

Joe from Microsoft. We’re getting a report of a virus on our end and we need to fix that right away’ and you might say, ‘Oh, my. Thank you,’” he said. “We are concerned because there has been a big uptick in these scams with a lot of people calling us. If you have any

“To be blunt, it shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how waters function. The connectivity report and decades of science show that we must protect upstream and upslope water, or there are serious consequences,” said Sullivan. “The science is clear. We seem to be locked in a circular pattern and need to

be more thoughtful about these rulings. It’s not linear or single binary — it’s connected,” he said of wetlands. Carper added, “We heard from testimony that Sackett doesn’t fundamentally change wetland protection. Why is this that the Endangered Species Act and Conservation Acts don’t fill the void left by the Sackett decision?” he

asked. “Those are excellent programs, but they should be supplemental to the Clean Water Act,” said Sullivan. “We can protect habitat of an organism, but many of them have limited territories and so that would only protect a spatially distinct habitat. You cannot base this on individual species.” “Also, species can be delisted” from the Endangered Species Act, “and we need a longer-range plan for the waters,” said Sullivan. “There needs to be a floor of protection for the waters.” Susan Bodine, partner at Earth & Water Law, said the existence of the other federal programs may obviate the need for specific wetlands protection. “The Supreme Court in Sackett, and all nine justices, have agreed that connectivity is not a basis for the jurisdiction” of water. “They are all agreed that this nexus is not valid.” “One rule does not cover everything, and that doesn’t mean we are going to lose the other 50 percent of our national wetlands. This very building and the Capitol were actually built on wetlands,” she told the Senate committee. “The fundamental question is: How should the wetlands be protected? Should it be a single regulatory program? The Clean Water Act has lofty goals with some regulatory programs. It by no means says we are going to have one tool, and the federal government has lots of other tools.” Carper noted, “We agreed as a Senate on the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. We are proud that it got its inception and original idea right in this room.” “Folks on our side, as Democrats, are not satisfied with Sackett. The Biden Administration tried to make the EPA regulations line up with that decision.” “In the next 14 months I have here, before retirement, I am going to be looking for consensus on this legislation and on areas where we have not yet identified” solutions, said Carper. “I have hope for consensus and more Clean Water from coast to coast in all types of states,” he said. “There are a million miles of streams that are inextricably linked. They are part of our clean water. The loss of our protections for half of our nation [wetlands] will lead to more flooding, more polluted waters. Sackett has weakened our bedrock laws. Harms will be felt nationwide.”

Elks Lodge accepting donations for event Ornaments featuring November 3, 2023

By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter

Elks Lodge No. 2173 near Selbyville is currently accepting donations for the Elks’ Hoop Shoot, to benefit children 8 to 13. Planned for 9 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 13, at Selbyville Middle School, the Hoop Shoot gives children the opportunity to make free-throw shots as part of a program that began more than 60 years ago. “Local lodges have shoots for kids in local areas.They throw 25 foul shots, 25 each. … Whoever scores highest moves on to a district shoot.The winners compete with other lodges in the southeast district — everything from the Bay Bridge southeast toward Ocean City,” Elks Lodge Exalted Ruler Loren Evans explained.

Any child may participate. They don’t have to live in Selbyville or attend school in the Indian River School District. “It teaches them courtesy, to be patient and wait for the other kids. It teaches them to be gritty and to practice to do something, to be active and not to be stuck on a cellphone. “You can stare at a phone all day and not be a better basketball player,” Evans said. “We are anticipating 122 kids will compete. … They will want to be competitive and get out in the yard and practice, and they will learn the game if they get hooked up with a physical education teacher or a parent who wants to teach them.” “There are all kinds of benefits to the program,” he said. “Once a kid goes on from the district level, the Elks picks up

the cost for the family. If they move on and go to the state or national level, the Elks picks up the expenses.” Described on the Hoop Shoot program website, at www.elks.org, the program was designed to “unleash grit for more than 50 years — long before researchers and experts concluded that grit is so important for our children.” Evans said that after competing in the local shoot, winners can go on to a district match to compete against those in other lodges, then to shoots at the state, regional and national levels. Local businesses have donated, and anyone else interested in helping to pay for T-shirts for the children, can e-mail Evans at elkcarxi@gmailcom, call him at (302) 841-1033 or mail a donation to the Selbyville Elks Lodge, P.O.

St. Ann hosts prayer service for Holy Land By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter At last week’s Prayer Service for Peace in the Holy Land, those attending were reminded of Pope Francis’ recent call for peace “amid escalating violence and the ensuing humanitarian crisis” and his admonition that it’s important to “silence the guns and let the cries of peace, of the poor, the people, the children be heard.” War doesn’t solve problems, the pope said, but only sows death and destruction while increasing hatred and multiplying revenge. Among those attending the service, on Oct. 27 at St. Ann Catholic Church in Bethany Beach, was Mary Louise

Embrey, who told Coastal Point she “spent 90 minutes … with about 150 people focusing on praying for peace in the world” and remembering how powerful prayer is. “When people unite in prayer the effect is even more powerful. Being the pacifist that I am, the horrors of Oct. 7 and beyond have been haunting me. I did find solace in being with folks who are concentrating on peace. It was purposeful time spent for peace,” Embrey said, crediting Sister Loretta Primus of St. Ann for composing the prayers, Bible verses and songs. The Rev. Karis Graham, pastor of Community Lutheran Church in Dagsboro, told Coastal Point prayer services for the Holy Land are necessary be-

Those attending prayed, asking God to “pour your power upon all your children in the Middle East: Jews, Muslims and Christians, Palestinians and Israelis” and listened to the reading of Bible verses including Isaiah 2:4, “He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide disputes for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares,

McLaughlin advised telling suspicious callers they will call them back. “If you get contacted by anyone asking you to do any of these things, contact the police department and let us check into it,” McLaughlin said.

Bethany Beach CHAC presenting Duffy Author and storyteller Jim Duffy of Secrets of the Eastern Shore will share tales of Delmarva days gone by in a talk sponsored by the Bethany Beach Cultural and Historic Affairs Committee on Tuesday, Nov. 14. A resident of Cambridge, Md., Duffy is an award-winning writer and the author of five books, including two collections of “Eastern Shore Road Trips” and the new “Shore Fun: The Wanderer’s Guide to Delmarva.” He founded the homegrown busi-

ness Secrets of the Eastern Shore with his wife, photographer Jill Jasuta, to celebrate the heritage and beauty of the Delmarva Peninsula and inspire people to get out and explore the glories of the Eastern Shore and Southern Delaware. Duffy has given storytelling presentations along these lines in dozens of towns up and down the peninsula in recent years. He also appears regularly on WBOC-TV’s Delmarva Life, telling “Throwback Thursday” tales.

This storytelling journey will venture from one town to another on the peninsula, touching on big developments and themes in history through the personal stories of triumph, struggle, and community-mindedness. He will share some of his wandering “Secrets” as well. Duffy will have copies of his books on hand for sale during a book-signing after the talk. Audience members are also welcome to bring previously purchased copies of Secrets of the Eastern

Shore books to the event for an autograph. The event will begin at 5 p.m. at the Bethany Beach Town Hall, 214 Garfield Parkway, Bethany Beach, Del. Since 2005 the Bethany Beach Cultural & Historical Affairs Committee has been sponsoring cultural events during the off season. Topics of interest run the gamut from shipwrecks and treasures to music and historic tales. All programs are free and open to the public.

anymore. “ They repeated Psalm 131, which promises finding peace in God, sang hymns including “Let There be Peace on Earth” and listened to readings, including, “Father of all mercies, we pray

for the families who have fled their homes in fear. We lift up the mothers and fathers who have escaped with only their children, leaving everything else behind. Their country has changed, their lives will never be the same and they are afraid of the future. Lord, you are the God who heals. Please bring your comfort and healing to those who are hurting.” A prayer for Jerusalem, in part, asked, “Send your spirit to encompass all those whose lives are torn apart by violence and death in Israel and Palestine. You are the advocate of the oppressed and the one whose eye is on the sparrow. Let arms reach out in healing, rather than aggression. Let hearts mourn rather than militarize.”

About 150 people attended a similar service at St Peter’s Episcopal Church in Lewes in mid-October. The Rev. Jeff Ross, pastor, said there was prayer for those involved in the war, including victims, and for those in America with relatives or roots in the Holy Land. At that service, the opening prayer was one of thanksgiving, of saying those attending gathered with deep grief “for those who have died and those who grieve, for those taken hostage and those who do not know where their loved ones are, for children who are frightened and parents who are fearful, for those who have lost their innocence and those who are losing hope.”

Wind turbines are generating high emotions They’re not yet even approved, but offshore wind turbines off our scenic coast are already generating something — high emotions. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) recently held a pair of community open houses — including one at Indian River High School — where ocean scientists provided visual impact imagery and mapping of the much-debated Maryland Offshore Wind project.The feedback from the public was, as you’d probably guess, mixed. Two prevalent notions from those opposed on the Delaware side of things are the visual of seeing the proposed offshore windfarm much more clearly than originally stated, and up to four offshore export cable corridors with landfall occurring within Delaware Seashore State Park. “It has always been so pretty here,” said Anne Sakalay, a resident

in the Towers Shore community in North Bethany. “These Maryland windfarms and proposed Delaware onshore cables are closer than we expected.There is a complete lack of transparency about this project. ... It should not be allowed so close.They keep growing the number of turbines and the height.This does not just impact us, but generations to come.” Those in favor believe a view is infinitely less important than generating renewable energy, and that arguments about environmental damages being done by these wind farms is exaggerated, and sometimes false. The good news? Both sides get to voice their opinions to the right people up to Nov. 20 as part of the public-comment phase.To do so, go to the BOEM website, and find the Maryland Offshore Wind project. Say it now — before it’s too late.

Halfway to the end, or just part one of this story? One thing to know about me if you haven’t already guessed it is that if I like a joke, you will hear it more than once. In fact, there’s a belief by some in my orbit that I’ve been training to be a father my entire life because I’ve always dabbled in the black arts of “Dad Jokes.” And there’s probably a little truth in that. But, in my defense, I was raised by a man who would respond to one of his jokes falling flat by repeating it 15 times in two minutes until you finally laughed. It mattered not if it was a laugh based on Darin J. McCann humor or one simply generated by a burning desire to make him stop. If you laughed, he won. And he won a lot. One joke that I’ve made pretty regularly for the past, say, nine years, is that on the morning of my daughter’s 18th birthday, she will wake up to a hot breakfast, a kiss on the forehead and her suitcases packed and on the front porch. It always draws a sigh, a shake of the head and a comment about just how rude yours truly can be. And now it draws a little hyperventilating on my end. My daughter turns nine next week. I’m not sure exactly how that happened already, or if the next nine will go just as fast, but, somehow, we are halfway to the point when she can just wake up and decide she doesn’t want to live with me anymore. She can set her sights on the vast world before her, pack up every lesson and bit of advice my wife and I have ever shared with her and just... leave. I know, I know. That’s still a long way to go, and I have to just “live in the now” and enjoy and treasure every moment I do have with her. But is it really that long away? It still seems like yesterday I was stumbling into a store with little-to-no sleep to grab a can of formula or a pack of diapers or some Zarbee’s Baby Cough Syrup — because every slight clearing of her throat at that point made my wife and I go into instant hysterics over the worst of possibilities. Just the other night we were comforting her over a nightmare, and Tuesday evening saw her running around with friends without a care in the world as she did some Trick-or-Treating in our neighborhood. And I’m just supposed to accept that I’m potentially halfway done with living with her and sharing in her world? Sorry. I just can’t. Not with this one. Not with my princess. It’s like I’ve entered a second phase of mid-life crisis, only it’s my midway-with-her crisis. No sports car will scratch this itch. There is no scratching this itch. It’s sheer panic over the possi-

bility that I might be halfway done with kissing her goodnight before she falls asleep, cuddling up with her on the couch on a lazy Sunday morning or going on one of our Daddy-Daughter Date Days. And it actively makes my heart hurt. There’s an old expression that I’d heard long ago that I’m about to butcher, but it goes something like this: I never knew how much I loved her until I met her. I was pretty deep into my 40s and fully enjoying my life before my daughter appeared. I didn’t feel “a void” from not having children. I wasn’t bitter for anybody else’s life who was raising a family. Life was good. My wife and I traveled quite a bit. We went out with friends. I often woke up with a headache and a sore neck because I fell asleep on a bottle of Bushmill’s the night before. You know — all the good stuff. But then Nov. 9, 2014 came around, and I was holding a screaming little pile of person on my lap while the heroes in the maternity room were trying to teach me how to keep her head secure while I held a bottle to her mouth. There was unadulterated panic flowing through my veins, sound ceased to exist and I felt like everyone else in the room was outside of a tiny bubble that only contained my daughter and I at the time. She looked up at me, and for the first time I really saw her eyes. That was it. I was a goner. And I’ve been gone ever since. It’s almost surreal how much I ache for this little human being to have the best day of her life every single day, or feel torn inside when she is scared or cries. There’s little-to-no doubt in our house who the “soft touch” is when it comes to her. A few weeks ago, she went over to her friend’s house to play for a few hours. I got a call from the mother later that evening, and she said my daughter wanted to ask me something. “Can I stay an extra hour,” she asked. “Sure. That’s fine with me.” “I knew you’d say yes.” Then laughter. Then she hung up. I had been played. And it made me laugh on my end because... well, because it was funny. There’s an old saying in poker: If you don’t spot the sucker at the table, you’re it. It’s me. I’m the sucker. And I’ll probably continue to be for at least another nine years, if not more. Happy Birthday, Princess.

Guest Column Real estate industry is at a crossroads By Dustin Parker, The Parker Group Special to the Coastal Point As we navigate one of the most transformative periods in the history of American real estate, I feel compelled to spotlight critical issues that are largely being ignored within our industry — an industry that, in my opinion, has lost its way. Major regulatory changes, economic challenges, and tech innovations are reshaping the real estate landscape. But, as professionals, are we paying attention? Sadly, the answer is often a resounding “No.” Many agents and brokers will not like what I’m about to say, likely out of self-preservation and concern for their own wallets. But the truth is, if the industry continues to focus solely on its own short-term gains, it risks its longterm relevance and falls short of adequately serving home buyers and sellers.

A regulatory tsunami:The NAR lawsuit

estate news, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) recently found itself embroiled in a lawsuit and a Department of Justice investigation. This is not mere industry gossip. The lawsuit questions the very foundation of real estate transactions and has the power to reshape the game for both professionals and consumers. The plaintiffs allege that NAR policies have lessened competition among real estate brokers, ultimately harming the consumer. According to the lawsuit, these policies, including complicated commission structures and murky agency relationships, create a market that is less transparent and less competitive. From my vantage point, these coming changes are not only inevitable but also necessary. They promise to lift the veil that has long obscured the industry, paving the way for a more transparent and equitable home-buying experience. It’s a call for professionals to elevate their standards and align more closely with consumer needs.

For those not keeping tabs on real

The Affordability Crisis: An industry’s wake-up call Housing affordability has hit a 40year low, and it’s not just a statistic — it’s a crisis. Surging interest rates above 8 percent are more than numbers; they’re barriers that put homeownership out of reach for many. This is compounded by a glaring lack of inventory, creating an imbalanced market; a market where prices keep rising, albeit slowly, but the pool of buyers is shrinking. Add to this a low level of builder confidence plus fears of a recession, and even fewer new homes are entering the market. In short, the economic framework we’ve relied on is unsustainable. It’s time for a reality check; the industry needs to acknowledge its role in perpetuating this crisis and take actionable steps for change.

Tech Revolution: No room for dinosaurs In the real estate world, the term “technology” might bring to mind better

Yoga

websites or more efficient email campaigns. But let’s set the record straight: we’re in the midst of a full-scale revolution. Groundbreaking tools like AI and automation aren’t just bells and whistles; they’re set to eradicate the “fat” — those inflated fees and cumbersome procedures — that have plagued our industry for decades. And here’s where we circle back to the future, a future so close we can almost touch it. These technological tools are laying the groundwork for transformative changes that will overhaul the very foundations of the real estate industry. Chatbots driven by machine learning algorithms, for instance, are already handling initial customer inquiries, speeding up response times and improving customer satisfaction. AI will not only match buyers and sellers with unprecedented accuracy but also underwrite loans in a matter of seconds. Virtual reality will make physically attending open houses as outdated as landlines, allowing buyers to legitimately tour properties from the comfort

Letters Reader asks County to table MPZ ordinance The following letter was addressed to Sussex County Administrator Todd Lawson and Sussex County Planning & Zoning Director Jamie Whitehouse, and forwarded along to the Coastal Point for publication.

Parker Continued from page 14 of their living rooms. Smart contracts on blockchain platforms will revolutionize the transaction process, making the days of slogging through hundreds of pages of legal documents a thing of the past.

A wake-up call and a blueprint for the future Now, here’s the uncomfortable truth that needs to be said. Many industry “veterans” view these technological advancements and the NAR lawsuit as mere hype, a temporary trend that will fizzle out. They cling to their fax machines — yes, you read that right — and gold jackets, convinced that the status quo will persist. But let’s look at the hard facts. Consumers are demanding

Gentlemen, I am writing to you in regard to the proposal to create a Master Planning Zoning Ordnance (MPZ) currently before the council. Much has been written about specific flaws in the actual ordnance, such as the use of the word “should” in much of the proposed requirements. I won’t belabor this issue and many have al-

ready spoken to this, but only point out that “should” removes the teeth from this ordinance, and it must be replaced with “shall” to give needed control of the process. Of equal and perhaps greater concern is the rush to incorporate this in to the

the same kind of efficiency, transparency, and affordability that they’ve grown accustomed to in every other aspect of their lives. Just like book buyers didn’t want to drive to Borders when they could click on Amazon, homebuyers and sellers no longer want to wade through a maze of confusing contracts, uncertainty and inflated fees. So, are we part of the problem or the solution? Will we adapt, or will we become the Kodaks and Blockbusters of the real estate world, relics of a bygone era? This isn’t just a wake-up call; it’s a blueprint for the future — a future I’m so excited about that I jump out of bed at 4 a.m. every day to work on it. Our team is actively building the tools that will meet these challenges head-on. And yet, there are those in our industry who either don’t have the skills or flatout refuse to adapt. Shame on the

naysayers and dinosaurs; they’re missing the boat and ignoring the most important question. What does the consumer want? The bottom line: if you’re in the industry and not actively working to be part of the solution, then you are undoubtedly part of the problem. Gamechanging shifts are on the horizon, and they will revolutionize the real estate experience. We’re at a crucial juncture with the incredible opportunity to invent new ways of doing business that align with what the consumer not only wants but deserves. Yet, too many in our industry remain inwardly focused, prioritizing their interests over consumer needs. It’s high time we ask ourselves: are we the visionaries who step up to lead this transformative shift, or will we be left behind, relics of a bygone time? I know where I stand.

LB celebrates Fire Prevention Week By Mike Smith Staff Reporter National Fire Prevention Week took place around the country from Oct.8–14 this year, and the annual poster and essay contest is a chance for students in elementary schools to share their messages about the importance of fire safety in the home. The National Fire Prevention (NFPA) announced the theme for this year’s Fire Prevention Week: “Cooking Safety Starts with You.” Fire Prevention Week,which was held in midOctober last week,also provides educational plans for local educators.At Lord Baltimore Elementary School,the entire school is involved in fire prevention curriculum training from kindergarten to grade five. “Fire Prevention Week is a prime example of what we mean when we say Lord Baltimore is a community school,”said Principal Pam Webb. “Our local firefighters meet with administration in the summer to schedule the funfilled day of Fire Safety lessons and activities. Students in grades K-3 work with our art teacher,Jacqui Yerkes to create Fire Safety Posters depicting the designated topics from the state. Students in grades 4 and 5 use their writing talents to create an informative essay about Fire Safety.We appreciate the generosity of our friends from the Millville Volunteer Fire

Letters Continued from page 15 county code.The County’s recent workshop on possible revisions to our land use requirements, including the preservation of more trees and many other similar issues to ensure that growth takes into account the impact sea level rise, subsidence and climate change will have on the county should make it clear taking on the MPZ in isolation from a complete review of the code is counter-productive. Even if you do not believe these issues are manmade, no one can deny the impact increased flooding is having irrespective of the cause. I actually favor MPZ-like Ordinances that are part of an overall plan to make sure further development takes into account its impact on existing residents and is part of the comprehensive planning to insure we do not break faith with those already living in the area. The problem with putting this particular cart before the horse is even if further work by the council leads to tighter controls on run off, forest buffers and other similar concerns the failure to have such projects covered as part of that process is issues they cause can not be fixed for projects already green-lighted prior to that work’s completion.The county must develop a new framework that reflects current and future needs, not one item at a time, but as truly part of a new comprehensive plan and where all needs are not

suggestions but matter of law. Clearly there can be some flexibility but there must be a firm base for that. Lacking in all of this is addressing issues from the past that need to be faced before creating more problems for the future. Allowing dense development in areas that have no evacuation route in the coastal area is not just poor planning but putting people at risk.There should also be requirements associated with this type of development. Land banking for future needs should be required. Land should be held for future schools, medical facilities, law enforcement and recreational needs. Developers of such large-scale development should also have to contribute funds so multi-use trails they create can be integrated into useful safe passage for walkers, joggers and cyclists.The current requirement that the community have on their border is useless if there is no way to connect them into a meaningful network. Please table this until the work began on addressing the community’s concerns are addressed and it can be integrated into a truly comprehensive plan that has teeth and benefits new and current residents. Sincerely, Martin Lampner Co-Chair Evans Farm Watch

Time for public comments on wind Editor: Planned offshore wind projects are

November 3, 2023

three- to five-times as expensive as alternative options to reduce emissions, such as, onshore wind, solar, carbon capture, and advanced nuclear power. Offshore wind is an environmental wrecking ball. These projects will probably edge the critically endangered North American right whale to extinction. No studies have been conducted on the impacts on horseshoe crabs despite projects being built atop the horseshoe crab preserve and in the fly way for the endangered Red Knot bird that depends on horseshoe crab eggs to survive its 9,000-mile migration. Federal law authorizing offshore wind limits the adverse impact on historic uses of the ocean. Federal Environmental Impact Statements say; “The daytime presence of offshore wind turbines, as well as turbine nighttime lighting, would change perception of ocean scenes from natural and undeveloped to developed, and would be an unavoidable presence dominating the view.” Our local and national treasure of pristine ocean views will be gone along with the important lost economic benefit of less tourism. Commercial fishing will abandon lease areas totaling an area on the east coast equal to twice the size of New Jersey if all planned projects are built. Vessel collisions will increase while Coast Guard Search & Rescue operations will be hampered, possibly leading to human deaths. There will be no way to conduct important scientific surveys, such as determining seafood take limits. Yet federal

agencies have approved projects again and again. Adding to this list of issues even federal agencies list as having major adverse impacts, turbines will interfere with civilian and military radar, hurricane damage could leak up to 500,000 gallons of fuel and lubricants, and operational noise, ocean stratification, and electromagnetic field effects are unknown. These are Maryland projects however, there is no specification land filled material such as turbine blades will be placed in Maryland. The Indian River Bay is classified as a Water of Exceptional Recreational Significance and a Harvestable Shellfish Water. Transmission cables from the Block Island offshore wind project became exposed several years ago despite the burial of 6 feet or more, and it took years to get the cables reburied. Placing four high voltage cables in the bay only 3-feet deep should be viewed as unacceptable instead of the developer’s first choice. We encourage others to make public comments before the Nov. 20 deadline at www.regulations.gov reference docket BOEM-2023-0050.

SCHS grad Waters honored The Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice (SDARJ) recently honored Howard T. Ennis School student Bryant Waters Jr. for his leadership, effort and excellence. Waters graduated from Sussex Central High School in May 2023 and began this summer with Howard T. Ennis’ STEP program. He is an active and contributing member of the student body. He participated in a PTO-sponsored student group that went out into the community to share information about Howard T. Ennis’ programs, and solicit donations and items for a silent auction. The group also explored partnership opportunities with local businesses as a way of enhancing students’ vocational skills. “Bryant was one of the key students who spoke about his experiences, skills and goals, and helped broker a partnership with the Freeman Foundation,” SDARJ representatives noted. “As a result, some students are now greeters at Freeman Foundation events and are learning valuable customer-facing skills.” During his senior year at Sussex

Central High School in the Howard T. Ennis satellite partnership classroom, Waters completed a six-week internship program at Plantation Lakes Golf Course. He acquired skills in landscaping, food and beverage, retail, golf course landscape management and care for equipment. “Additionally, Bryant was instrumental in helping launch the STEP program’s new coffee/snack shop, Deja Brew. Bryant is one of the top salespeople there.” Waters 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 recognized throughout the school year. SDARJ is a nonpartisan organization that educates, informs, and advocates for racial justice, equality and fair opportunity. For more information, go to sdarj.org.

Surf’s Edge has a new face in place By Kerin Magill Staff Reporter

& Package For the past 20 years, Brian Lesniewski has been the friendly face behind the counter of Surf ’s Edge Deli and Pizzeria in Fenwick Island. On Sept. 30, Lesniewski handed over the keys to the popular deli’s new owner, Patrick Shuey. “I didn’t know a darn thing,” Lesniewski said of the day he bought the former pizza shop. “I saw the sign in the window that it was for sale and I bought it. So, I took it over and started from nothing.” A fire a few months after he opened brought about another new start, he said. The fire, in November 2003, closed the shop for repairs for a few months but Lesniewski said he was able to open his doors again by Memorial Day of 2004. “I didn’t know a thing about running a business,” he said, but “day by day and year by year it just started getting busier and busier and I just became successful.” He acknowledged that there was a steep learning curve for the first few years, but by year five, he said, he had developed a sense of what worked. Lesniewski, 57, said he initially thought he would stay with Surf ’s Edge for 10 years. When that milestone

That was when Lesniewski said he finally decided, “OK, it’s time to move on.” “It was fun. Met a lot of people. New friends, new family,” he said, recalling that customers who came in as youngsters “now come in with THEIR kids.” Some of the young adults who worked

for him when he first opened are now having grandkids,” he said. “That’s when I knew I had to get out,” he laughed. “So Patrick’s gonna take it over for the next 20 years and then he’s going to give it to his son,” who is now almost 2, Lesniewski said, still smiling. “I’m 31,” Shuey said. “A spring chicken.”

County wins award for excellence in financial reporting Sussex County’s fiscal management has hit the jackpot once again, earning the County top honors for the 21st time in as many years. The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States & Canada, based in Chicago, this month awarded Sussex County its Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the 2022 compre-

hensive annual financial report. The award is among the highest forms of recognition for governmental accounting and financial reporting. The award is an acknowledgment of Sussex County’s comprehensive annual financial report, which was judged by an impartial panel to meet the association’s high standards. The document includes the County’s annual audit, showing as-

sets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses. It also contains information about county demographics and the local economy. That information helps those reviewing the report — such as investors — to better gauge the County’s financial condition. “We are grateful and proud to be recognized with this very important honor, which is a reflection of a lot of

hard work by our talented team,” County Finance Director Gina A. Jennings said. “Awards are nice, but the truest sense of satisfaction and accomplishment comes from having earned and maintained the trust and respect of not just our peers, but the public we serve. “That will always be the pinnacle we strive for year after year,” Jennings said.

ownership, and for Shuey to learn the ropes. He was already a fan of the deli, and a customer. “I’ve known Brian for years,” he said. “I live right behind here, so it’s a nice convenient walk, and then my wife (Emma Shuey) owns the Fenwick Island Surf Shop across the street, so she can always keep an eye on me,” he said. In addition to his son, Jude, the Shueys are parents to a new baby, Eloise, who made her appearance in August. “Yeah, September was a little hectic,” Shuey said, “with her coming into the world, and then I took this over on Sept. 26. It was a lot; I’m still adjusting some, but everything’s moving in the right direction,” he said. “I’m not gonna change much,” Shuey said of the shop’s menu, which ranges from burgers to shrimp salad, and boasts locally made desserts. “If it’s not broken,

don’t fix it. “I just want to get through this first summer, see how things work, see if I can make things better,” he said. “Brian’s been around, and very helpful with everything,” Shuey said. In addition to running the deli, Shuey will oversee Surf ’s Edge’s busy catering business. Lesniewski said catering keeps the shop busy especially during the slower winter months, but he has also built up a reputation for providing food for summer parties, weddings and other events. “We do a lot of party trays for a lot of realtors and offices in the winter,” Lesniewski said. Even during the off-season, Surf ’s Edge maintains “pretty much” its full menu, Shuey said, with a slight shift toward wintertime favorites such as soups and chili. Current lunch specials for $9 cater to

locals, with choices including a burger and fries, or a cup of soup with half a turkey or ham sandwich, a gyro or half a cheesesteak with fries. “Surf Rat Fries,” a favorite of locals and tourists alike, are “smothered in cheese, with bacon, scallions and a side of ranch.” Shuey said he will probably close from mid-January to mid-February, opening in time for Presidents’ Day weekend, “and go from there.” Surf ’s Edge generally has four or five employees during the off-season, expanding to 10 or 12 during the busy summer season, Lesniewski said. “I’m just excited for this next venture,” Shuey said. “I couldn’t ask for a better person to take over,” Lesniewski said. Surf ’s Edge Deli and Pizzeria is located at 100 Coastal Highway, Unit 4, Fenwick Island. For more information, call (302) 537-5565.

Continued from page 21 “Somebody had mentioned to me that Brian was talking … about wanting sell the place, so I walked on in here before it went on the market or anything like that,” he said. Shuey may be a familiar face to Surf ’s Edge customers, having worked at nearby Jimmy’s Kitchen for seven years and part-time at Misaki Sushi for two years. Before that, he worked at Café Mirage in Ocean City, Md., for a few years. A native of Annapolis, Shuey said he worked in delis during his high school and college years. “I’ve been around the restaurant business and food for a long time, so it’s fairly second-nature,” he said. Lesniewski and Shuey began meeting in June to plan the transition in

Obituaries George Edward Bowers, 67 George Edward Bowers, 67, of Selbyville, died Tuesday, October 17, 2023 at home. He was born in Baltimore, MD and was the son of the late George H. Bowers and Geraldine (Schultz) Bowers. He was a retired Human Resources Manager for W.R. Grace.

Real EDvice What is a ground lease and what are the risks? You have finally saved up, worked those extra hours and laughed at your boss’ terrible jokes, and are ready to invest in a place of your own at the beach. Your Realtor shows you a spectacular place that checks every criteria off your list. But, they Townsend then tell you that it’s subject to ground rent. You have flashbacks to your terrible landlord from senior year of college where you fought to get a sliver of your security deposit back. This means that you have to pay a monthly fee on top of what you are paying for your mortgage, homeowner’s insurance, HOA dues, and utilities in order to lease the land which you do not own. If you are considering a property with leased land, take note. If true ownership is important to you, be sure you locate a place with the option to redeem the ground rent so that you can extinguish the lease and own outright. Most importantly, if you are financing your purchase, be sure to work with a lender familiar with ground leases, as ones that are not can cost you another year of summer Fridays in the office instead of enjoying an ocean view.

Similar to renting an apartment, a “ground lease” creates a landlord-tenant relationship between the parties. You buy a house, but the house is subject to a ground lease, meaning you own the house for the remainder of the ground lease term…could be Conway 20, 50, 99 years. For those years, you are leasing the house from the landlord, and when the term is up, out you go… this may not be a house you leave to your grandchildren. You generally have much greater rights under a ground lease compared to a traditional rental situation. You can remodel, you can obtain a mortgage, and you can sell. But there are risks, as you do not own the house outright, in “fee simple.” The primary risk to understand is that as the ground lease term reaches its end, the value of the property declines. You can only sell what you own, and if what you own is, say, five years left on a ground lease, what is that worth to potential buyers? Further, obtaining a mortgage will be difficult as the term ticks down. After all, a lender is not going to approve a 30-year mortgage if the ground lease expires in 10 years.

Generally speaking, a ground lease form of property ownership is where you purchase the structure, but you do not own the fee simple title to the underlying land upon which your structure sits. When property is transferred, you obtain an Assignment of Leasehold Interest Hudson instead of a typical Deed.The Assignment of Leasehold interest is recorded at the Recorder of Deeds in the County where the property is located just like a Deed.This gives the public notice that you, as the “leasehold interest owner,” have the rights to the property. It may be a municipality or a private owner that owns the underlying land in fee simple.The leasehold interest owner pays a periodic fee to the actual owner for the leasehold rights.The leasehold interest owner would pay the property taxes, utilities, and appropriate insurance as would a fee simple owner of real estate. The downside to this form of ownership is that, in addition to the typical property maintenance costs, there is the aforementioned ground rent expense.This rent/lease fee is subject to change as per the terms of the lease. Perhaps the largest drawback is the chance that the fee simple may decide not to renew the lease when it terminates.This is unlikely, but it is always a possibility.

Delaware on Tap Trail relaunched with new look The Delaware Tourism Office announced this week an updated way for both visitors and residents to support the state’s many locally-owned craft beverage businesses using a new seamless Delaware On Tap Trail interface. Users can explore Delaware’s many breweries, wineries, distilleries, cideries, and meaderies all through one platform, which can be easily accessed on the Delaware On Tap Trail website at https://www.visitdelaware.com/de-ontap. “Delaware’s more than $4 billion tourism industry is a key part of the state’s economy, and the craft beverage industry is an important element of that,” said Delaware Tourism Office Director Jessica Welch. “Finding new ways

to draw visitors and residents alike into these businesses is at the core of our office’s mission. As the craft beverage industry continues to evolve, we believe the Delaware on Tap Trail should also evolve to create a climate and community that helps craft beverage businesses to thrive.” Under the new platform, users can “check in” at various craft beverage sites throughout the state. Each site visit earns the user points on an upgraded points system. Once users accumulate a defined number of points, they can redeem unique Delaware on Tap prizes. To sweeten the deal and encourage users to sign up through the new platform, the Delaware Tourism Office is offering free Delaware on Tap T-shirts

to the first 100 participants who checkin at 10 participating trail locations. “We’re very appreciative of the Delaware Tourism Office’s efforts to assist us and Delaware’s entire craft beverage community with our mission to provide customers with Delaware-made products that are unique and innovative,” said Mike Rasmussen, coowner of Painted Stave Distilling in Smyrna. “We frequently see visitors who stop in as participants on the Delaware on Tap Trail, and the new platform will help even more craft beverage lovers find our business and the other businesses on the trail.” The Delaware on Tap Trail is one of Visit Delaware’s three Trails of Discovery. Each trail gives tourists a unique

way to see the state. The other two trails are the Delaware History Trail and the Delaware Discoveries Trail. Delaware Tourism Office plans to relaunch the other two existing trails and new trails in the future under this updated platform, allowing a seamless transition between experiences for both visitors and residents of the state, officials said. Launched initially in 2010 with 12 locations under the Delaware Wine & Ale Trail name, the Delaware on Tap Trail now boasts more than 35 participating businesses. From breweries and wineries to distilleries, cideries and meaderies, the variety of offerings continues to expand and support the state’s growing craft beverage industry.

Carney releases 2023 Trauma Informed Care Report Gov. John Carney on Oct. 19 released the Family Services Cabinet Council’s 2023 Trauma Informed Care Report. The report details the State’s progress in serving Delaware families through the trauma-informed perspective and establishes goals for the future. The report was discussed at a roundtable Thursday, Oct. 19, with First Lady Tracey Quillen Carney, members of the Cabinet, State of Delaware leaders, Trauma Matters

Delaware and trauma advocates. “This plan serves as a critical benchmark for the work ahead,” said Gov. Carney. “Trauma-informed care is a cultural shift that empowers state employees, community partners, and state leaders to truly serve Delaware families, but it takes time to implement correctly. I want to thank the members of the Family Services Cabinet Council and Trauma Matters Delaware for their

to partner with the many stakeholders and agencies committed to empowering individuals and families.” “We are excited to share our latest efforts in this report, which reflect our ongoing commitment to empowering Delaware communities and organizations,” said Erin Mitchell of Trauma Matters Delaware. “This project embodies our core values of collaboration, inclusivity and resilience. Together, we aim to make a meaningful and lasting impact on the lives of those we serve, continue to share trauma-informed best practices, and ensure everyone can thrive, even in the face of adversity.” In 2018, Gov. Carney signed Executive Order 24, making Delaware a trauma-informed state. Executive Order 24 directs the Family Services Cabinet Council to lead state agencies and state employees in improving services and outreach for children and families exposed to trauma.

leadership and dedication to supporting those affected by trauma.” “Promoting a more effective recognition and response to childhood trauma is a primary pillar of our first spouse initiative, First Chance Delaware,” said the First Lady. “Being welcomed as a partner in efforts to give Delaware’s children a ‘first chance’ to succeed has been the privilege of a lifetime.” “Through my public service and as a grief counselor and nurse, I’ve seen how trauma impacts a person individually and deeply, resulting in collateral consequences like incarceration and mental health challenges, and ripple effects across our communities,” said Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long, PhD, RN. “The Family Services Cabinet Council, First Lady and Trauma Matters Delaware have recognized and responded to the need for trauma-informed care in our state. This report lays a foundation for the future. I look forward to continuing

The JOY Group of Grace United Methodist Church in Millsboro will sponsor a holiday bazaar and street fair to raise funds to help those having difficulty paying utility and other bills. The community is welcome to the event, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 4, and there is no admission charge, said Betty Paper, who leads The JOY Group, an acronym reminder, she said, that Jesus comes first, others second and “you” last. “We are having a holiday bazaar but it turned into a street fair. We will have Christmas decorations, home goods, new clothes that have never been worn and some very gently used clothing, as well as Christmas ornaments and wreaths. We have two big clocks with 20-inch faces for sale,” she said. A silent auction is planned for a hand-stitched Amish quilt. “When we decided to do this, we looked at our closet and we felt we have extra things we didn’t need and we wanted to share them with other people. We also wanted to fund something for people who absolutely are in need, to make life simpler for them to L actually exist. “You can’t do it without heat. You S do it without food and you can’t can’t do it if your car doesn’t work,” Peper said. The church has a congregation of 300 members. Anyone who needs help can call the church office at (302) 934-7969.

Women’s Club gets fashionable for a cause More than 200 women attended the annual Fashion Show and luncheon of the Lord Baltimore Women’s Club where more than $9,000 was raised for LBWC’s 2023 scholarship fund, local education programs, veterans’ groups and various community organizations that give back to the community. This event was recently held at Bayside Resort Golf Club, featuring fashions from Chico’s in Rehoboth Beach — which were modeled by LBWC members. LBWC expressed thanks for the local restaurants and business owners, as well as LBWC members that generously donated gifts, gift cards and various services, which were beautifully displayed in the many auction baskets created by a committee of hard-working members.

Richard Wayne Rogers, Sr., 76 Richard Wayne Rogers, Sr., 76, of Long Neck, stepped into the presence of his Savior on Oct. 28, 2023. His passing marks the end of an era along the banks of the Indian River near Warwick, Del. Mastering the River in a small wooden rowboat at an early age, he developed an intimate knowledge of its currents and tides and its response to weather patterns and lunar cycles. This served him well throughout his life on the water, fishing, crabbing, hunting and water skiing. It seemed appropriate that a full Hunter’s moon kept its vigil over the River he loved and the broken hearts of his family and a multitude of friends on the night of his Homegoing. Respected and well-loved, he would spend hours on the family property at the Screenhouse at Downs Landing, where a steady stream of friends would drop by to visit. Laughter traveled lightly across the water as he regaled them with stories, told in his quiet, easy way with his dry humor and quick wit. He was a veteran of the U.S. Navy, serving abroad from 1966-1970 on the USS Moale as a marine me-

chanic. He kept a promise to himself that if he ever got back to Sussex County he would never leave again. He was a third-generation custom builder and a self-taught draftsman. He took over the family business from his father and then started his own successful company, Richard Wayne Rogers and Son Construction in 1975. He was preceded in death by his parents, John T. and Mabel Downs Rogers; a sister, Barbara Ann Rogers; a brother, Johnny Rogers; and his beloved wife of 46 years, Gail E. Baker Rogers. He is survived by his son, Richard Wayne Rogers, Jr. and his girlfriend, Sara Wingate, his daughter, Wendy Rogers and her son, Jaxon; a sister, Linda Rogers Miller and her husband, Wayne; and a large extended family of nieces, nephews and cousins. A funeral will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 3, 2023, at Watson Funeral Home & Crematorium, 211 S. Washington St., Millsboro, DE 19966, where the viewing begins at 10 a.m. Interment with Military Honors will be held at 2 p.m. at the Delaware Veterans Memorial Cemetery, 26669 Patriots Way, Millsboro, DE 19966. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations in his memory to Delaware Hospice, 100 Patriots Way, Milford, DE 19963. Please visit his Life Memorial Webpage and sign his online guestbook at www.watsonfh.com.

MSO concerts provide options for everyone The Mid-Atlantic Symphony recently announced its November concerts, Nov. 3 at 7:30 p.m. at Epworth United Methodist Church in Rehoboth Beach, Nov. 4 at 3 p.m. at the Performing Arts Center in Ocean City, Md., and Nov. 5 at 3 p.m. at the Todd Performing Arts Center in Wye Mills, Md. The concert program will showcase a repertoire including “Overture” by Elfrida Andrée, “Symphonic Variations on an African Air” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and “Symphony No. 5 (Reformation)” by Felix Mendelssohn. Andrée was a pioneering Swedish composer and conductor who lived from 1841 to 1929. She was a significant figure in the late Romantic era and made a notable contribution to the world of classical music, particularly considering that she was a female

in a male-dominated field. One of her most well-known compositions is the “Overture in D major, Op. 43,” described as “a lively and exuberant orchestral work that reflects the spirit of the Romantic era. Written in 1873, this composition showcases Andrée’s remarkable talent as both a composer and conductor during a time when women’s contributions to classical music were even more overlooked than they are in modern times.” The second piece of music in the concert is Samuel Coldridge-Taylor’s “Symphonic Variations on an African Air.” During his lifetime, ColeridgeTaylor was regarded as one of England’s most preeminent composers. “Though he died very young (at only 37), the celebration of his life spanned the Atlantic, with fanfare concerts everywhere from London to Boston and beyond. In the decades

that followed, his music largely fell out of the public eye, and was extremely seldom performed. As a result, a significant amount of his music is not published today. Fortunately, his music is being performed again by major orchestras around the world.” Concluding the concert is Felix Mendelssohn’s “Symphony No. 5,” known as his “Reformation Symphony.” “This staple of the symphonic repertoire is a work of profound historical and musical significance which the audience will no doubt be familiar with. Composed in 1830, this symphony stands as a testament to Mendelssohn’s creativity and his deep connection to his faith and his time. The name ‘Reformation Symphony’ reflects this symphony’s association with the 300th anniversary of the Augsburg Confession, a key event in the Protestant Reformation. It was

Women’s Civic Club of Bethany Beach supports community

Coastal Point • Submitted

Dottie Schmitt poses with food items collected to show appreciation for members of the military.

Members of the Women’s Civic Club of Bethany Beach spent countless hours giving back to the community during the summer and fall. In July, members volunteered for the Friends of the South Coastal Library’s — 31st Annual Beach and Bay Cottage Tour. They greeted visitors, shared facts about the house and directed the flow of people. If you attended the Bethany Beach Farmers Market on Sundays during the summer, you probably noticed our members, who worked under the direction of Carolyn Corrigan, the Volunteer Coordinator. The volunteers monitored the entrance and exit while they managed the continuous movement of customers. Since pets are not permitted in the market area, the volunteers have also watched some playful dogs. A bowl of water and a supply of yummy treats were always available for our furry friends. A partnership between DelDOT’s Adopt-A-Highway and the Women’s Civic Club of Bethany Beach was initiated in 2016 by Shirley Weisel. The roadway selected was Kent Avenue in Bethany. WCCBB members provide three cleanups per year and are committed to making a difference in the environment. Although hard work is involved, they enjoy the satisfaction from knowing their efforts are keeping the beach area beautiful. Twice a year, the WCCBB supports the USO. Dottie Schmitt collected non-perishable food items as well as a multitude of gift cards to demonstrate our appreciation of the men and women in the military. The Women’s Civic Club of Bethany Beach meets monthly and welcomes new members in the Sussex County area. Look for them on Facebook.

Best Bets FRIDAY Let’s Make a Deal Primetime (6) WBOC 8 p.m. It’s time to check your purses for an obscure item selected by the whims of host Wayne Brady in this vacation-themed prime-time special of the classic game show. Contestants must select the right door to win. Dateline NBC (11) WBAL 9 p.m. Lester Holt hosts a brand-new episode of NBC’s long-running newsmagazine. With the help of NBC’s expert reporters, viewers get the full picture on the most compelling stories of the day, from breaking news to nearly frozen cold cases.

SATURDAY Cowboys & Aliens (3) CW 8 p.m. Bearing a mysterious metal shackle on his wrist, an amnesiac gunslinger (Daniel Craig) wanders into a frontier town called Absolution. He quickly finds that strangers are unwelcome, and no one does anything without the approval of tyrannical Col. Dolarhyde (Harrison Ford). But when Absolution faces a threat from beyond Earth, the stranger finds that he is its only hope of salvation. He unites townspeople, outlaws and Apache warriors against the alien forces in an epic battle for survival. Saturday Night Live (11) WBAL 11:30 p.m. From the Rockefeller Center in New York, a hilarious cast including Colin Jost and others, are joined by a weekly celebrity host and special musical guest as they perform sketches and shorts in front of a studio audience.

SUNDAY Krapopolis (5) FOX (69) WTXF 8:30 p.m. All looks to be sunshine and rainbows for Tyrannis as he starts dating the goddess Demeter. However, mother Deliria doesn’t approve of Tyrannis being offered a chance at immortality. Meanwhile, Stupendous and Hippocampus venture to Hades for a shield. Married to Medicine (61) BRAV 9:15 p.m. It might be just what the doctor ordered when “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum Phaedra Parks joins the cast in the Season 10 premiere.

Indian River senior Brynn Crandell, wearing yellow jersey, prepares to break away from the pack during the Sussex County Championship meet held on Wednesday, Oct. 25, at Sandhill Fields in Georgetown. Crandell won the race and set a course record.

Crandell wins fourth County title By Jason Feather Staff Reporter With a pace of 5:34 per mile, Indian River High School’s Brynn Crandell once again cruised to the Sussex County Cross Country Championship at Sandhill Fields on Wednesday, Oct. 25. The senior easily brought home her fourth straight county gold medal with an overall time of 17:18.4, which was well over a minute ahead of the secondplace runner — Paige Ballinger, an 8thgrader at Sussex Academy. Other Indians in the race included

Heather Smyth, who was 20th with a time of 23:50.8. Leila Hernandez Sandoval was 24th with a time of 24:03.7, while teammate Issabella MacKinnon was 30th with a time of 24:51.9. Sussex Academy won the team title with 25 points thanks to the strong races from Ballinger, Lily Bowe, Makenna Blades, Katya Geyer, and Riley Moriarty, who all finished in the Top 10 overall. Cape Henlopen was second with 40 points that included four girls in the Top 10 led by the 4th place finish of Hailey Hassell. Ava Dolan, Allaire Burton, and Zoe Miller were the

other three for the Vikings. The Indians were third overall in the team standings with 83 points. In the boys’ race, Cape Henlopen took the top five spots to easily win the team championship. Jason Baker was 1st overall with a time of 16:25.2. He was followed by teammates Joseph DeGregory (16:58.3), Brayden Redd (17:01.1), Maxwell Gillen (17:11.2), and Andrew Radka (17:23.8). Sussex Academy was second overall with 70 points thanks to Ryan Moody, Duncan Winger and Harrison Dabbs leading the charges.

IR’s top finisher was Cade Donnelly, who posted a time of 18:20.2. Aiden Magee was 14th overall in the race with his time of 18:54.7, and Gavin Harrell also was within the Top 20 at 18th overall clocking a 19:33.0. David Miller (22nd) and John Spencer (23rd) helped the Indians to a third-place finish in the team standings. The Henlopen Athletic Conference Championship race will take place on Saturday, Nov. 4, at the Killens Pond State Park. All 16 conference members are expected to have runners in attendance.

Stokes strikes for three TDs in IR win By Mike Stern Staff Reporter This was no field trip. Truth be told, this was a serious business excursion for the Indian River High football team. And the Indians answered the call to order by emphatically completing a hostile takeover with an explosive rushing attack en route to a 28-7 first quarter lead. The remaining 36 minutes were a mere formality. Head coach Phil Townsend’s charges advanced further into the fray for post season playoff positioning with a convincing 42-7 triumph over the host St. Andrew’s Saints. The triumph enabled the Indians to remain in a tie with First State Military Academy at 3-2 in district play and 5-3

overall.The Green & Gold is ahead of 2-3 St. Andrew’s, Conrad and Seaford as well as 0-5 Early College.They trail 4-1 Brandywine and Polytech. Only the top two District 1 and District 2 teams are assured of reaching the postseason. In each district, there is also the potential of up to four schools for a Class 1A total of eight that will earn playoff berths based on a points index achieved by victories. As a result, the Indians will probably have to sweep their last two regular season games at Conrad this Friday night, and at home on Nov. 9 against FSMA. “The team as a whole had an outstanding game,” said Townsend. “I told the guys all week this is not a field trip, it’s a business trip. We got out of school at 10 o’clock on Friday morning for an odd 3 p.m. opening

Experience Makes the Difference.

kickoff. I did not want that to be a distraction. We needed to get up there and take care of business, and they did exactly what we asked of them.” Sophomore tailback Darnell Stokes sounded the opening bell with two of his three long distance touchdown runs covering 64 and 47 yards, respectively for a 14-0 lead midway through the first quarter. The IRHS defense also got into the act when junior cornerback/safety Jayvion Chandler scooped up a Saints’ fumble and took it 35 yards into the end zone for a 200 Indians’ lead.The bobble was created by a combination of high and low tackles delivered by seniors Bryce Johnson and Collin King, respectively. Sophomore running back Davon Handy extended the visitors’ lead to 28-7 after one stanza on a 47-yard TD run and a

two-point conversion burst. Handy finished with 83.5 yards on nine carries. Stokes notched his career high third rushing TD of the game covering 76 yards to give the Green & Gold a 35-7 lead at intermission. Darnell finished with a career-high 187 yards on his trio of touches. “Darnell did a great job finding the running lanes and made moves when he needed to,” said Townsend after the Indians amassed 398.5 yards of offense, all of it on the ground. “He is incredibly fast, and once he got past the first level of defense, they were not catching him. A lot of his success came from his teammates’ blocking, as well as their ability to sustain blocks downfield. Everyone on the offense did a really good job. It was a group effort in regard to our blocking.” Chandler finished the scoring with another long-distance run covering 81 yards in the third quarter to finish with 122 yards on 13 touches. Indians’ sophomore quarterback Dylan Grise, who threw just two incomplete passes all afternoon, did an excellent job of running the offense.

The Indians’ defense bent but never broke, allowing only one TD despite surrendering 275 yards of total offense. Saints’ senior quarterback Frank Nasta connected on an 8-yard TD pass to senior wide receiver Yasir Felton that cut IR’s lead to 20-7 with 2:35 left in the second quarter. “We had a good week of practice working on the pass defense,” said Townsend. “Our guys really took what we worked on all week and put it into action Friday afternoon. I have a good feeling as a coach when they go out there and just get it done. It was very hot, and we rotated in a lot of guys to keep them fresh.This was a group effort, and I couldn’t be happier.” Defensively, King led the team with 12 tackles, senior Nick Butts added seven stops and sophomore Luis Hicks chipped in with five. Sophomores Michael Peranteau and Stokes, as well as freshman Ty Weber each broke up a pass. Senior defensive back Robert Ribinsky contributed four tackles and an interception while Chandler forced a Saints’ fumble Despite the one-sided victory, coach Townsend thinks his team can play even better. “We took some mid-season lumps but we just needed to continue to focus on ourselves,” he said following his team’s second straight triumph. “We keep improving each week. I believe we have not reached our full potential, so the next two weeks should be exciting. Our goal is to hit our peak going into the playoffs.”

Soccer squad finishes strong — eyes playoffs By Mike Stern Staff Reporter This was a roller coaster of a boys’ soccer season for Indian River High. The Indians opened with a fivegame unbeaten streak. Then came a mid-season struggle during which they surrendered goals in the final 10 minutes of regulation four times in a sixgame span. Fortunately for the Indians, they finished the final week of the regular season on a predominantly positive note. They gamely battled Division II defending state champion Caravel Academy to a scoreless tie in the rain and wind at the Turf Sports Complex on Monday, October 30.

The 8-4-3 Indians also lost a heartbreaker in overtime to Division I power Wilmington Charter on Saturday, October 28 after dominating Henlopen Conference Southern Division rival Lake Forest, 4-0 on Thursday, October 26. Head coach Brandt Mais and his student athletes awaited word on when and where they would begin the DIAA state playoff tournament. The Indians have captured three Division II state crowns from 2013-2020

against the 8-5-1 Buccaneers. Caravel outshot IR by a 16-3 margin and won the corner kick count, 11-2. As a result, junior goalkeeper Kai Kelley had to put a 100-minute lock on the goalposts and heroically record his seventh shutout of the season and the 16th clean sheet of his IR career. Kai also finished the regular season with 89 saves.

second half. Charter tied it 1-1 five minutes later. Goalkeeper Kelley made eight saves.

Indian River 4, Lake Forest 0 (OT) The Indians began the week with a well-played 4-0 triumph over host Lake Forest. Junior Leo Chester registered the Indians’ first three-goal performance of the campaign, and junior Deny CruzBonilla added a goal. Goalkeeper Kelley made three saves to register his sixth shutout of the season. Chester finished the regular season with nine goals, six assists and 24 points, all team highs, while Cruz-Bonilla added seven goals and 17 points.

IR ‘O-Line’ helps launch five touchdown runs By Mike Stern Staff Reporter For offensive linemen, it is a dream come true. Peering into the distance afar after completing their blocks, the offensive center, tackles and guards are overcome with the self-gratitude of having successfully completed their to-do list. Their running back teammate has crossed the opposing goal line to culminate a long-distance run. Those moments of well-deserved self-gratitude occurred after three Indian River High running backs com-

bined for five lengthy runs into football’s promised land in last Friday’s 42-7 victory over Class 1A, District 2 rival St. Andrew’s. The well-seasoned Green & Gold “O-Line” helped launch the quintet of long-distance touchdown runs and a ground attack that accumulated 398.5 yards of real estate. The quintet consists of all seniors — left tackle Axel OlguinHernandez, left guard Collin King, center Austin Grise, right guard Nick Butts and right tackle Luke Pietschman. “Seeing Darnell (Stokes) and any of our running backs entering the other team’s end zone is a good feeling be-

cause it’s a sign that our offensive line did our job,” said Grise. “We have been working hard as a line to be congruent as a unit, and to have success. It’s really a great feeling.” Sophomore Darnell Stokes led the ground attack by scoring all three times he touched the pigskin covering 76, 63 and 47 yards. Stokes’ rushing-touchdown-trio doubled his season total to

six. Fellow soph Davon Handy added his fourth touchdown run of the season — a 47-yard scoring burst to finish with 84 yards on nine carries. Junior Jayvion Chandler also dialed long distance for his team-leading ninth rushing touchdown of the season, covering 81 yards. He finished with 122 yards on 13 touches.

The competitive senior libero helped the IRHS girls’ volleyball team reach the DIAA state playoffs for the second consecutive season and the sixth time in the last seven seasons. Jade helped the visiting Indians to their fifth straight victory, 3-1 on Thursday, October 26 over Henlopen Conference Southern Division rival Lake Forest by contributing five digs, two assists, and one kill and service ace. Earlier in the week, Wilkins notched three aces, a dig and a kill as the host Indians won their fourth straight by blanking division rival Seaford, 3-0 on Tuesday, October 24. Her outstanding play helped IRHS to win their last five consecutive matches to finish the regular season at 8-7.

Winning streak sends volleyball team to playoffs By Mike Stern Staff Reporter The DIAA playoffs seemed like a faded dream. First-year Indian River High head coach Mark Gibson’s girls’ volleyball team had lost five of their last six games through mid-season. Their record was 3-7 overall, 2-4 in Henlopen Conference competition and 2-1 in Southern Division action, including a tough loss at home to eventual division champion, Sussex Academy. The Indians also lost two key players to injury in a 3-0 setback at Caesar Rodney on Sept. 26. Sophomore middle blocker Taliyah McCray had developed into an explosive two-way force at the net, while senior setter Taylor Conaway consistently and accurately fed teammates for kill shots. But an interesting transformation took shape in the immediate aftermath

of that downturn. The Indians took the initiative and became a more cohesive entity. Players with little or no varsity experience stepped in and quickly grew their emerging skills. Freshman Taylor Hevner and juniors Jillian Coulbourn, Se’Tara McGee, Anna Wiest, Katelynn Wingate, Isabella Snow, Jesica Zimmerman and Lauren Stoddard each emerged as important contributors. As a result, Indian River won their last five consecutive regular season matches to finish 8-7 and earn their second straight DIAA state playoff berth. “This team grew because we had to make several lineup changes,” said coach Gibson. “Everyone had to make adjustments and become more complete and well-rounded players. This team worked hard through the middle part of our season and finished very strong.” Junior middle-blocker Gracie Hoban

admitted that, “it took a little time to adjust to people in new positions, and some stepping up into the starting role. But everyone just kept working hard and remaining focused on improving every time we were on the court. It has been a real team effort,” she noted. As the 22nd seed in the 24-team postseason tourney, IR made its sixth playoff appearance in the last seven seasons when they visited #11 ranked Concord for a first round match on Wednesday, Nov. 1 (after Coastal Point’s deadline). The winner of that match advanced to Friday’s round 2 showdown at #6 seed Wilmington Charter (10-5), which earned a first round bye.

An impressive late-season rally Indian River started its impressive late-season winning streak with a 3-1 victory at Woodbridge on Oct. 12.

Hoban and Leilani Ehlers contributed nine and eight kills, respectively. Senior libero Jade Wilkins notched 22 digs, Wiest dealt 22 assists, and senior Alisa Tyre added seven digs and six kills. Four days later, the Indians defeated Early College at DSU, 3-0 as Ehlers contributed 12 kills and five aces. Wiest and Hevner dealt 21 and eight assists, respectively while junior Macy Mumford added five kills. Leading two sets to none at Sussex Central on Oct. 19, IR fell into a 2-2 tie before capturing the fifth and deciding set for a 3-2 win at Sussex Central. Ehlers contributed 10 kills, while Snow added nine digs. Wilkins added 20 digs while McGee contributed 14. Wiest and Hevner added 14 and 10 assists, respectively. Hoban’s 12 service aces and Wiest’s 11 assists helped carry IR to its fourth See VOLLEYBALL page 63

Indians pick up #22 seed in DIAA state playoffs By Jason Feather Staff Reporter One of the rewards of all the hard work during the season — and even in the off-season for that matter — is earning a spot in the DIAA state playoffs for your team. The Indian River High School girls’ volleyball team did just that here during their 2023 campaign with their 8-7 overall mark. All their efforts were rewarded on Sunday, Oct. 29, when the bracket was released for the 2023 state tournament and the team saw its name printed right next to the #22 in the bottom left corner. The Indians traveled north on

Wednesday, Nov. 1, to take on the #11 seed from Concord High School. The Raiders were 12-3 during the regular season, and had just picked up their fourth loss of the season on Monday, Oct. 30, when they fell to Middletown in the Blue Hen Conference championship finale. The two teams did not meet during the regular season so there is no familiarity between them. In fact, Concord did not play one single Henlopen Athletic Conference team during its entire 2023 season, and from the looks of their schedule they may have not even played a school outside of New Castle County. Both teams did have a common op-

ponent though in the form of St. Georges Tech. IR lost to the Hawks back on Oct. 7 by the score of 3-0 (256, 25-18, 25-10). The Indians did drop their next match after that to Dover, but now enter the state playoffs on a fivegame winning streak. Concord was on its own five-game winning stretch before their loss to Middletown in the Blue Hen Conference championship game. The top-seed in the state playoffs is St. Mark’s at 14-1. They are followed by Smyrna (14-1), Caesar Rodney (13-2), Ursuline (12-3), Padua (9-6), Charter (10-5), Newark Charter (12-3), and Middletown (13-2). All eight of the top

Field hockey Indians miss out on state playoffs With their postseason fates likely hanging in the balance, the Indian River High School field hockey team dropped their regular season finale on the road to Lake Forest on Thursday, Oct. 26. The loss brought their final record to 8-7 overall, which was determined to be just short of earning a bid in the DIAA Division II state playoffs. The 5-1 loss to the Spartans — and four of their last five overall — brought to an end an excellent first season under first-year head coach Torrie Huk. With just five seniors graduating and a wealth of talented underclassmen, the pendulum is certainly swinging back up for the Indians’ program. Two of those late season losses came to two of the state’s powerhouses in defending Division I champion Smyrna as well as Division I runner-up Cape Henlopen, who had won seven straight state titles before their overtime loss to the Eagles last year. Sophomore Baylie Williamson led the team in scoring this year with 24 goals, and junior goalie Jazmin Mayfield was continuously stellar between the pipes. Those two combined with a wealth of other talented juniors, sophomores, and freshmen has the future looking bright for the green-and-gold, especially for the 2024 season.

Watch out for deer during mating season As clocks are about to fall back to Eastern Standard Time, and the days and daylight shorten, it’s also a dangerous time of year to be on the road, because of the annual white-tailed deer mating season known as “the rut.” During the rut, which lasts from late October through November and into December, males (bucks) go about their annual pursuit of females (does) in the First State, causing danger for motorists. DNREC, the Office of Highway Safety (OHS) within the Department of Safety & Homeland Security and Delaware State Police (DSP) are again urging extra caution at the wheel during this time — especially after the Nov. 5 change from Daylight Saving Time to EST. From that day through much of the holiday season, the busiest times for motorists on Delaware roadways will be around dusk and dawn — times when deer also are typically most active. Driving unlit rural roads without heavy traffic or traveling busier roadways bordered by woods are the most common scenarios for deer-vehicle collisions in Delaware. The reason is simple, according to

fish and wildlife biologist Sam Millman: “From late October to mid-December, Delaware’s white-tailed deer population explodes into a flurry of activity known as ‘the rut,’ the once-a-year deer breeding season. Throughout the rut, bucks are actively searching for and chasing does to mate with them.” The danger for motorists, he said, is that “White-tailed deer frequently cross Delaware roadways. That’s why we remind Delaware drivers to take extra precautions this time of year, especially when traveling on backroads and roadways lined by woodlands and forests, where white-tailed deer are more likely to cross.” The latest figures from OHS also show that most deer-vehicle collisions in Delaware occur between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m., spiking again between 5 p.m. and midnight. In 2022, the state recorded 1,619 crashes involving deer on the roadway. To date in 2023, there have been more than 860 deer-related crashes. OHS data also finds deer-related crashes to be most common in October, November and December, representing 46 percent of all Delaware vehicle-deer collisions from 2017 to 2021. Driver cautions from OHS include

We just need to carry this success into the playoffs.” “This is my first year coaching at Indian River High School, and it was a getting-to-know-you type of season,” said Gibson. “It was also a season of injuries, adjustments, and realignments that held us back from reaching our full potential. “I’m very pleased that we’re in the state tournament,” Gibson added. “We really finished the season strong.”

Continued from page 62 straight win, 3-0, over visiting Seaford on Oct. 24. Two days later, the Indians defeated host Lake Forest, 3-1 in their regular season finale as Wilkins contributed five digs and two assists. “Our team began winning more consistently when our players began getting more comfortable and confident in their positions,” said Hoban. “We really

“using high beams during low-light situations to spot deer along the roadside, reducing speed in areas known for deer sightings, staying attentive while driving, avoiding distractions, and always wearing seatbelts,” said Office of Highway Safety Director Sharon Bryson. By following these precautions, she said, “Motorists can decrease the likelihood of deer-related crashes and ensure a safe journey during the autumn and winter months.” Although the average white-tailed deer in Delaware weighs about 140 pounds, larger bucks can tip the scales at 200 pounds or more. Hitting an animal that size may cause injury to drivers or passengers or trigger an accident involving other motorists, besides doing costly damage to vehicles involved in such a collision. In 2022, 1,710 or 95 percent of the 1,801 vehicle-animal collisions investigated by Delaware State Police involved deer. Of that number, 746 collisions occurred during the deer mating season, when drivers are advised to be most attentive. “During this time of the year, deer collisions typically increase, so it is essential for drivers to remain vigilant,”

said Sgt. India Sturgis, DSP director of public information. “Deer are active during daylight hours, as well as at dawn and dusk, when many drivers are on the road. Protect yourself and your vehicle from deer-related crashes by taking precautions. Buckle up, slow down, use high beams when appropriate, and scan for groups of deer. These measures may not prevent all crashes, but they can significantly reduce injuries and vehicle damage in the event of a crash.” Based on reported insurance claims from July 1, 2022, to June 20, 2023, State Farm Insurance ranked Delaware 33rd nationally, with drivers having a 1in-148 chance of being involved in an See DEER page 64

companies, are unanimous in naming attentive driving as the best way to prevent or lessen the severity of deer-vehicle collisions. Attentive driving entails avoiding distractions that can take a driver’s eyes off the road, such as mobile phones, adjusting the radio or in-car computer screen, eating while driving, and engaging a driver in passenger activities. Results from a State Farm survey indicate that just one risky driving behavior, such as speeding or using your phone, increases the chance of an animal collision by 23 percent. Additional safety tips from the three Delaware agencies promoting safe driving not just during the rut but any time deer might be active 365 days a year include: • Always wear your seatbelt to reduce

your risk of injury in a collision. • Reduce speed at night, on curves and in bad weather. • Switch to high beams when there is no oncoming traffic to better reflect the eyes of deer on or near the roadway and scan the sides of the road as well as what’s directly ahead. • Watch for “Deer Crossing” signs marking commonly-traveled areas by deer on the road ahead. Slow down immediately and proceed with caution until past the crossing point. • Be aware deer usually travel in groups, so if you see one deer, there are likely to be others. • When deer are sighted, slow down and blow your horn with one long blast to frighten them away. Do not depend on devices such as deer whistles, deer

fences and reflectors to deter deer, as these devices have not been proven to reduce deer-vehicle collisions. • Do not swerve to miss a deer — brake and stay in your lane. Losing control of your vehicle, crossing into another lane, hitting an oncoming vehicle, or leaving the roadway and striking a tree or utility pole will likely result in a much more serious outcome than hitting a deer. • If you hit a deer, and your vehicle is damaged, stop at the scene, get your car off the road, if possible, turn on your vehicle hazard lights — and if you or anyone in your vehicle are injured, call 911. • Do not touch the animal or get too close to it; an injured deer may bite or kick and are capable of causing serious injury.

Indigenous dance master-class comes to SDSA By Mike Smith Staff Reporter World-class Native American dancers came to the Southern Delaware School for the Arts (SDSA) in Selbyville on Monday, Oct. 23, to share Native traditions and interpretive dance. SDSA dancers in sixth, seventh and eighth grades were given a “master-class” in indigenous cultural dance, including learning the grass dance, the hoop dance and the jingle dance. Quinn Durant is a teacher in the touring program and explained the cultural significance of dance. He is a traditional dancer from New Mexico and quickly taught the 40 young women students the distinctions between male and female Native American dancers. “The men are stompers, trying to keep pace with the drumbeat,” said Durant. “The women are tippy-toe dancers, up on their toes and swaying with the music.” That explanation seemed to fit with the reality of the middleschoolers at SDSA. “Now that you have learned some of these interpretive dances, you will be able to dance at the local powwow,” said the instructor.

to grant funding and the University of Delaware, which is hosting the Indigenous dancers. The tour group of world-class champions from several tribal nations in the U.S will travel to four schools in the state. “They came to teach some of the traditional dance moves and what they mean,” she said. “People may watch a Native American dance and think it’s a performance, but there is a great deal of cultural information being conveyed.” “This is part of our dance pathways program for the young people,” said Hockman. “It’s truly a great learning experience for our students and creates a greater understanding of the cultural significance of these dances.” “We would like to thank UD, and especially Professor Barry Joyce, who helped bring us these talented dancers as part of the college’s Indigenous and Latinx Delaware program.” The grant funding is through the National History Educators Association, noted Hockman. A teacher from Arizona, introduced as Miss Neba — also a twotime world champion dancer — stepped-up to teach the girls the hoop dance. She used six hoops to show how each may be deployed across arms, legs and head to encircle the body of the dancer. “Originally, as indigenous people, we used willows for hoops,” said Neba. “The circle represents life and how we believe that it never ends.

Freeman Arts debuts art program with focus on mental health Freeman Arts Pavilion recently concluded a new Arts Education program called Doodley Brain with visual artist John Donato. From Oct. 2-6, about 1,000 students from Indian River High School participated in this new therapeutic program, which was created to address mental health, depression and anxiety. This work is based on an emerging art form called neurographic art which helps alleviate anxiety and depression. Starting with doodling, students focus on the sensory experience and begin creating individual works of art with pastels. While this isn’t the first visual arts project Freeman Arts has worked with Donato on; this is its first venture into high school. Freeman Arts has previously completed Mural Projects in all middle schools in Sussex County and has created a Moving Pastels Project with Donato, also for middle-school students. Arts Education programming will continue in elementary, middle and high schools in Worcester, Wicomico and Sussex counties through the 2023-24 school year. To learn more, visit freemanarts.org. Freeman Arts Pavilion is a program of the Joshua M. Freeman Foundation, with a purpose of creating experiences that elevate the human spirit. This program is made possible, in part, by a grant from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state
