Ocean View officials talk public gatherings

Building it back up

By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter Changes made to an Ocean View town ordinance to regulate public gatherings were explained by Ocean View Town Solicitor Max Walton at this week’s town council meeting, but for the third consecutive month, several residents continued to oppose restrictions to public gatherings. Walton, at the Tuesday, Nov. 18, meeting, said the word “activity” was changed to “demonstrations” due to objections, and it was clarified the ordinance only applies to events on Town-owned property and that no one will be prohibited from wearing face masks for medical or religious reasons. At the Oct. 14 council meeting, a man wearing a face mask had told the council, “You’re not telling me I can’t wear a mask. I’m going to tell you something: I’m going to wear a mask. My brother lost his life to COVID. I’m not losing mine. If I have to get arrested for wearing a mask, so be it. You’re not going to kill me.” The council held a public hearing this See GATHERINGS page 5 Coastal Point • Kerin Magill

Millville approves 139 housing units on 17

The staff at B&E Tire and Auto, which was destroyed in a fire Nov. 4, has temporarily relocated to the former home of Brasure's Body Shop in Frankford. Shown at the new location, 33088 Dupont Blvd., are, from left, Kyle Tubbs, Stacey Tubbs and Randy Merritt.

It has not been decided yet whether the 139 new homes will be rented or sold, but either way, they’re coming to Millville, on Route 17. The Millville Town Council unanimously approved the final site plan for the project on Nov. 18. The residential planned community will feature 73 single-family homes, 34 duplexes and 32 townhomes. The 24.5 acres are owned by MA Housing LLC and Gerald Hocker Jr. The property (tax map ID 134-12.00-370.00) is located on Route 17, about a quarter-mile south of Route 26, near other Hocker family properties.

By Kerin Magill Staff Reporter “ASAP.” That’s when B&E Tire & Auto’s owner, Stacey Tubbs, said last week he hopes to be in a brand-new building. Less than two weeks after a devastating fire destroyed the Dagsboro-area business, the staff were working hard to reopen the shop in a temporary location on Route 113 near Frankford. The auto shop was destroyed Nov. 4 when, according to Kyle Tubbs — son of the business’ owner — a spark from a tool came into contact with fuel from a fuel pump another employee was working on. “It was kind of a worst-case scenario,”Tubbs said. “Everything that could go wrong did go wrong. It was one of those freak incidents. “Once the fuel caught on fire, we went and got fire extin-

was like we weren’t even there.” An F-250 truck owned by the Town of Millsboro was destroyed as the fire ripped through the building, on Route 113 near Quarter Mile Road near Dagsboro. “We tried to push it out, but the fire had spread too fast and the black smoke became too thick, too fast. We had to get out of the building,” Kyle Tubbs said. “We grabbed our personal belongings and got out. The fire company was there right away. They tried to stop the spread, but once the tires caught, it was just too late,” he said. “We were fully staffed that day,” and all eight workers got out uninjured, Tubbs noted. Four days after the fire, they began putting some semblance of a shop back together in the former Brasure’s Body Shop on the southbound side of Route 113, just to the south. That building’s owner, Keith Bunting of Bunting’s Garage in

B&E Continued from page 1 Dagsboro, offered them the use of the building until the Tubbs family can rebuild their own shop. “His workers have been here a lot, helping us set up … helping us get this place in working condition,”Tubbs said. “We lost almost everything. There was an assortment of tools we were able to save,” but most of the shop’s equipment was destroyed, including, Tubbs said, a brand-new alignment rack that had been installed just days before the fire. “We have to replace all the equipment and lifts. It was a total loss,” he said — six lifts, six tire-changing setups… Yeah, it was a lot.” The shop had been in business since 1981, and when Stacey Tubbs bought it from original owners Donald Brittingham and Kenny Evans, he kept the name, which bears their initials. “They’re both still alive. They’re both still our customers. They both stopped by to check on us,” he said with a chuckle. “I worked with Donald and Kenny,” Stacey Tubbs said. Taking a break from working to get his temporary shop up and running, he said, “I’ve been with the company close to 35 years.” “It’s a devastating loss is what it is.” he said. “When you lose everything, it’s tough.”

The main building was nearly 4,100 square feet, and the rear building was 1,600 square feet, according to the elder Tubbs. Two of the technicians lost all of their personal tools, and the others had “partial losses,” Kyle Tubbs said. Stacey Tubbs said last week that he hopes to have the shop rebuilt by March of 2026. He said he has received support toward that end from State and County officials. State Sen. Gerald Hocker “personally called me and said he’ll expedite all the permits and everything immediately, and get me up and running. Even the County Council reached out to me. “That made me feel good,” he said. “It’s a blessing to have people to stick up for me and push this stuff through.”The remains of the fire-ravaged building have already been razed. The younger Tubbs agreed, adding, “We’ve had a lot of support from the community. There’s been several local businesses coming to drop off food and offer assistance. We’ve had some anonymous donors.” Meanwhile, the temporary shop will soon have a sign, thanks to Ad-Art, Kyle Tubbs said. He has posted a map showing the location on the shop’s Facebook page, but it’s a little tricky to find, tucked behind a blue house just north of Bailey’s Seafood. With the smaller space and limited equipment, Kyle Tubbs said, “Our services are going to be limited, but we’re

going to try to stay as busy as we can. That way, our employees have a place to come to work. We don’t want to get to the point where we have to temporarily lay off our employees.” For the time being, the shop, which had stocked “all the most popular sizes” of tires, will have to order them as needed, he said. “We lost a lot of inventory. Brakes, belts, oil filters, tires, batteries. We were able to save very little. Our tools are very expensive,” he added, “and smoke got into all of our boxes. Just to try to get the smoke smell out, we’ve spent all week long, hand-washing all of our tools. All boxes and tools have either been hand-scrubbed or replaced.” Tool replacement has been aided by the donation of tools by NAPA Auto Parts shops in Georgetown, Selbyville and Delmar, he said. The owner of a coffee shop in Dagsboro “has brought us coffee, hot chocolate and breakfast every day since the fire,” he said. “It’s been a big help.” Reflecting on the support from the community, he said he believes that the years of goodwill his father, and the original owners, have built has been returned to them in kind. “It’s come full-circle,” said the younger Tubbs, who has worked at B&E full-time since 2009. B&E Tire & Auto’s temporary shop is located at 33088 Dupont Boulevard, Frankford. The phone number is the same, (302) 732-6091.

Gatherings Continued from page 1 week to repeal existing Chapter 77 and establish guidelines and a permitting process for community demonstrations in town parks and on Town-owned property by adopting a new Chapter 77 called Community Demonstrations. Previously, it had been called Community Activities. The council heard public comments, including from Linda Teplica of Ocean View, who said the ordinance still bothers her.The First Amendment means all Americans have the right to free speech and the right to assemble, and it cannot be infringed upon, she said. She said speech is a core freedom that extends to groups and the ordinance abridges the Constitution. A teacher for years, she said she doesn’t want the Bill of Rights to be taught to students and also have them be told, “You have these rights, but not in Ocean View,” she said, as the audience laughed at the notion. “Make your grandchildren proud. Defend their rights,” she said to applause.

fordable housing for the local population,” which would mean rentals, said Preston Schell of Ocean Atlantic Companies. But, he said, it’s a matter of comparing construction costs and funding rates. Ultimately, he said, “It’s largely a Hocker family decision.” To keep costs down for future resi-

dents, the townhouses would not have garages (which also means nowhere to store an outside trash can, so those 32 families would use a community dumpster and the other 107 properties would have traditional curbside trash collection). Council members confirmed that

trees also won’t be planted near curbs or stop signs, as the maintenance of community trees is often pricy for future residents. The developer team also pursued a legal process for officially

Another woman thanked the council for making the revisions. A resident asked whether a permit is necessary to have a wedding or family reunion in a town park, and Town Administrator Carol Houck told her it is necessary, but the application process and cost are different. “We’re only talking about Town property, so you were never precluded from being on Route 26, which has been your choice,” Houck said of the demonstrators’ activities. At the Sept. 9 and Oct. 14 council meetings, the council chamber was filled to standing-room-only with those protesting the ordinance that, in its original form, established guidelines and a permitting process for First Amendment assemblies in town parks and on Townowned property.That ordinance was objected to by ACLU Delaware, who called for its repeal, as did about 17 men and women gathered at John West Park before the Sept. 9 council meeting. They carried American flags and signs with slogans such as “Free speech 4 all,” “Hands off free speech” and “Our founders knew freedom of speech is meaningless without freedom of assem-

bly.” In response, the council, at the Oct. 14 meeting, introduced a resolution to repeal the ordinance and replace it with “Community Activities,” to “protect the First Amendment rights of the citizens of the Town of Ocean View; promote the general health, safety and welfare of the community; ensure there are adequate numbers of Town personnel to maintain public order and traffic control; and establish guidelines under which Community Activities may be held and regulations for competing uses of the Town’s public property.” At previous meetings, the council had also heard from Pam Peterson, a member of Indivisible Southern Delaware, who said there was no need “for this grave sense of control that has come about by your ordinance.” Barbara Katz of Bethany Beach said she was “bewildered as to why the Town enacted the ordinance” and said the revised version “still has problems related to restrictions concerning time, money involved and the size of the group.” She said there have been many peaceful demonstrations in Bethany Beach this year that

haven’t scared away tourists or damaged property, and another one is planned this weekend. “I spend a lot of money in Ocean View. I patronize a lot of the businesses here and … I am not going to patronize any of the businesses here while this ordinance is on the books,” she said to applause that began before she finished speaking. An Ocean View resident asked the council to “discontinue the entire ordinance.” “There is something called freedom of speech and freedom of assembly. I just turned 80, and you are telling me I can’t do it? Well, that’s not American. … Things are going crazy right now. I don’t know if anybody has noticed, but somebody has to say something,” she said. She said the average age in Ocean View is 65. “We are not a rabblerouser group,” she said to laughter. “Totally get rid of the entire thing. Be like Bethany, be like Rehoboth, and let the 65-plus-and-under people — just, please, let us have freedom of speech and freedom of assembly,” she said to cheers.

Panagopoulos, she said, “displays outstanding leadership and devotion to the Chamber and the local business community. I can’t remember a time in my last 13 years without her,” Weaver continued, adding that since 2003, Panagopolous has been “always the first to volunteer” to help with Chamber events and programs. Panagopolous, she said, has always been willing to jump in and help with “anything the staff has ever needed and has been referred to as the “membership mom” at the Chamber. “She has been the greatest cheerleader of the power of togetherness for this community,” Weaver said.

Student using internship to explore law enforcement By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter There was a time when Floyd Moore IV planned to be a lawyer, but his experience as an intern at the Bethany Beach Police Department could modify that plan. “I definitely wanted to be a lawyer before, but I’m enjoying this internship very much. I’m very grateful to be here, because Bethany Beach is one of the premiere towns for an internship,” the 18-year-old Sussex Technical High School senior said. “This educational and opportunityrich internship has swayed me toward law enforcement. Eventually, I’d like to pursue a career in the legal field. While I’m still exploring specific paths, I plan to study law or possibly join the FBI after completing my college education. My ultimate goal is to enter a career where I can serve others and give back to my community. I’d like to become a seasonal police officer at Bethany Beach,” Moore said. A resident of Seaford and only child in a family of medical first-responders, Moore said he grew up interested in the law, then at Sussex Tech was around “the law enforcement world and teachers who came from law enforcement.” “I originally learned about this internship through my criminal justice teachers last year, Dr. Erin Jones, and the late Steven Rust,” he said. “After expressing my interest in law enforcement and the legal field, they introduced and recommended me to one of the best internship opportunities available for criminal justice students at our school. I have been actively involved in my state’s SkillsUSA competition, where I participate in law enforcement scenarios and receive training from current and former officers.

“These experiences have deepened my interest in pursuing a career in law enforcement. Even before learning about this internship, I had already set my sights on the seasonal officer program at Bethany Beach,” Moore said. His internship will last during the school year, with him in uniform, often riding with officers, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, or Tuesdays and Thursdays. “His uniform resembles our seasonal officers’ so he is identifiable by his shirt. He doesn’t have any weaponry or a duty belt, but he is equipped with a bulletproof vest,” Bethany Beach Police Department Chief Patrick Foley told the Coastal Point. Moore said the vest felt a bit heavy at first, “but you get used to it after a while.” “The most enjoyable part of my internship has been getting to see a side of law enforcement that most people don’t often see,” he said. “Law enforcement can sometimes be viewed negatively, but after working closely with the officers and seeing their dedication to protecting and serving the community, I’ve gained a much deeper appreciation for the work they do.” Moore, whom Foley called “a great kid,” wants to attend more community events and meet residents Moore called “the kind-hearted people that have been so supportive of their police department.” Foley said Moore will undergo seasonal officer training in May, participating in classes, learning to use a taser and returning with officers to the shooting range, where he has already had training. Foley said Moore grew up hunting so has handled a shotgun but never a handgun. “We have our own training, a 214hour training for seasonal officers,”

That process included close communication with multiple neighbors, and during the Nov. 18 public hearing, multiple neighbors from Bishop’s Landing commended the developer’s communication: “Preston was completely transparent and upfront and asking for feedback. We’re kind of used to another developer, who will remain nameless. This is really refreshing. … We really appreciate it,” said resident Steven Hess. But another person whose property borders both developments but is outside town limits worried about the increased rain runoff and remaining notified about the project.

Developer proposes 95-acre annexation after County rejects project This week, a housing developer asked if the Millville Town Council would be interested in possibly annexing 94.5 acres on the Town’s west side.The loose discussion — with no decisions made — was just the first step in what would be a very long process. The property is located off of Burton Farm Road (at Jeans Alley) and connects to Route 17 (via Horse Play Way).The Christopher Companies envisions a housing development on the six parcels (tax map IDs 134-15.00-15.01, 15.02, 17.12, 17.16, 17.17 and 17.18).

quest for the Town to consider. But first — because the Town’s Comprehensive Plan did not envision someday annexing these particular parcels into the town — the town council would also need to officially amend its Future Land Use Map. Those processes would all include public hearings and meetings. “The request tonight is to have some feedback from the council in terms of any appetite to amend the Future Land Use Map to permit the more familiar annexation process to then go forward,” explained Town Solicitor Seth Thompson. Personally, he said, he was surprised that the area under discussion wasn’t already proposed in Millville’s future growth map, because that helps municipalities get “a seat at the table” in future planning. Overall, the council members appeared to welcome the discussion. “Annexation will benefit the Town — not just for tax base [but to ensure] everything that is developed there is according to our code,” said Mayor Ron Belinko.

Additionally, if the housing development was built under Sussex County’s jurisdiction, it’s unlikely that they’d ever annex into the town in the future, which would create a hard boundary and prevent future annexation in that region, said David Hutt of the Morris James law firm, representing the Christopher Companies. The development team had originally approached Sussex County with a vision to build a 320-unit housing development on the property, to be called Flyaway Farms.They planned to just keep the rural properties outside of town limits and build within the unincorporated County jurisdiction, partly due to knowing the long process that Millville would require for annexation and approval. But two weeks ago, the Sussex County Council followed its Planning & Zoning Commission’s advice to reject rezoning the parcels from the current agricultural/residential (AR) classification to a medium-density residential district. County officials said they were particularly concerned about the road, as vehicle traffic would significantly increase on narrow Burton Farm Road, which is not considered an arterial roadway. Although parts of the property are designated Delaware investment priority Level 2, officials also questioned whether the proposal truly matched the character of its roadside agricultural neighbors. If the property were annexed into Millville, that could allow the developers to move forward with developing, with Town approval, a denser residential community than the existing AR classification would allow. However, no development plans were officially presented to the Millville Town Council at this week’s meeting. The property owner and developer are deciding a new path forward, and they’ll need to re-draw their plans to fit jurisdictional requirements, regardless of whether they approach Sussex County again or try to obtain annexation and approval in Millville.The ball is in their court.

The building houses a Beebe lab and imaging facility, alongside the freestanding Beebe urgent-care facility. The town council members were satisfied with their shared-use parking easement. “Anyone who’s ever gotten bloodwork in the Beebe area understands there are certain times a day it is completely packed with cars,” said Rich Polk of Vista Design, representing Beebe. The applicants also agreed to Belinko’s strong suggestion of designating more ADA-accessible parking spaces near the medical facilities.

More Millville news • If someone experiences a heart attack, access to an automated external defibrillator (AED) can be vital. There are two at Millville’s Evans Park and one at town hall. The town council this week approved purchasing one replacement machine, as well as a monthly

son. The top three vote-earners will serve a two-year term, which will likely begin at the Dec. 15 regular council meeting. Dagsboro allows voting from both residents and non-resident property owners. Anyone who is eligible as both a resident and a property owner will have only one vote. Voter registration for the election closed on Nov. 14, but property owners of record do not need to register. Residents who are not property owners do need to have registered. Individuals can contact Dags-

boro Town Hall if unsure of their status. • Resident voters must be at least 18, as well as a citizen of the town, the state of Delaware and the U.S. • Property owners must be at least 18. If the land is held by a corporation or other association/entity, the voter must provide a certified copy of a resolution from the entity authorizing them to vote on its behalf. In a legal partnership, only one partner may vote for the partnership. Absentee voting is permitted. People

can obtain an absentee request form from Town Hall or website at any time. They’ll need to return the request form to Town Hall by noon on Friday, Dec. 5, in order to receive the 2025 ballot.

service agreement for all three AEDs. “I do think it’s really important to have somebody that’s knowledgeable and is able to service these units. I don’t want to put the onus on our staff members,” said Town Manager Eileen Scerra, “and it takes liability off the Town.” Council members said they also hoped for a public training course on using AEDs. • Children seem to be playing with rocks too much at Evans Park, so maintenance staff spend considerable time collecting and repairing the rocky border around the athletic courts. The Parks & Recreation Commission envisions a very low wall surrounding the courts instead, so the Town agreed to pursue a budget amendment to provide new funding for the project.

• The Town’s first full-time parks and recreation coordinator will be promoted from within, as Julie Bradford moves from town hall to the park, starting in February. • Belinko said he hopes to residents from all across town will be interested in joining a new Finance Committee and Economic Development Committee, which the town council will likely discuss forming in January. “Our goal is to get folks from different communities involved” in town government,” he said. • Internet connections could improve as the IQ Fiber company lays fiber optic cables in Millville and surrounding areas this winter. Mark Wagner introduced the fiber optic broadband company as a future provider of high-speed

internet, looking to impress customers and be a good neighbor, he said. • Housing development projects have a time limit on obtaining their final site-plan approvals from the Town, and Hudson’s Reserve has been granted a two-year extension for 33887 Peppers Corner Road (tax map Parcel #13415.00-115.00), as they demonstrated slow, but steady progress forward, including to the adjacent roadway, officials said. • Millville’s Holiday Tree Lighting will be Dec. 4 at 5 p.m. at Evans Park. Town Hall will serve as a collection point for donations until Dec. 12, for nonperishable/canned goods and Toys for Tots. The Millville Town Council’s next meeting will be Tuesday, Dec. 9, at 7

Ocean View set structured pay scale for police By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter The Ocean View Council, at its Tuesday, Nov. 18, meeting, unanimously approved spending $164,868 to implement a structured pay scale, based on years of service, for the Ocean View Police Department. The starting annual salary for officers will increase from $68,000 to $72,000, based on years of service, and will include a 1.5 percent step increase, plus a 1.5 percent cost-of-living increase, Town Manager Carol Houck explained. It will take effect May 1, at the start of the Town’s 2027 fiscal year. Having a structured pay scale is necessary, Houck said, to maintain a

motivated and highly trained agency and to provide a pay scale that will positively impact morale. “We need to show our police force we think well of them. They have been loyal to our town residents. They are the best trained officers in the state,” Mayor John Reddington said. “I agree 100 percent. Well said,” Councilman Stephen Cobb added.

Police report Police Chief Kenneth McLaughlin, while presenting his monthly report, thanked fellow officers and the town staff for working to present a successful 10th annual Cops & Goblins Halloween festival on Oct. 25. “It was a really good turnout again.

The weather was beautiful. It was a good Team Ocean View event,” McLaughlin said, adding that several thousand children and their families from the area attended.

Public comments

Town manager’s report Houck, while presenting her monthly report, said that, next year, a menorah will be added to the Old Town Holiday Market. It wasn’t added this year, she said, “because the timing of trying to coordinate it was really too tight.” Houck said the local non-profit Santa’s Letters will have a larger presence in John West Park this year than in prior years, but the signature mailbox will continue to be based on Central Avenue, “because of the difficulty

During the Public Comments portion of the meeting, a woman told the council that development “is exploding” and asked whether developers “get a test to make sure electric, the school system, the roads, the infrastructure, the water, can handle it.” “It seems like they just say, ‘Oh, we got this farm — let’s build,’” she said. Planning, Zoning & Development Director Ken Cimino told her the Town has a checklist requiring developers to be sure water, sewer and electricity are available, “but with respect to the infrastructure, with the majority of these communities, infrastructure begins with the Department of Transportation, and it’s up to them to sign off,” he said. The woman said traffic piles onto Central Avenue, and Cimino said that, too, is a DelDOT-controlled road. In his opinion, he said, infrastructure is “lagging behind development at the state level in the county” and suggested she share her concerns with elected officials. Houck said Ocean View is reaching full build-out. A woman asked how close it is to full build-out, and Cimino said the percentage of land inside town limits that is left to build on is low. He said there will not be any more major developments, and there is no property contiguous to Ocean View that is developable. The woman asked about the Town annexing property, adding to the growth. Cimino said the only property contiguous that could be annexed is in existing communities, and property owners would have to request annexation and be approved. The woman said annexing communities would cause further stress on the infrastructure. Houck said the Town has been approached by communities that are not inside town limits, “but now their infrastructure is old and they are thinking about that. We have had those conversations, but it’s very difficult. It’s a very large section of the code, and they really can’t get the votes,” Houck asserted, adding that the Town is not going to fund the costs of annexation. “And then we don’t hear from them,” she said.

Frankford approves Comp plan By Kerin Magill Staff Reporter The Frankford Town Council this week approved the Town’s updated Comprehensive Plan, following a review of the 10-year plan at its halfway mark by the Frankford Planning & Zoning Commission. State regulations require municipalities to update their Comprehensive Plans once a decade, with a review at the five-year mark. The plans are essentially blueprints for development for towns to follow and include such things as zoning maps, demographic data, areas of concern, areas of focus and other topics. Typically, towns solicit input on these documents from citizens during the process of updating them, and those comments are folded into the resulting documents. Frankford’s Planning & Zoning Commission voted last month to recommend no changes to the Comprehensive Plan at the five-year mark. The council this week agreed with that assessment and voted 4-0 to make no changes at this point. (Council Member James Sample was absent from the meeting.) Town planner Amy Mendelson of AECOM said the firm reviewed the plan for “overall relevancy” and to make sure its goals are being followed. “The plan is still relevant as written. There are things that are outdated,” she added, including some of the demographic data. Since the plan was approved in 2020, the Town has annexed two large properties — one on the south end of town and one on the north end. To the south, construction has begun on the Vines Creek Crossing development, while plans are in progress for development of the parcel to the north. Between the two annexed parcels,

Frankford will see about 900 new homes built in the next several years. Meanwhile — the Planning & Zoning Commission, which approves plans for development, reviews rezoning applications and makes recommendations to the council on a number of related topics — is currently unable to meet due to lack of members. The commission typically has five members but currently only has two, due to recent resignations. Those resignations included John Wright, who also serves on the town council as treasurer. Wright said he resigned because he felt the two roles potentially conflicted with one another, since the Planning Commission makes recommendations to the town council. Wright said he “got challenged” on an issue and decided to step down, rather than have any question of impropriety. He did not offer details on the issue upon which he was questioned. Two other members resigned because they are moving out of town. At Tuesday’s meeting, Town Council President Greg Welch asked Wright to consider rejoining the Planning Commission so that the group could have a quorum. Welch also brought up a related topic — the Town’s going discussions around the neighborhood business zoning category, which led to comments about potential signage issues in areas with such zoning designations. Mendelson clarified that electronic signs are not allowed on properties zoned as neighborhood business. Town Manager Sheldon Hudson then added that “institutional” uses, such as a firehouse, library or church on a property zoned neighborhood business, are allowed to have electronic signs.

Selbyville man dies from fall at home By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter Delaware State Police this week were continuing to investigate the death of a 64-year-old Selbyville man, who died on Friday, Nov. 14, after falling four stories while working on a home in the Cape Windsor development and landing in a canal below. Police did not release the man’s name. They said they were called to the 38000 block of Monroe Avenue at 12:25 p.m. The man was repairing a balcony, they said, and when he reached over the railing to hammer a nail, the balcony collapsed, causing him to fall. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

“The Town Council and I send our condolences to the whole family,” Selbyville Mayor Rick Duncan told the Coastal Point, adding he did not know the man. “It was an unfortunate accident. I know the first-responders did all they could. He was working on his porch four stories up, and he leaned over the rail. It gave way, and he fell. He struck a couple objects and fell into a canal there in Cape Windsor. It was very unfortunate right here at the holidays,” Duncan said. Anyone with information about the incident is being asked to contact Delaware State Police Troop 4 in Georgetown at (302) 856-5850.

Work to elevate York Road delayed by flooding By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter Work to raise York Road, to correct ongoing flooding, has been delayed until spring. “We were hoping it would happen around Nov. 1, but the tides and the weather have not cooperated, and we need temperatures to be right to set that pavement,” South Bethany Mayor Edie Dondero told the town council at their Friday, Nov 14, meeting. “So, it is looking likely that will need to be delayed until spring, until we have the correct temperatures. That is unfortunate. We were hoping it would be done this fall, but in order for it to be done correctly, it looks like it will be pushed until spring.” Previously, Dondero had told the

Coastal Point that Nov. 1 was the “hopeful target, but it came too soon.” “Hoping for mid-November, pending weather, temperatures and tides. It took longer than anticipated to get contracts signed and have a pre-construction meeting. Now we are looking for a window of time with the right conditions,” she said. In a related update, Dondero also said DNREC will be in South Bethany in early December to replace dune crossovers damaged by recent storms. Workers are now finishing replenishment work at the Indian River Inlet, then heading to Bethany Beach for similar dune crossing repairs before arriving in South Bethany. “It will still be a few months or weeks later when they come back to

repair the sand fence in front of the dunes. The important thing is they will repair the crossovers so we can get to the beach. … The immediate fix is to do work on the crossovers,” the mayor said, adding that DNREC will pay for repairs. Michael Globetti, who handles public relations for DNREC, told the Coastal Point the DNREC Shoreline & Waterway Management Section will be in Bethany and South Bethany from late November to early December to “perform repairs to beach crossovers,” but “the work will not include fencing and posts or ropes .Those items will be addressed through routine maintenance starting at Fenwick and moving north in the new year.” “DNREC notes that coastal storms are normal this time of year and may continue to occur,” he said. “Natural processes after these storms allow for recovery sandbars to form and enable beach repairs. The sandbars take some time to form after an event, but they are a resilient and cost-effective way to restore beaches, compared to truckhauled sand,” Globetti said. No beach replenishment is planned in South Bethany for 2026, Dondero noted.

Committee to review investment policy At the recommendation of Budget & Finance Committee Chairman and Town Councilman Randy Bartholomew, the committee will review the Town’s investment policy, then present suggestions to the town council before any changes are made. Bartholomew said the committee hasn’t looked at investments in three

years and, at that time, the Town had investments at 14 financial institutions, which were consolidated to Fidelity Investments and Vanguard Investments, then streamlined to Vanguard. “The goal is to look at cash available, what our needs are, defining that, and a near-term strategy and longerterm, and trying to fit investment options,” Bartholomew said. He said interest rates are going to come down, “and having a good group look at this and making recommendations is a very wise thing to do.”

Police department congratulated Dondero congratulated Police Chief Jason Lovins for achieving state accreditation for the South Bethany Police Department. She said she attended the “riveting Police Accreditation Commission meeting in Dover, during which it was voted unanimously to grant accreditation to South Bethany. This is a huge accomplishment. I want to commend you, Chief, because I know at the beginning of the process you were skeptical. It can be very onerous for a small community like ours to meet those requirements. Thank you for plugging your way painfully through that process,” Dondero said. Lovins thanked her.

Council OK’s inviting trash collection bids The council approved the Town inviting bids for trash removal for a five-year term from 2026 to 2030. The bid document includes yardwaste collection, and any cost increase from the current amount will be paid by residents, Dondero said.

Police departments getting dose of youth Over the last two weeks, we’ve had the incredible fortune to interview two young people who are pursuing their respective desires to one day be involved in the criminal-justice system by interning in local police departments. Last week, we featured Gabriela Ramirez, a student at Sussex Tech, who is currently interning with the Ocean View Police Department. Ramirez shared how much she was enjoying her time there, and that she took on the challenge to learn more about the system and to help her decide if this is the life for her. She said that, at this point, she is thinking about going into the military after graduation and then pursuing a law-enforcement career. And she added that her parents are more than fine with that path. “They are glad I know what I want to do,”she said.“If I do become a police officer, I will be the first one in our family to become one.”

In Bethany Beach, Floyd Moore IV is currently serving an internship with that town’s police department, and it has him re-thinking some things. “I definitely wanted to be a lawyer before, but I’m enjoying this internship very much,”the Sussex Tech student explained.“I’m very grateful to be here, because Bethany Beach is one of the premier towns for an internship.” Both interns shared that they were interested in the seasonal officer program in Bethany Beach next summer, and both have been received warmly by their respective departments. For the departments, it’s a good opportunity to do a little recruiting for the future, and to keep a connection with young people in the community. For the interns, it’s invaluable access “behind the curtain”to see if this is really what they want to sign up for as they advance in life. This is a great opportunity we hope to see continue forth.

Just missed this time — but I have a plan The retirement shall wait. Yes, it’s true that I was fairly certain I was going to take an early retirement and ease into a life of leisure and rest. The stars were aligned, and there was just one tiny thing I needed to be able to trade in my notebook and recorder for a bottomless daiquiri glass and an array of stretchy pants that would afford me the ability to spend several hours a day in all-you-can-eat extravaganzas wherever I might find them. Money. The tiny thing was money. And I thought it was all there for me. After all, I bought a ticket for the Mega Millions drawing last Friday night, and it appeared like I was in line for a tidy little payday of $983 million — or, if I took the cash option, around $453.6 million. I figured I’d go ahead and take the cash, and after helping out some friends and family, and making some pretty impressive charitable donations, I’d be sitting on about — let’s see, carry the Darin J. McCann one — $453.599 million. But then some selfish yahoo in Georgia stole my dreams when he or she had the same retirement plan as mine and purchased a ticket at a Publix store in Newnan, Ga. The eighth-largest Mega Millions jackpot of all time, and I had it ripped from my hands just as I was starting to peruse private jets and diamond-encrusted Speedos for this next phase of my life. I started to question myself a little bit. No, not for putting all of my retirement eggs in one by-chance basket. For the way I picked the tickets. I left my fate up to the Lottery Gods, and if we know anything for sure in this crazy world of ours, it’s that the Lottery Gods are a fickle group, fueled by the taste of mayhem and tears that they craft with their whims. What I should have done was pick my own numbers. And not just any old numbers. No, there has to be a clear, logical method to selecting the numbers that will set you on a path to the good life. I mean, what was I expecting, going all willy-nilly with the auto picks? Any old doofus could do that. Where is the science in that? Where is the romanticism of proverbially striking gold by connecting to the soul of those little ping-pong balls of fate by bonding with a numerical sequence that would certainly tilt the odds my way?

What in the world was I thinking? For inspiration, I looked to our neighbors to the south and discovered a UPI story on a Maryland man who hit pretty big on the lottery in two consecutive days. His secret sauce? Changing the way he picks his numbers. For years, the man said he used the birthdays of family members to determine his numbers. Well, to heck with those losers, right? This guy came to play. “I do it while I’m driving,” the man said. “I clear my mind and then think about numbers. The first that come to mind are the ones I play.” His new strategy paid off to the tune of a $5,000 hit one day and a $50,000 win the next. Editor’s note: We don’t recommend drivers of motor vehicles clear their minds while operating heavy equipment. Please stay focused on the road, those around you and any potential surprises that could impact your safety, and those of others. Also... leave the lottery picks to me. I kind of have this figured out now. Don’t worry, I’ll be generous. Free copies of the Coastal Point for everybody! Still, even with this new strategy in my pocket, the pain of losing out on Friday night’s jackpot is still a little raw. I don’t think you understand just how close I was to hitting this thing. Granted, none of my numbers matched, so it doesn’t look “on paper” like I was nearly wealthy, but rest assured — I know. Oh, I know. One little change with the numbered-ping-pong-balls-offinancial-splendor and the spheres ricochet a little differently and all of a sudden, this guy’s moving up to the “Large” value meal. Actually, do they still use the little ping-pong balls? A little Google check tells me that they’ve switched to solid rubber balls and a gravity system to select the winners. Still seems a little archaic to me in this day and age, if you think about it. I’m reminded of the 104-year-old men coming on the football field with a chain and two sticks to see if someone made a first down before they finally switched to a computer chip system this season. Maybe I’ll send them a little donation to get this thing more current — you know, once I clear my mind and pick my numbers.

Reader takes issue with Rep’s statement Editor’s note: The following letter was addressed to U.S. Rep. Sarah McBride (DDel.) and was sent to the Coastal Point for publication. In your Nov. 14, 2025, email newsletter you discussed why you voted to keep the government shut down. You stated: “Let’s be clear: this shutdown was avoidable. It was a choice — a choice by Congressional Republicans and Donald Trump in favor of tax breaks for the wealthiest rather than protecting affordable health care for millions. A choice to manufacture chaos instead of doing their jobs.” I agree, it was a choice and yours was to keep the government shut down after your party for years said the government should never be shut down. As I understand the issues, your yes vote would have continued spending at current levels and for current programs, no changes — a clean CR with no tax breaks for any taxpayer that had not already been signed into law. During COVID, it was your party that passed temporary additional subsidies for Obamacare programs to end Dec. 31, 2025. I believe Obamacare is not affordable health care without government subsidies. May I respectfully request you tell those of us in Delaware the entire story. Philip Drew Bethany Beach

investment and the very revenue that keeps our state afloat. What we really have is a spending problem, not a revenue problem. HB 255 doesn’t solve that problem, it magnifies it. This isn’t about being Republican or Democrat. It’s about choosing stability over panic, competitiveness over political messaging, and fiscal responsibility over short-term thinking.

Even when our politics differed, Democrats and Republicans traditionally shared one principle: don’t jeopardize the corporate climate that funds our schools, services and jobs. HB 255 breaks from that legacy, and it should concern all Delawareans, regardless of party. Democratic leaders claim the bill is needed to prevent a “$400 million shortfall.” But that number is built on a worst-case scenario that business groups, CPAs and economists across the state say is unrealistic. Companies would still pay the same taxes; the timing simply shifts by a year. That’s exactly what our reserves are designed to handle. Instead of using those tools, Democrat lawmakers are rushing through a sweeping tax reversal that injects uncertainty into the system Delaware depends on. The Democratic Party many Delawareans grew up with — pragmatic, steady, business-minded — is fading. HB 255 reflects a new, more ideological approach that risks jobs,

Reader responds to Hocker, Gray Editor: I had to chuckle when Rep. Ron Gray and Sen. Gerald Hocker sidestepped their constituents’ complaint regarding food insecurity: Gov. Matt Meyer “has money sitting there” to help a lot of people. Later in the article, both representatives bemoan the State government spending more than it takes in. Could it be that part of that problem is directly tied to the federal government cutting programs that compassionate governors feel morally obligated to fulfill? In January, ACA rates will skyrocket because the Republicans refuse to extend subsidies. Don’t expect Matt

Editor’s note: The following letter was addressed to the mayor, town council and police chief of Ocean View, and was sent to the Coastal Point for publication. Thank you for carefully and honestly listening to the concerns that were voiced at the September and October council meetings by attendees who felt that Ordinance 405/Chapter 77 unconstitutionally infringed on people’s First Amendment rights to assemble and speak freely on town property. The latest wording of Chapter 77, which was introduced at the Nov. 18 meeting, is greatly improved and is something I believe everyone can live with. Since I was vocal in complaining about the earlier versions, it’s only fair that I applaud you for the hard work you put into making the final product a win for everyone. Sandi Roberts South Bethany

Meyer to pick up that bill! Health care in this country is broken. Democrats have been willing to address the issue. For the past 10 years Republicans only wanted to “repeal and replace” the ACA. After 10 years, Donald Trump only has “a concept.” Now is the time to put up or shut up! Submit your plan that the president claims will be cheaper and more comprehensive than the ACA. What representatives Gray and Hocker failed to mention is that we are in this present food crisis partially because it was needlessly manufactured by Trump and the Republican party. Recall that candidate Trump was going to bring grocery prices down on the first day of his administration. What has he done to achieve that goal other than raise prices by levying tariffs, which raises prices? For the first time in American history, President Trump cut off all funding for SNAP during a government shutdown! When the courts mandated that the government release emergency funds to relieve the suffering, his administration went to court to block the order. The poor became political pawns in a high stakes game to pressure Democrats to cave and end the shutdown. It should also be noted that The “Big Beautiful Bill” will cut $186 billion from SNAP in the next budget. That, by the way, does not include cuts

Obituaries Gary Scott Canonico, 67 Gary Scott Canonico, 67, passed away on Nov. 15, 2025, at Beebe Healthcare in Lewes, Del. Born on June 7, 1958, in Middletown, N.Y., he was the son of the late Gateion Canonico and Doris (Wolters) Canonico. He began his education at Middletown North High School and completed high school at Middletown South High School, where he was a dedicated athlete who excelled in both football and wrestling. Following his high school graduation, he attended Brookdale Community College before beginning a successful career in real estate, later becoming a mortgage broker. A man of many passions, Canonico especially loved racing sailboats with his close friend. He was also deeply committed to supporting his sons, proudly coaching their soccer and baseball teams throughout their youth. His generous spirit, leadership, and love for his family and community will be fondly remembered by all who knew him. His kindness, strength and unwavering love for his family will forever remain in the hearts of those who cherished him.

In addition to his parents, Canonico was preceded in death by his brother Greg Canonico. He is survived by his devoted wife, Kelly Canonico; his beloved sons, Dane Canonico and Connor Canonico (and Tessa); and his brothers Gateion Canonico and Glenn Canonico. A celebration of Canonico’s life will be held on Monday, Nov. 24, 2025, at 11 a.m., at Watson Funeral Home & Crematorium, 211 S. Washington Street, Millsboro, Del., with a visitation from 10 to 11 a.m., prior to the service. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the ASPCA at www.secure.aspca.org/donate or to a charity of the giver’s choice. His life memorial webpage is at www.watsonfh.com.

Elizabeth ‘Libbie’ Cochran Eastburn Elizabeth “Libbie” Cochran Eastburn passed away peacefully at her home in Bethany Beach, Del., on Monday, Nov. 10, 2025, with her beloved husband, Warren, grandson Henry and stepdaughter Wendy beside her. She was born in June 1953 to Francis Cochran and Mary Jane Cochran in Jarrettsville, Md., the

fourth of eight children. Their home, always busy and loving, provided a solid foundation for Eastburn to become a genuinely wonderful and loyal sister, wife, friend and grandmother. Her childhood gave her a passion for games and social gatherings. After graduating from North Hartford High School, Eastburn took a job at Bell Atlantic (later Verizon). She spent the next 30 years building her career from clerk to management. She earned the respect and admiration of her colleagues. In fact, she maintained friendships with several colleagues for the remainder of her life. At 22, Eastburn met the love of her life, Warren Eastburn, in Bel Air, Md. They were married in December of 1976, when she gained two stepchildren. The love story between Eastburn and her husband goes beyond the fairytale. Their love transcended all of life’s turns, challenges and joys. Aside from being husband and wife, they were best friends and truly life partners. Life began and ended with each other’s presence. All who knew this relationship were in awe. Eastburn lived with her Delaware-

born husband for 30 years in Maryland before moving to Delaware in 2004 to be closer to her grandchildren. In 2013, they moved to the beach in Delaware. As the winters became colder, she enjoyed trips to Florida. After a few years as visitors, they decided the “snowbird” life was the way to live. They purchased a condo in Punta Gorda, Fla., where she could be with other snowbird friends, including several she knew from up north. She loved the sound of the ocean, even if she was not fond of being in the sun. Over the years, they lived in several homes, including one on the Wall Cove on the water in Maryland and two near Bethany Beach, Del. In 2017, they built the house of her dreams by the ocean. Regardless of where they lived, she loved being social, making friends in any situation or environment. She held parties at her homes and organized girls’ weekends. She enjoyed Wednesday dinner nights with friends, events with the Maryland Yacht Club, boating with Warren Eastburn and friends, reading, traveling to Florida, challenging See OBITS page 59

IRSD mulls finances for SCHS, Ingram Pond, Dagsboro well

Blac ackk Fr Friid da ay ay Weeek We keen ndd

Fall Specials Lunch Specials

G i ft C a rd d & Ret a i l S a le

By Laura Walter Staff Reporter The Indian River School District is researching all options when it comes to expenses and potential partnerships this year. First, because IRSD owns 180 acres of mostly natural land along Ingram Pond in Millsboro, there is a question of potentially setting part of it aside for permanent nature conservation. The Sussex County Land Trust is a not-for-profit conservation organization that approached the IRSD about formally preserving the open space against development. As the district’s official Outdoor Education Center, students have learned ecosystem science in kayaks, in wading boots and in the small science buildings there for many years. But that’s just on a few acres. The vast majority of land is undeveloped field, forest, waterfront (and most likely, marsh and flood zones) bordering Ingram Pond’s serpentine north shore. “The fundamental question here is: Does the school district desire to place limits on the property at the present time? Currently, the entire site is a district asset,” said Supervisor of Buildings & Grounds Joe Dooley. After the SCLT broached the idea in spring, the IRSD Finance Committee discussed it a bit. In October, Dooley asked the full school board if they even want him to continue researching the topic. There would still be much discussion and negotiation before any formal agreement, he emphasized. “Our budget’s very tight. We have a piece of property that’s actually costing us money … to maintain,” said Board Member Michelle Parsons. It could be valuable, she said, for another organization to “come in, manage it for us. … At some point, I would like us to explore what all the options are.” The IRSD could just leave the active part of its property unchanged, while considering conservation agreements on the wilder portions. “There are various mechanisms that the preservation could happen through,” Dooley explained. The school district could maintain ownership of the land and enter a permanent easement agreement with another nonprofit. They could release ownership of the land altogether. The district could also just continue its current course and not bother with any formal agreements. If they really wanted, the IRSD could try selling the whole property for a one-time cash infusion. But the disSee FINANCES page 24

Meyer announces generational plan to overhaul rural healthcare Gov. Matt Meyer on Wednesday, Nov. 12, announced that the State of Delaware last week completed and submitted an application for up to $1 billion from the Rural Health Transformation Program, compiling 15 projects, programs and initiatives that are aimed at dramatically expanding healthcare access, lowering costs and increasing the medical workforce in rural Kent and Sussex counties. The main objective of the program, he said, is to improve health outcomes for rural residents, who make up nearly 40 percent of the state’s population. “Delawareans have access to some of the best healthcare on the globe, yet insurance is still too expensive, with prices set to skyrocket for thousands of families in weeks,” Meyer said. “Primarycare appointments are still too limited, and emergency room wait times are too

long. That’s why we’re proud to announce a list of proposals that will address our national healthcare crisis right here in Delaware — a generational plan focused on expanding access to care and supporting rural communities from the ground up. Meyer made the announcement at the Margaret H. Rollins School of Nursing at Beebe Healthcare in Lewes, considered a key rural healthcare provider in Sussex County, which has been serving the community since 1916. The healthcare system is in the midst of a five-year strategic plan that has improved access to health care, especially in rural Sussex County. Congress appropriated a total of $50 billion to the Rural Health Transformation Program this summer — half of which will be “equally distributed” across states with an approved applica-

tion, and the other half to be distributed based on technical factors and quality of application. Awards are expected to be received by the end of this year. Officials noted that the application would fulfill a key promise from Meyer’s first State of the State address: bringing a four-year medical school to Delaware — currently one of just three states that do not have a public or private in-state training institution. Establishing a student-to-residency-to-practice pipeline is critical for building a more sustainable and robust workforce dedicated to the state’s rural population, they said. The proposal also includes funding for two new Hope Center-style facilities — modeled after New Castle County’s successful integrated hub that combines healthcare, employment and housing services under one roof. The new centers in Kent County and Sussex County

would serve as one-stop destinations for stability, connecting families to the care, treatment and support needed to live healthy, self-sufficient lives, officials said. In addition, the plan prioritizes mobile health units and telehealth innovations to bring care directly to residents who face transportation barriers or live in remote areas. Mobile health pods and clinics would visit schools, libraries, churches and town centers, while expanded telehealth access and remote monitoring programs would make it easier for patients to connect with healthcare providers anytime, anywhere. Delaware would award the vast majority of the funds through a competitive application process, prioritizing vendors who demonstrate the strongest ability to deliver measurable results efficiently and cost-effectively. “Through Gov. Meyer’s leadership, we are bringing meaningful new support to our rural communities,” Delaware Health & Social Services Cabinet Secretary Christen Linke Young said. “This application reflects innovative strategies to build the next generation of rural healthcare leaders and better serve Delaware’s 400,000 rural residents.” “The Rural Health Transformation Program is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to strengthen Delaware’s entire healthcare workforce — from allied health and support staff to nurses, behavioral health professionals and physicians,” Dr. Neil Hockstein, M.D., chair of the Delaware Healthcare Commission, said. “These funds will help us invest in the people and technologies needed to deliver high-quality care in every corner of our state. This isn’t just a program; it’s an investment in our future and in a stronger, more resilient health system for every Delawarean.” “Investing in rural healthcare is key to building a better healthcare system that works for all Delawareans. That begins with laser-focused efforts for our rural communities that support innovation, workforce, access and more,” President & CEO of the Delaware Healthcare Association Brian Frazee said. “DHA looks forward to our continued collaboration with Gov. Meyer and stakeholders across Delaware to turn this plan into reality.” “We are here at Beebe Healthcare in what could be a momentous day when I think of the future of rural healthcare in Delaware,” Beebe Healthcare President & CEO Dr. David A. Tam, MD, MBA, CPHE, FACHE, said. “These projects proposed by Gov. Meyer — many of which Beebe supports and is eager to partner on — create a pathway to permanently change the healthcare delivery landscape and workforce, while improving the health and wellbeing of all resiSee HEALTHCARE page 28

Finances Continued from page 21 trict has also hypothesized building a future elementary or high school as population growth has increased for the past few decades. Board Member Jerry Peden Jr. warned against prematurely selling the centrally located land. Additionally, it is publicly-owned land, so the State might demand a surplus-property procedure — and a portion of the income, said Owens. In Sussex County’s recent property reassessment, the parcel was valued at about $3.57 million. When Dooley asked whether he should continue his research, the school board seemed undecided on whether to even learn more. Initially, only Parsons, and Board Members Derek Cathell and Kelly Kline voted in favor receiving more SCLT information and exploring the topic further. The rest of the board

voted against it, but then they also seemed to want more details from all potential easement partners. Ultimately, they also voted, yes, to accept more research on the topic. It is possible multiple conservation groups would give the IRSD counteroffers. Perhaps the flood zones will prevent part of the land from ever being developed commercially. Either way, it might be time for IRSD leadership to learn more about the property, they concluded. Discussion will continue in the future.

Artesian suggests digging well at IRHS In another possible partnership, this spring, Artesian Water Company asked about digging wells on Indian River High School property. The company’s goal, they said, is to reduce land acquisition costs by partnering with public en-

tities. Board members seemed unenthusiastic about the prospect, as the district had purchased that land specifically to add to the school property, especially after being good neighbors to the former homeowner. The well-capped land would also be limited from future building projects. But, again, if IRSD leaders are tightening their budget line by line, “I don’t see the harm in getting information so we can make an informed decision,” Parsons said. “It’s fact-finding at this phase, so I’m going to move forward” with learning more from company representatives, Dooley said.

Digging into SCHS construction As construction at the new Sussex Central High School enters its final few months, the school board has been asking thorough questions on every change order. Some were frustrated about recent increased costs. Others wanted to ensure that all the money already appropriated is carefully used to build a school that will last for the community. The main areas of the school have already opened to students, while the arts wing will be renovated by the new year, and the auditorium should be spruced up by February of 2026. At the end of a multi-year, $160 million project, last-minute electrical work is common and not necessarily the result of errors. For instance, sometimes outlets need to be moved to accommodate new room configurations. And with the district considering desired design alternatives that were initially deemed too expensive, electrical contractors are just receiving for the first time official plans that would accommodate those changes. “It does cost money to change those things. … That’s why we have that contingency [fund],” said Brad Cowen of

construction management company Richard Y. Johnson & Son Inc. He complimented IRSD’s transparency and review process, which involves monthly Buildings & Grounds Committee, weekly construction team and school board oversight. But Cowen warned against delaying decisions too much, since prices can increase or quotes expire. “You hired us as your construction manager. We work hand in hand with the architect and Mr. Dooley” to evaluate expenses on a regular basis. “This project started out, as you know, well over budget. Several of the alternatives … were put on hold. Due to the diligence of our team, the architect team and cost savings to the project, we were able to bring back almost all of the alternatives from bid day. And I think that’s a huge success. We are well under budget, we’re way ahead of schedule, and that’s due to many, many things,” including board oversight, monthly committee meetings and weekly project meetings. Board Member Leolga Wright noted that the IRSD had been allowed to use leftover Howard T. Ennis School construction funds on the SCHS project — so, should the district start saving SCHS dollars for a proposed expansion at Indian River High School? Dooley, however, suggested that the State only transferred leftover Ennis money over to SCHS because it was used there for special-education needs. Any IRHS project could also be years away, and the money would just be sitting until hypothetical construction began. The board members representing the Georgetown area agreed that the appropriated SCHS funds should stick with that school. “We only get to build a building once,” and this is no Taj Mahal, said See FINANCES page 25

Unlock Tax Savings wiitth Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) As a wealth management firm, we guide clients through investment managgement, financial planning, and tax strategies. W ith year-end approaching, it's prime time to explore deductions—especially in a strong market where capital losses mayy be scarce. For those over 70½, Q ualified Charitab ble Distributions (QCDs) off ffeer a powerful opportunity.

W hat Is a QCD?

A QCD allows individuals aged 70½ and older to transfer funds directly from an IRA to a qualified charity. The distribution is excluded from taxab ble income, providing significant tax advantages. For those 73 and over, QCDs can satisfy Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) without increasing your tax liability.

How QCDs Work

• Direct Transfer Only: The IRA custodian (e.g., Schwab or Fidelity) sends funds straight to the charity. You cannot withdraw the money yourself and then donate it to qualify as a QCD. • 2025 Limits: Up to $108,000 per individual ($216,000 for married couples). • Tax Benefits: Reduces adjusted gross income, potentially lowering your taxx bill and avoiding Medicare premium surcharges (IRMAA). • No Itemizing Required: Unlike standard charitable deductions, QCDs deliver benefits even if you take the standard deduction.

Why Use QCDs fo for RMDs?

After age 73, the IRS mandates RMDs from traditional IRAs and certain retirement accounts. A QCD lets you meet this requirement by directing the distribution to charity—instead of taking it as taxable income.

Key Year-End Reminders

• QCDs must be completed by December 31 and sent to a qualified 501(c)(3) public charity (donor-advised funds and private foundations do not qualify). • W hile we assist clients with this strategy, always consult your taxx professional for personalized advice. If you're charitab bly inclined and seeking taxx efficiency, QCDs could be an ideal year-end move. Contact us to explore how this fits yoour plan.

Brandywine Fenwick Island veterans honored by Delmarva Leathernecks By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter

and share with everyone. Each one of the veterans got a quillow. Each person had their own specific one dedicated to them,” she said. The Leathernecks, based in Ocean City, Md., are described on their website, at www.americanlegionleathernecks.com, as patriots “committed to raising funds and providing services to local veterans and worthy charities here on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Delaware and Virginia.” The website explains local Marines, Navy corpsman and associated members joined with the American Legion Synepuxent Post 166 in Ocean City to form the Leathernecks of Post 166. Marines are nicknamed “leathernecks” because their uniforms, in the 18th and 19th centuries, had high leather collars to protect their necks from sword wounds during combat and also to encouraged strict military posture. To support the Leathernecks, Brandywine staff will present the Fourth Annual Peppermint Christmas bazaar from 4 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 17, offering “a festive holiday shopping experience with unique gifts by many local artisans and small businesses,” Cronin said. Among highlights will be a peppermint hot chocolate and coffee bar, cocktails and homemade baked goods. Vendors can reserve tables by e-mailing Cronin at HCronin@brandycare.com.

On Veterans Day this week, 14 residents of Brandywine Fenwick Island by Monarch who served in the military were honored by the Delmarva Leathernecks. “We had a beautiful ceremony,” Heather Cronin, life enrichment director at Brandywine, said after the Tuesday, Nov. 11, event. “The Leathernecks presented our veterans with ‘quillows,’ which are both pillows and quilts.They were sewn by Barbara Freeman, who is the wife of the Leathernecks’ chaplain, Vic Freeman, and her sister, Diane Green,” Cronin said. “They came and honored our veterans and had a ceremony. We went around the room, and each one of our veterans was able to talk about their personal experiences

DelDOT announces 5th Annual Name that Plow Contest The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) is kicking off its 5th Annual Name That Plow Contest, inviting elementary school students (grades K-5) across Delaware to come up with creative and funny names for the department’s snowplows. Over the past four years, Delaware

students have named snowplows with creative and cool names such as Ice Ice Bladey, Melton John and Darth Blader — and officials said they can’t wait to see what’s next. “Our snowplow crews work hard in difficult conditions to clear our roads and make them safe for travel,” said

Secretary of Transportation Shanté Hastings. “The Name That Plow contest gives students a fun way to learn about our winter operations and see their creativity in action.” DelDOT operates more than 300 snow removal vehicles and maintains nearly 14,000 lane miles statewide — so

suggested names could be rolling through Delaware this winter. Three winning names — one from each county — will be chosen, and each winner will get a snowplow visit at their school. Entries can be submitted individually or as a class. Entries are due by 11:59 p.m. on Dec. 5.

Community Veterans receive Quilts of Valor at VFW Post 7234 By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter

commending him for serving in both World War II and the Korean War. Hudson thanked them as the audience applauded. “When you’re 17, 18, 19 years old, you give up your tomorrows so others can enjoy their freedom,” Myers said. The Honor Guard posted colors and VFW life member Bernie Busby led the singing of the national anthem. During the invocation, Post Chaplain Jeannette Twigg offered thanks to “the father of us all” for sparing veterans who returned and for the privilege of “life in the land we enjoy.” Senior Vice Commander Andrew Artemchuk read the poem “Thank You to a Veteran,” offering gratitude for “stepping forward when other stepped back,” for bravery and for enduring the “unspeakable horrors of war.” Roses were placed on a wreath arranged on a table to honor veterans, prisoners of war, those missing in action, and their spouses and families. Busby led the singing of “God Bless America,” and Twigg, in her closing prayer, asked that God would “dismiss us with your blessing” and grant

Five veterans — including guest speaker Jason Lee, who served in the U.S Marine Corps — were honored with Quilts of Valor at the VFW Post No. 7234 Veterans’ Day ceremony in Ocean View this week. Nick Bobruska, U.S. Marine Corps; Ed Bozzella, U.S. Army; Paul Kerstanski, U.S. Navy and Air Force; Roseanne McConnell, U.S. Navy and U.S. National Guard; and Lee each stood quietly as Quilts of Valor were wrapped around their shoulders. Recognizing veterans is a privilege, said Dana Mason of the Quilts of Valor Foundation. Although the quilters “may never know the extent of your sacrifice to protect and defend the United States of America, we award you this Quilt of Valor as an expression of gratitude from a grateful nation,” a message to veterans, printed in the program, stated. Mason asked those attending to sign fabric blocks that will be made into quilts that she said are designed to comfort, heal, honor Coastal Point • Susan Canfora and thank veterans.

ever-evolving creative journey. Over the years, Orr expanded his craft to include handmade furniture, duck and turkey calls, knives, and distinctive home décor. In 2016, he discovered woodturning and began creating shaped bowls rich with natural grain and character. By 2020, he introduced epoxy resin into his work, adding depth, color and visual movement to his wood designs. His newest passion — laser engraving — brings an additional level of intricacy and personalization to his pieces. Orr works with both locally sourced and exotic woods, including cherry, maple, wenge, bloodwood, red mallee burl, red coolibah, reclaimed red oak, curly maple, mahogany, purple heart, white limba, rainbow poplar, padauk and wood lace. The materials are transformed into serving boards, cutting boards, coasters and art pieces that highlight the natural beauty of each wood species. Since retiring in 2022, Orr has dedicated himself full-time to his craft, continually experimenting with new tools, techniques and materials. “His work reflects a deep respect for the artistry of woodworking and a passion for creating pieces that are both functional and visually extraordinary,” representatives said. Wood Creations by Randy will be featured at Inland Bays Garden Center’s Holiday Gift Gallery until Dec. 30. Inland Bays Garden Center is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information, contact Sandy Daniels at (302) 539-1839 or events@inlandbaysgardencenter.com.

At the annual Thanksgiving for Thousands on Saturday, Nov. 22, volunteers will pack 42,500 boxes of groceries to make a bountiful Thanksgiving dinner, including more than 15,000 boxes at Mountaire Farms in Selbyville. Hundreds of volunteers and employees, working assembly-line-style, will fill each box with a roaster chicken; cans of corn, green beans, cranberry sauce and yams; and stuffing, gravy and brownie mixes. Boxes will be distributed locally and in three towns in North Carolina, where Mountaire Farms also operates. To volunteer, call Director of Communications Cathy Bassett at (443) 735-9577. Check-in will be from 7 to 7:30 a.m. at the plant, at 55 Hosier Street in Selbyville. Packing 15,250 boxes there will begin at 8 a.m. and continue until noon, and hundreds more 13-inch-by-13-inch boxes will be packed at North Carolina facilities in Lumber Bridge, Siler City and Statesville. Those in need were able to request boxes in advance of the event by contacting churches or local food pantries. Meals for Thousands — which also includes Christmas for Thousands and Easter for Thousands — has been helping families since 1994. “None of it would be possible without the support of the community, as hundreds of volunteers show up each holiday to help us pack boxes. Over the years, we’ve developed a volunteer network that includes thousands of employees, organizations and neighbors across our communities,” Mountaire representatives stated. “For more than 30 years now, dozens of Mountaire employees give up a Saturday to coordinate a meal delivery program that provides a complete ready-to-cook Thanksgiving meal for more than a 150,000 people. We rely on hundreds of volunteers to help us accomplish our mission. Their passion for giving back to the community is what keeps us motivated to partner with so many outstanding organizations. … Thank you to our loyal group of volunteers who help make this event possible every year.”

County begins food drive for 42nd annual Caroling on The Circle campaign Sussex County is counting on the community’s generosity — and those extra cans in the cupboard — to break the circle of hunger and make the holidays a bit brighter for families in need. This week, the County government kicks off its yearly food drive for community food banks and will celebrate that effort during the 42nd annual Caroling on The Circle event, beginning at 6 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 4, in downtown Georgetown. As in recent years, Caroling on The Circle will serve as the leadin to the Town of Georgetown’s tree lighting and the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce’s annual Christmas parade, giving spectators and participants nearly three full hours of holiday cheer and community fun all on one night. Each year, the community singing event doubles as a food drive for hungry families in Sussex County, drawing hundreds of residents — along with the support of area schools, businesses and civic organizations — who turn out to sing Christmas carols and collect canned goods for area pantries, churches and food banks. The food drive begins now and runs through the end of December. In 2024, the food drive collected more than 17,000 items for nearly two dozen organizations. County officials aim to collect as many or more in 2025,

Jolly Roger Amusement Parks to continue Black Friday sale tradition The holiday season will kick off with an Ocean City, Md., tradition — the Jolly Roger Amusement Parks Black Friday Sale. On Friday, Nov. 28, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the SpeedWorld Building on 30th Street, amusement park fans can enjoy up to 50 percent off all 2026 park passes and select merchandise. “Black Friday is one of the most exciting days of the year for our team,” said Andy Fitts, park general manager of Jolly Roger Amusement Parks. “We love seeing familiar faces and welcoming new ones, all while helping families make memories that last long after the holidays. There’s truly no better way to get ready for summer in Ocean City.” Guests can take advantage of halfprice passes for all Jolly Roger Pier and 30th Street locations, including SpeedWorld, Splash Mountain Water Park, Jolly Roger Amusement Park and Mini Golf. They can choose from 2-hour armbands, or unlimited daytime or unlimited nighttime armbands — all up to 50 percent off. And Splash Mountain Season Passes could be the perfect gift for anyone who can’t get enough summer fun. To keep the energy high all day long, the event will include outdoor firepits, along with on-site radio coverage from Froggy 99.9 and Ocean 98, and free refreshments for guests.

teaming up with the Chamber, the Food Bank of Delaware, and others to encourage the community to do its part to ‘Pack the Pod,’ a 14-foot by 7-foot portable storage shed that will be set up at The Circle and stocked with food items for local pantries. Since its inception in the 1980s, Caroling on The Circle has raised more than 800,000 items for local food pantries and families in need in Sussex County. County Administrator Todd F. Lawson said Caroling on The Circle, after more than four decades, is a gift that keeps on giving. “Caroling on The Circle is more than a night on the holiday events calendar. It’s a mainstay that helps to provide the staples for deserving families right here in our community,” Lawson said. “We’re counting on our friends and neighbors to once again step up and

show the magic of the holidays through the simple act of giving.” As always, the historic Sussex County Courthouse and picturesque Circle will serve as the backdrop for an evening of traditional and Spanish carols. WBOC-TV on-air personality Jason Lee will emcee this year’s Caroling event, which will feature local singing artists Kevin Short and Ed Shockley, as well as performances by the St. Michael’s Children’s Choir and El Centro Cultural group. All of the evening’s events are free to attend; participants are asked to bring non-perishable food items for donation during Caroling on The Circle. Food items will be collected that night at the pod on The Circle, but donations can be dropped off from now until the end of December at the County Administrative Offices build-

ing, next to the courthouse, in Georgetown. Receptacles will be available outside the County complex, allowing the public to make drop-offs 24 hours a day throughout the holiday season. Staff will routinely collect items and ‘Pack the Pod’ before items are then distributed to pantries. Additionally, the public can drop off items at the Food Bank of Delaware’s partner locations, including The Home Depot near Lewes, as well as the Bridgeville, Georgetown and Laurel public libraries, or make a monetary donation online, with every dollar leveraging food that will stay in Sussex County.

Real EDvice What are the different types of mortgage insurance and when is it required? Conventional loans have mortgage insurance whenever the loan amount exceeds 80 percent of the lower of the appraised value or purchase price (if Bayer applicable).This can be paid by the lender or the borrower, where it is part of the monthly housing payment.The insurance payment drops off once the loan balance drops to 78 percent of the value. Jumbo loans frequently have no mortgage insurance charged to the borrower. VA loans do not have any mortgage insurance as part of the VA benefit. FHA loans have two mortgage insurance fees: the upfront mortgage insurance premium of 1.75 percent which can be added to the loan amount or paid by the borrower as part of the closing costs. And also, the annual mortgage insurance which ranges from 0.15 percent to 70 percent of the loan amount divided into 12 monthly payments. The percentage depends on the loan term, the loan amount and the loan value relative to the property value.The mortgage insurance term ranges from 11 years to the life of the loan. USDA loans have an annual mortgage insurance rate of 0.35 percent of the loan amount divided into 12 monthly payments and stays on for the life of the loan. Liz Bayer ProMortgage 302.581.2035 LizForLoans@gmail.com

There are various kinds of mortgage insurance, depending upon the type of mortgage you are applying for. Private mortgage insurance (PMI) is for conventional Sheats mortgages. PMI is required when the down payment is less than 20 percent.The cost varies depending on the down payment amount and credit score. There is borrower-paid PMI, in which the premium is paid monthly and added to the mortgage payment or can be paid in a single upfront payment.This can be canceled once the loan reaches 20 percent equity.There is also lender-paid PMI, where the lender pays the insurance by incorporating it into the interest rate.That option has no monthly payment, but the rate is increased. It cannot be canceled. Mortgage insurance premium (MIP) is for FHA (government-backed) loans.The MIP rate is the same regardless of down

payment or credit score.There is an upfront premium that is typically financed, and then the monthly premium is added to the mortgage payment. If the down payment is less than 10 percent, the MIP is required for the life of the loan. If the down payment is greater than 10 percent the insurance is required for the first 11 years of the loan.

The different types of mortgage insurance vary based on the type of loan and down payment. Mortgage insurance is

what protects the lender in case of default. Private mortgage insurance (PMI) applies to conventional loans (non-government loans) and is Flaherty required if your down payment is less than 20 percent of the purchase price or appraised value. It may be paid monthly, upfront at closing, or financed into your loan. PMI will automatically cancel when the loan-to-value reaches 78 percent, or you may request it to be removed at 80 percent (or less).

Kayla Wagner Surgery Patient

Kayla Wagner struggled with weight issues her whole life, despite being an active athlete. Between the loss of a close family member and countless unsuccessful weight-loss programs, Kayla felt defeated. She found the caring support and inspiration she needed at Beebe’s Center for Weight Loss Surgery. Initially hesitant, the team’s honest and compassionate care earned her trust. Nearly three years later, Kayla continues her lifelong transformation with the Beebe team still at her side and credits the dedicated staff, vital support groups, and ongoing therapy for helping her stay accountable and emotionally grounded. The surgery didn’t just improve her health, it helped her become more present in her life, a change she deeply values.

Yuletide at Winterthur returns with A Storybook Holiday Dazzling decorations and imaginative holiday trees inspired by poems, traditional tales and children’s books are being offered to delight visitors to Yuletide at Winterthur, on view Nov. 22 through Jan. 4, 2026. During this year’s Yuletide season, Winterthur will offer fun for all ages, including a Holiday Market on Nov. 22, magical garden displays, a large gingerbread replica of the historic train station on the estate, and extended hours on select Friday and Saturday evenings for tours, workshops, live music, shopping and dining. Guests will encounter displays based on “A Visit from Saint Nicholas,” “Alice in Wonderland,” C.S. Lewis’s “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” and other literary classics. Outside decorations will feature festive lights, antique sleighs, holiday trees suspended above the Reflecting Pool and the front pond, and vignettes inspired by the 1911 novel “The Secret Garden.” Other nods to literary works include a feast table display and champagne tower in the historic Greenhouse area, and a tree celebrating Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” in the Visitor Center.

A Storybook Holiday Decorated rooms on the self-guided

museum tour will feature holiday trees paired with the literary works that inspired them, theatrical props, and museum and library objects, such as Victorian combs, pocket watches and historic toys, to bring the stories to life. In addition, Delaware Shakespeare actors have recorded excerpts from several of the works that served as inspiration for A Literary Yuletide, including “Macbeth,” “The Great Gatsby,”“The Importance of Being Earnest,” and Phillis Wheatley’s poems “Hymn to the Morning” and “Hymn to the Evening.” The Du Pont Dining Room will feature a display inspired by “A Christmas Carol.” In an opulent scene from the story, Ebenezer Scrooge’s boss, Old Fezziwig, hosts a grand Christmas party for his friends, family and employees. Delaware Shakespeare recorded a soundscape to set the mood for the party scene and dining room décor. In one room, guests will peer through a rendering of an open wardrobe to see the holiday tree inspired by “The Lion,The Witch and the Wardrobe.”The life-sized illustration is based on a wardrobe from the museum’s renowned furniture collection. “With its doors flung open in quiet invitation, the vignette evokes the classic moment when the character Lucy Pevensie first catches a glimpse of another world

shimmering beyond,” organizers said. A purple tree in the Port Royal Entrance Hall will evoke “The Purple Cow” poem by Gelett Burgess.The literary selection is a nod to Winterthur’s early days as a farm where founder Henry Francis du Pont bred prized Holstein Friesian dairy cattle. While the poem, published in 1895, begins “I never saw a Purple Cow…,” visitors will indeed see a life-sized purple cow statue in the entrance hall, reflecting the whimsical spirit of Burgess’s famous poem. As a special treat from 3 to 5 p.m. on Nov. 22 during Holiday Market and Yuletide at Winterthur’s opening day, Winterthur’s 1927 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Ascot Tourer will be parked outside the Port Royal Entrance Hall. Just inside, in the Port Royal Parlor, there will be a holiday tree that pays tribute to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 Jazz Age classic novel “The Great Gatsby.” Though never as raucous as the parties thrown by Jay Gatsby, a weekend at Winterthur in its heyday was always an affair to remember, representatives noted. During its peak entertainment era, guests would arrive at Winterthur’s Port Royal entrance in their smartly appointed vehicles. “Les Fleurs Animées,” a book of illustrations from Winterthur Library’s rare

book collection that depicts flowers personified as women, also inspired a Yuletide tree design. Winterthur owns two copies of the book published in the mid1800s — an original single-volume French edition and a two-volume English translation bound with decorative elements in a striking emerald green on the cover.The vibrant color indicates the use of a pigment historically known to contain arsenic, and these works have become known as poison books. The books will be displayed with the tree in the Empire Parlor. Other literary works that will be brought to life inside the museum include “Gift of the Magi,”“The Black Tulip,” “Moby Dick,” the life and works of Edith Wharton, including an 1897 edition of “Decoration of Houses,” and William Wordsworth’s poem “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud.”

Dried-flower tree anchors Yuletide display in Conservatory The Dried-Flower Tree, a focal point of Yuletide at Winterthur, will once again be on display in the soaring, glass-walled Conservatory at the museum entrance. A Winterthur tradition since 1985, “the tree is a design masterpiece that showcases See WINTERTHUR page 45

Annual gingerbread display harkens to Winterthur’s roots Guests can marvel at a grand gingerbread replica of the Winterthur Train Station (circa 1890), adding a sweet and whimsical touch to the festivities, along with a magical dollhouse and an interactive model train display. For the fifth year, Bredenbeck’s Bakery & Ice Cream Parlor in Philadelphia will create Winterthur’s Yuletide gingerbread display. The family-run business has been in operation for over a century. The Winterthur Train Station gingerbread replica will be Bredenbeck’s biggest challenge yet.

MSO Music Director Repper receives two Grammy nominations The Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra announce this week that its music director, Michael Repper, has been nominated for two Grammy Awards for his work with the National Philharmonic. The album — a world-premiere recording celebrating the 150th anniversary of composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor — received nominations for Best Orchestral Performance and Best Classical Instrumental Solo.

Bethany Brewing to host Santa Paws fundraiser On Saturday, Dec. 13, from 1 to 3 p.m., Bethany Brewing will sponsor its annual Santa Paws fundraiser to benefit Humane Animal Partners (HAP). For the past three years, Bethany Brewing has offered pet owners the opportunity to receive a digital photo of their pet with Santa in exchange for a pet-related item to be donated to HAP in Rehoboth Beach. While the majority of photos taken in the past have featured puppies and dogs — some in very festive holiday attire — Santa has been photographed with the occasional cat and, last year, he posed for the first time with a rooster. The fundraiser has resulted in hundreds of pounds of donated food, toys and pet accessories for the benefit of HAP animals that are awaiting their forever homes. Photos will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis. Owners must register at the back entrance of the brewery, where donation bins will also be located. Note: Dogs must be on a leash and cats in a carrier. The brewery is located at 38450 Hickman Road, Ocean View. For more information, call (856) 371-3974.

DOC publishes handbook for friends and family By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter To keep family members and friends of those who are in jail informed, the Delaware Department of Correction has published the colorful 20-page Friends & Family Handbook filled with details, including what those who are incarcerated are fed. “Every day, DOC serves more than 15,000 wholesome, nutritionally balanced meals. Menus are developed with a registered dietitian based on USDA nutritional and calorie guidelines and are reviewed and updated every three months. Meals are provided to accommodate medical, religious and vegetarian diets,” the handbook states, adding that kitchens are maintained to high standards of safety and cleanliness and inspected regularly.

Those who are jailed have intake and orientation that can last for two weeks, and that includes medical assessment and an orientation that teaches them about rules, visitation, phone and tablet use, programs, activities, the Prison Rape Elimination Act and the DOC’s zerotolerance policy for sexual abuse and harassment. The handbook shows family and friends about how to search for those who are jailed, how to pick up their personal property, what kind of medical care they receive and about the tablet program, started in 2019, to “support family engagement through phone, messaging and video visits, with a limited number of tablet devices shared among users.” Last year, tablets were provided to every incarcerated person and “help sustain connections with family and commu-

nity supports, develop new knowledge and skills and use free time to explore individual interests.” “They connect users to an increasing variety of no-cost on-demand services, including education, wellness resources, career and life skills courses, e-books, faith-based resources and reentry support. This free content accounts for half of all tablet activity. Paid features include phone calls, messages, photos, e-cards, video visits and entertainment options such as music, movies and games.Tablet access can be restricted through the established disciplinary process for violations of rules,” the handbook states. It explains that those who are jailed can make phone calls that are charged per minute, have video visits through wallmounted consoles in housing areas, and buy snacks, hygiene products, writing sup-

plies and other items at the commissary. “This publication is aimed at providing information on demand in one easy-toaccess document, answer common questions and open channels of communication between members of the community and the DOC,” according to a Department of Corrections news release that included comments from Gov. Matt Meyer. “Incarceration doesn’t just affect individuals in custody. It also impacts their families and community connections,” Meyer said. “By working proactively to get information in their hands and taking steps to deliver responsive service, we can help them better support individuals under DOC supervision and also achieve our shared mission of rehabilitation and creating second chances.” Because knowledge is power, “We want to empower families and friends by providing knowledge and resources to be informed, to advocate, and to be engaged,” Department of Correction Commissioner Terra Taylor stated. “They are vital partners in our shared mission to help justice-involved individuals achieve personal growth and long-term reentry success. We encourage families and friends to support their loved ones by maintaining active and positive communication, motivating them to participate fully in treatment, programming and work opportunities and encouraging them to use their time under DOC supervision to prepare for success when they return to the community,”Taylor said. The handbook can be viewed online at https://doc.delaware.gov/assets/documents/doc_familyhandbook_ENG.pdf. A Spanish-language version is available at https://doc.delaware.gov/assets/documents/doc_familyhandbook_SPA.pdf.

In 2001, her family grew with the birth of her first grandson. She found new purpose and fulfillment being “Grandmom” to her four grandsons. In the following years, she welcomed three more grandsons. The boys cuddled, wrestled, challenged and loved her beyond measure. She enjoyed spending her time with them as much as they loved her. Able to retire at a young age, she enjoyed the fruits of her labor at her home with Warren, with her grandsons, with her girlfriends and with her abundant family, of whom she was very proud and very close.

Born on Dec. 23, 1937, in Watford City, N.D., to Norma Lee Campbell and Duncan D. Campbell, she grew up in a musical family and learned to play the piano by ear at a young age. In high school, she played basketball, which sparked a lifelong love of sports, and was a talented majorette known for her flaming baton routine. She remained devoted to her high school friends and hometown, organizing and attending reunions for many years. She was married to Carlyle Hystad from 1957 to 1983. They had four children while living in Minneapolis, then London, before settling in Gaithersburg, Md. She spent her days creating a warm and nurturing home for her children and shuttling them to school and numerous activities. Hystad worked in various roles for

Kettler Brothers Inc., and enjoyed entertaining, playing tennis and volunteering for her children’s swim team. After her children were grown, she worked for many years at Vector Research in Bethesda, Md., where her organizational skills and warm personality made her a valued colleague. When she retired, she moved to Bethany Beach, where she enjoyed playing bridge, working on crossword puzzles, reading and following women’s tennis. She was a devoted grandmother who treasured spending time with her grandchildren. She made birthdays and holidays special for her family, and was known for her baking, including delicious chocolate chip cookies and pumpkin bread. Her children and grandchildren will forever cherish her love, quick wit and sense of humor. Hystad was preceded in death by her son Christopher Hystad; her parents; and her brothers Robert Campbell and Ralph Campbell. She is survived by three of her children, Cheryl Hystad (and David Friday), Gregory Hystad (and Marsha Palazzi) and Cynthia Hystad Hart (and Ted); eight grandchildren, Michael Saponara, Julia Myers, Caroline Myers, Amanda Hart, Megan Hart, Ashley Hystad, Anna Hystad

William H.‘Bill’ Long, 74 William H. “Bill” Long, 74, died unexpectedly Oct. 30, 2025, at his home in Fredericksburg, Va. He was born Aug. 12, 1951, in Philadelphia, Pa., to William S. Long and Margaret H. Long, and grew up in Frankford, Del., with his parents, two sisters, several cousins and many friends. Growing up in Frankford afforded many opportunities for summer activities during high school, but his favorite was lifeguarding at Ocean Village near Bethany Beach, Del. Following graduation, he attended High Point University before going to work for the Federal Bureau of In-

vestigation, first at headquarters in Washington, D.C., then at Quantico, Va. He retired from the FBI after 31 years of service. Following retirement, he and his wife, Cindy, spent several winters at their beach house on Topsail Island in North Carolina and caring for their rescued beagles. While in retirement, he spent many hours researching family histories online and documenting historical graves —especially those of the Long family and their relatives in Frankford, Ocean View and Bethany Beach. Long’s wife, Cindy, preceded him in death in 2021. He is survived by three sons, William H. Long Jr., Clifford and Andrew; and a grandson, Blake. He is also survived by his sisters Sandra Baker (and David) and Betsy Pickett (and Michael); sisterin-law Doris Talandis (widow of Adam, who passed away in 1993); and brothers-in-law Fred Taber (and Anna) and Mike Taber (and Judy); along with many nieces and nephews. Long and his wife, Cindy, will be memorialized in a private service on Topsail Island, N.C.

SDO, SDC to present ‘Messiah’ at Cape Henlopen By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter The Southern Delaware Orchestra, along with the Southern Delaware Chorale, will present Handel’s “Messiah,” an oratorio that tells the story of Jesus, from his birth to his death and resurrection, at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 13, and at 3 p.m. on Sunday. Dec. 14, at Cape Henlopen High School in Lewes. Tickets cost $30 for general admission or $10 for those ages 11 to 17, and are free for children 10 or younger. Visit

www.southerndelawarechorale.org for more information. Written in 1741, Handel’s “Messiah” is an English-language oratorio, or musical work for orchestra and voices, composed by German composer George Frideric Handel. It was first performed in Dublin, Ireland, in 1742, then in London the next year. “This year, the Southern Delaware Chorale — a cornerstone of musical culture in southern Delaware — celebrates its 40th anniversary,” Steve Greifer, board president and co-founder,

told the Coastal Point. “We at Sodelo are incredibly honored to join in this momentous celebration. Handel’s ‘Messiah,’ the very masterpiece that launched the Southern Delaware Chorale four decades ago, will now be performed with the added support of Sussex County’s own symphony orchestra.” “Sodelo and the Chorale are deep in rehearsal, preparing what promises to be one of the most notable and unforgettable musical events of the season,” Griefer said. “These concerts are about more than just music. It’s a powerful

story of community, shared passion and the enduring power of artistic collaboration. Now, our two ensembles will join forces to honor the past, celebrate the present and proudly march together into the bright future of Delaware’s thriving arts scene.” “We invite you to join us for this historical celebration, which brings together one of the oldest and one of the youngest musical groups in Southern Delaware to present what is sure to be a highlight of the Southern Delaware holiday music landscape,” he said.

Sussex Conservation District accepting award entries The Sussex Conservation District (SCD), the delegated authority for Delaware sediment and stormwater regulations in Sussex County, is now accepting entries for the 2026 Conservation Stewardship Award. The award celebrates organizations that have gone above and beyond regulatory requirements to protect and preserve Sussex County’s natural resources. “We hope to inspire continued voluntary conservation efforts and empower residents to partner with organizations that prioritize sustainable practices,” said Jessica Watson, SCD sediment and stormwater program manager. “Since our inaugural event in 2022, we’ve been delighted by the enthusiastic response and support from our community.” Entries will be accepted in eight categories: Certified Construction Reviewer, Design Team, Developer, Green Conservation, Home Builder, Homeowner Association, Project Manager and Site Contractor. The deadline to submit an entry is Friday, Dec. 12. A panel of judges will review and score entries, and winners will be announced in early January of 2026. Winners will be honored at a formal celebration in the spring, where they will receive the 2026 Conservation

Stewardship Award. Award recipients gain recognition throughout Sussex County and beyond, including promotion by SCD, individ-

ual video spotlights highlighting their efforts, and a custom award graphic to showcase across their marketing and communications platforms.

To see past winners in action and learn more about the application process, visit www.sussexconservation.org.

Stokes, Henry lead IRHS football past Odessa to reach state semifinal By Mike Stern Staff Reporter He wore street clothes beneath his Indian River High School 2025 DIAA Class 1A championship jacket. The featured running back who had contributed 1,016 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns on the turf this season was neither taped nor padded beneath the Friday night lights. Senior Davon Handy was still feeling the effects of an ankle sprain he had suffered on his final carry against Delmar on Oct. 30, which also limited him to just one touch last week at Lake Forest. That meant the Indian River offense had to rely on Syracuse University verbal commit Darnell Stokes Jr. and junior running back Czar Henry for the second straight game. Assisted by another outstanding performance by the Indians’ offensive line, Stokes and Henry both delivered in the clutch. Stokes exploded for three touchdown runs and 166 rushing yards while Henry added two running scores and 105 yards on the ground. The duo’s rushing heroics led the No. 1-seeded Indians to a 42-7 DIAA quarterfinal victory over No. 8 seed Odessa in front of a capacity Indian River Stadium throng on Friday, Nov. 14. The undefeated Class 2A, District 3, champions and No. 1 seed Indians (110) will host a rematch of their Nov. 7 battle against No. 4 seed Lake Forest (10-1) on Friday, Nov. 21, beginning at 7 p.m. The other semifinal pits No. 2 seed Howard High School of Technology (11-0) against visiting No. 3 seed Red Lion Christian Academy (9-2) on Saturday, Nov. 22, beginning at 1 p.m. in Abessinio Stadium in Wilmington. Both semifinal game winners will meet on Saturday, Nov. 29, for the DIAA Class 2A football title at Abessinio Stadium, beginning at noon.

Stokes puts the Indians in front Stokes put the Indians in front, 7-0, with a 19-yard touchdown run midway through the first quarter. Less than a minute later, Odessa junior running back Nakai Hann tied the score with a 52-yard TD run. But the Indians did not blink.

Above, the IRHS football teams takes the field in IR’s win over Odessa on Friday, Nov. 14. Stokes put them back in front for good, 14-7, when he accelerated for a 70-yard touchdown jaunt that brought the spectators out of their seats with 2:59 remaining in the opening stanza. Stokes showed such amazing quickness that it appeared the Ducks defenders were standing still. “Darnell is fast — plain and simple,” said Indian River football head coach Phil Townsend. “When he sees an opening, he hits the hole hard. And when he gets going, he is hard to catch.” Indian River took control of the game by scoring three more rushing touchdowns in the second quarter. Henry used his speed and cutting ability to escape a scrum and score

from 15 yards out to extend IR’s lead to 21-7. “When I looked up, everyone was crashing down and hitting me,” said Henry. “But I kept my feet going, saw a small window, and I hit it. I just kept my feet going. “Some people say I have a running style similar to Davon’s,” Henry added. “That’s because I always wanted to be similar to him. When Davon runs, he cuts on a dime and is an awesome back. I always looked up to Davon and wanted to match his style and productivity.” Henry added a 3-yard TD scamper three minutes later, to extend the Indians’ lead to 28-7. After IR senior defensive back Luis

Hicks intercepted an Odessa pass, senior wide receiver Michael Peranteau scored on an 8-yard sweep 2:40 before halftime to give the Indians a 35-7 lead at intermission. Odessa (7-4) spent the second half trying to cut into IR’s lead, but the home team’s defense bent but never broke. Stokes put an exclamation point on the victory by exploding for his third TD — another memorable long run covering 68 yards with 5:07 left in the fourth quarter. It was his second consecutive three rushing touchdown performance.

Freshman/Unified Flag Football

Freshman middle linebacker Travis Johnson (3) provided some timely, tough defense in the Indians’ playoff opener. He helped the defending state champion and #1 seed Indian River Unified flag football team build a 38-0 halftime lead en route to a 50-19 quarterfinal victory over visiting #8 seed Seaford on Thursday, November 13. Johnson helped keep the Bluejays’ offense in check by making a team-leading seven flag pulls (tackles). In fact, this tackling Travis made his stops so quickly, the opponents didn’t realize that he had already pulled their flags, which caused them to lose yards.

Unified Football Continued from page 69 with a 35-yard scoring run for his first touchdown of the season. “Sophomore James ‘Big Game’ Gentry was a defensive threat, and he earned a twopoint safety for us,” said head coach Jamaal Bivens. “Freshman Ben Shearman got the crowd hyped up as he tiptoed along the sideline on his way into the end zone. “Defensively, junior Ke’Niya Mitchell was a menace to the Bluejays’ offense as she disrupted every play they attempted,” added Bivens. “She showcased her speed on the Indians’ offense, rushing for 12 yards. Freshman Travis Johnson lit the field on fire with his consistent defensive flag pulls. He made tackles so quickly that the Bluejays didn’t even realize he had already pulled their flags, which caused them to lose yards.” Sophomore Landon Steininger used his height advantage to bat down passes, which caused frustration for Seaford’ s receivers. Sophomore Mason Daraio was the ultimate teammate by eagerly filling in when his name was called. “Senior Brayden Bennetch did an awesome job facilitating the offense,” said Bivens. “His offensive efforts allowed his teammates to showcase their ability to attack. And his brother, senior Kyle Bennetch, had an incredible game by scoring two touchdowns and a pair of two-point conversions.” Senior Candem Callahan and sopho-

Salute to the IRHS Seniors Hocker’s communication skills helped her excel on IR volleyball’s back line By Mike Stern Staff Reporter She was as important a contributor to the IRHS girls’ volleyball team as her teammates who set up and scored the points. Gianna Hocker patrolled the Indian River back line, recording digs and helping to transition her teammates as they went on the offensive. “The back line requires a lot of communication,” said Hocker. “If you were to put three players who had never played together in the back, you would most likely fail to defend against the opponent’s shots. You have to build a relationship with everyone you work around. It helps to understand what type of shots your teammates would prefer to handle, and which incoming shots they may struggle with. As a result, you know when to cover more ground. “To become efficient on the back row, you also have to study the team you are playing against,” added the resident of Dagsboro. “If someone is hitting one specific spot every time, you need to move there. You have to remember how every server hits the ball when you are back there, because setting up for serves received will start the entire flow of us earning the point.” Hocker contributed 21 digs to help the Indians reach the DIAA playoffs, where they lost at Saint Mark’s on Wednesday, Oct. 29.

proud of her older brother, Chance Hocker, a football and baseball standout who graduated from IRHS in 2023, and her sister, Cassidy. “I have always strived to be like Chance,” she said. “He is liked by everyone around him and never fails to make them laugh. He picked up every sport like it was nothing, and I truly wish I had his talent.” Hocker’s family has always supported her in Coastal Point • Joe Maciey everything she IRHS girls volleyball senior defensive specialist Gianna does. Hocker. “My mother, second season as head coach. It truly Areigh, and father, Wade, know I has made the team feel more like a have a busy schedule, and they were family, rather than a coach getting to always there for me to fall back on know all of us again.” when it became too much,” she said. Hocker said she is extremely “I couldn’t wish for a better set of

cheerleaders.” Hocker cited Rob Pinchak, the director at FreeState Volleyball Club, based in Snow Hill, Md., as a coach who has significantly impacted her career. “He pushed me in ways that no coach had ever done before,” she said. “He believed in me when I didn’t think I could push myself any further. Every ball I couldn’t pass, every serve I missed, and even every tear I shed on the court — he was there to make me prove to myself I could be successful. Without him, I don’t think I would be where I am today. This sport brings me so much joy. And every time I think I am losing my passion for it, I think of him and how he believed in me every step of the way.” In addition to playing volleyball, Hocker is vice president of HOSA, treasurer of the Leo Club, historian of the National Honor Society and a section leader for the Indian River High School marching band. She plans to work in the healthcare professions, as a surgeon or a nurse.

ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS!

Solid practice and preparation In order to be a key contributor on gameday, Hocker always put her best foot forward in practice. “When I showed up to practice, I was accepting of all drills or work that needed to be done,” she said. “I kept a positive attitude at all times. I had never been content in my efforts, so I was continuously striving to improve myself. I tried my hardest to never give up, even when the situation becomes tougher.” Hocker said it has truly been an honor to play volleyball all four years of her career at Indian River High School. “I created some of the best memories with the girls who surrounded me,” said the 5-foot-4 defender, who also played defense as a member of the Indians girls’ lacrosse team during the spring season. “I know I will miss every second of this. “The only part that was difficult was the constant changing of coaches.

SpecialTeams • Ty Weber, junior, punter — “Can punt the ball directionally and a long distance.”

While their focus has turned into the postseason, the accolades for the Indian River High School football team have been announced for their DIAA Class 2A, District 3 regular-season performances, and — boy, oh boy — was there a lot of recognition up and down the roster for their perfect 10-0 run. IR head coach Phillip Townsend took some time out of his busy schedule in preparing for the DIAA 2A semifinal matchup with Lake Forest to talk about each of his players who were honored by the coaches in the district. Let’s take a look at who those players are, and what Townsend had to say about each of them.

Can make a big play anytime he has the ball in his hands.” • Darnell Stokes, senior, wide receiver — “Darnell can score from anywhere on the field. You get the ball to him through the air or on the ground, he can make plays.” • Michael Peranteau, senior, wide receiver — “Has great hands and runs crisp routes. He can make a big play at any time. Very physical and can block well at WR.” • Trigg Fulkrod, junior, center — “Moved from guard to center early in the season. He took on the challenge and has excelled.

He does a great job finishing tackles.” • Darnell Stokes, senior, defensive back — “This year he locked down the No. 1 receiver from every team we faced.

His achievements this season rank him tied for third in points, tied for fifth in penalty shots made (two), tied for second in goals and tied for sixth in game-winning goals in the Neumann University record book. Illian’s four goals and 10 points on Oct. 11 against Pratt University are the most in a single game in school history. “I give a lot of credit to my teammates over the years who gave me advice and helped me improve,” said Illian. “All of the players I’ve been around have impacted me to make me a better player. They enable me to get on the ball to score goals.” Illian also credited Neumann University men’s soccer head coach, Erik Temple, who also coached him at Sporting Delaware. “Erik is a great coach who put a lot of faith in me,” said Jordan of Temple, who earned his second straight conference Coach of the Year honor. “He has a great understanding of the sport, which helps me figure out the game better. He gives me tips to get myself into the game more.” Illian had two total shots and one shot-on-goal in the Knights’ 3-0 loss to Wheaton College in an NCAA first-round playoff game on Saturday, Nov. 15, that ended their season. The Knights finished with a 13-43 won-lost-tied mark and earned their third straight Atlantic East Conference title. Neumann University is an NCAA Division III school located in Aston, Pa. Illian was a four-year varsity starter at IRHS and graduated from the school in 2023 as the Indians’ career-goal scoring leader, with 65.

By the numbers The Indians’ offense generated a whopping 460 yards of total offense, including 264 yards on the ground. “We had a solid run game,” said Townsend. “Both Czar and Darnell did a good job getting yards on the ground, and our offensive line effectively created running lanes. The line is playing together. Their pass protection has been good, and they have opened up some good holes for the backs.” The Indians’ passing game contributed 196 yards, including 101 from junior tight end Brennan Loose. Senior quarterback Dylan Grise completed 11 of 20 passes. The IR defense limited the Ducks

to 239 yards, 102 of them on the ground, as Odessa spent most of the night trying to cut into the Indians’ lead. The Indians had five quarterback sacks, including two by junior Alan Olguin-Hernandez and one each from seniors Jacob Killen, Ubayd Pringle and Ricky Wiggins. Loose led the IR tacklers with eight, while Wiggins and junior Landen Erbe added seven each. “We had some guys get banged up and had some others in some new spots,” said Townsend. “They were holding our defensive line, but no flags were thrown. Their quarterback,” he added of Ducks senior QB Cooper Curran, “did a good job of scrambling and making some plays on the move. And we did a good job holding them to just one score.”

Staniszewski’s three recovered fumbles.

Season stats For the season, Stokes scored his 13th, 14th and 15th rushing TDs, while Peranteau and Henry each now have three on the year.
