IRSD Board of Education declines to fund SRO at LB

Volume 20, Issue 43

No place like home

By Mike Smith Staff Reporter The Indian River School District Board of Education on Monday, Oct. 23, declined to fund a school resource officer (SRO) position at Lord Baltimore Elementary School, determining that splitting the salary of the current SRO there with the Town of Ocean View would open the door to funding requests from all elementary schools in the district.

“This would be the only elementary school that would have an SRO” in the district, said Board Member Donald Hattier, who chairs the IRSD finance committee. “We don’t have enough money, at this time, to fund every single elementary school. It is a tough call to hire for this one building, versus all of the other elementary schools in the district.”

There are seven elementary schools in the district.

No motion was made to fund the SRO position, so there will be no action taken on the IRSD paying half of the SRO salary. The request by the Town of Ocean View was for $40,000 in IRSD funding. Ocean View Town Manager Carol Houck and Police Chief Ken McLaughlin also stressed that the OVPD had invested in training for Sgt. Rhys Bradshaw to serve as the SRO at Lord Baltimore, including special gun-safety training and working with younger students.

Last year, the $40,000 match for the annual salary was paid by an anonymous donor. The IRSD has declined to fund this position, and the town council and IRSD have been in something of an impasse on salary support.

Pot laws, systems being clarified

By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter In April, Delaware became the 22nd state to legalize recreational marijuana, a move that pleased many, while prompting some municipal leaders — including in Ocean View and Millsboro — to write ordinances prohibiting the sale and manufacturing of cannabis within their town limits.

The Delaware General Assembly passed House Bill 1 and House Bill 2 in the 2023 legislative session, but the idea is new and misinformation has been swirling like exhaled smoke, so to help explain the new laws, the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce recently hosted a webinar featuring attorney Molly DiBianca of the law firm Clark Hill-Wilmington.

“Dispensaries won’t be able to open for more than a year, so we have time before sales begin to get regulations in place,” DiBianca said, adding that, although states can legalize the sale and manufacturing of cannabis, it is still prohibited by federal law.

Selbyville’s Ziegler shining quite brightly Special to the Coastal Point • Submitted

Zoe Ziegler, of Selbyville, stops to take in a bit of the moment at the New York Film Festival at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.

By Kerin Magill Staff Reporter Zoe Ziegler walks onto the stage at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, and the audience erupts in applause and cheers.

Ziegler, 11, grins and takes her seat next to Annie Baker, the writer of “Janet Planet,” produced by A24 Films, which is due for broad release in the coming months.

The New York audience has just seen the film, and the host of the questionand-answer session that follows it tells them that Ziegler has been invited to join based on their positive reaction to her performance.

Asked about the “quiet and subtle film” that centers around the character of Lacey, played by Ziegler, and her mother, played by Julianne Nicholson, playwright Annie Baker explained that, indeed, Ziegler’s character, and her view of the things that occur during the film, are at the heart of the film.

Ziegler attends classes at Traveling Tutorz, the independent school run by her mother, Carla Mansour. It was a schoolmate’s mother who told Mansour that she knew of a role that Ziegler would be “perfect” for, Mansour said.

After some discussion, Ziegler decided she would like to audition, so she and her mother put together a video to send to the production company, A24.

“She talked about her horse and showed her ribbons,” Mansour said.

Ziegler has been interested in horses

since she was about 3 years old, she said, and has competed for several years in several equestrian categories.

Baker, asked about the casting process, said, “First, we saw every child actor who spoke English in the world,” which elicited laughter from the theater audience. “I met a ton of girls,” she said, adding that the process of casting the character of Lacey “was one of the most stressful experiences of my life.”

Baker said she was looking specifically for a child who was somewhat of an introvert, “who wasn’t trying to be adorable and likable for the camera.”

Ziegler told Baker that when she heard about the part from her friend’s mom, “I thought it was cool, and I wanted to do it.”

Baker recalled taking a walk with Ziegler through Prospect Park in New York City during the casting process.

She asked Ziegler why she wanted to do the movie, and Ziegler answered, “I like memorizing lines,” Baker said.

In fact, Baker said, once Ziegler got the part, Baker realized that she had perfect recall of her lines. “They were word-perfect,” she said to Ziegler during the question-and-answer time. During the editing process, Baker recalled, she said to the film editor, “There isn’t a single take where she says a word wrong…”

“I’ve never seen anything like it, your precision,” she told Ziegler.

“You did know everybody else’s lines, too, I think,” Baker told her.

When the adult actors flubbed a line, “I would see Zoe kinda raise an eyebrow,” Baker said, as Ziegler giggled.

“You were very respectful, though,” Baker added.

“It was very hard for me to picture See ZIEGLER page 4

SRO Continued from page 1 ing,” said Hattier of the cooperation between the district and the Town in training and supporting Bradshaw in the role. “The Lord Baltimore building is in just one location.”

IRSD Superintendent Jay Owens made the request for funding the SRO position on behalf of the Town.

“The ask is for $40,000 for Lord Baltimore. The Town of Ocean View trained the officer and did special gun training as an investment, which will be important for this position. The concern is how to pay for the other half of the SRO salary.”

Houck this week said she believes the decision was short-sighted and that the IRSD finance committee did not have all of the research.

“They are just sticking their heels in the ground with the same old response or excuse that ‘We don’t do that in this school district,’” said Houck of the district’s stance on funding police SROs, after the decision. “There is no other school district where an SRO program has been stood-up like ours. Some schools may have Chinese immersion programs, and others don’t have these language classes.”

“We are very disappointed,” said Houck. “We are going to make another request to go before the IRSD finance committee and speak for ourselves.”

She noted that Owens had indicated a request for a direct conversation with IRSD finance officials might be looked upon favorably. The projected annual budget for Indian River schools is $282.5 million, with just over $60 million in the discretionary budget for the 2023-2024 school year.

There are a total of 10,786 students enrolled in IRSD schools, according to an official audit released at the school board meeting on Monday.

“Even if the IRSD had to pay half the salary for an SRO for all of the elementary schools, it would still be a smaller amount of money, of like $250,000 to $280,000 or so to protect our kids,” said Houck. That amount would be a small fractional percent of the total revenue in the schools’ budget.

“We just don’t buy it,” said Houck of the rationale provided by IRSD in refusing to fund the SRO locally.

“We met with the schools in September to make our case,” said Houck.

“We had the chance to share everything that was accomplished at L.B. and what the future plans were with Dr. Jay Owens and Leolga Wright, the president, and both of them were very receptive to us.”

“That request then went to the IRSD finance committee meeting with very little of the information we had provided. They did not convey all of the details and our understanding of how important this SRO program is,” noted

Houck. “We will give it another try so it’s timely for our budget year, which starts May 1, 2024. We are going to get heavier into this in the new year and try to change some minds.”

“The IRSD has agreed, in principle, that we can go to the finance committee directly on our end,” said the town manager. “The school board, our town council and our Ocean View staff will need to know where we stand.”

“Engagement with this officer, Rhys Bradshaw, at this young age means we are really creating change for the community and the lives of the LBES students and their relationship with police,” said Houck. “It can set the tone, even though we cannot measure it, because things won’t happen later when children trust the police.”

“We know that the L.B. PTO is involved in a fundraiser for this school year,” said Houck about other potential resources. “We hope they have some success. I have not been provided other direction than that we will continue the SRO program through this school year.”

Ziegler Continued from page 2 anyone else in the movie after I met you,” she said to Ziegler.

During filming of “Janet Planet” in the summer of 2022 in Amherst, Mass., Baker said, she and Zoe had a “signal” they would give each other when the filming process got intimidating. Baker has written many plays, winning the

Board of Education President Leolga Wright provided special flowers for each of the ambassadors. Each ambassador walked to the stage, along with their school principal, to receive the certificate, the pin and those congratulatory flowers.

Pulitzer Prize in 2014 for “The Flick,” but “Janet Planet” is her first film, so she said she understood Ziegler’s potential fears, “being surrounded by all these grips,” the support technicians on a movie set.

Baker explained following the Lincoln Center showing of the film that she knew that her “assignment” when she began writing “Janet Planet” was “going to be the story of a mother and daughter told through the people who

come into their lives.”

Back at home in Selbyville, while her family’s seven chihuahuas jump and play in the back yard, Ziegler is as quiet sitting at her dining room table as she was on the Lincoln Center stage. Only when asked about her horse, Selene — which she was able to buy with proceeds from her acting debut — does she become anything close to animated.

Ziegler opened up the most when she and Mansour recalled the house

they stayed in in Amherst.

“It was haunted,” Ziegler said.

Mansour agreed with that assessment but said “it was adorable” anyway.

“It wasn’t adorable,” Ziegler said. “I saw someone walking on the steps,” she said. “And then Dad saw your door opening and closing.”

Talking about the experience of filming the movie, Ziegler said, “Sometimes

Now, she is the faculty advisor for the FFA at Sussex Central.

Revel is working on a satellite program to expose children from Howard T. Ennis to agriculture.

“We have 14 kids who are getting real-world exposure on our 5-acre farm,” said Revel of her blended class teaching through the Career & Technical Education (CTE) program at Sussex Central.

“I love teaching at Central.”

“We need to protect our agricultural industry in Delaware, which I am afraid is shrinking now,” said Revel. “I want to expose a broad group of kids to ag.”

“Now, we may need to move to the waterways to grow things like baby oysters,” she said.

SCHS agriculture teacher talks aquaculture The Coastal Point caught up this week with Kasey Revel, an agricultural teacher at Sussex Central High School who specializes in horticulture, at a recent Delaware Center for the Inland Bays (CIB) summit on aquaculture and growing oysters in the region.

“We’d like to participate in the growth of aquaculture in this region,” said Revel, who hails from a family poultry farm in Farmington. She is also married to SCHS chemistry teacher Chris Revel, whom she met when they were both seeking their teacher’s certification years ago through the Alternate Routes to Certification (ARTC) program.

Laws Continued from page 1 person, but remains in most systems for a couple weeks, she said. So far, there are no devices similar to breathalyzers available to test for marijuana in the system.

Delaware Gov. John Carney vetoed both bills last year, but this year, although he did not support them, he didn’t veto but instead left them on his desk, unsigned, and they became law after 10 days, in keeping with the state Constitution.

One benefit of the bills passing is assuring that those who buy marijuana will receive a product that is safe, while eliminating the illegal market, DiBianca said.

Proponents say new jobs will be created in Delaware and users will be able to buy marijuana in their state of residence, instead of giving business to nearby states where it is legal, including nearby Maryland.

DiBianca explained HB1 requires anyone who purchases marijuana to be at least 21. Only 1 ounce can be purchased at a time.

“If you are within 1 ounce or lower, that is personal use and protected by law,” DiBianca said.

Adults may also carry paraphernalia and transport it, or have it in their vehicles, but marijuana may not be smoked in a vehicle or in public areas. It may not be grown, cultivated or manufactured by individuals.

It will be illegal to sell marijuana to a neighbor or give it as a gift, even an adult

neighbor. It must be purchased only from an authorized seller.

Stores that sell it won’t open for about 18 months from the time the bill was passed, so there is currently nowhere to legally buy marijuana in Delaware unless it is for medical purposes and the buyer has a doctor-issued medical card.

“These are all new things. Before this bill was passed, these would have been illegal and unlawful and you could get in trouble,” DiBianca said.

HB 2 concerns those who want to sell marijuana in Delaware and what is necessary to obtain a license to do so.

Legal reasons to use medical marijuana vary, but generally medical cards are permitted for its use to treat terminal illnesses, cancer, HIV, immune deficiency, cirrhosis, lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, post-traumatic stress disorder, epilepsy, seizure disorder, glaucoma and debilitating migraines.

Medical marijuana cannot be possessed on a school bus or in schools, correctional facilities or health care facilities.

It may not be smoked on any transportation or in public places. Employers cannot discriminate against those who have medical marijuana cards but may take action if it would cause the employer to lose money or licensing under federal law, DiBianca explained.

Employers are not obligated to allow anyone to use or possess medical marijuana at work and they have the right to refuse to allow a card holder to possess medical marijuana, or use or take it in any

form, right before work or while the employee is on break.

Employers can’t fire anyone who has a medical-use card but they can prohibit employees from coming to work under the influence of marijuana, possessing it or using it at work. Employers may ask to see an employee’s medical marijuana card.

During the webinar, DiBianca was asked whether an employer can refuse to hire candidates who use marijuana recreationally.

“Think of it like alcohol,” she said. “Alcohol is legal if you are 21 or older, and you are not breaking the law … [such as] driving under the influence or intoxicated.

So if you are over 21, you are allowed to consume alcohol,” but an employee cannot take a cocktail to work and drink it during the day or arrive at work impaired by alcohol.

“All of those rules can be applied to legal use of marijuana. If I am an employer and I don’t want an employee to come to work impaired, I get to say, ‘Don’t come to work impaired.’ If I say, ‘I don’t want any marijuana in the workplace,’ that is fine,” DiBianca said.

If an employer refused to hire anyone who ever drank alcohol, “You wouldn’t have a lot of applicants, or it would certainly limit the number. Would you do that lawfully? Yes, it is absolutely legal, but would the employers get any employees?” she said.

Ocean View preparing for Cops & Goblins

By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter You know what they say: If you’ve got it, haunt it.

And they will be, as thousands of guests in frightfully unique costumes from dinosaurs to dragons materialize at John West Park in Ocean View for the eighth annual Cops & Goblins Halloween celebration on Saturday, Oct. 29.

Planned for 1 to 4 p.m., the popular family event, hosted by the Ocean View Police Department, will feature masquerading, trick-or-treating, pony rides, a petting zoo, bounce houses, carnival rides and ghoulishly good music.

Guests will be treated to cheese and pepperoni pizza, hamburgers, hotdogs,

Rita’s Ice in a variety of flavors, bags of potato chips, soda and water — all free of charge.

This year, Pohanka of Salisbury donated and will have a few cars on display.

Hocker’s grocery stories are providing hamburgers and hotdogs, and Papa John’s is giving the police department a buy-one, get-one-free offer on the pizza.

Weis, Giant and B.J.’s also contributed.

In case of rain, Cops & Goblins will be held the next day.

Ocean View Police Chief Kenneth McLaughlin has, each year, credited “the men and women of the OVPD, in conjunction with our partners in the community” for planning the event and said one of the hallmarks of Cops & Goblins is the emphasis on community

policing.

During an earlier conversation with the Coastal Point, McLaughlin said Cops & Goblins is the result of the police department wanting to add a signature event to its outreach initiatives.

“We were looking to host something that would be fun for the whole family and would generate positive encounters between the police and young people in the Ocean View area. On Oct. 31, 2015, the inaugural Cops & Goblins event took place. Hundreds of area children attended, and feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive. … Cops & Goblins was started with the goal of, ‘What can we do for our local families and particularly the kids?’ and as a way to give back to the community for all the support they give us. We really are

blessed in the fact that we get overwhelming support from the community,” McLaughlin said.

Capt. Heath Hall, who organizes the festivities, agreed and said vendors enjoy giving out candy and seeing children in costume.

“They get into it, too. Some of the vendors even dress up. … It’s a good event for the family. They can come out and enjoy themselves. It’s a family festival and that’s the way we want to keep it. We are expecting a big turnout this year. We estimate a few thousand people attend, and the kids always seem to have a blast,” Hall said.

“We really look forward to it each and every year. We really enjoy watching the families come out and have good time. It’s a nice family event,” he said.

Trail of Treats to take center state in Millville

By Kerin Magill Staff Reporter Millville’s Evans Park will transform into a Trail of Treats on Saturday, Oct. 28, as families and businesses bring out the sillies and maybe a scary or two.

Children are welcome to wear their

Halloween costumes as they wander along the trail of decorated tents and tables. Each space will be eligible for prizes for best-decorated participant.

As of earlier this week, more than 20 businesses and individuals had signed up for spaces on the trail.

In addition to trick-or-treating, there

will be games and prizes for little ones, according to Parks & Recreation Director Liz Kain-Bolen.

“We’ll have a pumpkin patch, pumpkin decorating, games and prizes, and selfie stations — places where you can take pretty pictures,” Kain-Bolen said.

Hotdogs and Thai food will be available to purchase from food trucks at the

park during the event, she added. All events at the Trail of Treats are free of charge. Children should bring their own trick-or-treat bags.

The Trail of Treats will be open from 3 to 5 p.m. on Saturday.

Evans Park is located at 32517 Dukes Drive, Millville. For more information, call (302) 858-3658 or email park@mvtown.com.

Bethany again hosting Wags, Witches & Warlocks

By Kerin Magill Staff Reporter Candy? Puppies? Family fun?

Bethany Beach has all of that and more going for it this weekend as the Wags, Witches & Warlocks event — a fundraiser for the Brandywine Valley SPCA — romps into town.

The event, now in its second decade as a Halloween tradition, kicks off bright and early with Puppy Yoga at 8 a.m. Yes, you can do your Downward Dog pose and get puppy kisses at the same time. Participants must register in

Ziegler Continued from page 4 it was hard, and sometimes it was easy.”

The plot, Mansour said, “is all about [Lacey and Janet] learning and growing,” and she said she thinks her daughter’s ability to say volumes with facial expressions, rather than words, was what got her the part. “The facial expression she has at the end — it’s priceless,” she said.

“That was the only time I cried,” Mansour said. “I thought I would cry the whole movie, but it was too funny,” she said.

General release for “Janet Planet” will be sometime in 2024, although it has already begun making the rounds of film festivals, such as the recent one Ziegler attended with her mom, dad, stepdad and two brothers in New York City, as well as the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado. No actors attended the Telluride festival because of the Screen Actors Guild strike, Mansour said, but they were given a waiver to attend the New York event.

“We just play it day by day,” Mansour said.

Even before the movie part came about, Ziegler had started her own YouTube channel about her competitive activities with Selene.

“We told her, ‘You’re putting yourself out there. You have to prepare yourself for criticism,’” she said. “There’s mean people, and there’s nice people. You have to prepare yourself to not let that bother you.

“It allowed her to see herself on video,” and her 3,108 followers at the time of the Coastal Point interview have thus far been kind, her mom said.

At the film festival, Mansour said, people asked Ziegler if she was scared to speak in front of hundreds of people.

“She said, ‘Nope,’” Mansour said.

Ziegler said that before the “Janet Planet” role came up, she would never have considered pursuing an acting career, but now that she’s tried it, and had a positive experience, she just might consider it.

For now, she’s happy to be back home, her mother said.

All of the puppies at the Puppy Yoga event will be from the Brandywine Valley SPCA’s Georgetown facility and will be available for adoption during the Wags, Witches & Warlocks event, according to event spokesperson Christi Arndt and coordinator Shannon McDowell.

The yoga puppies, as well as older dogs, will be accepting visitors at the bandstand area throughout the Wags,

Witches & Warlocks event, Arndt said, from 9 a.m. until “at least noon.”

Halloween is all about costumes, of course, and Wags, Witches & Warlocks is set to showcase some of the best in town, with the annual costume parade stepping off at 10 a.m. Pre-registration for parade participants is also available (and highly encouraged by Arndt and McDowell) at wagswitchesandwarlocks.com. The cost of registration for the parade is a donation of $20 for individual entrants, $40 for families or groups, or $10 per dog.

The parade will loop between Penn-

sylvania and Atlantic avenues on Garfield Parkway. Leading the Halloween revelers again this year will be bands from Indian River High School and the Southern Delaware School of the Arts, Arndt said.

Following the parade, winners in the costume contest will be announced at the bandstand. Awards will be given in the following categories: Funniest, Scariest, Cutest, Best Pet and Best Family with Pet. The overall winner will be crowned Most Original.

“When the last scene was done, we got in that car and headed home,” she said. “She missed the dogs, and she missed her horse.”

Her parents, meanwhile, are looking for a manager to help them navigate the

complicated waters of their child’s blossoming acting career. Although she’s very young, Mansour said, her daughter has a very practical outlook on all of it.

She recounted how, when she learned the production company would

buy her an outfit to wear to the New York Film Festival, she picked a riding outfit — “a really nice one,” her mom said, so she could wear it again for her equestrian competitions.

“Pretty clever,” Mansour said.

Wilkerson found guilty of killing Heacook

By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter Those who loved Delmar Police Cpl. Keith Heacook — and there were many who appreciated his easy smile and signature “Hey, buddy” — felt justice was served when the man accused of beating him to death was found guilty of 16 charges, including first-degree murder.

Randon Wilkerson was pronounced guilty on Oct. 16, in Sussex County Superior Court, of bludgeoning Heacook with his own baton and a hand-held weight, then stomping on the 54-yearold officer. He died three days later.

After Wilkerson was found guilty, Delaware Attorney General Kathleen Jennings promised he would spend the rest of his life in prison. Wilkerson is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 8.

“His face looked like it had been pulverized,” Wicomico County Sheriff Mike Lewis told the Coastal Point after attending the bench trial.

Lewis knew Heacook well and taught him at the police academy.

“Had you seen the body-worn footage, you would be screaming for the death penalty. To hear the statement of facts that was stipulated to by both the defense and the prosecution, and to hear the judge recite the facts… The defen-

dant repeatedly commented after being in custody, ‘Yeah, I killed that f-ing cop.

I beat his f-ing brains in.’ The judge, to his credit, said the full word,” Lewis said.

Wicomico County, Md., deputies also responded that evening, on April 25, 2021, after Heacook answered a call for a fight at a Delmar, Del., residence.

The night before the early morning attack on Heacook, Wilkerson had been staying at that house in Delmar, partying and celebrating his birthday, Lewis said.

“His girlfriend admitted to shooting methamphetamine into his veins, and she did it because he liked to shoot it pure and she liked to dilute it with water. He was smoking meth, and he was smoking cocaine, and he was under the influence of marijuana. It’s a given when someone is using those kinds of drugs, it always starts with marijuana,” Lewis asserted.

“The people in the house wanted to call the police because he had injected so much dope that night it turned him a raging maniac. He was going from door to door inside the house, where six other people were. He was demanding to be let into their bedrooms. Everyone was scared of him. He was punching holes in the walls of the house. He became very violent.

“There was an attempt to text the 911 center, because they were afraid he would hear them call 911. They could hear him tearing up the downstairs. He left the house and banged on the rear door of an elderly couple’s home nearby.

A 73-year-old man let him in.

“And once he let him in, he said Wilkerson could sit on the couch.

Wilkerson punched the elderly man and punched the woman, and then started beating them with a glass figurine and sent them both to a trauma center hospital, where their heads were closed with staples,” Lewis said.

Heacook had served as a Delmar officer for 22 years.

Lewis said there was no evidence to suggest Heacook was wearing a body camera when he responded. A camera was in his police cruiser but was inoperable.

“There is a trend taking place in the last several years. There has been a dramatic increase in the number of police officers being ambushed across this country, injured, maimed, disfigured or killed. A huge increase,” Lewis said.

“It concerns me greatly. And this particular issue is an issue that is discussed at every monthly sheriff ’s meeting. It’s discussed at our annual conference, at our in-service training.

What can we do to better recruit em-

ployees?” he said.

A career in law enforcement isn’t as interesting to young men and woman as it once was, because of the disrespect and danger, Lewis said, recalling having lunch with his wife at a Millsboro restaurant and talking to an employee there who said he’d like to get into law enforcement.

“I am constantly recruiting. I spent a significant amount of time with this young man to convince him it’s a great profession,” the sheriff said, adding that Heacook was just days away from retiring from the Delmar Police Department and accepting a position with the Salisbury University campus police. He wanted to be a University of Maryland system employee so his son, Matthew — who was 12 at the time — could attend college and have his tuition paid.

Heacook’s wife, Susan, in the courtroom to hear the verdict, “was crying, but she didn’t make any comment,” Lewis said.

At the funeral to honor Heacook, voicemail messages from Heacook to his wife of 22 years were played.

“Hi, baby. Just wanted to say hello. I miss you. … Have a good day at work. I love talking to a machine instead of my See WILKERSON page 9

Sea grasses create healthy ecosystems in Inland Bays

By Mike Smith Staff Reporter Submerged aquatic vegetation, or SAV, was the subject of a scientific presentation last week hosted by the Delaware Center for the Inland Bays (CIB). What used to be referred to as “seaweed” is now a vaunted underwater plant celebrated for its benefits to bays and estuaries.

“SAV meadows are an under-studied system here in Delaware, with most people familiar with them from a negative connotation, such as navigable-waters issues. However, they are an incredibly important ecosystem, with wildlife benefits, water-quality benefits and carbon sequestration services being more studied,” said Meghan Noe Fellows, director of estuary science and restoration for the CIB. Kayla Clauson, an environmental scientist with DNREC, presented her findings at the CIB’s Science & Technical Advisory Committee, or STAC, meeting.

“The STAC is responsible for identifying and prioritizing science and technical needs, and it assists in center’s efforts to raise awareness and funding resources,” according to the CIB. “The center has also conducted drone surveys in 2021 which helped

provide us with most of the information we have on submerged aquatic vegetation,” noted Clauson.

The mapping was shared at the committee meeting on Oct. 20.

“We are working with the community, with naturalists and with scientists, to see where we are viewing these plants in the bays,” said Clauson. “Those mapping efforts from CIB and earlier efforts from DNREC have helped focus our knowledge.”

“We have a list of what to expect to find, from the State, to get a historical starting point. We have 14 species of SAV plants in New Castle and Sussex counties. In the Brandywine, we found 10 of the 14 species of SAV. Usually, we find at least two species of these submerged plants,” she said.

DNREC had started SAV restoration in 2019 and is providing more grasses for planting.

“Some of the challenges are that there is no habitat suitable for hosting the seeds in some estuaries or a lack of established monitoring to follow the SAV.” In the local inland bays, there is active work on SAV. “We worked with the Town of South Bethany on rupia and widgeon grass in the canals,” said Clauson. “When the harvester came in with the spoils, we

saw this as an opportunity. We steered away from the zoestra, and decided to collect ruppia maritima and widgeon grass seeds and use them for other plantings.”

“The canals are pretty full of floating material and algae,” she noted.

“A contractor was asked to apply herbicide,” to reduce the grasses and invasive plants, “and the harvester is trying to get the macro algae out of the canals,” said Clauson. “Once the herbicide is applied, we lose some of the vegetation we want to have” for seed. “We have to differentiate between the macro-biology and the seed plants.”

The Town of South Bethany applied for some funding to do canal restoration.

“These conversations about canal restoration helped us define the goals for the SAV, and the South Bethany canal water-quality funding request did not occur because there was not an active plan to show results. The DNREC SAV Team was born out of these conversations,” said Clauson.

“For Sussex County in general, we received funding from EPA Region 3 to work on the Nanticoke and a mapping project which also included Deep Creek,” said she said. “We worked on this wetlands program with the federal government funding. It helped us get

into the direction we wanted to go. The Nanticoke and Deep Creek were surveyed by inflatable kayak, where we could monitor. We also saw ruppia in Herring Creek.”

“We also have tried to collect the reproductive shoots from ruppia maritima in the Bethany area, working with the CIB, but that collection effort was a bust,” when it did not produce seed, said Clauson.

“We need more protocols as to what should be included in an SAV survey.

The surveys we conducted at the Cow Bridge branch just north of Millsboro were successful,” she said. “We found vegetation in Cow Bridge branch.”

One of the issues is landowner access to survey in the river, versus seeing the vegetation on the floor of the river that may run through property lines, she added.

“Some property lines actually go into the river, and we needed to ask the farmers and landowners, especially around the Nanticoke, to take the survey.”

The DNREC team also had some navigational issues with downed trees.

“But in the Nanticoke, there is also a lot of promising SAV,” which were easily viewed. “For the future, we need a

How rude. Love you. Mean it, from the heart,” Heacook said playfully.

“From the beginning, he was my mother’s best friend and biggest supporter. That kind of dedication was like something you’d see in the movies. They depended on each other for love and support. Nothing and no one could come between the love they shared as man and wife.”

MSO concerts promise something for everyone The Mid-Atlantic Symphony recently announced its November concerts, Nov. 3 at 7:30 p.m. at Epworth United Methodist Church in Rehoboth Beach, Nov. 4 at 3 p.m. at the Performing Arts Center in Ocean City, Md., and Nov. 5 at 3 p.m. at the Todd Performing Arts Center in Wye Mills, Md. The concert program will showcase a repertoire including “Overture” by Elfrida Andrée, “Symphonic Variations on an African Air” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and “Symphony No. 5 (Reformation)” by Felix Mendelssohn.

Andrée was a pioneering Swedish composer and conductor who lived from 1841 to 1929. She was a significant figure in the late Romantic era and made a notable contribution to the world of classical music, particularly considering that she was a female in a male-dominated field.

One of her most well-known compositions is the “Overture in D major, Op. 43,” described as “a lively and exuberant orchestral work that reflects the spirit of the Romantic era. Written in 1873, this composition showcases Andrée’s remarkable talent as both a composer and conductor during a time when women’s contributions to classical music were even more overlooked than they are in modern times.”

The second piece of music in the concert is Samuel Coldridge-Taylor’s “Symphonic Variations on an African Air.” During his lifetime, Coleridge-Taylor was regarded as one of England’s most preeminent composers.

“Though he died very young (at only 37), the celebration of his life spanned the Atlantic, with fanfare concerts everywhere from London to Boston and beyond. In

the decades that followed, his music largely fell out of the public eye, and was extremely seldom performed. As a result, a significant amount of his music is not published today. Fortunately, his music is being performed again by major orchestras around the world.”

Concluding the concert is Felix Mendelssohn’s “Symphony No. 5,” known as his “Reformation Symphony.”

“This staple of the symphonic repertoire is a work of profound historical and musical significance which the audience will no doubt be familiar with. Composed in 1830, this symphony stands as a testament to Mendelssohn’s creativity and his deep connection to his faith and his time.

The name ‘Reformation Symphony’ reflects this symphony’s association with the 300th anniversary of the Augsburg Confession, a key event in the Protestant Ref-

ormation. It was Felix’s sister Fanny who gave the symphony its name.”

Individual tickets for this concert series cost $50 per person at each venue and are available at midatlanticsymphony.org/tickets.Tickets for the additional events are also available at that website.

The Mid-Atlantic Symphony offers a group discount for the purchase of 10 or more tickets to a single concert.The orchestra also makes a limited number of free tickets available for students 18 or younger, with tickets for accompanying parents costing $10 each. Reservations are required for the free tickets and may be made by calling 1-888-846-8600.

“Statewide, when we are thinking about water quality, the public may not always be on-board with the SAV importance,” said Clauson. “People don’t always understand what is going on in the water, so general education on this vegetation might give us more lift with landowners.”

“They’re so generous!” she said.

Trick-or-treating will continue until 1 p.m.

Stores will also be competing for Best Decorated Storefront during the day, and volunteer judges will be making their way through town to determine whose business is decked out in the most Hallowonderful fashion. Winners will be congratulated on social media and will be featured on the event website.

Obituaries Mary Black, 73 Her friends’ and siblings’ hearts are broken as they mourn the loss of their friend and sister Mary Black, 73, who passed away peacefully on Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023.

She was married to her best friend, Tony, for almost 50 years.

They lived in Downingtown, Pa., but their second home was always Bethany Beach, which was her main residence upon her retirement.

Black was a fun-loving beach girl who loved her home in Bethany Beach and snowbirding in Naples, Fla. She loved music, dancing, playing games and spending long hours at the beach. She was an avid reader who loved her books. “Her bright light and big heart left us too soon.”

She had many friends in Bethany Beach, Pennsylvania, Florida, Kentucky, and even Germany, who were her “adopted” family. She valued her family and friends, and they meant the world to her. She was an amazing woman who was loved by all and will be surely missed. “We cherish the memories and fun we had with her and she will forever be in our hearts.”

Black was preceded in death by her loving husband, Tony Black; her beloved Labs, Yogi and Kodi; and her

parents, Joseph Boughman and Dorothy (King) Boughman. She is survived by her brother Michael Boughman (and Sally); nephew Chris (and Molly); niece Courtney (and Jim) Crowley; great-nephew James; and great-nieces Emmy and Reese; brother John Boughman (and Ann); niece Lauren (and Brian) Kingsland; great-niece Gracie; niece Kiersten (and Mike) Banghart; great-nephew Hudson; great-nieces Josie and Everly; sister Kathy D’Amore; brother Joseph Boughman; sister-in-law Lisa; goddaughter and niece Rachel (and Mike) Marshall; great-niece Carly; and great-nephew Tyler. She was their “MerMer,” and she was like a grandmother to them.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Black’s name to Brookline Lab Rescue, P.O. Box 638, Warrington, PA 18976. Condolences can be sent online by visiting, www.melsonfuneralservices.com.

Sylvia Mae Fleshman, 86 Sylvia Mae Fleshman, 86, of Millsboro, Del., passed away on Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2023. She was born in Berlin, Md., on Jan. 9, 1937, to the late John and Margaret Rocker.

She retired in 1999 from Beebe

Healthcare, where she worked as a dietary supervisor for more than 20 years. After retirement, she volunteered at the Christian Storehouse in Millsboro and the Sussex Pregnancy Center in Georgetown, Del. Fleshman was an active member of Blackwater Fellowship Church.

She enjoyed attending church functions, cooking, crocheting, and spending time with her family and friends. She was a kind and loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend who will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

In addition to her parents, Fleshman was preceded in death by her first husband, Renzie Wilkerson, in 1972; her second husband, Albert Fleshman, in 2017; a young sister, D. Rocker; a son, Frank Wilkerson, in 2013; and grandsons Fhillip J. Wilkerson and James “Shorty” Wilkerson.

She is survived by three children, Burt Wilkerson (and Linda) of Snow Hill, Md.; David Wilkerson (and Loretta) of Fruitland, Md.: and Sylvia Casteel (and Greg) of Vista, Calif.; along with two brothers, John Rocker of Florida and Robert Rocker; and a sister, Linda Gray, also of Florida. She was blessed with 15 grandchildren, as well as numerous

great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends.

Services were to be private. In lieu of flowers, the family suggested donations in Fleshman’s memory to Blackwater Fellowship Church, P.O. Box 549, Frankford, DE 19945. Her life memorial webpage and online guestbook are at www.watsonfh.com.

Malachi Isaiah Gibbs Malachi Isaiah Gibbs passed away far too soon, on Oct. 7, 2023, from a very unfortunate car accident.

He worked for Food Lion and really loved that hat. He always had it with him. He graduated from Milford High School in 2018.

Gibbs was described by those who love him as funny and goofy. He didn’t need a reason to laugh or joke — all he needed was his friends and family, and one thing is certain: he had a lot of both. He had the most infectious smile and commanded attention in any room he entered.

His early years were always as a happy baby, and he did a tour of all the aunties. The cousins reminisce on using him to get out of church on See OBITS page 18

The top priority should be children’s safety The Indian River School District decided Monday night not to fund a school resource officer (SRO) position at Lord Baltimore Elementary School.

The Town of Ocean View has offered to split the costs of the SRO, and the Town has invested in training for Sgt. Rhys Bradshaw, in terms of gun-safety training and working with the students. Last year, an anonymous donor made up the difference — about $40,000, but that’s hardly a sustainable track going forward.

“This would be the only elementary school that would have an SRO” in the district, said Board Member Donald Hattier, the chair of the IRSD finance committee. “We don’t have enough money, at this time, to fund every single elementary school. It is a tough call to hire for this one building, versus all of the other elementary schools in the district.”

“They are just sticking their heels in the ground with the same old response or excuse that ‘We don’t do that in this school district,’” said Ocean View Town Manager Carol Houck. “...We are very disappointed. We are going to make another request to go before the IRSD finance committee and speak for ourselves.”

Houck added that the Lord Baltimore Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is involved in a fundraiser effort to foot the bill this school year, but that there is no clear path forward yet on next year or into the future.

This is not some luxury item we’re talking about here — it is the safety and security of this community’s children. If the District is going to spend money on anything going forward, it should be shoring up school security.That’s top priority, before all others.

Private or public funding, this must get figured out. Soon.

Cops and Goblins and Wags and Trails... Oh, my It’s often been said that there is no better time of the year than fall, particularly around here.

Mild temperatures, less-congested roads and the smell of pumpkin spice wafting in the air combine to give a sense of comfort and peace that just doesn’t exist in different times of the year. Sure, summer has warmth and beach days. Winter has an abundance of religious holidays that often bring families together. And spring comes with an exciting sense of renewal, along with the unforgettable scent of fertilizer burning Darin J. McCann nose hairs across this glorious peninsula.

“Smell of money,” they say. “Smell of poop” is more like it. Look, you can put a dress on a steaming pile of...

But I digress.

Fall is different. Kids are back in school, big people are crushing other big people on football fields, and there’s just no shame crawling into that bed early on a lazy night, because the sun’s been down for hours already. If “comfy” was a season, it would be fall — and that’s only slightly because I get to wear a hoodie almost every day.

It’s also the unofficial end to the “Summer Hibernation” that so many local people choose to partake in each busy season. You know what I’m talking about here — the restaurants, roads and beaches are so crowded that the local population tends to nest a little more. Then the crowds start to filter out a bit after schools start in neighboring states, the parking meters go away and the dawn of fall brings the masses back outside.

It’s like those disaster movies where the sun peeks out and everybody comes out of hiding, wiping their eyes and taking in the environment around them. Only, in this example, people were squirreled away against crowds, instead of a meteor the size of Kansas carrying crack-fueled, machine-gun-toting monkeys careening towards the planet.

So, it’s a little different, but you get my point, right?

Regardless, here we are. The greatest time of the year is now upon us, we are starting to see familiar faces again when we go out to eat and live our respective lives. Weekend events have not only elevated “shoulder season” by bringing people into town for a few days at a time, but they also serve the purpose of uniting people who haven’t seen each other much since, say, April.

These past two weeks have seen a plethora of fall events, from festivals to trick-or-treating to the always-amazing Whimsical Woods event at Lord’s Landscaping. As I’m wrap-

ping this up on Wednesday, there are still six days left until Halloween actually lands, and my daughter has already accumulated close to the weight of a monkey-carrying meteor in candy.

Which, if we’re being honest, means more Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups have entered my home, which, obviously, means I am going to eat them. Every last one of them.

I mean, the kid has to learn about paying taxes at some point, right?

And there will be plenty more taxes for her to pay this weekend, as we are set to embark on a day I’m guessing many of you parents have already lined up, as well.

Saturday morning will start with the Wags, Witches & Warlocks event in downtown Bethany Beach, which has become one of my family’s most favorite now-traditions of the year. The pet parade that kicks off at 10 a.m. on Garfield Parkway is filled with laughs and “awws” as each costumed pooch saunters by, and my daughter begs me to adopt just about every adorable canine brought to the event by the Brandywine Valley SPCA. After the parade, shop and restaurant owners downtown graciously open their doors for Reese’s Pean... I mean, trick-ortreating, and we usually find a quick bite to eat before leaving town.

Because we have places to go, folks.

The popular Cops & Goblins event then takes center stage for the McCanns from 1 to 4 p.m., and if you haven’t been to this, go to this. It is an amazing example of the benefits of “community policing” as the Ocean View Police Department pours their heart and soul into this wonderful event, and kids get to mingle with our heroes in blue while trick-or-treating from some local organizations and businesses. There will also be a costume contest, pony rides, a petting zoo, bounce houses, free food and, quite possibly, one or more parents losing their collective minds as sugar-fueled kids don’t know which way to turn next.

It’s me. It’s usually me losing my mind.

And we’re not done yet. Starting at 3 p.m., just down the road, will be Millville’s Trail of Treats at Evans Park. More than 20 businesses and individuals have already signed up to offer more treats to our costumed youth, and there will be a pumpkin patch, pumpkin decorating, food trucks, games and prizes.

Evans Park is pretty darned awesome on a regular day. Just imagine it bustling with happy kids and chocolate-stained dads.

It’s me. I’ll be the chocolate-stained dad.

Letters HB186 a gift to our children Editor: Kudos to our legislators for passing HB186 during Delaware’s 2023 legislative session and to Gov. Carney for signing the bill into law. HB186 will provide pathways off the Sexual Offender Registry for our children. It is important for Delawareans to know that the multitude of sexual offense laws in our state apply to every single person regardless of age or gender. No one is exempt.

The most recent publicly available statistic, from 2011, shows 639 children on Delaware’s Sexual Offender Registry, 55 of whom were under the age of 12 (https://www.narsol.org/2018/06/howmany-kids-are-on-the-sex-offenderregistry/). Sadly, the growing body of over-reaching, all-inclusive sexual offense laws (11 Del. Code, Chapter 41, Subchapter III §4121) meant to protect our children can potentially cause them great harm. A child of almost any age may be adjudicated as a sexual offender.

Once on the registry, the anonymity of a child is often compromised, resulting in their being bullied, physically attacked by their peers, or worse. In some cases, the entire family may be harassed

(https://magazine.jhsph.edu/2022/harm s-placing-kids-sex-offender-registries).

For some offenses, Delaware children are sent out of state to juvenile detention facilities, exposing them to “hardened” juveniles who often prey upon them. These children, often now traumatized themselves, are returned to Delaware at age 18 and placed on the public accessible registry as an adult and assigned as a Tier II registered sexual offender (for 25 years) or Tier III (for life). This, for a “crime” committed as a child.

Delaware’s sexual offender registry is publicly available. In addition, registrants’ employers, landlords, neighbors and schools are notified by law enforcement (11 De Code Chapter 41 Subchapter III §4121). The ostracism toward those who “wear” the label “sexual offender” creates high levels of joblessness, homelessness and exclusion from educational opportunities (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1359178917301325).

It negates opportunities for rehabilitation, restoration, and redemption. Registrants’ families suffer collateral damage as well, by being threatened, harassed and having their property vandalized (https://womenagainstregistry.org/resources/pdf/Collateral-Damage-Family-Members-of-Registered-Sex-Offen

It is incumbent for everyone, especially parents, to acquaint themselves with the many sexual offense laws in our state. An act that may be seem innocent, such as consensual touching, may be punishable as a sexual offense.

Protect your children from the laws that are meant to protect them, as they may become victims of those very laws.

Margaret Hawkins Newark

Reader: Ordinance is destruction machine Editor: I feel blindsided by Sussex County’s proposed Master Planned Zoning (MPZ) ordinance. MPZ is a new zoning district that, after a much simpler front-end approval process, would give massive flexibility to big developers to reign over large developments of 200plus acres for 20 years or longer.

The MPZ ordinance draft begins with the great purpose and intent: • Walkable, bikeable and pedestrianfriendly, economically viable, professional, commercial and mixed-use neighborhood; • Superior in design to a standard residential subdivision, commercial site plan or combination of both; • Preserve and enhance the natural landscape and buffer the development from adverse external influences.

Who would not love such a community?

The problem is that the ordinance departs quickly from its stated purpose and intent. It creates numerous issues and loopholes for exploitation and litigations.

For one, it was shocking that MPZ,

while allowing 12 units per acre throughout the parcel, requires only 10 percent open space. As if that is not bad enough, if public lands are included in the MPZ — for whatever reasons I cannot fathom — the public lands could count toward the 10 percent requirement.

Can you picture what a 10 percent open space for 200-plus acres looks like?

In comparison, cluster subdivisions with 2 units per acre require 30 percent, but developers often claim to preserve 50 percent open space. While workforce housing developers are given the gifts to build up to 12 units per acre with 50 percent open space, they, in return, have to allocate 25 percent of the units at lower rental rates to satisfy the Sussex County Rental Program (SCRP). So, why should the big developers be allowed to pack huge parcels with 12 units per acre, preserving only 10 percent as open space?

Vince Robertson, the County’s assistant attorney, has presented about MPZ to the council and Planning & Zoning (P&Z) at least four times since December 2022. I never heard him mention the 10 percent minimum open space requirement. Worse yet, the two different sample site plans he included in his presentations show about 30 percent open space, misleading the public into believing that is what an MPZ would look like.

It takes reading the 17-page ordinance draft to discover the meager 10 percent open space requirement, which will destroy Sussex County’s natural landscape and environmental assets like nothing else we have seen.

This is one of the many problems in this ordinance. Why can’t the public rely on the County officials and lawyers to

Guest Column

A salute to Lady Liberty on her big day

By Jerry Hardiman Special to the Coastal Point Oct. 28 is the 137th anniversary of the dedication of the Statue of Liberty

by President Grover Cleveland on Bedloe’s Island in New York harbor in 1886.

A gift from the people of France, paid for with their donations, she has become a powerful symbol of America as a land of welcome, refuge and hope for a better life.

In their book titled “Lady Liberty,” Luce Lebart and Sam Stourdzè tell the story of the creation and construction of the statue. It started with the inspiration of French historian Edouard de Laboulaye in 1865 to create a statue for the United States celebrating democracy and the friendship of our two countries.

The sculptor Frederic-August Bartholdi created the design for the statue, to be titled “Liberty Enlightening the World,” depicting a woman holding a torch aloft in her right hand and a tablet inscribed with “4th July 1776” held in her left. It is said that Bartholdi modeled the obvious strength and resolute expression of Liberty on his mother. (Probably a wise choice in the Bartholdi family.)

Because of various delays, work on construction did not begin until 1875.

Bartholdi created the statue in sections out of sheets of hammered copper to be wrapped around a skeleton of light iron and steel designed by Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, designer of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Lady Liberty was constructed and assembled piece-by-piece in Paris over several years.

Upon completion in 1885, the statue was about 150 feet high and weighed more than 200 tons. It was then dissembled, packed in more than 200 crates and shipped to New York. Work on a large pedestal, paid for by American donations, was finally completed in 1886.

Workers then uncrated, reassembled and over four months rebuilt the statue on the pedestal, to stand majestically overlooking the harbor at a height of more than 300 feet.

More meaningful than the history of the creation and construction of the statue is the dramatic impact this beautiful gift of the French people has had.

Lady Liberty welcomed millions of immigrants arriving at nearby Ellis Island from 1886 to 1954, where they were screened and processed before being permitted to enter the United States.

She was the first sight of their new home.

Even after Ellis Island closed, immigrants continued to enter through New York. A good friend of ours arrived

there when he was a young boy, as a refugee from Hungary after the Russians crushed the Hungarian revolution and their hope for freedom in 1956.

Years later, he still remembered, with tears in his eyes, seeing Lady Liberty when his family arrived safely in New York harbor and what it meant to them.

For our friend Rudy and all those millions of other immigrants fleeing war, persecution and poverty, there is a famous poem by Emma Lazarus engraved on a bronze plaque at the entrance to a small museum in the base of the pedestal. The words are still inspiring.

Give me your tired, your poor Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest tossed to me.

I lift my lamp beside the golden door.

In addition to all those immigrants, including some of our own, Lady Liberty has welcomed home countless thousands of American travelers from foreign lands. Perhaps even more emotional, she was a beautiful sight to see for all those soldiers returning on troop ships after the end of World Wars I and

II in Europe.

In just one story, President Harry Truman once recalled that, as a young Army captain returning on a ship from France after World War I, even the most hard-bitten veterans were blinking back their tears when they saw that beautiful “Liberty Lady.”

And so it has been for 137 years now.

Bedloe’s Island is now named Liberty Island.Together with Ellis Island, it is now part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument cared for by the National Park Service. And Lady Liberty still stands tall for the Land of the Free and all that’s best in America. Happy anniversary.

Letters Continued from page 14 protect and preserve the future of Sussex County?

Office of State Planning Coordination and DNREC reviewed the ordinance draft and gave many comments, but P&Z largely ignored them, especially environmental comments. Also, in conflict with their comments not to permit MPZ in AR-1 or where land should be preserved, P&Z recommended expanding MPZ areas to virtually anywhere in Sussex.

This massive destruction machine is mocking Sussex residents working on reviewing the County’s subdivision design criteria to preserve trees, wetlands, buffers, etc. I can picture bulldozers ready to roar at the ‘Ready, set, go!’ to mow down any large vacant lands in Sussex.

Since I am permitted to submit only

one letter of about 500 words to newspapers monthly, I hope other residents will submit their letters covering other issues.

Please try to understand the destructive impact of the Master Planned Zoning ordinance and send your comments to pandz@sussexcountyde.gov by Oct. 31, Tuesday, 4:30 p.m..

Eul Lee Angola Editor’s note: The Coastal Point has no formal limit on letters to the editor beyond a maximum of one letter per issue and of reasonable size to be published in a given week’s issue.

Reader fears park will draw out-of-towners

Editor: Dear neighbors — hopefully, you have read last week’s article about the proposed Master Plan for Evans Park in Millville.

While we are thankful and appreci-

ate all that has been done so far, this proposed plan is way over the top for our town. The proposed splash park is very large and would attract many outof-town visitors eager to take advantage of a free water park for their children.

Our town and our park would be overwhelmed with these out-of-town visitors. The continuing operational expenses for such an attraction (replete with a large sized sailboat and water guns) are quite high.

I am not opposed to park enhancements, but these should be limited to those that best benefit our residents.

Please make your voice heard. You can contact our town hall at https://millville.delaware.gov. Just click on the “contact” tab at the bottom of the screen. You can also write to our town manager as shown in last week’s Coastal Point.

Reader asks why alcohol isn’t banned Editor: As towns in Sussex County continue to ban the use of recreational cannabis to adults, it makes me wonder whether the many large liquor stores (each one claiming to be the biggest) will also be banned and/or closed up.

I suspect not!

The negative effects of alcohol abuse are well-documented. It seems absurd that as an adult I can purchase literally gallons of booze at one of these many establishments but not a single edible or vape. After all, there’s no such thing as “medical alcohol.”

Nicholas Sinisi Selbyville

Reader supports Davis for office Editor: For the past five years, Sussex County has had one of its own as our Delaware State Treasurer. My family and I have known Colleen Davis and her family for many years. We lived in the same Millville neighborhood for years and still know her as members of St. Ann’s church in Bethany Beach.

As Delaware’s state treasurer, Colleen has implemented a program for low-income residents called Delaware Earns.

This program enables our citizens, with no banking experience — the disabled, economically most vulnerable and retirees on a fixed income — to thrive financially. We are a small state with a diverse population, and Colleen’s programs have benefitted us all.

I am confident in my endorsement of Colleen Davis for our House of Representatives delegate in November 2024.

Our state will benefit from her experience as our state treasurer, the mom of three children, wife and lifelong resident of Sussex County. Please join me in endorsing and supporting Collen for Delaware’s United States House of Representatives delegate in 2024.

Post 7234 hosting K-6 STEM Fair set for Nov. 4 in Lewes VFW youth essay contest The Sussex County STEM Alliance will host its second annual STEM fair on Saturday, Nov. 4, at the Lewes Public Library, 111 Adams Avenue in Lewes. Judging will begin at 3 p.m., with the awards ceremony at 4:15 p.m.

The fair is designed to encourage students to experience hands-on STEM learning in a fun way while developing their critical thinking and scientific process skills.

The STEM Fair provides an opportunity for students in kindergarten through sixth grade to explore various aspects of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Students will exhibit across five STEM categories, including Physical Science, Life Science, Earth & Space, Engineering & Math, and Computer & Robotics.

The free event is open to all stu-

dents, grades K-6, attending a public, private, home or alternative school in Sussex County. Projects will be judged by local STEM professionals, and all participants will be recognized for their efforts, with exceptional entries awarded prizes.

The Sussex County K-6 STEM Fair is brought to Sussex County through the partnership and collaboration of the Sussex County STEM Alliance and the Lewes Public Library, and through a grant funded by Delmarva Exelon Power.

Established in 2017, the Sussex County STEM Alliance primary mission is to position Sussex County to be among the national leaders in building STEM awareness, advocacy, and advancement. Events such as the Engineering Your Tomorrow, which has

impacted more than 110 children and their parents since 2018, aims to help raise the awareness of encouraging women of all ages to pursue and foster a STEM career here within our local community.

The Sussex County STEM Alliance Inc. is a private, nonprofit 501(c)3 Delaware corporation. It is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, composed of business and community leaders. Its board meets monthly and hosts regular member meetings to connect with local educators, parents, business leaders, and community members to identify key ways to enhance and enrich STEM throughout Sussex County.

The clouds and bright sun align to create a powerful landscape in artist Dale Sheldon’s acrylic “Clouds at Stonehenge.”

The very nature of clouds themselves is an illusion, as Ray Ewing points out in his description for his oil painting “Beach Bocce Boys.”

“Clouds are water droplets that function as a prism reflecting the spectrum of colors. Ever shifting with the wind, the clouds form many shapes that evoke the imagination.”

“Whenever we look at a flat surface (a TV screen or photograph) and assume we are looking at spaces and objects that have depth, we are accepting a set of visual signals that create an ‘illusion’ of three-dimensional space,” organizers said.

“By that definition, all painting is at its core an illusion.This month at Gallery One, clouds are the masters of illusion. Is

it a cloud or is it a duck? Is it an illusion or is it artistic license (which allows artists to distort facts, change rules or omit details to improve their work)? Or both?”

For artist Cindy Beyer in her acrylic painting “Duckies!!!,” it is both.

“How many of us have laid on our backs on a sunny afternoon staring up at the sky and imagined (sworn) that the cloud floating by looked like a… fill-inthe-blank. ‘Yesterday, the sky was filled with whipped cream, and the previous

day it looked as if Thor and his friends were playing paintball!’” is how.”

Joyce Condry described the illusions created by “her” local clouds in her acrylic painting “Looking East.”

For artist Laura Hickman in her pastel “Sunrise, Garfield Parkway,” the beauty and complexity of the clouds themselves suggest an illusion.

“This sunrise looks as if an artist has painted strokes of violet paint over the yellow-orange paint representing the sun

Stevenson to speak at LWV gathering & Package

Wines, Beer, Spirits, Cocktails & Seltzers

Seeking insight into the workings of the Sussex County Planning & Zoning Commission, the League of Women Voters of Sussex County Delaware (LWVSCDE) will host Kim Hoey Stevenson at its “League, Libations and Learning” gathering, from 5 to 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 14, at the Iron Hill Brewery in Rehoboth Beach.

Stevenson will share her insights and reflections from six years of service as vicechair of the Sussex County Planning & Zoning Commission. Anyone interested in an insider’s view is welcome to attend.

“Sussex County citizens are increasingly vocal in their concerns about the critical lack of affordable housing despite seemingly uncontrolled development countywide,” said LWVSCDE President Martha

Rothenberg. “The Sussex County Council needs to develop innovative approaches to meet these challenges. We believe that the insights and recommendations from Kim Stevenson’s years of public service can help council members find solutions to these issues.”

Prior to her appointment to the county commission, Stevenson served as vice-chair of the Milford Planning Commission. An award-winning writer and journalist, she is a Delaware native, currently living in Lewes. As a journalist, she has written for Reuters, Gannett, the Associated Press, Parade magazine and Delaware Beach Life magazine.

Having traveled extensively, both personally and professionally, she was in Somalia during Operation Restore Hope to

cover the changeover from U.S. to United Nations forces and what Delawareans were doing as part of those efforts.

Stevenson has recently been named the 2023 Delaware Division of the Arts Emerging Artist for Literature: Fiction. A graduate of Wake Forest University, she drew on her degree in psychology to coauthor the book, “Overcoming Misfortune: Children Who Beat the Odds.” She is also the mentor coordinator for the Cape Henlopen School District.

Stevenson’s presentation will follow dinner with separate checks. Participants will have ample time for questions and discussion. Seating is limited, and pre-registration is required. Go to sussexlwv.org to register or for more information about LWVSCDE.

is more to the illusion. Sunlight is composed of all the colors of the rainbow, as the sun dips down over the horizon, sunlight passes through a thicker layer of the atmosphere compared to daytime.This causes the blue light that is dominant during the day to be scattered away from our eyes, allowing redder and orange light to pass through.The essence of a beautiful sunset is held in the cloud layer, specifically the clouds at the upper and lower levels, and their ability to reflect colors back to the ground.”

This effect is illustrated this month by

artists Rina Thaler and Lesley McCaskill.

“I am always attracted to brightly colored skies, but this one took my breath away,” wrote Thaler about her watercolor painting “Cloud Illusions.”“The weight of the clouds reflecting on the water added depth and drama to the scene.”

In McCaskill’s acrylic painting “Day is Done,” the ribbons of color reflecting from the sky to the water, and back to the boat’s sail create a dramatic composition filled with vibrant color.

Gallery One is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily this month.

Delaware Watersheds Photo Contest opens for entries DNREC is again inviting photographers of all ages and skill levels to submit their best shots and to participate in the Delaware Watersheds Photo Contest. Hosted by the DNREC Division of Watershed Stewardship, the contest is designed to share the beauty of Delaware’s diverse environment while acting as a vivid reminder that everything that happens on land directly affects what happens in the waterways.

A watershed is land that water moves across or under while flowing to a specific body of water. Every acre of land and body of water in Delaware is part of a watershed. And the contest lens for focusing on watersheds has widened — unlike previous Delaware Watersheds Photo Contests, this year there is no restriction or limitation on where photos can be taken, meaning images associated with any of the 45 watersheds in the state will be accepted. The 2023 contest opens online for entries Friday, Oct. 13, and closes Friday, Nov. 10.

“The watersheds contest continues to challenge photographers to capture the unique beauty and functionality of Delaware’s watersheds,” said DNREC Secretary Shawn M. Garvin. “What better way of promoting the roles watersheds play in improving water quality and helping to manage precious water resources — both under threat due to impacts of climate change on our state.

What we want to see in these photos is the outsize importance watersheds have — and have always had, but now more than ever — here in the second smallest and lowest-lying state.”

A panel of judges consisting of a photographer, an educator and a scientist from DNREC staff will be looking for striking photographic images of Delaware’s waterways, landscapes, sustainable watershed practices, native plants and animals and agricultural practices. The judging panel will determine the finalists whose work will be posted on the DNREC website, with the winning photograph to be chosen by public voting through the DNREC Division of Watershed Stewardship Facebook page.

The winner will receive a prize pack including a $250 Visa gift card, a 2023 Delaware State Parks annual pass, a print of the winning photograph, and a certificate signed by Gov. John Carney and DNREC Secretary Shawn M. Garvin. The winning photo also will be published in Outdoor Delaware, DNREC’s online magazine, at de.gov/outdoordelaware.

To enter the Delaware Watersheds Photo Contest, use the online submission form at de.gov/watershed. To learn more about Delaware watersheds and how to benefit them, go to de.gov/howyoucanhelpwetlands.

Indie icons to have films screened at 25th Silver Screen Anniversary festival This year’s 25th Silver Screen Anniversary of the Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival (RBIFF) will once again celebrate independent cinema from around the world.

For this year’s RBIFF, the Rehoboth Beach Film Society will spotlight three filmmakers and recognize them as “Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival Independent Visionaries” for their lifelong commitment to independent film. Each of them will have a new film screened at this year’s RBIFF, Nov. 8-12 at the Cinema Art Theater in Lewes.

“We are truly excited and honored that we are able to share the films of these extraordinary Independent Visionaries with our audience for this year’s special 25th Silver Screen Anniversary Re-

hoboth Beach Independent Film Festival,” said Helen M. Chamberlin, Rehoboth Beach Film Society executive director, “Although Diane Ladd is unable to travel to screen her latest film, ‘Isle of Hope,’ we hope everyone gets a chance to see their films and be inspired by them to support independent film and the talented artists that create them.”

Those being recognized include: • Diane Ladd — Ladd, actress/writer/director/author, is a winner of more than 57 international awards, including the British Academy Award, Golden Globe Award, Independent Spirit Film Award and the Cannes’ Palme d’or Award. She has been nominated for three Emmy Awards and three Academy Awards for the films

“Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore,” “Wild at Heart” and “Rambling Rose.” In “Rambling Rose,” she and her daughter, Laura Dern, in tandem, made show business history as the first mother/daughter duo to earn nominations for the same film.

Ladd’s latest film, “Isle of Hope,” will screen on Wednesday, Nov. 8, as the Opening Night film for this year’s Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival.

• Luis Guzmán — Guzmán is an American actor/writer/producer whose 40-year career includes having appeared in more than 100 films and television shows. Born in Puerto Rico, Guzmán was raised in New York City’s Greenwich Village and the surrounding Lower East Side neighborhood. He began his career as a social worker moonlighting as an actor, eventually becoming heavily involved in street theater and independent films. He is a favorite of director Steven Soderbergh, who cast him in “Out of Sight,” “The Limey” and “Traffic,” as well as director Paul Thomas Anderson, who cast him in “Boogie Nights,” “Magnolia” and “PunchDrunk Love.” Guzmán’s new film, “Story Ave,” in which he stars and which he executive produced, will

screen on Friday, Nov. 10.

• Ken Loach — Loach is a British film and television director, and is considered the UK’s foremost political filmmaker. He made his feature film debut with “Poor Cow” in 1967. Two years later, he directed “Kes,” which is now considered one of the most significant and important films ever made in Great Britain. His distinctive films, often focused on socially marginalized communities and labor rights, have earned him worldwide acclaim. Two of his recent films, “The Wind That Shakes the Barley” (2006) and “I, Daniel Blake” (2016), both won the prestigious Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, making him one of only nine filmmakers to win the award twice. Loach’s latest film, the critically acclaimed “The Old Oak,” will screen on Wednesday, Nov. 8, during the festival.

At this year’s RBIFF, audiences can see 22 film titles (documentaries, features and international films) over five days at the Society’s Cinema Art Theater. Member tickets are on sale now, and General Admission tickets were set to be available by mid-October. Sign up at rehobothfilm.com to receive regular updates.

Ocean Waves Quilt Guild to host Marketplace Sale On Saturday, Nov. 11, the Ocean Waves Quilt Guild Inc. (OWQG) will hold a Marketplace Sale at the Lewes Library, 111 Adams Avenue., Lewes, from 2 to 6 p.m., in the lobby conference room.

The sale will feature quilts, fabric and notions, quilting books and patterns, and craft items.

Additionally, patriotic quilts and community service items will be on display so that the public can see firsthand all the work the guild does. Proceeds from the sale will be used for the guild’s community service projects.

“Our members believe in giving back to our community,” representatives said.

“At least one guild meeting each year is set aside as a ‘sew-in,’ where members gather to work on the items the guild donates.

Throughout the remainder of the year, OWQG members, as well as other individuals from outside the guild, contribute fabric, their time and their talents in smaller groups or individually to sew these items.”

The guild sews patriotic quilts and donates them to Quilts of Valor for members of the military and veterans in recognition of their service.Teddy bears made of red, white and blue fabric are given to children attending the Transfer Ceremony at Dover Air Force Base for a fallen family member.

First-responders and hospital emergency rooms receive teddy bears made from juvenile fabric to comfort children during difficult situations.

Pillowcases are given to children and adult inpatients at local hospitals and those undergoing infusion treatments.

Heart pillows are sewn for patients receiving treatment for breast cancer at Beebe Healthcare and to the Cancer Support Community of Delaware. Infant burial gowns, made from donated bridal gowns, are distributed to Christiana Cares and A. I. DuPont Children’s Hospital. Numerous quilts are sewn for newborns, older children and adults at local hospitals, shelters and other organizations.

The guild, with a current membership of 250 members, was organized in 1997 for the primary purpose of increasing members’ knowledge of quilting and supporting the needs of the community by sewing and donating items to various charities and organizations.To financially support the guild’s education and community service mission, the guild organizes various fundraisers, including the biennial Quilt Show that was held this year in April at Sussex Academy, where more than 1,700 individuals attended to view 350 quilts and be educated about this form of textile art.

The guild meets once a month at Conley’s United Methodist Church, 33106 Jolyns Way, Lewes, from 10 a.m. to noon.

The guild welcomes anyone interested and encourages individuals to become an active member. For additional information, visit https://www.oceanwavesquiltguild.org/.

Gov. Carney signs proclamation declaring Oct. Breast Cancer Awareness Month Gov. John Carney and Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long signed a proclamation on Oct. 10, declaring October 2023 as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in Delaware.

As stated in the proclamation, breast cancer impacts many individuals and families throughout Delaware and the nation. It is estimated that there will be 287,850 new cases of breast cancer diagnosed in the United States in 2023.

The Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition was recognized in the document for its work in collaboration with other local health organizations to provide people with breast cancer screening and treatment services.

The governor also highlighted the strength of breast cancer survivors and those currently fighting the disease and honored those who have lost their battle with breast cancer.

“October is a reminder to be proactive about your health and get screened for

breast cancer,” DBCC representatives said.

“One in eight women will experience a breast cancer diagnosis in her lifetime. Don’t forget — men can also get breast cancer!

Anyone who has breast tissue is susceptible to the disease, though it is more commonly diagnosed in women. For men, the lifetime risk of breast cancer is one in 833.

“One simple action everyone can take this month is to remind their loved ones to schedule routine mammograms and prioritize their health. Early detection saves lives.

When breast cancer is diagnosed early, better treatment options are available and there is a better chance of survival.”

The Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition hosts events and participates in many partnerships during the month of October. Visit https://debreastcancer.org/dbccevents/dbcc-calendar/ to view upcoming events and partnerships.

People can also help someone receive

vital survivor programs and mammography navigation.

One breast cancer survivor, Heather Rowe, said, “The hardest part for me of all of this has been not really being able to connect with my friends and family and for them to not be able to understand what I was going through. Knowing that there’s a group of brave, strong women who have been through this before me that I can lean on if I need to has been a huge saving grace for me.”

Survivor support services provided Rowe with people to lean on who fully understood her situation.Those who would like to donate to DBCC and support other survivors can visit https://give.debreastcancer.org/ge/fallappeal.

Lions kick off fall with ghost stories, s’mores and goats Several members of the Lord Baltimore Lions Club (Bethany Beach, Dagsboro, Frankford, Millville and Ocean View) kicked off the fall season with an evening at Donna’s Goat Farm near Frankford, complete with bonfire and plenty of goats. Together with their new furry friends, they shared ghost stories and thoughts about what makes this country great.

Popcorn, s’mores, other snacks and beverages were shared by all as they basked in the glow of the evening firelight.

Donna’s Goat Farm, located near Camp Barnes and the Miller Neck portion of Assawoman Wildlife Area near Frankford was the perfect location for bonfire evenings, organizers said: pitch black darkness with little light pollution, surrounded by woods and creatures of the night.

“Well, the goats are there too!

Many, many goats — 35 at last count, according to Donna and Dave Freeland, who hosted the night’s activity. Goats of all ages and sizes were in abundance. Wilbur the pig even made an appearance, not to let this 400-pound beauty go unnoticed.

One particular goat, Charlie, who took a persistent interest in joining the group was eventually made an honorary member of the Lord Balti-

It was the farm’s initial bonfire of the fall season. Donna Freeland, along with her late husband, William Zinszer, has owned the farm for 30 years now. Recently remarried to one

of her volunteers, Dave Freeland, together they have been hosting Friday-night bonfires for local groups, charities and the community for the past two years. Groups that are interested can contact Donna Freeland at

dmzinsz@yahoo.com.

The Lord Baltimore Lions Club has been active in the community since 1946 and is part of the Lions Club International, the world’s largest service organization. Its mission is “to create and foster a spirit of understanding among all people for humanitarian needs by providing voluntary service through community involvement.”

For more than 75 years the Lord Baltimore Lions Club has been doing just that — service through community involvement. Services include but are not limited to assisting in community food banks, providing medical equipment to those in need, support to Special Olympics, collecting and recycling eyewear, support to Leader Dogs for the Blind, disaster relief through Lions Club International, community and beach cleanup projects. A unique attribute of Lions Clubs is that all funds received from fundraisers go directly back into the community.

Anyone interested in becoming a Lion and assisting in strengthening the community can contact the LBLC at www.lordbaltimorelionsclub.org.

“This is definitely due, in large part, to our fortunate geographical location and our beautiful 5 Star beaches — but it’s also the result of a lot of initiative, creativity, planning and hard work by the many people and organizations who strive to keep up with changing travel trends and to create and provide the types of attractions, events, activities, and services that drive visitors to Sussex County.”

IRHS hosts scholarship fair for funding college

By Mike Smith Staff Reporter

ships), the Delaware Community Foundation, the Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice and the Delaware State Police.

“Last year, the Lord Baltimore Women’s Club also donated a total of $9,500 across several scholarships,” said Hockman.

He said that he motivated students to attend the scholarship fair by creating a quiz about “fun facts” on scholarship programs and provided a Chick-fil-A gift card, donated from the restaurant in Millsboro, as an incentive for the best answers.

“This week, across the State of Delaware, has been part of ‘Launch into Your Future Month,’” said Hockman. “It has been focused on the college-oriented part of student futures.”

He said he had representatives of eight colleges come to the high school for student visits last week, including Salisbury University, Del-Tech, Delaware State University and UMES on Maryland’s Eastern Shore on the first day.

Nate Hayman, a senior at Indian River, said the exposure to these opportunities would help him kickstart his college applications process.

“It is very helpful. I am going through the college search, and it’s helpful to get some hands-on experience here,” said Hay-

The reason cited to host last week’s scholarship fair early in the school year, according to Indian River High School Career & College Counselor Greg Hockman, is to ensure students start early in their search and complete funding applications before the spring-semester rush.

“The whole idea is to give kids access to opportunity,” said the counselor. “We want our students to have exposure to these financial and service scholarships throughout the year so that we are not ‘cramming for the test’ at the end of their senior year,” said Hockman.

The five organizations that exhibited and distributed applications at tabletop displays in the IRHS cafeteria spoke with IR students during their three lunch rotations.

They included: the Ball 4 All foundation, the Quiet Resorts Charitable Foundation (QRCF) (offering two different scholarCoastal Point • Mike Smith

Sussex Academy High School Theatre is set to present “Carrie: The Musical” on Friday, Oct. 27, and Saturday, Oct. 28. There will be evening performances on both days at 7 p.m., and a matinée performance at 2 p.m. on Oct. 28. This is the school’s first production of the school year.

“Carrie: The Musical,” is described as “a chilling stage adaptation of Stephen King’s 1974 horror novel,” with music by Michael Gore, a book by Lawrence D. Cohen, and lyrics by Dean Pitchford. The story follows Carrie White, a teenage outcast who longs to fit in. “At school, she’s bullied by the popular crowd and virtually invisible to everyone else. At home, she’s dominated by her loving but cruelly controlling mother. What none of them know is that Carrie’s just discovered she’s got a special power, and if pushed too far, she’s not afraid to use it.”

The “Carrie” cast stars sophomore Abby Whitcomb as Carrie White, senior Erin Morgan as Margaret White and junior Alex DeEmedio as Sue Snell. It also features junior Brianna Wittman as Chris Hargensen, sophomore Carter Huffman as Tommy L Ross, junior Zach Burger as Billy Nolan, senior Finn Sheridan as S Gardner and senior Nick DoMiss nati as Mr. Stevens. Junior Aidan Wiggins, freshman Stella Carmen, sophomore Leni Kuska, junior Caroline Carlisle, sophomore Chase Reynolds, senior Marco Perez-Gonzalez, sophomore Gio Porfido, junior Melvin Harmon and senior Ella Hovermale are among the show’s featured ensemble. In total, more than 50 students have been involved with the show’s production, both on stage and behind the scenes.

“Carrie: The Musical” tackles the supernatural and features special effects that include unsettling sound effects, moving objects without anyone visibly touching them, and even stage blood. The cast and crew said they are most excited for audiences to see the show’s choreography, as well as the petrifying destruction scene.

“Carrie: The Musical” contains vulgar language, strong themes of bullying and mild violence. Parents should use discretion. Tickets for “Carrie: The Musical” cost $10 for adults or $5 for students, and may be purchased at the door or online at showtix4u.com. There will be one 15-minute intermission at which snacks and drinks will be sold. Sussex Academy is located at 21150 Airport Road in Georgetown.

Obits Continued from page A61 medals, including the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, for his time in Korea. After his honorable discharge, he committed 42 years of his career in the structural steel fabrication industry until his retirement in 2012.

His keen sense of humor, charming wit and creative thought carried him through this life, with a love for music and dancing, and a passionate support of anything Baltimore Ravens- or Maryland Terrapin-related.

Lowe was preceded in death by his father, Thomas Ginneman Lowe; his mother, Susan Frances Lowe; and his sister, Lynda McMorrow. He is survived by his daughters Kathy Lowe Hard (and Thomas) and Victoria Lowe; and son T.J. Lowe (and Emilee); nine grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.

A celebration-of-life gathering will be planned at a later date, with the family to share details in the coming days. The family requested that those who wish to express sympathy consider making a donation to the American Legion.

Ronnie Dale Mitchem Ronnie Dale Mitchem, 56, passed away on Monday, Oct. 16, 2023.

Born in Laurel, Md., he was the son of Larry Mitchem and the late Lucille Marie (Belcher) Mitchem.

He was a master plumber and would be the first to say, “I plumbed that house.” He enjoyed bass fishing, riding dirt bikes, NASCAR, football and the great outdoors, and loved his little dogs, especially Gizmo. He was extremely kindhearted, always willing to lend a helping hand, and if he didn’t know how to fix it, he would figure it out. He loved his daughters and was always there for them with great advice.

Mitchem was preceded in death by his mother, Lucille, and sister, Sheila. He is survived by his daughters, Jessica Sealey (and Shondel) and Leah Bowler (and Ryan); his two grandchildren, Keigan and Arabella Sealey; nieces and nephews, Crystal Baldwin, Aubree Jane Cobo, Spencer and Cohen; his brother, Anthony Mitchem; and his girlfriend, Dawn Ward.

A funeral service was planned on Tuesday, Oct. 24, 2023, at the Watson Funeral Home & Crematorium, 211 S. Washington St., Millsboro, Del. Interment was to be private. In lieu of flowers, the family said they would be honored for trees to be planted in his name (Plant a Tree Gift - Memorial Trees - Plant a Tree in a National Forest alivingtribute.org).

Jean Ann ‘Jeanie’ Sullivan, 80 Jean Ann “Jeanie” Sullivan, 80, residing in The Villages, Fla., passed away on Sunday morning, Sept. 24, 2023, at Generations Senior Living, after a long 20-year battle with Parkinson’s disease, with her family surrounding her in love. She was born on March 11, 1943, grew up in Johnstown, Pa., and graduated from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania. It was at IUP that she met, and soon married, her love and lifelong friend, Thomas Sullivan. They went on to have two devoted children, Dennis and Maureen.

Sullivan and her family spent 35 years in Reisterstown, Md., where she enjoyed being a teacher for grades 4, 5 and 6. While teaching, she attended Western Maryland College, obtaining her master’s degree in special education.

Tom and Jeanie Sullivan retired to Bethany Beach, Del., where their entrepreneurial spirit inspired them to open two Good Feet Stores in Delaware. After that venture, their adventurous spirit inspired them to tour the U.S. on the road in an RV over a three-year period, being home for only three months. Upon their second “official” retirement, they settled in The Villages.

She enjoyed a full life, blessed with many activities with family and friends. She was an avid tennis player, was an intense bridge player amongst other card games, took lessons in country dancing and windsurfing, and enjoyed relaxing at the beach, especially at annual family reunions. While in The Villages, she was active in the Parkinson’s Fight Club and enjoyed playing bocci with friends, even from her wheelchair.

She also took up painting in her later years.

Upon passing, Sullivan joined her parents, Wilfred and Emma Jean Boxler, in her new celestial home in heaven. She is survived by her loving and devoted husband, Tom Sullivan; and children Dennis Sullivan, married to Natasha, and Maureen Eckman, married to Dan. She has five grandchildren, Colin, Conrad, Luke, Aidan and Nathan; and a greatgrandchild, Porter. She is also survived by her sister and best friend, Susan, married to Tom Seifert, of Peachtree City, Ga. She and Sue would talk almost nightly, especially over the last three years. She is also survived by her sister Kathy, married to Mac Kroehl, of Green Valley, Ariz.

A special funeral service was held at St Vincent de Paul Catholic

Capt. Edward W.V.Webster, 94 Capt. Edward W.V. Webster, USN (Retired), 94, died peacefully on Oct. 12, 2023, of natural causes. He spent his last several days in hospice and in the company of his immediate survivors: his wife, Paula Massie Webster; daughter, Jessica Marley Webster; and son, Edward Christopher Webster. He was preceded in death by a son, Patrick William Webster, in 2017.

Webster grew up in Ridgewood, N.J., and Cape Cod, Mass., where he spent summers working dockside in local fish and lobster businesses. He attended the University of North Carolina—Chapel Hill, on a Navy ROTC scholarship. Upon graduation in 1952, he was commissioned as a naval officer, and so began a varied 30-year career.

He earned his Naval Aviator Wings in 1955, having first served in the “Black Shoe Navy” as damagecontrol and repair officer aboard a World War II-era Atlantic Fleet destroyer. Lt. j.g. Webster joined a Pacific Fleet fighter squadron and over the succeeding years flew with fighter, light attack and training squadrons based in the Pacific, California and Florida. During this time, he became an instructor pilot in airto-air gunnery, formation tactics and all-weather flight, and was selected as an air-to-air weapons evaluator of a new jet trainer.

In 1957, while stationed at Moffatt Field, Calif., he met Paula Massie. Their partnership of 66 years was characteristic of Navy couples, requiring frequent moves and sacrifices from both of them. Webster acknowledged the Naval officer’s debt: the raising of their three children would not have been possible without Paula Massie Webster’s understanding, patience and resourcefulness.

In 1962, then Lt. Cmdr. Webster completed the Operations Research curriculum at the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, at Monterey, Calif., gaining a specialty that would companion his career as an aviator. He subsequently served on the faculty of the U.S. Naval Academy and the In-

Carol Marie Colmery Sakers,

79, of Millsboro, DE, passed away Sunday, October 19, 2023. Carol was born November 21, 1943, and graduated from Conrad High School in Elsmere and the University of Baltimore with a Master's Degree. She retired from Intervet Schering-Plough in Millsboro.

She is survived by her husband of 62 years, Norm Sakers; children, Scott, Jo Ellen, and Wendy; grandchildren Melissa, Jessica, Amanda, Mara, Rilee, Scott, and Roger.

There will be a Celebration of Life on Saturday, October 28, at the Dagsboro Church of Christ at 32224 Dupont Blvd., Dagsboro.

dustrial College of the Armed Forces, in Washington, D.C. During the Vietnam War, Cmdr.

Webster returned to flying as the commanding officer of Attack Squadron 127, followed by orders as the operations officer of Carrier Air Wing 19, aboard the aircraft carriers U.S.S. Ticonderoga and Oriskany. He spent the remaining years of his career ashore — at one point, far from the ocean during his assignment to the Strategic Air Command at Offutt Air Force Base, Neb. After promotion to the rank of captain, Webster served as executive officer of the Naval Air Station at Albany, Ga., the home of the Navy Reconnaissance Attack Air Wing.

He later served as deputy commander of a newly created division responsible for data processing policy, and he was an architect, and the commanding officer, of the Navy Regional Automation Center in Washington, D.C., integrating software developments and operations across the Navy. In that capacity, Webster felt himself fortunate to work with computing pioneers of the day.

At the time of his retirement in 1982, he was attached to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, at the Pentagon, heading a division responsible for the analysis of operations and military readiness. He would continue this

45 work in a civilian capacity, developing automated planning systems for major combat commands, and as a consultant to the Air Force Electronics Systems Command.

Webster’s love of flying continued into his retirement. He flew for his own pleasure, and occasionally as an instructor for various Navy and Air Force aircraft. After he and his wife moved to Delaware in 1998, he flew as a civilian member of the Dover Air Force Base Flying Club.

A practicing Catholic all of his life, Webster became increasingly involved in Catholic charity and relief organizations, especially those supporting Catholic communities in the Near East. He was active in his local parish, serving as a communicant at St. Ann’s Catholic Church in Bethany Beach, Del. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 27, 2023, at St. Ann Catholic Church, 691 Garfield Parkway, Bethany Beach, Del. Webster will be interred with full honors at Arlington National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society (nacres.org/donate), or to the Catholic Near East Welfare Association (https://cnewa.org/donate/).

Words by Darin J. McCann | Photography by Photos by Sarah Beth | Getty Images Wedding invitations give me anxiety.

Words by Taryn King During a time when various events, ranging from casual to formal, were faced with indoor restrictions, people quickly shifted their gatherings to the outdoors. While capacity limitations were still in place, it was easier to breathe (no pun intended) in the open air. In the wedding industry, that shift blossomed into creative and reimagined ways of celebrating a couples’ joining.

One such notion became the ever-trending “luxury picnic” concept. Most people have been familiar with the idea of laying a blanket on the ground and sharing a meal with friends or family since their formative years. Sometimes, it’s on the cool grass in a serene park, sometimes at home in the living room (when mom wasn’t up for

6

cooking), and sometimes with our little friends in the back yard — just about all of us have memories of something representing the archetypal picnic.

More casual wedding-related events, such as bachelorette parties, formal rehearsal dinners — and even small intimate weddings — embraced the idea of gathering with loved ones in a nostalgic setting with the added boost of professional planning.

While we are no longer living under conditions that require people to keep their distance in outdoor settings, the luxury picnic appeal has not dissipated. In fact, there are now more planners offering this service than during the pan-

demic.

For all the details and information needed for hosting one of these deluxe gatherings, we spoke with three local professionals who regularly plan luxury picnic events.

Beachin Bash Catering to the Eastern Shore coastline, from Lewes to Ocean City, Md., Beachin Bash offers picnic planning on the beach, in clients’ back yards and even indoors. The company also recently partnered with Brittingham Farms and Salted Vines Winery for additional event locations.

rest of us are part of the background, there to provide support, partake in a special moment and maybe wiggle around some cocktailstricken legs to the tune of the Electric Slide.

We’re window dressing, basically, and therein lies the rub: How should we dress?

Specifically, how should a man dress when going to a wedding as a guest? Not as a groom. Not as a member of the party. No, those things are pre-ordained by the couple of the hour. Those choices are easy. This is when we have to dress up but don’t really know how to dress up. How do we do this?

How do we do any of this?

Fret not, dear readers. We have your back. But you need to do just a little bit of research first. It’s not all that hard, and there’s a very good chance the information you need can be found right on that invitation.

You have to find out what kind of dress is expected. Let’s take a look at some options:

I can’t be the only one, right? Others have to see the top-shelf stationery arrive in the mail, or the eye-catching invitation that now arrives via the digital expressway, and feel a tightening in the chest and a shaking in the knees, right?

Well, maybe it is me. But it’s not out of any disdain for the rituals of marriage or a public celebration of love. No, there’s very little that is more beautiful than the idea of two human beings pledging their souls and lives to one another in front of the people they cherish. It is pure and exciting and can warm the very sub-cockles of one’s heart.

I just don’t know what to wear.

Look, I get it. Nobody’s there to look at what some schlub is wearing to a wedding.

They are there to see the couple of the hour — the reason for the season, so to speak. The

IR offense, defense dominate in crucial victory over Early College

By Mike Stern Staff Reporter All of the stars aligned for the Indian River High School football team last week.

For one fantastic performance beneath football’s shimmering Friday-night lights, the Indians were brilliant on both sides of the line of scrimmage.

They leaped back into the DIAA Class 1A playoff race by scoring all of their points before halftime in a 49-12 Homecoming victory over the winless Early College at DSU Hornets, 49-12 on Friday, Oct. 20.

The offensive explosion, supported by a big play defense, became a veritable highlight reel featuring several of the Indians’ outstanding, most explosive student-athletes.

The triumph enabled the Indians to move into a tie with First State Military Academy, St. Andrew’s and Seaford, each of whom are 2-2 in district competition.

They trail 4-0 Brandywine and 3-1 Polytech, and are ahead of 1-3 Conrad and 04 Early College in the playoff race.

Only the top two District 1 and District 2 teams are assured of reaching the postseason. In each district, there is also the potential of up to four schools, for a Class 1A total of eight, that will earn playoff berths based on a points index achieved by victories.

As a result, the Indians will have to run the table and win each of their last three games. Two of them will be on the unforgiving gridirons of Northern Delaware, at St. Andrew’s this Friday, Oct. 27, and at Conrad on Nov. 3, and one at home Nov. 9 against FSMA. “Yes, we are in the playoff mix, and the final three weeks will determine what seed we will earn for the playoffs,” said Indians’ head coach Phil Townsend after his team scored its most points in one game since they defeated the Hornets, 62-28, on Nov. 10, 2022. “It is for us to determine where we will finish. We need to continue to get better and work on the little things.

“We can beat any team in Class 1A if we show up and play our game,” he added.

The Indians dominated this meeting right from the outset. Junior running back Jayvion Chandler started the offensive fireworks by scoring his career-high sixth rushing TD on a 48-yard run midway through the first quarter. Senior two-way

Indian River defensive lineman Jacob Killen, #53, sacks Early College School quarterback Cayden Jarrett, as teammates Luke Pietschmann, #65, Landen Erbe, #18, and James Strates, #44, follow the lead, during the third quarter. Indian River won the game 49-12. IR sophomore quarterback Dylan Grise prepares to hand the football off to running back Jayvion Chandler, #12. Chandler scored a touchdown on the play. stalwart Rashad Hopkins reached the end zone with a 25-yard fumble recovery just 46 seconds later, for a 15-0 lead. It was Rashad’s second defensive TD of the season.

Sophomore offensive dynamo Darnell Stokes struck just 49 seconds later, with a 41-yard TD run — his third scoring run of the season — before Hopkins returned to the end zone with his first rushing TD of the season, on a 25-yard run, to give IR a 29-0 lead after one quarter.

Stokes added two more TDs in the second session, when he snared sophomore quarterback Dylan Grise’s 75-yard scoring pass — his fourth six-point catch of the campaign — and added an explosive 85-yard kickoff return.

Chandler finished the Indians’ scoring with an 8-yard TD run — his team-leading seventh of the season — to give the home team a 49-6 halftime lead. Chan-

dler finished with a team-high 82.5 rushing yards on eight carries. QB Grise threw only three passes, completing one each to Stokes and senior Bryce Johnson.

The Hornets put their points on the scoreboard during the second and third quarters, on sophomore quarterback Cayden Jarrett’s TD passes of 6 and 35 yards to senior wide receiver Stephens Torchon and sophomore tight end Turray Jones, respectively.

The IR defense otherwise dominated against Early College, as senior linebackers Nick Butts and Collin King contributed seven and six tackles, respectively.

King also forced the fumble that Hopkins returned for a six-pointer.

Indians visit St. Andrew’s Townsend said he hopeful that his team will continue to keep its collective foot on the playoff pedal when the Indians visit the St. Andrew’s Saints for a 3 p.m. start on Friday, Oct. 27.

“St. Andrews is a pass-heavy team,” said Townsend. “As a result, we need to work on stopping the pass this week in practice.

They have a good tight end and split end who we will need to shut down, so putting pressure on the quarterback will be a key.

Offensively, we just need to hang on to the ball and do what we do.This should be a fun week of practice.”

IRHS Sports Report Williamson, Indians blast Blue Jays to secure winning record

By Jason Feather Staff Reporter With the chance to ensure that they will finish the 2023 season with a winning record, the Indian River High School field hockey team went out and dominated their hosts from Seaford with a 10-0 win on Tuesday, Oct. 24.

Sophomore Baylie Williamson blasted home four goals for the locals, to lead the charge. She helped the Indians jump out to a 4-0 lead in the first quarter, scoring twice.

Classmate Ella Peterson put IR on the board at the 14:20 mark with an unassisted tally, before Williamson would score the first of her goals in the contest back-toback. Senior Macy Blades closed out the

first-quarter scoring, taking a pass from freshman Maggie Bare and hammering it home with 32 seconds left on the clock.

The second quarter was much of the same for IR, as Lillyan Merrick scored off a feed from senior Kylie Harris (two assists total for the game). Baylie Williamson took a pass from sister Lucy Williamson to score another. Sophomore Addelyn Clark pushed a shot passed the Blue Jays’ goalie off a pass from Kacie Kirschner with 14 seconds left until the half.

Harris scored the lone IR goal in the third to make it 8-0. Baylie Williamson notched her fourth goal of the contest at the 6:49 mark of the fourth, and then Kirschner added her second of the game, with Lucy Williamson earning another as-

sist.

All told, IR out-shot Seaford, 24-2, while also dominating the penalty-corner stat at 13-5. Jazmin Mayfield needed to make just two saves to earn the clean-sheet win.

The Indians will close out the regular season at home on Thursday, Oct. 26, as they will welcome Lake Forest (9-5 overall) to The Reservation.

IR boys’ soccer wins twice at home to shake off mid-season slump

By Mike Stern Staff Reporter They do not go softly into the night.

Not this soccer team.

And certainly not after they battled through a mid-season slump.

Surrendering goals in the final 10 minutes of regulation play four times in a six-game span cost them, with a tie, two losses and loss of the Henlopen Conference Southern Division title.

But when a student-athlete at Indian River High School pulls on that green-and-gold soccer jersey, they’re all about building back up from setbacks to benefit their quality of play.

That’s exactly what happened when the Indians showed their mettle with a critical 1-0 victory over visiting Henlopen Conference Northern Division power Milford on Thursday, Oct. 19.

They followed that with a 5-2 triSee SOCCER page 61 Special to the Coastal Point • Butch Comegys

Soccer Continued from page 60 umph over visiting Seaford in a Southern Division match on Tuesday, Oct. 24, improving their season record to 73-2.

The triumph kept the Indians on course for attracting serious consideration for an at-large DIAA playoff berth.

“Every game is important, and each one impacts whether you make the playoffs or not,” said IRHS soccer head coach Brandt Mais. “To qualify for the playoffs, we must rank in the top 12 of Division II in the DIAA. Currently we rank fourth in the state, which may seem surprising with our record. But we play a very strong non-Henlopen Conference schedule.

“In fact, a team’s level of non-conference opponents’ competitiveness is a major part of the ranking system,” Mais added. “We always play one of the toughest schedules in the state to keep our competitive edge.”

Senior midfielder Cole Veirs emerged as the hero du jour for the Indians against Milford. He scored the game’s only goal, at the 58-minute mark, midway through the second half.

Veirs’ first marker of the season and five saves by junior goalkeeper Kai Kelley enabled the Indians to defeat a talented Buccaneer squad that entered the game with an impressive 9-2 won-lost mark.

“That goal was scored through sheer determination,” said Mais. “The ball came in from a Leo Chester cross, and it bounced several times between defenders and attackers. Cole finally poked it in — a really important goal to help set us up for the playoffs and get us back on track.”

Against Seaford, seniors Brandon Ganon-Linares, Jose Savala-Saldivar and Joseph Cordoba-Serna contributed goals, along with junior Leo Chester and sophomore Pablo Arias. Chester netted his sixth goal of the season on a rebound of a penalty kick following a great save by Blue Jays’ sophomore goalkeeper Luke Metzner. Savalo-Saldivar and Arias each netted their second marker of the season, while Gonon-Linares and Cordoba-Serna each netted their first marker of the campaign.

The Indians need an at-large playoff berth because they will not win the Henlopen Conference championship and automatic postseason bid this season, for the first time since 2017. They surrendered three second-half goals — including the game-winner, with three minutes left in regulation time — to visiting Sussex Academy on Oct. 3.

“Honestly, the mid-season slump is actually a credit to our opponents,” said Mais. “All three losses were to good teams — Sussex Academy, Cape Henlopen and Caesar Rodney. In each of those games, we had the opportunities

to win but did not play consistently enough to finish the game. In a positive sense, regarding those games, the team was confident that we could perform better. We made some mistakes, learned from them and have grown to improve. And we are excited for the last few games of the regular season, to finish strong against some great competition.

“Although we rank fourth as of this moment, we still have four games to play, so we need to stay focused and finish strong,” added Mais.

The Indians will finish their regular season on the road at Lake Forest on Oct. 26 and at Caravel Academy on Oct. 30, then at home on Oct. 28 against a 9-2 Wilmington Charter side.

She darts into the open spaces in anticipation of the next play.

Moments later, she uses her field hockey IQ and creativity to transition from an offensive mindset into a critical defensive challenge.

When the play shifts again — as it does frequently, at a breakneck pace — she has already anticipated another game-changing play and completed her next move, to the utmost benefit of her team.

Indian River High School field hockey senior attack stalwart Macy Blades lives for these moments when her strategic approach and athleticism are in complete sync with each other.

“The most exciting thing about field hockey is that you are constantly working,” said Blades, who uses a combination of strength and speed to create offensive opportunities and defensive support. “There is always something to do or somewhere to be. The game is so fastpaced that you have to know your next move in order to be successful.”

The 5-foot-4 offensive dynamo from Dagsboro has been a starter each of her four seasons, beginning with the most recent playoff collection of talent in the fall of 2020. In fact, she scored the third goal in the Indians’ 5-0 opening-round victory over Wilmington Ursuline Academy.

In the second round, she was the Indians’ only player to hit the back of the net, in a heart-breaking 2-1 setback against Archmere Academy.

For her career, Blades has netted

15 goals and dealt 13 assists for 43 points. As a senior this season, she has contributed six goals and 18 points as a major contributor to an improving team that is still competing for a DIAA playoff berth.

“Macy has made a tremendous impact with the field hockey program,” said head coach Torrie Huk. “She has, without a doubt, left the program better than she found it, after her four years on the varsity squad. She is the all-around package that every coach wants as a part of their program. Her selflessness, hardworking attitude and dedication has not only influenced her performance on the field but also put her in a leadership role for her senior season.

Macy is versatile, coachable and, overall, just a good kid.”

Blades quickly learned how to bring a positive attitude and a desire to build her skills.

“I think one of the most important parts of becoming a great field hockey player is the willingness to learn,” she said. “As athletes, we have to learn how to accept criticism, and use it to grow and improve our games. As far as leadership goes, I feel that leading by example is very effective, because the girls see what they should be doing and the results that are produced, which is exactly how I learned.

“I have loved being a part of the Indian River High field hockey program,” she added. “I have appreciated my role on this team. I love the energy and success we bring when we truly come together and work as a See SENIOR page 63

In addition to raising the level of play on the field hockey turf, Blades has also been a major contributor to the Green & Gold’s girls’ softball program. Playing first base and hitting out of the No. 3 hole, the righthanded-swinging Blades was a major cog in the Indians’ magical ride to the DIAA state championship game.

She ripped 18 hits, including a pair of grand-slam home runs, and drove in 16 runs.

“Field hockey and softball are very different sports,” said Blades, who earned First Team All Henlopen

on State Forest lands. Any trail cameras found on State Forest property will be confiscated, and violators will be subject to fines.

No permanent deer stands, platforms, ladders or blinds may be constructed.

Due to safety, speed and conflicts with other users on multiuse State Forest trails and roadways, no offroad vehicles registered or unregistered are allowed. That includes the use of electronic bikes, also known as

e-bikes. Electronic bikes are considered to be motorized under Forest Service regulations, and violators will subject to fines and restitution for any damages that take place on trails and forest roads.

“Fall is in the air which means hunting, horseback riding, mountain biking and hiking is taking place on state forest property,” said Delaware State Forester Kyle Hoyd. “Our largest numbers of users per day take place during the next two months.

This message serves as a reminder to adhere to the Delaware Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service regu-

lations, so that all users can enjoy the benefits of our sustainable resources on Forest Service property.”

Visitors who come across unmarked stands or see off-road vehicles are being encouraged to report such incidents to the regional offices: • Blackbird State Forest — Jim Dobson, (302) 653-6505; • Taber State Forest — Chris Miller, (302) 698-4549; • Redden State Forest — Erich Burkentine, (302) 856-5580.

Conference and Academic All-Conference kudos last spring. “Softball is a very mental game. It’s more individualized, and you rely on yourself as much as you rely on your teammates. However, with field hockey, you don’t really have that time to think about how you’re playing. You just go your hardest until the game is over.

“Playing softball consistently for so long, I lean on my experience and knowledge of the game to play my best,” added Blades, who also earned the coaches’ Most Coachable Award last spring. “But in field hockey, I have just started figuring out what I can do, eventually gaining the confidence to trust myself and make those hard decisions in a game.”

Blades said she is extremely thankful to each of her coaches who have contributed to her success in both sports.

“Molly [Chamberlin-Lundy] has stuck with the field hockey program and really helped me build confidence in myself over the past four years,” she said. “Coach Huk came in this year and really helped us gain a better understanding of the game. I believe she will do great things for the program.

“As for softball, coaches Sara [Powell] and Lauren [Illian] have been working to make the program successful since I was a freshman,” added Blades. “They definitely achieved that goal when we made it to the state championship game. I

have learned so much from them, and they have made a huge impact on my life as a player and as a person.”

Blades said she is also grateful for the support from her parents — mom, Cameo, and father, Brandon Blades — as well as from her friends.

“It has meant everything to me to have them on my side, not only throughout my athletic career, but in every other aspect of my life,” she said. “They never fail to make me feel loved and supported in everything I do.”

Although Blades remains unsure where she will attend college beginning next fall, she intends to earn a degree toward her goal of becoming a nurse practitioner.

Pickleball Points: Sliding into home plate

By Vaughn Baker Special to the Coastal Point I recently conducted my third clinic for Sal’s Gals. The following is the opening statement in an email I sent them afterwards: “…When I started this project, I wanted to see why people were not improving as much as I knew they could, and Sally was quite nice to organize your group. I’m not expecting world champions, but I wanted you to get to the point where you could enjoy the exuberance of long well played points.”

From my lifetime in tennis around some of the all-time greats in coaching, and almost a decade of teaching local players how to play pickleball, I hoped to identify the missing link to not only

help Sal’s Gals improve, but, hopefully, our entire local army of players. And I wondered where we may have fallen short in our instructions — and I found it.

I’ve learned there is a problem in pickleball instruction, and I am as guilty as the next pickle. I have been pushing this same instructional idea — that we need to emphasize the dink and thirdshot drop — from the very first lesson.

It is almost as if we are teaching softball players the finer points of sliding into home plate before we teach them how to hit the ball.

There was some initial rationale to this methodology a decade ago, when there were a fair amount of players playing pickleball like miniature tennis.

Players would stand on the baseline and

Did you miss last week’s game?

Don’t fret... you can find the entire paper and local sports coverage online at coastalpoint.com E-Edition

hit balls, never hitting it into the kitchen, and hit until someone missed.

Better pickleball players found it boring, because all they had to do was hit a drop shot or volley and the point was over.

I do agree that instructors should show students the entire game, including the dink, third shot and volley, but initially put the focus on teaching them the basics of holding the paddle, anticipating the incoming shot, positioning before, during and after striking the ball, and footwork. I have conducted many public clinics for advancing players only to discover many hold the paddle incorrectly. I define an incorrect grip as one that might allow you to hit a serve or forehand, but not a backhand, volley and overhead.

We all acknowledge tennis players have the advantage in pickleball because, as we say, “They have the strokes.”

But I’ve slowly come to the realization that they have more than the strokes — they have been instructed in the basics of how to hold a racket (paddle), stretching, anticipation, court angles, footwork, balance, shift weight at contact with the ball, etc. In fact, had we done a better job of teaching the basics, perhaps there would have been fewer beginner injuries.

I’ve always tried to ascertain which other sports my students had played, because if they had been involved in organized sports, such as baseball, lacrosse or soccer, they would have already been introduced to balance and footwork.

Throwing a baseball from shortstop to first base requires much of the same motion as hitting a return of serve.

I’ve known quite a few students who desperately wanted to get better, but they had practiced bad habits so long they were baked into their game, and it

is very difficult for them to adapt.

There is a lot of bad information out there being peddled as instruction. Remember that advice is just that — advice (sometimes quackery) from their perspective — so listen carefully to them and then try to do what the instructor is telling you. See if it makes sense for you. If so, practice it.

A few years ago, a 30-year-old professional instructor flew into the area, charged big bucks and was preaching about things that helped her limber body, but — not knowing what it is like to be more than twice her age — that were physically impossible for most of her students.

As a kid, I cut out every printed tennis article, and then cross-referenced and filed it in a cabinet. Years later, when I met some of these authors, I asked what they were thinking when they said this, or that. Often, they had not thought much about what they had written but were just reciting the popular “meme” at that time.

There never have been any silver bullets, and racket sports are not rocket science — instead, they require absolute practiced attention to the basics.

It is interesting that, despite millions of players in racket sports, no two players have the exact same forehand. I tried to replicate the forehand of a name from the past, Lew Hoad, but the only similarity was that we both spoke English, “mate.” But although the strokes are different, they are all bound to the physics behind striking the ball or throwing to first.

Pickleball Continued from page 64 sport. When everyone was talking about a new racket, or volley technique, he would remind them that we all are limited by the physics that govern us in sport.

There is always the local expert who will tell you that you only get good by playing better players. I think the definition of “trite” best describes that expression, and a good response to that

might be: “Why ruin their game? What did they ever do to you?”

Practice is the best route to improvement. I’m reminded of the quote by South African golfer Gary Player, who said “the harder he practiced, the luckier he got.” When someone along the fairway said they would give anything to hit the golf ball like him, he said, “No you would not!” and then went on to explain the hours of practice in rain, wind and sunshine.

A friend from my college team who held impressive junior tennis titles in

New York and New Jersey estimated that he had hit 30 million forehands.

His parents would not feed him dinner until he hit a thousand forehands against the garage door each evening. I would hit a hundred consecutive leaping overheads before I went to dinner — and if I missed at 95, I punished myself and started again at 1.

That is practice, and just 1 percent of that intensity will produce outstanding improvement.

I’ve been working with two outstanding players who just want to get

better, and they have made outstanding progress. They excel in every facet of pickleball, but after a recent loss to an excellent team, we collectively concluded something very simple: It was because they were not serving deeply enough, nor returning serve deeply enough, and therefore hitting into their opponents’ strength. How will they overcome that? Practice.

Next time, I’m going to offer you some practice routines that seem to provide the next best thing to the illusory silver bullet.
