Ørsted remains committed to Skipjack project

By Mike Smith Staff Reporter Last Tuesday, the Danish firm Ørsted scrapped its Ocean Wind I and II projects in southern New Jersey, saying the projects were no longer financially-feasible. The company cited supply-chain issues, inflation and a failure to gain enough government tax credits, according to the Associated

Press. Ørsted is appealing the return of a $300 million deposit guarantee it had earlier agreed to pay New Jersey in the event it failed to build its first wind farm off the state’s coast. The issue of investing in wind to meet the Biden Administration agenda for renewable energy has been heating up lately.

In a recent story in Law 360, industry analysts stated that Offshore Wind

must “get creative amid a macroeconomic storm.” The publication noted that U.S. offshore wind developers and the states that want a zero-carbon electricity alternative “have to be more adaptable deal-making partners if they are going to be successful in navigating the rough waters” ahead economically.

We asked Chris Bason, Ørsted’s stakeholder relations lead for Delaware, about the impact the New Jersey with-

drawal might have on Maryland Offshore Wind and on the proposed onshoring of cables at 3R’s beach right here in the North Bethany area.

Selbyville to host hearing on cannabis establishments

By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter The Selbyville Town Council will host a public hearing at 6 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 4, at Town Hall, concerning amending the town code to prohibit the operation of marijuana establishments.

Amendments to the code would also include prohibiting testing facilities, cultivation, retail stores and any commercial establishment such as marijuana lounges or cafes “that allow patrons to consume, smoke or partake in marijuana products within the jurisdiction limits of the town of Selbyville.”

During the Monday, Nov. 6, town council meeting, Councilman Monroe Hudson, chairman of the Marijuana Advisory Committee, said he and committee members “overwhelmingly said we want to prohibit the sale in town limits.”

Frankford looking to hire new full-time police officer Bruette’s departure leaves department short

By Kerin Magill Staff Reporter Frankford’s police department is seeking to replace its only full-time offi-

cer other than its police chief, following the departure of Cpl. Beth Bruette last month.

Bruette, who joined the force about six months ago, resigned Oct. 27 “effective immediately and with no reason given” for her departure, police Chief Kevin Smith announced at the Frankford Town Council meeting on Monday,

Nov. 6.

The department now consists of Smith and part-time officers Megan Loulou and Kevin Dorney.

Smith said on Tuesday, Nov. 7 that the Town Council agreed during an executive session following Monday’s regular council meeting to move forward with replacing Bruette with another

full-time officer.

“We’re going to take our time,” with the replacement process, Smith said Tuesday.

At press time, Bruette had not responded to requests from the Coastal Point for comment on her departure.

Selbyville officials talk Christmas Parade

By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter Selbyville town officials are working to make the annual Christmas Parade, planned for 7 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 1, a memorable event and discussed plans for it at the Monday, Nov. 6, town council meeting.

“We want to make it a very special night,” Town Administrator Stacey Long said, adding members of the local Rotary Club and Salem United Methodist Church will host a Santa House, located at the church.

The town will sponsor one night when Santa Claus is there receiving visitors in the house, and provide cookies and hot chocolate. Other organizations, including State Farm and the Rotary Club, will host nights with Santa and

the police department will also be there.

“As long as I can give Santa my list,” Police Chief Brian Wilson joked, holding his hands a foot apart, indicating a long list.

Santa’s House should arrive in town after Thanksgiving and will be decorated with lights and ornaments.

Honor Society students visit council Students from Philip Showell Elementary School, who are in the honor society, were special guests when the Selbyville Town Council met on Monday, Nov. 6.

The students, accompanied by Dr. Michelle Timmons, stood in a straight line in front of council members, facing the audience, and each took a turn explaining the roles in the honor society, BOEM and has not selected preferred landfall or transmission routes for BOEM’s consideration.

“We are very grateful to you for letting us come here,” one student said as the audience applauded and Mayor Rick Duncan invited them to tour the town’s water facility and test the water.

“We’re always looking for good operators,” he said.

Time extended for impact fee reports Council unanimously agreed to amend Chapter 100 — Impact Fees — and give the Selbyville Volunteer Fire Skipjack?

Bason: “We take our supply chain commitments to the State of Maryland seriously, and those commitments are at the forefront of our work to support Skipjack’s continued development.

We expect to have more clarity on Skipjack Wind’s path forward as we continue discussions with stakeholders in Maryland and Delaware.”

CP: How is your work progressing in Europe on production of wind turbine blades (800 feet) for U.S. wind production?

Bason: “Ørsted does not manufacture wind turbine blades. Ørsted procures components such as wind turbine blades from manufacturers. Ørsted has not made a final decision on the type of wind turbine or blades that would be used for Skipjack Wind.

“As you may know, Ørsted is currently constructing its South Fork Wind Farm off the coast of New York.

CP: Does the New Jersey decision impact Maryland and Delaware at this time?

Bason: “The decision to cease the development of our Ocean Wind projects was an outcome of a portfolio review of our U.S. offshore wind projects.

Since our August announcement regarding anticipated impairments, both Ocean Wind projects have been further negatively impacted by unprecedented macroeconomic challenges in the form of high interest rates, rising inflation and, most significantly, supply-chain bottlenecks. The company remains committed to the U.S. renewable energy industry, including offshore wind and land-based technologies.

“Skipjack Wind remains in active development, and we remain in discussion with stakeholders in Maryland and Delaware about the project’s path forward.”

Hudson said he talked to Selbyville Police Chief Brian Wilson who agreed it should be prohibited in Selbyville for the sake of public, traffic and highway safety.

The Delaware League of Local Governments does not support allowing marijuana, also because of concerns about public safety, Hudson said. Committee members also talked to town residents, who said they oppose the sale and use of marijuana in Selbyville, he said.

The town has two schools and a large daycare center “and we feel an or-

think it’s a grand plan,” Councilwoman Carol Cary said.

dinance to prohibit it is necessary,” Hudson said.

Council unanimously agreed to the committee’s findings.

In nearby Ocean View, the town council passed an ordinance to prohibit the sale, cultivation, testing and use of marijuana and the Millsboro Town Council is in the process of doing the same.

Ocean View Mayor John Reddington told Coastal Point he heard from residents who don’t want marijuana in town because they don’t want to smell it and many are convinced it’s a gateway drug, meaning it leads to the use of stronger, addictive and dangerous illegal drugs.

In early September, the Millsboro Town Council, by unanimous vote, directed Town Solicitor Mary SchriderFox to draft an ordinance banning the cultivation, sale and production of cannabis products in the town.

Town Manager Jamie Burk showed council members ordinances from other

Delaware municipalities, and said council members and others he has talked to favor prohibition.

Schrider-Fox said she looked at Millville’s ordinance and, like that nearby town, Millsboro will have to be sure to add references banning the substance to its zoning code, as well as in licensing and business restrictions, and that public hearings will be required.

Councilman Marty Presley said licenses for related businesses will start being approved by the state in March 2024 and suggested also adding in Millsboro law that it will be illegal to smoke marijuana “on our streets and in our town.”

In April, Delaware lawmakers passed House bills legalizing the possession of up to 1 ounce of recreational marijuana, making it legal to buy starting in early 2025, but towns were given the option to prohibit it.

There is no such provision for areas in Sussex County that are not incorporated.

lations for Mountaire Farms, and who was also attending the meeting, said during discussions with Beebe Healthcare, the problem of unavailable, or unaffordable, housing, comes up.

“The only way to provide affordable housing is to build more houses but a lot of people here don’t want more houses so it becomes convoluted,” Evans said.

The woman said an established doctor could afford a home in the Selbyville area. Evans agreed, but said technicians, nurses and staff also need affordable housing.

“You know the saying, ‘If you build it they will come?’” Councilwoman Carol Cary asked.

“It’s hard to be patient to build all

He also informed the council that the department is moving ahead toward accreditation, which has been ongoing since the department was reactivated in 2019 with the hiring of former Police Chief Laurence Corrigan. The accreditation, which was revoked when the department was dormant for several years, will aid the department in seeking grants.

In other business, the council voted to affirm the Planning and Zoning Commission’s recommendation to ap-

Town Council President Greg Welch announced that applications are being accepted for candidates for three openings on the council.

Salute to Veterans Shaped by service, Bare continues to serve

By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter

Special to the Coastal Point • Submitted

It isn’t unusual to see Tyler Bare in the gym playing dodgeball or kickball with Selbyville Middle School students, or stopping by a table in the cafeteria for a lunchtime chat.

As the school resource officer — and also for Phillip Showell Elementary and Southern Delaware School of the Arts — Bare, a Selbyville Police officer, wants youngsters to know he enjoys sports just as much as they do and, most importantly, he is available if they want to talk or need help.

“I connect with them on a different level than a teacher and I enjoy it. I see them in the hallways, in the cafeteria, in the gym,” the 37-year-old Dagsboro resident said. He and his wife, Rachel, have an 11-year-old son.

In conversation, Bare is modest, the kind of man who hesitates to take credit, but whose anecdotes illustrate a dedication to his career as well as to those who, like him, have served their country.

A U.S. Marine Corps veteran now in his second year as a school resource officer, Bare was in active duty from 2005 until 2010, joining the Marine Corps while in high school, in a delayed entry program. He was stationed in Quantico, Va., for two years, then sent to Japan for two years and, in 2009, assigned to Afghanistan where he stayed for nine months.

Now a crisis intervention specialist, he responds when fellow veterans are upset, maybe suffering emotional break-

School Resource Officer Tyler Bare, seen here with his Above and Beyond Award for his work in the Indian River School District, is a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, and continues to work with veterans in need. downs, and need assistance.

Most often, problems are the result of post-traumatic stress order, memories of combat, homelessness or the kind of mental stress he experienced after being discharged.

“I hit a point where I needed help. I had nightmares and rough sleeping habits and other issues in my personal life for five years before I got help. I had a veteran reaching out to me. I am not bitter. I am very glad I got help. It definitely changed my life,” Bare, a native of Ocean View, said.

Immediately, he knew he wanted to serve his country, and be strong for others, while he was in a high school history class on Sept. 11, 2001.

“I wanted to join the Marines since I was a kid but 9/11 really solidified it for me. I was sitting in my history class and they had a TV. A teacher came running in and said, ‘The Twin Towers have been hit.’ We watched it on TV. I was sitting in that history class and I knew right then and there ‘This is what I’m doing.’ When I saw that I knew my country was really going to need help,” he said.

His military experience “helped shaped who I am today and allows me to be there as a public servant for other See BARE page 6

DEMA official talks flood zones, funding

By Mike Smith Staff Reporter Money is available for beach communities in special flood hazard zones to conduct studies on sea level rise, overall coastal resilience, and think “outside the box” about solutions to the warming oceans and the dual threat of bayside and ocean side flooding.

All the local beach communities and coastal towns are within the FEMA 100-year flood plain with the hazard lines drawn right to the front door of many beachfront homes. In reviewing the hazard maps through FEMA’s National Risk Index, the dune line at the beaches often denotes the start of the flood plain. It’s where the dunes provide

Bare Continued from page 5 people in tough situations,” he said.

He has learned skills necessary to help veterans and uses similar techniques when middle school students have a need.

“What you sometimes see in middle school is, you have families that are split up, broken homes if you will. They need a little bit of guidance, stability, being there for the students. As a

some protection from coastal flooding that FEMA forms the redline of coastal flood zones.

Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA) is the lead state agency for coordination of comprehensive emergency preparedness, training, response, recovery and mitigation services in order to save lives, protect Delaware’s economic base and reduce the impact of emergencies. Phillip Cane is the state hazard mitigation officer in Delaware. He discussed the grant money that is now available to local communities.

He responded to three areas of concern during a recent interview: local community risk mitigation studies, beach restoration and recovery, local

code enforcement and home or street elevations to stay ahead of sea level rise.

The Community Disasters Resilience Zones Act of late 2022 is legislation to make sure FEMA receives enough funding to permit dollars to go to the right places. The president is required to maintain a natural hazards zones assessment program.

High levels of individual hazard risk ratings are based on an assessment of the intersection of loss to population equivalence; building value; agriculture value; and the high social vulnerability ratings and low community resilience ratings of specified regions. These are the metrics that permit agencies to conduct risk assessments.

“Our local communities are trying to

find the money to do studies of their roadways and the feasibility of safe road passage during significant flood events,” said Cane. “We are working closely with Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) right now on the SR 1 study which has been over four years in the making. We are closing it out now and will soon be able to reach out to state and local governements about Route One and have a conversation about flood mitigation.

“One idea that has emerged is to use a permeable pavement road surface,” continued Cane. “The rising water could move through the roadway because the roadway’s pavement would be

school resource officer, there are a lot of smiles in a typical day, a lot of hanging out with the kids. When you’re out on the street writing tickets you might not see that person again, but in school I see the same kids every day.

“I am roaming the hallways while they are switching classes and I make sure there is a safe environment so they can look forward to coming to school.

“If they have an issue, I can be that person. If they say, ‘I got in trouble’ I will be there for them. The connection

between helping veterans and helping children is my ability to talk to kids out of stressful situations that some adults or veterans may also see. A few veterans have reached out to me to connect them with the right kind of people. I see myself as a resource for veterans. If a veteran needs help, I will be there for them,” he said.

This year on Veterans Day, Bare will be in Virginia attending a Veterans Day dinner with his family. From time to time, he is asked to speak about being a veteran, including last

year, when he was featured at Dagsboro Church of God. Bare is also involved with the Millville Fire Department and has been a volunteer since 2001.

“I am a third-generation fire fighter.

My grandfather was a police officer.

My whole family has been involved in the fire department and I have police officers in my family,” he said.

“I want to continue in public safety and if anybody needs help, I will help them. I’m easy to find. Anybody can find me at the police department.”

Public Works report Steffen, while presenting the monthly Public Works report, said the town’s Christmas lights will be turned on around Thanksgiving.

Economic Development Committee plans Councilwoman Carol Cary, while updating the council about the Economic Development Committee, said it is “moving right along with its plans” and members are setting one-year, fiveyear and 10-year plans “so it has longevity built in.”

Cary thanked members of the Bethany-Fenwick Area Chamber of Commerce for their help.

In upcoming months, members will discuss strategic visioning.

Member Zach Evans thanked town leaders “for making this a focus of the town” and Chamber members “for giving us a road map.”

Innovations to protect town flooding “In Bethany Beach, we are looking at a grant request right now for an inflatable dam,” said Cane.

“It is a permanent structure to help solve for the localized street flooding you are seeing in Bethany. The floods the town by the Center for Applied Demography and Survey Research, through the University of Delaware.

Town Administrator Stacey Long said about one year ago the council changed the town charter concerning districts.

“There were several questions and we researched and now we are working to get a district map designed,” she said.

“They specialize in this. They will get information from the census,” Long said.

Last November, council discussed created voting districts and agreed to develop a resolution to amend the charter and create districts, a change from the longtime policy of all Council members being elected at-large.

The charter change was forwarded to Sen. Gerald Hocker and Representatives Rich Collins and Ron Gray to introduce during the General Assembly.

“There were additional questions

may come from sea rise or from the bay side. While this is still an application and only in the review phase, it would be a great use of Flood Mitigation FMA or BRIC Funding,” said Cane.

“We are looking at all available sources of funding for Bethany to get this grant and create the dam.”

The Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities Grant Program

(BRIC) funding assists eligible applicants in implementing pre-disaster natural hazard mitigation projects by awarding planning and project grants to mitigate future damage before disaster strikes.

The Flood Mitigation Assistance Grant Program (FMA) is a competitive

that arose regarding district voting or at-large voting and it was placed on hold until the new mayor and council discussed it further,” Long said.

The resolution amended Chapter 2 of the town’s charter concerning the structure of government “to create election districts from which Town Council members shall be elected” and to “identify the annual election procedure for the two election cycles immediately following establishment of the new election districts.”

Mayor Rick Duncan said the idea is for districts to fairly represent everyone who lives in Selbyville.

“There is a lot of time and documentation so we asked the University of Delaware to help us but we get the final say and we can move the district lines.

They will go off the 2020 census,” Duncan said.

In August, Duncan told Coastal

Point the ACLU raised questions about fairness to the municipality if districts were created.

“They were looking out for us, for the municipality side and Sen. Gerald Hocker agreed. We may have to add on a couple council seats as fast as we’re growing so we want to make sure everybody is represented and we wanted to make sure that is what we wanted and that we had the wording right.

“It was pushed too quick and then with a new council coming on they didn’t understand what it was about so we want to be fair to everybody. We have several new subdivisions coming on,” Duncan said.

Also at the time, Councilwoman Carol Cary told Coastal Point that Hocker “thought it was a good idea” and said having voting districts is necessary, especially since more residents now live on the eastern side of town.

See DEMA page 9

Administrative assistant to be hired At the request of Councilwoman Carol Cary, council members agreed to approve writing a job description and advertising for an administrative assistant.

“It’s time we actually started advertising for it and writing up a job description,” Cary said.

Agreeing, Town Administrator Stacey Long said the position is necessary because the town is rapidly growing “and we have to keep up.”

The Millsboro Middle School Junior Optimist Club inducted 32 new members and new officers for the school year at a ceremony at the school auditorium on Tuesday, Oct. 24. The student-led organization is allied with the Optimist Club of Sussex County, yet has its own board of directors and creates service projects in the community.

“We do have a very active Junior Optimists Club here at Millsboro Middle School,” said Shelley McBride, an eighth-grade history teacher and the Optimist Club faculty advisor.

Assistant Principal Chris Costello shares optimism and positivity with all of his MMS students and is quite proud of the new club inductees. “MMS is the first and the only middle school in our state to host a Junior Optimist Club.”

“Part of this success is about the active Optimist Club in our region here in Millsboro. Part of this success is the dedication of our faculty advisors, especially Ms. McBride. We have a very dedicated group here at MMS who believe in the Optimist creed.”

McBride said the club is now five years old.

Participation in Junior Optimist International gives young people the opportunity to serve their communities.

Students who are involved in Junior Optimist Clubs learn about and practice good citizenship, teamwork, communication and money management. They feel good about themselves and have high self-esteem, according to the international organization. Membership in Junior Optimist Clubs helps to develop friendships with others.

With 32 new members coming aboard this school year, the ceremony provided a chance for the middle schoolers to share their pride with their families.

“When you look at 32 students committing to the Junior Optimist program, they are from all walks of life,” said Costello. “Some are athletes, or in band, or in robotics. They really embody who we are as a middle school. We have all backgrounds involved; but these students all have a common ground of wanting to better.

“We are talking about volunteering for the community with something on a national scale,” Costello continued. “I can see what is going on at the beaches and do a clean-up. Or I can go to the local retirement community and help out with seniors. We see that community spirit through our Optimist’s engagement firsthand.”

DEMA Continued from page 7 grant program that provides funding to eligible applicants for projects that reduce or eliminate the risk of repetitive flood damage to buildings insured by the National Flood Insurance Program.

All eligible projects must be submitted through sub-applicants, or state and local governments, for both the BRIC and FMA grant programs.

How will projects be selected? The selection of eligible projects begins with a state-level review of all pre-application materials for suitability. Following the initial pre-application review, DEMA’s mitigation staff will determine which projects meet eligible criteria for potential mitigation project grant funding. Successful projects will also address and support one or more of FEMA’s seven “Community Lifelines.”

“You may want to mirror something that is working in other states or municipalities,” said Cane.

In the area of beach restoration, Cane said that towns should look for BRIC money. “With BRIC, we are looking beyond beach replenishment. It is not just about creating more dunes,” said Cane. “We need to look at restoration with natural vegetation, using rain gardens to stop the water, and create more living shorelines.” He said a natural or man-made oyster reef, use of oyster and clam shell and other natural elements may be used to shore-up the shoreline.

“It has to be holistic and look at the whole thing,” said Cane of beach restoration following storms.

Raise the roads or the bulkheads Towns like South Bethany may be facing an “existential threat,” from sea level rise (SLR), according to the town’s own engineers from GMB. The GMB engineering report shows the inundation potentials of both adverse weather and sea-level rise, with South Bethany uniquely positioned between the Atlantic Ocean and the inland bays, predicting the potential of 1.4 feet of additional SLR by 2050.

“We are talking about an existential threat to the Town of South Bethany,” said Brent Jett, the lead engineer. The core issue is the low elevation of town roads, he reported earlier in the year.

“Fifty percent of the roads are below 2.5 feet above sea level and that is the issue — it’s the mark where FEMA says you are still just above the flood line.

However, it’s still flooding. The groundwater table is higher here.”

Cane said the Town of South Bethany requires a cost-effective approach and should apply for FMA and BRIC grants. “We have seen what is coming in South Bethany,” said Cane of the forecast for future floods. “Is this going to be a combination of raising the See DEMA page 10

DSP arrests man for sexual solicitation of a child The Delaware State Police have arrested 66-year-old Wayne Long of Berlin, Md., for multiple counts of felony sexual solicitation of a child as part of an ongoing investigation. Detectives are seeking assistance in identifying potential victims associated with the investigation occurring in the Sussex County area.

On Oct. 19, 2023, Delaware State Police Troop 4 Youth Aid Detectives began investigating the possible sexual solicitation of a child after learning Wayne Long requested sexually explicit images from multiple underage male children through Snapchat in exchange for transportation to and from the beach in Sussex County, according to police. At this time, detec-

tives have reportedly identified two victims who were targeted by Long on multiple occasions over the course of several months this past summer. Long is a former custodian with the Indian River School District, according to Long police. He reportedly supports several athletic teams, including Sussex Central High School, but has been known to attend sporting events and other events at various local school districts. Detectives said they have reason to believe there are additional unidentified vic-

tims who may have been targeted through Snapchat or potentially other social media platforms over the past couple of years.

On Oct. 30, 2023, Long responded to Troop 4 after detectives contacted him by phone. He was charged with Sexual Solicitation of a Child Under 18 (Felony) — 2 counts.

Long was arraigned by the Justice of the Peace Court 2 and committed to Sussex Correctional Institution on an $80,000 cash bond, according to police.

The Delaware State Police Troop 4 Youth Aid Unit continues to investigate this incident in conjunction with the Delaware Department of Justice.

Detectives are asking anyone with in-

formation or who may be a victim to please contact Detective R. Mears by calling (302) 752-3809. Information may also be provided by sending a private Facebook message to the Delaware State Police or contacting Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800847-3333.

If you or someone you know is a victim or witness of a crime or have lost a loved one to a sudden death and need assistance, the Delaware State Police Victim Services Unit / Delaware Victim Center is available to offer you support and resources 24 hours a day through a toll-free hotline at 1-800-VICTIM-1 (1-800-842-8461). You may also email the Victim Services Unit at DSP_VictimServicesMail@delaware.gov.

be billions of dollars to raise the bulkheads and the streets. What is the best stewardship approach? We would need local buy-in from the Town of South Bethany for some of the cost-share.”

DEMA officials — including Jennifer Walls, who earlier worked with DNREC on similar projects — said dealing with stormwater, drainage and bay flooding are challenging for local towns. “I was the state coordinator at DNREC and worked with the local communities,” said Walls.

“Our DEMA team, including Phil,

also provides these towns with technical assistance,” said Walls, the DEMA principal planner for recovery and mitigation.

The DEMA programs along with the FMA and BRIC funding are opportunities to battle climate change impact.

“We offer a great resource for those local governments seeking funding. But towns need to get their programs together now and it’s a hard deadline of Feb. 1, 2024, for these funds,” said Walls.

The BRIC funding also added a

source of money for new building codes, or code enforcement, and it’s new.

Delaware coastal towns can take advantage of these funds, she said.

FEMA announced $1.8 billion in funding for the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) and Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) grant programs. These programs help state and local governments address future high-level risks from natural disasters and foster greater community resilience. Delaware will receive a portion of the new FEMA funding.

Cane said it’s not enough to simply move the water elsewhere.

“Maybe the best bet is to elevate some homes for now,” said Cane of shorter-term solutions.

SEDAST continues to be treasured local event The “shoulder months” of fall have seen a ton of new and exciting events take root in the community.

One that has been a stalwart since the mid-1990s has been the Southeastern Delaware Artists Studio Tour (SEDAST) — scheduled to take place this weekend, Nov. 10 and 11, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.

Thirteen art studios in the community will be open to the public, and art-lovers can explore where our local artists “make the magic happen,” as well as have a chance to meet the artists, themselves. It’s a relatively-rare opportunity to peek behind the proverbial curtain to get to know these artists better, and that alone is reason to take advantage of the opportunity.

But there’s also something else afoot here.The artists are doing this to not only gain exposure and thank their patrons and admirers,

but also for a cause — local schools’ art programs.

“It is a tour and a raffle,” said Jennifer Carter, of SEDAST. “Each artist has donated a work of art. Funds raised from the raffle will go to area schools’ art programs.Those who come to the tour can buy a raffle ticket for $5 and they can choose which item that has been donated that they would like to win.”

Guests will also have the opportunity to commission works from the artists during the tour.

For a map of the artists on tour, and where you can find their studios, go the web site at ArtsStudioTour.com.The work ranges from paintings to drawings to blown glass.

There’s a reason SEDAST has stood the test of time and continues to thrive, and it’s due to the talent of the artists. But it also has a great cause attached to it.

Celebrate this weekend by thanking our veterans At some point, they all wrote a check.

No, not the kind my dad all-too often had to write to make up for a broken window yours truly might have caused with an ill-advised line-drive off the bat, or the sort that makes you mumble a zillion curse words as you lift the tiny flag on your mailbox to alert the postal carrier that the vast majority of your money needs to go to someone else now in the form of a bill.

This is more of an idea — or a notion.

There is a group of people out there who at some point made a commitment that Darin J. McCann carried with it a ton of weight.

“A veteran is someone who, at one point in their life wrote a blank check made payable to ‘The United States of America,’ for an amount up to and including their life.”

That quote is attributed to Army veteran José N. Harris, and it definitely defines the stakes for someone who voluntarily puts pen to paper to sign up to join the Armed Forces. Oh, people join for any number of reasons — a desire to escape where they live and see the world, steady work for a young family, a legacy of those in the family who came before them who served, a need to “grow up”... whatever.

The reasons are plentiful, but at the end of the day, the truth remains: When you sign up to join the service, well, you sign up for something much bigger than yourself, and the risk is obvious. Being in the service increases your odds of being put in a dangerous position in order to defend your nation or its interests, and it doesn’t matter if you wanted to see new places or “take out bad guys” — when you’re in, you’re in. And you play an important role.

According to the latest Census numbers, more than 41 million Americans have served this nation’s Armed Forces — including more than 16 million in World War II, alone. The findings also say that as of 2018, there were about 18 million Americans who had served — right around 7 percent of the population.

And, yes, that percentage has decreased significantly. In 1980, the percentage of adult Americans who had served was at 18 percent, according to the Pew Research Center.

“This drop coincides with decreases in active-duty personnel,” reads the report. “Over the past half-century, the number of people on active duty has dropped significantly, from 3.5 million in 1968, during the military draft era, to about 1.4 million (or less than 1 percent of all U.S. adults) in today’s all-volunteer

force. The draft ended in 1973.”

And those numbers make sense. There isn’t a draft that is bringing in people who wouldn’t have normally signed up voluntarily, and the further we get away from the days of 16 million Americans serving during World War II, the more of those brave heroes who are sadly no longer here with us. Want to learn another statistic I came across that I find both telling and a little alarming?

In 1975, 81 percent of the members of the U.S. Senate were veterans, and the highest percentage of Congress who had served was in 1965, when 75 percent of our Congress members were veterans. When this Pew report was released in 2021, there were only 17 percent of lawmakers in both chambers who had served. George W. Bush was our last President who was a veteran, and his father was the last U.S. President to serve in combat.

These are the people who, you know, make super-important decisions regarding our Armed Forces, and all.

But I share these numbers not to cause alarm or to poke at our lawmakers as much as I do to celebrate the men and women who did choose this path. The ones who decided — for whatever personal reason they might have had — to essentially risk their lives for a broader purpose.

Like you. Or me. Or my daughter. Or any of the civilians who get to enjoy a life of relative security because these people made the decision to be the gate-keepers. They signed on to be the ones who go off to scary places at a moment’s notice, to be away from their parents or spouses or children at holidays, to challenge themselves each and every day in order to be... better.

And that’s a huge part of this, right? Pick a branch. Any branch. The leaders are hyper-focused on improvement — of the individual, of the unit, of the whole. Think of it in terms of a football team that practices and prepares tirelessly, as the coaches try to make each individual player better through training and repetition, as that is what makes the unit better.

Only the stakes are coming home alive and vanquishing evil, as opposed to a trophy and new contract.

This is a weekend to celebrate. The United States Marine Corps is celebrating its 248th birthday on Friday, Nov. 10, and the nation pulls together to offer thanks to all of our veterans on Saturday, Nov. 11.

It is a small number — and smaller by the year — of people who sign that contract. They all deserve a nod and a thank-you.

Invisible. That’s how I felt as my family had to overcome the many interruptions thrown at us because of the injuries inflicted on my dad by war.

Even though we lived close to a military base, it seemed no one understood the pain I carried seeing my dad suffer from something that resulted from his dedication to our country. What hurt the most was witnessing the people whose freedom he fought for respond with judgment. I felt alone.

Unfortunately, it’s not just me who has carried this heaviness. Over two million children across the United States feel unheard and overlooked.

What do these children have in common? They all have parents who are wounded, ill, or injured veterans.

For one day every year, America stops to honor veterans and those who actively serve. But, what about the other 364 days of the year? What happens to those who daily brace themselves to face the unknowns that may surface from a family member struggling with mental illness? Consider those who must suffer in silence knowing their peers cannot understand what they deal with.

Although we are not in the same place we were six decades ago regarding our understanding of mental illness in veterans, unfortunately, there is still a stigma attached to the topic. I believe honoring the injured veteran, and supporting the family should go hand in hand. Because whenever a family member signs the dotted line to serve, knowingly or unknowingly, the whole family signs up right along with them. When a veteran is injured, aside from any medical help they may receive, who is their greatest support system? Their family.

And because of the stigma attached to mental health struggles, veteran families often lack the support they desperately need.

The hope is by the end of this piece, you will have a greater understanding of the fight Veterans suffering from unseen wounds must combat every single day. I also hope you will gain insight on the crucial role the family plays in a Veteran’s recovery process, and how important it is for you to reach out to the veteran families in your circle with compassion and support.

The experience of every veteran and his or her family is different. They are like a fingerprint. Some families’ stories may appear to be similar, but each is unique to the warrior and their family.

My story is also my own.

This is my story My dad was deployed in 2013. Near the end of his deployment, he was injured and forced to return home to receive care because the installation he was assigned to was unable to provide the care he needed. The only visible wound was the injury he received in his right leg, and it was assumed that was all.

We lived in California at the time, and although we were ecstatic to have my dad back, we noticed he was exhibiting signs of unwarranted anger, bouts of depression, and heightened anxiety. My mom, who is in the mental health field See FAMILIES page 16

Families Continued from page 15 and had been a Key Spouse in my dad’s unit, knew there was something more going on. As a Key Spouse, she worked alongside my dad’s unit commander providing support to families of deployed members within the unit.

In an effort to get my dad and our family the help we so-desperately needed, mom consulted with his commander regarding my dad’s condition.

After all, that was the role of the unit Key Spouse. Unfortunately, my mom’s legitimate care and concern backfired.

The commander’s response was surprisingly unsupportive. When my dad recovered from his physical injury enough to go back into the office, he was mistreated and ostracized by his superiors. He had gone from being a well-respected Major in the United States Air Force with a promising future to dealing with maltreatment and the success of his career being threatened. Life continued, however, and although we didn’t understand everything that was going on, we began to accept life as it was.

We moved to Virginia in 2015, and thought we could start fresh and new.

All seemed to be fine, that is, until August of 2016, when one unexpected night, my dad suffered a stroke. That was when our already complicated life was turned upside down. Multiple

tests were administered and in addition to the stroke, the doctors found that my dad had a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury), which was tied to his deployment back in 2013. Because of this finding, they were prompted to test for PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) which he was eventually diagnosed with. These multiple diagnoses, which required years of treatment and therapy, led us on a long search to find a new norm in our chaos. We knew from then on, our family would never be the same again.

How mental illness affects veteran families Mental illness is real, especially in wounded Veterans. Due to their combat experiences, invisible wounds such as depression, anxiety, PTSD and TBI are common. Because of my dad’s TBI, there are certain activities he cannot do, and he processes things differently than many people. His combat-induced PTSD can cause setbacks that lead to depression. Some who suffer from these two conditions combined can also exhibit symptoms of mania, if triggered, another possible result of combat experience.

According to NVHS (National Veterans Homeless Support) up to 25 percent, or one in four veterans, suffer from mental illness, as opposed to the national average of one in five Americans. In addition, many don’t have

enough support, leading to feelings of hopelessness, a higher chance of homelessness, and substance abuse.

Another very grave reality is divorce. As recorded in a study by BYU (Brigham Young University), 62 percent of veteran marriages end in divorce.

Without a proper support system, we could lose those who fought to ensure our safety and freedom.

There is also the risk of secondhand PTSD, which many military children face because of the trauma they view their parents struggle through and attempt to overcome every day.

If it had not been for my parents, who fought to have us present in my dad’s care and recovery, I wouldn’t understand my father’s disabilities like I do today. The sad truth is many children are unaware of what is truly going on with their veteran parent.

Sometimes, they go their entire childhood blaming the parent. Although it seems safer to shield the child from what is truly happening, in reality, it can sever the parent-child relationship leading to dire consequences within the family.

Even though it was comforting to have the knowledge that my dad’s depression, anger outbursts, and sudden changes of mood were his condition and not him, I still found it hard coming to terms with the reality that I didn’t know how he would respond at any given moment.

I remember the pain I felt one day when a friend came to my home and bluntly asked, “Why is your dad always so angry?” How could I explain what was happening? How could I tell her these behaviors were not how he normally would respond, and it was a result of his injuries? My friend did not know my dad like I did. Would she really believe me if I told her that his reactions weren’t him? I was at a

loss for words at her blatant question and confused as to how to respond.

Unfortunately, that wouldn’t be the only time I would have to search for a response, endure the side glances, the disapproving looks, or insolent behaviors not only from friends my age but also from adults who didn’t understand. Because of this, there was a time in my life when I remember shutting down. I had no will to live, make friends, or even trust anyone. It was hard suffering alone, watching as my mom struggled to care for my sister and me, and at the same time be a caregiver to my father. Almost more challenging was seeing my younger sister step up to help my family in ways no child should at her young age.

Additionally, the rejection of people who we previously considered our friends, seemed unbearable.

Support makes all the difference The life of the child of a militaryinjured veteran is a hard one, but it doesn’t have to be. The simple act of reaching out, showing them their suffering matters, and they are not invisible makes all the difference.

I truly believe my experience would have been different if more people had a greater understanding of injuries such as TBI and PTSD and lent greater support. Conversely, had I not gone through this experience, I would not be able to write this. I wouldn’t be able to bring attention to the need for greater mental health awareness for veterans and their families.

This Veterans Day, as we honor the wounded, ill, or injured veterans around us, let us also boldly acknowledge the sacrifices their spouses and children make. Let’s take the time to reach out, check in with, and pray for

ARBOR-LYN IS MORE THAN JUST HOME. Locals who live and work in Rehoboth Beach sure know a good thing when they see it, which is why Michelle Long, owner of Salvaged, Willow Marie & Mood Design Studio, chose Arbor-Lyn. This community checked all the boxes for its' sought-after zip code, proximity to downtown Rehoboth, ample amenities, energy-efficient Schell homes and close-knit community feel.

Dreams do come true and that’s my feeling of living in Arbor-Lyn. My neighbors quickly became my best friends and family. Arbor-Lyn is such a diverse, accepting, and loving community! I built my dream home and feel happiest and most at peace here. In addition to having the best neighbors and a beautiful home, the location is AMAZING! I love being within miles of the beach, the best restaurants, shopping, and my small businesses. My son has made great friends in the neighborhood and loves that his school is close to home. If you can live here, do it! This is truly the place.

302-537-4500 DrLoisJames.com 17 Atlantic Ave, Ste. 4 Route 26 • Ocean View (Next to Oceanova)

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 hos-

pitals, 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/.

By Kerin Magill Staff Reporter Local children who wish to write letters to Santa will once again have an official mailbox in which to deposit them, as the arrival of the Santa’s Letters mailbox is almost here.

Santa’s Letters, the charity founded

by Sean and Kristina Malone, which has helped hundreds of local residents around the holidays and throughout the year, will have its annual mailbox arrival festivities on Saturday, Nov. 18 from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The annual holiday party will again be held at 32828 Reba Road, Millville — at the complex where one of the Malones’ businesses, Kristina’s Cakery, is located, along with the Santa’s Letters office.

Sean Malone said the plans for the annual event are coming together and will include, of course, the arrival of the Big Red Mailbox, accompanied by Santa himself, with help from the Millville Volunteer Fire Company.

“There will be vendors there, and games; we’ll be roasting marshmallows, we’ll have fire pits,” Malone said, as well as holiday music from deejay Stevie Jay of Triple B Entertainment.

“Fiona” the food truck from Kristina’s Kitchen, the Malones’ other business in Millville, will be on hand with hot chocolate, Malone said.

Children will be welcome to deposit their letters to Santa in the mailbox as soon as it is removed from the firetruck and assumes its place of honor in the Santa’s Workshop village, which will soon be taking shape on the Reba Road property.

This year, Malone said, a new back-

drop is being added to the village scene thanks to a pair of volunteer painters.

Malone has added something new to the display each year since the couple had the mailbox at their Dagsboro home.

While there is some parking available at the Kristina’s Cakery location, Miken Construction has agreed to allow parking at their lot as well, Malone said.

This year, Santa’s Letters hopes to help bring holiday joy to 300 local children, Malone said last month in preparation for the charity’s annual spaghetti dinner. The Oct. 29 event raised $21,163 — about $8,000 more than last year, Malone said.

He added that 63 businesses as well as family and friends of the organization made donations toward the event, and that the largest prize, a week’s vacation in Orlando, Fla., brought in $2,200.

Mac’s Catering of Millville donated the food for the dinner and Kristina’s Cakery provided the desserts, he said.

Santa’s Letters is still seeking volunteers to help with its seasonal activities, and is also looking for volunteers to dress as super heroes and travel to Nemours Children’s Hospital after the holidays — a new activity the couple has added to their outreach for Delaware families.

Malone said Santa’s Letters is also working with local schools on a number of activities, and is already planning an Easter egg hunt for spring.

For now, he urged local children to drop their letters in Santa’s Mailbox — and for their families to make sure the letters include a return address.

OC Today recently featured an article on HB107 (House Bill 107), the newly enacted law mandating all cooperatives, condominiums, and homeowner’s associations to undergo a professional Reserve Study conducted by a qualified company.

This law aims to safeguard properties against potential asset failures and protect unit owners from costly assessments. For cooperatives and condominiums without a reserve study since October 1, 2018, compliance requires completion by October 1, 2023.

Originally, a minimum of 10% of an association’s annual operating expense was recommended to be set aside in a reserve account. Unfortunately, for many associations, this amount falls short of meeting the necessary maintenance and preservation requirements.

While the short-term costs may pose a burden, the study promises long-term advantages. Property Diagnostics collaborates with properties to establish a fair and equitable approach to raising reserve funds, ensuring proper planning for the future well-being of the property.

HB107 encourages the gradual buildup of reserve funds over time. This allows for a measured increase in association fees, reducing the need for larger one-time assessments, barring unforeseen circumstances.

Although the bill doesn’t currently impose penalties for noncompliance, some lending institutions have denied funding due to inadequate reserves, and property owners have faced challenges in selling.

Clarifications to the article: Associations are granted three years to fund at the recommendation of the reserve study provider. In most cases, associations will need to continue increasing reserve funding annually. The requirement regarding the management of common assets initially valued at a minimum of $10,000 applies only to homeowners’ associations. All condominiums and cooperatives are obligated to undergo a reserve study. It's important to note that Reserve Study laws vary. While Delaware and Virginia share a similar statute requiring a reserve study every 5 years, funding requirements differ significantly. Feel free to call for more information. Homeowners' associations with amenities like pools often face cyclical repair and replacement costs, which can reach substantial figures.

Property Diagnostics, with over 40 years of experience, has been Preserving and Protecting Properties Across America. As proud members of qualifying institutes and board members of APRA, our qualified professionals are ready to guide your association towards a financially stable future. Reserve to Preserve™.

Cordrey Charities, Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids partner for school programs Cordrey Charities, a local nonprofit organization dedicated to educating the public on the many benefits of living among plants, recently partnered with Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids to support their Education Cultivation program.

Through the Charities’ recent dona-

tion of compost from East Coast Garden Center to the Sussex Academy Elementary School, another step was taken toward enabling Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids’ vision of having a vegetable garden in every school in Delaware.

Earlier this year East Coast also partnered with HFHK on a similar donation

for Lewes Elementary School. HFHK currently supports 48 schools throughout Delaware, and 21,000 students participate in their Education Cultivation program.

Many Delaware hunting seasons opening in November Many Delaware hunting seasons are to open or are already open this month, including the popular November general firearm deer season, also known as the shotgun season, which runs from Friday, Nov. 10 through Sunday, Nov. 19, the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) announced today.

Note: Season is closed on Wednesday, Jan. 10, 2024.

• Bobwhite quail: Nov. 20 through Jan. 6, 2024

• Mourning dove (second season split): Nov. 20 through Jan. 31, 2024 • Ring-necked pheasant (male only): Nov. 20 through Feb. 3, 2024 • Cottontail rabbit: Nov. 20 through Feb. 29, 2024 • Canada goose (first season split): Nov. 20 through Nov. 25 *Raccoon and opossum hunting seasons are closed during the November youth/non-ambulatory deer hunt and the November general firearm/shotgun deer season. Special hunting hours for raccoon and opossum during the December antlerless, January handgun/straight-walled pistol-caliber rifle, January general firearm/shotgun and January muzzleloader deer seasons are 7 p.m. until midnight.

Deaf Fest to celebrate ASL, culture

By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter Delaware Deaf Fest ’23, a celebration of Deaf culture and American Sign Language, will be at The Hope Center on the Mariner’s Bethel Global Methodist Church campus on Saturday, Nov. 11.

Free and open to the public, the area’s first event dedicated to the deaf and hard of hearing, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., will feature food vendors, deafthemed craft activities for children, a deaf mime performer, American Sign Language mini-classes, a silent auction with items donated by area businesses, a bake sale and presentations and videos on Deaf culture.

Originally scheduled for Sept. 23, the festival was canceled due to a storm.

“We wanted to reschedule it soon to keep the excitement and momentum going. We are so thankful that Mariner’s Bethel church was able to make the beautiful Hope Center available to us again on this new date so we can showcase the richness of American Sign Language and Deaf culture to a wide audience,” said organizer Barbara White, adding it will be a rain or shine event.

American Sign Language interpreters will be available to facilitate conversations between those who know sign language and those who are unfamiliar with it.

“Deaf Fest ‘23 will provide a unique opportunity to interact with deaf residents and vendors, learn some American Sign Language and gain an appreciation for deaf culture,” White said, describing it as “a high energy and

enjoyable event.”

The festival is designed to embrace the conceptualization of deaf gain, so that instead of seeing deafness as a loss it is viewed as a positive aspect of human diversity, she said.

Allen Talbert, president of Delaware Deaf Senior Citizens, and Barbara Simpson, chairwoman of Deaf Fest, will give opening remarks.

J.J. Jones, an internationally known deaf mime, will perform, as well as other deaf artists.

Artisans will sell paintings, quilts, fabric art and ceramics. Kristina’s Kitchen and Rita’s Ice food trucks will be there and there will be a bake sale.

In the children’s craft room, the South Coastal Library will provide materials to make buttons with a Deaf culture theme and hand out grab-and-go craft kits. About 30 vendors are ex-

pected.

There will be four, half-hour introductory American Sign Language classes throughout the day and short videos on Deaf culture.

Beebe Healthcare will have its mobile clinic there and the Millville Fire Department will have a firetruck on display. Details, and a schedule of events, are at https://delawaredeafsc.org/ The Ocean View Police Department will direct traffic, provide public safety and first aid information, offer demonstrations and introduce Leo, a golden retriever and one of two new police K9s.

Proceeds from the event will support deaf and hard of hearing students in Delaware schools For further information, e-mail to deldeaffest@gmail.com.

County begins food drive for Caroling event Sussex County is counting on the community’s “can do” spirit to count up thousands of canned goods for the hungry this holiday season.

Sussex County government this week kicks off its yearly food drive for community food banks and will celebrate that effort during the annual Caroling on The Circle event, set for a new date and time this year, beginning at 6 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 7, in downtown Georgetown. New this year, Caroling on The Circle will serve as the lead-in to the Town of Georgetown’s tree lighting and the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce’s annual Christmas parade, making for one big night of holiday merriment in the County seat.

Each year, the community singing event doubles as a food drive for hungry families in Sussex County, drawing

hundreds of residents — along with the support of area schools, businesses and civic organizations — who turn out to sing Christmas carols and collect canned goods for area pantries, churches and food banks.

The food drive begins now and runs through the end of December.

In 2022, the food drive collected nearly 20,000 items for more than a dozen-and-a-half organizations.

County officials aim to collect as many or more this year, teaming up with the Chamber and others by encouraging businesses, schools, civic organizations, and the general public to do their part to “Pack the Pod” — a 14-foot by 7-foot portable storage shed that will be set up at The Circle — with food items for local food pantries. Since its inception in the 1980s, Caroling on The Circle

has raised nearly 800,000 items for local food pantries.

County Administrator Todd F. Lawson said Caroling on The Circle is a fixture on the holiday calendar, one that many in the public look forward to each year. He added the County wanted to keep the giving tradition moving forward, but with a new twist this year.

Hence, the partnership with the Chamber in 2023 with hopes of reaching a wider audience, and boosting the overall haul of food donations from generous contributors.

“Our hope is this is an evening full of holiday cheer, one that literally fills the cupboards of our local pantries,” Mr. Lawson said. “The Christmas spirit is displayed in no greater way than by lending a helping hand to those less fortunate, and we’re excited at the chance

Thank You!

To all of our supporters for making Cops and Goblins a success

we have this year with Caroling on The Circle and the Georgetown Christmas parade to really make a difference in people’s lives during the holiday season.”

As always, the historic Sussex County Courthouse and picturesque Circle will serve as the backdrop for an evening of traditional and Spanish carols. WBOC TV on-air personality Jason Lee will emcee this year’s festivities, which will feature local singing artists Kevin Short and Ed Shockley. Also joining in the performances will be the El Centro Cultural group.

All of the evening’s events are free to attend; participants are asked to bring non-perishable food items for donation during Caroling on The Circle.

Food items will be collected that night at the pod on The Circle, but donations can be dropped off from now until the end of December at the County Administrative Offices building, next to the courthouse, in Georgetown. Receptacles will be available outside the County complex, allowing the public to make drop-offs 24 hours a day throughout the holiday season. Staff will routinely collect items and “Pack the Pod” before delivering food to pantries.

Delmarva Christian announces building plans Delmarva Christian Schools, committed to providing excellent Christian education, is delighted to announce the resounding success of the Stronger Together campaign’s kickoff event held on Oct. 12, 2023. The gathering marked the official launch of a transformative vision — a Pre-K to Grade 12 one campus model in Georgetown designed to unify two campuses into a single location.

The Oct. 12 banquet was a momentous occasion for the Delmarva Christian Schools community and its dedicated supporters. At the heart of the evening was a vision, one that cultivates growth while deepening the school’s impact on the Delmarva community. The event brought together over 300 guests and garnered support from 36 generous sponsors. In recognition of the collective dedication to

Christian education and the school’s mission, Delmarva Christian Schools extends heartfelt gratitude to all who contributed to the banquet’s resounding success.

The central theme of the evening was unity — which underscored the idea that uniting as one community fortifies Delmarva Christian Schools and amplifies its ability to advance its mission to prepare students spiritually, academically, and physically to know and do God’s will in their lives.

“It has been an absolute honor to see God’s faithfulness to Delmarva Christian through the planning and fundraising efforts of this campaign. To raise more than $20 million dollars in a year’s time is truly a miracle,” Justin Savini, Director of Advancement, “This project is the result of incredible faith and obe-

dience for the purpose of impacting students for generations to come. We cannot wait to see how God uses this One Campus model to fulfill the mission and vision of DCS. God’s fingerprints are all over this Delmarva Christian story and we are so grateful to everyone in the community past and present who are helping us provide excellent Christian education.”

As the Stronger Together campaign progresses, community support and involvement are integral to its success.

Having already raised over $20 million of its $30 million goal, the campaign includes a $5 million dollar match challenge and ambitious building plans.

These plans encompass the construction of a new Middle and High School, the addition of a Middle School gym, an Early Learning Center, and an auditorium, totaling 90,000 square feet dedicated to serving students from PreK-12.

This endeavor paves the way for future growth, ensuring an impact on the Delmarva community through excellence in Christian education.

LET’S TALK! Got Behavioral Problems?

AKC Canine Good Citizen Group & Private Classes • Positive Reinforcement

Matt Kwiatkowski, Head of Schools at Delmarva Christian, reflects on the project, “We at DCS have been so incredibly blessed by Jesus! As we focus on this building project, it has become obvious that we are to hold-fast to the past, to be present in the current, and continue building for the future. Jesus has shown His providential and sovereign nature through special milestones in our first 20 years, and so, we hold onto them as rocks of remembrance of who He is and what He can do. We, along with our many community members, are simply seeking to be good stewards of what He has given us so that these next generations can share Jesus’ truth in love, no matter their next steps post-graduation.”

For those who were unable to attend the banquet and wish to learn more about the Stronger Together campaign or how to support Delmarva Christian Schools, additional information can be found on the school’s website at www.delmarvachristian.org/strongertogether.

Bombay Hook Visitors Center showcases marsh

By Mike Smith Staff Reporter Bombay Hook is a global birdwatching destination with its eight miles of saltwater marshland and tidal pools near the Delaware Bay providing a perfect habitat for migratory birds and nature’s yearly flyover stop for many species. Last week, a $5.6 million new visitors center was heralded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Sen. Tom Carper and dignitaries who joined from state and local environmental agencies for a ribbon cutting.

“The new center will bring together students, families, and visitors from all over to witness Delaware’s natural beauty — doing everything from bird watching to learning about our tidal marsh to even seeing a bald eagle in the wild,” said Carper. “This project was possible thanks to the bipartisan Great American Outdoors Act, which fully funded the Land and Water Conservation Fund. The Great American Outdoors Act also provided $9.5 billion to fix backlogged maintenance projects and help ensure that all Americans have safe and easy access to our public lands.

I proudly supported this legislation in the Senate, as it has made and continues to make much-needed investments across our public lands.”

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Martha Williams brought good luck to the event on Oct. 27 by sharing a praying mantis that came to alight on her shirt.

“We ask our biologists what they need to do their work,” said Williams in announcing the new visitors center with space for research. The biology team is moving from a corrugated metal shed to the new pristine facility with lab space.

“We may not highlight our coastal marsh and wetlands programs enough,”

Ocean View CHEER to host Holiday Bazaar The CHEER Coastal Leisure Center in Ocean View is hosting a Holiday Bazaar on Friday, Dec. 1, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Arts and crafts, jewelry, textiles, Lucky Draw, 50/50, bake sale items, a White Elephant table and lunch will be available. The public is being invited to find their perfect holiday gifts. There is no admission fee.

Call Yolanda at (302) 539-2671 to reserve a vendor table. The cost is $20 for non-members or $10 for CHEER members, staff and volunteers.

admitted Williams in talking about the behind-the-scenes effort to save endangered species like the red knot and the saltmarsh sparrow.

Kate Toniola, a project leader for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Prime Hook refuge manager, started out her career as a ranger in Patuxent, Md. She has also worked in refuge management in Hawaii and now is back managing both Prime Hook and Bombay Hook from the Service’s Smyrna, Del. office. “I am really excited to get this space opened,” said Toniola. “It will allow us to have more educational and interactive programs for students and visitors.”

The new visitor’s center is 7,300 square feet, which is nearly double the old visitor’s center, built nearly 45 years ago in 1980. Another improvement will

be space for the gift shop, operated by a volunteer group — the Friends of Bombay Hook.

Wendi Weber, the northeast regional office director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, joined the event to celebrate the opening.

“I have been with the Service for 24 years now, and we have been waiting for a more modern exhibit and work space to showcase the amazing natural resources here at Bombay Hook,” said Weber. “We are also planning a new visitors center at Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge.”

“We want to connect all Americans to nature,” said Williams. “The Great American Outdoors Act and Senator Carper which has provided an overall investment of $95 million annually for our work. We were able to pull together

this beautiful center, which is a new, green facility and LEED certified building, and makes us even more sustainable as a Service.

“This place and Bombay Hook will be a global destination for birding,” she added. “We also have some new trails here and more programs provided for hiking, enjoying nature and tourism.”

Bombay Hook NWR is 16,250 preserved acres of which most is tidal salt marsh. It is primarily a refuge and breeding ground for migratory birds.

Bombay Hook refuge will be closed for deer hunting and harvesting on Nov. 15, and again on Dec. 13.

SEDAST featuring 13 local art studios

By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter Those who appreciate art, and enjoy seeing artists as they create, can take a free, self-guided tour of 13 Sussex County studios with the popular Southeastern Delaware Artists Studio Tour (SEDAST) on Saturday, Nov. 11, and Sunday, Nov. 12, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.

Studios are in towns including Ocean View, Bethany Beach and Dagsboro. See details at www.ArtStudioTour.com “It is a tour and a raffle. Each artist has donated a work of art. Funds raised from the raffle will go to area schools’ art programs. Those who come to the tour can buy a raffle ticket for $5 and they can choose which item that has been donated that they would like to win,” said Jennifer Carter, one of the participating artists.

Works will be for sale and guests can commission works during the tour.

Among artists will be those who paint, draw or blow glass.

“Children are welcome. We get a lot of parents and grandparents. They have a lot of questions about the processes, the type of work we do, our past, how we got into this particular art form.

They don’t just come and see a gallery.

It’s us in our space where we create.

These are our creative spaces. We love for people to ask questions,” Carter said, adding this year’s tour will be the 27th annual.

“Some of us are founding members.

It began in the mid-1990s to benefit and raise awareness for local schools’ art programs, so it’s for kids.

“As an artist, I’ve been doing this since I was a little kid. I just found a painting from when I was in kindergarten that my mother kept. It’s a big red outline of a face with a huge smile and a hand waving. It was me. I was doing a self-portrait. Big red paint.

“It’s very important for kids.

“The schools should be given more money for art programs. Art is so important for children, for their development as a person and educationally. It is just so important,” she said.

Local artist Ellen Rice works on one of her works-in-progress. Rice is just one of the featured artists/studios on the tour.

VFW Post 7234 Auxiliary to host Breakfast with Santa VFW Post 7234 Auxiliary will hold a “Breakfast with Santa” on Sunday, Dec. 17, 2023, from 9 a.m. until noon, at the VFW Post, located at 29265 Marshy Hope Way, in Ocean View.

Breakfast will be served at 9:15 am.

A free pancake breakfast will be provided to families with children 12 and under (maximum 2 adults per family).

The children will have a chance to meet Santa in a Christmas-themed atmosphere, and Santa will have personalized gifts for the children.

Due to space limitations, and to give Santa’s helpers time to shop for requested items, reservations must be made by Dec. 2 via e-mail at cindyvfwaux7234@yahoo.com.

Please provide the number of adults (maximum of two) accompanying the children, and list each child’s name, age and three suggested gifts the child would enjoy ($10-20 price range).

Santa’s helpers will make every effort to get the one of the suggested gifts, but will substitute if they are unable to accommodate the child’s wish. Santa plans to greet the child by name, give the child a wrapped gift and pose for pictures.

This is a free event, but we are accepting donations for two charities: food-pantry items for local pantries/church in the community, and C.A.S.H. (Canines Assisting Service

Heroes) — an organization to help Delaware Veterans in need of a service dog obtain one. They are collecting doggie poop bags and Greenie (medium/large) chews. You can also go on their site for other donations.

About the VFW Post/Auxiliary: The VFW Auxiliary is one of the nation’s oldest veterans’ service organizations and our members are the relatives of those who have served in overseas combat.

They have more than 470,000 members representing all 50 states who volunteer millions of hours and give millions of dollars to support veterans, military service personnel and their families.

They are a voice for veterans on Capitol Hill and are instrumental in assisting the VFW pass or block legislation that impacts veterans and their families. They are one of the top 10 providers of volunteer hours in the VA medical system. Every year, members fundraise millions of dollars for charitable projects that benefit veterans and their families. They also provide hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships for our nation’s youth. With nearly 3,800 Auxiliaries, there is likely one in your area working to improve the lives of America’s uncommon heroes. Learn more at www.vfwauxiliary.org.

Millsboro’s Davis finishes Cold War trilogy Coastal Point • Submitted

Millsboro resident, veteran and author, Jeremiah Davis, recently finished his Cold War trilogy of novels.

Millsboro resident and veteran Jeremiah Davis recently published the final installment in his trilogy of novels set at remote Army Security Agency (ASA) listening posts in West Germany during the Cold War. Few people outside the Intelli-

gence Community knew about these outposts because their operations were highly classified.

The first two books in the trilogy, Snow Mountain Misfits and Border Site Summer, are fictionalized accounts of the

author’s experiences at small mountaintop ASA detachments in Bavaria where he served as a linguist and radio intercept operator in the mid-1960s. The final book, A Borderline Case, takes the reader to the Bavarian Forest in May 1975 where ASA and Air Force signals intelligence operatives monitor Soviet and Czechoslovak military entities across the nearby German-Czech border.

A National Security Agency analyst is temporarily assigned to the outpost for a special project; however, he has a secondary mission of surveilling a suspected communist agent who operates a café in the village where the American detachment is based. The NSA civilian unexpectedly reunites with an old Army friend, a disillusioned chaplain on medical leave, who is convalescing at the village church where he hopes to regain his faith and sense of purpose. The emotionally shattered priest had been among the final evacuees from Saigon when it fell to the communists a month earlier. He had witnessed the horrific Operation Babylift plane crash that killed 138 people, including 78 Vietnamese orphans and the young woman he loved. The analyst and the chaplain renew their friendship and encounter incidents of drug trafficking, illicit sex and attempted suicide, while assessing the threat posed by the suspected agent.

ASA was a shadowy organization that recruited the brightest of Army enlistees into its ranks of linguists, intelligence analysts, and technicians from late 1945 until it was absorbed into the Army’s Intelligence and Security Command at the end of 1976. Many recruits were college

dropouts or flunk-outs. Most were reluctant soldiers who volunteered for ASA instead of risking being drafted into the infantry. Although their mission on the border was sensitive, the young Americans assigned to these sites lived and worked in a lifestyle that might be compared to M*A*S*H, with a dash of Animal House and a bit of Catch-22.

Military discipline was lax, and alcohol and immaturity often led to incidents that would strain the credulity of by-thebook soldiers.

The author gives the reader a peek behind the curtain of secrecy that screened the men of these ASA detachments from the “real” Army. Women joined their ranks in the early 1970s and dealt with challenges described in Davis’ latest book.

His novels are an entertaining addition to literature about Cold War military intelligence. All three books are available on Amazon.com and from Caprichos Books in Ocean Pines.

Jeremiah Davis is a retired Department of Defense senior intelligence officer and a veteran of nearly seven years active duty in ASA. He is a long-time member of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers (AFIO) and American Legion Post 28 Oak Orchard/Riverdale.

He and his wife Dorothy have been married for 56 years and have resided fulltime near Millsboro since 2008.

She was a woman of faith and a true leader in this community.

Her family was very important to her, and she especially loved spending time with her grandsons.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her beloved husband, George Young, and two sisters, Anne Crawford and Patricia Wareham. She is survived by a son, David Young and his wife, Katie; two grandsons, Taylor Young and his wife, Amber and Rob Young.

Indian River’s Dominic Delaney, above left, leaps and lands on the back of Newark Charter’s Mohamed Adam Abdel Moneim while chasing a loose ball during the first round of the DIAA State Soccer Tournament on Tuesday, Nov. 7. Indian River won the game 3-0. IR’s Jeremiah Dennis, above right, hits the ball with his head next to Newark Charter’s Krish Shajpaul.

Chester, Kelley lead IR to opening round playoff win

By Mike Stern Staff Reporter The final 10 minutes would not be an issue.

The top two leading scorers at Indian River High made sure of that.

Junior Leo Chester scored his second goal of the game with 10 minutes left in regulation. Two minutes later, junior Deny Cruz-Bonilla added his first of the night to help the 5th-ranked

Indians post a 3-0 victory over Newark Charter in a DIAA opening round Division 2 showdown at Indian River High School on Tuesday, Nov. 7.

The triumph sent 9-4-3 IRHS to Caravel Academy this Saturday, Nov. 11 for a 5 p.m. opening kick against fourth-ranked Brandywine. The 10-4-1 Bulldogs earned a first-round bye in the 12-team tournament.

The late two-goal explosion enabled the Indians to avoid surrendering a

game-tying or winning goal in the final 10 minutes of regulation, something that befell them four times during a mid-season span.

IR’s offensive outburst was preceded

by Newark Charter’s non-stop 30minute attempt to score the equalizer.

The 12th seeded Patriots (6-7-3) forced junior goalkeeper Kai Kelley to make 10 saves. They also generated three outstanding scoring chances in the final 10 minutes of regulation.

“There was a back and forth transition the entire game,” said Kelley, who earned his eighth shutout of the season and the 17th clean sheet of his IR career. “Their free kicks from a distance were being taken by their goalkeeper (senior Jackson Laznik), which were effective because that gave them an extra player in the box.”

The Indians played aggressively and See SOCCER page 59

Soccer Continued from page 58 put up a wall in front of their ‘keeper.

“The boys did play very aggressively,” said head coach Brandt Mais. “You could feel their energy and desire to win the match.

“Kai has been a rock for our defense this year,” the coach added. “The shutout says it all for him.”

Indian River grabbed a 1-0 lead at the six-minute mark when Chester retrieved the ball deep in the Patriots’ defensive zone and outraced a defender before cutting across and booting the ball past Laznik for his 10th goal of the season.

“It was a classic Leo Chester goal that we’ve seen frequently this season,” said Mais. “He scored early, which was a great way to set the tone for the game.

Chester’s second marker of the match and 12th of the season gave IR a 2-0 lead in the 70th minute. After the ball was passed back to Laznik by a Patriots’ teammate, Indians’ sophomore Pablo Arias aggressively pressed the goalkeeper. Pablo’s pressure forced an error that sent the ball to the foot of Chester, who instinctively kicked the sphere into an empty net.

“That was an impressive one-time finish, a difficult shot that Leo completed with ease,” said Mais.

Crandell cruises to another Henlopen Conference XC crown

By Jason Feather Staff Reporter Brynn Crandell and winning have become synonymous on the Delaware high school cross country circuit. She is well known up and down the First State for dominating the competition in every event she competes in. She has been virtually untouchable, if we are being honest.

The Indian River High School product can now put her name down in the record books for another incredible individual feat. The senior was more than a minute better than her closest competitor last week in the Henlopen Athletic Conference Cross Country Championship meet at Sandhill Fields. She crossed the finish line in 17:32.3, which was a pace of 5:32 per mile.

“Definitely feels great to have a record like that within the conference,” Crandell said after the race. “I hope as a whole our conference continues to grow, and we can be taken seriously on a state level soon.”

Crandell has had to challenge herself every time out because no one has really gotten close to her. Sussex Academy’s Paige Ballinger, who could step into Crandell’s shoes next year, finished in second place. The Seahawks’ 8th grader See CRANDELL page 66

Indian River uses ground attack to mow down Conrad

By Mike Stern Staff Reporter

Another strong f irst half start

The Green & Gold excavation crew devoured more real estate in northern Delaware.

Indian River’s impressive combination of outstanding blocking and a highlight reel ground game combined for 358 rushing yards and five touchdowns by land in a 34-8 victory over Conrad School in Wilmington last Friday night, Nov. 3.

This encore performance followed the Indians’ 42-7 triumph on Oct. 27 when they ran for 398.5 rushing yards and five touchdown runs to clear the way for a 42-7 victory over host St. Andrew’s.

The Indians’ third consecutive one-sided Class 1A, District 2 success enabled them to clinch their third straight DIAA playoff berth.

“Our guys went to Conrad on another business trip again after having another good week of practice, and the guys were focused all week,” said Indians’ head coach Phil Townsend after his team recorded its second three-game winning streak of this season. “They got it done on both sides of the ball as well as on special teams.”

For the third consecutive week, the Indians (4-2 district, 6-3 overall) jumped out to an impressive first half lead.

Sophomore tailback Darnell Stokes exploded for a 46-yard TD run to give IR a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter. Fellow sophomore rusher Davon Handy made it 14-0 late in the opening stanza with a 58-yard scoring scamper, his fifth rushing six-pointer of the season. The “Handy Man” finished with a career high 100 rushing yards on seven touches.

Junior tailback Jayvion Chandler scored twice in the second quarter on runs of one and 38 yards to give the Indians a 28-0 halftime lead. Chandler finished with 140 yards on 18 carries, including his team-leading 11th touchdown of the season.

Stokes finished IR’s scoring in the fourth quarter with a five-yard touchdown run, his sixth in the last three games. He finished the game with 94 yards on four rushes and has run for eight touchdowns on the season.

“We have four explosive runners — Chandler, Stokes, Handy and sen-

ior Rashad Hopkins,” said Townsend.

“Whenever any of those guys touch the ball, anything can happen. The offensive line continues to get better each week, and the running backs do a good job blocking for each other.”

Sophomore quarterback Dylan Grise did another superb job of seamlessly guiding the offense, which consumed 403 yards of total offense.

Grise completed four of 11 passes for 45 yards and an interception. Senior tight end Bryce Johnson caught two of Grise’s aerials for 15 yards.

Defensively, Hopkins recorded a quarterback sack while senior Collin King contributed 11 tackles and freshman Ty Weber made five stops.

The “bend but don’t break” defense allowed 235 yards of total offense and was nearing its second shutout of the campaign until Conrad scored with less than two minutes left in the fourth quarter.

Red Wolves’ junior quarterback Gabriel Welsh’s five-yard toss to junior wide receiver Gabriel Stoppel and Welsh’s two-point conversion toss to junior wide receiver Nyaire Coleman provided Conrad with some measure of satisfaction.

Indians host FSMA for Senior Night The Indians finished their regular season schedule when they hosted First State Military Academy on Thursday, Nov. 9, beginning at 6 p. m. A victory will have enhanced their postseason ranking.

“FSMA is a good team that has had some big wins this season against powerful opponents,” said Townsend. “They have a new coach and he has done a good job. Defensively, we have to limit big plays and slow down their big running backs. Offensively we need to sustain blocks and let our playmakers do the rest.”

Indian River entered the final week of the regular season with a 4-2 won-lost mark in District 2 competition. They were tied with 4-2 First State Military Academy and Brandywine, trailed 5-1 Polytech, and were ahead of 3-3 St. Andrew’s, 2-4 Seaford and Conrad, and 0-6 Early College.

In each of the two Class 1A districts, there is the potential of up to four schools for a total of eight that will earn playoff berths. Schools in Class 1A, District 1 vying for playoff positioning are 5-1 Tatnall, 4-2 Wilmington Charter and St. Elizabeth and 3-3 Glasgow and McKean are in the thick of the playoff race.

Schrider to be inducted into IRHS Soccer HOF

By Mike Stern Staff Reporter You could sense the humility and pride from the e-mail that emanated from halfway across the globe.

That is where Richard Schrider is currently serving a two-year term as a Judge Advocate General senior attorney for one of the U. S. Air Force’s airlift and support wings in the Pacific Theater.

“It is a tremendous honor to be inducted into the Indian River Soccer

Hall of Fame,” wrote Schrider (Indian River ‘’97), the 2023 inductee into the school’s soccer Hall of Fame. “The Indian River program was a big part of my childhood. I am humbled to have my name listed among so many people whom I love and respect. Soccer helped me develop as a student-athlete and as a leader. To this day, I still value strong teamwork.”

Schrider’s induction into the IRHS Soccer Hall of Fame is scheduled for Saturday afternoon, Nov. 25, at the River Soccer clubhouse in Frankford.

The ceremony will be held at approximately 2:30 p.m., immediately following the IRHS alumni soccer game that kicks off at 1 p. m. The match will be open to all female and male players who are IRHS alumni and current soccer student athletes.

Schrider, who remains on assignment in Japan, will not attend the ceremony.

A starter from the start Schrider played varsity soccer his freshman season in the fall of 1993

through his senior year in the fall of 1996. The three-year captain earned All Henlopen Conference kudos three times and All State honors twice. The 5-foot-9 native of Oak Ridge, Tenn., also helped the Indians capture three consecutive Southern Division championships from 1994 through 1996.

“I consider myself fortunate to have coached Richard Schrider at Indian River High School,” said Duncan Smith, the former IRHS soccer head See SCHRIDER page 64

SMS cross country team finishes inaugural season Selbyville Middle School’s firstever Cross Country team ran to a successful inaugural season this year.

Each runner decreased their race time and race-pace time at every race this year, according to Head Coach Justin Stoeckel. They had three runners on the boys’ team finish in the top 100 out of 391 runners at the Central Delaware Championships at Killen’s Pond on Nov. 1. The girls team also had three runners finish in the top 100 out of 315 runners, with Selbyville’s top girl, Athena Fleming-Lloyd, a sixth-grader, finishing 32nd. Stoeckel said he was excited with this year’s group, and that they return 19 of the 22 runners for next year’s team.

“We can only grow from here,” he said.

Salute to the IRHS Seniors Luke Veirs accepts challenge of playing soccer at IR

By Mike Stern Staff Reporter

with a target on our backs. Every team we play gives us their all. And if we aren’t 100-percent focused, we may get caught off guard and get scored on or lose.

“The challenge that we face is not physical, it’s mental because we must always be thinking and staying focused all the time,” he added. “And when we meet and overcome the challenges, that’s when this game is so fulfilling.”

Veirs said he feeds off a process that enables his team to move the ball upfield before sticking the sphere in the back of the net. “It’s particularly exciting when our team finally scores a goal in a close game and celebrates with each other,” Veirs added. “That means all the hard work is paying off.”

He is convinced that rivals see a bullseye on his uniform.

And on the backs of his soccer teammates.

Senior defender Luke Veirs believes every team that competes against the vaunted Indian River High boys’ soccer side have a strong desire to defeat the highly-regarded squad. That includes each Henlopen Conference foe, as well as every nonconference squad from Delaware, Virginia and Maryland.

“Being a soccer player at Indian River High is so challenging because everyone wants to beat us,” said the 5-foot-7 team captain. “We play Coastal Point • Submitted

IQ. “He developed some impressive tools during his experience as a travel team player at a time when few, if any, travel team players were part of the school’s soccer program,” added Smith. “He was named as a captain during his sophomore, junior and senior seasons, not necessarily because of what he added to the scoresheet, but because of his leadership on the field. “ According to Schrider, the memories of his playing days at IR are numerous.

“There are plenty of games and individual moments from matches that bring a smile to my face,” said the resident of Alexandria, Va. “But my favorite memory is the camaraderie that our teams had during the course of those years playing together. We had some great groups.”

Schrider’s older brother Matt played football and baseball, while older sister Mary competed on the tennis court at Indian River.

After graduating from IR, Richard studied and played varsity soccer at West Chester University, and at the University of Delaware.

He earned his law degree at Villanova University Law School and currently holds the rank of lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Air Force. He has served as a Congressional legislative counsel, as well as a staff judge advocate.

“I’d just like to say ‘thank you’ to the Indian River High soccer program, and to all of the great friends and teammates who I had the opportunity to play with,” said Schrider. “I’m really proud to see the great teams and players emerging from the program.”

Incredible speed supports the offensive As an Indians’ outside back, Veirs performs with incredible speed. His swiftness “allows us to fly down the flank to attack,” said Indian River Soccer Head Coach Brandt Mais.

November 10, 2023

Brandywine Creek State Park in Winterthur. Crandell will be looking to add her third straight DIAA state title to her impressive medal and trophy count, which would also be a school record.

“I’m trying to look at it as just another meet (on Saturday) so I don’t psych myself out,” she admitted. “The weather is predicted to be nice, so I am trying to make time my main goal. A state title

would be a great addition to that.”

While this would be her last DIAAsanctioned event, Crandell still has more on her individual schedule coming up that she has her sights set on.

“I still have two races on the (Nov.) 19th (Nike Southeast Regionals) and the (Nov.) 25th (Footlocker Northeast Regionals), so it isn’t the absolute last race, but it will definitely be emotional given it

will be my last high school cross country state meet,” she said. “I’m trying to not put too much pressure on myself because in the grand scheme of things, this will be just one race in a career of races both in my past and my future. Overall, I am really excited for this weekend and my regional races, and anxious to see how things shake out.”

“Luke dribbles at a pace that makes him dangerous on the overlap. He also balances his attacking skills with the ability to defend bravely. He’s not afraid to back down from any challenge, and he has the pace to track down any dangerous opposing forward.”

Mais also complimented Veirs on his leadership skills. “He is always willing to play any position to help the team,” said Mais. “In some games, we’ve needed him to step up and play

center back. He is a team captain who leads by example. He doesn’t give up and is willing to fight when things get rough.”

with each other and help each other grow,” said Luke, a resident of Dagsboro. “I can always depend on Cole to make big plays. We both motivate each other. We are always on the same page and we think similarly.”

The twins have helped the Indians compile a 32-10-6 won-lost-tied record heading into their opening round game against Newark Charter on Tuesday, Nov. 7. They have helped the team win a Henlopen Conference post season title and two Southern Division crowns. They went 11-4-1 after reaching the DIAA quarterfinals in 2021, losing to Delmar. Last season they were 13-2-2 after reaching the semifinals, where they lost in penalty kicks to St. Mark’s.

In 2022, they helped the Indians set a school record by posting shutouts in their first eight consecutive matches and finishing with nine clean sheets.

Luke prides himself on always pursuing growth and improvement in his game. “That’s what enables you to accept and implement new ideas, to be coachable,” he said. “These are all skills that have helped me become a leader. I know that if I lead by example, my teammates will follow.”

A competitive surfer, Luke also plays for the Indians’ boys’ lacrosse team during the spring season.

“Soccer and lacrosse are very similar,” he said. “But for me, there are also some differences. I’ve played soccer all my life and have a great deal of experience playing that sport. With regard to lacrosse, I just started playing as a sophomore two years ago. I find soccer less physically demanding but more mentally challenging. In lacrosse, you tend to get whacked by an opposing player’s stick.”

In addition to starring on the soccer and lacrosse fields, Luke also excels in the classroom. He has earned All Henlopen Conference All Academic honors each year. He also earned First Team All-Conference honors as a senior and Honorable Mention kudos as a junior.

Luke, who is still considering which college he will attend beginning next fall, appreciates the support he receives from his family.

“They make it possible for me to play at a high level,” he said. “They motivate me, and I feel like I honor them with my hard work and achievements.”
