Walsh withdraws from Ocean View mayoral race By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter Ocean View Town Councilman and mayoral candidate Don Walsh has withdrawn his name from the ballot, narrowing the candidates for mayor to two, former councilman Tom Maly and resident Randy Robust. Maly and Robust, competing for the seat held by Mayor John Reddington for two three-year terms, will answer
Incumbents lead voting in Millville council election The votes are in: Following the Saturday, March 7, town council election, Millville Town Council incumbents Ronald Belinko and Deborah Sosnoski have been re-elected. Sosnoski, a resident of Millville By the Sea, was the top vote-getter with 295, followed by Belinko, a resident of of Bishop’s Landing, with 263. Challenger Jean Hanley, a resident of Parkside, received 172 votes. In all, 403 voters cast ballots in the March 7 election. Belinko is currently serving as Millville’s mayor. Sosnoski is the town council secretary. They will be sworn in for their new terms at the next Millville Town Council meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, March 24, at 7 p.m. The council will also choose its officers for the coming year — mayor, vice mayor, secretary and treasurer — at the March 24 meeting.
questions and meet residents at a Sussex County League of Women’s Voters forum at 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 26, at the Community Center on West Avenue. Reddington is not eligible to run for re-election this year, as the town has a limit of two consecutive terms as mayor. This week, Walsh told the Coastal Point he did not want to comment about the change “at this time.” Town Clerk Donna Schwartz confirmed he
withdrew “for personal reasons” but will remain on the council. His term expires in April of 2027. “I’m sad to see him go. I was on the council with him for several years. He is a very good councilperson,” Maly said of Walsh’s withdrawal from the mayor race. Robust had no comment. After filing to run for mayor in February, Walsh placed an advertisement in the Coastal Point, stating that he decided to run “so I can continue to be in-
volved and work to keep the town on its positive course in regard in safety, sense of community and maintaining our infrastructure, all of which help to support our strong property values.” “If given the opportunity to serve as mayor of Ocean View, I’ll be willing to listen and continue to take a hard look at opportunities and challenges, trying See WALSH page A3

Millville hears from State Police at annual meeting By Kerin Magill Staff Reporter At their annual meeting with Millville citizens on Tuesday, March 10, Delaware State Police representatives highlighted crime statistics in Millville and addressed concerns following recent comments at an Ocean View Town Council meeting about the Ocean View
Police Department responding to calls in Millville. The Town of Millville, which does not have its own police department, contracts with the Delaware State Police for 40 hours of coverage per week. Capt. Gerard Windish Jr., commander of Delaware State Police Troop 4 in Georgetown, told the packed meeting room that Millville, by and large,
has a very low crime rate, calling 2026 a “fantastic year,” in terms of goals met in a variety of areas for Troop 4 overall. Windish said state police responded to 24 “core crimes” in Millville in 2025. That category would include violent crimes, assaults or endangering, sexual offenses, burglary, arson and hatecrimes. “You live in a very, very safe commu-
nity,” Windish told the residents. Overall, Troop 4’s activities across its jurisdiction in 2025 showed several areas of concern, including shooting incidents, non-family aggravated assaults and traffic crashes. The report identified several areas the state police considered “hotspots” for criminal activity in 2025, See POLICE page A3

Police Continued from page A1 including Oak Orchard and Frankford. Cpl. Lewis Briggs, DSP public information officer, urged Millville residents to follow the Delaware State Police on social media, giving a recent example of a crime being solved the day after it happened because the state police posted photos on social media and the public helped them identify the suspect. Two residents questioned the state police about recent reports from an Ocean View Town Council meeting at which the Ocean View council had discussed the need for more insurance coverage for its police department, to address liability when responding to calls outside of Ocean View. During that discussion, officials said Ocean View officers had responded to 47 calls in Millville in the previous year. According to the report by the Inter-

national Association of Chiefs of Police, presented at that Ocean View meeting, police officers from the OVPD are dispatched by Sussex County dispatchers (SUSSCOM). Millville Town Manager Eileen Scerra, in a prepared statement at the start of Tuesday’s meeting, praised the work the state police provide for the town. “Their professionalism, responsiveness and level of service have consistently met the needs of our Town, and we truly value the partnership. In many ways, they serve as the police department for Millville, and they have done so with dedication and effectiveness,” Scerra said. Reached on Wednesday, Ocean View Town Manager Houck also praised “the strong partnership between the Delaware State Police and local departments and communities in our area, as DSP supports the entire state, and our
officers work professionally and cooperatively with their counterparts from the DSP and other departments.” At Tuesday’s meeting, without naming the Town of Ocean View, Scerra had then addressed comments at last month’s Ocean View meeting that suggested response to calls in Millville was creating a burden for Ocean View police. “Proximity to surrounding communities is not about one town bearing the burden for another, it is about how public safety services are structured throughout Sussex County. Law enforcement coverage in unincorporated areas and municipalities without their own departments, like us, coordinate at the state level, and response patterns are based on jurisdiction, mutual aid and public safety protocols, not convenience or one town subsidizing another,” Scerra
challenges and opportunities of our community and enjoyed taking part in the considerations necessary to maintain Ocean View as a professional fun, safe and vibrant town.” The deadline to file for mayor has passed. The deadline to file to run for town council is Friday, March 13. At mid-week, only incumbent Councilmen Jay Tyminski, who represents District 3, and John Planchart, who represents
District 1, had filed for re-election to their respective seats. The election will be on Saturday, April 11. Council members are paid every six months. April and October 2025 payments were $690.41 for the mayor and $517.21 for council members. April and October 2026 payments will be $717.28 for the mayor and $537.34 for council members.

The Sussex County Council this week introduced the first few ordinances based on recommendations made by its Land Use Reform Working Group. At the Tuesday, March 10, council meeting, Assistant County Attorney Vince Robinson told the council that introducing the ordinances is the first step in approving the 20 or so recommendations made by the group, established by the council last year “to review land-use trends in Sussex County and to provide recommendations to the council for possible changes in the county code and Comprehensive Land Use Plan.” Introduced this week were ordinances pertaining to affordably priced rental units, open space, preliminary plat requirements and cluster subdivisions. There will be public hearings on the ordinances before they are passed. (Ordinance details are available and public hearing dates will be posted on the County’s website at www.sussexcountyde.gov.) The Land Use Reform Working Group started meeting in March of 2025 and had its final session on Sept. 11, 2025. Final recommendations included: • Revising the Future Land Use Map using state strategies for spending as a guide to designate boundaries of the growth and conservation areas; updating and establishing areas intended for growth and conservation to align growth with infrastructure access and land suitable for development; as part of the 2028 Comprehensive Plan Update, undertake a countywide rezoning effort to realign zoning districts with growth and conservation areas; • Amending the zoning code to establish clear definitions for missing middle housing types, including duplexes, triplexes, stacked flats and cottage courts, as distinct from the current

Mears ‘just waiting to see what God has for me next’ By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter Serving on the Sussex County Planning & Zoning Commission had such a vital place in Bruce Mears’ life that when fellow commissioners gathered to wish him a fond farewell, praise his dedication during the past seven years, then conduct a good-natured roast, it made him cry. “So, I show up, and the staff is in the meeting room. Director Jamie Whitehouse asked me to come back there, and I go back there and all of them are there clapping. I burst into tears. I couldn’t talk. It was emotional. I didn’t know I was that good,” he said, adding that they presented him with a map of Sussex County, with a certificate of authenticity. During his final meeting on Feb. 18, fellow P&Z members did doubletakes when Whitehouse, while reading statistics about Mears’ exemplary attendance, said that, while he was previously a Board of Adjustment member, he had attended hundreds of meetings and considered hundreds more business items and missed only one meeting — because of a minor heart problem eight years ago. That surprised fellow commissioners, who said, “Heart issue?” and “You only missed one meeting?” as Mears casually nodded. That heart problem arose over the weekend and didn’t cause him to miss even one day of work, he said. “You’re going to be missed, Mr. Mears. We’re going to miss your analytical approach. Your architectural knowledge and your technical knowledge have been extremely useful to the staff and to me, and you will be missed,” Whitehouse said. “Something needed to go,” the Millville native and resident later told the Coastal Point about the reasons for his retirement from the commission. “P&Z takes a lot of time. It takes a tremendous amount of time. Every Friday a packet is published for the Wednesday hearing, and the commission has to read the packet. It can be 200 pages, 300, 500 — but I simply loved it. It is a lot of work and frustrating at times, sitting there hour after hour, hearing people talking, but I love to serve. “One thing that really made me feel good is how, when people would have an issue with the County, if they needed a building permit or something not related to P&Z, they would call my office or my house, and I would direct them to the right place, or place a call or two and find resolutions for that. I took it as my job. It wasn’t my job, but anytime you have the resources and you can help somebody, you should do that. “I learned a lot,” he said. “I enjoyed debating attorneys here and there, and other applicants. It turned into an argu-
ment sometimes. “Through all my service, George Cole was my mentor,” Mears added of the former longtime Sussex County Council member. “He appointed me. I call him ‘Honorable.’ He calls me ‘Five-Eighths,’ because he says I am ‘five-eighths on my way to being honorable.’ When we talk, I say, ‘Cole, this is ‘ThreeQuarters.’’ George Mears was my mentor, and I appreciate it so much. “He wanted me to run for his seat” on the county council,” Mears noted, “but you can’t do what I do — designing and building houses — and donate enough time to council.” Mears said his service has also forced him to stay quiet about issues. “The County does not give out any contact information, and I look forward to commenting on Dan Gaffney’s radio show now that I’m no longer on the commission. We were encouraged not to talk to anyone, and we don’t want to get Chip Guy upset,” he said of Sussex County’s public information officer. Mears recalled the days when Sussex County didn’t even have a residential
building code. “George Cole and Dale Dukes both were county councilmen, and I teased them all time that we needed a code. Maybe it wasn’t teasing, but I did it in a teasing way. Once we got a code, I teased them they weren’t doing it right. There was already a commercial building code, so they added ‘resident’ to that and put me on there, and I served on the Building Code Board of Adjustments & Appeals from 1996 to 2019 and served as chairman from 2003 to 2019. “The whole time we had veterans on the Board of Adjustment and Planning & Zoning, so when one retired on the Board of Adjustment, I was instantly moved to the Board of Adjustment, from 2017 to 2019, while being on the Building Code Board simultaneously. Then, they really liked my work, so the Board of Adjustment moved me to Planning & Zoning at the end of 2019. I served there until the 18th of February,” he said of his retirement. His term would have expired at the end of June, and he had already announced he didn’t want to be reappointed, he said, adding that it’s difficult to find a candidate who is capable, qualified and willing. “We found the fabulous David Pettyjohn. The County is getting ready to
redo the comprehensive plan and map, which is done every 10 years, so they wanted to bring him on to get him used to it before the comprehensive plan begins, so they replaced me a little early to get him on board,” Mears said. He won’t have detailed P&Z homework to study now, or be required to travel around the county and look at properties on agendas, and that will give him the freedom that was sometimes taken away, he said, remembering once having to miss a concert with his son, Jordan. He bought tickets for the two of them to see a band in Washington, D.C., but he had to cancel. “We had been trying to see this band for years. They only play 10 or 12 shows every two or three years. We got tickets to go to the Warner Theatre in D.C., seven rows from the stage, but I couldn’t go because I had to vote. We can’t vote absentee. My son didn’t get to go, either. It was one of the many things I missed because of serving on the commission. You know how much I love Gerald Hocker,” he added of the local businessman, former state representative and now state senator. “I couldn’t go to see him get an award one time because of a meeting,” he said. The father of three sons — Jordan,

Delmarva Power says it is committed to fighting energy costs As families and small businesses across Delaware and Maryland continue to face higher energy bills, Delmarva Power recently announced an effort to reinforce its commitment as parent company, Exelon, launches “The Exelon Promise” — described as “a comprehensive, customer-first strategy focused on delivering immediate customer relief, strong protections amid growing demand, and long-term solutions to address the root causes driving higher costs.” Delmarva Power, representative said, “is implementing this shared commitment on the ground, ensuring customers are supported during a period of elevated supply prices.” Energy supply prices, they said, are increasing nationwide due to a convergence of historic growth in electricity demand, limited energy supply and mar-
ket dynamics that are keeping prices at record highs. While utilities do not control supply prices established in regional markets, they emphasized, “Delmarva Power is responding with practical measures to help limit the impact on families and small businesses.” “Our customers and communities are at the center of everything we do,” said Tyler Anthony, president and CEO of Delmarva Power’s parent company, Pepco Holdings. “‘The Exelon Promise’ reflects our commitment to show up for families and small businesses with real support, helping manage today’s higher bills, while pushing for long-term solutions that protect our communities, bring costs under control and keep energy reliable across our service area.” Under “The Exelon Promise,” representatives said, Delmarva Power continues to advance programs and protections

designed to help customers manage rising energy costs today, while pursuing lasting reforms that address long-term cost drivers: • Customer support — Delivering immediate relief through the $6.5 million Customer Relief Fund (delmarva.com/ReliefDE and delmarva.com/ReliefMD), flexible payment options, energy efficiency programs, and connection to state and federal programs that help customers manage higher costs now. To date, nearly $4 million has been pledged through the Customer Relief Fund to help more than 8,000 customers in Delaware and Maryland, with $2.5 million in funding still available for eligible customers. In 2025, Delmarva Power helped more than 23,000 customers secure more than $23.1 million in energy assistance, including more than $6.0 million in LIHEAP funding. In Maryland, Delmarva Power was part of a collaborative development of a discounted rate mechanism for limitedincome customers. Recently approved by the Maryland Public Service Commission and set to be implemented before Jan. 1 of next year, the program will provide discounted rates to certain limitedincome customers to correlate payments
more closely to their ability to pay. • Customer protections — Implementing strong guardrails to ensure large energy users, including data centers, pay for the infrastructure needed to support their growth, helping shield residential and small businesses from unfair cost impacts. This includes: • Requiring large-load customers to pay their fair share of grid upgrades and provide financial assurances that protect customers from the risk of “phantom” projects or stranded infrastructure costs. • Conducting feasibility and reliability studies for large-load requests to confirm the grid can support new demand without impacting existing customers and identifying any needed upgrades. • Working with economic development and real estate partners to prescreen sites and plan grid readiness, helping reduce uncertainty and improve coordination for responsible growth. • Advocating for long-term solutions — Supporting reforms that allow public utilities to build new, affordable energy supply under public oversight, prevent power outages and ease pressure on prices. A recent analysis by Charles River Associates found that allowing utilities to generate power could save customers between $9 billion and $20 billion, representatives noted.

it and make it fun. I have watched too many people retire, and they rust away. They decay. I’m on top of my game. The housing market is going to be great in the near future, and I want to enjoy it,” he said. He’ll also continue to board his 22foot boat and go fishing in the ocean, over sunken ships where fish have made habitats. “You anchor right above them and catch tog, sea bass. Not a lot of people recreational fish. I like catching a lot more than fishing,” he joked. Beyond Cole, a few friends have suggested he run for office, maybe for that seat on the Sussex County Council. “I’m not ruling anything out,” Mears said. “I’m just waiting to see what God has for me next.”

Police Continued from page A3 said Tuesday. “There’s a strong reciprocal relationship between the locals and the DSP, as evidenced by the statistics provided to the IACP from SUSCOM (DSP) and the Town,” Ocean View Mayor John Reddington said on Wednesday. “But the fact that Millville is not in a position to reciprocate, that all property owners in the state fund the DSP, and the continued need for out of jurisdiction calls for service into Millville and unincorporated Sussex needs to be recognized. It does impact our operations, which are solely funded by our property owners.” “Mutual-aid responses to Millville,” Scerra had said during the Millville meeting, “accounted for an exceedingly small percentage over a one-year period, which clearly demonstrates and supports that our town is not disproportionately relying on services of surrounding departments.” Ocean View Police Chief Ken McLaughlin on Wednesday noted, “This is correct, as Ocean View currently only responds in Millville when dispatched or for officer backup and life-safety emergencies, not routine calls and certainly not patrols. This is as a result,” he emphasized, “of the Town of Millville consistently advising Ocean View that it had no interest in partner-
ing, most recently reporting to the IACP, when interviewed, that it’s not the Town of Millville dispatching Ocean View when its property owners call 911 — it’s the DSP.” At the Millville meeting, Scerra had then addressed whether the current level of service from state police meets Millville’s needs. “Based on monthly reports and ongoing evaluations, it has been stated repeatedly that our current public safety needs are well-served under this arrangement. … Currently, data and service outcomes simply do not support the need to establish a municipal police department. We will, of course, continue to monitor service levels, community needs and future growth,” Scerra said. “One of the outcomes from the study included Ocean View continuing to monitor calls for service in relationship to continued growth,” Houck responded on Wednesday. At the Millville meeting, one resident — also reading a prepared statement — said Tuesday, “As a resident of Millville, I was somewhat concerned about a recent article regarding the Ocean View Town Council officials discussing policing outside their jurisdiction and the need to increase insurance coverage to protect their police department when responding to calls beyond town limits. “An Ocean View councilman stated, ‘Talking to Millville is very important,

too, because they are our neighbors, and they need to understand this.’” Ocean View Mayor John Reddington, the Millville resident related, “also suggested continuing meetings with the Millville Town Council and mayor to further discuss the issue and determine whether a mutual understanding can be reached.” Reddington said on Wednesday that there have been many conversations about the issue during his time as mayor, with Millville Mayor Ronald Belinko, previously with then-mayor Steve Maneri and also with the prior Millville town manager. “The last official discussions,” Houck related, “took place in 2023, between the two, that resulted in Mayor Belinko advising that Millville was not inclined to enter a memorandum of understanding at that time, but that they may reconsider again in the future. Our study was simply a follow-up to continued concerns for out of jurisdiction calls for service.” “It is my understanding,” the Millville resident had continued on Tuesday, “that Sussex County provides towns with police departments approximately $45,000 per year to help cover costs when a department is dispatched to unincorporated areas within the county. I also believe Millville receives roughly a $20,000 grant from Sussex County because the Town contracts with the Delaware State Police.” The resident then expressed concern
A7 about the possibility that Ocean View may be seeking compensation from Millville for police services, “despite Millville’s existing contract with the Delaware State Police.” “Is it standard practice for local police departments to request compensation when responding to calls in another municipality?” the resident asked. Windish responded at the Tuesday meeting in Millville, “Very simply stated, no.” McLaughlin said on Wednesday, Houck related, that “he agrees with Capt. Windish, as the situation Ocean View finds itself in, having an incorporated town in close proximity that doesn’t have a 24/7 police department,” that OVPD has traditionally been dispatched to calls for service by SUSSOM, “is not all that common. Typically, it would not be an incorporated town but an unincorporated area. Quite frankly, we wish the Town of Millville funded more than 40 hours a week for Millville-specific DSP overtime shifts. Since the report was shared, we’ve already noticed that we’re being dispatched even less out-of-jurisdiction.” At the Millville meeting on Tuesday, Scerra had said, “I’m completing my second year as town manager, and I have not been addressed, not one time, from our neighboring community. No one’s

Police Continued from page A7 come to the table to discuss that.” Reddington on Wednesday responded, saying, “I’m aware of discussions regarding some level of support for our police department responding to calls for service for the Town of Millville since 2020, including funding the actual cost for officer time spent in Millville on a call that could be billed quarterly or just making an annual support payment. What we’ve always asked the Town of Millville to do is put themselves in our position, and it’s hard to believe they wouldn’t see the need to justify to their property owners why their employees were seen working in another town.” Houck said on Wednesday that “direct conversation on the topic ended in 2023, with the IACP study then completed in 2025, as a result of continued concern on the part of Ocean View. Ms. Scerra and Mayor Belinko, as well as the DSP, were contacted by the IACP for the recent study that led to the final report,” she said. Further, Houck added, “I have raised the opportunity to discuss this again with Mayor Belinko since 2023. At his request, he asks we not bring it up again until the Town of Millville is ready to discuss it. Ms. Scerra may or may not be aware that attempts at the time, in 2023, were met with no interest to meet with
Coastal Point us by the Town of Millville.” At the Millville meeting on Tuesday, Windish had emphasized, “I think we’ve been very clear. We’re looking at 24 core crimes for the town of Millville for the year. Very minimal violent crime. Established police presence. We’re providing quality police services. There was very, very little information that was provided from the Town of Ocean View that was accurate. It was not accurate. I’ll leave it at that.” Reddington on Wednesday responded to Windish’s comment, saying, “Not having ever met Capt. Windish, he would need to be more specific as to what information he suggests was not accurate, as the statistical information provided came from both SUSCOM (DSP) and the Ocean View Police Department as reported by the IACP. “Further,” Reddington said, “why not sit down with us and discuss such a concern, if valid, versus making such a statement where it’s unclear what he’s referring to? The study and report were completed by an independent organization, not the Town of Ocean View. Quite simply, the IACP reported that the OVPD calls for service, outside of Ocean View, from its independent review of the statistics, fall into higherrisk calls. They also noted on Page 22 that SUSCOM’s data is consistent with OVPD’s data.” Houck added on Wednesday, “If the article mentioned is the one posted in the Feb. 5, 2026, Coastal Point, we re-
viewed it again after getting word from Mayor Belinko during a League of Local Governments Legislative Committee meeting that the DSP was upset with the article. After our review, we identified one clear error — that of the reporter stating the DSP couldn’t fulfill its calls for service in Sussex County without the help of the OVPD. “The IACP report actually read ‘without the locals’ — referring, we believe, to all local police departments in our area. I would agree,” Houck said, “that this incorrect representation was unfortunate, as Ocean View fully supports the strong, long-term partnerships between the locals and DSP, and thinks they should be acknowledged, as they’re in the best interest of our overlapping communities, and nothing to be ashamed of. “However, the reporter never spoke to me but appears to have simply reviewed the report, as she was also not in attendance at any meeting,” Houck emphasized. “The Town had no immediate input for the article, and it appeared much was cut and pasted from the report.” At the Millville meeting on Tuesday, a second resident had questioned whether Millville receives reports from Ocean View regarding its police response to calls in Millville, to which Scerra responded, “I do not.” When the second resident asked how, then, does Millville know for sure how many calls Ocean View police re-
March 13, 2026 spond to in Millville, DSP Lt. Tyler Wright shut the topic down. “We’re getting into an area that’s kind of fishy,” Wright said. “We’re a huge law enforcement agency, and we have to work with our partners. Obviously, everybody has feelings one way or another. We’re not going to get into an area where we’re going to look down on other agencies that help us.” “Cheers to Lt. Wright,” responded Houck on Wednesday. “Our strong partnerships and the dedicated men and women from both DSP and the local departments serving in our communities work professionally and successfully together. They don’t see the calls for service assists between these entities as a negative, nor does Ocean View. We simply wanted to fully understand our risks and take any possible steps to mitigate them. “If and when the Town of Millville develops its own police department, their property owners and residents will expect them to do the same,” she continued. “None of this was an effort to displease or discredit anyone,” she emphasized. “It’s unclear to me why the Town of Millville or DSP — who both had the opportunity to participate in the study — appear to have taken it that way.” McLaughlin on Wednesday said the issue is “a little bit confusing” and that the situation with Millville is unique See POLICE page A10

Lighthipe Scholarship offered to IRHS seniors, alumni By Laura Walter Staff Reporter Both Indian River High School alumni and current seniors are eligible for the 2026 Lighthipe Scholarship, and applications are open now. “Our idea with the scholarship was to make it possible for one or more students … who live in the Indian River High School ZIP codes to be able to go to college or trade school, to do something they might not otherwise be able to do,” said Tempe Steen, scholarship committee chairperson. The scholarship is a project of St. Martha’s Episcopal Church in Bethany Beach. The goal is to assist local students — especially those who may demonstrate financial need. Students do not need to be affiliated with the church. The goal is “to share what we have,
Selbyville sets meetings schedule By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter Due to lack of quorums, the April and June meeting dates of the Selbyville Town Council have been changed, Town Administrator Stacey Long said during the council’s March 2 meeting. Instead of on the first Monday of the month, the April meeting will be on Monday, April 13, and the June meeting will be on Monday, June 8.
Property owner gets OK to take over street The Selbyville Town Council this week approved turning over a public street to property owners at 14 Willams Street. Long explained that the unnamed street was, at one time, going to be named Holloway Street Extended, “but it never got done.” The current property owners use the street to access their garage and would like to pave it, but they didn’t want to do that if the street didn’t belong to them, Long said. The property owners asked the Town to vacate the street. Long said Mayor Rick Duncan had appointed a three-member committee to consider the request and talk to the property owners, and the committee then recommended the Town vacate the street, as long as there were letters of approval from surrounding property owners and the property owner paving the street pays for all improvements. No one commented during a public hearing concerning the matter. See SELBYVILLE page A10
as directly as we can. We don’t have a lot of children in our congregation, but we do come in contact with a lot of students who work around our area or are friends. … Even though they’re not in our congregation — that’s the future,” Steen said. “We want the word out that we do have money to give, and we’d like to help those who are outside the routine of applying for scholarships. We gave our first scholarships in 2025.” Awards for 2026 could range from $500 to $5,000, depending on the applications received. Applicants must be an IRHS graduating senior or past graduate; a U.S. citizen; and live full-time within the resident ZIP codes of 19939, 19945, 19975, 19944, 19930, 19967 or 19970. The application requires a personal essay, two letters of recommendation from IRHS (or other sources, for the
alumni applications), high school transcript with a minimum 2.5 GPA and a list of other financial aid the student has been offered. The committee welcomes questions and clarifications via email at scholarships@stmarthasbethanybeach.org. Applications are due by April 15. Find details and forms online at www.stmarthasbethanybeach.org/college-scholarships. Scholarships will be awarded for any college, a trade school, technical school, etc., and although preference will be for schools on the Delmarva Peninsula, the prize is not limited to that. Funding comes from the church’s Mary Lighthipe Trust Fund, which is dedicated to empowering Sussex County residents. The late Mary Lighthipe is perhaps best known for donating large chunks of
land for public or charitable use — most notably, 150 acres that became the James Farm Ecological Preserve, given to Sussex County in memory of her son, Harold. She was also a dedicated member of St. Martha’s, helping the summertime church become a year-round congregation around 1979. Lighthipe donated another fair-sized acreage to the diocese, Episcopal Church in Delaware, for the purpose of founding a school near Muddy Neck Road. “We tried very hard to create a school,” Steen said. “It didn’t work in the place it was [bequeathed].” Still wanting to make good use of the gift, the church sold the land, saved the money, and now uses the interest for a college scholarship. “This is really honoring her and her interest in the community,” Steen said.

tual-aid agreements. Regarding the claim that Ocean View responded to 47 calls in Millville last year, McLaughlin said, “I can assure you it’s accurate.” He later added, “The Town of Ocean View did provide monthly reports to Millville, but that stopped a few years back. We would be happy to begin to do
so again.” “Sadly, I think things got a little bit misrepresented,” following the insurance discussion, McLaughlin said, adding that the crux of the matter is liability concerns. “We just want to make sure we’re covered,” he emphasized. McLaughlin also addressed the issue of fairness to Ocean View taxpayers
when Ocean View police respond to calls in another town. “We could have a situation where we’re taking 100 percent of our resources out of Ocean View to respond to a call in Millville,” he said. “It’s a little bit confusing,” McLaughlin added of the situation with Millville. “It’s not cut-and-dried.”

Town supports Youth Art Month
Police report
Administration report
Continued from page A9
The town council approved a $1,000 donation to, and presented a proclamation designating April as, Youth Art Month, during which works of art by area students are on display at the Selbyville Public Library and the best works receive awards. Duncan read the proclamation, which states that the Selbyville Community Club, in conjunction with the Selbyville Public Library and area public schools, are working to bring attention to the arts for children of all ages, and that the Town recognizes the event as worthwhile. Youth Art Month was changed from March to April to accommodate school schedules and allow for more student participation. Works of art will be hung throughout the library and judged. The annual awards ceremony will be at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 25, at the library. “It’s a great program. I encourage everybody to visit the library during art month,” Duncan said.
At the request of Police Chief Brian Wilson, the council approved spending $6,990, plus a monthly service fee of $45, for new video surveillance equipment for the detention area and interview room at the police department. The current system is 11 years old and is no longer working properly, the chief said. Wilson said that, during February, officers responded to 242 calls, issued 80 traffic tickets and made five criminal arrests. He said one new police vehicle is ready to pick up this week.
Kirsch, while presenting the monthly administration report, said two employees are off work and the remaining staff is “stepping up and covering areas so there is cross-training.” Staff is working on the employee handbook and policies. Long and other town employees will attend a meeting concerning emergency operations planning, he said.

Frankford moving forward with park plans By Kerin Magill Staff Reporter Upgrades to Frankford’s Town Park will be moving forward in the coming months, now that the town council has awarded a contract for the first phase of the proposed work to a North Carolina firm. The council voted unanimously on March 3 to award a contract for $104,284.87 to Cunningham Recreation of Charlotte, N.C., for the first phase of planned renovations to the park. The work will include new playground equipment tailored toward younger children. Phase 2 of the park improvements will include upgrades to general park facilities and grounds. Town Manager Sheldon Hudson
said the “lead time” for installation of the new equipment is six to eight months, and that he hopes to have the work completed by next fall, before the park shuts down for Christmas in the Park setup. The Town received a grant of $117,125 from DNREC Outdoor Recreation, Parks & Trails funds for the project. The funds will be granted to the Town if it spends at least twice that much on park improvements, according to Hudson. During the deliberations over the bids, town officials had wrestled with whether to use a “poured-in-place” or shredded rubber base under the new equipment, ultimately deciding the shredded base was more cost-effective. Making a motion to approve the Cunningham bid, Town Council Vice
President Kyle Quillen said it “represents a better value” than a bid from bidder Bliss Products. According to Town Council President Greg Welch, the estimate from Bliss included $100,000 for a “poured-in-place” base alone. With the matching grant, the Town will have about $110,000 left for the second phase of park upgrades, which will include improvements to the restrooms and other projects, Welch said. Hudson said he expects Cunningham’s total price to come down a bit after the bid is readjusted to reflect the target age of the new equipment. While Cunningham’s bid focused on equipment for 5- to 12-year-olds, the Town wants to focus on smaller equipment for younger children, which should cost less, he said.
In other business, the council: • Announced that the Frankford Police Department has joined the Sussex County Southeast Regional Police Accountability Commission and has attended its first meeting of that group; • Announced that the first budget workshop for 2026 will be held on Wednesday, April 15, at 6 p.m. in Frankford Town Hall; • Thanked The Farm dispensary for its gift of $15,000 to the Town, to be used to purchase a new sign for the front of Frankford Town Hall; and • Announced that construction of the first homes in Vines Creek Crossing is expected to begin in April. Lennar Corporation broke ground on the 584-home community off Pepper Road in March of 2025.

Millsboro council seeks to fill vacancy as Davis departs By Laura Walter Staff Reporter An interim seat on the Millsboro Town Council has opened up this month, as Matthew Davis (who was serving as vice mayor) is moving outside town limits. The Town is currently accepting applicants to serve the final three months of his council term. Davis was elected to the town council in 2023, representing Millsboro’s District 3. His resignation was effective on March 3, the day after his last council meeting. Qualified applicants must: be a resident of District 3; be at least 18; be a
Bayhealth Continued from page A11 They enjoy that professional relation-
bona fide resident of the U.S., the state of Delaware, and the town of Millsboro for at least 90 days before April 6; and never previously convicted of a felony. Residents interested in being considered for appointment should submit a letter of interest and qualifications to: Town Manager, Town of Millsboro; 322 Wilson Hwy.; Millsboro, DE 19966. Letters must be received by 4:30 p.m. on Friday, March 27. Documents will be forwarded to the remaining six council members.The town council will discuss and vote to appoint a new member at the regular April 6 meeting.That person
would serve until the 2026 election winner is sworn in at the July 6 regular meeting. The seat was already up for election this year. So, separate from the temporary appointment, District 3 residents can also throw their hat into the ring for the regular June town election. (Details will be announced in April.) The seat carries a three-year term upon election. According to Town Manager Jamie Burk, the town council can also decide if they wish to elect a new vice mayor from their ranks to serve for the next three months. That person typically fills in when the mayor is absent, but the
Millsboro Town Council also already has a president pro tem, who fills in when the vice mayor is absent. District 3 is primarily on the west side of Route 113, including a few properties where Route 113 crosses Betts Pond, as well as several housing developments in the region of Route 24 and Radish Road. Davis resided in Plantation Lakes. The Millboro Town Council has seven members: two from each of three election districts, as well as one at-large member. The district boundaries changed last spring to help balance the burgeoning population.
ship they have with the faculty and the community,” Murphy said, replying to a question from Councilwoman Jane Gruenebaum. Councilman John Rieley said it’s dif-
ficult to get an appointment with a doctor in the area — especially with a specialist, but he said he is pleased “the medical profession is responding.” “It’s going to take a little time to
catch up, but from your perspective, is this a local problem? Is it more of a national problem, having such long wait times or will it get better over time?” Rieley asked. Murphy said it’s due to an older population and rapid growth in Delaware, making it comparable to Florida. “A lot of it is supply and demand. I feel like Indiana Jones with the boulder coming down on me and I’m trying to stay ahead of it,” he said. “It’s a matter of demographics. It’s heartening to see, and I know you’re working to close the gap and provide the services that are needed,” Rieley said. Murphy said that from July of 2023 until December of 2025, doctors at Bayhealth saw 54,000 patients, with twothirds of the visits being non-emergencies. The average time from arrival to seeing a doctor was 18 minutes, and the average visit lasted 107 minutes, “which is much better than most acute-care hospitals. … And we’re doing very well with what patients are saying about their visits,” he said. Bayhealth now has a childcare facility able to accommodate 102 employees’ children and is building a four-story medical office on their Sussex County campus. One floor will be for cardiology, one for women’s health concerns and one for all other patients. A use for the fourth floor hasn’t yet been determined, Murphy said, adding that the project is expected to be finished by September of 2027. There is also a need to expand the intensive-care unit and dialysis center to accommodate patients, he said.

Mears’ departure from P&Z a tough loss “Something needed to go.” As has been his custom over the years, Sussex County Planning & Zoning Commissioner Bruce Mears was succinct and clear in his reasoning. But this time it didn’t have to do with approving a new project or not. This was about his decision to leave the commission after seven years of service — and 30 years of serving the County in multiple forms. “P&Z takes a lot of time,” he explained. “It takes a tremendous amount of time. Every Friday, a packet is published for the Wednesday hearing, and the commission has to read the packet. It can be 200 pages, 300, 500, but I simply loved it. It is a lot of work and frustrating at times sitting there hour after hour hearing people talking, but I love to serve.” And serve he has. From the County Board of Adjustment to P&Z, to local events and fundraising efforts, to his church and the projects that come with that commitment, the Millville native has long been involved in making his community a better place. And
it’s not just due to a sense of responsibility. He enjoys it. “One thing that really made me feel good is how when people would have an issue with the County, if they needed a building permit or something not related to P&Z, they would call my office or my house,” said Mears. “And I would direct them to the right place or place a call or two and find resolutions for that. I took it as my job. It wasn’t my job, but anytime you have the resources and you can help somebody, you should do that.” It’s with mixed feelings we bid adieu to Mears as he embarks on the next chapter in his life. On the one hand, we are obviously happy for him as he pursues what he chooses to do, in a timeline that works for him. He also spoke to us of an opportunity to spend more time on things he enjoys, including being with his family. On the other, we as a community are losing a trusted voice on P&Z who would ask tough questions and serve the people. So, we’re just going to go with “thanks.”Thanks, Mr. Mears, for your service to your community, and your dedication.
A name is a name — until it’s a Snowlo One of my favorite newer traditions in Delaware took place recently, and, once again, it did not fail to impress. Yes, it was time for the Delaware Department of Transportation’s (DelDOT) 5th Annual Name That Plow Contest. DelDOT said it received nearly 300 submissions this year from students around the state who felt like they had the perfect names for those loud, rambunctious vehicles that clear our streets — and, sometimes, mailboxes — after significant snowfalls and get people back out of their homes and functioning. For our very own Sussex County, the submission from Phillis Wheatley Elementary School was the winner, with the name “Han Snowlo.” Gotta say, I don’t only think it’s clever, but there’s something to be learned here about the staying power of Star Wars that a bunch of third-graders came up with a name that Darin J. McCann originated before many of their parents were even born. In Kent County, students from Star Hill Elementary School won with their submission, “No Mo Snow.” I like it. I like it a lot. It rhymes. It’s easy. It tells the story. I’m sold. How about New Castle County? Well, students at Cedar Lane Early Childhood came up with the name, “Scoop! There it is!” — an homage to “Whoomp! (There it Is),” from hip-hop artists Tag Team in 1993. Again, a callback to a time long before these students were around, but also a reminder to a time when yours truly had long, flowing hair and a chiseled jaw and... yeah, none of those things are true. Regardless, the contest was fun once again, and the results come on the heels of a winter storm that put the state’s snowplows at the forefront of the minds of people throughout the state — our area in particular. “Following a storm like the one we recently experienced, our crews put in long hours under challenging conditions to ensure Delawareans can travel safely,” said DelDOT Secretary Shanté Hastings. “The Name That Plow contest is a fun and engaging way to shine a spotlight on the hardworking men and women behind the wheel and the equipment they operate. It gives our students a chance to connect with the important work happening on our roadways.”
And speaking of storms... The Met Office — a department that serves as the United Kingdom’s weather and climate service,according to the fine people at Wikipedia — started a similar effort in 2015 that allows the public to submit names for storms in the UK.Officials said they received more than 50,000 suggestions for the most recent effort,according to sky.com. “Some of the names are really clever and funny and we enjoy seeing them suggested,” said officials with the Met Office. “However, we couldn’t ever use comedy names for our storms, because at the heart of it, naming storms has an important safety purpose.” That’s fair. Storms can wreak havoc on both lives and property, and it would be more than a little bit insensitive to saddle something that brought that kind of destruction with a name that is light-hearted, especially if the name is granted by a governmental body. I, however, am not a governmental body, so let’s share some of the funny ones. The first one that jumped out to me was Stormy McStormFace. This is twofold. First, it made me laugh. Second, it dinged something in my memory banks that made me scurry off to the Goggle machine. A-ha! In 2016, Boaty McBoatface was prominent in a March 2016 poll to name a polar scientific research ship and actually finished first. But the powers-that-be went with the Sir David Attenborough instead, despite having 10 times fewer votes. But Boaty McBoatface did resurface (funny play on words there, if I don’t say so myself ) as the name of an Autosub Long Range vehicle. Interesting side note: “McBoatfacing” is now a term on the Internet. Jennifer Finney Boylan of the New York Times described it as allowing people to “deliberately make the choices not in order to foster the greatest societal good, but, instead, to mess with you.” I’m starting to think my daughter McBoatfaces me a lot. Of course, there were other names that got my attention for this storm-naming contest, such as Elon Gust, Dame Judi Drench, David Blowy, Storm Prince Andrew, Bruce Spring Storm, Fifty Shades of Rain and Stormzy. Not bad, right? I mean... Whoomp! There it is!

Eleven of the 14 Sussex County libraries are Independent and not fully funded by the government. Please stop by any of the independent libraries and fill out a preprinted postcard with your name and address, along with a short statement in support for funding the libraries. Please deposit the cards in the boxes provided at your library and we will hand them all to County Council on March 17. Eleven libraries (Milford, Millsboro, Lewes, Rehoboth, Selbyville, Frankford, Georgetown, Bridgeville, Delmar, Laurel and Seaford) receive partial support from state and county government. Several of those 11 libraries receive no local government funding at all. Support from the State of Delaware covers only about 15 percent of what it takes to keep these libraries open. Sussex County’s contributions come from three funding sources: a library tax, a mobile home tax (which varies widely from year to year) and some funds from
general property taxes. The library tax averages only $10 per household. There has been no increase in the library tax in 18 years, yet our square footage has more than doubled. The deficit ranges between 13 percent and 52 percent of individual budgets. Libraries must seek funding through grants and fundraising. Our limited resources must be directed toward these activities and away from serving our patrons and communities. Simply put, if we can’t raise the funds, we can’t stay open. The independent libraries have joined together to ask our County Council to increase the library tax to from $0.0023 to $0.0046 per $100 of property value, which would result in an average tax increase of $10 per household. This proposal will bring funding of independent libraries to 90 percent of their budgets. The libraries would still need to raise 10 percent of their budget, but this would bring financial stability. Frankford Public Library receives no funding from local government, and over the last few years we have had to

cut expenses, earn grants and fundraise just to break even. In Fiscal Year 2024, we could not reach that goal, which forced us to cut staff and services. Because fixed expenses, such as utilities and salaries, must be paid, our plans to expand programming and purchase additional books were curtailed in the last two or three years. Despite this, our dedicated and resourceful staff found a way to increase some of our programming. It is hard to do this when precious time must be devoted to grants and fundraising. Public libraries return roughly $4 to $6 in community value for every $1 of public funding. The value is found in borrowing books and materials, use of computers and technology, attending classes and programs, and help from librarians with homework, small business information, job searches and taxes. The proposed increase of $10 per household will ensure that our independent libraries can continue to serve the interests and needs of all Sussex County residents. We love our patrons. Thank you for your support.

OLLI offers opportunities for locals 50-plus By Kolinda Scialabba, Instructor Osher Lifelong Learning Institute There’s a quiet wave of learning happening here in our Ocean View, Del., beach community. Through the University of Delaware’s OLLI (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute) program for ages 50-plus, locals are coming together in a member driven cooperative model — teaching and taking classes together for the joy of learning in community. I had the chance to highlight the UD OLLI
story with Kent/Sussex Program Director Lisa Coldiron and instructor Jack Bartley at the Dickens Parlour Theatre last week and learned even more about the impact this program is making in our community. Here’s a small sampling of classes offered this spring: • Jack is teaching the History of Rock & Roll. • Cathy leads Meditation & Mindfulness. • Tom explores the Seven American Social Movements.
• Paul teaches “Mrs. Dalloway and the Hours.” • I’m excited to jump in myself, teaching the Art of Journaling. As more people lean into a more analog, thoughtful lifestyle, instructors are turning what they know and are passionate about into semester-long classes. Ocean View classes are offered at the Ocean View Community Center, and UD OLLI has additional sites in Lewes, Dover, Newark and Wilmington. In-person and hybrid class options are available. As part of a learning coop-
erative, participants pay a low membership fee, not a tuition charge. In keeping with tenets of programs like the Harvard Human Flourishing Institute, connections between mind, body and spirit are at the forefront. It’s a quiet evolution of knowledge designed to inspire and uplift. There’s something beautiful about learning in a community and building social connections along the way. I hope to see you in class one day! Kolinda Scialabba is the founder of Thrive 302.
BBLA shares information on disaster preparedness By Mary Louise Embrey, Executive Director Bethany Beach Landowners Association With the recent destruction of Winter Storm Hernando, disaster preparedness came to the forefront of the minds of many area residents. Some said: I was so unprepared for the power outages, snow removal, supplies for sheltering in place, etc. etc. On the other hand, many of those located in the 19930 ZIP code said they did their homework after attending the BBLA disaster preparedness workshops and were able to meet
Hernando “head on!” The interactive workshops, held in October and November, featured detailed presentations on how to prepare for various disasters pertinent to our South Coastal area. For example: “HIDE from the Wind” & “RUN from the Water” was emphasized and vital information provided on how to take the recommended actions. For evacuation purposes, PTG was emphatically repeated: Plan — Take — Go. The three featured presenters were myself (Mary Louise Embrey, BBLA executive director and Disaster Pre-

paredness Project manager); Tim Cooper, deputy director of Public Safety/Emergency Management for Sussex County; and Danielle Swallow, coastal hazards specialist for Delaware Sea Grant. Participants left the workshops equipped with key handouts and the start of a plan suitable to their individualized situations. Everyone determined their Evacuation Zone by their street address and learned how to put proper local notifications and apps on their cellular phones. Sample “go bags” were displayed, as was a portable storage box for
“in case of emergency,” containing types of documents to take when evacuating. The workshops and infographic development was made possible through a disaster preparedness microgrant from AARP. BBLA was awarded the competitive grant as one of only 383 grantees selected (out of more than 3,450 applications) from across all 50 states, Washington, D.C, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Working with the area municipalities and large property owner communities,

Letters Reader responds to previous letter Editor: I am writing to expand upon the “Parsons talks energy market” in the Feb. 20, 2026, Coastal Point. Mrs. Parsons’ comments concerning our electric bills expresses what should be a serious concern to every Delaware resident. The fact that Delaware produced only 4,799,212 megawatts of electricity and consumed 11,373,916 megawatts in 2024 is a stark reminder of our precarious situation! That means that 57 percent of the electricity that we currently use is produced and purchased in a very competitive market. And these figures include the electricity generated at our Indian River Power Plant that closed in 2025, so this year that 57 percent will be greater! And we all understand that the demand for electric power is expected to grow substantially very soon.
BBLA Continued from page A15 the planning meetings and workshops helped the 19930 area get to know each other better and help achieve the common goal of becoming a more resilient
Additionally, we are burdened with politicians that seem to be more interested in helping Maryland with their electricity needs than those of Sussex County and Delaware. I’m referring to the closed Indian River Power Plant property and the plan that we in Sussex County rejected as the site to accept wind farm electricity for Maryland. The same politicians that seem to believe that whatever is done in California is good for Delaware. An example is their legislating Delaware electric car mandates modeled after California’s when 70 percent of Delawareans were against it! The Indian River Power Plant property is available and could possibly be used to continue generating electricity for Delaware! There are many opportunities and options for this. I do support Gov. Meyers establishing a task force to explore “atomic energy.” However, we are familiar with the snails’ pace with which these efforts
proceed. We do not have time to dawdle with this effort! And the situation is exasperated by the fact that the task force’s report is currently late, as it was targeted for completion on Dec. 31, 2025! The clock is ticking! There are many power generating options available, but we seem to have been sold on wind and/or solar and I’m doubtful if they/we have even seriously considered alternate energy sources, let alone atomic energy! If we can harness atomic energy as the power source for our submarine fleet, we should be able to do so above water and in our state. My last point is the question: Has anyone anywhere done a thorough comparison of the total cost of the various electric power generating systems available? That comparison would be from raw materials for construction to a functioning power generating source. I tend to believe that no one has, and that this whole effort

DMV implements new security measures at all facilities The Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is implementing new security screening protocols at all DMV locations this week. Officials announced on Tuesday, March 3, that customers will now be
required to pass through weapons detector systems, staffed by private security, when entering a DMV facility. Additionally, changes to entering and exiting the facilities are also being made. All DMVs will also continue to
have law enforcement present at each location. “The Delaware DMV processes nearly 1 million transactions annually, and we appreciate the public’s patience as we enhance security at our facilities
statewide,” said Secretary of Transportation Shanté Hastings. The Wilmington DMV is now open for customers by appointment only, and appointments can be made online at appointments.dmv.de.gov.

Since Mrs. Parson mentioned Dr. Legates from the University of Delaware, I feel compelled to alert readers to a little of Dr. Legates’ distinguished resume: Legates has spent much of his career casting doubt on the severity of climate change and the human causes of warming. He is affiliated with the Heartland Institute, a conservative and libertarian policy thinktank that promotes climate-change denial. I add these notes to Mrs. Parsons’ idea that we should reopen the coalfired powerplant in Dagsboro, Del.:
Delaware maintains its own stringent environmental targets that often exceed federal minimums. • Climate Change Solutions Act of 2023 — This state law mandates a 50 percent reduction in net GHG emissions by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2050. Any new or reopened fossil fuel plant would have to account for these binding state targets. • Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) — Delaware is a member of RGGI, a mandatory market-based program to reduce emissions. A converted plant would be required to purchase allowances for every ton of greenhouse gas it emits. • Multi-Pollutant Regulation (Regulation 1146) — This Delaware-specific regulation sets strict emission limits for mercury, specifically for large electric generating units (EGUs). • Coastal Zone Act — Because the Indian River plant is in a coastal area, any significant use change or “heavy industry” expansion requires a Coastal Zone Permit, which involves an assessment of environmental impacts and potential offsets. The following key facts are also relevant: New research from Harvard University, in collaboration with the University of Birmingham, the University of Leicester and University College London, found that more than 8 million people died in 2018 from fossil-fuel pollution, significantly higher than previous research suggested — meaning that air pollution from burning fossil fuels, like coal and diesel, was responsible for about 1 in 5 deaths worldwide. Therefore, IMHO, and that of a majority of voters in Delaware, implementation of our already licensed and permitted offshore wind development will more than satisfy our state’s need for homegrown electricity. It will also take less time, cost less for Delaware taxpayers and be much healthier than the option of re-fitting the Indian River coal-fired power plant. The wind farm is likely to take less time to go into operation than the refitted coal plant, since it is now just up to the courts to decide the lawsuit by Fenwick Island and Sussex County against Delaware Senate Bill 159 that was passed in May of 2025. I personally object to using taxpayer funds to fund this lawsuit. Our future will be less expensive and healthier by taking this positive step toward our clean energy economy. Larry Ryan Millsboro

Four SMS drone teams sweep awards at Eastern Shore qualifier On Saturday, March 7, four drone teams from Selbyville Middle School competed in the Eastern Shore Aerial Drone Competition Qualifier and delivered an extraordinary performance, bringing home every award they were eligible to win. The Sky Flyers team, consisting of Andzhelina Iardova-Dubinkina, Christopher Louridas and Griffin Deane, earned the Airmanship Award for their consistent high-level piloting and outstanding flight performance throughout the competition. Team Airborn, made up of Brayden Polito and Sofi Iardova, received the Coding Award for their exceptional autonomous programming and high-quality automated flight performance. The Unsalted Pretzels team, consisting of Allison De La Rosa-Lopez, James Johnson III, Lincoln Dye and Riley Hoffmann, won the Communications Mission Champion Award and also co-earned the Team Mission Champion Award for their strong collaboration and strategic flying during the team mission challenge. The Airheads team, made up of Marleigh Wilson, Isaac Howell, Callan McCowan and Cora Deck, also co-earned the Team Mission Champion Award and were named All-Around Champions, securing their qualification for the championship event in West Virginia in May. Teams were evaluated across several categories, including communication, teamwork, piloting skills and autonomous programming. Communication scores were based on a detailed engineering journal, a team interview with judges and in-competition communication between teammates. Teamwork focused on the teams’ ability to plan, collaborate and successfully coordinate with other teams to score points in a fast-paced, complex, dynamic flying arena. Piloting and autonomous programming were judged on how quickly and accurately teams could navigate a static course, both manually and through coded flight paths. This marks the third year that Arcadia Middle School has hosted the qualifying event, and this was the most awards Selbyville Middle School has earned at the competition. The SMS teams will next compete on March 21 at the Sussex Skies Drone Invitational at Indian River High School, where they will face teams from Delaware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Coach Matt McCowan praised the students’ dedication, saying, “The growth and resiliency of each of these teams this season is something they should be proud of. We have great kids here at SMS, and these awards are a testament to their hard work, perseverance and skills.”

Fenwick discussing changes to parking ordinance By Kerin Magill Staff Reporter
Surf Bagel shop on Coastal Highway. Mayor Natalie Magdeburger said the Town had been asked by Surf Bagel management to allow them to use the empty lot at Coastal Highway and Essex Street, the former site of a farmer’s market. Council Member Bill Rymer said he has spoken to several Essex Street property owners who are against allowing the lot to be used for commercial parking. Magdeburger said the permits given to businesses to use unimproved lots would have to be renewed each year and would likely be subject to public hearings. She said she wants to “let people come in and speak about whether they have issues — whether they thought it was helpful, whether they didn’t like it, whether they think that they might
Fenwick Island officials are considering changes to the Town’s parking ordinance that would allow businesses to use unimproved lots in the town’s commercial district for parking. The ordinance introduced last week was drafted “to establish new, objective and fair parking standards on unimproved lots within the commercial zone” according to the written introduction in the proposed regulations. It would be a change from previous parking regulations, which prohibited use of unimproved lots for parking. Fenwick Island’s Charter & Ordinance Committee made the recommendations to the town council in the wake of parking issues last summer at the then-new
need to add any modifications.” If no one has objections, Magdeburger said, the permission would be granted for another year. In the proposed ordinance change is a clause that gives the council the authority to revoke temporary parking lot permission “at any time and for any reason” with five days’ written notice to the parties involved. The reasons for revoking parking permission can include failure to meet conditions or limitations imposed by the town council or a traffic hazard resulting from use of the lot. Rymer, who has been opposed to the changes in the past and voted not to task the committee to draft them, spoke at length to the issues he has with them during the Feb. 27 meeting. He said he feels the Town has already done “two great things” to help

businesses with parking issues, namely the passage of a “business helping business” initiative that allows businesses to work out arrangements for lots to be used by neighboring shops that have different “peak” hours for employee parking. Thus, lots that are largely empty because an adjacent store is closed could be used by a nearby store that has different busy hours. The council last year also passed a measure allowing businesses to purchase employee parking passes at a discount. “Two residents that live on [Essex Street] have spoken openly against this,” Rymer said. “They’re the ones that would have to deal with this day in and day out.” He said the lot would likely become attractive for other businesses, including a future chicken wings shop in the former bank building. That would mean the lot could be in use from early morning to late into the evening hours, he said. Rymer also objected to a portion of the proposed ordinance change that requires businesses to have the lot supervised by a parking attendant. Magdeburger, who chairs the Charter & Ordinance Committee, defended the proposed ordinance change, saying it could help ease the parking issues that arose when overflow from Surf Bagel was parking on Essex Street itself last summer. Council Member Colleen Wilson agreed. “Last summer did not go well,” Wilson said. “There’s an empty lot there.” “I understand that’s how some people feel,” Rymer said. “It’s not a parking lot.” Former mayor Pete Frederick, whose family has owned a home on Essex Street for 70 years, said, “There are a lot of people on Essex Street who are concerned about the entire situation.” His concerns, he said, include whether the new parking proposal is enforceable. Ultimately, the council voted 6-1 to let the parking ordinance change move forward toward potential adoption. There will be a public hearing on the issue at the March town council meeting, with a second reading and possible vote on it in April.

Marie Warrington Rogers, 90 At an early age, Marie Warrington Rogers learned that when books are opened, you discover you have wings. On March 5, 2026, at 90, she wrote the final chapter in her personal Book of Life. “However,” a family member wrote, “I know she will be starting a new Book with God, as she picks up her pen and dons her new wings in Heaven. Death will not be
the end of her story. It is just another chapter. The illustrations for her new Book will include rainbows which her son has been flying around in his angel wings gathering for her for 21 years up there. It is sure to be a bestseller.” Rogers was born on June 24, 1935, the daughter of the Rev. Manaen F. Warrington Sr. and Hilda M. (Quillen) Warrington of Selbyville, Del. She graduated from Selbyville High School (in absentia), then went on to receive an associate’s degree in education from Delaware Technical & Community College, a bachelor’s degree in education from the University of Delaware (with honors), and a master’s degree in education from Salisbury State College (now Salisbury State University). She also held a principal’s certificate, an approved Laubach Literacy Tutoring certificate and a reading specialist’s certificate. She spent 20 years of service at Georgetown Elementary School —10 years teaching Grade 6, and 10 years as a reading specialist. Rogers was a past member of several professional organizations, including: the National Education Association (NEA), Delaware State
Education Association (DSEA), Indian River Education Association (IREA), International Reading Association (IRA) and Delaware State Reading Association (DSRA). She was past vice-president of the Sussex County Organization of Reading Excellence (SCORE) and was a member of Kappa Delta Pi (an honor society in education). She was appointed by Dr. Madden to the State Advisory Council on Teacher Education & Professional Standards from 1973 to 1976. She was a committee member for Indian River School District Curriculum Revision for reading, spelling and English. She was also on the committees for reading textbook adoption for Riverside and Holt K-6 and on the Junior High reading textbook adoption as well. She implemented “Book-It” (a National Reading Program) in Grades 3-6. She implemented a computer management system in the reading department and implemented the effective use of computer software for elementary students using a high school computer lab (WASATCH). While herself in elementary school, Rogers won first place in the Goldey Beacom Spelling Champi-
$1,845.
onship Award, for two consecutive years, and first place in both the local and state Fire Prevention Essay competitions. She got to read her essay over the radio. (“Wow! That was a big treat for an elementary student to be ‘on the air.’”) She was never bored, since she had so many interests. Even during the pandemic, there was never enough time to get everything done. She did cryptic crosswords, Sudoku and Super Kakuro, played cards, dominoes and board games, and was an avid reader. She usually had two or three books going at a time, and she tried to never miss “Jeopardy.” She liked music, loved to sing and dance, and played the piano, organ, French horn and autoharp. She served as a troop leader for the Chesapeake Bay Girl Scout Council for several years. Traveling with her husband, Jack, was high on her list. Together, they had visited most of the United States, including Puerto Rico, all the provinces of Canada, and many foreign lands, including France, Germany, England, Italy and the Netherlands, to name a few. They traveled by car, bus, train, plane, hovercraft, snowcoach or whatever mode of travel was prevalent in the area in which they were visiting. They had cruised to Bermuda, Alaska, Hawaii, the Panama Canal, Cabo San Lucas, Acapulco and Rome. Perhaps their most memorable cruise was on their 50th wedding anniversary, when they cruised to several of the islands of the eastern and western Caribbean. They were joined by their three daughters and their families for the occasion. Jack and Marie Rogers renewed their marriage vows aboard the ship. Their grandson Darren was the best man, and their granddaughter Sarah Marie was the maid-of-honor. (What better choices could one have?) Curiosity abounded, and fun was had by all. Rogers was preceded in death by her parents; by her son Hayward Ralph Daisey; and by her older brother, Manaen F. Warrington Jr. of Salisbury, Md. Left behind to grieve her loss are: her beloved husband of 70 years, Jack Rogers; their three daughters, Jacqueline Anne Rickards (and Ronald) of Seaford, Del., Judy Marie Hickman (and Gary) of Frankford, Del., and Mary Jayne Bowden (and Arthur), also of Frankford; four grandchildren, John Ross Hall, Sarah Marie Absher (and Adam), Darren Ross Bowden and Sherrie Ann Daisey; and two greatgrandchildren, Kinsley Blake Absher and Baylen Olivia Absher.

Teresa Jane (Hall) Shockley, 63 Teresa Jane (Hall) Shockley, 63, of Frankford, Del., passed away peacefully on Feb. 28, 2026, surrounded by close family. She was born Dec. 1, 1962, in Salisbury, Md., and spent her early years in Salisbury and Delmar, Md., before her family moved to Pine Street in Georgetown, Del. Shockley graduated from Sussex Central High School in 1980 and married the love of her life, Eddie Shockley, that same year. She later
moved to Frankford, where she spent most of her life on Eddie Shockley’s family farm, known as “Shockley Hill,” surrounded by family and the community she loved. Shockley lived a life defined by compassion, creativity and service to others. She was a fierce advocate for people in need, including the homeless, the LGBTQ+ community, individuals battling cancer and veterans. She regularly prepared meals and gathered supplies for families experiencing hardship and found countless ways to quietly support people during difficult times. Inspired by her favorite poem, “The Dash” by Linda Ellis, she created her own small outreach effort, called Teresa’s Dash. Through that effort, she organized a mobile trailer filled with clothing and supplies for those in need, maintained a blessing box with her niece Kinsley, and kept a shed stocked with food and donated items so she could quickly assemble care packages for families in crisis. Helping others was simply part of who she was. For the last 11 years, Shockley had also shared her heart with students as a mentor at Southern Delaware School of the Arts and later at Mariner Middle School. She believed deeply in encouraging young people and making sure every student felt seen and supported.
She was also a talented artist for many decades. She loved creating handmade pieces that often became gifts for friends and family. Many homes hold something she made, and many Christmas trees still carry ornaments she lovingly crafted. Shockley was incredibly proud of her son, Frank, and deeply supported him through his journey from his early years into college and graduate school. She loved being part of his world as a teacher and later as a school counselor, always cheering him on and celebrating his accomplishments. Some of her happiest memories were traveling and going on cruises with her husband, Eddie, her son, Frank, and her son-in-law, Art. She also cherished their meals spent together with Norma and the time spent as a family during the holidays, especially Christmas. In recent years, Shockley had found renewed joy reconnecting with her Sussex Central High School Class of 1980 classmates. Those friendships brought her laughter, support and meaningful connection, especially during the last many years of her life. She will be remembered for her empathetic spirit, her passion for helping others and the way she made people feel loved. She was kind, laidback, generous, and the kind of per-
son who would do anything for her family, friends and even strangers. Shockley was preceded in death by her mother, Jessie Donovan; her grandmother, Irene Prettyman; her uncles Walter Prettyman, Richard Parsons and William Prettyman; her cousin Vicki Prettyman; and many other beloved family members. She is survived by her husband of 45 years, Eddie Shockley; her son, Frank Shockley, and his husband, Art Henry; her siblings Norma Hall, David Hall, Eleanor Ireland, Everett Hall, Dawn Hall Williams and Richard Hall; her many beloved nieces and nephews; her cherished Class of 1980 classmates; and a large extended family of cousins, in-laws and friends who were like family. At this time, no formal services are planned. The family will share details soon about a celebration of her life, lovingly titled “Teresa’s Dash Bash,” where friends and family will gather to honor and celebrate the way she lived her “dash” fully — filling her years with kindness, creativity, service and love for others. The lives she touched will continue to carry her light forward. “May we honor her by living our own dash with the same courage, compassion and love she showed every day.” Condolences may be sent by visiting www.melsonfuneralservices.com.

Local organizations offer scholarship opportunities Women’s Club opens scholarship apps The GFWC Women’s Club of Indian River (WCIR), a member of the GFWC International and Delaware State Federation of Women’s Clubs, is offering students attending a school within the boundaries of the Indian River School District an opportunity to apply for one $1,000 scholarship for post-secondary education or career training. The student must reside in the Millsboro ZIP code (19966). The mission of the WCIR is to give back to the community through supporting local projects, veterans and educational initiatives. The WCIR intends to award the scholarship to a student who has shown a commitment to their studies, leadership and to their commu-
nity through volunteerism. Interested seniors planning to attend a school of higher education can apply for the $1,000 scholarship to offset costs. Additional information and applications can be obtained from school guidance counselors, or students can reach out to Janet Dubbert at jmdubbert2@gmail.com. The deadline for filing is April 1.
DCF opens 2026-2027 scholarship apps The Delaware Community Foundation (DCF), a Top 100 community foundation nationwide and one of the largest charitable organizations in the state, has announced the opening of its scholarship application for the 20262027 school year.

enough for helping me to fund my education,” said Mendez. “It meant the world to me.” Last year, the DCF awarded $851,500 in scholarships to 245 new and renewal students from Delaware for the 2025-2026 school year, a 30 percent increase in funds from 2024-2025. The increase was made possible by contributions from philanthropists and donors, such as Michael J. Koziski and Hannah George Koziski, whose new scholarship fund awarded $100,000 to 10 students. To complete the online application, students can visit the DCF scholarship page at www.delcf.org/scholarships. The online general application must be completed and submitted no later than March 15, 2026. All sections must be complete, and all supporting documents must be provided. Partially completed applications will not be considered. That includes any application in which recommendations are not complete. Award notifications will be sent to students on May 15, 2026.

Scholarships are available for high school seniors and college students, including those who demonstrate financial need, maintain a record of academic excellence, students from certain racial or ethnic backgrounds, and students pursuing particular majors, such as arts or pre-med. For the first time in DCF history, there are also scholarships available for students pursuing trade schools. “The generous donors in our community recognize the rising cost of higher education and have established scholarships to help both incoming and current college students reduce their financial burden,” said DCF Grant & Scholarship Coordinator Kelly Sheridan. “In addition to graduate and undergraduate scholarships, the DCF now offers scholarships for trade education, equipping students with skills that lead to meaningful work and vibrant local industries.” Monica Mendez, who won the fouryear Donald and Nancy Edwards Scholarship, graduated from Boston College in May 2025 with a double major in secondary education and Hispanic studies. She was admitted to the master’s degree program in world languages at Boston University. “I am beyond excited to get started in this program. I cannot thank the DCF and Mr. and Mrs. Edwards

Community Millsboro PD promotes and welcome new officers By Laura Walter Staff Reporter Now at 20 officers, the Millsboro Police Department may be closer than ever to having a full roster. The MPD has begun the year with a slate of promotions and new hires, getting closer to their 2026 goal of filling all 21 officer positions. After David Moyer was promoted to police chief, he needed a secondin-command to fill his previous lieutenant position. In fact, the MPD has a large enough staff to warrant two lieutenants to help with chain of command. Lt. Evan Rogers is the new patrol lieutenant. He’s dedicated 17 years to the MPD and served in the U.S. Marine Corps before that. Lt. Jonathan Zubrowski is the new administrative lieutenant. He’s spent 13 years with the MPD and was pinned by his two daughters during his promotion ceremony. Both finalists tested very highly in the promotion process, Moyer noted. “Leadership is only as good as the people you put in place,” he said. For their part, Rogers and Zubrowski said they were grateful for the dual promotion, because they were stunned at the amount of work Moyer previously did alone. Sgt. Michael Gorman (previously a corporal) also stepped up to fill a vacancy, with more than 10 years at MPD behind him. “His servant-style leadership really shone through. … He’s there to help his employees, not just boss them around,” Moyer said. Patrolwoman Autumn Potter graduated from the Delaware State Police academy in February, also earning the Attorney General’s Award for Legal Excellence graduation award. Although she is the MPD’s newest police officer, Potter comes from the Division of Family Services, “where she handled serious cases and worked directly along police officers every single day, so she’s taken that passion for protecting children and brought it into law enforcement,” Moyer said. PFC Ryan Craft is another new hire, whose nearly eight years of policing includes the Seaford Police Department. He’s a Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) with detailed expertise and the ability to testify in

Michael Gorman. court, a position Millsboro didn’t previously have. Patrolman Steven Redner brings heavy police experience from Salisbury, Md., with valuable experience in street patrol. He just needs to complete some trainings to become Delaware-certified. The Millsboro Police Department is paying attention as the municipality grows with annexations, new housing developments, more businesses and more residents. That kind of growth can require either more
staff or redistribution of staff duties. To help police officers focus on patrol work instead of paperwork, the Millsboro Town Council also gave permission to upgrade a regular clerk position (currently vacant) into a police administrative specialist. That person could answer phones but would also have a paralegal certification to draft subpoenas, help draft investigation reports, transcribe interviews, handle evidence and get the highly paid officers back on the road.
The only downside to the personnel shifts is that the MPD would no longer have front-desk staff working on weekends. But office visits are rare on weekends, sometimes as little as three phone calls and zero visitors, Moyer said. “I don’t see the bang-for-the-buck” in paying a weekend employee for that, he added. Additionally, he said, weekend calls can easily be (and have previously been) forwarded to onduty officer phones. Officers can still meet visitors at the station, if needed.

Fort Miles Historical Association to hold annual meeting, presentation On Saturday, March 14, at 10 a.m., the Fort Miles Historical Association will conduct its annual meeting at the Officers Club in Cape Henlopen State Park. Immediately following the meeting, FMHA’s Harry Winn will deliver a presentation on the 8-inch railway guns at Fort Miles during World War II. The public is invited to both the meeting and the program. They should plan on arriving at 9:30 a.m. to enjoy coffee, bagels and doughnuts while mingling with neighbors and FMHA members. Installed as part of the United States’ coastal defense network, the 8-inch railway guns were among the most formidable weapons deployed to protect the Delaware Bay and vital East Coast shipping lanes from potential enemy naval attack. Mounted on railroad carriages for mobility, the long-range artillery pieces represented the cutting-edge military engineering of their time and played a critical role in national defense strategy during the early 1940s, FMHA representatives said. One four-gun battery of 8-inch railway guns was placed in service at Fort Miles in March of 1942, and a second See FORT MILES page B7

Fort Miles Continued from page B4 four-gun battery was placed in September of 1942. Capable of firing 260-pound armor-piercing shells at targets up to 20 miles away, they were the most powerful guns at Fort Miles until the larger 16inch and 12-inch casemated guns were placed in service later in the war. The 8-inch railway guns are often mentioned as part of the Fort Miles arsenal, but details of their operation are rarely explained. Winn has gathered considerable data about the guns and will describe how they were transported, positioned, manned and operated. The Winn family legacy includes mil-
itary roles reaching all the way back to the American Civil War. Winn served in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves from 1966 to 1972, reaching the rank of sergeant. He began volunteering with FMHA as a “bunker buster” in 2010 and later served as FMHA treasurer and board member. After serving two terms, he returned to “bunker busting” and other FMHA activities. Although attendance at the March 14 program is free, online registration is recommended to ensure a seat. To register, go to the Fort Miles Museum website at fortmilesmuseum.org and scroll down to FMHA Annual Meeting; Lecture – 8” Railway Guns at Fort Miles, 3/14/2026 under Fort Miles Tours and Events.

Maly launches mayoral bid, rejects cutting town’s Popular Cops & Goblins Event By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter If he’s elected mayor of Ocean View, former two-term Councilman Tom Maly said, he will strongly support Cops & Goblins, the Halloween festival planned by the town’s police department, and would never suggest discontinuing it due to the annual $25,000 cost or because most attendees don’t live in town. “That doesn’t matter.The children who go to Cops & Goblins are somehow connected to the town, whether their grandparents or someone else lives here. It’s something I would never look to terminate,” Maly told the Coastal Point soon after filing to run for mayor. Councilman Don Walsh and resident Randy Robust have also filed for the seat. Last January, during council budget discussions, current Mayor John Reddington told Police Chief Kenneth McLaughlin that the festival cost is “excessive” and, “We don’t have that many kids who live in Ocean View.” A golf tournament was subsequently planned and proceeds, as well as other donations, funded the 2026 event, after which Reddington said it won’t end. “If it was in danger of ending, I would search around to get private funding, because Cops & Goblins is one of the best public relations things we can do in the town,” Maly said. “I’m in the Fraternal Order of Police. I’m the treasurer of the FOP lodge. We raised $16,700 and contributed it all to Cops & Goblins so they could function. For a community, you can’t beat it. Children associate with police, so they don’t have fear of police, they don’t have fear of firemen.There is no charge for anything.There is no fundraising.There is no jar out for people to contribute. It’s all free, and that’s the way it is. “If it was in danger of ending, I would try to seek help and get donations for it. I lived in Baltimore.The image of the police is not very good, but young kids, they are still impressionable. I think Cops & Goblins is perfect,” he said. Maly, 78, a native of Baltimore who spent 22 years on the police force before retiring as a detective sergeant, served on the Ocean View Town Council from 2023 to 2026, and was mayor pro-tem for the last five years. A full-time Ocean View resident since 2004, Maly — who, with his wife, Katherine, has two daughters, Christine and Lisa — said he “enjoys serving the community.” The grandfather of one granddaughter, 14year-old Ellyse Fritz, Maly said he has been in public service all his life, including in the military for six years, with the Baltimore County school system as public safety director for the community colleges in Baltimore County, and as a police officer. “I have always enjoyed public service. Both my bachelor’s degree and my graduate degree are in sociology. My work as a police officer was a rewarding experience. When you come from a middle-class neighborhood and then you see things like Mountaire Farms packing boxes for Thanksgiving for Thousands, you don’t realize how many people need that help,” he said, adding that he has volunteered to pack boxes at Mountaire. He has been involved in Special Olympics
activities at Camp Barnes and taught AARP safe-driving courses, also as a volunteer. Following a heart bypass problem that sent him to the hospital several times in the past year, he said he is now “feeling wonderful” and eager to guide the town as mayor. “As mayor, you have good times and hard times.”With former Ocean View mayor Walt Curran, he said, “We had to raise the taxes one year, and there was an uproar. But you raise them, then later you don’t have the problem. You can Band-Aid and Band-Aid, and then you might as well do the surgery. “I want to be mayor,” he said, “because I want to continue to serve the community to make Ocean View the best town it can possibly be. I really enjoy living here. I wouldn’t want to go back to Baltimore.This community is wonderful — the events, Cops & Goblins,
the movies at the park, the concerts at the park in the summertime. I want to keep all that going.” Maly said he has worked with Planning, Zoning & Development Director Ken Cimino, the police chief and Town Manager Carol Houck, and “All of them are wonderful to work with.They have done so much for the town of Ocean View,” he said, recalling a time in the early 2000s when news coverage about the town was discouraging. “Every week, there was something bad. Every week, something derogatory about Ocean View, the management.They hired a town manager, and they gave that person a car to commute with, back and forth to Denton, and the Town paid for the gas.That was two town managers before Carol,” he recalled. He was asked to run for the council after
the 2015 death of Councilman Tom Sheeran, who died with about one year left in his term. “I had never been in a political-type atmosphere. Several people approached me,” he recalled. “Tom Sheeran died in office, and a group met with me and asked if I would consider running for one year to finish his term. That’s why I served seven years — because I had two three-year terms plus that one year. I came home and spoke with my wife, and decided to do it. I never ran for political office before. I got tips, what to do, what not to do. “The group in there now, the council, is a really good group. Everybody’s goal is to make the best town.To this day I can’t tell you if Walt is Republican or Democrat or if John or Carol is Republican or Democrat. It’s never See MALY page A34

Maly Continued from page A33 mattered to me, and the whole council felt that way,” he said. Town elections are non-partisan. “My goal is to keep it going the way it is. There will still be issues and projects that are going to be come up. Selling the Town’s water system to a private company was a good idea. I was there on the ground level for that discussion. I’m sure there will be things that will come up. “The police department is probably one of the major things that people appreciate. You come to town. You find a nice house. It has a driveway. It doesn’t have an HOA, but what is
Coastal Point the crime like? That’s what they are concerned about when they come to town. Safety is the most important thing in your life. “The way the police department operates is fabulous. We don’t have a lot of turnover. It’s fairly stable.The starting salary is $71,000, and the officers get a take-home car.The cars are kept up much better if a car is assigned to an officer. If there’s an emergency, they could be called in and that vehicle is fully equipped and ready to go,” Maly said. Eventually, a town tax increase might be necessary, he said, especially since Ocean View is nearly completely developed and not receiving as much in real estate transfer taxes as it once did and the Town doesn’t charge parking fees that can be increased to generate income, unlike the nearby beachfront towns.
“It’s going to come up eventually. We can look at different things, pull the purse strings a little bit in some areas,” Maly said, adding that he will attend council budget workshops, but as a member of the town’s Planning & Zoning Commission, he was advised by a former town solicitor not to regularly attend council meetings because there could be a conflict of interest between decisions made by the council and P&Z members. “Everything from P&Z goes to the town council for approval, so it doesn’t look good. It’s better for me to stay out of it,” he said. If he’s elected, he will have to resign from the P&Z, but he can stay until the election and can remain on the commission if he is not elected. Maly said he would like to see the town
March 13, 2026 continue functioning as it is and sees no need for personnel changes. “Everything seems to be running smoothly. Why change it?” he said. There are also two seats on the council that are up for election this year, representing District 1 (currently held by Councilman John Planchart, appointed to fill the remainder of former Councilman Steve Cobb’s term after Cobb resigned to move to Florida) and District 3 (currently held by Councilman Jay Tyminski). Council members are paid every six months. April and October 2025 payments were $690.41 for the mayor and $517.21 for council members. April and October 2026 payments will be $717.28 for the mayor and $537.34 for council members.

WWII historical book focuses on life of local veteran “The Sole Surviving Son,” a debut historical book by T. Gregory Lynch of Bear, DE, is now available.The book is a true story of the 1943-1945 World War II experiences of the author’s father, Selbyville and Roxana native Thomas P. Lynch, through his journal, photos and 110 letters to his parents. Recipient of four Bronze Battle Stars and the Good Conduct Medal,Thomas P. Lynch was a radar operator with the U.S. Army’s 167th Antiaircraft Gun Battalion, protecting Allied naval ports and ships, military airports and aircraft, and supply lines in Africa, Italy and France. While guarding the submarine and Patrol Torpedo (PT) base on the tiny island of La Maddalena, off the coast of Sardinia, Italy, his battalion was credited with downing eight of 25 Luftwaffe bombers during a Nov. 24, 1943, nighttime attack on the port, a record for radar at that time. Action is, however, not the entire focus of the book — the action is minimal compared to that of many other World War II units and their related, subsequent publications, the publisher said. Rather, they noted, “this book is a tale of human interest. It reveals how a successful, unofficially engaged, 31year-old business owner — despite being a sole surviving son approaching middle age — adapts to life’s curveballs, i.e., conscription, being placed in harm’s way and the resultant consequences of being thousands of miles away from home.” A key theme is the “sole surviving son” status of Thomas Lynch, which is explained through family tragedy — the untimely death of his brother. “That loss, along with his brushes with death during the war and illness, underscores the resilience and the adversities he faces. One sees the realities of war through Tom’s eyes … surviving the cold, hunger, having one’s life jeopardized, being homesick and lonesome, and muddling through the many mundane day-to-day activities of Army life. Yet, most of the letters to his parents end
with, ‘I’m O.K. Don’t worry about me.’ “While the reader is exposed to the ravages of war, its death and destruction,” they said, the reader “also shares in the awe and beauty of the undamaged landscapes and landmarks while learning of the lives of the native people living in the various regions where his battalion is posted.” The book also delves into the family’s roots in Sussex County and their experiences through the Great Depression, painting a picture of American life in the early 20th century. It offers both a personal and historical perspective on World War II and its impact on one person and his family. “The Sole Surviving Son” is available online in hardback and paperback editions, as well as in a fixed-format Kindle e-book. Links for ordering the book may be found by visiting www.thesolesurvivingson.com or going to Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other online outlets. Thomas P. Lynch, a sixth-generation Sussex Countian, died peacefully at the age of 98 in 2009. Born in Roxana and raised in Selbyville, he resided and worked in Seaford during his adult life. He was honored on a banner as one of Seaford’s Hometown Heroes in 2021. Author T. Gregory Lynch is a 1972 Seaford Senior High School graduate with an undergraduate degree in English with a journalism concentration and master’s and doctoral degrees in education, all from the University of Delaware. Prior to his 2020 retirement from UD following more than 27 years of service, he was an educational administrator with a secondary faculty appointment at the associate professor rank in the Department of Computer & Information Sciences. He presently resides in Bear with Pat, his wife of 48 years.They raised nowadult triplets — two daughters and a son — and have a grandson.

Nominations open for Women’s Hall of Fame, She’s On Her Way Awards Gov. Matt Meyer and the Delaware Office of Women’s Advancement & Advocacy (OWAA) announced this week the opening of the nomination process for the 2026 Delaware
Women’s Hall of Fame and the She’s On Her Way Awards. Nomination forms are available online at de.gov/women.The deadline to submit nominations is midnight on April 2.
“Delaware’s history and future are shaped by extraordinary women who lead, serve, and lift up their communities every day,” Meyer said. “The Delaware Women’s Hall of Fame and the
She’s On Her Way Awards give us the opportunity to recognize both the trailblazers whose legacies endure and the young leaders who are already making a difference. I encourage Delawareans
across the state to nominate the women whose impact deserves to be celebrated.”
Delaware Women’s Hall of Fame Established in 1981, the Delaware Women’s Hall of Fame, recognizes and acknowledges the lifetime achievements of remarkable Delaware women.The award is also designed to foster an understanding of, and an appreciation for, the many contributions of all women across the First State. Nominees must have resided (or previously resided) in Delaware for at least 10 years and have accomplishments that leave a lasting legacy.The Hall of Fame Committee reviews applications and selects inductees annually. The induction ceremony will be held in the fall of 2026. As part of the induction celebration, the OWAA continues to commission a watercolor portrait of each Hall of Fame member. The collection of more than 170 portraits is currently on display in the lobby of ChristianaCare’s Center for Heart & Vascular Health, located at 4755 Ogletown Stanton Road, Newark.The exhibit is free and open to the public during regular business hours. OWAA also created a website featuring the portraits and biographies of all the Delaware Women’s Hall of Fame members.
She’s On Her Way Awards The She’s On Her Way Awards, organized by the Delaware Commission for Women, recognizes the achievements and celebrates the contributions of talented young women leaders making a difference in Delaware. All nominees must be young women between 18 and 30 years old by June 30, 2026. Nominees must be current Delaware residents of at least three years who exemplify integrity, leadership and a commitment to strengthening their community. The Delaware Commission for Women reviews all nominations and selects the award recipients, and a celebratory luncheon is held in June. “We encourage nominations that reflect the rich diversity of Delaware’s communities and experiences, including individuals from different cultural backgrounds, abilities, professions and perspectives.”

Powell optimistic about what softball team can accomplish By Mike Stern Staff Reporter As the 2026 Indian River High School softball season begins, head coach Sara Powell is filled with optimism about what her team can accomplish together. “I anticipate a year defined not just by results, but by growth in skill, confidence, resilience, and character,” said Powell, who is starting her seventh season at the Indians’ helm. “Each of our players brings something valuable to this team, and I’m excited to see how those strengths come together to elevate our collective performance.” “A year ago, we faced a few bumps and some adversity, but those hurdles
only made us closer as a team, which I was very proud of,” added Powell, who served as a softball assistant coach for eight seasons before becoming the bench boss. IR finished 9-11 after reaching the 2025 DIAA playoffs. In the postseason, they beat Padua in the first round before losing to Cape Henlopen. Key returning players include seniors Brionna Clark in the outfield and centerfielder Addy Clark. The junior returnees are Parker O’Shields at third base, pitchers Autumn Wille and Maggie Bare, and Jaelyn McCray. Returning sophomore letter winners are Keirra Santarelli and McKenna Class. “Because we lost five starting sen-
iors from last year’s team, there will be many positions open for the taking, as well as maybe some position changes,” said Powell. “This will all depend on what we, as a coaching staff, feel is best for the team! We are excited to see it all come together! We do have some talented newcomers, and we are very excited to see their futures unfold.” Powell said she is looking forward to watching her student-athletes build deeper trust and stronger connections with one another. “Success isn’t only about what happens during competition,” she said. “It’s about how we communicate, how we support each other and how we respond to challenges. I believe that
when we stay united, hold each other accountable, and celebrate both big and small victories, we create something special. “Most of all, I anticipate a season where we push ourselves to improve every day,” added the head coach. “If we commit to consistent effort, positive energy and a team-first mindset, there’s no limit to what we can achieve together. I’m proud of the foundation we’re building, and I can’t wait to see how we grow as individuals and as a team.” Powell will be assisted by Sam O’Shields and his eldest daughter, former IRHS standout pitcher Abigail O’Shields.

Unified basketball loses quarterfinal playoff battle to Newark Charter By Mike Stern Staff Reporter The No. 3 seed Indian River High School Unified basketball team was outscored 11-7 in the fourth quarter and dropped a 33-30 verdict in the DIAA quarterfinals to visiting Newark Charter on Friday, March 6. The defending state champion Indians (4-4) entered the fourth quarter with a 23-22 lead but could not stop the Patriots’ rally. Newark Charter junior guard Jeremiah Harrison connected for three critical free-throws in the final period and finished with a team-leading 10 points. IRHS senior Brayden Bennetch scored a game-high 11 points to lead the Indians, who were ahead 8-6 after one quarter and 15-13 at intermission. Bennetch’s brother, senior Kyle Bennetch, added seven points for the Indians. Kyle Bennetch and freshman Travis Johnson each fouled-out of the game, and Brayden Bennetch finished the game with four fouls. The No. 6 seed Patriots (6-1-2) advanced to a semifinal matchup with No. 2 seed Caesar Rodney, while No. 1 seed Dover took on No. 4 seed McKean. “Our Indians battled through a hardfought contest that never lacked intensity,” said IR head coach Jamaal Bivens. “Senior Brayden Bennetch put the Indians on the board, battling for every point he scored. On several trips down the court, he willed his team to score from the field and the foul line. Travis Johnson also scored, while sophomore Austin Carter and freshman Noeh Rayne did a phenomenal job of grabbing rebounds at both ends of the court.” Bivens saluted freshman Andrew Antol, who drained a three-point buzzerbeater to give IR a two-point lead at halftime. “Starting the second half, junior
Ke’Niya Mitchell had an uncanny ability to be everywhere Newark Charter didn’t want her to be,” said Bivens. “Her sense of defense was impeccable. Sophomore Colin Sheridan managed to annoy the Patriot guards all night long, while senior Luke Williams was able to stay calm in the midst of frustrating situations. “Smooth Kyle Bennetch finished the season as he started it, like a silent assassin as he accumulated points quietly and in a steady fashion,” he added. “Sophomore Cole Lingo gave us the energy we needed in moments of pressure, and senior Baylie Williamson scored the first three-point basket of her career while performing in a magnificent fashion that exhibited her growth in confidence through her time with us in the Unified program. “We are grateful for the memories that were made this season,” Bivens said. “Although I already miss our seniors from this year’s team, I appreciate the family we became. I thank all the family, friends, students and community members that supported our program this season. Bivens also saluted his coaching staff. “To my assistant coaches, Loriann Sentman, Glen Tuckmantel, Alliston Wright and Kristie Van Zee — I couldn’t do it without you,” he said. “Thank you to Coach Sentman for all you do to keep the program running smoothly behind the scenes. Thank you, Coach Tuck,” he said to Tuckmantel, “for helping with skills and drills at practices. Finally, thank you, Coaches Wright and Van Zee, for the energy you brought to the team.” Unified basketball is a Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association-sanctioned sport that provides high school students with and without disabilities the opportunity to train and compete in sports, experience inclusion, socialize with their peers and participate as a true student-athlete.

Clark commits to playing women’s softball at Penn State—Harrisburg Coastal Point • Mike Stern
IR’s Addy Clark signs her letter of intent to play softball for Penn State—Harrisburg.
By Mike Stern Staff Reporter She made the switch without a second thought. IRHS girls’ softball standout Addelyn “Addy” Clark has made playing the middle infield positions at shortstop and second base an art form. Last year, as a junior, she was asked to move her talents to centerfield. The result saw Clark enhance her defensive capabilities and play a flawless
centerfield for the Indians. As a result, Clark recently committed to play women’s softball at Penn State— Harrisburg, a public satellite campus of Penn State University located in Lower Swatara Township, just south of Harrisburg. The Nittany Lions are an NCAA Division III member team that competes in the United East Conference. “It has been such a privilege to watch Addy Clark grow into a collegiate softball player,” said Sara Powell, IRHS girls’ softball head coach. “She is one of the hardest working players I’ve coached. She shows up every day ready to compete, improve and do whatever is best for the team. Her versatility sets her apart. “While she truly loves playing the infield, she stepped up without hesitation last season and took on centerfield for us, embracing the challenge and ex-

celling in a new role,” added Powell. “That selfless mindset and team-first attitude define who she is. Addy’s willingness to play any position needed and give it her all speaks volumes about her character. I am so excited to see all the success her senior season will bring and to watch her continue to thrive at the collegiate level.” Here is the story of how Clark’s hard work and success are taking her to the next level.

Salute to the IRHS Seniors Waters gave girls’ basketball an aggressive presence in the paint, on the boards By Mike Stern Staff Reporter She blocked out two opponents and grabbed the rebound near the opponent’s basket. Seconds later, Indian River High School girls’ basketball senior center Tiarra Waters put the lightest possible touch on a follow shot that kissed off the glass backboard and fell through the mesh. Beginning with her junior season in 2024-2025, Waters gave the Indian River girls’ basketball team an aggressive presence in the low blocks near the basket. She was a considerable force when it came to rebounding and scoring in heavy traffic. “I just gave it my all to help the team,” she said. “I’d say I also contributed a lot to our defense, as well as being a voice on the court.” As a senior, she contributed an average of 5.6 points and 9.2 rebounds per game. Waters also deflected opponents’ shot at-

tempts each outing and added 4.3 steals per match. The talented senior said it wasn’t much of a challenge to contribute to the team’s success. “There were times when I felt I had to take control because our team was counting on me to do my part,” said the 5-foot, 7.5inch Waters. “I feel like our girls were doing a really good job. There wasn’t much I could add or change. We kept their hearts in it.” Waters was a key contributor to this year’s team that put together a school record 11-game winning streak beginning in early January. The Indians finished with a 12-8 record, good for second place in the Cape Henlopen conference’s Southern Division. They ended up tied for 25th place with Delaware Military Academy and Glasgow, barely missing the 24-team DIAA playoff tournament. Waters earned Second Team All Henlopen Conference honors and received an invitation to
play in the prestigious Blue-Gold AllStar Game on March 21, beginning at noon, at Smyrna High School. “Tiarra was our defensive leader of the team,” said IR girls’ basketball head coach Ron Perrell. “She set a great example for the younger players, and she was willing to work with our underclassmen.” Last season, as a junior, Waters was a major player for a squad that won nine in a row and went 17-5, including a victory in the DIAA state playoffs. “Making the playoffs was a huge surprise to me,” recalled the resident of Frankford. “I never thought I’d be able to be a part of something like that.” Waters is also a talented goalkeeper for the Indians’ girls’ soccer team. Last year, as a junior, she compiled a 6-6 won-lost record after taking over the goalkeeping duties for an injured teammate. She attributes her success to the support of her grandparents, Vanessa and Larry Waters, and her younger siblings. “They have had the most impact on my success,” she said. “They all love basketball, and they enabled me to be someone who they look up to and feel proud of.”

Salute to the IRHS Seniors Lucenti answered the challenge in the pool He’s worked hard to improve his swimming
By Mike Stern Staff Reporter He did his part for the Indian River High School boys’ swim team. Senior Andres Lucenti consistently answered the challenge of contributing as one of the Indian River boys’ swim team’s leaders. He typically scored in the top three or four during each swim meet. “Andres is a conscientious swimmer,” said IRHS boys’ swimming head coach Colin Crandell. “He’s always asking how he can improve.” Lucenti acknowledge that it was challenging to be a leading scorer in each meet. “That’s because I rotate through different events and swim when we don’t have a strong-enough swimmer,” said the native of Caracas, Venezuela. “I try my best to contribute to our team by cheering and trying to create an uplifting mood for both the boys and girls.There are many new and experienced swimmers who are very nervous or are worried before meets and races.” At the Henlopen Conference swim meet, Lucenti scored ninth out of 10 in
Coastal Point • Joe Maciey
Andres Lucenti is the second featured IR Senior this week. Lucenti excelled at filling in weak spots on the roster. the 200 medley relay, and 13th out of 20 in the 200-meter individual medley. In addition, he was on the 200 free relay team that finished second overall and finished 14th of 24 in the 100-meter backstroke. At the DIAA state swimming tourna-
ment, he was a part of the 200-yard free relay team that took second place in the final, with sophomore John Lovellette, senior Landon Arauz and junior Caiden Clark, with a time of 1:33.60.
Lucenti has been swimming for 14 years and has worked hard to improve his swimming, as well as his form. He said he is amazed to be part of the IR swim team. “While it is a team effort, one person can make a big difference,” said the resident of Millville. “But it’s the team, including every swimmer, that makes us succeed. The talented senior swimmer also played midfield on the school’s boys’ soccer team and will play boys’ volleyball this spring. Lucenti said he is thankful for the support of his mother, Pilar Alvarez, and father, Angelo Lucenti. “They have supported me in all my different sports,” he said. “They are always there to cheer me and the team on. “Our swimming head coach, Colin Crandell, has definitely had a great impact on me and the swim team,” added Lucenti, who will be studying engineering at a school in Europe. “He knows what we are capable of, and he is always pushing us to do better.”

Excitement in the air for Indians thanks to returnees, newcomers By Jason Feather Staff Reporter In a resort area, tennis — and golf, for that matter — would be a sport that a lot of people would naturally be involved in, especially younger kids who might participate with their parents or grandparents. Such is not the case at Indian River High School, though, where both the boys’ and girls’ tennis teams generally struggle to have a lot of depth outside of their starting lineup. The teams certainly have the quality, but they lack the quantity to build a sustaining program. Many kids are playing baseball, softball, track, lacrosse, or even volleyball, instead of tennis. However, IRHS girls’ tennis head coach Greg Hockman is working hard with assistant coach Allison Sneller to change that, as the duo is back for another year on the courts, and they are excited for the prospects of the upcoming season. “Coach Sneller and I are really excited with what we’ve seen so far in tryouts and the preseason tournament and practices,” noted Hockman. “The girls are coming out every day ready to compete and get better. This might be the most athletic team from top to bottom we’ve had in my five years as the head coach. “Tennis is a tough game to pick up,” he acknowledged, “but having athletes on the court makes the learning curve a little easier. Some of our girls are now playing tennis and/or getting lessons in the off-season, and that really helps as well. We’re wrapping up our preseason tournament — which determines our player rankings and positions — and then we’ll turn our focus back to in-
struction and strategy, so we can be as prepared as possible for our opening match with Lake Forest.” That match is set for Tuesday, March 24. The Indians return two of their singles players from last year, in junior Grace Deale and sophomore Mia MacIsaac. They also have four returnees from the doubles ranks a year ago, with senior Alison Swartz, junior Kendyl Wright, and sophomores Lucille Feathers and Kaelyn Rogers. “With only one senior on the team, we are young, but we have six girls returning with experience from last season, and that has Coach Sneller and I really excited,” said Hockman, whose squad went 5-5 overall last season and tied for the Henlopen Athletic Conference South Division title. “Grace and Mia are expected to be our top two singles players this season. Both of them work incredibly hard on the court, and love playing the tough opponents. Lucille, Kendyl and Alison have also improved from last season, with Lucille looking like she’s ready to tap into her tennis pedigree this season. We’re also happy to see a big jump from Kaelyn so far this season. She looks to be determined to make an impact in the Top 7.” The green-and-gold has a trio of talented freshmen joining the tribe this
season with Molly Hevner, Brenda Pahren and Gabriella Wohlrab looking to fill spots in the starting lineup. “We’re thrilled with our freshman group of Molly, Brenda and Gabriella leading the way, and making a push to get into the Top 7,” noted Hockman. The Indians lost just two key pieces from last year’s team, in second singles player Sara Deery and second doubles contributor Leilani Ehlers. The HAC is always a tough conference, especially with strong programs at Dover, Caesar Rodney, Cape Henlopen and Sussex Academy. Those four schools will likely be the ones to beat again this year, and Hockman said he hopes that the matches his team has in the first half of the season will prepare them for the gauntlet awaiting them in the second half. “The second half of our schedule is really tough, with those perennial tennis powerhouses as our final four matches of the season,” acknowledged Hockman. We’re confident that our team will be ready to face those tough teams, show them that we’re getting better, and not going to back down from the tougher competition.” Every program talks amongst themselves about their collective goals for the season, as well as their individual player goals, and while it is still only just over a
week into the start of the season, Hockman has some ideas of his own. “As of press time, we haven’t had a chance to go over our team goals for the season, but I know we want to compete for the HAC Southern Division, which would require a win over a talented Sussex Academy team later in the season,” Hockman said. “I know we would also like to be more competitive against Cape, Dover and CR. “We simply want our girls to love the game of tennis,” he added. “It’s a sport that they can enjoy as an adult, and it’s a great way to get some fresh air and exercise. If our girls fall in love with the game of tennis, then we’ve had a successful season.” The Indians will open their season with six straight home matches this year, starting with that match against the Spartans from Lake Forest on March 24. They will then host Polytech (March 27), Milford (March 31), Smyrna (April 2), Seaford (April 14) and Sussex Central (April 16). Their first road contest will be at Sussex Academy on April 21, before their final home contest against Cape Henlopen on Friday, April 24. All matches are scheduled for 3:30 p.m. start times but — given how temperamental Mother Nature can be in the spring — times, as well as match dates, can change.

Girls’ soccer in Southern Delaware continues to grow Opportunities for girls to play soccer in Southern Delaware continue to expand as participation and interest in the sport rise across the region, according to organizers of a new soccer program. They said the growth reflects a broader trend of more girls getting involved in athletics and seeking opportunities to play and compete in supportive environments. The Delmarva Rush Girls Summer Soccer League will return this summer for its third annual season. The league, open to girls ages 5-18 from any soccer club or recreational program, has grown each year and is expected to bring together more than 100 players from across Southern Delaware this summer. Organized by Delmarva Rush
Soccer Club, the program focuses on small-sided 5v5 games, a format designed to give players more touches on the ball while encouraging creativity, confidence and teamwork. Games and league events will be held at Sandhill Fields in Georgetown. The league is run by Shannon Anfuso, Delmarva Rush girls’ soccer head of player development and the 2025 Delaware Youth Soccer Association (DYSA) Girls Competitive Coach of the Year, helping ensure players receive a positive and development-focused soccer experience. “Our goal is to continue creating opportunities for girls to play and grow through the game,” said Anfuso. “The interest we’ve seen over the past few years shows that girls’
soccer in our region is continuing to build momentum.” The season will begin with an Opening Festival on Saturday, June 13, followed by weekly games on Wednesdays from June 17 through July 22. In addition to regular game nights, players will also have the opportunity to participate in a special Beach Soccer Night, giving participants a unique summer soccer experience. Photos from past leagues show players competing in small-sided games, celebrating goals and enjoying the community atmosphere that has helped the program grow each year. For many players, organizers said, the league provides a fun way to stay connected to the sport during the

summer months. “I like that it’s really fun and we get to play a lot,” said Lucy Ridgeway of Milford, who participated in last year’s league. “You get more touches on the ball with 5v5, and it’s cool to play with girls from other teams.” Parents have said the program has become a great summer option for young athletes. “It’s been a great experience for our daughter,” said Lucy Ridgeway’s mother, Natalie Ridgeway of Milford. “She stays active, meets new friends, and it keeps her excited about soccer during the summer without feeling like a full competitive season.” As participation continues to grow, Delmarva Rush representatives said they hope the program will help strengthen the network of girls’ soccer players and families throughout Southern Delaware. They said it has also become an important home for girls’ soccer in Southern Delaware, offering programs that support player development and community engagement at multiple levels. As the league enters its third year, organizers are also inviting local businesses and community partners to support the program through sponsorships. Sponsorship opportunities help offset program costs while supporting the continued growth of girls’ soccer opportunities in the region. Players from communities including Milford, Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, Milton, Georgetown, Millsboro and surrounding Sussex County areas are expected to participate in this year’s league. Club leaders said programs like the Girls Summer Soccer League are part of a broader effort to continue building opportunities for girls in the sport and strengthening the soccer community throughout the region. As participation grows, Delmarva Rush aims to serve as a hub for girls’ soccer in Southern Delaware, providing players with pathways to develop their skills, compete at higher levels and remain connected to the game. Registration for the Delmarva Rush Girls Summer Soccer League is now open. Season registration costs $70, with a $15 drop-in option available for players who may not be able to attend every week. Families interested in registering or local businesses interested in sponsorship opportunities can contact info@delmarvarush.com or visit https://www.delmarvarush.com/girls -summer-league for more information.
