Millsboro narrowly approves White Farm prelim plan

By Laura Walter Staff Reporter Over the past two months, the Millsboro Town Council has taken a close look at the proposed White Farm housing development, located in the northwest part of town. It could bring

Surf Bagel, Fenwick get temporary solution to parking question

214 single-family homes to 84 acres along Hardscrabble Road, between Cross Keys Road and Godwin School Road (Tax Map ID 133-15.00-30.01).

On March 2, the council narrowly approved the residential subdivision’s preliminary site plan, 4-3, with dissent from Council Members Mary D’Silva,

Marty Presley and Ron O’Neal.

That was just the preliminary approval. The developer is still perfecting their designs and getting State approvals before they request final plan approval from the council.

The housing lots will average 8,340 square feet, working out to about 3.1

units per acre, in a Medium Density Residential zone. Eventually, a homeowner association would control the common areas, clubhouse, pool, pickleball courts and other amenities. The 50-

Birds of a feather

By Kerin Magill Staff Reporter A Fenwick Island restaurant’s efforts to solve parking issues have led to a move that both the restaurant and the Fenwick Island Town Council hope will help to keep residents and visitors safe.

A request from Surf Bagel to use a nearby vacant lot for overflow parking led to a review of the situation by Fenwick Island’s Charter & Ordinance Committee, which came up with a set of parameters for businesses to apply for temporary permits to use unimproved lots for parking.

Surf Bagel President Matt Patton told the town council this week, during a public hearing on the proposed change to the Town’s parking ordinance, that he realized quickly after the start of the summer season last year that the existing 29-spot parking lot was not sufficient to meet the restaurant’s volume.

Patton — as well as council members and residents who attended the Monday, March 23, meeting — spoke about cars of Surf ’s Up patrons spilling out onto Essex Street and Bunting Avenue and creating hazards for pedestrians and other vehicles in the area.

South Bethany cancels election — will appoint member

By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter Due to a lack of candidates, the Town of South Bethany has canceled its 2026 election, originally scheduled for May 9.

Only Mayor Edie Dondero filed to run for mayor, and only incumbent Councilman Bob Shields and newcomer Steven Gallagher filed to run for town council seats. Each will serve two-year terms.

Councilmen Randy Bartholomew and

Bob Biciocchi did not seek reelection.

One seat on the council remains unfilled, but the council will discuss appointing someone,Town Manager Maureen Hartman said.

Millsboro Continued from page A1 foot-wide streets would be privately maintained but deeded to the Town.

The parking and open space are a bit more generous than Millsboro town code requires, said Jamie Sechler, engineer for Davis, Bowen & Freidel (DBF).

The developer presented much of the plan in February, but the council delayed their decision on preliminary plan approval to March, partly due to questions and concerns, and partly to streamline the process of hosting a public hearing, subdivision plan and preliminary site plan review all at once.

During the public hearing, several residents shared concerns about replacing the existing wooded area with houses, as well as bus stop safety and traffic volume.

Historic site in the middle of a master plan Located west of Godwin School Road, the 84-acre project could be considered the first half of White Farm LLC’s vision for that area. There is talk of another 200-plus houses on 89 more acres east of Godwin School Road (according to a 2021 application to the Delaware Preliminary Land Use Service, or PLUS).

The two parcels meet at Godwin

A3

School Road and the historic schoolhouse itself. Since Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) requires road-safety improvements near major developments, there is talk of realigning Godwin School Road around the eastern edge of the historic school property, to create a four-way stop with Cedar Ridge Drive.

That’s how the historic Godwin School also gets pulled into the discussion, as it’s located on the tip of those 89 eastern acres (Tax Map ID 13316.00-75.00). Godwin School is the Dagsboro Hundred’s last original 1800s schoolhouse that is still on its original site. That earned it protections on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.

“We have a 99-year lease on the school property” from White Farm LLC, said Margaret Mitchell, president of Millsboro Historical Society. She said she feared the impact of more traffic and houses. “There’s been so much work put into really making that a landmark in Millsboro. … We have taken it from the foundation up and put a lot of hardearned fundraising in it, and we want to make sure that school is protected.”

“The final construction plans will have some form of protection for the schoolhouse area,” the application states.

“It’s on the National Register now, which comes with a lot of hoops to jump through,” pointed out Town Solic-

itor Mary Schrider-Fox. Rather than keeping those acres for their future HOA to manage, the developer initially suggested transferring it to Town ownership. But Millsboro Town Council members were adamantly against accepting the historic property.

“There’s no chance I would agree to that,” Council Member Kimberley Kaan had said in February. “The Town had inherited Warren’s Mill years ago. The Town — we love historical buildings, but we don’t have a mechanism in place to provide for their care.”

“We’ve heard the concerns, and we’ll address them, and we’ll make this project something you can be proud of,” concluded John Paradee, attorney with Brockstedt Mandalas Federico, representing White Farm LLC. “We’ll make a commitment on the record.”

Landscaping for the development still needs to be approved, as part of the future final site plan.

“The existing forested area … will be eliminated,” according to subdivision plans. (That loosely equals 15 acres, based on county maps.) The current vision calls for some shade trees, “possible reforestation” and 30-foot landscaped buffer between neighboring parcels.

“They removed all the old-growth when they did Plantation Lakes’ South Shores, and it looked like Agent Orange went through,” Kaan said of another

SBTC Continued from page A1 dero will be serving her second term beginning in the 2026 council year. Annually, council members are paid $1,100, and the mayor receives $1,500.

Gallagher, 67, a New York native, fulltime resident of Arlington, Va., and retired attorney for the federal court system, this week told the Coastal Point that he had run for a council seat two years ago because, for a couple of years, there was no election.

“So my goal was to force an election, whether or not I got elected, because I think elections are so important — particularly when the majority of people in South Bethany are nonresident and it’s difficult to share information and get information to them.”

He said he would like to see the annual election moved from May to the “heart of summer, when you can reach the most people who might want to run, have campaign signs out there, have Coastal Point publishing editorials and all of that,” he said.

“It is educational to the general community,” Gallagher added. “We’re losing that now. While I’m happy to have the opportunity to serve on the council, it’s very disappointing that I’m the only one who filed. It would have been much better, even if I lost the election, to have more candidates. … We have to make it more reasonable for non-residents, because we’re getting more and more full-time people in town, and we have some big, big issues we are going to be working on for a number of years,” he said.

Gallagher called South Bethany “a wonderful town” that is well-managed by a capable staff and said he is not opposed to any policies or current council decisions.

‘While I’m happy to have the opportunity to serve on council, it’s very disappoinging that I’m the only one who filed. It would have been much better, even if I lost the election, to have more candidates.’

“I like the small-town nature the best, knowing people and walking down the street and everybody knows you. You go to the store, and everybody is so polite. It really is a small town,” he said.

Gallagher and his wife, Johanna Kehoe, have two children, Myles Gallagher of Arlington and Erin Gallagher of Alexandria, Va. Shields, 75, will begin a second twoyear term. Before being elected for his first full term, he also finished a term left unfinished when a council member resigned.

A native of Boston who also lives in Northern Virginia, he served in the U.S. Navy for 27 years, then worked for the federal government for 24 years. He and his wife have owned property in South Bethany since 1994.

The chairman of the town’s Bicycle & Pedestrian Safety Committee, Shields said he wants to continue working on safety efforts, including those at crosswalks, and on resiliency. He said he is “anxious to get the York Road work completed and find out what York Road Phase II and Cat Hill will require to give us additional resiliency in those areas.”

He said he is concerned about density on the beach, with respect to large canopies some beachgoers erect for shade.

He said he would like to see them limited to 10-feet-by-10-feet, including support mechanisms.

“To me, the biggest problem facing us is the resiliency,” he added, “and we have to figure out what we are going to do about beach erosion. Supposedly, Congress put $10 million in. I haven’t seen that go into law yet, but I’m hoping it does and we get our share of it.”

Shields and his wife, Jenny, have two children, Sarah Shields and Rob Shields, and six grandchildren.

Dondero was traveling this week and could not be reached for comment.

“Our plan is to keep all the oldgrowth where feasible,” Sechler had said in February. He acknowledged that trees typically come down when land is regraded during development projects.

In other Millsboro news: · All Delaware towns and counties must have 10-year comprehensive plans.

For their five-year review, the Millsboro Town Council unanimously voted to keep the current plan intact, apart from removing an outdated tagline. · The council unanimously voted to continue participating in the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, which brings federal

dollars to make necessary home repairs to keep lower-income families safely living in their homes. · Eyes Inc., an optometry business, plans to depart its current location in the Millsboro Towne Square (the Food Lion-centered shopping center along Route 113) for a new, larger location on Handy Road, near the Avid hotel, just off Route 113 to the south. In connection with that move, the council unanimously voted to annex an acre of land into town limits (Tax Map ID# 2335.00-111.00) in the town’s Highway Commercial zoning district. Dr. Jessica Vanek’s business land is owned by Wine Worx Real Estate Holdings and managed by her husband, Adrian Mobilia.

IRSD hears teachers’ passion, challenges

By Laura Walter Staff Reporter Teachers are delighted to see their students building pyramids in class, or playacting the War of 1812 during their free time. Moments like that show the joy of learning, for both kids and adults.

This month, Long Neck Elemen-

Parking Continued from page A1 “Last summer, Surf Bagel was so busy that traffic to Surf Bagel caused some issues in the area,” Patton acknowledged. “We want to continue to be good neighbors, so this proposal is our best solution to help the parking this summer,” he said.

He outlined the restaurant’s proposal, which would only be implemented during the summer months.

The lot, adjacent to Surf Bagel on Coastal Highway, would include 40 additional parking spots that could be used by Surf Bagel employees and customers.

The entrance to and exit from the lot would be from Coastal Highway, with a one-way-in and one-way-out setup creating a circular pattern of travel around

tary School teacher Amanda Howard shared the joys and challenges that her fellow educators face in the classroom.

As the 2025-2026 Indian River School District Teacher of the Year, she was asked to bring teacher concerns to the Board of Education at their March 23 meeting.

“Teachers continue to demonstrate extraordinary dedication to students

while navigating increasingly academic and behavioral needs,” Howard said.

“One of the most consistent concerns is a growing feeling that educators are not always trusted as professionals. Teachers feel pressure to move rapidly through curriculum, often without sufficient training tools meant to close the learning gaps or adequate time to re-teach important con-

cepts,” she said.

“Teachers want accountability and strong outcomes. They also want to be partners in solutions, not simply implementors of decisions that affect their classrooms.”

She also touched on compensation, morale and “sustainability concerns:

the lot, Patton said. The lot would also be cordoned off to “route people to use the crosswalks,” he said.

“It’s our best option,” Patton added.

“It’s not perfect, but it’s what we have.

We hope we can work together to make [the restaurant’s popularity] less of an impact on our neighbors.”

One resident, Zahra Khaghani — who said her daughter was hit by a car as a child and that the issue of pedestrian safety is “near and dear to my heart” — expressed concern about safety of the proposed parking lot.

Khaghani predicted the lot would be used for beach parking, and would create trash and added traffic on Essex Street and the surrounding area. Patton, however, said the lot would be monitored, possibly electronically, and would be cordoned off after Surf Bagel closes at 2 p.m. each day.

Another resident, former town council member Janice Bortner, said she, too, is concerned about pedestrian safety, pointing out that the Town’s Comprehensive Plan also focuses heavily on the topic.

“I think there are a lot of questions about how this particular parking lot is going to be handled,” Bortner said. “I think this is a slippery slope.”

Mayor Natalie Magdeburger said the proposed ordinance change only gives the town council the tools to consider requests such as the one being made by Surf Bagel. Currently, she pointed out, the Town’s parking ordinance does not allow businesses to use unimproved lots for parking.

“The change would maintain that ordinance, but you could petition the council to get temporary parking for a specific time period,” Magdeburger said,

adding that the council could put parameters in place and would consider each petition “on a case-by-case basis.”

She added that when Dairy Queen was located in the spot where Surf Bagel is now, “Dairy Queen just let whoever wanted to, to park on their lots,” Magdeburger said, “and there was nothing the Town could do.”

Magdeburger said the proposal Surf Bagel has made could help alleviate what town officials see as a dangerous, “untenable” situation, with “cars piling up on Essex.” Last summer, “There were cars parked on Bunting and on Essex,” she said, pointing to one busy summer morning when “an officer sat there and wrote eight tickets.”

The town council will hold a second reading of the proposed ordinance change and a possible vote at its regular meeting on Friday, March 27, at 1 p.m.

Bethany to celebrate milestone year with concerts As the United States commemorates its 250th anniversary, Bethany Beach will celebrate a milestone of its own — its 125th birthday.

“Since 1901, generations have been drawn to Bethany Beach as a place to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the simple pleasures of an oceanside retreat,” town officials said this week.

“While much has evolved over the decades, the Town’s commitment to family friendly recreation and community spirit remains unchanged. The Bethany Beach Bandstand stands as a living link between past and present, honoring that legacy. The 2026 Seaside Concert Series will showcase musical genres that span the breadth of American history, celebrating both the nation’s story and Bethany Beach’s enduring place within it.”

Several notable scheduling updates have been introduced for the upcoming season. Concerts will begin on June 11 — one week later than in previous years. Performances will be held on Thursdays throughout June, with additional special events scheduled during the week leading up to July 4.

In July, the schedule will continue to include Wednesday Family Nights, alongside the established Thursday and Saturday shows, which will continue through August. Select off-night

concerts will also be added during the season to accommodate appearances by traveling military bands.

The fall series will once again host concerts on Fridays and Saturdays, beginning Sept. 18, but will feature only two signature events in October. A mini-Oktoberfest on Oct. 17 will showcase folk band Enzian Musikanten and dancers. The Puppy Pals Live dog show, as seen on “America’s Got Talent” will return on Oct. 24 to end the season after the annual Wags, Witches & Warlocks Parade.

“I typically choose acts that represent various genres of music, but this year, I really wanted to highlight a broad range and honor traditional favorites,” said Events Director Julie Malewski.

For a nod to the early 20th century, the series will host the Delmarva Big Band — an orchestra of local jazz musicians with early ties to the Bandstand, playing legacy and contemporary big-band arrangements.

Notes on the Beach will bring back the Broadway at the Beach evening, playing showtunes from the golden age and beyond. And, dipping back even earlier, Cellofest will return with performances inspired by the music of Bach.

June launches the summer series,

with Richie and the High Street Rockers, a high-energy vintage trio reenacting ’50s and ’60s pop music.

Later that month, A Night of Motown will celebrate the male and female choreographed groups of the ’60s Motown soul era. Quiet Fire brings that a step further with their soul and R&B show in August.

As the season progresses, 70s Flashback covers the full spectrum of ’70s music, including disco, rock and power-pop. Decade80, 80s Mixtape and The Jimmies revive the synth-pop, dance and New Wave sounds of the ’80s. Crash the Limo represents the ’90s club and arena scene, while Larger Than Life pays tribute to the ’90s boybands and throws back to earlier groups, such as the Four Seasons.

Country gets two special nights. On July 4, Uncaged returns with their Zac Brown tribute — this time before the fireworks. On July 25, Stephanie Bell with Little Rock will provide the Ultimate ’90s country show and will open for Kayleigh Clark, as seen on “The Voice” and “American Idol.” That night will also host line-dancing.

“Bethany audiences love rock — especially tributes,” said Malewski. “This season delivers plenty of both.”

Led Zeppelin tribute Kashmir, Rolling Stones tribute Satisfaction and

cover band Kategory 5 all encompass the hard-rock genre. The Seven Wonders Fleetwood Mac tribute and Real Diamond Neil Diamond tribute cover soft rock. Eagles tribute 7 Bridges represent country-rock. The Rock Orchestra performs trop rock with a Jimmy Buffett tribute. High Noon masters Southern rock, and Jesse Garron pays tribute to “the King of Rock and Roll” with his Tribute to Elvis.

Classic-rock horn bands Charlie and the Cool Tones, The Funsters and The Nowhere Men will join Love Seed Mama Jump in covering classic rock and pop genres.

No “America 250” celebration would be complete without the military bands. A beloved Bandstand staple, they’ll honor audiences with their service and fill the stage with worldclass musicianship in July and August.

Summer concerts will begin at 7:30 p.m., and fall shows will start at 6:30 p.m. The Fourth of July week will host nightly events on Sunday through Saturday, and the Labor Day weekend will showcase groups Friday through Sunday. This year’s Fourth of July celebration, with parade and evening entertainment, will be held on Friday, July 3. Fireworks will be held on Saturday, July 4, after the Uncaged concert.

All events are dependent upon weather and beach conditions. Summer movies will take place on Mondays, from June 8 through Aug. 31, on the Bandstand. Fall movies have been removed from the lineup this year.

The Town of Bethany Beach offers these and other events for free to the public, including the Poseidon Festival and Songwriter Showcase.

IRSD Continued from page A5 teachers are held accountable for student learning despite chronic absenteeism that creates widening gaps,” Howard said. “Teachers are not asking for the work to be easier — they are asking for conditions that allow them to do this work well.”

Discipline was a common theme at the meeting, too. Teacher Lee Freeman said Indian River High School does hold students accountable, while being compassionate. But some teachers in other schools feel that students aren’t being disciplined according to district standards — so students being sent to the office, for instance, sometimes feels like a reward, instead of a consequence.

“When discipline is inconsistent, it doesn’t just impact one student … that directly affects learning conditions and education outcomes,” Freeman said.

Howard thanked IRSD officials for recent facetime with employees, because conversations with leaders build trust.

“Teachers are eager to be a part of the solution that meaningfully improve both student learning and the sustainability of this profession,” she said.

Part of the school board’s outreach has included four major surveys conducted or planned this school year.

About 650 people completed the staff survey last November. The administrators’ survey was finished in March, so the school board will discuss results in April. The cabinet-level surveys might just be personal interviews this spring.

Then, a parent/community survey will be issued toward the end of the school year.

They’re hoping employees and families will answer the surveys thoughtfully, so they can identify problem areas and make positive changes.

“We’re hoping to take all this information … know where our issues are

Coastal Point going to be [and] set up some really great action plans, so when we start school in September, we know how to handle these issues,” said Mark Steele, board president. “In meeting with their principals, [district leadership has] already used some of that data from that survey.”

Since that was a one-time survey, Board Member Michelle Parsons has also asked for more input — from teachers specifically.

That’s not to say board meetings have been without staff voices. Anyone is permitted to speak at public board meetings, during the public comments, where employees occasionally share personal concerns or news. In addition, every month, for years, the board has given Indian River Education Association (IREA) dedicated meeting time to speak about current projects or concerns. The employee union represents teachers, paraprofessionals, custodians, secretaries and, more recently, school constables.

“So, when I speak, I am careful to speak in a manner that represents a majority of our teachers and making sure to give them a voice,” IREA President and Selbyville Middle School social worker Blair Catlin Brown said in January.

Typically, the IREA president has brought forward a range of topics: funding referendum outreach efforts; budget and pay concerns; statewide educational updates; and the IREA’s annual scholarship fundraiser. Lately, Catlin Brown has also kept an eye on the Public Education Funding Commission’s efforts on reform.

This month, multiple educators also asked questions about the IRSD’s 2026-2027 draft district calendar, which more people want a voice in.

Calendar planning will continue this month, between administrators, staff and stakeholders. Director of Personnel Celeste Bunting called 2026 a “perfect storm” of competing schedules.

“It’s the latest Labor Day we can have, there’s a primary election, Return Day and Election Day.” It takes a lot of work to balance mandatory student and staff days, professional development days, parent conferences and holidays.

‘One of the most consistent concerns is a growing feeling that educators are not always trusted as professionals.

— Amanda Howard

A7 “The third week in June is late to have students in attendance, and we did a lot to avoid having them come a fourth week in June,” Bunting said.

The calendar committee will seek more staff input and get creative to hit all the scheduling mandates, without ending school too far into summer, she said. The school board will vote on a final calendar in April.

The next regular IRSD Board of Education meeting will be April 27, at 7 p.m. at the former Millsboro Middle School. Committee meetings will be April 13 (Policy at 4 p.m.; Curriculum at 4:30 p.m.; Buildings & Grounds at 5 p.m.; Finance at 6 p.m.), also at the former Millsboro Middle School. The Citizens Budget Oversight Committee will meet April 15 at 6 p.m. at the Howard T. Ennis School. The Community Advisory Board (formed as part of the 2019 G.W. Carver School consent order) will meet May 21 at 4 p.m. at the Howard T. Ennis School.

Sheplee to serve as parade’s grand marshal

By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter Former Bethany Beach Councilman Patrick Sheplee will be grand marshal of the town’s Fourth of July Parade this year, meaning guests will, no doubt, “see something spectacular riding in the back of that convertible,” a smiling parade Chairman Chris Lawrence told the council this week.

cepted when asked to be grand marshal and had said, “Thank God I don’t have to ride in that hot trolley another year,” referencing the traditional conveyance for council members in the annual parade.

With the theme of “Stars, Strips and Shorelines,” this year’s parade will be on Friday, July 3, with fireworks held the following day, along with a celebration of the United States’ 250th birthday and the Town’s 125th anniversary. Designs for the event T-shirt are being finalized, and children’s, adult short-sleeved and

adult long-sleeved shirts will be for sale at town events beginning with the Poseidon Festival in May, Lawrence told the council at its March 20 meeting.

Each year, the parade draws more than 40,000 people to celebrate the annual family tradition, and it requires many volunteers and town staff to plan, set up, deliver and tear down, he said, adding that volunteers are needed.

Public Works, police thanked for storm help Mayor Ron Calef thanked the Town’s public works and police departments for “outstanding work during the Feb. 22 blizzard.”

“They got us through all the downed trees, the downed power lines and all the emergency calls that go along with such a storm. The beach took a hit, but it wasn’t too bad and we have a beach out there,” Calef said.

Town off icials go to Washington Calef recently joined Councilmen Mickey Hinman and Rich McHugh, along with other members of the Delaware League of Local Governments, for Hill Day at the U.S Capitol.

They met with U.S. Sens. Chris Coons and Lisa Blunt Rochester and Congresswoman Sarah McBride (all DDel.) for what Calef called “a very productive day where they gave freely of their time and advice on the conditions that exist there in Washington, D.C. “ “They accepted questions. Some answers we weren’t so happy with,” he acknowledged, “but some others were very positive. One of the things that was expressed was you don’t hear the good in the press sometimes. It’s usually the

A9

more negative and the things that get your attention. Of course, beach replenishment and coastal resilience were talked about,” he said.

Elected officials are working to get funding appropriated to have Delaware beaches renourished, he said.

“If you really look at it and you remember back to 2023, our beach looked exactly as it does right now, and the dune was replenished that year. So, one of the things you have to realize is we lost a lot of dune, but that sand is out there somewhere and, hopefully, it will work its way in and we’ll have a reasonably-sized beach this year,” he said.

McHugh said Coons, Rochester and McBride “wanted to leave us with the message that not all is lost.”

“They were all optimistic about the future and left us with the message that things are happening,” he said.

State legislation related to nontidal wetlands protections is set to be introduced because the Trump administration has “pulled back in protecting them, so the State has to do more to protect them,” McHugh said, adding that nontidal wetlands issues affect Bethany Beach.

Another bill seeks to extend the time for public alcohol consumption in Delaware, he said, moving it from 1 a.m. to 2 a.m.

McHugh brought laughter when he noted that the day of the council meeting was National Alien Abduction Day. He said he had seen a report stating that Delaware ranked No. 1 in the number of sightings and that 12,097 sightings had been reported since 1974.

That means Delaware residents are either “more vigilant than everybody else or more imaginative,” he said.

Legislative report

Bicycle & Pedestrian Safety Committee report

McHugh, while presenting his monthly legislative report, said a bill about affordable housing has gotten through both houses of Congress and that there is hope it will land on the president’s desk for his signature.

He said the Sussex County Council recently introduced the first drafts of ordinances related to recommendations made by its Land Use Reform Working Group, and they concern open space, affordable rentals and cluster subdivisions.

While presenting his monthly report, Hinman — who co-chairs the Bicycle & Pedestrian Safety Committee with Councilwoman Theresa Keil — credited committee members for their dedication and thanked Police Chief Patrick Foley for remaining on the committee, even after being promoted to chief and having more responsibilities.

He announced that a Learning & Sharing Workshop had been planned

for March 26 and was set to bring together representatives from 10 communities to share objectives and talk about how they are working on safety.

Town manager’s report Town Manager Cliff Graviet, while presenting his monthly report, thanked the Public Works Department for removing snow during the Feb. 22 blizzard and for continuing to pick up limbs and branches that fell during the storm. Residents have been cooperating by putting yard waste out to be picked up, he said.

Town officials routinely hear complaints about the Town not plowing or shoveling the boardwalk after storms, Graviet said, adding that it is a popular spot immediately after snowfalls. He explained that the boardwalk isn’t shoveled because shoveling has hurt the boards in the past. Public Works crews tried blowing the snow, but that also damaged the boards and fastening screws.

The damage has been repaired, he noted, but in the future, only the plaza off the boardwalk will be cleared of snow — not the entire boardwalk — “until the snow abates or we have enough staff to do it,” he said.

“We do sidewalks, but the boardwalk has become problematic,” he acknowledged.

Millville Town Council talks public safety Coastal Point • Kerin Magill

Millville Volunteer Fire Company Fire Chief Doug Scott speaks at the Tuesday, March 24, Millville Town Council meeting. The council approved a request from the fire company for a $66,000 grant to be used to purchase equipment for training and rescue.

By Kerin Magill Staff Reporter Public safety was a major focus of this week’s Millville Town Council meeting, with the council considering adding more hours to its contract with the Delaware State Police, as well as approving a fire company grant for equipment and discussing other related issues.

As Finance Director Will Mumford presented highlights from the draft 2027-fiscal-year budget, seeking council input, he told the council that he had added an additional 10 hours to the current 40-hour-per-week contract the Town has with the Delaware State Police during the summer months.

The additional hours in June, July and August would bring the annual contract amount to $331,000, compared to the current $270,0000 the Town spends for state police coverage, in lieu of having its own police department. In addition to the summer increase, Mumford said, “We added a little bit more [coverage] for events.”

Council Treasurer Joseph Parent suggested adding five hours during the spring months to the contract, through which the Town receives additional police coverage from the state police.

“We’re starting to get more visitors coming down here in the spring,” Parent said, “and I think it warrants a little extra coverage.”

Mayor Ronald Belinko said Mumford and Town Manager Eileen Scerra should work up some concrete figures on those potential additions before the council’s April 14 public hearing on the proposed budget.

Mumford said he and Scerra will soon meet with representatives from the Roxana Volunteer Fire Company, to discuss the Town’s funding for ambulance fees for the areas of town west of Powell Farm Road. Those services are now being provided by the Roxana company.

Mumford said the rate the Town pays the fire company will be based on the number of homes in the Roxana coverage area. The Town currently pays the ambulance fees for properties located within the Millville Volunteer Fire Company (MVFC) coverage area.

MVFC Fire Chief Douglas Scott appeared before the council at the same meeting, during which the counSee SAFETY page A11

Bethany Continued from page A9 Ramps from the street to the boardwalk at First and Second streets will be demolished, he said, as it was discovered the substructure was worse than thought. Graviet showed the council photographs of pilings that support the substructure and said he had not anticipated having to replace pilings, which will increase the cost of the project.

He noted that the contractor on the project had said there is a repair method that involves cleaning out the existing pilings and using a substance that is more durable than wooden pilings.

Those pilings rotted because they were buried in the sand, he said.

Ocean View, LWV hosting candidate forum

By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter Candidates for Ocean View mayor and the town council seat representing District 1 will outline their goals and answer questions at a League of Women Voters of Sussex County, Del., forum from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Monday, March 30, in the Ocean View Community Center on West Avenue.

Safety Continued from page A10 cil approved a $66,000 grant request from MVFC for some equipment upgrades to help with rescues, training and other needs.

Scott addressed recent challenges brought by the snowstorm that downed trees and wires, causing widespread power outages that lasted for days following the February blizzard.

“It was quite challenging,” he said, noting that the fire company had numerous calls from residents whose electricity had been knocked out.

“They were frightened that they were going to freeze to death” in the cold that followed the storm, Scott said, adding that the fire company went to those homes and helped the residents find shelter.

He also noted the changes in the MVFC demographics since he first joined the fire company decades ago, when the company averaged about 75 to 80 calls a year. Today, Millville firefighters and EMS respond to more than 3,600 calls a year — 3,000 of those being EMS calls.

Scott noted that the MVFC currently has 15 full-time career firefighters on staff and provides 24-hour coverage.

The $66,000 grant will help the company purchase cameras that firefighters will carry to help them assess fire scenes.

“We want them to be able to see if there are any victims as they’re going through the structure. They will also be able to look at the fire conditions,” Scott said.

He said the fire company will also use the funds to replace some aging firehoses and two hydraulic forceableentry tools.

“These tools will greatly enhance our ability to open commercial doors,” Scott said.

The company also plans to purchase a battery-powered window removal tool, which allows firefighters to better control necessary window removals to ensure the safety of both victims and rescuers.

Gas meters similar to those used by utility companies are also on the fire

The candidates for mayor are former councilman Tom Maly and resident Randy Robust. Incumbent Councilman John Planchart and newcomer Richard Dimock are running for the District 1 council seat. Incumbent Councilman Jay Tyminski is running unopposed for the District 3 seat.

The annual election will be on Saturday, April 11.

Also on the council are Council-

woman Colleen Twardzik and Councilman Don Walsh. Their terms expire in April of 2028.

Earlier, Walsh had filed to run for mayor, but he later withdrew his name.

The mayor and council members serve three-year terms and are limited to two consecutive terms.

Following opening statements at the forum, the candidates will answer questions. Those attending can submit

written questions on a 3-by-5-inch card, with cards and pencils provided at the event. People can also submit questions in advance via the LWVSC website at sussexlwv.org.

Fern Goodhart will be the moderator for the event, and there will be American Sign Language interpreters.

The forum will be livestreamed and available afterward on the League’s website and YouTube channel.

company’s wishlist, in order to measure carbon monoxide, oxygen, hydrogen sulfide and other gases.

Scott said that, with the increasing use of natural gas in the area, in addition to propane, “It’s very important to be able to get a good handle on what we’re dealing with” in certain situa-

tions.

The meters will allow the firefighters to identify and locate potential leaks, with wands that help extend the reach into areas where readings are needed, he said.

The fire company will also purchase a forcible-entry door to allow training

in procedures for situations where such entry is needed, “shaving off critical seconds” in rescue situations, Scott said.

In addition, the company will purchase 10 pagers for fire company members and eight new radio microphones for portable radios.

Millsboro invites volunteers, sponsors for event The Stars & Stripes festival is expanding this year, as a bigger-thanever Independence Day celebration in Millsboro.

On Saturday, June 27, (with a rain date of June 28), the Greater Millsboro Chamber of Commerce and Town of Millsboro will celebrate the United States and joyfully mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence — a milestone known as the Semiquincentennial, under the America250 umbrella.

The once-in-a-lifetime celebration invites every American, from coast to coast, including in the heart of Sussex County, to come together in pride, gratitude and excitement.

Activities in downtown Millsboro

will be on Main Street from 2 to 5 p.m., with a parade, touch-a-truck, live music, youth art show and more.

The annual activities will shift to W.B. Atkins Park (home of the Millsboro Little League) from 5 to 9 p.m., with a Kids Zone, food trucks, local vendors, DJ, photo booth and the big fireworks display at dusk.

“In the town of Millsboro, we are proud to join communities across Delaware and the United States in honoring this historic occasion,” organizers stated. “As a welcoming hometown nestled near beautiful inland bays, rich farmlands and the ancestral lands of the Nanticoke Indian Tribe, Millsboro embodies the diverse stories that have woven the fabric of our nation for two and a half cen-

turies. … Our local history reflects the broader American journey of resilience, community and opportunity.”

The road to 2026 is more than a countdown — it is an opportunity to pause and reflect on a shared past, celebrate the extraordinary contributions of generations of Americans from all walks of life, and inspire one another to build an even brighter future.

Through educational programs, community events, historical reflections and family-friendly gatherings, Millsboro250 aims to highlight what makes the town and country so special.

“Whether you’re a lifelong resident, a newcomer or a visitor, we invite you to get involved!” they encouraged.

People can sponsor the event, register

for the parade, be a vendor, donate to the silent auction or volunteer to make the 250 celebration come to life.

“We’re already excited for the amount of people that have responded in a very short time period,” said Kim Benton, president of the Greater Millsboro Chamber of Commerce.

There are even more opportunities for the public, businesses, nonprofit groups and individuals to get involved.

Details are posted at the Town website at www.millsboro.org/community/millsboro250.php and the Chamber website at www.millsborochamber.com/events.

There are opportunities to be informed The Town of Ocean View is holding a candidate forum on Monday, March 30,in the Ocean View Community Center on West Avenue, from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

And we’ve been seeing more of these over recent years,as local Towns have been proactive in organizing or hosting events that bring their candidates face-to-face with the town’s residents and allowing the public to ask them the questions forefront in their minds.It’s a terrific outreach, and it feels like voters have really had an opportunity in towns such as Bethany Beach,South Bethany,Fenwick Island and Millville to meet and vet the people who are interested in becoming,or remaining,leaders in their towns.

In an age when information,or misinformation,can spread faster than a wildfire,thanks to social media,it is critically important to put voter and candidate directly in front of each other as often as possible,so

the citizens can make as informed a decision as they can when they choose their leaders.

We thought this was a good time to reinforce our policies during local elections.As has been our policy since the start,we do not endorse candidates.We feel it is our responsibility to share as much information as we can so people can make their own individual decisions.We will run a Q&A in our April 10 edition,where the same questions are sent to each candidate and their responses run “as is”in the paper.

In addition,there will be no letters regarding the election in that issue, as people will not have the opportunity to respond to anything stated before the polls open.Therefore,the last issue in which we will run letters regarding the Ocean View Town Council election is next week,April 3, with a deadline to receive them at our office by end of day on March 30.

Learn about your candidates.You get one vote.Make it count.

Spring brings out the optimism every year Of the four seasons, spring might come to the party with more evidence of its arrival than any other.

There is the scent of things coming to life around us, as well as, you know, that other scent of stuff being laid down to help things come to life around us. We get the return of children’s squeals as they leave their winter hibernations and take to area playgrounds.There is the welcomed sight of seasonal-business owners opening up their doors again. And there is that distinct “crack”sound — no, not from my knees when I stand up.The other one.

That sound of bat meeting ball.

Though it’s becoming more year-round than ever, nothing says “spring”to me more than the return of ballplayers to ballfields, be that of the T-ball, softball or baseball variety. New uniforms, Christmaspresent gloves getting their first “real”use of the year and the hope that a new pitch to the arsenal or adjustment to a swing could mean a whole new level of performance personifies everything that spring is supposed to be about — renewal, hope and optimism in Darin J. McCann what is about to come.

And while my own daughter finds about as much joy in playing sports as she does in picking up her bedroom, I find it interesting that she does enjoy walking around the Lower Sussex Little League facility on a random spring evening, eating hotdogs and running into people we know.There’s an energy and sense of community around the ballfields that’s rare to find anywhere else.

There’s a vibe.

The vibe is not unique to the lower levels of the game, either. Go to a high-school softball or baseball game when you get a chance and just soak in the atmosphere.There’s constant chatter in the dugouts, fans discussing every pitch in the bleachers and coaches giving instructions — both of the verbal and mime variety.

If you tune into a college softball game on ESPN, you’ll hear the same sounds: players chanting or screaming support to their teammates, fans reacting to every call, and that aforementioned “crack” sound when a ball flies off a bat.

Or, you know, a “ping”sound more often than not, as most bats are now aluminum alloys or composite construction from carbon fiber, graphite, fiberglass and — I think — kryptonite. It’s only a matter of time before they integrate AI and low-density explosives to create a weapon capable of launching softballs and baseballs deep into that good night and...

But I digress.

The vibe around ball is real, and it extends to the professional ranks. When I was a kid, I would get to five or six Orioles games a year, either with my dad or my youth team or tagging along with a friend’s family.They played their games in Memorial Stadium back then, and the crowd was a dizzying mixture of D.C. lawyers, families and beer-chugging folks enjoying a warm day with tens of thousands of their closest friends. And, to put the proverbial cherry on top, the Orioles were good. Really, really good.

I missed the Brooks and Frank Robinson days, but their shadows still loomed large over the fanbase. Still, I got to enjoy watching Jim Palmer, Eddie Murray, Ken Singleton, Scott McGregor, Mike Flanagan and my first baseball “crush,”Al Bumbry.

Memorial Stadium was rocking those days, and maybe nothing exemplified the “vibes”of ball more than former Orioles’ catcher Rick Dempsey, who would use rain delays as an opportunity to play the court jester role, and run around and slide on the tarp protecting the field, as the dedicated fans would cheer like he just scored the winning run in the World Series.

It was amazing. And it was pure. And if it wasn’t a rainy day, you’d still more often than not get entertained by “Wild Bill”Hagy, a local cab driver who would lead the crowd in spelling out “O-R-I-O-L-ES”to get the team and crowd fired up.

Of course, time always wins, and a lot of those players moved on as the gray in their beards got a bit more pronounced. But they were also replaced by new stars who would get the Orioles fanbase excited, like Mike Mussina, Brady Anderson and, my favorite of all, Cal Ripken Jr. It got kind of dark for Orioles fans for a while there, with a few sunny seasons mixed in to keep the interest at times. But these past few seasons — last year’s disaster notwithstanding — have been good.

A young batch of talent, mixed with a few free agents they were able to add to the mix, have combined to create a roster that appears capable of challenging for a championship this year. Of course, that’s also part of the “vibe”with ball season every year.

“This could be the year.”

Hey, I said spring was filled with hope and optimism, right?

Where do you think that comes from? That’s right. Fans ready to have their hearts broken yet again.

Play ball!

Guest Column Some more news you may have missed

By Jerry Hardiman Special to the Coastal Point With all the recent national and international news, a number of reports and developments have not been given the attention they deserve. Here are some of those reports you may have missed: • Berlitz anesthesia — A 33-yearold man in Utah, Stephen Chase, woke up after surgery speaking Spanish fluently, a language he never studied in school and thought he knew only a few common words. And the surgery team played music, not Berlitz Spanish lessons, during the surgery.

Amazing, but not unknown. Mr. Chase experienced a rare neurological condition brilliantly named “foreign language syndrome.” The news accounts did not provide any medical explanation. Vaya con Dios, mi amigos.

• Another major sport scandal — According to a shocking report in The Week magazine, 20 camels were recently disqualified in a camel competition in Oman for “cosmetic

enhancement.” Judges found that the camels’ appearances had been enhanced by Botox fillers, lip injections, silicone to inflate humps and hormones for added muscle tone. Officials said that strict penalties will follow. (Probably after the current disruption of camel competitions in the region.) This is very serious in camel contests where prize money often exceeds $60 million.

• More mozzarella — As reported in the Washington Post, UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific & Cultural Organization, has designated Italian cooking as an “intangible cultural heritage.” Italian now joins French and Mexican cuisines on a list of honorees. China is not happy.

Its pigeon eggdrop soup lost out to pasta fazool.

There is now some American influence on traditional cooking in Italy, especially with the popularity of pizza, although some ingredients you might find in a pizzeria here, like pineapple, would not be considered edible in Italy. Influence works the other way, too. Our restaurants can improve on

Don’t just go to the movies. Go to the...

Italian cooking. (Have you tried Armand’s Margarita pizza with basil?)

The wonderful Italian restaurants in our area are sure to celebrate the UNESCO award. Watch for the lunch and dinner specials.

• When parents are too busy — Police in South Fulton, Ga., have warned parents to be more careful packing school lunches for their kids. The Week magazine reported that parents were alerted when a student arrived at school with a sandwich, a bag of Doritos and a canned lemon martini, which is 11 percent alcohol. Now what about kids who want to pack their own lunches? The answer is: Let the grandparents do it.

• Driverless driving — The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Tesla plans to introduce a line of selfdriving electric vehicles called Cybercabs when it begins mass production in April. The vehicle does not have a steering wheel, or brake and accelerator pedals. It is basically a sleek-looking metal box on wheels. The plan is to sell them to taxi-fleet companies, Uber, Wayno and individuals to pro-

vide taxi and ride-sharing services.

Tesla is sure this is the future. The sanity question here is, if you call Uber and one of these EVs show up, would you get in? As for me, I’m looking for a yellow cab with a knowledgeable, courteous and helpful driver.

• Volunteers needed for gas study — USA Today and the Delaware News Journal recently reported that scientists and researchers at the University of Maryland have developed “smart underwear” that will record the wearer’s intestinal gas emissions. The gas is recorded by electrochemical sensors in a device the size of a quarter that clips into a person’s underwear. The university team has been working on this project for about five years.

Some may ask, why would anyone want to know? Apparently, gastroenterologists have been clamoring for years for data for patient diagnosis to determine what constitutes normal and excessive emissions. The univerSee HARDIMAN page A16

Letters Curran puts support behind Maly Editor: I write in support of Tom Maly for mayor of Ocean View.

It is good that Ocean View is having an election for the position of mayor.

Elections should have options/choices for the townspeople to decide upon. I had the honor of serving with Tom during my terms as mayor and found him to be hardworking, intelligent and incisive — just the qualities needed during these turbulent times. He has been fair and unbiased in all his endeavors with the Town — attributes sorely needed today.

Having a real interest in what is best for the Town is the bedrock for an elected official. That interest is supported by a knowledge of what has and has not worked in the past. Tom Maly has served for seven years as a councilman and has done an excellent job, through good times and difficult times.

For five of those years, he served as

mayor pro tem under two different administrations. That experience is invaluable for someone who wants to serve as mayor.

This is a time to elect an experienced, dedicated candidate as mayor.

That person is Tom Maly.

Building thanks with flowers chapter has made a meaningful impact on our school, and our members, and our community,” said Maria Gutierrez-Carcamo, a SCHS senior and chapter president. “Because of your commitment, we are able to provide students with opportunities that extend far beyond the classroom: opportunities that build leadership, responsibility and a deep appreciation for agriculture and the world around us.”

This is students’ first year in the brand-new building, where construction is nearly done on a three-story space meant to relieve overcrowding after many years. A few outstanding projects include the existing theater renovation and new performing arts entrance and courtyard.

St. Ann’s Delaney Hall to host trivia-night fundraiser Brains, bragging rights and friendly competition will take center stage at the Annual Trivia Night fundraiser for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVdP), St. Ann’s Conference, on Saturday, April 25, at 6 p.m. in Delaney Hall, 691 Garfield Parkway, Bethany Beach.

All proceeds will benefit the work of SVdP, which provides financial and spiritual support to local neighbors in need.

That support includes a food pantry that supplies more than 250 families each month, as well as assistance with utilities, rent and medicines, among other needs.

Last year’s winning team, “The Treble Makers,” composed mostly of St. Ann’s choir members, will return to defend their title and bragging rights.

Challengers from the community are being invited to form teams and at-

tempt to out-trivia the reigning champs.

The event promises a lively evening of general knowledge questions covering a variety of topics, along with laughs and camaraderie.

The $40-per-person admission includes snacks, a buffet dinner, dessert, bottled water, coffee, tea and prizes for the top teams. It is a BYOB event.

In addition to the trivia competition,

attendees can try their luck in a 50/50 drawing and take a chance on winning an assortment of gift cards.

Trivia buffs, friends, neighbors and anyone looking for a fun night out supporting a local cause is welcome to attend.

it and digest the budget plan for the next five years. That is something I would have to look at deeper. I foresee, down the road, as traffic grows, they are going to have to hire a couple more policemen. They have a really good, strong police department,” he said.

Dimock graduated from Towson State University. A former Boy Scout leader and girls’ basketball coach, he said being involved in sports taught him

that tennis and golf are one-person sports, “but when you play team sports, you can’t be a selfish player.”

“The ball has to be in everybody else’s hands, because if somebody else has a better shot and you pass them up, you become a selfish player, and you don’t want that. I want to be proactive.

It’s always about doing the right thing for the community. I think sometimes politics gets in the way, and I’m not in-

terested in that. I’m interested in what’s good for everybody,” he said.

Ocean View Town Council members serve three-terms and are limited to two consecutive terms. They 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.

Continued from page A18 ber and helping to organize Safe Tables Our Priority (STOP), a food-safety organization in the Washington, D.C., area.

“We would go to the Capitol and try to get senators and congressmen to support our bills for food safety,” he said.

“Everybody is concerned with taxes, and because I had a business, I was used to running on a budget,” Dimock noted.

“That part of my background is exceptional — budgeting, where you can cut out certain things. And I think a lot of retirees that retire here are concerned with those types of things. Safety is a big thing. We have a great police department in Ocean View. I think some of the speed limits on Central and Woodland, people go a little bit fast there. There are a lot of bikers in the summertime, children and grandchildren.

“Ocean View is still a growing community, and I think we have to look ahead five years, seven years, and forecast what the needs are. We’re going to go through some real growing pains in Ocean View, and we have to watch taxes and watch expenses. … [ John] West Park is great. We’re fortunate that we have the exceptional grocery stores that we have. I have been at the last two budget meetings in Ocean View. Because of my business background, I bring a lot of experience into the financial part of a town. That’s where my background is. To move costs in one direction or the other helps a lot to keep costs down,” said Dimock, who, with his wife, has a son, Jack Ridenour.

He credited Mayor John Reddington and council members for keeping the community in mind as decisions are made and said he is always thinking of ways to cut costs. He is concerned about the Town borrowing money, he said, as the council had recently discussed doing so to pay for infrastructure upgrades.

Dimock said it could “handcuff the Town.”

“It helps the Town in many ways, because it allows them to have some finances so they don’t have to go to the homeowners, but maybe they could have found money in a different way or didn’t need to do all the projects. I would have to sit back and understand

Sussex Preservation Coalition under new leadership Coastal Point • Submitted

SPC President Joe Pika gathers with outgoing president Jill Hicks and former president Jane Gruenebaum.

On March 11, attendees at the Sussex Preservation Coalition’s monthly meeting witnessed the official passing of the baton. Earlier in the week, the group’s board of directors had accepted Jill Hicks’ resignation as president to pursue her candidacy for Sussex County Council, representing District 5. In a

unanimous vote, Joe Pika was elected their new president, and Pam Cole was elected vice-president.

Standing with Pika and Hicks was Jane Gruenebaum, co-founder of the coalition and now member of Sussex County Council, representing District 3. Hicks, a former music educator, chose the conductor’s baton with “SPC President” engraved as the ceremonious instrument to commemorate the occasion.

In her remarks, Hicks thanked Pika for his two years serving as vice-president and expressed her gratitude for his guidance and mentorship — particularly through the Land Use Reform Working Group, in which Hicks participated.

“With Joe’s leadership and organization skills, he is the best person to lead SPC into the future and the County’s upcoming work on the Comprehensive Plan,” Hicks said.

“Joe has been a tremendous help to me and the board as we navigated our way through the Land Use Reform Working Group and several land-use hearings, as well as our own strategic planning. I’m excited to see what the Coalition will accomplish with Joe and Pam at the helm.”

Pika is a retired professor and associate dean at the University of Delaware, where he completed 35 years teaching and writing about American politics. During his career, he worked extensively with state government and served as a member and president of the State Board of Education, as well as on many educationrelated committees and task forces.

He is also a member of Save Our Park (POP), the Historic Lewes Byway Committee and Rethinking Delaware.

Cole holds a master’s degree in environmental science and public policy, and had a 30-year information technology career in local government. Environmental causes have been a longstanding priority for her.

Now retired, she spent her career applying her skills in IT toward environmental and public health projects.

The Sussex Preservation Coalition was founded in 2022, after Gruenebaum and Hicks fought and failed to save a 110-acre forested wetland behind Hicks’ home.

Through that experiences, they said, they learned that Sussex County has no protections for its forests and that developers were permitted to clear cut forests over large swaths of land, including wetlands. That is when they turned their attention to the land-use codes of the County.

Shortly after filing as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the coalition grew to more than 4,000 members. Today, they aim to serve as an important voice for the residents of Sussex County.

BBVFC to host community open house June 6 Residents and visitors alike will have an opportunity to step inside a local fire station and meet the people behind the gear when the Bethany Beach Volunteer Fire Company (BBVFC) hosts a public open house on June 6 from noon to 3 p.m.

The event, open to all ages, is designed to give the community a closer look at how the fire company operates, while promoting fire safety awareness and encouraging community engagement. Attendees will be able to tour the station, learn about emergency response procedures, participate in an open question-and-answer session and learn how to become a member of BBVFC. The open house will feature guided tours of the building throughout the day.

Visitors will see firsthand where firefight-

ers train, prepare for emergencies and house their equipment. Fire apparatus and gear will also be on display, offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the tools used to protect the community.

In addition to tours, the fire company will host a presentation highlighting its operations, history and role within the Bethany Beach area.The presentation is expected to cover topics including emergency response times, types of calls handled and ongoing efforts to maintain readiness throughout the year.

A dedicated question-and-answer session will follow the presentation, giving attendees the opportunity to speak directly with firefighters. Community members are being encouraged to ask about fire prevention, safety practices and even what it takes

to join the department as a volunteer.

The event also aims to strengthen ties between the fire company and the residents it serves. As a volunteer-based organization, the Bethany Beach Volunteer Fire Company relies heavily on community support, both in terms of participation and awareness.

The open house is essential for building trust and transparency, organizers said.

“By opening BBVFC doors, we hope to foster a better understanding of the challenges firefighters face and the importance of fire safety measures at home and in public spaces.”

Families with children are especially being encouraged to attend.

“The open house will provide a welcoming environment where younger at-

tendees can learn about fire safety in an engaging and approachable way.”

The June 6 event is part of the fire company’s ongoing efforts to connect with the public and highlight the importance of preparedness.

“Whether attendees are long-time residents or new to the area, the open house offers a valuable opportunity to learn more about one of Bethany Beach’s most vital services.”

No registration is required to attend, and visitors are welcome to stop by at any time during the event hours.

“As the date approaches, BBVFC looks forward to welcoming the community and sharing a closer look at the work they do every day to keep Bethany Beach, Del., safe.”

Millville Volunteer Fire Company appoints new EMS chief Millville Volunteer Fire Company (MVFC) President Gregory Hocker and Fire Chief Douglas Scott announced this week the appointment of Guy L. Rickards as the EMS chief of the fire company.

Fire Department (OCFD), where he served as a battalion chief. Rickards also managed the OCFD Rescue Swimmer Program until his retirement in 2020.

Additionally, Rickards brings extensive operational and administrative experience from the Millville VFC, holding many line-officer positions, including eight years as the company’s

fire chief.

Rickards is a National Board of Fire Professionals “Pro Board” Fire Officer IV and has attended the Maryland Fire & Rescue Institute (MFRI) Staff & Command School.

Rickards is also an instructor for the Delaware State Fire School, teaching Fire Academy and Fire Officer classes.

“We are pleased to announce the appointment of Guy Rickards, a true fire and EMS professional to the position of EMS chief,” Scott stated. “We look forward to supporting Chief Rickards and moving the Millville Volunteer Fire Company EMS service forward in service to the community.”

Rickards will start as the EMS chief on April 8.

Committee for RD-4 endorses Lindner for House seat Gregg Lindner has been unanimously endorsed by the RD-4 Committee as the Democratic candidate for the 4th District seat in the 2026 Delaware State House election.The district includes parts of Lewes, Millsboro, Oak Orchard, Long Neck, and the surrounding Peninsula and Peninsula Lakes communities.The seat is currently held by Jeff Hilovsky.

Lindner, who recently retired as president of a multinational media company with operations in the U.S. and Latin America, brings decades of experience in both business and public service. During that time, he also served for eight years as an elected school board director for the Unionville Chadds Ford school district in Chester County, Pa. “Gregg’s positions reflect the concerns of RD-4 residents who experience the daily effects of unchecked growth, including im-

pacts on water quality, the loss of forests, constant development, and a population within our immediate area that has more than doubled in the past decade,” committee representatives said. “This unchecked growth has put a strain on the roads, the medical services, schools and affordable housing.These challenges require a representative who will stand up and fight for our residents and understand the coordination necessary between state and county leadership.”

Lindner, they said, will also focus on key issues increasingly affecting Delawareans, including energy needs, the shortage of workforce housing, support for residents of manufactured housing communities and rising food insecurity. In addition, he said he is committed to advancing constitutional amendments to protect voting rights, reproductive freedom and marriage equality in

Delaware.

“These rights are not guaranteed, and it’s critical that we secure them for future generations,” Lindner said, adding that, as an elected official, he will work to ensure these protections are firmly enshrined in our state constitution.

On education, Lindner recognized the need for structural changes in the state education funding process that is more than 70 years old and that he said is not properly serving the community and state. Additionally, he noted, while county impact fees will help fund new school construction, they do not address the rising operational costs facing school districts. Lindner said he believes the local school referendum process must be reformed by the state to ensure stable funding and quality education for students. Unlike neighboring states, he said, Delaware’s outdated funding systems require meaning-

ful reform enacted with urgency.

Lindner said he believes that education reform, workforce housing and more medical services within the community are linked and necessary to better serve the enormous growth seen in the district and region.

Lindner’s early campaign launch is a continuation of his momentum from his 2024 statehouse race.

“It’s time for change — one that reflects the evolving needs of both longtime and newer residents of the district,” Lindner said.

He and his wife, Kathy, have five grown children.

Before entering real estate,Townsend held a leadership position as a clinical engineering manager in the healthcare field.

His background managing complex operations and systems sharpened his organizational skills, attention to detail and ability to guide clients through important decisions, representatives said.

A military veteran and active member of the Coastal Delaware community, Townsend said service remains central to his approach.

“Coastal Delaware offers a unique lifestyle, and I look forward to helping clients navigate the process with clarity and confidence,” he said.

“Sterling brings discipline, experience and a thoughtful approach to his work,” said Kathleen Schell, strategic marketing director of the Coastal Division. “His background in leadership and his commitment to client service make him a strong addition to our team.”

“Sterling understands that real estate is built on preparation, communication, and trust,” added Justin Healy, Broker of the Coastal Division. “We’re thrilled to welcome him to the brokerage.”

Organizers noted that they are proud to have maintained a $35 advance ticket price. This year, tickets purchased at the door will cost $45 each.

“Attendees always mention the good food, drinks and auction, but it always comes back to spending time with friends and community in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Whether you are a 1969 graduate or a 2025 graduate, the night is about coming together as a family to support the students and staff at Indian River High School.”

The Indian River High School Alumni Association was formed in 2012 to connect alumni while supporting the local high school community.

And “like a fine wine, they get better

with time,” representatives said. The nonprofit organization first gathered informally in a small office and can now look back at many accomplishments over the years, including support to student clubs, building infrastructure and $110,000 in scholarship money to IRHS seniors and alumni.

“These accomplishments are thanks to the committed individuals who organize the events and the local community that always supports and embraces the IRHS Alumni with donations and attendance.”

Individuals and organizations can show their support by making a donation of prize items or scholarship funds.

To purchase a ticket or make a donation, visit www.irhsalumni.com, send an email to IndianRiverAlumni@gmail.com and/or follow the Facebook page “Indian River High School Alumni.”

Big Wave Construction workers excavate trees that fell across the Assawoman Canal during the Feb. 22 blizzard, making the waterway impassable. The Selbyville company, owned by Josh Boyer, was hired by DNREC to remove the trees along seven to nine miles of the canal using an excavator to lift them. They are then being dragged behind Boyer’s barge, taken to land, cut, piled and made ready for DNREC workers to pick up and take to a recycling area for green waste. Assisting Boyer are RG Murphy Marine Construction in Bishopville and Boyer’s father’s company, AHS Construction in Selbyville. Work began on March 19 and was expected to continue eight to 10 days. DNREC is paying for the job by the day, with payment expected to total about $100,000.

Schell Brothers contribution supports land conservation in Sussex County The Sussex County Land Trust announced this week that Schell Brothers has made a contribution to support land conservation efforts in Sussex County through a $1,000-per-lot donation associated with the Channel Point community.

With 70 home sites planned, the contribution represents an investment in the preservation of Sussex County’s natural, agricultural and cultural landscapes, SCLT representatives said.

The donation stems from an agreement between Schell Brothers and the Carl M. Freeman Companies, and Schell Brothers chose to carry that commitment forward in support of the Land Trust’s conservation work, they said.

“This type of partnership demonstrates how thoughtful development and land conservation can work hand in hand,” said Sara Bluhm, executive director of the Sussex County Land Trust. “We are grateful to Schell Brothers for recognizing the importance of protecting the land and resources that make Sussex County such a special place to live.”

The contribution comes at a time when the Sussex County Land Trust is launching See SCHELL page B11

Schell Continued from page B6 its newly adopted mission, vision and values statements, which are set to guide the organization’s work across the county.

The Land Trust’s new mission is “Safeguarding the land and resources that make Sussex County special,” supported by a vision of “a protected and connected network of natural and cultural places for all to enjoy.”

“These partnerships reflect the values that guide our work every day,” Bluhm said.

“Stewardship of the land, sustainability in how we grow and collaboration with partners across Sussex County are essential to

ensuring that the places people love today remain protected for generations to come.”

Funds from the contribution will support the Land Trust’s ongoing efforts to protect working farms, forests, waterways and open space, while expanding opportunities for residents and visitors to connect with the outdoors.

As Sussex County continues to grow, collaborative partnerships between conservation organizations, landowners and responsible developers are increasingly important to preserving the region’s natural character and quality of life, representatives said.

Sussex Academy sixth-graders explore Wallops Island Flight Facility Sussex Academy sixth-graders on March 4 explored Wallops Island Flight Facility to cap off their Earth in Space unit. Students rotated through four stations at the Virginia-based flight facility, said science teacher Stacy Lawson.

They took a guided journey through the solar system to reinforce information about the planets, moon and more; worked in teams in a hands-on engineering challenge in the Mission Explorers STEM lab; learned coding and robotic concepts at the Workforce Development Center; and delved into interactive exhibits at the Wallops Exhibits Area, where they also heard from Chincoteague Bay Field Station educators about creatures that live in the bay.

The trip was paid for, in part, through a Rodel Foundation grant, said Middle School Dean Rachael Johnston.

“We are grateful for the opportunity this support provides to expand meaningful field experiences that enrich learning beyond the classroom and allow students to explore, connect and grow through real-world opportunities,” Johnston said.

Sussex Academy Chief of Student Services, K-12, Sherry MacBury said the $75,000 grant is being used to fund a leadership development program for the middle school and to provide field

How Beebe rescued me from my own decisions

Special to the Coastal Point • Submitted

Bob Herrington, left, with Dr. Robert Myers of Beebe Healthcare.

By Robert Herrington Special to the Coastal Point On July 6, I made a bad decision. I was wrong, and I am sharing this to help anyone who has a similar experience. Do not be dumb like I was.

Overexerting myself on that day, I became short of breath and felt pressure,

like I had eaten something that gave me indigestion.

Despite having served many years as an EMT and paramedic, and also having served as a nurse, I did the “dumb man” thing and reasoned, “This will pass. It’s probably indigestion.” Even having bypass surgery as part of my history, I continued to rationalize it away.

Well, it wasn’t any of the things I had conjured up in my mind! Over the next couple of weeks, I was exhausted all the time and lost my zeal for working and playing.

A visit to my primary care physician, Brian Caswell-Monack, DO, gave me a referral to the cardiologist, Ramon Rosa, MD, in Lewes, and suddenly all sorts of things began to unfold in no uncertain terms. Dr. Rosa let me know I had to make this my top priority to deal with, as he suspected serious trouble. He got me in as a priority case to have a nuclear stress test.

It was then that things really escalated. Dr. Rosa sat me down and said, “You have damage we can see, and we need to get you in as fast as we can for a cardiac catheterization.”

And so it was that within “no time flat,” as they say, I was in the care of amazing, kind and wonderful people in the Cardiovascular Institute at Beebe Healthcare. Everyone was impressive, and I felt safe. They explained everything. They all exuded genuine caring and the highest level of skill.

As it turned out, due to my previous bypass, my procedure turned out to be more diagnostic than any attempt to put in a stent. Dr. Rosa held a conference with three cardiovascular specialists, and it was determined that I needed a stent

in the circumflex artery. A second procedure was scheduled, and suddenly Robert Myers, MD, appears!

Dr. Myers explained to me that he had studied the films of my previous catheterization, and he was convinced that he could place the stent by going through my right radial artery (wrist).

But if that was not successful, it would be necessary to go through the femoral artery by accessing it in the left inguinal area. Dr. Myers didn’t just jump to that — he discussed it with me and asked me if that was OK. I said, “You’re the doctor. You know best.”

In just 32 minutes, I was out of the operating room and in recovery.

In the recovery room, I felt the splendor of fresh air entering my lungs with absolutely no shortness of breath.

The pressure in my chest was gone. It was amazing! Recovering at home, I felt alive again. I wanted to go back to work.

I wanted to play with my antique cars and visit my friends. The team at Beebe gave me back the pleasure of living!

The point of my story is this: Don’t be dumb like I was! If you have chest discomfort and shortness of breath, or prolonged indigestion — call 911! I was a paramedic and certified in advanced See HERRINGTON page B21

Herrington Continued from page B20 cardiac life support, yet I was still capable of denial, rationalization and, yes, simply capable of being a stupid man.

Stereotype accepted!

If you have these symptoms, splendid people at Beebe Healthcare are ready to care for you. Sharp doctors like Dr. Rosa and Dr. Myers, caring nurses, skilled technicians and, I’m sure, so many others, are there and ready to save you.

Beebe Healthcare’s Cardiovascular Institute is truly amazing. In spite of my dumb procrastination, rationalization and denial, these people — once I got in their care — gave me back my zest for life and probably actually saved my life.

Three cheers for Drs. CaswellMonack, Rosa, Myers, the nurses and staff of the Cardiovascular Institute at Beebe Healthcare! May God bless them all!

People can celebrate the compassion and care they received at Beebe Healthcare by sharing their story and honoring a Beebe team member or department.

Southern Delaware Tourism announces photo winners

Special to the Coastal Point • Joe Maciey

Joe Maciey was recognized for this photo taken at last year’s Senior League Softball World Series in Roxana.

Southern Delaware Tourism (SDT) this week announced the winners of its 2026 Southern Delaware Photography Contest, the 10th annual contest held by the organization.

“Many thanks to all of the talented photographers who entered this year’s

contest,” organizers said. “SDT is extremely grateful to professional photographers Pam Aquilani and Tony Pratt who served as judges for this year’s contest and also thankful for the support of tourism partners who contributed contest prizes, including Boardwalk Plaza

Hotel, Henlopen City Oyster House, Delmarva Board Sport Adventures, Delaware State Parks, Hampton Inn Rehoboth Beach, Woody’s Dewey Beach, PUPS of Lewes, Hyatt Place Dewey Beach, Nalu Surf Bar & Grill, Milton Theatre, Staybridge Suites Rehoboth Beach, SoDel Concepts and Clear Space Theatre.”

“Each year, the Southern Delaware Tourism photo contest sees more entrants, which makes it both more competitive and more difficult for the judges to narrow down the choices to one winner in each category and a grand prize winner,” judges Pam Aquilani and Tony Pratt said. “There were many great contenders for each of the categories, so judging was, while enjoyable to review all the great photos, hard to choose only one.”

The winners are: • Grand Prize — Mark Stelmack of Frankford. “Egrets at Assawoman Wildlife Area, Frankford.” Judges’ notes: “The Grand Prize winner is unique among the entrants. Its subtlety, beauty and grace separate it from others in how it sets a calm coastal vibe through simplicity and terrific compositional elements. Seen in its whole, a diagonal line between the reeds and the egrets creates visual interest. The bird’s reflections, the overall white, only contrasted by the yel-

low bills and green leaves, emotes calm and peacefulness which grabs the viewer’s attention. It is a truly beautiful photograph.”

• Southern Delaware Freestyle — Beth Baker of Greenwood. “Kayaker on Trap Pond, Laurel.” Judges’ notes: “A photograph that makes you want to be right there in that location doing exactly what you see is very compelling. Our winner in the Freestyle category is just such an image. The entries in this category were the largest numbers in the contest, so it was hard to choose just one. Reflections in the water of the trees, clouds and swirl of water left by the paddler are great visual elements.

Equally so are the complimentary colors of blue and green with the bright yellow kayak. Overall, a most appealing photograph of a great moment at a great location.”

• Southern Delaware Dog Days — Julia Evans of Millsboro. “Dog on Fenwick Island beach.” Judges’ notes: “Big sky, big reflections, a long shadow and the star of the show is the little dog. Its red and white sweater and isolation bring our eyes right to the subject in this photo. While there are so many big elements in this photograph the little dog steals our attention and with that, See PHOTOS page B23

With a mission rooted in “gardening to make a difference,” the garden center aims to continue to educate and inspire the community through hands-on learning and meaningful gardening experiences.

The 2026 spring workshop series offers something for everyone — from beginner gardeners to seasoned plant enthusiasts. The season begins on Friday, March 27, with “Tiny Gardens, Big Smiles: Terrariums in a Bowl,” a hands-on class where participants create their own miniature living landscapes under the guidance of artist MaryAnn Curzi.

On Saturday, March 28, Inland Bays Garden Center will host a special col-

laborative event with Wild Ones Delmarva, featuring keynote speaker Helen Raleigh of Story Hill Farm. The educational session will highlight the importance of native plants in supporting pollinators and restoring natural habitats.

April begins with the Bonsai Club meeting on Wednesday, April 1, welcoming both beginners and experienced growers to explore the art of bonsai.

Families are being invited to attend “Wild About Birds” on Wednesday, April 8 — a hands-on, family-friendly program presented in partnership with the Delaware Center for the Inland Bays.

Gardeners looking for practical solutions can join “Gardening in Deer Country” on Saturday, April 11, which focuses on plant selections and design strategies for creating beautiful deer-resistant landscapes.

Creative spirits will enjoy “Treasures of the Tide,” a coastal-inspired specialedition sea-glass art workshop on Sunday, April 12, where participants will create their own unique piece using natural materials.

“This contest was established to celebrate Southern Delaware and to keep our destination top of mind for visitors and potential visitors year-round,” said Scott Thomas, executive director of SDT. “We received entries from all over the Mid-Atlantic and beyond. The entries clearly demonstrate the variety and richness of experiences available in Sussex County and the incredible enjoyment people get from visiting and living here.”

This fall, Southern Delaware Tourism will make the announcement of its 2027 photo contest, which will open for entries on Jan. 1, 2027.

On Saturday, April 18, “Home Meadow Magic — Mini Meadows That Bring Life to Your Yard” will introduce gardeners to the beauty and ecological benefits of creating smallscale native meadows.

In celebration of Earth Day, “Gardening in Small Spaces” will take place on Wednesday, April 22, offering ideas for creating meaningful, sustainable gardens in even the smallest areas.

A highlight of the season, “Pots of Possibilities — Spring Beginnings,” will be held on Friday, April 24, offering a hands-on container gardening experience where participants design and plant their own custom spring arrangements.

The month will conclude with “Growing Pollinator Gardens in Your Community” on Saturday, April 25, an

informative workshop focused on creating sustainable, pollinator-friendly landscapes in both residential and community settings, with an optional onsite visit to Sea Colony.

“Our goal is to make gardening approachable, inspiring, and impactful,” said Sandy Daniels, event coordinator at Inland Bays Garden Center.

“Whether you’re planting your first container or transforming your landscape with native plants, we want every visitor to feel confident, welcomed and excited to grow.”

Workshops fill quickly, and early registration is being encouraged. Email info@inlandbaysgardencenter.com or visit inlandbaysgardencenter.com/events for more information, class schedules and registration.

Obituaries Dorothy Adele Boyle, 91 Dorothy Adele Boyle, 91, of Dagsboro, Del., passed away peacefully, at her home, on March 14, 2026, surrounded by Boyle her loving family.

In her final moments, she was comforted by her brother Jim, her daughter Donna, her grandson Dylan, and several friends and loved ones in her community.

Boyle was born in Wilmington, Del., where she attended Wilmington High School. During her school years, she was an accomplished track athlete and was actively involved in sports, school activities and clubs.

She spent much of her professional life as a Realtor, beginning with Fox & Lazo in Media, Pa., and later at Hammock Dunes in Palm Coast, Fla. It was there that she met her husband, Raymond.

Together, they made their home in Ormond Beach, Fla., before eventually settling in the Seagrass Plan-

tation community in Delaware — a place where Boyle would leave a lasting mark.

With her warmth, generosity and what many fondly described as her “gift of the gab,” she quickly became a beloved presence. She had a rare ability to make everyone feel welcome, remembered and valued, brightening countless lives in the community she so proudly called home.

Always ready for the next adventure, Boyle was up for anything with her friends and family. Known for her kindness, spirited conversations and larger-than-life energy, she formed meaningful connections wherever she went. She gave freely of her time, laughter and love, leaving an indelible impression on neighbors, friends and family alike.

Her legacy lives on through the many lives she touched, the family she loved fiercely, and the community that was forever better for having known her.

Boyle was preceded in death by her husband, Raymond Boyle; her son, Francis “Frankie” Butler; and her parents, Louise and William

Ruth. She is survived by her daughters, Donna Butler and Arlene Butler; her grandson, Dylan Butler; her brother, James Ruth; and her devoted four-legged companions, her two Yorkies, Sparky and Willie, who were never far from her side.

A visitation will be held on March 31, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. at Melson’s Funeral Home, 38040 Muddy Neck Road, Ocean View, Del., followed by a memorial service at 11:30 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Boyle’s memory to the Brandywine Valley SPCA.

Mark Shannon Ritter, 57 It is with heavy hearts that his family announced the passing of Mark Shannon Ritter, 57, who died peacefully on Ritter March 14, 2026, surrounded by his loving family.

Born June 20, 1968, in Lewes, Del., he lived a life defined by hard work, passion and devotion to those he

loved.

A skilled general mechanic, Ritter was known for his ingenuity and dedication to his craft. He was an avid NASCAR fan and a proud supporter of the Pittsburgh Steelers, finding joy in racing and football, especially when shared with family and friends. His greatest pride was his family. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

Ritter is survived by his partner, Susan D. Simpson; his children, Anne M. Barton (and David) and Morgan R. Ritter (and Ashlee); and his beloved grandchildren, Johanna, Carter and Lorelai. He is also survived by his sisters, Donna, Darlene, Amy and Carla.

In a final act of generosity, Ritter chose to be an organ donor through the Gift of Life organization, leaving a lasting legacy of compassion.

A private celebration of Ritter’s life will be held. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Gift of Life organization.

Town council recognizes Chief Foley’s 20 years and his role in rebuilding police department

By Susan Canfora Staff Reporter Laughing at a ramshackle pair of ice skates he received as a gag gift from the Bethany Beach Town Council, Police Chief Patrick Foley — who plays ice hockey — joked, “Now I have a reason for falling.”

The skates were among gifts and accolades — some comical, most touchingly sincere — presented at the March 20 meeting of the council, during which Foley was honored for his 20-year anniversary with the police department, and especially for taking over and reestablishing the dignity and morale of the department after former police chief Michael Redmon and deputy chief Darin Cathell were fired for misappropriating funds.

In full uniform and sitting in the front row of the council chamber with his wife and two sons, Foley stood, hugged one boy, shook hands with the other, then kissed his wife as the audience broke into applause, while Town Manager Cliff Graviet walked to him and presented him with a plaque.

Foley put his arm around Graviet’s shoulders as the two posed for photographs.

“Thank you for standing up and filling a void and being the person you are.

It has been my pleasure to make you the chief and see what you’ve done with the department already. Great job. Congratulations,” said Graviet, a former Delaware State Police trooper himself.

Graviet joked that, before Foley was appointed chief, the two didn’t interact often. He said he recalled going home during preliminary interviews for the chief role and telling his wife he had had an unusual experience.

“I almost felt as if I wasn’t interviewing you,” Graviet said. “I felt as if I had been granted an audience. Whenever we

Bethany Beach Police Chief Patrick Foley sits at his desk. met, when I would call you and you came upstairs to my office, 10 or 15 minutes later, it was like you granted me an audience. It’s not that you were condescending. It was almost fatherly. I wasn’t able to understand that until I saw the photograph that you have over the mantel at your house,” Graviet said, as an image of Foley dressed as the pope flashed on a screen in the front of the room, bringing laughter from the audience.

Continuing to joke with Foley, Graviet said town police will start wearing a different style of uniform and that

Foley asked if he could add an ascot.

Graviet said he agreed, because he assumed Foley knew ascots are worn in some branches of the military and that Foley knew how to wear one. Then there was another photograph of Foley in s yellow ascot tied inside the collar of his shirt looking like an oversized winter scarf, as Graviet said those who see him wearing it shouldn’t worry.

“It’s not a neck brace. He’s OK,” Graviet said.

“That was great, and he took it well,” Mayor Ron Calef said, laughing.

“Twenty years in service. That is really incredible, but there is really more,” Calef said, because Foley was a seasonal officer before being hired full-time and had also worked in law enforcement when he was in college in Massachusetts. He was hired as a full-time officer in Bethany Beach in 2006 and worked his way up the ranks.

“What a career,” Calef said, adding that Foley has always been involved in public efforts, including in bicycle and pedestrian safety, has numerous certifications, teaches at police academies and has worked to see that the police department achieved Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) certification.

“That is something to be proud of,” Calef said.

“He is an extremely involved individual. And he plays competitive hockey on the side,” Calef added.

Earlier, Calef had announced that Foley’s wife, Megan, had been named the 2026-2027 Teacher of the Year at Millsboro Elementary School.

Councilman Mickey Hinman brought those attending to their feet, for a standing ovation, when he recalled, not long after being elected to the council, being summoned to a meeting “on one of the darkest days,” referring to learning about Redmon’s and Cathell’s crimes and remembering it felt like “a gut-punch.”

“Like in life, sometimes out of darkness comes a really bright light. Chief Foley and Deputy Chief [ Justin] Norman have been a fantastic position change for us. We’re in such a better place with their leadership. Chief, you, Assistant Chief Norman, and all the men and women of the police department are awesome and your leadership is really appreciated,” Hinman said.

Grow Wild, Grow Native event set for March 28 Gardeners, nature lovers and anyone inspired to make a positive environmental impact are being invited to a special educational event celebrating the power of native plants and pollinator-friendly landscapes.

On Saturday, March 28, the Inland Bays Garden Center will host a collaborative morning focused on native gardening, meadow restoration and habitat creation. The featured speaker, Helen Raleigh of Story Hill Farm, will share the story of her work transforming open

fields into native meadows and restoring habitat for pollinators and wildlife.

Guests will also have the opportunity to connect with local organizations dedicated to creating healthier ecosystems through native landscaping, education and community engagement.

“This special gathering offers a meaningful opportunity to learn how small changes in home landscapes can create lasting benefits for pollinators, wildlife and the environment — because when we grow native, we help na-

ture thrive,” organizers said.

Local partners in the event include: • Inland Bays Garden Center — A women-owned nursery offering the region’s largest retail selection of native plants, helping gardeners transform their landscapes into vibrant, sustainable habitats.

• Wild Ones Delmarva — A newly established chapter of the national Wild Ones organization, promoting environmentally sound landscaping through education, advocacy and community ac-

tion.

The event will begin at 10 a.m., with a welcome from organizers, followed by Raleigh’s presentation, a self-guided tour of the garden center and then an optional lunch opportunity at Ocean View Brewing Company, on their own.

After the event, guests are being encouraged to continue their day of discovery with visits to Story Hill Farm & Store and the Delaware Botanic Gardens. For additional details or to RSVP, visit delmarva.wildones.org/events.

RAL to host bus trip to Baltimore Museum of Art The Rehoboth Art League (RAL) has announced a day trip to Baltimore to visit the Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) on Wednesday, April 1. The group will have the chance to view the exhibit “Amy Sherald: American Sublime” ahead of its closing on April 5.

Advance tickets are required for the trip and cost $75 per person. They can be purchased at RehobothArtLeague.org. Ticket holders will ride a Jolly Trolley coach bus to the museum, departing at 8 a.m. from the Rehoboth Beach Fresh Market parking lot, returning to Rehoboth around 6 p.m.

BMA’s “Amy Sherald: American Sublime” showcases 38 paintings created from 2007 to the present, telling the story of Sherald’s vision and practice from her early, rarely seen works to her iconic, larger-than-life portraits of Black Americans, including the National Portrait Gallery’s official portrait of former First Lady Michelle Obama.

In addition to this special exhibition, on view in the galleries are modern art masterpieces from the internationally renowned Cone Collection, more than 1,000 artworks from Native North America, works from more than 200 African states and societies, and a collection of 15th- through 19th-century European art, including Medieval and Renaissance works. Weather permitting, the nearly 3-acre Sculpture Gardens will also be open.

Tickets for the bus trip include timed entry to “Amy Sherald: American

The Indian River girls’ softball team got off to a good start against Delmarva Christian, winning 14-4, behind a strong pitching performance from Kailey Phillips.

Phillips leads IR girls’ softball past Delmarva Christian, 14-4

By Mike Stern Staff Reporter Freshman righthander Kailey Phillips made her first varsity start one to remember as she starred on the pitcher’s mound and at the plate.

Phillips struck out seven en route to a complete-game opening-day

non-conference victory, 14-4 over visiting Delmarva Christian on Tuesday, March 24.

Phillips (1-0) hurled scoreless softball through four innings before surrendering four runs in the visitors’ fifth frame. Kailey also contributed offensively, with a pair of safeties that keyed a 17-hit IR attack.

Fellow freshman Hayden Andrews drilled a home run, went 3-for-3 at the plate and drove in a pair of markers.

Seniors Addy Clark and Brionna Clark, junior Parker O’Shields and sophomore Keirra Santarelli each contributed two hits, and juniors Jaelyn McCray and Maggie Bare each

smacked a safety. McCray and Santarelli each drove in two runs, while Bare, Addy Clark and O’Shields each chased home one run.

The Indians (1-0) had put the game out of reach in the second inning with an 11-run explosion that increased their lead to 13-0.

Sports at the Beach, BPG Sports partner in management agreement

By Jason Feather Staff Reporter It was the brightest shining diamond on the travel-baseball landscape when it first opened more than 20 years ago. It became a summer destination for teams all across the country, and even some internationally. However, over the years, the Sports at the Beach complex — located at 22518 Lewes Georgetown Highway in Georgetown — has become less than what it once was, with many people citing the rundown look of the fields and facilities.

Enter Buccini Pollin Group (BPG Sports) a sports management firm based in Wilmington that recently announced a partnership with Softball World LLC — the owner of Sports at the Beach — to manage and operate the once-premier baseball tournament destination for travel baseball teams. It is a 15-year management agreement for the facility, with the option to potentially purchase it.

“We’re thrilled to bring Sports at the Beach (SATB), a national youth baseball destination, into the BPG Sports family,” said Rob Buccini, founder of the Buccini Pollin Group, in announcing the deal.

“SATB brings thousands of players, coaches, families and visitors to Sussex County, and we look forward to improving the tournament experience with enhanced operational systems, logistics and guest services.”

SATB is still considered a stateof-the-art facility, featuring 16 natural grass baseball fields with the capacity to host up to 100 teams and 10,000 visitors, the announcement of the partnership noted. The complex was designed to be a family- and fan-friendly complex where games were all located in one spot. The facility features three concession stands, several picnic areas with pavilions, a welcome center and pro shop to purchase baseball- and tournament-specific items, as well as playgrounds, eight basketball courts, catch-and-release fishing ponds and a paved walking path around the complex. Each field is outfitted with the HiCast live-streaming camera system designed to allow family and fans who are not able to attend in person the ability to watch the games.

BPG Sports adding SATB to its portfolio expands its reach into Southern Delaware for the first time.

The group also manages Chase Fieldhouse — a 161,000-square-foot facility in Wilmington that’s home to the NBA G-League Delaware Blue Coats; Kirkwood Sports Complex, a 65-acre multi-sport facility near New Castle; and the recently

completed 170,000-squarefoot WSFS Bank Sportsplex in Chester, Pa.; as well as DE Turf in Frederica.

According to the BPG Sports website, “These facilities are state-ofthe-art tournament destinations that attract teams from across the country.

These facilities don’t just provide playing surfaces — they create complete experiences for athletes and spectators while driving significant economic activity through tourism, hospitality and retail spending.

BPG Sports stands as a comprehensive sports-management firm specializing in every aspect of facility and

club development. Our expertise encompasses planning, construction, management and marketing of premier sports venues and athletic organizations.”

Stephen Cavalier is the general manager for BPG Sports and will be spearheading the operation of SATB going forward. He said he is excited to add the complex to the company’s portfolio of facilities.

“The main goal for us to is create meaningful and memorable experiences for the events that are being ran there,” Cavalier said. “Obviously, the facility could use a little facelift.

We’re gonna paint some things, hang some TVs, make sure fencing is tied up and do some powerwashing. We’ll do those quickly, and it’ll look a lot different.

Now, there are large-scale, multi-field, or dedicated tournament complexes — like SATB — in almost every state, with popular destinations in Florida, Arizona and Tennessee, with the closest being the Ripken Complex in Aberdeen, Md. There, they have nine baseball fields that are designed to look like various stadiums from Major League Baseball, such as Citizens Bank Park (Philadelphia Phillies), Nationals Park (Washington Nationals),

Wrigley Field (Chicago Cubs), Citi Field (New York Mets), PNC Park (Pittsburgh Pirates), Old Yankee Stadium (New York Yankees), Memorial Stadium (Old Baltimore Orioles home) and Fenway Park (Boston Red Sox). The only field not affiliated with a MLB stadium is Cal Sr.’s Field, named in honor of Cal Ripken Jr.’s father.

works to open an indoor track facility on the same campus as Chase Fieldhouse, which would be the only dedicated indoor facility for trackand-field athletics in the state.

Currently, Delaware high school athletes have traveled out of state to compete during the indoor track season. This past winter season, the DIAA hosted its indoor track-andfield state championships in Philadelphia at the University of Pennsylvania. The University of Delaware turfed-over its indoor track back in 2013, eliminating the only indoor facility in the state.

Sports is big business In Delaware, sports tourism is a $257.9 million industry bringing in more than a million travelers who attend events, tournaments or other contests, according to the Delaware Tourism Office.

Based on a report in November of 2024 that analyzed sports tourism data, there were 381,200 sports travelers who visited Sussex County in 2023. There was not any data for the region for 2024, but information from major local venues, including SATB, showed a high volume continuing, with more than 172,000 visitors in 2024. SATB alone hosted more than 1,500 teams from outside the state, with 73 percent staying

overnight, totaling more than 35,000 hotel room nights and generating a local economic impact of more than $36 million.

The continued growth of sports tourism is evident, with 2024 data indicating that revenue and visitor numbers for major facilities in the region have remained on the rise since 2021.

Back in action this weekend The first of 21 events between now and the end of summer will see its first pitch thrown this weekend, with the two-day Golden Glove tournament, Saturday and Sunday, March 28-29. There are 29 teams registered across five divisions — 9U, 10U, 11U, 12U and 13U — who will all be hoping to get their seasons off to a successful start.

Teams from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, Maryland and the First State are all being represented this weekend. Pool play takes place on Saturday, with a single-elimination tournament for all the marbles commencing the action on Sunday.

There is no charge to go watch games at Sports at the Beach, and there is ample parking for those venturing over to the ballpark for a game or two. Visitors can stop by the concession stand for some traditional ballpark favorites as well.

Indians open season cruising to win over Lake Forest

By Jason Feather Staff Reporter It’s always good to get the season started with a win, and that is exactly what the Indian River High School girls’ tennis team did on Tuesday, March 24, in a 4-1 decision over visiting Lake Forest.

IR cruised to a sweep of the singles matches and took one of two in the doubles for the victory.

At first singles, Grace Deale made quick work of the Spartans’ Libby Li, 6-2, 6-0. Mia MacIsaac nearly posted an identical score at second doubles with a 6-3, 6-0 win over LF’s Savannah Messick.

Alison Swartz — the lone senior on the IR roster — had the easiest day of them all, with a 6-0, 6-0 whitewash of Brooklyn Eastman at third singles to clinch the team win.

The Indians’ Kendyl Wright and Kae-

lyn Rogers went into the tiebreak set all square with Lake’s Avery Porter and Phoebe Wong, at 6-2, 4-6. The IR duo won the decisive set, getting to 10 points first, at 10-3.

Brenda Pahren and Molly Hevner — a pair of freshmen in their first varsity match for the Indians — won their first set but would come up just short in the end at second doubles, falling to the Spartans’ Kennedy Lewis and Jordyn

Karras, 4-6, 7-5, 1-0 (10-7).

The next match on their schedule was set for Thursday, March 26, (after Coastal Point press time) at Polytech, to be followed by four straight home matches, starting with Milford on Tuesday, March 31.

No information on the boys’ match versus Lake Forest on Tuesday, March 24, was available as of Coastal Point press time this week.

No shortage of confidence for Indians as new season begins

By Jason Feather Staff Reporter The defending Henlopen Athletic Conference South Division champions are gearing up to make run at repeating their success from last year — a season that saw them go 14-6 overall and advance to the second round of the DIAA state playoffs.

Head coach Steve Longo — along with assistants Kevin Cordrey, Ethan Long and Greg Beyer — have a strong mix of returning starters, along with some newcomers who are ready to step into the bright lights of varsity action.

Senior pitcher and shortstop Dylan Grise is one of the top arms in the state, and the big right-hander looks to continue his strong performance from a year ago. Classmate Ricky Wiggins will spend his time between the outfield spots, as well as behind the dish at catcher, while Alex Behornar is another senior expected to contribute heavily on the bump, as well as at first base. Other arms figuring into the pitching mix include Landon Fiels (outfield) and Ty Weber (third base).

Longo is also counting on the likes of Kayden Vaught, Landen Erbe and Cam Callahan as key returnees from last year’s squad.

“I am looking for all these guys to return with confidence and experience, and to make an impact for us this season,” Longo confirmed. “Losing our three captains — Chase Ruley, Jack Cappo and Trey Hill — from last year was a big loss. However, we are confident because of the impact those three made on our younger players who are returning.

We know that they’ll be able to fill those shoes and take over the roles that they left behind.”

Key newcomers for the Indians this season will be a trio of juniors in Dom Marinelli (OF/C), Max Starkey (P/INF) and Joey DiPasquale (P/OF).

“We are very confident going into this season,” assessed Longo. “If all these boys buy into the process of what it takes to win every day on a baseball field, we feel we can com-

pete with anyone in the state.

“Ideally, we want to win the South Division, get a bye in the first round of the playoffs, and win a state championship. But I think that’s every team’s goal. Time will tell,” he

said.

The Indians were set to open the 2026 season against Sussex Academy on Thursday, March 26, (after Coastal Point press time) at The Reservation. They will then hit the

road for three straight — Woodbridge (March 31), Caesar Rodney (April 2) and Salesianum (April 4) — before returning home for backto-back games with Seaford (April 9) and Stephen Decatur (April 10).

Indians looking to rise to the challenges of a new season on the track

By Jason Feather Staff Reporter With both the boys’ and girls’ track teams posting identical 3-3 seasons in dual meets last year, head coach Bob Hahn and his staff will be looking to a crop of promising newcomers to rise to the challenges of a new season.

Hahn will be counting on a strong contingent of returnees to help mold and lead the new talent that is coming onto the team for the 2026 season. Those returnees include: • Senior J.P. Loose — triple, long and high jumps; • Senior Weston Werner — 100and 200-meter runs and long jump; • Senior Aiden Magee — 400and 800-meter runs;

• Sophomore Madelyn Faucett — pole vault, hurdle, triple jump; • Sophomore Peyton Lamberty — pole vault and high jump; • Sophomore Ariana Sturgis — 100- and 200-meter runs and high jump; and • Sophomore Shayne Van Zee — 400- and 800-meter runs.

“On the boys’ side, we have a lot of promising newcomers,” noted Hahn. “It will be interesting to see who rises to the challenge for this 2026 season. Hayley Britt and Alexandria Leon should be solid new additions to our girls’ 2026 team.”

The veteran head coach will be assisted by Keiosha Shelton, Brian Brenner, Robert Bishop, Trayona Nock, Jack Williamson and John Zirckel. The staff will be looking to

those newcomers to replace the likes of Darnell Stokes, Cade Donnelly, Zhen Wu, Donne Henry and Sage Delrico.

“We have a lot of new faces this season for Indian River,” Hahn said.

“We will be looking for our veteran athletes to produce strong individual performances, while our newcomers develop as they adapt to the program.

We would like to see our athletes develop in all areas of track and field, while striving to qualify as many athletes into the state meet as possible.”

The Indians’ first meet of the season was set for Wednesday, March 25, (after Coastal Point press time), against Sussex Academy. They were set to then hit the road for a tri-meet at Laurel against the Bulldogs and Woodbridge Blue Raiders.

Tuesday, March 24.

“After a very slow start, I told the boys at halftime that we need to regroup and play through our mistakes,” said IRHS boys’ lacrosse head coach Dave Spencer, whose offense finally got on track in the second half, outscoring James Bennett, 6-2.

“We needed to be ready and play hard. When we came out, we played

ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS

with a lot of emotion. We made some key plays down the stretch and scored some critical goals.

“Once we entered the fourth quarter, it was a matter of using the clock to our advantage,” added Spencer.

“We were able to do exactly that and came away with the win. This is a very good triumph for our program.

James Bennett has always been a competitive lacrosse team with good players and excellent coaching. We did enough to get the win, and I’m very proud of our guys for that.”

Junior attack Jack Spencer led the victors with three goals and two assists, and junior attack Dominick Siedor added two goals. Sophomore midfielder Parker Moore and freshman attack Michael Moran added single goals for the winners.

Moore added two assists, while senior midfielder Hayden Thomas and freshman midfielder Brett Conaway added one helper apiece.

Senior goalkeeper John Galeas Cruz made six saves to earn his first victory of the season.

Bowen records final out to earn first pro career save against Toronto

By Mike Stern Staff Reporter The pride of Dagsboro and Indian River High School confidently strode in from the bullpen, like a sheriff who would make things right and save the day.

Right-handed pitcher Tyler Bowen (IRHS Class of 2021) made his first professional appearance a memorable one on Saturday, March 21, in a Spring Breakout 2026 game against the highly-touted Toronto prospects at BayCare Ballpark in

Clearwater, Fla. The visitors had cut a 5-1 Phillies’ lead to 5-4 with a ninth-inning rally and were threatening to tie the score with two outs and a runner on second as Bowen fired his warmup pitches.

“I definitely had a lot of adrenaline,” said Bowen after the game.

“But I knew I had a job to do.”

Bowen, a 12th round Phillies’ selection in last summer’s Major League Baseball draft, walked R.J. Schrenk before he used his lively fastball to retire Aaron Parker on a

ground ball to the second baseman to secure the victory and earn his first professional save.

“I was just having fun out there,” he said regarding his emotions after recording the final out.

Bowen could be a ‘solid sleeper’ The Phillies have hinted that they may have a “solid sleeper” (a surprise success) in Bowen, according to an article on the team’s website. Although Bowen has battled spotty command during his first spring

training, the story indicated that he has opened a lot of eyes with his pitching so far.

He has “one of the more electric fastballs I’ve seen all spring,” said Phillies farm director Luke Murton, according to the article. “It’s a backend-of-the-bullpen type of fastball.

His slider is developing, and the command has to continue to improve.”

According to Murton, Bowen’s fastball has been clocked at 95-98 See BOWEN page A44

Bowen Continued from page A43 mph, which is an outstanding velocity. Murton added that Bowen has duplicated the success he achieved during four outings with the Frederick Keys in the MLB draft league last summer, prior to being drafted

by Philadelphia.

Bowen indicated that he would begin his career with the Class A Clearwater Threshers in the Florida State League.

Being named to the Phillies’ Spring Breakout 2026 prospects team After being drafted last summer, the 6-foot-1, 195-pound hurler reported to the Single-A Clearwater (Fla.) Threshers of the Florida State League. His route to the Major Leagues will in all probability take him through Philadelphia’s affiliate teams, which include the Threshers, High-A Lakewood, N.J., Double-A Reading, Pa., and Triple-A Lehigh Valley, Pa. During his first spring training, Bowen was named to the Phillies’ roster for Spring Breakout 2026.

This is the third annual showcasing of baseball’s anticipated stars of tomorrow. Each Major League team assembled their top prospects to play in exhibition games against one another. The event spanned four days, March 19-22, and 16 games, with prospects facing each other in Florida’s Grapefruit and Arizona’s Cactus League ballparks.

The road to the 2025 draft After helping Indian River reach the DIAA playoffs in 2021, Bowen committed to NCAA Division II member Lander University. In 2022,

he appeared in 16 Bearcats’ games, losing his only verdict and throwing 14.1 innings with an earned run average north of 10.00.

His improvement in 2023 was reflected by a 3.93 ERA in 18.1 innings, a 1-1 won-lost mark and two saves in 15 appearances. He fanned 20 hitters while issuing 18 walks.

But in November of 2023, he had an internal brace placed on his right elbow. After missing the 2024 season, Bowen rebounded impressively.

In 2025, he helped lead the Lander University Bearcats to their first Peach Belt Conference tourney since 2014. In 22 appearances, he compiled a 3.67 earned run average over 34.1 innings, striking out 55 hitters, recording four saves and a 3-2 wonlost mark.

Last summer, Bowen pitched in the Major League Baseball Draft League to showcase his skills and also committed to NCAA Division I baseball power University of Oregon, just in case he didn’t get drafted by an MLB club.

Thankful to his family Bowen said he is particularly thankful to his family, which has stood by him through all of the peaks and valleys inherent in a journey toward the Major Leagues.

“My family’s support has been huge from the time I was much younger,” said Bowen in reference to his mother, Dawn, father, Jeff, and sister, Sophia. “I definitely would not be here without them. They have given up so many days taking me to games.”

The Bowen family was in attendance to see him record the memorable save on March 21.

“That was awesome for my parents and sister to be there to see my first appearance,” said Bowen.

Forrey’s double-OT goal propels IR girls’ soccer past Sussex Central

By Mike Stern Staff Reporter Senior midfielder Reece Forrey scored the game-winning goal in the 93rd minute of double-overtime to power the Indian River High School girls’ soccer team past visiting Henlopen Conference rival Sussex Central, 2-1, on Tuesday, March 24.

Forrey connected with seven minutes remaining in the second overtime period, after taking a pass from freshman

forward Esmeraldo Chilel Martin.

The Indians (1-0) had taken a 1-0 lead in the 15th minute, when freshman midfielder Caroline Williamson converted a feed from senior attack Allie Tucker for her first career varsity goal.

The Golden Knights (0-1) tied the score at 1-1 four minutes later, on a goal by sophomore Bailey Chrobak.

Junior goalkeeper Catherine Bunting made two saves to earn the victory for the Indians.

WE ARE OPEN!

The 14th Annual St. Joseph’s Day Festival hosted by the Ocean City Sons & Daughters of Italy Lodge is in the books with another success, as demonstrated by the close to 1,500 patrons who flocked to St. Andrew’s Hall on Saturday, March 21. They once again experienced the fun, flavors and friendship of Italian hospitality at one of Ocean City’s most popular ethnic celebrations.

The festival is the Lodge’s biggest fundraiser for its Mary Castorina Charitable Giving and Memorial Scholarship programs.

For six hours, guests were able to enjoy homestyle cooking prepared by Lodge members, while being entertained with Italian and popular American music. They purchased tickets for chances on more than 70 gift baskets and baskets of cheer, and the 50/50 raffle.

They bid on dozens of silent auction packages, many offering golf packages from the region’s more than a dozen golf courses. Maryland’s professional sports teams, the Baltimore Ravens and Baltimore Orioles, chipped in with silent auction offerings.

Ocean City’s Touch of Italy restaurant donated a 150 pounds of sausage for the ravioli platters and the sausage-and-peppers subs — an increase from 130 pounds in

2025. Lodge members mixed, formed and baked 2,103 meatballs, surpassing the 2025 number of 1,785. They prepared 18 more pounds of ravioli, and to satisfy cravings for a sweet dessert, they stuffed 720 cannoli, up from 640.

Also available were 32 dozen St. Joseph’s cakes — a sweet creamfilled zeppole that is traditionally served in Italy to mark the celebration — up two dozen last year.

Other desserts included Italian cakes and an assortment of Italian cookies baked at home by Lodge members from family recipes. The fried dough was served fresh throughout the day. Wine and beer, soft drinks and water were offered at beverage stations.

The Pick Six Wheel attracted patrons interested in a game of chance. And, if acquiring Italian merchandise was on their minds, they were treated to a retail display of shirts, hats, aprons, and jars and packages of prepared Italian foods and an assortment of pastas as soon as they walked in the door.

The all-volunteer festival takes six months to plan and stage. Now that it is over, Lodge members will turn to deciding how to donate the money that was earned, before beginning to plan the 2027 festival in September.
