As a baseball history buff, I already knew quite a bit about Judy Johnson’s baseball career and that he had lived in Wilmington and also that he was a baseball scout for many years after his playing days were over. However, what I learned at a special event last Saturday was “the rest of the story.”
The man who killed Hank Huff [in a drunk-driving accident last year] was given one of the highest sentences ever given in Delaware concerning a fatal DUI crash. There is something that everyone needs to know if this has or ever happens to you. Get involved.
Our new mayor, Cliff Newlands, will bring our town together. He will make sure that the Town of Milton is managed properly and that all of its citizens get a fair shake.
This is an opinion piece by Celia Cohen.
Current Sussex Tech senior Wendell Cannon, I’m not afraid to admit, has been one of my favorites throughout his career with the Ravens. By his own admission, he was “evil” just a few years ago. Then, something happened. Honestly, I don’t know what it was, and I’m not even sure Wendell knows for certain either, but a new man emerged from what was once a bit of a wild child.
The 73rd annual Georgetown Fire Co. Oyster Eat is coming up on Feb. 27, and while it might be men-only, there are plenty of other parties throughout the county, and chances are good that you'll be able to find shellfish if you want.
Del Pointe is not your traditional race track and casino. If Del Pointe is not built and Ocean Downs installs slot machines, how many Delawareans and Marylanders who visit Harrington Raceway and Casino will choose to go Ocean Downs to spend their money?
I understand that [Dr. Earl Bradley's Baybees] building most likely cannot be destroyed however much I wish that it would be.Bradley is in prison and will hopefully be there for the rest of his life.Why do the people whose lives he damaged and possibly destroyed have to see his monument to children outside the office on a daily basis?Can no one take down those toys, cars, swings, statues, and signs?It is hard enough knowing the building is there without having these massive eyesores which seem to make you pay attention to it.
Have you heard it? Oprah's speaking out about her outrage with distracted driving. It goes something like, "If you're as outraged as I am with distracted driving, then tweet or go online to take action to do you part to make this world a better place to live."
I thought I knew what snow was all about. But now I’m discovering that Delaware is about as screwed up as they come when it comes to managing the State’s needs especially in the area of snow removal. You know, quite often it takes an emergency to reveal a state’s flaws.
Today I rise to express support for the people whose voices have been silenced by the government of Iran. This is why I will join Senator Casey and others in introducing another resolution denouncing the atmosphere of impunity in Iran for those who employ intimidation, harassment, or violence to restrict basic freedoms of speech, expression, assembly, and the press.
The Polar Bear Plunge may have been postponed, but that just gives potential participants more time to steel themselves for the shock of jumping into a freezing-cold Atlantic Ocean.

This week: more help for Haiti, a continuation of the recent positive steps on the court for local boys' basketball, and some consideration for the revenue that local nonprofits will lose once table gaming is legalized.
The backers of the proposed [Del Pointe] casino always bring up the additional jobs for our county and the much-needed revenue for the state. However, little is said as to what these jobs will pay, as well as what impact the casinos will have on our already overburdened roads. Who will pay for these improvements?
[A] Ugandan bill that would execute gays and jail citizens who do not inform on them was likely inspired by American religionists. Now that [the] bill has been condemned worldwide, these American fundamentalists have slowly distanced themselves from at least the execution of gay Ugandans. But what had they expected as they instigated bias in a nation that already criminalized homosexuality?
On Super Bowl Sunday, will you be rooting for the Saints, the Colts, or the two-week-old beagle in the Animal Planet Puppy Bowl 2010?
Beau Biden ran for attorney general on a campaign promise to go after child predators. File this one under be-careful-what-you-wish-for. Biden has been confronted with the ultimate nightmare of a case — the prosecution of a Sussex County pediatrician accused of preying on his own patients.
