No Comments on DNREC to Hold Rain Barrel Workshop April 9 in Blades

To Be Eligible For a Free Rain Barrel, Participants Must Live in Any of 12 Specified Delaware Watersheds

In conjunction with the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control’s month-long celebration of Earth Day, DNREC’s Division of Watershed Stewardship will host a rain barrel-building workshop on Saturday, April 9, at the Nanticoke River Marina, 26 Market Street, Blades, DE 19973.

Eligibility to participate in the workshop and receive a free rain barrel at the event is dependent on living in any of the following Delaware watersheds:

Appoquinimink Watershed
Broadkill Watershed
Chester Watershed
Choptank Watershed
Chesapeake Bay Watershed/Basin (Anywhere within this basin)
Christina Watershed
Inland Bays Watershed
Little Assawoman Bay Watershed
Nanticoke Watershed
Pocomoke Watershed
St. Jones River Watershed
Wicomico Watershed

For potential participants to identify the watershed they live in, and confirm their eligibility to receive a free rain barrel from DNREC, visit DelawareWatersheds.org and follow the instructions for “Find Your Watershed.” Eligible Delawareans can then proceed to register for the workshop. The first 20 eligible participants to register for and attend the workshop will receive a free 55-gallon rain barrel system to be built during the workshop.

During the workshop, DNREC will provide free kits that convert plastic drums donated by Painted Stave Distilling of Smyrna into rain barrels. Workshop participants will be given an overview of rain barrels including their benefits, proper use, assembly, and maintenance. Among the benefits are rain barrels’ ability to store rainwater from rooftops that would otherwise be lost to runoff and diverted to storm drains and streams, thus helping improve the health of local waterways; and saving homeowners money on water use.

Staff from DNREC’s Nonpoint Source Program will lead the workshop. Participants may arrive at any time between 9 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. for the workshop….

Brooke’s Toy Closet Expands to TidalHealth Nanticoke in Seaford

No Comments on Brooke’s Toy Closet Expands to TidalHealth Nanticoke in Seaford

SEAFORD, Del.– Brooke Mulford was a remarkable little girl. Diagnosed with neuroblastoma, an aggressive form of cancer, in 2009 when she was only 4-years-old, she endured numerous rounds of chemotherapy and radiation, several surgeries, two stem cell transplants, multiple bone marrow biopsies, and blood transfusions.

Brooke was treated at several hospitals that specialize in children’s cancer, and she received care for the many side effects between treatments at TidalHealth Peninsula Regional in Salisbury, Md.

Brooke fought a fierce battle and through it all, her smile never waned and she never gave in to the pain. Unfortunately, Brooke passed away in June of 2017.

Always thinking of others, Brooke had an idea to provide toys to other hospitalized children. In 2014, Brooke’s Toy Closet was established at TidalHealth Peninsula Regional, and it was Brooke who cut the ribbon. Children who visit the Salisbury hospital through pediatrics or the emergency department receive a toy from Brooke’s closet that becomes theirs to take home. Thousands have beneitted from Brooke’s thoughtfulness.

On March 29, TidalHealth and the TidalHealth Foundation took Brooke’s vision and expanded it with the ribbon cutting of Brooke’s Toy Closet at TidalHealth Nanticoke. Now, at the Seaford, Del., hospital, the same opportunities to bring happiness to a child’s stay shine as brightly as Brooke’s eternal spirit.

The TidalHealth Foundation is always accepting donations to Brooke’s Toy Closet for both the Salisbury and Seaford hospitals. They may be reached at 410-543-7140. Toys should be sized appropriately to fit on a cabinet shelf, and if batteries are required, please include them. Great choices include dolls, toy trucks, stuffed animals, card games, puzzles, building blocks, toy cars and sponge balls.

Additionally, on Amazon there is also a Brooke’s “Wish List” of toys that can be purchased and shipped directly to TidalHealth Nanticoke. The link may be accessed at https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/19MLZ880RLRWY?ref_=wl_share.

Bandits Juggernaut Keeps Rolling, Panther City Stays Hot in NLL Week 17

Bandits Juggernaut Keeps Rolling, Panther City Stays Hot in NLL Week 17

Mon Mar 28 2022 | Jack Goods | Pro

Tehoka Nanticoke on the Bandits: “Our entire team is a threat.”

The Buffalo Bandits are a juggernaut. They proved that again in Week 17.

In a weekend series featuring the top two teams in the East Division, Buffalo bested Halifax twice, both times by a score of 16-11. The pair of results pushed the Bandits to 12-1, four games up on Halifax and Toronto for the top spot in the East, and helped them become the first to clinch a playoff spot this season.

Dhane Smith accumulated 16 points over the weekend, pushing him into sole possession of first in the points race, while Josh Byrne had a combined 12 points. On the other side of the floor, Matt Vinc made 54 saves on Saturday and 60 on Sunday while allowing the Thunderbirds to convert on just one of its 12 power play opportunities.

Anything can happen in the playoffs, but the Bandits have clearly established themselves as the class of the National Lacrosse League.

“Our entire team is a threat,” forward Tehoka Nanticoke said. “We love the game of lacrosse, and we love Banditland.”

Buffalo looks nearly unstoppable, but they did require a comeback in the opener. Halifax went up 9-6 just 16 seconds into the third quarter with a Dawson Theede goal, but Buffalo outscored its rivals 10-2 the rest of the way. That stretch included a 7-1 run over 17 minutes of game action.

The Bandits never trailed in the second game, leading by as much as six midway…

June O. ‘Bugs’ Burton, 88

No Comments on June O. ‘Bugs’ Burton, 88

June O. “Bugs” Burton, 88, departed this life peacefully on March 12, 2022, in Wilmington, Del. She was born on Sept. 4, 1933, in Millsboro, Del., daughter to the late Eunice P. Harmon and late Travanian (Buddie) Wright. She had a half-sister, the late Derinda Morris, and a half-brother Travis “Poo” Johnson. She grew up in Millsboro, and believed there was no better place to live and raise a family.

She attended the Nanticoke Indian School, where she completed schooling through the eighth grade. She subsequently left school, like many people of her heritage during that time, to help care for her family. She became a devoted housekeeper, both inside and outside the Harmon household. She quickly learned the truth behind the saying “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,” as she indeed became stronger.

Burton worked for more than 35 years at Atlantic Sands Hotel in Rehoboth Beach, Del., and worked her way from being a housekeeper to the supervisor of the entire Atlantic Sands cleaning staff. Additionally, she had the responsibility of maintaining and cleaning the homes of the Atlantic Sands’ owners — yes, she was that good. She always worked hard and was known for her reliable work ethic.

Even without a formal education, she was a problem solver who excelled at everything, which included taking care of her loved ones. She was a creative homemaker with a unique eye for decorating and unparalleled cooking skills. She accepted Christ into her life and walked with Jesus as an active member of the Indian Mission United Methodist Church and was a lifelong member of the Nanticoke Indian Association. Her Native American name, given to her on June 9, 1990, was Lonesome Wolf.

Burton married Harry “Clayie” Burton, the love of her life, on June 3, 1954, in Salisbury, Md. During that…

Archeological dig has helped double cost of Fischer-Hallman road project in Kitchener

No Comments on Archeological dig has helped double cost of Fischer-Hallman road project in Kitchener

KITCHENER — The extensive archeological finds uncovered during improvements to Fischer-Hallman Road have helped double the cost of the road project.

The project will widen Fischer-Hallman to four lanes from Bleams to Plains roads, add three roundabouts and twin box culverts at Strasburg Creek. The original cost was expected to be between $10 million and $12 million but is now expected to be $22 million to $23 million.

About $6.3 million of that extra cost is for archeological work, after evidence of an Indigenous settlement was first uncovered on the site. Other cost increases include building a temporary road to keep traffic flowing while the dig continued, as well as an escalation in construction costs.

The project began in 2020. This spring will be the third season that a team of archeologists has been meticulously excavating the site, uncovering a treasure trove of artifacts from a substantial Late Woodland Iroquoian village, likely dating from 1350 to 1600.

“It’s very labour-intensive work,” Phil Bauer, director of design and construction at the Region of Waterloo, told regional councillors at a meeting earlier this month.

“It’s all hand-digging one-metre-by-one-metre-square units to recover and catalogue and map all of the artifacts being found.”

So far, archeologists have excavated 1,385 square-metre units and uncovered about 80,000 artifacts, ranging from pottery and stone tools, carbonized seeds of corn and beans, clay pipes, stone beads, bone jewelry and a 4,000-year-old arrowhead.

Archeologists will need to work for at least four more months on the west side of the project, Bauer said. Once they’re done, the provincial Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture will need to clear the site before construction can proceed. That will likely take until at least the end of September or early October, regional officials say.

That means underground servicing and road widening work will spill over into…
