  • Fin whale that died near Cape Henlopen will be autopsied
    a dolphin jumping out of the sand on a beach

    Officials say it will be months before they know why a fin whale died near Lewes.   A 46-foot fin whale, dubbed Willy by locals, has died after being stranded and then beached near Lewes Thursday. The MERR Institute and Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control responded to reports of the endangered fin whale, or razorback, swimming inside of the breakwater near the East End Lighthouse. Officials hoped that the whale would swim away during high tide, but it ended up beaching near Cape Henlopen State Park. The animal likely was injured or sick, officials said Thursday. DNREC says blood samples will be taken and an autopsy will be conducted to determine a cause of death. Heavy equipment will be used to dig a trench to bury its remains. The whale got quite a bit of attention on Thursday. Videos and photos of the visitor were trending on social media locally, with guests aboard Cape Water Tours’ dolphin watching trip and nearby boaters getting a closer look under the watchful eyes of DNREC enforcement. MERR says it could take several weeks before a cause of death is determined.

  • Darius Brown off another committee after incident at press event

    State Sen. Darius Brown, D-Edgemoor State Sen. Darius Brown has been booted from yet another Senate committee following a heated altercation with a state representative. The Wilmington Democrat is alleged to have verbally abused Rep. Melissa Minor-Brown, D-New Castle, during a Nov. 8 press event where lawmakers gathered to witness Gov. John Carney’s signing of multiple criminal justice-related bills. “He was aggressively rude toward me and stood in very close proximity, angrily yelling profanities in my face,” Minor-Brown said in a statement released Wednesday. “This took place in full view of many witnesses. “The entire encounter was extremely unnerving and unsettling, enough so that I felt compelled to speak up. I have spoken to leadership in both chambers about this and received support from everyone, which has been comforting.” The Senate’s actions are a good step toward holding Brown accountable, she said. “It’s important to note that his actions and their consequences don’t only affect him and his colleagues, but they also can negatively impact the communities he’s been elected to serve,” she said. “I feel it is important to speak about this incident to acknowledge the truth — something so many people, especially women of color, struggle in silence with each and every day. “But Sen. Brown also needs to take accountability for his own actions and seek help. He has displayed a disturbing pattern of behavior toward women, and this is just the latest example.” In a statement announcing Brown’s removal from the Senate Capital Improvement (Bond) Committee, Senate President Pro Tempore David Sokola, D-Newark, said that the incident was “deeply concerning to me and those who witnessed it.”  “Verbal abuse is abuse, full stop, and it cannot go unpunished,” Sokola said. “In the Senate, there will be consequences for behavior unbecoming an elected official. As such, I have removed Senator Brown from the Senate Capital Improvement Committee, effective immediately.” Sokola asked Brown to sign up for an anger management course and promised to help connect him with those resources, according to the statement. Brown did not respond to multiple requests for comment Wednesday.  When the General Assembly reconvenes on Jan. 11, 2022, Brown’s seat on the Bond Committee will be filled by Sen. Marie Pinkney, D-New Castle.  Brown, who formerly served as chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, was removed from his post and then from the committee altogether after being arrested on domestic assault charges in May. The charges allege that he punched a woman following a dispute over a social media post at the Taverna Rustic Italian Restaurant in Talleyville.  He then allegedly threw a glass of water at the woman and left the restaurant before police arrived. He turned himself in three days later. He is expected to face trial on Dec. 1 on offensive touching and disorderly conduct charges, both misdemeanors. Despite the allegations, Brown was hired in September to lead the partially-taxpayer-funded Wilmington HOPE Commission, a group that aims to reduce recidivism and violence.  The group said in a press release following his hiring that he emerged as the best candidate after a “rigorous, extensive search.” During a Nov. 1 debate on a resolution asking the Delaware Supreme Court to provide guidance on removing from office indicted-State Auditor Kathy McGuiness, Sen. Dave Lawson, R-Felton, said a double standard exists between the two, noting that Brown has not been asked to resign or take a temporary leave of absence. “We have one person who has recently been indicted and we have another person who is pending court who has already been charged,” Lawson said. “Are both of those cases going to be treated equally when the decision from the court comes back?” He noted that Brown’s charges allege a violent crime, while those against McGuiness do not.  In an interview Wednesday, Lawson called Brown’s removal from the Bond Committee an “empty punishment.” “We legislators cannot sit back and let women be treated like this,” Lawson said. “We will be judged for what we do, and for what we do not do.” He said Brown has shown a propensity toward violence against women and that he should be removed from office. Asked if he would call on Brown to resign, Lawson said that is something Democratic leadership needs to do. “I would back them in that decision, certainly,” he said. “And if I am asked to weigh in on that decision, yes — I think that it is time that he be removed from office.” In the meantime, he said an Ethics Committee investigation into Brown’s alleged actions is warranted, noting that he “would be agreeable to signing on to that.” “The Delaware Democrat Party has done nothing,” Lawson said in a statement Wednesday. “Senate leadership has merely given Senator Brown a couple slaps on the wrist. Removal from committees has, apparently, only emboldened this behavior as he knows nothing serious will occur. It’s time we seriously consider a full Rules and Ethics Committee review of Senator Brown’s behavior and the allegations against him.” In a statement from Senate Republicans sent Wednesday afternoon, the caucus said its members are “deeply concerned by what seems to be a pattern of inappropriate and, according to charges listed in a Delaware State Police report from May of this year, sometimes violent behavior towards women.” “The vast majority of our caucus’s staff are women, and it is our responsibility to ensure that they feel safe within the workplace,” the statement says. “This conduct is unbecoming of a member of the Delaware General Assembly and Senator Brown must be held accountable. We believe serious consideration should be given to a Rules and Ethics Committee review.” The Delaware Republican Party did not respond to requests for comment but Delaware Young Republicans Chairman Nick Miles called for Brown’s immediate removal, saying he is dangerous, particularly toward women. Miles also noted that Attorney General Kathleen Jennings has failed to condemn Brown’s actions. Late Wednesday afternoon Sen. Majority Whip Elizabeth “Tizzy” Lockman, who chairs the the six member Rules & Ethics Committee said […]

  • Delaware GOP unveils ‘Rescue Delaware’ plan at state convention

    Delaware state Republicans on Saturday introduced a plan to “Rescue Delaware” during a state convention that featured a slate of uncontested statewide GOP candidates and rallying cries to stand against “woke-ism,” election-tampering and the “radical left.” The newly-minted “Rescue Delaware” agenda includes policy objectives the party believes are “supported by a majority of Delawareans across all party lines” and will “lead to a better quality of life for everyone living in our state.” Party officials presented the platform before a packed convention hall in Rehoboth Beach where just 24 hours earlier U.S. President Joe Biden delivered remarks on the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ May jobs report. The GOP’s 20-page manifesto acknowledges the uphill battle Republicans face in the overwhelmingly blue state where Democrats outnumber Republicans by nearly two to one.   “The Democrat Party has controlled the governor’s office since the election of Tom Carper in 1992,” the platform reads. “Without exaggeration, Delaware’s state government is firmly in the grip of the Democrat Party. Unfortunately, this one-party rule has done nothing to improve the quality of education, the availability of health care, or the prevention and reduction of crime.” But to get elected, Republicans must do more than say Democratic Party policies are bad, the plan says.  Instead, candidates must unite behind policies that will advance Delaware and create an economy that works for everyone, according to the platform. Among the key areas addressed in the document are: Ensuring a superior education that prepares children to compete in business and the world; Improving healthcare outcomes and lowering healthcare costs; Preserving a livable Delaware; Being a partner to small businesses; Enhancing public safety; Returning jobs and economic competitiveness to Delaware; Guaranteeing secure elections; and  Standing against abortion by defending “life from conception to natural death.” Click here to read the party platform in its entirety. “Our state is not sinking, but we are in turbulent and challenging waters,” said state GOP chairwoman M. Jane Brady, “What we can do is marshal our energies and sail smoothly into the sunshine under Republican leadership.” The convention began on a jovial note. Candidates swarmed the convention hall shaking hands and sharing their visions for a different kind of Delaware.  But the event was not devoid of the election fraud claims that have driven moderate Republicans away from the party in droves. Keynote speaker Joanne Young, managing partner of the Washington, D.C. law firm, Kirstein & Young, took the stage to deliver a near-30 minute speech claiming widespread, coordinated voter fraud in the 2020 election, sufficient to change the overall outcome. Nevertheless, many attendees, including candidates, insisted the Republican Party is a big tent with room for ideological and cultural diversity. For Friday night’s keynote speaker, four-time best-selling author and conservative commentator Nick Adams, there’s plenty of room for differing ideas and values within the Republican Party — but there is a limit. “For me, it’s really not so much a matter of the big tent,” Adams told Delaware LIVE News. “For me, it’s more: Do Republicans believe in American values? Because that’s what I see as the greatest differentiator between us and the Democrats. The Democrats don’t believe in American values. They don’t believe in American exceptionalism. Democrats believe in European values.” Ted Kittila, who in March lost a special election to replace former Rep. Gerald Brady, said Republicans must focus on a positive vision for the future that voters of all parties can get behind.  Kittila is currently running for the 4th Senate District, a seat held by Sen. Laura Sturgeon, D-Hockessin. “We need to be speaking as one voice — as a Republican Party — and that doesn’t mean sharing ideas on every single solitary issue, but just knowing that Republicans need to stand together to take back the state,” Kittila said. “It’s really critical that people come back to the party and realize that we represent a change.” Kim Petters, who is running for the 16th Senate District against incumbent Sen. Colin Bonini, R-Dover, and Kent County Levy Court Commissioner Eric Buckson, R-4th District, said Republicans should be working hard to attract moderate and independent voters, but the conservative agenda is one which has broader appeal than people realize.  “What I have found from speaking to Democrats is that they are not happy with the mandates, they weren’t happy with our kids being out of school,” Petters said. “They saw, this year, how voting Democrat has impacted their families, their children, their businesses and their pockets, and because of that, I think Democrats are starting to realize that the values that they hold actually may be conservative values.” Every statewide-elected Republican candidate is running unopposed in the Sept. 2022 primary election. The following candidates earned the unanimous nomination of the Republican Convention: Lee Murphy, candidate for United States Congress Julianne Murray, candidate for attorney general Greg Coverdale, candidate for state treasurer Janice Lorrah, candidate for auditor of accounts Brady told Delaware LIVE News if there’s one takeaway she hopes people left the convention with, it’s that “the Delaware Republican Party is united behind a positive vision for the future.” “​​If you look at what we have in this ‘Rescue Delaware’ plan, we talk about transparency in government, more civic engagement, we talk about a business climate that is more conducive to people starting their own businesses, we talk about better access and lower costs for healthcare,” Brady said.  “These are all positive things, and today, we sent a message to Delawareans that we are here for them and we want them to succeed,” Brady said. “That’s what we’re fighting for.”

  • Walk-off single in 7th sends DMA to first baseball championship game

      The DIAA baseball semi-finals both ended thrillingly Thursday Night. Appoquinimink held St. Mark’s to advance by a score of 3-0 and final between Caravel Academy and Delaware Military Academy would be even closer. DMA carried a one-run lead into the seventh inning but that’s when Caravel got hot. Ryan Lester, who pitched a great game for the Bucs, singled to tie the game. The Bucs scored their first two runs to take a 2-1 lead. Catcher Tyler August took off his gear to enter in relief for Second Team All-State Starter Kevin Williams. August would get the final out and strand runners on second and third for the Bucs. In the bottom half of the seventh, the Seahawks would answer the call. Junior Mason McCloskey led off the inning for DMA with a liner to center field but Caravel center fielder Anthony Nardo came charging from deep center to try and make a diving play. The ball bounced before he got there and rolled to the wall, allowing McCloskey to get all the way to third with a triple. Then Sophomore Logan Wiley drove Mccloskey home with a sac fly to center to tie the game at 2-2 in seventh. Later in the inning, with two  outs, leadoff hitter and UD commit Jackson Tyer doubled down the left-field line. Tyer advanced to third on a passed ball and set up  sophomore Drew Simpson to win the game for DMA. Simpson lined one into shallow right field, just out of the glove of Caravel’s second baseman Logan Boettcher for the game-winning hit. Ter would touch home and blow a kiss to the Caravel dugout, punching DMA’s ticket to their first-ever state title game. Kevin Williams went 6 ⅔ with 5 Ks and a no-decision as August gets the win on the mound for the Seahawks. Caravel’s Jared Hoffman doubled and tripled in the loss. Logan Boettcher also had two hits for the Bucs. Williams and Tyer doubled for DMA and McCloskey had the big triple. DMA now advances to meet defending State Champion Appoquinimink Saturday at Frawley Stadium with the first pitch set for 7 p.m., weather willing.
