Proposal for townhouses on Possum Park Road draws criticism from neighbors
A proposal to build a townhouse community on Possum Park Road is drawing strong backlash from nearby residents. Neighbors argue the project will exacerbate traffic issues in the area and negatively affect property values in The Hunt at Louviers, where houses sell for upward of $750,000, and nearby Chanterelle, where some houses top $1 million. "Progress shouldn't come at the expense of the communities that helped build Newark and Delaware," said Lawrence Garrison, who lives in the Hunt at Louviers. "Responsible growth means building where it makes sense and not simply wherever more units can fit. Our hope is that our elected representatives would protect the safety and the stability and the quality of life that's established in the neighborhoods, and not ask those neighborhoods to absorb the consequences of unnecessary development." On Oct. 20, the planning commission voted against recommending approval of the rezoning needed for the project. City council will consider the rezoning request in the coming weeks. The project is proposed for a vacant 3.3-acre lot at 275 Possum Park Road. The property is next to the Encore at Parkside senior living facility – formerly known as Millcroft – and backs up to The Hunt at Louviers

The doctor is in: Newark architect lends a listening ear at farmers market
It’s a warm Sunday morning at the Newark Natural Foods farmers market, and nestled between a produce stall and a bakery stand in the parking lot of Newark Shopping Center, Willard Hurd is talking a young man through his girlfriend troubles. The sign above him reads “ARCHITECTURAL HELP, 25¢,” but it turns out people don’t always fully read the sign. Surprisingly, the college-aged man unloading his troubles isn’t an unusual case for Hurd. Since he set up his booth nearly 17 years ago, Hurd has spent most of his Sundays answering questions about solar panels and home additions, but Hurd said every once in a while someone, seeing open seats and a smiling face behind them, will come to him with more personal problems. Playing psychiatrist has just become an occasional part of the job. “I’ve had a dozen or so people who just needed someone to talk to, and I was there, so they sit down,” Hurd said. “I’ve got nothing else going on, not a line of people, so let’s do this.” Hurd, 59, an architect and chair of the Newark Planning Commission, said he started his booth at the farmer’s market in 2009. He had just been

Noẽma will bring Mediterranean cuisine to Newark
A new restaurant aims to bring a taste of the Mediterranean to Newark. Noẽma is scheduled to open later this month on Creek View Road, behind Timothy's of Newark and near the new Chapel Street Players theater. The name is inspired by the Greek word for “meaning." "For us, the meaning of life is to connect people around the table," said Ilias Stamatiadis, who owns the restaurant with his wife, daughter and son-in-law. "The concept is a Mediterranean restaurant, but really what we are after is connecting people. We want to be more social. We need to be more social." Born in Greece and raised in Sweden, Stamatiadis came to the United States 35 years ago. For much of his career, he helped run the chain of Pat's Pizzeria restaurants, which were founded by his wife's father. Six years ago, he and his family opened The Naked Olive, a Mediterranean restaurant in Kennett Square, Pa. As The Naked Olive gained popularity, Stamatiadis, who lives in Newark, decided to open a similar restaurant here. "Newark doesn't have a restaurant like that, so we thought we'd give it a try," he said. Noẽma will have a similar concept, with some different menu

SPORTS BUZZ: Newark Charter's Timmie Claessens taking it one mile at a time
Timmie Claessens’ long-distance running season last year ended on a high note when he won the 3200 race with an 18-second personal best time of 9:19.73 at the Meet of Champions. “It gave me a little boost and gave me confidence to what I could do and motivated me to work even harder in the summer,” said Claessens, a student at Newark Charter School. “And coming off a good summer of training always feels good.” Claessens’ senior cross-country season got off to a great start when he won the team’s first 5k meet at the White Clay Creek Classic on Sept. 11. He followed that up a week later with a second-place finish at the Spartan Moonlight Classic. In October, Claessens’ performances started to dip. He placed third at the Manhattan Cross-Country Invitational and fifth at the Joe O’Neill Invitational. “At that point. I wasn’t feeling too great,” Claessens reflected. “I was sick for a month, and wasn’t feeling good heading into the Joe O’Neill meet.” After that race, Claessens had 12 days before he would run in the Diamond State Conference Championship. “I looked at that time as a reset,” Claessens explained. “I knew we’d be back at White
