Walk of Honor celebrates veterans at Elkton Middle School
ELKTON — Students and staff at Elkton Middle School lined the hallways Wednesday morning, American flags in hand, and cheered as U.S. military veterans walked past. Jilene Orman, community school advisor, said this was the first year the school on North Street invited veterans to the school for the Walk of Honor. “It was an honor making everyone feel special,” Orman said after the line of veterans representing several generations and branches of service, accompanied by a student from the school — in most cases their child, grandchild or godchild — walked through the halls. Some of the students presented the veterans with handwritten thank you cards from the 6th grade. “It meant a lot to me,” said Cory Fairfield. He made the Walk of Honor accompanied by his son Bryce, 12, and his daughter Lyric, 3. “I wanted to show my son I served this country and that he can serve too,” he said. Fairfield was in the Army from 2011 to 2013, serving in the 160th Special Operation Aviation Regiment. “It was awesome,” said Michael Wolf, who served in the Marine Corps from 2004 to 2008. The corporal’s service included deployment to Iraq, where he worked in vehicle

Rainbow Records is first business to receive approval for live music under new law
Rainbow Records is the first business in Newark to be licensed as a live entertainment venue under a new law that overturned the city's de-facto ban on live music. The special-use permit, which city council approved unanimously on Monday, allows the business to continue holding small concerts inside the store featuring local bands. Owner Melissa Forsythe said she has hosted a handful of shows each year since moving Rainbow to its current location in Pomeroy Station off Main Street in 2019. "We didn't know we weren't supposed to be doing live music events there, so that is my bad," Forsythe told council members. When hosting a show, Rainbow moves its product display cases outside to make room for people to gather inside. The shows, which are capped at 49 people, start at 6 p.m. and end at 9 p.m. to avoid running afoul of nighttime noise restrictions. Rainbow does not serve food and strictly bans alcohol, meaning the shows are open to all ages. "It really can't be overstated how important it is right now to have safe spaces for young people to go so that they are not out causing trouble," Forsythe said. "I always have myself, somebody who's

Biden Hall to open on UD campus in 2029
A new building at the University of Delaware, named for former President Joe Biden, will serve as an interdisciplinary hub for the social sciences. Biden Hall will be located on the South Green, between Morris Library and Robinson Hall. Once it opens in fall 2029, it will be the first new building on The Green since Gore Hall and an expanded DuPont Hall opened in 1998 and 2002, respectively. UD officials are referring to it as “the final planned building on UD’s iconic Green.” “It’s the job of this university to help students make sense of the world around them — to prepare students as it prepared me to get engaged,” Biden said in a prepared statement. “Biden Hall will be a place for students to answer for themselves and for this country: Who are we? What do we stand for? What do we believe? And maybe more importantly: Who are we going to be?” UD officials broke ground on the building during a private ceremony Monday, which was attended by the former president, according to a posting on the university’s marketing website. Members of the media were barred from covering the event. The three-story, 30,000-square-foot Biden Hall will house
