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

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
