Speak Up: Nanticoke Indian Powwow returns

Posted

The hustle and bustle of nearby Coastal Highway between Milton and Lewes has replaced the trees and woody serenity of rural Millsboro. After skipping 2020 due to COVID-19, the Nanticoke Indian Powwow returned this year, for a three-day event at a new location — spacious Hudson Fields.

  • Such a beautiful day! As if on cue, two bald eagles circled the sky right above the powwow grounds! The group paid respects to veterans and had a touching tribute for 9/11. The speaker helped the audience to understand customs and explained the meanings behind many of the ornate tribal outfits. The staff was very kind and went out of their way to be helpful. Good variety of food and vendors. We will definitely be back next year! — Joan Glover-Wire

Kent County Crime Watch group back on duty

Late last month, about 45 people gathered for the first Kent County Crime Watch of Delaware meeting since the pandemic arrived in March 2020. Before COVID-19, 75 or more participants showed up for meetings on the fourth Thursday of every month. As the group resumed gathering, members heard from representatives of Delaware State Police troops 3 and 9, the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control and Kent County Levy Court, which hosted the event.

  • All are welcome to these meetings at Levy Court on the fourth Thursday of every month at 7 p.m. — Christine Dewar

Editor’s note: Kent County Crime Watch says they meet the fourth Thursday of the month, except for November, when there is no meeting, and December, when the meeting is held on the first Monday.
