I had a great time visiting the Sussex County Science Fair today at Delaware Tech in Georgetown. The level of creativity, effort, and knowledge on display was truly impressive. Students did an outstanding job not only designing their projects, but also confidently explaining their research and findings.
It was also a full-circle moment during the visit. Mr. Snyder shared a 1992 newspaper clipping from a science experiment his class conducted and the photo happened to include a young me, as I was a student in Mr. Snyder’s class at the time!
Seeing that photo was a great reminder that the curiosity and hands-on learning happening in classrooms today can spark ideas that last a lifetime. Great job to all of the students who participated in this year’s science fair!

Following this week’s unusual winter storm, I want to recognize the men and women who have been working around the clock to keep our communities safe and restore essential services. Crews from DelDOT, Delmarva Power, the Delaware Electric Co-Op, municipal public works departments and their power providers, and our phone, cable, and internet companies have been out in difficult conditions clearing roads, repairing lines, restoring connectivity, and taking your calls.
While significant progress has been made, some residents are still experiencing outages. Fallen trees continue to block portions of roadways, and in some neighborhoods and subdivisions travel may be limited to a single passable lane. Please use caution, allow extra travel time, and remain patient as crews continue their work.
This storm has been an exception to what we typically experience in Delaware. For those who have moved here from regions where storms like this are routine, our infrastructure, staffing levels, and equipment are not designed for this level of impact. Even so, the response has been steady, professional, and focused on safety.
Thank you to everyone working long hours to restore normalcy, and to our residents for their patience and cooperation as work continues.

A proposed regulation change would require low voltage wiring (data cables, telephone cables, etc) to be installed by a licensed electrician. Such an unnecessary change would drive up the cost of business and construction.
