4 THE CURRENT | JUNE 27, 2024 Whether this is your first time or you’re a seasoned vet, we got you. We’ve picked the best Cape Region things to do this week. Most are free—some cost a few bucks. LET’S GO BY SARA UZER State Parks Whether you’re aiming to embark on a fast-paced water excursion or quietly appreciate some nature, there’s a Cape Region state park for you. DELAWARE SEASHORE STATE PARK With six miles of ocean and 20 miles of bay shoreline, this Rehoboth Beach state park has plenty of outdoor fun for the whole family. Enjoy kayaking, fishing, hiking, biking, birding, and more. There are also two campgrounds that cater to a range of camping setups, including tents and large recreational vehicles.  Make sure to check out the Indian River Life-Saving Station for a look at the daily lives of surfmen that guarded the coasts and performed rescues over 100 years ago. CAPE HENLOPEN STATE PARK From boating and clamming to paddle-boarding and windsurfing, there’s truly something for everyone at the historic Cape Henlopen State Park in Lewes. Mobi-Mat equipment is also available, offering handicap access from the boardwalk to the beach. Beyond the ocean and bay, the park features wildflower-filled trails for walking, hiking, and biking—with complimentary bikes available on a first-come, firstserved basis!  Explore the Nature Center and Touch Tank to learn all about the park’s habitats and local creatures. For deeper insights, you can even sign up for dolphin watches and other guided programs.  FENWICK ISLAND STATE PARK Hoping to catch some waves? Fenwick Island State Park is one of the only designated surfing spots in the state. Additional popular options include catching a stunning sunset at the Assawoman Recreation Area, renting a kayak at Coastal Kayak, or joining a park naturalist for a Wild Crab Chase. The ocean side of the park is great for swimming and sunbathing. Plus, anglers with a valid license plate and current decal can drive onto the beach for some surf fishing.  Lifeguards are on duty all summer. There’s also a bathhouse, snack bar, and concession for renting beach chairs and umbrellas. HOLT’S LANDING STATE PARK Located on the south shore of the Indian River Bay in Dagsboro, Delaware’s smallest state park still offers a variety of activities. Open 24 hours a day, the park’s boat ramp serves as one of the only public access points to the Indian River Bay. The bay conditions are also ideal for kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and windsurfing. A pavilion with a fire pit is available for family picnics and other group get-togethers, and the park hosts Family Fun Nights and concerts throughout the summer.  TRAP POND STATE PARK Nestled in the southwestern corner of Delaware, Trap Pond State Park offers a unique experience with its beautiful bald cypress trees. The park features serene water trails for kayaking and canoeing, along with opportunities for fishing, hiking, and bird watching. Visitors can also enjoy camping, with options ranging from tents to cozy cabins. The park's nature center provides insights into the local ecology and the history of the area. Trap Pond State Park

8 THE CURRENT | JUNE 27, 2024 Chef Hari Cameron is a renowned culinary expert, consultant and restaurateur. He has received critical acclaim for his modern farm-to-table approach to cooking and has been recognized for his numerous contributions to the hospitality industry. With a passion for using the highest quality Mid-Atlantic ingredients, Chef Cameron has become a leading voice in today’s culinary landscape. HARI CAMERON + Chef consultant THE CURRENT BITE An Interview with Lucile Priscilla Hood, Long-time Rehoboth Beach Resident Celebrating History & Heritage VIBRANT 91-YEAR-OLD In the heart of Rehoboth Beach, where the ocean flanks newly erected houses and communities interspersed with lingering farmland, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Lucile, a vibrant 91-year-old resident whose life is intertwined with the evolving culture of this beloved seaside town. Our conversation took place with the backdrop of the recent Juneteenth Celebration in West Rehoboth, a significant event that honors freedom, heritage, and community spirit, particularly in the African American community. Born in Milton, Lucile moved to Rehoboth Beach when she was three years old and spent her childhood summers working to earn money for school. HARD-WORKING Lucile’s mother worked for affluent families from Washington, D.C., and other cities who spent summers in Rehoboth Beach. Lucile often lent a hand, accompanying her mother downtown and learning the value of hard work from a young age. By the time she was 13, Lucile was already providing childcare, but the job didn’t pay well. At 14, she worked at a downtown Rehoboth restaurant for a German family. Lucile started washing dishes but quickly realized that cooks earned better pay. She didn't hesitate to ask if she could cook. When asked if she knew how, she responded, "A little, but I can learn whatever you teach me." That summer, she trained and worked as a cook, becoming the best-paid 14-year-old girl in town. TRADITIONAL CORN & TOMATO SUCCOTASH RECIPE This dish is inspired by my conversation with MOM MOM Lucile. It is best when prepared in the summer using fresh ingredients. Ham Bone Stock: 1 ham bone 1000 grams (35.3 oz) water Succotash: 300 grams (10.6 oz) fresh lima beans 150 grams (5.3 oz) onion, finely chopped 150 grams (5.3 oz) fresh okra, sliced 150 grams (5.3 oz) fresh seasonal tomato, chopped 400 grams (14.1 oz) kernels from 3 large ears of summer corn 1/2 green pepper, chopped 5 grams (1 teaspoon) salt 12 grams (1 tablespoon) sugar 0.6 grams (1/4 teaspoon) paprika 30 grams (1 oz) butter 10 grams (0.35 oz) fresh parsley, chopped 10 grams (0.35 oz) fresh basil, chopped 10 grams (0.35 oz) fresh chives, chopped 5 grams (0.18 oz) fresh tarragon, chopped INSTRUCTIONS 1. Make the Ham Bone Stock: Place the ham bone in a large pot and cover with 1000 grams (35.3 oz) of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 1 hour. Remove the ham bone and set aside. Strain the stock and set it aside. 2. Prepare the Vegetables: Chop the tomato. Cut the corn kernels from the cob. Chop the onion and green pepper. 3. Cook the Lima Beans: In a large pot, add the strained ham bone stock and bring it to a simmer. Add the fresh lima beans and cook for about 15 minutes until they are tender. 4. Cook the Pepper and Onion: In a large skillet, melt 15 grams (0.5 oz) of the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped green pepper and onion, and fry until soft. 5. Prepare the Succotash: Add the chopped onion and sliced okra to the pot with the lima beans. Cook for another 5 minutes until the onions are translucent, and the okra is tender. Stir in the chopped tomato and summer corn kernels. Cook for 5-7 minutes until all the vegetables are tender. Add the fried pepper and onion to the pot. 6. Season the Dish: Season the succotash with salt, sugar, and paprika. Adjust the seasoning to taste. 7. Finish the Dish: Add the remaining 15 grams (0.5 oz) of butter to the pot and stir until it melts and incorporates into the succotash. Stir in the fresh parsley, basil, chives, and tarragon. Serve hot, and enjoy! CHANGES AMID CHERISHED TRADITIONS Reflecting on the changes in Rehoboth Beach, Lucile noted the significant growth and development. "From the bridge to the light where you turn into Rehoboth, there used to be black-family homes and farmland. Now, it's all built up," she observed. Despite these changes, Lucile loves her close-knit community and the cherished traditions that have endured. One of Lucile's traditions is cooking Sunday dinner for her family. Despite her age, she remains independent and continues to cook for herself. Her love for cooking is clear, particularly for her succotash. Blending lima beans, fresh tomatoes, corn, and okra, her succotash is a testament to her culinary heritage. "I always use onions, but not garlic. And if I have celery, I'll add that too," she advised. She likes to eat her succotash with pan-fried chicken cooked in a cast iron skillet. JUNETEENTH: CELEBRATION OF SHARED HERITAGE The recent Juneteenth Celebration in West Rehoboth was a testament to this enduring spirit. "It was a wonderful experience," she said. Lucile was particularly proud of her great-grandson Terrence Vann and his artistic contributions to the West Rehoboth Legacy art wall. "Terrence's artwork is a beautiful depiction of our history. It's something that the community can drive by and appreciate daily," she beamed. As we look to the future, Lucile shares her hopes for the Juneteenth celebrations. She envisions a time when more people will join to honor our collective history and progress. "It's a time for reflection and unity. I hope it brings more people together to appreciate our shared heritage," she said.  WORDS OF WISDOM Before we ended our interview, I asked Lucile what wisdom she would like to share with younger generations, particularly her great-great-granddaughters Savannah and Violet. Her advice was simple yet profound. "Love, education, and respect for family are paramount," she advised. Lucile emphasized the importance of staying connected and supportive. "Call your elders, show up, and tell them you love them," she urged. Lucile's reflections on her life in Rehoboth Beach were filled with memories and wisdom. Celebrating Juneteenth reminds us that it is important to honor history and the individuals who have shaped our communities. Lucile's story is a beautiful example of the enduring spirit and unity of Rehoboth Beach, a town that continues to thrive through its strong sense of community and rich heritage.

10 THE CURRENT | JUNE 27, 2024 Zeke has been working in and around beer for the last decade. As a Certified Cicerone® (think Sommelier but for beer), he has covered all things craft from coast to coast, from sunny San Diego to the laid back Lower Slower. Zeke is the owner of Otter Craft Consulting, where he specializes in supporting craft breweries in their branding and marketing efforts. ZEKE OTTEMILLER + Certified Cicerone BREWSWORTHY Is there anything better than beer with a stunning backdrop? A Brew With a View Summer is in full swing ‘round here, and nothing beats having a beer in the sun. The experience is especially enhanced when paired with a scenic vista. This week, we’re covering the best local spots to do just that in a clockwise fashion. PARADISE GRILL We’re starting off in Long Neck on the Indian River Bay. Boasting a breathtaking bayside backdrop, guests arriving by car or by boat are greeted with a sight. Paradise Grill has live music and entertainment on the regular, and with seven full-service bars, you won’t go thirsty. WHEELHOUSE AT FISHERMAN’S WHARF Situated on the Lewes Canal and next to the Lewes Drawbridge we have the Wheelhouse. The only way to get closer to the water is if you jump in. Weekday happy hours feature specials on local draft and buck-a-shuck oysters. GRAIN ON THE ROCKS Sitting on the dock of the Delaware Bay, you have an incredible view of the Breakwater East End and Harbor of Refuge lighthouses. You’ll see the Cape MayLewes Ferry from the patio, and the occasional dolphin coming up to say hello. An extensive can and draft list awaits you, as well as a weekday happy hour from 3-5 pm. OBIE’S BY THE SEA We’re Rehoboth bound for this iconic boardwalk spot. Basically on the beach, Obie’s serves up an impressive menu, something you can always expect from Big Fish Restaurant Group concepts. You’ll see a lot of the staple “beach beers” and night owls are in luck, as they have late night specials daily. ABOVE THE DUNES Bopping down the boardwalk a bit, look up and you’ll see Above The Dunes. Found on the second-story, well above the dunes as their name suggests, you’ll have unforgettable views of the ocean. If that wasn’t sweet enough, they offer happy hour every day with special pricing on food and drink. RUSTY RUDDER Backing right up to the Rehoboth Bay in Dewey Beach, we have the Rudder, and it’s a scene. This lively spot features music and entertainment every night of the week. In addition, it’s got a bayfront deck perfect for polishing off a few cold ones. DOCKSIDE MARINA BAR + GRILL We’re heading south to the Indian River Inlet. Just before you reach the bridge, you’ll come across our next stop. Formerly Hammerheads, Dockside is located inside the Delaware Seashore State Park next to the Indian River Marina. You’ll find frequent live music, a plethora of local cans and draft, plus an epic spot to take in the sunset. BIG CHILL BEACH CLUB Last but certainly not least, we’re heading across the inlet. Situated southside with sweeping scenery is Big Chill Beach Club. Here you’ll find panoramic views of the Atlantic, the inlet, and a beautiful bridge backdrop. The beer list doesn’t disappoint either. Sticking around for sunset? Be sure to have your pints ready, as Beach Club toasts to the coast every evening with some tunes from the Wheeland Brothers and a conch shell… if you know you know. That’s a wrap on Brewsworthy this week. We’ve come full circle… well almost. A quick boat ride from Beach Club will get you back to Paradise Grill and we can start all over.  Nothing beats having a beer in the sun!

12 THE CURRENT | JUNE 27, 2024 SMALL WONDER, BIG BITES BY PAM GEORGE The Same but Different New owners preserve and protect longtime restaurants’ legacy. Not many independent restaurants can boast a decade or more of operation let alone withstand changes in ownership. Yet, several Culinary Coast establishments have demonstrated resilience, partly due to the firm foundation laid by their owners. Perhaps one of the best examples is The Back Porch Café in downtown Rehoboth Beach, which rocked the culinary scene when it opened in 1974. Victor Pisapia and friends Libby York and Ted Fisher started the European-inspired cafe with a then-novel outdoor patio. Keith Fitzgerald became a partner when Libby York pursued a singing career, and Marilyn Spitz joined after Ted, her boyfriend, passed away. In early 2020, Fitzgerald and Spitz sold The Back Porch to employees Dmitry Shubich and Aksana Voranova. Pepper-cured tuna loin, rabbit Bolognese and crisp veal sweetbreads with potato latke remain menu staples. Also in Rehoboth is Shorebreak Lodge, recently purchased by wellknown mixologist Ben Winiarczyk and his wife, Diane. This is the third time the Wilmington Avenue restaurant has changed hands. It was started by the late Rob Stitt, who also founded Eden, and he sold it to Kate Wall in 2017. The Winiarczks have kept the dining room's overall look, but the South Beach-y atmosphere has been refined. The fun menu categories “Hunt,” “Gather,” and “Fish” remain. Po’ Boys Creole Restaurant on Milton’s outskirts was founded in 2009 by Amy and Lee Stewart, who later sold it to Mike and Melissa Clampitt. Under Chef Mike’s tenure, the strip mall restaurant rose to hidden gem status. Chase Nelson bought Po’ Boys last year, and while much of the menu is the same—try the gumbo—Nelson is the former executive chef at Eden. Specials have included Asian-style boom boom salmon, braised short ribs and tuna tartare. To the south, Sedona in Bethany Beach was the dream of Jonathan Spivak, who also founded Fusion in Rehoboth Beach. In 1993, the marketing professional purchased Dante’s Pizza in Bethany Beach and celebrated by having dinner at Shark’s Cove in Fenwick Island. He told server Marian Parrot that he had no restaurant experience and promptly tried to hire her. She took the job and is now the proprietress of Delmarva’s go-to spot for fine dining. Given she’s been with the restaurant since day one, it’s not surprising that there is continuity. In South Bethany, the venerable Cottage Café opened in June 1993, shortly after founders Tom Neville and Brent Poffenberger graduated from Shepherd University in West Virginia. From the start, the 240-seat restaurant near Sea Colony has specialized in comfort food: turkey dinners, prime rib and fried oysters. Although SoDel Concepts purchased the restaurant in 2022, that’s still the case. And that’s a smart move, for, while new owners often want to put their imprint on the menus and freshen the décor, they understand that the brand has endured for a reason. In short, why mess with a good thing?

14 THE CURRENT | JUNE 27, 2024 THE CURRENT POUR Peggy Raley and Delaware’s First Vineyard Meet Delaware Shore’s Wine Pioneer MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Peggy Raley was a woman on a mission…to bring Delaware its first farm winery. And through her passion for wine and her commitment and persistence to move legislative mountains, she did just that. First, by co-founding Nassau Valley Vineyards in 1987 with her father Bob (who has since passed away) as Delaware’s first vineyard, then, by successfully lobbying for legal changes to allow farm wineries to directly sell the wine they made. Peggy’s stated mission is: Putting Sussex County on the wine map one bottle at a time. And, along with her sister and business partner, Suzette Hopkins, mission accomplished. SERIOUS WINEMAKING Peggy’s interest in wine started in the early 80’s when she worked for the wine publication, Les Amis du Vin, primarily as a photographer, then eventually becoming a wine enthusiast, then a wine professional. I have to admit that I didn’t always take Delaware wine all that seriously. However, my recent visit with Peggy at Nassau Valley Vineyards where I tasted through a good portion of their lineup was a real eye opener for me. First things first, as Peggy herself will tell you, don’t think you will be tasting Napa Valley style wines. But that is not necessarily a bad thing because, as you travel to as many wine regions as I have, the first thing you learn is that every region has its own style based on the “terroir” of the region (wine talk for the impact of climate, soil, topography, etc. on the grapes). In fact, it is a holy grail of wine making to have your wine express the area from BY CUVÉE RAY which the grapes are grown. And hats off to Peggy, her talented winemaker, Mike Reese, and the rest of the team for making beautiful, serious, terroir-driven wines. Every wine I tasted was well made but the standouts for me were the Naked Chardonnay, Ray Kurz, also known as “Cuvée Ray,” holds certifications including Sommelier, Certified Specialist of Wine, and is completing his WSET Diploma. He’s the creator of Vintunes® and previously owned Cuvée Ray Wine Bar and Restaurant. Ray’s passion lies in connecting wine with wine lovers. made without the influence of oak and displaying beautiful tropical and melon flavors, and the “Indian River Red” Vintners Blend, made with the traditional Bordeaux grapes, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. This wine is the real deal!  “Pull the cork and taste the sunshine and raindrops that fell” says Peggy when describing the feeling she gets when opening a bottle of wine. When hearing Peggy talk about wine you can feel her passion which translates into some serious winemaking at Nassau Valley Vineyards. Nassau Valley Vineyards also houses a charming museum displaying some of the history of winemaking, which seems only right given Nassau Valley's own place in wine history.   Peggy Raley checks out a vine when the vineyard started over 30 years ago.

A DEWEY BEACH ICON THE STORY OF Fifer’s Farm Kitchen

JUNE 27, 2024 | THE CURRENT 21 MEET CONNIE: SHE’LL KNOW YOUR NAME & FAV ORDER SOON! SERVING UNIQUE NEEDS AND DIVERSE CLIENTELE Memorial Day Weekend is something of a New Year’s Day for many beach-area shops and restaurants. But few know how to work the seasons quite like the team at Fifer’s Farm Kitchen in Dewey Beach. The diminutive roadside eatery—part farm stand, part deli counter, part breakfast powerhouse—has quietly and steadily evolved into a summer beach staple. Starting life in 2008 as a southern outpost for the fresh fruits and veggies grown at the 105-year-old Fifer Orchards in Camden-Wyoming, it’s evolved to meet the unique needs of Dewey Beach and its diverse set of clientele—from the visiting families to the hungover partiers, the contractors, realtors, servers, and everyone in between. With local produce as its foundation, the Kitchen today serves breakfast and lunch sandwiches, baked goods, coffee, grab-and-go options, and a small-but-strategic selection of convenience items. CONVENIENCE WITH A STRONG FOLLOWING “It's just all about convenience,” says general manager Connie Warren, a 10-year veteran of Fifer’s Farm Kitchen. “It’s a prime location here for so many people that can just walk, ride their bikes, skateboard, however they choose to get here. When we open up for the season, I have so many customers who say, “Oh, thank goodness you're back.”  Much like the farm from whence it came, the growth at Fifer’s Farm Kitchen happened gradually and organically. Fifer Orchards, which sits on 300-plus acres outside Dover in Camden-Wyoming, was founded by Charles Frederick Fifer in 1919. Over the generations, Fifer Orchards became known for more than just the delicious peaches, pears, apples, tomatoes, corn, asparagus, strawberries they grew. The site of countless community engagements—from farmer’s markets to u-pick produce, cooking demos and foodie festivals, weddings, fundraisers, and more—the family-owned farm became a Delaware agricultural icon. “Our family farm has been participating in the Lewes and Rehoboth Beach weekly farmers markets for 20-plus years, so we already had a strong following in the beach area,” says Michael Fennemore, one of the fourth generation of Fifer Orchards owners. “We were also delivering fresh fruits and vegetables to Sussex County schools and restaurants prior to our Dewey store opening. Since we were already making frequent deliveries to eastern Sussex County, it made sense to have a retail outlet there as well.” Fifer delivery trucks run from the Kent County farm to Sussex County almost every day from May through October, making Dewey a perfect landing spot for the freshest products straight from the source. “Initially we were simply trying to replicate our Farm Store offerings,” Fennemore says, referring to the decadesold retail appendage to the Camden-Wyoming farm, where in addition to fresh produce, customers can browse baked goods, jams, ice cream, and more. “We quickly realized that most of our customer base in Dewey Beach was looking for convenience and ready-to-eat items. We pivoted our focus to breakfast and lunch sandwiches with a farm-fresh twist. As we did this, we tried to incorporate our own homegrown fruits and vegetables into the menu to highlight what's in-season and the bounty of the spring and summer harvests.” In other words, that refreshing acai bowl tastes a whole lot more refreshing thanks to ripe strawberries and blueberries that were harvested yesterday 40 miles up the road. Same goes for the tomato, lettuce and sweet corn stacked between whole wheat bread topped with hummus and provolone. Even the peanut butter in the PB&J is ground freshly at the Camden-Wyoming farm. “Nowadays we're a deli that sells produce,” Warren says, “instead of a STORY BY: MATT AMIS

22 THE CURRENT | JUNE 27, 2024 WHEN WE OPEN UP FOR THE SEASON, I HAVE SO MANY CUSTOMERS WHO SAY, 'OH, THANK GOODNESS YOU'RE BACK.'" market that made sandwiches. Because it definitely shifted.” Says Fennemore: “We listen to our customers and their specific needs and wants. This is 100 percent how we've evolved over the years with a focus on continuous improvement.” A NEIGHBORHOOD GATHERING PLACE Early customers filing in at 8 a.m. love their morning coffee, particularly the cold-brew Nitro coffee, which Fifer’s carries on tap, along with a newspaper, breakfast sandwiches made with farmfresh eggs and Liscio’s breads, or famous Fifer apple cider donuts. By lunchtime, the focus shifts to handcrafted sandwiches, salads, drinks and ice cream. By the time Fifer’s approaches its 4 p.m. closing time, folks are shopping for grocery items and grabbing fresh local meats, cheeses, tomatoes, sweet corn, watermelons and more for their evening barbecues, happy hours, or beach picnics. “It's a neighborhood gathering place,” Fennemore says. After 10 years at the helm, Warren knows the daily habits of Dewey Beach denizens (the town’s population balloons from around 300 to 30,000 during the summer months) better than most. She knows many of them by name. She’s served countless bacon-eggcheese bagel sandwiches to the bleary-eyed Senior Week kids— “they tend to travel in packs of around eight,” she says. She regularly boxes dozens of sandwiches for customers’ daytime beach or boat trips. And she’s grown close to the families who visit annually for their family beach trip— “I know that during the second week of July, I'll see the same people that I saw last year at this time,” she says. “I'll be working on a Saturday and see the same person come in three times,” Warren says. A local mortgage broker named Tim orders the same slightly modified sandwich (a Farm Market Veggie, toasted, with sweet pepper relish, Havarti cheese instead of provolone and NO onions) each time he comes in, which is about four times weekly. Warren eventually named the new sandwich creation after him. “When he walks in, I just say, “You look like you need a Tim. He was here yesterday, and I already knew what he was getting. "On a busy summer day, Warren and her team of about two dozen employees make upward of 500 sandwiches daily. They once hit 600 during a Fourth of July weekend.  “We’re probably in there five days a week between my husband and I,” says Shannon Colburn of Rehoboth Beach, who’s frequented Fifer’s Kitchen for a decade. “If you live south of the bridge, that’s just where you go. It’s your neighborhood spot.” FRIENDLY HOSPITALITY WHILE AVOIDING THE TRAFFIC Colburn, who works in the hospitality industry, understands how Warren and her team embody the small-town, customer-focused congeniality that started at Fifer Orchards generations ago. “Connie always says ‘Hi’, and is always so hospitable,” she says. “I’ll see [a staff member] out someplace in the winter, and they’re still just as friendly. It’s not forced at all.” As Colburn points out, the beach towns offer a plethora of fine dining options, localvore foodie destinations, and convenience spots—but no one combines the three quite like Fifer’s. “It’s not like you’re grabbing a bunch of processed foods [from a convenience store],” she says. “It has fresh fruit, healthier options, a veggie sandwich—it’s great. You see people walk out with a sandwich in one hand and a quart of strawberries in the other.” Need further proof ? Consider the house specialty power chicken salad, a flavorful blend made at the Camden-Wyoming farm with walnuts, craisins, fresh apples, and grapes—piled onto whole grain bread with lettuce. It’s by far the shop’s number one selling item. “I say the words ‘chicken salad’ more than any other words in my life,” Warren jokes. “It's crazy. But they're very popular.” While the Fifer’s crew knows it can’t compete with Wawa or Food Lion in terms of selection, they dedicate a handful of shelves to pantry staples, along with a few unique goodies (like the farm’s homemade apple butter). It’s the kind of stuff you might need last minute for a beach house get-together, but can’t suffer Rt. One traffic to drive to the nearest grocery store. Think: milk, bread, condiments, coffee. “Nobody wants to sit in traffic for 30 minutes because they need a jar of cocktail sauce,” Warren says.  Says Fennemore: “Our core clientele are the folks living right here in our own neighborhood. This has led to an amazing relationship with our community and customers. We are space-limited, so we've had to streamline our offerings to the bestselling items only.” WORKING WITH SEASONALITY Like the summer season itself, Fifer’s Farm Kitchen is around for a fleetingly short time, closing its doors in September. Once all of the watermelons, cantaloupes, and peaches have been harvested and sold, the focus then shifts back to Central Delaware for the fall season—along with all the pumpkins, apples, squash, and a major fall festival that takes up team capacity. In that sense, the Dewey Beach kitchen mirrors the shifting seasons at the parent farm. “We try to own that seasonality and work with it, not fight it,” Fennemore says. “Our focus is to take what nature gives us and savor the harvest season as it progresses from spring through fall. That seasonality is part of the fun and excitement. Our Farm Kitchen is always changing and never stays the same.” BUILDING THE Perfect Picnic AT FIFER’S FARM KITCHEN Your Dewey Beach sunset soirée starts in an hour and northbound Route 1 traffic is backed up to the Rusty Rudder. Panic not. Instead, walk over to Fifer’s Farm Kitchen and curate the perfect spread with time to spare. Here are just a few suggestions from general manager, Connie Warren: • FIFER’S KETTLE CHIPS • RED GRAPES • BLUEBERRIES • WATERMELON & CANTALOUPE CUBES • LANCASTER SHARP CHEDDAR CHEESE, WITH CRACKERS & OLIVES • FIFER’S OLD BAY PICKLES • CHICKEN SALAD & VEGGIE PASTA SALAD • NEWSOMS PEANUT SHOP PEANUTS • FIFER’S KETTLE CORN • FIFER’S APPLE CIDER DONUTS

One of the great migrations of summer is that moment during a beach day when the tide rolls up to your blanket and it is time to move to drier sand. Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun as they interact with the Earth during their orbits. The moon exerts about twice the gravitational force as the sun because of its proximity to Earth. Have you ever wondered what makes some high tides higher than others? THE LOW DOWN ON HIGH TIDES SPRING TIDES The Earth, moon, and sun are in near-alignment approximately every 29.5 days. When this happens, the moon is in a Full or New phase and the gravitational pull of the sun is ‘added’ to the pull of the moon, exerting a force on the oceans that causes high tides to be higher and low tides to be lower. Play Delaware has the lowest average land elevation in the entire United States! High tides can cause beach erosion and flood low-lying roads and properties, even in the absence of storms. Did You Know PERIGEAN SPRING TIDES Sometimes, the moon is in its New or Full phase at the same time as its orbit is closest to Earth. This causes the highest predicted tides of the year because the moon is exerting its greatest gravitational pull. Some people will refer to these tides as King Tides. SEA LEVEL RISE The average height of the world’s oceans is increasing. The major driver of sea level rise is global warming, which is causing warm ocean water to expand and polar ice to melt. Locally, we have observed over a foot of sea level rise in the past 100 years and the rate of increase is accelerating. Our daily tides are getting higher, with or without the presence of spring tides or storm effects. COASTAL STORMS Onshore winds and changes in barometric pressure from coastal storms often lead to coastal flooding and erosion. Storm surge results from an abnormal rise in sea level above the predicted astronomical tide. This results in a Storm Tide, which is a combination of storm surge and the astronomical tide.

26 THE CURRENT | JUNE 27, 2024 VENTURE OUT BY NANCY SAKADUSKI FORT MILES BY LANTERN LIGHT You’ve probably been to Cape Henlopen State Park, maybe even visited Fort Miles, the former US Army World War II installation inside the park. But have you been inside an underground gun battery, at night, with only a lantern for a light? Once home to more than 2,000 soldiers and civilians, Fort Miles is now a showcase of coastal defense and daily life during the war. There are many fascinating events and programs there—including lantern tours. The tour starts with a short orientation, then guides participants through the artillery park, past enormous “guns” that required up to seventeen men to operate. The shells for the largest gun (inside Battery 519) weighed 800-1,000 pounds and required a ceiling-mounted track (still there) to transport them inside the building. Next stop is an overlook, with views of the water and the lights of Cape May in the distance. It was here that spotters watched for enemy aircraft and U-boats (submarines). With the help of a large spotlight, observers (including some civilians) identified planes by their silhouettes and reported their positions. Dunes along the coast were ideal for burying gun batteries that hid the enormous weapons. Inside Battery 519, the guides describe what life was like here during the war. They have everyone turn off their lanterns to experience a can’t-see-your-hand-in-front-of-your-face blackout. It is a good reminder of what living with the threat of invasion was like. One wall features the Fort Miles Museum Wall of Honor, which recognizes veterans and civilians who served, and in some cases sacrificed their lives, for their country. Lantern tours ($7) start at 8:30 p.m. on specific nights and are recommended for ages 10+. To learn more about these and other programs, go to destateparks.com/FortMiles.

ROB RECTOR + Protected Species Observer GO GREEN WITH RED WHITE & BLUE: Delaware beaches are packed to the gills with activities over the July 4th holiday. But it is also the midway point of Clean Beaches Week (from July 1 through July 7). With that in mind, here are a few suggestions for not only celebrating the holiday but for also giving local beaches their freedom from litter and harmful remnants of our festivities. OPT FOR ECO-FRIENDLY DECORATIONS: Instead of dropping dollars on traditional plastic decorations that will wind up in the trash tomorrow, consider natural items such as flowers, plants, and biodegradable materials (such as biodegradable balloons).  MAKE YOUR OWN CONFETTI: Traditional confetti is composed of microplastics or mylar, and if it has a metallic shine, there is likely some component of metal within. Instead, consider making your own leaf confetti.  USE REUSABLE TABLEWARE: Ditch disposable plates, cups, and utensils. Instead, dine with reusable options that can be washed and used again for future celebrations. LOCAL & ORGANIC FOOD: Choose locally sourced and organic foods for your July 4th barbecue. You can support area farmers and reduce the environmental impact of transportation and pesticides. MINIMIZE FOOD WASTE: Get a headcount and plan your menu accordingly to avoid overbuying food. Save leftovers for future meals or compost them instead of throwing them away. DIGITAL INVITATIONS: Part with paper invitations and consider sending electronic invites or create a Facebook event.  CARPOOL OR USE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION: For just $2, you can hop aboard one of DART’s beach buses and reduce emissions and fuel costs. CHOOSE SUSTAINABLE FIREWORKS ALTERNATIVES: Even though fireworks are a staple of the holiday, traditional fireworks can contain environmentally harmful chemicals. Consider alternatives such as laser light shows or rechargeable glowsticks. CLEAN UP RESPONSIBLY: When wrapping up a large celebration, be extra mindful of properly disposing all trash and recycling items. Take it a step further and consider organizing a beach or park clean-up as part of your celebration. Tips for an Environmentally Friendly July 4th Celebration

30 THE CURRENT | JUNE 27, 2024 BY LANA MORELLI SOLUTIONS FROM PAGE 25 KATE BANASZAK ASK THE PAGEANT QUEEN TURNED COMEDIAN FORMER MISS DELAWARE, DEWEY’S TOWN CLERK AND STAND-UP COMEDIAN She’s beauty, she’s grace, she’s Miss United States…well almost. But Kate Banaszak was Miss Delaware in 2009. During her experience in the national Miss USA Pageant, while she didn’t take home the title, she did learn something very important about herself—that she was quite funny. Today, she graces us in her political position as Town Clerk of Dewey Beach, and you may even find her onstage performing stand-up comedy in Rehoboth Beach. Hailing from Middletown DE, Kate’s been in politics here at Delaware Beach for 5 years; working from the ground-up, to her current role as Dewey Beach Town Clerk. “I’m not bureaucratic at all,” she says. “Politics is black and white, and I like to use all the crayons in the box.” And she does just that, by wearing many hats in her position at Town Hall. She “creates the flow” by assisting the Town Manager, manages all record keeping, keeps minutes and agendas, creates the Town Newsletters, manages the website and even dabbles in I.T. Kate is not afraid to jump in and help out. “I love everyone I work with, and I couldn’t do this job in many other places. However, here in Dewey, we face different challenges than other areas,” Kate explains, regarding the nuances of working on the political side of a hopping beach town that is a sought-out, busy, vacation destination. In 2009, during her experience as Miss Delaware, Kate went to Vegas to compete in the Miss USA pageant. “It was 15 days where we were isolated for the competition and I honestly felt like I was losing my mind,” she explains. So, she found solace in the “video confessionals,” an early 2000’s trend where the women were encouraged to tape “off the cuff ” and unrehearsed reactions to the competition and experience. “It was during those confessionals that I realized I was making everyone laugh, and I thought, I’m pretty funny.” The confirmation came when former CEO of Miss Universe and Miss USA, Paula Shugart, sought Kate out to tell her how funny her confessionals were. “That sparked something in me. I was surrounded by intelligent and accomplished women, and I was standing out.” Kate continued that quest for laughter, and proves to have beauty, brains and blithe. Today, Kate writes her own comedy and performs it locally here at the Delaware Beaches. “I was always artsy and creative,” she said. “I paint, draw, doodle, and sing.” But, after pageantry she focused on comedy. She most recently held stand-up shows at The Pines American Bistro and The Rehoboth Ale House, where she was 1 of 4 comedians to headline the show. While Kate is professional during the day, she channels her self-proclaimed inner Nikki Glaser at night. “Some of my jokes are a bit inappropriate, and I had to give Mayor Stevens [The Dewey Beach Mayor and her colleague] a disclaimer before he came,” she says with a laugh. Kate is easy going, silly and fun. By day, she plans on continuing to serve her community as Town Clerk, and by night, she hopes to keep them laughing. “Starboard has a Comedy Club show every Tuesday, and there are talks of me going to perform,” she leaked. So, keep your eye out for her name on the Starboard Marquee. (Starboard if you’re reading this, BOOK HER NOW!)

When it comes to the Eastern Shore beach experience, you haven’t done it all until you’ve picked crabs Delmarva style. No, we aren’t talking about king or snow crab legs; we are talking about the full bodied, heavy, steamed blue crabs. There is a slew of etiquette and nuance that comes with picking crabs, and Paul Hajewski, Executive Chef at Starboard Claw in Dewey Beach believes that picking styles are unique to each individual. He says with a laugh, “Everyone thinks that they know the best way to pick crabs!  Some people pick for hours while others will be through in just 45 minutes.” For many children growing up on the shores of Sussex County their first crab pick under the watchful eyes of their parents is somewhat of a rite of passage.  If you’ve never picked a blue crab before it can seem a little intimidating. But at Starboard Claw in Dewey Beach, they want to ease you into the experience so you can become a lifelong picker. They have a video to help newbies learn to pick. And for guests who roll in wanting to learn, they also have “how to pick” placemats as well as servers who can explain the ins and outs of a blue crab feast!  Claw is a place where both serious pickers and their novice loved ones can really come together. While they are certainly not your average crab house, Starboard Claw has a connection to the famous Nick’s Fishhouse--arguably the best crab house in Baltimore. And they have the same quality of amazing blue crabs that Nick’s has, too. Numerous field trips to their sister crab house in Baltimore has helped develop the technique used to steam delicious blue crabs at Starboard Claw. As Chef Paul says, “Any real pickers know that the bigger crabs are not always better, it’s just less picking—I will take weight over size any day!” So, pay a visit to Starboard Claw to get your seafood fix and pick crabs on the beautiful deck overlooking the action in Dewey Beach. For more information visit their website at starboardclaw.com   NOW FOR THE REAL QUESTION: DO YOU DIP IN BUTTER OR VINEGAR?
