REWIND BACK TO AUGUST 19, 2013 SEE EAT DO PLAY | FREE VOL. 01 | THURSDAY, MAY 18, 2023 Dru Tevis The Showstopper THIS WEEK’S COVER OF DRU TEVIS WAS PHOTOGRAPHED BY ASHLEY ELLIOTT. Ashley Elliott is a Southern Delaware photographer. As a Lewes native, she loves showcasing Delaware’s beauty in her work. Welcome to The Current BY CHRIS RAUSCH Some luck of the Irish was bestowed on Irish Eyes Pub and Restaurant in Lewes on Aug. 17, when a helicopter hovered over the gravel parking lot dropping cash. Irish Eyes server Tina Chaippini saw people running toward the helicopter and returning with fistfuls of money. Server Billy Anderson said it was a busy Saturday afternoon, and he noticed customers pointing at the sky. “I’m hearing, ‘Crash, crash.’ What they’re saying is, ‘Cash, cash,’” Anderson said. Del Walsh, son of Angler’s Marina owner James B. Walsh, said Leonard Maull was behind the stunt. Maull, who died about a year ago, owned a home in Lewes and operated Henlopen Bait and Tackle on Savannah Road. Maull’s trustee, Rehoboth Beach certified public accountant Bill Berry, said Maull left the request in his trust. According to Berry, Maull ordered $10,000 in equal denominations of $5, $10, $20 and $50 bills be dropped from an airplane flying over the marina one year after his death on a Saturday during the summer. Food-runner Mark Tappan said, “I was eating chicken wings and watching money fall from the clouds.” —Kara Nuzback To celebrate the Cape Gazette’s 30th anniversary this year, we are publishing some of our favorite stories from the past. Have these stories aged well? You be the judge. MAPS BY JESSIE HUSBAND (page 13-17) Jessie Husband has been drawing maps for a few years. Her process starts with researching an area’s history and gathering input from locals on what makes an area so special. The illustrations around the map grid focus on local history, landmarks and parks that define the feeling of a place. This summer, you’ll find Jessie and her family soaking up the sun in Rehoboth Beach. “I love Delaware beaches and have been coming down here since I was a kid.” Check out her art at jessiehusband.com.

8 THE CURRENT | MAY 18, 2023 One group leading the effort to restore the oyster population is the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary, a nonprofit organization working to improve the health of the Delaware River and Bay. The partnership has launched several initiatives to restore oyster reefs in the bay and has worked with local fishermen to promote sustainable harvesting practices. Researchers at the University of Delaware have developed a method for growing oysters that is more efficient and sustainable than traditional methods. The new technique involves suspending the oysters in cages placed in the water, rather than allowing them to grow on the bottom of the bay. This reduces the risk of disease and predation and makes harvesting easier. Local fishermen and oyster farmers play a crucial role in the restoration of the oyster population by adopting new harvesting practices that are more sustainable. Some fishermen are also growing their own oysters in cages, which allows them to control the quality and size of their crop. You can even purchase these oysters directly from the source, such as the Rehoboth Bay Oyster Company, which has more than 400,000 oysters in local waters. Despite these efforts, the bay is still polluted, and it will take time for the oysters to fully recover. However, there are signs of progress. According to the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary, the oyster population in the bay has increased by 20% in recent years, and oyster reefs have been successfully restored in some areas. The return of the oyster industry to the Delaware waterways is not only good news for the environment but also for the local economy. Oysters are a high-value When contemplating the landscape of southern Delaware, your mind might drift toward the picturesque knee-high corn and surrounding rural farmland. However, it is the area’s natural, unspoiled beaches, Atlantic Ocean and bays that hold a special place in many hearts and stomachs. As a food-obsessed chef, seafood is a particular passion of mine and our proximity to water makes satisfying those cravings an almost inescapable endeavor. Local seafood restaurants are often bustling, as are the seafood markets. I am a fan of The Henlopen City Oyster House, which does an excellent job of serving fresh, well-prepared meals. Recently, I’ve become enamored with my friend Chef Sean Corea’s newly formed Lewes Oyster House. Fresh oysters are not the first locally sourced menu item I immediately associate with Delaware seafood, but an important one nonetheless. Oysters were once a thriving industry in the Delaware waterways, but overfishing, disease and pollution led to their decline in the late 20th century. The Delaware Bay was once one of the most productive oyster habitats on the East Coast, with a history of oyster harvesting dating back to Native American tribes. By the mid-20th century, the oyster population had declined, and in the late 1950s, a parasitic disease known as MSX — not harmful to humans — wiped out much of what was left of the population. In recent years, however, there has been renewed interest in restoring the oyster population in the Delaware Bay. It is slowly making a comeback, thanks to the efforts of scientists, environmentalists and local fishermen. 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 Return of the Oyster Industry THE CURRENT BITE commodity, and the restoration of the industry could create new jobs and economic opportunities. Oysters are a keystone species in the ecosystem, and their presence has a significant positive impact on the waters in which they live. One of the most important benefits of oysters is their ability to act as natural filters that remove pollutants from the water, thus helping to improve water quality and support the health of other marine life. In addition to their filtration capabilities, the complex reef structures oysters create provide a home for crabs, fish and invertebrates and act as a buffer against waves and tides, reducing the impact of storms and protecting shorelines from erosion. As the oyster population continues to recover, it is important that efforts to restore the ecosystem continue. The health of the Delaware Bay and the oyster industry are interconnected, and by working to improve the bay’s health, we can ensure a sustainable and delicious future.

MAY 18, 2023 | THE CURRENT 11 Heidi Lowe grew up in Rehoboth and had her first jewelry business at age 13. She went to school in Maine and New York, and eventually returned to the area in 2006, when she opened her gallery in downtown Rehoboth. Lowe recently relocated her gallery to 119 Front Street in Lewes, where she’ll be hosting an opening party Friday, June 16. Lowe’s gallery is a collaborative space, where works by Lowe and up to 40 other artists are displayed. All the artists are small-studio jewelers from around the world, and Lowe says she’s inspired by the collective spirit and energy the gallery’s offerings bring. The gallery also hosts between three and five exhibitions throughout the year in addition to providing jewelry crafting classes and wedding ring workshops. Here, we take a peek at a typical day for Lowe as she divulges how she taps into her creative energy and also talks about some of her favorite places in Lewes. MORNING “I usually get up between 5:45 and 6:15 a.m. I’ll do some Transcendental Meditation (TM), a little writing and then usually I exercise. I will walk to Cape Henlopen State Park and back when the weather is nice, or I will head to Right Balance Pilates in Rehoboth or The Yoga Studio 24 in Lewes for some low-key exercise. I will sometimes stop at The Station on Kings on my way home for a Matcha Latte and some of their amazing six seed bread. I’ll shower and get myself ready, and then I walk to work, which is so nice. It’s only three or four blocks; I can’t even make myself drive because it would take me longer. Although it was very sad to leave the space in downtown Rehoboth, I am definitely where I’m supposed to be.” AFTERNOON “I usually bring my lunch but if not, I’ll grab something from Olive & Oats or Nectar Café & Juice Bar. I have all my meetings with clients at Olive & Oats; it’s a great spot to have a meeting, and I love their coffee. I try to spend two to three days a week at the studio, but there are always meetings with clients – which I love – and teaching. I often teach workshops at colleges and craft centers around the country. I am also part of the Public Art Committee in Lewes as well as the Developing Artist Collaboration. When I’m done for the day, I walk home and do my second version of TM meditation.” EVENING “My husband and I love to cook at home a lot, but when we go out, we love sitting at the bar at Heirloom to share an appetizer and an entrée. We rarely drink, but when we do, I’ll go for a craft cocktail, like a blueberry gimlet. We take our 15-year-old chocolate lab named Coco on a short walk (because she can’t go very far), and wind down and head to bed between 10 p.m. and 11:30. I love living and working in Lewes; it all feels so right.” Heidi Lowe Owner of Heidi Lowe Jewelry Studio & Gallery MAKING WAVES Heidi Lowe soldering in her studio.

Never been my thing. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I WAS DOING DELAWARE PROUD, DOING MY COMPANY PROUD AND DOING ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY PROUD. Most of you likely recognize the name Dru Tevis; he might even be the reason why you picked up this issue. If you don’t, here is a quick primer. He is the corporate pastry chef for SoDel Concepts, a local restaurant group that includes, among others, both Bluecoast locations, Thompson Island Brewing, Crust & Craft and all the Matt’s Fish Camp locations. Oh, and he also won “Food Network’s Holiday Baking Championship” last year. I sat down with him in the middle of April, where he talked with as much intensity and unbashed enthusiasm about his early professional experience at the beach as he does his current responsibility as SoDel Concept’s corporate pastry chef. Surprisingly, he does very little baking at home. “Any time there’s something special, I do it at work. I hate using a home kitchen for baking. Christmas Day is the only exception to that because the restaurant is closed.” You would think the lack of sweets might put a cloud over some marriages, but Dru says his husband Chase doesn’t miss them. “People always ask Chase, “How are you not 500 pounds?’ He is somewhat picky and selective, so I only bring stuff home that I know he will enjoy.” Before being hired by La Vida Hospitality and eventually moving over to SoDel Concepts, he started as a bartender under Glenda, the head chef at Blue in downtown Rehoboth, where Cilantro is now. It was supposed But there was a lot of work to get to that payoff. The shows are a constant slog, physically and emotionally, both during filming and after the competition wraps. “It’s like taking the most important final exam of your entire life, but you have no idea what is going to be on it, so you can’t study for it. And you’re not just doing it once, you’re doing it day after day after day. And it’s filmed.” Above all, Dru says he tried to remind himself that the competition was a TV show that is meant to be entertaining. “We had a baked Alaska challenge where we had to make it look like a Christmas tree, The judges loved the way it tasted, but told me it looks like a green monster. I was offended at first but Duff Goldman, one of the judges, reminded me that I have to always think, will this look good on TV?” For now, his “Food Network” winnings are locked away safely, the subject of an ongoing discussion between himself and Chase about exactly what deserves the splurge. The top contender is international travel, followed closely by a boat Chase found. The little bit of time Dru isn’t in a kitchen, he’s keeping active to stave off the climbing calorie counts that come with taste testing on the job. Or he’s watching “Survivor.” “It is my mustsee-TV each week. It started when I was in middle school, and I have never missed an episode. Before DVR was a thing, I used to record every episode on VHS. The finale night each season remains appointment TV for me.” Baked Alaska on Holiday Baking Champioship series in 2022 (above). Below from left to right: Dru with husband, Chase on their wedding day in 2018; with dad, Jack Tevis in 1998; with cast members (from left to right), Aaron Davis, Aishia Martinez and Jessica Wang; with Ron Ben-Israel at the French Culinary Institute in 2010. Sweet Success to be a summer job before he went to film school, but he took over managing the front of house and offered to make a dessert special when Glenda told him she hated making desserts. That first brownie special was well received, so Glenda asked him to put together a regular dessert menu, which solidified his philosophical approach to dessert. “It’s my responsibility to close out that experience and make sure the dessert lives up to everything they’ve had. That is what made me fall in love with working in restaurants, specifically. Being the one responsible for that end cap, making people happy. On a given night, I could be touching hundreds of diners with that finisher to the meal. Yes, it was intimidating, but also, it is exciting because I’ve never had the ability to reach that many people on a single night.” I wanted to get Dru’s thoughts on being a Delawarean (or at least, a Maryland-born Delaware professional) on a national stage. He confirmed what we have all known for a long time: not many people know where Delaware is. “Many people operate under the delusion that we’re in New England or Pennsylvania. I did think it was so cool the support I got being in a small town versus if you’re from New York. Nobody cares there. But there was so much enthusiasm in this area because people know me. I wanted to make sure I was doing Delaware proud, doing my company proud and doing all my friends and family [proud]. It added pressure but it made the payoff so much greater.”

20 THE CURRENT | MAY 18, 2023 Play pickleball is a unique paddle sport that blends elements from tennis, badminton and ping-pong. Its popularity skyrocketed during the Covid-19 pandemic, partly because of the game’s social nature, easy-to-learn rules and portability. Pickleball is played on a court with a net, silmilar to tennis, but with a smaller court and a lower net. The game is played with a plastic ball with holes, similar to a wiffle ball, and paddles that are similar to oversized ping-pong paddles. Pickleball can be played as singles or doubles, just like tennis. KITCHEN 1 The server must stand behind the baseline and serve the ball underhand and below the waist diagonally across the court. 2 The serve must land beyond the non-volley zone. 3 In doubles, each team has two serves, except at the start when only one serve is done by the first serving team. 4 After the ball is served, the opposing team must return it before it bounces twice. A serve must bounce before it can be returned. 5 Players are prohibited from hitting volleys in the “kitchen” to avoid standing at the net and smashing every shot. 6 There are no lets. If the ball hits the net and remains in bounds, the play continues. 7 Once the ball is in play, both teams must hit it back and forth over the net until one team fails to return it. 8 Points only can be earned by the serving team. 9 Only ground strokes are allowed in the non-volley zone. 10 You must win the game by a margin of two. Flip a coin to decide which team goes first. KITCHEN What is Pickleball? The objective of the game is to hit the ball over the net and into the opponent’s court without them being able to return it. One unique aspect of pickleball is that there is a non-volley zone, also known as the “kitchen,” located near the net. Players are not allowed to hit the ball while standing inside the kitchen, which adds an additional level of strategy to the game. The first team to reach 11 points wins the game. . Pickleball How to speak Pickleball Objective of Game ACE A serve that is executed so flawlessly that the opponent is unable to return it. DINK A gentle shot that lands in the opponent’s kitchen. Always dink responsibly. FALAFEL A shot that lacks power and falls short after hitting the pickleball. FLAPJACK A shot that must bounce once before it can be hit by the player. KITCHEN Slang term for the non-volley zone. LOB A shot that is hit high over the opponent’s head, allowing the player to move towards the net while the opponent retrieves the ball. PICKLED When a team fails to score any points in an entire game. You’ve been pickled. PICKLER A person who is addicted to playing pickleball and can’t stop talking about it. POACH When playing doubles, a poach is when you cross over into your partner’s side of the court to hit a shot.

They’re sold at every drug store in the state, and they are worth their weight in gold. Onto Snacks. You need car snacks, beach snacks and after meal snacks.

Above all, do what works for your family. If that means a bucket of Thrasher’s French Fries for dinner or a slice of Grotto Pizza, then grab a bunch of napkins and do it. Give yourself some grace and get those kids to the beach; it will absolutely be worth the work. When you’re heading to the beach with your kids this summer, you’ll want to remember your 4 S’s: Survival, Safety, Sanity and Snacks. The first S is for Survival. If you want to survive sandy kids toting the beach back to the car, you need to remember one thing: baby powder. Just sprinkle baby powder over sandy skin and watch it adhere to the sand. Grab a dry towel and brush the sand off your kiddos with ease. My diaper bag no longer houses diapers, but is packed with spare underwear/shorts, Pull-Ups, a mini first aid kit and hand sanitizer. Also, NEVER stop packing the wipes; I don’t care if you’re 2, 22 or 102, we can all use the occasional wet wipe. Next is Safety. You need sunscreen, inflatables and swimmies. The ones from last year will not fit again this summer, so purchase new ones before you get to the beach. You’ll also need shade. That means sunglasses, hats and a beach umbrella. This takes us to Sanity. Remember that diaper bag that’s not really a diaper bag anymore? Fill it with toys and coloring books. Don’t ever assume a restaurant can provide crayons or something to occupy the kids. I am absolutely NOT against pulling out a phone in a restaurant to occupy my kids, but I try and save that as a last resort.

There are a couple of components to consider when choosing your loan. First, an FHA loan limit on a one-unit property is $472,030, whereas the conventional loan limit is $726,200. Second, the FHA mortgage insurance might stay on for the entire loan term, whereas it eventually drops off with a conventional loan. Lastly, an FHA loan is only for primary homes, not second or investment homes. And just like a conventional loan, the down payment and closing costs can be gifted by a relative. My partner and I want to buy a home in the area next year. Is an FHA mortgage typically used for lower-income buyers? No, not at all. I used to avoid using an FHA mortgage primarily because the mortgage insurance was ridiculously high. However, this year, the FHA dropped the pricing on mortgage insurance which, in some cases, is better than a conventional loan. What I love about an FHA mortgage is that rates afford the buyer a lower payment AND qualifies them for a larger loan and better home than conventional financing. In addition, an FHA allows a higher debt-to-income ratio which, again, gives the buyer more buying power. And the minimum down payment needed is MORTGAGE BROKER LEWES WATERFRONT DINING & BAR | 213 Angler’s Rd | 302.645.6888 Visit irisheyespub.com for Restaurant Updates MILTON RIVERVIEW DINING & BAR | 105 Union St | 302.684.8889 BOTH LOCATIONS OPEN 11 am DAILY HAPPY HOUR 3 - 7 pm MONDAYSCHEESESTEAK NIGHT $12 TUESDAYSBURGER NIGHT WEDNESDAYSFIESTA NIGHT Discounted Tacos, Nachos & Quesadillas + $5 Margs THURSDAYS$10 WING NIGHT 9PM • KARAOKE W/ DJ JERRY B.

MAY 18, 2023 | THE CURRENT 25 SOLUTIONS FROM PAGE 22 MEET ME AT THE LAKE Carley Fortune Fern Brookbanks has wasted far too much of her adult life thinking about Will Baxter. She spent just 24 hours in her early twenties with the aggravatingly attractive, idealistic artist, a chance encounter that spiraled into a daylong adventure in Toronto. The timing was wrong, but their connection was undeniable: they shared every secret, every dream and made a pact to meet one year later. THE TRUE LOVE EXPERIMENT Christina Lauren The Christina Lauren writing duo gives us a story about a romance novelist and filmmaker to create a swoony love story. Sparks fly when a romance novelist and a documentary filmmaker join forces to craft the perfect Hollywood love story and take both of their careers to the next level—but only if they can keep the chemistry between them from taking the whole thing off script.
