Katey Evans of Bridgeville-based The Frozen Farmer is set to return to ABC’s “Shark Tank” May 14 to update sharks and viewers on achievements made since she struck a deal in March 2020 with investor Lori Greiner for $125,000 for 30 percent of the farm creamery business.
Greiner’s investment relied on Evans’ ability to get The Frozen Farmer into a major national chain, which Evans said was accomplished in the six months between filming of the initial episode and its airing in 2020.
Groups seek funds to support homeless people during summer

Saturday, May 15, is going to be a busy day.
Some 55 people who have been housed at a motel for the cold months are now leaving because funding is ending. It is time to prepare for the summer season in the beach area. House sales are booming, rentals are being booked and businesses are opening as best they can to profit from the influx of visitors.
Members of this group, comprising adults and children, some of whom have special needs, have no good prospects for housing.
Some will live in campgrounds, either in tents or a rented camper. Some will return to the Sussex County woods. A pregnant mother currently has no safe place to stay.

Strong winds ripped through the Cape Region recently, and while no significant damage was reported, the winds did claim at least one victim – a sailboat named Mistress off Old Landing Road that had been a local landmark since the mid-1980s.
“It must have been one hell of a gust,” said owner Mike Collins, during an interview May 4. “The lead keel weighs six-and-a-half tons. The neighbors said they felt it shake the ground when it fell over.”
Collins said the boat was built for a Scottish lord and launched in 1935. He and his wife, Ann Jane, who died in 2010, purchased it in 1980. With stops in Spain, Portugal, the Canary Islands, Venezuela, Trinidad and Grenada, the couple sailed across the Atlantic Ocean. Collins said he and his wife sailed 7,000 miles; the longest single stretch of sailing was across the Atlantic, which was 2,600 miles over 26 days.
