Chapter 1: Open

Chapter 2: Filling the gap

This week, we report on a woman whose job forced her to put her life on the line many times. Now that she’s fighting for her life medically, she wants the state to do one simple thing for her, require insurance companies to cover the 20% of her medical bills that Medicare won’t pay for.

Chapter 3: Delaware Makers: Bebe Coker

Meet Bebe Coker, a Delaware resident and community activist for over 50 years who continues to make an impact on the community.

Chapter 4: Catholic Consolidation

A lot of school news recently, June 4th is when taxpayers will vote on the Colonial School District’s operating referendum. Pencader Charter has closed its doors, and it is also the end of the line for Our Lady of Fatima in New Castle. It is another sign of declining classroom enrollment for some area parochial schools.

Chapter 5: First Experience: The Hagley Labs

The Hagley Museum and Library is a treasure trove of documents, books, and antique items. Keeping all those items in good shape, not only for today, but for generations to come is the job of the Hagley Conservation Lab. First Experience provides a peek at what goes into keeping history alive.
