    The Democrats’ Big Win
    Stephanie Hansen is Delaware’s newest State Senator after easily winning last weekend’s special election. While that vote ensures the Democrats retain their majority in the Senate, this week’s First Look explores some other ramifications of the Democrats’ big win.

    First Experience: Women’s History Month
    March is Women’s History Month. To celebrate, the Rehoboth Art League has a series of exhibits showcasing the work of the league’s female members. The exhibit reflects the artists from the time of the art league’s founding back in the 1930’s and up through today. We stopped by for a First Experience style look at these women’s beautiful work.
