First for March 16, 2018

Discrimination Debate
How far should Delaware school districts go in making sure they don’t discriminate against transgender children? It’s a tricky balancing act. We’ve made that topic our First Look this week.

Baby Bookworms
It’s been almost a year since A.I. duPont Hospital for Children introduced a new reading program for its most vulnerable patients. Through Baby Bookworms, the fragile infants in the neonatal intensive care unit are not only being nourished physically, their brains are being fed too.

Hip Hop Museum
Hip Hop is part of main stream culture now, but it wasn’t always that way. Nichelle Polston checked in on some University of Delaware students who pay tribute to that type of music with creativity, art and education.

First Experience: Nick Serratore
In our First Experience this week,we head to Milton and the studio of artist Nick Serratore. Using pastels, Nick paints landscapes, interpreting the world around him and making mundane scenes seem anything but.

Cold Case
The creation of cold case units has become popular, especially with the rise of TV shows like “Cold Case.” And as the science behind solving those cases improves, so does the rate of solving cases. The cold case squad in New Castle County has been around since 2014, and it has had some success.

Pipe organ
As we head into the Easter season in a couple of weeks, we thought it was worth revisiting the story of a Wilmington church and its efforts to rebuild a 60-year-old pipe organ. They did it with help from hundreds of people. Step inside the Episcopal Church of Saints Andrew and Matthew, take a listen.
