Today's riddle: What has a tail, but no body? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. EXCLUSIVE: Sources inside Lewes City Hall say Lewes Deputy Mayor Khalil Saliba cleared of nearly all allegations (coasttv.com) — Lewes residents will soon see findings from an independent investigation that sources say largely clear Deputy Mayor Khalil Saliba of workplace harassment, bullying, and discrimination allegations made by two top city administrators. The report, expected after a closed council session, reportedly finds no conclusive evidence for most claims, though it flags one possible workplace bullying concern involving Saliba's conduct.
2. Lewes could save more than $100k a year on legal bills, review finds (coasttv.com) — Lewes officials are weighing changes that could trim more than $100,000 a year from the city's outside legal bills by limiting attorney time at meetings and centralizing requests for legal advice. Council members plan an October or November work session to hash out new procedures, including how easily individual council members can access city attorneys for complex land-use and policy questions.
3. Vikings volleyball successfully invades Delmarva Christian (capegazette.com) — Cape Henlopen High's volleyball team, representing the Lewes community, swept Delmarva Christian 3-0 on Sept. 11, overcoming late deficits in the final two sets. Behind seniors like Harper Mamele and Camilla Willis, the Vikings rallied from behind twice to stay unbeaten at 2-0 and show early-season resilience against a determined Royals squad.
4. Lewes Man Arrested on Drug, Gun Charges Following Search Warrant (wmdt.com) — Delaware State Police say a 46-year-old Lewes resident was arrested after a Sept. 10 search of his Pinetown Road home uncovered a handgun, ammunition, crack cocaine, and drug paraphernalia while a child was present. He faces multiple felony gun and drug charges and is being held on a secured bond, highlighting an active narcotics investigation in a Lewes neighborhood.
5. Quiet, Comfortable Weather Continues Tuesday (coasttv.com) — Lewes residents can expect clear, comfortable weather through Tuesday, with lows staying milder along the coast and highs in the 70s plus low rip-current risk at local beaches. Conditions warm into the 80s by Wednesday, with a chance of showers late Thursday into Friday and possibly again over the weekend as humidity gradually increases.
