The Russell W. Peterson is ashore along the coast in Bethany Beach. The research vessel was abandoned 14 miles off the coast of Rehoboth Beach early Monday, May 12, when the U.S. Coast Guard rescued two crew members. One of the men, who was in the galley, died. During the storm, it’s surmised that the liftboat had its three legs, or spuds, anchored to the sand, until one broke. “That was what came over the mayday call from the captain,” McLaughlin said. The leg at the rear of the boat was the one with the apparent problem. In order to make the trip from the Gulf Coast up the intracoastal waterway and get under bridges, the owners cut the legs from 105 feet to 70 feet. McLaughlin would not comment whether shortening the legs contributed to the apparent failure of one.
Rehoboth planners OK proposed Boardwalk partitioning

. SunView Motel owners propose a second-floor restaurant for their property on the Boardwalk at Wilmington Avenue in Rehoboth Beach. The former motel, located in a commercial district, contains first-floor retail stores, which will remain. The second floor has been gutted to make way for a restaurant. Next to the hotel is a vacant parking lot, and owners requested to partition the entire property into two separate lots. Both proposed lots – a 6,500-square-foot lot, and a 5,000-square-foot lot – meet the city’s minimum lot requirements. The Rehoboth Beach Planning Commission unanimously approved the partition after a Monday, May 12 public hearing.

CORRECTIONS:
RE/MAX COAST & COUNTRY – A headline on page 44 of the May 2 issue incorrectly stated Harry Wooding’s new position at RE/MAX Coast & Country in Milton. Kathy Engel remains the owner of the company; Wooding is the new broker of record. We regret the error.

TRANSFER TAX – An incorrect date was included in an article about the transfer tax in the May 13 issue. Local and state leaders met Tuesday, May 6, in Dover, to rally against a possible transfer tax redistribution.

COMMUNITY ORGANICS – The incorrect website was included in Denise Clemons’ column in the May 9 issue. The Community Organics website is www.communityorganics.org.
