Governor
Markell Signs "Vulnerabl
Surrounded by bicycle advocates and enthusiasts at Paper Mill Road Park on
August 12, Governor Jack Markell signed into law Senate
Bill 269, which amends Delaware's careless or inattentive
driving law and increases penalties for drivers convicted of inattentive or
careless driving that results in the injury of a "vulnerable user" of the

Letting crops flower and go to seed also
supports beneficial insects!
ILLUSTRATION: ELAYNE SEARS
One of the characteristics of a truly sustainable garden is that it produces at least some of its own seed. This is most often done when gardeners select, harvest and store seeds until the proper time for planting the following year. But some self-seeding crops produce seeds so readily that as long as you give them time to flower and mature, and set seed, you will always have free plants growing in your garden. You can simply let the seeds fall ...continued
Green Drinks at Deep Blue
by Christine K. LaMonica
On Tuesday August
17th Green Drinks will be hosted by Deep Blue Bar and Grill, a
seafood restaurant with a very happening bar, located in the
downtown area of Wilmington at 111, 11th Street across from
Theatre N and one block before the Hotel duPont.
People say that Wilmington closes at 5 o’clock, but over the past
few years Deep Blue has proved them wrong. The fore runner of many
places that have cropped up downtown over the past few years, Deep
Blue is the brain child of Dan Butler AKA The Big Chef Guy who I
affectionately call “Wack-a-Doodle".
Dan has a definite method to his madness and a clear and
unrelenting passion for fine and affordable cuisine. He also has
an uncanny knack for making his establishments feel at once Tres
Chic with the ambience of being at friends home.
Join us this Tuesday from 6 to 8PM. Sample the Deep Blue Happy
Hour Menu which features $5 appetizers and Drink Specials

Recently
I was contacted by Reid Rowlands, Owner of World Class Supplies and member
of the Delaware Chapter of the Delaware Valley Green Building Council in
regard to hosting a joint R,S.V. P. Green Drinks event, We agreed that the
logical place to hold the event was The U. of D. Courtyard Marriott.
After we had
set a tentative date we arranged a meeting with Bill Sullivan the Managing
Director and Claudia Scalia the Sales Representative to discuss the details.
Our choice of venue was based on the Marriottsʼ Green initiatives.
I later had the opportunity to chat with Bill Sullivan about those
initiatives and want to share some of what I learned. Bill told me that he
personally values having as little impact on the environment as possible and
that he took great pride in show casing to the staff and guests the shared
philosophy and beliefs of Marriott and The University of Delaware. The
Hotel, which
