Good morning, Dover.

Quentin Durden, a 9-year-old birder from Milton, has spotted 259 bird species so far (a milestone that shows his keen interest in bird-watching) and his progress inspires local nature enthusiasts.

The Kent County Levy Court plus local leaders backed the creation of the Greater Dover Museum in Resolution No. 4171 to boost downtown revitalization.

The new museum will preserve local history and support tourism.

Fifteen DSU students traveled to Costa Rica for a Spanish immersion trip at the Intercultural Language School in Heredia from May 9 to May 18.
