BIDENS RETURN FOR MORE BEACH TIME!
While not as lengthy as his previous visit, the President returned this past
Friday for his 18th visit to his beach house since entering office.
He arrived via Marine One early Friday evening accompanied by the traditional
two decoys and the state police helicopter. The First Lady had already been
here since Tuesday.

Saturday mass remains the public's best chance to get a glimpse of the President
and his entourage.
Here he was arriving for mass at Saint Edmond Roman Catholic Church. A crowd
gathered across the street and cheered
when he waved as he entered the church for the 5:30 p.m. mass.
To the left of the President are White House staffers Anthony
Bernal and Annie
Tomasini.
The President is typically the last one in and the first one out, so we rarely
see photos of him from inside the church. But here's one!

The President returned to his beach house after mass. This was once again
his only trip into town.
As police were preparing for the President's arrival at the church around
4:40 p.m., several officers including those from Dewey Beach responded around
the corner to the ocean block of Brooklyn Avenue after a domestic disturbance
required additional officers to get it under control. Police took one man
into custody, but no word yet on charges.
On Sunday, the Bidens went for a bike ride in the Cape Henlopen State Park
in the morning and later met EU Ambassador Mark Gitenstein and his wife, Libby,
here on the beach in North Shores after 5 p.m.
They had a lengthy conversation.
The President is scheduled to return via Marine One this morning.

REHOBOTH POLICE SEEK SUSPECT WHO PASSED BOGUS $100
BILL
Rehoboth Beach police are asking for help identifying this guy who paid with
a bogus $100 bill at a boardwalk business on Friday, August 4. This is one

which had a blue
stripe down the middle that was not colorful and not reflective. The bill
was also labeled as "motion picture money."
The suspect was described as a white male, 20-25 years of age, between 5'8"
and 5'10" tall, and weighing around 200-230 pounds.
Anyone who can provide any information as to the identity and/or location

DILEMMA: WHAT TO DO ABOUT MAN ACTING ODDLY ON REHOBOTH
AVE?
Rehoboth Beach police have been struggling with this odd case for the past
weekend. They have received multiple complaints over the past few days from
callers who stated that this man was behaving oddly and accosting people as
they visited various shops mostly along Rehoboth Avenue.
The police spoke with him several times. It does not appear he had broken
any law, although there was one report that he may have threatened somebody.
Regardless, none of the complainants decided to pursue any charges.

STOP WORK ORDER LIFTED FOR EAST LAKE DRIVE LOT
Earlier this month, a "stop work order" had been issued for this
lot under construction at 100 East Lake Drive near Silver Lake in Rehoboth
Beach.
Lynne Coan, city spokeswoman, says the stop work order was issued to this
property because of damage to trees during the construction process. Trees
on the property designated to be saved as well as city trees were topped,
which is in violation of the city's code, she said.
The property owners were required to submit a treatment plan for the trees,
developed by a certified arborist, in order to mitigate the damage, Coan said.
That plan has been submitted, and the stop work order was lifted last Wednesday
morning, August 9.

FISHER RETURNS TO GALLERY 50 WITH "COASTAL REFLECTIONS"
Gary Fisher, an artist who hardly needs an introduction in town, opened
his latest exhibition, "Coastal Reflections," this past Friday at
Gallery 50 in downtown Rehoboth Beach.
This exhibition ranges from textural abstract landscapes to brilliantly colored
still life. His oil paintings are inspired by the beautiful sunrises and sunsets
reflecting the rich colors of the local wetlands and coastal inlets.
"I have been painting for 40 years and this passion I have still drives
me to record on canvas the beauty Mother Nature proves to me on my daily bike
rides, hikes and travels," Fisher says.
"My work has definitely evolved over the years. I really think this
show contains among the most complex and beautiful work I have created,"
he added.
This show runs through August 30. See the Gallery
50 website for info.
