SoDel Film Co. Wraps Short Movie, Executive Producer, Matt Haley, Script and Lead Actor, Paul Webster, Shot totally on location, Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, Ocean City, Maryland

Not only are the Delaware Beaches vacation, shopping, and dining destinations; they are also coming into their own as major contributors to the arts and entertainment.  Southern Delaware is the perfect spot for photographers and for filmmaking.

The other day I was at a stop light and I pulled out my cell phone to text.  My husband said “You know, Matt is producing a film about accidents and texting”.  Put it away immediately.

Did not have to wait to long to find out that Matt Haley’s SoDel Film Co., just finished wrapping up a short movie, tentatively, at the moment, called “Skittles”.

SoDel Film Co. is a production company launched by restaurant owner, Matt Haley.  This latest short film is due to be released this fall.

“Skittles” was shot entirely at Southern Delaware’s locations and landmarks in 6 days:  The Lewes Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Rehoboth Toy & Kite Company, The Sea Air Village Mobile Home Park, The Rehoboth Beach Bandstand, and the Jail at the Ocean City Police Dept. in Ocean City, Maryland.

The film tells the fictional story of a man who has been jailed for killing a child while texting and driving.  “The theme is something that’s hitting home every day, everywhere”, states Executive Producer, Matt Haley.  “It is a community minded issue that we hope will raise awareness…”We want to make films that are based in reality and bring about bigger issues-locally and globally.”

With small acting roles on hit shows like “Curb Your Enthusiasm”, “Scrubs”, “NCIS”, and “24”, Lead Actor, Paul Webster, a 3-year resident of Rehoboth Beach, wrote the script of the short film.  He describes the choice of location as “a beautiful area”.  “There’s such a mix of farmland and a full spectrum of income and houses”, he explains.  “I just couldn’t believe more things weren’t shot here.  It’s a beautiful place to shoot, and you have the seasons, as well.”

Other films produced by Matt Haley and SoDel Film Co. include:

“Hands of Harvest”, a chronicle of the struggles and fortitude of the migrant Mexican women who fuel the crabbing industry on the Eastern Shore.  This documentary was picked up by the PBS network.

And, the soon to be released “Motorcycle Chang pa”, which explores the travels and survival of the nomadic Chang pa tribe through the high altitude deserts of the Himalayas.

Haley says he feels “happy and privileged” to make a film in Delaware.  “We are proud to be part of the Southern Delaware community and the State of Delaware”, he explains.  “We’d like to bring about more of an interest in film-there are other filmmakers that we look up to in the state that are doing great work.  We hope to expand the creative scene or platform of expression throughout the state.”

According to Matt Haley, the film will be completed over the summer, with plans for a fall premier and a submittal to the Rehoboth Independent Film Festival, among others.

SoDel Film Co. aims to produce one to 2 films a year, Matt says, with plans to establish a film festival of their own that would include a scholarship program for local aspiring filmmakers 18 years of age and under.

Betterliving Sunrooms & Awnings of Delmarva, Year Round, Three Season, Porch Enclosures, Awnings, Solar Shades, Pergolas, Dagsboro, Delaware…Look for them at the 29th Home Condo & Outdoor Show in Ocean City, Maryland, At the 16th Annual Delaware Resorts 2013 Home Expo in Rehoboth Beach

dscn1718

Out and about in Rehoboth Beach, I was chasing the moon…..so gorgeous!  In the past week, I have been walking, driving, and strolling the towns that we call home at the Delaware Beaches; Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach, Bethany Beach, and Fenwick Island.  I have noticed that people are starting to fix roofs, windows, yards, porches, driveways….it is almost like we can feel that just around the corner Spring and Summer are going to be knocking on our doors.  My daffodils are definitely coming up!!

Through the years I have met so many good friends, here, at the Delaware Beaches.  One, in particular, Alice, (and her husband, Charles), used to live here year round.  After years of living in the Delaware/Pennsylvania line they bought a place in Rehoboth Beach.  Then, just recently they sold that one and then bought a house in a really neat community.  Her house looks great.  The back overlooks a pond.

In the fall she called me to tell me that she was going to make her back porch year-round and add a maintenance free deck.  And, she was using Betterliving Sunrooms & Awnings of Delmarva.  She was telling me this because she knew they were advertising on AboutMyBeaches.  Betterliving offers plenty of glass and screens on their porches, letting you enjoy your surroundings even more, no matter what season.

Betterliving Sunrooms & Awnings of Delmarva is located at 32442 Royal Blvd., Unit 1 in Dagsboro, Delaware, 19939.  Dagsboro is just minutes west of Bethany Beach.  Tel. 302-251-0000.  Toll Free tel. 1-877-251-0080.  Website?  http://www.betterlivingdelmarva.com.  They are providers of Betterliving three season, year-round, sunrooms and awnings.

I can honestly recommend Betterliving Sunrooms & Awnings of Delmarva.  They are dependable and know what they are doing.  You can call them and have them come to your home for an in-house free estimate.  Also, until May 15th, there is free installation.

The renovations were finished at the end of November:

Then, they will also be at the 16th Annual Delaware Resorts 2013 Home Expo at the Rehoboth Beach Convention Center, located at 229 Rehoboth Avenue in Downtown Rehoboth Beach on Saturday, 4/6 and Sunday, 4/7.

It is that time of the year.  Do it now so that you can enjoy the rest of the season at the beach!!  Talk to you later!!

Dorman’s Donut Shoppe, Coffee & Bake Shop, Bagels, Fritters, Hand Dipped Donuts, Muffin Tops, Pastries, Sticky Buns…..Good Morning to You Too!!, Delaware Beaches

dscn1657

If you want to feel good go to a bake shop…better yet, go to a doughnut shop; they are happy places. This is what happened the other day when I visited a new doughnut shop called Dorman’s Donut Shoppe that opened at the end of January.  Opening at that time of the year was going to give them plenty of practice, so when the gates open to our beaches they would be more than ready.  Surprise, surprise….they have been so busy because year-round residents have received them with open arms.  I saw it for myself, and it was great to see.

dscn1659

My friend, Richard, knows Southern Delaware; Lewes in particular, like no other.  He loves to discover new places to eat.  He is always right on target.  Following his lead I went to Dorman’s Donut Shoppe located at 33247 Peddlers Village in the Angola area, on Rt. 24.  The address shows Lewes, Delaware, but in reality, it is in between Lewes and Rehoboth Beach; just minutes away. Tel. 302-827-1075. Rt. 24 is a well traveled route from Rehoboth/Lewes to Millsboro.

dscn1627

You will find Cheryl Dorman, her daughter in law, Stephanie, and Joan Mikulak making sure you get prompt service, delivered with plenty of smiles.  They are very excited about their new business and for the looks of it, customers were too.

dscn1630

Meet Arthur Sutton; usually customers don’t want anything to do with pictures, but he was picking up his order and with a big smile told me to go ahead.  Other customers were behaving in the same way.

dscn1625

Dorman’s Donut Shoppe is comfortable with plenty of tables for customers to sit, lounge and enjoy some of the many delicious offerings.  If you are in a hurry, there is a drive-thru window, as well.

dscn1647

Everything is homemade at Dorman’s, except the bagels.  The apple fritters got my attention first; they looked great.  I decided to “tour” the counter, but not before I ordered a bold cup of coffee.

dscn1612

Then, the banana walnut baked fritters with caramelized drizzle came next.

dscn1613

Muffin tops are very popular.  People love them; favorite part of a muffin. These were banana walnut, and blueberry muffin tops.

dscn1617

Followed by the chocolate chip muffin tops.

dscn1615

Stephanie brought me a sample of doughnuts…from left to right they were:  chocolate chip with peanut butter cookie, salty caramel, chocolate frosted with a dollop of butter cream, maple walnut, and German chocolate.

dscn1618

The sticky buns looked amazing.

dscn1623

They also have homemade croissants and cookies.

dscn1645

Between customers I chatted with Cheryl and Stephanie.  Cheryl told me that her mother had been a professional baker with cakes being her specialty. They will be adding more baked goods to the shop and have plenty of ideas for the immediate future.

Dorman’s Donuts also offer locally made granola and oatmeal mixes made by by Susie’s Wild Oats.  Gluten free granola is available by special order.

dscn1634

Usually you see people buying a doughnut here or there but, I am not sure, maybe it was because it was Friday, but they were  being ordered by the dozen.

dscn1635

You can customized the doughnuts to your liking.  Stephanie was making some more doughnuts and decided to give me some to take home; her favorites.

dscn1640

dscn1649

dscn1651

dscn1654

Two complete different flavors; the salty caramel, combines that sweetness and salty taste…could become a daily addiction.  I hope not.  If you like chocolate….the chocolate frosted is sooo good.

Dorman’s opens daily early until 3 p.m.  You can find them on Facebook as Dorman’s Donut Shoppe.

Have a great day!!

Delmarva Puppy Raisers, Guiding Eyes for The Blind, Free of Charge, Personal Freedon, Independence, Freedom, Dignity, Raising a Guide Dog Puppy is…A Lesson in Life

dscn1604

I was so happy to attend a very special evening with Chicks for Charity Southern Delaware.  The charity picked for February’s dinner at Fish On in Lewes, Delaware, was Delmarva Puppy Raisers.  It was such a neat evening with so many community residents in attendance, along with a couple of canines.

dscn1609

Guiding Eyes for the Blind is an internationally accredited guide school, providing greater independence, dignity, and new horizons of opportunity.  It is a leading, nonprofit 501(3) guide school.  Since 1954 they have provided thousands of blind and visually impaired people with specially bred and trained dogs that grant them greater independence.  Their headquarters are located at 611 Granite Springs Rd., Yorktown Heights, NY 10598.  Tel. 1-866-GEB-LABS.  Website?  http://www.guidingeyes.org.

I met Barbara and Randy.  They have raised several puppies and have been involved with the company for quite some time.  I believe Babara is the Director of the Delmarva Puppy Raisers.  They meet in Milford, Delaware, a couple of times a month.  Randy had Jagger with him last night.  He was gorgeous and very well behaved 1 year old.

dscn1597dscn1598

I was so curious to find out how they could give the dog up after spending 1 to 1 1/2 years with him or her.  They said it is hard, but at the same time you know the person that receives the dog gets a special gift; a life changing gift.  And, then, another puppy comes along and the process starts all over again.  Puppy raisers have first choice on adopting a dog they have raised if the dog is retired or for whatever reasons the dog is not going into the program.  Barbara and Randy have 2 of those dogs that in the past they have raised.

These dogs are so special.  It costs over $45,000 to breed, raise, train, and match each Guiding Eyes dog with its visually impaired handler.  These services are provided absolutely free of charge!!  Each Guiding Eyes puppy is specially bred for superior health and temperament.  They are born at their Canine Development Center in Patterson, N.Y.  Immediately, after birth their training starts somewhat.  Randy told me that when they get the puppies at 8 weeks, they already have basic commands down pat.

dscn1606

I asked Randy if they let him get on the bed….oh no.  Not on the bed or sofa or eating human food.  That simple.

And then I met Diamond.  This little girl was only 10 weeks old and adorable.  She is going to be great.  Alert, fun, and very well behaved too.

dscn1600dscn1601

I was asking Randy if he follows the dog once they give him or her back.  He said that it is up to the person that receives the dog.  Some do keep in touch and others, don’t.

If you are interested in becoming a puppy raiser, the first thing to do is complete the application at http://www.guidingeyes.org/volunteer.  A Guiding Eyes representative will contact you to discuss the next steps, which will be to attend pre-placement classes, meet your puppy, classes..etc. etc.

After puppy raising, the puppy will return to Guiding Eyes for evaluation by their professional staff.  Most dogs will continue on to formal guide dog training.

In 2007, Guiding Eyes for The Blind launched Heeling Autism, which is a service dog program in which they train select Guiding Eyes dogs to provide safety for children with autism.  The puppy you raised might be one of those.

If you want to talk to Barbara Byle, please call her at 302-422-3522.  There are Puppy Raising regions in Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Delaware, Connecticut, New York, Ohio, Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina.

I was so amazed and pleased to hear that in December there were about 50 of those puppies being raised by Delmarva Puppy Raisers.

Have a good one!!

Note:  Information for this post was taken from their brochures.

Casapulla’s Subs, Tuesdays, Jusst Sooup Ministry…Are you Hungry? Fundraising to help Jusst Sooup Ministry feed the Hungry, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware Beaches

img_7724

Eat Casapulla subs on Tuesdays until Tuesday, 3/26/13 and you will be tasting the best subs in town.  Located at the Lighthouse Shopping Center on Coastal Highway, Rehoboth Beach.  At the same time, on Tuesdays Casapulla’s Subs is donating 25% of their total sales to the Jusst Sooup Ministry.  They will have soup kettles in their store, if customers want to give money to the ministry.  Casapulla’s Subs is helping the Jusst Soup Ministry to continue their service to our community and raise awareness of their need for ongoing community support.

img_6868

Do you remember when the communities in Southern Delaware were caught up in the dream of helping the Jusst Sooup Ministry?  Well, it became a reality, but, since the Extreme Home Makeover Edition show, the donations have decreased by 80%.  This is the opposite of what was expected from all the publicity.  The donations have plummeted because of the misconception that the Jusst Sooup Ministry was given a large sum of money for their work.  In reality, the Ministry was given money for the maintenance and repairs necessary to keep the buildings in proper working order and for no other reason.  Even at that, a board controls these finances and they make necessary payments out to companies doing work maintaining these buildings.  Therefore, no money is accessible to the Jusst Sooup Ministry for the daily expenses involving their work feeding the hungry, which was and has always been Dale’s mission.

How can you help?

1.  You can eat at Casapulla’s Subs on Tuesdays.

2.  You can drop money in the soup pots at Casapulla’s Subs.

3.  You can donate money online at http://www.jusstsooup.org

4.  You can volunteer to help.

5.  You can also mail a check.

Jusst Sooup Ministry, Inc. 18483 Cool Spring Rd., Milton, DE 19968.  Tel. 302-644-8113.  Email: jusstsooupministry@yahoo.com  Website?   http://www.jusstsooup.org

It goes without saying that donations are desperately needed!!

So, once again….Are You Hungry?
