We could never get her out of the
office… was just one of the many accolades heard as
City Council honored and recognized Marian Delaney’s
thirty-five years of service to the City with the passing of
Resolution 2015-42.
Anything financial, human relations, managing the inner workings of
the City has had her thumb print on it. All attending members of City
Council and officials praised Marian dedication and work ethic.
Following the Town Hall ceremony everyone ventured to the
administration building for a luncheon being joined by the Police
officers and many City officials, fellow workers and friends
throughout the community.
Marian said a thank you to
all and reminded us of
being very camera shy.
You have
made the City
a better
place.

THIS
FRIDAY
minnehaha
a Lakota Sioux word for "curling water" is one of those classic
cocktails What sets this cocktail over the other is that the
vermouth and orange juice ratios are switched.
The Minnehaha concentrates on the vermouth and backs off
the juice, which makes this cocktail drier.

If you are brave enough to explore the
darker side of New Castle's history, then
join the New Castle Historical Society
this October for the only ghost tour that
brings you inside one of the most
haunted mansions of Old New Castle! You'll begin your journey into New
Castle's supernatural side with a tour of
the legendary Amstel House - one of
New Castle's most haunted houses where you may meet the "Woman in
Blue." After exploring the Amstel
House, you will be guided through New
Castle's darkened streets and alleyways
where you will hear macabre tales of
hauntings, Victorian death & funeral
customs, and crime & punishment that
span the 360-year history of this
Delaware River town.
This will be a sell-out.
Make your reservations early.
