Delaware
Today in Delaware County history, July 6
100 Years Ago, 1924: Joseph Walker, 15 years old, of McCormick Avenue, Ridley Park, suffered an injury to his right hand about 7 o’clock Friday evening, while playing with a dynamite cap in celebration of the glorious Fourth. The boy was attempting to explode the dynamite cap by pounding on it with a rock. When the cap failed to go off after persistent hammering, Walker picked it up and it exploded, blowing off the ends of his four fingers of his right hand. The boy was taken to the Taylor Hospital, where he underwent treatment for his injury.
75 Years Ago, 1949: The mercury climbed to the summer’s peak of 100 degrees on Tuesday to equal the record for the date set in 1919. Two deaths in the county were attributed to the heat and two heat exhaustion victims were treated at Chester Hospital. A severe electrical storm, which arrived in the Chester area about midnight, caused considerable damage. A series of seven fires touched off through the Chester area and kept fire companies busy last night and early this morning, and resulted in injuries to three firemen.
50 Years Ago, 1974: A brief but vicious summer thunderstorm flashed through Delaware County on Friday afternoon. High winds blew trees into electric wires, knocking out power to Taylor Hospital in Ridley Park for an hour. Lightning struck a church and doctor’s office in Marple. And rain-dampened chlorine crystals turned into a dangerous gas that sent eight persons at Paxon Hollow Country Club in Marple to nearby hospitals. Only one person was ultimately admitted.
25 Years Ago, 1999: In response to a petition from parents of Glenolden School students, the Interboro School Board agreed to hire another teacher and open a fourth, third-grade class beginning in September. Interboro in May hired third-grade teachers at Prospect Park and Norwood after receiving money from the federal Class Size Reduction Initiative program. Parents countered that the 28-student class size at Glenolden was much higher than other schools in the district.
10 Years Ago, 2014: Two proposed projects at Media’s western gateway could change the face and perception of the county seat. David Della Porta of Cornerstone Communities and Jason Duckworth of Arcadia Land Co. appeared at council’s July work session, allowing architect Bob Linn to present site plans for a four-story, 150-unit apartment building on the south side Baltimore Pike, just east of Brooke Street, and a companion project of 22 townhouses on the north side of Baltimore Pike yards from the end of State Street. They came away from the meeting with encouraging comments from the board.

For many people in Delaware, the UDairy Creamery is a favorite spot for a scoop of ice cream.
Whether customers are ordering guava sherbet, butter pecan or one of the creamery’s many other flavors, the University of Delaware shop has built a loyal following over the past 15 years.
But almost as soon as the creamery opened on the university’s South Campus, it outgrew its space.
“It was always a little too small and a little too tough to come in and leave at the same time,” said Jen Rodammer of the UDairy Creamery.
Connected to the University of Delaware’s College of Agriculture, the creamery offers products that go beyond ice cream. Everything starts with the university’s agricultural programs.
“We sell honey from our apiary, we sell wool blankets for our sheep, we have Angus beef cuts available too, so we are really the connector between the college and everything we do here,” Rodammer said.
For now, customers can visit a temporary pop-up version of the creamery inside the ice rink next door while construction continues on the main building.
The renovation project, which has closed the creamery’s longtime home and impacted traffic near Townsend Hall, is designed to create a larger and more accessible space. University officials say visitors can expect quicker service, additional seating and more room to enjoy their ice cream.
“So our patio is being completely redone. There’s gonna be benches, chairs, tables and just a lot more friendly and welcoming,” Rodammer said. “It’s not just gonna be the creamery. It’s botanical gardens also.”
By late August, one of the biggest changes will be a stronger connection between the creamery and the University of Delaware’s botanical garden trails, which are free and open to the public. Visitors will be able to walk the trails and see the cows that help produce the milk used in the creamery’s ice cream.
The expansion comes after years of growth for a business that Rodammer said was originally expected to be much smaller.
“I don’t think they thought it was gonna be more than a mom and pop shop. And it really changed quickly. We’ve become a community staple, which is really exciting for us,” she said.
