January 2020 Dear Community Member, As Part of Croda Atlas January 2020 Dear Community Member, As part of Croda Atlas Point’s commitment to safety and socially responsible business practices, we are dedicating additional resources to keep our community informed and have further news to share. Community Alarm – Installation Complete To further support our renewed commitment to the community, Croda has completed the installation of an audible community alarm, the “Croda Community Notification System” (CCNS), separate from our site-only alarms for employees, to alert the community to situations, if ever needed. Working in cooperation with the New Castle County Office of Emergency Management, the CCNS would be used to notify neighbors of an emergency. The Croda Community Notification System (CCNS) The CCNS includes an audible speaker located at the corner of Cherry Lane and Lukens Drive in New Castle, DE. The CCNS is designed to broadcast an emergency tone to people living and working within a one-mile radius of the Croda plant. This includes portions of Collins Park, Swanwyck Gardens, Holloway Terrace, and Simonds Gardens. The CCNS will be activated in the event of an emergency at the Croda facility where the surrounding community would be required to take action. When the CCNS is activated, the neighboring community will hear a tone that will sound in a steady manner for five minutes. If you hear this tone, please tune to one of the emergency broadcast stations below for further instructions. EMERGENCY BROADCAST STATIONS IMPORTANT NOTE: WSTW 93.7 FM The CCNS is tested on the WDSD 94.7 FM 2nd Tuesday in February, WTMC 1380 AM and 98.5 FM (DELDOT Radio broadcast) May, August, and November. WVUD 91.3 FM WDEL 1150 AM WILM 1450 AM WJBR 99.5 FM For 2020: Testing dates are planned for February 11, May 12, August 11, and Comcast (Xfinity), Atlantic Broadband and Verizon FIOS also broadcast November 10 at appx 7 pm. Test alarm will sound for 2 minutes. You can find more information about our community-focused updates and other information by visiting our Atlas Point-dedicated webpage (www.croda.com/atlas-point) or by calling our information line, details below. We are committed to continuing our operations as a safe and socially responsible business, and we are dedicated to working collaboratively with the community now and in the future. Sincerely, Chris Barnett Site Director To keep our community members informed about important Croda Atlas Point information regarding our plant during times of emergency, we 315 Cherry Lane offer the Croda Atlas Point Community Information Line: 302-429-5474.

  • 2009 Hall of Fame Induction May 5, 2009 Bill Chambless
    2009 Hall of Fame induction May 5, 2009 Bill Chambless Bill was the host of the popular ‘Scratchy Grooves’ program on WXDR and WVUD from 1984-2002. Initially meant to be a 6 week temporary program that featured old recordings from Bill’s collection (“scratches and all!”), Scratchy Grooves continued on, and in perhaps the greatest testament to its creator, lasted well past Bill’s death in 2003. Additionally, old shows culled from Bill’s son’s tribute website were brought back to the airwaves in 2009. Bill Chambless Bill combined a vast knowledge of his musical subject matter with a warm, inviting voice, and a quirky sense of humor to become a beloved figure for many WXDR/WVUD listeners. His ability to share the joy of radio and music with his listeners was unparalleled. WVUD hosts and listeners alike receive a healthy dose of Bill’s voice every day, oftentimes without even being aware of it. Dozens of station promos that Bill created have withstood the test of time and are still being happily played and listened to by people who were not around when Bill initially worked at the radio station. Greer Firestone Every story has a beginning and when it was decided that the University of Delaware needed a radio station, student Greer Firestone was among those who made it happen. On a cold night in October 1968 at around 8 PM, the ten-watt carrier current WHEN-AM began broadcasting with the prophetic words “WHEN is Now!” spoken by the station’s co-founder and General Manager, Greer Firestone.
