Gift benefits Italian studies at Cape Henlopen High School
By Italian-American Herald
LEWES – Italian classrooms at Cape Henlopen High School have begun receiving the Italian magazine OGGI, and a deserving senior will soon be awarded a $1,100 scholarship.
The new developments began in December when faculty member Cristina Christy received a check intended to foster “the diffusion of the Italian language and culture” from the America-Italy Society
of Philadelphia (aisphila.org), under the direction of Franca Riccardi.
Christy’s Italian classes had previously enjoyed a subscription to OGGI magazine, but the cost had recently tripled, making it prohibitively expensive.
“This magazine is perfect for students
in every level,” Christy said. “It is similar to our People magazine in that the articles are current, and on topics that interest almost every student. This year especially, with so many students learning in part or completely on a computer, our students have little opportunity to hold a book or do work on paper – and some of them/us miss this!”
Christy looks forward to awarding the balance of the America-Italy Society of Philadelphia check to a deserving senior.
“While I have had many deserving students, the one who will receive this award holds a special place in my heart. I cannot wait to present it,” she said.
Christy also looks forward to resuming class visits to Italy once the pandemic has passed. The last trip was in 2017. IAH

New Castle County Register of Wills Ciro Poppiti and New Castle County funeral directors hosted a videoconference May 13 to announce a new program by the Federal Emergency Management Agency that will reimburse out-of-pocket funeral expenses up to $9,000 for people whose deaths were related to COVID-19.
Program requirements:
• The death must have occurred in the United States, including the U.S. territories, and the District of Columbia.
• The death certificate must indicate the death was attributed to COVID-19.
• The applicant must be a U.S. citizen,
non-citizen national, or qualified alien who incurred funeral expenses after Jan. 20, 2020.
To apply, contact FEMA at 844-684-6333 for assistance. No online applications are being accepted. The phone call takes about 20 minutes, and applicants are reminded to gather relevant documentation before calling, including an official death certificate that attributes the death directly or indirectly to COVID-19; funeral expenses documents that include the applicant’s name, the deceased person’s name, the amount of funeral expenses, and the dates the funeral expenses happened; and proof of funds received from other sources specifically for use toward funeral costs.
