First Street Station announces Name the Mural contest
The newest arrival at First Street Station,
a beach mural by renowned artist Matt Wil-
Icy, now graces the wall space in the First
Street Station courtyard, located just off
Rehoboth Avenue.
Willey designed and completed the mural
in May. Featuring the ocean and sky along
with Delaware shrubs and trees, the mural
adds a picturesque scene to the already
unique shopping complex. "The intense
color scheme of the mural fit the colors of
First Street Station/' Willey said.
As part of the mural project, First Street
Station has announced a Name the Mural
contest. During the month of June, visitors
have the opportunity to name the mural and
win a $100 shopping spree at First Street
Station.
From now until July 7, visitors can pick
up an entry form at any of First Street Sta-
tion's 20 stores and drop it in the drop box
next to the mural.
The contest is open to people of all ages.
The name should be unique and convey the
essence of the mural. On Saturday, July 15,
the winner will be announced and his or her
name will be displayed on a plaque by the
mural.
Wiiley received a bachelor of fine arts
degree from the School of the Museum of
Fine Arts and Tufts University in 1993.
During the past seven years, he has worked
as an artist creating murals up and down the
east coast, in homes and retail stores. He al-
so paints portraits and exhibits his own
work. He recently painted the Purple Parrot
Restaurant in Rehoboth Beach.
Willey said he began painting at age five
because his mother was a painter. "I can't
not paint/' he said. The Washington, D.C.
resident said he was enthusiastic about this
mural because he got to "be outside in the
springtime at the beach:'
First Street Station, located at First Street
and Rehoboth Avenue, has more than 20
tax-free specialty shops. Completely re-
stored, this shopping complex was once the
Rehoboth Railroad Station a century ago.

Bell Atlantic customers
get basic reductions
Most Bell Atlantic customers in
Delaware will soon see lower lo-
cal telephone service rates as the
result of several decisions made
recently by the Delaware Public
Service Commission (PSC). The
new rates are effective July 1.
In one decision, the PSC ap-
proved rate reductions for resi-
dence and business Touch-Tone
service and carrier access charges
totaling approximately $486.000
a year. Bell Atlantic-Delaware is
making the reductions under the
Telecommunications Technology
Investment Act (TTIA). There
have been no basic rate increases
in the six years since Bell At-
lantic-Delaware elected to be gov-
emed under the TTIA and in fact,
these rates have decreased for
three straight years.
In another decision, the PSC-
approved changes in classifica-
tions for local usage and miscella-
neous services affecting a small
number of customers. These
changes, coupled with the TTIA
reduction, result in overall net rate
reduction to consumers of
$123,000.
