Penn Township rescinds parking lot resolutions

The resolutions would have required the Avon Grove School District to add a 96-space overflow parking lot at the new High School

By Marcella Peyre-Ferry

Contributing Writer

At their June 7 meeting, the Penn Township Board of Supervisors voted to vacate and rescind motions passed at the May 3 and May 17 meetings. These resolutions would have required the Avon Grove

School District to install a 96-space overflow parking lot at the new High School, as noted on the approved site plans.

The board also passed a resolution to defend the township or take action to settle two lawsuits filed by the school district contending that both of the original resolutions concerning the

additional parking were made in violation of the state’s Sunshine Law.

Because the resolutions have been rescinded, the school district’s lawsuits and the request for an injunction become unnecessary.

The township has received a variety of con-

Unionville High School celebrates its 100th graduating class

By HaLeigh Abbott Contributing Writer

Unionville High School’s Class of 2023 is one that won’t soon be forgotten as the 100th graduating class for the school district.

The commencement, held on June 8 at the Bob Carpenter Center at the University of Delaware, heard many of the commencement speakers talk about the differences between the first graduating class of 1923 and the present. Edwin Hubble had not yet proved the universe was bigger than our own

marginally more in vehicle coverage, addressing areas that were more unreliable,” said Andrew Petersohn, a radio frequency engineer with dBm Engineering who testified at the public hearing.

CellCo/Verizon attorney Nicholas A. Cuce Jr. said the company “worked very diligently with Longwood Gardens to come up with a stealth design,” meaning that the antennas and other equipment would blend in with the surroundings.

“The antennas are going to be placed on top and completely stealthed from view,” Cuce said. “The equipment at the base will be shielded from view.”

If installed, the antennas would be 153 feet above ground level.

The commencement began with a processional to “Pomp and Circumstance” by the school band, followed by a beautiful presentation of the “Star Spangled Banner,” a performance of the school’s alma mater, and a benediction by the school choir.

Avon Grove graduates 429 in June 7 ceremony

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer

If there was ever a group of high school students whose educational paths have been spun so abruptly over the course of the last four years, it has been the 429 members of the Avon Grove High School Class of 2023, who endured not only a worldwide pandemic but a myriad of adjustments in the closing of one high school and their move to a newly built school on the other side of West Grove.

All of those students – as well as their trials and their successes -- were celebrated at the school’s 95th annual commencement ceremony on June 7, held before an audience of approximately

4,000 friends and family at the Bob Carpenter Center in Newark.

“Class of 2023, the start of your high school career was the start of the pandemic and you learned how

to be flexible, with little to no notice,” Principal Dr. Christie Snead told the graduates in her welcoming comments. “What makes your class unique

The foreshadowing of a possible thunderstorm halfway through graduation last Friday evening was no match for the love the Kennett Consolidated School District has for its outdoor ceremonies and the high school’s majestic front steps. The administration went ahead with the al fresco celebration in early evening even as menacing clouds hovered overhead and thunder rumbled in the distance. At 6 p.m. the school’s orchestra initiated its live presentation

concerned reports about traffic and parking in connection with the new High School. There are reports of students parking in the shopping center lot on the opposite side of Route 796, which relates to an increase in student pedestrians crossing the road. The concern about safety prompted the supervisors to pass the initial resolutions.

“The Penn Township Supervisors started this process with the safety of school children first and foremost in their minds. As

“Whether you excelled in the classroom, the shop, a lab, on the stage, on the court or on the field, you have experienced challenge and disappointment, but instead of throwing in the towel, you accepted the challenge by adapting and persevering.”

In her address “Jump In,” class valedictorian Rachel Enache said her greatest accomplishment at Avon Grove girls soccer team, who after the graduation of several senior members, were told to expect a few rebuilding seasons ahead. After an opening day tie, “we built upon our past successes and made improvements to capitalize on who we lost,” she said. “Rather than reconstruct our team from scratch, we reflected on the positives of the previous year. Pass by pass, play by play, game by game, we focused on what we could control -our effort, our teammates and our actions.”

The commitment led the team to an undefeated season, said Enache, who encouraged her classmates to endure the unknown in the future in the same, deliberate fashion.

“By taking a step back, you will see you can break your problems into smaller, more manageable pieces,” she said. “Jump into this new chapter with confidence and optimism, and don’t be afraid to face

always, the Penn Township supervisors strive to protect the health, safety, and welfare of all,” the board stated in a press release. According to the press release, the district has indicated that they are now making additional parking spaces available.

Unrelated to the number of parking spaces, there have been complaints that the increased traffic at school opening and closing times is creating backups at the intersection of Baltimore Pike and Route 796.

In other business, David Payne, the new director of the Avon Grove Library was on hand to introduce himself to the supervisors

and the audience. The Avon Grove Library has been without a permanent director for some time. Payne had previously worked at the City of Baltimore Library.

“We’re looking at getting engaged and offering something for everyone,”

Payne said. He noted that the summer reading program will be starting soon, with its beginning and ending events held at the Penn Township Park. A story time and a movie night at the park are also planned.

“Pomp and Circumstance,” and the evening was on its way.

The scene the audience was treated to was striking, with administration, staff and students proceeding arm-in-arm in pairs down the revered front steps of the school.

The community has historically held that procession in high regard as a valued Kennett Square tradition.

There was some talk among spectators early in the evening about the air quality and pollution which had settled itself on the region two nights earlier, but that, too, had largely abated in time for Kennett’s event.

she said.

Then she added a poignant message that many in her class could relate to: “My parents came here from Mexico to give their family a better life,” she said.

A large segment of the senior class has Mexican roots with more than 40 percent of the district’s student body reported to be Hispanic.

The student speakers who followed delivered their remarks based on the subjects of appreciation, exploration, communication and illumination, in that order.

Paul Mullin spoke on the effect they will have on the future. “We will share our light with others, and our light will illuminate the world.”

He added, “The light of Kennett goes on with us. Teachers were the mirrors that reflected our light.”

Assistant Principal Jeffrey Thomas announced that the members of the senior class had earned $89.2 million in future college scholarships with more added from alumni contributions.

In her speech, entitled “Words of Wisdom,” class salutatorian Mikaela Cavanagh encouraged her classmates to “stay in the present. It won’t be easy but life will pass you before you know it if you don’t pay attention. Be brave. Be kind.”

Additional speakers included Class President Carlos Ochoa-Martin, who delivered his speech "Mr. President"; senior speaker Gabriella Bellavaer, who delivered her address “Four Years of Bravery” and senior speaker Taylor Fox, whose speech was entitled, “Start Your Engines.” The opening and closing processional was conducted by the Avon Grove High School Graduation Band under the direction of Sam Stewart and Michael

Daviano. The event also included two performances by the Avon Grove High School Senior Chorale Ensemble under the direction of Amanda Wilcox.

Eighty-three percent of the class will attend 121 colleges and universities, and will receive over $4.6 million in college scholarships.

Snead encouraged the graduates to be humble in their victories and resilient in their hard times.

“By embracing the uncomfortable, growth begins at the end of your comfort zone,” she said. “The one who wins the race in the long run is usually not the strongest or fastest, but the one who has worked the hardest.”

At the start, more than 300 graduating seniors took their seats on the front lawn and greeted their classmate Emiliano Rodriguez, who was charged with leading the Pledge of Allegiance. Emiliano, however, had plenty extra to say beforehand.

“We did it!” he exclaimed. Thanking his friends, teachers and parents, he added, “You have taught us who we are.”

There were five student speakers, including Class President Britney Sadano, who was later awarded the Advisor’s Cup. She reviewed the ups and downs of their four years in the high school, including the interruptions caused by COVID-19. She also offered thanks to teachers, family and friends.

“No one has reached this achievement alone,”

Luke Sandusky, on the subject of appreciation, said the movie “High School Musical” was not the model of life at Kennett High School. And yet, Kennett High School has its own charm, stories and characters. “It is its own high school musical,” he said.

Sandusky added, “Kennett was not glamorized in this movie. And yet, our musical is right in front of your eyes. . . .Don’t take things for granted. Real life has given us so much beauty.”

On the subject of exploration, Blake Ciresa said Kennett enabled class members to find their identity. “It has become part of us. Kennett has helped us find our passion. We will always be ourselves as Kennett students,” she said.

Matthew Wilson, who was later awarded the school’s highest honor, The Rupert Cup, spoke on the topic of communication said understanding. He said it goes in both directions among people -- giving and receiving. “Listen to one another to learn and overcome challenges,” he said. Addressing illumination,

Assistant Principal Duane Kotz announced each senior individually as they processed up the steps, received their diplomas on stage, posed for pictures and returned to their seats. Even as they proceeded with the awarding of the diplomas, faint thunder rumbled in the distance and the local fire trucks drove by, sirens blowing, responding to a smoldering mulch nearby.

Alexa Pizzini, a Kennett Middle School teacher who herself is a graduate of the high school, welcomed the new graduates to the alumni association.

Principal Lorenzo DeAngelis had a special relationship with them because he knew the members of the Class of 2023 when he was previously the principal of Kennett Middle School. When he assumed the role of high school principal this year, they were there as his former students.

He told them he always felt, “This class was destined to shine,” ever since he first met them in sixth grade.

“Don’t ever forget where you came from,” he said.

Many of the parents brought balloons and flowers for their graduating children.

The Kennett High School Orchestra, under the direction of Jessica Williams, provided the live musical accompaniment to the processional march with “Pomp and Circumstance” and the recessional with “La Rejouissance.”

was different than others in that “we went in to correct a need.

“In discussions with (Longwood Gardens) about that, we learned about public safety issues they’re having,” Gannon said. “They wanted to know if there was something they could do more robustly to improve the network.”

Longwood Gardens wanted to remove cellular trouble-spots its visitors encountered, often by the meadow and the back side of the Italian water gardens. The addition of the cellular antennas would also benefit residents of the Kendal retirement community.

High School Principal

Dr. Amy Jenkins and Superintendent Dr. John Sanville welcomed the graduates and their families, and applauded the hard work and dedication required to reach this day.

Student Honor Speakers included Madeleine Day, Ria Saxena, and Eric Steuber. Day described the many accomplishments of the graduation class, including 11,250 hours of completed community service and $277,000 raised to fight pediatric cancer.

Saxena elegantly related

“There was concern from Kendal about the same issues that Longwood has,” Cuce said, asking Petersohn if the antennas would provide full coverage for the 11 miles of trails that the community’s residents use.

“They will,” Petersohn said.

In a report submitted to the township as part of the conditional-use hearing, Petersohn identified six sites nearby used by Verizon, including one on a monopole on Longwood Gardens’ property. He wrote, “There is a significant gap in reliable in-vehicle coverage in the areas along and surrounding Route 926 that the facility is designed to address. Further, the surrounding largely residential uses will benefit from improved inbuilding service.”

Verizon would be the only network provider using the

high school to a series of doors that open and close, and encouraged all graduates to look back through the windows to remember it. Steuber offered advice as a hero’s tale, motivating his classmates to face their fears and choose their paths wisely.

Sanville said, “The class of 2023 has unlimited options, and I know you will seize every opportunity you get.”

During her welcome message, Jenkins said, “100 years from now, this class will be remembered for their perseverance. This class helped us return to normal (after the COVID19 pandemic) with school and extracurricular activities.”

antennas at this point, according to Petersohn, although there would be space for proposed future equipment by others.

“All antennas will be housed behind a screen wall that will match the water tank and therefore will not be visible,” Cuce wrote in a letter to the township.

The water tower would have a black vinyl chainlink fence at its base surrounding an emergency diesel generator and other equipment that Verizon needs to operate the antennas, he said. The fence would also be blended with the surroundings.

The East Marlborough zoning hearing board will hold a hearing June 22 on the zoning variance requested by CellCo/ Verizon. The supervisors will next reconvene the conditional-use hearing on July 10.

Jenkins closed her remarks by requesting that graduates continue to “laugh, love, and make memories along the journey.”

Kennett Summerfest draws hundreds to enjoy local wineries, distilleries

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer

For the entirety of the second annual Kennett Summerfest Wine & Spirits Festival on June 11 – one that attracted several hundred admirers of everything from Cabernet Sauvignon to distilled whiskey -- it was a four-hour pour-and-adore, flavor-and-savor fest, presented by the makers of some of the finest wine and spirits being made in southeastern Pennsylvania.

The festival’s key purpose may have been to introduce those in attendance to the fermented fruits being grown and cultivated throughout the Chester County region, but on a larger scale, the event also served as a celebration of sorts for a region that has for the past several years defied the odds and created a thriving local industry out of the rocky soils and four seasons of southeastern Pennsylvania.

All along the 100 block of South Broad Street, the curious and the thirsty sipped from the varietals offered by wineries who have long been entrenched in the local wine scene, as well as a growing roster of entrepreneurs who

have opened vineyards and tasting rooms – or soon will be -- throughout southern Chester County. Combined, they are major players in elevating Pennsylvania wines to becoming among the top five wine producers by state in the U.S., according to several websites.

Kennett Borough Council President Doug Doerfler said that the festival acknowledges an often overlooked component of the area’s burgeoning wine culture.

“Even aside from the social activity aspect of this festival, this is about celebrating the agricultural business in southern Chester County,”

Oxford Library prepares for a busy summer

Activities will range from a clown class to a fishing tournament

By Betsy Brewer Brantner Contributing Writer

Doerfler said. “You’ve got the winemakers, and then you have the farmers. When you hear people come to any of our wineries, they are thinking of the vintages and the tastes, but traditionally, the emphasis is rarely on the growers behind all of those varietals.

“That’s what has started to change in Chester County – the placing of more focus on and appreciation for the agricultural industry, which is what this festival does so well.”

“Everybody looks happy and that’s how I measure the success of the event –by the smiles on everyone’s faces,” said Daniel Embree, the executive director of Kennett Collaborative, who sponsored the event. “I have been exploring the wine culture in Chester County and the Brandywine Valley over the past few years, and what’s magical about this festival is that people can do all of that exploring in one day.

“Kennett Collaborative is partnering with the Brandywine Artisan Wine Trail, which has been experiencing a resurgence of popularity lately, because the quality of the wine speaks for itself and the people are noticing that growing quality. As a result, the wine industry in southeastern Pennsylvania and the Brandywine Valley is really taking off.”

The Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce and Oxford Library recently held a ribboncutting ceremony for a Bilingual Book Walk in Oxford Memorial Park.

The Book Walk adapts a children’s book to be displayed in a set of 16 large panels with each panel featuring a page of the story. This fun and educational activity promotes literacy and outdoor activity as the reader enjoys the

story while strolling down a shady path in the park.

The Oxford Library is also fortunate to have Tony Zavala, who can assist the Spanish-speaking visitors to the library.

Carey Bresler, the director of the Oxford Library, announced the annual fishing tournament at a recent council meeting.

“The fishing tournament, which will be held on June 24 from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., is our biggest fundraiser of the year,” Bresler said. “We are fortunate to be able to hold it again at the Glenroy Preserve. There will be cash prizes and great fishing.”

Bresler added, “Register online at the Event Brite page. You can also download and deliver the form to the library or mail it to us.”

Fishing enthusiasts in all ages can register for the tournament. The cost to register is $25 for adults, $15 for Veterans, and $15 for children. There are three ponds, overflowing with fish, where the angers can cast their rods.

The Lions Club will be hosting lunch at the Preserve during the event.

“All the programs at the library are free and that would not be possible without the support we receive from so many,” Bresler said.

There are so many reasons to visit the library this summer, including checking out books, videos, audio books or participating in numerous programs and events. Visitors can also save money with museum and park passes, use public computers, learn a new craft, check out lectures, connect to Wi-Fi and much more.

Congratulations to the Class of 2023

It’s always a highlight for us to be able to report about the graduation ceremonies at Avon Grove, Kennett, Oxford, and Unionville-Chadds Ford.

Last week’s Chester County Press featured a recap of Oxford Area High School graduation, and this week’s edition highlights the commencement exercises for Avon Grove, Kennett, and Unionville students.

The excitement at these ceremonies is palpable as the graduates reach a milestone moment in their young lives. One chapter is ending, but a new and exciting chapter is about to begin for each person.

Each student deserves their moment on center stage to celebrate the accomplishments and achievements they worked for for so many years. Of course, it’s what comes next that really matters.

The world awaits to see how the Class of 2023 will make a difference.

Many of the students will soon head off to college to study art, business administration, social work, or any of dozens of other subjects.

Some members of the Class of 2023 will work toward becoming the next generation of doctors, nurses, and teachers.

Others will go to technical schools to learn a trade. We need mechanics and plumbers and groundskeepers, too.

The military always needs a few good men and women. Lots of good men and women, actually. Some of the members of the Class of 2023 will enlist in the military, while others will enter the workforce. Others will start families right away.

For the members of the class of 2023, there are many paths to a successful life.

We hope that they have the courage to follow the words of Henry David Thoreau, the American naturalist, essayist, and poet, who is often quoted during graduation season: “ Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.”

Congratulations to the Class of 2023!

State lawmakers announce animal protection legislation

Legislation inspired by the rescue of nearly 4,000 beagles from a breeding facility in Virginia was announced by Pa. state lawmakers, animal advocates, and rescue organizations at a special press conference at the Brandywine Valley SPCA.

State Sen. Carolyn Comitta was joined by State Sen. Katie Muth, State Sen. John Kane, State Rep. Melissa Shusterman, and State Rep. Chris Pielli in announcing the Dog and Cat Protection Act (also known as the Pennsylvania Beagle Bills).

The package of legislation, introduced as Senate Bills 701, 702, and 703 in the Senate by Comitta and in the House by State Rep. Ryan Bizzarro, would prohibit the sale of dogs and cats by breeders with certain violations under the Animal Welfare Act and ensure that dogs and cats used for testing are made available for adoption.

The legislation also narrows the exemptions for animal cruelty to help ensure that real scientific or medical research is being conducted by testing facilities and extends whistleblower protection to employees who report violations of the Dog Law.

“Anyone who has ever spent time with a pet, or a companion animal knows what pure love and joy it can be,” Comitta said. “This legislation represents an important step forward because every animal deserves to be treated humanely and every dog or cat deserves to have hope for adoption as part of a loving family.”

“It is long overdue that

Lawmakers and animal advocates gathered with rescue beagles at the Brandywine Valley SPCA to support the Dog and Cat Protection Act, also known as the Pennsylvania Beagle Bills.

Pennsylvania takes steps that our neighboring states have taken to enhance protections for animals and to ensure that dogs and cats bred and sold for experimental purposes are protected by our cruelty to animals law,” Muth said. “As co-chair of the Animal Protection Caucus, I am hopeful that we can start to move these bills through the legislative process and make Pennsylvania a leader in animal protection.”

"Every animal deserves to be treated with kindness, respect, and care. As an avid animal lover and owner of both dogs and cats, I am proud to support the Dog and Cat Protection Act and the efforts of my colleagues,” Kane said. "We must ensure that dogs and cats bred for research receive humane treatment and are rewarded with the loving homes they deserve.”

“It’s easy to overlook what happens behind the

closed doors of laboratories, but these animals deserve a second chance at life,” Shusterman, who also serves as co-chair of the Animal Protection Caucus, said.

“Pennsylvania has one of the largest populations of dogs used in experiments. Fourteen other states have already made these adoptions possible. Pennsylvania should be leading the way in treating these animals humanely.”

“I’m proud to support this legislation, and applaud the efforts of State Senator Comitta, Representative Bizzarro, and Representative Shusterman to promote the humane treatment of and expansion of adoption possibilities for our furry friends,” said Pielli.

Kristen Tullo, Pennsylvania State Director of the Humane Society of the United States, said that the Pennsylvania Beagle bills will help ensure dogs and cats bred for research receive the protec-

tion and humane treatment they deserve.

“By holding breeding facilities accountable for animal welfare violations, the legislation would prevent horrible conditions like the Envigo beagles suffered through in a breeding facility that sold dogs for use in experiments. We’d like to thank Senator Comitta and state lawmakers for gathering in support of their unwavering dedication to end this cruelty in Pennsylvania,” she said.

“The Legislative Package that is the Dog and Cat Protection Act, if passed, would have widespread, tangible impact in ensuring some of the most vulnerable animals are afforded a chance to find their forever home,” said Tanner Polce, Chief Advancement Officer at the Brandywine Valley SPCA. “We’re thrilled that both Sen. Comitta and Rep. Bizzarro are championing these critical pieces of legislation. On behalf of the more than 18,000 lives that the Brandywine Valley SPCA care for and place each year, we are thrilled to support the Dog and Cat Protection Act.”

The legislators were joined by several rescue beagles, including Leeloo, who Daria Flynn rescued from the Envigo facility last summer. The facility was shut down after it was found to be in multiple violations of the federal Animal Welfare Act. Nearly 40 rescue beagles were adopted out through the Brandywine Valley SPCA.

Penn Township’s statement about parking situation at and near new Avon Grove High School

Penn Township officials released the following statement about the parking situation at and near the new Avon Grove High School:

Since the beginning of the 2022-2023 school year, a large number of school children have been walking across PA Route 796 (S. Jennersville Road), to and from the Avon Grove High School to the Shoppes of Jenners Village, and other businesses where the school children are parking their cars. The responsibility of the township is to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of the community. The Penn Supervisors feared that school children crossing Route 796 will ultimately result in the injury, or worse, to one or more of those school children, residents or visitors to Penn Township. Therefore, the Penn Supervisors enacted a motion which activated a provision, in the school’s approved and recorded land development plan, to

require the school district to construct 96 additional parking spaces when the Penn Supervisors deemed it necessary.

The Supervisors’ first effort to enact that provision was on May 3, 2023, at their regularly scheduled public meeting. In response, the Avon Grove School District issued a letter from their Solicitor accusing Penn Township of violating the Sunshine Act.

While Penn Supervisors do not believe their action violated that Act, in an abundance of caution, the Supervisors advertised and held a second public meeting on May 17, 2023, to “cure” any perception of violation and took the same action again. The Avon Grove School District responded to this effort to ensure the safety of school children in the Avon Grove School District by filing two lawsuits totaling over 360 pages seeking Preliminary Injunction relief from

building that 96-space lot.

From the inception of the school building process, Penn Township Supervisors, professionals, and staff have endeavored to protect the health and safety of the school children and all in the community. Penn Supervisors’ actions to activate more parking lot space was a simple effort to protect the safety of the school children who have been crossing a busy road. In the letter accusing the township of violating the Sunshine Act, the Avon Grove School District Solicitor revealed that more parking spaces may now be available.

Although the number is not as high as the township required in the May 3 and 17 motions, those additional parking spaces should, to some extent, alleviate the parking/walking issue.

While the Penn Supervisors are aware of and take seriously their responsibility to defend against lawsuits, it is also their responsibility to

be prudent with Penn taxpayer dollars. The taxpaying residents and businesses of Penn Township would be uniquely and disproportionately affected as their funds will be used by both the Avon Grove School District and Penn Township to pay attorneys’ fees in this action.

Considering that strongly, the Penn Supervisors determined at their June 7, 2023, regular public meeting to rescind the motions made on May 3, 2023, and May 17, 2023, requiring that the Avon Grove School District construct the 96-space lot. The potential indicated by the school district that they can produce additional spaces in its current configuration was certainly a factor in that decision.

The Penn Township Supervisors started this process with the safety of school children first and foremost in their minds. As always, the Penn Township Supervisors strive to protect the health, safety, and welfare of all.

The legislation, introduced by State Sen. Carolyn Comitta, helps ensure better protections and opportunities for adoption for dogs and cats bred for research or testing.

New French micro bakery finds home in Kennett Borough

By HaLeigh Abbott

Contributing Writer

A new French Micro

Bakery has made Kennett Square its home, offering small batch, hand-made pastries without the sticker shock associated with fine baking.

Lola Pâtisserie had a soft opening in early March, and has been selling out their bakery shelves stocked with beautiful treats like macarons, fresh tarts and the signature canelé every weekend since.

The shop is located at 219 E. State Street next to Hill Top Flower Company. Owner and baker Kallista Pluciennik is originally from Scranton, Pa. After completing an Associates Degree in 2015 at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y., Pluciennik returned home to open a successful storefront in Scranton. Her regulars loved the French macarons, and even helped

keep the business afloat in 2020 when Pluciennik and her boyfriend moved to Philadelphia with hopes of opening a store front before the COVID pandemic delayed her plans.

After moving to Delaware and looking for a new storefront location, Pluciennik found Kennett Square on Google Maps, and then found the Kennett Collaborative on FaceBook.

Pluciennik recalls, “My boyfriend and I came for a few weekends to check out the area and walk around and see what it was like, and I immediately fell in love. It reminded me of home because it’s small and close-knit.”

Pluciennik has always loved baking and, as the president of her high school French club, her first attempt at french baking came as a school assignment.

“That was the first time I had ever made a french macaron and that’s what

kick-started my love for French baking.” she said. She then expanded her love and skills for the cuisine at the Culinary Institute of America.

“I just love French pastries because they pose a lot of challenges,” she said. “None of the french pastries are easy to make, so for me that was a challenge to perfect them and have that skill.”

Lola Pâtisserie’s storefront is bright and welcoming, and was a DIY project for Pluciennik. She said, “It’s a classic French design that looks fresh and

modern, but still has a traditional French feel to it.”

The space was designed and renovated with help from her friends and local contractors, providing an elegant and minimalist space.

As a micro bakery with less than five employees, Pluciennik handles most of the work herself. From baking, to counter service to running the business, she is able to ensure her stock is made fresh daily without creating food waste.

“I would rather sell out than have to throw things away, or discount things

that are maybe a day old.

I’d rather everything be fresh, and everything be sold day-of, and then we’ll

start new the next day,” Pluciennik said. Some items, like cream puffs, can be prepared during the week with a refresh for sale day, and some must be made and sold same-day for best quality.

The canelé, a caramelized vanilla bean and rum cake, is one of these items best enjoyed right away.

The fastest seller is the macarons, but the pricing of each pastry is such that customers can leave with a bunch of treats without breaking the bank.

Pluciennik said, “A lot of people come in and want to try one of everything, which is why I price them the way that I do because I want people to be able to try each. A lot of my regulars are here almost every weekend, so I would rather have repeat customers than upcharge just because I can.”

Plucienniks favorite item is the seasonal frangipane tart that changes filling monthly. May’s tarte was a roasted strawberry rhubarb with almond cream. Stop in and let the pastries and ambiance of Lola Pâtisserie transport you to France.

Jennie Elisabeth Maule (nee Giovanna Zappone), of West Grove, and for 60 years a resident of Newtown Square, died on June 8, 2023 at Kendal at Longwood after a brief and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. She was 98. Beloved by her family and friends, she was the daughter of Anthony Zappone and Rosalina Rodia. Jennie was born in North Philadelphia and grew up in Southwest Philadelphia. She attended T.G. Morton School, Tilden Junior High School, and John Bartram Senior High School, and

JENNIE ELISABETH MAULE

graduated in 1943.

During her high school senior year, Jennie split her time between classes and employment with the U.S. military, which needed workers with World War II going on. She was employed by the U.S. Army at its Quartermaster Depot and by the U.S. Navy at its Material Redistribution Center. It was while working at the Quartermaster Depot that she met her future husband, Edward Randolph George Maule. They were married on April 27, 1946.

After her children were in school, Jennie returned to the working world. She worked part-time several years for Beth El Synagogue in Broomall, and on Sunday mornings for Grace Lutheran Church, also in Broomall. She was employed as a secretary

for a State Farm Insurance agent in Springfield from 1970 until she retired in 1985.

In addition to raising her children, maintaining a household for her family, and working various jobs, Jennie was a volunteer for St. Anastasia Roman Catholic Church. She typed the parish newsletter, was an adult advisor to the Catholic Youth Organization, and assisted with smaller tasks for the parish. She baked thousands of cupcakes for church events. She frequently supervised St. Anastasia School classrooms during lunchtime so the teachers could have their meal break. For decades, she was a promoter for De Sales Seminary Associates for the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales.

Jennie enjoyed sew-

ing and made dozens of dresses and other clothing for her daughters and others. She loved to cook, and she believed that letting someone be hungry, especially children, was the worst possible sin, and she often fed many neighborhood children. Jennie enjoyed gardening, growing vegetables and flowers, and was well known for the roses that she grew. She also enjoyed reading, walking, music, and handicrafts. She and her husband Eddie were frequent attendees at the Valley Forge Music Fair.

Jennie often accompanied her husband when his band, the Serenaders, played weddings, reunions, and other events. She was his “howdoes-this-sound?” advisor as he wrote, transposed, and practiced music at their home.

Jennie collected spoons, Wedgewood, and knickknacks, and her fondness for donkeys resulted in a large collection of donkey replicas. She started using desktop computers when in her 70s, and became an avid user of email, browsers, and Facebook, and became quite proficient with games such as Boggle and Spider Solitaire. She also was most interested in family history, not only sharing stories but eagerly learning about (and meeting on Facebook) newly discovered cousins here and in Italy.

Jennie was intellectually curious, often engaging in deep discussions with friends and family members. She was environmentally conscious, and recycled items long before it entered global consciousness. She lived her life according to her favorite saying, “God rules the world, but we keep interrupting,” and in her last days she worked with a musician to compose a song based on those words. She is survived by her

sons, Edward George, Jr. (Evaline Louise) of Clarksboro, N.J., and James Edward of Villanova; her daughters, Mary Teresa Maule Alft (Michael) of Lincoln University and Nancy Ann MauleMcNally (Mark O’Connor) of Mashpee, Mass.; grandchildren, Edward George III (Brooke), James Andrew (Dora), Rebecca Lynn Grammer (Derek), Cynthia Louise, Charles Edward (Karen), Sarah Margaret, Amelia Mikel Guest (Eric), and Mikaela Elisabeth Alft; great-grandchildren, Aristotle Leif (Aspen), Lucien Alexander, Hally Dora Rackham (Christopher), Madeleine Paige, Anastasia May Manes, Alexander James Manes, Henry Thomas, Emily Charlotte, and Isaac Mason Guest; numerous nephews, nieces, grandnephews, grandnieces; and hundreds of cousins.

Jennie was predeceased by her husband, Eddie, to whom she was married for 56 years, her parents, all of her and her husband’s brothers and sisters and

their spouses, her son-inlaw Brian McNally, her granddaughter Marysa Randolph Alft, and some of her nephews and nieces. Relatives and friends are invited to her viewing on Wednesday, June 14 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Donohue Funeral Home, 3300 West Chester Pike in Newtown Square, Pa. (610-353-6300). A Funeral Mass will take place on Thursday, June 15 at 10:30 a.m. at St. Anastasia Church, 3301 West Chester Pike in Newtown Square, Pa. Interment is at SS Peter and Paul Cemetery, Springfield, Pa. Jennie requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales (Oblate Development Fund, P.O. Box 87, Childs, Md. 21916-0087 or oblates.org/support-us (use Wilmington-Philadelphia link), or to the charity of your choice.

The family wishes to extend sincere gratitude to Kendal at Longwood and Willow Tree Hospice for their loving care for Jennie.

Bilingual Book Walk opens at Oxford Memorial Park

On May 25, the Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce and Oxford Library held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a Bilingual Book Walk in Oxford Memorial Park. Members of the community and local organizations were there to celebrate this wonderful addition to the park. The project was made possible by the support of the Borough of Oxford and the Rotary Club of Oxford.

The Book Walk adapts a children’s book to be displayed in a set of 16 large panels with each panel featuring a page of the story. This fun and educational activity promotes literacy and outdoor activity as the reader enjoys the story while strolling down a shady path in the park.

Syncretic Press, a publisher of award-winning children’s books in Spanish and English, was selected

to provide the titles.

The first book selection is Noah and His Red Cat/ Mateo y su gato rojo by Silvina Rocha. The featured book will be changed out every 60 days, as funding allows, and all books will have the text in both English and Spanish.

“This is such a wonderful addition to Oxford’s Memorial Park,” said Christine Grove, executive director of the Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce.

“The park, which is walkable from the downtown business district, is already a community hub with an inclusive playground, pavilion, and picnic tables.

The Oxford Library is an incredible community partner and this is just another example of their ongoing commitment to the community, both within their walls and outside.”
