The big news for residents is that taxes will not increase in East Marlborough Township next year.

Township manager Laurie Prysock announced details of the township’s 2018 budget at the Nov. 6 Board of Supervisors meeting, saying, “Our assessed market value increaed by about $4 million, to $703,524,000.

Our projected budget will be only a $16,000 increase over last year’s budget.

We are keeping a lid on

expenses, and realizing the additional value of the real estate because of rising market values, and also the new homes that are being built at Walnut Walk.”

The budget will be advertised and available by the end of the week for public inspection, Prysock added, and will be voted on at the Dec. 4 meeting.

The board also voted to replace a member of the Zoning Hearing Board after the death of a longtime member. Three candidates had stepped forward – Jane Continued on Page 3A

Township opts out of Pa. bill that grants municipalities legal gambling licenses

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer By a vote of three-tozero, the Kennett Township Board of Supervisors passed a resolution at its Nov. 1 meeting that effectively distances the township from House Bill 271 Creating Act 42, that grants up to four licenses in the Commonwealth

to operate legal gaming centers within a city, borough, incorporated town or township.

Signed into law on Oct. 30 by Gov. Wolf, the bill paves the way for as many as four municipalities in Pennsylvania to operate up to ten Category 4 slot machine licenses, allow some truck stops to operate video gaming terminals,

and permit airport passengers gamble on tablets. It also legalizes fantasy sports and online gambling from any computer, phone or tablet in the state, and permits the state lottery to sell tickets online. The bill, which passed in the House by a vote of 109-72, opens the door to the largest permitted expansions of gambling Continued on Page 3A

Burton’s Barber Shop celebrates its 125th anniversary The community is invited to stop by to enjoy catered food, beverages, and good conversation this Saturday, Nov. 11

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer “I have 62 years on this chair,” Bob Burton explains as he trims the hair of Mike Vining on a sunny afternoon in October. “My father had 65 years in the chair.” Burton pauses, as if contemplating the amount of time and work he and his father put into the family business through the years, and then continues:

“I started here in 1955, and I still like cutting hair. Time goes by fast when you’re having fun.”

A lot of fun has certainly been had at Burton’s Barber Shop at 105 West State Street in Kennett Square through the years. Vining is a regular here. There are a lot of regulars. Vining comes, first and foremost, for the haircut. But the good conversations that take place in Burton’s Barber

Shop are also a reason to return again and and again.

“I can’t imagine anyone not having a good time here,” Vining explains as Burton finishes up with his haircut.

“He has great interaction with all his customers.”

the names of Admiral Husband Kimmel and General Walter Short.

In the buildup to the 1941 attack that killed 2,402 Americans and wounded 1,282 others, both Kimmel and Short were aware of the possibility of an attack, but they were focused on potential sabotage from Japanese agents, not an aerial attack, Waltz said. Planes at the Pearl Harbor base had been grouped together to protect them from enemy agents, which ended up making the destruction from the air bombardment as extensive as it was.

In his extensive research on the attack, “I got a Ph.D. in Pearl Harbor,” Waltz said, smiling.

He cited a coded message that was intercepted by U.S. intelligence on the eve of the attack. The message was intended for the Japanese Embassy in the United States, “and it told them to start burning files,” Waltz said. “So there is an indication that Roosevelt knew of an impending attack, but that was not communicated to commanders in the field.”

As the attack stunned the world and Roosevelt sought the authority to declare war, Kimmel and Short were blamed for not being prepared, even though there was no way for them to have information about the impending attack. A quick investigation led by Roosevelt singled out the two commanders, who were placed on desk duty, condemned in the press, and retired within a few months.

Roosevelt passed away in 1945 before he could have possibly vindicate the two generals.

The families of both men carried the burden for decades. In the 1990s, Waltz met Ned Kimmel, the son of Admiral Kimmel, who lived in Wilmington and also worked at DuPont.

pardon was not achieved, by 2000, both the Senate and the House of Representatives had voted to vindicate the two commanders.

For his part, “How often do you get a chance to touch history?” Waltz said. “I feel blessed to have worked with the son of Admiral Kimmel to vindicate both the Admiral and the General. … The government had perpetuated a stain on their reputations, their honor and their character.”

In 1999, the Senate called for a reinstatement of the men’s ranks. “I look at that day, May 25, 1999, as one of

Armstrong celebrates one-year anniversary of Healing Heroes initiative for Veterans When Armstrong launched its latest community initiative, Healing Heroes, on Veteran’s Day of 2016, they had two goals in mind. The first goal was to raise enough funds to donate five service dogs to qualifying disabled veterans within communities they serve by Veteran’s Day of 2017. The second goal of Healing Heroes was to raise awareness of the needs of veterans.

Statistically, every day, twenty-two veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) commit suicide.

there has been significant improvement in the quality of their life and the suicide number has been zero.

Throughout the first year of Healing Heroes, Armstrong held various Healing Heroes fundraising and awareness events in each of their communities. As has always been the case in these communities, the support was overwhelming.

“Although we had high hopes for a successful program, we could not have anticipated quite how successful the program turned out to be,” stated Jeff A. Ross, Armstrong President. “Our original goal was to raise enough funds to donate five service

dogs to qualifying veterans across the Armstrong service footprint,” Ross continued, “With the incredible help of our communities and employees, we raised enough to donate eight service dogs; and we are currently working on number nine.”

The first two veteran and service dog pairings in the name of Armstrong are underway at Guardian Angels Medical Service Dogs facility in Williston, FL. The veterans will return home with their service dogs after a few weeks in training with their new companion.

To celebrate the oneyear anniversary of Healing Heroes, each of

the Armstrong offices will host various activities on Friday, Nov. 10.

Armstrong will be hosting a Healing Heroes Day celebration at the Rising Sun store at 122 S. Queen Street from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., including refreshments and a special gift to thank our veterans.

Armstrong provides television, high-speed internet and telephone service to customers in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Maryland, and as of the fourth quarter of 2016 is America’s 10th largest cable television provider, according to SNL Kagan.

Supervisor Eddie Caudill said, “Jane is very familiar with zoning issues in the township,” and nominated her, with a second from supervisor John Sarro.

Supervisor Bob Weer, Sr., commented, “I think this township needs some new blood and new ideas,” and nominated Jameson. That motion was not seconded.

In the final vote, the board elected Laslo to fill the vacancy immediately.

Board chairman Richard Hannum acknowledged that there may be more vacancies on the way for the zoning board, but felt that getting Laslo on board would be a good first step.

of any state in the U.S. The bill states that each Category 4 casino would be able to operate between 300 and 750 slot machines and eventually up to 50 table games, and that no Category 4 location can be located within 25 linear miles of an existing Category 1, 2 or 3 casino facility.

With the passage of a resolution, the township voted to opt out of being considered as a site for permitting Category 4 functions and facilities. However, after the vote was in, Board Chairman Scudder Stevens mulled over the decision, saying that opting out of consideration gives the township the time to address additional issues.

“It seems to me that there could be some economic benefit to the township for having one of these facilities,” he said. “I don’t know, because I don’t know enough about it, nor the details of how it would happen. I’m comfortable in supporting the ‘opt out’ [choice] right now, because I know that we can opt back into it at a later date, if it turns out to be an appropriate thing to do.

“If we don’t opt out of it now...we can’t opt out at a later time,” he added. “If we did not opt out, then I would be concerned that if we begin to put together an ordinance [that amends]

To date, Kennett Run Charities has distributed over $1 million in gift and in-kind donations to local groups, schools and organizations, an initiative that began in 1989, when Rotarian Michael R. Perna proposed to the Board of Directors of the Rotary

Club of Kennett Square that Rotary join with other Kennett area service clubs to host an event designed to accomplish three major goals: Achieve sustainable camaraderie among Kennett area service organizations and citizens; create goodwill with ethnically, economically, and occupationally diverse groups in the community; and establish a fundraising vehicle that will promote the general well-

being and civic pride.

The Kennett Run Charities Board is made up of volunteers from various Kennett Square service organizations including the Rotary Club of Kennett Square, the Rotary Club of Longwood, the Lions Club, the Kennett Area YMCA and various Kennett area citizens.

Much of the meeting was taken up with zoning issues, led by attorney John Jaros, who was representing several clients. First, he presented a proposal to use a three-acre parcel with a warehouse at 200 Gale Lane as a used car sales facility. The former Metal Sales and Service, Inc., site is a 24,000-square-foot warehouse that could be a branch of an Audi dealership that is on Route 202.

“They would use the lot for used-car sales and limited new-car storage,” Jaros told the board. There would be no major changes to the building, lighting or signage, and most of the activity would take place inside the building, not outside. There would be no outdoor banners or other promotional items, since sales would hae already been initiated by customers online, he said. “We

feel that this is an appropriate use in this area,” Jaros added.

The board seemed generally in favor of the use, pending further review.

Jaros said he would talk to his client and return with details if they decide to go forward with a formal conditional use hearing.

About an hour was spent discussing the proposed Longwood Preserve townhome development, which is planned for a 40-acre parcel between Schoolhouse Road and Walnut Road. Jaros, representing developer CJK Development, has been negotiating with the township over access roads to the proposed community.

On Nov. 6, he presented a revised placement of a connector road to the northwest of the community instead of to the south. The new placement got a positive

response from the board, and Hannum said, “This road to the west seems best suited for this passageway,” and Cuyler Walker said that the township planning commission also endorsed the new location. The board voted to approve the new plan, with Caudill voting against it.

The question of an access road and intersection on Schoolhouse Road, however, drew an extended and sometimes heated debate between Jaros and some people in the audience, including David Adamson, who owns a property near where the proposed road will connect.

Representatives of CJK were clearly angered by Adamson, who spoke about sight distances, possible solutions and the idea that he would sell the developer part of his property for $500,000.

There have been ongoing debates about the placement of the intersection on the road, which has a slight rise that impairs sight distance for motorists. Reducing that rise by regrading the road, as well as moving telephone poles, would be prohibitively expensive, Jaros said, and he proposed a three-way stop sign at the intersection. “Cars do speed on Schoolhouse Road, and placing a three-way stop there will slow that traffic down,” he said.

Hannum said that, “In several discussions, the concensus from our township engineer and others is that a three-way stop makes sense.”

Supervisor John Sarro suggested moving the proposed intersection a little farther south, to the top of the rise in the road, increasing visibility. There was a lengthy debate about

the pros and cons of that proposal.

Hannum steered the bristling comments, finally summing up by saying that moving the intersection south to the top of the rise seemed to be the best idea, but also leaving open the possibility of a stop sign.

“We’ve got to move forward with our plan,” Jaros said. “We will explore all our options, but if the problems are insurmountable, we’re back to square one.

You will probably see us at next month’s meeting,” he told the board. “These delays are causing us some concern, but we will look at all available options.”

our zoning and use codes, we would be ready in case somebody showed up and made an application.”

In other business, the supervisors, in preparation for the township to advertise and ultimately vote on laws governing the future of proposed medical marijuana growing and dispensary facilities in the township, voted 2-1 to amend the township’s zoning ordinance No. 272, governing these regulations to proclaim that any dispensary who sets up shop in the township can operate that facility no less than 250 feet -- measured in a straight line in all directions -- from the nearest point on the property line near a residentially-zoned property, or a parcel that contains a school or day care center.

Stevens and supervisor Whitney Hoffman voted in favor of regulating the setback distance at 250 feet, while supervisor Dr. Richard Leff voted not in favor.

In keeping with new state laws that now permit growing facilities and dispensary centers in the Commonwealth, reaching a vote on the setback distance was suggested by township solicitor David Sander, in order to allow the township to set its own setback laws, rather than the state’s.

Currently, the state requires a 1,000-foot setback for medical marijuana-growing facilities, but has no laws governing set back distances for a dispensary.

Showing a map of Kennett Township and the Kennett Borough to the supervisors detailing the available properties that would permit a dispensary, Township Manager Lisa Moore told the supervisors that if they were to agree to a 250foot setback, an additional 10 to 12 locations in the township could be used for the distribution of medical marijuana.

“We’re putting this ordinance in place so that we don’t have [a potential dispensary owner] come in and challenge it, because if they challenge it, they will attempt to make the [ordinances] less restrictive than we would,” Moore said. “We’re trying to put this in place so that we have regulations that we can live with, but also be fair.”

“That’s three and a third football fields,” Stevens said. “That’s a long distance. Unless [the state] thinks there’s going to be a sneak ISIS attack in the middle of the night, I don’t know why we need a secure building with one thousand feet completely surrounding it. It seems to me that’s really overdoing it.”

On June 29, the Pennsylvania State Department of Health granted permits to 27 medical marijuana holders in the Commonwealth -- including Chester County -- to create a total of 52 dispensaries. The permittees were given six months to become operational, before they can

begin dispensing medical marijuana. Each of the dispensary permit holders is eligible to open a total of three locations.

The decision was made on the heels of the passage of the Medical Marijuana Act on May 17, 2016, which is expected to be fully implemented in early 2018.

The implementation of the state’s Medical Marijuana Program will offer medical marijuana to patients who are under a physician’s care for the treatment of a serious medical condition, such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Autism, Cancer, Crohn’s Disease, Epilepsy, Glaucoma, HIV and AIDS, Huntington’s Disease, Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome, Intractable Seizures, Multiple Sclerosis, Neuropathies, Parkinson’s Disease, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, severe chronic or intractable pain and Sickle Cell Anemia.

During their discussion, the supervisors tossed out a few lengths in order to determine what would constitute a safe distance. Dr. Leff compared the operation of a medical marijuana dispensary to a pharmacy, which he said does not require setback distances.

He asked Kennett Township Police Chief Lydell Nolt if there is a police rationale that warrants a 1,000-foot setback for a dispensary.

“To my knowledge, there is not,” Leff said. “The issue is that we don’t have

any baseline or data that says there is an enhanced risk from these facilities, as opposed to a pharmacy.”

From a professional standpoint, Nolt said that he would have more of a safety concern with a dispensary than with a growing facility. A dispensary, he said, offers the finished product, while the growth facility does not.

“In all honesty, the [final, determined] footage will play very little into whether there is a potential criminal act there,” he said. “Two hundred to 500 feet, or even 1,000 feet, will not likely play into whether a criminal act occurs there.”

In partnership with the Longwood Fire Company, the Kennett Police Department is currently holding a holiday coat drive, with all coats being donated to Family Promise and the Kennett Food Cupboard.

Township residents can drop off coats at any of the several drop-off locations throughout the area.

Kennett Township residents can schedule a pick-up at their residence by calling the Kennett Township Police Department at 610-388-2874. The drive will continue through the remainder of the year.

On Dec. 14, the Kennett Township Police Department will join the Longwood Fire Company in the sponsorship of a blood donation drive, scheduled from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the township building on

801 Burrows Run Road. To determine qualification to give blood and to register, call the Longwood Fire Company at 610-388-6880.

Liz Swain was appointed as the township representative to the Kennett Area Park Authority.

Study: Avon Grove’s enrollment could grow slowly but steadily over the next five years

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer The Avon Grove School District could see slow but steady K-12 enrollment increases over a five-year period, according to the results of a study that was recently completed.

The results of the study were unveiled during an Oct. 26 school board meeting as the school

district continues to move toward a decision about how to address district-wide facilities needs.

George Sundell, a principal demographer with Cherry Hill, New Jersey-based Sundance Associates, led the presentation to the school board. Sundell explained that the firm uses the cohort survival methodology, which is

a method that is utilized on many enrollment studies for school districts. The cohort survival methodology charts the grade level progression primarily based on historic enrollments and birth rates and acceptable m o d i f i c a t i o n s through the certif ied demographer’s report.

The study also took into account charter,

private and parochial school status, as well as proposed housing starts in the district.

“I talked to some township officials and developers,” Sundell said. Sundell explained that if a township off icial identif ied proposed housing starts in the municipality, he then reached out to the developer to determine how many students

might be added as a result of the residential development.

According to Sundell, there is a slight increase in construction of new houses across the school district.

Franklin Township has 32 building lots at Lexington Point and four building lots at Highpointe Meadow.

New London Township has a 25-unit, singlefamily project that could be approved in the future, bringing the total of new singlefamily homes that could be available in the next few years to 57.

The study also looked at sales of existing homes in the district.

On most of the sales, the people moving in are younger and have more children than the people who are moving out, Sundell said. Overall, Avon Grove’s rate of growth is a little bit slower than the county’s. The youngest age groups in the district are growing, but they are increasing at smaller rates than other age groups.

The childbearing-age population decreased as an overall percent of the entire district population, while the middle age and senior age populations are increasing as an overall percentage of the entire district.

Sundell said that they looked at the number of births in the district and

then used a statistical formula to determine what percentage of students will actually end up in the Avon Grove School District’s schools.

What does all the data collected suggest for Avon Grove’s enrollment in the near future? The number of students enrolled in the district could climb, but in small, steady increments.

Avon Grove’s current enrollment is slightly more than 5,050 students, and that could climb to at least 5,161 students within f ive years. The adjusted projection is for the district’s enrollment to climb to 5,627 students by 2022.

Generally, Sundell said, projections are one-percent plus or minus, per year, so by the fifth year it is plus or minus of five percent, or about 25 students.

Sundell concluded his remarks by saying that a comprehensive written report of the enrollment study will soon be provided to the district.

“It is definitely good information to have,” said superintendent Dr. Christopher Marchese as he thanked Sundell for completing the enrollment study.

In praise of underserved heroes

Oxford Police Department activity report

Imagine in your mind’s eye the soldier.

The soldier is thousands of miles from home, thousands of miles from bedtime stories told to a son or daughter, and faced with the thought of spending this Thanksgiving not around a table of loved ones but surrounded by fellow soldiers in a mess hall. Time travels slowly. The tour of duty is still months from conclusion, and there are many sleepless nights the soldier spends listening to an endless soundtrack of doubt. What is my purpose? Is my choice an honorable one? Did my decision spring from a sense of selflessness, or was it made recklessly? Am I remembered back home? Do these men I serve with look at me as an equal, or am I nothing to them but a weak link in the cause of our mission? I have a son and a daughter back home, and Skype and emails and letters will never be the same as the precious moments I get to hear them breathe when they sleep.

Imagine the sun rising over Uruzgan Province in Afghanistan. Imagine the soldier reaching for weaponry. Imagine the far-off popping sound of gunfire, and the muffled voices of commands coming from officers. Imagine at this moment the soldier’s heart, bursting with fear and adrenalin, heading off to fight an invisible enemy, in a forgotten war.

Quietly, in a voice barely above a whisper, the soldier’s mouth forms the words, ‘Get me home.

I want to be home.’

Now, imagine that the soldier is a woman.

From the founding of our nation, women have protected America’s freedom, and the number of enlisted women in our nation’s military -- as well as the number of women veterans -- continues to climb steadily. Currently, women make up nearly 12 percent of our military and ten percent of all veterans are women. Sadly, however, many women veterans who return to civilian life struggle to assimilate back into the communities they left behind. A high percentage of them suffer from military sexual trauma, a diagnosis that serves as the cause of drug addiction, alcoholism and homelessness, and while the military benefits are available to them, women veterans remain historically reluctant to use them.

There is hope for these women, however, and some of it is happening right here in Chester County.

The Mary E. Walker House in Coatesville, opened in 2005, is a 30-bed transitional residence for women veterans who have found themselves in difficult life situations and without a home.

Currently one of the largest transitional residences in the country for women veterans, the Walker House and its staff offer a safe environment where women veterans can rebuild their lives, and do so in harmony with their peers. Since its beginning, the Walker House has provided pathways toward re-emergence for hundreds of women veterans.

The Coatesville VA Medical Center’s Women’s Health Program offers women veterans comprehensive primary and maternity care, and office-based gynecological services. Its POWER program offers residential treatment to eligible female Veterans with substance use disorders, mental health problems, and homelessness, and offers a wide variety of therapy groups, educational classes, and individual counseling.

As we celebrate this Veterans Day on Nov. 11, let us praise the women of our military who continue to sacrifice for our freedom, and follow up that praise with avenues of assistance.

County Commissioners boost funds to combat opioid crisis The Chester County Commissioners recently presented a check for $20,000 to Vince Brown, director of the county’s Department of Drug and Alcohol Services, to help fight the opioid and heroin crisis in Chester County.

The $20,000, which is part of the Commissioners’ appropriations funds, will support the county’s new Community Outreach and Prevention Education (COPE) initiative, borne out of the Chester County Overdose Prevention Task Force. COPE will provide one-to-one support for overdose survivors and their families and friends; provide overdose prevention information and outreach to first responders, hospital staff, family members and friends; and provide expedited admission into detox and a review of all treatment options for overdose survivors who agree to treatment.

The county’s Color 5K, being held in West Chester on Nov. 4, is a high-profile event that is helping raise awareness, as well as funds, to combat the addiction issue. Funds raised by this event will also support Chester County’s COPE program.

“The opioid and heroin crisis remains a very big concern that we, as a county, have been coop-

eratively addressing for some time,” said Chester County Commissioners’ chair Michelle Kichline.

“We’re talking to doctors about prescription practices, we’re undertaking law enforcement measures that make it harder to source the drugs in the county, we’re educating young people to try and prevent greater use in the future, and we’re working with emergency responders and hospitals to provide the right treatment options for overdose survivors.

“But the sad fact is that this awful epidemic is claiming more lives, and we have already surpassed our death toll for

last year,” Kichline continued. “Compared with other areas of the state or nation, Chester County may have fewer people abusing opioids and heroin, but deaths related to overdose are up 38 percent in Chester County for the first half of this year compared to 2016. And as of the end of September, 103 lives were lost to overdose here – deaths that most likely began with a prescription for opioid pain and ended with buying heroin on the street.

“Many people taking part in this year’s Color 5K have loved ones who are currently suffering from addiction, and they are run-

ning or walking to support them,” she added. “Others have lost family or friends to addiction, and they are in it to honor their memory. And still others are there because they have gone through the cycle of addiction and treatment and come out the other side as recovering addicts. Finally, there are those participating who just want to help raise funds for programs that will fight this scourge.”

The Chester County Color 5K will take place in Everhart Park in West Chester on Nov. 4.

Registration begins at 8 a.m., and the race begins at 9 a.m. Visit www.chesco. org/color5k.

Burton's...

Continued from Page 1A

and converse with a friend.

Burton’s Barber Shop is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year, and on Saturday, Nov. 11, the community is invited to stop by and celebrate with Burton and his team. There will be some catered food and beverages and lots of good conversation—of course.

Burton is happy to be sharing the anniversary with his customers and local residents.

“I’m a Kennett Square person,” he explained. “I’ve lived or worked on this street my whole life.”

Burton is now 80, and he is as enthusiastic as ever about the work. His days start as early as 4 a.m. or 5 a.m.

“I like coming into the barber shop now as much as I ever did,” Burton said. “I wake up in the morning and I’m ready to work.”

There has always been a Burton running the shop, starting with Amos Burton— Bob’s grandfather—who first opened Burton’s Barber Shop in 1892. The shop was at a different location then, but it was still on State Street—it has always been on State Street. In 1911, Harry “Dooney” Burton—Bob’s uncle—joined the business.

Then Joseph Malcolm “Bat” Burton—Bob’s father— started cutting hair in 1917.

“They all had nicknames back then,” Bob explains.

The shop has always been known as either Burton’s Barber Shop or Burton Brothers for a time when Bat and Dooney ran it together.

The consistency and history is part of the barber shop’s charm.

When Burton was a young child, he loved coming into the barber shop to watch his father work.

“I was always in there,”

he said, explaining that he would carefully hold the tools of the trade and pretend that he was giving a customer a haircut. His two older brothers never had any interest in the barber shop and pursued different careers, but Burton never wanted to do anything but take over the business.

Burton remembers a time when he was in high school and a guidance counselor called him into the office to discuss his plans after graduation. He told the guidance counselor that all he wanted to do was work at the barber shop with his father. Burton explained that the guidance counselor said, ‘All right, I don’t need to talk to you then. You’re good.’

Burton has seen many different changes in hairstyles since he earned his barber license and started working alongside his father. He went through the Beatlesinspired mop-top phase, the bowl-cuts, the crewcuts, the mullets, and the times when long hairstyles for men were popular.

“The styles always change,” Burton said, explaining that when he started in the business, men would get their hair trimmed every two weeks. But by the 1960s and 1970s, men were letting their hair grow much longer. It made it much more difficult for barber shops to stay in business, and many closed. Burton’s Barber Shop endured—and thrived, despite the cyclical changes in the business.

At one time, Burton’s had six chairs and would be busy throughout the week.

There was a time when men didn’t usually shave themselves—they would go to a barbershop for that service.

The shopkeepers in town would close up in the evening on Saturday night and

line up for trims and shaves so that they would be ready for Sunday. Burton quickly grew accustomed to the long, 13- or 14-hour days, just as his father did. The dedication of the owner always was an important part of the success of the shop.

One constant throughout Burton’s many years in the business is that the barbershop has always been a hotspot for sports talk, especially baseball. The shop is a shrine to local baseball history, featuring all kinds of memorabilia celebrating the National Pastime.

Bat Burton was one of the founders of the Kennett Old Timers Baseball Association back in the early 1970s, and Bob Burton has been the organization’s longtime president. The organization honors local baseball standouts. Burton has pictures of his grandfather, who played for the local Kennett and Mohicans teams. Amos Burton has the distinction of catching games that were pitched by two Major League Hall of Famers— Herb Pennock and Ed Walsh. Pennock, a Kennett Square native and a top pitcher on the Philadelphia Athletics, the Boston Red Sox, and the New York Yankees teams between 1912 and 1934, frequently visited his hometown and would bring Major League players with him—includ-

ing Babe Ruth. A picture of Pennock and Ruth hunting locally is proudly displayed on the wall of Burton’s Barber Shop. There is also a lot of memorabilia commemorating the Philadelphia Phillies’ world championship teams. Curt Schilling, a Major League pitcher who lived in the Kennett Square area during his time with the Philadelphia Phillies, sent Burton a jersey when he won the World Series with the Boston Red Sox and Arizona Diamondbacks. One jersey is prominently displayed in the shop. Schilling wrote, “To all you trash talkers at Burton’s…God Bless and All the Best.”

Dick Vermeil, the longtime NFL coach who guided the Philadelphia Eagles, St. Louis Rams, and Kansas City Chiefs during his career, is a regular customer of Burton’s.

“I’ve cut Dick’s hair for a long time,” Burton said, explaining that Vermeil is his favorite NFL football coach.

Burton knows a lot about sports, but more importantly he has an encyclopedic knowledge of his customers. He knows how they like their hair cut. He asks about their health. In short, he cares about his customers, which is why, for many families in the area, he has cut the hair of four generations of men. There are some instances where he knows of

families that have been coming to Burton’s Barber Shop for seven generations.

What has been the key of the success for Burton’s Barber Shop through the years?

“Good haircuts,” Burton replies.

“I won’t say my good personality,” he added with a laugh. “So it has to be good haircuts.”

Through the years, there have been many people who have worked alongside the Burtons to help make the business a success. There have really been too many to name, but Burton does mention Jimmy Pantano, who started cutting hair in the 1940s and was still working at the age of 92 many decades later. Don Gustin worked at the shop for nearly four decades. Karen Petersen has been working alongside Burton for the last 16 years, and has been indispensable.

A personal highlight for Burton was the 27 years that he spent cutting hair along-

side his father.

Then, of course, there are the customers, so many hundreds of people that he has become friends with through the years.

“I never wanted to be anything but a barber,” Burton said. “I have enjoyed being here and being around the people. If you’re in a business where you deal with people, you have to really like people. I like people.

You have to really like what you’re doing, and I do. I never thought of doing anything other than this.”

Unionville beats Glen Mills 42-8

Fariello scores 3 TDs in Indians’ playoff rout

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer There was a moment during the last play of the first half of last Friday’s opening round of the District 1, Class 5A playoff game that told the entire story of Unionville’s 42-8 victory over Glen Mills.

Up to that point, Glen Mills quarterback Tarik Bey had been pressured by a strong Indian defense that resulted in several incomplete passes and stalled drives, and with seconds remaining in the half and his team down 28-0, he tossed a desperate heave into the end zone. Several hands went up, but none came down with the ball, which was swatted away by Indian defenders as the half ended.

While Bey continued to run for his football life in the second half, however, another story had already began emerging in the form of Joe Fariello, a 5-foot-8, 170-pound backup junior running back who was helping to fill a hole left by the injured captain Jack Adams. Carrying the ball only four times in the game, Fariello scored rushing touchdowns on three of them, leading his team to victory and a second-round playoff matchup against Strath Haven on Nov. 10 on the Indians’ home turf. Seeded No. 11 in the postseason tournament, Strath Haven

defeated Bishop Shanahan 24-21 to advance to the second round..

“I saw the holes and I took my time. I was patient with the ball and I thank the offensive line for blocking really well,” Fariello said.

“With Jack out with an injury, it’s just my time to step up.”

“Unfortunately, we lost Jack [Adams] to injury last week, and Jack’s been the heart and soul and our intensity,” said Unionville head coach Pat Clark. “But Joe had some great runs last week. We have a lot of really good kids in your program – kids who really care -and Joe fits that mold. He’s given us everything he has, and he certainly played great tonight.”

For Unionville, now 10-1 on the season and the No. 3 seed in the playoffs, the scoring was fast and frequent, and it began on its first possession, when running back Dante Graham capped a seven-snap drive with a 16-yard run with 5:44 remaining in the first quarter. With 9:41 left in the first half, Fariello went 15 yards untouched into the end zone, which was quickly followed by a screen pass by quarterback Joe Zubillaga to wide receiver JT Hower that went for a 30-yard score, staking Unionville to a 21-0 lead.

Marple Newtown 42, Oxford 13

Weathers rolls up 246 rushing yards and four touchdowns in playoff game

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer For the Oxford Hornets, it will take some time for the sting to wear off from a 42-13 loss to Marple Newton in the opening round of the District 1 Class 5A playoffs last Friday night. But when it does, what should be left is an immense sense of pride.

The 2017 Hornets accomplished a lot on their way to six victories and the team’s first playoff berth in 24 years. There were dominant performances and dramatic last-minute wins.

The offense scored points and rolled up yards at an impressive rate, while, game after game, the defense toiled tirelessly in the trenches to make those points stand up.

The team made great strides in the third year under head coach Mike Means, earning a tenth seed in the District 1 playoffs.

Against seventh-seed Marple Newtown, the Hornets found themselves

trying to stop Marple Newtown’s high-powered offense, which is led by quarterback Anthony Paoletti and junior running back Marlon Weathers.

Weathers put his team on the board first, scoring from 12 yards out with 2:28 left to play in the first quarter. It was 6-0 when the point-after attempt failed.

The Hornets’ offense went three-and-out on its first three series, but running break Brandon Holz gave his team a spark when he took a handoff on the 34-yard line and bolted 48 yards to the 18 of Marple Newtown as the first quarter came to an end. On the next play, quarterback Chandler England threw a nice touchdown pass to wide receiver Brandon DeShields. Oxford held the lead, 7-6.

The rest of the second quarter belonged to Marple Newtown, as the team scored 29 unanswered points. Marple Newtown’s cause was helped when

the defense produced two turnovers—a fumble and an interception. The fumble recovery led to a 20-yard touchdown drive that was capped by a five-yard run by Weathers. Paoletti connected with wide

receiver Alden Mathes on the two-point conversion, making it 14-7.

Just a few minutes later, Marple Newtown capitalized after an interception, driving 41 yards on just two plays to make it 21-7. Weathers once

again scored, this time from 38 yards out.

With 2:47 seconds left to play in the second quarter, the home team extended its lead to 28-7 when Paoletti threw a 15-yard touchdown to wide receiver Dash

Dulgerian. After its defense forced Oxford to punt on the next series, Marple Newtown scored again as Paoletti and Mathes teamed up on a five-yard pass play, making it 35-7.

Oxford

Unionville

Tenacity is one reason why Oxford has transformed into a playoff team during the last three years, and the squad wasn’t about to simply mail it in during the second half. The Hornets played much better—on offense and defense.

The Hornets marched 80 yards on just four plays—a 34-yard catch by Holz, two consecutive carries by Holz that picked up 14 yards, and a 26-yard touchdown catch

by DeShields. The score was 35-13.

Oxford needed one more touchdown to make it game again. The defense did a much better job of controlling Paoletti and Weathers, keeping Marple Newtown off the scoreboard in the third quarter. Oxford’s offense put together another good drive, but two sacks by the Marple Newtown defense halted it before Oxford could cut into the lead.

With 9:01 left to play in the game, Weathers scored on a 21-yard touchdown run, making it 42-13 and effectively securing the victory for Marple Newtown. Weathers finished with 246 rushing yards and four touchdowns.

For the Hornets, the strong second half allowed England to pass for more than 100 yards for the game.

Holz finished with 139 rushing yards.

Marple Newtown now moves on to play Upper Moreland, a second seed, in the next round of the playoffs.

To contact Staff Writer Steven Hoffman, email editor@chestercounty.com.

With 1:38 left in the half, Fariello capped a three-snap, 48-yard drive with a 39-yard touchdown run to give the Indians a 28-0 lead at halftime.

Despite Adams being on the sideline, Unionville Coach Pat Clark’s roster is still teeming with play makers like Zubillaga, Graham and Hower. With 5:34 left in the third quarter, another one of them was heard from, as Alex Gorgone scored on a 21-yard touchdown pass by his quarterback partner Zubillaga that extended Unionville’s lead to 35-0.

While Clark’s offense continued to roll over a leaky Glen Mills defense, the Indians’ defense continued to hold off any drives that the visiting Bulls were able to mount. An interception of a Bey pass by Connor Schilling near midfield set up Fariello’s third TD of the game – a 50-yard run with 3:44 remaining in the third quarter that gave the Indians a 42-0 lead.

With 3:27 left in the game, Glen Mills finally touched the scoreboard on a four-yard carry

by Quadir Bollings, and then converted a two-point play.

Clark said that his team had reviewed a lot of game film on Glen Mills in preparation for the game.

“We knew that, defensively, they had been really good, and hadn’t given up many points in the last month,” he said. “We knew that they struggled to get in rhythm offensively, so we thought that if we could get some points on the board and make them play from behind, that would be advantageous to us. I was proud of the way our kids executed.”

Kennett High School attends Model UN conference On Oct. 28, 25 Model UN club members from Kennett High School attended OwlMUN, a Model UN conference sponsored by Temple University. Kennett students participated in a variety of activities as they debated world issues and crises. Best Delegate Gavel winners included Victoria Gonzalez and Julia Haenn as delegates from Malaysia

in UNEP, and Kevin Fiss as Antonio Narino on the Gran Colombia 1820 crisis committee.

Outstanding Honorable Mentions were awarded to Sebastian Kley, Arya Faghri, Peter Magasiny, Chris Johnson, and Ian Dargitz, who were recognized for the quality of their debate. Kennett’s Model UN advisor is social studies teacher Michael Waite.

Kennett High School recently announced that seniors Benjamin A. Jordan and Sarah E. Ploener have been recognized as National Merit Semifinalists in the 63rd annual National Merit Scholarship Program.

Benjamin and Sarah were among approximately 1.6 million juniors who entered the 2018 National Merit Program by taking the 2016 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) that served as an initial screen of program entrants.

In addition to being a member of the National Honor Society, Benjamin is a member of the Varsity Academic Team, Future Business Leaders of America, the Mock Trial

Team, Model UN, and the German activity club. He also plays doubles for the varsity tennis team.

Sarah plays clarinet in the marching band and jazz band, and is a member of the string ensemble. She is also a member of the Varsity Academic Team, the Demon Robotics Team, Model UN, and the Gender Sexuality Alliance.

“We are tremendously proud of Sarah and Benjamin for their accomplishments,” said Kennett High School Principal Dr. Jeremy Hritz.

“They are outstanding students who represent everything that is great about Kennett High School.”

The nationwide pool of semifinalists represents

less than one percent of high school seniors and includes the highest scoring entrants in each state. The number of semifinalists in each state is proportional to the state’s percentage of the national total of graduating seniors.

These students are eligible to continue in the program competition for some 7,500 National Merit Scholarship awards worth more than $33 million to be offered in the spring.

To advance to the finalist level and to be considered for a Merit Scholarship award, semif inalists must fulf ill several additional requirements.

These include an outstanding academic record, endorsement by the principal, and SAT

scores that confirm the preliminary results. The semifinalist and his or her counselor must submit a detailed scholarship application that includes the student’s essay and information about the student’s participation and leadership in school and community activities.

Kennett Square Life formerly Kennett Square Today

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The identity of a town can best be traced by looking at the diversity of its people, but there is something else that makes Kennett Square so special. It is a town of commerce and corporations, dotted by wide-open farmland and suburban communities, and accented with a beautiful village of stately old homes, and a place called State Street where the heart of the town beats the loudest. For the past few years, Kennett Square Today, and now Kennett Square Life, has captured that vibrancy within its pages, in a magazine uniquely targeted specifically to the more than 22,000 people who call Kennett Square their home. What we've discovered – in words and photographs – are profiles of people, events, businesses and trends.

9,400+ direct mail

We've also discovered a growing population and one of increasing affluence, where the median household income exceeds $65,000 annually, where 55% of families own their own home, and where the average value of a home is $370,000*.
