Avon Grove School District finalizes budget

$1.00

Poignant speeches highlight Avon Grove commencement

The $98.1 million spending plan includes a 3-percent tax increase By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer The Avon Grove School Board approved, by a 5-3 vote, a $98.1 million spending plan for 20192020 during a special meeting on June 10. There is a 3-percent tax increase to balance the budget. Overall, spending is increasing by $1,231,051, or about 1.27 percent, compared to the current fiscal year’s budget. The 2019-2020 budget totals $98,134,333. The projected expenditures for the 2019-2020 school year have actually declined by almost $500,000 since the school board adopted a proposed final budget two months ago. The drop in projected expenditures can be attributed to a series of position re-allocations and

retirements. The school district is phasing in the additional financing that will be needed for the construction of a new high school. Groundbreaking on the new school is expected to take place in 2020. The millage rate is increasing from 30.69 mills to 31.61 mills. For the average taxpayer in the school district, there will be an increase of $146.46 in the tax bill. Additionally, the school district is planning to utilize about $6.1 million of its fund balance to balance the 2019-2020 budget. The school board was predictably divided on the budget—the same thing happened last year at this time when the board was finalizing the spending plan for 2018-2019. Continued on Page 2A

Class Salutatorian Brendan Duff delivers his commencement address, “On Courage.”

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer For any 18-year-old who is chosen to deliver a commencement speech at his or her high school graduation, it is often a daunting task, a real knee-knocker of a moment in which to encapsulate four years into one coherent message. Now, try doing that in

front of a crowd of 5,000 at a basketball arena. That was just what Cassidy Miao, Brendan Duff, Michelle Pablo-Ortiz, Sahan Sundar and Tyler Curtis did, as their addresses at the Bob Carpenter Center on June 11 served as the highlight of commencement exercises for the 2019 graduates of Avon Grove High School.

The event, held in front of a packed house of family and friends, saw 438 graduates receive their diplomas, presented to them by Superintendent Dr. Christopher Marchese, School Board President Tracy Lisi, School Board Vice President Bill Wood and Senior Assistant Principal Dr. Natalie Ortega-Moran.

working—and reworking— the projected expenditures and revenues for the next fiscal year since late in 2018, and the work resulted in a smaller-than-projected tax increase to balance the spending plan. Initially, the projected budget for the next fiscal year was going to require a tax increase of about 2.27 percent, but that was reduced to about 2.07 percent by April when the school board approved a

proposed final budget. The tax increase was reduced even further by the time the final budget was adopted. Mark Tracy, the district’s business administrator, said that the final tax increase comes in at about 1.65 percent. The school board also unanimously set the millage rate at 30.9497 mills for the next fiscal year. For the average taxpayer in the school district, a 1.65 percent tax hike would

Whether they were wheeling a huge blanket box or carrying a tiny piece of their grandmother’s jewelry, the 3,000 or so people who came through Winterthur on June 18 had one thing in common. They were hoping they had a treasure. The “Antiques Roadshow” phenomenon, now in its 23rd season, came to Delaware for the first time on Tuesday, and the event was just what fans have come to expect since the show debuted in 1996. There were some 70 appraisers under tents outside and inside, greeting visitors who brought heirlooms and curiosities, fine antiques and yard-sale junk,

The Penn Township Board of Supervisors meeting on June 5 moved quickly because the supervisors only had a short agenda. About a dozen residents from the Roseview subdivision were on hand to ask for the township’s help in contacting PennDOT to make improvements at the intersection of Jenners Pond Road and Route 796. Stormwater has been ponding at the intersection and flowing into the development in large amounts. The residents’ concern is that, in a subdivision that is already having issues with the stormwater management, the increase in water

will overwhelm the system. The board of supervisors agreed to help with the situation. They also agreed to take a look at stormwater on Kelton Road, where there are complaints about increased run-off onto properties since the township made changes to the road edges by adding stone. The township takes stormwater management seriously—to the point that storm drains are painted to bring attention to the need to keep the water system clean. This year, two designs were selected for painting at storm drains. One, submitted by the Avon Grove Intermediate School Art Club, shows a grazing Continued on Page 3A

spent building the booths and working out the path visitors would take from the shuttle buses through the appraisal tents, and Tuesday was showtime. Guests arrived as early as 6:30 a.m., and the last appraisal was slated at around 7 p.m. Months ago, timed tickets were randomly given two at a time to 2,000 winners, insuring that the lines would not get too long and the wait wouldn’t be too arduous. Each visitor can bring up to two items for free, verbal appraisals. When all the appraisal booths are humming along, nearly 600 items per hour can be evaluated. Winterthur could not have been a more spectacular setting, and the Delaware visit wraps up the show’s five-city production tour of historic venues. While the appraisals were constantly going on, about 150 are usually recorded by the “Antiques Roadshow” crew in different ways – for-

In the case of big-value items spotted by the appraisers, the visitor and the appraiser meet in a studio space away from the crowd, and the history and value of the object is revealed only then. That creates the kind of gasping, overwhelmed reaction that

the show thrives on. The appraisers who appear on “Antiques Roadshow” are not paid. They get breakfast and lunch, but must pay their way to the tapings and receive no compensation. They do it for TV exposure and, basically, for fun. Walking through the crowd just after 8 a.m. was

Ken Farmer, an appraiser of decorative arts and silver. “I was trying to find out the value of a coin silver ladle that’s here, but I think I figured it out,” he said. “This woman brought in a ladle from Raleigh, N.C., and her mother had an appraisal done back in like 1970 for $500. Some of them can

bring $2,000 or $3,000 now. Overall, that kind of stuff has gone down in value, but this is a very obscure maker. And the Southern pantheon of collectors love stuff that’s obscure.” Over at the Prints & Posters appraisal table, Nicholas Lowry – who has been with “Antiques

Roadshow” for almost 23 years – was unmistakable in his distinctive plaid suit. “A lot of us have been doing this so long, and the best part of it is that we spend all day working together, we go around the country together for more than two decades. I’ve been doing this since I

that Auerbach, Charles Beatty, Dumont, and Weber have consistently voted against the budget, even though they are fully involved in the process and have had the opportunity to make specific suggestions about how to reduce the budget—but don’t. During a budget discussion in April, Wood said that if the four members are voting against the proposed final budget because of the size of the tax increase, they should

be offering suggestions on how to trim the budget, and offering details about what level of spending that they would be comfortable with so that the district can adopt a final budget. Wood pointed out that after spending many months during the last fiscal year on developing the budget for the 2018-2019 school year, the end result was still having Auerbach, Dumont, Beatty, and Weber opposing the plan at the end of the process.

Billig also expressed his frustration that the four board members consistently vote against issues without working with the rest of the board by providing specific improvements. “You’re telling us what you don’t want to do,” Billig said at the time. “What do you want to do? It’s easy to say no. It’s a lot harder to propose an alternative. ”It’s not just the other school board members who are upset that four members of the board refuse to support the annual budget. Several residents who spoke during public comment were critical of the school

board members who voted against the budget. There appears to be increasing public push back against the school board members for their opposition to the high school project and the annual budgets, as well as to other district initiatives. One woman said that a vote against the budget was a vote against children. Stephen Pye, a resident of Penn Township, thanked the administration and school board for the hard work on the school district budget. “I want to commend the administration and those members of the board that came up with this com-

prehensive and affordable solution,” said Pye. He added that voting “yes” for the budget ensures a continuing commitment to a high-quality educational program. Pye noted that Avon Grove offers a program that allows senior citizens to volunteer in the school district as a way to reduce their property tax obligations. It would take fewer than 20 volunteer hours, Pye said, to earn enough tax relief so that there would be a net zero increase in the property tax bill for the coming year. Like the previous speaker during public comment, Pye expressed his disappointment that some school board members refused to support the budget. “By voting no,” Pye said, “you are stating that you do not support a high-quality educational program or a senior tax relief program. For the past number of months, there have been board members who want to spread the message of fear regarding this budget, trying to justify their actions of voting no. I have met with many seniors over the past few months and I can tell you upon learning the true facts that this message is being rejected.”

Local News Landscapes3 garners national and regional awards

Penn Township... Continued from Page 1A

Staff members of Chester County’s Planning Commission were recently recognized by County Commissioners Michelle Kichline, Kathi Cozzone and Terence Farrell for their efforts that earned three awards for the County’s Landcapses3 comprehensive plan.

The Chester County Commissioners recognized the efforts of leadership, board members and staff of the Chester County Planning Commission at a recent public meeting, noting national and regional accolades for Landscapes3, Chester County’s newly adopted long-range comprehensive plan. Landscapes3 has received a national award from the American Planning Association (APA) County Planning Division and an Achievement Award in Planning from the National Association of Counties (NACo). Additionally, the Greater Valley Forge Transportation Management Association (GVFTMA) presented Chester County with the Public Leadership Award at its May annual meeting, based on the newly adopted Landscapes3 Plan and the County’s support of smart transportation options.

The APA presented Chester County with an Award of Excellence in the Comprehensive Plan – Large Jurisdiction category for Landscapes3 at the APA National Conference in San Francisco in mid-April. Chester County will receive recognition for the NACo Achievement Award at the NACo Conference being held in Las Vegas, Nev., in July. “It’s an honor to receive awards for our new comprehensive plan,” said Chester County Commissioners’ chair Michelle Kichline. “The Landscapes program has a history of winning awards at the national and regional levels and Landscapes3 continues that legacy. “Planning is a key part of everything we undertake for our residents, and these awards are a validation of the value of sound planning,” Commissioner Kichline added.

The committee recommended that residents of the Longwood Preserve, a 150-unit townhouse community that is located in East Marlborough Township, be designated to the Bancroft Elementary School effective July 1, 2019, instead of the Greenwood Elementary School, which is nearing its capacity. The board followed the recommendation and voted unanimously to change the elementary attendance area designation. The Kennett School Board will meet again on Monday, July 8 at 7 p.m. at the Mary D.

balance preservation and growth across the county’s landscapes in six goal areas: Preserve, Protect, Appreciate, Live, Prosper, and Connect. The plan recommits to core principles that will position the county and its municipalities for success, including resource preservation, revitalized urban and suburban centers, housing diversity, transportation choices, collaboration, and resiliency. “While the county’s name is on this award, the development of Landscapes3 was truly a collaborative effort that involved input from many residents, businesses, municipalities, and planning partners,” said Commissioner Kathi Cozzone. “A top priority of the update process was to engage with as many people as possible to create a plan that truly had countywide support. New methods for engaging the public were used which resulted in receiving input

ning process.” The Chester County Planning Commission board and staff began implementing the plan after the Chester County Commissioners adopted it in late November 2018. “We’re already hard at work implementing the plan with our partners,” said Chester County Planning Commission Board chairman Kevin Kerr. “Some of the projects that are already underway include the Return on Environment: The Economic Value of Protected Open Space study and a National Register Historic Resources Map.

horse, while the second shows a leaping fish in a stream. The goal is to prevent people from putting anything into the drains, such as motor oil or waste. “I thought they (the designs) were really good this year,” township manager Karen Versuk said. “Our storm drains are a lot more colorful and attractive than the average storm drain.” The board approved spending $11,120 to install a temporary entrance and parking lot off Route 796 for the new township sports park. At this point, supervisors are considering mowing a trail at the site to begin putting the park to use as they work on a design and funding. The board also approved spending $7,700 for a drainage project at the Red Rose Inn in an effort to keep the building dryer. The board voted to reject the only bid they received for this year’s road paving project in the township and re-advertise in hopes of receiving more bids. For residents connected to the sewer system, the news is not as bad as it could have been. In November, residents and township officials turned out in force at PUC public hearings on a rate increase request by Aqua Pennsylvania. At that time the original rate increase request was for an 84 percent hike. Instead, according to township supervisor Curtis Mason, the rate increase was limited to 34 percent. There will be no board of supervisors meeting in July but there will be plenty of activity in the township this month. The first Summer Movie Night at the township park was on June 14, and the first Summer Fun Day is set for Thursday, June 20 at 10 a.m. The event will feature the Chesapeake Mermaid.

nature of what’s valuable and what’s not is never predictable. Just after the movie Titanic came out, he said, prices for anything associated with the disaster skyrocketed, but since have normalized. “Cigars were very popular in the 1990s -- cigar memorabilia, posters, spittoons. People were spending a fortune on them for their humidor rooms,” he said. “Then smoking went out of fashion and you couldn’t give the pieces away. “If you buy what’s hot now, you’re going to eventually be disappointed. The standard mantra is that, when you’re collecting something, buy what you love because you’ll never lose.”

Longtime toy appraiser Noel Barrett.

Outside, at the Asian Arts booth, Lark Mason, Jr., was greeting guests with a handshake and a sincere request to share the story of the items they brought. A woman with a case full of Asian dolls in elaborate costumes detailed how her father would buy them for her mother after he had served in Asia in World War II. Mason nodded, explaining how dolls like the ones in the case were made to be bought by soldiers and visitors who were helping Japan restore its economy after the war. “They brought back mementoes like these,” he said. “But millions of these dolls came back with soldiers, and now the dolls are repositories of all those emotions. There’s very little monetary value to them. They are all about the emotions they carry.” Which was a nice way of telling someone that while their items are not valuable, they are obviously special to the owner. That speech gets repeated, in various ways, all day long at an “Antiques Roadshow” event. At the Photographs table, Daile Kaplan of Swann Auction Galleries looked at a sepia-toned photo of Civil War General Hooker and his staff taken in the winter of 1863 and announced that it was a 20th-century print from the original glass negative, made distinctive by the amount of detail captured in the image. But the photo was not rare and worth no more than $25, she said. “It’s a gelatin silver print. There are some condition issues, so it’s more of a historical artifact.” One woman was pulled

aside by a camera crew as she waited in line before the event. She had a 1930s guitar, and she answered a few quick questions about it before getting an appraisal. Larry Cavalieri and Frederick Oster examined the guitar carefully, peering inside the hollow body with a light, and pronounced it “a very nice guitar. It was at the low end of the highend models made by this company.” The woman was planning to give it to her 12-yearold son when he was ready to play guitar, and both appraisers approved of that idea. One of the highlights of “Antiques Roadshow” is the Feedback Booth, when people who have been through the appraisals give their thoughts.

Dinniman honors founder of West Grove Memorial Day parade Domenico Ruffini, an Italian immigrant who came to this country in pursuit of the American Dream and rose to be a respected member of the West Grove business and professional community, was recently honored by state Sen. Andy Dinniman and others. “Mr. Ruffini has given a lifetime of service to this community, and the impact of his work and contributions will not soon be forgotten,” Dinniman said. “In turn, we have a responsibility to recognize him and his family for all they have done for West Grove and the surrounding area.” Dinniman recently visited the Ruffini and his family to present him with a Senate citation in recognition of his contributions to the community, as well as a

new Pennsylvania state flag to be flown at the Avon Grove Veterans’ Memorial Plaza. Ruffini initiated the idea for the Avon Grove Veterans’ Memorial Plaza., located at the corner of East Evergreen Street and Exchange Place, the former site of the Roselyn Movie Theatre. Along with two other men, Mike Bove and Ron Edington, Ruffini formed a committee to organize the project, including obtaining necessary borough approvals and raising more than $100,000 for its completion. In addition, the committee, with Ruffini as chair, organized the annual Avon Grove Memorial Day Parade and ceremony. That community event has been held every year since the plaza was completed in 1998. Ruffini attended

each year and led the wreath-laying ceremony until health issues prevented his participation this year. His son, John, now serves as Avon Grove Memorial Committee chair. Born in 1927 in Musellaro, Italy, Ruffini was the eldest of five siblings in a family that farmed grapes and wine. At 18, he left to support his family by working the coal mines of Belgium. Later, he pursued careers in Canada in both construction and a shoe factory. It was there that he met and fell in love with his wife, Lillian. They married in 1953 and together built a family of three children and four grandchildren. After moving to West Grove, Ruffini worked in a General Motors Assembly Plant before becoming

interested in starting his own barbershop. He attended barber school in Philadelphia and obtained his license in 1958. The following year he started barbering and within

five years had built his own business, Ruffini’s Barber Shop, which is still operating today. According to relatives, Ruff ini had a special gift for bringing people together

and the shop serves as a community meeting place. In the 1980s, he was elected to West Grove Borough Council where he served the community for more than 20 years.

Unionville Elementary student meets with Senator about puppy mills

Clare Voss contacted Sen. Tom Killion about puppy mills in Pennsylvania.

Sen. Tom Killion visited Unionville Elementary School on June 6 to speak with students about Victoria’s Law, a Senate Bill (SB44) sponsored by Killion and Sen. Andrew Dinniman that discourages pet stores from using animals supplied by puppy mills. Victoria’s Law was created in honor of a German Shepherd who was rescued from a Pennsylvania puppy mill after 10 years of breeding. She became completely paralyzed as a result of a genetic,

neurological disorder called Degenerative Myelopathy, a disease she passed down to the estimated 150 to 200 puppies she produced while at the puppy mill. Clare Voss is a fourthgrade student at Unionville Elementary. She is passionate about helping animals and decided to work on a “passion project” in her class this year. Under the direction or her teacher, Chrissie Rissmiler, she reached out to LaMancha Animal Rescue in Coatesville and set up an interview with one of their

volunteers. Clare toured the facilities and learned about the rescue and the animals in need. This is where she learned about Victoria’s Law. Clare wanted to get involved. She researched the situation and learned about puppy mills (inhumane breeding facilities) and how they supply puppies to many pet stores in Pennsylvania. Clare sent Sen. Killion an email and she was invited to visit the Senator and share a slide show presentation she made about her visit

to LaMancha and her knowledge about Victoria’s Law. Sen. Killion was so impressed that he asked to speak with all of the fourth-grade students at Unionville Elementary about Victoria’s Law, and how a bill becomes a law. “I really enjoyed doing a passion project this school year,” Clare said. “I feel like I really made a difference. I’m glad that Victoria’s Law is going to be put into action. All dogs should be treated fairly. I hope this law helps to end puppy mills.”

George Fiore named new executive director of CCIU The Chester County Inter mediate Unit (CCIU) Board of Directors appointed Dr. George Fiore as its next executive director at a special Board meeting held on Wednesday, June 12 at the CCIU Educational Service Center in Downingtown. “We are turning a new page, and going into a new era for the IU,” said CCIU Board President Bonnie Wolff. “I am looking forward to working with Dr. Fiore, hearing about his plans for the future and his vision for the IU.” Fiore currently serves as superintendent of the Kutztown Area School District. He went to Kutztown in September 2016 from the Wilson School District in West Lawn, Pennsylvania, where he was the high school principal for four years. Prior to Wilson, Fiore was the founding headmaster of the Downingtown STEM Academy. “I am honored to have been selected by the Chester County Intermediate Unit Board of Directors to serve as executive director,” said Fiore. “This is truly a wonderful opportunity to serve the 86,000 students of the 12 public school districts, private schools and charter schools of Chester County.” Fiore will be replacing Dr. Joseph O’Brien, who is retiring from public

education at the end of July. “Dr. O’Brien’s retirement is bittersweet. He has been the anchor of the CCIU for the past 12 years,” said Wolff. “However, after 46 years in public service, he deserves the right to enjoy time with his family, to pursue his interests outside of work and to just relax. He will be missed incredibly.” O’Brien, who has headed the CCIU since 2007, is credited with growing services and launching new initiatives that increased CCIU revenues by $120 million, as its overall annual budget grew from $150 million to $270 million. “Going forward, it will be a team effort between Dr. Fiore and CCIU administrative leadership,” said Wolff. “I am confident the CCIU division directors will share their organizational knowledge with Dr. Fiore to ensure that his transition from superintendent to IU executive director is a smooth one with minimal disruption.” Fiore, who will begin his duties as CCIU executive director on August 12, echoed Wolff ’s sentiments. “I am equally excited to work alongside the wonderful team at the CCIU,” he said. “Dr. O’Brien is a leader whom I have admired,

and I look forward to continuing the great work he has done over the past 12 years.” Fiore’s instructional school district experience also includes nine years as a high school social studies teacher, dean of students, director of instructional technology, high school assistant principal and junior high school principal. Fiore’s notable accomplishments include increasing student achievement on state and national assessments, increasing equity of access for students in upper level courses such as

Advanced Placement while increasing student achievement, earning national recognition for

student achievement (US News & World Report Best High Schools, Washington Post Most Challenging High Schools, and Newsweek’s Beating the Odds: Top High Schools for Low-Income Students), earning Pennsylvania Department of Education Title I Distinguished Schools designation for student growth, implementing the Inter national B a c c a l a u r e a t e c u r r i c u l u m , and d eve l o p i n g , implementing and creating one of America’s best high schools. Furthermore, Dr. Fiore has worked collaboratively with various stakeholders to raise over $1 million through capital campaign fundraising and grant writing to support students, staff and the community.

Fiore earned his doctorate from Immaculata University in educational leadership and a master’s degree in classroom technology from Wilkes University. He ear ned his undergraduate bachelor of science degree in secondary education, concentration in social studies education and a minor in political science from Kutztown University. Fiore also serves as a part-time professor at Kutztown University, teaching graduate and doctoral education courses in the secondary education department as well as serving on several dissertation committees at Immaculata University. The CCIU Board of Directors contracted the New Jersey-based firm Judy Wilson, LLC to conduct the executive search.

Letter to the Editor

Regional policing is the right answer…

Please support the appeal by Oxford Lions Club

But fees on municipalities would certainly be fairer than the status quo when it comes to paying for policing services. Gov. Tom Wolf last week renewed his call for a fee to be charged to municipalities that rely exclusively on the State Police to provide policing services to residents. The fee would be charged to municipalities themselves, and would likely be based on population. Proponents of the policing fee see it as an issue of fairness—why should some municipalities shoulder the burden of providing very costly policing services to residents, while other municipalities don’t pay anything at all? A clear illustration of the unfairness of the current system can be seen right here in southern Chester County. Oxford Borough has a full-time police department and a high local tax rate to go along with it. The investment, while costly, is worthwhile. Towns without police departments certainly suffer the consequences of higher crime rates, more drug trafficking, and longer wait times for police to respond to emergency calls. Most of the municipalities surrounding Oxford Borough don’t have police departments. When an emergency call comes into the 911 system, the closest police officers are dispatched to respond to emergency calls. So if a call comes in for an incident at Oxford Area High School, for example, it might be Oxford Borough police officers responding—even though the high school is in East Nottingham Township, which contributes nothing for those policing services. Wolf’s support for fees for municipalities that rely exclusively on the State Police would at least be a step in the right direction as far as the unfairness of the current system. Legislation in Harrisburg has been introduced that would establish fees on a sliding scale, with larger municipalities paying more per person than smaller municipalities would. These kinds of fees have been talked about for quite awhile, and state lawmakers have never come close to passing any legislation. Although the fees seem to be gaining some momentum and support, it is still very unlikely that state lawmakers will pass the legislation this year. Pennsylvanians, especially Pennsylvania lawmakers, love the status quo. But the costs of providing police services at the state level is starting to have a bigger impact on the annual state budget, and that raises the possibility of changes in the future. The state relies heavily on the Motor License fund, which is funded through transportation user fees like gas taxes and license and registration fees, to help offset the costs of paying for the State Police operations. As policing services take up more and more of that fund, it leaves less in the fund for highway construction and safety projects. So roads and bridges remain in terrible shape. A lot of people would be unhappy if fees are charged to municipalities because those municipalities, one way or another, will pass the costs on to residents. That’s understandable. But we think that implementing the fees would at least produce the positive result of being fairer to all Pennsylvania taxpayers. Additionally, the fees might be a way to encourage more municipalities to engage in regional policing. A terrific illustration of how regional policing could, and should, work, is on display right here in southern Chester County. The Southern Chester County Regional Police Department, under the direction of Police Chief Gerald Simpson and Deputy Police Chief Michael King, recently added Avondale Borough to its coverage area through an agreement to provide 24/7 policing services for the next 18 months to Avondale Borough’s residents for $90,000. Under Simpson and King’s leadership, the regional police department model has been wildly successful here in southern Chester County—quality police work and a higher level of training and professionalism have resulted. In a world where drugs can ravage a community and school shootings take place today, tomorrow, the next day, and the day after that, quality policing isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity. And those services must be paid for. Regional policing is the right answer, and if it takes fees to push some municipalities to finally arrive at the responsible answer, then so be it. Too many local officials have been shirking the responsibility to pay for policing services for too long.

Letter to the Editor: This letter is intended to clarify my previous letter that was published in the June 5, 2019 edition of the Chester County Press, which inadvertently implied

that collections were denied in Oxford. That is not the case at all; the issue is that the Oxford Lions Club application for participating as a food vendor in the Freedom Fest at Nottingham Park was denied by the Chester

County Parks & Recreation Administration. As previously stated, we have participated and served area residents at this event for the past 15 years. We would encourage residents to support our appeal

by calling the administration at 610-344-6415 and add their voices to our cause. Thanks to all. Dudley Cummings and any and all Lions Club members

The key to representative democracy? Persuasion. By Lee H. Hamilton I am lucky enough these days to be in regular touch with young people — students — who are interested in public service. I find hope in their quality, energy, and motivation, and they press me to think more deeply about what it takes to pursue a life in the public realm. In trying to answer that question, I’ve come to believe that at the heart of it all — indeed, at the heart of representative democracy itself — is persuasion. If you’re trying to improve society you have to persuade other people: about issues, facts, proposals, legislation, strategy, tactics... In fact, the only way to get things done is to convince other people to join in. If we can’t persuade them, we can’t move forward. I was seated once in a private airport terminal, waiting for a plane to fly me home to Indiana. Someone walked in, and I looked up to find Martin Luther King, Jr. He was alone. This was a bit before the peak of his celebrity, but most Americans would have recognized him even then. We chatted for a long time as we waited, and one

of the things that struck me most deeply was that he was a minister of the gospel and a civil rights leader, I was a politician, yet we shared a deep and abiding interest in the question of how you persuade people to your side. I saw the same quality in another masterful public figure, Lyndon Johnson. Not only was he a remarkably persuasive politician himself — he always had on his mind, ‘What do I have to do by word or by deed to get your support?’ — but he was a student of how effective or ineffective others were. From time to time, he’d have members of his cabinet speak to a group of assembled members of Congress, sometimes just a small group of us, sometimes a large roomful. He would take a seat in the front row, turn his chair around so that his back was to the speaker, and look out over the room. It was clear he wasn’t interested in what they were saying; he was interested in the impact of what they said. In other words, he was interested in whether or not they were persuasive. In a democracy like ours, you need help from allies, partners, friends, sometimes even antagonists

— because you’re trying to find common ground on a particular issue and build coalitions of support. This means that you have to convince others to do something for your benefit, which is difficult. Your chances are best when you can convince them that it’s in their best interest. To do so, you have to listen carefully, learn what’s important to them, and appeal to their values and interests. You also have to gain their trust, because if they think you’re a liar, you’re not going to persuade them to your side. This, in turn, requires several things. Above all, you have to know what you’re talking about and master the facts. You need to study the issue at hand, so that you’re familiar with the arguments on all sides; being well-informed boosts your credibility. And I was struck, when I was in Congress, by the tactics members used to appeal to people who often had different backgrounds, priorities and perspectives: they mentioned precedents, sought to connect to their listeners’ core values, compared their proposals to the alternatives, cited experts, and knew how much public

support or major interestgroup support they had. This is how we decide things in this country: we listen, we argue, we cajole, we compromise, and we persuade. The whole process can get untidy, and it’s tough work in today’s polarized, hyper-partisan environment. But as we continue to try to answer Abraham Lincoln’s 1863 question — whether a nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure — here’s what I tell the students thinking of going into public service: that it is an extraordinary privilege to be part of a system, representative democracy, that gives you the opportunity to persuade others, and by doing so to chart the future course. Lee Hamilton is a Senior Advisor for the Indiana University Center on Representative Government; a Distinguished Scholar at the IU Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies; and a Professor of Practice at the IU O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years.

Pa. House votes to lower health insurance costs House bill would establish state-based exchange and reinsurance program Pennsylvanians who buy their health insurance on the federal exchange can expect lower prices if a bill passed by the House today becomes law. House Bill 3, sponsored by House Majority Leader Bryan Cutler (R-Lancaster), would establish a statebased health insurance exchange and reinsurance program. “I want to thank my colleagues on both sides of the aisle who recognized that saving Pennsylvanians’ money is not a political issue,” Cutler said. “A dozen states are already running their own exchanges

rather than participating in the federal healthcare. gov, and residents in those states are paying less than we are. It’s time we joined in those savings.” The Trump administration opened additional opportunities for states to create exchanges unique to the challenges and needs facing individual states through an executive order on President Donald Trump’s first day in office. The cost-saving plan is also endorsed by Gov. Tom Wolf. “The backing of both the federal and state administrations speak to why this is the right move for consumers in our

Commonwealth,” Cutler added. “While there are continuing debates over the effectiveness of the Affordable Care Act at the federal level and in the courts, we should still work to make the system as responsible as possible for Pennsylvania.” The state exchange makes no changes to the requirements, pre-existing conditions or any other enrollment requirements that exist at the federal level, and if the Affordable Care Act law changes or is eliminated, the Pennsylvania exchange would reflect those changes. The state reinsur-

ance program would drive down costs for all Pennsylvanians as insurers will have a better idea of which customers carry the highest costs. The return in other states has proven to be lower premiums for all customers. Currently, more than 400,000 Pennsylvanians buy their health insurance through healthcare.gov at a cost of $85 million to $90 million to the state in fees to run the site. Under this plan, those fees would be kept in Pennsylvania and the state Insurance Department would run the exchange. The bill now advances to the Senate for further consideration.

Kennett Police report phony calls coming from their number Fraudulent phone calls that appear to be coming from the Kennett Square Police Department prompted the department to issue a community advisory on June 7. Police have received several reports from residents regarding suspicious calls they have received from the Kennett Police

phone number. Residents have reported receiving calls informing them of issues with their driver’s licenses, credit cards and IRS issues. Threats of arrest have been made if personal information such as dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and bank account information are not provided. In

certain reports, residents have reported receiving calls related to relatives who have been arrested and need to post bail. The Kennett Square Police Department reminded all residents not to provide any personal information when receiving these calls. Residents who have

received similar calls and who have provided personal information are urged to check and monitor their credit reports and contact their crediting agencies. In the event fraudulent activities occur as a result, victims can make a report with their local governing police departments.

Local News New Garden board votes to replace two township bridges in 2020 By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer After a bit of financial wrangling at their June 17 meeting, the New Garden Board of Supervisors voted to replace two New Garden Township bridges in 2020 – one on Bancroft Road and the other on Egypt Run Road. The cost estimates to replace the bridges was supplied by Contech Engineered Solutions of Hanover, Md. on June 3, who projected that the cost to replace the 14-footlong structure on Bancroft Road as a pre-fabricated concrete structure will total $200,000, while the estimate to do the same for the 14-foot-long bridge on Egypt Run Road will be $175,000. Currently, there is $240,000 in the town-

ship’s capital fund for bridge replacement this year, not enough to pay for the $375,000 needed to replace both bridges this year. While board chairman Steve Allaband said that the replacement of the Bancroft Road bridge is the most pressing of the two projects, he recommended that the township bid out both projects next January for a projected June 2020 construction. Looking at the township’s numbers, Allaband said that beginning next year, the $240,000 designated for bridge repair will be carried over, as well as an additional $180,000 that is now funding the townships’ capital fund, which will also be carried over to next year. Added up, Allaband said that would make $420,000 available, more than enough to replace both

bridges next year. The board agreed to the recommendation by a vote of 4-0. In other township business, the board gave the go-ahead to the start of the New Garden Township Park Phase II Project, which is expected to begin in July and be completed by November. The project was awarded to CH+N Construction, Inc. of Lancaster, Pa., and was estimated at $1,283,221. Phase II expansion will include an amphitheater that will be used for community concerts and theatrical events, a multipurpose athletic field, basketball courts, a sledding hill, a playground, a pavilion, passive recreation areas, extended walking and running trails, a rain garden and the construction of a parking lot. The price

tag of the expansion will be offset by $400,000 in state and county grants that will be applied to the cost. The board also conducted a conditional use hearing involving Basciani Brothers Properties’ application to open a barbershop on 1153 Newark Road in Toughkenamon, that is projected to conduct business in an existing 2,400-squarefoot stone building on the property. The hearing also heard the testimony of barber Jose Lopez, who told the board that he envisions the business being housed on one floor, with two to three hair-cutting stations, the eventual hiring of four to five barbers, and as many as 10 parking spots for customers, a configuration that Basciani Brothers Properties agreed to develop plans for. The owner of

the property also agreed to install a sidewalk near the business – in keeping with the plans to revitalize the Village of Toughkenamon, which calls for the inclusion of sidewalks – and secure necessary permits from the township that would be needed for renovation. Lopez, who has been barbering in Kennett Square for the last 11 years, told the board that he intends to name the business “Pepe’s Barbershop, LLC,” and said that the hours of operation are tentatively scheduled to be 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The board told Michael and Joseph Basciani and Lopez that it will render its decision on the application by its next meeting in July. Township engineer Mark Harmon gave the board an

update of the township’s annual Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System report, in compliance with Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection permits, requirements and standards. The report is scheduled to be included on the township’s website by September. The board also approved Resolution No. 814 to dispose of old township administrative documents and municipal records. The township will sponsor its Wine and Wheels Summer Concert Series event on June 19, beginning at 6 p.m. at the New Garden Township Park, and its next Tuesday Family Fun Night in the township park on July 9.

Local News Avon Grove... Continued from Page 1A

In his opening remarks, Principal Scott DeShong, he introduced the 10 graduates who will be entering into the nation’s military branches, and thanked them for their future service. He said that the Class of 2019 will send 88 percent of its graduates to college at over 100 colleges and universities, and that this year’s graduating class has received over $2.7 million in scholarships and grants. In her address, “Smells like home,” senior speaker Cassidy Miao told the audience that the sense of smell “can awaken so many hidden memories within our brains,” and said to her fellow graduates that it will be the permeating scent of nearby mushroom farms that will be associated with their four years at Avon Grove. “When you played outside with your neighborhood friends as a kid, when you rode the hot sticky bus home from school, when you traveled anywhere within Chester County, that same nauseating fragrance follows you, as it follows you now,” Miao said. “It follows you as a friend, a fellow student, a fellow

athlete, a musician, environmentalist, writer, robotics engineer, dreamer.” While many of her fellow graduates will soon be departing for colleges all across the country, “I hope whenever you return back here you welcome the ripe, earthy smell of our childhood,” Miao said. “I hope it smells like home.” Salutatorian Brendan Duff’s address, “On Courage,” discussed the definition – and application – of courage, which he described as “the mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear or difficulty.” “What I like about this definition is that it shows the difference between courage and fearlessness,” Duff said. “Fearlessness is the absence of fear, but courage is the ability to overcome it.” At the conclusion of his address, Duff encouraged his fellow graduates to be courageous in their lives, to try new things, make difficult decisions and take calculated risks. “In 1947, former President Harry Truman wrote, ‘America was not built on fear,” he said. “America was built one courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination to do

the job at hand.’ Take this determination with you into college and the next stage in your lives.” “Leaving your footprints,” the address given by Valedictorian Sahana Sundar, encouraged her fellow graduates to consider the large impact they will have on the world and others. She encouraged them to don’t be afraid to make mistakes and accept them, learn from them and move on. “The second thing I have to say ties in a lot with the first: Don’t be afraid to ask for help,” Sundar said. “Everyone needs help sometimes, and there’s no shame in accepting support from others. In fact, our support networks can lift us up and help us step forward into the future.” Sundar concluded her address by telling the graduates to believe in themselves, and to erase self-doubt. “We all have the power to change the world – to leave our footprints – as long as we believe in ourselves and step forward with confidence,” she said. Miao, Duff and Sundar were joined by Senior Speaker Pablo-Ortiz, who

delivered “We are the future,” and Senior Class President Curtis, who delivered “Become your future.” The event also included performances of “Pomp and Circumstance” and “Alamo March” by the Avon Grove High School Graduation Band, a rendition of “Omnia Sol” by the Senior Ensemble and the Alma Mater by the Avon Grove High School Golden Chorale.

Six Oxford standout athletes sign letters of intent to play collegiate sports By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer Cameron Baughman, Sam Blevins, Nate Ferro, Xavier Myers, Alex Schoessler, and Alijah Thomas all signed letters of intent to play their respective sports at the collegiate level during a signing ceremony at Oxford Area High School on June 5. All six athletes had individual successes, but also helped their teams to strong performances during their careers at Oxford. Many of their family and friends, as well as coaches and Oxford athletic director Michael Price, turned out to celebrate their accomplishments and contributions to the school at the signing ceremony. Schoessler and Baughman were teammates on the Oxford baseball team that compiled an 11-8 record and captured the Ches-Mont League’s American Division title in 2019. Baughman was a first baseman, outfielder, and pitcher for Oxford. He is heading to Penn State Brandywine in the fall. He also played soccer for four years in high school. “Soccer was fun,” Baughman said, “but I really like the mental aspect of baseball.” Baughman said that his personal highlights while playing for the Oxford’s baseball team included the team’s American Division title and a game against Great Valley during his senior season when the Hornets rallied from a 9-0 deficit to win the game,

14-9. He’s looking forward to continuing to play baseball in college. “I’d like to continue to improve and keep playing for as long as I can,” Baughman said. Schoessler will be studying and playing baseball at Swarthmore College. He was a pitcher, a third baseman and a catcher for Oxford, earning Second Team All-League honors during his senior year. During his junior year, he caught every inning of every game. “I’ve always enjoyed the sport,” Schoessler said, adding that his father was a catcher. He took to the extraordinarily demanding position naturally. Thomas is an extremely talented athlete who will be playing football and studying at Lincoln University in the fall. In addition to playing football, he was a standout in track & field, where he ran the 4 X 100 relay and competed in the triple jump and long jump. He was an outside linebacker and a wide receiver for Oxford’s football team that enjoyed a lot of success in recent years. Thomas said that he prefers playing at the linebacker position because of his ability to read what the offense is doing. He is looking forward to the opportunity to play football and study at Lincoln University. “It’s the number-one HBCU (historically black college and university) for criminal justice,” Thomas said, explaining that

he would like to be either a parole officer or a drug analyst after he graduates. Myers will be playing football at Wesley College. What is particularly amazing about that is he only started playing football two years ago, after Oxford head coach Mike Means asked him if he would join the team because of his athletic ability. Up to that point, Myers was a talented soccer player. His family lived in France, where soccer is very popular. His athletic skills translated from the soccer field to the football field, but the sports are so different, Myers said, that he had a lot to learn. He credited his coaches and teammates with helping him develop as a football player so quickly. By his senior season, he was an All-League selection as a linebacker.

He’s very thankful for the opportunity to play at the collegiate level. “It’s amazing,” Myers said. “It’s awesome. I’m blessed. I really have to thank the coaches and my teammates for how they helped me.” He’s looking forward to the challenge of playing at the next level. “I’d like to play college football and have a good college career,” Myers explained. “I have a lot to learn and a lot to improve on. I just want to play football. I love the game.” Blevins had the good fortune of being able to choose which sport he wanted to compete in at college—football or wrestling. In high school, he was a standout in both, earning First Team All-Ches-Mont League honors as a center on the football field, while also qualifying for states as a

heavyweight wrestler. “Choosing between football and wrestling was the hardest part for me,” Blevins explained. He decided that wrestling at Messiah College was the best fit for him. He really liked meeting with the wrestling coaches at Messiah College. “They made me feel most at home,” Blevins said, explaining that the opportunity to wrestle and to take part in the academic program at Messiah College was the best path forward for him. “It will be a challenge mentally, physically, and spiritually,” Blevins said. “And that is important to me.” Blevins said that one reason that he decided to wrestle at the collegiate level is because it’s an individual sport where hard work is rewarded. “It’s one versus one,” he explained, “and you really get what you put into it.”

Ferro, a team leader on the Oxford football squad, is going to be playing football at Lebanon Valley College. He started playing football at the age of four and has always loved the sport. He earned a spot on the varsity squad as a sophomore, and quickly developed into a team leader. He played safety for the Hornets. His favorite moment as a Hornet came when he was a starter as a sophomore. He said that his greatest strength as a football player is playing the game without fear. “I am going as hard as I can all the time,” he explained. Price thanked all the student-athletes for the time and commitment that they put in to playing sports while at Oxford. To contact Staff Writer Steven Hoffman, email editor@chestercounty.com.

Antique Treasure Trail to run five miles along Route 1 By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer For three weeks every year, Lisa Vonderstruck, owner of Brandywine View Antiques in Chadds Ford, makes the seven-hour drive to Brimfield, Mass., to attend the week-long Brimfield Antique Show, where 200,000 buyers and 20,000 vendors turn the quiet town into an antique lover’s paradise. In 2015 and 2016, Vonderstruck brought that idea to Chester County, and her Massive Barn Market, held at the

Those attending the two-day event will also be invited to stop at Brandywine View Antiques.

Chadds Ford Historical Society g rounds, attracted dozens of vendors, overflow crowds and drew the Route 1-Route 100 intersection nearly to a close. On June 22 and 23, Vonderstr uck will be joined by several other shop owners and vendors to turn a fivemile stretch of Route 1 into a “Brimfield South” corridor of history, curiosity and antiques. The First Annual Chadds Ford Treasure Trail will allow customers to shop at four locations along Route

The First Annual Chadds Ford Treasure Trail will take place on June 22 and 23 along a five-mile stretch of Route 1.

1 – Brandywine View Antiques, the Chadds Ford Barn Shops, the Pennsbur y-Chadds Ford Antique Mall and the Brandywine River Antiques Market. Along the route, they’ll be able to enjoy the inventory of more than 200 vendors at 10 shops, and take a breather at two cafes. Vo n d e r s t r u c k organized the event in collaboration with Barbara Moore of Chadds Ford Gallery, Michael McLimans of Brandywine River Antiques, and Bri Brent of Chadds Ford Barn Shops. “I’ve seen how the wonderful town of Brimf ield essentially closes down three times a year, turning itself over to the antiques fair,” Vonderstruck said, “so I organized the Massive Barn Market and I shut down Chadds Ford along Route 1 a few years ago. This year, I figured that if I got a few other shops involved, maybe the

concept would work a little bit better.” If the first Antique Treasure Trail is successful, Vonderstruck said she would like to schedule a follow-up event in the fall, “and then continue to grow it, with restaurants, museums and pop-up locations along Route 1,” she said. “It doesn’t matter where you go along the trail, or where you start. The goal is to explore, have fun, and maybe pick up a sweet treasure. I hope everyone gets an opportunity to find that special item they are looking for.” The First Annual Chadds Ford Treasure Trail begins at 10 a.m., rain or shine.

A rare chance to see N.C. Wyeth works for sale By John Chambless Staff Writer For anyone who admires the art of N.C. Wyeth, the new show of paintings at the Somerville Manning Gallery – available for sale or just to be admired – is a chance to revel in the details that aren’t evident in reproductions of Wyeth’s works. Coinciding with the major retrospective of N.C.’s works at the Brandywine River Museum of Art, the gallery is spotlighting some works on loan from the Brandywine’s collection – “Still Life With Onions” (1931) and “Herring Gut” (1932) among them. They take on special resonance because they’re flanked by works you could theoretically own. While certainly beyond the reach of nearly everyone’s budget, it’s a thrill to see works that have been seen by only a few people. There’s the splendid summer light in “Hazy

Afternoon” (1908/1911), showing Chadds Ford in the valley; and the view of a cool, shadowy riverbank in an untitled Chadds Ford landscape from 1903. There’s an autumn view of Wyeth’s white barn in 1917, painted from the hillside above his home. And you can admire the tiny details in “The Thanksgiving Feast,” a mural commission from 1940. Among the major works, you’ll sense the serene grace of Wyeth’s illustrations for “The

Lost Boy” that appeared in Harper’s Monthly in 1913. But there’s equal magic in the untitled view of a pond and hillside that has a quiet elegance and masterfully painted reflection in the water. There are key moments of action and drama in Wyeth’s illustrations for “The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come” (1931), showing two men locked in a life-or-death struggle; and the thrilling drop of horse and rider in “The Horse Fell With His Rider to the Bottom of

‘Boulders’ (circa 1911-1912).

the Cliff,” an illustration from 1927. There’s a fascinating, once-in-a-lifetime chance to see an oil of fairies hovering over a pond that’s on loan from N.C.’s grandson, Jamie Wyeth. It’s a beguiling puzzle. In any case, such a grouping of original N.C.

Wyeth paintings – for sale and on loan – is not likely to happen again, so don’t miss this chance to experience these paintings before they are put away in some lucky collector’s home. This show is a magical opportunity. The exhibition continues through Aug.

24. The Somerville Manning Gallery is at 101 Stone Block Row, Greenville, Del. For more information, call 302652-0271 or visit www. somervillemanning.com. To contact Staff Writer John Chambless, email jchambless@ chestercounty.com.

Richard A. Petrarca, Sr., 73, of West Grove, died on June 11 at Jennersville Hospital. He was the husband of Maureen Petrarca, whom he shared nearly 41 years of marriage, and devoted father to Richard A. Petrarca, Jr. Born in 1945 in Philadelphia, he was the son of John Luke Petrarca and Gilda (Ippolito) Petrarca. He graduated from Bishop John Neuman high School in 1963. After enrolling in college, he decided to temporarily forgo his education and “voluntarily” drafted into the Army, where he proudly served his country. After returning from Vietnam, he graduated from LaSalle University, where he learned to correct everyone’s grammar, with a BA in English literature. While working at the Chadds Ford Inn in Chadds Ford and raising his son, he went back to school at Immaculata University, where he studied the fine art of education. Soon after, he began his teaching carrier at Assumption B.V.M. in West Grove. He retired in 2012, but never stopped talking about his students, and recently attended former student’s graduations. Richard was a proud member of the Pius X counsel of the Knights of Columbus, where he was a Fourth Degree Knight. He was also an active parishioner of Assumption B.V.M. Parish in West Grove, where he served on multiple church committees, counsels and advisory groups. Rich’s biggest passion was his family. He loved to travel, with annual family trips to the Outer Banks and multiple trips touring across Italy with his wife and family friends. He is survived by his wife, Maureen; his son Richard and his fiancée, Sarah Gmyr; his sister in-law, Dana Petrarca; his brother John and wife Marcy and their daughter Marcella and her husband Dr. Victor Gregory; his great-nieces Caitlin and husband Mike Overman and son Danny; Brigid and her husband Andrew Trites, and Maggie Gregory; and his great-nephew Victor William Gregory. He was preceded in death by his mother, Gilda; father, John Luke; and brother, Ronald. A service will be held on June 19 at Assumption Blessed Virgin Mary Church. A graveside committal service will take place June 21 at 11 a.m. at Holy Sepulchere Cemetery (3301 W. Cheltenham Ave., Philadelphia). In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Richard’s memory to the Knights of Columbus Charities. Send checks payable to K of C St. Pius X #3858 to Assumption B.V.M.

KATHARINE M. WELLS Katharine M Wells passed away on June 13. She was born in Abington, Pa., in 1932. She is survived by her husband, William “Bill” D. Wells, with whom she shared 62 years of marriage. She is also survived by her four children, Katharine E. Hawes of Oxford, William H. Wells of West Grove, Thomas M. Wells of Southold, N.Y., and David Wells West Grove; nine grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren. She was a loving spouse, mother and educator, and will be remembered as a sincere and kind woman.

History Awards given to students in Chester County

Friends Folk Club slates show by the Ragged but Right Quartet The Friends Folk Club, along with St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church, will be hosting a rare area performance by the Ragged But Right Quartet featuring Colin Gilmore, Adam Traum ,and The Kennedys, on July 12 at 7:30 p.m. Colin Gilmore, son of legendary Jimmie Dale Gilmore, grew up in Lubbock, Texas, and later moved to Austin as a teenager. It was in Austin he was exposed to groundbreaking alt-country/ Americana artists like Joe Ely, Butch Hancock and others. Gilmore has received critical acclaim for his solo albums. His latest work, “The Wild And Hollow,” was named Best Americana/singer-songwriter album of 2013 by Huffington Post’s Mike Ragogn,a and his album “Goodnight Lane” received four-star reviews in Mojo and Uncut. He frequently works with the elder Gilmore and they have an instructional workshop video coming on Homespun Music Instruction.

For more than two decades, husband and wife Pete and Maura Kennedy have traversed the highways and byways of the United States and the United Kingdom, as a folk/ pop duo and as members of Nanci Griffith’s Blue Moon Orchestra. As The Kennedys, they have released more than a dozen CDs, are regulars on the festival circuit, and were named Artists-in-Residence at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Their original music is uplifting, encouraging and empowering, with an alwayspositive vibe, emblematic of their love for the classic songwriting of Buddy Holly. Adam Traum was raised halfway across the country from Austin, in the historic hamlet of Woodstock, N.Y., in a musical family. His father is Happy Traum, a folk luminary who is still actively playing and teaching. Traum was surround by influential artists like Bob Dylan, The Band, John

Sebastian and Pete Seeger. He eventually found his way to the Americana world, which influenced his songwriting. Traum has garnered positive reviews for his first acoustic solo release, “Just Like Home” (2012) in Acoustic Guitar Magazine, Oakland Tribune and Sonoma Sun. His trio, the Mosey Boys, released their debut CD, “One Takes,” in 2016. St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church is at 116 Lancaster Pike, Oxford. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30 p.m. Proceeds from this concert will benefit St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church.

Outback Trading Company expands into a new distribution center and headquarters in Nottingham Outback Trading Company, a leading international supplier of all-weather outdoor apparel, has been a staple of downtown Oxford for more than 30 years. This month the Outback Corporate Office and Warehouse will move into their new location located in Nottingham, just outside of the Oxford Borough. The move was sparked by the need for upgraded facilities, most importantly for

container delivers and shipping needs. With this shift, the decision was made for the Outback Trading Retail Store to close its doors as of June 30. While the store in Downtown Oxford will close at this date,

Oxford local and longtime business partner, Ron Hershey, will be opening a new store that will carry Outback Trading Co. products during the second half of 2019. Wi l s o n King, President of Outback

Trading Co., stated, “We have dreamed of a modern, upgraded facility for years, and are overjoyed with how beautiful our new location is shaping up. We are looking into the future and excited for Ron Hershey to open a

new store in downtown Oxford shortly.” King added, “It was a hard choice to close the Outback Trading Store, but we think we found a way to ensure the best outcome for all and are excited for this next step with Ron.” Outback Trading Co. and Wilson King have been an integral part of Downtown Oxford’s revitalization efforts over the years and will continue to work with

Oxford Mainstreet and the Oxford Borough to find other retailers and businesses to fill the vacant warehouse and storefront spaces. The Outback Trading Store will have great specials while it remains open on Third Street. Following the close of the store, customers will still be able to order any Outback Trading Co. products on the company website, outbacktrading.com.
