Supervisors interviewed in fraud investigation By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer

It was announced at the July 17 Kennett Township Board of Supervisors meeting that the township’s three supervisors – Chairman Scudder Stevens, Dr. Richard Leff and Whitney Hoffman – were recently interviewed by officials investigating the unfolding allegation of fraud in the township, which led to the dismissal of its former township manager. It was confirmed that Stevens and Leff met separately with authorities on June 25, and that Hoffman was interviewed on June 27, but on the advice of solicitor David Sander and Police Chief Lydell Nolt, the specific individuals and agencies were not disclosed. The township is working with the Chester County District Attorney’s Office and Marcum, LLP – a forensic auditor hired by the township. The findings of both agencies are due in early September. The announcement on July 17 served as the latest update the board has shared with the public related to an ongoing investigation that began on The Oxford parking garage April 25, when Stevens, is taking shape...5A Leff and Hoffman were notified by the fraud department at the township’s bank that its officers had found a number of

suspicious transactions on township accounts. From the time the public first received the news of the investigation, a flurry of statements have been issued from the township, and action has been done on the part of the supervisors. In a release sent on May 11, the supervisors wrote that they carefully reviewed the findings with the bank, legal and law enforcement representatives and immediately referred the matter to the Chester County District Attorney’s Office. Also, steps were taken to make sure no further unauthorized transactions took place. On May 14, township manager Lisa Moore was placed on paid administrative leave, and in an official release issued on May 20, the supervisors announced that they dismissed Moore from her job. On June 5, Stevens read a brief joint statement that said that the investigation was in the final stages of securing records and documents from both internal and external sources, and that the DA’s Office and forensic auditor were in the process of analyzing and qualifying those documents, a process which will continue for a period of some months. Stevens also said on June 5 that Nolt had

recently received a joint memo from the investigators explaining that they were in the final stages of securing records and documents, both from internal and external sources.

“As you would expect, the investigators are being thorough, objective and professional,” Stevens said at the July 17 meeting. “I regret that I cannot provide any more details

than that. I also cannot speculate or discuss who else is being interviewed, the subjects covered, or how long the interview phase may take. Continued on Page 6A

Faced with a drastic decline in membership, the Kemblesville United Methodist Church is exploring options for its future use, and two rep-

resentatives of the church asked the Franklin Township Board of Supervisors about the issue on July 17. During public comment at the conclusion of the regular meeting, Tom Veasey and Dan Mahala from the church said they have had a 75

percent drop in membership and cannot pay their debts. In three months, they said, the church will likely not be able to pay its bills. Several options were introduced. They could Continued on Page 3A

Oxford Borough Council discusses regulations regarding commercial use of sidewalks By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer Oxford Borough officials heard the concerns of several business owners and decided to stop enforcing the regulations regarding the commercial use of sidewalks in the C-3 District in the downtown while the ordinances are being revised. During the July 15 meeting, council members were very much conflicted about how to address the concerns that were being raised. Several merchants in town want to set up a table and chairs outside on the sidewalk so that customers can enjoy the summer weather. Borough officials want to have more people in the downtown enjoying them-

selves—the outdoor activity enhances the vibrancy of the downtown. However, borough officials have to consider the needs of residents who live in apartments in the business district, as well as pedestrians who might be affected by the commercial activity on the sidewalks. Some businesses, such as the Wholly Grounds coffee shop, are perfect for an outdoor table and a few chairs. But the borough would not want other businesses to take their commercial activities out on the sidewalk. The owners of two of the borough’s newer businesses, the hookah lounge and the cigar shop, appealed to Oxford Borough Council to Continued on Page 6A

Local News Science... Continued from Page 1A

Recently, Bill Turner, a retired elementary school science teacher, led two classes of students in a week-long study of the human body at the Oxford Public Library. The younger class came at 9:45 a.m., and the older students arrived at 11 a.m. Using everyday objects made into tools of scientific investigation, he presented the systems and operations of the human body in terms that were engaging and active. Turner, 67, who has taught Science in the Summer for the past 17 years, has an education background in the West Chester School District, from which he retired two years ago. He taught both science and fifth grade. He said he loves science and has observed that children seem to like it as well. He’s one of four teachers who cover the Chester County libraries this summer, with a theme this year of “The Science of Me.”

When the liquid in the tubes was held up for view, the students saw how the medical profession analyzes the components that have

Commenting on the use of everyday objects as learning tools, Turner said, “You can buy a lot of learning stuff, but if you are smart and creative, you can put together a lot, especially from kitchen utensils.” Later Turner engaged the kids in examining and even poking around a preserved

sheep’s heart. One student, holding the dissected heart in his hand, said, “This is the coolest thing I’ve ever done.” Turner said he really believes in hands-on learning, and thinks the students excel in their understanding of science when they learn that way. He said a staff member at the Franklin Institute designs the courses and themes every year. Glaxo SmithKline provides the funding. The topics range around space, sports medicine and primitive machines, among other things. His favorite, he said, is space. This educational science course at the libraries is free and well attended. The limit is 16 students enrolled in each class. Children’s librarian Faith Dopirak said she starts advertising it to the public in the spring, and it fills up fast. “It’s wildly popular, and I have to turn some people away,” she said. Local teen volunteers assist with distributing the equipment and other general logistics.

Local News U-CF board approves facilities use fees for outside groups By JP Phillips Correspondent To amend school policy 707, the Unionville-Chadds Ford School Board members approved a new fee schedule for the use of school facilities at their July 15 meeting. This policy came under review after a hired consultant presented an expansive outdoor facility upgrade

offer the building for the township’s use for the cost of the debt, which is about $425,000, they could convert it into low-income housing for veterans or seniors, in a design similar to that of the Luther House. This would require a grant from the State of Pennsylvania and the grant application must be submitted by November. They also said they could sell or rent the building, which sits in the heart of Kemblesville, as commercial office space. The supervisors indicated they would not be opposed to the low-income housing or office space ideas, and would like a developer to meet with them and answer some questions. The board is planning a special meeting so the public could attend and voice their opinions, instead of waiting until the Aug. 28 regular supervisors meeting. A zoning issue regarding the owner of 1620 New London Road is being resolved after the property owner announced he is selling the property rather than comply with stormwater requirements he said are cost-prohibitive. He has been informed that he must stop all of the business activity at the property by July 30, or the township will issue a notice of violation. Paul Lagasse reported that the Historical Commission and the Historical Architectural Review Board had held a joint meeting on July 2. He said deed research on the Church Hill African Cemetery property will not begin until the fall, at the earliest, and that the Franklin Township historic resources map should be reviewed and finalized in late July. Lagasse said the Historical Commission is soliciting scans of postcards, photos, and other documents from anyone who is willing to share them for posting on their website. The owners of a 13.7acre property on Peacedale Road have submitted an application to be placed in the Township Agricultural Security Area (ASA). The ASA protects farmers against nuisance complaints and/or lawsuits. The owners are interested in placing an AG easement on the property. The board unanimously accepted the application. The first rough draft ordinance regarding solar and wind energy was discussed at length. The board agrees that they don’t want to discourage commercial alternate energy sites, but they foresee issues with setbacks, screening and stormwater requirements. The board will discuss the ordinance again before submitting it to the Planning Commission for their review. To contact Staff Writer John Chambless, email jchambless@chestercounty. com.

proposal last year. Several residents questioned the need for the projects, and the taxpayer cost, and whether or not outside groups were paying their fair share for facilities upkeep based on their usage. Superintendent John Sanville said that the new fee schedule is more compatible with the relatively new scheduling software adopt-

ed in the spring of 2018. According to Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds, James Whitesel, a committee will be formed this year to ensure rates charged for facilities are competitive for this area. Based on his experience working in the West Chester School District, he said that Unionville’s field rates seem right, but the class-

room rental rates could be set too high. Changes may be proposed as a result of the committee’s findings. Based on the new simplified fee schedule, Whitesel estimates that rental revenue could increase by 10 percent, to $44,000, for the top 16 users. These organizations typically account for 75 percent of rental revenue. Board member Vic Dupuis

spoke of the impact of donations made by outside groups that could offset their usage fees. “We will continue to offer them the opportunity to offset those fees with in-kind contributions of services or goods, as we’ve done in the past,” Dupuis said. For example, the Unionville Recreation Association (URA) donated more

than $46,000 in 2018 for new softball and baseball scoreboards. In other business, the board approved a long list of supplemental positions for the upcoming school year. These positions were mostly for sports coaches and other extracurricular clubs and activities, as well as for department and grade-level chairpersons.

Schaller wins prestigious art scholarship award Mia Schaller is the winner of the 2019 Harry Dunn Art Scholarship Award. The award is named after Harry Dunn, who studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia College of Art, and the Art Students League of New York. He was born in West Chester in 1929. After completing his art training, Harry went on to work in New York and Philadelphia in advertising, television & illustration. Harry’s most widely recognized illustration became the NBC peacock, promoting full living color television in 1956. Harry’s artwork was featured on the covers of The New Yorker, Park East, House & Garden and Fortune magazines. In the 1960s and 1970s, a good deal of Harry’s artwork and

murals were installed for display in East Coast hotels, apartment buildings, and banks. In his later years, Harry mentored many artists throughout Chester County. Although Harry passed away in 1998, his legacy lives on through his family and friends, his artwork, and the Harry Dunn Scholarship Fund. Harry also served as the inspiration for the Sunset Hill Fine Arts Gallery and The West Chester Gallery Walk. Harry’s friend and mentee, Sandra Riper of Sunset Hill Jewelers & Fine Arts Gallery in West Chester, oversees the annual scholarship award. Each year, the Harry Dunn Art Scholarship is awarded to a Chester County student to pursue their education in the arts. Schaller, a resident of

In other business, the board approved 90-day extension for the sale of its sewer system to Aqua Pennsylvania, Inc., for $29.5 million. While the finalization of the purchase has been hampered by delays – it’s been in negotiation for the past three years – Pompo said that he is confident that the sale will be completed by the end of the year. “Over the last month or so, there has been some fairly significant and positive activity, in order to move this transaction forward,” Pompo told the board. “That activity has involved negotiations with the Office of Consumer Advocate, which was the party that had appealed the decision of the Public Utility Commission. There have been terms of a settlement agreement that have been negotiated and discussed between the Office of Consumer Advocate and the township, and I can say that at least in my view, we’re very close to having this resolved.”

19, for hopeful adoption at the board’s September meeting. The bulk of the site plan will be paid for through a $60,000 grant secured by Pa. State Rep. Christina Sappey, but Scheivert said that there will likely be additional township funds available for the cost of creating the master site plan. Scheivert also updated the supervisors on the current payment scenario for the new 11,716-square-foot facility for the Southern Chester County Regional Police Department, currently being constructed on Gap-Newport Pike. As of now, the township has already paid $2.75 million toward the building of the $4.34 million facility, through a $4.5 million construction loan the township secured for the project, at an interest rate of 3.72 percent. Scheivert told the board that there is still $1.445 million left to pay for the project, which includes $850,000 for general contracting, $77,000 for plumbing, $143,000 for electrical installation, $85,000 for mechanical

The board also gave conditional use approval to 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 approval served as a follow-up to the June 17 conditional use hearing before the board, when barber Jose Lopez told the board that he envisions the business – which he intends to call “Pepe’s Barbershop, LLC” – 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.

Local News Parking garage in Oxford starts to take shape By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer The parking garage being constructed in downtown Oxford is starting to look likeâ&#x20AC;Śa parking garage. Last week, construction work on the site was evident as large pre-cast pieces of the structure were delivered. Over the next six weeks, the exterior of the parking garage will really start to take shape. A new Oxford Borough administration building is also part of the project. There will be some intermittent closures of 2nd Street from Lancaster Avenue to Octoraro Alley in the coming weeks as trucks deliver the large pre-cast pieces to the site. With the new phase of the construction work starting, a completion to the project starts to come in sight. The construction work on the exterior of the structure is scheduled to be completed this year, and the entire project, including the interior work, is expected to be finished in the first part of 2020. The parking garage will address the need for more parking in the business district, and will also help Oxford attract new businesses to its commercial district.

Bill Carey and Scott Blum assured council members that if they received any complaints, they would ask their customers to move back inside. Borough council engaged in a lengthy discussion about the regulations currently on the books, and what changes could be made to meet the needs of business owners in town. Several council members talked about the need to support business owners, particularly because of the investment that they have made in the borough. “We need to promote the downtown and support our businesses,” said council member Ron Hershey.

Council member Amanda Birdwell, for instance, noted that she has concerns about business owners inviting customers to smoke hookah or cigars on the street because of health concerns of secondhand smoke. Council president Sue Lombardi said that it’s always concerning to have an ordinance on the books that isn’t being enforced, so it’s important to make the appropriate revisions if they want to allow further uses. Ultimately, council decided to direct the staff to not enforce the existing ordinance that pertains to the C-3 District until it can be revised. Once the revised ordinances are reviewed at the county level, borough council will have the opportunity to further discuss the issue before a new ordinance is adopted. In other business at the meeting, borough manager Brian Hoover said that the

Hoover said that this includes a long list of items that are necessary to equip the new borough hall, including desks, chairs, the walls for cubicles, and more. Hoover said that the furniture will not be received by the borough until the new borough building is ready for it, and that council was only approving a purchase order, not authorizing a payment.

Mid-summer musings

Chester Water Authority must be saved

Here are a few random musings on a summer day….

Enjoy a day of music and art in Oxford The second annual Connective Festival is now just ten days away. The 2019 Connective Festival, which takes place on Saturday, Aug. 3, features Blind Melon and family favorite Trout Fishing in America, as well as many other diverse acts that will be performing on three different stages in downtown Oxford. The first event was wonderful—everyone who attended had a good time, and the organizers have worked hard to make sure that the second event is even better. More than 40 artists will be showcasing their work. There will be interactive music and art activities, plus plenty of food trucks, craft beers, local wine, and more. The gates open at 10 a.m. on Aug 3.

One step forward, one step back As a result of the past few election cycles, the contingent of elected officials in southern Chester County has slowly become a little more diverse. For many years—for many, many years, a large percentage of elected officials in southern Chester County were older, they were white, and they were male. Even as the communities themselves grew more diverse, local governments did not reflect those changes. But then there was some progress, especially in the last decade. But for every step forward, it seems, there’s a step backward. When Michael Watson resigned in East Nottingham Township, one of the younger supervisors in the area was lost. Oxford Borough Council became less diverse when Phillip Hurtt tendered his resignation recently. There aren’t many female supervisors in the area, so when Shelley Meadowcroft stepped down as a supervisor in East Nottingham, it was a loss. Look, it would be foolish to suggest that local residents would be better served simply because of the presence of more minorities in local government. The talent, intelligence, honesty, and dedication of each individual elected official determines how well he or she serves in their roles. But it would certainly be best if the various school boards, borough councils, and supervisor boards were truly representative of the communities that they serve. Hopefully, over the course of the next few election cycles, the diversity of the elected officials in the area will continue to grow.

Penn Township intersection improvements soon to be completed For folks who regularly travel through the intersection of Route 796 and West Baltimore Pike, the major upgrades that are currently taking place to the intersection met an obvious need. The intersection has long had traffic flow issues. Even so, construction work at any busy intersection can create a nightmare for motorists. It is not surprising that the intersection work is being completed in such an efficient and smooth manner. Penn Township has long been one of the best-managed townships in the area, and this project is another illustration of that. The intersection improvement project should be completed within a month or so, and while there will always be some disruptions and delays with a project like this, those disruptions have been kept to a minimum. Kudos to everyone who played a part in making sure that the project went as smoothly as it did.

Letter to the Editor: This is a letter in support of the Chester Water Authority Board and their actions to save the historic Chester Water Authority (CWA). Our family has lived on the CWA reservoir for 50 years. We are witnesses to CWA’s dedicated stewardship of our region’s resources and the far-reaching positive consequences of CWA’s management. They set the finest example of monitoring and dedicate themselves to producing an invaluable commodity for their ratepayers. Not only do they deliver safe drinking water to hundreds of thousands of people, but they care for their region and give back to the community by underwriting Watershed programs, educating the public, and ensuring outreach to those under-served in this modern world. Just one example is how the CWA has facilitated the Octoraro Watershed Association’s outreach to the Old Order Amish community, encouraging

them to do their part in conservation of our beleaguered national gem, The Chesapeake Bay. Years ago, after a vicious combination of snow melt and heavy rains, the plant director undertook a watermonitoring analysis that resulted in unique definitions of farm run-off and the resulting loss of revenues to local farmers. This local revenue loss was contributing heavily to the detriment of the Chesapeake. It was a brilliant analysis. This was not a top-down directive, but a manager and staff seeing a huge problem and stepping up to identify the reality of run-off and its cost to the East Coast and the nation. Additionally, the Chester Water Authority provides public recreation, which is enjoyed by thousands of people near and far. The Coatesville VA Hospital frequents their facilities, bringing veterans suffering from PTSD. Every week, there are families fishing from the shore line enjoying the simple pleasures of life. A huge community exists

that actively utilizes the public recreational facilities and appreciates the opportunities granted by the Chester Water Authority Board. On top of this, CWA supports the Octoraro Art Association and all its varied activities. CWA staff is present at all local events and they sincerely give back to the communities they work and live in, be it in Lancaster, Chester or Delaware counties. The Chester Water Authority, from their plant operations staff to their board, are vigilant stewards who manage their operation 24/7, all the while enduring drought, flood, pollution and aging infrastructure under homeland security mandates. They deliver a fine product at a balanced and reasonable cost. It is everyone’s nightmare to think Chester Water Authority has to fight for its life now. It is a ridiculous waste of CWA time and money to have this brilliant company’s efforts and resources be diverted to stave off a hostile takeover. Pennsylvania needs

to honor “the authority” invested in the Chester Water Authority, which was long ago created to serve the public in a “not for profit” style of doing business. The state needs to stand by decades of best management practice and not sell out one of their most valuable assets that is praised near and far. General Reader, now it is your turn. The Chester Water Authority Board is requesting ratepayers and general public send comments in support of Chester Water Authority board’s actions to save their company. Go to the website at www.chesterwater.com and at the top center of the page click “Contact.” Then select the drop-down subject “Questions Regarding Aqua Lawsuit/Potential Sale of CWA.” Urge the Chester Water Authority Board to continue their actions to save Chester Water Authority, and then send a copy to local and state leadership.

Oxford Borough Council should have waited to fill vacancy Letter to the Editor: I would like to start by saying that this email has nothing to do with who was appointed to fill the vacancy created by Phillip Hurtt’s resignation from Oxford Borough Council. My comments relate to the process and the speed at which the opening was filled. To my knowledge, there was no public announcement made that a vacancy existed on borough council, there-

by preventing anyone who was interested in filling the vacancy to present a letter of interest to Council. I realize the borough code does not require any notice about a vacancy. However, in my opinion, common courtesy should have prevailed to give any interested parties the opportunity to present themselves to Council. I remember several times in the past when vacancies occurred and residents did come to Council to explain why they were interested.

According to the article that appeared in the Chester County Press, one of the reasons given for the immediate appointment was the timing of the resignation and the next regular Council meeting, which would have required a special meeting of Council. There have been many special meetings of council held in the past for various reasons, and I believe this situation would have warranted such a meeting. I applaud council members

Amanda Birdwell, Peggy Ann Russell and Robert Ketcham for questioning the process in public and voting against the motion to appoint. Again, this has nothing to do with the individual who was appointed. It is my hope that, in the future, if a vacancy exits, the public would have the opportunity to apply.

Pennsylvania must bring Internet equity to all students Letter to the Editor: One reason that Gov. Tom Wolf signed the “no snow days” bill into law was because it means no school makeup days in the

spring. The downside is the fact that students without broadband access will still miss days of school since they cannot do assignments if teachers assign online home-

work during what used to be islative priority, and not snow days. unintentionally leave them While I do not argue the even further behind. merits of this new law, it reminds me that Pennsylvania Vince Phillips must bring Internet equity Legislative Director to all students as a top legPA State Grange

Houlahan’s vote was important to reasserting Congress’s constitutional authority Letter to the Editor: Thank you, Chrissy Houlahan for voting to reassert Congress’s constitutional authority over the decision to go to war. Virtually all of our faith traditions teach that violence should be the last response to conflict. The decision to send our troops into harm’s way—to ask our sons and daughters, our neighbors to kill on our behalf -- is among the most terrible we grant our government. For that reason, Article I of the Constitution reserves for Congress -- the people’s representatives -the power to “declare war” and to “make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces.” Congress abdicated that responsibility with the 2001 and 2002 Authorizations for the Use of Military Force: the first in response

to the 9/11 terror attacks, the second over the mistaken intelligence that Saddam Hussein controlled weapons of mass destruction. The overly broad wording of both have led our country into endless wars and been-interpreted as giving one man the power to add

Iran to the list of battle fields. Thank you, Chrissy Houlahan for voting with her House colleagues on July 11 as part of the National Defense Authorizations Act to repeal the 2002 AUMF against Iraq (that war is

done) and to make clear that Congress has not authorized the use of military force against Iran except in self-defense. Let us urge Senators Casey and Toomey to do the same. David R. Ross West Nottingham

County retains top-10 national digital ranking For the fourth year in a row, the Center for Digital Government (CDG) and National Association of Counties (NACo) have placed Chester County in the top 10 best technology practices among U.S. counties. The ranking is based on initiatives that streamline delivery of government services, encourage open data, collaboration and shared services, enhance cybersecurity and contribute to disaster response and recovery efforts. The award was presented to Chester County Commissioner Terence Farrell at the NACo annual conference in Clark County, Nev. The Digital Counties judging panel noted, “Chester County’s website is built on a responsivedesign content management system, and several forms and applications have been digitized such as those needed for family court, park events, foster parent reimbursement and more. Earlier this year, e-filing became available on the website with the goal of saving money and benefiting taxpayers, attorneys and government staff. This service takes advantage of the Pennsylvania Unified Judicial System, which saves Chester County from spending more than $100,000 to store court documents in its own cloud.” The judges also highlighted efforts to provide translation for key webpages for Hispanic residents. A menu option on the www. chesco.org homepage lists

all information available in Spanish, and the county’s decision to use a local translation service instead of standard translation software was made so that the translations reflect the cultural language of the community. “Every year, Chester County makes tremendous strides in offering digital services to better serve our citizens, save taxpayer money and protect citizen data,” said Commissioner Farrell. “This award showcases that effort and I congratulate staff from our Department of Computing and Information Services, our digital communications personnel and representatives from many other departments who helped us earn this honor.” The Digital Survey is conducted annually in the spring. All U.S. counties are invited to participate in the survey which examines the overall technology programs and plans of the county.

Chester County Commissioner Terence Farrell receives the top-10 Digital Counties award from Jeremy Debrine of Zscaler, one of the award sponsors, at the National Association of Counties annual conference.

Work on Penn Township intersection is progressing well Project could be finalized next month

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer A $2.5 million project to improve and realign the intersection of Route 796 and West Baltimore Pike in Penn Township is progressing well and could be completed by the end of August. The scope of the project includes the roads being widened and turning lanes being added at the busy intersection. A new

traffic signal is also being installed with updated signal phasing. The last phase of the project includes the paving of the roads. “I’m very pleased with the project. The whole board is,” said Curtis Mason, the chairman of the Penn Township Board of Supervisors. Township officials have long wanted to make upgrades that would improve the flow of traffic

through the intersection. The t ow n s h i p purchased the Red Rose Inn seven years ago not only because it was a way to preserve an important part of the township’s history, but because it also allowed for trafficcalming measures for the nearby intersection. After the township purchased the Red Rose Inn, modifications were made to the non-historic additions that had been

made to the building through the years to make way for the realignment of Route 796. The original historic part of the Inn will remain intact and is being carefully refurbished. Before this project, the Route 796 and West Baltimore Pike intersection ranked among the least eff icient intersections in Pennsylvania. The high number of vehicles passing through the

intersection, as well as the alignment of the road, presented safety issues, especially during peak hours. Township off icials expect the new turning lanes, widened roads, and updated traffic signal phasing to make a big difference for motorists.

Spill in aisle 3: ‘Marty’ the robot joins the staff at local Giant Food Stores By Megan Gent Contributing Writer With her head down, hurrying through the busy supermarket aisles, a woman didn’t even notice the tall, googly-eyed robot in front of her at a local Giant store until she crashed into it with her shopping cart. Laughter erupted from the shoppers around her, as everyone stopped for a minute to examine this large, gray machine as it rolled away. Marty the robot recently made its debut in the Jennersville and Kennett Giant Food Stores, and also proudly wears its official employee name tag at all 172 Giant locations across the nation. Not only are its large eyes and smile unique, but the constant beeping sounds and glowing blue lights make Marty an easy target to spot, giving it a lot of attention lately around the store. Though most regulars of Giant have been exposed to Marty by this point, not many people actually know the purpose. Shopper Pam Pew is among these confused guests.

“I don’t even know. I think he cleans the floor? I don’t quite understand him,” Pew said. It seems to be a common misconception that Marty cleans the floor, but its main job is to identify hazards, such as liquid, powder, and bulk food spills, according to Giant Food Stores. “I don’t think it’s purposeful. I mean, what is the purpose of it other than to go, ‘Hey there’s a spill over here’?” Pew said. “It’s probably more of an annoyance than anything else.” When a hazard is detected, Marty immediately becomes stationary, reports the danger to employees, and its lights turn yellow to caution customers. Marty’s skills were put to the test when he wandered into the bakery section of the store, quickly detecting a threat. Customers did not know what the hazard was, but Marty did. It detected a quarter-sized water spill on the floor. Immediately, the robot stopped rolling and began projecting the phrase, “Caution, hazard detected” in both English and Spanish.

This was followed by the announcement, “Ceanup in the bakery department,” which was broadcast over the store’s loudspeaker. Giant representatives said that the robots give the store’s staff the ability to focus more on their customers, as well as eliminate customer accidents that can arise from spills. While some customers are confused by Marty’s presence, others are intrigued by it, such as 4-year-old Kinley McCarthy. When the robot first approached her, the young girl clung to her mother, Jennifer, in fear. However, after realizing no harm could be done, she became fascinated and could not look away. Jennifer said that she had seen the robot before, but that it was her daughter’s first encounter with it. Kinley whispered to her mom that she thought it was a little scary, but also kind of fun. “It’s cool that our grocery store has a robot,” McCarthy said. “The kids are really excited about it.” When asked how Marty affects her daily shopping experience, Jessica Chastain, along with others, said that

it really doesn’t. “He’s kind of just there, but I think it’s something neat to see, and I think it’s cool for the kids, even though they might not understand it,” Chastain said. Shoppers have contrasting opinions when it comes to Marty. Some people are excited to see the technological progress implemented in grocery stores, but others are confused and fearful of these advancements. Lorraine Nelson thinks this machine is certainly not hurtful, and she and her husband, Jim, were quite entertained by Marty’s job. When asked if he has ever seen anything like Marty before, Jim said that it reminded him of the robot vacuum that cleans the carpet in his home. Store policy prevents store employees from commenting on the robot, but Giant Food Stores president Nicholas Bertram said that associates have been working hard to bring this innovation to life. “Bringing robotics and A.I. from a research lab to the sales floor has been a very exciting journey, and we were thrilled by the customer response in our pilot stores,” Bertram said.

Find out whodunit in Kennett Square Participants look for clues throughout downtown on Aug. 2

There’s murder afoot in downtown Kennett Square on Aug. 2 as members of the Kennett Amateur Theatrical Society (KATS) spin the tale of “The Mystery of Snow White’s Family Reunion.” In this audienceparticipation, cross-town caper, participants meet the detective at the scene of the crime in Sycamore Alley to gather clues, question murder suspects in participating downtown locations, and attempt to identify the murderer and solve the mystery. Prizes will be awarded to random winners. To take part in the free event, just pick up a map with participating locations, general suspect information, and a worksheet from the detective. Participants will investigate the murder by determining holes in suspect stories by using the questions, answers and clues provided by the detective, actors playing murder suspects, and other suspicious characters. Suspects, denoted by costumes and potential murder weapons, will be stationed at various locations in downtown Kennett Square. Additional suspicious characters will walk around town with clues available

for purchase (proceeds benefit the theater group). Winners will be randomly selected and awarded prizes at the end of the evening. Participants do not have to be present at the 6:45 p.m. improvisation to participate in the mystery. Participation is free, and all ages are welcome to take part. The evening begins at 6:45 p.m., when everyone meets in the Sycamore Alley Walkway (next to La Verona, across the street from Farmers Market) just before 6:45 p.m. Detectives will show you the body and issue instructions. From 7 to 8:15 p.m., you can stroll through town, interviewing suspects and marking clues on your game sheet. At 8:15, hand in your checklists at the KATS table and assemble in the Genesis Walkway to hear the conclusion of the caper. The plot has considerable backstory: Jürgen Schneeweiss arrived in the colony of New Sweden in February of 1643, five years after the Kalmar Nyckel had brought the first Swedish and Finnish settlers to the area. He had come from Stockholm aboard the Swan, along with the new Governor, Johan Printz. He was originally from Saxony, and had no doubt found

himself in Stockholm as a result of the Thirty Years War. Almost immediately upon arrival, Jürgen married a Finnish woman (a large portion of the population of the Colony of New Sweden were Finns from the central forests of Sweden.) Jürgen and his family managed to survive the sickness, food shortages and skirmishes with the Dutch that plagued the colony until it was finally surrendered to the Dutch in 1655, and then again later to the English, with the land grant to William Penn in 1681. One of the ways that Jürgen adapted to the changing politics of the region was to first change his name to Joran Snovit, the Swedish equivalent of his German name, and then again to George Snowhite to Anglicize it. Because of his early arrival in the New World he was able to accumulate land that was held by his family for generations. When the family began to divest itself of the Chester area properties in the mid-19th century, they accumulated a considerable fortune. To manage this fortune, the various branches of the family formed the Snowwhite Family

In a 2013 staging of ‘The Mystery of Snow White’s Family Reunion,’ the murder victim, Neve Bianca Scontroso, was found in the Genesis Walkway.

Foundation. In the 376 years since the arrival of Jürgen Schneeweiss in North America, the generations that have come after have spread his family tree through thousands of branches and hundreds of thousands of descendants across the entire country. Many branches have managed to maintain a level of contact through an annual family reunion. This year, the annual reunion is being hosted by Isaac and Rachel Wetherill on their farm outside of Kennett Square. In advance of the reunion scheduled for the weekend of Aug. 2 to 4, the board of the Snowhite Family Foundation has gathered in Kennett Square. On the Friday night before the big reunion, a number of those that have gathered in the area have ventured into Kennett Square for Art Stroll festivities, the shops, music and dining. Unfortunately, tragedy has struck the family gathering for this year. At 6:30 p.m., the body of Neve Bianca Scontroso, the board chair, will be found in the Genesis Walkway. What secrets lie within the family histories and connections of these descendants of George Snowhite that could have caused someone to commit this brutal crime? It’s up to you to find out – and to explore downtown Kennett Square in the process!

Participants gather clues as they meet suspects at locations around Kennett Square.

NOTICE

Notice of Intent to ISSUE A Title V Operating Permit Notice is hereby given in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.424(b) and 127.521, that the Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP) intends to renew Title V Operating Permit No. 15-00104, issued to Flowers Baking Company of Oxford Incorporated (“Flowers Baking Company”), located in Oxford Borough, Chester County. This Title V Operating Permit is for Flower Baking Company’s bakery plant in Oxford, PA. The facility is a major source for VOC. Sources include boilers, heating processes, a fire pump, a fryer line, an oven line, and an emergency generator. The fryer (Source ID 101) is equipped with mist eliminator to reduce PM. The bread oven (Source ID 108) is controlled by a catalytic oxidizer. All other sources have been deemed uncontrollable at this time. The fire pump (Source ID 036) is subject to 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ. The emergency generator (Source ID 700) is subject to 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ. Applicable requirements have been incorporated into the Title V Operating Permit for both sources. The following are current potential site-wide emission rates for this facility: NOx – 17.6 TPY; SOx – 0.2 TPY; PM10 – 2.2 TPY; PM2.5 – 2.2; CO – 14.2 TPY; VOC – 33.7 TPY; HAP – 0.3 TPY; and GHG – 19,294.12 TPY (reported as CO2e). Allowable

emissions from the facility have not increased as a result of this permit renewal. Individual limits apply to the various sources at the facility. The operating permit contains requirements to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements for this source. Copies of the application, DEP’s analysis, inspection report and other documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at Southeast Regional Office, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401. A person may object to the operating permit or a proposed condition thereof by filing a written protest with the Department. Any person(s) wishing to provide DEP with additional information that they believe should be considered prior to the re-issuance of this Title V Operating Permit may submit the information to the address shown in the preceding paragraph. All comments shall be submitted within 30 days of publication of this notice. Each written comment must contain the following: Name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments. Identification of the Title V Operating Permit, No. 15-00104. A concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to the re-issuance of the Title V Operating Permit. A public hearing may be held, if DEP, in its discretion, decides that such a hearing is warranted based

on the comments received during the public comment period. All persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in a local newspaper of general circulation or the Pennsylvania Bulletin or by telephone, where DEP determines such notification is sufficient. Written comments or requests for a public hearing should be directed to Mr. James Rebarchak, Regional Manager, Air Quality, Department of Environmental Protection, Southeast Regional Office, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401, telephone No. 484-250-5920. 7p-10-3t

Fast and furious racing in West Chester on Aug. 10 Every year since the Benchmark Twilight Cycling Classic started in 2005, cycling fans from across the region have come to expect the unexpected. This year promises more racing thrills when the bike race fills the streets of downtown West Chester on Aug. 10. Technically, the Benchmark Twilight Cycling Classic is a criterium, but because the race route is only six tenths of a mile, and riders circle it numerous times, the action is a lot more intense and the speeds tend to be faster. The racing is relentless, never letting up until the racers have completed 100 laps in under two hours. Spectators in West Chester are so close to the action that they feel the rush of the wind and hear the whirl of wheels as nearly 100 riders speed

by, separated by mere inches. The crowd reacts by ringing cow bells and cheering. Like any other team sport, the Iron Hill Pro Men’s Criterium and the Wilmington University Pro Women’s Criterium are each composed of teams numbering between 15 to 20, each with five or six riders. The team leader is selected in advance, the rest of the team must protect that rider, even if it means exhausting themselves to the point that they have to pull out of the race. But first and foremost, they have to keep him or her out of harm’s way by staying with the rider through thick and thin. Team members must also help the team leader conserve energy until that last surge for victory. They do this by riding at a fast tempo while the team leader drafts their teammates. The faster the

tempo, the greater the chance to wear out the opposition. Conversely, the strongest rider at the end has the best chance of taking the win. The Benchmark Twilight Cycling Classic offers a range of familyfocused festivities that include the Iron Hill Twilight Pro Men’s Criterium, the Wilmington University Pro Women’s Criterium, Rothman Institute Amateur Criterium, West Chester Dental Arts Kids’ Race, Tolsdorf Trike Challenge, Chester County Hospital Community Festival and MacElree Harvey Kids’ Zone, this year featuring the Philadelphia Flyers’ Caravan of Fun. The Caravan includes games, an inflatable ice rink, giveaways and photo opportunities to meet Flyers alumni. Fo r more information, visit www. GreaterWestChester.com.

Cyclists work as teams to win at the annual Benchmark Twilight Cycling Classic.

Pet therapy group plans fundraiser PAWS for People, a Newark-based pet therapy organization, announces its first Wag & Walkathon, a month-long cumulative marathon that replaces the

traditional PAWS Wag-nWalk 5K Run. From Sept. 19 to Oct. 19, participants can walk or run with a friend, a pet, or individually, logging the

number of miles they walk or run each day during this period. The goal is to complete a marathon (26.2 miles) in a month. The Walkathon will culminate in a Cross the Finish Line event at Glasgow Park on Oct. 19. This event will include many components of the Wag-n-Walk 5K Run, such as dog games and contests, vendors, music and food. To help prepare for the Walkathon, participants can visit one of 11 “Gear Up” events from Sept. to 19 to pick up a shirt, pet bandana and walking snacks. Register by Aug. 15 to save $5 and be guaranteed an event shirt in your size. “Our Wag-n-Walk & 5K Run was very successful for 10 years, and we believe this new event will enable even more people to support the mission of PAWS,” said Lynne Robinson, executive director of PAWS for People. “This cumulative format is perfect for those who have always wanted to run a marathon, but 26.2 miles in a few hours is not their cup of tea. This way, individuals or groups can run/walk at their leisure. It’s a great way for companies to encourage healthy activity and fun among their employees. We feel this format provides flexibility to make the event appeal to everyone.” The registration fee for the Walkathon is $20 per person for children 12 and younger, and $30 per person for ages 13 and older. To register or for details on the Wag & Walkathon, Cross the Finish Line Celebration, and Gear Up Events, visit w w w. PAW S f o r p e o p l e . org/walkathon, or call 302-351-5622. PAWS for People is a volunteer, non-prof it organization that provides one-on-one animalassisted therapy and comfort for children and adults with physical, social, and emotional challenges. Nearly 500 therapy teams visit more than 160 sites in Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland. Visitation sites include hospices, assisted living facilities, Alzheimer’s units, chemotherapy treatment rooms, physical and occupational rehabilitation, and drug and alcohol treatment centers. In addition, PAWS for Reading teams provide reading sessions in schools and libraries to help children enjoy reading.
