Study: Smiles all around for Kennett Square another great region ready Mushroom Festival for economic development

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer

What will the Kennett Square region look like in five, ten, or twenty years?

That question is at the heart of the Kennett Region Economic Development Study, a 234-page analysis of the economic, labor, real estate, and landdevelopment conditions of Kennett Square Borough and Kennett Township that Skateboarders show their will help local leaders plot

a course for the future. The study is expected to be finalized this month, and on Sept. 8, the third and final public forum regarding the plan took place at the Kennett American Legion building. The study indicates that the Kennett Square region is rich in possibilities and opportunities, and will continue to be a hub of commercial activity and a center of arts Photo by Chris Herring and culture.

has an opportunity to refinance about $60.6 million in bonds that the district had been paying about 5 percent interest on. The board heard on Monday night that locking in lower rates this week will result in a net savings to the district, over the life of the bonds, of $8.1 million. The estimated closing

date on the deal is Oct. 25. The board unanimously approved the bond sale and issuance resolution.

On the other hand, the aging and malfunctioning fuel pump that is used to pump gasoline for the district’s buses and service vehicles has required a replacement unit. After

getting bids from three companies, the district selected Warren DeLong, Inc., for the work. The price will be $149,500.

Rick Hostetler, the supervisor of buildings and grounds, told the board, “There were only three bids, but that’s not really uncommon with a job

with specialties like a fuel pump replacement. Warren DeLong has done work for us in the past, they’ve done a lot of this type of work in the county, and I have no concerns about them as a bidder.”

The board unanimously approved the contract.

Under one roof: worKS opens in Kennett Square

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer When Tara Dugan first conceived the idea of worKS, the new retail destination store that opened this past weekend in Kennett Square, she envisioned a shared space filled with work from the area’s most well respected artists, showcased side-by-side with displays from some of the most eclectic retailers in the Brandywine Valley and beyond.

In short, worKS, located in a former gas station on South Walnut Street, is a 3,000-square-foot farmer’s market for the senses – a potpourri of sights, textures, ideas and style.

The store features a constantly changing display of artwork, clothing, antique furniture, photography, handbags and accessories by more than a dozen vendors.

Sewer implosion trumps parking problems

By Uncle Irvin Oxford Borough is facing raising 44 percent of the revenue to pay the debt of the quasi-bankrupt Oxford Sewer Authority (OASA). The borough already has the highest total property tax millage in Chester County ... and Borough Council is concerned about a grant that will only pay for half of a new parking garage.

Local News Study...

Continued from Page 1A

Local officials selected 4Ward Planning and the RBA Group to serve as the consultants to help develop an economic vision for the Kennett Square region.

The goal was to develop a road map for future commercial and residential development that would also preserve the historic charm and character of the community. Todd Poole, the managing principal of 4Ward Planning, and Mark Keener, the director of urban design with the RBA Group, led the presentation at the Sept. 8 forum. Poole has conducted similar economic development studies for communities all across

the country, including Bethlehem, Pa., Hoboken, N.J., and Kalamazoo, MI., and he and Keener have previously worked on studies together.

Local officials identified seven locations to be analyzed for potential growth in the future: the State Street corridor; the Cypress Street corridor; Birch Street from Walnut to Broad street; the area known as Millers Hill on the eastern boundary between the borough and the township; the Ways Lane area in Kennett Township; the former NVF site in the borough; and the area on the west side of Mill Road in the township. The study included

(610) 979-0352

a project goal for each of the locations, as well as actions that should be taken at the local level to achieve the goals.

Poole said that the vision for Millers Hill, a onemile stretch of westbound Baltimore Pike, is to transform it into a beautiful, landscaped gateway.

Millers Hill could be the site for up to 200,000 square feet of medical and technical service buildings or corporate back office operations. Two goals that local officials identified for Millers Hill are to introduce sidewalks or a walking trail to connect this area to the borough’s downtown, and to enhance the sense of hospitality for visitors along the corridor.

Next, Poole and Keener talked about how Way’s Lane could be transformed into a new kind of village that could be the home to affordable housing and mixed-use projects in the future.

“This is a place where private and public investment will have to be utilized,” Poole explained.

Way’s Lane would be the ideal location for a small university, community college, or technical school campus. There is a need for entertainment options, perhaps a movie theater, to serve the Kennett Square community, and Way’s Lane would be a suitable spot for that, too.

The Creamery has already demonstrated a successful redevelopment of a former industrial site on Birch Street. Poole and Keener said that Birch Street could

evolve into a “fascinating and fun mixed-use district.” It could be the home of pop-up arts and culture activities throughout the year. Local officials should be proactive and do what they can to reduce the red tape to encourage unique projects in this area.

State Street in Kennett Square Borough is already a charming district that blends the historic character of the town with modern retail concepts.

“There’s something precious here and cultivating that is important,” Keener explained.

Poole noted that there is more demand from people who want to open a business on State Street than there are spaces available—an enviable position for a town to be in.

“You don’t have a recruitment problem,” Poole said.

“You don’t have enough space for all the businesses that want to be here.

People want to be here.”

In the future, one challenge for local officials will be to find creative ways to make the most of under-utilized sites that exist State Street. This could include relocating some businesses to other parts of town so that each parcel and building on State Street is utilized to its fullest potential.

Poole said that the lack of adequate parking in the downtown area is an ongoing need that will eventually have to be addressed. The best option could be a private-public partnership on a new parking garage located in the

area on the western part of State Street heading toward the Rite Aid. The parking structure could be designed to blend in with State Street, with retail space and apartments included.

Cypress Street, which the study described as largely just a way through town right now, could be transformed into a more attractive in-town thoroughfare with some reinvestment. One possible enhancement is to add a two-way cycle track along Cypress Street.

Poole and Keener combined Mill Road and the former NVF site because of their proximity to each other, and because future development in both areas could be connected to each other.

Poole said that there are some remarkable opportunities for the redevelopment of the 26-acre NVF site, which has been extensively rehabilitated over the last decade.

“It is a home run site for future development,” Poole said.

The study envisions the

NVF site and Mill Road as a potential new neighborhood that could include a mix of retail, apartment buildings, and duplexes. A portion of the NVF parcel is still not suitable for housing because of the lingering impact of its previous use as a heavy industrial site. However, there are ways to make good use of the property.

One possibility, Poole said, is to have an aquatic center included in the plans.

Aquatic centers are very popular in many areas of the country right now, and the demographics of Kennett Square would suggest that it would be a good use here, too.

“We think this is a longterm home run project,” Poole said.

A question-and-answer session followed the presentation by Poole and Keener. Concerns were raised about the impact that the residential growth could have on schools.

Others said that they were worried about increased traffic in the area.

A question was raised about whether one target

Local News area for future growth was more important than all the others. The presenters explained that each area is important in its own right, so there wouldn’t be a need to prioritize one over another.

“You don’t have too much that’s missing for a town this size,” Poole explained. “People want to be here.”

Overall, Poole said, the Kennett Square region can expect to add between 600 and 1,150 housing units over a ten-year period.

Keener and Poole made it clear that the Kennett Square area has a number of strengths moving forward.

Overall, there is regional affluence that equates to a high level of spending power. The region is also fertile ground for entrepreneurs. Another strength is the number of affluent baby boomer households in the primary market area.

As these baby boomers increasingly retire from their jobs and contemplate downsizing, most will seek to remain within an hour of where they currently live.

The Kennett Square area is in a good position to attract these downsizing boomer households.

The study included an analysis of socio-economic trends in the region. There is a rising incidence of poverty, so in the future officials should “recognize the needs of this socioeconomic group.” There is also a demand for rental housing, and in the future there will be an increase in the number of smaller households.

Poole said that the study is intended to be a tool for local officials to utilize, and now that it is complete, local officials can start to work on laying the groundwork for future developments. The study included action plans and timelines for actions to be taken, which will serve as guidelines for local officials when they need them.

“This is the beginning for your communities,” Poole said. “This study is not to be put on a shelf. It is to be put into action.”

The increased collaboration between municipalities—particularly Kennett Square Borough and Kennett Township—will be vital to the effort. Kennett Square Borough mayor Matthew Fetick said that the strong relationship between the borough and township will be a major asset moving forward since it’s imperative for neighboring municipalities to work together on planning.

“We have a fantastic relationship between Kennett Square Borough and Kennett Township,” Fetick said.

This study, which was started in 2015, is a collaboration between Kennett Square Borough, Kennett Township, Historic Kennett Square, the Chester County Planning Commission, Genesis HealthCare, and Longwood Gardens.

A Vision Partnership Program grant from the county helped fund the report. The full study will be made available on Historic Kennett Square’s website once it is finalized.

That could occur as early as next week.

Refinancing...

Hostetler said the renovation work to the auditorium at Patton Middle School “is going very well. We are doing the finishes now.

We don’t anticipate any lingering problems. We anticipate about two weeks until completion. It looks tremendously different. You would not recognize it as the same auditorium.”

The issue of overbooking of the district’s gymnasiums was also addressed by Hostetler. “Every year we have a tremendous overload of use of our gym facilities, particularly in the winter months, by URA [Unionville Recreation Association]. It became a bit of a problem this year because we were having trouble housing a few of our school groups as well -- the high school indoor band front and indoor color guard. We had a meeting and agreed to allow URA to use the middle school gym for the same 11 Sundays that they

used the high school gym, and for the same hours or five hours each day. We are going to strive to cover both of those facilities with one custodian on those days.

“It appears now that we have gym space for everyone,” he continued. “There are other groups that request use of our gym facilities, and there are going to be some groups that we’ll have to turn down. It’s unfortunate, but we have six gyms, and we are really bursting at the seams in the winter months.”

The board had a lengthy discussion of its ongoing study of sleep needs for students, particularly at the high school. While the district has heard from students and experts about the necessity for longer sleep hours for adolescents, the formal study of the issue is in its formative stages.

Dave Listman, the director of technology and communications, said, “Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll add a resource onto our website to deal with

this issue and ask for questions people have. We will take those questions and give them to the presenters at upcoming meetings, and have them address those issues.

“We also have a subcommittee that is looking at where this delayed start time has been done before, where it has not been done before,” he added. “Making schedule changes has unintended consequences, not all of which are good. We want to get all the issues out on the table within the next month.”

Ken Batchelor, the assistant to the superintendent, is heading a committee that is looking at the issue. “I want the steering committee to look at what is out there regarding some of the districts that didn’t go with this. What is the different perspective that could be out there? We want to make sure that we’re representing that fairly. … No decisions have been made. We’re just preparing for how we want to tackle this issue.”

Uncle Irvin...

These council members are living on another planet to even think about a parking garage until a solution is reached on getting the OASA in a solvent condition. Borough Council needs to put the parking garage and every other financial outlay on hold until citizens know how they’re going to pay the piper!

You look for common sense in a leader, but sadly there is none on Oxford Borough Council.

(Uncle Irvin’s column is his opinion only, and is not a news story.)

District superintendent John Sanville summed up, saying, “Mr. Batchelor is chairing a committee. The board has approved a goal to investigate this and have administration make a recommendation to the board for action. It’s really important to let the community know about the plan to investigate this, what are the steps, and engage all opinions. I’m glad we’re going to do that in the next couple of weeks.

We’ve been talking about this amongst ourselves, and from a public perspective it doesn’t look like we’ve done anything. We need to make sure that everyone is engaged.”

The board will meet again on Sept. 19. For more information and updates, visit www.ucfsd.org.

Local youth raise funds for Family Promise Some children relax over the summer break, some learn new things, and others are hard at work serving their community. Family Promise of Southern Chester County was honored recently as one of the 2016 recipients of a donation from Our Children Making Change in Southern Chester County.

The community service program in Southern Chester County lets children, ages 5 to 16, perform age-appropriate chores and hold fundraising events such as bake sales, lemonade stands, bingo, and movie nights to raise money for local charities.

The children nominate and select four charities to support each summer.

The program currently has about 100 children who work during the summer months.

The Southern Chester County team is part of a growing organization where more than 2,000 children have helped their communities by contributing more than $300,000 to local charities, according to their website.

“Family Promise of Southern Chester County is honored to have been supported by this wonderful organization,” said Susan Minarchi, executive director. “Our Children Making Change is a great opportunity for children who are too young to volunteer to become active in their community.”

Finding inspiration in Kennett Square

State Sen. Killion introduces legislation that would allow beer distributors to apply for license to sell wine

During the Kennett football team’s first home game on Sept. 2, the Kennett school community honored Grayson Savery, a first-grader at New Garden Elementary, and his brother, Aydan, a second-grader at the school.

Grayson was diagnosed with a form of pediatric brain cancer, medullary fibrillary astrocytoma, on Oct. 31, 2012. Since that time, the Kennett community has been inspired by Grayson’s courageous fight against pediatric brain cancer. His tumor is enmeshed in the brain stem, the part of the base of the brain that is connected to the spinal cord and controls the flow of messages between the brain and the rest of the body.

Grayson underwent a total of 18 months of weekly chemotherapy at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. The tumor is currently stable. With all due respect to the football players on both the Kennett and Chichester football teams who were playing on Sept. 2, there was no question about who was the toughest person on the field when Grayson and Aydan led the home team out to mid-field for the start of the game.

The Savery brothers not only got to lead the football team on the field, there were special activities at halftime, too. Not only did the Kennett school community show its support for Grayson, the football team, cheerleaders, and the band from Chichester also presented the inspirational youngster with gifts.

The tribute to Grayson was also a timely reminder that September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

This is not the first time that the Kennett school community has united to support one of its own.

Just last spring, a high school student, John Paul Dean, was diagnosed with stage four nonHodgkins lymphoma, and the community rallied around him as well.

The Kennett school community’s actions were heartfelt and very classy—as they usually are.

While we’re on the subject of Kennett Square, it was a very busy week for the town. The third and final public forum regarding the economic development study took place last Thursday. The study, which is a collaboration between the borough and neighboring Kennett Township, described a community that is already strong and vibrant—and has a very bright future full of potential. Simply put, Kennett Square is a place where people want to locate their businesses, and it’s also a place that people want to call home.

It’s easy to understand why. The Kennett Square community is a very giving community. Consider that the wonderful Mushroom Festival, which took place this past weekend, not only showcases the town in a very positive way, it also raises money that is poured right back in the community to support dozens of non-profit organizations each year.

How generous and caring are the citizens of Kennett Square? Mayor Matthew Fetick said during the public forum that he was recently approached by a group wanting to start a new service organization. They asked about an area of need in the community, and Fetick said that he had a hard time coming up with one specific area of need because there are already 32 non-profit organizations currently at work that consistently provide services to local residents in need. That says a lot about the Kennett Square area.

At a news conference in Glen Mills, State Sen. Tom Killion (R-9) announced the introduction of Senate Bill 1359, which would level the playing field for hundreds of beer distributors throughout Pennsylvania who are now feeling the pressure of increased competition.

“Over the last few weeks we saw consumers welcome changes to Pennsylvania antiquated liquor laws. Unfortunately, hundreds of Pennsylvania beer distributors and small business owners were left out of those reforms and now must operate in an even more competitive environment,” said Sen. Killion.

Senate Bill 1359 provides over 1,200 Pennsylvania beer distributors with the opportunity to apply for a license to sell wine. The new license would offer parity to these small business owners and provide distributors with the same ability to sell wine that

was recently extended to grocery stores and other restaurant license holders in Act 39 of 2016. The new license allows distributors to purchase the license for $2,000 and permits them to sell up to four bottles of wine at a time.

“This proposal is critical for the survival of the hundreds of distributors across the state. Normally, Labor Day is one of our busiest times—this year we noticed a drop in traffic. Recent liquor law changes now allow grocery stores to sell wine and beer together, there is no logical reason distributors don’t have the same ability to sell both wine and beer,” said Steve Blaisse of D&I Beverage in Glen Mills.

“Senate Bill 1359 is a common sense measure that will help small businesses, which are crucial to our economy.

Pennsylvania beer distributors have invested thousands of dollars into

State Senator Tom Killion

their businesses and for years, and played by the crazy rules set by the state.

We cannot allow absurd regulation to drive distributors out of business and put thousands of people out of work,” concluded Senator Killion.

Act 39 of 2016 included a number of reforms demanded by consumers, including expanded hours of operation at state liquor stores and fewer

restrictions in relation to state-mandated holidays and Sunday operation. The act also allowed for online orders for wine, stores to create loyalty programs, distribute coupons, utilize flexible pricing options and offer new sales and discounts. It allowed for the limited sale of wine at select restaurants, hotels and grocery stores that purchase the proper licenses.

Chester County placed under a drought watch Five-percent voluntary water use reductions requested Chester County has been placed under a drought watch by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), according to the Chester County Water Resources Authority.

Earlier this week, the DEP issued a drought watch declaration for four Pennsylvania counties – Chester, Cumberland, Delaware and Philadelphia, due to low steam flows, declin-

ing groundwater levels and lack of precipitation.

This week’s declaration brings the number of Pennsylvania counties under drought watch to 38.

Under a drought watch, citizens are asked to voluntarily reduce nonessential water use by five percent. No mandatory water use restrictions are in place. The DEP recommends the following ways to reduce water use:

~ Run water only when necessary. Avoid running the faucet while brushing your teeth or shaving, or letting the shower run for several minutes before use. ~ Check for household leaks. A leaking toilet can waste up to 200 gallons of water each day. ~ Run dishwashers and washing machines only with full loads. ~ Replace older appliances with high-

efficiency, front-loading models that use about 30 percent less water and 40 to 50 percent less energy. ~ Install low-flow plumbing fixtures and aerators on faucets.

Information on drought watch and data on Chester County water levels can be found at www.chesco.org/water.

During the drought watch, county agencies will monitor the situation.

Bill would provide relief to vape shops hit by huge tax bills Senator Tom Killion (R-9) introduced legislation that would give businesses who sell electronic cigarettes and vape shop owners an extension on the time they have to pay a new tax, known as “a floor tax” that was enacted as part of this year’s budget revenue package.

Beginning on October 1, a 40 percent wholesale tax will be levied on all vapor products in Pennsylvania, including smoking devices and liquids. In addition, a 40 percent inventory tax must be paid by December 30. Killion said this tax could put many small businesses out of business, cost the state jobs, and hurt local economies.

“Since the enactment of Act 84 of 2016, I have been contacted by electronic cigarette and vape shop business owners throughout the 9th Senatorial District, who have expressed concerns with the 40 percent tax

imposed on electronic cigarettes and vaping equipment,” Killion said.

“They believe this tax is unfair, onerous and could force small businesses to close their doors. We need to address this situation now – before it is too late.”

Killion’s proposal would give shop owners more time to sell their inventory so that they can obtain revenue to pay the tax due or make alternative financing arrangements to meet their tax obligation.

“The floor tax forces some small business owners to pay the 40 percent tax on expensive hardware that they have not been able to liquidate. In some instances, vaporizers can sit on the shelves for several months. These small business owners see this as a significant burden, requiring a substantial amount of cash,” said Killion.

“Shop owners believe that the impact of the floor

tax is especially problematic because they do not move the vaping hardware inventory quickly,” said Shawn Rogers, owner of the Boogaloo Vape Shop, with two locations in Media and Boothwyn. He met with Senator Killion recently and shared his own personal experience.

“Since my meeting with Senator Killion, 50 shops have already closed their doors for business,” he added.

Killion said there are hundreds of these shops in

Pennsylvania that provide thousands of jobs and offer a service to customers.

“Senate Bill 1362 will help these small businesses, which contribute to our economy,” Killion said. “If these stores close, consumers will go to the Internet or out-of-state.

Pennsylvania will only lose that happens.”

Act 84 of 2016 was signed into law by the Governor on July 13, 2016.

This proposal would have no adverse budget implications.

A remembrance of lives lost Brandywine Battlefield ceremony honors the events of 1777 and 2001

By John Chambless Staff Writer The sharp crack of musket fire, the acrid scent of gunpowder and the tolling of a ceremonial bell brought the events of 1777 and 2001 together at the Brandywine Battlefield on the evening of Sept. 11.

Andrew Outten, the director of education and museum services for the historic site in Chadds Ford, welcomed dozens of people to the ceremony that started at 6 p.m.

“Today marks an important day in American history,” he said. “Not only is this to mark the tragic Tuesday on Sept. 11, 2001, but also to remember the brave men who died here at the Battle of Brandywine, the largest land battle of the American Revolution.

“At this time, around 6 p.m. on Sept. 11, 1777, if you had looked out onto

Reenactors fire a musket salute at the conclusion of the ceremony.

Route 1, you would have seen a frantic Continental retreat out of the area, as the British were crossing at the river and pushing Washington’s forces back from the north as well,” Outten said. “Although this was a major loss for the Continentals, the troops were in good spirits as they retreated to Chester later that night, and the army was still intact. We

were able to go on to win the American Revolution.”

Choir members from the Brandywine Baptist Church, which sits next to the battlefield, led the audience in singing the National Anthem and “My Country ‘tis of Thee.”

that outlined the events of Sept. 11, 1777. “I am sorry to inform you, that in this day’s engagement, we have been obliged to leave the enemy masters of the field,” Closs read.

“Though we fought under many disadvantages and were obliged to retire, our loss of men is not, I am persuaded, very considerable. I believe much less than the enemy’s.

State Rep. Steve Barrar spoke at the event.

… Notwithstanding the fortunes of the day, I am happy to find the troops in good spirits. I hope at another time we will compensate for the losses now sustained.”

Members of the family of Rev. Marcos Almonte,

of Bradywine Baptist, rang a ceremonial bell 15 times to commemorate the 15 years that have passed since the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Almonte then stood at the podium to offer a remembrance prayer.

“We remember the tremendous Battle of the Brandywine, a battle which we lost. But we remember that while the battle was lost, the war was won,” Almonte said.

“We also remember today the many lives that were lost in 2001, when because of this freedom that we all share, we were attacked in an act of cowardice. We remember those lives lost, and those lost in the years since. We ask, God, that as we remember 15 years, that you do not remove your divine protection that has been with us for so many years. We ask in the same way that George Washington prayed, in his own words, as he said, ‘I now make it my earnest prayer that God would most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility.’”

State Rep. Steve Barrar spoke next, telling the crowd, “Americans have always understood the cost of war. Not only in 1777, but also in 2001. Our country is the vanguard of freedom and opportunity around the world, and our first priority will always be to defend it. … The Battle of Brandywine depicts the courage and dedication that we feel for our nation, and our relentless aspiration to always fight back. This day also marks the largest terrorist attack on innocent civilians on American soil.

It was a day that our nation saw evil at its very worst.

But we united as a people, we upheld our beliefs, and we prevailed.

“Today and every day, we need to remind ourselves to uphold the values of America,” Barrar said. “I ask you to join me in faith that we will prevail over this evil that currently infects our world.”

Revolutionary War re-enactors stood solemly during the remarks, and then walked to a nearby field to fire their muskets three times in a salute to the fallen of long ago, and of 2001.

Skateboarders compete at Elwood Crossan State Park

By John Chambless Staff Writer The afternoon of Sept. 10 was hot and steamy, but that didn’t stop skateboarders from as far away as Virginia, New Hampshire and Colorado from competing in the fourth annual Rip the Elwood Longboard Competition at Elwood L. Crossan State Park in Landenberg.

The path that weaves through the park is a big draw for competitors, and event organizer Rob Wheeler reported that the top three with the fastest times in the Juniors (17 and younger) and Open division took home prizes from event sponsors.

“A new event at Rip the Elwood was a grueling uphill push race from the bottom parking lot to the entrance of the park,” Wheeler said. “Then we had our BoarderCross Time Trial race, where riders had to navigate through tight turns, air over ramps and ride through the grass to make it to the finish.

“Our last event was the Slide Jam, which is the premier event at Rip the Elwood,” Wheeler continued. “Riders in Junior and Open division competed in 30-minute heats to lay down their best freestyle tricks to impress the crowds and judges. We narrowed the heats down to five riders in the finals, where they each got two solo runs to decide who would stand on the podium. The Slide Jam portion of this event

is part of a new longboard tournament series called the Faceplant Freestyle Cup, where riders will compete in our next two events to gain points by placing in the top 10. At the last event, the top three riders with the most points will win cash.”

Wheeler said the event was another success “that bought out the local community as well as the far-flung longboard community. We had a Blendlife food truck there serving healthy food options to fuel our bodies so we could last the entire hot day. Families and young kids enjoyed the high-speed action and positive attitudes from all the skaters. The event always seems to leave people with a contagious buzz that brings them back to our events for more, which is why we will definitely be hosting a fifth annual Rip the Elwood longboard

competition in September 2017.”

Franklin Township Board of Supervisors chairman John Auerbach attended the event again this year, and said, “All the participants were well-behaved, respectful, and put on a great performance.

Although it was a competition, participants displayed great camaraderie. Rob’s group

treats our park with respect and always leaves the place clean -- not a scrap of litter or debris to be seen. They have demonstrated this behavior over the past four years and will always be welcomed back with their event.”

His friend and fellow Rotarian Matt Grieco, of the Grieco Family Funeral Homes, started a Gofundme account for Grimes in November 2015. In an interview at that time, Grieco said, “In the borough, he’s always been available to other small businesses with help, collaboration and various initiatives. In Rotary, he volunteers and donates financially to various causes as they arise -- like his own situation -- and in business, he has consistent promotional programs, especially at the salon, where a percentage of every sale goes to local causes, such as the Senior Center, Kennett High School cheerleaders, and the Kennett Food Bank.

“By being a business owner in the downtown, he’s helping grow, maintain and preserve small-town America,” Grieco continued.

who is investigating the case. Grimes is later seen on the video retrieving the video camera, according to Rosado’s affidavit.

According to published reports, Grimes was interviewed by Rosado on May 12, confessed to the crime, and was arrested on June 30. His bail was originally set at $100,000 but was reduced to $15,000 on Aug. 1. He posted bail on Aug. 1. He is awaiting trial in Chester County Common Pleas Court.

He is now facing charges of endangering the welfare of children and invasion of privacy.

In his criminal complaint, Rosado wrote that Grimes asked a friend to get a video camera from a drawer in the Artworks shop. Grimes could not walk as the result of being seriously injured in a car crash on Nov. 11, 2015 that spurred a communitywide effort to raise funds for him.

The friend saw what was on the video, made a copy of it as evidence, and returned the camera to Grimes, Rosado said.

The video was given to Kennett Square Police in April. Grimes has said he did not distribute the video.

“The idea of worKS didn’t arrive at a particular moment or as a thunderclap, but through the realization of knowing that there is an abundance of talent here,” said Dugan, who has owned Scout & Annie on State Street since 2011. “It was really just the wish to bring them all to one place, to a forward-thinking town that embraces creativity and change. Essentially, here was a body of talent, and a community that was waiting for it.”

Dugan approached each vendor with an invitation to join the concept of a retail location.

This is a group of experts – seasoned professionals – and most already have brick and mortar stores in other areas,” she said.

“They have different talents and skills, and they get to experience each others’ inventory.”

Getting ready for the Unionville Community Fair A new treasurer for the fair

By John Chambless Staff Writer When the future of the Unionville Fair was in doubt in February, Jeff Lewis stepped up with Deb Deckman, even though he was relatively new to the area. Lewis is the new treasurer for the fair, keeping an eye on the bottom line of the annual event.

He recently answered a few questions about how he came to take his new position.

Q.: What have people said to you since you stepped up to help save the fair? Are they appreciative?

A.: I have had numerous “thank you’s” and people showing their appreciation that I volunteered to serve as treasurer to keep the fair going in 2016 and beyond.

What role does the fair play in the Chester County community, as far as it being a family tradition?

Personally, when my wife and I moved to Chester County in 2013, we started going to the fair. The event is endearing for the community. It reminds me of the Washington County (Pa.) fair that I grew up attending.

As I have become involved this year, I have met people with connections to the fair

Jeff Lewis and his wife, Debbie.

going back three and four generations.

What economic role does it play -- in other words, how much money comes in and goes out as part of the budget?

The fair is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We balanced the fair’s budget at just over six figures this year. In addition to paying our vendors, you’ll see additional value return to the community by way of the awards we pay to winners of the agricultural and craft contents, education programs offered at the fair, school class trips to the fair on Friday, and more.

What’s your favorite part of the fair?

There is something for everyone at the fair. My favorite event at the fair has been the rodeo. It is

Willowdale Pro Rodeo finds a new home

The big event is moved to Oct. 8 at the Brandywine Polo Club

By John Chambless Staff Writer The Willowdale Pro Rodeo was a big event right out of the gate in 2011, when firstclass rodeo thrills came to the Unionville Fair. Crowds packed the arena again and again until 2015, when a deluge caused the cancellation of the rodeo.

Organizers saw that changes needed to be made, and this year, the rodeo has moved off-site to the Brandywine Polo Club grounds in Toughkenamon on Oct. 8, the weekend after the fair.

For Ray Shea, Jr., the decision to relocate the fair’s headline event made sense, and he’s hoping that the public follows the Willowdale Rodeo to its new home.

Shea recently answered some questions about the rodeo’s move.

Q.: What’s your connection with the rodeo?

A.: I co-chair the Rodeo Committee with Jayne Shea (my wife) and Sally Yacka (who is also an executive fair board member). The three of us have chaired the rodeo since it began in 2011, with this being our sixth year.

What led to the decision to move the Willowdale Rodeo this year?

Moving the location was primarily due to footing issues.

The arena at the Steeplechase property had drainage issues.

Therefore, when it rained, it made the conditions unsafe.

It was difficult to maintain the arena when it rained. Our primary concern is the safety of our contestants, their livestock and, of course, our spectators.

The Polo Club, however, has an equestrian arena that has proper footing, as well as good drainage for our purposes.

The stands provide improved viewing for our spectators.

We are fortunate that Dixon Stroud, who supports the fair at the Steeplechase property, was able to pave the way for us to move the event to the Polo Club. This location is convenient for patron parking, food vendor set-up, and provides easy access from Route 1 for contestants and spectators.

What other benefits come from moving the location and date?

At this location, it will be a daytime event, with the slack to take place at 10 a.m. and the main event at 2 p.m. The time change should be a benefit with the weather growing colder at night in October. We loved having it on-site, but the challenges of the safety of the footing became imperative to address. We are a nationally sanctioned event, and therefore are obligated to meet certain standards.

Will the riders and competition be the same as they were at the new location?

Yes. The event is open to the same group of contestants it always has been, which is not limited to just our area.

We have contestants from all over the USA that compete in our event. This will be the first points event for the 2017 rodeo season, which culminates at the First Frontier Circuit Finals at the 2018 Pennsylvnia Farm Show in Harrisburg, which is a regional competition. The five regional competitions move to nationals in Las Vegas in February. Contestants enjoy the opportunity to compete at our event, since it provides them a chance to get a jumpstart on points for the upcoming season.

Painted Pony Championship Rodeo of Lake Luzerne, N.Y., remains our stock contractor, as in years past.

We rely on community sponsorships, both monetary and in-kind, as well as an allvolunteer staff. Our proceeds benefit the UCF and its beneficiaries. Sponsors are still being sought for this year’s event, and we’d like to thank all of our previous sponsors, without whom we would not be able to hold our event.

wholesome entertainment that my entire family enjoys.

What changes would you like to see in the fair’s attractions or layout or offerings?

We are making a few notable changes this year, including the addition of more music, moving the rodeo offsite and to the following weekend, and bringing in some new exhibit attractions.

What has been the most challenging aspect of taking over your new role at the fair?

There are so many persons contributing to run the fair successfully; getting to know all the people and their respective roles while everyone is running at 100 miles per hour has been the most challenging.

What have been the rewards?

I have enjoyed forming new, local relationships that I would not have otherwise.

I work largely outside the community and this volunteer work has allowed me to contribute close to home.

Will you be at this year’s fair every day?

Yes, I will be at the fair every day this year.

A new president steps up Deb Deckman of West Grove is happy to lead this year

By John Chambless Staff Writer In February, the Unionville Fair came as close as possible to being canceled forever.

At a last-minute community “Save the Fair” meeting on Feb. 17, Deb Deckman stepped forward and agreed to serve as the fair board’s next president, and Jeff Lewis agreed to serve as the fair’s next treasurer.

Deckman lives in West Grove but has deep roots in Unionville and the fair. Her husband Matthew’s grandparents were part of the fair since the beginning. Grandmother Laura (Case) Deckman was the fourth Unionville Fair Queen.

Many fairgoers remember Fred Deckman’s Matchbox cars.

Matthew Deckman’s parents are Joe and Lori (Johnson), both Unionville grads.

As plans were gearing up for the 2016 fair, Deckman answered a few questions about how she has become involved in the annual tradition.

Q.: What have people said to you since you stepped up to help save the fair? Are they appreciative?

A.: Many members of the community have reached out to me to thank me for dedicating my time in this role – most noteworthy, a letter from Andrew Dinniman, the State Senator for the 19th District. Personally, the greatest compliment came in the form of sincere appreciation from generations of the Deckman family, who have had involvement in the fair since the very beginning. The Deckman family has always upheld the motto “service before self.” My and Matt’s goal as parents is

to also instill this in our three children, leading by example.

What role does the fair play in the Chester County community, as far as it being a family tradition?

Dozens of families I know attend the fair annually. Since I took over as president, many parents have shared their experiences with the fair since they were young children. They express how happy they are to share those same memories with their children. It is interesting to swap stories and discover how so many memories are shared between friends, families, and community members. Because the fair has been running for so long, these memories spread across multiple generations – five generations in my own family.

What’s your favorite part of the fair?

Short of all of the wonderful events, my favorite part of the fair is seeing the community of volunteers come together and donate their time. In a world full of chaos and upset, it is refreshing to be humbled by true human nature that is good and realizes the importance of community.

What changes would you like to see in the fair’s attractions or layout or offerings?

Our goal is to revitalize the fair while upholding the purpose of the promotion and education of Agriculture, Agribusiness, Homemaking, Handcrafts and the Arts.

It strives to encourage and stimulate interest and involvement of the people of the Unionville-Chadds

Deb Deckman

Ford area in the growth, production, selection and exhibition of products through an educational community activity. In the works this year are an addition of a tiny home, a very exciting exhibit that will appeal to multiple generations.

What has been the most challenging aspect of taking over your new role at the fair?

Learning the ropes! While I do have experience on being on a board of directors, specifically for a non-profit organization, the Unionville Community Fair has a larger volunteer base than anything I have ever been a part of. Coordinating efforts and leaning on those that have led in the past is a requirement, and a blessing.

What have been the rewards?

The outpouring of feedback on all of the changes we are striving to make has been very positive. Not only are community members excited that the fair will continue, but that it will be revitalized and taken into its 100th year successfully.

Will you be at this year’s fair every day?

Every day!

Penn Township and hospital join forces for Health & Wellness Community Picnic

By Nancy Johnson Correspondent At the Penn Township Board of Supervisors meeting last week, the supervisors discussed plans for the 12th annual Health & Wellness Community Picnic, which is presented by Penn Township and Jennersville Regional Hospital. The free event will be held in Penn’s park from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sept. 24.

In her report on the picnic, Karen Versuk, the township’s director of operations, cited the record number of donations already received.

“People want to participate and contribute,” Versuk said.

“It’s really refreshing to see this in a community.”

Jesse Garron’s Live Elvis

Tribute, as well as the Larry Tucker Band, will entertain the crowds from the pavilion.

Topping the list of kids’ favorites are Jungle John, an obstacle course, hay rides, the Philadelphia Union Mobile Tour soccer game, facepainting and more. The health and wellness screenings will again be offered by Jennersville Regional Hospital. West Grove Fire and Ambulance and Medic 94 will attend as well.

Versuk said there are a number of new vendors, but as always, nothing is to be sold at the event. Among the newcomers are Canine Partners for Life, Project Cure, and Family Promise of Southern Chester County.

Due to the big response at Penn’s Safety Day event in April, Sycamore International is returning to offer free electronics recycling in the hospital parking lot.

Versuk told the board about a request by the YMCA to use the park for a Fun Run on Oct. 22. The event would be held in conjunction with a 5K. “I have a few issues, specifically parking, parking personnel, and bathroom facilities,” she said. “I need these answered before I can respond.”

Another concern is that the township is holding its Halloween event the next day.

“We had 1,000 people attend last year, and I don’t want to have a mess right before it,” she said.

“We need a few more details,” said Curtis Mason, chairman of the Board of Supervisors. “Make sure they understand we want to be good neighbors, but we can’t have it interfere with our event the next day.”

Road master Don Urban reported to the board that the salt shed, which will be used to store materials for winter road maintenance, is nearly complete.

Township resident Jeffrey Heavener addressed the board informally on behalf of himself and his business partner, Benjamin Neufeld. They are researching the possibility of opening a brewery and tap room, 858 Brewing Company, in part of the original Dansko

Mason informed Heavener and the audience that, legally, the board could not comment on such a presentation until a formal application is received.

The township newsletter has just been completed and will be mailed to residents and local businesses. It can also be found on the township’s

website. Stories in this issue include the Red Rose Inn, Camp Sunny Day, the picnic, the Jennersville Road/ Baltimore Pike intersection, recent improvements to the community park, and a thanks to the young people who helped out with all sorts of jobs in the park and office this summer.

Cannery Row project set to move forward in Kennett Square

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer The Cannery Row project in Kennett Square is a step closer to a groundbreaking after a conditional-use hearing took place on Tuesday, Sept. 6. After the hearing, Kennett Square Borough Council unanimously approved a series of five waivers that move the project closer to final approval.

The mixed-use project, which includes retail space, office space, restaurant space, and luxury apartments, is planned for a 5.2-acre site in the southwest corner of the borough, near the corner of Cypress Street and South Mill Road. Most of the property—about 3.9 acres—is situated in Kennett Township, while the remaining 1.3 acres is in the borough on a parcel that is already zoned C-2. The site, which is in the area of Victory Brewing and Magnolia Place was formerly the home of SunnyDell Foods Mushroom Cannery. A fire took place at the site a decade ago and SunnyDell Foods subsequently moved its operations to Oxford.

Mary Ann Rossi, an attorney with the MacElree Harvey law firm in West Chester, assisted Mike Pia, Jr. with the presentation at the conditionaluse hearing. Pia, the vice president of Kennett Square Realty, is serving as the agent for Cannery Row Properties, L.P., the developer for the project.

Kennett Square Borough Council previously approved a conditional-use plan for the Cannery Row project, but when the engineering work was completed, some changes were needed. Pia outlined some of those changes that have been introduced since borough council approved the original conditional-use plan.

The plans originally included four distinct buildings on the site—three in Kennett Square Borough and one, a large office building, in Kennett Township.

The mixed-use project initially included 11,000 square feet of retail space and 3,000 square feet of restaurant space, as well as a three-story building with one floor of retail space and two floors of luxury apartments.

According to the new plans, there will still be three buildings in the borough and one in township, but the sizes of the buildings have been changed slightly—overall, there is a slight decrease in the total square footage of the buildings.

This will allow for more green space on the property.

For the entire site, there are 127 parking spaces included in the plans, which is what is required by the regulations of both the borough and the township.

Rossi characterized the changes that were made as being fairly modest in scope.

At one point during the hearing, she asked Pia, “Do you anticipate any more changes?”

“I do not foresee any more changes,” Pia replied.

Borough council unanimously approved the waivers. Council president Dan Maffei noted the council would

have the opportunity to attach conditions to the project, if necessary, at the time the final plans are considered.

Pia said that the project is slightly closer to final approval in Kennett Township than in the borough. He also said that the site construction could get underway as soon as the plans are signed, and the building construction would start shortly after that.

In other business at the meeting, there was brief discussion about some zoning

ordinance changes that could be proposed in the near future.

Borough officials may take a look at its conditional-use process, and whether a more streamlined process is possible.

Borough officials could also make changes to the lighting ordinance, which has some technical issues that need to be addressed.

Borough council approved the Special Event applications for the Homecoming Parade on Sept. 29 and the Halloween Parade on Oct. 30, and the

Holiday Village on Dec. 3 and 4.

There was a lengthy discussion about a request for a demolition permit for a building at 515 South Broad Street. The borough’s Historic Architectural Review Board wanted borough council to table the issue so that the request could undergo further review. Council initially agreed to the request, but during public comment, Patrick Taylor, a former council member who owns the property, expressed concerns that delaying the work created a serious safety issue as

trespassers had been sneaking into the property from time to time. Taylor said that bringing the building down sooner rather than later was the only way to ensure that no one would get hurt in the building. Based on the safety concerns, council reconsidered its decision and approved the demolition permit—even though several council members were clearly reluctant not to allow the Historic Architectural Review Board the time it needed to do its work.

Mayor Matthew Fetick announced that the Borough of Kennett Square is looking for a borough resident to join the Chief of Police Search Committee that was recently established. Anyone interested in being considered for the committee should email Fetick at MayorFetick@ KennettSquarePolice.org for more information.

A world of deep emotions, expressed in paint and metal

By John Chambless Staff Writer Katee Boyle’s paintings are room-filling statements, layered and scratched and inscrutable. Her metal sculptures turn flimsy garments into armor, scorched and dented and noble. And neither of them will match your colonial décor.

“Abstract is such a dirty word, especially around here,” Boyle said with a sigh.

“Fortunately, my work, in the past two years, has found its niche with people who enjoy contemporary art.”

The dual avenues of Boyle’s art – densely textured paintings and metal sculptures that resonate with layers of meaning – began

when she was growing up in Chadds Ford. “My dad was the business administrator for the Kennett School District.

He saw what I was doing and encouraged it. And my mom, too. She was always writing and doodling,” Boyle recalled. She went to Unionville schools through eighth grade, then to Padua High School in Wilmington, and took an early leap at 15 with early college courses in New York City’s Fashion Institute of Technology.

“I was always painting,” she said. “When I was little, when I’d get crayons, I would always go straight to the black one because I really like hard lines. My mom used to think I was upset or depressed,” Boyle added, laughing. “I just liked

These metal boxes are titled ‘She’s Come Undone’ and ‘Stoic.’

to show my presence. I was extremely shy and grew up in a family of seven kids.

Drawing was my voice.”

She first got an associate’s degree in illustration, transferred to the School of Visual Arts and got a graduate degree in fine arts painting. “Sculpturally, I did a lot of box building in wood and ceramics, but not metal,” she said. “My objective was to build the surfaces of my paintings. I would attach things to the canvases.”

Her first show out of college was curated by renowned artist Marilyn Minter. “I had a series of dresses that I had created and hardened, so they stood on their own, or were attached to canvases,” Boyle said. “And I would write on them. It’s funny, my work has evolved, but it hasn’t changed over the last 25 years. It’s the same subject matter, but I’ve just matured it.”

Living and working in New York City for 13 years, she got jobs as a freelance advertising illustrator, worked on set production for film shoots, spent some time modeling, and worked for the MAC Cosmetics company.

“I ended up working with MAC for 11 years. I started out as a makeup artist, and then I ended up in operations and events,” she said. “That was a lot of fun. I taught people how to operate their businesses, which was really strange, but maybe that came from my dad – that business sense. It all plays into what I do now with marketing my own work.”

Her winding career path eventually led her back to Philadelphia. She now lives in Chester County with her three children, ages 6, 8 and 10, five minutes away from her parents, and nearby her six brothers and sisters.

After she drops her children at school, she is free to work on her art from 9 to 3:30.

And her new work space is the kind of once-in-alifetime opportunity that she

still can’t believe is hers.

“Three years ago, I started going to the art show at Scarlett Thicket Farm,” Boyle said. The gathering of contemporary artists has grown from being a casual art party to being one of the biggest events of the year for artists who don’t paint pictures of barns and horses.

The historic farm, owned by Peter Welling, has a huge barn that for one weekend a year is turned into an art salon where artists meet and mingle with people who appreciate art that takes a chance.

“I thought, ‘Oh my God, I’ve found my people,’” Boyle said with a smile. “I had tried to network locally and get into galleries before, and got some advice that I should try and exhibit at some local craft shows. I said, ‘Are you out of your mind? Have you looked at my artist resume?’

But I get it. I don’t have a horse or a barn in my work.

I feel like I spent the last few years starting over again, and that’s OK. I’m in a really good place and I had to earn it out here.”

In her large-scale paintings, Boyle starts by writing on the surfaces, then painting over, scratching out, adding textures and faded patterns and then deliberately obscuring a few things. “I work in layers. I’ve had people who bought my work 20 years ago and they’re still seeing new things in them,” she said. “Sometimes people want to know the stories behind them, and I don’t tell them. I want them to get a memory of their own from my work. Whatever they get out of them is fine.”

A few years ago, Boyle took the advice of fellow artist Lele Galer and took a welding workshop with Kennett Square artist Stan Smokler. “He had a space in one of his classes, so I took it.

It takes me a while to process things. Rather than weld the metal together, I wanted to shape the metal,” Boyle said.

Boyle’s metal sculptures echo the female form, but are made of metal, like battle-worn armor.

Katee Boyle will be setting up her own forge and studio at Scarlett Thicket Farm near Kennett Square.

“At the end of the week, Stan suggested that I go work with a blacksmith. I had no idea what a blacksmith was. That was in 2014.”

For the past two years, Boyle has been working with Kennett Square blacksmith Rob Sigafoos to refine her skills with forging, anvils and hammers. It’s the same creative process she uses in her paintings, she said, only metal sculpting involves more sweat and muscle strain.

“The reason I do sculpture is to bring elements out of my paintings,” she said.

“Because when I look at my paintings, every line, every mark, indicates something to me or tells a story. But I didn’t want to do abstract sculptures. I wanted to make sure they were recognizable forms.

“When I paint, I work on three or four pieces at a time,” she said. “I have all my canvases on the floor and I go around and around, and come out hours later and it’s like I’m in a trance.

Your mind can go completely elsewhere. I don’t go in with a plan. But with metal, it’s completely the opposite, you have to be completely aware of every move you make, of every turn. The steel heats to about 1,200 degrees before it’s white hot and forgeable, and you have to be really alert or you will get seriously injured.”

Boyle’s sculptures are variations on corsets or other garments, but forged out of steel. Their surfaces are scuffed and blackened and dented, sometimes patched.

They are not sexy. They look like armor after a battle, and

viewers react accordingly.

“Like all clothing, it’s protective, and becomes a form that tells a story of a person who once existed inside it,” she said. “The forms are memory keepers, honoring the past or even like ‘If these walls could talk’ narratives. But I wanted to soften the steel. I wanted to make it look like leather or fabric. I’ve always been drawn to textiles. It’s definitely a female form.

But it’s not forged fashion.

I wanted to keep them sculptural.

“I call all my work artifacts. It’s all pieces of my story, maybe embellished a bit. People who are drawn to it see a reflection of themselves in my work.

They see it as soulful, or honest.”

Boyle’s metal boxes on pedestals are seemingly riveted together, with gaps and dents, hinges and locks.

They hint at the secrets they may contain, but give nothing away. “These are called ‘Stoic’ and ‘She’s Come Undone,’” Boyle said of two of the boxes. “I call them both ‘The Girls.’”

Like her paintings,Boyle’s sculptures are bold, openended invitations to take a journey. And they are meant to be touched, which Boyle said is something art patrons are very reluctant to do.

Her ongoing series of bird-like metal masks recall the plague masks seen in the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch, and evoke all sorts of lingering mystery and evil.

“They’re not pretty by any means, but people are drawn to them,” Boyle said.

‘Scarborough Days’ looks back at local artist’s legacy

By John Chambless Staff Writer

There’s a warm-spirited quality to all of Paul Scarborough’s works, and his many collectors have always responded with dedication and a sincere love of his views of local places. Walking into the Chadds Ford Gallery, you’re struck by the overall tone of summer light and delicate blooms in the places that Scarborough knew best.

This will likely be the last, largest show of original works from Scarborough, who passed away in 2014. These new studio discoveries and rarely seen paintings will go fast, so collectors are advised to get to the gallery early. There will be an opening reception on Sept.

16 from 5 to 8 p.m.

In contrast to the prevailing warmth of most of these paintings, “Snow Day” is a large watercolor of gray-blue pavement and gray trees that was painted within a few hundred feet of the gallery. It has a splendid, icy chill.

A newly uncovered watercolor autumn view of the Kennett Meetinghouse has a great ruddy glow, and “Pink Dogwood and Azaleas” is a floral expanse done in glorious pinks and purples.

Scarborough was a devotee of fishing, and there’s a nice stillness to the creekside fisherman in “Opening Day By the Bridge.”

‘Crossed Paths.’

“Summer at Hillhurst Farm” has friendly-looking cows, a dairy barn and outbuildings, and the painting benefits from not being prettied up. There’s nothing glamorous about this barn.

“Going to the Chapel” is a large autumn view of a church birdhouse on a pole, with a directional sign pointing the way down a dirt road. The piece was done on the Frolic Weymouth property, so it’s a rarely seen bit of Chester County, and immediately captures your attention.

The acrylic “Pumpkins at HG’s” makes great use of the medium, with the tiny orange dots of pumpkins in a field, a forklift carrying a huge box of pumpkins to market, and a delicately rendered expanse of trees and hill, just slightly touched by autumn colors.

“Unionville Sunset” has a beautifully rendered sky, house and barn dwarfed by a mass of dried cornstalks in the foreground. It’s only after a moment that you pick out the tiny birds dotted amid the stalks. It’s a high point of the show.

“Crossed Paths” is a muted landscape that’s packed with detail, and “Pilot Station, For The Bay and River Delaware - Lewes” shows the distinctive flagpole and shingled exterior of the elegant building in full, brilliant sunshine.

Few artists understood

the appeal of this region like Scarborough, and his works are a testament to both his skill as a painter and his eye as a documentarian of places that matter.

“Scarborough Days” will be on view at the Chadds Ford Gallery (Route 1, Chadds Ford) from Sept. 16 to Oct. 2.

Hours are Tuesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.

Unionville tennis team’s season off to a strong start

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer Year in and year out, the Unionville Indians tennis team ranks among the elite in the highly competitive Ches-Mont League.

Unionville is certainly off to a strong start in 2016, improving its record to 5-0 overall and 4-0 in league play with a victory over the Oxford tennis team on Sept. 8.

The Unionville squad is deep and talented. Head coach Janet Johnston has the opportunity to pencil in Sophie Wilks at first singles. Wilks captured the Ches-Mont League American Division Singles Championship last year as a junior, and she is once again one of the top players in the area. She’s also a senior captain on the Unionville team this season.

“She’s been doing a great job of leading the team,” Johnston explained, noting that Unionville’s toughest part of the schedule begins within the next two weeks.

That will sharpen Wilks’ play as she prepares for the league and district singles championships next month.

Eliza Wilks, Sophie’s sister, is a sophomore standout on the Unionville squad. Against Oxford,

Eliza was moved up to first singles to face Oxford’s top player, Paige Troutman.

Johnston said that she likes to move her players up, whenever possible, to give them the experience of playing against the higher level of competition. Eliza has been moved up to first singles a few times this season and has turned in strong performances.

“She’s been playing really well this season,” Johnston explained. “We like to give her that opportunity to move up to first singles as often as we can.”

The Unionville coach said that she sees some similarities between how Sophie and Eliza play.

“They both hit a hard ball, and they play with more of an aggressive style, so I do see similarities,” she said.

Eliza utilized her diverse game to earn a 6-1, 6-0 win over Troutman.

Eliza managed a service break to start the match, but Troutman came right back and returned the favor. Eliza’s solid return game helped her take a 2-1 lead in the first set. A few minutes later, a clean forehand winner put Eliza up 4-1.

Troutman also demonstrated a versatile game, and made her opponent work hard for the

Four OASD schools collaborate to cure diabetes at The JDRF Kids Walk Program The Oxford Area School District (OASD) will have four schools participating in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Kids Walk to Cure Diabetes program that is set for Tuesday, Oct. 18.

Nottingham Elementary was the first school from OASD to participate in such a program back in 2013, and then Hopewell joined in the effort in 2015. Now, two additional schools, Elk Ridge and Penn’s Grove, have joined in the special campaign. They are part of growing list of schools nationwide that are part of the initiative to cure, treat, and prevent type 1 diabetes.

Each day, 40 children are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the United States alone.

That’s equivalent to an entire classroom of students each and every day. On Oct. 18, students, staff, and families from all four schools in Oxford will walk around the track on the school campus as the final effort in the 2016 fundraising campaign for JDRF. On Oct. 4, the students and faculty from all four participating schools will learn how they can make a difference in the lives all the people affected by type 1 diabetes.

Between Oct. 4 and the day of the walk, the schools will be fundraising for JDRF

in various ways, such as selling JDRF paper sneakers for donations and collecting funds online.

These fundraising efforts will be kicked off at the schools with an assembly covering diabetes, healthy eating and exercise, and fundraising tips.

The school district currently supports thirteen students living with type 1 diabetes through this initiative. The JDRF Kids Walk program is an educational, in-school fundraising program with two goals: to educate students about type 1 and type 2 diabetes and the importance of a healthy lifestyle, and to provide them with an opportunity to make a difference by raising money for research.

This year marks the fourth Kids Walk campaign for Nottingham Elementary and the first that the four schools will be joining in the fundraising campaign.

Collectively, the Oxford Area School District has raised over $35,000 in support of the program.

points.

Oxford coach John Green said that Troutman, a senior, has been a threeyear varsity player for the squad. For the last two seasons, she usually plays at first singles for Oxford, and does a good job with

the difficult assignment.

“The Ches-Mont League is tough, especially at first singles,” Green explained.

He added that Troutman has worked hard to improve her serve and her footwork, which has allowed her to stay in on a lot of points.

She also has the right mental approach to the game.

“Her attitude,” Green said, “has always been awesome.”

In addition to the win

by Wilks, Unionville’s Arushi Sahay won at

second singles over Abby Boohar, and Unionville’s Emily Poprick won at third singles over Kaitlin Bell.

Unionville also won the four doubles contests.

This fall, Boyle is putting final touches on her new workshop and gallery space.

She was invited by Peter Welling to take over an unused outbuilding at Scarlett Thicket Farm to convert into her own metal-working studio. “It’s a dream to get to work here,” she said of the huge expanse of land, on the other side of the barn from Welling’s home.

“Peter is a gracious host and a huge supporter of the arts.

I’m fortunate. I have autonomy here. I work really well by myself.”

Boyle will take commissions, and she can turn out metal hardware, hinges and hooks to order. “Everything’s a learning opportunity,” she said. “My work at the forge will be both utilitarian and fine art. I did my own twist on bottle openers, I do a whole lot of hooks. I’ve done railings and table legs. I’ve done some historical reproductions.

I have some good functional commissions waiting.”

But Boyle also has a growing community of fans and buyers who appreciate the distinctive direction of her art. “It’s been great,” she said. “They see what

I see.”

This November, Boyle will join Hive Contemporary at the SOFA show in Chicago, which should, as she said, “be a gamechanger” for her work. Boyle’s work is offered locally through Salt + Stone in Kennett Square, East Cote Lane in Devon, Philter in Kennett Square, and Shish Interiors in Wilmington,
