Kennett Square Borough unveils preliminary budget for 2020 As of now, no tax increase will be necessary to balance the spending plan

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer Kennett Square Borough officials offered a first look at the proposed budget for 2020, and as of now there is no tax increase anticipated.

During the Nov. 4 council meeting, Kennett Square Borough Manager Joseph Scalise outlined the proposed general fund budget that totals $5,051,439. For the 2019 budget, the expenditures were projected to be $4,904,409, so year-to-year expenditures are expected to increase slightly.

Scalise said that the 2020 budget will not require a tax increase, and there are no increases in water, sewer, or solid waste fees, either.

The borough manager outlined some of the items that impacted the borough’s budget. He noted that the borough retired about $1 million in debt during 2019.

Additionally, the borough saved about $226,000 by refinancing some of its outstanding debt, which helps to offset some year-to-year

increases in expenditures for 2019 and 2020.

The borough also completed the sale of the Weinstein lot to the Kennett Library, which generated revenues for the borough.

Looking forward to 2020, Scalise said that the budget includes a two-percent increase in salaries for uniformed personnel, which is contracted. There is also a three-percent increase in salaries for the staff that is not contracted. Health insurance costs are going up by seven percent, the borough manager explained.

One of the larger projects that the borough is planning to undertake in 2020 is the Birch Street project that has estimated engineering and construction costs of $710,000. The borough received a $500,000 Community Revitalization Program grant to offset these costs.

The borough is also allocating $184,000 for paving program.

Based on the projected budget, Scalise said, Kennett

Square Borough will retire an additional $1.17 million in debt during the next year.

If the budget gets approved as is, without a tax increase, the millage rate will remain at 6.75 mills.

Scalise said that the

proposed budget will be discussed again at the council meeting on Monday, Nov. 18.

Borough council has tentatively scheduled a special meeting to discuss the budget on Monday, Nov. 25, but that meeting may not be

necessary. The plan is to formally adopt the 2020 budget on Monday, Dec. 2.

In other business at the meeting, Kennett Square approved additional change orders for the wastewater treatment Continued on Page 3A

Kennett Township Solicitor David Sander announced at the township’s Board of Supervisors Nov. 6 meeting that board chairman Scudder Stevens was recently named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed against him by a township resident, who is claiming that Stevens does not have the authority to charge a real estate tax against him.

The Berkheimer Tax Collection Agency, the township’s tax collector, has also been named as a defendant in the lawsuit. The plaintiff, Sander said, is proceeding without legal counsel. Sander did not disclose the name of the plaintiff, but said that his “legal” name contains several exotic symbols. He said that he is not aware of the punitive damages the

plaintiff is seeking.

By a 3-0 vote, the board approved the hiring of Sander and the Norristownbased law firm of Kilkenny Law, where Sander is employed, as the legal representative for Stevens.

In addition to his services for Kennett Township, Sander serves as legal counsel for Newtown Township (Bucks County), Borough of Millbourne, the Chester City Zoning Hearing Board, the Cheltenham Township Zoning Hearing Board, and the Plymouth Township Zoning Hearing Board.

Referring to the context of the lawsuit, Sander said, “This is some interestingly-worded pleadings, something you don’t see every day, and I am learning a lot about the law that I never knew existed.”

Sander said that when the township received the lawsuit, it was referred to

the township’s insurance company, which denied coverage to the township “because there is exception for individual supervisors potentially acting outside the scope of their authority,” he said. “I see this as a suit that is against Scudder as a member of the Board of Supervisors.”

Supervisor Dr. Richard Leff asked Sander if this case would qualify as a frivolous lawsuit, and if so, would Sander be able to recover any expenses.

“The plaintiff is proceeding pro se, and it has been my experience that the courts are reluctant to impose attorney fees or punitive damages against pro se parties who at least present some kind of colorable, legal cause of action,” Sander said, “and if the court views this as somewhat of a legitimate Continued on Page 5A

By John Chambless Staff Writer The wave of Democratic wins on Nov. 5 reached far and wide across Chester County, including Franklin Township, where Democrats Mary McVeigh and David Gerstenhaber edged out Republicans Brent Van Lith and David Snyder for township supervisor positions.

Out of 3,158 total votes, McVeigh and Gerstenhaber took 28 percent (910 and 887 votes, respectively).

Van Lith took 22 percent (696 votes) and Snyder took 21 percent (664 votes).

In an interview last week, Gerstenhaber looked back on the race and the results,

first thanking the residents who were part of the historic Democratic victories across the region.

“It is truly amazing and humbling, the amount of support we have received in Franklin Township,” he said. “And while I certainly do not want to discount ‘the wave’ we saw in Chester County, Mary and I won by large margins against an incumbent Republican in a solidly Republican township. That’s more about our township, Democrats and Republicans, sending a message demanding a change rather than a result of any partisan trend.”

in southern Chester County.

The Kennett Square area has been near the epicenter of the democratic groundswell.

Wayne Braffman, the chair of the Kennett Area Democrats, said that the historic wins by Democrats could be attributed to three factors.

“The Democratic sweep in Chester County was the result of three forces converging in a perfect political storm,” Braffman said. “There were highly motivated and energetic democratic volunteers who worked like never before.

The Democrats had an exceptional slate of highly qualified candidates. And voters across the political spectrum are rejecting the President and the oncerespectable party he has hijacked.”

Democrats scored unprecedented victories in the Philadelphia collar counties. Republicans, meanwhile, flipped some counties that had been controlled by Democrats in more rural parts of western Pennsylvania. It certainly sets up an interesting situation in 2020, when voter turnout could surge to unprecedented heights.

As it was, turnout for the 2019 off-year election was extraordinary. In 2015, the last time that the Chester County Commissioners were up for election, Terence Farrell was the top vote-getter with 44,712 votes. In the election last week, Farrell’s vote total was 62,287, and

he finished fourth in a fourperson race. In 2019, Marian Moskowitz received the most votes in the Chester County Commissioners race with 70,842 votes. So in just four years, the number of votes it took to finish in first place in the same race jumped by 26,000 votes. The get-out-the-vote effort made all the difference in the 2019 election, and those efforts will only increase in 2020.

Here’s a look at some of the other results throughout southern Chester County: Democrats sweep the Oxford Borough Council races A team of Democratic candidates swept the races for seats on Oxford Borough Council. With three seats up for grabs, incumbent Peggy Ann Russell, Kathryn Goodley Cloyd and Mary Higgins emerged as the top three vote-getters in the field of six candidates.

Dr. Richard Winchester, the fourth member of the team of Democrats, won the election for a two-year term on Oxford Borough Council, completing the sweep for the team.

Democrat Paul Morgan and Republican David Besselman won full terms on Avondale Borough Council, while Robert McCue won the two-year unexpired term.

In Kennett Square Borough, incumbent council president Doug Doerfler won re-election, while a pair of Democrats, Mayra Zavala and Rosa Garza Moore, won seats on borough council.

Proto, Karen Beltran, and Fred Boyce won seats on borough council. All four ran as Democrats and emerged with wins in a crowded field.

Wright Watson and Sherri Matis-Mitchell.

In Region I, Howard Robinson won re-election for another four-year term, while incumbent Dr. Eric Owens won a two-year unexpired term. Robinson and Owens were both unopposed.

Jen Harrison captured 57 percent of the vote to win an open seat in Region II. She was opposed by Mary-Laura Buchner-Hulse.

In Region III, school board president Joseph Tighe was unopposed and won another four-year term.

There were six seats on the Kennett School Board up for election. In Region A, a pair of newcomers, Maribel Garcia and Ann Parry, emerged with wins by out-polling the incumbents, Dominic Perigo and Steve Ciprani. Also in Region A, Ryan Bowers was unopposed in his bid to win a two-year unexpired term on the board. In Region B, school board president Joseph Meola and David Kronenberg won the two seats. Incumbent Michael Finnegan won re-election in Region C. In the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District, Rashi Akki (Region A) and Victoria Baratta (Region B)

were unopposed and won re-election. In Region C, with three seats up for grabs, John P. Murphy, Jen Brown, and Erin Talbert emerged with victories in a field of five candidates.

London Grove Township voters elected Christine Allison, a Democrat, and Kevin Runey, a Republican, from a field of four candidates.

In London Britain Township, Brian Samuel Sachs defeated Russell McKinnon, 61 percent to 38 percent.

Republican incumbent John Sarro and Democrat Eric Matuszak won election to the East Marlborough Board of Supervisors.

Kathryn Monahan won a two-year term to the board.

In East Nottingham Township, David Smoker won a full term on the board of supervisors, while John Wallace won a fouryear term. William Weaver emerged with a victory in a bid for a two-year term.

William Winand, a Republican, won a seat on the West Nottingham Township Board of Supervisors by defeating Democrat Antonio Pedulla.

Scott Rugen was unopposed and was re-elected to the Upper Oxford Township Board of Supervisors.

The same can be said of Milt Rudy (Elk Township Board of Supervisors) and Mary Anne Steel (New London Township Board of Supervisors).

A sweep in Avon Grove Voters in the Avon Grove School District weighed in on the current direction of the school district, including the construction of a new high school, by re-electing the core group of school board members who set Avon Grove on this path—school board president Tracy Lisi and Jeffrey Billig (in Region II) and Herman Engel and Bonnie Wolff (in Region III). The victories were by a wide margin. Additionally, Dr. Dorothy Linn, a retired superintendent who publicly supported the high school plan, out-polled incumbent Republican Charles Beatty in Region I, winning by a margin of 58 percent to 41 percent.

School board races in Kennett, Oxford, and Unionville-Chadds Ford In the Oxford Area School District, Bob Tenga and Mark Patterson were both re-elected in district-wide at-large races, fending off the challenge of Denita

plant project. Overall, the change orders for the project have amounted to about $180,000, which is about five percent of the total costs of a project.

Kennett Square Borough Council approved an easement agreement with the Kennett Library for the Weinstein lot. There are water and sewer lines that run east to west through the Weinstein lot, and the borough needs access to maintain those lines. The borough sold that lot to the Kennett Library so that it could construct a new library building on the site.

The Kennett Library plans to relocate the lines as part of the project to build a library on the site, but until then the borough needs the easement agreement.

Borough council held a public hearing regarding a proposed ordinance amending Chapter 18, the Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance, that specifically addresses the section pertaining to parks and recreation.

The purpose of the ordinance amendment was to bring that section into conformity with state regulations, which have been changed in the last few years. The state regulations now allow a developer to not just donate parks and recreation land as a fee-in-lieu during the subdivision and land-development process, but to also donate funding for the maintenance of that land that is being used for parks or recreation.

Once the presentation about the proposed ordinance amendment was made and the public comments were heard, borough council closed the public hearing. There was no motion to approve the proposed ordinance, so the borough will not be moving forward with the amendment changes at this time.

The Chester County District Attorney’s Office and the Valley Township Police Department have announced the recovery of the partially decomposed body of a woman in Valley Township. They are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the woman.

On Oct. 29, some passers-by noticed human bones in a wooded area near the 500 block of East Glencrest Road in Valley Township. Police and Chester County detectives responded to the scene.

Police discovered the bones and partially decomposed body of a woman.

The woman was small in stature, age 16-40, and white or Latina. There were no signs of trauma. She was wearing a This jacket was worn by the woman yellow and gray sweatshirt. On her right whose body was found on Oct. 29 in hip, she had a tattoo of a ram or the Valley Township.

“At this time, we have no indication of criminal activity,” Valley Township Police Chief Brian Newhall said.

“However, we need to identify this woman and alert her family.”

The body does not match any known missing persons from Chester County.

There was no identification on the body or in the surrounding area.

“This woman is somebody’s daughter, sister, or mother,” Chester County District Attorney Tom Hogan said. “We are asking for the public’s help to identify her and return her to her family.”

way to move the township forward is to have open and inclusive discussions.

“Currently, the biggest concern for the entire township is our out-ofdate Comprehensive Plan,” Gerstenhaber continued. “We need to get that done and updated before we move forward.

Also, we have several large parcels of land that are under threat from major development. We need to make sure that we manage those outcomes, so we don’t end up putting added and costly stress on our infrastructure and school system.

“For longer-term goals, I’m interested in working with our various business owners to help make Franklin Township a destination,” he added.

“We have wonderful wineries and restaurants, and beautiful trails and parks, and all this tremendous potential. I want to work towards seeing that potential realized.”

To help with that effort, we reached out and got the support of previous and current township supervisors from both parties. And we had a focused effort on staging the rollout of signs, flyers, and mailers to help support our message. By the end, we had our signs on Republican as well as Democrat lawns.”

In a township that has long been largely politically conservative, Gerstenhaber said his focus is on moving forward.

Balloon Festival directors plan move to Willowdale

By Chris Barber Correspondent The Chester County Balloon Festival, which has been attracting fans, families and photographers for 13 years, will move to the Willowdale Steeplechase grounds in 2020, pending final approval by East Marlborough Township supervisors.

Event organizer Rick Schimpf brought his presentation to the supervisors meeting on Nov. 4, explaining that several officials in the township already had his written plans and summary of the event. At the meeting, the board gave unanimous approval to a permit for June 26, 27 and 28, 2020, but they had plenty of questions and expressed their reservations about the logistics.

Schimpf, accompanied by fellow director Debbie Harding, said that the plans to move the location were prompted by the increased business and activities at the New Garden Airport, as well as difficulty with parking and traffic control at the Plantation Field grounds on Route 82, which were two previous sites.

Schimpf recited the features that the festival will offer, adding that, over the three days, they expect an attendance of between

16,000 and 20,000 people.

In addition to the spectacle of about 25 hot-air balloons in the sky, those who want to experience the thrill of ascending skyward will have the chance to take a balloon ride. Helicopter rides, two nights of fireworks, food trucks, a beer garden, monster truck rides and an invitation to tailgate will also be available.

Some board members voiced concerns, first regarding traffic control.

Schimpf said there will be a heavy police presence, like the one seen at the Willowdale Steeplechase every May. The parking will be the same as that for the Unionville Community Fair. “The steeplechase grounds are easy to get in and out of,” Schimpf said.

Board member Buzz Hannum asked about tail-

gating and alcohol usage and if there was a possibility it would get out of control.

Schimpf said the tailgating would be limited to the field that, during the community fair, held the antique cars.

Visitors would have to buy their wine and beer at the festival, rather than being able to bring it in.

Others were concerned about the effect on the community, especially the local horse farms. “Horses are afraid of the fireworks and balloons,” then-board candidate Shelley Mincer said.

Supervisors McKinstry added, “And especially helicopters!”

Schimpf said flight times would be controlled and the helicopters would certainly not be in the air with the balloons. The public would be given fair warning of the schedule of what would be

going on that weekend as well.

Supervisor Bobby McKinstry asked if Schimpf had checked with Longwood Gardens to make sure the festival would not coincide with performances on that weekend. Planning Commission chairman Cuyler Walker said he believed there would be no conflict.

In other business: Supervisors chairman John Sarro announced that Township Manager Laurie Prysock has tendered her resignation and will be taking another job.

There will be a search for a replacement.

Mike Fuller of Keystone Lighting Solutions gave a detailed report on the progress of an assessment of township needs regarding streetlights. The board will act on proceeding with a project to replace the current lights with LED bulbs at next month’s meeting.

The 2020 township budget will be advertised 20 days in advance of the December meeting, at which time it will be voted on.

After the flood II: Marche holds grand reopening

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer As morning turned into afternoon and with the big evening ahead, Deanna Johnson of Marche in Kennett Square prepared for the off icial reopening of her State Street store on Nov. 1.

A table in the rear of the store was neatly arranged with wine for the large crowd that was anticipated to arrive in a few hours, and Johnson welcomed the arrival of trays of vegan appetizers from Altruist Foods. Beyonce blared on the store’s sound system, and the home ideas and lifestyle boutique was festively dotted with reminders that the holidays will soon be arriving, and everything – every piece of clothing, every home design accessory and every trinket – seemed perfectly in place.

The perfection was in extreme contrast to the events of Aug. 5, when Johnson got a phone call from store manager Robin Doordan that a flood was occurring in the front of the store.

Moments later, Johnson arrived at Marche to f ind Doordan using a bucket to catch the water that was seeping through light f ixtures above. Using towels that she had borrowed from a neighbor, Johnson began to sop up the water that

was cascading down the store walls, then ran next door to Currie Salon to inform them of the flood. It just so happened that a plumber was doing routine work at Currie, and when he inspected the damage at Marche, he traced the flood to a sink in the apartment that is above the store.

Within moments of the flood, Nicole Contro-Pieri, the co-owner of Flood Support – a Kennett Square-based damage restoration business – had arrived at the store with her husband, and work quickly began to clean up the mess. The cause of the flood was traced to a blockage in a two-and-a-half-inch pipe that feeds into the main valve. Because it was blocked, the water backed up to the main drain, forcing it out of the apartment sink.

For the next several weeks, the store was closed, as dehumidifiers worked overtime, walls and ceilings were repaired, and planks of the wood flooring were removed and replaced.

The store f inally reopened on Oct. 4.

In the words of Yogi Berra, the August flood at Marche was like “déjà vu all over again.”

On March 5, Johnson got a phone call from a Marche employee. There was water coming from the store’s bathroom

floor and ceiling. Flood Support helped to mitigate the damage, but on March 20, additional pipes in the store’s basement began to fail, causing a second flood on March 22. The store lost tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of high-end merchandise, and while a portion was covered by insurance, Marche was forced to close its doors for several months.

“I definitely felt like it was surreal, that this cannot be happening again,” Johnson said of the second flood. “Who knows what my business

would be if I didn’t have to go through these troubles? But I have been inspired by those who are able to keep me afloat by working with my customers on design projects.

“So, rather than experience any down time, I was hustling to keep the business alive while the store was closed.”

Although Marche’s current lease on State Street expires next year, Johnson said that in a perfect world, she would like to remain in the business community of Kennett Square

Borough.

“I really want to stay in this community because I chose to be in this community, and I want to remain in these two blocks, if I am able to,” she said. “I have a great team here, and great customers and local merchants who have always encouraged me to keep going.”

Johnson said that the Nov. 1 grand reopening was the fulfillment of a promise she made to her customers.

“This will be a celebration to my customers and the unity we have all built over

the past three years,” she said. “As of now, I don’t know what’s going to happen with the future of Marche and where I will likely move the business, but I know that it will be exciting for me, because it is an opportunity to reinvent the business -- to take all of the information I have learned in the last three years and adjust.

“At this point, I have become the queen of adjusting.”

challenge to Scudder’s and Berkheimer’s ability to levy real estate tax, then chances are they will not [refund expenses].”

Leff asked Sander about the potential ramifications to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania if, in fact, the plaintiff wins the case.

“Probably widespread panic,” Sander replied, “but I don’t think that will happen, considering that the plaintiff has not challenged the [authority] of the remainder of the board and the township to levy these taxes.”

Berkheimer has hired its own legal counsel.

“Ultimately, if there is a hearing, we’ll have us and Berkheimer there, and we’ll be fighting the same fight,” Sander said.

In other township business, township manager Eden Ratliff proposed that the township hold two public meetings to discuss the township’s 2020 budget over the next few weeks, in addition to a budget discussion at the next board meeting on Nov. 20. He said that the meetings would provide more attention on the township’s capital fund, general fund, open space fund and sewer fund.

“I fully expect that the board is going to have questions and recommendations, and I suspect that the community will have the same,” Ratliff said. “We need time to research [those questions and recommendations] and have time to formulate a response.”

“From my perspective, if

that’s what we need to do, then that’s what I’m prepared to do,” Stevens said.

“I hope that the rest of the community will share in that process, because it is important that they be a part of this process.”

Ratliff said that the public will be informed of the dates and times of these meetings via the township’s website, social media, and by email. The first meeting will be held on Nov. 13.

Ratliff was recently accompanied by township grant coordinator Michael Guttman on a visit to Harrisburg to pursue a $2 million multi-modal fund grant (MTF) through the Commonwealth Finance Authority. If approved, the grant will be applied to the improvement of the Five Points intersection in the township; specifically, the creation of a roundabout that will ease the flow of traffic. Ratliff met with Delta, the township’s grant writing firm, as well as with Sen. Tom Killion and Rep. Steve Barrar, regarding the application, which Ratliff said is likely to be decided on in the next few weeks.

“We explained the importance of this project and its enhancement to our transportation needs in the township,” Ratliff said.

Later in the meeting, the board authorized Ratliff to submit a second grant application for the Five Points project – a grant through the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) for $2 million. Submitting two grant requests provides a better insurance for the

township; for instance, should the Commonwealth Finance Authority grant allocation fall short of the desired $2 million request, the township will apply the PennDOT grant allocation to help pay for the project.

The entire cost of the intersection will be approximately $2.9 million, of which 30 percent will be paid for by the township.

Discussion about how to improve the troublesome intersection began as far back as 2009, and in the pecking order of township plans, the Five Points intersection has been consistently at, or near, the top of its to-do list. The thorn in the side of this project has always been determining how it will be funded, and by whom.

“One of the points that Michael [Guttman] and I made to our elected officials was that the total cost of this project is more than our annual budget for our police department,” Ratliff said. “We can’t do this by ourselves. It’s possible that PennDOT will come in and fix the intersection and do it by themselves, and they don’t want to fix it by themselves, so they should help us do this.

“They asked us, ‘What if you don’t get the grants?’

I said, ‘We’re not going to do it. We don’t have $2.9 million to go and complete this project, but it’s really important, and that’s why we’re here for a second year, and why we will be here next year, because that’s how important this is.’”

Ratliff also said that the much-needed repair to the

Rosedale Road sewer line, estimated at $500,000, will be discussed at the board’s Nov. 20 meeting, at which bid proposals for the improvement project will be considered. Stevens called the project a high priority for the township.

Ratliff said that the community will be invited to an upcoming presentation about the history of the historic Isaac Allen House, that he said will be part of a community discussion to determine the future of the home.

“The question is, how much is this township

committed to preserving museum pieces?” Stevens said. “Is the township committed to preserving structures of consequence?

These are the kinds of questions we need to be asking.

I want to toss the question to the community to begin thinking about, because at some point, we’re going to have to make a decision about how we’re going to continue to invest money on old structures, and if so, to what extent and why.”

After a public hearing that included a presentation by township planner Tom Comitta, the board passed

an amended ordinance related to the township’s Transfer of Development Rights.

Ratliff said that beginning on Aug. 2020, the bridge at Route 82 and Kaolin Road will be closed for repairs, and will be closed for the next seven months.

Ratliff also informed the audience that the annual Holiday Village Market will be held at the Kennett Creamery from Dec. 7-10, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Fraud investigation ‘nearly finished’ As he has done since the investigation into possible fraud in Kennett Township fraud investigation began in May, Board Chairman Scudder Stevens used the opening minutes of the board’s Nov. 6 meeting to provide an update on the investigation.

“Those investigations are now nearly finished and we are awaiting word that the Chester County District Attorney’s report is complete and that they will be reporting their findings soon,” said Stevens, reading from a prepared statement. “I assure you we are anxiously looking forward to what the District Attorney has to say.”

Reiterating what he said at an October board meeting, Stevens said that the township has been gathering information related to the investigation in preparation for a public meeting that is scheduled to be held at the Township Building soon after the DA and the forensic auditors make their findings public.

“As you know, we have been directed by the DA to wait for their reports to be completed before we publicly discuss the case, any possible criminal charges and related matters,” Stevens said. “When the DA reports his findings, we will announce the date for our public meeting to be held.

“We are looking forward to being able to give you a complete explanation of what happened, who was responsible and what is being done to fix it all,” Stevens added.

“This is information you have been patiently waiting for – and so have we – for many months.”

Turn the Page Tuesdays program highlighted in OASD

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer David Hamburg, the principal of the Jordan Bank School in Oxford, has been teaming up with members of the community to read a bedtime story for children.

The program is called Turn the Page Tuesdays. So far, Hamburg has teamed up with a police officer, a firefighter, a businessman, and a veterinarian. Hamburg introduces the guest reader, does a quick interview, and then the bedtime story is read. The segments are recorded and posted on Youtube for families to watch whenever they want.

This program was highlighted at the most recent school board meeting

by Dr. Margaret BillingsJones, the Oxford Area School District’s assistant

superintendent. She noted that the bedtime story segments even include a Spanish translation to accommodate families who primarily speak Spanish.

In other business at the meeting, school board member Dr. Eric Owens offered a report on the recent meeting of the Chester County School Boards Legislative Council.

One of the main issues that the council reviewed was the directive from Gov. Tom Wolf for the Pennsylvania Department of Education to create new regulations for charter schools.

Superintendent David Woods congratulated the five recent inductees into the Oxford Area High School Sports Wall of Fame.

The inductees at the 19th annual banquet were Dale Edwards, Richard “Bud”

Draper, Meredith Henry Musselman, Clyde Prigg, and Stacey Pinno Maurer.

Woods also announced that Oxford Borough, the Oxford Arts Alliance, and Oxford Mainstreet, Inc. are teaming up to organize a flag design contest for people to submit entries of an official flag for Oxford Borough. Submissions are already being accepted. The deadline for submissions is Nov. 22. The winner will be selected after that. There will be a $500 prize to the winner of the design contest.

The Oxford School Board’s next meeting will take place at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 19 in the Administration Building.

Senior center announces changes The Kennett Area Senior Center has announced some organizational changes focused on strengthening its financial foundation and improving the delivery of programs and services to the senior community.

Former executive director Anita O’Connor has assumed the position of director of philanthropy and Stephanie D’Amico has stepped into the role of executive director.

D’Amico joined the senior center as associate director in September 2018, and has worked closely with

O’Connor over the past year to manage the transfer of operational tasks.

O’Connor will be focusing on fundraising to ensure that KASC is well positioned to meet the challenges that lie ahead, including membership growth and facility improvements.

D’Amico earned a master’s degree in social work administration from Temple University and has more than 25 years of experience in working with nonprofits, including as director and CEO for a

nonprofit serving at-risk children.

“I have taken great delight in my first year at KASC and I am excited to serve the seniors of southern Chester County as the executive director,” D’Amico said.

“I have great expectations for the future of our organization.”

KASC serves residents of the Kennett Square area and helps adults, 50 and older, to live healthy, active and independent lifestyles. Visit www.kennettseniorcenter. org.

Students exploring stream chemistry data with Stroud Center educator, David Kline.

Stroud shares hands-on science with Kennett area students

Thanks to the support of PECO, Stroud Water Research Center was able to share science and STEM education to students participating in Kennett Consolidated School District’s AfterThe-Bell program.

After-The-Bell is an after-school program that provides middle school students throughout KCSD with safe, structured and fun activities that promote learning and growth at no cost to the parents.

Throughout the six sessions, the students were introduced to freshwater science, and experienced some of the methods Stroud Center scientists use to

study streams and rivers around the world.

One lesson focused on electrofishing to survey for fish. Electrofishing is an effective way to sample an entire section of a stream. It puts a weak electric current into the water, which temporarily stuns the f ish. Students helped to net, identify, and measure the fish before releasing them safely back into the stream.

Students donned boots to collect m a c r o i nve r t e b r a t e s from White Clay Creek, and then took them back to the classroom to identify them.

Like Stroud Center scientists, they learned

how these insects tell a story about stream health. A take-home f ield notebook was given to all participants as a way to continue exploration of their surroundings.

This partnership gave some students, who wouldn’t otherwise have the opportunity, the chance to explore streams, collect bugs, and learn about their watersheds.

PECO’s contribution helped the Stroud Center to share their science and education programming with more students throughout the region.

Some Election Day takeaways (and a few throwaways, too)

Oxford Borough Council candidates express their gratitude

Here’s a look at some takeaways from the 2019 Election—and a few things that might seem to be takeaways, but really aren’t.

Takeaway: The democrats made history by sweeping the county-wide elections.

This takeaway is obvious. The Democrats successfully ended more than 200 years of republican dominance in dramatic fashion by sweeping the 2019 county-wide elections.

In the aftermath of the unprecedented election results, everyone was feeling blue. Republicans were feeling blue because they had lost control of the county government— an outcome that would have been unthinkable even a decade ago, and Democrats were feeling blue because the blue wave continued to crest. This makes three straight years that Democrats were energized during an election.

The Democrats didn’t just win a majority on the three-person Chester County Board of Commissioners and the county row offices. They won supervisor races, school board elections, and seats on borough council.

Republicans still hold a slight advantage in the number of registered voters county-wide, but Democrats showed up at the polls in stronger numbers—and it showed.

Takeaway: The get-out-the-vote effort still makes a difference on Election Day. Gov. Tom Wolf made a stop in Kennett Square just days before the Nov. 5 election because the get-out-the-vote effort by the Kennett Area Democrats has been impressive—and sustained. A number of Pennsylvania’s top Democrats talked about the Kennett Area Democrats’ work in organizing a well-oiled political ground game that delivered on Election Day. “We know how important the Kennett area is,” said Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro. “We know how important Chester County is. Don’t take my word for it. The governor is here.”

Throwaway: The Chester County Republican Party is dead!

Mark Twain popularized the phrase, “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.”

But sometimes statistics do tell a story. Here’s an interesting statistic: In 2015, the last time that the Chester County Commissioners were up for election, Terence Farrell was the top vote-getter with 44,712 votes. In the election last week, Farrell’s vote total was 62,287, and he finished fourth in a four-person race. In 2019, Marian Moskowitz received the most votes in the Chester County Commissioners race with 70,842 votes.

The get-out-the-vote made all the difference in the 2019 election, and without it the Democrats would not have been able to score the Election Day victories that they did.

Twain once commented that “reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.” Similarly, don’t believe any reports about the death of the Republican Party in Chester County. Sure, they got swept this election, but the fact of the matter is that more votes were cast for Republican County Commissioner candidates in 2019 than in 2015.

There is no doubt that Chester County is trending Democrat, but there is also no guarantee that the trend is toward eventual dominance by Democrats.

Takeaway: All politics is local (except when it isn’t).

Tip O’ Neill, the legendary Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, is closely associated with the political theory that “all politics is local.” There’s a lot of truth to the idea that all politics is local—which is to say that voters can zero in on what’s happening in their community and vote accordingly. However, when you look at the election results in the Philadelphia collar counties, there is an undeniable anti-Trump sentiment at work.

Democrats surged to unprecedented victories in the suburbs. They did it here, they did it in Virginia, and they did it in Kentucky, a red state where Democrats made huge gains in the suburban areas of Cincinnati, Ohio.

Throwaway: Pennsylvania’s electoral votes will go to the Democratic challenger in 2020.

It’s definitely possible that a democrat will win Pennsylvania in the 2020 presidential election. And when you look at the energy and organization that the Democratic Party has built up in places like Chester County, Delaware County, and Montgomery County, it could be argued that it’s likely that Pennsylvania turns blue in the next election. But we don’t even know who the Democratic nominee will be in 2020, so it’s way too early to be making snap judgements about who is carrying Pennsylvania.

Takeaway: Now comes the hard part for the Election Day winners.

Getting elected is great, but good governing is what really matters. Best of luck to all the people who won on Election Day as they set out to make good on all of their campaign goals.

Dear Oxford Borough neighbors: A huge “Thanks!” to all the supporters who made our election to Oxford Borough Council possible.

We’re so grateful for your confidence in us. We’ll work

hard to show you that it’s not misplaced. We’ll also work to gain the respect of all our borough residents. We want to bring as many people into the decision-making process as possible, and look forward to working with you, and for you.

Why I’m running for Congress

By John Emmons Republican candidate for PA 6th Congressional District Once again, Washington is consumed by petty partisanship and endless investigations.

Last month, I launched my campaign for Congress.

These first weeks have been a new experience for me.

You see, I’m not a politician.

My background is in business. I have been a director of operations for major manufacturers in Pennsylvania and around the world, and in business, there’s not a lot of time for bluster and talk. We identify the problem, devise a solution, and get to work.

We’re taking a page from the business playbook in how we run our campaign. Too many campaigns are built around poll-tested slogans and meaningless sound bites.

The way I see it, I’m applying for a job. If I’m elected, you will be paying my salary.

You’ll be my boss.

This is my job interview.

So let me tell you what I believe and where I stand.

We need to make health care more accessible and more affordable. We need

health care reform that gives you the power to choose your providers and insurer.

We need to streamline the regulations so dozens of insurance companies are competing to offer you the insurance that best fits your needs. We need to demand transparency in pricing so you can make informed decisions about treatment and procedures. We need to ensure that you are in charge of your own tax-free health care budget.

We have a crisis on our southern border.

Too many people are coming to America illegally, putting burdens on law enforcement, our health care system, and our schools. We must secure the border. We must enforce the law. However, I believe we should continue to open our arms to legal immigrants – people who seek a better life for themselves and their families and are willing to work hard and follow the law. We need to streamline the legal immigration system to make it more efficient.

Our economy is growing again and unemployment is at historic lows, but we’re not done. Too many families still live paycheck-to-paycheck,

are underemployed, or work multiple jobs. We must continue to cut taxes on families and small businesses, but we need to simultaneously close the loopholes that Congress creates for well-connected corporations. Let’s level the playing field, by cutting regulation and red tape, and get government out of the business of picking the winners and losers in our economy.

Those are just three issues: health care, immigration, and jobs. Here’s where I stand on a few more: Our national debt is unacceptable. We need to reduce the size and power of the federal government. Both parties have failed us with their endless overspending.

I support the 2nd Amendment and will vote against efforts to take firearms away from law-abiding citizens. However, I believe we need to do a better job providing better mental health education and treatment options to those who are clear dangers to themselves and others.

I am pro-life. I believe that all life is sacred.

I am a conservationist and support efforts to clean up and protect our environment.

In my own home, we drive a Prius, recycle, grow our own vegetables, and try to be responsible stewards of the Earth.

I believe that most problems are best solved at the local level. We need stronger families and more stable homes. We need to look first to our churches and community organizations. We need to get more involved with our neighborhood schools and local government.

We’re building a campaign based on a simple premise: I am going to tell people where I stand, answer questions, try to come up with solutions, and, if I’m elected, get to work. Over the coming months, I hope you’ll join me at town halls throughout the district. I hope you’ll ask some tough questions. I’ll do my best to answer them.

Meanwhile, back in Washington, the partisanship continues. I decided to run for Congress because I believe that the only way to change Washington is to change who we send to Washington. We don’t need more showboats and wouldbe television pundits. We need people who are willing to get to work.

Chester County Commissioners appoint Leonard Rivera to Chester Water Authority Board The Chester County Board of Commissioners approved the appointment of Kennett Square lawyer Leonard Rivera, Esq., to the Chester Water Authority (CWA) Board. Rivera fills the board position vacated by the resignation of Christopher Burkett earlier this year.

Rivera previously served a five-year term (2012 to 2017) as one of three Chester County representatives on the CWA Board. His appointment will run to November 27, 2022.

The Chester County

Commissioners’ selection of Rivera followed a process of interviews of individuals shortlisted from applications sent to the Commissioners. In July and August, the Commissioners invited qualified Chester County residents interested in the CWA board position to send in resumes and cover letters, noting their interest in the position. The Commissioners conducted interviews during October before formally appointing Rivera at a Commissioners’ Public Meeting.

Commenting on the appointment, Chester County Commissioners’ Chair Michelle Kichline said, “Len Rivera is highly qualified to serve the residents of Southern Chester County on the CWA Board because of his previous experience as a board member and, perhaps more importantly, as a ratepayer of CWA. He understands the issues, the dynamics and the responsibilities that come with being a board member and we are confident that he will work well with

the other CWA board members to forward the interests of the ratepayers served by CWA in Chester County.

“Commissioner Cozzone, Commissioner Farrell and I thank the many residents, organizations and township officials who took the time to contact us and share their thoughts with us regarding the CWA board position,” added Kichline. “The active investment in community matters by so many of our Chester County citizens is what makes this county such a great place to live.”

House advances most substantial election reforms in 80 years Bill strengthens election security and access for Pennsylvanians The most comprehensive effort to modernize and improve Pennsylvania’s elections since the 1930s was passed by the House of Representatives recently.

Senate Bill 421 establishes mail-in voting in the Commonwealth, gives Pennsylvanians more time to register to vote ahead of elections and eliminates the straight-party ticket option from ballots.

“Straight-party voting is an antiquated practice that works to encourage voters to blindly choose a blank box at the top of a ballot,” House Majority Leader Bryan Cutler (R-Lancaster) said. “The vast majority of states removed straight-party voting years ago, believing the electorate has the right to

choose people over party, and let their personal beliefs lead them in the voting booth, not just a one-party box.”

The legislation also provides the pathway for the state to provide $90 million in bonding to help every Pennsylvania county pay for newly required modern voting machines. Gov. Tom Wolf acted unilaterally to decertify voting machines statewide and required counties to obtain more advanced and secure voting machines that produce a verifiable paper trail with each vote.

The Legislature moved to provide the funding in June; however, the governor vetoed that measure.

“Gov. Wolf’s action forced counties into a corner,” Cutler said. “Every county

was required to come up with new machines regardless of their current voting systems. House Republicans responded in June and again today, hearing from our counties and providing more money than the administration asked for.”

Other modernization measures include allowing voter registration up to 15 days prior to an election, allowing all ballots to be received until 8 p.m. on election days and establishing mail-in voting.

The mail-in voting will work similar to the current absentee ballot system but would allow any registered voter to vote by mail, increasing access for all voters. Further, all mailed and absentee ballots will go to centralized locations, not to individual

precincts, strengthening security and timeliness, and helping provide clear and definitive election results as quickly as possible.

“This bill was not written to benefit one party or the other, or any one candidate or single election,” added Cutler. “It was developed over a multi-year period, with input from people of different backgrounds and regions of Pennsylvania. It serves to preserve the integrity of every election and lift the voice of every voter in the Commonwealth.”

Previously established policies for members of the military and emergency voting remain in place.

The legislation now returns to the Senate for further consideration.

Forte run, goal line stand leads Kennett to 20-14 playoff win

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer At a little past 9 p.m. last Friday, on a frigid night perfectly conducive to playoff football but not for the faint of heart, the legs of Kennett High School quarterback Sam Forte scampered ten yards over the goal line and whipped Kennett Stadium into a frenzy.

Forte’s run, coming at the end of a back-andforth tilt reminiscent of a slug-it-out prizefight against visiting Strath Haven in the quarterfinal round of the District 1 playoffs, prompted announcer Leon Spencer to utter the following words, on what was the greatest night in the recent history of Blue Demon football: “There is happiness on the Hill.”

Forte’s run on the first play from scrimmage (overtime rules call for each team to begin downs on the opposing team’s 10-yard line) broke a 14-14 tie to punch the Blue Demons’ ticket into the semifinals of the District 1 playoffs on Nov. 15 at top-seeded Cheltenham, who fought off a tough Unionville team to beat the Indians, 35-21, in their quarterfinal game.

While Forte’s winning QB keeper may go down as the biggest play in Kennett football history, the play that preceded it may be the program’s most important.

Inheriting

the ball at the 10-yard line to begin overtime, Cougar fullback John Prochniak rushed to the seven-yard line, followed by a pitch to Ibrahaim Pio that moved the ball to the four-yard line. A second Prochniak carry moved the ball to within a half yard of the goal line, but on fourth and goal, Prochniak was stopped by a swarm of Kennett tacklers.

If great football games are measured by the theatrics of big plays, then this was a Broadway showstopper – one that may have ended for Kennett on stellar defense and Forte’s run – but began as a touchdown trade-off between the 9-2 Cougars and the 10-1 Blue Demons.

Kennett got on the scoreboard f irst on a 70-yard, six-play touchdown drive in the first quarter that was set up by a 27-yard run by running back Garrett Cox that moved the chains from the Kennett 40-yard line to the Strath Haven 33-yard line. Frazier ran to the 12-yard line, a pitch to wide receiver Kalen Frazier got the ball to the six-yard line, and with 9:11 left in the first quarter, Forte fired a TD strike to wide receiver Tommy Patrissi in the corner of the end zone.

Strath Haven fired right back with a touchdown of its own that was started on a kick-off return by Matt

Playing in his last game at Kennett Stadium, Blue Demons running back Garrett Cox searched for yardage during the third quarter.

Shuler, setting up the Cougars on the Kennett 44-yard line. The nineplay drive ended with a 10-yard touchdown run

by Prochniak that tied the game at 7-7 with 4:54 left in the first quarter.

Beginning the second quarter on the Strath Haven 24-yard line, Forte scrambled out of the pocket and threw a bullet to a leaping Frazier in the corner of the end zone to give the Blue Demons a 14-7 lead with 11:51 left in the first half.

On its next set of downs, however, an 11-play, 51-yard drive

Kennett quarterback Sam Forte, seen here in the third quarter of the Blue Demons’ quarterfinal playoff game against visiting Strath Haven, later broke a 14-14 tie with a 10-yard overtime touchdown run that gave the Blue Demons a 20-14 victory.

by Strath Haven ended with Prochniak’s second touchdown of the day, a three-yard rush with 6:10 left in the first half that sent both teams into the locker room holding onto a 14-14 tie.

After a first half that was unblemished by turnovers, both teams turned the ball over to the other throughout the scoreless third quarter.

Fumble recoveries by Ryan Barker and Vincent Cresci snuffed out two Cougar drives, and Evan Blake picked off a Forte pass later in the quarter.

As the fourth quarter

began, the continuing drama of the game was not only ramped up because of its playoff implications, but from the back-and-forth struggle of both teams to score. Following three long possessions that chewed up the clock but ended in punts, Strath Haven took over on their own 24-yard line with 58 second left. Prochniak then ran 19 yards to near midfield, followed by a 12-yard carry by Pio and a pass to wide receiver Jaris Adams that moved the ball to the 30-yard line with 21 second left.

Two Prochniak carries got the Cougars to the 24-yard line, but with six seconds remaining in regulation, a 41-yard field goal attempt by kicker Emmet Young fell just short of the mark, ending regulation.

RALPH DIFILIPPO Ralph ‘Lennie’ DiFilippo, 90, passed away peacefully on Nov. 6 Ware Presbyterian Village.

He was born in 1929. Lennie is survived by his beloved sister, Aida Stainback; as well as multiple generations of nephews and nieces.

He was preceded in death by his father, Eugene J. DiFilippo, Sr.; his mother, Mary DeCecco DiFilippo; and two brothers, Eugene Jr. and William.

He was a longtime resident of Toughkenamon. He graduated from Kennett High School, and joined the Army. After his discharge, he spent all of his life as co-owner of a family business, DiFilippo’s General Store, which served Toughkenamon and the surrounding community for more than 75 years.

After his retirement, he loved working in his yard.

During the winter months, a hobby he reveled in was piecing together multiple puzzles. Lennie was an avid baseball fan and found delight in collecting memorabilia of his favorite team, The New York Yankees. In his younger years, his hobbies included fishing, hunting and playing baseball for the Tuffies Baseball Club. He recently communicated how he was the last standing survivor.

Lennie was active in his community as a giving person and provided scholarship funds to both Kennett and Avon Grove high schools. He participated in many Kennett Square Memorial Day and Halloween parades by driving his Model A Ford.

Services and internment are private.
