The Oxford School Board’s Jan. 16 agenda was topped by a tax rate certification resolution pertaining to the 2018-2019 budget that will be approved before the end of June. The school board approved the resolution, which indicates that it will not exceed the Act 1 Index limit that is set by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. The Act 1 Index limit for Oxford for the 2018-2019
school year is 3.3 percent. The Act 1 Index limit establishes the highest rate that a school district can raise taxes without seeking approval from voters via a referendum. Pennsylvania requires school districts to approve a resolution at least 110 days before the date of the election immeately preceding the upcoming fiscal year. If a school district planned to exceed the Act 1 Index limit, the issue would be placed on the Primary Election ballot so
The rule that students must pass the Keystone exams before graduating in the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District will remain after the school board voted at their Jan. 22 meeting to keep the requirement. In a meeting held at Patton Middle School, the board considered a motion to change the graduation requirement in the district
after many other school districts in the state have dropped the mandatory test. Assistant superintendent John Nolen told the board before the vote that, “This motion would change our current graduation requirement. Our current requiremtent is 22 credits, as well as that students are proficient on the three Keystone exams. If this motion passes, that would change to removing the Continued on Page 3A

that residents could either approve or reject the tax increase. School boards in Pennsylvania have rarely sought voter approval to exceed the Act 1 Index limit, and voters have rarely approved the larger tax increases.

As guest speaker, Davis hits a home run Broadcaster and color analyst Ben Davis shares stories from his life in baseball at the annual banquet of the Kennett Old Timers Baseball Association By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer Ben Davis, the former major leaguer who serves as a broadcaster and color analyst of Philadelphia Phillies games, returned to Kennett Square on Saturday, Jan. 20 to talk baseball at the Kennett Old Timers Baseball Association’s annual banquet. The Malvern Prep graduate spoke about growing up as a baseball fan, shared some entertaining experiences from his 16-year professional baseball career, and offered many insights about the present Phillies team as the 2018 season approaches. In other words, Davis,
for the second time in five years, hit a home run as the guest speaker at the banquet. Way to go, Ben! The evening was a celebration of the national pastime, featuring everything from a rousing rendition of “Take Me Out To The Ball Game” to a video tribute to the West Chester University baseball team that captured an NCAA Division II championship to a silent auction of baseball memorabilia to lots and lots of baseball talk. The highlight of the evening was the induction of nine local standout baseball players to the Kennett Old Timers Baseball Association’s Hall of
Fame. This year’s inductees are Andy Burtner, Jim Freeman, Steve Jewett, Darin Johnson, Bill Mac Pherson, Bob Nask, Chris Rosfelder, Joe Williamson, and Jeff Zona, bringing the total number of members of the hall of fame to 291. Keith Craig, the author of a book about pitching great and Kennett Square native Herb Pennock, served as the master of ceremonies. He welcomed the crowd of more than 350 people to the Red Clay Room by saying, “It’s baseball, it’s the national pastime, it’s the boys of summer, and here we are in the dead of winter talking baseball.” Continued on Page 2A

Local News Ben Davis... Continued from Page 1A
Doug Stirling, a pastor and radio host, had the duty of inducting this year’s class of hall of famers, detailing each inductee’s exploits on the baseball diamond. The inductees were standouts either on local high school teams or on adult league teams in the area, and they all had varied experiences in the game. Andy Burtner was a pitcher and outfielder for the Unionville High School baseball team between 1978 and 1982. He also pitched on the Kennett and Unionville American Legion team. He was also a pitcher at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, Indiana. He later pitched in an adult baseball league in Houston, Texas, and a Men’s Senior League team in Columbus, Ohio. Jim Freeman is the owner and operator of the All Star Baseball Academy. He is already a member of the West Chester Adult League Hall of Fame for his accomplishments on the baseball diamond. Freeman was one of the most feared hitters and a slick infielder in the West Chester Adult Baseball League. He was a key player on the championship teams with the Ratskeller A’s in the 1990s and the Chester County Crawdads in the 2000s. He was usually near the top of the lineup, batting first or third, and had a penchant for multi-hit games. He earned multiple all-star selections and MVP Awards. One highlight of his playing career was earning a spot with the 1995 Philadelphia Phillies replacement team. Steve Jewett was a top pitcher for Downingtown Senior High School from
1981 to 1984. He was an all-Ches-Mont League honorable mention selection in 1983. Jewett compiled a 15-3 record for Downingtown. He also had a 20-4 record as a pitcher for the Downingtown Post 475 American Legion team. In college, he posted a record of 2-3 with a 3.14 earned run average for Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Jewett went on to play for 17 years in the West Chester and Coatesville adult baseball league teams. Jewett thanked the Kennett Old Timers Baseball Association for recognizing the efforts of local baseball players. “Thank you for having this organization,” he said. “It’s great.” Darin Johnson grew up playing Little League baseball in New York. He played his high school
1980. He was an All-Del Val and All-Delco selection in 1981. He played college baseball for Dick Delaney at Philadelphia Textile. MacPherson was a threeyear starting center fielder and batted .370 while in college. He was the team captain and team MVP during his senior season. He went on to play in the Delco League from 1981 to 1998. He earned the Rookie of the Year Award in 1981 and was voted as an outfielder in the All-Decade team that was honored at the conclusion of the 1980s. He was part of four championship teams. MacPherson later played center field in the West Chester Adult League. He led the league in runs scored and walks in 1996 and 2000. He went on to manage the Chester County Crawdads from 2000 to

He liked playing the outfield, too. Johnson played in several adult baseball leagues. In addition to his accomplishments on the baseball field, he is still an avid hockey player, and was a standout in the sport. William MacPherson grew up playing baseball for the Chichester Little League and then for the Chichester High School team, where he was a three-year starter. He played on a Senior Babe Ruth League team that won the state title in 1979 and

2008, compiling a record of 119-30. They won eight consecutive regular season titles and six consecutive playoff titles. Overall, as a player and manager, MacPherson was part of 17 teams that won regular season championships and 11 teams that won playoff championships. Bob Nask grew up playing Little League, KAU, and Babe Ruth League baseball in the Unionville area. In addition to playing baseball for Unionville High School, he participated in soccer and basketball. Nask went on to play in the 30-andover league and coach and umpire for both the KAU and Caln little leagues. Joe Williams started playing baseball in Little League at the age of 8. He was a pitcher and third baseball at Great Valley High School, where he was also the quarterback on the school’s football team. He started playing in the Kennett over-30 baseball league and has played at least the last 25 years in National Senior Baseball Tournaments. He has played on several teams that have won championships, and was voted the MVP of his team in the Roy Hobbs Tournament. “Thank you to whoever voted me in the hall of fame. Obviously, you didn’t see me play,”

Williams quipped. Chris Rosfelder has the distinction of being signed by Major League great Carl Yastrzemski and making it all the way to Single A level with the Boston Red Sox farm system. When he was growing up, Rosfelder played in the Morristown Little League in New Jersey where he was a catcher and center fielder. Later, he was an allstar for the Downingtown American Legion team. The 1983 squad won a district championship. Rosfelder hit .406 in his career with the Downingtown varsity baseball team. He was then a four-year varsity starter at Washington College, where he was a standout catcher. He hit .377, .423, and .329 while at Washington College. He was an allsouth region All-American second team selection. He was inducted into the Washington College Hall of Fame in 2003. He played in the Eastern Shore League, earning an invitation to Major League camps with the Phillies, Orioles, and Royals. Later, he was a standout in the West Chester Adult Baseball League, where he is fourth all-time in career hits, with 568. He hit 111 home runs, which is third all-time. He won the league MVP two times and was a Triple Crown winner in 1998. He was inducted into the West Chester Adult Baseball League Hall of Fame in 2012. Rosfelder said that it was wonderful to be inducted with other people that he played baseball with in the area. “We’re truly blessed to play baseball here,” he said. Jeff Zona has enjoyed a long career in baseball. He has served as a special assistant to the general manager

of the Washington Nationals for the last 12 years. Before that, he was a scout with the Boston Red Sox. was born in West Chester and grew up playing in the local Little League. He was a pitcher at Downingtown High School. He said that one of his favorite baseball experiences is seeing his son get hired as a scout for the Phillies. The inductees took turns thanking the Kennett Old Timers Baseball Association, especially its president, Bob Burton, and Prissy Roberts, who helps lead the planning for the banquet. Regarding this year’s class of inductees, Burton said that the group includes “a lot of really good guys. These people here are baseball people.” Davis seemed right at home in the midst of a room full of “baseball people.” He was raised in Aston, Pa. and grew up as a Phillies fan. He was a standout at Malvern Prep where, as a senior, he hit .514 with six home runs and 37 RBIs. His high school accomplishments made him one of the top-ranked prospects in the country. The San Diego Padres
made Davis the second overall pick in the 1995 draft. As a top catching prospect, he moved quickly through San Diego’s farm system, making his major league debut on Sept. 25, 1998. Davis would enjoy a seven-year career, playing for San Diego, Seattle, and the Chicago White Sox until injuries shortened his time in the big leagues. After his playing days were over, Davis transitioned into broadcasting. He said that he really enjoys broadcasting and working as a color analyst for NBC Sports Philadelphia because he’s still involved with the game that he loves. “Next to playing, it is the best gig in the world,” Davis said. “I love talking baseball, and I hope that comes out in the broadcast.” Davis expressed his optimism about the direction that the Phillies are heading in under team president Andy MacPhail, general manager Matt Klentak, and new manager Gabe Kapler. In recent years, the Phillies’ farm system has produced some good, home-grown players like Rhys Hoskins, Aaron Nola, and J.P. Crawford. More top Continued on Page 4A

for a meeting to facilitate a conversation about the UHS mascot. In part, group members wanted to discuss the cultural sensitivity of using the Indian. The Identity Council planned to meet on Wednesday evening to further their discussions. “Then the posts started popping up on screens everywhere,” Sanville continued. “Some were curious; some were interested; some were angry. As the information spread, there were attacks on the students and the Identity Council. Misinformation was posted by The Kennett Paper and widely shared.

Keystone exams, and the 22 credits would remain.” The administration recommended keeping the Keystone requirement. Nolen pointed out that, “2017 was the first year that the Keystone requirement came into full effect. All of our students were able to meet the requirement. There were a few who met it through IEP goals, or additional pathways. The vast majority passed the Keystones, some on the second or third try. “Obviously, there is a difference of opinion in regard to testing, but from my perspective anyway, I’ve never wanted to take a test that didn’t mean a lot to me,” Nolen said. “I know at the high school, students are taking so many important tests, such as the SAT and AP exams, and when you put a test in front of them that doesn’t really mean as much … Well, I know a lot of students did their best, but I know that there were exceptions. The Keystone is testing what we teach, which is well-aligned to the state standards. To make sure it’s worthwhile, the adminsitration feels that the test should count for something. Students do have to take it. That is a state mandate, for both the PSSA and the Keystones.” Board member Gregg Lindner, who was listening to the meeting via telephone, said, “The state does not mandate it, as far as passing the Keystones to graduate. Most of the 499 other districts in the state are getting good information from the tests, but they just don’t require that students pass in order to graduate.” Board vice-president Victor Dupuis added, “If we’re going to make the kids take the test because the state requires it, it’s silly to not have it mean something to them. For that reason, I’ll be voting against this.” The vote was 8 to 1 to keep the graduation requirement in place in the district. Lindner was the dissenting vote. During public comment at the beginning of the meeting, a resident addressed the recent controversy surrounding changing the Indians mascot at the high school. A public meeting was canceled last week after online commentary on the issue became too heated. The administration will call another public meeting in the near future. Birmingham Township resident Scott Woodhouse told the board, “I grew up in western New York.
Things rapidly devolved and it is important that we understand the importance of these events. “Before we can examine the cultural sensitivity of the Indian mascot, we must first examine our own reactions to opening a discussion about it,” Sanville wrote. “I know we are a community filled with passion and pride. I also know we are a community that welcomes and supports opportunities to talk about things that impact us. I also know that a hot-button topic sometimes leads to emotionally charged and accusatory responses from adults, sometimes aimed at students. That is why the meeting was cancelled.
There needs to be a cooling-off period online so we can ensure an in-person gathering will be positive and productive. “So let’s all hit the pause button,” Sanville concluded. “Let’s allow the Indian to be the center of a dialogue where information and views are shared and responded to via respectful and meaningful conversation, in real time, with students, friends, and neighbors.” For updated information about district events, visit www.ucfsd.org.
My great-grandmother is a daughter of the chief of the Seneca tribe. The thing that bothered me the most about the discusssion was that, when Columbus arrived, he called the people who were already there Indians, but they weren’t Indians. They were Native Americans. Columbus got it wrong, but it’s not a big deal. Indians are from India. “If we really want to talk about the issue, let’s talk about the reservations,” Woodhouse said, citing the substandard health care offered to Native Americans. The issue of the Indians name is not a big issue, he said. “Native Americans poke fun at how absurd this is. It’s not about offending anybody, because they’re not Indians to begin with. ... What brought me here is my concern about what’s happening in the district, as a conservative parent. What we’re seeing more and more is that our kids are being taught on a very liberal side, and we only ask for it to be balanced.” Another resident addressed the proposed changes to the district’s policy regarding student suspensions. Unionville High School students who were caught smoking e-cigarettes at a football game last fall received varying school suspensions, leading some parents to complain to the School Board that the Code of Student Conduct for the district was perhaps too strict when it came to first-time offenders. Suspensions are reported on a student’s transcript, which in some cases excludes the student from applying to colleges of their choice. Under the current code, possession or use of any tobacco product is a level E offense, requiring a suspension from school of one to three days. At the Jan. 16 School Board work session, district superintendent John Sanville presented a new draft version of the policy, No. 218, that allows some leniency. The proposal allows a student to get a review if the suspension was a first
offense, and there were no other serious offenses. The student would submit a request in writing to the superintendent. If approved, the policy change could take effect in March, and would apply to all current Unionville High School students. The revised policy reads, in part, “The superintendent will not hold a hearing, but will consider the request on the basis of the documentary record, the seriousness of the offense, and such further investigation as he deems appropriate. At his discretion, he may request a meeting with the student and his or her parents of guardian. The superintendent shall issue a written decision to the student, granting or denying the request. Such decision shall be final.” Board members generally approve of the revision. At the board’s Jan. 16 work session, several, including John Murphy and Thomas Day, questioned whether Level A offenses – including “boisterous behavior,” failure to complete an assignment, being late to class or kissing another student – should be excluded. Sanville said the administration is working on the draft and will revisit the subject at a future meeting. The board voted unanimously to accept a proposal from Environmental Control Systems, Inc., that outlines the costs for removing two boilers at Hillendale Elementary School, both of which contain asbestos. The work will cost $34,497.50. The board also announced the results of its recent evaluations of Sanville and Nolen. Both were rated as ‘Distinguished’ regarding their performance standards. This was the first year that both the superintendent and the assistant superintendent were formally evaluated. Visit www.ucfsd. org for updated district information.

prospects, including Scott Kingery, Sixto Sanchez, Mickey Moniak, and Adam Haseley are on the way. Davis explained that the Phillies have now invested heavily in scouting, which should pay dividends in the coming years. Major league teams are also spending money to make sure that players throughout the farm system are eating properly and receiving the conditioning that they need to succeed. Regarding the new Phillies manager, Gabe Kapler, Davis pointed out that he played against Kapler in both the minor leagues and major leagues. “I’ve known him a lot of years,” Davis said. “He had one goal: To be the best player he could be. I know that he wants to be the best manager that he can be. He is intense. Gabe never took a play off.” Davis said that Kapler didn’t accept mental mistakes when he was playing the game, so he won’t accept them from his players now, which should help improve the Phillies’ play on the field. He believes that Hoskins will have a bright future, and will be a leader on the team. “First of all,” Davis said, “Hoskins is a great kid, and

Veterans Stadium might have been when he was able to secure an autograph of Dale Murphy, one of his favorite players. Davis also recalled the time outfielder Rickey Henderson went on a long bus trip with the team during spring training. Henderson was well into his hall of fame career at this point, and veterans rarely make such long trips during the spring. One of the players suggested that Henderson make one of the rookie players move from a seat in the front of the bus. “You’ve got tenure,” the veteran player explained. “Tenure?” Henderson responded. “I got twenty

Parking revenues up in Oxford Borough By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer In her first official report as mayor of Oxford Borough, Lorraine Bell informed borough council that the revenues generated from parking meter collections and parking tickets far out-paced what had been budgeted for the year of 2017. At the council meeting on Jan. 15, Bell reported that revenues from parking sources totaled $98,900 by the end of 2017, a significant increase over the previous year. The borough increased its parking rates for the first time in many years last summer. According to borough officials, when the costs of parking was 25 cents per hour, the revenues generated weren’t even sufficient to cover the borough’s ongoing costs of maintaining the parking spaces, leaving residents to offset those costs through the municipal taxes that they pay. Increasing the parking rates was a way to ensure that the costs of providing the parking spaces was being paid by the people actually using the parking spaces. The revenues for 2017 increased even though there
are still 132 un-metered spaces in the downtown where people can park for free. A plan is in place to add kiosks for three different parking lots to allow people to pay for the parking in these spaces once the parking meters are added to those lots. This should increase the parking revenues. The borough is in the process of securing funding to construct a parking garage in the business district that will offer more parking to Oxford residents and visitors to town. Bell also reported to council that she has had a busy first few weeks on the job, meeting with various stakeholders in the community, including members of the police department. In other business at the meeting, council member Robert Ketcham suggested the possibility of holding a public forum regarding the parking garage project. Ketcham, a newly elected council member, explained that he has heard from people in the community and the public forum might be beneficial to inform residents about some of the details pertaining to the project. Several council members
pointed out that a public forum specifically about the parking garage was held last year, and the project has also been discussed numerous times at public meetings for the last several years. Council member Ron Hershey suggested holding a public forum closer to the date when the construction work would start because it would be beneficial to inform residents about parking options once the construction work starts. Council president Sue Lombardi suggested having the Special Projects and Parking Committee discuss the idea of a public forum and determine when the best time would be to hold such a meeting. Randy Teel, a resident of Oxford, said that he thinks the public forum should be held early enough so that suggestions from residents could still be incorporated into the plans. The Jan. 15 meeting took place on the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday, and Ketcham raised a question about whether the borough might want to discuss moving the council meeting to another night in the future. “The nature of this holiday raises a lot of issues,”
Ketcham said. “I don’t object to us meeting, but I think the holiday slides by without any attention...” During the discussion that followed, it was pointed out that the borough is actually open on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day because it is not a holiday that is included in the current contract with borough employees. Borough manager Brian Hoover explained that since the borough is open that day, council has also historically held its meeting as scheduled. Borough employees have ten holidays off throughout the year, but Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is not one of them. “We meet on several other national holidays,” Hoover also noted. In another discussion item, new council member Amanda Birdwell inquired about whether it would be appropriate for borough council to archive the recordings of its meetings. Currently, the meetings are recorded, but once the minutes of the meetings are approved, the old recordings are discarded. Birdwell said that a resident had raised this issue. The borough’s solicitor, Stacey Fuller, an attorney with Gawthrop Greenwood,
PC., explained that the minutes of the meetings are the official records of what transpired. She said that she encourages the municipalities that she works with to follow the recommendation of the Pennsylvania State Association of Boroughs (PSAB) which is to not archive recordings of meetings. It can be timeconsuming and costly to keep all the recordings. The borough has retained the services of O’Donnell Appraisal Associates for appraisal work that is necessary for the borough to acquire easements for properties that are near the proposed site of the parking garage. Hoover explained that the borough is in negotiations with the owners of all three properties to gain the easements. In order to move forward on that, the property must be appraised and the value of the property as a
result of the easement must be determined. Geoff Henry offered a letter of interest to serve on the Civil Service Commission. Council unanimously approved his appointment. He is filling a vacancy that was created when Ketcham joined Oxford Borough Council. Council member John Thompson, who serves on the borough’s Police and Public Safety Committee, said that it was time for the borough to update the Civil Service exam list. The list is used any time the borough is hiring a full-time police officer. It takes time to update the list, so even though the borough might not have a need to immediately hire a police officer, it is necessary to keep the list of qualified candidates updated.

Letter to the Editor
Hope in the glow A voice for the Gwich’in people of flashlights Letter to the Editor:
Very late in the evening of Oct. 27, 2004, cemeteries all around New England slowly began to fill with middle-aged men, teary with the effects of what happens when redemption at last rubs against jubilation. From Bangor to Bridgeport, flashlights broke through the night, illuminating the names of those who lay waiting for their son’s arrival, or their grandson’s. One by one, each flashlight seemed to find its destination and remain there, lighting the way for the private pilgrimage of every man who had just left his home, his local tap room or the loneliness of his car radio so that he could reunite with the ghosts of his life and tell them that the wait was at last, finally over – the Boston Red Sox had just won their first World Series since 1918. A similar ritual was seen again early in the morning of Nov. 3, 2016, in cemeteries throughout the Midwest, when the news was shared that the Chicago Cubs had ended a 108-year-long drought to win the World Series. In all of these cemeteries, at all of these graves, grown men could not rationally explain away the reasons for their action to their wives and their families. How could they possibly understand that this midnight impulse comes from a sweet and sad place that began a long time ago, when they were small boys, when they were tugged by the hand through the turnstiles of a ballpark for the first time? How could they understand that which compels a father and a son, or an uncle and a nephew, to remain faithful to one team our entire lives, especially one that breaks our heart, season after season? And yet, whatever was said between headstones and visitors on these respective evenings, words likely flowed like absolute truth, and somewhere in the middle, a team, finally victorious, served as a mere conduit to the passage of time. Since their only championship in 1960, the exploits of the Philadelphia Eagles have served as the continuing conversation for four generations of their loyal legions. It is fodder for pessimists. It is the great punchline joke for those who root for the Giants or the Redskins or, dare we say it, the dreaded Cowboys, all of whom have Super Bowl trophies to boast of. From Bednarik to Bergey, from Buddy to Chip and everywhere in between, the pain of losing is real and the hole is palatable. Season after season falls away. The only thing that remains is hope. The 2017 Eagles season has served as a whirlwind of highs and lows for their fans, who have clung to the fortunes of a team led by an emerging young quarterback, a dedicated coaching staff, and a team-centered focus that has overcome a slew of injuries to key players. Their resilience in the face of adversity has galvanized Eagles Nation, and after two playoff wins against the Atlanta Falcons and the Minnesota Vikings, their story is now a part of the national conversation. On Feb. 4, they’ll take on the five-time Super Bowl champion New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII. From West Chester to Oxford to West Grove to Landenberg to Kennett Square, television sets and taprooms and car radios will tune in to the game, and the streets of these towns are likely to be nearly empty. Long into the night, well after the game has ended, it is our fervent wish that groups of middle-aged men – and women – will make solo journeys into the cemeteries where their loved ones lay buried. They will not be alone; the flicker of flashlights will pop like fireflies on a summer night and connect them all like kindred souls. Kelly green banners and Eagle caps will adorn the headstones of loved ones who never got to experience the ultimate joy of winning while they were alive. Whatever emotion comes in the wake of the long-awaited victory, it will serve as the private love letter that binds one generation to the other, and it will likely be heard in the form of a whisper. They did it, the visitors will say. They finally did it.

Ryan Costello was one of 12 House Republicans opposing the Senate proposal to allow oil and natural gas drilling in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). Yet, in the end, he voted with his party--not honoring his professed beliefs--and opened up the Arctic for fossil fuel drilling.
Imagine you are the Gwich’in people, the indigenous people of the Arctic whose way of life is at stake? It’s never too late to start respecting the people who were here before us and start honoring the many treaties we have broken. We should be moving away from fossil fuels, not looking for more opportunities to drill. Instead of embrac-
ing renewable energy, our country is maintaining the status quo by leaving the Paris Climate Agreement and other policies looking for climate solutions. If we can’t depend on our federal government to protect our environment, let’s turn to our own state: Rep. Chris Rabb (D) in the State House and State Senator Chuck McIlhinney (R) in
the State Senate recently introduced legislation that would move Pennsylvania to 100% renewable energy by 2050—creating clean energy jobs while cutting pollution. Contact your PA Representatives and make sure they support and cosponsor this initiative. Mary Ann Mack Phoenixville
Fetick signs letter about DACA Letter to the Editor: This is the letter that I signed last week regarding DACA: Dear Senator Casey, Senator Toomey, and Representatives Brady, Evans, Kelly, Perry, Thompson, Costello, Meehan, Fitzpatrick, Shuster, Marino, Barletta, Rothfus, Boyle, Doyle, Dent, Smucker, and Cartwright: The undersigned organizations and individuals are writing to ask that you support a vote on the Dream Act in the January spending bill. We are deeply troubled by the uncertain future of nearly 800,000 young immigrant DACA recipients, also known as Dreamers, who are already losing their legal status and need a legislative fix now. In Pennsylvania, nearly 5,900 individuals stand to lose their DACA
status and related protections if Congress doesn’t act. On average, Dreamers arrived in this country at the age of 6 years old and and know no other home than America. The DACA program has given immigrant youth the opportunity to come out of the shadows, work, and attend college. DACA recipients are studying to be teachers, doctors, and scientists. They are working to support themselves and their families, paying taxes, and contributing to their communities in a myriad of ways. In the absence of congressional action providing a permanent solution for Dreamers, the termination of DACA puts these young people and their families in peril and will destabilize schools, workplaces, and communities in our state. Already, 22,000 Dreamers with DACA will lose their
status and be susceptible to deportation by March 5, 2018 because they were unable to meet an October 5, 2017 deadline to renew due to improperly rejected applications and mail delays. In the state of Pennsylvania, last month ICE agents jailed Osman Aroche Enriquez, a DACA recipient whose status was rejected even though he properly filed his DACA renewal. By the end of January, nearly 18,000 individuals across the country will have already lost their DACA status and will be undocumented and subject to deportation. On March 5, 2018, the remainder of the almost 800,000 Dreamers will also begin to lose their DACA status and will no longer be able to renew their work permits. Studies have estimated that ending DACA will result in a loss of $460 billion from our
nation’s GDP over the next decade. In Pennsylvania, ending DACA will cost the state more than $357.1 million in annual GDP losses.3 Conversely, allowing immigrant youth to continue to participate in the economy will add $329 billion to the U.S. economy and create 1.4 million new jobs by 2030, demonstrating the potential to boost economic growth and improve our nation’s fiscal health. Pennsylvania alone would see annual state GDP gains between $230,014,000 and $766,715,000 from passage of the Dream Act. We stand with the immigrant youth in Pennsylvania and ask for your support in passing the bipartisan Dream Act this year. Sincerely, Mayor Matthew Fetick, Borough of Kennett Square (and 23 others)
Guest Column
Seven priorities: Counties work to improve communities, quality of life By Doug Hill Executive Director, County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania There are countless ways that Pennsylvania residents interact with their county governments every day, probably without even realizing it – everything from services for those with mental illness, intellectual disabilities and substance abuse issues, to child abuse investigations, to local court operations, to marriage certificates, mortgage, deeds and other document recording, to property assessment, to 911 call-taking and dispatch, to local bridges and mass transit and much more. Together, the leaders of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties have chosen seven priorities for 2018 that reflect this wide range of services. But more than that, our 2018 priorities are our promise to the residents of this state to work together with the commonwealth on solutions that better meet the needs of Pennsylvanians, reduce costs, assure quality services and make sure every taxpayer dollar is being used effectively. Counties’ top priority for 2018 focuses on the crucial human services and supports we provide that protect the most vulnerable. Our capacity to meet needs, though, has been strained by a steady decrease in state funding for more than a decade while mandates and caseloads continue to increase. A primary example of caseload growth in recent years is the nearly 30 new child welfare laws enacted in 2015. Washington County has experienced a 35 percent increase in referrals since the laws were implemented; Lebanon County, a 40 percent increase; and some
counties, more than 100 percent increases. But these new laws came without any additional state support, leaving our county children and youth agencies struggling to perform this important responsibility. Counties need the state and federal government to commit full funding that recognizes our mutual commitment to serve our citizens across all human services programs, and to review and identify potential reforms in the scope and administration of human services programs to better reflect our statecounty partnership. Also driving service needs is the toll of the opioid epidemic. For instance, a record 38 people died from overdoses in Lycoming County in 2017, while the Lawrence County coroner has had twice the number of autopsies than usual because of the crisis. This trend has become a major cost driver across county budgets for drug and alcohol services and other human services areas. We have seen progress in recent years, for example by expanding access to the overdose-reversal drug naloxone and by continuing to implement “warm handoff” protocols to help get overdose survivors directly into treatment. However, more can and must be done. For that reason, counties support the Governor’s recent action to declare the heroin and opioid crisis as a statewide disaster emergency. Counties have a critical role in addressing the epidemic, and increased collaboration between state and local officials to develop and implement a comprehensive approach, coupled with additional resources to expand local capacity, is important to the success of these efforts. Counties also support, as a priority, increasing access to
forensic beds in state hospitals for county inmates with mental illness and developmental disabilities. While the state and counties are already taking important steps to address this issue, it is a crisis that fails to effectively or compassionately address human need. Relatedly, we need a greater focus on expanding resources and treatment options for individuals with mental illness or a developmental disability, both within and outside of the prison system. Sadly, county jails have become our nation’s largest mental health facilities, and 19 counties have already adopted a resolution to actively support the national Stepping Up movement to reduce the number of people with mental illnesses in jails. Clinton County recently noted, as it approved new prison employees to focus specifically on mental health care, that it is more costeffective to provide mental health services than to house an inmate; if they don’t make those investments up front, 60 percent of inmates will likely return within three years. Two other areas where additional support is needed are in veterans’ services and in voting systems. To the first, counties provide important services to our veterans to assist them in their return to civilian life. But we can do better to keep our promise to support veterans and their families after the trauma of active service, and as a priority counties support federal and state resources to assure programs and services are adequate, timely and appropriate for veterans. Counties also take pride in their responsibility to maintain the integrity of the election system, from voter registration until the last vote
is counted. But most voting equipment is at the end of its useful life and will need to be replaced in the next few years. These replacement costs can quickly add up, with nearly 40,000 voting machines operated by our counties and the latest computerized machines costing between $2,500 and $3,000 each – not including programming, supplies and maintenance. We will need state and federal assistance to continue to uphold our responsibility for a fair and accessible voting system. Among all of these issues, counties continue to monitor ongoing state discussions regarding the potential of placing a severance tax on the natural gas industry. Our priority is to maintain the shale gas impact fee that was established in 2012, regardless of these discussions, keeping impact fee distributions as currently structured to benefit impacted local governments as well as counties throughout the commonwealth for at-risk bridges and environmental purposes. Counties cannot achieve any of these priorities alone. Although they all reflect state-mandated functions of counties, they are better thought of as a partnership between county and state government. Our final priority, itself an underlying theme across all of our priorities, is a pledge by counties to reengage the General Assembly and the administration in understanding and respecting the state-county partnership from both a financial and regulatory perspective. Pennsylvania counties are many things, but first and foremost, Pennsylvania counties are here to serve you. We take these priorities seriously, and we are committed to working together to achieve them.

Friends, musicians reflect on the life of musician Billy Penn Burger
‘He was the very definition of a good human being’ By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer On Jan. 6, the music community of Delaware and Chester County lost a piece of its soul when West Grove musician and recording artist Billy Penn Burger died.
He left behind a wife, a daughter, a grandson, a small nation of friends and colleagues, and a catalog of songs and performances that will be remembered by those who admired him as a musician and loved him as a friend. Musicians are stor ytellers, so in compiling a retrospective of a musician’s life, it seemed fitting to let their voices be heard. “Four years ago, I walked into the Kennett Flash to hear a singer/ songwriter I had been hearing so much about named Billy Penn Burger. I sat down, not knowing what to expect from the music or the artist. Billy and I had crossed paths many times over the years but never formally met until that night. Well, the performance began and I was blown away. Billy was an unpretentious performer, with sincere songs and an energy that filled the room. After meeting Billy that night and having a chance to chat, we figured it was
time for us to share the stage. “Billy already had a great band, so a bass player was the last thing he needed, but since I played upright bass, we made it work. We did our first gig together at the Bellefonte Cafe
-- just a duo -- and it really was a great night of music. “Over the next few years, I had the opportunity to share the stage a few more times with Billy and spend more time during rehearsals. I can say that he was one of the kindest, most gentle and talented individuals I have ever met. The music community suffered a great loss, but all that knew him will feel the loss of a wonderful person. I will miss him.” – Tony Cappella “In 1970, I was a 17-year-old with a guitar and big dreams, and I walked into the Main Point in Bryn Mawr to perform at an open-mic Sunday. Also there that day was a tall, skinny kid with a huge afro, who performed with his songwriting buddy. That skinny kid – Billy Burger – and I would eventually become lifelong friends. We discovered we had so much in common, especially when it came
Burger recorded several CDs in his long musical career.
to our taste in music. I loved his descriptive way of expressing how certain songs affected him in his early days of listening to AM radio. “What really mattered to Billy, both as a listener and as a writer, was the emotional impact a song could have. He was very aware of the power of a great song from a very early age and strove to achieve that in his own music. The amazing thing about Billy -- what astonished so many of us who played music with him -- was his ability to do this again and again. To be a really good songwriter, you need to not only have great musical ability, which he had, but you need to be, if not poetic, very good with words. Billy was poetic. A song he never got to record, “These Are the Times,” is a great example. I love all the words, but I just love this line: ‘Sometimes we lock our arms and go/one blind leap into the net below/ These are the times that I am living for.’ “I haven’t written yet about what a wonderful, gentle, loving man he was. Much has been written about that already, and it’s all true. He was also funny, witty and a joy to spend time with. I had the great fortune to spend a lot of time with him. I wish there could be more, but Billy would probably tell me not to be greedy. I will love him forever.” – Steve Prentice “My son Michael and I were rehearsing for a Crossroads concert with Billy when he brought us his song, ‘For The Ones I Love.’ I played a rehearsal recording of it in the car the morning after the presidential election last year. When Billy sang the line, ‘It won’t really matter what I say in this song, if I’m not strong for the ones I love,’ I lost it. I called Michael, who told me that on his morning break, he too had listened to the song
Throughout his career, Billy Penn Burger collaborated with several singersongwriters in concerts throughout Delaware and Chester County.
Musicians are storytellers, so in compiling a retrospective of a musician’s life, it seemed fitting to let their voices be heard. over and over again, sobbing. “I had the honor of the playing the Pacem in Terris Peace Concert with Billy just this past June, the only time I played bass and sang harmonies with the Billy Burger Band. We kicked out a soaring version of Bob Dylan’s ‘Blowin’ In The Wind’ and a gentle rendering of Billy’s ‘Four Words,’ which urges, ‘Make love not war, give peace a chance.’ “Billy intended on performing with me, my wife Donna and Michael at an event at The Flash this past September, but he was too ill to be there, so our family performed a version of Billy’s haunting song ‘The Other Side,’ which includes the refrain: ‘Is it a circle of life that’s goin’ round and round, or more like a river flowin’ on and on, or just the sun comin’ up on one side of the world, when the light on the other side is gone.’ Billy’s songs and the person were one and the same, the expression of a gentle, caring, compassionate, loving person. I know that his songs will live on in our hearts and through our voices.” – Dennis Melton
“Billy was one of those musicians who continuously reinvented himself. From The Get Right Band in the late 1970s and 1980s to The Billy Penn Project in the 1990s, to his latest solo work as a singer/songwriter, he truly did it all. His songs are gorgeous, his lyrics evocative, and he churned them out at an almost alarming rate. He won awards, received critical accolades, and played to sold-out houses. Anyone who ever worked with him will tell you all of those things. “But invariably, any discussion of Billy will quickly turn into a discussion of what an incredibly nice guy he was. He was the very definition of a good human being. It sounds corny, but he just exuded calm, kindness, and peace. Billy was extraordinarily giving to young songwriters and musicians, and always with a smile and an encouraging word, no matter what. There really just aren’t enough superlatives. “Billy Burger was hugely talented without a hint of arrogance, sweet and kind without being saccharine, and socially passionate without
being angry. I admired him in so many ways. He was a true gentleman, and a truly gentle man, and there is surely a little less light in the world without him.” – Biff McNeil “Easy Flow. This is probably the best way I can capture Billy Penn Burger’s essence in a few words. After he passed, I really dug into his catalog of music. There was something special about Billy that transcended directly from his personality into his music. This was his ability to make you feel like things were going to be OK, no matter what was going on. “In person, Billy was known for his inclusive, warm-hearted character, which truly defines a piece of his soul that he shared in person and through music. Whether he was singing a sad song about heartache or death, or just telling a non-dramatic story about the weather, Billy’s music relaxed you. It made things feel easy. “I am sad that I never got the chance to perform with Billy. He was a true songwriter, and like many of us musicians, he let his heart bleed through music so that listeners could rest easy knowing that pain was not unique, but it is something we can all share and celebrate as humans.” – Bill Rose To contact Staff Writer Richard L.

ANNE BEATTY
JEFFREY W. BODDY
TRUMAN J. CLARY
Anne “Kathy” Beatty, 75, of Kennett Square, died on Jan. 12 at Penn Wissahickon Hospice in Philadelphia. She was the wife of George D. Beatty, with whom she shared 52 years of marriage. Born in Passaic, N.J., she was the daughter of the late Gregory Listner and Ann (Hasten) Listner, who lives in Monroe Township, N.J. Kathy was a college counseling administrator at Westtown School, where she was referred to as “Teacher Kathy” by the students for over 30 years before retiring in spring 2017. Her passion was working with students to help them achieve their goals. She was a longtime member of St. Patrick Catholic Church in Kennett Square, where she attended regularly with her son, Gregory, during his school years. Kathy was all about her family. She was the epitome of a “Soccer Mom,” coaching her son Gregory’s SCCSA soccer team during his youth. She volunteered at almost all of Gregory’s activities, from high school band trips to New York, to his soccer matches and everything in between. Her commitment to Gregory continued into his college years at Bucknell University, where she never missed a soccer event. In recent years, Kathy loved being a grandmother and spending time with her granddaughters, who called her Mimi. Survivors include, in addition to her mother and husband, one son, Gregory Beatty and his wife Alexis Ogdie-Beatty of Philadelphia; two granddaughters; and one brother, Greg Listner and his wife Gloria of Kendall Park, N.J. A funeral was held Jan. 21. Contributions in her memory may be made to St. Patrick Catholic Church, 205 Lafayette St., Kennett Square, PA 19348.

Fresh voices at Art Alliance’s Lincoln University exhibit By John Chambless Staff Writer
The Lincoln University Visual Arts Exhibit, which opened last weekend at the Oxford Arts Alliance, is the first of its kind, and long overdue. It spotlights fresh voices and has a satisfying breadth of mediums, providing some striking images. The painted clay vessel by Ny’Daaja Davis, “Handprints of Africa,” has a wonderful glaze that functions as a landscape – dark earth, green-blue water and white sky, marked with two large, black handprints. Dwight Lacy’s large acrylic paintings of semi-abstracted faces are friendly and fun, particularly the two-panel “Conversation.” Cheyenne Coston’s silkscreen/digital prints “Strong Black Woman” and “Kawren” are bold images of empowerment. Cornelius Pearson III shows three prints from what looks like a superhero animated film, with a powerful-looking hero, leading you to want to see more of the adventure. Photographer Daniel Ray Williams has two wonderful closeup portraits – “Masked Woman,” particularly – that demand attention. On the other hand, Hazziza
Abdullah’s photos, “Blue Man” and “Tension,” are dimly lit and mysterious, revealing little but the eyes of the subjects, and drawing you in to see more. Whitney McQueen’s two dashiki cotton tops have bold lines that put a modern spin on traditional patterns. Students in two printmaking classes have collaborated on two large silkscreen panels that skillfully blend colors and text in fresh new ways. The video by Marcellus Armstrong that’s shown on the back gallery wall expands the range of media nicely, and its found-image structure will hold you intrigued. Dorian McKinney has four paintings that put a resonant twist on classic artworks by replacing their white subjects with people of color, and augmenting the canvases with fragments of mirror, putting the observer into the artwork in shattered scraps of reflection. They are memorable statements. But Wasaba Sidibay gets straight to your heart with her three marker drawings that resemble stained glass windows but depict harrowing images of a tragic past. “Meditations of the Heart: Strange Fruit” shows a lynching, with the victim’s feet
Printed dashikis by Whitney McQueen.
dripping blood. “Emmett Till: I’m Still Grieving” abstracts the horrific disfigurement of Till, who was murdered by racists in 1955. Sibiday’s “Why Do Children Suffer?” is also raw and tragic, if only slightly less shocking than her other two pieces. Taken as a whole, they are riveting. On Jan. 24 at 7 p.m., exhibit curator and Lincoln professor Jeffrey Chapp will lead a gallery talk about the history
of Lincoln University’s art department. Alumni, students and professors will gather to talk about this student show. The exhibition continues through Feb. 10. Gallery hours are Tuesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visit www.oxfordart.org for more information. To contact Staff Writer John Chambless, email jchambless@ chestercounty.com.

Local News ARREST IN ROBBERY On Jan. 12, a man entered Hostetter’s Market at 479 Limestone Rd., Lower Oxford Township, and demanded money. He fled with cash, according to Pennsylvania State Police
Avondale. After an investigation, police arrested Michael John Ritchie, Jr., 34, of Cochranville, for the robbery. TERRORISTIC THREATS Pennsylvania State Police
Avondale have accused Nicole Robinson, 51, of Landenberg, with threatening to kill police, the District Attorney and her brother during a phone call on Dec. 28 of last year. She was charged with making terroristic threats. DUI CHILD ENDANGERMENT Southern Chester County Regional Police arrested Jose S. Lopez-Nunez, 37, of Kennett Square, on Jan. 17 for two counts each of
endangering the welfare of children and recklessly endangering another person after he knowingly allowed his two minor children to be passengers in a vehicle driven by a DUI operator. The incident occurred on Jan. 17 at about 9:30 p.m. in the 1500 block of Baltimore Pike, New Garden Township. The driver of the vehicle, Sergio Lopez, was arrested for DUI and LopezNunez, also a passenger in the vehicle, was taken into

approximately $1,410. A check of area pawn shops revealed that Griffin had pawned the victim’s tools at a business in Delaware.

UHS senior is named Miss Congeniality by State Association of County Fairs Varshika Mandalapu, a West Chester resident and Unionville High School senior, won Miss Congeniality at the 106th Annual PA State Association of County Fairs Convention on Jan. 20 in Hershey. This is the first time a Unionville Fair Queen has attained this honor. The selection came from the votes of all the contestants. In 2011, the UCF Queen Claire Werkiser was crowned State Fair Queen. Present at the coronation banquet were Varshika’s parents, Ravi and Kavitha,
her sister Anushka and her brother Dhanush, Unionville Fair treasurer Jeff Lewis and his wife Debbie, Fair Queen coordinator Debbie Pritchard and her husband David, board members and past presidents Bonnie Musser and Danielle Chamberlain, and Lauren Chamberlain, who is the reigning Fair Princess. Debbie Pritchard, Fair Queen coordinator for Unionville, has supported Varshika. During the banquet, Pritchard said, “Our community should be extremely proud of this amazing young
lady.” Musser agreed and added, “Varshika is lovely young woman with an engaging personality. We have all just fallen in love with her this week.” Varshika is heavily involved in her school’s drama program and is the president of the UHS political society. In school, she is part of Model UN, Reading Olympics, Club Wave, and Girl Up Feminist Club, Club Impact and UHS Rugby. She volunteers at local hospitals, the fair, and school events. The competition consisted of 58 County Fair Queens
representing about half of the county fairs across the state. Each contestant introduced themselves in the evening gown ceremony, completed an interview with a panel of state judges, and presented a persuasive speech. The PA Fair Queen Program mission is to provide educational opportunities for young women in Pennsylvania through scholarships and to provide a representative who can promote greater public understanding, awareness and interest in the state’s top industries of agriculture and tourism.
