U-CF approves salary increase for district superintendent By John Chambless Staff Writer

During a marathon meeting on Jan. 23, the UnionvilleChadds Ford School Board voted unanimously to give district superintendent John Sanville a substantial raise and a new five-year contract, sparking some concern from several residents. Public comment and interviews of four candidates to fill a school board vacancy took up two and a half hours. During comment, former school board member Holly Manzone told the board, “Yesterday, we saw a sudden decision to give the superinKennett Old Timers Baseball welcomes new tendent a 20 percent increase in his pay. This evening, you members....8A plan to give him a $255,000 contract. I don’t get that at all. What about your fiduciary duty? Why would you do that? I believe a salary of $255,000 a year is completely out of line, given that he makes $214,000 now. There’s a huge increase. Other districts, with the

exception of I believe it’s Downingtown, pay considerably less. Downingtown has three times the number of students that we have here. What’s going to happen the next time the teachers have a contract come up? Are they going to get a 20 percent increase? Are they going to get a five-year contact? You really need to think about the consequences of your actions.” Resident Tom Drake of East Marlborough Township commented that, “Dr. Sanville’s salary is $214,000 and he’s requesting a raise. In all due respect, where is this justifiable? In the community, we’re looking for 1 to 5 percent annual increases. But 20 percent? That’s pretty high. At what point is this salary request pure greed?” Amy Baram of Pocopson Township told the board, “I think John is a fabulous leader. We’ve had great conversations. I’ve seen him work hard, work long hours, Continued on Page 6A

the intention of marching against Trump’s policies. She found a gridlock of women, men and children who came to make their voices heard. While there was no room to actually march, Murray feels better having been part of the historic event. Sitting in the living room of her home near the Lincoln University campus on Monday morning,

Murray traced the arc of her longtime involvement with politics and social justice. She said that her parents weren’t overtly political, but she vividly remembers her mother coming home, closing the front door behind her and crying because “our President,” Franklin Roosevelt, had passed away. “We were just devastated, and we all Continued on Page 3A

New board leads Kennett New Garden to Library into the future include library tax

referendum on fall ballot, again

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer On Nov. 1, 2016, the Library Director Search Committee for the Kennett Library, headed by board member Dr. Brenda Williams Mercomes, began to review the qualifications of 20 candidates in an effort to find the right person to replace former director Donna Murray, who had resigned in order to become the director of the Ridley Township Public Library. From the stack of resumes, the committee conducted interviews with eight finalists, both on Skype and in person. In December, after a strong recommendation by the committee, the Kennett Library Board of Trustees unanimously chose 30-year-old Megan Walters as the library’s new director.

Walters’ CV was already weighted heavily in experience: She was managing a branch of the Denver Public Library, and before that, served as the interim director of the Cooper Memorial Library in Opelika, Ala. Yet, it was during her first visit to the library, as a candidate, where the intangibles that Walters carries with her

shone immediately. She connected with the young staff through an infectious enthusiasm; she gravitated to their ideas, as if to imply that the future of libraries rested on their vision and courage to redefine the entire definition of what a library is now, and what it should be in the future. In a way, the start of Continued on Page 3A

Oxford School Board votes to keep tax increase below Act 1 Index limit By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer Taxes in the Oxford Area School District will not increase by more than the Act 1 Index limit of 3.5 percent this year after a vote by the Oxford School Board on Jan. 17. The Oxford School Board unanimously approved a resolution to stay within the Act 1 Index for the 20172018 school year. The Act 1 Index is calculated by the Pennsylvania Department of Education and establishes the maximum school-tax increase that is allowable without approval by resi-

dents in a referendum. By adopting this opt-out resolution, Oxford will not have to speed up the budgetary process to allow for a referendum on the tax increase in the Primary Election. School districts that exceed the Act 1 Index limit must either secure approval for the tax increase through a referendum or be granted referendum exceptions as a result of the Taxpayer Relief Act that was approved by the Pennsylvania State Legislature in 2006. Board member Howard Robinson pointed out that the approval of the resolution only sets 3.5 percent as

This November, for the second time in three years, New Garden Township’s election ballot will include a library tax referendum for the Kennett Library. Resolution #766 was approved by a vote of 4-0 by the township’s board of supervisors at its Jan. 17 meeting. The referendum will read as follows: “Do you favor increasing New Garden Township’s real estate property tax by 0.100 mills, the revenue from such increase to be used exclusively to fund the operation of the Kennett Library?” “I just can’t tell you how delighted we are for

this opportunity to gain more support for our local library,” said Jim DeLuzio, the New Garden Township representative on the Kennett Library board. “Kennett Library has been a wonderful service to the community for a tremendous amount of time, and we’re looking forward to continuing that.” DeLuzio told the board that if the referendum is passed, it would add for a home valued at $175,000 an additional $17.50 in taxes, that would be directed toward the library. “If someone wanted to join the Hockessin Library, there is a fee of $40.

the maximum amount of a tax increase, and it does not set the tax increase at 3.5 percent. Robinson said that he is hopeful that the actual tax increase that is needed to balance the budget will be less than 3.5 percent. Board member Joseph Tighe, who serves on the district’s Finance and Budget Committee, lauded the administrators and teachers in the district for their work to limit expenditures. He explained that district officials originally anticipated needing to dip into the fund reserve to cover a significant rev-

Andrew Dinniman, the Chester County Democrats, through Commissioner Cozzone, have decided to renounce responsibility as minority Party Commissioner. Cozzone has decided that she supersedes the state Constitution and has abandoned her role to disagree with her two GOP Commissioners. So all major decisions are now handed down as unanimous, including the 5 percent millage increase for 2017. Dinniman, who was minority County Commissioner for many terms and now is a state Senator, did no such thing as abrogate his vote of dissent, challenged his GOP colleagues on many occasions, and did not vote with the GOP majority many, many times -- always stating his reasons for dissent.

Overton encourages youngsters to pursue their dreams at Spirit of Giving Luncheon By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer Doug Overton, a Philadelphia basketball legend and the coach of the Lincoln University men’s basketball team, encouraged youngsters to pursue their dreams and give back to their communities at the annual Spirit of Giving Luncheon at the Penn’s Grove Middle School cafeteria in Oxford on Jan. 16. The Spirit of Giving Luncheon was started 27 years ago as a way to raise money for the Oxford Area Neighborhood Services Center, the Oxford non-profit organization that helps less fortunate families in southern Chester County. Overton, an 11-year NBA veteran, spoke glowingly about the room full of volunteers who were there to support the activities of the Oxford Area Neighborhood Ser vices Center. Overton talked about the importance of community and of volunteerism, and shared some of his own experiences giving back to the community.

Many local basketball fans will recall that Overton played alongside Bo Kimble and Hank Gathers on a Dobbins Technical High School team that won a city championship in Philadelphia. Overton went on to play guard at La Salle University, helping to lead the team to three NCAA Tournament appearances. He scored 1700 points while doing so. Overton was drafted by the Detroit Pistons in 1992. During his pro career with the Pistons, Washington Wizards and Philadelphia 76ers, Overton scored 2,253 points in 499 games. “I’m a big Doug Overton, fan,” said Jim McLeod, an organizer of the Spirit of Giving Luncheon as he made his introductory speech. McLeod explained that he follows Atlantic Ten Conference basketball closely, and Overton is one of the memorable players. Overton explained that before he became the head coach at Lincoln University, he had several relatives who graduated from there, so he knew

Oxford Area School District students once again volunteered at the luncheon, helping to serve the food and handling other tasks during the event. The Oxford Rotary InterAct Club also assisted at the luncheon.

the school and its campus from attending several graduation ceremonies. He said that he is excited for the opportunity to build up the basketball program, and he encouraged local residents to follow the team because Lincoln University is a part of this community. When Overton was growing up, he dreamed of a career in the NBA, but people in his also cautioned him to have an alternate plan for his future if he didn’t become a professional basketball player. To the students in attendance, Overton said, “You should start thinking about what you want to do. You want to have a Plan A and a Plan B.” Overton recalled wanting to be a teacher if he couldn’t play in the NBA. Now, as a coach, he’s really combining the basketball with the teaching, and he’s very happy to be the head coach of Lincoln University. “I’ve living proof that [dreams] can come true,” Overton said. He also talked about how, when his daughter was

younger, she came to him and said that she wanted to attend a science camp that summer. Overton was able to get her into a camp, and it set her on her course. Overton explained proudly that she is now a freshman at Yale University, and she’s pursuing a degree related to science. Overton said that he does everything he can to help youngsters. Last summer, before he coached his first game with Lincoln University, Overton organized a basketball camp that was open to children in the community. More than 75 people took part in the camp. “We’re all here to give back to the kids,” Overton explained. “Isn’t it all about making kids’ dreams come true?” Overton observed that by helping so many families, the Neighborhood Services Center was helping youngsters in the community. The Spirit of Giving Luncheon was started in 1990 by a group of community leaders and

business people who wanted to raise funds for the Neighborhood Services Center. Initially, the luncheon took place right before Christmas, but in 2008, when the Oxford Area School District joined as a partner, the luncheon was moved to the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday, joining together the spirit of the event with the spirit of King’s life and legacy. All the proceeds from the event will be used by the Oxford Area Neighborhood Services Center to provide nutritious food, financial assistance for housing, heating, utility services, and health care assistance for individuals and families in need. The Neighborhood Services Center has been serving the community since 1971. “Today’s luncheon is an effort to raise much-needed funds for the Neighborhood Services Center,” explained Jim McLeod, who was part of the group that started the Spirit of Giving Luncheon. “It’s a vital organization, and we’re fortunate to have it in the community.” While the event raises funds for the Oxford Area Neighborhood Services Center, executive director Cheryl McConnell pointed out that, “This day is not about us. It’s about community. We couldn’t do what we do without all the volunteers.” McConnell also paid tribute to two important supporters of the Oxford Area Neighborhood Services Center who passed away in the last year: Mary McLeod and Miriam “Mim” Herr. McLeod was, along with her husband, Jim, one

of the founders of the Spirit of Giving Luncheon. Herr was a board member and a longtime supporter of the organization through the years. Because of the efforts of people like McLeod and Herr, the Neighborhood Services Center has been serving people in the community for 46 years. The Neighborhood Services Center helps thousands of families each year by providing food and clothing or assistance with housing and utilities. The Neighborhood Services Center advocates on behalf of clients, and serves as a vital link to other resources. Most recently, the Neighborhood Services Center provided gifts to 256 children at Christmas and, through a partnership with the Oxford Presbyterian Church, delivered 124 Christmas food boxes to families in need in the area. “This is a community effort,” McConnell said. “We thank you all for that.” Attendees of the event included local business and community leaders. Connie Winchester, the longtime executive director of the Neighborhood Services Center who is now retired, was also recognized. State Rep. John Lawrence and County Commissioner Terence Farrell were also in attendance. Farrell spoke briefly at the luncheon, talking about how he grew up in Oxford and went to school with some of the people in the room, and was taught by others at the luncheon. Noting the presence of a large contingent of high school students, Farrell said that it was good to have them at an event that honors the legacy of Civil Rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Farrell noted that the 50th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. will be in 2018. “It’s great to see the students here for this,” Farrell said. “It’s great that we are all here honoring Dr. Martin Luther King’s legacy.” The Spirit of Giving Luncheon is one of several events planned throughout the year to benefit the Oxford Area Neighborhood Services Center. On Saturday, Feb. 4, the Oxford Empty Bowls luncheon will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Penn’s Grove Middle School cafeteria. A $20 contribution entitles a person to a painting bowl and a ticket to the luncheon, where soup and bread will be served. All the proceeds from the event benefits the Oxford Area Neighborhood Services Center’s food bank. On Saturday, April 8, a 46th anniversary celebration and auction will take place at the Sacred Heart Church. Then, on Friday, May 12, the second annual golf tournament is scheduled to begin with a 12:30 p.m. tee time at the Wyncote Golf Club. The Oxford Area Neighborhood Services Center can be contacted at 610-932-8557. To contact Staff Writer Steven Hoffman, email editor@chestercounty.com.

cried,” Murray said. “He was beginning his fourth term, and the war was still on, and Vice President Truman was untested. We wondered what he knew about running a war. But he stepped up to the plate.” Murray has lived in Chester County since 1949. Her husband was a Dean at Lincoln’s divinity school at the time, and later the chairman of the religion department. When the couple moved in, “we were told that the only important election was the Republican Primary,” Murray said. “It was just a matter of which Republican you wanted, because there was no chance for any Democrat to ever win. I was a registered Republican until Spiro Agnew, and then I could no longer be a Republican.” She remembers “cross burnings just over the state line” in Maryland, as well as the anti-Communist rhetoric of Joseph McCarthy, and the anti-war demonstrations and pro-civil rights movements of the 1960s and 1970s. She served as a Democratic committee person for 35 years, and ran against Sen. Art Hershey in 1990. But the ascendancy of Donald Trump mystifies her. “Oxford went for Trump in the primary,” she said. “I know he was a celebrity from appearing on ‘The Apprentice,’ although I never watched his TV show. So I guess if you watch somebody on TV every week, you might feel like you know them. He had name recognition, and at his rallies, he threatened people. Apparently that appeals to a large number of people. “I don’t understand it,” Murray said. “The things he has said about women, and starting to talk about registering Muslims. Well, I lived through World War II, and I’m well aware of what happened in the 1930s. I’ve never been able to understand how Germany – a country that was educated and sophisticated – would decide that they were going to exterminate a whole segment of their population.” Murray also sees distinct parallels between Trump’s call to register Muslims and the Japanese internment camps of World War II, when an entire group of people was painted as suspect for their ancestry alone. “That is not Democracy,” she said. “I’m not saying that a Holocaust is around the corner in the United States, but I am saying that anything is possible, especially with somebody who admires a strongman like Putin. If that’s Trump’s model, we’re in more trouble than we think.” Murray watched Trump’s campaign rallies and speeches, and was shocked by how he attacked opponents and the press. “On Election Night, I thought Hillary Clinton had it in the bag,” she said. As the inauguration drew nearer, and the internet-led Women’s March in Washington was tak-

ing shape, “My three nieces – who live in Seattle, Southern California and Colorado -- emailed me about the march and asked if they could stay at my house,” Murray said. “My daughter lives in New York City and asked about me going, but I said I couldn’t stand up that long. She said, ‘What about a wheelchair?’ I said, ‘Well, OK,’” Murray recalled, smiling. Murray, her nieces and her daughter were part of a group aboard a bus to the march that was chartered by the Women’s Rights Coalition of Southern Chester County. “All four of them took turns pushing me, so they’re the heroes,” she said. In Washington, she said, the unexpectedly large crowd struggled to find where the march was taking place. “One of the chants was, ‘This is what Democracy looks like,’” Murray said. “And that is so true. My daughter and my nieces had their phones out and were watching the worldwide protests. It was very moving. Nobody was complaining. There were a lot of signs, a lot of families with young children, and there were men there. I got interesting reactions because I was sitting in a wheelchair. Maybe five different people asked to take my picture. One person touched me on the arm and said, ‘Good for you.’ I didn’t see anything negative. It was incredibly peaceful. There wasn’t a single arrest.” While she didn’t get close enough to the speakers platform to hear what was said, Murray felt that just being in the midst of what many are calling the largest global protest in history was very gratifying. “During the Vietnam War, the demonstrations had a soberness to them,” she said, “because we knew lives were being lost. This one didn’t feel that way, but there was a sense that we’re going in the wrong direction and we need to do a correction.” Murray said she attended her first demonstration in 1966, when her husband was a visiting fellow at Princeton University for a year. “We were members of a peace group there, and George Wallace was running for President and he came to speak at Princeton. So we all got tickets,” she said. “We spread out all over the auditorium, and when he was walking up to speak, we all stood up and

This group rented a bus and we went there. I wanted to show that I was not a hippie, so I wore pumps, a skirt, a blue coat, a purse on my arm, and little white gloves. All we did was walk in a circle, holding some signs. I was told somebody took a photo and it appeared in print – nameless, thankfully.” Murray said Donald Trump’s inauguration speech was chilling. “It was dark,” she said. “An inauguration speech should be one about working together. There was none of that. It was just dark. It was like one of his rally speeches.” But the thing that frightens her the most is Trump’s stated willingness to place nuclear weapons on the table in his international negotiations. “He said during an interview, ‘What’s the use of having weapons if you’re not going to use them?’” she said. “He said that. On television.” In her many years of Presidents coming and going, Murray said Trump is the worst. “Right now, I believe that,” she said. “He’s so negative on every front. … I don’t think he can identify with people’s feelings. He’s all strategy. The least little thing that is said against him, he cannot bear. It’s almost like a child. I watched him during the primary, when he would destroy his opposition, insult other candidates and denigrate the media. And he lies so easily.” Murray said vigilance is going to be called for, along with support for groups working for justice, such as the Southern Poverty Law Center and the ACLU. “Both of them are very tuned in to all of the abuses that will occur,” she said. “We all have to find our mark, and say, ‘No, this is not acceptable,’ The main thing is to vote. Be aware locally, and support any elected person who is trying to do the right thing. Let your representatives know what you want them to do. Do not back down. Everybody needs to pay attention. It’s too important not to.”

by $23,” DeLuzio said. “It’s a win-win for everyone, especially at a time when libraries are proving their value to communities across the country.” The primary reason for including the referendum on the November ballot will be to boost the proportionally low annual contribution the township has been making to the library. According to the library’s fair share calculations, New Garden is supposed to be responsible for 8.5 percent of the library’s annual total budget, but only funds 1.3 percent to the library every year. In recent years, the township has given the library $10,500 in annual contributions; this year, they increased that figure to $12,000 -- about one dollar per resident. Last year, the library received $15,500 from the township. Currently, the township makes up 28 percent of the population of the eight municipality areas that are served by the library, about 18 percent of its cardholders, as well as 23 percent of the library’s assessed

property values – all of which factor into what the township is supposed to kick back to the library every year. DeLuzio said if the referendum is passed, it would place the township into a “fair share designation.” In 2014, the New Garden board voted 5-0 to include a similar library tax referendum on that year’s November ballot, asking township residents if they would be in favor of establishing an annual dedicated library tax for the Bayard Taylor Memorial Library -- as the library was called then -- beginning in 2015. If passed, each household in the township would have been required to pay a little more than $37 a year in a dedicated library tax. The referendum was narrowly defeated, as 1,279 residents – or 42.67 percent – voted “Yes,” and 1,404 – or 52.33 percent – voted “No.” Township solicitor Vince Pompo brought the board up to date on the continuing negotiations related to the sale of the township’s sewer system to Pennsylvania Wastewater, Inc., for the price of $29.5

million, which was officially approved on Aug. 15, 2016. Pompo said that Aqua filed its application for the sale with the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) on Dec. 15, 2016, which is now being reviewed by the PUC. “We continue to work on the most important aspects of the transaction, in order to get to the closing, and that’s to resolve any title issues concerning the parcels of land that are integral to the system, as well as easements and rights to all sewer lines,” Pompo said. Pompo said that the schedule has been set up for a hearing that will be held in late April or early May, in order to have the application signed within 100 days of the date the application was filed. Given the fact that the township is a party to the sale, Pompo asked for and received approval from the board to authorize the filing a petition to permit the township to intervene in the proceedings of the sale. Pompo also updated the board about the township’s negotiations for the acquisition of Green Valley Farm, a 178-acre property,

which the township officially entered into on Feb. 23, 2015, for the price of $2.3 million. Since then, the acquisition has been tarnished by nearly two years of delays, exacerbated by those on the other side of these negotiations. Warren Reynolds, a former township supervisor whose family has owned and managed this property since 1904, is currently serving a prison sentence for the possession of more than 500 images of child pornography. Meanwhile, his brother John is incapacitated and therefore incapable of managing his own affairs. Subsequently, in 2016, the attorney for John Reynolds filed a petition with the Orphans’ Court in the City of Philadelphia, for approval of the proposed conservation easement on the property and the agreement of sale. The Orphans’ Court is a division of the Philadelphia Judicial System, which serves to protect the personal and property rights of all persons and entities who are otherwise incapable of managing their own affairs. Over the course of these

negotiations, supervisor Pat Little -- who is now the board chairman -- has served as the most vocal opponent of the township’s involvement in acquiring the property. Twice -- on Jan. 19 and May 16, 2016 -- Reynolds requested that the board again enter into a motion to reconsider the deal. Pompo told the supervisors at the Jan. 17 meeting that a conference related to the case was held on Jan. 18 to examine how the case was being handled in Orphans’ Court. He said that he would submit a request for a stipulation that would allow the Reynolds family and their attorneys to communicate with Pompo “as to the exact specifics of what’s going on in this matter. “We want to see if we can get the parties to agree that we should know what’s going on in the proceedings,” Pompo said. “There may be more substantive orders related to the issue, but no one can tell me that, at this time.” “My gut reaction is to go ahead and pull it, but I will hold off at least one more month, until we find

out what’s going on,” Little said. “We always have the ability to do it again, but in my mind, this is past ridiculous.” “I think it’s frustrating that it has taken so long to get to this point, and we’re to the point now when we’re filing with the hope that we can even get information,” said supervisor Randy Geouque, who voted against the acquisition. “To me, its just been a very frustrating process.” In other township business, the board approved the appointment of 14 members to the Comprehensive Plan Update Committee. They are Steve Allaband, Jackie Manfredi Basciani, Jim DeLuzio, Steven Dooley, Ronald Dungey, Pat Little, Stan Lukoff, William Marsden, Jon Martin, Kati Parlier, Chris Robinson, Tony Scheivert, Julius Tilley and Jane Waggoner. The committee will meet on the second Monday of every month, and will include meetings that will be open to the public.

Club at the school. But having a chapter, Reyburn said, would open up new opportunities for students. The students would have the chance to benefit from the leadership and community service component of FFA chapters, and they would also have scholarship and career development opportunities. Reyburn said that she thinks approximately 15 students currently attend FFA Club meetings, but she also knows of several families who send their children to other schools specifically because they want to belong

to an FFA chapter. Other families have middle school children who will be moving up to the high school and would be interested in belonging to an FFA chapter. Superintendent David Woods said that providing agricultural education to students is important to the district. He noted that Oxford had reintroduced an agriculture science program through a partnership with the Technical College High School. Woods asked Reyburn to give him some time so that he and high school principal James Canaday can research what

is required to transition to an FFA chapter. Steve Roberts, the president of the Oxford Educational Foundation, informed the school board that, with the addition of the three new volunteers who were approved by the board this month, there are now 90 volunteers. One of the services that the Oxford Area Educational Foundation provides to the district is to identify volunteers who can support the school district’s mission to educate students. Many of the volunteers serve as mentors or tutors to students in the district.

Roberts said that the goal is to get the number of volunteers up to 100. Board member Robert Tenga was appointed to serve as the board’s representative to the Chester County School Boards Legislative Council Representative Committee. January is School Director Recognition Month, and Woods recognized the nine school board members for their efforts to serve the community. Woods noted that the average director devotes 16 to 20 hours each month to work on the school board.

The school board accepted and approved the annual audit report for the fiscal year that ended on June 30, 2016. The report, which was completed by Barbacane, Thornton & Company, found no issues. The Oxford School Board will hold its next work session on Tuesday, Feb. 14 and its next regular meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 21. Both meetings will take place at 7 p.m. in the district’s administration building.

Kennett Old Timers Baseball Association honors newest inductees into local hall of fame By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer Just a few days after the National Baseball Hall of Fame announced that Tim Raines, Jeff Bagwell, and Ivan Rodriguez will be immortalized in Cooperstown this summer, the Kennett Old Timers Baseball Association welcomed the newest class of inductees into its hall of fame with a Jan. 21 banquet and induction ceremony at the Red Clay Room in Kennett Square. Keith Craig, the master of ceremonies for the event, said that this year’s inductees were joining a family by being named to the Kennett Old Timers Baseball Hall of Fame. That family is 281 members strong and growing with the inclusion of the 2017 inductees—Mike Burton, Patrick Doran, Larry Lark, Clint Rector, Tim Rector, Ken Simon, Tim Sipes, Kevin Sprague, and George Starr, who was honored with a Special Recognition Award for Community Coaching and Administration. This year’s banquet attracted

a large and enthusiastic crowd, and there was most definitely a family-feel to the evening, especially when presenter Doug Stirling led everyone in singing “Happy Birthday” to Bob Burton, the president of the Kennett Old Timers Baseball Association who had celebrated his 80th birthday a day earlier. Stirling inducted the new members, outlining each player’s accomplishments on the baseball field. Starr is the recipient of a Special Recognition Award. He is well known in the local community after serving as a math teacher in Kennett High School from 1955 to 1986. Growing up, he was a pitcher and also played the infield and the outfield at Branch Township High School. In 1946, he played against Curt Simmons in the American Legion State Championship game. Simmons would go on to have an outstanding career in the major leagues as a starting pitcher. Later, while he was a teacher at Kennett, Starr coached the baseball team

Mike Burton was an accomplished player who enjoyed success on local baseball diamonds and in college. Burton grew up in Unionville and played baseball in Little League, the Babe Ruth League, American Legion, and at Unionville High School, where he also played football and basketball. He went to Temple University, transitioning to catcher after spending most of his time up to

that point playing in the infield. Burton earned numerous accolades on the baseball diamond. He was the Baseball MVP of the Southern Chester County League in 1985. In college, he set the singleseason hitting streak record and Atlantic 10 Conference record with a 25-game hitting streak in 1989. He led Temple in batting in 1989 and 1990. He hit .409 in 1989, which was a top-ten single season batting average all time at Temple. He finished with a batting average of .351 in college, and was the

team’s captain during his senior season. Baseball is in Burton’s blood. He is the son of Kennett Old Timers Baseball Association president Bob Burton, and the grandson of Bat Burton, who was one of the organization’s founders when it was created in 1974. Mike Burton said that he had many good memories playing baseball, especially when he was growing up. “I was fortunate to be raised by two wonderful parents,” he said. “My dad is still my hero and my role model.” Patrick Doran was a standout player at Unionville High School and at West Chester University. At Unionville, he played for four seasons—three at the JV level as an infielder and one at the varsity level as an infielder and outfielder. Pitching for the BYC Brandywine Senior Babe Ruth League, he once tossed a no-hitter. He was a pitcher at West Chester University from 1978 to 1981. Doran went on to play in the West Chester Adult League. He was the regularseason MVP in the league in

1985, when he struck out the most batters and posted the lowest ERA. He moved on to a Wilmington semi-pro team in 1986 and 1987. His last pitching appearance came with the Red Men of the Kennett Senior League in 1996. “It’s a great honor to be inducted,” Doran said. “I really enjoyed being a part of the teams that I played on.” Larry Lark played left field and was a pitcher in the Downingtown Little League, Downingtown American Legion baseball team, and at Downingtown High School. He went on to play in the Coatesville Twilight League for more than 25 years, as well as the Kennett League, the Delco League, and the Tristate League. He received the No Hitter Award, the Home Run Derby Award, and was honored with several MVP Awards in the Coatesville Twilight League. Lark thanked his father for not letting him want to quit baseball when he wanted to after not earning a spot on the Continued on Page 8A

Wheeler regales with great baseball tales By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer During the 37 years that Chris Wheeler spent as a part of the Philadelphia Phillies broadcasting team, he never missed a road trip as part of the Phillies’ official traveling party. When there was a job to do, he showed up for work. So it’s no surprise that Wheeler persevered through a bout of the flu to deliver an engaging and entertaining talk to the crowd of enthusiastic baseball fans at the 37th Kennett Old Timers Baseball Association Banquet. Wheeler served as a guest speaker at the banquet a year earlier, and he began his speech by saying that he enjoyed talking baseball with the group so much

last year that he couldn’t let an illness stop him from coming back this year. “What a great group you have here,” Wheeler said. “So many people out here who love the game. There’s nothing that I wanted more than to come back here tonight.” Wheeler grew up in nearby Newtown Square, Pa. rooting for the Phillies. He loved baseball when he was a kid, and he fondly recalls watching Willie Mays play. His boyhood idol was Phillies’ legendary outfielder Richie Ashburn. Wheeler graduated from Marple-Newtown High School in 1963 and went on to earn a degree in journalism and broadcasting from Penn State University in 1967. He worked in

radio in Philadelphia, Chicago, and New York early in his career before joining the Phillies’ community relations department in 1971. He was added to the radio and television broadcasting team in 1977, working alongside two iconic figures—Ashburn and golden-voiced Hall of Fame broadcaster Harry Kalas. Wheeler continued to serve as a play-by-play man and color analyst with the Phillies through 2013, witnessing the two best periods in the Phillies’ long history. The team won World Series titles in 1980 and 2008, and some of the broadcaster’s best memories are centered on those two chapters in Phillies’ history.

Salary increase... Continued from Page 1A

but I got a lot of emails from people in our district who had no idea that this was on the agenda this evening. None of those people had the opportunity to speak with you about this. Why are we voting on something that wasn’t given adequate time for our community to give opinions on? … To give one person a 20 percent raise while our teachers are begging every time a contract period comes up -- I don’t understand. I think our community is going to be very upset that they were not aware of this.” Late in the meeting, the board came to a vote on Sanville’s new contract and voted unanimously to approve it. After the vote, Sanville said, “This is a great place. I’m humbled to serve here. I’m thrilled to do everything I can for the children of Unionville-Chadds Ford. I’m thrilled to be here for another five years.” School Board president Victor Dupuis explained the background of the salary hike, saying, “This process began in October. We got notification that Dr. Sanville was being aggressively pursued by a neighboring district. We hadn’t given thought to

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25, 2017

renewing his contract early, but we were compelled to do so, or risk losing our superintendent. As a board, one of our primary responsibilities is to be absolutely convinced we have the best CEO for this district. The negotiating team looked at the comparables for this area – Chester County, Bucks County and Delaware County. What we discovered is that our superintendent’s contract put him basically in the bottom third of the county in salary compensation. In total compensation, he was near the bottom. The deferred compensation aspect of a lot of these contracts is substantial. “Specifically looking at John’s contract,” Dupuis continued, “we felt that as one of the top-performing districts in the state and the country, we wanted to recognize that in our CEO. There was no fiscally responsible way to make him the top-paid superintendent in Chester County, let alone in the Philadelphia suburbs. But we felt it was important to make a substantial move in that direction. “The salary that we are paying Dr. Sanville ranks as the second-highest current salary of any of the superintendents in the county, excluding those districts where they have multiple high schools and

Avon Grove School District

multiple middle schools,” Dupuis added. “When you add in all the deferred compensation that a lot of these contracts generate, this contract drops him down to about number 5 in that peer group of 10 superintendents. “There was some discussion that this seems to have been an instantaneous decision on the part of the board, and I want to point out that this process started back in October,” Dupuis said. “It’s a personnel issue. We can’t bring it out into the public until we are at a point where we think it’s appropriate. Honestly, we were still struggling with some language details in the contract, and it took our team of attorneys longer to draft the final version.” Board member Jeff Hellrung commented later that the salary increase was closer to 15.4 percent. “I don’t say that because it’s a small amount, but I wanted to explain why I support it,” he said. At the end of the meeting, which stretched nearly four hours, resident Peter Shea of Birmingham Township told the board that he came to the meeting “to see what extraordinary event happened that required a superintendent’s contract to be redone. Dr. Sanville agreed to a contract

a couple of years ago to work for 200-plus thousand dollars for four or five years. He then approached the board and said, ‘If you don’t come up with more money, I’m going to have to leave.’ I understand all the negotiations that took place, and you came up with a good solution. But I think the question is, what is going to happen next? It seems the contract is set up so that in a year or two years, we’ll be faced with a situation where Dr. Sanville may be recruited by a larger school district, a city district or whatever. At what point do you take fiduciary responsibility and say that, unfortunately, Dr. Sanville has exceeded what we’re willing to pay him? We all pay him. We’re the ones who are paying taxes for him. I don’t know where you’re going to find the other $40,000 you’re going to pay him this time. I’m concerned about the next time.” During the meeting, the board also unanimously approved John Nolen as the new assistant superintendent in the district, replacing departing assistant superintendent Ken Batchelor. Nolen’s five-year contract pays $185,000 per year. At the beginning of the meeting, the board heard from four people seeking to

Dinniman acted like a minority Commissioner was supposed to act. The Democrats in Chester County are very close to the GOP in voter registration, and Democrats often, like in 2016, win state and federal elections. But they have never won a county row office.

fill the board vacancy left by Dr. Michael Rock, who resigned recently over what he claimed was district’s lack of action on incidents of racial intimidation in the district. Each candidate gave an opening statement and answered questions from the board. On Feb. 13, the board will vote to appoint a new member. The candidates are: Scott Bosch, who for the past eight years has been a social studies teacher at Upper Darby High School; Robert Smith, who has worked at law firms in New York and locally, performing corporate finance transactions; Lisa Tassone, an optometrist who has served on the district’s Wellness Committee, works as a tutor and school volunteer and was the president of the Patton Middle School PTO; and Tom Day, a father of three in the district who is a finance executive, Cub Scout leader, and URA basketball coach. The board also addressed issues surrounding Rock’s departure, including what he cited as incidents of ethnic intimidation among students. During public comment, former school board member Kathy Do told the board, “Do not let anger cloud your judgment – the problems Dr. Rock identified are real. There is a new culture in this nation, and this school district, that is giving license to some people to diminish the value of others. It is happening just below the surface. I agree with Dr. Rock that it is time for this administration and the board to take proactive initiatives.” Leah Tedesco, a senior at Unionville High School, told the board that in her sophomore year, a male student bullied her on social media. “I went to the administration, but they never got back to me,” she said. “I reported him three times in one year. I was told that it was within his First Amendment rights to be

saying these things. I don’t think harassment is covered by freedom of speech. At the beginning of my senior year, nothing was resolved. We ended up working things out ourselves. But it’s bothered me that the administration never did anything. I don’t know why, in my case, nothing was ever done.” Sanville requested the student’s contact information “so we can follow up in a non-public setting,” he said. Further addressing the reasons for Rock’s departure, board member Robert Sage said, “I’m sorry that Dr. Rock didn’t work out his issues. I disagree with his assessment of the situation and the solution he proposed. These are opinions, not facts. Our district has a strong commitment to providing a welcoming climate to all students.” Board member Gregg Lindner said that Rock “was passionate about what he did on the board. I’m very sorry that he’s off the board. It’s important that people have an outlet to talk about the issues. I want the community to know that if somebody has a concern as far as the tone of things or there’s some type of discrimination, I would ask that they speak to Dr. Sanville or the administration. But they can also call me as a school board member and talk about it. I don’t want people to think they can’t talk to their school board members.” Dupuis said, “Tolerance and respect for diversity are a strength of this district. But we’re also far from perfect. I think it’s appropriate that we’re hearing different perspectives on this issue.” For a video of the meeting, and documents related to the board’s actions, visit www. ucfsd.org.

Memo to Kennett Library: No sweat. Get Swett.

Trump deserves fair media coverage

About a year ago, nearly to the day, Thomas C. Swett, a resident of East Marlborough Township, was elected as the president of the board of directors for the then-named Kennett Public Library. To many who had followed the controversial exploits of the board in recent years, the role that Swett was taking on seemed thankless, at best, one nearly guaranteed to land him knee deep in the continuing big muddy of in-fighting, finger-pointing and accusations that not only defined the board, but also threatened to take a treasured Chester County heirloom down with it. When the dust cleared – after a raft of former directors tossed in their resignations – Swett was left to pick up the Humpty Dumpty mess and, with the help of vice president Jeff Yetter, secretary-treasurer Bill McLachlan and a new board by his side, he slowly put all of the pieces back together again. Under Swett’s guidance, the board set about bringing credibility back to an institution that many throughout the eight municipalities the library serves believed had been destroyed. Slowly, they re-opened the books of the library’s history, its present and its future and, meeting by meeting, page by page, restored credibility. In March, Swett and the board delicately balanced the need to remember the history of the library while at the same time, moving it into the new century. They hired consultant Carl Francis to help the board resolve the controversy over an earlier name change for the library. After several public presentations, a new name was chosen: the Kennett Library at the Bayard Taylor Commons. In April, the library received a substantial Vision Partnership grant from Chester County to enable the community to collaborate on a new vision for a new library. In May, the library’s New Building Committee began conversations with Kennett Borough Council to discuss an idea that would establish a new, modern library in the borough, that wold potentially house not just a 30,000 squarefoot library but the borough’s offices, municipal courts and police station. A new graphic identity and signage for the library is seen everywhere. There is a revamped website. There is an annual report for the first time in the library’s 120 years. Substantial planning grants are being applied for. The opinions of the thousands of individuals, families and institutions, once neglected, are now being woven into the framework of long-term plans. Now, Swett and the library board face their largest challenge to date: A capital campaign to raise an estimated $7 million toward the construction of a new library. We can’t think of a better person to serve as chairman of this campaign than Thomas C. Swett. When it comes to being able to connect community with funding and vision, a quick look at Swett’s credentials places him at the top of the fundraising pedestal. Now in his second stint on the library board, Swett has also served on the boards of numerous non-profit organizations, including Historic Kennett Square, the Po-Mar-Lin Fire Company, and the Chester County Hospital System, and has considerable experience leading fundraising campaigns. If there is any local institution who knows the benefits of having the right person in the job of fundraising chairman, it is the Kennett Area YMCA. The late Thomas Musser, one of the most admired leaders in the recent history of Southern Chester County, spearheaded two campaigns for the YMCA – the first in 1996-97, that raised $5.2 million; and the second in 2011-12, that raised $3 million for the expansion of the facility. Both campaigns were aggressive in their pursuit of funding, but at their core were led by a tenacity of kindness that defined who Tom Musser was. Thomas C. Swett is cut from the very same cloth that Musser was, and there is no better kind of fabric on which to build dreams. We urge the board of the Kennett Library, as well as members of the community, to convince Swett to become chairman of the library’s upcoming capital campaign.

Letter to the Editor: This letter is in response to Lisa Jaremka’s letter in the Dec. 28 edition of the Chester County Press. The Chester County Press covered candidate Donald Trump’s every misstep. I have no doubt they will continue to go after Trump in a subtle way...like saying Trump was elected in part because of “fake news.” As if Hillary Clinton had nothing to do with her loss. Where do you get the audacity to tell the Chester County Press which words to use when describing the

President’s actions? And why start now? Few in the media covered President Obama’s lies, failures, anti-American actions and scandals. As we speak, Obama is releasing over 1000 felons back into society. And the same media gave Hillary Clinton a pass with evidence of corruption, breaches of national security and felonies. Did you call for fair reporting then? Many Americans voted for Trump so that a corrupt felon would not win. Trump asks only for fair and objective coverage by the press. He knows he

won’t get the favoritism Obama and Clinton got. But some media members say they want to “bring Trump down.” The media favored Hillary Clinton in every poll to win by a landslide, trying to sway voter turnout. The debates were set-ups for her. The debate moderators were biased and the debate questions were given to Hillary Clinton ahead of time. Should this be investigated? Thankfully, the popular vote does not count in our Republic. If so, our hard working farmers, cattle-

men, coal miners, laborers, and small business owner taxpayers in rural/middle America would have no say in picking our President. Those extra popular votes for Hillary Clinton came from California, where they make it easy for illegal aliens to vote and New York City, which is rampantly corrupt. Trump won thanks to God, pro-America citizens and his own hard work. I hope he can clean up Obama’s messes. B. Keene Cochranville

Guest Column

DHS-granted extension won’t resolve REAL ID mess, without further action from Harrisburg By Ed Neilson State Representative, 174th Legislative District As Washington, D.C. is attempting to bridge a deep partisan divide, Pennsylvania is starting this year on a different note as both sides of the aisle are united in fixing a problem that has been creeping up on us for years. In a letter to the Department of Homeland Security, Gov. Tom Wolf joined legislative leaders from both parties in the Senate and the House to

make a commitment to put the state on the right track to comply with the federal REAL ID Act of 2005. The letter also requested an extension to give the state time to comply. Thankfully, DHS relented and granted Pennsylvania an extension through June, but what was, and in many ways still is, at risk should not be understated. If the feds had not granted the commonwealth an extension, by the end of the month Pennsylvania driver’s licenses and ID cards would not have been accepted at up to 257 fed-

eral buildings, nuclear power plants and military bases throughout the state, not to mention at countless of other similar sites throughout the country. By January 2018, our state identification would no longer be accepted for domestic air travel. Sounds crazy? It is. But, unless further action is taken, every Pennsylvanian will need a passport to fly commercially, even from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh. The short extension granted to us from DHS is great news, as it gives the General Assembly time to address this impending

nightmare. Sen. Kim Ward and I have already introduced identical legislation, H.B. 150 and S.B. 133, which would resolve the underlying noncompliance issue and allow PennDOT to work towards meeting the enhanced security standards. I urge my colleagues in the House and the Senate not to celebrate about this extension for too long. Work still needs to be done to ensure that Pennsylvania’s IDs will continue to be accepted and remain secure from fraud.

Sheriff warns of phone scams Sheriff Carolyn “Bunny” Welsh has issued a warning to Chester County residents regarding a phone scam that occurred several years ago and is recurring now. Welsh stated “there is an organized effort on the part of individuals attempting to scam residents of Chester County. We need to inform our citizens that these calls are bogus and do not originate here in the Chester County Sheriff’s Office.” In various parts of Chester County, residents are being targeted by bogus phone calls and threatened with arrest by deputy sheriffs on a bench warrant for failing to report for jury service in Chester County Court.

In some reported cases, the bogus caller identifies themself using the name of an actual Chester County deputy sheriff, and the caller ID is being spoofed to make it appear as if the call is actually being made from a Sheriff’s Office number. In other cases, the bogus caller is identifying themselves as a member of a “Warrant Department” and uses ranks and titles that seem to be legitimate. In the calls, threats are made that a bench warrant will be served unless the person answering the phone goes to a convenience store or pharmacy and purchases a Green Dot MoneyPak card in amounts ranging from $300 to

$1,500, and then calls the caller back with the MoneyPak card numbers. Sometimes the caller tries to coerce those called into providing confidential personal or financial data, potentially leading to identity theft and fraud. “All residents should be warned to never share sensitive information with anyone you don’t know,” said Welsh. “Unfortunately there are criminals who use many types of scams and frauds to take advantage of individuals and families. We need to provide all information possible to protect our citizens.” The Chester County Court does not require anyone to provide sensitive

information in a telephone call, nor to purchase any kind of monetary device to avoid arrest. Most contact between the court and a prospective juror will occur through the U.S. Mail, and any phone contact by real court officials will not include requests for Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, or any other sensitive information. Persons receiving such a telephone call should not provide any requested information, and instead should hang up and contact their local police department. They can also notify the Jury Services Office 610-344-6174 or the Chester County Sheriff’s Office at 610-344-6850.

County to participate in ‘Day of Remembrance’ to honor victims of addiction Chester County’s Department of Drug and Alcohol Services has announced the county’s participation in a “National Day of Remembrance” on Jan. 29, a day honoring and remembering county residents who have fallen victim to the disease of addiction. Activities taking place in Chester County throughout the weekend in honor of “National Day of Remembrance” include a moment of silence on Jan. 27 at 9:30 a.m., and a memorial service on Jan. 29 hosted by Pennsylvania Recovery Organization-

Achieving Community Together (PRO-ACT) at Cornerstone Christian Fellowship Church (426 W. Gay St., West Chester) from 7 to 8:30 p.m. This service will include speakers, songs and a celebration of life and remembrance through the reading of names of those in Chester County lost to the disease. “In 2015, 63 people died from drug overdoses in Chester County, leaving behind devastated family and friends,” said Chester County Commissioners’ Chair Michelle Kichline. “With the sadness of these

losses comes the reminder that addiction is a disease that does not discriminate against age, race, gender or socioeconomic status. “It’s estimated that nearly 35,000 people in Chester County are suffering from some sort of substance use disorder,” Kichline added. “Over time, substance use may lead to dependence, which means the person begins using the substance to function ‘normally’ in order to prevent them from going into withdrawal from that substance,” said Vince Brown, executive director of the Chester County Department

of Drug and Alcohol Services. “Withdrawal is the group of symptoms that can occur when a person has decreased use or is no longer using alcohol or any other drug after dependence has occurred. Alcohol or any other drug withdrawal can include emotional, physical, behavioral, or physiological symptoms, and, as we know all too well, can be life-threatening.” For more information, visit the Chester County Department of Drug and Alcohol Services website ( w w w. c h e s c o . o rg / 2 1 6 / Drug-Alcohol-Services).

2002 to 2008, and the 55-andover squad from 2010 through 2016. He also played in the Men’s Senior Baseball World Series squads from 2004 to 2013. He was selected as an all-star six times, and was a Most Valuable Player Award winner once. He played on three teams that won division championships in the Roy Hobbs Baseball Tournament. For a period of twelve years, the Rector brothers pitched on the same team. They would sometimes start both games of a doubleheader, though on other occasions Tim would pitch in relief of his older brother. They appeared in more than 200 games together, and the team never had a losing season. During their years pitching together on The Cutters, they won 141 games and lost only 67 over a six-year period. Like Clint, Tim was selected to an all star team six times, and he also won a team Most Valuable Player Award. For the second half of his career, Tim became

varsity squad in high school. Had he quit baseball, he would have ended up missing out on a lot of experiences that came later on. “Baseball has been a big part of my life,” he said. Brothers Clint and Tim Rector were also among this year’s inductees, and they accepted the honor together. Clint played on the Avon Grove High School baseball team from 1965 to 1968, and the last two years were spent on the varsity squad. He pitched and played the outfield whenever he wasn’t on the mound. He went on to play on the Fast Pitch and Modified Softball Leagues from 1969 until 1978, and then played on various adult league teams. He was on a 48-andover team in the Tri-State Men’s Senior Baseball League from

The Rector brothers join their father, Cecil Rector, as members of the Kennett Old Timers Baseball Hall of Fame. “You have to be humble and grateful to be here,” Clint said. “We are joining [our father] in the Kennett Baseball Hall of Fame and we are thankful for that.” Ken Simon played on a Unionville baseball team that won the league championship in both 1976 and 1977. The 1977 team won three statequalifying games. Simon also was a standout on the football and basketball teams for Unionville. He went on to play freshman and varsity baseball at California State College, and he also participated in the West

Chester University Summer Program from 1979 to 1981. Simon explained that at one point he thought his playing days were over. “When I was 30 years old, I thought baseball was in the rear view mirror, but then the call came in from Steve Potter,” Simon explained. Potter is the vice president of the Kennett Old Timers Baseball Association and has been very active in organizing men’s senior baseball teams. After getting the call from Potter, Simon went on to play baseball in the West Chester Adult League and the MSBL teams from 1990 through 2015. He credited Potter with helping to give people like him a chance to play in men’s leagues. He concluded his remarks by thanking the Kennett Old Timers Baseball Association. “It’s an honor to be recognized along with the men that I’ve played with through the years,” Simon explained. Tim Sipes, a third baseman and shortstop, played on KAU Little League and Kennett Babe Ruth League teams before playing for four years on the Unionville High School baseball team. Sipes was the Southern Chester County League MVP during his junior year at Unionville. During his four years on the Kennett American Legion team, he batted over .400. In college, playing at the University of Delaware, Sipes was a fouryear starter who hit over .350 during that span. He was a Second Team All-Conference player during his sophomore

He went on to play in the West Chester Adult League, where he won the 1995 batting crown by hitting .455. “To me, it’s all about memories,” Sipes said. “I look around the room today and I see a lot of familiar faces. I’m excited to be inducted with this class.” Kevin Sprague has enjoyed numerous unique experiences on the baseball diamond, starting when he played in the Roxborough 21st Ward Baseball League. He learned how to hit a fastball playing against Mark Gubicza, who went on to be an All-Star major league pitcher with the Kansas City Royals from 1984 to 1996. Sprague hit against Gubicza throughout his Little League career. Sprague then played for the Roxborough High School Indians. He would later serve as the vice president of the Roxborough Giants from 1994 to 1996, and was a 21st Ward Junior Baseball League advisory board member during 1995 and 1996. Sprague recalled how he and his wife moved their family to Kennett Square in 1996. Before moving, they carefully researched the schools, the churches, and other amenities in the area before deciding that this was where they wanted to raise their children. Then it occurred to Sprague that he didn’t research the baseball in the area. “Baseball! We forgot to research baseball!” Sprague exclaimed. After he moved

to Kennett Square in 1996, Sprague asked someone about baseball and was told to go to Burton’s Barber Shop. “You get a haircut and you can learn about everything you want to know about baseball in Kennett Square,” Sprague explained. He soon met Potter and Dave Hissey, and they helped get him involved with local baseball. Sprague played with the Cecil Pirates in the Kennett Men’s Senior Baseball League, and became the assistant coach of the Kennett Junior American Legion team. In 2001, that squad defeated the Roxborough Bandits team from Sprauge’s home town for the Main Line League Championship. Sprague became the head coach of the Kennett Junior American Legion team in 2002 and 2003. Sprague continued to play baseball—he was the third baseman for the Kennett Blue Rocks and The Sox in the Delco MSBL, Coatesville Adult League, and Tri-State MSBL, on teams that won three consecutive league championships from 2013 to 2015, and two MSBL National Championships that were won in Port St. Lucie (2009) and Clearwater (2014). Sprague thanked the Kennett Old Timers Baseball Association and provided a perfect summation for this evening and this organization when he said, “I can confirm that baseball in the Kennett community is second to none.” To contact Staff Writer Steven Hoffman, email editor@ chestercounty.com.

Wheeler will soon be heading to Clearwater, Florida, the Phillies’ Spring Training home, for his 46th season with the organization. He spoke glowingly of his time working with the hometown team that he grew up rooting for, saying that it never felt like a job and no one has been as lucky as he has to work for a team that he loved. The room was filled with Phillies fans, and they had many questions pertaining to the team. The Phillies improved by eight games last year, but Wheeler said that it’s probably too early to expect the team to make a playoff run this season. “I think we have a chance to be interesting because we have a lot of kids who can come up and play,” Wheeler said, referring to a group of promising prospects who will bolster the team in the next few years. Wheeler spoke fondly of Oct. 29, 2008, the night that the Phillies defeated the Tampa Rays, 4-3, to win the second World Series in team history. Wheeler was calling the World Series with Kalas, who had waited his entire career to declare that the Phillies had won the World Series. In 1980, local broadcasters were not allowed to call the World Series games, so this was Kalas’ first chance to call a World Series championship. It would be the pinnacle of a Hall of Fame broadcaster’s career. Wheeler explained that they had cameras pointed at the broadcasters in the booth at the start of the ninth inning. Wheeler was determined not to make any noise that would detract from Kalas’ long-awaited call of a World Series victory. When Kalas made the call on the final out, Wheeler’s exuberant—but silent—celebration was captured by a cameraman positioned in the booth. It became one of the indelible images of the Phillies’ 2008 post-season, but Wheeler poked fun at himself for the celebration, calling it “a fullbody spasm.” He said that he was thankful that Kalas was able to make the call that his beloved Phillies had won the World Series. Kalas would pass away less than six months later. Wheeler also talked about the terrific 2016 World Series that

Wheeler said that he was rooting for the Indians because of their manager, Terry Francona. Francona is a former manager of the Phillies, and he also served as a guest speaker at the Kennett Old Timers Baseball Banquet during his time with the club. “He’s really the best guy in the world,” Wheeler said. One person at the banquet asked Wheeler if he thought the Phillies would ever be able to sign or trade for Mike Trout, a Millville, New Jersey native who grew up rooting for the Phillies and happens to be the best player in the game. “It’ll be interesting to see what happens when he does become a free agent,” Wheeler said. “It would be too good to be true. He’s such a good player and a good person.” Wheeler lauded the efforts of Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley, and Ryan Howard, the trio that formed the foundation of the team that captured the 2008 World Series for the Phillies. “Those three guys were just wonderful,” Wheeler said. “It’s pretty neat to think of those three guys and all that they did for us. And they are all great, great people.” A person in attendance asked if Wheeler thought any of the three

would be elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame after they retire. “I’d love to see that happen for Jimmy,” Wheeler said, explaining that Rollins’ career statistics are similar to recent Hall of Fame inductee Barry Larkin. He added that Utley was probably on his way to a Hall of Fame career until leg injuries cost him valuable playing time and cut down on his productivity. Howard’s performance also declined after a serious achilles injury in 2011, and he probably won’t reach the numbers necessary to earn a spot in the Hall of Fame. Wheeler’s return visit to Kennett Square was well-received by attendees of the Kennett Old Timers Baseball Association banquet. One fan in attendance thanked Wheeler for sharing his encyclopedic knowledge of baseball with fans and for teaching him so much about the game through his work on Phillies’ broadcasts through the years. Keith Craig, the master of ceremonies for the banquet, lauded Wheeler for “bringing a real intimacy to the game.” Wheeler chronicled his life in baseball in a 2009 book, “A View from the Booth: Four Decades with the Phillies.” To contact Staff Writer Steven Hoffman, email editor@ chestercounty.com.

GEORGIANNA HANNUM STAPLETON Georgianna Hannum Stapleton passed away on Jan. 17. Born in Chestnut Hill, Pa., to George H. Duross and Helen Curtiss, Georgianna (Georgie) Duross attended The Raven Hill School, The Springside School, and The University of Pennsylvania (B.A.). Georgie was married to The Honorable Walter K. Stapleton, a judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. They were married for 25 years and lived at Foalsfield, their farm in Unionville. Previously, she was married to John B. (Jock) Hannum, Jr., who was a decorated Marine Corps officer in the Vietnam War. Georgie and Jock raised four children, Christianna P. Hannum, John B. Hannum III, Curtiss P.S. Hannum, and George D. Hannum. Georgie was first employed with the Historical American Buildings Survey in Washington, D.C. as an architectural historian. In 1976, she founded Country Properties, a real estate firm committed to open space preservation. Her passion for open space was compelling, and she was an early, and persuasive, champion of placing conservation easements on landowners’ properties. Georgie was chosen, by a leading conservation group, to oversee the disbursement of the King Ranch property, which resulted in the permanent preservation of over 5,000 acres in southern Chester County. Georgie loved the land, but above all she loved her children, her grandchildren and her friends. Famous for her parties, dinners, and informal gatherings around the kitchen table, Georgie brought people together, from family members to Supreme Court Justices to local artisans. Foalsfield has always been filled with children swimming and fishing in the pond, Gator rides through the fields, the laughter and teasing of friends and family, and the joy of being in Georgie’s company. Georgie was also brave; diagnosed with cancer in 2007, her spirit never diminished. She continued to work, travel, be an avid reader, and draw people together. Georgie served as a board member of the Chester County Hospital, The Primitive Hall Foundation, The Chester County Planning Commission, Planned Parenthood of Chester County, The Women’s Committee of the Philadelphia Orchestra and The United Way of Chester County. She was also a Big Sister through Big Brothers Big Sisters of America and a Fresh Air Fund Host Family. She is survived by her husband; her four children and their father; her eight grandchildren; her sister; and her niece and nephews. A memorial service will be held on Feb. 25 at 2 p.m. at Church of the Loving Shepherd in West Chester. A reception will follow at The Wilmington Club.

Avon Grove suffers tough OT loss, 55-49 By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer Moments after his team ended that evening’s roller coaster ride, one that took them within minutes of a victory and then to a rapid descent that ended in defeat, Avon Grove head coach Roy Blumenthal took solace in an empty stairway at Avon Grove High School late Monday night, and stared at the cement walls. The unapologetic narrative of the 55-49 overtime loss to visiting Neshaminy was written on the rumbled sweat of his blue shirt, all over his reddened face and in the dark hollow look of someone who wants a do-over but can’t have it. He had just seen his scrappy club, down by three points at halftime, go on a furious third-quarter run that put them ahead by ten points, only to see it slip away possession by possession in the fourth quarter, when a last-second three-pointer by

Neshaminy’s Mark Gentry put the game into overtime. Most cutting, he had just witnessed his team lose in OT not by sharp-shooting gunnery, but by methodical, boring, one-by-one free throws. “In the third quarter, you can’t lose the game,” Blumenthal said. “In the fourth quarter, you can. The kids don’t know how to win yet. That’s just the bottom line. I haven’t been able to make them believe the things that happened are things that are just natural instincts in basketball.” If there was any advice that Blumenthal may have told his team before the game, it was to contain Neshaminy’s Chris Arcidiacano, the younger brother of Ryan Arcidiacano, who was the point guard on Villanova’s 2016 NCAA Championship team. While Arcidiacano reeled off eight points in the first quarter – on his his way to a game-high 28 points in the game – Avon Grove’s

defense shut down the remainder of the Redskin team, holding them to just a basket. After Arcidiacano’s lastsecond three-pointer tied the game at 10-all at the end of the first, he continued to peck away at Avon Grove slowly, with six free throws in the second that helped give his team a slim 22-19 lead at halftime. Were pure logic applied to the game of basketball, it would have predicted that Arcidiacano would come out of the locker room duplicating his first-half efforts, en route to an easy win. Apparently, no one told Blumenthal’s squad about pure logic at halftime. They outscored Neshaminy 16-3 in the third quarter, mostly on the shooting of Brandon McCullough’s 11-point quarter, which included a clutch three-pointer with 3:08 left in the quarter. More importantly, the team held Arcidiacano to one free throw.

Avon Grove’s Brandon McCullough was part of a swarming defense that held Neshaminy to just three points in the third quarter.

Again, pure logic would forecast that Avon Grove would ride the momentum it had going into the fourth quarter to an easy win, but no one on Neshaminy was listening. Three early free throws by Arcidiacano trimmed Avon Grove’s lead to 35-28. After a give-andgo from Alden Russo to Destin Murphy to Russo pushed Avon Grove’s lead to 39-28, a layup off of a steal by Zach Tredway came with 4:58 remaining. Two free throws by Gentry cut the Red Devils’ led to six points with 4:06 left, and ten seconds later, Arcidiacano made one of two free throws to trim the lead to five points. While a huge dagger came in the form of a threepointer by Neshaminy’s Anthony Papeo that brought the Redskins to within two points with 2:08 remaining, it was Avon Grove’s poor decisions on both sides of

the court that did the most damage. Careless offensive turnovers were met on defense by an inability to put pressure on Neshaminy shooters. In an effort to calm his team down, Blumenthal called a timeout with 1:14 left in the game with his team ahead, 42-41. With 15 seconds left, Avon Grove’s Scooter Whiteside calmly hit two free throws to give the Red Devils a three-point lead. One Neshaminy’s next possession, Gentry was left all alone in the corner, where his three-pointer sent the game into overtime, where a second three-pointer by Papeo and six free throws by Arcidiacano sealed the victory. “We missed foul shots,” Blumenthal said. “We threw the ball away. I told them, ‘Do not leave the shooter,’ and they leave the shooter all by himself and he hit a

three. “We need to be in those situations more,” Blumenthal added. “Not just here. We need to be in those situations when we’re on the playground. We need to be in those situations when we’re playing pick-up. Those are the things we’re learning – to be able to do the small things it takes to win. We don’t know how to finish games, and that takes time.” Avon Grove was led by McCullough’s 18 points, followed by Russo with 11 points, and Murphy and Karl Forst, who scored nine points each. With the loss, the Red Devils fell to 8-7 overall, and look to get back on the winning track on Jan. 26, when they tip off against Bishop Shanahan at Avon Grove. To contact Staff Writer Richard L.

Oxford Arts Alliance opens season with ‘Through Your Looking Glass’ By John Chambless Staff Writer

‘Transcendent’ by John Sauers.

about it, with velvety surfaces and an unusual through-thewindow viewpoint. John Sauers gets at issues of life and death in the sketchy charcoal and chalk “Transcendent.” And “Passage,” by Judy Petersen, is an arresting tangle of intermingled gray shapes with a central section that coalesces subtly as an alley between buildings. It’s a very effective painting that challenges and then rewards you with remarkable details. Randall Graham’s “Brandywine River Museum” is a tour de force rendering of raindrops on glass, with the distinctive red brick museum seen, slightly out of focus, beyond. Graham gets extra credit for going so large with the work, making each drop and rivulet that much more demanding to paint. Joe Milligan’s watercolor, “Kitty Hawk,” catches an intriguing architectural detail of crazily overlapping shutters on an old house; and Milligan’s “Star Barn” is a gray-black arched window, weathered siding and creeping vine that, at first glance, looks like a photograph.

‘Passage’ by Judy Petersen.

‘Farm Table’ by Tracey Rothenberger.

‘Star Barn’ by Joe Milligan.

The theme of the new exhibit at the Oxford Arts Alliance, “Through Your Looking Glass,” has brought in plenty of paintings of windows, but the variety of styles and subject matter is well balanced. Walter Leis has a pastel,

“East Quoddy Light Through the Fresnel Lens,” that shows a red-roofed building viewed in diagonal slices, giving the image vitality and freshness. It seems to reassemble itself as you look from one edge to the other. Tracey Rothenberger is the spotlighted artist in the show, and “Farm Table” has a distinctly Carolyn Wyeth air

‘Brandywine River Museum’ by Randall Graham.

Carole Huber deserves applause for her innovative use of strips of cloth in “Portals to Distant Universes,” a large, swirling collage that succeeds on several levels. Among the photos, Anita Bower’s series of the second floors of buildings in downtown Oxford is a nice grouping, and will inspire you to look up the next time you’re walking downtown. There’s a subtle mood of melancholy in “Silver Garden Selfie” by Deborah Allen, in which visitors taking a photo

in the beautiful Longwood indoor garden look almost lost in shadow. Tracey Grumbach’s photo, “I’ll leave the Window Open for You,” suggests a story with two pairs of shoes sitting outside a second-floor window. Richard Greenwood’s “Patience is a Virtue” is an image of a cat on a windowsill that has immaculate composition and a satisfying color palette. Likewise, Helen Wagner’s view of a sleeping chamber at Ephrata Cloister masterfully manages a tricky

lighting situation, and conveys both comfort and stillness. Tracey Grumbach’s digital photo, “There Are Joys That Long To Be Ours,” a hazy view of three crows on a roof, has a memorable, dreamlike quality. “Through Your Looking Glass” continues at the Oxford Arts Alliance (38 S. Third St., Oxford) through Feb. 11. Visit www.oxfordart.org. To contact Staff Writer John Chambless, email jchambless@chestercounty. com.

Local News Library... Continued from Page 3A

library name gives Bayard Taylor a job to do, Francis said. He recommended that the library weave Taylor into all future marketing and promotion of the library, in much the way Pierre S. DuPont is integrated at Longwood Gardens. The idea received overwhelming support from the community. On April 14, the library received a $36,000 Vision Partnership from Chester County to explore the idea of a new community library (matched by Kennett Township), that would eventually move the existing library from its current 11,000-squarefoot facility to a modern, 45,000-square-foot, multiuse facility on the corner of Willow and East State Street in the borough. Over the last year, the library’s New Building Committee (NBC) has been meeting

with the Kennett Borough Council to discuss the council’s proposal to work with the library on the concept for the new building, that would dedicate 30,000 square feet to the library, and 15,000 square feet to new borough offices, the police station and municipal courts. The project will be designed by Lukmire Architects, a Virginia-based architectural firm who has designed more than 40 public library facility projects in Virginia and Maryland. This past fall, the firm held five “Vision” sessions with local residents to get community input for a new library. Fourteen years ago, the library bought a 5.3-acre site on Way’s Lane near Waywood Beverage in Kennett Township, for $500,000, with the vision to build a new facility there, but after years of public outcry, the board nixed the

idea. The chief reason for choosing the borough site came down to location. “[The library is] the economic driver for the borough,” Yetter said. “We get 120,000 people a year who come into this library, and in every course in community planning, it says that you keep your resources in the town. You don’t send them out of town. When we met with Dr. Tomasetti, the first thing he said was, ‘Do not disenfranchise my students by taking the library out of the borough. I have so many students who live in the borough, who walk to the library.’” Capital campaign With a site of the new building apparently finalized, the next hurdle for the board is to determine ways of raising the funds needed to build it. Although they said that all estimates

are still very preliminary, Swett and Yetter said that the library has close to $3 million in reserve that would be dedicated to an estimated $10 million price tag for a new facility. The remaining $7 million will come from a capital campaign, scheduled to begin this summer, which will involve two stages: A silent campaign, likely to kick off this summer, where outreach will be targeted to large donors; and a public campaign, which will likely begin during the first quarter of 2018. “We are retaining outside counsel who are thoroughly familiar with the area, as well as experienced with all that goes into preparing for a capital campaign,” Swett said. “We get the impression that, depending upon the feasibility study they will conduct, that the money is there. There is a likelihood that some of funding will come from

individuals who may have never given to a capital campaign before.” While the search begins to put the campaigns in place, which, if the money is raised in 2017, could potentially open the doors to a new building by 2019, there are already signs that the work of re-connecting Kennett Library to its constituents is paying off. An annual appeal campaign sent to residents in all eight municipalities has seen 369 private contributions to the library. “The contributions we received were so welcome, but it’s all part of our goal to educate people about what’s going on here,” Yetter said. “We want to give Kennett Library a new face in the community it serves, and now we’re on their radar.” “In my mind, success comes down to collaboration on every facet of the library,” Walters said. “It’s

collaborating with the community. It’s collaborating with the board. It’s collaborating with the staff. It’s not just one facet that’s making this happen. We all have to work together in order to make the library something that everyone is behind, in the same way.” “There are several key words happening here,” Swett said. “Collegiality. Confidence. Talents. Skills. That, put together, caused the Kennett Square Borough to approach us to build together. How do you measure success? To me, it was an outside entity coming to us and to consider building, together. “We have a goal, and if you have a goal, then pieces begin to fall into place.” Chester County Press Staff Writer Steven Hoffman contributed to this report.
