False alarm: Artesian’s plans still on at Broad Run well site

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer A visitor that thousands in southern Chester County believed had packed up and shipped out of the area made a controversial appearance in the community recently, one that set off a firestorm of phone calls and e-mails to elected and appointed officials, slowed traffic on Broad Run and Newark roads in Landenberg, and incited several drivers motoring past the site to voice their displeasure over what they were seeing from the road.

On assignment from Artesian Pennsylvania, Inc., a subsidiary of Delaware-based Artesian Water Resources, members of Austin-Bednash Construction of Newark, Del. spent Feb. 20 and Feb. 21 installing an underground, eight-inch pipeline, beginning 15 feet from the site of the well and ending at Broad Run Road, a distance of about 100 feet. Over the course of the installation, a representative from the construction company told the Chester County Press Photo by Richard L.

Bove Jewelers to reopen with new owner Bob Strehlau, who previously served as the store’s general manager, is planning a March 12 reopening

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer Bove Jewelers, one of Kennett Square’s most enduring stores with an 86-year history, will soon reopen after Bob Strehlau, a fifth-generation jeweler, purchased the business from George Reinas.

Strehlau served as the longtime general manager of Bove Jewelers until it closed in mid-February. He is planning a reopening of the store on Saturday, March 12, with a number of surprises for customers.

When the extended goingout-of-business sale concluded on Feb. 13, the merchandise was gone, the store was dark, and the future of Bove’s was

uncertain. Strehlau said that the overwhelming response from clients in the months leading up to the store closing convinced him that he needed to do what he could to continue the legacy.

“There was too much demand for the store,” Strehlau said. “We got such an overwhelming response from our clients, from West Grove to West Chester to Delaware.”

After discussing it extensively with his wife, Jacci, he decided that he wanted to buy the store, including its name. At 10 a.m. on Feb. 22, Strehlau officially became the owner of the business.

“It was a wonderful day,” Strehlau said. “This is definitely the only jewelry store that I would ever want to

Regional police...

create the opportunity to bring all police operations in the southern region of the county under one roof; give each officer and each department the gift to wrap their best skill sets into the fold of a larger whole; and allow for added police protection by virtue of strength in allied numbers.

By the middle of last year, however, the idea was hanging by its last thread. For London Grove Township, its guidepost was set by the tone of their constituents, who told elected officials that the State Police in nearby Avondale were covering their neighborhoods just fine. Kennett Township was in the incubation stage of redefining its police force with a new chief, an increased staff and a new way of how a small-town police department should function in the community it serves. For other townships, the pricetag seemed too steep an investment to become a part of.

As the plan slowly began to unravel, New Garden Township Township Police Chief Gerald Simpson, the key architect of the regional policing plan, watched the germination of what he envisioned as a flowering rose become a shrinking violet. In jest, he began to call the concept “Simpson’s Folly.”

“I was thinking about Seward’s Folly -- the puchase of Alaska -- which was looked upon as silly at the time, but now, we look upon that purchase as an asset for the United States,” Simpson said. “I thought

there was enough of a common thread between municipalities in the region that it made sense to [regionalize]. However, it wasn’t meant to be, but whatever their reasons may have been for withdrawing, in the long run, it righted the compass.”

Scanning the list of interested parties, one remained: West Grove Borough and its five-member police department, which currently provides its nearly 3,000 constituents with between 12 to 16 hours of coverage a day. Over the course of several meetings and discussions between the borough’s Public Safety Committee and Borough Council, it soon became evident that joining forces with New Garden Township was a good idea.

“We felt that we could, for the same financial commitment as having our own police force, provide more police protection for the borough residents,”

said West Grove Borough Manager Sharon Nesbitt.

“We would have a 24-hour police force, with the same officers our residents have gotten to know, no matter what time of day. The result will be a professional regional police department that will benefit both New Garden Township residents and the Borough of West Grove residents.”

“For us, the decision [to be a part of this negotiation] is clearly service oriented,” said West Grove Police Department Chief Michael King. “There’s only so much we can do with a borough this size, and there are ceilings to the budget, so we had to get creative and look at ways to enhance our operations, and this was very attractive to everyone involved. The fact that I am so familiar with the New Garden Police Department and know their officers, I would welcome those officers to West Grove.”

“For consistency, continuity, information sharing and service, I see this as an opportunity to all be on the same page, be trained the same way, and be able to

follow the same protocols and procedures.”

The path to the formation of the regional police department is already linked by many common threads. Simpson grew up in the Avon Grove School District, and lived in West Grove for five years. He also began his law enforcement career in West Grove in 1983, and for a 14-month period, he served as the borough’s Police Chief, where he worked with Nesbitt.

Before being named the full-time Police Chief in the borough in January, and shortly after retiring from the State Police, King served as an officer in New Garden for two years.

For now, however, the regional unit is still in the drawing room and not on patrol, as the legalities of police contracts and the terms of agreement between the two municipalities are currently being ironed out. Should West Grove Borough and New Garden Township finalize the legal language in the next month or two, Simpson is confident that the new department could officially begin operations

While Sen. Dinniman should be commended, his bill will never see the light of day. In fact, with Pennsylvania’s General Assembly, the bill is a joke. No legislator in Harrisburg who wants a job for life -- which is 99 percent of them -- will ever vote to increase any tax to bring in substantial revenue. Nickels, dimes, or gambling revenues are the only fair game.

The gridlock we have in Harrisburg is far worse than in Washington, D.C. Congress doesn’t have a budget either, but they now get together to keep the government running. To make matters worse, we have a liberal for a Governor, who is in way over his head.

While Dinniman’s bill is going nowhere, he is the best of the worst. The only Democrat ever selected to the State Senate from Chester County is running for re-election this year. The last time Dinniman had an opponent, he handily defeated County Commissioner Carol Aichele. This year, the GOP has nominated a lightweight who should be cannon fodder for Dinniman.

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

this summer, as a 25-person department, with 15 full-time police officers, five part-time officers, and administration.

The overall branding of the regional department is also underway: Uniforms and logos are being designed, and cross-training between agencies has begun. To date, no name has been finalized, but Simpson is leaning to adopting “Southern Chester County Regional Police Department” as the official name of the department.

The projected cost of the regional department will be divided according to population: The township, with close to 13,000 residents, would pay for 80 percent of the yearly budget; and the borough, with nearly 3,000 residents, would be responsible for the remain-

ing 20 percent.

Once formed, the department will be expected to continue to operate out of their current facilities -- at the West Grove Borough Building and at the temporary, modular offices of the New Garden Police Department on GapNewport Pike. Currently, New Garden Township is developing a needs assessment study in order to determine what many in the township believe is its biggest need: the construction of a new police department facility, one that would accomodate enough space for a large public area, administration and police unit offices as well as “hardened areas,” intended for incarceration and storage of police firearms.

“I’ve been a police officer for 33 years, and I came into this job because I like to solve problems, and as a police chief, my problems are organizational in nature,” Simpson said.

“It’s my solemn duty to steer the ship in a direction that’s going to clear those problems up, for efficient reasons and financial reasons, in order to best serve the public.

“I’m confident that I have great people around me -great officers and personnel -- to handle the mission that’s in front of us,” he added. “We will stabilize our coverage, beef up our administrative staff, and improve our investigations.

By putting our two departments together, we can deliver public safety better.

We’re better together than apart.”

Avon Grove School Board discusses budget situation, policy changes

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer The Avon Grove School Board’s agenda on Thursday, Feb. 25 included discussions about everything from the preliminary budget to the purchase of electricity to a series of school district policies that are being revised.

School board vice president Brian Gaerity, who serves on the district’s Finance and Budget Committee, said that the committee recently took a look at revenues to the school district.

Gaerity talked about how the eight-month old state budget impasse is making it difficult for Avon Grove—

visited by several passersby, including two New Garden Township supervisors. He said that some shouted loudly at the crew from their vehicles, assuming that they were from Artesian.

Within hours of the time the shovels first hit the ground, dozens of e-mails from irate citizens began to pour into the Save Our Water Committee, a group of local residents concerned with the potential impact an activated well would have on the water supply and distribution in New Garden Township and surrounding municipalities.

The drivers were not alone. For the entire weekend, the installation of the underground pipes caused confusion and anger for hundreds of residents and elected officials, many of whom were under the impression that as a result of its Feb. 3 letter to Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) Secretary Rosemary Chiavetta, one that requested a Leave to Withdraw application, that Artesian would end its nearly twoyear-long plan to activate the aquifer.

Not so.

In a Feb. 23 telephone interview with the Chester County Press, Joe DiNunzio, an Artesian spokesman, stated that the Leave to Withdraw application it filed with the PUC was merely a move by the company to end the pursuit of establishing a franchise designation for the aquifer.

However, DiNunzio said that Artesian will focus its energy on meeting the requirements set forth by the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC), who approved Artesian’s proposal to withdraw water from the Broad Run aquifer in December, under the proviso that the company first conduct a nine-month testing of the aquifer to assure local authorities and regulatory agencies that the rate Artesian wishes to pump from the well -- projected to be up to 288,000 gallons of water per day -- will not decimate water levels in the vicinity of the well.

DiNunzio insisted that the PUC petition and the DRBC ruling are “two separate matters,” and apologized on behalf of the company for not making Artesian’s intentions with the Broad Run aquifer more clear.

“It is obviously a misunderstanding and deserved clarification, but the PUC withdrawal was a decision independent of our efforts with the DRBC monitoring plan,” he said. “No pending development on any of those parcels required ser-

and all of the state’s 500 school districts—to prepare spending plans for the 20162017 school year.

District officials don’t know yet what funding Avon Grove will receive for the current school year, let alone the next school year.

“It’s a mess for the lack of a better word,” Gaerity said.

“We are still waiting for that budget.”

Gaerity said that the district is taking a very conservative approach when it comes to factoring in how much the district will be receiving in state subsidies.

While Gov. Tom Wolf’s proposed budgets have called for increased funding for

schools, Avon Grove is not including the proposed increases because officials do not want to over-estimate that funding.

Gaerity went on to explain that there was a time when the education subsidies from the state paid for about half the school district’s operations. Over the last few decades, that percentage has dropped to about 30 percent, leaving a greater burden on local taxpayers. Unfunded mandates from the state, particularly the contribution rates to the Public School Employees Retirement System [PSERS], exacerbate the problem for school districts.

In his Facilities Committee report, school board member Edward Farina said that the committee discussed an agreement that district officials have worked out with Constellation NewEngergy, Inc. for the purchase of electricity for a period of July 11, 2017 to July 10, 2019.

Farina said that the contract will save the district approximately $51,000 over two years. The school board then formally approved the contract.

The board approved the first readings of policies on behavior intervention for students with disabilities and a policy about special education evaluations and requests

vice at this point, so there was no reason to spend time with the PUC on this matter.

“From our perspective, its pretty clear that the PUC regulates franchises, but it doesn’t regulate the monitoring plan. Things understood by us are not always understood by others.”

DiNunzio said that prior to the installation of the pipes, he contacted New Garden Township Manager Tony Scheivert, to inform him that while the company was withdrawing its pursuit of a franchise label with the PUC, it would continue to focus on the nine-month testing. When reached for comment, Scheivert said that while he confirmed his telephone conversation with DiNunzio, he said that at no time during the conversation did DiNunzio mention or request information from Scheivert about filing for township permits needed in order to install the pipes at the Broad Run aquifer.

Subsequently, the township has sent Artesian and the property owner -- Broad Run Valley, Inc. -- a notice of violation of township ordinances, for installation of the pipes at the aquifer site. To date, the township has not heard a response from the Delaware-based water company.

For thousands of residents and dozens of elected officials, appointed officers, environmentalists and regulaltory agency representatives, Artesian’s presence in southern Chester County has been a more than two-year conundrum of miscommunication, orchestrated by a company whom the “locals” view as an outsider, and the recent installation of the pipeline at the Broad

Run aquifer has only exacerbated the division. In an effort to clear up lines of communication, Scheivert said that he is inviting Artesian representatives to meet with New Garden Township officials, a meeting that Township Solicitor Vincent Pompo said is crucial to understanding what Artesian’s plans are.

“Relative to going forward, I don’t have information on what exactly they’re intending to do,” Pompo said. “If they want to go through nine months of testing, does that mean that they’re only going to do testing at that site, and interconnect that with their system, so that they can do testing? They have to tell us what they’re going to do, and then we can advise them what approvals they would need from the township.”

Meanwhile, it’s business as usual for Artesian.

“Our intention is to complete the monitoring plan as required by the DRBC,” DiNunzio said. “We want everybody to be comfortable in knowing that our use of that well will not have negative impact on stream flow and environment.

“The well has to be activated in order to complete testing, and from there, whatever land-use decisions are determined will follow, but we can’t get past square one without pumping the well, and showing that there’s no effect on neighboring wells, as a result of the pumping. Based on everything we’ve done, were moving forward, because we have confidence that the testing will meet everyone’s satisfaction.”

look forward to working with Bob and the staff at Bove’s to support them in any way we can.”

“I am delighted that a new business operator has chosen to occupy the storefront so quickly,” added Kennett Square Borough Council president Dan Maffei.

“I’m very excited for Bob to reopen Bove Jewelers and continue the outstanding legacy that Bove’s has created over the past 86 years,” said council vice president Geoff Bosley. “It is a Kennett Square institution started by the Bove family, continued and enhanced by George Reinas, and now Bob will have an opportunity to raise the bar even further. I wish Bob all the luck in the world, and know it will be a success story. It’s terrific to see a landmark stay in Kennett Square.”

During its 86-year history, Bove Jewelers specialized in fine jewelry, watches, diamonds, and giftware. The business traces its origins to 1929, when C. L. Thomas opened a store in town.

Barbara Bove purchased the business in 1961, and ran it until 1993, which is when Reinas took over as owner.

Strehlau, a Ridley, Pa., native, was seemingly born to be the owner of a jewelry store like Bove. His family has a long history in the jewelry business, dating back to 1879 and spanning five generations. His family owned stores in Cape May, N.J., and Aston, Pa. His grandfather, Charles Holland, was a watchmaker and diamond setter who helped introduce his grandson to the business.

Strehlau was working primarily as a goldsmith and as a diamond setter before To contact Staff Writer he was recruited by Reinas Richard L. Gaw, e-mail rgaw@chestercounty.com.

for independent education evaluations. There was also a second reading of seven other policies, including guidelines on interscholastic athletics, concussion management, sudden cardiac events, curriculum development, curriculum review by parents and students, exemptions from instruction, and resource materials.

The meeting began with a 15-minute preview performance of a few scenes from “Into the Woods Jr.” by Fred S. Engle Middle School students. The shows took place on Feb. 26 and 27. The school board members and the audience were entertained—and impressed—by the preview.

Gaerity jokingly made a motion to table all the business on the agenda so that the students could continue the performance.

As the students packed up and left the room, school board president Bonnie Wolff acknoweldged that the rest of the meeting would be less entertaining than the performance.

A committee-of-thewhole meeting is slated for Thursday, March 10 at 6:30 p.m. in the Avon Grove Intermediate School audion.

to work at Bove in 2001. He became the store’s general manager three years later.

“It was an entirely different jewelry store than I had seen before,” he said.

The customers at the Kennett Square location were very fashion savvy and knew a lot about the products that they were buying. It was also a very friendly community.

One thing that Strehlau discovered during his early days as the general manager is that he also enjoys the retail aspect of the business.

“Interacting with clients is very rewarding,” he said. “It is one of the few occupations where you can put a smile on every client’s face. And every day brings something different.”

He and his wife quickly grew to love the Kennett Square community as well, relocating to the area in 2004.

“We knew that I wanted to stay with the store for as long as it would keep me,” he said.

His dedication to the store and his understanding of the Kennett Square area made the decision to buy the store an easier one. Now, he’s working on developing his plan for the future.

He’s working on changing the Bove Jewelers logo slightly. The logo will now feature an “S” in the diamond that is placed above the “J” in Jewelers as a nod to his own family’s long history in the jewelry business. The new owner, and by extension the store’s clients, won’t have to worry about the quality

of the service. Strehlau has been able to keep most of the experienced staff members, ensuring that the rapport with clients will be maintained.

“We’re right in the middle of getting things ready,” Strehlau said. “We’re going to have some surprises.”

One significant change, according to Strehlau, is that he is going to focus on bringing in a wider variety of products, ranging from basic to contemporary to high-end lines. “We want to bring in some more affordable jewelry,” he said. “There will be something for the whole family.”

That includes children.

One entire showroom will be devoted to merchandise for children of all ages, which will make Bove Jewelers just one of three jewelry stores in the country to have a showroom dedicated exlusively to children. Strehlau has reached agreements on contracts to offer Disney, Star Wars, and Lego merchandise.

This showroom will be set up to be kid-friendly, too.

Strehlau will continue to be one of the main buyers for the store, and staying informed about the latest fashion trends is an important part of the job.

“What sells great in SoHo or Los Angeles is not going to be what sells in Kennett Square,” he said. “That’s a challenge, but it’s also fun.”

Local News East Nottingham supervisor vacancy expected to be filled by April board meeting

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer One vacancy still exists on the East Nottingham Township Board of Supervisors, but the expectation is that there will be a full board of five members in time for the April meeting.

Within a five-week period late in 2015, two supervisors—Jane Ladley and Scott Blum—resigned from the board. The township’s vacancy board convened in December to fill the first vacancy, but was deadlocked 2-2, and unable to make an appoint-

One of Fred Deckman’s many passions was collecting original Matchbox cars. He worked diligently with Matchbox to create a custom Matchbox truck for the Unionville Community Fair. As a result of their dedication, the fair was dedicated in their honor about 10 years ago.”

Deckman took the helm of the fair at a critical time.

The organizers had been searching for new leadership without success, and the fair was threatened with closing.

“I was not aware of the dire situation until very recently,” Deckman said. “My husband came across an article posted on Facebook that the fair was set to end if no one

When the board of supervisors reorganized in January, Shelley McLeod Meadowcroft and Joe Herlihy were welcomed on as new elected members, joining incumbent supervisor Art Rieck. According to Meadowcroft, the board formally accecpted Scott Blum’s resignation at the Jan. 4 meeting. The board then attempted to hold a special meeting to fill this vacancy on Feb. 2, but Herlihy would not take

part in that meeting and there was no quorum. The vacancy board convened on Feb. 8 and voted to appoint Sam Goodley to the board. The appointment was challenged in the Chester County Court of Common Pleas, and the appointment was upheld so Goodley became the fourth member of the board.

The other vacancy is still in the hands of Chester County Court of Common Pleas Judge William P. Mahon. He has asked the township to open up the vacancy again so that people can send in a letter

“We discussed stepping up, and in the process of our discussion, we began to recall just how heavily the Deckman family had been involved in the fair, a past which we had nearly forgotten over the years,” she said. “Once we made the connection, we felt an obligation to not only the fair, but to his grandparents, Laura and Fred, to step up to the plate. With Matt already being the president of Avon Grove Area Little League, we thought it was appropriate for me to offer to take it on. I also am a board member of Avon Grove Area Little League, but as president, my husband dedicates much more time.”

Deckman’s background in financial management should be another plus, she said.

“Being a business person, I believe that getting involved in your community is imperative,” Deckman said. “The easiest way to do so is donate your time doing something you are passionate about. Matt and I believe that many children don’t understand, and often take for granted, the efforts that volunteers make to help communities run. Our approach to combat this is to get involved ourselves, and set the standard for them.

U-CF School Board tangles over strategic plan proposals

By John Chambless Staff Writer Coming towards the end of a marathon meeting of the Unionville-Chadds Ford School Board on Feb. 22, the prickly statement from board member Michael Rock was a surprise to everyone sitting at the table with him at Patton Middle School.

“Can I be cantankerous?”

Rock asked after fellow board member Robert Sage touched upon the district’s strategic plan proposal, which has been under discussion for several months. District superintendent John Sanville had just given each board member five proposals from vendors to perform a strategic plan for the district.

“I consider us discussing proposals to go forward with a strategic plan illegitimate,” Rock said. “We created an activity called a strategic plan. It was never discussed at a board meeting. A motion was never made to add it.

I came to a board meeting and all of a sudden we have an activity called a strategic plan. That is not very transparent. I even wonder if it’s in violation of sunshine laws. That’s point one.

“Point two, last year at the end of the budget process, we agreed to put some money aside for strategic planning,” Rock continued. “It came at the end of the process. The way it was added I consider to be

illegitimate. Third, I will not participate in any strategic planning activity as long as the budget hasn’t been approved. If the board goes forward with the strategic planning activity before the educational budget for next year is approved, I will not participate.”

There was an awkward pause before Sanville responded. “With all due respect, I couldn’t disagree with you more. The process could not have been more transparent. I’m sorry you feel that way.”

Board member Gregg Lindner told Rock, “We had talked previously about this being done as part of the budget process. We had said nothing would be done before a budget process took place.”

Board president Victor Dupuis said, “The budget doesn’t get formally approved until June. We are going to have budget discussions in March, April and May. As part of that, we’ll talk about the strategic plan. It’s not out of the question that we could approve the authorization of one of these vendors prior to the June approval of the budget.”

Lindner added, “Approving it before the budget would be disappointing to me. I would hope it would be part of the budget process.”

Sage countered Rock’s complaint, saying, “If we

go back and look, there was a presentation to the board in January 2015. One of the recommendations was to form a strategic planning committee, so I think that was a transparent suggestion to the board. The board provided feedback at that time. The committee was formed subsequent to that.

I would also add that the amount of money that was proposed to add to the budget -- I agree at the last minute -last year was declined by the board, and was not added.

“I think the facts are incorrect as stated,” Sage told Rock. “In April of 2015, we had a board retreat whose purpose was discussing strategic planning, which we did for about three hours.

We discussed the merits of potentially going forward with such a process. I think there’s been plenty of discussion in a transparent way.”

When offered another chance to comment, Rock responded only, “I beg to disagree.”

The five proposals will be studied by the board members and discussed at their March work session.

Sage said, “For any vendors listening, this is going to be a very competitive process and they will need to sharpen their pencils.”

New plans emerging for building at 120 East State Street in Kennett Square

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer The potential new owner of a building at 120 East State Street is asking Kennett Square Borough Council to consider an economic development liquor license application that would allow for the opening of a fullservice restaurant at the longvacant building.

Mike Scali, an attorney who is interested in purchasing the building to open a restaurant, and his attorney, William J. Shehwen III, made the request at the Feb. 16 council meeting.

Kennett Square Borough Council president Dan Maffei noted during the discussion that borough council’s role would simply be to sign off on the submission of the application. It will be up to the state’s Liquor Control Board to actually approve the application and grant the liquor license.

Scali and Shehwen explained that obtaining a liquor license is an essential part of the plans to open a restaurant. The liquor license that is being applied for would be completely nontransferable, and could not be sold to a different owner of the same business or sold to someone and be used at any other property.

Kennett Square Borough Council is expected to consider a resolution regarding the application at an upcoming meeting on

There could soon be a new purpose for 120 East State Street in Kennett Square. A potential new owner is exploring the possibility of opening a restaurant in the building.

Monday, March 7.

The building at 120 East State Street was once the home of the Kennett Cafe, but has long been shuttered.

Restaurateur Jack McFadden purchased the building nearly a decade ago and undertook a large-scale renovation of the building with plans to open an upscale restaurant.

McFadden worked with the borough to secure a $500,000 economic development loan from the state. Plans for the building evolved over time, with McFadden

planning a wine bar and a tapas restaurant at various times, but he never opened any business at the location.

According to a source with knowledge of the situation , the sale of the building from McFadden to Scali is still pending. An agreement of sale has been in place on the property since last December, according to the source.

On Feb. 2, John Arthur Murphy, of Oxford, passed away.

He and his wife Joan were devoted to each other for 63 years, and his devotion to her was one of the most remarkable aspects of his recent life. John was born in Philadelphia in 1931 and attended Germantown High School and St. Peter’s Lutheran Church, where he met Joan. Post-graduation, he became a machinist and served in the Seabees during the Korean War in Cuba (Guantanamo Bay) and Newfoundland. He married Joan in 1953. Later, he attended Penn State University, where he studied business and management. He worked for many years at the United States Banknote Company, initially holding several positions as a manager. Then, without a formal engineering degree, he became their Vice President of Engineering and served in that role for many years. He was both an engineering and currency expert. He had a technical, sharp mind and expected others to hold themselves to the same high standard he held for himself, but was also witty and warm.

At home, he was not only a devoted husband, but also a dedicated, wise and loving father to his three children. Outside of work and family, he was a creative individual, skilled with woodworking, leather working, stained glass, and gardening. He was also a very talented lifelong singer, first as a boy soprano at several big Philadelphia churches, and then as a baritone soloist and bass singer in many different ensembles and at every church he ever attended. He was committed to his faith, and volunteered his time on many Lutheran church committees over the years.

Beyond his work, home and church life, he and his wife loved to travel, and they trailered their way through most of the United States.

He will be missed by his wife, Joan; his three children, Judi (husband Bob), John (wife Dori) and Joy (husband Doug); and his grandchildren, Noelle and Aliza. A service was held Feb. 27. Memorial donations may be made to the National Kidney Foundation.

The order of things

SILO Snow Ball raises money to serve Oxford community

Three weeks ago, Raymond W. Schoen, 42, the newest member of London Grove Township’s Board of Supervisors, was arrested by Birmingham Township Police on a triple count of criminal trespass, theft and receiving stolen property, for his involvement in the alleged theft of firearms from a Birmingham Township home in December.

Schoen was later released on his own recognizance, but as he awaited a preliminary hearing on March 1 in the Kennett Square District Court, there is no indication that he will resign from his post. Elected to the board last November after running unopposed, Schoen remains a sitting and voting member of the board.

When it comes to legal matters of this kind, it is only right for a newspaper to determine what should be made public knowledge and what should remain private. It is a delicate walk, but one made more complicated when the subject is a public figure – particularly an elected one. There is an even larger responsibility for a newspaper, however, and it’s one that should never be entered into lightly. It is the responsibility to take the higher ground and speak to its readers about what it sees from a clearer perspective; in this case, what happens when the flow and order of government is tangled by obstruction. There seems little doubt that Schoen’s intention to serve on the London Grove Board of Supervisors, while honorable and altruistic, is no longer front and center here.

His arrest is. Indeed, it’s now the elephant in the room. At the March 2 London Grove Township board meeting, it is anticipated that the township solicitor will be fielding several questions about how the township is responding to Schoen’s legal issue. It’s not in their hands; in fact, the township recently addressed the issue on its website, indicating that the Board of Supervisors, by law, does not have the authority to remove any supervisor from the board for any reason, and to date, they have not met privately to discuss the issue.

In government, achieving the proper order of things is the lifeblood of progress, and any roadblock to that order should be removed. It is the opinion of this newspaper that Raymond Schoen should step down from his post as a supervisor and focus on the issues that affect him, privately.

Ultimately, the decision rests with him, but as he makes his decision, we offer that his seat on the London Grove board was never intended to serve himself, but the residents.

Letter to the Editor: An eclectic mix of people from diversified cultures, backgrounds, economic stadings, etc., gathered for the fourth annual SILO (Serving, Inspiring, Loving Others) Snow Ball to raise over $40,000, to provide free monthly community meals.

We danced all night and enjoyed delicious foods

and Roaring 20s décor, including flapper dresses and white silk ties. How fun it was to go back to another time, another place, and another space.

The dancing did bring back a flood of memories for me—from Mother teaching me the Jitterbug to the Big Band sounds from the radio at the age of five on the kitchen linoleum – to Teen-Town

with high school friends, to great dance events with hand-sewn dresses, to 2016. Yes, a dinner dance can be a window to the past, but it wasn’t only for me. I heard a number of people reminiscing about dances, romances, weddings and secrets.

A SILO event is a window into the future as we see sparks of romance and loving looks exchanged by

couples sharing an evening to rekindle their affection.

We see friendships, family relationships, and generations growing. We see a community networking in ways that will build paths to places we don’t even know. All this from a Snow Ball—so thank you, SILO! Peggy Ann Russell Oxford

Illegal and reckless

By Congressman Joe Pitts More people were killed by terrorists in 2015 than in any other year ever, after an 80 percent increase from 2014.

No wonder then that public opinion polls continue to show widespread anxiety among the American people.

And while there are many issues that cause worry, concerns about terrorism and security are some of the most urgent.

Threats against our country are not receding. In fact, the situation is as dire today as it has ever been. According to federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies, ISIS has a presence in at least 30 countries, and all 50 states. The FBI has over 900 open ISIS-related investigations in the United States and made some 50 arrests just in 2015.

The United States has leased 45 square miles of land at Guantanamo Bay from the Cuban government for about a century.

Today, the Guantanamo Bay detention facility is where we keep the most dangerous terrorists in our custody – enemy combatants taken prisoner during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. For the kind of people who get sent to Guantanamo Bay, rehabilitation is not expected. These are not

petty thieves, but hardened, bloodthirsty terrorists.

According to information published by the Director of National Intelligence, some 30 percent of Guantanamo prisoners who have been released are confirmed or suspected of re-engaging in terrorist activity.

Of the nearly 800 detainees at one time held at Guantanamo Bay, more than 500 detainees were transferred to other countries by the Bush Administration and 147 detainees have been transferred by the Obama Administration.

Today, 91 detainees remain at Guantanamo Bay. Many of us were outraged when President Obama exchanged – in violation of statute passed by Congress – five Guantanamo Bay terrorists for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who is now being court-martialed for desertion, a deal so lopsided that it makes his Iran agreement look good.

Last week Ibrahim al Qosi, a former Guantanamo prisoner, appeared in a propaganda video as a senior member of Al-Qaeda. On Tuesday, Spanish and Moroccan police arrested four terrorism suspects, one of whom turned out to be a former Guantanamo Bay prisoner who was plotting with ISIS to attack innocent

civilians in Spain.

That same day, President Obama sent a formal proposal to Congress that would close the Guantanamo Bay detention center. This plan even includes transferring detainees to the United States, though it does not specify where.

This proposal is not only unwise at a time like this, but also happens to be illegal.

Under current law – which Obama signed into enactment and which bipartisan majorities supported – the President does not have the authority to transfer detainees to the United States without Congressional approval.

In November, I joined with 15 of my fellow members of Congress who are also veterans in a letter to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, cautioning them on the legality of closing the Guantanamo Bay facility. Our concerns have not gone away.

The President seems to take the threat of terrorism less seriously than do the American people. While popular opinion wants more stringent measures against terrorists, the President is making us more vulnerable.

He lectures the American people about the need to take a few thousand more refugees (out of the 11 million currently displaced Syrians),

about making people feel unwelcome, and about the crimes of Christians during the Crusades, all while taking actions that make us less safe. These priorities are out of order. Security and safety must always come first.

The President shouldn’t judge the American people for being afraid. Rather, he should reassure us with strong leadership.

I have voted repeatedly on a bipartisan basis to keep terrorist prisoners out of the United States and in Guantanamo. When the House last voted on this, 13 Democrats agreed.

This week, the House passed two bills to stop terrorist travel. These bills will direct the Department of Homeland Security to review the known instances, since the outbreak of civil war in Syria, in which a person has attempted to travel from the United States to Iraq or Syria to assist terrorists. Further, they will require the President to transmit to Congress a detailed national strategy to stop terrorist travel.

Why President Obama insists on taking an illegal action that makes us less safe is mystifying. Nevertheless, the House will continue to work to keep our country safe, and to keep terrorists where they cannot hurt us.

Losing our land grant

By Rick Ebert, President, Pennsylvania Farm Bureau I can hear my father’s words quite plainly today.

When explaining to me the difference between cost and value, he’d say what I’m sure many of us have heard before, “You get what you pay for.”

So last week’s announcement by Penn State President Eric Barron that our land grant university might be forced to shutter the doors of Extension offices in all 67 counties, shouldn’t really surprise us.

Eight months into the fiscal

year, the Commonwealth has not made a single payment to Penn State Extension, for the multitude of service they provide to ensure food safety and enhance plant and animal health.

After vetoing two previous budget proposals last year, the Governor decided to lineitem veto the Legislature’s third proposal, in order to disperse some public funds to keep public schools and human services functioning.

As a result of the line-item veto, funding for PSU Cooperative Extension and Research, along with other agricultural priorities, have been zeroed out of the exist-

But the hardworking men and women of Penn State Extension, and the value they provide to farm families, consumers and more than 90,000 4-H youth across the state, should not be used as leverage in a political “game of chicken.”

We’ve been fortunate to have an institution like Penn State working diligently to enhance our lives and livelihoods.

Through Penn State’s top-notch researchers and helpful agricultural Extension agents, farms all across our Commonwealth are managing risk, increasing production and controlling pests in a much more effective and environmentally-sensitive way than ever before.

Penn State Extension’s true impact is impossible to measure. But what our land grant university does for farm families – and the entire community – is a

Farm Bureau does acknowledge the previous actions by the legislature to include funding for Penn State Extension in budget legislation, but unfortunately, there is nothing yet to celebrate. No reason to applaud.

As most of us in agriculture know, Penn State began as the “Farmers’ High School,” and its charge was to apply scientific principles to farming. For 160 years, Penn State in many conversations with kept that promise to agrilawmakers and cabinet culture and has served as officials about this issue. It the Commonwealth’s Land seems to me that all sides – Grant University. Today, Republicans and Democrats, Penn State is seen as a legislators and members of national leader in agriculturthe administration – agree al research and Extension. that Penn State Extension But, if the Legislative and plays a vitally important and Executive branches of our necessary role in protecting state government are unable the safety of food, plants, to come together – soon – to animals and humans in our solve the budget crisis for state.

lightly. Without state funding for Extension, which is used to attract twice as much funding from federal sources, not only is Penn State Extension at risk of closing its doors, but the entire College of Agricultural Sciences at Penn State faces a bleak future.

I refuse to accept this as an acceptable outcome, and hope that farm families across the state share in my outrage.

Agriculture is constantly facing a variety of challenges beyond our control, such as: volatile market prices, overzealous regulations and devastating weather conditions.

Losing our Land Grant because of politics is preventable. Farmers can make a difference and influence this outcome.

Our elected officials – all of them – must take swift action preventing the closure of Extension offices and the furlough of Extension agents in all 67 counties.

Blue Demon skater hits the ice with the boys

Taylor Cullen: Hockey player, role model

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer In the third period of the Feb. 5 Inter County Scholastic Hockey League game between Kennett High and the Delaware Military Academy, Number 48 of the Kennett team was hovering near the opposing goal when burly Alex Maglio of the Academy rammed into the player’s back.

The only item on the player that seemed to resist the hit was a brown ponytail, that whipped up from underneath her helmet. The player, a 15-year-old sophomore on the Blue Demon squad, quickly got up from the ice and continued to play, and the back of her uniform was dusted with ice that partially obscured her last name: Cullen – as in Taylor Cullen, the team’s only girl.

Her immediate rise from the scrum near the goal was all in a day’s work for Cullen, because nearly from the time she was a second-grader learning to skate at the Chester County Skating Club at the Upland Day School rink, she has known that such physicality is all part of the game she loves.

“I kind of understand why the player did that, because I’m a girl who is playing with the boys, and if they want to hit me, they can, because it’s my choice to play with the boys,” Taylor said. “I shouldn’t be treated any differently just because I am a girl.”

“I keep telling her to be in the right place at the right time, so when they do shoot, she is there to bang home a rebound,” said her father Todd, a Kennett assistant coach.

“Unfortunately, it often leaves her vulnerable at the front of the net.”

The hits and body checks notwithstanding, Taylor’s decision to play on the boys’ team became an opportunity to test her skills with players of superior ability to hers, she said.

“In the beginning of the season, I was so nervous and anxious to prove myself that I was afraid to mess up, afraid that my teammates would look at me as if to say, ‘Oh, well, she’s a girl,’” she said. “Now, I think they’ve come to accept that I’m actually pretty good.”

Although she’s scored six goals herself this season, Taylor’s role on Kennett is that of a playmaker – a set-up artist – on a team dominated by goal scorers like Ryan Johnson, Luke Borman and Jack Dreisbach.

“At first, I was hesitant to allow Taylor to play on the boy’s team,” said her mother, Sharon.

“She’s also playing very competitively on a girls’ team, and I see how physical the girls are on the ice, so I was worried about her playing with boys.

“The first few games were rough, but I think the boys on the other teams take consideration of the fact the she’s a girl, and don’t want to go after her.

The boys on her team stick up for her because when she does get decked, they approach the opponents

who try to take advantage of her, as if to say, ‘You really don’t want to be doing that again.’”

Taylor’s first year on the Blue Demons squad has not only been a bold move individually, but a well-timed one. Kennett just put the finishing touches on an 11-4-0 regular season, which has qualified them for the Flyers Cup’s Division Cup A tournament for the first time in a decade, to decide eastern Pennsylvania’s top teams in a four-bracket tournament. The eventual winner of each individual bracket earns the right to play for the state title at Penn State in mid-March.

Kennett is one of 14 teams to qualify for the Cup A tournament, joining Unionville and Avon Grove.

The journey that has led Taylor to the Kennett team has not been much different than most young hockey players. It began with early-morning rides to partially heated or outdoor rinks, when Todd and Sharon would transport Taylor – as well as her twin sister Morgan, who now plays goalie at

Lawrenceville Prep in New Jersey – from practices and games. At first, the thought of hopping in a freezing car at 5 a.m. to be driven to a practice was not appealing to Taylor, but as her skills progressed, she began to love the game.

Ice hockey is one of the fastest-growing women’s sports in the world, with the number of participants increasing 350 percent in the last ten years. In 2011, Canada had 85,827 women players, and the United States had 65,609.

In the Cullen home, hockey qualifies itself as a 12-month sport – from the grind of a threemonth season to camps and training and traveling over the course of the remaining nine months.

This summer, Taylor will be heading to a hockey showcase in Florida, where she will display her skills to college scouts, and will also be trying out in hopes of attending a national camp in Minnesota. She also plays on the Chester County Cougars Tier 1 squad, a 16-and-younger travel team, and has also begun to referee youth games at Upland and Ice

Line.

If there has been a constant presence in Taylor’s hockey journey, it has been Todd, who taught Taylor and Megan how to skate, and has coached his daughters at every level of their progression in the sport.

“As a coach, I think not only do I need to maintain the interest in the players, but justify the cost of hockey for the parents,” he said. “Parents want to see progress every year,

not only from being able to make a slap shot, but learning life lessons.

Hockey is a game where you are trying to learn team skills, life lessons, and the ability to take responsibility for your actions, by learning from mistakes. Coaching is helping them develop skills that will not only help them on the ice, but in life itself.”

After she finishes her junior and senior years on the Kennett team, Taylor

envisions herself playing at the collegiate level on a women’s team, and ultimately, wearing the stars and stripes on the U.S. Olympic women’s hockey team. For now, however, Number 48 is skating for the Blue Demons.

“I kind of feel like a role model for those girls who aspire to play hockey, just like me,” Taylor said.

This West Grove business turns unwanted computers into valuable assets Yesterday’s technology can still be useful after Sycamore International is done with it

By John Chambless Staff Writer

business partner in 2009.

We spun off this division in 2010 because it was showing a lot of promise.

It’s been growing a lot since 2011.”

In the bad old days of computer recycling, dead units were sometimes shipped to third-world countries where they were improperly stripped of raw materials, burned or left to leach dangerous materials into the soil and air. “It was a horrible environmental disaster,” Figgatt said.

Gradually, a widespread industry grew around the salvage of metals from discarded technology, but the economic downturn of the past five years left a lot of businesses by the side of the road as the value of commodities dropped.

“The economy was in bad shape when I started up,” Figgatt said. “After our West Chester location, we bought this property, which is 15 acres. It was a cabinet-making shop after it was a mushroom business.”

Sycamore is thriving because of a twist on the usual business model.

“We pay schools and corporations for their old computers,” Figgatt said.

Sycamore will pick up as many units as required, pay the owner, refurbish the units and then sell them at a discount to schools or businesses that don’t have the funds for brand-new units.

“Sometimes, we’re picking up 20 machines, and sometimes we’re picking up thousands of them. Our focus is technology that’s one to eight years old. We have customers all over,” Figgatt said. “A lot of it stays domestic – charter schools that are looking to save money, or sometimes

Outdated computers and monitors are stacked for shipping to a recycler.

consumers. A lot of our Apple equipment goes to consumers. Some go to Europe, where there’s a big secondary Mac customer base. We have a customer in Lahore, Pakistan, who has government contracts and sells to them. Because the world is so small, a lot of people can work with used equipment or run slightly older software.”

About 80 percent of Sycamore’s business is working with schools to refurbish and replace computers used by students, but they also take technology from corporations, health care facilities and other businesses. One of the primary rules at Sycamore is security, Figgatt said, pointing out the surveillance cameras in every room, and the barcode tags that are put on every piece of equipment that comes through the door.

“We label everything so we can track where it came from, who worked on it, and what they did to it, by serial number,” he said. “We’ll work on laptops, Macs and server equipment, and iPads have been huge. And copiers,” he said, citing a controversy a few years ago when Chinese businesses were buying used copiers from American businesses, and then retrieving sensitive data from their hard drives.

Some copiers retain a scan of everything that has been copied on them.

“We provide data destruction services. Data integrity is what really matters,” Figgatt said. “A lot of what we get is old server equipment, because corporations are moving to the Cloud and tearing out old data centers. We work with people in Dubai, we work with people in Hong Kong. They’re still looking to get servers and good equipment over there.

“We wipe every single hard drive,” Figgatt said, showing off a wall of equipment with dozens of small doors where the drives are inserted and passed through a sevenstep process that strips out everything. The erasing units have name stickers that read “Demeter,” Figgatt said with a grin, after the Greek goddess of the harvest. The clean drives can then be reused in refurbished computers.

Damaged drives – and even the hard drives on equipment that will eventually be shredded – are first erased.

Thousands of circuit boards are shipped to recyclers, who extract gold and other valuable metals from them.

Figgatt holds one of the circuit boards pulled from a computer shipped to Sycamore.

Tucked away in West Grove is a long, nondescript building where yesterday’s must-have gadget either meets its demise, or is reborn for more years of service.

At Sycamore International, small mountains of outdated computers, laptops and iPads arrive nearly every day. For company director Steve Figgatt, it’s a reminder of how “people are scrapping really great computers,” but it’s also an opportunity to put technology into the hands of students who might otherwise not have it.

And there’s the comfort of knowing that, last year, 1.8 million pounds of electronics did not end up being dumped into landfills because it was handled through Sycamore.

Walking through the building that formerly held a mushroom processing facility, Figgatt pointed out the stacks of newly arrived computers, the huge rooms where technicians diagnose and refurbish them, and the pallets full of reborn computers ready to be shipped to buyers again.

“In college, I majored in environmental science.

Most of my work was in wind and solar power,” said Figgatt, a West Chester native who graduated in 2008 from Ithaca College in New York. “I was running a tech business on the side, fixing computers for consumers and businesses, but I was also buying small quantities of computers in college and selling them out of my dorm room and on the internet. I started a tech company in West Chester with a former

Steve Figgatt is the director of Sycamore International in West Grove.

Not every piece of technology has a future, however.

Hulking computers from the early 1990s and huge televisions and computer monitors are stacked for disposal in one room at Sycamore.

“These are completely fried,” Figgatt said. “The TVs have leaded glass, so we send them out to be recycled by other companies. We pay to have them properly disposed of. But I’d say less than 1 percent of our revenue comes from recycling.

About 99 percent of what comes into our facility is reused.”

In the disposal area are huge bins of parts – circuit boards by the thousands, for instance, which can be stripped of their gold connectors, or aluminum and silver components.

“We send it to smelters and they can melt it down into raw materials again,” Figgatt said. “Of course, we work with the right guys, who are certified. We do everything domestically.”

To recycle huge TVs or monitor screens, “it costs about 17 cents a pound to do it right, for a certified facility,” he said.

“Basically, it’s a hazardous material.”

In October, Figgatt opened Sycamore Combine, a branch of the business that specializes in repairing iPads and tablets, mostly for school districts.

“We fix a lot of broken

screens, since kids drop these a lot,” he said. “A lot of districts are going oneto-one with these devices, which is great for us.”

In many cases, the information formerly in a textbook is accessible only through the device, so getting the device returned quickly is important. “We support 16,000 students for service right now,” he said.

In an area specializing in newer Macs, technicians refurbish computers and monitors, photograph them and put them up for sale.

On the other end of the scale, there’s a crate full of Macbooks whose labels read “obsolete.”

“We can still find a user for these,” Figgatt said, “but it takes a little while.

They’re still perfectly usable, they just won’t run the latest and greatest software.”

Figgatt cites Apple as a company that’s constantly driving progress – and sales – through bringing out new versions of its products. “A new iPad is probably coming out at the end of March, so a lot of school districts will be getting rid of their 2012 iPads to upgrade,” he said.

“They’re still fine. As a business, we’ll have to adjust to the units that will be coming in.”

The rapid cycle of updates means that any given device “will lose about 20 percent each year in depreciation” Figgatt

said. “There’s massive depreciation. Some of what we sell is maybe 25 percent of their original cost.”

To run Sycamore efficiently, Figgatt must know how much to pay for incoming equipment, the cost of making it usable again, and the price he can ask for the refurbished units. But when struggling school districts can outfit students with tablets that they could never afford as brand-new units, everybody wins, Figgatt said.

“We’re different because we pay for assets. A lot of our competition, the old-school recyclers, took equipment for free or charged people to take it.

We’ve invested millions of dollars back into school budgets. That helped some schools buy new assets again. It’s great for them, and it’s great for us.

“We processed a little over 60,000 devices through here last year,” Figgatt said. “When we started this, I had two guys in a warehouse. Now we’ve got over 22 employees.

We’re infusing millions of dollars back into school budgets. And we’re getting these devices to kids who would otherwise not have them.”

Artists and buyers excited for Chadds Ford Art Sale

By John Chambless Staff Writer The excitement is building for the 67th annual Chadds Ford Art Sale and Show, not only among art buyers, but among the artists themselves.

On the morning of Feb. 24, this year’s featured artist, Helena van Emmerik-Finn, posed for a photo at Chadds Ford Elementary School with donating artist Mary Styer Holton. Van Emmerik-Finn has regularly exhibited in the show, she said, “and the last time I was the featured artist, in 2008, it was the best show I’ve ever had in my whole career, and I’ve been doing this for over 30 years.”

She said artists throughout the region eagerly anticipate a chance to exhibit at the show, which was founded by Betsy Wyeth in 1949 as a school fundraiser when her son, Jamie, was a student there. “It’s an honor to be here,” van Emmerik-Finn said. “I love the tradition of the show. I know a lot of the other artists, so there’s a lot of camaraderie. It’s great for networking.”

The show opens on March 11 at Chadds Ford Elementary School with a free evening reception, and continues on Saturday with special events including an Art Salon, Artisan Showcase, and art tours.

About 70 artists are taking part this year, including 10 newcomers. During

the Artisan Showcase on March 12 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., artisan guests will sell handmade jewelry, wooden items and other crafts.

During a show tour on March 12 at 11 a.m., visitors can join two guides, artist Lele Galer and Stella Stojanovic Scott from Mala Galleria, who will introduce visitors to the artists and give some insight into the artwork itself.

There will also be guides leading free tours of the school’s art collection at noon and 2 p.m. on Saturday. The collection includes pieces from artists prominent in the foundation of the Brandywine tradition, including the Wyeth family.

Maggie Niemkiewicz, one of the chairs of the show, said the Art Salon exhibit this year is titled “Forces of Nature,” featuring women sculptors.

But it’s the chance to see the region’s best artwork, all in one place, that keeps crowds coming, year after year.

“The show is a destination,” she said.

“People come back every year from all over the region. This year, we do have quite a few new artists. We try to keep it traditional, but do something just a little bit different each year.”

Thirty percent of all purchases are taxdeductible. All proceeds support educational enrichment programs at

Ministry group connects faith with love of the outdoors Annual dinner slated March 12

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer When the Eighth Annual Sportsman’s event begins on March 12 at the Christian Life Center on Saginaw Road, it won’t just feature a presentation on the whitetail deer.

It won’t simply be an evening where guests can dig into covered dish meals, or look at outdoor product demonstrations, or attend a silent auction.

It will be an evening of connection – a union of fellowship facilitated by the Outdoorsman Ministry Group.

Now in its eighth year, the group began with 18

members and a mission to connect men and women not only through their passion for the outdoors, but through similarities in their personal journeys with faith and spiritual growth.

In many ways, the Outdoorsman Ministry Group has also been a journey about discovery.

At the group’s first annual dinner, the guest speaker addressed the role of the man in the family, and that if the father leads a life of faith, there is a 90 percent chance that his family will do the same.

At the second annual event held a year later, a survey was distributed to attendees, and the results

were startling: Nearly 20 percent of the respondents revealed that they had never stepped inside a church.

“We began with the simple premise that a lot of the original members of the group were connected to each other by the outdoors, whether it was through hunting, fishing, or just a love of nature,” said founding member and organizer Steve Shuster.

“But we knew that there was a bigger purpose here.

We wanted to find a way to spread the word about the significance of Jesus Christ in our lives, to allow each of us to share how important our faith has been to us.

“If we, as a group, were

Kennett musicians selected for district festivals Eight Kennett High School musicians have been selected by audition to various Pennsylvania Music Educators Association District 12 Honor Festivals. District 12 includes Chester and Delaware counties.

Erin Dooley (clarinet), Yvonna Liszewski (flute), Rebecca Ploener (bass trombone), and Sarah Ploener (clarinet) were a part of the District Band Festival, held Jan. 28 to 30 at Phoenixville High School. The students are directed at Kennett High

School by Anton Romano.

Participating in the District Chorus, from Feb. 4 to 6, were Samantha Castleton (soprano), Erin Dooley (alto), Yvonna Liszewski (alto), Alex Mark (bass), and Jimmy Rosser (tenor). The event was held at Unionville High School. Katie Soukup is the choral director at Kennett High School.

District Orchestra was held Jan. 14 to 16 at Springfield High School.

Students Julie Bates (viola) and Erin Dooley (clarinet) represented KHS. The

Kennett High School Orchestra is conducted by Jessica Williams.

Auditions for selection to the District Festivals were held on Nov. 21 at Bayard Rustin High School in West Chester. Students had to demonstrate excellence in major and chromatic scales, as well as solo performance, or choral selections, in order to participate at the District Festivals. At their respective festivals, students re-auditioned for the opportunity to go on to Region and State levels.

ever going to be relevant, we needed to reach these individuals through their activities.”

From having less than 20 members in its first year to now averaging 300 at its annual dinner, the Outdoorsman Ministry Group has grown, not only in size, but in its demographics. In addition to meeting every other Sunday at the Christian Life Center, the group sponsors a youth archery seminar every October, which is funded by proceeds generated from its annual dinner. Events are now opened up to all members of the family, which Shuster said has changed the dynamic of the

group and its mission. It’s no longer just an association of outdoor enthusiasts; in seven years, it has become a center of connection.

“We have become a place to build relationships, by virtue of the very simple concept of putting your hand out and introducing yourself,” he said. “That’s the common core of this group. Something wonderful happens when you get around people with a common interest. There comes a time when you say to yourself, ‘I want what these people have,’ and what is that? It’s having Jesus Christ become a part of your life. It becomes a way of modeling your life

the way Jesus did.”

The eighth annual Outdoor Sportsman’s event will be held on March 12 at the Christian Life Center (125 Saginaw Rd.) starting at 4 p.m. The guest speaker will be Jim Porter of The Men’s Barn Meeting and Trophies of Grace ministries in Florida. The cost is $7 per person over 12 years of age, payable in advance or at the event.

Guests are asked to bring a covered dish to share with six people. Visit www. clcfamily.net to register, or email stepheneshuster@ gmail.com.

Avon Grove Intermediate School planting vegetable gardens for the community Avon Grove Intermediate School (AGI) is partnering with the Chester County Food Bank to help raise food for the community. The school’s students, teachers, PTA members and other volunteers will be building eight raised garden beds.

These raised garden beds will be built adjacent to the memory flower garden at AGI. The beds are expected to grow actively through

the spring, summer and fall.

The Chester County Food Bank will offer support with the initial build and provide seeds and seedlings for spring, summer and fall.

Avon Grove Intermediate School has also started a “Green Thumbs” committee comprised of teachers and community members. The committee will keep track of planting days, watering, weeding

and harvests. The Green Thumbs committee will be partnering with The Bridge Food Pantry and Clothes Closet in West Grove, to ensure that the produce is given to families in need. If you are interested in getting involved with Avon Grove Intermediate Schools raised garden bed project, please contact assistant principal Michael G. Garvin or fifthgrade teacher Joni Shaw.
