Gov. Wolf: ‘We need to act now before the illness spreads more widely’
All non life-sustaining businesses in state ordered to close By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer Just two days after Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf recommended that nonessential businesses in the state shut down in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, the commonwealth is now living in an even more intensely scrutinized new reality. On March 19, Wolf ordered all non lifesustaining businesses in Pennsylvania to close their physical locations, as well as the enactment of enforcement actions against businesses that do not close physical loca-
tions that went into effect at 12:01 a.m. on March 21. On March 17, Gov. Wolf recommended that nonessential businesses such as hair salons, fitness centers and gyms, movie theaters and retail stores for a twoweek period. However, due to the lack of a serious response to the initial compliance, Gov. Wolf said that he and state officials were forced to step up safety measures. “I had hoped for voluntary compliance so our public safety officials could focus on assisting with the crisis,” Wolf said in a video statement on March 19. “Unfortunately we have not seen full com-
pliance. We have no time to lose.” Those businesses included on the list represent a wide swath of sectors from several Pennsylvania industries, including agriculture, business services; construction; financial institutions, real estate, rental and leasing operations; manufacturing; leisure and hospitality; media and information centers; and transportation and utilities. The new guidelines have ordered the closing of several sectors of manufacturing in the state, which include: apparel and textile; primary metal and Continued on Page 3A

Body cameras coming to Oxford Police By Betsy Brewer Brantner Contributing Writer Like so many police departments these days, body cameras are quickly becoming a necessary fixture, and the Oxford Police Department will be acquiring them in the late summer or early fall. The body cameras will become a vital addition to the department, and 50 percent of their cost will be paid for by a Department of Justice (DOJ) grant and the remainder by a private individual. Police Chief Sam Iacono said he has been in discussion with other departments about the use of body cameras, and concluded that the cameras will help officers and the community by providing another record of events. Iacono said that new car cameras are also coming. “It has been some time since we have updated these, and our updates will allow all of our tools to interface with each other,” he said. Iacono said he is also very pleased with the fact that the department has picked up a less lethal weapon – a shotgun filled with beanbag
shells. “It still hurts when it hits you, but if we can save one life that weapon is well worth what we pay for it,” he said. Because all new weapons and devices require training before they can be used, the department will provide training for Oxford officers so that they can train other officers -- which will save the department from having to pay the cost of paying for outside training The department is also equipping its officers with firearms that have an attached flashlight. Currently, officers hold their weapon in one hand and their flashlight in another; a firearm with a flashlight attached to the under rail of the weapon provides an officer greater flexibility in any situation. As all new equipment does, this will require training due to the change in weight of the weapon. The department is also completing training on their recently acquired new CODY software system, which will enable them to improve a multitude of functions in their department, such as providing greater efficiency in entering incident reports, and organizing Continued on Page 2A

Opinion Editorial
The sycamore tree In lower Manhattan, within view of where the Freedom Tower now rises 1,776 feet into the sky, there is a little chapel, belonging to the nearby Trinity Church, that was built at the time of the Revolutionary War. The chapel survived the Great Fire of 1777, which was set by the British to punish New York City residents for their support of the rebels. While vast neighborhoods of the island succumbed to flames, St. Paul’s Chapel survived, because those who lived near it sacrificed their safety to form a brigade of water buckets around it that kept it from burning to the ground. For more than 250 years, the tiny chapel served as a monument to the resiliency of our nation. After he was inaugurated as the first President of the United States, George Washington stopped there to pray for himself and the new country he had been asked to lead. Through the Civil War, World War I, the Stock Market Crash of 1929, the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean Conflict, and the Vietnam
War – the little church served as a quiet place of prayer and meditation. In the hours, days and weeks after the tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001, the little church became a makeshift triage center, where rescue workers – covered in the layered soot of their mission -- went to rest; where doctors and therapists provided care; where volunteers came with food; and where cots were set up for people who found themselves in the lingering cauldron of despair, but could not bear to leave. The only part of the little chapel that did not survive the attack was a giant sycamore tree that had stood for centuries in the northwest corner of the chapel’s graveyard. In the years since, many have said that were it the tree not there to absorb the punishing blow of steel and rubble, that St. Paul’s Chapel would not have survived. This newspaper is not normally beholden to symbolism. Too often, comparisons that connect facts to emblems sound self-serving and trite, and in the space that this weekly editorial provides us – we normally avoid them. We are not living in normal times, however, so please permit us to tell the story
about how the giant sycamore tree saved St. Paul’s Chapel because we believe that it dovetails with our responsibilities as citizens, and the sacrifices we may make in order to help those in our community during this most challenging time. The missives sent down from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – stay home, wash our hands and cough into our elbows – may appear on the surface more to be acts of cordiality, but they are indeed necessary. And yet in the face of an epidemic, there is much more work we can do. The following ideas provide several recommendations that are a quick phone call or visit away. Contribute to your local food bank. Due to the pandemic virus, the Food Cupboard at the Kennett Area Community Services Center is not accepting drop-off food donations, but is accepting online donations through its website, www.kacsonline.net. The Chester County Food Bank is now accepting monetary donations. Make your check payable to Chester County Food Bank, 650 Pennsylvania Drive, Exton, PA 19341, or for more information, visit
www.chestercountyfoodbank.org. The West Chester Food Cupboard is now accepting donations in the form of checks, and gift cards for Giant or ShopRite that can be mailed to the West Chester Food Cupboard at 431 S. Bolmar St., West Chester, Pa 19382, or by an online donation at www.westchesterfoodcupboard.org. You can also contribute nationwide. Visit Feeding America, www.feedingamerica.org.; Meals on Wheels, www.mealsonwheelsamerica.org, and No Kid Hungry, www.nokidhungry.org. Offer to help your neighbors, particularly at-risk individuals and seniors. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is targeting our elderly and those with serious conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and lung disease to be particularly susceptible to coronavirus. If you happen to be in a lower-risk category, make a call or two to those in your immediate neighborhood, just to see if they need any assistance. If your neighbor is elderly, offer to pick up a few items for her or him on your next trip to the grocery store, or your local pharmacy. Purchase gift cards from
small businesses, and takeout from your favorite restaurants. They are all a quick phone call or online visit away. You already know the owners by name, as well as their inventory and menus. Make sure to leave a substantial tip if you can. You do not need 36 rolls of toilet paper. In an effort to stop the increase in hording of essential household goods, many stores have implemented purchase limits. When shopping, realize that you are not the only individual living through this crisis. Respect the needs of others by honoring those rules. If you have already purchase a month’s worth of provisions, you have enough. Stay informed. The Chester County Health Department has become a go-to online source for those wanting to keep informed about the local impact of the coronavirus. Visit www.chesco.org/224/ Health. The Pennsylvania Department of Health’s website -- www.health. pa.gov. – provides a day-byday update of coronavirus information, including an excellent “FrequentlyAsked Questions” that is certain to provide answers. Perform one selfless act a
day. You can send a card to someone, or a written letter, or an email or even a text. Use social media not a doomsday tool, but as a vehicle for light and positivity; post stories of resiliency, and link your friends to information they may find helpful. During the holiday season of 2011, a spruce tree was planted where the sycamore tree once stood beside St. Paul’s Chapel. It was planted as a testament to what sacrifice can do. We are now living in the midst of a crisis, that latest of many that Americans have experienced, but for every one of these moments – a war for independence, a civil war, two world wars and several other military conflicts, a Great Depression, assassinations, epidemics, a severe recession and more weather-related catastrophes than we can count – there have been counter acts of quiet patriotism. Throughout our history, the resilience and cooperation and selflessness of our citizens has been omnipotent. Together, much like that sycamore tree, our sacrifices will keep our nation from crumbling.

Rep. John Lawrence: ‘Together, we will rise to this challenge...’ Over the last two weeks, I have spoken with many constituents who are concerned and have questions about the COVID-19 coronavirus. The situation is fluid and changing on an hour-byhour basis. Many people have asked me what steps they should take at this time. Broadly speaking, I strongly encourage everyone to take COVID-19 seriously, and to use common sense in taking proper precautions to prevent the spread of this virus. Listen to the guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and the Pennsylvania Department of Health. The Chester County Health Department has upto-date information and great resources available at www.chesco.org/Health. During this time, I have been in regular com-
munication with school administrators, business leaders, municipal officials and clergy as we navigate this unprecedented challenge. I have been encouraged by the bipartisan cooperation, particularly among my colleagues here in Chester County, as we together meet this challenge. Many in our community are adapting quickly and taking on exceptional new responsibilities. I want to thank our teachers and school officials who are trying to respond to this situation in the face of real challenges. I’ve heard from many who think the Governor has gone too far in closing things down, and many others who think he has not gone far enough. I’ve heard from representatives of restaurants and

Op-ed
Disney Plus—for health care? By Sally C. Pipes Over 10 million people have signed up for Disney Plus since it launched last year. It’s easy to understand why. The service gives subscribers access to hundreds of movies and television shows for just $7 a month— no cable plan required. Imagine if we applied that model to health care. For a flat monthly fee, subscribers could get everything from flu shots to lab tests “on demand” -- no expensive, cumbersome insurance plan required. This model already exists. It’s called direct primary care -- and Americans young and old, rich and poor alike are increasingly turning to it as a means of securing affordable, highquality health care. Under direct primary care, a patient pays a doctor a subscription-style fee in exchange for access to an array of services. Just a decade ago, there were only a handful of direct primary care practices scattered across the country. Today,
over 1,000 serve around half a million people in 49 states. The model has flourished in part because many doctors no longer want to deal with insurance. Nearly 75 percent of physicians spend at least 10 hours each week on paperwork. Bureaucratic tasks are the largest contributor to physician burnout, which affects roughly half of all family medicine doctors. Burnout is serious. Physicians who experience it are more likely to make medical errors. Direct primary care can ease doctors’ workload, reduce risk of burning out, and give them more time to spend with patients. Direct primary care visits often last up to an hour -- four times longer than the usual 15-minute visit offered in traditional practices. Putting a doctor on retainer may sound like it’s beyond the means of most Americans. But it costs less than the average cable bill. Direct primary care patients typically pay between $50
and $100 each month for a host of services. Many direct primary care providers also offer discounts on prescription drugs. Consider Kansas City Direct Primary Care, where adults 26 and over pay $65 a month for unlimited primary and urgent care visits and 24/7 access to a physician. Members also get home visits and access to reduced-price labs, medicines, and specialist services. For $140 a month, two parents can get that same level of coverage for themselves and all children under 18. For some people, that’s a much better deal than traditional insurance. The average lowest-cost plan for sale on Obamacare’s exchanges this year features a $331 monthly premium. Last year, family coverage on the exchanges ran $1,154 a month, on average. Those high premiums don’t buy much in the way of medical services. Patients may struggle to find a doctor who will take their insurance. Once they
do, they still have to shell out thousands of dollars to meet their deductibles -before they receive a dime from their insurers. In other words, direct primary care could provide a worthy alternative to the expensive Obamacare status quo. Many patients could receive better care at lower cost by pairing a direct primary care arrangement with a highdeductible, catastrophic policy that they only tapped if they sustained a medical emergency. The subscription model has transformed how Americans watch movies, buy groceries, and more. As direct primary care shows, it can transform health care, too. Sally C. Pipes is president, CEO, and the Thomas W. Smith fellow in healthcare policy at the Pacific Research Institute.

Local News Kennett Square Borough Council approves pursuing a partnership for a small parking lot on Race Street Adding parking on a borough-owned lot could lead to additional affordable housing at Race Street Apartments By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer Kennett Square Borough officials are exploring the possibility of utilizing a borough-owned lot in a new way. Russell Drumheller, the borough’s code enforcement officer, explained that there is a borough-owned lot at the corner of Race and Cypress streets that has been used
for stormwater management since 2002. The borough purchased the condemned property and demolished the existing, blighted home that same year. Since then, the lot has been largely under-utilized, although it does serve as a way to address stormwater management. Drumheller explained that there is an opportunity to utilize the lot for addition-
al parking for Race Street Apartments. That additional parking would allow Race Street Apartments to renovate some two-bedroom apartments into more onebedroom apartments. There is a need for additional affordable housing in the borough, and this would address that need in a small way. Drumheller explained that Race Street Apartments must provide two parking spaces
for each rental unit, and there is no more ground to provide these spaces. A small parking lot could be installed on top of the subsurface storm basin, allowing Race Street Apartments to add some more units. The concept was met with general support from Kennett Square Borough officials. “This is my favorite item of the year so far,” council member Ethan Cramer said,
explaining that this would bring additional affordable housing to the borough while also expanding the usefulness of borough-owned property. During the ensuing discussion, it was noted that as many as 12 apartments could be added as a result of the project. Kennett Square Borough Council voted 6-1 in favor of exploring the opportunity
for a Race Street parking lot partnership. Before such an agreement could be finalized, all the details for the partnership would have to be worked out, including how the costs of all the construction work would be paid for and how the lot would be maintained.

Jim Horn begins term as Board Chair of YMCA of Greater Brandywine Jim Horn started his term as chair of the Board of Directors for the YMCA of Greater Brandywine (YGBW). He succeeds board chair Ken Goddu, who passed the gavel to his successor after completing his twoyear term. Horn has been a member of the Y’s Board of Directors for nine years. He is the president and CEO of The Tri-M Group, a multi-million dollar elec-
trical solutions company, where he began as a designer/estimator in 1983 and worked his way to president in 1995. In 2016, YGBW honored The Tri-M Group with its Community Partner Award for their commitment to the Y’s mission and values, as well as their support of the Y’s initiatives that strengthen the community. The Tri-M Group has supported
the Y with donated electrical services in addition to encouraging their employees to volunteer with the Y. “The mission of the Y is something we firmly believe in,” said Horn. “When it comes to families who otherwise can’t afford to go to the Y and the financial assistance [the Y] provides, it’s something that’s really impressed us over the years.” Horn is also a member
of the steering committee for the Route 1 Economic Development Initiative of the Board of the Southern Chester County Chamber of Commerce, a charter member of the Longwood Rotary Club and past president of the Southeastern Pennsylvania chapter of the Associated Builders & Contractors, among many other volunteer positions. “I am grateful to Ken for

COVID-19 pandemic is in the form of collaboration. In recent weeks, he and his staff have been in “complete lockstep” with the Brandywine Conservancy, Natural Lands, the French & Pickering Creeks Conservation Trust and the Willistown Conservation Trust, as well as The Pennsylvania Land Trust Association and the Chester County Commissioners. Since it was first formed a half century ago, The Brandywine Conservancy has preserved the land and water of the Brandywine watershed for the community through source water protection, farmland preservation, and work with local
governments. In total, the conservancy has helped conserve almost 66,000 acres since its inception, and in the past year alone, the agency has assisted in the protection of 217 acres and welcomed over 10,000 member-visitors at their preserves at The Laurels, Miller Farm and Waterloo Mills. Currently, there are five miles of trails surrounding The Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art’s campus in Chadds Ford which are open to the public and soon the Conservancy will unveil a new preserve called Birmingham Hill, which will be open for all to enjoy. “For our members to be
able to enjoy these beautiful lands provides them with a sense of normalcy, at a time when it seems that the world is turned upside down,” said Conservancy Director Ellen M. Ferretti. “Nature always presents a sense of repose and peace, which of course we need right now. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping,and the spring is coming. “To have a place to go to find peace right now is remarkably important.” Despite the fact that the Conservancy’s staff is now working from home, they are continuing to do the work of the organization: developing new conservation easements with landowners;

Recommendations for trail users on observing social distancing minimums There are a number of specific recommendations for advising the public to keep safe social distancing when in parks or on trails: • Follow the Center for Disease Control’s guidance on personal hygiene prior to heading to trails —wash hands, carry hand sanitizer, do not use trails if you have symptoms, cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, etc.
• Observe at all times CDC’s minimum recommended social distancing of six feet from other people. Practice it and know what it looks like. Keep it as you walk, bike or hike. • Warn other trail users of your presence and as you pass to allow proper distance and step off trails to allow others to pass, keeping minimum recommended distances at all
times. Signal your presence with your voice, bell or horn. • Note that trail and park users may find public restrooms closed —be prepared before you leave and time outings so that you are not dependent on public restrooms. • Bring water or drinks —public drinking fountains may be disabled and should not be used, even if operable.

visiting already eased lands; and working with local municipalities through the Conservancy’s Municipal Assistance program. “We’re also collaborating with our colleagues by asking, ‘What are you doing during this extraordinary time?’” Ferretti said. “A lot of what we do as separate organizations doesn’t always fit in the same box, but we’re all there for each other and in that regard, I am extremely grateful for my colleagues at this point. “This region is quite remarkable when it comes to conservation. From private citizens to government, for-profit businesses and non-profit organizations, it is a privilege to be a part of it.” “Water and wildlife don’t see borders, and what we’re
dealing with now also doesn’t see borders,” Pride said. “As we navigate our way through this pandemic, all of us want to continue to provide opportunities for the residents of our many communities to take advantage of the nature all around them.” For up-to-date information about what preserves,and trails are open in your area, visit: The Land Conservancy for Southern Chester County: www.tlcforscc.org.

A look at Oxford’s commercial history By Steve Hoffman Staff Writer During a time in the nottoo-distant past, Oxford was a manufacturing and commercial center, surrounded by uncommonly fertile farmlands. Within a few miles, there were chrome and iron mines, kaolin clay beds, and quarries of green serpentine building stone. In town, there were machine shops, flour mills, caramel and candy factories, creameries, and brickyards. Water was plentiful. All the necessities were there to allow Oxford to develop into a thriving community. “Oxford has aroused herself to her own importance to the favoring circumstances that destine the borough to rapid growth and prosperity.” That quote comes from a book simply called, “Oxford” that was “described and illustrated by the Board of Trade and published in 1894 by the Oxford Press Print. That book provided a comprehensive overview of Oxford’s status near the end of the 19th century. Oxford has always had the benefit of geography. In the introduction to the work, there is this following description of the borough’s natural geographical blessing: “Oxford, by reason of its peculiar geographical situation, is rapidly becoming one of the most influential boroughs in the eastern section of Pennsylvania.” Later in the book, the importance of Oxford’s geography is expanded upon: Oxford is in a position to form a hub “for several towns of importance, whose spokes reach to an equal distance. The county seat, West Chester, is 26 miles to the northeast, while to the southwest is Bel Air, Md., also 26 miles away. Lancaster is 26 miles to the northwest, and Wilmington, Del., is 26 miles to the southeast.” Additionally, Oxford is just 49 miles away from Philadelphia and 56 miles away from Baltimore. At the time, the Central Division of the Philadelphia, Wilmington, & Baltimore Railroad connected Oxford to all the cities in Maryland and Pennsylvania. The book also makes note of the fact that at 533 feet above sea level, Oxford was the highest point between Baltimore and Philadelphia. The population at the time was 2500. The book credits those citizens with being a reason for the town’s success: “(H)er peaceful, intelligent, and industrious people are the surest foundation of material wealth.” The optimism of the book’s writers is obvious. At one point, there is the following: “Close investigation by the unbiased mind will lead to the logical conclusion that Oxford, from now forward, is destined to grow and grow rapidly, yet substantially.” The municipal leaders at the time of the book’s publication are listed: the Chief Burgess was Theodore K. Stubbs. Members of borough council included

D.W. Chandler, Jeremiah King, Samuel W. Wilson, A. Louis Pugh, Joshua Menough, James D. Burn, and Secretary J. Cyrus Kerr. It took three pages to list all the various business people in town. John Barry was a leading photographer in Oxford. The Brintons were the editors and proprietors of the Oxford Press. W.C. Armstrong was the proprietor of the Oxford Hotel. W.T. J. Brown and George Cooke were the town’s druggists. William Cann was the grocer and butcher. S.R. Dickey was the president of the National Bank of Oxford (the Peoples Bank of Oxford was still two decades away from being founded). Jeremiah Hannan was the superintendent of the Oxford Milling Company. John T. Miller was a blacksmith. W. F. Parker was a manufacturer of caramels. A Louis Pugh was a carriage manufacturer. J.P. Winchester owned a restaurant. The book sketches Oxford’s history, from its incorporation in 1833 through its childhood, when it remained largely agricultural, until the town started to develop as a commercial center with all the services offered by a city. The aforementioned businesses were bolstered by churches and schools and a waterworks. Transportation systems
are vitally important to the destiny of any commercial center and in the 1890s that meant the railroads. Oxford was linked to Chester, Lancaster, and York counties in Pennsylvania and towns in Maryland via the Central Division of the Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore Railroad and the Lancaster, Oxford, and Southern Rail line. The Oxford Land and Improvement Company, comprised of some of the town’s leading businessmen, worked to attract manufacturers and merchants to town. It even went so far as to have buildings designed specifically for manufacturers. This organization was responsible for bringing the caramel company to Oxford. The borough’s government also played a key role. As was explained in the book: “The government of the borough has, in its liberality, exempted all manufacturing industries from taxation for ten years and this liberal policy will be continued in the future.” The book outlined many of the major industries in town. For example: • The caramel company was operated by W. F. Parker & Co. and employed as many as 200 people. Milk, an important ingredient, was in plentiful supply. Products were shipped all over the United States and Europe. • N.P. Alexander man-
ufactured candies of all kinds and sold them throughout Pennsylvania and Maryland. • Two iron businesses thrived in town. • D.W. Chandler’s planing mill was very successful because of the need for wood to build manufacturing plants and many new homes. • Oxford’s flour mills were busy day and night because of the popularity of the product. • Oxford had quite a reputation for carriage manufacturing. • There were also cigar, broom, and carpet factories. So well-rounded was Oxford’s commercial base that the area wasn’t affected by an industrial slowdown. “Oxford’s industries never felt the financial and mercantile jars that shook other communities from center to circumference.” The book also recognized the importance of the chartering, in 1872, of the Oxford Union Fire Company. Many of the town’s most respected families supported the fire company. The firehouse was (and is) centrally located. The educational system played an important role, too, with Oxford being an early educational center that attracted students from all over. “There are seven public schools in Oxford and the system of education as
Churches have always been an important part of the Oxford community.
About the Board of Trade The Oxford Board of Trade was established in 1892 “for the purpose of promoting and increasing the domestic commerce, manufactures, general business, and industries of Oxford and vicinity.” here in operation is simple, thorough, and complete.” Just outside of town was Lincoln University, originally founded as the Ashmun Institute. From the very beginning, Oxford was a religious town. There were eight churches in 1894. “The people of Oxford are essentially a churchgoing people, and the diversity of religious belief is well indicated by the number and character of the churches. In fact, in few communities does the religious spirit hold stronger sway than here.” Rev. Ebenezer Dickey was responsible for founding the Presbyterian Church in 1822. The Oxford and Octoraro Hotels—still familiar names to Oxford residents—welcomed weary travelers. There is
an extensive history of the Oxford Hotel offered. At the time it had 73 rooms, making it the largest in the county. The stable was large enough to accommodate 50 horses. A renovation also made it one of the nicest, if not the nicest. As of 1888, William C. Armstrong was the proprietor. “Oxford is to be congratulated upon the possession of such a thoroughly representative institution as this hotel. Located in the corner of Third and Market Streets, one block from the railroad stations, it is safe to say that no happier site for a first-class hotel could have been selected.” There’s even mention of an Oxford Park, a six-acre tract that was purchased by Joel L. Lacy for the benefit of the entire community.

JANE MILLER Jane McEttrick Miller, age 90, of Kennett Square, passed away peacefully at her farm surrounded by her loving family on March 11. Born in Boston, and later raised in Lyndonville, VT by her loving mother, Helen McKeon McEttrick and stepfather, Alfred Burbank Darling, Jane never forgot her New England roots. She attended high school at Stoneleigh Burnham and graduated from the Lyndon Institute. Jane went on to receive nursing training at Mary Hitchcock (Dartmouth College), completing her Bachelor of Science degree at Simmons College. She married Dr. Edgar Raymond Miller Jr. (Tyke), and raised her growing family in the Wilmington, Del. and Kennett Square areas. While a mother of five, Jane found time to actively contribute to her community through her volunteerism as a fundraiser with The Junior League of Wilmington and the University of Delaware Department of Art. She was also an art instructor at the Ferris School for Boys. Jane was a talented artist herself who studied in Giverny, France, at the Philadelphia Art Institute, and under Carolyn Wyeth in Chadds Ford. Her paintings were displayed and honorably noted in several local art shows. Jane was truly a Renaissance woman who appreciated music, art, film, and literature, as reflected in her role as a founding member of a local book club. In addition, Jane was an incredible athlete, as displayed through her years on the tennis court, playing competitively for Vicmead Hunt and Greenville Country Club, where she once held the Club Champion Title. Jane and her beloved husband of 66 years enjoyed travelling adventurously together throughout the world, including the Antarctic, Kenya and Afghanistan. They worked together as a collaborative nurse and surgeon team at the Shanta Bhawan Hospital in Kathmandu, Nepal. Jane
and Tyke and their children summered on Nantucket Island, a place that Jane fondly remembered. Since her husband’s retirement, the couple have spent summers in the Northeast Kingdom in Lyndonville, VT, enjoying their picturesque log cabin. Whether whipping up a meal for her five children, driving the kids to and from their various schools and extracurricular activities or playing in tennis matches, she did it all with grace, a lovely smile, and with a warm heart. Jane’s beautiful five grandchildren describe their beloved and affectionately named “grandmere” as: “charming, full of life, outgoing, warm-hearted, spirited, beautiful, effortlessly elegant, charming, intelligent, effervescent, delightful, radiant, thoughtful, kind, gracious, honest, confident, quick-witted, authentic, charismatic, a bright spirit, full of life, and insightful.” She was a dignified lady who exuded grace, poise, and joy in her myriad endeavors, and who delighted in entertaining her family and friends with elegance and heart. Guests were warmed by her legendary hospitality and the beauty everywhere. She was deeply loved by her family, taking an unflagging interest in everything her children and grandchildren did. Her children note the extent of loving welcome with which Jane greeted their friends throughout the years. Jane is survived by her best friend and partner in life, Dr. Edgar (Tyke) Raymond Miller, Jr.; daughters, Catherine Darling Patel and Margaret Blackwell Perlis; sons, Dr. Edgar (Pete) Raymond Miller III, Alfred Scott Miller, John Jacob (Jake) Miller; grandchildren: Katherine (Kate) Walsh Darling Patel, Caroline Jane Patel, Edgar (Teddy) Raymond Miller IV, Anna (Annie) Riley Miller, and Ashley Elizabeth Miller. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions be made to your charitable organization of choice. For online condolences, please visit www.chandlerfuneralhome.com.

Local News Local Girl Scouts celebrate international culture More than 300 participants celebrated the 20th annual World Thinking Day. This year’s theme highlighted the diversity, equity, and inclusion reflected in the Girl Scout and Girl Guide movement, and called attention to the ways that girls can work to make their world a more equitable and inclusive place. Twenty-three countries were represented this year. Each country had educational displays and food to share. Hungary had Hungarian goulash, Chile and Argentina had churros, Belgium had a chocolate fountain, while Switzerland had cheese and Iceland had yogurt. Hungary entertained with a traditional folk dance while South Korea charmed the crowds with a traditional Korean folk song and a South Korean danced to modern K-pop wearing BTS shirts. Eleven countries had the most ingenious crafts to make. Italy had Italian chef hats and the Netherlands had windmills, while England asked the girls to write notes to their girl guides in that country. This year, a station was dedicated to refugees—people who flee to a foreign country or power to escape danger or persecution. A special collection of toiletries and socks was initiated this year for the many refugees in Europe. The girls also wrote thank
