Local News The Kennett Area YMCA welcomes new executive director On Monday, March 25, the Kennett Area YMCA welcomed Francisco Zambrano as its new executive director. Zambrano comes to Chester County after 12 years at the YMCA-Peru, where he moved through the ranks of Camp Program Coordinator, Camp Director, Branch Executive Director, and finally, Chief Operating Officer. He has a global understanding of the impact and responsibilities of the YMCA movement, and brings a wealth of cultural experience to the position, having cultivated relationships with other YMCAs throughout South

America, Central America, Europe and North America. A bi-lingual South American native, Zambrano grew up attending the YMCA of Peru. As a teenager, he participated in YMCA leadership training, finding a passion for volunteering with children and youth programs. At 19, he began serving on the YMCA of Peru’s Advisory Board, a position he held through his early 20s, between 1996 and 2000. In 2005, Zambrano was hired by the YMCA of Peru as Camp Program Coordinator which oversaw day camp and resident camp services. One year

later, he was named Camp Director, where he made his mark, founding the International division of the YMCA of Peru, which to this day continues to offer global service-learning programs that have welcomed over 800 youth participants worldwide and provided more than 150 Peruvian teens with the opportunity to learn about the American and German cultures. In 2010, Zambrano became the Executive Director of the Pueblo Libre branch of the YMCA of Peru, and two short years later, was named the Chief Operating Officer of the YMCA of Peru, during which he managed the

operations of two YMCA branches with more than 14,000 members, two camps and one outdoor center. He has devoted many years to the YMCA’s cause of strengthening communities by creating and managing programs that have improved the lives of countless people. Francisco, his wife, Marisol and five-year-old daughter, Isabella recently moved to the United States are excited to call Kennett Square their home. “We are thrilled Francisco, and his family, are joining the Kennett community,” said Denise Day, President and Chief Executive Officer of the YMCA of Greater Brandywine. “Francisco has spent his life learning from and living the Y mission, creating and implementing programs that encourage youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. With his extensive experience, we are truly looking for-

Begun last week, a PennDOT project to improve the intersection of Newark and Hillendale roads in New Garden Township is expected to be completed in the fall of 2020.

Intersection... Continued from Page 1A

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf said. Allan A. Myers, LP, of Worcester, Montgomery County, is the general contractor on the $2.3 million project, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds. New Garden Township Board of Supervisor chairman Steve Allaband works for a local service company that is located on Newark Road in Toughkenamon, and it’s not uncommon for him to drive by the intersection as many as five times a day. He said that the company he works for joins several other businesses along Newark Road

who are sure to be impacted by the year-and-a-half-long construction. “It’s going to make a huge impact,” Allaband said. “This project has been on PennDOT’s Transportation Improvement Plan for several years. About ten years ago, PennDOT began doing surveys of the intersection, and that’s when they realized that there was not enough sight distance there,

and when you arrive at that, you are required to take action. “We all want to see the improvements at Hillendale and Newark roads, but it’s overwhelming to think of all the construction that will be going on in the meantime.” To contact Staff Writer Richard L. Gaw, email rgaw@chestercounty.com.

in the county – called “climate defenders.” She met with colleagues in the environmental industry, and she arranged meet-and-greets between elected officials and volunteers. In between, she continued to put the finishing touches on the upcoming “Chester County 100% Renewable Energy Expo & Discussion,” which will be held March 30 at West Whiteland Township in Exton, and co-hosted by PennEnvironment and the Sierra Club of Chester County. For Cadorette, who has been with the PennEnvironment for the past two years, it's a job marked by miles, advocacy and patience – from Oxford to Nottingham, from Kennett Square to East and West Whiteland townships, and from restaurants to community fairs to information table shows, all in an effort to ratchet up citizens' voices in support of science and the need for expediency, she said. “During these two years, I've been able to cultivate this incredible network of people who have worked for the transition away from dirty fossil fuel to 100 percent renewable energy,” she said. “That is our main focus, because the science is clear. In the face of the federal inaction we've seen on climate control and the rolling back the critical protections, we have to mitigate the problem. We're mobilizing efforts to push our county commissioners, our state representatives and our senators to support policies that help our communities move toward renewable energy.” Since its beginning 15 years ago, PennEnvironment, one of 29 state-based environmental organizations linked to Environment America, is a people-powered environmental advocacy organization, whose climate defenders and supporters canvas the state raising awareness of environmental issues and promoting sensible solutions. They write letters to newspaper editors and meet with reporters; visit neighborhoods; write op-ed pieces; hold news conferences; distribute scientific evidence of climate change; recruit new supporters and activists; attend rallies and stuff envelopes; and secure funding to keep the mission going. Last summer, the organization sponsored a well-attended clean energy consortium at

West Chester University. Locally, PennEnvironment has met with State Sen. Andrew Dinniman; Reps. Christina Sappey, Carolyn Comitta and Melissa Shusterman; U.S. Rep. Chrissy Houlahan; the Chester County Planning Commission; and the Chester County Commissioners Terence Farrell, Michelle Kichline and Kathi Cozzone. PennEnviroment is also working with the Commissioners to enact a grant program, in order to incorporate renewable energy projects within municipalities around the county. “The county doesn't run the energy grid, so they see renewable energy as something they may not have much authority on, but we're in the camp of helping them provide resources, and be an advocate for renewable energy,” Cadorette said. Lately, however, these county-wide strides are being made against the backdrop of voices who continue to deny that climate change exists. Heading the opposition is President Trump, who has publicly stated that he does not believe that climate change exists, despite his own administration's release of the Fourth National Climate Assessment, released in Nov. 2017, that detailed the conclusions of more than 300 scientists who believe that the planet is getting warmer, human activity is contributing to that warming, and stated that climate change threatens “the health and well-being of the American people.” The report also put the evidence of climate change on a time clock, stating that changes will become more pronounced by the middle of the century, and that by the end of the century, the environment will become increasingly vulnerable. Despite the facts and figures outlined in the report, the Trump administration's rollback of a wide variety of environmental regulations has been staggering. The Environmental Integrity Project cites the administration for targeting almost 80 environmental rules to control greenhouse gas emissions, coal ash waste, and water and air pollution. Moreover, Trump’s “Presidential Executive Order on Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth” directs that “the heads of agencies shall review all existing regulations that potentially burden the development or

use of domestically produced energy resources, with particular attention to oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear energy resources.” While the battle over the environment rages on in Washington and in the national conversation, Cadorette said that close to home, speaking with climate change deniers is a routine component of her job, but it's never one that leads to argument. Rather, it's an excuse to have a conversation that hears both sides of an issue, she said. “It's about finding common ground,” she said. “Many times, it's finding the same denominator in the equation, such as approaching it from the standpoint of climate change on future generations. We are a non-partisan environmental organization, and we're fighting for the environment.” Chester County has already climbed on board the renewable energy train. On March 19, Schuylkill Township became the seventh county municipality to sign a resolution that commits the township to providing 100 percent renewable energy by 2050. The initiative is at the root of a concept called “Ready for 100” that is being launched by the Sierra Club -- and supported by PennEnvironment -- to encourage local and township officials to announce a long-term ambitious 100 percent clean energy goals in their jurisdictions, by enacting measurable goals and plans. The Southeastern Pennsylvania Group (SPG), part of the Pennsylvania Chapter of the Sierra Club, is focused on the environmental issues facing the greater Philadelphia area. Sierra Club volunteers from Philadelphia, Delaware, Chester, Montgomery and Bucks counties are working together to maintain, improve and protect the natural resources of the area. While achieving 100 percent renewable energy from township to township by 2050 is a lofty goal, Cadorette lifted her cell phone and her laptop computer from the restaurant table. “Were either of these here 30 years ago, in their current forms?” she asked. “This is the crisis of our time. Obviously, all of us are concerned about discrimination, immigration and healthcare to name just a few issues, but if we don't have a planet, we cannot

continue to fight these other issues, not to mention that climate change will greatly affect marginalized groups in the coming decades.” She pointed to recent polls that said seven out of 10 people support transitioning to renewable energy sources. “Sure, there are people

who will continue to deny the science, but it is wildly uplifting to watch this movement become mainstream, when a decade ago, no one was thinking that 100 percent was feasible, at all,” Cadorette said. “We have the technology. We have the people behind it. We just need the political

will, and that's where we come in, to pressure the legislators to enact sound, environmental legislation, so eventually, the outliers will become a part of the past.” To contact Staff Writer Richard L. Gaw, email rgaw@chestercounty.com.

“The property continues to grow more unsightly every day,” Davies continued, mentioning the difficulty a homeowner in the development would have in selling his/her home, and the site’s potential effect on property values in Hillingham. “They need to remove the trash, the broken glass, the timber, the rats, the fish tanks filled with dirty water, and barrels filled with who knows what. “The township needs to step in… and clean up this unsightly, unhealthy junkyard. The residents of Hillingham have been forced to live with this for far too long, and it needs to be cleaned up, now.” Davies said that despite the township’s efforts to force the business owners to clean up their site, it was merely a “token effort” that she said didn’t help much. “It does wonder us that given the fact the township was aware of the condition of this property, that no attempt was made to take the necessary action to remediate the problem before it became so much worse. Doesn’t any one of the township’s officials care enough about Kennett Township to fix up this problem? Is this how you want our township to be viewed?” The residents have signed a petition requesting that the township take immediate action, in accordance with township codes regarding property maintenance. Davies also pointed to a

major fire and explosion – caused by tanks stored on the property – that took place in November of 2012. “Hillingham homes were rocked by this explosion, even to the point where pictures fell off our walls. At one point, it looked like the fire was going to jump into our development,” she said. Board Chairman Scudder Stevens said that the township’s concern about the Stephens business extends farther back than the 2012 fire there – “a long-term concern,” he said. “We try to enforce the rules. If they show us that they are attempting to meet what we demand, we’re obligated to back off and give them time to finish what they’re doing. We’ve given them too much time, but unlike you, it’s not in our backyard the way it is in yours. We’re not reminded in the same way as to the seriousness of it, but I assure you that it is a very grave concern, and you’ve made it very clear that we need to escalate our concern.” The protest may have forced the township to reinvestigate the problem, but at the same time, it steps into formation in a long line of efforts the township has made to get the company to clean up its mess to the township’s satisfaction. Echoing the content of a recent meeting she and township building inspector Rich Hicks had with Hillingham Home Ownership Association President Marilyn Monahan, Township Manager Lisa Moore gave an overview of the township’s history with

Stephens, which has included issuing several fines and citation letters. “They did start to clean up the property, not to anyone’s satisfaction, but in the court’s eyes, they were making an attempt [to clean the property], so they were permitted to continue,” Moore said. Moore said that Hicks did meet with Stephens group, who told him that they would continue to move items off site once the weather improved, but that Hicks has not been able to reach the company representatives in recent weeks. Moore said that she will meet with Hicks to explore possible enforcement measures the township has. “We can tell them to clean it up – we can cite them – but unfortunately with all of the liens on the property, we’re not sure that it will make an impact with them, but we’ll continue to see what we can do,” she said. Supervisor Whitney Hoffman, who lives in a development nearby the site, said that she sees the debris from her office and kitchen windows. She supported Moore’s recommendation that the township involve the continued efforts of its building and codes inspector. One Hillingham resident suggested that the township elevate the seriousness of the problem by taking their grievance to the Chester County court system. “If the board of supervisors took it to the West Chester Court, they can not only fine them, but they can hold them in contempt of court, which threatens

jail,” she said. “That might be something to consider as a plan if you can’t get them to clean it up quickly. Our concern is that while you wrestle with what the next steps are, the next steps can’t be to see what’s going to happen during the next steps.” Moore said she will also speak with Township Solicitor David Sander, to see what legal actions the township can take under its maintenance code. While the township convenes to decide their next course of action, the unsightly and inconvenient problem at 257 Kennett Pike remains, and it’s also for sale. First constructed in 1950, the property is currently on the market for $779,900. It’s being publicly sold, and is advertised as a nursery, greenhouse and florist (retail, wholesale) that features a 2.3-acre lot and 3,112 square feet of living space. “Everyone who signed

the petition and those who are here tonight are asking that the supervisors put their nose to the grindstone and get something done,” Monahan said. “Not every two weeks, not every month, but a constant effort. You may have done that, but it’s not apparent from this. It’s been ten years, and it’s been a nightmare for ten years.” In other township news, the township received a third-place award from the Pennsylvania Association of Township Supervisors

for outstanding efforts and achievement in citizen connect, in the category of websites. The township will hold a drug take-back event at the Township Building on April 27, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The board adopted a resolution to endorse Chester County's Landscapes3 Plan, which was adopted in November 2018.

Kennett Township gets Young drivers get safety tips at Oxford Area High School ‘Audubon Bird Town’ distinction By John Chambless Staff Writer More than 100 students in Oxford crashed their cars on March 22, but no one got hurt. That’s the idea behind the Pennsylvania DUI Safety Simulator, a driving game that’s housed in a large trailer. Oxford Area High School hosted the traveling facility last week to give students – some of whom have taken driver’s education, and some of whom have never been behind the wheel – some idea of what it’s like to face hazards on the road. Sitting in the back of the trailer, controlling the on-screen action, was Mike Martin, who can toss in hazards from his computer database at any point, or simulate the sluggish steering wheel response of a DUI driver, or change the time of day or weather conditions on the three large screens that surround the students. But he takes it easy on the most nervous drivers, coaching them through fastening their seatbelt, turning the key and not putting both feet on the gas and brake pedals at the same time. With an audience of 20 to 25 other students offering advice – or commentary – each student drove the game out onto the simulated road, facing police cars pulled to the side of the highway, or oncoming drivers, or animals crossing in front of them, or simply the challenge of keeping the car on the road.

A student driver takes his turn behind the wheel on March 22 at Oxford Area High School.

One girl got the car up to 112 miles an hour without realizing it before she crashed. Another drove off the road and hit a deer. Another had a shattering, head-on crash with an oncoming car. But the lessons being taught -- whether the students had begun driver’s education classes or were first-time drivers – will hopefully stick. Chuck Weed, a State Farm Insurance agent based in Oxford, introduced the simulator to each group of students, offering a stuffed bear to the driver who was judged the best by their peers. Weed and State Farm pay the fee to have the simulator schools each year since 2003. “Some of the kids last four

or five minutes,” he said of the simulator, “and others last 10 to 15 seconds, but the idea is to plant the seed in their minds to think about safety when they’re behind the wheel. It’s part of how State Farm gives back to the community.” According to the company, car crashes are the leading cause of death among teens in America, and inexperience is often a factor in making one fatal mistake behind the wheel. Taking a turn in the simulator, Weed said, “is one lesson that all the kids can grasp.” To contact Staff Writer John Chambless, email jchambless@chestercounty. com.

Pictured with Altadonna are (from left): Michael Guttman, the township’s Sustainable Development Office director; township manager Lisa Moore; and supervisors Dr. Richard Leff, Scudder Stevens and Whitney Hoffman.

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer Kennett Township has joined 20 other municipalities in Pennsylvania in becoming an “Audubon Bird Town,” in recognition of its many efforts in providing proper land stewardship. The township Board of Supervisors was awarded the distinction by Leigh Altadonna, a board member with Audubon Pennsylvania, prior to the board’s March 20 meeting. He presented the board with street signs proclaiming the township as an official “Audubon Bird Town” that will be installed

on major roadways that enter the township. The Audubon initiative dovetails with the work of the township’s Sustainable Development Office, its community-based Land Stewardship Program and its affiliation with several conservation groups, among them The Land Conservancy of Southern Chester County (TLC). Audubon will continue to work with the township and the TLC to highlight the township’s ecological resources, and will provide outreach and education to property owners through events and workshops. The programs will

increase awareness of the value of birds in the township, and help to maintain and improve the habitats that attract birds and butterflies, while also providing other benefits, such as improving water quality and slowing storm runoff. “We look forward to working with you, conducting these workshops, and trying to get more folks committed to converting their gardens to a majority of native plants,” Altadonna said.

Kennett School Board selects architect for building upgrades By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer The selection of an architect for building upgrades, the adoption of a school calendar for the next year, and the approval of summer school programs topped a full agenda for the Kennett School Board during the March 11 meeting. The Kennett School Board approved retaining the services of Marotta/Main Architects of Lancaster, Pa. to provide architectural and engineering professional services for vestibule and face renovations as outlined in the Facilities Long-Range Plan presented at the Feb. 4 meeting of the district’s Finance Committee. Mark Tracy, the assistant to the superintendent for business affairs, explained that the school district is undertaking renovation work to enhance the vestibule areas for each of the district’s school buildings as a way to enhance security. The district is planning this work for all the schools in the district except for Bancroft Elementary, the district’s newest school building, which does not need the design upgrades. The school board also approved the replacement of the rooftop HVAC units at the Mary D. Lang Kindergarten Center. The good work of students in the Kennett Consolidated School District were highlighted at several different points during the meeting. The high school robotics team is once again having a highly successful season, and could soon qualify for the district championships at Lehigh University. Demon Robotics has qualified for

district championships six times in eight years, and a strong showing at the district championships could earn the team a spot in the world championships later this year. More than three hundred students at Kennett High School took part in the Mini-Thon event in February. The event, which is modeled after Penn State’s highly successful dance marathon, raised approximately $42,000 for the Four Diamonds Fund to benefit pediatric cancer research and families whose children are battling the disease. School board members were elated that the event continues to be such a success for a worthy cause. Superintendent Dr. Barry Tomasetti outlined some of the programming for this year’s Summer School. “We have a lot going on in the summer,” Tomasetti explained. A STEM camp will be offered to rising sixth graders who are interested in exploring automation and design. This project-based camp will take place from July 8 to 11 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. There is a $150 cost to attend the camp, which will be held at the Kennett Middle School. A coding camp that offers students the opportunity to receive an introduction to coding concepts will take place from July 15 to 18. This camp is for rising third through eighth graders. It will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. for rising third through fifth graders, and noon until 3 p.m. for rising sixth through eighth graders.

for the program. Tomasetti pointed out that the school district set the costs for the various summer school programs at a rate that is sufficient only to cover what it costs the school district to provide the programming. The summer school offerings are intended to be revenue neutral. Parents are responsible for providing transportation for all summer school programs. Financial assistance will be provided to those students who demonstrate need. There are also summer academies for elementary and middle school students. The elementary summer academy is a five-week mathematics program funded through Title 1 and local funds. This summer academy runs three hours a day, Monday through Thursday, from July 8 through Aug. 8. Students must meet eligibility requirements and transportation is provided to and from the program. The middle school Summer Academy is a five-week literacy and mathematics program for students entering the sixth grade that meet the eligibility requirements. It runs three hours a day from July 8 through Aug. 8. Tomasetti said that these summer academies have proven to be very popular with students since the school district started offering them. The Kennett School Board will meet again on Monday, April 8 at 7 p.m. at the Mary D. Lang Kindergarten Center. To contact Staff Writer Steven Hoffman, email editor @ chestercounty .com.

Afternoon with the Author features Mariah Stewart By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer Mariah Stewart, the New York Times bestselling romance author of The Chesapeake Diaries series, will be celebrating the release of her latest book with an Afternoon with the Author event at the Hockessin Book Shelf on March 31. The Q & A and book signing will take place from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Stewart, who lives in southern Chester County, will be discussing “The Goodbye Café,” which is the third book in the Hudson Sisters series. The series follows a trio of reluctant sisters who set out to fulfill their father’s dying wish and discover a lot about themselves in the process. In “The Goodbye Cafe,” California girl Allie Hudson Monroe can’t wait for the day when the renovations on the Sugarhouse Theater are complete so she can finally collect the inheritance from her father and leave Pennsylvania. Her life and her fourteenyear-old daughter are in Los Angeles. But Allie’s divorce left her tottering on the edge of bankruptcy, so to keep up on payments for her house and her daughter’s private school tuition, Allie packed up and flew east. But fate has a curve-ball or two to toss in Allie’s direction—she just

doesn’t know it yet. She hadn’t anticipated how her life would change after reuniting with her estranged sister, Des, or meeting h e r previously u n k n ow n half-sister, C a r a . And she’d cer tainly n e v e r Mariah expected to Stewart find smalltown living charming. But the biggest surprise was that her long-forgotten artistry would save the day when the theater’s renovation fund dried up. Stewart published her first book in 1995, and she has steadily been building her following ever since. She has written and published more than 40 novels and novellas during her career, focusing on romantic suspense novels, contemporary romances, and women’s fiction. She’s currently juggling not one, but two, different book series. The Hockessin Book Shelf is located at 7179 Lancaster Pike in Hockessin.

Editorial

Collaboration and communication will be key in discussions about fire, EMS services This page has lauded Kennett Square Mayor Matt Fetick’s work as a public servant a number of times through the years. Fetick’s positive contribution to the community was most recently illustrated by the public forum that he helped organize regarding EMS services. Earlier this month, Dylan Ferguson, the director of the Pennsylvania Department of Health, Emergency, and Medical Services, was the featured guest speaker during a presentation in which he explained how EMS services are delivered in Pennsylvania. Ferguson also talked about potential changes and challenges to the delivery systems in the future. EMS and fire services have been hot topics of discussion in Kennett Square for more than a year because a committee comprised of representatives from Kennett Square and five surrounding municipalities (Kennett Township, East Marlborough Township, Newlin Township, Pennsbury Township and Pocopson Township) has been studying fire and EMS services in the region. This regional effort is intended to ensure that fire and EMS services are being delivered as effectively and efficiently as possible. Fetick, who has experience in his background as both a police officer and an EMT, set a productive tone for the public meeting when he stated that the goal for the evening was simply to provide useful information about EMS services in general, and not a deep dive into how EMS services should be provided in the Kennett Square region. Ferguson provided an orderly, easy-to-understand overview about EMS services across the state. There are certainly a lot of challenges surrounding EMS services, and the challenges that Kennett Square is facing in this area certainly aren’t unique. An aging population increases the number of calls that local ambulance divisions are being asked to respond to. Generally, EMS providers are seeing a 7 percent increase in call volumes. The opioid epidemic further places demands on the system. When call volumes increase, there is a point where the staffing for ambulance divisions needs to increase as well, to ensure a prompt response to an emergency. If one ambulance is out on the road responding to emergencies too frequently, a second ambulance might be necessary. It costs money to buy the equipment and to staff the vehicles. Most ambulance divisions rely heavily on volunteers—this is true of fire companies, too. But the number of volunteers has decreased dramatically in the last few decades. Ferguson outlined a number of societal changes that have resulted in fewer volunteers. Again, the Kennett Square region is not alone on this. The training requirements that first responders must adhere to have increased greatly—which is a good thing, but it also increases costs for fire and ambulance divisions, and places an even greater burden on the volunteers. As demand for fire and EMS services increases, and the number of volunteers decrease, the costs of operating fire and ambulance divisions explode because more professional staffing is utilized. That translates into higher costs for municipalities. Billing for EMS services is another major issue, with legislative actions by state lawmakers needed to ensure equitable reimbursements for EMS agencies and fair costs for citizens. It’s easy to understand why discussions about fire and EMS services can be filled with emotion. When a person picks up the telephone to dial 911, all that matters is a fast response by people who can provide the care and treatment needed. Sometimes, lives hang in the balance. And even if it’s not a life-or-death situation, a prompt response is vitally important. As Ferguson explained, it’s all about getting the right care to the right person at the right time. But there are also cost considerations that have to be factored in because fire and EMS services, while important, are not the only services that matter. Each fire and ambulance division must operate in such a way that, financially, they can continue to provide their services to the community. During his presentation, Ferguson outlined the elements of a viable EMS system. This is of particular interest for residents in the Kennett Square region because decisions about how to maintain viable EMS divisions (and fire companies) are looming. In the coming months, there will be conversations taking place in the Kennett Square region about the level of fire and EMS services that are needed, and what the community can afford. The presentation by Ferguson provided some valuable information for officials and residents to consider. Ultimately, it will be up to the Kennett Square community to determine how its fire and EMS needs will be met. If conversations about fire and EMS services can be approached in a thoughtful and collaborative way, it will help produce better decisions in the long run.

Opinion Point in Time count report finds lower number of people experiencing homelessness in Chester County 2019 official count reveals 24 percent drop in homeless numbers over past four years A report compiled by the Chester County Department of Community Development (DCD) and the Decade to Doorways partnership has found that 517 people were identified as experiencing homelessness in Chester County in the early hours of Jan. 24, 2019. This represents a decrease of 24 percent over four years in the number of people experiencing homelessness. A summary of the findings were reported by Pat Bokovitz, Director of the Chester County Department of Community Development at the Chester County Commissioners’ Sunshine Meeting this week. Full details of the report will be presented at the County’s Decade to Doorways Partnership event scheduled for Tuesday, April 2, 2019, from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Uptown! Knauer Performing Arts Center, 226 N. High Street in West Chester. The Point in Time Count is a national effort mandated by the United States Department of Housing and Urban

Development to determine the number of people experiencing homelessness. This includes individuals and families who are residing in emergency shelters and transitional living facilities, as well as unsheltered individuals on the street or in places not meant for sleeping. Within Chester County, the Point in Time Count is one component of understanding homelessness, and is part of Decade to Doorways: The Community’s Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness in Chester County. The County has participated in the Pointin-Time Count for more than ten years. Of the 517 individuals experiencing homelessness on the evening of Jan. 24, 497 men, women, and children were housed in emergency or transitional shelters. Of the 497 that were housed, 201 were veterans. The street count found 20 individuals who were unsheltered (sleeping in cars, tents or places not meant for human habitation). A majority of these individuals were found

in Kennett Square. Chester County’s 2019 Point in Time Count shows a decrease in those experiencing homelessness for four consecutive years. In 2016, 682 individuals were counted; in 2017 the number was 570; and in 2018 the number dropped to 555. Pat Bokovitz, Director of Chester County’s Department of Community Development, said, “The downward trend that Chester County is seeing for those who are experiencing homelessness can be attributed to a combination of factors, all coming together because of the Decade to Doorways initiative. “We are bringing together the work of our coordinated homeless service providers, the increase in permanent supportive housing resources, and the targeting of resources to support the most vulnerable. These efforts are bringing us even closer to Chester County’s goal of ending homelessness.” In addition to the presentation of this year’s Point

in Time Count Report findings, the April 2nd Decade to Doorways event will kick-off the program’s public awareness campaign. With the mission to end homelessness in Chester County by 2022, Commissioners Michelle Kichline, Kathi Cozzone and Terence Farrell will provide an inspiring update on Decade to Doorways’ collective accomplishments. The public is encouraged to attend the event at Uptown! Knauer Performing Arts Center, 226 N. High Street in West Chester. Doors open at 4:30 p.m. and the presentation begins at 5:30 p.m. For additional information on Chester County’s 2019 Point in Time Count, the Decade to Doorways Partnership and homelessness in Chester County, contact Gene Suski, Community Services Manager for the Chester County Department of Community Development at 610-344-6900, or go to the Decade to Doorways website at www.decadetodoorways.org.

Killion supports Senate Bill stripping public pensions for felonies A measure that would strip taxpayer-funded pensions from public employees who commit job-related felonies received final approval in the Senate recently, according to Senator Tom Killion (R-9) who strongly supports the measure. Senate Bill 113 was approved by the Senate on Feb. 4, and was returned to the chamber for consideration after the House of Representatives made a technical amendment. It now goes to the governor for

enactment. The measure closes the “Mellow Loophole,” named after former State Senator Bob Mellow of Lackawanna County, who in 2017 had his $245,000-a-year pension restored despite pleading guilty and being sent to prison on federal conspiracy charges. The Public Employee Pension Forfeiture Act currently requires a public employee to forfeit his or her pension only for certain crimes listed in the act. In

practice, this law allows lawmakers and other public employees charged with a forfeiture crime to plead guilty to a different nonforfeiture crime in order to avoid pension forfeiture. Senate Bill 113 would require pension forfeiture if a public employee or public official is convicted, pleads guilty, or pleads no contest to any felony offense related to his or her employment. The legislation also ensures that criminal convictions involving public officials

are reported to state pension boards. Current law does not require the employee, courts, or state agencies to send copies of court records upon conviction. Instead, pension boards learn of pension forfeiture cases through agency websites and newspaper articles. Under Senate Bill 113, courts would now be required to notify state pension systems of all pension forfeiture cases. Senate Bill 113 will be sent to the House of Representatives for consideration.

Dinniman announces $725,000 for three county transportation projects State Sen. Andy Dinniman announced today that $725,000 in total state funding was approved for three major multimodal transportation projects in Chester County. “Transportation is both how we move and how we keep our economy moving forward,” Dinniman said. “These funds will support much-needed upgrades, like streetscapes improvements associated with new residential and commercial development, renovations and expansions to a regional airport, and a traffic signal at a well-travel thoroughfare in southern Chester County.” The funds, which were approved by the

Commonwealth Finance Authority today, are as follows: • $352,647 for GMH East Whiteland Holdings, LLC for Lancaster Avenue streetscape improvements in East Whiteland Township. The project will consist of the construction of a new 415-foot travel lane along Lancaster Ave., relocation of utility poles, restriping of a turn lane, retiming of traffic signals, construction of new sidewalk and ADA ramps, construction of a new bike lane, and the installation of streetscape amenities. The project site is located at the front of a proposed 215-unit apartment building to be constructed by GMH.

Truckers Against Trafficking featured at anti-human trafficking event Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT) will be the topic of the April 4 meeting of ACE (Advocating, Collaborating, Educating) Anti-Human Trafficking Alliance of Oxford. A video will be shown to educate the community about the accomplishments of truckers nationwide against Modern Day Slavery. The viewing of the video will begin at 6:30 pm at the Oxford Public Library, 48 S. Second St., Oxford. Questions may be directed to 610-932-0337.

• $262,208 for the Chester County Airport Authority for an expansion and renovation of the Chester County G.O. Carlson Airport terminal building in Valley Township. The existing terminal will be expanded, adding 5,150 sq. ft. of new office space for the fixed base operator. Once the new construction is complete, extensive renovations will take place on the existing structure, which will continue to house the airport restaurant and other offices. In addition, the parking lot will be extended to include 165 more parking spaces and a new pedestrian walkway that will connect it with the newly expanded terminal entrance. The

significant improvements and upgrades will better accommodate both flight operations and public needs. • $110,145 for New London Township for the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Newark Road, Oxford Road, and Olympia Avenue. This intersection as identified for signalization following the completion of a multimunicipal study. In addition, this intersection is just north of the West Grove Volunteer Fire Company and the traffic signal will be installed with an optical preemption device, which manipulates traffic signals for emergency vehicles for priority access through intersections.

explained. He noted that the expansion of the building that is being planned would all be set on land that is already classified as impervious surfaces, so the impact to the site would be minimal. Hillard said that the expansion is not expected to result in increased vehicles to the site. There should not be any increase in sewer usage or water usage, either. The plans have been submitted and are under review by the borough’s planning commission. Hillard said that they would like construction to begin in a few months. After more than 12 years of work, Oxford Borough Council formally adopted

an updated police manual. The approval is pending the approval of the borough’s solicitor because there are some minor changes that still need to be made to clean up typos and the like. “We’ve looked at it, looked at it, looked at it, and looked at it,” said borough council president Sue Lombardi. Much of the content for the police manual is pulled from guidelines at the federal and state level, but it was an exhaustive process collecting all the information and compiling it in one police manual. Oxford Borough Mayor Lorraine Bell lauded police chief Sam Iacono, who just joined the borough’s police department last fall, for finishing up the project. Bell said that he spent a few hours each day for several months reviewing the

comprehensive document. Brian Wenzka, the executive director of Oxford Mainstreet, Inc. (OMI), offered a brief overview of some of the special events that the organization is planning for 2019, including the normal lineup of First Friday activities and larger community events like the Connective Festival and the Downtown Oxford Car Show. Wenzka said that, after some requests from downtown businesses, OMI could be adding a “pop up” First Friday event to the calendar in April. OMI had not planned a First Friday for April because of the unpredictably of the weather in early April. However, if the weather looks good they will put together some special activities for April 5, the first Friday in April. Wenzka said that one new activity that is being added to the calendar is a benefit motorcycle ride that will take place at the end of April. During the event, motorcycle riders will visit covered bridges in the area. Wenzka then introduced Bruce Mowday and Allie King, two volunteers who are once again helping to organize

and plan the Connective Festival. Mowday and King provided borough council with some exciting updates about this year’s Connective Festival, which is slated to take place on Saturday, Aug. 3. The radio station WXPN has endorsed the Connective Festival. King also said that many of the sponsors who helped make last year’s debut event a success really saw it as a worthwhile endeavor. Many of the sponsors are returning and asking how they can be even more involved, King said. Mark Gallant, a member of the Chester County Planning Commission, provided an update about important planning issues in the Oxford region, as well as a brief overview of Landscapes3, the recently updated version of the county’s comprehensive plan. Gallant explained that he has served as a lead planner facilitating a multi-municipal group that has been meeting regularly since 2008. The Oxford Region Planning Committee brought together representatives from Oxford Borough, Lower Oxford Township, Upper Oxford Township, Elk Township,

Oxford Borough plans to revitalize Memorial Day Parade When Memorial Day arrives on Monday, May 27, a bigger, better parade to honor the service of U.S. military veterans will take place in Oxford. Oxford Borough Mayor Lorraine Bell said that efforts to revitalize the parade are well underway. She explained that numerous groups in the community have been contacted to participate. This year’s Memorial Day Parade in Oxford is set to start at 10 a.m. on Monday, May 27. “The revitalization plan for the parade is well underway,” Bell said. “We’re going to make it bigger and better for Oxford.” Any group interested in participating in the parade can reach out to Mayor Bell at mayor@oxford boro. org. East Nottingham Township, and West Nottingham Township. The Oxford Region Planning Committee spent five years developing a multimunicipal comprehensive plan that significantly boosted the amount of collaboration that takes place in the Oxford region on planning issues. The multimunicipal comprehensive plan was finalized in 2012. Initially, five of the six municipalities adopted an implementation plan. East Nottingham Township eventually adopted the implementation plan as

well. Even though work on the regional comprehensive plan has been completed, Gallant explained that the Oxford Region Planning Committee still meets regularly to discuss issues that impact the whole area. Some of those issues are related to planning, but others are not. Sometimes, Gallant said, they bring in guest speakers to present information about a topic of interest.

Franklin supervisors hear details of ambitious bridge project By John Chambless Staff Writer On March 20, the Franklin Township Board of Supervisors heard details about what board chairman John Auerbach called the most ambitious Eagle Scout project in township history. Ethan Shovlin, from Troop 10 in West Grove, presented his plan to build a bridge to connect the Keen Trail to the Wyndemere open space. The public trail is not just for Wyndemere residents. Board members discussed having Shoylin’s volunteers build ramps on an already existing bridge on the trail. The board authorized funding this project up to $3,500. Auerbach asked Ethan to confirm that his Scout Master is on board with his plan before proceeding with the project. The board heard about three zoning issues in the township: 1620 New London Road will be resubmitting a conditional use application to allow utility trucks on the property; 206 Fox Run Road has been sold, and the abandoned house was demolished; 3327 Appleton Road’s owner and the township went before the Court of Common Pleas

on March 12, and no decision has been rendered. The District Court Judge continued the case until the Court of Common Pleas Judge makes a ruling. The entire report can be reviewed on the Township website (www. franklintownship.us). By a unanimous 5-0 vote, the board adopted a resolution issuing a hunting license to the Franklin Sportsman’s Association for the 2019-2020 hunting season. Lisa Zawada, a volunteer representative for the township on the Avon Grove Library Board, introduced herself to the board at the meeting. The library board position had long been vacant. Zawada works in the library at the Penn London Elementary School, and is enthusiastic in her support of the Avon Grove Library, noting that the library is an important community resource. There is a silent auction fundraiser going on there through March 31. The supervisors thanked Zawada for volunteering. The board discussed the pending MS4 permit, the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer system permit that the township is required to

submit to the Department of Environmental Protection. The permit cycles are scheduled every five years. The last permit application the township submitted was rejected by the DEP, as were the applications of many other municipalities. An extension to the permit submission was granted to June 15, 2019. After a long discussion, the engineers now have a path forward on how to revise the permit application. The revised application will come before the Board of Supervisors at their April meeting, with the goal to advertise it for 30 days for adoption at the June 19, 2019 meeting. The township will be four days late for the DEP deadline. The Franklin Township cleanup is scheduled for Saturday, April 13 from 8 a.m. to noon, with a rain date of April 14 from 9 a.m. to noon. The township contractor has donated use of his pickup truck again this year. Interested neighborhoods or individuals can contact the township office for trash bags, gloves and safety glasses.

Tackling vaping, head-on

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27, 2019

As part of Kick Butts Day, Hopewell Elementary School tries to stem the epidemic By John Chambless Staff Writer As part of a week-long effort to confront the rapidly expanding use of e-cigarettes, students at Hopewell Elementary School in Oxford heard all the facts, and capped the week with an assembly run by the Chester County Health Department that showed sixth-graders how addictive vaping is. Lindsay Smith presented a program that avoided scare tactics but just laid out the facts about vaping, which is being marketed as a safer alternative to smoking cigarettes. Before the program, Smith said that schools countywide have been asking for the Health Department’s vaping program, after 2017 surveys indicated that 2 percent of the sixth graders in the county had vaped, and that 82 percent of them did not know what was in the product they had used. The Health Department is working with schools and school nurses, who are sometimes the first to see young students with vaping-related sore throats, coughing or other persistent symptoms. Smith pointed out in her program how the packaging for Juul and other “nicotine delivery systems” used bright colors and fruity or candy flavors to appeal to younger users. “Do you think the companies do that on purpose?” she asked the

students. For Erika Seaman, a physical education and health teacher at Hopewell Elementary, smoking is the enemy of young lives, and the makers of e-cigarettes are playing dirty to get their product into the hands of young people. On March 20, which was Kick Butts Day, sponsored by the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, Seaman was taking groups of students to the school track to run or walk a lap or two, reinforcing the appeal of exercise and healthier living. As the parent of sixthgraders, Seaman feels the encroaching pressure from e-cigarettes, particularly the craze of the moment, Juul. The company has taken over more than a quarter of the vaping market in the past year. Juul Labs makes the Juul e-cigarette that uses nicotine salts that exist in leaf-based tobacco for its key ingredient. The company faced a backlash after it flavored its products to taste like mango, fruit and crème to appeal to first-time users, particularly young people. They have since halted some of the flavors in stores, but continue to sell them online. They do continue to market mint, which is the most popular flavor with young people. While those under 18 are prohibited by law from

purchasing cigarettes and e-cigarettes in Pennsylvania stores, the product is available online to anyone with money who lies about their age. Seaman organized the week of activities at Hopewell Elementary, using ongoing classroom messages about avoiding smoking, getting healthy exercise, and finally the program that attacked e-cigarettes head-on. A large part of the problem is that parents are not aware of what Juul looks like, Seaman said. “They look like flash drives,” she said. “A parent who noticed one of them in their child’s backpack would think it was a flash drive and not suspect anything.” The Juul e-cigarettes are “a huge trend among middle schoolers and high schoolers,” Seaman said. “What we’re trying to do is head off student use in middle school. Our health classes have talked about vaping and the health consequences, and how to deal with relatives who may already smoke. It’s about trying to grow awareness.” According to The Truth Initiative, a national antismoking organization, the use of e-cigarettes, now the most popular tobacco product among teens, has jumped 78 percent among high school students compared with 2017, with 20.8 percent (more than 3 million) of high schoolers now using e-cigarettes,

according to new FDA data. In Pennsylvania, 11.3 percent of high school students use e-cigarettes, while 8.7 percent smoke cigarettes. The data also show that more than half of those high schoolers — 51.2 percent — use menthol- or mint-flavored e-cigarettes. Unlike the odor of cigarettes or marijuana, there is no residual smell when a young person vapes, aside from a slight mint or sweet odor given off in the vapor. Parents are likely to not notice that their child has been vaping. Flavors also contribute to many youth e-cigarette users incorrectly believing they aren’t consuming nicotine when they vape.

The majority of youth e-cigarette users think they vaped only flavoring, not nicotine, the last time they used a product, according to an annual national survey of more than 40,000 students from the University of Michigan 2016 Monitoring the Future study, despite the fact that 99 percent of e-cigarettes sold in most brick-and-mortar stores contain nicotine. According to the Juul website, the device delivers nicotine up to 2.7 times faster than other e-cigarettes. Nicotine is harmful to developing brains: younger users are more likely to become addicted, have more difficulty quitting and are at higher risk for addiction to other

substances in the future. Young adults who use e-cigarettes are more than four times as likely to begin smoking cigarettes within 18 months compared with their peers who do not vape “Vaping was originally marketed as a way to help smokers quit smoking,” Seaman said, “but it’s just as addictive as smoking. Vapes are a gateway to smoking later in life.

Local News Tractor Supply benefit funds opportunities for 4-H youth Tractor Supply Company, in partnership with the National 4-H Council, is gearing up for its Spring Paper Clover event, a semi-annual fundraising campaign that provides millions of dollars in scholarships for 4-H youth. Donations from the program provide opportunities for youth to attend enriching camps, conferences and other developmental programs across the country.

From March 27 to April 7, Tractor Supply customers and team members can participate in the Paper Clover fundraiser by purchasing a paper clover for a donation during checkout at stores nationwide, or by making a purchase online at TractorSupply.com. Now in its ninth year, the partnership between Tractor Supply and 4-H has generated more than $12 million in funding. This past fall’s

initiative raised nearly $2 million, impacting more than 14,000 students. “Tractor Supply has an unparalleled partnership with the National 4-H Council, and our biannual Paper Clover program is a true representation of the incredible value 4-H brings to youth, families and communities,” said Christi Korzekwa, senior vice president of marketing at Tractor Supply Company.

“We look forward to this program each year because it allows us to invest in youth who are passionate about impacting the world around them.” Fundraising efforts provide scholarships for numerous state-level 4-H programs nationwide, and every donation benefits youth within the state it was collected. Scholarships are used for camps and leadership conferences, where

attendees learn everything from animal care and woodworking to professional networking practices and civic responsibility. “Thanks to our partnership with Tractor Supply Company, the Paper Clover program exposes youth to the benefits of the 4-H experience, such as hands-on learning, which empowers them to become lifelong leaders,” said Jennifer Sirangelo, presi-

dent and CEO of National 4-H Council. “Nothing brings us greater joy than to support the skills and interests of our 4-H youth throughout their journey to adulthood. The Paper Clover program allows more youth to hone lifelong leadership skills like responsibility, resiliency and hard work.” For more information, visit www.TractorSupply. com/4h.
