Temporarily shuttering the churches hasn’t dampened the faith By Chris Barber Contributing Writer
The coronavirus pandemic may have shuttered the doors and forced the temporary cessation of services and Masses at local churches, but it has not damped their missions of faith and love. “Some people think that pastors are having a vacation, but we’re working harder than we ever did,” File Photo by Chris Barber explained Rev.

Pastor Chris Rogers said one of his members who is nimble with technology was able to produce the service as a livestream. “Five hundred were watching. Hopefully we get more next time.

State lawmakers County Commissioners set new date for extend ‘essential servicesonly’ order to April 13 Primary Election By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer Pennsylvania has joined more than ten other states in postponing their Primary Elections in response to the coronavirus outbreak. The Pennsylvania Primary Election will now take place on Tuesday, June 2, five weeks later than the original date of April 28. The measure passed both the Republican-controlled State House and State Senate on March 25. In the Primary Election, Pennsylvania voters will have a chance to select the nominees for the U.S. presidential race, the races for seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, as well as various State House and State Senate contests. State Senator Tom Killion (R-Chester and Delaware) joined county officials in southeastern
Pennsylvania in calling for the delay of the Primary Election. “COVID-19 is an unprecedented public health crisis,” said Killion. “Delaying our primary date… is the prudent thing to do to protect the health of voters, election workers and the integrity of our democracy.” County Commissioners in Chester, Bucks, and Montgomery counties, the Delaware County Council and Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney all formally requested the primary election be moved, with June 23 suggested as the potential date. Ultimately, the administration of Gov. Tom Wolf and legislative leaders decided on moving the primary to Tuesday, June 2. Wolf and state lawmakers already approved legislation giving every voter the ability to mail in a ballot.

In a further effort to slow the spread of COVID-19 and protect the county’s 2,400 full-and part-time employees and its individual and families, the Chester County Commissioners announced on March 25 that they have extended the county’s ”essential services-only”waiver to April 13. The Commissioners’ decision dovetails with the “Stay at Home” order issued by Pennsylvania Gov. Wolf and State Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine on March 23 to residents in Chester County and several other counties in the state, in an effort to save lives and slow down the spread of COVID-19. The other counties on the list included Allegheny, Bucks, Delaware, Monroe, Montgomery, and Philadelphia. It is the latest layer of protection issued by Chester

County government, who moved to an “essential services-only” order on March 14, in advance of other counties in the region. “The County’s essential services have long been identified in our continuity of operations (COOP) plan, so while making the decision was not an easy one, enacting it was relatively straightforward,”said Chester County Commissioners’ Chair
Marian Moskowitz. “Making that decision has proven to be very prudent. The build-up of prevention measures put in place over the past week by us, by the State and our neighboring counties have been necessary to make every effort to slow the spread of COVID-19. “And although we have put an end-date of April 13 on our plan to return to full Continued on Page 5A

For one thing they are still sharing the Spirit—they are just doing it online. Korengel was particularly enthusiastic about her church’s most recent presentation when Unionville Presbyterian joined Bethany and Doe Run Presbyterian churches in a livestream. Korengel, Yung Me Suh Morris of Bethany and Gabby Kennedy at Doe Run united to spread the Word. “It was neat that there were three women. The people could see us and participate in singing and giving
Historic Kennett Square has pivoted in response to the coronavirus pandemic and is now focusing on helping businesses prepare for a strong restart once normal business activity resumes. “We had to transition quickly,” explained
Bo Wright, the executive director of Historic Kennett Square, who just joined the organization in January. Wright explained that up until recently, the organization’s efforts had been focused primarily on economic development— attracting new businesses to the area and helping others to expand. Now, and for the immediate future,
the emphasis is on providing assistance to the small businesses that have been hit hardest by the cumulative effects of the pandemic. Those small businesses are vital to the Kennett community. “In this uncertain and difficult time, one of the most hopeful things we can do is to make conscious consumer choices that invest in
preserving our community,” Wright explained. “Small businesses and merchants are much more economically vulnerable than big box stores and mega online retailers, but the good news is that together we can make a difference.” Kennett Square has a diverse group of businesses that are led by entrepreneurs and experts
in their fields. They are the ones responsible for the extraordinary variety of small businesses in Kennett Square—including restaurants, shops, galleries, cafes, salons, barbershops, fitness and wellness facilities, breweries, a beer garden, a co-working space, and more. Wright said that it’s Continued on Page 3A

close. Rogers said he produces a video for his flock every day. The pandemic and governmental orders to limit travel and social contact have also prompted a spirit of ecumenism locally and worldwide. In a show of unity, churches both Catholic and Protestant responded to a call for prayers from all Christians on Wednesday, March 25. Pope Francis called on the leaders of all the Christian churches, communities and confessions worldwide, as well Christians everywhere, to join together in praying on March 25 to implore God to rid the world of the coronavirus pandemic that is wreaking havoc everywhere. During a moment in time when people are facing some great needs, the churches have not lost their mission to help with physical, as well as spiritual, needs.

Korengel said she has notified the staff of the Chester County Food Bank that they can store food at the church if needed. The church also has financial help in the form of gift cards for those in need. “I am glad I have such a generous congregation. I had people reach out and ask, ‘How can I help’ Can I make calls or anything?’” she said. With humor and recalling a recent conversation, Korengel said a woman called who said she needed toilet paper because the stores were sold out. “I told her I could give her a gift card,” Korengel said. “She said to me, ‘But you are the [Southern Chester County Chamber of Commerce 2019] Outstanding Citizen’” Korengel said. “I said to her, ‘It didn’t give me a pass to the toilet aisle at Walmart.’” At St. Patrick Church, Rogers said, “We have volunteers who will do food and drug store pickups and we have a good working life-sustaining business closures remain in effect. These orders have been, in effect, the construction of a statewide barrier to the rising number of COVD19 cases in Pennsylvania – and in Chester County. Since the commonwealth confirmed its first case of coronavirus, positive cases have continued to rise.

Rogers said weddings and funerals can still happen with under 10 people, but he’s waiting to find out for sure if even those are allowed. “We had a May wedding
postponed until September. I think the closing of reception halls will also force cancellations,” he said. He added, “We had a funeral that just had the immediate family and was livestreamed to others online.” At a regional level, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia announced that Archbishop Nelson J.

noon on Wednesday, March 18 until further notice. Still, family service centers, part of the Community-Based Services Division of CSS, will continue to provide emergency food and diaper assistance to those in need and as well

system: Stay calm. Stay home. Stay safe.” Under the order, individuals may leave their residence only to perform any of the following allowable individual activities and allowable essential travel: • Tasks essential to maintain health and safety, or the health and safety of their family or household members (including pets), such as obtaining medicine or medical supplies, visiting a health care professional, or obtaining supplies they need to work from home • Getting necessary services or supplies for themselves, for their family or household members, or as part of volunteer efforts, or to deliver those services or supplies to others to maintain the safety, sanitation, and essential operation of residences • Engaging in outdoor activity, such as walking, hiking or running if they maintain social distancing • To perform work providing essential products and services at a life-sustaining business • To care for a family member or pet in another household • Any travel related to the provision of or access to the above-mentioned individual activities or life-sustaining business activities • Travel to care for elderly, minors, dependents, persons with disabilities, or
other vulnerable persons • Travel to or from educational institutions for purposes of receiving materials for distance learning, for receiving meals, and any other related services • Travel to return to a place of residence from an outside jurisdiction • Travel required by law enforcement or court order. • Travel required for nonresidents to return to their place of residence outside the commonwealth The following operations are exempt from the order: Life-sustaining business activities; health care or medical services providers; access to life-sustaining services for low-income residents, including food banks; access to child care services for employees of life-sustaining businesses; news media; law enforcement; the federal government; and religious institutions. Individuals experiencing homelessness are not subject to this order but are strongly urged to find shelter and government agencies are urged to take steps needed to provide shelter for those individuals. International students, foster youth, and any other students who would otherwise experience displacement or homelessness as a result of campus closures are exempt and may remain in campus housing.
During the length of the order, law enforcement will be focused on ensuring that residents are aware of the order and informing the public of social distancing practices rather than enforcement. These latest orders come on the heels of a flourish of other recent statements from Gov. Wolf and Secretary Levine that began to tighten the reigns on individuals and businesses in the state. On March 6, Gov. Wolf issued a Proclamation of Disaster Emergency due to the emergence of COVID-19 in the commonwealth and the U.S. On March 19, Gov. Wolf and Secretary Levine issued orders directing the closure of non-life sustaining businesses. Thy said that the operation of nonlife sustaining businesses present the opportunity for unnecessary gatherings, personal contact and interaction that will increase the risk of transmission and the risk of community spread of COVID-19. Similarly, the newest directive for individuals to stay at home will facilitate the mitigation of COVID-19 by decreasing the opportunities for the transmission of the virus and decrease the risk of community spread.
Less than 1 percent are aged 0-4; Less than 1 percent are aged 5-12; 1 percent are aged 13-18; 10 percent are aged 19-24; 41 percent are aged 25-49; 28 percent are aged 50-64; and 19 percent are aged 65 or older. To date, 33,777 patients in Pennsylvania have tested negative for COVID-19. “I remain deeply concerned about this public health crisis and we must continue to take careful but critical steps now to mitigate the spread of COVID-19,” Gov. Wolf said. “We are issuing these orders because Pennsylvanians’ health and safety remains our highest priority.” “The number of cases continues to grow and so we must take further steps to stop the spread of this contagious and dangerous novel virus to protect the public’s health and mitigate the risk to our hospital system,” Dr. Levine said. “There is one way to make sure people don’t need to be hospitalized and we don’t strain our health care

especially important to remember the power of buying local now. Supporting local businesses will help Kennett Square maintain the unique character and social fabric of the town that so many people find appealing. Many local stores are offering online shopping, curbside pickup, and even free local delivery. Some of the restaurants in town are offering special take-out menus. Another small act that can make a big difference is buying local gift cards—for yourself to use later or to give as gifts. Nick and Melinda Winkler, owners of the new Work2gether co-working space on State Street, have put together a gift card initiative that combines critical
support of businesses with great value for consumers. The gift card initiative is named Kennett Strong, and it enables people to support local businesses at a critical time. Wright said that Historic Kennett Square will also be taking a leading role in is directing small business owners to the resources that they need to get off to a strong restart. Nate Echeverria, the economic development director, will be working closely with business owners to assist them as they navigate through the challenging times by utilizing resources—one illustration being the small business loans that are being made available through federal sources. Wright said that Echeverria has already been in contact with many different business owners in
the area to see how Historic Kennett Square can provide assistance. Wright came to Historic Kennett Square from Strong Towns, a national media and advocacy organization that focuses on how to build strong and resilient communities. After just a few months of working with businesses and community leaders in town, Wright is impressed with the dedication that people have to the town. He explained that it has been heartening to see local residents come together to offer small acts of kindness to each other during the pandemic.

Area Internet data usage continues to increase As area residents are spending more and more time inside during the COVID-19 pandemic, data is being consumed at levels not seen before. Armstrong has seen data usage double in just the past week. Because the company has invested millions of dollars to build high-performance and reliable broadband networks, it now stands ready to meet the needs of consumers, businesses, and anchor institutions to more easily cope with the spread of the virus, affording its customers the ability to stay in contact with their
families and neighbors and engage in telework, distant learning, and telehealth. “Our peak usage used to occur in the evening,” explained Randy Nungester, general manager of the Mason-Dixon system. “What we’re seeing now is that peak time has started to shift a little more toward the mid-day.” Fortunately, Armstrong’s network has been engineered for the future and is handling the increase in traffic. Armstrong teams continue to work around the clock, identifying custom-
er needs and performing preventative network maintenance. “The other thing we’re seeing is much more upstream use,” said Nungester. “We are now seeing more upstream traffic because people are video conferencing. However, it’s still well within the network utilization.” Data allowances for all residential Internet service levels have been suspended for at least the next 60 days as part of Armstrong’s support of FCC Chairman Ajit Pai’s Keep America Connected initiative. The most popular level of Zoom
Internet service recently had its download speed increased to 150 Mbps. As a result of consumers being more reliant on Zoom Internet, Armstrong continues to evaluate customer needs and make product adjustments, as well as monitoring what major traffic contributors like Netflix and Google are doing to manage demand on networks globally. Customers will not only require Zoom for working, learning and communicating from home, but also providing the delivery of video, social media, gam-

The REAL ID will be needed in order for people to board airplanes, but this delay will mean that people won’t be affected in October. Elected officials, airports and Department of Motor Vehicles administrators had expressed concern about the Oct. 1 deadline even before the virus outbreak. No new deadline has been announced yet. ing and many other ways of keeping families functioning well into the future. For the latest information on how Armstrong

Twin Pines Nursing Home receives much-needed face masks By Betsy Brewer Brantner When Twin Pines Nursing Home Administrator Rhonda Quinlan asked if anyone could sew, little did she know that someone was just waiting for something to do during the COVID 19 global pandemic. Patricia Purcell, a Lancaster County resident and retired CEO, was delighted to hear that she had something to do. As it turned out she could sew, and desperately wanted to help those on the front lines in Nursing Homes. It was a win-win for Quinlan and Purcell. A couple days later, Purcell had made over a hundred face masks for the nursing home, and was still sewing. She is making face masks for family and friends as well, and feeling less stressed because of that. And Quinlan said, “It has helped morale here. Staff has graciously scooped the brightly colored masks up very quickly. I see how hard everyone is working at this time. I want to do whatever
I can to help bring down everyone’s stress levels, as well as lighten the mood. The brightly colored masks are very helpful in achieving this. It is a very kind thing for Patricia to do and we all appreciate it.” The face masks not only help the staff, they also boost the morale of the residents, who are greeted with nurses, aides, house-
keeping, food service and activities staff wearing cheerful face masks. It is yet another win-win during a stressful time. Luckily for the residents at Twin Pines, the facility is located in southern Chester County in a beautiful country setting, surrounded by trees, horse farms. The single-story building provides great views outside for resi-
families. To help protect patients, staff, and families, they have had to make tough decisions, such as cancelling all out-of-facility activities to reduce unnecessary exposure to potential illnesses. They are also restricting visitation at this time for the protection of visitors, residents, and staff.
Visitation will be limited to certain compassionate care situations, such as end-oflife. If a visit is medically necessary for an end-of-life visit, a screening process is in place at the facility. Please call the facility at 610-869-2456 ahead of time to arrange the details for a visit. All nursing facilities in the country are under the same federal mandate by Medicare and the CDC to restrict all visitation to only essential medical personnel.

Opinion Editorial
To the readers of the Chester County Press From the very day that Irvin Lieberman first took over the ownership of the Chester County Press in 1970, the mission of this publication has remained as committed, as direct and as unwavering as that first day. With full resolve, this newspaper has spent the last 50 years steadfastly delivering the news of southern Chester County to its faithful readers, while also developing solid relationships with its many advertisers. Over the course of that half century, the Chester County Press has been everywhere you’ve been – at township meetings,
at school board discussions, at events large and small, and in homes from Chadds Ford to Oxford, in the hopes that we may be able to best tell the story of who we are in this crevice of a community tucked in southeastern Pennsylvania. We are now, all of us – every parent, every child, every employee and every business owner – living through a story that none of us could predict, and one that has not yet revealed its ending. As the Chester County Press continues to navigate through the unfolding and vital news about the COVID-19 virus, two thoughts continue to reverberate for us:
During these 50 years, this newspaper has never covered a story of such sweeping and crucial impact; and During these 50 years, we have never felt more responsibility and purpose as a newspaper to keep our readers informed than right now. It is a public service that may become our finest hour. From the time news of the coronavirus first began to dominate the headlines in early March, we have kept our readers informed about legislation and orders decreed by Gov. Wolf and State Secretary of Health Dr.
Rachel Levine, as well as reported on how the virus has galvanized others to offer solutions and opportunities. Under the stewardship of Publisher Randy Lieberman and Managing Editor Steven Hoffman, we have provided nearly daily postings of news and updates on our website –chestercounty.com –and on our Facebook page. While the work of our entire staff – editorial, advertising and design –is being done remotely, we will continue to work together to produce a product that is informative, reliable and accurate. And, from time to time, the often heavy
news will be balanced with levity; over the next several issues, we’re inviting you, our readers, to send us stories of how and your family are creatively coping with your own social distancing and quarantine period. Over these 50 years, we have not only served our thousands of readers faithfully, we have developed unbreakable relationships with our large family of advertisers, particularly those in the small business sector. To them, we say that we are a small business too; we know the sacrifices that are being made now. At this difficult time, allow us to continue to
help tell the story of your company. “Journalism can never be silent,” wrote former Time editor-inchief Henry Anatole Grunwald. “That is its greatest virtue and its greatest fault. It must speak, and speak immediately, while the echoes of wonder, the claims of triumph and the sounds of horror are still in the air.” We will not be silent, especially at a time when there are so many voices that must be heard. We at the Chester County Press thank you for your continued readership and your support. Stay safe.
Letter to the Editor
Kennett Area Community Service thanks community for support Donations are needed to continue to help those affected by the coronavirus pandemic Letter to the Editor: The board of Kennett Area Community Service (KACS) would like to thank our community for the outpouring of generosity during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Your donations are enabling KACS to continue to help individuals and families who live in the Kennett Square, Avon Grove, and Unionville Chadds Ford School Districts with food, shel-
ter, and a path forward. We have also heard from so many of you asking how you can help, and we need your help now more than ever. KACS is here, and we need monetary donations to continue to serve our community. Currently we are open for food distribution. We are also providing emergency assistance by appointment. With the economy seemingly shutting down overnight, the financial reality for many of our
most vulnerable community members has shifted drastically. Last week, we saw an almost 60 percent increase in the number of people we normally serve in a week in our food cupboard. This increase will certainly continue as more businesses shutter and as more people are laid off from their jobs. Normally, KACS relies on donations from our local grocery stores. Unfortunately, grocery store donations stopped
last week due to increased demand from the public. These stores no longer have extra food to donate. For safety reasons, KACS is currently manning the food cupboard solely with our small and dedicated staff. Our 75 volunteers are staying home, and we CANNOT accept food donations without our volunteers. We normally rely on our community to help with our operations. While this currently isn’t possible,
there are still ways you can help. Here is what we are asking of our community: Make a donation. The best way to help us help others is to make an online donation on our website at www.kacsonline.net. Share our information with your contacts, friends, and network on social media. Be a voice for how people can help each other in this time of social distancing, while staying safe.
If you see someone struggling, give them our contact information: 610-925-3556. Even during a crisis that requires us to stay home, we can support each other. Speaking up for the less fortunate and sharing how you are helping can also inspire others to act. Be well, The Board of Kennett Area Community Service (KACS)
Social programs will help us through nationwide emergency Letter to the Editor: It seems rather ironic that, during these days of national emergency, when the country is wholeheartedly embracing the kind of social programs that Christopher Gerber would call socialism in order to fight our way
through this health emergency, that his opinion piece would appear in the Chester County Press. During this nationwide emergency, governmentfinanced health care, paid sick leave, expanded unemployment insurance, free money from the government, and
a massive redistribution of wealth have been heartily embraced by both the government and the people. I wonder if, after this virus-gone-viral has been sufficiently beaten back, we will remember that, for millions of Americans, the emergencies of their lives continue and leave them
helpless. Will we remember those who lose their jobs through no fault of their own, those who can’t afford the health care necessary to treat their various maladies, those who work hard, work hard, and work hard only to be forgotten by the ‘market place’ when it is done with them.
When the problems are our own and we are scared, we want the federal government to be there for us. When others are faced with life-threatening emergencies, will we still feel that it must have been their fault? No one wants the government to tell us how
to live. But those of us not making $300 an hour sometimes need a safety net. If this crisis teaches us anything it should be that taking care of each other is a positive social attitude.
Upon further reflection, I considered the reasons for our dismay about change, especially change at this time when our world has been turned upside down. I don’t think the complaints had much to do with the new arrangement of aisles and registers. I believe it just came at a time when any more change was hard to accept and difficult to process. Finally, to the folks who worked so hard to improve a prime shopping spot in our community, don’t be discouraged. Just as when
refusing the coins we are actually assisting someone else, please know that in receiving a complaint about your work, you have helped! Your team may have saved a family member, friend, or even the cashier, from receiving the brunt of frustration caused by the change that the world is now experiencing. That has nothing to do with the aisles being rearranged. Keep the change!

Keep the Change! Letter to the Editor: Change is hard, so difficult that even cash change, the coins returned from a dollar, is often refused

to compensate for that feeling we often attempt to control other things. Sometimes this is a gift to the community—reaching out to others, acts of kindness, etc. However, there are times when this need for control is hurtful. This reflection is a result of noting that as I searched for a battery for my house phone extension. Having no success at several stores while maintaining social distancing, I walked to the Dollar General Store in the Oxford Square Shopping Center in Oxford. As I entered the store, which had been closed for a few days for remodeling, I was pleasantly surprised by the new look, an openness that was greatly appreciated after the four walls of home for a couple weeks. I spoke out loud, “Oh, how lovely this looks!” As I began to walk further into the store, a contractor sitting on the floor for a brief respite said, “Well,
that made it worthwhile, a compliment, someone who likes it.” A manager with the renovation group spoke, “We are so glad that you like it.” As I continued on my mission, I realized that many people upon entering had expressed displeasure at the new look. Suddenly, I felt very sad for the professionals who had worked hard to get the store remodeled and open for business quickly so the local residents would not be too inconvenienced.

crucial court-related and Human Services functions. Following state guidelines, a “no visitor” policy remains at the Chester County Prison and at Pocopson Home. Visitors to the Chester County Youth Center are answering a series of questions to determine if they are showing signs of coronavirus, and if they are, they are not allowed to enter. Meanwhile, Chester County Health Department and Emergency Services staff are continuing to
work with the Pennsylvania Department of Health and other partners to provide education, mitigation, communication and investigation services related to COVID-19 for both Chester County and Delaware County residents. “The systems in place, and the efforts of the Health Department staff, are amazing to witness,” said County Commissioner Josh Maxwell.“And as would be expected, we take measures every day to screen every person that enters the
Health Operations Center and Emergency Operations Center, so that we can ensure that the people doing critical work during this pandemic are removed from the possibility of infection of coronavirus.” In the weeks since moving to essential operations, the Commissioners, the County’s administrative staff and department leaders have established special programs, services and public information to support individuals, families and businesses affected by the
coronavirus pandemic. “We are focusing our time on strengthening links with all county-based hospital systems to determine current and future testing capabilities for COVID-19,” said County Commissioner Michelle Kichline. “We have also held a remote Town Hall gathering with vital information for our businesses through partnerships with the Chester County Chamber and Economic Development Council, and we maintain communication with all municipalities
–all in an effort to meet the needs of everyone who has been hard-hit by this situation. “We will not stop our focus on meeting the food, shelter and employment needs of everyone in Chester County, and encourage everyone do their part by following the Governor’s Stay at Home order and taking all precautions to get us through the coronavirus crisis.” To contact Staff Writer Richard L.

Local trout season opening postponed Mike Parker, the communications director for the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission announced that the early trout season opening in the southeastern area of the state would be postponed to sync with the opening in the rest of the state. Here is his statement: “Amid concerns regarding the spread of COVID-19, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) announced several changes to the 2020 trout season intended to protect the safety of the public and staff, while preserving the opportunity to enjoy the fun and recreational health benefits of fishing. “These changes, effective immediately, include consolidating the 2020 trout season schedule into a sin-
gle, statewide schedule for all Pennsylvania counties; accelerating trout stocking operations and limiting volunteer participation; and adding more convenient ways to purchase fishing licenses online and display proof of a fishing license and boating documents on a digital device.” “Thank you to the anglers and boaters of Pennsylvania for their understanding as we all experience these changes together,” said Tim Schaeffer, Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission executive director. “While our calendars may start to look a little different, one thing we can count on is that there will be a trout season and there will still be plenty of fish out there to enjoy. Working under
unprecedented circumstances, our staff is committed to providing the quality fishing experience that we all expect.” Statewide mentored youth program and opening day The PFBC will operate under a consolidated statewide schedule for all counties during the 2020 trout season. Under this revised plan, a single Mentored Youth Trout Day will occur on Saturday, April 11, and a Statewide Opening Day of trout season will take place on Saturday, April 18.

Local News West Grove pastor and wife arrive home after harrowing world cruise Editor’s note: This is a letter sent by West Grove United Methodist Church associate pastor Jim Mundell. He and his wife returned home after an aborted world cruise. The ship they were on, a Princess Cruise vessel, was ordered to stop operations due to the coronavirus outbreak. What follows is his final note to friends upon his eventual return home. He has given permission to share in the press.
Virus took its toll on our world cruise when Princess Cruises decided to cease all operations as of March 17. All ships where to stop operations on March 17 or as soon as possible after that date. We left Exmouth, Australia, on March 3 and headed to our next port of call, which was Sri Lanka, due to dock on March 11. On March 5, we were told that Sri Lanka would only allow re-fueling and some The outbreak of the Corona provisions, and that no one
was allowed to disembark the ship. After re-fueling and loading our provisions, we left Sri Lanka hoping the ports ahead would be open for us as we had no virus aboard our ship. After sailing a day, on March 12, we received a video message from Jan Swartz, President of Princess Cruises, stating that the cruises would end in five days on the March 17, or those who would exceed this would head to the nearest port that would allow
the passengers to leave for home. It was decided that our port would be Fremantle, Australia, the port for Perth. So on the evening of March 12, our ship turned around and headed to Fremantle, arriving at 7 a.m. on March 21 We had sailed for 18 days with only a stop at Sri Lanka but had to stay onboard. So we were up by 8 a.m. and ready to leave the ship. Our flight from Perth to Melbourne, Australia, left that night at 11:35 p.m., and
we left the ship at 7 p.m. to go to the airport. This was Friday ship’s time and we took three flights with layovers and we got home Sunday night at 8:45 p.m. It was an exhausting three days and we were very tired. We were very glad to be home after 36 hours of flying, plus the day we were up early. We are glad to be home Rev. Jim Mundell because we did not know what would happen if they allow us to stop for fuel and tried to sail to Ft. Lauderdale, food. --Jim and Betty Mundell not knowing if ports would

Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Penn State Children’s Hospital, The Janet Weis Children’s Hospital at Geisinger, Children’s National Hospital, and Johns Hopkins Children’s Center will each receive $50,000. “On behalf of the children and families we serve, we are
grateful to receive this generous support from GIANT,” said Madeline Bell, president and CEO of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. “GIANT’s commitment to the well-being of its communities has never been more needed – or more appreciated.” “Our team is in full force preparing and responding to this crisis,” said DeAnn Marshall, president, Children’s National Hospital Foundation. “There is so much we will need to tackle in the days, weeks
and months ahead – for our patients and their families, our community and our care providers and staff who are working tirelessly to stem the tide. We are grateful for the support of The GIANT Company. Together, we can ensure that Children’s National has the resources necessary to care for those in our community who depend on us now and in the future.” “In light of COVID-19, there are many unknowns from day to day, hour to hour.

Company continue to stand by our side.

Philadelphia and Children’s National Hospital, they have established drive-thru COVID-19 testing centers for children who are most-atrisk. In addition, the hospitals are working to ramp up their telemedicine programs to make care as accessible as possible during this time, providing the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) and resources to support the well-being of their medical staffs and helping to accelerate research efforts to improve treatments. “While there has been a
great focus on the effects COVID-19 has on our older population, children fighting cancer or other serious medical conditions with weakened immune systems may need further specialty care,” said Nicholas Bertram, president, The GIANT Company. “The GIANT Company has long supported our local children’s hospitals, and we are proud to continue doing what we can to assist in providing quality care to those children and support for the dedicated medical staff on the front lines of this pandemic.”

Navigating the quarantine: Our ideas and activities during the pandemic By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer Go to any search engine these days, punch in “Activities,” “Home” and “Quarantine,” and the results will provide a tumble-down of possibilities that will keep any couple, family or individual captivated and engaged for days. A brief peek recently sent a reporter to the mother lode of ideas: “Activities to do at home or in self-isolation amid coronavirus;” “Relaxing activities to do at home during COVID-19 quarantine;” and “Six educational outdoor family activities to try during the pandemic.” In response to Gov. Wolf's recent announcement that ordered Chester County residents to remain at home through the end of April in an effort to slow down the spread of coronavirus, the Chester County Press reached out to several area residents to see how they are adjusting to the “new normal.”
Dr. David J. Hamburg, principal of the Jordan Bank Kindergarten Center in Oxford, said that while he and his staff deeply miss their students, he hopes that they are well and have settled into new routines that consist of a balance of work and play. As for his new – and hopefully temporary – routine, Hamburg said that he is beginning to carve out a productive schedule for him and his wife Kristin -- also an educator – and their two daughters Eryn and Rileigh, students at Dr. David Hamburg with his wife, Kristin, and their daughters Eryn and Rileigh. Unionville Elementary School. “Typically, my family and I work on schoolwork from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.,” he said. “We break for lunch at noon, and my wife and I take our dog for a walk while our children play some basketball or jump rope outside. At the end of our workday, I have been doing some home improvement projects. This week, I have refinished my daughter’s desk. Next week, my plan is to put an epoxy coat on our garage floor. “We take our dog for another early evening walk before settling in to play some board games, watch some television, and tonight we had our first Zoom get together with our good friends.”

Eric Roe
Eric Roe, who represented the 158th District in the Pa. House of Representatives from 2016-18, said he and his family have been taking advantage of the many outdoor trails and greenways in Chester County. “It’s in times like this when my wife and I are most thankful that we are raising our family in bucolic Chester County,” Roe said. “Because of all the preserved green spaces and trails, we’ve been spending most of our time taking our twins on walks outdoors. On Friday, it was the Brandywine Greenway Trail in West Bradford Township. On Saturday, it was the Stroud Preserve in East Bradford. On Sunday it was the Unionville Community Park’s trails. “I also managed to take a few hours this weekend and kayak along the east branch of the Brandywine from the Trestle Bridge to the Brandywine Picnic Park. Clean air, clean water, and preserved open spaces are good for the soul.”
Eve Fisher
Because her normal work schedule has been altered, Kennett Square Borough resident Eve Fisher has found that she has a little more time in her day – which she has used wisely. “I am trying to keep to my usual schedule, which has been pushed back about three hours. Now that I don’t have to get up at 5 a.m. for work, I make a cup of green tea, write in my journal and read a few pages of an inspirational book. Then I stretch, eat breakfast, and meditate for fifteen minutes. “I am making it a point to get outside and moving, whether that’s going for a hike, run or walk, and am looking forward to getting out on my kayak when the weather warms up a bit. I just started working on my plot at the community garden in Anson B. Nixon Park, where it has become therapeutic to listen to the birds while weeding. I’m reading more and working on writing a collection of personal essays. I’ve been talking with friends a lot, now that I have the time and a stronger need to connect. When at a loss for things to do, I think about what I usually say I don’t have time for, and do that.”

Kennett Square photographer Jie Deng is working with her local Chinese-American community in Unionville and Chadds Ford, to help those in various medical industries. Learning that local medical workers at front lines are short of personal protection equipment such as face masks, protective gowns, the Unionville-Chadds Ford Chinese American Community immediately started fundraising activities over the past weekend
and participation was overwhelming. Volunteers worked around the clock searching for reliable supplies -- piece by piece -- due to severe shortage of supplies at the moment. Last week, the community donated three boxes of protective gear to Penn Medicine Chester County Hospital and three boxes of protective gear and five boxes of N95 face masks to the University of Pennsylvania Hospital. Deng and her daughter are just two of the many
community members who have started sewing facial masks as well, and they plan to donate them to the people in need. “There are critical shortage of resources in hospitals not only here in Chester County but all across the United States, and it puts doctors and nurses at serious health and life risks,” she said. “They are fighting with the virus without necessary tools and protection, and thus desperately need our support.”
Rachel Brown, a wine educator at Chaddsford Winery, is continuing to educate people about wine...on-line. “Right now with the winery closed, I am actually starting to work on a Youtube channel with multiple episodes and segments on wine, how to taste, how to pair and just general 101 knowledge that people usually ask/want to know about,” she said. “I am also hosting a Facebook live stream every Wednesday for folks who want to know about home pairings, wine cocktail recipes and more. “It’s something easy to pass the time and try to keep a normal schedule and wine in the forefront of my brain.” To contact Staff Writer Richard L.
