Zoning Hearing Board rejects several motions in its cell tower decision

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer On an issue that has gripped both sides of a conversation that has been heard in Landenberg for more than two years, it took all of 20 minutes on March 24 for the New Garden Township Zoning Hearing Board to move the concept of constructing a proposed cell tower in Landenberg back several steps.

At its hearing to render a decision on the application of Eco-Site, Inc., to construct a cellular communications tower in the township, the board supported the township’s ordinances regarding the application of Eco-Sites, Inc., and its co-applicant T-Mobile Northeast, LLC in their attempt to prove that the township’s laws regarding the use and function of wireless communications facilities in the township are invalid and unconstitutional.

In motion after motion, the Zoning Hearing Board (ZHB) supported the laws contained in Section 200119, which establishes uniform standards for the siting, design, permitting, maintenance, and use of wireless communications facilities in the township.

The ordinance states that “while the township recognizes the importance of wireless communications facilities in providing

high-quality communications service to its residents and businesses, the township also recognizes that it has an obligation to protect the public safety and to minimize the adverse visual effects of such facilities through the standards set forth” in several dozen provisions.

The hearing was chaired by Zoning Hearing Board Solicitor Winifred Sebastian, Esq., and also included members Fred Clemens, Richard Zimny and Pete Scilla.

The board denied a motion submitted by the co-applicants stating that several sections of the New Garden Township Zoning Ordinance (Sec. 200-119. B12 and 200-19C) are de facto exclusionary and by reason of its establishment of tower height limitations is invalid and unconstitutional.

The board also rejected a motion that stated that the co-applicants had met their burden of showing that the township zoning ordinance is de facto exclusionary regarding personal wireless service facilities, by reason of the single-use restriction in sections 200-14 and 200-18.

The board turned back a motion by the co-applicants who claimed that the zoning ordinance is de facto exclusionary, invalid and Continued on Page 2A

Braffman to resign from Kennett Square Borough Council

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer The changes on Kennett Square Borough Council continue.

Council member Wayne Braffman recently announced his intention to resign from borough council. He plans to resign at borough council’s next meeting on Monday, April 15.

Braffman’s decision to resign comes just weeks after LaToya Myers stepped aside as council president and Ethan Cramer stepped aside as council vice president. Both cited new regulations that were

implemented regarding how borough council conducts its meetings as the reason for leaving the leadership posts. Specifically, Myers and Cramer did not agree with new rules regarding public comment. Myers and Cramer both remained on borough council.

Braffman is leaving borough council eight months early for a good reason—he will be traveling a lot in the latter part of the year, and won’t be available for a majority of the council meetings.

Braffman said that he did not want to leave his fellow council members shorthanded for the rest of the year.

Local News Senate passes Killion bill to expand CPR training in Schools The Pennsylvania Senate unanimously passed legislation aimed at saving lives through greater education and training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, according to Senator Tom Killion (R-9), who sponsored the measure.

Senate Bill 115 would strengthen academic guidelines in schools for CPR training in grades nine through 12, while adding hands-only CPR instruction to Pennsylvania’s education curriculum. “This bill will greatly expand lifesaving CPR training in Pennsylvania,� said Killion. “If this becomes law, future generations will better learn how to administer CPR while attending high school. This has the potential to save countless lives for years to come.�

Killion noted that over 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside of hospitals

each year. There is a less than 10 percent survival rate for sudden cardiac arrest. “We commend the Pennsylvania Senate for unanimously passing legislation to provide CPR education in schools, including information on how to use AEDs (automated external defibrillators),� said Martin Gannon, a member of the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation Board of Directors.

Gannon survived sudden cardiac arrest in 2003 at a basketball game at Steel Valley High School in Munhall, thanks to the quick actions of bystanders who provided CPR and then 16-year-old Penn Hills High School student, Matthew Strauss, who used an AED to save Gannon’s life Frances M. Sheehan, President of The Foundation for Delaware County, also

urged final passage of the measure, calling it an important life-saving tool.� “Almost 350 Delaware County residents died from cardiac arrest in 2017 because no one nearby was trained in CPR. The Foundation for Delaware County applauds Senator Killion for saving lives,�

Sheehan said.

Victoria, Vetter, M.D., Director of Youth Heart Watch and Professor of Pediatrics at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia also thanked Senator Killion for proposing the legislation “Passage of SB 115 is a great accomplishment,�

Vetter said. “It will be a lifesaving day for the citizens of Pennsylvania when this bill is signed into law and our high school graduates become the next generation who will provide CPR and help prevent sudden cardiac death.�

throughout the township – specifically, in the area south of Broad Run Road.

Referring to another section of the 1996 Telecommunications Act, the board also rejected the co-applicant’s claim that the township was discriminatory toward their application, by reason of their granting variance relief to other providers to establish functionally equivalent personal wireless facilities in the township.

The ZHB also rejected a motion that claimed that the township’s zoning ordinances violate the

Telecommunications Act by reason of “unreasonable discrimination preventing that co-applicants to provide additional services or improve the existing wireless service in a significant part of the township.�

The board also denied site-specific relief to the coapplicants to proceed with the development of a property for a personal wireless facility.

The board also stated that the co-applicants have not met the burden required for the granting of variances established by the Pennsylvania Municipality

unconstitutional regarding personal wireless facilities.

Throughout the hearing, the board also repeatedly turned back motions on the basis that the township’s zoning ordinances do not violate several provisions listed in the 1996 Telecommunications Act, by what the co-applicants claimed prohibited personal wireless service facilities in the township, and to the extent that variance relief is needed to establish personal wireless facilities

This legislation is a top priority of the American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association. It is also supported by the Pennsylvania State Education Association,

Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Athletic Trainers Society and Independence Blue Cross.

If Killion’s bill becomes

law, Pennsylvania would become the 39th state to enact similar CPR legislation.

The measure now goes to the House of Representatives for consideration.

Planning Code and the township’s zoning ordinance, regarding height limitations for cell towers.

The ZHB also denied a use variance from the new garden township’s zoning ordinance to allow for the construction of a cell tower on the Santoro property located at 1511 Yeatmans Station Road in Landenberg.

The ruling of the ZHB on March 24 served as a judgment day for a nearly two-year-long series of hearings and testimony that attempted to justify the need to construct a 125-foot-tall wireless communications tower by Eco-Sites, Inc., a Durham. N.C.-based supplier of wireless and infrastructure solutions.

Over the course of several hearings and in the testi-

mony of several experts in telecommunications, attorney Christopher H. Schubert argued in favor of his client that the need to increase cell tower coverage in a specific area of New Garden Township was great, based on several tests that showed “dead zones� where cell phone service was poor.

Throughout the entirety of these hearings, arguments in favor of a cell tower were met with opposition by more than a dozen township residents, many of whom live near the Santoro property – also known as Little Stenning Farm. Given official party status in the hearing, residents were joined by historians and environmentalists in voicing their rejection to the

selection of the Santoro property as the site of the tower.

Public opposition to a planned cell tower was first heard at a formal conditional use hearing at the New Garden Board of Supervisors meeting on April 17, 2017 and continued until testimony was closed at the end of 2018.

On instructions from Sebastian, further testimony, public comment or argument by attorneys on behalf of their clients was not permitted during the hearing. A written decision must be issued to the township no later than 30 days after the ruling.

Avon Grove officials are developing plans for the construction of a new, 305,000 square-foot high school. The project will include an efficient thermal building envelope, efficient LED lighting systems with daylight sensors, an energy efficient and individually controlled HVAC system, and a 450kw photovoltaic solar array. The project will reduce energy usage by 1,235,117kwh, representing a 32.2 percent deduction from grid elec-

Alternative and Clean Energy Program funds will be used to help offset the costs associated with the construction of the new school, including foundations, structural steel, concrete, roofing, wall assemblies, finishes, plumbing systems, HVAC systems, and other considerations, such as food service and similar areas.

CCIU to host inaugural ‘Coaching Beyond the Game’ event featuring keynote speaker Dick Vermeil Being a successful coach in 2019 is about more than measuring wins and losses. To help current and future coaches navigate these changing expectations, the Chester County Intermediate Unit (CCIU) is hosting the inaugural “Coaching Beyond the Game” event at West Chester University’s Madeleine Wing Adler Theatre on Saturday, April 27 from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. “Coaching Beyond the Game” will help current and potential K-12 athletic coaches in the region gain new strategies to improve their impact on and off the field. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from keynote speaker and former Philadelphia Eagle’s coach Dick Vermeil and coaching expert Lindsay Helm, obtain new strategies to help meet the growing needs of student athletes and network with other professionals.

“Coaching Beyond the Game” was conceptualized by the CCIU after receiving feedback from local athletic directors about the complex challenges facing coaches.

Dr. Joseph O’Brien, executive director of the CCIU, used the feedback to help develop this new concept.

“Our student-athletes are dealing with so much more than just the wins and losses on the field, and many of today’s coaches don’t feel

equipped to support them,” Dr. O’Brien explained.

“After meeting with dozens of athletic directors across multiple counties, we kept hearing the same challenges come up. The goal is for ‘Coaching Beyond the Game’ to empower these athletic leaders to make a greater impact on their athletes as a whole.”

One of the highlights of the event is that attendees will have the opportunity to hear from keynote speaker Dick Vermeil. Vermeil, who coached the Saint Louis Rams to victory in Super Bowl XXXIV, spent 15 seasons in the National Football League (NFL) as the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, St. Louis Rams and Kansas City Chiefs. He will share his experiences as a coach and offer take-aways for those currently coaching and those aspiring to be coaches.

In addition to Vermeil, attendees will also hear from guest speaker Lindsay Helm, co-founder and co-owner of Stand Strong Training Center in Downingtown, PA. Helm is a lifelong athlete who grew up in Downingtown, PA and helped lead the Downingtown High School Girls Soccer team to back-to-back state championship victories. She went on to row Division I crew at Cornell University, where she won a gold medal in the EAWRC sprints. Helm is a master trainer for Coach Training EDU and trains coaches around the world in Academic Life Coaching, Wellness Coaching and Sports Mindset Coaching.

Helm’s presentation will offer coaches tips and tricks to help improve their ability to impact their student-athletes on and off the field.

Those in attendance will also have the opportu-

nity to learn more about a new coaching certification program being offered by the CCIU. The Athletic Leadership & Coaching Development Program will utilize a cohort model to help coaches engage in topics surrounding the physical, mental and academic development of student athletes.

Further, participants will be able to engage in professional and career development with expert instructors who will leverage their coaching experience with topical expertise. Current and aspiring coaches will leave the program with a certificate from the CCIU and a profes-

sional portfolio showcasing work completed throughout the program.

“Coaches play a vital role in many students’ lives, building their self-esteem and teaching them invaluable life skills,” said Dr. O’Brien. “The CCIU is recognized as an educational leader across the state, so why not extend that into the athletic realm as well.”

This event is open to all levels of current and aspiring K-12 athletic coaches.

General admission for the event is $20, with a college student discount rate of $10 with the presentation of a valid college ID.

All attendees must register by April 19, 2019; there is limited seating for this event, so early registration is encouraged. To register for the “Coaching Beyond the Game” event, please visit www.cciu.org/ CoachingEvent.

Brown (Patriots Committee Chair), Lucas Dusseau (contest winner) and Pat Blassingale (Chapter President).

Fred S. Engle Middle School (FSEMS) 7th grade student Lucas Dusseau was honored on March 25 for winning the 2019 Patriot’s Challenge, a middle school writing contest sponsored by the Valley Forge Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Dusseau won for his original rap, “Slave Spy,” which told the story of James Armistead, an African-American spy during the American Revolution.

Representatives from the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Alumnae presented Dusseau with an award certificate and a $150 prize. Dusseau proudly recited his rap to an audience of administrators, teachers and students during an awards ceremony at FSEMS. Dusseau’s innovative lyrics and brilliant storytelling clearly showcased his knowledge and creativity.

In addition, FSEMS was recognized as the

top participating school throughout Chester and Montgomery Counties, with 13 student entries from Mrs. Kelly Luckowski’s 7th grade English language arts class.

This year’s theme was to recognize AfricanAmerican unsung heroes of the Revolutionary War by submitting either an original essay, poem or rap. Of all the submissions, only three winners were selected.

IU budgets top Oxford School Board agenda

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer During a meeting of the Oxford School Board on March 19, there were reports or discussions about the core budgets of the Chester County Intermediate Unit, the work of the Oxford Educational Foundation, the Safe2Say Something reporting system, and Oxford’s nominee for the 2019 Citadel Heart of Learning Award.

The Oxford School Board approved the Chester County Intermediate Unit’s core services budget and occupational education budget for the 20192020 school year. All Chester County school districts are asked to approve the Chester County Intermediate Unit’s budget each year because those budgets establish what school districts will be paying for the wide variety of programs and services offered by the Chester County Intermediate Unit.

There is no increase in Oxford’s core budget costs for the 20192020 school year.

Safe2Say Something, the state’s anonymous reporting system aimed at preventing school violence, was one of the topics included in the monthly report by assistant superintendent Dr. Margaret Billings-Jones.

Safe2Say Something is a statewide program that allows students, teachers, school administrators and others to anonymously report potential threats of violence and other problems before they happen.

The system was established and funded by the Pennsylvania legislature and signed into law

by Gov. Tom Wolf last year.

The Safe2Say Something reporting system is based on the principles of anonymity and confidentiality to encourage reporting of problems, potential threats of violence, self-harm or other incidents.

Nearly 5,000 tips were handled during the first month that Safe2Say Something was launched at schools throughout Pennsylvania. Billings-Jones explained that all tips that are made to Safe2SaySomething are handled through the State Attorney General’s Office.

When a tip is received, school district officials, both at the district and building level, are contacted. In instances where it is appropriate to do so, law enforcement authorities are contacted. Police can even be dispatched to homes of students for wellness checks.

Billings-Jones said that since Safe2Say Something was launched, the process has worked fairly smoothly. Oxford has received about 25 reports through the tip line, and all of those tips were investigated.

Billings-Jones noted that most of Oxford’s tips have been related to the Penn’s Grove School, and she lauded that school’s principal, Tami Motes, for her attentiveness to incidents whenever a tip has been filed.

As a result of the success of the Safe2Say Something system, Oxford is now discontinuing its own safety tipline that had been used up until the launch of Safe2Say Something.

More information about Safe2Say Something can be found at www.safe2saypa.org.

Information can be reported by calling 1-844-Saf2Say (844-723-2729).

Steve Roberts, the president of the Oxford Educational Foundation, provided a brief report to the school board about the organization’s activities in support of Oxford schools.

Roberts explained that this is the 24th year of operation for the Oxford Educational Foundation, and so far the organization has offered tutoring services to 484 Oxford students. One tutor, Roberts noted, has worked with 54 different students during that time.

Superintendent David Woods congratulated Oxford Area High School English teacher Carynne Burnett for being named as Oxford’s recipient of the 2019 Citadel Heart of Learning Award. Burnett is now one of 15 finalists for the countywide Citadel Heart of Learning Award, which is sponsored by Citadel Credit Union and the Chester County Intermediate Unit, and will be presented during the annual awards banquet in May. The annual award recognizes the outstanding job Chester County’s teachers perform in educating and caring for young people. Burnett has been teaching at the high school since 2004, and currently teaches ninth and 12th grade Honors English and 12th grade AP literature and composition.

The Oxford School Board will meet again for a work session on Tuesday, April 9. The next regular school board meeting will take place on Tuesday, April 16. Both meetings begin at 7 p.m. and will be held in the district’s Administration Building.

Local News Retirement of award-winning K-9 team member prompts gratitude Left to his own decisionmaking, K-9 Yukon would have doggedly continued to sniff out explosives, track missing children, and provide security to the public.

Instead, the regal black and tan German shepherd, currently recovering from surgery, has been retired from the Chester County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Unit after nearly nine years of service.

“I could tell; it was definitely time,” said Cpl. Brian Bolt, explaining that even though Yukon still eagerly awaited every assignment, his body was slowing down.

“Needless to say, we are sorry to lose Yukon, who has been an incredible asset to our office and the community,” said Chester County Sheriff Carolyn Bunny Welsh. “We appreciate the hard work and sacrifices required from both the dog and the handler to make them such a

valuable and successful team.”

Bolt, a lifelong county resident, began working at the Sheriff’s Office in July 2008. In 2010, he joined the K-9 Unit and was paired with Yukon, a 1-year-old from West Germany, at the Vonder Haus Gill K-9 Academy in Ohio. The pair graduated with certifications in explosives detection, tracking, patrol, and article searches.

Since then, Bolt and Yukon have responded to many hundreds of calls.

During security details, they crossed paths and brushed noses with a host of dignitaries, from aspiring Presidents to elected ones.

They provided backup during periodic high-risk fugitive apprehensions, and they participated in countless searches, ranging from pursuing armed robbery suspects to locating lost children.

In 2016, the team joined the U.S. Police Canine Association (USPCA) and competed for the first time in the USPCA national competition. The team won four trophies, excelling in every category for bomb detection. The following year, Bolt, who returns to the courts division of the Sheriff’s Office, earned his K-9 trainers’ certificate as well as USPCA judging status. The pair certified again nationally in 2018.

“They were a great K-9 team and worked well together,” said Sgt. Paul Bryant Jr., a veteran K-9 handler, trainer and judge.

Lt. Harry McKinney, who heads the K-9 Unit, agreed.

“It has been a privilege to work with Corporal Bolt and see his development and devotion to the K-9 program,” said McKinney, who watched the two train and earn its first certification in Ohio. “Yukon graduated as

Deputy Sheriff Brian Bolt and K-9 Yukon shared hundreds of assignments and multiple awards.

top in his class and has worked as a true professional ever since. They have been an amazing team.”

Bolt said he couldn’t

have participated in the K-9 program without the unwavering support of his wife, Lauren Bolt. He said he and his wife are eager to

reward his partner for his faithful service with more time for relaxation and play.

“He’s earned it,” Bolt said.

Local News Students partner with Handi-Crafters for a day of service Technical College High School (TCHS) Brandywine Campus SkillsUSA students recently completed a day of service with Handi-Crafters in Thorndale as part of their annual American Spirit project.

Handi-Crafters operates one of the largest employment and disability-focused support service programs in southeastern Pennsylvania.

Each year, Handi-Crafters helps over 400 individuals access rewarding employment opportunities. This year, TCHS Brandywine Campus SkillsUSA students partnered with HandiCrafters to help give back to an organization that is making an impact in Chester County and beyond.

This year’s theme for SkillsUSA is “SkillsUSA: Champions at Work, Career-Ready Starts Here.”

In order to choose a day of

service to fit this theme, the American Spirit team for TCHS Brandywine Campus SkillsUSA selected an organization focused on career readiness. The American Spirit team of Suzanna Angstadt, Marlen Alpizar Gonzalez, Alondra Lopez Garcia and Stephanie Gonzales Rojas wanted to support an organization that has a goal of providing opportunities to workers of all abilities.

TCHS Brandywine Campus SkillsUSA student Suzanna Angstadt said, “I really enjoyed working alongside the employees at Handi-Crafters; they were all so kind, caring and an inspiration to be around.”

As part of their day of service, students toured the facilities, learned the history of the organization and watched a demonstration of how Handi-Crafters

helps people of all abilities engage in career-readiness.

Students assisted with packing materials and interacting with the employees.

Stephanie Gonzales Rojas, a student who participated in the day of service, left the day eager to return to volunteer again. “Living in the Coatesville Area School District, I never knew this organization was right in my backyard. I was happy to learn about it and look forward to volunteering again,” she said.

SkillsUSA is a nonprofit partnership of students, instructors and industry experts that seek to develop the future skilled labor workforce in the United States. The purpose of the American Spirit project is to evaluate local SkillsUSA chapter activities for projects that emphasize community service, citi-

The wall of protection

Penn Township Board of Supervisors clarifies vote on Penn London Elementary tree house

Last Monday afternoon at the Pennsylvania State Capitol Building in Harrisburg, Rep. Movita JohnsonHarrell, was sworn in, becoming the first Muslim to be elected to state office in the history of the Commonwealth. It was a monumental moment in the state chamber, but one that will be noted for the history books with an embarrassing footnote, authored

by Johnson-Harrell’s new colleague, Rep. Stephanie Borowicz from Clinton County.

Invoking the name of Jesus more than a dozen times, Rep. Borowicz went on a religious bender, declaring herself “Jesus’s “ambassador,” and that Jesus is “the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the Great I am,” “the One who is coming back again.” Before an entire chamber, Rep. Borowicz soldiered on, asking God to forgive America for losing its spiritual bearings.

“We’re asking you to forgive us,” she said. “Jesus, you are our only hope,” and, just moments before a Muslim senator was to take her oath to serve Pennsylvania and her district, Rep. Borowicz offered her thanks to President Trump for his support of the nation of Israel. Were she not interrupted by a shout of “I object!” from the chamber, Rep. Borowicz would have very likely continued.

House Whip Jordan Harris said “prayer was weaponized from the speaker’s dais.” Gov. Tom Wolf told The Associated Press that he was “horrified” by the invocation. Rep. Kevin Boyle of Philadelphia called Rep. Borowicz’s comments “a fire and brimstone evangelical prayer that epitomizes religious intolerance,” and immediately introduced a resolution that urges House members who wish to offer an opening prayer in the House that the prayer be “respectful of all religious beliefs.”

Several critics blasted the prayer, calling it a blatant representation of “the Islamophobia that exists among some leaders—leaders that are supposed to represent the people.” When reached for comment, Johnson-Harrell said that she found Rep. Borowicz’s invocation “offensive.”

“To use Jesus as a weapon is not OK, and we cannot weaponize what’s going on with Israel and Palestine,” she said.

While the rhetorical backlash to Rep. Borowicz’s action on March 25 continues to be picked apart by every side of the political and religious spectrum in Pennsylvania and beyond, we believe that Rep. Borowicz’s invocation was not an attempt to drive a wedge into Harrisburg politics, nor was it intended to serve as a weapon to illuminate – and possibly incriminate – Rep. Johnson-Harrell for being a Muslim.

Further, we also believe that while the religious freedoms afforded to U.S. citizens should allow every person his or her own pulpit, Rep. Borowicz chose the wrong podium and the wrong audience and the wrong ceremony on which to share her prayer.

To best explain, consider the well-recognized metaphor of “separation of church and state,” a somewhat nebulous but still accepted belief that our politics should not interfere with our religious beliefs, and vice versa. While the U.S. Constitution states that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” the “separation of church and state” has become the accepted principle in the matters of our government and our religious beliefs -- what Thomas Jefferson referred to as a “wall of separation” that’s been erected in order to protect us.

In a letter written on Jan. 1, 1802 to the Danbury, Conn. Baptists, Jefferson wrote, “. . .I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should “make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” thus building a wall of separation between Church & State.”

The biography included on Rep. Borowicz’s website reads, in part: “With an uncompromising belief in the original intent of our state and federal constitutions, Stephanie is deeply committed to protecting our Godgiven rights and freedoms from intrusive government overreach…”

We are firm in our belief that everyone is entitled to those freedoms. We only wish that Rep. Stephanie Borowicz had invoked the golden rule of our democracy, when choosing to express hers.

Letter to the Editor: It has come to our attention that misinformation regarding the Penn Township Board of Supervisors action regarding the proposed Penn London Elementary tree house has been circulating.

On Wednesday, March 6, during the Penn Township Board of Supervisors regular meeting, the supervisors entertained a request submitted by the Avon Grove School District to waive the land development pro-

cess for the tree house. The land development process exists to ensure the health, safety and welfare of the community as it undergoes land development or alterations and is a normal course of township operation which ensures that the appropriate and current engineering reviews and building code standards are applied.

On advice of counsel, the supervisors denied the request to waive the landdevelopment process, not the tree house itself, thus

preserving that legal and necessary review process.

The school district representative in attendance was invited to submit the land development application for the tree house and in fact, the land development application was obtained by a second school district representative last week from the township office. To be clear, there was NO DENIAL OF THE TREE HOUSE. The supervisors merely followed the advice of their solicitor, in accordance with and to be consistent with the ordi-

nances which govern Penn Township.

With regard to a tree house at an elementary school, adherence to the laws and reviews to ensure the safety of our children and our community is the board’s paramount consideration. If you have any questions, please contact the township office at office@penntownship.us or via phone at 610-869-9620.

Joint state legislative hearing focuses on college affordability Democratic lawmakers recently held a joint Senate-House hearing in Harrisburg on legislation aimed at making college more affordable.

The joint state SenateHouse Democratic Policy Committee hearing focused on the proposed “Pennsylvania Promise Act” legislation introduced

by Sen. Vincent Hughes (D-Phila.) and state Reps.

Jim Roebuck and Jordan Harris (both D-Phila.).

The measure would help reduce tuition and fees for many students who attend community colleges, state system schools and Pitt, Penn State, Temple and Lincoln universities.

“Pennsylvania Promise would help more students access and afford college,” Hughes said. “It would also protect them from the crushing loan debt that so many people struggle with after they graduate.”

Roebuck added, “The program would help open doors and opportunity for thousands of low and middle-income students.

I’d also stress the added emphasis on adult learners and those who seek retraining for new careers.”

The legislation (Senate Bill 111 and House Bill 244) would cover tuition and fees for high school

graduates with an annual family income of $110,000 or less who are attending one of Pennsylvania’s 14 community colleges, stateowned or state-related universities. Students with a family income of $48,000 or less would also be eligible for help with room and board.

The Pennsylvania Promise grants would cover the “last dollar” -the remaining amount after all federal, state, and institutional grants have been awarded. Similar laws are in place in New York and Tennessee.

In addition, the legislation would provide grants to adult learners who seek additional credentials, including certification and college credit.

Boscola, who chaired the hearing, said, “I wish I had a nickel for every business owner who told me they have numerous job openings, but cannot find qualified people to fill them. Apart from improving access to a college education, this would help make our workforce more viable for better job opportunities.”

She added that approximately 70 percent of college graduates are saddled with significant loan debt. Collectively, 44 mil-

lion Americans owe nearly $1.5 trillion.

Ken Mash, who serves as president of the Association of Pennsylvania College and University Faculties, told the panel, “Pennsylvania’s national standing with regard to higher education (48th in educational appropriations per full-time student) continues to be an embarrassment, yet not doing anything substantial to fix the problem is the choice we have continually opted for. Year after year, we fail future generations by pricing them out and saddling them with mountains of student loan debt.”

Mark Price, a labor economist with the Keystone Research Center, added, “While Pennsylvania has spent less per capita on higher education than most other states, the state has also sharply decreased higher education funding over the last decade.”

Adjusted for inflation, he said college funding has declined by $700 million (29 percent) since fiscal 2007-08.

Tom Foley, who serves as president of the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Pennsylvania, recommended that lawmakers: Fully fund the PHEAA (Pennsylvania Higher

Education Assistance Agency) needs-based direct grant program, fully fund the PHEAA “ready to succeed” scholarship program, encourage colleges to engage in collaborative efficiency efforts, and include private non-profit colleges in the student debt discussions.

Angel Hart Funk, a senior at California University of Pennsylvania, discussed her student loan debt and worries about finding a job that will enable her to pay back her loans. Noting that the cost of tuition has more than tripled since 1988, she implored lawmakers to find a solution to the college affordability problem.

“Finding a solution to student debt is no longer a want, it’s a need,” Funk said.

Joining Boscola, Hughes and Roebuck at the hearing were Senator Lindsey Williams (D-Allegheny) and Reps. Danilo Burgos (D-Phila.), Margo Davidson (DDelaware), Tina Davis (D-Bucks), Isabella Fitzgerald (D-Phila.), Steven Malagari (DMontgomery), Robert Merski (D-Erie), Jennifer O’Mara (D-Delaware), Wendy Ullman (D-Bucks), Perry Warren (D-Bucks), and Jake Wheatley (D-Allegheny).

County gets $3.74 million to preserve open space on two farms At its recent meeting, the Pennsylvania Agricultural Land Preservation Board awarded Chester County the highest level of funding, $3.74 million, to preserve nearly 150 more acres of farmland on two Chester County farms.

The state board announced an overall spending threshold of $38 million for the purchase of development rights from 38 farm owners statewide – the highest spending total in more than a decade.

Chester County’s award of state funds, added to certified county funds of $5 million for farmland preservation in 2019, positions the county as the state leader in funding for agricultural land preservation.

“Preservation of farms is truly best practice for the future benefit of everyone,

and we must do what we can to make sure Chester County’s tradition of farming continues,” said Chester County Commissioners’ chair, Michelle Kichline.

Since the start of the county’s agricultural land preservation program 30 years ago, more than 40,100 acres of farmland have been preserved. Factoring in current agreements of sale, the number exceeds 41,200 acres. Last December, Chester County preserved its 500th farm.

Commissioner Kathi Cozzone said, “The variety of preserved farms in Chester County reflects the diversity of our agriculture.

It is a vital industry, creating more than $600 million in revenue a year.”

Commissioner Terence Farrell added, “Chester County has invested $106

million in farmland preservation over 30 years, and that investment ensures that the county’s agriculture industry continues to contribute over $3 billion to our local economy through sales, employment, taxes and services. We thank the members of our Agriculture Land Preservation Board for their valuable contribution, making our program the best in the state.”

The nine-member Chester County Agriculture Land Preservation Board (ALPB) guides the County on farmland preservation and reviews applications from farm owners. Board chairwoman Melba Matthews said, “We are so proud of the accomplishments of our volunteer board that has worked in partnership with county staff and the Chester

County Commissioners for the past 30 years to preserve farmland. It is a great accomplishment to be state leader for farmland preservation, while leveraging federal, state, county, and township funds to support the local farming industry and preserve open space.”

The ALPB is now accepting applications for farmland preservation. Farms of 10 acres or more are eligible if they are adjacent to permanently preserved land. Farms not adjacent to permanently preserved land need to be a minimum of 50 acres in size for the Commonwealth program, and 25 acres in size for the Challenge Grant Program. The deadline for Chester County’s Farmland Preservation application is Aug. 1.

Chester County Commissioners Michelle Kichline and Terence Farrell kickoff re-election with county tour

Chester County Commissioners Michelle Kichline and Terence Farrell announced their re-election campaign by making three stops in the county and talking to supporters about Chester County government’s excellent record.

“Just last week,” said Chester County Republican Chairman Rick Loughery, “Chester County was named the most prosperous place to live in Pennsylvania by the Hamilton Project at the Brookings Institution.

Chester County is consistently listed as one of the best places to live, work and raise a family in the entire country. The leadership of Commissioners Michelle Kichline and Terence Farrell is a big reason for our county’s success.”

The Commissioners’ tour included stops at Conestoga High School, Lionville Fire Company and at the Miss Oxford Diner.

During the stop at Conestoga High School, the commissioners pointed out the county’s schools are some of the best in Pennsylvania. They also discussed the improvements being made to the rail system in the Paoli area.

The Commissioners were joined by student supporters from the high school’s Young Republican club.

“We began the day in Commissioner Kichline’s backyard,” Terence Farrell said. “A graduate of Conestoga High School,

Chester County Commissioners Michelle Kichline and Terence Farrell announced their re-election campaign by making three stops in the county, including visits to Conestoga High School, Lionville Fire Company and at the Miss Oxford Diner.

Michelle lives down the street and has been active in the community for many years. Michelle has such a compelling story of her own. She is the daughter of immigrant parents and actively supports those who are new to our country.

Raising her own family here, Michelle’s dedication to community values helps to make Chester County a wonderful place.”

During the stop at Lionville Fire Company, Kichline and Farrell pointed out Chester County government has spent in

excess of $100 million on public safety projects, including the Public Safety Training facility and the county’s emergency radio network.

Commissioner Farrell said keeping the public safe is a priority for the commissioners.

The 911 radio system is a vital component for first responders and must be in working condition every second of every day.

While at the fire company, the commissioners lauded the work done by the firefighters, EMT

personnel and our local law enforcement. They recognized the sacrifices that our first responders make to keep our communities safe.

Commissioner Kichline also noted the county’s legal action against the Sunoco pipeline due to serious public safety concerns. For more than two years, the County Commissioners have been demanding crucial pipeline emergency safety information and procedures from Sunoco.

Those requests have not been satisfied, so the

County Commissioners have taken legal action.

Kichline and Farrell also took the opportunity to talk about the opioid crisis gripping not only Chester County but the country and the fact first responders have to deal with this plague. The county has sued opioid manufacturers in an effort to stop the flood of deadly drugs into our communities. Also, to fight the Opioid crisis more than $100,000 has been raised by the commissioners in recent years for an innovative

effort that ensures opioid overdose survivors are connected to treatment programs.

The final stop of the day was in Oxford where Farrell and Kichline pointed to the improved business climate in the borough.

County government has invested millions of dollars in the revitalization of the county’s boroughs and the City of Coatesville, and Oxford’s revitalization is proof that taxpayers are receiving a great return on its investments.

Kichline and Farrell took the opportunity during the stop in Oxford to point out Chester County is a leader in farm and open space preservation. Recently, the county protected its 500th farm from development and secured 80 additional acres for the county’s nearby Nottingham Park.

More than 28 percent of the county is now protected open space, parks and preserved farm land.

“Good government is one of the main reasons Chester County is the best county in the nation,” Chairman Loughery said. “Our citizens receive great value for every tax dollar spent and our Commissioners’ efforts to help our community’s most vulnerable residents is extensive and responsible.

For the preservation of our quality of life, our children’s future and the county’s vibrancy, Michelle Kichline and Terence Farrell are the leaders we need for Chester County.”

Strong pitching, timely hitting lead Indians to 5-2 win

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer Throughout the Unionville baseball team’s 5-2 victory over visiting Henderson on April 1 – which put the Indians in the win column for the first time this season – there were continued malfunctions with the recording device that played walk-up music to accompany each Unionville batter who stepped into the batter’s box.

The sound really never got off the ground, but thanks to solid outings

by Andrew Humphrey, Patrick Kennan and Scott Hansen – and backed by a three-run

fifth inning – head coach Mike Magee’s team did.

Winning pitcher Humphrey breezed through the first three innings, surrendering no runs and no hits, while striking out three and baffling the Warriors on an assortment of fastballs and off-speed pitches.

His only trouble came in the second inning, when with one out, Brendan Gray walked, stole second and advanced to third base on a passed ball. After walking Owen McCarthy, Humphrey struck out Cole Stevens and Pat Esemplare, stranding Gray at third and ending Henderson’s scoring threat.

The Indians dotted the scoreboard with a run in their half of the first that began on a walk to Connor Schilling with one away. He advanced to third on an inf ield error on a grounder

by Alex Pelegrin, and scored on a ground out

by Sean Matson.

Unionville punched another run home in the fourth inning when Henry Goodier walked and was replaced by a designated runner Jacob Juul, who scampered to third on an inf ield pop by Taylor Bohn that fell between two infielders for an error.

He later came home on the game’s first hit – a

Unionville’s Connor Schilling got two hits and scored twice in the victory.

Winning pitcher Andrew Humphrey tossed three innings of shutout ball in leading Unionville to a 5-2 victory over visiting Henderson on April 1.

double by Jason Granato to left field.

After surrendering two runs and striking out the side in the second inning, Henderson starter Eddie Smink was replaced by reliever Logan Culp, who immediately yielded two consecutive doubles

by Kyle Lyons and Schilling, who advanced on a grounder by Austin Ahart that was bobbled for an error. Lyons and Schilling then scored on a single by Goodier, which was followed by Bohn’s single that scored Christian Moravsky, who ran for Ahart.

Keenan, who replaced Humphrey in the fourth inning, pitched two scoreless innings before he was touched for Henderson’s two

runs in the sixth. Eric Angle, batting for Danny Collinson, drove home Logan Conduit, who had reached on an inf ield error. Angle later came around to score on an overthrow attempt to nab Gray at second, who had just singled.

Facing Hansen in the seventh, Esemplare singled, but right fielder Schilling ended the game on a spectacular grab of a liner to right center by Casey Caufield with one away. After making the catch, Schilling quickly spun and doubled Esemplare off of first.

Magee spoke highly of Humphrey, Keenan and Hansen.

“They are our three pitchers who we’re going to have to set up

if we’re going to see the playoffs,” Magee said.

“When you throw a lot of ground balls and have good defense behind them, you win games. We preach ‘pitch to contact,’ ‘throw ground balls’ and ‘field the routine plays,’ and we did that today.”

Now 1-4 overall and 1-1 in the Ches-Mont, the Indians will face off against their crosstown rival Kennett on April 5.

Henderson, now 1-3 overall and in the Ches-Mont, will host Downingtown East on April 3.

Remembering the fun of years gone by Lenape Park and Chadds Peak are recalled at the Chadds Ford Historical Society

By John Chambless Staff Writer Anyone who visited Lenape Park or the Chadds Peak Ski Area from the 1950s to the 1980s will experience a flood of nostalgia when they enter the Chadds Ford Historical Society this weekend.

The society has painstakingly assembled the few remnants of Lenape Park, which – from the early 1920s until its recent years as the Brandywine Picnic Park – formed vivid summer memories for generations of families. There has been major research into the tangled succession of owners of the park, as well as conflicting accounts of what attractions used to be inside the place.

Text panels lay out the story, with photos of some of the treasured rides and attractions that will certainly spark some memories. The story is traced from the 1890s to today through postcards from the 1900s, a wonderful display case holding a Lenape knockdown figure, brass rings from the carousel, park tickets and more.

Newspaper articles reproduced on the text panels convey some of the excitement – and the exaggeration – about the park, as tiny as it was.

There’s a carnival mirror that used to hang on the bumper cars building, so visitors can play with their distorted reflections inside the exhibit.

The Fun House at Lenape is captured in photographs, including the “Laughing Lady” face that hung on the building, and the trick couch and conveyor belt that scooted visitors out of the building at the end of their tour.

There are photos of the carousel, which once had 48 Dentzel figures before they were sold in 1979 by the then-owner of the property, outraging the local community.

Visitors will see a battered carousel horse from the first incarnation of the carousel, however, which predates the Dentzel figures.

Anyone who has been whipped around the track of Lenape’s wooden roller coaster will love the photos and stories about the 1,400-foot “Scenic Railway,” as it was called. The image of the first hill climb – when young riders could think about the deadly drop just over the peak – brings back all kinds of memories.

The swimming pool at the park is also documented, from its origins as a man-made swimming hole to a 1929 cement pool. The pool is gone now, filled in and covered over. And the legendary Old Fiddlers Picnic, which was held at Lenape for several years, is spotlighted as well in stories and photographs.

One section of the exhibit is devoted to the rambling dance hall building that remains as a ruin across the Brandywine Creek from Lenape Park. The convoluted history of the place is unraveled in the text panels, beginning in the 1890s as a dance hall to lure riders to take the trolley to the site. There’s a dazzling archival photo of the place in its original condition, with an extensive riverside boardwalk.

The exhibit traces owners John Gibney -- who hosted dances there until 1937 – and then T. Frank Walsh, who lived in the huge dance hall from the late 1930s until his death in 1968. Walsh sometimes

repaired canoes for Lenape Park, and filled the building with broken paddles and handpainted signs. A few of his whimsically named paddles are hanging in the exhibit, as well as the Ticket Office sign that once hung above the door of the dance hall.

After Walsh died, the building became the home and studio of artist Tom Bostelle, who created epic paintings and bronze shadow sculptures there, until his death in 2005. There are two shadow sculptures on display, as well as a Bostelle drawing of a tiger figure from the Lenape carousel.

The dance hall is now only a crumbling ruin, with an eccentric history that is finally set down in print in this exhibit for the first time.

The other half of the exhibition is devoted to the Chadds Peak Ski Area, which began in 1964 and entertained

decades of visitors with its low-thrills slope. While the attraction finally closed in 1989 after warming weather whittled its operating season to less than two months, the photographs and text show a lively spot that once even hosted the West Chester Ski Team. There’s a mannequin dressed in a ski team jacket, with a painted mural by local artist Jacalyn Beam suggesting the scale of Chadds Peak in its heyday.

With all the reminiscing that visitors are bound to be doing, there’s a notebook to record your own memories of Lenape Park and Chadds Peak, as well as very fun mugs and coasters with images from the parks that are for sale in the gift shop. Taking home a souvenir is, sadly, as close as you’ll come to getting a piece of these two vanished attractions.

Last month, it was announced that the present owners of Brandywine Picnic Park are looking to sell the property one last time.

“Thrills, Hills and Spills: Lenape Park and Chadds Peak” has an opening reception on April 5 from 6 to 8 p.m. The exhibit continues through the end of 2019. Admission is free.

The Chadds Ford Historical Society is at 1736 N. Creek Rd., Chadds Ford. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visit www.chaddsfordhistory.org.

Born in Oxford, he was the son of the late George H., Sr., and Edith Nixon Havelow. George was a veteran of the U.S. Army, serving in the Vietnam War in the 101st Airborne Division. He retired from Lukens Steel after 27 years of service as an electrician.

He is survived by five sons, Jeff Havelow of New York, Kevin Havelow of New Castle, Del., Matthew Havelow of Philadelphia, George H.

She was the loving wife of Joseph P. Chamberlain, with who she shared 33 years of marriage.

She was born in West Grove, and was the daughter of the late James and Virginia Heath.

Judy had a strong faith in the Lord, shared that with others and always knew where she was going. She was a devoted and loving wife, mother, nanny, sister, and aunt. She enjoyed reading, fishing, and planting flowers, but most of all she enjoyed spending time with her family and being a nanny to all her grandchildren that she loved and cherished so much.

She is survived by her husband, Joseph P.

Plenty of family fun at Brandywine Hills Point-to-Point The 77th Brandywine Hills Point-to-Point will be held on Sunday, April 7, at the Myrick Conservation Center in Pocopson Township.

This annual event is an opportunity to see steeplechase racing at its finest over a 318-acre property, including as many as 17 jumps. In addition to the chance to watch the horses and riders traverse the course, there are plenty of activities for children.

The gates open at 11 a.m., and the races begin at noon, along with a host of children’s events. There will be Pennies in the Hay, during which the kids are invited to scour a stack of hay for coins. There will also be an opportunity to express their creativity with mural painting. For kids who are eager to memorialize their visit to the point-to-point, there is

a photo booth where they and their friends can take shots with their phones or cameras. Also included in the offerings are Lenape Lore and Ponyless Steeplechase.

Perhaps the most popular youth events are the lead line and stick pony races.

Children as young as 3 years old are invited to race to a finish line while riding their own stick ponies. For those who want to ride, the lead line pony races begin at 1:15 p.m.

The children mount their ponies, and the parents lead them along a short course for the prize.

Shortly after the youth races comes the Radnor Hunt foxhound parade.

Children who attend the races will also be pleased to see small, medium and large pony races.

The races begin at noon with the Field Master Chase. It is followed by

the children’s races, with the adult Ladies Race resuming at 1:45 after the parade of hounds.

The Heavyweight race is at 2:15 p.m.; the Novice Race is at 2:45 p.m.; the Open Race is at 3:15 p.m.; and the Owner-Rider Foxhunter’s Race closing out the day at 3:45.

Visitors are invited to purchase $10 raffle tickets for chances on prizes that range from artwork and restaurant meals to tickets for other horse events, including Devon Horse Show box seats.

The Brandywine Hills Point to Point races are sponsored by the Radnor Hunt. Food is available for purchase. The Myrick Conservation Center is in Pocopson Township along Route 842, six miles west of West Chester and three miles east of Unionville.

General admission parking is $20.

Dinniman and Game Commission visit bear den It’s not every day you get to hold a bear cub and live to tell the tale, but state Senator Andy Dinniman recently had the chance to do just that.

Dinniman and fellow members of the Pennsylvania Senate Game and Fisheries Committee joined Pennsylvania Game Commission staff of wildlife conservation professionals as they went den-to-den checking on the health of hibernating mama bears and their cubs at State Gamelands 108 in Cambria County.

Dinniman called the trip an extremely informative and memorable experience.

“To see these animals in their natural habitat was incredible. And to have the opportunity to hold a baby bear, look into their eyes and learn so much about them, gives you a new sense of appreciation for the staff of the game commission and our other wildlife and conservation professionals throughout the Commonwealth,” he said.

Statewide, there are around 75 female bears with radio collars. Game Commission biologists and veterinarians pinpoint the location of bear dens through the radio signal and sedate the mother bears right in the den.

They then conduct a health assessment of the bear that includes, taking blood samples, checking their teeth and skin, and adjusting their radio collars as needed to allow room to grow.

The cubs also receive health assessments.

Dinniman had the opportunity to hold a young cub but had to do so with care due to its massive, sharp claws.

“The Commonwealth’s bear population is strong and healthy thanks to the hard work and dedication

of the game commission and its staff,” he said.

Pennsylvania’s black bear population has been steadily increasing for decades, from around 4,000 in the 1970s to nearly 20,000 today, according to the Pennsylvania Game Commission. Although three species of bears inhabit North America, only the black bear is found in Pennsylvania.

Adult black bears usually weigh around 200 pounds, but males can be as much as 600 pounds or more.

They measure about three feet high when on all fours or about five to seven feet tall when standing upright.

Despite their intimidating appearance and size, bears are surprisingly agile; they can run up to 35 miles per hour, climb trees and swim well. They may live up to 25 years in the wild, according to the Pennsylvania Game Commission.

Black bears are intelligent and curious.

Studies show that bears can see colors, recognize human forms, and notice even the slightest movement, according to the Pennsylvania Game Commission.

Bears usually rely on their acute sense of smell and, to a lesser degree, hearing, to locate food and danger.

Despite their common name, black bears are not always black. They may be cinnamon or, even rarer, blond. Many bears have a white blaze or “V” on their chest.

Bears are usually dormant in winter, remaining in their dens, which can be rock caverns; excavated holes beneath shrubs, trees or deadfalls; in hollow trees; or nests built on the ground. A hibernating bear’s heart rate and breathing slow, and its body temperature drops slightly. During this time, they do not eat, drink

Senator Dinniman holds a black bear cub during a recent trip to State Gamelands 108 in Cambria County with the Pennsylvania Game Commission. Cubs can grow from as light as 10 ounces at birth to as much as 10 pounds by the time they leave the den in early April, according to the Pennsylvania Game Commission.

or pass body wastes. A hibernating bear relies on stored fat to make it through the winter, however, they may emerge if disturbed.

In Pennsylvania, bears mate primarily from early June to mid-July, according to the Pennsylvania Game Commission.

Boars (males) are very aggressive towards each other at this time. Sows (females) give birth in January to litters of one to five. The newborn

cubs are blind, toothless, and covered with short, fine hair that seems to inadequately cover their pink skin. Cubs begin nursing immediately after birth and are groomed and cared for daily by the sow.

Nurtured with the sow’s rich milk, they grow from as light as 10 ounces at birth to as much as 10 pounds by the time they leave the den in early April.

While Dinniman said he enjoyed the rare

opportunity to get up close and personal with the bears, he warned the public that this was only done in a controlled situation under the guidance and care of professionals.

“Please, don’t try this at home,” he said. “In the rare instance that you encounter a bear or bear cub, follow the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s advice: alert the bear, get back, stay calm, and pay

attention. In most cases, a bear will detect you first and leave the area long before you’ll ever see it.”

The game commission conducts similar health assessments of other animals, including ducks, geese, and elk.
