Republican Committee endorses Roe as write-in candidate for 158th District By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer Between now and April 26, the date the Republican Primary will narrow down the list of candidates for the House seat in the 158th District, Eric Roe will be doing a lot of walking. He’ll have to, because on

March 31, members of the Republican Committee of Chester County voted to endorse Roe as a write-in candidate to replace Kennett Square attorney Leonard Rivera, who dropped out of the race as a write-in candidate, after allegations surfaced that he did not properly acquire petition

signatures. Roe said the walking and knocking on doors he’s about to do is not the first time he pounded the pavement for a good cause. In 2008, he weighed over 315 pounds, and in an effort to lose weight, he began a rigorous commitment to fitness that saw him apply

ten-pound ankle weights and walk more than eight miles every night after work. He lost over 100 pounds in less than one year. In the next three weeks, he’s likely to lose a few more. With the support of over 75 volunteers, “I knocked Continued on Page 9A

‘Never give up, never give in’ By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer

It’s a Monday morning in mid-March and a miracle is about to happen in Marie Beattie’s kitchen. She fastens her daughter, Corey, into an innovative, free-standing harness system that has been installed in the kitchen of the home. Corey stands up steadier and straighter than she has in more than five years. The harness system moves along a track and is specifically designed for her weight so that she Courtesy photo can move the bar that is Corey Beattie has seen positive benefits from working in the Go Baby Go Café on attached to two poles that the University of Delaware STAR Campus in Newark, Del. run the length of the kitch-

en, giving her the ability to stand and walk around the room on her own. Marie says that the harness looks like something that Corey could wear while jumping out of an airplane, or perhaps zooming along a zipline, but its purpose is much more basic than that: it prevents Corey from losing her balance and falling. Marie stays close behind, but that is only a precaution. Marie tells her daughter that she has eggs, fruit, yogurt, and cereal as breakfast options. Corey chooses the cereal. But instead of Marie getting Continued on Page 4A

East Marlborough residents turn out to hear details of Route 1 improvements By John Chambless Staff Writer The crowded Route 1 corridor through East Marlborough Township is a challenge for commuters and residents alike, and an overflow crowd came to the

East Marlborough Township Building on April 4 to find out what changes are in store for the busy commercial zone. Frank Eells, project manager, said the upcoming PennDOT roadwork project will slightly widen the

roadway and smooth out the rough pavement from the Longwood Gardens overpass to the Kennett Bypass split. The most noticeable change will be three full traffic lanes in each direction. While there are three lanes already in place, the outer edge func-

tions more as a shoulder at present. When the project is finished, there will be three lanes and curbing, but no shoulder. Eells said there will be a sidewalk added to the north side of Route 1, and a portion of the corner near the

On the brink of the big time, a star pitcher prepares for her last local season By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer The March 21 softball game between Henderson and Avon Grove was postponed, but neither the imperfect conditions of Avon Grove’s home field nor the swirling early spring winds stopped new head coach Mike Deluzio from scattering his team around for an impromptu practice. Many of the faces that had become familiar to those who have followed

Avon Grove softball in recent years were noticably absent. Former coach Julie Hatfield is now operating Julie Hatfield Fitness, LLC. Gone, too, are the team’s familiar players, like Courtney Gall, Ally Volko and Courtney Coppock, who helped the Red Devils finish 20-5 overall in the 2015 season. As the cold breezes swept through the infield and Deluzio pitched from behind a protective fence in front of the pitcher’s

mound, the lone senior on the team stood at shortstop. She wore oversized sunglasses and a bright yellow jersey, on which a small green ‘O’ was imprinted. The letter, which appeared as if it were pinched on both top and bottom, was unmistakable, and to the young woman who wore it, the shirt represented both an end and a new beginning. When she arrives at the University of Oregon next fall, Maggie Balint will finally say good bye

to the fields that dot the Ches-Mont League softball landscape like poorly- manicured afterthoughts. When she committed to Oregon last September, she signed on to play four seasons at the sparkling new Jane Sanders Stadium, before crowds that will average close to 2,000 a game. She signed on to play for head coach Mike White who, in his six years as coach, has compiled a 280-83-1 record, and led the Ducks Continued on Page 2A

to three Pac-12 titles. She signed on to attend one of the most prestigious universities in the Pacific Northwest, three thousand miles from Chester County, as one of the top recruits in the nation. For good reason: Balint compiled a 51-18 record, a 0.60 ERA and 951 strikeouts in her first three years at Avon Grove, while holding her opponents to a .113 batting average. She was the two-time Pennsylvania State Gatorade Player of the Year in 2014 and 2015, and the Pennsylvania High School Softball Association Player of the Year in 2014. “The thing that I love most about watching Maggie pitch is her competitive nature,” Deluzio said. “People know that Maggie has great speed and spin, and can throw different pitches, but Maggie is not just a pitcher who throws. She a pitcher who thinks. She wants to beat you with her mind before she beats you with her arm. Her pitches are thought out and planned and then executed. Maggie has worked hard to get where she is. That’s a tribute to what hard work and planning will get you.” As she embarks on what will be her final season at Avon Grove, however, Balint will get one last moment on the hill, to add to what has been a spectacular career. While she has personal goals still to achieve at Avon Grove -- to notch her 1,000th strikeout, and to be named the state’s Gatorade Player of the Year

for the third consecutive year -- there is no apology needed for any inclination she has to look ahead -toward Oregon. “I tell my parents all the time, ‘I’m ready to go to college,’” Balint said. “I’m 18 now, I’m more mature, I’m ready to go. I have a lot of responsibilities, but I still feel as if I’m living the way I have been for the longest time.” Still, there’s a season to play, and with it, the pressure to live up to not only past seasons, but prove to everyone who sees her that she is indeed worthy of playing at the Division 1 level. “Now I feel like I need to play at the same caliber as those who play in the Pac12, and I still have a season ahead of me,” she said. “I don’t think it gets easier. In fact, it gets harder. You’re consistently comparing yourself to other players, and mentally it’s draining, because you’re practicing so much. That’s what it has come down to.” For the past three seasons of Avon Grove softball, the eyes of the Ches-Mont may have been clearly on Balint, but the unquestionable leader of those teams was catcher Alyssa Herion, who served as Balint’s battery mate and on-the-field soul partner. Inning after inning, game after game, it was a partnership built on the unspoken language of signals and intuition. At no time was their relationship so locked in than the afternoon of March 23 of last year, when Balint recorded a career high 24 strikeouts in an eight-inning, 2-0 vic-

tory over Henderson. Herion is now a freshman at West Chester University, where she has already clubbed six home runs and driven in 20 runs for a team that is 25-3 so far this season. In contrast, a look around the diamond reveals a team chock full of freshman and sophomores, whose inexperience at the varsity level is expected to place more reliance on Balint’s pitching in order to win this season. “This team is completely different from last year,” said Balint, who was named captain of the team. “For me to look at them and realize that there’s no seniors gets me more excited to go. As a team, I’m looking for us to learn from each other. “I know it’s a younger squad, so I hope to give a lot of information to the younger athletes. On the mental and leadership side, it’s going to be different, because a lot of my teammates haven’t yet seen this level before. I think for the first few games and when we play out of conference, it’s going to hit them that it’s completely different than the level they’re used to playing at travel ball.” Replacing Herion behind the plate will be freshman Olivia Kunitsky, who admitted that she is nervous to know that she will be the battery mate for one of the nation’s most recruited high school softball players. “I just want to catch Maggie really well, and not allow a lot of balls to go by,” Kunitsky said. “Maggie shows a lot of leadership, so I kind of see it as a way to learn from her, so that as I

get older, I can be a leader, too.” “We are a young team and balance is a key of life,” Deluzio said. “I believe the attention that Maggie gets is first well-deserved, and second comes with the territory of being a pitcher. It is like being the quarterback of a

team: all eyes are on you. As far as our young players are concerned, they understand Maggie gets attention but it does not diminish from their accomplishments. As a matter of fact it works as an advantage, and raises a standard to play at a higher level. Our players

can match her intensity -in drills, in desire and in effort. “They know that we win or lose as a team and everyone has the responsibility to be prepared.” This season, Maggie Balint will walk out to the pitcher's mounds of several fields in Chester County for the last time. There, she will train her focus completely on the catcher. She will block out everything else around her. She will go into her trademark wind up, and suddenly, the softball will appear from somewhere not entirely known or understood to the batters who will face her -- an optical illusion that vanishes into the catcher’s glove in the blink of an eye. Fire. Pop. Good bye. The physical formula of her movements that have given her the ability to pitch a softball are expected to remain the same when Maggie Balint arrives at the University of Oregon this fall. Everything else around her, however, will most definitely change. To contact Staff Writer Richard L. Gaw, e-mail rgaw@chestercounty.com.

be additional traffic signals for the expanded three lanes, and the median wall will be extended from Bayard Road to Ladbrooke Lane. “There will be an adaptive traffic signal system,” Eells said. The computerized system will adapt itself to traffic conditions, altering stop and go lights according to the amount of traffic. Two cameras will be installed so PennDOT can monitor traffic conditions. No additional land will be taken to allow for the widening, Eells said, since it will all be within the right-of-way. “A design will be completed by the summer of 2017,” he said, “and construction should start in the spring of 2018. It will take four to five months to complete.” The cost is estimated to be $5 million in federal money. A home on the southern edge of the Unionville Historic District, at 101 Poplar Tree Road, was the focus of a lengthy discussion between neighbors, the Board of Supervisors and Brian Harlan, one of two investors in the property. The home, which sits on a 1.7-acre corner lot, needs restoration. Harlan was seeking a vote from the board about whether he could demolish the home, which he says would cost too much to refurbish by itself. Or, to pay for saving the historic home, Harlan said, a new home could be built on the lot next to it. “Ideally, we’d like to take off the back portion of the home, which is not historic,” Harlan said, “and put on a new addition with a kitchen and bedroom, and keep the existing structure. We’d like to restore the home.” Two neighbors expressed concern that if the demolition goes ahead, it would set a bad precedent for homeowners in the Historic District who could then do what they wanted with their properties. Township solicitor Frone Crawford clarified the debate, saying, “If the subdivision plan is approved, they would fix the old home and build a new home on the lot. Without the subdivision, they can build a larger home in the middle of the property and the old home would stand empty as an accessory building, not a house. They would have to maintain the exterior, according to the zoning ordinance.” Harlan said the home was purchased with the hope that it could be saved, but to pay for it, there has to be some sort of additional home built on the lot. Supervisors visited the home to see its condition last month. Supervisor John Sarro said “our recommendation is to allow you to tear down the back of the building and put up a new addition to save the historic part.” Supervisor Eddie Caudill said “renovations would not take a lot of money. The

floors in there are beautiful. I’m totally against tearing it down.” The board voted unanimously to deny a demolition permit. Harlan admitted, “I think we’re fighting a losing battle with the Zoning Hearing Board. We’d like support for a subdivision to be able to put a new structure onto the existing home and build a second home on the lot to make it financially viable, but we don’t want to fight the neighbors. We’re not going to take the back of the building off and expose it and put money into repairing the outside to protect it if we’re just going to be building a new home in the middle of the lot. We’re going to leave it as-is and that’s it.” The fate of the property remains up in the air, since any changes would have to be approved by the Zoning Hearing Board and the Historic and Architectural Review Board. Toward the end of the meeting, the board discussed a police agreement with West Marlborough Township. “We’ve been in touch with West Marlborough about a reduction in hours and an amendment in scope of service,” said board chairman Richard Hannum. The revised police services provided to West Marlborough would be a monthly amount of 12.5 hours, at the rate of $80 per hour, for a total of $1,000 monthly. Supervisor Bob Weer objected to the deal. “We have a Chief of Police in East Marlborough and he’s scheduled to work 40 hours a week for East Marlborough, and now he’s providing coverage for West Marlborough. I don’t think it’s right to permit our Chief of Police to perform duties in a neighboring township,” Weer said. “All

U-CF School Board votes to eliminate decile ranking By John Chambless Staff Writer

After hearing months of sometimes emotional testimony on both sides of the issue, the UnionvilleChadds Ford School Board on March 28 voted to drop decile ranking for Unionville High School students. The rankings, which were formerly supplied on transcripts for college applications, were seen as a detriment to students with very high grade point averages who nevertheless did not fall within the top two or three points of their class. In the past several months, the board has heard from dozens of parents who wanted to keep the rankings as a way of giving their children a leg up in the college admissions process, and from students and parents who said the rankings kept worthy students out of the race. Several surrounding school districts have stopped issuing decile ranks for their students.

Beginning next year, all students in the school will get one of the notebook devices to use in class and at home. After lengthy debate over the past several meetings, the board said parents will have three options: – Buying a Chromebook at cost from the district (about $266) and owning the device. The cost will include insurance. – Students can also be issued a Chromebook to take home during the school year, while the district retains ownership of the device. The fee will be $20 for insurance against loss or damage. The units will be returned to the school at the end of the year. – Students could also get a district-owned Chromebook and take the device home during the year, free of charge. There will be no insurance, so families will be responsible for loss or damage. To contact Staff Writer John Chambless, email jchambless@chestercounty. com.

for a well-rounded student profile in their admission decisions. The board voted 7 to 2 to end the decile reporting, and will instead offer ranges of GPA scores on college applications. Board members Robert Sage and Michael Rock voted against eliminating the decile rankings. Rock said that the GPA distribution plan devised by the administration is basically the same thing as providing decile ranking. Sage felt that top students should be rewarded for their work. As part of the compromise, the board said they would discuss including the single top GPA of each year’s class in the school profile. The matter will be discussed in April. Students in the top 5 percent of their class will be recognized at the graduation ceremony as “Principal Scholars.” All students with a GPA of 4.0 or higher will be recognized in the commencement program.

this could be handled by parttime officers. I don’t think East Marlborough should subsidize police protection in a neighboring township. “We hired a part-time police officer and we also hired a part-time person who works in the police office,” Weer added. “I think he’s spreading himself too thin with these other responsibilities. On principle, I’m not in favor of this.” Chief Robert Clarke, who was in the audience, bristled at Weer’s comments. “You get me for 40 hours,” he said. “What I do on my time is my business. The former Chief of Police did not choose to work anything else. As a favor to the township, I work those other details. You’re getting your money’s worth out of me. I feel like I’m being scapegoated here, and I don’t appreciate it. This is a personnel issue, and should not be in a public forum.” Hannum asked Clarke, “From the staff as it stands now, with two part-time people, do you feel like you can cover West Marlborough as has been agreed to?” “Yes sir. No problem,” Clarke replied. The deal with West Marlborough Township was approved by a vote of 4 to 1.

the cereal for her daughter, as she would have last year or even last month, Corey starts moving on her own. She heads to the cabinet where the cereal bowls are located. She needs some help because the bowls are on a shelf that she can’t reach. Marie gets the bowl and hands it to her daughter. Next, Corey heads to the refrigerator, where she picks up the milk that she will need. She’s walking and holding a bowl simultaneously. A moment later, she is sitting at the table and pouring the cereal into a bowl and adding the milk. The chore is one that most twenty-three-yearolds do without thinking, but for Corey these tasks represent how far she has come since that fateful fall night in October of 2010. “It’s been consistent progress, but super slow,” Marie explained. “She has never plateaued.” There is no plateau in sight, either. Marie asks Corey what their mantra is. “Never give up, never give in,” Corey replied. The accident and its aftermath Corey enjoyed an evening spent line-dancing with friends on Oct. 2, 2010, a Saturday. Her 18th birthday was three weeks away. She was a senior at Avon Grove High School, and with her time as a high school student dwindling to just a few months, she was looking forward to studying culinary arts at Johnson & Wales University in Rhode Island. The friends were on their way home shortly after 1 a.m. As they pulled up to the intersection of Route 841 and Route 896, they

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6, 2016

were about a mile from Corey’s house in New London Township. No one knows exactly how the accident occurred, but as the vehicle that Corey was riding in attempted to make a left turn onto Route 896, it was struck by a truck heading north on Route 896. The other passenger in the car suffered injuries, but Corey was the one most seriously injured. Emergency responders worked for two hours to free her from the wreckage before she was airlifted to the Christiana Hospital. Corey suffered a broken neck, a fractured clavicle, multiple pelvic fractures, and a fracture of the right femur, but it was the global brain trauma that would alter the course of her life. In the days immediately following the accident, Corey couldn’t squeeze her mother’s hand or tell her if she was scared. While Corey was still laying in a bed in the intensive care unit, Marie decided that she was going to treat her like the day before the accident. She also decided that, for her daughter’s sake, she would never accept what others said is possible. She wanted her daughter to live the life that she wanted before the accident—to graduate from high school, to become a chef, to get married. “On the outside, you have to present the belief that, of course she’s going to walk again, and go to college,” Marie explained, “but inside, there’s a secret place where you have doubts. But then you have hope, and you have to keep going.” Traumatic brain injuries Corey spent three weeks in the intensive care unit

hooked up to machines to keep her alive. It was during this time that Marie started to learn about the true impact that traumatic brain injuries can have. “We had no idea what a traumatic brain injury was,” Marie recalled. “In Hollywood, on TV, when a person comes out of a coma, they wake up, stand up, and remember almost everything.” Real life is not like Hollywood. After spending three weeks in intensive care, Corey was transferred to the Bryn Mawr Rehabilitation Hospital for acute care rehabilitation on Oct. 22. Doctors cautioned Marie that it would be a long road to recovery for her daughter. One of the challenges for doctors and researchers working to help traumatic brain injury survivors as they rehabilitate is the fact that no two injuries are

exactly alike. “Traumatic brain injuries are like a person’s fingerprints—no two survivors are the same,” Marie explained. The fact that each traumatic brain injury case is unique makes insurance issues that much more complicated as well. In January of 2011, Marie was told that Corey would have to go home even though her daughter was in the earliest stages of rehabilitation. Marie fought to get more inpatient rehabilitation so that her daughter could re-learn how to do the simplest things—to hold her head up, to cough, or to blink. “I knew that she would never get the level of rehabilitation that she needed at that point at home,” Marie explains. “They wanted her to go to a nursing home, but she was seriously disabled, and her

age was an issue.” Corey ended up receiving about seven months of in-patient rehabilitation when the national average is between 21 days and 100 days. Corey returned home in June of 2011 to start the next phase of therapy. She needed significant speech therapy and physical therapy, but she could only do so much. Once again, Marie had to work hard to get her daughter the therapeutic treatment that she needed—as much as 15 professional hours of therapy per week. Even though Marie was elated by each small step toward recovery, the progress was slow. “I saw consistent progress,” Marie explained. “It was slow, but we saw something—speech, movement, cognitive awareness. Each

day it was something. If she didn’t have the level of consistent rehabilitation then, she wouldn’t be where she is today.” Marie has been an advocate for legislation that would require insurance companies to work with families to get the services that a traumatic brain injury survivor needs. An inspiration to others Soon after Corey suffered her injuries, Marie started keeping a blog at www.carepages.com to document her daughter’s progress. “We’ve been writing that for five years,” she said. “There are thousands of people following the story.” Marie said that the family has received letters and emails from people all around the world who

have been inspired by Corey’s story. Part of the reason that Marie writes the blog is because she wants to spread awareness about what families experience when a loved one suffers a traumatic brain injury. “They call TBI the silent epidemic,” Marie explained. “The survivor is the most affected, but it impacts the whole family and her friends, too.” Corey’s sister, Caitlin, has been working with Jon Ristaino of Farmcat Media, documenting her progress through photos and videos, some of which have been posted on YouTube and garnered thousands of views. Corey’s older brother, John Paul, has been working on developing an auditory app that will help with auditory therapy. Marie is advocating for legislation that would require insurance companies to work with families to get the services that a traumatic brain injury survivor needs. She hopes that people will have a better understanding of what traumatic brain injury survivors live through. “Traumatic brain injuries can happen to anyone— these injuries can come from playing sports, or from a fall, or from an accident. Strokes can cause them. Traumatic brain injuries can touch everybody. Advocacy is so critical. Once you injure your head you live with

that for the rest of your life. Corey is the pebble in the water causing a ripple— her family, her friends, the community, people from all over have been affected by her story.” The road to recovery widens Last September, Marie arranged to take Corey to the Cerebrum Health Center in Dallas, Texas for a week of intensive therapy focusing on improving her vision. The Cerebrum Health Center has a special OVARD machine, which Marie said was reminiscent of something that NASA might have, that targets Corey’s vestibular system which affects balance and special orientation. She sits in the chair and spins at a specific angle, roll, and speed that targets her motion abilities, or motion profile. At that point, Corey wasn’t able to stand for any length of time. But the therapy at the Cerebrum Health Center, which was targeted on the brain stem, greatly improved her balance and focus. “What we found,” Marie explained, “is that she was standing straighter, walking better, and becoming more alert.” The positive experiences at the Cerebrum Health Center were followed by the opportunity at the Go Baby Go Café. She was selected to be just the second person to work in the Go Baby Go Café on the University of Delaware STAR Campus in Newark,

Del. Here, survivors of traumatic brain injuries utilize a body weight support system that was invented and developed by Enliten, LLC to work in a café. This would allow the individuals to receive physical therapy based on real-world actions in a setting that would allow for social interaction. Corey worked in the café for six hours a week for six weeks in November and December of 2015. Dr. Cole Galloway, a University of Delaware professor in the physical therapy department, had been working for many years on research with children with developmental disabilities, and he approached Enliten about building a harness system that would improve the mobility of children who have difficulties walking or crawling on their own— hence, the name Go Baby Go. It also became apparent to researchers that the harness system could have wider purposes than simply aiding children who needed help walking or crawling. There could be benefits for people with traumatic brain injuries or the elderly—anyone who needed help with balance. Over time, Enliten developed the concept and built the system now used at the STAR Campus. Enliten also invented the portable system that was installed in Marie’s home. Devina Kumar, a Ph.D. student in the Department of Physical Therapy at the University of Delaware, is leading two research projects under the Go Baby Go banner— the café and the harness house.

directions while preventing falls,” Kumar explains. “It’s easy to set up and is inexpensive. This lowtech device is perfect for people with traumatic brain injuries to set up in their home in order to

“Traumatic brain injuries are like a person’s fingerprints— no two survivors are the same.” ~ Marie Beattie give them some functional mobility and the chance to move around again.” Marie said that she saw tremendous improvement in Corey during her time at the café. “I have often said that watching Corey as her brain heals is like watching an old wooden foot-bridge being built,” she explains. “Each new connection is a plank. Unfortunately, not all the planks line up or are easily strung together. After all this time, there are still some planks that are missing. The café has helped her find her missing pieces. When Corey works in the café, her movements in the kiosk, coupled with the interaction with customers and her co-workers, ties each connection. The café has tied years of separate physical, occupational, speech, cognitive, emotional and behavioral therapies, immersing her in a real-world workplace. The strides that Corey made during the last five years has taken a giant leap forward with her work at the café.” Goals for 2016 On Jan. 1 of this year, Marie and Corey talked about their plans for the year ahead. Corey’s goals

added challenge of losing their place socially. “All her friends moved away because they’ve gone to college and they have jobs,” Marie explained. “How do we get her back out into the community to meet friends? She wants everything that a normal twenty-three-year-old wants, but because of the injuries she’s still restricted. The harness system will help her daily rehab. She still has the dream of becoming a chef.” Corey still goes to the Go Baby Go Café two days a week to cut up salads, make sandwiches, and run the cash register. At home, she is able to get her own breakfast and stand at the counter while she cuts up a salad. She is also collecting information for a cookbook that she is putting together. During a recent fundraiser for the harness house at Not Your Average Joe’s in Glen Mills, Corey was standing in a professional kitchen. There were certainly days during the last five years when Corey’s dream of becoming a professional chef seemed far away. “The objective with everything that Corey does now is to get her to do it for herself,” Marie explained. “To get her to be independent. Ultimately, all of this will be to get her back in a kitchen to be a chef.” Corey nods her head in agreement at this and Marie smiles. “There are days that can be really hard and frustrating,” Marie said, “but every day is another step forward.”

to Traumatic Brain Injury survivors. It’s an ambitious list, to be sure, but things that once seemed impossible are now very much possible. There are still challenges to overcome. Corey’s short-term and long-term memory remains poor. If Corey is struggling to remember a recent visitor’s name, for example, Marie will ask her to describe the visitor’s hair. “I try to re-train her memory,” Marie explained. “We do a a lot with mental strategies. If Corey can’t remember a person’s name, I will ask her to picture the person and to tell me what she sees.” Corey’s long-term memory has gaps also. Occasionally, she will ask her mother when she is going to get her driver’s license, as if she is still the effervescent high school cheerleader who was spending her weekends line-dancing with friends and dreaming of going off to college. Another challenge, Marie explained, is Corey’s age—as someone between the ages of 18 and 45, she To contact Staff Writer falls into what they call the “rehab gap.” People in this Steven Hoffman, email age group who are facing e d i t o r @ c h e s t e rc o u n t y. long rehabilitation face the com.

Letter to the Editor

Avon Grove needs a long-term Praying financial projection before earnestly for making key decisions common sense Letter to the Editor:

If you’ve had your head buried under the covers, trying to deny the existence of Donald Trump as a serious contender for the Presidency of the United States, this past week gives you some reason to peek out, just a bit. There is a murmur that Trump may actually be falling apart. Yes, clear-thinking Americans have supposed the same thing in the past few months of Down-the-Rabbit-Hole politics, but perhaps this time, they are right. Putting aside the past lunacies and insults of the orange-hued candidate with no governing experience, this week has seen his campaign manager charged with battery. Trump reacted by attacking the reporter, Michelle Fields, that the manager is accused of hurting. His long and documented history of misogyny was compounded when he pondered whether women should be legally punished for having an abortion if the procedure was banned. But the worst news for Trump – and the best news for sanity – is that he has fallen behind Sen. Ted Cruz in the Wisconsin polls. A loss there on April 5 will derail Trump’s road to a delegate majority of 1,237. Cruz is no prize either, but at least he’s not a TV huckster whose one and only response to challenges is to insult and threaten anyone in his path. Trump doesn’t seem to know what he’s thinking from one moment to the next, and his debate appearances have looked like someone in an improvisational game who is making things up as he goes along. The scary part is that some people have supported him. Of course, a funny little man with big ideas promised to make a nation great again back in the 1930s. And we know how that turned out. Trump is a human whoopie cushion. Yes, he’s amusing at first for shock value, but then he’s not funny anymore. Not even a little bit. Has he survived longer than anyone thought? Yes he has. He could have strangled a baby in Times Square for the TV news crews and his backers would have applauded. Thankfully, it may not come to that. Faced with attacks from inside his own party, and from virtually every other side, Trump may finally be crumbling. If he limps away from the race, he will no doubt smirk and call it a victory. But when it comes to the standing of the United States on the world stage, it will be a moment that evokes a huge sigh of relief. We are already a laughingstock to nations with clearer thinking politicians. Let us hope that this man who could not even convincingly sell used cars will endure the kind of defeat he has wished upon others. His vague policy of hateful idiocy has no place in politics, and no place in the civilized world.

Our community is currently debating the pros and cons of adding full day kindergarten (FDK) in Avon Grove School District. The discussion, in my opinion, should be broadened to include a more complete and comprehensive look at the fiscal health of our district. No matter which side of the debate you are on, it should concern you that the school district has yet to perform a long-term financial projection. There are many serious factors that will have a lasting effect on our community, and a multi-year financial projection will help all of us to better understand the lasting impacts of these decisions. Some of the more relevant issues of importance are as follows. The school board approved the hiring of five new administrators over the past three years, each making six figures plus pension and benefits. Fullday kindergarten is being

debated, and will likely have the votes it needs to move forward for the 2017-2018 school year. STEM is being discussed and just recently the superintendent and his staff made a public presentation requesting 18 additional staff members. There is also the possibility of having to build a new school in the near future, with committees and studies being formed to explore that option already underway. The school district is currently underfunding its capital plan. That plan has an approximate overall cost of $20 million dollars, and this year’s budget only funds about $1.8 million. In order to properly and evenly fund a capital plan, you need to contribute consistent amounts over the course of typically five years. And where does this recently passed state budget place PSERs (Pennsylvania School Employees Retirement fund) annual contribution? We also are just finding out how much funding our schools will

receive from this new state budget. The district hired a new superintendent, and his vision for our community and personal judgment are causing me serious concern. There is a reason why three school board members who support full-day kindergarten voted against it recently, and I do not believe it is solely because they received calls from community members asking not to have their taxes raised. I believe those three board members are also concerned about the overall cumulative effect of everything I stated above. What happens when the school board approves fullday kindergarten and it turns out the financial projections from the Avon Grove taxpayers group is accurate? Will the school board continue to raise taxes to a tune of 30 percent over the next five to ten years? We have already experienced an 18 percent increase since the 2009-2010 school year, with tax increases during five out

of the past six years. Will a future board then have to cancel or eliminate the full-day kindergarten program? How will that affect our district, the community, and our children? I am not writing this letter to support or oppose the full-day kindergarten initiative. I am writing this to encourage our school board to direct their paid staff to perform a five-year financial projection. This will help to clearly define the complete impact that these decisions will have on our community. I am not opposed to paying more for bettering our school district. I am, however, afraid the cumulative effect of these decisions will have a crippling effect on our citizens and ultimately hurt this wonderful school district. A fully educated decision with regard to fullday kindergarten cannot be made without this financial projection. David Connors London Grove Township

Guest Column

Could Pennsylvania once again play the role of presidential kingmaker? By G. Terry Madonna & Michael L. Young A Kingmaker? On April 26 the voters of Pennsylvania finally get their say in the 2016 train wreck more formally known as the Republican presidential nomination process. The uniqueness of this opportunity needs to be noted. With one real exception (in the Democratic Party in 2008) - the late date of the Pennsylvania primary has made the state irrelevant to picking nominees in modern times. True, just four years ago (2012), the Republican nomination battle almost reached the state when twoterm Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, after winning 12 contests, dropped out of the race only days before he would have lost his own state to Mitt Romney. But other than perhaps Rick Santorum - everyone knew it was over long before Pennsylvania - it was just too late. The one that actually did matter was in the Democratic Party as noted. In 2008, Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama engaged in a six-week slugfest in the state, complete with debates, campaign stops and millions in television commercials. As one wag put it: the candidates spent enough time in the state to qualify for state residence status. But in 2016 the Democratic race is over or will be by the time the campaign bus hauls into the Keystone state. So if presidential politics is your game, the GOP race is the one to watch.

Indeed, some 82,000 thousand Pennsylvanian’s have switched their registration to Republican this year suggesting many are caught up in the intrigue, drama, and the enthusiasm of the Republican race. And why not? The state’s large cache of 71 delegates makes the state a prime target in the race for the Republican nomination. But in politics, it’s rarely simple; in Pennsylvania politics, it’s never simple. That’s because Pennsylvania Republicans choose their delegates in a manner seemingly designed to confuse both the presidential candidates and the voters. Of the 71 delegates in play this year, 54 of them are allocated to the state’s 18 congressional districts, three to each district. These delegates are unbound, free to support any candidate at any time in the nomination process regardless of which presidential candidate wins the particular CD they are running in. The other seventeen delegates include ten at- large, three party leaders and four bonus delegates. Only these 17 are bound to support the winner of the statewide vote on the first ballot. The candidate who “wins” the state with a plurality or majority of votes will be duly declared the winner in what amounts to a beauty contest. But, what happens in the congressional districts is what matters. And what happens there is anything but clear. In reality, many running as delegates will have chosen a candidate, but the ballot does not reveal these choices. So many voters can’t tie a delegate to a

presidential candidate. This bears repeating: the name of the presidential candidate does not appear on the ballot with the delegate candidate. It’s a little like the old childhood game of “blind man’s bluff.” In fact, the Pennsylvania’s presidential primary has been described as a “blind primary.” Many voters are literally blind to which presidential candidate they are voting for. As we said, it gets confusing. Especially for one Donald Trump - and anyone else trying to do the convention math requiring the nominee to get at least 1,237 delegate votes. Regardless of who wins the statewide primary, 54 delegates will be unbound on the first ballot. In short, Pennsylvania Republicans will arrive at the Cleveland convention with a delegation tailor made to be “brokered.” There is both good news and bad news for those who prefer their politics served up sizzling. First, the bad news: Pennsylvania will not matter on April 26 in putting Trump or any other candidate over the top for the nomination. If any state does that, it will be one that votes after Pennsylvania, maybe going as far as California on June 7. The convention math supports no other conclusion. Now the good news: Pennsylvania may well have a decisive role at the convention. Assuming Trump arrives at the convention just short of 1,237 delegates, the 54 unbound Pennsylvanians could play a decisive role on the first or subsequent ballots. If no

majority is reached on the initial ballot, Republicans will have their first brokered convention since 1948. And that convention required three ballots to pick the nominee. Nobody knows what will happen if the 2016 convention becomes the first GOP convention in almost 70 years to be contested. But if it happens, no one should be surprised if Pennsylvania Republicans play a decisive role in the outcome. Nor would this be an historical anomaly for Pennsylvania at brokered conventions. From the Civil War until the rise of modern presidential primaries, the Keystone state repeatedly played the role of presidential kingmaker in brokered conventions. Could that happen again in 2016? Certainly, the political stage seems set for such a role: a large uncommitted delegation anxious to be relevant again in a party undergoing its worst crisis in 80 years. Kingmaker? It does have a familiar ring to it. This is the most recent Politically Uncorrected column, jointly authored by Dr. G. Terry Madonna and Dr. Michael Young. Madonna is professor of public affairs at Franklin & Marshall College, and Young is a speaker, pollster, author, and was professor of politics and public affairs at Penn State University.

ADRIENNE PHILLIPS WICKERSHAM Adrienne Phillips Wickersham, 95, of Kennett Square, died of natural causes on March 27 at her home in Kendal at Crosslands. The older of two children, Adrienne was born to Adrienne (McMahon) and Edmund Phillips in 1920 in New York. She attended Houghton College in Houghton, N.Y., where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in communications engineering. Upon graduation, she was employed by the United States Army Signal Corps as a transmission engineer before taking a similar position with ITT, where she also held positions in systems engineering and publications administration for various ITT companies and later Computer Science Corporation. In 1946, she married Wilfred H. Wickersham, and together they raised two sons, William and Edmund, in Nutley and Upper Saddle River, N.J. Upon retiring from ITT, Adrienne enjoyed a variety of jobs in and around her community. She was administrator of the 1970 census of Bergen County, N.J., and was manager of the Upper Saddle River Swim and Tennis Club, of which she was a founding member. As one who enjoyed singing, Adrienne was a long-standing member of Sweet Adelines International. In 1977, Adrienne and Wilfred moved to Kendal Crosslands, a continuing care retirement community in Kennett Square. As founding residents, they embraced the CCRC concept and helped shape the growth and feel of their new community. She and her husband traveled extensively during their retirement and introduced an entertaining photography slide series at Crosslands called “The World Around Us,” which was always well-attended. Over the years, Adrienne held several volunteer roles at Crosslands. Much later in life, she was thrilled to become a grandmother and thoroughly enjoyed her time spent with Ed and his family. For the last several years, Adrienne had the distinction of being the last living founder of Crosslands. Adrienne is predeceased by her husband and sons. She is survived by her granddaughters, Kate and Elena; her daughter-in-law, Lisa; and her late brother Jack’s children, Larry, Beckie, and Jeff Phillips. A memorial service to celebrate Adrienne’s life and generous spirit will be held at Crosslands (1660 East Street Road, Kennett Square) at 2 p.m. on April 23. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the World Wildlife Fund (worldwildlife.org/donate) or an environmental charity of your choice.

SAMUEL THEODORE LEWIS EDWARDS Samuel Theodore Lewis Edwards, 88, peacefully passed away on March 24 after his short battle with ALS. He leaves behind his loving wife, Pat, of West Grove. Sam began his long life in Collingswood, N.J., the second son of Bob and Louise Edwards. He spent his early years in Collingswood, and honed his skills and passions as a hunter and fisher with his father and uncles in central Pennsylvania. He attended Rutgers University, and worked at a YMCA Camp in Medford Lakes in the summers where he met and eventually married Pat. He enlisted in the Marines, later transferred to the Navy, and was stationed in California. He was a decorated veteran of the Korean War and served as a Hospital Corpsman Second Class. After serving his country in Korea, he and Pat moved to the family farm in Concordville, where they built the biggest sheep farm east of the Mississippi. Love of family drove all he did. Sam served on the vestry of St. John’s Episcopal Church of Concordville, was elected as Chairman of Concord Township Supervisors, and worked tirelessly as a coach for his children’s baseball teams at Brandywine Youth Club. Sam and Pat moved to West Grove, where he continued to serve as a role model for all who knew him. When Sam and Pat moved to Chadds Ford, a new generation was able to use him as a model for their lives. Now great-grandchildren were taught to model their lives after Pop Pop. Sam and Pat attended the sports activities of their great-grandchildren, and Sam loved passing on the love of nature to them. Sam is loved and survived by his wife Pat; his daughter Cathy and husband Ken of New London; son Brad and wife Leslie of Landenberg; and son Rick and wife Debra of Chadds Ford. He was a beloved Pop Pop to his seven grandchildren and their spouses; and nine great-grandchildren. A celebration of his life will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. on April 9 at the New London Presbyterian Church (Old Church), 1986 Newark Road, New London. His memorial service will follow at 3 p.m. Burial will be private.

Local News Roe... Continued from Page 1A

on over 200 doors last weekend, and the support I’ve been getting has been tremendous,” Roe said. “When I heard the news about Lenny Rivera dropping out of the race, I was reached out to by many of my supporters, who encouraged me to throw my hat back in the ring,” said Roe, who originally announced his candidacy last December. “Of course I did. I want to be the next state representative for the 158th. I met with my supporters. I spoke with the committee, and I was really pleased to get the party’s support last Thursday night. Grassroots democracy is really a beautiful process to watch and participate in, so I was honored to get the party’s trust.” “In Eric Roe, we have a strong and energized candidate with a great resumé, who will be an independent common sense voice for families and small business owners in the 158th District. The Republican Committee is steadfast and united in their support of Eric, who will make an outstanding representative and leader,” said Val DiGiorgio, Chairman of the Republican Committee of Chester

County. “We will fight hard to ensure that Eric wins the write-in for the upcoming Republican Primary.” Roe said if elected in November, he’ll go to Harrisburg with four major initiatives: to maintain district schools as among the best in the Commonwealth; create business opportunities in Chester County; maintain a commitment to land preservation; and hold the line on tax increases. “I want to add my voice in Harrisburg to the men and women who are opposing Gov. Wolf’s tax-and-spend agenda,” he said. “This governor’s repeated attempts to raise taxes would have levied hundreds, if not more than one thousand dollars, in new or raised taxes on the average Pennsylvania family. I am a firm believer that Pennsylvania’s families know how to spend their hard-earned cash better than this governor does.” Roe, who grew up in East and West Bradford townships, has worked for non-profits and in the private sector for former DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff’s homeland security consulting firm. He currently works as the administrative analyst for Chester County Commissioner Michelle

Kichline, and on Wednesday nights, volunteers at La Communidad in Kennett Square, where he teaches a citizenship class targeted to members of the local Hispanic population who are preparing to take their naturalization tests. Although he has the backing from his fellow Republicans, Roe still has a fight ahead of him to gain the nomination, given that he’s part of a crowded field of write-in candidates. Fellow Republican Perry Bentley announced his write-in campaign for the nomination, as did Democratic candidate Susan Rzucidlo, who is also running as a write-in on the Republican ticket. “This is a primary election unlike anything I’ve ever seen,” Bentley said. “A write-in campaign over the course of [three weeks] is a very heavy lift, but I looked around and didn’t see anyone else who I thought could do the job and win, in such a short period of time. “I have talked to people who have run write-in campaigns from the level of township supervisors to the mayor of Pittsburgh,” Bentley added. “It requires a lot of voter registration, a large and robust grass roots operation and it requires resources, not just financial,

but political. I have the ability to combine all of these together to create a winning formula.” The most prominent tenet of Bentley’s platform is to continue to serve as a conservative voice in Harrisburg, and to pattern that agenda after the 158th District’s current representative. “Chris Ross has always been someone who pushes conservative reform in Harrisburg,” Bentley said. “He tries to solve problems traditionally outside of the Republican scope of conversation by talking about ways that we can pull people out of poverty, and about how we can reform government so that it works for everybody. “Chris Ross has fought the battles to reform our government in order to help everyone, and there isn’t a better model for how to win in this district than what he has done in Harrisburg for 20 years.” While he has a one-inthree chance of securing the write-in nomination on April 26, Bentley said that he is prepared for the uphill climb. When he served as a representative at a Montgomery County phone bank during the 2012 Romney presidential

campaign, he was put in charge of a facility that once served as a mattress store. One day, he received a phone call from his supervisor, telling Bentley that if he didn’t get assistance at the phone bank soon, he would be fired. “I worked hard to make it the best grassroots headquarters for the Romney campaign in Pennsylvania, possibly in the East Coast,” Bentley said. “The best thing you can do with your life is to spend every day work hard to achieve your goals. “During the last five years, 132,000 people have left Pennsylvania. That’s one person every 12 minutes. The economic opportunities are going away, with a high tax burden and the crushing pension obligation looming on the horizon. Pennsylvania cannot slip down this black hole of debt.” Rzucidlo, who is running for the House seat for the fourth time and will be the Democratic candidate in November, said that her decision to toss her name into the April 26 primary was to send registered Republicans in the district a message that she is someone who does not look at

politics as a clear delineation between parties. “The Republican voters are looking for someone who shares my values -who value someone who is going to be accountable and accessible,” she said. “This is not a Republican or a Democratic issue. It’s about [choosing a candidate] who is going to serve the people of the 158th – someone who has the experience, determination, and the willingness to serve everyone. I believe that is me. “I’ve watched as we’ve gotten more and more partisan, closing off the doors of even considering voting for something, because someone from the other side proposed it,” Rzucidlo added. “That’s what we need to move away from. We need to be able to sit down and decide that the point of being elected is working for everyone in the district -- not the party, and not looking forward to how the other team won’t get another win. How are we going to make sure that people are served appropriately? That’s what I’ll do in Harrisburg.” To contact Staff Writer Richard L. Gaw, e-mail rgaw@chestercounty.com.

PennDOT begins repaving Route 1 in southern portion of county Construction is underway on a PennDOT project to repair deteriorated pavement on two state highways in southern Chester County. Crews began work on March 29 to resurface nearly six miles of U.S. 1 between Hopewell Road and Route 896 (Newark Road) in East Nottingham, Lower Oxford, Upper Oxford and Oxford. The project is expected to

be completed in late April. Through April 2, crews worked to repair the deteriorated riding surface by milling and installing a new asphalt pavement on the four-lane expressway between Hopewell Road and Route 10, in order to provide smoother travel. Over the next four weeks, the crews will work Mondays through Saturdays from 7

p.m. to 5 a.m. to repave the highway. In addition, the ramps at the U.S. 1 interchanges at Route 472 and Route 10 will be replaced. Next, crews are scheduled to resurface just over seven miles of Route 10 (Limestone Road/Church Street/Octorara Trail) between Route 41 (Gap Newport Pike) and U.S. 30 (Lincoln Highway) in West

Fallowfield, Highland, Sadsbury and Parkesburg. That project is scheduled to begin in May and be completed June. These two projects were part of a more than $5.2 million contract awarded to Allan Myers, LP of Worcester, Montgomery County, to improve conditions on 21 total miles of state highways in Chester

County. It also included the milling and repaving of three miles of Waterloo Avenue between Sugartown Road and U.S. 30 (Lancaster Avenue) in Easttown. The work on that project was completed last July. “Daily wear and tear and severe weather can take a significant toll on our roadways and, in turn, our vehicles,” said State Sen.

Andy Dinniman. “These resurfacing projects can go a long way in improving our roads and highways while making for a smoother and safer ride for motorists and commuters.” Funding for the project comes through Act 89 of 2013, Pennsylvania’s C o m p r e h e n s i v e Transportation Funding Plan.

Coates appointed to fill East Nottingham vacancy By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer Gary Coates has been appointed to fill a vacancy on the East Nottingham Township Board of Supervisors and was expected to be sworn in

during the first township meeting in April. The vacancy has existed since November 2015 when Jane Ladley resigned from the board, leaving East Nottingham Township with four supervisors. The four supervisors could

not reach a consensus on who to appoint to fill the vacancy. When supervisor Scott Blum subsequently resigned, leaving three supervisors, a Vacancy Board comprised of the remaining supervisors and the Vacancy Board chair-

person was convened, but at that point this board was also comprised of four members and also could not reach a consensus. Once the deadline for the township to fill the vacancy passed, the matter was sent to the Chester County

Court of Common Pleas. Interested candidates had until March 18 to submit a letter of application to fill the vacancy. A hearing in the Chester County Court of Common Pleas took place on March 25. Coates joins Art Rieck,

Shelley Meadowcroft, Joe Herlihy, and Sam Goodley, Jr. on the East Nottingham Township Board of Supervisors. To contact Staff Writer Steven Hoffman, email editor@chestercounty.com.

Volunteers wanted for Christina River Watershed cleanup By Carla Lucas Correspondent This year marks the 25th annual Christina River Watershed cleanup event, when volunteers work to improve the environment throughout nearby watersheds. Volunteers are wanted for invasive plant species removal in an area along the headwaters of the Christina Creek on April 16. Work crews form at 9 a.m. Work is completed before noon. This is not only a great opportunity to volunteer

on a local project, but it is also a great way to learn how to identify and correctly remove invasive plants at your property. The volunteer effort is being held in conjunction with the London Britain Township Land Trust at London Britain Township’s Mason Dixon Greenway South park, at 1364 Flint Hill Road in Landenberg, near the intersection with Stricklerville Road. Organizer April Schmitt says they hope to remove multi-flora rose, Japanese

honeysuckle, and autumn olive shrubs from a section of the property. These plants are taking over and smothering the diversity of native plants that once grew in the area. She encourages participants to wear gloves, long-sleeved shirts and pants. Bring shovels, loppers, clippers, rakes and pry bars to help with the removal of the roots. Wheelbarrows and buckets are also helpful for removing the brush from the site. Volunteer letters are

available for those who need community service hours. Schmitt asked participants to first email her at april.schmitt27@ gmail.com. This event is open to everyone who is 16 or older. All those who register in advance receive a T-shirt. This year, participants have a choice of an official 25th anniversary Christina River Cleanup shirt or a London Britain Township Land Trust shirt. Email your preference and size (S to XL) when you register.

Oxford police investigating a series of thefts By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer The Oxford Borough Police Department is currently investigating a series of thefts in town, including one recent incident where a burglary occurred while the homeowner was at home. According to Oxford police, the burglary occurred at approximately 1:40 in the morning on March 25 at an occupied residence on Second Street between Lancaster Ave. and Mt. Vernon St. The suspect opened a window to enter the home and proceeded to take a

handbag before leaving through the same window. The suspect fled the area through a field that is northwest of the victim’s property. The Oxford police are also investigating numerous thefts from vehicles that have occurred in the vicinity of Pine Street, Mt. Vernon Street and the Brookside housing development during the past several weeks. The vehicles targeted by thieves were frequently unlocked. The Oxford police issued a reminder to residents to make sure that their homes are secured

and their vehicles are locked. Oxford Mayor Geoff Henry also said that it is always a good idea to keep personal belongings out of clear view as a precaution. Henry also asked residents to be vigilant, and to report any activity that appears to be suspicious. “If you see something,” Henry said, “say something.” At the most recent borough council meeting, Henry also talked about a March 9 incident that Oxford Borough police responded to. Officers were in the process of executing an arrest

warrant on a juvenile in the vicinity of 420 Market Street. Authorities had been looking for the suspect for a while, so when they went to execute the arrest warrant, they were assisted on the scene by an officer from West Nottingham Township. A crowd of approximately 30 people, including adults and children, gathered in the area. Once police had the suspect in their custody, the officers attempted to disperse the crowd. A fight involving two or three family members broke out inside an apartment in the rear,

Tri-M Group receives national award from Associated Builders and Contractors The Tri-M Group, LLC in Kennett Square has announced that its work on the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children Pavilion, in Wilmington, Del., has earned the company a National Excellence in Construction Pyramid Award from Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) in the Electrical Construction: Commercial $2–$10 million project category. Representatives from the company received the award March 2 during ABC’s 26th Annual Excellence in Construction Awards celebration in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. “The Tri-M Group earned the award through their dedication to safety,

quality craftsmanship and teamwork and Associated Builders and Contractors is pleased to honor them,” said 2016 ABC National Chair David Chapin, president of Willmar Electric Service in Lincoln, Neb. “From start to finish, Tri-M demonstrated a commitment to innovation and high quality construction in their work on this project, a commitment that is clearly evident in the finished product.” The hospital expansion includes 144 single patient rooms, expanded family amenities, a healing garden and a new Emergency Department.

ground floor of the building. Henry said that the officers were met at the front entrance of the building by a resident and relative of the people involved in the fight who said that the fight had been broken up by other family members. The police were told that all the people gathered around the rear lawn area of the property were residents of the building. It would be a large number of people for the five or six apartments in the building. Henry emphasized that there was never a larger disturbance during the incident, only a fight

between family members. “At no time was there a disturbance involving a larger group [of people],” Henry said. The incident touches on another issue that borough officials have been concerned with— overcrowding in some properties, particularly rental units. The borough’s Codes Department and the landlord of the property were advised of the incident to ensure that no violations were occurring.

Public meeting planned on economic development strategy for Kennett area The next meeting on the Kennett region’s economic development strategy and implementation plan will be held at 7 p.m on April 7 in the American Legion building at the corner of State and Broad Streets in the Borough of Kennett Square. The study consultants Mark Keener and Todd Poole will host this community workshop where the public will be invited to help shape the future of the Kennett area. “On April 7, you’re going to help shape our vision,” Todd Poole, president and founder of 4Ward Planning and the head of the consulting

team on the project, said in an earlier public meeting. This next meeting represents the third phase of the project, which began last year and is expected to be completed by early summer. At the meeting, the consultants from 4Ward Planning and the RBA Group will guide the community on identifying goals and visualizing a path forward for the Kennett area.

Racing the wind at Brandywine Hills Point-to-Point By Nancy Johnson Correspondent Pony racing is not for the faint of heart. It would take a lot more than Sunday’s cold wind with 50-mile-perhour gusts to deter the young riders competing at the 74th running of Brandywine Hills Pointto-Point in Unionville. With a huge smile, Anna Farber of Chadds Ford said, “I really liked riding with the wind blowing in my face. Just being there, galloping

free in the wind.” The sixth grader handily won the Large Pony race with racing pony Mookie Monster. Very excited to have just recently gotten the ride on Mookie, Anna thanked her trainer, Lauren Schock, for her help, and thanked her friends for their encouragement and support. With his win aboard Hoof Hearted in the Small Pony race, young Maryland rider Teddy Davies is two for two in the Delaware Valley

Point-to-Point series; he was also victorious at Cheshire Hunt’s Point-to-Point on Easter Sunday. “He was raced yesterday,” Davies said of his mount, “and I

thought he’d be a little tired. But it sure didn’t seem like it!” he added with a big grin. The son of two jockeys, Teddy loves riding Hoof Hearted as well as Hickory, a pony he races over fences.

Bigger and better Barn Market event expected to double in size By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer Lisa Vonderstruck of Brandywine View Antiques doesn’t really play small, and she’s not about to change now. When she first opened her eclectic showplace of vintage items and hard-tofind chestnuts in Chadds Ford several years ago, visitors had little idea what they were in for, but there it was: Three floors of an old country house overlooking Baltimore Pike that, to antique lovers, soon became a fairyland adventure. When she held her Massive Barn Market events twice a year, the priceless finds of Americana came outdoors into the store’s parking lot, as did dozens of other vendors and overflow crowds. When she moved her store a few miles north on Baltimore Pike a year ago, the same infectious enthusiasm that she had used to make her first location work came in the move. Last April, Vonderstruck moved her Massive Barn Market to the Chadds Ford Historical Society, where it drew 50 vendors, a few food trucks, and about 1,500 visitors – a first-time event that was promoted solely by social media and word of mouth.

Photo by Richard L. Gaw

Joined by her husband, Spencer Mallory, Lisa Vonderstruck of Brandywine View Antiques is co-sponsoring the Second Annual Massive Barn Market on April 16 in Chadds Ford.

Her reaction from that first event was simple, bold and definitive. “I learned that I can handle a bigger market,” Vonderstruck said. “It exceeded everyone’s expectations. The majority of the vendors were sold out by 1 p.m. It sent out the clear message that this is not a flea market, it’s not a yard sale, but a straightup killer market of great finds.” Now, it’s back, with an exclamation point. With the assistance of

the Historical Society, the Second Annual Massive Barn Market, scheduled April 16 on the grounds of the Barn Visitors Center, is inviting 80 vendors, 11 food trucks, with wine from Paradocx Vineyard and music by Silver & Campbell. “The whole thing about this event is that you’re getting the entire Brimfield experience,” Vonderstruck said, referring to the wellknown antique fair in Massachusetts that draws 20,000 vendors

and more than 200,000 visitors every year. “This is our answer on a smaller scale, but for those who can’t make it

to Massachusetts, it gives people the experience of what Brimfield is like, in one field. We cut the rope at 9 a.m., and you’re off.”

The April 16 event is expected to offer many one-ofa-kind items.

The event will draw more than 80 vendors who will showcase not only antiques, but garden, vintage, artisan and farm-fresh items.

While she pieces together the final construction of the April 16 event, Vonderstruck is already beginning to plan a second Massive Barn Market this year, which is scheduled for Oct. 8 at the Barn Visitors Center. “We have a waiting list of over 50 vendors who could not get into this spring market, so when we do it again in the fall, we’re going to make the market even bigger, and add those vendors as well,” she said. Although she is considered the “connector” responsible for bringing close to 100 vendors together on April 16, Vonderstruck looks at the Massive Barn Market as an opportunity for vendors to enjoy a common and shared experience. “It’s really a village,” she said. “This is a great team, a great place, and great vendors. Everybody who is a part of the event has already come with a following of their own, and is now to be able to display their wares in a new setting. “I love saving the past, and whatever I can do to keep that appreciation moving forward, it’s something I love to do.” The Second Annual Massive Barn Market, co-sponsored by the Chadds Ford Historical Society and Brandywine View Antiques, will be held April 16 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Barn Visitors Center (1736 Creek Rd., Chadds Ford). A $5 entry fee for nonmembers 18 and older will be donated to the Chadds Ford Historical Society educational programs. For more information, visit www. chaddsfordhistory.org.

Balint tosses five-inning no-hitter Seven-run first leads to Avon Grove’s 10-0 win By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer Moments before the start of last Friday afternoon’s Ches-Mont softball game between Avon Grove and visiting West Chester East, Vikings coach Bobby Swier said he looked forward to his team facing Maggie Balint, the fastball phenom and starting pitcher for the

Red Devils. He used the word “Respect” in referring not only to Balint, but to the entire Avon Grove team. A little more than an hour later, the word had so cemented itself into the fabric of the game’s result that it practically put on a uniform and ran the bases. Behind a seven-run first inning and Balint’s

no-hitter, Avon Grove defeated East 10-0, in a game that was called after four and a half innings because of the Mercy Rule. East starting pitcher Kristen Fuertes was knocked around early, surrendering a lead-off walk to Meghan Nolan, who moved to third on an infield single by Morgan DeFeo, and scored on an infield

Olivia McGarvey’s two singles were part of a 12-hit offensive outburst that led Avon Grove to a 10-0 victory over West Chester East on April 1.

single by Balint. Rachel Butler then doubled to left center, driving in Defeo and Balint ahead of her, advanced to third on an infield single by Olivia McGarvey, and came in to score on a single to center field by Olivia Kunitsky. After McGarvey scored on a ground out by Camryn Laterza, a bunt single by Laura Thompson put two Avon Grove runners on for Nolan, who promptly belted a two-run triple to right field to clear the bases. The Red Devils punched across three more runs in the second inning, which got started when Balint led off with her second single of the day. She advanced to second on a walk to Allyson Wallauer, and scored – along with Wallauer – on a single by Butler. McGarvey then notched her second hit of the game on a single that brought Butler in to score. Meanwhile, Balint was electric on the mound, baffling East hitters with a blazing fastball and a generous blend of off-speed pitches that led to a nine-strikeout, no-hit performance. The only trouble she had came early, in the top of the first inning, when East’s Leah Richey attempted

to slap a ball past Balint, who collared the ball in but made a wild throw over first baseman Wallauer that put Richey on third base with just one out. Balint subsequently struck out Nia Bond and got cleanup hitter Amelia Lark to ground out. The win gives Avon Grove a 2-1 record in the early season and its second consecutive

shutout, the first coming on March 30 against Unionville. The Red Devils host Kennett on April 6, then travel to Conestoga on April 8. The loss by East gives the Vikings a 1-2 record, with a home game against Great Valley scheduled for April 6. To contact Staff Writer Richard L. Gaw, e-mail rgaw@chestercounty.com.

Fans will learn more in the free multimedia presentation, “The Beatles: Band of the Sixties,” coming April 8 from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Avon Grove Library. “Most authors focus on the band’s history – and while history is both fascinating and important, the Beatles

were first and foremost musicians,” said Aaron Krerowicz, America’s only full-time professional Beatles scholar. Krerowicz specializes in analysis of the songs and the band’s musical development. “Aaron supplements his presentation with music and interview clips with the band members. It should be really fun as well as informative,” said Lori Schwabenbauer, director of Avon Grove Library.

“I’m excited to bring him here. As a public library, Avon Grove is committed to providing appealing and educational events like these to enhance the lives of our customers.” Avon Grove Library is at 117 Rosehill Ave., in the West Grove Borough Building. The program will be held in the Community Room. For more information, call 610869-2004, or visit www. avongrovelibrary.org.

Jennersville Hospital offers program for women battling cancer Jennersville Regional Hospital will present “Look Good…Feel Better,” an American Cancer Society program that teaches beauty techniques to women who are actively undergoing cancer treatment, on April 6 at 3:30 p.m. in the hospital’s Conference Room A. This free, onesession program helps attendees combat the appearance-related side effects of radiation and chemotherapy. “The concept is that women most often feel better about themselves when they’ve overcome some of the physical obstacles they encounter during cancer treatment,” said

Ellen Musser of the Jennersville Regional Hospital Cancer Program. “By giving them some tips and skills to deal with these unwanted changes, they feel more confident during what has been a very difficult period in their life. I’ve seen women’s self-esteem improve because they’ve learned several cosmetic techniques that help overcome some of the physical changes they’re experiencing.” As part of the program each woman practices techniques using products donated by the cosmetics industry through partnerships the American Cancer

Society has developed with the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association (CTFA) and the National C o s m e t o l o g y Association. The class is taught by a licensed cosmetologist who has been specially trained to assist those coping with cancer treatment. To make a reservation, call the American Cancer Society at 1-800-227-2345.
