Citing violations, supervisors vote to shut down dog park

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer It took London Grove Township more than a decade to create Goddard Park, the 125-acre testament to the generosity of

Steven and Marna Goddard.

Last Wednesday night, it took only a few minutes for the township to shut down one of the park’s most popular destination points.

By a vote of 4-0 at its April 6 board of supervi-

sors meeting, the township will close the dog park at Goddard until at least May 6, when the issue will be Photo by Richard L.

Oxford Borough Council seeks grant for parking garage

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer Oxford Borough is starting its efforts to secure funding from federal, state, and county sources to construct a 300-space parking garage in the business district.

At Monday night’s meeting, borough council approved a resolution supporting a grant application with the Chester County Department of Community Development for $1 million in funding through the 2016 Chester County

Revitalization Program grant.

This is just one grant that the borough is seeking in its bid to construct a parking garage on the parking lot owned by National Penn Bank. Just last month, Oxford Borough reached an agreement with National Penn Bank to purchase the two parcels that comprise the parking lot if plans to build the parking garage move forward. Oxford will pay $1 to acquire the rights to the two parcels.

The agreement also stipulates that the National Penn

Bank will receive 40 parking spaces in the parking garage for a period of 25 years.

Oxford Borough retained Krug Architects to do a comprehensive parking study in the latter part of 2015. That study concluded that Oxford Borough’s best option to meet the longterm parking needs in the business district was to construct a parking garage on the National Penn Bank lot.

Krug Architects has worked with other communities, including West Chester Continued on Page 3A

The Unionville-Chadds Ford School Board got a formal first look at the proposed 2016-17 school budget at their meeting on April 11. The administration’s director of business and operations, Bob Cochran, presented a thick book containing all the details to each member.

District superintendent John Sanville told the board, “The budget that we’re talking about from now until June maintains our current high level of programs and services to our students. It also invests in our students and their future. You’ll see initiatives in this budget that are going directly to the classroom and our children. There’s funding for an expanded technology initiative to bring Chromebooks to the middle school, and expand the use of our Learning Management System. You’ll find staffing adjustments to reduce class sizes and provide additional support, where needed, for our students. Finally, we have invested money for professional development

Penn Supervisors turn down Giant’s request for liquor license transfer

By Nancy Johnson Correspondent With chairman Curtis Mason abstaining, the Penn Township Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on April 6 to deny the Giant Food Stores request for the intermunicipal transfer of a Pennsylvania restaurant liquor license.

A public hearing on the subject was held just prior to the supervisors meeting.

Penn Township resident Tim Holton addressed the board for the second time in as many months regarding issues with his assigned home address. Holton and his family live on Ewing Road, but due to the way existing houses were numbered, they were assigned a

lane name. If all the homes on Ewing Road were to be renumbered to add Holton’s address, 77 families would have to change their addresses.

Holton reported on his problems with receiving mail and other deliveries, and the fact that his address does not come up on GPS. At the March board of supervisors meeting,

Holton had suggested several address numbers that were not in use on Ewing Road, but would be somewhat out of order. At that time, the board had told him if he could get the police, EMS and fire departments to sign off on it, they would have their lawyer review his request.

“We have really tried to Continued on Page 4A

so our staff will be on the forefront of effective techniques in teaching.

“We plan to do this through a 2.88 percent increase in the millage,” Sanville continued. “This reflects the use of $284,000 in exceptions, as well as $191,000 from our PSER reserves in order to offset rising PSERs contributions.

In short, this is a budget that invests in our children in a very real way, while also appreciating the investment that is made by our community.”

Cochran explained, “This budget contemplates a 2.88 percent weighted average increase in the millage.

Specifically, it is a 2.8 percent increase in Chester County and a 3.15 percent increase in Delaware County. This uses $284,000 in exceptions to allow that level of taxing above the Continued on Page 3A

The Sawmill Grill named Business of the Year in Oxford

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer When John McGlothlin found out that his Sawmill Grill had been chosen as the 2015 recipient of the Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce’s Business of the Year Award, his first reaction was to declare that the award really belonged to the people who make the restaurant what it is— specifically the staff and the customers.

“I really think it’s an Oxford award,” McGlothlin said of the Business of the Year honor, which was presented to him at the Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce’s annual awards

dinner and dance on March 5. “The community supports us so much. I was humbled by the award. I really think it’s a testimonial to how supportive this community is.”

The restaurant on Market Street very quickly became a favorite spot for local residents after it opened.

Jerome Rodio, the president of the Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce’s board, said that the restaurant was a very worthy recipient of the Business of the Year honor, in part because of all that McGlothlin does for the community. Rodio explained that the restaurant regularly hosts breakfast

fundraisers for various groups and organizations in the Oxford area. McGlothlin is also an active participant in community events, and The Sawmill Grill is also a popular spot to enjoy sandwich or burger at lunch, a beer after work, or a nice dinner.

The Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce also recognized another important business in downtown Oxford—the Octoraro Hotel and Tavern, which McGlothlin owns with Brannon Seaman.

The Octoraro Hotel and Tavern was a cornerstone in Oxford’s revitalization efforts until it was damaged by a fire in November of

2014.

McGlothlin explained that they are extensively renovating the 189-year-old building. Plans right now are for the first floor to be utilized for the restaurant, with the bar located on the second floor. Apartments will likely be included in the third floor of the building.

McGlothlin said that it was difficult for him to even go inside the Octoraro Hotel and Tavern for about a year after the fire because they had invested so much time, effort, and energy into building up the business.

But now that the renovation work is moving fast and something special is being created, he enjoys going in whenever he can. The hope is that the Octoraro Hotel and Tavern will be reopened at some point this year.

McGlothlin praised the work of Oxford Mainstreet, Inc. executive director Donna Hosler and the staff for promoting the downtown and planning

successful activities like the First Friday events. The Sawmill Grill plans special events throughout the year to help with the effort of bringing more people to downtown Oxford.

“We’re really looking forward to a great summer here,” McGlothlin said, adding that he considers himself to be blessed to have a business in this community.

Beer for breakfast?

Historical society to host tavern talk on drinking habits of colonists

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer Did you know that in the 18th Century, as local Colonialists were enduring the rocky and sometimes violent steps to becoming a new country, it was a generally accepted custom to drink beer for breakfast?

Here is another littleknown fact: In between his role as a statesman, a writer and an inventor, Benjamin Franklin compiled a list of 228 adjectives for the word “drunk.”

If these facts have somehow escaped the periphery of your knowledge of all things beer, the Chadds Ford

Historical Society is giving you the opportunity to learn how the alcoholic beverage – and the consumption of it – figured prominently in the formation of what is now known as the United States of America.

On April 21, the Society will kick off its Tavern Talks with “Beer for Breakfast: Drinking Habits of the Colonialists,” which will be held at 7 p.m. at the Brinton House in Chadds Ford. Guests will get to play tavern games while sampling several different beverages that were staples of the Colonists, such as ale, rum punch, mead, shrub and switchel, considered the forerunner of what we

now call Gatorade.

Guests will learn about these many brews by visiting several presentations such as Ales of the Revolution, hosted by Yards Brewing Company; the evolution of rum punch, with Red Brick Craft Distillery; the historic malting process, with Deer Creek Malthouse; chocolatemaking demonstrations with American Heritage Chocolate; and the popularity of mead, a fermented honey drink from ancient times, with The Colony Meadery.

The April 21 event begins what will be a monthly series of Tavern Talks, which will also include “Digging Through Trash” (Archaeology), on May 12; “Herbs and Potions,” on June 9; “LiberTEA! EqualiTEA!” On July 14; “Creating the Perfect (Colonial) Selfie,” on Sept.

15; “Very Superstitious: Fears, False Notions and Fables,” on Oct. 13; and “All Things Apple,” on Nov. 10.

Tavern Talks takes place at the Chadds Ford Historical Society’s Barns Brinton House, an historic 1714 tavern, located next to the Chaddsford Winery at 630 Baltimore Pike in Chadds Ford. Admission is $15 for non-members and $10 for members.

Tickets must be purchased in advance over the phone, in person or online as space is limited. All attendees must be 21 and older.

Act 1 Index, which is 2.4 percent.

“The budget, on an overall basis, with both revenues and expenditures, has taken out part of the conservative nature we have historically had. We have trimmed areas where individuals have given themselves a cushion in their finances. If it’s a ‘just in case,’ we’re going to remove that,” Cochran said.

“In that vein, we looked at special education. We’ve done some trimming, but given the volatility of special education, you will see an increase of expenditures of $150,000 as a budgetary reserve, specifically for special education.

“The retirement rate continues to be the single biggest increase, at $1.8 million,” Cochran added.

“That’s going from 25.84 percent of payroll to over 30 percent. Although we are somewhat out of the woods and the rate of escalation appears to be slowing down in the next year or two, I don’t think we are truly out of the woods completely.

The PSERs reserve is $2.5 million in an assigned fund balance, and we are using $191,000 of that to balance this budget.

“We will do a formal budget presentation on May 2,” Cochran said. “That is the date of the first budget hearing. If necessary, we will have follow-up hearings on May 3 and 4.”

His crowning achievement was leading the fundraising campaign for the Kennett Y. Being part of Tom Musser’s generation, I can say that without his efforts, there probably would be no Kennett Y, and for certain it would not be a prominent part of the Kennett area.

Tom Musser has a huge record of public service in many different areas, including being a member of the board and a major contributor of the Chester County Hospital.

of buildings and grounds, detailed some expenditures that will be voted on at next week’s board meeting, including $33,876 for replacement carpet at Hillendale Elementary School, and $15,476 for carpet replacement at Unionville and Pocopson elementary schools.

Replacement lockers at Patton Middle School are still being evaluated, but Hostetler said the cost should be about $90,000.

PennDOT’s work on the Route 926 bridge and intersection near Pocopson Elementary School will include shaving a bit of land off the edge of the school’s grounds, Hostetler said.

“The bridge project on Route 926 has been in the works for years,” he said.

“As part of that overall construction, PennDOT will improve the intersection at Pocopson Road and Route 926. That results in a need for PennDOT to obtain a right of way from the school district by eminent domain. It’s not real large, but they are seeking land that’s barely on our property, to construct a turning lane. We don’t anticipate any significant impact, but we are meeting with the township to make sure they’re on board with everything PennDOT is doing.”

Sanville added, “That section they’re taking is for a turn lane so you can make a right hand turn onto Pocopson Road, and that’s a benefit to us.”

Hostetler said the land “represents 5/100ths of an acre, and PennDOT is offering us $10,000.”

The Patton Middle School renovations are nearing completion, Hostetler said.

“As far as the office renovations, we still have a number of punch list items remaining. They are expected to be completed by the end of April. If not, we will begin assigning values to those items and work towards a credit changeover so we can close out the contract. There is an end in sight,” he said.

Assistant superintendent Ken Batchelor told the board that the district’s Curriculum Committee has been discussing Keystone testing. “We discussed a detail that’s of large importance to our students, and that is senior exemption from final exams,” he said.

“We’re looking at putting final exams for seniors back in place starting with the sophomore class, which is the class of 2018. In the next two years, we’ll have a break from the Keystones from the state perspective.

We still have Keystones in place, we’re still following our plan, but we’re going to work with the state over next year or so to see what changes the state may make with the Keystone exams.”

sources. Securing sufficient grant funding is essential for the project to move forward.

Borough council also approved retaining EnviroSure, Inc. to do an environmental site assessment on the parking lot owned by National Penn Bank.

Borough council is following the widespread trend of government entities investing in tablets for officials to use so that information can be shared digitally rather than printing everything out. Officials expect that this will save on printing and paper costs.

Oxford Borough utilized money from the gift fund to purchase the tablets, at a cost of approximately $5,700, so taxpayer money was not used.

Jerome Rodio, the president of the board for the Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce, announced that they are once again planning the popular Movies in the Park series. Movies in the Park will take place on the third Friday of the month for June, July, and August.

Rodio said that they expect to get 600 attendees at each event. Volunteers clean up

after each movie so there will be minimal impact to the borough. Council approved a waiver of the fee to rent the park for the series.

The movies that will be featured this year have not yet been selected, Rodio said.

Borough council approved the appointment of Lorraine Durnan Bell to fill the vacancy on the planning commission that was created when Butch Saranetz resigned. Bell also currently serves on the Oxford School Board.

Business owner Randy Teel said that his store, R & J Plaques and Engraving, located on Third Street, has been broken into two times in the last month. He suggested that the borough officials use some of the gift funds that are available to install security cameras in the business district.

“Why can’t we buy some cameras?” he asked. “There is a lot of activity that goes on at night that we’re not aware of.”

Dog park...

Continued from Page 1A

from a report by Public Works Director Shane Kinsey, who informed the supervisors that there has been a general disregard of park rules and dog park rules throughout Goddard, that clearly state that all dog waste is to be placed in appropriate containers, trash or recycling containers – not only at the dog park but throughout the park’s trail system. The violations are not limited to the failure of residents to properly dispose of dog waste; dog toys and other items are being left throughout the park and, despite signage that mandates proper leashing of dogs along trails and open areas, there have been several incidents where dogs have been found untethered and roaming around, unchained.

If the violations continue, the supervisors said that there could be an ordinance that bans dogs entirely from Goddard Park. For now, however, the township will post appropriate signage indicating that the dog park will be closed for the next month. It has also posted news of the dog park’s closing on its website.

As a result of the widespread neglect, much of the cleaning and maintenance falls on the township’s public works department.

Kinsey said that during a routine clean-up, his department staff will pick up between 20 and 30 bags of dog waste that has not been properly disposed of in receptacles, despite the fact that there are waste containers placed every half-mile along the trails, and signage indicating the correct procedure of how to dispose of dog waste.

“There’s a reason why the park is being shut down,” said board chairman Richard Scott-Harper.

“It’s the irresponsibility of the people who are bringing their dogs to the park.

I’m sure there are a lot of owners who are doing what they’re supposed to, but a few are ruining it for everybody else. It’s a statement to draw attention to the issue, and hopefully, they (Goddard Park users)

wake up and start behaving responsibly.”

In other township business, Goddard Park received some good news last week, as the board voted to approve the installation of a flagpole and adjoining solar light in the park, at a combined cost of $1,744, which will be paid for out of the township’s park & recreation maintenance fund.

The township has applied for a PECO grant to help in the purchase of a new aeration system for the pond at Goddard Park which, if received, would pay for half of the $9,738 system. Although the board approved the purchase of the system, the township will wait to see if the grant is secured before making the actual purchase.

The board also passed a resolution proclaiming April 29 as Arbor Day in the township. On that day, the township’s park and recreation committee is planning an event at Goddard Park beginning at 5 p.m., that will be highlighted by the planting of six trees in the park.

In other news, the supervisors voted to make a contribution of $500 in order to become a participant in the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission’s Transportation & Community Development Initiative (TCDI) Grant Program. The grant application is seeking to acquire a $100,000 grant -- as well as a county grant and financial participation from local municipalities and private and business funding, totaling $135,000 -- in order to pay for a proposed Route 1 MultiModal Transportation Plan, which when completed will develop a long-term land use and transportation strategy along the Route 1 Corridor between Kennett Township and West Nottingham Township.

The proposed plan is intended to provide significant impact to the economic development efforts in four boroughs and nine townships. The plan’s objectives will be to develop an improvement plan for the corridor that consists of walkways,

trails, greenways, bicycle paths, transit, freight, aviation and roadway improvement projects.

Bob Grabus of the Development Advisory Board of the Chester County Economic Development Council provided the supervisors with an overview of the plan.

“We’re going to look at all the land use at the interchanges (along Route 1), and the concept behind that is to ask, ‘What’s there now? What’s being planned? What are the zoning laws at these interchanges?” Grabus said.

“It’s a fairly comprehensive study we’re hoping to get done for a fairly modest amount of money.”

The $500 contribution, Grabus said, allows the township to get its “skin in the game,” in order to join other townships and municipalities in a commitment to support the plan.

The board voted 3-1 to approve the purchase of a 3500 trim mower, at a cost of $32,322, which will be used by the Inniscrone Golf Course, as was requested by course manager Tom Bolko at the supervisors’ March meeting. Those voting in favor of the purchase were board chairman Richard ScottHarper, and supervisors Dave Connors and Robert Weer. Supervisor Mike Pickel voted against the purchase.

The board voted to amend its contract with the Avondale Fire Department and its ambulance service with additional sums of money, for the year. The township will dedicate $50,600 to the ambulance service – an increase of $4,600 from last year – and $73,947 for fire service to the township – an increase of $4,947 from last year.

The board also agreed to amend the township’s contract with the West Grove Fire Company, for $111,314.

The board also voted to approve the appointment of Neil Chandler to the township’s Environmental Action Committee.

satisfy you, but we didn’t want to put others at risk,” Karen Versuk told Holton.

As operations manager for the township, Versuk has been working to resolve the issue.

“I would advise you to get [emergency personnel] together for the next meeting,” Mason suggested.

“We can’t make any changes unless they are all in agreement.”

Skip McGrew reported that the township’s Planning Commission and task force are making progress on

the zoning ordinance revisions. He said they will be presenting a first draft of Article 2 definitions to the county soon.

“It’s helpful to get the major concerns out the way,” McGrew said, explaining that this section of the ordinance is the one that requires the most updating.

Roadmaster Don Urban told the board that the proposed work on Kelton Road to address drainage issues is ready to be sent out for bids. A letter will be mailed to all affected homeowners to explain that the work will

require one lane closure for a time.

Urban also addressed snow removal contracts for next year. He said several contractors have told him they can’t meet the township’s specifications in the bid package, most notably the requirement that vehicles be five years old or newer. “We need to look at PennDOT’s snow removal specs, go through them and take what we want,” suggested supervisor Radar O’Connell.

Mason emphasized one requirement that he felt was critical. “They must have

GPS. We have to know where the trucks are so we can communicate with them,” he said.

Mason also suggested splitting up the work among several contractors. “I would like to get individual plows for the developments.

Then we can concentrate on the roads,” he said.

The board approved an escrow release for the Jennersville Medical Office Building, but the action followed a discussion of the unresolved traffic signal issues. “They’re not off the hook for the light. There’s something about it. I think

it’s a software problem,” Mason said.

If the light signal is switched to allow emergency vehicles to proceed straight through, it does not reset as it should. “People are screaming about it,” Mason said.

Vice chairman Victor Mantegna agreed, and directed his comment to township engineer Kevin Matson. “You need to stress to them [Jennersville Medical Office Building representatives] that this is a safety issue,” he said.

Mantegna said he will not approve another escrow

release until the light is fixed.

Supervisor Jay Ennis, who is in the construction field, has taken the lead on coordinating the work on the Red Rose Inn. Ennis reported that, based his recent meeting with building inspector Tom Lowrey, they do not need a building permit for the roof or gutter work, but will need one for the porch construction. Ennis is getting bids for repointing the stone, the roofing work and windows.

“We’re just about ready to get things cracking,” he said.

County welcomes visiting Chinese delegation Chester County Commissioner Terence Farrell and the Chester County Conference and Visitors Bureau executive director, Susan Hamley, recently hosted a delegation from China as part of an ongoing relationship between the county and China.

Farrell visited China in 2014 and was pleased to welcome a group from Yangzhou to Chester County. This group included ZhiJian Wang, Deputy Mayor of Yangzhou, representatives from high-profile gardens, and tourism officials.

“We have had four delegations from China visit Chester County in the past six months,” Farrell said.

“This was the first delegation from Yangzhou, however, which borders the provincial capital of Nanjing on China’s East Coast. Whereas previous delegations have focused on business and investment opportunities in Chester County, this Yangzhou delegation was most interested in tourism, which is also an economic driver.”

The ten visitors saw Longwood Gardens. They were also intrigued by a tour of the Galer Estate Winery, led by owners Brad and Lele Galer, and a tasting of Galer’s wines, made with locally grown grapes.

Hamley said there is great potential from China in tourism. “Nearly 2.2 million Chinese visitors traveled to the United States in 2014, which is a 21 percent increase over 2013,” she said. “It is

‘What all of you are doing is making the dreams of youngsters come true’

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer There are many different ways to attempt to measure the impact that Camp Dreamcatcher has had during its 20-year history.

The organization has provided free therapeutic and educational programs to more than 5,000 youngsters who have been impacted by HIV or AIDS. The programs and services that Camp Dreamcatcher has provided to those 5,000 youngsters amounts to about $4.5 million in free programs.

The organization has performed HIV education and outreach programs to more than 500 schools or community groups. More than 900 counselors have attended HIV/AIDS and diversity training.

There have been 20 camp sessions and 26 weekend retreats for children and their families, and another 33 reunion events.

But all these numbers tell

only part of the story, not the whole story.

There is no way to measure the true impact of Camp Dreamcatcher because things like love and friendship and kindness and hope can’t be measured.

On April 3, Camp Dreamcatcher celebrated its 20th anniversary with a dinner and auction at the Red Clay Room in Kennett Square. The event was a fundraiser, but it was also an opportunity to thank the volunteers and supporters who enable the non-profit to offer its programs and services to children. State Sen. Andy Dinniman was on hand to present Camp Dreamcatcher founder and executive director Patty Hillkirk with a proclamation honoring the organization for its widereaching contributions.

“I remember when this was Patty’s dream,” Dinniman said, “and she made it a reality.”

and supporters of Camp Dreamcatcher, Dinniman said, “What all of you are doing is making the dreams of the youngsters come true.”

There’s no way to measure the impact of that, either.

Hillkirk founded Camp Dreamcatcher 20 years ago, hoping to make a small difference in the lives of children who had been impacted by HIV or AIDS. Hillkirk explained that the youngsters who come to Camp Dreamcatcher are challenged by many issues, and HIV is just one of them.

At the camp, the youngsters learn how to cope with life’s struggles in a supportive environment.

prominently on the booklet for the 20th anniversary celebration: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” It was in that spirit that Camp Dreamcatcher was founded, and Dinniman explained that change doesn’t come from the government, and it usually doesn’t come from the majority, but rather from a small group of people who work to make a positive change.

“All you need to change the world is a dream, a hope,” Dinniman said.

One of the highlights of the evening was a performance

by Ida Kafavian, an internationally acclaimed violinist. She was joined by

music students from The Curtis Institute.

Another highlight was a video presentation that showcased some of the activities from the first 20 years of Camp Dreamcatcher.

Dan Fineberg, a volunteer at the camp, produced the video, incorporating a poem

by Callie Fraser to serve as the framework for the video.

Fraser, a student at West Chester University, wrote the poem in response to the question, “What does social work mean to you?” as part of a school project. Fraser was inspired by the campers and counselors at Camp Dreamcatcher.

The guest speaker for the event was Miguel Correa, who has been coming to the camp since he was five years old. He started out as one of the youngest campers, but is now a counselor in the leadership-in-training program. Correa spoke about the impact that Camp Dreamcatcher has had on his life, including all the positive relationships that he has built as a result of his involvement with Camp Dreamcatcher.

One of the most emotional moments of the night came when Correa was talking about Amber, one of his friends at camp who passed away at the age of just 27 early in 2016 from health complications related to AIDS. “It’s hard not to see her face here tonight,” Correa said. “She was my good friend.”

Noting that the rate of HIV infections has remained steady for the last two decades, Hillkirk said that the impact of AIDS is still very much an issue that people need to be aware of. Consequently, Camp Dreamcatcher’s goals of raising awareness about the importance of HIV testing, treatment, education and outreach are more important than ever.

Hillkirk expressed her gratitude to the individuals, businesses, and groups that support the organization, including those that donated items for the live and silent auctions at the 20th anniversary celebration. The event raised approximately $30,000 that will used for a variety of programs, including helping to send children to the 2016 Camp Dreamcatcher, which is slated for Aug. 21 to 27.

While Hillkirk was quick to credit the hundreds of volunteers and supporters who help with Camp Dreamcatcher’s overall mission, she was praised for providing the vision for the organization, and for being its driving force.

Nathan Schenker, the president of Camp Dreamcatcher’s board of directors, said that Hillkirk is “the heart and soul” of the organization.

“We’re all here because of Patty,” Schenker said.

An effort is underway to organize volunteers for a cleanup of the New London Township area on Sat., April 23 from 8 a.m. to noon. This event is in conjunction with the Great American Cleanup of Pennsylvania. Volunteers are needed to clean up their own property, but also help clean up the neighborhood or housing development, or a section of roadway.

The township supervisors and a group of interested residents are coordinating the cleanup. Materials, including trash bags,

gloves, safety vests, and a few signs have been provided by PennDOT. These materials are available on a first-come basis at the New London Academy parking lot starting at 7:30 a.m.

Receptacles for the litter and trash that is collected will also be at this location.

ity of life, and number two in Health Factors which include health behaviors, clinical care, social and economic factors and physical environment.

The County Health Rankings, a collaboration between the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute, compare counties within each state on more than 30 factors that impact health, including such social determinants as education, jobs, housing, exercise, commuting times and more. Now in its seventh year, the rankings give counties a snapshot of how healthy their residents are by comparing

their overall health and the factors that influence their health, with other counties in their state.

The report is designed to allow counties to determine where they are doing well and where they need to improve.

Commenting on the report, Chester County Commissioners’ Chair Terence Farrell said, “This recognition demonstrates that Chester County is a community ahead of the curve. The leadership of our Health Department, the network of hospitals, healthcare providers, health clinics, social service-related non-profit organizations, and our environmental stewardship

and recreational resources, all add up to a recognition as number one when it comes to a healthy quality of life.”

Commissioner Kathi Cozzone added: “We understand how important it is to review all of the conditions that impact the well-being of our residents – from treatment and prevention of, and education on health issues, to the impact of jobs, housing, schooling, transportation, and exercise. Our top ranking indicates that we’re doing many things right, but we will continue to address those areas where we know we can improve.”

Commissioner Michelle Kichline noted, “It is no

coincidence that Chester County’s strategic plan includes a priority on Health, Human Services and the Environment, with goals that address the health factors identified in the County Health Rankings study. In addition, our RoadMAPP to Health – a county-wide collaborative effort to assess our residents’ health and identify and address health-related social service needs – is currently engaged in a long term community health improvement plan.”

Editorial

Until further notice Soon after Goddard Park in West Grove opened five years ago, its dog park -- a fenced-in pasture where local canines of all shapes and sizes could roam -- became what some in London Grove Township had waited for: A social gathering space.

Word quickly spread, and within weeks, the dog park was the hottest night spot in town. For these past five years, it has remained so, and a recent tour of the park’s Facebook page reveals photos that attest to its popularity.

At the April 6 London Grove Township meeting, the Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to close the dog park until May 5, near the time when they will reevaluate the idea of reopening it. The reason: Dog waste is not being placed in the appropriate containers. It is being placed in regular trash or recycling containers. It is being left in various locations, including the dog park, in the public areas, in parking lots and along the trail system. In a complete act of laziness, there have been reports that the dog waste is being deposited in the “toy bin.”

This disregard for the regulations handed down by the township is an act of complete irresponsibility, no doubt perpetuated by a small percentage of short-sighted individuals who have no sense of common decency, nor even the willingness to get there. The township has received numerous phone calls and e-mails alerting them to this disgrace and, moreover, the task of cleaning up the mess caused by these residents is now the responsibility of the township’s Public Works Department.

We believe that the London Grove Township Supervisors were correct in their decision to close the dog park for at least the next month, and we’ll even go further in our support by suggesting that if the problem is not rectified, the township should issue an ordinance permanently shutting down the dog park and banning dogs from every public area.

The 125-acre park is a gift to residents -- the result of more than a decade-long commitment by the township and the Goddard family to provide a public backyard, a haven for watching children grow up, and to give people the opportunity to quietly commune with nature. What a pathetic commentary it is that some people have absolutely no respect for the gifts they have been given.

Letter to the Editor

Holding Harrisburg accountable Letter to the Editor: I am often asked what I mean when I say Harrisburg must be held accountable. Where to start is a better question.

There are a lot of areas where this applies but let’s start with one of the easiest to identify. We need to end the practice of paying per diems to our legislators for the days that they are in Harrisburg. Per diems are a daily food and

lodging expense allowance that is made available to lawmakers who must travel more than 50 miles to Harrisburg or an event.

According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, Pennsylvania representatives were provided a per diem of $159 per day in 2015. Receipts are not required to receive this payment, so spending less than the per diem rate means that your legislator can pocket the difference.

Legislators should be reimbursed for their legitimate expenses that are properly filed with receipts. That is what is done in business, and that is what should be done in Harrisburg. Instead, some legislators use per diems as a way to boost their salaries at taxpayer expense.

I do not believe that kind of behavior is serving the people of Pennsylvania ethically or with integrity.

I want to hold Harrisburg

accountable and so, if I am elected, I will join with other legislators who are working to move legislation that requires legislators to submit receipts and to be reimbursed for those expenses. I will also post my monthly expenses on my legislative website for the public to see, holding me accountable as well.

Put an end to underage drinking April 21 is PowerTalk 21 Day, a day for parents to talk to their children about alcohol

By Geoffrey L. Henry, Mayor of Oxford Borough As the school year winds down, many of us are looking ahead to a variety of annual celebrations – from prom to graduation festivities to summer fun and so much more. What can – and should – be joyous festivities for children and parents alike can inexplicably turn to heartbreak if we don’t take the necessary precautions to prevent the unthinkable from happening.

Each year, we see the headlines and news reports about teens with bright futures who are seriously injured or killed due to an alcohol-related accident.

We all hope and pray it doesn’t happen to our kids or their friends. The unfortunate reality is that underage drinking is an epidemic in our country. Teen alcohol

use kills 4,700 people each year, more than all other illegal drugs combined.

It is vital that we help our children and community at large understand the dangers of underage drinking; and the sooner, the better.

Children start weighing the pros and cons of underage drinking as early as age 8, as second and third graders in elementary school.

One in four middle school students have tried alcohol by the end of 8th grade and children’s perceptions about alcohol continue to evolve through the age of 21.

The good news is that parents – not peers – are still the number one influence on their children’s decisions about drinking. Teens are 80 percent less likely to drink if parents deliver a clear “no alcohol before 21” message.

As mayor of Oxford, I am

proclaiming April 21 to be PowerTalk 21 Day in our town, the official day for parents to talk with their kids about alcohol. This is not simply a one-day conversation, however. It is up to everyone in the Oxford community to put an end to underage drinking and its often deadly consequences, and the only way we can do that is if we start talking early, and talk often, with our children about this topic. It’s an ongoing conversation that can – and will – save lives.

That’s why I am joining with Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and Nationwide to participate in the fifth annual Power of Parents Day. From now through April 21, I urge all area parents to download the free Power of Parents Handbook and start talking with their children about alcohol. I also

challenge my fellow mayors across Pennsylvania and elsewhere to join me in this effort to prevent underage drinking.

MADD expanded the Power of Parents program to include a handbook for parents of middle school students, with the tools they need to talk early and often with their children about alcohol. It builds on MADD’s original Power of Parents handbook, which was developed for parents of high school students.

Both are fantastic resources to use as children mature and encounter new situations and pressures to drink.

We can stop this dangerous – and often deadly – behavior. We can make underage drinking prevention a community-wide priority for the Oxford community. Together, we can make a difference and save lives.

ing millions of Americans, including myself. Because of the ACA, the poor and sick no longer need to live in fear.

The ACA was a humanitarian breakthrough in equal healthcare.

It removed restrictions that inflicted suffering and financial hardship on sick and poor families. The act ended discrimination against Americans with pre-existing conditions, which had become a death sentence.

You can no longer exceed a lifetime annual coverage amount – which means that, prior to the passage of the ACA, you could legally just be left to die once your care became too expensive. The ACA keeps Medicare solvent through 2030. When the act became law, the rise in the cost of healthcare dropped to its lowest rates in half a century. In 2014, the number of uninsured adults dropped for the first time. Fewer adults reported difficulties paying medical bills or had medical debt, or delayed medical care because of costs.

I am one of the millions of Americans who has benefitted from Obamacare, and one of millions who will suffer if the act is repealed.

I do not trust Senator Pat Toomey with my family’s healthcare. Toomey voted in December for a plan to phase out the Medicaid expansion for low-income Americans.

This would undercut healthcare for 430,000 vulnerable Pennsylvanians: working families, the elderly, pregnant woman who are

single-moms, low-income children as well as veterans.

As an American fighting cancer for the rest of my life, I cannot trust Toomey with my future and health.

If he had been successful, I couldn’t have paid for the lifesaving surgery I needed in September, thus widowing my wife before we saw our first anniversary.

But former Congressman and Admiral Joe Sestak – who’s challenging Pat Toomey for a seat in the Senate – is a different story.

He first got into politics to fight for healthcare reform and the ACA because of his daughter, who was also diagnosed with cancer.

Much like her, I was given a small chance to live after my diagnosis if I underwent intense chemotherapy and radiation.

In September, the cancer grew back in my neck.

Surgeons cut it out. Now, my wife and I wait. We worry over healthcare.

Without the ACA, which I can trust Joe Sestak to protect, debt would destroy our future, and I would become a second-class citizen. We wouldn’t be able to afford even basic medications.

Healthcare comes down to three components: diagnosis, surgery and medication.

Prescriptions are the foundation of treatment. Recently, I fought with my insurance company to get a medicine that would greatly ease my symptoms thus improving the quality of my life.

After several attempts and switching brands, wasting my time, and my doctor’s

time, we settled for an inferior version. If I had better healthcare, my symptoms would be treated, and I would be a healthier member of society, thus making the country stronger.

One way to strengthen the ACA would be to permit Medicare to bargain with the drug companies, thus lowering prices and saving Medicare $123 billion by 2023. We could lower the prohibitive costs of drugs for families by allowing people to import drugs from Canada, a practice that has already saved $400 per person in states that have the wisdom not to punish their citizens with import restrictions.

And finally, we need leaders who will end a criminal practice by drug manufacturers. I would have been able to get some of my medications if a generic brand was manufactured; however, drug companies are paying their competitors to hold off on producing generics. This is called ‘pay for delay’ and it is costing consumers and taxpayers $3.5 billion every year just so Big Pharma can profit off people’s inability to access lifesaving medication.

Obamacare is not perfect,

but it’s the first viable solution presented in decades of debate and stalemate. The sick and poor don’t need to suffer. We are better than this. As a wealthy country, we have the chance to create a compassionate and great society.

This November, we have a choice. If Pat Toomey remains our Senator, I will have to continue to watch his assaults against the healthcare that saved my life.

The ACA isn’t perfect. But less people die. Less people suffer. And the quality of life for families has improved.

With study effort and adjustment made by the right people in office, it can work.

We, the sick, no need longer be terrified of the future.

T. Fox Dunham is a writer and lymphoma survivor who lives in Philadelphia with his wife, Allison. His book, “Destroying the Tangible Illusion of Reality or Searching for Andy Kaufman,” which is about what it’s like to be dying of cancer, was recently released from Perpetual Motion Machine Publishing.

Six deer apparently electrocuted by downed power line

By John Chambless Staff Writer On April 4, six dead deer were found close together in White Clay Creek in Franklin Township. They were found near the home of Paul Overton on Church Hill Road, and Overton took photos, fearing that the animals had been poisoned. They showed no gunshot wounds.

State Game Warden Keith Mullins pulled the deer from the creek on Tuesday afternoon. As word of the incident spread throughout the township, supervisor John Auerbach fielded inquiries from

concerned neighbors.

In an emailed letter, Auerbach wrote, “There was concern about poisoning, but evidence did not support this. Electrocution from an adjacent downed power line apparently caused their deaths. The Game Warden observed that their tongues were bitten. Very likely, the water became locally electrified.”

While no people were injured, the incident is a warning about never approaching downed power lines.

“Overhead power lines in our township are energized with 4,750 volts,” Auerbach wrote.

“There are two, very thin wires always arranged to be on top of the pole. These wires are dark colored and

difficult to see when lying on the ground. They are very dangerous, and [no one should get] closer than

Free recycling and shredding offered at Public Safety Day on April 16

By John Chambless Staff Writer If you’ve got dead electronics and boxes full of old paper cluttering your closets, Penn Township is hosting a day that will help your spring cleaning.

Public Safety Day on April 16 will offer free, secure paper shredding (limit three boxes per household or business).

But there’s a lot more to the day. You can bring in technology and e-waste, including old computers, laptops, cell phones, telephones, batteries, wires, small electronics, scrap metal, security systems and computer peripherals for free recycling.

If you have expired or excess medications in your medicine cabinet, Public Safety Day will also have a medication take-back box sponsored by the Chester County Sheriff’s Office.

Safely recycling medications keeps them out of ground water and landfills.

While free recycling is a big draw, other attractions will fill the Penn Township Park and Township Building.

There will be performances of Jungle John’s “Dino Safety” puppet show, karate demonstrations by the YMCA, and children’s rides, along with festival foods including Kona Ice and Philly soft pretzels.

Booths will spotlight health and safety

information from the Chester County Health Department, Jennersville Hospital, Kacie’s Cause and NOPE of Chester County, Fitchett Chiropractic, Safe Kids, Southern Chester County EMS and the West Grove Fire Company.

Rep. John Lawrence and Sen. Andy Dinniman will visit the event, and the Pennsylvania State Police will be offering public safety information. State Farm Insurance will be operating the DUI Simulator, which gives participants a wakeup call about the effects of impaired driving. Kennett Fire Company will be bringing their Smoke Trailer to teach fire safety, and there will be a CPR

Overton said the PECO wires came down on the night of April 2, and he found them on the ground on the morning of April 3.

“I placed a traffic cone in the road Sunday morning to prevent cars hitting the downed line, which was coiled in the eastbound lane,” Overton said, “Then I called PECO to report. I heard about the dead deer Monday. I am not sure who saw them first or when.

“I was alarmed by how far the voltage traveled through he water to kill these large deer.,” Overton said. “I could have easily

been killed if the street were wet when I placed the traffic cone. On Tuesday evening, a man and his daughter were fishing in the stream where the deer had died. If they had been in that exact spot two days prior, the little girl would be dead.”

In his letter, Auerbach warned, “When driving around, if you see a tree down, think about wires before you get close. Do not go up and inspect.

You could easily step on a wire.”

Conservancy gets $150,000 grant for nature preserve

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer After two major acquisitions in the past year or so, the Land Conservancy for Southern Chester County (TLC) recently got a $150,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) to develop the planned Chandler Mill Preserve and Interpretive Nature Center.

The grant will further connect a grand design that will conserve a sizable chunk of land in southern Chester County. The future preserve, located at the confluence of the Red Clay and Bucktoe creeks, contains Class I woodlands and meadows, specimen trees, rare species of flora and fauna, as well as several historic sites. It is a part of the Audubon

Important Bird Area, as well as the site of a longtime Cornell Lab Orinthology study.

Once completed, the nature preserve will become a part of a 12-mile loop trail that forms the beginning of the Red Clay Greenway Trail System, coinciding with last year’s donation of 45 acres of preserved land by the Brokaw family.

In 2015, the TLC moved to its new headquarters on Mill Road – a 2,700-squarefoot home that traces its beginnings to the 1840s and once served as a bed and breakfast.

Currently being designed by Wayne Simpson Architects, the interpretive nature center – attached to the new headquarters -- is expected to be completed by 2017, and will include maps of area nature

preserves, provide historical perspectives and educational opportunities, display taxidermy from the Tyler Arboretum, and feature a floor-to-ceiling window that will provide a sweeping panorama of the Chandler Mill Nature Preserve, which begins directly across Mill Road.

The funding of these projects adds to what will ultimately serve as the vital link to the nature preserve.

The historic Chandler Mill Bridge, which was purchased in 2014 by Kennett Township to refurbish the structure as a pedestrian-only bridge, will serve as a steel-and-girder welcome mat to visitors to the preserve, TLC offices and interpretive nature center.

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer Kennett Square Borough and Kennett Township have reached a cooperative agreement that will allow for even more collaboration between their respective police departments.

At Monday night’s council meeting, Kennett Square Borough Council approved an intergovernmental cooperation agreement that stated, in part, that “...the borough council of Kennett Square Borough has determined that it is in the best interests of the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of Kennett Square Borough and the general public to cooperate

with Kennett Township and to encourage mutual police aid between the two municipalities.”

Kennett Square mayor Matt Fetick said that the cooperation agreement will allow officers from both departments to more efficiently provide policing services to Anson B. Nixon Park, which is mostly situated in Kennett Township, and Pennock Park, which is situated in the township but is owned by the borough.

Previously, if an incident occurred in the portion of the park that is situated in Kennett Township, Kennett Square Borough police officers would have to notify the township police about the incident— and vise versa on incidents

that occurred on property in the borough.

Fetick said that the policing agreement will allow police officers to be responsive to emergency calls and to conduct investigations without having to figure out whether an incident took place five feet over the borough line.

Fetick emphasized that during police pursuits or emergency situations, police officers are allowed to respond, even without a cooperation agreement.

Officers from both departments frequently support each other and back each other up on emergency calls anyway, and the cooperation agreement simply allows for more collaboration and

more responsiveness to public safety issues.

Additionally, Fetick said, the policing agreement will allow both police departments to work collaboratively on efforts to crack down on overweight trucks illegally using the State Street bridge, which could help reduce truck traffic in the borough.

The two municipalities have purchased the equipment necessary to weigh trucks, and the borough has officers who are trained to conduct the weight inspections.

“We’re trying to ban trucks that are overweight and do damage on the road,” Fetick said, adding that he wants Kennett Square to have the reputation of enforcing weight limits.

Fetick lauded the new cooperation agreement.

“There was an agreement years ago,” he said, “but it lapsed. I think this is a great cooperation.”

Borough council approved the cooperation agreement by a 5-2 margin.

In other business at the meeting, the borough is amending portions of Chapter 11 of the borough code that includes regulations pertaining to motor vehicles and traffic, snow emergency, and winter warnings.

Borough manager Joseph Scalise explained that the amendments are intended to clarify certain aspects of the ordinance, including the portion that explains which of the borough’s streets are included in the emergency

routes during times when winter weather warnings are issued. Council approved the ordinance amendment.

Two borough residents, Sally Warren and John Thomas, were appointed to serve on the Brandywine Battlefield Task Force.

Liam Warren was appointed to serve as the borough’s representative on the Landfill Authority.

Borough council approved the special event application for the Third Thursdays that will take place on May 19, June 16, July 21, Aug. 18, and Sept.

15, as well as the Memorial Day Parade that is slated for May 30, and the Kennett BrewFest on Oct. 1.

Gilden gets complete game victory in Unionville’s 4-1 win

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer Moments after Unionville’s 4-1 victory over Octorara on Monday afternoon, winning pitcher Tyler Gilden was asked if he planned to continue pitching in college. The senior said that baseball was not in his future plans, but given his complete-game, eightstrikeout performance, he may want to reconsider bringing his mitt to wherever he attends this coming fall.

Using a crafty blend of fastballs and off-speed pitches, the lefty hurler stymied Octorara by holding them to just four hits. Two of those hits came in the top of the first inning, when John Cummings laid down a perfect bunt, followed by an infield single by Chase Thomas. Both runners advanced to second and third with one out, but

Gilden promptly struck out Jackson Ray and Jordan Whisler to end the scoring threat.

After breezing through the second and third, Gilden was touched for the only run he allowed in the fourth, that began when Ray lined a single to right, advanced to second and third on successive passed balls by Gilden, and came in to score on a ground out by Tim Lubano.

“My plan was to keep the ball down, low and away, and pick my spots when I would use my curve ball about 30 percent of the time,” said Gilden, who now has two wins on the early season. “The idea was to get ahead of them with the fastball, and then throw breaking balls.”

Meanwhile, Gilden’s teammates backed him up with a balanced hitting attack that chased Brave starter Aaron Feld after four innings, highlighted

by a three-run second inning. Andrew Narcise led off the inning with a double to left center, and moved to third on Schilling’s grounder that was bobbled by Octorara shortstop Matt Carr. Schilling then stole second, and came in to score along with Narcise on a double to left center

by Hunter McLimans.

Brendan Barrett then drove in McLimans with a double to left center, to round out the scoring in the second inning.

Unionville tacked on its last run in the fourth inning when Barrett singled, stole second and came in to score on a single to left field by Zack Kennedy.

The Indians will make the short drive to NVF Field in Kennett Square on Wednesday for their annual rivalry game against Kennett, under the lights, while Octorara travels to Henderson on April 14.

Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce plans Scholarship Fund Golf Tournament

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce officials are in the final stages of planning this year’s Scholarship Fund Golf Tournament,

which will take place on May 17 at the Tanglewood Golf Club in Quarryville.

This is the 20th year for the event. The fundraiser allows the Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce to offer scholarships to

several students from Oxford Area High School each year.

“All the money that we raise from the golf tournament goes to the scholarships,” explained Dr. Douglas Fasick, a

The Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce organizes a golf tournament each year to raise money to fund college scholarships for local students.

chamber board member who serves as the chairperson of the golf outing.

Oxford Area High School students who plan to attend a university or trade school in Pennsylvania, or who will continue their education at a local school like Cecil College, are eligible to apply for the scholarships.

While a student’s grades are one consideration that will factor into who receives scholarships, it is not the only criteria. Fasick explained that they also look at the volunteer activities that the students have been involved in, as well as other considerations, when they are deciding who will be the recipients.

“We look at students who are volunteering their time to make the community a better place,” Fasick said.

Angie Thompson-Lobb, the chairperson of the scholarship committee, said that they try to fill a niche, providing scholarships to students who might not qualify for larger scholarship opportunities.

“We’re supporting our local students,” Lobb said.

“We’re looking to help students who might not be going to big schools.”

By helping those students who might not qualify for some of the larger scholarships, the Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce is providing financial support to students who might need it the most.

“We’ve helped some of the kids who maybe couldn’t have gone to college without the scholarships,” Fasick said.

And, Unlike some of the other scholarships that are available to students, the scholarships that the Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce offers are for four years of a student’s collegiate career.

Last year, each of the recipients received a $750 scholarship, and they will continue to receive that amount for four years.

Fasick said that the golf tournament is always fun for the participants, who enjoy a boxed lunch and a nice afternoon of golf. It’s

also good that the Oxford community works together to help local students.

“It wouldn’t be as successful without everyone helping out,” Fasick explained.

Fasick said that they hope to have at least 100 golfers on the day of the event. The registration begins on that day at 11:30 a.m. with a shotgun start an hour later. The event includes a golf ball drop and a silent auction, and participants also enjoy a nice dinner and door prizes that are awarded.

The highlight of the event will be the announcement of this year’s scholarship recipients. Past recipients also turn out for the golf tournament.

For more information about the golf tournament or to register for the event, call the Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce at 610-932-0740 or email oxfordchamber@ zoominternet.net.

‘New Terrains’ showcases American landscapes at the Brandywine A superb selection of paintings given by Richard M. Scaife is now on view at the Brandywine River Museum of Art this spring.

These works add depth to the museum’s holdings of American landscape painting and introduce the Hudson River School and American impressionist traditions.

Many of the 25 paintings in the exhibition are by renowned artists that are new to the collection, such as John Frederick Kensett, Albert Bierstadt, Martin Johnson Heade, Alfred Bricher and William Merritt Chase.

In 2014, Richard M. Scaife – a news publisher, art collector, philanthropist and longtime trustee of the Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art – left his extensive art collection to the Brandywine and to the Westmoreland Museum of Art in Greensburg, Pa., to be divided evenly.

Scaife also bequeathed Penguin Court, his estate in western Pennsylvania, to the Brandywine, adding more than 1,000 acres to its protected lands – the single largest land acquisition in the organization’s history.

Scaife was passionately interested in the varied traditions of American landscape painting, including California plein-air artists. His collection featured paintings

of sunlit marine scenes, bold mountain scenery and bucolic farmlands by 19th- and 20th century painters, as well as contemporary artists, many of whom lived and worked in those regions.

Scaife’s keen eye for collecting important Hudson River School painters of the mid-19th century offers works that demonstrate these artists’ gifts for creating luminous effects of light and expressing dramatic moods of nature. Examples include John Frederick Kensett’s sparkling evening view in “Hudson River View” from Dobb’s Ferry, Albert Bierstadt’s calm and sunny “Coast of California,” the glowing thunderclouds of Paul Weber’s “Sunset in the Alleghenies,” the tranquil twilight in “New Jersey Salt Marsh” by Martin Johnson Heade, and two glimmering shore scenes by Alfred Bricher.

These new additions make significant connection to the current special exhibition, “The Poetry of Nature: A Golden Age of Landscape Painting,” a selection of Hudson River School paintings on loan from the New-York Historical Society through June 12.

The Scaife bequest also brings to the collection marvelous examples of American impression by

‘New Jersey Salt Marsh’ by Martin Johnson Heade.

artists of the late-19th to mid-20th centuries, whose paintings reflect their study in Europe. The resulting work shows an exciting and innovative approach to American landscape painting with vivid color and energetic brushwork – both hallmarks of the French impressionist style. This exhibition includes paintings

by William Merritt Chase, Theodore Robinson, and Edward Lawson, all leaders of American impressionism, as well as work by Edward Redfield and Julian Alden Weir.

A superb painting, “The Cherry Tree” by William Chadwick, embodies the impressionist palette, expressive brushstrokes and desire to capture the

ephemeral moment in a composition bursting with springtime blossoms. Two paintings – “Blue Iris with Apple Tree” and “Fountain in Our Garden at Nikko” by John La Farge – reveal his absorption of the decorative aesthetic inspired by both French and Japanese art.

The Brandywine River Museum of Art is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Admission is $15 for adults, $10 for seniors ages 65 and older, $6 for students and children ages 6 and older; free for children 5 and younger and Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art members. The museum is on Route 1 in Chadds Ford. For more information, call 610-388-2700 or visit brandywinemuseum.org.

Club Studio Arts hosts guest instructor April 29 Looking for a fun way to get out and get moving this spring?

Club Studio Arts, the part-club, part-dance studio that opened in Kennett Square in January, offers a variety of classes, dance socials and special events. On April 29, guest instructor Ricky Whitfield – a wellknown dance instructor from New York City -will teach street jazz and hip-hop dancing.

The classes, events and socials at Club Studio Arts each month are “designed to teach the basics of many different styles of dance,” said Dara Troise, one of the owners. “This could be a social outing on weekends or it could be fitness.”

Adult-only classes are offered Tuesdays through Saturdays in hip-hop, zumba, cha-cha/rumba, and burlesque. Socials for couples, singles and ladies-only are scheduled on select Friday and Saturday nights.

Troise -- who owns CSA along with her mother Donna, her sister and brother-in-law Bree Troise-Delgado and Ruben Delgado – explained that they have received “very positive reviews” from those who have already attended

classes and socials.

Delgado, of Cochranville, teaches zumba, beginning ballroom classes, salsa, and meringue and helps those who attend feel more comfortable with the moves. He said the instruction is designed for people to use at parties and other social events.

“We are very beginnerbased,” said Troise, who does not teach but loves to participate in all that Club Studio Arts has to offer. “And the socials are always changing monthly.

It keeps things spicy.”

Socials often feature disc jockeys and the specialty lighting in the studio, which includes a disco ball and soundsensitive lights that change in intensity with the beat of the music.

Dance studios have been a big part of the Troise and Delgado families for years – Troise took dance through high school, and her sister Bree is a professional choreographer for Norwegian Cruise Lines.

Delgado is a professional dancer and choreographer as well, having studied at the Alvin Ailey School, and performed for Norwegian Cruise Lines and dance companies.

The arts portion of the

name reflects what Troise, an Avondale resident, and her family hope Club Studio Arts will also feature – photography and art exhibits, among other things.

CSA also offers private lessons, wedding choreography, and a chance to learn enough dance moves to make even those with two left feet feel comfortable on

the dance floor. “We’re just trying to help people feel more secure and confident,” Troise said.

Reservations are strongly suggested for socials and other

special events. For more information about Club Studio Arts, call 484732-7994, visit www. clubstudioarts.com, or check out their Facebook page.

The Brandywine Valley Chorale.

Holocaust survivor Joseph B. Hirt takes part in ‘Cantata’ on April 30 Joseph B. Hirt, a Holocaust survivor and former teacher at Unionville High School, will take part in the Brandywine Valley Chorale’s “Holocaust Cantata” at the high school on April 30.

Hirt, who is 89, escaped from Auschwitz, a World War II Nazi death camp, after eight months of incarceration where he witnessed torture, starvation and murders and came close to death himself.

More than 1 million people died in the camp.

The Brandywine Valley Chorale will present Donald McCullough’s “Holocaust

Cantata: Songs From the Camps” on April 30 at 7:30 p.m. at the Unionville High School auditorium (750 Unionville Rd.). Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students, and can be obtained at www.thebvc. org. or at the door.

McCullough’s work is a musical journey through one of the bleakest episodes in human history, according to Jason Throne, artistic director of the Brandywine Valley Chorale.

Hirt will give the introduction to the cantata.

He grew up in a Jewish family in Poland, where his father was president judge

of the regional court. As Hitler’s forces advanced, Hirt’s family relocated to Belgrade, Yugoslavia.

The family had plans to travel to New York, but the Germans bombed Belgrade the day before their departure. After several months, Hirt was captured while searching for food and taken to Auschwitz.

Hirt also was a tipstaff for Chester County Common Pleas Court Judge John L. Hall. Hall was a student of Hirt at Unionville High School. Hirt retired from teaching in 1993. Hirt will attend a reception following the concert.
