Supervisors delay Oxford School Board vote on proposed approves proposed change to historic final budget ordinance

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer On one side of the discussion at the New Garden Board of Supervisors’ April 22 meeting sat several dozen township residents, many of whom voiced their concern that a proposed amendment to a township historic ordinance would place all decisions regarding any future construction upgrades to their historic homes in the hands of the township’s Historical Commission.

It’s my home, they said, and I have a right to make any alterations I wish.

On the other side, three members of the Historic Commission tried to assure the residents that the proposed amendment would not dictate what a homeowner can do with his or her home, but merely allow commission members to act in an advisory role.

We are only here to help, the members told residents.

After nearly an hour of back-and-forth opinions, potential scenarios and assurances that were brought up at a formal hearing, several supervisors said that more backand-forth was needed in order to fine-tune the wording and purpose of Article XXI, Chapter 200 of the township’s zoning code. Subsequently, they voted unanimously to table their ruling on the proposed amendment.

At the center of the controversy are the proposals

The Oxford School Board unanimously approved the proposed final budget totaling $70,539,523 for the 2019-2020 school year at its meeting on April 16.

School board member Robert Tenga, who chairs the school district’s Budget

and Finance Committee, said that the proposed expenditures are increasing by about $1.27 million over the current fiscal year. As a result, Tenga said, a one-percent tax increase is still under consideration for 2019-2020.

“We still have to decide on that,” Tenga said.

The millage rate for the current year stands at 31.1484

mills. The millage rate would increase to 31.4599 mills for 2019-2020, if the budget were approved with a onepercent tax increase.

A tax increase of one percent would equate to a $39 increase in the tax bill for the average taxpayer in the district.

INDEX Opinion.......................7A Obituaries...................2B

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer With the pace of the work on the construction of the new parking garage picking up, some adjustments are being made to the project.

At its April 15 meeting, Oxford Borough Council approved several change orders related to the project.

There was a big increase in costs for one aspect of the project, but that was balanced by a decrease in costs in another area.

It was more costly than anticipated to make some of the ground improvements for the foundation of the parking garage. A change order totaling $97,649 was necessary, and council signed off on the change.

However, this was balanced by another change order that resulted in a savings of $71,450. Some windows for the parking garage that were included

in the original designs have now been removed. There were also some minor changes, such as the flooring for the elevators being switched to a less expensive option. Council approved this change order, too, although council member Peggy Ann Russell did vote against the change because she favored keeping the windows. The vote was 5-1 in favor of the change order.

A third change order, for $1,327.49 was unanimously approved. This change order was necessary because of increased costs for some of the materials.

Overall, the three change orders resulted in additional expenses of about $27,000 for the borough.

Borough council authorized a payment of $401,223.49 to CPS Construction Group for the work on the parking garage project.

At its first organizational meeting, held on an evening of threatening weather, over 60 residents attended.

Unlike the successful Friday Farmers Market that is held at the Genesis Walkway and showcases the freshly grown produce of local farmers, as well as goods made by bakers and artisans, the Kennett Food Co-op will serve as a seven-days-a-week, community-owned grocery store, located within walking distance of most homes in the Kennett Square Borough. The Co-op board is currently working with partners like the Food Co-op Initiative and the Pennsylvania-Area Cooperative Alliance, as well as with several Kennett Square-based organizations.

Starting a retail business of this kind requires several steps before welcoming the first visitors, and Mendenhall and the Kennett Square Food Co-op board members are currently still wrapping up the preparation and planning stage of the

Local News State Sens. Collett and Laughlin announce legislation to establish statewide family and medical leave program Sen. Maria Collett (D-Montgomery/Bucks) and Sen. Dan Laughlin (R-Erie) have introduced “The Family Care Act” to establish a statewide Family and Medical Leave Insurance Program.

Every day, Pennsylvanians struggle to care for themselves and their loved ones without access to paid family and medical leave. Too often this means families face collapsing into financial ruin because of a cancer diagnosis or the birth of a new child.

In 2018, the Swain family of Upper Moreland Township received the news that their infant daughter

Emersyn had a congenital heart defect. Without access to paid family and medical leave, Emersyn’s parents struggled to make ends meet while spending months in the hospital with their daughter before her tragic passing. According to Emersyn’s mother Jackie: “In Emersyn’s honor, we’ve dedicated ourselves to advocating for paid family and medical leave to ensure other families can care for their loved ones without worrying about financial hardship or losing their job.”

“No one should have to choose between caring for a sick family member and

keeping their job,” said Sen. Collett. “This legislation will help provide the flexibility and financial security that hard-working Pennsylvanians like the Swain family deserve.”

“The program created by this legislation would provide a basic ‘safety net’ that would allow for some financial stability for families during their time of need,” said Sen. Laughlin.

“In times of crisis, especially when it involves a serious health issue, families have enough to be concerned about without having to worry about how they are going to pay their bills.”

Under “The Family Care Act,” all working individuals would make small contributions from their weekly earnings to the leave program, which would be administered by the Department of Labor & Industry. Workers can then utilize the fund when they need it – to care for themselves or a close family member in the event of a serious health condition, to care for a new child, or to care for a member of the military in qualifying circumstances. Leave benefits will be calculated on a graduated scale to make sure the program is accessible to all workers, regardless of how much they earn.

directed to contact the borough’s police department.

Now, they would be directed to the Codes Enforcement office, which has been bolstered in recent years.

Borough council approved an updated Emergency Operations Plan. This plan, which outlines a response to an emergency in the borough, must be reviewed every two years to make certain that it is in compliance with the county’s regulations for emergency operations plans.

Ketcham also polled his fellow council members regarding a list of priorities that are under consideration by the Oxford Regional Planning Commission. The Oxford Regional Planning Commission had asked officials from each of the municipalities to identify some priorities for the commission. Oxford Borough officials leaned toward

urban housing, employment training, and fire service issues as their top priorities among a list of about nine different issues. Ketcham said that he will report back to the commission about Oxford Borough’s priorities.

In her report to borough council, Oxford Borough Mayor Lorraine Bell provided an update about the planning for the Memorial Day Parade on Monday, May 27. A committee has been hard at work attempting to make the parade bigger and better than ever.

Bell said that she has enjoyed receiving emails from people who have reached out to say that they are willing to participate in the parade. Sometimes, it’s a military veteran who has not participated in the parade in the last few years who want to get involved again, while other times it is a representative from a

community group that has an interest in the parade.

Several people have also volunteered to have their classic cars showcased in the parade.

Bell also noted that the parade and the Memorial Day ceremony are separate events, and if there would be rain on that day the cancellation of the parade would not mean the cancellation of the ceremony. There is an option, Bell said, to hold the ceremony inside.

Bell said that she’s been delighted by the response from the community regarding the effort to bring new life to the Memorial Day Parade.

“There’s lots of interest and lots of people who want to be a part of it,” Bell said.

“It’s exciting.”

Council also approved an expenditure of $145,439.39 to Paterson for water main improvements on Broad Street. This expenditure is related to a larger streetscape project.

Borough council unanimously approved an update to its ordinance related to Transient Retail Businesses.

Examples would be food trucks that are brought into the borough on a temporary basis, or the person who sells merchandise during the Halloween Parade.

“We’re cleaning up some of the language of the ordinance,” explained council member Robert Ketcham.

He explained that one small change with the new ordinance is that, if someone is interested in a retail pursuit in the borough, they previously would have been

There’s another benefit to the event besides all the fun. It’s hosted by the Chester County Council of the Boy Scouts of America, and profits will help defray the cost of scouting for young people through the Friends of Scouting Program.

Specifically, scouts in the Kennett Consolidated, Unionville-Chadds Ford, Avon Grove, Octorara, Oxford and Cecil County school districts will get funds that help families buy uniforms, pay registration fees, and pay fees for camps and leadership training.

Admission to the event is $3, and all foods and beverages will be for sale. Wristbands for admission, as well as more information, is available at www.brandywinebbq.com.

In other business at the April 16 meeting, superintendent David Woods talked about the school district’s ongoing efforts to establish a Navy National Defense Cadet Corps unit at the high school. The school district has been exploring the possibility of a partnership with the U.S. Department of the Navy for nearly two years, and the program would not be started before July 1, 2020.

Should the school district introduce a Navy National Defense Cadet Corps unit, at least one instructor with a background in the Navy would need to be brought on board to lead the program, Woods said. Before that, the district will need to evaluate the level of interest among students for the program. The district will also look into curriculum and staffing requirements, and the potential impact they could have on the budget before moving forward with the partnership.

Woods said that establishing a Navy National Defense Cadet unit remains on his list of goals for another year.

School board member Jenifer Warren asked about whether there is a minimum number or a maximum number of students who would need to participate.

Woods replied that while he didn’t think there was a specific minimum number or maximum number of students, the district would want to get as many students as possible involved.

The program must still be approved by the Department of the Navy if the school district decides to establish the program.

Unionville Fair enters its 95th Celebrate Canine Partners for year with new leadership Life and its 30th anniversary Since it began in 1924 as a school harvest festival, the Unionville Community Fair has grown into a community institution.

The fair remains focused on showcasing activities and displays that educate the community about the importance of agriculture, homemaking and the arts.

After three years as president, Deb Deckman has stepped down to pursue other endeavors. Bonnie Musser has volunteered to step up as president for the 2019 fair. Musser has a long history of supporting the fair. She began serving on the board in 1978, as a director of baked goods, board secretary, and eventually several terms as president in the 1980s.

Musser has overseen the publishing of the fair catalog for most of the years since then. She has been attending the fair since she was an infant.

Her mother and aunt were both Fair Queens, then called Harvest Queens.

Also joining the leadership team as president-elect is Cindy Wallace. As a longtime resident of the area, Wallace has many fond childhood memories of the fair. Her family’s farm produced many crops that were entered in the fair.

Wallace works in the tech industry but remains connected to her agricultural background.

She lives on part of the farm that her grandparents

bought in the 1940s, and raises chickens, ducks and goats. Her children are active participants in the fair. They won the 2018 family award and Katrina Wallace is a twotime winner of the Robert Struble youth award.

The fair is operated by an all-volunteer staff.

There is always a need for new volunteers. More information can be found at www.ucfair.org.

This year’s fair will be held Oct. 4 to 6. In addition to the return of many of the traditional activities, the fair will see the popular wine and beer garden and 5K run return this year.

Also in the works is a haunted tent attraction and new animal displays.

Franklin supervisors clear the way for approval of MS4 permit plans

By John Chambless Staff Writer The Franklin Township Board of Supervisors continued to grapple with the requirements of the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer system permit at their April 17 meeting.

The permit that the township is required to submit to the Department of Environmental Protection has been on the agenda for several months. The last permit application submitted by the township was rejected, and an extension was granted until June 15.

At last month’s meeting, the supervisors recommended adding tree planting as a solution to reduce stream pollutants.

Township Manager Joan McVaugh estimates that the tree planting would cost about $50,000, with two years of initial maintenance.

McVaugh explained that if the trees are planted to allow for mowing in both directions, vines and invasive species won’t be as much of an issue. The supervisors authorized the advertising of the MS4 permit plans for a public review period through June 19, with approval by the supervisors expected at

their June 19 meeting.

A hard copy of the plans is available at the Township Office.

Public comments will be received via email (info@franklintownship. us), or in person.

The fate of the vacant home at 3327 Appleton Road in Kemblesville rests with the Court of Common Pleas, and township solicitor Mark Thompson told the board that a decision should be forthcoming this summer. The entire zoning officer’s report is posted on the township website.

The first official joint Historical Commission and Historical Architectural Review Board meeting was held on April 2. Chairman Paul Lagasse explained that a lot of the topics discussed by these two commissions overlap, so it made sense to try and combine the meetings.

The voting process is separate.

The annual reports were approved for submittal to the Board of Supervisors.

The meeting reviewed the 896 Improvement Plans and the walkability of the Village District. The Section 106 Evaluation of Historic Properties is coming to an end and is expected to finish in midMay, when the response

period to PennDOT’s report on the possibility of a rural historic district along Route 896 ends.

The Historical Commission will begin doing deed research on the Church Hill African Cemetery in the coming months. The finalization of the Historical Resources Map of the township, which will include several updates, will also happen in the coming months.

The supervisors also discussed the township comprehensive plan.

Supervisor Nancy Morris met on April 10 with three members of the Chester County Planning Commission and three representatives from the township. The meeting detailed the path forward on how to ensure the township’s comprehensive plan aligns with Chester County’s newly adopted comprehensive plan, Landscapes 3. County representatives can help the township beginning next month. The township can apply for a grant to offset the costs.

Volunteers plant 1,500 trees for National Volunteer Week Stroud Water Research Center r e c e n t ly celebrated National Volunteer Week on a spring afternoon by planting six acres of trees adjacent to a tributary of White Clay Creek at the Brandywine Polo Club.

Volunteers from Exelon Generation, one of the monetary supporters of the planting, were joined by volunteers from Barclaycard U.S., Brandywine Polo Club, Dansko, First Resource Bank, Upland Country Day School, Wild Birds Unlimited of Hockessin, and local community members to plant more than 1,500 trees and shelters.

“A t Exelon Generation, we know that being strong environmental stewards helps drive a more sustainable future,” said John Barnes, senior vice president of Exelon Generation and president of Exelon Power. “Our team is proud to deliver on that promise today with our activities at the Stroud Water Research Center.”

An intermittent stream is one that ceases to flow in very dry periods but still provides a lot of water on an annual basis to the main creek.

Stroud Center scientists have learned that these streams have great impacts on the health of freshwater systems, and research shows that planting trees along intermittent streams helps keep pollutants from getting into them and jeopardizing the quality of water in the main stream. This planting will help protect White Clay Creek, a primary source of drinking water for Newark, Del. Twelve species of native plants and shrubs were chosen for this site. Choosing native species for forested buffers is important for providing food for birds and mammals.

“When it comes to providing a sustainable

source of clean fresh water for both humans and wildlife, each tree counts in a watershed. If you want to help, plant a native species of tree in your backyard,” said Bern Sweeney, research scientist emeritus of the Stroud Center. “The support and commitment of companies like Exelon Generation and Wild Birds Unlimited of Hockessin is vital to our ability to install these plantings. We are grateful for their support and enthusiasm to spend the day planting trees for the health of our streams.”

submitted for consideration by the Historical Commission that were outlined by township Solicitor Vine Pompo at the start of the hearing.

If the proposed amendment is approved, it will redefine the purpose and authority of the commission. As stipulated in the reworded amendment, the commission’s role is to “promote, protect enhance and preserve historic resources for the educational, cultural, economic and general welfare of the public,” as stated in Section 200-165 of the proposed amendment. To best achieve this purpose, the amendment proposes that the commission serve as an advisory board to the supervisors and township zoning officer in matters of the future of historic properties and historic resources in the township.

This authority would extend to any planned renovation or addition to the exterior of a historic home only – not the home’s interior.

Further, the proposed amendment establishes “a process by which proposed alterations, demolitions or relocations affecting historic properties in the township are reviewed by both the board and the Historical Commission.”

In introducing the revised ordinance, Historical Commission member Lynn Sinclair said that it represents “a refinement of language and an expansion of procedures, especially when it comes to alterations and demolition.” Sinclair was soon joined by commission members David Hawk and long-time township historian Dr. Margaret “Peg” Jones.

One township resident expressed concern that being forced to meet with the Historical Commission before making a house renovation presents homeowners with the added burden of having “to go through two hoops” for approval, he said.

“It does go without saying that if you have a property that is located on the historic map, there is another overlay of zoning regulations that you would be responsible for,” Pompo said.

Jones attempted to quell the audience’s concerns that the proposed ordinance, if passed, will give the Historical Commission the final say on any alterations proposed for historic properties in the township.

“What seems to have escaped a lot of people’s attention as they fret about this revised ordinance is that number one, this is just a revision to an existing ordinance,” Jones said,

making reference to the historical preservation ordinance that was originally enacted in 2009. “Very little has changed, and then, in terms of what the Historical Commission can do, the commission’s role is to advise, make recommendations, research and educate.

I don’t hear anything compulsory in any of those words.

“People who are distressed about this don’t realize that the Historical Commission is an organization designed to help and support the residents of the township who either own or admire historic properties, so that we can keep as much of what we have, as best we can, and [to assure] that we [township residents who are historic property owners] don’t make silly changes because we [they] didn’t know any better.”

Jones said that the only voting influence in matters of historic significance in the township belong to the supervisors. “We have no ability to act,” she told the audience.

Several other residents said that they were surprised to receive a letter from the township that indicated that their home had been listed on the historical resources map, and therefore will subject them to Historical Commission review if they wish to make alterations to their home. An Avondale resident said that she was surprised to see her home on the list, given that it was built in 1962.

“I’ve lived there for 17 years, and didn’t know until this year that I had a historic property,” she said.

Several New Garden Township residents who live in historic homes voiced their objection at the township’s April 22 Board of Supervisors meeting to a proposed township amendment that would, if passed, permit members of the township’s Historical Commission to review applications for the rehabilitation, enlargement or alteration of historic resources in the township.

“It surprises us, as well,” Jones responded, saying that there is a state regulation which declares that any structure older than 50 years is considered historic.

Another resident asked the commission for clarification on which party makes the final decision on a particular renovation or addition to a historic home. Is it the Historic Commission, the township’s zoning code officer, the township’s zoning hearing board, or the homeowner?

“You will have access to suggestions and recommendations, but you will make the decision,” Jones said, later adding, “The [proposed] historical preservation ordinance is not telling you what to do with your house, but in terms of the history of our house, we’re here to advise, to

make recommendations and have a dialogue with you. That’s not a regulation, is it? That’s not going to interfere with selling your house.”

While the hearing may have smoothed the waters a bit on the proposed authority the commission may have in the event Article XXI is passed, the supervisors felt their decision to place a hold on their ruling will give them the opportunity to advertise for a followup hearing, when they will get to hear additional comments from the public, and be able to render a decision on the proposed revisions.

The general public is invited to attend the Historical Commission’s meetings, which take place on the first Wednesday of every month, beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the Township Building.

In other township busi-

ness, the board gave final land development approval to the construction of six box holder hangars at the New Garden Flying Field.

The holders, which will be owned by and paid for by private entities, will be 60’ x 60’ in size, and will be located at the west end of the airport. The project is being designed by the engineering firm of L.R. Kimball. The project will go out soon for construction cost estimate bidding.

The public is invited to a May 14 workshop that will discuss the conceptual plans for the revitalization of Toughkenamon. The event will be held at the Harvest Ridge Winery tasting room on Newark Road, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Redistricting reforms would lead to better governing

What’s the real story behind a 9-0 vote to build a new school for Avon Grove?

Do you know who wins when a political party can gerrymander “safe” districts where the elected official only has to please voters of his or her own party?

The political party wins.

Everybody else loses.

Pennsylvania is one of many states across the country where gerrymandering has created legislative districts that are at best illogical and unfair, and at worst an unseemly corruption of our democratic process.

Pennsylvania State Sen. Lisa Boscola has introduced statewide redistricting reform legislation that would establish an 11-member, independent citizen’s commission to redraw Congressional and state legislative district maps. The legislation would require significant public input, establish map-drawing standards, and create a fair process for map adoption.

Politicians from both parties have already proven that they can’t be trusted to oversee the map-drawing process, and that they can’t be counted on to put the needs of citizens first. One of the reasons that politicians have almost completely abandoned the middle ground of the political spectrum in favor of the “far right” or “far left” is gerrymandering. Why compromise and make deals on legislation with the opposing party when it’s far easier to appease the narrow base?

Some common-sense redistricting reforms are necessary to ensure that we have a representative democracy. Hopefully, state lawmakers can work toward legislation that will result in a method of redistricting that is fair for everyone.

Letter to the Editor: As a member of the Avon Grove School Board, I am writing to clarify a misunderstanding that has been publicly promoted regarding the vote to build a new high school for the Avon Grove School District.

This is my statement alone and does not represent the entire school board.

Detailed explorations into alternatives to new construction (e.g. renovation of the current high school) were eliminated during the review process by a fivemember majority of the school board, leaving only two options for further consideration.

One option involved building a new middle school on the Jennersville property and a radical

expansion of the current high school that created a new high school by combining the existing high school and middle school buildings. This option is commonly referred to as 1C. Building a new high school on the Jennersville property and renovating the existing high school to become the new middle school was known as 1A (the current plan).

The cost, complexity and risk of a cost/schedule over-run for 1C (new middle school) are significantly greater than 1A (new high school). Despite those liabilities, there was strong support for 1C by a vocal public minority and the controlling majority of the board. In discussions prior to the official vote, only Bill Wood initially

expressed support for 1A and it seemed clear that 1C was going to be the final choice.

To steer the Board decision away from 1C to 1A, the minority needed to express support for 1A; once this occurred, the rest of the board followed suit.

While it would have been possible to express support for 1A during the pre-vote discussion but vote “no” at the business meeting, it seemed disingenuous to do so. The final result was a unanimous “yes” vote for option 1A which is what is frequently referenced. In a separate vote at the same meeting, the board also approved a funding level of $127 million. Months later in November, the Board approved a parameters borrowing resolution for $139

million. Four members of the board, including myself, voted “no” to both funding resolutions, stating that the long-term cost-burden on the school district’s finances and community was too great.

I remain hopeful that we will implement a solution to the challenges facing Avon Grove School District that minimizes the financial impact to the community while focusing on the needs of our students by rejecting non-essential elements (wants) such as a Community Health Center, Pre-K Early Learning Center and a duplicate competition stadium.

Oxford Borough mayor seeks nominations for Citizen Recognition Awards Oxford Borough Mayor Lorraine Bell announced last week that she is once again seeking nominations for the Citizen Recognition Awards.

Established in 2006, the Citizen Recognition Awards are a way to recognize citizens for their unheralded work in making Oxford a better place to live, work, and enjoy life. The success of any community is built on the

efforts of individuals and organizations committed to working for the common good of all. The strength of a community does not rest in the power of government, but is built on the foundation of its citizens.

Oxford has been blessed by the contributions of many hometown heroes.

Citizen Recognition Awards will honor individuals and organizations that exemplify a commitment to

improving the quality of life in the Borough of Oxford, and to those who do the work necessary to keep the Oxford community strong and vibrant. The awards are intended to also honor individuals and organizations that make significant contributions to the fabric and sense of community.

To qualify for consideration individuals must be residents of the Borough, or work or volunteer in busi-

nesses or organizations in the Borough. Anyone can nominate an individual or organization for consideration for the Citizen Recognition Award.

The submission deadline for this year’s awards is May 15.

Nomination forms can be picked up at the Oxford Police Station, the Borough Hall or downloaded from the borough web site at www.oxfordboro.org.

How politics has changed

By Lee H. Hamilton I became active in politics in the late 1950s, got elected to Congress in 1964, and have remained engaged in one way or another every year since then. I’ve had a ringside seat for a long time.

So I suppose I should not be surprised that I get asked a lot these days how American politics have changed over the last six decades.

A few things stand out.

When I first arrived in Congress, Americans had faith in the institutions of government.

President Lyndon Johnson had actually run on a platform that we could successfully wage a war on poverty — and been elected. It seems inconceivable today that a politician of prominence would be so bold and so naïve as to propose such a thing, let alone believe that we could do it.

Today, Americans have little confidence in government’s ability to deliver.

And with reason: Congress can’t even pass a budget on time, and even the most routine matters get bottled up.

A war successfully waged on anything domestic seems beyond its grasp.

We can argue about when this shift began — was it catalyzed or merely summarized by President Ronald Reagan when he famously said that government is the problem, not the solution?

Regardless, the days of LBJstyle confidence are long gone.

The second big difference is the extreme political intensity we see all around

us. Almost every facet of politics is more complicated and pursued more vigorously, with a harder edge to it, than when I began.

Voters are more demanding and want instant results.

Consultants are everywhere you turn. Lobbyists have multiplied and become immeasurably sophisticated and effective at finding ways to get what they want. Interest groups have exploded in number and competency. The media has become more aggressive. And money, of course, has become an avalanche.

Politics has shifted from low-intensity conflict to big business — and very serious business, at that.

With all this, of course, the sharp polarization that marks our politics today has flourished. We’ve always had partisanship, but today it penetrates everything: the electorate, the political parties, legislatures, Congress, and the White House.

Which has led to one of the greater ironies of this era.

On the one hand, the political world is flooded with information — it used to be that one of the chief tasks of a politician and policy-maker was to gather information; today your problem is sorting through it. On the other hand, in this atmosphere deliberations are often based less on facts, experts and evidence than on partisan beliefs. In a sea of information, we’re drowning in misinformation.

Finally, the audience for politics has changed. When you spoke to the Rotary Club

in southern Indiana in the 1960s, you were speaking to Rotary members in southern Indiana. Today, you could very well be speaking to the world. Whatever you say can become available everywhere in a matter of hours, if not minutes. Newsworthy events and statements that once took days to stoke a reaction today get an instantaneous — and often hot-blooded — response.

This has all made the work of politics and governing much more difficult.

Organizations intensively scrutinize every tiny step, and can gin up a massive response at a moment’s notice. The basic building blocks of politics — gathering facts, deliberating on next steps, finding common ground — have become charged in their own right, subject to partisan attack.

Bridging our divisions over health care, taxation, immigration, the debt and deficits, and U.S. intervention abroad seems ever more elusive. Plain and simple, it’s become harder to make the country work.

When I began in politics, elected officials felt a respon-

sibility to find their way through difficult problems together. They believed that compromise and negotiation were core political values, intrinsic to our democracy and crucial to making it work for everyone. There are still plenty of politicians who believe this — but also plenty who do not, who have shown they can thrive in a political environment that stacks the deck against the shared work of finding common ground.

We’ve come a long way as a country over the last six decades. But when it comes to politics as a democratic endeavor to address the nation’s challenges? We’ve lost ground.

Henderson defeats Oxford, 7-2

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer West Chester Henderson scored five runs in the fifth inning to defeat Oxford, 7-2, on Monday afternoon.

The Hornets claimed an early lead when, with one out in the bottom of the first, Jimmy Yunker laced a double down the left field line. One out later, Joey Morton drove a double to deep right-center field, plating Yunker.

Oxford starting pitcher Justin Neskie whiffed three Henderson hitters in the first inning. Oxford then turned in a good defensive play behind Neskie in the top of the second when Yunker fielded a grounder off the bat of Cole Steven and started a nice double-play that was completed when Brennan Rozich made a nice turn at second base.

Henderson tied the game in the top of the third when Owen McCarthy singled, Patrick Esemplare walked, and Brendan Gray singled to score McCarthy. Neskie did a good job of getting out of trouble, however, by retiring the next three hitters on a fly out to center, a strikeout, and a ground out. The game was tied, 1-1 after three innings.

McCarthy drove in Henderson’s second run of the game when he singled to left in the top of the fourth.

Oxford answered right back in the bottom of the

fourth when Jay Morton singled to left, stole second base, and then scored on a single by Dalen Griffith.

Neskie stepped into the batter’s box next, and he promptly doubled to rightcenter that put runners on second and third with no outs.

Now, it was Henderson starting pitcher Brendan Gray’s turn to pitch himself out of trouble.

Gray coaxed a fly out to short right field, and then struck out the next hitter.

He ended the scoring threat by getting a ground out to send the game to the fifth inning. It was 2-2.

Henderson

Continued from Page 10A

Henderson plated five runs off Oxford’s bullpen in the top of the fifth— without the benefit of an extra-base hit. Instead, the team relied on patience at the plate, aggressive baserunning, and a few well-placed hits.

Gray walked to lead off the inning. Casey Caufield singled, and then Logan Conduit hit a pop fly in short right field that dropped in for a single. One run scored and runners were at first and third. Conduit stole second base and then Eddie Smink worked a walk to load the bases. Caufield raced home when the last pitch bounced away from the catcher, making it 4-2.

Eric Angle singled in the next run, and there were runners at the corners.

Another run scored on an infield single by Steven, making it 6-2. One out later, Angle hustled home on a wild pitch to give Henderson the 7-2 lead.

Gray pitched a scoreless inning in the bottom half of the fifth, and then Henderson called on reliever Danny Collinson to finish off the last two innings. Collinson hit one batter in the sixth, but that was the only runner to reach base for the Hornets in the final two innings.

Henderson’s record improved to 4-5 on the season, while Oxford’s record now stands at 6-4.

Oxford hosts Kennett on April 24 and then travels to play Great Valley for a game on April 26.

Avondale artist spotlighted at country club

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer About six months ago, Avondale artist Wendy Cotton was having dinner with her husband at the Kennett Square Golf & Country Club, when she noticed a local artist’s work displayed in the club’s main lobby.

“I thought, ‘Look at all of this beautiful artwork. How can I involved in this?’” Cotton said.

Immediately, she sent images of her artwork to the club to be considered for inclusion in the lobby. The results of her inquiry will soon lead to a 25-piece mixed-media showcase of Cotton’s work, which will be on display in the club’s main lobby from May 3 to June 5.

Cotton is the latest of several artists who have exhibited at the club since the rotating gallery began in May 2017. Artists are selected by the club’s House Committee, which works with local schools, galleries and art festivals. They get a showcase that lasts from a month to three months, depending on the season.

“We redesigned our main lobby and saw it as an opportunity for us to bring in new artwork,” said Jason Feller, general manager of the Kennett Golf & Country Club. “We had some friends of the club offer to hang work temporarily, and soon, our members told us, ‘Why can’t we do this on a continuing basis and showcase local artists?’

“This rotating gallery allows artists to showcase their work to

the greater public, and it allows the club to showcase beautiful artwork for 12 months of the year,” Feller added. “It gives the artist and the club a chance to aesthetically benefit from each other.”

Cotton’s artistic career has taken a circuitous journey to her current role as a mixedmedia artist. After graduating from Dennison University, she began as a professional studio potter, but expanded her artistic palette in 2007, when she took a watercolor class at Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts in Tennessee.

“I needed another challenge, and took a week-long course

in watercolor,” Cotton said. “I hadn’t painted since kindergarten, and I just fell in love with it. It is different from pottery, but it was a nice transition, because all of the design principles I learned from pottery lent themselves well to painting.”

After making the switch from watercolor to mixedmedia, Cotton’s work has been showcased at many galleries and festivals, including the CCArts Artisan Show in Yorklyn, Del., the Radley Run Arts Show, the Unionville Art Gala, the Media Art Festival, the Chester County Art Association, and the Community Arts Center in

Wallingford, where she studied with mixed-media and collage artist Nancy Barch.

Cotton’s work, which she describes as “design driven,” reflects a paint and collage effect, where the background of the canvas receives an application of paint from a drywall spatula, followed by layers and shapes and texture, highlighted through the use a very recognizable figure or item, such as a large bicycle or a fish.

“My work is abstract, but now that I have been trying to market myself more, I find that abstract, particularly in this area, is a difficult sell,” she said.

“However, I have found that if I include the photo image of a tree or a bird – something that the viewer can latch onto -- I’m able to create my abstract, bright colors, and yet allow them to have that connection to what they’re looking at.”

As part of Cotton’s gallery show, the club will host a champagne reception with Cotton on May 22 from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

The show at the country club will not be the only opportunity local art lovers will have this year to see Cotton’s paintings.

She will be one of 50 local artists whose work will be on display this June at the 2019

Weekend of Art, at the Genesis Building on State Street in Kennett Square.

“Because I was a professional potter for so long, I can’t be just a hobbyist,” she said of her art.

“I have to get my work out there and get feedback from the community, and selling my work is part of my validation.”

To learn more about the art of Wendy Cotton, visit her on Facebook. The Kennett Square Golf & Country Club is at 100 East Locust Lane, Kennett Square.

Young artists exhibit award-winning works in Oxford

By John Chambless Staff Writer There are ordinary student art shows, and then there’s the level of excellence seen at the Solanco High School Art Exhibition at the Oxford Arts Alliance. The school has an uncanny collection of artistic talent, judging by the works here, which cover a wide range of mediums.

The exhibit features awardwinning works that have been honored in the National Scholastic Art Awards, which features the most outstanding work from the top one percent of students in the nation.

The black-and-white photos

by Tyson Grant are elegantly done, getting to the heart of each subject. The young woman in “Acceptance,” with her nose ring and wary expression, says a lot about teen social rules. And Grant’s “Peace” is wonderfully composed.

Tyler Allen’s still life painting with a cardinal, “Out on a Limb,” is exceptional, as are his still life of onions (“Aromatics”) and his dazzling symphony of fruit skin colors and textures in the still life “Reunion,” which adds the complexity of depicting reflections in Christmas tree decorations as a final measure of excellence.

There’s a range of distinctive works by Olivia Stoltzfus, who

‘Celadon Rose’ by Chase Charles.

has an artistic voice that’s fully developed, even though she’s just graduating from Solanco High School. Her nude, “Felix,” is dynamic, but her self-portraits – “Daughter,” “Summer Self Portrait” and “Integrity” – show a high degree of awareness and a Grant Wood style, notably the pastel “Integrity,” which has a splendid texture and color palette. Stoltzfus also depicts her family’s roots in the sweet, nostalgic “Looking Down With Compassion.”

Among the threedimensional works, Abigail Yoder’s sculpture “Dreaming” captures an introspective, unguarded moment with perfect grace. The pottery vessels – “Celadon Rose” by Chase Charles, and “Lavish Briny Deep” by Marguerite Segich among them – show formidable skill in design and execution. Mackenzie Roth’s

“Straightforward Tea Set” is a great piece of design, and the two wire self-portraits sculptures by Hannah Weickel and Paris Tomlinson are lovely 3-D drawings done with wire that capture features and a bit of their personalities as well.

You will walk away from

this show dazzled by the technical skill and confidence of these young artists, and looking forward to what they’ll produce in the many years ahead in their art careers.

MARY E. COZZONE

Mary Gibson Mair, 99, formerly of Kennett Square, died on April 6 at Brookdale Spruce Wood Senior Living in Durham, N.H. She was predeceased by Robert Dixon Mair, her husband of 57 years.

Born in Tracyville, New Brunswick, Canada, she was the daughter of the late Hannah (Evans) and Stewart E. Gibson. She worked as a legal secretary in Fredericton, NB before her marriage, and as a secretary in the Unionville School District after her children grew up. She studied at the Rhode Island School of Design and West Chester University.

Mary was a member of the Presbyterian Church of Kennett Square for over 50 years. She sang in the church choir and served in many volunteer positions, including as Elder and a member of the Christian Education Committee that started the church kindergarten. Mary loved music and poetry. She was a member of the Northern Delaware Oratorical Society and the Community Chorus in Kennett Square, and instilled a love of writing and reading in all her children. Concerned about a tragic drowning in the early 1960s, she worked with a group of women to develop the Southeastern Chester County Red Cross Learn-to-Swim Program and volunteered for many years as a swimming instructor in local ponds and pools.

Mary was an avid bridge player and won duplicate tournaments well into her 90s. She was a member of the Appalachian Mountain Club, and with her husband hiked the Milford Track in New Zealand, the Alps in Switzerland, Austria, and France, and climbed Mt. Snowden in Wales.

Mary is survived, and sorely missed, by her four children, Marilynn, Robert (Susan), Ian, and Wendy (Tim); her nine grandchildren; and her six great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her seven sisters; and is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

County participates in National Prescription Drug Take Back Day Chester County’s Department of Drug & Alcohol Services is spreading community awareness for National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, taking place on April 27.

Organized nationwide by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), National Prescription Drug Take Back Day provides temporary local sites for safe, convenient and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while educating the public about the potential for abuse of medications.

From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, temporary prescription drug disposal sites will be set up throughout Chester County, in locations including Avondale, Coatesville, Downingtown, Paoli and West Grove.

Prescription drug misuse is an ever-growing epidemic, not only in Chester County, but across the nation.

Commonly misused prescription drugs fall into three different categories which include opioids, which are pain relievers and have a similar chemical makeup as heroin; sedatives, which are used to treat anxiety and depression; and stimulants, which increase attention, energy, blood pressure, heart rate and breathing rate.

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the average age for the first use of prescription drugs in the United States is 13 years old.

Prescription drugs are often mistaken by adolescents as a “safe” alternative to illegal street drugs, which leads to

increasing use. In addition to the misconception that prescription drugs are “safer” than illegal drugs, they are easily accessible in medicine cabinets and homes. Both of these factors lead to increased use.

“In order to decrease first-time use of prescription drugs, it is imperative to begin with prevention efforts,” said Vince Brown, director of the Chester County Department of Drug and Alcohol Services.

“In addition to education and awareness, prescription drug misuse prevention includes locking up or monitoring prescription medications that are in the home and disposing of any unneeded or expired prescription medications at a medication collection box.”

Prescription painkillers such as Vicodin, Percocet, Oxycodone, Fentanyl, and Morphine, among others, are in the opioid classification of prescription drugs. Opioid prescription drugs essentially have the same chemical makeup as heroin, which means they affect the brain and body the same.

To learn more information, or to get involved, log onto the Overdose Prevention Task Force website, StopODChesco.org.

Collection boxes for prescription drugs in Chester County are at 26 permanent locations, and for National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on April 27 an additional six temporary locations will be established.

Lewis, a prominent civil rights leader and representative of Georgia’s 5th congressional district, will speak at Lincoln University’s 160th Commencement ceremony Sunday, May 5.

“John Lewis’s legacy as a civil rights leader and legislator aligns with the values and mission of Lincoln University, which is to educate and empower students to lead their communities and change the world,” said Lincoln University president Brenda A. Allen. “It is our hope that graduates and those in attendance at the ceremony will be inspired by the heartening words of Congressman Lewis.”

Lewis assumed office Jan. 3, 1987, and has been serving Georgia’s 5th District in the United States House of Representatives for the past 30 years.

He is a member of the House Ways and Means Committee and is the chair of the Subcommittee on Oversight. Rep. Lewis is the senior chief deputy democratic whip and is often referred to as the “conscience” of the United States Congress.

Born in 1940 to

U.S. Rep. John R. Lewis

sharecroppers in Troy, Ala., Lewis was raised during the era of Jim Crow law -- a series of laws that enforced racial segregation in the South.

After being inspired by the Montgomery Bus Boycott and words of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Lewis joined the civil rights movement.

During his time as a student at Fisk University, Lewis organized sit-in lunch demonstrations, and in 1961 joined the Freedom Riders, who protested segregation by occupying bus seats reserved for whites. Bus riders were routinely attacked by violent mobs, leading to Lewis being arrested and beaten.

Lewis also served as chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and was one of the leaders who organized the 1963

March on Washington, where he gave a keynote address. A year later, he participated in voter registration drives in Mississippi, and in 1965 joined other civil rights leaders and led more than 600 marchers in Selma, Ala. The march received national attention and is credited with influencing the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Before being elected to Congress, Lewis served in the Carter administration, leading a federal volunteer organization, and later served as a member of the Atlanta City Council.

Dr. Martin L. Kilson, Jr. ’53, a Harvard University professor emeritus, will receive an honorary degree at Lincoln’s commencement ceremony. In 1969, Kilson became the first African American scholar to receive a full professorship at Harvard College.

More than 350 students will graduate from Lincoln University at the May event, The ceremony will be held outside on the Thurgood Marshall L iv i n g Learning Center Lawn at 10 a.m. No tickets are required. Baccalaureate will be held May 4 at 3 p.m. in the International Cultural Center.

The Har vest Ridge Winery in Toughkenamon will be hosting its first annual Grapes and Grub Fest on April 27 from noon to 5 p.m., raising funds for Hero-Hunts Foundation. The group’s mission is to connect military veterans with outdoor activities and recreation.

The foundation was founded by Chuck and Chris Nunan, who own the winery and Rebel Seed Cider.

The event will bring several local food trucks, including Kona Ice, On the Roll, 22BBQ, Baked, and Victory Brewing, who will be serving up food and beer. Music will be provided by the Stephanie Brown Duo

Leos lend a hand

County’s open space achievements to be celebrated May 2 Chester County residents are invited to attend a celebration that will mark the 30th anniversary of the open space preservation program in the county and recognize the economic benefits of these efforts.

The Chester County Open Space Summit will take place from 5 to 7 p.m.

May 2 at the Lenfest Center at ChesLen Preserve (1199 Cannery Rd., Coatesville).

Chester County was the first in the region to formally set aside funds for an open space preservation program. This event will celebrate the economic value of protected open spaces -- public parks, preserved farmland, and

private conserved lands -- and show the proven and substantial economic, environmental, and public health benefits to surrounding communities.

A partnership of county departments, land conservancies, and economic development agencies undertook a study to better understand and quantify these benefits.

The results of this study, “Return on Environment: The Economic Value of Protected Open Space in Chester County,” will be announced at this event.

For more information, visit https://chester-countyopen-space-summit. eventbrite.com.

Superhero benefit run/walk Artisans and others called to take part slated April 28 in Market Day

The Avon Grove Charter School Leo Club, sponsored by the Avon Grove Lions, recently volunteered at the Special Olympics Swim Meet at the Jennersville YMCA. They timed races, helped participants in and out of the pool, and gave out ribbons to the winners

Tractor Supply stores nationwide are calling for farmers, craft makers and artisans to sell their homemade and homegrown goods during Tractor Supply’s Market Day, which will be held Saturday, May 18.

The event is an opportunity for members of the community to show off their talents, whether

they have been selling their goods for years or have only been dreaming of turning a hobby into a business.

Whether the area of expertise is homemade crafts, candles, and soaps, or produce, baked goods, and handmade furniture, everyone is welcome to sign up. There is no fee to participate and

interested vendors can visit TSCeventpartners. com or their local Tractor Supply store to sign up by May 15.

“Our communities are filled with incredible talent,” said Mary Lawley, vice president of store administration. “As a company, we strive to support our communities and the out here lifestyle,

which is why we created Tractor Supply’s Market Day as a way to shine the spotlight on our talented neighbors by providing them with an easy and convenient way to share their goods with others.”

Market Day is a free event and is open to the public. To learn more, visit tractorsupply.com/ marketday.

On April 28 at 9 a.m. at Ridley Creek State Park in Media, CASA Youth Advocates, Inc., will hold its 4th Annual Superhero 5K Run/Walk.

Runners, walkers, children and pets are encouraged to dress as their favorite superhero to show their commitment to the organization, whose mission is to champion children in Delaware and Chester counties’ child welfare systems.

“This annual event is a true testament to the continued support we receive from our volunteers, board members, staff, and supporters. It’s a day for them to express outwardly who they represent to us and the children we serve – superheroes,” said CASA executive director Leigh Anne McKelvey.

CASA Youth Advocates recruits, trains and supports volunteer court appointed special advocates who work to ensure that abused and neglected children find safe, permanent, and nurturing homes.

In 2018, CASA served 231 of the region’s most

vulnerable children, and expanded into a second office in West Chester, yet that is only 20 percent of the children who could benefit from the support of a CASA volunteer.

Each 5K registrant receives a T-shirt, refreshments, water stations and prizes. The event includes awards for the top overall male and female race finishers, overall age group winners, best costume (for both humans and pets) and top sponsors.

Chip timing and logistics will be coordinated by Bryn Mawr Racing Company.

Event registration is $30 for adults and $15 for children 7 to 17 before April 21; $40 for adults and $20 for children 7 to 17 after April 21, including the day of the race. All children 6 and younger are free.

Ridley Creek State Park (Pavilion 17) is at 1023 Sycamore Mills Rd., Media. Visit https://runsignup.com/ Race/PA/Media/CASA ofDelcoandChester CountiesSuperhero 5KRunWalk
