Protesters, supporters turn out for Trump rally at WCU By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer The campus of West Chester University served as a microcosm of the divided American dialogue Monday afternoon, as more than 2,500 people – armed with signs, chants and attitude – converged upon South Church Street to voice their approval or rejection of the Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump, who
made a campaign stop at the Hollinger Field House before a crowd estimated at 3,000. Normally reserved for food trucks and students hustling to and from classes, the tree-lined avenue became the peaceful eye of a storm that brewed for several hours on both sides of the street. It began in the morning, as Trump supporters began to wait on line to get into the rally, converging at their thickest outside
of the campus public safety building. On the student services building side, a crowd of more than 200 gathered in the morning, holding signs that read “No Walls!” “Trump’s a Fraud,” and “Everyone is Entitled to Higher Education!” while on the other side, signs read “Make America Great Again” and “Build That Photo by Richard L.

Regional policing will stabilize coverage, costs, safety By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer
The graphic identity for the Southern Chester County Regional Police Department has already been designed. It contains an eagle with widespread wings. In its claws, the eagle holds a ribbon, on which is included “2016.” The eagle lends a sense of nobility. The date, however, is still the subject of negotiations.

street grew mightily in population. Eventually, the Trump supporters formed a contingent of red, white and blue that stretched for more than a quarter of a mile down South Church Street, around Goshen Hall and up Sharpless Street. By 2 p.m., the protesters had grown to a throng of more than 500, while a combination of campus security and West Chester police kept the center of the street reserved for traffic, keeping supporters and protestors confined to their designated areas. WCU officials reported that law enforcement officials made only one arrest during the rally, a nonstudent who was arrested
for disorderly conduct. The woman was issued a citation and later released from the Chester County Justice Center. Preparation for the visit of a candidate for President of the United States is often a planning and security headache for any institution, but in this case, the university was given 72 hours notice to prepare for the rally. Several students complained that the university’s acceptance of the Trump visit showed a lack of concern for academics, given that it was held during the last week of classes and on the eve of final exams. Although the rally was non-violent, tempers got a little testy throughout the day. Jarelo Broaddus, a stu-

he’d just heard coming at him from protesters across the street. “We have people who are coming to our event and trying to antagonize us,” he said. “We’re just trying to hear the message of someone who actually has a plan, but they just want to incite violence in us, through their derogatory messages. Mr. Trump’s plan is to stop a serious global problem, which is handing out free rides to people, which doesn’t work.” As for Trump, Monday’s stop in West Chester served as the icing-on-the-cake opportunity to cement a double-digit lead he had over his opponents in the Commonwealth, leading up to the April 26 primary. In several polls of Pennsylvania Republicans, Trump got support from 45 percent of likely primary voters in the state — followed by Ted Cruz at 27 percent and John Kasich at 24 percent.

Local News Lead the way... Continued from Page 1A
Project Lead The Way is a national program that prepares students from K-12 with a curriculum that emphasizes STEM— Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Even though they are still early in their high school careers, brothers Noah and Jacob Hewes are thinking about what careers they might pursue when they are adults. Noah likes statistics, while Jacob has an interest in math and science. They are taking Project Lead The Way courses because they want to be challenged academically. District officials say that Project Lead The Way is all about expanding horizons and pushing boundaries for students. While there are no tests to earn entry into the introductory Project Lead The Way course, the rigorous nature of the classes makes hard work a necessity. “These courses are taught at a college level,” explained Dr. Margaret Billings-Jones, the assistant superintendent of schools in Oxford. “The rigor of the courses is consistent with what the students want. They aren’t afraid to take the challenge.” “They are all extremely smart students,” Haney added. Ever since superintendent David Woods and BillingsJones joined the district in 2013, they supported the efforts to bring Project Lead The Way to Oxford schools because it offered more educational opportunities for students. Billings-Jones helped secure grant funding to launch the program. “We understood the need for STEM education and Project Lead The Way really brings all those disciplines together,” she said. The enrollment in Oxford’s Project Lead The Way has grown quickly as a result of the hands-on, project-based curriculum that is both challenging and engaging to students. That’s a powerful educational combination. Last year, the district had one Introduction to Engineering Design class, but this year there are two classes. The students who took the introduction class have advanced to the Principles of Engineering Design class this year and plan to take the next two steps in the progression. “We knew that once we got it in the school it was going to take off,” said high school principal Christopher Dormer. “The students are so engaged. And we have everybody in here—we have athletes and kids who are in the choir. It’s a great cross-section of our student population. We have students asking, ‘How do I jump in on this?’” In the classroom, Haney is not a sage on the stage talking at students for long stretches of time. Rather, he efficiently outlines the objectives of the assignment for the class—the way that a team leader might begin a workday with his team—and then he moves from group to group, checking on the progress and offering guidance whenever it’s needed. In a Project Lead The Way class, students will be assigned a design challenge and they will then spend their time working in teams to complete the project. The students work together on problem-solving, and they compare notes with other

teams—just as they would in a work environment. Trial and error is an important part of the coursework, and the students keep meticulous engineering notebooks filled with handwritten notes, sketches, and records from each assignment. Dormer said that students have been very receptive to this kind of learning environment. “Students don’t want to be talked at all the time and be bored,” he explained. In a recent Introduction to Engineering class, ninthgraders Allison Highfield and Abbey O’Connor said that the Introduction to Engineering Design course has already broadened their horizons and exceeded their expectations that they had for the class. Highfield said that she likes the fact that the Project Lead The Way classes are focused on math and science. “Those are my stronger subjects,” she said. Highfield and O’Connor like being able to work in collaboration with other students on the projects. Oxford officials say that the Project Lead The Way programming is beneficial for all students, not just those who plan on having careers in science or engineering, because the skills that they learn in collaboration, critical thinking, and communication are highly transferable to other endeavors. Of course, the Project Lead The Way program only works when highly qualified teachers are delivering the curriculum. According to Michael Garrison, the high school’s assistant principal, Haney has dedicated himself to the program, spending weeks during the summer completing special training to teach these advanced classes. Haney said that he feels well-prepared to teach the curriculum. “I’m not an aerospace engineer, but the training that I’ve had certainly makes me confident enough that I can teach aerospace engineering,” he explained. Billings-Jones said that Project Lead The Way curriculum encourages collaboration, and not just between students. The
school district reaches out to the community and brings in engineers to observe classes and to make recPhotos (3) by Steven Hoffman ommendations about how to improve what is being Tenth-graders Thomas Herrin, Dylan Horseman and Michael Mallon work on their project in the Principles of Engineering class at Oxford Area High School. taught in the classroom. In the future, the Oxford students who complete the Introduction to Engineering Design and Principles of Engineering Design courses will be eligible to take courses on aerospace engineering and civil engineering. Billings-Jones noted that if students earn a certain grade on their Project Lead The Way courses, it can translate into college credits before they even leave high school. “It’s really the best education we can give them at this level,” Billings-Jones said.

Video produced by Oxford students wins award
Why is manufacturing cool? A group of Oxford Area High School students explored the topic and won an award for their efforts By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer A team of Oxford Area High School students won an award in the Chester County Intermediate Unit’s “What’s So Cool About Manufacturing?” video contest at an event that was sponsored by the Manufacturing Alliance of Chester and Delaware Counties, on April 6. The Oxford students who worked on the project— ninth-graders Noah Hewes, Jacob Hewes, Sarah Bartlett, Abby Boohar, and Michael Walling—earned the Viewer’s Choice Award for 2016 for their two-anda-half-minute video. The students visited Aerzen USA in Coatesville to explore what is so cool about manufacturing. The company, which was founded in 1983, manufactures positive displacement blowers, turbo blowers, screw compressors, and vacuum pumps. Aerzen USA employs approximately 70 people at its 40,000-square-
foot facility. The purpose of the video was for students to explore how a modern manufacturing facility operates, and the Oxford students interviewed six or seven different employees with Aerzen USA in preparation to make the video. They asked the workers about their jobs and shot footage of the manufacturing facility on a GoPro camera. The students learned that manufacturing has changed considerably over the years, and companies now rely a lot on computers and technology to produce their projects. Noah Hewes explained that they were also trying to show that manufacturing facilities can be very clean
and have operations that are environmentally friendly. The students also wanted to raise awareness that there are a lot of manufacturing jobs available, and they are often good-paying jobs. They compiled more than 20 minutes of footage during the visit to Aerzen USA. Chris Pierdomenico, a television/video teacher at the high school, helped the students edit the video down to the limit of two and a half minutes. “You really had to make sure that you used your best footage,” Noah Hewes said. All five students are in Trevor Haney’s Project Lead The Way class. Haney selected students who would put a lot of effort into the project.

“I had to find a group of students who would show dedication and work hard to make a good video,” Haney explained. “They put in a lot of time on this. They would stay after school to work on this video until 5 or 6 o’clock. It was a fun experience. I think the students enjoyed it.” As proud as the school’s administrators and teachers were of the group, the students were equally excited about winning the award. “We were ecstatic,” Jacob Hewes said.

reflected on a few key moments in her 33-year career on the air at CBS-3 as a news anchor and a show host. But she started at the beginning. “I took my first steps on High Street in Toughkenamon,” she said. Her father ran a successful, family-owned mushroom company. She recalled her father, who died in 1999, as a man with a strong work ethic who was equally invested in his family, and in service to others. “I remember that dad had sold one of his very first crops to a distributor. But the check was in the mail, as they say. It was Sunday morning, and dad was trying really hard to find something to put in the collection basket at mass at St. Patrick’s. That morning, he and my mother put together four quarters. Dad always trusted that if he placed God first, then he and his family would be protected.” Ciarrocchi recalled getting a letter 16 years ago from former Kennett Police Chief Albert McCarthy, who told her that Mr. Ciarrocchi had once answered a call for help from a man burdened with an ill wife, a broken heater and no money to pay bills. After hearing about the family, Ciarrocchi gave enough money to get the heater repaired and the oil tank filled. “I appreciate what your father did,” McCarthy wrote to the family. Later, the man who had been helped came to the police station to repay the debt. But Ciarrocchi had
made the donation anonymously and expected no repayment. “My father said to take the money to St. Patrick’s and help others,” Ciarrocchi said, her voice cracking. “That is a really powerful legacy for me. A powerful moment of inspiration … When my father died, he was blessed with a long list of riches that had nothing to do with money.” Ciarrocchi said she discovered her love of writing in third grade. “I discovered this was something I could do,” she recalled, smiling. In eighth grade, however, she was not accepted to her choice of high schools, Ursuline in Wilmington. She was devastated, but attended Padua Academy instead. Later, when she went to Rosemont College, her roommate – who had attended Ursuline – said the school had no newspaper, so Ciarrocchi would not have been able to foster her gift for writing if she had been accepted there. “Was it divine providence?” Ciarrocchi asked. “Yes. It was whispering in my ear, saying, ‘Listen to me. Trust. Let go.’ “It is hard to let go when we are gripping the steering wheel of our lives as white-knuckle drivers,” she said. “But divine providence exists.” She recalled several young people she met during her career at CBS-3, and counted each one as an inspiration in her life. Quoting Michelangelo, she said, “The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss, but it is too low, and we reach it. I think he
was talking about inspiration when he said that. We don’t allow ourselves to be inspired in the richest sense. We settle for much less, and we call it our lives.” Recalling her experience of seeing Michelangelo’s statue of David, as well as the sculptures leading up to it which are only partially carved, Ciarrocchi said the figures are “locked” in the stone. “I ask you, what locks us in?” she said. “Beneath our beating hearts is a beating soul that has to be sharing who we are, especially with those we love. It’s through moments of inspiration that we can sculpt a lifetime of happiness and peace. The greatest good is the greatest good, no matter what you hear on any TV station during an election season,” Ciarrocchi added, smiling. While she has entered a quieter phase of her life after crowning her career with 16 hours of live coverage during the visit of Pope Francis to Philadelphia last September, she said she’s enjoying the new schedule. “I have loved all this,” she said of her career. “But I also love to share these stories with you, to open a door and perhaps let you see things a different way.” Taking a few questions from the audience at the end of her keynote speech, Ciarrocchi said she is frustrated “by the gridlock that has happened in Washington. For all of the elected officials who are here, I’m sure it frustrates you as well. It irritates me that we have not been able to move forward for the greater good. [Politicians]
got hired to work for all of us, not just to work for their point of view.” She also said that social media cannot replace responsible journalism, and she worries that some people think that what is posted on the internet is always valid. “I still see TV as the primary medium, and social media supporting it,” she said. Pointing out several people in the audience she knew personally, Ciarrocchi said, “As I walk down the street in Kennett, no matter what’s really there, I still see Mr. Virgilio’s store on one corner. I see Newberry’s in the middle of the block. I see Sheldon’s. I see Bove’s – and thank goodness Bove’s is going to survive. I see Reese’s Pharmacy on another corner. So I guess it’s really hard to take southern Chester County out of a Southern Chester County girl.” Photos (2) by John Chambless

Lessons about keeping water clean at Hillendale Elementary By John Chambless Staff Writer On April 22, the fourth graders at Hillendale Elementary School got an Earth Day lesson on taking care of our water resources, along with plenty of chances to pour icky stuff into containers and look for squishy bugs. The Red Streams Blue program, created and led by Constance Nye, came to Hillendale at the invitation of principal Steve Dissinger. The two-hour program, sponsored by the Brandywine Red Clay Alliance, had eight stations with hands-on activities. Groups of fourth-graders got to explore each station, but first, Nye enlisted Dissinger in a demonstration of how much of our bodies are made of water. Holding up a shower curtain higher and lower in front of Dissinger, she asked for estimates, finally ending at 60 percent. “Water is a huge part of
who we are,” Nye said. “Now, how many of you had a drink of water today? How many cooked something with water? Brushed your teeth? Went to the potty?” After the giggling died down, Nye said, “We use water every single day. Today, you’re going to be thinking about water.” As a special guest, Robert G. Struble, Jr., the watershed conservation director at the Red Clay Alliance, explained how many of the streams in the 330-square-mile local watershed were marked on a map in red because they are substandard. “Let’s make those red streams blue,” Struble said. Nye added, “Let’s go become watershed warriors!” as the students split into groups and spent a few minutes at each station. Parent volunteers explained each activity and asked questions as the students eagerly raised their hands
and peered at displays like a dollhouse with a driveway and lawn. Students were asked what happens to the rainwater that runs off a roof or a driveway. One station had insects squirming in cups full of water that the students had to identify. One tray had stream channels representing the local watershed, and the instructor poured liquid into the streams to show how it flowed down from the high points. One table had a tall column of stones and dirt. Students poured dirty water into the top and then saw how the stones and earth filtered out some of the sediments before it became “ground water” at the bottom of the column. Two stations outside had fun, messy activities. At one, students stirred red food coloring, chocolate syrup and other liquids into a jug of water and then poured it down a trough, showing how things like pesticides, fertilizer, soap
and animal waste end up in the water supply. Nearby, students looked at aerial maps of Chester County from 1970 and 2010 to see how construction and development have altered the landscape. Then they got to pour muddy water on a bare board, and on a board covered with artificial turf and leaves, to show how things like grass and plantings hold back water from running downhill. Along with comments of “Cool!” “Gross!” and “That’s disgusting!” were lasting lessons in sediment filtration and the importance of trees. “What can we do?” one instructor asked her group after the simulated pollutants were mixed into a jug of water. “Be careful what you put in the water!” one student enthusiastically answered.

compliments each other, in that both communities are getting something positive for our communities,” Simpson said. “We are, in every sense of the word, going to be a partnership, and when you become a regional police department, you have access to things that you don’t have when you’re a stand-alone department. “It is truly a paradigm shift to the police culture by becoming a merged agency. We will be a mission-driven police organization, with added progressive training to enhance performance.” “That’s what we should take from this,” said King of the presentation. “We’re asking to give us the tools we need to do it, to have the ability to create a department that will allow us to better serve our communities.” The seeds of the concept to form a regional police unit in southern Chester County date back two years ago, when Simpson asked the township to consider merging or partnering with other police units as a way to stabilize the costs of providing police coverage. Initially, the concept of forming a regional police unit in southern Chester County garnered the attention of several townships and municipalities, including West Grove Borough, which joined the negotiation table last. As discussions went on, however, all but two had dropped out of
the picture: New Garden and West Grove Borough. Simpson said that New Garden and West Grove have been discussing the particulars of the merger since last September, which includes the formation of a budget, personnel issues, and terms of agreement, which are currently being reviewed by the solicitors of both communities. A final decision on the formation of the unit is expected to be reached by late spring or early summer. Using an organizational chart of departments and duties, Simpson said that if formed, the regional unit would provide 24-hour coverage, seven days a week, 365 days a year to both the borough and the township; employ 15 full-time officers, eight to ten part-time officers; one administrative assistant and one records clerk. The immediate arrangement would allow the unit to have two locations: New Garden’s temporary barracks on Gap-Newport Pike, and West Grove Borough’s police offices in the borough’s administration building. Over the course of the presentation, Simpson listed a series of advantages of combining the two units. At the top of the list, Simpson said, will be the stabilization of a force that will better meet the demands of the area they serve, within the framework of current funding. A regional unit can provide specialized services, beefed-up
criminal investigations; targeted analytical policies; community and business partnering and outreach; enhanced traffic calming and enforcement; and the sharing of public information. On Dec. 18, 2014, President Obama issued an executive order appointing an 11-member task force to develop a report on 21st century policing, in response to a number of serious incidents between law enforcement and the communities they serve and protect. A large component of the report included the Six Pillars of 21st Century Policing, which are building trust and legitimacy; policy and oversight; technology and social media; community policing and crime reduction; training and education; and officer wellness and safety. If the Southern Chester County Regional Police Department gets the OK to form, Simpson said that the bedrock of its practices will be taken from the six pillars. “We were already moving in this direction before this report came out,” Simpson said. “These demands are not going away. They’re real, and they’re real to the public safety industry. If we’re going to be in this business, we’d better accept that this is the standard that is being pushed our way.” Simpson said that a regional police department will save both the borough and the township money. If formed, the unit would be paid

By partnering, the regional unit will also be able to look for more potential revenue streams, including the opportunity to apply grants from county, state and federal sources. One of those grants includes the Municipal Assistance Program, a matching grant that provides funding to offset the costs of new vehicles, body-worn cameras, protective vests, contract services and traffic enforcement grants, in order to enhance the operation.

There was no councilperson who spoke up for Oxford to cough up some of the cost, which makes cents(sic) because Oxford will get 100 percent of the parking fees and 100 percent of the benefit of having convenient off-street parking. What’s really more important is it seems everyone in Oxford is looking for somebody else to pick up the green rather than the traditional American way of the community pitching in. Oxford is no stranger to grants. It seems like borough manager Betsy Brantner has been successfully writing grants for everything under the sun for over 15 years. Grants may have their place in Oxford’s municipal finance, but they were not designed to finance all of the borough’s capital needs.

Goodnight, Frolic
School budget continues to grow at an unacceptable rate
If you have ever visited the Brandywine River Museum of Art, attended the annual Point to Point at Winterthur, stopped by the studio of Andrew Wyeth in Chadds Ford, spent a lazy Sunday afternoon watching the horses gallop at the Brandywine Polo Club in Toughkenamon – or walked along any of the 62,000 acres of land protected by the Brandywine Conservancy – your path crossed that of George A. “Frolic” Weymouth. To the people of Chester County and beyond, Weymouth was the best friend a lot of us never met. In short, they do not make many of his kind anymore. His sense of humor was nearly as famous as his nickname, which was given to him as a child growing up in Greenville. The moniker stuck, and so too did all of its implications – that life should be lived as a journey of wonder and discovery, liberally splashed with color and humor and fine things. Weymouth’s influence crossed the entire spectrum of life in the northern reaches of Delaware’s Chateau Region and into Chester County, and there is barely a country road from Centreville to West Chester that doesn’t reflect, in some small way, his love of this land. He was a philanthropist, a painter, and a conservationist. He was a connector of people and, as a result, he was a friend to everyone from the bluebloods at the finest soirees to the blue-collared, sitting at the breakfast counter at Hank’s. Without really ever being aware of it, Weymouth carried the torch of part of our identity, as citizens of an area steeped in history, art, culture and conservation. Now that he is gone, you could wonder who now carries that torch forward, but there is no need to worry. It will be carried by the Brandywine River Museum of Art, the Brandywine Conservancy, the Winterthur Museum – institutions he formed, steered and influenced – for generations to come. Frolic saw to it. He saw to all of it, so that life as we know it will remain as is.
Writer points to facts, laws in disputing letter about firearms To the Editor: I read with interest a person’s opinion concerning the Avondale Fire Company’s poor choice for a fund raiser in the Wednesday, April 20th edition of the Chester County Press. The writer was upset that the fire company was raffling off three guns to raise money for the company. Everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion and I don’t intend to debate those points, but rather, provide the existing facts and law. The Facebook page of the fire company clearly states those firearms will be transferred via a FFL (Federal Firearms Licensee) in accord with Federal and PA State law. The Gun Control Act of 1969 (18 U.S.C. Chapter 44) Sec. 922 ‘Unlawful Acts’ defines the laws and penalties associated with firearms. To counter some of the statements made by the author, I will address them in the order in which they were written: 1) Most law abiding gun
owners are fully responsible members of society totally aware of what this right entails and are in compliance with Federal and State laws; 2) The background checks required by Federal and State law ensure those firearms are being transferred to a law abiding citizen without a criminal record. Felons cannot legally obtain firearms; 3) Those firearms are legally registered to the transferee, making them liable and accountable; 4) Selling those firearms in a parking lot is illegal as defined by the existing laws cited above; and 5) Two of the three firearms listed are traditionally used for hunting, the third is a handgun. While I understand the emotional content associated with the writer, I feel the facts and existing laws need be expressed to form an accurate and complete picture. Louis J. Baccino Oxford, Pa.
Letter to the Editor: In 2003-2004, the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District had an enrollment of 3,901 students and the budget was $49.5 million. Over the next ten years, the student enrollment
increased 4.7 percent and educational inflation grew by 24 percent. One would think that the 2013-2014 budget would be $49.5 million X 4.7 percent X 24 percent, or $64.5 million. In fact, the budget was $79.99 million, or 24.4 per-
cent higher than one would expect. If I had current data, I expect the 2016-2017 budget being discussed to be much higher than necessary, and continuing to grow at an unacceptable rate. Past and current school boards and administrations
have done nothing to control the budget growth in the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District. It is time they start with the 20172018 budget. Bruce Yelton Pocopson Township
Pennsylvania’s townships continue to call for an end to unfunded mandates Local government remains the most efficient, effective, and responsive to citizens, and township officials are weary of Harrisburg and Washington passing laws and regulations that undermine their authority and waste taxpayer money. Promoting local control and demanding an end to unfunded mandates were key themes among township officials who gathered in Hershey April 17-20 for the 94th Annual Educational Conference of the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors (PSATS). From the resolutions they passed guiding the association in their legislative priorities to the stickers they wore demanding an end to unfunded mandates, close to 4,000 conference attendees stood united in their belief that the government closest to the people is the most efficient and responsive. “We must not lose sight of the value of the local community decision-making process,” PSATS Executive Director David M. Sanko said. “Townships and their residents oppose too much intervention, over-regulation, excessive requirements, and out-of-control costs that they see in the legislation and regulations coming out of Harrisburg and Washington.” Although townships are grateful for recent increases in state money, including the state’s $2.3 billion transportation funding package (Act 89 of 2013) and the millions of dollars in Marcellus Shale impact fee funding distributed statewide, they remain diligent in protecting these allocations and seeking relief from other state and federal
mandates or additional revenue to pay for them. “Those of us in local government have learned not to let our guard down when it comes to decisions made in Harrisburg and Washington,” Sanko says. “All too often, townships and their residents pay the price for overzealous regulations that townships are required to implement without the accompanying dollars necessary to fund them.” He points to the unintended financial consequences of the state’s Right-to-Know Law and the increasing costs to pay for legal advertising requirements as two examples of laws that cost townships unnecessary expenditures. Although PSATS supports the public’s right to view and obtain copies of public documents, the current Right-to-Know Law places a financial burden on local governments trying to comply with an increasing demand for documents, especially a steady stream of abuse and frivolous requests. Township officials would like to see the law amended to allow them to recover the costs of compliance, such as charging additional fees when filling commercial requests. Likewise, townships would like to see legislation passed that would increase their options for notifying the public of meetings, bid opportunities, proposed ordinances, and budgets. Expanding options beyond general-circulation newspapers to include electronic sources would help townships reach a wider audience and would reduce advertising costs by spurring competition for those dollars. According to a 2006 Penn State study,
local governments could save $23 million a year by simply advertising on websites. In addition to discussing these and other legislative priorities of the association, conference attendees heard from U.S. Congressman Lou Barletta, Gov. Tom Wolf, state Auditor General Eugene DePasquale, Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman, Sen. Eugene Yaw, and other state officials during the three-anda-half-day event. Township officials also attended their choice of close to 100 workshops and elected officers, including: • President — Shirl Barnhart, supervisor of Morgan Township, Greene County • First Vice President — Bill Hawk, supervisor of Lower Paxton Township, Dauphin County • Second Vice President — Brian McGrath, supervisor of Millcreek Township, Erie County • Secretary-Treasurer — Marvin Meteer, supervisor
of Wyalusing Township, Bradford County • Assistant SecretaryTreasurer — “A.J.” Boni, supervisor of Perry Township, Fayette County Attendees also elected two members to the Association’s Executive Committee: • Edward A. Brensinger, supervisor of North Lebanon Township, Lebanon County • David R. Nyman, supervisor of East Rockhill Township, Bucks County The Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors represents Pennsylvania’s 1,454 townships of the second class and is committed to preserving and strengthening township government and securing greater visibility and involvement for townships in the state and federal political arenas. Townships of the second class cover 95 percent of Pennsylvania’s land mass and represent more residents — 5.5 million — than any other type of political subdivision in the commonwealth.

Beyond transparency, we need accountability By Lee H. Hamilton Over more than three decades in Congress, I had the chance to question a lot of federal officials. Most of the time I wasn’t after anything dramatic — I just wanted to understand who was responsible for certain decisions. Want to know how often I got a straight answer? Almost never. It was easily one of the most frustrating aspects of trying to ensure robust oversight of
the government. Our representatives’ job, after all, is to help make government work better. And you can’t do that if you don’t know whom to hold accountable for important decisions. I don’t want to be unfair to officials in the executive branch, many of whom are dedicated public servants who work long hours to serve the rest of us. But they have raised to an art form the ability to dodge responsibility. This is a problem.

Accountability is essential to good governance. I’m not just talking about “transparency” — that is, citizens’ ability to know what’s being done in our name. That’s important, but equally important is holding accountable those who made the decision to do it: ensuring that they are accountable to policy-makers, adhere to their obligations, follow the law, and that their actions are appropriate and responsive to the needs of the country. This may be part and parcel of good governing, but it’s elusive. Accountability requires that officials step up and take responsibility for their decisions, and not try to shift that responsibility to others or to some ill-defined group. It requires unambiguous performance standards, clear codes of ethics, timely reporting, and acceptance of responsibility, especially with regard to budget or spending decisions. It’s sustained by procedures that encourage responsible stewardship of public funds and a focus on correcting
inefficiencies and poor performance. And above all, it rests on robust oversight and review of officials’ performance, not only within the executive branch, but also by Congress and the media. So how do we get there? The first step is to make information available to the public, especially when it comes to budgeting. Government performance rests on how it spends the public’s money. Yet making sure that people see and hear what government is doing only promotes transparency. It’s taking the next step, and ensuring that there’s a clear command and control structure, that promotes accountability. Without clarity on who’s in charge of what and who’s responsible for which decisions, it becomes too easy for officials to remain unanswerable for their actions. Clear lines of authority mean nothing unless the deciding officials are identified and measured against what actually takes place. No official, in other words, should be with-
out accountability for his or her decisions, which means that executive agencies and Congress alike need to perform regular and robust oversight. Regular audits focused on inefficiencies, waste, and poor performance are critical. Officials need to give a full account of what they do and the decisions they make. As a nation, we face a growing issue on this front when it comes to federal contractors — that is, the private workforce doing jobs for federal agencies. The government itself doesn’t know how many contract employees it has, but the Washington Post reported last year that federal spending on contracts grew 87 percent — or about 5 percent a year — between 2000 and 2012. This is a problem because it creates an accountability vacuum. There are very few mechanisms for holding contractors responsible for their errors, abuses and missteps. Which is why I noted above that the media is as important as Congress and internal
government overseers. We as citizens depend on the media to tell us what’s going on in the entire system: within the bureaucracy, in the behavior of contractors, and among legislators who ought to be overseeing both but often don’t. This is a key public responsibility, and the press needs to be staffed and have access to the resources to do a good job — which, these days, is increasingly rare. Accountability, in other words, is key to good government. All I wanted to know in those congressional hearings was who made the decision about the public’s business. Is that too much to ask?

The People of
the Kennett Run
J.J. Simon The 27th annual Kennett Run will be held on May 14 in Kennett Square, and the Chester County Press will be on hand with complete coverage of the annual event. In the weeks leading up to the race, we will be focusing on a few of the many people whose dedication to the Kennett Square community has helped make the Kennett Run more than just a race. This week, we sit down with J.J. Simon, the new race director for the Kennett Run. Chester County Press: One of the misconceptions about the Kennett Run is that the Party in the Park – held at Anson B. Nixon Park at the conclusion of the competition – is only open to competitors, their families, and sponsors. That’s not really the case, is it? Simon: I would like to encourage the runners to bring their families and friends out to the park for some fun, food and entertainment, but I would also encourage the community to come out as well. This year, Two Stones Pub will be providing beer. Music will be performed by Shady Groove. The members of a lot of our service fraternities will
be serving pizza and bagels. Bananas, apples and oranges are being donated from the Giant supermarket. Sweet Christine’s will provide gluten-free baked goods. A variety of snacks will be coming from Herr’s Foods. The Flying Club at the New Garden Flying Field will be giving kids a flight simulator, to give them a sense of what it’s like to be in a cockpit. Terry’s Critters will be there, as well. So by having more of the community at the Party in the Park... Because it’s a charity event, the more people who are involved, the more competitors we may be able to generate for future events, and subsequently, more potential funding for the many services and organizations Kennett Run Charities supports. This year, Kennett Run Charities will be sponsoring Shady Groove’s performance. Eventually, we want to find a group or organization to pay for the musical entertainment in the Party in the Park, as a way to lower the costs of Kennett Run Charities, to allow us to increase the money we can disperse to the community. The Party in the Park is a big “Thank You” to the entire Kennett

Square community, especially for the many volunteers who make the Kenett Run the success it has become. Is it too late for those who wish to help in this year’s event to sign up? No, not at all. We’d love to have them. They can contact us by visiting our website (www.kennettrun.com). The schools are already participating. We need volunteers for the day before the event, to help set up the Party in the Park. We need them for water tables, to help with timing throughout the course. Right now, we
still need about 30 or 40, and every one who volunteers gets a T-shirt. Anyone who has ever competed in the Kennett Run has received a tremendous amount of support along the course. Every year, it’s lined with people from Kennett Square neighborhoods, who come out and cheer them on. What are some of the hottest spots along the course to watch the races? At the bottom of the Kennett Square Country Club, around Walnut Street, is a great spot, because that’s where the
5K and 10K come toward their last mile before the finish. In the park itself, there is a long strip where they can watch the runners do their final sprint. The Kennett Run would not be possible without the work of its volunteers. Every year, they do so many tasks and don’t get enough credit for the work they do. Loretta Perna from Kennett High School is a powerhouse, helping so many children get to college. She has translated the Kennett Run registration form
from English to Spanish, because she discovered that the children who want to compete in the race, would take the forms home, but their parents often could not understand what the form is saying. We’ve re-formatted the registration form to Spanish and sent it to several schools who have a high Spanish-speaking population. In the next year, we will increase the awareness of our Spanish community of the Kennett Run by translating more information to Spanish. – Richard L. Gaw

Brandywine Conservancy founder George ‘Frolic’ Weymouth dies On Sunday night, the Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art announced the death of its founder and chairman. A statement read: George A. “Frolic” Weymouth was a visionary conservationist, philanthropist, a highlytalented artist and accomplished sportsman. In 1967, Weymouth, along with Bill Pricket and Francis I. DuPont, purchased two parcels of land in Chadds Ford totaling 47 acres that were threatened with industrial development, thereby founding the organization that became the Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art. Four years later, Weymouth was instrumental in acquiring Hofmann’s Mill, a 19-century structure perched on the banks of the Brandywine River. Weymouth galvanized support from all facets of the community, and his leadership and passion were instrumental in the Brandywine’s remarkable growth. The Brandywine Conservancy is now one of the leading land trusts in the country, with 62,000 acres of land permanently protected in Pennsylvania and Delaware; the Brandywine River Museum of Art currently has a collection of 4,000 works of art and has brought international attention to the region’s artistic legacy. Betsy Wyeth, wife of Andrew Wyeth and a good friend of Frolic’s,
encouraged him to purchase and convert the mill into a museum, promising him art to hang on the walls. After extensive renovation, including the addition of a soaring lobby with three floors of floor-to-ceiling windows, the Brandywine River Museum of Art opened in 1971. Born in 1936 in Wilmington to George and Dulcinea (neé du Pont) Weymouth, Frolic Weymouth grew up in Greenville, Del., and spent the greater part of his life living in the Brandywine Valley. The nickname “Frolic,” given to him in childhood, perfectly embodied the joy with which he lived his life and his irrepressible sense of humor. Encouraged by his artistic mother, Weymouth began painting as a child and continued at St. Mark’s School (class of ’54) and Yale University (class of ’58). As a teenager, he was introduced to Andrew Wyeth, who became an artistic mentor and lifelong friend. It was Wyeth and his brother-in-law, Peter Hurd, who would later suggest Weymouth experiment with tempera, and he went on to master the painstaking technique with Wyeth’s encouragement in the early 1950s. Over a six-decade career as an artist Weymouth exhibited the landscapes, flower studies and portraits
George ‘Frolic’ Weymouth
for which he is known – including friends and family as well as international notables such as Luciano Pavarotti and His Royal Highness Prince Philip – in numerous exhibitions including those at the Brandywine River Museum of Art. His paintings are in major private and museum collections such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Artist Jamie Wyeth remembers Weymouth as an enduring presence in his life. “Frolic was a neighbor and family … he and my father were dear friends. He was an immensely talented artist and achieved so much with his work in Chadds Ford, both with land conservation and with the museum. He was truly a force of nature that instilled his passion for art and the environment into all of his many friends, and they opened their hearts and their wallets to his causes. He was the best fundraiser I ever met.” For more than 40 years,
Consider your to-do list... done!
Frolic was a well-known figure in coaching circles and he exhibited his four matched bay standard-bred horses and antique carriages annually in the country’s leading shows. One of only two Americans to be a member of The Coaching Club (England), he was the president of the Fourin-Hand Club. Weymouth coached regularly at the Devon Horse Show and permanently retired a trophy. He founded the Vicmead Coaching Club and is past Chairman of the Board of the Brandywine Polo Club. His annual carriaging weekend each May at The Big Bend, his home in Chadds Ford, drew participants from around the country and included a scenic drive to Winterthur, six miles away. This custom became part of the tradition of the Point-toPoint races, initiated in 1979. Weymouth’s passionate interest in architectural preservation is perhaps best expressed by his own home, The Big Bend, a 17th-century
Swedish trading post with an 18th-century addition. The structure had been long uninhabited until he purchased the property, and Weymouth lovingly restored it, adding extensive gardens. Weymouth was an active member of the arts and environmental communities nationally and received numerous awards. He was appointed by President Nixon to the Commission of Fine Arts, on which he served from 1972 to 1977. In 1974 he served on the Visual Arts Panel of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts. He was the recipient of the University of Delaware’s Merit Award for Community Service (1981), the National Arts Club’s Annual Award (1990) and the Cliveden Heritage Award (1999). In 2007, Weymouth was awarded an honorary Doctor of Humane letters from the University of Delaware and the Henry Francis du Pont Award from Winterthur Museum & Country Estate in recognition of his lifelong dedication to preserving the beauty, history and unique heritage of the Brandywine Valley. Weymouth was also awarded a Special Citation from The Garden Club of America (2000) for his environmental vision and exemplary service, and the Lifetime Conservation Leadership Award from the Pennsylvania Land Trust Association (2014). He was also a member of the
Farmer’s Club and the Quill & Grill. George A. Weymouth is survived by his son, McCoy “Mac” duPont Weymouth and his wife, Toni ToomeyWeymouth; their children, Sophie Tyler Brown and Misha Kal Toomey-Brown; his brother, Eugene E. Weymouth, and a sister, Patricia Weymouth Hobbs. He is also survived by Anna Brelsford McCoy, to whom he was married until 1979, and his companion, Carlton Cropper. His family, friends and the trustees and staff of the Brandywine Conversancy & Museum of Art mourn the passing of Frolic Weymouth, celebrate his countless achievements and legacy, and express their appreciation for his dedication, generosity, warmth and inimitable sense of humor, which inspired them and infused every aspect of the organization. A small private funeral service will be held by invitation only. Friends and the public are invited to call at the Brandywine River Museum of Art to pay respects and see a tribute exhibition, beginning on April 29. Cards for the family may be left in the care of the museum. In lieu of flowers, the family request that memorial contributions be made to the Frolic Weymouth Endowment Fund of the Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art.

AUGUST J. DEPIPPO August “Augie” Joseph DePippo, 86, passed away peacefully on April 22, surrounded by his family, at Maris Grove Senior Community. Augie is survived by his wife, Emily, of Maris Grove in Glen Mills; son Joe and his wife Nancy, who reside in Brevard, N.C.; and son Richard and his husband Doug, who reside in Santa Fe, N.M. He was preceded in death by his brother, Robert DePippo; and his parents, Pasquale and Anna. Born in Malvern to Pasquale and Anna DePippo, Augie grew up in Toughkenamon, attended Saint Patrick’s School for eight years, and graduated from Kennett High School in 1947.

Oxford Borough Council discusses holding meetings at a larger venue By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer The Oxford Borough Council meeting on April 18 was one of those times when the room where the meetings are held was obviously too small for its purpose. On this night, mayor Geoff Henry planned to swear in three new part-time officers. Five Oxford police officers turned out to support their new colleagues, but the available seats quickly filled up so they had to stand along a wall behind the table where council members sit. Family and friends turned out to see the new officers get sworn in, but only a few could get seats. The rest had to find a spot to stand in the small room or, worse, out in the narrow hallway. There’s probably room to seat six audience members comfortably in the meeting room. If more than that about a dozen people show up in the audience, it becomes a standingroom-only situation. Council member Paul Matthews raised the issue toward the end of the meeting. He said that the borough needs to look for a more professional meeting space with adequate seats for the public to come to meetings. “There are other spaces in town that are big enough,” agreed council member Randy Grace. During the brief discussion, council members suggested that Borough Manager Betsy Brantner should contact the library, the fire company, the senior center, and the school district to inquire about the costs of renting space for some council meetings. While council members are squeezed a bit during meetings, too, their main concerns were focused on audience members
having enough seats, and whether they were actually discouraging borough residents from attending council meetings simply because there aren’t enough seats and enough space to be comfortable. Borough officials have had discussions in recent months about making some cosmetic improvements to the inside of the town’s historic borough hall— in part to increase the available space in the meeting room, and in part to simply beautify the building’s appearance. Council is now recording its meetings and posting them on the Internet so that residents can view them. In other business at the April 18 meeting, Steve Krug, the principal of Krug Architects, provided an update to Oxford Borough Council about the effort to secure grant funding for the construction of a 300-lot parking garage that the borough is considering as a way to boost economic development. Krug explained that there was a recent meeting to discuss a grant application that the borough has filed with the Chester County Department of Community and Economic Development for a 2016 Chester County Revitalization Program grant. “I think it was a very good meeting,” Krug said. Oxford Borough hired Krug Architects to conduct a comprehensive parking study in the latter part of 2015. The firm has worked with other Pennsylvania municipalities on parking garage projects. Krug Architects is now working in conjunction with Econ Partners, a full-service economic development firm, on the effort to secure funding for the $5.73 million project. Krug explained that the
team will next meet with a representative from U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey’s office to discuss funding opportunities at the federal level. Officials have identified several potential federal grants that they could seek. Applications for funding from state sources will follow that. Borough officials have gathered a lot of letters in support of the parking garage to be submitted along with the grant applications, whenever that it appropriate. Oxford Mainstreet Inc. executive director Donna
Hosler and Kathy Book from State Rep. John Lawrence’s office were singled out for their diligent work on the effort to secure grant funding for the parking garage. The borough could have an idea about how much grant funding it may have from various federal, state, and county sources by late fall. How much grant money the borough receives will likely determine whether borough officials decide to move forward with the plan to build a parking garage. Council member Peggy Ann
Russell said that while the parking garage would be an asset for Oxford, everyone needs to know where the money to pay for the parking garage will come from before a decision is made. Krug previously said that more than half of the funding for the parking garage could come from federal, state, and county sources if the efforts to secure grants are successful. Borough council approved the preliminary plans for a landdevelopment project on South Street, where the owner of a vacant lot is seeking to build
four, 50-foot-by-70-foot storage units on the property. The storage units will be used primarily for equipment for an excavating business. The borough’s planning commission already signed off on the preliminary plans, and recommended that council also accept it. Council approved the preliminary plans, and the final land-development plans will come back to borough council for approval when they are ready.

Grant Talley doesn’t remember a time when he didn’t want to be a pilot. His love of aviation has enabled him to earn a private pilot’s license before he even graduates from high school...
Oxford Area High School senior ready to soar By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer Grant Talley learned how to fly an airplane before he learned how to drive a car. In fact, if it weren’t for his parents, Scott and Melissa Ortega, urging him to get a learner’s permit, he might have delayed learning how to drive even longer. Why drive when you can log precious flight time soaring high in the sky in a Cessna 150? “I was always fascinated with aircrafts,” explained Talley, a senior at Oxford Area High School who will graduate in June. “I always remember wanting to be a pilot.”
His mom agreed. “He was born to be a pilot,” she said. Scott, who considers himself more of a car person, said that Grant has always been more interested in airplanes. At bedtime, his parents would often find Grant playing with airplanes instead of his Matchbox cars, standing on his toes to make the toy airplanes soar as high as he could reach. He would often ask his parents about how real airplanes could remain in the air when his toy planes did not. “He would always be flying airplanes around,” Scott explained. Grant doesn’t remember taking his first plane ride

when he was two. But his mother took pictures of the event, and they are displayed in the family’s home. When Grant was five years old, his family took a trip to Disney World, but Grant remembers that he was more excited about the flight itself than the actual vacation. On the return trip home, the pilot allowed Grant to visit the

When asked about what he remembers from that flight, Grant replied that it was very cold flying at that altitude in the winter. But both his parents say

He told me that if I work hard, I could fly someday, too.” Despite his enthusiasm for airplanes, Grant didn’t actually pursue flying until right around his 17th birthday. His parents drove to Kennett Square on an errand and they passed by the New Garden Flying Field. “I immediately thought that Grant would be
that they’ve never seen their son smile as much as he did after that first flight. Melissa said that she remembers her son describing the flight as amazing. As a pilot, Grant was a natural, quickly learning about how wind, air pressure, and even the temperature can affect the performance of an aircraft. He received training on the importance of preflight inspections, and also studied how to respond to various emergency situations that could occur during a flight.

Grant has always liked airplanes. He’s pictured in the cockpit of a plane when he was 12 years old.
Within just a few months, he was able to do his first solo flight, which took place on May 8, 2015. “Grant progressed quickly to his first solo,” said John Tiplady, a flight instructor with the New Garden Flight Connection. Tiplady said that Grant has been a good student throughout his time at the New Garden Flying Field. “It has been a great pleasure being Grant’s flight instructor this past year,” Tiplady explained. “When I first met Grant, he was a quiet kid, but his love for aviation broke through. Now, he constantly talks about flying. He gets along great with everyone at the airport. I’m so excited to see where the future takes Grant in his aviation career.” Melissa lauded the staff at the New Garden Flying Field for how supportive they are to young pilots. “They make it so easy and so much fun for these kids who are really interested in flight,” she explained. One of Grant’s favorite experiences so far has been flying a World War II-era Fairchild P-19 at the large air show that takes place each year at the New Garden Flying Field. This plane has an open top and a wooden propeller, which offered quite a different flying experience for the young pilot. Scott said that it was really cool to see his son flying that plane. Another memorable experience for Grant came on Aug. 25 of last year when he flew a plane for a three-hour trip that required him to make a landing at three different airports, including airports in Delaware and Maryland. Grant has already logged about 90 hours of flight
time. He keeps a log book where he meticulously charts details about each flight that he takes. He also recently passed a Federal Aviation Administration exam. While Grant hasn’t had any close calls yet, there was one flight where the pilot of another plane failed to announce that he was going to be on an active runway. Grant demonstrated good decision-making and was easily able to avoid the other plane without incident. Melissa admits that she’s still a little nervous whenever her son is taking his flying lessons, but he has spent so much time in the air that flying has become almost— almost--routine for him. He said that he doesn’t really get nervous before flights because he always feels prepared. After graduation, Grant may be heading to the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Arizona for a program that will take three years to complete. He has also applied to JetBlue Airways for entry into their Pilot Gateway Program, a highly competitive program that could set him on a path to achieving his dream of becoming a commercial pilot. Melissa said that she marvels at her son’s ability to work so hard for a goal. In addition to his school work at Oxford Area High School, Grant studies criminal justice and police science at the Technical College High School and has dual enrollment at Delaware County Community College. He is working on earning enough college credits so that he could enter Embry-Riddle Continued on Page 3B

Aeronautical University as a sophomore if he attends that school. He also started working a part-time job to help contribute to the expense of flying and attending college early. “I’m amazed that he has been able to do all this,” Melissa explained. “We’re very proud of him.” That pride extends to his grandparents as well. “Grant’s passion for aviation began when he was a little boy, and it kept growing as he got older,” said his grandfather, Rick Braun. “We are very proud of his accomplishments and his determination to have a career in aviation,” added his grandmother, Nancy Braun. His grandparents, Tony and Nancy Ortega, said that they are looking forward to Grant achieving his goals. “He continues to amaze us every day, and we are very proud of him,” Tony Ortega said. “We think he will have

a good future as a pilot,” Nancy Ortega added. Melissa said that Mary Humphreys, a guidance counselor at Oxford Area High School, has been very encouraging of her son. She also said that other youngsters who have a fascination with flying should be willing to pursue their dreams because there are people who will help them along the way. “If there are any kids out there who want to do this, they should contact the local airport,” Melissa said. If there’s one drawback to being able to fly a plane at such a young age, it’s that it makes typical teenage pursuits—like driving a car—seem, well, a little boring. Grant now holds a driver’s license, but he’s looking forward to spending more time soaring in the sky. “Flying,” Grant said, “is just more fun.” To contact Staff Writer Steven Hoffman, email editor@chestercounty. com.
