The New Garden Township Board of Supervisors issued a statement at their Aug. 10 meeting that supported a request by The Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust – commonly referred to as PREIT – that effectively lifts the age restriction of the planned 55-and-over residential component of PREIT’s planned White Clay Point project. The board action was in response to a request made by PREIT representative Chris Mrosinksi at its July 20 meeting, asking the board to erase the age restriction, which had originally been written in the settlement agreement the township finalized with PREIT in 2007. Mrosinski told the supervisors that if the township lifts the age restriction on future development, it would facilitate a quicker discussion with four real
estate developers who have expressed interest to PREIT about developing the property. Mrosinski said that three of the four developers told him that unless the township lifts the age restriction ban, they would not be “the right people to talk to right now.” Lifting the age restriction, he said, would free PREIT up to a broader base of potential developers, who would be able to market the residences to a larger audience. The board’s decision, which was reached during an executive session held on July 29, agrees with PREIT’s request. Reading from a prepared statement, Township Manager Tony Scheivert said that the board reached its decision after weighing two options that the board had in lifting the age restriction of the proposed residences: either to amend the zoning ordinance to permit non age-restricted development; or to amend the settlement agreement, subject
to court approval. “The board has indicated its support of removing the age restriction based upon PREIT’s request, by a courtapproved amendment to the settlement agreement,” the statement read. “Prior to making any decision or taking any vote, the board has asked PREIT for assurances that with the restriction lifted, there would be compliance with all of the terms of the settlement agreement including road and sewer improvements, and agreement on changes to the plans that must be made if the community is no longer age-restricted. In addition, the board agreed that it would not make a final motion until it hears from PREIT representatives. To date, PREIT has not responded to the board’s decision." Still in the negotiation and planning phase, White Clay Point is projected to be a 187acre mixed-use project in the Continued on Page 5A

By John Chambless Staff Writer The Unionville-Chadds Ford School Board began gearing up for the rapidly approaching school year on Aug. 10 at a work session. Rick Hostetler, the supervisor of building and grounds, updated the board on a very busy summer that has made big changes to the district’s school buildings. “At Hillendale Elementary School, we’ve completed carpeting in one-third of the building,” Hostetler said, “with the intention to do more next year and the year after that.

We’ve repaved about 80 percent of the parking lot, and replaced all the parking lot light fixtures with LED fixtures. We’ve recoated the gym floors throughout the district, and at Pocopson Elementary, we’ve refinished and repainted, like we did at Unionville Elementary last summer. “At Pocopson and Unionville Elementary, carpeting has been replaced in five classrooms, and with PTO help, we’ve finished a rock-climbing wall at Unionville
Elementary,” Hostetler added. At Patton Middle School, two health rooms, a trainer’s room, the band and music rooms and a strings room are scheduled to be completed before the beginning of school. “They are a little behind,” Hostetler admitted, “but I have every reason to believe they will be ready for the start of school.” The big news wasn’t as happy. “We did have a leak at the high school, during which a couple of toilets ran for an entire weekend,” Hostetler said. “As a result, water splashed out of the bowls over a long weekend, flooding the third floor, which

Lamborn Hunt residents continue criticism of delays
Board gives builder 30 days to finish work in development, reluctantly By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer At its Aug. 5 meeting, the London Grove Board of Supervisors agreed – albeit with severe reservations – to allow Willow Creek, LLC, the contractor for the second phase of construction at the Lamborn Hunt development in West Grove, to finish what remains on a long overdue list of projects in the development. Speaking on behalf of Keystone Builders, the primary developer of Lamborn Hunt, attorney Gregg Adelman responded to the township’s April 22 notice, which claimed that Keystone had defaulted on their promise to finish the work, consistent with the Lamborn Hunt-Plan B Subdivision and Land Development Improvement Agreement. In subsequent board meetings, the supervisors have threatened to pull the security bond it established with Keystone, and hire contractors on its own in order to complete these long-delayed projects. Making reference to an Aug. 5 letter to Township Manager Steve Brown that detailed the work that has been completed recently, Adelman encouraged the supervisors not to pull the security bond. In the letter, Adelman said that additional inlets and doghouse inlets have been installed along Conrey Trail and Lamborn Ridge Drive; work has been completed on the installation of topsoil along roadsides throughout the development; and that dead trees in front of homes will be replaced during the fall growing season. In addition, the letter said that 39 items on the to-do punch list at Lamborn Hunt have have either been completed or are underway. “Keystone has been on site and they have been doing on a majority of these items, many of which have been resolved,” he said. “Work is Continued on Page 3A

Red Rose Inn now ready for restoration and addition By Nancy Johnson Correspondent Anyone who drives by the Baltimore Pike and Jennersville Road (Route 796) intersection will attest that the Red Rose Inn site looks better than it did just a few short weeks ago. “The entire tear-down is finished and next week they will start cleaning the bricks,” explained Curtis Mason, the chairman of the Penn Township Board of Supervisors, at the Aug. 5 meeting. “It looks a thousand times better,” Mason
said, “and you’re going to be so impressed when it is all done.” Mason expressed sincere praise for a local company, G.& A. Clanton, Inc., which did the demolition work. “They cleaned up the site every day,” Mason said. “It looks beautiful. Plus, they re-purposed nearly everything.” Block and unusable brick were ground up to make concrete, steel will be reused elsewhere, and even wood will be used to make pellets for wood stoves. Mason explained that lifts will
be employed and a high-power “soda gun” will be used to clean each original brick with a component that is similar to baking soda. “Soda blasting does a great job cleaning everything off the bricks, but is all-natural and won’t hurt the bricks or the environment,” Mason explained. After the bricks are cleaned, they will undergo a process where each individual brick is re-seamed. The next step after that will be a new roof – either cedar shake or metal – and replacing the windows. Special windows will be used that
Mason said, look almost identical to the originals. “They even have the bubbles,” he said. While the demolition work went quickly, Mason told the audience that he expects the restoration and addition process to take three to four years. The plan is to construct a 6,000-square-foot addition straight back from the original structure to serve as a large community center. The original building will house various artifacts that tell the history of Penn Township.

Tex Bumsteer liked his steak with mushrooms, so the billionaire oil tycoon from Texas decided that he wanted to start a new semi-pro football team in Kennett Square, the Mushroom Capital of the World. But not everyone was in favor of Bumsteer’s plan to build a massive state-of-the-art football stadium on the beautiful King Ranch property. Bumsteer, it turned out, had opponents aplenty—including his wife,
his mistress, his sister, a disgruntled ex-football player who wanted to coach the Kennett Shiitakes, and the town council member who helped push the stadium project through the planning process. At approximately 6:45 p.m. on Aug. 7, Bumsteer’s dead body was discovered near the Genesis walkway. Chief Detective Joe Tuesday immediately enlisted the help of hundreds of amateur sleuths to interview the long list of suspects in The Mystery of the Kennett Shiitakes, and the Kennett Amateur Theatrical Society’s annual Murder
who was holding court outside the Kennett General Store, brashly touted his accomplishments as a former football player. He wanted Continued on Page 5A

By Uncle Irvin In the 1970s, when Uncle Irvin published the Chester County Press, we were invited to bid on the composition and printing of the Lincolnian, the monthly student newspaper at The Lincoln University. I handled the matter personally and, along with the facility adviser, I made every attempt to make the project as reallife as possible. The kids set type, wrote headlines, edited copy and produced eight-page tab newspapers ready for the press. The Lincoln kids had full access to our production facility and equipment. Everyone seemed happy about the project, and the school renewed our contract every year. One year, the school changed the Lincolnian adviser to a tenured English professor, Dr. Kaubab Siddique, a Pakistanborn, Muslim fanatic.

Red Rose Inn... Continued from Page 1A

The original Red Rose Inn building and its grounds are now immaculate and ready for the next step in the restoration and addition process.
Naturally, the discussion of the Red Rose Inn led into a conversation about proposed work on the Baltimore Pike/Jennersville Road intersection. Township engineer Kevin Matson said the road realignment project is estimated at $1.6 million adding, “We have a good faith commitment for a lot of it from PennDOT.” In addition, they have applied for a grant that would cover an additional $800,000. “That should leave less than $200,000 out of pocket [for the township],” Matson added. “If we have to put out $200,000 for that intersection, it will be the best money we ever spent,” Mason insisted. The supervisors also discussed the Ovations community’s application for dedication. The community has been in various stages of construction for about 10 years. A number of members of the community were present at the meeting. Matson explained that several months ago he had compiled a “laundry list” of items to be completed for dedication. “They were not successful in completing the items, and the application was denied,” he said. Carol Beehler, president of the Home Owners Association at Ovations, expressed the frustration of the residents. “We feel like we are fighting a battle. Every time we get a letter [from the township engineer] there are more items on it.”
100%
Matson said that much of the problem stems from the fact that the infrastructure in the community is aging, so when a new issue, such as some reported sinkholes, arises, they must be addressed before dedication is approved. Regarding issues holding up the dedication process, Mason said, “When [the roads] get turned over to us, they have to be perfect.” “Everybody would like to see it resolved,” said Matson. “But if the conditions aren’t met, my hands are tied.” One of the biggest stumbling blocks appears to be just that – blocks. More specifically, Belgian block curbs, which are present throughout the community. Mason expressed his concern that if the township takes over the roads in Ovations, plows could easily damage these curbs and it would be difficult to match and costly to repair them. Several people had recollections of a verbal agreement between Penn Township and Ovations regarding responsibility for the curbs at dedication, but it had never been formally proposed. “I think it is important that we get our lawyers together to draw up an agreement about the Belgian block,” Mason said. Penn’s public relations manager, Karen Versuk, immediately emailed the two parties in hopes of getting them together as soon as possible to move the dedication process forward.
If you’re familiar with Andrew Wyeth’s works and inspirations, “Things Beyond Resemblance: James Welling Photographs” is a fascinating excursion into Wyeth’s world. The exhibit, which opened on Aug. 8 at the Brandywine River Museum of Art, features photographs of places seen in Wyeth’s works, or related somehow to the artist’s themes. With the public access to Wyeth’s studio and the Kuerner Farm where he painted many of his best-known works, Welling has taken evocative images of the frozen skin of ice on the water trough in the Kuerner barn (“Black Ice”), the place setting on the kitchen table at Kuerner’s which dimly reflects the scene through the window behind it (“Groundhog Day”), the decay of the painted surface of Wyeth’s studio (“Studio Wall”), and the looming Olson house in Maine (“Olson House in Snow”). There are photos taken inside the cuploa atop the Painter’s Folly mansion in Chadds Ford, the former home of illustrator Howard Pyle -- one a

white-on-white view, and one cloaked in sinister shadows. Welling has also done some sleuthing to uncover things you’ve seen in paintings but perhaps never in real life. There’s “Fleece,” a photo of Wyeth’s paint-speckled coat, and “The Carry,” which is the scene captured by Wyeth in his famous view of rocks and water. In his gallery notes, Welling says he tracked down the location by using Google Earth. There’s a photo of the stone ruins of Mother Archie’s Church in Chadds Ford, the jagged, skeletal tree seen in Wyeth’s “Night Mare” (1973), and the spectacular sycamore depicted in Wyeth’s “Pennsylvania Landscape” (1941). In Maine, Welling explores the Olson home, getting a photo of it from the perspective seen in “Christina’s World,” only in the photo, there’s a barn out back. Welling’s impeccable eye for color is seen in “Alvaro and Christina” and “Basket and Workbench.” His photo composite “River Cove” (2010) perfectly captures Wyeth’s air of somber, silent mystery. In addition to approximating the “Christina’s World” view, Welling sets up “Evening at Kuerner’s” as closely as possible, but it’s clear that time has altered the scene just as much as Wyeth himself manipulated elements in his works. It’s in Welling’s images of things tangentially connected to Wyeth’s works -- even the moldy interior of a minivan parked on the former Messersmith property in Chadds Ford -- that show how deeply he has thought about Wyeth’s themes. There are chairs and a table full of art books in the gallery to invite visitors to sit and learn more about Wyeth and Welling, and the gallery has the whitewashed gleam of one of Wyeth’s interiors. For the first time, the
Brandywine has taken an exhibit outdoors as well. Scattered around the museum grounds, the N.C. Wyeth house and studio, Andrew Wyeth’s studio and the Kuerner farm are “Gradients,” which are panels that encapsulate the colors seen in the landscape or in a particular scene, perhaps letting us enter the mind of an artist as he contemplates a subject. In the garden in front of the museum, a vertical panel contains the hues of the blossoms and flowers as well as the lush green plants themselves. Across the Brandywine from the museum, there’s a horizontal panel that picks up the dark tones of the tree trunks and muddy stream. The exhibit continues through Nov. 15, so the works -- which reflect the colors Welling found in July
-- will become a reminder of summer when the landscape itself has turned brown. It’s Welling’s eye for the same light, color and meanings that Wyeth loved that makes “Things Beyond Resemblance” so intriguing. Even if you’re a relative newcomer to Wyeth’s works, these strong, contemplative photographs will beckon you to discover more. “Things Beyond Resemblance” continues through Nov. 15 at the Brandywine River Museum of Art (Route 1, Chadds Ford).

being completed as diligently as possible, and we’re here to continue to finish off these items and move to the dedication process,” he said. Township engineer Ron Ragan told the supervisors that he has visited Lamborn Hunt several times recently, and said that the projects are “in the neighborhood of being 95 percent complete,” although he said improvements to five infiltration berms still have not been completed. In response, Adelman said that Keystone recently received approval by the Conservation District to install additional piping in these berms, and that the builder has agreed that it will post financial security in order continue to monitor these berms, as well as take remedial measures in order to increase the infiltration in the berms, which may include adding soils and additional grading. There are a small number of utility boxes not at grade in the development, which Ragan said need to be fixed by either Verizon or PECO. He said that Keystone has removed much of the debris that was found and identified by Lamborn Hunt homeowners in the wooded area adjacent to the development, and that Keystone will also fix street crossings on nature trails in the development. The cost of the remaining punch list is less than $25,000, Ragan estimated. Adelman encouraged the board to stick with Keystone. “In my experience in dedications, I would tell the board that this is not one where you call the financial security,” he said. “[There is] five percent or less left done on a punch list, and the developer on site is still working, and security is still up to where the township is protected. You don’t want to touch it because once you touch it, you own it. The best thing to do is keep the developer in there, keep the security in place, get the work done,

virulent Muslim, did not take long to deteriorate, and it was no surprise that the Lincolnian job was not renewed. Siddique was criticized by Lincoln University faculty and many others for proclaiming his desire to “unite against Zionism” and denying the Holocaust, but I had no personal discussions with him. Of course, Dr. Siddique’s comments were made well before 2001, or any of the Islam vs. U.S. wars. He has kept his job, even though he continues to harangue against “Jewish white supremacist thugs.” The fact is there were – and still are – ample grounds to terminate Siddique’s employment contract on academic grounds, because all humanity acknowledges the Holocaust except Siddique. Siddique has worn out his welcome and should be extradited to his beloved Pakistan and Sharia law. If Lincoln’s President or Board of Trustees still does not have the stomach to fire Siddique, every Congressman and State Representative should cut off Lincoln’s substantial public dollars. (Uncle Irvin’s column is his opinion only, and is not a news story.)
continue to work on inspections, make sure the township engineer signs off on it, and then we get the dedication and we’re done. “As long as you’re here and continually holding the developer’s feet to the fire, it will get done,” Adelman added. “We’ll make sure that it gets done, because the developer wants to get his bond released and his financial security released.” The board then began to reiterate back to Adelman the vehement and seemingly broken-record chorus of doubt, as echoed by Lamborn Hunt residents and township officials for well over a year, that has openly questioned whether this long-delayed punch list of projects will ever be completed. “Mr. Adelman, in response to your earlier comment that we shouldn’t take the bond, I have to say I’m very upset with the way that your client has not performed on getting this punch list completed, and I have doubts in my head that it will get done properly,” said supervisor David Connors. “To see a lack of progress in good growing months really was very disappointing. Your client could have gotten a lot of this work done by now.” “Mr. Connors, we’re almost there,” Adelman said. “Whether it’s the board’s actions or the client kicking into high gear, I think we can get there.” “That’s what we’ve seen multiple times,” Connors responded. “We see periods when we see a week or two of activity, and then nothing.” “It’s been pretty constant and consistent over the last two months, and I’d like to see it continue, and we have one growing season left before the winter to get plantings in, and that’s something that needs to be done, clearly,” Adelman said. “From a linear, logical perspective, the best way to get this done is to keep them on site.” “I would agree with you that taking the bond is probably the worst thing for the township to do, but at least we’d have the absolute certainty that [the remaining punch list of work] is going to get done at some point,” Connors said. Lamborn Hunt residents then promptly followed Connors, and doubt quickly morphed into frustration and disgust. Resident Stacy Starr, who has had four homes built, called Keystone and its contractors “the most dysfunctional group work in a development” he’s ever seen.

“They move dirt around like they’re some little kid, and you see piles and mounds of dirt for months on end,” Starr said. “It’s frustrating to see these mounds and then grass grows on them that’s two feet high.” Resident Eric Rittenhouse said that work has not been done near his property for the past two months, and told the supervisors that during rains, large puddles and a gully run from the front of his home to the rear of his home. “I would ask that the contractors on our site have a little more respect for our properties. My home is not a construction site,” he said. “Last week, a dump truck came and dragged my son’s basketball net from one side of my home to the other side of my home. I contacted Keystone, who said that they were going to contact the contractor. The next day, I confronted the contractor, who said he hadn’t heard from Keystone.” After continued deliberation, largely about the complexities of pulling the bond on the project and completing the work themselves, the board voted to hold off on taking action against Keystone, and rather, give the builder 30 more days to complete the work. After the decision was reached, supervisor Mike Pickel confronted Adelman. “What are we going to see from you guys in the next seven days, 14 days, 21 days and 30 days? Because after tonight, we’re not having this discussion again,” he said. “Will we hear from someone from Keystone?” The supervisors asked that a continual line of communication be established with Keystone during the next 30 days. Connors recommended that the township initiate communication with Rep. John Lawrence and State Sen. Andrew Dinniman in order to propose state laws that help protect residents against developers who do not complete projects on time. “I’m hearing residents making one of the biggest purchases of their lives going into a sale center and purchasing something, and then getting something different, and not having the knowledge that there’s going to be a storm water basin in their back yard or in their front yard,” he said.

township along Gap-Newport Pike that will provide for 84 acres of retail space, 52 acres devoted to a town center and 51 acres dedicated to the construction of 83 single detached units. The residences are planned for the property adjacent to the Hartefeld development and golf course, near Sharp Road. In other township news, Dave Yake of the Save Our Water Committee brought the board up to date on the group’s continued opposition to the initiative by Artesian Water Pennsylvania, Inc.’s to activate the Broad Run Well in the township, for the purpose of extracting up to 288,000 gallons of water a day for distribution to as many as 1,100 homes. Yake said that a public hearing – and possible ruling – on the issue is expected to be on the agenda at the Delaware River Basin Commission’s [DRBC] review board meeting on Sept. 15 and 16. Spelling out the need and supply equation that has served as one of the Commission’s key oppositions in Artesian’s request, Yake again stressed that the amount of water that Artesian has requested far outweighs what’s currently needed to supply the 38 homes in the immediate vicinity of the well, which has led not only the Commission but several other township residents and officials to speculate that the water will be pumped across state lines into New Castle County. “There’s over 2,000 people who have signed petitions to stop Artesian from using this well,” Yake continued. “We’re concerned about over-pumping and over mining of the aquifer. When 80 percent of the water is going to be exported to Delaware, there is very little benefit for New Garden Township, and certainly not a need for Artesian to be supplying water when we have a business structure from the Chester Water Authority. We want to make sure that Artesian is going to abide

by and apply for state and local regulatory ordinance approvals.” Yake told the supervisors that if Artesian is granted permission to activate the well, the Commission wants input into the regulatory process of the well; specifically, to place production limitations with on-going adjustments, if needed; a full and regular disclosure of water distribution records to be supplied by Artesian; and “trigger” points that can enforce these limitations. “We want to have a process that clearly states up front, ‘Run a test and if the test has negative consequences, the triggers trig in.’ Over the year, if different triggers need to be imposed, designed and installed, then they can be done.” The numbers just don’t add up, Yake said. “The conclusion is, there must be another business driver [for Artesian], so what is their endgame?”Yake said. “Instead of talking about this production well, the question becomes, ‘Are they looking to higher future production?’ In the spirit of transparency, what is their plan?” Over the past several months, as the issue of the Broad Run Well has been contended between friend and foe, and at the same time, pushed through the sausage-making grinder of several regulatory agencies, each of whom have rendered both opinion and action. As those with a stake in the well await
the DRBC ruling in September, the question remains: Who is the ultimate arbiter on the final decision, the DRBC, the Public Utilities Commission [PUC] or the Department of Environmental Protection [DEP]? “We don’t know for sure,” Yake said. “Our analysis of the DEP regulations would suggest that the DRBC would have approval, but if they approve it, that does not mean that the well would automatically go into production. The DEP would first have to rule on a permit. The bottom line, there is some uncertainty around who has final decision rights. I would hope that those two organizations would be working closely together, so that the regulatory process is seamless.” The board approved a request for final approval on the land development process for Manfredi Cold Storage on West Baltimore Pike. The board also approved – at an initial cost of $8,000 and a yearly $2,500 contract – to further develop the township’s website, as well as gave approval to the production of new township calendars, that will include important township dates and activities, and provide advertising opportunities for local businesses. The calendars will distributed to every home in the township. To contact Staff Writer Richard L. Gaw, e-mail rgaw@chestercounty.com.
to coach Bumsteer’s new team, but he was denied the opportunity. There were rumors throughout the town that dubious behavior by Marshon was captured on video. But he seemed to have an alibi, telling anyone who would ask that he was with Stella Roid, M.D. at the time of the murder. Stella Roid backed up Marshon’s claim, but could she be trusted? She was suspected of helping athletes, including Marshon, acquire steroids, and she carried a suspicious-looking bottle of pills as she talked to people in Metamorphosis. There was no shortage of people who had reason to not like Bumsteer, starting with his immediate family. His wife, Paraphernalia Bumsteer, knew about her husband’s relationship with a mistress, Holly Wood. His sister, Sherrie Fordum, was upset that Bumsteer was going to stop financing her lavish lifestyle. His brother-in-law would also be hurt if the money was cut off. Another leading suspect was Ty Windsor, who was the Bumsteer’s romantic rival for the affections of Holly Wood. Windsor was at the Longwood Art Gallery, and had a possible murder weapon—a golf club. He shrugged off the suggestion that he would have a motive to kill Bumsteer simply because they were rivals for Holly Wood. “I came in second,” Windsor said simply. Nikki Kixx had a reason not to like Bumsteer, too. She wanted to earn a spot on the football team as a kicker, but the owner told her that only men could make the team. She claimed to be at Bedbugzz at the time of the murder, and the victim’s own daughter, Patty, saw her there. With her own alibi supported, Nikki pointed an accusing finger at Holly Wood. Holly Wood was at the RLD Books. She had a possible weapon, a parasol, in plain sight, but denied

that there was any bad blood between herself and Bumsteer. She simply didn’t want the same kind of relationship that he had wanted. Paige Turner, the town’s leading reporter, was stationed at the Kennett Public Library. She bristled at the suggestion that she might have something to do with the murder, though she did admit that was angry Bumsteer because a job as a public relations director for the team fell through. She also hinted that she hoped to sell a video of Marshon to Bumsteer—a video that would hurt the former player’s chances of becoming the team’s coach. There seemed to be unscrupulous dealings between Bumsteer and the town council. Several people suggested that elected officials were receiving kickbacks. Others were upset that Bumsteer won the bid to develop the large property situated in the beautiful rolling hills of Chester County in the first place. Joy Rider, a top equestrian, wanted the property to remain as open space. Penny Arcade wanted to build a new casino on the property. Jean Claude Van Darne wanted to stop Bumsteer from building the stadium altogether because
he wanted to move the team to Canada. He made the dubious statement that everything is better in Canada. But all the aforementioned suspects had witnesses who could verify that they were not in the Genesis walkway at the time of the crime. Sherrie Fordum, who was stationed at the Polished salon, seemed to have a strong motive to be angry with her brother. Bumsteer was going to stop giving her money. Fordum’s husband, Chad, was always coming up with ideas for new businesses, but they never seemed to work out. The Fordums were dependent on Bumsteer to stay afloat financially. Chad Fordum had an explanation for his whereabouts at the time of his brother-in-law’s untimely death. Sherrie Fordum, however, didn’t have an alibi. The detectives at work on the case focused in on this fact, and Sherrie Fordum was taken into custody just a few hours after the crime was committed, successfully solving The Mystery of the Kennett Shiitakes.

Local News New Garden officer honored for 30 years on the force By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer When John M. Gibson, Patrolman First Class for the New Garden Township Police Department, arrived at the New Garden Township Building last Friday afternoon, he thought it was for a routine police matter. What he received instead was a small avalanche of appreciation. Before law enforcement colleagues, township officials and friends, PFC Gibson was honored by the township for recently celebrating his 30th year in the department, which officially began on July 25, 1985. He received a framed proclamation from the township, which was read by township supervisor Steve Allaband.

then went down through the second and first floors. We have it pretty well cleaned up, but if I had to take a guess about the costs, I’d say we’re looking at $100,000. The insurance company is assessing it right now. What happened was that we had done some plumbing work the previous week, and some steel broke loose inside the plumbing system due to the work, and it lodged in the flush valves. It was kind of a worst-case scenario.” Hostetler said insurance will cover all the costs of repairs after the district pays a $5,000 deductible. “The other unexpected item was that the rooftop heating
The document honored Gibson and highlighted some of his key accomplishments, which included being named the 2013 New Garden Police Officer of the Year, receiving a 2014 Heroism Award from Chester County, as well as receiving special commendation from the Chester County EMS Council in 2015. “Officer Gibson is probably one of the most selfless people I’ve ever had the pleasure to know,” said Officer Joseph Paul Versagli II, who joined the New Garden Police Department in 2011. “He’s pulled people out of burning cars, and performed CPR on so many people. Being one of the newer officers, having been placed with someone so seasoned, so knowledgeable, has
made my career that much easier and made me a better officer.” Serving as a law enforcement officer in New Garden, Gibson wrote in the fall edition of Landenberg Today, “has a little bit of everything -- 17 square miles of business, residential, retirement communities, farms, an airport, heavy traffic areas, and every ind of person you can think of. I have been thanked, hugged, kissed [on the cheek], patted on the back, consoled, transported in an ambulance, yelled at, cussed at and spit on, and every day, you just don’t know what is coming your way. Best of all, we have a great bunch of men and women working here.” “I have three kids to keep me busy, I have a job I love, and I
have, God willing, good health,” Gibson said at the ceremony. “I’ve lived in Kennett Square my whole life. I have family here and I have friends here. I have no plans to do anything else or be anywhere else.” “Thirty years of service in law enforcement is quite an accomplishment in and of itself, but John has been a dedicated, awarded and recognized employee of this township, and we are pleased to be a part of this special day,” said New Garden Police Chief Gerald Simpson. “He’s a great employee, we’re Photo by Richard L. Gaw glad to still have him, and he’s Patrolman First Class John M. Gibson of the New Garden got plenty of years left.” To contact Staff Writer Richard L. Gaw, e-mail rgaw@chestercounty.com.

and air-conditioning unit at Patton Middle School failed at the beginning of the summer,” Hostetler said. “As we were reasearching, we found out there was a unit sitting in Baltimore that could serve as a replacement. The unit is three years old but was purchased by the district there and never installed. It’s brand new, still in the packaging. They offered to sell it to us for $10,000. It was something we had to make a quick decision on, so we went ahead to go with this replacement unit.” Hostetler said the final price tag with installation will be between $15,000 and $17,000. “If we were to repair the existing unit, we’d be looking at a
cost of about $10,000, and it would still be an 18-year-old unit,” he said. “With this one, we get delivery and a crane service to put it on the roof. The risk is very minimal and the gain was advantageous for us. A new unit would have cost us $65,000 to $75,000, and we’re getting this one for $15,000.” The unit is expected to be installed this week. Board member Kathleen Do spoke about a discussion held by the curriculum commitee that addressed the issue of security clearances for volunteers. “I’m happy to report that the law has been revised -- it is now called Act 115,” Do said. “The bottom line for us is anybody who has been volunteering has no
change this year. Any new volunteers will need a Pennsylvania criminal background check and a child-abuse clearance. The Governor has made the decision that there will be no fees for those tests. “What is changing is that next year, is that instead of redoing security clearances every seven years, you will redo them every five years,” Do said. “And the FBI fingerprinting check will be required for any volunteer who has not lived in Pennsylvania for 10 years or more. We’ll keep people informed,” she added, “but the big news is that for the coming school year, there’s no changes. “There was a great deal of upheaval across the state from
groups like the Boy Scouts, and various other organizations, that were worred about losing volunteers,” Do said. “I think things are looking much better and much more doable for us.” Board member Keith Knauss, acknowledging the ongoing teacher contract negotiations, announced, “Last year’s contract has expired, and we are now operating on the terms of the previous contract. That’s typically what happens when both sides can’t agree on a contract.” There was a lengthy discussion of school district goals, which will result in a survey -- probably conducted online -- to, as board member Rober Sage said, “assess improving student experience, investing in our people,
embracing digital opportunities and improving school climate.” Board members discussed how to measure success on some of those points, as well as how to gather the information. “It’s a little bit unsettling because you don’t know what kind of feeback you’re going to get,” said district superintendent John Sanville. “Maybe it exposes blind spots, or things that you dind’t think about before. We might hear some things we like and some things that we have to work on. But you can’t address those things unless you seek them out.” To contact Staff Writer John Chambless, email jchambless@ chestercounty.com.
I had always been an athlete, surfing, kayaking, you name it. Then, I was stricken by shoulder pain, and it seemed like nobody could get me back on track. That is, until I went to Chester County Hospital for shoulder replacement. Thanks to my orthopaedic surgeon, the nursing team and convenient on-site rehab, I moved beyond the pain.

Editorial
A few words about the heroes in our midst On Tuesday, July 28, a fire broke out at the Oxford Terrace Apartments. The residents of the 40 or so units in the building were instantly at risk, as were their pets and their possessions. Union Fire Company No. 1 of Oxford is located directly across the street from the apartments, and Oxford firefighters responded quickly to the scene. They were soon joined by firefighters from several of the neighboring fire companies. With no fanfare, the firefighters made sure that the residents were safely evacuated and brought the blaze under control, limiting the damage that was caused by the accidental blaze. This fire is noteworthy only because it jeopardized so many people. The firefighters who answered the call on this hot summer day were more than equal to the task and brought the fire under control quickly. There was no need for a firefighter to risk his or her own life to rescue an elderly person from the dangerous edges of the flickering flames—though firefighters are sometimes called upon to do just that. There was no reason for the firefighters to scale dangerous heights, to stand on a singed roof that could collapse at any moment—though firefighters are sometimes called upon to do just that. This particular fire on this particular day did not demand extraordinary amounts of heroism, although one firefighter was seen returning a scared but unharmed cat to its appreciative owner. This was almost a routine fire, even though there really is no such thing. A slight shift in the wind can sometimes transform a blaze under control into an uncontrollable monster that will destroy everything and everyone in its path. We certainly don’t want to slight the police and the emergency responders who often serve us heroically during our moments of need, but that’s an editorial for another day. Now, we’d like to focus our words on the work of the firefighters for volunteer companies in Kennett Square and West Grove, Avondale and Oxford who jump out of bed at night to respond to a house fire or are the first to arrive on the scene of an accident with injuries. Just consider some of the situations that firefighters have responded to during recent months: ~ On April 11, firefighters from Union Fire Company No. 1 in Oxford were called to Camp Tweedale because a hiker was injured and unable to move off a steep embankment along the edge of the Octoraro Reservoir. The emergency responders were able to execute a low-angle rescue and extricated the injured hiker so that he could be transported to the hospital for treatment. ~ On Easter Sunday, firefighters from Kennett and Avondale responded to a call near the New Garden Airport to stop a growing brush fire from spreading further through the woods. Po-Mar-Lin and Longwood units also helped out as firefighters battled to suppress the blaze. ~ On a summer evening in mid-June, the West Grove Fire Company, along with Medic 94 and an ambulance out of Avondale, responded to a motor vehicle collision on Chesterville Road where a pickup truck struck a utility pole and went off the roadway. A young passenger was trapped inside the vehicle, which was not stabilized. Emergency responders first stabilized the truck and then they were able to quickly free the child who was trapped inside. During many of the fire calls, volunteer firefighters from surrounding communities like Cochranville, Rising Sun, Quarryville, and several from Delaware are called upon to assist our firefighters, just as firefighters from southern Chester County assist their neighbors when they are called upon to do so. Whether it’s stopping the spread of a fire through an apartment building, responding to the report of an injured person in need of rescue, or arriving first on the scene of an automobile accident, these brave volunteers sacrifice their own time, and frequently risk their own safety, for others. We would like to extend a thank you to all the local volunteer firefighters who are always—always—there when the residents of southern Chester County need them the most.

Letter to the Editor
Property tax plan unlikely to benefit taxpayers, students Letter to the Editor: I attended State Sen. Andy Dinniman’s town hall meeting held on July 29 at the Avon Grove Intermediate School. The “Property Tax Plans on the Table” handout that Sen. Dinniman gave us left me thinking the tax increase proposed by Gov. Wolf was a foregone conclusion. The state budget is in real trouble. The Republicans put forward a budget that was unilaterally received and passed
by Republicans and Democrats alike, but Gov. Wolf vetoed this budget. The governor then put forward a budget that no one would vote for. If, as Sen. Dinniman mentioned, we eliminate school property taxes, we would have to raise sales, personal income, and other taxes to make up for the revenues lost. Using what the governor proposes, we could send all our tax revenues to Harrisburg. The increased revenues would require more government to oversee
these windfall tax revenue, and further drain monies collected for school funding. That money would now be placed into the state’s hands. Currently, our school taxes go directly to our schools here in Chester County and require no more administration that what already exists. With the governor’s proposal, it is unlikely that Chester County schools would receive more funding from the state than we currently collect and use under
the current system. It is more likely that school taxes would then have to be reinstated to maintain the standards of excellence we now enjoy for our children. Chester County residents’ tax burden would then be even heavier. It also becomes evident to me that our children’s education could be held hostage because the state budget could not get passed.

Plenty of Sunshine in Kennett Township As the most recently elected Kennett Township Supervisor, and I am responding to a wellwritten article in the Chester County Press on August 4, 2015 about Kennett Township and Chief McCarthy’s retirement agreement and some residents’ statements and concerns about transparency in Kennett Township. I want to review the publically available information regarding the agreement signed on May 6, 2015 by Chief McCarthy. In the Chester County Press article on May 15, 2015, when asked, Lisa Moore was quoted that the contract was to pay Chief McCarthy unused vacation
time, 6 months’ salary and medical benefits for a year upon his retirement. An individual using a right-to-know request, which was honored by Kennett Township, was sent the agreement. As soon as a possible issue with the agreement was brought to the attention of the Kennett Township Board of Supervisors, a public meeting was held (our 4th public Board of Supervisors meeting of July), lengthy discussion and votes ensued, and the agreement under discussion was made public on the Township’s website that very evening (https://kennett.pa.us/ blog/2015/07/29/chief-mccarthy-retirement-agreement/).
Since Scudder Stevens became chair of the Board of Supervisors of Kennett Township in 2014, we have had more transparency than ever before in Kennett Township. We now have the Township Checkbook online for all to see (https://kennett. pa.us/check-register/) and have robust and open discussions at public meetings of the Board of Supervisors. We notify the public of Executive Sessions and do our best to be as open as possible with topics we are permitted to discuss. As a reminder, prior to 2014: a supposed township-hired auditor could not be found; township finances were kept from the public under the guise of being
a HIPPA violation; public questions at Board of Supervisor meetings were often met with ridicule, not answered and once, even resulted in having an ex-supervisor escorted from a public meeting by the township police officer. Contrast those actions with the prior administration’s appeal of a right-to-know request to continue to hide the Township finances behind a supposed health privacy concern related to HIPAA, and it is clear that Kennett Township now has much more sunshine than it ever did before. Dr. Richard Leff, Kennett Township Supervisor
Fighting for our veterans By Congressman Joe Pitts I remember my time in the Air Force vividly. When war broke out, I was teaching at a public school. I had always had a strong desire to serve my country, and I saw that there was a real need for volunteers. My family was growing, and public school teachers didn’t make much money in those days, so I recognized that I needed to sacrifice on their behalf. I signed up. After five-and-a-half years serving three tours overseas, and 116 combat missions, I decided that I needed to return to raise my young family. When I returned, my family was very supportive of me, but the public was divided over the Vietnam War. Our returning troops are transitioning from one way of life to one radically different that is at once familiar and unfamiliar. There are over 42,000 veterans living in the Sixteenth District who could tell similar stories. I often think about them, and about my own experiences as a veteran, as Congress debates both how to keep our country safe and how to take care of those who have offered themselves as defenders of our country. And so it fills me with great pride that this week, the House passed four more bills for veterans, underscoring what has
been among our top priorities all year. In total this year, we have passed: • the Hire More Heroes Act, • the Veterans Identification Card Act, • the Clay Hunt SAV Act, • the VA Budget Planning Reform Act, • the Homes for Heroes Act, • the Long-Term Care Veterans Choice Act, • the Homeless Veterans’ Reintegration Programs Reauthorization Act, • the Fallen Heroes Flag Act, • the Ensuring VA Employee Accountability Act, • the Ruth Moore Act, • the Veterans Entrepreneurship Act, • the VA Budget and Choice Improvement Act • the Veterans’ Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act, and • the Veterans Affairs Accountability Act. While I don’t have enough space here to discuss all of these different bills passed by the House, I’d like to tell you about the six we passed this week. First, the Hire More Heroes Act would make it easier for veterans to get jobs by exempting veterans with Tricare, the military’s health care, from the President’s employer mandate, which applies to businesses with over 50 employees. The federal government shouldn’t
punish small businesses who want to hire veterans, but should support our communities, and our heroes who simply want to work. Second, the Ruth Moore Act would make it easier for veterans who have suffered sexual trauma during active duty to get mental health claims processed. All they would need is a diagnosis by a mental health professional to get VA coverage. Ruth Moore, a veteran, had to fight the VA bureaucracy for 23 years before she could receive the benefits she was owed, all while suffering from crippling depression and diseases transmitted by the man who victimized her. This is an outrage, and this bill will keep it from happening again. Third, the Veterans Entrepreneurship Act would secure easier access to investment capital for our veterans by lowering their costs for Small Business Administration programs. Many of our veterans dream of owning their own business, and this bill will make it easier for them to realize those dreams. Fourth, the VA Budget and Choice Improvement Act, would consolidate all of the non-VA health programs into a single Veterans Choice Program. This bill will ensure that veterans are free from bureaucratic backlogs, and have access to the quality
health care they need. Fifth, the Veterans’ Compensation Cost-ofLiving Adjustment Act would increase compensation for veterans with service-connected disabilities, and their dependents. Sixth, the VA Accountability Act would address the ongoing VA scandal that first came to light one year ago. In over a year since we found out about it, only two executives have been fired for the scandal in our VA system. Another two employees at the Phoenix VA have been on paid leave for over a year, receiving a quarter of a million taxpayer dollars for doing nothing. Meanwhile, the waiting lists have only got longer. Thousands more have died. It takes, on average, between six months and a year to fire a federal employee. The VA Accountability Act would give the VA Secretary, appointed by the President, more authority to fire any VA employee for misconduct. The House passed this legislation last year, but, as with so many good ideas, it went nowhere in Harry Reid’s Senate. This bill will be a major step on the way to fixing our VA system. It is our solemn duty as Members of Congress to care for our veterans. As a veteran, I am proud that we are fulfilling that solemn obligation.

Local News After acquisition, General Rental looks to expand business in region By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer In mid-April, General Rental completed the acquisition of Event Central, a company based in Mechanicsburg, Pa. that has long been a leader in the party rental business throughout central Pennsylvania. “I’ve been looking to expand for a few years,” said Eric Schuibbeo, the president of General Rental, explaining that it was better at this point to purchase a business that was already well-established with a customer base rather than starting from scratch in a new area. Schuibbeo has owned General Rental, which is located on East Baltimore Pike in Avondale, since 2004. With the new acquisition, Schuibbeo looks for the party and event rental side of the business to dramatically increase in the area, without sacrificing the already prominent equipment rental side of the business. According to Schuibbeo, it took about a year for the Event Central acquisition to be completed. The owner of that company had reached a point where he was retiring and wanted to put the business up for sale. Schuibbeo saw a lot of potential for the business, which already handles commencement exercises for a number of colleges in central Pennsylvania, some events for Hershey Entertainment, RV conventions, an art fest and brew fest, and larger events like the World Conference for Mennonites. “Event Central is right outside
Harrisburg, where there is a lot of people and a lot of industry,” Schuibbeo explained. “A number of major roads run right through Harrisburg.” Event Central is also only about 90 minutes away from the General Rental office, allowing the 51 employees to share resources between the two sites. Schuibbeo, a resident of Kennett Square who graduated from Kennett High School and the University of Delaware, said that he wants to provide partyplanning and event-planning services for larger events throughout Chester County and Delaware now that General Rental has the inventory necessary to do so. “We feel that even though we’ve been in the party business in southern Pennsylvania for years, the area has been underserved when it comes to large events,” he said. Schuibbeo has a background in finance and is an accountant by trade. He’s been involved in the rental business in one way or another for 27 years, starting with a job with a truck rental company in Wilmington. He knows that the most vital component to success in the business is providing superior customer service to his clients. “If there’s an event and we need to be there to set up overnight, we’ll be there to set up overnight,” he explained. “We have two tractor trailers and we can deliver anywhere. We are able to provide high-end customer service. We’re attentive to what our customers’ needs are.” General Rental offers a wide

range of services, including the sale and rental of various types of equipment. General Rental is a Stihl dealership, a full-line Husqvarna dealer, and also offers Honda engines. It rents a variety of equipment, ranging from automotive to carpentry tools, to construction equipment. When it comes to staging an event, General Rental can do everything from setting up tents of various sizes to supplying chairs, tables, and linens. Employees also have the ability to set up the staging, the lighting systems, or the sound systems. The goal is to make the preparations for an event as easy as possible for customers. As a longtime local resident, Schuibbeo knows of several large events in Chester County or Delaware that currently rely on companies from outside the area for party-planning or event-planning services. He also sees some good possibilities for
setting up outdoor events, such as some of the activities that are related to the horsing community. Schuibbeo said that the company utilizes an Avant articulating skid loader that allows for the easy set-up and take-down of tents without doing damage to the ground as they move on and off a property. General Rental will continue to operate out of Avondale. As the company grows its partyplanning and event-planning business, the Event Central name will likely be used for events in Chester County and Delaware. Both companies have built excellent reputations through the years, so there’s a benefit to continuing them. Schuibbeo envisions an expansion not just in Chester County and Delaware area, but in Maryland as well since Baltimore is only about an hour and fifteen minutes away
from southern Chester County and the central Pennsylvania area. “Our goal,” explained Schuibbeo, “is to build this business. It’s about rolling up our
sleeves and getting down to work every day.” To contact Staff Writer Steven Hoffman, email editor@chestercounty.com.
Book-signing for ‘Experiences: Life in a Continuing Care Retirement Community’ More than 40 residents of Kendal at Longwood, who contributed prose and poetry to a new book detailing the advantages of living in a continuing care retirement community will gather to sign copies and celebrate the book’s publication. The book-signing will take place at 7 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 17 in the auditorium of the Kendal at Longwood Community Center, 1109 E. Baltimore Pike in Kennett Square. The book was written as a response to the longevity revolution, which sees geriatric professionals nationwide calling for “aging in place,” and
encouraging the elderly to “stay at home, where you want to be.” But residents of Kendal at Longwood, a continuing care retirement community adjacent to Longwood Gardens, see aging from a much different perspective. More than 40 residents of Kendal at Longwood tell 54 stories that reveal why they moved to a new home when they retired. “They describe the safety, predictability and joy of living with others in a community that guarantees care throughout life,” explained the book’s co-editor, Peggy Brick, a 12-year resident of the community.

Man drowns in Brandywine River BURGLARY IN WEST GROVE Pennsylvania State Police Avondale are investigating a burglary that occurred overnight on July 18 at a home at 243 Schoolhouse Road in West Grove. Police said stolen items included a purse with “a large amount of US currency,” gold jewelry and a diamond. While officers were investigating inside the home, the homeowner said he saw someone run from the basement and down the street. The person was not located by police. The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 610-268-2022. INDECENT ASSAULT On August 2, 2015 at 1:14 p.m., New Garden Township Police responded to a business in the 300 block of Scarlett Road for a report of inappropriate touching. The victim, a six-year-old girl, advised that a male in the store walked by her in the toy aisle on multiple occasions. The victim advised that the suspect touched her buttocks area through her clothing, using the palm portion of his hand. The child immediately reported the incident to her mother who called 911 immediately. Police located the suspect inside the store, who is identified as Jose Avilez-Ortiz, age 47, of West Chester. Subsequent to an interview, AvilezOrtiz claims to having seen the victim inside the store, but stated that if he touched her it was by accident. AvilezOrtiz was arrested and charged with Indecent Assault and Corruption of Minors, and arraigned by Judge Seavey of Magisterial District Court 15-4-04. Avilez-Ortiz was remanded to Chester County Prison in lieu of $50,000.00 cash bail. The investigation is cleared by arrest. DUI Pennsylvania State Police Avondale arrested Zeyad Sherif Zaki, 18, of West Chester, for DUI-drug and drug possession after a traffic stop on July 25
Samuel Garcia Javier, 25, of Coatesville, died after an accidental drowning in the Brandywine River at approximately 5:15 p.m. on Aug. 2. According to police, Javier was swimming in the Brandywine River in the area near the Brandywine River Museum when he went into a deep part of the river. Authorities believe the strong current prevented Javier from returning to the shallow part. Javier reportedly began to wave his arms to signal for help, and two passersby saw him and swam in after him. Javier went under the water and could not be located for about five minutes, according to witnesses. One of the people attempting to help then located Javier near the river
bank, and he was pulled out of the water. A 911 call was placed. Initially, according to police, Javier was breathing and had a pulse, but he then began to stop breathing and his pulse weakened. Rescue crews from the Longwood Fire Company and Concordville Fire Company arrived on the scene, as did State Police from Avondale and Media. The terrain on the Chester County side of the river made it very difficult for emergency responders, so a rescue boat was sent out on the Delaware County side. Javier was retrieved and transported by Longwood EMS to Riddle Memorial Hospital. Efforts to revive Javier in the ambulance and at Riddle Memorial Hospital were unsuccessful.

Chester County launches Platform to Employment County’s program to employ long-term unemployed is the first in PA The Chester County Commissioners and the Chester County Workforce Development Board has announced the start of Platform to Employment (P2E), a program that provides job readiness training, personal support services, finance counseling and paid work experience with the intent to secure jobs for individuals who have experienced long-term unemployment in Chester County. P2E is a prep program, created by Connecticut-based The WorkPlace, to address the need for the long-term unemployed to return to work and the employer need to recruit skilled workers. Chester County’s commitment to this program is the first in Pennsylvania. “Nowhere is this need to bring together employers with longterm unemployed more relevant than in Chester County,” said Chester County Commissioners’ Chair Terence Farrell. “At just four percent, our unemployment rate is one of the lowest in the state, and it is safe to say that employers cannot find good fits for some open positions. Many of our long-term unemployed people have the skills required for those positions, but they need career-related support services to strengthen those skills. Platform to Employment addresses that need.” Chester County’s decision to contract with The Workplace on the P2E program follows research into the success of the initiative in areas across the United States. The formula created by
The Workplace has resulted in nine out of ten participants being hired by employers by the end of the program. Commissioner Kathi Cozzone, who also serves as a member of the Chester County Workforce Development Board, commented: “Like other areas in Pennsylvania and the nation, Chester County has a number of long-term unemployed who aren’t included in the unemployment figures because they’re no longer collecting benefits. And many of them are over the age of 50. Anyone who has been out of work for a long period of time, no matter what the age, faces very tough odds of finding a job again. I’m confident that the P2E model that we’ll be using, alongside our PA CareerLink Chester County and United Way Financial Stability Center partnership, will reduce those odds tremendously.” The launch of the P2E program begins with an appeal to all Chester County residents who have been unemployed for 27 weeks or more, to complete an online application for entry into the program. Details of eligibility, the requirements for acceptance into the P2E program and the application can be found at www.platformtoemployment. com (click on the Chester County button on the home page). Space within the program is limited to 25 people, and all applicants will be subject to a selection process. At the same time that unemployed participants are being recruited, Chester County’s
Workforce Development Board will be reaching out to the County’s employers to show them the P2E model and the benefits of taking part in the program. “Our long-term unemployed represent all demographic groups – skilled tradespeople, workers with credentials and educated leaders. They have years of professional experience in many different industries, and they are our friends and our neighbors,” added Commissioner Michelle Kichline. “P2E works with businesses that have existing, open positions that need to be filled, matching employers with qualified, screened and ready-towork job candidates. This model also connects directly with our goals for VISTA 2025, Chester County’s economic development strategy.” In addition to intensive career readiness workshops, P2E incorporates financial stability counseling and mental health counseling to help address the inevitable stress factors that longterm unemployment status places upon people. Family Service of Chester County and Open Hearth, key participants in the CareerLink – Financial Stability Center partnership, will be providing those counseling services along with services provided by Joseph’s People and the Chester County Economic Development Council. The application process for P2E participants is open now and will continue until Aug. 26. Training will begin in early September.

Local Interest Galer awarded gold medal for its 2014 Chardonnay By Richard L. Gaw Staf Writer It is nearing harvest time at vineyards throughout Chester County, but the Galer Estate Vineyard & Winery in Kennett Square has already reaped the benefits of what they’ve sown. Galer Estate’s first release of its un-oaked 2014 Red Lion Chardonnay was recently awarded a Gold Medal in the 2015 International Women’s Wine Competition that took place in Sonoma County, Calif. The wine was one of the first wines entirely crafted by
Galer’s new winemaker Virginia Mitchell, and is made entirely from five-year-old vines at the upper Red Lion Vineyard located on the Galer property. The wine features aromas of lemon zest, pineapples and bananas, and offers crisp acidity and citrus flavors. Galer officially released the award-winning wine at their winery on Aug. 7. The International Women’s Wine Competition is an annual blinded wine competition judged by women, who consider thousands of entries from around the world. Galer Estate also won

a Silver Medal for their new 2014 Pinot Gris and a Bronze Medal for the 2013 Equivine Chardonnay. “Winning a gold medal for the 2014 Red Lion Chardonnay at the 2015 International Women’s Wine Competition is such a special award,” said Mitchell. “This medal is a team effort, from the vineyard work throughout the years to the 2014 harvest team and the winemaking decisions that followed. “The ideal growing season of 2014 contributed to the complex flavors of the Chardonnay grapes,” she said. “It was kept out of oak and fermented in stainless steel as a stylistic choice to really express the terroir of this Chester County vineyard.” Brad and Lele Galer, cofounders and owners of the vineyard and winery, expressed their admiration for Mitchell. “We look forward to sharing and enjoying all of Virginia’s wines that express her vibrancy and distinctive palate,” they said.
