On Aug. 12, the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission, in partnership with the Penn Township Board of Supervisors and the township’s Historical Commission, unveiled an historic marker honoring Sunset Park, an open-air ampitheater that served as one of the nation’s most prominent country music venues from 1940 to 1995, and drew a who’s who of country and bluegrass music legends.

Defying the general laws of physics and having a great time doing it, the Southern Chester County Regional Police Department celebrated the annual National Night Out by managing to be in two places at once this past week, by holding simultaneous events in Toughkenamon and West Grove on Aug. 7. Held for the first time in Toughkenamon, the
event encompassed the entire parking lot at the rear of the Toughkenamon Town Center, and estimates put the crowd at 300 people. It featured a generous overlap of local businesses, organizations and representatives from area law enforcement and fire companies. Members of the Chester County Regional Emergency Response Team gave tours of their SWAT vehicle display, and the Avondale Fire Company Continued on Page 3A
The borough was exploring the possibility of including a new borough administration building and police station as part of an expansion of the parking garage, but that option doesn’t appear to be viable By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer Thirteen months ago, the Kennett Library announced that it was moving forward on constructing a new library on its own rather than collaborating with Kennett Square Borough on plans for a larger municipal building project that
would have included a new administration building, a new police station, and a new library. That left the borough with no immediate, clear path forward as far as planning for a new administration building and police station. While there isn’t an urgent need to replace either building, Kennett Square
Borough will, at some point, need a new administration building and a police station. The borough is already in the process of planning for a significant expansion of the parking garage. Could an administration building and police station be incorporated into the parking garage project? Continued on Page 2A

MLK CommUnity Board and MLK CommUnity Advocates donate to Chester County Camp Cadet By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer Each year, Chester County Camp Cadet offers children between the ages of 11 and 13 the opportunity to learn about various aspects of law enforcement during a fun and informative overnight summer camp. The camp promotes good relations between police and young people, and has been an effective program since it was established in 1971. Youngsters attend the camp for free, in part because local businesses and community groups have

Kennett Library It’s hard to believe that anything is going to happen with the proposed new Kennett Library facility. Months have passed and there is no news of any sort. There is no mention of a public fundraising campaign, and not even one architectural rendering has been offered to the public. No one supports a new, larger library with ample free parking more than Uncle Irvin, but I am elderly and may never be able to use it!

Local News Feasibility... Continued from Page 1A
Probably not. Earlier this year, the borough enlisted Buchart Horn Architects to conduct a feasibility study regarding plans for a new borough administration building and police station. The results of that study were presented to Kennett Square Borough Council by Scott Loercher, the vice president of architecture for Buchart Horn Architects, at a meet-
ing on Aug. 6. The study indicated that including the administration building and police station as part of the parking garage project would not align well with the borough’s goals and needs. Loercher explained that Buckhart Horn Architects compiled information for the feasibility by interviewing various borough officials, including borough manager Joseph Scalise, police chief Bill Holdsworth, and mayor
Mathew Fetick. There were tours of the current borough hall and interviews with the staff, as well as tours of the current police department and interviews with police officers about operational needs for the department. Based on those interviews, it was determined that the borough would need about 15,000 square feet of total program space for the borough administration and police station, which includes public and
secured spaces that would be necessary. When future growth is factored in, the borough would need about 20,000 square feet of space in order to have buildings that would meet its needs over the next 20 years. Including the police station and borough administration building as part of the parking garage project would be challenging because of a lack of space to meet the borough’s needs. It would also be a challenge, because of those
space limitations, to design a building that would have the necessary public and secure spaces. Buckhart Horn Architects also reviewed some of the borough-owned properties to evaluate if they could be a site for an administration building and police station, but each of those sites had significant disadvantages. The feasibility study also took a look at project costs. The construction hard costs were projected to be $11.2 million for the park-
ing garage fit-out option, which increased to $13.5 million when soft costs were added in. The construction hard costs were projected to be $6.2 million for the option of building a standalone building that combined the police station and administration building. That increased to $7.5 million when soft costs are also factored in. To contact Staff Writer Steven Hoffman, email editor@chestercounty.com.

Jennersville Road at Waltman Lane that reads: SUNSET PARK One of the premier music venues outside of Nashville, the park featured many of the biggest stars of country and bluegrass. Operated by the Waltman family from 1940 to 1994, it supported the transition from preWWII “hillbilly music� to the nationally popular country music genre. Featured artists included Hank Williams, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Randy Travis and Bill Monroe. Live unreleased recordings of major performers have been preserved. The signage is one of 2,600 state historic markers in Pennsylvania. “Recently, I came across a June 2017 Rolling Stone magazine list of the 100 greatest country music artists of all time,� said Scott Steele of the township’s historical commission, who organized the event and served as its master

of ceremonies. “Rolling Stone ranked the top five, starting with number one, Merle Haggard, (followed by) Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn and the Carter family. All five played the stage here at Sunset Park, some multiple times.� Steele said that the dream to build a stage to serve as a platform for the musical genre began in 1939, when “Uncle Roy� Waltman and his son Lawrence hired Amish carpenters to build a performance stage in an
eight-acre grove of trees on the edge of the family’s 98-acre dairy farm. It opened in the spring of 1940, and for the next several decades, came to be known as the nation’s most prominent country music venue outside of Nashville and hosted the likes of Dolly Parton, George Jones, Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette, George Strait and Waylon Jennings. Steele told the audience that having a place to house the growing demand for country and bluegrass music was a welcome sight for the influx of southerners, who migrated north during World War II to work at the GM-Chrysler plant in Delaware and
on farms in southeastern Pennsylvania. “These transplants, who were part of what was called the Appalachian Migration, could find a little bit of home in the small concert venue, a few miles north of the Mason-Dixon Line,� Steele said. What began as a performance refuge for many emerging country music artists who were looking to escape the glare of the Nashville music scene eventually evolved into subsequent generations of musicians, who longed to play at Sunset Park because their idols once did. Two of those artists were Randy Travis, who drew over 6,000 fans to the venue in

Park, which also included their children Anita, Larry and Donald, and later, the fourth generation of the family, who also assisted during concerts. The ceremony was opened by Danny Paisley and the Southern Grass, and also included a country music tribute by Maria Rose and her husband Danny Elswick, who performed “Sunset Park,� an original song written by Rose. During her performance, emotions got the better of Rose, who sang the song’s last lines through tears. The real hero of the ceremony, however, sat in the shade of a John Deere vehicle beneath a tree and watched speaker after speaker pay tribute to him and the musical era he created. Looking at Waltman, Steele said, “Lawrence Waltman is 99 years, eleven months and 25 days old. On Aug. 17, Lawrence will turn 100. What an honor it is to Martin Griggs and his daughters Isabella and Sophia Scott Steele of the Penn Township Historical Commission organized the ceremony have you and your family were among the hundreds who attended Sunset Park and served as its master of ceremonies. here, as we celebrate your Day at Penn Township Park.

was on hand with a fleet of vehicles that were open for tours. The event also featured food trucks, children’s activities and a performance by the band Shot in the Dark. “This is huge for the Village of Toughkenamon,” said Sandy Lutz, regional police administrator and organizer for the Toughkenamon event. “Most of these visitors don’t even know what businesses are in this area, and this gives them a chance to know their neighboring businesses and certainly get an opportunity to get to know the members of their police department.” When New Garden Township Supervisor Steve Allaband first heard that the regional police department was going to expand its national Night Out to Toughkenamon this year, he thought it was a great decision, and an important one. “To my knowledge, Toughkenamon has never held a community event this large, and yet, events like this are all about building our communities,” Allaband said. “When you have this kind of interaction between the local government and your local police, you begin to build a sense of trust. In addition, Toughkenamon is on the verge of revitalization, and I think this could be the start of it. For me, it’s about business. It’s about revenue. It’s about activities for kids. It’s about spreading a sense of positive feelings.” The West Grove National tremendous contributions to the community and honor the Sunset Park legacy to country music.” Other speakers congratulated Waltman on the occasion of his upcoming birthday and his contributions. After introducing Lawrence and his three children, Curtis Mason, chairman of the Penn Township Board of Supervisors, said, “They’re the ones who kept Uncle Roy’s dream alive and going for 55 years. They created and maintained with love a special place in the hearts of so many that reminded them of their home down south. “It seems everybody has a Sunset Park story, and even music greats like Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash came to Penn Township, all of whom were here because of Uncle Roy and Lawrence.” Finishing with the quote, “Preserve your memories/ Keep them well/What you forget you will never retell,” Mason said, “Today is our way of making sure that [Sunset Park] will never be forgotten.” State Sen. Andy Dinniman remembered visiting Sunset Park on the 50th anniversary of the venue, and recalled that the Country Music Association presented Waltman with a gold record for his contributions to country music. Referring to Rose’s song, Dinniman said that Sunset Park now serves as a place of memories. “I think that if we all listen real hard today, we can hear that music, can’t we?” Dinniman said. “We can hear all of those performers. We can hear the joy of the

Officer Brandon Krissinger of the Southern Chester County Regional Police Department joined with Benjamin Brown and Andrew Vattalana of the Chester County Regional Emergency Response Team at National Night Out festivities, held in Toughkenamon on Aug. 7.
Night Out celebration, held in the town’s center square for the second consecutive year, drew between 300 and 400 visitors, despite the threat of rain. It included tours of police vehicles and fire trucks from the West Grove Fire Department, police bicycle demonstrations, a moon bounce, food trucks, display tables from area businesses and a performance by the band Revolution Heroes. “We’re grateful to everyone who is participating in our second National Night Out in West Grove,” said Deputy Chief Michael King. “The turnout in West Grove has been fantastic. We have gotten nothing but cooperation and enthusiasm from our sponsors, community partners, local businesses, and obviously, our neighbors are certainly enjoying themselves.” To contact Staff Writer Richard L.

crowds as they came here. I urge you before you leave this place, to open your ears to what Sunset Park was all about – to the joy it meant to be here. “There was a time here in this county where we could all come together, where ‘Republican’ and ‘Democrat’ didn’t mean one thing or another, or whether we were young or old, or black or white. What mattered was that we all came here together, without alcohol or drugs, and because the Waltman family gave us a venue [where] we could all celebrate the best of what this country, and what this county, was all about.” Dinniman presented a citation to the township, and then left the podium, walked over to Waltman and presented him with a citation that honored him on the occasion of his 100th birthday and his contributions to Sunset
Park. Additional speakers included State Rep. John Lawrence; Ken Woodward, retired Oxford High School principal and president of the Oxford Area Historical Association; Pastor Jim Mundell of the West Grove United Methodist Church; Dr. William Lewis, commissioner of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission; and Victor Mantegna, vice chair of the Penn Township Board of Supervisors. Following the ceremony, the township held “Sunset Park Day” at Penn Township Park, that featured followup performances by Rose and Elswick, and Paisley and his band, as well as carnival rides and games, a moon bounce and food and treats by Hood’s BBQ, Kona Ice and the Plum Pit.

Elections 2018 and beyond With the wind at their backs, Chester County Democrats, fresh off a row office sweep in the 2017 election, look to gain more ground in the November midterms by taking a seat in Congress and pulling off State House upsets of incumbents. The year 2019 brings another municipal election, with all three County Commissioner seats up for grabs. The Democrats could take full control of Chester County government for the first time ever! Discipline in our schools It’s been several months since the “showdown” at the Unionville-Chadds Ford School Board’s public meeting, when some faculty members protested a lack of student discipline. With a new school year fast approaching, the administration of superintendent John Sanville has not publicly addressed this serious problem, nor have any of the other school districts publicly addressed how they intend to punish students who don’t behave. Shame! (This is an occasional column written by Uncle Irvin. As always, the column is the opinion of Uncle Irvin, and is not a news story.)

Oxford Borough’s 14th annual Patriot Day Concert Aug. 20 meeting will continues tradition of grassroots giving include more parking garage discussions The meeting will get an early start at 6 p.m. By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer The proposed multimodal transportation center has dominated Oxford Borough Council meetings for much of the last two years. During the most recent lengthy discussion at a council meeting in July, it was decided that the Aug. 20 meeting would start early, at 6 p.m., to allow for a presentation about the current status of the project. Borough council members will also have the opportunity to make brief presentations if they choose to do so. The regular borough council meeting will begin at 7 p.m. The borough received bids on the project in late June. The lowest eligible bid on the base project totaled about $7.3 million, and the borough could decide not to collect about $404,000 in building permit fees that had been factored into the base bid, so the actual costs of the project would be around $6.9 million. The borough has a total of approximately $4,618,077 in funding already secured through state and county
grants and a one-time gift fund that was established by an anonymous donor who contributed more than $1 million toward the costs of establishing a new borough administration building. The multimodal transportation center project also includes space for that new administration building. Overall, the funding secured for the project amounts to more than 60 percent of the project’s total estimated costs. The borough is still in the process of obtaining additional funding. The bids that the borough received must be approved within 90 days, which gives the borough a deadline of late September to decide whether to accept them or not. However, the borough could extend that deadline by an additional 30 days, which would move the deadline to October. The Aug. 20 presentation is another opportunity for residents to ask questions or share their views about the multimodal transportation center project as the time for a decision draws closer.

Recipients of the Freewill Offering accepted at the 14th annual Patriot Day Remembrance will be the Oxford United Methodist Harvest of Talent and La Comunidad Hispana. Pictured are the staff of La Comunidad Hispana.
A Patriot Day remembrance concert will take place in Oxford on Sunday, Sept. 9 at 3 p.m. The Oxford United Methodist Church will host the remembrance concert, which has taken place each September since 2005. The afternoon concert is organized by The Oxford Trio, and is in keeping with former President George W. Bush’s 2002 Patriot Day proclamation in which he called upon the people of the United States “to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities, including remembrance services and candlelight vigils.” The emotions of the day will run the gamut from solemn remembrance of one of the darkest days in modern American history—Sept. 11, 2001— to joyous celebration of
American music and visual arts provided by the Friendship Quilters. There will be a time to thank and recognize members of the Armed Forces and, of course, a time for the audience to sing along during the concert. Perhaps one of the most important aspects of the afternoon is the reception of a freewill offering. The proceeds of this offering are shared by the Oxford United Methodist Harvest of Talent and one other local service agency. Through the years, beneficiaries have included the Oxford Public Library, Union Fire Co. No. 1, Chester County Meals on Wheels, Divine Sent Food Cupboard, Lighthouse Youth Center, Oxford Police Gift Fund, and the Disabled American Veterans, among others. While the gift to each
agency has not been excessively large, the act of giving the gift promotes the essence of the American spirit and heart: to give what we can to help neighbors in need. Among the most poignant memories of those days following September 11, 2001 are the images of people helping people: Americans giving what they could, no matter how little, to ease the suffering of a fellow American. This year, the offering will be shared between the OUMC Harvest of Talent, and La Comunidad Hispana (LCH), which has been serving Oxford and the neighboring municipalities in Southern Chester County since 1973. LCH believes in the power of integrated health, behavioral and social services to change lives and strengthen the
community. As Southern Chester County’s only federally qualified health center, LCH provides care to all regardless of a person’s ability to pay. For 45 years, LCH has provided culturally responsive services to all members of our community. Learn more about the organization at www. LaComunidadHispana.org. The costs associated with the Patriot Day concert are all donated so that the full amount of the freewill offering can be given to the designated agencies. The community is invited to join in and remember the past, celebrate the present, and contribute to the future of the community and the nation. The Oxford United Methodist Church, located at Market and Addison Streets in Oxford.

strongly supported Chester County Camp Cadet. Last week, the board of the MLK CommUnity of the Greater Kennett Area and the MLK CommUnity Advocates presented a check for $2,000 to Chester County Camp Cadet. The donation enabled four children to attend this year’s camp. During the check presentation at the State Police Barracks in Avondale, Pennsylvania State Police trooper Reggie Easterling said that Chester County Camp Cadet is very
grateful for donations of this kind because it’s the only way that Camp Cadet could be opened up to so many youngsters each year. Easterling said that Camp Cadet accepts about 120 participants. “The whole purpose of Camp Cadet,” Easterling explained, “is to build a relationship between the troopers and the kids.” During the camp, law enforcement professionals serve as camp counselors, while the cadets live in an atmosphere modeled after the State Police Academy, where the emphasis is placed on improving selfdiscipline, confidence, and
teamwork. Easterling explained that there are a number of activities planned throughout the week that provides the youngsters with insights into how law enforcement officers do their jobs. They might have a presentation, for example, on how a bomb squad might respond to an emergency situation. But another part of the camp is simply the fun activities of a traditional summer camp—the camp cadets enjoy things like ziplining and swimming on the camp’s grounds. Karen Scherer, the treasurer of the MLK CommUnity Board, said
that Camp Cadet is a very good cause to support, and the MLK CommUnity Board and the MLK CommUnity Advocates have made donations for Camp Cadet scholarships for a number of years. Cathy Brison, a member of the MLK CommUnity Advocates, explained that the group first became aware of the benefits of Camp Cadets during a community forum in which police officers spoke about a number of initiatives that they have to strengthen relations with the community. “From that, we found out some the things the police
are doing, and Camp Cadet was one of those things,” Brison said. The Martin Luther King, Jr. CommUnity of the Greater Kennett Area was founded in 2001 to help build and promote relationships based on equality, justice, and peace in the Kennett communities. The organization plans the annual breakfast that brings neighbors together to share a meal, fellowship, and the philosophy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In addition to the breakfast, the organization carries out a number of initiatives to imrpove the community, including a day of sharing
and service, food drives, scholarships, book sales, and much more. Supporting Camp Cadet fits in nicely with the organization’s mission. To be eligible to be a cadet, the youngsters must be at least 11 and not yet 14 by the first day of camp. Cadets must also live in, or go to school in Chester County. This year’s Chester County Camp Cadet is taking place at Camp Saginaw from Aug. 12 to Aug. 17. To contact Staff Writer Steven Hoffman, email editor@chestercounty.com.

On National Night Out and every day, local police let the community in In Toughkenamon and West Grove last Tuesday evening, as part of the annual National Night Out celebration, members of the Southern Chester County Regional Police Department played with neighborhood children on police bicycles, as if they were children themselves. For that one evening, volunteer firefighters and EMS professionals from the West Grove and Avondale fire companies looked at their red and yellow vehicles with eyes of wonder and flights of fancy, and for a moment, they remembered that the childhood dreams they had to one day be able to climb in those massive trucks had come true. Across the United States on Aug. 7, the walls and regimen that very often keep our police and firefighters at a distance – real or imagined – fell to the ground. In that act of safe surrender, the efforts of many served to turn Toughkenmon and West Grove into a playground of common ground. Bands played. Local businesses came out of their brick and mortar comfort zones. Kids danced through moon bounces with a lightness of near flight. Police officers took up conversations with those who live in the neighborhoods they serve. The impact of National Night Out is as ingenious as it is contagious, and when the Southern Chester County Regional Police Department began to construct the blocks of its foundation a few years ago, the events that took place last Tuesday evening served as the visual dream of that foundation. The dream is now a day-to-day reality, as well as a duty, and it doesn’t end with National Night Out. Throughout the year, the department has formed a near-constant presence in the community. The department will permit an adult with an interest in law enforcement to perform a ridealong with a police officer. At schools, public meetings and local organizations, it is very common to see a member of the department speaking about public safety, or handing out awards for academic excellence or civilian good deeds. The department is a regular fixture at all community events, and there’s likely few children in Avondale, Landenberg, West Grove or Toughkenamon who haven’t toured inside a department police vehicle or gotten to know an officer by name. If the core values of the Southern Chester County Regional Department – under the direction of Chief Gerald Simpson and Deputy Chief Michael King – are Human Life, Integrity, Justice and Duty, then its dedication to seeking ways to connect with the community is next on that list of values. Its appearance in Toughkenamon and West Grove last Tuesday evening – backed by the same presence of our local fire and EMS units – proves that. It is believed that the most honest way for police, fire and emergency services departments to incorporate themselves within the community they serve is to remove all barriers that subject it to scrutiny and misconception. On Aug. 7, our regional police officers took off their cool glasses, celebrated their humanness and their vulnerabilities, and looked at every man, woman and child who came to celebrate with them as if they were about to sit down for family dinner. And how safe is that?
CORRECTION In a story that appeared in the Aug. 8 issue of the Chester County Press, we reported that a developer is looking to bring a Landhope Farms store to East Marlborough Township as part of a commercial development project on East Baltimore Pike. The name of the convenience store that could be a part of that project is Royal Farms, not Landhope Farms. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

Let lawmakers know that you support clean and renewable energy Letter to the Editor: Recent letters to the editor have discussed clean and renewable energy as a way to mitigate climate change. There are numerous ways climate change will affect us but there is one not many people are talking about. Increasing temperatures have fueled
a health risk we have been suffering from in increasing numbers— Lyme disease. Warmer temperature means better breeding for ticks carrying the disease. Many of us already have family and friends suffering from Lyme. Last summer the ticks were so bad, I gave up hiking in some local
parks like Marsh Creek and Harmony Hill. This summer, a second pest is thriving—mosquitos. We are currently seeing an increase in West Nile Virus from mosquito populations growing rapidly in the heat and wet conditions. Our current conditions are making us sick. Clean
and renewable energy is one way to work toward restoring our environment. This is an achievable goal. Act to support the bills in our state legislature. Write your representative to support HB 2132 and SB 1140. Clare Novak Chester Springs

The Cannon Ball planned for Aug. 24 The event is a 50th Anniversary Celebration for the Chadds Ford Historical Society We want you to get fired up for The Cannon Ball, a 50th anniversary celebration of the Chadds Ford Historical Society, with a night of delicious food, entertainment, and revelry! The Chadds Ford Historical Society will be honoring the founding members of the organization and recognizing the accomplishments of the Society over the years. In 1968, the c. 1725 Chads House was up for
sale. Local residents that were aware of the house’s significance, but concerned about it’s possible demolition, rallied to raise funds to purchase and restore the house. In the process, the Chadds Ford Historical Society was born. The following year, the Society purchased the BarnsBrinton House on Baltimore Pike. Restoration on it was completed by 1978, and the house opened for tours. In 2018, both houses are
still open to the public for educational programs and tours, and remain an integral part of Chadds Ford’s community culture. The Cannon Ball will take place on Friday, Aug. 24 from 7 to 11 p.m. in the historic restaurant, The Gables at Chadds Ford, and will feature chef stations and local libations. DJ Dan J. Breslin will keep the atmosphere charged with music the entire night. To support another
50 years of the CFHS, this celebration also serves to raise operational funds, and will have a specially curated silent auction. It’s going to be a blast. Tickets to The Cannon Ball are $85 for Chadds Ford Historical Society and Chadds Ford Business Association members and $95 for non-members. Tickets can be purchased by visiting the website, www.chaddsfordhistory. org.

Unionville scouts earn Eagle rank
State agencies report increase in West Nile virus In Chester County, there have been 102 positive tests for West Nile in mosquitoes this summer By John Chambless Staff Writer
Kerry Blecher and Lazarus Bradley were honored at a Court of Honor held recently.
Boy Scout Troop 22 in Unionville honored two new Eagle Scouts, Kerry Blecher and Lazarus Bradley, at a Court of Honor held at the Unionville Elementary School. Blecher, the son of Craig Blecher and Angela Bond-Blecher, is a recent graduate of Unionville High School, where he was an active member of the Unionville Speech and Debate Club. He is an avid outdoorsman and will attend the University of Vermont Rubenstein School for the Environment and Natural Resources in the fall. His goal is to be accepted into the school’s joint bachelor’s and law degree program. For his Eagle Project, he designed, built and installed four raised cedar garden boxes for the senior residents of Kendal at Longwood. The project took 246.5 hours to plan
and complete. Lazarus Bradley, son of John P. and Deborah L. Bradley, is also a recent graduate of Unionville High School, where he was the co-captain of the rugby team. He was an honor student and a member of the National Honor Society, and he will study computer science at Villanova University this fall. He enjoys camping, as well as riding and working on his motorcycle and dirt bikes. For his Eagle Scout project, Bradley organized and built a blue bird trail at the Pocopson Park in Pocopson. The project included ten blue bird houses and took 212 hours to complete. Troop 22 has been serving the Unionville community for 94 years. Boys ages 11 to 17 who are interested in joining the troop can find information at www. troop22upa.com.
This summer is shaping up to be one of the worst yet for West Nile virus, which is carried by mosquitoes and has the potential to cause serious illness in humans. As of July 23, monitoring conducted by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has detected 1,109 West Nile-infected mosquito samples and two infected birds from 43 counties. The DEP reports that the risk of human West Nile infection is likely to remain elevated over the next several months. West Nile virus was first detected in North America in 1999 in New York, and in Pennsylvania in 2000. Prior to that, it had only been found in Africa, Eastern Europe and West Asia. Infected mosquitoes pass the virus on to birds, animals and people. In response, the Pennsylvania departments of Health, Environmental Protection and Agriculture have developed a comprehensive surveillance program. The Department of Health is conducting laboratory testing to confirm West Nile virus cases, and monitoring any possible human cases. The DEP is working with representatives from all 67 state counties to develop a mosquito surveillance and control network. Since the virus is
transmitted by mosquitoes, early detection is key. The virus can be fatal to birds, so dead birds are being collected and tested. In Chester County, there have been 102 positive tests for West Nile in mosquitoes this summer. No human cases have been reported. Chester County is identified as “high risk” on the state website devoted to West Nile virus (www.westnile.state.pa.us). In Pennsylvania, West Nile is most commonly seen from July through September. The risk continues until the first hard frost, which kills mosquito larvae. Eighty percent of people who contract the virus will have no symptoms. About 20 percent of infections may result in mild fever, and less than 1 percent of infections can turn severe, leading to meningitis or encephalitis. Serious complications are more likely to occur in people over 50, or those with compromised immunity. The symptoms of severe infection include headache, high fever, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness and paralysis. It is estimated that one in 150 people infected with the West Nile virus will develop a more severe form of the disease. There is no specific treatment or vaccine for West Nile. Most people fully recover from it. Mosquitoes breed in
stagnant water. The DEP reports that even a small bucket that has stagnant water in it for seven days can become home for up to 1,000 mosquitoes. To reduce mosquito populations, the DEP recommends: Dispose of cans, plastic containers, ceramic pots or similar water-holding containers. Pay special attention to discarded tires. Drill holes in the bottom of recycling containers that are left outside. Drainage holes on the container sides allow enough water for mosquitoes to breed in. Clean clogged roof gutters. Gutters can produce millions of mosquitoes each season. Turn over plastic wading pools when they’re not in use. Turn over wheelbarrows and do not allow water to stagnate in birdbaths. Aerate ornamental pools or stock them with fish. Water gardens but become major mosquito producers if they are allowed to stagnate. Clean and chlorinate swimming pools that are not being used. A swimming pool that is left untended for a month can produce enough mosquitoes to result in neighborhood-wide complaints. Mosquitoes may also breed in the water that collects on swimming pool covers. While the DEP reports that outdoor activities do not have to be curtailed, if West
Nile virus is detected locally, you should step up efforts to prevent insect bites, including wearing shoes, socks, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt when outdoors for long periods of time, or when mosquitoes are most active. Mosquito repellent is recommended. Wash all treated skin and clothing when returning indoors. The DEP also advises that electromagnetic and ultrasound devices, and Vitamin B, are not effective in preventing mosquito bites. The spread of West Nile virus has been carefully tracked. During the 1999 encephalitis outbreak, there were 62 diagnosed human cases and seven deaths, according to the DEP. In 2000, there were 21 diagnosed human cases and two deaths. However, many infected people showed only mild, flu-like symptoms or no symptoms at all. In 2001, there were 66 diagnosed cases and nine deaths. In 2002, there were 4161 diagnosed cases and 277 deaths across the United States (including 62 diagnosed cases and nine deaths in Pennsylvania). In 2003, there were 9,175 human cases reported to CDC, with 230 deaths, and in Pennsylvania there were 247 human cases and eight deaths.

Looking at the process of art, with dazzling results By John Chambless Staff Writer The process of making art is fascinating for those who can’t imagine how the magic is done, as well as for other artists who can appreciate the often laborious path to a finished work. Gallery 222, a threeroom showcase in downtown Malvern, is hosting “Trust the Process,” a wide-reaching exhibition that brings together some regional and national artists whose work is always interesting and sometimes utterly dazzling. The theme of the show, which continues through Aug. 25, is exploring the preparatory works as well as the completed paintings, and to offer a chance for art lovers to pick up a small piece that’s perhaps more in their price range. The works are mixed in each gallery, and they play off one another very well, thanks to curator/artist Randall Graham and his thoughtful arrangement of the show. In one room, with a blend of graphite sketches and painted studies, you will be struck by several standouts. Evan Kitson’s masterful “Glove” and “Pear-After Uglow” reflect a painterly touch with pencil. Between them is “Great Plains,
Ancient Clouds,” a charcoal/ pastel by Robert Wellings that captures a brooding sky and endless, flat landscape, with the paper torn at the edges, as if it has been battered by the storm. Randall Graham’s “Her Story,” a nude woman gazing out at a blue-green expanse of open water, is particularly fine; and his “Phillip’s Mill,” a sunny oil of a local landmark, radiates summertime heat. The central room at Gallery 222 has a series of four oil studies of faces by Martin Campos that seem to coalesce out of the smeared paint as you watch. Patrick Lee’s five black-and-white acrylics have a sketchy, dynamic energy. But Erin Anderson’s four portraits of women are dazzling. Tightly focused on the faces of three women, they are nearly photorealist in their detail. In the main gallery, though, Anderson goes for the knockout punch with fully realized, ultradetailed oil portraits done on copper panels. The nude subject of “The Vet,” the larger of the works, regards the viewer with a gaze that’s confident and beguiling, and she almost seems to breathe. Similarly, the much smaller “Heather With Headwinds” captures a sitter with eyes

closed and a smile, her skin rendered so masterfully that you will swear you see her move. The figures are astonishing, but the panels are also expressively burnished, giving a sinuous movement around the figures. Adam Vinson won’t be a familiar name locally, but he’s known for trompe l’oeil works, exemplified here by “Bomber,” which shows a photo of a plane with old nails laid across it. The 3-D magic is tinkered with in several small works by Vinson that isolate faces from old snapshots, perhaps, that emerge from sketchy backgrounds or are partially obscured by swipes of paint. By loosening up in these new works, Vinson is showing a new direction, and it’s a striking one. There’s a gouache by Bo Bartlett, “Wheaton Island,” as a superstar attention-getter, but Alexandra Tyng makes a bigger statement with “Off-Season Jim Thorpe,” a huge view of the historic architecture and tourist tackiness of the Pennsylvania town. Her small study of part of the scene, which hangs nearby, is no less intriguing. Jenn Warpole’s “Devon Horse Show 2” is a sketchy oil of a scene that will be familiar to many area equestrians, and Even Kitson shows two graphite works – “Heather” and “Joanne” – that have a strong presence. But between them is a tour de force oil by Robert Wellings, titled “Distant Lights, Dusk.” It’s a magical expanse of late-dusk sky, with thin lines and dots of street lights in the distance. The sense of soaring space, and the way the work comes together only at a
distance, is a feat of brushwork that lets the viewer connect the dots. Kennett Square artist Neilson Carlin shows two charcoal studies and two finished paintings – “Fr. Jacques Hamel” and “St. Lucy” – that are supremely skillful, and packed with symbolic resonance and high drama. In the gallery kitchen/ mingling area, don’t miss smaller works by Randall Graham that are displayed on shelves. There are three floral studies and three portraits, including Joel Embiid,” which packs a lot of character detail into a small area. The new gallery has taken a big step forward with this show, bringing in some superstars that will delight visitors with works that are consistently challenging and lovely. “Trust the Process” is well worth checking out before it leaves at the end of the month. Gallery 222 is at 222 E. King St., Malvern. Visit www. gallery222malvern.com.

MALCOLM T. RAYNE
GEORGE E. GRAHAM
NANCY HARLAN KODISH
Malcolm “Mac” Timothy Rayne, 77, of Kennett Square, PA, died on Tuesday, Aug. 7. He was the husband of Caroline “Cammye” Mills Rayne, with whom he shared 37 years of marriage. Born in West Chester, he was the son of the late Howard Timothy and Catharine Dare Rayne and the Grandson of Malcolm Farquhar and Catharine Farquhar. Mac served our country as a Sergeant in the Army Reserves. He was a 1959 graduate of Kennett High School, attended Fishburne Military School and then received his college degree from the University of Delaware. For 29 years, Mac was a beloved fifth grade teacher at Greenwood Elementary School in Kennett Township. Countless students rank him as their “favorite teacher ever” and all remember how he brought science to life with his hands-on experiments and made math fun with games and prizes. His students will also recall that every recess he would organize and play in a game of football or kickball. Mac and Cammye also enjoyed a long 27 year career in the photography business. Their business, The Outdoor Studio, provided photography for all of life’s special events for many area families. Mac was also gifted in capturing nature in his images. He was named “Best Photographer” in Delaware multiple years and earned the Degree of Master of Photography from the Professional Photographers of America. For over a decade, he ran the Photography Club at Crosslands Community and organized and judged an annual Photography Scavenger Hunt in which he gave the group a list of words or phrases and let them create images to match. Mac also loved to play tennis and golf, but most of all, he was a family man who simply enjoyed time with his family which included his beloved dachshund dogs, most recently Bubba Gump. In addition to his wife Cammye, he is survived by three sons, Timothy Rayne (Amee) of Kennett Square, Stephen Rayne (Lisa) of New London, and Stanley Wilcox (Kim) of Kennett Square; one daughter, Lisa Diehl (Daniel) of Birmingham AL; one sister, Katharine Dare Gregory of Kennett Square; seven grandchildren, Sierra, Mac, Joshua, Matthew, Nathan, Alina and Danielle; two cousins, Patty Meyer of ME and Richard Thompson of CA; two nephews Peter Gray (Jill) of Kennett Square and David Gray (Alyssa) of North Carolina and one niece Lisa McManus (Jim) of Kennett Square. You are invited to visit with Mac’s family and friends from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 18, at Greenwood Elementary School, 420 Greenwood Rd in Kennett Square. A memorial meeting for worship will follow at 11 a.m. at the school. Interment will be held privately. Contributions in his memory may be made to Tick Tock Early Learning Center, 1694 Baltimore Pike, Avondale, PA 19311 or to Neighborhood Hospice 795 E. Marshall St. Suite 204 West Chester, Pa. 19380. Arrangements are by Bachman Funeral Home. Condolences can be shared at www.bachmanfuneral.com.
George Evan Graham, 78, of Newark, Del., passed away on Aug. 6 at Christiana Hospital. He was the husband of the late Mary Jane Peoples Graham. Born in West Grove, he was the son of the late Harry Preston and Eva Mae Chambers Graham. George received his associate’s degree from Goldey-Beacom College. He was a veteran of the U.S. Navy and served in the Vietnam War. He was employed with Chrysler as an information technologist for 42 years. He was an Eagle Scout, and an avid fisherman. He is survived by three children, Cathleen Elaine Crothers (John) of New Castle, Del., George Preston Graham (Demrie) of Florida, and Harry Peoples Graham of Newark, Del.; four grandchildren; one great-grandson; and one brother, Lawrence Graham of Wilmington, Del.

Nancy Harlan Kodish, 65, of Oxford, passed away on June 18 at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pa. Nancy was born and raised in Oxford. She was the daughter of the late William Frederick and Anne Bush Harlan. Nancy was happily married to Richard Kodish for 27 years, during which they raised their blended family of five children together in Oxford. Upon graduating from Lincoln University, Nancy started her young adult life as a substitute teacher before spending time as a stay-at-home mom with her first three children. She later worked alongside Rich as a gas control analyst for 19 years. After retirement from the natural gas industry, she joined the Oxford Public Library’s staff, where she was lovingly known as “Miss Nancy” and could be caught doing the Hokey Pokey and other silly songs with a room full of children and parents each week during story time. All of these career changes perfectly prepared her for her dream job of becoming a grandmother. She spent the last of her years teaching her grandchildren the importance of books and classical music, being kind to one another, and keeping family close. Nancy was a devoted Christian and member of the Oxford Presbyterian Church. She was a well-practiced musician, playing the flute for her church, and playing on the piano that belonged to her mother, Anne Harlan. Nancy is survived by her husband, Richard Kodish; her children, Laurie (Joey) Simpers, Curtis (Ashley) Kodish, Katie (Jon) Yoder, Leslie (Matt) Fanning, and Raymond Kodish; as well as her nine grandchildren. A service was held Aug. 12. Interment was private. In lieu of flowers, her family asks for donations to be made in Nancy’s name to the Oxford Public Library, 48 S. 2nd St., Oxford, PA 19363; or the Oxford Presbyterian Church’s Worship Ministry. Online condolences may be made at www. elcollinsfuneralhome.com.

La Comunidad Hispana celebrates National Health Week By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer To help kick off National Health Center Week, La Comunidad Hispana (LCH) hosted the National Institute of Health and the National Alliance for Hispanic Health on Aug. 10, for an evening of free vision screenings, family activities, Zumba, face painting, and a chance for visitors to share their health information that will be used to accelerate research into the health of all Americans. The data compiled was part of the National Institute of Health’s All of Us Research Program, a traveling exhibit that is about one-tenth of the way toward achieving its goal to create a database from one million or more volunteers living in the U.S. The program will allow researchers to discover better testing; develop additional applications to encourage healthy habits; and discover more advanced forms of “precision” medicine, which takes into account factors like location, occupation and family health in order to determine a path of health tailored to each participating individual. The All of Us Program is currently touring the U.S., and made a stop in Philadelphia last weekend. “All of Us is so
Litsy Villicana was one of many youngsters in attendance who enjoyed having their face painted for the event.

important to shaping the future of health in the United States,” said Dr. Jane L. Delgado, president and CEO of the National Alliance for Hispanic Health, the nation’s leading Hispanic health advocacy group. “This research prog ram will bring together communities throughout the United States to drive new discoveries, which may lead to earlier disease identif ication, more precise treatment solutions and better health outcomes for all in the future.” The event served as a component to LCH’s commitment to combining integrated health, behavioral and social services for the local Hispanic
population, regardless of a person’s ability pay. Currently, it is southern Chester County’s only federally qualif ied health center. “It is important that research includes under-represented communities so that we, as a federally qualified health center, can be better informed about best practices for patients,” said Alisa M. Jones, CEO of LCH. “Too often, the Hispanic population and other under-represented groups are left out of major research, which is a major disadvantage to the community and those that serve them.” National Alliance for Hispanic Health is the nation’s foremost science-based source
of information and a trusted, non-partisan advocate for the best health outcomes for all. The Alliance represents thousands of Hispanic health providers across the nation, providing services to more than 15 million people each year. Despite the growth of the Hispanic population in the United States, its genetic, environmental and cultural components have never been factored into an overall health study. The All of Us Research Program aims to redirect that focus, said Edgar Gil of the National Alliance for Hispanic Health. “Right now, medicines and treatments are based on the data, usually from white males, but maybe

that treatment and that pill that was developed for that subject group may not be the right one for an Africa-American or a Native American or a person of Hispanic origins,” Gil said. “It is not that the Hispanic population is underserved, but the issue historically has been that we have never been included. They have never looked at us as a
big group, and we’re not a minority anymore. We are the second-largest group of people in this country. “That’s what we’re trying to change.” To learn more about the All of Us Research Program, visit www. joinallofus.org. To contact Staff Writer Richard L. Gaw, email rgaw@chestercounty. com.

Sacred Heart and Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary elementary schools to remain open The schools will also look to increase enrollment, Office of Catholic Education announces
Through new planning initiatives, development of Boards of Limited Jurisdiction, financial support, and enhancement of curricular offerings Sacred Heart and Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Elementary Schools will remain open and look to increase enrollment, the Office of Catholic Education announced last week. In 2017, the Southern Chester County Steering Committee (SCCSC) was formed to examine the best way to deliver Catholic education to students in Southern Chester County. Under the Archdiocesan governance structure for elementary education, the Advisory Council for Catholic Elementary Education in Chester County (ACCC) is
one of six County Councils that work closely with the Office of Catholic Education (OCE), and the Executive Board of Elementary Education (EBEE). The EBEE is chaired by Bishop Michael J. Fitzgerald, the Auxiliary Bishop who oversees Catholic Education. The ACCC’s primary mission is to work at the local level to develop strategies and plans to sustain, and grow Catholic school enrollment within Chester County. In collaboration with the above groups, The Foundation for Catholic Education, founded in 2010, is a not-for-profit organization supporting the EBEE and the County Advisory Councils in carrying out their important work. The Office of Catholic
Education (OCE) announced that both Sacred Heart Catholic Elementary School in Oxford and Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Elementary School (ABVM) in West Grove will remain open. This information was initially shared by letter with school families from the five parish communities sending students to the schools. Those parishes are Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, West Grove; Sacred Heart, Oxford; Saint Gabriel of the Sorrowful Mother Avondale; Saint Patrick, Kennett Square; and Saint Rocco, Avondale. The decision to keep the two schools open was made after a careful analysis of valuable data collected locally from parents, parishioners and other key stakeholders.
Using this information the SCCSC considered how it could deliver services to the families in Southern Chester County. Through additional surveys and analysis results related to possible options to consolidate, it was clear that families wanted to attend their local school and did not support consolidation and traveling to a new, single school location. The focus of the SCCSC then turned to how each school could be made sustainable. Beginning with the 20182019 school year several new initiatives will be rolled out to support the sustainability and increased enrollment of Sacred Heart and ABVM Catholic Elementary Schools. • A Strategic Planning Assistance Team comprised
of the pastor; principal; business manager; a senior administrator from OCE; a senior administrator from the Archdiocesan Office for Parish Service and Support, and representatives from the Foundation for Catholic Education will work with ABVM and Sacred Heart for over 12 months to maximize finances, academics, and marketing. • The Foundation for Catholic Education will provide both schools with financial support to move each school toward self-sustainability. • School and parish leadership will look to enhance curriculum offerings as well as co-curricular offerings with a particularly strong focus on STREAM (Science,
Technology, Religion, Engineering, and Math) to help meet the expectations of the school community. • A Board of Limited Jurisdiction (BLJ) will be developed at each school to seek community support. Already rolled out in dozens of schools throughout the Archdiocese, a Board of Limited Jurisdiction is a policy-making body made up of lay volunteers from various professional backgrounds representing a broad demographic crosssection of the schools and parishes they serve. This board is committee-driven and will oversee budgeting, development, and marketing. It will not be involved in curriculum, personnel, or student-based matters.
Chester County reaches milestone in farmland preservation The Chester County Commissioners announced an important agricultural land preservation milestone in the county. Since October of 1990, when the first farm successfully went into the program, Chester County’s Agricultural Land Preservation Board (ALPB) has approved the preservation of 40,000 farm acres on more than 500 farms. This farmland preservation represents a significant contribution to Chester County’s overall open space preservation program which now accounts for 28 percent of the county. Chester County Commissioners’ Chair
Michelle Kichline said, “Many of the farms that have sought preservation in Chester County are ‘century farms’ which have been in the same family for at least 100 years. In this instance, the preservation funds can help transition the farm to the next generation, in addition to preserving the open fields and rolling hills.” Farms with 10 acres or more are eligible for both the Commonwealth/County Program and the Chester County Challenge Grant Program if they are adjacent to other permanently preserved land. For farms not adjacent to permanently preserved land, the acreage minimums are 50
acres for the Commonwealth/ County Program and 25 acres for the Challenge Grant Program. Even if land is enrolled in an Agricultural Security Area (ASA) or Act 319 (Clean and Green), farmers are still eligible to receive additional funds to preserve their farms. Farmers still own the land and can sell it or pass it on to the next generation as long as it remains in agriculture. “The variety of preserved farms in Chester County reflects the diversity of our agriculture,” said Chester County Commissioner Kathi Cozzone. “From fruits, vegetables, soybeans and
mushrooms to tree farms, dairy, beef, pigs, turkey and ducks, equine operations – even alpacas.” Preservation of a farm removes the development potential from the land, making the price more affordable for new generations to purchase the farm and participate in Chester County’s agriculture industry. “Farmlands are a vital industry in Chester County, creating more than $600 million in revenue a year, and the county’s agriculture industry contributes over $3 billion to our local economy through sales, employment, taxes and services,” added
