A crowd of more than 250 gathered at Anson B. Nixon Park on Monday afternoon to admire a solar eclipse, as part of a program created by the Kennett Library.

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer Spread out on the gently sloping lawn across from the bandshell at Anson B. Nixon Park in Kennett Square, a crowd of nearly 250 men, women and children tilted their heads upward on Monday and, behind eclipse glasses and makeshift replicas, watched in awe as the moon slowly blocked out the sun.

the moon passes between Earth and the sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the sun for a viewer on Earth.

While Chester County and most of the nation experienced a solar eclipse, millions of Americans saw a total solar eclipse that was visible in 14 states -- a path of totality that accounts for about 16 percent of the country, from Oregon to South Carolina.

A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon’s apparent diameter is larger than the sun’s, blocking all direct sunlight and turning day into darkness.

U-CF School Board prepares for new school year

By John Chambless Staff Writer A relatively short meeting for the Unionville-Chadds Ford School Board on Aug. 21 included some last-minute hiring and staff adjustments for the school year, which begins on Aug. 28.

In his opening remarks, district superintendent John Sanville set the tone for the year by saying, “We are preparing to welcome 4,000 students, 700 employees and 3,500 families to the

New Garden says ‘No’ to gerrymandering

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer The New Garden Township Board of Supervisors voted 4-0 at their Aug. 21 meeting to pass the township’s Resolution No. 2017, which lends the township’s support to impartial, fair and transparent redistricting reform, and calls for and end to gerrymandering across Pennsylvania, which has resulted in congressional redistricting of districts to favor one political party.

Those voting in favor the resolution were board chairman Pat Little,

and supervisors Stephen Allaband, Randy Geouque and Mike Loftus. Supervisor Richard Ayotte was not present at the meeting.

By signing the resolution, New Garden tosses its support to legislative efforts to secure expeditious action to make a constitutional amendment that would, among other reforms, assign the decennial task of both legislative and congressional redistricting to an independent citizens redistricting commission.

The resolution says, in part, that the township encourages “all those elected officials in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania who repre-

sent the citizens of the Township of New Garden to publicly announce their support of and commitment to work towards passage of such legislative efforts.”

Copies of the resolution will be sent to Gov. Tom Wolf, Lieutenant, Gov. Mike Stack, Attorney General Josh Shapiro, U.S. Sens. Bob Casey and Pat Toomey, U.S. Rep. Patrick Meehan, Sen. Andrew Dinniman, Pennsylvania Rep. Eric Roe, and Chester County Commissioners Kathi Cozzone, Terence Farrell and Michelle Kichline.

2017-18 school year. We will be opening our arms as wide as we can to embrace everyone. In a year when we are so divided as a nation, I am thankful to be part of the U-CF community that accepts differences and focuses on common goals.

We are a thoughtful, respectful and caring place. A place that has not, and will not, tolerate harassment, intimidation or hate of any kind.

A place where every person can feel safe and be respected.”

Before a vote on a list of

tentative school field trips for the year, board member Gregg Lindner reiterated his comments from a previous meeting that, “Some of these day trips are too expensive.

Particularly, there’s one that costs almost $200 to see a play in New York. My concern is that places a burden on many parents, and we should avoid those kinds of trips.”

Assistant superintendent John Nolen agreed, saying, “We did have a discussion with the high school Continued on Page 4A

Penn Township will soon have a Dunkin’ Donuts

By Nancy Johnson Correspondent Approximately 18 months after the Penn Township Board of Supervisors was first approached by Dunkin’ Donuts, the popular fast food restaurant’s conditional use application was approved unanimously, subject to all conditions being met.

Featuring a drive-through layout, the Dunkin’ Donuts will be built on a site in The Shoppes of Jenners Commons on Baltimore Pike that was originally approved for a bank.

New arts and music festival being planned in Oxford

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer A new, full-day arts and music festival is being planned for downtown Oxford, and the event could debut in August of 2018.

The festival is envisioned as a family-friendly event that will attract visitors from all over the area.

At the Aug. 14 meeting of Oxford Borough Council, the committee organizing the arts and music festival made a formal presentation, outlining some of the preliminary details.

David Ogino, who serves on the committee that plans the enormously popular annual car show, explained that he is one of nine members of the new committee planning the arts and music festival. The committee includes several business owners, borough

residents, and individuals involved with the Oxford Arts Alliance or the local arts community.

The purpose of the event, Ogino said, is to shine a spotlight on the borough’s businesses and its thriving arts community, and to bring new visitors to downtown Oxford.

“This event will bring more people to town than any other event,” Ogino said. “We’d like to see Oxford continue to grow and develop. Supporting local businesses is my primary objective here.”

Ogino noted that the Oxford Arts Alliance has helped Oxford grow considerably over the last decade, and continuing to develop Oxford’s position as a strong community for arts, music, and culture will be beneficial.

Ogino said that an arts

and music festival would showcase local artists and musicians and improve the youthful culture in town.

The event would bring money into the local economy and increase Oxford’s status as an artistic community. It would also deepen community pride, he said.

Melissa Pacella, a member of the committee, said that they are looking at Saturday, Aug. 4, 2018 as the tentative date, with Sunday, Aug. 5 serving as the rain date.

Pacella said that there will likely be several different stages for bands to perform on throughout downtown Oxford, including a fiddler’s picnic and country music show on a stage in Oxford Memorial Park.

There could also be a stage set up on Market Street and one on Third Street. Pacella Continued on Page 3A

Oxford Borough takes the booby prize

By Uncle Irvin A front-page chart in the Aug. 16 Chester County Press tells the same old story – Oxford Borough property owners pay the highest property taxes in southern Chester County.

The combined millage for Oxford Borough is 43.3984 mills (that’s the borough’s millage rate of 12.25 mills, plus the 31.1484 mills of school property taxes).

Kennett Square Borough has the second-highest rate at 36.2289 mills (that’s the borough’s millage rate of 6.35 mills, plus the 29.8789 mills in school property taxes).

The biggest reason for the disparity between boroughs and townships is the disproportionately high cost that boroughs face of maintaining a 24/7 police force. A big factor in determining the burden of school property taxes is a community’s tax rateables, especially commercial taxes.

The large crowd began to arrive at Anson B. Nixon Park well before the solar eclipse could be seen.

Eclipse...

Continued from Page 1A

The reason for the large crowd at the park was due, in part, to a viewing event created by the Kennett Library. The idea stemmed from an article read by library trustee Dr. Brenda Mercomes, which was then passed to library director Megan Walters.

“I moved here from Boston a few years ago, and still read the Boston

Globe online,” Mercomes said. “I read that the Boston Public Library was purchasing eclipse glasses and handing them out on a first-come, first-served basis. I sent the article to Megan, and within the next half hour, she had put the idea into motion.”

As part of the program, the library handed out more than 100 eclipse viewing glasses, but unfortunately did not have enough to accommodate everyone.

Kennett Square’s mayor supports ‘100% Clean Energy’ initiative

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer Kennett Square mayor Matt Fetick has added his name to the growing list of mayors across the U.S. who support the “Mayors for 100% Clean Energy” initiative that promotes a complete transition to clean, renewable energy.

At the Aug. 7 meeting, Fetick outlined his support for Mayors for 100% Clean Energy, and how he would like to see the Borough of Kennett Square fully transitioned to clean, renewable energy by 2022.

Fetick joined a growing number of mayors of small towns and big cities who support the clean energy initiative by signing an endorsement that states, in part: “I believe that a transition to 100 percent clean energy is good for my community: It will make us stronger, healthier, and more resilient; It will create jobs and

new business opportunities; and it will allow us to become a more equitable society where everyone has opportunity in a thriving local economy.”

Philadelphia mayor Jim Kenney was the 100th mayor across the U.S. to sign on to Mayors for 100% Clean Energy, and at least ten mayors from Pennsylvania boroughs and cities have joined the movement, including Fetick.

According to a press release issued by Fetick’s office, the seriousness of climate change makes action necessary.

“Combating the threat of climate change is not only a moral responsibility,” Fetick wrote. “It’s an opportunity of a lifetime to re-power our borough and empower our communities with clean, renewable energy. That’s why, as mayor of Kennett Square, I am proud to support the goal of powering our borough with 100

percent clean energy.”

Noting that doctors, nurses, and scientists all agree that pollution from fossil fuels is dangerous, Fetick advocated for a transition to cleaner, more affordable sources of energy like wind power and solar power.

“We know that these climate solutions are readily available and promise a brighter future for our community,” Fetick wrote.

He pointed out that just as computers and the Internet transformed the economy, new businesses will be launched and new jobs will be created as a result of a move to clean and renewable energy.

According to Fetick, “The transition will not happen overnight. It will take our community coming together to make it happen. But I know that 100 percent clean energy isn’t just the right thing to do for our families, it’s the smart thing to do for jobs and for the local economy.”

In other business at the Aug. 7 meeting, borough council unanimously approved a zoning ordinance amendment that will establish new guidelines for the borough’s O-I Office and Industrial District.

The new regulations allow and provide definitions for a variety of new entries, including conference centers, taprooms, makerspaces craft rooms, and tasting rooms. These are businesses that would be complementary to existing businesses, rather than competing with them.

The new ordinance takes into account current uses and also the regional economic development study that was completed.

Kennett Square Borough Council unanimously signed off on the establishment of the Kennett Fire and EMS Regional Commission, including a memorandum of understanding with surrounding municipalities to form the commission. The collaboration will open the

door to the potential sharing of fire and ambulance resources while maintaining the existing fire and ambulance companies as independent organizations.

Council member Ethan Cramer said that, generally speaking, whenever the borough can work with a neighboring municipality to enhance the services that are provided to residents, that is a good thing.

The borough will have significant input into the activities of the Kennett Fire and EMS Regional Commission.

“We are going to be a strong voice at the table,” said Cramer.

Council president Dan Maffei emphasized that the formation of the commission doesn’t infringe on the independence of the fire company or ambulance division, nor will it mean a cut in resources for any of the municipalities involved.

“No fire company is going to get less money than what they get now,” Maffei said.

Council also approved an ordinance amendment to chapter 8 of the borough’s codes pertaining to housing, use, and occupancy.

The new regulations were made necessary by new state requirements, as state lawmakers amended the Municipal Code and Ordinance Compliance Act. This Act establishes the procedures for the issuance of use and occupancy certificates related to the sale of property, addressing both minor violations of municipal codes and ordinances and also substantial violations that make a property unfit for human habitation.

Similarly, federal regulations prompted a change in the borough’s flood plain overlay districts. Borough council unanimously approved the zoning ordinance amendments to keep the borough in compliance with the federal guidelines.

A new local location for National Night Out next year?

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer As part of its involvement in National Night Out this year, Kennett Township Police Chief Lydell Nolt told the township’s Board of Supervisors at their Aug. 16 meeting that the police department held four preevents in the township, before it joined the Kennett Square Police Department at National Night Out festivities in Kennett Square’s East Linden Street neighborhood on Aug. 1.

Board Chairman Scudder Stevens suggested to Nolt that the township should be considered as a possible site for a future National Night Out event, and it turns out that’s exactly what’s being considered for next year.

For the past eight years,

the annual National Night Out in Kennett Square has known only one home and two police units, and its back story runs through the work of former Kennett Police Chief Edward Zunino. As part of the Historic East Linden Project and in conjunction with the Joseph & Sarah Carter Community Development Corporation, Zunino, who died on May 12, worked to bring back the once under-served neighborhood, and restore it as an exemplary site for strong resident-police relations.

In honor of Zunino, this year’s event was renamed “The Edward Zunino National Night Out.” While Nolt said that the choice to hold the event on East Linden Street this year was in tribute to Zunino, he

agreed with Stevens, and said that discussions have begun to consider broadening the reach of the event by holding it elsewhere.

“Next year is when we will start to look past the [East Linden] area,” Nolt said. “I feel that it needs to be expanded. We have residents from a 20-plus square-mile area who would love to join in. Hopefully next year, we will see a different venue and different set-up, and preamble to it as well.”

In other police news, Det. Amanda Wenrich has completed a specialized assignment with the Chester County Detectives Office.

During her training, Det. Wenrich initiated an investigation in a sexual assault case, an illegal narcotics case, and also assisted the

office in a recent homicide investigation that occurred in Chester County.

In township business, Township Manager Lisa Moore said that she is working with Township Roadmaster Roger Lysle in trying to raise the $600 that will be needed in order to pay for new signage for the VFW Post 5467 on West Cypress Street in Kennett Square.

Supervisor Whitney Hoffman suggested that Moore contact Rep. Steve Barrar.

“This would be a great way for him to do something in an area where he has an existing constituency,” Hoffman said.

Moore also said that the township’s sidewalk project is continuing on Cypress Street, McFarlan Road,

Rosedale Road and Penns Manor Drive heading toward Old Baltimore Pike.

Moore announced that tickets for the “Rock the Park” event, scheduled for Sept. 24 in Anson B. Nixon Park, are now available in advance. The event, which will take place from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m., will include food trucks, high school musicians, a bike demonstration

by Bike Kennett, and an appearance by the popular cover band Love Seed Mama Jump. “Rock the Park” is free to everyone 20 and under, and all proceeds will be dedicated to the park.

In addition, Moore said that the township is exploring the idea of creating a Spring film series in Anson B. Nixon Park, beginning in 2018.

The township’s Environmental Advisory Council made a recommendation to the supervisors to place a scrap metal container at the township’s maintenance garage, to allow residents to dispose of metal items. After discussion about the pros and cons of creating such a container -- such as times when it will be open, safety requirements and rules, and the need to have a volunteer to oversee operations -- the board approved of the recommendation.

The board also approved the appointment of Kevin Parchen to the township’s Trails and Sidewalk Committee.

Franklin Supervisors celebrate stop sign approval

By John Chambless Staff Writer The Aug. 16 meeting of the Franklin Township Board of Supervisors started with some happy news and congratulations regarding the approval of a four-way stop at Appleton Road and Strickersville Road.

Appleton Road is used heavily by residents of nearby housing developments, and it cuts through a property that is now being farmed by Amish families.

Traffic on Strickersville Road has to stop, but the traffic on Appleton Road does not. The Amish family members must cross the road several times a day to get to their barn, and

residents were concerned about young children or horse-drawn wagons being in harm’s way.

Neighbor and former supervisor Nan Latimer had led an effort to get stop signs put up on Appleton Road, but her effort and several attempts by the Franklin Board of Supervisors had failed to convince PennDOT to alter the intersection. Over the past couple of months, the township stepped up efforts, and on Aug. 11, PennDOT called to say that the stop signs would be put in place.

At the meeting, Latimer thanked those who helped the project, congratulating Democrats and Republicans for working together with FairDistricts Pa. “Right now, we’re really fighting the court of public opinion,” Unger said.

“Nationally, they are looking at gerrymandering, in terms of the Supreme Court ruling on it this year, who will be looking at partisan advantage gerrymandering, when before it was just racial gerrymandering.

Locally, we just need to continue putting pressure on our local representatives, in terms of making them do the right thing. They won’t do it on their own, as they’ve demonstrated year in and year out.”

The resolution also said, “the creation of a truly independent citizens redistricting commission devoid of political motivation or partisanship will help to ensure a fair and accurate legislative and congressional redistricting process that respects political subdivisions, will prohibit districts from being drawn to favor or discriminate against a political party or candidate, will promote transparency, the use of impartial and sound methodology when setting district boundaries, and allow for public input, To contact Staff Writer and will fully comply with Richard L.

PennDOT. She thanked the township staff, the Board of Supervisors, and Rep. John Lawrence and Sen. Andy Dinniman for writing letters to PennDOT about the intersection. Later in the meeting, supervisor Penny Schenk reminded the board that Latimer had purchased stop signs for PennDOT to use at the intersection and recommended that the township refund Latimer’s money. PennDOT uses specially marked signs at their intersections, but the township can use the signs Latimer bought in other locations where stop signs are needed. The supervisors agreed with Schenk’s recommendation.

In other business, Paul Lagasse of the Historical Commission/HARB reported that the group had reviewed the Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) for 3313 Appleton Rd. The

new owners of the property were at the meeting and are enthusiastic about restoring the home. Lagasse said that the owners provided the HARB with a thorough application. The board unanimously granted the COA for porch, chimney and roof repairs.

The issues surrounding the township’s MS4 requirement were updated as well. The Department of Environmental Protectionmandated program is intended to manage stormwater. As part of the township’s MS4 Permit Application, due on Sept. 16, the township must supply a TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load) Plan for sediment and nutrients in the Christina River Basin.

Township stormwater engineer, Linda Cluck, said that although the township has exceeded the MS4 requirements in the eastern section of urbanized areas, the per-

centages must be lowered in the middle and western sections. The township can lower the percentages by implementing stream bank restorations, tree plantings, and stormwater basin retrofits. Further details will be announced at next month’s meeting.

The board authorized the installation of guiderails on portions of South Guernsey Road and Laurel Bridge Road. The work will be done by Morgan Rail, the lowest responsible bidder, in the amount of $48,538.

As part of an expansion plan for the Avon Grove Charter School, which includes the addition of a third grade, a threeway stop at Franklin and Peacedale roads has been recommended. Resident Suzie Harris brought the sight distance issue at the intersection to the board’s attention at last month’s

meeting. The board agreed that turning this intersection into a three-way stop would be an important safety improvement. As part of the remedy, vegetation that is blocking sight lines will be cut back, and the township engineer will develop a plan for stop sign placement and road markings.

The board authorized the advertising of an ordinance regarding the installation of an additional stop sign on Peacedale Road East, and removing the “Except for Right Hand Turn” on the stop sign at Peacedale Road West at its intersection with Franklin Road, making it an all-way stop intersection.

Mary Lou Baily, the executive assistant at Oxford Mainstreet, Inc. (OMI), said that the event is a collaboration between OMI and the Arts Alliance, and the partnership will make the event better than it could have been if either organization was planning it on

their own.

Oxford Borough Council unanimously voiced its support for the event, which is a formality, but the borough is expected to help out with some of the preparation and clean up for the event.

The Oxford Borough Police Department will also be a part of the collaboration by helping with the plan-

ning process and staffing the event.

Borough council president Ron Hershey expressed council’s support for the arts and music festival.

“I would love to see this happen,” he said.

Continued from Page 1A

The future, unfortunately, looks just like the past for Oxford. While the figures change annually, this trend has been in place for at least 50 years. Fortunately, Kennett Square Borough looks like it is moving toward a more stable future. Major development plans are being implemented, and it appears a new boutique hotel is coming to town. And there is still time for both boroughs to realign their police situation with regionalization of police forces.

However, the vast gap in property taxes will continue to hurt both Kennett Square Borough and Oxford Borough as the wealthier businesses and residents will continue to choose lower tax alternatives in the neighboring townships.

administration about this last week. They concur 100 percent. We will continue to be very careful. For that specific trip, we’re going to look for alternatives.”

Lindner said, “Thank you for such a fast turnaround.”

“It’s important to us that these activities are available at a reasonable rate to all students,” Nolen responded.

The bridge in Pocopson, which has been under construction for months, is slated to be completed on Sept. 1, Sanville said, adding that the company has a firm deadline, with penalties for being late. “We have sent messages to families whose students are part of that bus route over that bridge,” he said. “For the first four days,

in the house, and the kids didn’t want to go home. We thank you for choosing us.”

She also thanked Medic 94 and Special Olympics, partners in the event, for their help.

In other business, Scott Steele reported on behalf of the Historical Commission.

He was very pleased with the first oral history the group recorded, that of 99-year-old Lawrence Waltman.

“Kathy Wandersee wrote the questions, so she gets 99 percent of the credit,” he said.

Regarding the one-hourand-20-minute recording, Steele said, “We’re not sure what to do with it yet.

Maybe we will add music and photos of Sunset Park.”

Steele said that longtime

township supervisor Bill Finnen will be the next oral history interview.

In regard to Penn Township’s upcoming bicentennial in 2019, Steele said, “We would like to use the Red Rose Inn in some way. Maybe we could do a recreation of the Red Rose Rent Day?” He also requested that the board approve an application for a historical marker for Sunset Park. “It’s a pretty competitive process, but I think we have a good shot because Sunset Park’s impact was far reaching,” he said.

Steve Giampaolo of McMahon Associates, transportation engineers and planners, made a presentation and updated the supervisors about

the Baltimore Pike and Jennersville Road intersection. McMahon is in charge of the final design for the troublesome intersection, and he is working with PennDOT for approvals. He explained that their traffic analysis projected growth 20 years ahead, and most likely the project will be done in three phases. The first, short-term improvement will predominantly involve signal improvement that will help alleviate backed-up traffic during heavy traffic periods. The second phase will focus on northbound and southbound turning lanes off of Jennersville Road, while additional right-turn lanes on Baltimore Pike will be addressed in the third phase.

Versuk reported that the

summer programs in the park have gone very well, and that plans for the 13th Annual Health & Wellness Community Picnic on Sept. 23 are progressing.

All of the regular favorites – including a chicken barbeque and live music – will be back, plus some new additions, including the Flyers Skate Girls.

students will be on a slightly longer bus ride until the bridge opens up.”

At last week’s school board meeting, the board heard from school nurses about an updated immunization rule from the state that had some families scrambling to get their children to a doctor before the start of school.

The district is adjusting its policy to align with the state guidelines.

“The immunization policy came up for first reading last week,” Sanville said.

“Administrators and nurses and support staff in all six of our buildings contacted the families of 250 students who were not in compliance with the new immunization policy for start of the school year. We are feverishly receiving immunization notifications from families.”

The number of students who do not meet the require-

ments “is now about cut in half,” Sanville added.

During comments regarding legislation affecting the district, board member Jeff Hellrung addressed the delay in an approved state budget, saying, “I’m rather dismayed to see that.

We’re just not getting a revenue package out of the legislature. I did not think they should have been taking vacation this summer without giving us a budget.

The state is quickly getting into trouble regarding cash reserves to pay bills.

It’s not a good situation in Harrisburg.”

Hellrung then read from his statement about a reduction in state PSSA testing for elementary school students that was approved by Gov. Wolf. “One test section will be eliminated in the math and English language arts PSSA test, amounting to a

93 minute total time reduction,” Hellrung said. “Also, approximately 22 minutes will be saved by eliminating questions from the PSSA science test. We all know our elementary students are subjected to far too many state and federally mandated, high-stakes standardized tests, right? So this reduction in time must be a fine idea.

“But wait,” he continued. “PSSA tests are designed to measure student achievement versus our Pennsylvania core content standards, and year-to-year growth for individual students. They are the only federally mandated or state tests for our elementary students. Math and language arts are tested annually in grades 3 to 8, and science is tested in grades 4 and 8.

“We devote approximately 0.5 percent of elementary school time from

kindergarten through eighth grade to mandated testing.

Is that excessive? The PSSA gives us our best and most comprehensive single measure of student learning. So why did we just diminish the value of the PSSA by reducing test time?

“The campaign against state testing is driven by a false narrative from many of our top educational leaders in Pennsylvania. Too many of these leaders claim that we are swamped by too many standardized tests.

That’s false. They also claim that test preparation takes an extreme amount of time and forces out creativity, exploration and collaboration. But school districts that overdo test preparation have only themselves to blame.

They shortchange students in the futile hope that the result will be a better report card for the district. Instead,

they should integrate PSSA content into their curriculum and trust their well-qualified teachers.

“PSSA scores have no influence on promotion, placement or grades for our students,” Hellrung said. “For teachers, they offer valuable feedback that can lead to continuous improvement in their educational practices. The PSSA does have the potential to embarrass school districts. I believe most senior administrators who criticize the PSSA are trying to escape accountability for the performance of their students and their schools.”

5K run honors everyday heroes like Jerome Rodio

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer The runners and walkers gathered at the starting line at shortly after 9 o’clock last Saturday morning. The grass was still wet but the bright sun was making its way toward its high point. Over the next half hour or so, the race participants got to enjoy a nice run or walk on a 5K course that meandered through a beautiful section of Nottingham Park, but they also got to pay tribute to everyday heroes like Jerome Rodio, the late business owner who left a lasting legacy in Oxford through his kindness and friendship to many.

Organizers deemed the first Everyday Hero 5K Run and Walk a success before the sun could dry off the grass. How could it not be a success? Initially envisioned as a chance to honor Rodio, the Everyday Hero 5K quickly evolved into an event to honor all those people who work to make the community around them a better place through their

Some of the top finishers in the 5K run included Steve Kister from Allentown, Pa., Shawn Kister from Nottingham, and Bryant Wilson, from Oxford.

service.

Rodio certainly qualified as an everyday hero, and he was on the minds of many of the volunteers and participants who took part in the event. From the moment that he arrived in Oxford in 2008, Rodio was an ardent supporter of businesses in town, and loved being involved with the popular First

Friday events each month. His store was frequently filled with artists and craftspeople for the First Friday events. He also worked on behalf of a number of nonprofit organizations in the community.

Rodio joined the Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce and eventually became the board president. He was a beloved

figure in Oxford when he passed away in July of 2016.

The Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce helped organize the Everyday Heroes event with him in mind.

“This started because Jerome Rodio was such a huge pillar in the community,” explained Kim Jarvis, the vice president of the Oxford Area Chamber

of Commerce Board. “When we thought about how to honor him, he enjoyed running and he enjoyed being in the park. He would have liked this.”

Jarvis added that Rodio would have also liked the fact that the event was honoring everyday heroes who worked to make the community around them a better place.

“This is for all those who serve the community,” Jarvis said. “That’s how Jerome would have wanted it.”

When asked, Jarvis said that the hope is that there will be another event next year.

“We are hoping that it will turn out to be an annual event,” she said.

Rodio is being remembered several different ways in Oxford this month. Mayor Geoff Henry proclaimed the First Friday in August to be Jerome Rodio Day, and the community meal at the Oxford Presbyterian Church this Sunday, Aug. 27, will be in Rodio’s memory. The community meal takes place at 5:30 p.m.

Pa. students will spend less time taking standardized tests

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer

The state’s Department of Education announced a plan last week to reduce the amount of classroom time that students spend taking standardized tests.

The change to the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) exams will reduce by about 20 percent the amount of time that students in grades three through eight spend on the testing. On Aug. 15, assistant superintendent Dr. Margaret Billings-Jones, shared the news with the school board. The changes go into effect for the

2017-2018 school year.

The Pennsylvania Department of Education has removed two sections of the exams—one in math and one in English and Language Arts—and additional questions from the science section have also been removed. With those portions of the exams taken out, that could eliminate up to two full testing days for students, according to a press release that was issued at the time of the announcement.

The report by Billings-Jones was part of a relatively short agenda for the Oxford School Board.

With the start of a new school year quickly approaching, the school board approved a series of personnel changes, including new hires and resignations for professional and nonprofessional positions.

The school board finalized the renewal agreement with the Chester County Intermediate Unit for the services that are provided through the Brandywine Virtual Academy for the upcoming school year.

The school board approved the student handbooks for Oxford Area High School, Penn’s grove School, and the K-6 elementary schools for the

2017-2018 school year.

The district also established the admission prices for sports events for the upcoming school year. Student admission is $3 for a sports event, while adult admission is $5. A student season pass is $25, and the adult season pass is $35. A family season pass will be $60.

The school district’s parentteacher organization has issued a friendly challenge to the school board and the district administration to see which group can collect the most box tops for the Box Tops for Education Program.

The Box Tops for Education

program was started more than 20 years ago when General Mills offered money to support U.S. education based on the amount of box tops that were collected. Within a few years, more than 30,000 schools were participating in the program as it was an easy way to earn money to buy books, computers, playground equipment, or other school needs.

Through the years, many other companies joined the program, and now hundreds of products have the box tops. Schools across the U.S. have earned a total of $800

million by participating in the program. In Oxford, Christine Peabody, who has been the PTO president the last few years, has offered regular reminders that the community should be collecting the box tops to benefit Oxford schools.

The school board will meet again for a work session on Tuesday, Sept. 12 at 7 p.m. at the Administration Building.

A regular meeting of the school board will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 19 at 7 p.m. at the Administration Building.

Opinion Letter to the Editor

Editorial

The cake-eating resistance For an hour or so this past Saturday afternoon, a group of about 50 visitors to the Kennett Brewing Company devoured an entire sheetcake, slice by slice, that was baked and donated by Alondra’s Bakery. The cake was decorated with tiny American flags.

They were there as guests of Indivisible KSQ, a grass roots organization that was formed earlier this year by co-founder Laura Florence in an effort to “revitalize American democracy, empower progressive leaders, and elevate the political consciousness of our community,” Florence told this newspaper in April. The consumption of the sheetcake was inspired by the viral circulation of last week’s “Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update: Summer Edition,” which featured guest commentator Tina Fey power eating a sheetcake, in a fruitless effort to overcome the stress of witnessing what has become a blitzkrieg of bad moments in America. Between mouthfuls, Fey took on everyone, from our 45th President to the Alt-Right, from the white supremacists at Charlottesville to Paul Ryan. It was not a subtle evisceration, but to those who have found the last seven months to be a near-daily assault on the consciousness of our nation’s decency, Fey’s performance was brilliant. While its message spun through the safe boundaries of comedy, it also brazenly peeled back a layer of our country and revealed a seething and sensitive wound: That the consciousness of America can no longer hold under the weight of its own indecency.

We are a nation whose events have become a continuous, rolling loop -- a motion picture complete with narrative, characters and warts-and-all plotlines that seem written by screenwriters with a penchant for spectacle. Charlottesville was no movie, however. It spilled out on the streets and into our homes, and its images are a reminder that we have not yet learned our lesson from bigotry, turning the grainy film of Selma and the University of Mississippi and attack dogs and fire hoses into proof that we have learned nothing from our past.

Now, the target of white supremacy casts a wider sweep of hatred, to not only include AfricanAmericans but Jews, Muslims, homosexuals and immigrants. Their message capitalizes from the immediacy of the internet, and an overzealous media clamors to give them air time. On the heels of the President’s equivocations that place equal blame on both Neo-Nazis and their opponents, the cause of white supremacy seems to have been emboldened.

And yet, this time, their momentum is being met by a swarm of righteousness, a mainstream resistance movement the likes of which this country has never before seen. Holding small candles, thousands turned out for a candlelight vigil in Charlottesville soon after the riots. A ‘Free Speech’ rally scheduled by white supremacy groups this past weekend in Boston went bust, as 40,000 protestors took to the city’s streets. Similar events have been, or will be, scheduled in cities from coast to coast.

No one at the Kennett Brewing Company jabbed their forks into the sheetcake on Saturday afternoon.

Slices were cut, and eaten politely. Conversation was civil. What we as individuals -- and as a nation -- choose to do in response to this assault on our country will ultimately decide the course and future of hate groups. Our work should not be defined by its magnitude but by its efforts, and whether we march in unity -- as one voice -- or dig our forks into sheet cake -- we are forming the resistance, in numbers larger than ever.

A well-educated society benefits us all Letter to the Editor: Last week, as per usual, I read the Chester County Press and Uncle Irvin’s column.

I am not sure how to approach a response, as his frustration is warranted, but his facts are way off base. I am genuinely surprised that a person who has been writing op-ed columns as long as he has would be so incorrect in his assessment of school funding that he would go as low as to not-so-subtley accuse his local school board and superintendent of ulterior motives.

Here are some facts that all Pennsylvanians need to be aware of: According to a 2016 report from CFEF, Pennsylvania ranks 46th in the nation in state share of funding for K-12 schools, so local dis-

tricts have to make up the difference. That equals high property taxes as local taxpayers shoulder a heavy load.

That’s right, we’re near the bottom of the barrel as far as state contributions to public education, and like clockwork every year, our state legislature tries to cut even more.

Also, in 2011, the legislature and Governor Corbett eliminated the Charter School Reimbursement line item, which once provided school districts with a subsidy equal to approximately 30 percent of their annual charter/cyber charter school tuition bills. The legislature made local taxpayers responsible for paying 100 percent of all charter school tuition bills in a massive shift from the state onto the shoulders of local taxpayers. You can see why this also creates

contention between families, when I am responsible for paying 100 percent of their child’s tuition, but they are not bearing the same responsibility for my child.

I’d be hard pressed to find a charter school in this state that would accept my disabled child, and yet, Pennsylvania charter schools in 2015 collected over $100 million in special education funding that was not spent on special education, but was funneled to other endeavors (which by are large they do not have to report).

Lastly, I feel the need to address Uncle Irvin’s disdain for “school taxes and I don’t even get anything for it.” I am weary of senior citizens in this community grumbling about getting “nothing from our school taxes.” School taxes benefit everyone, well beyond the families that have

school age children. I want the pharmacy tech who is filling my prescription to be able to read and do math. I want our highway and safety engineers to build roads and buildings that are structurally safe and sound. I want our nurses, teachers, police officers and basically every other occupation on the planet....to have a good education.

Bottom line, our public schools are good, despite massive funding cuts in recent years and constantly being the whipping boy. It’s time we appreciate them, fund them appropriately and lay blame where it is deserved.

A well-educated society benefits us all.

Chester County Health Department brings together nurses and families to meet with Congressman Costello Two Chester County families and nurses and staff from the Chester County Health Department met with Congressman Ryan Costello recently to share stories, updates and benefits of the County’s Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) program.

NFP is a community health program that partners registered nurses with first-time vulnerable mothers early in pregnancy and continues until the child is two years old.

Since it began in Chester County 16 years ago, the NFP program has transformed the lives of over 1,000 vulnerable mothers who are pregnant with their first child.

“The NFP program doesn’t just benefit mothers and babies, it greatly impacts extended families and the whole community,” said Jeanne Casner, Director of the Chester County Health Department. “Both here in Chester County and nationally, NFP data shows that through the relationship with nurses, pre-term deliveries are reduced, more mothers are breastfeeding, and NFP children are more likely to be up-to-date on immunizations.”

Pat Yoder, MaternalChild Health Supervisor at the Chester County Health Department noted: “The short term positive health outcomes like breastfeeding and prevention of preterm births are great, but research has also shown that in the longer term, the NFP program improves the life choices and parenting skills of the mothers, and creates stronger social and emotional development and academic gains in the children.

“But as the name implies, NFP truly is a partnership between the nurse and the family, who work together from pregnancy through to the child’s second birthday

to develop the skills that will help the mother to continue to make a positive difference for the remainder of her son or daughter’s childhood,” Yoder said.

This week’s meeting with Congressman Costello is part of National NFP Site Visit Week and comes at a time when the federal Maternal, Infant, Early Childhood Home Visiting program is up for renewal, which provides valuable funding for NPF programs.

Representative Ryan Costello said, “Nurses partnering with young moms through the Nurse-Family Partnership program has proven to be very effec-

tive in improving health outcomes for newborn babies. In Congress, efforts to provide for resources for this program, including through the Maternal Infant Early Childhood Home Visits program, are fundamental to the success and longevity of assisting and supporting young families during these critical stages of development.

“I appreciated hearing from several new moms on how much of a positive impact it has been for them, and from several NFP nurses and administrators on how their evidence-based approach is constantly improving the program.”

In addition, citizens are invited to participate in a moment of silence on August 31 at 9:30 a.m. to remember those lost to overdose and the loved ones left behind.

“Sadly, we lost nearly 100

lives to accidental drug overdose in Chester County in 2016, and we are on track to exceed that number in 2017,” said Vince Brown, Executive Director of the Chester County Department of Drug and Alcohol Services.

“Our community, as well as our country, faces an opioid and heroin epidemic and the disease of addiction knows no bounds,” he added. “Addiction does not discriminate against age, race, socioeconomic status or education level.”

Several Chester County organizations will be holding events on Aug. 31 in honor of “International Overdose Awareness Day.” Events include: International Overdose Awareness Day Vigil will be hosted by community members at New Garden Township Hall, 299 Starr Road, Landenberg from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. This ser-

Members Show offers some surprises at Oxford Arts Alliance

By John Chambless Staff Writer The Oxford Arts Alliance’s annual Members Show is a chance for artists who are just getting started to show their works with established artists from across the region.

For the visitor, the show has some nice surprises and new discoveries to savor.

Among the established artists, Vicki Vinton’s “Riding High” is a joyous mixed-media painting that bristles with energy. Vitaly Semenchenko has three lovely, small paintings – “Baby Chubby” is a charming ink painting of a bunny, and “Evening at Sandy Cove” is a twilight oil of a dock, two tiny figures and the last light of day reflecting on the water, all in a 5-by-7 frame.

But the most immediately arresting work is “You Don’t Want to Play,” a wonderfully detailed acrylic of a child with a snowball whose expression is riveting – both tender and hopeful – and splendidly rendered.

Charles Logue’s walnut carving, “Time Out,” is a satisfying shape that seems

to emerge from its base, and Nancy Swope’s “Rooster Inn” puts a new painting on a very old sign board to striking effect.

Elsewhere, “High Tide at the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge” is a nice city scene by Elizabeth Heller, and “Field of Flowers” by Jennifer Lex Wojnar is a fun, cartoonish valley full of round flowers.

Sally Wilson’s vineyard view, “Harvest Season,” is a symphony of plum colors, and Marjorie Gavitt’s mixed-media “Dia de Los Muertos” has a charming pop stylization. Ed Rahme certainly grabs attention with his mixed-media selfportrait, which is a grouping of cut-out, manipulated photos of a skull with glasses – more of a psychological portrait, perhaps, but in any case, it’s a show-stopper.

Anita Bower’s photos of a timeworn tavern interior and a country store have a warm, burnished tone and an impressive amount of detail.

Mary Johnson’s black-andwhite landscape photo, “New London,” is an expanse of moody clouds over a white

farmhouse and shed that jump out as the focus of the composition.

Cindy Mehr’s two paintings, “Twister” and “Pot of Gold,” are intriguing collections of text, architecture and other bits that lead your eye around and around, examining the interplay of shapes and textures.

There’s jewelry as well – particularly necklaces and bracelets by Cheryl Gross that incorporate recycled ear buds and zippers. Kathleen Logue shows two painted ceramic pieces that have elegant decoration and a flawless glaze.

The show, which continues through Sept. 8, is well worth a visit, with some standout works by artists you may not have seen before.

The Oxford Arts Alliance (38 S. Third St., Oxford) is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visit www.oxfordart. org.

Flying Field hosts 46th annual air show

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer The 46th annual New Garden Festival of Flight and Car Show took to the air this past weekend, dotting the blue sky above Toughkenamon with vintage aircraft, parachute daredevils and skywriters who decorated the air with white plumes of expression.

Meanwhile, on the ground, long rows of antique motor vehicles, ranging from a 1954 MG to a World War II-era Jeep, glistened in the sun, drawing the attention of hundreds of admirers each day.

On the other side of the festival grounds, a dozen classic aircraft were displayed, including a Corsair Navy fighter plane, the Spirit of Freedom C54 aircraft, the B-25 from the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum, and a Pitts biplane.

The show featured demonstrations by Skydive Cross Keys, a Williamstown, N.J., skydiving school; an aerobatic demonstration by driver Dan Marcotte; a performance by the Fighter Factory of Virginia Beach; a search-and-rescue demonstration by the U.S. Coast Guard with its MH-65 Dolphin Rescue helicopter; and performances by pilots Jason Flood, Kevin Russo, Paul Dougherty and Scott Francis.

The event also sponsored its second Festival of Flight Run the Runway 5K race, Kiddie Run and one-mile Family Walk.

The proceeds from the race benefitted youth recreation programs in New Garden Township and Kennett Square.

EDWARD M. JORDAN, SR.

WILLIAM D. KEETH, JR.

Catherine “Pat” G. Edwards, 86, of West Grove, passed away peacefully on Aug. 4 at Jenner’s Pond.

She was the devoted wife of Samuel T. L. Edwards, who predeceased her in 2016. They shared 66 years of loving marriage. Born in Philadelphia, she was a daughter of the late Richard and the late Ethel McCormick Gilbert. Pat began her long life in Drexel Hill, where she honed her skills and passions as a cook, gardener and athlete. These and her love of family defined who she was to all who knew her throughout her life. Pat worked at a YMCA camp in Medford Lakes, where she met and married Sam. She attended the University of Delaware, where she excelled in field hockey and synchronized swimming.

She continued to play field hockey on the Pre-Olympic USA team as well as club teams. She turned her hockey stick in for a referee whistle and was the head referee for many high school games.

Pat and Sam moved to the family farm in Concordville, where they built the biggest sheep farm east of the Mississippi River. Love of family continued to drive much of what she did. She worked tirelessly for her church and organized many church dinners. She loved antiques and crafting, and wove those activities into her life as often as possible.

Pat and Sam moved to West Grove, where she continued to serve as a role model for all who knew her. The love for gardening, cooking, and crafting were passed on to children and grandchildren.

Pat and Sam attended the sports activities for children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, never missing an opportunity to spend time with family.

Pat is survived by her three children, Catherine A. Bailey (Ken) of Lincoln University, Samuel B. Edwards (Leslie) of Landenberg, and Richard W. Edwards (Debra) of Chadds Ford; her sister, Margaret Chadwick of Drexel Hill; her seven grandchildren; and her 13 greatgrandchildren.

and yellow school buses.

The Pennsylvania School Bus Association is asking motorists to please pay extra attention as school buses ride their daily routes.

“Allow children to be safe by ensuring you, as

a Pennsylvania motorist, stop for school buses boarding children. Failing to do so jeopardizes much more than just your privilege to drive in the Commonwealth,” said Fred Bennett, PSBA President

and owner of Fishing Creek Transportation.

Mike Berk, PSBA Executive Director added, “School buses continue to be the safest mode of transporting students to and from school. PSBA salutes the

over 45,000 licensed school bus drivers and their operators in our state for their commitment and dedication to our children. We wish everyone a safe and successful school year.”

The Pennsylvania School

Bus Association was founded in 1980 and consists of over 300 school bus contractors and industry partners who have come together to be a strong voice for school bus safety and the school bus contracting industry.
