Pa. grand jury report: ‘I pray to God that there will be action taken’

St. Patrick Church: Pastor and congregation galvanize against the storm

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer

On Aug. 23 at about 11:30 2018 Mushroom Festival a.m., Rose Hearn and Barbara & Visitors Guide Abate, members of the St. Patrick Roman Catholic Church in Kennett Square, met to talk outside the large, gray parish hall on Meredith Street.

It was a gorgeous morning, a rare occasion in a summer of mostly rain, and their discussion was interwoven with the business of a small town – pedestrians walking dogs, and delivery trucks that drove by.

to be everywhere at once as the buses arrived just after 8:30 a.m. “Good morning!

Happy new year!” she said again and again as children climbed down the bus steps and made their way into the building. There were nervous glances, broad grins and high-fives from the children, who ranged from wide-eyed kindergarteners to laid-back fifth graders who already knew the

routine.

Bob Cochran of the U-CF School District was on hand to monitor the arrival of the buses on the first day, making sure there were no problems. The bus drivers smiled and said the biggest delays were caused by parents who all needed one last chance to take a photo of their students heading off to school.

Oxford School Board member resigns

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer With the start of a new school year at hand, the Oxford School Board handled a full agenda at its meeting on Aug. 21.

The school board formally accepted the resignation of board member David Severino, who was elected in 2017 to serve a fouryear term in the district’s Region 1.

Now that the resignation has been accepted, the school board has 30 days to name a replacement. The first step to fill the vacancy is to seek applications.

Anyone interested in filling the vacancy in Region 1—which includes Upper Oxford, Lower Oxford East, and Oxford Borough East— should apply to fill the vacancy. The school board will interview the candidates and select the replacement for Severino.

In her report to the school board, the district’s assistant superintendent Dr. Margaret Billings-Jones talked about the new teacher induction that took place on Aug. 20. She said that the new teachers’ introduction to the school district went very well. The group of new teachers has a wide range of professional experiences, Billings-Jones said.

“We are very fortunate to have such a strong group joining us,” she explained.

The assistant superintendent also talked about an upcoming early fall picnic that is being planned for Sept. 25 for 7th and 8th graders and their parents so that they can learn about the district’s career pathways program.

Also at the meeting, Billings-Jones was appointed by superintendent David Continued on Page 3A

By Uncle Irvin For a guy who has lived and voted in Chester County for almost 50 years, it was hard to believe expert predictions that the Sixth Congressional District that encompasses Chester County is highly favored to go Democrat in November.

Some of these experts even suggest that the district is a shoo-in for Democrat Chrissy Houlahan, and that the GOP has already conceded the district, making fundraising for the GOP candidate difficult, if not impossible.

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer Camp Dreamcatcher begins with the children and the staff, the counselors, and the volunteers all gathered together in a tight circle—a continuous, unbroken chain that signifies that, here, everyone is a part of the whole. The camp ends the same way seven days later. Each summer for the last 23 years, new children have been stepping into the circle and making it bigger—and better—because they are now a part of it.

When a child steps into the circle for the first time, he or she is surrounded by strangers. But those strangers soon turn into friends, and those friends turn into family.

the classrooms, and the parents stayed in class and we took all the children into the auditorium for an awesome assembly. I’m getting very positive feedback about that.�

Lafferty has been principal at Unionville for three years, but has plenty of classroom experience from her 13 years as a teacher in the district. Her own son is 3, so the farewell at the school door has yet to happen to her personally, she said. “But he starts preschool next week, so I’m sure there will be

some tears about that.�

For parents, the tears sometimes come when it’s the first child they’re dropping off for kindergarten, and when it’s the last child, Lafferty said. “A lot of fifth grade parents get emotional, too, because it’s the last year of elementary school,� she added.

Lafferty remembers her own first day of school rituals. “Oh my goodness, I remember mom always taking my picture out in the front yard. Embarrassing,� she said, smiling. “School shopping, too.�

To ease the transition for parents who may be

sniffling after their child waves and goes to class, there is a “Boo-Hoo/Yahoo Breakfast� sponsored by the PTO, where parents meet, have some refreshments and console each other. Or celebrate.

The snacks were also good for younger siblings who weren’t old enough for the school-day excitement yet.

Lafferty checked in, saying, “Anyone happy? Sad? Mixed? We just thought this was a nice opportunity to chat, and know that whatever feeling you’re having is fine. Some of you may be happy, some of youy might be sad. That’s OK. We’ve

got some party horns, and we have some chocolates to melt away your sorrows.�

With smiles taking over for stoic expressions, the mood in the room lightened after a few minutes as the parents realized that the new milestone had been successfully crossed, and their child was somewhere in the building, getting a bright introduction to classmates and a new teacher.

And everyone was going to be OK. To contact Staff Writer John Chambless, email jchambless@chestercounty. com.

threatens the future of this institution statewide, nationally and around the world.

And yet, as Hearn and Abate spoke, the tenor of their voices resonated with timid hope and solemn bravery. It is through power of their faith, they said, that answers may begin to reveal themselves.

They were referring to the 1,356-page Pennsylvania 40th Statewide Grand Jury report, issued Aug. 14, that documented that for more than 70 years, bishops and other leaders of the Roman Catholic Church in Pennsylvania covered up child sexual abuse by more than 300 priests of at least 1,000 child victims, while persuading victims not to report the abuse and convincing law enforcement to avoid investigations of these crimes.

The stories in the report document the horrors of what has happened in six of the state’s eight Catholic dioceses since 1940: rapes, tortures and other incidents so heinous as to appear unfathomable to those who have read the report.

“It’s horrible, tragic, sad and it is also hurtful,” Rev. Christopher B. Rogers, the pastor at St. Patrick, said of the report. “Someone asked me if I was angry, and I said that of course I was angry, but in reading this report, it is more a feeling of being sick to my stomach.”

The report is the third such document of research that the state’s grand jury has issued.

The first was issued in 2005 and the second came in 2011.

They join a nearly 20-year legacy of accusations that began in 2002, when The Boston Globe published the results of an investigation that eventually led to the criminal investigations of five Roman Catholic priests. These reports have joined similar accusations coming from other parts of the world in cracking the lid wide open on what has become a global crisis.

To Rogers, the latest report is an echo of both reprehension and futility, telling a decades-long tale of abuse, lies, deceit, cover-ups and settlements. He’s not alone in trying to come to grips with it.

Catholic leaders all over the world have condemned the latest actions, in their pews and pulpits and in scathing letters.

“Some people, credible people, have challenged [the report’s] processes and disputed elements of its content,” wrote Philadelphia Archbishop Charles J. Chaput in his weekly column. “But the substance of the report is brutally graphic and profoundly disturbing as a chronicle of evil inflicted on hundreds of innocents.”

As he began to see St. Patrick parishioners file into mass on Aug. 18, just four days after the grand jury report was released, Rogers knew that the atrocities they had just read about were on everyone’s mind.

“They were certainly on mine, and I began to wonder how I would possibly speak to it,” he said. “There has been a tremendous loss here, a tremendous wound, and just as in any family, these things need to be acknowledged and grieved and mourned.”

In his sermon, Rogers said that “the gates of Hell would not prevail against God's church, no matter what. He promised to be with us to the end of the age. He promised to write straight with crooked lines. For God so loved the world, and so deeply knew his people, that he gave us the church.”

During the Aug. 18 mass, Rogers invited the congrega-

tion to a holy hour of prayer at the church on Aug. 21.

That following Tuesday evening, two-thirds of the church was filled, as more than 150 people attended the service. Together, they meditated. They were splashed with the holy water of baptism. They followed readings from John 11, awhen Jesus healed Lazarus [“Master, the one you love is ill”]; John 2, when Jesus drove the money changers from Jerusalem [“Take these out of here, and stop making my Father’s house a marketplace”]; and Mark 2, when Jesus healed a paralytic [“I say to you, rise, pick up your mat, and go home.”]

The church has placed two crosses, draped with purple cloths, directly outside the church, acknowledging the victims of sexual abuse by Catholic clergy, as stated in the grand jury report. During the Aug. 21 service, one of the crosses was moved into the church and positioned near the altar, and Rogers invited each parishioner to come to the cross and empty their emotions in front of it.

“As a pastor of this family, I felt their strong need to do something as a family,” Rogers said. “Whenever there is a tragedy, especially nowadays, there is often a huge amount of money donated to the cause. People wait outside lines at a funeral home just for a moment to express a moment of condolence to a family that they love. As a church family, I thought, ‘We are going to gather here. We are going to pray.’”

‘The truth is there’ Hearn and Abate both attended the service.

“As a parish, we are very strong because the truth is there, and having Pastor Rogers address our grieving from a spiritual standpoint was the thing we needed,” Abate said. “It helped give us purpose and focus for what we need to do in the future on this issue.”

“Pastor Rogers knew who we needed to go to,” Hearn said. “He knew that we needed to bring this to God. Tuesday night for me was important, because we need to unite in prayer, first, and then act from that. Sometimes protests happen, but we want to be sure that we are protesting prayerfully, with God’s blessing. In that, we will make a difference.”

The grand jury’s 2018 report comes at a time when the sting of these reports has finally begun to affect the highest stations of the church.

In July, the resignation letter of Cardinal Theodore E. McCarrick, the former archbishop of Washington, D.C., who was accused in the sexual abuse of young priests, seminarians and minors for many years, was accepted in July by Pope Francis.

Board announced that Rev. Andrew D. McCormick of Sacred Heart Parish in Swedesburg (Montgomery County), who was arrested in July 2012 for the alleged sexual abuse of a minor, was ruled “not suitable” for ministry.

The first call to action by the Catholic church to address the wave of sexual abuse of minors by Catholic clergy came in June 2002, when The Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People – also called The Dallas Charter – was established. Revised in 2005, 2011 and in 2018, the charter provides guidelines for reconciliation, healing, accountability and prevention of future acts of abuse.

The charter lays the groundwork for creating a safe environment for children and young people; healing and reconciliation of victims and survivors; making prompt and effective response to allegations; cooperating with civil authorities; disciplining offenders; and providing for means of accountability for the future to ensure the problem continues to be effectively dealt with through the Secretariat of Child and Youth Protection and the National Review Board.

Critics of the Catholic church’s means of handling this growing scourge, however, claim that the charter is a lip service, knee-jerk reaction to a growing perception that Catholic lawmakers have conspired to sweep the scourge under the rug, deny that the problem is as widespread as has been reported, and criticize the media for what they believe is an anti-Catholic campaign.

The widening gap between fact and fiction among these leaders has reached the highest level of the church itself.

Pope Francis, on a papal visit to Dublin last weekend, was roundly criticized – in massive protest and commentary – for not using his office and influence to help safeguard children around the world.

Hope in numbers While Rogers said that the fault of allowing this scandal to multiply rests with the church’s hierarchy, he said that there is hope in numbers.

“There are now only 14 bishops who were active bishops in 2002 [when the charter was first released],” he said.

“That’s the old guard. Since 2002, every priest has lived under the law and we will continue to do so. Statistically

speaking, that’s made a big difference, but unfortunately, the Dallas Charter was not enough. Why? Because it exempted the bishops from that norm. It’s recognized that it now needs to change, and the people who will change that are the 90 percent of the bishops who know how to do it.

“It’s the younger bishops who will make the difference,” he added. “They’re sickened to their stomachs, and they know that reform needs to happen. We’re going to see it. We’re going to have to see it.”

However the recent findings of the grand jury are examined and interpreted, they are testing the patience and faith of the church’s parishioners.

Advocates, church officials and clerics are calling for wish lists of ideas to solve the problem, including a demand that each church diocese publish the names of abusive priests, while others have called for zero-tolerance policies.

Some people are experiencing a severe crisis of faith.

Some are leaving.

“During an individual’s life, there is a reason for a crisis of faith, and nine times out of ten, it’s trust that has been broken, and love and respect has been wounded,” Rogers said. “We have to make distinctions between our faith and the report. The body of Christ is is not well within the Catholic church. What are those parts and why are they not well, and why is this happening?

“We are having a crisis of faith, but the crisis is not in faith itself, but in the lack of the practice of it,” he added.

“It is evident that priests and even any man who is worth his salt does not do what has

The 2019 municipal elections could be a watershed event, with the Democrats taking the majority of County Commissioner seats and replacing the GOP as the majority party.

[been written about in the grand jury report], but this has been done, repeatedly. Part of the crisis is not only calling it forth, but identifying the ‘Why.’ Is there anything the structure that has fed that?

The answer is, ‘Yes.’ That’s where the reform is needed.”

Juxtaposed against the backdrop of worldwide concern, all five of the Sunday masses at St. Patrick on Aug. 19 were full. It’s an encouraging sign, Rogers said, that the faith of the parishioners has not dwindled in the wake of the grand jury report, but held steadfast in prayer.

But is prayer alone enough?

“Prayer alone is not faith,” Rogers said. “St. Paul says that faith is love and action.

As a pastor in this community and priest of the Catholic church, I tell the people of the congregation who want something to do that prayer is part of it, but it has to lead to action. Prayer is lousy if it’s not leading to action.

The church will be stronger if their members are living in the charity of their faith.

“As we see how far [this scandal] has gotten in its darkness, in its total disregard for human life, I pray to God that there will be action taken.”

Abate said that although the findings of the latest grand jury report have been difficult to endure, she leans toward her faith in order to heal,

and love. All the campers at Camp Dreamcatcher are HIV-positive themselves or have close family members who are battling the ailment.

This year, from Aug. 19 to 25, Camp Dreamcatcher welcomed 124 children between the ages of 5 and 17 and another 16 youngsters who advanced to serve as camp counselors at Camp Saginaw in Oxford. About 70 percent of the children come from Philadelphia and the surrounding counties, while other campers come from the surrounding states.

The children who attend the camp say that it offers a safe, supportive environment where they can share their concerns and fears with people who understand what they are going through.

“Camp, to me, is like coming together with your family,” explained Imani, one of the participants in the leaders-in-training program for teens. Imani and the other leaders-in-training members help work with the younger campers to make them feel comfortable as they adjust to the camp.

Kenneth also said that the camp makes the children feel very much at home as they get to spend time with their friends.

“You share activities, listen to music together, play dodge ball or basketball,” he explained.

Eden, another one of the leaders-in-training members, said that she feels like camp is a place where she can be herself.

Julian said, “The people in

your cabin get to know you for who you really are. It’s a safe place. We’re free to get things off our chest, to relieve stress.”

“It’s almost like a giant bubble where you feel safe,” Karim added.

That’s precisely what Hillkirk had in mind when she first envisioned what Camp Dreamcatcher could be in the mid-1990s. Her work in the HIV/AIDS community goes back to 1986, when she was a volunteer with the Red Cross and then a therapist with adults living with HIV/AIDS. She was inspired to start her own camp for children and teens infected by and coping with HIV/AIDS after watching a “60 Minutes” segment about just such a camp for children in New York state.

Hillkirk wanted to create a therapeutic and loving community to embrace children who had been impacted by the disease.

She had trained with Mariah Fenton Gladis, the founder of the Pennsylvania Gestalt Center, for three years.

When Hillkirk told Gladis about her vision for a camp, she was very supportive— and the mentor encouraged Hillkirk to pursue the dream.

“She trained me,” Hillkirk said, “and Camp Dreamcatcher is really based on what she taught us.”

In fact, the tradition of beginning and ending camp in a circle was inspired by Gladis.

Sadly, the circle at the beginning of this year’s camp was missing two important people. Charlotte Bartlett, who was, like Gladis, instrumental in encouraging Hillkirk to create Camp

Dreamcatcher more than 20 years ago, recently passed away. The camp now has a mindfulness center in the therapy room, which is called “Charlotte’s Circle” in memory of Bartlett—it’s a way to capture her spirit.

Similarly, there is now a space in the therapy room that is called “Mariah’s Corner” in memory of Gladis. Gladis was the longest living survivor of ALS, and she courageously battled the disease ever since she was diagnosed in 1981, inspiring many others around her.

Hillkirk referred to Gladis as “a touchstone, friend, mentor, and colleague.”

It is fitting that both Bartlett and Gladis will be remembered at Camp Dreamcatcher where, once you’re part of the extended family, you remain in that circle.

Hillkirk explained that songwriter John Flynn, a longtime supporter of the camp, wrote a song inspired by the children at Camp Dreamcatcher called “The Web and the Feather.”

That song includes a lyric, “Many a child looked up and smiled here in the circle of love,” that perfectly captures Mariah’s spirit.

The spirit of Gladis and Bartlett will certainly live on through Camp Dreamcatcher’s work of helping youngsters.

The children who attend Camp Dreamcatcher face many challenges today, from more routine situations like breaking up with a boyfriend or girlfriend or having a difficult time in school to dealing with significant health issues—their

own or those of a family member. They often must contend with community violence or poverty. At camp, the children talk about dealing with HIV and AIDS with the counselors and the staff, but they are also able to share details about many other issues that affect their daily lives.

The Camp Dreamcatcher team presents a variety of therapeutic and counseling sessions throughout the week that focus on realworld issues that many of the youngsters are facing: bullying, community violence, the need for proper nutrition and health, and the importance of making good life choices.

More than 230 volunteers, including medical personnel, professionals and community members are on hand to make sure that the children receive the guidance that they need.

Bullying is a topic that often comes up, especially now that younger and younger children have access to social media.

“We talk about bullying a

lot,” Hillkirk explained. “We also talk about accountability, and about how, if you hurt someone, you have to feel sorry and be accountable.”

The children can often feel isolated, especially if they are unable to talk about HIV with their family members or friends.

“We hear that from a lot of the kids—they will say that, ‘In my family, I can’t talk about it.’ HIV is still a secret for them,” Hillkirk said.

They challenge the children, especially the teens, to try to be open and honest about the impact that HIV or AIDS has had on their lives—and to turn it into something positive.

Dealing with health fears is something else that many of the campers are facing.

There have been numerous advances in HIV and AIDS treatments since the mid1990s, but it is still a difficult medical issue to cope with, especially for youngsters.

Many of the children have lost family members or friends, and they need help dealing with their grief.

A wish log ceremony is

one of the most emotional parts of the week at Camp Dreamcatcher.

Children share their thoughts, feelings, and concerns during this time. They can dedicate their wishes to a loved one who is suffering, or wish for better health for themselves.

This year’s wish log ceremony included a special bundle that was created in memory of Gladis, as well as a bundle that was created in memory of Brealey, a beloved therapeutic dog who passed away in April. Having others around to share their feelings with, and to share their fears with, is invaluable for the youngsters. It can be very therapeutic to get the feelings and fears out into the open.

The impact of the camp is undeniable. While Camp Dreamcatcher started out as a one-week summer camp, the services have been expanded through the years to better meet the needs of the children. Programs include an educational camp session, weekend retreats, camper reunion events, a mentoring program, a holiday Adopt-aFamily program and a Teen Speaker’s Bureau. Hillkirk hears all the time about how important the various programs are to the children.

That’s why she has devoted her professional working life to this camp.

As Miracle, one of the leaders-in-training members explained, “Camp means the world to me. It’s a safe place where I can express myself.”

Miracle has been coming to camp for the last five years. said that her favorite part of camp is working with the younger kids. Passing Continued on Page 6A

along knowledge and supporting others are invaluable aspects of camp—as the children age, they take on leadership roles and become mentors to the younger kids, in the same way that older kids were once mentors to them.

Miguel Correa was one of the first children to take part in Camp Dreamcatcher back in the mid-1990s, and he has been coming to camp ever since. He graduated to being a camp counselor, and is now a village chief at the camp, helping all the other campers get acclimated so that they can get the most out of the experience.

It is not uncommon for the campers to forge strong friendships and return year after year so that they can spend time with their friends.

For teens like Idah, the favorite part about Camp Dreamcatcher is the summer fun aspect of it—the swimming, the games, the visits with friends. She has been coming to the camp for the last six years.

Others enjoy the summer activities, but they also look forward to being able to talk with others about issues that they are facing—while also knowing that they won’t be judged.

“This is a special place to be yourself,” said Leah, one of the members of the leaders-in-training program.

She has been coming to camp for the last 10 years, and always looks forward to being with her friends in the cabin. Get more than

140 children together in one camp, and there’s bound to be plenty of excitement.

“At Camp Dreamcatcher,” Leah explained, “you expect the unexpected. You never know what is going to happen.”

Expecting the unexpected is certainly something that Hillkirk has grown accustomed to through the years.

Often, the unexpected can be something good.

Sometimes, it’s not.

Case in point: Just days before this year’s camp got underway, there was an unexpected setback: a garage in Kennett Square where supplies for the camp week were boxed up and organized for the kids was flooded with more than three feet of water when a sewage grate got blocked with debris during a storm with heavy rains.

The supplies included blankets, pillows, rain gear, flashlights, batteries, crafts—all things that were badly needed for the camp week.

Hillkirk estimated that about $9,000 worth of supplies were ruined in the flood.

The true impact wasn’t felt until the kids started arriving at camp and didn’t have the supplies that had been lined up for them.

After 23 years, the good work of Camp Dreamcatcher is known and understood by a lot of people in the local community, so when a special need arises there are people willing to help.

“I posted about losing the supplies on Facebook and people just started responding,” Hillkirk said, explaining that one friend

Random acts of kindness are rampant at Camp Dreamcatcher

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer Camp Dreamcatcher’s organizers plan a wide variety of programs and activies that offer therapeutic or educational benefits for youngsters—everything from equine-assisted mindfulness programs to massage therapy to yoga to music therapy.

While these therapeutic programs at Camp Dreamcatcher are vital, sometimes what it takes to make a child smile is a simple act of kindness.

At this year’s camp,

about 15 students who are in the leadership-in-training program adopted new identities as Secret Agents of Kindness—and then they set out to make a child smile by doing something nice.

Secret Agent Renaissance, for example, would clean up the tables at lunch for youngsters. Secret Agent Avocado set out water and napkins before lunch, and she wrote some nice notes to some of the children.

Secret Agent Boom Boom said that it was her goal to compliment others.

“If I see someone who is looking sad, I talk to them and say something nice,”

from Philadelphia drove in with 20 blankets for the youngsters. Another person volunteered to wash and dry some of the clothing that had been damaged in the flood.

Overall, Hillkirk said, donations totaling about $4,000 and some new supplies were dropped within a few days, at least partially offsetting the damage that had been done. Resilience in the face of challenges like this can also serve as a lesson for the youngsters at Camp Dreamcatcher.

In Camp Dreamcatcher’s 23-year saga so far, for each time a heavy rainstorm that has dampened spirits, there has certainly been a long stretch of sunny, summer days to bolster everyone’s fortitude.

One example from this year’s camp is Dorrie’s Camp Store, a new addition in 2018. Within the last year, a woman in Connecticut who runs a thrift shop just started sending Camp Dreamcatcher box after box of great items for children— games, books, toys, school supplies, clothing. The woman even reached out to Hillkirk to see what specific sizes of clothing were needed for the children. When Hillkirk realized how many items the woman was sending, Camp Dreamcatcher set up a program where the children can earn tickets during camp that they can then spend at what is being called Dorrie’s Camp Store.

Camp Dreamcatcher has been the recipient of many such wonderful acts of kind-

Throughout the camp week, these random acts of kindness lifted spirits and illustrated the importance of

ness through the years.

The personal relationships that have formed are what is most special. A camp session never passes, Hillkirk explained, when a person who previously volunteered at the camp comes back 5, 10, or even 15 years later and they meet up with all their old friends. Some of

the campers might take a year or two off, but then they return because of the tug of friendship and love at Camp Dreamcatcher. It goes on and on, one big, growing circle of love.

Chester County Press

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Opinion Editorial

Faith, outrage and a statute of limitations It has been two weeks since the Pennsylvania Grand Jury delivered a report that documented the stories of at least 1,000 survivors of sexual abuse by more than 300 priests in six Catholic dioceses in Pennsylvania.

It is an open book now, a widely circulated document, and the stories contained within, for those with the courage to read them, have ripped through their consciences like a tsunami of disgust, and in the wake of its aftermath, left nearly unimaginable images to burn in their brains.

The report identified abuses in six of the state’s eight Catholic dioceses in our state that have taken place since the 1940s: A priest who abused a young girl in a hospital after she had her tonsils removed. A victim who was tied up and whipped with leather straps. A priest who impregnated a young girl and later arranged for her abortion.

This report is merely the latest documentation in a long line of of sexual abuse that has been fully docu-

mented and left the Catholic Church on trial for the last 20-plus years, a sloppy mess of billion-dollar settlements, a seemingly never-ending allegation chain of cover-ups, and resignation letters from priests placed on bishops’ desks that miraculously turn into transfer assignments.

The incidents contained in the report are disgusting enough on their own, but their narrative has been made even more unspeakable by the brazen denial of church leaders to acknowledge that these incidents ever happened, behind a veil of robes and dogma and silence.

“Despite some institutional reform, individual leaders of the church have largely escaped public accountability,” the report read. “Priests were raping little boys and girls, and men of God who were responsible for them not only did nothing, they hid it all. For decades.”

All across Pennsylvania, the state’s Catholic priests called for prayers for the victims of this abuse, and at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Kennett Square, a holy hour of service was held last week, that drew

150 parishioners to the church.

While we do not deny the absolute power of prayer, nor the unbreakable strength of faith, now is not the time for prayers.

Now is the time to take these “men of God” named in the report, prosecute them and put them in jail for the remainder of their lives. Now is the time for the Pennsylvania lawmakers to eliminate current state laws that have established criminal statute of limitations.

Currently, state law allows child victims of sexual abuse to pursue charges against their abusers until they reach 50, which does little for those victims who were abused by priests decades ago, especially those who were named in the report.

There is a bill in Harrisburg, however, that offers hope for victims whose window to sue has already passed, an act that will wipe away the time limit for prosecutions. Senate Bill 261 was approved by the State Senate on Feb. 1, 2017, and is currently on the House floor in Harrisburg.

“With the timeliness of this report and its findings, the statute of limitations bill passed by

the Senate is primed for discussion in the House,” Rep. David Reed and House Majority Leader, wrote on his website.

“While there are discussions about various amendments to the bill, ultimately, it will be up to the 203 members of the House to decide what will be approved and sent back to the Senate.

“The crimes reported by the grand jury are horrendous, and the cover-up even worse,” Reed wrote. “The days of protecting abusers must end. It is time for all of us as policymakers, but more importantly, as humans, to stand up against the betrayals of the most vulnerable among us.”

There is not a person reading this editorial who has not been affected by the news that came from the state’s grand jury two weeks ago. Yet for those of the Catholic faith, the impact of these stories has ripped another type of hole in their consciences, because these stories have all taken place -- to use a religious analogy – in their own houses, perpetuated by men who have been given the responsibilities to lead their congregations, which include children.

How this hole will be repaired rests entirely with the individual whose personal faith has been tested by this report.

While many of this faith will determine that that the only way their wound will be healed will be to leave the church, those who choose to remain, we suggest, have a larger responsibility now. They need to turn their private grief into a public one. They need to express their anger, their frustration, and they need to create positive change.

Expand, don’t restrict, voters’ access to the polls

By Lee H. Hamilton There are times when I’m convinced the progress of this country can be measured through our ballot laws.

Think about it. Over the course of our history, we’ve expanded the franchise from the sole preserve of white male property owners to most all citizens 18 and older — regardless of race, gender, or wealth.

Yet despite this steady march, we remain embroiled in debate over who gets to vote. Mostly this is carried on in the states, with Republicans often favoring limits on access to the polls, and Democrats usually hoping to expand access.

The chief argument for moves to restrict access focuses on ballot integrity: protecting against fraud. We know that fraud happens: a voter showing up at the polls pretending to be someone else, or non-citizens trying to vote. But this is rare. After looking over 1800 files collected by President Trump’s now-defunct Voter Integrity Commission, Maine’s secretary of state wrote, “the Commission documents made available to me…do

not contain evidence of widespread voter fraud. Indeed… the sections on evidence of voter fraud are glaringly empty.”

More pointedly, a few years ago Judge Richard Posner, a widely respected Republican appointee to a federal appeals court, raised eyebrows when he declared that he’d been wrong in 2007 when he’d voted to uphold an Indiana law strengthening voter ID requirements. That law, he wrote, is of a type “now widely regarded as a means of voter suppression rather than of fraud prevention.”

Of course, you don’t need voter ID laws to make it harder to vote. You can cut the hours when the polls are open. You can reduce the number of voting places. You can cut funding for efforts to encourage voting or help voters get to the polls. You can make voting itself difficult — by limiting the number of booths, for example, so that long lines form. You can excessively purge the voter rolls. Creative minds have come up with all kinds of devices to make it more difficult to vote.

I don’t mean to dismiss the idea that we need to protect

the integrity of the ballot and ensure that people who vote are entitled to do so. We do.

But I believe representative democracy is strengthened by expanded voting through public marketing campaigns, registration drives and even automatic registration when you get a driver’s license, through longer hours, early voting or voting by mail.

Voting is our most basic right as a citizen. It’s how we make ourselves heard and felt. Our elected representatives respond to what voters consider the most important issues and how to decide them. Our whole political system depends on it, and erodes if voting turnout falls.

So the impact of voting

is huge. The results that flow from voting in a representative democracy can determine the availability of guns, which health-care proposals move forward, the quality of governance you have, the economic policies that shape your life.

Ask yourself why it is that the federal government spends a lot more money on programs for older people than for young people. Is it because older people are simply more deserving of public spending? Of course not.

The reason is that politicians know older people vote at far higher rates than younger people do. The laws reflect members of Congress’ sensitivity to that simple fact.

As a politician, I kept track of the reasons people gave me for not voting.

Often it was just plain apathy, inconvenience, or a sense of powerlessness.

Transportation could be bad.

Older people were intimidated by the hoopla that surrounds the voting place, what with politicians out there shaking hands and people carrying signs. As a result, I understood their reasons for not voting, and could work to correct their legitimate concerns and make our democracy stronger.

We need to do everything we can to lift voter turnout, not suppress it. The more people who vote, the more nearly our democracy will reflect

the views of “the people,” not just the people who had the wherewithal to have the right ID or a ride to the polling place. And the more the polls reflect the communities we live in, the healthier and more legitimate our democracy will be.

Avon Grove Intermediate School students and staff commit to summer reading Just because school was on summer break, does not mean Avon Grove students took a break. Reading matters all year, even in the summer! Research shows that students who do not continue their daily reading habit through the summer months lose much of the progress they made in the previous school year.

Educators sometimes call this regression the “summer slide.” Students who suffer from the “summer slide” may take until November to regain their lost skills.

In May 2018, the principals and teachers from Avon Grove Intermediate School (AGIS) made a commitment to the importance of summer reading for their students. Each student was then asked to commit to reading at least three books at his/her independent reading level over the summer. This commit-

ment form was completed through Schoology so that this year’s teachers could follow up with each student on their summer reading. At the end of the 2018 school year, the literacy staff teamed up with Barnes and Noble Bookstore to offer a variety of titles for students to browse and purchase for their summer reading.

During the summer, the commitment continued. The principals made periodic phone calls to students to check in on their progress and to encourage continued reading. In addition, the principals organized a summer “Read In.” AGIS students and teachers were invited to come to school to read for an hour. Tents were set up outside where students, teachers and even principals lounged on blankets, towels and chairs in the shade to read uninterrupted. At the completion of the reading time, teachers led book

chats with small groups of students. In the fall, teachers will lead book clubs that feature instructional discussions on the students’ completed summer reading.

Parents are encouraged to help promote future reading commitment at home. Some suggestions to promote summer reading at home are setting up a convenient daily time for reading and discussing with your child about what he/she has read. In addi-

tion, have conversations about new words encountered during their reading and the meanings of these new words. Encourage your child to use these new words in everyday conversations and add them to their vocabulary bank.

Following these easy tips will help your child from slipping down the summer slide so that they will be ready for a great start to the school year.

Fantastic feats of eats expected at Mushroom Eating Championship

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer The National Fried Mushroom Eating Championship has quickly become one of the highlights of the Mushroom Festival each year, and the annual event, which is sponsored by Buona Foods and emceed by Kennett Square’s own Monty “Moe Train” Wiradilaga, will once again be “must-see” entertainment.

“This is the National Fried Mushroom Eating Championship,” explained Moe Train, an avid food and drink enthusiast who is himself a standout competitive eater.

“This event just gets bigger and bigger every year. Some of the world’s top eaters are going to be competing.”

In addition to Moe Train’s duties as an emcee during the day of the event, he also helps bring in the competitive eaters for the mushroom eating contest. Some of the competitive eaters are former Wing Bowl participants or YouTube stars, and they are all colorful characters who are willing and able to put on a show for the audience. The competition will be intense, with over $2,000 in overall and local cash prizes up for grabs.

Moe Train knows the competitive eating world well.

He has competed in the Wing Bowl in Philadelphia, finishing in the top-five two years in a row. He also brings some of the over-the-top enthusiasm and spectacle of the Wing Bowl to Kennett Square.

The excitement will reach a cresendo as some of the top-ranked professional eaters battle it out on the same stage as local amateurs. The event

always delivers the fun and excitement. When the 2018 National Fried Mushroom Eating Championship takes place in the Special Events Tent at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept.

8, the talented competitors will not only be vying against each other, they will also be competing to set a new world record, which is currently 11.5 pounds of Buona Foods’ breaded fried mushrooms devoured in just 8 minutes.

2017’s contest was a memorable battle to the very end, with competitive eating legend Dave “Tiger Wings” Brunelli edging out competitive eater and YouTube star Dan “Killer” Kennedy by less than a half pound.

This year’s contest should be just as exciting, Wiradilaga said.

He expects Bob “Notorious B.O.B.” Shoudt, one of the top competitive eaters in the world, to take part in the National Fried Mushroom Eating Championship. Moe Train is also eager to see Frankie “The Freak” Paul take on Pittsburgh Paulie, who is always a top villain at the Wing Bowl.

Moe Train said that one thing that distinguishes the Fried Mushroom Eating Championship from other competitive eating events is that the food is delicious, and the competitive eaters enjoy what they are consuming.

“It’s definitely a different kind of eating contest,” Moe Train explained. “The Buona Foods’ fried, breaded mushrooms are just delicious.”

The quality of the food is so good that it actually helps attract competitors to the event. Moe Train said that he hopes to have around 16 or 18 competitors entered into the event for 2018.

The mushroom eating contest has become one of the highlights of the Mushroom Festival with Monty ‘Moe Train’ Wiradilaga serving as the emcee.

The pre-game festivities begin at 2:30 p.m. with Moe Train entertaining the crowd.

His tag team partner for this is Brian Soscia, a well known

radio personality who works at 93.7 FM WSTW. “Brian and I met when I was doing the Mushroom Festival three years ago,” Moe Train

explained. “We clicked right away. The chemistry that we have is just great. He has great energy. Brian is just a great dude—very personable.”

Moe Train said that he and some of the Mushroom Festival organizers are still working on lining up some additional precompetition entertainment this year to get the crowd fired up.

The goal is to keep topping last year’s event.

The best part of the Mushroom Festival, of course, is the fact that it shines a spotlight on Kennett Square, the Mushroom Capital of the World. This is something that

is personally important to Moe Train because he is a Kennett Square native who still lives in the area.

“It’s an honor to emcee the event. Doing the Mushroom Festival is just awesome for me,” Moe Train explained. “I grew up in Kennett Square. I graduated from Kennett High School. I love being able to entertain the people of Kennett Square.”

The contest will be held Sept.

8 at 3 p.m. in the Special Events Tent at East State and Willow streets in Kennett Square. Precontest entertainment starts at 2:30 p.m.

Q&A with contest emcee Brian Soscia

Brian Soscia is well known in this area as a radio personality, having spent 12 years working in the Philadelphia market before taking his Soscia Network to 93.7 WSTWFM in Delaware. He will be helping to emcee the National Fried Mushroom Eating Championship at the 2018 Mushroom Festival, a duty that he also handled in 2017.

Q: What did you think of being a part of the National Fried Mushroom Eating Championship? Is it a fun event?

A: I mean, the name says it all! National! Right here in Kennett Square!

Awesome! It’s a can’t-miss event! You never know what’s going to happen, especially when you throw my boy Moe Train into the mix! It was and is an honor to be part of such a topnotch event. Once again this year, I’ll be expecting to feel the buzz around the

Mushroom Festival leading up to the championship festivities!

Did you consider being a participant in the National Fried Mushroom Eating Championship yourself?

C’mon! Those dudes would eat me up and spit me out … and they’d still be hungry! These guys train for this. They take it very seriously because a win means more money in their bank accounts and bragging rights. The amount of mushrooms that they chow down on would leave me in a two-week food coma. No way I’d even stand a chance.

So if you were going to enter a competitive foodeating contest, what food would it be?

To me, all this questions really says is,”Brian, you get FREE Pizza!” I’d eat until I fell over. Then, I’d have them prop me back up so that I could eat some

more.

You are a former professional wrestler, so it’s no surprise that you and Moe Train (Monty Wiradilaga) make such a good tag team. What’s it like working with him during the mushroom eating contest?

It’s an absolute pleasure.

He’s a very knowledgeable competitor and he’s also a showman. Plus, I always know that I’ll have a great time with the Train. Not only will I, but you will, too. We feed off of the crowd! Luckily, we play to a capacity crowd that’s ready to be entrained and see amazing feats of eats.

You do a lot of events that connect WSTW to its community. Can you talk about that a little?

It’s one of the best parts of my job. I get to come and hang out with you at events like the Mushroom Festival. Plus, we get to make an impact on people’s

lives by doing things like the 93.7 WSTW Radiothon. We help to raise tons of money for Nemours Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children. It’s a great feeling! Those kids are some of the most positive people that I’ve ever met and they deserve every dime that we can get for them! I also enjoy working with my friends at Special Olympics of Delaware. I never leave one of their events without a big smile.

Oxford 30, Henderson 7

A strong second half propels Oxford to a win in season opener

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer The Oxford Hornets opened the 2018 football season with a 30-7 win over West Chester Henderson on Friday night as quarterback Brett Kochmansky ran for two touchdowns and threw for another. Oxford’s experienced defense, which features eight returning starters, also turned in a stellar effort.

On Oxford’s first possession of the game, Kochmansky engineered an eight-play drive that covered 64 yards and resulted in the game’s first score.

The drive illustrated how this year’s run-first offense will be markedly different from the pass-first offense that enabled the Hornets to reach the playoffs for the first time in nearly 25 years in 2017. Kochmansky completed all three of his passes during the drive, but it was his ability to hold the ball and force the defense to respect his running ability that created opportunities. It certainly gave Henderson’s defense something to worry about when Kochmansky broke free for a 50-yard touchdown run that gave Oxford the early lead.

Running back Tim Faber made it an 8-0 lead when he ran the ball into the end zone for a two-point conversion.

Later in the first quarter, the Hornets moved into Henderson territory when Kochmansky connected with wide receiver Brandon McWilliams on a nice slant pass that gained 25 yards.

McWilliams raced past the defenders and came very close to going all the way on the play, but Henderson cornerback Mark Roccia managed to trip him up in the open field. That play was made more significant when Roccia’s teammate, Nate Mulhern, made a diving interception to end the drive just a few plays later.

For most of the rest of the first half, Oxford couldn’t execute well offensively.

Henderson cut the lead to 8-7 following an Oxford fumble deep in Henderson territory.

It took the Warriors three plays—a run by quarterback Pat Esemplare and two carries by Jay Pierce—to move the ball 15 yards for a touchdown. Pierce scored from five yards out, making it 8-7.

At halftime, Oxford head coach Mike Means encouraged his team to start cleaning up some of the mistakes—but he also reminded them that, despite the first half miscues, they were still leading the game.

Oxford started the third quarter clearly playing with more confidence. Faber took the third quarter kickoff and returned it to the 35, setting Oxford up with good field position. Three plays later, Faber took a toss from Kochmansky, found running room, and raced down the right sideline for a 54-yard score. The point-after attempt was no good, but Oxford held a 14-7 lead— and more importantly, the team had shrugged off a sluggish second quarter.

With the defense doing its job, the Oxford offense really found its footing as the third quarter progressed.

The Hornets made it 17-7 with 4:55 left in the third quarter when kicker Tyler Brooks booted a 22-yard field goal.

Then, just two plays later, the Hornets got the ball back when standout safety Nathan Ferro picked off a pass at the 43. Kochmansky tossed a slant pass to wide receiver Anthony Woody to move the ball 20 yards.

Faber moved the chains with an eight-yard gain. Then Kochmansky connected with running back Jaxson Chew for a five-yard touchdown. The score made it 23-7.

Oxford’s defense was now taking control of the game.

The Hornets surrendered just 31 yards in the second half, and only allowed points when Henderson’s offense was working with a short field following a turnover.

Oxford sealed the victory when Kochmansky scored from two yards out midway through the fourth quarter, making it 30-7.

After his team turned in a dominating performance in the second half, Means said that he thought the team’s commitment to a rigorous conditioning program really helped, especially in the second half. Oxford won the battle in the trenches, and that was reflected in the final score.

“I thought our offensive line took over the game in the second half,” Means said. “I’m proud of our big boys up front.”

Means was also impressed by the effort of McWilliams, who hauled in seven catches in the game, and helped extend some plays.

Oxford’s offense is going to evolve as the season goes on. The team has a lot of players who can contribute on that side of the ball.

This was Kochmansky’s first game as a starting quarterback and he was very productive.

Means said that Kochmansky’s ability to run the ball gives Oxford’s offense a much different look than it had in the last few seasons. Now, the run is opening up things for the pass, while the pass was previously used to open up the run.

“I thought he really settled into the game,” Means said.

“He’s going to get better and better as the season goes on. He’s a great leader, and that’s the number-one thing that I look for at that position.”

Means is hopeful that Oxford will clean up some of the mistakes, but overall it was a good way to start the season.

“We need to play two halves of football,” Means said. “We have eight starters back on defense, and we’re going to rely on them. I thought they did an incredible job today. They really flew to the ball.”

Next, Oxford will travel to Interboro to play at 7 p.m. on Friday night.

Runners take part in Everyday Hero 5K in Nottingham Park Runners from near and far came to Nottingham Park on Aug. 18 to run in the Everyday Hero 5K Run. The grass was still wet from overnight storms, but as the crowds gathered to run through a challenging course, a sense of community formed. A large group of runners from Run856, most from New Jersey, were running in support of fellow teammate Patrick Rodio.

Rodio’s father, Jerome, was the inspiration for the run.

He served as a Philadelphia police office and then retired to Oxford. In Oxford, he opened a small business and served the community on various committees, including as president of the Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce. The run honored not only Jerome, but all those that serve in their community – the unsung Everyday Heroes that lift up communities.

Run856, named for their area code, embraced the theme with some members dressed in superhero running outfits. Another large group attending was FatDag. Named by Michael Daggett of Indianapolis,FatDag was created as community support, weight loss and fitness tool for service members and their families who are at risk of involuntary discharge due to failed physical fitness tests.

With followers all over the country, FatDag embarked on an “International Tour” in April to run in eight 5K races.

Run856 swept the top awards, with overall male winner Marco Cardoso

Runners from across the country took part in the Everyday Hero 5K Run.

finishing in 18:40, and women’s overall winner Willow Dimartino clocking in 26:12.

This is the second year the Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce has hosted the Everyday Hero 5K Run. There are plans to make it an annual event.

Chiropractic Services provided fresh fruit and granola bars, Kacie’s Cause had cold water on hand, Herr and Taskykake provided snacks, and one of the prime sponsors, Armstrong, had a table of giveaways.

Additional sponsors for the event included Bethany Christian School, Cameron’s, Community of Love Lutheran Church, Country Chrysler, KVIs and Coe Insurance, the Maroon Hornet Comics and Collectibles, Oxford Mini Storage, Wholly Grounds and WSFS. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Oxford Veterans Breakfast.

Contestants enjoyed the competition, and the many causes they supported.

I see it first-hand in my job at Miller Law in West Chester, and in my prior employment with the Chester County Drug Court program.

It seems that just about every arrest has some connection to drug, alcohol or mental health issues. However, there is hope.

People recover every day with the help of the community, family and friends. Kacie’s Cause is here to help educate and connect people with treatment.

“At the Vigil on Friday, we will have special speakers, including a mother who has lost a son to overdose, people in recovery, and community members who want to speak their mind through open mic,” Norcini added. “We will have tons of helpful information to distribute. We will have Narcan to be distributed to anyone in need. I also have pill safes that are free to the public, to help protect their legal drugs.

Lastly, Abe the mini-horse will be making an appearance.”

County Coroner says two deaths attributed to herbal supplement kratom Last week, the Chester County Coroner’s Office reported two deaths attributed to consumption of kratom, an herbal supplement being marketed as a natural painkiller.

Ryan Jones of Caln Township died on April 30, with the cause of death determined to be mitragynine toxicity, with hypertensive cardiovascular disease as a contributing condition. Caleb Jonathan Sturgis of West Bradford Township died on June 27 of acute mitragynine intoxication.

The deaths were accidental, according to the Chester County Coroner’s Office.

“Unfortunately, there is little research available on kratom,” said Dr. Christina VandePol, Chester County Coroner.

“These deaths obviously raise our level of concern, however, and I encourage health care providers to be on the alert for its use in our community.”

According to the National Library of Medicine, there is no well-defined toxic dose for mitragynine. At lower to

moderate doses (one to five grams of raw leaves) can produce mild stimulant effects but can also produce anxiety and agitation. Higher doses (five to 15 grams) can produce opioid-like effects such as sedation, euphoria and analgesia.

According to the American Chemical Society, “mitragynine is the predominant alkaloid produced by the southeastern Asian plant Mitragyna speciosa.” It is commonly known as kratom and remains

legal to buy and use in Pennsylvania. It is unregulated, although both the FDA and the DEA have expressed concerns about its use.

The FDA is warning consumers not to use any products labeled as containing kratom or its psychoactive compounds, mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine. The FDA is asking for more research to better understand kratom’s safety profile, including the use of kratom combined with other drugs.

Artist Susan Melrath completes Oxford mural

Last week, regional artist Susan Melrath shared photos of her latest mural project in Oxford.

Melrath previously painted the vibrant mural on the outside wall of the Bog Turtle Brewery downtown.

This new mural puts larger-than-life flowers on the front of a building.

Melrath writes in her blog, “This is my newly completed mural in Oxford, where support for the arts, and particularly public art, is growing. With the help of Oxford Mainstreet,

Inc., and theOxford Arts Alliance, artists have an opportunity to take their work directly to the people.”

The flowers are so large that Melrath had to stand on scaffolding to finish them.

“One afternoon, as I snapped a picture of the day’s work, a bee happened to fly in front of my camera, and it looked as if she wanted to land on the flower,” Melrath writes.

“So, two bees were incorporated into the final art. I don’t think it would have been right without them!”

Melrath added bees to the flowers after a real bee seemed interested in her work.
