Opponents win, for now: DRBC puts Artesian decision on hold

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer

Landenberg Today magazine

www.chestercounty.com

More than 100 concerned parties on both sides of the biggest issue in recent southern Chester County memory gathered in downtown Wilmington on Sept.

15, well prepared to again state their opinions in anticipation of a final ruling. Even though both sides spent nearly three hours arguing for and against the activation of a well in Landenberg, they could have saved their voices.

The meeting, held at the Chase Center on the Wilmington Riverfront, essentially served as a follow-up to a three-hour

meeting several DRBC and DEP officials held with over 200 concerned residents on Sept. 8, at the Avondale Fire Company.

Throughout the Sept. 8 meeting, residents provided both scientific and emotional testimony to the officials, strongly encouraging the DRBC to either entirely reject Artesian's application to activate the well, or place severe monitoring checks and balances on Artesian, if the well is approved.

Making reference to the Sept.

8 meeting which she attended, Kelly Heffner, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection deputy secretary and the Pennsylvania liaison to the

Delaware River Basin Authority's [DRBC] Board of Governors, said that she would make a motion at the board's Sept. 16 meeting to table the request of Artesian Water Resources to activate the Broad Run well – located on the corner of Newark and Broad Run roads in Landenberg – until at least December, when the DRBC board is scheduled to meet next.

The formal approval to postpone decision on the Artesian docket was decided at the board's business meeting on Sept. 16.

The newest ‘Bench by the Road’ was dedicated by representatives of the Toni Morrison Society, Lincoln staff members and descendants of Hinsonville families.

Every seat was filled and the crowd spilled out into the yard at the Hosanna A.U.M.P. Church at Lincoln University on Sept. 18 for the unveiling and dedication of a bench that marks 172 years of struggle and pride.

The church has roots on the small plot of land that stretch back to 1843. The church was the spiritual center of what was once called Hinsonville, an African-American community whose residents helped establish Lincoln University. The church

was a stop on the Underground Railroad, and original Hosanna trustee James Ralston Amos and his brother Thomas Henry Amos were among the first students at Ashmun Institute, founded in 1854 and later renamed Lincoln University. The graveyard holds the remains of 12 African American Civil War soldiers, as well as the ancestors of Hinsonville families.

Kennett Square Mayor Matthew Fetick believes the task force will lead to a positive outcome for library

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer

Plans for a library task force are moving forward as Kennett Square Borough Council formally voted to participate in the effort at its meeting on Monday night.

The vote comes after a series of seemingly positive developments for the Kennett Public Library’s board after officials from Kennett Square Borough and Kennett Township expressed concerns

about the direction that the library board had been taking.

Kennett Square Mayor Matthew Fetick first proposed the formation of the task force in July in response to a large number of residents who were sharing their concerns about the direction of the library. Fetick also wanted Kennett Square Borough to have the opportunity to appoint a member to the library board.

Library director Donna Murray, Continued on Page 2A

By John Chambless Staff Writer During the Sept. 21 work session for the Unionville-Chadds Ford School Boad, board member Keith Knauss read a statement that was not part of the agenda, objecting to what he says are unnecessary courses being taken by district teachers.

“I got a report about courses taken,” Knauss said. “We spent $240,000 on tuition reimbursements for 220 courses that teachers took. Of course, the district encourages teachers to take these courses because we believe

it results in more effective teaching. In addition to reimbursing the tuition, we increase teacher pay when they earn advanced degrees and complete academic coursework. In our pay system, teachers with bachelor degrees at Step 16 earn $75,000 a year, while teachers with a masters degree at the same level, plus 60 extra credits, would earn $103,000. Plus, there’s a strong financial incentive of a $28,000 annual increase in salary.

“By the way, this is unusual in the private sector, where companies will typically pay for tuition, but a salary increase is

not guaranteed,” Knauss continued. “A shadow industry has emerged to game the system.

This industry offers a number of three-credit courses that add little to teaching effectiveness, courses that Dr. Sanville would never approve if he were not constrained by contract language.

These are technical education courses with names like ‘Google Apps for Education,’ ‘Interactive White Board Technology,’ and my favorite, a second level of the incredibly important course about movie making, with the title ‘Apple iMovie Level 2.’

es of the Toni Morrison Society.

Morrison, a Nobel Laureate, wrote in 1989 that, “There is no place you or I can go, to think about or not think about, to summon the presences of, or recollect the absences of slaves; nothing that reminds us of the ones who made the journey and of those who did not make it. There is no suitable memorial or plaque or wreath or wall or park or skyscraper.

There’s no three-hundred-foot tower. There’s no small bench by the road.”

Inspired by that quote, the society has placed benches throughout the nation to mark significant places in African American history.

Dr. Cheryl Renee Gooch, the dean of Lincoln’s College of Arts, welcomed the capacity crowd inside the small church on Friday, saying, “This church was the social and spiritual center of the community here. Hinsonville was a community of self-determined

people who assisted their fellow human beings in escaping slavery, while also helping to establish a university to educate free men of color. Imagine that. A lot happened here,” she added. “There’s memory here.”

Terrell Smith, the president of the Lincoln University Student Government Association, said, “Hosanna has served as a memorial stone for the students of Lincoln University from generation to generation. This great spiritual edifice has stood as a place of worship, peace and meditation for students for over a century. This church has been an ever-present memorial, both to Lincoln’s spiritual foundation and the progress of the African American people throughout our sojourn in this nation.”

Evelyn Schreiber of the Toni Morrison Society gave a history of the society and traced the places where benches now stand to mark a formerly disconnected history.

dant of the Walls family, said, “Today, I thank you for honoring the memory of all those people who were a part of Hinsonville.”

The members of the Singing and Praying Bands of Maryland and Delaware, dressed in crisp black-and-white outfits, sang as they stood in the pews, their powerful, blended voices carrying into the church yard through the open windows. Slowly, they led the way to the bench as a crowd gathered, taking photos and clapping along.

At the bench, Craig Stutman of the Toni Morrison Society welcomed the large crowd and presided over the removal of a black cloth, revealing the bench and the plaque that explains its significance.

“I’ve always been so incredibly moved by these grounds,” he said. “I’m so happy to be back here today. As we stand upon this hallowed ground, we commemorate the lives of Hinsonville’s

19th-century African American residents – farmers, artisans, missionaries and ministers, mothers, daughters, fathers and sons -- all of whom came together to establish a community in which this church served as its heart and soul and spiritual center.”

As the crowd talked and mingled after the ceremony, descendants of Hinsonville’s original families took a seat on the bench, smiling as people aimed cameras and iPhones at them, taking their own place in the long history of Hosanna Church.

who was in attendance at Monday night’s meeting, offered an update to borough council. She said that the library board’s policy committee acted quickly to change the bylaws to ensure that each of the eight municipalities would have representation on the library board, regardless of how much the municipality contributes to the library’s operations each year.

The library board subsequently approved those changes to the bylaws at a meeting in September.

“I think this shows how open the board is to working with the community,” Murray said.

Fetick said that he was pleased when he learned that the library board had, in fact, made the changes necessary to ensure that officials from Kennett Square Borough and the other municipalities would be able to appoint representatives to the library board.

The mayor also noted the need for adequate representation on the library board was what prompted him to ask borough council to consider withholding the borough’s funding of approximately $37,000 a year to the library. Because of the library board’s responsiveness, borough council has not had to act on that request. And now, the situation seems to have improved so much that Fetick talked about Kennett Square boosting its funding for 2016 to reach the “fair share” level that would give the borough two designated representatives on the library board.

Fetick said that he sees the task force as a short-term endeavor that could serve for three months or

six months or longer, and that it would work to clear the air of all the questions that have been surrounding the library board.

Some local residents have been concerned about the number of library board members who have resigned during the last two years, the behind-the-scenes turmoil that has hindered the library board’s efforts in the recent past, the name change from the Bayard Taylor Memorial Library to the Kennett Public Library, and the planned construction of a new library on property in Kennett Township.

Fetick has previously said that the task force’s goal is not to micromanage the library board as it makes decisions, but rather to serve to bring library officials, municipal leaders, and the community together to address any of the issues that need to be resolved.

The library board recently received the results of a study that showed that a capital campaign would not garner adequate support right now because of some of the unresolved issues.

According to Fetick, the library task force could help serve a very useful purpose of putting an end to the ongoing disconnect that has existed between the library board and the community. After the task force does its work, elected officials in the municipalities would have confidence in the library board moving forward, and the leaders in the eight municipalities and the local residents would be able to fully support the capital campaign that the library wants to do as it plans for the future.

Artesian...

commissioners, and we have already had the opportunity to do that,” Heffner said. “We take seriously the comments that have been received. They need some comprehensive valuation.

I know we talked last Tuesday about that evaluation being presented in a written format.

While we are going to do it officially today, I have no reason to believe hat my fellow commissioners will not support that mission tomorrow [Sept. 16].”

Heffner's comments were made during the DRBC board's meeting to review not only Artesian's application, but 32 other water activation applications currently in docket form, from New York, New Jersey, Delaware and elsewhere in Pennsylvania. In addition to moderator Steven Tambini, DRBC director, those in attendance were Pamela M. Bush, secretary and legal counsel; Kenneth J. Warren, legal counsel; William H. Graham, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; Kara S. Coats, Delaware representative; Angus Eaton, New York representative; and Daniel Kennedy, New Jersey representative.

Artesian is seeking approval to withdraw as much as 288,000 gallons of water per day, at a rate of 200 gallons per minute, and over 100 million gallons projected over the course of one year from the aquifer.

For nearly the next 90 minutes, the board heard comments from those opposed to the activation of the Broad Run well.

Some of points raised by those in attendance included questioning the scope and validity of last spring’s aquifer test, which was conducted during inclement weather and thus may have potentially skewed water level results; questioning the exact amount of water Artesian needs; and questioning why Artesian

has not obtained zoning approval or exceptions to operate a commercial well on land that is zoned for residential purpose.

Calling Chester County a "good neighbor," State Sen. Andrew Dinniman told the board that county residents don't resent that some of its water goes directly to Wilmington, but rather, understands its responsibility to keep its water clean and plentiful.

However, Dinniman said that the testing of the well done by Artesian last spring does indeed have many "red flags," contrary to the original results of the testing; namely, that the results were skewed because the test was done during a period of heavy precipitation.

He also said that Artesian's proposed monitoring system for the well is not adequate enough, and that additional checks and balances need to be incorporated, if the DRBC eventually approves Artesian's application.

He also praised the work and testimony of local authorities in their opposition to the well, namely Steve Allaband of the New Garden Township Board of Supervisors; Dr. Denis Newbold, formerly with the Stroud Water Research Center; and Jan Bowers, the executive director of the Chester County Water Resources Authority.

"We simply want you to talk with them, to engage in a dialogue with them in the months ahead, so that we can come to a conclusion that will be fair to all," he said. "We simply beg of you not to destroy what we have spent decades building in our county. We want the county to remain agricultural under our county plan. We want it to to remain an open space county, so that the citizens of Chester County, as well as the State of Delaware, can jointly celebrate what comes when you protect the water and protect the land.

"There is an environmental

ethic in Chester County that I'm damn proud of, and I ask that the [DRBC board] protect us and our environmental ethic."

The board then heard comments from several officials and citizens, who expressed their opposition to Artesian's presence in southern Chester County.

Many of them repeated the comments they originally shared at the Sept. 8 meeting, including Allaband; Jane and Marion Waggoner and Dave Yake from the Save Our Water Committee; and Newbold and Bowers.

Acknowledging the large amount of governing agencies, environmental experts and appointed and elected officials involved in this issue, Bowers offered to have the Chester County Water Resources Authority host a work session to address all comments and suggestions between concerned parties.

"We have a lot of experts and expertise in our water management community in this area, and we would like to offer that to the Commission to address these concerns...so that we can put all of our best heads together, put all of our science together, synthesize it, and get our best answer out of it," she said.

John and Darelle Riabov of Landenberg shared their story with the DRBC board about the testing Artesian did on their well in Jan. 2014 -- one of seven wells the water company monitored in the area at that time.

The Riabovs said that the results of testing on their well showed a significant drop in their well's water levels during the testing, even though the Riabovs were not home at the time.

"Peter Demicco [a hydrogeologist for Artesian] attributed the result to a leak in our house," John Riabov said. "To our knowledge and to this date, we have not found any leaks in sinks, toilets or plumbing in our house.

"Long-term pumping activity at the Broad Run well will likely have significant impact on a broader area, lowering all water levels, causing catastrophic consequences to humans' well being, to homeowner values, and will cause financial hardship and environmental damage," he added.

Darelle told the DRBC board that if the Riabov's well runs dry, they would be forced to petition Artesian for water service, which she estimated would cost $15,000 for a hook-up, with a monthly fee of between $50 and $75.

"This unexpected expense would have a significant impact on us," she said. "As retirees, we are living on a fixed income, and have not made provisions for an additional hook-up and monthly water costs."

Artesian representatives spent 15 minutes attempting to refute the avalanche of comments the DRBC board had just heard.

Artesian General Counsel Jack Schreppler said that Artesian has been in the public water business for 110 years, with presence not only in Chester County, but in Delaware and Maryland.

"We have a lot of experience with wells, and this is not our first allocation," Schreppler said. "I want to note that Sen. Dinniman and others didn't want us to do the aquifer pump test. That tells you something, that there's something other than reason or science at work here. He and others have taken some liberties on the monitoring of the residential wells."

Kathy Thaeder, Artesian's manager of capital projects, attempted to clear up the confusion about the well monitoring Artesian conducted on homes in the vicinity of the Broad Run well. She told the Commission that the residential well monitoring, done in coordination with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection [DEP] originally consisted of letters of inquiry that

were sent to 106 homes.

"Initially, we had five [homeowners respond], and the DEP said 'That's not suitable and the people you have are too far out.

You're going to have to try harder to get people as close as possible to the well,'" Thaeder said. "So nine letters went out and that letter did have a clause."

Thaeder said that the second letter stated that "Artesian is not responsible for any pre-existing conditions in an owner's well."

Two houses failed preliminary testing, so Artesian then drilled two wells near the Broad Run stream, in order to obtain more data.

Demicco attempted to reassure the DRBC board that the activation of the Broad Run well would not have any environmental impact on area wells, calling the aquifer test of last spring "perfectly valid."

"I am confident it's not going to happen," he said. "I'm not scared of it. It's not going to affect your local, domestic wells."

John Thaeder, Artesian's senior vice president for operations, closed out Artesian's response period.

"There's been a lot of discussion about, 'Why this well? Why this location?'" he said. "The short answer is that we're responsible for reliability and service to our customers, and our customers are located in that portion of southern Chester County, and they're located just across the line in Delaware. There is not one other source in that area that we can rely on for supply. It's plain and simple. We need to provide the reliability of service. We have that obligation to our customers, whether they're in Delaware or Pennsylvania."

Thaeder then gave support to the 200 gallons per minute Artesian would expect to draw from the well.

"Why 200 gallons per minute?" he said. "That is the area

that we're trying to provide service to. All of that water will be consumed within a mile of this well. We're not trying to serve New Castle County significant amounts of water. We're trying to provide reliable service. It's our job. It's our mission. It's what we're supposed to do.

"It's about sustainability of a resource," he added. "It does us no good to ever harm a resource."

The DRBC board also decided at their Sept. 16 meeting to extend the deadline for public comment on the Artesian well to Sept. 30.

and demonstrations. This year, the theme was “Welcome to the Outback,” which was appropriate, since quite a few top local riders are Australian.

Dutton and Boyd both rode several horses in the top division, the CIC 3*, as well as a number of less-experienced horses in the CIC 2*, CIC1*, and Advanced divisions run at the Unionville venue.

However, Tamra Smith made the trip from Temecula, Calif.., worthwhile as she rode Mai Baum to capture top accolades with a clear victory in the CIC3*. Smith started the event on day one with a

38.20 dressage score, followed by a clear round in stadium jumping and a mere 1.2 time faults on the cross-country course. A final score of 39.40 gave her an undisputed victory over Marilyn Little on RF Scandalous.

Tuition objection...

“This has got to stop,” Knauss said. “Twenty-five percent of the courses taken each year, comprising $58,000 in tuition reimbursement, fall into this ineffective category. I realize these technical education courses are part of the teacher contract, and thus we are obligated to let each teacher take four of these courses.

But I’m wondering if we should strike a bargain with the union that would be beneficial to both sides: We give every teacher 12 automatic tech-ed credits, and we in return save tuition money.

I’m going to throw that out there and let the school board directors chew on that. Maybe we can have some further discussion.”

School district superintendent John Sanville said, “From

a historical perspective, there was a memorandum of understanding with the district and the Teachers Association in 2011 that was based on concerns similar to what Keith just raised. Out of that memorandum were some filters relative to what would be approved and what would not be approved. But a caveat was that 12 applied technology credits would be acceptable.

“I can tell you that John Nolen and Ken Batchelor and I look at teacher requests for tuition reimbursement very closely,” Sanville continued. “Where we have less perogative in what is approved is on the technology side. There are some technology courses that make sense. But there are also some technology courses that I’m not sure how they might fit with individual teacher’s responsibilities.”

Knauss acknowleded that, “75 percent of the courses are challenging courses, and I think they do add to the effectiveness of teaching. But I’m also seeing a good portion of those courses that, in my mind, are highly questionable.”

The board discussed whether the district could approach area colleges and universities and negotiate a reduced rate for district teachers taking advanced courses.

Sanville said he would investigate the possibility.

The ongoing renovations at Patton Middle School were addressed by Rick Hostetler, the supervisor of buildings and grounds. “I told the board last month that we anticipated having classrooms ready for the start of the school year,” he said. “Well, we did, but not by much. We finished Sunday afternoon at 2:00

Some were dog tired by the end of the four days of competition.

and opened school on Monday morning.

“The classroom portion, which we considered phase one of this project, is complete. Phase two -- which is the main entrance, the main office, guidance, and the nurse’s suite – is in progress. The interior walls should be completed by the end of October, the interior finishes by the end of November, and exterior masonry completed by mid-November. It should all be done by mid-December, and ready for move-in over winter break,” Hostetler said.

Sanville asked Hosteler to address some concerns that the middle school play would be disrupted by the renovations. “None of this work is happening in the auditorium, so there’s no reason for activities in the auditorium not to proceed,” Hostetler said.

The long-standing problem with

the roof of the Unionville High School auditorium – which echoes with noise during a heavy rain – is moving toward resolution, Hostetler said. “A corrective design has been determined. Pricing has been obtained from some contractors. A contractor has tentatively been selected to do the work,” he said. “The hold-up is that the insurance company has not acted to authorize the architect to hire the contrator and move ahead.

“Everyone agrees it’s the architect’s issue,” Hostetler said, “but the insurance company has been a little reluctant to move ahead with a $200,000 item. Provided we can get the insurance company moving, the plan is to complete the work before the end of October.” The roof will be fixed at no cost to the district. The work should be complete before the fall play is staged at Unionville, Hostetler added.

In a bit of good news, he said the rooftop air-conditioning unit for Patton Middle School is installed and working. A suitable unit that was never installed was found sitting in storage in Baltimore, and the district negotiated a bargain price for it.

“We have obtained the unit, and it is operational at the middle school,” Hostetler said. “The unit was $10,000. The curb that it sits on cost us $3,000, and there’s another $3,000 in control work.

For under $14,000, the unit is operational. If purchased new, it would have been $60,000 to $70,000. I think we’re in good shape.”

School board member Gregg Lindner replied, “Sounds like the deal of the year for us.”

We support proposed legislation that actually makes it easier for Pennsylvanians to vote

Barrar named legislator of the year

In six weeks, Pennsylvania voters will go to the polls to support their preferred candidates in numerous races, mostly for county or municipal positions.

Or, to be more precise, a small fraction of voters will go to the polls in this off-year election.

Turnout for the upcoming election is expected to be light, just as it was during the Primary Election in May. Three state lawmakers—Brian Sims (D-Philadelphia), Scott Conklin (D-Centre), and Tina Davis (D-Bucks) are introducing a package of bills to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives that is aimed at helping Pennsylvanians vote.

We applaud this effort, especially considering the General Assembly’s wrong-minded attempts to impose an unpopular voter ID law in 2012.

State Rep. Sims is introducing a bill that would allow in-person absentee ballot voting before primary and general elections with no-excuse-needed absentee ballot voting by mail.

Sims and State Rep. Davis will introduce a bill to create an independent redistricting commission that would oversee the redistricting process.

State Rep. Conklin and Sims have introduced a bill to set up automatic voter registration of all eligible people who obtain a Pennsylvania driver’s license or non-drive identification card, with provisions for opting out with 21 days.

If we were given the chance, we would vote “yes” to early voting opportunities, “yes” to giving citizens the option of casting absentee ballots, “yes” to redistricting reform, and “yes” to automatic voter registration for all eligible citizens.

When this package of voting bills was announced, Sims noted that 33 states and the District of Columbia allow residents some form of early voting. Twenty-seven states and the District of Columbia allow voters to cast absentee ballots without an excuse.

It’s simple: In 2015, states should be doing everything possible to allow citizens to exercise their right to vote.

What these three lawmakers are proposing is in contrast to what the Republican-controlled State Legislature did in 2012 by passing the controversial Voter ID Law. The Commonwealth Court ultimately struck down the law.

Even though proponents of the Voter ID Law claimed that it would prevent election day voter fraud at the polls, there was no evidence that such fraud ever took place in Pennsylvania. Critics of the law saw it as an attempt to discourage eligible voters, primarily the elderly and the poor, from going to t he polls.

The bill to create an independent redistricting commission is similar to legislation that was approved in Arizona in an attempt to end partisan gerrymandering.

Pennsylvania would certainly benefit from legislation that would end gerrymandering.

We hope that lawmakers will support these initiatives to make it easier for residents to registers and vote.

The last day for Chester County residents to register before the November general election is Oct. 5.

Local representative is lauded for support of 911 issues in the Commonwealth

Rep. Steve Barrar (R-Chester/ Delaware), chairman of the House Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness Committee, was presented with the 2015 Legislator of the Year Award from the Pennsylvania National Emergency Number Association (NENA).

The award, which he has received for a second time, recognizes an outstanding Pennsylvania legislator for his or her work and support of emergency

communications issues.

“It is my honor to receive this award,” Barrar said. “This year, the Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness Committee and I finished a tremendous project that involved more than two years of work.

NENA recognizes that the top priority is to secure the funding that our county 911 centers need to remain relevant, and I appreciate that acknowledgement.”

For the past two years, Barrar worked to draft House Bill 911, which was signed into law earlier this year. Now Act 12, it enables 911 centers to provide critical emergency services to the community as quickly as possible and via a host of new communication methods including texting, calls from video, non-human (e.g.

OnStar) calls and calls from non-specific devices, such as an iPad.

“Our emergency communications systems provide such an invaluable service to the citizens of the Commonwealth, and it has been my privilege to work to maintain the stability of Pennsylvania’s systems,” Barrar said.

NENA focuses on 9-1-1 policy, technology, operations and education issues. It has more than 9,000 members in 48 chapters across the United States and around the globe.

Politicians are failing us on the economy

By Lee H. Hamilton A couple of months ago, the Congressional Budget Office issued a sobering report on the U.S. economy’s long-term prospects. Not to put too fine a point on it, we’re headed for the fiscal rocks.

Federal spending accounts for about 20 percent of the nation’s GDP, the budget analysts note; if current trends continue, that will rise to fully 25 percent by 2040. Revenues will not keep up — they’ll amount to only 19 percent of GDP. Here’s what the non-partisan CBO has to say: “Mainly because of the aging of the population and rising health care costs, the extended baseline projections show revenues that fall well short of spending over the long term, producing a substantial imbalance in the federal budget. As a result, budget deficits are projected to rise steadily and, by 2040, to raise federal debt held by the public to a percentage of GDP seen at only one previous time in U.S. history — the final year of World War II and the following year.” We face a fiscal crisis of historic proportions.

Our presidential candidates can talk all they want about

American prosperity and world leadership, but without a firm fiscal base it’s just hot air.

Unless we can stabilize the debt and put the country on a path of sustainable economic growth with prosperity evenly shared, we’ll have no firm economic base for all those lofty goals to rest upon.

This means tackling a host of complex problems. We have to get long-term debt under control. We have to preserve Social Security yet find a solution to rising entitlement spending, which will be a key driver of federal spending for decades to come. We have to deal with health-care costs, which pose the same challenge. We have to invest in skills, education, and infrastructure without breaking the bank. We have to craft a simpler, fairer, less intrusive tax policy that promotes economic efficiency and is conducive to long-term growth.

The people who have to do all these things are politicians who, thus far, have been unwilling and unable to take these obvious challenges head on.

The problem is not with the system itself. Similar barriers have been overcome repeatedly in the past, with reforms in Social Security in 1983, taxes in

1986, and repeatedly in budget agreements.

Rather, the problem is that our leaders are divided between those who want to cut spending and those who want to boost taxes in order to expand government’s role. Yet it’s impossible to solve our problems by finding new revenues or cutting spending alone. Without doing both, we face a weakened future. It is unreasonable and unacceptable to try to continue our present course of trying to muddle through.

There’s a reason that you don’t hear much talk about this in Washington. Americans themselves want it all — lower taxes without significant cuts in federal spending. But here’s the problem: Almost 60 percent of federal spending is accounted for by Social Security, Medicare and defense and national security. Add the 7 percent of the budget that goes to interest on the national debt, and there’s little room for significant progress without painful and difficult legislative action.

Political leaders should grasp these realities and act now. But they have not, so it’s up to Americans to pressure them to do so. True, nothing will happen without presidential leadership.

All issues will have to be on the table, because the pain needs to be shared broadly. And progress will require the adroit bipartisan participation of congressional leaders.

Instead, those who believe in a single path assure us that we need only wait until the next election and they’ll get the forces they need. This is a pipedream. The electorate is too evenly divided and too volatile to sustain complete control by one side over several elections.

So really, it’s up to the American people to demand action. We have to create the political will that drives our leaders to deal with these difficult economic problems — that leads them to tackle entitlements, health costs, investing in the future, and tax reform. The question is whether our political leaders are up to the task before our economy runs out of time.

By Congressman Joe Pitts This week, after a tenth video was released showing Planned Parenthood officials discussing the trafficking of unborn baby’s body parts, the House took action. On Thursday, the Energy and Commerce Committee’s Health Subcommittee, which I chair, held a hearing on two drafts of legislation to ban any service provider convicted of violating either the Born Alive Infants Protection Act or the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act from participating in Medicare, Medicaid, and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program. These bills would also empower states to stop giving Medicaid funding to any provider whom they suspect of breaking these laws.

Back in January, on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the House voted to stop giving Title X funding to abortion providers.

We have also voted to ban abortions starting at the sixth month of gestation, something that is supported by 59% percent of Pennsylvanians.

On Tuesday, Pope Francis

will arrive in the United States.

There will be a welcoming ceremony with the President at the White House on Wednesday, and on Thursday, Congress will have the honor of welcoming the Pope to the United States Capitol, where he will address a joint session of the Senate and House. He will be the first pope to ever visit the U.S. Capitol, and the first ever to address Congress. Soon after, he will come to Philadelphia for the World Meeting of Families.

It will be an historic occasion.

Only three popes have ever visited the United States at all. He will be the second pope to visit Philadelphia, after Pope John Paul II in 1979.

Pope John Paul II, in both his 1987 and 1993 visits, famously said, “America, you are beautiful and blessed in so many ways... But your best beauty and your richest blessing is found in the human person: in each man, woman and child, in every immigrant, in every native born son and daughter...The ultimate test of your greatness is the way you treat every human being, but especially the weakest and

most defenseless ones. The best traditions of your land presume respect for those who cannot defend themselves. If you want equal justice for all, and true freedom and lasting peace, then, America, defend life! All the great causes that are yours today will have meaning only to the extent that you guarantee the right to life and protect the human person.”

Pope Francis, in turn, has eloquently made much the same point. “The defense of unborn life is closely linked to the defense of each and every other human right. It involves the conviction that a human being is always sacred and inviolable, in any situation and at every stage of development. Human beings are ends in themselves and never a means of resolving other problems. Once this conviction disappears, so do solid and lasting foundations for the defense of human rights, which would always be subject to the passing whims of the powers that be. Reason alone is sufficient to recognize the inviolable value of each single human life, but if we also look at the issue

from the standpoint of faith, ‘every violation of the personal dignity of the human being cries out in vengeance to God and is an offense against the creator of the individual.’”

As Co-Chairman of Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, I am well aware of this intimate connection between the protection of the vulnerable, and the protection of all human rights.

Many are already speculating as to what Pope Francis will say to Congress on Thursday morning. I hope that he will speak out in support of the important work we have done in the House to protect our children, and that he will say what he said as Archbishop of Buenos Aires in 2005: “‎Defend the unborn against abortion even if they persecute you, calumniate you, set traps for you, take you to court, or kill you. No child should be deprived of the right to be born, the right to be fed, the right to go to school.”

We will continue to defend every child, because every child is priceless, no matter how much money Planned Parenthood may try to make off of them.

18th annual Kennett Brewfest Kennett Square Borough takes step on tap for Oct. 10 to line up financing for new fire truck Tickets are still available for the Kennett Brewfest, which features tastings next month from more than 110 craft breweries.

“These are the most brewers we’ve ever had,” said Brewfest founder Jeff Norman.

The annual event, now in its 18th year, will be held Saturday, Oct. 10 from 2 to 6 p.m. It is located at 600 S. Broad St. in Kennett Square and benefits Historic Kennett Square (HKS), a Main Street organization that oversees and guides revitalization in and marketing of the borough.

“The festival has grown along with the craft beer movement,” said Mary Hutchins Executive Director of HKS. Eighteen years ago, Scott Hammond had opened the Half Moon Restaurant and Saloon in the borough and was serving craft beers – a novelty at a time when namebrand brews ruled the market.

Hammond and Norman and others created the Brewfest as a way to raise money for HKS’ predecessor, the Kennett Square Revitalization Task Force, according to Norman.

It was held during the borough’s annual Mushroom Festival, but quickly grew and was made its own event. Nine years ago it moved to the Genesis property on South Broad Street, where it has remained. These days, the borough which hosts the Brewfest is home to two brew pubs and a craft beer store, and the call for craft beers has never been bigger.

According to Norman, that is thanks in part to wholesale beer distributors, which make it possible for Brewfest organizers to include beers sold elsewhere in the nation.

“The wholesaling thing is how we really got to expand,” he said. “With the growth of the whole craft beer industry … we had to start going through wholesale.”

Local representatives of craft breweries throughout the nation then offer samples of their beers at the Brewfest, he said.

As it has grown, the Brewfest has become a reunion of sorts for those who attend year after year.

“I enjoy seeing the multigenerational nature of the event, some years there are families with three generations. Seeing the same happy ticket buyers year after year. The same is true of the wonderful, hardworking brewfest volunteers,” Hutchins said.

This year the Brewfest offers more breweries than ever before and a chance to taste the beverages of some of the top craft breweries in the nation, including Anchor Brewing of San Francisco; Ballast Point; Bell’s Brewing; Flying Dog Brewery of Frederick, Md.; and, of course, Victory Brewing Co., which opened a second brew pub location in Kennett Square.

“Our beer list is usually just superior to other fests,” said Norman, a self-proclaimed craft beer enthusiast.

For local craft beer aficionados, some participating breweries are familiar names – McKenzie Brew House in Chadds Ford, the newly opened Kennett Brewing Co., Conshohocken Brewing Co., Chaddsford Winery (it has a Hard Cider it makes), Lancaster Brewing Co., Susquehanna Brewing Co., and more.

But beer is not all that the Brewfest offers. Food and live music help create what

More than 110 craft breweries will be featured in this year’s event.

Hutchins’ describes as a tailgating-type atmosphere.

“It’s a wonderful outdoor experience that one can enjoy with friends, try delicious beer, enjoy great music, eat good food and get to know other fun people,” she said.

Food vendors include State Street Pizza, 2 Fat Guys, and Talula’s Table.

The $50 admission allows the ticket holder unlimited 2-oz. samples of beer.

The Brewfest also sells a connoisseur experience for $75, but those tickets sold out in a few minutes, Norman said.

Connoisseur ticketholders arrive before the doors open to the public, try specialty beers available just for them, and sample food from Talula’s.

Also at this year’s connoisseur event will be a judging of the best craft beer. Pillar Real Estate Advisors sponsors that award and will allow ticket holders to vote in real time using a

specialty phone application, Norman said. The winner will be announced before the connoisseur session ends.

Proceeds from the annual Brewfest benefit Historic Kennett Square and comprise a large part of its annual operating budget, according to Hutchins.

Those funds then allow HKS to “put on other event programming like the Third Thursdays as well as providing the budget for marketing the downtown.”

Historic Kennett Square also holds the annual Kennett Winterfest, now in its fourth year. It is usually held outdoors in February and is reminiscent of what the Brewfest was like in its early years, Norman said.

Tickets still remain for the Kennett Brewfest on Oct. 10.

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer When Kennett Square Borough Council approved the budget for 2015, officials knew that at some point during the year they would need to proceed on a request by the Kennett Fire Company to purchase a new $1.2 million ladder truck to replace the current ladder truck, which is 18 years old. The costs of purchasing the truck are being shared by the borough and neighboring Kennett Township.

At its meeting on Sept.

8, Kennett Square Borough Council approved an ordinance clearing the way for a general obligation bond to be issued eventually so that the borough can fund its share of the new fire truck.

Council member Geoff Bosley noted during the brief discussion about the ordinance that the fire company will be selling a truck that is being replaced, so the actual final costs to the borough will be less than the borough’s $600,000 share of the $1.2 million ladder truck.

At the same meeting, a public hearing was held regarding a proposed ordinance amendment to the section of the Municipal Code that pertains to accessory buildings. The regulations require that accessory buildings be no more than

50 percent in proportion to the main building so that the accessory buildings can’t be the dominant use on a site. The proposed ordinance amendment was reviewed by the county planning commission and was recommended for approval, and the changes were reviewed by the borough’s own planning commission, which also made the recommendation for approval. Borough council approved the ordinance amendment.

Kennett Square Borough Council also discussed a proposed ordinance to the Municipal Code pertaining to motor vehicles and traffic, metered and long-term parking.

“You’re not going to see many changes,” explained borough manager Joe Scalise.

“It’s more of an update that is long overdue.”

Borough council unanimously approved this ordinance change as well.

In her report to borough council, Mary Hutchins, the

executive director of Historic Kennett Square, reported that houppette, at 101 W. State St., and Blown Away, at 110 S. Union St., have both opened and are garnering a lot of positive attention.

In a final piece of business at the meeting, Scalise updated borough council about the study that Kennett Square and a handful of other local municipalities are partnering on to analyze the fire and ambulance services in the area. Scalise explained that Newlin Township has decided that it does not want to spend as much as the other municipalities on the study.

Initially, Scalise said, borough council authorized a $5,000 limit on the study. But after Newlin Township’s decision, the other five municipalities that are a part of the study will need to contribute $5,500 each.

Borough council approved the higher limit.

A poet gets face-to-face with Andrew Wyeth’s world

By John Chambless Staff Writer Welsh poet Tony Curtis has long been an admirer of Andrew Wyeth, but until Sept. 21, he had never visited the Brandywine River Museum of Art, in the heart of Chadds Ford, where Wyeth spent his life creating landmark works of art.

Just before noon on Monday, Curtis – who read from his poems at an afternoon program at the museum – was standing in the midst of “Natural Selections,” a show of sketches of plants

by Wyeth, and getting some insight from Virginia O’Hara, the curator of collections at the museum.

Curtis, who has published more than 30 books, including eight collections of poetry, had seen Wyeth’s works in several traveling exhibitions, beginning in 1980. But Monday was a feast of riches, beginning with guided tours of the galleries and a private behind-the-scenes look at the museum’s art storage area, and culminating with a tour of Andrew Wyeth’s studio.

“By accident, in the 1970s, my wife and I ended up in a babysitting group with an artist and his wife. We didn’t know much about art at all,” Curtis said. “But he lent me a Wyeth book. I responded to the intrigue, the narrative, the drama of Andrew Wyeth, as much as

anything. When you actually see the work, you realize that the technique is there. This is a Renaissance master, in a sense.

But first of all, the initial hook is the drama of the stuff.”

Years ago, for an American edition of one of his collections of poetry, Curtis thought that using Wyeth’s “Winter 1946” for the cover would be wonderful. So he took the direct approach and wrote a letter to the artist.

“Apparently, it wasn’t that common for him to allow people to use his works on covers,” Curtis said. “I don’t know – I just naively asked. Some obscure Welshman said, ‘Can we use this?’ and he agreed. I didn’t realize it was such a big deal.”

Wyeth had read the author’s poems before agreeing to let the art be used.

“He said some very nice things,” Curtis said. “He told me, ‘Rarely have I been so touched by a book of poems.’

Now, either he was being superpolite, which is an American flaw which we British don’t share,” Curtis added with a grin, “or I think he really did like them.”

Curtis writes elegantly about many subjects, but his seven Wyeth meditations are as sparing and precise as Wyeth’s paintings. The artist clearly felt strongly enough about

something. Remarkable.”

Catching sight of “Spring Fed,” Curtis gasped. The painting of an overspilling water trough and barn window is the subject of one of his masterful poems, also titled “Spring Fed”: The stone basin fills and fills from the swivel tap’s trickle.

The letters Curtis exchanged with Wyeth are now in the collection of the museum. He donated them when he came to present the reading on Monday.

“I realized I should bring them here,” he said.

Moving into the large Andrew Wyeth Gallery at the museum, Curtis had a satisfied

smile as he immersed himself in the monumental “Snow Hill” and the enigmatic “Spring” (1978), which depicts Wyeth’s dying neighbor, Karl Kuerner, seeming to appear out of the frozen earth. “Now, talk me through his one,” Curtis asked O’Hara, listening intently to the explanation. “It’s a very strange painting,” Curtis said. “It’s like he’s coming out of the freezer or

And it comes again the whole slow turning of the season – the softer touch of air, the shine on the bucket, the unclenching of things, the lapping of the water in the stone basin up to the rim, and the very first, this delicious overspilling onto our boots.

Curtis saw “Spring Fed” when it was part of a traveling exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts, but still marvels at it. “It’s about nothing, in a

sense,” he said. “It’s just this insignificant corner, but it’s about so much more.”

During his tour, Curtis asked about some of the people pictured in Wyeth’s portraits – such as James Loper, famously captured in Wyeth’s 1952 painting, and learned what details are known about the many people who sat for Wyeth.

Curtis had a special connection not only to Andrew Wyeth, but also Betsy Wyeth.

Mary Landa, the collection manager of the Andrew Wyeth Office at the museum, asked to take a photo of Curtis with the portrait of Betsy, titled “Maga’s Daughter,” that hangs in the Wyeth Gallery. “She wanted me to send her a photo,” Landa said.

Spending a day engulfed in all things Wyeth, Curtis was genial, enthusiastic and awestruck by turns. Standing in the place where the artwork he admires is so firmly rooted, Curtis drew a comparison between what he does and what Wyeth did.

“I make a living out of teaching poetry, and one of the things I do is say that poets and artists both do the same thing,” he said. “Each of us starts with a blank rectangle. And we choose which bits we need to fill.”

Vivid colors and interesting faces in ‘Eye to I’ show at Bookplace

By John Chambless Staff Writer The gallery at Bookplace in Oxford is packed with more than 40 colorful paintings by Judith Robb this month for her solo show, “Eye To I.” The vibrant palette and lively spirit of the works reflect a quirky artistic style, and there are several charming pieces in the show, which is roughly divided into portraits, animals, and scenes of Robb’s travels in Mexico and elsewhere.

The portrait “Mayan Woman” captures the striking profile and something of the spirit of the sitter, and “Cigar as an Accessory” shows the attitude of the subject, who has a cigar clamped in her mouth and sports an exuberant hat and necklace.

Among the larger works, “New Shoes” shows a woman perched on a stoop, looking down at a vividly patterned

spots of color and texture.

Among the animal portraits, there’s one of Robb’s dog, titled “A Good Dog,” that has a striking blue color and admirable presence. And Robb’s view of an Arabianstyle saddle is an interesting composition that, again, shows her strong use of color.

The overall spirit of “Eye to I” is celebratory, as the artist’s love of faces and brightly colored clothing fills the walls of the gallery.

“Eye to I” continues at Bookplace (2373 Baltimore Pike, Oxford) through Oct. 10.

The gallery and bookshop is open Friday through Sunday.

Oxford Arts Alliance shines with National Juried Exhibition

By John Chambless Staff Writer The Oxford Arts Alliance opened the doors to a wide range of artists for the National Juried Exhibition, and some 400 applied. Ultimately, 58 were selected, and the resulting exhibit, which continues through Oct. 13, seems broader and fresher as a result. It is certainly well balanced between sculpture, ceramics, paintings and photography, and the talent level is quite impressive throughout.

In the front window, George Lorio’s “Burgeoning” is an intricate assemblage of toy cars, arranged in intersecting spirals, spilling out of a large and a small mound – like ants swarming

out of anthills, or some sort of cyclone of playthings. The scorched appearance of the cars on the sides of the mounds gives the whole thing an air of sickly menace.

“Blacksun,” an installation

by Erica Loustau, is splendidly composed. Flocks of black birds on thin fishing lines criss-cross in midair and coalesce in a new direction towards the gallery wall. It is dramatic and intricate, and the soundtrack of bird sounds played on an iPod nearby adds a satisfying dimension.

“Koins,” an acrylic painting

by Bryan Cohen, is so vivid that it’s nearly three-dimensional.

The sly joke is that the fish are koi, and there are coins dropped into the shallow water below them.

‘Vital Support’ by Lauren Vianni.

Vitaly Semenchenko is one of the stars of the show. He gets a magical surface sheen in his sepia still life, “Samovar From Ukraine,” and his “Dried Spruce Treees” has a nearly Wyeth-like level of detail in its depiction of bark and branches. But Semenchenko pulls out all the stops in the huge charcoal selfportrait “Reflection,” in which the artist regards the viewer from within a Victorian mirror frame, with a wedding portrait behind him and a fresh canvas angled away from the viewer.

It’s a tour de force in scale, skill and layers of meaning.

Mariko Swisher has two splendid pottery pieces on view.

Don’t miss the tiny dog heads peeking out of the surface of the large painted vessel titled “Canines and Geometry.”

Lauren Vianni’s “Vital Support” and “Collected Tranquility” blend sea life and ocean waves in ceramics, and the raku fired vessels by Hailey Rai Salamone have fine, smoky surfaces.

There’s a fun acrylic abstract panel by Oxford artist Susan Melrath that has a retro 1950s feeling, and a huge, striking woodcut by Robin Gibson, “The Still Point,” that earns a standing ovation for technical difficulty with its interlocking layers of tiny bits of green, blue, red, yellow and gold that merge to

Michael Gaudreau’s night view, the charcoal “The Navy Bridge,” is soft and atmospheric.

Among the still lifes, Corien Siepelinga of Avondale deftly renders the delicacy of pear skin in “Out of the Box,” and Lorraine Haggard is equally fine in “Breakfast With Monkey.”

A small bronze sculpture of a dog, “Thistle,” by Rikki Morley Saunders, is typically masterful on a small scale, while Gregg Lyons goes big with “This Old House,” a raw wood cabinet perched on a base of spindles, brushes, bits of old toys, a Slinky and a few other things.

Small, indistinct, soft as a whisper, they have an undeniable presence despite almost not being there at all. Based on well-known artworks, they are like superenlarged bits of each work, or perhaps they are really the distilled essences. “Vermeer’s Girl With the Pearl Earring” will have you examining the surface to get your bearings. That’s a good thing, and this exhibit will reward repeated visits.

Gary Hartung, a paramedic with Southern Chester County EMS Medic 94, was recently recognized by the Board of Directors of the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) for achieving 30 consecutive years as a national registered EMTparamedic. This distinction is an honor held by few paramedics.

To maintain his status as a nationally registered EMTparamedic, Hartung completed, on a biennial basis, the most comprehensive recertification program for emergency medical technicians and paramedics.

He not only completed courses to refresh his fundamental knowledge and skills, but also attended a minimum of two hours per month of additional continuing education courses to advance his knowledge on new lifesaving skills.

By maintaining his National Registered status and completing regular continuing education courses, Hartung is among the few elite EMT-paramedics with

the most training in pre-hospital emergency care in the nation.

Hartung is a London Grove Township resident who has served as a paramedic with Southern Chester County EMS since 2004. Previously, he worked at the Chester County Hospital MEDIC 91.

The National Registry of

Emergency Medical Technicians serves as the national EMS certification organization by providing a valid, uniform process to assess the knowledge and skills required for competent practice by EMS professionals throughout their careers and by maintaining a registry of certification status.

Denim & Diamonds opens the fun at the annual Unionville Fair The Denim & Diamonds Dinner and Fundraiser event will once again serve as the popular prelude to the Unionville Community Fair. It will be held on Oct. 1 from 6:30 to 10 p.m. in the Red Barn on the grounds of Landhope Farms at Willowdale.

Participants will enjoy a dinner provided by several area restaurants and catering organizations -- Dilworthtown Inn, The Gables of Chadds Ford, The Kennett Inn, Hood’s BBQ, Sovana Bistro and Triple Fresh. A cake, created and served by Vanessa Ross Cakes,

will be a showpiece in itself.

Victory Brewing Company and Galer Winery will provide beer and wine.

Guests should wear their most comfortable denim, but women can add a little glitter to make the evening sparkle.

This unique fundraiser began seven years ago. Proceeds are used to help support not only the Unionville Fair -- to help offset costs of offering prizes to exhibit winners – but also to support the Kennett Area Community Service (which helps fight hunger and homelessness), the service organizations of the

Longwood and Po-Mar-Lin Fire Companies, and to the continued education of youth in agriculture.

Starting on Wednesday morning, Sept. 30, the hundreds of local gardeners, farmers and artists who enter the annual competitions at the fair begin to drop off their entries for judging. The judging takes place on Thursday, and those who come to the Denim & Diamonds event get to see the entries and award winners before anyone else. But the judging continues at the Denim & Diamond event, during

which local homemade beer and wine makers will have their entries judged and awarded.

Denim & Diamonds is supported by ServPro of Kennett Square/Oxford, The Kennett Area YMCA, Pam Hesler Photography, and Riley Riper Hollin, and Colagreco.

Families can take part in old-fashioned games like sack races as part of the new Barnyard Games at the fair on Saturday.

Families invited to the Barnyard Games Old-fashioned contests for kids and parents scheduled on Saturday afternoon When the parade ends on Saturday at the fair, visitors can take part in some brand new events this year.

The Barnyard Games will be under the direction of volunteers from the Kennett YMCA, giving families a chance to share some oldfashioned contests that bring parents and kids together.

Doug Nakashima, the executive director of the Kennett Area YMCA Branch, said there will be several stations set up from 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturday to keep children engaged after the parade ends.

While the details are still being worked out, Nakashima said, “There will be different games, like an egg roll, sack races, a basketball shooting station, maybe a water balloon toss – it will be a lot of fun games and activities that kids can participate in, as well as their parents.”

The YMCA has not been involved in the Unionville Fair in recent years, but Nakashima said the Y is looking forward to being a part of this fun activity, which replaces the Barnyard Olympics that used to be held in the Giggles and Grins area.

Those contests were more structured and timed, while the new Barnyard Games will be more open-ended.

“There will be farmtype games to fill the gap between the parade and later events, like the cow-milking contest and the rodeo that evening,” Nakashima said.

“Things like a corn-shucking contest, all at no cost. This is something the Y is happy to do. Whatever we can do to help the community, the Y is always here. We’re going to have some fun. It’s a new thing we’ll be doing, so come and enjoy it.”

Local News Decision on hold until Sept. 24

Both sides heard in request to open indoor gun range at former recreation center

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer A Sept. 16 public hearing asking London Grove Township to consider amending wording in its public zoning ordinance, that if passed would permit the opening of an indoor firearms shooting range in Avondale, was tabled by its supervisors until Sept. 24.

Representing his client, attorney Neil Land said that Remo Toto -- the owner of Remo Toto’s Mushroom Services in Avondale -- has purchased the site of the now-closed former Boomers indoor recreation facility on Route 41, for the purpose of opening an indoor firearms shooting range, a sporting goods retail store and a small restaurant.

In reviewing all township laws and regulations regarding a business of this kind, Land said that he saw some vagueness in the township’s zoning codes’ definition of what constituted “indoor recreational use,” and sought to get clarity from the township.

Land said that under the current definition, the township zoning officer said that an indoor gun range was permitted in the CI – or commercial district – in the township.

In response, Lancaster attorney

Jim Thomas represented three appeals filed by local residents, all of whom are expressing opposition to the establishment of an indoor firearms shooting range at the Boomers site.

Thomas is representing Melanie Keller, owner of the Westtown Children’s Academy; local landowner Nancy Truitt; and business partners Gerald Bowes and Tom Deigman, who currently own the driving ranges and miniature golf center located behind the Boomers facility.

The impetus to explore opening an indoor shooting range, Toto told the board of supervisors, came from his son Alex, who received as many as ten phone calls a day from gun owners looking for a suitable indoor location in the area.

After doing extensive research, Toto purchased the Boomers location, which closed in January.

“To me, this is hogwash,” Toto said. “What I’m doing is going to hurt nobody’s property value, whatsoever. We’ve got numerous support from the community, who are excited to see a shooting range go into this community.”

Toto described his proposed facility as a “mini Cabela’s” and that safety would be the top priority. Users of the facility would

only be able to use ammunition provided and sold at the facility, and users would be required to follow strict safety guidelines.

“When people park in our parking lot, they will have to carry their gun in their case, and use our ammo,” Toto said. “We want to eliminate the risk of anything happening.”

To date, Toto has gotten letters of approval from several local townships and police forces, as well as from Chester County Sheriff Carolyn “Bunny” Welsh.

“I want us to be entertaining, where women and children can come in and be entertained,” Toto said.

Matt Brinkerhoff, a consultant with Action Target, a nationallyknown builder of indoor firing ranges, is working with Toto on developing preliminary plans for the Boomers location. He provided the supervisors with a detailed description and design concept for the location, and said that the design of the facility is about 40 percent complete.

As of right now, Toto has signed no contracts to do the work that he described. To that end, Thomas took exception to Brinkerhoff’s testimony, which included the anticipated release of lead into the atmosphere, the

anticipated noise that would come from the indoor range, and other issues related to safety regulations as dictated by the National Rifle Association.

“We’re talking about an application for which we have seen no plans, for which there are no standards, for which there are no contracts,” he told the board.

“We’re just taking someone’s word here, and that’s the basic part of our objection. This is something that should be subjected to at least your conditional use hearing, or zoning board hearing, where these standards can be displayed.”

The board then heard the testimony of Frazer-based land planner David Babbitt, who looked at the proposed request to establish an indoor firing range at the Boomers site. Babbitt said that an indoor shooting range would be better suited in a township’s industrial district.

“An industrial district has all of the uses in a township that have unwanted aspects to them, including glare, smoke, noise.

That’s why they’re in industrial districts,” he said. “You have two such industrial districts in the township, and there is available land in each one.”

Thomas asked Babbitt if a per-

mit for a business of this kind should be granted as a use permitted by right, or require review by the Board of Supervisors, or Zoning Hearing Board. Babbitt responded by recommending that permission to open the business be permitted either by special exception, or by conditional use.

“These two zoning mechanisms provide an extra level of control and safety, over which property may be used, which building may be used,” he said. “Conditional use and special exceptions require a public hearing. Therefore, there is a notification process. The public gets to come out and learn about it, and gets to voice its concerns.”

Without special exception or conditional use, Babbitt said that it would be possible for Toto to open the shooting range without the board, Planning Commission, Zoning Hearing Board and the neighbors knowing about the range’s opening.

Babbitt said that a township should also tack on further regulations to a business, require a list

of standards for compliance, and should feel free to apply additional conditions to the granting of a conditional use, all in an effort to hold the applicant to his or her word.

Additional objections were heard from Truitt, Keller, Bowes and Deigman.

Truitt expressed concern that the indoor shooting range, if permitted, would be allowed to operate about 500 feet from the Westtown Children’s Academy -- owned by Keller -- which is located on Moxley Road, at the site of the former courthouse.

Given that the range’s parking lot would be near the State Police barracks in Avondale, Truitt said that it would create what she called a “perfect climate” for snipers to perch.

Keller told the board that the issue is one of perception.

“My concern is the impact that it’s going to have on my business, should [the indoor firearms shooting range be permitted],” she said. “Some people are not comfortable with guns, and

Classifieds they don’t want their kids in a school with guns right next to them. I have 30 kids right at that location, and I’m worried what would happen, should that gun range go in.”

“If we have a say in how we can affect the future, I’d like to do my best to make sure [the establishment of an indoor shooting range] doesn’t happen,” Deigman told the board.

In Land’s cross-examination, Deigman said that he did not recall a discussion he had with Land, when he, according to Land, told Land that he had no objection to the establishment of an indoor shooting range.

Bowes told the board that he has no objections about an indoor firing range in the township, except one: It’s in the wrong place.

“The problem is that people’s perception changes your ability to get value out of what you have,” Bowes said. “It belongs in another part of the township.

It’s not that I disqualify Mr. Toto or any of his family from being able to do this. It needs to be in a substantially different place, within the township, and I would be more than glad to cooperate any way that I could, because I do think it’s a needed use.”

As recommended by Chairman Richard Scott-Harper, the London Grove Board of Supervisors agreed to table any decision on the hearing, and agreed to hold a follow-up hearing on Sept. 24, beginning at 6 p.m., at the township building on Rose Hill Road in West Grove. A decision on the issue is expected to be reached at that time.

Seven standout athletes to be inducted into Oxford Area High School’s Sports Wall of Fame Oxford Area High School’s Sports Wall of Fame will grow by seven members as more local standouts are inducted during a ceremony at the school on Monday, Oct. 19. This is the 15th annual induction ceremony.

The 2015 class includes Vernon Ringler (Class of 1953), Gary Cummings (1954), Scott Fowler (1984), Beth Jackson Lynch (1981), Ryan Bogan (2005), Karly Herb (2008), and Thomas Grugan, a longtime athletic coach in Oxford.

Ringler and Cummings both enjoyed outstanding athletic careers while attending Oxford schools. Ringler participated in soccer, basketball, and baseball, receiving varsity letters in each of these sports. He was also the battery mate of Paul Poole on the baseball diamond. Poole is also an OAHS Wall of Fame recipient.

After graduating from Oxford, Ringler attended and graduated from Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster. He played baseball for three years, and was named the captain during his senior year. He was also a star on the soccer team for three years, receiving the Gerald Burholtzer Memorial Award for

his leadership and outstanding play.

Ringler joined the United States Marine Corps in 1960 and was deployed to the Mediterranean, where he had the great experience of playing soccer against the Sicilian Army team. Later that year, after returning to Camp LeJeune, North Carolina, he was a member of the 2nd Marine Division soccer team.

Their game in Norfolk, Virginia resulted in the championship of the Atlantic Fleet. This was an exciting game in which the lead changed hands four different times and ended regulation play tied at 5-5. Three minutes into the overtime, a Marine scored the winning goal.

Cummings played three years on the soccer team and four years on the baseball team for Oxford.

He was also the president of the Varsity Club while at Oxford.

Cummings was named the captain of the baseball team by coach Ed James, and was the center forward and left wing on the soccer team.

After Cummings joined the United States Army, he played Continued on Page 2C

Special teams plays propel Unionville to a 27-17 win

Boon runs for 2 TDs and returns a kickoff for another score

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer Two special teams plays— Brandon Boon’s 73-yard kickoff return touchdown and Trevor Gardiner’s blocked punt that he then returned 15 yards for another touchdown—propelled Unionville to a hard-fought 27-17 win over Avon Grove on Sept. 18.

Boon also contributed two rushing touchdowns and ran for 133 yards, most of them in

Avon Grove QB Shane McLaughlin turned in a fine performance, especially in the second half.

the second half, as Unionville held off a resurgent Avon Grove squad.

Avon Grove took the early lead, 3-0, after putting together a 12-play drive on the game’s opening offensive series. The drive took more than seven minutes off the clock.

Nate Jones, Avon Grove’s standout running back, carried the ball seven times during the drive, picking up 31 yards, including a nice 15-yard gain.

Jones also moved the chains on a crucial fourth-and-one play that gave Avon Grove the ball at the ten-yard line.

Unionville’s defense stopped Avon Grove right there, though, as they tackled Jones in the backfield on one play and cornerback Elan Nash defensed a pass by Avon Grove quarterback Shane McLaughlin.

Kicker Kevin Sheehan gave his team a 3-0 lead with a 30-yard field goal.

Unionville took the lead on the ensuing kickoff when Boon darted 73 yards for a touchdown.

Avon Grove’s offense spent most of the rest of the first quarter marching down the field, but when the drive stalled with just under a minute to play, the team was in the unlikely

The score remained 7-3 until Unionville’s special teams unit turned in another big play, this time deep in Avon Grove territory. Trevor Gardiner blocked a punt, picked up the ball at around the 15-yard line, and raced into the end zone with 4:03 left to play. The point-after kick failed, but Unionville still held a 13-3 lead, an advantage the Indians would carry into

the second half. In addition to the special teams plays, Unionville’s defense was doing a good job of limiting Avon Grove’s running attack.

Unionville quarterback Brendan Boyle engineered the team’s best drive of the game to start the third quarter. The big play was a 49-yard gain

by Boon as he eluded tacklers and raced past defenders for the big gain. Boyle also had two Continued on Page 2C

As Oxford’s Chief of Police, I pushed my body hard for years. With arthritis in nearly every joint, I couldn’t stand, walk or drive for long periods—much less enjoy hiking and camping. I knew I needed a knee replacement, but was afraid of the pain of recovering from surgery. So I went to Chester County Hospital. There, my orthopaedic surgeon, the nursing team and convenient on-site rehab helped me get my life back in motion—and free of pain.

Unionville Continued from Page 1C nice carries during the drive, including a 13-yard gain that moved the ball to the one-yard line. Boon got the call and powered his way into the end zone, making it 20-3.

During the last few years, Avon Grove would have struggled to come back against a good team like Unionville, but coach Harry O’Neill has the Red Devils in a much-improved position. There is no quit in the team, and soon Avon Grove was making a comeback.

With the Indians focused on stopping the run, McLaughlin started putting the ball in the air with more frequency. On second down from his own 28, the lefthanded quarterback did a nice job of scrambling to his left to avoid the pass rush, and then he tossed a beautiful 39-yard pass to tight end Chris Vahey. Three plays later, McLaughlin found the tight end again for a 13-yard play. Following a quick 12-yard

slant pass to Henry Buchanan, the Red Devils were at the sixyard line. Running back Kevin Francis bulled his way into the end zone, cutting the score to 20-10.

As the third quarter moved to the fourth quarter, Unionville embarked on a time-consuming drive that faltered at the 30-yard line of Avon Grove, but took valuable time off the clock.

On the next possession for Avon Grove, McLaughlin engineered perhaps the most impressive drive of the game, completing five of eight passes as Avon Grove moved from its own 25 to the 15 of Unionville.

The big play during the drive was a 13-yard pass to Buchanan that moved the chains on a fourthand-ten play. Then, on second down from the 15 of Unionville, McLaughlin dropped back to pass. He saw room to run and bolted 14 yards through the heart of Unionville’s defense to the one-yard line. Francis got the call on the next play and carried the ball into the end zone, cutting the lead to 20-17.

Running back Nate Jones helped Avon Grove get out to a 3-0 lead lead with some impressive running.

AGRA soccer results The Avon Grove Recreation Association began its 36th season with the following soccer results:

Brandon Boon returned a kickoff for a touchdown and ran the ball in two other times for scores.

There was 4:22 left to play in the game.

It took less than 90 seconds of game time for Unionville to respond with a 65-yard drive. Boon scored from three yards out, the third time that he found his way into the end zone, pushing Unionville’s lead to 27-17.

Avon Grove’s offense quickly marched down the field, but a pass by McLaughlin bounced off a receiver’s hands and Elan Nash intercepted the ball at the goal line for Unionville. With only 1:24 left in the game, the Indians just had to run out the clock to conclude the 27-17 victory.

The result left both teams with a 2-1 record as Avon Grove moves on to host a Sept.

25 game against Downingtown East, while Unionville goes on the road to face Bayard Rustin on the same night.
