Two town halls draw capacity audiences

Residents press stakeholders for answers in Cavalcante escape

By Richard L. Gaw

Staff Writer

From the moment the news broke announcing that 34-year-old convicted murderer Danelo Cavalcante had escaped from Chester County Prison on the late morning of Aug. 31, the magnitude of the incident began to reverberate around a county not used to having a dangerous criminal seeking freedom throughout its towns, municipalities, homes and backyards.

Cavalcante’s capture on

Sept. 13 may have served to quell the immediate fear of county residents, but over the last few weeks, the reverberation of their voices, their anger and their adamant wish to understand how this happened has only multiplied.

After more than three weeks of confining their opinions to social media, submitting letters to local newspapers and sharing their opinions at kitchen tables, they were recently invited to share their concerns in public. On Sept. 18 and 20, the Chester County Commissioners held

two town hall meetings at the Pocopson Elementary School that drew nearly 500 residents and cumulatively lasted more than five hours. At the initial meeting, the Chester County

On Friday, September 22, Oxford Borough Council held a special meeting to discuss the Sept. 14 fire on South Third Street that damaged businesses and left 90 people displaced. Leslie and Ricardo, two of the people who were displaced by the fire, asked a question at the meeting that is on the minds of a lot of people—what started the fire?

The investigation is ongoing and under the purview of Chester County Fire Marshal John Weer. He will continue to study this fire to arrive at an answer.

Also on hand was B. J. Meadowcroft, the deputy fire chief of Union Fire Company, who took Leslie

and Ricardo aside after the meeting to get their contact information and help them with their questions.

The young couple have two children, ages two and seven. Leslie works at Herr Foods and Ricardo has a long drive to Chester for work. They have an extended family close by which brings them comfort. Both are concerned about securing some of their important items from the fire, and once the clean-up begins, it is hoped that their items and important items belonging to other people will be found. The shock of the loss they incurred left them looking tired and anxious.

Ricardo described the experience.

“It felt like a dream,” he said. “We all went to bed at 10 and woke up to a loud knock on the door.

We could see the flames from the window. It took no time at all for the building to be gone. Material things mean nothing. I just thank God we made it out alive. We are so thankful to the police that helped us out.”

Both hope to find another apartment in Oxford since their children are in school here. They were thankful to all those who helped and continue to help them, and have been amazed at the community support that has been offered to the fire victims.

Council convened the special meeting to approve a motion to adopt Resolution #1365-2023 ratifying the Declaration of a Disaster Emergency, dated Sept. 14. They also approved a motion to adopt Resolution

The rebuilding of Oxford’s BID (Business Infrastructure District) will be a challenge after a devastating fire on Sept. 14 hit businesses in the downtown, but the BID is blessed that there are many community members who are invested in them.

The following businesses and nonprofits are deeply affected by the devastating fire: Dubarry of Ireland, Toot Sweets, Las Cazuelas, Maroon Hornet, Oxford Mainstreet Inc. (OMI), Outback Trading, Teen’s Place, and Vicki Vinton Art Studio.

OMI hasn’t skipped a beat even though it was one of those displaced businesses, and has quickly relocated to the second floor of the Oxford Area Historic Association’s new location in the former Union School building at 119 S. Fifth Street.

Mario Che-Tiul fled Missouri jail on June 1

After nearly four-month manhunt, prison escapee arrested in Avondale

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer

By Chris Barber Contributing Writer

At midmorning on Sept. 19, the 350-plus-year-old Penn Oak tree at the London Grove Friends Meetinghouse crashed to the ground.

As the word spread, many tears were shed.

Mark Myers, who has cared for the tree for the past 30 years or so, said this:

“People are in mourning as

you would be for a person who has been present. … It embodied the life and soul of the Meeting. Its branches reached out over the grounds as if to gather and hold the spirits of all who went there. Weddings and memorials were held under the tree, and the members met once a month in the summer under it for their meeting. This [tradition] – from what we can gather – was active for the

life of the tree for about 300 years.”

The Penn Oak came down fast after the initial crack was heard, but no one was hurt. Children attending the kindergarten housed at the meetinghouse were out for a walk but were a safe distance away. When someone from within heard a loud bang outside, the children were beckoned to return inside.

On Sept. 21, the 113-day nationwide manhunt for escaped convict Mario CheTiul ended when he was arrested at 1:30 p.m., when the U.S. Marshals Service surrounded the property near an apartment Che-Tiul had been living in.

He was captured without incident after authorities were led to suspect that CheTiul had been living in the borough, based on an investigation by the Eastern Pennsylvania Violent Crimes Fugitive Task Force in Philadelphia.

“This latest capture of an escaped prisoner from Missouri should underscore a very clear message, and

one that applies globally: our efforts never cease, ever,” said Eric Gartner, United States Marshal for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

The 34-year-old Che-Tiul, who had been charged with incest and first-degree child molestation, escaped from the Barry County Jail in Cassville, Mo. on June 1, and was the only one of seven prisoners who fled from the correctional facility that day to not be captured. According to authorities, Che-Tiul lured two correctional officers into his jail cell by pretending to be sick. The officers were then ambushed by the six other inmates, who then broke out of the jail with keys they had stolen from the officers, who sustained injuries.

Commissioners and other stakeholders acknowledged their role in not providing adequate security measures at the prison, and that lingering community tensions about Cavalcante’s escape are justified. They invited representatives from Holcomb Behavioral Health Systems to both town hall meetings in case anyone in attendance wished to obtain personal counseling services in the aftermath of the Cavalcante prison escape.

‘The systems that were in place failed’

Just as he did two days before, Acting Warden Howard Holland offered his apologies again on Sept. 20, saying that even though he had only begun his position one day before Cavalcante’s escape, he takes full responsibility for the security inefficiencies at the prison.

“The systems that were in place failed,” said Holland, who introduced several new initiatives the prison will soon undergo, including improvements in security, technology and operations, and the roof enclosure of its eight exercise areas. “We’re going to correct them. I am

going to have to make sure that this community is safer.”

After Holland’s presentation, several members of the audience fired questions and comments at the Commissioners, Holland, District Attorney Deb Ryan and Bill Messerschmidt, director of the Chester County Department of Emergency Services. One resident called for the prison to fill the 58 current correctional officer vacancies, while another criticized ReadyChesCo.org. for its ineffectiveness in providing timely updates during the time of Cavalcante’s escape.

“Do you understand that this is not an issue that will be fixed with incremental additions, incremental layers of razor wire or incremental alert systems?” one resident said. “It’s a fundamental problem of public safety being seriously compromised by the failure of the state and the county’s administrative and strategic programming to keep this under control.”

‘You failed us’

The general tone of the Sept. 20 town hall meeting reflected the topics and emotions expressed by residents who attended the Prison Board’s meeting earlier that day in West Chester, when

the board gave approval to the construction of a roof enclosure on the eight exercise yards at the prison. They broached several topics that have served as the general narrative of the last two weeks, as well as shared their frustrations that proper measures at the prison would have prevented Cavalcante from escaping.

Recalling the effective use of a canine known as Yoda in helping to capture Cavalcante on Sept. 13, a Tredyffrin Township resident said that if the county had reinstated its canine program – one that was abandoned in 1986 – the capture “would have ended much sooner and probably saved million dollars, and perhaps border patrol would not have been necessary,” she said. “I have learned a lot about future plans at this meeting, but in spite of all the very costly renovations, currently today I do not feel safe anywhere in this county.

“If we had appropriate security, staffing, upkeep and oversight by the Prison Board, perhaps [these planned upgrades] wouldn’t be needed.”

“I am livid,” a Westtown Township resident told the board. “I appreciate your starting out and acknowledging the mistakes that were

made and the bad judgement that was involved, but it’s a really long list. You had one job to do – which was to ensure the safety of the citizens and manage the prison properly – and you failed to do so.

“We can’t afford another mistake like this. The havoc that wreaked its way across the whole community is not acceptable.”

Perhaps the most pointed criticism levied against the Prison Board was articulated by local business leader and Treddyffrin Township resident Guy Ciarrochi, who unsuccessfully ran for the U.S. House of Representatives in 2022 against U.S. Rep. Chrissy Houlahan.

“Allow me to cut to the chase. You failed us,” Ciarrochi told the board. “You failed us in your duties to protect us – to keep the bad guys away from the good guys. My comments aren’t personal. I am sad to be here. I am disappointed to have to come with so many other citizens to point out the obvious.”

While thanking law enforcement for their work in apprehending Cavalcante, Ciarrochi said that the prison should refuse to “accept murderers and rapists” until the renovations of the prison are completed in six to nine

months.

“If you are forced to take them, will you guard them 24-7” Ciarrochi asked.

“Deny them outdoor exercise? What are you going to do about the now staffing shortage emergency? What are the steps you are taking? Are you reaching out to the [Fraternal Order of Police] to retired military, to retired prison guards? Have you talked to private security firms? Are you treating it like an emergency? Will you adopt the policy to make sure citizens are notified ASAP and that the picture of the escapee is given to us immediately?

“Your promises are making small steps forward, but frankly, they are too little and unfortunately, too late. Respectfully, one gets the sense that you’re making these changes because Cavalcante got out. If he had not, would you be doing the things the warden has asked?”

As they had done throughout the two-week manhunt for Cavalcante, community leaders continued to adopt a conciliatory tone in an effort to regain the trust of the public.

“I just want to express on behalf of the county how deeply sorry we are for everything that happened

to the community,” said Commissioner Michele Kichline at the Sept. 20 town hall meeting. “To know that the citizens I was elected to serve felt unsafe and traumatized is fairly and deeply unsettling. The county is committed to bringing you better security in the future. I know it will not be easy to get over this, and we’re going to do what we can to provide common sense, good solutions.”

County Commissioner Josh Maxwell addressed “what the communities in Chester County have been going through for the last threeand-a-half weeks, something we never expected to happen here in Chester County, a place where people moved to be and feel safe.”

“We all share our deepest sympathy for what the community went through during that time,” Maxwell said.

It was announced that town hall meetings will soon be held in northern Chester County, near the area where Cavalcante was captured.

Board OKs design to fully enclose Chester County Prison exercise yards

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer

Project to cost between $2.5-$3.5 million and be paid for with federal funding; expected to take 6-9 months to complete both by way of crab walking up the walls of a narrow vestibule.

In one of the first actions designed to secure the Chester County Prison after the Aug. 31 prison break by Danelo Cavalcante led to a two-week manhunt for the convicted killer, the Chester County Prison Board on Sept. 20 unanimously approved a design that will fully enclose the prison’s eight exercise areas.

The meeting, held at the Chester County Commissioners’ Meeting Room in West Chester, featured a presentation by TranSystems, a Kansas City, Mo.-based engineering and design company, who presented three options for securing the prison’s exercise yards, each designed to eliminate the security flaws that allowed Cavalcante – as well as prisoner Igor Nolte in May – to escape the prison,

Introduced by Brian Endler, vice president of architecture and engineering at TranSystems, the chosen option will replace fencing with 18-foot-high masonry security walls; construct an elevated roof structure that will fully cover the entirety of the yards; install a ribbon of secure screening at top of wall for ventilation and natural daylight; install LED lighting that will be built into ceilings; create a new sallyport to prison exits; remove existing shed roofs; close off the area at the entrance door to the yard with a security metal soffit; and remove all basketball hoops.

The option the board selected was also TranSystems’ preferred choice, Endler told the board.

“It is the option that solves all of your problems, we

believe, with a wall instead of fence, a solid roof, and the fact that it is fully enclosed,” he said.

Endler told the board that the company was invited to tour the Chester County Prison shortly after Cavalcante escaped and made several observations of its infrastructure.

“The yards don’t have any roofs or any caps, so once you get up there, you have breached a secure perimeter,” he said. “The yards are fenced and not walled, which also poses a security risk. The yards do not have what we would call a clean layout or design, and with that stair tower jutting out in the yard, there are some hidden corners that are problematic and there are some climbable features that you don’t want.”

Endler said the cost of the project to enclose the eight exercise areas will be between $2.5 million and

$3.5 million and will take between six and nine months to complete. Board member Josh Maxwell said that the funding for the project will be paid for through a grant from the American Rescue Plan Grant. The Prison Board approved a $94,000 contract with TranSystems for the conceptual design, design and construction management related to the prison enclosure project. The company, which has offices in Pennsylvania, has designed over 150 correctional facilities in the U.S., including facilities in 41 counties in the commonwealth.

Endler said that the next steps for the construction of the enclosed roof will be to conduct an in-depth survey of the area that will include taking measurements, proceed into design and provide the design to a contractor who will be selected by county officials. The Prison Board also agreed to TranSystem’s tem-

porary security options for the prison’s exercise area, which include removing all

basketball hoops; staffing the exercise area and the cell tower with direct supervision; and close off the area above the yards’ entrance doors with a security metal ceiling. Endler said that the temporary solutions would take a few weeks to finish.

Board supports portion of acting warden’s wish list

During his presentation, Howard Holland, the acting warden for Chester County Prison, said that in the aftermath of the Cavalcante escape, he pledged to be clear and transparent, and forge new relationships while rebuilding old and current ones.

Holland listed several infrastructure improvements that have been made at the prison since Bolt’s escape in the spring that included two areas of vulnerability: adding extra razor wire on the exterior of the exercise yards and purchasing $155,000 worth

Borough manager Pauline

Garcia-Allen explained, “There is still a lot of work to do so we are letting the declaration remain open-ended.”

In addition to the 90 people who were left displaced by the fire, four parcels owned by three property owners had to be demolished because of the significant fire damage, which is why the declaration is left open-ended.

“We met with property owners about the clean-up, plus safety and environmental issues,” Garcia-Allen said. “There seems to be a consensus between the own-

“We are very comfortable in our new location and we thank OAHA for extending a welcome,” new OMI Executive Director Julia Ehrhardt explained.

As the new director, Ehrhardt had just days on the job when the fire struck.

As of Thursday, Sept. 21, Ehrhardt, working with other displaced businesses, was coordinating the efforts of getting BID members assistance with the Small Business Association (SBA).Their meeting ran from noon to 8 p.m. at the Lighthouse Youth Center at 245 Commerce Street. They are also helping them with the insurance deductible.

Ehrhardt said, “This is part of the Chester County

ers to allow the borough to do the project, hoping it will go faster. The property owners really have the final say. They are in charge of removing the debris, not the borough. We are also working with multiple insurance companies.”

Council also expressed their concern about the area with the storms that were expected over the weekend.

“Obviously, there are safety and environmental issues. DEP also is watching this and they have their own criteria that we have to meet,”

Garcia-Allen said.

In the event the borough will be doing the clean-up, they have already reached out to three companies to secure quotes. The borough would not have to put out a bid for the project because of the emergency declara-

SBA was present to provide business specific assistance.”

OMI will also continue to announce more details about First Friday, a t-shirt fundraiser and the bingo fundraiser. They are hoping that the Bingo event will be sold out by the time this story goes to press.

Ehrhardt learned firsthand how giving and supporting the Oxford community is during the immediate aftermath of the fire.

tion. Borough engineers will be reviewing those quotes. If the borough is enlisted for the project, the costs will be split between the property owners. Council is hopeful they will have a decision sooner rather than later.

Meadowcroft said, “It was one of the most devastating fires I’ve seen. It was made more difficult due to the age of the structure and the proximity to other buildings. We used two million gallons of water to fight the fire. After several hours of fighting the fire, we depleted the borough water and brought in several tanker trucks.”

Garcia-Allen said, “Our water system is robust, but this was beyond normal. We asked people to conserve water over the weekend until our system was back

If there has been a silver lining in the aftermath of the fire, it is in the form of the publicity that Oxford has received. The tri-state area was privy to numerous interviews with what makes Oxford a great place to live, work and play. From interviews with police officers who were instrumental in saving lives as they ushered residents out of a burning building, to the Union Fire Company that worked long hours to put out a fire that could have been much worse.

Numerous local agencies, including SILO, the Lighthouse, Neighborhood Services Center, LCH, the Oxford Ministerium, businesses and more are working to assist those during their time of need.

to normal.”

She added, “The fire underscores the importance of what we are trying to do in the borough. We are constantly working on updating our ordinances. This is why we have such a strong emphasis on codes. The properties that were destroyed were grandfathered in.”

“Grandfathered in” means that existing property is not subjected to the latest ordinance or law but can instead comply with pre-existing laws.

“As the properties are rebuilt, we can bring the buildings up to existing codes,” Garcia-Allen explained. “And we will.” Borough Council and the borough manager are extremely grateful to Union Fire Company and their

Emergency Management Services and the Red Cross played an integral part in navigating unchartered waters in the first hours and days after the fire.

Christine Grove, the director of the Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce, said, “Half of my heart is in pieces while the other half is full of gratitude with how much our community loves and supports Oxford.”

And it wasn’t just this local community. Grove explained that the football team from Solanco High School in Quarryville donated many much-needed items to the displaced residents. Grove’s office was filled with donations of every kind, and Grove will continue to spend countless hours connecting donations to those in need.

volunteers who battled this fire, as well as the surrounding fire companies and the Oxford Police Department, who all assisted on the scene.

Garcia-Allen was impressed with all of the people that showed up to help.

“It was amazing to see the response of everyone in the community. They distributed water and food to everyone. They didn’t need to be asked,” she said.

Garcia-Allen thanked John Reynolds, Chester County Emergency Management Officer and the Union Fire Company for helping her navigate through the fire.

“I’m grateful to the Public Works Department and the Water Department. Our council is also very supportive and they work so well

“So many of our neighbors in the area have reached out asking how to help assist the families and businesses that lost everything in the fires,” Grove said.

Ehrhardt said she was looking for a purpose in her life when she took on this new role.

“Now, I have found my purpose,” she said. “This is the beginning of a great adventure.” She acknowledged that Oxford has suffered a great loss as a result of the fire.

“There is a loss of history and a loss of livelihood. Many people have lost their employment. All of our lives have changed,” she said. She switched gears and spoke about the resiliency of the town.

“Oxford is highly resil-

with everyone involved. Going forward it will be one step at a time. The best thing I can do is to ensure our entire staff has the tools, resources and processes they need to do their job and to know that they are valued,” she said.

“The job continues,” she said. “Because of a crisis like this, we continue to work on securing grants to help all of us do our jobs. We have a $2.1 million grant for the theatre which is still planned. We have another $1 million Community Revitalization Program Grant for Niblock Alley.”

The devastation from the fire was enormous, and the work to rebuild will continue for months, if not years, but Oxford, as always, remains strong, officials said.

ient,” she said. “The diverse community came together and helped everyone after the fire. Strangers on the street offered help. The fire department and police department were amazing. The borough government is helping greatly. Everyone contributed any way they could and still are. That is the strength of this community. Oxfordians are people of action. Now we get up and get going. I have very little doubt that this town will reflect upon this and be stronger.”

The hard work begins. The demo site must be secured to keep everyone safe. Now is the time to rally around the businesses.

Fallen Oak...

In just seconds, the tree, which grew beside the meetinghouse parking lot, hit the ground, causing only damage to the roof of a nearby garage.

The London Grove Meeting Penn Oak is listed as the Champion White Oak in Pennsylvania because it is the biggest. Its species name is querous alba. It was 82 feet tall and had a spread of 120 feet. Its circumference was last measured at 22 feet, 2 inches.

Attempts to measure its age technologically have been only approximate because of its large size and dense interior, putting it at about 350 years. It has been widely credited as being present when William Penn came to Pennsylvania in 1682.

Ironically, in its death, now that the rings are visible, they can be counted and the number of years closer to exact number can be determined.

Myers said through his frequent observations and studies to date, he believes

the tree was closer to 400 years than 300.

The London Grove Friends Meeting is host of the London Grove Kindergarten, and has been for generations. When the word spread that the tree had come down, kindergarten graduates of all ages spoke of their memories there and, in many cases, those of their children and grandchildren.

Head of School Deni-Lin Lane is a graduate of the kindergarten, as are her children. She said, “I can’t imagine not seeing it there.”

The kindergarten and its accompanying pre-school are widely known for embracing the environment and passing on a love of nature to its students. Many of their activities—storytelling, yoga, picnics and recreation—were based around the tree.

Lane said the students routinely went out to sketch the tree during three seasons in observation of the changes in its appearance.

After the crash, she said many of the children had tears. In the tree’s honor they talked about how it loved,

protected and gave back to them. They placed flowers beside it.

Bennett Baird, the chairman of the Properties Committee at the Meeting, said the tree was in relatively good shape above ground, but that mushrooms “as big as one or two feet” were growing at its base, an indication of rotting in the root system.

“We knew there was a problem because mushrooms around the base indicated rotten wood underneath. The roots were not enough to support it,” he said.

Myers said generations of Meeting members who are now buried in its graveyard had expressed the hope to live as long as they could but, “They didn’t want to outlive the tree.”

Throughout its recent years the tree has been well cared for – almost pampered. Longwood Gardens has provided watering, feeding and trimming as well as installing cables to alleviate the strain of heavy limbs on those below them.

Three prisoners were immediately apprehended and three more were captured the next morning.

Meanwhile, Che-Tiul stole clothes and changed out of his prison uniform as he was leaving the jail and began a threeand-a-half-month escape. According to Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Robert Clark, Che-Tiul had been employed as a laborer in Chester County.

Che-Tiul was charged as a fugitive of justice and is being temporarily housed at Chester County Prison, where he is being reprocessed before he is taken back to Missouri. If he is convicted of molestation and incest, Che-Tiul could face a maximum penalty of 30 years.

was brought up immediately after the news broke of the fall was whether the tree had offspring and if acorns could be planted to grow the tree’s children.

Going back years, people have planted its acorns and grown Penn Oak offspring. One Unionville graduate from the 1960s said he recalled his father planting the Penn Oak acorns in the front yard. Many others have mentioned on social media that they too have Penn Oak children in their yards.

On the Meetinghouse property there are three of the tree’s children grown from acorns, one of them alongside the parking lot sign that welcomes people to the kindergarten.

The Eastern Pennsylvania Violent Crimes Fugitive Task Force is a team of law enforcement officers led by U.S. Marshals in Philadelphia and surrounding counties and is charged with tracking down and arresting violent crime fugitives. Membership agencies include the Philadelphia

Meeting clerk and spokesman Terry Anderson added that because of cross pollination which begets acorns, the genetic code of the acorn babies is a hybrid of the parent tree. There are some other offspring that bear its pure genetics made from slip-cutting a small branch and attaching it to another parent tree and permitting it to grow.

On the meetinghouse property there is in fact a slip-cutting of a Salem Oak from New Jersey growing. That tree, Myers said, was even older than the Penn Oak and will probably grow to the size of its parents.

Anderson also said the many people expressed interest in making objects out of

the wood which in some way would honor its life. She said a committee has been formed to decide what the destination of the tree’s remains will be, but it will take time. She issued this statement:

“We are very sad. It was a spiritual connection. We ask that people respect our privacy and the Quaker process as we finalize the decision to decide how to use it. We are aware of the many requests for wood and will be deciding how to accommodate them in a way that honors the tree.”

The tree grew at the meetinghouse in West Marlborough Township beside the parking lot at the intersection of Newark and Street roads.

An open letter to the Chester County Prison Board

As each one of us -- every member of the Chester County community -- slowly begins to sift through the smoldering aftermath of the two weeks when a convicted murderer attempted to slither his way to freedom past our homes and neighborhoods, the magnitude of Danelo Cavalcante’s escape from the Chester County Prison on Aug. 31 remains on the scale of an earthquake.

In the two weeks since he was captured in northern Chester County on Sept. 13, the sediment of memory and emotions from Cavalcante’s presence on the periphery of our lives still lingers, mostly in anger and targeted to you, the county officials -- appointed and elected – who are charged with the responsibility to keep us safe. On three occasions in the last week, you have given us the public forum to express this anger – on Sept. 18 and 20 at the Pocopson Elementary School and on Sept. 20 at your meeting – and each time, the veracity of our collective voices has articulated our rage and appointed you – the members of the Chester County Prison Board – as the chief cause. No; none of you assisted in Cavalcante’s now infamous crabwalk up the walls of the prison. None of you cut the reinforced razor wires -- placed there after Igor Nolte’s escape in May – in an effort to provide Cavalcante with assistance. True to the altruistic mission of the Chester County Prison Board, every one of you is a proven leader in this community and deserves accolades for your singular duties. And yet, the nightmare of Danelo Cavalcante, one that will linger in our minds for quite some time, lay at your feet. Somehow, the prison has a deficit of 58 correctional officers but despite those exceedingly low numbers, the prison continues to accept murderers and rapists.

Somehow, there was only one officer operating the cell tower at the time of Cavalcante’s escape. Somehow, despite the public’s outcry to do so, the prison no longer has a canine unit – which ultimately proved invaluable in the capture of Cavalcante.

Somehow, it took the escape of a convicted murderer – and the shock waves of embarrassment that have come from it – for your board to finally approve the construction of a project estimated between $2.5 and $3.5 million that will fully enclose the eight exercise areas at the prison.

Somehow, the long menu of requests by Acting Warden Howard Holland at your Sept. 20 meeting to improve the security at the prison – while prudent and likely very effective – seem too late in coming, like a bandage applied to an already permanent wound.

Beginning at the Sept. 13 press conference that gave details on Cavalcante’s capture and over the course of the last two weeks, you continue to heap deserved praise on the more than 500 law enforcement officials – local, state and national – who, under the leadership of Lt. Col. George Blevins brought Cavalcante to justice. Tucked within the deep recesses of our collective conscience, however, is the firm knowledge that the people of Chester County would have been spared this 14-day manhunt if stricter security regulations and infrastructure at the prison had already been in place.

It is time for the Chester County Prison Board to end its apology tour. None of us have the patience to sit through another “We feel your pain” speech. Instead, use these coming months to provide a sturdy platform for your acting warden to implement every one of his initiatives to make Chester County Prison, in words he used at a town hall meeting last week, “the best prison in the State of Pennsylvania.”

While Howard Holland may be new to the Chester County Prison, he is not new to law enforcement or to the modern innovations of security, and while it is perhaps preliminary to say so, the short- and longterm visions he expressed at your meeting last week are on point to pull a tired and staggeringly inefficient prison into the new century.

Basic Education Funding Commission begins hearings

State Sen. Lindsey M. Williams, the Minority Chair of the Senate Education Committee, recently issued the following statement after the first hearing of the Basic Education Funding Commission (BEFC) in Allentown:

“Today, the Basic Education Funding Commission held its initial hearing. Our first testifier, Dr. Matthew Kelley, Assistant Professor at Penn State University, laid out updated adequacy targets for each of our Pennsylvania school districts. These adequacy targets represent an important first step in determining what each district would need to spend to ensure that students who walk through their doors receive a comprehensive, effective, and contemporary education. The targets take into account many factors that students require to succeed in school and then make adjustments based on individual districts and student needs.

“This is the first time since the Commonwealth Court decision that we are having a conversation about adequacy and equity in education for all of Pennsylvania’s students.

Pennsylvania’s Founders included provisions for a thorough and efficient system of public education in our Constitution for a reason. They realized something that we often take for granted—that an educated citizenry is essential to the future of our Commonwealth. Right now, the General Assembly is violating the constitutional rights of all of our students. Today marked the start of the conversation around how we remedy that constitutional violation.

“A final report of the BEFC must address adequacy and equity targets and put a realistic plan in place to achieve these benchmarks. While the BEFC and resulting report are important, they cannot possibly address everything that is necessary to create a safe and inclusive system of public education that welcomes all students – no matter their race, creed, identity, or ability. We need to address funding Career and Technical Education (CTE), Pre-K, transportation, building start times, and more. We also cannot ignore the impacts our ongoing disinvestment in higher education has on our

K-12 spaces, and how that has impacted our teacher pipeline and the number of other qualified professionals available to our students.

“The goal and purpose of public education is fundamental and the factors that impact it are innumerable. Students need a system that meets their unique needs. And while the numbers that come out of these hearings might seem overwhelming at first glance, it’s important to know that they aren’t an attack on working families—these dollars are meant to uplift working families.

“Pennsylvania’s budget consistently leaves money on the table through policies that prioritize corporate interests over people. We could close the Delaware Loophole, which allows companies operating in Pennsylvania to avoid paying state corporate income taxes. We could tax so-called nonprofits like UPMC. We could legalize and tax adult-use cannabis and institute a severance tax on natural gas extraction. We leave billions on the table in revenue that could improve the quality of life of not only our students,

but all Pennsylvanians. What’s worse, we do not have strong protections for those who come forward to report the waste, fraud, and abuse of state taxpayer dollars that we do collect— so when those dollars are misspent, we do not have a mechanism to recapture them.

“Budgets are moral documents, and the recent Pennsylvania budgets simply do not reflect the values that our founders or current Pennsylvanians hold. We have not invested in our students or our futures. Instead, we are protecting corporate interests and protecting health care giants, all while not taking common sense steps to make sure that we are not wasting taxpayer money. This is not how Pennsylvanians would choose to spend their money—and it is not how Harrisburg should decide to spend it for them.

“It is long past time to address the inequitable and underfunding of Pennsylvania’s public schools. I truly believe that every single one of our students can be successful—but that cannot happen without equitable and adequate financial support.”

Grant gives mushroom farmers in Chester County access to educational programs

Chester County mushroom farmers will have access to educational programming through the American Mushroom Institute (AMI) thanks to federal grant funding, U.S. Rep. Chrissy Houlahan and State Senator Carolyn Comitta announced.

“As the mushroom capital of the world, Chester County’s mushroom farming industry is a driving force for our economy and a vital part of our community. With this funding, mushroom growers will have access to programs to help keep it that way by effectively assessing costs and situating their farms for long-term success,” said Comitta, who serves on the Senate Agriculture Committee.

AMI was awarded nearly $85,000 to help educate farmers on price assessing and input costs to better project expenses and improve sustainability.

“I am so glad to see this federal support coming to Chester County,” said U.S. Rep. Chrissy Houlahan. “I have always been proud that our community grows the best mushrooms in the world, and more of them than anywhere else in the

country. I will continue to advocate for our farmers and the programs that support them. I have already called for full funding of the Specialty Crop Grant Program in this year’s appropriations process, so that the USDA can continue to support the exciting research and educational work happening in Southeastern Pennsylvania and across the country.

It’s not a surprise that the American Mushroom Institute is being recognized as a national leader and I look forward to the progress they will make with this well-deserved grant.”

The project is one of 11 Pennsylvania projects awarded more than $1 million in funding through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Specialty Crop Grant Program. The program was created to enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops such as fruits, vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits, horticulture, and nursery crops.

“Sustaining farming businesses increasingly requires both audited sustainable practices for farms’ foodservice and retail customers as well as information and

education for consumers,” said Rachel Roberts, AMI president. “Mushroom growing is an inherently circular economy based on mushroom composting, which recycles agricultural byproducts and mitigates direct land and water impact of other farming sectors.

But industry-wide investment is needed to assure that farmers can consistently predict the costs of, and afford to implement, sustainable practices.

“Investment is also needed to then accurately assess and promote their ESG positions, accordingly. With this grant, USDA

and PDA have enabled that investment and much-needed work, through AMI.” Specialty Crop Blocks Grant funding is administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. This year’s funding round focused on marketing, research, grower education, and sustainability for mushrooms, apples, floriculture, pumpkins, and other crops of which Pennsylvania ranks among the top producers of in the nation.

Blue Demons to host Interboro in Sept. 29 Homecoming game

Harris scores 4 TDs in Downingtown East’s 42-0 win over Kennett

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer

Moments after seeing his team soundly defeated by a far more talented club last Friday night, Kennett High School Head Football Coach Lance Frazier gathered his dejected club at the South Street side of Kennett Stadium and looked into their eyes.

“So, you guys ready to run the table?” he asked them. “If we run the table, we qualify for playoffs. Who’s with me?” Frazier did not have to ask the Blue Demons twice.

This singular buy-in of commitment to go undefeated for the remainder of the 2023 season came on the heels of Kennett’s 42-0 loss to undefeated Downingtown East, who dominated both sides of the ball throughout a game that was highlighted by four rushing touchdowns by halfback Ayden Harris.

The Cougars’ scoring came frequently, and it began early. On the second play of the game, Downingtown East capitalized on a bad snap to recover the ball on the Kennett 14-yard line. A pass from quarterback JJ Helverson to fullback Michael Brown moved the ball to the 8-yard line, and with 10:45 remaining in the first quarter, Harris bullied his way to the end zone that

jumped the Cougars out to a 7-0 lead.

After inheriting the ball at midfield on their next possession, Harris picked up 12 yards on a fourth-andone at the 41-yard line. A pass to wide receiver Caden Walsh moved the chains to the 5-yard line, and with 6:50 remaining in the quarter, Harris ran untouched into the end zone to push the Downingtown East lead to 14-0.

On Kennett’s next set of plays, freshman quarterback Garrett McCracken (who was subbing for starter Chase Patalano, who was injured during a 38-0 loss to Bayard Rustin on Sept. 14) flicked a pass over the middle that was picked off by linebacker Owen Lammy and returned to the 23-yard line, that set up a TD strike on the first play from Helverson to fullback Ryan McSherry with 5:35 left in the quarter. The Cougars continued their early scoring barrage on Harris’s 30-yard touchdown run with 3:25 left in the quarter, who then followed it up with an 8-yard TD run with 1:31 left that gave Downingtown East an insurmountable 35-0 lead at the start of the second quarter.

Before halftime – and a scoreless second half when the mercy rule went into effect and the Cougars politely chose to sit on the

ball – Downingtown East tacked on its last touchdown when back-up quarterback Mason Ippolito finished off impressive runs by Lammy to plunge one-yard for the score with 8:54 left in the first half.

Despite the loss, Frazier said he and his coaching staff got an early preview of what the Kennett football program will look like in the coming seasons.

“I saw a lot of young guys get an opportunity to play,”

he said. “We have a lot of starters out, and all we wanted to see as a coaching staff was to see who was going to step up and surprise us. In the second half, we saw guys begin to compete and see what is down the road for them.

“Our kids give us every last drop of what they have in them, year in and year out, and we’re just blessed to have guys who play hard for us.”

For Kennett (2-1 in the

Ches-Mont American and 2-3 overall), the task of going undefeated for the remainder of the season and qualify for post-season play will be a mountainous pursuit, as they will have to face conference foes Unionville, West Chester East, Sun Valley and Great Valley, as well as Interboro at Homecoming on Sept. 29.

“We have to take one game at a time,” Frazier said. “We have Interboro next Friday for Homecoming, and they

are physical, they are tough and they have size, which is something we don’t have, so we are going to prepare for that game like we are preparing for a playoff game.”

Downingtown East, now 5-0 with a share of the ChesMont National Division lead with undefeated rival Downingtown West, will host Oxford on Sept. 29.

ADELINE AGNES PERNA CORBY MERLINI

Adeline “Alice” Agnes Perna Corby Merlini, beloved wife, mother, sister, and aunt to many generations of nieces and nephews, passed away peacefully on Sept. 23, 2023 at Jenner’s Pond in West Grove.

She was born on Jan. 23, 1921 in Wilmington, Del. to the late Michael R. Perna and the late Assunta De Geuglio. She graduated from Darby High School in 1939. She was married to Edward T. Corby from 1941 until his death in 1965. They had two children, Rose Agnes, who was born in 1942 and died at age 29, and Edward “Little Eddie,” Jr., who was born in 1945 and died at age 19, both from congenital illnesses. In 1967, Alice married Ralph A. Merlini, became stepmother to William and Ralph, Jr., and shared 46 years of marriage before Ralph senior’s death in 2013. Alice is pre-deceased by siblings Florence, Rose, Frank, Joseph and “Little Joey.”

The Corbys had involved their children in as many activities as their health would allow, such as swimming in the backyard pool, where Alice also taught many youngsters how to swim and dive. She became den mother for Little Eddie’s Boy Scout troop and set up a small “store” in their home where he was the proprietor. She was very athletic, playing tennis and golf

throughout most of her life, and was also an avid card player and active in many church and civic activities. Lovingly referred to as “Aunt Alice” by many, she had a green thumb and a home full of vibrant greenery. During holiday celebrations, all gathered around her in song as she played the piano. One could not visit her home without having a home-cooked Italian meal or sweets made by “Aunt Alice” and niece, Agnes Kennedy. She is remembered for her kind heart, generous spirit, inner and outer beauty, and perpetual smile. She is survived by her stepson Ralph, Jr. and members of the Perna, Corby and Merlini families.

The family would like to thank all the members of the Jenners Pond Assisted Living care team where Alice lived the last seven years of her life.

A viewing will be from 5 until 7 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 1, 2023 at the Longwood Funeral Home & Cremation of Matthew Genereux at 913 East Baltimore Pike in Kennett Square.

DIANE MARIE GINN AND MATTHEW JAMES GINN

Diane Marie Ginn, age 59, and Matthew James Ginn, age 21, both of Landenberg, passed away at home on Aug. 21, 2023. The family’s hearts are broken with this tremendous loss and they will treasure the time that was shared with them in this life.

Born November 29, 1963 in Chester, Pa. and raised in Wilmington, Del., Diane was the daughter of the late Tadeusz and Joan Ann Delawski (Rayhoe). Upon graduating from Delaware Technical High School, she began her nursing career. She continued her nursing education at Delaware Technical Community College as well as the University of Delaware. Prior to becoming a full-time caretaker, Diane worked as a nurse at St. Francis Hospital in Wilmington, Del. for many years and raised her two sons lovingly.

Diane enjoyed sunny summer days at the beach or pool as well as cold winter days on the slopes. She liked to be out enjoying life by traveling, attending concerts and events with her co-workers, family and friends. She was compassionately devoted to caring for her son Matthew for the last 15 years doing so with quiet strength and humility. She felt strongly about helping others and donated funds to add a swing to A.I. DuPont Children’s Hospital playground which accommodated children in their wheelchair.

Matthew was born Aug. 2, 2002 in Newark, Del. to Diane and Vernon Allee Ginn, II. His bold and courageous spirit brought much joy and adventure to the family. Much like his mom, Matthew loved the outdoors. When he was young, the world was his playground, especially enjoying time outside at their Landenberg home. Even though later he was not able to enjoy the outdoors in the same way, he continued to appreciate the beauty of nature both outdoors and in watercolor art. Matthew was extremely intelligent and knowledgeable on many topics. He had strong convictions and was a fierce opponent in any debate. He loved dogs and compassionately donated regularly to the ASPCA.

Diane and Matthew leave behind a much loved son/brother, David Ginn; Matthew’s father, Vernon Ginn, II; sisters/aunts, Irene Heller (Paul) and Lorraine Lampert (Steve); brother/uncle, Ed Delawski (Brighid); aunt/sister-in-law, Dana Ginn Morrison (Chris); as well as nieces/cousins Mackenzie, Juliane and Lauren; and nephew/cousin Ryan.

Family and friends are invited to join the family in remembrance on Friday, Sept. 29 from 10 to 11 at Foulk Funeral Home, 200 Rose Hill Road in West Grove. A memorial service will begin at 11. Burial will be private.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Ronald McDonald House of Delaware, 1901 Rockland Road, Wilmington, DE 19803, in remembrance of Diane’s wish to help other families of children with health challenges, or to the Brandywine Valley SPCA, 1212 Phoenixville Pike, West Chester, Pa. 19380 in remembrance of Matthew’s love and support of dogs.

CARYL ENTWISTLE HUFFAKER

Caryl Entwistle Huffaker, of Kennett Square, passed away in Media, Pa. on Sept. 20. She was 92.

Caryl was born Feb. 26, 1931 in Richmond, Virginia to Frederick Turner Entwistle and Blanch Greene Entwistle.

Caryl grew up in Richmond and Buenos Aries, Argentina due to her father’s career moves. She graduated from Middlebury College with a degree in American Literature and later did graduate work in the School of Critical Studies at the University of Vermont and Columbia University. She started her career with the BBD & O Advertising of NY, and then the DuPont Company, where she met William, her loving husband of 63 years. They were married in Taunton, Mass. and lived in various North Carolina and Pennsylvania locations before settling into their Kennett Square countryside home for the last 58 years.

Caryl later became a homemaker, raising three children and a large assortment of wayward pets that needed homes. She was active in local and community affairs throughout her life, ultimately taking her writing passion to the Kennett Paper In her time there, she wrote her “Down Wind” social and arts column for over 30 years. Caryl loved the arts, literature, and music, and participated with groups such as the Richmond Church Choir, the Charlotte Westminster Church Choir, the Charlotte Voices Christmas Tree Choir, and the Wilmington Skating Club. She also served actively with Pen Women, The Red Hat Society, and The Kennett Symphony where she was recently recognized for her decades of volunteer service.

Caryl laughed easily, enjoyed strong conversation, and made friends for life. She loved to entertain. She frequently hosted large dinner parties, firework picnics, and extended-family gatherings. A particularly memorable event was a formal recreation of the Titanic’s final dinner. She loved English tea, steamed clams, ginger ale, fresh flowers, chocolate brownies, fine china, big dogs, noble cats, good gossip, and an even better flea market. Above all, she and Bill loved the theatre and travel which they pursued passionately over their lifetime together.

Caryl is survived by her husband, Bill; three children, Miles “Hoot” Huffaker and his spouse Linda, Turner Huffaker and his spouse Michele, and Hillary Clark; six grandchildren, Charlotte Huffaker, Wyatt Huffaker, Asa Huffaker, Quinn Huffaker, Owen Huffaker, and Ellie Clark; her brother-in-law, John Huffaker; and nieces, Meg Huffaker and Christiana Logan-Smith, and their families.

PUBLIC NOTICE

The Lower Oxford Township Board of Supervisors will consider adoption of a Resolution

The sewage facilities planning module for the project, code number 1-15937-285-3J, describes the technical and administrative details associated with the sewage facilities.

In summary, the sewage facilities include a gravity sewage collection system within the subdivision which will serve the 154 dwelling units, plus 18 EDUs associated with the Reedville Business Park, a sewage pumping station and a force main from the pumping station to the existing gravity sewage collection system within the Pine View Estates subdivision.

The Pine View Estates pumping station discharge is through a force main extending to the Borough of Oxford where it discharges into a manhole near the intersection of Baltimore Pike and Wheeler Boulevard. The sewage is then conveyed by gravity through the existing Oxford Area Sewer Authority collection system to the Sixth Street pumping station. The Sixth Street pumping station then discharges through a force main which terminates in a gravity sewer main on Market Street in the Borough of Oxford. The sewage then flows through the existing collection system within the Borough of Oxford to the Oxford Area Sewer Authority Waste Water Treatment Facility for treatment using a “mechanical” treatment process and reclamation using land application. The proposed pumping station is to be located near the intersection of Reedville Road and Conner Road and the associated force main, along with the gravity collection system, will be owned, operated and maintained by B. K. Camp-

Due to topographic constraints, 18 dwelling units in the Pine View Estates subdivision, which are located along Evergreen Drive, will also be served by the Reedville Road Pumping Station. The discharge from this pumping station will flow through a force main into the Pine View estates subdivision and be conveyed through the subdivision gravity collection system and pumping station to the Oxford Area Sewer Authority collection system within the Borough of Oxford, as explained above. The projected volume of sanitary sewage (domestic strength waste) from the 18 dwelling units in the Pine View Estates subdivision is 3,960 gallons per day based on 220 gallons per day per EDU.

Erhardt said, “I knew Oxford would band together, but this is over the top. We didn’t have to ask, they showed up.”

Many people continue to help, but Neighborhood Services Center is now centralizing the effort. Check out the message on their website at https://www.oxfordnsc. org.

“As community partners gathered to aid, including county resources, it was determined that Oxford Neighborhood Services Center was best equipped with a trained staff to lead the crisis efforts.

“We are crisis first responders helping individuals and families get back on their feet, stabilize their affairs, and have the tools and resources to live with selfdetermination and confidence. When that happens, Oxford is a stronger and more unified community, like an extended family.

When you’re in trouble, call NSC, for practical help: food, supplies, resources, connections, referrals, translations, life skills, direction, and guidance. We are here to help.”

It is time to rally around the businesses.
