Oxford Borough Head for the Brewfest Council approves parking garage and new borough hall By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer Oxford Borough is moving forward with a plan to build a parking garage and a new borough hall after borough council voted to approve a construction contact for the project on Monday night. The 4-3 vote to greenlight the hotly debated project will clear the way for one of the largest proj-
ects that the borough has ever undertaken. The project has been the topic of much debate during the last three years, dominating most of the council meetings. Those who support the parking garage view it as the centerpiece to the borough’s revitalization efforts because it will increase Oxford’s chances of attracting an anchor tenant, a restaurant or a larger Continued on Page 3A

Board hears medical U-CF School Board marijuana growing facility gets revised proposal again student discipline policy for review By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer
To those who attended the first conditional use hearing before the New Garden Township Board of Supervisors on Sept. 17, the further testimony of Girl Scout publishes new Nick DeSanctis before the cookbook...4A board on Oct. 15 served to again hammer home that
his proposal – to have his company 380 Starr Road, LLP operate an indoor medical marijuana cultivation and manufacturing facility at 380 Starr Road in Landenberg – would bring more than 150 white-collar jobs to the township and establish it as a keystone in a surging worldwide industry.
DeSanctis, a principal with Vedic Holdings, a Bryn Mawr-based commercial real estate company, told the board that the proposal is to divide the 107,000-squarefoot facility into two floors, and develop it in two phases.

For car enthusiasts in the area, last Saturday was a great day as the fifth annual Downtown Oxford Car Show rolled into town. The car show featured gleaming vintage cars, modern muscle cars, sleek motorcycles, and impressive trucks. The event had originally been planned for Sept. 7, but was postponed because of rain. On Saturday, the weather was rainy early in the morning, but by the time the car show started at noon, the sun was breaking through the clouds and the crowd was starting to grow. The wait for the car show was worth it for the many people who look forward to it each year—and for people like Adam Berry, who entered his 1981 Camaro in the car show competition. Berry, a resident of
By John Chambless Staff Writer During a meeting at Unionville Elementary School on Oct. 15, the members of the UnionvilleChadds Ford School Board heard about good things happening at the school, and then faced a challenge to reconstruct paper models on several tables without touching them. The task stumped the many adults in the room, but the students explained the secret at the end of five minutes of intense discussion around the tables. During public comment, former board student representative Gavin Brezski addressed the board as a college freshman who is following the progress of
a revised Code of Student Conduct in the district. Policy 218, which has been the focus of months of debate, now contains a chance for students who commit some offenses to have the incidents rescinded from their transcripts when applying to colleges. “This was something I was very passionate about last year,” Brezski said. “There was some discussion whether recision is seen by students as a ‘freebie.’ It’s clear to me that the policy was put into place because the board believes it provides a second chance for students. But what about the perception? “Some students aren’t aware the policy exists. However, the ones who do Continued on Page 6A

sports. The complex will also include 165 parking spaces and adequate landscaping and lighting. The property site is located in the unified development district of the township, and included in a number of uses by right in that district for recreational use, such as a fitness center, skating facility or sports facility, said attorney John Jaros, who is representing Eastern Athletic Clubs, Realty, LLC. “This is a by-right use in this district, and we’re here this evening in a sketch plan presentation to just give you the facts of what’s being proposed,” Jaros told the board. Alan J. Hill, president of Hillcrest Associates, told the board that he and others associated with the project have met with McMahon Associates, the township’s traffic engineers, to discuss traffic access to and from the proposed site. Hill said that McMahon proposed
a full-turn movement on the north side of the proposed facility, opposite the entrance to the Hartefeld residential community, and an access to Route 7 on the east side of the property. Hill said that the design plan complies with all setback requirements for landscaping, building and parking; that a wetlands study has been done on the property; and that the site poses no environmental concerns. Planned construction will be done in two phases: The first 30,000 square feet of the 55,000-squarefoot indoor facility will be constructed first; and the construction of the remaining 25,000 square feet will follow. Bob Carpenter, the spokesman for Eastern Athletic Clubs Realty, LLC, told the board that the proposed facility will not mimic – in infrastructure or mission – the nearby Hockessin Athletic Club, which he has owned since it first opened in June 2007. The new complex will not be a
Local News Wine and chocolate membership-based facility but used on a rental basis, he said, and will serve as the playing field for a variety of recreational basketball leagues and team or individual training sessions, for athletes of all ages. “We feel that there is a strong demand for a facility like this,” Carpenter said. The board recommended that Eastern Athletic Clubs Realty, LLC discuss their site plan with the township’s Planning Commission. In other township business, Michael C. Bucklin, a board member with the Brandywine Polo Club, told the supervisors that in an effort to help subsidize operating funds, the club is exploring the possibility of using the property on Polo Road as a site for weddings and special events. The club is planning to enter into a contract with Philadelphiabased Jeffrey A. Miller Catering to cater all events at the club. Bucklin called the idea a “low-impact source of revenue” that would help offset the cost of maintaining the non-profit organization, and said that the club has no plans to change the existing facilities. “We could take a portion of one of the barns and make it a wedding venue,” he said. “Barns are pretty exciting to brides right now and they’re selling well, so the more rustic, the better. Our plan is to stay within our existing footprints, and use the same infrastructure that we already use for polo.”

manufacturing medical marijuana, which DeSanctis said is an adequate space to retrofit the proposed business. “Most other growers who get into this business start very small, and they do 25,000 to 50,000 square feet, and this is twice the size, and it would allow for growth without having to expand the building,” he said. Phase II of the proposed business, he said, would take place on the building’s second floor and would be occupied by an incubator of companies and agencies who would assist the company with marketing, sales, research and development. The second floor would also allow for the cultivation of ventures between the facility and several medical universities in the state, and other To contact Staff Writer researchers from around the Richard L.

we would like to attract,” DeSanctis said. “It allows us to tell them, ‘We have this tremendous building that has all the bells and whistles you’re looking for – power, HVAC, parking, accessibility to highways, accessibility to those in highly-skilled jobs, and at the same time, we’ll also have the credibility of bringing in the universities and these larger pharmaceutical companies that want to partner with you.’” DeSanctis said that the business would operate as a venture between DeSanctis and David Tuttleman, a Wilmington resident and the owner of Matrix Nev., a Nevada-based medical marijuana-growing company. The board fixed the majority of their questions during the second hearing on the safety of the building. It’s a highly secured and selfcontained facility, DeSanctis said, that features security cameras, fully-armed guards, and is accessible by key cards. In addition, he said that aromas from the

largely organic chemicals made in the processing of medical marijuana, as well as any potential water run off, would not reach the public, and that all waste products from the plants would go through an underground filtration system. There was also discussion about the proximity of the proposed business to bordering properties, which include the St. Rocco Catholic Church, an automotive business, a dentist’s office and a children’s therapy center. In his closing remarks, DeSanctis, who has also made a presentation to the township’s Planning Commission, said he is confident that he will continue to bring new jobs to the township, similar to what he did in 2008 when, during a recession, he purchased the location and helped to recruit W.L. Gore and 450 jobs to the township. “I do believe that this building could be something really great again, and long-term, with a tenant who wants to be there,” said DeSanctis, who told the board that he did not want the $20 million investment W.L. Gore made in the building to “go to waste. I looked very hard at what industries were out there, and one of the largest and fastest-growing industries is this business. “This is about creating a new industry and a new environment,” DeSanctis added. “To me, this as a great opportunity not only for me, but for the folks in New Garden, to create jobs.” While 380 Starr Road, LLP looks to obtain a license from the state in order to open the doors to the facility, it will also have to wait for approval from the township’s Board of Supervisors, who have 45 days to render their decision on the conditional use application.

employer, to the commercial district. The parking garage will also address parking issues in the commercial district that have existed for decades. Critics of the project view it as an expensive option that won’t benefit the residents of the borough and could end up placing a huge financial burden on taxpayers. Council member John Thompson made the motion to approve a construction contract to CPS Construction, which was the lowest qualified bidder when the bids were submitted to the borough in June. The amount of the bid was slightly more than $7.3 million. However, that base bid included about $404,000 in building permit fees that are required by Oxford Borough’s regulations. Since the borough is the developer in this case, those fees can be waived, which would reduce the base bid to about $6.9 million. Council member Ron Hershey seconded the motion. Borough council, like the community itself, has long been divided over the parking garage issue. The meeting began with a public comment period where residents expressed their support and opposition to the proposed parking garage project. After more than two years of discussion and debate about the project, only a handful of people offered comments— and those comments were measured. Jim Price, voicing an opinion that numerous business owners in town have shared, said that the parking garage would be a major benefit to the town because it would boost economic development opportunities. “We can have endless opportunity by doing this project,” said Price, who owns a number of buildings in town. Business owner Randy Teel, himself a former longtime council member, shared a sentiment that has also been expressed by numerous people over the last three years. Teel said that he was concerned that taxpayers would end up being responsible for the costs of the project. He referred back to a meeting in 2016 in which a council member stated that the parking garage project would only be approved if sufficient grant funding was secured to make the project financially viable. This statement, Teel said, was made in response to concerns that a resident expressed that night about the costs of the parking garage being shouldered by residents. Mary Lou Baily, a borough resident who also works for Oxford Mainstreet, Inc., said that building a parking garage now to meet future
needs would be an illustration of being proactive, rather than being reactive. Why wait for the parking issue to get worse when it could jeopardize the borough’s opportunities to grow its commercial base? Borough resident Richard Winchester, a retired professor, expressed his opposition to the parking garage project. Winchester pointed out that there are plenty of parking spaces available in the borough’s downtown on most days of the week, including spaces in three parking lots that previously offered free parking, but are now metered. Winchester also noted that the borough’s estimates on the timeline for the project, as well as for the costs of various aspects of building the parking garage, have missed their mark. “Your record on estimates about money and timing for the project have been disappointing,” Winchester said. He concluded his remarks by saying that a small survey of residents showed that a majority of people were opposed to the project. Brian Wenzka, the executive director of Oxford Mainstreet, Inc. and several other people quickly raised issues with the accuracy and methodology of that survey. It was noted that only a small number of residents were surveyed, and the sample size wasn’t sufficient to draw any meaningful conclusions. Approximately 5,200 people live in the borough, and fewer than 200 people were apparently surveyed. Geoff Henry, a former mayor of the borough, read a letter on behalf of the Oxford Presbyterian Church Session, which stated its opposition to the parking garage project. The letter noted that construction on the parking garage would make it difficult for vehicles to be able to access the church’s small parking lot. Additionally, there is a lack of convenient, free parking available during church activities on Sunday morning and throughout the week. Borough council president Sue Lombardi wanted all the questions that were raised during public comment to be addressed before a vote so borough officials spent about a half an hour going through those questions one by one. In an effort to address some of the concerns about the costs of the project, borough manager Brian Hoover explained that the borough has already secured approximately $3.6 million in funding through state and county grants. Another $1 million was
gifted to the borough by an anonymous donor for the purposes of securing a new borough hall. Hoover said that there is an additional amount of money—somewhere between $1.2 million and $1.3 million—that will be utilized from the borough’s building fund and capital projects fund to further reduce the amount of money that will be borrowed. There is also about $200,000 remaining in the gift fund. This will help limit the long-term impact to the borough’s general fund budget, Hoover explained. Pauline Garcia-Allen of Econ Partners, who has served as a consultant to the borough throughout the process to secure the grant funding, said that there are still two grant opportunities that the project could qualify for in 2019. One possibility, she said, is applying for $800,000 in Community Revitalization Program (CRP) funding that is administered by the county. “The county has been receptive to the possibility,” said Garcia-Allen. Hoover noted that if the $800,000 in additional funding were secured, the amount that the borough would need to borrow would be reduced to about $1.22 million. Even using very conservative estimates, parking revenues would be sufficient to cover the annual debt-service payments. After all the residents’ questions were addressed, it was the council members’ turn to discuss the project, setting the stage for the long-anticipated vote. Peggy Ann Russell, the council vice president, who has long been opposed to the project, reiterated a few of her concerns. “I know we’re building for the future, but we’re paying in the present,” Russell said. Council member Bob Ketcham made a brief presentation focusing on the projected parking revenues and how they compare to the annual debt-service payments that the borough will be responsible for. Ketcham disagreed with the assessment that parking revenues would cover the costs of maintaining the parking garage. “As I see it, we don’t have the revenue to pay for this project through parking revenues,” Ketcham said. He also said that, during his research about parking garages, he heard a few things over and over from sources outside of Oxford Borough. One thing he heard repeatedly is don’t build a parking structure that can’t be easily converted to a new use if the

need arises. Another thing he heard is don’t build capacity before the demand is there. Still another thing that he heard is that the membranes of the parking structure must be meticulously cared for to prevent water and salts from getting to the concrete because that can cause a lot of erosion in the structure. After nearly three years of discussion and debate, it was finally time for the council members to vote on awarding the construction contract. The vote itself took place very quickly, with Lombardi, Hershey, Thompson and Hurtt all voting to approve the motion, while Russell, Ketcham, and Amanda Birdwell voted against it. There was applause after the vote, but certainly others in the room were unhappy with the council’s decision. Once the meeting concluded an hour later, more than one person in attendance expressed the relief that a decision had been made—finally—and the borough can now move forward. Lombardi, who just became council president in January, said that she initially had a lot of concerns about the costs of the project, but during the process of working with the professionals the borough retained, she became convinced of the need for the project, as well as the borough’s ability to pay for it without burdening taxpayers. The borough has been extremely successful in securing funding for the parking garage, and will be paying dimes on the dollar for a major economic development project. The new borough hall often gets overlooked, but Oxford badly needs a new home for its administrative offices, and it would cost between $3 million and $4 million to build one in the downtown. Because of the grants that have been secured, the borough will get a parking garage and a borough hall for less than that. “This is probably one of the biggest things that we’ve done in Oxford,” Hershey said after the meeting. “The borough is already moving forward, but this will help us continue to move forward.” Hershey said that there

In order for America to have the right elected leaders, citizen-voters must choose them carefully by voting for the best candidates to carry out our destiny, and voting out those who fall short. Election Day, Nov. 6, is especially important for Pennsylvania. We will elect a U.S. Senator, every Congressional seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, a Governor, half of the State Senate, and the entire State House of Representatives. This upcoming election is second in importance only to the next presidential election in 2020. If our citizen-voters go to polls in large numbers, we the people can control our own destiny and stand the best chance of electing leaders who mirror the majority. If you are not registered or don’t vote, you are letting someone else choose our leaders. So, make arrangements now to register, obtain an absentee ballot, or go to the polls on Nov. 6. Remember, America is only as good as our elected leaders, who are chosen by enlightened voters. (This is an occasional column written by Uncle Irvin. As always, the column is the opinion of Uncle Irvin, and is not a news story.) will certainly be some inconveniences during the construction phase of the project, which is expected to take about 11 months, but those who will be most affected by the construction will also be the ones who will benefit the most once the project is complete. Mayor Lorraine Bell didn’t have a vote on the issue, but she has long supported the project because of the benefits it will bring to the town. She explained that she grew up in Oxford, and she has loved watching the town grow, but the parking issue has been a problem for a long time. “We are finally addressing that need,” Bell said. She added that she believes the parking garage will boost economic development in town, so that the commercial district will once again thrive as it once did. Numerous people expressed hope that, now that a decision about the
parking garage has been made, everyone can start pulling together again. Lombardi said that she has been very concerned about the deep divisions in the community and on council that have developed as a result of the much-debated project. “I’m looking foward to us working together on something positive,” she said. Randy Grace, a business owner in town, expressed a similar sentiment during the final public session of the evening. He thanked the borough council members who supported the parking garage project, and said that he hopes that, now that a decision has been made and the garage will be built, there will once again be more unity and less rancor. “Let’s get back to to being one town, one community, one Oxford,” he said.

Local Girl Scout helps families eat better By John Chambless Staff Writer
Families served by the West Chester Food Cupboard are eating better, thanks to Julia McDonnell, a senior at Unionville High School. McDonnell, 17, earned her Girl Scout Gold Award this month for creating a cookbook that uses fresh ingredients to help low-income families eat healthier foods and save money doing it. The Clean Eats Cookbook was compiled by McDonnell, and her elegant photographs of each dish make the book look entirely professional. During an interview last month, McDonnell said she started in Girl Scouts in the second grade, and has continued with a troop based at Kennett High School through this point, earning the highest honor possible for her Gold project. Her family lives in West Chester, so “I was already familiar with the West Chester Food Cupboard,” she said. To fit in the research, recipe testing and photography, she put the cookbook together mostly over the summer. “I did all of the paperwork from about early March to April, and then I met with the people at the Food Cupboard, then started doing recipe testing and all the photography during the summer,” she said. “I just got my Gold Award on Oct. 4.” A ceremony will be held in December to formally honor McDonnell’s project.
‘The Clean Eats Cookbook’ offers tasty recipes
During her research, McDonnell said she learned “poverty and obesity are linked,” she said. “If you think about it, McDonald’s is much cheaper than going to the grocery store and buying fresh fruit.” Families facing food insecurity frequently resort to fast food, or if they lack

transportation, they buy what’s available in corner stores near their homes. That food is frequently processed and not healthy. McDonnell visited the food cupboard to see what types of foods they typically have on hand, and then researched recipes online that used those ingredients. “When I visited the food cupboard, I saw a range of people – all ages, races, genders. The cupboard serves about 600 families a month,” McDonnell said, emphasizing the size of the food insecurity problem, even in a wealthy area like Chester County. “The families can come once a month. But they’re limited by maybe the price of the food, time constraints, and having to pay the bills first before they eat.”
After finding recipes that had the right ingredients and were not too timeconsuming, McDonnell made samples of each one and tested them on her family, as well as the families served by the food cupboard. The 45 best recipes made the cut. “I had a lot of ideas,” she said. “Originally it was supposed to be 10 per category – breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, dessert – and then I narrowed it down to nine. I got inspiration from different food blogs, I looked at Pinterest a lot. The people at the food cupboard recommended that the recipes serve four, and then the families could adjust them.” The finished dishes were taken to McDonnell’s porch, where natural light makes them look delicious. She carefully photographed each one on a white plate to give the cookbook a nice cohesiveness. Then she had the final book printed by the online publisher blurb. com. “I brought in some of the books to the food cupboard a couple of weeks ago, and their reaction was ‘Wow, this is amazing. It looks like a professional book,’” McDonnell said. “Then I went back the next Fifty copies of the cookbook were donated for the clients of the food cupboard to take for free.

an online version being planned through the food cupboard website, www. westchesterfoodcupboard. org. “I got the idea for the Clean Eats title after looking at the different food blogs,” McDonnell said. “The ones I looked at promoted clean, healthy eating. To me, ‘Clean Eats’ means fresh, homemade, not having processed foods.” As a senior, McDonnell is busy making plans,
possibly in the health care field, she said. At Unionville, she is taking a class through the Allied Health program at the Technical College High School, and is the editorin-chief of the Unionville High School newspaper. She plans to continue her involvement in scouting after graduation. “They have this program called Take the Lead, and I applied to be a presenter,” she said. “It’s a day-long event. As a presenter, I
would shadow a woman in the community and write up an introduction to introduce her at the event. And there’s a Girl Scout alumni network as a way to keep in touch.” McDonnell’s mother, Barbara, said, “When she gets an idea in her head, she does it. I’m really proud of her. She did a lot over the summer. She did a couple of college courses, she did an online course and got her driver’s license. She’s a workaholic.”

PennDOT issues permit for Red Rose intersection project Penn Township Supervisors reported on Oct. 5 that PennDOT has cleared the way for the construction of the intersection project slated for Route 796 and West Baltimore Pike in Jennersville. The issuance of the permit represents the clearing of the final administrative hurdle for the $2.4 million intersection project near the former Red Rose Inn. McMahon Associates, the township’s project manager and design and construction engineer for the intersection, can now solicit bids on behalf of the township for the project’s construction, which is expected to take place in 2019. They expect to award the bid in November this year. “It’s been a long process, but well worth it, as we believe the design of this intersection will improve its functionality and make passage through our town center both safer and swifter,” said Penn Supervisors Chair Curtis Mason, Sr. “We are grateful for the efforts of State Sen. Andy Dinniman and State Rep. John Lawrence, who went above and beyond to make this happen to improve the health, safety and welfare of our community.” The project will be partially funded by PennDOT and a Commonwealth Financing Authority Multi-Modal grant. The remaining funds will be paid by Penn Township, though the township adopted a traffic impact fee last May
which will help to recoup the township’s expenditures over time. Several options were evaluated, and through this evaluation the following improvements are proposed: •Improve the alignment of the northern and southern legs of Route 796 within the tight constraints of the Red Rose Inn and the building on the southeast intersection corner. •Widen southbound Route 796 to provide a separate 80-foot left-turn lane with a continuous 450-foot center left-turn lane through lane, and a separate 300foot southbound right-turn lane. Provide turning radius improvements at both northeast and northwest intersection corners. •Restripe northbound Route 796 to provide a separate 150-foot left-turn lane with a continuous center-left-turn lane to The Shops at Jenner’s Village, and provide turning radius improvements at the southwest intersection corner. •Restripe westbound Route 3026 to provide a 100-foot left-turn lane at the intersection, and a 300-foot continuous center left-turn lane to serve the driveways on the south side of Old Baltimore Pike. •Install a new traffic signal at the intersection with updated signal phasing. •Resurface both roadways within the vicinity of the intersection.

Local News Discipline policy... Continued from Page 1A
have some mixed views. … Having the recision policy in place makes students feel more comfortable about committing wrongdoings. It enables a belief that they have a failsafe in their back pocket that guarantees them a second chance. “Recision also unintentionaally creates a divide between parents, students and the high school administration,” Brezski said. “I believe that when the administration issues a suspension, and the students and the family then go to the superintendent and have a discussion about recision, if that’s granted, I think that can cause a fracture, or a mistrust, between the family and the high school administration. There might be a belief that there was a misstep by the administration. “We need to make sure that we are holding our students accountable, and they need to realize that
actions have consequences,” he said. “Our actions in high school can affect our lives 20 or 30 or 40 years down the road, which is why I think that it’s so important that, rather than finding ways to give students a second chance, we should be finding ways to promote positive educational behavior.” At the end of the meeting, board president Jeff Hellrung returned to the issue in his remarks. “For me, the high points of the recommended student discipline policy that we just had for first reading tonight was, first, the focus on safety and security in our schools. Second, the call for mututal respect between staff and students. Third, there is a rightful focus on student rights, but also responsibilities. “There is opportunity for shorter and fewer suspensions, and in place of those suspensions – which often carry some significant consequences, specifically a lack of academic time -we’re going to give students educational opportunities,”
Brandywine residents ‘arrested’ by Kennett Square Police On Sept. 11, Brandywine Living at Longwood residents in Kennett Square had the photo op of a lifetime when they were “arrested” by the Kennett Square Police during a first responders thankyou luncheon hosted by the community. “The residents were really excited to be ‘arrested’ by the police officer, especially since they didn’t actually commit a crime,” said Kristen Aran, escapades producer of Brandywine Living at Longwood. Helen Gallagher, a
Brandywine Living at Longwood resident, said, “It was fun being arrested! I didn’t even do anything!” The luncheon featured an Italian-style meal that matched the community’s “Italian Family Mob” themed schedule of events and activities in celebration of National Assisted Living Week. Residents made stromboli for the luncheon that also included vegetable pasta, meatballs and salad. First responders went home with goodie bags assembled by Reflections memory care residents and filled with items to help
Hellrung said. “We’re going to go with recision, at least through the end of the year, but we have strengthened the recision policy, and we have a commitment from the administration to assess the effect of this policy at the end of the year. The intention is to have it be a
positive thing, to give students a second chance, and not to have any unintended negative consequences, such as communicating that students have one ‘freebie.’ “The biggest change is that we’re mandating some educational and counseling experiences for
UHS announces Commended students
The following 12th grade students at Unionville High School have been named as 2018 National Merit Commended students: Connor Bennink, Camryn Carter, Samantha Ciccarelli, Madison Detweiler, Anthony DiBaggio, Kathyrn Dobbins, Jason Doyle, Michael Friedman, Swetha Gopal, Sebastian Graper, Amitha Halthore, Sabine Jung, Sajjad Ali

students who have committed alcohol and drug-related offenses,” Hellrung said. “So whereas our past practice had been an automatic 10-day, out-of-school suspension, our new practice will likely result in shorter suspensions and other consequences that will help the student learn. This counseling will be mandatory. To those who are opposed to that, and who think it should be a matter between parent and child, the minute that behavior takes place in school, or at a school event, it becomes our problem as well, and we’re going to do the best we can to give appropriate consequences.” During the meeting, the board approved several items, including the replacement of a chiller unit at Unionville High School that is part of the air conditioning system.
The 100-ton compressor will be replaced at a cost of $36,055. The board also voted to transfer an operating surplus of $1.6 million to the capital reserve fund. The savings came about last year, chiefly due to savings on healthcare, special education and utilities. Also approved was a Unionville High School Spanish trip to Costa Rica next year, a trip by the UHS Indoor Drumline to a competition in Ohio in April, and a new civics and government textbook for Patton Middle School at a cost of about $31,000.

A smart growth concept for New Garden Township
Lawrence didn’t support legislation for transportation and community infrastructure
It was about halfway through the hour-long appeal of Nicholas DeSanctis and David Tuttleman before the New Garden Township Board of Supervisors on Sept. 17, when the same realization hit several in the audience, square in the face: That what DeSanctis and Tuttleman were pitching will introduce New Garden Township, full-throttle, to the modern world and get it a seat at the table. It is the intent of DeSanctis, a principal with Vedic Holdings, a Bryn Mawr-based commercial real estate company, to pursue the idea of establishing an indoor medical marijuana cultivation and manufacturing facility at 380 Starr Road in Landenberg, a 107,000-square-foot building he owns that is currently leased to a large company. If it passes the litmus tests of approval from the township and the state, it may open as early as 2020, the same year the lease of the building’s current occupant expires. The advantages of opening a facility of this kind in New Garden reads like a long, “no-brainer” of positives, all fresh on the heels of the numbers recently crunched by Arcview Market Research and BDS Analytics, that reported than in the next decade, the legal cannabis industry will reach all corners of the globe, and spending will reach $57 billion a year by 2027. The study also reported that the largest group of cannabis buyers will be in North America, increasing from $9.2 billion in 2017 to an expected $47.3 billion by 2027. Close to home, DeSanctis told the board that the facility will bring 150 white-collar research jobs to New Garden Township, and help to convert the township into a “hub” for cannabis research and development, that would link it to the leading hospitals and research centers in nearby Wilmington, Chester County, Philadelphia and Maryland. The facility would also be in lock-step collaboration with efforts currently underway to make southern Chester County a worldwide center of excellence for indoor agriculture, which would bring scientific research teams and individuals from around the world to our community. Employing 150 white-collar professionals would increase tax revenues for both the township and local school districts. Just as there are naysayers at nearly every corner of a great idea, the potential start of an indoor medical marijuana cultivation and manufacturing facility will certainly draw from the woodwork those who believe that this facility will convert New Garden Township into a drug den of filth and lawlessness – the economic equivalent of teenage punks selling weed to stoners. This naivete is galling to hear, and it should be stricken from the conversation, immediately. The use of cannabis for medical purposes is now legal in 31 states including Pennsylvania, as well as in Washington, D.C. and the territories of Guam and Puerto Rico. Further, the oils and other approved products cultivated from marijuana, commonly known as cannabinoids or CBD, are proven medical supplements that decrease the physiological effects of anxiety; improve symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder anxiety; reduce arthritis, chronic and muscle pain, and pain caused by Multiple Sclerosis; and to alleviate the side effects caused by cancer treatment. DeSanctis returned to the New Garden board on Oct. 15 for a second conditional use hearing, from which the board has 45 days to render its decision on whether to green light the proposed idea. While DeSanctis and Tuttleman wait on the Commonwealth to grant them a license top operate the facility, a “yes” vote by the board would serve as a sign that New Garden Township is willing to enter the new century, the new world and the new way of science and technology, full throttle.
Letter to the Editor: I was just astounded to read John Lawrence’s op-ed in the Sept. 26 issue. I can only pray that others don’t follow his “lead by example” methods. He touts his efforts in supporting local infrastructure, but fails to tell us he voted against the two most important House bills that make transportation infrastructure happen. In 2013, he voted against HB1060, more commonly known as Act 89,
which essentially is the Pennsylvania transportation bill for 2013 to 2018. It funds all roads, all transportation infrastructure improvements, and all methods for raising funds for the same. We all know the roads and bridges throughout the state are in trouble, but Mr. Lawrence voted against improving them. Then he has the nerve to want credit for bringing those same funds in grants to Oxford and Jennersville. Similarly, in 2017, he voted
against HB785. That bill is commonly known as Act 45, and is titled the Capital Facilities Debt Enabling Act. It provides state funds for capital improvement and Community Development Block Grants all over Pennsylvania. Oxford got an initial $143,000 grant through that program which funds redevelopment of waterways, recreation areas and streetscapes. John says he wants to support legislation with “broad, bipartisan sup-
port” but couldn’t vote for HB785 which passed with an unbelievable vote of 181 to 3 in the House. So yes, Mr. Lawrence, I agree that you should be “held accountable.” If you won’t vote to support legislation for transportation and community infrastructure in our area, but then want to brag about bringing money here, then we won’t vote for you on Nov. 6.

Education, Tom Wolf and Sue Walker unite us in a time of division Letter to the Editor: During this time of division in our country, there is one topic that unites many Americans and that is education. A recent USA Today/ Ipsos Public Affairs poll shows that there’s wide support for teachers, and that education funding is wellspent money. More than two-thirds of poll respondents said public schools were worth the money going into them. The polling data shows that parents also demanded that impediments to quality education be exposed. For example, many students lack access to consistent broadband service, impacting their ability to do homework and connect to a wide-ranging array of educational tools. Students in Pennsylvania are not just competing with each other but with a global population. One impediment to quality education that needs to be exposed is the voting record of current State Rep. John Lawrence and former State Senator and current governor candidate Scott Wagner.
An outspoken critic of public schools, Wagner has made it clear he would be no friend to public education if he is elected in November. Both Wagner and Lawrence have made it clear that they think Pennsylvania already spends “enough” money on public schools. Both Wagner and Lawrence are supporters of school choice, which would funnel millions of dollars out of districts. Both Lawrence and Wagner were supporters of former Gov. Tom Corbett who slashed the state’s basic education subsidy by $335 million during his first weeks in office, according to a FactCheck.org analysis, leading to program cuts and teacher layoffs across the state. Wagner and Lawrence supporters argue that too much education funding is paying for teacher pensions. What they fail to say is that while teachers have always contributed what was required, the state politicians made a choice to vastly underfund their share of pension contributions for years. Tom Wolf and Sue Walker agree that education should
be bipartisan. They believe that Avon Grove, Oxford, and Octorara public schools are more than just centers of their communities. They believe these schools unite us and represent our hope for the future, the key to grasping the next rung on the economic ladder-and the promise of a better life for our kids. “Education is in crisis. And teachers are held responsible for the poor decisions made by lawmakers,” said 2016 National teacher of the year, Jahana Hayes. A federal Department of Education survey found that 94 percent of public school teachers in the United States pay for supplies without reimbursement in the school year that straddled 2014 and 2015. The education cuts that had previously been supported by Scott Wagner and John Lawrence have motivated Tom Wolf and Sue Walker to passionately defend the future of public education. They believe that we need to fairly fund our schools, get the best teachers in our schools and keep
those who are dedicated to their profession. Tom Wolf and Sue Walker believe that we need to provide schools with the resources they need to fund the arts and extracurricular programs most of us grew up expecting. Anyone who is registered to vote in Pennsylvania can vote for Tom Wolf for Governor. Anyone who is registered to vote in Pennsylvania, and who also lives in the 13th District, can also vote for Sue Walker for State Representative. The 13th District includes the municipalities of Atglen, East Fallowfield, East Nottingham, Elk, Franklin, Highland, London Grove, Londonderry, Lower Oxford, Modena, New London, Oxford, Parkesburg, Penn, Sadsbury, South Coatesville, Upper Oxford, West Fallowfield, West Grove, West Nottingham and West Sadsbury. Please consider voting for Tom Wolf and Sue Walker on Tuesday, Nov. 6. Andrew T. Atkinson Oxford
Support Walker on Election Day Letter to the Editor: I’ve been a union member for my entire adult life and maintain alumni status in that union as a retiree. Unions have consistently helped to raise the standard of living of its members and non-members. Whether it’s insisting on a living wage, affordable and decent healthcare and a safe working environment, unions have helped all workers, directly and indirectly. Over the last two decades
unions have been under assault by many special interest groups and their political allies. This year’s ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in the Janus v. AFSCME is just the latest example. As union membership has declined so has everyone’s standard of living. Without collective bargaining, and the protections it affords, it’s hard to imagine attaining the American Dream. I’ve been thinking about what I could say about Sue Walker, the candidate for PA
13th. She listens to people and she has the knowledge of what is good for working people. To me, the fact that she is in favor of raising the minimum wage is all I need to hear. But Walker also believes in infrastructure projects that will put people to work and attract businesses to our state. Remember, infrastructure is not just roads and bridges. It is also clean drinking water and what happened in Flint, Michigan is a reminder of what can happen when poli-
ticians lose sight of their core responsibility and instead fight common sense regulations and try to cut funding for maintenance. For too long politicians in Harrisburg have taken us for granted. They ignore the obvious problems and only listen to those who write the big checks. This year I am pulling the lever for someone who represents the common working folk. I am voting for Sue Walker.

Dinniman marks 300th anniversary of East and West Nottingham State Sen. Andy Dinniman recently marked the 300th Anniversary of the establishment of East and West Nottingham Townships. Dinniman met with members of the both the East and West Nottingham Township Historical Commissions and
their respective boards of supervisors in honor of the momentous occasion. “Chester County is home to a rich heritage thanks to the many historians and volunteers who’ve worked to preserve it,” Dinniman said. “The story of East and West
Nottingham Townships is rooted in the creation of our Commonwealth and can be traced to the spirit of independence, bold self-reliance, and Quaker values that continue to guide us today.” Dinniman also presented both townships with special
Senate citations in recognition of the milestone birthday. In 1701, “the Nottingham Lotts,” later recognized as Nottingham Township, was founded by William Penn and earlier Quaker settlers. Thirtyseven lots were given as grants to fifteen families.
In November 1717, township officers voted to spit the township between East and West, based on the Penn survey map of 1702. In 1718, the township was officially separated. However, the area remained disputed territory between Pennsylvania and Maryland
until 50 years later with the establishment of the Mason-Dixon line. In 1768, the line was created, the dispute resolved and both East and West Nottingham officially became part of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Art Association looks to ‘Past and Present’ for annual auction By John Chambless Staff Writer
For its annual fundraiser art auction, the Chester County Art Association has gone big with “Past and Present,” featuring artists who showed at the West Chester art center early in their careers, along with some newcomers with strong contributions as well. The show is fun for browsers, but if you want to take home a piece of art – and help the Art Association at the same time – you can write your bids on a paper that accompanies each piece. The artist gets the first bid amount, which is half of the total value of the artwork. The art center gets the rest of higher bids, and you can still pick up a bargain. Bidding ends on Nov. 1. There are plenty of highlights, beginning with Jeremy McGirl’s “Goose With Forsythia,” a multilayered blend of suburbia and nature that points to concerns about development, and to the indomitable nature of wildlife. There’s a little jewel of a painting by Kathryn Noska, “Vistas of Serenity,” that packs acres of an imaginary landscape into a space that’s about the size of a postcard. Alejandro Lemus has a showstopping bronze, “Allegria,” that is pure magic and motion – a human/marionette figure with wires stretching upward to an unseen hand, and an ecstatic pose. Terry DeAngelo’s large painting, “Village,” is a warm, atmospheric view of a tangle of buildings in an autumn-toned field. On a whole other scale – the
tiny end – is J. Clayton Bright’s “Turtle Shell,” a super-realistic bronze shell rendered in actual size. David Katz’s “Marshalton Farm House” has a breathtaking expanse of sky, and Peter Quarracino works his usual magic in “Blue Wind,” a spectacular expanse of dappled water. John Suplee’s “Sunset From Superfresh” is a typically wry commentary, capturing the edge of a parking lot, guardrail and a dark tangle of trees against the fading light. Jeff Schaller’s small painting “Clark” – a play on Superman and a certain candy bar -- is a chance to pick up a keystone piece for your art collection. Ellie Byrom-Haley’s “Caged” is another standout, packed with eloquent symbolism. Kathleen Friedenberg’s bronze, “Jack the Robber,” is a dog in mid-bounce, and it’s pure animal energy and exuberance. Also on view in a nearby, smaller gallery is “The Barnes on Bradford,” a juried group show that features artworks hung in the tradition of Dr. Albert Barnes, with ornamental metalwork echoing shapes or themes in the art nearby. John Suplee’s energetic vista of cows and suburban sprawl, “Looking for SainteVictoire,” is great fun, but there’s a wide, rich selection of original works that are tied together – directly or indirectly – with the Barnes vision. The interplay of artists, genres and mediums is energetic and engaging, just as Barnes would have wanted it. In the space that usually
holds the art center’s store is the “Clay Days” annual group show, with a special nod to Mitch Lyons, who passed away this year. There are several of his painted vases and cups and monoprints for sale in the show, which also features a broad selection of stoneware and potery by other area artists. You’ll find functional platters, cups and bowls, but also fanciful pieces such as the frogs perched on books by Priscilla Dahl. Her mugs and bowls and wall sculptures with a bird motif are also lovely. Rhoda Kahler’s distinctive stoneware wall pieces are fascinating, as always. And then there are the odd, and personality-packed, cups by Sandra Malamed, which have friendly, contemplative faces. They are doubled, so that you can drink out of one or the other face, depending on your mood.
“Past and Present,” “The Barnes on Bradford” and “Clay Days” continue through Nov. 1 at the Chester County Art Association (100 N. Bradford Ave., West Chester). For the closing reception, there will be a live auction after the silent auction bids close at 6 p.m. Four paintings -- by Peter Sculthorpe, Dennis Haggerty, Robert Dale McKinney, and Suk Shuglie – will be auctioned. Gallery hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Call 610-696-5600 or visit www. chestercountyarts.org. To contact Staff Writer John Chambless, email jchambless@chestercounty. com.

Oxford celebrates Homecoming By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer Oxford’s offense put 34 points on the scoreboard against Great Valley, but it was the Hornets’ swarming defense that saved the victory with two crucial stops in the closing minutes of the game last Friday night. The first big play by the Hornets’ defense came after Great Valley drove from its own one-yard line to the 34 of Oxford on 11 plays. Then, on a fourth-and-one, Great Valley running back Amani Christopher took the handoff and looked for an opening. Instead, Oxford cornerback Nathan Roumaniotis worked his way into the backfield and stopped Christopher before he could pick up the first down. There was just 1:43 left to play in the game. Oxford’s offense was missing starting quarterback Brett Kochmansky, who was injured on a play early in the fourth quarter, and Great Valley was able to force Oxford to go threeand-out while utilizing two timeouts to stop the clock. As a result, Great Valley got the ball back on its own 40-yard line with 1:06 to play. The Patriots had already scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, and momentum seemed to have swung in their favor as Great Valley quarterback Jake Prevost led his team back out on the field for the potential game-winning drive. Prevost already had 23 completions in the game, and Oxford’s hold on the game seemed tenuous at best.

Sandra Leon was crowned the Homecoming Queen and Adrian Garcia was crowned the Homecoming King for Oxford Area High School.
On first down, Prevost fired an incompletion. On second down, he lofted a pass toward the left sideline where standout wide receiver Josh Burgess was trying to find an opening. Oxford cornerback Brandon McWilliams made a good adjustment on the ball and picked it off at the ten-yard line to preserve the victory for the Hornets. “It’s the second time he closed the game out with a pick for us,” said Oxford head coach Mike Means moments after his team improved its record to 5-3 Continued on Page 7B
Remembering Mr. Howett
Before the Homecoming football game, there was a moment of silence to remember Ken Howett, who passed away at the age of 82 on Oct. 6. Howett was a very dedicated member of the school community. He was a teacher at Oxford Area High School for 32 years. He taught thousands of young people how to drive in his driver’s education classes, and he also served as an athletic director and coach.

Layers of materials and layers of meaning By John Chambless Staff Writer “Layers” is a clever title for a show at the Square Pear Fine Art Gallery in Kennett Square, which features artists who work, in one way or another, with layers of materials or layers of meaning. Entering the gallery, you’re first struck by the large watercolors of abandoned industrial spaces by Robert Jenkins. The larger works are more immersive studies of shadows, rust and grime, and the smaller ones are more focused on fewer details, but just as evocative. Jenkins switches mediums and subject matter completely with his uncanny paintings of insects on layers of resin. These magical trompe l’oeil paintings capture butterflies, dragonflies, bees in a hive, beetles and more as if they’re floating in space within their simple black frames. But get close, and you can see that each one is painted, layer by layer, until
they create the illusion of three-dimensional objects. It’s quite a trick, and the wall of Jenkins’ natural wonders will have you studying each one closely. John Baker’s threedimensional paper sculptures have the look of ancient artifacts, but they’re original creations that blend rich earth tones, sticks and elgant shapes in ways that are distinctive, sculptural and enigmatic. Incised with notches and crevices, they are fascinating and timeless. Woody Patterson’s bold abstracts are constructed of hundreds of pieces salvaged from a dump of circuit boards, wires and computer parts. They are layered tightly and notched together to make intricate abstractions that reward close inspection. In some cases, they bring to mind layers of rock and earth built up over eons, with little strips of technology recognizable in the grays and browns sur rounding them. It’s a fabulous use of
materials, and each one of Patterson’s works is a room-filling statement. Peter Saenger also works in layers with his porcelain vessels and bowls that are as intricate and delicate as spiderwebs. His stoneware platters are symphonies of squiggles and petal shapes and patterns upon patterns. In “A World Within,” Saenger works magic with a sphere of fragile, lace-like porcelain holding another sphere inside it. His vessels and sculptural pitchers are elegant shapes with echoes of Asian design, blended with Saenger’s contemporary flair. You won’t be able to tell how he does it, but you’ll be impressed. In one of the galleries, you can see paintings by gallery owner Corien Siepelinga, whose abstract style fits right in with the theme. Densely painted surfaces, layered and scratched and overlapped, reveal endless patterns, and a sense of age and decay and resilience, all at once.
‘Ark’ by John Baker.

“Layers” continues through Oct. 31 at the Square Pear Fine Art Gallery (200 E. State St., Kennett Square). Gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Chester County Color 5K raises funds to combat addiction
Chester County Commissioners and District Attorney Tom Hogan recently announced the support of Independence Blue Cross as the “Transformation” presenting sponsor of the third annual Color 5K run and walk, raising funds to combat the opioid and heroin epidemic. This year’s Color 5K will take place at Everhart Park in West Chester on Nov, 10. Registration begins at 8 a.m. and the race starts at 9 a.m. For details and to register, visit http://chesco.org/color5k. The Color 5K attracted more than 1,000 participants and supporters in 2017, and raised
$38,000. Chester County Commissioners’ chair Michelle Kichline said, “We thank Independence Blue Cross for joining us for this year’s Color 5K, making a significant contribution that will truly help us as we continue to raise funds and awareness to fight this addiction crisis. I also want to note the amazing community support that we have received for the Color 5K over the past two years, which regrettably proves that there are many people in Chester County who have been affected by this epidemic.” Funds raised through this

year’s Color 5K will continue to support COPE – Community Outreach and Prevention Education – that is specific to Chester County. Through this program, opioid overdose survivors who are being treated in the emergency room at Chester County Hospital and Brandywine Hospital can meet with a certified recovery specialist within an hour of coming into the ER. The recovery specialist engages with the survivor and provides personal support and a direct connection to treatment and recovery services. “The goal of COPE is to move the overdose survivor from the ER to treatment – with his or her approval – regardless of insurance status, and to work with the survivor and family on how to navigate insurance coverage and ways to get treatment,” said Commissioner Kathi Cozzone. “The recovery specialist also meets with family members to give important information, provide Narcan and educate them how to use it.” Commissioner Terence Farrell added, “Never before has a service like this been available to this extent, and the COPE program has become a reality, in part, thanks to the money raised by the Chester County Color 5K events in 2016 and 2017. We hope that, with even more money raised at this year’s event, we can begin to roll out the COPE program to more hospitals in Chester County.” Sponsorship opportunities for the Chester County Color 5K are available at many levels for companies and individuals. For more information on levels of sponsorship, contact Rebecca Brain, Chester County Communications Coordinator, at 610-344-6279 or email rbrain@chesco.org.

In its bays were tables filled with staff and volunteers from the Chester County Health Department and LCH (La Comunidad Hispana). Attendees were able to receive a flu shot and a wellness screening at no cost during the Oct. 5 event. Flu shots were provided by the Chester County Health Department. Insured community members brought their ID cards, and those without insurance were still able to receive a flu shot at no cost. Children as young as six months old received the vaccine. “This is such important community outreach,” said Michele Steiner, immunization program coordinator for the health department. “Flu season is upon us, and the more people who receive the vaccine, the fewer outbreaks we will have that lead to kids missing school and parents missing work.” The wellness screenings were provided by LCH. Community members were able to get their height and weight, pulse, sugars, and
blood pressure checked by an LCH medical assistant along with an opportunity to chat with an LCH provider. LCH Certified Nurse Practitioner Deb Moyers was providing the consults during the event. “There were patients that I saw during the event that had alarmingly high blood pressures, and they were not aware of their condition,” she said. “Hypertension is such a scary chronic disease since it can be really hard to catch. I am glad we are able to do community screenings like these, so we can get these folks in to be seen for possible medication and other interventions.” EMS manager John Poole said that they look forward to hosting the screening at the fire station again next year at the October 2019 First Friday. The Chester County Health Department is also hosting upcoming flu shot events. Community members with insurance should bring their ID cards with them to the event, but those without insurance can still receive the vaccine at no cost. Visit www.chesco. org/flu to learn more.

Oxford Homecoming

on the season. “That was a huge play by him.” For his part, McWilliams was happy to help his team walk away with a win in a very tough game. The fact that the exciting victory capped a week of Homecoming activities made the victory even sweeter for the team and its fans who once again packed the stands. “It really feels great to win in front of the Homecoming crowd,” McWilliams said. Both teams turned in a number of plays throughout the game that set the stage for the exciting finish. Prevost threw for more than 300 yards and two touchdowns, including a few really nice completions to wide receiver Brendan O’Donnell. Christopher ran for two touchdowns and had several big gains. Oxford’s running attack, meanwhile, tallied more than 300 yards—running back Tim Faber accounted for 170 of those yards, while Kochmansky picked up 125 yards. Kochmansky scored two touchdowns. Faber scored three times, including a dazzling 70-yard run that gave Oxford a 34-26 lead with 11:35 to play in the game. Great Valley cut the lead to 34-32 with 6:53 left to play when Christopher scored from six yards out, but the two-point conversion failed. Oxford’s defense then made the slim lead stand up. On offense, Oxford was aggressive all game. On one drive alone, the Hornets

went for it on fourth down three times, and made it each time. On another drive, Oxford went for it on fourth-and-15 and picked up 23 yards on a beautiful pass play from Kochmansky to Justin Neskie. That aggressiveness helped Oxford build a 20-7 lead in the second quarter. “Our approach is to be aggressive,” Means said. “That’s really our identity as a team. We’re aggressive. I think I’d be doing a disservice to the team if we didn’t play aggressively in those situations.” On defense, the Hornets
gave up some big plays, but there were also a lot of big plays against a good offensive team. “We gave up 32 points,” Means said. “But I thought our kids played a really physical game on defense.” Oxford played four sophomores on defense as a result of injuries, and the defensive unit turned in a good, hustling effort. Means said that some of the injured players could be back in the lineup in the next week or two as Oxford prepares for the most important games of the season. Means said that the team

is taking it one game at a time and isn’t thinking about the playoffs yet, but there is no question that the victory over Great Valley was important. The Hornets have an away game against Kennett (3-5) on Oct. 19 and a home game against
Bishop Shanahan (3-5) on Oct. 26 to close out the regular season. Two more wins by Oxford should guarantee not just a berth in district playoffs for a second straight year, but possibly a home game in round one. But wins in the Ches-
Mont League are never easy, as the game against Great Valley illustrated, so there could be plenty of excitement still to come in the 2018 season. To contact Staff Writer Steven Hoffman, email editor@chestercounty.com.

Local News Nottingham Art Club completes a unique mural The Nottingham Elementary School Art Club proudly unveiled its recently completed mural created using thousands of recycled bottle caps - at the school’s Meet and Greet for students and parents before the first day of school. During the past school year, Oxford Area High School senior Shelby Ramberger designed and coordinated the project for her Girl Scout Gold Award. The Gold Award, the highest achievement in
Girl Scouting, is presented to girls who demonstrate exceptional leadership skills through the planning, preparation and implementation of a project that has a measurable and sustaining impact on a community. “Collaborative art projects like the bottle cap mural are a fantastic way to create beautiful art, build community, and teach students about the importance of recycling,” said Nottingham art teacher Karen Andress. “The entire school worked
together to collect thousands of bottle caps.” The art club members enthusiastically washed and applied over 4,000 caps to the surface of the 12 x 6-foot mural, turning trash into a masterpiece. “Under Shelby’s leadership, the project took less than two months to complete,” marveled Andress. The bottle cap mural is now on permanent display in the Butterfly Outdoor Classroom at Nottingham Elementary School.
