Drive, walk or run along nearly any of the many winding, twisting roads in New Garden Township and you are likely to see the campaign signs that include the names of the four candidates running to occupy the two seats on the township’s Board of Supervisors, which will be decided in an election to be held Nov. 3. Current board members Patrick Little and Michael Loftus are being challenged by Randy Lieberman and David Unger for six-year terms, all coming at a time when the township seeks to negotiate a proper balance between progress and preservation. As the following profiles indicate, striking that balance is on the front burner of every candidate. The following profiles are listed alphabetically.
Election 2015
Incumbents, challengers vie for seats on New Garden Board
Randy Lieberman – Democrat
Patrick Little – Republican
1. Why are you running for election to the New Garden Township Board of Supervisors? Lieberman: I have a love and passion for New Garden Township. Speaking from my own experience, it’s definitely a wonderful place to live and raise a family, and serving on the Board of Supervisors would allow me to serve this township in a greater capacity. 2. What, in your opinion, are the key issues facing
1. Why are you running for election to the New Garden Township Board of Supervisors? Little: Two years ago when I was first elected as a Supervisor, I would have had a harder time answering this question, but now I better understand where my business background is a benefit to working through the business of the Township. I feel strongly about our need to do a better job of being transparent with the residents, and that always means better communications. I proposed the starting of

Four candidates seek two at-large seats on Oxford School Board
Incumbents appear to be locks in Region I and Region II Electing Boyd By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer Oxford School Board president Donna Arrowood is one of four candidates seeking two of the at-large seats on the school board. Arrowood and Becky Fetterolf are the democrats on the ballot, while Robert Tenga and Mark Patterson are the Republican nominees. Oxford is still in the
process of phasing in three at-large seats that are contested district-wide, while the other six seats on the school board remain divided among the three geographic regions. In Oxford’s Region III, which includes East Nottingham Township and Elk Township, Arrowood and Joseph Tighe, both incumbents, are vying for one seat.
The picture is a lot clearer in the other two regions. Incumbent school director Howard Robinson is the only candidate on the ballot in Region I, which includes Upper Oxford Township, Lower Oxford Township East, and Oxford Borough East. In Region II, which includes West Nottingham Township, Lower Oxford Township West, and Oxford
Borough West, incumbent Gary Olson is the only candidate on the ballot. The Chester County Press reached out to each candidate in the contested races for information about his or her professional background, qualifications, and priorities if they are elected to the school board on Nov. 3. Here’s a look at the responses we received: Continued on Page 4A
Five candidates, including two incumbents, seek seats on Oxford Borough Council By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer © 2007 The Chester County Press
There are three Oxford Borough Council seats up for election this year. Two incumbents, John Thompson, who has earned both the Democratic and Republican nominations,
and Susan Lombardi, who has earned the Democratic nomination, are both seeking re-election. Longtime council member Randy Teel opted not to seek another term, so there will be at least one new council member when the new borough council convenes in January.
In addition to the incumbents, the candidates are Peggy Russell, who earned the Democratic nomination, Kathy Quillen, a planning commission member who earned the Republican nomination, and Chauncey Boyd, who earned the Republican nomination.

would be a low for Oxford By Uncle Irvin
Former Oxford School Board director and president Chauncey Boyd, who left public office after a career of insulting and abusing his fellow school board members and members of the public – and having his residence put up for sheriff sale – just started warming up for his new job as a candidate for Oxford Borough Council in the November election with an incident of alleged public harassment against an Oxford parking enforcement officer who ticketed Boyd’s truck for an expired meter. The officer filed a criminal complaint with the state police on Oct. 15, 2015. The victim said the incident occurred on June 26 at 401 Market Continued on Page 3A

Hicks faces Kimmel in E. Marlborough race By John Chambless Staff Writer At the Oct. 5 meeting of the East Marlborough Board of Supervisors, Christine Kimmel sat with the board, listening closely and getting a closeup of how the members interact. Kimmel, a Republican, topped former supervisor Richard Hicks in the May primary, and both are seeking to fill a vacancy left by current board president Cuyler Walker, who has decided not to pursue re-election. Hicks is running as a Democrat. Kimmel has worked closely with current supervisor John Sarro, who supported her campaign, and who sat next to her at the Oct. 5 meeting. Kimmel is the Republican party’s endorsed candidate for supervisor. She was a longtime member of the township’s Planning Commission. She has lived in East Marlborough Township and worked in Chester County for the past 18 years. She is an attorney with the West Chester law firm of Buckley, Brion, McGuire & Morris LLP. She has served as a member of the Unionville Regional Planning Commission, the Longwood Cooperative Planning Project, the Kennett Area Regional Planning Commission, and the Unionville Park Planning Commission. “I have served on the Township Planning Commission for 12 years,” Kimmel said in
an interview in May. “During that time, I have worked closely with the Board of Supervisors on many issues. As a zoning and land use attorney, I have appeared before many municipalities across Pennsylvania and I’ve seen how effective a well run township can be in improving the lives of its residents. I want to bring that experience to East Marlborough. I think the township is a wonderful place to live and raise a family, and I would like to serve the township in a greater capacity.” Kimmel’s position on the Planning Commission will be filled seamlessly, she said. “Two members of the Planning Commission – Pat Montague and MaryNell Ferry -- have been serving as long or longer than me and will maintain continuity,” Kimmel said. “With their guidance and with the fresh perspectives offered by Charles Streitweiser and our newest member, Jane Donze, the Planning Commission will continue to give excellent input on development and planning issues.” Kimmel said she has knowledge and skills that will help her in her position on the board. “As a zoning, land use and municipal lawyer for almost 20 years, I understand the challenges faced by local governments, and how to balance competing interests,” she said. “Having
served on state, regional and local boards, I understand the necessity of collaboration to solve problems. As a business lawyer, I know the importance of listening to, and working with, the business community to stimulate economic growth. As a partner in a law firm, I understand what it takes to make a payroll, pay the bills and stay within budget. “The primary challenge facing East Marlborough, and most other townships, is how to provide essential services efficiently while keeping taxes low,” she said. “To do this requires leaders who are keenly sensitive to public needs and open to creative solutions. As I have been out visiting residents, many of them have expressed concerns about smart growth in the township. My background is particularly suited to address this. Other issues include funding emergency services and supporting the school district in maintaining excellence and keeping children safe.” – Hicks, an East Marlborough supervisor for 12 years, said that among his concerns is “in regard to development in the area that is going unattended by the majority of our current Board of Supervisors. This proposed development will have a major impact not only on our area roads that already suffer disrepair, but on the infrastructure that
would support it. “There are continued plans in place to develop Kennett Borough and adjoining municipalities. Has anyone thought to ask how this will impact East Marlborough Township?” Hicks asked. “Where will the traffic go? The obvious answer is through the adjoining developments, or to continue through our country roads. These roads were not meant to carry the amount of traffic that will be generated from these developments, combined with pending development in East Marlborough Township. Another matter is the Old Fire Hall in Unionville, which the township recently purchased. Nothing has been done with this building, which could be a viable asset to the township if put to good use. And remember the bike path? What happened to that, and what was the final cost to the taxpayers?” Hicks said, “I have been a resident of Chester County all of my life, living in East Marlborough for the last 50 years, and before that in West Marlborough Township. My family is firmly rooted in the area, and has been for more than a century, predominantly in the farming/agricultural industry. I believe strongly in the concept of preservation and the necessity of making responsible decisions. I was instilled with a strong sense of community involvement, and

subsequently have been an active volunteer firefighter for the Po-Mar-Lin Fire Company since 1970. “I am well versed in codes regarding building, zoning, and municipal requirements. I have been employed as a Municipal Building Codes Official and Zoning Officer for over 20 years, and previous to that I managed my own contractor business. I believe my experience has provided me with a well-rounded basis for understanding what and how possible development may impact our taxpayers. “I am in favor of development, as long as it is responsible development,” Hicks continued. In September postings on his campaign website (www. democracy.com/RichHicks), Hicks wrote, “Open and transparent government is the best tool against corruption in government. I will work to make sure that our township promotes a culture of transparency in all that we do and utilize new technologies so that our
decisions, our actions will be effective and our elected officials will be held accountable. That what every resident should expect and that what every resident deserves. “Local government must use a long-range vision for local projects, while making sure that every dollar that is spent is necessary and accountable to the taxpayer,” Hicks added. “Partnering with our neighboring municipalities is key to building a stronger community and will allow us to share resources and reduce costs. I understand the importance of working with our neighbors because I served as President of the Chester County Association of Township Supervisors. I saw firsthand the value in working with our neighbors to improve everyone’s community.” For information about the Nov. 3 election, visit www. chesco.org/election.

Local News NEW GARDEN Township Board of Supervisors
Election 2015
Lieberman... Continued from Page 1A
New Garden Township, and how do they meld with the key issues of your campaign? Lieberman: I have a very balanced approach that I would like to help develop as a supervisor. It starts with stimulating opportunities for both economic development and open space, and I firmly believe that both can be achieved with the right management. It begins with the need to develop infrastructure. The most crucial problem in New Garden is the intersection of Old Baltimore Pike and Newark Road, and if we are able to improve that corridor, it would enable the next stage of economic development to begin, from Old Baltimore Road, north to Newark Road and all the way up to Route 1, including the New Garden Flying Field and Modern Mushroom. If that became a viable lane of commerce, the township would be able to link it with more jobs, and thus be in a better position to manage and create its open space. 3. If you are elected to the Board, what are those issues affecting the township that you would most want to see either addressed, improved or removed from the township, at the end of your time on the Board? Lieberman: I would like to see a viable, landmark company set up shop in New Garden Township, and offer white-collar employment opportunities, in order to add to the township’s tax portfolio, while at the same time, create more opportunities for increased open space, in order to find that perfect balance. Achieving this would guarantee that New Garden Township will remain a great place to live.

Street in Oxford. The parking enforcement officer swore in a criminal complaint that Boyd made racial slurs including calling her a “beaner” and threatened to fire her when he was elected to council. After leaving as school board member, Boyd has the unmitigated gall to offer himself as a public servant again after being elected to the Oxford Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. This newspaper has publicly accused Boyd of being a bully, causing Boyd to file a federal defamation lawsuit (which was later dropped) and threaten another lawsuit after being served by the Sheriff of Chester County to sell his house for unpaid debt. Electing Boyd to Borough Council would be a new low for the council and the town.
Reject Royer for judge By Uncle Irvin The Chester County GOP has done a respectable job over the years in endorsing county judges. Several have been appointed to the federal bench, and one was appointed to the Federal Appellate by the President. Because of the heavy GOP registration majority, Democrats often get lost in the shuffle. Unfortunately, this year, the Chester County GOP organization endorsed a lawyer for judge who does not have the legal respect of her colleagues. Allison Bell Royer did not pursue her peers’ support by failing to participate in the Bar Association plebiscite. Earlier in her political career, Royer ran for judge and was denied support by the Bar Association. Afraid of being rebuked again, Royer did not participate in the Bar vote and somehow got endorsed by the GOP over two other judicial candidates who passed the bar exam, making her a better politician than a judge – just what you don’t want. Tell the GOP bosses that you demand qualified candidates and skip over Royer’s name on the ballot. (Uncle Irvin’s columns are his opinions only, and are not news stories.)
Michael Loftus – Republican
David Unger - Democrat
1. Why are you running for re-election to the New Garden Township Board of Supervisors? Loftus: I am seeking re-election to continue the work started when I was appointed to the Board of Supervisors. I believe in the importance of being active on a local level and participating in local government to serve the needs to the community.
1. Why are you running for election to the New Garden Township Board of Supervisors? Unger: I’m running because I feel the next 10 years in New Garden Township are going to be very important in terms of development and infrastructure. As Kennett Borough and Kennett Township continue to grow, there will be increased pressure on arterial roads that run through New Garden Township, that lead to these two locations. Addressing and improving transportation routes in our township is a crucial part of my platform.
2. What, in your opinion, are the key issues facing New Garden Township, and how do they meld with the key issues of your campaign? Loftus: New Garden is a diverse community comprised of families, a strong agricultural community, small and large businesses, and homeowners. All in the community are concerned with their economic well being, feeling safe and secure in their homes and in the community, and preserving the aesthetic Chester County countryside that attracted many residents to the area. Balancing how the township provides municipal services, resolves community issues, creates a place that is attractive to businesses, and preserves open space – is an ongoing process. As a current supervisor, I have worked with my colleagues on the board to strike a proper balance. 3. If you are re-elected to the Board, what are those issues affecting the township that you would most want to see either addressed, improved or removed from the township, at the end of your time on the board? Loftus: I would like to see the township continue our efforts to preserve open space, as funds allow. Working as a board, we will continue to look to make the area more attractive to business. Public safety concerns are not just a problem for large municipal areas. For that reason, it is important that the township continue to evaluate our needs and provide the appropriate level of community based police service for the the residents and business of the township. Family: Wife Jan, three children Age: Did not disclose Years lived in township: More than 21 years Previous Related Experience: Current New Garden Township Supervisor; member, New Garden Township Planning Commission for more than 16 years, holding all positions on the Commission; past member, Kennett Regional Planning Commission; served 12 years as Northeast Regional Director of professional trade association, and on its board of directors.

the Township’s electronic newsletter, as an example of better communications.
2. What, in your opinion, are the key issues facing New Garden Township, and how do they meld with the key issues of your campaign? Unger: I believe the key issue will be how to manage the township’s growth moving forward. New Garden Township is a special place, with a country aesthetic and the ability to see the stars at night and yet with the opportunity to visit nearby Kennett Square, or Wilmington or Philadelphia. It will be important to manage how we grow in the future, so that we can maintain all of that. We do not want to end up like Concord Township and Delaware County, where they have tended to pave everything over. We need to look strategically at where the township’s assets are and create opportunities there, such as along the Route 1 Corridor, while continuing to maintain the rural areas of Landenberg and beyond. 3. If you are elected to the Board, what are those issues affecting the township that you would most want to see either addressed, improved or removed from the township, at the end of your time on the Board? Unger: I would like to see more affordable housing built, the sort that is high density that allows you to have more housing in a smaller footprint, instead of homes that take up sprawling, large amounts of acreage. I’d like to see young professionals get a chance to live here and enjoy our resources, while still being able to commute to Kennett Square and larger cities. It would serve as a pressure relief valve to allow people to come in the area, but not take up as much open space. Smaller developments allow for increased millage rates, but are less of a drain on the school systems. Family: Single Age: 30 Years lived in township: 19 years Previous Related Experience: has served on the New Garden Township election board since 2007; New Garden Township Judge of Elections, 2009-13; committee person for the Democratic Party in the township since 2009. Website: www.democracy.com/ungerfornewgarden
2. What, in your opinion, are the key issues facing New Garden Township, and how do they meld with the key issues of your campaign? Little: The key issue is the mix of well thought out commercial development and our plan for more open space. Managing our budgets and expenditures is an ongoing concern. The Township just completed a proposal for a long term comprehensive plan. Implementing this plan is an issue that needs to be considered. Improving our roads both State and Township is a constant issue for the betterment of the Township.
3. If you are re-elected to the Board, what are those issues affecting the township that you would most want to see either addressed, improved or removed from the township, at the end of your time on the Board? Little: In 2013, we had roughly ten thousand employees as part of New Garden’s tax base. We’re down to 7,000. Our tax base has decreased. The number of taxable buildings, the amount of taxable land, has decreased over the last seven years, while inflation has gone up 12 or 13 percent. If we want to be more rural, then we need to cut our expenses, if we want to keep these services, then we need additional well thought out development, and or increase taxes. In the short term we have a decision to make on the selling of our sewer system. If we do sell the system, we need to be far planning in our use of those monies. There’s no attractive way to get in or out of New Garden Township. We need to start lobbying politically, in order to come up with a long-term plan to develop southwestern Chester County, and a part of that is to look at the main roads that come through New Garden Township.

Oxford School Board candidates
Donna (Aylsworth) Arrowood
Becky Zell Fetterolf
Joseph E. Tighe
Q: How long have you lived in the Oxford Area School District? A: I am a lifelong resident of the Oxford Area School District.
Q: How long have you lived in the Oxford Area School District? A: I have lived in Oxford for over 30 years. I attended Oxford from K-12 and graduated in 1998. I currently live in Elk Township with my husband (who also graduated from Oxford), our three kids, and our “farm” of animals.
Q: How long have you lived in the Oxford Area School District? A: We moved to OASD in September 2003. My wife grew up here and graduated from OASD, and I think it is a wonderful place to live and raise a family.
Q: How long have you served on the Oxford School Board? A: This is my fourth year serving on the board. I have been president for the last two years. Q: What accomplishments or improvements has the Oxford Area School District had during your time on the board? A: We gained a well-qualified Superintendent and a well-qualified Assistant Superintendent to lead our district. We are implementing updated programs and updated policies. We have brought back cursive handwriting for students in third and fourth grades. We have kept our property tax increases to a minimum without cutting programs. We are currently in a good financial position for the increased costs the district will be facing. We have reached an agreement with the Oxford Area Education Association. We also followed through with a suggestion of former board member Kurt Haegele and named the high school auditorium the James S. Herr Auditorium.
Q: How have you been involved with the school district or its schools? A: I have three kids, and two of them are school age— my oldest is in 4th grade and my middle child is in 2nd grade. I help as much as needed in their classrooms, but I’m also very active in their extracurricular activities. I coach soccer, lacrosse, and junior robotics, and I am a Girl Scout troop leader. Q: Why are you seeking a seat on the Oxford School Board? A: Having graduated from OAHS and now having young kids in the district, I want to make sure that decisions are being made with the future of Oxford schools in mind. I am the voice of a mother, a longtime Oxford resident, and a taxpayer. My background in education and my passion for quality education for all students make me an asset to the board.
Q: Can you tell us about your professional background? A: I am a graduate of Oxford Area High School and Goldey Beacom. While attending school, I spent several summers working in the high school and administration offices. After I graduated, I worked in the Business Office of the school district for approximately 30 years with a 10-year break in service to stay home with my children.
Q: Can you tell us about your professional background? A: Since graduating from Penn State in 2002, I’ve worked at the International Literacy Association (formerly the International Reading Association) in Newark, Delaware. When I started, I edited our scholarly journals and books on literacy research and strategies, but my current role is to develop professional development

Continued on Page 5A
Q: How long have you served on the Oxford School Board? A: Nearly four years. I was elected in November 2011. Q: What accomplishments or improvements has the Oxford Area School District had during your time on the board? A: Our greatest achievement, in my opinion, has been the fact that we have kept real estate tax increases to their lowest level in years, most years with no increase at all, without canceling or cutting back on any programs for our school children. In addition, during my tenure, we have replaced the entire district administrative team, provided iPads for every student in the High School, and changed the school board meetings into efficient, productive, gatherings instead of the angry, drawn out, yelling matches they were when I arrived. Q: Can you tell us about your professional background? A: My professional background has been in the financial sector for more than 30 years. I am a Certified Public Accountant and a Certified Financial Planner. My CPA practice is in Wilmington, Del., where I am one of three partners. This is probably why the board keeps electing me to be the treasurer. Q: What other qualifications, professional experiences, or service to the community should voters know about?

Q: What other qualifications, professional experiences, or service to the community should voters know about? A: I have a real working knowledge of this school district–knowledge gained as a member of the community, a student, a parent, a member of the Home and School Association, and especially as an employee. The Oxford Area School District has been a major part of my life. Q: What would be some of your priorities if you were re-elected to the Oxford School Board? A: The safety of our students and staff needs to be our top priority. We need to continue to fill any vacancies with well-qualified people. The board will be negotiating contracts or agreements with our support staff and our administrators within the next two years. We also need to continue keeping any real estate tax increase as small as possible without cutting educational programs.

Q: What would be some of your priorities if you were elected to the Oxford School Board? A: My top priority is fiscal responsibility without sacrificing the diverse academic and extracurricular opportunities that currently exist. Another priority is to make schools a place where a love of learning is fostered. There is more to an education than just what is learned between the school bells, and there is more to a child (and the child’s teacher) than what is measured on an assessment.

A: My main qualifications are my ability to remain level-headed in the most stressful of situations and my consistent professional treatment of everyone I encounter, regardless of background or education. My parents taught me at an early age to be respectful of everyone you meet, and to help others whenever and wherever you can. I am always fair and impartial, and I will always advocate for equal treatment of everyone. In addition to serving on the school board, I am the treasurer of our local church and my wife is a Sunday school teacher and worship leader. Q: What would be some of your priorities if you were re-elected to the Oxford School Board? A: I believe the main priority is to continue to keep real estate taxes at the lowest level possible without hurting or hindering the programs available to our students. We need to balance taking care of our kids and our community members at the same time. Other priorities are to continue to improve our technology, our sports and cultural programs, and always remember the importance of our relationships with the community, the teachers, the administration and, most of all, the students. They are why we are here. Editor’s note: Efforts to contact candidates Robert Tenga and Mark Patterson, including through Oxford Area Republican Committee chairperson Jane Ladley, were unsuccessful.

be getting a $55,800 grant from State Farm to install a commercial-grade kitchen. The Kennett Garage will be getting a similar set-up. The idea is to teach young people how to shop for fresh ingredients, prepare nutritious meals, and to share those ideas with their families at home. The reward is fostering better nutrition for a low-income community that too often relies on fast food, teaching teens lifelong skills, and possibly sparking the career of a future superstar chef or two. But on Thursday afternoon, it was time for the grant announcement and a photo or two. Kristin Proto, the executive director of the West Grove Garage, smiled and said, “Food in general is a popular activity for this age group. But for us, making sure that kids know what nutritious meals they can create for themselves is more important. They’re eventually going to be able to make snacks and meals for other organizations and take them to the community. For instance, Family Promise is opening right around the corner. That’s a homeless shelter. The kids will be able to make a meal and take it up there for families in need. And the kids can learn skills that they can hopefully use as a career one day, or just in their homes.” The Garage currently has a kitchen counter, microwave and a blender, and things like chips and cookies are available. But putting in a stove will bring a whole new dimension to the lives of the teens who To contact Staff Writer go there – 90 percent of John Chambless, email whom come from impover- jchambless@chestercounty. ished backgrounds. com.

State Farm agent P.J. Mullin spoke briefly to the crowd of teens. “You guys are the next generation of our community leaders, and we’re really proud of you guys for what goes on here at the Garage,” he said. “Your organization was one of six in Pennsylvania to receive a Youth Advisory Board grant.” The State Farm Youth Advisory Board is made up of 30 students, ages 17 to 20, from the United States and Canada, and they have granted more than $36 million since the board began in 2006, reaching 520 communities. Every year, they allocate $5 million in grants to projects like the Garage. State Farm public affairs specialist Dwayne Redd said it’s the company’s way of giving back. “It’s an opportunity for us to invest back in the community and help these students understand that making healthy choices is a cool thing,” he said. Proto said now that the funding is in place, it’s time to secure the equipment, line up contractors and go through all the licensing steps required. “We do have to go through the health department to get certified,” she said. “We’ve been in contact with them and they’re really supportive and excited for us. We have to get certified as food handlers to make sure we’re doing everything safely. We’ll need to get inspections completed, but we’re confident and really excited to get started.” She expected the kitchen to be up and running, with a little luck, by early next year.

Why should I vote YES for Open Space on Nov 3rd?
1. Hold property taxes from DOUBLING 2. INCREASED real estate equity 3. LOWER food prices 4. STRONGER local economy 5. LESS traffic congestion 6. HIGHER quality & standard of life 7. ENHANCED fresh water resources 8. HIGHER quality & organic foods 9. Strengthen our economic SECURITY 10. It’s the RIGHT THING to do 11. Voting YES will cost next to nothing One way to look at it is that Open Space programs bring Local, State and Federal funds into a community to fortify the framing efforts, minimize pollution, and enhance the quality of life. On the other hand, housing developments cause millions of dollars of profits to leave the area in the pockets of the developers, create pollution and congestion problems, and increase property taxes for all residents for the rest of eternity. Through self-serving, greedy, thoughtless government policies this country has lost its manufacturing sector, is Agriculture next? Do we really want to start getting our milk from China?

PAID ADVERTISEMENT O ENTCOHG O East Nottingham Township Citizens for Open and Honest Government Mission Statement
Local Republican Leadership Has Corrupted the Election Process. Notification All documentation referred to in this letter can be obtained by writing an email to ENTCOHG@gmail.com. It has become apparent that the Area 19 Republican Committee has gone rogue under the leadership of Coalition for Advancing Freedom (CAF) Tea Party leader, ENT Supervisor, and Republican Committee Chair, Jane Ladley. Over the past few years the Oxford Area Republican Committee (OARC) has been infiltrated and high jacked by CAF members who have corrupted the endorsement process. Their activity has even extended to circulating alleged illegal political mailers with false information, which we believed, was an attempt to influence this past May’s primary election. ENT COHG has in its possession four separate alleged illegal political mailers we believe violated PA Election laws. The mailers range in time from the General Election of 2014 involving state candidates, and the primary election of 2015 involving county and local candidates. Two of the mailers contained misleading, and downright false, information pertaining to John P. Coldiron, who was the Republican endorsed candidate running for East Nottingham Township Supervisor. The false statement is as follows: "During his tenure on the board he led the effort and voted to lower the local earned income tax by 50%." The fact is that there has never been a vote put on the table or motioned by the ENT Board of Supervisors to lower our Earned Income Tax (EIT) by 50%. We also believe that this false statement was an attempt to mislead voters on the open space issue. We believe that this statement was an effort to influence the voters to support Coldiron. What makes all of the mailers a legal issue is the fact that they did not contain the required "Paid for by" disclaimer required by law. We also believe that when those mailers were put into an envelope and stamped that they could possibly have committed mail fraud, a federal offence. This is not the first time CAF Leader,
Supervisor, and Committee Chair, Jane Ladley has used campaign dollars to finance literature containing false information to attack the open space program. In 2011, when she was running for Supervisor, Ladley circulated a mailer containing false information about the open space program. These mailers were paid for by LKB for Good Government. This was the campaign finance committee for CAF leader Ladley's election as Supervisor. Who is responsible for these mailers? Who approved the expenditures for the OARC Area 19 Republican Committee? According to an April 29, 2015 email from Area 19 Rep Committee Chair, Jane Ladley, she is. In addition, the minutes of the Area 19 th Committee meeting that was held on May 7 2015 state the following: "Donna commented that in her 5 years of being on Committee, the expenditures were never formally taken up for a vote by the entire Committee. Instead the request for expenditures was always made to the Area Chair, who gave authorization." According to the campaign finance report filed by OARC for primary election they spent $646.31 to circulate the mailers in question. On October 20th just before the monthly township meeting Supervisor Ladley and Board appointed Supervisor Joe Raffa asked me to have a sit down to discuss some issues after the meeting. During the meeting the subject of the illegal mailers came up including the mailer from 2011. Supervisor Ladley was quick to put the blame of the false statements in the mailers on to John P. Coldiron. After I stated that in 2011 Coldiron was not running for office that she was and that she authorized the mailers she responded by saying the she did not have to defend herself to me. In addition to the mailer issue Board appointed Supervisor Raffa announced that he was going to do a write in for the November election and asked for my support. I found this to be completely inappropriate at
the time knowing that the Republican Area Chair was sitting with us. What is wrong with this picture? We have several questions about the OARC endorsement process. The first one is why were residents not provided with sample ballots prior to the Primary Election listing the Republican endorsed candidates for statewide, county and local offices? Here is a possible reason…during the Primary election cycle and on Primary Election Day, some of our CAF-led Republican Committee people were caught supporting un-endorsed candidates running at the County and State level. They were even caught handing out sample ballots that were not approved by the Republican Party. Most voters rely on their committee people to inform them of the issues and who to vote for, especially for the less-known positions and candidates at the county and state level. We believe that in Area 19 the voters in the last election were kept in the dark by members of the CAF-controlled Republican Committee who were not in support of some of the county and state endorsements. If this isn’t a manipulation of the voters with the express intent to influence the outcome of an election, we don’t know what is. Now the CAF dominated Area 19 Rep Committee is trying to manipulate the outcome of November’s election by not putting the names of the candidates, those candidates who you the voters chose to represent them in the General Election, on their sample ballots. In other words, they are defying the decision of the Area 19 republican voters. CAF doesn’t like who the Republican voters chose, so they are going to try to manipulate you into voting for their candidates. So when you are approached by your Republican committee people on your way to vote next week, take the time to ask them if the people on their sample ballot are the people who actually won the Primary last May.
Ladley exposed on slander lawsuit no accountability for CAF Leader One of the fundamental principles of the Tea Par ty movement in our countr y is accountability. The suppor ters of this movement strive to hold Politicans accountable for their promises, decisions, and votes. This is also one of the Coalition for Advancing freedom initiatives that you can find on their website. Evidently this initiative does not apply to some of the leadership of the CAF organization. Over the past year ENT COHG has been asked what happened with the slander lawsuit against Supervisor Jane Ladley. We have heard a number of reasons that have been given to residents such as “it was dismissed for a lack of evidence”, “there was no merit to the case” and then the ever popular “nobody knows”. How about the truth. Supervisor Ladley claimed that she should have high public official immunity. This court case will not be herd by the courts on its merits and facts because Supervisor Ladley asked for and has received immunity. Anyone who would like to read the court’s decision and reasoning on their decision you can an email to ENTCOHG@Gmail.com and we will send it to you. This is the chain of events that took place on 8-13-2013 which led up the lawsuit against CAF leader Ladley. These facts are documented, and there is a full length video of
the incident. At the start of the Township meeting Supervisor Ladley asked to be added to the agenda. She never stating why or what she wanted to discuss. When it came to her turn on the agenda she immediately put a motion on the table to have a feasibility study done for the Wyndham Creek development. Supervisor Ladley made the motion and John P. Coldiron seconded it. Supervisor Ladley then attempted to read a statement into the record but was cut off by Supervisor Blum in order to hear what a resident from Wyndham Creek had to say. After the resident spoke Supervisor Ladley made her statement. It was clear to anyone present and after reviewing the video, that Supervisor Ladley came to the meeting prepared to read her statement. It was later determined that the motion for the feasibility study that she made was illegal do to an alleged Sunshine Act violation. The action was presented again at the next meeting. A statement was read into the record acknowledging the mistake at the next township meeting, however, the statement was not put into the minutes. Unless you were present at the meeting you would never know that Supervisor Ladley’s
PAID ADVERTISEMENT
motion was illegal and had to be redone. When the resident from Wyndham Creek was done speaking Supervisor Ladley read her prepared statement that she had begun before she was interrupted by the Chair. This is the statement for which she was sued. You can read the complete accounting of her statement in the court decision that you can obtain from ENTCOHG@gmail.com. It was obvious by anyone present at the meeting that this whole issue involving the slanderous statement was nothing but an orchestrated bullying tactic by Supervisor Ladley. It was stated by residents that it was an attempt to quiet the residents of Wyndham Creek from speaking out against the Board of Supervisors and the handling of their Community problem. Supervisor Ladley was not sued as a Supervisor, but rather as an individual. She immediately turned to the Township for legal representation and was ultimately given high public official immunity. Although Supervisor Ladley was not held accountable by our legal system, she WILL be held accountable in the court of public opinion and, eventually by a much higher authority.

Boon’s four scores lead Unionville past Kennett By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer Unionville’s quest for a Ches-Mont League championship continued last Friday night when they defeated Kennett, 42-7, in front of a large home crowd. While the final score didn’t necessary reflect the sports rivalry that exists between the two schools that are separated by about two miles, the hard-hitting action on the field certainly did. Unionville relied on a familiar formula to claim the early lead: An aggressive, hustling defense stifles the opponent while quarterback Brendan Boyle and running back Brandon Boon provide the offensive spark. On the first series of the game, Unionville middle linebacker Trevor Gardiner sacked Kennett’s freshman quarterback Mitch Kosara on a third-and-six play, forcing Kennett to punt. Unionville took over in Kennett territory, and on the first play from scrimmage Boon darted past the interior linemen, broke free down the left sideline, and outran everyone to the end zone, putting the Indians on the board with a 7-0 lead less than three minutes into the game. Kosara and running back Myles Robinson turned in a valiant effort against Unionville’s formidable defense. Kennett marched from its own 23-yard line to the two-yard line of
Unionville on its second offensive series. The big plays were a 24-yard carry by Kosara, a tough 13-yard run by Robinson, and a 15-yard pass from Kosara to running back Frankie Perigo that moved the ball to the two-yard line. Unionville’s defense responded to the challenge, pushing Kennett backward on two straight running plays and then stopping a pass play that came up short of the goal line. Kennett attempted a field goal, but it was no good. Boyle engineered an 82-yard drive that resulted in a touchdown early in the second quarter. Boon scored again, this time from two yards out, giving the Indians a 14-0 lead. Unionville boosted its lead to 20-0 on a lateral from Boyle to backup quarterback Jason Hagen, who fired a strike to—who else?—Boon for a 41-yard touchdown. Boon found himself in the end zone for the fourth time in the game when he scored from 11 yards out with 2:50 left in the second quarter, making it 27-0. He finished the game with 141 rushing yards on 11 carries. He also had the 41-yard reception, and a good kickoff return for good measure. “Brandon really carried us in the first half,” explained Unionville head coach Pat Clark. In the second half, Tyler Marmo and Dante Graham scored rushing touchdowns to take a 42-0 lead. Unionville’s special teams

Kennett 0 0 0 7— — 7 Unionville 7 20 15 0— — 42 combined for 150 rushing yards against a tough defense. Kennett head coach Doug Langley also praised the effort of players like Perigo and freshman linebacker Colin Fowler. Langley said that he is pleased with the team’s effort, especially considering the injury issues that it is facing. “They’ve given me everything they’ve got, and that’s all I can ask for,” Langley explained. Evidence of that was the scoring drive that Kennett put together late in the third quarter and early in the
shaken up during the drive and was forced out of the action. Langley said after the game that they were keeping an eye on the freshman quarterback for concussion-like symptoms. The coach added that this is the fourth injury that a Kennett quarterback has experienced this season. Kennett, which now has a 2-6 record, hosts a game against Oxford on Friday night at 7 p.m. Unionville, meanwhile, is building momentum as the regular season draws to a conclusion. The Indians can claim at least a share

of the league crown with a win over 0-8 Octorara on Friday night. They finish the regular season with a home game against Sun Valley, a team that is currently 2-6. “Our first goal is to win the league championship,” said Clark. The coach added that he wants his team to work on correcting a few things, specifically the three fumbles that the team lost against Kennett, as well as the large number of penalties that were committed. Unionville and Kennett both got called for unnecessary penalties during the hard-fought game, illustrating the rivalry between the two squads. “These are high school kids and they still can get caught up in the moment,”
Clark explained. Unionville has won four of its last five games, including hard-fought victories over Bayard Rustin and Great Valley, and the defense has turned in some good efforts. Even when the victory over Kennett was assured, the Unionville defense continued to hustle. In the second half, when some of the reserves were in, the Indians’ defense still worked hard to keep Kennett off the scoreboard. “These guys have a lot of pride in our program,” Clark explained. “Our JV team is undefeated right now. The kids are really buying in.” To contact Staff Writer Steven Hoffman, email editor@chestercounty.com.

Two campaigns run on ideas
In East Nottingham, vote “yes” on referendum to stabilize taxes, protect farmland
In every political campaign, there is usually enough of a dichotomy of personalities and platform rhetoric to turn our election seasons into a kind of Noah’s Ark of choices. Scroll the current landscape and peruse the existing climate, and you will see two of everything: hawks and doves, New Wave reformers and Old Guard conservatives, loudmouths and soothsayers, and long-winded manifestos and ten-second soundbites. In the race to occupy the Board of Supervisors seat in Kennett Township soon to be vacated by Robert Hammaker, you will find not a trace of vitriol or the finger-pointing accusations that have poisoned so many campaigns, both nationally and here in southern Chester County. Rather, the work that candidates Whitney Hoffman and Ted Moxon are doing in their campaigns to become the next Kennett Township supervisor are to be commended for their Jedi-like focus on the issues that will affect Kennett Township residents for decades to come. As detailed in two profiles that appeared in last week’s edition of the Chester County Press, the respective campaigns of Hoffman and Moxon are studies in contrast. Hoffman is campaigning on the platform of increasing public safety; developing a more visible form of financial transparency; and boosting sustainable development, seen through increased Internet capability. If elected, she plans to use her knowledge of digital media to help the township acquire high-speed Internet services. Moxon’s platform leans heavily on preserving open space, supporting increased trail networks, and examining ways of decreasing township taxes. They have given the voters of Kennett Township the assurance that if elected, several of the key issues facing the township will be addressed over the course of their term on the board. They have insisted that if elected, they will use their own voice, and not those of the township’s Old Republican Guard in Moxon’s case, or those of Board Chairman Scudder Stevens and board member Dr. Richard Leff, as Hoffman has vowed. When it comes to local elections, we at the Chester County Press will occasionally get our fingers smudgy in the local political fray, whether by wrestling with the various talking points raised by our candidates, or sometimes endorsing one individual over another. In the upcoming election that will decide the next supervisor of Kennett Township, however, we’re staying clear of this one. It’s a toss-up of differing viewpoints, as is the common nature of our political system, and it’s for the residents of Kennett Township to decide. This, however, we choose to weigh in on: That the campaigns of Hoffman and Moxon are each substantive in their platforms and, even more importantly, being conducted on the rare plane of mutual admiration. After Nov. 3, only one will earn enough votes to sit alongside Leff and Stevens next year, but each has already earned our respect.
Letter to the Editor: I am writing to you today to discuss the East Nottingham open space referendum and the looming possibility of uncontrollable development in our area. As an East Nottingham Planning Commission member, I see all of the plans for new developments as they come into the township, and there are quite a few. We already have
506 houses scheduled to be built in East Nottingham, even with the open space program in place. However, we also have over 2,000 acres of land in parcels of larger than 20 acres that can still be preserved, and much more land in smaller parcels. That is a lot of land that could turn into housing developments that will cost the residents money if we don’t have a program in place to preserve
these open spaces. I fear that the loss of a program like our Open Space program will spark uncontrollable development in our area. This increase in development will not only affect our local infrastructure and services to residents, it will also be reflected by an equivalent increase in our taxes. And, this tax increase will not just affect East Nottingham residents, it will
spread school district-wide and those that will be affected most severely will be our older, retired residents living on a limited income. Please join me in voting “YES” on Tuesday, Nov. 3. Let’s make sure that we stabilize our taxes and protect our open spaces from”crazy quilt” development. Walt Leis East Nottingham
Kennett Township and Financial Responsibility To the Editor: Up until the last election for Kennett Township Supervisor in 2013, when Dr. Richard Leff joined Scudder Stevens to form a new reform administration, Kennett Township had unfortunately gained a terrible reputation regarding its financial management. Previous administrations routinely co-mingled funds collected for different purposes - open space, sewers, etc.,-- and placed them in the General Fund, contrary to state law and generally accepted accounting practices. Because of this, the apparent General Fund ‘surplus’ had grown to some $10 million, a staggering amount for such a small township. Worse yet, the township did almost no financial planning for long-term infrastructure requirements like road maintenance, sewer construc-
tion and police protection. Therefore it was impossible to tell whether our township had a true financial surplus, or might actually be seriously underfunded. These problems were further compounded by the fact that previous administrations routinely refused to discuss financial matters openly, and stonewalled public demands for an impartial audit of the township’s finances. Their infamous low point was certainly the public unmasking of the unreachable ‘Ed Johnson,’ the auditor who never was, but that was just yet another example of their total disregard of the public trust. After so many years of mismanagement and controversy, it’s no surprise that, even after a change in administration, many residents are still confused about the township’s financial state. Does the township still have a huge
surplus? Is that money being properly managed? Shouldn’t the township be giving at least some of that money back to the taxpayers? The truth is that since becoming the Board of Supervisors majority less than two years ago, Stevens and Leff have completely turned around the township’s financial management. The township’s books are now completely open and routinely audited, and the township’s operating account is even posted online. Moreover, the huge General Fund ‘surplus’ has finally been properly reallocated into various special purpose reserve funds to cover the anticipated longer term costs of township infrastructure development and maintenance, including the acquisition of open space. Due to this careful planning, the remaining General Fund balance is now reduced to a modest, responsible hedge
against unexpected contingencies that will protect both township operations and taxpayers for many years to come. This Nov 3, there is an election for another Kennett Township Supervisor. Only one candidate, Whitney Hoffman, has staunchly supported the financial reforms of Stevens and Leff, and also has had extensive experience managing the finances of several other public organizations. The other candidate is a long-term ally of past administrations, and never voiced any complaints about their years of serious financial mismanagement. For me the choice is clear: I’ll be voting for Whitney Hoffman and I hope you will be as well. The financial future of our township depends on it. Michael Guttman, Kennett Township
Thomas seeks support for Kennett Square Borough Council An open letter to the residents of Kennett Square: The Nov. 3 election is crucial in the Borough of Kennett Square. I am one of six candidates running for three seats on borough council. I am a lifelong resident. I missed a total of two meetings of borough council in the last fourteen years. I have
served on numerous boards and committees over the years that have helped improve Kennett Square. In the last eighty years, eleven members of my family have owned and operated some form of business in the borough. The other five candidates have lived several places over the years, and the longest that any one of them has lived in
Kennett Square is eight years. They have no roots here. Not knowing the other candidates, I educated myself about them by listening to them speak and then, whenever I got the chance, I ask them questions about their vision and what they know of Kennett Square. From what I heard and observed, all seem to be decent
people with good intentions, and some are less qualified. I’ve concluded that the only two viable candidates, besides myself, are Doug Doerfler and Wayne Braffman. I believe we can together make positive changes. They are both from the opposing party, but I only want council members who are for the whole community, and who are for open and hon-
est government. Now that I asked for your support and given my opinion, what is yours? Please come to the polls and vote for whoever you decide is best for our community. It only takes a few minutes, so why don’t you ask a neighbor or a friend or a relative to come with you and support Kennett Square? A non-vote
is the same as an “I-don’tcare” vote. Please see the candidates and ask questions and decide for yourself. Dont let others make the decision for you by not voting. I can be reached at jrt406@verizon.net.
John Thomas Candidate for Kennett Square Borough Council
Public Safety in Kennett Township Letter to the Editor: As Southern Chester County continues to grow, public safety concerns in Kennett Township are understandably growing as well. Township crime and traffic violations are still at relatively low levels, but they are increasing. Fire and emergency services are also concerns. Until a few years ago, Kennett Township relied almost entirely on the state police for first-
response enforcement. But the state police have themselves become increasingly stretched thin over time, and anyway they have no power to enforce local ordinances. For fire and emergency services, Kennett Township relies on volunteer departments, often with overlapping jurisdictions, which can create confusion and problems for residents. The best long-term solution is probably some kind of regional authority for police, fire, and emergency services,

centered around the major population center Kennett Borough, with whom the township already has some resource-sharing arrangements. However, previous township administrations never seriously pursued any kind of regional planning, so any such solution is still probably years off. In the meantime, Kennett Township created its own police department. The basic idea was sound, but unfortunately previous administrations provided
little oversight or accountability. Meanwhile the township donated millions of dollars for the equipment of local volunteer fire and emergency companies without carefully assessing whether this truly reflected Kennett Township’s fair share of these costs, or truly met the township needs. These problems continued until Scudder Stevens and Richard Leff took control of the Board. They acted quickly to bring accountability and new leadership
into the police department, The new police chief, Lydell Nolt, now commands three additional officers focused solely on township safety. The new Supervisors are now also working with our fire and emergency services to make them more effective and responsive, and to reduce overlap and associated taxpayer costs. They have retained consultants to analyze how to make these improvements, and are actively looking for grants to help implement them.
This Nov 3, there is another election for Kennett Township Supervisor. Only one candidate, Whitney Hoffman, fully endorses Steven’s and Leff’s new public safety agenda. She also has ideas of her own on how to encourage more regional cooperation in this area. Let’s keep moving forward. On Nov. 3, please vote for Whitney Hoffman. Jeff Yetter Kennett Township Resident
Remember that only first-time voters must show ID when voting Letter to the Editor: In 2014, the courts ruled that the Pennsylvania Voter ID law violated our state constitution. So you can imagine why I was shocked when, earlier this month, as I entered the Chester County Assistance Office on behalf of a family in need, I saw three inaccurate and misleading posters stating that Pennsylvania’s Voter ID law was in litigation and that you could be required to show
a photo ID. I called the County Assistance Office Administration and left a message for the Director, Michelle Livingston, and asked for the posters to be removed. I explained that these posters should have come down 16 months ago and to please call me if there was any reason that these posters would remain. I was very pleasantly surprised when I walked back into the office a few days later and the inaccurate posters had
been removed and replaced with posters which let readers know that they could and should register to vote. I couldn’t be more pleased with the response to my call. On Tuesday, Nov. 3 you will have the opportunity to vote and unless you are voting for the first time, you can not be asked for a Photo ID. If you are asked for ID, or asked to sign in by anyone other than the judge of elections, just say no. Say no, proudly and with confidence, because it

Letter to the Editor
Vote for Arrowood and Fetterolf Avon Grove schools are for Oxford School Board an example of success Letter to the Editor: I am writing this letter in support of Donna Arrowood and Becky Fetterolf as at-large candidates for Oxford Area School Board. Donna is a lifelong resident of the Oxford area. She graduated from Oxford Area High School, as did her two daughters, and currently has one grandchild attending the school district. She does and always has had a vested interest in the quality of education received by the students of this district, and at the same time she makes sure it is accomplished in a financially responsible manner. Her 30-year tenure working in the school district’s administration offices gives her a tremendous knowledge how a school district is structured and operated.
In my opinion, she has demonstrated those qualities in her past years as a school board member. I have known Donna since our days in high school, and I support her re-election. Becky is a newcomer as a candidate for the school board, but is not new to the Oxford Area schools. I have known her since her days in high school with my son and daughter. She is an Oxford Area High School graduate, and currently has two children attending our district. Her desire to see that the current students of this district receive the same quality education that she obtained is evident by her willingness to commit the time it takes to serve the residents of this community. I strongly believe that a good school board should consist of a mixture of long-time resi-
dents with “sweat equity” in the schools and community, along with “new blood” to bring in fresh ideas and to make sure things are not done a certain way just because “that’s the way we always do it.” While writing this letter, I realized that I wasn’t sure to which party either of these women are registered. But, it really doesn’t matter to me. These school board seats shouldn’t be political, they should be chosen based on who would best represent our kids, our schools, and our community. In my opinion, both of these candidates would serve our community well, and I ask that you join me in supporting them on Nov. 3.
Letter to the Editor:
Avon Grove schools are rated in the top 10 percent in the state of Pennsylvania. Our high school is ranked 35th out of over 600 high schools in the state, and 1,353rd in the United States by US News & World Report. This success is a tribute of years of work. First, by our teachers, who dedicate more than is expected and numerous extra hours to help our students; second, by the school principals and their caring staffs; and third, by talented and hard working administrators like Dr. Sharp, who has been at Avon Grove for years providing leadership and Jim McLeod curriculum planning to our Oxford Borough schools. Congratulations to
you all. We also welcomed a new superintendent, Dr. Marchese, to our team and look forward to furthering our successes with him. Avon Grove does not have an education problem as you can clearly see, but Avon Grove today does have a spending problem. Since I have been on the board, and for years before that, Avon Grove has not had to use its Fund Balance (savings) to cover the budget. Now, for the first time in years, we are being forced to do just that. Today, the Act 1 index cannot provide enough money to cover the increased spending that the school board leadership has approved. If we continue down this road, inevitably, we will run out savings in
the next four-to-six years, depending on how much more spending we take on. We will then be forced to raise taxes much higher, causing hardships for many of our poorer, elderly and unemployed residents. Being an school director at Avon Grove has been a very rewarding experience for me. As you know, I am currently up for re-election, and I would like your support to continue to work with our school leaders to improve the quality and affordability of the Avon Grove schools available to all parents bringing their children to us for a great education. Charles Beatty Avon Grove school director
Board chairman endorses Whitney Hoffman To the Editor: While every election is an important event, an opportunity to renew our individual commitment to our individual and community values, this election in Kennett Township is especially so. This is a year where the electorate nationwide is confused and frustrated. Outsiders with bombastic promises and outlandish charges promise unrealistic and inappropriate change. This approach at the state and federal levels is foolish and dangerous; it is equally so at the township level where the choice is between vision and empty charge. Beginning four years ago, and particularly during the last two years, responsive and open government re-emerged in Kennett Township. Let me mention four of many
examples. I campaigned on the concern that township finances needed to be addressed. You will recall the nonsense of the non-audit. Since that time this situation turned around. Transparency and openness are the rule, professional support and guidance the practice. A ‘real’ audit occurred for each of the past four years and the recommendations of that auditor, and of the Business Advisory Committee (also a new innovation), were implemented. That included setting up and following a true reserve system to define and fund for the future infrastructure needs of the township. As a consequence, the unstructured and uncommitted pool of cash is substantially gone, left with a significantly reduced but adequate surplus reserve for unanticipated needs. While Whitney Hoffman
supports this fiscal prudence, Ted Moxon irresponsibly riles township residents, telling them that we hold 20 million dollars in cash, which, of course, we do not. The current board instituted a plan for open space and conservation easements. It defined what the priorities of the township were and began the implementation of this vision. It included sidewalks and trails, a necessity for a well managed community. As a consequence, a significant easement purchase occurred that supports the vision of a ‘green’ township, open to the use of the community, a vision of a connected regional system. Additional purchases are planned. The reality of that vision can be experienced by walking or biking along Chandler Mill Road and contemplating the forthcoming re-opening of Chandler Mill
Bridge. Whitney Hoffman shares this vision of open space, conservation, and sidewalks and trails. Ted Moxon opposes this vision and interferes in the ordered process mandated by law. Your current supervisors have committed to a plan for sensible development in the township, one that includes both thoughtful managed residential growth, but also economic and commercial growth. Ways Lane needs to be addressed and new businesses encouraged. But that growth should not over burden the infrastructure, and should not unreasonably tax the school system. This plan is designed to increase the tax base but not increase the tax burden. Whitney Hoffman supports managed growth in the township and a well reasoned
documented approach for high speed internet availability to support the township plan. Ted Moxon offers nothing. At the outcry of the residents of the township against unregulated shooting, this Board of Supervisors investigated the concern and enacted an ordinance for the safe use of firearms. While it grew out of the expressed concern of the township residents for a reasonable standard for gun use safety, it also followed the example of other thoughtful Pennsylvania municipalities which also faced a need to address unfettered gun use in a non rural and populated community. That ‘expressed concern’ grew out of numerous public discussions. Whitney Hoffman was one of the many residents who supported enacting a reasonable safety standard. Ted
Moxon, one of three or four opposed to any standard, consistently espoused the NRA mantra, blindly ignoring resident safety. Much has happened in the past four years in Kennett Township, but much remains to be addressed. This continuing progress will depend on who is elected as supervisor this November. I write to endorse Whitney Hoffman. I believe she is the most capable of the two candidates. I believe she has the most heart and commitment to serve. I believe she has the vision and understanding to embrace the challenge. She is the person I want to sit with me as Supervisor of Kennett Township. Scudder G. Stevens Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, Kennett Township

Family Promise of Southern Chester County set to start helping families By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer Dozens of supporters and volunteers of Family Promise of Southern Chester County gathered at the new resource center on West Evergreen Street in West Grove on Oct. 22 to celebrate a milestone. With the grand opening of the resource center, the organization is now set to start helping families in the area who are struggling with homelessness. “I can’t believe, after working on this for almost two years, that the time is finally here. I’m euphoric,” said Rev. Annalie Korengel, the pastor of the Unionville Presbyterian Church, the first church that pledged to serve as a host church for Family Promise of Southern Chester County. The Assumption Blessed Virgin Mary Church in West Grove is providing the space for the resource center. Attendees of the grand opening had the opportunity to tour the facility, meet with the Family Promise of Southern Chester County board members and staff, and celebrate the work of the hundreds of volunteers from local churches, service clubs, and businesses who have helped completely renovate the resource center. Dave Haradon, the president of the Board of Directors of Family Promise of Southern Chester County said, “Many generous people have worked long and hard for this moment by making donations of time, effort, money, and in-kind materials and services. It was really amazing to see the entire community come together to work toward satisfying this critical need.” The goal of Family Promise of Southern Chester County is to help children and their families who are experiencing homelessness in the Oxford, Avon Grove, Kennett Consolidated, and Unionville-Chadds Ford school districts. According to statistics from the Pennsylvania Department of Education, there were 494 school-age children in Southern Chester County impacted by homelessness during the 2013-2014 school year alone. State Sen. Andy Dinniman said that there is a definite need in the community for this kind of an organization to help families who are struggling. “We tend to think
of these problems as if they are happening in a distant place,” Dinniman explained. “But the problems of hunger and of homelessness are very real in Chester County.” Across the state, Dinniman said, there are now 22,000 school-age children who experience homelessness each year, approximately double the number that faced that hardship just eight years ago. Dinniman said that the figures for the 2014-2015 school year should soon be released. “When the new results are out, you will see an increase in that number,” Dinniman said. The sharp increase in the number of children being affected by homelessness, combined with a lack of available shelters in southern Chester County, led to the formation of a task force on homelessness to study available options. The task force, which was comprised of local church and community leaders, ultimately determined that the Family Promise model was the best solution to alleviating homelessness in the area. Family Promise of Southern Chester County is part of a national Family Promise initiative that started in one community in New Jersey in 1986. Family Promise now has operations in 43 states, including 13 affiliates located throughout Pennsylvania, with three more in the process of opening. The mission of the Family Promise initiative is to provide help to children and their families so that they can achieve lasting self-sufficiency and stability. Meals and shelter are provided through a network of volunteers at church congregations. Locally, there are currently 11 host congregations and 13 support congregations committed to participating in the Family Promise program. The goal is to have a full network of 13 host congregations so each congregation will host only four weeks per year. The host congregations will be supported by those support congregations who do not have large enough facilities to accommodate families. The Family Promise of Southern Chester County program will accept four families or 14 people at any one time. The families will stay at a host church facility for
dinner, fellowship, and for overnight accommodations. After being served a breakfast, families will then travel back to the Family Promise resource center where they will work with a case manager to find employment, affordable housing, and learn about other needed social services that may be available. School children will be picked up at the resource center by their schools so that they are able to maintain educational continuity. Family Promise tracks how long it takes families to reach the point where they can be self-sufficient again. The national average for families to find success through the program is 63 days. Eighty percent of the families are successful in maintaining the stability and sustainability after a year. Dinniman said that the efforts of those involved with Family Promise of Chester County are reminiscent of the effort to start the Safe Harbor program in West Chester more than two decades ago. Dinniman, who was a Chester County Commissioner at the time Safe Harbor was established, recalled that in the first year of that program it was based out of a garage. Local faith organizations would offer shelter to the homeless on a rotating basis, much like the Family Promise churches will. “The amazing thing about this program,” Dinniman said, “is that it not only provides housing for the homeless, it will also educate the church members in the community. They will be witnessing for social justice. What Family Promise is doing, similar to Safe Harbor, is helping children who are especially vulnerable. This will be transformative for the community.” County Commissioner Kathi Cozzone issued a proclamation on behalf of her colleagues on the Board of Commissioners honoring the efforts of Family Promise of Southern Chester County. She noted that some people choose hope and work for change, while others simply accept the status quo. “I’m so proud of this group here that opted to go for hope,” Cozzone said. “What you’ve done here is remarkable. I’m uplifted by the spirit of volunteerism that went into this project.”

Lauren Hutzel, the administrator for Decade to Doorways, the county initiative to prevent and end homelessness, lauded the volunteers and supporters of Family Promise of Southern Chester County. “Everyone involved is creating a new legacy for all the families who are helped,” Hutzel said. Hundreds of people, businesses, and organizations have already helped in the effort to launch Family Promise of Southern Chester County. Haradon credited Carrie Freeman, the CEO of the United Way of Southern Chester County, along with Melanie Weiler, the executive director of Kennett Area Community Service, and Katie Uhler, formerly of Kennett Area
Community Service, for beginning the conversation about the need to provide assistance for struggling families in the area. Four rotary clubs— Oxford, West GroveAvondale, Kennett, and Longwood—have been supporters of the program, as has the Kennett Lions Club. Stoner-Wade Ford, Inc. in Quarryville helped get a 15-passenger Ford van for the organization to use. Brandywine Valley Heating installed a new furnace and did in-kind work. Tri-M did the electrical work on the building. Scott Zachary Plumbing refurnished the bathrooms. Haradon said that it has been a rewarding experience to be involved with Family
Promise and all the people who are supporting the organization. “This has just been a marvelous experience working with all these dedicated, caring, and passionate people,” he said. Haradon emphasized that, as Family Promise of Southern Chester County starts providing assistance to local families, the organization needs more volunteers and board members.

Local scenes and landscapes at the Chadds Ford Gallery By John Chambless Staff Writer The Chadds Ford Gallery spotlights four artists who have never shown together before this month, and the resulting show should quickly win over visitors. J. Wayne Bystrom is exhibiting for the first time at the gallery, along with Don Shoffner, Timothy Wadsworth and Robert Stack. The exhibit is pretty, and features local scenes that you may recognize. Stack’s finest moment may be his sun-dappled view of an island inlet and scattered homes, titled “They That Wash on Monday Have All Week to Dry.” There’s a lovely placement of a line of washing and some spectacular rendering of sunlight on the ocean surface. The pale blue/ purple hue of the houses perfectly conveys the brilliant light of the scene. Stack’s “Jack Be Nimble,” a loosely painted watercolor
of forest floor and a single jack-in-the-pulpit, has a nice, spontaneous look. In contrast, the microscopic details in Shoffner’s “Flies, Nymphs and Other Deceptions” earns applause for its razorsharp depiction of fishing lures. Both Shoffner and Wadsworth depict local farms, barns and homes in finely rendered watercolors. Wadsworth’s “Little Elk Creek” has a mid-stream point of view that puts a nice spin on the view of a covered bridge, and his small “Morning Smile” gets maximum drama out of sunlight beaming majestically through tree branches. Bystrom has earned accolades for his luxurious landscapes. The oils on canvas glow with warmth – particularly “Standing Out,” a summertime view of trees, rocks and pond that demands attention with its vibrant colors and justright clouds. Bystrom’s backlit clouds

in “Approaching Storm” are in many ways more arresting than the vast field of colorful flowers in the foreground. The flowers also get pride of placement in Bystrom’s “Marlborough Meadow,” a summertime expanse of field with a thick treeline in the distance. In his “Field of Gold,” a gentle slope and billowing clouds have a striking interplay. The artists work well together, filling the gallery with strong works that will
appeal to plenty of local art lovers. It’s well worth a look. The exhibit continues through Nov. 9. The Chadds Ford Gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. Call 610-388-2412 or visit www.awyethgallery.com.

New Garden board OKs intersection plan By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer The biggest thorn in the side of southern Chester County drivers has been moved one step closer to being fixed. The New Garden Board of Supervisors gave approval to the conceptual design for what hopes to be the improved intersection of Baltimore Pike and Newark Road, at their Oct. 19 meeting. The intersection design concept, currently being developed by McMahon Transportation Engineers & Planners, features both widened and additional turning and through lanes to accommodate truck traffic, as well as retaining walls and pedestrian crosswalks. The approval of these design concepts now allows the township to pursue funding for the construction of the project, which Township Manager Tony Scheivert estimated would be
approximately $6 million. Scheivert said that the project – which has been on the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s [PennDOT] punch list for at least the past decade – is now PennDOT’s top construction priority in Chester County. He said that the intersection is also the number one county intersection priority in a study just completed by the Chester County Planning Commission. “That gets us some standing and to the top of the list for some funding,” Scheivert said. While area leaders like State Sen. Andy Dinniman have expressed a desire to move the intersection project forward, some board members balked at spending township dollars for continued engineering costs. “I’m all for spending money the right way if it gets things moving, but I don’t want us to spend $500,000, only to have the project still sitting there,” said Supervisor
Randy Geouque. In other township news, the board gave support to the conceptual plans of Steven and Sarah Dooley, residents of 1227 Newark Road, to explore their idea to build an access path from their property to the New Garden Flying Field, in order to allow them to transport their small aircraft – a 1946 Luscombe model -- from their property to the air field. The Dooley’s have lived on their property, which is just shy of three acres and is located just south of the air field’s entrance, since 1999. According to their plans, the grass pathway would be between 1,000 and 1,500 feet in length, be about 25 feet wide, and would snake through a wooded, 12-acre area behind the Dooley’s property. Supervisors weighed in on the logistics of building the access way. “I think there are some mechanics to work out, as far as
easements, but the other concern we have is if you’re going to create this on grass, where does the liability stop with the township, if Mr. Dooley picks up stones [on the pathway] and breaks his aircraft?” said Board Chairman Steve Allaband. There would be a way to construct agreements to have Mr. Dooley bear the burden of any potential liabilities that could result from building the pathway, said MacElree Harvey, Ltd. attorney J. Charles Gerbron, Jr., Esq., who represented the Dooley’s. “The issue here is just to see whether this is something the supervisors would consider these plans in theory,” Gerbron said. “Most of those concerns are the things we would be discussing if we were to come back with a written agreement.” Marion Waggoner of the Save Our Water Committee gave the supervisors an update of the Sept. 15 public hearing con-
ducted by the Delaware River Basin Commission [DRBC], who agreed to table any approval to the request of Artesian Water Resources to activate the Broad Run well in Landenberg. Waggoner told the supervisors that during the public comment period of the meeting, 17 individuals provided the DRBCwith their objections to Artesian’s request, and that over 100 individuals have submitted written objections. He told the supervisors that over the next few months, the DRBC will be accepting additional written comments n the Artesian request, and is expected to make its final ruling in December. “We’re in one of those situations where we are hoping for the best, but are preparing for the worst,” he said. While the Committee awaits the DRBC ruling, Waggoner said that the group has begun its own
stream monitoring program at the Broad Run Creek, located near the Broad Run well, using technology from the Stroud Water Research Center in Avondale. The objective of the research is to establish a baseline of the stream conductivity, before pumping occurs, by monitoring water quality and seasonal variations of water flows in the stream. “In the event that pumping occurs, we’re in the position to say, ‘Here’s what’s happening to the stream as a result of pumping,’” Waggoner said. “Long term, we’d like to have some data, just to predict the health of the stream.” The board also approved the hiring of New Garden Township Police Officer Ryan Kushner as a full-time officer, and Zac Eldreth as part of the township’s Public Works department.
