Second East On the bus: Kennett Nottingham Township Area Democrats to supervisor resigns lend support, voices

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer For the second month in a row, the East Nottingham Township Board of Supervisors meeting ended with a supervisor resigning from the five-person board.

Michael Watson, who was elected to the board in 2017, announced his surprise resignation in the closing minutes of the Dec. 11 meeting.

Watson said that he was very proud of the work that the Board of Supervisors has done to improve the quality of life for residents during the last year. He mentioned saving taxpayers money by researching the best prices on health care coverage for township employees, the hiring of a new township

secretary, improvements to the township website, and the addition of a junior supervisor as just a few of the accomplishments that he is proud that the board accomplished.

However, Watson said, he had grown uncomfortable with the politics involved with serving as a supervisor,

and he particularly did not want to continue to deal with the negativity or compromise his integrity in order to continue as a supervisor. He also said that he was stepping aside as a township representative on the Oxford Area Recreation Authority Board.

“I’m not going to be bullied,” Watson said. “It’s not going to happen. I’m not a political person. I don’t aspire to be one. I’m not comfortable with what I see, and I don’t want to be a part of it.”

Watson did not elaborate on who might be attempting to bully the supervisors. He said that he prefers to focus on his family and his work at this time.

Avon Grove School Board approves budget opt-out resolution

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer On Dec. 13, the Avon Grove School Board completed what has been a busy and sometimes challenging year with its final meeting of 2018. The planning for a new high school dominated many of the meetings for 2018, but the final meeting of the year found the board handling more routine tasks.

The school board approved the accelerated budget optout resolution, a procedural measure that establishes the board’s intention to remain within the Act 1 Index limit when the budget for 20192020 is adopted.

Superintendent Dr. Christopher Marchese

explained that by approving the budget opt-out resolution, the district can now proceed with a normal budgeting process. If a school district in Pennsylvania wants to exceed the Act 1 Index, it would need to seek approval for the tax increase through a referendum during the primary election. That would require the school district to adopt its preliminary budget earlier in the year than what would be typical. A final budget must be approved by June 30.

In his superintendent’s report, Dr. Christopher Marchese said that the senior volunteer program is running very strong now, with more than 50 seniors Continued on Page 3A

Kennett Township sets 2019 budget

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer The 2019 budget for Kennett Township is highlighted by no tax increases, an anticipated reduction in spending for the new year, the rehabilitation of a historic township bridge, and the upgrading of existing trails and the installation of new ones.

Approved by the township’s supervisors on Dec.

5, the budgeted revenues for the township next year are set at $4.18 million, an increase from 2018, which came in at $3.53 million. On the expenditure side, the township is expected to spend $3.16 million, 13 percent below its 2018 budget of $3.58 million.

At the beginning of the year, the township’s reserve balance stood at $3.27 million, and is projected to be $3.1 million

Jeff Simpson, the East Marlborough Director of Public Works, said, “A friend of mine is a PennDOT construction inspector and told us that he worked on a very similar sized project two years ago that was $400,000.

This project is estimated to cost $110,000, of which $69,500 is being funded by a grant we received from the Chester County Conservation District’s Dirt, Gravel, & Low Volume Road Maintenance Program. The program is funded by the State Conservation Commission and focuses on improving unpaved roads, and lowvolume roads, to reduce the amount of harmful sediment pollution that reaches the streams. The culvert we replaced was severely deteriorated and undermined, which was leading to sediment being carried away in the unnamed tributary of the Red Clay Creek.”

The Public Works Department has five fulltime employees, made up of four on the Road Crew and one on the Wastewater Crew. There are also two part-time seasonal employees who assist where needed. For the bridge replacement, eight men, including Simpson, worked with a local contractor with an excavator for three days.

The Road Crew rotates weeks of duty, but somebody is ready to respond every day of the year, 24 hours a day. “So when it’s snowing on Christmas Day, we’re plowing snow,” Chambers said at the job site. “If there’s trees and wires down, we come in and put signs up until PECO gets in and clears it, and then we come back in and clean the road up.

There’s always something going on. If a big storm comes through, we’re really busy.”

Simpson said the Road Crew’s long list of duties includes “Maintenance and repairs to 60 miles of township roads, signs, stormwater facilities, township buildings and facilities, vehicles and equipment. We trim trees and do roadside mowing.

During the winter months,

we also provide snow and ice control duties to 15 miles of PennDOT roads within the township, in addition to the 60 miles of township roads. We maintain the Unionville Park, with mowing, tree trimming, walking path maintenance, pet waste disposal and restroom cleaning. The road crew also assists with the wastewater operations of maintaining the treatment plant, 100 acres of spray irrigation fields, 10 municipal pump stations, and 600 individual grinder pump stations in the lowpressure sewer areas of the township.

“Two of the employees are volunteer firefighters with the Longwood Fire Company, and two other employees are volunteer firefighters with the Po-Mar-Lin Fire Company,” Simpson added.

One of the unique features of the road crew is that the township swaps vehicles and equipment it owns with equipment owned by surrounding townships. When it comes time to fix something in those other townships, East Marlborough offers its own manpower and equipment. That way, each township doesn’t have to own everything they might need in the course of a year.

Simpson explained, “We belong to the Southern Chester County Municipal

responsible for the bulk of township expenditures in 2019. That’s lower than this year’s figure, due to the township’s decision not to fill a vacated staff job next year, and an anticipated decrease in the amount of grant application work next year.

The projected revenues and expenditures for the townships’ emergency services fund budget are nearly the same for 2019; revenues are anticipated to be $1.72 million and expenditures are expected to be $1.72 million. On the fund’s revenue side, 85 percent is expected to come from the emergency services tax, and 68 percent of spending – about $1.17 million – will come from police. It’s an increase of 170,000 from this year, which reflects the department’s pay raise, and reallocation of part-time and full-time employment.

our money,” Chambers said of the cooperative arrangement. “If you can borrow a piece of equipment, and not rent it or contract it out, you save a lot of money. We’re all

working as a team to get the job done.”

fund budget proved to be far less dramatic than its introduction to the 2018 budget, when the board quarreled with several township residents over the decision to create the $1.5 million fund, which would take about $930 a year out of household budgets in the township.

The fund was established as an outgrowth of the township’s financial commitment to the Kennett Police Department and the Emergency Services Commission that consolidates Kennett, Pro-Mar-Lin and the Longwood fire companies.

In 2019, the township’s capital fund budget revenues are expected to be $850,800, while its expenditures are set at $922,000. The key expenditures anticipated next year will be $442,000 that will be used to pay for trail installations throughout the township.

They are anticipated to include a public trail that will extend from sidewalks on Old Baltimore Pike through the Penns

Manor development to Pemberton Road; a trail on West South Street from Pennock Park to Kennett Borough; and the upgrade of the Parish trails that extend from Pennock Park to Chandler Mill Road.

In addition, $120,000 will be used from the fund to pay for the rehabilitation of the historic Chandler Mill Bridge, which is anticipated to re-open in 2019 as a pedestrian-only structure, after an 8-year closure.

Additional expenditures will include $20,000 that will be dedicated toward the modernization of the historic Fussell House; $67,000 toward a new traffic signal at Route 82 South and Route 1; and $200,000 for paving upgrades.

In the township’s open space budget category, the township budgeted $2.785 million for 2019, which will be targeted to paying for any open space easements that may arise next year. About $2 million – or 72 percent – of the budgeted open space revenue – will come from loan funding, which will

not be withdrawn unless an open space property became available. The remaining 28 percent of revenues will be paid for through $785,000 raised through the open space tax.

On the expenditure ledger, the township just settled on two properties recently – its purchase of the Spar Hill property, a 103-acre tract of land that borders Burnt Mill, Center Mill and Old Kennett roads; and open space acquisition of a 20-acre property off of Bucktoe Road, for which the township contributed $480,000, in partnership with the The Land Conservancy for Southern Chester County.

The township expects its 2019 sewer fund revenue to be $1.82 million, while its expenditures are anticipated to be $1.51 million, and $400,000 increase from this year, in order to address the repair of a failing sewer system on Creek Road in 2019.

Local News Lincoln student athletes arrested after incident According to a report from WPVI in Philadelphia, more than half of the Lincoln University men’s basketball team was recently arrested on charges including conspiracy to commit robbery. The alleged on-campus incident happened last weekend, before the team’s final game before winter break.

Lincoln officials confirmed to the Action News team that several students, including athletes, were charged after an altercation.

They said the school has posted bond for all of

the students involved.

“The University wishes to ensure that all students are able to complete the semester and be home for the holidays,” a school statement read.

The university did not identify the studentathletes involved, but according to Pennsylvania court records, they are Tamir Green, Gevon Arrington, Zahrion Blue, Maurice Waters, Myles Markland, Martin Kinsley and Bernard Lightsey.

All seven players who were arrested suited up for Wednesday’s game.

The students’ next court date is in January.

Girl Scouts give to the community for the holidays This holiday season, Girl Scouts from the Kennett and Unionville School districts demonstrated their commitment to community service through three service projects.

For the 28th year in a row, the Girl Scouts, along with their parents, celebrated at a “Square and Share Dance.” They all brought toys, clothing and gift cards to share with the Doris Haley Prison Ministry. This ministry provides support to the children of the residents of the Chester County Correctional Facility. Mary Clendenin led the girls and their families in square dancing. This is her 42nd year leading the Girl Scouts for this event.

County’s Recorder of Deeds helps keep veterans warm this Christmas More than 125 veterans residing at the LZ II and Mary E. Walker House on the grounds of the Coatesville Veterans Affairs Medical Center were gifted brand new winter gloves as part of Chester County Recorder of Deeds Rick Loughery and his staff’s Christmas Veterans Drive.

This year’s drive began when the Recorder’s office reached out to the Veterans Multi-Service Center in Coatesville asking what their veteran residents might need as they transition from homelessness to independence.

The answer was simple: winter gloves!

Nathan Four, Director of Residential Services at the Veterans Multi-Service Center, said, “The Chester County Recorder of Deeds has always been generous.

We’re extremely grateful for what they have done in the past and what they continue to do. With a donation like this during the holiday season, it uplifts the moral of our homeless veterans and lets them know that the community cares. It is truly a blessing.”

“Christmas is a time of giving and thinking about those in need. My staff and the veterans affairs office were only too happy to help our local heroes as they get back on their feet,” said Recorder of Deeds Rick Loughery regarding the request for gloves. “We are so thankful for the amazing support provided to our veterans by the staff at the LZ II and Mary E Walker House.”

Donations were collected at the Recorder of Deeds office and the Veterans Affairs office from individuals throughout the community.

“The outpouring of support for our veterans is overwhelming,” added Loughery. “I am convinced that Chester County has the most generous and community-oriented citizens in America.”

The LZ II and the Mary E. Walker House, part of the Veterans Multi-Service Center non-profit agency, provide transitional housing for homeless veterans with the goal to help them achieve independence.

the hundreds of donated toys.

The second community service project challenged Girl Scout troops to provide Christmas for entire families from the local community. These families were vetted by the Department of Health as those in greatest need of assistance. The girls, as a team, did the shopping and preparations for the family, based on the guidelines given to them.

The third community service project the Girl Scouts participated in was the Delaware Valley Children's Charity. This project assigns foster children to

Loughery and the Veterans Multi-Service Center facilities in Coatesville have partnered for the past six years as part of the Recorder of Deeds Veterans ID & Discount program, which honors Chester County Veterans with special ID cards recognizing their service and offering discounts to businesses across the county.

The Recorder of Deeds office visits the Coatesville VA campus at least twice a year with the program.

LZ II, an abbreviation of “Landing Zone II,” is a ninety-five bed transitional residence for homeless male Veterans.

Known as “home” to over a thousand veterans who have lived there since its opening in June of 1997, LZ II

offers a safe, secure, and supportive environment in a structured program that fosters respect, recovery and responsibility while increasing independence as the veteran transitions back into the community.

The Mary E. Walker House is a thirty bed transitional residence for homeless female veterans. Many of these women suffer from military sexual trauma— at present approximately 60% of the residents have this diagnosis. Currently one of the largest women veteran transitional residence in the country, the Walker House and its staff strive to provide a comfortable, safe, and secure life-setting, while fostering respect, responsibility, and recovery.

Other seniors volunteered at recent book fairs and at a STEM event. Another volunteer used his photography skills to document the work of students during a community event.

Continuing his report, Marchese also talked about student enrollment in the district. The current enrollment stands at 5,076 students district-wide.

Now, the remaining supervisors—Joe Herlihy, Art Rieck, Sam Goodley, Jr. and Weaver—will need to make another appointment.

Several supervisors asked Watson if he wanted some time to think about the resignation before they accepted it, but Watson said that he was certain of his decision

and wanted the supervisors to act accordingly.

The four supervisors reluctantly accepted Watson’s resignation before they adjourned the meeting. The vote was 3-1 to accept the resignation. Several supervisors expressed their gratitude to Watson for his work on the board.

School District for excellence in budget presentation for the 2018-2019 school year. ASBO presents awards to help promote good budget presentation practices.

Zoe Frantz, one of the student representatives to the Avon Grove School Board, recently completed a training program at the Chester County Intermediate Unit to help her learn to carry out the duties of a student representative. School board member Bonnie Wolff presented a certificate to Frantz, and thanked her putting in the extra work to get the training.

The school board formally accepted the PlanCon A and PlanCon B letters from the Pennsylvania Department of Education, Division of School Facilities, regarding the high school project. The PlanCon process will help the school district receive

reimbursement from the state for portions of the construction costs.

The school board also approved a number of personnel items, some student-teacher assignments, and several overnight trip requests.

The school board will hold a retreat on Jan. 5. The next regular meeting will take place on Thursday, Jan. 24 at 6:30 p.m.

A few hours later, they arrived in Washington, D.C., and entered into a wall-to-wall sea of humanity that covered our nation’s capitol like a pink tarpaulin.

It was the first Women’s March on Washington, and it became the largest, singleday protest of its kind in U.S. history. Estimates put the throng between 500,000 and 1 million, and its impact reverberated around the world; an additional 5 million participated in similar marches in American cities and towns – including Kennett Square -- and on every continent.

“There was a lot camaraderie between people on those buses, and then when we got to D.C., we saw people who had come from Maine and Florida and seemingly everywhere else,” said LeeAnne Held of the Kennett Area Democrats (KAD). “We had just taken a two-hour bus ride, but other people had traveled eight, ten, 12 hours to get there. It was absolutely thrilling to be a part of the moment.”

For Kennett Area Democrats Chairman Wayne Braffman and his wife, Sally, getting to the march involved boarding a commuter train from Arlington, Va. After waiting an hour to board, the Braffmnans arrived in the nation’s Capitol to what Braffman called “a sea of people.”

“We had no idea where anything was,” he said. “We just went with the flow of the crowd. People were mov-

ing, so we just moved with them, but it turned out that it was a march to nowhere.

There were thousands and thousands of people.”

Braffman said he began to feel the heartbeat of the movement as early as the organization’s first meeting that year, held in early January 2017, two months after the 2016 presidential election, and just weeks before the first Women’s March.

“The place was packed,” he said. “It wasn’t just our committee people, but residents had come. They kept asking us, ‘What can I do?’

They were all hungry to do something. The march became something we could focus on. Now at least there was something we could do to exercise our right to assembly. We started with one bus and just kept adding buses.”

On Jan. 19, 2019, the Kennett Area Democrats will be again be sponsoring four more buses to participate in the third annual Women’s March in Washington, D.C., which will begin at 10 a.m. on the National Mall between 12th and 3rd Streets. The subsequent rally will take place on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

The buses have rolled out of Kennett Square before; in 2018, the KAD took several busloads to the Women’s March in Philadelphia, and this past March, the group coordinated a bus trip to the “March For Our Lives” protest in Washington, D.C., to demand action against gun violence.

For many, the inaugural Women’s March in 2017

served as a forum of ignition that galvanized women around the world to force change, not only in the areas of women’s rights, but for immigration reform; rights for the LGBTQ community; climate change; racial injustice; and sexual assault on campuses and the workplace.

While many in the women’s movement still protest family separations at the U.S. border and the appointment of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court, perhaps the clearest evidence that their voices have been heard occurred last month, when 117 women were elected to national office, including 96 women to the House, 12 to the Senate, and nine to governor seats.

Braffman said that while he predicts less of a fever pitch at the third Women’s March, it will still serve as a call to further action.

“The question at the first march stemmed from people asking, ‘What can I do?’” he said. “In the ensuing two years, people have discovered what they can do. People have now found productive means to get their voice heard. They know what postcards are all about, and canvassing, and phone calls.”

As the KAD prepared for the November midterm elections, a record number of volunteers folded, addressed and helped mail 14,000 pieces of campaign literature in support of the elections of Gov. Tom Wolf; Lieutenant Gov. John Fetterman; Sen. Bob Casey; Chrissy Houlahan, a candidate for the U.S. House; and

The KAD’s efforts were also boosted by a record $60,000 in contributions, some of which went to pay data available through social media, in an effort not only to connect with liberals and moderate Democrats, but moderate Republicans throughout the 10 municipalities the group reaches in southeastern Pennsylvania.

“We were able to target our message to people based on various scores and ratings that are included in Facebook’s database, so it allowed us to reach people who are ideologically attuned to our message, and when we included them, it increased out target base by about one-third,” Braffman said. “We did direct mail.

We sent them a direct letter telling them about our candidates. We did phone banking. We canvassed them multiple times. We knocked on doors. We printed sample ballots. We did an enormous amount of work

to reach them.”

Of the many take-away memories Braffman has of the first Women’s March, one moment shines above the rest, one that he feels crystallizes the mission of the march, and the power of assembly. At one point during the march, he heard a chant in the crowd that kept gaining volume and momentum.

“It was, ‘Tell me what democracy looks like...This is what democracy looks like,’” he said. “I don’t remember where I was,

but I just started crying, because as I looked around, I thought, ‘This really is democracy,’ and everyone here was playing their little role in it. It affirmed that we can do something, and that we can participate.”

Editorial

We bid ‘Adieu’ in our year in review!

As we close the Chester County Press for another year, let’s offer a toast to the people who helped fill our pages; to those who gave us the news that shaped our views.

Let’s end with a cheer to those new and old, to those refreshing and bold, whose stories we told from summer’s heat to winter’s cold.

On the eve of our most recent election came a shift in our selection; beside levers and dots read the names of each candidate; whose names we chose, after campaigns and debate, to decide the future of our county and state.

So let’s offer a hearty ‘Good luck’ to Sappey in Harrisburg and let’s see Houlahan to D.C. Your voices rang clear and your messages were heard – that our differences are our strengths, and that our divisions can be cured, word by word.

While parting is such sorrow to fine fellow Costello, is it too early to say, ‘So long, Eric Roe?’ We hope to see them both again, in the halls of influence; it’s only a wish, we know, but their experience tells us that it makes such great sense.

And to our townships and municipalities, who rejoice in kinships and overcome maladies, we praise you for your endurance, your patience, and your principalities. So here’s to Stevens in Kennett, Mason in Penn, Lombardi in Oxford and Myers in the Borough; may your decisions be wise, and may they also be thorough.

We doff our newsboy caps to New Garden, Franklin, and London Grove, too; may you turn the pages of your stewardship from one year to the new, and may your guidance be confident and true.

To the Oxford garage, it’s not a mirage; may it welcome guests to this turnaround town, from its third floor on down.

To the Regional Police, will wonders ever cease? What once was Simpson’s Folly is now a dream in the form of a trolley, that will take his team to a place of their own.

To Avon Grove, here’s to your new home that will soon be; to the Kennett Run and the Mushroom Cap 13.1, may your roads be steady, and may your steps be always measured in fun.

Here’s to the re-opening of The Creamery and your handsome new dome; we wish you happiness and friends in your new home.

To those who help the wheels of our towns’ calendars full, we thank you for your presence, your kindness and your care. Here’s to Tri-M and Genesis, Chatham Financial and Two Stones, Victory and Exelon, Bove Jewelers and Herr’s, and dozens of other companies far too many to name; the impact you have on others will forever be held in the highest of acclaim.

With the last of our stories all tucked in for this final year’s issues, we eschew the tissues and review our omissions, for in our 52 editions, we can’t include every commission, exposition, exhibition, transition, coalition and inquisition, in the brevity of a season’s end submission.

But for those named here and those not; for newsmakers and caretakers and homemakers and lawmakers, we at the Chester County Press are honored to bring you the news of your town, from Chadds Ford to West Chester to the Marlboroughs connected; from Unionville and Kennett to Avondale we collected.

From Toughkenamon to Landenberg, our reporters did cover; in West Grove and Oxford, there was much to discover.

From meetings to greetings to everyone near, happy holidays from the Chester County Press, and we’ll see you next year!

Open enrollment is here.

Don’t go through the process alone

By Janet Trautwein It’s time to sign up for health insurance. Between Nov. 1 and Dec. 15, millions of Americans will head to Healthcare.gov or the online exchange in their state to shop for coverage for 2019.

Selecting the right health plan can be daunting.

Patients have six weeks to evaluate dozens of plans, each with different networks, benefits, premiums, and deductibles. If they fail to purchase a plan during this open enrollment period, they risk forgoing insurance entirely next year.

Choosing wisely could save consumers thousands of dollars and guarantee they get the care they need. To ensure that they choose wisely, they should consider consulting free, expert resources -- particularly licensed, professional agents and brokers.

The plans available through the exchanges provide covearage for ten essential health benefits, including primary care visits, substance abuse treatment, and mental health care. Consumers with annual incomes below 400 percent of the poverty level -- about $48,000 for an individual or $100,000 for a family of four -- can receive subsidies from the federal government to help pay for coverage through the exchanges. Nearly 10 million Americans claimed such subsidies this year.

Those who do not qualify for subsidies may find better deals on comprehensive coverage outside the exchanges.

Regardless of what type of policy they choose, it’s critical that consumers choose something.

Uninsured patients are twice as likely to struggle to pay their medical bills. And they’re less

likely to receive preventative care for chronic health conditions -- which is both dangerous and expensive.

Lacking health insurance is also associated with higher mortality rates.

Picking through all those options can be difficult. Six in 10 Americans don’t feel confident in their ability to pick the right plan. Just 14 percent of Americans have a “pretty good” understanding of how much health insurance actually costs.

That’s where health insurance agents and brokers can help. They’re well-versed at identifying consumers’ coverage needs. They can guide individuals to the right carriers, coverage levels, and plans at the best possible prices.

Agents and brokers are experts at what they do.

Nearly 70 percent have ten or more years of experience. They’re licensed by

the states in which they do business. And they adhere to continuous education and professional development requirements as conditions of their licenses.

The job of an agent or broker doesn’t end once they’ve helped a consumer find the right plan. Many serve as advocates for their clients, resolving billing issues or claims disputes.

More than 7 in 10 agents spend “most” or “a lot of” their time explaining coverage to their clients.

Picking a health insurance plan can be among the most important decisions a person makes each year.

Fortunately, consumers needn’t make those decisions alone.

The political landscape ahead

By Lee H. Hamilton In the days following George H. W. Bush’s death, it was impossible to ignore the mood that settled over much of the country: a yearning for the civility, dignity and inclusiveness that the former president represented. It was a form of bipartisan nostalgia for a time when the nation seemed to work.

As we head toward 2019, it’s equally hard to ignore the ground that this yearning sprang from: a deep-seated doubt that the system can work, and great worry that our democratic institutions are failing. Looking at American politics today, coming into what will undoubtedly be a momentous political year, what seems most apparent is an air of disappointment in our politicians and watchful concern for our way of life.

A lot of trends are feeding this. There’s the intensifying partisan divide, which is in turn stoked by disagreements over economic priorities, over environmental awareness, over issues like affirmative action, immigration, and the role of police, and over such cultural issues as abortion and gay rights. Inequalities of wealth and education exacerbate these divisions. And the rural-urban divide that fea-

tured so prominently in the midterm elections shows no sign of narrowing.

This fraying of the American fabric might not appear so threatening if we were capable of pursuing a healthy political dialogue, but that, too, seems increasingly out of reach.

We don’t get the kind of extensive, deep, fact-based discussion of the issues we once did. Our political leaders seem less skillful than their predecessors at finding the common good or negotiating their way to compromises that give all sides the chance to leave the table with something in hand. There’s a lot of excoriating one’s opponents for misbehaving, and typically no concern at all for similar misbehavior on one’s own side. Partisanship is hardening.

I’m also impressed by the number and variety of groups and interests that seek to bring Americans to their side, using multiple avenues — the internet, television advertising, “grassroots” campaigns — to persuade them to support their point of view. A lot of people are putting a huge amount of resources, time, energy, and talent into all kinds of political groups.

They always identify what they want to do as a pub-

lic good, but nonetheless it’s almost invariably a plea for special consideration. They want the public to see things the way they see them.

Which, not surprisingly, has made the role of money in politics ever more important, and the amount flowing into politics ever more massive.

That’s been true for a couple of generations now. What seems different, though, is that ordinary Americans seem to be more aware of the role that money plays in getting things done.

At the same time all this is going on, it’s hard to miss the sense of engagement that many Americans — whatever their political beliefs — feel at this moment. We saw this in the midterm elections, of course, but we also see it in the day to day workings of community life.

Although there are some notable exceptions, many state and local governments, disappointed by what they see as either gridlock or dysfunction at the federal level, are finding ways to improve life for their citizens on their own. And citizens of all sorts are plunging into politics and into community issues with enthusiasm and vigor.

Clearly, at the federal, state and local levels, a lot of this activity is based on citizens’

desire to improve the quality of their lives. That’s a heartening motivation. They want to see power used to get things right. Just as they want to be productive in their own communities, they want policy makers to be serious and productive, too.

This suggests, I think, that many Americans are wearying of pure ideology and rhetoric as political tools; they want tangible progress on the issues that affect the country.

So as we head into 2019, there’s a feeling afoot that we’ve got a lot of work to do — and the nagging worry that our political system isn’t up to the task. That’s why this will be a momentous year: it’s our political leaders’ opportunity to prove that they, and the institutions they run, can answer to Americans’ needs.

Experts study OAHS senior performs in American affordable housing Music Theater Christmas show opportunities in county

Although her story is not exactly the classic Broadway tale of the understudy rocketing to stardom after the leading lady is too sick to perform, Oxford Area High School senior Cassidy Colmary recently took a major step in her career as a professional dancer when she became the youngest member of the Adult Dance Ensemble featured in The First Noel, this year’s Christmas show at the American Music Theater (AMT) in Lancaster.

Cassidy and her friend, Sydney Raffellini, were originally contracted to be part of the youth cast for the production. “When one of the adult ensemble members was unable to be in this year’s show, Sydney and I were both asked to join the adult cast,” said Cassidy. “Since the show opened on November 1, we have performed the same role in alternating weeks. It has been an amazing experience.”

Cassidy, daughter of Tabitha and Kevin Colmary, has been performing at AMT since she was 13, but her family’s ties to the venue go back to before she was born.

“My mom has been a dancer her whole life and performed at AMT when it first opened in 1997, and she continued to perform there for 12 years,” she said. Cassidy took on her mom’s passion for dancing at age three, and has studied at KMC Dance in Kennett Square ever since. Her first appearance at AMT was in the 2014 Christmas production.

“The show was a twist on The Nutcracker, and I played the role of Clara,” said Cassidy, who also appeared in the

following year’s Christmas show. After that show, Cassidy was asked to appear as one of two teenage characters in the AMT revue, Vegas Legends.

Since, as with all her appearances at the theater up to that point, she was performing as a volunteer, Cassidy decided to present her experience in the show as her graduation project.

After appearing in last year’s Christmas show, Cassidy was contracted to appear in AMT’s spring production, Songs of the Silver Screen. It was her first show as a professional entertainer.

Once Songs of the Silver Screen ended its run in October, Cassidy immediately transitioned to preparing for The First Noel. With her unexpected jump from the youth cast to the adult dance ensemble came greater responsibility for making the show successful, along with eight-hour rehearsals.

“I think that being a part of this musical production has really shaped me into the type of dancer I am now,” said Cassidy. “I have learned so much that will help me in pursuing this as a career.”

Cassidy said the adult cast performs more partner-based dancing than she did with the youth ensemble. “This is a new experience for me which I have been able to learn from, and now it feels like part of the normal routine of my life,” she said. “Being able to partner is definitely going to help me in my career.”

In The First Noel, Cassidy dances throughout the entire two-and-a-half hour show. She is required to make 10 costume

changes, and sometimes has as little as 30 seconds to do so.

The First Noel touches on nearly all the favorite traditions and scenes of the holiday season, but Cassidy’s favorite part of the show is when she plays one of Santa’s elves at the North Pole. “We each get to play a distinct elf character,” she said. “I’ve got a white wig, a cute little hat, cute boots.

It’s just a lot of fun to become a totally different person on stage.”

Cassidy admits that it has been “a crazy few years” balancing school, auditions and performances, and life as a teenager. “The first year of trying to balance performing and school was definitely difficult,” she said of her sophomore year at OAHS. “In addition to my schoolwork I was trying to learn an entire

show and taking regular dance classes on top of that.

“It was definitely difficult at first, but I learned how to use my downtime between shows at the theater to do my schoolwork.”

After graduation, Cassidy hopes to continue working at American Music Theater or perform at another area venue.

With KMC Dance, she once spent a week on a Carnival cruise ship, taking master classes by day and performing for the ship’s guests in the evening.

“I enjoyed that so much and would love to be able to perform with a cruise line after graduation,” she said.

“But I eventually would like to relocate to the West Coast to pursue a career in commercial dancing as opposed to musical theater.

“I want to do all this while I am young and physically able to perform at a high level. After that I would definitely consider continuing my education.”

Cassidy knows she has a long road ahead of her and is determined to put in the work necessary to succeed as an entertainer, including expanding her range of talent.

“I haven’t done much singing since elementary school, but I have taken voice lessons and I recently was able to sing at a cabaret,” she said. “I also want to develop my acting skills. To be successful I will need to be able to do it all – dance, sing and act.”

The future is looking bright for Cassidy.

“I love performing,” she says. “It’s who I am and it’s my passion in life.”

Affordably-priced housing for professionals, those in the trades, first-time home buyers, seniors and those looking to locate in Chester County is needed today and in the coming years, according to housing professionals at the Citizen Planners’ Breakfast held recently.

The panel acknowledged challenges exist in the county, but the housing can be built if builders, government representatives and the public work together to streamline the process and hold down the planning costs of housing. The audience was told approval costs can add $10,000 to $20,000 for each housing unit.

The two-hour Citizen Planners’ Breakfast was sponsored by Chester County 2020 and the Chester County Planning Commission.

Almost 100 people attended the event at the Desmond Hotel. Jason Duckworth, president of Arcadia Land Company, led a panel discussion.

Brian O’Leary, executive director of the Chester County Planning Commission, began the event by saying an estimated 55,000 new homes will be needed by 2035 for the county’s growing population.

He said the county must balance the need for growth with the need to preserve open space.

O’Leary pointed out an affordability issue exists in the county, as the median cost of a home in the county is more than $330,000, placing Chester County as one of the most expensive in the region.

Lisa Moore, manager of Kennett township, told the audience that her municipality is looking to add affordable housing and workforce housing. Several such projects are going on in the township and neighboring Kennett Square borough.

The township is streamlining the process for builders, according to Moore.

Sarah Peck, principal of Progressive New Homes LLC, told the audience that density is the way to provide housing and allow builders to stay in business. Density results in lower land costs, reduces infrastructure cost and reduces risk to builders.

Builders, according to Peck, should work with government officials to find ways to complete the construction and solve existing problems.

“I call this rezoning with benefits,” Peck said.

Peck’s company has built successful, affordable housing in Chester County and neighboring counties.

James S. Mackey, 89, of Landenberg, and Rehoboth Beach, Del., passed away on Dec. 7 at his residence.

He was the husband of Fern Barber Mackey, who passed away in 2001, and with whom he shared 48 years of marriage.

Born in West Grove, he was the son of the late Raymond S. Mackey and the late Nancy Thompson Mackey. He farmed the family farm until the mid1960s, but he was always a farmer at heart. He was a carpenter, retiring in 1993 from PKF Mark III in Newtown. He was a member of Manor Presbyterian Church in Cochranville, and the New London Masonic Lodge No. 545. He enjoyed collecting antique tools, going to auctions, watching old movies on TV, and being with his family and friends.

He is survived by one son, Raymond J. Mackey and his wife Louise of West Grove; three daughters, LeAnne Pugliese and her husband John of West Grove, Joyce Mackey Holton and her husband James of Landenberg, and Gail Bridgham and her husband Russell of Isle of Palms, S.C.; one brother, David Mackey of Punta Gorda, Fla.; 11 grandchildren; and ten great-grandchildren.

A funeral was held Dec. 12. Burial was in the Faggs Manor Cemetery in Cochranville. To view his online tribute and to share a memory with his family, visit www.griecocares.com.

Walter J. Cavanaugh, 86, of Glen Mills, died peacefully in his sleep on Sunday night, after happily watching his beloved Philadelphia Eagles soundly defeat the LA Rams 30 to 23.

Walter was a graduate of John Bartram High School and Drexel University. After serving honorably in our armed forces, Walter put his chemical engineering skills to use at Publicker Printing and the Philadelphia Water Company. Freemasonry was an important part of Walter’s life and he spoke fondly of his fellow brothers at the Tacony Lodge. Reciting sports statistics, no matter the era, came with ease to Walt, and he was never seen walking the halls of Maris Grove Retirement Community without a political history book tucked carefully under his arm. One of Walter’s true passions was for telling “dad” jokes … many of which were pretty darn funny!

Walter is survived by his sister-in-law Esther; his nieces and nephew Esther, Helen and John, and their spouses Gregory, Raymond and Karen; as well as his grandnieces and nephews, Catherine, Raymond, Esther and David. Walter was predeceased by his father John; his mother Helen; his stepfather Carlton; his favorite aunt Marian; and his older brother John.

A visitation will be held Jan. 12 from 9 to 10 a.m. in the Batton Room at St. John’s Episcopal Church (576 Concord Road, Glen Mills). His memorial service will follow at 10 a.m. Burial will follow in West Laurel Hill Cemetery in Bala Cynwyd. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to Autism Delaware, either by mail (924 Old Harmony Road Suite 201, Newark, DE 19713) or online (Memorial/Honor option at www.autismdelaware.org).

Alice was an active member of the Oxford United Methodist Church. She taught math at Unionville High School and Upland Country Day School. She was a substitute teacher at Kennett Middle School and Kennett High School. Alice was also employed as a registrar for the Pennsylvania Department of Vital Records for almost 40 years. She volunteered for the Oxford Area Senior Center, the Democratic Party and her church. She enjoyed gardening and exercising at the YMCA. Alice is survived by one son, Robert Joel Fling, Jr., and his wife, Cheryl of Millsboro, Del.; and three daughters, Alexa Manley and her husband Kevin of Enterprise, Ala., Julie Irons and her husband Robert of Severna Park, Md., and Catherine Tennant and her husband Donald, Jr. of Kinzers, Pa.; 11 grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; and two sisters, Joanne Crosson and Barbara Weer, both of West Grove.
