Oxford Borough Paying it forward a son’s tragic death, a family adopts a $3.3 million After turns to helping the community budget for 2017 There is no tax increase included in the spending plan

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer Oxford Borough Council formally adopted a $3,358,107 general fund budget for 2017 at its meeting on Dec. 19. No tax increase will be required to balance the spending plan.

Borough council also approved the Tax Levy Ordinance for 2017, which establishes the borough’s millage rate that is used to calculate the municipal tax bill.

“The tax rates are the same as they are in 2016,” said council member Gary Tozzo, who serves on the borough’s Make plans to wel- Finance Committee. Tozzo come 2017, whether in explained that the millage Philadelphia or nearby rate will remain at 12.25 Kennett Square...1B mills for the next year.

years that the borough has passed a budget without a tax increase.

There are no increases in water rates. The water fund budget totaling $1,234,850 was also approved by borough council.

In other business at the Dec. 19 meeting, borough council approved the advertising of revisions to the borough’s ordinance pertaining to Motor Vehicles and Traffic. The revisions include extending angled parking on Lancaster Avenue and deleting the language that restricted certain larger vehicles from parking in spots on Market Street, as well as other minor changes.

After recently securing two grants for over $1 million for a proposed parking garage, the borough is continuing its efforts to obtain funding for the project, which is estimated to cost

about $5.7 million. Borough manager Brian Hoover explained that they are now seeking a Multimodel Transportation Fund Grant in the amount of $429,658.

The amount being sought has increased slightly to include road improvements to both Second Street and Octoraro Alley. Council authorized borough officials to seek the grant.

Hoover and the members of borough council briefly discussed the Volunteer Firefighters Tax Credit that state lawmakers recently approved that allows local governments to offer tax credits to fire company and EMS volunteers. The underlying purpose of the tax credit is to encourage more residents to volunteer to serve their communities by joining the fire department.

Their son, Michael, had been critically injured in a fall from the balcony of his fourth-floor apartment at Penn State University.

In the dizzying weeks that followed, and the long four years they cared for Michael at home, the Fecile family experienced how the strength of a community can bring light into the darkest situation. And now the Feciles want to give back.

Avon Grove adopts budget opt-out resolution Pa. school districts facing higher-than-expected pension costs this year

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer In its final meeting of 2016, the Avon Grove School Board adopted the accelerated budget opt-out resolution, which effectively ensures that the school district will remain within the Act 1 Index limit that is set by the state each year. If school districts don’t intend to exceed the Act 1 Index limit, they have

the option of opting out of the accelerated budget process that would be necessary in order to get any tax increase above the Act 1 Index limit approved by voters during a Primary Election referendum in the spring.

Daniel Carsley, the Avon Grove School District’s business manger, said that the district’s adjusted Act 1 Index limit for the 2017-

2018 budget is 3.3 percent, which is slightly higher than the statewide Act 1 Index limit of 2.5 percent.

Staying with the Act 1 Index limit will be a greater challenge this year as school districts across Pennsylvania are facing higher-than-expected pension costs for the 20172018 school budgets. The board that oversees the Public School Employees

Retirement System (PSERS) increased the rate that school districts must contribute at from 32.04 percent to 32.57 percent. This increase was made necessary because the state’s $50 billion pension fund earned lower investment returns than had been projected.

In Avon Grove, the impact of the higher-thanexpected contribution rate

amounts to an additional increase of approximately $60,000. School districts have been grappling with skyrocketing pension costs for at least the last seven years because the pension system was allowed to be under-funded for years after lawmakers in Harrisburg voted to boost their own pensions and increase the pension benefits for the state’s teachers in 2001. It

is projected that the pension contribution rate for school districts will climb for several more years before leveling off. The impact of the large annual increases is budget shortfalls for school districts before they add any new spending to meet the educational needs of students.

attractive to a developer.

Initially, Auerbach said he was against the idea due to the cost and the proximity to his son’s property, but after some research, he had come to the meeting prepared to vote in favor to contributing to the cost of the easement.

But in a surprise development on Dec. 21, the township got notice that the Chester County Agricultural Land Preservation Board had agreed to purchase the AG conservation easement outright on the parcels that are currently an active farm, with no contribution required from the township. The board agreed that the township is in favor of contributing to open space projects, but not raising taxes to do so.

In other business, Landenberg resident David Berger presented his plan to hold a half marathon race in the township on Oct. 14, with proceeds benefitting local agencies which have not yet been finalized. Berger proposes that the race begin and end at the Fox Chase Farm. The weekend will start with a Friday evening 5K race to take place on the Geoghegan Trail, which is located on the farm. The race route is not finalized. Berger said he is hoping to get approval from all the affected townships and then go to PennDOT for approval to close the roads for short periods of time as runners come through. The board members were generally supportive of the idea and asked Berger to return for the board’s Jan. 18 meeting.

Auerbach presented information on two township-owned bridges. One is at Walker and Mt. Olivet roads. The other is the Hess Mill Bridge, located near the intersection of South Guernsey Road on Hess Mill Road. The Hess Mill bridge is evaluated each year by PennDOT, which has made some recommendations. The board agreed to have the township contractor install eight additional pilings on the wing walls. The board discussed repairing the bridge in the timber bridge style, which would save the township money because it would not involve permits and the work could be done in the road. Also, agreements from the four neighbors would not be necessary, because no private property would be disturbed.

The township will also be investigating the cost of putting in a new bridge similar to the one installed

by New London Township on East Avondale Road.

The Board of Supervisors organizational meeting will be held Jan. 3 at 7 p.m. The elected auditors meeting will be held Jan. 4 at 8:15 a.m. The Historical Commission and HARB will meet in Jan. 4 at 7 p.m. The Planning Commission will meet on Jan. 5 at 7 p.m., and the Board of Supervisors will meet on Jan. 18 at 7 p.m. Visit www.franklintownship.us for more information.

Oxford Area High School English teacher Sue Mendenhall recently earned a doctoral degree from Northcentral University in Arizona and will graduate with honors in July 2017.

After graduating from East Stroudsburg University, Mendenhall came to Oxford Area High School to teach ninth and tenth grade English. She has also taught Introduction to Dramatic Arts and SAT prep, and currently teaches 12th grade English.

When she began her teaching career, Mendenhall knew she wanted to be involved in student activities and she has done just that. She is well known for volunteering to chaperone student events or playing on teacher teams to support student clubs.

In her time at Oxford, Mendenhall has been the girls’ tennis team coach, school newspaper advisor, class advisor, and SAP team member. Her students describe her as a teacher who is always smiling or laughing and offering to help them with school work or college essays.

Mendenhall is also a twotime Oxford Area School District winner of the Citadel Heart of Learning Award.

In 2004, Mendenhall earned a Master’s degree from Penn State University and planned to earn a doctoral degree in the future.

In 2012 she enrolled in an online doctoral program at Northcentral University.

One of the County Commissioners’ strategic priorities is to optimize the quality of life in the community, and particularly to invest in the county’s urban centers.

“Our goal of bringing a theater to West Chester was to create a cultural hub within

walking distance to West Chester’s revitalized restaurant and shopping district.

We envision people who live and work downtown walking over for a film or concert, young people enjoying music in a theater setting, students taking performing arts classes and seniors from nearby retirement communities enjoying matinee

performances,” said Angela Scully, Executive Director of Uptown! Entertainment Alliance.

“We are excited that this goal will be achieved with

the opening of the performing arts center in the New Year, and the Commissioners’ contribution reinforces the importance – and need – for a venue such as this.”

On behalf of our students, we extend our sincere gratitude to this community member!”

Avon Grove Intermediate School principal Jeff Detweiler said he was overwhelmed. “We are blessed to be part of the most kind, caring, and compassionate community,” he said. “Having someone take care of our unpaid student lunch accounts is an amazing act of generosity and caring. Often, these lunch accounts are not unpaid because of negligence, but because the family is in need of financial support. The holidays always remind us of the importance of giving, and this act of giving will certainly bring much joy and happiness to our community. We cannot adequately express our gratitude for the continued display of kindness and holiday spirit!”

Local News Fecile...

Continued from Page 1A

In 2011, Michael was a sophomore at Penn State, pursuing a degree in psychology, and working as a student equipment manager at the college in hopes of an eventual future as a football coach. He had been a standout football player at Great Valley High School before going to Penn State, but realized that he was likely too small to play professional ball.

The fall put Michael in the hospital for seven months, and his traumatic brain injury left him unable to move voluntarily or communicate.

But John and Kate were determined to bring him home to their townhome in Garnet Valley.

After a 30-year career in the insurance industry, John knew the ins and outs of the bewildering mountain of paperwork, “and our insurance covered a lot of it,” he said during an interview at the Fecile home last week. “But we met our family out-ofpocket expense every year that Mike was home. And the insurance money ran out three weeks after we brought him home.”

The Feciles have no estimate of the total cost of Michael’s care, just as they have no way of counting how many people came to the family’s aid.

“I need to give credit to Rodney Richards,” John said. “He was the president of the Garnet Valley Soccer Club, and he’s also a dear friend. We were

in the ICU in Altoona, the day after the fall, and Rodney called and said, ‘I don’t know what you need, but is it OK if I get started?’ That was where things got rolling.”

An Independence Living Grant from the state of Pennsylvania paid for Michael’s clinical aides and private duty nurses at home, but he required 24-hour care. In addition to John and Kate and their four other children, there was an army of volunteer workers, John said. United Cerebral Palsy of Chester County helped administer a grant. A foundation formed in Michael’s name raised funds to install a stair lift in the townhome and convert rooms for wheelchair accessibility, paid for some medical supplies, a handicappedaccessible van and other supplies.

“We simply couldn’t have done it without the community,” Kate said.

“We had volunteers three nights a week for for years,” John said.

Families would drop off meals so often that there was too much to possibly eat. People helped with Michael’s physical and speech therapy.

Nursing students came by to work with him. Mike Longo, who works with peer counseling at Garnet Valley High School, organized a group of teens to read to Michael. The community held fundraisers, and Valley Point Church adopted the family one Christmas for as large financial donation.

“A lot of these were peo-

ple we kinda, sorta knew,” John said, smiling. “But a lot of them we never even knew. How do you pay that back? You can’t. I don’t even know some of their names. … In a really difficult time, it was a constant reminder of people’s generosity, and the blessings of God.”

Michael Fecile

Through it all, Kate worked at Mirmont Treatment Center as an admissions representative. The job, as part of the Main Line Health organization, kept the family’s benefits going and provided a steady income. She has worked there for 11 years, helping families with drug and alcohol recovery. “We’re kind of the crisis center that deals with the families,” she said. Her own home situation, however, often offered no respite from the stresses of her day job.

While John maintained his job in insurance with generous time allowances to care for Michael, the Feciles lost their son on May 2, 2015 when he passed away at home.

“Six months after

Michael passed, I broke,” John said quietly. “I needed some counseling and help. I took a shortterm disability leave from the company I was with.

While I was on leave, I knew that I did not want to go back to insurance.

I was contacted by a franchise consultant who thought I would do great as a small business owner.

Eventually, I settled on CertaPro.” The Pennsylvania-based company hires owners to run their own franchises.

“It was service-oriented and customer focused,” John said. “It did not require that I purchase retail space. All the people I met at CertaPro were wonderful. And the company has an online university with development tracks for everybody as I hire more people.

Everybody has a way to grow in the business.”

With his managerial experience and his knack for numbers and maintaining business contacts, John knew he could handle the job of overseeing a small company.

“Once Kate and I both talked and did a lot of research, she was convinced, too,” he said, smiling. Kate remains a part owner of the business, but John is the full-time face of the enterprise.

John started the CertaPro training, and his region is now the western Chester County area – Parkesburg, Atglen, Avondale, Coatesville, Cochranville, Honey Brook, Landenberg, Lincoln University,

Nottingham, Oxford, Toughkenamon and West Grove. The company has taught him the ins and outs of painting, as well as managing a team of independent contractors who do indoor and outdoor painting in the region.

“The goal in starting the company was to pay off our mortgage and become debt-free, help our children manage their college debt, and the third goal is to use Michael’s foundation and the money from the business to do good works,” John explained.

The foundation, which is still active, initially went toward supporting the family. Now, the Feciles want to turn it outward, to benefit others. “We want to build a memorial fund for Michael to help other young people who are interested in pursuing coaching football at the highest level,” John said. “The Garnet Valley football team Coach’s Award has been renamed in Michael’s honor, and we would like to attach a monetary award to that, to help young men prepare for college and pay for some of their early expenses. We’d also like to create a scholarship for one of the student managers for the Penn State football team to pursue coaching when they graduate. The work of the foundation is to honor Michael’s memory and help young people.”

The Fecile home is up for sale. “There’s a lot of stuff here we don’t need to remember,” John

said quietly. A relocation to Delaware is possible, but the CertaPro business, which has an office in Parkesburg, is a long-term commitment.

As part of his new venture, John is helping area charities, such as Home of the Sparrow in Coatesville, which houses older women at risk of homelessness. His company handed some interior painting that volunteers could not get done correctly, and he did the job at cost. “It was only my second week in business,” he said. “I hadn’t planned on starting so soon, but I was attracted to their mission. It resonated with me.”

The CertaPro company also has an ongoing partnership with Home For Our Troops, a national organization that works on homes for returning veterans. And John is looking forward to possibly working with Good Works, a Kennett Squarebased organization that rehabilitates homes for low-income families in Chester County.

“We want to use this new business as a way to heal our family,” John said, smiling. “And to pay forward all the kindness, of literally hundreds of people, for so many years.”

Lukoff had already begun to volunteer before he left DuPont. He worked with the New Garden Township Police Department on exploring ways to improve the department’s communication with the public, including suggestions on the current website and Facebook page for the newly formed Southern Chester County Regional Police Department.

He also just completed a two-year assignment on the Open Space Review Board, which led to his work to help preserve land all over the township. For the last three years, Lukoff has also been working with Township Manager Tony Scheivert and other township leaders on the New Garden Communications Committee.

Last week, at a township holiday celebration, Lukoff was named New Garden Township’s 2016’s Volunteer of the Year, joining local leaders who have also earned the title, such as Bernie McKay, Chris Robinson and Don Peters, who were the guiding forces behind the development of the township’s trail system.

“It has been interesting to see how local government functions,” Lukoff said. “When you look at some of the things you can affect or have an impact on, often it’s in local government and politics where you can really make a difference. There’s so much noise on the national level now that has become so frustrating for so many people. For me, channeling some of that frustration to the local government level has been very rewarding.”

Lukoff’s IT skills played a strong role in the development of The Lyceum, the township’s online newsletter, which is sent to all New Garden subscribers who request to be on the mailing list.

“There is a connection through general technology and general communications, so adding the technology piece to enable the supervisors and the township to better communicate to the residents is what we were trying to do on the communications team,” Lukoff

said. “The goal was to use this newsletter as a method of engaging more people and have another avenue to capture people’s precious time.

“Everyone is now tied to their electronic devices, so the easier you can make it for them to understand what’s going on at a local level – that may help them become engaged in the township activities and functions.”

His colleagues in the township have valued Lukoff’s ideas.

“From website, Facebook and Survey Monkey software platforms, Stan’s input was valuable and insightful from a resident’s perspective,” said Gerald Simpson, Police Chief for the new Southern Chester County Regional Police Department. “There’s no doubt his approachable style added to our success. Again, the chemistry of ideas in a collaborative environment – of which Stan played an important part -- aided the township progressing its desire to better engage with its residents.”

“Stan brings to any decision-making meeting a

cornucopia of attributes: He tactfully keeps the discussion focused; precisely records what was discussed; steadily leads the path forward for subsequent discussions and provides keen foresight,” said Robinson, who chairs the Open Space Review Board. “In the public forum, his communication skills were very evident in his much-appreciated, artful and convincing presentations to preserve over 150 acres in New Garden. Equally appreciated is Stan’s extensive knowledge of information technologies and his foresight on how these tools enhance residents’ dialogue with the township’s managerial staff. Stan’s cordial, soft spoken, willing to help and resourceful manner has enhanced the community spirit.”

Lukoff said that the next goal he wants to pursue with the township is the development of “performance dashboards,” which will allow residents to chart the progress of a particular township department through color-coded graphics – whether on the township’s new website or

at public meetings.

“It would give township department heads the opportunity to present their goals at board meetings, through dashboards and graphs, in terms of their status and objectives throughout the year,” Lukoff said. “In finance, for instance, it would be nice to see some year-todate spending, and display them visually. It proves

that a picture is worth a thousand words.”

Lukoff will join the township’s Comprehensive Planning Committee in February, and will provide input into the township’s comprehensive plan that was last updated in 2005.

Of the many projects he plans to become involved in, the most important for Lukoff is stimulating growth in

township volunteerism.

“We’re looking for additional people, just to get a more diverse representation of the community,” he said. “We would love to get more people to volunteer on whatever organization the township has that they may be interested in.”

Searching for truth in the dust cloud of nonsense

Independent newspapers play an important role in a democracy

On Dec. 4, Edgar Maddison Welch, a 28-year-old North Carolina man, walked into a popular pizza restaurant in Washington, D.C., carrying an AR-15 assault-style rifle, as well as other firearms. He used the rifle to fire one or more shots and interrogate a restaurant employee. He was subsequently arrested, and told officers that he had come to the Comet Ping Pong to, in his words, “self-investigate” a report that presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was running a child-abuse cabal out of the restaurant.

Mr. Welch told arresting officers that he’d read that the backrooms of the restaurant served as the scene of trafficked and molested children coming in and out the back doors. The news, he said, was horrible, and it was up to him to rescue the children. The source of Mr. Welch’s information turned out to be a news story that appeared on Facebook.

The story was fake.

There are, currently, 58 faux news sites on social media that deal in hoax, propaganda and disinformation, and the host bodies of such irresponsibility – Twitter, YouTube, Reddit and Facebook – have done a poor job of preventing the scourge from festering. In a world where the responsibility of truth-telling was once left to the professionals at credible news sources, a new world has been given the keys and the freedom to invent its own reality – from the alt-right knucklehead living in his parents’ basement to the creations stemming from a liberal’s vitriolic cause.

Fake news has become, in President Obama’s words, “a dust cloud of nonsense.”

Given a place to roam free and unattended by the dominant voice of social media, the voice of modern-day information has turned the First Amendment into a nebulous free-for-all of defamation and conspiracy. If you doubt the power of its presence, let this sink in: Fake news influenced our most recent presidential election.

There are no perfect methods of making good journalism. It arrives slowly, with facts, and after hunting and pecking and verifying and condensing and revising, it becomes a document to our history, a small truth. We are constantly reminded that we as a nation should be defined by our truths, not by our interpretations of it. Without these truths, the gravitas of our democracy will simply crumble.

Who’s to blame for this? Do we cast the accuatory finger to social media for giving these sites the platform to inflame our base fears and flaws, or the fake newsmakers themselves? Has traditional journalism become so playful with the facts themselves that they have written the blueprint for fake news to thrive?

Where is the truth anymore, who is telling it, and how do you find it?

The answer may be found in you, the reader.

As we embark on 2017, the editorial staff at the Chester County Press will continue to honor its responsibility to continue the heavy lifting of good journalism. You, in return, will have the right to continue to read and absorb information from whatever sources you choose, be they real or invented.

We only hope that you have the wisdom to know the difference.

Letter to the Editor: The Chester County Press must strive daily to remain a free and independent news organization that is committed to investigative reporting, fact-checking, and exposing false statements. Future President Trump is already pressuring the news media to stop criticizing him, normalize his unprecedented

behaviors, and publish a relentless stream of outright lies.

Our country’s ability to function as a healthy and free democracy depends on the ability and commitment of our news organizations to be independent, skeptical, and willing to speak truth to power. As Thomas Jefferson wrote, “Our liberty cannot be guarded but by the freedom of the

press, nor that be limited without danger of losing it.”

In the months and years to come, your readers will be watching your coverage. Show us that you are guardians of our liberty.

Refuse to simply report what Trump says without also reporting whether it is a lie. Refuse to normalize his actions. Refuse to use euphemisms like

“alt-right” in lieu of accurate descriptors like white nationalism. And refuse to imply that Trump has a mandate for his actions.

He lost the popular vote by a margin of nearly three million. This is a fact that must inform your coverage of each and every action he takes.

Pa. population drops for first time in 31 years Thousands leave for friendlier tax climates For the first time since 1985, Pennsylvania’s total population declined last year, falling by more than 7,600, according to new data from the Census Bureau. In stateto-state migration alone, Pennsylvania lost more than 45,000 residents—one every 11.5 minutes—from July 2015 to July 2016.

“We must consider why our neighbors and family members are leaving the state,” commented Elizabeth Stelle, director of policy analysis for the Commonwealth

Foundation. “Many of the states seeing population growth—including Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Nevada, and Idaho—have lower tax burdens than the commonwealth.

People want economic opportunity, well-paying jobs, and a high quality of life.

Unfortunately, our 15thhighest state and local tax burden in the nation roadblocks these goals.”

A Gallup poll conducted last year found residents in states with higher state and

local tax burdens are more likely to want to leave than those in lower-tax states.

Yet, from 1970 to 2016, Pennsylvania’s state spending skyrocketed from $4 billion to more than $78.5 billion, an inflation-adjusted spike of $16,040 per family of four. Had government limited spending growth to inflation and population since 2000, Pennsylvanians would be saving nearly $22.2 billion in taxes, or $6,952 per family of four.

Instead, from 1991-2015,

Pennsylvania ranked 46th in job growth, 45th in personal income growth, and 46th in population growth.

“We can’t stay on this tax-and-spend trajectory and expect a different outcome,” Stelle continued.

“Unless we want our friends and neighbors to continue fleeing the state, lawmakers and Gov. Wolf must take the bold steps needed to spend responsibly and lighten the tax burden that’s driving people to friendlier tax climates.”

Chester County Commissioners present 2016 agricultural awards

Sara Manning

The Chester County Board of Commissioners, along with the Agricultural Development Council (Ag Council), presented two agricultural awards at a recent Commissioners’ Meeting.

The Farmer of the Year award was presented to Elias and Rebecca King of King’s Pumpkin Farm in Parkesburg, Pa. The Kings are the Ag Council’s firstever Amish winners of the Farmer of the Year award.

The Distinguished Agricultural Service award was given to Sara Manning who worked for the American Mushroom Institute for over 20 years before her retirement earlier this year.

Elias and Rebecca King open their approximately 70-acre Parkesburg farm every fall to thousands of visitors for pumpkin picking right off the vine. King’s Pumpkin Farm also offers the opportunity to explore an elaborate corn maze, feed farm animals in the petting zoo and purchase a variety of locally produced farm products in the farm store.

In addition to the aspects of the farm that are open to the public on a seasonal basis, the Kings grow corn, soybeans and wheat, and operate a dairy in partnership with Elias’ sister, her husband and their family who also live on the farm.

The Kings were represented at the Commissioners’ meeting by Chester County Open Space Preservation Agricultural Programs Coordinator Geoff Shellington. Shellington, who nominated the Kings for the award on behalf of the Open Space Department said, “We nominated the Kings for their commitment to farming and to their community. We are impressed by their dedication to conservation practices like no-till cover cropping in the fields and strategic grazing practices for the dairy cows.

Elias and Rebecca also play an important role in their community, creating a welcoming atmosphere for area residents and their children on the farm.”

“The Kings exemplify

King’s Pumpkin Farm

all the criteria the Council looks for in a Farmer of the Year winner,” said Ag Council Director Hillary Krummrich. “They serve as role models for their industry, employ good conservation practices and have developed innovative ways to maintain and grow their thriving farm business.”

The Distinguished Agricultural Service award winner, Sara Manning played an integral role bringing mushroom growers together through her many outreach efforts at the American Mushroom Institute.

“Of particular note, Manning advocated for critical workplace safety initiatives that have helped bring safety training to mushroom house employees

through creative means like convenient, portable iPhone applications,” commented Hillary Krummrich. “Her passion and enthusiasm for the mushroom industry will be sorely missed by her colleagues across the county and beyond.”

The Chester County Farmer of the Year Award is presented to a deserving individual or family that exemplifies outstanding farm practices, has an innovative operation and keen business sense, and who runs a well-maintained farm.

The Distinguished Agricultural Service award is given to an individual who has made significant contributions to, and provided exceptional service for the Chester County agricultural community.

The Mummers welcome the new year!

The 2017 Philadelphia Mummers Parade will kick off on Jan. 1 with an assortment of colorfully costumed musicians and flamboyant performances representing Mummers traditions both old and in the making.

Mummers fans are invited to Broad Street where the Mummers Parade kicks off at City Hall at 9 a.m. Spectators can enjoy the parade from three special performance zones as more than 10,000 Mummers strut and dance down Broad Street. The parade route will take the performing groups down Broad Street from City Hall to Washington Avenue. The main performance area is at City Hall (15th Street and JFK Boulevard), with additional performance zones located at the Creative and Performing Arts School (901 S. Broad St.) and also at Broad Street and Washington Avenue.

The parade will include five divisions, each with its own artistry, sound and customs. Starting at 9 a.m., leading the parade is Golden Sunrise Fancy Club, which is the last remaining Fancy club in the Philadelphia Mummers Association.

Next, at approximately 9:30 a.m., will be the men of the Wench brigades, clad in bonnets and bloomers, and waving multi-tiered parasols. Then at about 10:30 a.m., it’s the Comics, who often parody current political issues and pop culture.

Following the Comics, stepping off at about 1 p.m., are the String Bands with their glorious costumes and elaborately themed presentations. They will perform for the judges at City Hall and then march down Broad Street,

entertaining the crowds with their intricate musical arrangements combining string, reed and percussion instruments. Interspersed among the String Bands in the parade on Broad Street will be the Fancy Brigades, hot off their midday performance at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, dressed in sequined costumes, masks, and makeup.

Marching among the Comics this year are some returning groups who made their Mummers debut in the 2016 parade: San Mateo Carnavaleros, a joyful, raucous group of vibrant costumed dancers showcasing their Mexican heritage; The Miss Fancy Brigade, an LGBT group comprised of the leading female impersonators in Philadelphia; and Second 2 None, an African-American precision drill team from West Philadelphia. There are two new additions to this year’s Mummers Parade: Southeast By Southeast, a communitybased group showcasing the dance and music of Philadelphia’s Southeast aAsian population; and the Philadelphia Pan Stars Steel Orchestra, a Trinidadian steel drum band based in the City’s Elmwood neighborhood, specializing in the sweet sound of “pan” (as it’s known in Trinidad).

Sometimes described as a cross between a Broadway show and Mardi Gras, the indoor Mummers Fancy Brigade Finale, with its elaborate costumes and massive props, is a highenergy showcase of 12 routines to high-energy music. More than 2,500 Fancy Brigade performers, divided among 12 Fancy Brigade clubs, with each working for one full year

It’s a colorful festival with a long history on Jan. 1 when the Mummers strut through Philadelphia.

to create the themes, costumes, props and drills that comprise the show.

Visitors have two chances to see the indoor Fancy Brigade Finale spectacle on New Year’s Day. The Mummers Fancy Brigade Association presents a family show at 11:30 a.m. and an identical, second show at 5 p.m. Both shows take place in Hall B of the Pennsylvania Convention Center (11th and Arch streets).

Leading up to the event, MummersFest, a four-day, family festival from Dec. 28 to 31, provides a sneak peek into the making of the Mummers Fancy Brigade finale.

On Dec. 31, there will be two fireworks shows over the Delaware River in Philadelphia, at 6 p.m. and midnight, so even the youngest members of the family can enjoy the spectacle.

Philadelphia’s main attraction on New Year’s Eve draws thousands of people to the Delaware

River waterfront. Located within a short walk of Old City, Society Hill and South Street, Penn’s Landing becomes a festive party with revelers of all ages delighting in a breathtaking fireworks display.

If you’re not already in the neighborhood, you can catch a cab or hop on SEPTA’s Blue Line to Old City. From there it’s approximately a five-minute walk to Penn’s Landing. If you must drive, there are

multiple parking lots up and down Columbus Boulevard.

The show, approximately 15 minutes long, has a beautiful backdrop with the illuminated Benjamin Franklin Bridge and, if viewed from Camden, the Philadelphia skyline.

After the show, make your way back to Old City, where you can choose from countless places to continue the celebration.
