Township have responded when the call for help was sounded. Whether a gong hit by a hammer of 1916, or an alert pager of today to communicate that there is an emergency, the spirit of helping neighbors in time of need has not changed.

What is significantly different since those early days is the dimensions of the emergencies being faced. As contrasted with the barn fires of the past, today’s firefighter must deal with vehicle entrapment, hazardous materi-

To deal with these emergencies and provide for the safety of the firefighters, requires a high level of training, sophisticated equipment, personal protective gear and modern fire vehicles.

Located near the center of town the fire station (built in 1962) sits on the exact site of the original station. From this location they provide fire, rescue and fire police services to Newtown Township and a select part of Willistown Township.

As a citizen of the township, you are encouraged to volunteer and become a member. Join your neighbors in serving your community by responding to emergency calls for help.

Congratulations to Marple police for a reaching a new — and elite — level of proficiency.

The department, which is comprised of 28 sworn members plus support staff, was recently accredited by the Pennsylvania Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission. The program, which helps in-

stitutions evaluate and improve overall performance, is administered through the Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association.

“This marks a distinct level of professionalism for a police agency,” said Police Chief Tom Murray. “It has taken us to a level of best practices of complying with specific standards.”

Introduced in 2001, the program is based on specific objectives and requires departments to conduct a thorough analysis to determine how their existing operations can be adapted to meet those objectives. Adhering to the goals allows departments to improve and evaluate performance, reduce risk and exposure to lawsuits and liability and enhance law enforcement/ community relations and confidence in the department.

Since its inception, more than 300 agencies have

enrolled and 102 have achieved accredited status.

The Springfield Township Police Department and Delaware County Sheriff’s office are the only other agencies in the county to have received the designation.

Marple police began the process by performing a self-examination, comparing the department to 136 standards in areas of organization and management (such as use of force, hiring selection), law enforcement functions (response to calls, prisoner transport), staff support responsibilities (property evidence control, supervision of detainees) and legal mandates (missing persons, protection from abuse). The program has insured that all situations, such as filing a report with the Pennsylvania State Police following a vehicle pursuit, emailing the evidence tech regardPOLICE » PAGE 5

ing new evidence placement or providing a crime victim with information within 24 hours of initial contact, are documented.

“The devil is in the details and it helps us pay close attention to everything we do,” said Murray. “If an officer needs to testify in court, for instance, he or she can refer to a specific document where all the necessary information has been compiled. It reinforces the veracity of the officer.”

He added the program has significantly im-

proved the department’s information gathering techniques. It will also augment training, insuring instruction in areas such as bias-based policing are conducted within mandatory periods.

The program has been coordinated by accreditation manager Officer Katie Connolly and administrative Lt. Frank Hannigan. The process has spanned nearly 24 months and accreditation is valid for three years, at which point departments may conduct a re-evaluation to renew their status.

“It is the ultimate level of professional policing,” said Murray. “That is why we are here.”

Before joining the Marple Newtown School District in 2005, Isselmann majored in History at Penn State University. He completed his teaching certification at Immaculata University and he holds a Master’s Degree from Cabrini College.

by students of all grade levels.He also is dedicated to students in extra-curricular activities.

Recently, Isselmann collaborated with a peer and many students to create the Marple Newtown High School 100-Year Anniversary Timeline. The timeline is a prominent monument in the school’s first floor lobby/hallway celebrating the past and present glory of MNHS. Isselmann serves as the advisor for MNHS Student Council. The student council has earned enormous success through its integral role in cultivating a positive morale at the high school. During his tenure as the advisor, MNHS Student Council has celebrated the greatest recognition of excellence by the National Student Council Association as a level member.

Isselmann’s pursuit of diversity in extra-curricular programs led him to create the MNHS LINK program. LINK sponsors many activities; however, one of its highlights in-

cludes a weekend of students connecting with one another and developing essential leadership skills for the 21st century. He spends two weekends a year with 40 high school students helping them cultivate their leadership potential.

In an effort to extend beyond human capabilities, Isselmann embraces additional responsibilities including faculty sponsor of Renaissance, which recognizes student achievement and positive behaviors. He implements resources beyond the classroom environment to institute programs promoting student interests as well as events targeted to improve faculty morale, such as a staff BBQ and an evening of bowling.

Dr. Puckett, principal, said, “Brian’s selfless commitment to our students and school makes him a role model for our novice and experienced teachers.

Positive attitude and high expectations are the foundation from which Brian Isselmann begins each day.”

Marching Tigers named Cavalcade Grand Champions MNHS Tiger Marching Band once again snagged the Champion title in the Cavalcade of Bands competitions on Nov. 15 in Downingtown. In the final week of the high school band marching season, the Marple Newtown High School Band took 1st place in their Yankee division with a score of 96.3 to lock up the top spot in the Cavalcade of Band Championships held Nov. 14 and 15, 2015, in Hershey and Downingtown.

Of the 136 member bands of Cavalcade from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, West Virginia, and Delaware, 92 are eligible to compete at Championships and Marple Newtown ranked #1 of 136 bands.

This is a tribute to the work ethic and dedication of the students and band director Mike Massimo and all should be commended. Hatboro Horsham finished second with a score of 95.8 and Cumberland Valley finished in third place with a score of 94.95.

On Nov. 15, at Downingtown’s Kottmeyer Stadium, the band and color guard performed their 2015 field show, Daredevil, as contenders in the Yankee Open Division at the Cavalcade of Bands Championship Show (“Champs”). The ensemble executed a magical, high

spirited performance of the field show that they have performed and fine-tuned since August. More than 200 Marple residents, including band parents and alumni present and past, cheered and whistled approval from the stands.

At the awards ceremony, it came down to Perkiomen Valley and Marple Newtown being the last two bands standing. When all was said and done, the Marching Tigers succeeded in winning the top spot with a score of 96.65, their highest score in history, and more than a point higher than the number two spot. The big margin is more significant when you consider memorable losses in 2013 and 2012 of a mere .1 or .2 of a point. In addition to the title of “Champion” of their division, MNHS won the awards for “High Auxiliary,” “High Visual,” “High Music,” “High Effect,” and the “Yankee Conference Reid Lessig Best Overall Effect” award.

The Auxiliary award typically refers to the color guard portion of a show, the extra visual component that the color guard adds to the performance. Certainly the guard for MNHS added a huge boost to the excitement of the show with their drama, precision, and color.

pressive musical skills by all musicians and auxiliary throughout the program.

Things like showmanship, staging, creativity, originality, imagination, variety, range, intensity and professionalism are considered and scored.

Paper Mill House has rich history

By Doug Humes For Digital First Media

The Paper Mill House & Museum overlooking Darby Creek at St. David’s and Paper Mill roads has been a center of activity in the community for four centuries. The earliest structure at the site is believed to have been built in the late 1700s by Capt. William Hayman, a U.S. naval captain during the American Revolution. The captain married a local girl, Ann Wayne, sister of Gen. Mad Anthony Wayne.

There was no bridge over

the creek, and so when nearby farmer Thomas Walsh died in 1810, he offered in his will to contribute $400 if the county would contribute the same, to build a bridge within six years. The county accepted the offer, and a beautiful arched bridge was constructed. The bridge remains today, with the original memorial plaque honoring Thomas Walsh.

W hen Capt. Hayman died, William Crosley bought the 187 acre property in 1828 and erected the first in a series of mills that would populate that

site for the next 60 years.

He added on to the Hayman structure, building housing for workers at his mill. By the time of the 1860 census, there were a series of mills along the creek — including a woolen and a paper mill at the property, with millworkers living in buildings perched above the creek along Paper Mill Road.

The mill era came to an end in 1887 when fire destroyed the paper mill.

The western suburbs were changing then — with the growth of the new suburbs on the “Main Line.”

The president of Franklin Sugar Company, Charles Custis Harrison, bought the mill property and the property across the street and had prominent architect Frank Furness design a home there.

The Harrisons held the properties on both sides of St. Davids Road through three generations. In 1976, the celebration of the nation’s Bicentennial kindled local interest in its his-

Bartram’s one of last covered bridges The Bartram Covered Bridge spans the county line between Delaware and Chester counties over Crum Creek near the intersection of Goshen and Boot roads in Newtown Square. It is the last covered bridge remaining in Delaware County, a county which once had over 30 covered bridges.

The bridge has unique slanted plank portals, the only bridge in Pennsylvania with this unusual design.

Built in 1860 by Ferdinand Wood, who designed the portals to be “Hi and Wide as a Load of Hay,” the bridge is 80 feet long by 13 feet wide. The original

cost of $1,133 to build the bridge was shared by Delaware and Chester Counties.

It is named for Mordecai Bartram, an adjacent landowner. The bridge design, pioneered by Theodore Burr, features the Burr Truss, commonly found in Pennsylvania covered bridges of the time.

At one time, the words “LINCOLN, Save Union and Congress” were still visible, painted along the arch inside the bridge. The last traces of this old election graffiti from 1860 are believed to have been lost during the last restoration of the bridge in 1995.

The bridge closed to traffic in 1941, and sat unused, awaiting the same fate as other old bridges in the county. However, on the 100th anniversary of the bridge in 1960, concerned neighbors and preservationists saved the bridge and raised community interest, and then money, to repair the bridge. After years of benign neglect, the bridge was restored in 1995, funded by a combination of donations, grants and fundraising. The bridge is now maintained by a commission of volunteers representing both Newtown and Willistown Townships.

ATTRACTIONS

Historic Newtown Square Day set for June 4 Newtown Square Historical Society

On June 4, the Newtown Square Historical Society will sponsor the 21st annual Historic Newtown Square Day. As part of the day’s activities, some of the sites in Newtown Township that are listed on the National Register of Historic

Some of the sites in Newtown Township that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places will be open to the public.

Places will be open to the public. Come and celebrate more than 300 years of history in Penn’s New Town.

The money raised supports education and preservation in the township. A program book will be available at each site, with the history on the sites that are open this year.

Newtown Township was planned by William Penn as one of the first inland “new towns” in Pennsylvania. It has five sites on the National Register of Historic Places, as well as several others that are eligible for that listing.

The Newtown Square Fire Company is celebrating its 100th birthday this year, with a parade of more than 100 firetrucks down West Chester Pike. They will be staging at St. Anas-

tasia Church before 10:30 a.m. and then will cruise west on West Chester Pike beginning at 11 a.m. till about noon. They will then go off to assemble on the Main Line Health parking for judging.

Local artists will participate in an art show at the Tavern.

Bluegrass music, food, vendors, crafters, children’s activities, face painting, the 1st Colonial Regiment of Foot Revolutionary Soldiers, Lenape native demonstration, sheep shearing and blacksmith demonstrations, animals and more will be featured at Tavern Green.

Local merchants have donated a collection of more than $2,500 in merchandise and gift certificates that we have divided into different

baskets of cheer. Buy your raffle tickets and you choose which baskets you bid on.

All items will be on display at the Tavern Green all day long.

The following sites will be open during the celebration: 1711 Newtown Square Friends Meeting & Cemetery: Newtown Square was settled by Welsh Quakers.

They built an early meeting house at this site in 1711, and expanded it in 1791. You can still see the architectural “ghost” of the first building in the second.

Come visit where Newtown Square residents have been worshipping for over 300 years.

1828 Paper Mill House & Museum: This area along Darby Creek was the 19th century version of an industrial park. Various mills powered by the water flowing from the creek ground our flour, sawed our wood and made textiles and paper for export. And a whole community of workers lived there. In our local history museum, we have re-created rooms from their homes and an 1850 general store at the site, and the upstairs rooms have a variety of items of local history on display. Outside, explore mill ruins.

1860 Bartram Bridge:

The last remaining covered bridge in Delaware County, crossing the Crum Creek.

Neglect and vandalism almost did the old bridge in, but history minded residents on each side of the bridge, in Willistown and New town, have raised money to keep the bridge in good repair. Gates keep out the vandals, but the gates open on this day so you can visit and see the inside of the bridge, the Burr Arch, and perhaps sneak a kiss out of sight of prying eyes, as lovers have been doing for over 150 years.

1895 Newtown Square Railroad Museum: Newtown was served by a passenger and freight rail line built in the late 1890s. Passenger service was discontinued early on, but the “milk run” brought fresh milk from the Pennsylvania Farm to the Pennsylvania Hospital for much of the 20th century. The original freight house was moved from its site to the Drexel Lodge property, and a Railroad Museum has been created with engines, rolling stock, and great photos and fixtures that tell about Newtown’s railroad history.

G a r r e t t -W i l l i a m s o n Farm and Home: The local 4-H will show off their farm skills and animals at the Garrett Williamson farm.

A great stop for children of all ages! Check out and pet the animals, tour the barn and also see the historic Williamson house of one of the earliest settlers in Newtown Township.

Delco Veterans Memorial: Delaware County has honored its military veterans with a beautiful granite memorial visible along West Chester Pike. Come out and meet some of those veterans, search the memorial wall and view the statue installed last year honoring “Wild Bill” Guarnere, one of the Band of Brothers. And, see the most recent addition, the “Hall of Prayers” now under construction.

Cost? One $5 ticket for the day allows access to Tavern and Paper Mill House. All other sites free.

Children always free. Donations encouraged. The money that is raised supports education and historic preservation in the township. A program book will be available at each site, with more history on the sites that are open this year and street addresses for your GPS. Guides will be available to answer questions.

NEWTOWN

A prayerful addition

By Anne Neborak aneborak@21st-centurymedia.com @AnnieNeborak on Twitter

A hushed crowd stood and watched as the first steel beam was raised for the Hall of Prayers at the Delaware County Veterans Memorial. Heavy rain held off as small gathering of about 25 people. Upper Darby Mayor Tom Micozzie, his father, former state Rep. Nick Micozzie and Delaware County Councilman John McBlain attended the ceremony.

T he f lag was raised by employees of O’Rouke and Sons of West Chester at the construction site where the chapel will sit.

O’Rouke and Sons specialize in steel structures.

General Smedley D. Butler Marine Corps League Detachment 741 presented the colors for the Pledge of Allegiance and Christopher Pecoraro sang “God Bless America.”

“If it wasn’t raining it wouldn’t be the time of the day to celebrate. We are here today and I am sure from above their tears are blessing and protecting this land of ours.

day how lucky I am to live in this free country. It’s because of our freedom of expression that we can enjoy all of God’s gifts.

This memorial as an addition, the Hall of Prayers, is God’s gift to me .. I always wanted to put religion within the building,” said Claude de Botton, founding member and land donor of the Delaware County Veterans Memorial.

Until de Botton talked to Upper Darby’s mayor he wasn’t sure how to bring religion to the memorial without controversy.

Micozzie explained how there are s 49 municipalities in Delaware County and said why not place a two by four granite plaque inside the Hall of Prayers with each community writing a statement of thanks to its veterans; another plaque would be designated to Delaware County.

“We are proud to be part of the Hall of Prayers adjacent to the Veterans Memorial. We hope in our small way we can thank this country and the beautiful soldiers that keep us safe every day from the crazies and the nuts of the world,” said de Botton.

Marple pols against zoning changes for Cardinal Crossing project

By Kevin Tustin ktustin@21st-centurymedia. com @KevinTustin on Twitter

In their first official look at a revised, downsized sketch plan of the proposed Cardinal Crossing development, township commissioners said they’re not in favor of changing zoning ordinances for the project.

During a special nonvot in g c om m issioners meeting inside a packed P a x o n Ho l l o w M i d dle School auditorium Wednesday evening, members of the township’s ruling body publicly declared their hesitations with the project, citing it to be “too much” development on the 213-acre site of the former Don Guanella Village on Sproul and Reed roads — even in this more scaledback proposal.

“Personally, I think it’s too much development, but that’s just me,” said Commissioner John Lucas an hour into the presentation of the sketch plan. “I’m not against development … but in my mind the development, to me, has to take into consideration the municipal and the residents who live here. To me that means open space, more open space.”

In the sketch plans, 61 townhouses in the back of the development have been removed to open up nine acres for a recreational complex. A YMCA and hotel were also planned but have been removed for a 145,000-square foot office building likely to be occuMARPLE >>

Bumper stickers noting “Once it’s gone, it’s gone forever” have been distributed by members of Save Marple Greenspace, a group opposed to the Cardinal Crossing project. pied by Main Line Health.

Though taking out some of the townhouses were a start, some commissioners felt it was not enough, and that an office building would create more problems with traffic in addition to what would already be generated by the commercial part of the development slated for Sproul Road.

“All I can tell you is that at this point, there has to be major reductions (overall), or major increases in open spaces before I can vote to change any ordinances,” said Commissioner John Longacre.

Commissioner Robert Fortebuono said the issue with the development is not what is being put there, it’s how much is being put there.

“I don’t have a problem with people coming in to build here, but it’s just way too much density being taken,” Fortebuono said.

Commissioner Jan Centre echoed Fortebuono’s

sentiments, saying that the project is too dense and he would not vote for it, either.

Tom Comitta, township land planner, said one of the good parts of the plan was the central green space proposed for the recreational complex, but there’s just “not enough” of it.

“When more of it comes, I think it will add a good balance to the plan that’s currently missed,” he said.

Since plans were presented to the commissioners last July, only the land for the 61 townhomes that have been scrubbed in the sketched plan will be reapportioned to open space.

Committa also said the meeting should be used by commissioners to bring direction to the developer, Goodman Properties, and issued three points of direction to consider: Remove 101 townhouses at the back to further increase open space; refining of design guidelines for the plan; and whether traffic studies are meeting the requirements of PennDOT Board of Commissioners President Joe Rufo wrapped up the two-hour presentation and commissioner comment period with his statements, which were met with a roar of applause.

“Clearly, this plan is not supported by this board, and won’t be supported by this board,” he said.

“Tonight, and at previous meetings, clearly most of our constituents don’t like what they see, so at this point, in my view we will not be changing zoning for this plan.”
