Teri’s Run Set For Sept. 6 In Downingtown By Francine Fulton
The 18th annual Teri’s Run and Twilight Walk, featuring a 5K run, a 1.5-mile walk and a children’s run, will take place in Downingtown on Friday, Sept. 6. The race is held in honor of Teri Valocchi, a native of Downingtown, who passed away in February of 2002 at the age of 48 from complications of scleroderma. Because of Teri’s love of taking part in challenging events, including marathons and triathlons, her family decided it would be fitting to hold a running event in her honor. “She was a big competitor. She loved biking, running and swimming. She actually got a few of her sisters into doing triathlons (with her),” said Alicia Ash, Teri’s niece. “She liked to run at night. The house where she grew up was at the intersection of Green Street and East Pennsylvania Avenue, where we start the race.” See Teri’s Run pg 10
Participants of all ages took part in last year’s Teri’s Run. This year’s event, featuring a 5K run, a 1.5-mile walk and a children’s run, will be held on Sept. 6 in Downingtown.

refilling water and food bowls, and then spend time cuddling and playing with the cats and kittens that are housed there. “We have several Petcos that allow us to display our kitties in the habitats they provide. They are not cages; they are stationary habitats that can hold two to five kitties at a time,” explained Araceli Wakil, adoption location coordinator. “They stay for a week and half, and, if not adopted, they go back to a foster home. We need to tend to them twice a day - once in the morning and once in the evening.” Volunteers are asked to make a commitment of at least one hour each week, the time it takes to complete the necessary tasks in the pet store. “There are two parts to the job. The first part is cleaning and refreshing the food and water and scooping out the litter, and the other part is making sure the cats are doing OK and are showing no signs of distress,” said Wakil. “You can be there as long as you want. You can do your cleaning and then pet and groom the kitty. If you want to be there for two hours, that’s fine.” She said that volunteering in the pet

stores is ideal for people who want to be of help to a pet rescue without the commitment of bringing a dog or cat into their homes. It is also a volunteer job that can be done with a friend or family member. “Most people do this in pairs, either parents with children or married couples,” Wakil said. “It’s a great job for parents who want to spend more onon-one time with their children, and for high school students, it’s a good resume builder for college. It is a commitment; you don’t get paid, but you have a job to do.” Prospective volunteers are asked to complete an application at www.spayandsave.org/volunteer. They will be contacted by the organization about where their services are needed. Other volunteer opportunities available through the rescue include transporting pets and working on Saturdays when monthly adoption events are held. “When we need to get (cats) to a store or to an (adoption) event, we need people to drive them - an Uber car for cats,” Wakil said. “It’s seems like a small job, but it’s a big deal.

In 1996, Wolfson Group president Steve Wolfson approached officials at West Whiteland Township (WWT) with his vision to build what he termed a “walkable Main Street community.” The first phase - the commercial development known as Main Street at Exton - launched in 2000. The development is a retail and dining destination at the intersection of Routes 30 and 100, serving residents in and beyond Chester County. On Aug. 6, 2019, Wolfson celebrated the full realization of his original vision with state Sen. Andy Dinniman, WWT officials, architects, builders, engineers, bankers, and members of the community at a groundbreaking ceremony for the second and third phases of the project: the Ashbridge Luxury Residential Apartments. Working with WWT, the new community rising at Main Street at Exton will feature recreational amenities including a new trail that will enable residents to walk or bike directly to the newly renovated SEPTA/Amtrak train station, just a short walk from the development. As he thanked Dinniman and WWT officials for their efforts over two decades to bring the project to fruition, along with lenders M&T Bank and Beneficial Bank, Wolfson noted that he was particularly proud of the renovation meant to transform the

Leaf Control: Cleaning Up Leaves With Ease

Autumn is marked by colorful foliage and declining temperatures. Once leaves reach peak color, they fall from branches and collect on lawns, necessitating cleanup projects. For homeowners with large yards, such projects can be tiring and time-consuming. However, there are ways to make leaf cleanup easier. One of the simplest ways to clean up leaves is to reach for a lawn mower rather than a rake. The mower will cut leaves down to smaller sizes, creating mulch. The potential benefits of leaving mulched leaves on a lawn were studied by turfgrass specialists at Michigan State University (MSU) beginning in the 1990s. While the researchers noticed an obvious leaf residue on the lawn after mulching, they noted that it only remained for a few
days. Eventually, the tiny pieces sifted down into the lawn, ultimately serving to control future weed growth while also providing the lawn with essential nutrients. Over time, researchers noted that homeowners who mulched rather than raked their leaves needed less fertilizer to give their lawns a green look in spring, saving homeowners the effort and cost associated with fertilizing. Researchers also noted that decomposing pieces of leaves cover up bare spots between turf plants, which have traditionally proven to be excellent spots for weed seeds to germinate. In fact, MSU notes that homeowners can expect a nearly 100 percent decrease in dandelions and crabgrass after mulching leaves for just three years.
Depending on the type of mower being used, up to six inches of leaves can be mulched at a time. Push mowers can handle smaller amounts, though they can still be as effective as ride-on mowers. Davey, a lawn and landscape solutions service, says that mowed leaves also can be collected in a mower bag and added to garden beds or compost piles. Of course, mulching is not the only way to deal with fallen leaves. For those who prefer manual raking, select a rake with tines that will not skewer the leaves in the process. Large rakes also can make faster work of gathering leaves into piles. The home improvement resource The Family Handyman advocates for the use of a lawn sweeper. This is a manual device
that has a rotating sweeping brush that gathers up lawn debris and leaves into an attached hopper bag. Like mowed leaves, the bag can be emptied into a compost pile or distributed where needed. Raking leaves onto a large tarp is another option. Once it is full, the tarp can be taken to the curb for leaf collection or used as a funnel to put leaves into a gardening bag or another appropriate receptacle. Leaf blowers remain a fast option for cleaning up yards, but they require electricity or gas and can be noisy. Still, they are a popular choice for large landscapes or when quick work needs to be made of leaf cleanup. Leaves will fall in autumn, but thankfully homeowners have various methods at their disposal to tame the mess.

Fall Lawn and Gardening To-Do List • Pamper perennials. As annuals and perennials start to fall back, mark the spots where perennials are located so they can be easily identified later on. This way, when gardeners are planning spots for spring bulbs or other spring layouts for next year, perennials won’t be overlooked or covered over. • Prune shrubs and hedges. Look at shrubs, hedges, and trees and cut out dead or diseased wood. • Clean up borders. Weed and tidy up borders and lawn edging. • Install pavers or rock wall. Embrace the cooler temperatures to work on labor-intensive projects, such as putting in a garden bed, retaining wall, or walkway. • Remove spent summer veggies. Take out vegetable garden plants that have already bloomed and borne fruit. Tidy up vegetable gardens and start to sow cooler weather plants, such as onions, garlic, beans, and sweet peas. • Rake and compost. Rake the
leaves and gather grass clippings to add to the compost pile. • Plant spring bulbs. Get tulips and other spring bulbs ready for planting so they’ll burst with color next year. • Dig up herbs. Relocate herbs like parsley or basil to indoor gardens. Otherwise, strip all leaves and freeze for storage during winter. • Consider mums. Chrysanthemum plants are perennials. While they look beautiful in pots, if planted, maintained, and winterized, they can bloom every fall.
• Fertilize the lawn. Fertilizing in autumn helps ensure grass will stay healthy throughout the winter. • Add mulch and compost to the garden. Replenish spent soil with mulch and compost so garden beds will be revitalized for spring planting. • Clean and store equipment. Clean, sharpen, and oil all equipment, storing lawn and garden tools properly so they are ready for spring and not lying out all winter.

How to Create A Winter-Friendly Outdoor Living Space For many homeowners, the arrival of fall and winter marks an end to time spent lounging and dining al fresco on the patio. But cold air does not necessarily mean patio furniture must be packed up until flowers bloom anew in spring. In its 2017 Home Design Trends Survey, the American Institute of Architects found that consumers continue to emphasize practical features that expand the functionality of their homes via heavy investment in outdoor living spaces. The survey found that the popularity of outdoor living
spaces increased by 72 percent between 2012 and 2017, highlighting just how much homeowners enjoy spending time outdoors. By taking measures to make their outdoor living spaces winterproof, homeowners can enjoy these areas of their homes even more. · Cover your deck. A covered deck may appear to make the space less enjoyable during spring and summer; however, covered decks can protect residents from the sun on especially hot days in summer while also making the space more
functional in winter. An overhead shelter on a deck can be outfitted with heaters (and fans to provide a cooling effect in summer) and allow residents to sit outside and watch snow fall without getting wet. · Plant the right trees. Coniferous trees protect against wind, which can be especially harsh in winter. Homeowners can consult a landscape architect to determine where to plant the trees to ensure they are most effective. · Fire up the patio. A firepit or fireplace can warm up an outdoor living area, making
such a space cozy even on a cold winter night. A patio with a built-in firepit can cost a pretty penny, but such an addition can withstand winter weather better than a standalone firepit, which might be vulnerable to being tipped over by winter winds. · Install lighting. The sun sets early in winter, so homeowners won’t be able to rely on natural light to illuminate their outdoor living spaces well into the evening like they do in summer. Heat lamps can be used to both warm and illuminate a space, serving dual, budget-friendly functions.

It’s Not Hard: Weather-Proof Stay Safe While Removing Fallen Leaves Your Hardwood Floors
Wood floors can improve the beauty and function of many rooms in a home. Even though wood floors are durable and new protective treatments help seal out many of the things that may have damaged floors in the past, homeowners still need to prioritize protecting their hardwood floors. Certain seasons of the year can be harsher on wood floors than others. For example, seasons characterized by moisture and precipitation, particularly the early spring, the winter, and the fall, can be hard on wood floors. The experts at ServiceMaster Clean say that cold, snowy days can damage wood floors, and Lumber Liquidators agrees that winter weather can be particularly harsh on flooring. With proper care, however, hardwood flooring can survive rain, snow, and cold weather. Homeowners seeking to protect their floors during all four seasons can follow several key steps to keep floors looking beautiful. • Clean up the salt. Salt that keeps sidewalks and streets clear of snow and ice inadvertently gets tracked inside a home. Hard chunks of salt can scratch wood floors, and, if left to sit, that salt can eventually cause white marks and
other stains. Routinely vacuuming and sweeping up salt is necessary to protect wood floors. • Invest in shoe storage. Wet or snowy boots can create puddles around the house. Place a special mat or tray by the front door where wet shoes can be kept. A bench in the entryway makes it easy for residents and guests to remove their shoes until it is time to go back outside. • Use water-wicking mats. Homeowners will probably need a few extra mats around to tame errant drips and to wipe their shoes on. Any entrance that might be used by people or pets should be protected. Try to avoid petroleum-based, rubber-backed mats, as they could discolor the wood floor. • Control humidity indoors. Cold, dry air in a home can be problematic because the moisture in the wood can eventually evaporate into the air. Heat will suck the moisture from the flooring, causing it to shrink, creak, splinter, and become more brittle. Think about investing in an in-line humidifier for the home’s HVAC system, which can keep a moderate amount of humidity in the home. Hardwood floorboards are installed to accommodate minor temperature and humidity fluctuations. This is typically a range of between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit with a relative humidity range of 35% to 55%, advises ServiceMaster. • Use the right cleaning products. Avoid excessive water to clean wood floors, and select soaps that are specially designed for wood flooring. Consult with the flooring manufacturer for a list of detergents that are safe to use.
Raking leaves may seem like a simple activity, but, like many household maintenance tasks, it holds the potential for injury. The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center advises that pain from outdoor leaf chores can range from strained back muscles to twisted knees. Here’s how to stay safe when cleaning up leaves: • Consider cardiovascular health. Many people do not realize that raking is a thorough cardiovascular workout. Individuals at risk for cardiovascular disease or those who have recovered from surgery may not be well enough to rake leaves. • Pay attention when using a leaf blower. Be cautious not to point an operational blower in the direction of people or pets, as debris can be blown about and cause injury. • Stretch before raking leaves. Warm up muscles beforehand so they are less likely to cramp. UPMC experts suggest taking a short walk prior to raking to stimulate circulation. • Use proper raking form. Much like
snow shoveling, one should emphasize proper posture when raking, with legs slightly bent and weight distributed evenly. Hold the rake handle close to the body and keep one hand near the top of the rake for better leverage. • Use the proper gear. A leaf rake fans out like a triangle and comes in various widths. Choose a lightweight material that can be easily maneuvered. A metal rake is for stones and dirt and should not be used for leaves. To get between bushes, a smaller version of a leaf rake, called a shrub rake, should be used. • Wear protective gear. Anyone raking or leaf blowing should protect their eyes against debris. They also may consider using a mask to prevent inhalation of leaf mold and other particulates. Gloves can protect hands from blisters. • Follow manufacturers’ directions. Read the instructions for powered leaf blowers, and never modify the device in an unauthorized way. • Use a tarp and lift wisely. Rake leaves
onto a tarp that can be dragged to a garbage pail or to the curb for municipal pickup. For those who must lift bags of leaves, do so by bending at the knees, not from the waist. • Wear sunscreen. Even though temperatures are cooler in the fall, the sun’s rays are still harmful. People should also take frequent breaks to rehydrate.
• Use a secure ladder. When removing leaves from gutters, be sure the ladder is sturdy and secure. Consider having a friend serve as a spotter, holding on to the ladder to offer greater security. Do not overextend to stretch for leaves. • Listen to the body’s signals. If sharp or dull incessant pains occur at any time during leaf cleanup, stop working.
Preparing A Deck For Winter Homeowners often take steps to winterize the interior of their homes in the weeks before winter’s arrival, but such efforts should extend to the outside of a home as well. Decks make for great gathering places when the weather permits. Decks are where many people spend their free time and eat their meals come spring and summer, when the temperatures climb and the sun sets well into the evening. But as summer turns to fall, homeowners must take measures to protect their decks from potentially harsh winter weather. • Inspect the deck for problems. Decks tend
to be used more often in summer than any other time of year. That makes fall and early winter an ideal time to inspect for wear and tear and any additional issues that may have cropped up during the summer. Damaged boards and loose handrails should be fixed before winter arrives, especially if homeowners plan to use their decks in winter. Fixing such issues in winter and even in spring may be difficult due to harsh conditions, so make good use of the relatively calm autumn weather to fix any issues on the deck. • Clear the deck of potted plants. Even homeowners who intend to use their decks in winter should remove potted plants from the
deck in the fall. The home improvement experts at HGTV note that moisture can get trapped between deck boards and plastic, wood, or ceramic containers in cold weather, and that can contribute to mildew, discoloration, or decay. • Store unnecessary furniture. Homeowners who like to sit on their decks in winter will no doubt want to leave some furniture out. But those with lots of furniture for entertaining guests can likely move the majority of it into a garage or shed for the winter. HGTV notes that doing so will prevent the potential formation of blemishes on the deck that can result from inconsistent weathering.
• Remove snow, but do so carefully. Prolonged contact with snow and ice can damage a deck. As a result, homeowners should clear snow from their decks when accumulation is significant. HGTV recommends using a snow blower on the deck to avoid scarring. If a shovel must be used, push snow in the direction of the planks to reduce the risk of damaging the deck. Homeowners who take steps to protect their decks throughout the winter months can ensure these popular areas are ready once entertaining season returns in the spring.
If you think that colder weather means the end of beautiful garden colors, think again. There are plenty of cool-season flowers and other plants that can add a pop of color to brighten drab days. These flowers provide color right when many people need it most. Homeowners who live in climates marked by cold winters can select plants that offer color without flowers, including cabbages and kales, which can survive most cold winters and lend an interesting texture to a winter landscape bed. Camellias are a type of flower that bloom in fall and winter in hues of red, pink, coral, white, and more. The plants are evergreen and will grow from shrubs or small trees when fully established. Hardy varieties may be able to withstand the chill of winter. Of course, no list of winter’s colorful plants would be complete without holly, which offers an eye-catching display of evergreen leaves and bright red berries, though sometimes the berries are golden. For more ideas, visit a local garden center to learn about plants that can add vibrant color to a landscape during autumn and into winter.

Wiring Woes: The Dangers Of Old Wiring Plant Preparation: Winterizing The Garden Old homes can be charming and contain architectural elements not often seen in many modern housing developments. But what older homes may have in design appeal, they sometimes lack in updated features. While cosmetic changes are not necessarily difficult, one area of concern in historic homes and sometimes even in houses built only 40 or 50 years ago - is outdated wiring. Over time, wiring can be compromised through simple aging, pest infiltration, weather, or other conditions. Deteriorated wiring can present a shock hazard and also a serious fire hazard, warn the home renovation experts at The Spruce. Furthermore, the home improvement site This Old House advises that the amperage of old wiring may not be able to meet the needs of all the devices used in modern homes,

overpowering the circuits. This strain can cause breaker blowouts and other problems, such as overheated wires that may spark and cause fires from within the wall. Wiring often falls into the “out of sight, out of mind” category. Homeowners may make allowances for inadequate electrical systems, such as running extension cords or using multiplug connectors to increase their wiring capacity. However, they may not be diligently keeping on top of upgrades needed to stay safe. Confirming that a home’s electrical system is safe is a necessary part of home maintenance. Those who have not already done so should schedule an inspection with a licensed electrician to go over their home’s wiring. The electrician can determine if any areas pose a safety risk or do not conform to local

code requirements and the National Electrical Code. Failure to meet code requirements can lead to difficulty obtaining permits to make other home renovations or difficulty selling a home later on. The electrician can also go over improvements that can enhance safety and function. Installing additional outlets, including GFCI outlets in kitchens and bathrooms, may be part of the plan, as well as rewiring a fuse box or circuit panel to allow for better flow of power around the house. Frayed wiring or underinsulated wiring also may need to be replaced. Owners of old homes should recognize possible electrical system dangers that require attention. Plus, because electrical codes change quite frequently, it is always in a homeowner’s best interest to work with a qualified electrician to keep wiring inspected and up to date.

Mold and mildew are not only unsightly, but unhealthy. These fungi grow readily in damp areas and are found in the air breathed both indoors and outside. If left unaddressed, mold and mildew can threaten the health of a home’s inhabitants. Mildew is a type of mold that remains relatively flush with the surface it grows on. Other molds can grow puffy in appearance. Molds serve the purpose of destroying organic materials, but in high amounts, these microorganisms can cause respiratory problems, sinus congestion, throat irritation, headaches, and other issues, particularly when mold grows unchecked indoors, says Better Homes and Gardens. As a result, it is essential to address mold before it becomes problematic.
According to Polygon, a drying technology and temporary climate solutions company, the wet season in winter is when molds often grow and expand. Mold can break down the integrity and strength of the surfaces where it grows. Homeowners can employ the following strategies to prevent mold growth: • Keep all surfaces clean, using proper cleaning products. Diluted bleach solutions are highly effective at killing microscopic fungi, viruses, and bacteria. • Reduce moisture and humidity by ensuring sufficient air circulation in rooms, particularly bathrooms and kitchens. An exhaust fan will help remove moisture quickly. • Fabrics that are covered in mildew and can be laundered should be carefully removed and washed in chlorine bleach and hot water. An oxygen bleach product also can be effective. • Invest in a dehumidifier that can

their particular perennials for the coming months. The steps necessary to care for annuals as the weather grows colder depend on which type of annuals - cool- or warmclimate - the homeowner has. Cool-climate annuals should be covered with polyspun garden fabric when light frost is in the forecast. In addition, Better Homes and Gardens recommends pulling dead annuals and adding them to a compost pile after a killing frost. Any annuals that developed fungal disease should be discarded. Homeowners should mulch annual beds with a three- to fourinch layer of chopped leaves or similar materials, spreading the mulch only two inches thick over self-sown seeds they want to germinate in the spring. Warm-climate annuals also should be covered with polyspun garden fabric when light frost is expected. Seeds of cold-hardy annuals can be planted for extended winter bloom, while gardeners also can collect seeds of warm-weather plants that will breed true to type. Even though the focus is winterizing, Better Homes and Gardens recommends that gardeners continue to weed
and water their plant beds and plants while also keeping an eye out for pests. If organic mulch has decomposed or thinned out, replace it with a new layer. Get Busy Gardening! notes that the bulbs of tender plants like dahlias and tuberous begonias can be dug up and overwintered in their dormant state. All dead foliage should be removed after the bulbs have been dug up, and the bulbs should be allowed to dry out a little before being stored. Container gardeners can overwinter their tender bulbs in their pots inside, but they should be sure to remove the plants’ foliage and store them in a dark, cool place that maintains temperatures above freezing. Winterizing may mark the end of gardening season, but it is an important task that can ensure a healthy, beautiful garden in the next spring, summer, and fall.
Leave Mold Out In The Cold
RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTURAL COMMERCIAL
Quarryville, PA
For the majority of gardening enthusiasts, gardening is a warm-weather activity. While some people live in climates that make it possible to enjoy gardening yearround, those who don’t may lament the end of the gardening season. Winter might not be conducive to gardening, but the arrival of cold weather does not necessarily mean a gardener’s work is done until the following spring. Taking steps to protect plants from winter weather is an important part of maintaining a healthy garden that thrives from year to year. Timing is of the essence when winterizing a garden. The online gardening resource Get Busy Gardening! advises gardeners that the best time to winterize is after the first hard freeze in the fall. A hard freeze occurs when temperatures dip below freezing overnight. When that occurs, annual plants and vegetables are killed off, and perennial plants, which grow back year after year, begin going dormant. Better Homes and Gardens notes that perennials are the easiest plants to prepare for winter, as they require just a little cutting back and mulching to be safe from cold weather. But no two perennials are alike, so homeowners should consult their local gardening center for advice on how to prepare
Fires are unpredictable and can cause devastating loss of life and property. The U.S. Fire Administration states that, in 2017, there were 1,319,500 reported fires that resulted in 3,400 deaths and 14,670 injuries in the United States. Travelers Insurance company advises people to develop a comprehensive fire safety plan, which can help save lives when used in concert with functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. However, the National Fire Protection Association says only about one-quarter of households actually have developed and practiced a fire-escape plan or have taken measures to prevent fires around their homes. Here are some ways to stay safe: · Repair or replace malfunctioning kitchen appliances promptly. Keep work-
ing appliances clean and always use them according to the manufacturer’s instructions. · Do not leave the room while cooking. The Consumer Product Safety Commission says that most kitchen fires, which can ignite in as little as one minute, start after someone has left the room. · Keep a fully charged and functioning fire extinguisher on the premises, preferably one on each floor of a home. Similarly, smoke detectors should be located on every floor of the home and near bedroom areas Ensure all smoke detectors in the home are working properly and have fresh batteries. Old or damaged detectors should be replaced with new equipment. · Do not overload power strips with plugs, and have a licensed electrician inspect and suggest updates to antiquated
reduce moisture in the home in problem areas, such as damp basements or garages. •Fix plumbing leaks as soon as possible. • Remove damp leaves and snow from areas around the foundation of the home. Ensure that gutters and downspouts are clear of debris and can shuttle water away from the house effectively. • Replace cracked or defective mortar in basements. • Make sure all seals on windows and doors are not compromised and are in good working condition. • Be sure an HVAC in-line humidifier is adjusted to the right setting and is not pumping too much moisture into the heated air; otherwise, the added humidity can contribute to mold. • If there is a flood or if water infiltrates a home in other ways, hire a professional service to help clean and dry the home effectively. wiring systems. · Teach children about the dangers of playing with fire. Keep matches and lighters away from children. · Pull together all members of the household to come up with an effective evacuation plan. Walk through the building and inspect all possible escape routes. Mark two ways out of each room. If a window exit is recommended, have a functioning ladder that can provide a safe exit. · Choose an outside meeting place that is far away from the residence, but close enough that the meeting place can be easily reached by all. · Set up a buddy system so that certain members of the family will be responsible for helping elderly, young, or disabled people exit the premises. · Practice identifying escape routes and institute regular evacuation drills so that everyone can function quickly should a fire occur.

At the contest, youths gave prepared speeches on a topic of their choosing with an optional presentation. Youths were judged on their preparedness, the information they provided, and their speaking skills. A total of four youths competed in the contest, with two individual speeches and one group speech. Suzanna Angstadt, 18,
gave a presentation discussing “Herbal Equine Medicine Alternatives.” Mary Wirtel, 15, and Brianna Geyer, 17, gave a team speech on “Equine Farriers and the Shoeing Process.” The last contestant, Caitlyn Geyer, 17, spoke about “Equine Driving.” Administered in Pennsylvania by Penn State Extension, 4-H is a community of more than 6 million young people across America learning leadership, citizenship, and life skills.

Spirit Award from pg 1 By Francine Fulton
Suzanna Angstadt of West Caln Township was recently presented with the Spirit of 4-H Award, which is given annually to one member of Chester County 4-H. She received the award on Aug. 7 during the Chester County 4-H Fair held at the Romano 4-H Center in Honey Brook. Angstadt is an active member of the Windy Hollow 4-H Horse Club, Teen Council and the Paparazzi Photography Club. She frequently leads a variety of activities at her 4-H club meetings and teaches other youths about horses as part of the 4-H Pony Partners equine outreach program. Angstadt received a plaque in recognition of being selected as the award winner, and her name is displayed on a larger plaque at the 4-H Center. Originally a club award, the Spirit of 4-H Award was started in 1998 by the former Saddle Up 4-H Horse and Pony Club that met in northern Chester County. The award went to a member of the club who demonstrated the most spirit, enthusiasm and willingness to do anything for 4-H or the community. In 2007, the club, with support from the 4-H Advisory Committee, made it a countywide award that is presented to one Chester County 4-H member at the annual 4-H Fair.
4-H club leaders are asked to nominate one member from each club for the award. Nominees must display the qualities listed, have been in 4-H for at least one project year and have participated in meetings and club activities. Once nominated, the members are asked to complete an application to be reviewed by the 4-H Advisory Committee, which selects the nominee deemed most deserving to win the award. “The application has a number of questions, such as what they have done in 4-H and how it has impacted their lives,” noted Toni Stuetz, 4-H extension educator. In her application, Angstadt credited 4-H for helping her become more outgoing and confident. She uses the public speaking and leadership skills she learned through 4-H in various aspects of her life, noting that those skills gave her the confidence to speak in front of various groups and at her high school graduation. Her leader, Amy Pippin, shared, “(Angstadt) inspires all those she meets and leads with enthusiasm and confidence.” Four additional 4-H members were honored: Melanie Fusco of South Coventry Township, Aaron Goldman of Oxford, Summer Lauren of West Chester and Aaron Phillips of Warwick Township. They were

Join Us For Our male and female finishers of the 5K. Prizes donated by local businesses will be given to the top two male and female finishers in each age group. All participants in the children’s run will receive finisher medals. Refreshments donated by local supporters will be provided for free to participants after the 5K race and walk. All proceeds from the event will go to research on the cause, treatment and cure of scleroderma, which is a progressive connective tissue disease that causes the hardening and thickening of connective tissues and can also cause swelling or pain in the muscles and joints. The effects of the disease include varying degrees of discomfort and disability, and the disease can be life-threatening. At present, there is neither a cure for scleroderma nor an effective treatment to halt its progress.
Teri left behind her husband, Kevin Petrasic, and their daughter, Katelynn Petrasic, who was 5 years old at the time of her mother’s death. Both are actively involved in organizing the Teri’s Run event. In 2018, runners, walkers and sponsors raised $19,000, which was given to the National Scleroderma Foundation and the Scleroderma Research Foundation. Since its inception, Teri’s Run has been able to raise more than $190,000 for research into the cause and cure for scleroderma. “Not many people know about it, and that is the goal of the event as well - to raise awareness,” said Ash. “We usually get between 400 and 500 (participants). We are grateful for the community’s support; it has been overwhelming.” For more information or to register for the event, readers may visit www.terisrun.org or www.facebook.com/ pg/terisrun/events.
