Competition ready

OJR athletes take part in first track and field meet

BY FRANCINE FULTON

For the first time, students with special needs at Owen J. Roberts (OJR) High School are able to take part in a competitive track and field program through Special Olympics Unified Sports.

Practices for the new program began on March 5 and have continued twice weekly after school in OJR’s Wildcat Stadium. In the event of rain, practices are held indoors.

The team from OJR participated in its first track meet on April 11 at B. Reed Henderson High School. There, the OJR Wildcats team competed against student-athletes from the West Chester school, as well as Sun Valley High School, located in Delaware County.

During the meet, students ran the 100- , 400- and 800-meter races and took part in field events, including a mini javelin throw and long jump. The event culminated with a 4-by-100-meter relay. As

part of the event, four students each had to run a distance of 100 meters in a single lane on the track. During each leg of the run, the students had to carry a baton and then pass it over to the next team member on the track.

About 12 OJR High School athletes are involved in the program. “We were so proud of them,” said Meg Wrubel, who is coaching the team along with Meg Harpold. Both are special education and life skills teachers at OJR.

In preparation for the opening meet, the students practiced staying in their own lane while running on the track and passing a baton for the 4-by-100 relay race. Field events involved in the program include the shotput and long jump.

The students enjoyed competing as well as encouraging their teammates. “I loved running fast,” said Connor, one of the participating students.

“I loved cheering on my friends,”

added student runner Josh.

Both teachers said that they are looking forward to watching the student-athletes progress during the remainder of the season. “Seeing the students have fun and see their hard work pay off is so special,” said Harpold.

“The students are increasing their athletic skills each week, and we are eager to see their continued success on the field throughout the spring season,” Wrubel added.

According to www.special olympics.org, young people with disabilities do not often get a chance to play on their school sports teams, which is why it created the Unified Sports program. In Unified Sports, teams are made up of athletes of similar age and ability, with the aim of making practices, meets and games more fun and challenging. The programming is available in more than 8,300 schools across the United States, with a goal of being in 10,000 schools by 2024.

17th annual EPC Golf Outing to drive out homelessness

BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD

According to the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, more than 15,000 Pennsylvanians are known to be homeless on any given day. Housing instability and crises can stem from a multitude of factors, affecting men, women

and children across the state. In Lancaster and Chester counties, nonprofit organization Good Samaritan Services (GSS) is working hard to combat homelessness by offering a variety of resources to individuals who are experiencing a housing crisis.

One of GSS’ largest fundraisers is an annual golf outing that is

Tri-County Heritage Library sets open house

BY FRANCINE FULTON

Those interested in local history are invited to attend the annual community open house at the Tri-County Heritage Library (TCHL), 4979 Twin Valley Road, Elverson, on Saturday, April 27, from 1 to 5 p.m. Admission is free, and light refreshments will be served.

Featured during this year’s open house will be collections from two area families - the Plank Collection and the McCord/Bard Collection. The Planks were a prominent

family in Morgantown, and their collection spans from the 1920s to the 1980s. Tom McCord was a local photographer and a history buff.

“The Plank house, (which has since been torn down), stood at Route 10 and Route 23 in the center of Morgantown,” noted Mark Zerr, executive director of the Hay Creek Valley Historical Association (HCVHA), which acquired the library from the Tri-County Heritage Society (TCHS) in 2021. “Tom McCord had a photography business in

On average, GSS has served 300 people per day and 72,000 meals every year since its founding in 1999. The organization, which began with a single location in Phoenixville, has since expanded to include additional facilities in Lancaster city, Coatesville and Kennett Square, along with a new office Ephrata, which was built last year. The continued expansions have allowed GSS to greatly increase the size of its staff, in addition to the number of people it is able to serve through its programs - and it couldn’t come at a better time. “We really are serving record levels of people; we’re

on pace to serve 800 women and children this year, which is a 25% increase from 2023,” Hoffer said. “Our focus is on continuing to respond to the needs of our communities across Lancaster and Chester counties.” The many programs offered by GSS include seasonal shelter during the cold months, emergency housing to address clients’ basic needs and transitional housing as individuals receive assistance to meet their goals. According to Hoffer, these programs are primarily sustained by funding that comes from individuals and businesses in the community. “What we do provides such a critical, basic need, but the reality is that 98% of our budget comes from the good will of the people in our communities,” said Hoffer. “It keeps our doors open and our programs running.”

Registration for the EPC Golf Outing may be completed online before Wednesday, May 29. For more information or to register online, visit https://epcgolfouting .com/register. To learn more about GSS and its programs, visit https:// goodsamservices.org.

Sometimes we try too hard. Sometimes we overthink things. Sometimes the answer is right in front of us.

The PA Family Travel Fair has a unique way of simplifying things. The lively event focuses on recreation, on Pennsylvania, on family.

“Recreation is so important to your well-being,” said Wendy Royal, organizer of the PA Family Travel Fair and editor of Where & When Pennsylvania. “It’s crucial to your health to check out of your job. It can just be a long weekend. But it’s time with kids too. It’s important for families to spend time together. It’s important to get away and make those memories. You only get 18 summers with your kids.”

The sixth edition of the annual PA Family Travel Fair, hosted by Where & When Pennsylvania, will be presented on Saturday, April 27, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at a new location, John Bonfield Elementary School, 101 N. Oak St., Lititz. The event is free to attend.

“There’s nothing else like this in the state of Pennsylvania,” said Royal. “We call it a travel

fair because it’s fun and informative. I’m amazed by how little people know about things to do in Pennsylvania. I’ve had so many people say to me, ‘Why doesn’t the state do this?’ The state of Pennsylvania tourism office’s job is to bring people in. Our goal with the travel fair is to keep some of those tax dollars here. We’re trying to get people

McCord’s wife, Hazel, was the daughter of one of the Bard brothers, who was part of an acrobatic troupe during the early 20th century. “The Bard family were acrobats. They were part of a circus and (performed) internationally,” noted Zerr. “We have some really great pictures of the Bards and some ads and programs from where they were performing.”

He added that John Bard, one of the three brothers who performed in the circus, later ran a chicken farm near Joanna after his retirement. One of the photos in the collection features John doing a handstand on the roof of his Joanna farmhouse.

Both the Plank and McCord collections were recognized by the Hidden Collections Initiative for Pennsylvania Small Archival Repositories, a project of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania that aims to highlight collections held by private nonprofit organizations in the five-county region of Philadelphia.

Also at the open house will be a display about local businesses that have had the same owners or the same location for more than 40 years, as well as a collection of Native American artifacts found at a farm near Morgantown.

Offered for sale will be a book titled “The Morgantown Quilt,” which

tells the story of the one-of-a-kind Morgantown quilt, with 32 squares, that was created by volunteers from the former Morgantown-Caernarvon Historical Society, which later became the TCHS. The quilt, which took 18 months to embroider and quilt, was completed in 1974.

The book, which was researched, written and assembled by volunteers from TCHS and HCVHA, features color photos that show each embroidered square depicting local historical sites; photos, drawings or paintings of those sites; and information on each site depicted. The book also contains as biographies of the embroiderers, who were all women who lived in the vicinity of Morgantown in the early 1970s.

More than 40 exhibitors will be represented at the PA Family Travel Fair, including visitor’s bureaus, museums, state parks, amusement parks, historical sites and Keystone State destinations. The low-pressure, laid-back atmosphere is enhanced by food trucks, live shows, giveaways, face painting and balloon artists.

In addition to substantial giveaway drawings from exhibitors, Where & When Pennsylvania will be giving away a Potter-Tioga getaway for four. The grand prize includes four nights of lodging at the Penn Wells Lodge; passes to museums, attractions, and tours; food vouchers; and more.

“We cater to our exhibitors,” said Royal. “They’re handing out free information. The cool thing is you get to talk to someone. You get first-hand knowledge and advice from someone who knows. When you’re there, it’s a lot of fun because we involve the kids.”

According to Royal, Pennsylvania is a unique travel destination.

“You can’t really compare it to other states,” said Royal. “The country was born in Pennsylvania. It all started in Philadelphia, and at one point, Pittsburgh was the wild west. So much has happened here. There’s so much history, and there’s so much fun.”

The PA Family Travel Fair was started in 2018 as a way to meet a need for affordable family vacations. Since then, the need for recreation or for family togetherness hasn’t changed. In fact, if anything,

“Way too many of us are leaving vacation days on the table at the end of the year,” said Royal. “(Family vacations are) a time when we can connect. We encourage families to spend time together and disconnect from technology. There are a lot of fun things to do with the family, and it doesn’t have to be expensive. Or you can make it a history trip.”

YMCA posts teen camps

The YMCA of Greater Brandywine (YGBW) will offer three new summer camps focused on supporting the unique needs of teens as they grow and develop. The new camps are Leaders in Training, Counselors in Training, and Teen Trek. Teen Trek features field trips to escape rooms, amusement parks, sports arenas, and more.

The camps serve youths ages 11 to 15, with age groups varying slightly by camp. Leaders in Training is suitable for middle-schoolers, and Counselors in Training is geared for high-schoolers. Teen Trek is appropriate for both age groups.

For more information, visit https://ymcagbw.org/blog/sup porting-independence-for-teens.

YGBW’s support for teens does not end when the summer does.

Earlier this year, the organization announced a $1.4 million investment that will be directed, in part, to support the development of teen programming. During the 2024-25 school year, YGBW plans to pilot Y Achievers at the Coatesville and Jennersville branches. Y Achievers

ing demonstration farm operated by the Chester County Facilities Department and the Parks Preservation Department, is located at 860 Springton Road, Glenmoore. For more information, call the park at 610-344-5656 or visit www .chesco.org/2307/Sheep-Wool.

will support teens of color, helping them to set and pursue educational and career goals.

This fall, YGBW will also introduce a revised version of the 7th Grade Initiative at the Coatesville, Jennersville and Upper Main Line branches. The program offers a free membership to local seventh-graders so they can discover their passions and develop healthy habits through exercise, mentorship, volunteerism, and more.

Daniel Boone Homestead to host story times

The Daniel Boone Homestead Associates (DBHA) will host the second year of preschool history story times on the first Friday of every month at 11 a.m., with the exception of May, when the event will take place on the second Friday.
