Octorara to present OABEST Expo

BY FRANCINE FULTON

Apetting zoo, crafters and vendors, food trucks, first responder displays and live entertainment, as well as student performances and demonstrations, are just some of that activities that will be featured during the annual Octorara Agriculture, Business, Environmental Science & Technology (OABEST) Expo. The event, which is designed to showcase the best of Octorara, will take place on Saturday, May 18, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on the school grounds at Octorara Junior-Senior High School, 228 Highland Road, Atglen. Members of the Octorara Area Career and Technical Education Programs (OACTEP) student advisory board are helping to organize the event along with Mark Peticca, Octorara’s director of career and technical education. Peticca noted that between

1,000 and 1,500 people attend the event over the course of the day.

“It’s open to the entire community,” he said. “We will have a Kids Zone, where they will have a lot of activities like an (inflatable) ax throwing station, and a community yard sale.

We will have more than 60 vendors coming this year, including (people) representing their companies, arts and crafts vendors and a lot of food vendors.”

Each area of study in the OACTEP will be represented at the event, including Business, Marketing and Entrepreneurship; Graphic Design and Illustration; Culinary; Home Security and Protective Service Academy; Diversified Occupations’ Woodworking Technology; and Child Care Education.

“We will have a lathe, and we will be making crosses and cutting boards,” noted Johan Torres, a student in the Woodworking Technology program. Photos of the cutting boards can be found

on the newly created OABEST Expo Instagram page.

“We will be doing something with a robot. We might be racing CO2 cars,” noted Gavin Boyer, a student in the Engineering and Drafting Technology program, explaining that CO2 cars are miniature race cars that are propelled by a carbon dioxide cartridge.

“We are running a milkshake truck alongside a petting zoo,” added Daniel Rowe, a student in the Animal and Plant Science Technology program.

Home Security and Protective Service Academy students will be organizing the displays by local first responders, and students in the Child Care Education program will present children’s crafts and pages for kids to color.

Also featured will be a dunk tank, where district administrators will volunteer to get dunked.

For the yard sale, residents of the Octorara Area School District

Chazak Rescue provides training for international first responders

BY FRANCINE FULTON

“People coming in all have a direct calling to help rescue people and help people in need,” said public relations director Troy Bouffard, when describing those who choose to be a part of Chazak Rescue, a nonprofit

international rescue and relief organization. “(We get) a mix of people who are ready for action and really enjoy trying new things and being challenged in body, soul and spirit.”

Chazak, pronounced “khawzawk,” is a Hebrew word that denotes strength and courage.

OWA takes the creek to the streets

BY FRANCINE FULTON

Members of the Octoraro Watershed Association (OWA) took the organization’s mission of educating the public about the Octorara Creek on the road by taking part in Oxford’s First Friday program.

During the event, OWA members displayed a live touch tank in which visitors could view a sampling of macroinvertebrates that were found in the creek. This year’s display included crayfish, crane fly larvae, hellgrammites,

caddisfly cases and dragonfly nymphs. In addition, attendees were able to make rubbings of raised paper images of other types of macroinvertebrates.

The samples were collected by OWA president Chotty Sprenkle several days before the event. “I took a small net and went into the Octorara Creek and some of the feeder streams, lifted up rocks and collected them,” she stated. “I like to get a good quantity (to display).” She added that the creatures were returned to the creek after the First Friday event.

Chazak Rescue

The goal of the Gap-based organization, which formed in 2021, is to “develop, train and mobilize specialized teams to bring leadership, humanitarian aid and hope to high-risk crisis areas.”

Since its formation, cadet teams have visited Greece, where they worked in a refugee camp, and Uganda, where they spent time interacting with children from a mission home, playing soccer with them and taking part in a birthday celebration.

“The trip to Africa was to establish an operating base,” Bouffard explained. “We were not rescuing people there; we were there to establish connections with locals so that we would be well-received in the future.”

The first operational deployment by Chazak Rescue guardians, which is what cadets are called when they have graduated from the program, was to Ukraine in December of 2023. While there, the team helped distribute aid, including food, water and firewood, to villagers near the front lines and helped a local church restore its partially destroyed building.

Bouffard noted that cadets go through a rigorous training process, which includes in-classroom training and scenario training in outdoor locations. Team members earn a variety of certifications, including Swiftwater and Flood Rescue Technician, Prehospital Trauma Life Support for First Responders, Con -

fined Space Rescue Operator and Advanced Search and Rescue (SAR) with SARTECH certification.

The first year of basic training includes seven weeks in a wilderness location with limited interaction with friends and family. “We train in-classroom and do scenario training at Camp Andrews, south of Lancaster city,” Bouffard pointed out. “There are 100 total people involved in Chazak, and they are scattered across the United Sates helping us out - third-party instructors and trainers - the best of the best in search and rescue.”

Part of the training takes place in the Sawtooth Mountain Range in Idaho. “We send (cadets) there in the middle of summer in their second year of training and they do highaltitude scenarios like rock climbing and cliff rescue, and they learn to live out

of their backpacks in survival mode,” said Bouffard, noting that these types of experiences prepare cadets for missions in hard-toreach places that can only be accessed by hiking through rugged terrain or via helicopter.

Bouffard noted that some people compare Chazak Rescue to joining the military, since some of the physical training is based on the same regimen utilized by the Marine Corps. “On the whole humanitarian aid spectrum, we are close (to the military), but we won’t resist with deadly force,” he said, noting that cadets and guardians are not armed. “Our goal is to rescue and give people medical aid.”

He added that because the Chazak teams are highly specialized, they can provide assistance immediately upon arrival to natural disasters or other emergencies without a need for training or extensive orientation. “When we do show up, we have a really good set of tools in our toolbox,” said Bouffard. “It allows us to know exactly what we need to do. It brings leaders to a humanitarian crisis rather than volunteers.”

For more information about Chazak or to apply for the program, visit www .chazakrescue.org. Those with questions may email info@chazakrescue.org.

Chazak Rescue cadets take part in a simulated rescue in the Sawtooth Mountain Range in Idaho.

Railroad Museum posts summer camps

To learn more about the museum, call 717687-8628 or visit www.rr museumpa.org.

Sprenkle explained that a stream’s quality is determined by the creatures that can be found in the water. “Macroinvertebrates are large insects without backbones, and the presence or absence of certain species are water pollution indicators,” she explained. “Some of the macroinvertebrates will live in pollution-tolerant water. Others will live in water that is not tolerant to pollution. By identifying the different macroinvertebrates, you can tell if you have high, medium or low water quality.”

For example, she noted, a leech will live in low-quality water because leeches are pollution tolerant. “If you have caddisflies, mayflies or stoneflies, you have good water quality because they

are pollution intolerant,” Sprenkle added.

The mission of the OWA is to “restore and protect the natural resources of the scenic Octoraro Creek.”

In addition to community events, OWA members take part in cleanup activities and stream studies. The organization also holds an annual nature photography contest and awards an environmental scholarship to an Octorara Junior-Senior High School student.

For more details, including volunteer opportunities and membership information, visit www .theowa.net. More information is also available at www.facebook.com/ OctoraroWatershed Association. Those with questions may email octorarowa@gmail.com.

Chester County earns SolSmart gold recognition

Chester County Government has received national gold level SolSmart recognition for encouraging the growth of clean, affordable solar energy at the local level. As a SolSmart gold designee, Chester County has adopted nationally recognized best practices to advance solar market growth. The county worked with SolSmart’s no-cost technical assistance team to increase local knowledge of solar energy so the entire community can benefit.

To achieve SolSmart gold designation, Chester County led numerous outreach programs and provided solar-related technical assistance to Chester County municipalities. Key activities included providing training on best practices for

permitting and inspecting solar energy systems, providing zoning ordinance guidance to municipalities for regulating accessory use and grid-scale solar, creating a Solar Power Guide - available at www .chescoplanning.org/ UandI/SolarPowerGuide/ Introduction.cfm - to help municipalities understand the land use considerations for grid-scale solar power, and creating a solar webpage for homeowners, businesses, and municipalities interested in going solar. This website may be accessed at www .chescoplanning.org/Envi ronmental/CleanEnergy/ SolarPower.cfm.

Chester County’s solar webpage also includes an interactive map showing solar installations across the county. Chester County’s

Department of Community Development also revised its Community Revitalization Program, a funding program open to the 15 boroughs and the City of Coatesville for infrastructure improvements, to include solar energy systems as an eligible use of grant funds, in support of the county’s Climate Action Plan.

The goal of the Chester County Climate Action Plan is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Chester County by 80% of 2005 levels by 2050.

Chester County’s Environmental and Energy Advisory Board played a key role in supporting the county’s SolSmart designation through hosting public programs related to solar power, including

a Solar Adopter’s Conference this past January that was attended by more than 100 businesses, nonprofits, and municipalities interested in pursuing solar power. The county’s sustainability director, Rachael Griffith, was also a key player in the solar efforts.

Local governments achieve SolSmart designation by meeting established criteria that are based on national best practices for building solar-friendly communities. The SolSmart team of experts offers free technical assistance and

resources to help communities put these practices into action. Those that meet the criteria are designated SolSmart platinum, gold, silver, or bronze. A full list of criteria met for this designation can be found at https://solsmart.org/ designee/chester-county.

Three Chester County municipalities have also obtained SolSmart designation: East Goshen Township, silver; Kennett Square Borough, bronze; and Tredyffrin Township, bronze.

SolSmart is led by the Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC) and

the International City/ County Management Association (ICMA). It is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office. More than 500 cities, towns, counties, and regional organizations have achieved SolSmart designation since the program launched in 2016. Any city, town, county, or regional organization is eligible to join the program. To learn more, visit www .solsmart.org.
