Playing pickleball in Parkesburg
Community invited to Coffee Klatch Meetups
BY FRANCINE FULTON
“It came about just because so many people communicate on social media. ... My thought was if people actually met and knew other people, they might be kinder and also find their people,” said Kathi Rendall when explaining how the Parkesburg Coffee Klatch Meetups began.
“Through the process, I learned that people are
very hungry for in-face meetings.”
Coffee Klatch Meetups began in March and are held every other week at Parkesburg-area businesses. The most recent event took place at Poured Out Café on July 3. The next Coffee Klatch gathering will be held on Wednesday, July 17, at 11 a.m. at Gabe’s Pizza Place, 428 W. First Ave., Parkesburg.

As pickleball becomes increasingly popular throughout the United States, the sport, which combines elements of tennis, badminton and pingpong, is also a hit among residents of Parkesburg.
A group of pickleball players, led by local dentist Amy Wilde, offers organized play on weekday mornings and evenings at the tennis courts located in Parkesburg’s Minch Park, 111 West St.
The Parkesburg Pickleball group got organized after playing informally on the park’s tennis courts for several years. “We put some pickleball lines in and some of us were playing pickup (games),” said Wilde, who has been playing pickleball for 15 years. “It started picking up, more and more people found out about it, and it go so big, we got organized.”
The group plays on Mondays through Fridays from 8:30 to
11 a.m. and in the evenings on Mondays through Thursdays. “We play evenings from 5:30 to 9 or 9:30 p.m. now that we have lights,” said Wilde, noting that beginner lessons are scheduled for select evenings. “We will have organized play and I will take one or two nets and do the lessons while they are playing.”
She said that many people prefer pickleball over tennis, including senior citizens. Parkesburg Pickleball’s oldest player is 82. “The court is a lot smaller, and the net is a little bit lower,” Wilde explained. “So, there is not as much running (as tennis). It’s a lot more getting up to the pickleball line and finessing the ball. It’s about position over power.”
“Tennis is a lot of taking your (racket) back, and for (pickleball) you want to keep your paddle in front of you,” she added. “You don’t want to be doing a lot of big swings.”
Games are usually played to 11 points. “There is a two-bounce

Youths who reside in Chester County are invited to take part in a student art competition being presented by the Chester County’s Sheriff’s Office. As part of the contest, themed “Law Enforcement in the Community,” students in kindergarten through grade 12 are invited to create an original piece of art to show their appreciation for law enforcement.
According to the rules of the first-time competition, students may use pencil, ink, markers,
colored pencils or paint to create their work. The three winners, which will be determined by a panel of judges from the department, will receive a certificate of recognition, a photo with Chester County sheriff Kevin D. Dykes and a tour of his office, as well as a gift basket filled with art supplies.
The idea for the contest came from Noah Stribrny, who was named command staff liaison of the sheriff’s office in May. As part of the newly created position, Stribrny’s job includes public outreach.
People of all ages gather to play organized pickleball games at the courts in Minch Park.
The group gathered on July 3 at Poured Out Café.

Display to showcase local artists
BY FRANCINE FULTON
Artwork of varying colors, subjects and themes is currently on display at the Oxford Arts Alliance (OxAA) - and all of it was created by OxAA members.
he annual Oxford Arts Alliance members’ exhibition, which opened on July 5, will be on view on Fridays and Saturdays through July 26. The gallery is open on Fridays from 3 to 7 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Admission is free and open to the public.
Visitors can expect to see at least 40 pieces of artwork in many mediums, including oils, acrylics and watercolors. “Most of them are paintings, but not all,” said Cheryl Gross of Kirkwood, who has been a board member of the OxAA since 2008. “We have sculpture, and I did a collage.”
Gross’ mixed-media collage, titled “Never Enough,” is a 3D piece of art that features jewelry, watches, seashells and photographs. “It probably has two to three dozen watch faces on it. All are old; some are antique,” said Gross. “It was a lot of fun to do.”
Gross, who is a jewelry designer, utilized items from her inventory to create the work. “When I was cleaning out my workroom, I came across all of these watches,” she shared. “That is where
I got the idea of ‘never enough time’ to do these things.”
Each work in the members’ show is accompanied by its title, an explanation of what medium was used and if it is for sale or not.
The proceeds from art sales during the show are divided between the OxAA and the participating artist.
According to www .oxfordart.org, the mission statement of the organization is to “create opportunities to engage with music and art through education and experiences that are accessible to all.”
“We (promote) art and music,” explained Gross. “We have art camps, music lessons and art lessons, mostly for children. We have a new show in the gallery every first Friday of the month.”
The art exhibits coincide with the First Friday events that are held in Oxford from May through December. “Oxford Main Street coordinates everything that goes on with vendors and things for kids. They shut down the main area in town to traffic,” she said. “We have the First Friday (exhibits) open to the general public.”
The OxAA building is easy for visitors to locate because it has large windows in front where artwork is displayed. “The building used to be a men’s clothier, and (people) see the nice, big windows. It’s not a bare storefront. It’s eye-catching.”
OxAA membership is open to all; it is not necessary to be a resident of Oxford or an artist to join. Members come from Chester and Lancaster
counties. “There are different levels of membership that people can choose from,” Gross noted. For example, youth memberships are available for people under age 25, and family memberships are also available. Members receive discounts on programming.
Those who choose the artist membership have their work promoted and are eligible to exhibit in the annual members’ exhibition in July.
Gross hopes that those who have never visited OxAA will be pleased at the variety of artwork on view during the members’ show, which is being sponsored by Elk Creek Veterinary Services in Oxford. “We are sort of a hidden gem. We want people to know we are here. ... They will like what they see,” Gross added. “We have changed a lot over the years and are getting more into servicing the community. We are very excited about the future. (We want) more people to know (about us), to see the show and spread the word.”
The Oxford Arts Alliance is located at 38 S. Third St., Oxford. The building is wheelchair accessible. For more information, visit the previously mentioned website or www.facebook .com/OxfordArtsAlliance.

Art contest
“One of our priorities is to increase community engagement,” he said. “We thought (the contest) would be a good way to increase engagement with youth since school is out and (deputies from the sheriff’s department) can’t get into the schools to interact with the students during the summer.”
For the upcoming contest, Stribrny said that students can use their own creativity to come up with original ideas. “They can (portray) a sheriff deputy, a police officer or a detective, or they could (portray) a police officer helping someone cross the street,” he stated.
“It’s entirely up to the students. We want to give them that option to be as creative as possible.”
“(I’m sure) we will get a lot of good drawings; there are a lot of talented students out there,” he added.
Stribrny said the contest is the first step in his goal to develop strong relationships between law enforcement and the community, particularly youths. “Once the school year is back up, we want to get in as many schools as possible, do workshops and interact with youths,” he stated. “It’s a great opportunity. As a former schoolteacher, it’s a personal thing for me to get
deputies in the schools as much as possible.”
Other efforts include holding “Cupcakes with Cops,” where officers would meet the public and be available to answer questions and provide information. The next scheduled event will be in August in West Chester with members of the West Chester Borough Police Department. “We are trying to show that law enforcement (personnel) can be personable,” Stribrny noted. “Sometimes the first interaction may not be positive if you get pulled over ... but we are not always there to be the bad guy.”

Tips for cleaning a grill
Many people around the globe have a passion for grilling. Cooking over an open flame imparts a unique flavor to a variety of foods, and that profile can be augmented with marinades, wood chips, and more.
Although many people grill throughout the year, this particular method of cooking is most popular in summer, when welcoming temperatures compel cooks to prepare meals outdoors. As grilling season kicks into high gear, grill masters can embrace the following strategies to ensure their grills remain clean.
A light coating of oil brushed onto the grill grates prior to cooking can reduce the likelihood that food sticks to them during cooking. Food stuck to a grill can be difficult to remove, but the oil can reduce the likelihood that ground beef from burgers or chicken breasts will stick to the cooking surface. Cooks should clean the grill after each use. Once food is cooked, people’s thoughts tend to immediately shift to eating, but cleaning a grill immediately after each use can make it easier to remove
participate, and attendees may order food from the menu if they choose. Rendall noted that the group started with six or seven people in attendance, whom she invited to participate via Facebook. “I didn’t even know if this would work or if anyone would come, but people seem to really like it,” she said. “It’s a different group of people every time. The most that we have had was 17 or 18, which is a lot.”
Attendees are asked to introduce themselves, but there is no set program. People can discuss topics of their choice, but it is recommended that controversial issues or politics be avoided.
“Everyone introduces themselves and (about)
halfway through, I asked certain people to move into another (seating) area to get to know other people and everyone seems fine with that,” Rendall stated, noting that men and women of all ages are welcome. “It has tended, due to the time of day, to be an older group because other people are at work. We did have a couple of evening (meetups) at SpringHouse (Spirits) and at Rocco & Anna’s (Ristorante).”
In addition to the Wednesday meetings, Rendall plans to host Saturday and weeknight gatherings. Events will be posted on the group’s Facebook page. She also encourages other attendees to schedule meetups of their own.

come from as far as Leola, Chester Springs and Oxford. I don’t just target Parkesburg,” she noted. “That was initially the idea, but (I thought), ‘Why not make it bigger? Basically it’s (for people in) Chester County and parts of Lancaster County.”
She said that the meetings are very informal and designed as a way for people to make new friends. “I think that people are really hungry for connections. We also do not discuss politics, religion or business. It’s not a business meeting,” Rendall added. “The idea is to get to know people.”

Sheriff’s Office boosts security measures
The Chester County Sheriff’s Office has boosted its security measures to strengthen the safety and security of county facilities, courts, and the community.
Six individuals from the Chester County Sheriff’s Office were recently promoted, taking their ceremonial oath in Courtroom 1 of the County’s Justice Center. Those promoted include Daniel Clifton, Martin Lawson, and Robert Burkley, who moved from corporal to the rank of sergeant. Deputies Deborah Gibney, Deborah Scavello, and Kevin Griffin are now corporals. In addition to the these
promotions, the Sheriff’s Office has strengthened and expanded its security team, promoting Jose Mestre, James Harris, and Samantha Gomez from security officer I to security officer II and welcoming seven new security officers to reinforce safety measures.
Under the leadership of Sheriff Kevin Dykes, the Chester County Sheriff’s Office has implemented several changes to increase security operations and enhance staffing levels.
To add to the security efforts, the Sheriff’s Office has partnered with a
vendor security company that has deployed seven security officers under the sheriff’s command to provide supplemental security services.
The Chester County Sheriff’s Office is focused on a comprehensive overhaul, which includes the creation of new security positions; revitalizing the honor guard unit, fugitive apprehension unit, and wheels unit; implementing physical fitness programs to boost deputy well-being; and community outreach.
In addition, the Sheriff’s Office has launched an aggressive recruitment
campaign with three deputy candidates set to graduate from the academy in June, two additional deputies recently hired, and four new deputy candidates scheduled to begin their training at the police academy in July. More deputy candidates are also being interviewed to fill additional spots.
Also, the Sheriff’s Office plans to deputize two members of the Chester County Prison staff to serve as K-9 handlers, creating a partnership to expand K-9 services across the county, including the enhancement of the current unit.
Promotions were awarded to (back, from left) Sgt. Daniel Clifton, Sgt. Martin Lawson, Cpl. Kevin Griffin, Cpl. Deborah Gibney, Sgt. Robert Burkley, Cpl. Deborah Scavello. They were congratulated by (front) Lt. Janis Pickell, Chief Jason W. Suydam, Sheriff Kevin D. Dykes, and Lt. Adam Sibley.

Pastor Sam Masteller welcomes attendees.
In honor of National Water Safety Month, the YMCA of Greater Brandywine (YGBW) recently partnered with LCH Health and Community Services to offer a bilingual water safety program for adults. The program was held in the indoor pool at the Jennersville branch, with a dry land component held in LCH’s offices in West Grove.
The program was inspired by and funded by Madelyn DiBonaventura, a rising junior at Villa Maria Academy who is passionate about water safety and swims competitively. She contacted Laura Milazzo Mackiewicz, director of volunteer and civic engagement, with her idea, and YGBW staff members brought it to fruition.
The donations raised by DiBonaventura were used to expand the YGBW’s Safety
Around Water program to adults. The program, which formerly only served children, teaches basic, life-saving water safety skills. It is free to participants as it is funded by donations to the organization’s annual campaign.
With DiBonaventura’s pledge of $1,000 to cover the
cost of the program, YGBW partnered with the pediatric office of LCH Health and Community Services, a federally qualified health center, to connect with parents who were interested in the program. On behalf of the Y, LCH program coordinator Monica Mata-Lopez recruited 20 patients to participate.
The program included a water safety information session at LCH’s offices with instruction offered in both English and Spanish. Participants then traveled to the Jennersville YMCA for instruction in the pool. The program addressed basic swimming and survival skills to help people keep themselves and their families safe
in and around water.
YGBW’s annual campaign is underway. All donations benefit the Chester County community, enabling the Y to grant need-based scholarships for services like swim lessons, child care, and summer camp. Last year, YGBW granted $2.2 million in financial assistance to more than 11,000 members of the community through donations. To donate to the campaign, visit https:// ymcagbw.org/donatenow.

Grill cleaning
all the debris. Fat, grease, melted cheese, marinades, and other substances can accumulate on the grill and pose a health risk over time. Although grill masters can eat before cleaning their grills, they may want to keep the fire going until after they eat - with the vents slightly closed to reduce the heat somewhat - and then scrape food and other debris off the grill. Grates that are still warm are easier to clean, but people should use heatproof grilling gloves when cleaning warm or hot grates to reduce burn risk.
A periodic deep cleaning is advisable. Grill grates may not need a deep cleaning after each use, particularly when food is prepared for only a few people, but this step is necessary every so often, and after heavy usage during backyard barbecues. Follow the grill manufacturer’s instructions regarding cleaning the grill. Some might suggest that traditional dish soap like Palmolive is safe to use, while others might recommend particular soaps that can protect the long-term life of the grill. Cast-iron grill grates generally should not air dry, so dry off these
parts immediately after cleaning.
Cooks should use the right tools to clean the grill. Steel grill brushes are popular, but these cleaning tools can be unsafe. Steel brush bristles can break off during vigorous cleaning sessions, and they may get stuck on the grill during the cleaning process. If this happens, steel bristles can easily attach to food. The cooking experts at Epicurious note that steel brush bristles can cause throat and abdominal issues if consumed. Alternatives to steel bristle grill brushes are widely available, but grill masters should know that some, including nylon brushes, should not be applied to a grill until its grates have cooled off. People should clean all components of the grill. Grease traps, ash pans, and the interior of the grill, including its sides and the inside of lids, can be periodically cleaned to reduce grease buildup and the risk of exposure to germs.
Grilling is a wildly popular summer pastime. Ensuring grills are clean prior to cooking can make foods more flavorful and decrease the risk of illness.
Beef Summer
Field Day planned
The Pennsylvania Cattlemen’s Association will host the annual Beef Summer Field Day on Saturday, Aug. 10, at Wen-Crest Farms, 549 Schaeffer Road, Lebanon, to help beef producers learn more about their industry. Arrival and registration will run from 8 to 8:30 a.m., and the last seminar will begin at 1 p.m.
The field day will begin with a presentation by Ron Gill, professor and extension livestock specialist from Texas A&M University. Gill, who will speak on “Stockmanship and Stewardship,” has won multiple awards in the beef industry education sector and specializes in low-stress livestock handling.
Next on the docket will be Derrell Peele from Oklahoma State University, who will give the presentation “Cattle Markets and Outlook.” An agricultural economics professor and extension specialist for livestock marketing, Peele works in all areas of livestock production economics and marketing for all beef cattle production sectors. Additionally, he
works in the area of international cattle and beef trade and has particular expertise in the Mexican cattle and beef industry.
Several beef-related organizations will give updates at lunch, including a Washington, D.C., update from the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA).
After lunch, Dr. Mitch Blanding, director of beef technical services with Zoetis, will discuss “Managing Cattle Health in High Markets.” A native of Kansas, Blanding holds a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree and a Master of Science in ruminant nutrition/physiology.
Before joining Zoetis in 2003, he spent 10 years as a beef and equine practitioner in central Missouri and eastern Kansas.
The Beef Summer Field Day is sponsored by the Pennsylvania Cattlemen’s Association with support from the PA Beef Producers Working Group and NCBA.
