A message from the Chamber President Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce
Hello to my fellow Oxfordians!
Spring greetings from the Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce! I must admit that when I am tasked with writing this letter with each edition of the Oxfordian, I am sometimes at a loss for words. How many ways can you possibly be a cheerleader for our small town and surrounding communities that comprise our chamber members? I’ll tell you how – as a member of the community, we all support the businesses that constantly support us.
Springtime brings a whole sense of
newness, calm and fresh starts. It also brings the usual sounds of birds chirping, lawnmowers running, children playing outside and front porch conversations beginning a new. It’s a new season of rekindling relationships that winter seems to send into slight hibernation. I’m not talking about the relationship with your next-door neighbor. I’m talking about the relationship we have with our local businesses that keep Oxford moving forward. This was an irregular winter for us – frigid temperatures, snow, ice, sleet,
rain – you name it, we got it. Now that winter is ending and spring is in the air, we have an opportunity to get back into those businesses and build relationships once again.
This year, we have several new businesses in our fold as can be seen by the big directory at the back of this edition of the Oxfordian. I am truly hopeful that many of you will take the time to look at our member businesses. So many of them sponsor your child’s soccer team, basketball team, musical, downtown
events, and more. Many will be sponsoring Movies in the Park again this year as well as our Everyday Hero 5k (and 10k this year!). It’s a privilege for these businesses to sponsor those events and as customers, it should be our privilege to patronize those who enable the traditions to continue in our quaint town.
This edition of the Oxfordian brings you the recipients of our Citizen of the Year, Business of the Year and Organization of the Year! Congratulate these very worthy folks when you see them. Their
contribution to the community is what garnered their recognition this year and they are all superstars! We look forward to seeing you at our events this spring and summer and in our businesses. It truly takes a village and this in one village I am proud to be part of.
With Spring in mind, Lady Bird Johnson once said, “Where flowers bloom, so does hope.”
Yours in Hope,
Dennis McCartney OACC President

Nick Sandoval

There are some people who just exude energy, a real-life energizer bunny. They channel that energy and share it with those closest to them, their profession and their community. Nick Sandoval was not born and raised here. He actually grew up in California. In 2021 he, his wife Jen and their two children, Alana and John moved to Oxford from Brookhaven in Delaware County. Nick’s career as a mortgage specialist with several national banks led him to leave the “big lender” model and share his talents with a smaller more community focused model. An ideal fit, as Nick is a natural networker. “The Oxford community is amazing. They have welcomed and supported me in building meaningful relationships. The people of Oxford respect hard work, honesty and service” Nick has said. It is not just that Nick has helped locals achieve homeownership with integrity and compassion, but he lights up when he talks about helping others.
Nick serves on the board of the Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce and is an integral part of planning and executing the Everyday Hero 5K Run. He is chair of the Hunger Help Walk committee of the Oxford Area Civic Association. He volunteers at the Neighborhood Services Center Food Pantry, plays basketball at the Lighthouse Youth Center, coaches Oxford Youth Basketball and this year coached the Penns Grove girls basketball team. An avid runner himself, he raises money for various non profit organizations through his 4x4x4 running initiative where he runs 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours! He lends a hand at set up and break down for events in town. For Nick, running and working out are as much for your head as your body. He is a champion for mental health, healthy living and giving back to your community. On the morning of the Oxford Fire in 2023, Nick arrived at the Chamber office and immediately started unloading pallets of water for the first responders. “Nick is one of those people that you are just blessed they are in your life. He is a cheerleader and champion for causes near and dear to him” says Christine Grove of the Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce “He lends his time and talents to so many in our community. If you need a pick me up – literally or figuratively , Nick is your guy.”
Leading a life of service does not go unnoticed. The example he sets for his children, the young people he coaches, the colleagues he mentors, the organizations he impacts and the community he gives back to is the lasting legacy of Nick Sandoval.

Beiler-Campbell Realtors:
50 Years of Service and Community Commitment
For over 50 years, Beiler-Campbell Realtors has been a local cornerstone, helping people achieve the dream of homeownership. Founded in the early 1970s by Ben Beiler along Route 1 in Avondale, the company has since expanded, adding offices in Longwood, Oxford, and Quarryville. Committed to offering a full umbrella of services, they’ve added Anvil Land Transfer, Delaware Valley Financial Mortgage, and specialized divisions for New Homes, Commercial Properties, Farms, and Auctions. The key to Beiler-Campbell’s success lies in its people. “We’ve been blessed with individuals who have a heart to serve their clients and community with excellence,” said Brian Campbell. Their professionalism, knowledge, and integrity define every transaction. The management team and ownership are long-time Chester, Delaware, and Lancaster County residents. “As a locally
owned company, we have a heightened responsibility to do business in a way that benefits our entire community,” said Anthony Beiler.
Service has been at the company’s core
from the start, inspired by Ben Beiler’s spirit of giving back. In addition to local sponsorships, the company holds annual charity events: the Day of Service, where they help homeowners in need with lawn

care, cleaning, and repairs, and the Charity Golf Tournament, which raises upwards of $50,000 annually for local nonprofits. Individuals at Beiler-Campbell also actively volunteer at local nonprofits, community organizations, and churches. Through fluctuations in the housing market, Beiler-Campbell has remained a trusted name, providing expert guidance to clients making one of the biggest purchases of their lives. This trust has led to long-term relationships, with referrals and repeat clients being a leading source of business. Many of the company’s 80+ agents have been with the company for over 10, 30, and even 40 years, a testament to the strength of its culture.
The foundation set by Ben Beiler, nurtured by today’s Management Team and owners, Brian Campbell, Anthony Beiler, and Christian Campbell, continues to flourish through the dedication of the entire Beiler-
Campbell team. Their vision—Helping everyone find “HOME”—remains strong, guided by their core values of steadfast integrity, attentive service, community
focus, generational trust, and Christian ethics. Beiler-Campbell is more than a real estate company; it is a trusted partner and a devoted community member.

New London Counseling Center
Impactful. Transformative. Restorative. Accessible.
By Christine Grove Contributing Writer
Since April 2019, New London Counseling Center has provided a much needed spotlight on normalizing and providing access to mental health in our community. What began as the vision of the pastoral staff at Christian Life Center to financially support a counseling center in our area, has grown to New London Counseling Center’s main office in New London and services in the Avon Grove School District, The Garage Youth Center in Kennett and Avondale and The Lighthouse Youth Center in Oxford. Although not affiliated with the Christian Life Center, they provided the incubator for the amazing organization that exists today. With a mission to make mental health care accessible to everyone, no one is turned away for financial reasons. They offer a generous sliding scale fee structure based on household income and number of dependents. To date, no individual seeking therapy has been turned away because of financial barriers.
Providing individual, group and family therapy is the core of New London Counseling Center but their staff is out and about as well. Normalizing mental health means bringing programming and workshops to the community. NLCC can
also be seen at community events including the Oxford Halloween Parade, Penn Township Days and Oxford First Fridays. The numbers are impressive. Since opening in 2019, NLCC has seen over 1,300 clients in their office with 13,630 sessions. Since starting their partnerships with The Garage they have seen 65 students and in the Avon Grove school district, over 200 students for a total of 2,586 sessions. They currently have 3 full time therapists assigned to Avon Grove School District. New partnerships with The Lighthouse, local churches and a Health Minds, Healthy Workplace series with the Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce are providing
additional resources in the community. The true impact is felt by their clients. “NLCC helped me when I was in a very desperate time and situation. When no one else would. Just having someone care and listen to me brought back hope and clarity that my daughter and I were going to be okay. Therapy has been a wonderful learning experience and is helping in so many ways. Many blessings to them and thank you for everything. Words alone can’t express how grateful I am”.
With integrity, humility and authenticity, NLCC is rooted in the values of compassion, commitment to quality care, collaboration and community.
The Jawnery: A Taste of Creativity and Community
By Jim Coarse
Contributing Writer
The Jawnery is more than just a bakery—it’s a creative venture fueled by passion, community, and the pursuit of pure, high-quality baked goods. Cassidy Taylor’s dream took off in 2022, and by February 2023, she signed a lease, giving her just two months to plan, practice, and execute before going live— marking the start of a delicious journey. At the heart of it all is a mother-daughter duo: Cassidy, the founder, a culinary artist with a knack for innovation, and her mother, Sara, the mastermind behind the business’s signature pie fillings, howlers, and fruit-forward creations. Born out of a lifelong love for creativity— whether through photography, art, or baking—The
Jawnery is a true reflection of Cassidy’s culinary passion. Her training at Cook Street Culinary School in Denver, CO, provided the technical foundation and freedom to experiment, ultimately inspiring a shift from marketing to a hands-on, transparent approach to food. Rejecting artificial flavors and preservatives, The Jawnery is committed to using as many local ingredients as possible, ensuring that every bite is pure, delicious, and unmistakably “Jawnery.” Famous for their croissants—whether plain, asiago, chocolate, or the indulgent morning bun—the bakery also keeps customers on their toes with a rotating selection of baked goods. Beyond their signature staples of bread, biscuits, and howlers, customer feedback plays a huge role in their evolving menu.
Community has been the backbone of The Jawnery’s success. Their journey began at the Oxford Farmer’s Market, where they built strong relationships with customers and fellow business owners. This local
support has driven their growth, earning them recognition through the Chamber’s Business Improvement Grant. Christine Grove and the broader Oxford community have been instrumental in their expansion, and partnerships—like their collaboration with Moore Meats to repurpose food waste—exemplify their commitment to sustainability.
Looking ahead, The Jawnery has big plans. Their next milestone is securing a storefront, establishing deeper roots in the Oxford area, and creating a space to further expand their offerings. With a vision for growth and a deep love for their craft, they are committed to bringing even more mouthwatering creations to their loyal customers.
For a taste of The Jawnery, visit their stand at the Oxford Farmer’s Market, order online at thejawnery.com, or email hello@thejawnery.com for custom orders and delivery options. Follow them on social media or check their website’s event calendar for updates on upcoming events.

Cold Spring Farm: More Than Just a Barn—A That Feels Like Home
Photography courtesy of Cold Spring Farm
Farm:
Community Home
By: Jim Coarse, Contributing Writer
Tucked away in the rolling countryside of Chester County, Pennsylvania, Cold Spring Farm isn’t just an equestrian facility—it’s a place where riders of all ages and backgrounds come together to learn, grow, and find their second home. From the moment you step onto the farm, you’re met with warm smiles, the welcoming nickers of horses, and an unmistakable feeling that you’ve found a place where you truly belong.
Continued on Page 28
Cold Spring Farm
Continued from Page 27
Where Everyone Knows Your Name (And Your Horse’s, Too!)
At the heart of Cold Spring Farm is a closeknit community built on encouragement, friendship, and a shared love for horses. It’s a place where riders lift each other up—whether that means cheering at the rail during a lesson, helping a barn friend tack up before a show, or simply sharing stories over a post-ride cup of coffee.
Cold Spring’s owner, Cindy Gallagher, has spent years fostering an environment where both riders and horses thrive. No matter if you’re a first-time rider or a seasoned competitor, there’s a place for you here. The trainers take the time to understand each individual’s goals, working closely with students to develop confidence, skill, and most importantly, a deep bond with their equine partners.

Horses That Become Family
Ask anyone at Cold Spring about their favorite memories, and you’ll likely hear stories of special horses who left lasting impressions. From patient schoolmasters who introduce beginners to the magic of riding to talented show horses that help riders chase their dreams, each horse at the farm is treated like family. And for those searching for a forever equine partner, Cold Spring specializes in thoughtful matchmaking, ensuring horses and riders find the perfect fit.
More Than Just Lessons— A Lifestyle
While riding lessons are at the core of what Cold Spring Farm offers, the experience goes far beyond the saddle. The farm hosts summer camps where kids not only learn to ride but also build lifelong friendships and a sense
of responsibility. Birthday parties bring pure joy, with ponies dressed as “unicorns” and delighted children soaking in every moment.
And then there are the barn traditions—the holiday parties, the spontaneous trail rides, and the latenight pep talks before big competitions. It’s these little moments that turn a barn into a family.
A Place for Everyone
What makes Cold Spring Farm truly special is its ability to welcome riders from all walks of life. Whether you’re a young child taking your first trot steps, an adult rediscovering your passion for horses, or a competitive rider aiming for the show ring, there’s a place for you here. It’s a barn where you’re never just another rider—you’re part of something bigger.

For those lucky enough to be part of the Cold Spring Farm family, the experience extends far beyond riding. It’s about friendship, personal growth, and the joy of sharing your passion with others who understand it just as deeply as you do. So if you’re looking for more than just a place to ride—if you’re searching for a community that feels like home—Cold Spring Farm is waiting with open arms (and plenty of horses ready to greet you at the gate).
Borough of Oxford Community of Love Lutheran Church
Bioretention Wetland
Stormwater is rainwater or melted snow that runs off streets, parking lots, lawns, and other sites. In developed areas, impervious surfaces such as pavement and roofs prevent precipitation from naturally soaking into the ground. Instead, water runs rapidly into storm drains, drainage ditches, and eventually local waterways - carrying pollutants along the way. This runoff can cause flooding, infrastructure damage, and contaminated streams over time. Polluted stormwater also affects sources of drinking water. After decades of stormwater runoff, area streams are now impaired by pollution.
Federal and state regulatory agencies are working to address this by requiring individual municipalities to reduce the amount of stormwater they contribute to area waterways. Like other municipalities across the state, Oxford was required to develop a Pollutant Reduction Plan and then apply to PA DEP for a permit to implement projects to meet reduction requirements. We have implemented several projects in recent years. Most recently, we partnered with the Community of Love Lutheran Church to construct a bioretention wetland on Church property. Through this grant-funded initiative we are trans-
forming a section of underutilized land into green infrastructure that will both add beauty to the community and help clean our streams. This project also illustrates how municipalities and private landowners can work together to protect and help sustain natural resources. You too can help! Consider redirecting downspouts that run into the street onto lawn, a garden, planter or a rain barrel instead. Plant native trees and shrubs and replace some yard perennials with native species which soak up more water.

Furniture from the Barn: Breathing new life into old, weathered barn wood is truly an art.
By Kelly Kelly, Furniture From the Barn
For the past 18 years, husbandand-wife entrepreneurs
Kelly and Michael Kelly of Furniture From The Barn (FFTB) have perfected this craft together.
They transform treasured pieces of history into beautiful, one-of-a-kind furniture. “Our furniture has stories to tell, and so many more to be told.”
With nearly two decades of heartfelt dedication to crafting unique
pieces—and countless conversations with their customers—they now excitedly prepare for the next chapter: the launch of Gathered Home Furnishings.

Kelly and Michael’s extensive background in operating a successful construction company and real estate business—specializing in property renovation and house flipping—shaped their entrepreneurial spirit and craftsmanship as they embarked on their biggest fixer-upper yet. In 2006, they purchased an old Chester County farm, a property brimming with renovation opportunities. The furniture business was born in 2007 when Kelly and her dad pulled boards from their 1813 barn to craft their very first farmhouse table from reclaimed wood. Word of mouth quickly spread among family and friends, catching the attention of a local Kennett Square retailer, which led to a growing demand for their handcrafted tables. Their business expanded organically, starting with local Craigslist listings and an Etsy shop before transitioning to their own dedicated website showcasing custom creations. Today, they proudly serve customers not only locally but across the country.

Michael and Kelly combine their unique talents to lead Furniture From The Barn with heart and vision. Michael’s extensive construction background and natural eye for assembly bring masterful craftsmanship to every project. Kelly, a gifted designer, excels at reimagining spaces by harmoniously blending colors, textures,
and elements. Her genuine approach and ability to envision how furniture fits within a larger design context help create spaces that truly reflect each client’s style. Together, they have built more than just a furniture business—they have nurtured an environment where timeless design meets a personal touch, guiding clients to create pieces that become cherished parts
of their family stories. Each piece is meticulously crafted to be both functional and beautiful, custom-fitted to the customer’s space. What sets their work apart are their distinctive artisanal finishing techniques. Many customers return time and again to discover the perfect furniture for their homes.

The team at FFTB includes Kelly’s assistant, Reenie, who manages the Customer Management System. An artist herself, Reenie provides invaluable guidance to customers on finish colors and hardware choices. Patty, another talented artist, oversees most of the furniture painting, while Diego works closely with builders daily. When a custom piece arrives in the finishing shop, it embarks on a personalized journey with the client. The team shares photos or videos of the unfinished piece and welcomes images of the client’s space— especially flooring—to ensure a beautifully complementary finish. Their signature pieces—farmhouse tables, hall trees, and hutches—exemplify a commitment to quality and exquisite artisan furniture. In addition, they have recently introduced cutting boards made of solid wood, allowing customers to say goodbye to microplastics and upgrade to a healthier kitchen solution. As Kelly and Michael continue their jour-
ney with Furniture From The Barn, they are thrilled about the upcoming launch of Gathered Home Furnishings. This thoughtfully curated collection brings together everything they’ve learned about crafting beautiful, functional pieces that elevate any living space—be it traditional, modern,
coastal, or transitional. Keep an eye out for more updates, and don’t forget to explore their stunning range of furniture by visiting www.furniturefromthebarn.com. Showroom visits by appointment only.

Outback Trading Company: Allie King-Schumacher
Story and Photo by Jim Coarse, Moonloop Photography
For Allie King-Schumacher, Outback Trading Company isn’t just a business—it’s a family legacy built on adventure, innovation, and a love for the outdoors. Founded by her father, Wilson King, Outback Trading Co. was inspired by his travels in Australia, bringing durable, rugged, and stylish outdoor apparel to the U.S. Now, Allie is leading the brand into an exciting new era.
A history enthusiast with a passion for marketing, Allie pursued her own career path before joining the family business. Gaining hands-on experience at various companies, she refined her skills in
branding, customer engagement, and digital strategy. When the opportunity arose to return home and contribute to Outback, she jumped at the chance. Starting in a small role, she quickly proved her value by spearheading a digital transformation. Leveraging social media and influencer collaborations, she expanded Outback’s reach and helped position the brand for continued success. Her efforts—along with the dedication of her family and the excellent Outback staff—helped move the company from its downtown location to a larger facility on the outskirts of Oxford, strengthening both its online presence and customer engagement.
In 2024, Wilson King officially passed the primary reins to his daughter, entrusting
her with the role of President. One of her first major initiatives? Reviving the beloved Outback Trading Company Retail Store—a place where customers can experience the brand firsthand, try on gear, and discover unique finds (including some surprise sales!).
As for Wilson? He’s still running pieces and parts of the company while globetrotting, sharing ideas and inspiration with Allie. With her innovative vision and deep connection to the brand, Allie KingSchumacher is ensuring Outback Trading Company’s legacy continues to thrive for generations to come.
Be sure to visit the new retail store located at 41 South Third Street in Downtown Oxford.

The Oxford Harvest Festival
For 35 years, the Oxford Presbyterian Church held one of Oxford’s favorite events –the Apple Festival. The festival began in 1989 after the devasting fire to the Oxford Presbyterian Church. It’s original mission was to raise funds to rebuild the church. Since 1989 the OPC Apple Festival not only raised those rebuilding funds but also donated thousands of dollars to local organizations in Oxford all centered around family fun and community celebration. When the Oxford Chamber heard that 2024 would be the final year of the Apple Festival, we reached out to see if we could reimagine the festival into a Chamber event. With the blessing of the Church, we are so looking for-
ward to presenting the Oxford Harvest Festival on September 27th at the Oxford Area Recreation Authority Park. With artisan vendors, music and food trucks we look to keeping the mission of family fun and community celebration as OPC did for the past 35 years. Follow us on social media and our website for updated information on the Oxford Harvest Festival.

Steve Justice Plumbing

Contributing Writer
After 25 years in residential and light commercial plumbing, Steve Justice has created a service that reflects the values of his hometown Oxford community. S. Justice Plumbing, established three years ago, emerged from Justice’s deep roots in local plumbing services and his desire to provide direct, personal attention to every customer.
Justice’s journey began at Charles England’s hardware store in Oxford, where he learned the fundamentals of plumbing fittings and basic techniques. Working under England’s Plumbing Heating and Cooling, he expanded his expertise to service plumbing, new construction, and gas piping. Years of subcontracting for various general contractors added to his comprehensive skill set.
“What started S. Justice Plumbing was me simply being done looking for general contractors to sub from,” Justice explains. “At that point, I knew I was capable of doing this without any ties to anyone. I have the knowledge, the insurance, and the license.” With just a Facebook page and posts on local message boards, his independent venture quickly gained traction.
The company’s reputation has flourished, earning praise across community forums for their promptness, cleanliness, professional work, and affordability. What sets S. Justice Plumbing apart is their personal approach to customer service. “Our clients get more of a one-on-one with me,” Justice notes. “I am the guy that answers our phone, I am the guy that is knocking on your door. I am the owner/operator, and I think people like dealing direct.”
As a lifelong Oxford resident, Justice understands the importance of community involvement. His company actively participates in local fundraisers, parades, and sponsorship programs, demonstrating their commitment to giving back while building brand recognition. Looking ahead, Justice’s vision remains
focused on controlled growth while maintaining the personal touch that has become his trademark. “My future goals are to grow my client list but keep my business small and family-owned,” he shares. “I enjoy going out everyday and making someone’s bad day better.”
This philosophy of combining professional expertise with personal service has proven successful in building a loyal customer base. The company offers several ways for customers to save money while ensuring high-quality service, making professional plumbing services accessible to more community members.
Customers can reach S. Justice Plumbing through phone, text, or Facebook Messenger, and are encouraged to follow their Facebook page to see examples of their work and find money-saving coupons. In an industry where personal trust is paramount, S. Justice Plumbing continues to prove that sometimes the best business model is simply being there for your neighbors when they need you most. coupons.

Oxford Area Historic Association
The Story-Keepers
Submitted by the Oxford Area Historical Association
Oxford Area Historical Association (OAHA) will make a little history of its own this year by celebrating its 25th anniversary. From its beginnings, OAHA has always been a band of dedicated volunteers committed to preserving the history and telling the stories of Oxford and its 5 surrounding townships. The idea of creating an historical association grew out of a conversation between Jahan Sheikholeslami, President of Oxford Mainstreet Inc. (OMI) and
Dr. Faye Robinson Doyle, OAHA’s first President. In January 2000 a letter, written by Dr. Doyle, was sent to a group of people, inviting them to a meeting to determine if an interest existed in forming an historical association. Nineteen people attended that first meeting and from this meeting came the initial group of volunteers and framework for OAHA. Throughout the late winter and spring of 2000 meetings would be held to flesh out the organizational structure, elect officers, and create the Bylaws. According to OAHA’s minutes, its first location was in “the right back corner
of the old savings and loan premises on 3rd St., where they had some office space and a filing cabinet”. Sadly, this location was lost in the fire of September 2023. Oxford Area Historical Association held its first General Meeting on Nov. 15, 2000, at the Ware Village Chapel. The meeting consisted of a short business meeting followed by a talk on “Oxford Citizens during the Civil War” by Ralph Denlinger. There was also an exhibit on the Oxford area and a table where those interested could become members. This program was free for all, beginning a practice still in place today.

The OAHA Board and volunteers did not let the lack of a physical location hamper them from preserving and bringing Oxford area’s history to the community. One of the first major undertakings for OAHA was the preservation of the Hopewell School Bell and building of the tower in which to house it. This project was led by OAHA volunteer Kent Vendrick. The group of volunteers salvaged and cleaned mortar off bricks from the demolished Hopewell School as well as some other older houses being torn down. Their motto was “The mortar, the merrier!” In 2004, a truck carrying the cupola and bell participated in a parade to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the founding of Oxford, then called Hood’s Crossing. Work on the bell tower was completed in 2005, and a dedication was held on December 17 of that year. To this day the bell which started atop the Union School Building in 1869 and was then moved to the Hopewell School, can still be heard as every school day 2-3 kindergartners come out in the morning to ring it.
In those early years, OAHA volunteers created and lead walking tours of downtown Oxford. They participated in parades and had table displays at festivals. OAHA Board members took
turns creating pop-up displays in downtown storefronts. Pamphlets and books like, The Dickey Family, A History of Churches and Worship Groups in the Oxford Area, and Country Doctors of Oxford, Pennsylvania were written and sold for a “donation”. In addition to focusing on history in and around Oxford, OAHA sponsored bus trips to nearby historical locations, like Gettysburg, Harper’s Ferry, and St. Michael’s, MD. OAHA partnered with Oxford Area School District and Oxford Educational Foundation to bring in historical reenactors, who portrayed people like George Washington, Ulysses Grant and African-American Revolutionary War hero, Ned Hector. These reenactors would present programs to students during the day and then an OAHA program in the evening.

The cornerstone of OAHA’s offerings to the public has been, and still is, its monthly programs. From the very beginning, these programs have mostly focused on local history, presented by local presenters. There have been programs on people: the Dickey family, OlaBelle Reed Campbell, or the Parker sisters; on places: Hinsonville, West Nottingham, or the Mason-Dixon Line; on industry: auger making, Lukens steel, or the Oxford Co-Operative Car Company; and well, history: coming of age in the 1960s, Oxford during the Civil War, or the Battle of the Brandywine. These programs, always free to the public, have been presented in a variety of locations around Oxford, like the Oxford Presbyterian Church, the firehouse, the Masonic Lodge, Oxford Public Library, Herr’s auditorium, and Ware Presbyterian Village. During COVID, when no one could gather OAHA began hosting online programs, which they continue to do today by
live streaming their programs on their Facebook page.
While OAHA volunteers were participating in all these activities which brought the historical stories of the Oxford area to the community, they were also collecting and preserving what materials they could, given their space which never seemed to be adequate. Concerns always existed about storage and display limitations, and when space became available in the one room schoolhouse building located on the East Nottingham Township municipal property OAHA decided to move as much archival material as possible there. Additionally, they agreed to start inventorying the collection to assist volunteers in making the archives more accessible to researchers.
Even with the move to the East Nottingham Township building, OAHA still did not have enough space for its growing collection of items and no

good way to display what they had or offer access to researchers. OAHA Board members continued to search for locations to house the organization and its’ collection. The Barnsley School was considered as was space in the expanding library. Another location mentioned was the historic Union School Building. In addition to the need to find a place with adequate space to house OAHA’s archives was the need to secure the funding which would allow OAHA to be able to afford that space.
The solution to how OAHA would be able to afford a physical location came from one OAHA’s former Board members and long-time volunteer, Carl Fretz, and then OAHA Board President, Vernon Ringler. Carl Fretz had always urged OAHA to think about a physical location to house a museum like space to display historical artifacts from the Oxford area. When he passed away in 2015, Mr. Fretz bequeathed OAHA $2,500. Vernon Ringler,
Board president, suggested using the donation to create a challenge to other donors to raise $25,000 for the purpose of securing a rental property for the OAHA’s archives and artifacts. He wrote a letter
Now Accepting New Memberships
outlining the challenge and sent it to several donors. The Carl Fretz Challenge as it came to be called surpassed the goal of $25,000, ultimately raising over $30,000
Continued on Page 69

Continued from Page 69
to assist in the securing of a physical location for OAHA. With this funding, OAHA was finally able to move its archives and many of its artifacts to a location on Locust Street in downtown Oxford. This location not only gave the organization a climate-controlled repository for its archives, but also offered space where volunteers could work on cataloging the collection, researchers could access the collection, and artifacts could be displayed. While the Locust Street location was serviceable, from the beginning it had its limitations. The location provided ample space for a few volunteers to work and to house much of the paper archives, but OAHA still was renting two storage units to house almost all of its artifacts. Additionally, the space to display items or create exhibits was very limited. OAHA needed a bigger, permanent place. To think through strategic options toward this undertaking, the OAHA Board contracted with Krys Sipple in February
2020. Around the same time, the Board began to seriously consider making an offer to the Borough for the old train station. OAHA’s future, while seeming a little scary, also looked exciting and full of possibilities. Then in March of 2020, COVID shut everything down. The archive
building was shuttered and programs ceased. The uncertainty was palpable. Would OAHA be able to survive? Luckily, thanks again to the determination of a handful of dedicated volunteers, OAHA was able to adjust and keep moving forward.

Board meetings were held via Zoom and this modern-day technology was used to deliver historical programs and information into people’s living rooms via the Internet, providing an escape for people cut off from their community. It also kept OAHA relevant and alive
in the lives of Oxford area residents. That connection gave OAHA’s Board the courage to make an offer for the train station. Ultimately the Borough did not accept OAHA’s offer, but that disappointing decision turned out to have a silver lining as the Board realized
the train station would not have been big enough for OAHA’s collection and its future plans.
As the limitations of COVID went away, OAHA resumed its previous in-person activities while looking for a space to

call home. It didn’t take long for the now vacant Union School Building to be mentioned as a possible location, after all it had been mentioned in the past. Now, however, the building was more appealing as significant work had been done to the interior of the building. In January 2023, the OAHA Board unanimously voted to take the exciting, but daunting step to sign a lease and an agreement of sale for the Union School Building. In March of that year OAHA moved into its new, permanent home. For the first time ever, all OAHA’s archival materials and artifacts were in one location, a space big enough to preserve and display items, provide researchers space to work, and invite local students in for field trips. None of OAHA’s current successes would have been possible, however, without the dedication of its volunteers over the past 25 years. A special thanks needs to be made to the leadership and vision of the past Board Presidents—Dr. Faye Robinson
John Bradley, Vernon
Ken Woodward, and Gail Roberts. Each of these individuals gave their all to OAHA and moved it forward. Oxford Area Historical Association will be presenting a program on OAHA’s first 25 years on April 10th at 7 PM at the Vista Ridge Pavillion
as well as planning an Open House at the History Center (119 S. 5th St., Oxford) in the Fall to celebrate our anniversary. For more information visit our website at www.oxfordhistorical.org or stop by the History Center on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9-12 PM.

Bishop Sealcoating
Story and Photo
by HaLeigh Abbott
In the heart of the close-knit community of Oxford, Bishop Sealcoating stands as a testament to resilience, reinvention, and the power of giving back. Founded in 2021 by Alex Bishop following a personal tragedy, this seal coating company has quickly become synonymous with quality workmanship and community involvement.
Alex began his entrepreneurial journey in 2010 with CB Mobile, a successful trailer fleet service business that catered to major clients including Basciani, Her Foods, and Tasty Cake. When life took an unexpected turn in 2021, he found himself seeking a new direction – one that would keep his hands busy while providing the satisfaction of visible results at the end of each workday.
“When you fix a trailer, at the end of the day it’s still an ugly trailer,” he reflects. “With seal coating, I get the instant satisfaction of seeing a job well done, with clear before and after results every day.” This appreciation for tangible outcomes, combined with the mentorship of his best friend Eddie Squires who ran a paving company, led to the birth of Bishop Sealcoating.
Alex Bishop’s path to success wasn’t always smooth. As a teenager, he faced homelessness and had to drop out of high school. Nevertheless, he maintained both a full-time job and passing grades during those challenging times – a testament to the work ethic that would later define his business ventures.
Community involvement remains at the heart of Bishop Sealcoating’s mission. The company established the Carter James Bishop scholarship, which provides financial support to local students annually. They’re also active sponsors of the Lighthouse Youth Center, and sponsors to Little League and other children’s sports programs.
As Bishop Sealcoating enters its fourth year of operation, the business continues to expand. Last year marked their
most successful season yet, with profits reinvested into new equipment, including larger seal coating rigs and line stripers. The company has ambitious plans for growth, aiming to develop separate crews for commercial and residential work.
Looking ahead, Alex envisions Bishop Sealcoating as more than just a business – he sees it as a platform for mentoring young workers. “In the future, I plan to cycle many young men in and out of this business, showing them a good work ethic and how to make honest money,” he explains. “Who knows? One of these young men may end up running one of my crews or starting their own business.”
In an industry sometimes plagued by unreliable contractors, Bishop Sealcoating strives to be different. “The seal coating industry is known for ‘gypsies,’” Alex Bishop notes. “I want to be known as the
dependable guy – someone who stands by their work and their mistakes, someone who will still be in business when you need them.”
With the recent addition of his fiancée Abigail handling advertising, billing, estimates, and customer relations, Bishop Sealcoating is poised for continued growth while maintaining its commitment to quality service and community involvement. As they prepare for their upcoming season starting in April, this hometown success story serves as an inspiration for aspiring entrepreneurs and a reminder that with determination and community support, it’s possible to build something truly meaningful from the ground up.

Divas in the The Story of Oxford
the Outfield: Oxford Diamond Divas
By HaLeigh Abbott
In January 2017, what began as a simple desire to improve a struggling Little League softball team has blossomed into one of Oxford’s most inspiring youth sports success stories. The Oxford Diamond Divas, created by Bob Van Zyl with help from the late Nick Sloan, has transformed from a winter training program into a comprehensive softball
organization that’s reshaping the future of girls’ softball in the community.
The journey began when Van Zyl and Sloan, unhappy with the direction of the area Little League, decided to extend Van Zyl’s high school winter workout program to younger players. What they expected to be a modest turnout of 15 girls quickly grew to 17 on the first night, and within a month, swelled to 40 young athletes eager to improve their skills.

However, tragedy struck just three weeks into the program when Nick Sloan was killed in a car accident, leaving Van Zyl to carry on alone. “I had already started it, so I kept going for him,” Van Zyl reflects. “I only knew him for a few months, but I saw all of the good he was able to do.” Rob Logan, a friend of Nick’s, stepped in to help for the next two years, helping to establish the program’s foundation. The organization found its footing in the Brandywine Valley Girls Softball League, starting with 10U and 12U teams. Success came quickly – by 2018, the 12U team went undefeated in the BVGSL. Many of those same players would later form the core of Oxford High School’s 2023 district championship team, which made two appearances in the state tournament. “I tend to forecast where things are going,” Van Zyl notes, “and in 8th grade when I was coaching the middle school, I saw this team and said they’re special and they’re going to dominate.”

Oxford Diamond Divas

Today, the Diamond Divas boasts an impressive 126 registered players, with 80-85 participating in recreational leagues and 36 in tournament play. The program offers opportunities for girls aged 5-16 in recreational ball, with tournament teams at the 10U, 14U, and 18U levels. Plans are already in place to add a 12U tournament team next fall. What sets the Diamond Divas apart is their unwavering focus on girls’ softball. “When I first started it, people would ask what the difference between us and Little League is, and the answer is we don’t do baseball,” Van Zyl explains. “We focus completely on softball, so 100% of the money goes towards the softball players. I always felt like girls sports would get the short end of the stick next to boys sports, and I wanted to prevent that from happening.”
Continued on Page 82
Oxford Diamond Divas
Continued from Page 80
This dedication to excellence extends to every aspect of the program, from high-quality uniforms to specialized training. But perhaps most meaningful is the organization’s emphasis on family, symbolized by the word “Ohana” emblazoned on every jersey – a tribute to Nick Sloan’s legacy and the program’s founding principles.
The origin of this tradition is particularly touching. After Sloan’s passing, Van Zyl personally called every parent to ensure their children wouldn’t hear the news at school. Practice continued the next day because, as Van Zyl puts it, “Nick wouldn’t want us to cancel our workouts.” During that emotional session, the group discussed the importance of leaning on each other as family, referencing the concept of “Ohana” from the movie “Lilo & Stitch.” The word, along with Nick’s initials, was incorporated into the team’s logo and has become their battle cry at the end of every game.
The Diamond Divas’ commitment to inclusivity is evident in their approach to both recreational and tournament play. “Tournament ball is a luxury and a higher level of softball than rec, but the heart of the program is still in the rec teams. It creates a strong base for the softball community,” Van Zyl emphasizes. The organization welcomes players of all experience levels and even provides equipment for those who need it. Their reach extends beyond Oxford’s borders, welcoming players from throughout the region.
The program’s growth led to the creation of Southern Chester County Sports, a facility born out of necessity during COVID19 when school facilities were unavailable. This space now serves multiple sports programs and hosts community events, further cementing the Diamond Divas’ role in local athletics.

Van Zyl, sometimes playfully known as “Coach Cheater” for his practice antics like intentionally throwing balls over players’ heads (resulting in goodnatured extra push-ups), maintains that success isn’t measured solely by athletic achievement. “It doesn’t matter if you make great athletes 100% of the time,” he says. “My measure of success is when a kid is having fun and enjoying the sport and they’re making good memories.”
As the Oxford Diamond Divas continues to grow, it stands to show how a community’s commitment to its youth can create something truly special. With its blend of competitive excellence, family values, and inclusive spirit, the organization is not just developing better softball players – it’s building stronger, more confident young women who understand the true meaning of “Ohana.”

Southern Chester County EMS - Medic -94
Southern Chester County Emergency Operations Center Officially Opens
On Monday, November 18, 2024, the Southern Chester County Emergency Medical Services (SCCEMS Medic-94) and Avon Grove Regional Emergency Management (AGREM) officially moved into the Southern Chester County Emergency Operations Center (SCCEOC) located at 863 W. Baltimore Pike in West Grove. The SCCEOC was a concept of the Penn Township Board of Supervisors in collaboration with SCCEMS-Medic 94 and AGREM. Penn Township owns both the property on which the SCCEOC sits and the SCCEOC building itself.
In December of 2022, the Chester County Commissioners awarded Penn Township an $850,000.00 grant for the purpose of creating a Southern Chester County Emergency Services Center to house SCCEMS - Medic 94. The award was part of $103 million in American Rescue Plan funds awarded by the Commissioners to assist and improve infrastructure, public health response and disproportionately impacted communities affected so grievously by the COVID-19 public health emergency. Penn Supervisors, upon being awarded the funds, undertook a development process in partnership with SCCEMS-Medic 94 and AGREM to design and build the SCCEOC in record time. Using the township’s own American Rescue Plan funds to match the county’s award, and the rest is history. Numerous local contractors were a part of the project, including McComsey Builders and New London Electric.
“Our commitment to the health, safety and welfare of our residents, businesses and visitors is a part of our mission. In recent years, events such as the global pandemic, have caused us to realize the urgent need for a stand-alone emergency services center with permanent home for SCCEMS
- Medic 94 here in the southern portion of the county. With this grant, combined with the township’s own ARPA funds, the Commissioners are enabling us to make that a reality,” said Penn Supervisors’ Chair Victor Mantegna.
The combination of the pandemic, the
closing of Jennersville Hospital, and a space that was outgrown created a challenging situation for SCCEMS-Medic 94 and the community of southern Chester County. AGREM has shifted between New London Township building and Penn Township building for a number of years

as well. Now, with the completion of this project, both AGREM and SCCEMS-Medic 94 have secure futures for years to come enabling the organizations to deliver their services to the entirety of Southern Chester County.
“We are proud of our county and municipal relationships. This new partnership has resulted in a permanent, centrally located home to ensure rapid response for our Medic 94 services in the region. We thank Chester County and Penn Township for their vision and commitment to such a worthy and worthwhile endeavor,” said Bob Hotchkiss, CEO, SCCEMS –Medic 94.
A formal ribbon cutting and open house will be held in May.
Oxford Escapes
By HaLeigh Abbott
Contributing Writer
Anew wellness sanctuary is making waves of relaxation downtown.
Oxford Escapes Massage and Facial Spa, which opened its doors in August 2024, represents the culmination of founder Angel William’s 14-year journey in massage therapy and her lifelong dream of operating her own spa.
The story of Oxford Escapes began with a serendipitous phone call from one of Angel’s travel massage clients, alerting her to the rental opening at 209 E. Locust Street. Despite initial hesitation about the risks of launching a full-scale spa from scratch, Angel and her team were won over by the perfect layout and location. After three visits and careful consideration, they took the leap, transforming the space through meticulous renovation into a serene escape.
“Angel’s passion for massaging and healing people is inspirational,” shares her partner and business owner, Chris Martin. “To many, Angel is more than just a massage therapist – she has changed lives, whether they have chronic pains they need tended to or are in need of stress relief. She really lives up to her name.”
The spa’s success stems from its exceptional team of four skilled practitioners. Angel’s sister Carrie, a licensed esthetician and massage therapist with seven years of experience, has been instrumental in managing daily operations, social media presence, and client communications. The team also includes Shelby, who offers both massage therapy and esthetic services, and Crissy, their newest massage therapist.
Oxford Escapes has found strong support from local organizations, with the Chamber of Commerce and Oxford Main Street actively promoting the business through social media and word-of-mouth campaigns. The spa’s participation in First Fridays has proven particularly successful, allowing them to showcase monthly promotions and special offerings to the community.
Clients praise the spa’s peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, where they can
escape while addressing their therapeutic needs. Services include massage therapy, facials, and waxing, with plans to add tanning services in the near future. The spa currently operates by appointment only, with convenient online booking through their website at Oxfordescapes.glossgenius.com.
Looking ahead, Oxford Escapes aims to expand their accessibility by hiring a fulltime receptionist to manage daily operations and allow for walk-in appointments and gift card purchases during business hours. This growth reflects their commitment to serving the Oxford community while maintaining the high standards of service that have earned them such positive reviews.
The spa maintains professional standards with a clear cancellation policy, charging 50%
for appointments cancelled without 24-hour notice and 100% for no-shows, respecting their service providers’ time and ensuring reliable scheduling for all clients.
In less than a year, Oxford Escapes has established itself as more than just a spa – it’s become a testament to the power of following one’s dreams and the importance of community support in building a successful business. As they continue to grow and evolve, Angel and her team remain focused on their core mission: providing a peaceful haven where clients can escape the stresses of daily life and find healing through expert therapeutic care.
Oxford Escapes is located at 209 East Locust Street in Oxford. Be sure to follow on Social Media for updates and specials.
