Spotlight on the 13th Legislative District race On Nov. 8, residents in the 13th Legislative District will decide whether three-term Republican incumbent John Lawrence returns to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives for the next two years, or whether they vote instead for Democratic nominee Nancy Dean, a retired teacher and clergy person who is seeking office for the first time. In advance of the election, the Chester County Press asked each

State Rep. John Lawrence

candidate about their professional experiences, some of the more pressing issues the state is facing, and what residents in the 13th Legislative District have identified as their top concerns moving forward. The 13th Legislative District includes most of the municipalities in Southern Chester County as well as two municipalities in neighboring Lancaster County.

Nancy Dean

Q: You were elected to represent the 13th Legislative District in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in 2010. What work are you proudest of during your three terms as a state representative?

A: It has been a great honor and very humbling to serve the people of Southern Chester and Lancaster counties in the State House. During my time in office, I have kept the promises I made when I first ran for office, declining the state Continued on Page 3A

Q: Nancy, tell us a little about yourself—where do you live and what do you do professionally?

A: I live in Chatham. I moved from Delaware to this rural area 9 1/2 years ago. I enjoyed a career in teaching, and then made a mid-life career change to ministry. I am now retired clergy. I’m married, the mother of two grown children, and grandmother of two girls all of whom motivate me toward this move to public service. I also believe we need more women in political life.

New owners take over Longwood Gallery in Kennett Square

By John Chambless Staff Writer There’s good news this week as the former owners of the Longwood Gallery in Kennett Square step aside and let an eager new team take over the business. And customers will hardly notice the transition.

more than 50 residents of the development told township supervisors that they were fed up with “living in a nightmare.”

Since that time, Sen. Andy Dinniman has helped spearhead an effort to help eradicate the infestation, which has spread to the adjacent Somerset Lake community as well as dipped over the state line into the Hockessin area. He chaired the meeting, which also included Pa. Deputy Secretary Fred Starathmeyer, Jr. of the Pa. Department of Agriculture; David Beyer, an entomologist with Penn State and one of the nation’s leading experts on phorid fly eradication; the New Garden Board of Supervisors and township manager Tony Scheivert.

While experts said that research to erase the phorid fly at mushroom houses and in residential neighborhoods continues, it has not caught up to the nuisance itself, while several agencies are apparently taking no responsibility for the problem.

Dinniman told the audience that after he first heard of the infestation in the development, his office called the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Each department told Dinniman that the eradication of the flies was not their responsibility.

A meeting held at Harrogate this past May between residents and experts served as a floodgate confessional of problems

shared by members of the community, many of which were echoed at the Oct. 25 meeting.

Harrogate resident Barbara Runkle said that she and her husband have spent $4,000 on pest control products, and regularly spray the exterior of their home with a dishwater product and water as often as four times a day.

“Last Sunday, I was able to open my door for the first time since May,” Runkle said. “We live in total darkness. The lights are out and the blinds are drawn. This is not a good quality of life for anyone to live.”

The infestation is spreading, she said. Runkle told the panel that she has had conversations with residents in Delaware and Maryland about the phorid fly infestation, and they echo a similar problem.

Desperate times are calling for desperate measures of insect control. Throughout the meeting, residents kept referring to the possible use of Diazinon, a poisonous insecticide that was heavily used during the 1970s and early 1980s for general-purpose gardening and indoor pest control of cockroaches, silverfish, ants, and fleas in residential, non-food buildings. It’s off the shelves now; residential uses of Diazinon were outlawed in the U.S. in 2004 by the EPA, but it is still approved for agricultural uses.

Now, without a non-poisonous, organic miracle worker currently on the market for residents to freely use on their properties -- and without the state

accumulating the most public pension money (as a professor at West Chester University, Chester County Commissioner and State Senator, which I estimate between $100,000 and $150,000 per year, or around $500,000 in a lump sum), Dinniman really works at his job diligently and delivers superb constituent service. While I do not always agree with his positions on issues, Dinniman deserves re-election in what may be his swan song election.

In the 158th State House District, I support Susan Rzucidlo. Susan is caring, compassionate and conscientious, and will vote for what’s best for her constituents, not what’s best for lobbyists.

I cannot recommend anyone for the 13th Legislative District. Nancy Dean is running against incumbent John Lawrence. I know nothing about Nancy Dean. In fact, I had to research to see if Rep. Lawrence had an opponent.

Incumbent John Lawrence is running for his fourth term in what looks like his intention to make politics his lifelong career, like his predecessor, Art Hershey.

(Uncle Irvin’s column is his opinion only, and is not a news story.) agencies on board -- finding a solution has come down to research. Through the haze of the fly’s infestation, there are potentially some solutions on the horizon, and many of them are coming from Penn State.

Beyer told the audience that he has spent the past four decades -- including the last 13 years at Penn State -- looking into identifying new behavior modifying, non-toxic chemicals that can be used to manipulate the behavior of the phorid flies in order to lower their numbers. He told the audience that he was hopeful that continued research could someday lead to the use of non-toxic chemicals that could be used for mass trapping and the disruption of fly mating cycles.

While completion on Penn State research plays a waiting game, a few Harrogate

residents have already begun to attack the problem. One resident said that she has had some success with a non-toxic plug-in device called a FlyWeb trap, available on Amazon. com.

The fly light can be used with any standard AC outlets and utilizes a nine-Watt UV light to attract bugs within a 600 square foot area. Once bugs enter the enclosure they become trapped with the adhesive glueboard, which is easily replaceable.

Another resident said that his insect zapper has the capability to kill “tens of thousands of flies,” and recommended that residents place their zapper in their home’s attic.

Several Harrogate residents have created the Phorid Fly Action Committee, in order to

encourage residents to contact local authorities about the problem. The group has aligned with Penn State in the accumulation of research in the development, including maps that indicate the most severe trouble spots for the insect.

Dinniman said he is applying for a grant from the Dept. of Agriculture which will be targeted toward further research, and will be matched with additional state money.

“It will not solve the phorid fly problem immediately, but the research has to be done, in order to solve it once and for all,” he said.

Dinniman also said that he is also trying to get $40,000 to New Garden township that could be used to assist those who are struggling with the phorid fly problem.

Beyer said that the way to rectify the problem is through pragmatic means, through continued study and analysis. He said that he will take the information shared at the meeting and reach out to lawmakers and environmental agencies in Harrisburg.

“It’s real, it’s personal and it’s about this community, and something has to be done, rather than nothing,” Beyer said. “That’s why we’re here tonight, to hear this, to write things down and go back to the drawing board, and if those solutions lead to some type of regulatory control, I assure you that we’re going to go down a path that’s going to get us to another place than we are today.”

“Kicking the can down the road is not the solution, and we’re here to find a solution,” Strathmeyer said.

Lawrence...

Continued from Page 1A

Continued from Page 1A

Q: What made you want to run for the State House seat representing the 13th Legislative District?

A: I have felt increasingly frustrated by the polarization of the elected officials who often seem to spend more time and energy protecting their party and office than working for the electorate. When I was asked to consider running, I felt it would be a privilege and my duty to do so.

Q: Please tell us a little about your educational background and professional experiences.

A: I have a BSE, MA, and a MDiv. I taught in various settings including several years at a university as I worked on my masters and doctorate in English literature, but made a mid-life turn to study religion at the Divinity School of Harvard.

I was ordained in ministry in 1994, and served two churches in Massachusetts and one in Delaware for twenty years.

Q: As you’ve met with residents in the 13th District, what issues are they concerned about?

A: The environment is always important—preserving our farmland and green space, containing sprawl, and helping to encourage farming interests. The concerns for taxes especially as they relate to education and property tax funding, is also high on the list, along with the need to fairly address the state’s budget deficit.

Q: What three issues would you like to see addressed by state lawmakers that would improve the lives of Pennsylvania residents?

A: 1) Fair funding for education and reducing the property tax burden. 2) Sensible weapons regulation to keep citizens safe.

3) Protecting citizens’ civil rights.

Q: If you’re elected to represent the 13th District in the State House, what goals will you have for the first two years in office?

A: To learn as much as possible, and to work with the opposition in order to do the most good for the citizens of the 13th District.

All issues are grounded in the elected officials working together to find solutions, and preventing gridlock such as the budget impasses we’ve had recently. I am deeply concerned for the high number of opioid deaths in our state, as well as increasing gun violence, and would work to find solutions to both.

Q: What else would you like voters to know about your candidacy ahead of the election on Tuesday, Nov. 8?

A: I’m retired from my career work, and not interested in making Pennsylvania politics a longtime career. I am an outsider, a true citizen candidate, and one who respects the need for government that works for our citizens. I am highly motivated by a desire to see our political system working for the people, not protecting reelection bids above all else. There is work that needs to be done, and working to see that we do the most good should be the driving force behind any candidate’s run for office.

pension, holding over 50 town halls across the district to gather feedback, and turning down many of the “perks” legislators of the past voted themselves. I have been a consistent voice, sometimes one of very few voices in the Capitol, for government reform and fiscal accountability.

And while I have had several bills signed into law, and I have had the opportunity to help write legislation of importance, I am most proud of my work here in our community to help people cut through red tape, fix local problems, address local infrastructure issues, and to be a voice in government for those who would otherwise not have a voice. I have found that many people think no one in government cares or is even interested in listening. I have tried to reverse that trend during my time as state representative, being responsive and responsible to the people of our area.

Q: What has been your biggest frustration or disappointment since joining the Pennsylvania House of Representatives?

A: One of my biggest frustrations is the lack of urgency in Harrisburg to tackle the big issues facing our state. Many of these big issues are financial in nature. As with any financial issue, the longer it lingers, the worse it gets. We must address the underfunded state pension systems, we must tackle escalating property taxes, we must get our state budget in order, and we must cut down on reckless borrowing and state indebtedness. There have been good initiatives to address these issues, for example I led a working group earlier this session that focused on reducing state debt. We developed some good legislation that passed the House, but did not pass the Senate. It can be very frustrating to see a smaller, core group of legislators from both parties who want to tackle these issues, while many others seem content to take a “wait and see” approach.

Q: You’ve been very involved with Oxford Borough’s revitalization efforts, particularly the ongoing planning by the borough to build a parking garage. Can you tell us a little about your involvement, and how you’ve helped the process along?

A: Over the past few years, I have tried to focus on two major infrastructure improvements in our area – fixing the intersection at Old Baltimore Pike and Route 796 in Jennersville, and address-

ing the parking situation in Oxford. With regard to the Red Rose intersection in Jennersville, I have been working closely with Penn Township, PennDOT, Senator Dinniman, and other local stakeholders to accelerate the timetable to fix the intersection, and we are getting close to a resolution.

In Oxford, a key to the long term revitalization of the downtown area is attracting a major downtown employer, and a key to attracting a major downtown employer is reliable parking. Working with the borough and other local stakeholders, we have made major progress towards this goal in the last few months.

Specifically, I worked hard with former borough manager Betsy Brantner and National Penn Bank to help Oxford Borough obtain the parking lot in the middle of town for $1, providing the location for a potential parking facility at almost no cost to the borough. I am working closely with a team put together by the borough that is exploring opportunities to move forward with the project, preferably through a public-private partnership, that would provide the infrastructure necessary for sustained private sector business growth in Oxford’s downtown core.

Q: What committee assignments do you currently have?

A: This session, I serve on the Finance, Commerce, Agriculture, Health, and Rules committees. These are fairly active committees that see a lot of legislation. The Health committee passed a number of bills to tackle the opioid crisis ravaging communities across Pennsylvania. We also tackled legislation regarding insurance coverage for chemotherapy and other pharmaceuticals. I have been particularly active on the Agriculture committee this session, working with Chairman Marty Causer to address issues facing dairy farmers and the equine industry. We had two hearings on legislation I developed concerning dairy issues. The Finance committee also held a hearing on legislation I wrote concerning leasebacked debt, a technique by which past Governors have put the Pennsylvania taxpayer on the hook for millions of dollars in debt to fund pet projects without ever having to get legislative approval. The dangerous practice must be eliminated.

Q: When you’re out campaigning in the district, what issues are local residents concerned about the most?

A: The number one issue in our area is school property taxes. Many folks,

in particular seniors, are being taxed out of their homes. In recent years, most of the increase in school taxes is due to the vastly underfunded teacher’s pension system, and the requirement for the state and the school districts to contribute more to these pension plans. I have been a strong voice for property tax reform, voting to eliminate property taxes in favor of an income- and salestax-based approach, and developing several plans of my own that would greatly reduce property taxes for low-income seniors.

Many folks tell me that they have given up and they think nothing will ever be done to change the situation. While I share their frustration, I do believe there is a path forward. Many of the long-time legislators who have traditionally been opposed to property tax reform are retiring. Our Majority Leader, Rep. Dave Reed, is an advocate for property tax reform.

As much as it is up to me, I will continue to advocate for property tax reform to keep people from being evicted from their own homes by a tax that doesn’t take into account one’s ability to pay.

Q: What are some of the issues that, if you’re reelected on Nov. 8, you expect to be working on during the next two years?

A: In my view, the top tier issues next session will be developing a balanced state budget, addressing the unfunded liability facing the state pension systems, the opioid crisis facing Pennsylvania, education funding and property taxes. I also hope to address the structural financial issues facing the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and the overall state debt burden. From a government reform standpoint, I will reintroduce bills to requiring drug testing for elected officials, and giving a citizens commission sole authority over legislators’ salaries.

“We had been talking about selling the gallery for maybe six months or so,” Kuhn said. “Then we decided to tell David and Megan. And Megan said, ‘Well, dad, we could buy the gallery.’”

Within a couple of days, a deal had been struck.

Megan is excited to take over the business, and she has been learning the fine points of framing pictures. She has extensive experience in non-profit management, and David was an institutional investment advisor and traveled all over the country before retiring at 45.

“I’ve been retired 25 years, and I’m getting bored now,” David said with a smile.

Megan said she and her father have already fit in with the business community in Kennett Square.

“The townspeople here are so welcoming,” she said. “To be joining the actual business community is very exciting for us.

But it’s also a natural transition, because we know the town and we love the town. We’ll still be doing framing, and my dad’s really going to be the face of the business. We’ll be keeping all the artists that are already here, because they’re fabulous.”

A reception with the gallery’s artists and customers was held Oct. 23 to reassure everyone that the transition will be seamless. Megan said the gallery will be closed for a couple of days this week for some painting, but will be open for the Nov. 4 Gallery Walk.

“We trying to keep consistency,” Megan said.

“We want our customers to feel as if we are simply an extension of what Marge and Sheila have started. We’re going to keep their vision going, because the town loves this place.”

were either going to be way in debt, or move.”

At that time, the highly visible space at 200 E. State St. in Kennett Square housed the Historic Kennett Square meeting room, when Kuhn and Washington asked about taking it over. The deal was struck and the business opened in its new location on April 1, 2005.

That day was the traditional Art Stroll evening, but before they had officially opened, Kuhn and Washington had their first customer, who knocked on the door to ask about framing.

A decade ago, the business climate in Kennett Square was smaller and sleepier, and Kuhn noted that it’s become much more eclectic and funky in recent years. Along the way, Longwood Gallery has showcased more than 140 exhibitions and promoted regional artists such as Mary Ann Weselyk and Jack Giangulio, who are two longtime favorites of both Kuhn and Washington.

While they both loved the artists and customers who have become friends, they said that the physical labor of creating frames and cutting mats and glass has become a bit much for them.

“We’re ready to relax,” Kuhn said. “It’ll be great having Saturdays free.

And before Christmas, we’ll actually be able to decorate the house rather than be here every day.”

In 2006, Longwood Gallery was a favorite stop for David Umbs and his daughter, Megan, both of whom loved art and were steady buyers. David said he owns 41 artworks purchased at the gallery, along with 40 pieces of pottery. Megan’s home is packed with purchases from Longwood Gallery, as well.

Local News Students learn Avon Grove continues negotiations to sell its wastewater about mushrooms treatment plant to Aqua Pennsylvania Wastewater, Inc.

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer The Avon Grove School Board took three actions at its Oct. 27 meeting pertaining to the potential sale of the district’s wastewater treatment plant to Aqua Pennsylvania Wastewater, Inc. The district has long wanted to get out of the wastewater treatment business. The wastewater treatment facility provides service to the school campus that includes Avon Grove’s administration building, the Penn London Elementary School, and the Avon Grove Intermediate School. The district sought requests for proposals from companies interested in purchasing the wastewater treatment plant early in 2015. The only company to submit a proposal was Aqua Wastewater, Inc., which provides water and wastewater services to approximately 3 million people in eight states.

Negotiations between the district and Aqua Pennsylvania Wastewater, Inc. have been ongoing ever since.

Business manager Daniel Carsley explained at the Oct. 27 meeting that there are still eight or ten items that still need to be resolved before the sale

can be completed. Carsley characterized the negotiations as challenging at times because there are so many complicated issues that need to be addressed.

The district also hasn’t had the advantage of negotiating with more than one potential buyer.

Avon Grove’s wastewater treatment system is small compared to other systems that often serve multiple municipalities.

“We’ve had one interested buyer and it has been a challenge,” Carsley said.

There have been numerous changes in regulations made by the state’s Department of Environmental Protection in recent years, and Avon Grove’s wastewater treatment plant is not meeting the new standards. Upgrades to the system will be required, and there’s also the possibility of fines coming from the state’s Department of Environmental Protection as a result of the failure to comply with state standards.

Regulatory approvals are required before a sale can be finalized.

Aqua Pennsylvania Wastewater, Inc. has offered to pay the district $100,000 for the sewage treatment plant. Along with that, Aqua would

agree to spend an additional $150,000 for upgrades intended to keep the system in compliance with Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection regulations.

Once the wastewater system is sold, the district will likely pay about $75,000 annually for connecting to the system.

The wastewater treatment system has sufficient capacity to meet the district’s needs into the future, and Aqua Pennsylvania Wastewater, Inc. would have the option of expanding the wastewater treatment plant and sell capacity to other customers in the area. The district would no longer have the financial obligations to operate and maintain the plant once the sale is finalized.

As the negotiations work toward their conclusion, the school board needed to take several preliminary steps. The school board approved, by a vote of 7-0, an Asset Purchase Agreement between the school district and Aqua Pennsylvania Wastewater, Inc. to convey assets related to the Avon Grove School District’s wastewater treatment facilities and associated easements, and to authorize district officials to execute the

documentation necessary for closing in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Additionally, the school board approved an easement agreement regarding the treated effluent discharge pipe and the groundwater discharge pipe located on property owned by the school district. The Easement Agreement is to be delivered only at the closing of the related Asset Purchase Agreement. The vote was 7-0.

The school board also voted 7-0 to approve the Contract Operations Agreement between Avon Grove and Aqua Pennsylvania Wastewater, Inc. for the operation of the wastewater treatment facility.

Also at the Oct. 27 meeting, the school board approved a 36-month lease extension with Reliant Asset Management for the modular units that are utilized at the Fred S. Engle Middle School.

The next regular meeting of the Avon Grove School Board is set for Nov. 17 at 7 p.m. in the Avon Grove Intermediate School’s music room.

With help from Chartwells, the Kennett Consolidated School District’s dining services provider, and Phillips Mushroom Farms, students at Bancroft, Greenwood, and New Garden elementary schools and the Mary D. Lang Kindergarten Center celebrated National Farm to School Month by exploring a local delicacy – the mushroom.

In 2010, Congress declared October National Farm to School Month, recognizing the role farms play in promoting well-being among children and strong local economies.

Dr. Hilary Fox, a spawn lab manager at Phillips Mushroom Farms, brought a variety of mushrooms growing on substrate for the children to see.

Phillips Mushroom Farms donated button mushrooms that the cafeteria staff added to flatbread pizza for the students to sample. First grade student Ethan Schurr tried a slice of a raw button mushroom with some ranch dressing and admitted that he was unsure about the taste.

“I had a wonderful time sharing my love of mushrooms To contact Staff Writer with the students and teachers,” Fox said. “The students Steven Hoffman, email edi- were polite and curious and asked great questions.” The tor@chestercounty.com. students also received a mushroom-themed word search puzzle and recipe booklets for their parents.

“Chartwells is thrilled to be a part of the district’s first Farm to School event,” said Chartwells district manager Norman Horn. “Eating local is so important, and events such as this help kids make the connection of where their food comes from.”

Blue Demons pounced by Great Valley, 46-14

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer As game time approached at Kennett High School last Friday evening, the Blue Demons’ outlook already appeared grim, as two of its playmakers stood on the sidelines, unable to tee it up against the visiting Great Valley Patriots.

It had already been a trying season, one that led the Blue Demons into the Oct. 28 game with a 3-6 record, and the appearance of running back Myles Robinson and wide receiver Dominic D’Angelo both injured and on the sidelines -- as well as tight end and defensive end Kerry Tomasetti playing in an arm cast -- served as a saltin-the-wound punctuation mark to the Blue Demons’ last game of the 2016 season.

Behind the quarterbackto-wide receiver tandem of Robert Geiss to Ryan

Hubley, the visiting Patriots clobbered Kennett, 46-14, in a convincing victory that sent Great Valley (6-4) to a berth in the District 1, Class 5A playoffs. Geiss connected with Hubley seven times for 178 yards and three touchdowns, the first one coming with 10:10 left in the first quarter, soon after Great Valley recovered their opening kick-off at the Kennett 21 yard-line. Four plays later, Geiss hit Hubley for a 9-yard touchdown.

Inheriting the ball at its 15 yard-line, Kennett quarterback Jake Dilcher was sacked for a 14-yard loss back at his nine-yard line. On the subsequent punt attempt, Kennett punter James Tuley was sacked for a safety in his end zone to give Great Valley an early 9-0 lead.

On Great Valley’s first snap of its next possession, Geiss found Hubley over the middle near midfield, which led to a 55-yard

touchdown run by Hubley to give Great Valley a 16-0 lead with 7:23 left in the first quarter.

Kennett began its only serious scoring threat late in the first quarter, when carries by Connor Hyzny and freshman Garrett Cox moved the ball from its own 28-yard line to the Great Valley 16-yard line.

As the second quarter began, Hyzny carried to the one-yard line, and with 10:52 left in the first half, Dilcher plunged in for the touchdown, to narrow the Patriots’ lead to ten, 16-6.

The two-point conversion attempt then failed.

Highlighted by a 36-yard run by Mark DeRobertis, Great Valley then extended its lead to 22-6 on Geiss’ keeper with 8:39 left in the second quarter.

On Kennett’s next set of downs, a Dilcher pass was intercepted by Dylan Tashjian at midfield with 6:36 left in the half, which

led to a 63-yard, 9-play possession that finished with DeRobertis’ 15-yard touchdown run with 3:37 remaining in the first half, that gave Great Valley a 29-6 lead.

Following a Kennett punt, it was deja-vu all over again, as Hubley took a screen pass from Geiss and ran 59 yards untouched for his third touchdown of the

game to give Great Valley a 36-6 lead at halftime.

On Great Valley’s first drive of the second half, Geiss wrapped a 71-yard, 6-play drive with a 13-yard touchdown run to widen the Patriots’ lead to 43-6. Great Valley finished its scoring on a 28-yard field goal by kicker Pat Sauer with 11:01 left in the third quarter.

Chester County: Forever Republican?

Concerns about U.S. Senate candidate

According to the FiveThirtyEight election forecast website this week, Hillary Clinton has an 83.7 percent chance of winning the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the presidential election. In a statewide Franklin & Marshall College Poll taken recently, Clinton led Republican candidate Donald Trump by seven percentage points in Pennsylvania, and Democratic Senate challenger Katie McGinty led incumbent Republican Pat Toomey by five percentage points.

You would never know it by driving around a large portion of Chester County.

Whether they are placed there by Republican Committee of Chester County volunteers or by residents, the quantity of Trump-Pence signs far outnumber those of Clinton-Kaine. Many Trump signs are printed in the design of the campaign’s colors, some are hand-painted and nailed onto the sides of barns, while others seem to have been crafted haphazardly and stuck in the ground at the end of driveways, and for many reasons. They are accusing Clinton of sabotaging what they feel is a “rigged election.” They call her a criminal for her role, as former Secretary of State, in the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya. They believe that she should be sent to jail for violating common edicts that dictate private information by sending classified information on a private email server.

No matter how these signs were constructed, they serve as the foghorn blast of anti-Clinton sentiment in a county that has historically been the most conservative county on the eastern side of Pennsylvania...or are these signs merely a reflection of how things roll here?

The truth is in the numbers: Of the 516,000 residents in Chester County, 338,000 are registered voters, and among them, almost 45 percent of them are registered as Republicans, while 38 percent are registered as Democrats.* The proof is also in its recent history. In the contentious 2000 election, George W. Bush won by ten percentage points in Chester County, and beat John Kerry four years later by 4.5 percent, becoming the only suburban Philadelphia county that Bush carried in 2004. The county sided with Barack Obama in his 2008 election -- the first Democratic presidential candidate it supported since Lyndon Johnson in 1964. In the 2012 presidential election, the county narrowly swung back, as Republican candidate Mitt Romney drew a little more than one thousand votes more than Obama.

The proof is also in its governance. In the U.S. House of Representatives, Ryan Costello, Pat Meehan and Joe Pitts are all Republicans. All nine seats in the State House of Representatives are held by Republicans, and Andy Dinnaman is the lone Democrat representing the county in the State Senate. Closer to home, every prominent county official -- save for County Commissioner Kathi Cozzone -- is a Republican.

Yet, as we approach the 2016 presidential election next week, there is the question of whether all of those Trump-Pence signs throughout Chester County are well-placed predictors, or merely blowing in the wind of a shifting sentiment.

A few weeks ago, “Saturday Night Live” veterans Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon portrayed two undecided women voters from the Philadelphia suburbs. While their skit poked fun at the two candidates, it also hit hard. The demographic is not just an invention, it’s real, and it puts a highlyeducated constituency who has the highest income of any county in Pennsylvania in the center ring of who Trump most needs to win on Nov. 8.

The proof is in the behavior. A recent poll found that Clinton was leading Trump by 28 percentage points in the four suburban counties surrounding Philadelphia, and of those questioned, 68 percent of likely voters—including 76 percent of women—said that they were offended by his recent derogatory and inflammatory remarks about women, exacerbated by the lengthy list of women who have accused the businessman and entertainer of sexually assaulting them. The candidate’s controversial remarks against Muslims, military veterans, immigrants and Mexicans have only contributed to those shrinking numbers.

In short, Chester County is proof that the allegiances are shifting, and for reasons having little to do with politics.

And yet, less than one week from Election Day, those Trump-Pence signs on the back roads of Chester County are still in the ground and on the sides of barns. In the soon-to-be aftermath of a dispiriting campaign for the presidency, they may be there for a long time. Whether they serve to represent the stronghold that the Republican Party has had on Chester County, or whether they are the last vestiges of an unrelenting anti-Clinton backlash here that refuses to bend, the ultimate proof of their impact—and their sentiment—will be in the results. * as of Nov. 2013

(Editor’s note: This Letter to the Editor corrects an earlier version that appeared in our Oct. 19 issue).

Nothing but lies from Roe Letter to the Editor: In this election season, we’ve been inundated with lies from both parties at the top of the ticket. I have been running on the issues, putting out position papers since the beginning of this race, and I had hoped that my opponent would have as well, but that has not been the case.

Today, I am calling out my opponent, Eric Roe, for

blatantly and repeatedly lying about my positions.

I have gone on record in newspapers as well as on my Facebook posts that I did not support Gov. Tom Wolf’s tax plan. I also said—and still stand by my statement—that I also opposed the House Leadership’s budget. Both budgets were wrong for the people of Pennsylvania, and yet for weeks now, both by mail and in TV ads, Eric Roe has been lying about

my political stands and intentions.

Is that the kind of legislator we need in Harrisburg?

Someone who will lie to win?

What a shame that instead of honestly discussing issues, Eric chose to lie about where I stand on the issues, and to also rely on that old lie “all Democrats want to raise your taxes,” trying to incite fear and worry among voters.

I say this to Eric: If as a candidate, you are unwilling to represent yourself and your opponent with honesty and integrity, then you don’t reflect our Chester County values. This might be how Washington D.C. acts, but the constituents of the 158th District deserve much better than this.

Susan Rzucidlo Candidate for the PA House of Representatives

Support Rzucidlo on Election Day Letter to the Editor: If you know anything about Susan Rzucidlo’s campaign style, you know that one of her hallmarks is that she knocks on every door in the district, hoping to meet every constituent.

During her first campaign, she knocked on my door and I am so glad she did.

We have been friends ever since.

As she began to talk to me on that fall day a few years ago, we quickly learned that we have much in common. We both are raising

sons with significant special needs. We both work or have worked as special education advocates, assisting other families in the IEP process. Susan’s son is older than mine, so she is further along in her journey, and has had so much knowledge to offer.

She left me that day with her personal cell number and a sincere “call me if you need anything.” And over the years, I have called her. I have been faced with both issues affecting my own family, or when trying to assist community mem-

bers. Susan has always been there. She always knows the answer I’m looking for, or where to find it. She has never once even hinted that I’m bothering her or that she’s too busy to help.

This is what we need as our Pennsylvania representative. As it is, tell anyone in the area that you live out past Longwood Gardens, and you might as well say you live on the moon. Do we really want a state representative that thinks that New Garden is “too far” for him to travel? That is not what we need.

We need someone who walks among us, lives among us, and I know when elected, she will help every resident of the 158th the way she has always helped me.

I consider myself very lucky to have met Susan Rzucidlo and am thankful to have her in my life. I hope you all get the same opportunity that I have been given, to have her as a friend. Vote for her on Nov. 8, and you won’t be disappointed.

Your brain on politics What happens when two psychology professors, one conservative and one liberal, talk politics on college radio? Your Brain on Politics happens.

Since the beginning of October, Dr. Colleen McDonough and Dr. Ramona Palmerio-Roberts have set aside one hour each week to discuss politics on WNUW 98.5, Neumann University radio. They have different views, opposing political philosophies, and yet, they are not at each other’s throats on air. In a refreshing departure from the current political climate of name-calling (she’s crooked vs. he’s crazy), McDonough and PalmerioRoberts like and respect each other.

“We share a lot of the same beliefs and values,” admits Palmerio-Roberts, a self-described religious liberal. “We just have different views about how to get there.”

McDonough, a moderate conservative, concurs.

“Even when we completely disagree, we don’t get mad at each other.”

The psychological underpinning of the show is a shared belief that a phenomenon called “confirmation bias” is causing extreme polarization along political lines. Confirmation bias occurs when people look, almost exclusively, for information that confirms what they already believe. Think of rightwingers who listen only to Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly, or lefties who tune in solely to Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell.

“When you talk about issues with or consume

information from people who share the same opinion, you become more entrenched in your views,” says Palmerio-Roberts. The result is an intensifying of the political polarization that adds to the vitriol that has dominated the 2016 elections.

“It’s important to be open to different opinions,” says McDonough. “Often Ramona will say things that make me re-evaluate my position. The result may be to strengthen my belief or make me more willing to modify my initial view.”

Another theme of Your Brain on Politics is the power of the media to influence opinion. Years ago, during the debate about the Affordable Care Act, the professors recall that Fox News consistently emphasized that 90% of Americans already had some form of health insurance (hinting that lack of coverage was a non-issue) while MSNBC stressed that 30 million people were not covered (hinting at a catastrophic situation). With the population of the United States at slightly more than 300 million, both statistics were accurate. It was the media emphasis that influenced viewer opinion, another example of how confirmation bias can polarize political camps.

“The goal of the show” explains McDonough, “is not to change people’s minds but to educate our listeners and help them become critical thinkers.”

Whether the visceral tone of politics in 2016 is caused by the media or whether profit-driven corporations are simply giving consum-

ers what they demand, “healthy objectivity.”

Palmerio-Roberts is certain And that’s what Your that one element absent Brain on Politics is all from the current climate is about.

Oxford finishes the season with two straight wins Oxford 35, Octorara 14

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer The Oxford Hornets finished the season on a high note last Friday night, defeating Octorara, 35-14, for their second straight victory. It was a gratifying conclusion to the 2016 campaign, especially for the 22 seniors on the roster who helped set the tone as the Oxford football program charted a new course during head coach Mike Means’ first two seasons.

“It’s great to send our seniors off that way,” Means said after the victory. “They have been working hard to bring our program back to respectability. I’m very proud of our players.”

Oxford put together a complete game at Octorara, winning the line of scrimmage battle on both sides of the ball. Many of Oxford’s seniors were key contributors throughout the game. Octorara threatened to score on its first drive of the game, but Mike Weber and Mykie Brown, two of Oxford’s senior defensive linemen, sacked quarterback Trent Pawling on a critical fourth down play that gave Oxford’s offense the ball at the 43-yard line.

Oxford quarterback Chandler England found one of his favorite targets, senior wide receiver Troy Brown, for an 11-yard gain that gave the Hornets a fresh set of downs. Tim Davis, Oxford’s talented running back, took the hand off the next play and rumbled

43 yards for a touchdown with 1:59 left to play in the second quarter.

Oxford pushed the lead to 14-0 after a 56-yard drive that was highlighted by a beautiful 20-yard slant pass from England to tight end Pat Kinsella, another Hornet senior. Brandon Holz contributed a nice 15-yard carry, and Davis finished the drive with an 11-yard touchdown run. Oxford was getting good blocking up front by Jared Tweed, Connor McMurrough, Josh Freese, George Tzanakis, and Brendan Chew, so Oxford’s runners had room to run. Kicker Ryan Hannum’s extra point made it 14-0 with 6:56 left to play in the second quarter.

Chew, playing at the outside linebacker position on defense, made a touchdown-saving tackle after Pawling found Scott Burridge on a screen pass over the middle that moved the ball 25 yards to the eight-yard line of Oxford.

The Hornets’ defense made a stand, however, and four plays later they took over on downs with the 14-0 lead intact.

Oxford’s next drive started at their own fiveyard line, but a 25-yard gain on a pass from England to Brown on one play, and then a personal foul penalty against Octorara following an incomplete pass moved the ball close to midfield.

England connected with Holz on a seven-yard pass play, and then found Brown on back to back plays that

covered a total of 32 yards.

Three plays after that, from the 17-yard line, England lofted another pass toward Brown, who was racing for the end zone. The ball hit a defender’s hands, but Brown pulled it in for the score, making it 21-0 with 13 seconds left in the second quarter.

Oxford made it 28-0 after Davis capped a 55-yard drive with a five-yard touchdown run with about seven minutes to go in the third quarter. It was Davis’ third touchdown of the night, and Means said that it was good to see him have a strong performance in his final game as a Hornet. He explained that Davis has worked hard to overcome some nagging injuries during the season.

The Hornets’ offense produced a fifth touchdown early in the fourth quarter after a 75-yard drive that featured the running of senior running back Cullen Jones. Jones finished the drive with a seven-yard touchdown run that was the culmination, his coach said, of a lot of hard work during his career at Oxford.

“He’s a good kid,” Means said. “He shows up and works hard at every single practice. He really deserved this game.”

Means said that seeing Jones score that touchdown was one of the highlights of his coaching career.

Octorara scored twice in the final minutes of the game as Nick Raabe hauled in a 23-yard pass and Jude

Pat Kinsella had another big game for Oxford.

Unitis caught an 11-yarder to make it 35-14. After winning the first game of the season over Springfield Township, Octorara finished with a 1-9 record, while Oxford’s two victories in two games gave the Hornets a 3-7 overall record.

Oxford’s wins in the final two games illustrates the hard work that the players have put in, Means said, explaining that he thinks

the team has made the most improvement on the offensive and defensive lines.

“Last year, there were times when we got bullied up front. That hasn’t happened this year. We’ve started to get that mean streak that we need,” he explained.

The Oxford coach also said that England, a junior, has made great strides during the season.

“He’s done a lot of positive things for us,” Means said. “He plays with a lot of heart and a lot of moxie. I trust him with the ball in his hands.”

England will likely be one of the leaders of the team when the Hornets take the field again in 2017.

A happy home

At Greenmore Farm, families find new love with once-unwanted dogs

By John Chambless Staff Writer

local vet for all inoculations and medical evaluations. In six years, every animal has been placed with a happy home, Merritt said, except eight “house dogs” who live there full-time. Lilly has taken to her role as the farm’s greeter and protector. She will stand on her hind legs and hug visitors around the neck with gentle affection. “Most of our personal dogs have had special needs, and they’ve just crawled their way into our hearts,” he said.

Merritt said his parents and Julie’s parents were “corporate gypsies,” and Julie went to school for nursing in Allentown. As a lifetime equestrian, she had always been eager to find a property large enough for her horses and to take in animals who needed a second chance. In 2010, she found the Greenmore property – which is modest compared to the surrounding farms – and started her dream job there. She still works as a nurse during the days, but every off hour is devoted to getting animals rescued. She and Jack have been partners for two years.

For Merritt, who still works as a management consultant, living in the midst of so much animal affection since he met Julia is endlessly rewarding.

“It’s always fresh,” he said, smiling. “I’m a little bit like a dog in that respect. I live in the now.”

There’s no time limit on how long a dog can stay at Greenmore, although Merritt said sometimes they will swap a dog with another no-kill shelter where, for some reason, the new arrival is usually adopted right away.

An emu is one of the exotic animals living at Greenmore.

transportation to another site, or sometimes to Merritt, who owns a plane and can take perhaps a dozen dogs for a flight to Pennsylvania. Most of the dogs are brought in by ground transport, but for long distances, being able to fly them to New Garden Flying Field means many little lives can be saved. “It really takes a village,” he said. “It’s like a big bucket brigade among these various organizations.”

The dogs, Merritt said, don’t realize they’re flying, and take to the trip very well. One dog, he said, stood up in its cage and intently gazed at the ground, 9,000 feet below. “I wonder what she was thinking,” Merritt said, laughing. “Any dog that likes going somewhere likes flying.”

Greenmore specializes in small to medium-size dogs, and can take about 50 at maximum capacity, with the help of nearby foster families, Merritt said. Last week, there were a couple of dozen dogs in kennels, all of whom barked and wagged enthusiastically for visitors. There’s a separate room for puppies while they are given their inoculations, and evaluated for any diseases before being put up for adoption. Other dogs are given a pen to bounce around in, and they are all walked twice a day by a rotating staff of volunteers.

“We have four paid parttime employees,” Merritt said.

“Two people take care of the grounds and stables, and two work in the kennel. And we have a core of eight or 10 volunteers who are here every week.”

Greenmore works with a

There are two elderly dachsunds up for adoption at Greenmore.

A pot-bellied pig lives with several peacocks at Greenmore Farm.

Sometimes, as he’s picking up dogs from shelters where they have been just hours away from death, Jack Merritt will get a lick on the hand and a joyful tail wag.

“I think it’s their way of saying, ‘Thanks,’” Merritt said.

“I think they know they’re being rescued.”

Merritt, along with his partner, Julia Altman, run the Greenmore Farm Animal Rescue in West Marlborough Township. The six-acre property is surrounded by open fields and just big enough for a small home and plenty of room for the animals that are getting a second chance.

During a recent tour of the farm, Merritt stopped frequently to point out animals – small donkeys, peacocks, a pot-bellied pig, an emu, a miniature horse – that have joined the dozens of dogs that Greenmore specializes in. He and Altman find it hard to say no when someone calls about an animal that, through no fault of its own, is facing death unless someone steps in.

For instance, there’s Lilly, a thick-coated Great Pyrenees dog that strolls over to greet every visitor. She was surrendered to a shelter in West Virginia when her owners deemed her too large to take care of. That kind of attitude gnaws at Merritt.

“What kind of person would pay four figures for a dog and not know how big it was going to get?” he said.

Some of the dogs that end up at Greenmore are purebreds, given to shelters because they don’t fit whatever expectations someone had. “I would say, ‘Never buy from a pet store, because every time you do that, you’re killing another dog somewhere,’” Merritt said.

Many of the dogs that end up at Greenmore start out at overcrowded shelters in the Appalachian region, where there is no widespread spaying and neutering program. There are, however, networks of concerned people nationwide who work on the ground with the shelters. When an adoptable dog is due for euthanasia, the call goes out.

Jack Merritt and Julia Altman make the Greenmore Farm Animal Rescue run, with the help of many volunteers and supporters.

There are two elderly dachsunds at Greenmore who were surrendered to a shelter when their owner died.

Toothless but still lively, they are eligible for adoption, free of charge, to the right person.

“Julie says there’s a lid for every pot, and we work hard to find the perfect match for each dog,” Merritt said. But the dogs can also live out their days at Greenmore if necessary.

At Greenmore, visitors can’t just drop in. Families are required to go online first to see photos of the dogs up for adoption, and fill out a request to visit. The visit is part of a thorough evaluation process to confirm that the dogs are going to good homes. There’s a fee required at the time of adoption that partially covers the costs of caring for the animals up to that point.

“At this point, we’re sort of breaking even,” Merritt said, smiling. “We have the dogs that are six months or older

spayed and neutered at the Chester County SPCA. Last year, we spent about $80,000 on vet bills. We rely on the fees and the kindness of our donors. But the goal is finding good homes for good dogs.

We socialize the dogs. We train them to walk on a leash, that sort of thing.”

Merritt is proud of Greenmore’s record of success. “Last June, we had a celebration when we had adopted out 1,000 dogs,” he said. “We’re humming along.

We get seven to 10 dogs a week coming in and going out. And in six years, we’ve managed to adopt out nearly every dog.”

Greenmore Farm Animal Rescue is a 501c3 charity.

Landenberg artist’s work to be featured at WCU

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer A retrospective celebrating the work of the late Landenberg artist Bernie Felch is on display at West Chester University. “Art Works! A Retrospective 1951-2008” will continue through Dec. 16 at the John H. Baker Gallery in the E.O. Bull Center for the Arts.

The exhibition includes a substantive body of the artist’s work, including watercolors, oil paintings, pottery, marble sculpture, wood sculpture, ceramic sculpture, wall pieces and carved brick walls.

The show is wrapped around the recent publication of “The Art

of Bernie Felch,” created by designer Jeff Smith, photographer Terence Roberts, Felch’s daughter Lindsey and Felch’s wife, Roz. In addition to an illustrated biography, the book includes essays from Margaret Winslow, curator of contemporary art at the Delaware Art Museum; painters Gus Sermas and Ruth Miller; and London architect Benedict O’Looney.

Throughout his artistic life, Felch -- who died in 2008 -- exhibited his paintings, sculpture and ceramics in numerous solo and group shows in Delaware, Pennsylvania and New York, and several of his pieces are included in corporate, museum and

private collections.

After serving in the Army in Germany during World War II, he received a B.A. in 1946 from Williams College, with a double major in art and literature. He then attended the University of London in England. After returning to the U.S., he settled in Rochester, N.Y., where he studied with Bauhaus ceramic artist Franz Wildenhain, his lifelong mentor who gave him a strong background in all phases and formal techniques for working in clay. He then returned to France, where he studied at the Academie de la Grande Chaumiere and the Academie Julien in Paris. He then studied

in Florence, Italy at the Instituto del’Arte.

In addition to his work as an artist, Felch taught art at Eaglebrook School in Deerf ield, Mass.; Shady Side Academy in Pittsburgh; The Tatnall School in Wilmington; and the University of Delaware, where he received his Masters of Fine Art. He then taught at Lincoln University for 21 years, where he was chairman of the Fine Arts Department.

After retiring from Lincoln, he taught ceramics at the Center for the Creative Arts in Yorklyn; The Urban Environmental Center in Wilmington; and gave many workshops in Pennsylvania and

Images of autumn and places you’ll recognize

By John Chambless Staff Writer There’s a fine autumnal air to Jacalyn Beam’s show at the Chadds Ford Gallery, titled “Treats and Tricks,” but the subject matter spans more than pumpkins and fall scenes.

The generous cross-section of 54 paintings does have scenes from the Chadds Ford Pumpkin Carve (“Adjusting the Lights” and “Pumpkin Tea,” for instance), but the show is nicely weighted toward Beam’s depictions of Chester County farms and distinctive homes that will have you playing guess-the-location.

Among the nicer moments are “A Locust Grove Day,” with its strong depiction of a brilliant blue sky over a massive barn; and the lovely light and reflecting farm pond in “Indian Hannah Morning.”

There’s a nice icy darkness in “Winter Camp,” with its dots of starlight and tiny hints of warmth in the gloom; and there’s a wonderful sense of light and space in the ocean vista “Coming In,” with its soaring sky and endless horizon.

‘Adjusting the Lights’

In contrast, there’s a warm summer light in “Grazing,” with the grazing cows depicted with the most sparing use of paint. “Coastline” is a fine shore view that makes the most of its small size.

And the small vertical view of an open barn door, titled “Enter,” spotlights the ruddy glow of the pumpkins inside very effectively.

Overall, there’s a strong sense of Chester County in the show – both in the subject matter and in the way Beam captures the rambling buildings and distinctive scenery of the region. There are moments that pop with distinctive light and warmth, making this show well worth a visit.

“Treats and Tricks” continues through Nov. 13 at the Chadds Ford Gallery (1609 Baltimore Pike, Chadds Ford). Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.
