Beaver Creek Offers WATCH D.O.G.S. Program Meet The “Heroes Of The Hallways”

By Francine Fulton

Offering an extra set of eyes and ears, providing fatherly role models, preventing bullying and affording fathers an opportunity to spend time with their children are some of the benefits of the WATCH D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) program that is taking place for the first time this year at Beaver Creek Elementary School.

As part of the program, fathers are asked to volunteer for one full day at the Downingtown school, where they will take part in various tasks such as helping the teachers in the classrooms, patrolling the hallways, monitoring recess activities and more.

Fathers who are taking part in the program at Beaver Creek, as well as prospective volunteers, were welcome to enjoy treats and beverages with their children during a Donuts With Dad event on Jan. 8. Dr. Dawn Lawless, See Beaver Creek pg 2

WATCH D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) is an educational initiative that asks fathers to spend a day at their child’s school as part of an effort to enhance school security and demonstrate to students the importance of parents being involved in their education. Program participants have been nicknamed “Heroes of the Hallways.”

At Beaver Creek Elementary School in Downingtown, approximately 50 fathers have participated in the program since it was instituted last fall.

Among the volunteers is Mike Stone, who was named the Top Dog coordinator for the WATCH D.O.G.S. program See “Heroes Of The Hallways” pg 5

Donuts With Dad was held on Jan. 8 at Beaver Creek Elementary School for participants in the WATCH D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) program and their children. As part of the program, fathers volunteer at the school for a full day, performing duties such as helping out at recess and lunch time and performing security checks. Attendees at the breakfast included Dan Kershner (right) and his children, Kailey (left) and Daniel Kershner.

principal, welcomed those in attendance and explained the WATCH D.O.G.S. program. “WATCH D.O.G.S. is an innovative program being used by schools across America which helps them to be positively impacted by the committed involvement of father and father figures,� she stated. “This is your chance to have special time with your student in a fun atmosphere at school.� She noted that the program is open to dads, uncles, stepdads, grandfathers and adult brothers. “We had about 50 dads who came to our Pizza Night in the fall for WATCH D.O.G.S., and we were excited to have 50 dads start us off for the program,� Lawless reported. “I was

pleasantly surprised to see that we have 50 more new dads signed up for the second half the school year. Right now, we have about 100 fathers signed up for this incredible program.�

She explained to the fathers that a typical day for a volunteer begins with a security check of the building. “You will welcome kids in the morning, do an entire perimeter door check and make sure all the doors are secure,� she said. “Then you rotate among different classes, starting with your own children’s classroom. We try to get you into your child’s Encore classes, which include phys ed, library, art and music. “The middle chunk of the day about two hours - is helping out in the cafeteria and at recess,�

she continued. “At the end of the day, you do a computer checkout survey and help with dismissal.�

She noted that dads and their children are featured on “BC Live,� the morning news program, and they are photographed for the “Wall of Dads� poster located in the school lobby.

She noted that fathers are also given free time during the day to check their email or phone messages and connect with their offices or businesses.

She also provided some rules, such as not using bad language, not discussing politics or controversial subjects and being aware of classroom rules. “We want you to be fun and have fun but take the lead from the teacher. He or she will give you some guidelines. That will

vary from teacher to teacher,� said Lawless. “Basically, just be available and be a positive role model.�

Following the presentation, fathers who were not already involved with the program were asked to complete clearance forms and then sign up for a time slot.

According to www.dadsofgreat students.com, WATCH D.O.G.S. is a program that began at one school in Springdale, Ark., in 1998 and has since grown nationwide. The WATCH D.O.G.S. program has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, among other organizations.

Citizen Survey Results Posted

JOINT PAIN SEMINAR

As part of the formal review of Chester County’s strategic plan, Chester County commissioners recently announced the results of a citizen survey, undertaken as part of the review process for the strategic plan’s next five years. Results of the Chester County Quality of Life Survey, conducted by West Chester University’s Center for Social and Economic Policy Research during September, are based on a random sample of 1,256 responses, evenly represented from all areas of Chester County. The results provide a comparison to the citizens’ surveys undertaken in 2009 and 2013, which helped form the basis of the commissioners’ strategic plan goals.

In 2018, residents continue to give Chester County high ratings in terms of it being an excellent or good place to raise a family (94 percent) and nine out of 10 (91 percent) rate it as an excellent or good place to obtain a good education. The survey reported a significant increase in those who found the county an “excellent or good� place to find a good job (moving from 62 percent in 2013 to 79 percent in 2018).

describing Chester County as a better place to live increased from 25 percent in 2013 to 33 percent in 2018. Open space, scenery, and rural areas continue to be noted by respondents as the best thing about life in Chester County, and this year’s survey highlighted “maintenance of water quality� and “providing quality services while maintaining low taxes� as the two most important issues facing Chester County.

For questions about the importance of issues facing Chester County, the top three results stating “most important or one of the most important� were maintaining the quality of water (83 percent), providing quality services while maintaining low taxes (81 percent), and the preservation of open space (77 percent). The issue of growth and land development in the county (55 percent) moved up in importance from the 2013 survey level of 42 percent.

As in the two previous surveys, emergency services and the 911 system remain the most important services available to Chester County residents. Eighty-five percent of survey respondents claimed that emergency services and the 911 system are “ very

important� (up from 81 percent in 2013), and 77 percent confirmed that they would be very willing or somewhat willing to pay more county taxes for emergency services and the 911 system (up from 71 percent in 2013).

In addition to “quality of life� questions, the citizen survey addresses the performance of county employees. Of all residents surveyed in 2018, 38 percent indicated that they had contact with county employees in the past 12 months. Residents who rated employee responsiveness as “excellent� continued to increase - from 40 percent in 2009 to 48 percent in 2013 to 50 percent in 2018.

County employee courteousness was rated as excellent or good by nine out of 10 respondents.

When asked what kind of job the county is doing in specific areas, the 2018 survey noted that 86 percent of respondents believe that the county is doing an excellent or good job at maintaining county parks, followed by ensuring public safety (82 percent) and preventing epidemics or public health hazards (81 percent).

Most recently, members of the post participated in the Wreaths Across America event at Hopewell United Methodist Church on Dec. 15, 2018. Following a ceremony in the church recognizing the various branches of the military, post members joined Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts and members of the community to place wreaths on

the graves of veterans.

“We are involved in various Scout troops, plus we sponsor the Diamond Dogs, the Downingtown Legion baseball team,” noted Wimer.

Post 475 awards college scholarships to one student from each Downingtown High School East and West, presents school medals to eighth-grade students selected by their teachers as good citizens and sponsors a student to attend Keystone Boys State, a good citizenship training program.

The American Legion, with a motto of “Still Serving America,” is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2019. “We are in the planning stages of doing something special this year,” said Wimer.

Atglen Church from pg 1 cemetery in 1890. The chapel is still used for funeral services and special events.

After a series of pastors through the years, Atglen Missionary Baptist Church’s most recent leader was the Rev. Charles Montgomery, who served at the church until June of 2018. “The membership had dwindled, and the church (closed its doors) in June,” said Yates. “On Nov. 4, we began meeting again.”

She noted that church member Carson Arnold spearheaded the effort to reopen the church.

“He went to Nottingham Missionary Baptist Church to ask (pastor) Michael Moore if there was a way to reopen the church,” Yates related. “They were very instrumental in helping their sister church. Michael Moore sought out Joe Newsome, an evangelist and supply pastor, to help us out until a permanent pastor can be found. The Rev. Newsome is not the permanent pastor, but he is willing to stay as long as we need him.”

Yates said that the current church congregation is composed of new members and those who attended the church prior to its closing, including her and her husband, Ernest. “We attended there years and years ago, so we have come back to help,” she said.

With the exception of stainedglass windows that were added in the 1970s, the church building has remained unchanged since it

By Francine Fulton

After being closed for several months last summer, congregation members at Atglen Missionary Baptist Church have announced that the church has reopened. The church, located at Main and Dallas streets in Atglen, is now holding Sunday services at 11 a.m. The worship leader is the Rev. Joe Newsome.

According to church member Dora Yates of East Fallowfield, the historic church was built in 1858. “The church was started by Hephzibah Baptist Church in the 1800s as Glen Run Baptist Church,” she explained. “In 1858, they vacated the church where Glen Run Cemetery is located and built the present building in the town of Atglen.”

The vacated church building at Glen Run slowly deteriorated and was later taken down. A chapel was built at the entrance to the

They were just frosted windows before that.”

All are welcome to attend the 11 a.m. services, which feature music, Scripture readings and prayer. “We have an organ and a piano but no one to play them, so everything is a cappella,” Yates said. “We open with song, then we have prayer and an offering.

Pastor Joe then brings the sermon. His sermon is based on the Scripture we read that day.”

She said future plans call for the church to have a choir and possibly add more services. “As

the church grows, we will open early for Sunday school and have mid-week services and Sunday night services,” she said, adding, “Pastor Joe announced that on April 10 through 14 we will have a five-day revival meeting with special singing each night and concluding on April 14 with Communion (at the Sunday service).”

There is no cost to businesses to obtain a permit. Under the law, businesses in Pennsylvania need to take the online permit training and exam and receive a permit for their vehicles. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture continues its work to contain and minimize the spread of the spotted lanternfly while also keeping commerce flowing in Pennsylvania.

In November 2017, 13 Pennsylvania counties - Berks, Bucks, Carbon, Chester, Delaware, Lancaster, Lebanon, Lehigh, Monroe, Montgomery, Northampton, Philadelphia, and Schuylkill were placed under quarantine to help stop the spread of the spotted lanternfly. States with spotted lanternfly populations are also required to follow the permit requirements for Pennsylvania. This will help prevent the movement of the pest from other states into Pennsylvania.

The spotted lanternfly permit training teaches business owners, managers, and designated employees how to comply with the quarantine - an important legal designation to help stop the spread of spotted lanternfly - to ensure each of their employees are complying with the law. The quarantine order directs businesses, residents, and county authorities to follow guidelines to

prevent the movement of the certain articles that contain any living stages of the spotted lanternfly, including egg masses, nymphs, and adults such as logs, stumps, or any tree parts; nursery stock; crated materials; and trucks or vehicles not stored indoors.

By investing time and personnel to inspect vehicles to safeguard against transporting insects, people can help to ensure this pest does not reach farther beyond those counties that are already quarantined.

As part of the spotted lanternfly quarantine agreement beginning on Wednesday, May 1, The Department’s Bureau of Plant Industry will begin to perform inspections and verification checks to confirm that businesses are properly permitted. Failure to take the permit exam and educate employees could result in possible penalties and fines.

The permit training and testing can be accessed through Penn State Extension by visiting https://extension .psu.edu/spotted-lanternfly -permit-training. For information regarding permitting, readers may contact slfpermit @pa.gov.

Throughout the year, the Honey Brook Food Pantry provides food for those in need throughout the Twin Valley community. In December 2018, families served by the pantry were also presented with winter outerwear and toys in time for Christmas. In addition, clients received turkeys and fixings for their holiday dinners.

According to Ken Ross, the pantry’s board chairman, coats were available during three distribution days in December. The garments were donated through coat drives held at Hopewell United Methodist Church in Downingtown, St. Peter Catholic Church in West Brandywine and the Westtown-East Goshen Regional Police Department.

“Most of the coats were new, and some were gently used,” Ross said, noting that more than 150

coats were given out.

In addition, clients of the pantry received hats, scarves and gloves that were donated by residents of the Tel Hai Retirement Community in Honey Brook and the LifeGroup at East Brandywine Baptist Church in Downingtown.

Gift stockings and 600 toys provided by individuals, a local business and the Toys for Tots program were also made available on the three distribution days for families served by the pantry. Ross noted that about 550 toys were given out in December. The remaining 50 toys were available to clients during the Jan. 9 distribution. “All the toys were new,” he pointed out.

The turkeys were distributed on Dec. 2, 2018. Young women from the Pegasus Fastpitch Softball team of Exton provided assistance in packing the holiday food boxes.

“Our regular food assortment was greatly enhanced as 251 turkeys

were distributed (along with the toys and coats) - all making for a happier holiday season for those we serve,” said Ross.

Ross recently issued his yearend report for the pantry, noting that December’s distribution was the largest one to date.

“Although we saw some slight reductions in need at times throughout 2018 and more local families achieving food independence, those seeking help in December exceeded any other time in our five-year history,” Ross stated.

According to the report, a total of 1,450 individuals were served through nearly 500 family visits in 2018, which represents a 10 percent increase in the number of families served and 160 more

Clients served by the Honey Brook Food Pantry were provided with winter coats, along with hats, scarves and gloves, during December 2018. Families also received holiday dinners that included a turkey, as well as new toys for their children.

A total of 600 brand-new toys were donated to the Honey Brook Food Pantry.

The toys were given to families served by the pantry in time for Christmas.

people. “In all, over 20,000 pounds of food passed through the pantry,” Ross reported.

Ross credited the local organizations, churches and individual donors for their generosity in providing the children’s items, holiday food items and coats. He also thanked the volunteers for their efforts. “Although you do it all year long, the work this December seemed extra special, and without the donation of your time, there is no Honey Brook Food Pantry,” he told them.

Ross added that goals for the pantry in 2019 include offering more initiatives that promote food independence, offering access to employment resources and developing a nutrition program for children under age 3.

The pantry is located at Door 8 at the Good Food Inc. Distribution Center, 5064 Horseshoe Pike, Honey Brook (across from Wimpy and Dee’s Diner). Distributions are held on the second Wednesday of each month from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the fourth Wednesday of the month from 4 to 6:30 pm.

into categories such as sports, history, decorating, self-help, cookbooks and parenting. “ We’ve broken everything down into smaller categories, and everything is alphabetized within its section,” she explained. “In sports, for example, there is basketball, golf, hunting and fishing. Even fiction is broken down into mystery, romance and classics, (among other sections).”

She noted that the store also offers books of local interest, coffee table books and largeprint books. Additionally, there is a children’s section where the books are also alphabetized. In the children’s area, visitors will find a checkers game and a miniature couch where children can read while their parents shop. “ We have to be organized.

This way, we can help people find the books they are looking for,” Fletcher-Moore stated. “You can put in a request for a book. If a book comes in through donations, we will call and tell you and you can come pick it up.”

Fletcher-Moore noted that the store is always seeking book donations. The public is invited to donate new or used books in good condition. Books are accepted on Mondays through Fridays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

In addition to offering convenient shopping, the bookstore also promotes reading by offering monthly specials and “Wacky Wednesday” sales promotions.

For January, all diet and health books are 50 percent off. “I work with the other volunteers to (establish) a theme,” FletcherMoore said, noting the that theme is reflected in the store’s

two front window displays. “The theme in February will (revolve around) Valentine’s Day. We might offer pink books for sale.”

She also noted that a bag sale is offered daily at the bookstore.

For a fee, shoppers can fill a bag of books; bags are provided.

“I sell over 20,000 books a year. We get at least 40 to 50 boxes of donations a week,” Fletcher-Moore pointed out, noting that the most popular sellers are cookbooks and trade-size fiction titles, which are larger-size books. “We have new arrivals that we put up in front in hardback and paperback. These are books that people have read once and then donated to us.”

“This is our ninth year in this store,” she added. “Second Reading I is on Church Street in West Chester, and they have been around for more than 25 years.”

Fletcher-Moore said that the success of Second Reading II, which opened nine years ago, is thanks to the hard-working

volunteers. “Without the volunteers, it wouldn’t run as smoothly. They sort, shelve and work with the customers,” she said. “Most of them are retirees; they range in age from about 55 to close to 90. I also have younger people - high school and college students who do volunteer hours as well.”

Fletcher-Moore believes that many people still prefer reading a book rather than a tablet or ereader. “Even with all the electronics, (reading) is coming back,” she said. “People are reading, and they are reading to their children. It’s a nice thing to see for the community.”

The Second Reading II Bookstore is located in the Parkway Shopping Center, 929 S. High St., West Chester. For more information, including volunteer opportunities, readers may call 610-4312117 or visit www.wcseniors.org/ second-reading-ii-book-store or www.facebook.com/wcsecond book2.

Benner explained that his wife, Julie, is a teacher at Shamona Creek Elementary School in the Downingtown Area School District, where the WATCH D.O.G.S. program has been existence for a number of years “From a teacher’s standpoint, they love it,” he stated. “(My wife) is excited when there is a WATCH D.O.G. in her class.”

Parent John Wood said that volunteering with the program had an unexpected benefit. “Not only do you connect with your See “Heroes Of The Hallways” pg 6

at Beaver Creek. He recently addressed a roomful of fathers during a Donuts With Dad program held at the school.

“Who out of everyone here thinks that they don’t get to spend enough time with their kids during the week?” asked Stone, to which nearly every father in attendance raised his hand. “I felt the same way, too,” he said.

Stone explained that he has taken part in the program for two days so far this school year.

“The two days I spent here with my child were the best days of my life - being able to come here and hang out with my kid (was important),” he said. “I recommend it to all of you. If you can get a day off work, come be here.

We need to be here. They need us.”

Overcoming Workout Boredom Even the most ardent fitness enthusiasts sometimes lack the motivation to exercise. Various factors, including boredom with a fitness regimen, can affect one’s motivation to hit the gym. In instances when boredom is difficult to overcome, men and women who want to stay in shape can try the following strategies: -Join a sports league. A workout does not have to be limited to the weight room or the cardiovascular area of a local gym. If one’s motivation to work out is waning, a competitive sports league may be the answer. Many fitness facilities even offer sports leagues for adults on their premises or at nearby parks.

Sports such as racquetball, soc-

cer, boxing, and mixed martial arts provide ample exercise and opportunities to meet other fitness-minded people. If games or competitions only take place once or twice a week, individuals can supplement their participation with more traditional workouts on off-days.

-Take along an electronic tablet.

Many fitness facilities now include WiFi internet access with the cost of a membership. People can take their electronic tablets with them to the gym to watch a television show or movie while burning calories during the cardiovascular portions of their workouts.

-Periodically change the regimen. It can be easy for people to get bored with a workout if they

are always doing the same repetitive exercises. Individuals may ask a personal trainer at their gym for some advice on how to switch things up and still meet their fitness goals.

-Set new goals. Boredom with a workout regimen sometimes creeps in because people have achieved their initial fitness goals and have not set new ones. Once people have achieved a goal, they should set new ones so they have a new carrot dangling on the end of their stick, so to speak.

Nearly everyone encounters workout boredom at one point another. Various strategies can help individuals overcome such a malaise and reinvigorate their enthusiasm for exercising.

500th Preserved Farm from pg 1 Chester County recently signed contracts on the preservation of its 500th farm, bringing the total number of farm acres preserved in the county to just under 40,000. In total, more than 136,000 acres - 28 percent - of land in Chester County has been preserved since the beginning of its open space preservation program in 1989.

The recently preserved 109-acre

farm, owned by Gerald and Cindy Rohrer, is located in Upper Oxford and West Fallowfield townships. It has been a family farm since 1966, when Gerald’s parents took it on as dairy farm. Over the years, the farm changed to raising heifers before moving to crop farming.

Gerald, the youngest of five children, and Cindy took over the farm in 2001, and today the Rohrers grow corn for livestock consumption, hay for the equine industry and mulch hay for the mushroom industry. The family also runs a small sideline business of trucking for agriculture haulage.

Chester County’s Agricultural Preservation program began in 1989 when the resolution was adopted. The first farm was preserved in Newlin Township in 1990, and over the years, the county has contributed more than $106 million toward farmland preservation.

Farm preservation in Chester County is based on an agricultural conservation easement.

Farms that are 10 acres or more are eligible if they are adjacent to permanently preserved land.

Farms not adjacent to permanently preserved land must be a minimum of 50 acres for the state/county program and 25 acres in size for the Municipal Challenge Grant program.

Chester County farm owners may review the eligibility requirements for preservation by visiting http://www.chesco.org/1368/ Farm-Programs-Overview. The deadline for applications is Aug. 1 of each year.

Oates Joins Honor Society “Heroes Of The Hallways” from pg 5 own child, it was a pleasure to get to work with other students,” Wood stated. “I got to connect with some really special kids that were really receptive of the time and effort you put into it.

“Bring plenty of coffee,” he added with a smile. “By noon, I was ready for my second cup.”

Tim Robb, who is the parent of a third-grade student at Beaver Creek, said that the program is beneficial to both the students and the dads. “I

kept thinking I was going to do be doing something for the school - help out and instill some positive role modeling.

But what I gave to these kids I got back 10-fold,” Robb remarked. “I can see why people go into teaching. I thought I was doing this program for them, but it became a program for myself. It was very rewarding.

“If you can get the day off work, there is no better way to spend a day,” he added.

Deputies Discover Connection Two Chester County deputy sheriffs recently realized they had crossed paths years earlier.

Deputy Sheriff Keith Neiswender and Deputy Sheriff Howard “Larry” Sipple met each other earlier this year when they joined the Chester County Sheriff’s Office at the same time, the culmination of a somewhat circuitous journey to West Chester. Neiswender had been working for the Berks County Sheriff’s Office, and Sipple had been employed by the Caln Township Police Department. But it was their earlier military service that prompted a startling discovery: In 1991 and 1992, they both served on the USS America.

The revelation took a couple of weeks to surface. After being hired as deputies, the pair got to know each other during 13 weeks of field training. During that time, they maintained the same schedules and often ran into each other in the parking garage. One day, Sipple did a double-take when he saw “VF-102” on the side of Neiswender’s vehicle.

Sipple said he knew immediately that Neiswender had served on the USS America because the VF-102 squadron was a sister squadron to his own, the VF-33.

When he shared that information with Neiswender, he learned that they had both been deployed to the aircraft carrier during its 1991 to 1992 cruise. Neiswender, who

had the decal custom-made, said he never imagined the connection it would forge. He also said that, though he has had countless chats with others over the years about his military service, the conversation with Sipple was the first one prompted by the logo.

Neither deputy can remember interacting directly on the warship, but the USS America’s average population is 5,000. During the deputies’ deployment, the USS America was focused on the Persian Gulf during the onset of Desert Storm. Sipple was responsible for working to test equipment for the F14 Tomcat and several other aircraft that operated on the ship. Neiswender was assigned to ensuring that the aircraft were loaded with the appropriate firepower.

The epiphany about the deputies’ Navy connection came at a time when colleagues in the Sheriff’s Office were experiencing some trouble telling them apart. According to Sipple, he and Neiswender look similar and joined the Sheriff’s Office at the same time. Compounding the difficulty, a change in personnel delayed the delivery of the deputies’ nametags. When the IDs finally arrived, the pair briefly considered switching them to continue confounding their co-workers, but their less-prankish sides prevailed.

A custom-made Navy decal prompted a revelation that the two Chester County deputy sheriffs had served on the same military ship in 1991 and 1992.
