ment of gowns in various styles and in all sizes, including plus-size options.

Most of the gowns have been donated; others were purchased by Donovan at local consignment stores and thrift shops.

Donovan said she came up with the idea to open the shop as a way for brides to spread the joy of their weddings through a unique form of recycling. “You enjoyed (the dress); you had the abundance to buy it and now you can offer it to someone else,” she said. She also noted that divorced women can donate their

All proceeds from gowns sold at the store will be used to purchase additional inventory and to finance the cost of running the shop.

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Exton will partner with Church Farm School (CFS) students and staff members to package meals for Rise Against Hunger on Saturday, Feb. 2, from 9:30 a.m. to noon.

The packaging event will be held in the school’s Founder’s Pavilion on Church Farm Lane, located next to St. Paul’s. The goal of the program is for 200 volunteers, working in shifts, to package 100,000 meals. Community members are invited to participate.

According to the Rev. Maxine Dornemann, St. Paul’s pastor, this is the second time that the church has joined CFS to hold a meal-packing event. The first event took place in the spring of 2018 in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of CFS, which is a private boarding and day school for boys in Exton.

“Last spring, they did 100,000 meals for their 100th anniversary. It was so wellreceived, and people had such a good time and felt so good about it,” Dornemann said.

The completed meals will be shipped to Rise Against Hunger’s international partners and distributed to those in need.

“Each individual added to the bag in an assembly line,” Dornemann explained. “(Each bag contained) rice, dried vegetables and (other ingredients). When it’s sent out to places where it’s needed, they

add water.”

In addition to CFS and St. Paul’s, other area churches are supporting the event through financial donations to purchase the meals, along with manpower to package them, including Bryn Mawr’s Church of the Redeemer, St. David’s Episcopal Church in Wayne, St. Mary’s Episcopal Church in Wayne, St. Peter’s Church in the Great Valley in Malvern and St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Exton, where CFS’ founder once served as rector.

In addition to the Rise Against Hunger event, St. Paul’s is hosting several ongoing programs that are open to the public.

St. Paul’s offers a quiet and meditative Celtic service on the fourth Wednesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. “It’s based on ancient prayers, and it has a lot of quiet in it and it is done by candlelight,” Dornemann explained. She added that there is no traditional sermon, but a brief reflection is offered by a lay person near the beginning of the service.

She said that the service has been well received not only by St. Paul’s parishioners, but by people from other churches in the area, as well as those with little or no religious background. All are welcome to attend the Celtic service and to receive Holy Communion. Refreshments are served after the service in the church’s Getman Hall.

St. Paul’s men’s Bible study meets on the first and third Saturdays of the month at 7:30 a.m. Each meeting starts with breakfast. Throughout the year, the group also holds SPUDS gatherings, which

encourage awareness of the issue of women and heart disease and also action to save more lives. In 2010, the AHA set a strategic goal of reducing death and disability from cardiovascular disease and strokes by 20 percent while improving the cardiovascular health of all Americans by 20 percent by the year 2020.

stands for St. Paul’s Uniting Dads Socially.

The goal is to provide opportunities for dads and other men to gather socially for fun fellowship, as well as alternate Bible study and activities.

The church’s monthly book club meets on the last Monday of the month at 7 p.m. The purpose of the group is for fellow Christians to share their thoughts and beliefs about books written by various authors.

Finally, the church offers a Frizzled Hens group that provides fellowship and support to mothers with children from infants through age 5. The group meets on the third Wednesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. “It’s a group of moms that get together for a night out,” Dornemann said. “They share stories and arrange playdates. We have some new moms who are able ask questions of the older moms.

It’s a support group and social group at the same time.”

St. Paul’s is located at 1105 E. Lincoln Highway (Business Route 30), Exton. For more information about any of the events listed, readers may call St. Paul’s at 610363-2363 or visit www.stpaulsexton.com.

STEM Academy, which is Downingtown Area School District’s science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) high school, where she also earned an international baccalaureate degree.

While attending high school, Cassidy joined the United States Army at age 17 and completed basic training at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., during the summer between her junior and senior years of high school. Upon graduation from high school, she traveled to Fort Sam Houston in Texas for Advanced Individual Training (AIT) with the Army and completed the demanding 16-week Army Combat Medic course.

While at Fort Sam Houston, Cassidy completed her certification as a Nationally Registered EMT (NREMT).

Cassidy joined the Glen Moore Fire Company at age 17 and has served as a volunteer EMT, exterior and interior firefighter and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) coordinator. She is fire company’s new EMS captain for 2019.

In 2018, she completed the rigorous Basic Fire Academy (Fire I) training at the Chester County Public Safety Training Campus. During the basic fire academy program, Cassidy also received certifications in Hazardous Materials Awareness, Hazardous Materials Operations, Exterior Firefighter, Support Firefighter and Interior Firefighter. In addition, she has certificates in International Trauma Life Support Cassidy Scheibe, 19, is a volunteer EMT and and International Pediatric Life Supfirefighter with the Glen Moore Fire Compa- port and CPR. Cassidy is a certified Emergency ny, Glenmoore.

Vehicle Operator and, along with the substantial number of Glen Moore Fire Company EMTs, responds with the company’s Quick Response Service (QRS) vehicle for all medical emergencies in Glen Moore’s coverage area. The QRS truck is vital in getting emergency medical care to patients in areas like Glenmoore where an ambulance may be too far away for a quick response to a medical emergency.

Cassidy is currently attending college locally while fulfilling her duties as an Army Combat Medic. She works for several local EMS services and continues to volunteer at the Glen Moore Fire Company. Her goal is to become a civilian paramedic.

“Volunteers like Cassidy Scheibe are making a difference in the communities that the Glen Moore Fire Company serves and are vital to keeping our communities safe,” said Jeffrey Seese, fire chief. “Without their middle-of-the-night responses and hundreds of hours of dedicated volunteer service, our community would not have the high level of public safety it now enjoys.”

Those interested in volunteering in their community may visit www.help fightfire.com, which is Chester County’s volunteer recruiting web page. Those who visit the website can learn about volunteer opportunities in their local communities.

Firefighter Spotlight will be a regular feature in the Community Courier. Local fire companies that wish to submit a photo and biography of one of their members can email ffulton@engleonline.com.

Poster Contest from pg 1

By Francine Fulton

“Plein Air Day at Yellow Springs” by artist Christopher Lanser has been chosen by the 2019 Historic Yellow Springs (HYS) Art Show committee as the winner of its 2019 poster competition. The winning acrylic will be featured on all of the promotional materials for the 2019 HYS Art Show, including invitations, note cards, billboards and flyers.

Plein air is the 19th-century style of painting outdoors in the open air. “Plein Air Day at Yellow Springs” is designed to capture the energy of all the happenings in the village. It depicts artists painting outdoors, as well as visitors to the village, including children, and old-time cars and trucks. There is even a school bus from the Bacton Hill Art Guild included in the painting.

According Karen Walter, HYS executive director, this was the 15th year that the competition has determined the design of the HYS Art Show poster. The competition was open to all of the participating 2019 HYS Art Show artists, with nearly 30 artists submitting pieces.

Walter noted that the only criterion given to artists was that the subject matter must include some reference to Historic Yellow Springs. This could include any part of the village, the grounds, the people or the history. “(Artists) were not limited in what they could do. There were people who did oils, and some did acrylic,” she

explained. “One artist (submitted) decoupage.”

The 2019 HYS Art Show will open with a gala reception on Friday, April 26, where Lanser’s original painting will be sold by silent auction. The art show will then be open free to the public daily from Saturday, April 27, through Sunday, May 12. The 46th annual juried show will showcase more than 200 artists.

In order to promote the show, Walter added that she is excited to announce that information about the art show will be featured on a billboard in Times Square in New York City on April 26. “We will get thirty 15-second spots,” she said.

“We want to send someone up there to take a photo.”

Walter was named the executive director of HYS in October of 2018.

“When I first started, I did not know all of the things that Historic Yellow Springs had to offer, let alone the incredible history that spans over 300 years,” she stated.

HYS is steward to 142 acres and 11 of the 16 structures comprising the 1722 historic village of Yellow Springs. According to www.yellowsprings.org, archaeological evidence suggests that Native Americans first used the iron-rich “yellow” spring water many years ago, which is how the village got its name.

In the 18th century, Yellow Springs became a fashionable spa village. People believed that drinking and bathing in the water had healing qualities. During the

American Revolution, the health spa aspect of the village ended. George Washington commissioned a hospital to be built in the village, which was the first military hospital in North America.

Washington himself visited on numerous occasions.

Following the war, the village returned to being a spa town during the early 19th century. The Chester Springs Soldiers’ Orphan School, originally for children of Civil War soldiers, was located in the village from 1868 to 1912. From 1916 to 1952, the village housed the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts Country School. From 1952 until 1974, the village was the home of Good News Productions, a film studio that created more than 400 films, including the sci-fi classic “The Blob,” filmed in Phoenixville.

Historic Yellow Springs Inc. was founded as a nonprofit organization in 1974 with the mission “to share, preserve and celebrate the unique living village of Yellow Springs.” Since its formation, HYS has preserved many of the original structures.

HYS is headquartered at 1685 Art School Road, Chester Springs. For more information, readers may visit the website or call 610-827-7414.

Chester County OIC from pg 1 remarks.

“Chester County OIC is proud to return to the city of Coatesville. We are happy to celebrate the organization’s 40th anniversary in the community where we began,” said Joyce Chester, CEO of the nonprofit organization, noting that this the first time that the OIC has owned its own building.

The OIC plans to renovate the space to accommodate all of its programs, which include a GED testing center, English as a Second Language classes, Certified Nurse Assistant training and the SOAR Re-entry program, which offers services to young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 who have been involved in the criminal justice system. Funding for these programs is provided by grants from the Department of Labor and Pennsylvania Department of Education.

During the ceremony, Chester honored the pioneer responsible for founding the OIC Centers of America in Philadelphia in 1964.

“Sometimes when you have a dream, it takes a village to make it come true,” she stated. “Today we celebrate a dream come true when a consummate dreamer made a significant impact on America and the world. I’m talking about a Baptist minister, a civil rights and social activist - the Rev. Dr. Leon Sullivan - who focused on the creation of job training opportunities for African-Americans, the poor and the disenfranchised.”

She noted that Sullivan was a mentor of Martin Luther King Jr. “What better day to dedicate this building?” she asked those in attendance at the ceremony, which was held on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. “Thanks to all of you here today that are sharing in this momentous occasion in our history.”

The Chester County OIC held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the grand opening of its new headquarters, located at 22 N. Fifth Ave., Coatesville.

Chester thanked all those who made the move possible, including state Sen. Andy Dinniman; the OIC board of directors, led by Gary Hess, board chair; Coatesville Area Senior Center, including executive director Bill Pierce; OIC of America, the parent affiliate of the Chester County chapter; and OIC staff members. “They rolled up their sleeves, cleaned floors and walls and bathrooms and were wonderful in making this our new home,” Chester said.

She also credited members of the Coatesville City Council, who voted to approve the opening; the West Chester Sunrise Rotary Club, which helped with the move; the Coatesville Police Department; the West Chester Area School District and Calvary Lutheran Church, both of which provided space for OIC students in West Chester who could not attend programs at

the Coatesville location; and community partners such as Good Samaritan Services, New Life in Christ Fellowship, Bridge of Hope, the Western Chester County Chamber of Commerce, the Coatesville Youth Initiative, Life Transforming Ministries and the Brandywine Health Foundation.

Also offering remarks during the ceremony were Hess, who praised his fellow board members for their efforts; James Haynes, president of OIC of America; Dr. Clifford DeBaptiste, who spoke of his friendship with Sullivan; Linda Lavender Norris, president of the Coatesville City Council; and the Rev. Dr. Wayne Croft Sr., pastor of St. Paul’s Baptist Church, who offered a prayer.

Volunteers from pg 1 pens and other writing materials. “We also included resource information, which was very important,” McNeil said, noting that the materials contained information about local service providers.

The backpacks were given out at shelters in Coatesville, including the Atkinson Center, City Gate Mission and Community, Youth, and Women’s Alliance (CYWA). McNeil pointed out that backpacks were also scheduled to be given to homeless individuals not at the shelters. However, she noted, there were no men or women visible on the street that appeared to be homeless.

Additional backpacks were given to the Department of Community Development to distribute as needed.

McNeil said that one volunteer from Philadelphia arrived close to the end of the event because he wanted to complete a volunteer activity before the end of the day. “We were pleased to provide him with 15 backpacks that he will give homeless individuals that often approach his car at traffic lights,” she noted. “He was absolutely delighted, as we were to expand our reach on the day of service.”

During the event, pastor Eric Robertson from Forward Impact Ministries provided an overview of the origin and purpose of MLK Day of Service and a prayer of blessing for the recipient of each bag.

McNeil said the event would not have been possible without the cooperation and partnership between the Atkinson Center and a wealth of community members, organizations, clubs and members of the faith community.

In addition to those already mentioned, those who contributed items or donated their time during the day included the following: Allegheny East Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, Bell Chapel True Holiness Church, Chester County Department of Drug and Alcohol Services, City of Coatesville staff members, Coatesville and West Chester Seventh-day Adventist churches, Delaware Valley Ministerial of Seventh-day Adventists, Greater Deliverance Church, Health Partners, Holy Tabernacle Church of God in Christ, Judah Ministries Church of God in Christ, Ministerial Alliance and Set Free

by The Word Ministries.

Police Academy from pg 1 making it to the Delaware County campus in time for roll call at 5:45 p.m. Their classes took place from 6 to 10 p.m.

Holmes said she arrived back home in time to put her sons to bed. Additionally, Holmes also experienced difficulty with the schedule during the firearms training, as participants had to add full Saturdays and Sundays to their schedules for six weeks.

For Gonzalez, a Navy veteran who joined the Sheriff’s Office in April 2011, the physical training and the firearms instruction presented the biggest hurdles. She noted that she and Holmes were the oldest members of their class, and sometimes keeping up with younger classmates proved a bit intimidating.

In addition, Gonzalez, who grew up in Delaware County and attended Haverford High School and Millersville State College, had to call up distant memories.

For example, she had not used a firearm in more than three decades.

Besides receiving periodic boosts from one another as well as colleagues in the Sheriff’s Office, both cadets benefited from personal support systems.

Holmes credited her mother and sons, and Gonzalez praised her pastor and members of her church, Saints Memorial Baptist Church in Bryn Mawr.

When graduation time approached, Gonzalez and Holmes learned that if they were employed by a law-enforcement agency, their boss could participate in the ceremony. Welsh was in attendance at the ceremony to present Gonzalez’s and Holmes’ diplomas.

Cpl. Brad DeSando was one of the cheering members of the Sheriff’s Office at the graduation. The security force supervisor, he said he is losing two stellar officers, but he also expressed pride in Gonzalez’s and Holmes’ achievements.

The Chester County Sheriff’s Office has announced that it was scheduled to add two deputy sheriffs to the roster in January. The new deputy sheriffs are Marjorie V. Gonzalez and Deborah A. Holmes.

Chester County Sheriff Carolyn Bunny Welsh recently recalled the day about a year and a half ago when security officers Marjorie V. Gonzalez and Deborah A. Holmes requested a meeting with her.

They explained that they had been discussing the possibility of attending Delaware County Community College’s Police Academy. If they pursued the parttime program, they could continue as security officers during the yearlong curriculum.

At the end, they would graduate with Act 120 certification, which is mandated by Pennsylvania to work as a police officer.

The certification was the lone requirement preventing the two from moving up the ranks and becoming deputy sheriffs.

Welsh encouraged Gonzalez and Holmes and brought in the chief and lieutenants to offer additional encouragement.

Holmes said the seeds of the plan date back to March 2014 when she began working in the Sheriff’s Office. A longtime friend who was working as a deputy immediately suggested that Holmes attend the police academy, but at the time, the single mother said her plate was full. In addition to caring for her two sons, Holmes was providing assistance to her father, who was seriously ill.

But Holmes, a Coatesville High School graduate who studied criminal justice at West Chester University, said her friend’s urgings did not stop. When a colleague in the Sheriff’s Office security force enrolled in the academy in 2017, Holmes regularly asked him questions about his experiences in the program.

The answers helped Holmes make up her mind in the summer of 2018, secure in the knowledge that she would be fulfilling a wish for her that her late father had often expressed. At the time, she did not know that Gonzalez once had the same ambition.

Gonzalez said that hearing Holmes announce her goal reignited her own aspirations. Gonzalez said that the thought of having company at the academy appealed to her.

Welsh said one of the most inspiring components of Holmes and Gonzalez’s journey was the pair’s teamwork, and the duo’s commitment, perseverance, and dedication inspired others in the office. Welsh added that the training regimen produced a variety of obstacles.

Both Holmes and Gonzalez found the schedule grueling. After putting in a full day at the Chester County Justice Center, they fought rush-hour traffic, often just

Conservancy Receives Acquisition Grant The Brandywine Conservancy has been awarded a $1.5 million grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) to be used toward the acquisition of a 569acre natural area along the Octoraro Creek in Lower Oxford and West Nottingham townships in Chester County. The area is a portion of the 952-acre Glenroy Farm property that spans Chester and Lancaster counties.

The Conservancy’s ultimate goal is to work with the landowner to permanently protect the entire property through purchase and agricultural easements. The $1.5 million from DCNR will be used to match an already approved multiyear $3 million grant from the Chester County Preservation Partnership Program.

Eventually, the goal is for the

569-acre natural area to be transferred to and managed by the Oxford Area Foundation (OAF). OAF will manage it as a passive preserve with 5 miles of trails mostly along the Octoraro Creek. Once completed, the project will help create 6,739 acres of contiguous preserved lands in the Octoraro watershed, according to director Ellen Ferretti.

The Brandywine Conservancy also assisted the landowner in applying for and securing agricultural preservation funding to preserve the 220 acres of farmland on the property.

The Brandywine Conservancy is seeking additional funds to meet the acquisition price, with a desired completion by 2021 for the remaining lands in Chester County and an additional 156 acres of farmland along the Octoraro Creek in Lancaster County.
