It’s for the students, but we also see our faculty and staff really enjoy it, too.” Additionally, the program offers opportunities for students to learn more about dog rescue, and they are invited to pick up a brochure about TLC. “It brings awareness to dogs that need homes,” said Gallo. “We’ve had multiple dogs adopted by staff members - at least five or six in the past year. Students have also been able to connect with To Love A Canine about volunteer opportunities, which has been great as well.” Tracy Long, executive director of TLC, said the school visits are beneficial for the students as well as the dogs. “The students get a stress release, and the dogs and puppies get socialized and

Coventry Elementary School, as well as several Owen J. Roberts school board directors and retired West Vincent staff members. Three sixth-grade students described what West Vincent Elementary means to them, and the hourlong program concluded with singing and dancing. “The National Blue Ribbon Award is a well-deserved recognition to our staff, students and every family that has been a part of West Vincent Elementary School,” said Edward J. Smith, principal. “Additionally, the National Blue Ribbon Award is recognizing not just West Vincent, but the entire Owen J. Roberts School District.” Dr. Susan Lloyd, Owen J.

growing number of public school programs. In May, students from the Twin Valley and Owen J. Roberts school districts will visit the site for interpretive programs. The site is also undergoing various restoration projects. “This year, since we have basically completed our wheelwright shop, we are working on furnishing that shop so it’s open for our interpretive festival in September,” Zerr said. Volunteers are always needed at the historic site. Volunteer opportunities include grounds maintenance, painting, gardening, history-related activities, food-related tasks and event planning and prep. “Volunteers work at keeping the Joanna Furnace property beautiful and maintained, lead school group tours and educate the public about our local history at our fall events,” Flora added. Reservations for the Valentine’s breakfast buffet are not required. There will be separate admission prices for adults and children ages 5 to 11. Children under age 5 may eat for free.

Hay Creek Valley Historical Association (HCVHA) will present the 13th annual Valentine’s Day breakfast buffet at Historic Joanna Furnace Iron Works, 1250 Furnace Road, Geigertown, on Saturday, Feb. 15, from 7 a.m. to noon. The all-you-can-eat buffet will include fresh country sausage, carved baked ham, scrapple, bacon, creamed chipped beef, scrambled eggs, pancakes, French toast, hash browns, fruit sauce and beverages. The traditional items will be complemented by Valentine’sthemed food such as chocolatecovered strawberries, whipped hot chocolate and pancakes with chocolate chips. “The strawberries are really popular. Our volunteers will be making them on the Friday before the breakfast,” said Mark Zerr, HCVHA executive director. “We’re also going to be selling them for people to take home.” During the breakfast, diners will be able to listen to romantic and festive acoustic music by Phyllis Hummel of Denver, who has been performing for more than 20 years throughout the tricounty area. While an iron plantation may not typically be considered a romantic setting, the site was
home to L. Heber Smith, the last Joanna Furnace Iron Works ironmaster, and his bride, Ella Jane “Jennie” Grubb of Lancaster. “One hundred fifty years ago L. Heber Smith and Ella Jane were in love and in March of 1870 the newlywed couple were expecting the birth of their first child,” noted Juliana Flora, who was named HCVHA president on Jan. 1. Flora is a Smith family descendent. The upcoming breakfast will begin the 2020 event season calendar at Joanna Furnace. The next event will be an Irish breakfast buffet on Saturday, March 21. On Thursday, March 26, there will be a chicken potpie sale. “March and April are also our interpretive training months, where basically we have different workshops where the general public can learn the history of Joanna Furnace to be a tour guide and learn other crafts and trades,” said Zerr. “March will be more indoor workshops, but once we get to April, there will be more outdoor workshops, (including) learning to make metal castings.” The site hosts three major annual festivals: the Hay Creek Festival in September, the Hay Creek Apple Festival in October and Christmas at Joanna in December. It will also offer a

Orphanage from pg 1
TLC from pg 1
Locally, the sanctuary is supported by Media Presbyterian Church; the mission committee at Central Presbyterian Church (CPC) in Downingtown, where Ayukachale occasionally serves as a guest preacher; and by local organizations, including the Coatesville Youth and Women’s Alliance (CYWA). The idea to form an orphanage began when Peter and his wife, Magdalene Ayukachale, were working as missionaries in Africa. While walking along the plains in Cameroon, they came across a woman in labor about to deliver a baby girl. The woman died, so Peter and his wife made the decision to take care of the child. This act of kindness led to the formation of the Kembong Sanctuary for Orphans. “The orphanage was sustained by the proceeds from my plantations, (including) my orange orchards and plantations of mangoes and palm oil,” Peter explained. On two occasions through the years, the orphanage had to be moved due to civil unrest in the area. Today, Kembong Sanctuary for Orphans is located in the Bonaberi district of the city of Douala, a town in the more peaceful French-speaking part of Cameroon. The sanctuary currently cares for a total of 80 orphans, 45 of whom are living at a school, 23 of whom are living with foster families in the community and 12 who are pursuing university studies in science. Because the facility is no longer supported by his plantations, Peter is now seeking financial support from the community, as well as prayers. “The most important thing is prayer,” Peter said. “I never believed that I would be able to keep those children for even one year. I think that prayers that Christians have given have sustained the orphans.” Peter and his wife came to live
attention, which is always good,” she said. Long noted that the program allows students from different backgrounds and interests to come together to share a common experience. “When we first started coming here a little over a year ago, the administrators were a little bit reluctant, and then they saw the crossover of communication,” said Long. “Shy kids come out of their shells; it’s a win-win.” “All different students that normally don’t (spend time together) get to interact,”
in the United States when their son moved to Chester County, but Peter returns to Africa yearly to check on the orphanage and the students and to meet with the mistress of the school. “Every year I go home,” he said. “Last year I went in August because the schools in Cameroon close in July. I used to stay two or three months, but now I have a job working with people with mental disabilities at Brian’s House (in Exton).” Peter and Magdalene also passed their citizenship exam and were sworn in as United States citizens on March 22, 2019, at the Chester County Courthouse. A celebration in their honor was held at CPC two days later. Helping them achieve citizenship and obtain a 501(c)(3) nonprofit status for the orphanage in the United States was Alan Lukens of Coatesville, who is now president of the sanctuary’s board of directors.

Wet weather leads to ideal conditions for internal parasites to flourish in pasture systems, which can lead to infected animals for sheep and goat producers throughout the grazing season in Pennsylvania. Producers can learn how to better manage internal parasites at the “It’s a Wormy Deal” workshop that will be held on Thursday, Feb. 20, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Chester County 4-H Center, 1841 Horseshoe Pike, Honey Brook. Featured topics will include an overview of the internal parasite life cycle and techniques to prevent parasite infection. The workshop will also offer information on how to use FAMACHA to assess anemia levels in sheep and goats. The
FAMACHA score allows producers to determine the need to treat individual animals. Producers will demonstrate the procedure as part of the workshop. There is a cost to attend, which includes handout materials, refreshments, and a FAMACHA card. Registration is requested by Thursday, Feb. 13. To register for the meeting, readers may call 877-3450691 or visit https://extension .psu.edu/its-a-wormy-deal. Registration is limited to 50 attendees.

PAsmart Approves Targeted Grants
Award Will Bridge Of Hope from pg 1 Fund Children’s Books
PAsmart has approved targeted grants for five SD-44 school districts, including Coatesville, Owen J. Roberts, Perkiomen Valley, Phoenixville, and Twin Valley. Each school district will receive a grant of $35,000. PAsmart grants seek to expand computer science classes and teacher training to ensure computer and technology skills are on par for indemand jobs. For more information about pursuing an education and career in Pennsylvania at any stage of life, readers may visit www.pasmart.gov.
Pennsylvania Public Television, in collaboration with the United Way of Pennsylvania, has been selected to receive an award of $170,000 for new books and e-books. This award will extend the mission of both organizations, providing greater access to books for children in low-income districts. First Book, the nonprofit social enterprise focused on equal access to quality education for children in need, awarded the funds as part of its OMG Books Awards: Offering More Great Books to Spark Innovation, a program that will give more than $4.7 million in funding to distribute 1.5 million brand-new books and e-books to children living in low-income communities in 33 U.S. states and territories. First Book is helping public media partners and United Way to resource proven local strategies which get free books into the hands of children of all ages from low-income communities across the state. In addition to helping children develop skills related to learning, the books are also intended to encourage development of positive relationships with adults who will read First Book selections to young children or help older children choose the next story they would like to read. Awardees will use the funding to select books and e-books from the First Book Marketplace (www.fbmarketplace.com), First Book’s award-winning eCommerce platform, that best meet the needs of the children they serve. First Book estimates the total value of the books distributed will be more than $12 million. Eligible educators, librarians, providers, and others serving children in need can sign up to receive resources from First Book outside of OMG Books Awards.

such as child care and transportation to work or school. “The neighboring volunteers are six to 10 volunteers (from a church) who almost act like an extended family,” Beiler noted. “(Clients) do need to commit to be in the program for about 18 months. It’s not a short-term solution; it is a long-term solution to homelessness. They are in it for the long haul. We build a foundation of support.” While in the program, Bridge of Hope clients may receive help with budgeting, finding a better job, getting a GED and/or completing their education. Shortterm rental assistance is also provided on a sliding scale. “When they are facing this period of instability, that is one less thing they have to worry about,” Cameron said. Bridge of Hope is in need of local congregation members to become neighboring volunteers. “There is a training component a minimum of five hours - with me,” said Cameron. “We learn a lot about homelessness and what the expectations are for the families and also for the neighboring volunteers, and we intentionally create opportunities in which these groups of people can meet and begin to form a healthy and long-lasting relationship.” Churches already involved in the program include Sandy Hill Community Church in Coatesville, which was one of the founders of Bridge of Hope Chester and Lancaster Counites, and Westminster Presbyterian Church in West Chester. “For churches who do want to respond to this call, it is an exciting opportunity. We would love to talk with them,” Cameron said. Bridge of Hope Chester County is located at 1 N. Bacton Hill Road, Suite 100, Malvern.

the 2019-20 academic year at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, Wis. Sean Breslin of Downingtown was named to the dean’s list by the School of Education, and Jarryd Featherman of Exton was named to the dean’s honor list by the College of Engineering.
Cameron has a bachelor’s degree in psychology and theater from Eastern Mennonite University and a master’s degree in community counseling from Western Michigan University. She is a licensed professional counselor and a certified trauma practitioner and has worked as a mental health therapist since 2004. Bridge of Hope began serving families facing homelessness more than 30 years ago in Lancaster and Chester counties. It was started by churches in the Gap area. Today, Bridge of Hope Chester County is one of 19 Bridge of Hope locations across 12 states. “The national organization started in 2002 to help bring the model to other communities, first in Pennsylvania and then across the country,” said Kathy Beiler, director of strategic engagement. “The national office provides the curriculum and support to the affiliates and to the other locations.” As part of the Bridge of Hope program, homeless families or those in danger of becoming homeless are connected with a church or faithbased community, called neighboring volunteers, along with a case manager. The goals of the program include providing families with safe and sustainable housing, improving their financial position and long-term resources and offering a support system. “Our definition of homelessness is anything that compromises safe and stable housing,” Beiler explained. “This could be a family doubled up with someone else or people who are living out of their cars. These are people experiencing homelessness.” Bridge of Hope clients are matched with neighboring volunteers who provide support and tangible services

“Reach Out PA” Campaign Begins The Department of Human Services (DHS) will take steps to incentivize the integration of physical and behavioral health services to remove barriers to coordinating care and treatment. DHS will create financial incentives to encourage managed care organizations that provide Medical Assistance benefits to create, maintain, and continuously improve collaboration between the entities and providers that coordinate and deliver physical health benefits and mental health benefits. The Department of Health will conduct a review of the current network adequacy process to ensure that consumers enrolled in the Medicaid program and commercial insurance products are able to access mental health care providers when services are necessary and without prohibitive costs. The departments of Labor and Industry and State will study solutions that address the inadequacy of the mental health workforce across Pennsylvania, including evaluating mental health practitioners across the commonwealth by level of care they provide, the competitiveness of salaries and benefits, and barriers of entry to the workforce. Pennsylvanians may not access the mental health care they need or do not reach out for help, because they fear having a label or stigma attached to them by their family, friends, and community. By raising awareness of the normalcy and importance of mental health care, the hope is
PHA Provides Publication The Pennsylvania Homecare Association (PHA) has developed “The Care We Share: A Family Guide to In-Home Pediatric Care.” This 36-page resource is available free of charge to Pennsylvania families and includes information as they bring home a child with complex medical needs with equipment such as ventilators, tracheal collars and feeding tubes. Articles range from coordinating shift nursing to preparing one’s home for durable medical equipment. The resource also features parents who utilize home-based care for their children.
PHA is focused on making quality care available at home, and this resource is one of the many initiatives the association does annually to help provide community awareness for homebased care. Families that have children with complex medical needs or providers that serve medically complex children are encouraged to order copies of “The Care We Share” by contacting PHA at 800-382-1211. The information published in “The Care We Share” is also available online at www.pahomecare.org/ the-care-we-share-a-family -guide-to-in-home-pediatric-care.
that others will be less fearful of the stigma. Pennsylvania’s nationally recognized response to the opioid and substance use disorder crisis included public engagement and open conversations to combat stigma. Pennsylvania will deploy the practices used by the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs to lead a similar effort around mental health and mental illness. Reach Out PA will include roundtable discussions to hear directly from those battling the stigma of mental illness, collaboration with community-based organizations to help increase public attention on mental illness and mental health care, and outreach to elevate success stories and best practices. The first roundtable was held on Jan. 3 at Muhlenberg College in Allentown. The Department of Education will create pathways to increase the number of highly qualified social workers trained to work in schools. School social workers provide holistic services and supports in the school setting, such as crisis management, mental health treatment, and engaging the school, family, and community in enhancing existing student support structures that ensure the success of all students. Pathways will include new certification, among other options, to enhance who can provide social work services in Pennsylvania’s schools.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) recently announced that the required 60-day pre-enforcement period for the statewide Automated Work Zone Speed Enforcement (AWZSE) program has begun and will last until Wednesday, March 4. Pennsylvania’s AWZSE program uses vehicle-mounted systems to detect and record motorists exceeding posted work zone speed limits using electronic speed timing devices. The AWZSE program was established by the Pennsylvania General Assembly in Act 86 of 2018. During the preenforcement period, automated speed enforcement units will be deployed in active work zones, but violations will not be issued. Work zones are selected to maximize the effectiveness of the systems
and will be marked with signage in advance of the enforcement area. The goal is to encourage motorists to slow down in work zones, change their behavior, and ultimately improve safety for both motorists and workers. AWZSE systems are only operational in active work zones where workers are present. Once enforcement begins on March 4, registered owners will receive a warning letter for a first offense, a violation notice and $75 fine for a second offense, and a violation notice and $150 fine for third and subsequent offenses. These violations are civil penalties only; no points will be assessed to driver’s licenses. For more information on the AWZSE program, including a list of projects where the units are deployed, readers may visit www.workzone cameras.penndot.gov.

The Office of Advocacy and Reform will coordinate and expand upon ongoing efforts in the commonwealth to address adverse childhood experiences and implement more traumainformed approaches in education, health care, the criminal justice system, and other government institutions. Pennsylvania will expand training of constituent affairs personnel on suicide prevention and mental health intervention. With this training, workers have already been able to recognize people who need help with their mental health, to intervene, and to connect them with services or support. The Department of Military and Veterans Affairs will review the adequacy of federal and state programs in educating members of the military and veterans on resources available to them, especially those struggling with posttraumatic stress disorder and at risk for harming themselves or others.

The focused all-agency effort and anti-stigma campaign “Reach Out PA: Your Mental Health Matters” is aimed at expanding resources and the state’s comprehensive support of mental health and related health care priorities in Pennsylvania. The campaign includes several initiatives and reviews the state government will undertake for commonwealth agencies to bolster the effort. Further, agencies are planning to announce additional initiatives. Pennsylvania is stepping up efforts to ensure every Pennsylvanian can access mental health care and more agencies can respond to the challenges facing Pennsylvanians struggling with their mental health. The act of reaching out for help - or to help - can make a huge difference for someone struggling. According to a 2017 study from the University of Southern California, approximately 1 million adult Pennsylvanians struggled with serious psychological distress at least once in 2015. Of those adults, more than 27% had an unmet need for mental health care. That population includes 42% who did not receive mental health care because they could not afford it. The Pennsylvania Insurance Department (PID) will pursue Mental Health Parity regulations to ensure Pennsylvanians’ health insurance coverage provides access to affordable mental health care. PID also will release educational tools to help patients better understand their mental health benefits and access services.

Food and Beverage The Importance Of Food Safety Certification By Dayna M. Reidenouer
Working in food service involves much more than asking “Would you like fries with that?” Food service workers may be employed in grocery stores, retirement communities, schools, office building cafeterias, restaurants, and anywhere else that qualifies as a retail food establishment as defined by law. One of the top priorities of all food service workers is to keep consumers safe. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has created a model food code, which is updated every four years, and states can create their own based on the model. According to Penn State Extension, the FDA Food Code provides updated sciencebased guidance and recommendations on how to handle food

safely in order to reduce or prevent foodborne illnesses. Until recently, the FDA Food Code required that one person within a food service operation be a Certified Food Protection Manager. The new update, announced in February 2018, now requires that the person in charge of a facility be certified. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture (PDA), which oversees the state’s food code and the Food Employee Certification Act, adopted the update and declared the change in certified managers to go into effect in 2020. “We have research from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention that shows when we have a (certified) person on duty at all times, the risk of foodborne illness is reduced,” said Stacy Reed, senior extension educator with Penn State
Extension. “Prevention of foodborne illness is a big deal. About 48 million people get sick (from a foodborne illness) each year, and that leads to over 128,000 being hospitalized. That means one out of every six people will get sick from a foodborne illness (annually). An estimated 3,000 people pass away from a foodborne illness every year.” Until the latest change, retail food facilities were required to have a Certified Food Protection Manager available during inspection, even if it was just someone who could go to the facility when called. With the new requirement that the person in charge for example, a shift manager - be certified, more people will need to have their certifications. “We’re trying to be proactive and making people aware of these amendments so that we have plenty of people that are certified,” Reed said. Certification must be renewed every five years. PDA recognizes manager certification programs offered by five organizations. Penn State Extension offers local classes for the PDAapproved ServSafe program from the National Restaurant Association (NRA). The classes are typically held in groups of two, with one week separating them. A proctored exam is offered at the end of the second
day, and a score of 75% or higher is required to receive a certificate. Exams may be taken four times in one year, but they must be spaced out according to the association’s guidelines. “Our food safety and quality professionals are highly educated in food safety,” Reed remarked. “We can provide real-life information and update you on all the changes and regulations. We have advanced professional knowledge and experience; we are professional educators.” The ServSafe course is also available online and may be completed at an individual’s convenience. The exam must be taken in person, however. Accommodations for people with disabilities are available through the NRA. Sometimes accommodations might include having more time to complete an exam or having the exam read aloud by someone without a food safety background. “There are ways (we) will work

Classes taught in Spanish are available in Kennett Square, although Reed noted that she has a bilingual program assistant who can teach the class in Spanish in Lancaster. Anyone who is interested in food safety is welcome to take a ServSafe course. “We have a lot of individuals who take the class who are just interested in food safety, (as well as) volunteers or people interested in the possibility of a career change,” Reed said. “I know a lot of employers do value certification, to the point that they will send large groups of employees to classes at one time.” Along with potentially helping someone obtain a job in food service, the ServSafe program provides valuable knowledge for use in other contexts
