School To Present Spring/Summer Outgrown Sale

By Francine Fulton

The Bradford Heights Elementary School Home and School Association (BHHSA) will present its Spring/Summer Outgrown Sale on Saturday, March 9, at the school, 1330 Romig Road, Downingtown. The sale will be open from 8 to 11:30 a.m., and the doors will reopen from noon to 1 p.m. for a 50-percent-off sale on select items.

This is the 15th year for the sale, which will feature gently used clothing for infants, toddlers and school-age children and tweens, sizes 0 to 16, as well as toys, books, shoes, bicycles and more.

Visitors are invited to begin their shopping experience in the school gymnasium, where the clothing, sporting goods, toys and décor items will be on display, as well as accessories, such as socks, neckties, sunglasses and backpacks.

“ When you walk in, you are immediately shifted to the gymnasium.

We will have shopping baskets that people can put their things in,” explained Carolyn Clark, who is a member of the outgrown sale committee along with Heiki Evans and Ellen Beears. “Most of the inventory is in the gymnasium. As you loop around to the registers, we have the outdoor play equipment and bicycles and the baby equipment in the hallways. Right before the registers, we have all the books, CDs and DVDs, (including) CDs that are especially toddler and preschool appropriate.” She noted that shoppers will be able to peruse the books and related items while they are in line.

The event will also include a sale of baked goods, which will also be located by the registers. “We have a group called the Bradford Bakers who volunteer to bake for our school events,” noted Clark.

Wagontown Chapel Sets Sportsman’s Event Wildlife displays, door prizes, a light lunch, a guest appearance by a world champion wild game caller and more will be featured during the 14th annual Sportsman’s Event to be held at Wagontown Chapel on Saturday, March 16, beginning at 11:30 a.m.

This year’s program will follow the same format as last year’s event, according to pastor Tim Crans. While most event components will take place at the church, in order to more comfortably accommodate guests, a light lunch of hot dogs, chicken wings, chips and beverages, as well as cookies and brownies made by church members, will be served at the Wagontown Volunteer Fire Company, 412 W. Kings Highway, See Sportsman’s Event pg 11

The Chester County commissioners have announced the acquisition of 80 acres of preserved land. The additional acres are attached to Nottingham County Park and will extend the size of the park by more than 10 percent. The new acquisition was conveyed at no cost to Chester County by The Nature Conservancy (TNC), which has owned the land for 20 years.

TNC purchased the 80-acre tract of land in 1998 for $275,000, using conservancy, state and county funding for the original purchase. In reviewing its property portfolio, TNC determined that transferring land to the County would allow for integrated and improved management across the conservation area and ensure excellent management.

The addition of the 80 acres

brings Nottingham County Park’s total size to 731 acres. The park sits atop an outcropping of serpentine stone greater than one square mile in size; the area was once a site for mining. Serpentine, a geological outcrop of rare, light green rock found only in three small geographic areas in North America, has soil so low in essential nutrients and so high in some metals that most ordinary plants will not grow. The barrens have their own community of plants, some of them globally rare, with practically no species in common with the surrounding forests and fields.

Current uses and plans for the new space include public-use open space, agricultural use, and an extension of Nottingham Park’s Buck Trail. The plan is to implement management and stewardship practices to control

invasive species.

Nottingham Park is located at Dedicated in September 1963, 150 Park Road, Nottingham.

Chester County’s Nottingham County Park has increased in size with the acquisition of 80 acres of preserved land donated

by The Nature Conservancy.

2019 Mock Trial Competition Set Almost 300 teams from 242 high schools across Pennsylvania will compete in district and regional levels of the Statewide Mock Trial Competition sponsored by the Pennsylvania Bar Association Young Lawyers Division. Pennsylvania’s mock trial program, now in its 36th year, is recognized as one of the largest in the nation.

During the competition, eight-member student teams are given the opportunity to argue both sides of the case in an actual courtroom before a judge. The students, who play the roles of lawyers, witnesses, plaintiffs, and defendants, are assisted by teacher coaches and lawyer advisers in preparing for competition. Lawyers and community leaders serve as jurors for the mock trials. The juries determine the winners in each trial based on the teams’ abilities to prepare their cases, present arguments, and follow court rules.

The district and regional levels of the competition took place in February and will continue throughout March. At the conclusion of the local competitions, 14 high school mock trial teams will advance to the Pennsylvania Bar Association Statewide Mock Trial Championships, scheduled on Friday, March 29, and Saturday, March 30, in Harrisburg. The winning team of the state championship will represent Pennsylvania in the national mock trial finals to be held from Thursday,

May 16, through Saturday, May 18, in Athens, Ga. This year’s hypothetical case is a criminal jury trial in which the defendant, a local pain management doctor, is accused of prescribing opiate painkillers outside the realm of normal medical practice, resulting in the overdose death of his patient. The case was written by Jonathan A. Grode of Philadelphia, Paul W. Kaufman of Philadelphia, Jonathan D. Koltash of Harrisburg, and Talia Charme-Zane, an alumna

of the Pennsylvania mock trial program and former captain of the Central High School team in Philadelphia.

The Modern Kitchen: More Than Just A Food Space Kitchen Remodel Must-Haves Kitchens are among the most-used rooms in many homes. Even though the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics states the average person spends just 68 minutes each weekday consuming food and about 37 minutes preparing meals, the kitchen is not just a spot focused on food. It also is a gathering place for conversation, homework, and family time.

In fact, some of the more popular trends concerning kitchen layouts showcase homeowners’ desire to maximize the comfort and efficiency of these rooms.

Communal Zones Today’s home floor plans make kitchens a focal point of a home, and food preparation is no longer a solitary task. Thanks to larger kitchen footprints and multiple zones set up for meal creation, a greater number of people can hang out in the kitchen and help with meals. Multiple sinks, large islands, and more counter space are key components of modern kitchen layouts.

Dining Nooks Kitchen designs are bringing back banquette seating in a cozy nook. This design is a practical use of space and can fit in large and small kitchens alike. It also can give a kitchen a high-end look, as built-in banquettes can highlight a bay window or

seem custom-made for the space. Banquette seating can fit a number of people comfortably and provide a sensible and casual dining spot.

Family Tables Experts at Southern Living magazine indicate that formal dining and living rooms are now used infrequently. As a result, kitchens have evolved to accommodate meal prep and dining. A large family table in the center of the room brings people into the kitchen to get more involved with food, according to San Francisco designer David Kensington.

Counter Culture Taking a page from the style of a favorite corner diner or other eatery,

kitchens are increasingly outfitted with a large island flanked by chic counter stools, according to the design professionals at Domino. Family members can pull up a stool and grab a quick snack. The island is also an ideal place for friends to engage in conversation while a host or hostess prepares appetizers for an evening soirée.

Work Areas Many families like to have an area of the kitchen set up as a tech zone where children can do their homework. Setting aside an area of counter space as a small desk area can be a great idea. Such areas also make it easier for parents to keep a watchful eye on children while they are surfing the internet.

Kitchen remodels are among the most popular home renovation projects, whether they consist of swapping out cabinet hardware or doing major demolition. When investing in a kitchen project, homeowners should consider incorporating the following items: • Deep, double sinks: Having a double sink enables people to soak dishes in one side and then wash on the other. It also makes it easier to wash and prep produce for meals.

• Kitchen island and bar stools: Even though many meals are enjoyed around the table, there is something to be said for the convenience of a kitchen island and some well-placed bar stools for quick breakfasts or snacks.

• Smart kitchen storage: Work with a contractor to have storage solutions built into cabinetry and the pantry. Slide-out shelving, nooks for paper towel rolls, and custom-designed areas to store stand mixers and other necessities can make kitchens more functional.

• Outdoor access: If possible, design a kitchen so it is easy to access the backyard via sliding doors. This can make

outdoor entertaining or even coffee on the deck much easier.

• Under-cabinet lighting: Fixtures installed under cabinets provide both ambient lighting and task lighting. This type of lighting makes it easier for people to see what they are working on, as even well-placed overhead lighting can fail to illuminate dark corners and spots on the counters.

• Convenient warming drawer: This

appliance, which provides backup to the oven, is a slide-out drawer that can keep prepared foods out of the way and warm until they are served. It is particularly handy for holidays and other times when homeowners entertain.

• Beverage station: Designate one area of the kitchen for beverages, such as coffee and tea. This can limit traffic in the kitchen to a single area when homeowners host gatherings.

bench that allows people to sit while they shower.

4. Discard old medications. Clean out the medicine cabinet and remove old or expired medications, including both prescription and over-the-counter drugs.

This reduces the likelihood of medication confusion and the likelihood of potentially harmful pills and syrups falling into the hands of children. Medications should be disposed of safely via local medication take-back programs, as opposed to being thrown in the trash or flushed down the toilet.

5. Install grab bars. Properly installed grab bars around the shower and toilet area can provide leverage and stability.

According to AARP, many injuries to seniors occur when they are attempting to sit on or get up from the toilet. Grab bars or an elevated toilet seat can help.

6. Install motion-detecting lights. These lights turn on automatically upon detecting movement, making them beneficial for people who routinely visit the bathroom in the middle of the night.

Adequate illumination also can help reduce the risk of falling.

Six Ways To Increase Bathroom Safety notes that falls, which can result in serious injuries like hip fractures and head trauma, are the cause of 80 percent of all bathroom accidents.

Despite this, many bathroom accidents are preventable with some easy modifications to the area.

1. Reduce slippery surfaces. Wet tile is often a hazard. Bath rugs with rubber

backing can provide traction in the bathroom, as can nonslip mats placed on the floor of the bathtub or shower enclosure.

Water-resistant flooring made from recycled rubber is another option. It is softer, less slippery, and more forgiving than traditional tile flooring.

2. Install lever-style fixtures. Round knobs in the bathroom can be difficult to grasp,

especially for the elderly or those with arthritis. Lever-style fixtures are easier to maneuver and can help prevent scalding if people are not able to adequately adjust the water temperature.

3. Add transfer benches and shower seats. A transfer bench can help reduce injuries that occur when people try to climb over a tub wall. When a bench is placed outside of the tub, a person can sit on it and then swing his or her legs over the ledge into the tub. Transfer benches also can be used in conjunction with shower seats. A shower seat is a chair or

State Park Acquires Land Tract Natural Lands, a land conservation organization, has purchased and transferred a 57acre property to Marsh Creek State Park.

Located in Wallace Township, Chester County, the land was slated to be developed. Now part of the State Park, it will be open to the public for hiking, birdwatching, horseback riding, and other passive recreation uses.

The forested property adjoins the 1,727acre Marsh Creek State Park, used by more than 1 million visitors every year.

The downturn in the housing market a

decade ago put a hold on the developer’s plans to create a large-scale resort community with residences, hotel space, and a golf course. Natural Lands approached the landowner when foreclosure seemed likely and offered to purchase the property for appraised value. After several years of planning and gathering the needed public funding, Natural Lands purchased the property at the end of 2018.

Additionally, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission contributed a five-acre portion

of the protected 57-acre parcel to account for a nearby parcel it acquired for a future sixlane widening project west of the Downingtown Interchange. The property provided by the turnpike sits at the northwest side of the state park adjacent to Chalfont Road. The planned turnpike improvement project is now in the final design stage and will take place between mileposts 308 and 312 in Upper Uwchlan Township.

Getting Ready For Warmer Weather: Early Spring Landscaping Tips As winter tapers off, people may be antsy to spend more time outdoors in the increasingly warm weather. For those with green thumbs, outdoor plans may involve tending to the garden and preparing other components of their landscapes.

Homeowners may draw inspiration from budding crocuses and

daffodils pushing through the last remnants of snow and employ the following tips to prepare for the upcoming gardening season: • One of the first steps is to apply a pre-emergent weed killer to get a head start knocking out weeds that can plague the lawn during the growing season. Killing weeds at the roots early on can

mean far fewer hassles in spring and summer, and it may prevent new generations of weeds from cropping up each year.

While it may be tempting to take a prematurely warm day as a sign that spring is in full force and purchase a bunch of annuals, it is better to know the last of the possible frost dates; otherwise, homeowners may waste time and money planting flowers or vegetables only to have them zapped by another frosty day. To check frost dates, homeowners should refer to The Farmer’s Almanac.

• Amend the soil so that it is the right consistency - just crumbling when lifted. Soil that is too muddy after the spring thaw can harden, making it difficult for plants to flourish later on. Gardeners should speak with representatives at a local lawn and garden center about which types of amendments can be added to the

soil to enrich it.

• Fill in bare patches of lawn soon by mixing a few shovelfuls of soil with grass seed. Then apply this patch to a bare area, water it, and continue to care for the area until the spot fills in.

• Spend a day in the garage or shed tending to the lawn mower and other gardening equipment. Clean all tools and ensure that everything works, repairing parts as needed.

• Give outdoor entertaining spaces a good scrubbing, clearing away dirt and grime that may have accumulated over the winter. Use a broom and a leaf blower to remove any leftover leaves.

• Check if the front porch, railings, or decking need painting and/or staining. Tackle these projects when the weather is cooler so everything will be ready for those peak spring days. If hiring a professional, it is good to get on their schedule now to

ensure the project is finished by the onset of nice weather.

• Think about what annuals to plant in the landscape this year that will complement any existing shrubbery or perennials.

Come up with a theme so that the entire yard is cohesive.

Before homeowners know it, winter is gone and it is time to once again enjoy long days spent outdoors. Getting a jump start on spring lawn prep can ensure that homeowners can take full advantage of nice spring days.

Enhancing A Yard With Hardscaping TLC For Your Trees: Protect Properties With Tree Services

from the second floor of a home or higher have been compromised, it is much safer to call a professional tree service. Such services have the right tools and experienced personnel to safely trim high branches on tall trees.

• Tree services can help prevent future damage. Even if trees made it through a recent winter unscathed, that is no guarantee next winter or even the coming seasons of spring, summer, and fall will not ultimately prove their undoing. According to BNC Insurance and Risk Advisors, homeowners may be liable if a tree they know poses a threat falls onto a passerby or a neighbor’s property and causes damage or injury. It is important to have all trees properly trimmed each year, but especially those that can fall on one’s home or neighbors’ homes.

also can pose a threat to a home’s foundation. Such trees may have especially large root zones that may extend beneath walkways and even a home. In the latter instance, foundations may crack as roots try to stake their claim to the ground beneath a home.

According to the home improvement resource HomeAdvisor, it often costs less to repair foundation issues than to fix major problems after they have taken their toll. A professional tree service can remove aging trees that might be beautiful and awe-inspiring but still pose a threat to a home and the areas surrounding them.

• Tree services can improve visibility. Trees that have aged a bit since their last trimming might affect the view of a property from inside a home.

Overgrown branches can compromise residents’ ability to see and experience the natural beauty just outside their windows. The average homeowner may be able to trim short trees on his or her own, but if views

Cold weather can take its toll on a property, especially when winters are harsh. Most parts of the landscape are vulnerable to damage from winter storms, but trees may be especially susceptible. By the end of winter, trees may benefit from some professional TLC. Tree services provide a host of offerings. While fall is a popular time to remove trees from a property, doing so in spring is not unheard of, especially if trees were affected by winter storms and now pose a threat to a home and the people who live inside it.

Homeowners considering tree services can explore the following ways that some professional arbor attention can protect them and their homes.

landscaping projects, homeowners must first determine what types of additions they would like on their properties. Common hardscape features include patios, decks, and walkways made of pavers or bricks, as well as retaining walls. Hardscape elements can be functional or simply decorative features that add whimsy to the yard.

Choose a theme. The right style allows hardscaping and softscaping materials to work together. For example, homeowners may want to give their yards an Eastern feel, complete with a koi pond and decorative bridge or trellis. A formal English garden, however, may include manicured paths with stepping stones and ornate topiaries. Mixing too many

styles together can take away from the overall appeal. Professionals suggest looking at the overall plan of the design, even if all of the work cannot be completed at once. This way the eventual finished project will be cohesive.

Think about the purpose.

Hardscaping can look good but also serve key purposes. Pebbles or gravel can mitigate trouble areas that do not grow grass or plant life well. Retaining walls hold back soil in yards that have sharply inclined hills. Mulch can set perimeters around trees and shrubs, as well as planting beds. Fencing, another form of hardscaping, is essential for establishing property boundaries and adding privacy.

C o n s u l t a p r o f e s s i o n a l . While many hardscaping additions can be handled by novices, large-scale projects, such as patios and decking, can change the grading of the yard. Professionals can map out how to handle drainage issues and meet building codes. In addition, professional installation can ensure that hardscaping features last for years to come.

Curb appeal is beneficial in various ways. It can make a home more attractive to prospective buyers and give existing homeowners a place they want to come home to.

In its study of the worth of outdoor remodeling projects, the National Association of Realtors found that standard lawn care and overall landscape upgrades were most appealing to buyers, as well as the most likely to add value to a home.

Although plants, grass, and other items can improve curb appeal, homeowners should not overlook hardscaping.

Hardscaping is an industry term that refers to the nonliving features of a landscape. These features can include everything from decks to walkways to ornamental boulders. Introducing paths or paver walls to a property helps develop that home’s hardscape.

Hardscape and soft elements often work in concert to create inspiring landscape designs.

DIY landscape designers can heed certain tips to add to the hardscape features on their properties or enhance the ones already in existence.

One home design element that tends to have an instant wow factor is a freestanding tub. Freestanding tubs have an air of luxury that can help current homeowners relax and impress buyers when homes go on the market.

Freestanding tubs are typically made of cast iron or porcelain.

The home improvement website HomeAdvisor notes that cast iron is durable and solid and

retains heat well, which is ideal for those who want to spend more than a little time relaxing in a freestanding tub. However, because cast iron is so heavy, installing a cast-iron tub may require structural reinforcement of the flooring, which will add to the overall cost of the project.

According to HomeAdvisor, the average cost to install a tub varies widely depending on the type of tub, the materials it is made of, and other factors, including plumbing and piping.

For example, the cost to install a freestanding tub will rise considerably if new plumbing and piping are necessary.

Before purchasing a freestanding tub, homeowners

and crannies where grime can build up.

• Return on investment: In its 2018 “Cost vs. Value” report, Remodeling magazine noted that upscale bathroom remodels recouped 56.2 percent of their cost at resale. That was a better return on investment than an upscale kitchen remodel (53.5 percent) and an upscale master suite addition (48.3 percent). The thought of a sizable return on investment can make relaxing in a freestanding tub that much more enjoyable.

• Warmth: Even freestanding tubs made of materials other than cast iron offer notable heat retention. Stone resin bathtubs, for example, provide excellent insulation on cold nights. That is ideal for people who want to unwind in the tub without having to exit early because the water has become cold.

should seek estimates regarding installation, making sure to get them in writing. Contractors will determine if structural reinforcement is necessary and include such costs in their estimates. In addition, homeowners should make sure to ask contractors to investigate piping and plumbing so no surprises pop up after the tub has been purchased and work has begun.

If estimates from contractors indicate that such an installation project is a possibility, homeowners can consider these benefits of freestanding tubs before making their final decisions.

• Cleaning: Because they are detached from other bathroom fixtures and not flush against the wall, freestanding tubs tend to be easier to clean than built-in bathtubs. Many freestanding tubs are accessible from all sides, making it easier to reach all those nooks

The Well from pg 1 Hopewell UMC, officially opening in June 2017.

The name of the facility comes from the story in Scripture when Jesus meets a Samaritan woman as she is drawing water from a well and is kind to her despite the fact that she was an outcast and shunned by her own people.

Among the offerings at The Well is an after-school program that is held on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4 to 6 p.m.

Darlene Alleger, who is co-director of the program with Emmy Shapard, explained that thirdthrough fifth-grade students from a local elementary school are currently taking part in the program.

“This is not a drop-off program.

Students are recommended by the school for tutoring and mentoring,” said Alleger. “(Students) come at 4 p.m., we provide a healthy snack and the tutors work with them on their homework until about 5 p.m.”

This is followed by a devotional period. “We talk about things they want to pray for (as a way) to get to know them better,” said Alleger. “They talk about their feelings and we learn about their families.”

The after-school program concludes with a time for enrichment. “We try to do a variety of things. We’ve taken them to the Downingtown police station and (a local sports center),” said

Joanna Furnace from pg 1

By Francine Fulton

Hay Creek Valley Historical Association volunteer John Wysolmerksi of Birdsboro, who participated in the 2018 tour guide training at Joanna Furnace Iron Works, talks to visitors about the Joanna Furnace charcoal barn. This year’s event, “Learn to Be a Joanna Furnace Tour Guide,” will take place on March 12. the course, attendees will learn the process of rendering tallow, preparing wax and then making candles by dipping. Participants will create their own handmade candles to take home.

“19th-Century Iron Production at Joanna Furnace” will be presented on Tuesday, March 26, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. The program will feature a discussion of how pig iron was produced at Joanna Furnace in the late 1840s. The pig iron was then sent to nearby forges, where it was made into wrought iron. This second type of iron allowed for the creation of a variety of products by blacksmiths and wheelwrights for their customers.

“Colonial Chocolate” will be presented on Saturday, March 30, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Participants will make and sample several dishes made from period recipes, including puff-paste for tarts, chocolate tarts and chocolate biscuits. A recipe book will be included. Attendees are asked to bring a bagged lunch. The class will be taught by Deborah Peterson, a culinary historian.

A hands-on program about natural dyeing will be offered on Saturday, April 27, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Each participant will take home several sample skeins of yarn dyed in red and yellow.

Class size is limited, and reservations are required to attend each of the programs and must be made at least one week prior to the

class. For more information or to register, readers may contact Zerr at mzerr@haycreek.org or 610-286-0388. A fee will be charged to each participant to cover class materials. A discount will be provided to HCVHA members.

In addition to the classes, “Letters of a Daughter’s Devotion Preserved for Centuries” will be presented on Tuesday, March 19, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. by Juliana Flora, the great-great-granddaughter of Ella Jane Grubb Smith, who was the wife of ironmaster L. Heber Smith. Flora will share letters written by Ella in the 1860s and 1870s. “(Ella) had a lot of correspondence with her father, Clement Grubb, the iron tycoon of Lancaster,” Zerr explained. “She talks about the furnace, her children and how much she missed her home in Lancaster.”

prizes will be given out. Prizes will include crossbows, bows, decoys, calls, game cameras, bow and gun cases and other hunting items. Each ticketholder will be entered into the random drawing. “We have $15,000 worth of door prizes,” Crans noted, adding that youths age 12 and under will have separate door prizes.

A separate drawing for a muzzleloader will also be held this year, open only to those who donate three nonperishable food items for the City Gate Mission in Coatesville.

Also this year, youths age 12 and under who have hunted their first deer, turkey or bear in the 2017-18 season will be recognized. Since it will be a surprise, parents are asked to provide their child’s name and related information in advance. “We will call (the youths) up, show their pictures and recognize them,” Crans said, noting that the youths will each receive a certificate.

The event will also include the bestowing of the Charles Alsheimer Award, which is given to a local person who promotes hunting and sportsmanship.

Alsheimer, who was once a guest speaker at the Wagontown Chapel Sportsman’s Event, passed away in 2017.

Crans, who is an avid hunter himself, said people in the area look forward to the Sportsman’s Event each year. “It sells

The Hay Creek Valley Historical Association (HCVHA), the nonprofit organization that oversees and operates Joanna Furnace Iron Works near Morgantown, is currently recruiting area residents who are interested in volunteering to be historical site tour guides for the 2019 season. In addition, several hands-on programs for those interested in 19th-century history will be offered this spring.

Volunteer tour guides will be asked to lead small groups of visitors through the 226-year-old iron furnace complex and to talk about the 19th-century iron-making community and the operation of the site’s blast furnace.

According to statistics compiled by the HCVHA, more than 30,000 people visit Joanna Furnace each year during its special events such as the Fall Festival, the Apple Festival and Christmas at Joanna, as well as its monthly breakfast programs. Further, educational programs offered at the site reach more than 2,000 students from Berks, Chester and Lancaster counties. “Since 1980, over 1.1 million guests have visited Joanna Furnace,” said HCVHA executive director Mark Zerr.

Prospective volunteers are invited to attend “Learn to Be a Joanna Furnace Tour Guide,” which will be offered on Tuesday, March 12, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the site, located at 1250 Furnace Road, Geigertown.

Participants will watch and discuss a video about the history of Joanna Furnace, learn about the period garb worn by volunteers and receive a training guide.

In addition to the training, the site invites the public to take part in its upcoming hands-on programs.
