The Black Women of Chester County In Action (BWCCA), a newly formed nonprofit organization, will hold an Aya Café and Wellness Fair on Saturday, June 29, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Chester County Opportunities Industrialization Center (OIC) building, 22 N. Fifth Ave., Coatesville. The free event will feature an optional 1-mile walk, complimentary breakfast and lunch and information about ways to improve women’s health. The program is free and open to all
women age 16 and over. BWCCA member Connie Rose, one of the event organizers, explained that BWCCA has adopted the African symbol Aya as its logo. An Aya is a fern that symbolizes endurance and resourcefulness. According to “The Adinkra Dictionary,” which defines symbols of West Africa, a person who wears the Aya symbol suggests that he or she has endured adversity and outlasted many challenges. On the day of the café and wellness fair, women will enjoy a light breakfast, a brief introduction and a drumming See Wellness Fair pg 4

Tour To Highlight Ludwigs Corner Local Eagle Scout Makes By Francine Fulton
Immaculata University’s College of Undergraduate Studies
Those who regularly travel along Route 401 may not realize that the roadway was once known as the Conestoga Turnpike, complete with tollbooths, long before the Pennsylvania Turnpike came to be. That will be one of the interesting historical facts that will be presented during the Town Tours and Village Walks program that will make a stop in West Vincent Township on Thursday, June 20. “Ludwigs Corner c. 1770: A Stop on the Conestoga Turnpike” will be presented at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, See Tour pg 5
As part of the Town Tours and Village Walks program, “Ludwigs Corner c. 1770: A Stop on the Conestoga Turnpike” will be held at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, 7 St. Andrew’s Lane, Glenmoore, on June 20.
Improvements For Kayakers By Francine Fulton
Thanks to Eagle Scout Steven Egnaczyk, kayakers who use the Brandywine Creek in Downingtown will now have a safe place to store their kayaks, as well as improved access to the water. Along with these efforts, Steven also constructed an information kiosk that provides maps of the creek and information about access points and other recreation opportunities in the area.

received his Eagle Award during a Court of Honor ceremony held at the church on May 21. The rank of Eagle Scout is the highest award offered by the Boys Scouts of America (BSA). To earn the rank of Eagle, Scouts must earn various badges and complete a community service project. For his Eagle project, Steven constructed the kiosk and the kayak rack in Kerr Park behind the Downingtown Borough Building and improved the landing area by adding stone. “(The kiosk) is right next to a trail, so anyone who is walking by can gather information,” he said, noting that the rack will allow users to secure their kayaks while dropping their cars off at other access points or eating at one of the local restaurants. Steven, who will be a senior this fall at Downingtown High School East, said he completed the project in cooperation with the Downingtown Parks and Recreation Commission. “Our scoutmaster mentioned that (the commission) was looking for Scouts to complete projects as part of their remodeling of that area, (which has included) putting in lights, putting in a disc golf course and reworking the trails,” Steven said. Steven completed the project in November 2017 with the help of fellow troop members and
leaders and friends and family. Work was completed under the guidance of Christopher Brenenborg, chairperson of the parks and recreation commission. The commission provided Steven with two $1,000 grants in order to buy the materials to complete the project. Steven said that the most challenging part of the project was overcoming some construction obstacles. “When we were putting together the roof of the kiosk initially, we nailed the thatching to the roof, but it was too heavy, and we had to strip it off and put on new thatching,” he said. “You expect the plan to go how you envisioned it, but sometimes it doesn’t, so it was definitely a good lesson.” As part of the Eagle Scout process, Steven had to create an Eagle Scout Workbook, which includes photos, lists of materials, the number of hours worked and more details. The project was approved by an Eagle Board of Review from the Chester County Boy Scout Council. Steven began his Scouting career as a Cub Scout with Pack 32 when he was in first grade. While in Troop 220, Steven has held numerous positions, including patrol leader and troop guide, and he was elected to the position of senior patrol leader. The position of senior patrol leader is

The senior patrol leader is responsible for the troop’s overall operation along with the scoutmaster. Steven also spent two weeks backpacking and hiking in the summer of 2018 with members of his troop in Scouting’s high adventure program at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. In addition, he attended six years of summer camp at Chester County Council’s Camp Horseshoe and earned the Silver Buckle award in the summer of 2018. Steven earned 33 merit
badges, earning him both Bronze and Gold Palms. “Merit badges that I (earned) included robotics, swimming and astronomy/space exploration, where we built model rockets and launched them,” he stated. “There are a lot of opportunities for people who join Scouting.” Steven said he plans to remain involved with the troop as an adult leader when the turns 18. At school, he is a member of the cross-country team and he competes in the VEX Robotics Challenge. He plans to study computer science after graduation.

Babysitting Class Slated
Youths who live in Parkesburg and surrounding communities are invited to take part in summer programs that will begin on Monday, June 24, at The Parkesburg POINT youth center, 700 Main St., Parkesburg. Activities will be held from 12:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Mondays through Thursdays for students ages 8 to 18. Youths must be registered at The POINT to be a part of any of the summer programs. The Summer Enrichment program will run from 12:30 to 4 p.m. The program will include lunch, horseback riding sessions at a local farm and field trips, along with math and reading studies. In July, a Tuesday summer Bible study will be added. Space is limited for Summer Enrichment, and all youths must be registered to attend. The evening program will run from 4 to 6:30 p.m. and it will include a hot, cooked meal, along with athletics, gymnastics, e-games, board games and gaga ball. “The whole evening is structured. At 4 p.m., there will be gym time, an inspirational message and a time for games,” said Debbie Shupp, The POINT’s director of development. “We just started an e-gaming program where the kids will get to play games, but they play against themselves in here (and not against other players on the internet). The Downingtown/ Thorndale Rotary is building a gaga pit, and they will be able to play gaga. Dinner will be from 6 to 6:30 p.m.” Shupp said that youths must attend the sessions from 12:30 to 4 p.m. or from 4 to 6:30 p.m. in their entirety. They are welcome to stay for both sessions.
Space is limited only for Summer Enrichment. For the evening program, there are no space limitations. As an extension of the evening program, the Hands-On Training Center will be open on Wednesdays from 6:30 to 8 p.m., where students age 12 and over can learn basic home maintenance skills. “What (volunteers are) teaching them is carpentry and electric work and woodworking to see if they may be interested in doing a vocational-technical program and learn a skill they could (have as a career),” Shupp said. Additional volunteers are needed to teach the hands-on skills. Volunteers are also sought to help provide dinner, supervise athletic programs and offer homework support during the school year. A criminal record check and child abuse clearances are required. For more information and to complete a volunteer application, readers may visit www.parkesburgpoint.com/ volunteer. In The POINT’s newsletter, Dwayne Walton, executive director, said that the summer programming provides an opportunity for students to have fun and continue learning when school is not in session. “Last year we expanded our summer program to provide increased opportunities for students to have a safe environment during the hours they would otherwise be home alone and unsupervised,” he stated. “Our new Summer Enrichment program is designed to help students stay on track academically, grow spiritually and improve their overall health and well-being.”
Math and reading studies will be part of the Summer Enrichment program being offered this summer at The Parkesburg POINT. Supported by the community and more than 30 local churches, The POINT provides activities, sports, educational and enrichment programs and meals for youths in a safe, faith-based environment. There are more than 400 young people registered at The POINT, with an average of 50 to 80 onsite each weekday during the school year. Summer programs will run through Thursday, Aug 22. For more information on the summer programs, readers may contact Nancy at nancy@parkesburg point.com or call 610-857-3393, ext. 100.

Wellness Fair from pg 1 circle. Attendees will then view a short video presented by the Chester County Fund for Women and Girls before the walk begins. “Built Fitness will do a walking clinic before the walk,” noted Rose. “They will talk about the benefits and techniques for walking and do warm-ups. WalkWorks of Chester County mapped out a 1-mile walk in the area.” The walk will be held rain or shine. When the attendees return to the OIC, there will be healthrelated vendors and community partners on hand to provide information. “La Comunidad Hispana will be a vendor, and they will have health check stations so you can get your blood pressure checked,” noted Rose. Attendees will receive a box lunch to conclude the event. Cheryl Miles founded BWCCA in response to a report titled “Blueprint: Leveraging Progress,” which was introduced by the Chester County Fund for Women and Girls in September 2016. Miles, along with friends and colleagues across the county, met to discuss the report’s findings about African-American women in Chester County, and the group determined that the three areas that most needed to be addressed were education, economics and health. “The whole focus is really to improve the lives of women and girls in Chester County,” said Rose. “Right now, we are focus-
ing on health care, particularly self-care, making sure we are giving people tools and information to best take care of themselves. After that, we will go into the other areas of focus.” The Chester County Fund for Women and Girls honored Miles with its Kitchen Table Award at the 14th annual Making a Difference Luncheon held on May 3. Since its formation, BWCCA hosted an inaugural breakfast in December 2018 and sponsored a Black Professional Women’s Network Gathering in January. In June, Chester County Fund for Women and Girls awarded BWCCA a $6,000 grant to launch the Aya health project. OIC president and CEO

7 St. Andrew’s Lane, Glenmoore. Tour hours will be from 5:30 to 7 p.m. The Town Tours and Village Walks program is presented each summer by the Chester County Planning Commission as part of an effort to highlight local communities. The theme for this year is “Then and Now.” “We did an Underground Railroad tour several years ago, but this one is specifically about buildings on Conestoga Road and Ludwigs Corner,” explained Jane Helm, who is a member of a group of West Vincent historians who will host the tour. “Since the theme is ‘Then and Now,’ we will try to make comparisons of how (the area) has changed and how it stayed the same.” On June 20, visitors will be invited to view historical displays in the church. Additionally, the St. Andrew’s Episcopal minister will be in the sanctuary to talk about the historic church and an architectural historian will be on hand to will give talks about different buildings on Route 401 and in Ludwigs Corner. Visitors may also explore the church’s historic cemetery. One site that will be highlighted is the building currently home to Ludwig’s Grill and Oyster Bar, which had many different uses, including a general store and post office. Around 1811 when Jacob Ludwick Sr., for whom the area is named, bought shares in the 17.5mile Conestoga Turnpike, he also purchased 14 acres along the road from his son-in-law, Henry Miller. There, he built a tavern and coach stand, which he named the Captain Lawrence. “(Capt. Lawrence) came out of the War of 1812 and said, ‘Don’t give up the ship,’” said Helm. “The owner was fascinated with him (and named the inn after him).” All attendees will be given a driving map of local buildings that are historically significant. “Most of them are private residences, but St. Matthews United Church of Christ (UCC) will be open that night,” said Helm. “The sanctuary is unchanged since the 1880s. It’s a lovely building.” She explained that originally, two congregations shared a church, which was situated where St. Matthews UCC cemetery is currently located. Lutheran and Reformed congregations shared the building and alternated services every other Sunday. “Around 1880, the two congregations wanted their own church St. Matthews Lutheran Church and St. Matthews UCC, which was formerly St. Matthews German Reformed Church,” she stated. “Both churches were built about the same time by the same architect. It was fairly common (for churches to share space). The Evangelical Lutheran church and the German Reformed church shared a space for about 50 years.” Helm encourages local residents to attend the upcoming tour, especially those who travel the Route 401 corridor. “We’re hoping to get
people from all over the county, but especially local residents,” she said. “Commuters and residents drive down this historic road and cross through the intersection every day, but few know the rich history behind the road and its many historic buildings.” The tour is free of charge.

Counties (NACo). Additionally, the Greater Valley Forge Transportation Management Association presented Chester County with the Public Leadership Award at its May annual meeting, based on the newly adopted Landscapes3 Plan and the county’s support of smart transportation options. The APA presented Chester County with an Award of Excellence in the Comprehensive Plan - Large Jurisdiction category for Landscapes3 at the APA National Conference in San Francisco in mid-April. Chester County will receive recognition for the NACo Achievement Award at the NACo Conference being held in Las Vegas in July. Landscapes3 seeks to balance preservation and growth across the county’s landscapes in six goal areas: Preserve, Protect, Appreciate, Live, Prosper, and Connect. The plan recommits to core principles that are intended to position the county and its municipalities for success, including resource preservation, revitalized urban and suburban centers, housing diversity, transportation choices, collaboration, and resiliency. The plan establishes a preservation and growth vision for the county and its municipalities, guides county government decision-making, guides municipal planning and implementation, and provides a framework for collaboration across municipal boundaries. Development of the
plan was guided by the planning commission’s nine-member volunteer advisory board, staff, and a steering committee of 27 members who volunteered their time and expertise. The planning commission began the update of its 2009 comprehensive plan, Landscapes2, in late 2016 with the goal of having a new comprehensive plan completed and adopted within the 10-year time frame required by the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code. The planning commission board and staff began implementing the plan after the county commissioners adopted it in late November 2018. Among the projects currently underway are a study titled “Return on Environment: The Economic Value of Protected Open Space” and a National Register of Historic Places map.

Lynn Klumpp. “We will have hamburgers, hot dogs, macaroni salad and baked beans.” She noted that the food comes from the Chester County Food Bank (CCFB), is donated by local grocery stores and is purchased with monetary donations that are placed in a collection bin at each meal. “We don’t want to (ask for donations), but some people said they would not come unless they could (donate),” Klumpp said. All food is prepared by volunteers. While most volunteers at the meal are congregation members, others also assist with the ministry, which was founded by a group of ladies at the church, led by Peggy Stapleford. Klumpp said that about 70 people of all ages attend the dinner each month. The meal is open to everyone, regardless of church affiliation or place of residence, and no registration or proof of income is required. “They just come in and we start serving them,” she explained. “Lately, we have been getting a lot of newcomers.”

Past meals have included meatloaf with potatoes and green beans, ham and turkey for the holidays, homemade chicken potpie, shepherd’s pie and homemade soups.

Church members are on hand to welcome guests and to talk with visitors. “We get to know people. If someone comes in and has a problem, we can sometimes help them out,” said Klumpp. “It’s been a nice community thing.” In addition to the hot dinner, a cart is on hand at the monthly meal that offers nonperishable food items that diners may take home with them. As summer goes on, fresh produce will also be available. Although the church has been serving meals to the community since 2012, the Shepherd’s Kitchen has recently been revitalized. “We really changed to make more comfort food in the last couple of years,” Klumpp point out. “Our numbers were dwindling, and we had to change things. We asked the people what they wanted, and it has worked out really well.” She said the revamping of the meal ministry included a visit to St. Peter United Church of Christ in Knauertown, which offers a free community dinner on the last Friday of each month. Since the Shepherd’s Kitchen meal ministry started first, representatives from St. Peter’s visited the Honey Brook church as well. Honey Brook Presbyterian Church is located at 4331 Horseshoe Pike (Route 322), Honey Brook.

Maximizing Summertime Summer can fly by. Because summer can sometimes seem to come and go in a flash, there are tips that can help everyone to make the most of this time of year. Vacations from work and school are great ways to make summer memories. There are several ways to get even more out of these relaxing breaks from the norm. People should truly disconnect from electronic devices for a period of time to provide themselves with a mental break. Individuals should stop answering work emails, avoid social media, and turn off reminders of things that do not need their attention while on vacation or taking a break. People should consider booking a trip. It is not the destina-
tion but the opportunity to step away from the norm that can help make a person feel like he or she has truly gotten a break. People are encouraged to get away from their surroundings, if only for a weekend. Nearby resorts and water parks are great for short jaunts with children. Another suggestion is to take a week off just to relax. Sometimes a person needs to recharge after going on vacation, as planning a trip and then the trip itself can require a lot of work. Staycations or devoting another week to just lounging around or catching up on tasks around the house can ease pressure. Then it is possible to go back to work or school feeling even more recharged.
It is important to get out of the house or office. People should make it a point to spend time outdoors every day. Suggestions include going for a midday walk, sitting in the park after work, or throwing the ball around with the children in the backyard. Sunlight can be great for the mind and body. Doctors with the Heliotherapy, Light, and Skin Research Center at Boston University Medical Center say sunlight triggers the release of serotonin and other hormones associated with a good mood. Increased exposure to sunlight also can regulate circadian rhythms for better sleep. Sunlight can trigger the release of nitric oxide into blood
KPB To Offer Paint Grants vessels, helping to lower blood pressure. Exploring summer programs is another option. Adults and children can try new skills and explore different talents during the summer. People should consider signing up for a camp or a class that runs several weeks. This will help stimulate the mind. Summer offers the opportunity to visit friends and family. Now that schedules have loosened up, individuals can take the opportunity to increase time spent with friends or family members, whether they live close by or far away. People are encouraged to make it a point to reconnect with someone who has been out of touch.
Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful (KPB) is accepting applications through Friday, June 28, for the 2019 Fresh Paint Days Pennsylvania. The program is designed to provide community groups with paint and painting supplies enabling them to renew a community structure needing fresh paint. This event is held in partnership with support from Behr paint and The Home Depot. Eight grants of up to 20 gallons of exterior paint and a gift card for painting supplies will be awarded to tax-exempt groups within Pennsylvania. Groups will have 30 days in September to complete their projects. Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful will select the eight winning projects from among applications

cleaners can be deadly to pets. In addition, small puppies or kittens can drown in toilets. Keep all toilet lids closed when toilets are not in use. Keep potentially harmful items out of pets’ reach. Household cleaners beneath the kitchen sink are not the only items around the house that can be harmful to pets. Medications should always be stored on high shelves where pets cannot reach them. In addition, make sure all laundry room items, including detergent and dryer sheets, are stored out of pets’ reach. Speak with a veterinarian about human foods that might be harmful to pets and make sure such foods are not left out where pets can reach them. If necessary, make sure all foods are served on dinner tables or kitchen counters that are inaccessible to pets. ¡ Conceal all wires. Today’s homes are more connected than ever before, and that often translates to more wires around the house. Make sure all wires are bundled together and out of the reach and view of pets, as they may be tempted to chew on them. Even wires that are out of reach may tempt pets if they can see them, so pet owners should make concerted efforts to conceal wires. ¡ Move or remove potentially poisonous plants. But prospective pet owners should research each plant in their homes to make sure the plants are not poisonous to animals. Move potentially poisonous plants to places where pets cannot access them. Remove any poisonous floor plants from the home before purchasing or adopting a pet.

Taking care of a pet is a big undertaking, and responsible pet owners recognize that the work begins even before pets come home. Pets, particularly puppies and kittens, tend to be curious. Pet parents can protect pets from their own curiosity by pet-proofing their homes. Pet-proofing a home protects pets from accidents and injuries as they grow acclimated to their surroundings. Here are some ways to keep four-legged friends safe: ¡ Install childproof latches. Much like children after they learn to crawl and then walk, young pets tend to be curious, and that curiosity can put them in precarious positions. Pet owners should install childproof latches on low drawers and cabinets, especially those beneath sinks where potentially harmful cleaning products are typically stored. Curious pet paws may be able to pry or pull open cabinets and drawers, but childproof latches can make that considerably more difficult. ¡ Close toilet lids. While images of puppies drinking from toilets may elicit some laughs, the nonprofit organization American Humane warns that chemicals in common toilet
Summer is synonymous with fun in the sun, road tripping, and unwinding by the pool. But climbing temperatures also mean higher electric bills - and potential strain on the monthly budget. There are several ways to reduce utility costs during the summer months. A person should keep up with regular HVAC maintenance, adjust their thermostat to meet their needs, close up their house during the day, run large appliances in the evening, wash their laundry in cold water and always wash full loads, keep oven use to a minimum, set their water heater to 120 degrees, and seal doors, windows, and other openings.
