During the day, seniors were able to sign up for the Chester County Food Bank’s Senior Food Box Program and were given a voucher to purchase fresh produce on-site. The day also included a free fan distribution and complimentary hamburgers, hot dogs and beverages provided by CASC. The event was presented by CASC, the Brandywine Health Foundation, the Chester County Food Bank (CCFB) and PECO, which partnered together to distribute 100 fans to local residents. The fans were given to lowincome residents, with the primary distribution to seniors. “The priority is to keep our older folks cool,” said George Ramon, CASC

Recipients can pick up their boxes at 30 community sites, including food pantries, senior centers and senior housing facilities. “(To receive the boxes,) you have to be age 60 or above and there is a certain (qualifying) income level,” explained Rose-Muir, noting boxes can be picked up at any senior center in Chester County. “The box contains about 23 different shelf-stable items. There is also a recipe that coincides with the items See CASC pg 2

Junior National Field Hockey Team

By Francine Fulton

When his sister’s field hockey team was without a goalie, Toby Peck, at the age of 9, stepped in as a substitute.

After that experience, Toby has been playing the game ever since and was recently named to the United States Men’s Junior National Indoor Field Hockey Team. Although field hockey is more commonly a women’s sport in the United States, the men’s national team is currently ranked 24th in the world, according to Intentional Hockey Federation (FIH) World Rankings.

Toby, 15, who will be a sophomore this fall at Downingtown High School West (DHSW), was named to the junior national team after taking part in tryouts in March at The Training Center in Pottstown, which were held by USA Field Hockey. The junior national team is a developmental team that is open to

Senior boxes are designed to meet the nutritional needs of older adults by including foods with low sodium and reduced sugar content. “We try to make the items as healthy as we can,” Rose-Muir said.

Each box is decorated by volunteers with crayon drawings and encouraging messages. Rose-Muir said the activity is geared toward children. “It’s a sweet thing because

kids love to help but they can’t be in the (CCFB) warehouse,” she noted.

“Scout groups or church groups decorate them so that the seniors get a decorated box.”

Those interested in volunteer opportunities in packing the boxes or in decorating them are asked to contact Rose-Muir at 610-8736000, ext. 109, or crosemuir@ chestercountyfoobank.org. More information about the program is available at www.chestercounty foodbank.org/programs-education/ direct-distribution/senior-food -boxes.

Those who visited the CASC on July 29 also had the opportunity to receive a $20 voucher through the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture’s Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP).

Those who qualified were able to spend their annual voucher right

at the senior center at a fresh produce stand opened on-site

by Vollmecke Orchards. Items offered for purchase included corn on the cob, squash, zucchini, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions and potatoes.

To learn more about the voucher program, readers may visit www.agriculture.pa.gov, choose “Food” and then “Food Assistance.”

Also on hand at the senior center was CCFB’s Fresh2You Mobile Market truck, which offers fresh produce at sites throughout Chester County.

Village Of Sadsburyville from pg 1

By Marcella Peyre-Ferry

The community is invited to take a tour of historic Sadsburyville without having to brave the August heat.

As part of Chester County’s Town Tours and Village Walks program, a special supper lecture and armchair tour will take place on Thursday, Aug. 15, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Historic Yellow Springs, 1685 Art School Road, Chester Springs. Registration will begin at 5:30 p.m.

The program will feature photographs and a presentation by Dick Dague, president of the Sadsbury Township Historical Society. “I already had a slideshow that I presented to the township called ‘Historic Buildings in Sadsbury Township.’ I’ve taken the slideshow I already had and eliminated everything that was not Sadsburyville,” Dague said. “I parked my car at the township building and walked from one end of Sadsburyville to the other and back.”

Located on U.S. Business Route 30 about 5 miles west of Coatesville, the settlement that would become Sadsburyville began as early as 1729. The area experienced growth in 1794 when the first macadamized road in the country was laid through the settlement and the Sadsbury Hotel became a welcome stop for turnpike travelers.

Early settlers were a mixture of Friends from England and Scotch-Irish Presbyterians. Some believe that Sadsburyville may have been named for Sudbury in the county of Suffolk, England.

Those who attend the upcoming program will see images and

(Circa 1875): A Town Within A Town” on Thursday, Aug. 22, beginning at 5 p.m. In the late 1800s, Johnsontown was initially the home of Irish residents, many of whom worked on the railroad. After World War I, Italian immigrants moved into the area, creating St. Anthony’s Lodge, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2019.

Parking for the walking tour will be available on the west side of St. Anthony’s Lodge, 259 Church St., Downingtown. Additional free parking will be available at the Downingtown Borough lot (Johnsontown Park) at 122 Viaduct Ave. A shuttle bus will be available to transport guests to St. Anthony’s Lodge.

On Thursday, Aug. 29, the tour will be at Brandywine Meadow Farm, home of Charles E. Mathers Brandywine Hounds (circa 1901). Included will be a visit from the Radnor Hunt and an optional 25th Town Tour anniversary dinner. Parking will be available at Radley Run Country Club, 1100 Country Club Road, West Chester. The first tour will begin at 4:30 p.m.; the last tour will begin at 7:15 p.m.

The anniversary celebration buffet dinner will be served from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Those who are staying for dinner are asked to register in advance by contacting Kim Jones at 610-793-1660.

hear stories from the past as well as get a chance to view the community as it exists today. Both historic and modern sites will be included in the lecture. Weather permitting, a guided tour of Historic Yellow Springs will be offered after the lecture.

“I was thinking it made more sense to go to the dinner, see the slideshow and then drive through the town so you would know what to look for. But it wouldn’t hurt to drive through ahead of time,” Dague said.

Dague has a personal connection to Sadsbury Township history. His family has lived in the township since 1720, and his great-great-great-great-grandfather was the first pastor of the Upper Octorara Presbyterian Church in Parkesburg.

Space in the lecture program is limited to 50 participants, and tickets must be purchased in advance. For more information on the event and to purchase tickets, readers may visit www.chescoplanning.org/His Resources/TownToursAug.cfm.

Tickets can also be purchased at www.eventbrite.com by searching for “CCHPN Supper Lecture & Armchair Tour - Village of Sadsburyville.”

This is the 25th summer of Chester County’s Town Tours and Village Walks program. Tours began on June 13 at the historic Church of the Holy Trinity in West Chester. The theme of this year’s series is “Then and Now.” Tours are sponsored by the Chester County commissioners through the Chester County Planning Commission and its partners.

“Kathy (Manidis, pool manager) said that 7,000 (people) come to the pool each year to swim,” said Sister Brenda McHugh, center director. “So many kids have grown up learning to swim here.”

Sister Brenda reported that on the day of the festival, the tour of the Langoma mansion will be new and improved. Those who have toured the building before will learn new information about the building, which has 183 windows, 20 fireplaces and 22 bathrooms. The home’s attractions include staircases made of marble, onyx and alabaster and a stained-glass window made of Tiffany glass.

“Sister Kathy has been doing so much research for the tour.

She has gone to the historical society and found additional facts in our archives,” Sister Brenda said. “We will have people dressed in period costumes. Mrs. Potts will greet people at the door, and there will be an opening PowerPoint personation while people are waiting. It’s a lot of fun and interesting facts. The tour is rerouted and rewritten with all kinds of additional facts.”

A fee will be charged to tour the mansion.

St. Mary of Providence is located at 227 Isabella Road, Elverson. For more information or to rent a vendor space by Thursday, Aug. 8, readers may call 610-942-4166. More information can be found at www.stmaryofprov-pa.org or by searching for “St Mary of Providence Center” on Facebook.

In addition to the majestic Langoma mansion at St. Mary of Providence Retreat Center in Elverson, which was built in 1894 by the Potts family of local ironmasters, the site includes a heated indoor swimming pool that is open to the public for swim lessons, lap swimming and family swims.

To help maintain the pool, a festival fundraiser, “Save Our Pool,” has been set for Saturday, Aug. 10, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the retreat center. The festival will feature an outdoor barbecue and vendors offering crafts and yard sale items, as well as tours of the historic mansion. Visitors will also be able to swim in the pool. All proceeds will be used for the pool’s re-roofing and to restore air circulation in the pool, which goes from 3 to 9 feet in depth.

The pool is located behind the Langoma mansion. The Daughters of St. Mary of Providence acquired the mansion in 1948 to be used as a training and education center for mentally challenged children. The pool was built in the 1970s for the children to use for swimming and therapy.

In 1984, the youngsters were transferred to a new complex built by the Diocese of Philadelphia in Springfield, Delaware County. The property, including the pool, was given a new purpose as a retreat center and senior living facility.

Pool memberships are available, or people can pay an admission fee per visit. Since the center is nonprofit, all proceeds from admission fees are put into the pool’s upkeep and maintenance.

While playing goalie, Toby is well protected by his gear. “I wear leg protectors and a chest protector, elbow pads, a neck protector, a helmet and hand pads, one of which my hockey stick goes into,” he explained. “We play with a ball (that is) bigger than a baseball and a lacrosse ball, and it’s really

hard plastic. It’s not a puck and it’s not bouncy. We play on a field, but Europeans call it a pitch. It is Astroturf for the most part, but sometimes the high schools have football turf or real grass (playing fields).”

He said being a goaltender involves having the ability to stop a ball that is coming toward him at a very fast clip. “It was scary at the beginning, but once you realize you have all these pads on, it doesn’t affect me that much,” Toby stated. “I still duck if a ball is coming at my head because it’s instinctive, but if there is a body shot to my torso or arms, I deflect.”

This summer, in addition to a part-time job, Toby is preparing for the fall hockey season by working out at the gym and playing in local practice games. His goal is to one day play for the U.S. National Men’s Field Hockey Team.

plays internationally and in the annual Pan Am indoor games,” explained Toby’s mother, Liz. “They will have opportunities to play here in the States most likely against older, higher skilled girls’ teams because boys’ field hockey is not built up enough yet in the U.S. to give them competitive play.”

Currently, the junior team practices one weekend a month at The Training Center since the boys come from many East Coast states and one player is from California.

Toby explained how his untraditional career in field hockey came about. “My twin sister, Kari, used to play field hockey for the United Field Hockey Club at USTC (the United Sports Training Center),” he said. “The team (at the time) did not have a goalkeeper. I offered, and the coach said, ‘Bring him in.’ I did it and fell in love with it and played the entire season.”

Toby said that that the spectators were not accustomed to seeing a male goalkeeper on a girls’ team. “It’s unheard of,” he stated.

“A lot of people were surprised when I took my helmet off and they saw it wasn’t a girl.”

Toby is currently a practice player on DHSW’s varsity field hockey team but does not play during games because boys are

Participants are encouraged to bring their own labeled water bottles. Light refreshments will be provided during the breaks.

Hansen said that no experience is needed, and no partners are required, although bringing a friend is recommended. “If you can walk forwards and backwards and count to eight, you are ready for folk dancing,” she stated. “It is meant to be social. That means that the students will have opportunities to move around and interact with different people throughout to the night. No one will be paired off. No partners are required, but it’s more fun with a friend. There will be an opportunity to learn something; it’s not the same pressure as a high school dance.”

Hansen said that she did not discover dance until after high school but would have loved to take up the hobby as a teenager. “I loved to read historical novels as a kid, but I didn’t discover social dancing until I was

in college,” said Hansen. “This is exactly the kind of activity I’d have loved as a teen.”

Summerwind Dance Society also hosts monthly social dances for high school students in Newtown Square on the second Saturday of each month during the school year. “I have a group of families that I connect with in the Newtown Square area, and I am trying to do more locally and build a network of people closer to the Downingtown and Exton area,” Hansen said. “I am a public educator as my career and this is just a passion and a hobby for me. (The dance society) is a community organization trying to get more dancing out there and make more opportunities available.”

She added that Summerwind Dance Society’s mission statement is: “To bring the joy of dance to the lives of everyone, especially teens and young adults, and in doing so build our sense of community.”

received the award at the NACo annual conference in Clark County, Nev. The Digital Counties judging panel commended Chester County on its website’s responsivedesign content management system, the digitization of several forms and applications, and the introduction of an e-filing option.

The judges also highlighted efforts to provide translation of key webpages for Spanish-speaking residents.

A menu option on the www.chesco.org homepage lists all information available in Spanish, and the county’s

decision to use a local translation service instead of standard translation software was made so that the translations reflect the cultural language of the Chester County community.

The Digital Counties Survey is conducted annually in the spring. All U.S. counties are invited to participate in the survey, which examines the overall technology programs and plans of the county.

Motorcycle Ride from pg 1 A motorcycle ride took place on July 20 to collect donations of school supplies for the children served by North Star of Chester County, a local homelessness prevention nonprofit. Riders and supporters gathered at West Chester Cycle on Downingtown Pike in West Chester to join in the hour-long trek.

Mike Podgurski, the co-owner of West Chester Cycle, organized the event after learning about North Star’s program and the families they serve. Bikers brought new backpacks full of school supplies, the entry fee for the ride.

North Star of Chester County serves single working parents, preventing homelessness and

promoting self-sufficiency. It provides ongoing financial assistance to help keep families in their homes while it works one-on-one with parents to help them become self-sufficient through case management and education.

Because they work full-time, many North Star participants earn too much to qualify for other assistance programs but not enough to get by on their own.

The school supplies collected will go to the children of parents in North Star’s program. The agency will distribute backpacks, notebooks, pencils, crayons, binders, and more at the agency’s annual summer picnic, a private gathering for the families it serves.

The Backpack Run, led by Officers Janders, Devito, and Gardner of the Chester County Sheriff’s Office, sent riders on a scenic tour of the county, ending at Timothy’s Sports Bar and Restaurant in West Chester. Timothy’s participated in the event, giving a portion of proceeds to North Star of Chester County.

The Chester County Commissioners announced the significant achievement of the county’s Health Department in earning national accreditation from the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB). To earn this accolade, the health department underwent a rigorous, multi-faceted, peerreviewed assessment process to ensure it met or exceeded a set of public health quality standards and measures.

The PHAB national accreditation program is supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and is the national standard for public health in the United States. Its aim is to improve and protect the health of the public by advancing and transforming the quality and performance of governmental public health agencies in the U.S. and abroad.

Chester County’s Health Department plays a critical role in protecting and improving the health of everyone in the community.
