St. Mary’s Shelter To Add Transitional Housing Unit

By Francine Fulton

Since 1987, St. Mary’s Franciscan Shelter for Homeless Families in Phoenixville has provided a safe and temporary home for people in need from throughout Chester County. Now, the shelter will soon provide transitional housing for families by converting four former classrooms into twobedroom apartments.

The classrooms were part of St. Mary’s School, a small Catholic elementary school that was run by the Sisters of St. Francis based in Aston.

“At one time (the building that houses the homeless shelter) was the convent where the sisters lived and the school buildings were attached,” explained Sister Bernadette Dougherty, SSJ, executive director of St. Mary’s Shelter. “The school closed when the shelter moved in.”

After St. Mary’s School closed, it was See St. Mary’s pg 3

Ten years ago, Svaroopa Vidya Ashram (SVA) opened its doors in Downingtown. The founder, Swami Nirmalananda, had already been teaching yoga and meditation worldwide for 30 years. She settled her teacher training programs in Pennsylvania in 2007, then established the Ashram as a residential center in 2009. All the practices come from Swami Nirmalananda’s

In honor of SVA’s 10th birthday, a new CD, “Spiritual Hunger & Fulfillment,” has been released. The music tracks Swami Nirmalananda’s own journey, beginning with the yearning that led her to the teachings and continuing through her journey to the fulfillment See SVA pg 5

Local Resident Launches “Gospel Spice” Podcast

By Francine Fulton

Traditionally, those who would like to learn more about their faith would speak with their pastor, read related books or take part in a Bible study. Now, there is an additional way for people to get a new perspective about the Scriptures.

Chester County resident Stephanie Rousselle recently launched a new podcast called “Gospel Spice,” which strives to “spice up” people’s time with God. People may listen to the podcast at www.gospel-spice.com, or they may download the episodes and listen to them on their phones, tablets or laptops.

“A podcast is like a radio show, (and) it’s free,” Rousselle explained. “It is something you download, and you can listen anytime you want on your computer, phone or tablet. It’s accessible 24/7. It is the ultimate tool (for communication).

Joanna Furnace from pg 1

R050192

While Historic Joanna Furnace Iron Works is known for its popular events that bring history to life, the site is currently undergoing several restoration projects designed to preserve history as well.

In 2019, the Hay Creek Valley Historical Association (HCVHA), the nonprofit organization that formed to maintain, restore and preserve the historic site, will invest approximately $300,000 in several projects, including preserving the blast furnace bosh, rebuilding the wheelwright shop and installing shutters in the office/store. In addition, a team of students from the Kutztown University Department of Anthropology and Sociology is working on an archaeological study in the cellar of the office/store before a brick floor will be installed.

Phase One of the Joanna Furnace bosh preservation has been completed. The bosh is the firebrick interior lining of the blast furnace, where temperatures once exceeded 3,000 degrees when the furnace was in operation.

The project was underwritten by a

Pennsylvania Historic and Museum Commission (PHMC) Keystone Historic Preservation Grant, a grant from the Berks County Community Foundation and a grant from the Louis J. Appell Jr., Preservation Fund, along with support from the HCVHA members and supporters.

The work was completed by the International Chimney Corporation of Buffalo, N.Y., known for successfully relocating the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse.

Restoration of the wheelwright shop recently began after nearly 15 years of research by archaeology volunteers. According to HCVHA executive director Mark Zerr, the building stood until the late 1940s. “It was the wheelwright’s responsibility to keep the company’s wagons on the road,” Zerr explained. “His job was to construct wheels, spokes, hubs and even the wagons that would haul the charcoal, iron ore and limestone to the site and ultimately transport the finished iron products to market.”

The HCVHA hopes to make the building appear as it did when it was in operation.

“We have only one partial photo, and that shows the southern side of the building,” said Zerr. “We used that as part of our research, which helps us to define how the building was constructed.”

Because only one partial photo of this building exists, the archaeology team provided uncovered artifacts over the years to help with the building’s reconstruction.

In addition to learning the size of the foundation, which measured

Phase One of the furnace bosh preservation project was completed at Historic Joanna Furnace Iron Works. The bosh is the interior lining of the blast furnace, which reached more than 3,000 degrees when the furnace was in operation.

about 17 by 24 feet, they found broken glass, which indicated window placement, as well as door size and roof material. The photo also allowed the restoration team to learn the exact dimensions of the building as well as the pitch of the roof.

The wheelwright shop reconstruction is expected to cost approximately $115,000. Funding came from an anonymous donor family that will underwrite the major portion of the restoration project.

The donation was meant to honor the donor’s father, grandfather and greatgrandfather, who were all wheelwrights.

The Kutztown archaeology students are currently working in the basement of the office/store. After digging through gravel, they discovered a concrete floor. “Someone lived in our office/store at one time as their home, and I suspect this was when the concrete got poured,” said Zerr. “We hope that we can continue our relationship with (the students) and have them come and (study) other areas of our properties at some point.”

The efforts coincide with the historic site’s desire to become a National Historic Landmark. “Every project we undertake within the historic area (is required to) follow the rigorous National Historical Standards as defined by the Federal Historic Preservation Guidelines,” stated Ron Schlegel, HCVHA president.

Joanna Furnace is located at 1250 Furnace Road, Geigertown. For more information, readers may call 610-286-0388, visit www.haycreek.org or search for “Hay Creek Valley Historical Association” on Facebook.

St. Mary’s from pg 1 briefly rented to another school and religious education classes were also held there. “(However), it was never established as a real school again,” Sister Bernadette said. “When I arrived five years ago, it was all empty buildings.”

The far school building, which contained four classrooms and a gym, was demolished. “(The property) has been made into a beautiful garden,” Sister Bernadette said. “The building that remains,

what we call the old school, has four classrooms that will be made into four apartments.”

Each apartment will contain a living area, a dining room, the bedrooms, a bathroom and a kitchen. “(Residents) will be able to come in (a separate entrance).

They will have their own (key) fobs, so no one else would be able to go into their space,” Sister Bernadette said. “They will pay a program fee in order to cover the expenses of them living there and their case manager. It’s a program cost, not rent.”

The building will be handicapped-accessible, offer security and have a storage area near the entrance. “They won’t have to take their strollers or car seats up to their apartments,” Sister Bernadette said.

St. Mary’s works in partnership with local organizations and churches that refer families to the emergency shelter. A family may stay in the shelter for up to eight weeks. All adults must undergo criminal background checks before moving in.

While at the shelter, residents

have presented at the PaLA annual conferences. The Chester County Library also provides in-kind graphic services for the Carolyn Field Awards, conference program books, chapter events, the statewide editorial calendar, and other projects.

are given a private room and may enjoy a communal living space.

This includes a newly renovated kitchen and a children’s playroom.

They are provided with on-site classes in parenting, household management and time management. They also receive help with employment, debt counseling, education, child care and future housing.

“The people we serve are not necessarily from Phoenixville. The

families that are here now - two are from West Chester and one is from Coatesville,” Sister Bernadette said, noting that the shelter can house five families. “They share the dining room and the three bathrooms.

They have their own room, and the rooms are very nice.”

She said that the goal is for families at the shelter to make progress toward independent living. The addition of the transitional housing unit will further that goal.

October 30, 2019 - 3

Bids for the transitional housing project will open in January, and construction should take at least six months. The rooms will then have to be furnished and prepared for occupancy. “It should be open by spring of (2021),” Sister Bernadette stated.

Since 2017, the Chester County Library has also participated in the Office of Commonwealth Libraries’ Turning Outward Initiative. This program has been a three-year commitment of training, coaching, and mentoring in Community Engagement.

Among the library’s accomplishments are its ever-evolving and diverse partnerships with community agencies, including the Financial Stability Center and the Chester County Opportunities Industrialization Center.

The Chester County Library is committed to maintaining a professional, knowledgeable, and well-trained staff. Each year the library holds a Staff Development Day, working closely with Commonwealth Libraries to ensure the library staff members meet continuing education standards.

Swami Nirmalananda (front, second from right) and others recently took part in Swami Sunday at Downingtown Yoga & Meditation Center. Svaroopa Vidya Ashram (SVA) is celebrating its 10th anniversary.

I’m not plagued by feeling lost anymore and feel so at home. It’s like home was just waiting for me.”

Local yogi Shelley Zeichner appreciates the “aha” moments in Swami Nirmalananda’s talks.

“When I go to Swami Sunday this week, I know it will happen again even though I think, ‘What could she possibly say that goes beyond what she said last week?’ I can’t wait to find out!” she said.

Kusuma Sachs, a Svaroopa Yoga teacher/trainer, feels “grateful to be in the presence of such a remarkable teacher.”

“I appreciate what she, as a guru, offers,” said Sachs. “She

guides me forward, respecting my individual pace. As the Ashram celebrates its 10th birthday, I am grateful for all the gifts I have received. My life has opened to an unforeseen level of growth, awareness, selfreflection and understanding.”

People may feel free to drop in at DYMC for more information.

A yoga shop offers gift items, books and meditation and yoga supplies. The front desk is staffed by knowledgeable yogis who can help visitors get started on the yoga path. For more information, readers may call 610-644-7555 or email info@downingtownyoga.org.

Swami said, “Even though my days had been filled with family needs as well as worldly achievements, (they) felt incomplete.

Only when I learned to look inward did I find what made life meaningful. The meditative quest is for a deeper sense of self, the mystical reality that makes the practicalities of life work.

This why I teach in Downingtown, at the crossroads where ancient and modern meet.”

Downingtown Yoga & Meditation Center (DYMC) is the local studio, located at 116 E. Lancaster Ave., near the crossroad of routes 30 and 322. The center offers several free meditation programs weekly, as well as yoga classes and other special programs. No previous meditation or yoga experience is needed.

Bringing yoga’s authentic tradition to the modern world, the center aims to provide a focus on health, peace and spirituality.

Specializing in Svaroopa Yoga, all classes feature slow yoga practice, combining precision with compassion. Svaroopa is a Sanskrit word that means “the bliss of your own being.”

Discovering this bliss in yoga poses and in meditation is the hallmark of this unique yoga style. Teachers customize the

Podcast from pg 1 Does Jesus Say He Is?” and “The Spice of the Gospel.” Each prerecorded episode lasts between 25 and 30 minutes. When a guest speaker is featured, the podcast will be slightly longer. “‘Gospel Spice’ is for anyone who has experienced a level of staleness in their relationship with God or those who feel their relationship with God is boring or running dry and it’s not that exciting,” Rousselle said. “‘Gospel Spice’ is your new secret ingredient to spice up your relationship with God.” Rousselle, who has traveled extensively, has been a guest speaker at church and women’s events for the past 20 years. She also leads the women’s Bible study at Calvary Fellowship Church. She said that her knowledge of various cultures can add to the Christian experience, noting that her perspective is also unique because she grew up as an atheist.

“I came to faith as a young adult (after) I came to the U.S. as a foreign exchange student (from France) at 16,” Rousselle noted. “I have spent the last two decades of my life on three continents, four countries and five cities. This has given me unique insights into our

When we enter our relationship with God and a reading of the Bible with the proper cultural perspective, it’s more exciting.”

She said that producing the podcast is a way to introduce the Gospel to people of all ages. “I think it’s investing in the future. It’s how millennials love to

consume content,” Rousselle said.

Since its launch, “Gospel Spice” has reached more than 1,000 people across all of the podcast platforms. In addition to listening to the podcast online, readers may subscribe to “Gospel Spice” on their phones by visiting the app store.

Craft And Vendor Show from pg 1

By Francine Fulton

Pope John Paul II Regional Catholic Elementary School (PJP II), 2875 Manor Road (Route 82), West Brandywine, will present its third annual craft and vendor show on Saturday, Nov. 2, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. During the event, shoppers will be able to purchase items made by local crafters, as well as merchandise from direct-sale business vendors. There will also be a sale of homemade baked goods and lunch items.

“We are expanding our lunch options this year,” said event chairperson Kirstin Wentz McElroy. “Kelly’s in Thorndale is making wraps for us, as well as chicken noodle and tomato soups. We will still offer hot dogs and soft pretzels like we had last year. “ We will expand the bake table this year as well,” she added. Community members are invited to donate baked

goods for the sale. Items can be dropped off on Nov. 2 from 7 to 9 a.m. in the main lobby.

Eat-in and takeout options will be available for food items and snacks. “ We will have tables set up, sort of like a café,” said Wentz McElroy.

Additionally, a random drawing will take place. Wentz McElroy explained that each of the 80 vendors has been asked to donate an item for the drawing.

Visitors will be able to purchase tickets to enter the drawing, and they do not need to be present to win. “Starting at around 1:30 p.m., we will draw names,” Wentz McElroy pointed out.

“New this year is that people can check the craft show web page and Facebook page to see if they won an item.”

Food, the baked goods sale and prize items will be located in the school lobby. The sale of crafts will take place in the school gymnasium. Among the items offered for sale will be jewelry, soaps, pet products,

wooden items, pottery, embroidery, artwork and photography, hand-sewn products, headbands and scarves and toys. Home-based business vendors that will be represented include Arbonne, Avon, LuLaRoe, Mary Kay and others. “ We had an overwhelming response (from crafters), and we have a waiting list. A lot of crafters are returning, but we will have new ones, too,” Wentz McElroy said, noting that the craft show is timed to coincide with the holiday shopping season.

The craft and vendor show is open to the public, and admission is free. All proceeds will benefit PJP II, which serves students in prekindergarten through eighth grade. PJP II also offers a child care program, Little Saints Academy, which is open to infants and toddlers ages 3 months to 36 months.

Students who attend the school are from Coatesville, Downingtown, Honey Brook,

Thorndale, Morgantown, Gap, Parkesburg and surrounding communities. The school’s partner parishes are St. Peter in West Brandywine, Our Lady of the Rosary in Coatesville, St. Joseph in Coatesville and Our Lady of Consolation in Parkesburg.

“A friendship quilt, circa 1950s, was Pat’s first attempt at quilting when her grandmother, Gertrude Getzlaff, had designed a colorful selection of fabric tulips that were sewn by appliqué on the quilt top,” Wright explained. “On display will be a quilt top of pansy baskets, patterned by appliqué and embroidery, and a treasured vintage red and white bed coverlet.”

Both the schoolhouse and the Cadwalader House, owned

by Uwchlan Township, are open to the public the first Sunday of every month from April through November.

Admission is free, and visitors of all ages are welcome.

The schoolhouse was established in 1859 and operated as a township school for 100 years. It is named for the teacher who taught there from 1929 to 1956, who was also township secretary for nine years.

It is now a restored one-room schoolhouse, and visitors are able to see the 1880 slate chalkboard, books and the cast-iron stove that heated the room.

Visitors can view the original school bell, as well as old schoolbooks and learning cards used by students. Wright pointed out that some local residents, now in their 70s and 80s, were students in the school when it was in operation.

Wright said that both longtime local residents and those new to the area attend the monthly open houses. “People who (tour the schoolhouse) went to school there or they want to bring their grandchildren,” she said. “Some people are interested in history, and some are new people and did not grow up in this area and want to know more about it.”

Sheriff’s Office Welcomes New Deputy The Chester County Sheriff’s Office welcomed a new deputy sheriff recently. Chester County Sheriff Carolyn Bunny Welsh administered the oath to Deputy Sheriff Darren L. Smith on Sept.

30. Smith was accompanied by his mother and sister, who had traveled two hours from northern New Jersey to attend. A native of Bergen County in New Jersey, Smith said the occasion marked the successful completion of a quest that began about three years ago.

Smith graduated from Paramus High School in New Jersey and went on to earn a degree in communications from Ramapo College of New Jersey. He said he held a diverse array of jobs, but the one that brought him the most fulfillment was serving as a police reserve officer in his hometown. Smith moved to Chester County in 2016. By then, he was committed to pursuing a full-time career in law enforcement and enrolled in Delaware County’s Police Academy.

At the academy, he became friends with two women who shared his passion for police work. The two happened to work

Smith’s swearing-in ceremony, held in Courtroom 3 of the Chester County Justice Center, included an invocation from retired Captain Joseph Carbo and opening and closing songs by former Lt. Eileen Law Stewart.

Chief Deputy Jason Suydam and Welsh both made introductory remarks.

Smith has said he is eager to explore the many opportunities the Sheriff’s Office offers, particularly its community outreach programs.

A National Juvenile Justice Week forum was recently organized by the League of Women Voters of Chester County (LWVCC). Participants included state Sen. Andy Dinniman, state Rep. Dan Williams, local and state police, and juvenile justice officials.

The forum, held at Westminster Presbyterian Church in West Chester, included discussions on holding youths accountable for their actions, engaging them in activities to restore victims and communities, and ensuring sufficient opportunities to move them toward productive citizenship and away from further criminal activity.

Dinniman, who serves as minority chair of the Senate Education Committee, presented an official Senate resolution recognizing Juvenile Justice Week and discussed the importance of recognizing the impact of trauma on children and young people.

In attendance were police and law enforcement officers from var-

ious departments, including the City of Coatesville Police Department, the South Coatesville Police Department, and the Caln Township Police Department, as well as troopers from the Pennsylvania State Police.

At the event, Dinniman and Williams recognized four individuals with special Senate citations for their contributions to the juvenile justice community.

The honorees include Cpl. Jason Culbertson of the Caln Township Police Department, who works as a youth mentor in the Coatesville Area School District, and Officer Justin Fonock of the South Coatesville Police Department, who assisted a mother and her two children after they were struck by a motorist.

Dinniman and Williams also honored Cpl. Reginald Easterling Jr., a patrol unit supervisor with the Pennsylvania State Police.

Easterling, who has spent many hours mentoring at-risk youths, served previously as the Chester

State Sen. Andy Dinniman (left) presents a Senate citation to Calvin Grove, a Coatesville native and former champion boxer, who works to mentor at-risk youths in the Coatesville community through boxing and other sports activities.

Country community service officer for Embreeville Barracks. He is also a former director of the Chester County Camp Cadet Program and a founding advisory board member of the Coatesville Area Juvenile Alliance.

The fourth honoree was Calvin Grove, a Coatesville native and boxer who rose to fame as IBF featherweight world champion in 1988. He continues to mentor atrisk youths in the Coatesville area through participation in sports and other activities.

The event also included a roundtable discussion featuring Gary Blair, director of the Chester County Youth Center; Don Corry, chief of Chester County Juvenile Probation; Keisha Hudson, Montgomery County deputy public defender; Jane Kennedy, Caln Township Youth Aid Panel; Rene D. Merion, Chester County deputy district attorney; Analisa Sondegaard, magisterial district judge; and Bob Tomassini, deputy director of the juvenile court judges.
