Local Students Complete Coding Program By Francine Fulton
Girls Who Code, a national nonprofit organization, was formed six years ago in order to encourage young women to pursue careers in computer technology. Locally, a Girls Who Code evening program was offered at the Henrietta Hankin Branch Library in Chester Springs, where girls in grades six through 12 spent 10 weeks learning how to code. Coding, which means to write computer programming, is used to develop apps, websites and software. The culmination of the project was to create a website, which was unveiled at the final session of the group on Nov. 20. The event included a pizza party for all participants. Girls involved in the program were from various local schools, including the Downingtown STEM Academy, Downingtown High School East, Downingtown
Middle School, Lionville Middle School and Pope John Paul II Regional Catholic Elementary School (PJP II) in West Brandywine. The facilitator was Mike Mize, who volunteered to lead the program. “The fundamental reason the program exists is because girls are underrepresented in the computer programming field,” he said. “The goal (of the course) was to solve a problem. (The girls) brainstormed potential problems, and they choose to address pollution, which is the theme of the website.” The website that the girls created, www.pollutionsoullution02.weebly.com, includes information about water pollution, including the various types of pollution and possible ways to contain it. “They used a website as a framework and then embedded code onto the website,” Mize explained. “There were two main types of programming they could See Coding Program pg 12

well as those from out of town who were visiting relatives in the area for the holiday. “As is the case each year, we had many local runners as well as participants from all over the country from Georgia and Kentucky to Massachusetts and from New Jersey to Colorado - usually in (town) visiting family nearby,” said Gregory. “ We had great showing from Honey Brook as well and many families that have made this a tradition. “Our youngest registered participant was 1 year old, and the oldest was 75,” Gregory added. He credited the more than 40 volunteers who made the race a success, as well as Dick Fitch, who did the timing for the 1mile run, and the 30 local businesses that sponsored or donated to the race. The top overall male winner was Ben Zook of Gordonville, with a time of 18 minutes, 10 seconds. The top overall female winner was Traci Tempone of Lancaster, with a time of 20:52. There were 353 finishers in the 5K race. In the 1-mile fun run, there were 38 finishers. Elias McConaghay, 7, of Westbrook,
N.Y., came in first, with a time of 6:53. Everett Olsen of Honey Brook, 11, finished in second place, with a time of 6:54. In third place for the boys and fourth place overall was Micah Boyer, 8, of Honey Brook, with a time of 7:30. The first girl finisher of the fun run was Katie Brass, 11, of Akron, who was also the third overall finisher, with a time of 7:12. Naomi Rigg, 10, of Lynchburg, Va., with a time of 7:33, finished in second place for the girls. The third-place girl was Kaylee Zimmerman, 7, of Stevens, with a time of 8:14.

Making Lighting Displays Safer S852817

Cold temperatures did not keep runners and walkers from taking part in the annual Turkey Bowl held on Thanksgiving morning at Tel Hai Camp and Retreat in Honey Brook. “We had a beautiful but very, very cold 27th annual Turkey
Bowl race - coldest on record from what I understand,” stated Bruce Gregory, camp director. “Despite the frigid weather, we had 429 participants, plus about 45 race staff.” The Turkey Bowl, which included a 5K race around the camp, as well as a 1-mile fun run for children, attracted local residents, as
Lighting displays are one of the many things that help make the holiday season a special time of year. Holiday lighting displays present a perfect opportunity for communities and individuals to showcase their festive sides. Safety should always be a priority when stringing holiday lights both inside and outside a home. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) notes that each year between 2009 and 2014, fire departments in the United States responded to an average of 210 home fires that started with Christmas trees. Lighting displays strung on home exteriors also can pose safety risks if homeowners do not exercise
caution. Fortunately, various strategies can help homeowners safely decorate their homes’ interiors and exteriors this holiday season. The NFPA recommends celebrants who prefer natural Christmas trees choose ones with fresh, green needles that do not fall off when touched. Dry trees are more likely to catch fire than freshly cut trees. Adding water to the tree stand each day will keep trees fresher longer. When placing the tree, avoid placing it too close to heat sources, making sure it is at least three feet away from fireplaces, radiators, candles, heat vents, and lights. All lights, including those going on trees inside a home and
those being strung outside, should be inspected prior to being strung. Owners should look for any worn or broken cords and replace any defected lights. When stringing lights, individuals should always work with at least one other person. This makes it safe for homeowners who must climb ladders to string lights on especially tall trees and/or on their home exteriors. People should avoid working outdoors in inclement weather. The weather during the holiday season can sometimes be unpleasant or unpredictable. People should check the forecast before stringing exterior lights to ensure Mother Nature will not
pose a threat. They should avoid hanging lights if the forecast predicts wet, icy, or windy conditions that can make ladders unstable. Individuals should turn lights off when going to bed and/or leaving the house. Interior and exterior holiday lights should not be left on when no one is home or everyone inside is sleeping. If left on overnight or when no one is home, lights may contribute to fires that damage homes and may even prove fatal. Holiday lighting displays help make this time of year special. Following some simple safety procedures when decorating with lights can ensure everyone enjoys a safe and happy holiday season.

OneRunTogether (ORT), a nonprofit organization that provides spiritual and financial support to cancer patients undergoing treatment, recently held its fourth annual fundraising dinner and silent auction at the Downingtown Country Club. The organization raised $32,000 during the event, which was attended by more than 150 guests. “We raised $2,000 more than last year, so we were pleased with that,� said Vernon Murphy, ORT founder and executive director. He noted that because local businesses sponsored the cost of the evening, the entire amount of the night’s donations will be able to go directly to help cancer patients. In addition to the meal, the event included a silent auction where attendees placed bids on items such as artwork, gift baskets, gift certificates, Flyers tickets and more. Cynthia Weaver, a cancer patient who has received funds from ORT, and her husband, Hermond, were guest speakers at the dinner. Cynthia is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Murphy also shared his vision and motivation for
starting the ministry after losing his wife, Beth, to breast cancer in 2009. He explained that the name of the organization refers to the 5K runs that are held by ORT throughout the year, along with other fundraisers. The charity’s motto is “OneRunTogether - so no one fights cancer alone.� Those interested in seeking funds while undergoing treatment may complete an application at www.oneruntogether.org by clicking on Patient Grant Application. ORT’s board of directors reviews all applications, which must be signed and submitted by an oncologist or a certified professional. After an application is approved, bills are submitted for direct payment. Murphy personally delivers the grant money to patients throughout Berks and Chester counties, and he spends time with each of the cancer patients. He also presents them with a Bible. “I end up being more blessed talking to the people. I have gotten so many amazing reactions,� he stated. “It (may be easier) to mail a check, but they appreciate the fact that someone comes to see them.� Since 2011, more than 275 patients have received help

SALT Performing Arts will present “Newsies,” the popular Disney film turned Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, at its theater in the West Pikeland Township Building, 1645 Art School Road, Chester Springs. Performances will be held on Fridays, Dec. 7 and 14, from 7 to 9 p.m; on Saturdays, Dec. 8 and 15, from 2 to 4 p.m. and from 7 to 9 p.m.; and on Sundays, Dec. 9 and 16, from 2 to 4 p.m. Based on the 1992 motion picture, “Newsies” is based on the historical newsboy strike of 1899 and revolves around poor and orphaned teenagers in New York City, who are selling newspapers for a penny a paper. They take on newspaper moguls William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer, who are trying to take away more of their meager profits. Jack Kelly, played by Kai Kasiguran, becomes the leader who rallies the newsies from across the city to take a stand and strike against the powerful publishers. Their cause becomes even bigger than any of the newsies imagined when they realize they are fighting for all the children working in unfair and unsafe conditions across the country. “Newsies” features a Tony Award-winning score that includes songs like “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the Day” and “Santa Fe.”

in Downingtown have provided space to allow volunteers to create the arrangements. “ We are so touched by the incredible response and support that we have received in a few short months,” Adams stated. “At the rate we are growing, we will soon need additional donated designated space.” People willing to deliver the flowers are also needed. “Our goal is to pair the gifting of the flowers with a friendly visit,” Adams stated. Adams said that there have been a number of clinical studies done on the impact of flowers on the elderly. “Rutgers University did a study and found that flowers decrease depression and increase positive moods and increase memory and (desire for) socialization,” she reported. Adams said that she is pleased at the progress of the newly formed nonprofit. “When you think about it, 1,200 people received bouquets, and that makes us happy,” she added.

OIC Tutoring Program Seeks Volunteers rs Online Training Available By Francine Fulton
The Chester County Opportunities Industrialization Center (OIC) is currently seeking volunteers willing to help individuals from other countries with their English language skills through its adult tutoring program. No experience is necessary, but volunteers must have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree. According to Debbie Rikess, who is the new adult tutoring program coordinator, there is a current waiting list of 22 people located throughout Chester County who are in need of volunteer
she said. Tutors are asked to meet with a student for a minimum of three hours a week for at least one year. “We ask them to meet at public locations,” Rikess explained. “We have a lot of people from Exton, West Chester, Downingtown and Coatesville that like to meet at the Chester County Library in Exton. “It’s a great location for people to meet.” She said that most student/tutor pairs meet twice a week for an hour and a half each time. In the past, tutors were required to attend a training workshop held at the library in Exton. Now, the program offers online training for tutors. “We recently switched to online training

can map their current location to document a concern or choose an address or roadway, as well as other relevant location information, and even upload photos related to the concern. These descriptions will provide better information for PennDOT staff and can reduce the amount of time needed to gather more information from customers submitting concerns. As of Sept. 30, the previous Customer Care Center had nearly 45,000 concerns submitted this year. More than 96 percent of those concerns have been resolved. Motorists are asked to be as specific as possible when providing locations of concerns. Motorists should report the county, municipality, street name, and state route number, which can be found on small black and white signs posted along state highways. In addition, a description of any familiar landmarks would be helpful for PennDOT to locate the problem area. Maintenance concerns will be corrected as soon as possible.

displays that are pretty sizeable,” Adams noted. “It’s unsettling to (families) that they have these arrangements that are works of art and they (may) end up in a dumpster.” Likewise, wedding flowers and centerpieces from wedding receptions are also welcome. “We suggest that (couples) put a note on the tables stating that their first charitable act as a couple is to donate their flowers to Petals Please,” Adams said, noting that the organization does not charge a fee to pick up flowers from weddings or funerals. Since the founding of Petals Please, volunteers have delivered flowers to Meals on Wheels recipients and provided flowers to local churches that held Thanksgiving dinners for those in need. “After the shootings at the synagogue in Pittsburgh, we made large arrangements and delivered them to all the local synagogues to show solidarity and support,” noted Adams. “We’re not really limited.” Petals Please serves all of Chester County, as well as parts of Lancaster and Delaware counties.

For locations that do not allow glass containers, volunteers use decorated plastic peanut butter jars. Adams said she conceived the idea to form Petals Please after patients in the hospice where she worked received flowers that were left over from an event. “Once I retired from hospice, I decided to do this on a bigger scale,” she noted. Adams said that she is asking local funeral directors to encourage families that lost a loved one to donate large arrangements to Petals Please. “If you think about a funeral service, there are gorgeous

Victory Baptist from pg 1 By Francine Fulton
A holiday play titled “A Christmas Wish� will be presented at Victory Baptist Church in Chester Springs on Sunday, Dec. 16, at 10:45 a.m. The production is free and open to the public. The event will take place in the church sanctuary in lieu of the regular Sunday morning worship service. The original play was written by college student Daniel Mawson Jr., the son of pastor Daniel Mawson Sr., and it features a cast composed of church members. “The (idea) behind the play is what if Jesus had never come,�
explained assistant pastor Drew Haye. “It’s almost like ‘It’s a Wonderful Life.’ When (Daniel) wrote it, he had some folks that go to our church in mind. He approached them, and they agreed to (performing in) it.� In addition to the dialogue, the production will feature a variety of Christmas music. “The choir will sing about five numbers or so, and we have a kids’ choir that is singing and an instrumental group that will play as well,� said Haye. “There will be some traditional Christmas carols that people will recognize and some (lesser-known) Christmasthemed music.�
Approximately 60 church members are involved in the production, including the actors, singers, musicians and crew members. “We are starting to construct the set right now,� Haye said. “A lot of people pitch in and help out; it’s wonderful.� Victory Baptist Church presents a Christmas play each holiday season. Last year, the church staged “Christmas at Home,� which told the story of a wounded soldier who was trying to get home to spend Christmas with his family. “The timing (of the plays) couldn’t be better. A lot of people have lost the meaning of Christmas,� Haye stated. The public is encouraged to attend the upcoming play, whether they belong to a church or not. First-time visitors will receive a special Christmas gift. “Whoever wants to come is welcome. It’s not something you need extensive church background to
understand,� Haye commented. “It’s a simple message: Don’t leave Christ out of Christmas.� Victory Baptist Church is located at 531 E. Uwchlan Ave. (Route 113), Chester Springs. Sunday school is held at 9:30 a.m., followed by the morning worship service at 10:45 a.m. The church also offers a Sunday evening service at 6 p.m. However, the Christmas play will not be repeated at the 6 p.m. service on Dec. 16. For more information, readers may call 610-594-8939, email evangelisthaye@gmail.com or visit www.vbc-pa.org.

The American Heart Association (AHA) offers several tips to keep everyone focused on how they can eat smart, move more, and be well this holiday season. The daily tips will make the holiday season Healthy for Good. 1. Balance is the key. People can enjoy some of the splurges of the season without overdoing it. For example, if someone is going to miss their workout for a holiday event, they can walk during lunch or ride their bike to work. If dinner is going to be a feast, they can opt for a light lunch. Individuals can save their appetite for the big meal by skipping the appetizers or serving lighter snacks like cut-up fruits and veggies. 2. Eat smart at special holiday events. Holiday events often serve up extra helpings of lessthan-healthy foods. As guests, individuals can eat a healthy meal or snack before they go to avoid overdoing it at the event. Hosts can challenge themselves See Tips For The Holidays pg 10

If it is just not Christmas without eggnog, try a low-fat version or mix it with an equal amount of low-fat or nonfat milk. People can still get the flavor without as many calories. 18. Many holiday dishes can be packed with sodium. Breads, poultry, and canned soups are three common foods that can be loaded with salt. W hen shopping for ingredients to prepare their holiday meal, compare the labels and choose options with the lowest amount of sodium. Herbs and spices (like rosemary and cloves) can be used to flavor dishes instead of salt. 19. Spices can be used to flavor foods and beverages with less sugar. For example, a skinny hot apple cider can be made with unsweetened apple juice and plenty of cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and nutmeg. Garnish with whole cinnamon sticks. 2 0 . Focus on being present instead of buying presents. When holiday stress starts to get to people, the two simple practices of mindfulness and gratitude can help.

People are encouraged to be their own barista and opt for lesssweet homemade versions of sugary coffee beverages, hot chocolate, and other holiday beverages. Marshmallows and whipped cream can be swapped out with steamed or frothed low-fat milk. 8 . Keep up healthy habits. People can commit to staying healthy during the holidays. For example: “For the next three weeks, I will move more and do something active every day, have a healthy breakfast and limit the sweets, and get at least seven hours of sleep each night.” If someone does not completely give up their healthy habits, they will not feel like they have to start all over once the holidays are in the rear-view mirror. 9. For holiday eating events, whether potluck or not, people can offer to contribute a lighter, healthier dish. That way, there will be at least one better-foryou option. 10. If alcohol is being served at a holiday event, individuals should alternate each glass with a glass of water. This will quench their thirst and fill them up so they will be less likely to overindulge. Nonalcoholic versions of beverages can be enjoyed to lower the calorie
to offer some delicious and healthier options using healthier recipes and cooking tips. 3 . Keep the family active. When children are out of school, parents are encouraged to squeeze in some active chores and trips to the park. The video game marathon can be broken up with a physical activity break. Everyone can take advantage of cooler weather to get moving outdoors. 4. Sip smarter. Sugary beverages, including sodas, energy and sports beverages, sweet tea, lemonade, and coffee beverages, can be replaced with water or unsweetened tea and coffee to avoid excess calories. To make the switch easier, people can cut back the amount of sweetener gradually until their taste adjusts. 5 . Give oneself the gift of peace. When the invitations pile up, individuals should not be afraid to say no to some of them. If some down time is needed to recharge for the next party, take a break. Do something relaxing, like doing yoga or meditation, reading, taking a warm bath, or spending time in nature. 6. Keep portions in check. People can enjoy favorites without overeating. People are encouraged to put less on their plate and pass on that second helping. Another strategy is to split appetizers, entrees, and desserts with
count. It is important to watch out for added sugars. 1 1 . People should aim for seven to nine hours of sleep each night. Individuals should not let their wake-up time and bedtime get too far off their regular schedule. People should nap when needed and ditch the digital devices at night. 12. Treat oneself. People can try bite-size tastes or split portions of desserts and other holiday treats or choose fresh fruit for dessert. Seasonal fruits make great gifts, too. 13. Remember, the healthiest thing a person can drink is water People are encouraged to make it their go-to choice when they are feeling thirsty. Extra appeal can be created by adding fresh or frozen fruits, herbs, or a splash of 100 percent fruit juice. 14. Seasonal fruits and vegetables can give meals, snacks, and party dishes that healthy holiday spirit. Apples, dates, leafy greens, pears, pumpkin, root vegetables, sweet potatoes, and winter squash are healthy options. 1 5 . People can make beverages sparkle by trying seltzer, club soda, or sparkling water for the fizz. For a festive holiday look, beverages can be garnished with whole cranberries and mint leaves. 1 6 . People should find the time to fit in fitness. People are encouraged to try to stay committed to their workouts when the holidays kick into high gear. But when a full social calendar

Tips Shared For Healthier Holidays when they have control over the menu. To be at one’s peak this holiday season, American Heart Association-approved recipe hacks are offered. Additional recipes are available at www.heart.org/eatsmartmonth. About 70 percent of the sodium Americans consume comes from processed, prepackaged, or restaurant foods. Reading labels is a simple way to net healthy results. Compare the nutrition facts on similar foods and go for
the one with less sodium, including frozen varieties. Salt can be replaced with herbs and spices. Lemon juice, citrus zest, or hot chilies can add extra flavor without the added sodium. Canned fruits packed in juice or water rather than syrup are recommended. Fruit is plenty sweet without added sugars. R026018

Diabetic Eye Disease Facts Posted Arbor Day According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 100 million adults in the United States are now living with diabetes or prediabetes, a condition that if not treated often leads to Type 2 diabetes within five years. One of the many damaging effects that diabetes can have is on vision. Diabetes is the leading cause of new cases of blindness in adults. November was declared by Prevent Blindness as Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month to educate the public on the effects of diabetes on vision, risk factors, and treatment options. Prevent Blindness offers a variety of free resources dedicated to the education of diabetic eye disease at www.preventblindness.org. Diabetes is a chronic condition that occurs when blood sugar levels are constantly high and can cause se-
rious health complications, including heart disease, kidney failure, nerve damage, and blindness. The National Eye Institute states that people with diabetes are 25 times more likely to become blind than those without diabetes. Additionally, African-Americans have a 40 percent higher frequency of severe visual impairment caused by diabetic retinopathy as compared with whites, as well as twice the rate of blindness. Diabetic eye disease refers to a group of eye problems that people with diabetes may face as a complication of this disease including diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema (DME), cataract, and glaucoma. A leading cause of blindness in American adults, diabetic retinopathy is caused by damage to the small blood vessels of the retina - the seeing layer of the eye. Diabetic
macular edema (DME) is a complication of diabetes caused by leaking blood vessels, which leads to fluid accumulation in the macula, the center of the retina used for central vision, and can cause central vision to become blurry. Cataract is the clouding of the lens in the eye, which blocks or changes the passage of light into the eye and can cause vision to become blurry. Glaucoma is characterized by optic nerve damage and possible loss of side vision, usually caused by increase in fluid pressure inside the eye. For more information on diabetic eye disease, readers may call Prevent Blindness at 800-331-2020 or visit www.preventblindness.org/diabetes. For a free listing of organizations and services that provide financial assistance for vision care, readers may visit www.preventblindness.org/.

The foundation’s Trees in Celebration program allows the giver to honor loved ones while supporting conservation efforts. For each dollar donated, one tree is planted in a high-need forest, and recipients are given a certificate showing them where the trees were planted. In addition, with foundation membership, recipients will be sent 10 free trees, which will be shipped at the right time of year for planting. Membership levels vary and begin with a set minimum contribution. For more information, readers may visit www.arborday.org.
