A New Place to Skate
BY LOGAN MOYER
Boarders in the Twin Valley area will soon have a new home for skateboarding.
The brand-new Elverson Skatepark is set for its official grand opening at 10 a.m. on Saturday, April 11, at Livingood Park, 106 S. Chestnut St., Elverson. The rain date will be on Saturday, April 18.
The event will feature a formal ceremony, competitions and giveaways.
The park has been open for riding since just before Christmas, although final touches have been put on in the last few months.
“We hope to see the community come out and see what the park’s all about,” said Justin Horrocks, who was heavily involved with the planning and fundraising for the new facility. “We’re hoping for good weather and just a good turnout of people to come and see the new addition.”
The park features a concrete pump track, quarter pipes, grinding rails and a pyramid. Horrocks said that the skatepark was designed to be family-friendly and comfortable for both beginner and intermediate-level boarders.
The park will follow Livingood Park’s existing hours of 7 a.m. to
9 p.m. daily. Skateboards, bikes, scooters and beyond are welcome.
“Pretty much anything on wheels right now is allowed,” Horrocks said. “I’ve even seen RC cars on it… we just hope that people are going to respect the park, what it’s there for and use it the right way.”
Horrocks said that the skatepark

Who doesn’t love a trilogy?
Humane Pennsylvania will hold the 49th annual Walk for the Animals at 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 2, at the Berks County Fairgrounds, 1216 Hilltop Road, Leesport.
Just like the previous two years, the “Star Wars” theme is back for this year’s walk. In 2024, a “May the Fourth Be With You” theme was used; “The Empire Bites Back” was the theme last year. This year is the “Return of the Walkers.” This follows
The American Legion, as well as Suburban Brewing Co., will supply the drinks. Beer and wine are included in the cost of a ticket and do not require any additional purchase.
Additionally, gift baskets will be bid on, and a 50-50 drawing will be held. There are usually around 50 gift baskets available. Tickets can be purchased and then placed into individual gift baskets to bid on them.
“It’s a chance to meet with the community and let them find out what we’re doing,” said

Chester County Hosts Mental Health Training Program
Members of various county departments and organizations completed a CIT-Y training program in March.
Chester County is one of six counties nationwide selected by the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Keystone to pilot the Crisis Intervention Team - Youth (CIT-Y) training program.
The CIT-Y programan extension of Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training - was created to address the growing number of youths with mental health needs in the juvenile justice system. The first training was held from March 4 to 6 and included more than 15 county depart -
ments, law enforcement agencies, and community organizations.
“The CIT program benefits law enforcement, first responders, and community providers across Chester County,” said the Board of Commissioners in a joint statement. “Teaching effective and compassionate methods for handling the crisis needs of a young person offers a critical opportunity to make a difference in their lives. We are honored to have been chosen by NAMI to

Karen Gorgonzola, one of the organizers of the fundraiser. “We want to keep the library fresh in everybody’s mind. The food and the baskets are a nice bonus.”
“The big draw really is the baskets,” added organizer Dawn Schaffer. “I’ve been to some fundraisers where they didn’t have many, and I’ve been to ones where they had a lot. There’s a big gulf.”
The library is hoping to raise at least $5,000 through the event. The proceeds will be used towards the institution’s operating costs. The library is still seeking sponsors for the event; prospective sponsors should email jspade @ccls.org.
The fundraiser has been
held annually since 2016. Honey Brook Community Library, part of the Chester County Library System, underwent a major renovation that was completed last year. The renovation added a brand-new community room, expanded the library’s catalog and added an additional children-centered library. The project began thanks to a $1.14 million grant from the Department of Community and Economic Development, garnered by state Sen. Muth. For more information about the Honey Brook Community Library, visit its aforementioned website or its eponymous Facebook page.

cost somewhere between $90,000 to $100,000 to construct. Most of that money came from a $70,209 state grant, obtained through the Commonwealth Financing Authority’s Greenways, Trails and Recreation program. Donations from the community and local businesses made up the difference.
“That second year (of planning), we applied for a state grant … which took us pretty much to the point of where we needed to be to begin building and get the job done,” he said.
Nearly everybody in the Horrocks family loves to skateboard. Justin’s brother, Jansen, even runs a skateboard company and is involved in a skateboarding ministry.
“I’ve been skateboarding for 20-plus years, and I’m born and raised in Elverson,” Justin said. “I’m really excited to just see my kids as they’re growing up and the community be able to enjoy the skatepark and just being outside.”
Previously, there was no facility for boarders in the northern part of Twin Valley School District. The closest skatepark for boarders in Elverson and Morgantown was Pineland Park, north of Birdsboro.
“(Birdsboro) is where we grew up going,” Horrocks said. “You’re talking a 25-minute, half-hour drive. When we couldn’t get to a park, most of us that were skating and doing things like that were in parking lots, and a lot of businesses don’t want you in their parking lot skating around.”
“For people that aren’t in traditional sports, they’re looking for something to do,” he went on. “I think this provides an opportu nity for people to go and be out of people’s hair and just kind of enjoy what they’re doing.”

Foundation Announces Scholarship
Chester County Community Foundation is accepting applications for the Natalie A.W. Leaf Scholarship Fund. Each scholarship is $2,500.
Natalie A.W. Leaf was a West Chester native and elementary school art teacher who was passionate about skilled craftsmanship and the power of education to transform lives. In the early 1960s, Leaf began restoring her home and discovered a shortage of skilled craftspeople. Upon her death in 1989, her
home and antiques were auctioned off to create a scholarship to encourage Chester County residents to preserve these arts.
To apply by Wednesday, April 15, visit www.grantinterface .com/Home/Logon? urlkey=chester. More details are available by emailing grants@ chescocf.org.

“People are super into it,” said Humane PA president and CEO Karel Minor, who noted that some people and pets dressed to match the theme in the past two years. “It brings in some new folks too who might not normally come for a dog walk but might go to a comic-con. It seems to have worked.”
Mulch • Soil • Stone
Held yearly during “Be Kind to Animals” week, the event is the longest continuously held walk-a-thon in the state and possibly beyond.
“It kind of started out as just the basic walk-a-thon thing, and about 20 years ago, it started growing,” Minor said. “It’s [now] more of a festival … you can enjoy yourself, have a good time and learn about animals and your community.”
The walk itself is a flat, roughly half-mile loop around the fairgrounds. Walkers are welcome to walk with their pets and can do the loop two or three times if they please. People can still attend the event without participating in the walk.
Humane PA recommends that walkers register in a “pack” if possible, signing up as a group of friends, family or co-workers to fundraise together.
“We discovered a bunch of years ago that big groups of friends were getting together and walking, raising money together as sort of a team effort,” Minor said. “So we created what we call packs … it’s kind of a way to make it more fun, particularly for groups that get together to do it.”
Humane PA is still searching for both sponsors and vendors for the event; visit the aforementioned link if interested.
“What we like about this event is that it’s not one person writing a giant check; it’s a lot of people coming together and bringing small donations together to make a really big impact for our organization,” Minor said.
Registration is not required to attend, but Humane PA asks that people pay the fee to register to raise funds. To register, visit www.humanepa .org/events/walk-for-the -animals/. Anybody who registers before Wednesday, April 15, is guaranteed a T-shirt included in the cost of registration.
In the past, Humane PA has raised over $100,000 in a year from the walk. This year, the nonprofit is shooting for at least $85,000.
Outside of the walk and vendors, Humane PA holds various dog contests at the event. One is a competition to see what dog looks the most like its owner. In the past, organizations that train bomb and drug dogs have held demonstrations at the event.
All proceeds from the walk will benefit Humane PA, which hosts thousands of animals in its shelters every year. Humane PA operates the Freedom Center for Animal Life-Saving, 1801 N. 11th St., Reading; the Humane PA Lancaster Campus, 2195 Lincoln Highway East; the Humane Veterinary Hospital, 1729 N. 11th St., Reading; the Giorgi Family Community Resource Center, 1350 Schuylkill Ave., Reading; and the Danielle Ruiz-Murphy Dog Park, 503 S. Center Road (Route 82), Birdsboro.
Those with questions about the walk may contact info@humanepa.org.

Land Preservation Funding Available
The Chester County Parks and Preservation Department’s Open Lands division is accepting applications for the Preservation Partnership Program (PPP). This program provides funding to municipalities and nonprofit land conservation organizations to preserve significant natural, recreational, agricultural, historic, and cultural land resources.
“Preserving open space is crucially important to the future of Chester County and is a tenet of the county’s strategic plan,” said Josh Maxwell, chair of the Chester County Board of Commissioners. “Initiatives like the Preservation Partnership Program allow us to partner with municipalities and conservation organizations to protect the landscapes and natural resources that make our communities special for those who live, work, and visit here.”
The application period for this year’s PPP grant cycle will run through Thursday, April 30. The application, instructions, and a list of previously funded projects are available online at www.chesco .org/DocumentCenter/ View/82582/R38-PPP
-Manual. Approximately $2 million is available for selected projects.
“Open space is essential in protecting clean water, supporting wildlife habitat, and providing places for outdoor recreation,” said Commissioner Marian Moskowitz, vice chair of the board. “The Preservation Partnership Program empowers local municipalities and conservation groups to advance projects that will benefit residents today and for generations to come.”
The PPP grant program was created to enhance public access to open space and to implement county and municipal land-use policies as stated in the county’s comprehensive plan. Preference will be given to projects that can leverage state, federal, or other external funding sources.

be one of the pilot counties to implement CIT-Y programs across the commonwealth focusing on teens and youth. We hope that what is learned here can inform the expansion of CIT-Y.”
Run by the Chester County Department of Mental Health/Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (MH/ IDD), CIT-Y teaches law enforcement officers, educators, first responders, and community providers about adolescent brain development and mental health symptoms in youths, along with strategies for engagement and connection to appropriate services and supports.
Department of Human Services director Pat Bokovitz said, “The staff in MH/IDD, especially MH/IDD children’s mental health clinical services coordinator Teyanna Brunson, have worked closely with NAMI Keystone Penn -
from pg 2
sylvania for a number of years and were thrilled to be chosen as a CIT-Y pilot program county. Chester County is committed to ensuring that people with mental health issues are treated safely and with respect.”
Representing Chester County at the recent training were the Department of Drug and Alcohol Services, the Juvenile Probation Office, and the Human Needs Network. Other agencies included NAMI Chester County PA, Chester County ACEs Coalition, Community Care Behavioral Health, Chester County’s Teen Talk Line, Child Guidance Resource Center, Pennsylvania State Police, Philadelphia Coordinated Health Care, The Arc of Chester County, the Crime Victims’ Center of Chester County, Trans-Parent Support Group, JusticeWorks YouthCare, and the Maternal and Child Health Consortium.

Strengthening partnerships and exploring additional funding avenues ensures that these important and beloved landscapes remain part of our county well into the future.”
The Preservation Partnership Program has helped preserve more than 20,000 acres in Chester County since it began in 1989.
