Octorara’s Jed King Named Coach Of The Year BY FRANCINE FULTON
ed King, a history teacher and the head football coach at Octorara Junior-Senior High School, was there when football began at Octorara. “I was digging the holes and helping to pour the cement for the goal posts. I watched the bleachers get redone,” he said. “To see this program grow from what we were (to) what we’ve become is amazing.” Now, 15 years later, the Octorara Area Education Association has announced that King was named the Coach of the Year for Section 4 of the Lancaster-Lebanon (L-L) League. The winner of the annual award is selected by all of the head coaches in the L-L League. “The coach of the team that wins the section is usually the person most people vote for,” explained King. “I voted for Bob Miller from ELCO (Eastern Lebanon County) High School because his team won the section, so I was not expecting to get the vote. (I believe) they voted for me because Octorara had such a good year - such an improvement from last
J
year, where we only had two wins.” Despite a shortened 2020 season, which included many new health and safety protocols because of the COVID-19 pandemic, this was Octorara’s first winning season, finishing with a 6-2 record. “My best record prior to this was 5-6. We never had a winning season until this year. ELCO was the only team we lost to this year in our section, 22-19,” King reported. “This is the most successful team I have ever coached. If this was a normal year, we would have made the district playoffs, (but) they took less teams because of COVID.” Many of this year’s team members played in the Octorara youth football program when it first began. “When they came to football camp in summer (years ago), they were little. Now I (coach) them as young men,” King said. He credited much of this year’s success to the players of the Class of 2021, five of whom earned spots as Section 4 All-Stars. “I am proud of the young men they have grown into, and I can’t wait to see them walk across the stage at graduation,” King said.

Interns Play An Important Role At The POINT
BY FRANCINE FULTON
Each year, the Chester County Community Foundation (CCCF) presents the Sweet Charity fundraiser, a social event that features networking and a dessert competition among some of the area’s most noted pastry and dessert chefs. Since the 2021 event cannot take place in person due to COVID-19, the CCCF will instead present a series of virtual programs, titled “Food for Thought: Sweet Charity.” See Sweet Charity pg 3

“My favorite experience would be being able to talk one-on-one with students about their life and praying with them while walking alongside them,” stated Alex Lantz, a sophomore at West Chester University who is part of the internship program at The Parkesburg POINT youth center. “I (also) enjoy being in a Christian work environment and being able to serve others.” See Interns pg 8
Current interns at The Parkesburg POINT youth center include (from left) Travis Lankford, Trevor High, Alex Lantz, Nick Songster and Genevieve LeFevre.

year’s event will give photographers an opportunity to email their entries for the first time. In past years, only mailed-in prints were accepted for the contest. “We had to cancel (the contest) last year, but because we have seen how well virtual entries can work, we decided to give it a try,” said Shotty Sprenkle, contest organizer. Sprenkle said she believes that this year’s contest will attract even more photographers because the pandemic has caused many people to rely on virtual platforms. “A year has gone by and people have learned to adapt and educate themselves (on computer technology),” she said. “I anticipate more entries as a result of that.” It is not necessary to live in the Octoraro Watershed to participate in the contest, which is open to photographers of any age. Entries will be judged in three age categories: Adult, age 18 and above; Youth, ages 13 to 17; and Youth 2, age 12 and under. All photographs must be taken

Workshop from pg 2 of the topics, we brainstormed the possible presenters.” According to Hood, the virtual spring workshop is taking the place of the annual in-person event. “It was always a one-day event live from 8:30 to 12:30, and because of the pandemic we are holding this virtually,” she said. “(The speakers) will be presenting their programs live. There will be a live Q and A.” When people register, they will receive a Zoom link to access the programs. “Every workshop has a different Zoom link. People can register for one, several or all our programs,” Hood pointed out. “We are planning to record them and post them to YouTube. If someone can’t see the programs, they can access them later.” She noted that the presentations will be in a webinar format. “Some organizations offer their programs on the meeting side of Zoom, in which everyone who is attending gets their photo on the screen,” Hood said. “(We will use) the webinar side of Zoom so they can singularly see the presenters and the program without distractions.” To register for the free CCHPN

According to Beth Krallis, CCCF marketing and communications officer, Sweet Charity used to be held at the Whitford County Club in Exton. “It was always in the spring at the end of March on a Monday night,” she said, noting the 2020 event was canceled due to the pandemic. “People came and networked and we had dessert vendors doing a contest where people could taste all of the desserts and vote for their favorite. The contestants were local restaurants and bakeries.” As part of this year’s event, a program will be held at noon on Zoom every other Tuesday in March beginning on March 2. The discussions are free and open to the public, and registraion is required. On March 2, Wendy Gaynor, director of food security at the Chester County Food Bank, and Jodi Gauker, executive director of Lundale Farm, will speak on food security and address questions like, “Why are my neighbors going hungry?” On March 16, people will learn where their food comes from during a discussion about growing and sourcing local food. Panelists will include Terry Brett, CEO of Kimberton Whole Foods; Pete Flynn, owner of Pete’s Produce Farm; and Emily Kovach, editorin-chief of PA Eats. “On Zoom, we will stream a prerecorded talk in the beginning to highlight the issue we will be discussing,” Krallis explained. “Then, the panelists will be live.”

When King began at teaching at Octorara, he was a defensive coordinator for the Avon Grove High School football team. Soon after, he was asked to be the head coach of a new football program at Octorara. “I watched it grow from being a program that was new and struggling and battling through tough games and tough years with kids who did not have a football upbringing,” said King, a graduate of the Solanco School District. “Getting to see the successful growing of a program was really rewarding for me as a coach.”
For winning the honor, King received a commemorative clock, which includes a plaque with a Coach of the Year inscription. “It’s not an award just about me. This is really an award for the team, the staff and the community,” he said, also crediting his wife, Michelle, for her support through his 15 years of coaching. “Watching the football program at Octorara grow has been a pleasure. It’s been a journey. That what life is about; it’s the journey, not the destination.”

describe your family’s discussion about the Boston Massacre and what role it played in organizing the colonists against the British king and Parliament.” Judging was based on historical accuracy, adherence to the topic, organization of material, interest, originality, spelling, grammar, punctuation and neatness. Also, the essay had to be the student’s own work. This year’s judges were DAR members Irene Moyer and Launa Sprouls. The non-DAR judge was Keith Burkert, a graduate of Rutgers University with a degree in history. Chloe wrote from the point of view of a girl whose brother described the massacre as “the most horrible thing he had every watched.” She also said the event was a way “to rally the 13
colonies to fight for their freedom.” Lauren wrote about a girl named Elizabeth who lost her best friend, Christopher, during the massacre, writing that March 5 was “a terrifying day.” In her essay, Claire wrote from the vantage point of a young girl living at the time, stating, “Girls are not to talk about war or anything masculine.” Julianna set the stage of a family supper where family members discussed the sentiment at the time - “No taxation without representation.” State Sens. Carolyn Comitta and John Kean were on hand for the ceremony via Zoom as well. They read the citation that each student was presented at her school by her sponsoring teacher. For their achievements, each of the winners received a certificate, a medal and a monetary gift.

Although the ceremony was held virtually via Zoom, the awards presentation for the American History Essay Contest presented annually by the Chester County Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) featured all the customary activities. The event included meeting the winning students, the recognition of parents and teachers and the awarding of honorary citations from state representatives, followed by the reading of the essays. “The customary presentation and recognition are certainly not the same. But so, so much is positive,” stated Elberta Clinton, essay contest chair. “It’s so rewarding to be made aware of ... our chapter winners and to have such a large number of guests ‘Zoom-present’ to share in this virtual ceremony. These are amazing, talented students.” Essay contest winners include Chloe Colson, a fifth-grader at Mary C. Howse Elementary School, West Chester, and Lauren Ranieri, a sixthgrader at St. Agnes Catholic School, West Chester. Claire Bushnell, the seventh-grader winner, and Juliana Kirby, the eighth-grade winner, are both students at Peirce Middle School, West Chester. Clinton introduced the students, as well as their family members, teachers and school administrators who were in attendance via Zoom. She also read a biographical piece about each student. Clinton explained the premise of the essay contest: “March 5, 2020, marked the 250th anniversary of the Boston Massacre, considered to be a pivotal event that paved the way to the American Revolution. Imagine you are living in Boston and, after witnessing the events of March 5,

Interns from pg 1 The POINT launched its official internship program in the summer of 2020, offering local young men and women, some of whom are alumni of The POINT, an opportunity to gain work experience by helping during programming and interacting with the youths who visit the center. Last summer, the interns helped with The POINT’s weekly food distributions when the youth center was closed because of the pandemic. Interns also helped distribute Christmas gifts to The POINT families during the holiday season. Now that The POINT has opened its doors to welcome students once again, interns are able to meet with students in small groups, Intern Travis Lankford, a student at Delaware County Community College who is studying childhood education, learned about the internship program from Dwayne Walton, executive director, while Walton was preaching at Brandywine Grace Church, Downingtown. “I felt God calling me to take the job, and I’ve been here since September of 2020,” Lankford reported. Several of the interns shared that they are learning valuable lessons about how to identify with the youths, many of whom are coping with issues that have manifested during the pandemic. “I’ve learned how kids manage their hurt. It’s become easy to recognize the kids’ pain and how they’re expressing it,” said Lankford. “I’ve learned how to be patient with kids and allow them to get upset and still correct and control situations.” “I have learned to be selfless and to view certain situations through other people’s eyes,” added intern Trevor High, a senior at Lancaster Bible College who is majoring in health and physical education. Mainly, the interns said they enjoy interacting with the youths and staff members. “I enjoy just spending time with the kids and helping them grow,” said High. “I also enjoy growing closer to God with my co-workers.” “Seeing the kids every day is such as blessing,” Lankford added. “The co-workers I have in this community (are) a light in my daily life that means so much to me. God has blessed The POINT and myself for letting me be a part of it.” The Parkesburg POINT, 700 Main St., Parkesburg, serves youths ages 8 to 18 in the Octorara and Coatesville Area school districts. For more information about internship opportunities, readers may contact Amy Walton, program director and volunteer coordinator, at Amy@parkesburgpoint.com. The POINT is currently open on Mondays through Thursdays from 3 to 6:30 p.m. On Mondays and Wednesdays, the facility is open to students in grades seven to 12. Tuesdays and Thursdays are for students in grades three through six. For more information, readers may visit www.facebook.com/parkesburg.point or www.parkesburgpoint.com or call 610-857-3393.
