Senior League Invites Men To “Play Ball!”

By Francine Fulton

Men age 60 and over who enjoy playing softball and are not quite ready to give up the game are invited to join the Brandywine Valley Senior Softball Association (BVSSA), which is currently enrolling players for the 2019 spring and summer season.

BVSSA is registered with the Amateur Softball Association (ASA), and eligible players may turn age 60 anytime during 2019. The men’s slow-pitch softball teams follow the rules of senior softball, which means that bunting and stealing bases are not permitted.

Other safety measures have also been put into place, according to BVSSA commissioner John Lundell. “We have a double first base.

There is an inside bag and an outside bag. The runner goes to the outside bag so that he does not collide with the first baseman,” explained Lundell. “We also have a double home plate.

When you run down the third-base line, the

second home plate is off to the right, so there is no interference with the catcher.”

Lundell noted that players in the league come from the tri-state area, which includes Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. “Players come from Delaware County; Berks County, including Reading; and from Chester County, including the West Chester area, Downingtown, Coatesville and Honey Brook,” he said.

Players range in age from 60 to their 90s.

“There are guys this year who will turn 89 and are still playing,” Lundell noted. “Our oldest player was 96.”

New players must attend one of the two skill analysis sessions, which will be held on Thursday and Friday, March 28 and 29, from noon to 2 p.m. at United Sports Complex, See Senior League pg 8

the organization’s spring banquet will be about members of the community who have interacted with The Factory. “We will hear from participants and teens who have been directly impacted by The Factory and the programs and our partnership See The Factory pg 20

Members of the Paradise community gathered at the 2018 spring banquet for The Factory Ministries.

This year’s event, which will feature a family-style dinner, will be held on April 16 at the Paradise Elementary School.

provide the gift of mobility to people in need. Teams made up of volunteer therapists and wheelchair mechanics will then fit each wheelchair to meet an individual’s unique needs and provide training in the wheelchair’s maintenance.

Wildlife displays, door prizes, a light lunch, a guest appearance by a world champion wild game caller and more will be featured during the 14th annual Sportsman’s Event to be held at Wagontown Chapel on Saturday, March 16, beginning at 11:30 a.m.

This year’s program will follow the same format as last year’s event, according to pastor Tim Crans. While most event components will take place at the church, in order to more comfortably accommodate guests, a light lunch of hot dogs, chicken wings, chips and beverages, as

Your Hometown Butcher

well as cookies and brownies made by church members, will be served at the Wagontown Volunteer Fire Company, 412 W. Kings Highway, Wagontown, located across the street from the church. Ample parking will be available at both locations.

The first half of ticketholders as indicated by a green dot on their tickets, will start at the fire company and eat lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. The rest of the ticketholders, who will have an orange dot on their tickets, will start at the church at 11:30 a.m. to view the displays and booths by hunting-related vendors. At 12:15 p.m., those eating lunch will come to the church and those who are at the church will go to eat at the fire house until 1 p.m.

Both groups will gather in the church sanctuary at 1:15 p.m. for the program by Brodie Swisher, winner of the Great American Game Calling Challenge World Championship. Swisher, editor of www.bowhunting.com, holds hunting and game calling seminars throughout the United States that feature hunting adventure videos. Swisher is also an outdoor writer with articles appearing in magazine and internet columns. His presentation will end with a Gospel message.

“He will talk about hunting and do his calls, and he gets the kids involved,” said Crans. “He

will end with a message about his relationship with Jesus. That’s our whole purpose - to share the Word of God.” Following the presentation, door prizes will be given out.

Prizes will include crossbows, bows, decoys, calls, game cameras, bow and gun cases and other hunting items. Each ticketholder will be entered into the random drawing. “ We have $15,000 worth of door prizes,” Crans noted, adding that youths age 12 and under will have separate door prizes.

A separate drawing for a muzzleloader will also be held this year, open only to those who donate three nonperishable food items for the City Gate Mission in Coatesville.

Also this year, youths age 12 and under who have hunted their first deer, turkey or bear in the 2017-18 season will be recognized. Since it will be a surprise, parents are asked to provide their child’s name and related information in advance. “We will call (the youths) up, show their pictures and recognize them,” Crans said, noting that the youths will each receive a certificate.

The event will also include the bestowing of the Charles Alsheimer Award, which is given to a local person who promotes hunting and sportsmanship.

Alsheimer, who was once a guest speaker at the Wagontown

Chapel Sportsman’s Event, passed away in 2017.

Crans, who is an avid hunter himself, said people in the area look forward to the Sportsman’s Event each year. “It sells out every year, and tickets go quickly,” he said, emphasizing that tickets are available on a firstcome, first-served basis.

At times, Crans added, people decide to join the church or connect with him later because of their positive experience during the program. “Sometimes the impact (of the event) goes beyond that day,” Crans explained.

There will be separate prices for adults and children age 12 and under. For tickets or more information, individuals may call the church office at 610-3842838, email Crans at tcfamily ministry@aol.com or stop by the church at 469 W. Kings Highway, Wagontown.

The Modern Kitchen: More Than Just A Food Space Kitchen Remodel Must-Haves Kitchens are among the most-used rooms in many homes. Even though the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics states the average person spends just 68 minutes each weekday consuming food and about 37 minutes preparing meals, the kitchen is not just a spot focused on food. It also is a gathering place for conversation, homework, and family time.

In fact, some of the more popular trends concerning kitchen layouts showcase homeowners’ desire to maximize the comfort and efficiency of these rooms.

Communal Zones Today’s home floor plans make kitchens a focal point of a home, and food preparation is no longer a solitary task. Thanks to larger kitchen footprints and multiple zones set up for meal creation, a greater number of people can hang out in the kitchen and help with meals. Multiple sinks, large islands, and more counter space are key components of modern kitchen layouts.

Dining Nooks Kitchen designs are bringing back banquette seating in a cozy nook. This design is a practical use of space and can fit in large and small kitchens alike. It also can give a kitchen a high-end look, as built-in banquettes can highlight a bay window or

seem custom-made for the space. Banquette seating can fit a number of people comfortably and provide a sensible and casual dining spot.

Family Tables Experts at Southern Living magazine indicate that formal dining and living rooms are now used infrequently. As a result, kitchens have evolved to accommodate meal prep and dining. A large family table in the center of the room brings people into the kitchen to get more involved with food, according to San Francisco designer David Kensington.

Counter Culture Taking a page from the style of a favorite corner diner or other eatery,

kitchens are increasingly outfitted with a large island flanked by chic counter stools, according to the design professionals at Domino. Family members can pull up a stool and grab a quick snack. The island is also an ideal place for friends to engage in conversation while a host or hostess prepares appetizers for an evening soirée.

Work Areas Many families like to have an area of the kitchen set up as a tech zone where children can do their homework. Setting aside an area of counter space as a small desk area can be a great idea. Such areas also make it easier for parents to keep a watchful eye on children while they are surfing the internet.

Kitchen remodels are among the most popular home renovation projects, whether they consist of swapping out cabinet hardware or doing major demolition. When investing in a kitchen project, homeowners should consider incorporating the following items: • Deep, double sinks: Having a double sink enables people to soak dishes in one side and then wash on the other. It also makes it easier to wash and prep produce for meals.

• Kitchen island and bar stools: Even though many meals are enjoyed around the table, there is something to be said for the convenience of a kitchen island and some well-placed bar stools for quick breakfasts or snacks.

• Smart kitchen storage: Work with a contractor to have storage solutions built into cabinetry and the pantry. Slide-out shelving, nooks for paper towel rolls, and custom-designed areas to store stand mixers and other necessities can make kitchens more functional.

• Outdoor access: If possible, design a kitchen so it is easy to access the backyard via sliding doors. This can make

outdoor entertaining or even coffee on the deck much easier.

• Under-cabinet lighting: Fixtures installed under cabinets provide both ambient lighting and task lighting. This type of lighting makes it easier for people to see what they are working on, as even well-placed overhead lighting can fail to illuminate dark corners and spots on the counters.

• Convenient warming drawer: This

appliance, which provides backup to the oven, is a slide-out drawer that can keep prepared foods out of the way and warm until they are served. It is particularly handy for holidays and other times when homeowners entertain.

• Beverage station: Designate one area of the kitchen for beverages, such as coffee and tea. This can limit traffic in the kitchen to a single area when homeowners host gatherings.

beneficial advantage for busy parents and/or professionals who find it difficult to juggle all of their daily responsibilities.

• Money: Another benefit to smart homes is their cost savings. Because devices can be controlled remotely, smart home owners can adjust the temperatures on their heating and cooling units while away from home. That means they can arrive home each night to a comfortable home without having to run their HVAC systems all day while no one is home. In fact, the CNET and Coldwell Banker survey found 45 percent of Americans say that smart home products save them an average of about $98 each month.

• Investment: Whether people are devel-

opers or single-family homeowners, real estate is an investment. Making a home as appealing to prospective buyers as possible is a great way to get a better return on a real estate investment. The CNET and Coldwell Banker survey found that 81 percent of buyers would be more likely to buy a home if smart home products were already installed. That can make the market for a home more competitive, ultimately earning the owner more money at resale.

Smart homes are both the present and the future. Homeowners who want to make their homes more livable today and more marketable tomorrow should consider investing in smart home products.

Why It Can Be Smart To Have A Smart Home Technology has changed the way people live in the 21st century. Once ubiquitous, landlines anchored to kitchen walls have now given way to smartphones that can be taken anywhere. Bulky television sets that required at least two people to move have been replaced with highdefinition offerings so light and thin they

can be mounted on living room walls.

Devices are everywhere. A recent visual networking index forecast from Cisco predicts that by 2021, there will be four networked devices and connections per person across the globe. Those figures are even greater in North America, where Cisco estimates each person will

have 13 networked devices and connections by 2021.

With all those devices, it is no surprise that a greater number of people are embracing the smart home movement.

Those who are considering converting their homes can benefit from learning more about smart homes and their advantages.

What is a smart home?

According to SmartHomeUSA.com, the term “smart home” is commonly used to define residences in which appliances, lighting, heating and cooling units, televisions, computers, entertainment systems, and security systems are capable of communicating with one another. Each of these components can be controlled remotely, typically via a smartphone.

Why is it smart to have a smart home?

• Time: A recent joint survey from CNET and Coldwell Banker found that 57 percent of Americans say that smart home technology saves them an average of 30 minutes per day. That can be an especially

Six Ways To Increase Bathroom Safety Homes should be safe havens, but bathrooms are known to present a series of challenges. In the bathroom, slippery tile, the presence of water, stockpiled medications, and many sharp and hard edges in a small space can pose several different hazards, particularly for young children and people age 65 and up. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that falls, which can result in serious injuries like hip fractures and head trauma, are the cause of 80 percent of all bathroom accidents.

Despite this, many bathroom accidents are preventable with some easy modifications to the area.

1. Reduce slippery surfaces. Wet tile is often a hazard. Bath rugs with rubber backing can provide traction in the bathroom, as can nonslip mats placed on the floor of the bathtub or shower enclosure.

Water-resistant flooring made from recycled rubber is another option. It is softer,

less slippery, and more forgiving than traditional tile flooring.

2. Install lever-style fixtures. Round knobs in the bathroom can be difficult to grasp, especially for the elderly or those with arthritis. Lever-style fixtures are easier to maneuver and can help prevent scalding if people are not able to adequately adjust the water temperature.

3. Add transfer benches and shower seats.

A transfer bench can help reduce injuries that occur when people try to climb over a tub wall. When a bench is placed outside of the tub, a person can sit on it and then swing his or her legs over the ledge into the tub. Transfer benches also can be used in conjunction with shower seats. A shower seat is a chair or bench that allows people to sit while they shower.

4 . D i s c a r d o l d m e d i c a t i o n s . Clean out the medicine cabinet and remove old or expired medications, including both prescription and over-the-counter

drugs. This reduces the likelihood of medication confusion and the likelihood of potentially harmful pills and syrups falling into the hands of children. Medications should be disposed of safely via local medication take-back programs, as opposed to being thrown in the trash or flushed down the toilet.

5. Install grab bars. Properly installed grab bars around the shower and toilet area can provide leverage and stability. According to AARP, many injuries to seniors occur when they are attempting to sit on or get up from the toilet.

Grab bars or an elevated toilet seat can help.

6. Install motion-detecting lights.

These lights turn on automatically upon detecting movement, making them beneficial for people who routinely visit the bathroom in the middle of the night. Adequate illumination also can help reduce the risk of falling.

Luxury To The Max: Freestanding Tubs One home design element that tends to have an instant wow factor is a freestanding tub.

Freestanding tubs have an air of luxury that can help current homeowners relax and impress buyers when homes go on the market.

Freestanding tubs are typi-

cally made of cast iron or porcelain. The home improvement website HomeAdvisor notes that cast iron is durable and solid and retains heat well, which is ideal for those who want to spend more than a little time relaxing in a freestanding tub. However, because cast iron is so heavy, installing a castiron tub may require structural reinforcement of the flooring, which will add to the overall cost of the project.

According to HomeAdvisor, the average cost to install a tub varies widely depending on the type of tub, the materials it is made of, and other factors, including plumbing and piping.

For example, the cost to install a freestanding tub will rise considerably if new plumbing and piping are necessary.

Before purchasing a freestanding tub, homeowners should seek estimates regarding installation, making sure to get them in writing. Contractors will determine if structural reinforcement is necessary and include such costs in their estimates. In addition, homeowners should make sure

to ask contractors to investigate piping and plumbing so no surprises pop up after the tub has been purchased and work has begun.

If estimates from contractors indicate that such an installation project is a possibility, homeowners can consider these benefits of freestanding tubs before making their final decisions.

• Cleaning: Because they are detached from other bathroom fixtures and not flush against the wall, freestanding tubs tend to be easier to clean than built-in bathtubs. Many freestanding tubs are accessible from all sides, making it easier to reach all those nooks and crannies where grime can build up.

• Return on investment: In its 2018 “Cost vs. Value” report, Remodeling magazine noted that upscale bathroom remodels recouped 56.2 percent of their cost at resale. That was a better return on investment than an upscale kitchen remodel (53.5 percent) and an upscale master suite addition (48.3 percent). The thought of a sizable return on investment

can make relaxing in a freestanding tub that much more enjoyable.

• Warmth: Even freestanding tubs made of materials other than cast iron offer notable heat retention. Stone resin

bathtubs, for example, provide excellent insulation on cold nights. That is ideal for people who want to unwind in the tub without having to exit early because the water has become cold.

released. Hollow columns in the mattress allow for increased air flow that improves this pressure release and enables people to sleep coolly and comfortably.

Sometimes gel is paired with memory foam for a hybrid mattress.

Latex Latex mattresses are known for

their durability and comfort. Latex conforms to the body more generally than memory foam, so it bounces back quickly. One of the biggest draws to latex mattresses is that they are made from natural rubber. Cost can be prohibitive, however, as they tend to be expensive.

Drift Off To Dreamland With The Perfect Mattress People make many renovations around their homes to improve their quality of life. Bedrooms are no exception, and making some changes there can greatly affect quality of sleep and improve the health and well-being of residents.

The temperature of a bedroom, its configuration, and its lighting can impact a person’s ability to get a good night’s sleep; however, the item that may bear the most influence is the mattress.

The Better Sleep Council notes that whether one wakes up feeling rested and healthy depends largely on the age of a mattress and its condition. A good mattress should alleviate pressure on joints while providing bodily support. It should not be a contributor to aches and pains.

Mattresses that are seven years old or

older may need to be replaced.

People considering purchasing a new mattress have many options from which to choose, and the task of selecting a mattress may seem overwhelming. But even though there are many options, it is key for people to discover which material is right for them.

Innerspring Innerspring (also called coil) mattresses have been around for some time. The metal springs provide internal support. The number of coils, types of coils, and distribution pattern throughout the mattress impact how well the bed will conform to the body.

These mattresses may be best for back or stomach sleepers due to their level of support. People should keep in mind that innerspring mattresses may have limited durability and may start to sag after a few years.

Memory Foam Memory foam mattresses are

relatively recent additions to the market. According to the mattress shopping resource The Sleep Judge, memory foam mattresses may eventually replace innerspring mattresses. Famous for its ability to contour to the shape of the user’s body, memory foam envelops a person and absorbs energy. This means

that there is less motion transfer, which can be a big plus when a partner moves around. Memory foam provides a high level of pressure point relief and promotes proper spine alignment.

Gel Foam Gel foam mattresses bounce back to their original form when pressure is

Getting Ready For Warmer Weather: Early Spring Landscaping Tips As winter tapers off, people may be antsy to spend more time outdoors in the increasingly warm weather. For those with green thumbs, outdoor plans may involve tending to the garden and preparing other components of their landscapes.

Homeowners may draw inspiration from budding crocuses

and daffodils pushing through the last remnants of snow and employ the following tips to prepare for the upcoming gardening season: • One of the first steps is to apply a pre-emergent weed killer to get a head start knocking out weeds that can plague the lawn during the growing season.

Killing weeds at the roots early on can mean far fewer hassles in spring and summer, and it may prevent new generations of weeds from cropping up each year.

• While it may be tempting to take a prematurely warm day as a sign that spring is in full force and purchase a bunch of annuals, it is better to know the last of the possible frost dates; otherwise, homeowners may waste time and money planting flowers or vegetables only to have them zapped by another frosty day. To check frost dates, homeowners should refer to The Farmer’s Almanac.

• Amend the soil so that it is the right consistency - just crumbling when lifted. Soil that is too muddy after the spring thaw can harden, making it difficult for plants to flourish later on. Gardeners should speak with representatives at a local lawn and gar-

den center about which types of amendments can be added to the soil to enrich it. · Fill in bare patches of lawn soon by mixing a few shovelfuls of soil with grass seed. Then apply this patch to a bare area, water it, and continue to care for the area until the spot fills in.

• Spend a day in the garage or shed tending to the lawn mower and other gardening equipment.

Clean all tools and ensure that everything works, repairing parts as needed.

• Give outdoor entertaining spaces a good scrubbing, clearing away dirt and grime that may have accumulated over the winter. Use a broom and a leaf blower to remove any leftover leaves.

• Check if the front porch, railings, or decking need painting and/or staining. Tackle these projects when the weather is cooler so everything will be ready

for those peak spring days. If hiring a professional, it is good to get on their schedule now to ensure the project is finished by the onset of nice weather.

• Think about what annuals to plant in the landscape this year that will complement any existing shrubbery or perennials.

Come up with a theme so that the entire yard is cohesive.

Before homeowners know it, winter is gone and it is time to once again enjoy long days spent outdoors. Getting a jump start on spring lawn prep can ensure that homeowners can take full advantage of nice spring days.

TLC For Your Trees: Protect Properties With Tree Services Cold weather can take its toll on a property, especially when winters are harsh. Most parts of the landscape are vulnerable to damage from winter storms, but trees may be especially susceptible. By the end of winter, trees may benefit from some professional TLC. Tree services provide a host of

offerings. While fall is a popular time to remove trees from a property, doing so in spring is not unheard of, especially if trees were affected by winter storms and now pose a threat to a home and the people who live inside it.

Homeowners considering tree services can explore the following ways that some professional

arbor attention can protect them and their homes.

• Tree services can help protect a home’s foundation. Old trees that stretch well into the sky can be captivating, but they also can pose a threat to a home’s foundation. Such trees may have especially large root zones that may extend beneath walkways and even a home. In the latter instance, foundations may crack as roots try to stake their claim to the ground beneath a home.

According to the home improvement resource HomeAdvisor, it often costs less to repair foundation issues than to fix major problems after they have taken their toll. A professional tree service can remove aging trees that might be beautiful and aweinspiring but still pose a threat to a home and the areas surrounding them.

• Tree services can improve visibility. Trees that have aged a bit since their last trimming might affect the view of a property from inside a home. Overgrown branches can compromise residents’ ability to see and experience the natural beauty just outside their windows. The average homeowner may be able to trim short trees on his or her own, but if views from the second floor of a home or higher have been compromised, it is much safer to call a professional tree service. Such services have the right tools and experienced personnel to safely trim high branches on tall trees.

Think about the purpose.

Hardscaping can look good but also serve key purposes. Pebbles or gravel can mitigate trouble areas that do not grow grass or plant life well. Retaining walls hold back soil in yards that have sharply inclined hills. Mulch can set perimeters around trees and shrubs, as well as planting beds.

Fencing, another form of hardscaping, is essential for establishing property boundaries and adding privacy.

Consult a professional. While many hardscaping additions can be handled by novices, large-scale projects, such as patios and decking, can change the grading of the yard. Professionals can map out how to handle drainage issues and meet building codes.

In addition, professional installation can ensure that hardscaping features last for years to come.

Curb appeal is beneficial in various ways. It can make a home more attractive to prospective buyers and give existing homeowners a place they want to come home to. In its study of the worth of outdoor remodeling projects, the National Association of Realtors found that standard lawn care and overall landscape upgrades were most appealing to buyers, as well as the most likely to add value to a home.

Although plants, grass, and other items can improve curb appeal, homeowners should not overlook hardscaping.

Hardscaping is an industry term that refers to the nonliving features of a landscape.

These features can include everything from decks to walkways to ornamental boulders.

CCFWG To Present Award The Chester County Fund for Women and Girls (CCFWG) will honor Cheryl Miles - a connector, convener and advocate for underserved communities in Chester County - with the Kitchen Table Award at the 14th annual Making a Difference Luncheon on Friday, May 3, at the Desmond Hotel and Conference Center in Malvern.

CCFWG established the Kitchen Table Award in 2011 to honor a Chester County woman who has made substantive contributions through service and/or philanthropy to improve the lives of women and girls through the use of her own time, talent or resources.

Miles, of Glen Mills, has spent 24 years caring for vulnerable and underserved women and girls in Chester County. She currently works as director of permanent housing services at Good Samaritan Services, overseeing a team devoted to reducing the number of local women and children who experience homelessness. In 2008, Miles founded Housing to Self Sufficiency to help connect homeless single women in Chester County to affordable, shared housing and avenues of support. The organization also became a bridge between landlords and businesses to help other nonprofits access affordable housing and resources.

In 2016, Miles founded Black Women of Chester County in Action (BWCCA) as a direct response to CCFWG’s Blueprint Report; she gathered together friends and colleagues across

the county to discuss the report’s findings about African-American women in Chester County and brainstorm ways to engage a wider audience of AfricanAmerican leaders in the nonprofit, education, business, faith, law, government and health sectors.

Miles also serves as co-chair of the annual Chester County Single Mothers’ Conference, focused on engaging, educating and encouraging single mothers to reach their full potential. Additionally, she chaired the Chester County Housing and Food for All 365 Campaign to bring awareness to the greater community about issues of hunger and homelessness. Some of her other contributions include serving on the Executive Leadership Committee for Decade to Doorways, a program that convenes leaders from various sectors around ways to relieve families facing poverty in Chester County; serving on the Steering Committee of the Chester County ACEs Coalition that raises awareness and knowledge of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) to help build resiliency and foster hope; and convening the Chester County Faith Leaders Addressing Poverty group.

CCFWG received multiple nomination forms and more than 10 separate letters of support all outlining ways that Miles has united the community around important issues affecting women and girls to bring about change.

She is a constant presence at meetings, events and fundraisers throughout the county, in many cases having either

“Everyone is there to have a good time. If we’re not playing softball, most of the guys in the league get together to go golfing,” Lundell said. “Guys have barbecues and parties at the end of the season.”

He noted that for some players, softball is what keeps them going. “Some guys are widowed, and it is something they want to do,” he said. “It is something they look forward to. It is good for them.”

For more information or to register for the upcoming skills sessions, readers are asked to contact Lundell by Friday, March 15, at 484-766-3959 or dtpd6751@yahoo.com.

“Basically, we have a guy go out and we hit ground balls to him, and we see how he runs, catches and fields the ball. That will determine which division he competes in,” Lundell said. “The gold division is more competitive. They are really good players who do especially well for their age. The silver division is more relaxed. They are good ballplayers, but their skills have diminished. The managers determine which division (a player) would fit in.”

The gold division will play on Mondays and Wednesdays and the silver division will play on Tuesdays and Thursdays from mid-April through July at fields located in the West Chester area. Game time is at 10 a.m.

“We play nine innings,” Lundell noted. “Sometimes we play dou-

ble-headers. If a game gets rained out, you would play that team in two seven-inning games.”

Lundell say that many of the team members play softball yearround. “We are constantly playing. Our spring/summer league ends in July and then we have pickup games, and our fall league goes from September to November,” he said, noting that several players travel to play in warmer climates during the winter.

“Some are in Florida playing softball right now. They leave after the holidays and stay in Florida and return in April right before the season.”

The guiding principles of the BVSSA are player safety, fun, excellent competition through team parity within divisions and healthy and abiding respect for the game and its rules with continuous improvement of the

Historic Marker Program To Celebrate Milestone The centennial of suffrage for many women in the United States is approaching in 2020.

With this anniversary in mind, the National Collaborative for Women’s History Sites (NCWHS) and the William G. Pomeroy Foundation have partnered to launch a new historic marker program commemorating the history of women’s suffrage in the U.S. The Pomeroy Foundation, a private, grant-making foundation based in Syracuse, N.Y., is providing grants through its National Women’s Suffrage Marker Grant Program to recognize historically significant people, places, or things across the U.S. instrumental to women gaining the right to vote.

Historic markers awarded through the program will highlight sites on the National Votes for Women Trail (NVWT). The NVWT, a project of the NCWHS, identifies the sites that were integral to the suffrage movement and makes them accessible on a mobile-friendly website that can be searched by location, suffragist, ethnicity, and other criteria.

Readers who would like to suggest a location for a historic marker to commemorate women’s suffrage in their community may contact their NVWT state coordinator to begin the nomination process. Information can be found at https://ncwhs.org/ votes-forwomen-trail/state -coordinators/. Readers may also contact the NCWHS directly at https://ncwhs.org/about/

The Chester County commissioners have announced the acquisition of 80 acres of preserved land. The additional acres are attached to Nottingham County Park and will extend the size of the park by more than 10 percent. The new acquisition was conveyed at no cost to Chester County by The Nature Conservancy (TNC), which has owned the land for 20 years.

TNC purchased the 80-acre tract of land in 1998 for $275,000, using conservancy, state and county funding for the original purchase. In reviewing its property portfolio, TNC determined that transferring land to the County would allow for integrated and improved management across the conservation area and ensure excellent management.

The addition of the 80 acres brings Nottingham County Park’s total size to 731 acres. The park sits atop an outcropping of serpentine stone greater than one square mile in size; the area was once a site for mining. Serpentine, a geological outcrop of rare, light green rock found only in three small geographic areas in North America, has soil so low in essential nutrients and so high in some metals that most ordinary plants will not grow. The barrens have their own community of plants, some of them globally rare, with practically no species in common with the surrounding forests and fields.

Current uses and plans for the new space include public-use

Bar Association Receives Awards Chester County Bar Association is one of 22 local bar associations in Pennsylvania honored this year for sponsoring projects that improve the legal profession, justice system, or community.

The Chester County Bar Foundation conducts a $20,000 drawing where no more than 200 tickets are sold at a per-ticket fee. If

all tickets are sold, $10,000 is raised and one winner receives $10,000. The foundation uses the funds for grants awarded in the community each year.

In partnership with the Boys Scouts of America, the association established a Law Explorers Post. Six students participated in the first two sessions that were

conducted by a president judge and a senior judge. Sessions will continue in the spring to provide the students with a greater knowledge of and introduction to the legal profession as a possible career choice.

For more information, readers may contact 800-932-0311 or communications@pabar.org.

Almost 300 teams from 242 high schools across Pennsylvania will compete in district and regional levels of the Statewide Mock Trial Competition sponsored by the Pennsylvania Bar Association Young Lawyers Division. Pennsylvania’s mock trial program, now in its 36th year, is recognized as one of the largest in the nation.

During the competition, eightmember student teams are given the opportunity to argue both sides of the case in an actual courtroom before a judge. The students, who play the roles of lawyers, witnesses, plaintiffs, and defendants, are assisted by teacher coaches and lawyer advisers in preparing for competition.

Lawyers and community leaders serve as jurors for the mock trials.

The juries determine the winners in each trial based on the teams’ abilities to prepare their cases, present arguments, and follow court rules.

The district and regional levels of the competition took place in February and will continue throughout March. At the conclusion of the local competitions, 14 high school mock trial teams will advance to the Pennsylvania Bar Association Statewide Mock Trial

Championships, scheduled on Friday, March 29, and Saturday, March 30, in Harrisburg. The winning team of the state championship will represent Pennsylvania in the national mock trial finals to be held from Thursday, May 16, through Saturday, May 18, in Athens, Ga. This year’s hypothetical case is a criminal jury trial in which the defendant, a local pain management doctor, is accused of prescribing opiate painkillers outside the realm of normal medical practice, resulting in the overdose death of his patient. The case was written by Jonathan A. Grode of Philadelphia, Paul W. Kaufman of Philadelphia, Jonathan D. Koltash of Harrisburg, and Talia Charme-Zane, an alumna of the Pennsylvania mock trial program and former captain of the Central High School team in Philadelphia.

MHALC Plans Annual Pasta Fundraiser One of the reasons Mental Health America of Lancaster County (MHALC) marketing coordinator Charlotte Leckow works so hard gathering items for the live and silent auctions held during the organization’s annual pasta buffet is that the fundraiser helps support the work of Gretchen Gaudioso, client and family advocate with MHALC, in area schools.

“Gretchen goes into classrooms to talk about mental health issues,” said Leckow. “She talks about what depression is and encourages (students) to be open about these topics and to support each other and to advocate for themselves.” The goal, according to Leckow, is to remove the stigma associated with mental health issues and help the students feel more comfortable discussing them.

On Friday, March 8, MHALC will hold the fundraiser, now in its third decade, at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, 64 Hershey Ave., Lancaster. Dinner will begin at 5:30 p.m., and the live and silent auctions will begin at 6:45 p.m. Silent auction winners will be announced throughout the evening.

In addition to her duties with MHALC, Gaudioso does much of the cooking for the pasta buffet.

“We will have two kinds of pastas

and offer meat and regular sauce,” said Gaudioso, who added that salad, as well as meat, sausage, and plain lasagnas, will also be on the menu, along with bread donated by a local bakery.

According to Kristin Labezius, assistant program director and intensive case manager with Community Services Group of MHALC, volunteers of all ages will gather at the church on the evening of March 7 when the cooking begins.

Gaudioso noted that 10 large chafing dishes of lasagna are prepared to feed about 300 guests, and Leckow added that nearly 40 volunteers coming from all professions will join in the effort.

The evening’s silent auction will include at least 100 items, including sports memorabilia, pottery, admissions to Rock Ford Plantation, tours and tastings, tickets to a summer concert series held in a vineyard, donations by local artists and craftspeople, and gift certificates for area eateries.

“We have cleaning services, dental whitening treatments, (and) Hershey camping tickets, and we have participants who donate artwork as well,” said Leckow.

Up to 40 donations will be included in the live auction. Weekend getaways; a hot air balloon ride; a limo ride anywhere in Lancaster County for a prom or wedding; lunches with local celebrities, such as a legislator; and jewelry will all be auctioned by Tim Keller.

Outdoor Expo from pg 1

By Ann Mead Ash

David and Karin Holder, hosts of “Raised Hunting,” which has been broadcast on the Discovery and Outdoor channels, will be the speakers at the Hunting With Purpose Outdoor Expo. “The Holders have a family that they have ‘raised’ hunting,” explained Brandon Fisher, lead pastor with Keystone Church, which is sponsoring the event. “Their faith in Jesus Christ has been an important cornerstone to their family and their view of the outdoors.”

The Holders will be one facet of the church’s first Outdoor Expo, scheduled to be held at the Keystone Church Worship Center, 20 Harristown Road, Paradise, on Friday, March 22. Doors to the expo will open at 6 p.m. The Holders are slated to speak at 7:30 p.m.

Refreshments, as well as barbecue, will be served, and a variety of door prizes associated with hunting and other outdoor activities will be given away.

The Holders, who hail from Winterset, Iowa, have two sons.

David and Karin state that they are Christian outdoorsmen who use hunting as a platform to teach their family ethics and values. Their goal is to spread their love for Jesus to their community through their love of the outdoors.

Up to 10 area vendors and manufacturers of outdoor equipment will be featured at the expo. They will include those selling archery equipment suitable for hunting, deer feed suppliers, taxidermists, fishing and waterfowl guides, and those selling other outdoor gear and supplies.

According to Fisher, the expo is the brainchild of church members Harold Bare and Wil Esbenshade. “(Bare and Esbenshade) have a desire to see the Gospel shared with everyone in our community,” explained Fisher, who added that the pair discussed areas where that they felt there was common ground between the church and the community. “The outdoors is

one of those places,” said Fisher. at the Keystone Church Worship “They personally have a love of the Center in Paradise on Friday, outdoors and a love of hunting and March 22. fishing, and that resonates with a lot of people they come into contact with in the community.”

Fisher and Lauren Smoker, communications coordinator for the church, emphasized the inclusivity of the event. “This is not (strictly) a men’s event,” said Fisher.

“This is for the whole family,” added Smoker. Smoker also noted that the Holders are passionate about living out their faith in the outdoors as a family.

There is a cost to attend the event, and registration is necessary. Overall attendance will be limited to 450 persons. Readers who wish to register may visit w w w. k e y s t o n e c h u r c h . o r g / sportsmen.

The Factory from pg 1 with Together Community Center,” explained Lab. “The theme is ‘Join the Narrative,’ (and) that’s the narrative of the community members who have benefited from different programs.”

Paradise-area residents are invited to attend the spring banquet, which will be held on Tuesday, April 16, at 6:30 p.m. in the Paradise Elementary School gymnasium, 20 N. Belmont Road, Paradise. The agenda for the evening will also include a familystyle meal prepared by members of the local Plain community. A staff member is slated to discuss the vision of the ministry at the event.

Kylie Stoltzfus, who handles marketing and promotions for The Factory, said that the program will include a video and that organizers hope to have students who frequent the youth center present a program.

The Factory has its roots in the early 1990s, when two area churches surveyed the community about area needs. In response, a former sewing factory in Paradise was converted into The Factory Youth Center.

In 2006, The Factory expanded to include social services for adults. As the organization continued to grow, the name was changed to The Factory Ministries. The Factory Ministries now offers a youth center, food pantry, and social services, and the organization has become a hub for connecting needs and resources in the Pequea Valley area.

Currently, the North Group is providing interim director leadership for The Factory Ministries, having placed Gerald Meck at the helm in early January. Meck brings 40 years of executive leadership experience in nonprofit organization to The Factory Ministries. He has a passion for the vital role that the organization plays in the lives of the local residents. The organization’s leaders noted that in the midst of this transition, The Factory remains committed to continued growth and service.

There is no cost to attend the banquet, but seating is limited and reservations are necessary.

Readers wishing to attend are advised to register by Friday, April 5, at www.thefactory ministries.com or by calling 717687-9594. A freewill offering will be received.
