Church Holds Food Drive, Offers Summer SPARK Program
BY FRANCINE FULTON
Congregation members from Penningtonville Presbyterian Church recently conducted a food drive at Dutch-Way Farm Market in Gap, where they collected nonperishable food items for the Octorara Area Food Cupboard (OAFC).
As part of the effort, shoppers were provided with a list of needed items when they entered the store, and they were able to drop off their donations as they exited.
“We try to do this a couple of times a year. Dutch-Way allows one (food drive) per month, so you have to schedule it,” explained congregation member Pat Softchin, adding that the OAFC trailer was on hand to carry the donated items back to the food cupboard.
The church volunteers also
Lafayette To Return to Chester, Lancaster Counties
BY FRANCINE FULTON
The Marquis de Lafayette was a 19-year-old Frenchman who volunteered to join the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War in 1777. He was able to secure France’s assistance in the war effort, which has been credited in the success of the Continental Army’s defeat of the British at the Battle of Yorktown in 1781.
In 1824, President James Monroe invited Lafayette to return to America, a trip that became known as Lafayette’s “Farewell Tour.” Planning to stay just three months, Lafayette extended his visit to 13 months because of the number of people who wanted to honor the Revolutionary War hero. During 1824 and 1825, Lafayette traveled more than 6,000 miles to all 24 states in the country, including Pennsylvania.
A Tower of Flowers
BY FRANCINE FULTON
“I first saw one of these in Luzerne, Switzerland; they call them flower columns,” said Robin Coffroth, when describing the new flower tower that he created at Moores Memorial Library. “As soon as I saw one, I said we have to have one of these in Christiana.”
Robin, president of the library board of directors, and his wife, Kathy, created the 6-foot-tall flower
tower, which is covered mostly in inpatients along with petunias and other flower varieties.
They began the effort to replicate the flower column this past spring by contacting officials in Switzer land. “We were on a river boat cruise. We started in Amsterdam and went down the Rhine River to Switzerland. This (flower tower) is 6 feet high, and theirs there were 3 or 4 feet higher,” Robin explained, noting that flower columns are prominent
To commemorate the 200th anniversary of that visit, American Friends of Lafayette established a nationwide committee consisting of more than 500 individuals representing those 24 states that Lafayette visited. Events are being planned by communities to trace Lafayette’s footsteps on the exact dates and in the exact order he followed on his Farewell Tour of America.
Locally, a re-creation of his visit to Lancaster and Chester counties will take place on Sunday, July 27, through Tuesday, July 29. The event has been in the planning stages for the past four years. “Basically, I started by researching

along the city streets in Switzerland. “They have a whole department of people who do this. I picked a name in Luzerne city government and sent an email. (The email recipient) put me in touch with the head of urban greenery.”
Next, Robin had a frame constructed by local metal fabricator John Miller. “(The contact) in Switzerland sent me a picture of one without anything on it - just the frame. I took that picture to J. Miller Ag Equipment in Christiana,” he noted. “I asked if (John) could make me one, and he liked
the challenge. He made one that was perfect.”
After securing the frame in the existing flower bed near the library’s entrance, the couple began to fill it with potting soil in preparation for planting. “It’s a metal frame, wrapped with landscaping fabric. It is hollow inside, and we filled it with dirt,” Robin said, noting that the frame weighs 180 pounds.
When it took too much soil to fill the frame, they found a handy substitute. “We got good potting mix, and we found out we were using a lot, and we only
needed the dirt on the perimeter. So, my wife and I filled in some of that space with pool noodles. We happened to have a bunch of pool noodles, and they work because they don’t absorb water,” he said, adding. “We cut little holes in the fabric, and we got flats of inpatients, and each (plant) went into a little hole.”
Robin also devised a way to water the flower tower when rain does not provide water for it. “There is 4-inch perforated pipe that runs the whole way down to water it,” he noted. “The tower is watered from the top,
and it seeps out through the rest of it.”
Robin, who previously planted the library’s flower beds, is pleased with how the flower tower turned out. “It was an experiment, and we tried it, and it has worked pretty well so far,” he stated, noting that he and Kathy plan to replant the flower tower next spring.
“The patrons love it,” added library director Trish Vandenbosch.
Moores Memorial Library is located at 9 W. Slokom Ave., Christiana.

exactly what Lafayette did when he came to this area. We took that as the framework and wanted to create historically accurate events based on what happened in 1825,” explained Kathleen Hood, Lancaster Lafayette200 Bicentennial coordinator. “I have been working with a phenomenal planning committee. It’s exciting that it is all coming to fruition.” She added that she hopes the events will make Lancaster and Chester counties proud.

County Offers Farm Preservation Programs
The Chester County Agricultural Land Preservation Board is accepting applications for two programs funded by the Chester County commissioners: the Commonwealth/County Program and the Chester County Challenge Grant Program. To date, over 590 farms totaling more than 45,000 acres have been preserved in Chester County through these programs. Both programs offer funds to qualifying Chester County farm
owners who are interested in preserving their farms. The county will pay farm owners for their development rights in exchange for a permanent agricultural conservation easement on their land. The owner will still own the land and can sell it or pass it on to the next generation, as long as it remains in agriculture. Farms with 10 or more acres of tillable land are eligible for both programs if they are adjacent to other
