Flowers from funerals, weddings and other special events that may be discarded are now being recycled and reused by Petals Please, a newly formed nonprofit organization that presents the fresh flowers to residents of nursing homes, hospices, senior care communities and others. Petals Please was founded in July and already has made an impact in the local community. “ We’ve (distributed) about 1,200 bouquets to date,” said founder Beth Adams. “Flowers are a nice symbol of love, care and support. You get so much more than you give ... when you see the joy on a recipient’s face.” Adams explained that volunteers deconstruct large flower arrangements to create smaller individual bouquets

for distribution. The flowers are placed in pint-sized mason jars, small vases, mugs and teacups. 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 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.” See Petals Please pg 3

Quilting Group Seeks Volunteers, Fabric Donations

OneRunTogether Holds Fundraising Dinner pg 2

2 - COMMUNITYCOURIER - Octorara Edition - December 5, 2018

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 with rent, mortgage payments, utility bills and medical costs. “More than 300 grants have been given,” said Murphy, noting that some patients have received more than one grant. “People can apply once a year as long as they are going through treatment and meet financial qualifications.” He added that most grants cover costs associated with rent, mortgage and utilities. ORT holds various fundraising events throughout the year, such as its annual “Hard to the Core” 5K Mud Run at Weaver’s Orchard in Morgantown. “This past year we had our first annual Creamery Hustle 5K at the Penn State Berks Campus on Mother’s Day weekend,” Murphy said, noting that next year’s schedule is currently being finalized. A goal of the organization is to involve more churches that can follow up with the cancer patients and minister to them on an ongoing basis. “We would also love to give more grants (in) higher amounts,” he said, adding that donations are accepted year-round at the ORT website.

Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) are reminding high school students in grades nine to 12 to submit their entries for PennDOT’s Innovations Challenge. The deadline for submission is Monday, Dec. 31. This year’s challenge asks students to look at innovative methods, aside from laws and educational campaigns, that can be developed in the next five to 10 years to get drivers to slow down in work zones. The Innovations Challenge aims to not only help students explore real transportation challenges that P e n nDOT is facing, but also open their minds to the possibility of working for PennDOT after graduation. Regional winners will be selected and invited to compete in Harrisburg next year for the statewide championship. The statewide winning team will be awarded $1,500 from the Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Traffic Services Association (ATSSA) to be divided among team members.

Petals Please from pg 1 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. Christ Church in West Chester and the United Methodist Church 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.

LCH from pg 1 La Comunidad Hispana (LCH), a nonprofit health center with locations in Kennett Square, Oxford, and West Grove, received funding this year from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to expand its mental health services to include specific counseling targeted to individuals with substance abuse disorder. This funding stream, Expanding Access to Quality Substance Use Disorder and Mental Health Services (SUD-MH), has supported the addition of a new behavioral health consultant, Meredith Sullivan, to LCH’s existing mental health team of three. Sullivan has a master’s degree in counseling psychology and previously worked at Brandywine Counseling and Community Services in Wilmington, Del. She is a certified drug and alcohol counselor and divides her time between LCH’s sites to ensure that people living throughout southern Chester County have access to the counseling they need. In response to the growing opioid crisis in Chester County, as well as considerable abuse of other drugs, including alcohol, LCH plans to expand its capacity for substance abuse treatment further in the years to come. LCH representatives attended a planning meeting on the topic of “Facing the Opioid Crisis Together” at the Independence Blue Cross Foundation in Philadelphia, a funder tackling the addiction issue in the region. Representatives of local nonprofit Kacie’s Cause, which focuses on prevention education and social services for individuals with substance abuse disorder, joined LCH at the meeting. By including clinical providers such as LCH, along with local nonclinical partners working with individuals aiming to overcome substance abuse, the Independence Blue Cross Foundation hopes to contribute to ending the substance abuse epidemic in the Philadelphia region. LCH serves southern Chester County as a provider of integrated health and community services. A federally qualified health center, LCH provides care to everyone regardless of their ability to pay. Since 1973, LCH has provided culturally responsive services to all members of the community. For more information, readers may visit www.LaComunidadHispana.org.

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.

The Mission Quilters, who meet on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month from 1 to 3 p.m. at Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd in Coatesville, create quilts that are distributed to those in need by Lutheran World Relief. meetings of the group, which are held on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month from 1 to 3 p.m. “If you can tie a knot, you can do this,” said Jean Broderick, one of the group leaders. As part of the process, a needle and thread are used to pierce the three quilt layers, which include the top and the back with the batting in between. Similar to sewing on a button, the needle and thread go through each square of the material several times and the thread is eventually tied off. “ We could really use a lot more (help),” said Broderick, who noted that the group has been meeting for more than 10 years. The completed quilts, which measure 60 by 80 inches and are composed of 11-inch squares, are donated to Lutheran World Relief (LWR) as part of its Mission Quilt program. According to www.lwr.org/quilts, Mission Quilts are used by residents of impoverished countries for bedding, as simple tents or floor coverings or to carry infants. “ We send (the quilts) to a warehouse in Maryland, and Lutheran World Relief sends the quilts to wherever they are needed,” Broderick said. “Most of ours have gone to India. “We have a number on the box when we ship them, so we can track it that way,” she added. In 2017, the group donated 24 quilts to LWR, and so far for

2018, the members sent 33. “We have seven in progress right now,” Broderick said. At an upcoming meeting of the group, instruction will be provided to those who want to tie the quilts. “You tie them a couple of times to make sure they are tight so they do not come apart,” said Broderick. After the tying process, the borders of the quilts are completed on a sewing machine by Broderick and group member Loretta Donohue. The congregation donates to the group members, who purchase sewing materials at discount stores. The community is invited to donate as well. “We can use money for batting and backing, (as well as) fabric,” Broderick noted. She said that the group members enjoy sewing together. “We enjoy fellowship, but we know we are doing something that is needed for people who are less fortunate than us,” Broderick added. Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd is located at 107 S. 17th Ave., Coatesville. For more information about joining the group or donating fabric, readers may email rnjean@ptd.net. For more information about the church or directions, readers may call the church office at 610-384-2035 or visit www.luthgoodshep.org. The church also offers a prayer shawl ministry that meets from 1 to 3 p.m. on the first and third Tuesdays of the month.

“Eliza is a pretty powerful young woman, but we want to make her more so,” said Cordell Huyard, assistant director of the Cavod Theatre production of “My Fair Lady.” “That’s a reason we brought Meredith (Bulgrien) on board (as director of the show). I thought she would look at (the show) through a new lens.” “My Fair Lady,” the musical based on George Bernard Shaw’s classic play “Pygmalion,” will be staged at the Cavod Theatre, 665 W. Main St., New Holland, on Fridays, Dec. 7 and 14, at 7 p.m.; on Saturdays, Dec. 8 and 15, at 2 and 7 p.m.; and on Sundays, Dec. 9 and 16, at 4 p.m. “My Fair Lady” tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, played by Hannah Stone. Eliza is a young woman who sells flowers in London. When professor Henry Higgins, played by Adam Zembower, overhears Eliza’s strong Cockney accent, he wagers his friend, Colonel Pickering, played by Lee Shaffer, that Higgins could teach the woman to speak proper English and pass her off as a proper Edwardian lady. Other cast members include Alex Weaver, James Paxson, Brieaunna Avery, and Jennifer Shaffer. Huyard said the directors were attracted to “My Fair Lady” because of its witty British humor, but also because the show is a good fit for the Cavod

interesting characters. Choosing a show to run in December can be tricky because audience members often want to see a production with a holiday feel. Huyard thinks that “My Fair Lady” will fill the bill. “Everything is so warm, and (those who attend) will leave with the Christmas spirit of loving and accepting those around us,” he said. Bulgrien came to the musical looking for chances to make the characters more realistic. “I haven’t watched the movie, so I don’t have that nostalgia connected to it,” she noted. “But as I read through the script, I … wanted to soften Higgins a bit and make their interactions more believable. I want it to be really human.” Tweaking a show with the history that “My Fair Lady” has is not without challenges, however. “People have connections to this show,” noted Bulgrien. “I want to keep what people love about it, even though I want to put a different spin on it.” Huyard is eyeing the costuming struggles of staging a show that features what he referred to as “three-foot hats.” “One of the challenges is finding the giant hats for the Ascot parade,” he noted. “Everything with this era is so extravagant, and (we want) to make (audience members feel) swept away on our stage.” Both Bulgrien and Huyard are impressed with the cast members, who are journeying from all parts of the county for rehearsals.

Customer Care Center Updated The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has modernized its online Customer Care Center - www.customer care.penndot.gov - to make it easier to report concerns on statemaintained roadways with new mapping capabilities, optional photo uploads, and a mobilefriendly interface. The purpose of the new Customer Care Center is to make it easier for members of the public to share their concerns or feedback. The modernized service sorts concerns into categories: road or bridge conditions; removing something from a roadway; traffic, signs, or signals; ongoing roadwork or projects; or general questions and concerns. Users 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. Emergency road repairs, such as road wash-outs, are handled on a top-priority basis. Concerns may also be reported through 800-FIX-ROAD (800-3497623), though the number should

not be used to report traffic accidents, disabled vehicles, or other emergencies. Motorists should continue to call 911 to report these types of emergencies. Customers with questions or concerns related to driver or vehicle services should visit www.dmv.pa.gov. For concerns related to the Pennsylvania Turnpike, readers should visit www.paturnpike.com.

2018-19 LIHEAP Applications Open their utilities and various nonprofit groups. Combined, these many different resources help hundreds of thousands of households and families across the commonwealth every year. The program’s goal is to prevent LIHEAP customers from entering the winter season with shut-off utilities. Eligibility for the 2018-19 LIHEAP season is set at 150 percent of the federal poverty income guidelines. Online applications for LIHEAP can be completed at www.compass.state.pa.us. Paper applications are available through local county assistance offices. For helpful tips on keeping warm throughout the winter while saving money on utility costs, readers may visit www.energysavers.gov. For more information on LIHEAP, readers may visit www.dhs.pa.gov.

The American Heart Association’s Healthy for Good initiative offers simple swaps for healthier holidays. The association provides its latest recipes and science-backed health tips as part of Eat Smart Month in November. Taking small steps and avoiding one common mistake - putting good habits on hold - is recommended. People may celebrate the season with no regrets by enjoying special occasion foods in moderation and swapping in healthier substitutions 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. Overly ripe fruit can be used to sweeten baked goods. Non-fat, plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream is a healthy swap with the same texture and flavor. Instead of butter, a healthier vegetable oil can be used, or people may substitute equal parts unsweetened applesauce when baking. Sneaking in a vegetable like pureed sweet potatoes, carrots, or cauliflower can boost nutrition. Frozen cubes of pureed vegetable can be ready in the freezer. Using half whole wheat and half white flour is also recommended. Whole grains are a great nutritional boost, and mixing the flours helps to disguise the swap. People can sip smarter by adding seasonal fruit to old-fashioned water. There are plenty of ways to jazz up a beverage without adding alcohol. Readers are encouraged to try infusing cranberries, pomegranate arils, or orange slices into sparkling water. To learn more, readers may visit www.heart.org or call 800-AHA-USA1.
