Message from Anthony Giaimo, Superintendent of Police As you will surely agree, we have a wonderful "sense" of community here in Tredyffrin Township.

Through its people and its structure, Tredyffrin Township has historically fostered a true community atmosphere. We realize that this notion of "community" is not only limited to the residents of the township, but businesses, schools, places of worship and, of course, the emergency first responders who are all integral parts of Tredyffrin Township. So, as a part of our community, I wish to extend our warmest greetings to everyone from the police department. On a personal note, I can certainly say, that I have enjoyed my 25+ year tenure with the police department, and the close connection to our community of friends.

Over the past several years, the police department has engaged in a number of new and innovative community programs. The development of these new programs was

based on connecting with the broadest spectrum of people, from our youngest community members to our most senior.

Such programs as the Police Learning Series, Police Summer Kid's Camp, Tredyffrin Community and Police Association (TCPA), Take 25, Drug Turn In, Halloween/Holiday Safety, Drug Awareness, Bike Rodeo, Town Hall Meetings, and the Citizen's Police Academy have all been extremely successful in linking the community with the police department and needed resources.

One new program that we are extremely happy to have launched in 2015 is called Crime Watch, which can be accessed through the Tredyffrin Township website at w w w . t r e d y f f r i n . o rg o r www.tredyffrinpd.org . Crime Watch, an interactive website, is part of a larger information portal and contains vital safety information for the community. Within this website, we will continually post crime trend

updates, recent arrest data, and include vital safety and security information. We utilized a small focus group from our Community and Police Association to look at the proposed data presented on Crime Watch and they provided the Department with some additional recommendations. As an outcropping from this focus group, we provided enhanced information regarding scams and frauds, a parent's tool kit, local anti-drug and alcohol resources, anticyberbullying resources, and suicide prevention resources. Such additions have already been favorably received by a large number of community members.

Additionally, I invite everyone to sign up for updates from Tredyffrin Crime Watch and feel free to contact the Police Department (Community Policing Unit Officer Rhonda Carroll at rcarroll@tredyffrin.org) with requests for informational additions to the website.

In closing, I want to clearly note that the Tredyffrin Township Police Department stands to carry out the policing mission with the best interest of all people in mind. Never hesitate to contact the Police Department for assistance. I wish everyone a safe and enjoyable Fall/Winter season.

He was recognized by the Townwatch Association for outstanding service to our community, including volunteer work with the special needs community as well as other local programs.

Inspections and Permit Services As part of my daily inspection routine, I am in and out of the car as I make my way between job sites. And as such, I can almost recite every commercial that is on the radio today as I hear the same ones, over and over again.

But one stood out to me about a month ago from the Philadelphia Department of Labor and Industries, better known as L&I. Their pitch was the "New and Improved L&I!" The commercial indicated that their new found role was to not only be a regulatory agency, but also to help ensure that construction projects progress accurately, safely and most importantly, "Code Compliant". They also added that these improvements will help most projects have the best chance to be completed on time and on budget.

I can confidently boast that the Tredyffrin Township's Department of Inspection and Permit Services have proudly served using that exact concept and performance model for at least the last 15 years that I've been associated with the department. The most interesting and definite key element that I believe separates us from most other Code

Talene Prescott. Talene comes from a strong corporate structure and brings many

Enforcement agencies is our commitment to customer service. Therein lies our mission to a most successful permit and inspections program.

All construction by law is to be code compliant at the very minimum. But, does it have to be such a dramatic and grueling task to get through the review and permitting process? I say absolutely not.

Our department makes every effort to review and approve projects well ahead of what the State PAUCC mandates. With that, I'd like to think that is a factor to what may attract our residents and businesses.

So, gather your plans and building specs.

As always, Tredyffrin is open for business.

Talene Prescott talents and ideas that will help increase our department's efficiency and service. If you need help with an application, review status, schedules, etc., just give her a call.

Talene truly enjoys the interactions customer service brings. And if she can't answer your question, you can count on her to get you to the person that can.

To the Philadelphia Dept. of L&I, congratulations and good luck with their new found approach to permits and inspections. And for our Tredyffrin Township residents, please always feel free to take full advantage of a proven commitment and willing partner to your next home improvement project.

Have a safe & enjoyable fall!

A Wedding Gift for Future Generations ENDOW AN ACRE - TAKE A STAKE

A Bit of History Wedding Photo

Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens has kicked off its Forever Jenkins Endowment Campaign: ENDOW AN ACRE - Take a Stake.

We invite everyone in the community to join others in securing the future of this remarkable botanical garden by becoming a partner in the campaign.

Our hope is for everyone to become involved in whatever way is meaningful to each and to join other like-minded people in endowing the acres of Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens. Without you, we would be unable to fulfill our mission or the wish of H. Lawrence Jenkins to preserve the gardens in perpetuity so that Jenkins will still be here for your children and your grandchildren.

Elisabeth Phillippe Jenkins

The home and 20 acres on which the Arboretum was first planned were formerly the property of H. Lawrence and Elisabeth Phillippe Jenkins. The Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins property was given to them in 1928 as a wedding gift by Mrs. Jenkins father, B. Pemberton Phillippe.

wildlife sanctuary for the study of arboriculture, horticulture, and wildlife for educational and scientific purposes."

In 1972, Mrs. Louisa P. Browning, owner of the adjoining property, donated her 26 acres, expanding the size of the Arboretum to 46 acres. The Browning property, including a house designed by the renowned Main Line architect R. Brognard Okie, is currently in a private area of the Arboretum. The private areas will continue to be developed and may one day be open for public visitation.

The groundwork for Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens was laid 37 years later when H. Lawrence Jenkins established the Elisabeth Phillippe Jenkins Foundation, forever preserving his property as a living memorial to his wife, an avid gardener and wildlife enthusiast.

In his will, Mr. Jenkins directed that the property become a "public park, arboretum, and

A Wedding Gift for Future Generations Browning House

Educational Fellowship. The implementation of the fellowship along with the addition of full-time horticulture staff, internships, and a volunteer program, have allowed the Arboretum to expand the botanical collections.

In the early 1970's, several steps were taken to create a botanical garden. Trails were created, a pond was installed, a visitors' center was constructed, native trees, shrubs and wildflowers were planted and, of course, a plan was developed to feature rhododendrons and azaleas. It wasn't until 1976, however, that Mr. Jenkins' vision was realized when his 20acre property officially opened to the public and became known as Jenkins Arboretum.

Over the next several decades, major changes involved the construction of a modern, energy-efficient greenhouse and the establishment of the Hamilton

Looking Ahead th Jenkins will celebrate its 40 anniversary next year. While four decades may seem like quite a milestone, it's really just the early years for what is planned to be a "perpetual" garden. Arboretum Executive Director Dr. Harold Sweetman asks supporters to think of the gardens in these terms: "Did you ever think that Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens may remain a special preserve for nature and a vibrant public garden forever? Yes, forever is a very, very long time; but everyone involved in any facet of the Arboretum & Gardens believes that our main mission is perpetual and many future generations will enjoy and learn in the gardens for a long, long time, possibly forever."

To make that happen, the Arboretum is always looking for volunteers and donors.

Many beautiful flowers and leaves grow on trees but money still does not. Growing an endowment is as important as growing the gardens themselves. Sweetman says, "For Jenkins to last forever, we must all work hard to ensure that there will be smart and sustainable growth well into the future. The only way to accomplish this is to grow a permanent endowment that will continue growing and giving in support of the gardens for many generations to come."

To learn more about Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens, its daily operating hours, gardens, and how you can get involved, visit in person at 631 Berwyn Baptist Road, Devon, or online at www.jenkinsarboretum.org.

Environmental Advisory Council Project

by Charles Cutshall

After obtaining the requisite approvals, the live stakes were harvested by volunteers from the existing black willow plants that surround the pond at Wilson Farm Park.

Black willow is a native species to this region and willows thrive in wet areas. The planting process consists of tapping a pilot hole into the soil with a piece of metal rebar and simply inserting the live stake into that same hole. No shovels used and no taxpayer dollars spent!

Riparian buffers are vegetated areas next to water resources that protect water resources from nonpoint source pollution and provide bank stabilization, as well as aquatic and wildlife habitats. They are an important component of stream health and water quality. If your property has a stream, including small tributaries, please consider establishing a riparian buffer which can be as simple as not mowing to the edge of the stream bank.

Live stake black willow that has sprouted

In March of 2015, a few members of the Tredyffrin Township Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) planted black willow live stakes into Trout Creek riparian areas along Old State Road. Black willow

live stakes are freshly cut black willow branches, roughly 2 陆 feet long and three quarter inches in diameter that are inserted into the ground in a wet area - in this case, a stream bank.

The EAC is looking to conduct another live stake planting in March 2016. If you would like to propose your neighborhood for live stake planting, contact EAC chairperson C h u c k C u t s h a l l a t chuckcutshall3@gmail.com.

Your Community Needs You More Than You Know T&E Care, Ten Years of Help for Tredyffrin Families, With More to Come Tredyffrin Township is a special place to live. The schools are great, the parks are wonderful, and there are lots of terrific restaurants and small businesses to support. Yet, for some in the township, it is a daily challenge to pay bills and put food on the table. Yes - some of our very own neighbors struggle significantly on a daily basis. Their stories are heart-wrenching and hard to imagine, but they are real.

T&E Care, Our Story Tredyffrin & Easttown Care is a 501(c)(3) non-profit all-volunteer organization that tries to offer hope to some of these families. Ten years ago, residents needing assistance had very few options.

Beginning in 2005 with the idea that many in our own community could lend a hand if

they just knew about a situation, the assistance offered these past years has been humbling and genuinely appreciated.

T&E Care learns about families needing help through contacts at the schools, the local faith-based organizations, the police, your neighbors, and/or other sources. Rent is paid when an eviction is pending. PECO bills are paid when shut-off is threatened.

Cars are repaired in order to help someone get to a job. Tuition bills are paid to keep a student in college. Dental bills are paid when no insurance is available. Camp tuition is paid so a child isn't sitting at home all summer. Over $200,000 in various types of support was offered to local families in 2014. The situations are carefully vetted. The need is real.

T&E Care volunteers also run programs to help families with every day needs such as

Volunteers at our clothing drive enjoy lunch treats donated from Starbucks and Whole Foods.

the school supply drive, the holiday drive, and the clothing drive. Furniture is offered when a family is lacking items. Computers are refurbished so kids can keep up in school.

T&E Care prides itself in keeping confidential the details on the families we support because these are our neighbors and our kids attend the same schools.

These families don't want the assistance, they need it. However, they don't want everyone to know about their situation.

One mom told us: "As a proud, independent individual it is hard for me to ask for help. However, when it comes to my children, I must do whatever I can to ensure they have what they need to succeed in school, over the summer, and in life!"

A local scout troop baked 150 dozen cookies for our holiday drive.

Monday evening, September 28th, we will be celebrating our 10 year anniversary with a recognition to all those in the community who have been part of our journey. Join us at the event which will be held at Surrey Services for Seniors in Devon. More details can be found on our website. As we embark on this important anniversary, we would like to significantly grow our email list. Please go to

"Without the help of T&E Care, I shudder to think where my children and I would be right now. Thankfully, I do not have to worry, I know they are an e-mail away and will assist with everything when they can. The services offered by T&E Care are invaluable to our community."

m Fa

How YOU can help Information about the programs being run and the assistance needed is distributed on the T&E Care website and via a monthly enewsletter. Over 2,000 community members currently receive the e-

newsletter but many, many more email addresses are needed! If you would like to receive this newsletter via email, send your contact details to information@tecare.org. Signing up does not require you to participate in anything (and we promise not to share your email with others) but many times there needs to be just one right connection and a problem can be solved!

Raising Funds - a Critical Task Many community members and businesses make donations to the organization or hold fundraisers themselves to benefit T&E Care. With no government backing, this support from individuals and local organizations and businesses is our biggest and most important source of funding. T&E Care raises additional resources through various grants as well as our major Fall Fest fundraiser each year. (Mark your th 2015 calendars now for the November 7 event!)

Tredyffrin Public Library is a Family Place Library We are proud to be a part of a network of children's librarians nationwide who believe that literacy begins at birth, and that libraries can help build healthy communities by promoting healthy families. The Family Place Libraries network currently includes more than 400 sites in 27 states and continues to grow.

In 2013, our Children's Librarian, Angie Andre, wrote a grant for Family Place training and materials. The Institute of Museum and Library Services awarded Tredyffrin Public Library $18,000 to make this possible. Intensive training and planning has culminated into a literacy program that will serve children in our community, starting at birth.

Each fall at Tredyffrin Public Library, we offer a Parent & Child Workshop Series. This five week series will meet once a week for one hour. We invite parents and children to learn and grow in a safe and fun environment in the children's story room at the Library. We provide many age appropriate and educational toys for families to use. In addition to play, the workshop hosts a professional from the community each week to share their expertise with us. One week, a librarian will talk with us about early literacy, another week we will have a nutritionist share healthy eating habits with the group, and another week we will learn about the importance of music therapy.

Parent & Child Workshop Thursdays, October 1, 8, 22 and 29, 6 - 7 PM Starting Thursday, September 3rd, you can register in person for all five sessions.

Tredyffrin Public Library is part of the network of Family Place Libraries: Building Foundations for Early Learning.

Friends of Tredyffrin Public Library and the Red Fox Book Shop Friends of Tredyffrin Public Library, promoting, advocating and raising funds for the Library for 47 years, need more volunteers. Almost every volunteer is now involved with the Red Fox Book Shop, operated by the Friends, and a major fundraiser.

The shop is open during all Library hours and maintains a storefront site on Amazon.com. Books for this online business are listed, orders filled and shipped five days a week, and email messages from customers are monitored and responded to 24/7. Twenty very dedicated volunteers sort the 50-60,000 donations of books, CDs and DVDs year round, keep the shop in great shape, and manage the online business.

More volunteers assist at the Quarterly Half-Price Sales. Both the inperson and online sales are expanding due to the generosity of the donors who bring wonderful marketable books in outstanding condition every day. If you're willing to donate your time and effort, please join these Friends' volunteers who raise funds for the Library.

The Friends are a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization and there are currently four openings on the Board of Directors. The Board Secretary position is open but other areas of responsibility also need leaders and volunteers, especially Membership, Advocacy, and Promotions. If you'd like to know more and meet other Library supporters, please join us at an information/orientation lunch on September 14, October 12, or November 9. To make a reservation, please email Miriam Bauers at miriambauers56@gmail.com. If you'd like to join us immediately, visit the Library Website and send your application.

Historic Sugartown Sugartown's General Store At the corner of Sugartown and Boot Road in Willistown Township, Malvern, you'll find the remarkably intact and lovingly restored Sugartown Store and Worrall House. Thanks to the restoration efforts of Historic Sugartown, Inc., a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization, this village corner looks much the way it did in the late 1800s when it was center of a vibrant farming community.

Sugartown's General Store was originally built in c. 1805 by Joseph Waterman the same time that he built his home and Saddle shop next door. Joseph rented out the store building, and his wife Hannah continued this practice after his death in 1813. In 1822, storekeeper John Moore advertised that he offered "an inventory of dry goods, groceries, liquors, glass, china and Liverpool war, oils, paints, drugs, iron monger, etc." In 1835, Hannah Waterman sold the store to her son Isaac, and his business partner Isaac Powell was named Sugartown's first Post Master. In 1838, the Waterman family sold the store to Garrett Pratt. Pratt served as Post Master and sold his goods on strictly a cash basis, running the store until 1846 when he sold it to Thomas Hutchison for $4,900.

Hutchison invested heavily in expanding the store's inventory and must have overextended himself. His store was sold at Sheriff's Sale for $1,735 the following January.

ranging from 2 - 12 years (and more on the way!) Sharpless was named Post Master, a position he would hold for five years, and then off and on until 1876. In 1851, Worrall worked with other community members to establish the Ivanhoe Lodge #432 of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and built a third-story addition on the Store to create their meeting space. The community came to rely on the space for other civic meetings and social events. In 1862, Worrall attempts to retire, selling the store to his son Lewis. The store seems to struggle during his proprietorship and closes in 1865. The Worrall's rent the store out for a few years and then reopen it in 1869.

In 1847 Sharpless Worrall purchased the property and opens his store. He and his wife Abigail, both in their mid-thirties, moved to the Waterman's old house with their five children

In 1871, Sharpless' wife Abigail notes in her diary that their daughter Hannah was tending the store while Sharpless was at a Lodge meeting. On December 31, 1874, Hannah

Worrall marries Hillery John, and they take over the proprietorship of the General Store.

Hillery is named Post Master in 1876. Hillery and Hannah move into the tenant houses to the left of the General Store a couple years later.

The John Day Books paint a vivid picture of community life in Sugartown during the 1880s as friends, neighbors and even seeming adversaries frequented the store. The John's ran the store until Hillery's death in 1904. His son Clyde is named Post Master, and continues to run the store until 1912 when he rents it to a storekeeper by the name of Beeber. Three of the John children - Warel, Clyde, and Marguerite - remain at the family home.

Marguerite runs an antique store from the house until 1956. Many local residents still remember her store. Historic Sugartown purchased the property from Beatrice Moore

Historic Sugartown Huber, the great grand-niece of Sharpless Worall. Because the family held onto the property for all those years, several archival documents, including the Day Books from 1847 - the 1920s, survive. Through the Day Books, Historic Sugartown is able to offer a glimpse of daily life in the village of Sugartown, including who shopped at the store and what they were shopping for.

Today, the General Store interpreted to c. 1880 when Hillery and Hannah were running it. The Store is one of five buildings you can visit at the village of Sugartown. Historic Sugartown will offer guided tours starting on May 2nd, and will be open for guided tours Saturdays, 11 am - 4 pm, and Sundays, 1 - 4 pm through the first week in December.

Dog Training - Praising Your Dog As humans, we are able to understand the various ways words can be used. We understand that one word can have many meanings in various situations and that different words can be used to mean the same thing. Unfortunately, your dog is not so lucky when it comes to verbal communication. Dogs are phenomenal at exhibiting and reading body language, but they have a vocabulary of approximately 12-20 vocalizations (depending on which study you read).

Why is this such a bad idea? Well, you are going to be spending quite a bit of time teaching your dog a few key words, such as sit, down, stay, etc., and pairing them with specific behaviors. Each time you use a word differently, you are adding a little confusion to the mix and potentially making it harder for your dog to learn the true meanings of the behaviors. We generally refer to this as the power or value of the cue. You want the cue to be very strong and for your dog to understand its meaning clearly.

This number range is way less than the thousands of words humans have adapted to understanding, and that doesn't even include tone, context, etc. Once you know and accept this idea, it becomes a little more understandable when your trainer tells you that "down" can only mean one thing and that "put your belly on the floor" can't also mean "don't jump." Other than overusing words and leading to misunderstandings, there is one other instance where people misuse words with their dogs, and this is a big one "sit" followed by "good sit" or some other variation of using a command word in praise.

Why is it so hard for your dog to understand praise including a cue?

You will often see directions on the internet with phrases such as, "Every time his rump hits the floor, tell him 'Good sit!'" This is meant to help your dog pair their current act with the word "sit."

Here is why that doesn't work: your dog does not understand grammar. Simply stated, you understand that "sit" can be both a verb and noun, as in "sit down" and "the act of sitting." Your dog does not. For your dog, "sit" is technically a discriminative sound or stimulus.

A good example of a discriminative stimulus that may be easier to understand is the sound of a whistle in sporting events. The whistle tells you to start, whether that means dive off of the block in swimming, or to stop due to a penalty, as seen in football. The whistle means only one thing in each sport and is never repeated right after the start or stop to tell the players they did a good job.

This is how it feels to your dog.

The sound "sit" means that they are likely to get a reward if they put their bum on the floor. Once their bum is down, repeating the cue with the praise does not tell your dog that they did a good job sitting. That would mean that they understand "good" is being used to describe the act of sitting. You're essentially wasting the power of the word "sit" by repeating it with the praise.

So what does this mean for praise? You might have come to the conclusion that words matter for your dog. This is absolutely true!

So what about the power of your chosen praise word? Well, you give a word power through consistency and clarity by using each word for only one meaning.

A lot of people choose the word "good." This is a completely fine word to use. However, now that you know words have power, you may notice yourself using "good" to mean multiple things. "Good" might mean you did a good job and are about to get a treat, or it might mean that they are generally a good dog. Either way, it is hopefully paired with a good reward which can help the pup associate it with good feeling and drive them to work for the chosen praise word.

To be extremely clear and consistent you can choose a unique word or sound and pair it exclusively with a food reward to help build a stronger drive for reinforcement. This is one reason why many trainers recommend clickers for training. The clicker is used as a primary reinforcer since it is always paired with food. Even if you accidentally click, you still treat to ensure the clicker is highly reinforcing.

Secondary reinforcers, like praise, are also used once a dog has a good history of reward and is preforming extremely well so that you can fade out the clicker or primary reinforcer. I, for one, tell my dogs they are good and beautiful and the best dogs ever all the time, which is why I specifically do not use the word "good" in training.

My primary reinforcer is "yes." Rarely would I say "yes" to a dog in regular every day interactions. I use "rockstar" as my secondary reinforcer, letting my dog know they are on the right track or that a treat will be coming imminently (it's a great way to utilize praise for performance dogs since you are not allowed to treat them during competition).

Hopefully now you understand that words have power and meaning for your dog, just maybe not the meaning you expected.

By communicating clearly and consistently with your dog, you can build a stronger relationship and see better training results.
