Two candidates — of the six running — were no shows at the Oct. 29 candidates’ night and that became a flash point between two who did participate. All three seats for Region C — Chadds Ford and Pennsbury townships — in the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District are up for grabs. Lorraine Ramunno and incumbent school board Director Carolyn Daniels, both Republicans, ...
There are two supervisors’ seats up for election Nov. 3, and one of the races is contested. Democrat Alan Horowitz will run against Noelle Barbone for the remaining two years of Keith Klaver’s term. Klaver resigned from the board in January and Samantha Reiner was appointed interim. She is now running for a full six-year term as a replacement for long time Supervisor ...
I read with great amusement the nuanced bewilderment of [Kathy] Do and [Gregg] Linder. In my simple view, [Jeff] Hellrung did not endorse anyone. The assertion of Do and Linder that an organization “single-handedly defeated two referendums” is an insult to the majority of district voters who disagreed with their position concerning the renovation of the high school. ...
The Chester County Sheriff’s Office has released an updated list of Chester County’s most wanted fugitives and is seeking the assistance of the public to help track them down. Chester County Sheriff Carolyn "Bunny" Welsh said, “The first public release of our Most Wanted list in July of 2014 resulted in the arrest of four fugitives who were featured on that list. We ...
PennDOT has announced the following road projects, which are weather-dependent and could affect residents in the greater Chadds Ford area during the week of Oct. 31 through Nov. 7. Motorists are urged to allow extra time if they are traveling through one of the construction zones. Route 1 in both directions in New Garden Township will be subject to lane closures for ...
On Tuesday, I will go to the polls and vote for Alan Horowitz. I will do so as a proud Republican, but also as an even prouder resident of the Estates of Chadds Ford and citizen of Chadds Ford Township. I will vote for Alan for three key reasons: His business and leadership experience; his commitment to protecting Chadds Ford from over-development; and his ...
It is a very sad day for the UCFD school district when a sitting school board member, Jeff Hellrung, uses his position to engage in politics in an election outside his region. Jeff’s scurrilous editorial attack on Kathy Do, Bev Brookes and Gregg Lindner has no place in schoolboard dynamics. It will only poison the well of our deliberations. I’ve been a member of the ...
The Chester County Board of Commissioners heard a presentation on the county’s 2016 preliminary budget at its Sunshine Meeting on Thursday, Oct. 29. Chief Operating Officer Mark Rupsis outlined the $525.9 million, draft spending plan, which holds the line on taxes and represents a 1.35 percent decrease from 2015. The preliminary budget calls for $439 million in ...
While you can ward off vampires with garlic alone, a few small changes around your home will keep vampire energy from haunting you this Halloween. Vampire or “phantom” energy is energy used by computers, televisions, cable/satellite boxes, chargers, and other appliances and devices that continue to use power while powered off but still plugged in. These devices ...
If there's one thing we can all agree on, it is that Chadds Ford is at a crossroads. We can either take a strong stand and protect our open space and scenic beauty, or we can allow development from Concord Township to overwhelm us. This is why our choice for supervisor on Tuesday is so critical. And this is why I believe Chadds Ford residents of all parties should ...
We were saddened and, quite frankly bewildered, by [Jeff] Hellrung’s attack against us and his endorsement of our opponents. The comments expressed are diametrically opposed to comments he has made to us personally. We guess it really is true that politics makes strange bedfellows. Hellrung’s letter is ironic for two reasons. First, when we ran four years ago, ...
