Kennett to announce new manager

The Kennett Township Board of Supervisors will introduce the new Township Manager during their regularly scheduled Board of Supervisors’ meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 21, at 7 p.m.

Kennett Township residents are invited to attend the meeting where the new Township Manager will be introduced and officially hired. The start date for the new manager has been set for late September.

The Supervisors meeting will be held in the Meeting Room in the lower level of the Kennett Township Building at 801 Burrows Run Rd, Chadds Ford, PA 19317. All attendees are welcome to stay after the meeting concludes to meet the new township manager.

The position of Township Manager has been vacant since May 1, when the former township manager was placed on administrative leave because bank officials discovered suspicious transactions in township bank accounts. An interim township manager, Alison Rudolf, was hired in May to manage during the transition.

Supervisors have been working with the Robert B. and Helen S. Meyner Center at Lafayette College to find a replacement for Lisa Moore. The financial discrepancies remain under investigation.

Heat and humidity to continue

Along the Ford

AccuWeather and the National Weather Service are both reporting continued heat and humidity through tomorrow, Tuesday, Aug. 20. Along with that are the chance of thunderstorms and a heat advisory.

According to an email from AccuWeather, “The overall pattern Monday and Tuesday will be quite similar [to that over the weekend], with waves of showers and thunderstorms moving through the Northeast.”

The weather service added that some of the high heat and humidity could last into Wednesday. The combination of the heat and humidity will also combine to create a situation in which heat illnesses are possible and advises people to drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.

People should also take extra precautions, if they work or spend time outside. When possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Wear light weight and loose fitting clothing when possible and drink plenty of water.
